Speaker 1 (00:08):
Hey, guys, welcome to this show morn Studio Morning. Luke
Bryan coming up a little later on. I thought we'd
start the show with the little mail bag today. Let's
open it up Bobbies mail Bag. Hello guys, my name
is Tristan. I have a quick tipping question. I've been
(00:29):
trying to say money by finding restaurants with curbside pickups
so I can avoid the delivery fee. Delivery fee think
here now. My girlfriend and I have been debating on
whether or not I should tip when I drive myself
to the restaurant to pick up our food. I say no,
she says yes. Why should I tip them if I'm
picking up the food? Don't you tip the service when
you dine in? If I get delivery, I tip the
(00:50):
delivery guy. But why should I tip if I'm the
delivery guy? I think my girlfriend should tip me for
picking up our food. Who's right? Hurt or me? Signed Tristan,
Well officially Tristan, you are right. If you're picking up food,
you've probably already paid for it online. There's probably already
a little slot there for you to decide to tip
or not. Right, You don't have to tip if you can.
(01:14):
I always recommend a buck or two. If you weren't
gonna tip, and you could do a buck or two,
that's great. If you can't, that's great too. I don't
think in this situation you are deemed wrong for not tipping.
If I'm on the Supreme Court, I would have to go.
I reluctantly side with you, Tristan. I wouldn't. You don't
have to tip. I hope you do. I try to.
(01:35):
I try to tip anytime if I have a few
extra bucks, because I know what it was like to
push carts, wait tables, bus tables, work at a growth.
I'd just dep done at all. And when Sonny give
me extra couple bucks, even when it wasn't tipping time,
I'll be like, are you crazy? This awesome? And these
people are also probably struggling more so than ever because
of the industry. But you don't have to. It hurts
(01:56):
me to say that. I would love to say yes,
but you don't have to. What are you saying? Okay,
So I wouldn't side with him. I'm siding with the girlfriend.
You should tip. It doesn't have to be twenty percent,
like if you were going to dine in and yeah,
the tip just like you're saying, Bobby, this is I'm reluctantly.
You have to be tipped at a restaurant. You have
to tip. I'm saying in this situation, it's not mandatory
(02:17):
to be tip. I know, but I think we need
to make it the new love would love it, would
love it. But what's the service, right, what's the service
to make it mandatory? I'm not feeling that service to
make it mandatory, I would tip. I just say it
ranges anywhere from a dollar to five dollars, no matter,
depending on what you can spare. But yeah, even if
(02:38):
it's just a dollar, if you can spare nothing, this
is this is what the answer is going to be.
If you can spare nothing, do you not get curbside?
If you can spare no money to tip? Because this
is all where it lies. I know, I get it
one dollar. I mean, all I'm saying is, you have
fourteen bucks in your account. It's going to cost you
fourteen dollars to get this food. Are you going, well,
I don't have enough money to tip. I can't do it. No,
you're gonna do it to food. It's curbside? Right? Did
(03:01):
I just shift you? No? I advise him to go
to the store and get food to make it for himself,
to say money, so he could have five dollars left
over and pay nobody and then still have money his
banking out. It's a weird one for me, Tristan, because
I hate to side with you, because I am a
good tipper, because I needed to be tipped throughout my life.
But when I see where his girlfriends coming from, the
(03:22):
curbside is a different thing. It curbs up is never
a thing, really no, And now we'll add restaurants they
have parking for curbside picked up. It's a thing now.
So we just need to make it the norm to
throw a little bone. I would love to make it
culturally a norm. Or maybe right now it isn't. If
you don't have extra dollar, you take him a little
treat or something. Oh boy, now Amy, Now Amy's tipping
him in old UCDs and stuff from the cars ground
(03:45):
of some old change or something. All right, that's what's happening.
It's the good news countdown, counting down the biggest good
news stories across the left. Let's go, we got five
of them for you. Let's hit Little Caesars has now
donated over a million pizzas to healthcare workers across the country,
(04:07):
and Haines is handing out a million face masks to
the homeless. And Little Caesars used to be the jam
Oh so good. I haven't had any in a while,
but if I remember the annoid, yeah, a little guy
was called Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. But if
I get invited to a birthday party and they had
Little Caesars, I thought it was the coolest. An all
girl robotics team at a high school came up with
(04:30):
a new ventilator for hospitals. It's cheap and easy to make.
A normal bit to lator can cost twenty thousand dollars.
This high school robotics team of all girls made one
that costs seven hundred dollars. Wow, isn't that crazy. There's
a charity called Mary's Mills that normally provides food for
kids at school, so they've had to pivot the last
few months. But now they're reaching out and getting just
(04:51):
as many kids they did before, around one point six
million every day around the world. So they've said, okay,
we can't get kids in school, but let's just find
kids that need food right now, not even just during
school time. So they found a way to take this
turn and actually do more for more during this time.
I thought that was pretty cool. An emergency room doctor
(05:12):
from Louisiana got the virus in April, then had a stroke.
He was on a ventilator for thirty nine days but
survived and on Friday finally left the hospital and got
to see his kids and his wife for the first
time in three months. Imagine that you're working in an
emergency room, which, by the way, you got to have
something special and you just to do that. Can you
imagine what comes in there? Not even just COVID times
like gunshot car at times. You know, Yeah, he gets
(05:34):
the virus, then has a stroke and still lives. That
is that is good news. Why and a family in
Ohio couldn't pay their rent after the dad lost his
job because of the pandemic, but it said a kicking
him out. The landlord said hey, stay and here's the
next one hundred bucks to help cover the bills. I
thought that was pretty cool. I'm gonna end on that one,
(05:54):
and that, my friends, is the good news countdown, the
good News count. You know, we started talking about this,
but we held off because I wanted you talking about
it on the show. You know, some people believe in
signs and with you when you see a cardinal, you
think it could be a sign from your mom who's
passed away. Well, yes, it all started with my sister,
(06:17):
though I kind of rolled my eyes at it when
she started seeing the cardinals, several cardinal though. Okay, so
my mom. When my mom had cancer, we took her
into hospice, which ultimately ended up being my sister's bedroom,
and so that's where my mom took her final breath.
And so right outside that window, there's a tree in
(06:38):
my sister's bedroom, and she saw a bird's nest the
week my mom died, with little eggs in it, but
she didn't know what kind of birds they were, so
she was kept watching them and then she saw that
they were cardinals and she kind of just felt like, Okay,
this is interesting. So she googled cardinals and started reading
(07:03):
about them, and they symbolize joy, and my mom with
pimp and joy and choose joy, her motto being joy
all the things joy. During her cancer battle, my sister
thought saw this hatching of new life and then this
she just felt this piece of like, hey, that's Mom
telling me everything's going to be okay, and she sees
(07:26):
cardinals during times. So fast forward to her being at
my house last week. We were having to have some hard,
like a family conversation about some stuff that was hard
and it was heavy and it was important, and I
was just feeling overwhelmed. And she looked outside my window
and a cardinal flies by, and she looks at me
and she says, Mom's here. Everything's going to be fine.
(07:51):
And I rolled my eyes right. So, then a few
days later, I'm sitting in my car parked in a
parking lot revisiting some of this stuff. I'm on the phone,
dealing with some of the family things, and I look
up in a tree and a kid, you not, I
took a picture of it. There's a red cardinal right
in front of me in the tree. And I heard
(08:12):
my sister's voice in my head, clear as day, say
Mom's here. Everything's gonna be fine. And I felt calm,
and I thought, oh great, Now I'm the crazy person
with my sister thinking that my mom is sending red
cardinals to remind us that everything's gonna be fine. I'm
surprised I got through it this telling it just now
without getting choked up because I'm not that person. I don't.
(08:35):
I would, kind of, in a nice way, make fun
of my sister because she's been on this cardinal thing
for years and I have not been there. And now
I feel like I'm there, and I think maybe you
just have to be willing and ready for it or something.
So now am I crazy? I'm gonna say you're not crazy?
Here's why? Okay, why now? Again? I consider myself an
(08:57):
extremely pragmatic person. However, you can't prove it your mom right, No,
but you can't prove it's not your mom's a hold on. Okay,
you're asking me if you're crazy. I know, but I'm
want to clarify just so that people know I don't
think my mom is the bird. Oh, but you can't
prove you're not in the bird. You can't prove. My
point is there are a lot of things in our
life that we have to simply have faith in that
(09:19):
you can't prove on or off. Yes, very true, and
for you to pick a side, if it puts you
in a better place, it's not wrong the end, because
there isn't a way to prove that it is or isn't.
And if it makes you feel better in a sense,
follow me here if I'm going down to the next level.
In a sense, it is your mom. It doesn't actually
(09:41):
have to be her or something that she specifically sent out,
but if it's making you feel better by the thought
of her, that's her presence that has created this feeling
inside of you. In a sense, that is your mom.
Maybe not right from her, but for her to present
this feeling like she had to do it for it
all the way to come back around. I think it's great.
(10:03):
It makes you feel better, go for it. Oh, it
was just crazy how it just it worked for me.
And yes, I do think maybe it is something we
tell ourselves, because I'm sure people see there's certain flowers
or other animals that maybe they feel as though as
a sign from a loved one they've lost. But yeah,
(10:24):
I think as long as it's bringing me comfort, there's
nothing wrong with it. I would never tell you that
you were wrong about that. I actually I would like
I would say, hey, you know the cardinal. I do
see the cardinal. Now, this is what I would say
to myself, right, That's what I would you say. I
would say. I wonder how many times I've seen cardinals.
Didn't realize it because it wasn't top of mind. Oh
I know, I thought, that's not you. I'm not talking
saying that to you, but that that's how I fight
(10:45):
myself off with these things because I need to see things.
I'm a little different than you. I need to see,
in touch and feel a lot of things. I need
to see, numbers, data, I need to see. But that's
how I work. That's not how you work. Well, but
you're no, But you're totally accurate all humans. And like
you blue car, then all of a sudden you see
blue cars and you weren't noticing blue cars. Right, That's
that's proven. I think we all do that. But I've
(11:08):
known about my sister's cardinal thing for years, ever since
it happened, so six years, and I don't I've never
been into it. And the minute she saw the cardinal
fly at my house last week, and then I was
open to her being like, hey, everything's gonna be okay.
I received it. And then the next time I saw
a cardinal, which I don't notice cardinals, and it was
(11:30):
in a moment I literally needed it, like I was
dealing with something in that phone call and I look
up and there's a cardinal in the tree, and I
think you take it as out and then you take it,
you love it, okay, you find comfort in it. Nick,
We're always searching for things to put us in more
stable positions, to make better decisions. Yeah, and I think
(11:50):
that's what happened here. Nobody second guessing it, okay, because
you can't. You're not gonna be right or wrong, so
you might as well to be right, right. I might
as well just see it as a sign that everything
was gonna be okay, because what else is it? Yeah,
it could just be a cardinal. It could You're right,
it absolutely gonna be just me a cardinal. But you
get to choose how you see it. Yeah, you get
(12:11):
to choose how you react to people that treat you
certain ways. You get to choose our life as all
of our little bitty decisions, and that's what ends up
being the big decisions. Yeah. I'm gonna talk about this
family drama now, not right now, All right, cool, all right,
lunchboxes at the cardinal. It sounds so hokey. See see,
(12:34):
I knew it's gonna come off and it's crazy. Yeah,
people are gonna tell you you sound like a lunar tic.
But I mean that's that's okay. I think we all
look for things that make us feel better, and I
think you found something there in that moment. They gave
you peace. I don't think you have to see everything
for everything to be real in general, to be fair,
If you are rolling your eyes at me, I get
it because I was rolling out as like last week.
I know, and that's why I wanted to bring it out,
(12:54):
because you were struggling with it. Yeah. I think there
are a lot of people that are going through this
right now. Yeah, and let me say there's nothing wrong.
What do you feeling Because he can't prove to you
that wasn't your mom sent that or presented that, or
he can't prove it. You're right. But then I want
to say, thank you your mom presenting the cardinals in
my backyard every day. Oh yeah, well she didn't create
all for you telling me to tell you it's gonna
(13:15):
be okay, Okay, guys making fun of me, Tony la
Roussa called said back when he used all right, we're done, um,
all right, Thank you, Amy, thanks for sharing your story.
I think a lot of people really did find yeah,
something in that I've got vulnerable and a few shared
with yall something that I wasn't hating. But don't bring
this to me. Yeah no, I just you know Roussa
(13:39):
used to coach the Cardinals way back in the day. Okay,
all right, it's time for the good news. A pair
of college hockey players set off on a multi state
journey to raise money for the American Cancer Society, and
they did it on rollerblades. These roommates, Andrew Walker and
(14:01):
Jacob Akins, departed from Boston on July thirteenth. They traveled
nearly nine hundred miles to Lansing, Michigan, on rollerblades for
their fundraiser. Holy Moly, the University of Massachusetts Boston teammates
spent ten days rollerblading, keeping their supporters up to date.
That a men in blades Instagram and so far over
twenty seven thousand dollars. Crazy. That's a that is a
(14:22):
long way bad weather. You used to rollerblade if it rained,
I like twice I bought some rollers. Well, I knew
it was a big deal when you got the rollerblades,
we heard about it all. I was excited to go,
but yeah, but when it rained was a harder. Rollerblade.
I mean no, I wouldn't go anywhere. If there was
a puddle, I wouldn't go through it. Okay, one, never mind,
(14:42):
Andrew Walker Jacob akins, that's awesome. That's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good down Sorry. Today, this
story comes to us from Murdock, Florida. A man had noticed. Man,
my car stinks. I need to improve the smell of
I'm gonna go on this day tonight. So what can
I put in here? Ah? Send it candle? So he
(15:04):
lights the candle, puts it on the passengers seat and
he's driving around. He hits the brakes, falls onto the floorboard. No,
there's papers on the floorboards because I've I've done that
thing where you put something in the seat and it
falls over, usually food. It not a candle. That part
of it though a little weird. Dang, what happened with
(15:24):
the car does have any final is it's destroyed? Yeah,
completely destroyed. But he's okay, I'm lunchboxed at your bone head.
Story of the day. Raymundo, our audio producer, is getting
married in October. But he has a baby update that
I think we weren't expecting. Do you know about this
what no Raymundo would like to tell everybody. Yeah, so
(15:47):
it's been a long seven years. We've been trying to
do the engagement, the marriage, squeeze it all in, why
not throwing a kid as well? So we did freeze
the twenty three eggs. The only way for us to
take that next step is for us to get a surrogate.
And we have finally done that. We've got our surrocate.
So I think a lot of listeners maybe yes, why
you would need a surrogate? Yes, So the deal is, Uh,
(16:10):
if my fiance was to try and have a kid
with the frozen eggs, it would risk cancer again. So
she doesn't want to do that. And she just fought
and beat cancer. Correct, she had breast cancer, and so
I guess with the hormones, it's really really bad. So
you have to almost if you want a child, go
to surrogate. Oute. So who came to you and said
they would be your surrogate? Morgan number two? Oh my god, Wow,
(16:33):
maybe that was great because I looked over I saw
her face during this like she almost like knew something.
Go ahead, Ray. So my fiance had a very serious
talk with my sister and she said she's in her thirties,
and she said she'd be more than happy to carry
our kid. Wow wow, yeah, entirely for free. I mean,
(16:57):
obviously I would be indebted to her for life. But
these surrogates are very expensive. My sister said it's a
labor of love, no pun intended, and she would be
the surrogate. How much does surrogates cost? Like thirty thousand
dollars or more or less depending on but I mean,
I would say on average. And then there was also
(17:18):
other people piling on another person in her family. I
don't know if she's comfortable mentioning right now, but she
also said she'd do it for free and your family
and her family okay, that she would carry the child.
And then a listener hit us up on Twitter and
said in California and she would be a surrogate. So
we have three now lined up. Well. The average cost
of surrogacy can range from ninety thousand dollars to one
(17:40):
hundred and thirty thousand dollars, depending on the individual arrangements.
Where did I hear thirty? I guess I was looking
on a cheap site. Uh. Well, but yeah, we trust
my sister. She already has two kids. So, if you
need any more proof, there it is. Does she have
to live down here? Though she probably would. She'd move
here for nine that'd be awesome too, what she lived
with you and you're apart. Yeah, I'd be like, come
(18:01):
on over here, sis, Mama, give me a kiss to
your sister. I'm just kidding around. I don't know my
kid's inside of her. It's like if I wanted to
be close to my kid and listen to her stomach.
I'm literally listening to my sister's stomach. It's kind of weird,
but you just got to laugh it off. I mean,
that's life. You never know what's gonna get thrown at you. Yeah,
you're gonna to kiss her belly and stuff when you
(18:23):
if that, If that's how I need to get closer
to my kid, I will kiss my sister's belly. Would
you watch if it was a vaginal birth? No? Oh,
absolutely not. That's a tough question though. Wow, I'm at
home with a hard hitting stuff. I have the same thought. Um, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Do you think this will happen? Yeah? Would you even
though it's your sister, would you feel like you should
(18:44):
draw a paperwork in case she decides to keep the baby.
I've seen too many movies. No, I have a bond
with my sister that will never be broken. Okay, do
you have enough room in your apartment for all three
of you guys to live. We'll get a house. That'll
be a next year thing. But when you guys planning
on doing this, first the wedding, but then I believe
next year the apartment lease ends in the summertime, so
(19:05):
basing a baby on our apartment league So like how
you're just thinking, yeah, farmer ladies in June, so we
could probably start all right? WHOA wow, wow, wow, you're
excited about that? Oh yeah, honestly, because you guys had
said it was twenty thousand dollars or more, and then
the fact that we have to have a surrogate, it
was kind of worrisome. But my sister I asked her,
(19:27):
I said, were their drinks flowing? And she said no,
it was an honest conversation at brunch, and she said
that she would be more than happy to do that
for us. We congratulations, Bud, thank you, that's awesome. Yeah.
I couldn't have been more happy to hear the news.
Anything you'd let to end this one. No, it's so cool.
I'm happy for you. That's amazing. And maybe you play
baby and baby us out. I will go. I will
in those twenty three eggs. We're coming for you. One
(19:48):
of y'all is going to create a baby. All right,
there you go. The thing that this Jason gibble character
has in common with most of his calls is that
he's always trying to make money. That's right, he's a
business business deals, trying to get that money. Jason Gilbolet's
lunchboxes side character. He's made. Who do you call this time?
I call a memorabilia shop, and I say, I have
celebrity memorabilia I'm trying to sell because of the hard
(20:10):
times with the economy and everything. Okay, here we go,
But hold on, he probably played played after Is it
real memorabilia? No, it's just stuff I've made up. Oh
you're making this stuff out? Yah. I'm making him stuff
to see what I would get for it if he
was really interested. Okay, okay, kay, good afternoon. How may
I help you? Hey, it's Jason Gilblet, business man making
business deals, trying to get that money. How are you good?
(20:32):
How are you? Oh? Good? Man, look, I'm gonna tell
you what. The pandemic is hit, and I am ready
to sell some of my memorabilia, all right. Yea. So
I was at a Carrie Underwood concert, okay, and I
was sitting pretty much front row, and she was chewing
a piece of gum and she spit it. I jumped
over the retaining wall and I got her used piece
of gum. Um. We're a sports memorabilia store. I don't
(20:57):
really think we would take something like that in whoa, Whoa.
She's married to an athlete, so it's basically like that
gum was in her husband's mouth because they make out,
so it probably has some DNA from him. Gotcha. Well,
I don't think that's something we're looking for at the moment.
All right, you're for one? Oh? For one? Now are
(21:18):
you calling somebody else here saying no? The same guy?
I was like, okay, I'll pivot. I got something else
for you. You know who Garth Brooks is, Yeah, okay,
Well he went to you know how he used to
go to spring training with the Padres. Yeah, well I
was there and he hit one and boom, he hit
the ball and it was just a foul ball. But
the bats splintered and guess what I got the splintered piece. Okay,
(21:39):
so I mean, how much is that worth. I don't
know that. I don't have it in front of me
and it's not authenticated. Oh no, no, it's I mean
I got I got the ticket stuff from the game
that I was at, Like you can tell, like it's
a brown bat and it's a brown piece of bat
that I got. I'm I'm thinking like maybe twenty five thousand.
(22:02):
I can't bye, they are not doing. These guys that
going on pond Stars and they're like, listen, limited edition.
This sword was used in the first ever shooting of
Game of Thrones. This is when they were shooting the
pilot and you're gonna love it and collectors are gonna
go wild. He goes, well, let me get my Game
of Thrones expert in here. He calls a Game of
Thrones expert and the guy shows up. It goes, Hi,
I'm Trent. I'm the first foremost Game of Thrones expert.
(22:24):
I'm here to look at this sword and we're we're
gonna see what's happening here. I'm very excited about this.
He opened, and he goes, well, okay, this is fake,
and he goes then he goes, well, look, I can
give you ten dollars for it, and then the guy
just wants to die. But that guy kind of felt like,
all right, nice job, lunch. You're Amy's pile of stories.
(22:44):
If this is gonna sound disgusting, but stay with me
because I'm a big fan of salty sweet. And there's
a new thing that's rice crispy treats with hot dogs
mixed in and then you put like cash and mustard
on top or relish if that's try this, because I
would try it, but it doesn't sound like something I
would like. Well, so there's a website called The Vulgar
(23:06):
Chef and they just release this recipe hot dog rice
crispee Treats, and you make a batch of rice chrispe treats,
but you cut up little hot dogs mixed in and
then yeah, they ketchup and mustard or relishes on top,
and I feel like the combo might work. I'm looking
at it might work. I know when you say it
out loud, it's disgusting, but I'm looking at it looks
like a hot dog like because it's in the middle
(23:27):
like a bun. The rice Chrispy treat is a bun.
Just think about you're eating a hot dog, but the
rice crisis a little sweet bun. Yeah, that's not so crazy,
right when you think about it, full rice crispe tree
with little hot dogs in it, that sounds disgusting. If
you think of the rice ribete, it's just the bun.
It doesn't sound so bad. Interesting, all right? What else?
So if anybody gives it a go, let us know
the taste of country. It came up with the top
(23:49):
country love songs, and this is from like readers and
then their opinion. And I'm just curious if you agree
with some of these. How many do they have there?
We have the top five? Okay, is it's your love
gotta be on therepe Oh it's not, okay, Well I'm stupid.
Go ahead. Then Rascal Flats, Bless the Broken Road, Great One,
Thomas Rhet Die a Happy Man? Are they all knew? No?
(24:11):
See Lone Star, Amazed Classic, Junior High Dance Classic. I
will go on DJ sound on light shows. I'd be like,
all right, kids, and I played this, or I play
Brian mcknights sometimes back to back really get them with
the back to back. Yeah, because kids didn't want a
fast dance. Yeahs again, Junior high. You can play. You
can play all the humpy dance you want it, but
(24:33):
nobody's getting out there or they didn't split up. But
you play a slow dance. And this is why you
do back to back because it take about half a
song for them to actually get the courage to ask
someone to dance. And then while it's playing, you go,
all right, guys, we're gonna do one more. Looks like
you having a great time out there. Boom hit the
second one, and that one they get to fully enjoy.
Got it strategy? All right? And a number two Garth
(24:55):
Brooks off Jamara never comes my man. Number one Keith
Whitley when you say nothing at all? And who covered
this song and also made it a smash um a girl,
Alison Krause. Oh, I was gonna say lean but Alison Krause,
(25:16):
Yeah that's a great one. All right? What else you got?
So there's a new dating term called woke fishing. Are
you familiar? I am? Okay? Well it's pretty much when
someone person pretends to care about social issues to get dates,
like yeah, like they they put it on their their
their profile. Yeah, it's the newest dating term. And yeah,
(25:38):
they pretty much They pretend to be progressive about issues
and care about social things happening because that's what they
think the other person will really care about and will
attract them. And it's so I guess it's kind of
like being catfish, but with political beliefs, woke fishing. If
you need something to lure people, there you go. I'm Amy.
(25:58):
That's my file. That was Amy's Kyle of stories. It's
time for the good news. The story is just super sweet.
Chick fil A did a drive by birthday party for
a ninety year old employee that works at this Texas location.
Her name's Anne Mefford, and she had to take six
(26:20):
weeks off to stay at home because she's high risk
from coronavirus. And so when her birthday rolled around, Chick
Fila employees, customers that knew her, they gathered together and
gave her a parade. Here's the clip. She started getting
a little depressed that she didn't think we're gonna be
able to do anything. So we kind of got with
some people, we talked to OPD showed us the fire department,
(26:42):
and we thought, hey, let's do a big fun drive by.
We'll have a little party before. I'm so glad the
simul makes meet. They really love. That's awesome. Yeah, that's great.
That's what it's all about, right there was tell me
something good coming up in just a few minutes. We'll
(27:04):
talk with Luke Bryan. Always fun to have Luke on.
Let's go over to Amy now for the Morning Corny,

has the most streets? Rhode Island? Uh, Road Island. It's
like a It's like an island of Rhodes. Okay, I
(27:26):

Not really? Yeah, it was kind of funny, Morgan, you
got it, Thank you, Morgan. All right, well there you go. Yeah,
that was the Morning Corny. I'm gonna play you a
video game version of a country song. Okay, yeah, Mario

good times TXT on video game music number two? Can
(28:39):
you hand that one? Chattahoochie? Yeah, Alan Jackson Chowdahoochie. At
the very beginning I thought it was but loose at
the very beginning play. At the beginning, it was like,
you don't hear that? Maybe maybe that's where my brain win.
(28:59):
I was like, like like Shelton's version of foot loose. I
don't know. All right, let's do another one. Yeah, that one? Yeah?

do you get those? Mike? They sound not real? What
nerdy side is? Mike? On to find these games? On
(30:59):
The Bobby Own Show, now, anybody, what's happening? What's up?
You know? I was, let me do a couple of
accolades here for you real quick. One Margarita just became
his twenty fifth number one single. How in the world
do you even play all your biggest songs? You know,
I'm in a little bit of a quandary because I
was one of those artists and I'm like, if I
ever have number ones, I'm gonna play every damn one
(31:22):
of them at my concerts. And I'm like, yeah, twenty five,
probably gonna have to do him Madley. How many songs
in a set list? Though? For you on a normal
like a show night, you know, I think by the
time we're you know, because half the time, you know,
we go on at nine fifteen and week off stage
around eleven or a little after and about it. I mean,
(31:44):
in an hour forty five, which is a pretty lengthy show,
I guess we can get eighteen nineteen songs. You can't
even play all of them. Yeah, it's so yeah, I
mean ixpo if I'm gonna play everyone, But you know
what I mean, it's funny. I mean, there are songs
that you know, there's songs that lend themselves to certain
(32:05):
rooms and environments, and sometimes, you know, you can get
too many mid tempos and stuff like that. So we
like to you know, we like to keep a big
old live FUNU stadium party vibe going on, so sometimes
a few of the lower mid tempos kind of get
lost in the mix. On Friday, record comes out Born Here,
Live Here, Die Here, which, if I'm correct, here at
(32:28):
one point it was coming out already and you said,
let's hold off for a minute. Now it's coming out.
Is this the is this the right dat it's coming out?
Or is this the delayed data's coming out? This is
the delayed dat. I mean we were originally slotted for
the like April twenty fourth, I believe, twenty six, and
you know that was in the heat, that was in
(32:48):
the in the in the heart of really COVID confusion,
let's just call it. And you know, me running around
trying to promote an album or even figuring out how
we would even promote an album. I mean, that was
the that was the furthest thing from our mind. And
and I think we all know where we were at
(33:08):
and we're still you know, we're still a lot of questions,
a lot of confusion going on, but we just felt
like putting the album off was the right move and
so glad we did. I mean it kind of we
got to kind of allowed one Margarity to go have fun,
you know, go be a big old fun summer song
and and and so yeah, here we are. It's funny.
(33:31):
I've had this music for a long time now, personally,
like I've been in my truck listening to this album
for since January February. So now I'm really excited for
the fans to hear the whole, you know, the whole
piece of the you know, the whole, the whole project.
Luke Brian on with us now. The new records off Friday.
It's got a twenty fifth number one. Here's what I
(33:52):
was saying on the show. And I was a little irritated.
I don't know if you could speak on this, but
when they put out the Emmys for Competition show, an
American Idol wasn't nominated, I felt like, I mean, Reckon
Ido was snubbed because we were the first ones to
do pandemic television. We were the first ones, and other
people took what we were doing and made their shows
better based on how we did. Our show, and I
thought we got the shaft your thoughts you know, Um,
(34:13):
now that you said we did get the cheft, it's
it's uh yeah, that's not cool because you know, I mean,
I feel like Lewis and Clark have been I feel
like they have been you know, we we we we've
loved on them and they you know we we So
if we're we're the Lewis and Clark, you know, Bobby,
(34:35):
I'm with you, buddy. Let's up to make this be
known that you know, where's our damn Emmy? Yeah. I
was irritated that we weren't even in the nomination because
everyone now has figured out how to do this stuff
from home, but we were the canary inside the mind.
We had to go in and do it very first,
and we did on such a high level. And when
the Emmy nominations come out, we didn't get crap. Look yeah,
(34:55):
maybe I mean maybe there's there's uh yeah, I mean,
we didn't even win Technical Emmy. Nothing. Okay, you know, Bobby,
we just have to be happy and content that we
got an awesome show with American Eye. All right, I'm
going with that on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, I
(35:18):
saw your height on Google says you're six foot tall.
Now I'm gonna tell you I'm six foot tall and
I stand beside you, and you were taller than six
foot tall. Well, how tall are you barefooted? In underwear?
I am. I think I'm gonna just say six two,
but it might be six one in seven eight, depending
on you know, discrepancies of how my hair do is
(35:40):
that day. You could have just had barefoot. You didn't
have to go with underwear like that actually lends nothing
to your heart. I would be like weight, yeah, depends
on you know. Sometimes the weight of underwear can compress
your spine, and you know, are you having your underwear
that's making you waste so much? Well so now you
then then your point would be your six two. Basically
(36:03):
I'm six two naked, right, let me see? Yeah? I
mean who, yeah, we gotta fix this Google thing. I
don't want I need. Two inches is important? Well, just
so that you know, if I had a guess, you
seem even taller than six two, So you have that
going for you for sure. Well, what's interesting is when
you see me, I have a cowboy boot tone, which
(36:25):
give you about two more inches. So I am you know,
I feel like I'm I'm I'm rolling around at about
six four. So six four sounds like it's like getting
up there with like Trace Atkins level of of just
you know, just just built ask you know of dope. Man.
(36:46):
You know, John Party was talking to us recently and
he said he's selling the bulldozer. You bottom, how does
that make you feel? Well, here's the deal, um, I
gave John Party a lemon. I mean, it was an
awful gift. It was a I basically I meant, well,
(37:06):
the sentiment was there. I went and found him a bulldozer.
It was in my you know, I have a little
I have a price range of end of tour presence.
I like to pride myself in spending a good bit
of money on end of tour presence. I went and
bought this damn bulldozer. And all I've done is made
(37:27):
John Party a bulldozer mechanic. Now, so he is a
licensed bulldozer mechanics. The fact that he didn't just think
it in a lake instructure and yes, so I am
totally cool. So I also did this. I bought Jason
Aldean an old Bronco and it broke down every second
(37:48):
of the day too. So Jason sold his. So this
isn't the first time I've given a fellow artist just
a piece of crap. So I'm cool with them selling it.
I got two two things for you here. One, we're
gonna talk about the record for a second. This is
the first thing where knocking boots. We know what she
(38:08):
wants tonight. One Margarita, look, I know, Bill me a daddy.
What's the next single? Can you say that yet? Or
doesn't matter? You know what I don't. We are still
talking about it. What's funny about it is one Margharita
is still feeling like, um, it's still feeling like it
needs to still live on the radio a little longer.
And but we're we're talking it out. Um. Um, We've
(38:30):
we've got two or three songs narrowed down. And and
then you know, you start looking at time of year
and how you want to piece together even your songs
you perform next year. So so yeah, we we don't
have a pick. But good but good question. Bobby trying
to be a breaking news alert, just just floating it
(38:51):
out there. You know, Hey, listen, now I'm seeing all
these pictures of you posting fishing pictures. I asked my
next question, hold on, hold on my next question. I'm
glad you're bringing this up because Chuck Wick was in
my house the other day and Chuck's in we're hanging
out halving lunch, and he goes, hey, man, you're fishing
the line. I was like, yeah. He goes, I went
down to Luke's Lake and fish. How many times you've
been down there? I said zero? You know what I mean,
(39:14):
you didn't. You can't be a closet fisherman all of
a sudden, closet come home. No, he feels He's saying that, like,
if you fish, you're just now making it known. So
he would have invited you, but he didn't know you
fished because you were in the closet. I don't know.
I mean, Bobby, our relationship, our relationship has basically been
you like me, recognizing that you're an absolute workaholic. And
(39:38):
so when you start throwing these new hobbies my way,
you know, I need to know about these new hobbies
and then I can help you. I mean, nobody is better.
It's throwing around and diverting from work and creating more
hobbies than me. So yes, I'm ready to let you
capitalize your fishing hobby on some of my fish. Well
(40:00):
this isn't a new hobby, but my girlfriend loves to fish,
so we've been doing it more out together. And all
my point was chuckle, was like, oh, you've been fishing
a lot. Surely you've been to Lukes. And I was
like in inviting me, and Derek's like, yeah, we go
fish when Luke's not even there, and I'm like, what
in the world's happening? Yeah, all right, listen, we've said
it all. Thank you, Luke, Luke Brian, everybody at Luke
(40:22):
Brian on Instagram. Obviously one Mariarita just went number one.
It's just twenty fifth. Ever, eventually his whole concert's gonna
have to to be one big medley so he can play
the new stuff too. He's gonna play like nine all
right for this next story minute, you're gonna hear eleven
number one. That's what all Luke shows are gonna be
because he has so many number ones. All right, Luke Brian,
the records out Friday. Good to see you, Bud, and
I'll see you soon. It's time for the good news.
(40:49):
A couple of weeks ago, this ninety year old woman
was driving in Charleston, South Carolina, when her dog Bell
jumped out the car window and ran away. Couldn't find
Bell anywhere, so her son him posted on Facebook, Hey
my mom lost her dog and here this highway two
thousand dollars reward if you find it. Two weeks later,
nothing and then someone in Miami seized the post. They
(41:12):
found the dog on the highway in Charleston, didn't know
where it blown to, picked it up and drove it
to Miami. Reunited the family with their dog. Also, they
saw it back in South Carolina and they picked up
and it didn't have tags, so they took with them.
They were like, Okay, I guess we'll just save this.
They saw the post. Yep, that's crazy. Family got the
dog back. That's nuts. Yeah, that's nuts. That's what it's
(41:32):
all about. Right there. That was tell me something good.
So I'm having trouble getting hot water to certain parts
of my house. Some sinks toasty, some it just takes
forever to get there. So called this plumber out. He
brings another guy that works with them. They go like
underneath the house, side the house where like a hot
water heater or two there can they come out and
(41:54):
They're like, well, your water's not getting to certain places
of the house at the speed that it needs to get.
And I'm like, okay, how do we fix that. We'll
give us a couple of days. So they came back
and they said, well, we've we took it back, we
thought about it. It's gonna cost you four thousand dollars.
You're gonna need a couple of new water heaters. Oh wow.
And I'm like four thousand dollars. So we call for
a second opinion, and so another guy comes to that.
(42:15):
He goes, oh, yeah, eighty bucks. What oh, you need
to just put a low elbow here and do this
and it fixed problem. I'm like, are you here to
tell me this other company try to give me it
spend four thousand dollars. You didn't tell that other plumber
that beforehand, right, you just let them off. I just
let them go. Look okay, good, Yeah? Why well, because
then if they hear four thousand, then they've just come
(42:37):
in at you know, three thousand, eight hundred. No, no, no,
they didn't know anything else. You have this issue, right,
So he said eighty yeah. All in all, after labor
and everything was like one hundred and fifty bucks hasn't
done it yet. So do you think the first plumbing
company isn't as knowledgeable or b are they trying to
run the numbers a little bit? Or are they right
(43:00):
right and the eighty dollars guys are wrong. It's all
things I have to factor in. Can you get a
third opinion? You can? But I have to pay these
service feast roovle to come out. I know, but I
feel like for a four thousand dollars expense or something
being done right the first time, it might be worth
it because that's such a big difference. Yeah, not even close.
It wasn't even like you need the same but we
(43:21):
found a cheaper version. They're like, oh, you just need
to do this, And so I think what I'm going
to do is have that second guy do what he
says he can do, see if it works. Yeah, I
just can't get what. I was taking a shower the
other day, just add on my water problems, and water
started coming out from underneath my shower onto the ground,
and I'm like what, And so I've got towels everywhere.
My dog thinks I'm playing with him. He's jumping all
(43:43):
over the place. That water if it gets into a floor.
Oh yeah, it's not good nightmare all right. It is
all your home stuff done, not everything, but most of it.
And I'm meeting some neighbors. I met some new ones
and learn there's some kids on the street. Oh that's
(44:04):
good because I want my kids to have some made
to play with. And I hadn't I hadn't been seeing
any kids. But I think because of COVID, people are
just not as out in about or something. And suddenly
they just started to emerge and they were like multiplying,
and I was like, yes, with the sun, the kids
came out. So hopefully my kids will have some other
(44:24):
kids to play with me. Lunch box. I was thinking
about you today because I read this guy's planned to
win the lottery. Oh, I want to hear it well,
and mirrored a bit of what you used to do,
because you had a theory if you went to smaller
gas stations and you bought scratch offs or lottery tickets,
that you had a better chance of winning. Yeah. If
you always watch the news, it's always small towns that
(44:44):
have the big winners. It's never Oh, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, there's
a five hundred million dollars winner. It's like Patuca, Kentucky. Oh,
that's where I'm going, So I would drive to the outskirts. Well,
Paduca is a real town in Kentucky. Well, I'm saying,
but it's a smaller town. Yeah, yeah, I didn't. We
didn't know where put come last. So, okay, what do
you think happened here? I'll read you the first part
(45:05):
of the story. A guy visited forty stores because he
was looking for the one remaining five million dollars scratch
off prize. This guy from North Carolina. He went on
the hunt for the final top prize in a scratch
off lottery game. He visited about forty different stores, and
he would go in and buy as many of the
twenty dollars tickets as he could find. Now, did he
(45:29):
lose over fifteen thousand dollars while trying this technique? Or
did he win the five million dollars by finding the
single ticket? What do you think twenty bucks to stop
forty different gases? Did he lose over fifteen thousand dollars
and didn't find it? Or did he win the five million?
This is easy. This is all about math, and he
(45:50):
sounds like a smart dude, so he did the math.
He did the calculations. He won five million dollars. Oh
my gosh, I'm so jealous that I need to write
this play down. It is awesome. He says this before
I tell you what really happened. I went to about
forty different stores, and I bought every single last Mega
Cash ticket I could find. Amy. Well, see though, so
(46:11):
I understand his logic there, but he has to bang
on the fact that he's taking time to drive around
to each store and those that those tickets are being
bought as he's at another store, it could be being
bought at the other store. Wow. Wow, I guess maybe
he won just because that would make it this a
cool story. He won five million dollars. So which ticket
(46:35):
was it? Does? He say? It had a real good
feeling it was going to be in the western part
of the state. I went to about forty different stores.
His gamble paid off when he went to the Stop
and Go on US seventy. I scanned it with my
phone and it told me to go see a retailer.
So I scratched it off. When I scratched it off,
I couldn't believe that. I started shaking, and then I
cried He took the option of accepting his prize as
a three million dollar lump sum, which you after taxes
(46:57):
two million, one hundred twenty two, five hundred six dollars.
But he got online to see how many were left.
He found saw them was one, so he went driving
for him. Jean, I mean, look at that guy. I mean,
I wonder what gave him the feeling. It was in
the West. I just you know other ones came from
the East. Well, it gives you the feeling of anything. Yeah,
feelings just happened. Wow, Wow, that's crazy. Storial All right,
(47:23):
on the phone right now is Brittany. Brittany where do
you live? Him? Love it down there, Britney. What do
you do for a living? Um? Well, I am a
brand new stay at home mom. But right before that
I worked with the Red Crush. Well how brand new? Wow?
Congratulations look at you. Thank yeah, Demic baby, it's been fun.
(47:45):
All right. So you're gonna play music trivia against a
musician and it's Adam Hambrooke. He won last week, so
he's back this week. We're gonna change it up a
little bit from last week. So what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna give Britney five questions. I'm gonna come
back and give out on five questions and we'll Sue's
got the better score. Okay, you won't get the same ones. Brittany,
Are you ready? You're at first? I guess so, all right.
Music trivia question number one. What pop singer is known
(48:09):
as the material girl? Correct? Nice? Were you born in
the eighties or nineties? Brittany? I was born in the nineties. Okay?
Number two? Which band had a huge international hit album
in two thousand and two with the record A Rush
of Blood to the Head the band I do not
(48:31):
know this. You gotta take a guess, though, Brittany. You
don't want to let some just fly away? What band
had a record in two thousand and two, Massive called
a Russia Blood of the Head, Massive two thousand and two.
I'm gonna guess like a medallist, like bands A Grateful Dead.
It sounds aggressive at least it was a guess. The
answer was cold Play. Oh They're not that aggressive? Okay. Yeah.
(48:56):
That album was the album that I listened to go
to sleep for about two years. I loved it, but
it was always mind in my alright. Next up, the
song Independence Day was a big hit for what female
country artist? The song in nice No You're good, She's
got two right back on track Brittany, who sings the
(49:17):
theme song to the TV show Friends. Oh my gosh,
I don't know what band sings the teeth, So no
one told Julye was gonna be this way? Cup cut
cut cut, Yeah, don't. I don't even know. I'm gonna
guess the nice guy the nice guys. Yeah, it's the
(49:39):
rem Brand. I bet they were pretty nice, but that's
not the name of the band. Finally, before going solo,
this is older Phil Collins was the drummer and singer
and what band. Oh, to be fair, he was the drummer.
They had another lead singer. He left. He's like, well,
(50:00):
I guess I'll sing. He left and went solo, became huge,
and then went back to the band again. After that,
Phil Collins, I'm gonna get suns and roses. Incorrect it
it's Genesis. Do you know any Phil Collins music at all? Um?
I feel like there might be like a Disney song,
but he does. Yeah, Oh my gosh. Yeah, he went
so hard, went so hard that the Disney song was
(50:24):
You'll be in My Heart. Phil Collins went hard and
you may know the uh I can feel it coming
in now you know that one? Oh lordy okay, so

first music video played on MTV was Video Killed the
Radio Star? Who sang it? I knew it was Video
Killed the Radio Star, but I cannot remember who it was?

nothing on that. That's a little before me is incorrect.

(51:35):
ordered to pay approximately five million dollars to the estate
of which late musician because of the song blurred lines
Oh don't get me started. That was Marvin Gay. That

Hey, guys, welcome to this show morn Studio Morning. Luke
Bryan coming up a little later on. I thought we'd
start the show with the little mail bag today. Let's
open it up Bobbies mail Bag. Hello guys, my name
is Tristan. I have a quick tipping question. I've been
(00:29):
trying to say money by finding restaurants with curbside pickups
so I can avoid the delivery fee. Delivery fee think
here now. My girlfriend and I have been debating on
whether or not I should tip when I drive myself
to the restaurant to pick up our food. I say no,
she says yes. Why should I tip them if I'm
picking up the food? Don't you tip the service when
you dine in? If I get delivery, I tip the
(00:50):
delivery guy. But why should I tip if I'm the
delivery guy? I think my girlfriend should tip me for
picking up our food. Who's right? Hurt or me? Signed Tristan,
Well officially Tristan, you are right. If you're picking up food,
you've probably already paid for it online. There's probably already
a little slot there for you to decide to tip
or not. Right, You don't have to tip if you can.
(01:14):
I always recommend a buck or two. If you weren't
gonna tip, and you could do a buck or two,
that's great. If you can't, that's great too. I don't
think in this situation you are deemed wrong for not tipping.
If I'm on the Supreme Court, I would have to go.
I reluctantly side with you, Tristan. I wouldn't. You don't
have to tip. I hope you do. I try to.
(01:35):
I try to tip anytime if I have a few
extra bucks, because I know what it was like to
push carts, wait tables, bus tables, work at a growth.
I'd just dep done at all. And when Sonny give
me extra couple bucks, even when it wasn't tipping time,
I'll be like, are you crazy? This awesome? And these
people are also probably struggling more so than ever because
of the industry. But you don't have to. It hurts
(01:56):
me to say that. I would love to say yes,
but you don't have to. What are you saying? Okay,
So I wouldn't side with him. I'm siding with the girlfriend.
You should tip. It doesn't have to be twenty percent,
like if you were going to dine in and yeah,
the tip just like you're saying, Bobby, this is I'm reluctantly.
You have to be tipped at a restaurant. You have
to tip. I'm saying in this situation, it's not mandatory
(02:17):
to be tip. I know, but I think we need
to make it the new love would love it, would
love it. But what's the service, right, what's the service
to make it mandatory? I'm not feeling that service to
make it mandatory, I would tip. I just say it
ranges anywhere from a dollar to five dollars, no matter,
depending on what you can spare. But yeah, even if
(02:38):
it's just a dollar, if you can spare nothing, this
is this is what the answer is going to be.
If you can spare nothing, do you not get curbside?
If you can spare no money to tip? Because this
is all where it lies. I know, I get it
one dollar. I mean, all I'm saying is, you have
fourteen bucks in your account. It's going to cost you
fourteen dollars to get this food. Are you going, well,
I don't have enough money to tip. I can't do it. No,
you're gonna do it to food. It's curbside? Right? Did
(03:01):
I just shift you? No? I advise him to go
to the store and get food to make it for himself,
to say money, so he could have five dollars left
over and pay nobody and then still have money his
banking out. It's a weird one for me, Tristan, because
I hate to side with you, because I am a
good tipper, because I needed to be tipped throughout my life.
But when I see where his girlfriends coming from, the
(03:22):
curbside is a different thing. It curbs up is never
a thing, really no, And now we'll add restaurants they
have parking for curbside picked up. It's a thing now.
So we just need to make it the norm to
throw a little bone. I would love to make it
culturally a norm. Or maybe right now it isn't. If
you don't have extra dollar, you take him a little
treat or something. Oh boy, now Amy, Now Amy's tipping
him in old UCDs and stuff from the cars ground
(03:45):
of some old change or something. All right, that's what's happening.
It's the good news countdown, counting down the biggest good
news stories across the left. Let's go, we got five
of them for you. Let's hit Little Caesars has now
donated over a million pizzas to healthcare workers across the country,
(04:07):
and Haines is handing out a million face masks to
the homeless. And Little Caesars used to be the jam
Oh so good. I haven't had any in a while,
but if I remember the annoid, yeah, a little guy
was called Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. But if
I get invited to a birthday party and they had
Little Caesars, I thought it was the coolest. An all
girl robotics team at a high school came up with
(04:30):
a new ventilator for hospitals. It's cheap and easy to make.
A normal bit to lator can cost twenty thousand dollars.
This high school robotics team of all girls made one
that costs seven hundred dollars. Wow, isn't that crazy. There's
a charity called Mary's Mills that normally provides food for
kids at school, so they've had to pivot the last
few months. But now they're reaching out and getting just
(04:51):
as many kids they did before, around one point six
million every day around the world. So they've said, okay,
we can't get kids in school, but let's just find
kids that need food right now, not even just during
school time. So they found a way to take this
turn and actually do more for more during this time.
I thought that was pretty cool. An emergency room doctor
(05:12):
from Louisiana got the virus in April, then had a stroke.
He was on a ventilator for thirty nine days but
survived and on Friday finally left the hospital and got
to see his kids and his wife for the first
time in three months. Imagine that you're working in an
emergency room, which, by the way, you got to have
something special and you just to do that. Can you
imagine what comes in there? Not even just COVID times
like gunshot car at times. You know, Yeah, he gets
(05:34):
the virus, then has a stroke and still lives. That
is that is good news. Why and a family in
Ohio couldn't pay their rent after the dad lost his
job because of the pandemic, but it said a kicking
him out. The landlord said hey, stay and here's the
next one hundred bucks to help cover the bills. I
thought that was pretty cool. I'm gonna end on that one,
(05:54):
and that, my friends, is the good news countdown, the
good News count. You know, we started talking about this,
but we held off because I wanted you talking about
it on the show. You know, some people believe in
signs and with you when you see a cardinal, you
think it could be a sign from your mom who's
passed away. Well, yes, it all started with my sister,
(06:17):
though I kind of rolled my eyes at it when
she started seeing the cardinals, several cardinal though. Okay, so
my mom. When my mom had cancer, we took her
into hospice, which ultimately ended up being my sister's bedroom,
and so that's where my mom took her final breath.
And so right outside that window, there's a tree in
(06:38):
my sister's bedroom, and she saw a bird's nest the
week my mom died, with little eggs in it, but
she didn't know what kind of birds they were, so
she was kept watching them and then she saw that
they were cardinals and she kind of just felt like, Okay,
this is interesting. So she googled cardinals and started reading
(07:03):
about them, and they symbolize joy, and my mom with
pimp and joy and choose joy, her motto being joy
all the things joy. During her cancer battle, my sister
thought saw this hatching of new life and then this
she just felt this piece of like, hey, that's Mom
telling me everything's going to be okay, and she sees
(07:26):
cardinals during times. So fast forward to her being at
my house last week. We were having to have some hard,
like a family conversation about some stuff that was hard
and it was heavy and it was important, and I
was just feeling overwhelmed. And she looked outside my window
and a cardinal flies by, and she looks at me
and she says, Mom's here. Everything's going to be fine.
(07:51):
And I rolled my eyes right. So, then a few
days later, I'm sitting in my car parked in a
parking lot revisiting some of this stuff. I'm on the phone,
dealing with some of the family things, and I look
up in a tree and a kid, you not, I
took a picture of it. There's a red cardinal right
in front of me in the tree. And I heard
(08:12):
my sister's voice in my head, clear as day, say
Mom's here. Everything's gonna be fine. And I felt calm,
and I thought, oh great, Now I'm the crazy person
with my sister thinking that my mom is sending red
cardinals to remind us that everything's gonna be fine. I'm
surprised I got through it this telling it just now
without getting choked up because I'm not that person. I don't.
(08:35):
I would, kind of, in a nice way, make fun
of my sister because she's been on this cardinal thing
for years and I have not been there. And now
I feel like I'm there, and I think maybe you
just have to be willing and ready for it or something.
So now am I crazy? I'm gonna say you're not crazy?
Here's why? Okay, why now? Again? I consider myself an
(08:57):
extremely pragmatic person. However, you can't prove it your mom right, No,
but you can't prove it's not your mom's a hold on. Okay,
you're asking me if you're crazy. I know, but I'm
want to clarify just so that people know I don't
think my mom is the bird. Oh, but you can't
prove you're not in the bird. You can't prove. My
point is there are a lot of things in our
life that we have to simply have faith in that
(09:19):
you can't prove on or off. Yes, very true, and
for you to pick a side, if it puts you
in a better place, it's not wrong the end, because
there isn't a way to prove that it is or isn't.
And if it makes you feel better in a sense,
follow me here if I'm going down to the next level.
In a sense, it is your mom. It doesn't actually
(09:41):
have to be her or something that she specifically sent out,
but if it's making you feel better by the thought
of her, that's her presence that has created this feeling
inside of you. In a sense, that is your mom.
Maybe not right from her, but for her to present
this feeling like she had to do it for it
all the way to come back around. I think it's great.
(10:03):
It makes you feel better, go for it. Oh, it
was just crazy how it just it worked for me.
And yes, I do think maybe it is something we
tell ourselves, because I'm sure people see there's certain flowers
or other animals that maybe they feel as though as
a sign from a loved one they've lost. But yeah,
(10:24):
I think as long as it's bringing me comfort, there's
nothing wrong with it. I would never tell you that
you were wrong about that. I actually I would like
I would say, hey, you know the cardinal. I do
see the cardinal. Now, this is what I would say
to myself, right, That's what I would you say. I
would say. I wonder how many times I've seen cardinals.
Didn't realize it because it wasn't top of mind. Oh
I know, I thought, that's not you. I'm not talking
saying that to you, but that that's how I fight
(10:45):
myself off with these things because I need to see things.
I'm a little different than you. I need to see,
in touch and feel a lot of things. I need
to see, numbers, data, I need to see. But that's
how I work. That's not how you work. Well, but
you're no, But you're totally accurate all humans. And like
you blue car, then all of a sudden you see
blue cars and you weren't noticing blue cars. Right, That's
that's proven. I think we all do that. But I've
(11:08):
known about my sister's cardinal thing for years, ever since
it happened, so six years, and I don't I've never
been into it. And the minute she saw the cardinal
fly at my house last week, and then I was
open to her being like, hey, everything's gonna be okay.
I received it. And then the next time I saw
a cardinal, which I don't notice cardinals, and it was
(11:30):
in a moment I literally needed it, like I was
dealing with something in that phone call and I look
up and there's a cardinal in the tree, and I
think you take it as out and then you take it,
you love it, okay, you find comfort in it. Nick,
We're always searching for things to put us in more
stable positions, to make better decisions. Yeah, and I think
(11:50):
that's what happened here. Nobody second guessing it, okay, because
you can't. You're not gonna be right or wrong, so
you might as well to be right, right. I might
as well just see it as a sign that everything
was gonna be okay, because what else is it? Yeah,
it could just be a cardinal. It could You're right,
it absolutely gonna be just me a cardinal. But you
get to choose how you see it. Yeah, you get
(12:11):
to choose how you react to people that treat you
certain ways. You get to choose our life as all
of our little bitty decisions, and that's what ends up
being the big decisions. Yeah. I'm gonna talk about this
family drama now, not right now, All right, cool, all right,
lunchboxes at the cardinal. It sounds so hokey. See see,
(12:34):
I knew it's gonna come off and it's crazy. Yeah,
people are gonna tell you you sound like a lunar tic.
But I mean that's that's okay. I think we all
look for things that make us feel better, and I
think you found something there in that moment. They gave
you peace. I don't think you have to see everything
for everything to be real in general, to be fair,
If you are rolling your eyes at me, I get
it because I was rolling out as like last week.
I know, and that's why I wanted to bring it out,
(12:54):
because you were struggling with it. Yeah. I think there
are a lot of people that are going through this
right now. Yeah, and let me say there's nothing wrong.
What do you feeling Because he can't prove to you
that wasn't your mom sent that or presented that, or
he can't prove it. You're right. But then I want
to say, thank you your mom presenting the cardinals in
my backyard every day. Oh yeah, well she didn't create
all for you telling me to tell you it's gonna
(13:15):
be okay, Okay, guys making fun of me, Tony la
Roussa called said back when he used all right, we're done, um,
all right, Thank you, Amy, thanks for sharing your story.
I think a lot of people really did find yeah,
something in that I've got vulnerable and a few shared
with yall something that I wasn't hating. But don't bring
this to me. Yeah no, I just you know Roussa
(13:39):
used to coach the Cardinals way back in the day. Okay,
all right, it's time for the good news. A pair
of college hockey players set off on a multi state
journey to raise money for the American Cancer Society, and
they did it on rollerblades. These roommates, Andrew Walker and
(14:01):
Jacob Akins, departed from Boston on July thirteenth. They traveled
nearly nine hundred miles to Lansing, Michigan, on rollerblades for
their fundraiser. Holy Moly, the University of Massachusetts Boston teammates
spent ten days rollerblading, keeping their supporters up to date.
That a men in blades Instagram and so far over
twenty seven thousand dollars. Crazy. That's a that is a
(14:22):
long way bad weather. You used to rollerblade if it rained,
I like twice I bought some rollers. Well, I knew
it was a big deal when you got the rollerblades,
we heard about it all. I was excited to go,
but yeah, but when it rained was a harder. Rollerblade.
I mean no, I wouldn't go anywhere. If there was
a puddle, I wouldn't go through it. Okay, one, never mind,
(14:42):
Andrew Walker Jacob akins, that's awesome. That's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good down Sorry. Today, this
story comes to us from Murdock, Florida. A man had noticed. Man,
my car stinks. I need to improve the smell of
I'm gonna go on this day tonight. So what can
I put in here? Ah? Send it candle? So he
(15:04):
lights the candle, puts it on the passengers seat and
he's driving around. He hits the brakes, falls onto the floorboard. No,
there's papers on the floorboards because I've I've done that
thing where you put something in the seat and it
falls over, usually food. It not a candle. That part
of it though a little weird. Dang, what happened with
(15:24):
the car does have any final is it's destroyed? Yeah,
completely destroyed. But he's okay, I'm lunchboxed at your bone head.
Story of the day. Raymundo, our audio producer, is getting
married in October. But he has a baby update that
I think we weren't expecting. Do you know about this
what no Raymundo would like to tell everybody. Yeah, so
(15:47):
it's been a long seven years. We've been trying to
do the engagement, the marriage, squeeze it all in, why
not throwing a kid as well? So we did freeze
the twenty three eggs. The only way for us to
take that next step is for us to get a surrogate.
And we have finally done that. We've got our surrocate.
So I think a lot of listeners maybe yes, why
you would need a surrogate? Yes, So the deal is, Uh,
(16:10):
if my fiance was to try and have a kid
with the frozen eggs, it would risk cancer again. So
she doesn't want to do that. And she just fought
and beat cancer. Correct, she had breast cancer, and so
I guess with the hormones, it's really really bad. So
you have to almost if you want a child, go
to surrogate. Oute. So who came to you and said
they would be your surrogate? Morgan number two? Oh my god, Wow,
(16:33):
maybe that was great because I looked over I saw
her face during this like she almost like knew something.
Go ahead, Ray. So my fiance had a very serious
talk with my sister and she said she's in her thirties,
and she said she'd be more than happy to carry
our kid. Wow wow, yeah, entirely for free. I mean,
(16:57):
obviously I would be indebted to her for life. But
these surrogates are very expensive. My sister said it's a
labor of love, no pun intended, and she would be
the surrogate. How much does surrogates cost? Like thirty thousand
dollars or more or less depending on but I mean,
I would say on average. And then there was also
(17:18):
other people piling on another person in her family. I
don't know if she's comfortable mentioning right now, but she
also said she'd do it for free and your family
and her family okay, that she would carry the child.
And then a listener hit us up on Twitter and
said in California and she would be a surrogate. So
we have three now lined up. Well. The average cost
of surrogacy can range from ninety thousand dollars to one
(17:40):
hundred and thirty thousand dollars, depending on the individual arrangements.
Where did I hear thirty? I guess I was looking
on a cheap site. Uh. Well, but yeah, we trust
my sister. She already has two kids. So, if you
need any more proof, there it is. Does she have
to live down here? Though she probably would. She'd move
here for nine that'd be awesome too, what she lived
with you and you're apart. Yeah, I'd be like, come
(18:01):
on over here, sis, Mama, give me a kiss to
your sister. I'm just kidding around. I don't know my
kid's inside of her. It's like if I wanted to
be close to my kid and listen to her stomach.
I'm literally listening to my sister's stomach. It's kind of weird,
but you just got to laugh it off. I mean,
that's life. You never know what's gonna get thrown at you. Yeah,
you're gonna to kiss her belly and stuff when you
(18:23):
if that, If that's how I need to get closer
to my kid, I will kiss my sister's belly. Would
you watch if it was a vaginal birth? No? Oh,
absolutely not. That's a tough question though. Wow, I'm at
home with a hard hitting stuff. I have the same thought. Um, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Do you think this will happen? Yeah? Would you even
though it's your sister, would you feel like you should
(18:44):
draw a paperwork in case she decides to keep the baby.
I've seen too many movies. No, I have a bond
with my sister that will never be broken. Okay, do
you have enough room in your apartment for all three
of you guys to live. We'll get a house. That'll
be a next year thing. But when you guys planning
on doing this, first the wedding, but then I believe
next year the apartment lease ends in the summertime, so
(19:05):
basing a baby on our apartment league So like how
you're just thinking, yeah, farmer ladies in June, so we
could probably start all right? WHOA wow, wow, wow, you're
excited about that? Oh yeah, honestly, because you guys had
said it was twenty thousand dollars or more, and then
the fact that we have to have a surrogate, it
was kind of worrisome. But my sister I asked her,
(19:27):
I said, were their drinks flowing? And she said no,
it was an honest conversation at brunch, and she said
that she would be more than happy to do that
for us. We congratulations, Bud, thank you, that's awesome. Yeah.
I couldn't have been more happy to hear the news.
Anything you'd let to end this one. No, it's so cool.
I'm happy for you. That's amazing. And maybe you play
baby and baby us out. I will go. I will
in those twenty three eggs. We're coming for you. One
(19:48):
of y'all is going to create a baby. All right,
there you go. The thing that this Jason gibble character
has in common with most of his calls is that
he's always trying to make money. That's right, he's a
business business deals, trying to get that money. Jason Gilbolet's
lunchboxes side character. He's made. Who do you call this time?
I call a memorabilia shop, and I say, I have
celebrity memorabilia I'm trying to sell because of the hard
(20:10):
times with the economy and everything. Okay, here we go,
But hold on, he probably played played after Is it
real memorabilia? No, it's just stuff I've made up. Oh
you're making this stuff out? Yah. I'm making him stuff
to see what I would get for it if he
was really interested. Okay, okay, kay, good afternoon. How may
I help you? Hey, it's Jason Gilblet, business man making
business deals, trying to get that money. How are you good?
(20:32):
How are you? Oh? Good? Man, look, I'm gonna tell
you what. The pandemic is hit, and I am ready
to sell some of my memorabilia, all right. Yea. So
I was at a Carrie Underwood concert, okay, and I
was sitting pretty much front row, and she was chewing
a piece of gum and she spit it. I jumped
over the retaining wall and I got her used piece
of gum. Um. We're a sports memorabilia store. I don't
(20:57):
really think we would take something like that in whoa, Whoa.
She's married to an athlete, so it's basically like that
gum was in her husband's mouth because they make out,
so it probably has some DNA from him. Gotcha. Well,
I don't think that's something we're looking for at the moment.
All right, you're for one? Oh? For one? Now are
(21:18):
you calling somebody else here saying no? The same guy?
I was like, okay, I'll pivot. I got something else
for you. You know who Garth Brooks is, Yeah, okay,
Well he went to you know how he used to
go to spring training with the Padres. Yeah, well I
was there and he hit one and boom, he hit
the ball and it was just a foul ball. But
the bats splintered and guess what I got the splintered piece. Okay,
(21:39):
so I mean, how much is that worth. I don't
know that. I don't have it in front of me
and it's not authenticated. Oh no, no, it's I mean
I got I got the ticket stuff from the game
that I was at, Like you can tell, like it's
a brown bat and it's a brown piece of bat
that I got. I'm I'm thinking like maybe twenty five thousand.
(22:02):
I can't bye, they are not doing. These guys that
going on pond Stars and they're like, listen, limited edition.
This sword was used in the first ever shooting of
Game of Thrones. This is when they were shooting the
pilot and you're gonna love it and collectors are gonna
go wild. He goes, well, let me get my Game
of Thrones expert in here. He calls a Game of
Thrones expert and the guy shows up. It goes, Hi,
I'm Trent. I'm the first foremost Game of Thrones expert.
(22:24):
I'm here to look at this sword and we're we're
gonna see what's happening here. I'm very excited about this.
He opened, and he goes, well, okay, this is fake,
and he goes then he goes, well, look, I can
give you ten dollars for it, and then the guy
just wants to die. But that guy kind of felt like,
all right, nice job, lunch. You're Amy's pile of stories.
(22:44):
If this is gonna sound disgusting, but stay with me
because I'm a big fan of salty sweet. And there's
a new thing that's rice crispy treats with hot dogs
mixed in and then you put like cash and mustard
on top or relish if that's try this, because I
would try it, but it doesn't sound like something I
would like. Well, so there's a website called The Vulgar
(23:06):
Chef and they just release this recipe hot dog rice
crispee Treats, and you make a batch of rice chrispe treats,
but you cut up little hot dogs mixed in and
then yeah, they ketchup and mustard or relishes on top,
and I feel like the combo might work. I'm looking
at it might work. I know when you say it
out loud, it's disgusting, but I'm looking at it looks
like a hot dog like because it's in the middle
(23:27):
like a bun. The rice Chrispy treat is a bun.
Just think about you're eating a hot dog, but the
rice crisis a little sweet bun. Yeah, that's not so crazy,
right when you think about it, full rice crispe tree
with little hot dogs in it, that sounds disgusting. If
you think of the rice ribete, it's just the bun.
It doesn't sound so bad. Interesting, all right? What else?
So if anybody gives it a go, let us know
the taste of country. It came up with the top
(23:49):
country love songs, and this is from like readers and
then their opinion. And I'm just curious if you agree
with some of these. How many do they have there?
We have the top five? Okay, is it's your love
gotta be on therepe Oh it's not, okay, Well I'm stupid.
Go ahead. Then Rascal Flats, Bless the Broken Road, Great One,
Thomas Rhet Die a Happy Man? Are they all knew? No?
(24:11):
See Lone Star, Amazed Classic, Junior High Dance Classic. I
will go on DJ sound on light shows. I'd be like,
all right, kids, and I played this, or I play
Brian mcknights sometimes back to back really get them with
the back to back. Yeah, because kids didn't want a
fast dance. Yeahs again, Junior high. You can play. You
can play all the humpy dance you want it, but
(24:33):
nobody's getting out there or they didn't split up. But
you play a slow dance. And this is why you
do back to back because it take about half a
song for them to actually get the courage to ask
someone to dance. And then while it's playing, you go,
all right, guys, we're gonna do one more. Looks like
you having a great time out there. Boom hit the
second one, and that one they get to fully enjoy.
Got it strategy? All right? And a number two Garth
(24:55):
Brooks off Jamara never comes my man. Number one Keith
Whitley when you say nothing at all? And who covered
this song and also made it a smash um a girl,
Alison Krause. Oh, I was gonna say lean but Alison Krause,
(25:16):
Yeah that's a great one. All right? What else you got?
So there's a new dating term called woke fishing. Are
you familiar? I am? Okay? Well it's pretty much when
someone person pretends to care about social issues to get dates,
like yeah, like they they put it on their their
their profile. Yeah, it's the newest dating term. And yeah,
(25:38):
they pretty much They pretend to be progressive about issues
and care about social things happening because that's what they
think the other person will really care about and will
attract them. And it's so I guess it's kind of
like being catfish, but with political beliefs, woke fishing. If
you need something to lure people, there you go. I'm Amy.
(25:58):
That's my file. That was Amy's Kyle of stories. It's
time for the good news. The story is just super sweet.
Chick fil A did a drive by birthday party for
a ninety year old employee that works at this Texas location.
Her name's Anne Mefford, and she had to take six
(26:20):
weeks off to stay at home because she's high risk
from coronavirus. And so when her birthday rolled around, Chick
Fila employees, customers that knew her, they gathered together and
gave her a parade. Here's the clip. She started getting
a little depressed that she didn't think we're gonna be
able to do anything. So we kind of got with
some people, we talked to OPD showed us the fire department,
(26:42):
and we thought, hey, let's do a big fun drive by.
We'll have a little party before. I'm so glad the
simul makes meet. They really love. That's awesome. Yeah, that's great.
That's what it's all about, right there was tell me

the very beginning I thought it was but loose at
the very beginning play. At the beginning, it was like,
you don't hear that? Maybe maybe that's where my brain win.
(28:59):
I was like, like like Shelton's version of foot loose. I
don't know. All right, let's do another one. Yeah, that one? Yeah?

do you get those? Mike? They sound not real? What
nerdy side is? Mike? On to find these games? On
(30:59):
The Bobby Own Show, now, anybody, what's happening? What's up?
You know? I was, let me do a couple of
accolades here for you real quick. One Margarita just became
his twenty fifth number one single. How in the world
do you even play all your biggest songs? You know,
I'm in a little bit of a quandary because I
was one of those artists and I'm like, if I
ever have number ones, I'm gonna play every damn one
(31:22):
of them at my concerts. And I'm like, yeah, twenty five,
probably gonna have to do him Madley. How many songs
in a set list? Though? For you on a normal
like a show night, you know, I think by the
time we're you know, because half the time, you know,
we go on at nine fifteen and week off stage
around eleven or a little after and about it. I mean,
(31:44):
in an hour forty five, which is a pretty lengthy show,
I guess we can get eighteen nineteen songs. You can't
even play all of them. Yeah, it's so yeah, I
mean ixpo if I'm gonna play everyone, But you know
what I mean, it's funny. I mean, there are songs
that you know, there's songs that lend themselves to certain
(32:05):
rooms and environments, and sometimes, you know, you can get
too many mid tempos and stuff like that. So we
like to you know, we like to keep a big
old live FUNU stadium party vibe going on, so sometimes
a few of the lower mid tempos kind of get
lost in the mix. On Friday, record comes out Born Here,
Live Here, Die Here, which, if I'm correct, here at
(32:28):
one point it was coming out already and you said,
let's hold off for a minute. Now it's coming out.
Is this the is this the right dat it's coming out?
Or is this the delayed data's coming out? This is
the delayed dat. I mean we were originally slotted for
the like April twenty fourth, I believe, twenty six, and
you know that was in the heat, that was in
(32:48):
the in the in the heart of really COVID confusion,
let's just call it. And you know, me running around
trying to promote an album or even figuring out how
we would even promote an album. I mean, that was
the that was the furthest thing from our mind. And
and I think we all know where we were at
(33:08):
and we're still you know, we're still a lot of questions,
a lot of confusion going on, but we just felt
like putting the album off was the right move and
so glad we did. I mean it kind of we
got to kind of allowed one Margarity to go have fun,
you know, go be a big old fun summer song
and and and so yeah, here we are. It's funny.
(33:31):
I've had this music for a long time now, personally,
like I've been in my truck listening to this album
for since January February. So now I'm really excited for
the fans to hear the whole, you know, the whole
piece of the you know, the whole, the whole project.
Luke Brian on with us now. The new records off Friday.
It's got a twenty fifth number one. Here's what I
(33:52):
was saying on the show. And I was a little irritated.
I don't know if you could speak on this, but
when they put out the Emmys for Competition show, an
American Idol wasn't nominated, I felt like, I mean, Reckon
Ido was snubbed because we were the first ones to
do pandemic television. We were the first ones, and other
people took what we were doing and made their shows
better based on how we did. Our show, and I
thought we got the shaft your thoughts you know, Um,
(34:13):
now that you said we did get the cheft, it's
it's uh yeah, that's not cool because you know, I mean,
I feel like Lewis and Clark have been I feel
like they have been you know, we we we we've
loved on them and they you know we we So
if we're we're the Lewis and Clark, you know, Bobby,
(34:35):
I'm with you, buddy. Let's up to make this be
known that you know, where's our damn Emmy? Yeah. I
was irritated that we weren't even in the nomination because
everyone now has figured out how to do this stuff
from home, but we were the canary inside the mind.
We had to go in and do it very first,
and we did on such a high level. And when
the Emmy nominations come out, we didn't get crap. Look yeah,
(34:55):
maybe I mean maybe there's there's uh yeah, I mean,
we didn't even win Technical Emmy. Nothing. Okay, you know, Bobby,
we just have to be happy and content that we
got an awesome show with American Eye. All right, I'm
going with that on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, I
(35:18):
saw your height on Google says you're six foot tall.
Now I'm gonna tell you I'm six foot tall and
I stand beside you, and you were taller than six
foot tall. Well, how tall are you barefooted? In underwear?
I am. I think I'm gonna just say six two,
but it might be six one in seven eight, depending
on you know, discrepancies of how my hair do is
(35:40):
that day. You could have just had barefoot. You didn't
have to go with underwear like that actually lends nothing
to your heart. I would be like weight, yeah, depends
on you know. Sometimes the weight of underwear can compress
your spine, and you know, are you having your underwear
that's making you waste so much? Well so now you
then then your point would be your six two. Basically
(36:03):
I'm six two naked, right, let me see? Yeah? I
mean who, yeah, we gotta fix this Google thing. I
don't want I need. Two inches is important? Well, just
so that you know, if I had a guess, you
seem even taller than six two, So you have that
going for you for sure. Well, what's interesting is when
you see me, I have a cowboy boot tone, which
(36:25):
give you about two more inches. So I am you know,
I feel like I'm I'm I'm rolling around at about
six four. So six four sounds like it's like getting
up there with like Trace Atkins level of of just
you know, just just built ask you know of dope. Man.
(36:46):
You know, John Party was talking to us recently and
he said he's selling the bulldozer. You bottom, how does
that make you feel? Well, here's the deal, um, I
gave John Party a lemon. I mean, it was an
awful gift. It was a I basically I meant, well,
(37:06):
the sentiment was there. I went and found him a bulldozer.
It was in my you know, I have a little
I have a price range of end of tour presence.
I like to pride myself in spending a good bit
of money on end of tour presence. I went and
bought this damn bulldozer. And all I've done is made
(37:27):
John Party a bulldozer mechanic. Now, so he is a
licensed bulldozer mechanics. The fact that he didn't just think
it in a lake instructure and yes, so I am
totally cool. So I also did this. I bought Jason
Aldean an old Bronco and it broke down every second
(37:48):
of the day too. So Jason sold his. So this
isn't the first time I've given a fellow artist just
a piece of crap. So I'm cool with them selling it.
I got two two things for you here. One, we're
gonna talk about the record for a second. This is
the first thing where knocking boots. We know what she
(38:08):
wants tonight. One Margarita, look, I know, Bill me a daddy.
What's the next single? Can you say that yet? Or
doesn't matter? You know what I don't. We are still
talking about it. What's funny about it is one Margharita
is still feeling like, um, it's still feeling like it
needs to still live on the radio a little longer.
And but we're we're talking it out. Um. Um, We've
(38:30):
we've got two or three songs narrowed down. And and
then you know, you start looking at time of year
and how you want to piece together even your songs
you perform next year. So so yeah, we we don't
have a pick. But good but good question. Bobby trying
to be a breaking news alert, just just floating it
(38:51):
out there. You know, Hey, listen, now I'm seeing all
these pictures of you posting fishing pictures. I asked my
next question, hold on, hold on my next question. I'm
glad you're bringing this up because Chuck Wick was in
my house the other day and Chuck's in we're hanging
out halving lunch, and he goes, hey, man, you're fishing
the line. I was like, yeah. He goes, I went
down to Luke's Lake and fish. How many times you've
been down there? I said zero? You know what I mean,
(39:14):
you didn't. You can't be a closet fisherman all of
a sudden, closet come home. No, he feels He's saying that, like,
if you fish, you're just now making it known. So
he would have invited you, but he didn't know you
fished because you were in the closet. I don't know.
I mean, Bobby, our relationship, our relationship has basically been
you like me, recognizing that you're an absolute workaholic. And
(39:38):
so when you start throwing these new hobbies my way,
you know, I need to know about these new hobbies
and then I can help you. I mean, nobody is better.
It's throwing around and diverting from work and creating more
hobbies than me. So yes, I'm ready to let you
capitalize your fishing hobby on some of my fish. Well
(40:00):
this isn't a new hobby, but my girlfriend loves to fish,
so we've been doing it more out together. And all
my point was chuckle, was like, oh, you've been fishing
a lot. Surely you've been to Lukes. And I was
like in inviting me, and Derek's like, yeah, we go
fish when Luke's not even there, and I'm like, what
in the world's happening? Yeah, all right, listen, we've said
it all. Thank you, Luke, Luke Brian, everybody at Luke
(40:22):
Brian on Instagram. Obviously one Mariarita just went number one.
It's just twenty fifth. Ever, eventually his whole concert's gonna
have to to be one big medley so he can play
the new stuff too. He's gonna play like nine all
right for this next story minute, you're gonna hear eleven
number one. That's what all Luke shows are gonna be
because he has so many number ones. All right, Luke Brian,
the records out Friday. Good to see you, Bud, and
I'll see you soon. It's time for the good news.
(40:49):
A couple of weeks ago, this ninety year old woman
was driving in Charleston, South Carolina, when her dog Bell
jumped out the car window and ran away. Couldn't find
Bell anywhere, so her son him posted on Facebook, Hey
my mom lost her dog and here this highway two
thousand dollars reward if you find it. Two weeks later,
nothing and then someone in Miami seized the post. They
(41:12):
found the dog on the highway in Charleston, didn't know
where it blown to, picked it up and drove it
to Miami. Reunited the family with their dog. Also, they
saw it back in South Carolina and they picked up
and it didn't have tags, so they took with them.
They were like, Okay, I guess we'll just save this.
They saw the post. Yep, that's crazy. Family got the
dog back. That's nuts. Yeah, that's nuts. That's what it's
(41:32):
all about. Right there. That was tell me something good.
So I'm having trouble getting hot water to certain parts
of my house. Some sinks toasty, some it just takes
forever to get there. So called this plumber out. He
brings another guy that works with them. They go like
underneath the house, side the house where like a hot
water heater or two there can they come out and
(41:54):
They're like, well, your water's not getting to certain places
of the house at the speed that it needs to get.
And I'm like, okay, how do we fix that. We'll
give us a couple of days. So they came back
and they said, well, we've we took it back, we
thought about it. It's gonna cost you four thousand dollars.
You're gonna need a couple of new water heaters. Oh wow.
And I'm like four thousand dollars. So we call for
a second opinion, and so another guy comes to that.
(42:15):
He goes, oh, yeah, eighty bucks. What oh, you need
to just put a low elbow here and do this
and it fixed problem. I'm like, are you here to
tell me this other company try to give me it
spend four thousand dollars. You didn't tell that other plumber
that beforehand, right, you just let them off. I just
let them go. Look okay, good, Yeah? Why well, because
then if they hear four thousand, then they've just come
(42:37):
in at you know, three thousand, eight hundred. No, no, no,
they didn't know anything else. You have this issue, right,
So he said eighty yeah. All in all, after labor
and everything was like one hundred and fifty bucks hasn't
done it yet. So do you think the first plumbing
company isn't as knowledgeable or b are they trying to
run the numbers a little bit? Or are they right
(43:00):
right and the eighty dollars guys are wrong. It's all
things I have to factor in. Can you get a
third opinion? You can? But I have to pay these
service feast roovle to come out. I know, but I
feel like for a four thousand dollars expense or something
being done right the first time, it might be worth
it because that's such a big difference. Yeah, not even close.
It wasn't even like you need the same but we
(43:21):
found a cheaper version. They're like, oh, you just need
to do this, And so I think what I'm going
to do is have that second guy do what he
says he can do, see if it works. Yeah, I
just can't get what. I was taking a shower the
other day, just add on my water problems, and water
started coming out from underneath my shower onto the ground,
and I'm like what, And so I've got towels everywhere.
My dog thinks I'm playing with him. He's jumping all
(43:43):
over the place. That water if it gets into a floor.
Oh yeah, it's not good nightmare all right. It is
all your home stuff done, not everything, but most of it.
And I'm meeting some neighbors. I met some new ones
and learn there's some kids on the street. Oh that's
(44:04):
good because I want my kids to have some made
to play with. And I hadn't I hadn't been seeing
any kids. But I think because of COVID, people are
just not as out in about or something. And suddenly
they just started to emerge and they were like multiplying,
and I was like, yes, with the sun, the kids
came out. So hopefully my kids will have some other
(44:24):
kids to play with me. Lunch box. I was thinking
about you today because I read this guy's planned to
win the lottery. Oh, I want to hear it well,
and mirrored a bit of what you used to do,
because you had a theory if you went to smaller
gas stations and you bought scratch offs or lottery tickets,
that you had a better chance of winning. Yeah. If
you always watch the news, it's always small towns that
(44:44):
have the big winners. It's never Oh, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, there's
a five hundred million dollars winner. It's like Patuca, Kentucky. Oh,
that's where I'm going, So I would drive to the outskirts. Well,
Paduca is a real town in Kentucky. Well, I'm saying,
but it's a smaller town. Yeah, yeah, I didn't. We
didn't know where put come last. So, okay, what do
you think happened here? I'll read you the first part
(45:05):
of the story. A guy visited forty stores because he
was looking for the one remaining five million dollars scratch
off prize. This guy from North Carolina. He went on
the hunt for the final top prize in a scratch
off lottery game. He visited about forty different stores, and
he would go in and buy as many of the
twenty dollars tickets as he could find. Now, did he
(45:29):
lose over fifteen thousand dollars while trying this technique? Or
did he win the five million dollars by finding the
single ticket? What do you think twenty bucks to stop
forty different gases? Did he lose over fifteen thousand dollars
and didn't find it? Or did he win the five million?
This is easy. This is all about math, and he
(45:50):
sounds like a smart dude, so he did the math.
He did the calculations. He won five million dollars. Oh
my gosh, I'm so jealous that I need to write
this play down. It is awesome. He says this before
I tell you what really happened. I went to about
forty different stores, and I bought every single last Mega
Cash ticket I could find. Amy. Well, see though, so
(46:11):
I understand his logic there, but he has to bang
on the fact that he's taking time to drive around
to each store and those that those tickets are being
bought as he's at another store, it could be being
bought at the other store. Wow. Wow, I guess maybe
he won just because that would make it this a
cool story. He won five million dollars. So which ticket
(46:35):
was it? Does? He say? It had a real good
feeling it was going to be in the western part
of the state. I went to about forty different stores.
His gamble paid off when he went to the Stop
and Go on US seventy. I scanned it with my
phone and it told me to go see a retailer.
So I scratched it off. When I scratched it off,
I couldn't believe that. I started shaking, and then I
cried He took the option of accepting his prize as
a three million dollar lump sum, which you after taxes
(46:57):
two million, one hundred twenty two, five hundred six dollars.
But he got online to see how many were left.
He found saw them was one, so he went driving
for him. Jean, I mean, look at that guy. I mean,
I wonder what gave him the feeling. It was in
the West. I just you know other ones came from
the East. Well, it gives you the feeling of anything. Yeah,
feelings just happened. Wow, Wow, that's crazy. Storial All right,
(47:23):
on the phone right now is Brittany. Brittany where do
you live? Him? Love it down there, Britney. What do
you do for a living? Um? Well, I am a
brand new stay at home mom. But right before that
I worked with the Red Crush. Well how brand new? Wow?
Congratulations look at you. Thank yeah, Demic baby, it's been fun.
(47:45):
All right. So you're gonna play music trivia against a
musician and it's Adam Hambrooke. He won last week, so
he's back this week. We're gonna change it up a
little bit from last week. So what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna give Britney five questions. I'm gonna come
back and give out on five questions and we'll Sue's
got the better score. Okay, you won't get the same ones. Brittany,
Are you ready? You're at first? I guess so, all right.
Music trivia question number one. What pop singer is known
(48:09):
as the material girl? Correct? Nice? Were you born in
the eighties or nineties? Brittany? I was born in the nineties. Okay?
Number two? Which band had a huge international hit album
in two thousand and two with the record A Rush
of Blood to the Head the band I do not
(48:31):
know this. You gotta take a guess, though, Brittany. You
don't want to let some just fly away? What band
had a record in two thousand and two, Massive called
a Russia Blood of the Head, Massive two thousand and two.
I'm gonna guess like a medallist, like bands A Grateful Dead.
It sounds aggressive at least it was a guess. The
answer was cold Play. Oh They're not that aggressive? Okay. Yeah.
(48:56):
That album was the album that I listened to go
to sleep for about two years. I loved it, but
it was always mind in my alright. Next up, the
song Independence Day was a big hit for what female
country artist? The song in nice No You're good, She's
got two right back on track Brittany, who sings the
(49:17):
theme song to the TV show Friends. Oh my gosh,
I don't know what band sings the teeth, So no
one told Julye was gonna be this way? Cup cut
cut cut, Yeah, don't. I don't even know. I'm gonna
guess the nice guy the nice guys. Yeah, it's the
(49:39):
rem Brand. I bet they were pretty nice, but that's
not the name of the band. Finally, before going solo,
this is older Phil Collins was the drummer and singer
and what band. Oh, to be fair, he was the drummer.
They had another lead singer. He left. He's like, well,
(50:00):
I guess I'll sing. He left and went solo, became huge,
and then went back to the band again. After that,
Phil Collins, I'm gonna get suns and roses. Incorrect it
it's Genesis. Do you know any Phil Collins music at all? Um?
I feel like there might be like a Disney song,
but he does. Yeah, Oh my gosh. Yeah, he went
so hard, went so hard that the Disney song was
(50:24):
You'll be in My Heart. Phil Collins went hard and
you may know the uh I can feel it coming
