Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two. Hey, guys,
thanks for taking the time to listen. It's Morgan number
two here and I'm counting down the best seven bits
of the week based on y'all's engagement from social media,
online calls from seven to one, and along the way,
I'm bringing on Lunchbox to come and talk with me

(00:23):
about a bunch of things that happened this week. He's
going to give his input on things. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I got a question. We're not even there yet, we're
still the intro, but I got a question on the intro.
Why is it? I mean countdown. I've never seen a
top seven, so why do you do seven bits? You know,
I don't know, you don't know. I just wonder. I
just wondered if it was like, oh, you know, usually

(00:45):
there's a top ten or a top five, but top seven.
I didn't know if you were trying to like start
this new thing where we do top sevens, like top song,
top seven songs in the nineties, top seven song or
you know, top seven songs of the two top ten
is a lot in top five doesn't feel like enough.
So maybe it's just like the in between Okay, happy medium.

(01:07):
I just had that question. I wanted to get that
out there in the intro so people, some other people
have that questions. So I appreciate Boom. But that's our
guest for today. He'll be coming on for a few
of my segments. But first up, we've got Travis Dinning.
He was back on the show this week after he
came on and played his fiddle a few covers a
few weeks ago. Not only did we get a live performance, though,

(01:29):
we also surprised him with a call from his girlfriend's dad,
who is also known as country artist John Michael Montgomery.
It was so funny listening to the two of them
talk about their lives and obviously Travis dating his daughter.
It was just so fun So here we go. Let's
listen back to this interview number seven, the Friday Morning
Conversation with Travis Dunning. Before I introduced Travis, let me

(01:53):
play you a clip of his number one song after
a few but after that song, massive song heard on
the radio all the time, but took forever to get
to number one, like one point two years, I think
is what you said, literally yeah, which may be the
longest in history. It is the longest run to number

(02:13):
one and the longest on the country chart. Did you
make even more money because it took longer? Um, a
little bit more, I've been the money hasn't all come
in yet, Like it's usually like nine months behind. But
now it's all been. It's all been really good. I've
been pretty happy with it. He's gonna play his new
song coming up in a second. I'd be pretty happy

(02:34):
with it too. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's been great.
Be honest with you, hey, I mean the slow climb
is good for song run. Travis is in studio again.
He's in a few weeks ago, but he came in.
I just called to come play your banjo up here,
and so I said, in exchange, come in and promote
your new song whenever you're ready. And you're gonna do
a song called Abbey in a minute, which is not
about a girl named Abby. No, it's about anybody, but

(02:55):
you get it. Yeah, it's an anagram or an anagram acronym. Yeah, yeah,
one of those. So what is your current girlfriend think
about you writing a song about another girl that's not her? Well,
I got lucky roth about that. I actually did not
write this song. The only song of cut I didn't write,
so that's good. But now she you know, she she

(03:15):
gets it. She's the Abbey, she's anybody but you. But yeah,
it's a little weird. It wasn't first I saw you
post on Instagram a really sweet message to her for
her birthday. You guys have been together two years. Yeah,
two years, and you were like, oh, maybe it wasn't
her birthday. Maybe it was just celebrating the university. Yeah,
we just yeah, we've been dad for like two years.
And how has that been. It's been wonderful, honestly great,

(03:36):
And even during the pandemic, I feel like we've just
gotten closer and I mean have had a great time.
I feel like we haven't really butt heads that hard.
So I guess that's been like the ultimate test of like,
you know, when we first started dating, I was on
the road all the time, and then now I'm not
on the road at all, but we still getting long.
Pretty will And so she is, and we've mentioned this
on the show before. She's a daughter of John Michael

(03:58):
Montgomery Country Musical. Does he ever give you advice or
tell you, hey, dummy, don't do this or don't do that?
From when he learned. Oh. Absolutely. We've talked a lot
about music, um, and it's it's so interesting, like going
through things right now and I bring it up to
him and he just laughs because he's like, yeah, I
mean I went through the same thing. You know. He
he called me when I got the ACM nomination and
just him talking about when he was nominated for things

(04:21):
and what it takes to get there, and it was
It's really cool. Every conversation ultimately turns into like a
fishing conversation though. He's like, hey, as congrats, So did
you get that new transducer on the front of your boat.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I did, you know? And then
we just talk about that. What's the best and worst
thing about having him as a father in law future
father in law? Getting The best thing? Um, I think

(04:47):
actually probably the best thing is that Madison totally gets
what I do and gets it. I have to be
gone sometimes be on the road because she grew up
with it and understands it. Worst thing, U, I don't know.
I mean, honestly, I've had a blast getting to know
both for her parents. UM. Sometimes yeah, he just kind
of you like you're talking to him and I just

(05:09):
don't know if he hears you. Hey, come on in, Hey, scoopa, Steve,
we're gonna put We're gonna some paphones on and you.
We didn't realize you can't hear us talking here? All right?
Clip up? Can you hear me? Yeah? I got you
on the phone right now? Is John Michael Montgomery? Hey,
oh man, hey John, who the heck are you? And

(05:29):
what are you doing? My dog? Oh man? Hey, hey,
I forgot to send you a picture. But I caught
some fish on that active target the other day. Oh yeah,
say yeah, man, Well, you know, I'm I'm excited about
you know, we gotta do some fishing trips together, obviously,
but uh, you know, congratulations on your success and everything. Uh,

(05:52):
you know, it's uh, it's fun to watch you and
my son Walker. You know, I being the young guys
y'all are doing everything you're doing like I, you know,
back in my days. But uh, uh more than anything,
I'm impressed with. Uh, I have to admit that right now,
you are. You know, people don't know Travis is a

(06:13):
tremendous athlete. He is the Montgomery Household undefeated ping pong champion.
That is true. I mean, and the only person who's
ever actually beat me a few times is John. Because John, John,
you got that kind of like hustle thing where you're like, oh,
I'm not that good anymore, but you got that hardcore
over the top spin that you throw on it. Well,

(06:36):
you know, I'm kind of throw some old school, you know,
because back in my day, you know, that was unbeatable.
But uh, you know, I was like once I thought
i'd kind of start getting my getting my old young
ways back was you know, you still got me, but
I'm gonna get you forwards with hope. It's happening. It's happening.
So let me ask a couple of questions. John Michael

(06:57):
Montgomery is on with us. When your daughter first goes
half days? This guy Travis, the first time you met Travis,
how did you feel about him? Oh? You know, I
thought he was a really nice young man man, you know,
a very uh wait, raised very well and uh uh
y'all just got to meet his parents other day, and

(07:19):
it confirmed what I thought. You know, I mean, he
comes from a very good family. And and you know,
when your daughter's dating someone, I mean you just you know,
I mean, when you got a daughter, man, you know, wait,
so okay, what's this guy about here? And you know
and everything, but uh now he Travis checks out grade

(07:41):
he Uh, you know, I couldn't be happier. Uh, you know,
I couldn't found a better person to go my daughter
to be, you know, hanging out with. Let me ask
you this, this is obviously just hypothetical, but if someone
wanted to ask you for theirs hand in marriage, do
they need to do it on the phone or in person? Oh?

(08:05):
I think in person, uh would be the best way
to do it. That's the way I would do it.
You know, you kind of what's going that stuff? And
I you know, but uh but you know they need
to bring up uh sack a load of money with them, Yeah,
like a Dowry opposite Dowry and and Noah John, probably
a couple of Stella's, a couple still ARCHI. Yeah, here's

(08:27):
a bunch of money and yeah. Yeah, but now it's uh,
uh you know, it's it's fun to watch I call
them kids still, you know, I mean it's it's funny. Uh.
You know, these these kids are in their twenties now,
but you know, me and the white we still call
them kids, you know, And that's what they'll always be

(08:48):
to but uh, you know it's it's you're always happy
when your kid, Uh, you know, your child finds somebody
else that you feel like is right for them. You know,
when Madison and Travis just seem to really enjoy each
other's company. About your career for a second. Have you
ever been on stage and kind of get caught up

(09:10):
in the lyrics to Sold? Or forgot the lyrics to Sold?
Because there are three hundred and sixty two words in
that song? Like is that a struggle to still remember? Well,
you know, as long as I don't think about it.
If I think about it, it's over with, you know,
I trust me. I have forgotten the words from time
to time, and I learned out very early on in

(09:31):
my career, especially when social media came along. If I
forgot the words or mess up the words I swear
or be my baby to night or sofi here in
the County Oxen the next day on Facebook and all that,
Oh my gosh, can you believe you forgot the words?
I mean, you know, I mean it's it's so you know,
I had to be had to be paying a little

(09:53):
bit more attention from now on, Like, Okay, John but really,
I tell people to eat this song for me to sing.
It's sold because it's going so fast you don't even
think about you know, you just boom boom boom, boom
bom boom, and you know, and uh and then if
I do forget the words, you know, I just aim
to make at as the fans are goal y'all know

(10:13):
this one. Yeah, and uh but that's another thing, you know, Travis.
I got to see him in Action of the night
he played up here Rapperina, and and uh, he his
his uh entertainment skills. I mean, he's he's got everything.
He's he's he's really good, uh, you know, being on
stage and uh, engaging the crowd and everything. So he's

(10:36):
got it going on, Travis, do you feel like you
should learn all of John Michael Montgomery's songs because you
guys are close now, you know. Actually, and I've told
him before, like one of my all time favorite country
songs ever is Letters from Home, So I know that
one front to back. Me and me and John share
a mutual love for Tony Lane, who's like one of

(10:56):
my favorite songwriters ever who wrote that song. So I
do know all the words to Letters from Home. When,
but I guess when it gets really seriousal learned soul.
Oh yeah, yeah for sure. Like you said, it's got
nine thousand, seven hundred words in it's it's like a book.
You gotta remember it. All yeah, all right, Hey, uh
John Michael mcgomery John, thank you for your time. We
surprise Travis a little. Our listeners love the two and uh,

(11:19):
you know, continue to says, all right, there is John
Michael mcgoy John. So I see you call him John? Yeah?
Does anyone call him John Michael? I call him? Oh yeah, Crystal.
Does I call him mister John most of the time?

know that's got a good rink to it. It does
not have a good rink to it. J. Travis Denning

I just wanted to do that first feel. I saw
you be a lot Why would I Why would I

more polite, and you set up a little straighter. When
her dad got on the phone, You're like, old mister John,
how are you sir? It's your girlfriend's dad. That's what
people are always like, is it different, And I'm like, no,
it's just my girlfriend's dad. I mean, but her dad's

(12:02):
John Michael Montgomery. So it is different. And you're a
country you're trying to be a country star. Yeah. Yeah,
you got one hit on the way to Mindy. But
to me, you look up to those kind of guys. Yeah.
He also was a little part of you like, oh, shoot,
did he just hear me say that? When I talked
to him, it's almost like sometimes he's not listening. No, No,
it's because he's hard of hearing, and he knows that.
It's like just sometimes sometimes sometimes you're like you're like, hey,
I caught a big fish today. He's like, what was that.

(12:23):
I was like, I caught a big fish. He's like, oh, yeah, no,

the worst horse player in basketball I've ever seen. Yeah,
we're playing basketball a couple days ago and I had
some crazy food poisoning and I knew I still needed
to go to this because we tried to do it
before I got pushed off. So I go and I
feeling terrible. I can't even see straight, and I still
beat him. Yeah, I mean, I am truly the worst

(13:05):
basketball player ever. You know it's good. I'd laid the
guys from Lanco. Yeah, they ball like they play all
the time. They ball hard. All of them trip well
trip By the way, this seven got like a long
ponytail and get facial hair, and you're like, this guy's
coffee shop just plays the slow jams in the cop
shop for the guard. It comes out to drain and threes.
I mean like couldn't miss. Yeah. So terrible at basketball,

(13:27):
good at music, Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me about this
new song, Abby. This is a song we put out
of Valentine's Day of twenty twenty, so it's spent out
for a hot minute just on you know, streaming and
all that, but just a huge fan favorite. Um, it's
so creative and first time I heard it. I thought
it was an amazing song and a funny way to
spend a breakup, and so I pumped that were it's

(13:49):
going to radio. First time we ever heard it. I
think I paid Travis a couple bucks and he came
to my house and played before he had a hit though, Yeah,
before he had a hit. Wasn't that two years ago? Yeah?
It wasn't list last ques this last Quesson, but the
one before that. It's like you're in a few months.
Travis brought his guitar set up in the living room
during Christmas party and played a bunch of songs. Couldn't
get him to leave. Next morning, he's just hang rolling

(14:10):
out of a guest room. Well, I mean, I just
thought it was such a pretty little place. I thought
might as well stay. Here is Travis Denning doing his
new song Abby. Well, I hate to break it to

(16:24):
It's the best bits of the week. With Morgan Number two,
t J and John Osborne, better known as Brothers Osborne.
They came on the show this week. They were talking
about their new single All Night, which is such a jam.
I jam to that song at the gym, which I
do not tend to listen to country songs at the gym,
but this song I will run too. Not only that,

(16:47):
they got really candid with us about their recent ACM
nominations and John had quite a funny, very human reaction
to them getting nominated for Album of the Year. So
here this you're gonna get some laughs, I promise number
six on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Osborne morning, guys,

(17:23):
how are you aren't pretty good? You Bobby doing pretty good?
Let me start TJ with you because Amy came in
the other day and goes, hey, I was on a
hike and you know, she loves to see celebrities, and
she goes, guess what celebrities? I saw what I don't
love to see celebrities. Celebrities are just like us, I said,
stars are just like us. Yes, they do normal things.

(17:43):
And when we run into we say that. Our mom
says that all the time. She's like, you know, celebrities
there's just normal people, but yet anytime she's in a
room with one, she just gravity. Okay, well, I just
wanted to clarify how you've prefaced this because it's like,
I mean, I, yes, I saw TJ. It's hard to
miss from afar, and so yes, there is on his

(18:06):
hike here I am. And earlier that day I had
posted me in shorts and socks jacked up to my
knees and it was a very divisive outfit. People really
hated it. And uh so Amy got to see me
out in the wild wearing that outfit, and which case
she complimented me. So then yes, because I had seen
it on Instagram previously that day, and he put up

(18:27):
a poll you could vote, And that's honestly, now that
I think about it, I forgot that's how I recognized
him from far I saw the outfit first. I was like,
I voted yea for that outfit. Earlier today you voted nay, Bobby,
that is the most Bobby outfit I've ever wore. Yeah, yeah,
I voted nay because I felt like you were stealing
my look, honestly. Yeah, and you were hiking with that

(18:49):
Casey Musgrave. You guys are good friends. Yeah, very good friends. Um, yeah,
we've you know that we've always been really close, but
over Quarantine we've we've gotten even closer than and I
think you know the past God, I mean five six
years or so, we've been on the road all the time.
We haven't been able to hang very much. But yeah,
we've been been hanging tight these days. Hey, John, you

(19:09):
guys are nominated for two ACM Awards Duo an Album
for Skeletons. Which one would you rather win? Um? You know,
I don't. That's a horrible question. I don't want to
miss either way. This is a lose lose proposition. Bobby. Thanks.
I mean, obviously either one would be amazing, but the
one of like the ultimate achievement for us, would be

(19:32):
Album of the Year. I mean that is something that
we worked so hard on this record to finish it,
and we put all of our energy into our music. Obviously,
if we won the other category, we'd be so grateful.
But I mean when we heard we got nominated for
Album of the Year, I just started shouting expletives. I
don't even know why I can't say them on air

(19:53):
or also get fined by the SEC. And I couldn't
contain my excitement and I haven't felt that in so long.
And we do this where he shouts explatives and we
just bleep him out. I would like to hear John,
if possible, We'd like to hear the explatives that you
shouted out in real time, and we'll we'll bleep you.
But I'm ready to take that risk. You guys want
to count it down? Here? Yeah, here we go, three

(20:14):
two one. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been
with my wife Lucy and we have been wild, breaking
bad and Jesse, you know, it's very uh he has

(20:36):
a great use of the B word. So it was
in my started yelling. I don't even know why. That's
fun but tears of eyes, Oh man, I can attest
that it was exactly like that. It was. It was
customers that had nothing to do with it. For just
saying words. It was kind of like when a toddler,

(20:58):
like you know, it regurgitates them and just says them.
He doesn't even know what he's saying. It was hilarious.
We were all dying laughing. Who has the like the
best house for a party for a get together? TJ's house,
because he does have the best house for a get together. Um,
you know, I mean our house here is like, you know,
we try to make it like a retreat. You want

(21:18):
to feel like you're in Calvin the Woods, but tjs
TJ's house is like one button click away from it
being a full on dance party at all times. He's
got everything programmed to his phone so he could hit
one button, lights go down, disco ball comes out, and
the album again nominated for an acm Uh, Skeletons is

(21:43):
the first time that you guys recorded an album with
your entire road band, Is that right correct? Yeah? We
we had recorded our previous records with our rhythm sections,
so with our bass player and our drummer, but this
was the first album where we had everyone joint. So
we had our keys player, we had a utility player
on there, and it was really cool. I mean a
lot of times when we're recording, we always have there's

(22:05):
always a lot to fill in because it's just kind
of a slim band that's playing. And then it was like,
right from the beginning, everyone was We've played with these
guys for years, so it just from the first song
we recorded, which I think was Skeleton's, wasn't a John Yes, yeah,
very first song, and so it was just, man, it
was like, oh, this is fun. Not to mention we

(22:26):
play the same songs over and over and over every night.
So the fact that we could get into a studio
with these guys that we played these songs hundreds of
times with and play something brand new, it was it
was really really fun with us. Right now, Brothers Osborne,
we're gonna play the new single. Just set me up
here before I hit play, Like, why did you guys
pick this song? You know, I'm sure you wrote the song, Like,

(22:49):
give me a little backstory about this. Yeah, we wrote
this with Andrew to Roberts. She's done a lot of
stuff on song Land, and we just thought the song
was fun and believe it or not, it's a pretty
it's a simple song. But those are the hardest songs
to write. I don't know why. They just always are.
Um and we just wanted to put out something that
was fun, especially right now. It's something light hearted, it's

(23:10):
something you can have fun too. And when we can
finally get back out on the road, we wanted to
have a single that was definitely gonna what's gonna slap,
as the kids say, get back out there all these adjectives.
Hey John and your best DJ boys, and we'll get
out on this. Do do some sort of DJ intro

(23:31):
to your own song here and this is all night
My brothers born on the lobby bones. All right, I'm
good to see you guys. You know we love you.
Talk to you soon. I've got the ribble, If you

(23:53):
got the I've got the raisin. You gotta time. It's
the best bits of the week, with Morgan number two

(24:15):
coming in at number five. On Saint Patrick's Day, if
you walked into a Crispy Cream wearing green, then they
would hook you up with a free donut. Well, in
typical lunchbox fashion, he decided to try and see how
many outfits he could wear and get how many free donuts.
So lunchbox, yeah, yeah, tell me about this. Well, see,
here's the thing. There was a little bit of a

(24:37):
problem with this one. Usually you can change outfits and
go in and go in and go in. But what
you don't realize is that you're wearing a mask, and
so I only have a limited amount of masks that
I can change into. You mean, you don't have a
home mask, a gym mask, work mask, no I don't
have no, no, I don't have all that, Like I

(25:00):
have a couple of masks that I have, and so
my mask variety was very limited. And so I think
in the end that kind of is what set me like,
oh wait, I'm kind of suspicious this guy. I recognized
that mask. So if I would have thought about it,
I would have ordered more masks beforehand, just to get
the free donuts. But that'd have been a lot of
work and a lot of effort to get free donuts.

(25:22):
So yeah, I'm kind of It was fun though. It's
always fun because they always look at you like is
there something wrong with this human being? And they're just
like looking at you, and you just look at them back,
like no, first time, first time in this situation like this,
did you go back in and you're like, hey, I
was just a prying CLI, thanks for playing along. I

(25:44):
just go in and I'm like, hey, you know, I'm
here for a free donut, you know green I pointed
my outfit and then I go back out and I
go literally walk out to my car and I and
that's what's crazy. I have to change in my car
in the parking lot, and so you can imagine suspicious
at all, by the way, I suspicially said, all and
you got I have a stack of clothes because you
don't know how many it's gonna take, so you have

(26:04):
to have plenty of outfits and usually overpack because I
don't get to use all of them. And so I mean,
I'm just in the parking lot changing, changing, and then
I go back in and do the same thing. Oh yeah, man,
I hurt on the internet that you guys are getting
away free Dona for wearing green on St. Patty's Day.
And then kind of look at you and then all right,
thanks every days and you go right out back to
your car and you start changing. And what's great is

(26:26):
there's even people that are sitting in there eating donuts
like customers, and you walk by them two or three times,
four times, five times, and they're just like this dude
just come in. Like they start looking at you a
little funny, you know what I mean. They're like, I
swear that guy just came in here, and it's it's ridiculous.
It's so fun so and it brightens their day. Like
I really think at the end of the day, all

(26:48):
these workers at the end of the day, it brightens
their day because they're gonna be talking about it for hours.
Like I say, they're gonna talk about it for hours. Afterwards,
they're gonna be like, dude, I can't wait. That guy
can't six times. I can't believe that guy gave it
here twenty six times. Oh Marie, you're never gonna believe
what happened to me today. They're just gone, like your

(27:09):
red Robin Hood voice just came out of you. I
don't know, but I'm just saying, I just like it
provides so much entertainment for them, okay, and that's all
that matters. That's all that matters to me. And you know,
they think I'm crazy, and that's good. If that makes

(27:29):
them sleep better at night, that they think I am
like off my rocker, that makes me happy. I love that.
But you still didn't answer my question. When you went
in there and they didn't pay you. You don't tell
him the answer. You don't tell him how many times
you know it's about the air, You can't ruin it,
re harless. When you went in there and it didn't
happen one of the times. Then I had to go

(27:50):
back out to my car and cry tell them. Then
I had to go back to my car. Car. You
not do that. There's no way you did that. That's
what I did. No, it's not every outfit. When I
use it, I put it in the backseat so I
don't reuse it because I gotta. It's hard to keep
track of which outfit you've used. And so, yeah, and

(28:12):
I even remember to take pictures this time. Where you
can see those pictures at bobby bones dot com. This
is true. You can. There's a whole video up on it.
But lunch because I'd always forget. I always forget to
take pictures, and I was like, oh, I gotta take pictures,
and so I take pictures in my car. Yeah. So,
and right after this happened, we learned that Krispy Kreme
is going to also give out free donuts every day
to people who get vaccinated everybody. Yeah, so, how many

(28:35):
days have you done that so far? I've done it
four days, four days? And or are you gonna try?
And I'm gonna try to do every single day because
a free donut is a free donut. Do you realize
like the calories you're adding on. I didn't say I
was gonna eat it every day. You're not gonna eat.
Why would you go take it because it's free? Do
you give it to your kids? Maybe every once in

(28:56):
a while, But if if they were giving out a
free dollar every day, when you go get it because
it's free, well a dollar, yes, because it could turn
into something else, but a donut, I feel wasteful. Oh
I didn't. I didn't look at it that way. Somebody
else could have that donut, or or you will start
getting the donuts and giving them to homeless people, or
or I could get them and then no, no, I

(29:17):
got an idea. It's a great idea. You came up
with a great idea. I'll get them every day for
twelve days, and then on the twelveth day, I'll have
a dozen. I'll be able to sell a dozen donuts.
Oh boy, that took a turn not making business deals
trying to get that muney. I think the first, second,
and third day donuts are gonna be a little stale
by that twelve one. But okay, well, listen back. Lunchbox

(29:40):
tried to get as many free donuts as he could
for Saint Patrick's Day number five. Lunchbox went out and
attempted to get free donuts at Krispy Krane for Saint
Patrick's Day. Because the deal was if you wore green,
they gave you a donut. Yeah, if you had green
anywhere on your body, any of your outfit, that they
would give you a free donut. So you just try
to change clothes and go get more and more donuts.
I would go out to the car and change clothes,

(30:01):
go back in. I am just wearing a Christmas mask
that has green Christmas trees on it. Are you doing?
I'm doing good, man. I just want to get one
glazed donut for wearing green today. Yeah, thanks man, Happy
Saint Patty's Day. I guess the mask does hide you
a bit. Yeah, you could probably switch masks. Oh I did?

(30:21):
Oh you did? Did ye? But but his voice though
I ain't man, same voice. I'm sure you change it, right, Yeah,
for sure. Here's number two. I'm wearing a blue sweatshirt
and a camo half. That's my green attempt to you
going good? How are you doing? Man? I heard you
guys were doing a free donut for Saint Patty's Day. Yeah,

(30:44):
he's green, camo. Thank you man, So no problem, no problem.
He goes back again. So far as he's got two donuts.
Are you eating these donuts? They're in the car? Okay,
here you go. At ten. Number three, I'm wearing a red,
green and black flaid shirt with khaki pants. I'm good.

(31:08):
How are you doing? Just got out of core lost
pluss of the kid. So I came to get my
free donut for Saint Patty's Day. Yeah no, I'm just no,
just yeah, I just got out of court. Thank you
so much, he said, haven't you already been in here?
So they're onto you a little bit, a little bit
onto me. Why did you have to go out lost

(31:28):
cuss my kids like you were heart in that line? Ah? Man,
I just was trying something different make him feel sorry
for me. All right, Here we go. Number four. I'm
wearing a Neon green shirt, a marathon metal and a
plastic metal. Yeah. What's he saying? He said, you coming

(31:49):
in for another free donut? Okay, go ahead, Olympics he
got free. No, no, I just got done working out.
No no, no, I've just gotten no working out. See

(32:10):
I'm training for the Olympics. He recognized everything he was wearing.
All right, so you got three free donuts, free free donut,
and what'd you do with them. I hate him. You
did eat all three the donuts? I aint one? What'd
you did? The other two? I game one of my wife?
What'd you do? The other one? Game one of my kids? Okay? Nice? Perfect?
Just asking there. You guys are like I didn't What

(32:30):
was it gonna do with them? He usually takes out
and just dump it out in the bag sometimes, like
if I get free ice cream cones went on free
ice cream, I do just throw It's the best bits
of the week with Morgan. Number two. Our own Bobby
Bones is obviously the mentor on American Idol and we
love watching him. Well. This week we found out that

(32:51):
somebody on our show actually auditioned for American Idol back
in the day. Our phone screen or Abby, when she
was sixteen years old, decided to go audition for america
an Idol. She tells us the whole story, and she
even gave us a little bit of her audition. Now, lunchbox,
we're gonna give them a little tease. But instead of
hearing Abby, which they'll hear in the segment, I want
you to sing a little bit of what she's saying

(33:13):
somewhere over the rainbow. Oh is that what she's saying, um,
how does that go? Somewhere for the Rainbow? Well, okay, sorry,
I've seen Wizar Robot like twice in my life. Give
me a little bit more, like a different you're making
me say it. I don't know, no, I know what
you're doing. I can see it in your eyes. All
I said was give me a little bit more. I

(33:35):
don't know what. I gotta know the key, I don't
even know. I don't that's wrong, Wizard of Oz. Come on,
you just told me it'srom Wizard. Just the chorus, and
it's really like the Somewhere over the Rainbow, how somewhere
over the Rainbow tears older? Okay, a little bit more?
Did stop it? Give me a little bit from you,

(33:55):
somewhere over the rain beautiful. I'm guessing you never auditioned
for American Adela. No. I never made it. Never made it.
I never never try to require none of that. Yeah, okay, Well,

(34:15):
I hope you enjoyed our terrible scene. But our phone
scooner Abbey is actually really good. So listen to her
back share a piece of her audition with us number four.
That's good, Hey, guys, good morning, Welcome to Thursday's show
Morning Studio Morning. I hope you guys all have a
good day today. This guy did not have a good day.
This guy in Maine. His name's Logan. He was at
the police station for just a couple of minutes and

(34:36):
he was going because his bike was stolen. He was like, hey, mom,
my bike stolen. But while he was there, they stolen
his car. Somebody stole his car. That's just strong. That stinks.
He had been at the police station for about sixty
seconds when he emerged to find his car gone from
the parking lot. It was six pm. It was March
twenty second. His black Ford Edge was taken while it

(35:00):
was parked. Now it was idoling. Oh he left it on.
It was a part of a police station. Okay, so,
but that's really great for someone to steal something right
outside of a police station. It makes me think that
maybe a criminal just got released or out of the
jail and they were like, oh, this is just too
good to be true. It looks like left me a

(35:20):
little tree. He got tempted and then he got in
and he got away. Because no way someone's like, all,
I'm gonna put it on stool in a car outside
the police station. The driver and the only suspect in
the theft is a guy named Joel. They have charged
him with unauthorized used of property, violation of a release condition.
I'd run eight pm. They recognized the car rest of
the driver. That's that's the guy's having a bad day. Yeah,

(35:42):
and you know what I like to listening to whenever
a day like this happens. Good Yeah, poor guy. He
gets bigger and bigger, and then he goes home in
his house is stolen. He's like, what's happening here? It's
on fire? Oh poor guy logan, Oh when it rains

(36:04):
it course, we feel for you. Yeah, you know what
I found this song used to be the American Idol song.
That's right, someone was voted off. Was terrible when Idol
was like early early seasons, somebody and the person getting
kicked off this week is Jordan's Sparks because you have
but how ruthless. This was brutal. It's like planning, all right,

(36:27):
and the person going home it is Jim Smith. You suck,
you suck. I know. I'm so glad that y'all are
so positive on American Idol. And it's a different thing
because I can't help but think some of the kids
that went through there that got like the real negative,
like Simon cal version and then yeah, just some of
the humiliation on TV how that they carried that with

(36:47):
him negatively because they were so young, which reminds me.
Brooke Eden came by my house and we did a bobbycast.
She's an artist country artist in Nashville. She went on
American Idol back in the day, made it through the
producers to Simon Cowell in that group she got on
the show, and then when she's sang because she's blonde
and very pretty and she's from Florida, they really like

(37:11):
altered her to look like a dumb blonde, no way,
and she's she's not anything but a dumb blonde. I
remember Tim Tebow called her and was like, hey, we
know who you are. Don't feel like that you have
to feel judged by us is a whole thing. And
she was like, I just didn't do that on the show.
That wasn't how I presented myself the whole time. But yes,
now we kind of have a role that we don't

(37:32):
very different vibe, which reminds me Abby our phone screener.
I found out that she tried out for American Idol.
Did you guys know that? No? I didn't either, Oh
you knew? Yeah? I found out on Talk to Chuck,
the Chuck Wecks podcast. Hey Abby, So when when did
you sing try to get on American Idol? When? Oh, man,
I was like sixteen, it was a long time ago.
How many years ago? Oh, that's like fourteen? Did you

(37:54):
go and just sing for the producers? So I went?
It was actually Dallas Stadium, yeah, Eddie, And so I
got there and it was actually in front of the
whole stadium. Really, I mean everybody's there, the whole stadium,
and there's about fifteen producers or judges on the field,
like at tables. So no, it was not in front

(38:15):
of the producers. I don't even make it there. Okay,
but you sang in front of those people who were producers,
and what do they tell you? No? Thank you? But no,
like did they say, hey, you know, work on it
and come back next year or they just saidn't. No,
I mean yeah they did. Because so there's about five
of us at one table for judges and then you
sing about thirty seconds, then you step back and then

(38:37):
after that they're like you and you step forward and
they say, oh, you made it, and then they go
out and then they're like the remaining I'm sorry, you
did not make it. And you're sixteen. Yeah, you remember
what song you're saying? Oh man, I think it was
suwhere over the Rainbow. You're going to do a little
analogy here, I'll give you the keys. Thank you. Yeah.

(39:03):
By the way, who knew Eddie owns Dallas Stadium? She
was like, um, Eddie, Yeah, it's called Eddie's Stadium because
he's the kid. He pointed at himself and he was excited.
I was really pointing to get closer to the camera.
So yeah, he was pointing. He was pointing a direction
for you to stand with the camera. Could see how
I do it with like background music or something. This

(39:24):
is American idol. When I tell these kids you want
your time to shine when it gets presented to you, you
you have to go. Yeah, Bobby mentor her right now, Abby,
you only have a record executive listening right now. It's looking.
That's looking from someone who can answer phones and sing
the hits. And I'm gonna blow it or maybe answer
the phone singing oh true somewhere okay, right here, we go. Okay,
right here you go somewhere the skysa blue and the

(39:53):
dreams that you did a dream really do come true?
Come on, Yeah you're going to Hollywood. Yeah. Still, good job.
I am too old. I'm no good Abby. I get shaky,
and I know that's what they would say, right, You'd

(40:14):
be like, oh no, it's a little shaky. I think
all of us are eyes. When you started singing, you're hitting.
Those first notes were like, wow, it's good. That was great,
thank you. I'm better in my car or shower, but
we all are. That was really good than bang. You're good, Abby.
You can take your headphones off. I love Abby's last

(40:36):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number
two Jaco and song Made for You inspired a segment
on the show this week, So Bobby asked everybody what
made them realize their significant other was made for them. Now,
we got a lot of funny stories. Everybody had their
own very personal one, you know, Bobby, Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox, Raimondo, Mighty.

(41:01):
They all shared these special stories. Most of them are
very thoughtful and carrying. Besides Lunchbox, who spawn even more
segments into the fact that him and his wife had
a crazy kissing rule. Lunchbox, would you like to add
any more details to that? Well, I'm offended by that
intro because I think you said everyone had thoughtful and
romantic ones except for Lunchbox like to argue that what

(41:26):
you have said was not necessarily considered generically romantic. Well,
everybody has their different definition of romantic and caring and loving,
and I think our relationship is different because we can
have fun and do different things, whereas other people are
so just rigid and stuck in the mud and boring.

(41:46):
And like I see some married couples, I'm like, God,
they look like they hate life, like they don't know
how to have fun. They're boring, they suck, And so
I look at ours, I'm like, man, we have so
much fun and we are so cool, and people wish
they could have as cool a marriage as we do,
and so like, rules like this make us realize, man,

(42:07):
we are so bad a together. And it's a kissing rule,
which you're going to hear about. It's a kissing because
I mean I was. I mean, let's just say it.
I was rico suave. You know what I'm saying. You
just called yourself Rico suave, which means I don't think
you were actually indeed, I was like, okay, you can't
call you. Somebody else has to call what they called me?

(42:27):
Oh okay, I'm just telling you. And so she knows
what it was like being with me, and so she
knew the women like to throw themselves at me. And
she's like, okay, you know when you're gonna go out,
here's the rule. And no one believe me. Did any
of you guys believe me? Hey, I believed you. I
still don't think it's an idea of romance, but I
do believe you. Would you ever have that rule with

(42:49):
someone you were dating, I mean not like indefinitely, but
like if I'm out with him and bachelor party comes
up to whoever my significant other was at the time,
and like, okay, what if you're not there and a
bachelotte party does it. I don't feel like that's necessary.
I feel like you can be like nah, I'm good, Oh,

(43:09):
but if you're there, it's okay, it's like fifty fifty yeah,
because like it's they're some monitoring happening, because okay, you
just don't know. There's a lot of situations that happen
at bars, right, and yeah, there are from things. My
thing it's a trust, it's trust. It is that shows
the ultimate trust right there, Like we are ultimate trust.

(43:30):
But I also have triggers with cheating, so like that's
really hard for me. That's so that's a different is
a really good thing for me, that's a different issue altogether.
I can't I can't get into that right now. I
don't want to talk about it because I don't know
the answer is that, Yeah, this isn't a therapy podcast.
Is not a therapy podcast, and I mean, yeah, I
got nothing on that. I just know that when my

(43:51):
wife told me this, I was like, dang, you're legit.
She's my I guess we're boyfriend girlfriend at the time.
That's a weird term. Boyfriend girlfriend like when we were dating. Yeah,
she was your girl. We're going steady. We're courting. You
ever heard courting? That is an old Persian term. They
like court you, they like they romance you. Right, Yeah, yeah,

(44:13):
that that doesn't really happen in Oh No. I mean
my parents just like courting. And I'm like, that's it's
so weird. And you know, if anybody asked the reason
I was not included in this. It's because I do
not have a significant other. No, you do not, not
not married, not engauge, not anything. Yeah, that's that's that's tough.
I mean, I guess you could have talked about your dog, Remmy, like,

(44:34):
how did you know that dog was made for you?
Is that the right word? We had a really special
moment at the at the volunteer center. Yeah, oh what
was it? Well, like she came up to me and
she just came running up to me, and then every
time I would come by, she just like we just connected.
You just you're that's crazy. You're telling me when you
were at a dog center a dog came running up
to you. Well, so that is so crazy. So I

(44:56):
was volunteering at the Kansas Humane Society walking dogs. Oh
and I went into this like area where the younger
dogs were. Remy was like two and a half months old,
and I just was kind of like looking at him,
making sure everybody was okay, and Remy just like looked
at me, like deep into my soul. I went in there.
I centered sent a picture of her to my parents
to get them to adopt her because they had potentially

(45:18):
wanted another dog. And then when they came to meet her.
She was attached to me and like didn't want anything
to do with anybody else, and so we kind of
had this like attachment already. That's pretty legit. Yeah, my dog.
I went to go because I was looking for a
second dog, my first dog that I had when I
adopted my second dog. Now Waldo has passed away since then,

(45:40):
but I was trying to get Niobia a playmate, you know,
like a partner. And so I go to the pound
in Austin and looking and looking and all the dogs
are jumping on the cage. It's just going crazy, right,
and there's freaking Waldo. He's just laying there and he
just kind of slides his paw out from underneath the
gate and I was like, okay, I kind like that,

(46:00):
let me let me pull you out here. Like he
was like slot. I mean, you know, he didn't go
crazy and he slid under the gate and he's all
calm and I got him home and he's the exact
opposite of calm, and but but it worked, like he
was speaking. It was like he chose me. He really did.
Like I was making fun of you, but Waldo chose
me too. I am a firm believer in that rescue
dogs choose their owners. I really am, like, and there

(46:22):
their better part of their lives. Yeah, and just like
my wife chose me because she would what is it
called we made for you? She was made for she
was made for me? Yeah? Yeah, Okay, well here you go.
You guys canna listen to this segment. It's really cool
to hear everybody's stories about their significant others. Number three,
that's good. Yesterday I was listening to the radio and

(46:43):
Jake Owen came on made for You. I love the song.
This has been my favorite song on the radio for
a couple of months now at this point, for you
and I'm speaken. How did you, guys on the show
know that your significant other was like this song says
made for you? Like what was Wow? It can be
a single moment or like when did it hit you

(47:04):
were like, all right, this person's made for me. Eddie,
I'll start with you. Oh this is great, Okay, Okay,
So I guess we were dating about two years and
I was living in Huntsville, Texas, and Pearl Jam was
coming to Houston and my wife, now she was living
in Austin at the time. Well, she drove up to
Houston to the Pearl Jam concert and we're kind of

(47:25):
talking and I go, look, I know you're kind of
like my girlfriend now, but I've always watched Pearl Jam
in the front row with my friend like and all
the Pearl Jam fans, So I'm gonna have to just
do that if that's okay with you. And she drove
all the way from Austin. She goes, you do love
Pearl Jam, and I'm gonna let you do that. And
I said, wow, Like she's gonna let me enjoy my

(47:47):
concert in the front row while she just sits in
the back and just watches her show because she knows
how much I love this band. That's when I knew
she was made for me. So she went to the concert. Yes,
she drove all the way to Houston, but she didn't
watch it with you. No, And you didn't go let
me just take one for the team and go sit
with her. If it wasn't Pearl Jam, I would have.
But she knows how important that was to me. And

(48:08):
I said, wow, she's made for me. And you've been
even married for how long now, fifteen years? How many
Pearl Jam shows have you guys been to together. Now
together we went all the way to Hawaii to see
a Pearl Jam show. So probably about five herna, do
you watch him with her now? At least now she's
the one I go with. Yes, that's crazy. You did
that so early in the relationship. I know you're lucky
she didn't throw deuces at you. If she would have,

(48:29):
then we wouldn't be married. Yeah, she wouldn't be made
for him, Thank you, Amy. She needed to probably know
what's up, like this would happen again maybe bones I've
never thought about that before. Thanks for bringing that up.
All right? Made for you, Amy, I would say, probably
the minute he wanted to start dating me. Like I
knew my husband since I was eight years old and
he was older than me and friends with my sister

(48:49):
and her friends, so I always thought they were so
cool and to me, I just had him on this
pedestal of sorts. So, I mean we got engaged quickly
after we started dating, like what was it a couple months?
I remember Amy coming to me going, Hey, so this
guy that I knew as a kid, you know, he's

(49:10):
in the military. I met him at a wedding. I
kind of remet at a wedding, and I was like,
get away from that. Like, he's military, probably got one
hundred girls, one hundred places. I was like, that'll never work.
Remember that, I kind of thought, well, when we started
talking about him on air, like when I started dating him,
we didn't say his name orything. We just called him
air Force guy. And I remember thinking like, oh my gosh,

(49:30):
air Force guy could be my husband, Like this could
be it. And then sure enough you proposed, and then
a few months after that we were married. Like from
the wedding that you brought up that it took from
that wedding to our wed to our wedding was six months.
From when you met, like re met the first time
to getting married was six months. Wow, that's quick. I
think a lot of people thought Amy was pregnant. Yeah,

(49:52):
but I wasn't. There wasn't. That wasn't possible. Huh so crazy, Yeah,
that's crazy. Hey, Mike, deal, a lot of people are
asking about your wedding and because you're getting married in June, right, Yeah,
how's that going going good? We have everything finalized, We
were ready to go. We just got our wedding bands,
he did, Yeah, you're gonna wear yours around your neck
like I do. I'm not no, why not? I don't know.

(50:12):
I don't really like any kind of jewelry. Well, I'm
not a jewelry were watches now, I'm not a jewelry guy,
but I feel like I keep it close to my heart.
Also feel like everybody makes fun of me for wearing it.
How did you know that your fiance, Kelsey was made
for you? Whenever I met her parents for the first
time and her younger brothers and saw the way she
interacted with them, I was like, I could see myself
building a family with her. And that was when I knew.

(50:34):
So that was her. Seeing her with a family made
you see her with you in your family. It saw
like the whole future. Yeah, yeah, you had that vision.
Yeah I don't. I love that. I think that's Mamby.
Don't cry, lunchbox, What about you? I would say, my
wife whenever I'd go out with just the boys, and

(50:54):
she knows a lot of chicks would come up and,
you know, trying to make moves on me, and she'd
always tell me, hey, just no tongue, Like if they
kiss you, no big deal, Just no tongue. That was
our rule. And so we'd be out at bars sometimes together,
and girls would come up and just give me a kiss,
and she'd be like, that's cool as long as there's
no tongue. So you were with her, dating her, and
she would let girls kiss you as long as there

(51:15):
was no tongue. Yep, it's not true. You are you
saying you wouldn't kiss them they would just kiss you. Yeah,
But I'm also saying there's no way she allowed her
boyfriend to kiss out the girls one hundred percent. We
need her audio of her saying that this is what
she allowed without it sounded like she has a gun
to her head. Right, That's fine, I'll get the audio. Guys,

(51:35):
you don't believe me. My wife is so cool and
laid back that things don't bother her. I'm telling you,
girls would come up to me at the bars and
they would plant one on me, and she would just
stand up there and drink or drink and then she
come up. But it's funny. First of all, I've never
seen a girl just go up and kiss ever. And
then secondly, I just don't think his wife would allow
that or girlfriend at the time, but she allowed it now.

(51:58):
I don't know. I had to ask her about now,
But yeah, I was. I was her running thing was
and if I was going out with the boys, should
be remember no tongue. That's how that's how he knew
she was for him. Okay, so so far, Mike D's
the most romantic here, Bobby, what about you? I don't
know that mine's extremely romantic. But about the third time
that Caitlyn made me belly laugh because she's the funniest person.

(52:19):
I mean, she's surpassed Eddie and the funniest person in
my life. Yeah, I mean, she's really funny. She's funnier
than I am. And so I was about the third
time I was like I have to like dial in
to keep up with her, and I thought, okay, this
definitely could be something like something really big. But that
was the first time where it clicked where I was like,

(52:40):
holy crap, this is different than anything else because I
already really liked her. But about the third time, because
that's how you get to my heart making me laugh,
and about the third time I was like laughed out
loud at something she said. I was like, oh boy,
I think this might be the I think this might
be it. She was made for me. Yeah, I think that.
I think that was it, Okay, Raymundo last one. Yeah,
I moved in with her earn her roommate downtown. It

(53:01):
was two girls, and it always just felt so girly
in the living room. And one day I came home
and she bought me a putting green and she put
it right in the living room, right in front of everything,
and I thought, oh, this is fun. This will be
last maybe for like a week at pudding Green. Stayed
there for about twelve months. I was like, I love
this chick. She's made for me. So when you look
back at all of these right this is a nice
little study here about what's important to all of us.

(53:23):
Like Ray still wants to be a bro, even though
he's married. Ray wants to be a bro. Eddie still
loves music, like the most important thing to him his music.
It was then it is now like that's what you
would know Eddie for Lunchbox still likes to act like
he's making out with chicks. It's the best bits of
the week with Morgan number two. You know, we really

(53:44):
learned a lot about Lunchbox this weekend on this podcast
right now, but there was one story that stood out
above the rest and coming in at number two only
because er two, number two is my favorite number. That's
the soccer number I work that. I don't know. There
was another guy me and him both wanted number two,
and so my junior year I got number two. So

(54:04):
I just kept the uniform an entire year and never
turned it into the coach so I could be number
two the next year. Well, you are a number two
this week with your animal attack. Oh my gosh, guys, like,
I don't know if you've ever had that moment where
your life flashes before your eyes like this was it? Like,
I mean, it was so scary, and I really when

(54:24):
it happened, I'm so glad I was on FaceTime with
my parents because no one was going to believe me
what happened to me and this animal, because I mean,
I don't know if you ever see this animal attack
people and the things Bobby had told me that this
animal could do. For years he would tell about all
this animal can do this, and you better watch out
because it can do that. And so when this happened

(54:45):
to me, I was just like no, I mean, I
was freaked out. My heart was do you feel like
this animal might have been like had rabies and was
kind of going rabid. I don't know, because there was
two of them and they were making a lot of noise.
I turned around and only one of them attacked, So

(55:07):
I don't know if I interrupted something, you know what
I'm saying. Oh, okay, but I don't know. But it
was crazy, like it was so scary, and I maybe
this animal can't really hurt you. But who when somebody
don't have like porch cameras or something, I feel like
this would be like perfect viral video. Oh my gosh,
this would have been your moment to go viral. Okay,

(55:28):
I'll get porch cameras because my wife has been wanting
porch cameras. I'm like, we don't need stupid porch camera
viral lunchbock. God, did you not even think about that? No? Like,
could you imagine you just ruined animal attack? It would
go viral? Like it really would? You just ruined my story,

(55:49):
just ruined my day. Not only am I only number two,
but I could have been viral. Oh that was like
a prime moment. Oh no, but I'm lucky to be
here and so guys, I'm just glad to be alive.
And yes, if you've ever been attacked by an animal?
Let me know, because it's scary. It's a really scary thing,
and I feel for you, and I mean, who, Well,

(56:11):
before we reveal too much, because I really want to
say the animal, because this segment is just so hilarious.
Let's get to it so you guys can hear it
for yourselves. Number two lunchbox was attacked by an animal?
Do you guys know this what happens? Oh my gosh, guys.
I'm sitting on my front porch and I'm on the
little rocking bench and I'm on the computer face timing
with my parents, and my fence is right behind me,

(56:33):
and I hear all this rustling. I thinking, oh, the
dog's trying to get out of the gate. And I
turn and I look over my left shoulder and there's
two squirrels kind of going at it on top of
the fence. And one of the squirrels looks right at
me and literally launches himself for herself, lands on my
left shoulder and like kind of I don't know if
he's trying to swipe out my face or what, and

(56:54):
then dive bombs the computer and runs off like and
all I could think of is my life flashing before
my eyes? Because Bobby always talked about how strong squirrels
jaws are, but literally, this squirrel tried to take me out,
landing right here on the shoulder. I turned like this
and he went whoa right there, and I was like scary. Oh,

(57:17):
I was freaking out. I get that scary. What do
you know about squirrel jaws? Their jaws are extremely show.
They could bite your hand off the jaw pressure. Sure,
their teeth aren't wide enough to do it, but they
can bite through your bones. Sure. Wow. Yeah, they have
the strongest jaws of almost any animal when it comes
to their size. Oh, I guess they do have to
crack nuts exactly. Yeah. And so if it jumped up

(57:39):
and decided to take a bite of your face, it
would have been bad news. I don't know if it
was like there's something wrong with that squirrel or if
it was just I was interrupting something. I don't know,
but he or she landed right I'm I don't want
to be sexist, of course, yeah, landed right on my
left shoulder, and I was just like, I was screaming
bloody murder, freaked out. How long was your heart beating
after that, I'll probably about two hours. Did your wife

(58:00):
believe you? She was like really, come on? And I
had my parents on FaceTime too, Did they see it happen?
Because they went right at the computer and they would
die in laughing because they like woo, like knock the
computer like that, so they try to attack lunchboxes. Then
his parents coming from the whole family squirrel. It was so,
I mean, who bad bad news? Anyone ever been attacked

(58:23):
by an animal? Like thinking back? If so, raise your hand.
Ever had a I don't know, running with a hippo
or something. No, I mean I had a rattlesnake by
my boot, but it didn't penetrate my boot. Yeah. I've
had some snakes hit boots too. Yeah, I mean that's scary. Yeah,
but still nothing like a squirrel on your shoulder. Oh,
nothing like this. When horror movies are made up. Then
the flying squirrel, I mean, think about that one flying squirrel. Well,

(58:46):
I mean that's what the name of the movie would be.
Oh okay, yeah, I mean, but he did fly from
the fence to my shoulder. He I mean, they can jump.
Do your squirrels go up to people in neighborhood? Because
they're always feeding him anything. No, no, no, no, I've
never seen a squirrel. I mean when I was in college,
I would feed a squirrel on the campus of UTSA
by the police station. You would put your hand out
and they would come eat from your hand. Do you
he get thought you were a squirrel? What your face? Wait?

(59:15):
What a job? Was that? Not a job? Let us
I have a squirrel. It's not a joke. It's not
a job that maybe like lunch bugs. Had a very
inviting face for the squirrel, and it actually wasn't a threat.
It was like once he got closer he realized, oh,
not a squirrel. But I mean from before he jumped,
he was like, oh my friend. No, no, I mean

(59:36):
the way his eyes looked look hers looked very very angry.
Oh you're okay, and you live to tell about Yeah,
but I'm starting to get all my heart beating again
talking about it. It wasn't an eadn't get take by
a dog or a wolf. But Bobby, you for years
if told me the squirrel could rip my hand off
if it wanted to. And that's what I saw. When

(59:57):
he landed on or she landed on my shoulder, I thought, oh,
my face is done. Okay, there it is lunchbox. His
life flash before his eyes and he lives to tell about.
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
We've had a lot of great guests on the show,
from country artists, you know, icons to up and comers, legends,

(01:00:19):
you name it, we've probably had him on their show.
And this one might have been just one of the
most exciting because it was not only his first time
on the show, but it was Matthew McConaughey. We had
Matthew McConaughey on the show this week. It was so good.
He talked about his benefit show, acting, gigs, just all
the things, and he is as cool as he looks

(01:00:42):
in all of his movies. I'm telling you, this interview
is epic. Listen to it now and then even go
watch the video at Bobby Bones dot com. So good,
all right, all right, all right number one on the
Bobby Bones Show. Now, Matthew McConaughey, Matthew, how are you?
And good Bobby whole lot man, This is your little
uh chilly Waco morning on the front porch. You're in Waco, Yeah,

(01:01:07):
you do? You live in Waco? Some now are you
just stand up there? No, No, I just came up
here for a couple of days work on this. Uh,
get some work done on the benefit. Now we heard
last night just got away. I live in Austin, whole
family does. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew that. So you
you go to Waco to get away, like to work?
Is it because your Austin house has so much just

(01:01:28):
stimuli everywhere you move? Yeah? Right, you know, and that's
something about moving. Start building getaways from you, getaways, you
can get away from you getaways. Um, we just came
over to a little cabin, a little little yeah, a
little place. It has no more than one of everything.
Instead actually my air shrink this benefit that you guys did, which,

(01:01:50):
by the way, I want to reinforce that people can
watch it. It's up for a month on your YouTube channel.
And so how yeah, do you know all these folks,
because this is the most this is the most massive
Texas music. It's George Strait, Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Casey Willie, Like,
are they all in your phone as a text where
you can just go ahead? Do you mind performing? No,
they weren't half for most of them may have been

(01:02:12):
but all of them weren't. I had to reach out
and go through angles and had to find out their
numbers from their managers, assistance what have you, dot dot dot.
But I was able to get a hold of everybody,
I believe, within at twenty four hours, and thankfully, you know,
all of them were pretty much immediate within thirty second. Yes, indeed,
to help let me know, the winning wears one hundred

(01:02:33):
percent of the funds. Tell me, if I'm right on this,
are going to the Just Keep Living Texas really fund
on every dollars, You're going to help out many, many
thousands and thousands of Texas that were got a hit
key from from the Freeze. It's at YouTube dot com
slash Matthew McConaughey. My question is do you ever have
trouble spelling your name? Because anytime I try to spell

(01:02:54):
your last name, I'm always a couple letters off. I
don't anymore, but I've had a lot of practice, sir.
I remember, I'll tell you what though. My signature shut
I was shortened, and I remember what it was from
I was I think I was when I found my
signature at fourteen years old, I was in line at
like the Sports's Lodge in Longview, Texas, and I had

(01:03:18):
to sign. When you get your hunting license, you got
to sign each one of those little cards. And it's
about twenty twenty signatures, and I'm writing my name M A. D. T.
The we're getting on the last name MC, two lines
under it, and I'm going on and all of a sudden,
I looked behind me. This line to getting longer than
everyone to wait on me to sign the damn hunting tickets,

(01:03:39):
about twenty men and women behind me, and I'm looking
in I'm starting to getting nursed, and four team started sweating.
So I gotta fix it. MBM, MBM, MBM. I fix
it and ripped through them, stuck with MBM. Since we're
a very Austin show. You know, we all met in Austin, UM,
all of half of us were born in Austin, And
so you have a lot of fans here for not
just what you do on the big screen, but also

(01:04:01):
you know, you being an Austin guy and fighting for
that talent and for Texas, and so you got a
lot of people here who read your book. For example,
Eddie here, Eddie loved Green Lights, right, Eddie loved it.
My mother in law got it for me for Christmas.
I read the whole thing in six days. It's the
fastest I've ever read a book in my life, probably
the sixth book that I've read in my life. So
it was awesome. But while I was reading it, I

(01:04:23):
saw that there was the part where you lost a
bunch of weight for Dallas Buyer's Club, and it inspired
me and I said, man, like he lost so much
weight quickly, and he listed the diet that I actually
did the diet myself. But you losing two point five
pounds a week like clockwork. I did like clockwork. And
it's crazy because everybody doubted me. When I said no,

(01:04:44):
he said, drink all the red wine you want, which
I did every night. I mean, it's a wonderful loophole
that died. Didn't you lost fifty pounds? How hard was
it to actually, because Eddie, you lost how many pounds?
So a little under twenty Matthew lost fifty pounds? How
hard was it to stay on that diet the whole time?
I mean, it wasn't. I mean, I wrote about this

(01:05:05):
in the book. It once I made my mind up
that if I don't lose the weight, I need to
to play the role, right, I'd be embarrassed because I
wouldn't be doing my job. Then it was it wasn't
hard at all, because the option, the option of not
doing and what I need to do for the job
would suck more than now. I didn't go out to
Pizza Hut and walk down the buffet and say no,

(01:05:27):
I didn't go out. I didn't go I didn't go
to great restaurant and and and look at look at
great food and say no, I'll have five ounces of
fish with no oil and a couple of vegetables in
the water and that's wine. No, I didn't put myself
in front of a lot of temptation on purpose. I
was pretty much became a hermit. M Camilla, my wife

(01:05:48):
helped make the meal. So it was pretty much. It
was pretty militant, you know, And then that way it
wasn't hard. Amy also read the book, Amy, would you
want to ask him, Well, yeah, Eddie read it. Read it.
I listened to it on audible, so I got Matthew's voice,
and even right now listening to him talk, I feel
like I'm listening to your book and yeah, I just
want to thank you for putting the whole green light

(01:06:09):
message into my head because I feel like anytime like
I'm seeing maybe the door open or whatever, like instantly
the first thing I hear is green light, Like yeah
in my head. So also too, when I'm I'm driving
down the road and I get a green light, I'm like, yeah,
green light indeed, right, Well that's you know, that title

(01:06:35):
came out of me looking at thirty six years of
my journals. I didn't have that title in mind and
more when it hit me, I was like, well, that's
hit you know, we love green light. Let's catch more.
Let's create more for ourselves, create more for others. You know,
that's out of what The theme of the benefit that
Aaron last night that's still on YouTube for the next

(01:06:57):
month is about can of say that you know you
give gratitude, you have gratitude for things you're generous in life,
you get more gratitude. Also, the people who receive your
gifts get more gratitude. And when you got more thanks,
you become more responsible for the things that you're thankful
for because you want to take care of what you value.

(01:07:17):
And then I believe that that's where we tap into
what true freedom is when we go off into the
world wherever we go and place in time, taking care
of what we value. And that's what a lot of
the show. What I felt in the show is that
a lot of people that received all the donations and
gifts and will continue to for the next month, are

(01:07:38):
are getting a lot, They're getting new freedoms, they're getting
a lot of gratitude. But also the people giving it
are coming and saying, oh, I got some freedom out
of that. I got some new new found gratitude out
of the given. So pretty cool. Go to YouTube dot
com slash Matthew McConaughey, it's a virtual benefit. It is up.
It's going to be up for a month. You can
donate and one of the funds are going to the

(01:08:00):
Just Keep Living Texas Relief Fund. Did you name that fund, Matthew? Well,
Just Keep Living has been around since my father passed
away in nineteen ninety two, five days in the days
and confused, and so when I started the foundation, obviously
called it Just Keep Living Foundation because that's honor him
and his name. So they Just Keep Living Foundation has

(01:08:20):
been around for ten years and we just uh, this
one is for this specific relief. Just Keep Living relief
funds for this one. But yeah, the JK living that
that's that's me. That's uh, that's that's about my dad.
Who's who's moved on from this life? Do you know
George straight personally? Because he's one of the I would say,
the biggest performer on this George Strait probably Yeah, Yeah,
you know George? Yeah? Is he awesome? Yeah? And I

(01:08:46):
tell you what, I mean, what an ageless wonder? How
any where did you see him last night? He's like,
it's like, I mean he's still thirty three. Uh and
sounds great too. Nah. I mean, I gotta find out.
I gotta find out what skincare found that. I got
to ask you. I got like two questions for you
before we run. The first one is that's all over
the news right now. What's up with the governor run?

(01:09:08):
Is it maybe next term? Is it something for life?
Are you thinking about, you know, eventually you want to
run for governor of Texas? And what is it you
think you bring? Well, let me just answer the first
first part because it'd be a little sure to answer
the second part. As I've said, and I'm gonna say
the same thing now. And this hitting the dodge This
is me being straight up with you. Consideration as all

(01:09:29):
as all it really is, I'm considering it. I've had
quite a few people, unsolicited and different people whose things
I quite respect in my life come to me unsolicitedly
and talk about why they would think it would be
a good idea. Well, I've got to I gotta keep
unpacking that right there. Why would it be a good idea?
Why would it not be a good idea? What is?
And again, I've got to be on as I've said,

(01:09:51):
for myself, I got to decide what category is best
for me going forward, for me, for my family as well. Um,
could it be something polisher? It could be? Um, could
it not be? Like I said? It might not be
r Yeah, he's a yellow light? Yellow light? Is that

(01:10:12):
a yellow light? That's exactly right? Yes, I love it.
That's that's that's what do you do? Yell light? You
to slow down, take yourselup, bread, Let's sit still for
a while. Boy, you say, but I'm stepping on the gas.

(01:10:33):
Let's get it all right. Matthew McConaughey is on with us.
Go to YouTube dot com slash Matthew McConaughey. My final
question is do you ever, at your point being the
biggest superstar in the whole world in acting in movies,
do you have to audition anymore? Ever? Uh? Do you
have to audition? No? I haven't remember last time I audition.

(01:10:54):
But you know what, it's a great question, because if
I want to roll um, I still and I'm in
competition with some other actors for it. I have had
roles in the last five years when where I've said,
let him know, all audition against him for it. Let

(01:11:15):
him know, or I'll call him person and go, I'm
taking this part, um and if you don't think so,
we'll go get in front of it. We'll go get
in front of the studio and the director and we'll
audition for it. Let's go, and everyone laughs when I'm
serious and I've got all those parts, so I didn't
have to audition, but I got that in my mind
that yes, I'll audition for it if I wanted bad enough.
You sound pretty competitive, still, like you still got the

(01:11:36):
fire in you. Well, I'm competitive at certain things that
you know are my life and career and who I am.
I mean, I love to play ping pong, but I'm
not viciously competitive on the ping pong table anymore because
I'm not the greatest ping pong player, but things that
I've put time to work on, um, you know, in

(01:11:56):
my life, I am competitive with him because, um, they're
real part of my life and part of what I've
invested in. There. He is Matthew McConaughey, YouTube dot com
