the way across the city without cracking an egg. Oh man,
or without cracking like one percent of the egg. I'm
not just one egg. Yeah, because I don't think we

watch Breaking Bobby Bones on Sunday night, Nat Geo. I'm
an eighteen wheeler driver, big rig rolling on the Real Highway,
(02:44):
driving an eighteen wheeler, and I was clueless and I
thought I might kill somebody, honestly, like, I was scared,
not for my safety, for everybody else's. Yeah, I've seen
the promo and I'm nervous for you. I haven't seen
the promo. I haven't seen anything about it, so it's
pretty nerve wrecking. Yeah, Nat Geo, I hope you guys
watch Breaking Bobby Bones a Sunday night. Please do. Let's
open up the mail bag something. Hello Bobby Bones. My
(03:11):
husband and I are newly married and I noticed something
that he does that kind of grosses me out. When
he takes a shower, he doesn't use a fresh washcloth
every time. He'll either reuse the one I just used
or use the one that he's been using in the
shower the last couple of times. He says, it doesn't
matter because it's clean. Since you just rinsed it in
clean water after you shower, it's still a clean washcloth.
(03:33):
Does anyone on the show reuse washcloths? Is it not
as gross as I think it is to do that.
Is there anything on that your spouse does that grosses
you out? I love the show and listen to the
podcast every day. Thanks in advance for your advice, Sincerely,
a grossed out wife. First of all this situation, I
don't reuse washcloths. However, I don't use a lot of washcloths.
(03:54):
I got a little soap dispenser that puts soap in
with my hands, and I have a little scrub that can.
It makes me use because I was getting like piples
on the top of my back and my chest because
I would sweat and it would just stay in like
a little hair ab there. And so now there's a
little scrub that she makes me do. So I don't
really use washcloths, though I don't. I think it's pretty
gross to use it again and again. I know, but
(04:14):
I mean, if you think about it, that's what you're
doing with a lufa. But that's why they say lufa's
are bad. So I get that. But so I just
something about a lufa seems more acceptable to use over
and over, but a washcloth absolutely not. I was cringing
while you were reading that. Well I wasn't cringing, but
I'm against it. I'm against doubling up the washcloths. Yeah,
because there's skin and dead skin. You know. Maybe a
(04:35):
lufa seems okay because it looks like it's that's what
it's supposed to do. But I'll washcloth, you know, back
to you. I don't even know if that's a thing
we're gonna go with. It is gross to use a
washcloth more than once. Yeah, you're okay to be grossed
out by it. It also stinks to have to do
that much laundry, though could be fair if you're taking
a shower and it's a dirty one every night. It's
a little teeny tiny, six by six square. What about
(04:57):
a towel. Can you reuse a towel? Yeah, a few times. Sure,
I'm good for two towel times. Yeah. Get your clean skin, yeah,
I mean that's that's up to you. But I not
a washcloth that's been scrubbing all over your body. I agree,
So we're settled on it is gross. Now. Is there
anything that your spouse does the grosses you out? Yeah?
I mean he picks at his feet. He has some
(05:18):
like weird fungus things that he picked up in the
Middle East, like when he was in the military. Still
has it pretty sure. He's like one time he left
for Afghanistan, came back, you know, there's community showers all
the military people like I don't even know what's going
on over there. And he comes back and he's got
this weird thing going on with his toes and his
feet still has it and picks at it. Then that's
(05:39):
unfortunate for him. No, I feel bad because I'm like, wow,
you were serving our country. Yeah, That's why I didn't
jump on your team on this one. I was just like,
I feel bad for him. Yeah, but no, you don't.
Doesn't mean you have to pick at it. Oh what
about you? Calin's pretty a plus on on the gross stuff.
I will say that in a pinch. And she's only
told me this because I'm a carter. She's just used
my toothbrush, oh to me, And she acts like that's
(06:02):
not a big deal. No, that's a big but to me,
I'm like, oh, that's not for me. I don't like that. Yeah,
And sometimes she puts it on my face, like, hmm,
I just use your face brush because you know your
wife do anything gross. Yeah, the toothbrush, that's what that's
what he does it too. She does the toothbrush. She's
wrong with y'all's women. I have no idea, And I'm
always like, use your own toothbrush, please, that's disgusting. Yeah.
(06:23):
But guys, I was gonna tell you my washcloth that
I bathed myself with this morning. I mean that's been
in there for two weeks. Oh, you're good on that.
You take that guy's side. I do, because you do
wash it with soap and you dry it out like
you would do the laundry every day. I don't feel
like that's the same. I can see it in your face.
I don't think that's the same. But you, I'm glad
you have that opinion. All right, thank you for that email,
close it up. We've got your That was about the
(06:49):
cloth bag Morgan. If they want to email us, what
do they do? Mailbag at Bobby Bones dot com on
The Bobby Bones Show. Now, Bradley, all right, we're all
premiere day. Brandley's on The Worst Country Song of All
Time is on about to play it in a second
with Toby Keith and also Hardy. How hard is it
Brandley to get Toby Keith to do a song these days?
(07:09):
Not easy, brother, I promise you that it was kind
of a Honestly, it was a long shot. We wrote
that last first, kind of catered to him, hoping that
that would help. And you know, Toby's a pretty serious dude.
You know, he takes what he stands for serious and
and I respect those things about him, but he's also
one of those that don't mind having a good time.
So he h you know, I called him and we
(07:32):
talked it out and he jumped on it. And I
can't tell you how stoked we are to have him
on it. It's kind of the stamp of approval. You
ever hung out with Toby not professionally, yeah, a little bit,
you know when you're on the road, there's still a
little bit of business involved always, but rable to spend
a little bit of time with him, and you know,
spend some time with him on the phone and when
(07:54):
we were not on stage and on the road, and
he was super cool to me, and he was super
cool to my guys on the road. You know, we're
a family out there, So that meant the world to
me and and I think the world to him. So
being able to do a song with him is an honor. Man,
I'm stoked. Tell me about the worst country song of
(08:14):
all time? Like you're in a room, you gotta start
writing it. Like, what was the idea in the room?
You and Hardy wrote this song? Yeah, me and Hardy
and Hunter Phelps and h and will Weatherly and you know,
Hardy said, hey, guys, I've got this idea in my phone.
I don't know if there's anything to it. It's called
the worst country song all time. And we all had
a good laugh and kind of shrugged it off and
(08:37):
joked about it a little bit, and the next thing
you know, we're actually writing it. So then it just
kind of took off from there. Man. Honestly, it's you know,
obviously tongue in cheek and meant to be funny and
meant to be fun And you know, that's not a
side of my coin that people get to see very
(08:58):
often from us. You know, it's usually arms crossed, looking
at the camera like we're gonna beat it up and
that kind of thing. So, especially when the climate our
society is so overly serious right now, I think it'll
be good for everybody to kind of laugh a little bit,
smile a little bit and have a good time with listening.
(09:18):
And you're knocked down at camera days? Did you ever
and whenever take a picture of you like I don't
want a picture, and you did knock a camera out
of their hand? That ever happened, I don't know. I
didn't do it over at Charles Place. Well, Kanye would
do that though, Like right, people would put up a
camera and be like, hell, let me get your picture.
He's like, get out of my face and knock it out.
I just wonder if that was a like in Brandley's
you know, Troubled Days, if you ever knocked a camera
(09:39):
out of somebody's hand, I would say there's probably better
than a fifty percent chance, there's one hundred percent chance
that whoever it happened to remembers it more than I do.
What does it mean? I mean, I know what it means,
But what does it mean to you when it says
produced by Brantley Gilbert? Did you send in the studio
and produce a song yourself? For sure? Man, we came
(10:01):
taking a different approach to this a record, you know,
with with COVID and everything going on. It was a
little bit of a different price where a lottle bit
of a different process for us, and um, it was
it was kind of one of those things where we
we really worked off a lot of demos man, and
and uh made what we could happen. But you know,
everybody was kind of operating and recording in their own
(10:22):
little space. So if you get into a spot and
you want live drums or you want this guitar player
on it, you kind of send it to them, they
play the part, you know, send it back to us.
And and uh, I tried to be in a chair
beside beside will Wesley or brought Barry Hillett off, but
you know, as often as possible and put in my
ten cents, and uh, you know it's uh, it's something
(10:45):
I'm proud to have my name next too, and and
and I'm excited for everybody to hear this whole album.
All right, here we go world premiere day. We're gonna
play it now, the worst country song of all time
with Toby Keith and Hardy which, by the way, Brentley
will be on the road starting uh June twenty fifths,
so looking at next week all the way up until
May six. He's basically all over the country. You guys.
Check out the tour dates at Brantley Gilbert dot com. Bradley,
(11:06):
good to talk to you. I didn't think anything about this,
but I'm getting a lot of messages that that Brantley
Gilbert song is basically the same song Eddie and I
and John Party did with can't say that in a
country song, because his whole song is this is the
worst country song ever. You couldn't put all this stuff
in a country song, Yeah, which is kind of our song.
And that's what and that's what we did a couple
(11:29):
of months ago, which is fine, But I really didn't
think about it. And now Lunchbox and Ray are telling
me to sue. Yeah, sue. Listen, we have to have
lawyers that listen to this show, and I guarantee if
someone will take up this case pro bono. I don't
guarantees this. Listen. I don't know that there's anything you
(11:50):
can have the same concept. Listen, it's Is it weird
that it's at the same time, you know, two months
after we put ours out? Yes, it's very weird. I've
never heard this concept before we put it out. Is
it weird? Yes? But do I think there's anything to it? No?
I think it's just accidental. Should we ask a lawyer
if there's anything? Yeah, because man, I just got hit
(12:11):
with a bad like plumbing bill. I mean, that's gonna
really help out, you know what I'm saying. Let me
ask Lunchbox and Ray, what do you guys suggest. I
would say you had to sit down with an attorney
and sue because they obviously obviously heard your song and said, hey, man,
this is a great idea. I don't know they did. Listen,
Hardy and Brantley wrote that, like you said. And to
other people, I don't know they heard this song. Maybe
(12:31):
they're fans. Oh you should, I mean, and they do
have music lawyers. I just google what does a music lawyer?
Music specialized who deals in legal issues surrounding the music industry,
copyright infringement, Bohm, Let's go. I didn't think anything about this.
I still don't. I'm not gonna fall. The latest from
(12:54):
Nashville and Tullywood Number two Skinny lots of new music
out today. Lauren Elena released a new song called If
the World was a small town. If the world was
a small town, I want a settle for the way
we want to settle down. Boy in fighting and thistle
(13:15):
stuck around. Would a moment if her baby, Maybe we
would have made it before made. Brentley Gilbert released his
collaboration with Toby Keith and Hardy called the worst country

Cole Swindell and David Lee Murphy called Beer with My

(14:38):
It's time for the good news lunchbox. Something good. It
was graduation day in Center Point, Alabama, when Timothy Harrison
showed up for his shift at waffle house and his
manager said, hey, man, aren't you supposed to be at graduation?
He goes, oh, I don't have a way to get
across town to the ceremony, and she goes, oh, wait,
(15:00):
right there, so called a different manager that wasn't working
that day, drove him to the local store, bought him
some new slacks a dress shirt, drove him to the
ceremony to get his cap and gown, and didn't ever
take it to the ceremony. So the assistant managers waited
in the parking lot while he graduated. Wow, they couldn't
get that assistant in there. They couldn't sneak him into watch.
He said, I had people that wanted to see me succeed,
(15:20):
so it kind of made me excited. When I put
on the clothes. That was a different feeling I've never had.
I don't even know the words worth a million dollars.
It was the best feeling in the world. That's pretty cool.
It does made me want to waffle too. Yeah, I
love waffle House. To me, wins like when it comes
to breakfast places or late night places, it's waffle House
for me all the way. Some people like I hop
(15:43):
and some people are snooty. I want to say it
right there, waffle House. There is waffle House. They don't
They don't treat you any different. Rich, poor, black, white, tall,
short people into waff House. It's one. You know, my
family came in eight the other night on the plane.
I want to go pick him up at like one
in the morning, and waffle House was Yeah, I mean
(16:06):
it was hard metting pills walk up a waffle house. Okay, Lunchbox,
that's a good one. That's what it's all about. That
was tell me something good. It is time for fun
Fact Friday, where Amy comes in. She's tough to beat
and she takes on a new challenger every single week.
Today that challenger is Morgan number two. All right, they'll
(16:27):
get five fun facts, and what we'll do is pick
which one we think Gabe the most fun fact, personal
what the most points wins. Lunch Bucks will not be
on the panel today because the last week you said
you were going to vote against Amy regardless which got
you two weeks suspension. Oh you gotta be careful. The
panel today judging me Eddie Raymundo. Let's go with fun
(16:48):
fact Friday hit US number five. So the employees at
Disney parks aren't allowed to point with one finger at
anything because it could be seen as a negative gesture.
So if you ever see them pointing, they've got two
fingers because other countries that one finger point could be bad. Well,
in America, there's a certain one finger points. It's pretty
bad too, right, But a lot of times we point
(17:08):
is something We take our index finger and we point,
but they have to do two. It's interesting, almost like
a flight attendant. Okay, Morgan, did you know that you
can sneeze faster than a cheetah can run? Clocking in
at one hundred miles per hour. We sneeze faster than
cheetahs run. Okay, it's a good rookie, one cold start, Eddie.
(17:31):
All right, So I'm gonna go with Amy because I'm
going to Disney over the summer, so fun, I'm definitely
gonna try this out. Excuse me, where is the lemonade stand?
And then there goes the right, Well, can you point
to it? I'm gonna see what they do. So Amy,
I love your fact. Raymuna, Yeah, let's go with Amy definitely. Eddie,
let me know if they go two fingers or one
at Disney. You got it. Ray, I'm going Amy as
well on this one. That one was a pretty easy one.
(17:52):
But again it was your first time ever Morgan. Number two,
Cheeta doesn't sneezy? Next number four. So Barry Manilow wrote
the jingle for State Farm hit it good neighbors. Now
do you people know who Barry Manilow is? Uh? Copa cabanah? Yeah.
(18:14):
At the Yeah, he has a bunch of songs, but
I don't know that at the younger age, wouldn't who
Barry Manilow is. Okay, But he also wrote the jingle
for band Aid. Are Barry Manilow? Okay, there you go,
Barry Manilow. Morgan. Goose bumps are meant to ward off predators.
(18:36):
It came from our ancestors to help us appear bigger
when up against predators and trying to be on the
defense and look more intimidating. Okay, So goose bumps make
us bigger and bigger scares away people that are mean, Okay.
Ramondo gotta go Morgan number two. None of the millennials
really know Barry Manilow Eddie. I love Morgan number two is,
(18:57):
but I'm not a millennial and I'm a jingle writer.
I did one for whosi. What's its right? Amy? I
love the very Manloe story. Morgan's is interesting because like,
why do we have goosebumps? But I don't feel bigger
when I get him. I don't feel like anyone wanted
to beat me up and I got goosebumps and they're like, whoah, sorry, buddy.
I gotta go with Amy too. I think her delivery
(19:18):
was not good. I think she should have started with
a very Manalowe song to show people. But because I
do know who he is, I'm also gonna go with Amy,
and there is Amy with two points? All right? Okay?
Number three? Well, copper doorknobs are self disinfecting, so somebody
needs to tell me why every door knob in the
world is not made out of copper? Is it? Price? Probably?
(19:39):
I would assume that. Yet, Oh that's the coolest thing though,
Like I now, I figured Bobby, you would want to
know that, at least at your house you could copper
it up moderately, Morgan, yours. There's only one animal on
earth that can't jump, and it's an elephant. An elephan
can't jump at all. Can't jump, hello, legs. They don't
(20:00):
jump over stuff in the circus or anything. I mean,
they might be able to if they're forced to, but
their physical body is not allowing them to jump. All right,
this is a pretty easy one. Copper door knobs or
jumping elephants, Ray, jumping elephants, Morgan two, Eddie, not a germophobe.
Give me the elephants. So I mean too. I just
think it's more fun anyway. Jumping elephants for the win.
All right, two to one, Morgan, you'll go first this time, okay,
(20:22):
number two. The dot over the lowercase I or J.
Do you know what it's called? Silipsy a tittle? Oh easy, hey,
bleet that out now. I'm just getting everyone wonder what
she said? Hey, no, no, it just sounds like something else.
What a tittle? A tittle t I t t elie.
(20:44):
It's the what, the dot over the what, the eye
and the J when they're a lowercase. Hey, don't forget
to get your tittle. Hey, okay, Amy, So a pharaoh
once lathered up his people around him in honey so
that all the bugs would go towards them and he
would be bug free. That's funny like his you know,
servant type people. I mean awful. Let me say, first
(21:07):
of all, awful, but wow, I know that's how Nope,
that's awful. You kind of jack. Then I don't care Ray, Amy,
Pharaoh and Honey very interesting and cruel Eddie. You know,
I don't know. I'm stuck between this one, but I'm
gonna have to lean towards Amy the tittle thing like
(21:29):
it's interesting to me, but Pharaoh I like it. Yeah, Amy,
I gotta go. I like the tittle, but I'm gonna
have to go with the honey as as the winner
there on that one. All right, one more down to
the number one. Number one, Well, dolphins have been trained
to use in wars. Huh, I never knew this, but
(21:50):
what dolphins were trained to use in wars? In a war.
But like in the water, they would use them to
do things like even in Vietnam they could train them
to like carry things down or do stuff. I don't know.
It's just the funny fat that like dolphins, is it not?
(22:10):
You can give us more details nothing fun. And it
also war is not fun, right, Like, let's talk about
something fun. Well, let's start with war. But if she
knew like how they train them, like I read about it,
or if they use machine guns, right, what you're saying
dolphins the grenades? Right, yeah, it'd be like, Wow, that's cool.
What is it? Flippers? No? See, I read the whole
(22:34):
paragraph about it, but now I can't remember exactly what
they did. I just thought it was interesting that dolphins,
like we hear about dogs being used to like help out.
They weren't harmed, they were helped. Don't know they weren't harmed.
Now you're just making stuff up, Morgan, what is your fag? Okay,
does anybody ever wanted to know why your fingers and
toes shrivel up when you're in water for a long time?
I do want to know that it's because our body
(22:55):
is trying to find a way to improve our grip
on wet objects, much like rain treads in car tires.
It's pretty cool. Yeah, it's better than a war dolph. I, well,
did you know the dolphins could be trained to use Yeah,
dolphs are very smart. Yeah, I know they're smart, but
being used in war. Was that flipper when he threw
the bottle back in the boat? Yeah, Ray, you gotta go.
(23:18):
Oh my gosh, you don't have to. M too. Always
wondered why shriveled up? Me too, And I'll go with
the Morgan me too. But that means though the three
two victory, Amy wins again. A lot of strategy in
this game, A lot of strategy. Amy, congratulations. Yeah, don't
be sour because your last one day. I'm not sour,
(23:40):
but okay. So the dolphins were used to detect submarines
and underwater mines. It's not a good look. She's fighting it. Yeah,
she promises. No dolphin got No. I'm starting to think
maybe they did get hurt. Anything in war, probably got hurt. Yeah, shoot,
all right, thank you you are the winner. Though. Fun
(24:01):
fact Friday, close it up, raymondo. Fun the fact that
you call us after the show and leave us voicemails.
We love it, We're appreciative for it. This is James.
I want to leave a little message about this SCAMMERA
check that Amy might have. If she looks on the
check and whatever thinks of its road on, she should
(24:22):
go to that bank and cash it that way, she
didn't have to put her banking information. Okay, and you're
doing that this weekend. Yes, we'll be taking care of it.
I'll have an update for you next week. Amy got
a check from those cat people that were scamming her,
and then a listener calls it, don't put it in
the bank. We'll get into your bank. We don't know
what's happened. Yeah, there's something called a scammera check. Yeah,
let us know. Okay, Monday, Katie and san Antonio left

it's like a cicada. I bet it's me, dang it.
He's Amy's pile of stories. There's a web designer that
(25:32):
named his baby ht m L. I saw that. I
want to be if he calls HTML or just hy h. Well,
technically the boy's name is Hypertext Markup Language, which is
what HTML stands for. That makes sense. They're they're they're
calling the baby HTML for sure. I mean it's like
(25:53):
if you you named your baby after your career, Like
who would it be after my career? Like you're in
radio or TV or like he's a web designer, so
he likes eight called the microphone or the FM. What's FM? Stanforgan?
Frequency modulation? There you got guys modulation, little modulator over here,
(26:14):
modge Yeah for sure. I mean they have to call
that baby H right because you get tired with hey,
HTML come here? Yeah? Okay. So I love when foods
collab and cinnamon toast cut Crunch is now collabing with
cinnamon rolls. So Pillsbury dough Boy and they have cinnamon
toast Crunch cookies coming out and cinnamon rolls with the
(26:35):
cinnamon toast crunch. I can't even I'm so excited. That's
pretty good. Although we talk about this stuff and we
never ever go buy it. We're always like, I'm so
excited for it, and then I never see it in
my real life. It's always it comes and goes like
a ship of the night. Yeah. Well, these are something
you can look for if that's something that you're into,
because they're hitting stores nationwide this month. I do love
cinnamon toast crunch with anything though. That's the best cereal. Yes,
(26:57):
I don't need it that often because it's way too
much sugar in it. That's the best cereal. Still, I'm
on my Special K with berries. Oh no, that's not
the best cereal. It's okay. Considering what I get from it,
it's pretty good, you know. I'm trying to stay healthy
but have a little flavor. I do Special K with berries.
The berries are ended already, the freeze dried, but they're
good with almond milk, and they have a bowl every
(27:19):
morning and then I try to not eat too much milk.
I fill the bowl up with milk, but I try
to eat too much milk so there's enough milk to
pour a little more back in there again. Oh but
if there's not, I don't. It's kind of my rule
on how much cereal my cereal intake? All right, what else?
So Kelly Clarkson covered Joe Diffy's Brought Me Up Beside
the Jukebox. I bet her audience was like, what is this.
(27:45):
I've never heard that song before. It because unless you
know nineties country, you probably don't know problem Me Up
Beside the Jukebox. My favorite Joe Diffy's song, By the way,
this is up with sand over over her. You can't
hear her. Yeah, it's good. She's always good. She's the best, best,
best singer, good talk show host. She just got it all.
I'm jealous. I start resenting her right now. Yeah, that's good.
(28:08):
We added to Women of Her Country. You're playing Atlantis
more sets with Willie Nelson on the road again. It's yeah,
it's Atlantis with Willie. And we've reached out to try
to get Atlantis on the show. We've had a little
success of possibly landing that up. Okay, but whenever I
was going to kind of going to the list of songs,
I was like, huh, I wonder if he will get
mad about at Atlantis, and I was like, you know,
I don't care Amy and get the hate she hosted, Yeah,
(28:29):
what about adding Kelly Clarkson brought me up beside the juwpot,
not a studio version. Okay, okay. Every every show episode
she comes out and covers a song. When I did
the Kelly Clarkson show, she came out and did Prince
when Doves Cry. Oh that's cool. And so you're I
did the show on zoom, but I'm sitting here on
Zoom watching her sing when Doves Cry, and they're like,
(28:50):
all right, cut, She's like all right. Next secondment, she
walked over to her chair and then starts interviewing people.
It's pretty cool. All right, all right, I maybe that's
my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time
for the good news. So this kid, Will Wooton, who
is a boy Scout, was on his way to become
(29:10):
an Eagle Scout, so he had to have a project
to focus on so that he could, you know, move up. Well,
the local fire department where he lived was struggling, so
he decided to help him out. They needed new turnout suits,
which is protective suits that firefighters wear in the field.
So he started fundraising with a car wash and then
he sold Crispy Kreem doughnuts. Word got out. His goal
was really totally raised twenty five dollars. He raised twenty
(29:33):
two thousand, enough for the department to buy new turnout
suits for every firefighter on staff. So the fire chief,
James Bowen, says, they were so grateful and the funds
have allowed them to keep doing what they loved to do.
It's pretty good. Yeah, what's kid's name? Will wooton? Whoooooooooooo,
(29:54):
that's what it's all about. A nice shop that was
tell me something good. We're just a few minutes away
from Brett Eldredge performing live in the studio, so that
will be fantastic. Now, today's Morning Corny is a bit special. Why. Yeah,
Well because I got a text from Trevor Rosen, who's
an old Dominion and he just said, Hey, randomly thought
of a good dad joke in case you want to
(30:15):
have him for the Morning Corny. Okay, so this is
a celebrity corny. Yeah, okay, So I replied to him, yes, definitely.
So he sent it over to me as a question
and then I had to kind of like guess and
then he sent me the answer, so just like we
do here sometime to involve for me is where the
text message goes. But and then he has his own
gift of himself laughing and then he sent that, so
(30:35):
I was like, wow, you're a little comedian over here. Okay,
here it is. This is all submitted by by Trevor
from Old Dominion. Right, yeah, okay, here we go. Why
did the thief stop stealing windows? Why did the thief
stop stealing windows? Because it was a pains taking process.
(31:01):
Get it, window panes panes. Yeah, here's a gift of
me laughing. Not pretty good, that's pretty good. That was
the Morning Corning on Monday show. Eddie will be in
route walking from West Virginia to Tennessee, basically one hundred
(31:22):
mile track over four days, averaging over twenty miles a day. Yes,
you feel like you're in shape of this. Yes, I've
been training for over two weeks now, not a lot
of time, but yes, I'm as ready as I can be.
Mila in Oklahoma is on the phone to talk about
this for a second. Hey, Mila, how are you Hi?
How are you bunny? I'm doing pretty good. What would
you like to say. I would like to tell Eddie
(31:44):
I am so encouraged for him to do this walk,
and I wanted to give him a few tips. Every
year I do. This is Bendie Cohen three day walks
for a cure. We walked twenty miles a day. We
don't have hotels every night, we sleep contents deployed and
I in Afghanistan and she's in the military day. So
(32:10):
the ide about if he'll put moleskin on his heels,
that really helps the blisters. You can get it at CBS,
waverings anywhere, and changing shoes is like that other doctor
had said, is the great thing. So but I just
wanted to encourage him. And you know, if I did
it in the hundred and thirty, yeah, continue. So I
(32:36):
just I just wanted to give him a quick shout out.
And I'm so happy for him, and I am encourage
about how much you all right, all right, thank you
very much, thank you for your call. That's right. Let's
not let it be lost that we raise sixty thousand
dollars absolutely for National Angels, an organization that helps the
foster children Sean and Arizona is on real quick. Hey, Sean,
what's going on? Hey, So I heard you guys this
morning talking about eating chocolate covered pictatos today. Yes, and uh,
(33:00):
it just reminded me. Back in fifth grade we did
a whole unit on and some mathgi just just eating
bugs for nutrition. And at the end of the unit,
our teacher brought in from talking to covered crickets for
all of us to try. And I remember at first
I was really grossed out at the thought of eating
a bug, and I ended up eating it and thinking
that it tastes like a Nextlee crunch bar. So I
(33:22):
think you have a light it love, But I'm very
excited about this. The only difference for me is this
bug is much bigger. Yeah, I'm much meteor. I don't
want a crunch. You don't want to crunch. It's got
a crunch. It's gonna be like you ever have a
Stark crunch in the battle boxes. Just to give it
a star crunch, we'll Debbie Stark crunch. Hey, I appreciate
that call, Sean. Hope you have a great day for sure,
(33:44):
you guys, do I see a bud. The Friday morning
conversation with Brett, How are you, budd? I'm good? How
are you doing I'm doing good? A question for you
you being a Cubs fan and just a baseball fan
in general. The debate we have on this show is
is it okay to where a jersey? First of all,
as an adult man. I did wear an Arkansas Razorbacks
(34:06):
baseball jersey to watch Arkansas play, and Caitlin was like,
are you gonna really wear a jersey? And I was like, yeah,
because we're going to a game. That's what you do
in a game, right, But first of all, can you
wear a jersey to a game as an adult man? Absolutely? Okay?
Now can you wear a jersey as an adult man
just hanging out like going to like, I don't do that.
(34:28):
You don't do that. I mean, you can do whatever
you want. I don't do that. If you saw in
And also I told her too, and you guys can
jump in on this. I said, it also matters what
sport the jersey is, Like, you're not gonna see me
wearing a basketball jersey somewhere because there's just too much arms, there,
too much action you can see in this ship. You're
not gonna see me wearing a football jersey because it's
just too big. But a baseball jersey is almost like
(34:49):
a shack it. It's almost like a ship. I mean,
especially if it's styled like if it's like super jersey,
like I don't know, Like there's I think there's vintage
ones that I really like. I would wear certain ones,
but I don't always do that. But I don't. I
don't judge anybody for doing that. Here's my next question
in fashion, Okay, high fashion, here we go. So, being
now that I'm forty years old, I still have hoodies
(35:11):
that I bought before I turned for Is it okay
to wear a hoodie at even your age? You thirty five? Now? Yea?
Is it okay to wear a hoodie at thirty five
in your opinion? Absolutely okay. I wear lots of those.
What about me though, five six years? Absolutely okay? As
you're wearing one now, yes, you can say no, I listen,
you can say whatever he wants to say, hoodie all day.
(35:32):
I don't buy new hoodies, but I grandfather them in
I still wear them if I bought them. That's a
good call. So I don't go to the store and
be like, got to get me a new hoodie. But
I do own a bunch and I still wear them.
So it was because if you did buy a new one,
you'd wear the same old ones. You kids they're more
comfortable or whatever, or they're just they have a thing. No.
I just feel like I don't need to be buying
(35:53):
new hoodies. Okay, I can still wear the ones I had.
I don't need to be buying billionaire anyone would do,
I get it. That's how you visible. I'm good, really good.
Every time I see you on social media, you're like
deep in the woods and I just see your boot.
I wonder on those hikes that you take, because it's
it's always a stream or a tree or any eagle
(36:13):
flying over. Do you ever get inspired to write music
though as you're doing these these walks. I mean I
I hike almost every day. It just kind of gets
me out of my head and kind of and real stuff,
I guess, and it and opens it opens my mind
up a little bit, and uh so I'll get melodies
or something I'll recorded on my phone or and get
(36:35):
ideas and just kind of contemplating. Just walk around, look
at look at bird, look at eagles up in the sky.
Can you name a song that you have written that
was inspired by you walking in the woods. I would
say a lot of my new ones are, but I
wouldn't say, like, there's one that's like I went hiking today,
that's a hit. If I heard hiking today, there'd be
(36:57):
a very specific market. All the hikers out there. Love
birds chirping in the background of the song insert real birds. Yeah,
the ones as you were hiking. I kind of like that.
That's the challenge we're giving you for the next three years. Okay,
you have to somehow put the word. You have to
put some sort of hiking reference. Have you ever put
a hiking reference on a song? No, but I should.
I mean I think it's very specific. Yeah, but I
(37:20):
mean people love yes, and it can be subtle. It's like, oh, baby,
looking your eyes reminds me of when I was hiking,
and put it on you hiking boom there. Yeah, that's
all we got right now. That's all we need though. Hey,
that's how you get to the hits. That's all we do.
You're talking. You just mentioned something about new music, So
(37:42):
are you recording music right now? Yes? What's that plan?
Hopefully you get get some stuff, you know, you know,
the process can take forever sometimes, But I've written probably
aided the songs for my new album already. And now
I'm starting to record him. So it's been vocaling him
and recording him, and so I'm I'm deep in it
And how locked up do these songs live? Because you know,
(38:05):
like Taylor Swift will only play them out? Did you
ever do show up at the box and flip it
open and be like you can only listen? Oh I
hear it like this? No, you know, I'm a believer that.
In fact, if we get time, I'll play I'll play
something no one's ever heard today. But like I I
like to just get it out there because I like
to see how people react to things. And there's there's
avenues you get music out there. Now, it's like I
want to. I want to. I'm always writing songs, so
(38:26):
I want to. I want to hear what people think
and how they feel from it. What if you played
a new song and we reacted in a negative way
like we were, and we're like all wrong. We don't
hide it well sometimes I mean there's subtle clues like
you could if we're like, don't give away all the
nervous right now that if I something it's tough. There
(38:50):
are things because at times I will not hear an
artist until they play on that stage that you're on,
and once they play, you realize, oh, they do not
sound at the same level as the recording sound. And
then it's awkward because I don't even want to look
at home until it's over. Yeah, we're like, I won't
I won't let you down. That's stuff. Well, why don't
(39:11):
you give us all something new? Do you have? The
song's memorized already lyric right here? Okay, what's the one called? This?
Was called I want that back? I want that back?
And did you write this? I did? And what was
the inspiration of this new song? This inspiration actually came
at four am in the middle of night. It was
kind of in the heat of pandemic times and kind
of looking through all the things I don't need my
(39:33):
life and could go without, and the things that you
want to hold, you know, pull closer, and you know,
as as the simple things that that mean a lot,
that that I want to hold onto, and the things
you want to throw out. And so it's called I
want that back? And what room of a house or
a bedroom did you write this in? I just want
to get the full picture. Are you. Did you wake
up and write it or were you are waking up?
This thing where four am? It's where almost And I would,
(39:56):
I would. I've got this little like old school recorder
because I don't put my phone by my bed because
then I'll look at it and I'll wake me up
and then I'll think about it or something. So I've
got this little quarter and what I do is i'll, i'll, i'll.
If I have something to pop up, I'll just record
it right there. And I had the whole lyrics of
this chorus just kind of show up in the middle
of night. I don't know, it doesn't always have like that,
(40:17):
but it just did. And and I had one buddy
that I knew was a perfect person to help me
finish this because I already wrote the chorus. Helped me
kind of shape the verses a little bit and everything.
And and I called him up. His name Scooter Crusoe,
and uh, we wrote mean to Me and want to
be that song. He's kind of been one of my
guys that I've always written with, and I think we
got a really special one, but nobody's ever heard it,
(40:39):
so here it is. We will be the judge of
that bread let's see how special it is. Okay, so
this is call I'm trying to get the strike because
I've never it's called I want that back. I want
that back written at four am for the most part, Yeah,
what were you wearing in bed? Bob Miley T shirt?
And uh, you sleep in a T shirt? Yes? I
think weirdo? What we jump on him for? I don't
(41:00):
sleep in a shirt sometimes when I'm not getting both.
But that night it was probably about Molly T Shirt's
accept it right here we get about Molly T Shirt
singing this song. All right, here's I want that back her.
You can have the small talk. You can have the hay,
you can have the check your phone each time you
get a little break, and you can have the lonely.
(41:25):
You can have the bank, you can have the TV
full of stations to tell you how the thing. But
the smell of old wood bleachers and the word at
hometime preachers being rich with her and a cheap six
pay Yeah, the shine of a new summer, barefoot baseball
(41:49):
with my brother, first time freedom with the windows cray.
I want that bag. That's really good, man, that's really good.
Give it a good dang dude, that's a good one.
(42:09):
Anybody else get emotional? Yeah, goose bumps? Uh yeah, me too.
I felt that yeah in my forearms usually some of
my thighs too. Different as I start to think about
where they hit me, it kind of have my forearms.
I mean, okay, okay, yeah, I mean God gifted you
the voice of an angel. Thank you? You ever just
look up and go, yo, dude, appreciate that I did.
(42:30):
Sometimes that's weird. I don't understand how I got it,
but I got it, and I'm glad to have it,
and I feel very fortunate. So I'm trying to belt
it out right here. Why did I not get it?
You know? You got other things, man, I think that
about a lot of people that come in here. It's
easy to get envious of that. It's a brand new
song from Brett Eldredge. When will people just your best
(42:52):
guests here? When do you think people will be able
to hear the version of that from a studio a month?
Two months? I would hope in the next few months. Really,
And it's a good one. That is a good one, Okay.
The Friday Morning conversation with Brett Eldritch going out on
the Good Day the American tour dates. That means there
are European dates too, so you're gonna go be basically
(43:14):
most of may You know what when you go somewhere
like the UK, like, how are you received? There? Is it?
Here's an American who sings country music, let's go explore him?
Or they like, oh my gosh, Brett Elder just coming.
It is such a for me. It's like the excitement
of like when you get your first hit or a
song it's even starting to get played, and people get
so excited because you know, they get to discover it
(43:36):
first or something. When you go you know, thousands of
miles you know, away from home and play music, I
just feel like there's so much appreciation. So I continue
to want to go back, you know, every year that
I can, And so it is really it's really cool.
Is it weird to go places and they sing your
songs back when they don't even speak your language? Because
I think that will be yes, absolutely like old but great.
(44:00):
I played in Berlin and I remember playing up there
and I remember like being in meet and greets and stuff,
and a lot of people didn't speak English. But then
I'd look out in the crowd I'd be like, all
these people are speaking English perfectly fine right now and
they're singing it, so it's it's pretty cool. I think
it's it's a special thing to be able to have that.
If your record label came to you today and they said, hey, Brett,
(44:20):
we heard you play the new song that you just
played on the bibone show. We really feel great about
this album. We've heard some tracks, but we really need
you to post a shirtless pick to promote the record
and the tour. They came to and pulled you aside,
so we need you to go shirtless. What what is
this question I'm asking if you If they came, it'll
be uncomfortable, but they were like, hey, we really need
to go full sex appilled. Would you would you post
(44:42):
a shirtless picture like on the front of your record?
Would you do that? Would you be sless? Hell? No, No,
I could ever live with that. Why? I don't know.
I just you know, I'm always working out, trying to
trying to get better. But it's I want, I don't want.
I don't want to see that. No one else wants
to see that. What is the Brett Eldridge workout routine?
I left about four days a week, and and I like, uh,
(45:06):
like I'm trying to I'm trying to put on some weight.
So I'm just lifting weights and and uh cycling for cardio. Yeah,
but trying to put all weight. You have trouble putting
all weight? Well, I last year during the quarantine, I
ran the whole time and I didn't go to gyms,
and so I just lost a ton of weight running
like crazy, which was good for my mind. But then
(45:26):
I was like, God, I'm kind of skinny. So I've
been trying to eat a lot more. And I mean
I'm always eating healthy, but eat more and and have
a lift weights and and uh, and make sure I
get a lot of cardio in for my heart. Must
just want to feel good. So where about going back
on stage and not having your air like if you're
singing all these songs. Yeah, it's a big part. I
mean you could be. I've been swimming a lot and uh.
(45:49):
And I also do these I do the cold showers
in the morning, and I do that did anybody else
anybody else? Gas? Do you do? Like that? As cold
as it go? Yeah, as cold as I can possibly
get it, sometimes at least three minutes. So you do
the three minutes. So I did this morning three minutes.
If there was like a mystery murder in talent, I
(46:09):
would go, well, let's go look at Brett and Amy
because their psychopaths. In other ways, that's whimf. Have you
heard of that guy? No, So here's this this Dutch
guy that um teaches like this breathing and then this
technique to where you can go in and withstand crazy
cold temperatures by doing this technique. You gotta watch it.
Just look it up. It's really I don't think it
will whatsoever, you know, you know, I mean, I'm always
(46:34):
very open about like anxieties and stuff like the cold
shower really helps pop me out of like a weird state.
Or have you done cryotherapy? That box you get into
this freezing Okay, no money that he said therapy Like
I started going like maybe six or seven months ago,
and it was my three minutes of some people going
there they want to listen to music and dance out,
and I go in and I'm like, no music, Just
(46:55):
put me in the box and I come out like
a better in a better mental state like I did
mine for injuries. I'd never felt like I'm gonna be
a better person. Oh well, I mean I would. I
went and I was coming out like mentally better. So
in a way, that is a different injury, you know
what I mean. It's not like a muscle recovery, but
it's like an emotional maybe anxiety or I'm with you
(47:16):
type regy. Okay, well listen next, we're gonna do some
breathing everyone when you go. Have you started working on
your set list at all? For when I literally yesterday
my my bandleader called me, it's like, all right, let's
get the set list going, which makes me so nervous
to do that because I was just you don't have
to pick through a lot of songs. And what's the
first song back? Like the first opening song. It's the
(47:38):
first it's you, You're walking on stage, first time in
the year. I mean, I think it's gonna be I mean,
it's a good day. Tis it's gonna be a good day.
I don't know why I would infuse so you start
with that, I think, so this is set like a
positive mood. What's what do you close with? I don't know.
We need to figure this out now we gottain. I mean, okay,
(47:59):
let me think what I would if I were going
to your show, you just I don't think you're gonna
like my answer. That's it because when you look back,
I'm sure you're tired of playing. That's not tired, but
I'm sure if you got to pick you play, the
new stuff gets more exciting as an artist, right because
you were living a different life. Whenever you put Don't
You out? Yeah? Absolutely, But however, I think you close
on don't You that's thought about song to close on
(48:20):
just because it's big, it's upbeat. Yeah, Actube used to
be of the music. That was a good one to
close with. Um, but maybe that's not bad thought my
running run when I wrote the Flagpole for me? Do
you ever not play a hit? Oh? I did that
one time. It didn't go well? No, why did you
(48:46):
not play? I think one time we just screwed up
or something and we forgot to add like and I
played mean to me every time, but it was like
mean to me or something, you know, and and it's
one of my favorite times of play. And somehow it
slipped to our you know, just writing the set list
because I like to I'd like to switch it up,
and uh, I think I forgot it that night and
we're like, man, something didn't feel right, Like there's a
moment in the show that we didn't have and it
(49:07):
was that and so many people were like, that was
our wedding song. Oh man, can you imagine you go
to here one song? Don't play it? So have you
come to the Good Day Tour? I will remember every song,
I promise, And if we're not, h I'm sorry, Well
you play the Long Way? Yeah, because that is not
not here. I mean, if you play now that's but
I'm saying, will you play that on tour because that's
my favorite song? Yes you willhood you're committed. I like
(49:28):
to I like to break that one down. Sometimes it's
played acoustic. Well, lucky for us, that's what he's doing here. Yeah,
well you play us some of the long Way? Yeah, okay,
all right, okay, let's bring it right into it. Just
to take a trip around around your town. Right here
we go. Don't think I've ever seen you kind pretty
wandering around this midnight mad house. You gotta look. It
(49:52):
says you got it all good. So if you don't
mind that lot, know, you better see me the long
way around you will? You? The Queen with the super
Crown I want the secret shou Ki, the shine underneat

a missing child who has found unresponsive and floating in
a pond. Think about those three things. One missing child,
two unresponsive, and also in a pond. The four year
old boy have been reported missing from a family member's house.

Thompson and Sergeant Matthew tie Cast could not see the
kid at first due to debris, but eventually spot at
some air bubbles and the boy silhouette about twenty feet

water to rescue the kid, the officer Chad Balowski retrieved
a throw rope. They said. The boy was brought to

breathing back from him. The Painesville City Fire Department arrived
at the scene to help treat the child before he

treated and slowly was more and more. Now he's in
fully stable condition. Oh my gosh, while they saw him
in time too, like did everything right, Like emergency situation.

Chad Balowski. You saved the kid's life. You saved the family.

gotta eat bugs and stuff like that. Like it does
look like chocolate, but I can see the cicada easily
(57:52):
underneath it, So I'm not thinking chocolate. I'm thinking bug.
Let us hear as you crunch it. Here we go,
two one in his mouth. God right, it was really crunchy. Yeah,
(58:12):
small part of it tastes like a kid cat real.
I mean I can feel the tentacles and stuff. You
can feel the wings. The wings are tough to you. God,
howd it taste decent? It wasn't god awful? If I
needed to in like a pinch, I would eat that.
A little bit of chocolate and a pinch. What if
(58:35):
we washed the chocolate off? Now spin it again, chocolate
covered cicada. And now we know And like they say,
knowing is and no one is half the battle. Okay,
there it is, okay, coming in our big boss. He
(58:55):
comes on the show about once a year. Bradley Gilbert
put out a new song today as a world premiere
called what's it called the worst country song of all time? Right,
worst country song of all time? And it's a song
basically about all the things you can't say in a
country song. Oh, here's a clip. Eddie and I have
(59:22):
put out a song called you Can't Say That in
a Country Song, which is basically the same song. Yeah,
because you just described this song as basically a song
that says things you can't say in a country song.
So the title of our song. We put it out
with John Party like two months ago, maybe the less,
and now all of a sudden, this is out fishy.
The thing is ray and lunchboxes in my ear. They
keep saying the same thing to me, Sue, Sue, I
(59:43):
didn't even think about it. Well, but we're gonna bring
our boss in and we're gonna see what he has
to say. I don't want to do anything that is dramatic,
but I'll not, but I'd like to get our song
played a little bit too. You know. I didn't even
think anything about this when it happened. Then listeners were
just going, do you hear this? Do you hear this?
And I was like, nah, stop it. Today, Brantley Gilbert
(01:00:04):
puts out a good song called the Worst Country Song
of all Time? You heard it? Yeah, And the whole
song is doing what it's sort of like, saying things that, yeah,
you normally would never hear in a country song. For example,
here's a clip of Brantley's new song. So it's all
(01:00:29):
stuff you don't hear in a country song, right, And
they say that worst country song of all time? But
Eddie and I did a song called a country song
with John Party, and so our boss Rod is in here. Now, okay,
have you heard these songs? So when I heard Brantley's song,
I of course had heard your song, and I did.
It did not occur to me a little bit, maybe,
(01:00:50):
like somewhere in the back of my mind, but I
wasn't like, wait a minute, wait a minute, this is
the same thing. And then I played him back to back.
I'm like, same concept, right, And is it weird? You
just put it out. I've been playing it live for
two years, doing comedy shows with it, and then we
just put it out and then it comes out. Well,
I don't know define weird well, Brayan Lunchbox, Sue Sue
Sue Sue, Sue, Sue Lunchbox, I don't want I think
(01:01:15):
it's well, I think it's a coincidence. But me too,
For the record, I think it's coincidence. But here's my
You two are not chanting sue now yet, right, got it?
Here's my beef is that you give them a world
premiere seven times on every radio station. The song is
playing throughout the day seven times nationally. Is that true?
It's about that? Yeah? Okay, how come we didn't get
(01:01:37):
a world pmiere with the same song? Explain yourself sue
Sue Sue sue R. I expected the self promoter that
you are, that you would just do that on your own.
But I can't play on at three pm. Yeah, or
can't or we should, right, So I'm willing to drop
my suit. Guys, whoa yeah, a law suit. So I'm
(01:01:58):
willing to drop my potential lawsuit if you can do
maybe even next week A world from here. Okay, but
we've already We'll just call it that because no one's
hurt anyway. Rights us, the raging idiots with John Party
can't say that in a country song. If you give
us the same love, I will drop it. What should
we get John Party to do to finalize this? First
(01:02:18):
of all, his boy he lost his voice. You can't
talk that. I saw that on social So nothing. He's out,
he's out ed, he's in. Oh, I'm in. Yeah? Are
you suing? We need to know who's suing and who's
Not's the thing. We're all on the same boat, so
one suing, we're all soon. Yeah. We all want to
get rich. We got lawyers, I got Yeah, we have
Morgan and Morgan in our back pocket. We can call
(01:02:39):
it anytime. Yeah. So if I'm willing to not be
irritated by this. I thought about challenging Briley to a
celebrity boxing match, like brass knuckles. You can't Brack's knuckle
a celebrity boxing can. He's not small though, I mean
he's Yeah. I probably lose, but still, can you, Rod Phillips,
(01:02:59):
head of Eye Radio Country Division, all the stations, can
you guarantee us next week a world premiere? Seven plays nationally?
Every seven plays. That's what you gave. Now, now we're
now why did you get Well, here's the point too,
here's the point to nationally. There are cities where this
show does not run. Doesn't matter, not many, but but
(01:03:19):
we need on those stations. Well those stations though those
listeners probably are not as familiar with Bobby Bones in
the region. Sometimes we debut a new song on the verge. Heck,
make us on the verge. Then that's right, Amy, great
point too. They know John Party, that's true, great point.
Yell over him one versus seven. Yeah, Yeah, you're doing
a lot of stammering. And there's some litigation coming quickly.
(01:03:41):
We love litigation. Yes, okay, so let's let's negotiate this out.
Go ahead, Maybe not maybe not here, maybe not now. No,
I think we need a plan for the cities that
don't run the Bobby Bones show. That isn't that is
a it's Bobby Bones. But the cities that don't run
us at night many run at night. Yeah, we want
seven plays nationally or we're taking this to the next level. Sue, Sue, Sue.
(01:04:06):
I feel like we can work something out that's going
to be come to us with a plan momicable for all.
We'll call you Monday or Tuesday, and you let us
know what you come out, Okay, yep, Monday Tuesday, and
then we do it next week. Sure, but you will
admit it's a little fishy. Well, it's interesting. I never
heard a song like this in my life. Well A
suddenly we write one and who you all wrote it
or John wrote it? No, I wrote it with Jim Beavers.
(01:04:27):
Whose idea was it? Jim and I we sign a
room and wrote it, and then Jim wrote with Branley.
But you know what, maybe Jim wants to Sue. I heard.
I heard that that Hardy was at the same restaurant
that Jim and Bobby were that night that they decided
to write it. But I heard right, and then I
wonder if John hung out with Brantley and gave him
(01:04:49):
the idea played it on the show. Okay, let us
know Monday or Tuesday. How do you feel about Eddie's
heading off to after the show? Today's driving to West Virginia,
walking too Tennessee. I can't wait, Gator Harrison, who who
program a bunch of our radio stations? Why we're thinking
about coming over for full support? Oh? Like signs and
you know where to Tennessee? Where? Well, somewhere somewhere in between.
(01:05:09):
You're somewhere in between West Virginia and Tennessee. Okay, depends
where you're at. Do you like that bit? Right? I
love the bit, but it starts on Father's Day. Otherwise
i'd start. But Other's day is kind of a thing. Sorry,
you're sorry, you're leaving your kids. Eddie sor right, he's
been here. We're gonna do something. We're gonna get something
out of this. You're guaranteeing that. I'm guaranteeing you get
something out of it. I feel like you'll like it, Okay,
(01:05:30):
I feel like here from a better hope we like
it or else it's Sue Sue, Sue, Sue was gonna
do some research over the weekend and find out what
exactly we can win monetary damages. Oh, I know he'll know. Okay,
we've been suffering. We're good. Ray heady to the chocolover
cicada a few minutes ago. Would you like a chocolate
cover cicada? I'm gonna pass. Okay, I'm going to pass
(01:05:50):
right there. He is our boss, Rod Phillips, who also
admits that it's a little fishy that song exists. Yeah,
it's it's in. I didn't say it was fishy, said
it's interesting. It is interesting. Okay, we'll end on this.
We will play can't say that in a country song
from Bobby Ows and Raging Idiots. It's only two minutes long.
So is this one of the two PM or we're
not on the air. We want to see it fly
(01:06:12):
up the chart. Got it? And if we don't, we
know we do su to be a great week. Here
you go, Sorry to day. This story comes us from
New York City. A twenty seven year old man was
in a restaurant and he said, hey, excuse me, can
I use your restroom? And the seventy seven year old
(01:06:33):
cook said, sorry, sir, there are no public restrooms. The
twenty seven year old got mad, grabbed the cook by
the shirt and threw them out the front window. Wow, dang,
healthy response, hoping they were on the ground level the restaurant. Yeah,
ground level, not on one of those New York skyscrapers.
They just throw them out. Also, I mean you got
to grab him by the back of the collar, like
(01:06:55):
that's that's a tough thing to do, throw someone out
a window. Yeah, it's like a movie. So what happened
to the guy? He got some scrapes and bruises, had
to be taken to the hospital, and the twenty seven
year old ran, but employees ran after him and tackled
him and held down to police came. Should have thrown
him out of window too, walked and just found a window.
Oh yeah, buddy, you want to see what this is like?
All right, I'm lunchboxed. That's your bone head story of
(01:07:15):
the day. Thank you guys for listening. Hope you have
a wonderful weekend. Amy on your agenda. Oh this weekend
I've got I'll be celebrating you and Caitlin. We're having
a wedding shower, couple's wedding shower. So that's pretty much
like my big activity. What about you. Well, that and
Caitlin's parents are in town for that, so we'll be
(01:07:35):
doing a lot of entertaining there with them. Cool. I'm excited.
I have never met them. Yeah, oh you haven't. No,
not her parents, so they're actually a lot cooler than
you would expect because of Caitlin. But I just have
always heard stories about in law is not being cool,
Like that's been every story and every TV show. It's
like law sometimes you get lucky, and I think you
got lucky. I keep waiting, like the TV system. I
(01:07:56):
supposed to like them, but yeah, I know that. I
actually been looking forward to them coming to town. So yeah,
that'd be a big part of the weekend. Be sure
to watch Sunday Night if you can. If you can,
if you watch Breaking Bobby Bones on nat Geo at
ten ninth Central, would love it, be so appreciative, and
if you miss it, you can watch it on the
nat Geo app where you can get it on Amazon.

Get you an episode there. I'll be driving the eighteen
wheeler through Chattanooga. I had to get my CDL for

someone will eat a chocolate covered cicada. I just wonder
about the crunch one. Well, there will be. It's a bug, yeah,
(00:31):
and you have to eat the whole thing. You can't
take a bite. Morgan's pulled herself out of the competition
here because she doesn't eat meat, and we've determined this
as meat, right, yes, she has. And the females No,
the females are meteor is what I read online. But
I don't know if these things have weeeze or not.

or in July second, Disney Plus. Okay, okay, thank you
(01:37):
for calling, Thank you, bye bye. This Sunday night, I
will be driving the big rig through Chattanooga eighteen wheelers
loaded with eggs. My goal was to get it all
the way across the city without cracking an egg. Oh man,
or without cracking like one percent of the egg. I'm
not just one egg. Yeah, because I don't think we
went through I think we just grabbed random boxes and
see if they cracked. But it had to learn I
(01:58):
guess where I got my cdl's miserable to get that license.
And then the other one is I'm working a towboat
and I have to like stop this four million pound
thing with a rope. So check it out on nat GEO.

(02:20):

mainly to see who's going to have to eat the
cicadas's that's later in the show. Yeah. Also, this is
the last show Eddies in studio before heads off for
his walk. That's right, And I'm feeling good like you
should like, I should like. I should hope you guys
watch Breaking Bobby Bones on Sunday night, Nat Geo. I'm
an eighteen wheeler driver, big rig rolling on the Real Highway,
(02:44):
driving an eighteen wheeler, and I was clueless and I
thought I might kill somebody, honestly, like, I was scared,
not for my safety, for everybody else's. Yeah, I've seen
the promo and I'm nervous for you. I haven't seen
the promo. I haven't seen anything about it, so it's
pretty nerve wrecking. Yeah, Nat Geo, I hope you guys
watch Breaking Bobby Bones a Sunday night. Please do. Let's
open up the mail bag something. Hello Bobby Bones. My
(03:11):
husband and I are newly married and I noticed something
that he does that kind of grosses me out. When
he takes a shower, he doesn't use a fresh washcloth
every time. He'll either reuse the one I just used
or use the one that he's been using in the
shower the last couple of times. He says, it doesn't
matter because it's clean. Since you just rinsed it in
clean water after you shower, it's still a clean washcloth.
(03:33):
Does anyone on the show reuse washcloths? Is it not
as gross as I think it is to do that.
Is there anything on that your spouse does that grosses
you out? I love the show and listen to the
podcast every day. Thanks in advance for your advice, Sincerely,
a grossed out wife. First of all this situation, I
don't reuse washcloths. However, I don't use a lot of washcloths.
(03:54):
I got a little soap dispenser that puts soap in
with my hands, and I have a little scrub that can.
It makes me use because I was getting like piples
on the top of my back and my chest because
I would sweat and it would just stay in like
a little hair ab there. And so now there's a
little scrub that she makes me do. So I don't
really use washcloths, though I don't. I think it's pretty
gross to use it again and again. I know, but
(04:14):
I mean, if you think about it, that's what you're
doing with a lufa. But that's why they say lufa's
are bad. So I get that. But so I just
something about a lufa seems more acceptable to use over
and over, but a washcloth absolutely not. I was cringing
while you were reading that. Well I wasn't cringing, but
I'm against it. I'm against doubling up the washcloths. Yeah,
because there's skin and dead skin. You know. Maybe a
(04:35):
lufa seems okay because it looks like it's that's what
it's supposed to do. But I'll washcloth, you know, back
to you. I don't even know if that's a thing
we're gonna go with. It is gross to use a
washcloth more than once. Yeah, you're okay to be grossed
out by it. It also stinks to have to do
that much laundry, though could be fair if you're taking
a shower and it's a dirty one every night. It's
a little teeny tiny, six by six square. What about
(04:57):
a towel. Can you reuse a towel? Yeah, a few times. Sure,
I'm good for two towel times. Yeah. Get your clean skin, yeah,
I mean that's that's up to you. But I not
a washcloth that's been scrubbing all over your body. I agree,
So we're settled on it is gross. Now. Is there
anything that your spouse does the grosses you out? Yeah?
I mean he picks at his feet. He has some
(05:18):
like weird fungus things that he picked up in the
Middle East, like when he was in the military. Still
has it pretty sure. He's like one time he left
for Afghanistan, came back, you know, there's community showers all
the military people like I don't even know what's going
on over there. And he comes back and he's got
this weird thing going on with his toes and his
feet still has it and picks at it. Then that's
(05:39):
unfortunate for him. No, I feel bad because I'm like, wow,
you were serving our country. Yeah, That's why I didn't
jump on your team on this one. I was just like,
I feel bad for him. Yeah, but no, you don't.
Doesn't mean you have to pick at it. Oh what
about you? Calin's pretty a plus on on the gross stuff.
I will say that in a pinch. And she's only
told me this because I'm a carter. She's just used
my toothbrush, oh to me, And she acts like that's
(06:02):
not a big deal. No, that's a big but to me,
I'm like, oh, that's not for me. I don't like that. Yeah,
And sometimes she puts it on my face, like, hmm,
I just use your face brush because you know your
wife do anything gross. Yeah, the toothbrush, that's what that's
what he does it too. She does the toothbrush. She's
wrong with y'all's women. I have no idea, And I'm
always like, use your own toothbrush, please, that's disgusting. Yeah.
(06:23):
But guys, I was gonna tell you my washcloth that
I bathed myself with this morning. I mean that's been
in there for two weeks. Oh, you're good on that.
You take that guy's side. I do, because you do
wash it with soap and you dry it out like
you would do the laundry every day. I don't feel
like that's the same. I can see it in your face.
I don't think that's the same. But you, I'm glad
you have that opinion. All right, thank you for that email,
close it up. We've got your That was about the
(06:49):
cloth bag Morgan. If they want to email us, what
do they do? Mailbag at Bobby Bones dot com on
The Bobby Bones Show. Now, Bradley, all right, we're all
premiere day. Brandley's on The Worst Country Song of All
Time is on about to play it in a second
with Toby Keith and also Hardy. How hard is it
Brandley to get Toby Keith to do a song these days?
(07:09):
Not easy, brother, I promise you that it was kind
of a Honestly, it was a long shot. We wrote
that last first, kind of catered to him, hoping that
that would help. And you know, Toby's a pretty serious dude.
You know, he takes what he stands for serious and
and I respect those things about him, but he's also
one of those that don't mind having a good time.
So he h you know, I called him and we
(07:32):
talked it out and he jumped on it. And I
can't tell you how stoked we are to have him
on it. It's kind of the stamp of approval. You
ever hung out with Toby not professionally, yeah, a little bit,
you know when you're on the road, there's still a
little bit of business involved always, but rable to spend
a little bit of time with him, and you know,
spend some time with him on the phone and when
(07:54):
we were not on stage and on the road, and
he was super cool to me, and he was super
cool to my guys on the road. You know, we're
a family out there, So that meant the world to
me and and I think the world to him. So
being able to do a song with him is an honor. Man,
I'm stoked. Tell me about the worst country song of
(08:14):
all time? Like you're in a room, you gotta start
writing it. Like, what was the idea in the room?
You and Hardy wrote this song? Yeah, me and Hardy
and Hunter Phelps and h and will Weatherly and you know,
Hardy said, hey, guys, I've got this idea in my phone.
I don't know if there's anything to it. It's called
the worst country song all time. And we all had
a good laugh and kind of shrugged it off and
(08:37):
joked about it a little bit, and the next thing
you know, we're actually writing it. So then it just
kind of took off from there. Man. Honestly, it's you know,
obviously tongue in cheek and meant to be funny and
meant to be fun And you know, that's not a
side of my coin that people get to see very
(08:58):
often from us. You know, it's usually arms crossed, looking
at the camera like we're gonna beat it up and
that kind of thing. So, especially when the climate our
society is so overly serious right now, I think it'll
be good for everybody to kind of laugh a little bit,
smile a little bit and have a good time with listening.
(09:18):
And you're knocked down at camera days? Did you ever
and whenever take a picture of you like I don't
want a picture, and you did knock a camera out
of their hand? That ever happened, I don't know. I
didn't do it over at Charles Place. Well, Kanye would
do that though, Like right, people would put up a
camera and be like, hell, let me get your picture.
He's like, get out of my face and knock it out.
I just wonder if that was a like in Brandley's
you know, Troubled Days, if you ever knocked a camera
(09:39):
out of somebody's hand, I would say there's probably better
than a fifty percent chance, there's one hundred percent chance
that whoever it happened to remembers it more than I do.
What does it mean? I mean, I know what it means,
But what does it mean to you when it says
produced by Brantley Gilbert? Did you send in the studio
and produce a song yourself? For sure? Man, we came
(10:01):
taking a different approach to this a record, you know,
with with COVID and everything going on. It was a
little bit of a different price where a lottle bit
of a different process for us, and um, it was
it was kind of one of those things where we
we really worked off a lot of demos man, and
and uh made what we could happen. But you know,
everybody was kind of operating and recording in their own
(10:22):
little space. So if you get into a spot and
you want live drums or you want this guitar player
on it, you kind of send it to them, they
play the part, you know, send it back to us.
And and uh, I tried to be in a chair
beside beside will Wesley or brought Barry Hillett off, but
you know, as often as possible and put in my
ten cents, and uh, you know it's uh, it's something
(10:45):
I'm proud to have my name next too, and and
and I'm excited for everybody to hear this whole album.
All right, here we go world premiere day. We're gonna
play it now, the worst country song of all time
with Toby Keith and Hardy which, by the way, Brentley
will be on the road starting uh June twenty fifths,
so looking at next week all the way up until
May six. He's basically all over the country. You guys.
Check out the tour dates at Brantley Gilbert dot com. Bradley,
(11:06):
good to talk to you. I didn't think anything about this,
but I'm getting a lot of messages that that Brantley
Gilbert song is basically the same song Eddie and I
and John Party did with can't say that in a
country song, because his whole song is this is the
worst country song ever. You couldn't put all this stuff
in a country song, Yeah, which is kind of our song.
And that's what and that's what we did a couple
(11:29):
of months ago, which is fine, But I really didn't
think about it. And now Lunchbox and Ray are telling
me to sue. Yeah, sue. Listen, we have to have
lawyers that listen to this show, and I guarantee if
someone will take up this case pro bono. I don't
guarantees this. Listen. I don't know that there's anything you
(11:50):
can have the same concept. Listen, it's Is it weird
that it's at the same time, you know, two months
after we put ours out? Yes, it's very weird. I've
never heard this concept before we put it out. Is
it weird? Yes? But do I think there's anything to it? No?
I think it's just accidental. Should we ask a lawyer
if there's anything? Yeah, because man, I just got hit
(12:11):
with a bad like plumbing bill. I mean, that's gonna
really help out, you know what I'm saying. Let me
ask Lunchbox and Ray, what do you guys suggest. I
would say you had to sit down with an attorney
and sue because they obviously obviously heard your song and said, hey, man,
this is a great idea. I don't know they did. Listen,
Hardy and Brantley wrote that, like you said. And to
other people, I don't know they heard this song. Maybe
(12:31):
they're fans. Oh you should, I mean, and they do
have music lawyers. I just google what does a music lawyer?
Music specialized who deals in legal issues surrounding the music industry,
copyright infringement, Bohm, Let's go. I didn't think anything about this.
I still don't. I'm not gonna fall. The latest from
(12:54):
Nashville and Tullywood Number two Skinny lots of new music

the World was a small town. If the world was

(14:38):
It's time for the good news lunchbox. Something good. It
was graduation day in Center Point, Alabama, when Timothy Harrison
showed up for his shift at waffle house and his
manager said, hey, man, aren't you supposed to be at graduation?
He goes, oh, I don't have a way to get
across town to the ceremony, and she goes, oh, wait,
(15:00):
right there, so called a different manager that wasn't working
that day, drove him to the local store, bought him
some new slacks a dress shirt, drove him to the
ceremony to get his cap and gown, and didn't ever
take it to the ceremony. So the assistant managers waited
in the parking lot while he graduated. Wow, they couldn't
get that assistant in there. They couldn't sneak him into watch.
He said, I had people that wanted to see me succeed,
(15:20):
so it kind of made me excited. When I put
on the clothes. That was a different feeling I've never had.
I don't even know the words worth a million dollars.
It was the best feeling in the world. That's pretty cool.
It does made me want to waffle too. Yeah, I
love waffle House. To me, wins like when it comes
to breakfast places or late night places, it's waffle House
for me all the way. Some people like I hop
(15:43):
and some people are snooty. I want to say it
right there, waffle House. There is waffle House. They don't
They don't treat you any different. Rich, poor, black, white, tall,
short people into waff House. It's one. You know, my
family came in eight the other night on the plane.
I want to go pick him up at like one
in the morning, and waffle House was Yeah, I mean
(16:06):
it was hard metting pills walk up a waffle house. Okay, Lunchbox,
that's a good one. That's what it's all about. That
was tell me something good. It is time for fun
Fact Friday, where Amy comes in. She's tough to beat
and she takes on a new challenger every single week.
Today that challenger is Morgan number two. All right, they'll
(16:27):
get five fun facts, and what we'll do is pick
which one we think Gabe the most fun fact, personal
what the most points wins. Lunch Bucks will not be
on the panel today because the last week you said
you were going to vote against Amy regardless which got
you two weeks suspension. Oh you gotta be careful. The
panel today judging me Eddie Raymundo. Let's go with fun
(16:48):
fact Friday hit US number five. So the employees at
Disney parks aren't allowed to point with one finger at
anything because it could be seen as a negative gesture.
So if you ever see them pointing, they've got two
fingers because other countries that one finger point could be bad. Well,
in America, there's a certain one finger points. It's pretty
bad too, right, But a lot of times we point
(17:08):
is something We take our index finger and we point,
but they have to do two. It's interesting, almost like
a flight attendant. Okay, Morgan, did you know that you
can sneeze faster than a cheetah can run? Clocking in
at one hundred miles per hour. We sneeze faster than
cheetahs run. Okay, it's a good rookie, one cold start, Eddie.
(17:31):
All right, So I'm gonna go with Amy because I'm
going to Disney over the summer, so fun, I'm definitely
gonna try this out. Excuse me, where is the lemonade stand?
And then there goes the right, Well, can you point
to it? I'm gonna see what they do. So Amy,
I love your fact. Raymuna, Yeah, let's go with Amy definitely. Eddie,
let me know if they go two fingers or one
at Disney. You got it. Ray, I'm going Amy as
well on this one. That one was a pretty easy one.
(17:52):
But again it was your first time ever Morgan. Number two,
Cheeta doesn't sneezy? Next number four. So Barry Manilow wrote
the jingle for State Farm hit it good neighbors. Now
do you people know who Barry Manilow is? Uh? Copa cabanah? Yeah.
(18:14):
At the Yeah, he has a bunch of songs, but
I don't know that at the younger age, wouldn't who
Barry Manilow is. Okay, But he also wrote the jingle
for band Aid. Are Barry Manilow? Okay, there you go,
Barry Manilow. Morgan. Goose bumps are meant to ward off predators.
(18:36):
It came from our ancestors to help us appear bigger
when up against predators and trying to be on the
defense and look more intimidating. Okay, So goose bumps make
us bigger and bigger scares away people that are mean, Okay.
Ramondo gotta go Morgan number two. None of the millennials
really know Barry Manilow Eddie. I love Morgan number two is,
(18:57):
but I'm not a millennial and I'm a jingle writer.
I did one for whosi. What's its right? Amy? I
love the very Manloe story. Morgan's is interesting because like,
why do we have goosebumps? But I don't feel bigger
when I get him. I don't feel like anyone wanted
to beat me up and I got goosebumps and they're like, whoah, sorry, buddy.
I gotta go with Amy too. I think her delivery
(19:18):
was not good. I think she should have started with
a very Manalowe song to show people. But because I
do know who he is, I'm also gonna go with Amy,
and there is Amy with two points? All right? Okay?
Number three? Well, copper doorknobs are self disinfecting, so somebody
needs to tell me why every door knob in the
world is not made out of copper? Is it? Price? Probably?
(19:39):
I would assume that. Yet, Oh that's the coolest thing though,
Like I now, I figured Bobby, you would want to
know that, at least at your house you could copper
it up moderately, Morgan, yours. There's only one animal on
earth that can't jump, and it's an elephant. An elephan
can't jump at all. Can't jump, hello, legs. They don't
(20:00):
jump over stuff in the circus or anything. I mean,
they might be able to if they're forced to, but
their physical body is not allowing them to jump. All right,
this is a pretty easy one. Copper door knobs or
jumping elephants, Ray, jumping elephants, Morgan two, Eddie, not a germophobe.
Give me the elephants. So I mean too. I just
think it's more fun anyway. Jumping elephants for the win.
All right, two to one, Morgan, you'll go first this time, okay,
(20:22):
number two. The dot over the lowercase I or J.
Do you know what it's called? Silipsy a tittle? Oh easy, hey,
bleet that out now. I'm just getting everyone wonder what
she said? Hey, no, no, it just sounds like something else.
What a tittle? A tittle t I t t elie.
(20:44):
It's the what, the dot over the what, the eye
and the J when they're a lowercase. Hey, don't forget
to get your tittle. Hey, okay, Amy, So a pharaoh
once lathered up his people around him in honey so
that all the bugs would go towards them and he
would be bug free. That's funny like his you know,
servant type people. I mean awful. Let me say, first
(21:07):
of all, awful, but wow, I know that's how Nope,
that's awful. You kind of jack. Then I don't care Ray, Amy,
Pharaoh and Honey very interesting and cruel Eddie. You know,
I don't know. I'm stuck between this one, but I'm
gonna have to lean towards Amy the tittle thing like
(21:29):
it's interesting to me, but Pharaoh I like it. Yeah, Amy,
I gotta go. I like the tittle, but I'm gonna
have to go with the honey as as the winner
there on that one. All right, one more down to
the number one. Number one, Well, dolphins have been trained
to use in wars. Huh, I never knew this, but
(21:50):
what dolphins were trained to use in wars? In a war.
But like in the water, they would use them to
do things like even in Vietnam they could train them
to like carry things down or do stuff. I don't know.
It's just the funny fat that like dolphins, is it not?
(22:10):
You can give us more details nothing fun. And it
also war is not fun, right, Like, let's talk about
something fun. Well, let's start with war. But if she
knew like how they train them, like I read about it,
or if they use machine guns, right, what you're saying
dolphins the grenades? Right, yeah, it'd be like, Wow, that's cool.
What is it? Flippers? No? See, I read the whole
(22:34):
paragraph about it, but now I can't remember exactly what
they did. I just thought it was interesting that dolphins,
like we hear about dogs being used to like help out.
They weren't harmed, they were helped. Don't know they weren't harmed.
Now you're just making stuff up, Morgan, what is your fag? Okay,
does anybody ever wanted to know why your fingers and
toes shrivel up when you're in water for a long time?
I do want to know that it's because our body
(22:55):
is trying to find a way to improve our grip
on wet objects, much like rain treads in car tires.
It's pretty cool. Yeah, it's better than a war dolph. I, well,
did you know the dolphins could be trained to use Yeah,
dolphs are very smart. Yeah, I know they're smart, but
being used in war. Was that flipper when he threw
the bottle back in the boat? Yeah, Ray, you gotta go.
(23:18):
Oh my gosh, you don't have to. M too. Always
wondered why shriveled up? Me too, And I'll go with
the Morgan me too. But that means though the three
two victory, Amy wins again. A lot of strategy in
this game, A lot of strategy. Amy, congratulations. Yeah, don't
be sour because your last one day. I'm not sour,
(23:40):
but okay. So the dolphins were used to detect submarines
and underwater mines. It's not a good look. She's fighting it. Yeah,
she promises. No dolphin got No. I'm starting to think
maybe they did get hurt. Anything in war, probably got hurt. Yeah, shoot,
all right, thank you you are the winner. Though. Fun
(24:01):
fact Friday, close it up, raymondo. Fun the fact that
you call us after the show and leave us voicemails.
We love it, We're appreciative for it. This is James.
I want to leave a little message about this SCAMMERA
check that Amy might have. If she looks on the
check and whatever thinks of its road on, she should
(24:22):
go to that bank and cash it that way, she
didn't have to put her banking information. Okay, and you're
doing that this weekend. Yes, we'll be taking care of it.
I'll have an update for you next week. Amy got
a check from those cat people that were scamming her,
and then a listener calls it, don't put it in
the bank. We'll get into your bank. We don't know
what's happened. Yeah, there's something called a scammera check. Yeah,
let us know. Okay, Monday, Katie and san Antonio left
(24:46):
this voicemail. Hi, morning. I just wanted to say that
I listened to you guys on my weight to the
gym every morning. I'm on my weight to the gym
right now, and I was like, hey, I'm just scamming
a voice. All right, have a great day. Bye. That's it.
Else there, we'll take it. Here's Tommy in Las Vegas. Hey,
good morning, studio. Just Warner. What happened to the chocolate cicadas?
Just saying listen, I don't remember hearing uh anything on it.
(25:09):
All right, have a good day, broken. We have women's
studio today. We will be doing it in about ninety
minutes or so. The chocolate cover cicadas are here, someone
will eat them. We'll spend that wheel and coming up. Baby,
it's like a cicada. I bet it's me, dang it.
He's Amy's pile of stories. There's a web designer that
(25:32):
named his baby ht m L. I saw that. I
want to be if he calls HTML or just hy h. Well,
technically the boy's name is Hypertext Markup Language, which is
what HTML stands for. That makes sense. They're they're they're
calling the baby HTML for sure. I mean it's like
(25:53):
if you you named your baby after your career, Like
who would it be after my career? Like you're in
radio or TV or like he's a web designer, so
he likes eight called the microphone or the FM. What's FM? Stanforgan?
Frequency modulation? There you got guys modulation, little modulator over here,
(26:14):
modge Yeah for sure. I mean they have to call
that baby H right because you get tired with hey,
HTML come here? Yeah? Okay. So I love when foods
collab and cinnamon toast cut Crunch is now collabing with
cinnamon rolls. So Pillsbury dough Boy and they have cinnamon
toast Crunch cookies coming out and cinnamon rolls with the
(26:35):
cinnamon toast crunch. I can't even I'm so excited. That's
pretty good. Although we talk about this stuff and we
never ever go buy it. We're always like, I'm so
excited for it, and then I never see it in
my real life. It's always it comes and goes like
a ship of the night. Yeah. Well, these are something
you can look for if that's something that you're into,
because they're hitting stores nationwide this month. I do love
cinnamon toast crunch with anything though. That's the best cereal. Yes,
(26:57):
I don't need it that often because it's way too
much sugar in it. That's the best cereal. Still, I'm
on my Special K with berries. Oh no, that's not
the best cereal. It's okay. Considering what I get from it,
it's pretty good, you know. I'm trying to stay healthy
but have a little flavor. I do Special K with berries.
The berries are ended already, the freeze dried, but they're
good with almond milk, and they have a bowl every
(27:19):
morning and then I try to not eat too much milk.
I fill the bowl up with milk, but I try
to eat too much milk so there's enough milk to
pour a little more back in there again. Oh but
if there's not, I don't. It's kind of my rule
on how much cereal my cereal intake? All right, what else?
So Kelly Clarkson covered Joe Diffy's Brought Me Up Beside
the Jukebox. I bet her audience was like, what is this.
(27:45):
I've never heard that song before. It because unless you
know nineties country, you probably don't know problem Me Up
Beside the Jukebox. My favorite Joe Diffy's song, By the way,
this is up with sand over over her. You can't
hear her. Yeah, it's good. She's always good. She's the best, best,
best singer, good talk show host. She just got it all.
I'm jealous. I start resenting her right now. Yeah, that's good.
(28:08):
We added to Women of Her Country. You're playing Atlantis
more sets with Willie Nelson on the road again. It's yeah,
it's Atlantis with Willie. And we've reached out to try
to get Atlantis on the show. We've had a little
success of possibly landing that up. Okay, but whenever I
was going to kind of going to the list of songs,
I was like, huh, I wonder if he will get
mad about at Atlantis, and I was like, you know,
I don't care Amy and get the hate she hosted, Yeah,
(28:29):
what about adding Kelly Clarkson brought me up beside the juwpot,
not a studio version. Okay, okay. Every every show episode
she comes out and covers a song. When I did
the Kelly Clarkson show, she came out and did Prince
when Doves Cry. Oh that's cool. And so you're I
did the show on zoom, but I'm sitting here on
Zoom watching her sing when Doves Cry, and they're like,
(28:50):
all right, cut, She's like all right. Next secondment, she
walked over to her chair and then starts interviewing people.
It's pretty cool. All right, all right, I maybe that's
my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time
for the good news. So this kid, Will Wooton, who
is a boy Scout, was on his way to become
(29:10):
an Eagle Scout, so he had to have a project
to focus on so that he could, you know, move up. Well,
the local fire department where he lived was struggling, so
he decided to help him out. They needed new turnout suits,
which is protective suits that firefighters wear in the field.
So he started fundraising with a car wash and then
he sold Crispy Kreem doughnuts. Word got out. His goal
was really totally raised twenty five dollars. He raised twenty
(29:33):
two thousand, enough for the department to buy new turnout
suits for every firefighter on staff. So the fire chief,
James Bowen, says, they were so grateful and the funds
have allowed them to keep doing what they loved to do.
It's pretty good. Yeah, what's kid's name? Will wooton? Whoooooooooooo,
(29:54):
that's what it's all about. A nice shop that was
tell me something good. We're just a few minutes away
from Brett Eldredge performing live in the studio, so that
will be fantastic. Now, today's Morning Corny is a bit special. Why. Yeah,
Well because I got a text from Trevor Rosen, who's
an old Dominion and he just said, Hey, randomly thought
of a good dad joke in case you want to
(30:15):
have him for the Morning Corny. Okay, so this is
a celebrity corny. Yeah, okay, So I replied to him, yes, definitely.
So he sent it over to me as a question
and then I had to kind of like guess and
then he sent me the answer, so just like we
do here sometime to involve for me is where the
text message goes. But and then he has his own
gift of himself laughing and then he sent that, so
(30:35):
I was like, wow, you're a little comedian over here. Okay,
here it is. This is all submitted by by Trevor
from Old Dominion. Right, yeah, okay, here we go. Why
did the thief stop stealing windows? Why did the thief
stop stealing windows? Because it was a pains taking process.
(31:01):
Get it, window panes panes. Yeah, here's a gift of
me laughing. Not pretty good, that's pretty good. That was
the Morning Corning on Monday show. Eddie will be in
route walking from West Virginia to Tennessee, basically one hundred
(31:22):
mile track over four days, averaging over twenty miles a day. Yes,
you feel like you're in shape of this. Yes, I've
been training for over two weeks now, not a lot
of time, but yes, I'm as ready as I can be.
Mila in Oklahoma is on the phone to talk about
this for a second. Hey, Mila, how are you Hi?
How are you bunny? I'm doing pretty good. What would
you like to say. I would like to tell Eddie
(31:44):
I am so encouraged for him to do this walk,
and I wanted to give him a few tips. Every
year I do. This is Bendie Cohen three day walks
for a cure. We walked twenty miles a day. We
don't have hotels every night, we sleep contents deployed and
I in Afghanistan and she's in the military day. So
(32:10):
the ide about if he'll put moleskin on his heels,
that really helps the blisters. You can get it at CBS,
waverings anywhere, and changing shoes is like that other doctor
had said, is the great thing. So but I just
wanted to encourage him. And you know, if I did
it in the hundred and thirty, yeah, continue. So I
(32:36):
just I just wanted to give him a quick shout out.
And I'm so happy for him, and I am encourage
about how much you all right, all right, thank you
very much, thank you for your call. That's right. Let's
not let it be lost that we raise sixty thousand
dollars absolutely for National Angels, an organization that helps the
foster children Sean and Arizona is on real quick. Hey, Sean,
what's going on? Hey, So I heard you guys this
morning talking about eating chocolate covered pictatos today. Yes, and uh,
(33:00):
it just reminded me. Back in fifth grade we did
a whole unit on and some mathgi just just eating
bugs for nutrition. And at the end of the unit,
our teacher brought in from talking to covered crickets for
all of us to try. And I remember at first
I was really grossed out at the thought of eating
a bug, and I ended up eating it and thinking
that it tastes like a Nextlee crunch bar. So I
(33:22):
think you have a light it love, But I'm very
excited about this. The only difference for me is this
bug is much bigger. Yeah, I'm much meteor. I don't
want a crunch. You don't want to crunch. It's got
a crunch. It's gonna be like you ever have a
Stark crunch in the battle boxes. Just to give it
a star crunch, we'll Debbie Stark crunch. Hey, I appreciate
that call, Sean. Hope you have a great day for sure,
(33:44):
you guys, do I see a bud. The Friday morning
conversation with Brett, How are you, budd? I'm good? How
are you doing I'm doing good? A question for you
you being a Cubs fan and just a baseball fan
in general. The debate we have on this show is
is it okay to where a jersey? First of all,
as an adult man. I did wear an Arkansas Razorbacks
(34:06):
baseball jersey to watch Arkansas play, and Caitlin was like,
are you gonna really wear a jersey? And I was like, yeah,
because we're going to a game. That's what you do
in a game, right, But first of all, can you
wear a jersey to a game as an adult man? Absolutely? Okay?
Now can you wear a jersey as an adult man
just hanging out like going to like, I don't do that.
(34:28):
You don't do that. I mean, you can do whatever
you want. I don't do that. If you saw in
And also I told her too, and you guys can
jump in on this. I said, it also matters what
sport the jersey is, Like, you're not gonna see me
wearing a basketball jersey somewhere because there's just too much arms, there,
too much action you can see in this ship. You're
not gonna see me wearing a football jersey because it's
just too big. But a baseball jersey is almost like
(34:49):
a shack it. It's almost like a ship. I mean,
especially if it's styled like if it's like super jersey,
like I don't know, Like there's I think there's vintage
ones that I really like. I would wear certain ones,
but I don't always do that. But I don't. I
don't judge anybody for doing that. Here's my next question
in fashion, Okay, high fashion, here we go. So, being
now that I'm forty years old, I still have hoodies
(35:11):
that I bought before I turned for Is it okay
to wear a hoodie at even your age? You thirty five? Now? Yea?
Is it okay to wear a hoodie at thirty five
in your opinion? Absolutely okay. I wear lots of those.
What about me though, five six years? Absolutely okay? As
you're wearing one now, yes, you can say no, I listen,
you can say whatever he wants to say, hoodie all day.
(35:32):
I don't buy new hoodies, but I grandfather them in
I still wear them if I bought them. That's a
good call. So I don't go to the store and
be like, got to get me a new hoodie. But
I do own a bunch and I still wear them.
So it was because if you did buy a new one,
you'd wear the same old ones. You kids they're more
comfortable or whatever, or they're just they have a thing. No.
I just feel like I don't need to be buying
(35:53):
new hoodies. Okay, I can still wear the ones I had.
I don't need to be buying billionaire anyone would do,
I get it. That's how you visible. I'm good, really good.
Every time I see you on social media, you're like
deep in the woods and I just see your boot.
I wonder on those hikes that you take, because it's
it's always a stream or a tree or any eagle
(36:13):
flying over. Do you ever get inspired to write music
though as you're doing these these walks. I mean I
I hike almost every day. It just kind of gets
me out of my head and kind of and real stuff,
I guess, and it and opens it opens my mind
up a little bit, and uh so I'll get melodies
or something I'll recorded on my phone or and get
(36:35):
ideas and just kind of contemplating. Just walk around, look
at look at bird, look at eagles up in the sky.
Can you name a song that you have written that
was inspired by you walking in the woods. I would
say a lot of my new ones are, but I
wouldn't say, like, there's one that's like I went hiking today,
that's a hit. If I heard hiking today, there'd be
(36:57):
a very specific market. All the hikers out there. Love
birds chirping in the background of the song insert real birds. Yeah,
the ones as you were hiking. I kind of like that.
That's the challenge we're giving you for the next three years. Okay,
you have to somehow put the word. You have to
put some sort of hiking reference. Have you ever put
a hiking reference on a song? No, but I should.
I mean I think it's very specific. Yeah, but I
(37:20):
mean people love yes, and it can be subtle. It's like, oh, baby,
looking your eyes reminds me of when I was hiking,
and put it on you hiking boom there. Yeah, that's
all we got right now. That's all we need though. Hey,
that's how you get to the hits. That's all we do.
You're talking. You just mentioned something about new music, So
(37:42):
are you recording music right now? Yes? What's that plan?
Hopefully you get get some stuff, you know, you know,
the process can take forever sometimes, But I've written probably
aided the songs for my new album already. And now
I'm starting to record him. So it's been vocaling him
and recording him, and so I'm I'm deep in it
And how locked up do these songs live? Because you know,
(38:05):
like Taylor Swift will only play them out? Did you
ever do show up at the box and flip it
open and be like you can only listen? Oh I
hear it like this? No, you know, I'm a believer that.
In fact, if we get time, I'll play I'll play
something no one's ever heard today. But like I I
like to just get it out there because I like
to see how people react to things. And there's there's
avenues you get music out there. Now, it's like I
want to. I want to. I'm always writing songs, so
(38:26):
I want to. I want to hear what people think
and how they feel from it. What if you played
a new song and we reacted in a negative way
like we were, and we're like all wrong. We don't
hide it well sometimes I mean there's subtle clues like
you could if we're like, don't give away all the
nervous right now that if I something it's tough. There
(38:50):
are things because at times I will not hear an
artist until they play on that stage that you're on,
and once they play, you realize, oh, they do not
sound at the same level as the recording sound. And
then it's awkward because I don't even want to look
at home until it's over. Yeah, we're like, I won't
I won't let you down. That's stuff. Well, why don't
(39:11):
you give us all something new? Do you have? The
song's memorized already lyric right here? Okay, what's the one called? This?
Was called I want that back? I want that back?
And did you write this? I did? And what was
the inspiration of this new song? This inspiration actually came
at four am in the middle of night. It was
kind of in the heat of pandemic times and kind
of looking through all the things I don't need my
(39:33):
life and could go without, and the things that you
want to hold, you know, pull closer, and you know,
as as the simple things that that mean a lot,
that that I want to hold onto, and the things
you want to throw out. And so it's called I
want that back? And what room of a house or
a bedroom did you write this in? I just want
to get the full picture. Are you. Did you wake
up and write it or were you are waking up?
This thing where four am? It's where almost And I would,
(39:56):
I would. I've got this little like old school recorder
because I don't put my phone by my bed because
then I'll look at it and I'll wake me up
and then I'll think about it or something. So I've
got this little quarter and what I do is i'll, i'll, i'll.
If I have something to pop up, I'll just record
it right there. And I had the whole lyrics of
this chorus just kind of show up in the middle
of night. I don't know, it doesn't always have like that,
(40:17):
but it just did. And and I had one buddy
that I knew was a perfect person to help me
finish this because I already wrote the chorus. Helped me
kind of shape the verses a little bit and everything.
And and I called him up. His name Scooter Crusoe,
and uh, we wrote mean to Me and want to
be that song. He's kind of been one of my
guys that I've always written with, and I think we
got a really special one, but nobody's ever heard it,
(40:39):
so here it is. We will be the judge of
that bread let's see how special it is. Okay, so
this is call I'm trying to get the strike because
I've never it's called I want that back. I want
that back written at four am for the most part, Yeah,
what were you wearing in bed? Bob Miley T shirt?
And uh, you sleep in a T shirt? Yes? I
think weirdo? What we jump on him for? I don't
(41:00):
sleep in a shirt sometimes when I'm not getting both.
But that night it was probably about Molly T Shirt's
accept it right here we get about Molly T Shirt
singing this song. All right, here's I want that back her.
You can have the small talk. You can have the hay,
you can have the check your phone each time you
get a little break, and you can have the lonely.
(41:25):
You can have the bank, you can have the TV
full of stations to tell you how the thing. But
the smell of old wood bleachers and the word at
hometime preachers being rich with her and a cheap six
pay Yeah, the shine of a new summer, barefoot baseball
(41:49):
with my brother, first time freedom with the windows cray.
I want that bag. That's really good, man, that's really good.
Give it a good dang dude, that's a good one.
(42:09):
Anybody else get emotional? Yeah, goose bumps? Uh yeah, me too.
I felt that yeah in my forearms usually some of
my thighs too. Different as I start to think about
where they hit me, it kind of have my forearms.
I mean, okay, okay, yeah, I mean God gifted you
the voice of an angel. Thank you? You ever just
look up and go, yo, dude, appreciate that I did.
(42:30):
Sometimes that's weird. I don't understand how I got it,
but I got it, and I'm glad to have it,
and I feel very fortunate. So I'm trying to belt
it out right here. Why did I not get it?
You know? You got other things, man, I think that
about a lot of people that come in here. It's
easy to get envious of that. It's a brand new
song from Brett Eldredge. When will people just your best
(42:52):
guests here? When do you think people will be able
to hear the version of that from a studio a month?
Two months? I would hope in the next few months. Really,
And it's a good one. That is a good one, Okay.
The Friday Morning conversation with Brett Eldritch going out on
the Good Day the American tour dates. That means there
are European dates too, so you're gonna go be basically
(43:14):
most of may You know what when you go somewhere
like the UK, like, how are you received? There? Is it?
Here's an American who sings country music, let's go explore him?
Or they like, oh my gosh, Brett Elder just coming.
It is such a for me. It's like the excitement
of like when you get your first hit or a
song it's even starting to get played, and people get
so excited because you know, they get to discover it
(43:36):
first or something. When you go you know, thousands of
miles you know, away from home and play music, I
just feel like there's so much appreciation. So I continue
to want to go back, you know, every year that
I can, And so it is really it's really cool.
Is it weird to go places and they sing your
songs back when they don't even speak your language? Because
I think that will be yes, absolutely like old but great.
(44:00):
I played in Berlin and I remember playing up there
and I remember like being in meet and greets and stuff,
and a lot of people didn't speak English. But then
I'd look out in the crowd I'd be like, all
these people are speaking English perfectly fine right now and
they're singing it, so it's it's pretty cool. I think
it's it's a special thing to be able to have that.
If your record label came to you today and they said, hey, Brett,
(44:20):
we heard you play the new song that you just
played on the bibone show. We really feel great about
this album. We've heard some tracks, but we really need
you to post a shirtless pick to promote the record
and the tour. They came to and pulled you aside,
so we need you to go shirtless. What what is
this question I'm asking if you If they came, it'll
be uncomfortable, but they were like, hey, we really need
to go full sex appilled. Would you would you post
(44:42):
a shirtless picture like on the front of your record?
Would you do that? Would you be sless? Hell? No, No,
I could ever live with that. Why? I don't know.
I just you know, I'm always working out, trying to
trying to get better. But it's I want, I don't want.
I don't want to see that. No one else wants
to see that. What is the Brett Eldridge workout routine?
I left about four days a week, and and I like, uh,
(45:06):
like I'm trying to I'm trying to put on some weight.
So I'm just lifting weights and and uh cycling for cardio. Yeah,
but trying to put all weight. You have trouble putting
all weight? Well, I last year during the quarantine, I
ran the whole time and I didn't go to gyms,
and so I just lost a ton of weight running
like crazy, which was good for my mind. But then
(45:26):
I was like, God, I'm kind of skinny. So I've
been trying to eat a lot more. And I mean
I'm always eating healthy, but eat more and and have
a lift weights and and uh, and make sure I
get a lot of cardio in for my heart. Must
just want to feel good. So where about going back
on stage and not having your air like if you're
singing all these songs. Yeah, it's a big part. I
mean you could be. I've been swimming a lot and uh.
(45:49):
And I also do these I do the cold showers
in the morning, and I do that did anybody else
anybody else? Gas? Do you do? Like that? As cold
as it go? Yeah, as cold as I can possibly
get it, sometimes at least three minutes. So you do
the three minutes. So I did this morning three minutes.
If there was like a mystery murder in talent, I
(46:09):
would go, well, let's go look at Brett and Amy
because their psychopaths. In other ways, that's whimf. Have you
heard of that guy? No, So here's this this Dutch
guy that um teaches like this breathing and then this
technique to where you can go in and withstand crazy
cold temperatures by doing this technique. You gotta watch it.
Just look it up. It's really I don't think it
will whatsoever, you know, you know, I mean, I'm always
(46:34):
very open about like anxieties and stuff like the cold
shower really helps pop me out of like a weird state.
Or have you done cryotherapy? That box you get into
this freezing Okay, no money that he said therapy Like
I started going like maybe six or seven months ago,
and it was my three minutes of some people going
there they want to listen to music and dance out,
and I go in and I'm like, no music, Just
(46:55):
put me in the box and I come out like
a better in a better mental state like I did
mine for injuries. I'd never felt like I'm gonna be
a better person. Oh well, I mean I would. I
went and I was coming out like mentally better. So
in a way, that is a different injury, you know
what I mean. It's not like a muscle recovery, but
it's like an emotional maybe anxiety or I'm with you
(47:16):
type regy. Okay, well listen next, we're gonna do some
breathing everyone when you go. Have you started working on
your set list at all? For when I literally yesterday
my my bandleader called me, it's like, all right, let's
get the set list going, which makes me so nervous
to do that because I was just you don't have
to pick through a lot of songs. And what's the
first song back? Like the first opening song. It's the
(47:38):
first it's you, You're walking on stage, first time in
the year. I mean, I think it's gonna be I mean,
it's a good day. Tis it's gonna be a good day.
I don't know why I would infuse so you start
with that, I think, so this is set like a
positive mood. What's what do you close with? I don't know.
We need to figure this out now we gottain. I mean, okay,
(47:59):
let me think what I would if I were going
to your show, you just I don't think you're gonna
like my answer. That's it because when you look back,
I'm sure you're tired of playing. That's not tired, but
I'm sure if you got to pick you play, the
new stuff gets more exciting as an artist, right because
you were living a different life. Whenever you put Don't
You out? Yeah? Absolutely, But however, I think you close
on don't You that's thought about song to close on
(48:20):
just because it's big, it's upbeat. Yeah, Actube used to
be of the music. That was a good one to
close with. Um, but maybe that's not bad thought my
running run when I wrote the Flagpole for me? Do
you ever not play a hit? Oh? I did that
one time. It didn't go well? No, why did you
(48:46):
not play? I think one time we just screwed up
or something and we forgot to add like and I
played mean to me every time, but it was like
mean to me or something, you know, and and it's
one of my favorite times of play. And somehow it
slipped to our you know, just writing the set list
because I like to I'd like to switch it up,
and uh, I think I forgot it that night and
we're like, man, something didn't feel right, Like there's a
moment in the show that we didn't have and it
(49:07):
was that and so many people were like, that was
our wedding song. Oh man, can you imagine you go
to here one song? Don't play it? So have you
come to the Good Day Tour? I will remember every song,
I promise, And if we're not, h I'm sorry, Well
you play the Long Way? Yeah, because that is not
not here. I mean, if you play now that's but
I'm saying, will you play that on tour because that's
my favorite song? Yes you willhood you're committed. I like
(49:28):
to I like to break that one down. Sometimes it's
played acoustic. Well, lucky for us, that's what he's doing here. Yeah,
well you play us some of the long Way? Yeah, okay,
all right, okay, let's bring it right into it. Just
to take a trip around around your town. Right here
we go. Don't think I've ever seen you kind pretty
wandering around this midnight mad house. You gotta look. It
(49:52):
says you got it all good. So if you don't
mind that lot, know, you better see me the long
way around you will? You? The Queen with the super
Crown I want the secret shou Ki, the shine underneat
(50:18):

there it is, okay, coming in our big boss. He
(58:55):
comes on the show about once a year. Bradley Gilbert
put out a new song today as a world premiere
called what's it called the worst country song of all time? Right,
worst country song of all time? And it's a song
basically about all the things you can't say in a
country song. Oh, here's a clip. Eddie and I have
(59:22):
put out a song called you Can't Say That in
a Country Song, which is basically the same song. Yeah,
because you just described this song as basically a song
that says things you can't say in a country song.
So the title of our song. We put it out
with John Party like two months ago, maybe the less,
and now all of a sudden, this is out fishy.
The thing is ray and lunchboxes in my ear. They
keep saying the same thing to me, Sue, Sue, I
(59:43):
didn't even think about it. Well, but we're gonna bring
our boss in and we're gonna see what he has
to say. I don't want to do anything that is dramatic,
but I'll not, but I'd like to get our song
played a little bit too. You know. I didn't even
think anything about this when it happened. Then listeners were
just going, do you hear this? Do you hear this?
And I was like, nah, stop it. Today, Brantley Gilbert
(01:00:04):
puts out a good song called the Worst Country Song
of all Time? You heard it? Yeah, And the whole
song is doing what it's sort of like, saying things that, yeah,
you normally would never hear in a country song. For example,
here's a clip of Brantley's new song. So it's all
(01:00:29):
stuff you don't hear in a country song, right, And
they say that worst country song of all time? But
Eddie and I did a song called a country song
with John Party, and so our boss Rod is in here. Now, okay,
have you heard these songs? So when I heard Brantley's song,
I of course had heard your song, and I did.
It did not occur to me a little bit, maybe,
(01:00:50):
like somewhere in the back of my mind, but I
wasn't like, wait a minute, wait a minute, this is
the same thing. And then I played him back to back.
I'm like, same concept, right, And is it weird? You
just put it out. I've been playing it live for
two years, doing comedy shows with it, and then we
just put it out and then it comes out. Well,
I don't know define weird well, Brayan Lunchbox, Sue Sue
Sue Sue, Sue, Sue Lunchbox, I don't want I think
(01:01:15):
it's well, I think it's a coincidence. But me too,
For the record, I think it's coincidence. But here's my
You two are not chanting sue now yet, right, got it?
Here's my beef is that you give them a world
premiere seven times on every radio station. The song is
playing throughout the day seven times nationally. Is that true?
It's about that? Yeah? Okay, how come we didn't get
(01:01:37):
a world pmiere with the same song? Explain yourself sue
Sue Sue sue R. I expected the self promoter that
you are, that you would just do that on your own.
But I can't play on at three pm. Yeah, or
can't or we should, right, So I'm willing to drop
my suit. Guys, whoa yeah, a law suit. So I'm
(01:01:58):
willing to drop my potential lawsuit if you can do
maybe even next week A world from here. Okay, but
we've already We'll just call it that because no one's
hurt anyway. Rights us, the raging idiots with John Party
can't say that in a country song. If you give
us the same love, I will drop it. What should
we get John Party to do to finalize this? First
(01:02:18):
of all, his boy he lost his voice. You can't
talk that. I saw that on social So nothing. He's out,
he's out ed, he's in. Oh, I'm in. Yeah? Are
you suing? We need to know who's suing and who's
Not's the thing. We're all on the same boat, so
one suing, we're all soon. Yeah. We all want to
get rich. We got lawyers, I got Yeah, we have
Morgan and Morgan in our back pocket. We can call
(01:02:39):
it anytime. Yeah. So if I'm willing to not be
irritated by this. I thought about challenging Briley to a
celebrity boxing match, like brass knuckles. You can't Brack's knuckle
a celebrity boxing can. He's not small though, I mean
he's Yeah. I probably lose, but still, can you, Rod Phillips,
(01:02:59):
head of Eye Radio Country Division, all the stations, can
you guarantee us next week a world premiere? Seven plays nationally?
Every seven plays. That's what you gave. Now, now we're
now why did you get Well, here's the point too,
here's the point to nationally. There are cities where this
show does not run. Doesn't matter, not many, but but
(01:03:19):
we need on those stations. Well those stations though those
listeners probably are not as familiar with Bobby Bones in
the region. Sometimes we debut a new song on the verge. Heck,
make us on the verge. Then that's right, Amy, great
point too. They know John Party, that's true, great point.
Yell over him one versus seven. Yeah, Yeah, you're doing
a lot of stammering. And there's some litigation coming quickly.
(01:03:41):
We love litigation. Yes, okay, so let's let's negotiate this out.
Go ahead, Maybe not maybe not here, maybe not now. No,
I think we need a plan for the cities that
don't run the Bobby Bones show. That isn't that is
a it's Bobby Bones. But the cities that don't run
us at night many run at night. Yeah, we want
seven plays nationally or we're taking this to the next level. Sue, Sue, Sue.
(01:04:06):
I feel like we can work something out that's going
to be come to us with a plan momicable for all.
We'll call you Monday or Tuesday, and you let us
know what you come out, Okay, yep, Monday Tuesday, and
then we do it next week. Sure, but you will
admit it's a little fishy. Well, it's interesting. I never
heard a song like this in my life. Well A
suddenly we write one and who you all wrote it
or John wrote it? No, I wrote it with Jim Beavers.
(01:04:27):
Whose idea was it? Jim and I we sign a
room and wrote it, and then Jim wrote with Branley.
But you know what, maybe Jim wants to Sue. I heard.
I heard that that Hardy was at the same restaurant
that Jim and Bobby were that night that they decided
to write it. But I heard right, and then I
wonder if John hung out with Brantley and gave him
(01:04:49):
the idea played it on the show. Okay, let us
know Monday or Tuesday. How do you feel about Eddie's
heading off to after the show? Today's driving to West Virginia,
walking too Tennessee. I can't wait, Gator Harrison, who who
program a bunch of our radio stations? Why we're thinking
about coming over for full support? Oh? Like signs and
you know where to Tennessee? Where? Well, somewhere somewhere in between.
(01:05:09):
You're somewhere in between West Virginia and Tennessee. Okay, depends
where you're at. Do you like that bit? Right? I
love the bit, but it starts on Father's Day. Otherwise
i'd start. But Other's day is kind of a thing. Sorry,
you're sorry, you're leaving your kids. Eddie sor right, he's
been here. We're gonna do something. We're gonna get something
out of this. You're guaranteeing that. I'm guaranteeing you get
something out of it. I feel like you'll like it, Okay,
(01:05:30):
I feel like here from a better hope we like
it or else it's Sue Sue, Sue, Sue was gonna
do some research over the weekend and find out what
exactly we can win monetary damages. Oh, I know he'll know. Okay,
we've been suffering. We're good. Ray heady to the chocolover
cicada a few minutes ago. Would you like a chocolate
cover cicada? I'm gonna pass. Okay, I'm going to pass
(01:05:50):
right there. He is our boss, Rod Phillips, who also
admits that it's a little fishy that song exists. Yeah,
it's it's in. I didn't say it was fishy, said
it's interesting. It is interesting. Okay, we'll end on this.
We will play can't say that in a country song
from Bobby Ows and Raging Idiots. It's only two minutes long.
So is this one of the two PM or we're
not on the air. We want to see it fly
(01:06:12):
up the chart. Got it? And if we don't, we
know we do su to be a great week. Here
you go, Sorry to day. This story comes us from
New York City. A twenty seven year old man was
in a restaurant and he said, hey, excuse me, can
I use your restroom? And the seventy seven year old
(01:06:33):
cook said, sorry, sir, there are no public restrooms. The
twenty seven year old got mad, grabbed the cook by
the shirt and threw them out the front window. Wow, dang,
healthy response, hoping they were on the ground level the restaurant. Yeah,
ground level, not on one of those New York skyscrapers.
They just throw them out. Also, I mean you got
to grab him by the back of the collar, like
(01:06:55):
that's that's a tough thing to do, throw someone out
a window. Yeah, it's like a movie. So what happened
to the guy? He got some scrapes and bruises, had
to be taken to the hospital, and the twenty seven
year old ran, but employees ran after him and tackled
him and held down to police came. Should have thrown
him out of window too, walked and just found a window.
Oh yeah, buddy, you want to see what this is like?
All right, I'm lunchboxed. That's your bone head story of
(01:07:15):
the day. Thank you guys for listening. Hope you have
a wonderful weekend. Amy on your agenda. Oh this weekend
I've got I'll be celebrating you and Caitlin. We're having
a wedding shower, couple's wedding shower. So that's pretty much
like my big activity. What about you. Well, that and
Caitlin's parents are in town for that, so we'll be
(01:07:35):
doing a lot of entertaining there with them. Cool. I'm excited.
I have never met them. Yeah, oh you haven't. No,
not her parents, so they're actually a lot cooler than
you would expect because of Caitlin. But I just have
always heard stories about in law is not being cool,
Like that's been every story and every TV show. It's
like law sometimes you get lucky, and I think you
got lucky. I keep waiting, like the TV system. I
(01:07:56):
supposed to like them, but yeah, I know that. I
actually been looking forward to them coming to town. So yeah,
that'd be a big part of the weekend. Be sure
to watch Sunday Night if you can. If you can,
if you watch Breaking Bobby Bones on nat Geo at
ten ninth Central, would love it, be so appreciative, and
if you miss it, you can watch it on the
nat Geo app where you can get it on Amazon.
(01:08:17):
Get you an episode there. I'll be driving the eighteen
wheeler through Chattanooga. I had to get my CDL for
this episode and then another one. I'm learning how to
stop a towboat and run a towboat, which is crazy.
Thank you, see you Monday friends,
