Speaker 1 (00:02):
The week, We've got a Morgan Busts of the week.
What's up, y'all, it's the best bits of the week.
I'm Morgan number two. Thanks for hanging out with me
for another weekend. If this is your first time, what
I do is I take the best seven segments from
(00:22):
the week based on all of y'all's engagement, online, phone calls,
social media, everything, and decide which seven ones were our
best from the week so we can recap them with you.
But along the way, I typically bring one of our
other show members on so we can talk about some
behind the scenes and maybe go rogue a little. You
never know what happens, and it's probably definitely gonna happen
(00:43):
this weekend because I am bringing a lunchbox on with me.
What Up? What Up? I'm so gonna be here. Hello, everybody,
how you doing? Every Saturday or Sunday or Monday, whenever
you're listening to this, Lunchbox comes in with two bits
this week, so naturally I had to bring them on.
So let's go ahead and get this started. Hold on,
(01:04):
what is Hilary calling me? She called me to hold
on Hello, Yeah, I'm recording my podcast. What's up? Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'll tell Abby. Okay, Bye, Yeah, what's up? Okay, cool? Cool,
all right. I just saw you call it and I
was like, oh, let me call it just Atlanta. Oh
(01:27):
my gosh, we're all idiots. Okay, all right, I have
a great day. Bye. Did you really just call her
back after I had already answered? I didn't know if
she was calling me for a different reason. I didn't
want to be bust. Okay, this was a funny one.
Coming in at number seven. Lunchbox got a parking ticket
and he basically is refusing to pay it. So Lunchbox,
(01:49):
give us a little background on this. Tell us what
went down. So I went to pick up some food
from a restaurant. My wife wanted to try, so I'm like,
all right, i'll run and get it. But there was
no street parking. There was only a paid parking lot.
But it was ten dollars for one hour, and I'm
not gonna be there for an hour and I'm not
gonna pay ten dollars to go pick up to go food.
(02:11):
So I thought, ah, I'll just park here real quick,
run in, get the food, come out, and we'll all
be happy. I'll have food. I'll get out of their
parking lot and it'll be no problem. I'm in there
for what six seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve minutes
whatever it was. The minutes are going up. Well now
it was like six minutes and I come out and
(02:31):
there's a yellow envelope on my windshield and it says
parking violation, and I'm like, you have got to be
kidding me. And I opened it up and I'm thinking, Okay,
they want their ten dollars because I didn't pay the
ten dollars. Oh no, it was first sixty dollars. Sixty dollars.
(02:53):
That is outrageous. I do admire when restaurants have like
the few little parking spots that are like for to
go pickup orders, because then you can just pull in
there and it's not a big deal. Did this restaurant
not have that? No, I didn't see any parking. It
was literally just all street parking, and I couldn't find anything.
And I was like, man, I don't have time to
circle the block six times when I'm really just going
(03:15):
in to get food that I ordered. And I thought
it would be no big deal. But boy was I wrong.
Sixty dollars later, yeah, right, So I thought about it,
and I'm like, hey, that's an outrageous amount of money
to charge someone for a parking thing, right, Like I
think if you get a parking ticket with the city,
it's like fifteen dollars. Yeah, it should not be sixty dollars,
(03:36):
right because I wasn't even there an hour. If you
want to charge me by the hour, then I pay
you your ten dollars and we're even not sixty freaking dollars.
So I felt like I'm just not gonna pay it,
and I didn't know what would happen if I didn't
pay it. Well, like I feel like I'm sticking up
for the people out there that are always wondered this,
Like if I get one of these tickets, do I
(03:56):
have to pay it? And it's out a principle. You
get so mad because I want to know where they
came from really, Like did he come up from underneath
the parking lot and zoop? Like he had to be
on there so quick, like he had to be hiding
in the bushes and see me not pay the ten
dollars and he went right to my car. Yeah, let
me tell you where they come from. So the two
instances where I got these. The first one, I was
(04:19):
with a premiere parking employee, one of my friend's boyfriends,
who was like, hey, I worked there, don't worry about it.
You don't need to pay. Oh I didn't. What do
you know? I get a ticket okay, and I still
get it and I still have to pay for it.
So I don't know if this man was lying. I don't.
I've never seen the man again in my life, so
I have no idea what happened there. Second time, I
got where did he come from? You said? Where? Did
(04:40):
you tell me where they came from? I am I'm
getting oh okay. So on the second time this happened,
I was standing there trying to pay for one of
these parking places because I was going to be there
for like two hours. I was going out to eat,
and it wouldn't give me my ticket. It like wouldn't
give me a receipt, but it had paid for it,
and you have to just play the parking ticket on
(05:01):
your car, right, and the parking guy that gives the
tickets walks up. I'm like, hey, I just paid for it.
I need the receipt. He's like, oh yeah, it's running out.
Somebody's gonna come orfill that. But you're good, he tells me,
you're good. Okay, I go inside, I come back out afterwards,
and I have a ticket on my car. I found
(05:25):
out from somebody that night that they sit in that
parking lot. A parking like attendant sits either in that
parking lot or three like around it. They kind of
monitor a few at a time and sit and watch
for people to leave, and if they watch them go
inside and not pay for a ticket, they'll put a
ticket on your car immediately. And see, I feel I'm
(05:46):
gonna say that probably has to be one of the
worst jobs in the world. Yeah, because nobody likes you, like,
nobody sees you is like, hey man, goodness see you.
Like you go to the cookie shop and you get
a cookie, oh yeah, or the ice cream shop, you
get a scoop of ice cream. Everybody's excited to be there.
But if you see the parking guy coming with that
little stoopid machine of his or hers not to be sexist,
(06:10):
and oh that's a sixty dollars ticket, no one is like,
oh yeah, it's Henrietta the parking police. Oh my gosh.
It's like, did you ever watch that show? Parking wars. No,
there's a show about parking. And they would follow around
meter people in like Philadelphia, and people would just chew
them out because they would give them tickets for having
(06:30):
expired meters. And it's true, no one's ever happy to
see them. They are just the worst. It's the worst
job in the world. Oh, it absolutely is, especially these
because they're privately owned. So like in Nashville, the parking
companies are making bank okay, like so much money off
of people. We all need to just buy a parking lot.
You don't need to buy a building, you don't need
to buy a house, you don't need to just buy
(06:52):
a parking lot. That's what we need to do. And
why did no one tell me this when I was younger?
Why did I not just buy a parking lot and
just make a ton of money on a parking lot. Well,
I have a real question out of all of this. Yes,
where'd you get your food from? It was some delhi um.
I don't even know what it's called, shepp com on.
(07:13):
That was the question, Chep's I think it is? What
It was just so important that we got a ticket. No, no,
And see that's the thing. My sandwich wasn't even that good.
But my wife did go for breakfast one morning with
my cousin and his wife they were in town, and
loved it, said it was so good. So maybe and
(07:34):
I maybe I didn't like the sandwich because I was
so angry i'mbout a parking ticket. I have a feeling
that sixty dollars sandwich didn't taste right right, And my
judgment may have been way off because I was so
ticked off about life in general at that point that
nothing was going to taste good, and so that may
be unfair on my part. Okay, so let'll switch this
so you don't have to keep being angry. You know,
we get it. You're not going to pay it, and
(07:56):
understandably so I didn't end up paying mine for like
six years. Found out that it could come back on
my credit, like they could take it to collections, and
then you get like a warrant thing. So I'm like,
you know, whatever, I'll pay for it, which it does
go up every year. It said if I don't pay
it by a certain day, it goes up to eighty
five dollars. I'm like, twenty five dollars jump for waiting
a few days relax. Yeah, if I'm telling you, if
(08:18):
I'm being honest, just pay it now and then you
want to pay more later because I think I've paid
like three hundred dollars. Oh my god, awful, Oh my god.
I like bit the bullet and I was like, wow,
I should have just pat it. And that wasn't bad
circumstances too. But okay, we always get hit up. People
are coming to Nashville and stuff. I mean, that's one
thing to be careful of as a parking But what
are like three places people should definitely eat when they
(08:39):
come to Nashville. Let's give some Nashville recommendation. Oh there's
a McDonald's on Broadway. It's really awesome. Give them real ones. Oh,
real one. Okay, I know you love to eat, Yeah, yeah,
but you gotta I mean, listen, hot chicken. You gotta
do the hot chicken. I would say. Hattie Bees is
what I like. I've never had Princes, but it's supposed
to be really good. Or Bull's Hot Chick. I mean,
(09:01):
you have to get hot chicken when you come here,
Like that is the one thing you have to do.
And if you're here, I'm gonna tell you I'm gonna
give you a little secret. If you are here on
a weekday, okay, and you're looking for something that's delicious,
it's called back box. Let me make sure I said that, right.
I love that you said that, right. Let me let
(09:22):
me make sh sure. Bock bock Box, let me tell
you this is coal fired chicken. It is. I don't
understand how they do it, but it is so freaking good.
Back Box is what it's called. And oh my gosh, okay,
bock box, yes it is. But also, if you choose
(09:45):
to go to Hattybees, don't go downtown. There's like eighty
locations in town. Yes, do anywhere, but downtown right, well,
they now have one at that that new Fifth and Broadway.
Don't go there. But if you're already gonna be on Broadway,
you don't have to leave Broadway to get you can
go through. Then you can wait in line. But if
you're not on Broa, nobody, don't go there because there'll
be a line. But yes, I would say that. But
bock Box, if you're you're here on a weekday, go
(10:05):
there for lunch. It is simply amazing. And they're only
open for lunch. They're not open for dinner. They're not
open for breakfast. It's lunch only, Okay, So don't try
to go at six o'clock because it's not gonna be open,
and you're just gonna be like, and you're gonna be crazy.
You're gonna think I'm crazy because it's inside like their kitchen.
They cook it inside a bar, like they just use
the bar's kitchen to cook it, and you're gonna be
blown away. And how freaking good this chicken is? I
(10:29):
love that? Okay, that's your number one. What's two more? Well,
I told you how to bees. Well, yeah, we talked
about how to bees. But two others hot chicken? Well,
bock Box is not hot chicken. It's a different kind
of chicken. But it's so delicious. Okay. Uh where else
must you go? I would say, like Monell's for breakfast
(10:50):
family style? Family style, so it's really cool. No phones
allowed at the table and you eat with a bunch
of strangers, which is really cool. So if you have
three in your party, you get sat with three from
another party, four from another party. It's really a cool
thing and it just comes out family style, and I
love that place. I think it's really cool. Okay, more,
(11:11):
one more? Where else would I go? Arnold's uh down
South Cooking or whatever. I mean, it's a yeah, it's
like a hole in the wall. But I've heard it's
really good. Yeah, it's a really good like restaurant's just
like Cafeterious dye. You go down the line, tell what
you want. It's really good. Arnold's. That's what I would say.
Arnold's Box Box and babies and Monell's. Okay, so we
(11:33):
did four, Oh well that's okay, but yes, those were
That's what I would say. What would you say? Definitely Barcelona.
It's a tapas bar. It's like a wine bar, and
it's an edge hill, so it's also sitting next to
Old Glory distilleries. So you can go have tapas and
then you can go have some really likes called tapas.
Tapas tapas Okay, you tap dance, you don't tap tap food. Tappas.
(11:56):
I like Tappa's better. Yeah, I think it's tapas. Okay,
we'll tapas. Yeah, okay, I've been there a good one. Um,
and then Rose Pepper is my favorite. No, No, I
know you don't like guys, just hey, you know what
I've given these recommendations before and everybody likes it. Well,
right if you're looking, but you're that's Mexican field. I
didn't hate on any of it, but I am from Texas,
(12:19):
and so when you say that, I just want people
to know that that's not I mean, if they're coming
from somewhere that has real Mexican food, they're gonna they're
gonna be disappointed. I am just I'm giving a what
do you call that a warn? Um, it's not a warning.
This is a really good place in town. I'm saying
that you have to. I'm giving a disclaimer. If you
(12:40):
come for from where there's real Mexican, you're not going
to be impressed with it. That's all. You're hating on
all my picks, and I didn't hate on any of yours.
My other one, yeah, because you Roughs never anyway. But
I didn't hate on Barcelona. I just hate it on
the way you said Tappas. I know, Okay, Stateside Kitchen,
never heard of it. Best brunch ever, And not only
(13:02):
do you get bottomless mimosas, but there's a DJ at
brunch all right now, side kitchen side kitchen. I'll check
that out. I got buddies coming away a couple of weeks.
I got a couple buddies coming, so I need somewhere
to take on the b side. Kitchen is wild. It's
a great experience. Okay. Is the food good or is
just the experience? No, the food's good. I've had again.
(13:24):
You're you're kind of a little picky eater over there,
so I don't know. Food was really good to me?
Is it because you were drunk off mimosas I was
I ate before I got drunk off? Okay, because I
mean like I don't want to Yeah, whatever, Okay, No,
it's a good one, and then I'll give another one.
Can I take Can I take the kids there? I wouldn't.
(13:44):
People do take their kids there, but I wouldn't. Okay,
I'm not sure it's the best environment for that. It
can get wild by about one o'clock. One o'clock, got snaptime,
there'll be asleep. I mean I was talking about taking
the kids at like nine am. Oh yeah, I don't
think they even open until ten. Oh um. But since
you you hated on some of my other picks, here's
another one. Amerigoes. It's good Italian food. Okay, Okay, can
(14:09):
you hate on that? One. No, I've only think I've
been there once. I don't know. I know where it is.
It's right there, right cheeseballs, they're glorious, like right there
on West End kind of yeah, yeah, west End Broadway
whenever it like, can you explain to me how it's
the same road but it turns into west End or Broadway?
I don't know. No, it's gout construction that we don't understand.
Oh no, wait, you know what, No it is it
(14:33):
is brought Yeah, but nobody, nobody on here is going
to care about it. I know. I'm just saying it
to myself. I know, I'm just asking you questions if
you know the answer, Like the Chewies is the Chewies
on Broadway? No cheese is in Midtown demembering. Nah, all right,
this is inside talk that no one cares about. But
this is things I wonder about. But hey, if you're
(14:55):
coming to Nashville, those are some recommendations. Also if you
go online, I've put up a bunch of places yeah
that people do love. Even if Lunchbox gives them a
hard time, They had to give them a hard time.
Certified fresh by all of my friends, but all of
your friends don't come from where there's real men. All
of my friends that visit, all my friends at visit
tell me that I give great recommendations, So I know
(15:16):
what's up. People know, I know the real deal. Okay,
I'm just being real. I'm telling you. If you know,
maybe if you're like in your twenties, do what I do.
If you're in your like your thirties, do it lunchboxes.
If you have taste buds, do what I do. I
have taste buds. Okay, Well, here's Lunchbox getting a parking
ticket and not paying for it. Number seven, Lunchbox got
(15:37):
a parking ticket. I'm going to refuse to pay it.
I mean, this is getting ridiculous. So I was going
to pick up to go food. I'd placed an order,
and there's no parking on the street, no where. There's
this lot. But the lot is ten dollars to park.
And I'm like, I'm just running in and get my
food and I'm coming right back out, No big deal.
I was in there for six minutes and they put
(15:59):
a ticket for sixty dollars on my windshield. Sixty dollars. Sorry,
you should give me some time to get my food
and get out. None of this. Oh, it's ten dollars
to park, You're to run in and get your food,
and then to give me a sixty dollars ticket. How
can That's a ridiculous amount of money for a ticket
and I'm not gonna pay it. Did the sign say hey,
(16:19):
if you need to run and get your food real quick,
we're all cool now, I didn't see a sign that
said that. Then, Yeah, I bet you wish you would
have paid the ten dollars. It stinks, right, Nope, you
have to go find street parking. That's tough. Do you
think that you did anything wrong? No, there should be
some kind of grace period, like I haven't understand. And
then to charge sixty dollars like that's a whole day's
(16:41):
pay like I don't read, I mean yesterday. Do you
understand like when when someone were I mean, sixty dollars
is a day's pay and they want you to pay
that for a six minutes and for you, that's not
a day's pay. Let's not act like it was for
some people. That might be. But I'm not gonna let
you sit here, and we're all like, we don't want
(17:01):
to light our audience. You're doing all right, Okay, that's ridiculous,
but I'm staying I'm not saying it's not ridiculous, and
I'm not saying that there shouldn't be but you did
break the rule. Yeah, and surely the like there has
to be another plan for if everybody picking up it
to go order decided to park in that lot and
run in and get their food, then that would cause
some problems for the lot. And if you park there,
(17:22):
you're now on the clock. If someone sees you that
gives tickets, they can give you a ticket, yeah, because
they don't know if you're gonna be there five minutes
or an hour or two hours. You think they're gonna
wait for them. Okay, he parked here, let's get them ten?
All right, watching Johnny. There should be some kind of
grace period. Yeah, I don't disagree that it does. It
stinks right, However, that's on you. You gotta pay the ticket,
(17:43):
so then you know what's gonna happen if you don't
pay the ticket. It says if I don't pay it
within thirty five days, it goes up to eighty five
dollars and then ah, then I don't know, but I'm
not gonna pay it. I mean, it'll just be on
your record and next time if you get pulled over
an outstanding ticket and stuff you. Here's the thing. It's
a company lot. It's not a city lot. It's just
one of those parking companies. A sorry, suckers, you're not
(18:04):
getting your money. So it may not be jail times.
I don't know the empower people accountable, that's what I
don't know. That's the case. I'm never paying for parking.
You just avoid that lot again for the rest of
your life. Well, it's like, okay, thanks for the ticket.
Maybe someone could explain that because that doesn't seem you'd
think more people would just get tickets. Ticket from though
(18:27):
Morgan and Morgan. It just says parking location, and is
it from the city is I don't any Does that
look like Papa John's University? I don't know. It really
just says parking violation and it says parking notice. But
where do you send the money to? Is there addressed
an address? Oh? Yeah, there's a website. Go to the website.
(18:48):
If it's dot gov, you're screwed, your trouble. No, it's
dot net. Okay, what is it? What's the website? Uh?
Parking parking dot net or something. Hold one want to
zoom in on the ticket? Can you read that? Oh?
I did not a zoom in there you go, don't
say it out loud. Don't what the website. Well, he
(19:09):
maybe doesn't want people know exactly where he parked or
where I want. I don't know. You think he'd want
to because he loves when people to know where he is.
But Premiere Parking payment dot net. Oh wow, that's that.
You see Premiere parking lots all of it. Why would
you pay it if it's only like a company. I
don't know, that's what I'm saying. I'm who gave it
to you to take it aways. He made it with
(19:30):
a badge. No, it was just on my windshield. They
don't even sit there. They don't have that. They don't
have to cut to face me and give me the
ticket to my face. They're probably going to down their cars. Yeah,
but yeah, I mean sixty sixty dollars. Huh. Guess what
if it's not the city. I don't know that either.
There has to be some sort of But it's not
(19:54):
the city, buns, it's not it's private. Okay. So if
it's private, then you don't have to pay the ticket.
I I don't get that. Here we go, Here we go.
Someone wrote wrote a question, I got a violation from
Premiere in the last week. The statement says due May
twenty second, only not got it. It's mailed to an
address in Florida. The violation is April. I swear. Let's see.
Typically a single ticket isn't enough for the company to
(20:17):
take you to court. Okay, so that's what could happen
that they can take you to court? Got you? Yeah,
I guess you just don't ever stranger right to the
courtroom though. I'm not scared. Yeah, can you go two
for two and not scared? The battle in front of
the judge too, I don't get nervous. What do you
want to say to Premiere Parking right now? Listen, Premiere Parking,
you guys are out of control. Sixty dollars crazy day's
(20:41):
paid for six minutes in your park a lot. Come on, now, people,
you gotta give some grace. Let people run in and
get there to go to live losers. No, they're just
doing their job, but this is their business. I'm kind
of fired up right now. I don't know. There's no
reason to be I'm not No, lunch box isn't the
wrong percent. It's a day's pay, guys, right back in
(21:04):
the seventeen hundreds. It took a year and a half
to make it, and I'm not gonna stand for it.
And I just think about my days at Sam's Club,
pushing those cars up and up the hill for eight
hours a day. That's a day's pay right there. That
would have been a day's pay. How can they charge that?
They are not getting their money. They're listen. I may
go to jail, though, but I'm not paying. You'll never
(21:25):
go to jail. It sounds like a civil thing anyway, Yeah,
because they're not going to take you to go pretty civil.
You may lose your house, but you won't go to jail. Yeah. Yeah,
they can take my house or something. So you might
get sued, but I don't think you're going to jail. Okay,
So a rest rest easy, Yes, it feels good. Would
you go back to court and represent yourself? I would absolutely,
And what would you say. I'd be like, listen, judge,
(21:47):
they're out here charging a day's pay. Yeah that's pretty strong.
Yeah that's pretty judge. You know what You're right? Boom dismissed.
That's pretty strong. Okay, where do we sign on this
before we run? I wouldn't pay it team Premiere, I
say it. I mean, you just don't want to deal
(22:08):
with that. Well, you did wrong. You're not going to
be able to park in a Premiere parking lot ever again.
And they're all over town, That's true, they are everywhere.
So you did wrong, bad, Lunchbox. But I'm on your side, yes, yes,
And you want to see him go to court. This
is great for radio. Okay, last time we went to court,
didn't Edie GT kicked out of the court room trying
to film. That's trying to record it for the radio
(22:29):
and they got kicked out. It's the best bits of
the week with Morgan. Number two. This was a crazy one.
We had a sylegamist on the show. She married herself. Lunchbox,
I want to know how you feel about this, because
we just did the interview on the show. I don't
even understand, like she this is so ridiculous. I don't know.
(22:51):
When I was listening to her talk, I was like, yeah,
I would do that, Like I know, you wouldn't stop
M two. You are not a nuts So this lady
is nuts. She just wanted some attention, and so she
had a wedding for herself so people could come. I mean,
just who thinks of that? Like just because you like,
you can love yourself without marrying yourself, Like what a
(23:14):
weird that's she's off her rocker, Like you can act
like it's normal and oh she has good logic. No,
she's off her rocker. They're screws loose up top. That's
what I think. I feel like when she was talking
and she was like, well, you know, I wanted to
just really make that commitment to herself, and I totally
felt that, like everything she was saying, as crazy as
(23:35):
it feels, what commitment did she make to herself? Hold on?
As crazy as it feels, and how like foreign of
a subject it is. I feel like everything she was
saying was like spot on being somebody who's like a
single woman. Everybody always wants to talk about me getting
married and finding somebody and settling down. Like everything she
was talking about I totally related to. And so after
(23:57):
you marry yourself, are people on the street gonna be like, hey,
how can you not settle down? No, people are still
gonna ask you. And then they're gonna be like, like,
let's say you go on a date because she said
she still dates. Right if a guy picks you up
and like you're talking at dinner and be like, oh,
just fy, I'm married myself. Gone, no guy is gonna
stick around or girl, whatever you're you. If they hear
(24:19):
you married yourself, they're never gonna talk to you again. Period. Well,
I think that's how you weed out good ones from
bad ones. Though, too, that means there's she's waiting for
a guy who's gonna understand her. No, no guy is
gonna date someone that says they married themselves. Like that's
like saying, oh, I'm married a bridge, but we can
still date. No, no one's gonna no that's an object.
(24:40):
But hey, that object will never cheat on you, will
never leave you, will never steal your money, will never
murder you. So it's the same thing, Like I just
wanted something that's always going to be there for me,
so I married the golden gate Bridge. I mean, it's
the same concept. But if that if that's crazy to you,
then marrying yourself is just as crazy. I know, it
feels crazy like when I when I first her weird
(25:00):
bringing her on I was like, Okay, this sounds crazy,
But then I heard her talk and I was like,
I totally get it. I really do, like as a
single person everything she said like, I totally get I
understand you get it but not feel it. Kind of
marrying yourself having your dad walk her down the aisle
when there is no one up there to take her
(25:21):
is the most ludicrous thing I think I've heard. Like,
it's just it's so dumb. Like she was looking to
get famous, she wanted to be probably get a TV show,
That's probably what she wanted. And congratulations she got a
couple of press clippings. But what a weirdo cuckoo cuckoo.
Well now you know how Lunchbox feels about it. I
really enjoyed this idly. You went out with a dude, okay,
(25:44):
and he's like, hey, I just want to let you
know I married myself six years ago and I'm about
to celebrate my sixth wedding anniversary with myself. What would
you say? I mean, I would ask why he did it,
and if he had good reasoning, then it is what
it is. Morgan number two. I just don't buy it. You.
I don't buy that you would be okay with a
dude that married himself, you would think that's a little weird,
(26:06):
Like what's wrong with them? Like, is he just that's
he's not all there? I don't I don't not buying
every If I like everything else about him and that's
the one thing holding me back, it wouldn't be the
thing that would hold me back. If he has other
attributes that I don't like, then yes, oh you would.
You would find other attributes not to like just because
he married himself. That's one thing I just don't know.
(26:27):
If there's guys out there that would marry themselves. It's
a whole like movement behind women because everybody always wants
to ask women when they're getting married, when they're having babies,
Like it's changing the narrative. So that's what I like
about it, Okay, I mean, you guys, go marry yourselves
and everybody will look at like your If I ever
got invited to a wedding where someone was marrying themselves,
(26:48):
it would be a fat no, I'm not going no.
I mean I did feel like a lot of people
are going to feel the same way as you. I
think it's it's very forward thinking right now. I think
it's a foreign concept thinking. It's if it was forward
thinking everybody. Oh it's a great idea. No one is
saying that's a great idea. It's called cuckoo thinking. I
feel like in like twenty years, we're going to hear
a lot more of this. I just have a feeling.
(27:10):
Let's just put this way. I hope neither of my
kids marry themselves, but they do. I won't go. Man,
you won't give them away. No to who. You're not
giving them away. They already are themselves. They can't You're
not giving them away anyway. Oh my gosh, I can't.
I don't like this, lady. Okay, Well here's the interview.
(27:32):
I really enjoyed it. Lunchbox has all his opinions about it,
but it'll at least give you a smile. So here's
this a ligamist number six. We're about to talk to
Sophie and Sophie. Sophie, am I right about this? You
married yourself? You are correct? Yeah? And you right now?
Are you in the UK? Yes, I'm in Brighton in
the UK. Yeah. And do you say you're you're your
(27:53):
own wife or your own your own husband, or do
you not say like, what's that relationship there? I say,
I'm a salt mist, which is like the official term
for someone who'd married themselves. Salagamus wouldn't be solow, all right,
that's the root solo, that's it. Yeah, how why would
you mirror your I think this is interesting. I've never
(28:13):
heard of this, But why would you mirror yourself? I
feel like there's quite a big stigma around being single
in our culture, so it was sort of a bit
of a statement against that in a way, because I
feel like society is kind of obsessed with very munths,
you know, but you can't really live happily ever after
until you found your other half to complete you. Like,
(28:34):
people kind of assume that I'm going to be miserable
and sad, and you know, how are you still single?
Don't worry? The white person's just around the corner. And
I just kind of got a bit sick of that
sort of sympathy, like I should feel ashamed or had
to excuse, you know, make an excuse as to why
I hadn't settled down yet. So then I thought, I
feel like I need a way to express the fact
(28:55):
that I am happy, happily ever now and I'm you know,
I'm happy in myself and I want to have a
ceremony to show myself growth and self acceptance and self love.
So you had a wedding to mirror yourself. I did. Indeed, Yeah,
I had a self wedding in Brighton outside in twenty
and fifteen. Do you invite people to that wedding? Do
(29:16):
they have to rsdpeak? I'm going I'm having a wedding
right now, So I got to tell you. The rsups
are so annoying. Do you have to have people RSDP
to your wedding? I? Actually yeah, I sent out invites
on social and yeah, just to buy text and everyone
loads of friends accepted straight away and booked hotels, which
I was actually really overwhelmed by because it was it
(29:36):
was kind of, you know, a bit of a tongue
in cheek ceremony. I wouldn't have been offended if they
hadn't come, but actually, loads of people, yeah, showed up.
And do you do two sets of vows? Do you
read one to yourself and then moved to the other
spot and read one to yourself or do you just
say one set in a mirror? I adapted the traditional
vows from the plural to the singular, and that works
pretty well. Actually, her Instagram, her social media. As these largamists,
(30:01):
it's lagamist Sophie logamists. Yeah, I am someone who is
single almost all my life. I mean, I'm engaged now
for the first time. I'm forty one years old, and
I know when you I relate to people feeling sorry
for you forever because that happened to me. People were like, oh,
people are oh, you're just alone. I can't wait, and
I was like, hey, eventually I'll find whatever. I'm glad
I have to marry myself. I'm glad I found the person.
But what does it mean legally for you? Like, do
(30:23):
you get any benefits for being married but to yourself.
I think the whole thing about legally recognizing a marriage
is kind of to protect your individual assets. So it
comes to like a divorce. You know, you're you're protecting
your own assets. So I think there's no real need
for legal recognition of solo marriage because it's just you
and your own assets, cheated on yourself. People ask that,
(30:46):
but I'm not trying to be two people, so it's
not like it's a massive betrayal. If I'm with someone else,
and I wouldn't divorce myself either. Are you still open
if the right person comes along, man or a woman,
that you could marry them. Yeah. So the again, the
thing is, you know, self marriage for me is about
self love, and marriage is about romantic love. And self
(31:07):
love and romantic love. They're not mutually exclusive. They can
exist together. It's just I think self love. I was
just trying to raise the agenda of it and like
raise the profile of it and show that it's probably
just as important as romantic love. So it doesn't mean
that I'm going to live like a nun and never
embrace meaningful relationships with anyone else. I mean, you're kind
of encouraging me to mirry myself. She has a great point.
(31:28):
You know, when you first hear about it, you're like,
all right, she's marrying yourself. What does this mean? But
now as you're telling me why it's about loving yourself,
I do take me to be my lawfully wedded husband.
I'm into it. Yeah. Are there other people like you
that have married themselves? I believe so. Yeah, there's like
mainly women kind of around the world. I'm hearing about
more and more cases and like Europe, some in America.
(31:50):
I think in your family, what do they think about
the situation that you're kind of becoming known from marrying yourself.
And they were already kind of on board because I
actually wrote a novel about to before I married myself,
and they were so there wasn't a new concept for them.
But I mean my mom was a little bit she's
had three divorces though, but she was a bit puzzled.
My dad was totally on board, and he gave me
(32:12):
away to myself, and yeah, he actually loved the whole thing.
What's the lesson? I'm curious you've been you've been married now,
well you've been married to yourself for six years. If
I'm doing the math here, what's the lesson you'd like
to teach me about marrying yourself? It is just all
about self love and self acceptance and promising to be
your own best friend and be responsible for your own happiness,
(32:35):
you know, because whether you're in a relationship with someone
else or not, you should be able to fill your
own cup and not go to them asking them to
fill it. So that's what it is. Really. I think
you can be sort of happily invested in your own
self love journey and also being a really happy relationship
with someone else. I gotta tell you so, but I
thought you were going to come on and you're going
to be pretty nerdy. This is the truth. I was like,
all right, let's talk to selfish. You're gonna be nuts,
(32:58):
We're gonna probably have a few laughs. But I think
your message is amazing. I think your message fantastic, Like
it's all about finding you know you're worth within yourself
before you can actually ever care about finding it. I mean,
I think the whole marriage thing was a little nerdy.
I'll be honest with you. However, I do think, Sophie
that this is a great message. And this was not
the angle I expected to go with this interview. I
(33:18):
thought we'd come in be like like how crazy it is, Sophie.
But you're just kind of crazy, not fully crazy, and
we're all kind of crazy. So I admire that. So
what are you getting out of this? Like you're you're
talking to folks, like what's the goal here? You know,
I'm a self love advocate, and I think it solves.
I think when you deal with your own crap, you
know the less others have too. And I think it
(33:39):
solves a lot of problems in society actually, So yeah,
I'm just like out there to have conversations, start conversations
about it. And on that point about ceremony, I know
that like having a big self wedding ceremony might be
a little bit nutty. But for me, I do think
in our culture, like we don't have many rituals or
like writes of passage that celebrate our personal development apart
(33:59):
from marriage age. And if you choose not to marry,
then you don't really have anything any milestone. So yeah,
that's why I did it. But I think you can
love yourself in lots of different ways. You don't have
to marry yourself. Okay, well listen, I feel good about this.
She's at the Salagamist. If you want to spell it,
it's solo gamist because it's it's a tough word, Salagamist.
Her name is Selfie Amy. Anything you'd like to say
(34:20):
to Selfhie? Yeah, I guess since you did choose to
celebrate it with the ceremony and you had your own
little wedding, do you get to register for gifts? What
a great question. I actually said no gifts, which I
actually instantly regretted. If I'm honest, I could have done
with a nice gift list, but I just yeah, I
was like, no, your presence is my only presence. Did
(34:42):
you have a first song, a first dance song? And
did you dance alone? I invited everyone to my first dance,
so we had a whole bunch of us. There's actually
a video on YouTube of like everyone dancing to my
first dance. Crazy. What was the song? It was Trinny Lopez.
If you want to be happy the rest of your life,
you want to be happy for the rest of you,
(35:07):
than well, Sophie. I can't I have to say it.
I'm a fan. Isn't there a lyric in that song? Yeah?
I pick an ugly girl to marry you. Yeah? Okay, Well,
congratulations on six strong years of marriage to many more
follow her this slogamist, Sophie, this has been a real treat,
(35:28):
and thank you for your time and hopefully well at
some point we'll talk again. Thank you so much. I'm
good luck with you are in marriage. Thank you very much, Sophie.
It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two. Now,
this segment came from one of our post shows Eddie
(35:49):
told us that he had put together and on audition
tape because he wants to be a voice actor. So
we heard all of his different roles. You know, you
hear him on the show. Impersonate a lot of people.
Luke Brian, it's Luke Bryant. We here often. And so
we heard he wants to be a voice actor. Lunchbox,
do you think Eddie can be a voice actor? No,
I mean, see, that's what everybody tries to do, tries
(36:10):
to be like me. I want to be a voice actor.
Back in the day, I did never get cast. I
tried out to be a flack aflack. I tried to
be the a flack duck was actually auditioned to be
a flack. Yeah, when they were doing auditions years ago,
they were looking for a new afflack duck, and so
I tried out. I didn't get it, and then I
invented Squeaky the Squirrel and someone else I forget the
(36:32):
other name, and I know it didn't go anywhere, but
everybody made fun of me, and then oh, here we go.
I'm gonna I'm taking acting classes now. So Eddie thinks, oh,
you know what lunch is doing. I gotta do it.
I want to throw my hat in the ring to
be a voice actor. But he doesn't have any voices.
He just is imitates people, and that's not really voice acting. Well,
I mean there's different types of voice acting. I feel
(36:53):
like both of y'all could have roles in voice acting. Well,
I don't think. I don't think any movie comes to
Eddie or TV show says hey I want you to
come on this TV show and be Ellen Degenerous. No,
they would just get Ellen Degenerous to do it. But
what if they couldn't, Well, they're not gonna They want
someone to be their own person. They don't like In
(37:14):
Finding Nemo, they didn't go to I don't know who
the people are. Let's go with toy story because I
don't know anything about Finding Nemo. Don't know why I
came with that one, but let's go a toy story.
They didn't go to Tom Hanks and say or they
didn't go hey here, just you know, they had Tom
Hanks because his voice is famous. They're not gonna go
to anybody, Hey, can you act like Tom Hanks? No,
(37:36):
but I do feel like he could be capable of
doing that. If he could, he could work. I'm saying
he could act like Tom Hanks, but they would just
pay Tom Hanks then. But like, I feel like he
could do other roles. He just has to maybe show
it off. He's impersonated him for so long that maybe
he just has to figure out that other role. No, no,
but they don't want impersonators. If he could do other
(37:57):
voice work, Oh, you think he could create his own character? Yeah, yeah, Okay,
I feel like it's there. If they're looking for a
nasally guy like sounds like this, yeah they can. I mean, oh,
you want a nasally guy to, you know, be in
the movie We're great. Are you just saying this because
you would like to be a voice actor? Absolutely? I
mean I think i'd be a great voice actor. My
voice is so distinct, it's so different and just it's
(38:20):
very loud and man and deep. I think it would
make a great character, very man and deep. I think
it'd be great. Okay, Well, what is the update on
your acting classes? Oh they're still going great. I mean
how often do you do them? Oh it's a couple
times a month. And uh, I mean I'll bring in
some new material here shortly. I haven't. I need to
(38:41):
get something from the class that they've been recording it,
and so they'll send it to me and I'll bring
some in. I don't know which role. Maybe I'll bring
pasically when I was Pastically from Dawson's Creek. I don't
feel like I could ever see you being in like
a serious role. So would you stick with a comedy now?
I mean, you gotta be You've got to be multidimensional
as an actor. You don't want to get pegged in
that one spot because then you get tight casts and
(39:02):
you don't get other roles. You gotta be able to
do everything. I know, But you just give me Will
Farrell vibes that. Whenever I see Will Farrell try and
be serious, I can't take him serious. Well, I feel
like that's you for me, okay, I mean yes, And
that's that's my job as an actor to convince you
and to sell you on my abilities and to make
you forget about my funny and Wow, man, that dude serious,
(39:24):
Like that's a good I feel his emotion and pain. Yeah,
see how serious I got there. I wasn't joking. I
don't know. I just don't make me laugh when you
try and cry. Not funny, you know, no, still not recover.
Oh my gosh, I felt like I had it. I
feel like that was a good that was I feel
(39:46):
like I have a good cry though, like I'm good
at the cry. I feel like you have some good
acting chops. But I just I don't think I could
take you on the serious side. Well it's because, yeah,
I don't know. I feel like, like Matthew McConaughey, he
used to be just the rom com guy, and then
he got into serious at he started taking serious roles.
Did it take your while to get over that? I
(40:07):
mean no, he did rom coms and he did serious
That's all I've ever really seen him in. Right, But
that's what I'm saying. He only did rom combs in
the beginning. He was still like this, like very stoic
guy even in the rom coms. Okay, fine, I won't
I'll just do comedy. I'll just do comedy. Whatever pays
the bills, I don't care, I'll do it. Just sign
me up, let's go. I'm already just get a job
that way, right, put me in commercials to start, that's fine.
(40:28):
I mean, you didn't want to be the afflack dogs
or the du Yeah, I did Okay, well here's this.
You might not have heard this on the show, but
Eddie during the post show gave us his audition tape
and everyone on the show shared their opinions. Number five.
So on this show through the years, different people I've
tried to be voice actors. Lunchbox tried for a long time.
(40:51):
He tried to do cartoon characters over that didn't work
out for him. Right, I mean told now that Eddie
has made a demo reel. I'm dead serious the same
type of thing. This is how serious I am about it.
I spent three hours after work on Friday to put
this together. I'm like, I am gonna get a voice
acting job. This is the note Mike Deep left for me.
Oh boy, the full thing is two minutes. We can
(41:13):
stop when you when you've had enough. Oh you won't.
You won't have enough. And that's the whole point of
the demo. You're gonna hear me like, oh I can't.
I gotta hear the rest of it. Okay, this is
Eddie's voice acting demo. But bones, bones, you're you're a producer, right,

very good. What are you talking about? It's really good? No, no, no, no,
cookie Kerr was pretty strong, Thank you very much. Your
(42:18):
Cookie wasn't that strong. You're actually making the effort to

there's a lot of talent out there, right, Eric, there is,
just you're right, a lot of talent out there, right.
(42:38):
But sometimes it stresses me out. I like to escape
and watch movies, and one of my favorite movies is
Forrest Gump. Here's Forrest Gump if you want it. Okay,
can you guys hear? Ray? Are you talking abou my ear? No? Hear?
I never know because he Ray just talks to me sometimes. Um, okay,

my favorite is when producer Eddie does the Home Depot
(44:05):
commercials Oh okay, alright, this, yeah, okay, then are you
done with it? Because that's the last one and it
seems like you've made it through the whole demo. Real
let's get only because it's you go ahead, the Home

(44:25):
Thanks Home Depot guy. All right, well, special thanks to
to Kermit the Frog, Tom Hanks, Luke Brian and Eddie
Vetter and Elvis and everyone that came to help me
show how good of a voice actor I can be.
I appreciate your time to listen. This is something I've
always wanted to do my entire life. You can always
contact me at all. Okay, here's what I think. I
(44:46):
think that I love damn good in it. I love
how you did the real Yeah. I think people aren't
gonna want impressions with voice actors. They're gonna want to
hear origind you stop stop pouring it. I think there's
a there's a brief clip where you could do a
couple impressions quickly, especially the beginning, like oh whole curpety
for Rockier. We're gonna do show you some characters I've invented,
(45:06):
you know, Oh invent characters, yes, oh boy, Because people
don't want to hear your They're not gonna hire to
do cookie monsters, no I know, but they're gonna hire
you to be Wally the Weasel. So give me some
direction on Wally the Weasel and I can. That's up
to you. Yeah, You're Lunchbox has a squirrel that he invented.
It was squeaky the Squirrel. But I think if I
(45:29):
do a bunch of Squeakias and Wally's, I think your
package is good. That's oh is it? Hey? We're being
serious like fift like if you need about fifteen to
twenty seconds of that whole thing there. Yeah, and your
impression is weren't as good as you normally do them.
You're Elvis sucked. Excuse me, I thought that this is
all I love. By the way, your Luke Brian was
(45:51):
sub Luke could be better. Somebody that's listening to hire you,
I'm gonna know who Eric Church is, please, he's so famous,
like a Hollywood director who like has no idea what's happened?
Cut your music? Yeah, you know you did good and
you think Cookie Monster is bad? I do for you.
I'm only saying to hold your standards. You're much better
than that. How is Goofy pretty good? I'd give it
a C plus C plus in your home depot the
(46:13):
one it was terrible? That's the dude. Yeah, okay, all right, well,
all right, I'll go back to the drawing board. I
guess and I like it. It doesn't need to be
over ninety seconds, though, you do it quick. I can
do voices that already exists. I will go get okay,
dude two oh curvety frog here, So we're gonna tell
you about some of the people with voices. You do
need to then knock out some voices while the weasel
(46:35):
no I made. They just said that Jinny the Giraffe
all right, Okay, no, this is great, that's good stuff.
That's why I brought it to the table. I want
you to kind of critique it for me, and we're
gonna hit it hard. Get some jobs out there. Paul
the Pecker excuse me, what pecker? Okay, it was like Becker,
all right, I thought that that wasn't good. Amy it
(46:57):
was good. I thought I thought it was good, But
I do I did think you were going to be
bringing like a fictional character that you created and you
gave it a voice, because that's what voiceover work is.
Voice over work. Voiceover work is when you're like, oh, sorry,
voice actor work, voice acting work, yes, because like I
would you want someone to hire you to be like
(47:17):
a goofy impersonator or do you want yeah, so you
want to voice acting gigs? You need this show. Rework
it ninety seconds, Max, Well, listen to it again. All right,
thank you. I do like though, I will come to
you frog. You're to talk with Eddie, my friend about
his voice acting work, and that was challenging going back
and forth and doing those things. Mike d even said,
put it to TikTok. But I don't know. I don't
know about all. I wouldn't put that up there yet.
(47:39):
Can we find that? I thought it was pretty good.
It was pretty good. Okay, you don't want to put
up pretty goodna put up dang good. It's the best
bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, it's always
a super fun time when we bring in Jake Owen.
He came on, performed on the show, shared so many stories,
and particularly a story about Dolly Parton that I loved.
(48:02):
Anytime an artist has a story about Dolly Parton, I
love it. But this one is so good because it
really hit you in the fields. Every time he comes in,
it's always so good. Number four, the Friday morning conversation.
Let's go in. He's here, he's best gufs we have
we look forward to you coming in. How are you?
But I'm good man. I was excited to be here.
(48:23):
It's been a minute since uh you know I've been
able to do some stuff like this, so thank you.
Do you care to comment about your Oscar snub because
you had to listen the show loved you in the movie. Yeah,
we all watched it, and then you didn't get an
Oscar no nomination. We were irritated about that. I didn't
even know the oscars happened. So well you got snub
letting you this morning. Yeah you've been When did they happen?
(48:43):
I'm not sure. A couple of weeks ago. Did they
happen or they just came out with nods? No, no,
they were there now, they were like in a little room. Yeah,
oh that's true. Its ratings were terrible. It was different
if you'd have been the right. Hey, we did get
good gratings on Rotten Tomatoes with our with our movie,
by the way, it's like like eight. How were you
pretty nervous at The movie was called Our Friend. If
you guys aren't familiar, Jake played like a friend. I
(49:06):
played a friend of the friend, and basically, in short,
the movie is a true story about a family going
through a verily difficult time. The wife has terminal cancer.
Like heads up, it's sad, positive right now? On Rotten
to It's an incredible film. It's a true story, and
I think when people see it, especially in a time
like right now where everybody's kind of dealing with reality,
(49:26):
you know, and and that's something that I think a
lot of movies out there, it's like takes you away
from reality, and this one really brings you back home
to what it is and uh yeah good. And it's
about friendship and there needs to be more of that.
Did you feel like with your character though that, like
you're like, oh man, I kind of have to be
this totally Yeah. Yeah, I was totally that And when
(49:47):
I read it, that's kind of how I was scripted
or casted. And then I even question myself because I
was like, did they cast me? Because I am, well
you did a great job. Yeah, well yeah, see, I
mean comes naturally. Yeah. Are you Are you going to
do more? As anyone reached out and been like, hey
let's do some more acting, are you pursuing that? I
am not pursuing it. Maybe I should, but I have
(50:09):
had people reach out since then, and um, I would
do it again. It was fun. I really enjoyed it.
You have nine number ones now Barefoot Blue g Night
Alone with You, the one that got away Anywhere with
You beach in American country love song, I was Jack,
You Were Diane, homemade made for you. Of the nine
number ones, which one was just it took the most
work to get there, this one, and and and again. Man,
(50:33):
thanks to you guys for this. You guys have been
like praising this song before it was ever a single.
You guys would ask me about it when I was
on this on the show, and my fans out there,
like since day one, when other songs were singles and
I'd play this song on the road, people just would
go incredibly crazy for it and they related to it.
And then my team at Big Loud, I mean, in
an entire year where I couldn't visit radio and I
(50:54):
couldn't get out there and play, they got this song
to the top. So I think for all of us,
it's like a big win for everyone that was like,
I believe in this song, and y'all y'all are those
people too, So I'm very thankful for y'all. This is
the hardest working one, honestly, man, I think the next
one will be the hardest working one. Everyone is a
little bit harder than the last and you think it
gets easier, but like it doesn't. That's why everyone is
so special that you that you have play us a
(51:16):
little bit I've made for you Versus and chorus. I
remember it. Water tiers made for hard names and Friday nights,
made for football games, falling leaves made for falling in
(51:45):
the front porch steps, made ful good night kissing, and
it was made for you. Yeah, what was made for you?
It sounds so good? Man? Do you miss I just
playing for people? Like? Are you pumped to get back
out there? I'm really pumped to get back out there.
(52:08):
That's that's why I do this. That's why I started
doing it. And I tell people that all the time,
like this has been an odd deal, people being like
are you all right? Man? Like you know, you know,
you haven't been working in a while, and I know
it's tough fun you probably financially and stuff like that.
And I'm like, man, never in my life, even back
when I didn't have money, like I ever really worried
about finances because I just like to play guitar and sing.
And so this time around, like, yeah, I'm in a
different place in life. I've got more responsibility than I
(52:29):
did when I was twenty four years old. But I
still know in my heart that went on all gets
back through where we can get out there, which we're
doing now. Music is what fulfills me. So yes, long
to answer your short question, I miss those people and
I miss That's what makes me feel rich inside. Is
like someone smiling or singing along or relating to that
last song, and that's to me, Well, it's cool. I
(52:51):
have to ask how your daughter's doing. She's in the
hospital Paris. What's what's happening. Yeah, she's all good now, thankfully.
That's one thing you kind of learned in the hospitals,
like what happened? Okay, so we she had what we
thought was a cold and she just kind of running nose,
couldn't breathe. She has bad A lot of people out
there might know about this. Children with skin eggema have
(53:12):
like this triad of skin eggzemas allergies and and asthma.
It all correlates. And so when one's you know, heightened,
the other ones heightened. And her skin was getting really
bad and she it was itching a lot, and next
thing you know, she literally could not breathe, like just
stopped breathing and we had to rush her to the hospital.
(53:32):
I mean, she was it was bad, and then they
wanted to keep her overnight because she her levels weren't
high enough to go off on her own. But it's
weird when you see a little two yir old that's
not at the point yet where she can really say
anything and tell you how she's feeling on her second birthday,
like in the hospital. But man, I will tell you this,
I had more people reach out to me, other artists,
(53:52):
other songwriters, people like y'all. And it makes you realize,
like in moments where you're super scared, like people are
there for you. I mean really, like because I felt
I felt alone, and then I would walk I walked
in Vanderbilt, and I'm looking at all these other parents
that have their children in there too, and you're kind
of like frustrated. You're like trying to you think. I
don't know. I just had this feeling like I walk in,
(54:13):
like the security guards like, sir, you need to take
your temperature. I was like, you know, I just wanted
to like get mad at him. You're like, wait, my daughter.
But I get everybody's doing their jobs, and Vanderbilt was
incredibly helpful. For us, but just the people in general
that reached out to us really made it a lot
easier on Erica and I because we felt kind of
lonely in there. You and Erica are getting married? Are
you planning a wedding? Yet? I knew you were going
(54:34):
to ask this question, and I knew that I was
gonna happen, but you had to come up with the nances.
You open the door, you mentioned Erica. That's my qu
to go. Okay, speaking of Erica, what's what's happening. Yeah,
we're getting married, man, I mean, I gave her a ring.
We're gonna get married him. But I know that's the
thing though there's like, hey, man, I did it? Okay?
Come back? No, no, no, no, Like I love her,
(54:55):
we want we definitely want to get married. I mean,
but this whole past year has been I mean, when
I gave it to her, part of it was because
all of twenty twenty was just like this weird year
that no one and I wanted some happiness out of it, because,
like I told you, even though we weren't on the road,
like I was really happy, like at home with my
children and my and Erica. And that's the first time
in my life that I've had time like multiple days
(55:16):
in a row at home. Because before it's easy when
you're like come home for a few days and you
have that like lovey w relationship and you're like see you,
I'm out. Then you come back three days later, you
know what I mean. But when you're around tie twenty
four seven all the time, if you guys can still
be in love like after that, and I guess it's
meant to be. So we're pretty good, Like we don't
really we don't fight or anything like that. So we're
gonna get married. No, we do on stupid stuff all right,
(55:39):
Like I got in a really like i'm a i'm
OCD like bad, and so I was just mad. The
other day I started cleaning out our cabinets and there
was like seven I counted seventeen cans of cream of
mushroom soup. Now, let me tell you something. I've never
bought a can of cream of mushroom soup in my life.
And I can't remember the last time that Erica, because
(56:00):
anything with cream and mushroom soup. And so what my
point is, if we're gonna fight, it's over stupid stuff
like that. I'd be like, why do we have seventeen
cans of cream and mushroom soup. She's like, well, I
was gonna make that chicken dish. I was like seventeen
times that you didn't. Why do you have to be
like that? Why don't you? So that's the fight. It's
not like knockdown, drag out fights. So the answer is
(56:20):
TBD to be determined. Yeah, yes, and you fight about
dunt I mean the list of kay, I really fight
about dumb stuff. If we have to be late to
one more cycling class, we have to walk in and
y dark late. Oh I pull my hair out. I
was hauling ass down here because I knew I was late,
and I'm like, I'm cannot be lavering. I've never been
I've never been late because I hear you talk about
(56:42):
all the time how there's nothing worse to you than
people that are late, and you're right, and I'm notoriously late.
Will not be late for your joke, because I don't
want you to be like you were just another one
of those guys. You were here early. We've only ever
had one artist that was late late, and I just said, nope,
I'm not doing the interview. The same with the show
when they to be late. What happened? Yeah, we don't
(57:02):
come in and then they went home. They called me
like I'm be five minutess like, well cool, will We'll
be on time tomorrow? See tomorrow. But it's all a
respect thing, like if Morgan's gonna get your on time
and Eddie's not. Who's the first person here, Mike, well
Ray Mundo, because yeah, Ray, Ray is like the pillar
who is making sure it's on. Everything's on. The affiliates
(57:24):
are getting stuff before the show starts. But in this room,
I'm usually the first one in the room. Okay, but
that's okay, I'm supposed to be You gotta lead by example. Yeah,
that's write. Kobe practice harder than anybody. Jaco Win's here.
Yes he's Kobe Kobe fan. I'm actually not a big
Kobe fan. But okay, how does it get turned on me?
(57:44):
Losing we were talking about Jake now gets turned onto me? Uh,
let's let's hear a little music that think that always
breaks up to the awkwardness. How about a little bit
of homemade homemade? Yeah, okay, I'd love to play, thank
you very much. Jaco Win's here, by the where I
grew up. Getting dressed up means a button down shirt
(58:07):
and a good pair of jeans. Wasn't sunny supper without
collar greens. Dad was boss in christ As King Friday,
and I was living for the lights to come on
and a turn and Miller lights went a turns twenty one.
There's some things about me that I can't change. Always
be the man that homemade homemame me love a dirt road,
(58:31):
homemade me. Crave some mice cold homemade sweet tea. Only
Mama knowles, hide of me, if home me, homemade me,
a little small town homemade me. Want to settle down
in a homemade for the two of us everything I
love homemade nice checko out? Yeah, did you like that?
(58:58):
Like julps and feet out? But I did right there?
When are you going back out on the road? Do
you know? Announced into the month I got a couple
of shows that I have a couple shows at the
end of the month. I'm super excited about just me
and a guitar. Um. I'm excited for that because I
really picking up where I left off. In the early
part of twenty twenty, we were doing this what we
called down at the Tiki TNK tour and it was
(59:20):
just myself and my buddy Larry Fleet that is doing
really well, and I took him out there and we
just played our acoustic guitar for people in like little
uh like theaters and it was cool because I like
you and you could say, hey, play this song. I'm like,
all right, I play it. And it was a bit
of a different difference from obviously years prior just playing
big shows, and I kind of missed those. So I'm
looking forward to starting the year that way. And I say,
(59:40):
starting the ear we're starting year, yeah, your physical year. Yeah, yeah,
that's right. Well, if you could not play one of
your number ones, which one would you cut? Uh? People
really like eight second Ride? Yeah I hate that. Yeah, yeah,
we love that. We like it when come on, come on,
(01:00:03):
I swear I wrote it when I was eighteen. At
Florida State University, we played that when we like that,
and yeah, I wrote it when I was eighteen. And
my brother I told you this before, but he used
to have a He used to keep his like dip cup.
He's like in the center console of his jeep, and
every time I'd get in his geep, he would say,
watch out from my cup, man, don't don't knock that over.
So for him when I wrote the song, because at
(01:00:24):
the time I was writing songs for girls. I listened
to a lot of John Marion Dave Matthews at the time,
and uh, I was writing all these like love songs,
and um, Jared's like, you have to write songs for guys.
So I was like, all right, and I was like,
climb on up. But honey, watched the cup that I've
been spitting my dip inside, and I thought it was
brilliant at the time, and now every time I sing it,
I'm like, oh, here it comes out stupid. People love
(01:00:44):
that song. You probably at me for hating it. Now
every show you play it every show? Yeah, good, come on,
come on with it. You do that though every time?
Absolutely yeah. I can never recreate the perfect come on
though never. We play a game at my house, who
which person would you let babysit your kids? And we
don't have kids yet, but it's probably soon, right in
(01:01:05):
the next year or two years or so. And the
one that we're stuck on a lot, because I'm gonna
ask you this too, the one that we're stuck on
a lot is the debate between Raymundo or John Party
babysitting if we had a kid, like, who would we
leave our kid alone with? Ray? Or John Party? Why
would you ever leave your kids with? Well? It's it's
like what's the game where He's like, you pee out
of your nose and poop out of your mouth? Would
you rather? Would you rather? It's like if you were
(01:01:26):
if you had a kid and you had to leave
them with one of the two Raymundo close friends with
both of them were John Party. We I've all picked
John Now? Interesting of your country artist friends, who would
you leave your kids with? Probably? I mean Thomas Rrett
comes to mine. He's got a lot of them. If
he won't answer his phone though classics a nice so probably,
(01:01:49):
I don't know. Right, shut it down, boys, kids, you
know what I mean? What would reb answer you're called?
Do you have Reave a cell phone number? I don't,
but I bet she would if I could. If I could,
Do you have Dolly cell phone number? No? But I
have a letter of an like Sometimes saying no is
(01:02:10):
a beautiful thing if it comes from Dolly. And I
asked her to be a part of this song that
I just wrote, and she gracefully wrote me a no.
But it was incredible because I got this note with
the big Dolly thing at the top, and she just
told me how much she loved the song. Then, because
my last name is Owen, it reminds her of someone
in her life the last name Owen, and maybe one
(01:02:30):
day we could do a song together, but right now,
she said, she felt a little overexposed. But I thought, wow,
that's pretty cool. You know, I've asked many people to
do things with me before and they'd be like, Noah,
you know what I mean. But never has someone thanked
me for asking them even though they couldn't do it.
And I think that's a testament to why people love
Dolly Parton. That's pretty cool. It's it's incredibly cool, and
(01:02:50):
it's a cool story to tell too, and it makes
us like Dolly even more. Just I mean, that's why
when you heard that story about her saying no thanks
to the statue that's offered her, She's like, maybe at
a different in time, but those are the kinds of
people like when you ask, like, who would you want?
That's why I want my kid to be around someone
like that, because they learn from someone that's an actual
real person and it's not like they're just babysitting because
(01:03:11):
they're a star, you know, Like I think Dolly's more
of a real person than she ever is a star.
You know, you have nine number ones? Now? Do you
know the next single? You don't have to say it,
you can just say, I mean, I got some bangers
coming up though, because I'm not gonna lie, let me
ask you. Put it this way. I had like four
or five of my artist buddies and this never really happens. Like,
heard a couple of these songs I've recorded lately and
they all reached out to me and they're like, damn
(01:03:32):
you And that's like, but are they songs that are
already out or is your next song going to be
something that isn't out yet? Something that is not out yet?
Got it? Um? What's the first note of that song? Playfus?
Just give us a person note? What's okay? There is? Oh?
We like that one on? Yeah? A third note? Oh wow?
(01:03:54):
Is that your new next new song? I don't know.
That's really It's pretty solid though. And when you hear
the I mean I hear Here's the thing. I talked
to Joey about this a lot my producer. I love
all kinds of music. I think Made for You it
is probably like one of the closest songs for me
that I've ever released. It was like really like pointing
it as far as lyrically, but like, man, I'm kind
of my song. I've been good throughout my years, uncomfortable
with like just having songs that make people feel good
(01:04:16):
and sing along too and not try to overthink changing
the world with my music. And uh so I've strived
this round to get back to like those kinds of
songs would have been big for my career. And uh
like yesterday too, even like I've been growing this hair
back out last song was here short, you know, and
I walked by the by the marry Es fan Eric
is like, your hair is getting long. I know, I said,
(01:04:36):
I know. I'm back. The old Jake is back. We
love it. Listen, we love you. Congratulations When you know
Made for You is number one, homemade to it. They
killing it. You're just killing the things. Man, you guys
are crushing it all. Enough about us, This is about you,
your ninth number one. Can't wait, can't wait for the
(01:04:57):
new music. Just a big fan when you come on
the show, obviously I appreciate that. Thank you guys for
having me. It's always great to be here. There he is,
I don't know, of course, talking to the grit and
his teeth, all right, Jaco and everybody there is good
to see you. Thank you guys. It's the best bits
(01:05:20):
of the week with Morgan. Number two. This week we
had found out that our producer Scuba Steve swapped out
the diamond and his ex wife's wedding ring before they
got divorced. Sneaky, sneaky, but lunch, I want to know
how you feel about that. I think it's genius, Like
(01:05:40):
I mean, it may be one of the smartest plays
you've ever heard. Like you talk about great sports moments
the past, the hit, the shot heard around the world,
the you know, Montana to Clark, things like that. This
is one of those moments that would go maybe on
the Mount Rushmoor's of stealth, slick, smart moves in the world.
(01:06:00):
How he thought of this, I don't know, because I
don't think I'll admit it. I don't think I would
have ever thought of that. But he knew how to
pull it off, and he went and he got that
cubic zirconium and he pulled off the ultimate move and
they never knew and he got a thousand dollars back.
That is just it's incredible that that is the sweetest
(01:06:21):
type of revenge, the one type of revenge that the
person won't realize until later down the road. That is awesome.
It's not immediately you don't get to see their reaction,
but you can anticipate and just imagine when they go
into that ring shot trying to sell it and they
get turned away. Oh, that's just so good. Yeah, this
this segment definitely made me make sure that I never
do anything bad to Scuba Steve, because I feel like
(01:06:43):
his revenge would be so good. I mean that I
don't want to experience it. And it wasn't It's not
even it's not like he hurt anybody. He just did
something tactically that was just really smart. Like it was
just he did That's what's crazy about it. Was it's
no sneaky, so planned and so smart, right, and it
was so like and it was a I mean, it's
(01:07:05):
not a victimless crime because she probably got embarrassed when
she tried to go. But I'm saying it didn't you
know he didn't have to be there for the awkwardness.
He could just like he could be walking around like
a week from then, two weeks, ten years later and
still smile about Dang. I got her good on that one.
You know, that's the best type of revenge slash prank.
Have you done anything like sneaky like this in your
(01:07:27):
life that you've never openly confessed to No? I know,
I've never been in a situation where I needed to
steal a ring back. No, not like a ring, but
just like any type of situation where you were just
kind of in something, you did something and people may
not know that it was you. Not that I can
think of. I feel like most of the time you
really take ownership. I want people to know it, and
(01:07:49):
I like to brag. So whenever I do something, you're
gonna know about it. It's not I'm not gonna be
able to keep my mouth shut. There were people on
Facebook who were like for the most part, people were like,
this is awesome. There's some people saying that like in
divorce technically, like they could she could get the money
back for that ring. Yeah she could, but she didn't
because she didn't know about it. Do you feel like
(01:08:11):
people when they get divorced should give back the absolutely
give the guy back the ring. He bought it for you,
so give it back. You guys are splitting up. That
means you should not want that ring anymore. You should
give it back to him. He spent his money on
that ring, even though, like, technically it is a gift. Okay,
so we're gonna go through and divide up every single gift.
(01:08:33):
I mean that's annoying. Like, so let's say he owns
the house, but and you move in when you get married,
and then you get divorced. Guess what. Guess who gets
half the house? Yeah? Exactly. I mean, don't you think
he should just get the house. Okay? So what about
like a car? What if, like your husband or wife
gifts you a car, do you feel like that take
(01:08:54):
it back? Taken back all of them? Yes, take it back.
If someone gives you something and you break up, give
it back. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I don't
I mean, I'm very safe. It's sort of like I
have no idea what It's sort of like, you know,
in college, when you would wear your guy's T shirt
and you break up, you got to give it back.
Give back the T shirt. You don't I burn some
of us. I'm saying, like, you don't want the guy's
(01:09:15):
T shirt anymore, Why would you want the ring, why
would you want the car? Give it back. It just
brings up bad memories. It's time to move on. You
don't want to have his scent on your body anymore.
So give him back his little frat shirt, the t
k E, the CAPA sig, the Delta sig. What I mean,
just give it back. You don't need it. Yeah, I
do feel like if I were ever in that situation,
(01:09:35):
which I hope i'm not, and I feel like I
don't need you. Just take it out back and burn
it like you did the shirts. I mean, I hope not.
Relationships different than a marriage. I feel like, you know,
like being in a relationship it's a different ball game,
But marriage that's a whole other kind of commitment. It
is so I hope that I don't have a divorce.
It's so bad. I want to burden thing well here,
I just hope I don't have a divorce at all.
(01:09:57):
Every divorce has to be bad, right, There's no good divorces.
They all hurt, right, Like I feel like that's what
it is. Some are just mutually like this just isn't working. Yeah,
but there's always some bitterness and angry. I don't I
don't know anybody that's been like, oh, you know what,
it was the best divorce ever. Everything was so smooth.
We're just like, oh you get that plate, I get
that plate. Oh you get that cup, you get that cup.
(01:10:19):
There has to be fights over everything. I don't know anything.
I don't. I mean, I just don't believe there's a
good divorce. Okay, well, yeah, I mean divorces everybody. Everybody says, oh,
I'm not if I ever got divorce, it wouldn't be
a bitter divorce. Yeah right, you're a divorce to before
I'm gonna make it hard on your I was gonna
say something bad, but well, well, here's here's what I'm
coming away from this. As I hope I never get divorced.
(01:10:41):
I would give back the ring and that's all I
got regardless. So whoever my future husband is, you don't
have to swap off the diamonds. You can happen, Okay,
all right, oh well yours. It was even admitting what happened,
and honestly, it was a highlight of the week. Everybody
was so shocked in the studio. All of you listeners
have so much to say about it, So listen to this.
(01:11:02):
It's great. Number three Tiffany's is launching engagement rings for men.
Oh okay, so how are you on this? Maybe because
I already wanted to wear my ring and wearing on
my neck already sometimes huh but okay, So but it's
your wedding band. It's not an engagement man, so you
would get too. Yeah, it's an engagement ring for dudes.
How come we have Here's the thing that I've learned
(01:11:23):
now that I'm engaged and getting married later this summer.
You guys get two rings. Yes, you get a big,
fancy one to go look at me, I'm about to
get married, and you get another one to go look
at me I'm married. Exactly. We only get that secondary,
cheap one that's like I'm married. Yeah, there's no like
I'm excited to be engaged. You know what Tiffany's is
trying to do here or to more rings exactly, like
(01:11:45):
good money. That's what the greeting cards stores that do
with Valentine's Day flowershops is capitalism. That's best. But let's go.
So does this open the door for women proposing to men?
I think it may be down the line. Why I'm on?
Why not? Yeah? I mean, but women could do that.
They didn't have a ring, They never had a ring.
Most women I know, they've always come to be in
private and like, if I could just get ring, I propose.
(01:12:07):
The selection of rings are called Charles Lewis Tiffany, named
after the founder. They come in titanium or platinum. The
company says the rings honor the jeweler's long standing legacy
and love and inclusive inclusivity, paving the way for new traditions. Guy,
engagement ring, I'm into it. So you still have time
you could? You could get one and wear it? Why
did you wear mine around my neck a little bit?
(01:12:29):
But it didn't fall off the other day? Oh I
thought I lost it for a second. I'll put it
back in the box on the counter and it's just
going to stay there safely for a little bit. I
was reading this story too. One and seventeen men say
they've been proposed and turned down, Like that's about the rate.
One in seventeen, so you have good odds, and then
seventy two percent of guys when they did get down
to propose, they got down on a knee. I'm surprised
(01:12:50):
that it's only three quarters. Yeah. Oh wait, you would
think more people would not would get down on a knee.
Oh yeah, okay, I would think nine percent of guys. Yeah,
especially because this is all America. Our tradition is a
guy gets down on a knee. But then in the
room you have lunchbox who didn't get down one Well
let's figure it out though, ray Mundo, do you get
down on a knee? Yes? Where did you propose? At
(01:13:10):
the baseball stadium? But there was ice, so I got
my pant leg all wet, But I said, it's tradition.
It's symbolic. I've got to get on the knee, even
though my leg's going to be all wet ed. Did
you get down to knee? Absolutely, no doubt. I had
to where you like. Oh, it was my wife's old
apartment when where we met. She was living there when
we met. So we went back to that spot and
hung out and then I got down one knee. Oh
that's cool. You went back and I remember the good
(01:13:31):
old days. Yeah, the good old days. Right here, we
used to sit here and talk miked you guy, and
they saw the picture. Yeah, like at a park, We're
on a trail, yeah, Scooba, Steve exact a producer. We
get down on a knee. Oh yeah, most definitely Yeah
I did. Yeah, kind of trimmed up the old barn,
put a bunch of flowers and candles in there, got
down on a knee, lunchbox. You did not because you
proposed on the phone. Well, yeah, she brought it up.
(01:13:52):
My brother was getting married and we were talking about
the wedding and she was like, I think we should
get married. And I said, are you serious? And she
said yes. Nice said okay, And then so her mom
and her sister went with her and they picked out
a ring at the store and then when I was there,
I went and bought it and then I gave it
to her in the store. It was great. And see,
that's less than twenty percent, even just this room, sixteen
(01:14:14):
percent or so whatever that number is. But yeah, did
anyone ever think their person might say no? Because I
feel I didn't feel like Caitlin would say no. It's
like everybody was confident that their girl was saying yes, right,
Are you were confident? Yeah? She told me she's gonna
kill me the month before Eddie, didn't you get an ultimatum? Yes,
it was like Hooper, get off the pot. Y'all had
been going out for six or seven, both of you guys, right,
(01:14:35):
you were bay for how long? Six years? Slater was
our wedding hashtags? Eddie, you were with your six years
and both of them said, hey, marry me or we
gotta move on. Good for them for setting that boundary
six years. Do you go back and think about it
a long time? We should have done a little sooner.
And no one ever asked somebody else and got turned
down right like I didn't. Obviously, Scooba is the only
one that I could see that happening too, because we
(01:14:56):
don't know his whole background be getting turned out. Well,
you're like a mister man to us. The my my
first wife, I don't remember the proposal, but the second
one I knew for sure we're gonna get a yes.
The second one, you know, excuse me, the first wife.
You don't remember proposing. I don't know. I like I
blacked out. Come on, Scuba, Come on, you don't remember.
(01:15:18):
I don't remember the moment. No, it could have been
a drunken night kind of thing, almost like a Britney
Spears marriage twenty four hours kind of thing. I don't
remember the proposal. Are you serious? Did you get a ring? Yeah?
Did you get a ring? She had a ring? She
takes Yeah, she had a ring. Yeah, where'd you? Did
you get it? Or she got it? Yeah? I got
the ring I got There's a lot of stammering here.
We're not leaving everything. We're hearing Scuba Steve. She got
(01:15:38):
a ring? It was Yeah, she got a ring. But
I guess the part of them holding off of it
is when we got we were about to get divorced.
I took the diamond out of the ring and sold
the diamond and put a Cuba Circonian in. That's what
I was kind of fun. Did she know that? Listening now,
she knows for the first time unless she tried to
pawn it after the marriage. Hold on, I'm in a
breaking news Oh my goodness. So it's always something with
the most interesting man in radio crazy. You were selling
(01:16:01):
the ring, so you took the diamond out? Yeah, I knew.
I knew that this was coming. So when one of
her nights when she was passed out, and she didn't
wear the ring ray out in anyways, so it's easy
to obtain it and take it somewhere and remove the
diamond and put it in, replace it with the Cubasconian
and you know, a few weeks later we got a divorce.
So what'd you sell the diamond for? It was close
(01:16:21):
to a little over a thousand dollars. And then so
she thinks so either she still has a ring that
she thinks is worth something, yeah, or she sold it
or tried to sell and they told her, hey, this
is not real, so she maybe thinks it was fake
all along. Probably okay, And are you okay with that?
I don't care. Yeah, that's fine with me. Wow boom,
that's a good move. That's a solid move. Guys, take
note that play around. Dude, are you worried about revealing
(01:16:45):
that here? No? I could care less. That was I
mean almost ten years ago. So do you know where
she is? No idea? Okay, what about the guy friend
that you tried to have and he left you too? Oh?
So I found his email? You did? I was digging
through my emails. Some were buried in like a clutter box.
So it turns out it was my fault, and he
had hit me back and was all excited to hang out,
(01:17:07):
and which I was excited to hang out, but it
was in a clutterbox and it was my fault for
not returning the email back to him. Bones. You have
to explain that story from up on. The guy Scuba
try to meet a new friend in San Francisco when
he lived out there, and the guy was like, oh,
and he was all nervous. Scooba like getting dressed, putting
on cologne, and they hung out and they hit it off,
and then Scoop bit like, I want to hang out
(01:17:27):
again because you have any friends, and the guy wouldn't
hit him back, ghosted him, and then Scooba was like, a,
you guess we just didn't work out as friends. But
he did hit you back. He did. Yeah, all right, well,
Scoop boy aways left having you on the show. I
appreciate you having me. He's legit. It's the best bits
(01:17:47):
of the week with Morgan. Number two. Another one coming
from our post show this week, Lunchbox. You reacted to
my viral video. Oh man, we're really gonna bring this
back up. I mean, I feel like we have to,
which is something that the listeners need to hear. Okay, look,
I understand that you went viral. Great for you, congratulations.
(01:18:12):
It's just so frustrating that we do these dances, we
do all this stuff and nothing pops off, nothing goes viral,
and then all you do is do a little climb
up into your jeep and it gets millions upon millions
upon millions of views. I've done so much for this show,
and we do these videos and nothing goes viral, Like,
come on, like, how does climbing into a jeep window
(01:18:35):
go viral? And nothing I do. It's just it's infuriating.
It's sort of like the lottery, like I don't get it,
Like I try the lottery so many times and so
many different strategies, and by it at this gas station,
this gas station, this town, go to a small town,
go to a big town, never win. And then you
hear these people I played the lottery for the first time,
(01:18:55):
I won ten million dollars, and it's like, why can
it not be me? Well, do you want to know
like the reason update of how many views are on
these I mean I can tell about your face that
it's a lot So go ahead and tell me. Go
ahead and tell me. I'm pulling this up. The one
that's on my page. Are you ready? The one that's
on my page has hold on? Why can't I see?
(01:19:16):
Oh dang, they took it down for a copyrighting bringement.
That's too bad. Oh oh what if I reported it?
What if I reported it to Facebook and got you
taken down? Why would you do that? Because that would
be awesome? So why can't I don't know why? I've
all let me see the views? Sorry about that? So
maybe you've been making it up this whole time. They're
not been making it up this whole time. A. Yeah,
that would be great. That's a good idea. I'm gonna
(01:19:37):
email Zuckerberg. Don't do that, Hey, Zuckerberg, that's the ultimate
jealousy form. Well, yeah, that is exactly what I am.
I am super jealous. Oh here we go, and so
I want it. Okay, I got it. Let's don't get
it taken down? Two point nine million on mine. Great,
that makes me feel good about life. Two point nine million. Yeah,
(01:19:58):
but I think the Jeep Live one is really shot out,
so like it's really gone more. The Jeep Life one,
the last that I had checked this, I have to
do it on here. I keep having to do it
on my phone. Apparently you can't see views on your computer.
Don't ask me why. Don't ask me why, because I've
never had a video that I need to look at
(01:20:19):
the views because no one gives a cramp. It has
fifteen million views, so basically like nineteen million, eighty nine million. Yeah,
I got it. No, I can do the math. I
got it. That's that's a lot of millions. That's a
lot of millions that I do not to be fair.
Whenever we do post our like stuff that we do together.
(01:20:41):
I posted on everything. I kind of thought our egg
marshmallow one was gonna blow up. I'm surprised that one didn't.
I can't believe, well what I'm saying, none of them,
I can't. I don't understand why none of my stuff
goes viral? Is it just is it me? Am I
the X factor? It doesn't. I mean, I think some
people would argue that it's because I'm a girl and
I'm semi attractive. Maybe, oh, that's why. But I feel
(01:21:04):
like with the jeep video, it's not you're not looking
at my face. I'm not doing anything like I'm just
going into a jeep. I think it has more to
do with the jeep. What does it feel like to
know that all these people are watching you? It feels
kind of weird, Like nineteen million people are just watching
you over and over and over again. Well, I feel
like that's crazy. I mean like that, you know, that's
hit like across the world right because Facebook is global,
(01:21:26):
it's everywhere. That's what's crazy to me more than like
all of the people. So you like, people like dudes
are sitting in their office and they're watching that video.
I have to paint that picture. I didn't need to
paint that picture in my head. I mean, yeah, it's
that's what's so cool. I want to go viral people,
I don't care. What if I just lick a lollipop?
(01:21:48):
Well that please make it go viral something. What do
I need to do? Tell me, we gotta we gotta
make something happen to you. Either have to do something
really cool or you have to have a hilarious fail.
I feel like those are the two things that go viral. Yeah,
but the fails. I laugh at all the fils. But
who is rolling during those fails? How do they know that?
Are they just happened to be filming something and something
(01:22:09):
bad happened. Well, I mean, you know, during the Sore
Losers podcast this week, we talked about the fact that cameras,
front door cameras always capture stuff, so you need to
get one of those. I'm just saying, Yeah, we did
talk about that. You're right, You're right. Well, this will
be the last time I bring it up unless something
else crazy happens. Well, congratulations. I mean, Jeep put you
(01:22:30):
in a commercial probably next If that really mad, I'll
quit my job. Oh man. Okay, Well, listen to this segment.
This was Lunchbox first reacting to it, and he was
pretty angry. And it happened on the Post show, so
you might not have heard it. This week during the
Big Show number two, Morgan had done a TikTok where
she like flipped up into her Jeep a handstand, like
(01:22:53):
a handstand to the get into the window and then
she pulled herself into it. Yes, and you posted it
and it it did, Okay, you posted it did fine? Well, yeah,
I posted it on my Facebook page and as like
three million views on my Facebook page. Well, what I'm
saying is it got put over to the Jeep page
and that's where it took off, yes, which has like
ten million views on that one. Yeah, so viral on
(01:23:16):
their page. She has a video that's kind of just
gone viral for it. How many views? Millions? Ten, ten
millions exactly. Christ Oh my gosh, that's the story is
that he's been pissed about it. I mean I've seen
I saw it over the weekend. I just kept checking back. Okay,
now it's at this MANI this is so ridiculous, Like
we try so many things to go viral. I you know,
(01:23:37):
I've been thinking about this for years and all she
does was crawl up in her jeep and she gets
like thirteen fourteen million views. Oh she didn't just crawl
up in her jeeps. She did a handstand and then
pulled herself up. It was super cute. And jeep people
are like a lot of people have jeeps, so then
a lot of people were wanting to try it and
reenact it. Right. Yes, it was like the Jeep family,
(01:23:57):
Like it was getting shared on all of the jeep pages,
which I didn't even realize there was that many jeep
pages in the country. So lunchbox, get a jeep, just
find you just try it, try to do a handstanding.
Do it in your ultimate maybe maybe Nissan, don't pick
it up so annoying that she's walking in this morning.
(01:24:18):
I'm just like, oh my gosh, you probably think you're
so cool because you got millions of yous. Oh do
you make any money off that? No? I know. It
just went viral and then people were tagging me in
it and like the listeners were like, hey, that's my friend.
I'm like, yeah, it was, you know, it was the
friend of the Bobby buncho that went viral. That's cool.
So discussed why discussed where you should be like, wow,
(01:24:39):
that's so cool, cool because I want to be the
one that goes viral. Did do something to go viral?
It's not her fault, Okay, it just because you wanted.
You can't be happy for you can't do that, you
know that. No, it's like if you won the lottery,
I'd be ticked. I mean, it's like if you googled
Bobby feud answer, he just got a bone pick of everybody.
They it's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
(01:25:03):
Number two. A super cool thing happened on the show
this week. Bobby had met an artist out at a
restaurant we call them on the show, and then we
ended up bringing him on to perform. All of the
events that unfolded were just so crazy and you guys
were loving it online. It was a new artist. He
sounded awesome, He did a Michael Jackson cover and then
(01:25:23):
he performed an original song. Everything about it was just
really cool from start to finish. So this is when
he finally came on the show Canon Cox and performed
for us. We got to hang out with him, meet him,
and learn all about him. So highly encourage you to
listen to this back again and then go watch his
performance on Bobby Bones dot Com Number one. All right,
(01:25:56):
let me do a little reset on what happened. Kayla
and I were looking for some food. We're like, let's go.
She goes there's a place called Del Frisco's. I didn't
even know what that was, am I just dumb? No, no,
Because I mentioned that, you were like, how do you
not know what Del Friscos is? It's like I don't.
So we go into. We go in and we were
not dressed properly because it's pretty fancy canaan yeah a
little bit. I mean yeah, I was like what, So
(01:26:18):
we go in and we sit down and having a
nice dinner, and Canaan just goes, hey man, big fan
and leaves a coaster with his Instagram name on it
and a cell phone number. Continued eating, put in my pocket,
checked it out online. I said, Okay, he's real. But
what I checked was to see if he was actually
a fan or if he followed me on Instagram, because
if he didn't, this wouldn't be happening. It becomes up
(01:26:40):
and say hey, I'm not a fan and here's my
the'd be like, okay, well there you go. There you go.
He's being honest. So we called him yesterday on the phone.
How'd that feel this morning? Yeah, yesterday morning? Pretty yeah, incredible, Yeah,
expect that. And about the Instagram, I literally unfollowed you
after I gave you the coaster and followed you again,
just so it would be closer in your timeline, your feed,
(01:27:00):
just in case you would like actually go back and
look like, oh that's that kid right there. Interesting. Interesting,
We had nervous and crazier right now. Canaan Cox is
his name. You can follow him on Instagram. And so
we go into the restaurant, we eat, We reach out,
you're here, you woke up this morning, Where were your
nerves scale one to ten? Like thirteen? Nice? I love
(01:27:21):
that because it means something to him. Yeah, that's all
we love to hear. Yeah, I wait a call a
minute ago that said she saw you on a cruise
ship and like twenty fourteen. Those are the og fans, man,
the og fans there. Tell me about playing on cruise ships.
What was that like? It was pretty much the most
perfect way to do anything ever, And like your twenties,
we spend a year of my life in the Mediterranean.
You just wake up and this was all you did
(01:27:41):
for four hours and you wake up at today I'm
in Spain. Oh, tomorrow we're in Greece. And so it
was a pretty great way to save some money. That's amazing.
How do you get that job? Um? Just auditioning. At
the time, I dated a girl who was doing like
the bigger shows, and so she did some like connections
for me. And you sit down on yourself, singing some
songs on a couch and send it in like just
(01:28:02):
an agent. And so with that, I guess you don't
have to pay rent because you're working on the boat. Yeah,
no rent crew bars like sixty cent beers. It's a yeah,
so it's a good way to save lots of money.
What about food? Do they feed you? Yeah, they feed you.
I mean the crew mess is, you know, not necessarily
the greatest food in the world. But being being a performer,
you kind of got a little more benefits. You got
(01:28:24):
to go to some of the guest areas and eat
and do that kind of stuff. So, so you're traveling
the world in your twenties, you're playing music. Your room
is paid for it. Basically, your food is paid for.
You see in places you probably never thought you'd see.
Where'd you go up? I grew up in Asheville, North Carolina, Okay,
Mediterraneans finding north the Mediterranean? Yeah, I don't know how
to get there from here. Yeah? Pretty cool? Huh, it
(01:28:44):
is pretty cool. And you spend how long out there?
I did it for three years, so contractually like on
and off, you know, six months here and take off
a couple Did you have so much money saved up
when you got off the boat? Oh? Yeah, it was great.
And then you blow it on on new music and
music videos and all that. So I was looking at
down your Instagram you make your own music videos? Yeah,
I degrees in musical theater. So I have a very
(01:29:05):
big passion for like behind the camera work as well
directing and editing and stuff as well. So it's also
like a side hustle done, you know, picked up some
edits and directing on other people's projects. You know, what
I admire about Kanan is that sometimes you have to
side hustle and side side hustle and just to get
your art to exist. And they're good that sometimes your
(01:29:25):
stock is up, sometimes your stock is down, but when
it's down, you gotta do other things to make it
just so you can have that shot. You get that
stock back up. And so how long you've been working
at del frisco is down there? Well, I actually worked
there when I first moved here. Worked there for a
year and then the GM just become fans. I told him,
like in the interview, I was like, hey, just so
you know, music's what I want to do. So if
I just piece out of here soon, like I'm not
(01:29:46):
here to be your manager. So music became full time
until obviously COVID and then I messaged the GEM again
she was still there and I was like, hey, I
am not obviously playing a lot. If you want me
to pick up. I can do that for you. So,
I mean I've been back there since, um around October
of last year. What's the biggest tip you ever got? Hmm?
(01:30:07):
I mean people spend a lot of money del Frisco,
so I think it was like one hundred and fifty
wow or fifty bucks. But I mean the bill was
that was a twenty percent tip on Oh it wasn't
someone going it wasn't somebody going above and beyond me.
Oh you are a great, you know, great server here. Now.
I was just like, oh, yeah, we just dropped eight
hundred bucks day. So what's the most expensive bottle of
wine you've seen? Buy it? Like, what's the most expensive?
(01:30:29):
Because the place just look fancy. It is fancy. I
mean I enjoy I've learned a little bit about wine.
I've learned that I love Merlot. Now, um, from that,
there's a couple that I that I enjoy. Um, I
guess the the couve. I can never say it right,
that's uh, we wouldn't know if you did say it wrong.
From France. Yeah, Um, it's in the like to two
(01:30:51):
hundred Yeah, will you ever upset and be like listen
to Yeah? From Napa Valley is way better than I
can upset a steak. That's about it. I always lie
and say they's feature is a filet oscar style Okay,
I mean you know, yeah, that's it. That's like, we
never have a chef's feature, and so I'm just like,
the chef's feature today is the filet just added twenty
(01:31:12):
four dollars to year. Hey you guys, listen, As someone
who waited tables a lot in his life, you gotta
do what you gotta do. Yeah, you know you're hustling
that price up so that tip goes up. I know, well, Canan,
you have just been the victim of me loosening you up.
Thank you. And because we were doing a little sound
check before during commercial, he's like, oh boy, Like I'm
just gonna sit with them for a second, talk a
(01:31:32):
little bit. Is anyone else sweating? How long have you been?
How long you've you've been pursuing a career in music
at this point, I mean professionally, so about four or
five years now, moving, you know, but I've always known
that I've wanted to do it. With the cruise ships
and degree in theater and stuff like that, just performing
has always been the dream the goal, and the goal
for you is to be a big country star. Yeah yeah,
like entertain you eyes wide. Let's play massive shows at arenas.
(01:31:55):
Like that's the ultimate goal, right. I text my drummer
this mor and I said, put Madison Square Garden in
your your books in like three years. Put it on that.
That's pushing it. But we'll see. You know what I do.
I put my my goals on my phone lock screen
if I have one, and then I always see it
and I'm always and it doesn't slip, and it never
I never kind of lose focus. It's like I'm reminded again. Sam,
So there's no listen, you do it right. You can
(01:32:16):
be a Madden Score Garden in three years. So well,
that being said, I never wouldn't play all right, So
but I'm with the musical theater background. Did you do plays? Like? Yeah,

I wanted to be curly, curly, curly, And then my
teacher was like, Canaan, we wanted to give you curly,
but Michael, the only other guy in high school who
could sing, He's like, he's just not funny and so classic.
Will Parker has to be funny. I was like, what
about grease every to grease? No, I've had some offers
from like little like side theaters like out in Florida
and stuff like that to do I was supposed to
(01:33:19):
