Speaker 1 (00:02):
Everybody transmitting America Show. Good morning, good morning, good morning,
good morning, good morning, and welcome to Friday's show Studio.
Lots of things today, we'll do the dance parties. We
have a new artist named Cassie Ashton who's in my
class of I do think you're gonna hear her and go, whoa,

(00:26):
that's what I think She's going to perform in studio
a couple of hours. Yeah, pretty full show. Yesterday we
were talking about things that you've had to explain to
your kids that you never thought you'd have to explain
because you didn't even know that's a thing. And Namy
talked about I haven't talked about mermaids and dolphins to
her kids and say one's real, one isn't. There was
another one too yesterday you said, well, there's like one

(00:48):
of our neighbors has a been in their yard and
it's full of food, nonperishal items that people, if they're hungry,
they can reach in and take what they want. So
I had to explain to my kids what that was,
and I said, maybe we could go buy some food
and help fill it up from time to time, but
that's they weren't really concerned they were like, Oka, yeah,
that would be neat. But my daughter literally looked up.
She goes, so, anytime I'm hungry, I can just come

(01:09):
take food out of here. And I said no, because
we have food. This for people that don't. She said,
but if you're not around and I'm hungry, I'm gonna come.
And I said, oh great. So now my neighbors, I
just have to explain. If you ever see my daughter
in your ben just let me know. I'll replace it.
That's funny. Yeah, I wonder if that has a lot
to do with her upbringing there with the orphanage where
people would bring Do you think it does now? I
just feel maybe any kid, any parent, would have time

(01:32):
explained to their kids. No, it's not just for when
you're hungry, it's for people that don't have access to
food that are hungry. That makes sense. Yeah, she's definitely,
and it's right by my house and I think she's
all some seven. There's you like to was like, great
Sarah in Michigan, Yeah, good morning. What happened with you
where you had to explain to your kids? I was.

(01:55):
I took my two nieces and my at the time
ten year old sisters to brunch. But I sit there
and my husband and I asked they wanted to say
grace because I know that they prayed with their other families,
you know, before meal. They started holding hands and chanting
the word grace. Something grace, grace too in the middle disaster,

(02:16):
and I'm like, oh, sweep SOPs, that's funny, say grace.
It's it's it's good, that's fine. I appreciate you, Thank
you very much. Mr Babby Ball. Let me say, I
did not mean to hit that button. Oh I thought
we were done. No, no, no, I meant to go.
I appreciate you, and my finger hit the wrong button

(02:41):
recognizing people doing cool things. So when Anne and Vic
first began fostering at pitbull terrier, the dog had crazy
anxiety and they were fostering it. So who knows what
kind of home it came from. So the dog was rescued.
I think they thought it would been a trying to fight,
and so you get a dog like that and understandably

(03:04):
it's not in the best condition to be loved and
you have to retrain it. So what they did is
they we just walking all the time. They just walking
all the time, and they lost eighty pounds. It's like
a double. They walked the dog so much, he's way
less anxious and they lost eighty pounds walking the dog
because they set the goal, We're gonna walk the anxiety
out of this dog, and for them it work. Two

(03:25):
win win. So first of all, to Anne and Vic
who adopted a pit bull after it was fighting. That's
awesome and I see you. Secondly, you lost all the
weight you held to the goal of helping out somebody there.
I love dogs and people and walking down I walk, Yeah,
I see you. Bobby Bones show Big three Stories and

(03:46):
its producer Raymond Your Downtown l A. There was a
shooting at a middle school. Four injured. Authorities were saying

Amy's building what they're calling Nashville's newest monument in her backyard,
the tais Ma Garage. Because it's so big. Ugh, it's
on a hill. You can see My backyard goes up

(04:31):
on a hill. I was driving over to Amy see
the kids. I said, sr. Eiffel Tower and Nashville. It

So a couple of things. One, as the inspector come out, Yes,
there was someone that showed up to do it. Were
still waiting on certain permits for something. But some guys
showed up and I don't think he's who we were

(04:52):
waiting for. And he just said he was with the
county and he needed to take measurements and make sure
that everything was within code. And I'm thinking, well, we
went through all this, so don't our architect. We should
be good to go. And now I'm thinking, oh no,
the house, well now, well good point one, Either something
happened and Taj mcgarrage has gott out of control and

(05:13):
we're not within the code that we thought we were in.
Or two he was chasing He said, I'm just gonna
need to find a way into your backyard. I'm gonna
be roaming around back here for about fifteen minutes and

(06:20):
now for your positivity? How was that fifties announcer keep nailed?
Thank you? Time for positivity. Let's go seven years old.
She saw that her family stove was on fire. At seven.
She used our fire safety tips. She goes and she
tells a thirteen year old hey, She runs to gets

(06:44):
the neighbors calls ninety one from the neighbor's house and
the fire department gets there. I mean seven years old.
She knew all of that, retained all that from school. Seven.
You have a seven year old, I know, he's just
a little I can't imagine you're doing lots of different things.
He also so isn't cognitively, he's not seven and physically.
I was just gonna say English is English? Is good

(07:05):
enough to run to the neighbors and go, hey, does
fire at the house. Yeah, I wasn't gonna say that.
Wasn't going all there. But yeah, yeah, but he's really
not on no part of him, and this is no
fault to him. It's just how he grew up. He's
not seven. I had a dream about him. Him and
I were speaking English to each other. Really Yeah, yes, okay,
that's awesome. Yeah, and now that I just some dreams

(07:25):
only come back to me occasionally. Yeah, we were hanging
I just can't hanging out. Was he was he young
or grown? He started having English? Imber thinking, you get it, dude.
I can't wait for that day he is getting it,
but I can't wait to have full blown like we're
just everybody knows what everybody's saying. We don't have that
with lunchbox yet, so I don't know. So some guerrillas

(07:48):
at the Memphis Zoo just got a big delivery and
it's toys from families whose kids have outgrown them. So
this is just an idea for you can do yes,
and they because they need the stimulation. And one woman
said she got the idea of reached out to friends
on Facebook. It's like, Hey, any kids have overgrown or
outgrown some of your toys, give them to me. I'm
gonna drop them off at the zoo and the gorillas

(08:13):
just me with you, buddy, that's okay. I'm cool, dude.
I'm I'm not gonna bring down. Tell me something good
with your negativity. I'm just cold. Fitzgerald is a thirteen
year old kid from Philadelphia. He is a huge Eagles fan.
He's been battling canceled cancer for four years. He beat
it and someone read his story online in Minnesota. They

(08:33):
had tickets to the Super Bowl because they were Vikings fans.
Vikings didn't make it, so they gave Cold tickets. Whoa
great story and a great read and presentation of the story.
I want to thank that fan and sorry for your season.
Better luck next year. I gonna let that part out. Well,
Cold is trying to be naughty. That's good, that's good. Hey,
great story. Yeah, you go show one of America's favorite segments.

(09:02):
Is it fake news? Is it fake news? Lunch Box
will deliver a story. We have to decide if it's
fake news or if it's real. Lunch Box over to
your buddy. The Denver Zoo has a new exhibit that
will allow people sixteen and older to take a picture
in the lions. Then it costs fifty per person. You
get there, there's two zookeepers. Take a picture with the lion.

(09:24):
Start in this spring. I feel like that could be real. Yeah,
I don't think it's crazy to take a picture of
a lion if there's zookeepers. I don't like zoos because
I don't like when animals are held captive in cages,
taking out of their natural habitat. Yeah, but since he exists,
is okay that we take our kids to visit them

(09:46):
like that? No, I haven't ever really changed. I do.
Was gifted a membership to the zoo for my kids,
and I'm thinking that would be great and it's a
way for them to learn about animals. That they would
never see. I don't mind sanctuaries if they're actually taking
care of animals that need sanctu weary zoos, I'm just
not a fan of. So I'm gonna say that's a
real story. I don't think it's that far fetched. And

(10:06):
if it's a fake story, then it could be real. Yeah,
so I'm saying real real news. Amy, Okay, go fake news.
It's real news. One fake news? Is it? That is
fake news? Why that was? Well, maybe because their heads
to get bit off by the line. Oh there's that,

(10:27):
there's that far I just you know, people take picture
of guys animals. I thought that'd be real. You make
the whole thing up out of boy. Sorry. Today this
story comes up from California. A twenty eight year old
man is facing reckless endangerment charges after accidentally shooting his friend.

(10:48):
And they were at his apartment and they were practicing
their gun twirl. Who could twirl at the best on
their finger? Oh no, and the buddy actually hit the
trigger boom, shot it right in the shoulder. Why would
you have that gunload? They said? They believe alcohol was involved. Well,
that's why you would have the gun loaded. Most of
these bone head stories. I'm sometimes hoping alcohols in all yeah,

(11:11):
otherwise it's not it's not good making fun of somebody.
We shouldn't make rights. I'm lunchbox at your They call
me judge common sense Hunter. Why do people call me that? Um?
Because you know everything? I like that answer. Mostly I

(11:32):
just get irritated people when they don't have common sense.
I don't think everybody supposed to be smart. We're all
different levels of knowledge, but common sense we should all
possess that. Hunters on with a question for Judge common Sense,
which is me. Hunter. You are in the courtroom. What
can I do for you? All right, judge, thank you
for accepting my case. Yes that's right, all right, okay,

(11:52):
thank you. I'm raising Alton. Okay, Hunter, go ahead. So
me and laws and uh, the girl going to a
fancy restaurant. Parking lots full, right, So then while it's like, hey,
we'll drop you all off the front door and we'll
go back to the condo which is right down the
street getting uber back. So they drop us off. Right

(12:16):
after the turn out of the parking lot, a spot
opens up. The girlfriend wants to sit in the parking
spot and save it for somebody's trying to someone's trying
to parking. She's like, sorry, they're coming, they're pulling around,
they're coming back, and I'm like, you can't do that.
She thinks she's right. I think I'm right. I came
to the judge. So regardless of who did what, I

(12:40):
always find a funny one. I see people are standing
in a parking spot. Do you know what holds a
parking spot? The car. You can't have humans standing in
parking spots if your car's not there in time for
the spot. It's not a reservation bass system, which is
what you're doing with the human body. No, you know what.
I just slowly nudged them out. I was just slowly

(13:01):
driven and it pushed him out of the way. Yes,
I would have absolutely went right in front of them,
and I would have slowly. I would have just crept.
I would have just crept because they can't win. They
have to move or they're going to get run over.
So you cannot stand and hold a spot. Now, Hunter,
is that pro or or anti you? I kind of
like got lost in your story. But that's pro that's

(13:21):
pro me. Judge comments sence his role. You cannot stand
in the spot and hold it. Let's go. Yeah whatever,
he said. Yeah, that's a great question though, because sometimes
in Austin there would be people, homeless people that would
stand in and they would people would pay them for

(13:42):
the spots. They yeah, I give it to you for
three or four bucks. Okay, well let me nudge you
out of the way. Yeah, all right, hunter, I appreciate you, buddy,
appreciate I love your cour you love it. Wait, Carson wentzy,
but he doesn't play. He's he's hurt. Dude, that Carson
was doesn't matter. He's still he's so. He's so good

(14:03):
looking and just so cool, that's all. Oh my gosh,
I don't get me started on him. I can't go
on a rent. Are you Are you a straight dude? Yes?
And you love his good looking? Oh yeah, I just wonder.
I mean there are certain like there's some guys like

injured And he's also really good looking. He's good like
what you're dealing with and being so good that great

(14:26):
looking guy. But I would be like Tom Brady clutch player.
He's also really good looking. I'll go second. Somebody told
me something one time, go ahead. My old friend Dion.
He said, look good, feel good. No no, no, If
you look good, you feel good, and feel good, you
play good. If you play good, they pay good. That's
what he's said. So he's saying, because his player looks good,

(14:50):
he's gonna plays I got. There's no hate in that
I got. I appreciate your hunter. Yeah, I appreciate your buddy.
There you go, there's a hunter. Appreciate you my bones.

because he bet Leo wouldn't wan an oscar for the revenuant,

like as a family, that's what we do. We don't
your kids they look up. I had a contract deal
with you and I thought I was leaving the show.

(21:08):
My husband said, you're fulfilling the contract. That's what we
do as a family. Okay, Okay, with me getting a
taddoo a bobby on my body Monday, you tell me
yes or no? That's what you guys do a family.
What would your kids say if you don't and they
hear this in the archives? Oh, I think that this

is going to confuse them. Okay, they're not gonna see tattoo. Okay,
that being sane. I don't know. Are you getting it?
Monday Show? Let's go. If you like podcasts, or even
if you don't, let me recommend to you the Bobby Cast.
It's a show I do from my house. Very easy.
You just go to I Heart Radio or iTunes search

(21:50):
Bobby Cast downloaded right to your phone. Easy. It's free
and you can hear artists over my house talking for
hour about things you never get to hear on the radio.
The latest is Christian Bush. He talks about how sugar
Land was formed, went away, came back, talks about him
having a rock deal. Daniel Bradberry came by the house.
That was a really good one. Dan from Dan and Shay.
There's a Chris Stapleton and Marion Morris like a our

(22:13):
just talking like humans. So search Bobby Cast if you
want more country music. Dmy's thirty second Skinny Montgomery Gentry's
final album is out today. It's called Here's To you,
and they completed it shortly before Gentry was killed in
that helicopter crash back in September. It's a lot of
fans looking forward to that out today. And then justin

(22:35):
timber Lake's new album is called Man of the Woods.
An he wants everyone to know that the title doesn't
mean it's a country album. He posted a video on
Instagram explaining that it's named after his son Silas, which
means wood or forest or woods. But I looked at
the track listing. It's obviously out. But the song is

(22:56):
called flannel Man of the Woods. It makes sense that
we would go with a three albums, right, Yeah, so
don't act like wor stoopides the timber League. Okay, what
else in theaters today? You got Winchester The House that
Ghosts built, and it's inspired by true events from I
guess the most haunted house in the world that's in

(24:53):

one stop blind, no Walmart. People that live an hour
away have never heard of it. They're like, what's the
califnt you're up? Yeah, yeah, we have a stoplight or Walmart.
My town California, Arkansas. Oddly no, but your towns really

(25:39):
called California, Missouri. It is seriously and like, for the
longest time growing up our welcome sign had palm trees
on it, and I'm like, there's no palm trees here,
So how did you get to Nashville? I thought, I
want to come here in my whole life. I want
to be a country music singer. Literally since the time
I could sing words out of my mouth. And my
mom was born and raised in Nashville, and after high
schoo I was like, yeah, I'm not going to college

(26:02):
to Nashville. And my grandma, who like dropped out of
high school, she was like fifteen because that's what they
did back in the day to have babies and stuff.
She's like, no, you're going to college or you're not
my granddaughter. And I was like for what, like accounting,
Like what I'm gonna waste my youth? Grandma? And my
mom saving grace says, she has said, what about Belmont.

(26:23):
It's in Nashville. It's a music school. And I was like, yeah, cool,
sign me up. When when do I go? She's like, well,
you have to audition and it's really expensive. So luckily
I got it and I got scholarships situated. Yeah, you
have to go and sing in front of people. Yes,
describe that scene to me. Okay, So for the audition,

(26:44):
you have to do a classical piece, and then you
have to do an up tempo and a ballad, and
so you think three songs in front of people. Yes, yes,
what are you seeing as your up tempo song? I
sang black Horse in the Cherry Tree. I want to
read live this a bit, so i'm i'm, I'm, I'm
a professor bones, yes, I'm like miss Cassy Ashton, you're

(27:05):
up and you're gonna perform your number black Horse in
a cherry Tree. Um, go ahead and begin so do
a little Do you remember the first part of the words, Well,
my heart know me better than I know myself, so
I'm going to let it do all the talk. And
they're like, okay, this girl crazy. Did they started feeling Yeah,
Well no, no, it was like I found out later.

(27:28):
So one of the professors ended up being my vocal
teacher all four years. He's the head of the program.
So he loves me and like all my wildness. He's
very calm and like zin, but he really appreciates it.
And then one of the guys is like this probably
older man in his eighties classical, like, I think he
could hear me. So that was good but he I
think he was a little scared, and the other teacher

(27:49):
was classical too. I want to hear this song. I'll
talk to you a little more after this. So this
song is called California Missurry. This is the first song
I heard from you. I actually just saw a teaser
clip a month ago from some friends of mine. They
were posted on their Facebook. Yeah, and I said, let
me see what what Cassie Ashton's about. And then I
was like, man, she's really good. So then we put
in the class and this was the first song that
you've released, and it's out now. Yes, so this is

(28:11):
California Missouri from Cassie Ashton. I guess. So because of
licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this
I Heart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can't
go to Bobby Bones dot com to see it. We
hate that we had to take it down. Wasn't our decision,
but I just wanted to keep you up and we
wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go
to Bobby Bones dot com to watch her here whatever

(28:32):
you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to
the show. And sorry about all the legal stuff I
was that's special right there. Look at that thank you.
I just say I didn't. I was sort of on
like a maternity leave of sorts. Yeah, your two kids
are so cute. Thank you. You're welcome. So I don't

(28:54):
know really everybody who's in Bobby's class, and I have
not heard you at all, and so you kind they
did the little sampler earlier what you auditioned with. I
was like, Okay, that sounds amazing, and then you're just
saying that, and I couldn't take my eyes off you.
I mean it was so like, I love you like
that different thank you that means a lot. You'd be

(29:17):
cancered too, by the way, Yes, yes I did. How
old were you when you were diagnosed? I know nothing?
What's funny? Would you? Can you share a little bit?
Or just started to spring semester of sophomore year at Belmont,
I thought I had the flu. So I went to
the clinic and they're like, yo, you have like a

(29:37):
golf ball wump in your throat. Have you seen this?
And I had never seen it. I had just gone
off Christmas break. I'm like, how have I not? I mean,
I'm not the kind of person that doesn't look at
a mirror and so so they're like, oh, don't worry,
like ent of girls your age with a swelling, like
it's just a swollen lift note. And I'm like cool, Well,

(29:58):
in my life, I'm usually the smaller percentage of things,
and there's a lot of cancer in my family. And
so I did went through an ultrasound in biopsy, and
I remember my doctor had a Manila envelope and I
always make a joke like when people look sad, and
so I go, so do I get to wear like

(30:18):
a cool mermaid wig or what? And he was like
kind of laughed, and then he looked at me, like, yo,
this is not funny. And he's like, okay, well, no
mermaid wig, but you do have thyroid cancer. So it
was in the whole right side of my thyroid, in
almost all of the left and then it was in
a bunch of live notes in my neck and my chest,
and they wanted to take it out like the next week.

(30:40):
But I had a show at school that I had choreographed.
A large part of the dancing had a huge soul
I've been working on all year, and I was like, yo,
you're gonna have to wait till after my show, and
they were like, what are you crazy? I'm like, no,
this is my craft, this is why do you guys
are gonna have to wig? And um They're like okay.
So we waited like a month and had it taken out,
went through two treatments of radioactive iodine, which is cool

(31:04):
because you're pe glows and you can't be around people
you're quarantine. I made a joke like I was gonna
invite the people over that I didn't like and hug
them because I was radioactive, just have like a hugging party.
I didn't. I stayed in my bed. But yeah, I
wouldn't be who I am. I know it's fun. I
wouldn't be who I am without it. Seriously, Well, I

(31:27):
will see you against soon. Yes, did she impress you guys? Yes?
I can always go when the room starts to go.
Oh that room doesn't do that very often. And they're like,
she done yet? You guys won if she done her
humor herd to congratulations on being awesome. Thank you so much.

(31:50):
Same to you guys one day. We hope to achieve
that right in oh whatever, if you could have one
voice of any singer, you got to pick the voice
inside of your body? Right, any singer whose voice would

(32:11):
you have? Think about that one for a second. Lunchbox
Chris Stapleton, solid choice, powerful, distinct, and awesome, all three
of those yes, yes to think about Stapleton's voices. I
just feel like it's vocal cords slamming each other. And
I don't know if it has a longevity, because I do.

(32:32):
I think Chris Stables voices is my favorite voice right
now to listen to the music. I'm surprised his band,
his old bands aren't getting downloaded the more too, because
people download the old table and stuff. Okay, so you
picked her stabletons that eliminate Stable because I may have
picked up, but lunch Box took him off the board

(32:54):
so hard this thing like you're closer to Adele than
lunchboxes tabletops. Yeah, okay, I just feel like I live
with like a major powerhouse. But that that's the per pound,
that's the point fire to the ring. Yea, you pick all.
She has voice problems too, she does powerful people get
the notes and go ahead, which one am basically what

(33:24):
I sound like Amy? So pretty much you already have
her voice. So Amy's taking Adele off the board. Who
you got Eddie first round, live or dead. They have
to be alive alive. Okay, let's give me Bruno Mars.
I got that condo in Manhattan. Girl, you know what's happening?
You know what I'm saying, like, Yeah, my name is Bruno?
What up? Like? That's what I want? That rasp I

(33:45):
love people with raspy voices. Yeah, I mean that's a
good one. Too many robbery? Hey, Hey, hey, Hey, what
was happening? Hey? Who don't get this camp? I got
a kind of women, Davy Man, Raymond our audio producer.

(34:13):
You can pick any voice. Who do you take musically?
I gotta probably go with a rapper, I was saying,
probably Kendrick Lamar. Yeah, so but do you get his
rat skills too? I guess is that what you want? So? Okay? Well,
hey that it doesn't. That's the thing about life. You

(34:33):
can you can lie. If they don't give you rules,
you can be the rules. To remember, Raymond tastes kids, Lamar.
But now I'm counting this count. That's if I come down.
I'm saying. When my Blue Bay tastes like late for
the day, I'm going if I can have any voice,
what artists would you take I know what you want.

(34:54):
You don't, it's not it's not that's his guitar skills.
He would want overall artist, probably John Mayer. That is
not the best singer. So you're going vocally with vocally
with Chris, I think it's kind of weak. Super super
and the sustainable distinct not just picturing you in like

(35:17):
a little crop top on stage, but you don't succeed.
That's your voice already. Yeah. Perfect, But even their big
songs was so good. Why do you guys hate not mine?

(35:40):
Because I didn't expect you to go there at all.
I went for a lot of reasons. I went for distinctness, sustainability,
crop top, it's just a pure voice, sounds like you
already ahead. Can we take a second and think about
if we were all just us doing the show, but
we actually had those voices. Yeah, we'll probably all go

(36:02):
with your own careers. Just be amazing, like alute. Certain
segments just would really just every segment that every would
get annoyed and are talking about my junior junior man.
You know, I want to said that I have a
segment to come enough, so it's yeah, I mean number two,

(36:25):
we're not gonna leave you out of this take any voice.
Oh man, she's twenty five years old, twenty four years old.
She might pick like Hannah Montana. I don't know, go ahead,
I think I'm gonna have to go with Taylor Swift vocally,
great songwriter, great like the cold Play part. It's like, yeah,

(36:47):
I can't hate on it. I'm obsessed, but I heart Radio.
Deep track featuring Taylor Swift Dear John should think you
know what Taylor song identify with? Oddly? I know it's weird.
Yeah it's fifteen. Yeah, it's weird. Why is every hating me?

(37:12):
I'm not no, no, just speaking in our minds. No,
it is weird. You're like, and somebody loves you. Take
a deep breath and you walk through the doors. It's
the morning of your very first day at school. Seen
in all stay out of the everybody's way life in

(37:37):
the hallway. It's your fresh year. Why you're gonna be
here for next four seeing your boys? Your boys? Yeah
that's seen. Yeah, come on, and what a deep inside

(38:12):
you are? Like think a metaphor for life. It had
to be fifteen. That can be adulthood. They can be college,
it can be old age. It could be but she says,
when you're what you guys, Hey, now this all segment
and I have the ability to end it, so goodbye,
get your bones on show. Amy's wanting to not cover

(38:35):
her couch and plastic and leave the plastic on the
couch all the time. Smart like everything we have, I
just want to cover it. So similar to a grandma
that just wants to protect everything. Kids are just changing
the game, which is fine. I want our house to
be lived in. I'm not opposed to it. It's more
so the p and stuff is still being yeah, which

(38:57):
I get it. He's not even yet. Yeah, he's seven.
And I know guys and y'all can correct me'all are
all boys, y'all, y'all, it takes you longer sometimes. What
do you mean? I heard girls are I don't deal
with that as long as boys do. Oh you mean
not to be the bed anymore? All I know is
me and I was. I was late to stop and

(39:18):
I still would occasionally put was eight maybe nine, oh wow,
And you just couldn't. It's just wanted this. It wasn't
even know. I think it was a mental thing. I
think it was a psychological thing, an attention seeking thing.
For me. Oh man, that's what? What do I know?
And did that? Did you do? You feel like you
got no? No, I think I just got tired to

(39:39):
clean up the pe so you would have to do. Yeah. Again,
you're talking about kids that came from another country. We're
living in an orphanage, so I don't know. Yeah, my
daughter is totally good. You can have water. We sort
of have a water cut off time with him and I.
I don't know if any parents have any other tips
for me. And again, he's still a kid, so I'm
cool with it. But it's when he falls sleep somewhere

(40:00):
else and I don't want to move him, and then
I leave him there and I don't have a protector
like on his mattress. We have a mattress protector, but
on the couches don't. So so cover on plastic and
leave him. I might next time you all come over,
I just have plastic on everything. I really will help
with all the other stuff too. Amy said she freaked
out because she fell asleep and she woke up and

(40:20):
she did, how long will you? Probably ten minutes? And
I can. I I'm at this point because I'm not
sleeping much at night that I think I could take
a little nap anywhere and everywhere because I'm just tired.
And where were the kids when you're doing this? They
were at school? Okay, there's school. So it's the day,
the day, and I'm on the couch and I fall
asleep quickly, and then I'm like, wake up. I freak out,
like where the kids? Where am I supposed to be?

(40:41):
Where's work? Like? There's so many things running through my head,
And then this piece of calm just came over me.
It's sort of we've all had it with this job
because we wake up so early. There's been times where
I've woken up at midnight or one am random my
closet started getting ready for the show Racing. My alarm
hasn't even going off, so I don't even know why.
My brain is theking this. And then I look at

(41:01):
the clock and realize it's one am, and I go
back to bed just such relief. I felt that relief
of Okay, my kids are at school, they're safe. I'm
not a bad parent. Because I could see me falling
asleep during the day if their home, and then walking
out the front door and be like, what up, world
do you want to give me a ride somewhere. I
gotta go to the store, which my daughter has discovered
a change jar we have and she takes it now

(41:23):
and thinks she can just go buy things. So yeah,
I could see her taking it and going the gas
station down the street. I didn't know she was doing
the money thing, by the way, but you just found out. Yeah,
apparently she takes money to school every day and buys chips.
And you didn't know she was taking money. I didn't
know kids could even buy chips. I didn't even know
there's a thing. And she pulled this big old thing
at Cheetos, flaming hot cheetos out of her bag and

(41:46):
I said, where did you get those? Because I bought
them where her at school? With what my money? My
dad gave him a piggy bank. Your dad, Grandpa Pa
Paul gave him a piggy bank, and they discovered that
they could get into it and get the money out.
I said, oh, no, you're supposed to say that money
it's a piggy bank. But yeah, I mean, if you,
but for about a week, she's been buying Cheetos every day.

(42:09):
No idea, she's currency at school, like in prison. Flaming
hot cheetos are worth like apparently, yeah, which great. I'm like,
I'm thinking awesome because the other day the store she
did ask me for flaming hot cheetos and I said, no,
we're not going to have those in the house. She's like, okay,
I'll show you adel every day. School my great, thanks,

(42:32):
school coming up? Tell me something good? We do have
the dance party at the top of the hour. We
got a lot of good coming. Come on. Let's say, Amy,
in your bed, right and you find another woman's underwear
in your bed, what do you do? It's for sure

(42:55):
a woman's Yeah, it's not yours. It's not yours, little girl,
it's not yours. It's quite the scenario. I mean, that's hard.
How a guy got him big trouble with a girlfriend
she found another woman's underwear in their bed. He said,
I swear to you, I do not know how it
got there. What do you expect him to say that? Yeah? Okay,

(43:15):
and so go ahead. How did they get there? That's
what I say? If he says. A few days later,
after he had already been in trouble by her, they
saw a cat dragging a brawl and realized the cat
was in the neighbor's laundry and the cat of crawled
through the window and left it. The cat had stuff

(43:38):
that poor guy, that poor Yes, yeah, and there's yeah
unless like somebody else's your laundry in their laundry. See,
that's why you can't jump to conclusions. And what are
the odds that they're actually going to see the cat
doing it again? To help you know, for deem, the

(44:00):
relationship is probably almost dead because of a cat. And
then some of the neighbors were worried that some of
my stilling underwhere there was a pervert in the neighborhood.
This cat all kinds of mayhem in this neighborhood, right, business,
I can't believe you wouldn't trust me? How dare you?

(44:21):
Ray and Lunchbox have this business where they're gonna party
plan and it's called one and it was called Bobby
Bones Blowouts. And we've had listeners call and asked him, Hey,
would you plan my trips to Nashville. Hello, Yes, this

switch off whatever you want to do. Okay, So here
we go. These are the new names I like to
suggest for their party planning business. Lunchbox. First, one part

word in the English dictionary. No, but he's okay, go ahead, Ray,

have you associated with that. Get lit with Bobby Bones friends,
benders with the Bones Crew. Okay, okay, what else? Rage

(45:52):
like an idiot? What's wrong with that? No it's not
rage an idiot? Aren't the opposite into the spectrum? One
more bones? Is m I a party with LB and Ray?
Those are actually pretty good. Okay, I'm gonna reject all those. Yeah,

(46:15):
I don't want my name associated with their business. Your
name is not in any Yeah, okay, let's say I
know Luke Brian. Right, what if I say hey me
and you go floating down the loo Brian, you can't associate.
But I mean legally, it sounds like they're for that

(46:36):
your bones office. Okay, try that legally, Okay, try it,
try it. No, you can't do that in rage like
an idiot. Those are just words in the dictionary. I
like bones. Is m I a come party with lut
Some people would be like, oh wow, your party is
so fantastic. Who planned it? Bones? Is m I a

(46:59):
come party with? It's a little long, but I like it.
Why don't you just caught? No, I don't want my
name involvedon if you're going to talk about in the show,
my name cannot be involved and your name won't be involved.
And I think part of your bones off definitely not involved.
That's just talking about their skillets. I'm getting tweets out
the wazoos. Okay, tweets or one thing like actual bachelor parties,

(47:20):
bachelorette parties, birthday parties. Everybody wants in on this. How
much are you charging to do? What to plan the
whole weekend? However, long and they're coming, we'll set it
all up the weekend whatever. If they're coming for a week,
we'll set up your week I tinperary so you get
the hotel rooms. Hotel rooms will get their dinner reservations there.
So y'all prepay. You put down your credit cards for

(47:42):
all this, like the deposits and whatnot, and they pay
you back. That's our business. Okay, you like you know
that's gonna be part of your responsibility. Yes, okay, okay, okay.
And there's a cancelation for you in our contract and
you have a contract having got an attorney. Did you
get that website? Yeah? It's what is it? I can't
tell you. Okay, there's yeah, Okay, let's know how that goes, Okay,

(48:06):
I will. We have a segment on our show we've
done for probably close to fifteen years, called tell Me
Something Good, and sometimes you guys the callers will call
and share tell Me something Good and Hillary our phone
screeners who talks to you, so she'll bring them into me.
You have one today, I do. Caitlin. She's from North Carolina.
Her mom called in. She's nine years old and her

(48:28):
mom wanted to tell us that um she has a
piggy bank and she put all her birthday money, a
lot of money throughout the year and there, and she
donated all of that to childhood cancer. Wow, what inspired that?
You know? I think listening to the show that tell
me something good segment. She said she listens to the
show and loves what we do and she wanted to
give back, so she donated her birthday money. Caitlin, Caitlin,

(48:50):
I'm telling you when I was nine nineteen, I just
never had that gene at earlier part of my life.
So that's really amazing and sounds like good parenting. And Caitlin,
appreciate you. That's nice. So I'll give you. Appreciate you. Thanks, Hillary,

(49:10):
appreciate the story. Pile of stories. So guys are now
throwing all male spaw parties instead of bachelor parties. What
percentage of guys would you say? Because I don't know
any guys that are doing well about of SPA clienteller
now men and that's gone up in recent years. I'm
gonna do with that. I will go and get a massage,

(49:32):
but I don't know a bunch of guys that are
getting together and going to the spa. Well, you just have.
It's it's a new trend. I'm here to tell you
about it. All the guys listening right now they're trying
to plan their bachelor party, are like, oh, yeah, good idea.
I was just wondering what am I gonna do. Well,
now you can in a spa day. It's going from
one percent to two percent over the last year, the
rising trench. I like going to the spa if I'm

(49:53):
getting massages. Yeah, and these days it spawls. The guys
can get together, get massages, unwind with some beers, even
do a group massage. Manny Petty, that's not having it.
But I'll say this. There's a place even here in town.
It's called I think Whiskey Neat and you go get
a haircut and they give you a razor shaven, you
get a whiskey. That's pretty cool. They don't advertise and
I don't drink whiskey, so that I'm not going that's

(50:15):
like a man. But I saw that it's kind of
a guy experience. Yeah. I just thought that this story
was kind of funny. So I leave people with it
in case they need a conversation. Thing this weekend about
the flight that was carrying eighty five plumbers that was
forced to do a U turn after there was an
issue on board with the toilets. It's funny, ironic. I

(50:37):
never brought it up because I thought you can't go
work on an airplane, even if you're can't an airplane toilet.
We hadn't talked about it, so that's why I was
sitting on and I was like, I'm gonna say it
for the pile in case over the weekend. You don't
never know the party and be like, hey, did you
like carrying eighty five plumbers? It's funny when you tell it,
it's a good one. It's a good one. So I

(50:58):
have I have how to meet people when you're traveling alone,
and Bobby, you travel alone all the time, so I
thought that relaxed. So here's things. If you're looking to
meet people, maybe a girl, whatever, what you gotta do
is you got to be the one offering to take photos.
If someone's just be on the lookout, do you want

(51:20):
me to take that photo for y'all? Maybe it's a
group of girls, Maybe it's a nice family you'd like
to hang out with. What may you're trying to find
a companionship at this point, it's not even love. It's like,
maybe there's just a nice family that it would take
you in. Eat your meal at the bar, because conversations
always get started with people that are hanging out there,
typically alone. And then you could also maybe find a

(51:41):
course in the city that's a cooking class or maybe
a tango lesson, could meet other travelers. Line dancing college
got me, no girls. It was me and now I
was probably nineteen and it was full of non tracial students.
So there's women in the fifties. But now you're a
good line dancer for it. I can have it done
in a while. Yeah. And then well, lastly, and I

(52:03):
know you've done this, you can sign up for group tours.
I've done that by myself. It always you tour with
other couples. Terrible possident lead to you meeting anybody nothing, no,
just couples and I'm awkward, and then you had to
be like, will you take my picture? You know? I
had to do that, and I had to when they
buddy you up because I went snorkeling. I've never been snorkeling. Yeah,
I went snorkling. I was the odd person, so I

(52:23):
had to partner with the instructor. Yeah, but I'd rather
be partner with the instructor. No, you wouldn't, because then
you're the person that take care of it's. It's say,
when you're a kid, you can't get a buddy in class,
so the teachers are buddy. It's it's rough. It made
me feel that way. I'm a heart again because I
was not popular and when I was a kid, I
had to sometimes have the teacher as my partner. Man,
you guys have to do that a lot, like ask

(52:44):
people to take your picture and stuff. I don't that's
gonna be weird. Yeah, it never doesn't. Hey, would you
wanna take a picture by myself doing this really gold thing?
You can say if you take mine, I'll take yours.
Yeah you can't. What else you get? Okay? Well super
Bowl is obviously on Sunday, and I thought this was
a little interesting. What the winners and the losers will
take home. So even if you lose all those players,

(53:06):
they still get paid. You get paid extra because yeah,
on top of what you're doing extra work. No, you
made it to the super Bowl, that's part of your job.
But no, you're doing extra work every week. You get
paid for the playoffs too, more and more as it
goes because you're doing extra work. You're working extra weeks.
Even the losers, well, if you lose your Bowl, you
still got there. I just thought this is crazy because
I mean, even if you lose, you're still gonna get

(53:28):
fifty six dollars. Listen to me, You get paid fifeness
getting to the super Bowl, and then you get paid
more for winning it. It's not losing. Okay, fine, everybody
going to the super Bowl gets fifty six. I like
the way you're saying this. I will adopt this. It's good.
It's more positive. So you get that. However, if you win,
you're going to get a total of a hundred and
two thousand. That's the incentive. That's win one level up.

(53:52):
People in the playoffs got like but to them, some
of these guys that have million dollar contracts and they're like,
it's like a dollar. It isn't, though, and most people
don't have the huge contracts. Just the people that we
see they talk about the most. Tom, and this is Tom,
and Tom toms all the times. Tom Good. Yeah, maybe
that's my pile. Thank you very much. I thought you

(54:13):
did a good job today. That was Amy's pile of
stories everybody transmit America. I'm gonna go over to our
producer Raymond, who's been watching a lot of Lifetime movies recently,

(54:34):
and now producer Raymond reviews a new Lifetime movie. What's
it called? Raymond overexposed about what two thousand eighteen Lifetime movie.
Kids start texting, then people in the town start to die. Wait,
one doesn't equal the other. And what does the title

(54:54):
have to do with any of it? I don't really know.
But there's an investigation, and this is known throughout the
entire movie, so I'm not ruining anything. Who's the last
person you would check in an investigation? Oh, the cop
Even better, the cops daughter, who's one of the teens texting.

(55:18):
Who is the biggest text of everybody. She's cops daughter.
So the whole movie texting leads to death, and the
cops daughter is the center of the investigation. I didn't
ruin anything. You know that from day one? Did you
enjoy it? I did? I did. I ended up giving
it Colonel's of Popcorn. Three out of five? Who would

(55:42):
have overexposed? Who would have ever thought the killer the
cops daughter that it's the beginning of the movie. You
know that that's the entire plot line. The other stuff
is what the secret is. I'm saying in life, who's
the last person you check? Cops daughter? Thank you, Raymond
Ape gotta go appreciate you for listening. Let's just say

(56:12):
thanks to Cassie Ashtam for stopping by. Performed it was awesome.
He's just great. She's amazing. I love her personality and
her voice is unique and I kind of want it. Yeah,
I hear you. Weekend plans, I don't know. I think

(56:34):
my husband we were thinking about trying to take the
kids down to Alabama to the old Space NASA is
something there in Huntsville, but I don't know if we're
gonna end up doing it. That might be a little
Saturday day trip. It's only hour and a half away.
You want to go in Austin today, tonight, tomorrow, then
