Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Wednesday show. More in studio morning. Hope everybody's good.
Coming up later. We're gonna play never gonna get it.
You guys want to practice, want to get your mind flowing? Yeah?
On average Americans think it takes thirteen minutes to do this,
(00:24):
and it annoys most of us. What is it? We
won't drag this one out, but about an hour or
so we'll get a caller on a play it. But
on average Americans think it takes thirteen minutes to do this,
and it annoys most of us. You guys are good.
I get If you get it, I'll give you a dollar.
I got it. Well, I need you all to write
(00:45):
it down so you don't steal an answer. Everything I'm
thinking of takes way longer. Trust me, you can win
a dollar, or if you're sure you have it, you
can bet me two dollars. No, okay, so that's up
to you guys. No, everybody in Yeah, Oregon. What do
you have? Wash the dishes, lunchbox? Cool down the car,
Eddie washing the dishes, Amy waiting in linen. Anybody feels
(01:07):
so sure about it? I mean the fact that both
of us got washing the dishes. I'd say, yes, you
know about two dollars now, but if we both get
it is at fifty cents each. No, it's a dollar
if you got it. The answer is, come on, thirteen
minutes is what people come on. I feel like it's
being late. The answer, yeah, being late or socially unacceptable. Well,
got a more fun one coming up, but nobody got
(01:29):
that one. That was a tough one. That's a tough one.
Speaking of washing things, Amy was telling me they have
it all in one washer and dryer. Now my mind
is blown. Which talk to me. Now, if it really
does a good job doing both, that's great, But if
it's like shampoo and condition or in the same bottle,
that never works as well. It's like a shampoo in
a condition. You're right, So what did you see? I
can't speak to how well it works. So my sister
(01:49):
was telling me about it, and she said that, yeah,
you you put it all in and you press all
the buttons to make it wash, and then suddenly when
the water goes away, it turned into dryer, and you
press those buttons and it starts drying the clothes. It
also doesn't make sense we haven't had this already. It's
not totally. It's a hovercraft, right, It's just I'm like,
(02:10):
look a drum. You put clothes in and you feel
like you can wash it and put some I say
that I've no idea how wash it works. But but yeah,
I'm surprised this hasn't been a thing. But that being said,
if it is a thing, that's amazing. Yeah I mean this,
If this is the future, I'm here for it. And
the worst, the worst wu O rst capital W was
having to go to the laundromat. We had to do
(02:30):
a lot of my life as a kid. We couldn't
have a washing dryer and they had to do it
in college some too. The word you just hang out
and there's no ac You just sweat and people fight
over the racks to hang. Oh the laundry mat was tough.
It may having to deal with laundromat now, like I empathize,
I feel you. I ain't doing it anymore, but that's
that was a tough years for me. We're gonna say
(02:51):
you ever like go back and you took a little
too long and somebody took all your stuff out of
the dryer and put it on then nobody, oh like
took it and put it out. Yeah, I thot like
took it like I was gonna say no. It's kind
of an understood like don't you don't take people stuff
even if they left it in there. Yeah, no one
ever stole it. I will just take like maybe two
hours to go back and then get my stuff and
put on the table and like girl be piled up
(03:11):
because everything was full. Okay, well if we can find them,
maybe we'll link that up on our stuff. The washer
and dryer all in one sounds pretty awesome. I lunch box.
You want to try it? Yeah, you do the first level? Yeah,
you're right it go ahead. It's time. It's time. Pretty good,
get all right? Okay, you're on it. You're on it. Hey,
so is it lunch lower lunch you mean yes? Yeah, no,
(03:33):
it's yeah, it's me Bobby. Okay, it's time. It's time.
It's time. Hey, you go a second. Okay, lunch box,
it's time. It's time. Time. I don't know, hit get something. Well, yeah,
(03:58):
I won't do that anymore, but fun little experiment. How
there we go, Hello, Bobby bones. I have an eight
year old daughter who absolutely loves to sing. She's almost
constantly singing some sort of tune. We have encouraged it
her whole life because she had so much fun. The
problem is the older she gets, the worse it gets.
She has seriously tone deaf. It's painful to listen to.
(04:19):
Of course, at home we just enjoy being serenaded, but
she started to get picked on at school for singing.
My problem is that she asked me to sign her
up for the school wide talent show, and I don't
know what to do. I don't want her to get
in front of the whole school and embarrass herself, but
I don't want to crush her dreams either. Please give
me some amazing parenting advice signed a supportive not so
(04:40):
much parents, this is what I say. Sign her up
and let it go. Sign her up and let her sing.
Let her learn the hard way. It's not even the
hard way. Just sign her up. You don't ever want
to hold someone back when they can actually go out
and try. If she goes out and she doesn't like
her experience, then she'll stop herself. I don't think stop her.
(05:00):
If she has the ability to go out and sing,
sign her up, let her go do it. I think
you can put her in singing lessons. I think she
can find out her own way. If she wants to
not sing, Who knows she might have some other talent
in music that she needs to discover by singing poorly.
And maybe it's not even poorly, maybe she just doesn't
know how to sing yet. Sign her up. She needs
(05:22):
to do this talent show. If she wants to do it,
let her do it. Encourage her, and when she gets
off stage, you give her a big ol hug and
you don't have to say, well, that's a great vocal
performance to be like, I'm so proud of you. You
got up and you did that. She can learn so
much by just getting in front of people and performing.
So that's what I say. Sign her up. If she
can't sing right now, let her learn herself. Amy, Well, yeah,
(05:42):
I mean I think shutting this down that she could
carry that with her the rest of her life and
she might not pursue other things that she wants to
That again, like you said, could lead to X y Z.
So I'm with you. We got to sign her up, Eddie.
I think that you guys are halfway there and also
have to have an honest conversation with her that say, hey,
I don't think you're there yet, but it doesn't mean
(06:03):
that you can't get there. She's eight, she's repeating, get it,
but she says he's getting she's getting worse as the
years ago. So you have to encourage her and be like, hey,
let's work harder, let's work I don't think you're there yet.
You know she's working hard, but I don't think it's
not encouragement. You can do straight encouragement and be like, hey,
we're going to get better. The don't leave the word
don't out of it. Well, that's not encouragement. I don't
(06:25):
think you're good. That's not encouragement. But it's like, hey,
if you want to sing, we got a lot of
work to do, because to be great it takes a
lot of work and a lot of effort. That's it.
That's how you say it. That's good. You got to
have that conversation with her, though, Yeah, I don't think
we say work harder. She's also eight, she's eight. Let
her sing. Okay, she'll figure it out. Let's hope Eddie's
not in this position. Oh I've been in this position,
(06:46):
and you said you don't play that sport anymore? Oh
no call, Yeah, his call after you said, well no,
after I said, hey, if you're gonna do this, let's
go one hundred percent. It doesn't sound like that's what
you said based on that. How the first part of
this come the station started and yeah, he didn't play
that supportive parent, Go be supportive. She's eight. Let her
(07:07):
sing her brains out. She really won't even start developing
that voice until she's twelve or thirteen anyway, like her
real voice. So we support you supporting her. That's the
mail back we got your now was found the cloth?
Why I look the spoon when you can drink the
(07:27):
whole cup. It's indulgent, straight from the mixing bowl with
sonic brownie batter and yellowcake batter shakes, hand mixed and
made with one percent real ice cream. Try one half
price in the app for a limited time only. It's sonic.
So here's some audio from lunchbox. We were coming back
from our iHeart Country festival in Austin, Texas. We had
to go to the airport. Do the thing you do, dude,
(07:50):
metal text or whatever that is, Wait in line, maybe
get a Starbucks, but the line was so long because
it's in the morning. Get on the plane, fly home.
The lunchbox went to the TSA and asked if they
had it. What special entrance for celebrities? Oh? Boy, okay, well,
I mean guys, usually when you go to lax, special
entrance usually have you ever gone through a special interest
(08:13):
in your entire life for a celebrity? No, but I
see other celebrities do it. And have you ever seen
actually seen it happen. No? Okay, but I see it
on TMZ. Here is clip number one, so this first clip.
Are you in Nashville? Yeah, I'm leaving, I'm heading to
the festival. Okay, excuse me, sir. Question for you, is
there like a special line that you are, like a
special terrance, like when you're checking in when you're a celebrity,
(08:34):
you're supposed to tell them instead of going through the
regular TSA Or is there like a special door that
you go through? Not that I'm aware of. Yeah, I
just didn't know if you guys had that, because you know,
when you're waiting in line at the celebrity, you're not
you're not wearing your masks. It's like, oh, there's a
celebrity and they want everybody wants to take a picture. Yeah,
not that I knew of. Okay, I didn't know if
you know, because you know how like when you come
(08:54):
in like, oh, you know, paparazzi. So some celebrities get
through special interests. I just didn't know how to ask
them for that next time. All right, yeah, okay, I
have no idea. Okay, thank you. Man. If you have
to explain to someone that you're a celebrity, are you
a celebrity? Times? Yeah? Something the same thing. So you
said it again in Austin. Yeah, then this is in Austin. Okay,
we go. Excuse me, ma'am. Question for you, Um, when
(09:18):
you're coming through, when you're like a celebrity, do you
have a special line for us? Um, this is not
my airport. Let me ask my Supervince. Okay, I didn't
know if you knew that. They say that again. No,
they do not have a special line. Oh you know
because like a lax you know, when the celebrities go through,
you know, they take us through a special entrance. And
so I was just wondering, you know, like here, you know,
(09:40):
do we get that treatment or do we have to
go through the normal line? When normal the normal line, Man,
it's awkward, you know when you go from the special
entrance to LA. Actually I got I'm used to coming here.
It just feels a little like, you know, LA more celebrities. Yeah,
and that's roight, yeah, because I don't Yeah, there might
be poper out to here sometimes when I come through,
so I just want to make sure there's a way
I could avoid them. Okay, thank you, thank you. She
(10:03):
wasn't even curious. Uh So here's what I was told,
and I'll just tell you Eddie. Eddie said, Hey, you
know why Lunchbox wears a mask on the airplane. I
was like, I don't know, where's one why people wear masks,
so maybe don't get COVID. But that's not what you think. No,
that's what I thought. I thought he was trying to
(10:24):
be safe, and like, you know, it's cool whatever. I
respect that. But when we landed and got into the car,
he rips his mask up, like good thing. I wore
that mask, dude. I just feel like if I didn't
wear this mask, people would recognize us, and then you know,
people would not let us go. We'd have to take
a lot of pictures. And I'm like, you wore the
mask because you thought people were going to recognize you.
He said, yes, what about in the plane when you're
already in a seat and you're you know, way up there,
(10:46):
it's still they'll be waiting for me when I get
off the plane. They'll Oh, you don't think with all
of us, were you all in the same flight. Yeah,
we were all in the same flight. You don't think
with all of us around you they could have put
the clothes together that it was you. And by the way,
well didn't stop Amy wearing a mask. Also, isn't that
what he wants? He wants attention yet, he said, But
(11:06):
here's the thing. When you're up in an airplane, you
don't want to be talking to people. You don't want
to deal with it. Oh you know, you might have
if I to take a picture. I'm just trying to
take a nap. People like, oh, that happens to you, Yes,
all the time. And oh you know if I don't
have my mask on, they're gonna be fighting over who
wants to sit next to me. And I'm like, man,
I don't want Randos sitting next to me. And you
don't think that they would have stopped Amy before you? No, no,
(11:28):
are you kidding me by any of us? Well, there
you have that's why I wear a mask? Is that
why didn't wear a mask? And at most I was
probably stopped three times exactly see three more than you
want to be. I mean, geez, what a hussand inconvenient
people call you big fans show. It wasn't like there's
(11:49):
anyone's getting trampled. I mean it could happen that way
where there's you know, when they say don't line up
at the front laboratory, it's gonna be don't line up

in Dallas, Warren and Karen have a dog named Slick.
He's nine. They rescued him and they walk them every evening,
(12:34):
same low run. It's a couple of blocks they go
back home. So just like clockwork, walcome back home walcome
back home, walcome back home. Well, one day, Slick will
not walk anymore. Like halfway through the walk, Slick stops
and just kind of digs in and so like, come on, Slick,
he will not go. They're like, okay, what is it.
So Slick starts to walk toward a house. Turns out
(12:54):
there's a guy in the porch, a really old guy
in the porch, you had a stroke who was trying
to crawl out of the house because he wasn't able
to call anyone or get to the phone. And so
Slick saw him. They ran over to him. He was
a Vietnam veteran, and they're able to get to him,
call the ambulance. They got him to the hospital and
he was okay. But had the dog not seen him
(13:15):
and like kept pulling them that direction. Who knows what
happened to the guy. Yeah, it says the neighbor had
suffered a stroke and it's been all day crawling through
the house and out the front door trying to get
out of the house for somebody to see him. But Slick,

all the time on TV, but most Americans say they've
(14:44):
never found themselves in this situation. What is it that is?
You're never gonna get a question? Let's put on Jeff
in North Carolina. Who's on the phone. Good morning, Jeff,
how's it going? Buddy? Good morning, Bobby, good morning? All right,
you got Jeff here, got a chance to win a prize? Jeff,
(15:06):
Here is the question that you get to answer yourself.
You see it all the time on TV, but most
Americans say they've never found themselves in this situation. What
is it? So think about that. Now you can have
multiple chances to win, Jeff, but you get it by
yourself first. Oh wow, do it all the time on TV,
(15:27):
but never find the build in this situation. I don't know. Okay, Well,
just throw an answer out there. I don't care how
right or wrong it is. Okay, being without Okay, that's
a pretty good answer. No, that's a good one that
(15:49):
every show I watch, every show commercials Um, that is
not the answer, but I appreciate you giving me something there,
So that's incorrect. Now you can still win if one
of the show members. Get it right? Oh, I got it.
Now your options are Amy, Lunchbox, Eddie or Morgan. So
(16:11):
you got I know Amy's usually pretty good at this game,
and I know Eddie's pretty good at it too. Ter Lunchbox,
I love you, but I don't know, man, Sometimes you're
not right on. Well, I'm on this one. I think
you're on this one. Yeah, I think I'm wonna go
with miss Amy. Okay. I don't think Edie's ever got one.
(16:34):
I just think you win most games, so people think
you're good at this, and Morgan's actually pretty good at this. Okay,
here we go. Amy, you have yours. You see it
on TV. But most Americans that they've never found themselves
in this situation. What is it? Amy in a helicopter? Okay,
Lunchbox in court, Eddie hanging on to a side of
the building. See it all the time. I've never done that, Morgan. Oh,
(16:59):
witness to a crime? Okay, so not bad. Jeff went
with Amy and yours was in a helicopter. Yeah, that's terrible.
It's watching a lot of magnum p I what are
you watching, mash Hey, there's always a helicopter. The Bachelor

but you're just wrong. Uh, Jeff, Jeff feels dumb? No, alright, Jeff?
All right, Jeff. So here's your final chance to win this.
You still can win. Okay. I'm gonna give you a
yes or no questions fifty fifty Do you think one
of the other three got it right? You can say
(17:49):
yes and you have all three of their answers, or
you can say no, and if they all miss it,
you win. Yeah, that one of them. Yeah, you're right.
Do you think right? Yeah? Absolutely? It's me or m two.
We don't think mine's right now. Yours is dumb? Okay.
Hanging to the side of a building. You see it
on TV all the time? No, you don't. Maybe maybe
(18:10):
the show you see it all the time, But most
Americans said they never found themselves a situation hanging on
aside the building. Wrong, Oh and stupid. Yeah, that's why
I never get it. All right, Well, we're down to two. Man,
I think I got it? You do I do what's
yours again? In court? Man? No, everybody goes to court
(18:30):
on TV. Every show there's a court, and a lot
of Americans go to court. I don't think a lot
of American house right now. And Morgan's is similar though,
it's like right crime, yeah to a crime. Hey, I
in this room. If you've been a court, I been
the court, haven't been at work. You haven't been to
court to see Eddi's kids. Gonna that count? No, that
(18:51):
doesn't count. No, you gotta be tried for a Crista bean.
I've also been in that juror. That don't count. That okay?
And I would say he's been tried, okay? Um, Morgan, Yes,
yours is wrong. You feel so dumb, Jeff, it's not you. Hey, Jeff,
(19:11):
I'm gonna give you a chance or to back out
of this. Jeff. No, it comes down to lunchbox. He
either has it and if he gets it, you can win.
Or if you say I do not believe in lunchbox,
you can win. I don't believe in lunchbox. Got it? Okay?
So you're gonna go against me three times? You I
mean pull me once, shame on, you pull me twice
shame on you? Does I mean this, dude, what was
(19:34):
he gonna win? What was he gonna win? Because he
just lost? I mean, I'm kind of feeling like, if
there is a court scene, there's also probably a helicopter scene.
In a helicopter, and any there's no helicopter, there's no
hang outside of a building, even if you try to
get out. Jeff, I feel so bad for you today. Man,
I would like I said it, Jeff before I give
you this hand. Jeff, I try to tell you from
(19:55):
the beginning I'm on this one, and you're like, man,
I don't know, you're an idiot, and you went with
miss Amy and then you said, nah, I don't believe
in Lunchbox. One day you're going to realize that you
need to listen to me when I speak, because I
speak truth and I speak knowledge, and I try to lead.
You can lead a horse to water, right now. You
can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach
them to drink, right, Bobby, make a drink? All right, Jeff,
(20:16):
you've chosen. I'll give you one more chance. Do you
want to go with Lunchbox to stay off of him?
I'm gonna stay off you better get Jeff. You know
you want him on you. Yeah, you better get on me,
Jeff boy. All right, So here we go. If the answer,
oh it is, it already is, it's court, lunchbox wins
and Jeff loses. If it's anything other than court, Jeff
(20:40):
wins a fifty dollars Sonic gift cars. Jokes on, Jeffy,
we'll give a lunchbox to card. Yeah, most Americans that
have never found themselves in a situation what is that?
The answer is being a physical fight. Lunchboxer lose. I'm sorry, Jeff,
because yeah, yes, that fight. You gotta go to court. No,

I saw that you have posted announcement Senior coming on

(22:13):
on your Instagram. Yes, how do you know the Rock? Dude,
it's kind of weird. So you know the Rock has
real Nashville roots, like super Nashville roots. So he was like,
I think it went to mcgaviick. So he just keeps
his finger on the pulse of Nashville like he's just
like engulfed in the culture and I think like a
song of my random he came up on his play
It's like the most random occurrence ever. And somebody reached
(22:35):
ounds like yo, the Rock's gonna post saw a video
with one of your songs. I was like, please don't
play with me. It's like, I don't do that to me.
It was like, I swear to God, this was like
four or five years six years ago, and he sure did.
And ever since then we stayed in touch. Man, he
was the first person to congratulate me whenever I got
invited to the Grand Old Obry and he congratulated you.
How he sent me a voice He sends like the
(22:56):
voice memos. That's like his thing. You know, he'll like
the voice my mom from the rock. Yeah, yeah, for sure,
I want to play it, but I don't want to
be that guy. Yeah. I mean I said, I listened
to it every now and then myself. It's like it's
like my pre workout before I go get drunk, because
I don't work out, so right before I go to
a bar, I'll listen to like a voice memo from
the Rocket Black. Let's go jelly rolls with us. Let's
(23:20):
talk about for the audience that hasn't come across your
music yet or who you are, Like, what's up with
the name jelly Roll, so I'm obviously looked the part.
And my mother named me that whenever I was a
little chubby kid. Been fat my whole life, and she
tried to calling me jelly Roll when I was young,
and I spent the next thirty years trying to grow
into the name. I think I've done it, and yeah,
(23:43):
just stuck. And then I had a guy in high
school that jokingly called me jelly Roll. He didn't know
that was my house name. And his name was one
Arm Clay and you won't believe it, but he had
one arm and one arm Clay was like, we should
call you jelly rolled. I'm one arm Clay and you'll
be jelly ro was like, my mama calls me jelly roll.
And then once the high school starts calling you something,
that's that's the kid in kaboodle. And so when did
you start doing music? I started writing songs whenever I
(24:05):
was like seven or eight. In the words of Brantley Gilbert,
I didn't know I could sing, but I knew I
could talk fast. So I wrote a lot of raps.
What did it for me was my mother stroll. First
of all, my mother follows this show, and she only
follows like six people, and I don't even think I'm
one of them. I think it's like my three aunts,
some dude that she shouldn't be following that has a
six pack in the Bobby Bones Show. So if you
(24:26):
want to put me on y'all's Instagram, that'll be fine.
Well we'll put you up there. But uh yeah, just
kind of just kind of came that way. So I
do want to play some of the song because it's
such a good song. This is called Son of a Singer,
and I'm gonna play it for you now from jelly
roll searching ways I can get go, I'm a battle
(24:50):
to the if you have the bride beat song. So
it's kind of a different approach from you from what
I've heard, Like this is very emotional you're singing. It's
I mean, it's a country song. Like, why create this
song in this way? Well, I had a record. I've
always wrote very cathartic music. My mother struggled with addictions
(25:15):
and mental health issues when I was younger. She's a
totally different woman now. But Bobby, she would listen to
music and it would change everything. You know. She'd put
old records on it smoked cigarettes and that old mumu
and sit at the kitchen table and just white trashes
could be just singing along to Bob Seeg or Wayland Jennings,
and I just remember thinking, Man, I want to make
music that makes people feel like this music makes my
(25:35):
mother feel. You know, had my mother had help from
a doctor, I might have been a surgeon and had
a six pack and been called slim totem or something.
But it's it just turned out the other way. So
I've always kind of wrote real songs for real People's
been my goal, and the country thing was just kind
of me leaning into my roots. I was born and
raised right here in Nashville. You know, it's every kid's
dream in Nashville to some sort to be a country
(25:57):
music artist. And it just kind of happened organically. Ernest
were in the studio about as high as a hippie,
about three sheets gone, and picked up a guitar and
there it went. When you played the opera, I think
it was in the last year twenty one, right, that'd
be a special moment, especially growing up here in Nashville. Yeah,
it's like not only the historic side of country music,
(26:18):
but it's the sight of like driving by there my
whole life, dude. I remember the grand old Opry House
from the Screaming Delta demon at Opery Land, at his
old school Nashville Talk before that whack mall was at
that mall sucks. Before that mall was there. It was
a theme park, you know what I mean. So we
would watch it from the theme park. Dude. It was
like I just remember as a kid, just thinking, man,
(26:39):
And yeah, it was just like a dream come true
on all fronts. Did your family think it was super
cool that you were performing in that circle? Oh yeah, dude.
My mother came, My whole family came. It was a
white trash bash, dude. We were all there. Everybody wore
their Sunday beasts. Man, you should have seen. I bought
a sports coat. It was big, dude. It's a big deal. Man.
My daughter got dressed up. It was huge for us.
We don't dress up like that for funerals or weddings.
I mean, it was that big of a deal. Are
(27:00):
you nervous? I'm nervous now. This whole thing is unreal.
Do you got a real I'm a kid that was
spenting most of his juvenile life in jail. Dude, you
are the Joe Rogan of country music. I am sitting
on this is I am here, you know what I mean.
It's like I was, do you think I'm nervous of
all this? You know, I don't want to cuss, but yeah,
this is all my nervousness makes me want to start
spouting out of the mouth. What is it about now
(27:22):
that I mean? Because you're I'll just say, you're kind
of blowing up more mainstream than ever. Like, what is
it about this chapter of your life that is creating
this for you? Now? I think it's the ten year
overnight success store, right, it's the kid that slept in
a van and did two hundred and thirty shows a
year for one hundred dollars a show. Dude, I used
(27:43):
to open up for a pack of bubble gum and
a bag of bud you know what I mean. So
it's like, I think it's just years of writing a
thousand songs and thousands of songs and just kind of
coming here and I don't know, I think it's getting
the opportunity to sit in places like this and tell
my story. That's probably helping the most, because when you
look at me you don't expect to hear from me
what you hear, you know, So what is your story?
(28:03):
I mean if someone said, hey, man, we're thinking about
doing a book with you, right, are you considering it?
I well, let's let's hear your stories. What is and
you know you can tight it up a bit, But
what is your story that you think inspire so many people?
I want y'all to be clear. Bobby Bundle will just
signed me to a book publishing deal on this show, y'all.
So in a nutshell, I'm from Antiock, Tennessee. I grew
(28:23):
up in a middle lower class community. My father was
a hard working meat salesman. He round a meat company
called d Ford Sausage and dfort O Sale meets. It's
our family name on the Saddy book bets. My mother
struggle with addiction. I was the youngest of four. I
never controlled the radio. That's the reason that I make
the kind of music I make now. And at about
the age of fourteen, I started making a decision, series
(28:47):
of decisions that would lead to what we call the
revolving door of the judicial system. And I spent probably
twelve years in and out of that system, probably nine
years in three years out, you know, the old due
a year in three months home, two years in four
months home kind of thing. And I won't even talk
about the crimes because I don't think there's no glory
in them and I'm not proud of them. But it
(29:08):
is a part of my story, and it's also too
many to list on this show. But um yeah, man,
I had a Damascus Road experience in the old Baptist term.
On May twenty second, two thousand and eight, I was
at CS on Harden Place, right down the street from here.
I was in sell two twenty three, and a guard
knocked on my door and had told me that I
(29:28):
had had a daughter. And I knew that I had
heard that I had got a young woman pregnant during
one of my outs or ends, I guess in that case,
but I had. But when I was back in jail,
the baby was born, and I just remember thinking, man,
you know, I had a good father. He was a hustler,
but he was a really good man, and I was
I want to be a good father, you know, And
(29:50):
I didn't. I didn't have any skill sets. I'd never
had a job. I'm still to this day not qualified
to do much more. Than talk to you and sing.
And I was like, well, I know I can do music.
So I came home started selling CDs off of spindles
and mix tapes out of trunks and doing shows and
you know, selling a little bag of bud here and
there when I had too. But I've got away from
real criminal, nefarious activities, and uh yeah, it just kind
(30:13):
of led to here. And now I'm sitting here at
the Bobby Bone show, you know, ready to talk to
lunchbox about drinking tequila? Are you a big tequila drinker? Oh? Good?
Is that the drink boy? Listen, It's like when you
blow the whistle of a dog. Here's and he's the
only one in the room that hears it. Can we
are we shooting some? He got some? Not this? I thought,
(30:36):
this is where you bust out the bottom. Like well,
coincidently the Rocks sent us some tea. Mind. I was
gonna be like, yes, you have a lot of face tattoos.
Do how many on your face? I never counted. Well,
if I'm guessing, well, some of them connect. Right. When
you have to commit to your first face tattoo, is
that a big decision? I was too young to commit
to anything when I did that. For what it's worth,
(30:56):
what was the first one? I think I had the
cross and the tear dropping to say in time when
I was one of my stints on a state funded vacation.
Oh you had him done in prison? Oh yeah, I
doesn't seem safe. No, no, no, But it's that it's
the safest thing there. You think that's not safe. You
see the stuff that happens in prison, right there is
great a safety, buddy. Let me day that would pass
(31:18):
the commission, the CDC would have proved compared to the
other stuff happening in there. Well, you have a rose
up near your I do, above your left eye. It
connects down to what is that? It's a heart would
a locket, And at this point you've seen it so
many times it's probably just your face right. Well, I
see it backwards too, So you know you gotta think
when you're telling me somethings on. I don't know what
side what's on? You have one that goes down Bobby
(31:41):
Bones is reading man, Listen, I'm being real. I wanted
to describe audience. He also has one that's like a
straight line going down into his left eye. It comes
down below always the clown. Yeah, what's the word above
the eyebrow? My son? Noah, okay, yep, yeah. And this
is ignorance on my part. But we've always heard that
the tear drops like if you have a teardrop and
it's not filled in. Well, I'm just asking, I don't know, ignorance.
(32:05):
You can teach me. If it's not filled in, you
attempted to kill someone and unsuccessful. If it's filled in,
it was a success. No comment, that's why you don't.
I'm minor for the tears. Would never forget we should
see powerful jelly rolls in studio. By the way, is
(32:31):
which by the way, dead Man Walking number one rock
song as of today. I thought, that's why we're shooting
to Kilan. You muff the punt most added dead Man
Walking number one on the rock chart. Do we have
a clip of that ray? Same album? Here it is?
(32:53):
And you would you consider yourself first and foremost a
hip hop artist? No, no, no, dude, I consider myself
a singer song writer. I guess I just knew you
from doing hip hop first though, I know, ain't that crazy?
And it's you being a hip hop artist and then
the rock stuff and now the country stuff. But I
think that's that's the attitude, like you're just creating based
on what you feel. Just make just make real music
for real people. I call a therapeutic music byby. It's
(33:15):
just important. Some music's meant to be heard and some
music's meant to be felt, and I hyper focus on
making music to people can feel. You know. It's kind
of the Willie Nelson effect. I'm a he wasn't big,
but I'm a big, jovial guy in real life, you know,
kind of a hippie. But Willie wrote the saddest songs,
and I feel like that's kind of where when I
get in that studio, my wife calls it my uh
confessional booth. It's kind of my therapy. Do you ever
(33:36):
confessed something? And she's like, I didn't know that. No, no, no, dude,
we're best friends. Dude, I can't surprise that one with anything.
I wish I could surprise her. We've lost all surprise.
She helps me find bulls on my butt. I mean,
we're as close as you could be, boils on his butt,
Like they're so close. She'll look to find them than
the watch and watch a screaming at me, why thank you?
(33:58):
Like that. I was hoping it will. Is that that's
that real? Yes, sir, well no, in case Moody wants
to hit me in the head later. It depends on
who's as I mean, it looks loaded with diamonds, yes, sir,
like that is My wife bought me this back to her.
Shout out to my wife, Bunny. I love her to death.
And your wife's name is Bunny Bun and I e
and is that is like jelly roll Bunny? Or is
(34:21):
her name really Bunny? Her name is Bunny. Yeah, she
was Bunny before me. So you ever think about changing
your name officially to jelly roll so it could be
your legal name. I've thought about it, but I just
I don't you know, I don't like going, I don't
like paperwork. You probably could imagine. Yeah, I've considered making
Bones my real middle name so I can use it,
or if I run for office, I can officially use
it when you run for office? Can I be your
(34:43):
running mate? Did I get a book deal and a
running mate one show? I'm blown away by this. This
is more than I ever expected. What are your life
shows like? Like? Incredible? Okay, let me brag for a
second and I'm a humble guy, but man, we turn
that thing upside down. It is The live shows cover
everything from old classic rock to hip hop to country,
(35:05):
the soul. We do a little Motown in there. I mean,
it is an incredible show. It's a live band, two guitars,
bass DJ to keep the old school hip hop element
alive and well more of an MC than a DJ.
But he'll still scratch a little bit here and there. Drums.
We do it right. Adding a steel player this year.
It's gonna be fire. You're heading a steal player. We are.
That's awesome. We got a full blown country album in
(35:26):
the works. Baby, this wasn't this, you know, make no mistake.
It looks like a toe tap. But I'm gonna do
a cannonball in the country music bubba. I'm on the way.
I'm belly flopping. I saw that you and Branley are
doing some shows together. One of my favorite dudes on earth.
So how to Branley Gilbert. I guess he got in
touch with you and said, hey, come do some shows
with me. Yeah. He called me one night, which was
like the craziest call ever. But I kept hearing around town.
(35:48):
Hey man, you need to meet Branley Gilbert, man, y'all
look like y'all get in trouble and I love people
all get in trouble with And everybody kept telling him, hey,
have you met Jelly Roll? Y'all should meet, and he finally,
you know, I guess where the traveled. He called and
say I want to do some shows was next summer.
And what's crazy is I had done a podcast with
my wife a couple of years earlier, and I was like,
when it comes to doing shows, I think artists missed
(36:10):
the old school approach of like doing it for people
and doing it for the exposure. So I was like,
if this was two years ago, my wife's podcast three
years ago, I said, if Brandley Gilbert kid rockers Shined
Down called me, I would not even ask what the
amount of money was. I'd say, yes, I want to
go on tour with them. And I'm literally doing thirty
dates with Shine Down this year in like ten dates
with Brandley Gilbert. That's cool. Yeah, it was just a
(36:32):
complete manifestation. So I'm looking at you and you're in
black and you got the chains on and the face
tattoos and the Blaine. Do you know we've met before? Oh? Yeah, no, listen,
I tried to make them turn the golf cart around
and chase you. But we've met and I didn't want to.
I've met Jelly well playing golf before. Yeah. I was
texting to say, this is the most memory I have
(36:55):
was I was with Steve Hodgers from Sony right, and
he's like playing golf on a nice course. Yeah, yeah,
I didn't want to blogs fine, like I've seen Jelly
role playing in a nice golf course. Oh yeah, so
are you? Are you a big golfer? Well, I'm I'm
big in golf, but I am not a big golfer.
I'm not a good golfer, but I really and I
enjoy anything that you can have a cocktail at nine
am and people don't judge you. And golf is that sport.
(37:18):
We've all been out there with an old man that
ordered a jack and coke at eight fifteen in the morning.
Nobody says nothing that old man except that's awesome, right.
That only happens on tour and a golf course. You know,
when I saw you with a big record guy, what
are you guys talking about this project now? Or no,
we're just having life. No, I was already I'd already
signed with Broken Boat at that time, and we were
just you know, I love Hi, just man. He's a
(37:39):
good dude, and you know I've got a you know,
I'm just good dude. Man. He's fine to golf with.
We played good together. And I'll also gas him and
get him drunk on that back nine. And I think
people intentionally bring me out on days when they want
to get loose. Whenever you have to go to the
golf course though you know it's tucked in. He got
you nice because I saw you looking like a golfer. Yes, sir,
Does that feel foreign with the collared shirt? Oh? Yeah,
(38:00):
never look goof here. Yeah, I've never looked goof here. Man.
I'm telling you, I don't wear collar church for nothing,
but the opera. I didn't even wear them the court.
How many times do you think you've been to court? Oh? Fifty, easy,
one hundred. I couldn't even imagine. If we get serious
for a second, what would you say to a kid
now that's listening to this at fourteen fifteen years old,
that maybe is not growing up in the most ideal
(38:21):
situation and has to make some tough choices right now
like you did. Man, it's if we can get serious
about that subject. We're doing a show later in Nashville
this year, a big show, and I'm donating one hundred
percent of the money from the show to help build
a music program in the juvenile here in Davidson County.
And I'm matching it with my own money dollar for dollar.
So you're raising money and then matching the money you raise, Yes, sir,
(38:42):
I believe artists need to start stroking a check. Man.
I hate when artists just want to fundraise and they
don't want to reach in their old, precious bank account.
Put your money where your mouth is, you know. And
why is that important to you? Because I think these
kids when I was in juvenile Bobby, nobody ever came
to talk to me that I understood, right, God bless them.
The Gideons would come slide of Bible under the door.
And I appreciate that because I read that bibble of
(39:02):
a thousand times and they go, God bless you, young man.
But you know, it was an eighty year old dude
with a suit and tie that was disconnected by a door.
Nobody comes to and gives these kids hope. And I've
been to the adult prison and I've been to the
juvenile prison. The adult prison is full of a bunch
of grown mens who need to figure out a way
to break a cycle. The juvenile is full of a
bunch of young kids that don't think they know any better.
(39:23):
They don't know any better, you know. And I'm a
big advocate for justice reform because when I was sixteen,
I made a decision that I'm not proud of, but
ended up getting charged as an adult. And here I
stand in front of you, twenty years removed from that decision.
I'm not allowed to carry a firearm. I'm not allowed
to vote. I just had to fight tooth and nail
to get a passport. I'm missing millions of dollars in
Canada that I'll never be able to go get because
(39:45):
of a decision I made twenty years ago. I was
sixteen years old, dude. I mean, I don't know if
I can say this, but I hadn't even started sprouting
hair down there, you know, And here I was being
charged as a full blown adu. I couldn't buy a
pack of cigarettes, but you justified my criminal act is
enough to charge me as an adult. I'm super passionate
about that. These kids need chances, They need to see
(40:07):
outside of their environment. I have people right now, Bobby
that are from my neighborhood that never left my neighborhood.
They watch the Tennessee Titans on TV, and I call
them now that I'm successful. I'm like, I'll take you
to a game. They're like, no, I'm cool. I'm like,
you know that stadium's eleven minutes from your house. Never
seen it. They don't know anything past that environment. Nobody
ever comes through and tries to help these kids, man,
(40:28):
And that's what I'm the most passionate about, and that's
what I want to help with the most. And I'm
gonna put my money where my mouth is when it
comes to it. What about your kids? How do you
plan to be a good dad and use what you've
been through as an example to your kids. My daughter
is almost will be fourteen this month, and her mother
had got into about with heroin and had a rough
(40:50):
addiction and we ended up getting custed of her, her
and my wife eight or nine years ago. I have
my daughter all the time. She flies out on weekends.
I mean, I see her this morning on the way
to school. I'll be the first thing she sees when
she comes home from school, And to me, parenting is
just about honesty. You know, it's just about being really
honest and having an open dialogue. These kids are exposed
(41:12):
to stuff so much faster than we were because of
the Internet. Dude, back whenever I wanted to get a
little risky, I had to go put together pieces of magazines, right,
you know, I had to go find them in various spots.
You know, these kids are exposed to so much stuff,
and to me, it's just about being honest and having
a dialogue. My daughter is like, I call her my
little road dog. That's my little homie. You know, it's
(41:34):
my little best friend. And we talked like that, and
every now and then you gotta be dad, you gotta
growl and show your teeth. But ultimately it's just about
bringing her along the way and keeping as close as
you can, just kind of watching it grow. Sounds like
honesty is a massive part of who you are. Yeah,
you know, I lunch boxes met me outside of here.
The same guy that's sitting here, The same guy was there.
You know, where'd you guys meet? Well? Softball. We played
(41:55):
softball together and we drank a lot. We did it's facts.
So I was I was excited to bring this up.
Do you you play softball? You play golf? Yea, Where
are you doing the equestrian dude, I'm listen. I am
an athlete in an alcoholic's body. Bobby, I'm trying to
tell you, man, I have I had a bomb, didn't
(42:15):
I had a stayer, Dude. I had the most famous
base hit in celebrity softball history. I was one of
the celebrity a games. Yeah that's you. Guys are like
a secret league or something on Tuesday nights? Yeah? Yeah,
Can we bowled on Wednesdays? Come hang out. We'll talk
about that book. Jelly rolls here with us again. Congratulations,
like i'd been walking. Thank you a number one song,
(42:36):
it's great, Son of a Center again, most added at
country radio. And you have a whole country album coming out.
I do. Yeah. Me and Branley have been writing a lot.
Me in earnest. I got some stuff in the kettle pot. Man,
I'm cooking. Baby, We're gonna play a Son of a
Center now. But man, just appreciate you coming in. You know,
I think you gotta you have a great message. I
think you can speak to the people that you want
to speak to, and again, you're probably one of the
(42:57):
only people that can, you know, because unless you come
from something, you almost don't want to listen to people
lecture you. You know. I'm from a very small town
in Arkansas, and it's like people don't understand unless they've
experienced it, right. So I appreciate your message, and I
think you're probably reaching a lot of people when others
can't so, and you have to go through a lot
to actually get that message and gather those tools. But man,
(43:18):
it's good to see you here. I feel good, dude.
I'm a huge fan of the show. My mom is
a fan of the show. We're all like, this is
a big deal. Man. We're keeping up with the big
acting debut and I'm looking forward to drinking with Lunchbox again.
I'm totally in the know of this show. This isn't
I didn't do research on the way in. I literally
I've seen Luke Combs sitting this seat and I was like,
we're getting close. I'm bigger than Luke, but it looks
(43:40):
like he's comfortable in it. So now that I'm in
and I feel great, and I'd love to come back
and talk a Ken and one thing you're always going
to get from me, Bobby, for better or worse. It's
honest and real. And I do want to be a
voice for the voiceless. I do want to help the
people that you know the music's here to help. And
I think that's what music did for me to this day.
Music helps me through my darkest moments. You get three
(44:00):
minutes of songwriters to change the way people feel, or
to ride with them in the darkest moment or the
best moment of their life. And I take those three
minutes more than I more serious and I take anything
else in my life. I appreciate that. And at jelly
roll six one five, if you want to follow him.
I love my dogs. You probably love yours too, right,
I have two dogs. If you also have dogs that
(44:20):
you love so so much, now is the time to
make sure that you and your pets are set for
outdoors this spring. It's Bobby Bones. I love Tractor Supply.
That's why I'm telling you this. They have great values
on everything you need to keep your pet safe. Doghouses
just got a new one, kennels, invisible fencing, flee and
tick control. Trusted brands like Pets say frontline curesto safeguard.
(44:41):
They have it all your local. Tractors Supply also has
top pet food brands everyday, low prices on those, including
Puringa one Pedigree Science Diet for Health. One thing you'll
notice when you go to Tractor Supply is they have
so much more than you imagine. Heck, every time I go,
I'm surprised at everything they have. They even have on
site vet services, that's right, including vaccinations and micro chipping
(45:02):
at Tractor Supply. They also have prescription medications, heartworm shoes, supplements,
and an even larger selection. Attractor Supply dot com convenient
ways to shop, same day delivery and curbside pickup. Shop
now online, in store, and on the Tractor Supply app.
So make sure you put your food in the fridge
within an hour of eating, even more so during the
summer months because dairy and meat are especially prone to
(45:24):
bacteria growth in the summer. So it just it heads
up if you leave stuff out. Don't you gotta put
it in quicker in the summer. Yeah, that's what it says. Here.
There was another story because I don't like my steak
rare and I like steak, I don't need a lot
of red meat. But but but when I do, it's beef.
But I don't like mistake rare. I like it. I've
(45:44):
started to say, now I like it a little more
than medium. Wait as I want to say, because there's
medium and there's medium. Well right, yes, and if you
go into the medium well area, they start to go,
are you sure? But I like it a little more
than medium, all like any pink at all. And so
when you cut it, some times I would see like
blood come out or the red stuff that's not blood.
The bloody look if you get it meat like even less.
(46:05):
Medium rare is a result of the protein. Whenever that
mixes with oxygen, it turns red really, so it's not blood.
It's not I always and it never looked like straight blood,
but it was so red. I would be like, oh,
that's weird. We always called that bloody because it looks
like that. I don't like that rare stuff. I asked
for a one under my breath at every stake place,
(46:26):
and they don't like that. Well, it depends like if
if the rate, if the waiters kind of a hillbilly
and he understands like me, he's already got one in
his pocket. In Austin, we went and we had dinner
and went to a pretty nice place. It was the
only place on open table we could get into. We
didn't actually know how nice it was. So we got
there were way under dressed, but so they put us
in like a corner. I think some people wouldn't see us.
And I was like, hey, man, do you have a
(46:47):
Can I get some? Get some a one? And he's
like yeah. I felt that it was kind of like
I was buying drugs, except I never bought drugs. I
felt like that's what it would be like. And so
I brought me a one, but in a secret little
tub nice and it's good. I love a one. That
is That's that's where it's. It's that Amy's pile of stories.
So there's this kiddies in college now, but he's sharing
(47:09):
a story from when he was sixteen in case it
might help save someone's life. He was eating cereal dry.
It's the only way he likes seated. No milk can't
handle it gets too soggy. But he was inhaling it
pretty fast and oh, a piece of cereal like went
Downstro kind of struggled to get down and he had
a chest pain for about thirty minutes, but it, you know,
sort of went away. He didn't think anything of it. Well,
(47:30):
then his dad ended up getting this crazy ear infection.
It was going to the ear, so I said, hey, buddy,
just just come with me to the ear because let's
get this thing checked out. Like a bogo and a
piece of cereal. He inhaled it and it went and
punctured his lung and it was in there and he
ended up being in the hospital for five days. So
(47:51):
what's the moral of this. The moral of the story is,
don't inhale dry cereal. But I think anything dry sere
all the time, exactly. But I don't give with a
ball or a spoon. I just eat it with my
hand like, oh, you guys like os so good. It's
honeys the greatest hand cereal ever, Yes, and so, but
(48:12):
I don't do this when I eat it. Did you know?
Lunchbox thought that there was only one hole that went
down your throat. Oh no, there's two. No, it's a throat. No,
there's but there's the there's the food and water holes.
And that's how if you go down the air hole,
that's how you can injure the lunge because everybody's like, oh,
(48:32):
that one down the wrong hole, and I'm like, there's
only one hole. Gun You think there's just one big
throat hole and everything just goes like yeah, okay, oh hey,
I don't hate you for it. It's but there there
are two. It's just weird to me how the body
knows which one to send it down. Yeah. Yeah, there
are two trapdoors. Which one? Um, okay, So just take
(48:53):
time when you eat, that's what you're saying, like, yes,
don't inhale, and then if if you feel something going wrong,
just go get it checked out to be safe. Because
who knows is that because we hear of things that
get stuck inside people for like thirty years. So good
thing is Dad had to go to the yard. Yeah.
The trachya, that's right, that's the air one, the air one, yeah,
and esophagus is the food one, and they're right beside
(49:14):
each other. Launch box huh. Yeah. The esophagus connects the
throat to the stomach. That's like that dry that's that's
that highway and the other one is the lungs man.
Because I only feel, you know what I hear right now,
Doctor Bobby Bones coming out, Yeah, premed, all right? What else? So,
(49:35):
if you're trying to choose a baby name, I saw
some tricks and one of them is pretty clever, and
it's called the Starbucks trick. Pretty much, if you're testing
out names, next time you go to Starbucks, instead of
using your own name, use the name that you're thinking
about naming your kid and see if they can get
it right. And if it's too complicated, then you know
you might want to or go that one. Um, can
they pronounce your order? How do they react when they
(49:56):
hear the name? So this is being dubbed the Starbucks trick.
And then I saw the Social Security Office put out
a list of like baby names that are coming back
in style from back in the day, like Mabel and
Clementine and for boys like Valentino. Interesting, well, all the
old names are becoming new again because we haven't used
them on a long time. I'm a big fan of Herbert.
I'll be honest with you. That would be Herbie too, right,
(50:19):
maybe herbe Herbert, Herb Herbie. I like Herbert. I think
that's a good name. You've run that one by, Kaylin, Nope,
because you won't like it. Reba McIntyre shared an update
on her Oklahoma based restaurant. It's going to be called
Reba's Place. She announced last year that it was going
to be happening, so it'll open later this year and
she's been testing out things with the chef. But you
(50:41):
can expect things like steak, cheeseburgers, beans, corn bread, chicken fingers,
and she's super excited for people to come to Oklahoma
and check out Reba's Place. Where in Oklahoma the whole
state show be like, where's ribas Atoka? Is that how
you say it? I don't know. I guess it's at
three nights in East Court Street at tooka. Hey, you
want to know where? Well, there we got him, Amy.

So back in the day, Susan had to put off
her education because she became a mom early in life.
She didn't finish high school. Well, at age twenty nine,
she went back and got that degree, and then now
at forty eight, she's getting her college degree alongside her
twenty one year old daughter. Oh wow. Yeah. So she
majored in early education and then her daughter majored in biology,
(51:52):
and it's just super cool that they're taking this step
in life together. And she has some advice for others.
She said, hesitation holds you back, but you have to
keep stern and keep pressing. And that is just what
she did. That's pretty cool, pretty family moment for them
both graduating at the same time. When I was in college,
we had a lady who was probably in her fifties
or sixties in our college classes and she was awesome.
(52:14):
We loved her. Well, they always study better because they
know so smart. Non traditional students. You always wanted to
be in the same group with either them or me
because you knew we were going to do all the work.
But they were because they actually understood what they had.
Because we're going to college the first time, you're kind
of like, this is awesome. It's fun. I don't have
study as much, but good for them. That is what
it's all about. That was tell me something good.
