attractive when she's next to at least two other women.

It's like if there's a poster of a bunch of cheerleaders,

I watched that documentary and everything care for.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yes? Amy, congratulation.

Speaker 6 (06:55):
Here's a question to.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Hello Bobby Bones. My husband and I recently took a
road trip, and after a long day's drive, we were
getting ready for bed, and he realized he forgot to
pack his toothbrush. He wanted to use my toothbrush, but
I was very grossed out and I made him use
his finger. My question is, Bobby, would you let your
wife use your toothbrush? Was I wrong to make him

(07:25):
use his finger? Signed grossed out wife? I would never
use another person's toothbrush. I would use my finger seven
days a week, morning and night before I would use
anyone else's toothbrush. There is something so intimate about something
going into your teeth and all the food you've eaten
into the same very intimate spots where that has gone

(07:45):
into intimate. Yeah, it gets no more intimate than between
your teeth. Yeah, I think that's the most intimate part
of the body. No, I didn't. I would never use
another person's toothbrush. I would never want another person using mine.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
But he's obviously okay with.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
It, right, And my wife claims to have used mine before.
In a pinch, I would knock it out of her hand.
If she were doing it an hour near, I'd be like,
what are you doing? I've never seen her do it.
I think also she just says it to get under
my skin because I've never seen her do it. I
am on the team of never share a toothbrush, but

(08:24):
I think this is a couple by couple situation. Amy.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, so I think he can use it if he
wants to, that's on him.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
But I'm gonna have to get another one.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Like you can, like if sacrifice our toothbrush, now they
can go to the drug store.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
So she gets to use it first, yes, but what
if it's an electric toothbrush with only one head? Get
a new head easier than done?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Okay, so she gets to use it, and then he
can use it, and then in the morning or whatever,
you get a new one.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
So generally, are you okay with using someone else's toothbrush?
Would you? No?

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I would not either.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
I think that her answer, we wouldn't, Eddie. The other
day I picked up the toothbrush and it was wet,
and I was like, why would that be when I
haven't used it today. My wife's like, oh, I'm so
sorry I had to use it, and I gagged. It
was disgusting. I would never let anyone use my toothbrush
and it was electric. Do it away you push? Okay?
Why not just give it to her? Does she have

(09:20):
the same electric toothbrush she does. Why not just give
her the head that it was. It was contaminated, dude,
But it was contamination. Two people have used it. It's
trash lunchbox.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
You guys are idiots. You have relations with these people,
and you're.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
The most intimate parts of the mouth and you put
your mouth in her mouth. I'm not not as deep
as a toothbrush goes. I mean, I can understand your
My tongue does not go between her teeth. It does
not get into her gums. Are you kidding me? You
don't know your wife and get like on her teeth?
All right? I am so confused by this.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
You share spit when you're making out and doing your thing,
and you're worried about a little toothbrush that has cleaner
on it that cleans those teeth.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
What's clean?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, that's what toothpaste is. It kills the germs.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
There are no it does it?

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Oh my god, that's what it's there for a little bit.
It's not like it's alcohol. It kills nine nine percent.
You can't put it on like a surface.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
All right, Bobby, you make a good point.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Can they use the toothbrush and then you douse it
in alcohol or hydrom peroxide or something.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Possibly or I doubt myself if I realize.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
They've done it, and then is it usable again?

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I need to text my wife like, hello, good morning. Hey,
be honest, have you ever used my toothbrush? Like I
know you said you have, but have you ever used
my toothbrush for real? Like when I'm not looking? All right? Thanks?

Speaker 8 (10:38):
Man?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
This answer could hurt. Yeah, but I think even if
she didn't and she were getting under my skin, she
would say again that she did it just to stay
under my skin. Three of us say no, I think
you're okay to be grossed out. This is a couple
by a couple of situation, obviously, but if both of
you aren't on the same page, you're not on the
same page. No using each other's toothbrush. If one of
you says no, that's so gross, it's so gross. It's

(10:59):
so gross. I'm not used to the toilet paper. If
you're done, right, I mean why not?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Also, what you don't know not true can't hurt you.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
If you don't know that someone has used your toothbrush,
you never know, You never know.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Then you get sick and you don't know how.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
But you said, it can't hurt you. Okay, Okay, got her.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
I'm just saying, we're all again.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I feel about that, and that's how we feel about that.
All right, close it up. I just hurt from my wife.
We were just talking about toothbrushes and if you think
it's gross to use your partner's toothbrush or they to
use yours, right, So she just texted me, and she
had told me before I'm gonna use your toothbrush you're
not around, because she knows I think it's so gross,

(11:46):
and so I sent her a message. I said, hey,
good morning, be honest, you use my toothbrush. She goes
once years ago and it was to clean my ring
because you made me mad.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Oh okay, No, the crevices of a diamond is probably
the inside of her teeth is probably worse to Bobby
than the no.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
Straight dirt dude in the public and all the germs.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
And oh washes her hands, she takes a shower. It's
not like you're doing it with the toothbrush.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're just doing it to get it really shiny.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't have something to say, what it's gross?

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Are you getting a divorce because of that?

Speaker 1 (12:22):
So I will do things like if my wife and
I are in a fight, I won't say anything, but
I will change the background on my phone. It is
usually her, but when we get into a fight, some
may call it passive aggressive, and some others would agree
with it. I change it to an Arkansas raisor like
football helmet. There we go. And so you guys are like,

(12:43):
that's so passive aggressive. What I can't believe you do that?

Speaker 3 (12:47):
That's just stupid.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
What do you think this is? And I'm not even
hating on her for it. That's her doing her version
of that to me. She did it when I wasn't around.
She used it.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Can you say again exactly what she said.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Maybe once years ago to clean my ring because you
made me mad? Okay, it's the same thing. All I'm
saying is she's no better than me when it comes
to stuff like this. And what was she ever going
to tell you? I think she did and I just interpreted.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
She used my toothbrush right in her mouth.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
So it doesn't matter. It does a bit, But all
I'm doing is comparing this to the passive aggressiveness when
you guys got on me for changing the background on
my phone.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
This is that Wow, yeah, you all played dirty and
I are in the same.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Stop putting her on some pedestal.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
We all have the same.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
But yeah, what does that mean?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
I think that you are more immature in uh, emotionally
or in fighting like you've This is stuff you've admitted
to us in here.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I'm mood to here right now. How many times have
you changed the lock screen? Ever? Yeah? Yeah, because she's
only done this once.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Years ago, she said, is a huge interesting question.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I would say three times a year.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Oh, let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
I wonder what you did and did you deserve it?
To have your follow up.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Wonders what I did and did I deserve?

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Because I can see that in the heat of the moment.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
She says, I'm real mad, immature with emotions.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Gosh, And that's not what I said. Basically, it's not
what I said.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
And we're not meant to be married because we're not
the same.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
That's right, Yeah, right, I don't say that.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
The bubbles up. We may get a live response here, okay, okay,
all right, we got three dots. The bubbles up. She's
either thinking or she's writing, Look, could you have.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Done I know, right, but I could see that I
stop saying that, why do you keep going? I could
see that really helping, Like with whatever you're mad at.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Just be like, I'm scrubbing his my diamond with his toothbrush.
I'll show him.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
And then she watched you brush your teeth with it.
I don't know she hed behind the corner and watched
her anything. Let's play a voice, man, I still have
three dots up, so we'll play a voice.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
MAM's lot or thinking how to say it?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, she rightly knows I'm on the air, and I'm
gonna say whatever she says, because usually she doesn't hold back.
All right, give me a voice.

Speaker 9 (15:07):
On number one, I was listening to Eddie contemplating eating
seventy hot dogs in twenty four hours. That's absurd. I
have a proposal. The person in last place in this
year's contest only twenty hot dogs. I think Eddie can
easily put down twenty dogs in ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's not a ten minute deal, it's a twenty four
hour deal. I think that's where people are getting confused
on this. They're like, how can Eddie do it? If
Joey Chestnut barely did it? Next week? I think next
week or the week after two weeks, Eddie will attempt
to eat seventy hot dogs in twenty four hours. I mean,
you could try twenty dogs in ten minutes, but you'll
never be able to do that. Those professional leaders twenty

(15:47):
dogs at ten minutes now, and then you have to
soak it. That's I can't do that. I haven't trained
for that. Well, you have a trained for the other
thing you're doing. No, no, but I do like hot dogs
and up or grab seven hundred dollars. Let's not forget that. Yeah.
All she replied was because I said, this is my wife.
I said, Amy wonders what I did and did I
deserve it? Because she says I'm immature with emotions and

(16:07):
a loser. And my wife replied, yeah, I was definitely
back in those days.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Oh before you had some growth.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
I got three more dots. Guys. Oh it's still coming. Yeah,
like you think you're done in the bathroom, starting to
walk like, oh, wait a minute. If she if she
gives the next ten seconds, I'll read it, let's go.
Oh here we go. I'm sure I've told her. I can't.
I can remind her privately.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I just text her in all caps. I did not
call Bobby a loser. She said, oh no, she goes,
I'm okay if you.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Did, okay, you guys good?

Speaker 3 (16:45):
What is going on?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
And I, my wife and I exactly.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Everybody's good. Everybody's good, just good.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Everybought is good. It's time for the good news. How
much box? There's a woman that went shopping at a
vintage store.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
She's looking, she finds a jacket she loves, tries it on,
It's like, this is perfect, goes up to the counter,
pays four dollars for it, goes homes looking through it
and what's this in the stitching?

Speaker 1 (17:16):
There's a secret pocket.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Let me look in that secret pocket four one hundred dollars,
cold hard cash.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I don't think I would take that back. If it
were four thousand dollars, I would, Oh whoa, if it
were four hundred, I don't think I would.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
So what did she do?

Speaker 1 (17:36):
She kept it?

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Oh, and she put it on Reddit saying look what
I got?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
What a steal?

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I mean, yeah, that's really exciting.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
So they tell me something good that she kept the money.
I thought it was going to be she gave it back,
and see, I feel like that would just be a
lucky day.

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Right, She paid four dollars, and the twenty dollars bills
were all twenty years or older, So I mean it
had been in there for a long time.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I'm dead, Yeah for sure. Yeah. I don't think I'm
taking it back to the shop. I don't think it's
a selfish thing.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
No, no, And I don't even know how you would
even tuck the person down.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I wouldn't. You would just do it to get it
off your conscious, honestly, or you would go, I bought
this jacket, I love it. Does anyone want to tell
me who whose jacket this used to be? And then
even then that's tough because someone just want to free jacket?
Lie right that.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Something like that should weigh on you.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
It should be like started weighing on me. Happened to me?
You guys, see this it's a gift. I ga, guys. Yeah,
I'm going to hell. Thanks just for thinking that, or
I read though, Yeah I know, yes, uh yeah, I
don't think I'll take it back either. So I think
I would just consider that a ten dollar bill in
the pocket, because that is a good day. Huh. Yeah,
it's great, awesome you find like a ten or a
twenty in your pocket. That's the best that ain't happened

(18:41):
to me in ages. I don't know why I'm so
down today.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
I found thirty dollars in my journal the other day.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
How old journal. Yeah, that's a weird place to find, Cat.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
I know that's why it was extra fun.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Why did you put it in there to beginning?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I don't remember. It must have been that.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
I got your book mark. Screwsm doc.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well, I rotate. I have about four or five journals.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Because I think that's the headline. Amy's got five journals
a lot to write about.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
I think that's common for people with ADHD lots of
journals because we always love a new journal. And then
I rotate, and it's like whatever one's nearer than all
journal in that one that day. And I gravel one
the other day and I opened it up and there's
like thirty bucks, like a twenty.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Out of ten, and I was like, what up?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
It must have just been near me and I stuck
it in there and like probably took it up to
my room and was going to do something with it
and then forgot it and actually.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Live Oh no, only imagine, I can only imagine. All right,
good story there, That is what it's all about that
was telling me something good. Fun. Then, when eggos were
invented in nineteen fifty three, they were called frofels, which

(19:49):
stood for frozen waffles. Good name, but people started calling
them eggos because the taste kind of tasted like eggs.
So within two years they just changed the named eggos.
I guess they kind of do taste like eggs, now,
let it think about it. They have the color kind
of of an egg. But I'm sure that taste was

(20:10):
different back then too, back in black and white days.
And it works. It tastes like black and white, right,
And it works with a lego my ego, because you
can't do that with lego. Oh well, they didn't make
up lego my eggo. They didn't try to lego my frothel.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Am me you're up, okay, lego my ego?

Speaker 1 (20:26):
All right.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
So a study showed that octopuses punch other fish just
for fun.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
If you get into like a punching competition with an octopus,
you probably lose. He has eight arms.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, yeah, they use their arms to deliver quick jabs,
leaving unsuspecting fish momentarily stun Scientists believe this behavior could
be a way to assert dominance, express annoyance, or just
for the fun of it.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Octopuses are like fifth grade boys. Yeah, just froging each
other and the shoulder to show.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Dominance and Visu're like, man, where'd that come from?

Speaker 1 (20:56):
There were only twenty five episodes of the original Scooby Doo,
which debut on CBS in nineteen sixty nine, so they
did the whole thing twenty five episodes. They never made
any more until nineteen seventy eight, so nine years from
season one to season two, and since then they've done
reboots and spin offs. But it's the longest ever of
a one to two with the same series.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Lunchbox, when bees find a good food source, how do
they let the other bees know?

Speaker 1 (21:21):
You ask? So they go back to the.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Hive and they do what's called the waggle dance and
they spin in like a semi circle. And how many
times they do it tells you how far away that
plant is?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
That's crazy?

Speaker 9 (21:36):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Go ahead? My going right? Because we're associating it with
an actual dance. It's their method of communication, physical movement,
I know, because they probably don't talk. No, they do
a waggle.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Dance is their version of talking.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, it's like the LAMBARDA.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
I just I don't know. It's fascinating to me.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
They go and they know and they're like, oh, I
need to turn eight times because it's eight clicks away, right.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Like making a certain amount of sounds though, you know. Yeah, cool,
So just communication in general.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Can we celebrate the fact that Lunchbucks brought a normal,
fun fact that's true. It wasn't sexual, It wasn't about you're.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
In the violent Felms. They were a band back in
the day Amy They had a song that was like,
it's called Blister in the Sun. Would you pull that
music downe Ray so I can sing it? It's how's
it go come like a blister? You let me go on?
So Wendy's use their song Blister in the Sun and
an ad in two thousand and seven, and the members

(22:33):
that were still together got in a huge fight about it.
One sued the other because they didn't want in the
ad and they broke up because of that song. Would
let me go on? That was a bad discussion, Yeah,
one of them just wanting to get paid.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
Morgan, So your jaw and teeth could easily bite off.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Your own pinky, but your brain stops you from doing.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
It because it hurts.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, because you don't want to hurt yourself.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Do you know why we feel pain so we don't die?
Mean we could not feel pain. Our nerves protect us
because if we don't feel the pain, we can continue
to push through things and it could kill us. Can
you imagine? I like you do you think that's cool?
We think a bee doing a dance is cool?

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Well, I guess because I've lived that.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I understand pain. I know it. Like I didn't know.
Bees go and then they wiggle and they do a
little turn. I just feel like that's crazy. I know pain.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yes, the stove is hot, hot hot to give me
information so that I don't leave my hand there and
then take away on my skin.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, Like we developed pain to keep us alive longer.
It's pretty cool. Like we picked to have pain. We
only survived because of pain.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
That's also cool. I've just known that for a long time.
I mean, it is a fun fact, but I've lived that.
Like I don't I never knew bees did little dances.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
Bees life.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
If you're thinking up a bug's life and a movie,
there's a b movie in a bug's life.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Both in.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
We didn't know we needed.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
But also if you needed a bite off your pinky
to like live, yes, I could you could?

Speaker 3 (24:08):
You could bypass?

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Like yeah, like.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
Saying I think adrenaline allows you to bypass many things physically.
It gives you extra string, it allows you to fight
through pain. Why do you think people can keep playing
or running when they're a broken leg? Whenever they're running
from something, Adrenaline the same thing that if you thank you?
Wait he switched in like six seconds.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, okay, because yeah, I feel like I saw that
in the TV show or a movie like it is
like buy your pinky off.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I'm gonna shoot you.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
What do you watch one of those sul movies?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, thank you, I'd watch one of them. I had
to watch ten.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Oh that's what it was. I mean, I'm gonna ask
you who are the most famous people in America? Right now?
Straight up? The reason I bring this up is because
Morgan brought in and we did it on the podcast.
She said Josh Dumal was in Minnesota. She saw him.
She was like, it's an a less actor. We debated
a list. I think at one point he was but

(25:01):
we'd give him solid B plus like we didn't get
mad at her for it, but I would say, right now,
probably not a list. So I have the most recognizable,
most famous Americans right now, and here is the criteria.
Globally influential, massive followings, cultural relevance, brand power. So think
household names, not just famous on the Internet. Okay, So okay,

(25:24):
how many can you name? Let's go.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Kim Kardashian at number six, You're still alive. You get three.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Strikes, so the like, gosh, any Kardashian. Let me think,
uh the Rock.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
The Rock is at number four, Taylor Swift number one.
Taylor Swift now again a list celebrities in America. Chad
Michael Murray doesn't make the list a list or last
time we were appreciative that Josh Jumal was elevated from

(26:05):
Chad Michael Murray.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Go ahead, Beyonce, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Too, good jump Taylor Swift one, Beyonce two. The Rock
is at four, so you're still missing three. And again
I'm gonna tell you who's not on the list, just
to make sure we're on the same page. Ronaldo is
not on the list America right, so way more famous
than some of these people, like a messy. But we're
talking America household names.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
Are we going?

Speaker 2 (26:33):
All of these are like either artists or actors or
something else.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Just famous people in America, sousehold names. You hold up
picture on the street, these faces are going to be
recognized more than anybody. Hey, Donald Trump, gotta be right,
he's not on the list. But there's no way he's
not on the list. So I'm gonna go and not
buzz you on that one because I think he's one
of the most famous people in the world. But maybe

(26:58):
because it's a politician. I don't know. But yeah, not
on the list, but no X on that one. I
think they missed that one.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Go ahead, m m Angelina, Julie.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Just one strike, go ahead?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Okay, Tom Hanks.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
You've only got four of them, Okay, fifteen?

Speaker 3 (27:26):
I know.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Still, I guess my expectations for you were so much higher.
Go ahead, But we didn't give you an ext for
Donald Trump because I think that was an easy one
that they missed. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Well, now I feel flustered after I guess Trump, because
I'm like, would everybody know of Like now I'm picturing
holding up signs? What about I guess if Kim Kardashian
was on there.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
What about Kylie Jenner?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Correct? Number ten? So we have Taylor Swift, Beyonce, the Rock,
Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner. Selena Gomez correct at number nine.
She's back on track. Selena Gomez. By the way, a
new season of Only Murders in the Building. What is
this four or five? I don't know. That's a comfort

(28:15):
show for us. Yeah, we don't die to watch it.
We're not just we can't wait for a new episode.
But if there's a couple, we'll watch them both, and
we like them.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Denzel Washington.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Too old, right, you got to think too. We've gotten
a lot older.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
So I really struggle.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
You ended up with one, two, three, four, five, five?
You missed one two, you missed number three? Sports? Where'd
your mind goes? Oh?

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Tom Brady correct?

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, okay, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Tom Brady in the Rock?
Number five in music?

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Justin Bieber.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Justin Bieber did make the list, but he is not
at five. Bieber was at eleven. At five in music,
I think older than Bieber, but hip hop.

list in the last year or so.

Speaker 4 (30:21):

as Jeff Bezos because he's everywhere, that's all. There's every
news cycle you look at, Jeff Bezos.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Is on there. Did not make the top fifteen Eddie
hell Besis isn't on there, then Elon Musk isn't on there,

Not older than Lebron, He's younger.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Shut up, Michael Jordan is younger than.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Which Bobby.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Swanville, Minnesota, population three hundred and twenty eight, graduating high
school isn't it just a milestone. It is a community celebration.
This is from KA R. E eleven. For the past
thirty years, every single high school senior has walked off
the graduation stage with a scholarship. Think about that, every senior.
I don't think they're getting away participation in scholarships. I
think it's just the culture. They make sure that every

(33:32):
kid graduates. Throughout the year, the people of Swanville raise
money for the graduating seniors, bake sales, Bengo Knights, chili cookoffs,
and they have a group called the Swanville Dollars for
scholars It started with one hundred and sixty six dollars
that they would give each student way back in the day.
Now it's like twenty five hundred up to eight thousand
dollars per graduating senior. It's like it's like nil money

(33:54):
for Yeah, you graduate, here's a check. And they raise
money by doing things like I said, being chili cook off.
My class would be bigger than the rest. I'd get less.
I can't already know either, but you know, it's really
awesome what the town does. I graduated with I forget now.
My whole school was six hundred and sixty six kids,

(34:16):
which is funny. Now that's kindergarten through twelfth grade. Oh,
because we were on one hill. Our mascot was the
Red Devils, the Mountain Pine Red Devils. That's not funny.
They put in the newspaper. Our whole school was six
hundred and sixty six kids. You tell me somebody the
newspaper wasn't playing a joke that the red Devil. Was
that the real number though you count? Yeah, I didn't
believe it. But they made us take our mural down.

(34:38):
We had this really cool devil mural because we're the
Red Devils. Dude has the blue Devils. There's they were
like as red, just saying that's awesome. What are you having?

Speaker 3 (34:49):
It's red red Devils scarier than blue devil colors.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Is just light hitting whatever the.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Thing I know that I'm just saying blue doesn't seem
as anyway.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
The newspaper made us take our mural down. It felt
because everyone's like, that's a Satanic school in the mural.
So then it was this real big smiley Devil's We
went to Smiley Devils. We were the Red Devil. Yeah,
the Red Devils.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Yeah, we still are Okay, good lao making change. We
don't do what culture a mountain?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Fine?

Speaker 9 (35:16):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah? I know. But anyway, I thought that town was awesome,
so I wanted to shout them out, small town doing
really cool things for the students. That's what it's all about.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
That was telling me something good, not time for the
Morning Corny, The Morning Corny.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
What's the best thing to say to a slow chef?

Speaker 1 (35:36):

feel like a kid again. So e first time I
throw one on, they make me laugh, and this one
I did laugh out loud because it's a bunch of
animals and they're bad guys. Oh that's what the Bad

Oh no, they're doing bad things, but it's funny. They're animals.
You're watching animals, no animated, animated for fun.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
You know people go to the movies for fun, to
escape reality.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yes, that's it. Yeah, I went to the movies a
couple times. Yeah, I was thinking about going to watch
twenty eight years later, the zombie movie. What number is
that in the three? Right? I hate scary movies. I
love zombie movies, but zombies are kind of scary sometimes. Yeah,
but that's a virus. This one's about a virus, so
we may go watch that one. Is it all jump
scares micro? Now? No, you'll love it. My wife love it. Oh,

(37:33):
I don't know. She need to see twenty eight days
and twenty eight weeks. This one almost stands on its
own because I made her watch Top Gun and she
was like, I haven't I hadn't seen the first one.
She's like, I'll watch it anyway, and then I feel
like she didn't get a lot of the references. But
they do show flashbacks. Yeah. Yeah. But also I only
watched Top Gun like five years ago, and I think
I watched an Airplane and it didn't really so I didn't
even get some of the references either. But Top Gun

(37:55):
I think was held within itself too. Yeah, although I
don't think it was that good. That was pretty good.
I loved it. Your wife like it. That is okay.
I think when you give it like three and a
half out of five. I don't remember the review I
gave it. But yeah, I think it was built up
so much it couldn't have lived up to the hype
because all you guys like it's the greatest movie when
it came out, it was awesome. Yeah, yeah, there we

(38:15):
go on the Bobby Bones Show now. Ellly good to
see you, thanks for coming in, Thanks for having me
so personal story you had the song just went number
one for you, which is awesome. Weren't for the Wind
and songs amazing? And you wrote the song with joy
Beth Taylor and Johnny Clawson. Johnny Clawson was my waiter forever.
I know that, and he was really good and so

(38:37):
when I was touring to a stand up I brought
him up to perform. And so you wrote this with him.
How do you guys know each other? This is awesome.
It's like watching like all my kids grow up.

Speaker 5 (38:49):
So me and Johnny Mett actually in Key West two
years ago, and yeah, we're actually in a relationship for
a little bit, really, yeah, a little bit.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
What's happening.

Speaker 5 (39:01):
We were and now we're not, but we're still really good. Yeah,
not all, but we're still really good friends. And we
wrote this song, me and him and joy Beth wrote
it and yeah, but yeah, we were, we were together
whenever you were doing all that stuff with him, and
it was it was cool to watch you.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
I know, idea and that way. I literally didn't really
ended to no, I didn't know that. Look at you guys,
and and does this feel different because it's just you
on the song? Well, yeah, like it's your number one,
it's just you. Like if anyone's like, wow, it was
a duet, Like now that it's you, do you feel
like more confident?

Speaker 5 (39:35):
I mean, I think it's just a different thing, you know,
I mean whenever, Yeah, I mean the whole do look
like you loved me? I would think was a nominally
in itself. So this song feels a little more like, yeah,
if you can do it again, once is all right,
but if you can do it again, especially second one
being by yourself, it feels a little more. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
What interesting What instrument did you learn first as a kid?

Speaker 5 (39:55):
Guitar? No, piano. I started taking piano lessons young, really young,
and I was so young I was like trying to
learn it by ear and the teacher was getting aggravated
with me, so they told me I was too young,
and then I never went back. And that's like one
of the biggest regrets of my life that.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
You didn't stick with piano. Did your parents put you
in piano?

Speaker 5 (40:12):
My grandma did, and was she a piano player? My
grandpa was, but my grandma group singing in church, So
just always thought it was really important to learn and
still literally one of the biggest regrets. I can only
play a little bit by ear, but guitar, so really
the first one I learned is a guitar.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
What age did you get your first guitar?

Speaker 5 (40:29):
Started playing my grandpa's right after he passed away. I
was like fourteen, thirteen, fourteen? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yeah, When did it become Hey, I think I'm going
to do music in some way? What age?

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Whole life? Oh?

Speaker 1 (40:41):
So you always knew? Are you a kid singer? Like
in church?

Speaker 7 (40:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (40:44):
Saying everywhere all the time. I had a cousin that
worked at the dentist that'd made me get up and
sing after my appointments. You know, I just always wanted
to do it. I always had a passion for it.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
What was kind of the trigger that moved you to Nashville?
Was it when I turned this age or was there
something in your life that just is I have to
do it now.

Speaker 5 (41:01):
I was going to school at Auburn and I was
playing Right out of high school. I found a band
and where I was just playing acoustic bars anywhere that
would let me in covers four hours, I mean literally
all over Alabama, started moving in Florida and Georgia, and
I felt like I kind of reached the point where
I was playing the cover gig scene so much that
all right, I'm getting my chops in playing live, but
I want to learn how to write songs. So two

(41:23):
years into going to school at Auburn, I dropped out
and moved here and lived with three guys, just me
and my dad. Loved that.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
How did you meet these roommates through music?

Speaker 5 (41:35):
All of them? Two of them were artists and the
other one was managing one of the artists. And yeah,
we just all moved from Alabama. I lived in a house.
It was like a frat house for the first two
years I lived here.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
And what did you do to make money that first year?
Did you have adye jobs as well?

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Now that's the only job I've ever had. I've only
done this to make money. I did work at this
weird trampline park once in high school.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
What was your job there?

Speaker 9 (41:57):
Just?

Speaker 5 (41:58):
Yeah, I don't know, getting at my people, I'm pretty sure,
but yeah, no, that's the only way I've ever paid
my bills.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
What cover do you think you've played the most in.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
Your life here for the party. Gretchen Wilson. I've been
playing that song so I was eighteen years old.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Did you do the thing here on Broadway? You just
play covers?

Speaker 5 (42:15):
I think I only did that once to fill and
I filled in for somebody. But it's a different thing.
Broadway here is a much different thing than covers anywhere else.
I don't know why. It's just I think because it's
so saturated with so many people doing it down here
that the base pays a little lower. And so I
was just kind of and I was doing it also
to try to, like I don't know, figure out how

(42:37):
to book different gigs and how to do that outside
of just Nashville. So I would wake up every Monday
and then just message Facebook, message places, and I mean
the amount of dms I've or emails I've gotten back
over the years where it's like, yes, we would love
to have you come play here, And I sent it
in like twenty seventeen or something, it's like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
So you as you go out as an artist and
you're making money just twenty nineteen, so when you moved here,
you said, yeah, twenty nineteen, so are you playing originals
are you like, how are you doing? How are you
playing music? At first, like what do you do?

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (43:11):
It covers and then some originals, and then slowly it's
like kind of changes, you know, whenever. My first tour
tour like as an artist was with Randy Hauser, and
I think I was playing I had to get a
lot of originals for that, but I think I was.
I was still playing a lot more covers just because
you know, people are like, what are these songs? I

(43:32):
had one song out so chill, trying to entertain but
also push myself as an artist. So it's like I
started out with mostly covers and then kind of overtime
would add in originals as I got them.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Does the last couple of years feel crazy or have
you been so in it that it doesn't feel that
crazy because it's just every day now both.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
I think it feels insane all the time. It's like
I was thinking about it over here. I was listening
to What's the Carry and Miranda song.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
If I'm the Good Girl Gone? That is that the
one of the like yeah, yeah, yeah, some of the
girls doing bad stuff.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
I can't something mad something yea, yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
I was listening to that, and I was thinking, like,
there's this little radio outside the pool that I always
went to as a kid, and I just remember listening
and always on country there, and I was like, wow,
like I'm like getting to be the next generation of
what I was watching women do at this time. And
so it feels surreal constantly to like sometimes I think
about stuff like that and be like, whoa, I'm actually
like I'm kind of doing something now, like this is

(44:31):
actually happening. And then also it's my head's so down
that I'm still so focused. I feel like I'm just
getting started that I don't know if I am always
like I get surprised a lot. I guess there's still
like I'm playing headline shows. I'm like, I hope people
show up, you know, and then I walk out there
and it's been slammed every time, so it's just, yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
It's a real I feel like the nuance of an
artist is paid attention to so much now, meaning a
live show, even three to five years ago, you just
go on stage and killing people would record it. But
now they're zooming in on every little thing every artist does.
And that can be used strategically or it can be
accidental where people can read things in Do you feel
that now that you can't do anything without it being

(45:10):
documented and shown because they're looking for anything that you do. Yes,
even if you have like a stink face. Yeah, people
are gonna be like, well, she's just not back you
usually do. Yeah. Well, back in the like three years ago,
you could go and do a live show and that's
kind of where the pressure was off. You could just
perform and not have to worry about like the idiosyncrasies.
But now all of that has to be paid attention

(45:31):
to because it's all recorded all the time.

Speaker 5 (45:33):
Well, I think what's so hard about that too, is
you know, everything's so perfect that you see now like
every picture has been edited, every every song has auto tune,
not only on the vocals but a lot most of
the instruments, you know, and everything's so perfect presented to
you that live music is almost like, oh god, that
sounds like a live vocal, and like people are getting
less and less familiar with what a live vocal sound like.

(45:54):
I mean a lot of artists are still i mean
running tune on a live vocal out front, and that's
something that I'm never going to do. I don't want
to do.

Speaker 1 (46:02):
That, which means they basically have a live auto tune. Yeah. Yeah,
their their voice is being processed and they're being auto
tuned a live yes. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
And like I had an artist to come out to
me last last year something and he was watching my
show and he was like, yeah, he's like, got a
great show. He's like, well, one day when you start
running tune and things on your show. I was like,
I'm not going to do that. He's like, yes, you will.
Everyone does that. You're going to do that. I was like, no,
I'm not. And I think it's just something to be

(46:32):
like just being honest out there, like sometimes I'm going
to forget some lyrics and there's sometimes like my voice
is pitchier than others, I'm out of breath or you know.
But that's just the live show that's coming to a
show where we're we're I'm running around on stage performing
a song, you know, and we're standing still, or I'm
emotional or there's wind or who knows. But this that's
kind of the what's fun about seeing an artist live

(46:53):
is you get the end perfections. You get to see
them as who they are as an artist, not just
here's here's perfect.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Being an artist and touring means there's not as much
time to be here and create and write. Have you
had to be very deliberate about writing or are you
just writing less?

Speaker 5 (47:14):
Very deliberate about writing and writing less. It's hard to
balance because so many hats that you have to wear
to do this, and I think I'm just having to
take advantage of the times that I am able to
write and really be in writing mode. It's hard for
me to do both. When I'm trying to write songs.
I really want to be a songwriter and have all

(47:35):
day to do that and not let me take a
couple hours here and write a song here and then
let me go radio here and then let me go
play a show. That's kind of hard for me. And
I really want to give every aspect of this what
it deserves. So yeah, I mean writing a little bit less.
But at this point I'm not shooting in the dark
as much anymore. So I'm not having to write a
hundred songs to get ten that I like. You know this,

(47:56):
I mean pretty much every song I'm writing. Not every song.
There's a couple I'm like, well, you know what I mean,
not my favorite, But I mean at this point, you
know I'm shooting for I'm not going to finish a
song that I think is poo poo.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
And you kind of have people too that you know
right well with you like a lot of that trial
and error, like you know who's good and you know
who you're good with, and so a lot of those
rooms you get into already with the comfortability as well
if you're writing songs, right, yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (48:22):
Mean I'm writing with people that I know I'm getting
songs with, and there's some new writers and stuff that
I'm bringing in, but you know, with how much I'm touring,
it's hard. I'm struggling trying to get my writers in
that I know that I write well with. So it's
also like I enjoy sitting in a room. I want
to enjoy sitting in there, and at least if we
don't get a song, I like, at least I got
to hang out with a whole bunch of people that

(48:42):
I love.

Speaker 1 (48:43):
So how difficult is it to go from when you're
living in Alabama And you're right, if you're writing songs,
you're doing it by yourself, because there's not really a
songwriting culture unless you come to this culture and you
learn co writing. That's usually like a baptism when people
come to Nashville, like, oh, people write with other people.
How weird is that when you have to first start
writing with other people and like sharing really intimate stuff.

Speaker 5 (49:04):
You know. I think that that's kind of how I
started to learn to write. You know, I wrote some
and I would try to write, but I'm good with
collaborative things like get in my own head a lot,
So for me, it's a little bit easier just to
like have somebody else in the room that's like, oh, yeah,
that line is not weird or it is, you know.
And so I think it's a great way for people

(49:25):
who want to start learning how to write is to
co write. You know, you learn how other people do
it and kind of see their methods. And I've just
learned so much through writing with writers that I respect
and getting to know how they what their process looks like.
But yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Sub conscious though, like that's not so stupid. I always
want to have said that, like.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
Oh, yeah, I mean, but I think that's just what
you have to submit to when you go into write.
I say at least one dumb thing a minute. I'm
pretty sure, like this is me as a human being, because.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
You want to write songs that are personal, but I
mean you have to sit in a room with somebody
you may not know and share very personal things in
order to get to that.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Yeah, they know way too much about me.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's almost with somebody.

Speaker 5 (50:04):
And I can't keep it in like I gotta my right.
My songs are really personal, you know. That's I write
from experience. I've hard time not understanding a story, like
I at least need to like see it in my head.
I kind of write a music video at the same
time I'm writing a song in the way where I'm
like watching a movie. But yeah, it's people have to
understand like where I'm coming from and if I would

(50:26):
say that or the language that I'm using. And it's
a very specific group.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Some of my friends will record a song and they're like, dang,
I wish I wouldn't recorded it in you know, a
certain key because now it's harder to sing live. You know,
they get do you ever do that with honesty and
a song where you're like, man, now that I've written
it and we'd have to go sing it, and now
I have to be asked about it all the time. Yeah,
Like it's not a regret, but it's like this is
going to be a little more difficult because I wrote this,
I mean it, but now I have to go and

(50:51):
like answer questions and sing it publicly. And there's a
whole different element to a song that you probably don't
think about when you're just writing it and recording it,
especially at first.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
Yeah, because writing for me is more of a therapeutic thing.
You know, when I'm in the room, I'm not thinking
necessarily about how I'm going to release a song or
I'm just kind of writing the best song of the
day at that point and trying to write to the
best way we can write that title, the way we're
writing the song, and honesty for me is like I said,
and how I'm going to do it. And so yeah,

(51:21):
after we get done with a song, I'm like, dang,
that kind of hits close to home, or some songs
will kind of hit close to home, and then something
happens later on where I relate to it so much
more after I wrote it, Like that's happened a lot
to me where I'm like, this song is good, and
I'm afraid that I'm going to relate to it that's
so at some point and always I always do. By
the time I put.

Speaker 3 (51:39):
It out, I'm like, oh, like manifest in.

Speaker 5 (51:42):
Manifests somehow for me. And I've talked to some other
artists that say the same thing, and Girlier taking Home
was one that was in the moment, I mean afterwards,
that song is so personal and it's one that is
always an interesting one for me to sing. But what
is so cool about that is with being honest in

(52:05):
that way. I think that's what's relatable to fans. It's
not there's no fluff, there's no like let me figure
out how to make me look at a certain light
in this song or in this way where it's just
like no, I'm just gonna write it how it happened
and what it is. And I think that it goes
to show that humans are a little more alike than
we like to think.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
What do your parents think of your success?

Speaker 5 (52:28):
They're just they're so excited. I think they're baffled all
the time. Like I said, this is the only thing
I've ever wanted to do. It's the only thing I've
talked about every wanting to do. They've known that. I
think my dad's always been a little more like once
it's thing's gonna start working out kind of vibes. But
still like they've always just believed in me and pushed me,
and so now for them to like come to shows
and to see what's happening, and to get to go

(52:50):
home and you know, treat them to things and start
taking care of my family in that way, I think
they're just always baffled, and we come from a very small,
humble town.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Well to my next question, what's been the best part
about the success and even like what's the best part
about fame?

Speaker 5 (53:05):
I don't know the best part about fame yet. I
think I'm still figuring that out. I think what's coolet
is to have a voice, and so the things that
I care about and do want to talk about at
least have an audience to listen, you know. And then
also the same thing with releasing music, you know, people
are there listening, and but also getting to take care
of my friends and family in that way.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
And best part about fame when I got a bit
of it doing TV with all the free clothes.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
Yeah, It's funny how when you start making a little money,
people give you free to free Yeah, because then you're
like so poor, and if you were like nah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
When I was broll, nobody gave me crap. Whenever I
had money and started to do well, it was like,
have all these brand name clothes and keep them. So
I just gave theed all my friends, I mean Eddie
Worth all this stuff all the time. That to me
was like my favorite part about having success was Obama
Mama trailer and two acres of land and then I
got free clothes.

Speaker 5 (53:55):
Yeah. Yeah, my dad, there's this he just sucks out
of all all the little things. He's starting to dream
about stuff now and he's like, what about this tractor?
And I'm like, hey now, and I don't get too excited,
you know, but his Christmas list get all about is
very long. He's like, wow, okay, I can retire.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Who will you call if you need device?

Speaker 5 (54:18):
Depends on the situation.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
What if it's about that, uh, the next direction of
the next album? An artist? Who would you call?

Speaker 5 (54:26):
Miranda Lambert?

Speaker 1 (54:29):
And why Miranda?

Speaker 5 (54:31):
Because she has a pretty good insight on what this
next record is. And I mean, come on, it's Miranda Lambert.
What she's done with her career, kept it going, continuously,
keeps it going. The songs are always there every one
of her records, hit after hit, ever hit. I mean,
proof is in the pudding really.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
And even when she did more of an independent thing
and it wasn't like a traditional radio hits like, the
songs were next level good.

Speaker 8 (54:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (54:59):
I think she's just alway done what she's wanted to do.

Speaker 1 (55:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
I think that she's unapologetically herself and she she just
does what in her goat is the right thing to do.
She does right by people, and that's all I'm trying
to do. It's just you know, at the end of
the day, even if with the decision that I made
didn't go the way that I wanted to, at least
I did it in the way that I thought was right.

Speaker 9 (55:20):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
It's been cool too to see kind of your influence
because we had Caitlin Butts in and she's awesome and
a lot of people were introduced to her from your TikTok.
But now you have the ability to shine lights on people.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
Yeah, that's another cool part about fame, that is, I
will say that. Yeah, that's been really.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Cool being able to see people that move you and
get your audience to pay attention to them.

Speaker 5 (55:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah, that's super cool. Yeah, she's awesome.

Speaker 5 (55:46):
No, there's so many girls that she.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Shouted you out too. When she was in here, she
was like, if it wasn't for all I watched that.

Speaker 5 (55:51):
Yeah, she she will and she texted me that and
I said, you're the one that wrote the song. That's
your song. All I did was one video that has
nothing to do. I mean it was because of the
whole other thing, but obviously that song is like, it's
great and she's great, and that's why that moment happened. Yeah,
but it is really cool to be able to bring
these women on tour with me and give other people

(56:11):
the opportunity that I was. I've been given and continue
to get given.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Amy anything for allah.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
Yeah, I'm want to circle back to something you said,
just for clarity on so you said, do you used
to Facebook message or email like all these bars back
in the day, like I'll come play there were you
saying that emails you sent or dms you sent back
in twenty seventeen, Like now that you've had success, they're
finally replying to you.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Now.

Speaker 5 (56:37):
I don't try to go in my dms now. Yeah,
I try to say out there as much as I can,
but mainly like a couple of years ago. But yeah, probably.
I mean, if I went in there look at some
of the emails now, maybe.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
They're very Yeah, okay, I thought that's what you're saying
that like you heard from some of them. It's like,
oh that's interesting. They're like, oh my gosh, this ella
lamely girl that reached out to us.

Speaker 9 (56:55):
Year.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
Yeah, well, over the years, like back when I was
living in Alabama when I would send those messages, and
then when I moved here, like when I started to tour,
and like a little bit started to happen, you know,
they finally they finally were like, hey, you want to
come play this bar? And then a year two, yes,
actually I do.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
When you're at Auburn, like your parents were they okay
with you leaving college halfway through.

Speaker 5 (57:16):
They didn't have much of a choice. They should know
that with me. But like I said, my dad when
I was like, I'm moving with three guys and I'm
gonna do this, and he was like what what are
you going to do? But my mom was absolutely she
helped me move. Oh yeah, no, they've they've always believed
that this is what I was supposed to do. They've
just never questioned it, even though my dad's like, hey,

(57:38):
miss you, you love me. Come on every once in
a while, like come to a show and see me dad.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Yeah, did your dad call you after the tattoo? On Instagram?

Speaker 5 (57:45):
Which one?

Speaker 1 (57:46):
Did any of them? Did you ever see any?

Speaker 5 (57:48):
And yes, it's mad about every one of them because that's.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
Where he would see probably them, most would be Instagram
because he's not seeing you a lot. You live in
different city.

Speaker 5 (57:55):
Yeah. What's funny too, is my dad seeing the drama
stuff on Facebook and stuff, you know, like anything really
him was He's like, come on, this ain't I'm like, Dad,
you know that that's not true. Stop reading Facebook comments? Please, God,
can you stop reading He's like, oh, all right, I
just don't know what to do. But yeah, he calls me,
calls me about he's given up, I think on the
tattoo thing.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Just let let you go.

Speaker 3 (58:18):
He's going to get attractor.

Speaker 5 (58:19):
Yeah, he's going to get attractor.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
What was the first one you ever you ever showed him?
Did you ever hid hide any from him?

Speaker 5 (58:24):
No? No, I'm not a good liar. I'm a terrible liar.
And I knew that he was going to find it. Anyways,
the first one was this little Trouble Cleth.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
I couldn't even read music, so I had to like
look up what this was when I got it. But
I was like music, don't get that. And I think
I got it like three three months out of high
school and I got home, went home for Thanksgiving and
me and my dad were having a great day. We
went to church. I was wearing a long sleeve. I
remember it was kind of cold outside and he took me.
We were riding down his dirt road. He was showing

(58:55):
me like when my grandparents, grandparents used to live something
in one of those kind of days, and he was
it slipped down and he saw it and that was bad.
I just started laughing. I didn't know what to do.
Like I think I thought maybe at eighteen years old,
he was gonna give me a whooping.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Did they call you Ella as a kid? Yeah, it
was Ella, always your name because I'm assuming that's short
for something Elizabeth got it, but it was always Ella. Yeah,
that's awesome. Well, final question, I don't even need a
real answer here, but when you say he would see
like the drama stuff online, like what's the percentage of
that was true, just give me a number.

Speaker 5 (59:30):
Ten at the very least, I mean the very most.

Speaker 1 (59:33):
I mean I think that a lot of fan fiction.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
Yeah, I mean, come yeah, I mean I think the
people get more worked up than we do.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
I agree, Yeah, I agree. All right, Ella, congratulations on
the number one, second one. Yeah, I hope you're super
proud of it. You're still out with Morgan, You're doing

So you know what this.

Speaker 6 (01:01:39):
Is the Bobby Ball.

Speaker 1 (01:01:42):
Bobby Bone Show. Sorry up today.

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
This story comes us from Palm Coast, Florida. A thirty
one year old man walked into Low's Home improvement store
and started stealing some items fifteen hundred dollars worth of merchandise.
He runs out of the story. It's like, how am
I going to get away? He sees the UPS truck
driving out of the parking.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Lot, so he jumps on the back mark.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
The only problem is then someone driving down the road
sees a guy in the back of a UPS truck
calls the police. That's how he gets busted.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
I don't know if i'd call the police on that.
I don't either. I'd be like, Dad's funny, Yeah right,
I'd probably just ticktock it. I'd be like, UPS is
really going like quickly delivered the trash man. You got
one guy ride in the back pick up. Yeah, it's good,
all right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
I'm lunchbox at your bonehead story of the day, Lunchbucks.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
Why are you wanting to call the cops? What's happening
up here in the building.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Well, someone is breaking the lawn. I've seen it happen twice.
There's a dude on a motorcycle that he pulls up to,
you know, the little gate, the arm and then he
just drives around it. He just goes around the gate.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
So he's not paying like the three bucks to park
in the garage, right, and you're gonna call the cops
over three dollars?

Speaker 4 (01:02:48):
Well, I mean, listen, guys, I'm all about justice and
you know, people being responsible Americans, and this dude is
literally skirting the system. He pulls up and then he
goes real slow around the right side and then he
drives off and he parks his motorcycle and gets off.

Speaker 1 (01:03:03):
And I'm like, how is he getting away with this?
How long has he been doing this?

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
He could be scamming this building out of millions of
dollars if he does this every day for seven hours
a day, seven hours a day, if he's at work,
or if he's so every.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Day, if he does it every day like once a day, right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:20):
So that's a lot of money. And I'm just like,
am I cool with that? Or do I just give
him props for finding a you know, trick?

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
If you found a trick, I think you would use
the trick. I think you're jealous that someone is getting
away with something, not that you want to get away
with it, but I think someone getting away with something
and you not getting to get away with something bothers
you does a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
Like I like to be the one that gets away
with things. But I just and it has a paper
license plate, so I'm like, I wonder if that's even
real or does he do that? Just in case there's cameras,
they don't know who he is, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
What, I'm on team, call the cops. Really yeah, I
think I want Lunchbox to call the cops and tell
them your story. Officer, there's this guy and he's going
around the arm nine to one one or just regular
line one, scream it, Oh my gosh, it's an emergency.

Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
Well maybe he's going around the arm to leave no trace,
like if he's plays murdering people in the building, could
be okay.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Yeah, no, this is this is absolutely ridiculous. I would
not call the cops. Who cares?

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):
Why do you do you think I should go to
building security?

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
Why do you want to get him in trouble?

Speaker 4 (01:04:22):
I just want him to understand that, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Like everybody, you confront me, boy, yeah, yeah, yeah, if
you see him doing it, why don't you hawk you on?

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
Hey, buddy, hold on, it's not my building.

Speaker 1 (01:04:32):
But justice?

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Do you like to see justice in America?

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
And we are in America?

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
And I just worry that if I do confront him,
I would be late for work.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
No, you know what, you have a pass. If for
some reason you get beat up, all good comes in, Bloody,
it's all good. Yeah, please say something to him. We
would love Okay, but I've seen him do it twice,
So you see him again. You're gonna say something.

Speaker 4 (01:04:52):
I'll say something.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Who believes it? Not me? Amy? Do you believe him?

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:04:56):
Okay, what do you mean you're not gonna do I'm
not gonna say anything. You are all hat no cattle,
as they say.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Never heard that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
I'll bark, no bite. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of what
your mo is. I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:09):
You know a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
You talk about it, you don't be about it. Yeah,
I walk the wall now, you talk about it, you
don't be about it. Good Bye, everybody, Mister Bobby Bones.
