Speaker 1 (00:03):
Transla. Welcome to Thursday Show Morning Studio, Morning Amy. You
watch Stranger Things the new season? No, but my daughter
did massive. I don't watch it. I like season one
and even season two, but for some reason, I just
(00:23):
stopped watching it. I'm not even a hater. I kind
of wish I'd hung in there. But now there's so
many other shows. I don't want to get involved in
this one. But the big story is there's a song
called Running Up That Hill that's an old song and
the artist has made so much money off of it.
(00:44):
So it's Kate Bush and it's played from back in
the day because the Stranger Things a set back in
the eighties. So because this song is massive again, she's
made so much money, like millions of dollars in Yeah.
So it's a really cool story. And so if you
go back though, here's the question for you guys. And
so I don't want to do us boiler here, but
the character on the show is fifteen years old. This
(01:04):
song is on it's a favorite song. What about us here?
What are your favorite song when you're fifteen years old?
Can you go back to that year? Because I have mine.
I'll give you second think about it. So I was
fifteen in nineteen ninety five, and I was kind of
in that weird stage of kind of alternative in country
at the same time. And so clay Walker and love
(01:24):
clay Walker. But this Woman and This Man nineteen yeah, Jam,
you forget how much you love this song until it
comes on and I sing this one really good in
the shower, right on my right in the vocal range.
So this is nineteen ninety five. My other two are
I was a massive Hoodie and the Blowfish fan hold
my hand, oh come oh yeah, like their first Monster song,
(01:52):
Knew every Word, in Love with Hoodie, Still in Love
with Hoodie, and Love with Darius, Kiss Him on the
Lift right now, Love Hoodie so much, played that cracked
review records so many times the tape, like the song titles,
We're starting to fade out because I just flipped on
the actual tap. It's awesome. So this and then Cheryl
Crowe is strong enough tues and Night Music Club, this
(02:15):
record that it was on album, it's amazing. I still
think it's amazing. So nineteen ninety five for me, those
are those songs Namy, I've give Me a Whole Time
here nineteen ninety five for you, what do you get? Well?
So in ninety six I was fifteen, Okay, oh that's true. Yeah,
Oh change everyone. You're younger than you, so I should
be a mensa. I was either listening to Tubac or
(02:39):
George Straight and so I gotta go with Carried Away?
Did Carried Away? Bom fifteen years old? Carried Away Eddie?
Oh man, this is a big year for me. It
was nineteen ninety four. This is when I discovered my
favorite band of all time, Pearl Jam, because I didn't
know the earlier stuff. But when Betterman came on the radio,
(03:00):
like I love this band. The song was so good. Yeah,
I did Better Man for me in Color She Dreams
and Red Can't Find And at first I thought it
was Butterman. I'm like, oh, I gotta find that Butterman song.
And I would go to the record store or the
music store at the mall and be like, can I
find the Butterman? They're like, what are you talking about? What?
We finally got to it's better Man? Oh it's easy
(03:23):
Coolio Gangster's Paradise. This song was awesome. What was that movie?
Dan Dangerous Mind? And I went and saw the night
it came out with Kathleen Lauren Forrest and then we
were just like, wow, that song is so deep. You
and Katherine Moore have Athane or what now? Kathleen what?
She was prom queen and I was prom king. But
we went to the Great Hills Theater. It's a good time.
(03:44):
Why do you sound creepy even that? He's like, no,
there was no thing, but is it good time? Let's
go over and open up the mail bag. You read
it all year. Get something we call Bobby? Yeah, hello,
Bobby Bones. I've always tried to be a supportive wife
(04:06):
of my husband's first love, golf. He plays every other
Sunday from May to September, along with three week end
trips in between. This year's a little different, as we
have a three year old and I'm currently very pregnant
do August first. He has a weekend trip coming up
in the middle of July with his brother, which I've
known about since April, and I've agreed to let him
go as at last hurrah before the baby. The problem
(04:29):
is now that my sister and brother in law have
decided to come home that same weekend to have their daughters,
my god daughters, baptized. I asked him to come home
just one day early to be here for the church service,
and he says, I'm making him feel like my sister
is more important than his brother. I know my family
will complain about him essentially choosing golf over his niece's
(04:49):
wife's god daughter's baptism. I see both sides. I'm not
sure how hard to push on this signed semi supportive
golf wife. I don't see his side. Don't see his side.
There's no side of has to see. He can do
fifty million golf trips the rest of his life. How
many times does family come in and get baptized? That's
a deal, listen. I love golf, love it, but it's
(05:11):
not like it's a once in a lifetime trip to
go play. Augusta. He's going with his brother to Hilton
Head Public MUNI. I don't know where he's going. But
if you have family coming into town and a family
member is getting baptized and you've asked him to come
home one day early, he needs to put his big
boy pants on and come home one day early and
(05:32):
be at this. I think it's a different conversation. I
don't know how different, but it's a different conversation. If
it's like his dying grandfather and they're playing golf one
final time, or they've been they're going out to California,
they're gonna play Pebble Beach, and then got to do
that forever. And even then, you can do that anytime,
do it next year. I hate having to stick up
(05:57):
for her in the situation because you love golf. Yeah,
because somehow get to clip play it back from meat
your word. But some things are just bigger than golf.
A day playing golf or a trip with your brother
playing golf. You can do that anytime. And also, why
are you gone in mid Jule life your wife's pregnan
August first, don't even do that aside from the baptism,
don't even do that, y'all go back in the email
a little bit. Just sit this one out, buddy. I
(06:20):
know you love golf, play at home, lunchbox him when
your wife was really pregnant. Yeah, well you went to
No no, no no, no no, we'll just follow me here.
You went to Vegas. Yeah, we had a dachelor party,
three day bender, last hurrah, last hurrah with the boys,
I mean, drank a ton. Got home next day, she
went in labor, next day, next day, if it's close,
(06:40):
if you're a couple of weeks out, you shouldn't be
leaving play golf with your brother at home for a
couple of days. On this third day. You need to
go to this baptism. That's what I'm saying. You can disagree,
I Lunchbox shaking his head. Yes, I disagree. He had
something planned before the baptism was planned, so they knew.
I'm not even it's a double whammy. It's herbian pregnant
(07:00):
and almost baby time and the baptism. Right, he doesn't
even be gone anyway, the baptism, it's not a big deal.
It's not a big deal to be at the baptism.
Memories with your brother is more important than seeing some
niece or nephew get baptized. That whatever. There's gonna be
fifty people there, and no one's gonna remember who was
there and who was not there. Go make memories with
your brother. Your wife gave your permission. You gave him
(07:20):
permission a long time ago. Your sisters should have planned
the baptism another day. I'm team husband. Yeah, I'm not.
Because if I could listen to that, if it was
just a baptism, and she wasn't pregnant, about to have
a baby in two weeks. And luckily here she's got
family around her. She goes into labor, she got a
lot of helpers. Oh she needs to have him there,
just like you probably shouldn't have gone on that trip too,
and you know that there's a good trip. Man. Yeah,
(07:41):
but you got back and you're still a little drunk
and you still had to go. Dude, I was falling
asleep during the labor. Yeah. So I'm with you, semi
support of golf wife. You tell your husband he's not
gonna like it, but he doesn't need to go. You
could go into labor at any point. Play golf at home.
You'll let him do that. Heck, go to the baptism
and play golf in the evening day three, play after
(08:01):
the baptism, get your game in. Just have your brother
comes down. That's where it is. I do not I'm
not bending on this one. This is an easy one. Um.
You might have a kid early and he stays on four.
It's on some weird hole somewhere on an island green
and you got a second kid coming in. All right,
I'm on team semi supportive golf wife. Tell him to
come home. If you need to talk to me, I'm
giving me a call. Right, all right, that's the mailbag.
(08:23):
Thank you, we've got your tea. Now here's a voicemail
from Tina and Indiana, who we're gonna hear from Abbey
later because she performed last night at the airport. But
Lunchbox was just giving her the business. And he's like,
I can't believe you're gonna go perform. You ain't making
(08:45):
any money. You ain't that good of a singer. Just
giving her the business. That's what airport singers are. Not
that good. That's the good thing about him. So here
is a voicemail from Tina and Indiana. Go ahead, at
least what she loves to do, whether it be twenty
five dollars or fifty dollars or I whatever she sings,
at least say you have to actually pay to be
(09:06):
on the zoom class was for acting. I'm pretty sure
it's not real, but anyway, good luck Abby. Nice call
got him like our callers will come back hard and strong.
Go ahead, What do you mean? Yes, it's called taking lessons.
I mean Abby should take singing lessons. She should probably
pay for those to help her singing. Hey, Abby, have
you ever taken a singing lesson at all? Oh? Man?
(09:28):
When I was a kid, I did. Yeah. Oh see,
there you go. But she did take lessons exactly, and
now she's turned that into actually making money. What you
haven't done? Okay, great, come back, all right, thank you? Hey? Abby?
By the way, has she thought about taking more lessons?
I've thought about it. Actually, I can always improve. Absolutely
have friends that are UM artists signed to labels and
(09:50):
they still take singing lessons exactly. No shame, Well, lady, well,
you're shaming me for taking acting lessons. Tom Hanks takes
acting lessons. I don't know that that's true. I probably
did a long time ago. I can't lay. You're the
one that started this beef. She's saying. Abby is now
making money doing what she loves while you're still paying
in okay, um, Speaking of Abbey, Eddie and Scuba Steve
have convinced Abby to go on vacation by herself. Yeah, Abbey,
(10:13):
is that true? They did? It was that conversation like, well,
and we talk after the show, and Abby was like,
you know, I just don't think I'm gonna do anything
for vacation, I mean Scooba, were like, what are you
talking about? So we started talking about Cute West and
she goes where Key West que West and she goes,
I've never been there before, dude. We talked it up
over and over and she goes. At the end of
(10:33):
our conversation, she was on the computer booking a flight.
You booked a flight. You're going to Qute West. M
let's go. I've never been, so I can't say, you
know good or not? What are you gonna do? Explore
everything I'm I've been online looking at everything I booked,
like a cruise deal, like a on a catamaran. Let's go.
(10:54):
I've done vacation by myself before. And how was it? Oh? Boy,
well I did it because I went to work right,
I was finishing one of my books, and I thought, well,
if I go far away to a place I don't
know anybody all right here, and then in the day
I'll go in vacate. So when I did, and I'd
be like, hey, we took a picture of me to
somebody to be like yeah, sure, no, no, just me,
(11:17):
oh yeah, eventually yeah, it's in. Eventually You're like, I mean,
by myself I'll just stay in my room and watch
TV and work. But I love that you're able to
kind of stretch yourself out a little bit and go
do it. I think you'll probably have more fun than
I did. I'm a bit more neurotic than you are.
I can't believe I did that. I'm very easily convinced.
And they were just like, oh, you should do it.
I'm like, okay, so you're gonna how many days? Five?
(11:43):
I'm a little surprised it's five, but that's okay, we
can do this. Wow, you can do it. Yeah. I
think actually it could be very free Max. Wow. See
the way I look at it, it's like I haven't
gone on a vacation by myself in fourteen years. I've
had four kids, like married, and so vacation for me
is like, what do you guys want to do? What
do you want to do? And then we decide, all right,
(12:03):
we'll go do this. You go by yourself. You're like,
what do I feel like doing today? Nothing? Dream because
your experience, she can do that already right now. And
who can she talk to? Nobody? She wants to find
a family to go west. I do not need to
talk to anybody, Abby, It's gonna be cool. Uh huh.
But that's what I said. When he said that to me,
I was like, but my dreams to go with someone,
so you switch, she goes to your family, Eddie west
(12:27):
by yourself, Aby, gonna be good. It'd be a growth,
a time of growth for you. Wow. Okay, Wow, how's
our bangings so fire? For the next mor we'll get
the Abbey on Abby and her band and they played
at the airport last night. Coming up in a little bit,
let's take a call from Olivia in Fort Campbell, Tennessee. Olivia,

curious why you left Matt Kearney off your Mount Rushmore
list of songs. You're absolutely right, and I'm an idiot,
and again thankful to the callers. What I was doing
was I was listing and this is just kind of
off the top of my head. Caitlyn and I is
Mount Rushmore of songs through our our time together, from
meeting and dating and getting married and even now. And
I left Matt Carney off, who we went to a
(13:10):
Matt Carney show and when he played this song right here,
that's when Caitlyn said, she knew she loved me when
the song was playing what is it? And so? And
then he played at our engagement when I proposed, And

five thousand Home Depot associates and veteran or military spouses

for the good News by Manda. Paul flew over four
(14:57):
thousand miles from Orlando to get married buried on an
island in Scotland. It sounds fancy, but they had been
playing in its dream wedding for over two years, so
their dreams started to crumble A little bit after their
plane was diverted to Philadelphia, a detour that led to
three days of delays. Man, that's a lot of delay.
I've been delayed never three days. But with the airports
(15:18):
right now in pilots canceling and sick, and so they
were stuck in all these airports. So they finally get
to this island eleven pm the night before their wedding.
They're gonna get their four days ahead, but eleven pm
the night before their wedding, their luggage didn't make it.
Luggage is weird because you get shipped all over. They
got to get that luggage. And I'll tell you, whenever
I've been moved, I've never got my luggage at the
right time. So they get there, they don't have any luggage.
(15:41):
So they were like, well, I guess we have to
cancel and then we're gonna call the whole wedding off,
until their wedding photographer said, hey, hold on a minute,
and we don't photgrapher who lived in the town went
and said, hey, do you guys have some clothes? Do
you guys have this? This? This gathered everything they needed.
That morning they showed up with everything clothes, cameras everything,
(16:03):
and so they had from the wedding dress all the
way to a kilt set. Wow, people towhere and one
of her friends even came and did makeup the photographer
and they had the wedding and then they went to
somebody's house for dinner that also said, Hey, you can
have our house. That's so cool. That's pretty cool. It
wasn't even like a neighborhood that knew her, right, some
of these stories like the neighborhood comes together to raise
(16:24):
rent for someone who they were just heading over for
a wedding and everybody came together and helped. It's an
awesome story. That is what it's all about. That was
tell me something good. So, according to scientists that have
studied many brains over many years, there's a rundown of
the ages that you max out at certain things. You
can still do them now, but if you wanted to
(16:46):
learn this or try this, they have the age where
you peak learning a new language. Do you know any
other languages? Spanish? I took eight years in school, but
do you know just a little bit of it? Yeah?
So when did you feel like you're really nailing the Spanish?
What age? Oh? Probably seventh grade, thirteen, maybe some college. Yeah,
(17:12):
learning a new language your best at that at age seven. Oh.
I tried at twenty five to learn Spanish and I
did Rosetta Stone and I was I'm Adeo and I
was doing it all. I was like seeing it and
you know, doing the sitch. And then I realized all
my friends were Hispanic or Mexicans, So I just need
to hang out with them more. And that's what I did,
and that's where I learned more. It was just being
around them. Yeah, immersion M I mean yeah, like sort
(17:34):
of immersion and listen to you now we were still
in Texas. Yeah, yeah, listen, that's why. I mean my
dad grew up in South Texas and he was literally fluent,
like could have full blown conversations in English or Spanish. Yeah.
I did like season two of that thing, and I
was like, I'm out, I'm tapped. I can't do anymore.
The next attractiveness, When do you feel that you were
(17:55):
your best looking? Were? M? What age? Okay, couldn't hmm,
probably twenty twenty five. But that's my guest for this.
I'm asking you out. I'm I like where I'm going
inside and out with it but that's not what we're
(18:16):
talking about inside, and we're not talking about inside. You're
gonna stay with forty Okay, okay, Eddie, you come on, dude,
twenty one, twenty two like not now, absolutely not. This
is the worst I've ever been, I would say twenty five. Okay,
(18:37):
what about you right now? Well, here's the situation here.
I feel like I'm in as good as shape, really
as I've ever been in. I'm lucky that I have
all my hair, yes you are. And I'm lucky that
I wear big dark glasses because any eye aging, you
don't see it covers it all up, any sort of
(18:57):
like the low wrinkles in the side of the eyes.
I have great vision. I've been lying to you you guys
for years. There's wanted to hide it all. Okay, Um,
I don't know, probably thirty three or thirty four. I
feel good now, like a close second. But twenty three
years old is when your metabolism is functioning the best.
You're in your best shape. So most attractives at twenty
three finding a partner for marriage. What do you think
(19:20):
the best age to do that is thirty? Yeah, I'd
say late thirties. I'd say thirty seven. That else I
got older. I was very thankful that's right, that I
didn't do something stupid to get married before, because I
never even liked anybody. But I could have been like,
oh that's where I come from amber to gets married quick.
(19:42):
I'm not saying that it's bad to wait till that
age or not be married at that age at all.
It's just I feel like, for this study that will
be late twenty six, it's finding a partner for marriage.
This when your career is settled. No, it's not settled.
Never go no way, and you're starting to have a
little money saved up. Nope again. Twenty six broke running
(20:02):
a marathon. When did you run your marathon? I was
twenty twenty twenty Okay, um, maybe ever run a marathon
and I would say that was pretty rough on my body.
So running a marathon when your bones are strongest and
your endurances that it's best as age twenty eight. And
if you look at the runners along dist runners, they're older,
they are older. Yeah, they're older remembering faces oh, eighteen
(20:29):
thirty two because you know you put some time in,
but also thirty two is when your memory starts to
slightly start declining, so peaking at thirty two? On faces,
I was watching a story about a guy who has
a disease where he can't remember face. He doesn't know
the difference in faces. Wow. He can see it and
lock in and have it then, but as soon as
it looks somewhere else that comes back he don't remember
that facey. I wonder if you have like a sense
(20:49):
of like remembering voices in super Yeah, you're like a
badass sonar Ye can't you remember? That's what it is.
It's all voice texture, vocabulary. When you'll know the most
about your particular language, like when you have the most words,
you say the most words forty oh fifty. So you're
not there yet, so I'm asking you would have to learn. Ye,
(21:10):
I'm not keep learning. This is one where I'm like,
what do you think it will be? The older the better?
Sixty yeah, seventy one? Wow. And then psychological well being
when you're the most content and satisfied, where do you
peak at that one? Oh my gosh, probably right before
you die? Right? Eighty two? Yeah? I to say sixty.
It's eighty two, and that's higher than the average lifespan
(21:31):
in America. Yeah, seventy eight and a half. I guess
you just had at seventy nine. You're just like, how's money? Baby,
let's go Eddie? How out? Speaking of that, I just
felt a little something from you there. How is it
going with therapy on Better Help? Good Man? So not
a commarshal, hey, not a commercial commarhal, But we've done
multiple sessions and now I brought my wife into it.
How cool is that? Your own? We were just having
(21:54):
conversations and my therapist says, hey, would your wife want
to join? You know a couple of these sessions. I said,
I'll ask her, we'll see. She did, and now she's
been joining me. She's gone on two of them with me.
That's cool. So she gets on his phone. It's therapy
on your phone. Yeah, we have a code Mike because
this is not a commercial. So I don't know what
to tell our listeners. But betterhelp dot com is where
you go. I think maybe slash bones if you want
(22:14):
like ten percent off, it's usually what it is. But yeah,
it's great because you can set it up. You do
do it on your phone. You don't have to video
if you don't want to, you can. But even my
therapist because I have therapy later today. He gives me
the action. If you want to bring your wife in
for some of the stuff, you can, right, I never
do Do you even ask your wife or do you
just say oh, do you ask your wife if she
wants to do it, or do you just say, Nash,
(22:35):
you probably won't do it. Yeah, I was like that.
I was like that too, Like he never wants to
see you. What did you say, Ray Mayer? Yeah, slash
Bones then ten percent off first month guys, Betterhelp dot
Com slash Bones. You like it? Yeah? Man, I love it. Yeah.
I mean we're still gonna keep doing it, so it's good.
It's just me in a mask. He sounds really familiar.
(22:57):
Ed he's doing therapy with me. He has no idea
I've set it up. This is all one big Brett prank.
It's not the Betterhelp dot Com slash Bones. That age
thing is from Business Insider. I thought that was super interesting.
Would you say, at this point in your life, your
best days are in front of your behind you in
front of me, and then you did a face like
you don't believe it. No, you said, then you didn't
(23:17):
believe it, because it makes me feel bad about the
years that are behind me, because some of those were
good too, But I think that the best days are
still to come. Box oh behind I mean, listen, I
was prom king, I was drinking champion at twenty one.
I partied so hard and now I'm just like, I'm
here and I'm happy and I'm good. But I mean,
it's your kids in. I know, I have your wife in.
(23:40):
I understand. But life was so fun then. Now it's
more like, yeah, okay, you take care of the kids.
You wipe their butts like, oh okay, Like it's cool,
but it's more about them than it is me. So
my best days are behind me. They were talking about
little age as you peaked at a minute ago, but
this is just generally better things to come, or were
the best things already behind you? Eddie man, Like the
(24:02):
days back are were great, but I always had responsibilities, school, work, whatever.
I cannot wait to retire and do nothing, so my
best days are ahead of me. That's weird that you
look forward to retirement. To me, it's weird. I can't
wait to do nothing, but I never want to retire. Yeah,
I know that's a difference between you and me. The
difference is I guess I really enjoy what I do. Well, No,
(24:22):
I do too, but I want you enjoy it for
a job. I think. For me, when I look at
the calendar and there's something on there, I'm like, oh,
I gotta do that today. Okay, So it messes with
my brain. But if I wake up and there's nothing
on my calendar and I can go play golf if
I want, I cannot wait for that, stresses out. Has
Eddie been? Have you been setting up your retirement? Like?
Do you know what age you could stop? No? No, no,
(24:43):
no chance, I don't even know have savings? Like really,
but being a goal you should start working towards that
because it doesn't just magically happen. It's just so you
lit up when you said with the word retirement, I
cannot wait. I played a golf with an old man
the other day. He said he had just started retirement,
and he was do you mean the problem with retiring
as you're old and about to die? Exactly? That's why
(25:04):
our best days are behind us. Guys were closer to death.
That is. Bobby just nailed it. Like when you're twenty one,
twenty two years old, you are thinking about the next
night out the next you know, girl at the bar,
you're not thinking about, Oh my gosh, I am mortal
and I'm gonna die. Yeah, when I retire. I don't
want to retire, but I'm gonna say, if I ever retire,
it'll be like, dang, I'm only retiring because I'm old. Yeah,
(25:25):
that's exactly right. That to me's freaky. And also, I
just love my job so much. I would do it forever.
I don't know about that. But so you would say
your best days are behind you too, I wouldn't. I'm
a weird one. I think my best days are right now.
I think right now is thrived time, and I think
I've only got a little bit more right now. And
then it starts to probably go down a little bit,
and I feel like, right now I'm really kicking time
(25:45):
in the butt. You're living. I got a foot right
in the rectum of time, okay, and it's just sitting
there rocking. Okay. So like the next three or four years,
I feel like, so I'm gonna go with now. Thirty
eight percent say the best yet to come. That's a
pretty positive outlook. Fourteen percent say, oh one of theirs
is right now. I didn't know. I was a part
(26:05):
of that one and twenty seven percent of their best
days are behind them. So that's from you, Gov America.
I just retirement, and you're looking forward to it. I
understand the concept of not having to work. I think
I would look forward to retiring though right now, like
if you're gonna have a dream. Yeah, don't be called
just retired right now. Oh yeah, but that's not possible.
It sounds like it's gonna be possible. Yeah. Here's a
(26:28):
voicemail from John in Virginia. I will be seventy five
years old and on a twin and I will be
a fifty four year survivor. I'm thorough cancer. I'm retired
military after twenty two years. I worked for a Richmond
City police department as a surveying for almost seventeen years.
I do ballroom dancing as a hobby. Hey, Bobby, tell
(26:50):
everybody hello in the studio. Take care. That is a
full life. Yeah, but beat cancer, police department for almost
twenty years, military in ballroom dancing. Yes, sir, it's amazing.
Hey John, we have your number here in our little database.
Since you call and left a message, I'm gonna call
you back. I love your story. I'm gonna get you
(27:12):
have five hundred dollars Home Depot gift card because I
think it's pretty cool. I think your story, all you've
been through, all you keep in ballroom dancing. Let's sound hard,
you guys laugh. I had to do their crap. That's
if you've never done it. It's impossible, really hard. So
I'm gonna get you a five hundred dollars Home Depot
gift card. Hopefully you can go get yourself some cool
(27:34):
stuff there, make your house a little nice. So you know,
from us at Home Depot, more than thirty five thousand
Home Depot associates are veterans or military spouses, so giving
back to veterans is personal for the Home Depot. So
thank you to Home Depot for that, and John, thank
you for the call. Pretty amazing. There you're Samy's Pile
of Stories. A mom in North Carolina was cleaning out
(27:56):
her basement and her daughter was nearby. She's super young,
and she came across a cassette tape and the daughter
called it ancient history and thought you had to shake
it to make it work. And here's a clip of
something the mom recorded. What did you just ask me.
It looks like some ancient history storyteller. This is a
cassette tape. This is how we used to listen to music,
and how we recorded music from the radio. This is
(28:17):
how we saved me. Are you serious? You're dead serious.
You don't know what this is? Do you like pool
it or something? No, the cassette, the cassette tape to
a kid now is the record to us, meaning we
were like, wait, what you put this big blat thing
on a record. It's a weird thing. And then it
(28:39):
started to come back a little bit when we got older,
And now cassettes are coming back a little bit now
just because they're old for another reason. But yeah, cassettetees
are kind of funky looking if you don't know what
it is. Yeah, what else of Poule found the top
things that annoy us at the office. It's number one,
arks in the glassroom. Nice, that's a good one for everyone. Well, no,
this is a universal pulse, yes, abody would haly? Does that?
(29:01):
Go ahead? So people not calling out when they are sick,
it's funny you call it calling out calling in. Yeah,
it's just where you are somep like I'm calling call
out sick and I'm like, I usually call in sick.
They show up to work when they're sick. That's basically
I don't like that. That's a rule here. If you're sick,
don't come in. Don't don't want you, I don't need you.
Gross bathrooms. Okay, we don't have hot water in our bathroom. Yeah,
(29:24):
that's not good and that's gross. So I subscribe to
that one. People who leave dirty dishes in the sink
or the kitchen area, it's like messy. Okay, office gossip.
You know. The thing about the kitchen here is it's
not so bad anymore. We're basically the only people left
in our building. Everybody else moved, like weren't a building
all by ourselves. We're squatting now at this point, we
really are, because we don't even have parking anymore. Nothing.
(29:46):
They're doing everything to make us move. Construction is happening
in leaving yesterday, I had to ask the workers to
take please, pretty please take a lunch break because I
had to record something. Thank you. Had to talk to
the construction workers. Well, I had had Tim helped me. Okay,
well then you didn't, okay, okay, okay. His office gossip
(30:07):
makes the list co workers talking too loudly, and then
old computers and it issues all right, And then Jimmy Allen,
he's hitting the road with Carrie Underwood this fall, so
he was asked about his tour rider, and he's got
some pretty normal things on his list that he wants
in his dressing room, like pop tart, sparkling cider, honey
Graham crackers. But then the unusual request is brand new
(30:28):
American Eagle underwear. I get it. I used to request
Red Sox everywhere I went because I just wanted I
would wear Red Sox every show. But then I didn't
need a new pair everywhere I was some as I
forget him, but if I just requested them, I would
never forget him. And then I went home and I
had two drawers full of Red Sox. He still do
have so many pair of Red Sox well. Jimmy told
Taste of Country that he likes to wear brand new
underwear when he goes out on stage. He said, it's
(30:48):
just something that feels good. I'm gonna tell you why
that's not a good idea straight out of the package.
You don't know what sort of bacteria or chemicals are
on them, because they've been in a package and think
about that part. Jimmy's like, I get all these where
but a rash all ways. I can't explain it. The
cool thing about like a Jimmy opening for Carrie or
a Dan and Shay opening for Kenny Chesney, because those
(31:09):
guys aren't really opening acts. They do their own shows.
But what's great for them is obviously the venues are bigger.
They're playing Dan and Shay are playing football stadiums, Jimmy's
playing arenas. But they're basically making the same money that
they make or a little more when they headline, and
they actually make a lot more money because they don't
have to pay for what they call backline, the lights,
(31:30):
all the trucks to get stuff there. They show up
with their band and just play with all the equipment
that's already there. So not only getting paid the same
or a little more, but they're not paying back in
because it's very expensive to tour, and so they make
in this situation a lot more money by not being
the Headliner's a pretty cool work. You can get it. Yeah,
I wanted to be Kenny's opener. Anyone, let me have
it all right, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile
(31:55):
of stories. It's time for the good news. Ready. So
there's a fishing tournament in Clearwater, Florida, and there's a
crew that goes to their spot. It's about one hundred
miles off the coast. They're fishing for a few days
and then the storm comes out of nowhere. They did
not expect it. Lightning comes, boone, boone, it's all over
(32:15):
the boat. Finally one of them boom hits the boat.
Seven members on there. Not one of them got hit though, luckily,
but it struck the engine. There was a minor fire
on there. They're like, oh my gosh, we're stuck out here.
We don't know what to do. So they get on
the radio they're like, help help may day, may day,
We're stuck out here. Sos If people still say may day, yeah,
yeah absolutely. My husband was going down on a plane.
He said may day and I was like, that seems
(32:37):
so weird, but it's literally what you say, that's the
last resort. May day means like that, I know what
it means. What does it mean? Maybe our last day?
That could be Like I know what it means. There's
I get it. Sorry, may day may day. Maybe your
story so may day, so they could ye go mayday.
(32:57):
SOS Coastguard is like, we got you loud and clear,
were coming, and they start I mean, they say that
when you're looking for a boat, it's like a needle
in a haystack. So they keep kidding this little button
that's like, oh, distress, distress, so they can find the
exact location. The helicopter finally finds them, They lower down
the roads, get they get seven members that are on there,
all safely in the helicopter to pull them all up
in the rope, every single one. You know, we went
(33:20):
eighty miles off the coast whenever I did my nat
GEO show in San Francisco and so it's called Breaking
Bobby Bones on Disney Plus and I went with a
fisherman and it took us forever. For dude, how crazy
is it when you look back and you see nothing
for miles. Yeah, I can't imagine being stuck. And I thought,
(33:42):
this boat goes down and have to swim, I don't
know where to go. Yeah, you're just flow. Yeah, I
have no idea what's going on. Well, I'm glad that
they're all safe. It doesn't say in the story. But
now I'm wondering, like, what do they do with the boat?
Just abandon it? Oh, it's done, it sinks. It has
to sink, like they just leak back if it's not. Yeah,
there's a lot of boats on a lot of places.
Somebody could grab the boat bring it. Well, what's crazy
(34:03):
is in the video they're filming themselves on the boat,
like going through the storm, and they film when they
get struck by lightning. It go boom and the camera
drops and everything. And then when they get a rescued
that I think I'd really say on the boat they
were spinning that little spinning that rope. It's like, yeah,
that looks awful. Well, I'm glad that they're all safe. Yes,
me too. All right, there you go. That's what it's
(34:25):
all about. That was tell me something good.
Transla. Welcome to Thursday Show Morning Studio, Morning Amy. You
watch Stranger Things the new season? No, but my daughter
did massive. I don't watch it. I like season one
and even season two, but for some reason, I just
(00:23):
stopped watching it. I'm not even a hater. I kind
of wish I'd hung in there. But now there's so
many other shows. I don't want to get involved in
this one. But the big story is there's a song
called Running Up That Hill that's an old song and
the artist has made so much money off of it.
(00:44):
So it's Kate Bush and it's played from back in
the day because the Stranger Things a set back in
the eighties. So because this song is massive again, she's
made so much money, like millions of dollars in Yeah.
So it's a really cool story. And so if you
go back though, here's the question for you guys. And
so I don't want to do us boiler here, but
the character on the show is fifteen years old. This
(01:04):
song is on it's a favorite song. What about us here?
What are your favorite song when you're fifteen years old?
Can you go back to that year? Because I have mine.
I'll give you second think about it. So I was
fifteen in nineteen ninety five, and I was kind of
in that weird stage of kind of alternative in country
at the same time. And so clay Walker and love
(01:24):
clay Walker. But this Woman and This Man nineteen yeah, Jam,
you forget how much you love this song until it
comes on and I sing this one really good in
the shower, right on my right in the vocal range.
So this is nineteen ninety five. My other two are
I was a massive Hoodie and the Blowfish fan hold
my hand, oh come oh yeah, like their first Monster song,
(01:52):
Knew every Word, in Love with Hoodie, Still in Love
with Hoodie, and Love with Darius, Kiss Him on the
Lift right now, Love Hoodie so much, played that cracked
review records so many times the tape, like the song titles,
We're starting to fade out because I just flipped on
the actual tap. It's awesome. So this and then Cheryl
Crowe is strong enough tues and Night Music Club, this
(02:15):
record that it was on album, it's amazing. I still
think it's amazing. So nineteen ninety five for me, those
are those songs Namy, I've give Me a Whole Time
here nineteen ninety five for you, what do you get? Well?
So in ninety six I was fifteen, Okay, oh that's true. Yeah,
Oh change everyone. You're younger than you, so I should
be a mensa. I was either listening to Tubac or
(02:39):
George Straight and so I gotta go with Carried Away?
Did Carried Away? Bom fifteen years old? Carried Away Eddie?
Oh man, this is a big year for me. It
was nineteen ninety four. This is when I discovered my
favorite band of all time, Pearl Jam, because I didn't
know the earlier stuff. But when Betterman came on the radio,
(03:00):
like I love this band. The song was so good. Yeah,
I did Better Man for me in Color She Dreams
and Red Can't Find And at first I thought it
was Butterman. I'm like, oh, I gotta find that Butterman song.
And I would go to the record store or the
music store at the mall and be like, can I
find the Butterman? They're like, what are you talking about? What?
We finally got to it's better Man? Oh it's easy
(03:23):
Coolio Gangster's Paradise. This song was awesome. What was that movie?
Dan Dangerous Mind? And I went and saw the night
it came out with Kathleen Lauren Forrest and then we
were just like, wow, that song is so deep. You
and Katherine Moore have Athane or what now? Kathleen what?
She was prom queen and I was prom king. But
we went to the Great Hills Theater. It's a good time.
(03:44):
Why do you sound creepy even that? He's like, no,
there was no thing, but is it good time? Let's
go over and open up the mail bag. You read
it all year. Get something we call Bobby? Yeah, hello,
Bobby Bones. I've always tried to be a supportive wife
(04:06):
of my husband's first love, golf. He plays every other
Sunday from May to September, along with three week end
trips in between. This year's a little different, as we
have a three year old and I'm currently very pregnant
do August first. He has a weekend trip coming up
in the middle of July with his brother, which I've
known about since April, and I've agreed to let him
go as at last hurrah before the baby. The problem
(04:29):
is now that my sister and brother in law have
decided to come home that same weekend to have their daughters,
my god daughters, baptized. I asked him to come home
just one day early to be here for the church service,
and he says, I'm making him feel like my sister
is more important than his brother. I know my family
will complain about him essentially choosing golf over his niece's
(04:49):
wife's god daughter's baptism. I see both sides. I'm not
sure how hard to push on this signed semi supportive
golf wife. I don't see his side. Don't see his side.
There's no side of has to see. He can do
fifty million golf trips the rest of his life. How
many times does family come in and get baptized? That's
a deal, listen. I love golf, love it, but it's
(05:11):
not like it's a once in a lifetime trip to
go play. Augusta. He's going with his brother to Hilton
Head Public MUNI. I don't know where he's going. But
if you have family coming into town and a family
member is getting baptized and you've asked him to come
home one day early, he needs to put his big
boy pants on and come home one day early and
(05:32):
be at this. I think it's a different conversation. I
don't know how different, but it's a different conversation. If
it's like his dying grandfather and they're playing golf one
final time, or they've been they're going out to California,
they're gonna play Pebble Beach, and then got to do
that forever. And even then, you can do that anytime,
do it next year. I hate having to stick up
(05:57):
for her in the situation because you love golf. Yeah,
because somehow get to clip play it back from meat
your word. But some things are just bigger than golf.
A day playing golf or a trip with your brother
playing golf. You can do that anytime. And also, why
are you gone in mid Jule life your wife's pregnan
August first, don't even do that aside from the baptism,
don't even do that, y'all go back in the email
a little bit. Just sit this one out, buddy. I
(06:20):
know you love golf, play at home, lunchbox him when
your wife was really pregnant. Yeah, well you went to
No no, no no, no no, we'll just follow me here.
You went to Vegas. Yeah, we had a dachelor party,
three day bender, last hurrah, last hurrah with the boys,
I mean, drank a ton. Got home next day, she
went in labor, next day, next day, if it's close,
(06:40):
if you're a couple of weeks out, you shouldn't be
leaving play golf with your brother at home for a
couple of days. On this third day. You need to
go to this baptism. That's what I'm saying. You can disagree,
I Lunchbox shaking his head. Yes, I disagree. He had
something planned before the baptism was planned, so they knew.
I'm not even it's a double whammy. It's herbian pregnant
(07:00):
and almost baby time and the baptism. Right, he doesn't
even be gone anyway, the baptism, it's not a big deal.
It's not a big deal to be at the baptism.
Memories with your brother is more important than seeing some
niece or nephew get baptized. That whatever. There's gonna be
fifty people there, and no one's gonna remember who was
there and who was not there. Go make memories with
your brother. Your wife gave your permission. You gave him
(07:20):
permission a long time ago. Your sisters should have planned
the baptism another day. I'm team husband. Yeah, I'm not.
Because if I could listen to that, if it was
just a baptism, and she wasn't pregnant, about to have
a baby in two weeks. And luckily here she's got
family around her. She goes into labor, she got a
lot of helpers. Oh she needs to have him there,
just like you probably shouldn't have gone on that trip too,
and you know that there's a good trip. Man. Yeah,
(07:41):
but you got back and you're still a little drunk
and you still had to go. Dude, I was falling
asleep during the labor. Yeah. So I'm with you, semi
support of golf wife. You tell your husband he's not
gonna like it, but he doesn't need to go. You
could go into labor at any point. Play golf at home.
You'll let him do that. Heck, go to the baptism
and play golf in the evening day three, play after
(08:01):
the baptism, get your game in. Just have your brother
comes down. That's where it is. I do not I'm
not bending on this one. This is an easy one. Um.
You might have a kid early and he stays on four.
It's on some weird hole somewhere on an island green
and you got a second kid coming in. All right,
I'm on team semi supportive golf wife. Tell him to
come home. If you need to talk to me, I'm
giving me a call. Right, all right, that's the mailbag.
(08:23):
Thank you, we've got your tea. Now here's a voicemail
from Tina and Indiana, who we're gonna hear from Abbey
later because she performed last night at the airport. But
Lunchbox was just giving her the business. And he's like,
I can't believe you're gonna go perform. You ain't making
(08:45):
any money. You ain't that good of a singer. Just
giving her the business. That's what airport singers are. Not
that good. That's the good thing about him. So here
is a voicemail from Tina and Indiana. Go ahead, at
least what she loves to do, whether it be twenty
five dollars or fifty dollars or I whatever she sings,
at least say you have to actually pay to be
(09:06):
on the zoom class was for acting. I'm pretty sure
it's not real, but anyway, good luck Abby. Nice call
got him like our callers will come back hard and strong.
Go ahead, What do you mean? Yes, it's called taking lessons.
I mean Abby should take singing lessons. She should probably
pay for those to help her singing. Hey, Abby, have
you ever taken a singing lesson at all? Oh? Man?
(09:28):
When I was a kid, I did. Yeah. Oh see,
there you go. But she did take lessons exactly, and
now she's turned that into actually making money. What you
haven't done? Okay, great, come back, all right, thank you? Hey? Abby?
By the way, has she thought about taking more lessons?
I've thought about it. Actually, I can always improve. Absolutely
have friends that are UM artists signed to labels and
(09:50):
they still take singing lessons exactly. No shame, Well, lady, well,
you're shaming me for taking acting lessons. Tom Hanks takes
acting lessons. I don't know that that's true. I probably
did a long time ago. I can't lay. You're the
one that started this beef. She's saying. Abby is now
making money doing what she loves while you're still paying
in okay, um, Speaking of Abbey, Eddie and Scuba Steve
have convinced Abby to go on vacation by herself. Yeah, Abbey,
(10:13):
is that true? They did? It was that conversation like, well,
and we talk after the show, and Abby was like,
you know, I just don't think I'm gonna do anything
for vacation, I mean Scooba, were like, what are you
talking about? So we started talking about Cute West and
she goes where Key West que West and she goes,
I've never been there before, dude. We talked it up
over and over and she goes. At the end of
(10:33):
our conversation, she was on the computer booking a flight.
You booked a flight. You're going to Qute West. M
let's go. I've never been, so I can't say, you
know good or not? What are you gonna do? Explore
everything I'm I've been online looking at everything I booked,
like a cruise deal, like a on a catamaran. Let's go.
(10:54):
I've done vacation by myself before. And how was it? Oh? Boy,
well I did it because I went to work right,
I was finishing one of my books, and I thought, well,
if I go far away to a place I don't
know anybody all right here, and then in the day
I'll go in vacate. So when I did, and I'd
be like, hey, we took a picture of me to
somebody to be like yeah, sure, no, no, just me,
(11:17):
oh yeah, eventually yeah, it's in. Eventually You're like, I mean,
by myself I'll just stay in my room and watch
TV and work. But I love that you're able to
kind of stretch yourself out a little bit and go
do it. I think you'll probably have more fun than
I did. I'm a bit more neurotic than you are.
I can't believe I did that. I'm very easily convinced.
And they were just like, oh, you should do it.
I'm like, okay, so you're gonna how many days? Five?
(11:43):
I'm a little surprised it's five, but that's okay, we
can do this. Wow, you can do it. Yeah. I
think actually it could be very free Max. Wow. See
the way I look at it, it's like I haven't
gone on a vacation by myself in fourteen years. I've
had four kids, like married, and so vacation for me
is like, what do you guys want to do? What
do you want to do? And then we decide, all right,
(12:03):
we'll go do this. You go by yourself. You're like,
what do I feel like doing today? Nothing? Dream because
your experience, she can do that already right now. And
who can she talk to? Nobody? She wants to find
a family to go west. I do not need to
talk to anybody, Abby, It's gonna be cool. Uh huh.
But that's what I said. When he said that to me,
I was like, but my dreams to go with someone,
so you switch, she goes to your family, Eddie west
(12:27):
by yourself, Aby, gonna be good. It'd be a growth,
a time of growth for you. Wow. Okay, Wow, how's
our bangings so fire? For the next mor we'll get
the Abbey on Abby and her band and they played
at the airport last night. Coming up in a little bit,
let's take a call from Olivia in Fort Campbell, Tennessee. Olivia,
you're on the Bobby Bone Show. I it was just
(12:48):
curious why you left Matt Kearney off your Mount Rushmore
list of songs. You're absolutely right, and I'm an idiot,
and again thankful to the callers. What I was doing
was I was listing and this is just kind of
off the top of my head. Caitlyn and I is
Mount Rushmore of songs through our our time together, from
meeting and dating and getting married and even now. And
I left Matt Carney off, who we went to a
(13:10):
Matt Carney show and when he played this song right here,
that's when Caitlyn said, she knew she loved me when
the song was playing what is it? And so? And
then he played at our engagement when I proposed, And
you're right, I just missed swinging a miss oliviath. I'm
glad you called in. That's what I'm here for. Don't
worry about it. Well, I appreciate that. Hey, so your
(13:32):
husband in the military. He is, Yes, I'm seeing that.
Here says he's active military. Where where's he stationed? We're
at Fort Campbell right now. We just moved back from
Fort Brage. Actually, what up? Well, I would like to
if you would let me give you a little something here.
So I'm gonna give you a five hundred dollars gift
card to Home Depot. How do you feel about that? Oh?
(13:52):
My god, feels pretty good. I like that. Yeah, so
five to the Home Depot. Now listen. More than thirty
five thousand Home Depot associates and veteran or military spouses
are there and they want to give back to veterans.
It's very personal for Home Depot. The Home Depot Foundation

proud of that. So thank you very much. It's time
for the good News by Manda. Paul flew over four
(14:57):
thousand miles from Orlando to get married buried on an
island in Scotland. It sounds fancy, but they had been
playing in its dream wedding for over two years, so
their dreams started to crumble A little bit after their
plane was diverted to Philadelphia, a detour that led to
three days of delays. Man, that's a lot of delay.
I've been delayed never three days. But with the airports
(15:18):
right now in pilots canceling and sick, and so they
were stuck in all these airports. So they finally get
to this island eleven pm the night before their wedding.
They're gonna get their four days ahead, but eleven pm
the night before their wedding, their luggage didn't make it.
Luggage is weird because you get shipped all over. They
got to get that luggage. And I'll tell you, whenever
I've been moved, I've never got my luggage at the
right time. So they get there, they don't have any luggage.
(15:41):
So they were like, well, I guess we have to
cancel and then we're gonna call the whole wedding off,
until their wedding photographer said, hey, hold on a minute,
and we don't photgrapher who lived in the town went
and said, hey, do you guys have some clothes? Do
you guys have this? This? This gathered everything they needed.
That morning they showed up with everything clothes, cameras everything,
(16:03):
and so they had from the wedding dress all the
way to a kilt set. Wow, people towhere and one
of her friends even came and did makeup the photographer
and they had the wedding and then they went to
somebody's house for dinner that also said, Hey, you can
have our house. That's so cool. That's pretty cool. It
wasn't even like a neighborhood that knew her, right, some
of these stories like the neighborhood comes together to raise
(16:24):
rent for someone who they were just heading over for
a wedding and everybody came together and helped. It's an
awesome story. That is what it's all about. That was
tell me something good. So, according to scientists that have
studied many brains over many years, there's a rundown of
the ages that you max out at certain things. You
can still do them now, but if you wanted to
(16:46):
learn this or try this, they have the age where
you peak learning a new language. Do you know any
other languages? Spanish? I took eight years in school, but
do you know just a little bit of it? Yeah?
So when did you feel like you're really nailing the Spanish?
What age? Oh? Probably seventh grade, thirteen, maybe some college. Yeah,
(17:12):
learning a new language your best at that at age seven. Oh.
I tried at twenty five to learn Spanish and I
did Rosetta Stone and I was I'm Adeo and I
was doing it all. I was like seeing it and
you know, doing the sitch. And then I realized all
my friends were Hispanic or Mexicans, So I just need
to hang out with them more. And that's what I did,
and that's where I learned more. It was just being
around them. Yeah, immersion M I mean yeah, like sort
(17:34):
of immersion and listen to you now we were still
in Texas. Yeah, yeah, listen, that's why. I mean my
dad grew up in South Texas and he was literally fluent,
like could have full blown conversations in English or Spanish. Yeah.
I did like season two of that thing, and I
was like, I'm out, I'm tapped. I can't do anymore.
The next attractiveness, When do you feel that you were
(17:55):
your best looking? Were? M? What age? Okay, couldn't hmm,
probably twenty twenty five. But that's my guest for this.
I'm asking you out. I'm I like where I'm going
inside and out with it but that's not what we're
(18:16):
talking about inside, and we're not talking about inside. You're
gonna stay with forty Okay, okay, Eddie, you come on, dude,
twenty one, twenty two like not now, absolutely not. This
is the worst I've ever been, I would say twenty five. Okay,
(18:37):
what about you right now? Well, here's the situation here.
I feel like I'm in as good as shape, really
as I've ever been in. I'm lucky that I have
all my hair, yes you are. And I'm lucky that
I wear big dark glasses because any eye aging, you
don't see it covers it all up, any sort of
(18:57):
like the low wrinkles in the side of the eyes.
I have great vision. I've been lying to you you guys
for years. There's wanted to hide it all. Okay, Um,
I don't know, probably thirty three or thirty four. I
feel good now, like a close second. But twenty three
years old is when your metabolism is functioning the best.
You're in your best shape. So most attractives at twenty
three finding a partner for marriage. What do you think
(19:20):
the best age to do that is thirty? Yeah, I'd
say late thirties. I'd say thirty seven. That else I
got older. I was very thankful that's right, that I
didn't do something stupid to get married before, because I
never even liked anybody. But I could have been like,
oh that's where I come from amber to gets married quick.
(19:42):
I'm not saying that it's bad to wait till that
age or not be married at that age at all.
It's just I feel like, for this study that will
be late twenty six, it's finding a partner for marriage.
This when your career is settled. No, it's not settled.
Never go no way, and you're starting to have a
little money saved up. Nope again. Twenty six broke running
(20:02):
a marathon. When did you run your marathon? I was
twenty twenty twenty Okay, um, maybe ever run a marathon
and I would say that was pretty rough on my body.
So running a marathon when your bones are strongest and
your endurances that it's best as age twenty eight. And
if you look at the runners along dist runners, they're older,
they are older. Yeah, they're older remembering faces oh, eighteen
(20:29):
thirty two because you know you put some time in,
but also thirty two is when your memory starts to
slightly start declining, so peaking at thirty two? On faces,
I was watching a story about a guy who has
a disease where he can't remember face. He doesn't know
the difference in faces. Wow. He can see it and
lock in and have it then, but as soon as
it looks somewhere else that comes back he don't remember
that facey. I wonder if you have like a sense
(20:49):
of like remembering voices in super Yeah, you're like a
badass sonar Ye can't you remember? That's what it is.
It's all voice texture, vocabulary. When you'll know the most
about your particular language, like when you have the most words,
you say the most words forty oh fifty. So you're
not there yet, so I'm asking you would have to learn. Ye,
(21:10):
I'm not keep learning. This is one where I'm like,
what do you think it will be? The older the better?
Sixty yeah, seventy one? Wow. And then psychological well being
when you're the most content and satisfied, where do you
peak at that one? Oh my gosh, probably right before
you die? Right? Eighty two? Yeah? I to say sixty.
It's eighty two, and that's higher than the average lifespan
(21:31):
in America. Yeah, seventy eight and a half. I guess
you just had at seventy nine. You're just like, how's money? Baby,
let's go Eddie? How out? Speaking of that, I just
felt a little something from you there. How is it
going with therapy on Better Help? Good Man? So not
a commarshal, hey, not a commercial commarhal, But we've done
multiple sessions and now I brought my wife into it.
How cool is that? Your own? We were just having
(21:54):
conversations and my therapist says, hey, would your wife want
to join? You know a couple of these sessions. I said,
I'll ask her, we'll see. She did, and now she's
been joining me. She's gone on two of them with me.
That's cool. So she gets on his phone. It's therapy
on your phone. Yeah, we have a code Mike because
this is not a commercial. So I don't know what
to tell our listeners. But betterhelp dot com is where
you go. I think maybe slash bones if you want
(22:14):
like ten percent off, it's usually what it is. But yeah,
it's great because you can set it up. You do
do it on your phone. You don't have to video
if you don't want to, you can. But even my
therapist because I have therapy later today. He gives me
the action. If you want to bring your wife in
for some of the stuff, you can, right, I never
do Do you even ask your wife or do you
just say oh, do you ask your wife if she
wants to do it, or do you just say, Nash,
(22:35):
you probably won't do it. Yeah, I was like that.
I was like that too, Like he never wants to
see you. What did you say, Ray Mayer? Yeah, slash
Bones then ten percent off first month guys, Betterhelp dot
Com slash Bones. You like it? Yeah? Man, I love it. Yeah.
I mean we're still gonna keep doing it, so it's good.
It's just me in a mask. He sounds really familiar.
(22:57):
Ed he's doing therapy with me. He has no idea
I've set it up. This is all one big Brett prank.
It's not the Betterhelp dot Com slash Bones. That age
thing is from Business Insider. I thought that was super interesting.
Would you say, at this point in your life, your
best days are in front of your behind you in
front of me, and then you did a face like
you don't believe it. No, you said, then you didn't
(23:17):
believe it, because it makes me feel bad about the
years that are behind me, because some of those were
good too, But I think that the best days are
still to come. Box oh behind I mean, listen, I
was prom king, I was drinking champion at twenty one.
I partied so hard and now I'm just like, I'm
here and I'm happy and I'm good. But I mean,
it's your kids in. I know, I have your wife in.
(23:40):
I understand. But life was so fun then. Now it's
more like, yeah, okay, you take care of the kids.
You wipe their butts like, oh okay, Like it's cool,
but it's more about them than it is me. So
my best days are behind me. They were talking about
little age as you peaked at a minute ago, but
this is just generally better things to come, or were
the best things already behind you? Eddie man, Like the
(24:02):
days back are were great, but I always had responsibilities, school, work, whatever.
I cannot wait to retire and do nothing, so my
best days are ahead of me. That's weird that you
look forward to retirement. To me, it's weird. I can't
wait to do nothing, but I never want to retire. Yeah,
I know that's a difference between you and me. The
difference is I guess I really enjoy what I do. Well, No,
(24:22):
I do too, but I want you enjoy it for
a job. I think. For me, when I look at
the calendar and there's something on there, I'm like, oh,
I gotta do that today. Okay, So it messes with
my brain. But if I wake up and there's nothing
on my calendar and I can go play golf if
I want, I cannot wait for that, stresses out. Has
Eddie been? Have you been setting up your retirement? Like?
Do you know what age you could stop? No? No, no,
(24:43):
no chance, I don't even know have savings? Like really,
but being a goal you should start working towards that
because it doesn't just magically happen. It's just so you
lit up when you said with the word retirement, I
cannot wait. I played a golf with an old man
the other day. He said he had just started retirement,
and he was do you mean the problem with retiring
as you're old and about to die? Exactly? That's why
(25:04):
our best days are behind us. Guys were closer to death.
That is. Bobby just nailed it. Like when you're twenty one,
twenty two years old, you are thinking about the next
night out the next you know, girl at the bar,
you're not thinking about, Oh my gosh, I am mortal
and I'm gonna die. Yeah, when I retire. I don't
want to retire, but I'm gonna say, if I ever retire,
it'll be like, dang, I'm only retiring because I'm old. Yeah,
(25:25):
that's exactly right. That to me's freaky. And also, I
just love my job so much. I would do it forever.
I don't know about that. But so you would say
your best days are behind you too, I wouldn't. I'm
a weird one. I think my best days are right now.
I think right now is thrived time, and I think
I've only got a little bit more right now. And
then it starts to probably go down a little bit,
and I feel like, right now I'm really kicking time
(25:45):
in the butt. You're living. I got a foot right
in the rectum of time, okay, and it's just sitting
there rocking. Okay. So like the next three or four years,
I feel like, so I'm gonna go with now. Thirty
eight percent say the best yet to come. That's a
pretty positive outlook. Fourteen percent say, oh one of theirs
is right now. I didn't know. I was a part
(26:05):
of that one and twenty seven percent of their best
days are behind them. So that's from you, Gov America.
I just retirement, and you're looking forward to it. I
understand the concept of not having to work. I think
I would look forward to retiring though right now, like
if you're gonna have a dream. Yeah, don't be called
just retired right now. Oh yeah, but that's not possible.
It sounds like it's gonna be possible. Yeah. Here's a
(26:28):
voicemail from John in Virginia. I will be seventy five
years old and on a twin and I will be
a fifty four year survivor. I'm thorough cancer. I'm retired
military after twenty two years. I worked for a Richmond
City police department as a surveying for almost seventeen years.
I do ballroom dancing as a hobby. Hey, Bobby, tell
(26:50):
everybody hello in the studio. Take care. That is a
full life. Yeah, but beat cancer, police department for almost
twenty years, military in ballroom dancing. Yes, sir, it's amazing.
Hey John, we have your number here in our little database.
Since you call and left a message, I'm gonna call
you back. I love your story. I'm gonna get you
(27:12):
have five hundred dollars Home Depot gift card because I
think it's pretty cool. I think your story, all you've
been through, all you keep in ballroom dancing. Let's sound hard,
you guys laugh. I had to do their crap. That's
if you've never done it. It's impossible, really hard. So
I'm gonna get you a five hundred dollars Home Depot
gift card. Hopefully you can go get yourself some cool
(27:34):
stuff there, make your house a little nice. So you know,
from us at Home Depot, more than thirty five thousand
Home Depot associates are veterans or military spouses, so giving
back to veterans is personal for the Home Depot. So
thank you to Home Depot for that, and John, thank
you for the call. Pretty amazing. There you're Samy's Pile
of Stories. A mom in North Carolina was cleaning out
(27:56):
her basement and her daughter was nearby. She's super young,
and she came across a cassette tape and the daughter
called it ancient history and thought you had to shake
it to make it work. And here's a clip of
something the mom recorded. What did you just ask me.
It looks like some ancient history storyteller. This is a
cassette tape. This is how we used to listen to music,
and how we recorded music from the radio. This is
(28:17):
how we saved me. Are you serious? You're dead serious.
You don't know what this is? Do you like pool
it or something? No, the cassette, the cassette tape to
a kid now is the record to us, meaning we
were like, wait, what you put this big blat thing
on a record. It's a weird thing. And then it
(28:39):
started to come back a little bit when we got older,
And now cassettes are coming back a little bit now
just because they're old for another reason. But yeah, cassettetees
are kind of funky looking if you don't know what
it is. Yeah, what else of Poule found the top
things that annoy us at the office. It's number one,
arks in the glassroom. Nice, that's a good one for everyone. Well, no,
this is a universal pulse, yes, abody would haly? Does that?
(29:01):
Go ahead? So people not calling out when they are sick,
it's funny you call it calling out calling in. Yeah,
it's just where you are somep like I'm calling call
out sick and I'm like, I usually call in sick.
They show up to work when they're sick. That's basically
I don't like that. That's a rule here. If you're sick,
don't come in. Don't don't want you, I don't need you.
Gross bathrooms. Okay, we don't have hot water in our bathroom. Yeah,
(29:24):
that's not good and that's gross. So I subscribe to
that one. People who leave dirty dishes in the sink
or the kitchen area, it's like messy. Okay, office gossip.
You know. The thing about the kitchen here is it's
not so bad anymore. We're basically the only people left
in our building. Everybody else moved, like weren't a building
all by ourselves. We're squatting now at this point, we
really are, because we don't even have parking anymore. Nothing.
(29:46):
They're doing everything to make us move. Construction is happening
in leaving yesterday, I had to ask the workers to
take please, pretty please take a lunch break because I
had to record something. Thank you. Had to talk to
the construction workers. Well, I had had Tim helped me. Okay,
well then you didn't, okay, okay, okay. His office gossip
(30:07):
makes the list co workers talking too loudly, and then
old computers and it issues all right, And then Jimmy Allen,
he's hitting the road with Carrie Underwood this fall, so
he was asked about his tour rider, and he's got
some pretty normal things on his list that he wants
in his dressing room, like pop tart, sparkling cider, honey
Graham crackers. But then the unusual request is brand new
(30:28):
American Eagle underwear. I get it. I used to request
Red Sox everywhere I went because I just wanted I
would wear Red Sox every show. But then I didn't
need a new pair everywhere I was some as I
forget him, but if I just requested them, I would
never forget him. And then I went home and I
had two drawers full of Red Sox. He still do
have so many pair of Red Sox well. Jimmy told
Taste of Country that he likes to wear brand new
underwear when he goes out on stage. He said, it's
(30:48):
just something that feels good. I'm gonna tell you why
that's not a good idea straight out of the package.
You don't know what sort of bacteria or chemicals are
on them, because they've been in a package and think
about that part. Jimmy's like, I get all these where
but a rash all ways. I can't explain it. The
cool thing about like a Jimmy opening for Carrie or
a Dan and Shay opening for Kenny Chesney, because those
(31:09):
guys aren't really opening acts. They do their own shows.
But what's great for them is obviously the venues are bigger.
They're playing Dan and Shay are playing football stadiums, Jimmy's
playing arenas. But they're basically making the same money that
they make or a little more when they headline, and
they actually make a lot more money because they don't
have to pay for what they call backline, the lights,
(31:30):
all the trucks to get stuff there. They show up
with their band and just play with all the equipment
that's already there. So not only getting paid the same
or a little more, but they're not paying back in
because it's very expensive to tour, and so they make
in this situation a lot more money by not being
the Headliner's a pretty cool work. You can get it. Yeah,
I wanted to be Kenny's opener. Anyone, let me have
it all right, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile
(31:55):
of stories. It's time for the good news. Ready. So
there's a fishing tournament in Clearwater, Florida, and there's a
crew that goes to their spot. It's about one hundred
miles off the coast. They're fishing for a few days
and then the storm comes out of nowhere. They did
not expect it. Lightning comes, boone, boone, it's all over
(32:15):
the boat. Finally one of them boom hits the boat.
Seven members on there. Not one of them got hit though, luckily,
but it struck the engine. There was a minor fire
on there. They're like, oh my gosh, we're stuck out here.
We don't know what to do. So they get on
the radio they're like, help help may day, may day,
We're stuck out here. Sos If people still say may day, yeah,
yeah absolutely. My husband was going down on a plane.
He said may day and I was like, that seems
(32:37):
so weird, but it's literally what you say, that's the
last resort. May day means like that, I know what
it means. What does it mean? Maybe our last day?
That could be Like I know what it means. There's
I get it. Sorry, may day may day. Maybe your
story so may day, so they could ye go mayday.
(32:57):
SOS Coastguard is like, we got you loud and clear,
were coming, and they start I mean, they say that
when you're looking for a boat, it's like a needle
in a haystack. So they keep kidding this little button
that's like, oh, distress, distress, so they can find the
exact location. The helicopter finally finds them, They lower down
the roads, get they get seven members that are on there,
all safely in the helicopter to pull them all up
in the rope, every single one. You know, we went
(33:20):
eighty miles off the coast whenever I did my nat
GEO show in San Francisco and so it's called Breaking
Bobby Bones on Disney Plus and I went with a
fisherman and it took us forever. For dude, how crazy
is it when you look back and you see nothing
for miles. Yeah, I can't imagine being stuck. And I thought,
(33:42):
this boat goes down and have to swim, I don't
know where to go. Yeah, you're just flow. Yeah, I
have no idea what's going on. Well, I'm glad that
they're all safe. It doesn't say in the story. But
now I'm wondering, like, what do they do with the boat?
Just abandon it? Oh, it's done, it sinks. It has
to sink, like they just leak back if it's not. Yeah,
there's a lot of boats on a lot of places.
Somebody could grab the boat bring it. Well, what's crazy
(34:03):
is in the video they're filming themselves on the boat,
like going through the storm, and they film when they
get struck by lightning. It go boom and the camera
drops and everything. And then when they get a rescued
that I think I'd really say on the boat they
were spinning that little spinning that rope. It's like, yeah,
that looks awful. Well, I'm glad that they're all safe. Yes,
me too. All right, there you go. That's what it's
(34:25):
all about. That was tell me something good.
