We share our experiences with our parents letting us drink growing up and the legal ramifications that can follow if something goes wrong. Bobby and Amy share why they are in need of some fun in their lives. Ashley McBryde stops by the studio and gets into everything from naming NA drink  after Bobby and why she refuses to look at album reactions right away.  She also tells us crazy tour stories that involve unexpected prayers, drunk crowds, and the time she had to use a taser on a drunk guy.

so I know about the meeting and they're like, everybody
needs to be at this place ten thirty. And we

Are you there? Hello? Some here?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Is this something? A late night message? You got?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
No, I got it yesterday. I believe it's because we
have some changing of the guard within the local cluster,
and so they're just gonna go over I think talk
about strategy and sales and oh, it's not and see
how we're doing.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's not a bad one.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Probably five more people.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
It's not. But it's really you're just making a joke. Yeah,
just kidding, you know, not a funny joke. I'm offing.
I'm offing for jokes. Yeah, it's a bad one. That
one didn't hit no, no, no the last time. Though
it happens, it happens his life, so I guess he'll
report to us what's happened. But yeah, everybody in the

(01:18):
building has to go to one of those. All right,
let's go around the room.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
H Nah.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I don't know. I'm so light, Okay, Hi, Hi, I'm

Speaker 5 (01:30):
This is more for you and Eddie and lunchbox. I

Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Y'all like pickles, right, love pickles? Big pickle? Guy, love
a pickle put in my hole?

Speaker 5 (01:41):
I don't love pickles. And why because no, it wasn't
too many. I had one of the big ones when
I was in the pep squad, and for whatever reason,
it made me sick. And when we were driving home,
my mom had to pull over and I got sick
on the side of the road, and I just not However,
I will say I had some dill flavored chips the

(02:04):
other day.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Those good.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's so good. Oh, you can do those.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
I can do a deal flavored chip?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, growth try a pickle? Hey, can we get a
pickle next week? I think Amy can eat one in
the studio and not be sick.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
But I don't want to eat it.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
You could do it, I know, but we never want
to grow because growth is uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Okay, Well, you don't like you don't want to eat mayonnaise,
so I'm not going to make you eat mayonnaise I have.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's tough to admit this. Well, dabbled in aoli.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Oh that's mayo based, isn't it? With a little garlic.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I really don't know because I didn't know what AOI was.
All I know is anything that's white that doesn't have
dairy in it. I'll try because I'm looking for any flavor.
I'm looking for any dip. So I'm like aoli not
for me, I don't think. Let me give it a try,
and I think there's some like mayo elements to it.
My kidney. You gotta have mayonnaise, garlic and lemon juice.
If I can do aoli, you can do a pickle.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Okay, I'll give it a try.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
We believe in you amy.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Kind of pickle, A big fat, lascid.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Okay, Well, so so here's a thing still, Yeah, here's
my story, Scoba.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Can we get a big fat blastic on like Tuesday
or Wednesday show next week and have Amy eat a pickle. Oh,
I get you a fat pickle?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah right now?

Speaker 6 (03:20):
Okay, we're not even the same room open to today. No,
I'm saying downstairs there's a wholeood thing. Grab a pickle
right now?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Is Amy there in the building?

Speaker 7 (03:29):
I know?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
But so we're just gonna hold it for three to
four days?

Speaker 6 (03:33):
Yeah, yea, I'm not gonna. I mean, pickles don't go
bather in jars. They last for a longer period of
time over too.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Hey, he wasn't joking, Okay, serious, I don't think he
was paying. He was working on his computer as what
I think? What's happening? Amy?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Go ahead.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
So Smoothie King is partnering with Grillos Pickles for a
limited edition Pickle Smoothie.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I bet you it's probably good, even though it seems disgusting.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
It blends Grillos pickles with ingredients like bananas, k and
coconut water.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
And seems too green for me. My wife likes green smoothies.
I hate green smoothies because there's not enough fruit. I
like my stuff sweet. But I bet you if you're
a green smoothie person, that's pretty good. Kale though, makes
it green.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
The bananas will help balance it out.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Just a little coconut water I need berries to know.
Coconutater doesn't balance, it just hydrates.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
There's sweet coconut water sweet.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
You know what's sweet? It is pepsi.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Coconut water is not sweet coconut water.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Coconut water on the rig, It ain't that sweet.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
I had coconut water this morning.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Maybe it's because your taste budds are so green that
it's sweeter than what you normally have.

Speaker 5 (04:39):
No, I just think coconut water has a sweetness to it.
It also has sugar. Google Mike, how many grims.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Of sugar natural sugar from the cocin nut will have
to agreed? To disagree?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
We shall.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
So they're doing a pickle smoothie.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, so if you're into pickles, then you might want
to try this SMOOTHI King collab And what did y'all
put on your pickle snow cones?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
That was a strawberry snow cone with pickled juice and
little pickles in it.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
No, you would put that taheen or telly powder, chili powder.
So I bet with this like a little chili powder
in there.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
You gotta do the strawberry, though, if you're gonna do
chili powder with the pickle. Otherwise she was drinking a
green smoothie with pickle.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
But but that snow cone you could do with any flavor.
For us, it was the strawberry. But I think that
was their main was it. That was their base, their bass,
because I would have never tried that. So good man,
it doesn't sound good, but it was so good.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
It was so good.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
So see that was.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Easy, fun story, good for you, lighthearted, good times, good
times because I had options.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I know, I bet you.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
I know.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, we're back.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Cardi B Is back back on his beat. Guys.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (05:50):
There was a video of her arguing with her baby
daddy Stefan Digs outside of a coffee shop in Maryland.
She was heard cursing at him, yelling, and she responded
and said, look, I sometimes forget I'm famous, and I
was just hungry. So it got a little bit blown
out of proportion. Everybody relaxed. They're not getting back together.

(06:12):
They were just, you know, I guess meeting up talk
about kid. I don't know, maybe he was seeing the kid,
but she said, look, I was hungry. Have you never
yelled at your baby daddy when you're hungry?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I have not. I have not not in public. Yeah,
there's no way she forgets she's famous.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I bet you do sometimes.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I bet you don't. Really, I am not famous. I'm
slightly known, and I'm always aware that anything I do
in public could be recorded and I could be highlighted
as the idiot I am if I idiot in public? Yeah,
said it's made no sense, but you get it.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
I can't what you're saying, but you're you're smart, you
think about that stuff. People that kind of just like
live their life like whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
But she's really famous, wildly famous. Where everywhere she goes,
people look. That doesn't happen to me. People look sometimes
and they'll go look at oh who is do I
know him? Or they'll be like hey, I'm a fan,
or they'll record. But it's not like that. Like everywhere
she goes, she's probably reminded how famous she is. I
don't believe that. I think she probably got a fight

(07:10):
but didn't care. But if you're that famous, you know,
and then how mad to be yelling and like at
a coffee shop. I know, but I guess you're probably
not meeting them if it's not in public, if you
have a bad relationship, a strained relationship based on what
had happened with them. Yeah at the super Bowl aver
that crap. Yeah, well welcome back Cardi B.

Speaker 8 (07:32):
Yeah, good to see her.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Welcome back to the fold, Eddie man. This is crazy.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
So this is back to my hometown, McAllen, Texas. A couple,
they're a married couple, got arrested for throwing a party
for their kids after prom. There must have been like
thirty kids there and they were serving alcohol. Cops got
called for by a neighbor said that you might want
to check this house out. Looks like miners are drinking.
Cops show up, the parents are there. The parents are

(07:58):
the ones that bought all the alcohol. So twenty two
miners got mips? Is that what that is?

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Minor in possession.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
And then the parents got arrested.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
I'm torn. Can't do that by law if kids are apps.
Excuse me, I think I'm drunk this morning. If kids
are absolutely going to drink, would you rather them drink
in an area that has physical boundaries? They cannot drive
with people overseeing the kids. That's the question, right, illegally. No,

(08:32):
But unless they're so loud, unless they're out in the
yard peeing or breaking stuff, why would you call and tell?

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Because well, maybe they were being disruptive.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Maybe, But like if the neighborhood's normally quiet and then
there's just a rager going on, you're gonna call the cops.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
If it wasn't super rager and you knew what was
going on, I would hope the neighbors wouldn't call because
I feel like that's a responsible parent.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
How old were the kids they were in high school?

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Man, I feel like that's a responsible parent because those
kids are gonna drink anyway. Can we agree to that, yes,
they're gonna go something.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
This has been a question for parents, like I'm not right,
I'm not a lot of parents juggle this. Well, they're
going to do it anyway. And it's like, I don't know, did.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Your parents amy like ever allow you guys to drink
at the house.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
My dad one of them, one of them.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
My mom no, because like my parents didn't. But there
were so many parents that.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Were cool with Oh yeah, so many like I can
name I can name them. I can name the houses
right now.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I remember our party after prom was at somebody's house.
Their parents were there. We all got wasted. It was awest.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Did anybody drive away?

Speaker 5 (09:37):
No?

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Did we all stay there?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Was it part of the deal that you could drink
if you stayed in.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
So some parents would collect keys and would be really
strict about it, and then others did not.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
So I would like to say the parents that are
only wanting to be cool, I don't I don't co
sign that. The parents that are going I'm gonna make
decision based on my children or what I know about
them and their friends. They're going to find a way
to drink anyway, So we're going to do it. There
are physical boundaries. You cannot walk out of these boundaries.
I have your keys, you do it, We'll protect you.
I don't mind that. And this is for somebody who's

(10:13):
never drink. I feel like we're mitigating some of the
death risk for kids, and we're mitigating some of the
death risk for people that are out driving on the
road that don't know they're drunk, kids driving at them
that could crash into them.

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Right, I mean, these days a lot of parents though,
I mean, I don't know. I'm like Eddie, where I
know there was so many houses that allowed that when
I was in high school, but now with lawsuits.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
No way.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Absolutely, I agree very.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
Different like which maybe they were happening back then, I
don't know, or they just ramped up, but like it's
scary to even want to be the house that's trying
to be responsible. Yeah, because if one accident goes wrong,
so maybe you take their keys, but is there do
you have a body of water? Do you have a
like on your property? Because some people have ranches or

(10:57):
farms and they've got lakes or they have a pool.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Or they I agree what you're saying makes a lot of.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
An accident happens and then you're held liable. I've just
heard of horror stories of like, oh man, they were
trying to give the kids a safe place to hang,
and then the kid fell in the water and then died,
and then now the parents are in a lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
I would think that is very very very rare, very rare.

Speaker 5 (11:19):
But it's just something you have to consider if you're
going to be the host of the event like that.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I just say it's not worth being the host ever.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
But what about if your kids went to a thing
where a parent was locking them in and they were drinking.
You also can say no, I'm not right on this.
I just feel like that's my feeling. I would rather again,
I'll use the word mitigate the risk of anybody dying
or killing somebody, because kids are going to do stupid

(11:50):
things regardless because they're kids, and you can hold a
blind eye to it. But just because you're going don't
see it probably not happening does not mean it's not happened.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
When I think back on the houses that it did
allow it and the parents, it's like a it's like
fifty to fifty of like some of the kids, it
made them really responsible with alcohol, and like they didn't
see it as this crazy deal. When they went off
to college, they weren't wild and crazy about it because
their parents just kind of low key, like allowed them

(12:21):
to have a cocktail at dinner or your being culture
with your parents and you go yes to another country
or somewhere you can order a drink at eighteen, so
you let them try SIPs of things, and it's not
just this taboo situation. But then when I think of
some of the other kids, like they were pretty messed up,

(12:42):
But I think those are the houses where maybe the
parents just didn't really care, and they were drinking too,
and alcohol was problematic in their family because and it's
sort of fifty to fifty like some of those kids,
like I said, no problem with alcohol, totally handled it
well and it's probably good for them. It was integrated
into their life the way it was, and then others.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Are hot mess.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
There's also a genetic element, that's what I mean in
that as well, So it doesn't matter really what the
parent situation is. Even if everything was controlled in a
perfect environment, they're still probably going to have trouble with it.

Speaker 5 (13:13):
That's what I mean. When I'm thinking back on those
kids and how they turned out, I'm like, well, wait
a second. Their parents were literally like drinking with us,
you know, and a little not as responsible, and they
probably themselves had an issue and then there passed on
to their kids.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I don't co sign the cool parents that just want
to hang and let the kids drink with them. Yeah,
that's not for me. I'm saying. I would be okay
with a safe space if you felt there was going
to be drinking to eliminate the risk of them killing
somebody or somebody or killing themselves. Because if they're leaving
and drinking and driving. I'm okay with that. It'd be
hard for me to say no to that because I

(13:50):
feel like that's a bit of a compromise. It's legal,
so I'd like to also say that.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yes, that's amazing, it's illegal.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
All right. Let's see that was lunchboxes? Have we done it?

Speaker 3 (14:06):
You guys?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
I always get everybody starts talking and I forget who
does what? So forgive me lunchbox at CARDI B. That's right, Yeah, Amy,
I got a couple of. This one is for you, okay.
It's about anti virus. Al Roker said on the Today
Show that the CDC has travelers returning from his flight
to voluntary test for handa virus after flying home from
his daughter's wedding.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah is this for me?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well you're obsessed with the handed virus?

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, I'm like, well, and.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
If they're asking people, random people to voluntarily test.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
So then if they if they do, do they have
to go to the.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
Where they have to what's the confinement plate?

Speaker 5 (14:47):
The quarantine place only if it's positive, the national quarantine
unit only if it's.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Where was this party?

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Like?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Where where are they coming from?

Speaker 5 (14:53):
A wedding in France?

Speaker 2 (14:55):
France.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
Yeah, okay, so that's what I've been intrigued by. I
think we're gonna be okay. But like the people that
are quarantined, I can't decide if it's like awesome for
them or not.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
I mean, I'm sure it's a little scary, but.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
No, none, none, none awesome.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I mean when I was quarantine at COVID, that was
kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Dude, that was early. You knew you weren't going to die.
And I was in my bedroom.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
I can think of ten moms right now. That would
be like a national quarantine unit. I get to stay
in my room for how many days? And there's there's
a there's a peloton, bike, a TV.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
If you have hontifirous sugar and die mostly fifty, then
I'm not packing.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Some of the people quarantine, I guess they don't.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Know if they yeah, and if you do, it pops
positive when you're quarantined.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
Okay, you're right, I get it's good death. I know.
I don't want to make lie of a serious situation.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I'm just saying, you just ride a peloton.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Well, the guy I saw in quarantine, Jake, he has
a stationary bike in his room.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
That sounds fun, pretty good.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, you make a good point. Symptoms, symptoms, it's a
respiratory story. Oh god, lung stilled with water? Oh with
water die. He's like, you're drowning. There's basically drowned. Yes,
there's other symptoms with it.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
But if there are people, are there people that survive it?

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I think it's like a thirty to fifty percent. That's
what I've read exactly. What is it thirty? What's the
thirty death or live? No death? That's all death, thirty
to fifty. But there's a three intenhit. Hey, Eddie, no, no,
we're not playing this. You're gonna roll of dice.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
He you drawing a pizza.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Pick a number out of what I'm gonna pick. I'm
gonna write three numbers down.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
And you said so out of ten.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
So all you have to do is guess one number.
But if you there's three of these here, if you
hit one of the numbers, you die. Any number one,
number one through ten, go oh gosh. But if you
pick one of the three I have here, you died.
It's thirty percent. Okay, so I just get one shot,
one shot eight you lived? Yes, did you see my
numbers lunch walks. Pick a number eight. Smart, that's the

(16:54):
smart one to do.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
That's right, you're smart.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
Okay, that's smart. I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't
have done that. Not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Good job, good job. My numbers were two, six and one.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Oh wow, my second would have been three.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
But you don't want to have to do that. No,
three and six chance, that's not three and ten chance. Okay,
so that was the first. Another story is nearly half
of Americans are lacking fun in their lives. Is there
a fun drought in your life?

Speaker 3 (17:21):
I can probably use a little more fun.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh, that's sad.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
It is sad, but I mean it's real though, its real.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I could use more fun. I don't really do anything fun.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, I use a little more fun.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Like I'm I enjoy some things that I do. Like,
I enjoy my job, but it's not fun.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
It's more fun than other jobs.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, I don't hate it. I enjoy my job, but
I don't go whoa wisdom bill. I can't wait. It's
gonna be crazy fun. I could use a little more
fun right now. Weird time, baby, But I'm just not
a fun guy anyway.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
Yeah, I'm trying to think of, Like there's anything on
my calendar where I'm like, cannot wait for that, don't
have it yet?

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Nope, Yeah, I don't either, Like I don't even.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Know what we do for vacation, and it's stressing me
out because I don't want another year to go by
where I.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Just don't do anything.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
We're gonna say, and you have what same?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I have a baby. Oh baby, So we're just kind
of like what what Well, we don't know, like we
travel with her yet, it's new, so we don't know whatever.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Whatever the doctor says, right, I mean, yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah you can. We're just thinking do we want to
travel with her? Where do we want to go? Yeah,
we'll do something, but yeah, same just different. Uh fun, No, dude,
drought for sure.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
And I told you that even if I did have
like a vacation thing planned, I'd be like, it's just
going to be five days and then I'm going to
come back to everyday life. And it's not like like
you said, the job's great.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
I think this is your this is your low t
though you think so, yeah, because you're I get it.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
I get because I tried to create fun guys, like
I have the karaoke machine. I try to get going,
and then some kid punches another kid and it's like
in your house, yes, and now you ruin the fun
guys like and then it's like, why did you do that?
And then do ten push ups. I don't want to
do ten push ups. Then the whole night's ruined.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Lunchbox A think fun.

The weeds of what.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
In the weeds of like dad life or work life?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
For me? Like work life because people are asking. It's specific,
like really specific work questions that nobody cares about to
talk about here. But I did like fifteen minutes of
it and people really liked it. They were like, oh,
I had no idea that that was the part. Maybe
she'd listen to it sometimes, I'll check it out there,

and she just grew out of them now, but she
definitely wore them and people thought they were They were like,

This is not about me, though, this is it's okay.

Okay, Well, then what the bony colada? Because I I don't.

How about the self deprecating Dacrie self deprecating Dacree Bobby

Speaker 7 (21:55):
Okay, think about humor comes in the glass.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
The mint bone heito.

Speaker 7 (22:01):
Hey, I actually like that.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's awesome that you guys like.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
That was rible. That was the worst one.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
Yeah, yeah, the bone heto is the worst one.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Okay, enough about me. I'm a massive fan of yours.
I was so happy to see that people were loving
your record. I was watching you talk about too. Did
you not get to be part of the album release.
Were you just on the road or what.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
Just doing work? Just all of the work, the whole
parade that goes all of the months leading up to that,
which is twelve of those.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
It took a year to do the album.

Speaker 7 (22:30):
And we did the album, I mean, we just got
to have to sit with it for a year. So
we have songs that we want to play, you know,
that we can't play out yet. And then all of
the press and the media, and we do the Tonight Show,
and we do Kelly Clarks Long, we do all the things.
So I'm in a plane, We're not in the bus like.
Plus we're doing a couple of shows here and there,
but we can't play the new record yet because it's
not out, and so all of everything just kind of

(22:51):
feels like a holding pattern. Even though you're doing what
you love, you can't do the new record yet. So
on release day, at a full day of press in media,
and then I was I had just gotten back from London,
so I was still pretty jet lagged, and I couldn't
really figure out, like how to use the microwave, like
this very confused, exhausted body. And I guess I seemed sad.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Who said you were sad.

Speaker 7 (23:16):
People online my friends were like, are you okay? And
I was like, I'm fine, which, of course I was like, Oh,
I know, I'm sad because I want to be with
the guys. I want to be with Dana and Blakely,
and I want to be with our crew. And even
though I'm out here keeping the road hot and keeping
the skies hot, we're not out here doing it all

(23:37):
together a lot of the time. So I want them
to feel like they're being celebrated. We made an amazing
record that I'm really proud of, and we deserve to
drink mocktails and have a cake and have that acknowledged,
you know, one one to another.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Hey, look what we did, and you weren't feeling.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
I guess I was. I guess I was sad.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, have you got to like do it now with them?

Speaker 7 (24:00):
Yeah, being all together and just hugging. And it was
true US fashion. Dana brought a cake and we couldn't
find forks or plates, but we found a bunch of knives,
so we just cut it into little pieces and stabbed
it and people would walk by, We're just like eating
it with a knife, And that was a very very
US thing.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
To do before you play, and you have your guitar.
I want to play What if We don't? So would
rather be great? Would you kind of give me this
story because I know you're one of the writers on
the song. Yes, so would you tell me about the song?

Speaker 7 (24:28):
It has to do with that. What if We don't
is the moment of right before you make a decision,
and it's not it's not an easy one. This is
a do I leave the friend zone or are we
safer here? And in that little bitty moment, anything could happen.

(24:49):
Because after that moment, you're gonna have to live with
the I did take the chance or the I didn't
take the chance for the rest of time. How and
you may ruin that friendship by taking the chance, and
you may ruin your chances by not taking it. So
it is the possibility that anything could happen, that we

(25:10):
might regret how far we let it go. But what
if we don't. And it just so happens that a
few years after this song was written, mile might have
been within the same year, Uh it was four years later.
I got in the situation. So you know, there's Randall Clay, Terry,
Joe Box and I wrote this song, and we pulled

(25:32):
from all areas of our lives, and then later the
question would be asked to me and I would say no,
and then that ended in tragedy. That ended in it's
not like somebody sped away in a car and met
their end right then. It was the next day and
had I mean, it was just a complete freak accident.

(25:53):
But that right there really drove the song home in
me because I didn't and there's no way to know.
There's no way to know if that would have ruined
everything or if it would have been great. Like there's
just no way to know.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
How long did it take you to write this song.

Speaker 7 (26:08):
Let's see out on Terry Joe's patio. We probably spent
four hours on it.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
And you wrote it that long ago and you held
it because yes, it fit this project.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
Yes, it was one of the songs that we kept
it in the live show. And it's tried different iterations.
We've tried having it more keys driven, We've tried having
it more guitar driven. We've tried doing this groove or
that group. We never got it exactly right. Then while
we were on the road, We're on the Leather Deluxe
tour with Cody, and we were trying out Rattlesnake in

(26:39):
front of his audiences and getting it to where it
needed to be. And we brought what if we Don't
back to see what it would do to an audience
that's not inherently ours. You know that we're exposing our
music to his fans. So with no frame of reference,
what does this song do to a crowd? It moves?

(27:01):
And I was like, I knew it. It's a hit.
We have to cut this. We have to cut it,
we have to go. It doesn't have to be a
new song to be the song that belongs on this record.
It was one of the first songs I chose for
record five. It was right up there with Rattlesnake and
Water in the River.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Why would you even think to pull this song? Because again,
you've written so many songs four or five years. I'd
imagine you write a hundred songs. I'm just want to
he r out there, Oh yeah, what about this song? Though,
just kept making it like pop back up to play
to try because you have so many songs. You can
do that with the.

Speaker 7 (27:29):
Rudy effect, you know, the like I know this song?
Can I know it?

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Can.

Speaker 7 (27:36):
I know it can move. I know it can move
us as we play it. I know it can move audiences.
It's not a love song, it's not a cheating song.
It's none of the easy ammo. It's a what if song,
and I know that it didn't get its chance, and
if you'll just give it its chance, then everybody'll be
rooting for it.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
We're gonna play it now. That's I love her doing
all the work, all the heavy lifting for this song
was done. Ashley McBride is in studio. She's gonna play
in just a second. But let's play that now here
on the Bobby Bone Show. Here is what if we
don't on the Bobby Bones Show.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Now, Ashley McBride.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
When you put out a new record, Ashley, do you
get on at like twelve oh five to see what
people are saying? Or will you give it the next day?

Speaker 7 (28:20):
Oh? I cover my eyes for at least twenty four
hours because this is a record that I've made with
my guys and I'm so proud of it, and shame
on me if I let anything taint that. At least
for twenty four hours. I am proud of this record.
That's what I need to know JOHNO is proud of
this record, My band is proud of this record, my
team is proud of this record. And what Carol thinks

(28:42):
about it's none of my business.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Classic Carol, always jumping in with her opinion.

Speaker 7 (28:45):
Here she is with her box won Carol.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
I would love for you to play Arkansas mud. Yeah,
would you do that? I would do it, actually and
I are both markets are.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
But in case you wonder, yeah, I got it makes sense.

Speaker 7 (28:55):
It turns out this song is incredibly hard to play
without a band because there's so much like double time
half time. But that's okay.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
I have a bell foot tambourinees.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
We found it.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean that she has a tambourine strapped boot.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
That is correct. Sorry, I just hit the mic.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Okay, So I want to tell everybody we're doing here.
So she has taken a microphone and built a very
small stand going right over the top of her foot,
and now she has a bell tape strapped her foot,
and then she's playing. She's doing all this herself. What
I think of is you know that old thing of
the one man band. Yes, Ashley's the one man band.

Speaker 7 (29:27):
Oh my gosh, if we can get cymbals for my knees.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
We have made it, all right, I'm gonna be quiet
now here. She is Ashley McBride with Arkansas Muddy.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (29:34):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
We can't post a live performance on the podcast, but
if you go to our YouTube page you can watch
it there or maybe listen live.

Speaker 7 (29:44):
Okay, all right, now back to the podcast.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Yes, there is man. That is awesome. You're awesome.

Speaker 7 (29:55):
I love how the e string was just like, well,
sometimes I'm also very are while you're banging on you know,
not a single one of us heard that. Now I'm
going to remove the tambourine from a foot for our safety.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
That's funny. Every time she answers or it gets passionate.
You're announcing the new tour. So you're doing the End
of the Wild tour. Yes, so when you do Yeah,
when you do your shows, I feel like you're like
such a sophisticated thinker and writer, Like, where do you
do like the songs that casuals know.

Speaker 7 (30:27):
The accidental Yeah, accidental fans like casual fans. Yeah, where
do we put that?

Speaker 1 (30:32):
If it's like well no, if it's like someone's like,
I know the song about the room key. Now I'm
gonna go watch Ashley McBride, and where do you put those.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
Songs that needs to be in the first three?

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Oh? Really, yeah, you hit it heard at the very beginning.

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Well, it needs to be something familiar, So we usually
we start with a statement and whatever that statement is,
and I like the statement to be you've arrived and
and that's usually very.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Loud, So you want to come hard and loud and right.

Speaker 7 (30:58):
Yeah that way if you weren't in your seat, that's
not my fault. And then a couple songs in, especially
if they're like, is this the girl that leaves lights
on all the time in her house, especially where food
is prepared, you want to make sure that they recognize,
Especially if we were to start the show with Blackout
Betty or Arkansas Mud, You're like, I think I came

(31:18):
to a different show because there's such a diversity in
what we're really good at, and country music has such
a diverse range of what that is. So if we
hit it hard at the beginning with a rock song,
I do want to give you a mid tempo that
you're super familiar with in the first three or four.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Did you ever want to be a preacher?

Speaker 7 (31:41):
I wanted to make sure that that never ever.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Happened, that you were never a preacher, that it.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
Could never be confused as anything even close to it.
But and in fact, when I went away and there
was a spiritual counselor there where I went, and she said,
one of these days you're going to walk back into
a church and you're going to share your story. And
I said, only if you're in attendance, darling. You know

(32:08):
that kind of thing. But back in the day, north
Little Rock, Arkansas, a bar called Reno's Argenta Main Street.
This guy had come in. He's in like painter's clothes,
you know, like carpenter's pants, that's what they look like.
You cant hang tools on them. And there was all
one color kind of cream. It was kind of a
stain paint all over it. He came in and he

(32:30):
was like, Hey, what time do you start, sweetheart? And
I was like, in twenty minutes. He had to meet
one hundred dollars bill and he said, start right now.
And I said, it's no problem, no problem, I'll just
be dang, it's ten o'clock. And throughout the show he
kept coming back to the tip jar, which was the
red gas can, and he would say things. We're starving
for you. Where have you been? Don't you know you're
supposed to be here? And then he bought the whole

(32:52):
bar around of shots. When he did that, I said, hey,
I would like to tell the people in attendance tonight
who to thank for they're whiskey. And he said, it
doesn't come from me, it comes from the Lord. And
I said, okay, congratulations everybody, thank you Jesus for your
fireball and just being very you know, irreverend and very
casual about it. On my break four hour set. On

(33:15):
my break, he came up and he said, would you
let me pray with you right now? I don't know
this man, he's probably almost sixty, and I was raised
in the church, and I absolutely if your amen has
my name next to it, then that I could use
that help. Whatever that is that's putting that on your heart,

(33:36):
that's a real thing. And so I put my hands
in his and I said, of course. He said, did
you know God chose you? And I said, yes, I do,
I know God chose me. And he said no, not
as the entertainer. You're the accidental preacher. And I said,
well I hope not. And we prayed together and I
finished the show and I never saw him again. But

(33:56):
by the end of the show, he had put fifteen
of those one hundred dollars bills in the gas can.
And this was at a time that I had to
choose between making rent and buying groceries. I had to
save money to get reflux medication because it was sixty
dollars a bottle and I couldn't afford it. I had
two things in my fridge. I had a jug of

(34:17):
powder like gatorade, and I had a six pack of
PBR in bottles, and that was because I dog sat
for someone this I had nothing. So the whole when
he said that all of that happening around each other,
me saying I hope I could never be confused for
that is not a completely accurate statement, because what he

(34:40):
said to me that night was really important. And I
don't go around preaching about sobriety, and I don't go
around preaching about preaching. And I want everyone to feel
like they belong and like it's okay to be anywhere
I am, no matter who you are. And if that
were to be confused with establishing a message, then I

(35:03):
would be okay with that.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Do you ever feel like you weren't supposed to be
around places you were in. People can feel that way.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
Oh yes, I've been in some really interesting situations. I
never really took into consideration how small five to three
is because I'm larger than life.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
You know, I would have bet your way taller than that,
because you're larger than life.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Thank you, thank you. And I have a big mouth,
and I have a big energy, right and I've talked
myself out of as many fights as I've nearly talked
myself into and by saying things like you can hit me,
but you're gonna hate the way I take a punch.
But I got in a truck one night. In my truck,
I had loaded up my gear. It was after the

(35:45):
bouncers had taken the trash out. It's a big mistake.
I should have been gone by then, all my gears
in there. There's nobody in this gravel parking lot. And
I went to go close the door of my tundra
and a big, big, drunk guy was between the door
and the frame. Now I know what size five to

(36:06):
three is m because and he's he's hammered. So it
does not matter how hard I push or if I
hit him square in the nose. None of this is
gonna face this guy. And I'm not pulling this door
closed unless he says I get to and that'll piss
me off unless who says. But that's why I keep

(36:30):
a taser in the in the cup holder. It works
every time you read every time I have one of
one time. Okay, he's one of one one times, and
I hope he's still in that parking lot.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
You had to use it, then that's the time you
use it.

Speaker 7 (36:46):
Yeah. Yeah, I just grabbed it and stuck it in
his thigh because that's what what's funny is when I
bought it, we went to like a show, like a
weapons show like you do at one of like at
the whatever center in Conway or whatever, and I got
you know, I was like, oh, it's a cute little
taser thing. And it was just still in my cup holder.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
So you didn't like practice like grabbing, just no.

Speaker 7 (37:07):
I usually practice like situational awareness. I keep. I don't
know what the actual name of that is. They are collapsible,
they are metal. I think they are an asp ASP
maybe they are called and they're illegal in some places,
so you gotta know, Like I keep like a stick, yeah,
like a billy club, but they extend. And so I've
always kept ways because of myself, just me and my

(37:30):
truck and sometimes my dog. So I've always kept ways
to keep myself safe with that we literally bought as
a joke and I was happy to have it. It's
not gonna hurt the dude, but it's gonna change his mind.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
It's gonna hurt him. It's not gonna injure him, right, yeah.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
Right, nothing that cannot be quickly recovered from.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Dang when you put this record out, what did you
not expect to get from people that you got from people.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
Who maybe I expected a little pushback on the bottle
tells me so?

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Why Because.

Speaker 7 (38:08):
I've made it a point to not soapbox about not drinking,
and so I try to be really careful there that
that isn't preachy and it isn't soapboxy. It just is
a statement that there was a problem. And I think
the thing that has surprised me most right now at
live shows is the number of people singing so loud

(38:32):
during bottle tells me so. And for some of those
people that are singing, their bottle isn't a bottle. It's
a something else and you can see it, which means
that there is a moment happening there with us together
that is super healing that he in not in like,

(38:52):
come here and I will lay hands on you and
heal you. Something hurts a little less after that song.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
The album is called Wild the Tours into the Wild.

Speaker 7 (39:04):
Yes, ye, yeah, you nailed it.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Okay, So the album was out, just came out, and
the Tours into the Wild just announced twenty six dates.
You can go to Ashley McBride dot com or to
her socials McBride.

Speaker 7 (39:14):
With a why that's right McBride with a why.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
McBride with the why. I am such fan. I hope
this album does everything that you wanted to do. Maybe
it already has. Maybe it already has, you know, but
I'm such a fan, and thanks and I got so
many nice messages to you know, I have a story.
We all have our stories, but we kind of told
our story together on my Netflix show, and I hear
about that more than just about anything I've done.

Speaker 7 (39:36):
Here, so many messages about that episode. So thank you.
Thanks for having me, and thanks for having that conversation
with me, because it's helping it's helping others.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
I think there's a real safety in talking about something
with someone who's also experienced a version of it. Oh absolutely,
And for me that was the safety, like talking to
you about my version of my story. There's safety in
that because I know it's not even so much judgment.
It's just like understanding and empathy more than sympathy. I
get plenty. I get plenty of sympathy.

Speaker 7 (40:02):
No one did the space for it, yeah, without any
anything around that, like there's room for it.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
So I really appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
I appreciate you doing it. I thought about that for
days after we spoke, and the more messages that i've
I've gotten that, I'm just tickled and thrilled that that
it's encouraging others to talk.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
There she is the wonderful bell on her boot, Ashley McBride,
Thank you, hey, guys, before I do the FAQ's that
I'm about to do here, I kept calling them f
y q's because I was getting four U Paige and
frequently asked questions mixed up. So I'm not gonna change it.
But every time I say that, just no one I know,

(40:42):
I'm an idiot. And two that's where the confusion was
f a Q is frequently asked questions. That's what I meant.
F YP is the for you page. Okay, here you go,
enjoy Bobby, Hey, everybody, we're gonna do it. F y
Q on questions that I get that are very inside

(41:03):
in the industry, we call it inside baseball, even though
it's not about baseball, but it's like way inside that
I don't think most people would actually care to hear
the answers to but I do get these questions a lot,
so over the past couple of months, I've made a
list here. The first one is not super inside, but
it is what is new in your life? Now, I
tell you what I did today before I get to
the inside stuff. This is just a little bit of life, chump.

(41:26):
We have a baby, and we have car seat for
the baby. And today it was a big day because
we actually took the newborn insert out and now there
is no newborn insert, so the baby's getting bigger. The
craziest thing about the baby getting bigger is that her
ears are getting bigger, which is wild because her ears
are always like this big, and last night I was

(41:48):
looking at it, I was like, her ears aren't that
big anymore. So that's what's new in my life now.
My life is dominated by baby right now, and even
like internet drama, etc. I don't even pay attention to
it right now. I can, I'll have time for it
because it's just like I work all day and then

(42:09):
in the afternoon and then we go home and we
I don't want to say, have raised take care of
the baby. But it's crazy too because they're so small,
but they're also growing so fast that everything kind of
hurts a little bit through growing pains. Also a great
show back in the day. So that's the quick update

(42:30):
on life now. Fyqs one way or another of these
questions get asked about kind of my career. Inside the
question what's annoying to you but you put up with
it in your career. I think the thing that's most
annoying to me and I understand the value of it

(42:51):
and I put up with it is on the Bobby
Bone Show podcast feed. And for those that don't know,
I've been doing a podcast for twenty years. I've been
doing the radio show, but I've been so dedicated to
the podcast of our show, meaning not just repurposing the
radio show, which a lot of people do, but we
have been so dedicated for twenty years on supplementing it,

(43:13):
doing different shows, podcast friendly shows that aren't segments from
the radio show. I've been so dedicated to it, and
it's why it's really large. I think if we took
the radio show off and just had the podcast, it
would be a massive podcast. But I think people think
about us as that because it's the radio show first
in most people's mind. But we have worked on that

(43:34):
podcast so hard for so many years, and I am
somebody who is a bid OCD about I like things
to be the same. In my perfect world, that podcast
feed would have nothing but Bobby Bone show files. Now
I don't own that feed. My company, which I love, iHeartRadio,

(43:55):
pays me a substantial amount of money and they own
the feed. So there are things and decisions that they
make that I understand doesn't mean I have to like them.
For example, random podcasts get put up on that feed.
Sometimes the company owns it, so they go, we have
a massive feed, We're gonna like launch a show on
your feed, or even like some of the shows from

(44:16):
my podcast network, they get put on the feed, and
I'm like, oh, this is driving me crazy. I like
it to be clean. So that's something that I understand.
I can absolutely see the value in that to the company.
And since the company owns the feed, because I don't
own fifty one percent of it. I own some, but
not fifty one percent of it, so they have it,
that's it. So that is something that is so inside

(44:41):
that I don't think I've ever talked about. If it
were up to me, that feed would just be the
Bobby Bone Show. So another thing about the podcast feed,
oh man, we're going way inside here, is that there
was a time a few years ago into a couple
of years ago or I was getting a lot of
complaints that the podcast wouldn't go up until way late

(45:06):
in the day, if it was like one or two PM.
So what we started to do was we'd finish the
first half of the show, and we would put the
first half of the podcast the show up on the podcast.
Then we'd put the whole thing as a second file,
and then we would do a second show, so now
there are three files up there. I didn't like to
duplicate part of the show, which is what was happening,

(45:28):
but we wanted to get something up early. Where that
got me in trouble was and we stopped doing that
after about a year and a half, is that, because
I work for a corporation, you can't actually have less
than you did the year before streams ads revenue. So
when I stopped doing that, first half of the show

(45:49):
goes up and the whole show goes up, and then
there was a third file. I still had to have
three files up there, and then we just went one show.
It was just two files for like a year, and
it looked like the podcast numbers had dropped off significantly,
even though each episode was doing better, we just have
three files up there that they'd be able to sell
ads on, and so it looked to the company like

(46:11):
our podcast was trending way down. So now what we
do is we do basically a fifty minute show that's
live on the radio. We do a fifty minute to
an hour second show that's just podcast, and then we
super extend or tell me something good segment, which I
think is my favorite thing that we do, and that's
usually around twenty five minutes to thirty minutes. And people

(46:31):
would go, well, why don't you make that a whole
just two and a half hour clip every day, because
then it would only get the number of streams for
the one file, and the company would be like, you're
going way down. But that's why. That's like that on
the feed, I kind of walked myself into a trap
there when I was trying to do the early part
of the show on the late part of the show,
so dust was up. That's so again, that's inside baseball.

(46:56):
Another one is something you hate doing for work that
you never talk about up. The thing for me that's
most awkward. The thing that comes to my mind first
is I hate asking people to clab on Instagram posts
because I feel like I'm begging. And so if someone

(47:16):
does the Bobby Cast or the Bobby Bone Show and
on Instagram, you can tag somebody or you can invite
to collab. I always feel weird about inviting to collab
because I'm going to think that they think I expect
them to also push this through to their feed, and
like I tell my guys, like, we'll do it once

(47:38):
or if they want to, a lot of times they
want to because my feed has one point two million followers,
and so I'm gonna put it online and we shoot
it really high quality. So sometimes they want it and
we'll talk to them ahead of time, but if they
don't want it. I just feel really awkward about asking
people to collab on Instagram posts, so we'll usually do

(47:59):
or ask for one. I haven't even been doing that recently, Like,
unless they don't ask, I don't do it because that
feels weird. So that's what I hate doing because I
just don't want people I don't know, but that kind
of is gross to me. Another one is do you
like talking about Dancing with the Stars. I don't mind it.
I think I do it in pocket. Sometimes I love it.

(48:21):
If somebody hasn't experienced it's similar and they did the
show as well. That's fun for me because I like
hear other people's experiences. There are three, four or five
six months at a time where I don't talk about it,
and I think I went for a couple of years
really without talking about it at all, but then I
just kept getting brought back into the mix over and
over again, and it was never positive. And then it

(48:41):
was well, if I'm gonna take all of this for negative,
I should at least be able to use some of
this content for myself, So I don't mind talking about it.
Sometimes people are shocked by it, and then that's kind
of fun if they're like you were on that show
and I'm like, yeah, I want it, and they're like,
oh my god, that's fun. But I kind of feel
like that's like my boy, like a backroad, like I'll

(49:02):
talk about it the rest of my life, even if
I really don't want to. I don't mind doing it.
I don't lead with it, but a lot of times,
especially if it's people who don't know anything in my
country music or anything about what I do or books,
or that's the thing that goes first in a headline
for somebody who knows nothing about me, a headline that
I don't write. So they'll go Dancing with the Stars

(49:24):
champion and they'll want to ask about that. So, yeah,
I don't mind talking about it. Sometimes I love talking
about it, but I don't normally bring it up out
of nowhere unless I think it's gonna get me to
a place where whomever I'm talking to is are they
gonna give me something? Or it makes us comfortable. Whenever
Danik and mckellor was in, who was Winnie Cooper? And
she's written books and she's great. She was a great guest.

(49:46):
I knew she was on the show. I knew she
had like broken a rib, and that is something that
I can talk about with her, and I know that
she's gonna feel comfortable, she's gonna love telling the story,
and it's gonna allow us to get to another place
because we've been like in a conversation together. We've enjoyed it,
and it allows me to move around a little more. So, Yeah,

(50:07):
I like talking about it sometimes, but I know I'm
going to talk about it for the rest of my life,
if I like it or not. So what is the
most bizarre part of your job? So if you're removed
the things that I think people think, the answer would
be of, you know, doing a podcast on Netflix that's
watched by millions of people, eating at restaurants where people

(50:31):
like film you and like all that's bizarre. Although I've
been able to grow with that a little bit. Meaning
when I'm in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and that's where i
started one oh five point nine Klasy in Hot Springs, Arkansas,
nobody cared small town. I just did nights. You get
like two people a month that be like, hey are
you Billy Bones on the radio, and I'd be like,

(50:54):
make my day. Yeah, they'd be like, that's great, no
picture or anything because there were no camera phone. And
then as I went to a little rock and I
had a little more notoriety, it really started for me
in Austin. And then you start to get people want
to take pictures with you. But then people also are
going to talk bad about you. Like that part of

(51:15):
the business starts because the higher your platform, the more
everybody's going to talk about you. Period. Some people are
going to be mad you have it. Some people are
gonna like that you have it. But as the platform lifts,
more people see you, more people see you, more people
have things to say. I've been able to grow with
that from nobody caring at all to a few people

(51:35):
caring too. Sometimes people care to Now it's pretty regular
that people say hi or want to take a picture
or something normalists can be. For my wife, that was
the really abnormal thing is she didn't get to grow
into it. Like so, when we go to dinner and
someone's recording us, and you can always tell when someone
holds their phone like this because most people, I'm looking
at my phone. For those that are are watching, if

(51:59):
you're listening, I'm looking at my like a normal person
looking I'm kind of bent over whenever the phone comes
up like this. You don't look at your phone this way,
and that's how you can know somebody's recording you. And
so if we're sitting at dinner and someone's phone pops up,
like my wife doesn't like that at all. She doesn't
like to be recorded. I don't even notice anymore. But

(52:20):
at first I was like, not a big deal, but
I realized she didn't get to grow into that. Okay,
thank you for recording me right now, So that that's
a bizarre part of it, I think for her. But
I think the weirdest, weirdest part is that I if
I'm anywhere, I have to have security with me. And
it's also not something that I talk about a whole
lot because nobody cares. But I've had enough. I've had

(52:42):
more than enough instances and incidents that to my company,
I am a bottom line. If something were to happen
to me, there would temporarily be significant revenue loss. There
is insurance on me from my company, not because they

(53:02):
like me as a person, although a lot of them do,
but because if I were to go down, they would
lose a lot of money. So there's insurance on me
for that insurance to happen because of all the instances
that I've had with people trying to kill me, jump me,
death threats, their security with me all the time. And
that's weird for me because it's just meat, like, what's

(53:25):
gonna happen now that we've had some real close calls,
And like you know, I do an iHeart Festival, which
we did, my guys with me all the time. Everywhere
I go in the building I get, I get there,
my guys with me all the time, So that is bizarre.
That's a bizarre thing. I understand it. It's like the
podcast thing. I understand why the company has to have it.

(53:45):
There have been enough instances where I've been almost beat
up or almost died that they want to make sure
that their investment is protected. So, uh yeah, I think
that's a bizarre part of my job that I don't
talk about often because it feel's douchey to walk around
with the bodyguard. I got a good one though. He
will f you up though. Dude, Seriously, do you know

(54:09):
the good episodes and the bad app episodes of the
Bobby Cast? That's a question, No kind of I know
the ones that I enjoy doing, but sometimes the joy
that I have in doing it does not translate because
maybe somebody's humored doesn't translate, or it's not as enjoyed

(54:29):
as much as I enjoy it. Also, there are times
I come in and I am roasted, just exhausted, didn't
get sleep, show went long, something happened, and I get
in the room and I'm having my brain's not clicking,
and I finish it and I'm like, terrible, what a

(54:51):
terrible episode that was? It turns out it's pretty great.
People will tell me that there are somewhere I'm like, man,
that was so much fun. Nailed it, and people like,
yah's fine, it's fine. So I think most of the
time I know when it's a good one, but I
don't always know because a lot of it depends on
when I get to the room how i'm feeling. But
one that I really enjoyed recently, and I don't know

(55:12):
how it's going to be interpreted. I haven't seen the
edit or anything. Was it's not out yet. By depending
on when you see this. Vanessa Carlton, she did making
my way downtown, walk in fast paces, faces pass as
they go, but no, no, no, no no. She did
a thousand miles, probably the biggest song we've ever had

(55:32):
in the room, honestly, and we've had massive stars, but
I think that's as long as you bick with us.
It's everywhere, And so she doesn't do any press, almost never,
and she came in very dry sense of humor, and
I just really enjoyed it because she also had pauses
when she answered, which made it feel a little uncomfortable
at first, we kind of got the rhythm down. She

(55:53):
also was like no bs. She was also funny. She
was like, I play one thousand miles first, just I
can get it over with basically, is what she said.
I I appreciated that. Like, to me, that was an
episode that I really enjoyed. I don't know how you
guys will take it because she communicated a little differently
than most people do in an interview. So a lot

(56:14):
of times I can tell sometimes I miss sometimes I
think the ones are great aren't. And sometimes the ones
I think are terrible end up being good. And that's
mostly though, if I just was exhausted going into the room,
which I really try not to be, but sometimes if
we can only get them at a certain point, we
have to schedule him up against like five hours of
other work. So that's some real inside stuff. But I

(56:35):
wanted to answer some of those because I get those
same type questions all the time, and for the eight
people that will watch this FYQ super inside information about
Bobby's career. Thank you for watching, all right, voicemail?

Speaker 9 (56:49):
Why is Eddie so condescending to everybody? He's not the
best game player, he just gets watching, but he is
rude and condescending? Love the show?

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Is that the impression people are getting of you? Now?

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Oh, I don't understand what am I doing? That's rude
and condescending?

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Amy? Any answer there?

Speaker 5 (57:07):
I guess does somebody have an example of his of
him being condescending?

Speaker 2 (57:12):
We need that?

Speaker 1 (57:13):
Is it during games when he wins he gets cocky?

Speaker 5 (57:15):
Well, he definitely has a little bit of that, but
that's always that.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
Yeah, that's confidence. You could do it after after I win?

Speaker 1 (57:22):
Yeah you know, yeah, Okay, give me the next one.

Speaker 9 (57:25):
Years ago, Amy's cousin made a prediction about when Bobby
Bones would get married, and he didn't even know Caitlin yet,
So I wonder if that envelope was ever opened. Just curious.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Two different things. One, did your psychic cousin to your
best recollection nail when I was going to get married.

Speaker 3 (57:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
It was so long ago, I don't know. Oh there
was an envelope for that one too, Man envelopes on
the show Where's the envelope? He was a bit Amy
has a psychic cousin, show a hands. Who believes Amy's
cousin is psychic?

Speaker 2 (57:58):
Not me? I mean I do, Morgan.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
I just think she.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Has a gift.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
She has a gift.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
So I'm gonna raise my hand.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
You're going to raise your hand.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
I don't believe you. I don't believe in psychics, but
I do believe that some people have the ability to read.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
It's a different dimension.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
It's tough. I know her.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
Her level of consciousness goes to a place that most
can't get.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
She talks to the dead.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Two.

Speaker 5 (58:30):
Yeah, she's had conversations with my mom and her mom
and other people's mom. There's somebody we work with actually
that lives in New York. We just saw her. I
heard country festival and I guess she had a thing
with my cousin, and she was like somebody that had
passed away in her life. She was like, she was
telling me things that nobody would know, like nobody, And

(58:51):
I was like, oh, that's crazy. You talked to my cousin.
I had no idea this person even talked with her.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
We can't prove Amy's cousin is lying. We can't.

Speaker 5 (58:59):
Well, but this woman that works with us, she was
saying nobody would know the stuff my cousin was saying
about the person that died.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
I hear you, so I'm not. I don't know for
me as somebody who got I gotta see it.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (59:13):
It's tough.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
You're raising your hand.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
I'm halfway. Let's go to our historian, Mike d What
do you see over there? She did predict the month
you were going to get engaged, get engaged? And did
I get engaged that month?

Speaker 7 (59:23):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
You did?

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Okay, yeah, I think I do recall that now, and
that was a pretty wild.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
It was way way way for correct. Now remember prediction.

Speaker 5 (59:30):
Yeah, now, yes, now I do recall. I've been sitting
here thinking about the different because we've done a lot
of different bits with her or timelines, and there was
one that never made it to air. It wasn't about
anything like she wasn't we weren't interviewing her and she
was making any sort of predictions. It was just at
my house, something you had going on in your life, Bobby,
and she told me it was gonna happen, and then

(59:51):
it happened. I don't remember that one, well, yeah, because
it wasn't on air.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
I ever know that one was a cup for me.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
I don't think so.

Speaker 5 (59:59):
I think I probably told Caitlin, or maybe I didn't
want to say anything until after because it just felt
like weird. But I already I sort of knew, and
then then you announced. You were like, yeah, this is happening.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
And I was like, what, I don't even know what
it is.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
I know, I don't think you would care if I said,
because it's not anything, give.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
It a run, okay, then don't don't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
You wouldn't carry you.

Speaker 7 (01:00:22):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
You were moving, and but you weren't in the you
weren't moving yet, okay, and then you moved, and it
sort of didn't make sense because like I didn't think
that the move would happen, and then all of a
sudden there was conversation of like, we're moving, and I
was like, what.

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
The So the prediction was about him moving?

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Yeah, and I was like, no, no, he's not gonna
move because.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
To be fair, I've moved basically every two or three
years in my entire life because we had to move
going up, we moved everyone. We couldn't stay in a
place for long. No Aparliament, trailer, wherever. We always had
to move get kicked out. So when I got to
be an adult, I kept moving, just kept moving.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
So but but I just felt like there you wouldn't
leave the slice because it didn't make sense, because like.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Yeah, that's how long building it up.

Speaker 7 (01:01:03):
And then you got.

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
Married there like everything was made sense, like you wouldn't move.
And then she was like, no, no, they're movie.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
Maybe it would be like a psychic being like Amy's
gonna hit something with her car in the future near future.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
But nobody predicted Bobby and Caitlin moving at that point.

Speaker 1 (01:01:18):
They had We keep finding reasons to go no, no, no,
when maybe we should just be open to the idea
thatity maybe can I can. I I did a little research.

Speaker 5 (01:01:26):
She also said Lunchbox wasn't going to get a car,
and he still hasn't, and she.

Speaker 8 (01:01:31):
Said that I would choose a different career path by
the end of the year in twenty twenty on the
engagement she said, if Bobby Bobby will either get engaged
late this year or early next year, that gives her
a whole window.

Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
So we wrote it down. We wrote down the month.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Yeah, I didn't know it.

Speaker 8 (01:01:50):
I am just looking at the Bobby Bone Show website
and whoever does our website, that is the quote they put.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
So I'm just going off the research.

Speaker 5 (01:01:57):
And that's not tracking the bit entirely because Haus, yes, Eddie,
as we were thinking about this, I do have memory
and recall of how it happened. And she had texted
me or sent like an exact month, and I held
it secret.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Didn't name tell me because she knew I would fight
it and purposely not get engaged that month is to
prove her wrong, exactly right.

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
If I told Bobby the month, he'll be like, ye'all,
I'll show her.

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
Oh yeah, I definitely would have found it anyway, amys
psyched cousin. But she's been nailing some stuff we don't
know for sure.

Speaker 5 (01:02:28):
I mean also she'll even say she's like, I'm not
going to get everything.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
But but if you're psychic, why don't you get everything right?

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:02:36):
No, because it's fuzzy up there in the different division.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
Chance or luck. Yeah, you missed some UINSA you get some,
but but your psychic.

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
No gets everything right. Like you could be the greatest
baseball player. You're not gonna throw all strikes even if
you're trying.

Speaker 5 (01:02:49):
Yeah, it's the dead people stuff that really gets me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
You mean, the struct to dead people knowing.

Speaker 5 (01:02:55):
Things that people aren't. She's not supposed to know about
our co worker's grandmother in New York, like they don't
know each other. It's not like she could google, like, oh,
let me research about this person's.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
Okay, Well, a winchimes all around. I don't know, guys,
that's what's up. Thank you for the voicemails. Leave us
one anytime. Eight seven, seven seventy seven, Bobby, that's it.
Thank you everybody. We will see you tomorrow on the show. Tomorrow.

We're gonna have fineness for a show Friday morning dance
Party's fun.
