Speaker 1 (00:10):
Alas morning. Yeah, I'd love to hear it. Welcome to
Thursday Show. I am good. Yeah, all right, let's go
first over to Eddie. He calls himself a basketball coach,
but this season most of his games aren't even close.
Here he is ready, everybody, guys, I have a huge conflict.
(00:31):
So on Sunday coming up, the Dallas Cowboys, my favorite
football team in the whole wide world. They're playing a
playoff game against San Francisco forty nine ers. I cannot wait.
This is huge. But it's also my son's birthday. He's
not a huge Cowboys fan. He says he wants to
go to dinner, probably around the time the game is.
He wants to go to a movie. It's his day.
(00:52):
I get it. He's gonna turn fifteen years old. It's
a big deal. But guys, this is once in a lifetime.
Is he open negotiation? Meaning? Could you make his birthday
even better if you did it to day before and
some on Sunday? Like, could you spread his birthday out
do even more? If he didn't take up that evening?
I think I can. I just have to play my cards, right,
I have to kind of word it right. I have
(01:13):
to maybe bribe him real big on Saturday. Yeah, that's
the bribe, is that. Hey, I and your son's very smart,
very smart. I would say, you know, the Cowboys are
playing Sunday night. It's your birthday. Now, do you want
to have a all day Saturday affair, multiple things, and
then do some stuff on Sunday as well for your
birthday and then we watch the game. Or do you
(01:33):
want to just do something stupid on Sunday night? Stupid? Yeah,
that's not a bad idea. I do think if I
were him, though, and it was my birthday, I would
take more if it were Saturday and early Sunday than
just Sunday. Hey, maybe a little bit of Friday. Now
we're talking. Come on now, don't negotia get yourself though,
don't there unless he said that, and I think you
tell him, hey, I'm going to send your friends in
(01:54):
you out to dinner in a movie. That way, you're
he feels like he's stay smart for that and I
want to spend time with because he but but I
think he will like and understand. Okay, that's offered me
a deal here, Okay, way better and he still gets
through something on his birthday Sunday day and then you
can do something Sunday evening while you watch the game.
We can also have Cowboys cake. I love it. You
just have to really make it worth. Let me write
(02:17):
it out, rehearsed a few times, and I'm gonna try it.
That's a problem. Don't rehearse it. What do you mean
talk to him like an adult? Oh? Not, like, hey, son,
come over here. I have this idea. But I think
he'll take it. He's smart kid. I'd take it all right,
all right, Thank you. Eddie always with the most outrageous
things to say. And some listeners wish he'd go away.
It's lunchbox, everybody. I got some devastating news the other day, guys.
(02:43):
I mean it hit me, shook me in the core,
like made me cry a little bit, tear up in
my eyes. I went to go visit my fellow cast
members of Bat Out of Hell Las Vegas. You went
over there when you went to Vegas? Yeah, like to
the theater? Yeah, because I was like, hey man, i'm here,
might as well go say hello? Did you tell anybody
and Sam coming? Or just walk over? No? I just
walked over. I thought, Oh surprise, I'm here. I thought
(03:04):
you'd find did you think you'd get in? Well, yeah,
they know me, they all know me. He was okay.
I just would never think doing a one time stint
with no words people would remember, or that I'll be
getting in the way. That's me. I always feel like
I'm putting people out. But anyway, you know, they were
all you know, they talked to me before and after,
and they tweeted me and on Instagram. So I went
over there to say hello, see how things were going.
(03:26):
Guy's bad Out of Hell's been canceled. The show's been pulled.
Did you know that, Eddie? Yeah, I mean I saw
the posters after the fact. It was like done, they canceled, done, done,
no longer, no more show is it because it ran
its course and did so many sold out shows and
made so much money they possibly couldn't make any more money. No,
no, no no. I went and there was and they told
(03:48):
me it was no longer there. And so then I
did some research and it got pulled that there's a
short run, one of the shortest in Vegas history. Oh god,
it is terrible. Las Vegas is bad at a hill
closing citing financial troubles. Oh yeah, um, and they say,
they say it all went downhill when a homeless guy
(04:09):
got on stage and had no words riding a motorcycle.
Oh so it was an emotional moment. I was like, man,
I felt for my fellow cast members and like my
whole production crew. They lost their jobs though, gosh it
was terrible. I was so. I was like, oh, yeah,
it's hilarious if I drop in, and I just like
meat meat Loaf is that big of an artist to
do a whole production around. I think that's partially the issue.
(04:31):
It's like we're basing it around meat Loaf. I know
one meat Loaf song for real. Yeah, I would do
any thing for love. Other than that, it's like, we're
gonna do it an hour and a half a meat
Loaf songs, couldn't I couldn't tell you the name of
those songs. We are, but I'm sad to hear that
lunch box Yeah, well the one in Europe it is
like three hours long. Oh maybe he's big in Europe.
Maybe they have a siesta. Manus. Just if you guys
(04:54):
could think about me at this time and like, Okay,
I'm sorry, it's a little bit nicer because I'm emotional.
You are emotional. Yes, okay, lunch Mark, I started to
hear that thank you all good? Yeah, okay, she does
the every day she does the pile, and some say
she has the best style here she is Amy. Maybe
what could be therapeutic for Lunchbox would be to write
(05:15):
down what he's feeling about this and let it go
and either flush it down the toilet or burn it
in his fireplace, because that's what I've been doing, the
things I need to surrender and let go up. Although
I will say fire is more therapeutic because last week
I flush something felt good, didn't know it could feel
better until this week I burned it. Will you flush
(05:37):
things down the toilet? Well, you make sure you rip
it up. So wait, if you have like an issue
or a sadness or even a fear something, write it down.
You write it out can be very therapeutic. What for
you It might just be a few words, or it
could be a whole pages and pages of stuff and
then you just surrender it. You let it go because
(06:00):
you don't want it to have or to control you
in a way. So if I write down I'm scared
of snakes, and then I flush it down the toilet,
I won't be scared of snakes. And I'm not saying that.
It's not that type of fear. Right, It's not like
a practical thing you do to actually make it go away,
but it is when you're in your head about something. Yeah,
it's more of a symbol. Oh so with that though,
(06:20):
like I'm releasing this from myself and then you do it.
I don't know. I think it's cuckoo, but I understand
why it's a thing. Do you feel like it helps? Yeah,
I feel ten out of turn recommend its therapeutic lunch
box is legitimately scared of snakes. So that's not what
I'm talking about. I mean other things, and for you,
for everybody might look different physically, Yeah, she said fear.
So I just when I heard that, I thought, okay,
(06:41):
I can write this down and I worry about clogging
the toilet. Okay, Well, she said, you're writing down paper,
you should probably burn it. But I said, if you
do toilet, make sure it's just like one thing and
you rip it up a lot, or maybe write it
on toilet paper and plush. That's tough. Thought does not
alight from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a coach on NBA two. Okay,
and on the headset. It's crazy what people say, Bobby Bones.
(07:05):
I gonna tell you. Ever see those posts like I
was today years old when I learned this. Yeah, and
all those are mostly about things that you should have
learned a long time ago, but somehow you missed it
and you just learned it and it's late. I had
one of those yesterday on my Apple TV. It goes,
your charger is low, charger battery and I'm like, I
don't know where do I get a charger battery. I've
(07:25):
never seen that before. I'm a screen So where do
I buy a the remote? The remote battery? Where do
I buy a remote battery? Because it's a little black
Apple remote right with a little circle that oh everybody
guy's Apple TV remote. Okay, may not be describing it perfect,
but Apple TV got a remote, a little black thing.
It's got the two buttons and the one big one
on top. Do you ever have it say it's running dead? No? Yeah, yes, okay,
(07:49):
no idea. You plug it into the phone charger. That's
how charges back up. Yeah, I'm aware of this, but
because also that's that's the only way I've been able
to use it. But how has it been getting charged
in your house? I think kaylin Is Smarten knows on
the charger. You've just never encountered it. Never, I've never
seen that before. And I popped up while I'm watching
Dark and I was like, the remote's gonna die. We
(08:11):
need to order a new remote. And she laughed, thought
I was kidding, And I was like, what or is
there a new battery? Because those air tags out a
new battery in it, they'll watch battery and she goes, no,
Look she grabs it, shows me the bottom of it.
She goes, you just charge it. Oh wow, Yeah, I
didn't know that. You didn't either. No, I wonder how
many other things are done for you guys just by
(08:33):
your wife's no idea that they're even doing well. I
would say, though difference for me I was single at all.
It's thirty nine, so I probably had to learn how
to do most things. Where Eddie has been married what nine?
He got married at age nine? No, I've been married
for seventeen years. She's probably done a lot of stuff
for you. Do you have no idea? Absolutely? I just
didn't do stuff like get more than four forks? Did
(08:53):
you know that underneath the oven. You know that that's
where you store all the cookie sheets and everything that's
actually used for the oven. It's not storage. Yeah, yeah,
I knew that. All my pants are down there, like
everything I've never used. It's like, man, we got some
good warm pants. Man, we bought these at all. I
didn't know that it's time to open up the mail
(09:14):
bag get something. We call hello, Bobby Bones. I heard
you talking recently about how the best time to buy
a TV is right now. I've had my eye on
a new seventy inch TV for months that's over a
thousand bucks, but my wife says we cannot spend that
(09:36):
much money on a TV. I had the idea of
buying the TV from annual Super Bowl party and then
returning it and getting my money back. The store has
a policy that I can return within fifteen days for
a full refund. I'm about to run the idea by
my wife, but I wanted to hear your thoughts first.
How can I get her on board? Signed TV? Terry? Well,
I'm not gonna answer how you can get her on board,
(09:57):
because you shouldn't get her on board. That rule is
not so you can go and borrow a TV for
the super Bowl and then take it back. That's being
dishonest because when you pay for it and you buy it,
you're you could go rent one, but then you have
to pay for that. You don't get your money back.
It's less money. You can go rent a big TV,
do it with integrity, use the TV, have a party,
(10:19):
take it back. But if you buy one, you're telling
them I'm buying this to have I'm paying this money,
and then when you take it back you get all
the money back. So you've got a product and a
service and pay nothing for it. That's being dishonest. So
you should not do that. And secondly, what if you
break it? Oh yeah, they'll probably still take it back though. Honestly,
now I want to do this. I know you don't.
I don't. You can't. You can't do it. You can't
(10:41):
do it, TV Terry. You don't go to your wife lunchbox,
TV Terry, been there, done that. It works great. There's
no need to get the wife on board because you're
gonna take it back. So you show up with your house,
bring the TV in, put it up. She yells at
you and be like, honey, he'll be gone in fifteen days,
no problem, and you take it back, You get your
money back. You have a great super Bowl party of
a great TV. And heck, your wife may see that
(11:03):
TV up there and be like, maybe we should keep that,
So it's a win win. There's no need to go
to your wife. Just go to the store and do
your deal. You don't think it's dishonest, though. There's what
is dishonest about it. You bought it, you try it,
didn't buy it, and you're not buying You didn't buy it,
but you're not trying it that you might keep it.
You're literally what do you say when you return it?
You're literally going to get it to use it and
take it back. Yeah, oh man, you know I just
(11:23):
didn't work out. That's a lie. It didn't work out.
It worked out exactly like you thought it would. Super
Bowl is awesome. Yeah, you watched it. Now you returned it.
It did? Do you ever wear clothes leave tag on?
Take close? I mean I had an alarm clock in college.
It broke. Guess what I did. Went to the store,
bought the exact same alarm clock, got the new one out,
put the old one in, took it back, said hey
it doesn't work. You have my money back. Yeah, that's fraud.
(11:51):
You mean you don't understand it. I mean, but then
you have an alarm clock that works, yes, and I
got my money. You got your money back, So you
basically stole. No, I paid for it, and then I
got the new one, put it on my you know,
bedside table, and put the old one in the box,
took it back and said, hey it doesn't work, got
my money back. And it's sort of like if you
(12:12):
buy but you got a new clock, Yeah, could you
use the other one for a whole lot of time?
You basically stole one way or the other. You and
you just take the broken one and say, hey, this
broke and swamp it out for a new I don't
know if they'd do that, but I didn't know you.
I do know that, like Costco will take anything back,
Like so you can take you can have a TV
for ten years like Eddie did. Okay, I did that.
(12:32):
I did that one time. My idea. It was my
dad's idea. It wasn't mine. What I'm saying. My dad
he saw my old TV and he had just broken.
He's like, you know, Costco has a return policy, Like
did you get it at Costco? Yeah? Like a long
time ago, and we went back. It's like, yeah, I mean,
this thing's not not working. Ten year old tear what
I guess I got there on the top of it,
(12:53):
got a new TV. You know what, they said, go
pick out a new one exactly. So there's nothing wrong
with the TV Terry hold on. But what Eddie did
was according to their policy, even though Gray yeah, Gray,
but but Lunchbox, this is totally different. This is not
part of the policy. Or you can get a TV
use it with the intention of just bringing it back.
People do it all the time. I've done it. I
bought shoes warm. People all the time. I bought shoes warm.
(13:18):
Door wedding took him back. Yeah, yeah, hear you, TV Terry.
I say, you don't do that, Amy, No, Eddie, don't
do it, man, it's wrong lunchbox TV Terry do it. Man. No,
if I was your wife, I would be so unattracted
to you if that's who how you chose to do it.
I don't need her to be attracted to meet her
on the Super Bowl. Okay, she means in general, Okay,
(13:38):
you guys want to email less, you can, Morgan, what's
the email address? Mail bag up Bobby Bones dot com. Okay,
close it up, we got your that was abound to close,
Bobby Ye. So Bobby Bones Show interviews. In case you
didn't know, his name is Chase Beckham. I met him
(13:59):
originally on American Idol, was a mentor on that show
for four years and spent a lot of time with him.
You know, he was living at home, had a really
rough stint in his life. He lost everything. He was
driving a forklift. He had talked about his struggle with
alcohol and playing bars, but had just kind of moved
back home and said, well things aren't going so good,
(14:20):
so see it. Let me see if I can start over.
His mom was like, hey, dude, why don't you go
in audition for American Idol. And he didn't have enough
money to buy a decent guitar, so his family gathered
a bunch of cash. I think it was like seventeen
hundred bucks in donations. They bought him a guitar. He
played that one on the show. He went on the
show and he crushed it. From California's country guy like
(14:44):
to fish and sing, and he's here today. He's really good.
Chase Beckham now here on the Bobby Bones Show on
the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Chase, Chase, how you've been
Buddy good Man, It's good you were coming in and
obviously we know each other, and you'll have to pardon
me for this. I don't ever remember who wins very
idle and I worked on the show. I didn't know.
I was like, I was like, man, Chase should have
(15:05):
really won that show. Then I looked you won the show. Yeah.
That was one of those times where I was like,
the person who should have won it won it. I mean,
I guess that's why I wasn't sure, because usually I'm like, oh, man,
that person was really good. They're going to do really
well after this show. But maybe true. But you yeah, yeah, yeah,
you came into that show and you're just such a
good singer. But where did you cut your teeth? Like
(15:25):
where did you do all of your singing? Um? Well, man,
I really learned how to singing like backyard parties and
like in dive bars and uh, you know, playing party
music and we do covers and reggae music. And where'd
you get your first guitar? Like? How old? And where
I was three? I was three when I got my
first one and three how you play a guitar. Three Well,
(15:45):
I was a big hid so I was playing guitars
at my grandmother's house that were like you know, old
hand me downs that were just way too big. So
she got me this little like classical nylon acoustic guitar.
I still have it when I was about three years old. Yeah,
and uh, that was like my first instrument that I
learned how to play. And was it always music to
(16:06):
you then? Did you do you always feel like that
was at least something you were going to do, even
if it wasn't the only thing you were doing. Um,
I was. I mean, I'm horrible football player, horrible basketball player.
I'm bad at school, you know, just about everything else
that you could, you know, want to be good at.
I'm not. So I tried my look at songwriting and
singing and stuff, but I couldn't sing growing up. You know.
It wasn't like something that was like just I stumbled
(16:30):
upon it and it was like you weren't good. Oh,
it was bad for a while, you know, trying to
learn how to sing, and like, um, I wasn't like
a naturally just like gifted singer. You know. I tried
for a long time to sing in ways that worked
for me, I feel like, and then whenever people were like, oh,
it sounds good, I was like really surprised. So so
does that mean there's still a chance I could be
a good singer. I'm inspired by your story that I
(16:53):
still can do it. I've tried to tell people that,
but then people are like, no, I'm tone deaf, like
it's not possible, and I'm like, well, you know, there's
definitely things that actor into it, but yeah, if you
practice long enough. I think that, like when I did
the vocal coaches on Idol, like that was a nightmare
because they were just like, you're doing it all wrong,
because they're coming from like a traditional classical style of
(17:16):
teaching how to project your voice and how to sing.
And they're like, you know, because I have a raspe
When I sing, it's a lot more raspe than when
I talk, and they're like trying to get me to
pull that off. And but that's just kind of for me.
That was like my natural auto tune. It's like if
I felt like I was off, I'd just rasp it
up a little bit and hopefully it sounded better. Well,
I want everybody to hear you by the way, Chase
Backham's here. Really like this guy. I mean I felt
(17:37):
like you and I kind of hit it off. We'd
definitely have a similarish background. It was, you know, spending
time with you a little bit on idol, but like you,
Chase is like a real dude, real singer, and he
has a song called twenty three and that's the song
you did this did you you perform? This is the
one that blew up. Yeah, I mean it slowly has done.
I couldn't really ever imagine, you know, the amount of
(17:59):
people who got to listen to the song and who've
streamed it. So thank you to everybody you know who's
listened to it. But it wasn't like it wasn't that much.
When I moved to town tour, it was like, yeah,
this is gonna be a radio single. It was like
a few million streams and that was great, and it
did good on like digital charts, so I was excited,
you know, and because nobody had ever heard my music before,
so this was great. But yeah, over time, it's just
(18:21):
I put out new music and I've toured a ton
and just like traveled NonStop and just kind of in
the back. That song has just been like stacking up,
stacking up, and so I went back and looked at
it at one point and I was like, oh my god,
where do all these streams come from? Like night and day?
So yeah, it ended up now it's the song that
we're coming to radio with just because of just the
(18:42):
audience basically kind of telling us that that's, you know,
what they wanted to hear. So yeah, it was fun
to get to perform it and I got to win
with that song and something that I wrote on my
couch when I was, you know, twenty three years old,
twenty six now, So how long had I could write
that song? Not long at all. It's not Yeah, it's
very what's the word whenever something's not typical or it's
(19:05):
very unorthodox, that's the word. That's a good word to box.
It's it's not something you know, lunchbox here like four
times to day now that he's keep choosing it over
and over again. Yeah, unorthodox in what way? Structurally? Structurally? Yeah,
I think the way that I wrote it, Even when
we recorded it, they're like, oh, it should end right here,
and I was like, no, it needs to go on
a little bit longer. And I think it was kind
of just like out of the box. You know. It
(19:26):
wasn't something that I put a lot of effort into.
And sometimes that's like the best music comes from that
kind of stuff, is when you just grab something and
run with it. All right, Chase Backham, Here he's gonna
do a song twenty three. Here we go, Chase whenever
you're anybody, Chase back On. Let me ask you about
that song a little bit, because I to write that song,
and it it's coming from personal experience. One you have
(19:49):
to have some self awareness that you're struggling, and then
two you have to like write it and you have
to go, well, I'm gonna put these words down and
then I'm gonna play it for somebody, which is an
extra level of vulnerability. So there's a lot there to
get to the point where you actually recorded and play it.
So why that song in then, and why would you
write that? Yeah, we're kind of we were just talking
(20:12):
about that, and it's it's a funny thing because it was, like,
you know, I was I'd made a ton of mistakes
and burnt so many bridges at the time and was
just definitely headed down a horrible path in my life
and at the time my girlfriend of seven years, you know,
like the songs, was breaking up with me. We lived together,
and she was leaving the house and she had been
(20:34):
gone for a couple of days. I wouldn't stay with
her parents or something like that, and came back to
grab some stuff and was leaving again. And in that
couple of days that she was gone, I was, you know,
sitting on the couch and I think I was just
like super hungover from you know, the binge drinking and
partying and stuff. And I sat down and I wrote
that song, and I kid you not, I wrote it
and maybe like fifteen twenty minutes, just like scribbled down
(20:54):
a bunch of stuff. A lot of the stuff doesn't
really rhyme as much as you know, it's just thoughts really,
And I've been playing that riff for a long time,
you know, I wanted to do something with that real depending. Yeah,
by the way, he's playing guitar himself. Yeah, player with him.
He's playing guitar. So that was something that I've been
playing for a while, and um, I just kind of
(21:15):
put the story of, you know, my reflectiveness. At the time,
it was like looking at the dust settle and everybody
gone and you're just kind of there by yourself, and
it's like, oh, I misscrewed up a little bit, and
you know, how can I fix this? And a song
definitely doesn't fix things right then and there because I
tried and she didn't really care to hear the song
at the time, you know, but you feel performing that
(21:37):
song first, especially at first at first when like, are
you like I'm going to sing the song about me?
And then it's like here I am knowing I'm struggling
and sad and alone. But I don't don't know. I
would just feel like that would be if you haven't
done it a lot, like here my guts look at him.
I think that's what I always tried to do music,
and maybe twenty three it just does that and a
little bit more of a upfront and more blunt way
(21:59):
of and like, hey, this is what it is, you know.
But I think that's kind of what I try to
do with all my music, is right about stuff that
makes you feel, you know, and gives you the feels,
and so the listener hopefully can say, oh, yeah, I'm
that guy in this song, and to me, that's for
the greatest song. I'm like, I'm this guy in this
song right now, and it's like a little movie in
your head when you're driving in your truck listening to music.
You know, that's kind of what music is for me.
(22:21):
So I think it's cool. Chase Beckham's here. We've got
five uncomfortable questions from listeners. Are you ready for them? Oh? Yeah?
Why does Chase spell his name weird? Ask my mama
because it's c h A y Ce. Have you ever
asked her what that's about? She said, she got it
from a book. Do you know which book? A naming book?
(22:44):
I guess my name was supposed to be Mickey. That
was supposed to be my name, and I wanted to
name his son Mickey. Um, so it was like this
conflict of interest and my mom just picked the name
out of a book and that's what it was. Which,
by the way, I'm going from memory here. You have
four Like are they all sisters? Yeah? Yeah, that's right.
I got four sisters. That that's that's a lot. That's
(23:05):
a lot. I mean, there's all women for a lot
of most of my life, so with my mom, my grandma,
but that's a lot of that. And then all their friends.
So you know how to like braid hair because there's
a while I could do that stuff pretty good. I'm
pretty I'm not bad. Yeah, I can braid hair, and
I'm pretty good at all that. You know, all the
Brothers stuff. Yeah, you know. Last job before this, um,
(23:26):
I worked at United Reynolds. I was a driver for UH.
We had equipment, you know that kind of stuff for
construction sites, deliver equipment. Have you ever fished with Luke? Yeah?
Fished with him. Oh, it's a bunch. We fished together
quite a bit. How much did you make winning American Idol? Like,
do they give you a check? Yeah? I mean I
(23:47):
know the answer to this, but you know it's not
They don't give you a million dollars check if everybody
wants to know, No, there's not a million dollars. So
that's there's nine. You get all your money, you know,
doing other stuff and then find finally, what's the story
with John Stamos. Have you met John Stamless? Yeah? I
met John Stamos. Is there I don't know? These are
(24:07):
the listener questions. I thought John Stamos was a really
nice guy, and he gave me this bracelet that I
still have. That's a story for me. My story. That's
a good story for me. Cool man. I mean that's
Uncle Jesse like a bracelet off his own wrist or
he carried. He gave us all one. It was kind
of routine in a sense where he'd like had a
bunch of them, you know, it was handing him out.
But like I kept mine, I still have it. I
(24:28):
would change that story. He only had one his grandma
and said give this to one person that you really
and he gave it to me. I wish it was
that cool, because that's how what I thought it was.
When I was walking away everybody else, I was like, Chase,
I'm rooting for you, man. You actually you know, great singer,
great story that I think a lot of people would
relate to. Like, Yeah, I like you. I don't know
(24:49):
what else to say except you know, just keep pushing along.
You've worked this hard to get to work even harder now. Yeah,
we're still going. I appreciate you, you know, taking the time.
And it's good to see him in and thank you
guys for listening to me. No they put your plugs
in what blah blah blah. All right, Chase, good to
see you, buddy, and hopefully we'll see you really, so
(25:11):
when this song is like killing it, okay, hopefully all
right there he is, chase back him. Everybody, It's time
for the good news. Damario Davis is an Air Force
veteran and he's shopping at Walmart with his son when
he notices there's a customer who's angry and he's got
a knife in his hand. He's threatening other customers and employees.
(25:31):
So Damario, he thinks quick. He sees one of those stanchions,
you know that's that's like separating lanes or whatever. He
grabs the pole. What's it called stanchion? Never heard of that. Yeah,
that's like at the movie theater, you know you walk
through the stansions. Uh huh that's a stanchion. Yeah. Well,
you learn something and you're gonna inspired. So he grabs
that heavy pole and he nails the guy in the
(25:52):
back of the head. The knife falls out. Another customer
grabs the knife. They keep the guy down until cops
show up. Man, they are heroes, and tomorrow here he is.
He's talking about how if you're in this situation, this
is how you do it. If you have the hearten you,
I would I would suggest that just to try to
save lives, you know what I mean. Like I said, um,
law enforcement can't do it all by themselves all the time.
They're not there. If you're a concerned citizen and you
(26:14):
see something happening, I would suggest you probably try to
step up your help. It's a great video. It's awesome.
He's the video of the guy at Guitar Center tackling
the guy no and put him in like a lock,
like a UFC lock as he was saying shoplifting. No.
This guy saved a lot because he had a knife.
But I'm just thinking of the videos that are cool.
There are a couple of them. The guy tries to
steal the Guitar Center and this dude, I don't know
(26:36):
if he has some training. I didn't read the whole article.
I'd just read the headline, watch a video and checked out.
But he jumps on him and like leg wraps him
and holds him. He had some kind of training. There's
another video which we talked about on the show. It
wasn't like Circuit maybe Circuit City doesn't exist. Or best
Buy where they look like they're trying to steal, like
oh yeah, it's best Buy where the whole employees they form.
(26:58):
It's like they're whoa, whoa playing deef. It's like football,
really yeah, and they're like a line but they look
like linebackers. They're like, let's go baby awesome. All the
cameras except for Big Brother watching every movie. That's a
great story, though, Eddie, Yeah, thank you, all right, that's
what it's all about. That was tell me something good.
Dolly Parton's birthday today. Dolly is timeless. I don't think
(27:19):
I would know how old she was unless it was
in front of me, because she seems fifty and ninety
at the same time. Yeah, like she seems like she's
been around forever, but she also has the spunk still
that I'm like, maybe I'm guessing too old. How old
do you think Dolly is? Amy, Oh, man, I know timeless.
Dolly's timeless, right, So I'll go with eighty Eddie seventy
(27:42):
five lunchbox. I talked about this my wife the other
nine and I said, seventy three. She has to be
seventy three years old. She's seventy seven. Ohoh, happy birthday,
Dolly Parton. Dolly Rebecca Parton was born in January nineteenth,
nineteen forty six, in a one room cabin on the
banks of the Little Pigeon River in Pittman Center, Tennessee.
What do you think Dolly's number one streaming song is
(28:03):
of all time? Amy I Will Always Love You. That
comes in at number four from nineteen seventy four. I
Will Always Love You, a song she wrote recorded, did
not know Whitney had recorded it really until she was
driving in her car and heard it come on the radio.
Yeah awesome. She told us that story here on this
show Lunchbox. Dolly's biggest most streaming song. There's only two
(28:24):
options here, and the number one song is Islands in
the Stream. Islands in the Stream Number three nineteen eighty
two with Kenny Rogers also was a pop song, Pick
the wrong It was so big, Eddie. There are two
songs still, Yeah, Dolly's birthday. What is her biggest streaming song? Bones?
I believe it's going to be Let's go Joelene Number
(28:47):
two joel That's crazy you guys did that nineteen seventy four.
Joelene her number one streaming song forever all time nineteen
eighty nine to five. The one on Top five we
didn't get too is here You Come Again? Come So
(29:12):
here are some things we learned about Dolly over the
years and our interviews with her, or top five. Here
at number five, we talked to Dolly and she revealed
to us what she requires on her tour bus. Here
you go. They usually just I just need water or
like fruit, like a fruit plate, like cheese and fruit.
But that's more for people that come in and out.
For myself. I just have mostly what I want on
(29:32):
my bus anyway. At number four, Dolly told us she
will write songs everywhere, and sometimes they'll come to her
in a dream. If I'm taking a bath, I always
got either a little tape recorder or something where none
wonder if we get that lie, And I'll sometimes dream
song really wake up and say you better write it down,
because I used to think i'd remember, but you don't,
so it's best to do, you know, to write it.
(29:53):
Then number three, Dolly told us she doesn't like to fly.
If it's absolutely possible, she travels by bus. I don't
like to fly. I get motion sickness. I don't like
that helpless feeling that I can't get out if I
want to. I traveled by my bus when I can,
and when I do fly, will usually fly private jet.
It's really hard doing commercial anymore. Just of course it's
so such a zoo. I just take my bus any
(30:14):
time I can. Dolly talked about writing Joelene and I
Will Always Love You on the same exact day in
nineteen seventy two. I think I wrote it at the
same time I wrote Joline. It was a good writing day, yeah,
I believe. So it was writing that writing period of
time because I remember all my paperwork and like they
(30:34):
came out pretty close, you know, at the same time.
So everybody said, boll you, what was you taking? That
was a good That was a good writing day. And
this was what I was talking about earlier. So Dolly was,
you know, super popular with I'll Always Love You from
nineteen seventy four, and they had reached out and said, hey,
coquin Us, I Will Always Love you for the movie
The Bodyguard, and she goes yes, but then shared nothing
about it. That was just it. She just said yes
(30:56):
and away they went and then boom. So I sent
it and I hadn't heard anything more about it until
I heard it going driving from my office to my
house in Brentwood. I just heard Whitney saying if I
didn't the acapella part, and it was just it wasn't ringing,
traffic was weird. And it was only when she went
into the course of it that I always lovely, that
(31:17):
I realized what I was listening to. And it was
so overwhelming I almost rent And I have to honestly
say that it's one of the biggest thrills and one
of the most overwhelming feelings I've ever had about anything
in my life. So cool. It's so cool that Dolly
comes in about once a year and we just get
to sit down and do this, and every year we
celebrated birthday by talking about the coolest things about her.
(31:38):
But she it's like her. I can list them one
on one hand, basically Reba Garth maybe just those three
where you meet them and you go, oh, I can't
describe it, but it makes sense. They're massive superstars. Yeah,
obviously have to be talented, but it's how they communicate.
It's how warm they are, it's how coachable they are
(32:01):
while still being a superstar. And Dolly's the best. It's awesome.
It's been super cool to get to know Dolly over
the years. Happy Birthday, Dolly seventy seven. Today, everybody knows
Eddie the Dad, we love him. His kids even sing
the song about Eddie the Dad. But what if a
(32:22):
dad on a moment's notice turns into a hero hero Eddie.
I'm not a hero. But look that's what a hero says.
What a hero says. I'm not a hero. I was
driving home and I saw like a group of kids
and it looked like they had just gotten off the bus.
So it's like a bus stop or whatever, and something
(32:45):
wasn't right, and they're all huddled around something. And the
closer I get I noticed there's a fight going on.
So what do I do. I pull the car over,
I get out. I make a big die honk goodne,
open the door, slam it hey, break it up, break
it up. You jump out to the pile of kids.
Oh yeah, you rest your own safety. As soon as
I said break it up, they all looked, oh my gosh,
and they all scattered like cats. And the two that
(33:07):
were like on the ground wrestling, I was about to
grab the guy that was on top. He was definitely winning,
and he kind of gets up and like, oh, we
gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, and they
all split and it was just me and the one
that was kind of on the ground. He's like, oh man, ma,
thank you, thank you, and then heastern runs off and
like are you good? Are you good? I'm fine. He
runs off, and the guy that was beating him up yells,
we're not done, bro, you just got saved. Oh no,
(33:30):
And I saved his life though, yes, so I'm like, wow,
that was crazy full of adrenaline. But then I started
thinking like did I ruin it for the kid? Like
is now the bully or whoever was winning that fight
gonna find him? Like did he did he get beat up?
Ten minutes after I left, Like I felt like a hero,
Like that moment's life. I think safe kids laugh, and
I like to commend, Wow, stole your car, You jumped
(33:51):
into action. You risk your own safety, which is yeah,
you think about it. It was instanct. Guys, when you're
a dad and you see kids fighting, like you just
do what you do. It was instinct. I just, you know,
felt I had no other adults around. No, It's like
they had just gotten off the bus. They all had
their backpacks on one he was just pounding the other kid.
Oh yeah, like one was definitely winning the fight. Nothing
says like you're an old grumpy man, like breaking up
(34:13):
a kid's fight. You have no relation to these kids.
You let them fight, you let them handle their business.
You don't know what adult you should stop two kids.
You don't know what that kid did to the other kid,
Like maybe he's spit in his face and so the
guy punched him. You breaking it up, Get out of here.
That is none of your business. Drive on by, leave
them alone. Not a hero? No, do I think you're
(34:35):
a hero. Look, man, I just opposite here. I did
what I felt I had to do. I'm not a hero, though, guys,
I'm just a hero. Says though. Look I'm just a
dead You're basically like the guy who landed the plane,
the nineteen year old eighteen year old No, and the Hudson. Oh,
Captain Sully, you're you're the Sully the Bobby Bone show. Wow,
(34:56):
Thank you, thank you guys. Wow. Yeah wow. Have you
guys seen Speaking of jumping into action, have you guys
watched Kai the knife Wielding Hitchhiker on Netflix's Crazy the
Knife Wielding It's not a show, it's a one. It's
a documentary, but it's one. It's a movie. But it's
(35:17):
like an hour. He's real. Yeah he was a meme.
He's a real dude, and you probably would see him
maybe recognize him. But what was happening was I'm just
gonna tell you the very beginning of it because I
don't want to spoil anything. But back in the day
Kai As we got to know him because he was
on Jimmy Kimmell. He was everywhere. He saw a guy
(35:40):
run a car into a dude, pin him up against
like his work truck, and start to call him racial slurs.
So he's got him penned screaming at him. And so Kay,
who's a hit who is like a homeless guy but
like just a young like a I don't even know
the true he's just moving around. Yeah, but this show's
(36:00):
called it Kai the knife folding Hitchhiker. So he's moving
all away across the country. He takes hatchet out and
just starts whacking the guy who pinned the guy with
the car, and he got very famous because of it.
I've never heard of that. That's crazy. You should watch it.
It's good, okay, and it's only a one timer, and
it's basically an episode of any other show that length
an hour hour fifteen. It was one hundred percent on
(36:23):
Rotten Tomatoes. As far as the reviewers and people didn't
give it as high of a score. But I really
enjoyed it. So did he get in trouble for doing
I'm not talking about anything because you need to watch it.
I don't want to. I don't want to say anything,
all right, but he got very famous. Wow. But he
pulled a hatchet out and went to town on a
guy who was driving the car to pin the guy
up against the truck. And its history about famous a
guy who grows. So watch it. It's Kai, the nifolding hitchhiker, Eddie,
(36:45):
you're basically Kai. No, he's not, but he rubs some
kids drama like stay out of it? Do you go
to the middle school playground and make sure no one's
doing anything? Lee Malone? Maybe you want to patrol it though?
Today just to see tomorrow, actress Anna Kendrick is on
the show, and then Monday, Hardy we'll be performing here
(37:08):
on the show. We got a couple of good days.
I tried to get them to coming together, but they
didn't know each other, so it didn't work. They were like,
who is that? Anna Kendrick tomorrow, Hardy Friday. A voicemail
now from Kem in Virginia. Hi, Bobby Bone Show, I
have a morning corny for Amy. And my favorite joke ever,
(37:29):
what do you call a sleepwalking nun? A Roman Catholic
laffy taffy joke? There, man, laffy Taffy's talk about a
trip down memory lane. I used to buy those things.
I didn't really care about the jokes as much. I
loved a laffy taffy. Yeah, they are good because they
lasted a long time. Yeah, and I loved taffy. I
(37:50):
don't know, I love, I love like you go in.
They're like homemade taffy. I don't know what home it
came from. It's always good because you feel like a
grandma made it somebody like Yeah, I don't even like saltwater.
But Amy's pile of stories, Bobby. Have you seen online,
especially on TikTok, when people slice of a potato, put
(38:12):
it in the bottom of their sock, put their sock on,
and go to sleep. Yeah, and I think Morgan did
this too, Yeah you did. It was onions. Okay, So
I think people are just grabbing random vegetables to make
tiktoks and if apparently it either sucks stuff out of
your foot or toxins, Okay, there is no way this works. Well.
People are swearing that they've tried all these other things
(38:33):
but a remedy for their illness like flu or whatever.
Was the potato in the socks, Lunchbox, when your hangy
banging was hurting in the back of your throat. What
fruit did you put in your body? On? Nothing, I
put a steroid shot in some antibotic or what vegetable
or whatever. Yeah, I did not do any of this potato,
onions or tomatoes in my sock. I do think Lunchbox
(38:55):
has launched, well, Lunchbox and Eddie together because they brought
this to me for different reasons. The Hangybangy is kind
of now the official name of that thing in your throat.
Lunchbox has called it that his whole life, and Eddie
told me the night before we talked about it, Lunchbox
keep calling this thing that hangy bang you we gotta
talk about it on the show. And Eddie was so
mad about it, but you were so mad. You were
angry at him because you thought he was stupid for
questioning that it's medical real term was hangybangy. You were
(39:19):
both mad at each other. That's now we're all calling
it's the hang banging. It is. It is the hangy banging,
for sure. But I don't believe the potato in the
sock thing works. You would be correct because experts are
having to come out of the woodworks to be like, hey,
it's discoloring because you've sliced it and then it's exposed
to air and then your body heat and it causes
enzymatic browning. There was somebody used to come to the door.
(39:42):
I mean it's probably when I was, right before I
left Austin one. I used to answered the door and
not worried about getting murdered. And so yeah, hello, hey,
I got a special story of the ore vacum cleaner.
I'd like to show you. I know, single, and I
was very clean time a little less now OCD about
(40:02):
cleanliness because the dogs have two dogs now, and I
was like, this one's different. It goes oh absolutely, it's
water powered. It's state of the bed, A bit of
a bit. Come on in, invite it him into my
house like an idiot. He know, it's like a big tub,
like a bucket tub. And there's a hose that comes
out and he's like, okay, check this water. Pours the
water in from the sink, it's clear clean, puts it in.
(40:22):
He goes, watch this pulls the water out. Water's dirty.
And he's like, look how much dirt that I was
able to get from your house? Because do you it's
a pretty clean house. Do you generally feel like it's
clean here? Absolutely? I do. WHOA not so much, my sir,
And I'm like, wow, so I bought the day dang thing.
I never got the water that dirty. Again. I don't
know how I was had, but it feels like that
(40:44):
potato because I would go one of my friends, I
remember who it was. One of my friends came out.
I was like, watch how dirty this is? I said,
looks clean here, it doesn't it? Yeah? Watch now look
at the water pulled up. You're still clean. You can drink.
You couldn't do the magic trink. It's terrible. I get suckered.
I don't even know how that. But the potatoes, same thing.
There's something. It's not the toxins. It's obviously the air.
(41:05):
And if you leave a potato, even not on your foot,
it gets dirty looking. Yes, yes, okay, go ahead, all right.
So Bobby, let's say you're quitting a job. Do you
give two weeks notice? What notice? Yes, you're supposed to.
Here's my problem. I've always had a problem with two
weeks notice, because if you're leaving because of something that
you feel is toxic, you should just be able to leave, right.
(41:29):
And maybe this it affects any sort of severance or not.
Some job to have it, some don't. But why if
I'm not in a place it's good for me, do
I have to give them notice? I don't they give
me notice. Sometimes they're gonna fire me in two weeks.
Oh that's a good one. I'm just saying it's not
all equal. So I've always had a problem with a
generic two weeks notice. Now, if you enjoyed it and
you need the recommendation, or maybe not even enjoyed it,
if you feel like I really need this person did
(41:50):
not say I sucked in my next job, there's a
reason to hang around if they need the help. Now,
if I were firing somebody, let's say today, I was
gonna pull them office and fire, it would never happen
in a million years. A pleasure. The best I would go, Hey,
we're gonna have to let you go, but today's your
last day, even though we're gonna pay you out, because
I don't want you. Who knows what you're up to,
especially you, you know what Shad I mean, I don't know,
(42:13):
but I just wouldn't want somebody here for two weeks either, right, Well, listen,
when I quit my job, like I don't know, sixteen
seventeen years ago, to join this show, I went in
and sat down handed an official resignation letter. I worked
for two more weeks. And that's great because you had
a wonderful relationship with them and you felt like, you
know what. I respect them, it's been a great job.
(42:33):
I'll give them two weeks to find somebody else. But
if it sucks, no way, I'm out. Well I bring
that up because that's what's trending, is the no two
weeks notice based on that thinking of like, hey, when
you get fired, you're kind of out. Give me two weeks.
You're gonna fire me. Let me know, hey, Eddie, two weeks.
I'm gonna clim off. If I get fired two weeks,
here's your two weeks notice. That would be terrible. It
would be terrible. Two weeks ago, try to find a job, right.
(42:55):
It isn't fair. It's almost like when college athletes couldn't leave,
but coach could. Coach could just go take another job,
but college athletes couldn't leave it at all. And you're like, wait,
that ain't they can't. I didn't think it was only
because of old standards that were created a long time ago.
All right, what else? Someone ranked the twenty five best
(43:16):
country debut singles of all times, So that means an
artist this is the first song they've ever put out
into the world and boom, smash, hit good. So I
don't know the top of the list, but it's my
church from Marion Morris on there. I am only looking
at the top ten and it's not in there. Wow.
That song was not a number one for her, but man,
so good. It was like a jam, not a canniball.
(43:38):
Oh what's that one called wrecking Ball? That was a
wrecking ball for her and everybody. It was like here
she is, boom, It was awesome, all right? Five Go Thanky,
Breaky heartall Billy Ray Cyrus. I guess I was too young.
I do remember the song. I remember being on pop radio,
Remember walking onto Parthena's General Store because we use food
stamps there to buy hamburgers. And they had an achy
(44:00):
breaky heart sweater and I remember trying to buy it
with food stamps and she wouldn't let me. Oh. I
was like, come on, I'll give you like five bucks
extra and food stamps, and she would not let me
buy an achy breaky heart like sweater, hoodie or what else?
Brooks and Done brand new Man. That's her first song. Wow,
I had no idea what their first song was. I'm
surprised that their first song was a big old smash. Yeah,
(44:22):
that's back in the day. They some they were kind
of warmly brought in and not just wow, here they
are or what else? Cruise Florida Georgia line. Yeah, that
song was massive before they even signed a record deal.
It so came out of nowhere that they were able
to have a hit and then negotiate a record deal
with a hit gave them a lot of leverage of money.
I remember hearing it because I heard Taylor Swift say
(44:44):
something about it, and so then that's when I checked
it out. I was like, oh, this is so good.
Which speaking of Taylor, she's at number two with Tim McCawl.
You think really good? What's number one? Is it old
or new? Like? What can you give me a decade?
Two thousands? Oh that's not I was like a Johnny
cow Sorry, two thousand and one. None of these are
(45:05):
All of these are in the nineties. Oh, I didn't know.
Nineties two thousands. Chicken Fried Oh, man, that's a good
come on, it's a great answer. That's their first song. Okay,
number one, Chicken Frides at nine, by the way, okay,
and then Mary Morris was at eleven. Okay, number one.
Let me think guy or girl. Guy from the nineties,
(45:27):
give me an um, give me another hint. Hair? Oh, Austin, Yeah,
Blake something great job hair, you got it? Yeah, but
that would have great job. I don't know where. I
(45:48):
can't believe you got that. Yeah, Austin was good. Alston
was a great Austin was really good. But then it
became great as Blake got bigger and it's so clever. Man.
Some beach was good too. Yeah, that's guylight, honey bee.
There that was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for
the good news. Glenn Lake Elementary School to small school
(46:13):
in Minnetonka, Minnesota. It's about five hundred kids there and
they're eight kids that have a wheelchair and they have
a playground that they thought was accessible and inclusive. There
was a ramp, and the ramp doesn't quite work anymore.
But these kids in one specific classroom, teacher Betsy Julian's
fifth grade class, they're like, this playground isn't easy for
a bit to play if you can walk, if you
(46:34):
can run, if you're in a wheelchair. We want the
swings and the merry go round. We want the ramp
to work. So they started raising three hundred thousand bucks.
That was a goal. Well, somebody jumped in it goes
here's two hundred thousand bucks as an anonymous donation. Whoa
anonymous this could be? So we know for a fact
that wasn't Lunchbox because he would never do anything. Yes, So,
but they're still raising one hundred thousand dollars that's their goal,
(46:58):
and so they've set up a go fund me Glenn
lake Pto, so you can go starch that out if
you want to be a part of this. But Glenn
lake PTOs ay, these kids, these fifth graders, try to
raise one hundred thousand bucks to build this playground for
everybody in school, so that everybody can play, which is
I think fantastic, and that they're kids and they're doing it.
That's amazing. That is what it's all about. That was
(47:18):
tell me something good.
Alas morning. Yeah, I'd love to hear it. Welcome to
Thursday Show. I am good. Yeah, all right, let's go
first over to Eddie. He calls himself a basketball coach,
but this season most of his games aren't even close.
Here he is ready, everybody, guys, I have a huge conflict.
(00:31):
So on Sunday coming up, the Dallas Cowboys, my favorite
football team in the whole wide world. They're playing a
playoff game against San Francisco forty nine ers. I cannot wait.
This is huge. But it's also my son's birthday. He's
not a huge Cowboys fan. He says he wants to
go to dinner, probably around the time the game is.
He wants to go to a movie. It's his day.
(00:52):
I get it. He's gonna turn fifteen years old. It's
a big deal. But guys, this is once in a lifetime.
Is he open negotiation? Meaning? Could you make his birthday
even better if you did it to day before and
some on Sunday? Like, could you spread his birthday out
do even more? If he didn't take up that evening?
I think I can. I just have to play my cards, right,
I have to kind of word it right. I have
(01:13):
to maybe bribe him real big on Saturday. Yeah, that's
the bribe, is that. Hey, I and your son's very smart,
very smart. I would say, you know, the Cowboys are
playing Sunday night. It's your birthday. Now, do you want
to have a all day Saturday affair, multiple things, and
then do some stuff on Sunday as well for your
birthday and then we watch the game. Or do you
(01:33):
want to just do something stupid on Sunday night? Stupid? Yeah,
that's not a bad idea. I do think if I
were him, though, and it was my birthday, I would
take more if it were Saturday and early Sunday than
just Sunday. Hey, maybe a little bit of Friday. Now
we're talking. Come on now, don't negotia get yourself though,
don't there unless he said that, and I think you
tell him, hey, I'm going to send your friends in
(01:54):
you out to dinner in a movie. That way, you're
he feels like he's stay smart for that and I
want to spend time with because he but but I
think he will like and understand. Okay, that's offered me
a deal here, Okay, way better and he still gets
through something on his birthday Sunday day and then you
can do something Sunday evening while you watch the game.
We can also have Cowboys cake. I love it. You
just have to really make it worth. Let me write
(02:17):
it out, rehearsed a few times, and I'm gonna try it.
That's a problem. Don't rehearse it. What do you mean
talk to him like an adult? Oh? Not, like, hey, son,
come over here. I have this idea. But I think
he'll take it. He's smart kid. I'd take it all right,
all right, Thank you. Eddie always with the most outrageous
things to say. And some listeners wish he'd go away.
It's lunchbox, everybody. I got some devastating news the other day, guys.
(02:43):
I mean it hit me, shook me in the core,
like made me cry a little bit, tear up in
my eyes. I went to go visit my fellow cast
members of Bat Out of Hell Las Vegas. You went
over there when you went to Vegas? Yeah, like to
the theater? Yeah, because I was like, hey man, i'm here,
might as well go say hello? Did you tell anybody
and Sam coming? Or just walk over? No? I just
walked over. I thought, Oh surprise, I'm here. I thought
(03:04):
you'd find did you think you'd get in? Well, yeah,
they know me, they all know me. He was okay.
I just would never think doing a one time stint
with no words people would remember, or that I'll be
getting in the way. That's me. I always feel like
I'm putting people out. But anyway, you know, they were
all you know, they talked to me before and after,
and they tweeted me and on Instagram. So I went
over there to say hello, see how things were going.
(03:26):
Guy's bad Out of Hell's been canceled. The show's been pulled.
Did you know that, Eddie? Yeah, I mean I saw
the posters after the fact. It was like done, they canceled, done, done,
no longer, no more show is it because it ran
its course and did so many sold out shows and
made so much money they possibly couldn't make any more money. No,
no, no no. I went and there was and they told
(03:48):
me it was no longer there. And so then I
did some research and it got pulled that there's a
short run, one of the shortest in Vegas history. Oh god,
it is terrible. Las Vegas is bad at a hill
closing citing financial troubles. Oh yeah, um, and they say,
they say it all went downhill when a homeless guy
(04:09):
got on stage and had no words riding a motorcycle.
Oh so it was an emotional moment. I was like, man,
I felt for my fellow cast members and like my
whole production crew. They lost their jobs though, gosh it
was terrible. I was so. I was like, oh, yeah,
it's hilarious if I drop in, and I just like
meat meat Loaf is that big of an artist to
do a whole production around. I think that's partially the issue.
(04:31):
It's like we're basing it around meat Loaf. I know
one meat Loaf song for real. Yeah, I would do
any thing for love. Other than that, it's like, we're
gonna do it an hour and a half a meat
Loaf songs, couldn't I couldn't tell you the name of
those songs. We are, but I'm sad to hear that
lunch box Yeah, well the one in Europe it is
like three hours long. Oh maybe he's big in Europe.
Maybe they have a siesta. Manus. Just if you guys
(04:54):
could think about me at this time and like, Okay,
I'm sorry, it's a little bit nicer because I'm emotional.
You are emotional. Yes, okay, lunch Mark, I started to
hear that thank you all good? Yeah, okay, she does
the every day she does the pile, and some say
she has the best style here she is Amy. Maybe
what could be therapeutic for Lunchbox would be to write
(05:15):
down what he's feeling about this and let it go
and either flush it down the toilet or burn it
in his fireplace, because that's what I've been doing, the
things I need to surrender and let go up. Although
I will say fire is more therapeutic because last week
I flush something felt good, didn't know it could feel
better until this week I burned it. Will you flush
(05:37):
things down the toilet? Well, you make sure you rip
it up. So wait, if you have like an issue
or a sadness or even a fear something, write it down.
You write it out can be very therapeutic. What for
you It might just be a few words, or it
could be a whole pages and pages of stuff and
then you just surrender it. You let it go because
(06:00):
you don't want it to have or to control you
in a way. So if I write down I'm scared
of snakes, and then I flush it down the toilet,
I won't be scared of snakes. And I'm not saying that.
It's not that type of fear. Right, It's not like
a practical thing you do to actually make it go away,
but it is when you're in your head about something. Yeah,
it's more of a symbol. Oh so with that though,
(06:20):
like I'm releasing this from myself and then you do it.
I don't know. I think it's cuckoo, but I understand
why it's a thing. Do you feel like it helps? Yeah,
I feel ten out of turn recommend its therapeutic lunch
box is legitimately scared of snakes. So that's not what
I'm talking about. I mean other things, and for you,
for everybody might look different physically, Yeah, she said fear.
So I just when I heard that, I thought, okay,
(06:41):
I can write this down and I worry about clogging
the toilet. Okay, Well, she said, you're writing down paper,
you should probably burn it. But I said, if you
do toilet, make sure it's just like one thing and
you rip it up a lot, or maybe write it
on toilet paper and plush. That's tough. Thought does not
alight from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a coach on NBA two. Okay,
and on the headset. It's crazy what people say, Bobby Bones.
(07:05):
I gonna tell you. Ever see those posts like I
was today years old when I learned this. Yeah, and
all those are mostly about things that you should have
learned a long time ago, but somehow you missed it
and you just learned it and it's late. I had
one of those yesterday on my Apple TV. It goes,
your charger is low, charger battery and I'm like, I
don't know where do I get a charger battery. I've
(07:25):
never seen that before. I'm a screen So where do
I buy a the remote? The remote battery? Where do
I buy a remote battery? Because it's a little black
Apple remote right with a little circle that oh everybody
guy's Apple TV remote. Okay, may not be describing it perfect,
but Apple TV got a remote, a little black thing.
It's got the two buttons and the one big one
on top. Do you ever have it say it's running dead? No? Yeah, yes, okay,
(07:49):
no idea. You plug it into the phone charger. That's
how charges back up. Yeah, I'm aware of this, but
because also that's that's the only way I've been able
to use it. But how has it been getting charged
in your house? I think kaylin Is Smarten knows on
the charger. You've just never encountered it. Never, I've never
seen that before. And I popped up while I'm watching
Dark and I was like, the remote's gonna die. We
(08:11):
need to order a new remote. And she laughed, thought
I was kidding, And I was like, what or is
there a new battery? Because those air tags out a
new battery in it, they'll watch battery and she goes, no,
Look she grabs it, shows me the bottom of it.
She goes, you just charge it. Oh wow, Yeah, I
didn't know that. You didn't either. No, I wonder how
many other things are done for you guys just by
(08:33):
your wife's no idea that they're even doing well. I
would say, though difference for me I was single at all.
It's thirty nine, so I probably had to learn how
to do most things. Where Eddie has been married what nine?
He got married at age nine? No, I've been married
for seventeen years. She's probably done a lot of stuff
for you. Do you have no idea? Absolutely? I just
didn't do stuff like get more than four forks? Did
(08:53):
you know that underneath the oven. You know that that's
where you store all the cookie sheets and everything that's
actually used for the oven. It's not storage. Yeah, yeah,
I knew that. All my pants are down there, like
everything I've never used. It's like, man, we got some
good warm pants. Man, we bought these at all. I
didn't know that it's time to open up the mail
(09:14):
bag get something. We call hello, Bobby Bones. I heard
you talking recently about how the best time to buy
a TV is right now. I've had my eye on
a new seventy inch TV for months that's over a
thousand bucks, but my wife says we cannot spend that
(09:36):
much money on a TV. I had the idea of
buying the TV from annual Super Bowl party and then
returning it and getting my money back. The store has
a policy that I can return within fifteen days for
a full refund. I'm about to run the idea by
my wife, but I wanted to hear your thoughts first.
How can I get her on board? Signed TV? Terry? Well,
I'm not gonna answer how you can get her on board,
(09:57):
because you shouldn't get her on board. That rule is
not so you can go and borrow a TV for
the super Bowl and then take it back. That's being
dishonest because when you pay for it and you buy it,
you're you could go rent one, but then you have
to pay for that. You don't get your money back.
It's less money. You can go rent a big TV,
do it with integrity, use the TV, have a party,
(10:19):
take it back. But if you buy one, you're telling
them I'm buying this to have I'm paying this money,
and then when you take it back you get all
the money back. So you've got a product and a
service and pay nothing for it. That's being dishonest. So
you should not do that. And secondly, what if you
break it? Oh yeah, they'll probably still take it back though. Honestly,
now I want to do this. I know you don't.
I don't. You can't. You can't do it. You can't
(10:41):
do it, TV Terry. You don't go to your wife lunchbox,
TV Terry, been there, done that. It works great. There's
no need to get the wife on board because you're
gonna take it back. So you show up with your house,
bring the TV in, put it up. She yells at
you and be like, honey, he'll be gone in fifteen days,
no problem, and you take it back, You get your
money back. You have a great super Bowl party of
a great TV. And heck, your wife may see that
(11:03):
TV up there and be like, maybe we should keep that,
So it's a win win. There's no need to go
to your wife. Just go to the store and do
your deal. You don't think it's dishonest, though. There's what
is dishonest about it. You bought it, you try it,
didn't buy it, and you're not buying You didn't buy it,
but you're not trying it that you might keep it.
You're literally what do you say when you return it?
You're literally going to get it to use it and
take it back. Yeah, oh man, you know I just
(11:23):
didn't work out. That's a lie. It didn't work out.
It worked out exactly like you thought it would. Super
Bowl is awesome. Yeah, you watched it. Now you returned it.
It did? Do you ever wear clothes leave tag on?
Take close? I mean I had an alarm clock in college.
It broke. Guess what I did. Went to the store,
bought the exact same alarm clock, got the new one out,
put the old one in, took it back, said hey
it doesn't work. You have my money back. Yeah, that's fraud.
(11:51):
You mean you don't understand it. I mean, but then
you have an alarm clock that works, yes, and I
got my money. You got your money back, So you
basically stole. No, I paid for it, and then I
got the new one, put it on my you know,
bedside table, and put the old one in the box,
took it back and said, hey it doesn't work, got
my money back. And it's sort of like if you
(12:12):
buy but you got a new clock, Yeah, could you
use the other one for a whole lot of time?
You basically stole one way or the other. You and
you just take the broken one and say, hey, this
broke and swamp it out for a new I don't
know if they'd do that, but I didn't know you.
I do know that, like Costco will take anything back,
Like so you can take you can have a TV
for ten years like Eddie did. Okay, I did that.
(12:32):
I did that one time. My idea. It was my
dad's idea. It wasn't mine. What I'm saying. My dad
he saw my old TV and he had just broken.
He's like, you know, Costco has a return policy, Like
did you get it at Costco? Yeah? Like a long
time ago, and we went back. It's like, yeah, I mean,
this thing's not not working. Ten year old tear what
I guess I got there on the top of it,
(12:53):
got a new TV. You know what, they said, go
pick out a new one exactly. So there's nothing wrong
with the TV Terry hold on. But what Eddie did
was according to their policy, even though Gray yeah, Gray,
but but Lunchbox, this is totally different. This is not
part of the policy. Or you can get a TV
use it with the intention of just bringing it back.
People do it all the time. I've done it. I
bought shoes warm. People all the time. I bought shoes warm.
(13:18):
Door wedding took him back. Yeah, yeah, hear you, TV Terry.
I say, you don't do that, Amy, No, Eddie, don't
do it, man, it's wrong lunchbox TV Terry do it. Man. No,
if I was your wife, I would be so unattracted
to you if that's who how you chose to do it.
I don't need her to be attracted to meet her
on the Super Bowl. Okay, she means in general, Okay,
(13:38):
you guys want to email less, you can, Morgan, what's
the email address? Mail bag up Bobby Bones dot com. Okay,
close it up, we got your that was abound to close,
Bobby Ye. So Bobby Bones Show interviews. In case you
didn't know, his name is Chase Beckham. I met him
(13:59):
originally on American Idol, was a mentor on that show
for four years and spent a lot of time with him.
You know, he was living at home, had a really
rough stint in his life. He lost everything. He was
driving a forklift. He had talked about his struggle with
alcohol and playing bars, but had just kind of moved
back home and said, well things aren't going so good,
(14:20):
so see it. Let me see if I can start over.
His mom was like, hey, dude, why don't you go
in audition for American Idol. And he didn't have enough
money to buy a decent guitar, so his family gathered
a bunch of cash. I think it was like seventeen
hundred bucks in donations. They bought him a guitar. He
played that one on the show. He went on the
show and he crushed it. From California's country guy like
(14:44):
to fish and sing, and he's here today. He's really good.
Chase Beckham now here on the Bobby Bones Show on
the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Chase, Chase, how you've been
Buddy good Man, It's good you were coming in and
obviously we know each other, and you'll have to pardon
me for this. I don't ever remember who wins very
idle and I worked on the show. I didn't know.
I was like, I was like, man, Chase should have
(15:05):
really won that show. Then I looked you won the show. Yeah.
That was one of those times where I was like,
the person who should have won it won it. I mean,
I guess that's why I wasn't sure, because usually I'm like, oh, man,
that person was really good. They're going to do really
well after this show. But maybe true. But you yeah, yeah, yeah,
you came into that show and you're just such a
good singer. But where did you cut your teeth? Like
(15:25):
where did you do all of your singing? Um? Well, man,
I really learned how to singing like backyard parties and
like in dive bars and uh, you know, playing party
music and we do covers and reggae music. And where'd
you get your first guitar? Like? How old? And where
I was three? I was three when I got my
first one and three how you play a guitar. Three Well,
(15:45):
I was a big hid so I was playing guitars
at my grandmother's house that were like you know, old
hand me downs that were just way too big. So
she got me this little like classical nylon acoustic guitar.
I still have it when I was about three years old. Yeah,
and uh, that was like my first instrument that I
learned how to play. And was it always music to
(16:06):
you then? Did you do you always feel like that
was at least something you were going to do, even
if it wasn't the only thing you were doing. Um,
I was. I mean, I'm horrible football player, horrible basketball player.
I'm bad at school, you know, just about everything else
that you could, you know, want to be good at.
I'm not. So I tried my look at songwriting and
singing and stuff, but I couldn't sing growing up. You know.
It wasn't like something that was like just I stumbled
(16:30):
upon it and it was like you weren't good. Oh,
it was bad for a while, you know, trying to
learn how to sing, and like, um, I wasn't like
a naturally just like gifted singer. You know. I tried
for a long time to sing in ways that worked
for me, I feel like, and then whenever people were like, oh,
it sounds good, I was like really surprised. So so
does that mean there's still a chance I could be
a good singer. I'm inspired by your story that I
(16:53):
still can do it. I've tried to tell people that,
but then people are like, no, I'm tone deaf, like
it's not possible, and I'm like, well, you know, there's
definitely things that actor into it, but yeah, if you
practice long enough. I think that, like when I did
the vocal coaches on Idol, like that was a nightmare
because they were just like, you're doing it all wrong,
because they're coming from like a traditional classical style of
(17:16):
teaching how to project your voice and how to sing.
And they're like, you know, because I have a raspe
When I sing, it's a lot more raspe than when
I talk, and they're like trying to get me to
pull that off. And but that's just kind of for me.
That was like my natural auto tune. It's like if
I felt like I was off, I'd just rasp it
up a little bit and hopefully it sounded better. Well,
I want everybody to hear you by the way, Chase
Backham's here. Really like this guy. I mean I felt
(17:37):
like you and I kind of hit it off. We'd
definitely have a similarish background. It was, you know, spending
time with you a little bit on idol, but like you,
Chase is like a real dude, real singer, and he
has a song called twenty three and that's the song
you did this did you you perform? This is the
one that blew up. Yeah, I mean it slowly has done.
I couldn't really ever imagine, you know, the amount of
(17:59):
people who got to listen to the song and who've
streamed it. So thank you to everybody you know who's
listened to it. But it wasn't like it wasn't that much.
When I moved to town tour, it was like, yeah,
this is gonna be a radio single. It was like
a few million streams and that was great, and it
did good on like digital charts, so I was excited,
you know, and because nobody had ever heard my music before,
so this was great. But yeah, over time, it's just
(18:21):
I put out new music and I've toured a ton
and just like traveled NonStop and just kind of in
the back. That song has just been like stacking up,
stacking up, and so I went back and looked at
it at one point and I was like, oh my god,
where do all these streams come from? Like night and day?
So yeah, it ended up now it's the song that
we're coming to radio with just because of just the
(18:42):
audience basically kind of telling us that that's, you know,
what they wanted to hear. So yeah, it was fun
to get to perform it and I got to win
with that song and something that I wrote on my
couch when I was, you know, twenty three years old,
twenty six now, So how long had I could write
that song? Not long at all. It's not Yeah, it's
very what's the word whenever something's not typical or it's
(19:05):
very unorthodox, that's the word. That's a good word to box.
It's it's not something you know, lunchbox here like four
times to day now that he's keep choosing it over
and over again. Yeah, unorthodox in what way? Structurally? Structurally? Yeah,
I think the way that I wrote it, Even when
we recorded it, they're like, oh, it should end right here,
and I was like, no, it needs to go on
a little bit longer. And I think it was kind
of just like out of the box. You know. It
(19:26):
wasn't something that I put a lot of effort into.
And sometimes that's like the best music comes from that
kind of stuff, is when you just grab something and
run with it. All right, Chase Backham, Here he's gonna
do a song twenty three. Here we go, Chase whenever
you're anybody, Chase back On. Let me ask you about
that song a little bit, because I to write that song,
and it it's coming from personal experience. One you have
(19:49):
to have some self awareness that you're struggling, and then
two you have to like write it and you have
to go, well, I'm gonna put these words down and
then I'm gonna play it for somebody, which is an
extra level of vulnerability. So there's a lot there to
get to the point where you actually recorded and play it.
So why that song in then, and why would you
write that? Yeah, we're kind of we were just talking
(20:12):
about that, and it's it's a funny thing because it was, like,
you know, I was I'd made a ton of mistakes
and burnt so many bridges at the time and was
just definitely headed down a horrible path in my life
and at the time my girlfriend of seven years, you know,
like the songs, was breaking up with me. We lived together,
and she was leaving the house and she had been
(20:34):
gone for a couple of days. I wouldn't stay with
her parents or something like that, and came back to
grab some stuff and was leaving again. And in that
couple of days that she was gone, I was, you know,
sitting on the couch and I think I was just
like super hungover from you know, the binge drinking and
partying and stuff. And I sat down and I wrote
that song, and I kid you not, I wrote it
and maybe like fifteen twenty minutes, just like scribbled down
(20:54):
a bunch of stuff. A lot of the stuff doesn't
really rhyme as much as you know, it's just thoughts really,
And I've been playing that riff for a long time,
you know, I wanted to do something with that real depending. Yeah,
by the way, he's playing guitar himself. Yeah, player with him.
He's playing guitar. So that was something that I've been
playing for a while, and um, I just kind of
(21:15):
put the story of, you know, my reflectiveness. At the time,
it was like looking at the dust settle and everybody
gone and you're just kind of there by yourself, and
it's like, oh, I misscrewed up a little bit, and
you know, how can I fix this? And a song
definitely doesn't fix things right then and there because I
tried and she didn't really care to hear the song
at the time, you know, but you feel performing that
(21:37):
song first, especially at first at first when like, are
you like I'm going to sing the song about me?
And then it's like here I am knowing I'm struggling
and sad and alone. But I don't don't know. I
would just feel like that would be if you haven't
done it a lot, like here my guts look at him.
I think that's what I always tried to do music,
and maybe twenty three it just does that and a
little bit more of a upfront and more blunt way
(21:59):
of and like, hey, this is what it is, you know.
But I think that's kind of what I try to
do with all my music, is right about stuff that
makes you feel, you know, and gives you the feels,
and so the listener hopefully can say, oh, yeah, I'm
that guy in this song, and to me, that's for
the greatest song. I'm like, I'm this guy in this
song right now, and it's like a little movie in
your head when you're driving in your truck listening to music.
You know, that's kind of what music is for me.
(22:21):
So I think it's cool. Chase Beckham's here. We've got
five uncomfortable questions from listeners. Are you ready for them? Oh? Yeah?
Why does Chase spell his name weird? Ask my mama
because it's c h A y Ce. Have you ever
asked her what that's about? She said, she got it
from a book. Do you know which book? A naming book?
(22:44):
I guess my name was supposed to be Mickey. That
was supposed to be my name, and I wanted to
name his son Mickey. Um, so it was like this
conflict of interest and my mom just picked the name
out of a book and that's what it was. Which,
by the way, I'm going from memory here. You have
four Like are they all sisters? Yeah? Yeah, that's right.
I got four sisters. That that's that's a lot. That's
(23:05):
a lot. I mean, there's all women for a lot
of most of my life, so with my mom, my grandma,
but that's a lot of that. And then all their friends.
So you know how to like braid hair because there's
a while I could do that stuff pretty good. I'm
pretty I'm not bad. Yeah, I can braid hair, and
I'm pretty good at all that. You know, all the
Brothers stuff. Yeah, you know. Last job before this, um,
(23:26):
I worked at United Reynolds. I was a driver for UH.
We had equipment, you know that kind of stuff for
construction sites, deliver equipment. Have you ever fished with Luke? Yeah?
Fished with him. Oh, it's a bunch. We fished together
quite a bit. How much did you make winning American Idol? Like,
do they give you a check? Yeah? I mean I
(23:47):
know the answer to this, but you know it's not
They don't give you a million dollars check if everybody
wants to know, No, there's not a million dollars. So
that's there's nine. You get all your money, you know,
doing other stuff and then find finally, what's the story
with John Stamos. Have you met John Stamless? Yeah? I
met John Stamos. Is there I don't know? These are
(24:07):
the listener questions. I thought John Stamos was a really
nice guy, and he gave me this bracelet that I
still have. That's a story for me. My story. That's
a good story for me. Cool man. I mean that's
Uncle Jesse like a bracelet off his own wrist or
he carried. He gave us all one. It was kind
of routine in a sense where he'd like had a
bunch of them, you know, it was handing him out.
But like I kept mine, I still have it. I
(24:28):
would change that story. He only had one his grandma
and said give this to one person that you really
and he gave it to me. I wish it was
that cool, because that's how what I thought it was.
When I was walking away everybody else, I was like, Chase,
I'm rooting for you, man. You actually you know, great singer,
great story that I think a lot of people would
relate to. Like, Yeah, I like you. I don't know
(24:49):
what else to say except you know, just keep pushing along.
You've worked this hard to get to work even harder now. Yeah,
we're still going. I appreciate you, you know, taking the time.
And it's good to see him in and thank you
guys for listening to me. No they put your plugs
in what blah blah blah. All right, Chase, good to
see you, buddy, and hopefully we'll see you really, so
(25:11):
when this song is like killing it, okay, hopefully all
right there he is, chase back him. Everybody, It's time
for the good news. Damario Davis is an Air Force
veteran and he's shopping at Walmart with his son when
he notices there's a customer who's angry and he's got
a knife in his hand. He's threatening other customers and employees.
(25:31):
So Damario, he thinks quick. He sees one of those stanchions,
you know that's that's like separating lanes or whatever. He
grabs the pole. What's it called stanchion? Never heard of that. Yeah,
that's like at the movie theater, you know you walk
through the stansions. Uh huh that's a stanchion. Yeah. Well,
you learn something and you're gonna inspired. So he grabs
that heavy pole and he nails the guy in the
(25:52):
back of the head. The knife falls out. Another customer
grabs the knife. They keep the guy down until cops
show up. Man, they are heroes, and tomorrow here he is.
He's talking about how if you're in this situation, this
is how you do it. If you have the hearten you,
I would I would suggest that just to try to
save lives, you know what I mean. Like I said, um,
law enforcement can't do it all by themselves all the time.
They're not there. If you're a concerned citizen and you
(26:14):
see something happening, I would suggest you probably try to
step up your help. It's a great video. It's awesome.
He's the video of the guy at Guitar Center tackling
the guy no and put him in like a lock,
like a UFC lock as he was saying shoplifting. No.
This guy saved a lot because he had a knife.
But I'm just thinking of the videos that are cool.
There are a couple of them. The guy tries to
steal the Guitar Center and this dude, I don't know
(26:36):
if he has some training. I didn't read the whole article.
I'd just read the headline, watch a video and checked out.
But he jumps on him and like leg wraps him
and holds him. He had some kind of training. There's
another video which we talked about on the show. It
wasn't like Circuit maybe Circuit City doesn't exist. Or best
Buy where they look like they're trying to steal, like
oh yeah, it's best Buy where the whole employees they form.
(26:58):
It's like they're whoa, whoa playing deef. It's like football,
really yeah, and they're like a line but they look
like linebackers. They're like, let's go baby awesome. All the
cameras except for Big Brother watching every movie. That's a
great story, though, Eddie, Yeah, thank you, all right, that's
what it's all about. That was tell me something good.
Dolly Parton's birthday today. Dolly is timeless. I don't think
(27:19):
I would know how old she was unless it was
in front of me, because she seems fifty and ninety
at the same time. Yeah, like she seems like she's
been around forever, but she also has the spunk still
that I'm like, maybe I'm guessing too old. How old
do you think Dolly is? Amy, Oh, man, I know timeless.
Dolly's timeless, right, So I'll go with eighty Eddie seventy
(27:42):
five lunchbox. I talked about this my wife the other
nine and I said, seventy three. She has to be
seventy three years old. She's seventy seven. Ohoh, happy birthday,
Dolly Parton. Dolly Rebecca Parton was born in January nineteenth,
nineteen forty six, in a one room cabin on the
banks of the Little Pigeon River in Pittman Center, Tennessee.
What do you think Dolly's number one streaming song is
(28:03):
of all time? Amy I Will Always Love You. That
comes in at number four from nineteen seventy four. I
Will Always Love You, a song she wrote recorded, did
not know Whitney had recorded it really until she was
driving in her car and heard it come on the radio.
Yeah awesome. She told us that story here on this
show Lunchbox. Dolly's biggest most streaming song. There's only two
(28:24):
options here, and the number one song is Islands in
the Stream. Islands in the Stream Number three nineteen eighty
two with Kenny Rogers also was a pop song, Pick
the wrong It was so big, Eddie. There are two
songs still, Yeah, Dolly's birthday. What is her biggest streaming song? Bones?
I believe it's going to be Let's go Joelene Number
(28:47):
two joel That's crazy you guys did that nineteen seventy four.
Joelene her number one streaming song forever all time nineteen
eighty nine to five. The one on Top five we
didn't get too is here You Come Again? Come So
(29:12):
here are some things we learned about Dolly over the
years and our interviews with her, or top five. Here
at number five, we talked to Dolly and she revealed
to us what she requires on her tour bus. Here
you go. They usually just I just need water or
like fruit, like a fruit plate, like cheese and fruit.
But that's more for people that come in and out.
For myself. I just have mostly what I want on
(29:32):
my bus anyway. At number four, Dolly told us she
will write songs everywhere, and sometimes they'll come to her
in a dream. If I'm taking a bath, I always
got either a little tape recorder or something where none
wonder if we get that lie, And I'll sometimes dream
song really wake up and say you better write it down,
because I used to think i'd remember, but you don't,
so it's best to do, you know, to write it.
(29:53):
Then number three, Dolly told us she doesn't like to fly.
If it's absolutely possible, she travels by bus. I don't
like to fly. I get motion sickness. I don't like
that helpless feeling that I can't get out if I
want to. I traveled by my bus when I can,
and when I do fly, will usually fly private jet.
It's really hard doing commercial anymore. Just of course it's
so such a zoo. I just take my bus any
(30:14):
time I can. Dolly talked about writing Joelene and I
Will Always Love You on the same exact day in
nineteen seventy two. I think I wrote it at the
same time I wrote Joline. It was a good writing day, yeah,
I believe. So it was writing that writing period of
time because I remember all my paperwork and like they
(30:34):
came out pretty close, you know, at the same time.
So everybody said, boll you, what was you taking? That
was a good That was a good writing day. And
this was what I was talking about earlier. So Dolly was,
you know, super popular with I'll Always Love You from
nineteen seventy four, and they had reached out and said, hey,
coquin Us, I Will Always Love you for the movie
The Bodyguard, and she goes yes, but then shared nothing
about it. That was just it. She just said yes
(30:56):
and away they went and then boom. So I sent
it and I hadn't heard anything more about it until
I heard it going driving from my office to my
house in Brentwood. I just heard Whitney saying if I
didn't the acapella part, and it was just it wasn't ringing,
traffic was weird. And it was only when she went
into the course of it that I always lovely, that
(31:17):
I realized what I was listening to. And it was
so overwhelming I almost rent And I have to honestly
say that it's one of the biggest thrills and one
of the most overwhelming feelings I've ever had about anything
in my life. So cool. It's so cool that Dolly
comes in about once a year and we just get
to sit down and do this, and every year we
celebrated birthday by talking about the coolest things about her.
(31:38):
But she it's like her. I can list them one
on one hand, basically Reba Garth maybe just those three
where you meet them and you go, oh, I can't
describe it, but it makes sense. They're massive superstars. Yeah,
obviously have to be talented, but it's how they communicate.
It's how warm they are, it's how coachable they are
(32:01):
while still being a superstar. And Dolly's the best. It's awesome.
It's been super cool to get to know Dolly over
the years. Happy Birthday, Dolly seventy seven. Today, everybody knows
Eddie the Dad, we love him. His kids even sing
the song about Eddie the Dad. But what if a
(32:22):
dad on a moment's notice turns into a hero hero Eddie.
I'm not a hero. But look that's what a hero says.
What a hero says. I'm not a hero. I was
driving home and I saw like a group of kids
and it looked like they had just gotten off the bus.
So it's like a bus stop or whatever, and something
(32:45):
wasn't right, and they're all huddled around something. And the
closer I get I noticed there's a fight going on.
So what do I do. I pull the car over,
I get out. I make a big die honk goodne,
open the door, slam it hey, break it up, break
it up. You jump out to the pile of kids.
Oh yeah, you rest your own safety. As soon as
I said break it up, they all looked, oh my gosh,
and they all scattered like cats. And the two that
(33:07):
were like on the ground wrestling, I was about to
grab the guy that was on top. He was definitely winning,
and he kind of gets up and like, oh, we
gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, and they
all split and it was just me and the one
that was kind of on the ground. He's like, oh man, ma,
thank you, thank you, and then heastern runs off and
like are you good? Are you good? I'm fine. He
runs off, and the guy that was beating him up yells,
we're not done, bro, you just got saved. Oh no,
(33:30):
And I saved his life though, yes, so I'm like, wow,
that was crazy full of adrenaline. But then I started
thinking like did I ruin it for the kid? Like
is now the bully or whoever was winning that fight
gonna find him? Like did he did he get beat up?
Ten minutes after I left, Like I felt like a hero,
Like that moment's life. I think safe kids laugh, and
I like to commend, Wow, stole your car, You jumped
(33:51):
into action. You risk your own safety, which is yeah,
you think about it. It was instanct. Guys, when you're
a dad and you see kids fighting, like you just
do what you do. It was instinct. I just, you know,
felt I had no other adults around. No, It's like
they had just gotten off the bus. They all had
their backpacks on one he was just pounding the other kid.
Oh yeah, like one was definitely winning the fight. Nothing
says like you're an old grumpy man, like breaking up
(34:13):
a kid's fight. You have no relation to these kids.
You let them fight, you let them handle their business.
You don't know what adult you should stop two kids.
You don't know what that kid did to the other kid,
Like maybe he's spit in his face and so the
guy punched him. You breaking it up, Get out of here.
That is none of your business. Drive on by, leave
them alone. Not a hero? No, do I think you're
(34:35):
a hero. Look, man, I just opposite here. I did
what I felt I had to do. I'm not a hero, though, guys,
I'm just a hero. Says though. Look I'm just a
dead You're basically like the guy who landed the plane,
the nineteen year old eighteen year old No, and the Hudson. Oh,
Captain Sully, you're you're the Sully the Bobby Bone show. Wow,
(34:56):
Thank you, thank you guys. Wow. Yeah wow. Have you
guys seen Speaking of jumping into action, have you guys
watched Kai the knife Wielding Hitchhiker on Netflix's Crazy the
Knife Wielding It's not a show, it's a one. It's
a documentary, but it's one. It's a movie. But it's
(35:17):
like an hour. He's real. Yeah he was a meme.
He's a real dude, and you probably would see him
maybe recognize him. But what was happening was I'm just
gonna tell you the very beginning of it because I
don't want to spoil anything. But back in the day
Kai As we got to know him because he was
on Jimmy Kimmell. He was everywhere. He saw a guy
(35:40):
run a car into a dude, pin him up against
like his work truck, and start to call him racial slurs.
So he's got him penned screaming at him. And so Kay,
who's a hit who is like a homeless guy but
like just a young like a I don't even know
the true he's just moving around. Yeah, but this show's
(36:00):
called it Kai the knife folding Hitchhiker. So he's moving
all away across the country. He takes hatchet out and
just starts whacking the guy who pinned the guy with
the car, and he got very famous because of it.
I've never heard of that. That's crazy. You should watch it.
It's good, okay, and it's only a one timer, and
it's basically an episode of any other show that length
an hour hour fifteen. It was one hundred percent on
(36:23):
Rotten Tomatoes. As far as the reviewers and people didn't
give it as high of a score. But I really
enjoyed it. So did he get in trouble for doing
I'm not talking about anything because you need to watch it.
I don't want to. I don't want to say anything,
all right, but he got very famous. Wow. But he
pulled a hatchet out and went to town on a
guy who was driving the car to pin the guy
up against the truck. And its history about famous a
guy who grows. So watch it. It's Kai, the nifolding hitchhiker, Eddie,
(36:45):
you're basically Kai. No, he's not, but he rubs some
kids drama like stay out of it? Do you go
to the middle school playground and make sure no one's
doing anything? Lee Malone? Maybe you want to patrol it though?
Today just to see tomorrow, actress Anna Kendrick is on
the show, and then Monday, Hardy we'll be performing here
(37:08):
on the show. We got a couple of good days.
I tried to get them to coming together, but they
didn't know each other, so it didn't work. They were like,
who is that? Anna Kendrick tomorrow, Hardy Friday. A voicemail
now from Kem in Virginia. Hi, Bobby Bone Show, I
have a morning corny for Amy. And my favorite joke ever,
(37:29):
what do you call a sleepwalking nun? A Roman Catholic
laffy taffy joke? There, man, laffy Taffy's talk about a
trip down memory lane. I used to buy those things.
I didn't really care about the jokes as much. I
loved a laffy taffy. Yeah, they are good because they
lasted a long time. Yeah, and I loved taffy. I
(37:50):
don't know, I love, I love like you go in.
They're like homemade taffy. I don't know what home it
came from. It's always good because you feel like a
grandma made it somebody like Yeah, I don't even like saltwater.
But Amy's pile of stories, Bobby. Have you seen online,
especially on TikTok, when people slice of a potato, put
(38:12):
it in the bottom of their sock, put their sock on,
and go to sleep. Yeah, and I think Morgan did
this too, Yeah you did. It was onions. Okay, So
I think people are just grabbing random vegetables to make
tiktoks and if apparently it either sucks stuff out of
your foot or toxins, Okay, there is no way this works. Well.
People are swearing that they've tried all these other things
(38:33):
but a remedy for their illness like flu or whatever.
Was the potato in the socks, Lunchbox, when your hangy
banging was hurting in the back of your throat. What
fruit did you put in your body? On? Nothing, I
put a steroid shot in some antibotic or what vegetable
or whatever. Yeah, I did not do any of this potato,
onions or tomatoes in my sock. I do think Lunchbox
(38:55):
has launched, well, Lunchbox and Eddie together because they brought
this to me for different reasons. The Hangybangy is kind
of now the official name of that thing in your throat.
Lunchbox has called it that his whole life, and Eddie
told me the night before we talked about it, Lunchbox
keep calling this thing that hangy bang you we gotta
talk about it on the show. And Eddie was so
mad about it, but you were so mad. You were
angry at him because you thought he was stupid for
questioning that it's medical real term was hangybangy. You were
(39:19):
both mad at each other. That's now we're all calling
it's the hang banging. It is. It is the hangy banging,
for sure. But I don't believe the potato in the
sock thing works. You would be correct because experts are
having to come out of the woodworks to be like, hey,
it's discoloring because you've sliced it and then it's exposed
to air and then your body heat and it causes
enzymatic browning. There was somebody used to come to the door.
(39:42):
I mean it's probably when I was, right before I
left Austin one. I used to answered the door and
not worried about getting murdered. And so yeah, hello, hey,
I got a special story of the ore vacum cleaner.
I'd like to show you. I know, single, and I
was very clean time a little less now OCD about
(40:02):
cleanliness because the dogs have two dogs now, and I
was like, this one's different. It goes oh absolutely, it's
water powered. It's state of the bed, A bit of
a bit. Come on in, invite it him into my
house like an idiot. He know, it's like a big tub,
like a bucket tub. And there's a hose that comes
out and he's like, okay, check this water. Pours the
water in from the sink, it's clear clean, puts it in.
(40:22):
He goes, watch this pulls the water out. Water's dirty.
And he's like, look how much dirt that I was
able to get from your house? Because do you it's
a pretty clean house. Do you generally feel like it's
clean here? Absolutely? I do. WHOA not so much, my sir,
And I'm like, wow, so I bought the day dang thing.
I never got the water that dirty. Again. I don't
know how I was had, but it feels like that
(40:44):
potato because I would go one of my friends, I
remember who it was. One of my friends came out.
I was like, watch how dirty this is? I said,
looks clean here, it doesn't it? Yeah? Watch now look
at the water pulled up. You're still clean. You can drink.
You couldn't do the magic trink. It's terrible. I get suckered.
I don't even know how that. But the potatoes, same thing.
There's something. It's not the toxins. It's obviously the air.
(41:05):
And if you leave a potato, even not on your foot,
it gets dirty looking. Yes, yes, okay, go ahead, all right.
So Bobby, let's say you're quitting a job. Do you
give two weeks notice? What notice? Yes, you're supposed to.
Here's my problem. I've always had a problem with two
weeks notice, because if you're leaving because of something that
you feel is toxic, you should just be able to leave, right.
(41:29):
And maybe this it affects any sort of severance or not.
Some job to have it, some don't. But why if
I'm not in a place it's good for me, do
I have to give them notice? I don't they give
me notice. Sometimes they're gonna fire me in two weeks.
Oh that's a good one. I'm just saying it's not
all equal. So I've always had a problem with a
generic two weeks notice. Now, if you enjoyed it and
you need the recommendation, or maybe not even enjoyed it,
if you feel like I really need this person did
(41:50):
not say I sucked in my next job, there's a
reason to hang around if they need the help. Now,
if I were firing somebody, let's say today, I was
gonna pull them office and fire, it would never happen
in a million years. A pleasure. The best I would go, Hey,
we're gonna have to let you go, but today's your
last day, even though we're gonna pay you out, because
I don't want you. Who knows what you're up to,
especially you, you know what Shad I mean, I don't know,
(42:13):
but I just wouldn't want somebody here for two weeks either, right, Well, listen,
when I quit my job, like I don't know, sixteen
seventeen years ago, to join this show, I went in
and sat down handed an official resignation letter. I worked
for two more weeks. And that's great because you had
a wonderful relationship with them and you felt like, you
know what. I respect them, it's been a great job.
(42:33):
I'll give them two weeks to find somebody else. But
if it sucks, no way, I'm out. Well I bring
that up because that's what's trending, is the no two
weeks notice based on that thinking of like, hey, when
you get fired, you're kind of out. Give me two weeks.
You're gonna fire me. Let me know, hey, Eddie, two weeks.
I'm gonna clim off. If I get fired two weeks,
here's your two weeks notice. That would be terrible. It
would be terrible. Two weeks ago, try to find a job, right.
(42:55):
It isn't fair. It's almost like when college athletes couldn't leave,
but coach could. Coach could just go take another job,
but college athletes couldn't leave it at all. And you're like, wait,
that ain't they can't. I didn't think it was only
because of old standards that were created a long time ago.
All right, what else? Someone ranked the twenty five best
(43:16):
country debut singles of all times, So that means an
artist this is the first song they've ever put out
into the world and boom, smash, hit good. So I
don't know the top of the list, but it's my
church from Marion Morris on there. I am only looking
at the top ten and it's not in there. Wow.
That song was not a number one for her, but man,
so good. It was like a jam, not a canniball.
(43:38):
Oh what's that one called wrecking Ball? That was a
wrecking ball for her and everybody. It was like here
she is, boom, It was awesome, all right? Five Go Thanky,
Breaky heartall Billy Ray Cyrus. I guess I was too young.
I do remember the song. I remember being on pop radio,
Remember walking onto Parthena's General Store because we use food
stamps there to buy hamburgers. And they had an achy
(44:00):
breaky heart sweater and I remember trying to buy it
with food stamps and she wouldn't let me. Oh. I
was like, come on, I'll give you like five bucks
extra and food stamps, and she would not let me
buy an achy breaky heart like sweater, hoodie or what else?
Brooks and Done brand new Man. That's her first song. Wow,
I had no idea what their first song was. I'm
surprised that their first song was a big old smash. Yeah,
(44:22):
that's back in the day. They some they were kind
of warmly brought in and not just wow, here they
are or what else? Cruise Florida Georgia line. Yeah, that
song was massive before they even signed a record deal.
It so came out of nowhere that they were able
to have a hit and then negotiate a record deal
with a hit gave them a lot of leverage of money.
I remember hearing it because I heard Taylor Swift say
(44:44):
something about it, and so then that's when I checked
it out. I was like, oh, this is so good.
Which speaking of Taylor, she's at number two with Tim McCawl.
You think really good? What's number one? Is it old
or new? Like? What can you give me a decade?
Two thousands? Oh that's not I was like a Johnny
cow Sorry, two thousand and one. None of these are
(45:05):
All of these are in the nineties. Oh, I didn't know.
Nineties two thousands. Chicken Fried Oh, man, that's a good
come on, it's a great answer. That's their first song. Okay,
number one, Chicken Frides at nine, by the way, okay,
and then Mary Morris was at eleven. Okay, number one.
Let me think guy or girl. Guy from the nineties,
(45:27):
give me an um, give me another hint. Hair? Oh, Austin, Yeah,
Blake something great job hair, you got it? Yeah, but
that would have great job. I don't know where. I
(45:48):
can't believe you got that. Yeah, Austin was good. Alston
was a great Austin was really good. But then it
became great as Blake got bigger and it's so clever. Man.
Some beach was good too. Yeah, that's guylight, honey bee.
There that was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for
the good news. Glenn Lake Elementary School to small school
(46:13):
in Minnetonka, Minnesota. It's about five hundred kids there and
they're eight kids that have a wheelchair and they have
a playground that they thought was accessible and inclusive. There
was a ramp, and the ramp doesn't quite work anymore.
But these kids in one specific classroom, teacher Betsy Julian's
fifth grade class, they're like, this playground isn't easy for
a bit to play if you can walk, if you
(46:34):
can run, if you're in a wheelchair. We want the
swings and the merry go round. We want the ramp
to work. So they started raising three hundred thousand bucks.
That was a goal. Well, somebody jumped in it goes
here's two hundred thousand bucks as an anonymous donation. Whoa
anonymous this could be? So we know for a fact
that wasn't Lunchbox because he would never do anything. Yes, So,
but they're still raising one hundred thousand dollars that's their goal,
(46:58):
and so they've set up a go fund me Glenn
