Speaker 1 (00:02):
Everybody transmitting across America. Jes show. Yeah, welcome, welcome studio. Hey,
Colleen and St. Louis. Good morning to you. Hi. I'm
so excited to talk to you. I listened every morning.
Thank you very much. Well, what would you like to say? Well,
(00:24):
this is kind of random, but I just want to say,
you guys need to stop pick him on Eddie about
being a helicopter dad. He sounds like a great dad
And we only get one shot at this parent thing,
and he's trying to do the best he can. And
someday they're going to be big, loppy, grown as teenagers
and he won't have any control. And I just think
he sounds like the best daddy and he's just trying
(00:46):
to protect his kids. I love it, Colleen, Eddie caller
of the day. We just started the show. Colleen, may
I offer you a rebuttal. Oh don't disagree with colleenbutal
just in fairness, if we ever pick on anyone on
(01:09):
this show, it's because we feel so comfortable with them
that we feel like we can playfully make fun of them. Ever,
that's if they're making fun of me. Although you guys
do get on me a little too hard. Sometimes I
feel sometimes we do, but that's okay. If we make
fun of each other, it's really just out of love.
If it were if it was really angry, we just
wouldn't do it. They would be at like all sincerity,
(01:29):
they be out of the room. So anytime you hear
that's messing, that's what it is. It's messing with each other. Okay, Well,
I don't understand this helicopter parents thing because I'm let
me tell you, someday you won't have any control and
if you need to modern I snooped and snooped and
oh god, well I believe you. But I'm just saying
(01:50):
we messed with anybody on this show. That's what Hey, Bill, listen, Colleen,
I appreciate you recognizing people do cool things. He gets
SA Maritan named Tony approached Taguan Langley, who was parked
in her car to McDonald's, and he said, hey, your
tires are when i'm flat, So you don't want to
(02:13):
give you She said, listen, my tires are bad, thank
you very much, and so she said we can get
a repair about how the money to get him prepaired.
So he said, hey, follow me, and they went over
to the bridge don't tire any, paid her bucks and
bought any tires and bailed out. I was like, that's it.
I just thought you could use this. That's awesome. I
just went up to her said hey, didn't give a flash.
She goes, hey, now my tires are bad. He said, hey,
(02:36):
she can't four the boom. Next thing you know, he
bought her new tires and then he disappeared into the
north poles. He turned his circle and glitter fell and
there you go. That's an I see you, and that's
pretty awesome. Bobby Bones Show, Big Story. It's producer Raymond
in Arlington, Virginia, at a military base. At least eleven
(02:57):
people reportedly suffered minor injuries. They had burning sensations in
their nose. They opened a letter that had a suspicious
material in it. Authorities are still investigating the situation. In
airline news, United Airlines flight from Newark to l A
was forced to make an emergency landing pilot's notice smoke
in the cockpit. The plane did land safely and there
(03:17):
were no injuries. And finally, in weather news, tons of
rain from Texas to Maine today and tomorrow strong storms
in Arkansas as well. Careful on those roads. Let's go
training the story about the average age that people get married.
What do you think the average age of a groom is?
(03:39):
The man one see, when I read this, I feel
like maybe I'm not that out of touch. I got
thirty seven, So I go, that's not crazy. I always
feel like I'm just lost, gone out there, just there's
no hope. Sometimes I feel like there's no hope. I'm
thirty seven. That's not absolutely nuts compared to this. So
it's an article on read It where they talked about
(04:00):
the average people are getting married. The average age of
a bride is twenty nine. The average age of a
groom is thirty one. Couple spent an average of thirty
three tho dollars on their weddings. That's the average. People
are spending way more than that. Yeah, but half of
that goes to the venue. M okay, I can't believe
(04:22):
a place costs that much. And weddings are not focused
on guests more because couples are doing all these things
to make it is super memorable experience for the attendees
because no one wants to have a bad wedding, so
they're just trying to put on a show. For everybody
else more than themselves, because now there's hashtags and people
can check out what kind of a night it was.
Hashtags are free at least, well, I know, but you've
(04:42):
got to make sure if people click on the hashtag,
looks like it was a good time. You know. I
didn't think about it like that. Yes, spending on guest
entertainments triple in the last few years. Photo boots, sparklers,
selfie stations, the music that comes in. You know, it's
just I think about that part of it. I probably
get that free. What do you mean, I'm probably just
(05:05):
gonna ask a friend one of these my buddies use
the artist to come and play a song or two.
Oh well, yeah you have that, you have access. Yeah,
save money already. I canna do it in the radio station.
Oh yeah, alright here on the air. Have it sponsored you,
you know, Napa Dollar Shape Club. We're gonna rock this thing.
Make money. Getting married. Actually, yes, now we're talking. I
(05:28):
just have a sponsored but yeah, I do. Image can
actually laser me during the wedding catered by Blue Apron. Yes,
for sure, I'm never gonna get married, so we can
make But I did think that since the average mail
was thirty one that that didn't make me seem such
an alien, because I do feel like an alien sometimes. Yeah. No,
(05:48):
they're still hope you're good. Thank you very much. I mean, yeah,
look at George Clooney. Yeah, but look at George Clooney.
I rest my case. Thank you very much. Time for
your positivity. They'll tell me something good. A Colorado couple
who had a three million dollar jackpot November. They're celebrating
(06:12):
again after winning a two hundred thousand dollar jack a
few months ago. The Colorado Lottery identify as a couple
as Paul M. And Chris and now they've won three million.
Two oh. So A mom was on a flight from
Hawaii to l a x long flight by herself, but
(06:34):
with a toddler and a baby, and her baby was screaming, crying.
There's nothing she could do the calm the baby down,
walking up and down the aisle. So flight attendant went
up turn and said, you know, what do you mind
if I give it a try. Mom was a little reluctant,
but she was at her wits ends, and she handed
the baby over and the flight attendant was able to
soothe the baby and get it to sleep. So the
(06:54):
entire plane was like, yeah, hold back up its attendant
to go above and beyond lunch box. Kate was looking
for a cool way to ask his dude Brian to prom,
so she took to Twitter because she knew he's a
big Steelers fan. She reached out to one of the
wide receivers on the Steelers and said, hey, can you
help me asking the prom? Juju Smith Schuster said yeah,
(07:16):
give me his number face tinam and said hey, Brian,
why don't you go to prom with Kate? And Brian said, yeah, yeah,
that's pretty cool. That's cool. That's cool him to do that.
What's his name, Juju Smith Schuster, not Clinton hat Dicks.
That's another cool name. Yeah, I wish I was my name.
(07:38):
Make another radio navy ha bones. Okay, there you go.
That's good news. There's a woman who spent nineteen dollars
on a kidney transplant for a cat. That's that's that's
a lot of love that cat right there. The cats
seventeen years old too. It's almost like giving a ninety
(08:01):
seven year old man a new foot. Yeah, and so
here's where my mind goes to this. I don't ever
want to tell people do with their own money. Now.
I start to weigh it, though, because if I'm a
multi multimillionaire and I love this cat, dollars really doesn't
affect me that much. So I want to know how
much she makes. If I'm broken, I'm taken out a
(08:24):
loan for this. But even then, again, it's not my money.
I can have an opinion, but it's not right because
it's not my money. Betsy boy, it is her name.
She earns forty six tho dollars a year as a
part time writing professor, and she and you know what,
if she loves something that much and she can afford it,
do it. I just can't hate on somebody who loves something.
(08:45):
It's crazy, it is crazy to go. But I feel
like she's just a lonely woman and just can't let
go over cat. And isn't that okay? Though? No, get
another cat. I don't think it's easy. It's and I
don't know cats. Can they live me? Dirty? No? No,
(09:06):
I don't know how long they live neither, but it's
gonna be rosting or or dies in surgery, you know what.
I'm still I want to hurt tell my team cat
can't cat downhead today. This story comes up from Edgewater, Florida.
(09:30):
A man went outside because he wanted to MOA's lawn,
but he couldn't find his lawnmoor and he goes, I
know it. The neighbor stole it. I can feel it
in my gut. So instead of going over knocking on
the door or call the cops, he lit the corvette
on fire. Oh wow, it turns out the lawnmar was
in his backyard. Oh double wow. Before you do stuff
(09:52):
like that, now, you just shoudn't life people's cars on fire. Yeah,
I'm much boxed at your bone head story of the day.
I want a bonehead. Get your bobbed. By the way,
lunch Box said he's really looking forward to Survivor the
new season. Huh oh yeah, tonight, can't wait. You love
that show still, huh. Let me tell you it is
so good, Bobby, you would love it. It's all about
strategy and gameplay and stabbing people in the back, and
(10:15):
it's just it's a very smart person game. I've seen
it before. It's been not for thirty years, maybe not
thirty years, like thirty seasons, maybe twenty six seasons something
like that. But this one is called Survivor Ghost Island.
Lunch Box send me a note, and he said I'd
like to do a segment. I was like, what's that segment?
He goes, it's called I'm looking forward to and I
want to talk about Survivor. That's okay, cool, I mean,
(10:37):
whatever you want, man, But no, he wants to do
a segment. We go around the room say I'm looking
forward to blank. I think it's pretty good segment because
people have to have things they're looking forward to their life.
I'm not hating on you at all. Thank you. Eddie
was heading a little bit, a little bit, all right,
So I'm looking forward to Blank. Lunch Box says, I
am looking forward to Survivor Ghost Island. Amy, I'm looking
forward to spring break for the kids, yeah, or for
(10:58):
you. You You gotta leave them and you go. I'll still
be working, right because this is my first spring break
with kids, so I don't really know. But yeah, we
work every spring break, so we work. We're not taking anything,
so we're not gonna really go anywhere. But I think
my husband are going to try to plan some day
trips for them, you know, but then I'll come back
for work. Don't worry. Spring break sort of. So looking
(11:20):
forward to from me Eddie our producer. Ready summer, the heat, beach,
the waves. Do guys like I can't wait for the
warmth sun to come out? What about you? I'm looking
forward to going back on the road doing stand up comedy.
I haven't been on the road in two months, so
I start back in March. Oh, big, big time. I
(11:43):
ordered some stuff for the stage to no yeah, yeah,
so I'm excited like Pyro, or it's not Pyro, but
it's something cool that's it's on the stage. It just
makes it a little more official. So yeah, you never
(12:03):
putting dry us in a bucket back there for smoke.
But if you're in Tampa or Florence, South Carolina, or Albuquerque,
Colorado Springs, I'm coming, hopefully, I'm coming. I'm coming in
Yeah Bobby Bones Comedy dot Com Where all the tickets
are Bobby Bones Comedy dot Com. Right, you're looking forward
to March Madness, baby, Yeah, it's coming to Nashville this year. Yeah,
(12:24):
first and second around, I gotta log traffic middle of March,
mark anything happening in town. It's all about traffic. With
Amy yesterday, We're like, hey, the vice presidents coming to town. Great, Like, wow,
just traffic. I'm always like, if there's soccer tournaments, the
Titans have a game, the Preads have a game. You
just gotta know where you're going, what time everything is,
and you can navigate. Because one time Trump came to town,
(12:47):
I was gonna be late to work. I didn't know
the President was in town, and I was like, why
am I stuck in traffic right now? Almost was late?
You don't like that. Bobby Morgan number two are twenty
four year old. She was talking about snapchat dysmorphia. Have
you heard of the name I have? It's a thing.
Oh you know more, I can tell everybody else. So essentially,
(13:09):
it's people using Snapchat filters and they're telling their doctors
what they want based on Snapchat filters for plastic surgery
to become the filters. So they filter their face and
it makes you look beautiful, and they take that shot
into the doctor and they go, make me look at
the Snapchat filter. That's insane. Well so, at least, though
I'm kind of saying, at least it's a version of themselves.
(13:33):
Ish doctors were saying they got people bringing in Kim
Kardashian or whomever, being like, make me look like Kim.
But now it's like, make me look like my filtered self.
That's still crazy. The first person to do that, they
go into the doctor with the picture of themselves with
the filter. They're like, doctor, make me look like there's
(13:53):
the hard eyes. Filters are amazing, and they're addicting, and
they're scary. And some of the puppy tongue on me
dr with a little ears in the smooth skin. Yeah,
it's I mean, And I don't want to be a
kid these days. I do too old, too fast man.
(14:15):
Here are my favorite three songs right now. People often
ask for my musical taste, and I am America's mentor,
you know, am so I'd like to share my music
with them. I know I'm going to write them down.
Song number one. I have three songs I really love
right now David Lee Murphy, Everything's gonna be all right,
here's this one. Here is going to be Everything's going
(14:38):
to be. I go to Dad. I love Conan and
car Muffin fits in so many songs. Yeah, turn it up,
it's going to be O all right, all right, Canny
(15:04):

dropped a few butts in the mace. John built those
good old knee Okay, how about this one. This is
Anderson East who's going to be performing in studio tomorrow.
I love the whole record, but here's uh, if you
keep leaving me, hit that one. It's a good song,
you believe me. I love the record. I love this song.
(15:33):
By the way, I saw him Randal I ever broke
up that they did? Whoa, Yeah, I don't know any
think about it. We can't bring it out up tomorrow. Well,
I don't care. I don't care to bring it up.
I know you wouldn't have even brought it up they
were together, so we definitely shouldn't bring it up, especially
if it's fresh. Yeah. I don't know much about it,
but he's coming in tomorrow. I love the album. Yeah,
(15:54):
I just saw that last night. And then finally Dave
Barnes and I love this whole record. And Dave Barnes
wrote God Gave Me You that Blake Shelton saying he
wrote Craving You from Marion Morris And this is Dave Barnes.
You hear that song Jason Dreams Dream Dream Dream Jason.
(16:15):
It's called Chasing Dreams. He came in with Kelsey Mallerini.
Remember during our st Jude Radiothon and Kelsey did God
Gave Me You, which he wrote and you can't play
guitar with her. Yeah, so we've met him briefly. He
did my Bobby cast. I'm gonna but that whole record
is good. That's what I'm listening to you right now. Hey,
what's this still about Amy's elephant titis and your thumb?
(16:39):
I don't know my thumbs growing like it's subtle. You
wouldn't know it, but I mean I showed it to
Mike deep Morgan number two. Look at my thumb. Yeah,
it's it's huge compared to the other one. It's just growing.
I don't know what's happening, and it's sort of painful,
but it's just hold on, hold on. Don't you think
it maybe just swelling instead of growing? But why what
I do to it? Bye? I mean, there are a
(17:01):
lot of variables and I don't see a bite. It's
just starting. Like I'm gonna be concerned pretty much. You
know how we google things, so basically I'm probably gonna
have to amputate with them. And so you googled in
it eleph elmatitis and your thumb. Yeah, it's gonna get
really big, to the point where I can't write. Look
at look at the thumb, munchbox, Tell me what's wrong
with it? M bigger? Oh man, that is really bad?
(17:24):
Diagnosed me. Look, it's getting bigger? Is it really like?
W one is bigger? My good? The one was bigger. Yeah,
you're good. You're good. I mean it made me a
little red. It's not he's I'm wor I'm worried about
his vision. Okay, stop with the hands an Oh did
you hear that? Yeah, you popped your knuckles. Popped your knuckles.
(17:46):
That's the elephant. Titus's thirty second skinny. Happy birthday to
Jason al Dean Today he turns forty one years young. Uh,
you feel like Jason now he's older than that. No,
I don't. I feel like he's younger than that. Really,
why you he's kind of ageless to me. Yeah, his skin.
(18:10):
I feel like he almost looks younger than he did
five years ago. Yeah, I just want to sign an
age to him. He's all the earrings and the hats
and accessories kind of keep him from aging. What that
happens with me? What else? Paul Walker is getting his
own documentary called I Am Paul Walker. You know, he
passed away in two thousand thirteen from a crazy car crash,
(18:32):
and the documentary is just going to have an in
depth look into his life, his acting. It's behind from
the same people that did Heath Ledger and John F.
Kennedy Jr. Yeah. The Heath Ledger one was sad. I
saw that one. Oh I haven't seen it. Would you
recommend it? Yeah? It's sad. Okay, I'm interested in the
JFK one. I'm not. I don't think about JFK JR. JFK.
(18:55):
You know what I want to see is that Versacchi
set of TV shows and yeah, it's the same people
who no, no, no, the same people who did the O. J.
Simpson documentary The Real They did a Sacchi the Murder
of Versaci. Yeah, oh, I want to see that. And
you know what came out I believe yesterday was the
Tupac in Biggie Murderer show on any or TNT one
(19:18):
of those channels. Yeah. A lot of good stuff out there. Okay,
is that it? Yep? It made me. That's your thirty
seconds skinny, Morning Corny. Why didn't the policeman want to
get out of bed? Why didn't the policeman want to
get out of bed? Because there's an undercover cop? Thank you?
There you go. That was the Morning Corny on the
(19:44):
Bobby Bones Show. Now, hey man, where do we start?
What's up? Man? There's just a lot going on with
you right now? There's a lot going on. I feel
like a couple of things. One in the last year,
so you and I've gotten to be better friends, and
we already were personally, but also listen to your podcast
(20:05):
and I learned so much about you on that podcast
too that I feel like I know you even more
than I should. Yeah, you know, I mean, are you
feeling that for the podcast? People go, dude, I didn't
know this about you. Yeah. I like the uh. I
like the fact that I can kind of I'm a
pretty open book anyways with most of my life. That
it's it's kind of nice to open up a little
more um on just with the people that are involved
in my life, not so much me all the time.
(20:27):
I get to talk to other people that inspire me,
So I like that aspect of it. Jake Owens here,
it's got the Good Company podcast, got this new song
we've been playing every hour today, which, by the way,
I was Jack, you were Dyane every time. Wait, have
(20:50):
taught me through this for a second. So when you do,
how first of all, how does this all come together
in your mind? Uh? In my mind? Yeah, because if
you have this this song obviously Jack and Diane's in it,
because and it's called I was right, how does this
all comes a delicate situation? This song? Um? But it
was this whole story from a friend of mine that
(21:12):
it had started this song a few years ago and thought, man,
how do we use this track and actually get away
with it? Um? But the way the music has kind
of come Uh, they rewrote with Craig Wiseman. Craig happens
to be over there, big Loud. Obviously he threw me
the song and it was it was kind of full
circle the way that it came about. This wonder because
(21:33):
you go, man, what a risk to take a song
that's already been because you hear Jack and Diane so
heavily in the song title of it's Jack and Diane. Yeah,
that you gotta go. This is this is a big
By the way, I love the song I told you
that before you came in. But I just wonder how
your mind wraps that. Do you go forward? Is it
worth taking a big risk like this, You're starting at
(21:54):
a new label like all things. Yeah, I don't know.
I think life's about taking risks. And uh, I thought
about that the other day at I would not be
in Nashville if I didn't one day, for some weird reason,
call my parents on the phone, which is something I
talked about in that pot in one of my podcasts,
um to my dad. Actually, Um, I just remember one day,
I just had a feeling and I said, I'm as
(22:16):
much as I love Tallahassee and as much as I
loved playing bars with my friends and stuff in a
band and Tallahassee, I wanted something more. I want to
try something different. And uh I called my parents on
the phone and told him I was leaving Tallahassee and
moving to Nashville. And that was fourteen fifteen years ago.
So here we are today and putting a song out
like this. Yeah, it might be a little bit of
(22:36):
a risk or a chance, but to me, it's kind
of an ode to Jack and Diane the song originally
and for me growing up as a kid. I like
songs that make you feel young and and and and
songs that make you remember life. And uh that and
jack and Diane was the original song story of two
American kids growing up in the heartland. That's all still
(23:00):
feels good too when Jackie Diane comes on, took non
Chili Dog outside of this freeze like it's still the
jam to everybody. And when I heard the song, it
felt like a new warm blanket. Yeah, it was new.
It's like the cool side of the pillow. Well if
it's a new pillow, right, because it felt comfortable without
(23:22):
it being a new song that was having to adjust
to that made sense. It's still yeah. I know it
took me a minute to because I will. I'll be honest.
I think I told you this on a text. It
I had to be careful, you know. I don't want
to be the guy that's like, who, who's this guy
ruining this classic song? But um, I really was a
fan of the way that was written and uh and
(23:43):
I like the fact that it kind of pays homage
to that song it was back when you And I
like the whoever it is that people put themselves in
songs throughout life. They um. I was listening earlier today
to um uh Cole Swindell's new song about when Were
It Up in the End, and I thought, Wow, I
put myself in that song, I thought, and I've there's
(24:05):
been people I've been with in my life and and
I may probably go back and do it all over
to me where I am now. But it's so same
with this song. I mean, it's you put yourself as
a person in certain situations and songs, and uh, I
put myself in Jack and Diane, and I think this
is kind of back to when I was Jack and
you were dying. Is John Mellencamp a writer on this song?
He is. They gave him writer's credit, which they definitely
(24:25):
should have. I mean, this is his melody and everything.
But did you talk to him and get his I
haven't talked to him personally, but he did approve this message.
John Mellencamp approves this message. Yeah. Is that something that
they felt like they had to reach out to? Could
he have? They've done it anyway. I think it's it's
proper um. You know, it's the right thing to do.
(24:46):
And they did. They reached out to him and said,
you need to hear this. This is cool and and
to our surprise, actually uh he said yeah, he said
he loved it, and so, um, we're making the video
here pretty shortly. And he actually gave us a lot
of rights to use some of the original Jack and
Diane footage. That's really yeah, And so it's it's a
really cool it's a big deal, Jaco, and it is here.
(25:08):
I got this new song which I do like, and
I heard it the first time. I was on an
airplane listen song and I didn't reply back because I'm
on airplane. And then I forgot to apply for like
two days. And Jack's like, the songs sucks, don't you
know what you said? I was like, no, first off,
we'll back it up. We'll back it up. I've heard
(25:29):
you say multiple times, Man, you don't like to hear
songs earlier. I don't, But you want it the way
that everybody else gets to, like the people you know,
but didn't send you this radio people already getting it. Okay,
Well you text people like am I gonna get to
hear this song? Or was you already sent it out
to people? I haven't sent it to anyone, but radio
people all had it and it was like, hey, and
I know, and to be fair, I had heard it
already at the Music Summit they played it over the top. Yeah,
(25:51):
so right then you guys play this. Yeah, i'd heard
it already and I wanted, yeah, you can call me out,
but it's not the same because I've already heard it. Yeah. Well,
so I said it, and but you when you said
don't and I like the preface you said, hey, I'm
going into a meeting or something, I was shooting idol. Yeah,
so it was and I was like, hey, back, don't
don't take it personally. I didn't take it personally. I
(26:12):
just want to know what you thought. Yeah. I felt like,
I'm glad you like it. I do like and I
wouldn't one I told you I did. I actually love it. Thanks. Really,
I'm excited, I really am. This is a big time
in my life and like being with a new label.
I've got a new tour that we're getting ready to
kick off this summer um new music. It's just like
a different place in my life. My hair is getting
(26:32):
a little bit longer, you know. Uh yeah, man, lots
of things are good. I mean, I'm just I'm pretty.
I just feel I'm like a happy person. I've spend
most of my time now like searching for arrowheads out
on my farm, you know, free time and so on.
The Bobby Bones show. Now, by the way, when you
(26:54):
go out this year, you have Christianson out with you. Yes,
good dude, good dude, great entertainer. Yeah. He actually texted
me the other day and said, hey, man, I just
I want to let you know. It was after the
tour announcement came out. He said, thanks for having me out.
This is gonna be great, And I told him, I said, man, look,
I'm excited to have him out because of how much
better it'll make not not just myself but the guys
(27:18):
in the band, because of how great of what you
just said. He's a great entertainer. He's got a lot
of integrity with the kind of music he makes. But
when someone goes on before you and lights the stage
on fire, I mean it's hard to follow that. So
it's a good thing. I mean it's inspiring to have
him out there, so it'll be fun. We have Jordan
Davis Um with us as well, so he's got a
great beard. Uh so work, Yeah, how'd be good? What
(27:42):
else is it going on with you. Do you get
a new house do to move it from the one
you're selling on the internet? Dude, Yeah, I did. I
sold that house. I'm not lying to you. I live
in a tiny house right now. It's four square feet, um,
and I love it. It's maybe it's a legit tiny
house like from tiny house dot com. Yeah, I have
a time the house. So are you? Are you putting
(28:03):
your root in a joke? Are your roots in your
tiny house or that? Just am I? What? No? No, no,
So what happened is what had happened is I sold
my house, not thinking it was gonna sell that fast.
I put it on the market on a Monday. It's
sold on a Wednesday. They wanted to be in basically
by Christmas. So I'd already bought this piece of property, um,
(28:24):
which is really a dream for me because I've always
you know, moving up here. I thought, if I ever
get to the point around my own piece of property,
and it's just like a place I could raise my
family and daughter or whatever. And I have that now.
But what I don't have on it is a place
to live until I build it, which that takes time.
But I looked into those tiny homes and got one
out there. They drive it out to you. Yeah. Yeah,
(28:47):
it was like it's amazing to see your house like
coming at you, you know what I mean, Like it's
like coming down the road right towards you and uh
put in there. I literally I have a little couch. Um.
Literally it's not tiny though, I know, but I gotta
I don't know, I've just it's really I don't know.
(29:07):
I like going through scenarios like this in my life.
It teaches me like certain things. And uh, I realized.
I mean I have a lot of I had a
lot of junk that I just acquired over years, and
now I don't really I don't have all that. By
the way I say this, I do this podcast from
my house and we have a hundred at some episode,
everybody from Stapleton to Karen Fairchild, I mean, the biggest writers.
(29:33):
You were far and away the like five times the
next person, hundreds of thousands of downloads. Why of the
podcast when you and I when you came to my house, Well,
because we got into a huge fight and it wasn't
a fight though, man. And That's what I've always enjoyed
about talking to you. Is it like sometimes like you
just gotta like, I feel like I'm a pretty real person.
Sometimes it will a fault, you know what I mean?
And uh, but I like I like interaction with you,
(29:54):
like talking to you man, because like we both live
lives where people perceive you one way and they don't
really know you. You know what I mean? Does that
make sense? So we kind of got into that, and
I think that's what people like you kind of. You're
like people like vulnerability. I think it's and we went
at it both being vulnerable. Yeah, but it came out
in the end though. I mean we were better from it.
(30:16):
It was precious. We were we were cold, we came
out of diamond. Yeah, it was good. But it has
hundreds and hundreds hundreds of thousands of downloads. Really, does
anyone ever say anything about that podcast? Uh? Yeah, I
see it on my Twitter and stuff. A lot of
people saying that they just caught up on that one
and they're like, whoa, that got real, you know. But
Mike D was there that day, Live and Live. He
didn't know if to keep doing it. He thought you're
(30:37):
gonna leave? He did? Yeah's Mike D. He didn't you
didn't you? Hey, Mike D? D you were there live
for it. It was like whenever Jake and I were
talking about during the podcast, did you think it was
the weirdest thing ever? Did you want to leave a
little bit? He said? After what he goes, I don't
know what to do. Should I walk out? And that
We're good? Yeah? So anything else going on? Uh? I
(30:59):
don't know what else is going on? What else is
going on? Um? Man just asking do you have to
come up with anything? I man, just a lot. I really,
I'm honestly, the best thing that's going on in my
life is the fact that, Um, I'm genuinely happy. I
think that's the most important thing in anyone's life is
to be at a place where you can literally wake
up and go to sleep every day and just go wow,
(31:20):
like this was a great day. I'm pretty happy to
be alive. I've got lots of good things going on
in my life. Like I said, I mean, take the
music side out of it, and new new single and
all that feels good. But I have a really awesome, healthy,
five year old little girl that literally makes me smile
like every single day. Um in school now she starts
kindergarten this coming this coming year. Um, but uh, my
(31:42):
family and I would just got back from Pebble Beach.
When I played the golf ball, I did hit someone
with a golf ball. I didn't do it on purpose, though,
but my dad, no, my dad was caddying for me,
so that's cool. You know, he's a cancer survivor, so
you see him right next to me on the World's
Most Beautiful Call. Of course, you know, lots of good things, man,
(32:02):
But you hit some of the golf ball. Yeah, I did. Uh.
That was the second time at that tournament that I
hit someone with the golf ball. This one wasn't as
bad as the first time though. Luckily that was like
before everyone was videoing all the time. But I got
that guy good and he was cool about it. It
hit his head. And these people just standing in the
wrong Yes, that's what they're standing in the right place.
(32:22):
He hit it was twice in the same course. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
wait wait a second, like I'm actually they weren't somewhere,
they weren't supposed to be. No, they were just standing
there as but as patrons of the in the gallery.
And uh, I I don't say this arrogantly, but I
mean I'm a pretty good golfer. And so the shot
I hit that hit the lady this year was not
(32:43):
that bad of a shot. I hit it like ten
yards right of the green, and uh it wasn't. I
mean it was and it kind of hit it right
in the middle of the chest. Oh my goodness. Yeah, yeah,
it was great hoppen. She didn't move. I don't know,
I said ford to hit her from behind. It hit
(33:03):
her straight, like yeah, I mean that happened to me
once with a football. But the the video, like someone
posted this video. I walked up. I felt terrible, and
you never want to hit someone with anything, much less
like golf ball, and uh, I said, I'm really sorry.
I was like, I'm not a good golfer, but I'm
a pretty good golfer. You know, I just said that
would be nice. And her husband chimps and he's like, yeah,
(33:25):
we know. Seriously, I thought you'd be. I thought you're proud.
To be a little hurt by him going yeah, we
know I was. I didn't let anybody know about that,
but I was a little bummed out the guy who said, no,
we know, you're not a good golfer. And I almost
went from like, you know, man, I was just really
nice to your wife to like, well, let's let's go
you know, you and me right now, let's do this.
(33:49):
By the way, I text you and said, hey, come in,
don't about bringing the guitar, just come in. We'll talk.
And he's like, oh, thank god, that's how I read it. Yeah,
because no, I have to. I know you'd be yourself
up before you come in and play, because you're like,
what am I going to play? Need to be perfect? No, well,
not only for myself, but honestly, I mean, dude, that's
what's so great about music these days, this day and age.
(34:09):
Every person you have come on here is so great.
They're awesome. So you're like, man, I want to, like
what if I go on there? I want to. It's
not it's like for me, I just want to be great,
and I want to be I want to compete with
people around me that are in this town that are
as great as they like. I hear him on y'all
Show all the time. You're very competitive and you're competitive
about knowing more covers than anybody else. I know a
lot of those. Yeah. But again, if I say, hey,
(34:31):
Craig Campbell's like with the greatest guy. You're like, no,
he's not all you know, No, he's great yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Cool. What do you call him that? Craig
Campbell like the cover champion of the World, Like, no,
I play stump Craig Campbell's see, he's like the same
thing though. I mean, he played down there on Broadway
for so long that you've got to be able to
(34:52):
do that. I mean, Jake just he wants it to
be like stump Jake going, and they're both awesome at it,
and I honestly don't know who's better, but I know
it bothers Jake a little bit when someone says they're
better than him and knowing all the songs. It bothers
anyone says they're better at me and anything that's true,
Like it's I mean, I I it's I just I'm
that kind of person. I wish I wasn't. I was
talking to named drop Luke Bryan off the here the
(35:15):
other day and he said, Paul McCartney told me it's
not cool to drop names. Okay, well cool, Lo it
goes that Jake, he's so competitive about him knowing every song,
he said. We sat around the campfire and we just
gave up because Jake knew all the songs. We did
do that. That's true, true story. Yeah. That was in uh,
that was in British Columbia. We were fishing. Dirk's just
(35:37):
like name drop, named drop. Yeah. The Peyton manning there too.
I didn't say that you Yeah, he was man he
was just the four of you all. Uh yeah. Randy
(35:58):
Hawser was there last drop, trying to think, well I
can I can name drop. You know what the drop is.
Let's see how musical you are that dropped? You know
what that's from. I did notice that the first time
name drop just to drop. It's the Beastio Boys. Uh
is that sabotage? No, it doesn't matter. No, I just
(36:21):
want to be recognized. It sounded like you Ray doing
name that's the Beast Boys doing drop, name drop. I
don't know that song. I have to have to do
that though, because I name dropped, and I'm such a
douche that I have to acknowledge my douch nous. Yeah,
you acknowledge at least eight mile yourself. That's why I
say that's right. All right, Hey, thanks for having me.
Glad Jake's checking him. I'm out. Yeah, good to see it.
(36:46):
But the song is really good. I'm happy. I'm happy
for you. I haven't seen Amy, I haven't been in
here since you've had your kids, So congratulations on that.
I followed, I followed through the through the morning show,
and and it's pretty cool to hear you like you're
your transition into motherhood. It's pretty awesome. Thanks. I'll take
any parenting advice that you've got. Don't ask me. The
(37:10):
daughter Jay going songs out today. I was Jack, you
were Dyane. It's a it's sincerely. It's always great to
have you in here. Thanks, man, It's always good to
be here. And just like every time we talk, we
go down all the roads. Want to happy, make fun, sad? Yes, fight, yes, hug,
keep going all right, we'll see you next time. Jo
(37:37):
Amy's a new mom. She has a ten year old
and a seven year old. That's hard. I mean, how
you a new mom with a ten and a seven
year old? But she's adopted to children. How long they've
been in here? Man, it feels like two years. Huh, Carmen,
check my gray hair? Hey, what would you like to
tell Amy? I just wanted to tell Amy, Um? Hi Amy, Hi, Um,
(38:02):
don't worry so much about it, or don't spend your
time and money on these how to books and stuff.
I think that you just need to follow your heart
and think about what your mom would have done in
those situations. And you, honey, will be just fine, because
I listened to you all every morning, and you are
one of these tweetest, most compassionate people. And I have
(38:23):
not even met you. I can just tell it by
the way you are on the air, and I just
don't think you need all that extra stuff. I think
you're gonna be a wonderful mom. Carmen, in regards to
your comment about any being sweet and compassionate, as sweet
as she sounds on the radio, even sweeter in person,
I totally believed telling you the truth, Carmen, best person
(38:46):
ever been around. I believe you. You make me. I'm
a cloch sharer. I do cloche. It's kind of like
knitting about a crouche, and you just made I just
wanted to croshe your kids all these things because I
know that I know you know that you're here and
they're new here and so I don't know, just here
and you do that and your compassion for those kids
and the love that you have for those kids that
(39:09):
it's just it's all come one and I'm just amazed
by you every day, and I think that you're going
to be to growesome. I'm amazed by you too. Nobody
says something bad about me. You're You're accurate, Carmen, and
thank you for the car. I appreciate you. I hope
you have a good day. Amy. What do you have
to say now? I know your situation is different because
you have two older kids, and I'm sure you have
(39:30):
to read a lot of books about I'm all about
all the how to books and podcasts. I can't just
follow my heart on some of this stuff because I'm
dealing with kids that are coming from an abandonment orphanage
type situation. They are older, they haven't always been in
a loving, nurturing home, So I do need outside help
and advice. Do you have people that you go too?
(39:51):
It's all the humans, Yes, yeah, what I guess I
call mentors that have walked this road before me. I'm
America's mentor. Why don't you come to me, man, American?
I don't hire me just I have all the advice.
I'm not trying to build their brand per se, I'm
trying to shape them into functioning humans. That's that's fair.
(40:13):
That's fair. Well, I'm glad to hear that you're giving
yourself different tools. Yes, you may not have to use them, correct.
I think I just got stuff in my toolbox. A
load up that toolbox too, or lunchbox calls it a
tool chest, but I need it. I think that's good.
You like reading I do these days. I feel like
(40:35):
listening to the audiobook or podcast is is easier for
me to absorb and still get stuff done. I think
the ad because I'm I just finished my second book
and it comes out this summer, and that audio book
I haven't recorded it, I will, people can listen to it.
I think if you listen to a book, it's the
same thing as reading it, and people will go, no,
you don't really read it, you just listen to I
(40:56):
think it's the same thing. I'm totally down with listening
to a book and it's in the same thing as reading.
Do you think you have to disclose that if someone's like, oh,
this is such a great book and be like, oh, yeah,
I read that book. This is what I do. Though
sometimes I will read a book and I'll know where
I am and then on the audio. If I'm driving
for a long time, I'll just go to that part
and bunch back, Eddie. What are you reading an audio? Man?
I got burned by one audio book. It was about
(41:18):
the submarine that was sinking. It was terrible. But that
was my first time to get a book from like
Cracker Barrel, and last time was terrible. It's so bad.
You can't blame the content of the book on the
way the man was reading. He was like that boat
when ouga, are you sure that wasn't a kid's book? Well,
(41:40):
that's a very kind call of her, very it's good
to know that. How things going good? Good? You know.
We have a new nanny just recently, like now, like
in the last few days, and I kind of had
a breakdown to her, like she's gonna quit, She's gonna
quit day one? Did she not yet? It's okay, I've
(42:02):
already cried to her. Yeah, you get that out of
the way. She sees the worst in year. Everything else's phone.
He's like, oh, boy, do you see where Air Force
one has a doctor? Two thousand meals eighty five phones
on it? The interiors four thousand square feet. It's so
crazy that that can fly. It has a conference room,
(42:24):
a dining room, and oval office, a bedroom, a bathroom
for the president, other offices for other staff members. The
aircraft has a medical room in a separate operating room.
Air Force one has its own doctor. It's equipped with
encryption and scrambling devices. There all these phones, armored windows. Man,
that's why the refrigerator costs three million dollars. It's pretty fascinating.
(42:48):
Do you want to know the most fascinating I read
yesterday was Barbara Streisan cloned her dog twice and has
two cloned dogs. It's unbelievable. Who's all the story? I mean,
I guess I read a little bit of it, but
she I didn't realize it was the same dog. She
cloned the same dog twice. Put on my answers story
because I was like, this is like Jurassic Park. And
(43:09):
then I said, since it was a dog, I said,
it was Jurassic bark very much so. In an interview
with Variety, she said that she had this dog is
a fourteen year old died and cells were taken from
her dog's mouth and stomach, and two dogs were made
out of it. Clone two dogs. Now, I love my
(43:32):
dog more than any living thing ever, and I just
can't see cloning it, cloning him. I wonder how much
that costs, how much it help the clone a dog?
Much Google that I think it's umty dollars is what
I read. It's fifty thou for a dog and thod
for a cat. But what are you going to get
from that? Because the dog is not going to be
(43:52):
the same, Like in your heart, what are you hoping
You're not feeling that void of the same dog being gone?
Why not just go save another dog? There's so many
dogs that need a home. But I guess if you're
really attached and you have that, but that dog's gone,
I know, dog's gone. It sucks. Amy's dog just died.
My dog's about to die. It all suck, it really does.
(44:12):
But I don't Yeah, you're right, I don't know that
I would want to have cloned her because it's not her.
I'm not trying to hate. I'm just trying to understand here.
I just hand it to me. Amy, You're right, Thank you.
That's crazy. Fifty grand for a dog a cat. The
company as also offers genetic preservation for bucks. They do
(44:33):
a biopsyne they say, the tissues so they can clone
it later. I see hundred bucks that you do me.
Oh we should clone you? Why not? But it wouldn't
really be you. He'd be like evil Bobby or something.
I don't care. I send it over to California. Do
all that West Coast stuff like Stephan to get up?
Are they over there? And stuff? Stinks? Man, there's a
tattoo hartist to ink his whole body, and he also
(44:53):
did his eyeballs and inside his mouth. That hurts to
think about. Yeah, his name is eli Ink. He changed
his name, of course he did a yes, great observation name.
You think this entire body, including his eyeballs and the
inside of his mouth. The eyeball things crazy to me.
The mouth thing is just you're just showing out so
(45:15):
you can go hey to check this out. The eyeball thinks,
seems so dangerous. Even the people that were getting those
eye eyelash tattoos. Oh yeah, I can't talk about eyeliner.
Yeah that's crazy to me. Oh yeah, no, that's not
crazy to me. Getting your eyeball no no, no, it's
a more yes, but getting your eye liner tattooed on
(45:37):
you it's it's a needle so close to your eye.
Have you done that? Not crazy to me? I did
my eyebrows tattoo that micro blading. We talked about it.
Morgan was thinking about doing it. It's not tattoo. Technically,
it's called micro blading. They cut open your skin with
a blade and then pour ink inside. That's what that is.
(45:59):
I thought it was like sewing. They were like sewing
your eye with something. Jason Aldi's birthday today, Happy birthday.
Here's some facts about Jason. He was the number seven
highest paid country music last year at thirty two point
five million dollars. I know when you think about it,
just straight up, I wouldn't treat him nicer when he
(46:20):
comes in. What why let me share his money with us?
That never worked. Aldine changed his name because there was
an artist already named Jason D. Williams performing all over Nashville.
So to stop the confusion, he changed the middle of
his change, spelling his middle name, which was Aldine to Aldine.
Really clever. Of the many jobs he had before music,
(46:43):
he sold pages at I'm All Kiosk because lucky numbers
number nine. His baseball jersey. Did you know that Jake
Owen was offered Big Green Tractor first, and he passed.
How about that? Turned it down, became Out's biggest hit
to day. It's spending multiple weeks at number one. Big Faster, Dude,
(47:06):
I don't even own a tractor. I'm good, dude. That
song out there I don't want to do and if
you won't like that he went for Jake went for
what eight seconds d I don't know what it was.
I don't know if a song he wrote, I don't know.
But his first career card, Jason Alden was a pickup trucks.
I bought it with the money made for planing bars.
(47:27):
He has a vintage t shirt collection. He spend time
on eBay shopping for them. I feel like we see
a lot of them. He wears a lot of old shirts.
And he has nineteen number one singles. Who can't even
play a show? That's all I mean. It's a whole
set list. Wow. And songs that are bigger that weren't
number one, like hick Town that wasn't a number one
song and it's massive. I have for you now my
favorite Jason al Dean's songs number three, two, number one,
(47:49):
You're Ready, Number three. It wasn't even a single to
Night Town that you spent three nuts with a bunch
of suits on trying to get girl up in a
little crazy. Since you won't tell wound to spend three
(48:13):
nets into that, that song should have been a single.
That's a good one. Number two Big Green track, you
can take another bad on my Big Green track. And
my favorite Jason al Dean song in my list. Number
one is don't you want to Stay? With Kelly Clarkson
Don't want to Stay? That's a Jamie you like that one.
(48:38):
I haven't thought about it in a really long time.
Day out with me. When I was doing my research
for this segment, I was going through the whole and
I was like, oh, that's my favorite, that's one. Then
I get it out that's my favorite, and I ended
up with this gonna be my favorite. Happy Birthday, Jason Aldan,
(48:59):
You're Amy's pile of stories. To have the number one
reason that contestants get rejected from The Bachelor, oh, psychological
profiles sort of. It does have to do with your health.
What is it? Well, you have to have a clean
bill of health so they can't have STDs if they
go on the Bachelor. Yeah, they get tested and all
(49:21):
the stuff. A psych evaluation is done, but that's not
the number one reason people get rejected. They actually we're
all psycho on that show. Yeah, you're exactly right. Hey,
you know that's a good thing, because if I were
the Bachelor, I will be concerned because you know, really
the bachelors are getting with a lot of those girls.
I will be concerned. Oh yeah, of course I will
be concerned that that that I was getting something. But
(49:44):
if they're already covered, and I mean, that's a good thing.
M It's just kind of like the sixties again, free
love man. Yeah, but stock not Bachelor. Okay, so it
looks like there could be a Fresh Prince of bel
Air reboot, but it'll be the Fresh Princess of bel Air. Yeah,
(50:04):
so it won't really be the same cast because Uncle
Phil's dead. Will Smith was on Instagram saying he will
never be back on the show, but kind of the
same theme but with a young female, which I think
is a good idea. I don't like it when shows
come back and just try to make a whole new,
indefinite run. I like it if shows come back and
(50:25):
they do one more season and that's it. Just like
our athletes. We don't want to see Michael Jordan's get
so old and crappy that we feel bad for him.
At this point, I look at the Will and Grace
Show and I'm like, stop, this isn't good anymore. But yeah,
I'm okay with this a whole new set and it's
on rerun so much now on on TV Land that
young people are seeing it. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, so
(50:47):
what else they'll know? What's up? Spice Girls are going
to perform at Prince Harry and Megan's wedding. Is that
for sure? Because I saw that one of the Spices
had mentioned to that, No, you don't let that slip. No,
she was on the reel yesterday and she let it slip.
My point is you say that on purpose, even if
(51:08):
you act like you didn't. But what did she say exactly? Well,
she admitted that they, the whole group they were going
to be attending the wedding, and then, after being pressed
a little bit, she hinted that they're also going to
be singing. And Megan's a huge fan of the Spice Girls.
It makes not even British, that's the weird thing. What
I'm a huge fan of the Spice Girls. I was
a Spice girl my senior year of high school. Which
(51:28):
one the redheaded one? No? Who was I? My friend
and I were? I think I was scary spice were you, Dobie?
What what is that for? Oh? That's when seven do.
I don't even I don't even know if that was
like funny or rude. It was funny. Don't worry. Well
if you love Netflix and their original shows and binging them,
(51:51):
the CEO announced that they are coming up with seven
hundred new original Netflix shows. That's a lot of it's
a lot of binging. It's so much now that I
can't enjoy it because I turn it on and I go, wow,
they're all these new shows. I don't know which one
I want to invest my time in. It's so much
(52:12):
like overload that's watched the Office. Oh, it's just too
many shows. You should give some of the original ones.
Or read a book. Oh, stop stop with the books.

I'm so happy to see you. Look at finally you
and I've been talking for about a month or so,
(53:14):
didn't get you in here. I'm so glad you came down.
I am so excited to be sharing this with you.
Because when we were planning on the release of this,
I thought, oh, I gotta gotta call Bobby so I'm
gonna get to the song in one second, because she
has a new song called Love Me to Death, which
is really good. I think the concept is what first
I was like, Oh, I need to hear this, and
I heard it. I want to get to that one
second yeah, yeah, I have lots of questions though, Okay,
(53:35):
just generally, so you're here in the morning time, you
have to wake up in the morning. I'm I'm a
writer around the same same time as you, like three
o'clock in the morning, which would be two o'clock for you. Yeah,
but I've been doing it for so many years. I
don't live in the city. I live in Connecticut, so
you know, I've always been doing the commute and I
love the early early morning. I gotta I gotta not says, hey,
you should check out Cassy Lee song. And so I
(53:55):
listened to it and then you text me and I said, oh,
we gotta get you down here because tell me what
this song, because it's not just you singing, it's also
Brett James. Tell me about this song. Well, um, I
was leaving for Scotland last summer in August and to
go to it's called location scouting, trying to find the
perfect places for all the scenes i'd written. And he said,
(54:16):
send me some pictures as we're going along. And we
had just written a song, um called once Again, which
I thought was going to be our title song. But
things change in the creative process. So anyway, we just
finished writing it and we were both really really happy
with it. You know, we we nailed the song, to
which he texted me back, I can't stop singing our song. Now.
(54:37):
I go to sleep in a four hundred year old
castle and that that's on my brain. Can't stop singing
your song. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning,
which I most of the time do, and um, and
these lyrics just came to me, just boom, boom boom.
I was a little embarrassed. They're very sensual, but they
were for my character Annabelle in our movie. And UM
(54:58):
texted him the next day, said him a litt embarrassed,
but um, I think I have our closing credit song.
And he goes, will send them to me, and he's
he read him. He goes, yeah, so and he's so great.
He just wrote this incredible melody to it. And now
it's now we got it. Now you are debuting it
for us all actually today, but the very first day.
(55:20):
So this is the released I'm gonna play right now,
Kathy Lee and here is love Me to Death, You
close close, let Me Love you on the Bobby Bones Show.
(55:40):
Now that right there, thank you. I can tell you
love it because you were singing along with it. You
know what this his melody is get in your head.
It's really you can't stop singing them. And that's that's great.
I mean, it's that's you know, you got you got
a good song. I should say, I know, but I
didn't know you were such a good singer. I didn't
even do this for such a long time. Like I've
(56:02):
known the last few years, you've been putting at these
songs and I see him do really well, But you've
been singing even named that tune back in the day. Yeah,
nineteen seventy seven was my big break in this business.
It was I was at a La La lady on
on Name that Tune and so many so many years ago.
And then right after that, I came to Nashville and
(56:22):
did us. I was spent most of the next year
here doing a sitcom called he Honeys with all the
I was the only one that wasn't uh you know,
in the e haawk cast, and everybody just welcomed me
so beautifully, and it was just I made lifetime friends.
That's when I met Dolly, That's when I met Barbara
Mandrell and the Gatlins and Kenny Rogers, and they're all great,
great pals of mind to this day. So Nashville has
(56:45):
always had a huge, huge, huge place in my heart.
Allows you to hear this clue because pulled a clip
here this is you from named that tune, Oh my gosh,
nineteen seventy four, Here we go. Here was one more tune,
the final one in this round, Kathy, if you please,
is there anyone fine, Carolina? There is no that's you know.
(57:21):
That's when I had an extra octave so long ago.
I wish I sang like that now. I think I
was twenty two or something. I don't know. How trying
are you musically? Um? I it was my minor in college,
but I didn't graduate from college, So that tells you
I just learned by doing. I learned by doing. My
dad used to say to me, Cathy, find something you
(57:41):
love to do and then figure out a way to
get paid for it. When do you get to go
out and perform these songs with people? Why don't you
go to tour? I still have a day job. I'm
still with the Today Show. So yeah, and it's funny.
I mean, I I can record now, but I haven't
sung professionally in fifteen years. I had some damage to
my to my voc of chords when my daddy was
dying and I hadnemonia and didn't go and get on
(58:04):
antibiotics because he was literally in hospice and by the
time I did, I'd had some some bad damage to
my vocal cords. So I, uh, so Brett is the
one that he bamboozled me. He came up to my
house and in Connecticut, and I have a studio in
my house, and I when we wrote Jesus, he saw Jesus.
I said, well, listen, I don't sing anymore. So who
(58:24):
are we gonna get to sing this? Let's get mine o,
nor let's get faith or let's get you know, uh,
somebody that can actually sing, you know, And so we
can talk about that. But in the meantime, why don't
you just do the demo? And I said, well, I
can do the demo because you can fix me in
in the studio. You can you know, you can make
me sound like well, not exactly like Carrie Underwood, but
close right. So it's sad that we can do that
(58:46):
these days you staf to have talent. But anyway, um
so he said so we recorded it that day and um,
I said, so, who are we going to get to
sing it? And he goes, well, well, here's what I'm
gonna do. I'm gonna take your vocals back to now
shil I'm gonna you know, comp them, and then I'm
gonna um add some live strings and I that's dead
(59:06):
giveaway to anybody that's been the music business. I said.
I just looked at him, like you stinker, and he's
he just sort of smiles and he goes, nobody can
sing this song. But Kathy Lee and I did sing it.
I was scared to death because you know, literally hadn't
sung live in years. And I did it on the
Today Show and it instantly went viral, and that's when
it became the number one hit, you know, because people
(59:28):
loved my husband, They really loved him, and people were
fascinated by the way I came back after losing him.
Except I didn't lose him. That's one of the lines
in the in the song. No, I didn't lose him.
I know right where he is because he was never
really mine. He was always his meaning God. So um,
but after he passed away, I came back a week
later and talked about it on the air and that
(59:50):
went viral. I think eighty million people are so I've
seen that. So it's just the whole world has changed
since I got into this business. Bobby is such a
little I was ten years old when I started singing
professionally with my stir so you know, the technology can
be used for good too. So I was just amazed
that that that this could happen. Especially I like to
be surprised at this point in my life. You know. Um,
(01:00:13):
let's see, so you're here, Yeah, you're on TV, you're
making music, You're pretty much Jennifer Lopez now. So I've
always had I wish I looked like Jennifer again. You're
Jennifer Lopez again here before and after. Yeah. Yeah, I've
been around a long long time. I'm grateful. You know,
I've had a fifty year career pretty much, well now
it's fifty four year career. It's amazing. Um. I think
(01:00:36):
it's because I've always just been authentic. You may not
like me, but it's it's based on authenticity. You may
not like me, and that's fine. Everybody has their opinions.
But the people that are still my fans after all,
these years have become my friends and and they know
what they know, what they're gonna get. I think they're
gonna be surprised by this movie because this is I'm
usually very much involved in the faith based world because
(01:00:58):
that's a huge part of my life. But this time
I wanted to examine what it's like for people who
have no personal faith. They're on a journey trying to
find it, but they haven't been enlightened in an they're
always talking about having to haven't been enlightened yet, and
that's most of the world. I think most people are
looking for something. Most most people are trying to find
(01:01:18):
some truth in their life. And so it was fun
for me as a as a as the writer to
examine what would I do? What would this character do
when she loses her husband? Uh doesn't lose him? Well, yeah,
in her case, she feels like she did lose him,
uh because she has no idea where he went or
what happened to him, and so that's why she's heads
(01:01:39):
out on this journey. But um, it was fascinating and
it freed me up because most of my friends are
not necessarily followers of Jesus the way I am. I
love these people. I just love them. I took a
bunch of people on a trip to Israel a couple
of years ago. It was my Sikh friends, my Hindu friends,
my Scientile of g friends, my atheist friends, my agnostic friends,
(01:02:03):
my broken hearted Catholic friends, my still uh confused Baptist friends. Videos.
It was quite the group and we all just had
the most amazing spiritual time there because they're just great people,
and um, I just think we need to get back
to that in this world. You know, it's not you
don't have to agree with me to be my friend.
(01:02:23):
You know, we're gonna put the video up to Bobby
Bones dot com. So the song and the video they're
all out. I'm very grateful that you came by today

if you ever asked my mine is Yeah, sorry about that,
lunch box Radio, lunch box. It's great, it's fun and
you'll be entertained. Hey, By the way, the big debate
(01:03:08):
is who we want to fight Eddie with two arms
and he with one? Like if I if I tied
my marm beham a bag and fight him with one arm? Amy,
Who would you bet on? How much money? Amy? I
don't know the amount of Okay, then she doesn't believing you.
I got you, lunch box, He would you take? Oh,
you only have one arm and he has to man.
(01:03:29):
If it goes more than two rounds, it's gonna be
Bobby because Edie's gonna run out of gas. Who would
you bet, though, I'll bet Bobby. Wow, that's terrible. They

Everybody transmitting across America. Jes show. Yeah, welcome, welcome studio. Hey,
Colleen and St. Louis. Good morning to you. Hi. I'm
so excited to talk to you. I listened every morning.
Thank you very much. Well, what would you like to say? Well,
(00:24):
this is kind of random, but I just want to say,
you guys need to stop pick him on Eddie about
being a helicopter dad. He sounds like a great dad
And we only get one shot at this parent thing,
and he's trying to do the best he can. And
someday they're going to be big, loppy, grown as teenagers
and he won't have any control. And I just think
he sounds like the best daddy and he's just trying
(00:46):
to protect his kids. I love it, Colleen, Eddie caller
of the day. We just started the show. Colleen, may
I offer you a rebuttal. Oh don't disagree with colleenbutal
just in fairness, if we ever pick on anyone on
(01:09):
this show, it's because we feel so comfortable with them
that we feel like we can playfully make fun of them. Ever,
that's if they're making fun of me. Although you guys
do get on me a little too hard. Sometimes I
feel sometimes we do, but that's okay. If we make
fun of each other, it's really just out of love.
If it were if it was really angry, we just
wouldn't do it. They would be at like all sincerity,
(01:29):
they be out of the room. So anytime you hear
that's messing, that's what it is. It's messing with each other. Okay, Well,
I don't understand this helicopter parents thing because I'm let
me tell you, someday you won't have any control and
if you need to modern I snooped and snooped and
oh god, well I believe you. But I'm just saying
(01:50):
we messed with anybody on this show. That's what Hey, Bill, listen, Colleen,
I appreciate you recognizing people do cool things. He gets
SA Maritan named Tony approached Taguan Langley, who was parked
in her car to McDonald's, and he said, hey, your
tires are when i'm flat, So you don't want to
(02:13):
give you She said, listen, my tires are bad, thank
you very much, and so she said we can get
a repair about how the money to get him prepaired.
So he said, hey, follow me, and they went over
to the bridge don't tire any, paid her bucks and
bought any tires and bailed out. I was like, that's it.
I just thought you could use this. That's awesome. I
just went up to her said hey, didn't give a flash.
She goes, hey, now my tires are bad. He said, hey,
(02:36):
she can't four the boom. Next thing you know, he
bought her new tires and then he disappeared into the
north poles. He turned his circle and glitter fell and
there you go. That's an I see you, and that's
pretty awesome. Bobby Bones Show, Big Story. It's producer Raymond
in Arlington, Virginia, at a military base. At least eleven
(02:57):
people reportedly suffered minor injuries. They had burning sensations in
their nose. They opened a letter that had a suspicious
material in it. Authorities are still investigating the situation. In
airline news, United Airlines flight from Newark to l A
was forced to make an emergency landing pilot's notice smoke
in the cockpit. The plane did land safely and there
(03:17):
were no injuries. And finally, in weather news, tons of
rain from Texas to Maine today and tomorrow strong storms
in Arkansas as well. Careful on those roads. Let's go
training the story about the average age that people get married.
What do you think the average age of a groom is?
(03:39):
The man one see, when I read this, I feel
like maybe I'm not that out of touch. I got
thirty seven, So I go, that's not crazy. I always
feel like I'm just lost, gone out there, just there's
no hope. Sometimes I feel like there's no hope. I'm
thirty seven. That's not absolutely nuts compared to this. So
it's an article on read It where they talked about
(04:00):
the average people are getting married. The average age of
a bride is twenty nine. The average age of a
groom is thirty one. Couple spent an average of thirty
three tho dollars on their weddings. That's the average. People
are spending way more than that. Yeah, but half of
that goes to the venue. M okay, I can't believe
(04:22):
a place costs that much. And weddings are not focused
on guests more because couples are doing all these things
to make it is super memorable experience for the attendees
because no one wants to have a bad wedding, so
they're just trying to put on a show. For everybody
else more than themselves, because now there's hashtags and people
can check out what kind of a night it was.
Hashtags are free at least, well, I know, but you've
(04:42):
got to make sure if people click on the hashtag,
looks like it was a good time. You know. I
didn't think about it like that. Yes, spending on guest
entertainments triple in the last few years. Photo boots, sparklers,
selfie stations, the music that comes in. You know, it's
just I think about that part of it. I probably
get that free. What do you mean, I'm probably just
(05:05):
gonna ask a friend one of these my buddies use
the artist to come and play a song or two.
Oh well, yeah you have that, you have access. Yeah,
save money already. I canna do it in the radio station.
Oh yeah, alright here on the air. Have it sponsored you,
you know, Napa Dollar Shape Club. We're gonna rock this thing.
Make money. Getting married. Actually, yes, now we're talking. I
(05:28):
just have a sponsored but yeah, I do. Image can
actually laser me during the wedding catered by Blue Apron. Yes,
for sure, I'm never gonna get married, so we can
make But I did think that since the average mail
was thirty one that that didn't make me seem such
an alien, because I do feel like an alien sometimes. Yeah. No,
(05:48):
they're still hope you're good. Thank you very much. I mean, yeah,
look at George Clooney. Yeah, but look at George Clooney.
I rest my case. Thank you very much. Time for
your positivity. They'll tell me something good. A Colorado couple
who had a three million dollar jackpot November. They're celebrating

again after winning a two hundred thousand dollar jack a
few months ago. The Colorado Lottery identify as a couple
as Paul M. And Chris and now they've won three million.
Two oh. So A mom was on a flight from
Hawaii to l a x long flight by herself, but
(06:34):
with a toddler and a baby, and her baby was screaming, crying.
There's nothing she could do the calm the baby down,
walking up and down the aisle. So flight attendant went
up turn and said, you know, what do you mind
if I give it a try. Mom was a little reluctant,
but she was at her wits ends, and she handed
the baby over and the flight attendant was able to
soothe the baby and get it to sleep. So the
(06:54):
entire plane was like, yeah, hold back up its attendant
to go above and beyond lunch box. Kate was looking
for a cool way to ask his dude Brian to prom,
so she took to Twitter because she knew he's a
big Steelers fan. She reached out to one of the
wide receivers on the Steelers and said, hey, can you
help me asking the prom? Juju Smith Schuster said yeah,
(07:16):
give me his number face tinam and said hey, Brian,
why don't you go to prom with Kate? And Brian said, yeah, yeah,
that's pretty cool. That's cool. That's cool him to do that.
What's his name, Juju Smith Schuster, not Clinton hat Dicks.
That's another cool name. Yeah, I wish I was my name.
(07:38):
Make another radio navy ha bones. Okay, there you go.
That's good news. There's a woman who spent nineteen dollars
on a kidney transplant for a cat. That's that's that's
a lot of love that cat right there. The cats
seventeen years old too. It's almost like giving a ninety
(08:01):
seven year old man a new foot. Yeah, and so
here's where my mind goes to this. I don't ever
want to tell people do with their own money. Now.
I start to weigh it, though, because if I'm a
multi multimillionaire and I love this cat, dollars really doesn't
affect me that much. So I want to know how
much she makes. If I'm broken, I'm taken out a
(08:24):
loan for this. But even then, again, it's not my money.
I can have an opinion, but it's not right because
it's not my money. Betsy boy, it is her name.
She earns forty six tho dollars a year as a
part time writing professor, and she and you know what,
if she loves something that much and she can afford it,
do it. I just can't hate on somebody who loves something.
(08:45):
It's crazy, it is crazy to go. But I feel
like she's just a lonely woman and just can't let
go over cat. And isn't that okay? Though? No, get
another cat. I don't think it's easy. It's and I
don't know cats. Can they live me? Dirty? No? No,
(09:06):
I don't know how long they live neither, but it's
gonna be rosting or or dies in surgery, you know what.
I'm still I want to hurt tell my team cat
can't cat downhead today. This story comes up from Edgewater, Florida.
(09:30):
A man went outside because he wanted to MOA's lawn,
but he couldn't find his lawnmoor and he goes, I
know it. The neighbor stole it. I can feel it
in my gut. So instead of going over knocking on
the door or call the cops, he lit the corvette
on fire. Oh wow, it turns out the lawnmar was
in his backyard. Oh double wow. Before you do stuff
(09:52):
like that, now, you just shoudn't life people's cars on fire. Yeah,

thirty years, like thirty seasons, maybe twenty six seasons something
like that. But this one is called Survivor Ghost Island.
Lunch Box send me a note, and he said I'd
like to do a segment. I was like, what's that segment?
He goes, it's called I'm looking forward to and I
want to talk about Survivor. That's okay, cool, I mean,
(10:37):
whatever you want, man, But no, he wants to do
a segment. We go around the room say I'm looking
forward to blank. I think it's pretty good segment because
people have to have things they're looking forward to their life.

So I'm looking forward to Blank. Lunch Box says, I

you. You You gotta leave them and you go. I'll still
be working, right because this is my first spring break
with kids, so I don't really know. But yeah, we

to March Madness, baby, Yeah, it's coming to Nashville this year. Yeah,
(12:24):
first and second around, I gotta log traffic middle of March,
mark anything happening in town. It's all about traffic. With
Amy yesterday, We're like, hey, the vice presidents coming to town. Great, Like, wow,
just traffic. I'm always like, if there's soccer tournaments, the
Titans have a game, the Preads have a game. You
just gotta know where you're going, what time everything is,
and you can navigate. Because one time Trump came to town,
(12:47):
I was gonna be late to work. I didn't know
the President was in town, and I was like, why
am I stuck in traffic right now? Almost was late?
You don't like that. Bobby Morgan number two are twenty
four year old. She was talking about snapchat dysmorphia. Have
you heard of the name I have? It's a thing.
Oh you know more, I can tell everybody else. So essentially,
(13:09):
it's people using Snapchat filters and they're telling their doctors
what they want based on Snapchat filters for plastic surgery
to become the filters. So they filter their face and
it makes you look beautiful, and they take that shot
into the doctor and they go, make me look at
the Snapchat filter. That's insane. Well so, at least, though
I'm kind of saying, at least it's a version of themselves.
(13:33):
Ish doctors were saying they got people bringing in Kim
Kardashian or whomever, being like, make me look like Kim.
But now it's like, make me look like my filtered self.
That's still crazy. The first person to do that, they
go into the doctor with the picture of themselves with
the filter. They're like, doctor, make me look like there's
(13:53):
the hard eyes. Filters are amazing, and they're addicting, and
they're scary. And some of the puppy tongue on me
dr with a little ears in the smooth skin. Yeah,
it's I mean, And I don't want to be a
kid these days. I do too old, too fast man.
(14:15):

Anderson East who's going to be performing in studio tomorrow.
I love the whole record, but here's uh, if you
keep leaving me, hit that one. It's a good song,
you believe me. I love the record. I love this song.
(15:33):
By the way, I saw him Randal I ever broke
up that they did? Whoa, Yeah, I don't know any
think about it. We can't bring it out up tomorrow. Well,
I don't care. I don't care to bring it up.
I know you wouldn't have even brought it up they
were together, so we definitely shouldn't bring it up, especially
if it's fresh. Yeah. I don't know much about it,
but he's coming in tomorrow. I love the album. Yeah,
(15:54):
I just saw that last night. And then finally Dave
Barnes and I love this whole record. And Dave Barnes
wrote God Gave Me You that Blake Shelton saying he
wrote Craving You from Marion Morris And this is Dave Barnes.
You hear that song Jason Dreams Dream Dream Dream Jason.
(16:15):
It's called Chasing Dreams. He came in with Kelsey Mallerini.
Remember during our st Jude Radiothon and Kelsey did God
Gave Me You, which he wrote and you can't play
guitar with her. Yeah, so we've met him briefly. He
did my Bobby cast. I'm gonna but that whole record
is good. That's what I'm listening to you right now. Hey,
what's this still about Amy's elephant titis and your thumb?
(16:39):
I don't know my thumbs growing like it's subtle. You
wouldn't know it, but I mean I showed it to
Mike deep Morgan number two. Look at my thumb. Yeah,
it's it's huge compared to the other one. It's just growing.
I don't know what's happening, and it's sort of painful,
but it's just hold on, hold on. Don't you think
it maybe just swelling instead of growing? But why what
I do to it? Bye? I mean, there are a
(17:01):
lot of variables and I don't see a bite. It's
just starting. Like I'm gonna be concerned pretty much. You
know how we google things, so basically I'm probably gonna
have to amputate with them. And so you googled in
it eleph elmatitis and your thumb. Yeah, it's gonna get
really big, to the point where I can't write. Look
at look at the thumb, munchbox, Tell me what's wrong
with it? M bigger? Oh man, that is really bad?
(17:24):
Diagnosed me. Look, it's getting bigger? Is it really like?
W one is bigger? My good? The one was bigger. Yeah,
you're good. You're good. I mean it made me a
little red. It's not he's I'm wor I'm worried about
his vision. Okay, stop with the hands an Oh did
you hear that? Yeah, you popped your knuckles. Popped your knuckles.
(17:46):
That's the elephant. Titus's thirty second skinny. Happy birthday to
Jason al Dean Today he turns forty one years young. Uh,
you feel like Jason now he's older than that. No,
I don't. I feel like he's younger than that. Really,
why you he's kind of ageless to me. Yeah, his skin.
(18:10):
I feel like he almost looks younger than he did
five years ago. Yeah, I just want to sign an
age to him. He's all the earrings and the hats
and accessories kind of keep him from aging. What that
happens with me? What else? Paul Walker is getting his
own documentary called I Am Paul Walker. You know, he
passed away in two thousand thirteen from a crazy car crash,
(18:32):
and the documentary is just going to have an in
depth look into his life, his acting. It's behind from
the same people that did Heath Ledger and John F.
Kennedy Jr. Yeah. The Heath Ledger one was sad. I
saw that one. Oh I haven't seen it. Would you
recommend it? Yeah? It's sad. Okay, I'm interested in the
JFK one. I'm not. I don't think about JFK JR. JFK.
(18:55):
You know what I want to see is that Versacchi
set of TV shows and yeah, it's the same people
who no, no, no, the same people who did the O. J.
Simpson documentary The Real They did a Sacchi the Murder
of Versaci. Yeah, oh, I want to see that. And
you know what came out I believe yesterday was the
Tupac in Biggie Murderer show on any or TNT one
(19:18):
of those channels. Yeah. A lot of good stuff out there. Okay,
is that it? Yep? It made me. That's your thirty
seconds skinny, Morning Corny. Why didn't the policeman want to
get out of bed? Why didn't the policeman want to
get out of bed? Because there's an undercover cop? Thank you?
There you go. That was the Morning Corny on the
(19:44):
Bobby Bones Show. Now, hey man, where do we start?
What's up? Man? There's just a lot going on with
you right now? There's a lot going on. I feel
like a couple of things. One in the last year,
so you and I've gotten to be better friends, and
we already were personally, but also listen to your podcast
(20:05):
and I learned so much about you on that podcast
too that I feel like I know you even more
than I should. Yeah, you know, I mean, are you
feeling that for the podcast? People go, dude, I didn't
know this about you. Yeah. I like the uh. I
like the fact that I can kind of I'm a
pretty open book anyways with most of my life. That
it's it's kind of nice to open up a little
more um on just with the people that are involved
in my life, not so much me all the time.
(20:27):
I get to talk to other people that inspire me,
So I like that aspect of it. Jake Owens here,
it's got the Good Company podcast, got this new song
we've been playing every hour today, which, by the way,
I was Jack, you were Dyane every time. Wait, have
(20:50):
taught me through this for a second. So when you do,
how first of all, how does this all come together
in your mind? Uh? In my mind? Yeah, because if
you have this this song obviously Jack and Diane's in it,
because and it's called I was right, how does this
all comes a delicate situation? This song? Um? But it
was this whole story from a friend of mine that
(21:12):
it had started this song a few years ago and thought, man,
how do we use this track and actually get away
with it? Um? But the way the music has kind
of come Uh, they rewrote with Craig Wiseman. Craig happens
to be over there, big Loud. Obviously he threw me
the song and it was it was kind of full
circle the way that it came about. This wonder because
(21:33):
you go, man, what a risk to take a song
that's already been because you hear Jack and Diane so
heavily in the song title of it's Jack and Diane. Yeah,
that you gotta go. This is this is a big
By the way, I love the song I told you
that before you came in. But I just wonder how
your mind wraps that. Do you go forward? Is it
worth taking a big risk like this, You're starting at
(21:54):
a new label like all things. Yeah, I don't know.
I think life's about taking risks. And uh, I thought
about that the other day at I would not be
in Nashville if I didn't one day, for some weird reason,
call my parents on the phone, which is something I
talked about in that pot in one of my podcasts,
um to my dad. Actually, Um, I just remember one day,
I just had a feeling and I said, I'm as
(22:16):
much as I love Tallahassee and as much as I
loved playing bars with my friends and stuff in a
band and Tallahassee, I wanted something more. I want to
try something different. And uh I called my parents on
the phone and told him I was leaving Tallahassee and
moving to Nashville. And that was fourteen fifteen years ago.
So here we are today and putting a song out
like this. Yeah, it might be a little bit of
(22:36):
a risk or a chance, but to me, it's kind
of an ode to Jack and Diane the song originally
and for me growing up as a kid. I like
songs that make you feel young and and and and
songs that make you remember life. And uh that and
jack and Diane was the original song story of two
American kids growing up in the heartland. That's all still
(23:00):
feels good too when Jackie Diane comes on, took non
Chili Dog outside of this freeze like it's still the
jam to everybody. And when I heard the song, it
felt like a new warm blanket. Yeah, it was new.
It's like the cool side of the pillow. Well if
it's a new pillow, right, because it felt comfortable without
(23:22):
it being a new song that was having to adjust
to that made sense. It's still yeah. I know it
took me a minute to because I will. I'll be honest.
I think I told you this on a text. It
I had to be careful, you know. I don't want
to be the guy that's like, who, who's this guy
ruining this classic song? But um, I really was a
fan of the way that was written and uh and
(23:43):
I like the fact that it kind of pays homage
to that song it was back when you And I
like the whoever it is that people put themselves in
songs throughout life. They um. I was listening earlier today
to um uh Cole Swindell's new song about when Were
It Up in the End, and I thought, Wow, I
put myself in that song, I thought, and I've there's
(24:05):
been people I've been with in my life and and
I may probably go back and do it all over
to me where I am now. But it's so same
with this song. I mean, it's you put yourself as
a person in certain situations and songs, and uh, I
put myself in Jack and Diane, and I think this
is kind of back to when I was Jack and
you were dying. Is John Mellencamp a writer on this song?
He is. They gave him writer's credit, which they definitely
(24:25):
should have. I mean, this is his melody and everything.
But did you talk to him and get his I
haven't talked to him personally, but he did approve this message.
John Mellencamp approves this message. Yeah. Is that something that
they felt like they had to reach out to? Could
he have? They've done it anyway. I think it's it's
proper um. You know, it's the right thing to do.
(24:46):
And they did. They reached out to him and said,
you need to hear this. This is cool and and
to our surprise, actually uh he said yeah, he said
he loved it, and so, um, we're making the video
here pretty shortly. And he actually gave us a lot
of rights to use some of the original Jack and
Diane footage. That's really yeah, And so it's it's a
really cool it's a big deal, Jaco, and it is here.
(25:08):
I got this new song which I do like, and
I heard it the first time. I was on an
airplane listen song and I didn't reply back because I'm
on airplane. And then I forgot to apply for like
two days. And Jack's like, the songs sucks, don't you
know what you said? I was like, no, first off,
we'll back it up. We'll back it up. I've heard
(25:29):
you say multiple times, Man, you don't like to hear
songs earlier. I don't, But you want it the way
that everybody else gets to, like the people you know,
but didn't send you this radio people already getting it. Okay,
Well you text people like am I gonna get to
hear this song? Or was you already sent it out
to people? I haven't sent it to anyone, but radio
people all had it and it was like, hey, and
I know, and to be fair, I had heard it
already at the Music Summit they played it over the top. Yeah,
(25:51):
so right then you guys play this. Yeah, i'd heard
it already and I wanted, yeah, you can call me out,
but it's not the same because I've already heard it. Yeah. Well,
so I said it, and but you when you said
don't and I like the preface you said, hey, I'm
going into a meeting or something, I was shooting idol. Yeah,
so it was and I was like, hey, back, don't
don't take it personally. I didn't take it personally. I
(26:12):
just want to know what you thought. Yeah. I felt like,
I'm glad you like it. I do like and I
wouldn't one I told you I did. I actually love it. Thanks. Really,
I'm excited, I really am. This is a big time
in my life and like being with a new label.
I've got a new tour that we're getting ready to
kick off this summer um new music. It's just like
a different place in my life. My hair is getting
(26:32):
a little bit longer, you know. Uh yeah, man, lots
of things are good. I mean, I'm just I'm pretty.
I just feel I'm like a happy person. I've spend
most of my time now like searching for arrowheads out
on my farm, you know, free time and so on.
The Bobby Bones show. Now, by the way, when you
(26:54):
go out this year, you have Christianson out with you. Yes,
good dude, good dude, great entertainer. Yeah. He actually texted
me the other day and said, hey, man, I just
I want to let you know. It was after the
tour announcement came out. He said, thanks for having me out.
This is gonna be great, And I told him, I said, man, look,
I'm excited to have him out because of how much
better it'll make not not just myself but the guys
(27:18):
in the band, because of how great of what you
just said. He's a great entertainer. He's got a lot
of integrity with the kind of music he makes. But
when someone goes on before you and lights the stage
on fire, I mean it's hard to follow that. So
it's a good thing. I mean it's inspiring to have
him out there, so it'll be fun. We have Jordan
Davis Um with us as well, so he's got a
great beard. Uh so work, Yeah, how'd be good? What
(27:42):
else is it going on with you. Do you get
a new house do to move it from the one
you're selling on the internet? Dude, Yeah, I did. I
sold that house. I'm not lying to you. I live
in a tiny house right now. It's four square feet, um,
and I love it. It's maybe it's a legit tiny
house like from tiny house dot com. Yeah, I have
a time the house. So are you? Are you putting
(28:03):
your root in a joke? Are your roots in your
tiny house or that? Just am I? What? No? No, no,
So what happened is what had happened is I sold
my house, not thinking it was gonna sell that fast.
I put it on the market on a Monday. It's
sold on a Wednesday. They wanted to be in basically
by Christmas. So I'd already bought this piece of property, um,
(28:24):
which is really a dream for me because I've always
you know, moving up here. I thought, if I ever
get to the point around my own piece of property,
and it's just like a place I could raise my
family and daughter or whatever. And I have that now.
But what I don't have on it is a place
to live until I build it, which that takes time.
But I looked into those tiny homes and got one
out there. They drive it out to you. Yeah. Yeah,
(28:47):
it was like it's amazing to see your house like
coming at you, you know what I mean, Like it's
like coming down the road right towards you and uh
put in there. I literally I have a little couch. Um.
Literally it's not tiny though, I know, but I gotta
I don't know, I've just it's really I don't know.
(29:07):
I like going through scenarios like this in my life.
It teaches me like certain things. And uh, I realized.
I mean I have a lot of I had a
lot of junk that I just acquired over years, and
now I don't really I don't have all that. By
the way I say this, I do this podcast from
my house and we have a hundred at some episode,
everybody from Stapleton to Karen Fairchild, I mean, the biggest writers.
(29:33):
You were far and away the like five times the
next person, hundreds of thousands of downloads. Why of the
podcast when you and I when you came to my house, Well,
because we got into a huge fight and it wasn't
a fight though, man. And That's what I've always enjoyed
about talking to you. Is it like sometimes like you
just gotta like, I feel like I'm a pretty real person.
Sometimes it will a fault, you know what I mean?
And uh, but I like I like interaction with you,
(29:54):
like talking to you man, because like we both live
lives where people perceive you one way and they don't
really know you. You know what I mean? Does that
make sense? So we kind of got into that, and
I think that's what people like you kind of. You're
like people like vulnerability. I think it's and we went
at it both being vulnerable. Yeah, but it came out
in the end though. I mean we were better from it.
(30:16):
It was precious. We were we were cold, we came
out of diamond. Yeah, it was good. But it has
hundreds and hundreds hundreds of thousands of downloads. Really, does
anyone ever say anything about that podcast? Uh? Yeah, I
see it on my Twitter and stuff. A lot of
people saying that they just caught up on that one
and they're like, whoa, that got real, you know. But
Mike D was there that day, Live and Live. He
didn't know if to keep doing it. He thought you're
(30:37):
gonna leave? He did? Yeah's Mike D. He didn't you
didn't you? Hey, Mike D? D you were there live
for it. It was like whenever Jake and I were
talking about during the podcast, did you think it was
the weirdest thing ever? Did you want to leave a
little bit? He said? After what he goes, I don't
know what to do. Should I walk out? And that
We're good? Yeah? So anything else going on? Uh? I
(30:59):
don't know what else is going on? What else is
going on? Um? Man just asking do you have to
come up with anything? I man, just a lot. I really,
I'm honestly, the best thing that's going on in my
life is the fact that, Um, I'm genuinely happy. I
think that's the most important thing in anyone's life is
to be at a place where you can literally wake
up and go to sleep every day and just go wow,
(31:20):
like this was a great day. I'm pretty happy to
be alive. I've got lots of good things going on
in my life. Like I said, I mean, take the
music side out of it, and new new single and
all that feels good. But I have a really awesome, healthy,
five year old little girl that literally makes me smile
like every single day. Um in school now she starts
kindergarten this coming this coming year. Um, but uh, my
(31:42):
family and I would just got back from Pebble Beach.
When I played the golf ball, I did hit someone
with a golf ball. I didn't do it on purpose, though,
but my dad, no, my dad was caddying for me,
so that's cool. You know, he's a cancer survivor, so
you see him right next to me on the World's
Most Beautiful Call. Of course, you know, lots of good things, man,
(32:02):
But you hit some of the golf ball. Yeah, I did. Uh.
That was the second time at that tournament that I
hit someone with the golf ball. This one wasn't as
bad as the first time though. Luckily that was like
before everyone was videoing all the time. But I got
that guy good and he was cool about it. It
hit his head. And these people just standing in the
wrong Yes, that's what they're standing in the right place.
(32:22):
He hit it was twice in the same course. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
wait wait a second, like I'm actually they weren't somewhere,
they weren't supposed to be. No, they were just standing
there as but as patrons of the in the gallery.
And uh, I I don't say this arrogantly, but I
mean I'm a pretty good golfer. And so the shot
I hit that hit the lady this year was not
(32:43):
that bad of a shot. I hit it like ten
yards right of the green, and uh it wasn't. I
mean it was and it kind of hit it right
in the middle of the chest. Oh my goodness. Yeah, yeah,
it was great hoppen. She didn't move. I don't know,
I said ford to hit her from behind. It hit
(33:03):
her straight, like yeah, I mean that happened to me
once with a football. But the the video, like someone
posted this video. I walked up. I felt terrible, and
you never want to hit someone with anything, much less
like golf ball, and uh, I said, I'm really sorry.
I was like, I'm not a good golfer, but I'm
a pretty good golfer. You know, I just said that
would be nice. And her husband chimps and he's like, yeah,
(33:25):
we know. Seriously, I thought you'd be. I thought you're proud.
To be a little hurt by him going yeah, we
know I was. I didn't let anybody know about that,
but I was a little bummed out the guy who said, no,
we know, you're not a good golfer. And I almost
went from like, you know, man, I was just really
nice to your wife to like, well, let's let's go
you know, you and me right now, let's do this.
(33:49):
By the way, I text you and said, hey, come in,
don't about bringing the guitar, just come in. We'll talk.
And he's like, oh, thank god, that's how I read it. Yeah,
because no, I have to. I know you'd be yourself
up before you come in and play, because you're like,
what am I going to play? Need to be perfect? No, well,
not only for myself, but honestly, I mean, dude, that's
what's so great about music these days, this day and age.
(34:09):
Every person you have come on here is so great.
They're awesome. So you're like, man, I want to, like
what if I go on there? I want to. It's
not it's like for me, I just want to be great,
and I want to be I want to compete with
people around me that are in this town that are
as great as they like. I hear him on y'all
Show all the time. You're very competitive and you're competitive
about knowing more covers than anybody else. I know a
lot of those. Yeah. But again, if I say, hey,
(34:31):
Craig Campbell's like with the greatest guy. You're like, no,
he's not all you know, No, he's great yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. Cool. What do you call him that? Craig
Campbell like the cover champion of the World, Like, no,
I play stump Craig Campbell's see, he's like the same
thing though. I mean, he played down there on Broadway
for so long that you've got to be able to
(34:52):
do that. I mean, Jake just he wants it to
be like stump Jake going, and they're both awesome at it,
and I honestly don't know who's better, but I know
it bothers Jake a little bit when someone says they're
better than him and knowing all the songs. It bothers
anyone says they're better at me and anything that's true,
Like it's I mean, I I it's I just I'm
that kind of person. I wish I wasn't. I was
talking to named drop Luke Bryan off the here the
(35:15):
other day and he said, Paul McCartney told me it's
not cool to drop names. Okay, well cool, Lo it
goes that Jake, he's so competitive about him knowing every song,
he said. We sat around the campfire and we just
gave up because Jake knew all the songs. We did
do that. That's true, true story. Yeah. That was in uh,
that was in British Columbia. We were fishing. Dirk's just
(35:37):
like name drop, named drop. Yeah. The Peyton manning there too.
I didn't say that you Yeah, he was man he
was just the four of you all. Uh yeah. Randy
(35:58):
Hawser was there last drop, trying to think, well I
can I can name drop. You know what the drop is.
Let's see how musical you are that dropped? You know
what that's from. I did notice that the first time
name drop just to drop. It's the Beastio Boys. Uh
is that sabotage? No, it doesn't matter. No, I just
(36:21):
want to be recognized. It sounded like you Ray doing
name that's the Beast Boys doing drop, name drop. I
don't know that song. I have to have to do
that though, because I name dropped, and I'm such a
douche that I have to acknowledge my douch nous. Yeah,
you acknowledge at least eight mile yourself. That's why I
say that's right. All right, Hey, thanks for having me.
Glad Jake's checking him. I'm out. Yeah, good to see it.
(36:46):
But the song is really good. I'm happy. I'm happy
for you. I haven't seen Amy, I haven't been in
here since you've had your kids, So congratulations on that.
I followed, I followed through the through the morning show,
and and it's pretty cool to hear you like you're
your transition into motherhood. It's pretty awesome. Thanks. I'll take
any parenting advice that you've got. Don't ask me. The

and a seven year old. That's hard. I mean, how
you a new mom with a ten and a seven
year old? But she's adopted to children. How long they've
been in here? Man, it feels like two years. Huh, Carmen,
check my gray hair? Hey, what would you like to
tell Amy? I just wanted to tell Amy, Um? Hi Amy, Hi, Um,
(38:02):
don't worry so much about it, or don't spend your
time and money on these how to books and stuff.
I think that you just need to follow your heart
and think about what your mom would have done in
those situations. And you, honey, will be just fine, because
I listened to you all every morning, and you are
one of these tweetest, most compassionate people. And I have
(38:23):
not even met you. I can just tell it by
the way you are on the air, and I just
don't think you need all that extra stuff. I think
you're gonna be a wonderful mom. Carmen, in regards to
your comment about any being sweet and compassionate, as sweet
as she sounds on the radio, even sweeter in person,
I totally believed telling you the truth, Carmen, best person
(38:46):
ever been around. I believe you. You make me. I'm
a cloch sharer. I do cloche. It's kind of like
knitting about a crouche, and you just made I just
wanted to croshe your kids all these things because I
know that I know you know that you're here and
they're new here and so I don't know, just here
and you do that and your compassion for those kids
and the love that you have for those kids that
(39:09):
it's just it's all come one and I'm just amazed
by you every day, and I think that you're going
to be to growesome. I'm amazed by you too. Nobody
says something bad about me. You're You're accurate, Carmen, and
thank you for the car. I appreciate you. I hope
you have a good day. Amy. What do you have
to say now? I know your situation is different because
you have two older kids, and I'm sure you have
(39:30):
to read a lot of books about I'm all about
all the how to books and podcasts. I can't just
follow my heart on some of this stuff because I'm
dealing with kids that are coming from an abandonment orphanage
type situation. They are older, they haven't always been in
a loving, nurturing home, So I do need outside help
and advice. Do you have people that you go too?
(39:51):
It's all the humans, Yes, yeah, what I guess I
call mentors that have walked this road before me. I'm
America's mentor. Why don't you come to me, man, American?
I don't hire me just I have all the advice.
I'm not trying to build their brand per se, I'm
trying to shape them into functioning humans. That's that's fair.
(40:13):
That's fair. Well, I'm glad to hear that you're giving
yourself different tools. Yes, you may not have to use them, correct.
I think I just got stuff in my toolbox. A
load up that toolbox too, or lunchbox calls it a
tool chest, but I need it. I think that's good.
You like reading I do these days. I feel like
(40:35):
listening to the audiobook or podcast is is easier for
me to absorb and still get stuff done. I think
the ad because I'm I just finished my second book
and it comes out this summer, and that audio book
I haven't recorded it, I will, people can listen to it.
I think if you listen to a book, it's the
same thing as reading it, and people will go, no,
you don't really read it, you just listen to I
(40:56):
think it's the same thing. I'm totally down with listening
to a book and it's in the same thing as reading.
Do you think you have to disclose that if someone's like, oh,
this is such a great book and be like, oh, yeah,
I read that book. This is what I do. Though
sometimes I will read a book and I'll know where
I am and then on the audio. If I'm driving
for a long time, I'll just go to that part
and bunch back, Eddie. What are you reading an audio? Man?
I got burned by one audio book. It was about
(41:18):
the submarine that was sinking. It was terrible. But that
was my first time to get a book from like
Cracker Barrel, and last time was terrible. It's so bad.
You can't blame the content of the book on the
way the man was reading. He was like that boat
when ouga, are you sure that wasn't a kid's book? Well,
(41:40):
that's a very kind call of her, very it's good
to know that. How things going good? Good? You know.
We have a new nanny just recently, like now, like
in the last few days, and I kind of had
a breakdown to her, like she's gonna quit, She's gonna
quit day one? Did she not yet? It's okay, I've
(42:02):
already cried to her. Yeah, you get that out of
the way. She sees the worst in year. Everything else's phone.
He's like, oh, boy, do you see where Air Force
one has a doctor? Two thousand meals eighty five phones
on it? The interiors four thousand square feet. It's so
crazy that that can fly. It has a conference room,
(42:24):
a dining room, and oval office, a bedroom, a bathroom
for the president, other offices for other staff members. The
aircraft has a medical room in a separate operating room.
Air Force one has its own doctor. It's equipped with
encryption and scrambling devices. There all these phones, armored windows. Man,
that's why the refrigerator costs three million dollars. It's pretty fascinating.
(42:48):
Do you want to know the most fascinating I read
yesterday was Barbara Streisan cloned her dog twice and has
two cloned dogs. It's unbelievable. Who's all the story? I mean,
I guess I read a little bit of it, but
she I didn't realize it was the same dog. She
cloned the same dog twice. Put on my answers story
because I was like, this is like Jurassic Park. And
(43:09):
then I said, since it was a dog, I said,
it was Jurassic bark very much so. In an interview
with Variety, she said that she had this dog is
a fourteen year old died and cells were taken from
her dog's mouth and stomach, and two dogs were made
out of it. Clone two dogs. Now, I love my
(43:32):
dog more than any living thing ever, and I just
can't see cloning it, cloning him. I wonder how much
that costs, how much it help the clone a dog?
Much Google that I think it's umty dollars is what
I read. It's fifty thou for a dog and thod
for a cat. But what are you going to get
from that? Because the dog is not going to be
(43:52):
the same, Like in your heart, what are you hoping
You're not feeling that void of the same dog being gone?
Why not just go save another dog? There's so many
dogs that need a home. But I guess if you're
really attached and you have that, but that dog's gone,
I know, dog's gone. It sucks. Amy's dog just died.
My dog's about to die. It all suck, it really does.
(44:12):
But I don't Yeah, you're right, I don't know that
I would want to have cloned her because it's not her.
I'm not trying to hate. I'm just trying to understand here.
I just hand it to me. Amy, You're right, Thank you.
That's crazy. Fifty grand for a dog a cat. The
company as also offers genetic preservation for bucks. They do
(44:33):
a biopsyne they say, the tissues so they can clone
it later. I see hundred bucks that you do me.
Oh we should clone you? Why not? But it wouldn't
really be you. He'd be like evil Bobby or something.
I don't care. I send it over to California. Do
all that West Coast stuff like Stephan to get up?
Are they over there? And stuff? Stinks? Man, there's a
tattoo hartist to ink his whole body, and he also
(44:53):
did his eyeballs and inside his mouth. That hurts to
think about. Yeah, his name is eli Ink. He changed
his name, of course he did a yes, great observation name.
You think this entire body, including his eyeballs and the
inside of his mouth. The eyeball things crazy to me.
The mouth thing is just you're just showing out so
(45:15):
you can go hey to check this out. The eyeball thinks,
seems so dangerous. Even the people that were getting those
eye eyelash tattoos. Oh yeah, I can't talk about eyeliner.
Yeah that's crazy to me. Oh yeah, no, that's not
crazy to me. Getting your eyeball no no, no, it's
a more yes, but getting your eye liner tattooed on
(45:37):
you it's it's a needle so close to your eye.
Have you done that? Not crazy to me? I did
my eyebrows tattoo that micro blading. We talked about it.
Morgan was thinking about doing it. It's not tattoo. Technically,
it's called micro blading. They cut open your skin with
a blade and then pour ink inside. That's what that is.
(45:59):
I thought it was like sewing. They were like sewing
your eye with something. Jason Aldi's birthday today, Happy birthday.
Here's some facts about Jason. He was the number seven
highest paid country music last year at thirty two point
five million dollars. I know when you think about it,
just straight up, I wouldn't treat him nicer when he
(46:20):
comes in. What why let me share his money with us?
That never worked. Aldine changed his name because there was
an artist already named Jason D. Williams performing all over Nashville.
So to stop the confusion, he changed the middle of
his change, spelling his middle name, which was Aldine to Aldine.
Really clever. Of the many jobs he had before music,
(46:43):
he sold pages at I'm All Kiosk because lucky numbers
number nine. His baseball jersey. Did you know that Jake
Owen was offered Big Green Tractor first, and he passed.
How about that? Turned it down, became Out's biggest hit
to day. It's spending multiple weeks at number one. Big Faster, Dude,
(47:06):
I don't even own a tractor. I'm good, dude. That
song out there I don't want to do and if
you won't like that he went for Jake went for
what eight seconds d I don't know what it was.
I don't know if a song he wrote, I don't know.
But his first career card, Jason Alden was a pickup trucks.
I bought it with the money made for planing bars.
(47:27):
He has a vintage t shirt collection. He spend time
on eBay shopping for them. I feel like we see
a lot of them. He wears a lot of old shirts.
And he has nineteen number one singles. Who can't even
play a show? That's all I mean. It's a whole
set list. Wow. And songs that are bigger that weren't
number one, like hick Town that wasn't a number one
song and it's massive. I have for you now my
favorite Jason al Dean's songs number three, two, number one,
(47:49):
You're Ready, Number three. It wasn't even a single to
Night Town that you spent three nuts with a bunch
of suits on trying to get girl up in a
little crazy. Since you won't tell wound to spend three
(48:13):
nets into that, that song should have been a single.
That's a good one. Number two Big Green track, you
can take another bad on my Big Green track. And
my favorite Jason al Dean song in my list. Number
one is don't you want to Stay? With Kelly Clarkson
Don't want to Stay? That's a Jamie you like that one.
(48:38):
I haven't thought about it in a really long time.
Day out with me. When I was doing my research
for this segment, I was going through the whole and
I was like, oh, that's my favorite, that's one. Then
I get it out that's my favorite, and I ended
up with this gonna be my favorite. Happy Birthday, Jason Aldan,
(48:59):
You're Amy's pile of stories. To have the number one
reason that contestants get rejected from The Bachelor, oh, psychological
profiles sort of. It does have to do with your health.
What is it? Well, you have to have a clean
bill of health so they can't have STDs if they
go on the Bachelor. Yeah, they get tested and all
(49:21):
the stuff. A psych evaluation is done, but that's not
the number one reason people get rejected. They actually we're
all psycho on that show. Yeah, you're exactly right. Hey,
you know that's a good thing, because if I were
the Bachelor, I will be concerned because you know, really
the bachelors are getting with a lot of those girls.
I will be concerned. Oh yeah, of course I will
be concerned that that that I was getting something. But
(49:44):
if they're already covered, and I mean, that's a good thing.
M It's just kind of like the sixties again, free
love man. Yeah, but stock not Bachelor. Okay, so it
looks like there could be a Fresh Prince of bel
Air reboot, but it'll be the Fresh Princess of bel Air. Yeah,
(50:04):
so it won't really be the same cast because Uncle
Phil's dead. Will Smith was on Instagram saying he will
never be back on the show, but kind of the
same theme but with a young female, which I think
is a good idea. I don't like it when shows
come back and just try to make a whole new,
indefinite run. I like it if shows come back and
(50:25):
they do one more season and that's it. Just like
our athletes. We don't want to see Michael Jordan's get
so old and crappy that we feel bad for him.
At this point, I look at the Will and Grace
Show and I'm like, stop, this isn't good anymore. But yeah,
I'm okay with this a whole new set and it's
on rerun so much now on on TV Land that
young people are seeing it. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, so
(50:47):
what else they'll know? What's up? Spice Girls are going
to perform at Prince Harry and Megan's wedding. Is that
for sure? Because I saw that one of the Spices
had mentioned to that, No, you don't let that slip. No,
she was on the reel yesterday and she let it slip.
My point is you say that on purpose, even if
(51:08):
you act like you didn't. But what did she say exactly? Well,
she admitted that they, the whole group they were going
to be attending the wedding, and then, after being pressed
a little bit, she hinted that they're also going to
be singing. And Megan's a huge fan of the Spice Girls.
It makes not even British, that's the weird thing. What
I'm a huge fan of the Spice Girls. I was
a Spice girl my senior year of high school. Which
(51:28):
one the redheaded one? No? Who was I? My friend
and I were? I think I was scary spice were you, Dobie?
What what is that for? Oh? That's when seven do.
I don't even I don't even know if that was
like funny or rude. It was funny. Don't worry. Well
if you love Netflix and their original shows and binging them,
(51:51):
the CEO announced that they are coming up with seven
hundred new original Netflix shows. That's a lot of it's
a lot of binging. It's so much now that I
can't enjoy it because I turn it on and I go, wow,
they're all these new shows. I don't know which one
I want to invest my time in. It's so much
(52:12):
like overload that's watched the Office. Oh, it's just too
many shows. You should give some of the original ones.
Or read a book. Oh, stop stop with the books.
Read bear Bones. No, I don't read your book in
the Countil June. Okay, well we'll start. We'll start saying
(52:32):
that when it comes out. I'm with you. Read books,
listen to audio books, educate yourself, but also be up
to speed on what Netflix has coming out. You're the worst.
Amy's running to a whole new persons to the parents.
What do you mean I barely know? Watch it for me,
I don't get to watch it. I wish gone are
the days that I binged? Yeah? Okay, cool. Cathy Lakes
(52:53):
coming out by the way of Kathy Lee Gifford. So
can't wait? An you want, She's about to come in
and the else you want to say? No, Mamy, that's
my power. That was Amy's pile of stories on the
Bobby Bones Show. Now, Lee, Cassie Lee, how are you, Bobby.
I'm so happy to see you. Look at finally you
and I've been talking for about a month or so,
(53:14):
didn't get you in here. I'm so glad you came down.
I am so excited to be sharing this with you.
Because when we were planning on the release of this,
I thought, oh, I gotta gotta call Bobby so I'm
gonna get to the song in one second, because she
has a new song called Love Me to Death, which
is really good. I think the concept is what first
I was like, Oh, I need to hear this, and
I heard it. I want to get to that one
second yeah, yeah, I have lots of questions though, Okay,
(53:35):
just generally, so you're here in the morning time, you
have to wake up in the morning. I'm I'm a
writer around the same same time as you, like three
o'clock in the morning, which would be two o'clock for you. Yeah,
but I've been doing it for so many years. I
don't live in the city. I live in Connecticut, so
you know, I've always been doing the commute and I
love the early early morning. I gotta I gotta not says, hey,
you should check out Cassy Lee song. And so I
(53:55):
listened to it and then you text me and I said, oh,
we gotta get you down here because tell me what
this song, because it's not just you singing, it's also
Brett James. Tell me about this song. Well, um, I
was leaving for Scotland last summer in August and to
go to it's called location scouting, trying to find the
perfect places for all the scenes i'd written. And he said,
(54:16):
send me some pictures as we're going along. And we
had just written a song, um called once Again, which
I thought was going to be our title song. But
things change in the creative process. So anyway, we just
finished writing it and we were both really really happy
with it. You know, we we nailed the song, to
which he texted me back, I can't stop singing our song. Now.
(54:37):
I go to sleep in a four hundred year old
castle and that that's on my brain. Can't stop singing
your song. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning,
which I most of the time do, and um, and
these lyrics just came to me, just boom, boom boom.
I was a little embarrassed. They're very sensual, but they
were for my character Annabelle in our movie. And UM
(54:58):
texted him the next day, said him a litt embarrassed,
but um, I think I have our closing credit song.
And he goes, will send them to me, and he's
he read him. He goes, yeah, so and he's so great.
He just wrote this incredible melody to it. And now
it's now we got it. Now you are debuting it
for us all actually today, but the very first day.
(55:20):
So this is the released I'm gonna play right now,
Kathy Lee and here is love Me to Death, You
close close, let Me Love you on the Bobby Bones Show.
(55:40):
Now that right there, thank you. I can tell you
love it because you were singing along with it. You
know what this his melody is get in your head.
It's really you can't stop singing them. And that's that's great.
I mean, it's that's you know, you got you got
a good song. I should say, I know, but I
didn't know you were such a good singer. I didn't
even do this for such a long time. Like I've
(56:02):
known the last few years, you've been putting at these
songs and I see him do really well, But you've
been singing even named that tune back in the day. Yeah,
nineteen seventy seven was my big break in this business.
It was I was at a La La lady on
on Name that Tune and so many so many years ago.
And then right after that, I came to Nashville and
(56:22):
did us. I was spent most of the next year
here doing a sitcom called he Honeys with all the
I was the only one that wasn't uh you know,
in the e haawk cast, and everybody just welcomed me
so beautifully, and it was just I made lifetime friends.
That's when I met Dolly, That's when I met Barbara
Mandrell and the Gatlins and Kenny Rogers, and they're all great,
great pals of mind to this day. So Nashville has
(56:45):
always had a huge, huge, huge place in my heart.
Allows you to hear this clue because pulled a clip
here this is you from named that tune, Oh my gosh,
nineteen seventy four, Here we go. Here was one more tune,
the final one in this round, Kathy, if you please,
is there anyone fine, Carolina? There is no that's you know.
(57:21):
That's when I had an extra octave so long ago.
I wish I sang like that now. I think I
was twenty two or something. I don't know. How trying
are you musically? Um? I it was my minor in college,
but I didn't graduate from college, So that tells you
I just learned by doing. I learned by doing. My
dad used to say to me, Cathy, find something you
(57:41):
love to do and then figure out a way to
get paid for it. When do you get to go
out and perform these songs with people? Why don't you
go to tour? I still have a day job. I'm
still with the Today Show. So yeah, and it's funny.
I mean, I I can record now, but I haven't
sung professionally in fifteen years. I had some damage to
my to my voc of chords when my daddy was
dying and I hadnemonia and didn't go and get on
(58:04):
antibiotics because he was literally in hospice and by the
time I did, I'd had some some bad damage to
my vocal cords. So I, uh, so Brett is the
one that he bamboozled me. He came up to my
house and in Connecticut, and I have a studio in
my house, and I when we wrote Jesus, he saw Jesus.
I said, well, listen, I don't sing anymore. So who
(58:24):
are we gonna get to sing this? Let's get mine o,
nor let's get faith or let's get you know, uh,
somebody that can actually sing, you know, And so we
can talk about that. But in the meantime, why don't
you just do the demo? And I said, well, I
can do the demo because you can fix me in
in the studio. You can you know, you can make
me sound like well, not exactly like Carrie Underwood, but
close right. So it's sad that we can do that
(58:46):
these days you staf to have talent. But anyway, um
so he said so we recorded it that day and um,
I said, so, who are we going to get to
sing it? And he goes, well, well, here's what I'm
gonna do. I'm gonna take your vocals back to now
shil I'm gonna you know, comp them, and then I'm
gonna um add some live strings and I that's dead
(59:06):
giveaway to anybody that's been the music business. I said.
I just looked at him, like you stinker, and he's
he just sort of smiles and he goes, nobody can
sing this song. But Kathy Lee and I did sing it.
I was scared to death because you know, literally hadn't
sung live in years. And I did it on the
Today Show and it instantly went viral, and that's when
it became the number one hit, you know, because people
(59:28):
loved my husband, They really loved him, and people were
fascinated by the way I came back after losing him.
Except I didn't lose him. That's one of the lines
in the in the song. No, I didn't lose him.
I know right where he is because he was never
really mine. He was always his meaning God. So um,
but after he passed away, I came back a week
later and talked about it on the air and that
(59:50):
went viral. I think eighty million people are so I've
seen that. So it's just the whole world has changed
since I got into this business. Bobby is such a
little I was ten years old when I started singing
professionally with my stir so you know, the technology can
be used for good too. So I was just amazed
that that that this could happen. Especially I like to
be surprised at this point in my life. You know. Um,
(01:00:13):
let's see, so you're here, Yeah, you're on TV, you're
making music, You're pretty much Jennifer Lopez now. So I've
always had I wish I looked like Jennifer again. You're
Jennifer Lopez again here before and after. Yeah. Yeah, I've
been around a long long time. I'm grateful. You know,
I've had a fifty year career pretty much, well now
it's fifty four year career. It's amazing. Um. I think
(01:00:36):
it's because I've always just been authentic. You may not
like me, but it's it's based on authenticity. You may
not like me, and that's fine. Everybody has their opinions.
But the people that are still my fans after all,
these years have become my friends and and they know
what they know, what they're gonna get. I think they're
gonna be surprised by this movie because this is I'm
usually very much involved in the faith based world because
(01:00:58):
that's a huge part of my life. But this time
I wanted to examine what it's like for people who
have no personal faith. They're on a journey trying to
find it, but they haven't been enlightened in an they're
always talking about having to haven't been enlightened yet, and
that's most of the world. I think most people are
looking for something. Most most people are trying to find
(01:01:18):
some truth in their life. And so it was fun
for me as a as a as the writer to
examine what would I do? What would this character do
when she loses her husband? Uh doesn't lose him? Well, yeah,
in her case, she feels like she did lose him,
uh because she has no idea where he went or
what happened to him, and so that's why she's heads
(01:01:39):
out on this journey. But um, it was fascinating and
it freed me up because most of my friends are
not necessarily followers of Jesus the way I am. I
love these people. I just love them. I took a
bunch of people on a trip to Israel a couple
of years ago. It was my Sikh friends, my Hindu friends,
my Scientile of g friends, my atheist friends, my agnostic friends,
(01:02:03):
my broken hearted Catholic friends, my still uh confused Baptist friends. Videos.
It was quite the group and we all just had
the most amazing spiritual time there because they're just great people,
and um, I just think we need to get back
to that in this world. You know, it's not you
don't have to agree with me to be my friend.
(01:02:23):
You know, we're gonna put the video up to Bobby
Bones dot com. So the song and the video they're
all out. I'm very grateful that you came by today
when Kathy Lee, everybody, thank you, everybody, thank you, Thanks

(01:02:46):
hanging out. Tomorrow Anderson East comes in. You're gonna perform
one of my favorite records. So he's gonna come into
so all that and check us on Instagram. Mr Bobby Bones,
what oh Radio, Amy, there you go. I've don't think
if you ever asked my mine is Yeah, sorry about that,
lunch box Radio, lunch box. It's great, it's fun and
you'll be entertained. Hey, By the way, the big debate
(01:03:08):
is who we want to fight Eddie with two arms
and he with one? Like if I if I tied
my marm beham a bag and fight him with one arm? Amy,
Who would you bet on? How much money? Amy? I
don't know the amount of Okay, then she doesn't believing you.
I got you, lunch box, He would you take? Oh,
you only have one arm and he has to man.
(01:03:29):
If it goes more than two rounds, it's gonna be
Bobby because Edie's gonna run out of gas. Who would
you bet, though, I'll bet Bobby. Wow, that's terrible. They
must think you should we try this? You one arm
behind your back, me two arms? Yeah, and maybe a switchblade.
