This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human I survived nine months in captivity and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the survivor files. Every week I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable, abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced. These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with the Elizabeth Smart on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility.

How far you prepared to go. Depends how far you are. Listen to Underground Zero on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Today is September 1st, which is crazy. We're going to play famous first, for example, who became the first person to walk on the moon in 1969. New Armstrong. New Armstrong. Good job, everybody's got it, right?
Yep. Okay, Amy, you're first. Which character is generally considered the first modern superhero debuting in Action Comics No. 1 in 1938? I don't know who the first superhero was. Okay, let me think, let me think, let me think. Is it Superman? If you miss it, you're out, but you're not going to lose a scholarship or anything. I know, but I don't want to be out. You don't want to be out. But I don't want to be out. To me, they're Spider-Man, Superman, Batman. Those are the early ones. But I feel like Superman is probably... Which character is considered the first modern superhero? Action Comics No. 1 in 1938. I don't know what Action Comics No. 1 is. Superman. Is that your answer? That's correct. Thank you. Lunchbox, what was the first mammal to be cloned in 1996? I don't even know what a mammal is. Oh my god. Okay, what was the first animal to be cloned in 1996?
That would be a mammal. Thank you. Well, not all. Man, what I'm saying was that. But you could refer to it as an animal. Yeah. First thing that pops in my head, man, I'm going to go with it. Superman. No, he wasn't cloned. God. He wasn't cloned. I think they did that today, man. And I'm going to go with a sheep. The animal's name was Dolly, and it was a sheep. Good job. Good job. Yes. Eddie. Is there a hard... Yeah. They really are. The first Battle of Bull Run was the first battle in what US war? The Battle of Bull Run. Yeah. The Battle of Bull Run was the first battle in what US war? Man, I'm just going to say the Civil War because it just sounds like something that would be older. And you're not going to do the American Indian War, right? Oh my gosh. That could be the American Indian War.
You know what? I'm changing my answer. American Indian War. Bull Run. The answer is Civil War. God. Oh, hey. Do you mean like the French and Indian War? What do you mean that there's not? I don't think they're an American Indian War? I don't think there's... That was called why people come over and kill all Native Americans sadly and take their land. Absolutely. But that wasn't called the Indian... I don't think there's an official American Indian War. So Civil War was this Civil War fight? The Bull. Bull Run. Bull Run. That wouldn't make sense. But you make sure there's no official American Indian War that I'm not familiar with. Eddie's out. There are many American Indian Wars. There's the American Frontier War. There are other Indian Wars, but there's not a war. There's no Bull Run in there. Not that one. No. Bull Run, man. Got me. You're out. No, you had it. First in scene, guys. First in scene. Yeah. What's tough? Amy, what was the first song that I danced to on season 27 of Dancing With the Stars? Ah! Good luck.
You were wearing red. I wish you were saying, what was the first color of my outfit? What was the first song I danced to on season 27? You were wearing red, weren't you? Blink twice if you were wearing red. That does not factor into the question. No, that helps me with the song. It doesn't. I don't remember. Ooh. What are you doing, the jitterbug? The cha-cha-cha. You can't answer that question. Your answer is? You're the one that I want. You are the one on. Ho-ho-ho. So incorrect. The first episode they make you dance to something that's kind of close to home, close to where you are, what you're doing now. Yeah. And it had Broadway, the whole set was Broadway, Nashville. And you were wearing red? Yes, yes.
I just picked that song. Well, I was hoping it might help me with the song, but I didn't have confirmation. I know. Oh, that's a nod to the last one. And Georgia. Okay. That would be a weird song to dance to. It's country. It's a country song. From the 90s. Oh. Chattahooji. Oh. Eddie. It's trouble. Yeah, TR. It's Gary Bailey. Travis Tritt. Yeah, right. Okay. See? I was supposed to. Yeah. Yeah. And then you said. And then you said. Chattachah. But you were wearing red? Yeah. A lunchbox for the win. Oh, man, first one of the month. I think you'll get this one. Unless he miss his it. I think he gets this one now. I think you'll think he won't get it. But I think he gets this one. Well, boy, that's a lot of pressure. Well, boy, that's a lot of pressure. Well, boy, that's a lot of pressure. What band became the first ever artist played on MTV? With video killed already you've got. Ohhh. He didn't even get it. I think he might. Well, he… I thought you're going to ask me the name of the song. band became the first ever artist played on MTV with video killed the radio star.
How would you think I was going to ask you this song when the first two words were which band? I don't know. Good point. Good point. See, cause, let me talk this out. I know it's not D-Vocus. D-Vo is Whip it. I don't know what. Bungles. Oh my gosh, video killed the radio star. Gosh. Answer. The Bungles. The Buggles. Wow. Did you were so close? Say it again. And then see it. The Buggles. And he said the. Bungles. Oh my gosh. So Amy and Eddie are back. Sorry. Amy and Lachbox are back in. I went with my first instinct. I'll ask three questions. I just need you to buzz in whenever you know the answer. That was tough. Here we go. What classic TV show became the first American TV show ever to actually show a toilet? Amy. Amy.

And there. First game in September. Famous first, your winner? Amy. It's the anonymous inbox. The anonymous inbox. The anonymous inbox.
There's a question to be had. Send it in to the mail. Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife wants us to share our phone locations all the time. I have nothing to hide, but it also feels a little controlling. Is this normal now? Or am I making too big of a deal out of it? Signed tracked and confused. I can understand that if you've never been tracked, how weird it is to be tracked at first. Especially if you've done nothing wrong to deem being trackable. So the first time that my wife, like, hey, we should put each other's finds on. She wasn't like I needed to track you. She's like, let's just make sure because most of it too, I think she just wanted to be know where she was too. Yeah. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, you trying to find out where I am all time? I got very defensive. She wasn't even saying I needed to track you. She was like, we should do our fine-mise. So we know.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, you trying to... Why are you always wondering where? It's no big deal. I'm telling you, I haven't thought about it twice since then three years or so ago. And it's so helpful to know how far away she is. So I can get clean up real quick or something. I've made them over. Or if I, you know, sometimes you're just doing stuff at home, playing video games. I go, got to shut it down. I got to get down, act like I'm doing. Got five minutes. Grab the vacuum with a minute left before she's there just act like you're doing some house cleaning stuff. You can use this to your advantage. Yeah. And if you have nothing to hide, I say go for it if she wants it because you're going to create a problem for yourself. If you have nothing to hide, you're going to create a problem for yourself. I did. Answer the question of is this just normal now? I do think it is more normal. Let's check. And more normal. Oh, get it. No, you don't get it, dude. Yeah, but I guess what? What? I still have, I still have where is location. You're ex boyfriend or husband? Uh, ex husband. Oh, that's weird. No, no, no, no, no. I should be friends. Oh, ex boyfriend, ex boyfriend. Oh, okay.
Ex husband would be weird. But I can sometimes track him through when I track my kids, but I can track him out of my drive-by's house late at night. He has cars there. But I realized on life 360, I still am on my ex boyfriend's family plan. And I realized that when they flew out the other day and sometimes life 360 will send you a notification that'll be like, oh, plain just landed at BNA. And it was their whole family. And I was like, oh, interesting. I wonder where they've been. She texted them. Welcome back, guys. Welcome back to Nashville. I just pulled him up right now. It looks like he's at work. Oh, good. He doesn't know that they're still on the line. Oh, no. Eddie. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. We're on a life 360 plan. And I'm like, you dude, I love knowing where she is. I don't have to text her and be like, hey, did you leave the house yet? You know, or like me? Like if I left work, she knows I'm leaving work. I should be home in like, you know, 20 minutes. So it's helpful. But at first, you're right. It's weird. Yeah, because it feels like they're accusing you of something. You don't trust me.
Yeah. And in the end, you can use it way to your advantage. It helps when you've got the partner, like with your kids are on there too. It's just like the whole family, like Eddie is saying, just put everybody on there. So that makes sense. But yeah, if you don't have kids, then it is a little more like, cute as one to know where they are. Okay. That's not funny. It's not funny. I mean, starting to be fit. Lunchbox? No, we don't track. I would never let my wife track me. I don't track her. I trust her 100%. She trusts me. I don't need to know where she is. It's not about trust. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, nothing about trust. There is no need for me to know where my wife is every minute of the day. Sometimes my wife will see me leaving and she'll go, hey, I saw you leaving. I'll have lunch ready for you when you get home. Yes. Like right when you're, because she can just time that out. That's awesome. Do you text your wife like, hey, are you, have you left yet? Like if you're meeting somewhere. No, I'll call her and be like, hey, I'm headed to this spot. Are you on your way? Right, you wouldn't have to do that. Well, maybe you would, but regardless, if you did nothing wrong, she's not accusing you of anything.
And also there are 17 ways you can use it to your advantage. Yes. To do things wrong and not get caught. Look at the pros of the... Yeah, you can do things wrong and not get caught. Play video games. Do all kinds of stuff. Do all kinds of stuff. Just do it, dude. If you're good, just do it. All right, there you go. Close it up. Yes, baby balls. I'm anxious to hear this. Everybody has a parenting tip to pass along to me. All right, let's go. Eddie, you want to go first? Sure, I'd love to. Go ahead. I think before anything happens, and you could do it today, you can do it this week, whatever, you need to send an email to the tooth fairy. And communicate with the tooth fairy early on what the price of a tooth is going to be. Because... I can't create some... some static in your relationship. I think there has been times when the tooth fairy wasn't communicated to and gave an amount that was ridiculous. That's why I'm choosing my words carefully.
Right, and then it became a problem later because the tooth fairy is not going to go back on the amount. It's only going to go up from that amount. So I would think you nip it in the bud now, send the email to the tooth fairy as soon as possible and establish the price of a tooth. That's my advice. Not bad. Okay. Good luck. Okay. Do you have the her address? Oh, yeah. I'll 40 to you. The tooth fairy is a girl, right? Yeah, but I'm sure of that. Because every fairy is a girl. No, the rock. Okay. That's a man. That's Hollywood, fair enough. Yes. What about Tinkerbell, girl or boy? Girl. Girl. Girl. Okay, so every fairy is a girl. I think there are boy fairies. Y'all are being sexist. Do you know the email address doesn't say? I just always thought the tooth fairy was a girl. Mine was always a boy. Oh, mine was a girl. Mine was a girl. Mine was a girl. I just assumed all fairies are girls. Huh. Like a fairy princess. Well, you know what assuming? I never heard about a fairy prince.
Well. Amy, what advice do you have for me? When you need to get your child's full attention, just turn off the Wi-Fi. I'm saying that's a good one, Amy. That'll get him. And now there's even more tied to Wi-Fi these days, what's streaming is how you watch most things or video games. It's not just like on their tablets or whatever. At what age do I need to implement this? I feel like at whatever age you start introducing Billy's to technology. Yeah, I would say you said. It was just one you can keep in your back pocket. Okay, so email the two's very first thing. But I have to do that before I shut the Wi-Fi down. Yes, they're all the more vulnerable. They won't let go through. You shut the Wi-Fi down. It's temporary. It's just something that you use as a tactic to like smoke them out. And don't tell them to smoke. And don't tell them where the Wi-Fi is.
Like the ball. Yeah, they'll never ask, but don't tell them. Okay. Okay. Lunchbox. Never teach your kid how to read the speed limit or the speedometer. Because then all you hear is dad, you're speeding. Dad, that, that, that, that, it says 45 dad, you're going 47. It is the most annoying thing in the world. Awful mistake. Terrible. So don't show them where it, more so than don't teach them how to read that. Don't show them where it is. Correct. God. Where they go, what it means. Yeah, like they see the sign on the side of the road. And then they can read it on your car. And they're like, oh, dad, that said 45. You're a says 47. I felt like this one's very personal. That's all they do. That's all they do. It's all they do. And all three of them do it. And it's just, they think it's so funny. It's really annoying. Are you speeding a bunch? 47. And then you got to explain them. Well, there's a grace. You can go like five over. And it's okay. Got it. Okay. So to the very Wi-Fi, no speed limits. Scoob-a-steep. Do you have any advice as a parent you'd like to pass along to me? I guess mine is mostly about like when you're buying products.
I don't know if you're still at this point where it feels like you buy something to buy something else to fix the problem that for the first problem. I need you to break that down for me. So like, for example, like in my wife's culture, they don't do baby wipes. And by culture, you mean the Filipino lifestyle. And maybe it's other people Asian cultures in general. Then baby wipes, because baby wipes cause diaper rash. And to fix diaper rash, you have to buy diaper cream. But you never had diaper wash. If you never used the diaper, baby wipes. So we don't use diaper wipes. We just did sink. So whenever I keep a go number two, number one, we straddle them over the sink, turn it on. And it holds their legs underneath the water. And rinse them off. But they never ever ever had diaper rash. Ever. What, even at the store you would just do the sink? We go to the family bathroom. No, no, no, no. We go to the sink, turn it on and rinse them off. No. How do you guys feel about that? Absolutely. Absolutely. It's like the dressing. They don't have diaper rash. I don't want it to be. That's good for you, bad for all of us. That's great. No, I put all over my hands. You didn't wash your hands. It doesn't matter. So what is your advice then? Because I got lost in the actual advice.
My advice is in general, you'll look at things that have problems, but look at the root. Because usually whatever you're using is causing the problem to then buy something else to fix the problem. But if you never used the first product, you never have the problem in the first place. Mostly go natural on a lot of things. Okay, so it all boils down to go natural on everything. Yeah. It kind of grows to put a baby in a public sink, right? Watch the proper baby. Yes. Listen, I ain't shaming. Is it like splattering? I'm not shaming, Scoob. I'm just curious. Well, look at home. You do a cup, a table, a cup and a cup would rinse them off. But at a public place, you just put them on a sink. Okay. I've written three of these down to keep. Scoob also, thank you. Bob and Moan show. Bob and Moan show. Bob and Moan show. Bob and Moan show. Bob and Moan show. Bob and Moan show. Bob and Moan show. This story comes from Key West, Florida. A 40 year old man got pulled over for speeding. The police officer walks up to the vehicle, says, excuse me, sir. You know why I pulled you over today? Probably because I've been drinking, officer. Oh, well, no, actually I pulled you over for speeding, but oh, dang.
Why don't you step out of the car and you got a D. You are? Damn, they got him. Oh, no, man. What did he do that? He was drinking. That's why I did it, too. It's not just what he was doing. That's why he said that. Damn, got him. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? Yeah, I'm his uncle. Yeah. This woman donated a million dollars to local teachers. A million dollars. Whoa. A one million dollar personal donation. Her name is Maja. She gave each of the districts 100 teachers the check for $9,100. Like, oh, yeah. Damn. That's crazy. Teachers say the unexpected money will help with expenses for themselves and their families. She hopes her gift encourages others to support public education. From KRON for a cron for. Yes, she gave a million bucks. Every teacher got $9,100. That's something she didn't check out of nowhere. Even the bad teachers. Yeah, that's true. You know what? Interesting.
That's what I get in mind, guys. Even the ones that aren't very good. Yeah, the lazy ones. That's cool, man. Should they got less? No, no, it's an even split. Yeah. Everyone's there. Yeah. I did not one part of me thought bad teachers are good teachers. Well, my thought process was, you know, like, when you give the teacher something, you're like, oh, you know, they're such a good teacher. Let's get them a gift and a school year gift or whatever. But the bad ones, I'm sure sometimes they're like, I can't get them anything. Well, great story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived. And I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart. And these are the survivor files. You just remember this low taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who lived through the unthinkable.
I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the iCI art radio app Apple podcast If you're a bookshelf and you're for your page or equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is pros society. The weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks pride and prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story.
I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters and that is a Trojan horse, whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to pro society on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a way to a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinierro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility.
Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That call was really pivotal for me. Hey, it's Emily Tish Sussman and this season on She Pivots, the podcast where women share bold career moves and personal turning points that changed everything. I sit down with culture shifting women who share their pivots like Para Olympian Allie Truett. I was like, I'm a month out from a shark attack. There's no way in 11 months I'm making the very little index. Advocate Elizabeth Smart. I still feel that drive that I can still make a difference so I'm going to keep going. Celebrity chef Carla Hall was that scary to walk away from such a stable career after
just two years? No, I was more afraid of being unhappy than I was broke and in a dead and job that I didn't enjoy. And feminist legend, Gloria Steinem. All of us were trying to express women's real lives. We need a meeting place of our own and if I can contribute to that, I'd like to maintain that and leave this house for that purpose. Listen to sheep hivots on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Self-care September is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means. Yes, self-care can be a long walk. It can be an everything shower. It can be putting your phone on, do not disturb. But sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff. And understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out while you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Gemis Begg, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s podcast. And each week we unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s, from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more
comfortable with who you are. Unlike the quarter life crisis which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something. When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHot Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Bobby Bones show now. Lauren Alina. Lauren, welcome back to the show. Thank you. We're celebrating today you have any album out. Wow, stages. Is it exciting? It's exciting. It's very exciting. It's been like four or five years since I put an app out. Really? So yeah. I didn't know if this day would come. I knew it would come, but I'm just glad it's here. So you have like 17 songs? That's a lot of songs. There's a lot of songs. I mean, I've been recorded for four years. I recorded more and we picked our favorites. We had to... Weed. How many did you record? If you had to guess.
23 probably. How many do you think you had written for the record? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Is more than 23? Way more. Yeah. How do you decide? Some of them like we know immediately. It's a little different for every song. I cut some outside songs too, so songs I didn't write. So I pretty much know like first listen on those. And like if I write them, sometimes I have to live with them and decide if they're good enough. And I have a whole team that helps me and now my husband thinks he gets to choose too. So we have a lot of people who weigh in on it. Have you ever been recording a song? And you're doing vocals on it, you know, first, second, third, past. And you're just like, I don't like to song anymore. Like while recording it. Yeah. I have. Usually when I've just written it though, and I don't tell the songwriters that. But... And I have recorded in the studio. We had one song for this record that we cut. It was a song I did not write. And when I went to sing the vocals, because you do that at different times, you cut with
the band. Well, you can do it while you're with the band, but I typically cut with the band and then they'll put like a rough mix together of that. And I sing to that on a different day. And we went to sing the song. I think I sang the chorus a couple of times and I was like, the song is not. You sing feeling. And I didn't even finish it. Yeah. One song. And I will not say because the people that wrote the song are very proud of it. But first some reason, we just like cut it. Honestly, I'll tell you, it was a male. It was a song written for a man and we were going to flip it to be female. And it just felt so weird when I was singing it. I was like, this does not work. Head over boots. Yes, that's the one. That's what I thought. And then John just kept, yeah. That's the one. How did you know? Yeah, I just know stuff. We're down right now. He put it out and it had friends in the industry. You know, they tell me stuff. So yeah, congratulations. Thank you. Album is out. Will you play a song for us? Sure. It'd be weird if she said no because there's literally musicians in the room with her. You know we're going to do it. Will you introduce your band?
Yes. And then, actually, not in my band. But today, you're back. Today in my band, my typical guitar player is Tiko and he is in Ireland with his dad. So, Dane is here. He works for Came Brown, by the way. And then, this is McCoy. He was always with us on a little drum set. What are you going to play? We're going to do a song called Better Off. It's one of my favs on the album. We put it out and it's literally, when we play it live, hands down like one of the top three songs in the set and we have singles in there too. So, with your guitar, we play it. It's fun. It's really fun. All right, the album. I'm really seeing really loud, warning everyone. Okay. Okay. We'll turn her mic off. She'll come through. She'll come through our mics. So, this is Better Off. This is from Lauren's new album that is out now. Here we go. Whenever you guys are ready. Oh, I'm sorry. We can't post the live performance on the podcast. But if you go to our YouTube page, you can watch it there or maybe listen live.
Okay. All right. Now back to the podcast. Lauren, Elaine, nice studio. Wow. That's Better Off. Her album is out now. I have so many questions. Because you nailed that. What if? Or do you ever just like, why did I write a song? It is so hard to sing. I only did one like this. You nailed it. And I wouldn't ask if you didn't nail it. But that song, I got to feel like if you had a sore throat or a cough. I have to pray really hard about it when I don't feel well. Yes. Actually, so on this record, when I recorded the Roadless Traveled album, every song is in the stratosphere. When we play them, I'm like, did I ever think about a live show when I recorded this album? So when I do my albums now, I save my moments and this song is my moment on this record. It's a heck of a moment. Where I like really sing. But I guess if I couldn't like sing that really big note, we would skip it. What would we do? It hasn't happened yet.
Yeah. We could just make it a musical thing and go right back into the song. Solo. No. No. And I wouldn't ask it if you didn't actually annihilate that live. But I'm thinking, does she write all of her songs to be this hard to sing all the time? But anymore, I used to. But I like to show off every once in a while. You also don't have to prove yourself as a vocalist anymore. Do you feel like the comfortability in that that you don't have to prove? Because now we know that every song you don't have to prove you're the best. When I signed it big loud, Joey Moy actually said to me, just because you can hit every note that we would ever ask you to, doesn't mean you have to do it every time because you're also a stylist. You don't just have to be the powerhouse vocalist, which was, first of all, the best day of my life because my 90-minute sets get a whole lot better for me and probably better for my voice, you know, than singing that constantly. But yeah, Joey kind of pushed me to do that, which I think was so great. And I get to sing like different sounding songs now too.
Like all my exes is not a hard song to sing. And before I would have tried to probably make some trick in there somewhere and you just don't always have to do the trick. Did you do any mom songs on this album? I have a song called Heavensant on the album that I wrote about my daughter and my dad. She, I found out I was pregnant with her two months after he passed away and it was very, it was a big surprise. And so the song basically says that my dad sent her to help me feel better. And, you know, it's so funny. Genetics are so wild because she never met him and she never, you know, talked to him or interacted with him and she has, she makes faces that look so much like him. And I'm sure I make them and I don't realize it, but it's really nice to have like a little piece of him, you know. It's really cool. Is that why that song is last on the record? Yeah. I'm sorry I'm getting upset.
It's so awkward. I don't know that it's upsetting. It's emotional and there's a difference. Yeah. So I don't think. But I ended the song, I start the record with a song that I sing with my brother because he asked me a couple of years ago. He works at Costco in my hometown and thank you, McCoy. I paid too much for this makeup. It's not even tissue. That's Arkansas tissue. It's a paper towel. It's a paper towel. Don't just take me straight back to Rothfield Georgia with this paper towel. A lot of ways. Anyway, I start the record with a song with my brother and I end the record with a song for my dad. So, well, so hold on. He works at Costco in your hometown and he came to me. He loves to sing. Tyler, right? Yeah. Okay. He sings in his church choir. He sings in church every Sunday. He sang at the opera with me a couple of times, but he loves to sing. He's just very shy. I soaked up every bit of the outgoing personality in the house. So he was the quiet one. But he came to me a couple of years ago and said, I know, you know, I work at Costco and
you have a label in all of these things, but I would really love to record a song with you one day, even if we never released it. And so I actually wrote, it's called babies raising babies and I wrote it about him and his wife and we recorded it together. And the time, it's kind of crazy because I wrote it four years ago and then, you know, I got married and I had been in the album release, moved significantly. And now that we have this song out and I'm also raising a baby, it's kind of crazy the way the timing worked out. And yeah, you'll have to listen to it. I'm so proud. I say sing it, Bubba, before the second verse and like, that's my favorite part because then he sings and he's so good. He's actually so good. He's just really shy. So we're working on that. But he's been singing in church every Sunday for a couple of years now and it's really helped him with his stage fright and stuff. Yeah, he sang it the opera and my dad played guitar and I'm so thankful now that we have that memory. That's cool. What a great picture. Uh-huh.
Thank you. So anyway, yeah, this record for me, I have a couple, you asked if there was a song about Benny, but I went off on a tangent about this song for me is really personal for so many reasons, not just about motherhood, about my dad and my family and everything in general. The album is out. It's stages. Lauren Elena. All my exes is on it. The song you did with Kane is on it. The song with your brother at the very beginning and then the final song, which is about your daughter. Yeah, that's super cool. A great to see Lauren. Thank you. I hope everything you went from this album happens. It's been a long time. I know. I can you believe me. It's been a long time. Call it a comeback, ladies and gentlemen. I'm so serious. I thought I was about to have to go get a job at Costco with my brother. And now I'm like knocking on the door of having another number one in this album is just crazy. But the last year of my life has changed significantly in so many amazing ways. So also, Lauren's going on our cruise with us next year. That's right. I forgot.
I've never been on a cruise. I had it until we did the one last year. I am very anxious about the cruise. I was too. How is it? It's massive. Okay. Meaning when I walked down. Don't be like, no, no, I'd never been on one either. I'm afraid I'm going to be like claustrophobic. My family is a cruise family though. I've just never gone. So they're all like, we're going. All of your fears were my fears. And I get in and it looks like a hotel inside of it. It's stories and stories and elevators. It's so big that same. I got as I got to know about this. And it's really cool. I will say, like, you know, we play a couple of shows while we're there, but they told me I get to do like interactive games with the fans on the boat. And I'm like, this is why I'm going. This is my moment. I'm excited to sing. But also what I got to like pick. I think I picked like a sushi roll class where I get to learn how to make sushi rolls with people. They did that. Yeah. I did that last year. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. Yeah. You come on that cruise with us.
It's top shelf country cruise. If you want to come, Lauren's going to be there. I forgot all about that. And her album stages out now. Lauren, great to see you. Good to see you guys. Great job. As always. There she is. Lauren Elaine, everybody. The Bobby Boom Show. Do you have a lucky number? One that you consider a lucky number at all? No. None. Not anything at all. No. Nothing comes to mind. Because I don't believe in lucky numbers. But if you said what your lucky number I would have one is three. Why even know yours is three? Really? Really? Huh? I feel like over the years. I, if you were to say Amy, what's my lucky number? I would have said three. Interesting. And I'm sure it's been discussed before. If we do pick a number one through ten though, I don't do three. You pick four. Yeah. I know that. But three has always been kind of a lucky number. Yeah, we know you pick four. I, you know, uh, you're forced to pick one now because of something in your life. Two, two, two. Why? You forced me to pick. Oh, fair enough. I just forced her. Yeah. For that to matter a lot of times though, like picking number one through ten, what your lucky number two to two, sorry you're out.
Right here, yeah. Well, then I guess I would just go with two. Mm hmm. If it's one through ten. Crazy. You don't have something that you just feel like would be a lucky number. Yeah, I don't have a favorite color either. Wild. Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah. You just like them all. What does this say about me? I have no lucky number, no favorite color. I mean, have colors I don't like. I'm blown away that you know, a favorite color. You know mine? Red. Yeah. Wow, you know, a favorite color. What would you say if you, okay, I'm forcing you to pick one. What would it be? Like charcoal. Charcoal like you're such a weirdo. Like two, 22 and charcoal. Not, not black, black, you know, but gray black. I didn't know that about you. That's so interesting. You don't have a favorite lucky number or favorite color. Wow. I mean, I'm sure over the years I've, I've out of necessity had to pick a color. And so that's probably why if it wasn't charcoal then, it's why. Because I don't have a consistent favorite number.
I mean, I'm sure I love, I love lavender. Uh, uh, you have a hated color? Yeah, I don't really like primary colors. What's happening here? Like I don't like red that my, I do, I like certain shades of red. Like your Arkansas red, that is doable to me, but like a bright ketchup red, which is weird because I love ketchup, but like ketchup mustard and, um, like those colors, I don't like, and like bright blue. Mm-hmm. I'm so interested after all these years we've been together over 20 years. I did not know this about you. Yeah. Uh, do you have a lucky number, Eddie? Oh, easy. You probably know it. 21. That's it. Yeah. 21. I only know it because he gambles. Yeah, that's my roulette number every single time. I do not play roulette without putting money on 21. And like I've had football numbers. Like, plan, it was 89 my whole life. My cousin was 87 and I always looked up to him when he played. He was older cousin, not my double cousin, another cousin, and they didn't have it. So I got 89 because I was a wide receiver, but I never considered that a lucky number. And I always thought people that wore their football numbers were kind of lame from high school, not from college. Shout out to people like college, from all that respect.
And then my baseball number was 17 because I love Mark Grace. But even then it was like, not lucky. There's always been three. I can't believe you know that's a favorite color. Yeah, that's hot. So you have 21. 21. And then you have favorite color. Depends on the day, but I go blue most of the time. Depends? Yeah, that's not a favorite then. I like blue green. Can that be a color because I like blue green? Blue green can be a color. But sometimes I like blue. Sometimes I like green. Am I the crazy one? What's that? No, I think most people have a favorite color. I feel odd. Lucky number? Yeah, 12. Why? Taylor Swift? She's 13. She's 13, man. Don't be like me crazy. No, it's just one of the ones. She is? Yeah. But Dean Reno is 13. When I play roulette, that's one of the ones that I hit. And that is my sister's number growing up playing sports and also forest number growing up playing sports. Hold on. And you picture best friends number playing sports is your favorite lucky number? And your sister's number one. What's your number? No, no, it's one of the one track they didn't get numbers.
And in soccer, I had number two, but it's not my lucky number. I don't play it when I'm gambling. I don't play it on the roulette wheel. You two are gambling. No, he played soccer, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But in high school. Yeah, I played soccer. I played cross country round, but no, a lot more, right? And you're better. I don't know. I mean, no one ever talked about in playing soccer. People talk about him being a good runner. Yeah, I mean, we made the regional finals. We were one game away from this. Hang on, Corrico. Let's go. Yeah. You're really good. Your roar was tied. What? What happened? Yeah, yeah. Tell the go. No, we lost a belt in an overtime. What happened? They beat us an overtime. You can carry them to victory? Did all I could, man, we, it was a tough game. That's a bad one. There was a bad off-sides call that really cost us. But that's okay. What color was your team? Blue. Blue and gold. We were red. Of course. Yeah, we have blue shirts or white shirts, really as well. So you were number two. Yeah, lucky number two. Both of you guys are both for gambling. Yeah, well, my lucky number is 12.
12 for gambling. My jersey number was two. Oh, I got it. I'm going to confuse you. And Taylor Swift is 13. Correct. Don't forget it. Got it. So 12. Yep. Is there a reason? Yeah, when I was a kid, I loved camouflage. Wanted to be in the army. That's a good reason. Because of camouflage, so I painted my room green. When you had bookshelves and everything, you had that little sticky paper you put on it. I don't even know what you call it. But I put camouflage. Then I found out you'd have to go like to war and stuff, so I just stuck with green and war. Yeah. And stuff. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. That makes sense, though. I decided, I'm not going to go with army. I'm going to just stick with green as my favorite color, but I'm going to leave that to other people. I made it because of your shoulder problem. Like allowed in or made it through war. No, well, that too. But I mean, I don't think they would have accepted you. They'd be like, grab the gun. It's like, I can't lift it up. I put it over your head. Get the rocket launcher. I can't lift it up. Yeah, so I said, I'm out on that. I learned about you guys. I had no idea that you guys, we have favorite colors and favorite numbers.
It was where Amy's the artist. You're not worse. You're just different. I understand. That's what I was told all my life. You're not worse. It's different. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Yeah, it's something good. Just a little personal one for me. So I've been doing this show. It's called Lots to Say. It's an NFL podcast. Like they hired us. And it's kind of weird for me because most of the shows that I do, I have some sort of ownership in at this point. That one I don't at all. I'm just a hired employee, but I thought it's called work for the NFL. So yeah, let's do it. It's a good amount of work. We have a lot of fun and Matt Castle, who played quarterback for the Patriots and for the Chiefs is my partner and went good. And I would say the show does pretty well. It's not up there with Kelsey Brothers or anything, but it does pretty well. This audio numbers, I never see video. And so for a long time, they had us on like a NFL network YouTube. I had a few million YouTube subscribers.
We got moved over to the actual NFL YouTube page with 16 million subscribers now. Follow it. We moved our show over to the 16 million page. Wow. That's what you have to be like that surprise. Just to be my own list of rights. No, I just be mildly not not not well that y'all got moved, but well, they have 16 million followers. Okay, that feels better than yeah, yeah. The tone just felt like she was a little too surprised. No, no, no, sorry for the confusion. We found yesterday we found out because we were going, where is it now? We can't find it on like the NFL network because that's what we were and they have a pretty good following. And they moved it over to the app in FL on YouTube. Wow. 16 million. Pretty cool. That's all I know what's really cool. Sometimes I'm watching the NFL network and you guys come up on the crawl on the bottom. They're like Bobby and Matt talked about whatever. It's like that's awesome. Yeah, it's been great. I definitely took less money to do that job because it was the NFL and I don't own this show, but this is I work with the NFL. I'm basically NFL player and okay, employee employee. Yeah, okay, okay. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. And now time for the morning corny.
The morning corny. What do you call two apples right next to each other? I don't like this one. Oh, we're listening. No, I don't like it. Do that. Come on. Do that. Do that. It's just better written. What is it? A pair. But you're right. It like a pair. A pair. That's good. Maybe best ever. A-r. Like the fruit. A pair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A pair. That's a good one, Amy. No, I know. Maybe the best one you've done. No, you're probably saying it like a pair. It's just not. It's not. It's not. It's not. Because it needs to be like you seem to see a pair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give us the other one then. Why do you call a polite skateboarder? We need to read this one or what? A roll model? Hmm. Ah, it works. Woo! I like a pair better. It works. What do you call two bad jokes in a row?
Morning, good morning, Amy. Yeah! All right, close it out again, Raybo Doe. That was the morning corny. When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low-taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. They're stories about what it takes to make it out alive.

On the new podcast, Solita, we share the message and the reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus, or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Bignero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is, and not the lies your soul about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip,
I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yes, self-care can be a long walk, it can be an everything shower, it can be putting your phone on do not disturb, but sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff. And understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out why you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Jenna Speg, the host of the psychology of your 20s podcast and each week we unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more comfortable with who you are. Unlike the quarter life crisis which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something. When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your
20s on the iHot Radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. The Bobbi bone show. Alright, voice Naomi. Morning, show. Just calling about the segment where lunchbox is talking about not locking his house, etc, etc. I thought of a good idea, he said you can't afford the cameras. He can DM Bobby so that on Tuesday, Bobby can select him to pay for the ring cam for his house. Love this show. Long time listener. You're not listening correctly. I never say anything about not being able to afford them. It's I don't believe in them. That's it. Right. You don't believe in cameras. I don't believe in the ring doorbell camera. I feel like it's an invasion of privacy and I don't like it. And so I won't get one. That's it. It's nothing about being able to afford it. I don't know how much a ring doorbell camera is. Probably 50 bucks. Actually not that bad. They're pretty awesome. I feel like they're pretty affordable if everybody has one. So I just don't believe in them. So that's why so I wouldn't DM Bobby for something that I didn't want. But yeah, thanks for listening,
man. I appreciate it. And no change on your no security habits. No. I've had people offer to do a what do you call it? A security assessment of my house. Well, that's easy. That fail. Zero. Fail. I think I'm good on that. I think I'm alright. Okay. So you don't want that because I was going to get maybe get you that for giving Tuesday. No, I'm good, man. You can give it to someone that needs it. All right. There you go. Thank you. Call us anytime with a voicemail. 87777 Bobby. All right. Voice mail. Yeah. When you were talking about the country music people that lunchbox creeped out and he couldn't guess the last one and he blurted out Gabby Barrett. And then y'all kept it moving. And Amy was like, well, what does you do to creep out Gabby Barrett? If lunchbox thinks he creeps somebody out, we need to know what even he thinks creeps somebody out. Because
he's obviously embarrassed. He wouldn't even tell y'all. I'm on. You got to let us know. Must have missed that. I'm happy to sit with this for a second. What did you do to creep out Gabby Barrett? Because we were talking about the artist that you freaked out and creeped out. And you did go Gabby Barrett. Well, yeah, because you said American Idol. That's the only person I could think of that was on American Idol. But if you ever creeped out Gabby Barrett, not that I know of, I have no idea. Like not that not to buy knowledge. Nothing has been to brought to my attention that I creeped around in any way. It was just Bobby said it was a female. And she won second place on American Idol. And I was like, man, only one I think of that's been on American Idol was Gabby Barrett. So I had no story of creeping her out. It's just I went with American Idol. And I don't know if she won second place. I have no idea. I think it was during the same A interviews. Oh, I mean, I have no idea that creep her out. I'm digging scuba. Yeah, I think it was remember you were asking people that weird question and it even got to like management with it. Like is lunchbox gonna be doing interviews this year? Yeah, I'm asking the question. Do you want to pee out of your nose? Yeah, that's what it was with somebody that yeah, that's that. I do that
sometimes. But it's like, I mean, I don't know that I I really don't know that I can't crap the whatever what do you call creeped out? Gabby Barrett, but maybe I did and maybe she'll tell us one day, but nobody think you've creeped out the most if you had to put number one all-time Mount Rushmore of you creeping artists out. Oh, man, that's tough. Probably Gwen Stefani when I did that thing. That touched her. We're not trying to like take a picture with her and they said no touching. What about when you were like harassing Lane Wilson at the doctor's office? No, that one creeping out. That was just like a mutual friend seeing each other in a parking garage and chatting it up and her introducing me to her fiance at the time now husband. Yeah. And saying, oh, you know, so you got your kids with you? Yeah. Oh, man, I gotta go. Did you call like big dog or something because you didn't know your name? I thought that was you she said. Yeah, that was you. Yeah, so I don't think I creeped out at all, but remember, Dottry was going to beat you up on the street. Yeah. Yeah. And then I remember there was another person that at the CMA interviews,
pulled scuba aside and said, we don't want lunchbox interview in this person. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Girl, the guy guy guy who C.J. Yep. I don't know who that is. Cody Johnson. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you didn't want to have fun in the interview. He wanted to see. He's an interview. But lunchbox. Yep. Anybody but him but me. Lunchbox had sent in a piece of show prep from that CMA remote. I'm looking at it now. He wants to ban Gabby Barrett from our show. Gabby Barrett had no idea who I was and she needs to get with it. Oh, first thing she said, whereas Bobby, super rude. Don't act like we aren't good enough to interview you. Second, she had no idea. My name was lunchbox Morgan said lunchbox and she was confused. Banner from our show, she didn't know who I was. Doesn't she realize I'm more famous than her? That's what he wrote. Okay. I kind of remember the interview. I remember Morgan saying, like, yeah, lunchbox and she's like, who's lunchbox? What's what are you talking about? And then lunchbox like what? And she did say, where's Bobby? I mean, it's just a weird thing to start out
an interview with. Like it was pee out your nose or poop out your ear and that was after Megan Moroni who was also creeped out by him. Oh my gosh. Oh, so I asked that to Megan Moroni. I wonder what she said. Not sure what response I got, but I would definitely rather poop out my ear. Here's something else that same day. Was my would you rather question inappropriate to Megan Moroni? She was mortified. Like I asked her the worst question of all time, telling me you can't ask that. Oh, that was her response. See, there you go. Like I don't understand why can't you ask that? Like it's a funny conversation. It's a dinner conversation that you have around the dinner. I don't know. I don't know. I feel like the Gabby stuff followed us to Vegas because Oh, no, that was after Vegas. The the CMA was after Vegas. Yeah. Okay. Why are you making that song? Well, because I was a very awkward moment. We were supposed to intro her on stage. And we were there. I mean, and it's a lot like to get down there. Like it was a whole thing.
We got high as men. And then all of a sudden, they're like, she just walks out. And so I was like, what? We just came all the way here for nothing. And I thought it was because of lunchbox. Probably was. Did you not know who he was? Do you know lunchboxes? Fried didn't know. No, no, I know. That's okay though. Yeah. Most artists can't listen to the show. They could. They can't. You don't even look up when they bring the interview. Like you don't even look off your computer. You play your games. Sometimes. Yeah. I'll say hi when they're walking. They sit down. All right. Okay. So I guess we got to the kind of crux of the Gabby Barrett stuff. Thank you for the voicemail there. Fine, sir. Appreciate that. Guys, leave us voicemails anytime. 877-77-Bobby. Shit. voicemail. I wanted to know if you would give a little bit of advice to my nephew. He is on the fence as to whether or not to play football next year. I think you decided he's going to. Last I think I thought I'd tell him he was on the fence. My advice to him was to give it a year
and try and see what he thinks. School ball is so different from, you know, the bleaks before that. I just wanted to get your take on and see what you had to say about it or weigh in on. Thanks, Bob. You love the show. Yeah. School balls are different for sure. I just want to know if he's nervous about it or he really doesn't want to do it. Like, is he nervous about it and that makes him not want to do it? Or does he really just not want to do it? If he's nervous about it, I would encourage him to do it and do it for a year. And I think you can even make a deal with him. It doesn't have to be one of those. If we sign up, we do it for the whole year. You can make a deal of like, you give me half of the season. If you are already worried about it. Oh, really? Well, if he's made, if the dad's making him do it, yeah, if the kid wants to do it, is like, I want to sign up then you go, we don't stop. We don't quit. But if he's really torn about it, I don't think there's anything wrong with him getting in to see if it's for him. Yeah. And how old is he? Enough you fans. Advice, school ball. It probably has to be like ninth or tenth grade. If I'm guessing just by the clues I'm getting, because that's when you first probably sort of play school football or junior high. I think, I think they need to find
out what it's like first because the whole idea of like, oh, I want to play football. You can't find out until you're in it. I know. So get in it. And then if you don't like it, don't play next year, the year after that. Oh my, like my kid, the one that played one or play football, he wanted to play so bad. And he played for two years. And now he's just like, no, why would I ever want to play football? I would think in this situation, he should play if part of him wants to play. If he's nervous about playing, he should play. And if he is absolutely miserable halfway through, I think it's okay. And I'm not a quitter. I think it's okay for him to go this ain't for me because you're doing this together. If it's a him first going, I want to play then he wants to quit. That's different. No, we commit to something. We finish something. I don't think this is that. I think he'll like it. It sounds like he's just nervous about it because kids are bigger, more official. For me, playing high school football taught me so much about diversity. It was, it taught me life skills that I'm so happy that I have a being part of a team. I had a great football coach who wasn't about football to me who again, I didn't have a father figure a lot of my life. He served as that in a lot of ways
when he didn't even know it. So a kid's not going to care about those things, but I would encourage him get in the mix. Go for a few weeks, see if you like it. Shake the nerves. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, I agree with Tweet. You all are saying when it comes to sports. Do you think it's different though when I'm saying I think it's okay for him to jump out if he hates it? Because I don't want to be the guy's like you can quit anything because you can't. Because it's different when you make them do it. You know, like when you're like you go in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It doesn't seem fair. Okay, so I'm not crazy, right? No, no, no, no. Okay. I hope he plays and you can play this form. I think if you're thinking about it and you're nervous, man, there are going to be so many thinking in your life you're nervous about. And if you back out of everything that you're nervous about, you're going to do anything. And sometimes the best, best, best, best fit stuff in life. For me, have always been things that I've been nervous about before I did it. So go get it. It's a kid. You can't get it. It's a hit. You can get the hits or all the man that hits a harder for sure. The hits are harder. All right, thank you for the voicemail. Anytime you want to call us, you guys leave a voicemail. 877-77 Bobby.
