I never heard that, I don't won't know in the ghetto,
in the ghetto. I've heard that you loan soon tonight
in the ghetto. No different song. I returned cinder. I've
heard just some known. I've heard that one before. There's

(03:27):
a lot, but you did pretty good. I'm star five.
Elvis is jewelry is gonna hit the auction block. More
than two hundred pieces of jwelry purchased by Elvis are
set to hit the block. And it is some loud
stuff with things like TCB which men take care of business.
Ed is some loud jewelry. You would never wear this
now unless you word around your neck and went, this
is always a jewelry. Yeah, yeah, So it's all going up. Uh,

(03:47):
that's from Reuters. But Scuba Steve claims to have a
piece of Elvis memorabilia. Do you guys know this? Yes, Edie,
you do? Oh yeah, because he took it to Grace
Lam when we went really, what do you have, Scuba Steve?
From Elvis? So my wife's bringing us like show you later.
But it is a cane that a girl I dated
in high school. Her grandmother, for some reason loved me
so much gave me this cane that she acquired from

(04:07):
Elvis back in the day. Through however she required. I
won't get into that. But she got the cane and
it's it's legitimately his. Apparently it's a wooden cane. As
a tiger, he can't say those words do not match. Okay,
you can't say it's legitimately his apparently legitimate and apparent
yes were even after you say those days wash yes. Well, yeah,

(04:29):
so she says she got it from him. I believe her.
She grew up in that era, she was around that
that whole scene, So I don't see why she'd be
lying to me that it wasn't from him. Well, there
are many reasons to lie. Look cool, one if you
don't know, you're lying and someone she got it from
someone who claimed it was ill unless you have a
picture of him with the cane at some point, yeah,
or like a letter from Elvis going well, this is
my cane. Pretty dead Elvis. Yes, what's tough with no proof?

(04:52):
Have you looked online for pictures? I haven't found any
online for pictures, but but it does seem like it's
Elvis esque. I have George Washington's wallet. Yeah, that's really Yeah. Yeah,
it's apparently legitimately his apparently legitimate. But you can say,
and I hope it is. I hope it is. I've
had all I've had it for like fifteen twenty years.

(05:13):
That's cool, that's cool, that's cool. Yeah, I have some
und to wear a babe ruts. Wow, tom it's Tommy John.
I'm anxious to see it. Scuba. Yeah, I will say
though in the movie there's a shot that focuses in
on a cane, and I didn't know Elvis had a cane,
but in the movie it's like, there's Elvis with a cane.
And I wouldn't say it looks like exactly Scuba's, but

(05:35):
it resembles scubas because they probably wanted to use the
real one, but I had it. Okay, I can't wait
to see it Scuba, but bring it in Okay, Well,
definitely it's time to open up the mail bag. Get something.
Ye Hello, Bobby Bones, have a situation where I would

(05:59):
like your advice. I have a female coworker that smells bad,
almost like body odor now at COVID back in November
of last year, and I'm still not able to smell
a lot, but I could smell her, and another female
coworker in mind said the same thing. Question is, how
do I go about this? Should I tell her? Our
supervisor is male, and I've heard she doesn't feel comfortable

(06:20):
talking to him, So should I let him tell her
even though it'd be awful for her? Sign smelly coworker
in Michigan. Oh, we've talked about situations like this before. Amy.
I'll start with you. If you stunk, how would you
like us to tell you? I would love for you
to tell me, but it would be hard, so I
guess privately and not make it like embarrassing. But now, okay,

(06:42):
So if it's you, for example, maybe one day we're
having meeting, but you say, hey, man, you talk to
you in the office, not about me stinking. We talk
and then you're like, hey, by the way, did you
get a new deodor or oh you really like to
be coddled and hug course and even like a little
bit lied to. That's not a little bit like did
you get ato deodora? I don't feel that way you

(07:04):
smell or did you stop using it? Amy? Hey? Ella,
I know you love to be natural and make your
own deodorant, Like did you stop doing that or something?
You have to lie to me, but be gentle with me,
gentle with a slight hand of dishonesty. It feels like
would you do it? Is easy? I create a fake
email account? Oh my gosh, Oh what yes? I do?
Because then nobody I do not want to get a

(07:25):
random email for something. You're gonna get it from um,
a friend that's not brave at gmail dot com and
you're gonna open it up and it's gonna say, hey, Amy, Um,
you're awesome. And I knew this would be awkward, and
I'm i gonna tell you who I am. But as
a friend, I just want to look out for you. You
You haven't been smelling very good and I'm not said
a single thing to anybody else. So don't worry. No
one's even talked about this. But I just wanted you

(07:46):
to know because i'd want to know, and I've avoided
any sort of awkwardness. See you soon. Obviously a friend
that doesn't do so, i'd have to find out who
that was, like, wouldn't though you would never, I'd have
to ask everyone. But you really want to send me
the email email? I sent it, but asked me, Hey, bones, yeah,
you aren't the one that sent me the email about
me not smelling good? Were you? There? You go? Okay,

(08:07):
next person next. That's the easiest pie. That's what I
would do, because they don't want to be told that either.
And it's just, hey, we really like you around here
and I just want to avoid you an they embarrassment
and we haven't even talked about it. I'm just letting
you know. It's either you or some food you've been eating.
You didn't even do that and pitch it off a
little bit, but it's been smelling bad, so I just

(08:28):
want to give your heads up, that's all. It's easy.
Everybodying doesn't have to be so on your face and
like personal and like hey, buddy, let me touch you here.
You're a good person and you stink. Email, nobody hurt
give it? Then I'm gonna agonize over the email and
who sent it? Great agonizing ver? You having to avoid
me forever because I plunged you into a room and said, hey,
your butt stinks. Why did we go from just kind

(08:50):
of smelling? Because because it smells that bad, it's probably
no lunchbox. Listen, it's easy. Just get a variety of deodorance. No,
don't do that, put him in a gift basket, and
then just put him on the person's desk before they
get to work and say surprise or a happy birthday,
or you could use this. That's it. Like when I

(09:12):
was in college. Emmanuel, he smelled so bad? Why are
you saying his name on National He was awful smelling,
and no one said anything to him. And finally Charissa
took a stick of the oldorant. He left his backpack
in one of our rooms, and she stuck it the
oldorant thing in there and put a note said this
might help you with the ladies. Boom, and guess what
Emmanuel stops thinking, Yeah, okay, I don't like that as much. Well,

(09:33):
we all have different approaches. I would like to hear
from someone like Lunchbox, Like out of all of us,
say I smell, Lunchbox came to me and say, hey, man,
look I smell all the time. And I just struggle
with that. Yeah, that way I can relate to him. Yeah,
but I don't know that that's always gonna be possible. Like,
none of if we were to do this with him,
who would come to me? None of us really, because
none of us smelling would say we say to him

(09:53):
all this time, you tell me all time. That's different
because he's like I smell anyway. My advice, Amy says
you should go and kind of make up a little lie.
May No, I didn't say lie. I say it, and
they're true. It was if you were to say to them, hey,
have you tried a new deodora? That's not what you
really think? Well, because maybe they are trying. No deodora

(10:14):
smells like poop. Yes, I don't know. I've had some
sometimes some of that old spice. After about three hours.
All right, that's where we that's where we stand. Good luck,
there is a way to do it. I'd find one
of these approaches and try one of those. I would
do mine anonymous. That way, no one ever knows. All right,
thank you, you can close up the mailback. We got
your that was about to close by mail. I want

(10:42):
to go over to the phones and talk to Page
who lives in Alabama? Page, what's going on? Um? Two
got engaged in your parking lot? Wait what We'll talk
to me here for a second. So two of your
friends and you live in Alabama. They drove to Nashville. Yeah,
they live in hunts Alabama, and they got engaged in

(11:05):
your parking spot over the weekends. So they came up
to the building, which I guess the garage door. This
is me consecurity right now. It's me being moved by
a loving story and also afraid at the same time.
So they came into the garage and they found my
parking spot. And how did that proposal happen? Well, Josh,
their names are Blair and Josh. He had other plans

(11:25):
but they kind of fell through, and Blair, being a
huge fan, he was like, well, why don't we go
see if we can go to the studio and see
what happens. And somehow they got into this parking garage
and they're like, look, there is Bobby's parking spot and
she was glassing in all giddeas and he got on
his knee and for post and I posted a picture

(11:47):
on your website and was like, look, Bobby, two of
my friends got proposed, got engaged in your parking spot
and there's a picture of them riding in front of
your sign. This is reserved parking for Bobby downs that
I have seeing the picture, I would love to see
the picture. Would you d m it to me so
I can see it? Sure? On your Instagram? Yes, that'd
be awesome. What's your name so I can look for it. Okay,

(12:09):
that I'm going to discontinue any thoughts I have of
being secure and not be a murder because they weren't
murdering me and nothing happened. Right, I love it. So
when everybody know, I'm just gonna let that that's it
flowing off. I'm just gonna enjoy this. Okay, We're all
good on that, right, Okay. I love it. I love it.
I love it, I love it. I am one. I'm
so honored that she is such a big fan of
the show that he thought, well, this would be kind

(12:30):
of fun to do. Obviously, the first thing didn't work out,
but that's a really cool picture. And so everybody lives
in Huntsville, right, that's what you're saying. Yes, Bayer and
Josh living Huntsville, Yes they do. This is this is
what I'm gonna do. So I don't know when you
guys are coming to Nashville. Maybe you want to make
a special trip, but if you come up, I will.
I would love to meet them, and we will actually
do one better and bring them in, bring them into

(12:55):
the studio. Even so, I would love to meet them.
I don't know what kind of are they still in
town or no? No, but I will definitely let Josh
and a player No. I'm sure she is listening right
now and is probably freaking out. I would love to
meet them, and I'll tell you what, I'll even get
somebody off to play a love song while they're in studio. WHOA.

(13:16):
I don't really I don't really know what's going to
happen exactly, but in my mind I get all this
stuff going on, but I don't know who it's going
to be. But maybe it's um. I don't know. I
don't want to, but I think we could do something
cool for them that's never happened where somebody breaks in
the build. It's illegally trespassed. But still I like it.
Pretty cool. I like it. That's awesome page. I'm gonna

(13:36):
put you on hold and get your information, okay, and
then I'll tell you what if you want to come
with them? Bring it sounds great. So I needed more
excitement than that page. It's like, yeah, it's fine. It
wasn't about me. Well, i've met you before. We've met
you at a rating idiot show before, and she was
shaking so bad. She always said she would marry you
first and was heartbroken when you married Kaitlin. But she
met Josh and they've got engaged and Josh, no, no,

(14:00):
not poor Josh, poor Josh. She's over the Moon's over
the moon. Oh there, here's the picture. Oh look at that.
I mean they are. It's nighttime, so it's even scarier.
They're up here. It's dark. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they've broken
the dark time. I liked that. Um I'm looking at
the picture now. Wow wow wow. Okay, that's all. Hopefully

(14:20):
I will talk to you soon. All right, sounds great,
Thank you so much. All right, byeye. Well that's a
pretty remarkable story. You thought you were in the lovedest
of love stories. I haven't need a lifetime to a
movie on that. The break in and proposal. That's pretty cool.
All right, thank you for calling page. It's time for
the good news. Austin and Lexie Burke were headed out

(14:41):
to lunch in Nashville when they see this thirteen year
old Niko sell and lemonade the one hundred degree heat
and they go up to him and they're like, hey,
what's going on. He said his soccer team got invited
to Portugal and then it was going to cost like
three thousand dollars to go, and his dad said, you
have to raise one thousand dollars and I'll pay the rest.
So he's out there selling lemonade. Well, she's a serial

(15:03):
tipper on TikTok, so she goes to lunch and tells
her fans, Hey, we need to donate to this dude,
and she walks up gives him a thousand bucks. I
think it's awesome that she gave money to this kid.
I just don't trust Cereal tippers on TikTok in general.
I think they're cutting a little bit for themselves. I
don't know that, but I know I like people, Hey,
everybody send me money on a venmo and then they
take it and they go, we're gonna I think there's

(15:24):
a holder's fee if you're asking me, Yeah, but that
is just crazy. And then they send up a gofund
me and it's raised twenty thousand dollars. Twenty thousand. Who
said up that this Austin and Alexei Burke, Okay, take
it all back. She's pretty awesome. I take every back
everything I said, and I'm wrong, but can I I
don't understand it costs three thousand and go to Portugal?
What are we doing with the twenty thousand the rest
of the team. It's three thousand probably a kid for
travel And oh, so you think they're paying for the

(15:45):
whole team. You think a whole team goes for three
thousand bucks? No, No No, it was just a day in
a flat bottom. The dad told the son he would
pay for him to go. It cost three thousand per kid,
and so he's like, if you raise a thousand of it,
that means I know you're dedicated to going, right. So
how they raised twenty thousand to send other kids on
the same team. I didn't think about that, man. I
don't know how the kids just getting all the Yeah,

(16:07):
who's gonna going out a little? The guided tour of Portugal.
I can't believe that's awesome. What's her name again? Her
name is Lexie Burke, I believe her, fully, says one
point eight million followers on TikTok. Good for you. All right,
that's it, That's what it's all about. That was tell
me something good. Let's give away that money. Five thousand

(16:27):
dollars in cat I guess not cash. We bought meilots
to them, some five thousand dollars. Anyway, going to Teresa
and Purty Missouri. If she can nail the lie, we're
gonna play two truths in a lie. Everybody, welcome Teresa
to the show. Hi Teresa, Hi, how you doing doing
pretty good? How the heck are you? I'm great. I'm

(16:48):
just a little nervous today. I felt that because I
will be nervous and I had the chance to win
five thousand dollars, I would be a good nervous, but
I'd also be nervous that I was gonna lose five
thousand dollars, and then I'd be like, dang, so have
you been thinking about that? In your mind. You've been
thinking about winning or losing more. I've been thinking that
I'm a winner. But here's the thing, I feel like,

(17:09):
if I don't win, I'm no worse off than I
am anyways, And I got to meet you all and
talk to you on the phone and participate in a
very fun contest. Yeah, if that won't pay your bills? Yeah,
all right? Teresa and Purty, Missouri? Where is Purdy? What's
it here? Give me a big city close to Branson
or Springfield, Missouri? No, Well, great, glad to have you on.

(17:32):
Teresa's a ten year fitness instructor at the y MCA.
Teresa has a cattle ranch. Teresa, what's more physically exhausting
a day being a fitness instructor or a day on
the ranch? Just pretty much, probably the fitness instructor because
my husband takes most of the care of most of
the cattle, so I just get the benefits. Shout out

(17:52):
to him. That's right, all right, we're giving us a
good positive energy. All right. We got three different statements,
three different story worries. Teresa, all you have to do
is identify the lie. One of us is lying. And
if you nail, let you get five thousand bucks. Let's
go at first, Eddie. Back in my hometown, there's a

(18:17):
restaurant called Benitos Tacos, and in high school, they were
so impressed on how well I could tolerate spice that
they named a taco after me. The taco was named
Eddie Diabolico, which means Eddie the diabolical man. Sadly, Benitos
Tacos went out of business in nineteen ninety nine, so
you can no longer get that taco, or get that business,

(18:38):
or get anything from that for that restaurant. Okay, so
Eddie had a taco named after him because he could
withstand the heat. Basically Amy. Back in the day, my
roommate stole my exon card and put hundreds and hundreds
of dollars worth of gas and gas station food on it.

(19:00):
I had to go home and confront her. It was
really one of the hardest things that I have ever done,
and we have not seen each other since that night.
Years later, she mailed me a letter apologizing for it,
but there was no return address, so I have had
no way to talk with her and let her know
that I forgive her. Do you forgive her? I do Okay, good,

(19:24):
all right, next up. Most of my experiences with celebrities
are good or just not eventful. Well, I had an
awful experience with Wendy Williams, the talk show host. She
got really upset during an interview because she didn't like

(19:45):
what I was asking her. Although I felt questions were
extremely fine for the situation. I wasn't being crazy or
trying to be wild radio guy. She threatened to leave
the studio, and then before she actually left, she insult
and me, saying I would never be her. Then after
she left, and after she told me I would never

(20:06):
be her, her husband was waiting on me outside the studio.
I could see him through the glass because according to others,
he was waiting to beat me up. All right, there
you go, three stories Eddie Ada Taco so hot that
they're like, we're gonna name this after you. Amy had
a friend steel and run her credit cards way up.

(20:27):
Amy hadn't found her since once, but then you can't
find her now. Well, yeah, after I confronted her, she left,
and then Wendy Williams and I had a really terrible experience,
and her husband was allegedly waiting outside to beat me up.
After that all right, Teresa, we're coming over to you.
You could be five thousand dollars richer if you could

(20:50):
identify which one is the lie? Teresa, Teresa, Teresa, which
one do you think is true? Who you put on
that truth stand? Eddie's Bruce, You think Eddie's taco is
true that way? He said, yes, okay, So if Eddie's
taco is true, you're gonna lock him in as true, which,
by the way, you're looking for the lie. USA is

(21:11):
new competition reality show Snake in the Grass gives four
contestants a chance at one hundred thousand dollars. The only
catch they'd find out which one of them is sabotaging
their every turn. If they fail, the snake leads with
all the money. Spot the lies, catch the snake when
the cash. Snake in the Grass Episode two, Monday Night.
Please watch it. That's Monday, coming up at eleven tenth
Central on USA Network. Thank you very much, Please watch

(21:35):
the show. I would love it, love to keep that
job and be honest with you. Yeah, all right, So
she puts Eddie on the truth stool, So that means
it's Amy and I that you think are probably lying
to you. So who do you think is the liar?
Is it me and Wendy Williams or is it Amy
and her thieving friend. I think it's the Wendy Williams story.
I think you're lying, Bobby. Okay, she thinks I'm lying

(21:57):
about Wendy Williams. So I'm gonna sit back for a second. Amy,
your roommates stole an xin card back in the day.
That's the story you told. Is that true or false?
That is true? That's okay, all right, she's still in
the running here, So that happened, yes, And you don't
know where she leves came. Look her up on Facebook

(22:18):
and be like, she's not on social media for her,
I can tell completely gone, Yeah, no social media. I mean,
it wasn't a round when we were friends, really, but
it's just not her. She's more kind of off the
grid type person. I think she was in Colorado somewhere,
but honestly, after I confronted her, she denied it and
left and then never saw her again. And then like

(22:39):
years later, a letter showed up in my mom's mailbox
and it was from her, handwritten but no return address,
just the state of Colorado or whatever. And so I
have no idea, but I do forgive her. It was
very She's listening. Now you want her die? Well, I
don't think she's listening. Twist is it was Teresa. No, okay,

(23:00):
that's Teresa. So so far you're still in the running.
It's either me with Wendy Williams or Eddie in the restaurant.
Who is the lie, Eddie, let's go talk to you
for a second. Yeah. So this restaurant, what was it
called again, It's called Benito, And they just noticed you
could eat their taco. I go there all the time
in high school and they would just notice you can
eat their tacco. Yeah. They just saw like, oh man,
this guy can tolerate some heat because I put South

(23:21):
South all over it. And they're like, dude, we love
this guy. We're gonna even tacco after him. Okay, So,
if Eddie's is true, Teresa, you win five thousand dollars.
Feel die? Yeah, you feel good about your answer here?
Still I do. I feel really good Eddie. If yours
is true, she wins the cash. Eddie is yours true? Bones?

(23:42):
You know I love tacos, you love a love tacos,
but I can't take any spice man, No, this whole
story was made up. I lied. Eddie's was the lie. Yeah,
my Wendy Williams store was true, shockingly true, shockingly true.
I just asked her a question about her career or

(24:03):
way back in the day. I think about tupacs and
stuff she had said before, not being controversial at all,
at least I didn't think. So she was like, why
are you trying to be like me? You're not me.
You'll never be. I was like, wait, what, what what's happening?
You will never be? It was weird, and I was like,
you can go, you can go. Is it was just
a weird situation. So the Wendy Williams thing happened. The
Xon card thing happened amy, which, by the way, I

(24:24):
got a letter from Winny Williams no address on the
other day. Oh oh, say, she's gonna send her husband
to beat me up. I never know, my kidding. That
part's not true. But Eddie's story was false. So that means, Teresa,
you did not win five thousand dollars this morning, and
I'm very sorry about that. Yeah, however, Teresa, you do
get to come back on Monday of next week and

(24:44):
play for right now thirty five thousand dollars. Yeah, Teresa,
you didn't win, but you are coming back to play
for big money. Describe your emotions right now. I'm very excited.
Like I said, I feel like I'm, you know, no
worse off than what I And it was fun to
play the game and I looked so forward to playing
it again on Monday. Okay, she's up for the big

(25:06):
money on Monday. Teresa. You a real treat to get
to know and to spend some time with. And we'll
see you next week. Clap it out for Teresa. Our
guest is Dirk Spentley. Quick fun facts about Dirks. He
moved to Nashville age nineteen, landed a job at the
Nashville Network researching classic country music, pretty much got fired,
got kicked out of the Opry early in his career

(25:27):
when he was working in TV. He got inducted in
the Grand Ol Opry in two thousand and five, at
the time making him the youngest member at twenty nine
years old. He's got twenty one number one songs. His
last three r living Gone, I've been Gone, and Beer's
on me. And he's on the phone right now here.

(25:52):
He is Dirk Spentley on The Bobby Bones Show. Now,
Dirk Spendley, Hey, buddy, where are you right now? I'm
up in Idaho getting ready to go for Canada for
a couple of days shows or crazy bike riding shows,
water commitment stuff. It's like a two week run. Okay,

(26:13):
well you started. I thought maybe you didn't watch Running
from the Law or something. He's like, uh, it's I
haven't been a round like this a long time. I've
been out this long and just playing, I kind of
forget where I was night before, kind of kind of run.
But it's good, but just a long, long trip. Have
you ever done that thing where you get out and
you're tired and you're like, okay, too below And I'm like, nah, dude,

(26:35):
this is not too Have you done that or have
you been pretty good about it? I'm pretty good, but
I haven't written down my sellers. So there's times you know,
you don't you don't look down. Those people see you
looking down and see where you are, but you just
kind of double check make sure, like like there and
I played Lake Tahoe and for some reason, we've just
done a couple of shows in California, and I could
remember my brain's like Lake Caho is in Nevada, right,
or is it California? So you're kind of looking down
and you're like, Lakeho Nevada. Are we doing Nevada? And

(26:59):
then you also got to say the right way it's
not Nevada, it's Nevada, because then they'll get really pissed
and you say their their town. It's a little bit
like saying Lebanon, you know, to the Lebanon Tennis or
Lebanon to the Lebanon Tennessee. So wait, isn't it Nevada.
I've been corrected with Nevada. Yeah, I think it's Nevada.
Oh yeah, but I say Nevada. No, that's what he's saying. Though,
you have to say it right like they say it,

(27:20):
or they boo you. I think it's Nevada. Yes what
I say? Yeah? You said? Yeah. All the radios in
Vegas just turned us off. Derks, they're all mad. I
wonder why they're booing. Now I know Derk's been leaves
on tonight. By the way, cma Feston, he's hosting it.
I say this, I've seen some of the clips. You're
the second best host I've ever seen on this show.

(27:41):
Second number two. Oh yeah, I wonder who's number one.
I don't know, probably me, but anyway, how it's very
generous with his laughter. Thank you. So the show's on tonight,
Like what was awesome about this festival? The people are
gonna like, I mean, it was so fun, right they
had them test had happened in two years, so the
crowd's just over the top, just joyous, I guess to

(28:04):
do the right word. And the lineup was stellar, and
then of course the number two hosts in the world
was there mem as long as l King. So great hosting,
I think is the key to the whole show. Actually, Bobby,
as you know, Dirk's hosting really doesn't mean craw because
the acts are so good. But I'm assuming that you
performed as well. I'm right about that, right, Yeah, I
got Well, the highlight for me it was going to

(28:24):
performance one only Billy Ray Cyrus. I mean I've been
a fan of his since day one, even when, like
I remember being on Lower Broadway when he was having
so much success and there'd be some bars that wouldn't
play his music. They're like, you know, trying to tear
him down, and I was like, no way, did billiary
Cyrus is the greatest of all time still is so
a good chance to sing with him a little a key.
Breaky Heart was definitely a career highlight. All jokes aside,

(28:46):
Dirk's and l did a great job hosting the show.
It is on tonight on ABC, so be sure to
watch CMA Fest it is. It's if you love country music, like,
this is a great live show to watch. And I'll
say this, and you know, I'm a fan and a
friend personally, but professionally, this new song yours is probably
my favorite that you've put out in a long time.
I'm gonna play well, yeah, I know, I am. I'm shocked.

(29:10):
I mean, you're It's a nice for this morning. Thanks Bob. Well,
I'm serious, Like, I'm gonna play a clip of Gold
for everybody. This is Dark's new single. I got some shod,
It's ready to room. I gotta grabblood feels like gold.

(29:35):
Like this is one of those you listen to it,
you sing along with it. It's got a good look,
catchy to look, catchy hook, but at the end of it,
you're like, like there's a message there. It's like a
fable almost. You come away from it and you're like dang,
I just I'm a better person now. Well, it's not
gonna have a strong message of beers on me, but no,
it does have a good message, man. One of a

(29:56):
lot of these songs like I Hold On or something
that's a message I wrote kind of for myself and
I needed my own personal life, and uh yeah, it's
being grateful and kind of being present where you are
is something I need to sometimes work on. So I
like the message and I like the groove, and uh
I hope it does well. Thanks. Yeah, it is really
one of my favorite songs you've done in a long time.
So Dark Spentley is on with us again tonight CMA

(30:17):
Fest and I'll kind of wrap up with this and
then I'm gonna just play gold. But as I look
at a lot of the stuff that you've been doing lately,
it just seems more and more like you're turning into Dirks,
not only the country superstar, but very much the businessman
because you got like a bar and you got like
I mean, it's all these these different brand things that
you're doing. So what are you spending more time doing now?
Writing or counting your money? You've got to hold them

(30:40):
knowing to fold them right. No, you don't count your
money at the table, Bobby. I'm still in the game, Okay, No,
I don't know. I've seen more of my time just
trying to just to live. Just like right now, I'm
just on the road and trying to find stuff to
do during the day other than just you know, fill
a bus and play music and so just trying to
get out of the business stuff. It's it's all fun.
And my favorite thing is just still is just to

(31:01):
play music with the band. Nothing beats that at this point. Still, Well,
it's really cool man, because you're killing it, not only musically,
but just you got so many cool things going on
so from I mean, we could list it all out,
but the business is killing at the music killing it,
but most of all, you're just a real good dude.
And that is Dirk Spentley. Everybody. We're going to play
the new song gold right now and CMAFST tonight on ABC.

(31:21):
Be sure to watch it. Never mind, I'll say it
best host ofver Dirk Spentley, I'm gonna says, all right,
Derek's talk to you soon, buddy. Thank you guys. All right, see,
here's a voicemail we got last night, George Treate just
DM me on Twitter telling me how special of a
fan I was. You wanted to create a separate account
to message me and a few other fans just because

(31:43):
you were such great super fan. Isn't that just the
kindest thing you've ever heard of? What kind of scammer
was out of their way to make you feel so special?
Deleting and reporting no check mark, nothing blue, don't accept it.
That's right, it's a good lesson. Don't have a check mark.
It ain't them. Sometimes coolswin Doll has a checkmark, but
he's still he's still hitting up asking for gift cards

(32:05):
and stuff. Here's the thing. If let's say George Strait
wanted to reach out to a few special fans through DM,
you know what you would do. He would DM them
with his blue check mark account. There's nothing that's its
own box. You have a blue check mark, You have
your own box. It's only for extremely private ish messages.
If it doesn't have a blue check mark, that account
is not somebody famous. Don't even talk to them, that's all.

(32:28):
People impersonate me all the time, and it's like Bobby
Bonen forty two nine six for nine dashwe two two two.
Do you think I'll create that account underscore? Yeah, it's so,
it's just not and I hate to see vulnerable people
fall forward and lose money. All right, thank you for
sharing that. You're Samy's pile of stories. With prices going up,
people are changing the way that they're dating now because

(32:51):
of inflation. They're opting for Netflix and dinner at home,
or maybe even just searching for free activities in their town,
or some are just going on fewer dates. In general.
All that would have been good ideas before inflation, you know,
because that not doing that it's got you in trouble
during inflation. But here's think about inflation. It is not

(33:11):
gas but other stuff. It's things are up like fifteen
percent ten percent, which is a lot, but it's not
like everything's triple. These people don't want to go on dates,
so they're not getting nas out on dates. You know,
they're completely changing their lives, not because everything costs five
times more, it's just because they probably don't want to
go out with these folks anyway. Well, I did search
up some cheap date night ideas in case people need inspo.

(33:34):
You can go browse a bookstore and walk around pick.
If you're a dude, you're asking a girl out and
you're like, hey, I got an idea one let's go Hey,
just well it's you know, it's cheap. Let's just watch
Netflix in my house. Ain't gonna happen because she's gonna
be like, you're trying to bring me to your house too.
Why don't we just go browse a bookstore? And what
if she loves to read? That's like fifth date. fIF
they're sixth date, and by that time you spend a

(33:55):
bunch of money. Anyway, what about arranging to watch the
sunset or the sun rise? Arranging to watch the sun said?
It is like you're trying to hook up with Mekses.
You just hooked up with me, going to volunteer together.
That's cute, it is. That's good and my heart, it
feels good, but probably not a good first or second date. Okay,

(34:15):
all right, Well you can now hop into a spherical
pod that's going to propel you twenty miles into space
thanks to space perspective. I wrote that fair ones stretch
you down and then shoot you right up. I did
that already, up to eight passengers at a time. It
can enjoy panoramic views of Earth while reclining in oversized

(34:36):
seats and sip in cocktails. You can really sip anything
if you're being propelled. I think once you get up there,
it's only going to set you back one hundred and
twenty five thousand per person, but drinks are included. It
looks like a pod. I'm trying to describe this to you.
It looks like a hot air balloon that's made of
eggshell with glass all around it that you get in

(34:59):
and some how you live when you land. I don't
know how they have twenty miles in space like that's far. Yeah.
I google Earth and take one hundred grands. Yeah, you know,
I'm good. Get a better view there? Got I got
money to say for dates? You know? All right? What else?
The artist who painted the Jason Aldean mural in Jason's
hometown of Making, Georgia is very proud of her work.
I bring this up because there have been a lot

(35:20):
of haters, but she is not letting them get her down.
Her name is Shamika Bussy and here she is talking
to wma Z TV about it. I did it in
the rain in two hours because of the rain, and
I slid on the top of my truck and did it.
And I put my heart into it, and uh, I
felt so proud when I was done, Like nobody couldn't

(35:41):
take that away from me. People having a pin. Everybody
has the rights there pin. I'm like, that's life, you know,
in life in general, people love and hate us. It's hilarious.
What's wrong with a pain? Have you not seen? It?
Came out? It was painting a dollar general on the
side of the wall, and people are like, oh, look
at this. Who painted a kid? Oh? I see it now?
I can't draw that good? Right, I can never do that, never,

(36:02):
But it's hilarious. It does look like a kid through it.
It looks like a kid who's really it was a
good fifth grader was allowed that space to draw. But
I love her attitude about it. Yeah, just wait till
it's not raining. Right, If that's the case. It was
raining in two hours, I was rushed get to get
on the radar, ab see you when the store moves over.

(36:24):
And then wait, I cannot let me say again, I
cannot draw or paint at all. So I'm only laughing
because I saw it and thought a kid did it. Yeah,
But now if she did it and she's proud of it, again,
use her as a motivation if you need to be
proud of something looks like Johnny Depp's heart. All right, Amy,
that's my vial. That was Amy's pile of stories. Kid's

(36:47):
time for the good news. Good So, when Sophia was
only four years old, she was diagnosed with a rare
neuroimmune disorder. According to her mom, she was completely paralyzed.
She had lost sight and her ability to speak, and
had to spend an entire summer at the Children's Hospital

(37:07):
of Michigan. Now she's ten and she is fully recovered.
So she likes to get back to the kids that
are in that hospital now, not just at Christmas, but
in what she calls the Christmas in July program. So
all these kids that are in the hospital through her
organization called Sophia's Rainbow, she just collects toys and she
gives them out based on their age, and this year

(37:29):
nearly two thousand toys to the kids patients at HM,
and she goes through she hand picks the toys out
for each of the kids, and then she distributes them
to the patience rooms, which is pretty cool. Only ten
years old. Hey, she was four and was able to
beat this neuroimmune disorder. Imagine being a mom and your
kid is paralyzed, can't see and can't speak, both all
of that four years old. But she bounced back and

(37:51):
now she's given back. And I think that's an awesome story. Sophia,
that's really cool. You keep doing it, and that is
what it's all about. That was tell me something good.
