Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two.
What is up, y'all? I'm back. Sorry you guys had
to go a few weeks without the Best Bits podcast,
but I decided, since I'm coming back strong, I had
to come back with Lunchbox. What wait? So there was
no Best Bits podcasts? Yeah, not for the last two weeks.

(00:22):
So are you telling me they could have asked someone
to fill in, and they were like, nah, no, one's
good enough that we have to just not have the
Best Bits of the Week. Well, I mean, technically, I
think it's my podcast at this point, so I don't
know that anybody could have. Oh man, if i'd have known,
you know, if you needed me to step up, I
would have been like, hey, I don't know if I
want to do that, because that's a lot more extra work.
But I had no idea. I thought maybe someone was

(00:44):
doing it and we just didn't have any Where's the
Best Bits? That's what I'm listening to. Wow, So they've
been waking up on Saturday morning and they've been looking
at their phones and looking, you know, putting their earbuds in.
They call me earbuds. No, you guys sound so old
a night sound old air pods? Is that what you whatever? Yeah,
I don't know. I don't like the ones where you
just stick them in your ears feels weird. But so

(01:06):
people been waking up and putting those on, then there's
nothing there. It's just been dead air. Yeah, I mean,
you know, they can to losers. They could listen to
sore losers. I mean, I don't know if anybody's listening
to the sore losers. But oh man, did I tell
you what the sore losers? I came up with an
idea what and we talked about it like last week,
and I think it might have been the dumbest idea

(01:28):
I've ever come up with, but I don't know, but
I'm gonna try to make it happen. I told Eddie
and Ray I was like, dude, I was out running
and I was like, I had this idea that we
should have a sore losers party in Vegas. Oh that's
interesting whole weekend. Yeah, like just everybody meet in Vegas
and have a weekend in Vegas to like bet with
each other and just came out. Yeah, And so it

(01:48):
may have been the dumbest idea ever, but that's what
I Yeah, speaking dumb. I mean, you guys are like
Vegas Central. I mean that's like where you're as personalities
truly shine. Well, I mean they shine everywhere. Every day
when I get out of bed, my personality shines, especially
on the Best Bits podcast. I was about to say
best of the weekend podcast, but that's not what it's
It's the same same concept. So we're good. Yeah, well,

(02:11):
welcome back. Yeah, thanks, I'm excited to be back. So
in Case, y'all, haven't you know heard this podcast before,
it's me taking the best seven segments from the show
and we break them down from one to seven and
then you know along the no, no, no no, you take
them from seven to one. You don't break them down
from one to seven, right, you go seven? It's like
a countdown, right Yeah. Yeah, that's my lunchbox is here major.

(02:33):
I was like, maybe at Case State they count up,
but you know, most of the rest of the world
on account that every time I do something wrong, when
you just take a jab about my college, yeah well
why not j Jayhawk family? Well actually why, I don't know.
It's really just because it's funny, like if if someone
doesn't where'd you go to college? You I say that
because no one's gonna make fun of my college. She's
utsa guess what, no one's ever heard of it, so

(02:56):
it doesn't matter. It's like they're asking that, like never
mind that. They're like where you gonna in itself? You're like,
you're from Texas. Yeah, where'd you go to school? Ut? No,
University of Texas at San Antonio. Do what okay? And
then they just like yeah, okay, never mind, Well yeah,
got it. Yes, I take them from seven to one.
And this week, of course, I'm having Lunchbox on with
me and we're just gonna kind of talk about all things,

(03:17):
just random stuff that's going on in our lives. You
cool with that. I'm good with that because I got
a lot of random stuff going on in my life. Good,
I'm ready for it. Well let's get started then, cool
cool coming in at number seven. I know you're gonna
be mad. It's right here, Lunchbox. But it was a
good bit and it made the list. You acted like
Raymundo's dad. Friends went into Joey how Cheers turned into Frasier,

(03:42):
you know spinoffs. Yeah, because like you acted like my
dad and then you're like, hmm, good segment. Exactly. I
had to take you back because you actually stole some
paper towels, and so I took you didentally stole some
paper towels, right, and so I took you back to
the grocery store and scolded you in front of the employees. Well, Ray,
he was just talking about, man, I got this on
my tire, dang it. And he was just gonna take

(04:03):
it and you know, not even care. And then I
was like, hey, don't worry. Your dad is here and
we're gonna go get to the bottom of it. And
let me tell you, there's nothing more awkward because you
I feel like, Okay, I could know I can't pass
for your dad, but it's a little it's more believable
than me being Ray's father. Well yeah, I mean Ray
got like eight years on me. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

(04:23):
It's a little more believable with you. Ray and I
are literally five years apart. It's not like a big difference.
You can't tell. I mean, especially you know, I look
so young and you know, fit and handsome. But it
was so fun like and when we walked in that
office you want to talk about just awkward. It's every
time you do one of these bits as awkward lundbox,
especially being like a second party to some of those

(04:43):
like trust me, I know that feeling. But like, what
I want to know is this is becoming a thing
where you're acting like a dad. How does it make
you feel that now in your bits you're having to
act like a dad? You are a dad exactly. I mean,
what's the big deal? I am a dad? But doesn't
make you feel old? No, it doesn't make me feel
old because it's funny. And I think what I enjoy

(05:04):
about it the most is I just can see it
in these people's eyes when you walk in there and
you say you're there, they're there, You're the dad. They
are looking going they're trying to figure it out, figure
out the math. Yes, they are trying in their head
to calculate how old I had to be for this
daughter or son of mine to be this old. And

(05:25):
they're just like, huh, And they're confused because deep down
they're like, there's no way that's their dad. But I
can't argue with them that it's their dad's so uh.
And if you can just see the wheels in their
head turning and them trying to figure it out. But
then they're just like, ah, but no, what makes me
look old is when I don't shave it. I have

(05:46):
the gray hair on my chin, like right here on
the front. That's what makes me look old. Not acting
like dad for you and Ray, that doesn't make me
feel old. It's the gray and the beard. That's when
it's like, oh god, well, and I should point out
that your hair, like when you shave like a day,
it's so ridiculous. That's why it's so hard. And that's
what everybody doesn't understands, like, oh, I can't believe you
don't shave. More. Listen, guys, I shave and like three

(06:08):
days later, it's all boom, it's a beard again. And
it's so annoying that maybe the most annoying thing in
life is shaving. That is my least favorite thing to
do is shave. It's terrible. Oh that's an interesting concept. Okay,
what is your what on top of shaving, what is
like your three least favorite things to do? Oh? My

(06:30):
weed eating? Oh my gosh. Yeah, yeah, it's so terrible.
Like I don't mind mowing the lawn like I like
knowing lawn stuff, you know, trimming the bushes, all that
but weed eating for some reason is just absolutely terrible.
You have to be so like specific and how you
do it and hold it up the whole hold it
up the whole time, so perfect. And do you wear

(06:51):
goggles when you weed eat? Yes, because my dad have to,
or sunglasses something something to protect your eyes. And I
wear jeans when I weed eat because everything you ever
like not warned, you came back and then you're like
bleeding all over your shins. Yes, I've gotten rocks in
the shin and it's just like terrible idea. And that's
when I knew I was older when I was when
I was like, you know what, I gotta go to parents.

(07:13):
You know, you can't be out there and wearing shorts,
sonny because it hurts. So weed eating would be number two. Man,
what's number three? I don't know if I have a
third because that those are the two that just really
drive me nuts. Do you have any so why I
can think for a third because I can't think of
a third. Ricord, Mine's kind of like a random one

(07:33):
in because I work out so much. But it's burpies.
I get burpees. That's not really one, I know, but
like that just made me think of something. It's like,
I really hate burpies. And my question is, and hear
me out, why are burpies so much harder? Like all
you're doing is adding a jump in there, Yes, but

(07:54):
it is so much harder than just doing a push up. Yes,
it's like because it's taken all your anyway and you're
having to take it all on. That's why it's like
such a good exercise. Make you do like fifty one
ppees and I'm like, excuse me, that is not what
I want to be doing today. And then by the
time it's over, I want to throw up because I'm
so noxious from going up and down. But no, I

(08:15):
was with you on unweed eating. That's one of them.
But as a as a girl, a main one for
me is getting ready. I would like, I love going
to do things, but I would rather sit on my
couch and not do anything because I don't want to
get ready. Like I hate getting ready. I get that
like hair, makeup, shower, everything, I hate the process of it.

(08:36):
My wife she was just blown away, like when it
comes to shaving, like she was shocked that people that
men didn't shave every day because her dad shaves every
single day. So growing up, she saw him shave every
single day. So when she got older, she said it

(08:57):
was blowing her mind that some guys didn't shave every
single day. She said it was just like a like
what is going on in this world? Like how come
they're not shaving? And so yeah, that's I mean, it's
just so funny to me that different things. But you
say get ready, because I'm with you on getting I'll
say get ready because when I was a kid, I
hated getting dressed up, and so I was like, I'm

(09:19):
never gonna be able to have a job where I
have to get dressed up every day. There's no way
I'll be able to handle a suit. Well, I wouldn't
even be able to wear a suit every day anyway,
because I'd have to have someone do my tie because
I can't touch my shoulders. So it'd be a disaster.
Your poor wife would be like, Okay, we need to
get you a new job. I got married, I'd had
to go to working like, hey, yo, Jim over here
at Jim and Accounting, can you get my neck and

(09:40):
put that tie on there for me? Because I can't
because I still don't know how to tie a tie.
So I just leave my ties. If I ever have one,
I tie it, leave it tied, and then I just
hang it on them and then I put it on
and I can pull it up and it's been tied
for years, and you just never never I'm not it
no emptying a charity event and I need a tie
and it's not tied. I'll show up and ask someone

(10:02):
like in the lobby of the hotel or the event
to tie my tie. That's amazing. I think I've seen
you do that at some of our events before. So
most of the time, I think it happens pretty quickly.
You like, find someone likes and you're like, I don't
want to enter here without this, go over to the side.
I think you can help me out here, all right,
Thanks Bill, you're a good guy. Well that's weird too
about like the beard thing, because I feel like with

(10:25):
um my dad, like back in the day, it was
like goatees and mustaches that were a thing, whereas now
it's like beards are a thing and not Maybe why
people don't like shave as much every day because it's
more common to have a beard. Yeah, I and my
dad had a mustache when we were kids, and I
remember this as one Christmas, We're at my grandma and
Grandpa's in Chicago and my dad's like, I'm gonna shave

(10:46):
my mustache off today, and I mean I had known
my dad have mustache, and I was like, I will
never talk to you again if you shave any shade.
And I was like no, and I went upstairs and
I would not talk to him for like a couple
of hours, and then I gave him all because he
saved his well because it was like I've never seen
him without a mustache, and so my dad was like,
it's okay, I'm the same person. I'm like nah. Oh.

(11:10):
We were like the polar officite. We were like the
ones who made my dad shave because it was like
one of those like pretty handlebar mustache for that's cool.
He had like the full thing going on, and we're like, okay,
like it's time. But this was I mean after he
had it for years, right, and we were like okay, Dad,
like it's time to go. And then he took it
off and like this is so weird. We don't know
what you look like without that, but you were probably older, yeah,

(11:32):
oh much older. I was like seven, and so I
was like oh my gosh, my dad's changing, Like I
won't know who he is one of those things because
I'd seen him with a mustache for forever and then
he shaved it and I was like, oh, you know what,
it's not too bad. Yeah, that's it. That's an interesting
concept to think of, like the identifying things that made
your parents, like I kind of who they were when

(11:53):
you were a kid, because you see them over and
it's like it's like if you have a kid and
you have really really long hair and then you shave
it off, They're probably like, who is this stranger coming
to pick me up from school? Yeah? Who do you?
What do you think would be like you're identifying factors
for your kids for you? Um, that's hard. Maybe anything yet?

(12:18):
Are they too young? No? I think the no, No, No No,
they're not too young. I mean they recognize like when
you walk into school to get them, I mean they
look at you and they see you and they come sprinting,
which is so weird to me because I'm like doing
things like experience and I'm like this which is so
mind blowing, gonna remember it because you're gonna be like, hey,
we did that, and they'll be like, oh, oh yeah,

(12:39):
that that feels right, right, Like why is that? Can
you can you can someone some scientist or doctor or
um whatever you call them people head people. Uh yeah,
there you go. Tell me why they don't know something
like why don't they remember before five? I have a
couple of memories before five, but that's it. And I

(13:01):
don't know why that is. It's so weird to me
to think that we've done so much, Like my oldest son,
baby boxes too, in his three years, we've done so
much and he's gonna remember none of it. Yes, but
then you remember all of it. Well, I don't know
most of it. I mean, like when you get you're like,
you remember these things about your kids. Well, I think
you say that, but once they're twelve, thirteen, fourteen, I

(13:22):
don't think I'm gonna remember it either, because my parents
are like, I don't remember that, but I'm forty. So
that's an old difference. Well that's why it's like the
parents and kids, it's a collective effort of memories. It's
like here they all are, and you're like that somewhere
along the line. Yeah, And I mean, I mean I
think Ray, for the rest of his life is going
to remember me being his dad. Yeah, this is true.
I mean yeah, his older age boxes my father. Do

(13:45):
you have any before we move on to our next
few things, do you have any like dad updates for
us on any kids? Um? Ones, three, ones, one and
a half and I got another one coming October twenty second.
And it's the size of a hiccomer right now, Hey,
what does? I don't know what fruit? I think so,
but you're looking look it up and it says, oh,

(14:06):
baby's the size of a hiccomon. I'm like, all right, legit.
And how's your wife doing? She is tired. I mean
she just wants to go to bed all the time.
And I'm like, hey, girl, we got two kids, let's go,
let's go, come on, come on. But she wants to sleep. Yeah,
and she's taking naps. She always all hate naps. I
I hate naps. And now guess what, taking naps a lot?

(14:28):
Taking naps, and I feel so worse. I feel so
much worse after my nap. I'm might that's not that's
not possible. She didn't feel that way with your first
two kids. She probably did, but I'm just it's just harder.
It's just harder because does that mean it's gonna be
a baby girl? Well? Probably, I mean, I am she's

(14:48):
more emotional this time, like watching TV. Wise, she cries
a lot more at TV shows and commercials and movies,
and but I don't know if that's just because she's
ex more exhausted is chasing two kids around and being
pregnant the hot, humid summer. Who knows? Well, but you
guys also don't know, right, you don't know that. We
don't know. You're not finding out until it happens. Correct,

(15:11):
What like would be your excitement level if it was
a girl? Oh, if it was a boy, Okay, so
a little more of it was a boy? Yeah, but
you do already have two boys? Yeah? Do you want
a girl? I mean, we'll see. Like you're not against it,
but like I'm not against it, but I'm not cheering
for it. Is your wife cheering for cheering for it? Yeah?
Cheering for it hard? Well? Yeah, I mean that's a

(15:33):
full boy household right now? Yeah? And a boy dog. Yeah,
it's all men in that house and a boy living
in that attict that we don't know, always throwing into
it's like a news story. You're trying to make a
new man, Well that was a good dad update. Yeah,
so one month kind of a month and a half

(15:55):
month are September first, we'll September second, third, fourth weekend.
It's only a month away. Yeah, okay, Yeah, that's I
didn't prepped for it, like baby room everything ready. Well,
I mean we got all this stuff from the first two,
so there ain't nothing really prepped. So let me ask
you this, like, because it's like y'alla's third one warm,
maybe two warm, So baby three you'll warre those clising

(16:18):
it because maybe one slept in it, maybe two slept
in it, so baby three you'll sleep in it. I mean,
I haven't had to buy anything. Do you guys have
like enough room for all the kids? Or you guys
get on the one and two share a room, okay,
and then we have a guest room, and then the
new baby you'll sleep in our room for six months
and then are you guys, then then we'll just put

(16:39):
all three in one room. It's gonna be like stepbrothers
on steroids. Yeah, I mean, so I have no idea.
We'll see what happens. I mean, or we'll get rid
of the guest room and put the hey and that's
another thing, if it's a if it's a boy, is
it rude to leave him out and put him in
a different room or put the older one it? So
you don't, I don't know how we would do that.

(16:59):
So has got some things to figure out. Probably next year. Yeah,
next year. That's when I say that all time. I'll
just next year or about that next year, next year.
And it's the next year, and she's like, what about now,
let's think about those things next year. Oh I love that. Okay, Well,
thanks for the dad update. All right, well you can
hear it now. Lunchbox acts like a dad to a
full grown man, not his children, but to Ray Mundo,

(17:22):
and it's pretty funny. Number seven, it's time for pickup it.
I've given you three options. The first bit is Ray
Mundo needs advice that I think could help out a
lot of listeners as well. It's a pretty good question,
it's not crazy. The second one is Lunchbox needs advice
about his cousin, which could be really good. But his
cousin that's the part that makes it good, Okay, I

(17:45):
think or Lunchbox doesn't hitting Mike and he goes in
acts like Ray's dad for a reason. And Ray is
with him. Which would you like, Amy, I would like
the audio of Lunchbox and Ray Eddie Bones, I too
would I thought audio of Lunchbox being raised Dad. Okay, well,
two out of three doesn't matter who the next boat

(18:05):
is that is the winner. So it's pick a bit.
That bit you picked today is Lunchbox acts like raised Dad.
So I'll set it up real quick. Lunch last week
in the parking garage, Ray found his driver. His driver's
a tire flat, right, Ray, yeple's happening to me too,
because they're building all these construction here and had a
nail in my car tire exactly. So there was a

(18:28):
dark piece of metal in your tire. Got it right here?
Oh you you do? Yeah, you're keeping that for a reason. Absolutely,
you'll find out in the bit. Okay, okay, So then Lunchbox,
what's the deal? I hear Ray talking about it, like, man,
something from the construction site was in my tire and
I had to get my tire fixed. And I was like, hey, man,
you want your dad to go over there and talk
to him, Let's go down there and march to their

(18:49):
office and get it paid for. So I was gonna
I have said, like I did with Morgan number two,
I took him to the construction site get his tire
paid for. Is he with you? He's with me, and
I'm his dad. I'm gonna do the talk. Hey, okay,
here we go. Excuse me, sir, Yeah, we got this
in my son got this in his tire. Hey, let
gonna call you a Barras. And he works right here

(19:10):
on music Row, so he had that the entire tire
went flat, And just trying to see exactly what you
guys do about that. I know you're building the structure
and yeah, you know, so things do fly off or
whatever A right. I would just have to be able
to tell if this came from monster. The only thing
I can think of this being would be a glass
one up frame. Okay, here we are they. I don't

(19:31):
think they. We were talking to the guy. The guy's like,
I don't know. He's already backtracking a little bit. Okay,
now I'm gonna give you options before we get to
into the cliff. Yeah, it's like to your own adventure. Yes,
how much does he end up paying for rays tire?
Does he offer a hundred bucks? Seventy five bucks? Twenty
five bucks or zero zero yeah, d zero Okay, everybody

(19:55):
goes rise how he pays anybody under his shot me too, Amy,
You don't think they're gonna i'm themselves, okay, Like yeah,
I'm just sure. First, there's no way they believe you're
raised dad. So did they look at you funny when
you said you were his dad? I mean he was
called off guarding. He was. He was on the phone,
I gotta call you back. He was like, oh, this
serious circus just walking in a way. It could be
the world's oldest kid. Lunchbox could have married raised mom. No, no,

(20:20):
we get how it could be a step dad, right, yeah, okay, yeah,
you know so things do fly off or whatever. Right.
I would just have to be able to tell if
this came from monster or not. The only thing I
could think of this being would be a glass wind
up frame. But they I don't think they've don't done
any on site cutting or how much can we get? Yeah?

(20:40):
Like how like how much do we get for the tire?
Like for that I can't tell you that by any
stretchers hundred I'm not gonna be able to just hand
you money because you have something in your tire on
the street. I would have to be able to prove
that this game from our drop site. Okay, possibly just
get a check, cut fifty bucks, call it good, twenty

(21:00):
five keep your tire, son. Did you blow out and
dropping him past the job side or no? He just
came out in the parking garage and then it was
low like after work like so it got into this
morning on the way to work. That's all. I just
didn't know what if that was yours. So that's all.
It was checking. But we'll go to the next job site.

(21:22):
All right, cool, thanks you guys. Well you gave up quick. Yeah,
but it was getting awkward. Well, yeah, the whole thing's awkward.
It was it getting award. It started out it was
getting awkward because he was just like, I can't cut
you a check, and he was like and I thought,
there's no way he's gonna know what this little piece
of metal is. And he's like all theos like a
you know that's from a window frame and we haven't
done any cutting on the jobs. I'm like, Okay, this
guy knows we're frauds, Like we need to get out

(21:44):
of here. But don't you think it came from that?
I do, But I mean, I had no way to
prove it well, I didn't you do it? Yeah? You
started it all tough and then yeah you got You're like,
we'll go check it out this right. How awkward did
it get? Well? Because there's about three construction sites on
music Row. We weren't present sure it was that site.
And then when he hit us with the glass cutting
on site, that kind of threw us for a little bit.

(22:06):
So yeah, that that was our trouble. You know what's next?
The next everybody got it right zero and we played
pick a bet and you guys made a good choice.
Today it's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
Number two. This was a fun one. A listener wrote

(22:26):
into our mailbag and they wanted to know about underrated
nineties country artists. Now, Lunchbox, I know you're not a
super huge, like you know, music expert or anything, says who.
I mean everybody. I'm an expert in pretty much anything
that is anything in this world. Like I have an opinion,

(22:46):
I know my things, and I just know you have
an opinion. Let's put it that way. So I would
like to know your opinion. Who do you think is
an underrated country nineties artists. It's easy. He goes by
the name with job Michael Montgomery. Oh yeah, yeah, I
sold you on that one, didn't you? Ye? Sold? Oh?

(23:08):
Did you see how I sold you on that pun? Yeah,
that's why I said that. It was like I sold
you on that one, didn't I she's an eight, she's not,
She's just then. I know, blonde hair, blue eyes. I'm
about to bid my good bye. Look at you go? Yeah,
you sing that song on charaoke sometimes, No, lie s

(23:30):
dance you learn as follow don't worry about what you
don't know. Li s dance, you learn as you go. Well,
if people are not awake, yeah they are, now for
that performance. I Love the Way you Love Me? I mean,
you're really messing with my mind? Are you singing three
different songs? Okay? That's yeah? Yeah sold, but like your

(23:54):
inflection ever changed? But no, no, I did it? Did
Oh well? I I did? Sold? Ye? I did life
s and Dance okay, and then I did I Love
the Way you love me? Okay, I can't love you
like that. Move Heaven and Earth to make you my girl.
I see like you sing some monotone that good? Yeah? Hey,

(24:17):
that was a fourth song? Did you know that was
a four song. Yes, but like you sing like similar
in all the different ways from I sold, I said,
she's a Nate, she's not red lips, one hair, blue eyes.
I'm about to That was different, I know, and the
other ones, and they all started blending together. I can't
tell if he's singing different songs. No, I did life dance,

(24:37):
live s dance. You learn as you go, sometimes you leave,
sometimes you follow. That's different inflections right between those two. Yes,
but like the first and the three. No, oh, that's
why I was. I love the way you love me?
You ever inquire as a kid? No? Yeah, hey, that's

(25:01):
one of those things. Let me tell you. I will
say that is one thing that I do wish I
knew how to sing, because people when they sing, they
look like they are having so much fun. Are you
sure you don't want to be a listening because they
can have the fame that goes with it. No, I
don't care about the fame. I already got fame. I
don't need the fame to go with it. I am
just saying just like when, like when we're in the

(25:24):
studio and Bobby and Amy and Eddie and you, they say, oh,
everybody's sing it. I just sit there with my tail
between my legs and look down at the floor because
I know that when he is saying that, When Bobby
is saying that, he's like, everybody but Lunchbox sing because
we want it to sound on beat and on rhythm
and like we know what we're doing. Because if I sing,
everybody would sing him she's an eighth, she's a nine,

(25:46):
and I'd be like, she's an eighth, she's a nine,
So I'd be way behind. I'd be way off beat,
and I would ruin it. And I'm just like, man,
that would be so much fun, And even at karaoke,
like I do karaoke, but I'm so bad that the
crowd at that point is just like, I'm gonna go
a beer. This is terrible. I would like the crowd
to just one time be like, oh yeah, and get
up and sing with me because it's so fun. It

(26:08):
was in Vegas a few years ago. There's me and
my wife and our friend Ryan, and we just were
having some drinks and we stumbled across this karaoke bar
and everybody's having a good time, and man, I got
up there and I could see the look on people's faces.
When I was singing, they were just like, hurry up
and end this song. Well, to be fair, I think
that's just about every karo happened. No, no, no, because

(26:29):
some people are like, you know, can fun and get
the crowd going, and like, I mean I try to
get the crowd going by being hyped, but then I
start singing, They're like, oh gosh, we are not hyped anymore.
I mean, you are learning and working on your rhythm though,
I mean we've seen it in the dance video. Well,
the dance videos is progressively better. I just sang four
songs for you, and you thought they were all the

(26:50):
same song because they were the same whatever. You but
you're not practicing your singing every day. You practice are
dancing everything? To me? Every time I hear a song,
I know, I practiced my singing, oh like in the car, yeah,
in the house. Yeah yeah, yeah, you're not You're not
getting better at that, but you are getting better rhythm.
So that's a good thing. Well, I've got rhythm, guys. No, no, no, no, yeah,

(27:16):
maybe not choreographed dancing. Okay, I'm not that good because
I gotta learn the steps. But you look like a
around like what bebopper around? I don't know what to
bebopper around is just I don't know. It's like a word,
oh I came into my head. But like when I
watched you, I just see that bebopping around, I don't know. Okay,

(27:36):
well you and you're be bopping around. If you would
have been at the club back in the day when
I was a clubber nude. You want to know who
could freak? This guy could freak. He could get up
on them girls and less for you. Okay, well that's
a lot different than liked them dancing how to grind? No,
that is rhythm dancing. You gotta be rhythm music. You

(27:59):
gotta be in tune with her body and your body going.
And let me tell you, I will never this one
girl a level dancing with herm just crushing it all nightline.
She goes, dang, you can dance for a white dude,
And I'm like, yeah, what a shout out to that
girl wherever she's at right now? Level level, san Antonio,
something happen to you as you got older because it

(28:20):
did not continue because because I quit going to the club,
I quit grinding. You know what I'm saying. You lost
your mojo. I mean when you when you quit going
to the club and you quit grinding. I mean it's like, okay,
but I bet you if I got back in the club,
like when I used to go to Vegas and getting
the club man, let me tell you, I woo those
girls with my dancing. Okay, yeah, all right, I go hard.
I'm just gonna trust you. But I'm just saying like,

(28:41):
as you've gotten into your older age, the rhythm went away. Yeah,
maybe you are learning it back. Yeah, And I mean
I'm getting my rhythm back, but I'm never gonna get
my singing back. But like I said, I missed those days.
Like if anybody out there, and probably no one knows
what level was in San Antonio, it was. It was incredible.
This this place was so incredible. You would show them

(29:03):
your eighteen year old I D, nineteen year I D
and they put a wristband on you. It was awesome. Yeah.
I mean that's how a lot of clubs used to be,
like back in which a tATu they would just act
like they're checking IDs and they'd look at it. Okay, cool,
here you go. Well, I guess we had them. You
were allowed to be there. That's what I'm saying. So
you were getting a wristband for being twenty one, but
you would your idea, all right, cool, like they were

(29:24):
checking IDs and they would just give everybody a wrist band.
It was like, this is the place. So what you're
saying is it's the underage bar. It was. It was great.
Level was so cool. It was so cool, and then
it got raided by the FEDS and shut down. But
rest in peace. Level. That makes sense. A lot of
those bars of that one typically go it went by by,

(29:45):
it didn't come back after that. But yeah, Level was
the spot, the spot. Yeah, I love that. I love
remembering bars that used to be like a really cool
spot when you were in college or in high school
or when I was out of college and they're gone
and you're like and I used to I used to
it every Friday night Element Fifth in Lavaca, come on down,
we are live. Fifth in Lavaca was in Austin. Didn't

(30:07):
you do something like that? Which too? Yeah that was
America's Pub. Yeah you did stop. Yeah, yeah, whenever we've
come visit, which I'll go to America's Pub. I'm telling you.
I used to be live on the radio every Friday
or Saturday night at Element fifth in Lavaca. And let
me tell you, it starts out, Yeah, what's up, We're
fifth in Lavaca, Element no cover for the ladies. Let's

(30:28):
go uh come twelfth thirty, who go see me Lavaca?
And you probably thought you sounded fantastic. I thought it
sounded sober as a bird. Sober as a bird. Yeah,
you're like, I sound great. I do. I did. And
it was like in the beginning, it would be like

(30:49):
echoes because there's no one there, you know what I mean.
You're trying to get people there, and you're like, oh, yeah,
it's crowded. It's looking look at that girl over in
the dance floor. There's no one on the dance floor
because it was just me and the legendary DJ Doc
No Man. Yeah, I'm like picture in young lunchbox doing
this and it's a weird thing to me. It was
in It was souble. It was a blast, blast, I'm

(31:09):
telling you, just a blast. Well to get back to
what we were originally, I mean I felt like it
was the nineties, but it was really the two thousands. Yeah,
it was gonna to be fair, though, two thousands were awesome.
I love the two thousands. Well, I don't think they
get enough credit. We're still in the two thousands. No,
we're in twenty twenty, we're in we're twenty years past,
but it's still two thousands something, so it's two thousands.

(31:32):
Well yeah, but I mean, all who we're gonna be
alive one it okay, you don't bring that that. Well,
I'm just saying, no, no no, no, no, no, no, non
go there, don't go there, don't no, don't do that.
Don't do that. I mean I don't know that, so
we can't like we have to reminisce on the two thousands. Now,
don't do that, Okay, I'm just saying, anyways, mine for

(31:52):
the nineties country, nineties, yeah, were alive then. I was like,
you probably don't know nineties country. No, I love nineties country.
That's because my parents, I mean that's all all they
listened to country music, right, But Martina McBride was my girl,
and I think she's super underrated for nineties country. Tell
me some of her songs. Independence Day, I ain't singing
to you. I know, Independence Day, Independence Day, Freedom Beautiful,

(32:15):
a broken Wing, Oh, let me tell you about a
broken Wing. I hate that song. Because no, just because
when I worked at Dunkin Donuts they played it over
and when The Broken, I think it was huge on
the radio when it came out. I would hear it
over and over and over and over and over, and

(32:36):
I was just like I'd hear it over and over
again in my head. But I mean, when the broken,
she still flow. You're not You're not wrong, You're halfway.
Oh my goodness. Do you know my baby loves me?
My baby loves me just the way. Yeah, see, I

(32:58):
go ahead ahead, that's all. I don't know. I didn't
hear the rest. I lost it my baby, and I
know don't even I know what you're doing. My baby
say it again. My baby loves me just the way
that I am. There you go. What's the next line? No, No,
I don't know the next line. I really next, I
really don't know the next line. New net karaoke, you're

(33:20):
great at it, you do great. No, please one give
me one more line because I need to know. I
really don't know, like at the top of my okay,
you're lying, Okay, I don't But underrated Martina McBride was fantastic.
I mean, I had every one of her CBS. Okay,
it never gets like, um really recognized when you talk
about nineties country artists. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I

(33:40):
don't know. I don't really to the side of the education. No,
I educate, but I don't. Hey, where'd you go to college?
The University of Texas, San Antonio Roadrunners beep beep. I
don't really ever have discussions with people like, oh, you
know what nineties countries. So I don't know if she
gets credit or not, like I've never Okay, well she doesn't.
Okay the most part, I mean, she's just credit for
being an awesome artist and she's from she only on

(34:02):
state of Kansas. Is she only nineties? Was she two thousands? Yeah?
I mean she had a lot in two thousands of
stuff too, but like she had some hits in the
nineties and just goes under notice, undervalued, gotcha? Yeah? Okay, Okay,
Well we'll get in. We'll get into this because we
still got more to talk about it with the broken way. Yeah,
sing us out, we'll bring you. My baby loves me.

(34:24):
I don't know, how do you? My baby loves me
just the way that I am. Yeah, there you go.
We go walking down the street, hand in hand. Okay,
now now we're talking about it all right. Yeah, I'll
listen to this. As listener shared her underrated nineties country
artists and Bobby ain't me Eddie, they all shared theirs
two here we go number six something. Hey, Bobby Bones.

(34:53):
I was just listening to some Jody Messina and thinking
how I love her music from the nineties so much.
I feel like maybe she's a little underrated. Just wondering
if you agree, and who are some of your favorite
underrated nineties country artists? Signed Donna? This is interesting. I
do not think Jody Massina is underrated because I rate
her so high. Yeah, I love Jody Missina, but I

(35:15):
can see where maybe you don't hear her talked about
as much as a Garthur or George Strait or a
Travis Tred I mean they're really But I love Jody Messina.
She's one of my favorite live performances in the studio.
Her music is so good to me. But I thought
about this question and who, even though they were known,

(35:35):
who probably should be in the conversation more of that list,
And so I have a couple because I don't think
Joe Diffie gets the respect that he's due with the
success that he had. For example, brought me up beside
the Jewbox, loved it, loved the video when videos were

(35:56):
an important part of the song. Pick up Man, Jam,
I never knew you you were a picked man. You
can sit fire and roll it down here traded for
a coop. David got John dear Green. Come on John
Green on a hot summer night. You vote really bad

(36:20):
love Starlene. I feel like Joe Diffy is one of
those that probably should be rated higher, already rated high,
but probably should be rated higher. So I'll put them
in that underrated category. The only one is Diamond Rio.
And when I think of Diamond Rio, obviously I think
I'm meet in the middle. I Start You Start Fall,

(36:40):
one of the best songs in nineties country period, Like
just that song alone stands by itself. But Norma Jean
Riley to me, I'm just gonna marry me. I mean,
everybody said you food, nothing you can do. I'm gonna
see what the likes of you. I say, watch GENC

(37:02):
No my dream, right, I gonna marry me. You got
good with every buddy. Marry me. I think you were
off verse It's like noticed me and then what a
beautiful mess. So to me, those two represent being slightly

(37:24):
underrated in the nineties. Have we ever had Diamond Rio
in here? No. I spent a little time with them
on a Blake Shelton video shoot, Oh wow, because I
was Blake the lead singer, and I thought it was
so cool and I didn't really have anything to say
because it was too cool. You're so cool man. Yeah,
that's basically. I was just like, hey, I'm just was
a massive fam my whole life. But Diamond Rio was

(37:45):
my first ever concerts. Thank you, Donna, close up the
mail bag, We've got your kea and I was found
the clothes Bobby mail back. It's the best bits of
the Week with Morgan. Number two. Another spin the Wheel
moment happened on the show this week and the loser

(38:08):
has to wear a cattail for forty eight hours. It's
kind of a random thing that got thrown in there
one day. Yeah, you know, we kind of missed over it.
High school girls are wearing cattails though, apparently like high
school kids in Kentucky is where the story came from,
are well Kentucky, I get it. I don't know, because
Kentucky Wildcats. Yeah, but I think that's a college. This

(38:30):
is a high school. I know. I was just being
funny because I was making fun of Kentucky at Fars
and that. I was like, and you're like, let me
fade into it. Yeah, I got to um, but yeah,
they were wearing They're like wearing fullblown cat outfits, acting
like cats like it's the whole thing. Um. So yeah,
somebody on the show, I should do that. Not going
to give that away because kind of funny how it
turned out. Let me tell you that wheel. When that
wheel comes in, I get my palms are all sweaty,

(38:53):
your knees beat, arms are heavy. Yeah, vomit on my
sweat already. Yeah, because that wheel has a weird way
of men with you in finding you. You know, it
just does weird things like that. One time, like when
we were they were trying to go to space, we
had to land on the wheel to go to space,
and I did not want to go to space. I
was terrified, and it landed on my name and I

(39:13):
lost right. So then I had to pay one hundred
dollars to have a reef spin and we put everybody's
name back on the wheel and we eliminated on one
by one and I was still once again the last
name standing. Then I had to eat the freaking hot chip,
the hottest chip in the world, Like the wheel has
a way of finding me. I hate the wheel. I mean,

(39:35):
I'm with you. It's happened to me. I had to
eat the world stinkiest fruit. But then it was delicious.
It ended up being good. Yes, but you don't know
that going into it, you know, well I understand that. Yeah,
so yours were we could have flopped because I would
love to go to space and you would have ate
the world stinkiest fruit and you would to eat mustard
on waterline. Oh yeah, I didn't do that thing. Goodness

(39:59):
pretty easy though. Oh yeah, you don't like I don't
like mustard. I can't, but other like weird? What foods
do you not like? Mustard? Mustard? Mayonnaise? Catch up ranch? Okay,
so you don't like condiments? What do you put on sandwiches, salads?
What kind of sandwich? Any kind of sandwich? Like just
like say you go to like Jersey Mike's okay, right,
what do you get as like a dressing? Oh? Nothing?

(40:23):
So you get a dry sandwich, dry sandwich? Yeah, nothing
on there? Nothing yeah, what else? What else would you
put on there? I don't put mayonnaise, mustard, ranch, I
don't put any of that. Yeah, I don't know what.
I don't know. No, there's a Cajun ranch. No, you
don't ranch ranch that that. Wow, that's weird to me.

(40:44):
So dry sandwiches. Yeah, and you you do not eat salads?
Not eat salads? Um, you don't mind like some dressings, well, yeah,
I'll do, like the raspberry walnut banner or garrette or
something like that. Is that what's called? That's right? Right? Yeah?
Or there's this one, um lemon something vinegar is lemon

(41:08):
vinegarette something farms it? Yeah, like I like those. That's
a dessert. I don't lemon rank pie things. What that is?
I think that's a that is a dessert. Okay. But
you do like dressings and side very leah. But I
don't eat a caesar dress salad because of the dressing. Okay,
Like if it's coming with sear, I just put that
on side and then I'll just eat the lettuce without anything.
You also don't like frosting. I know that. I don't

(41:30):
like frosting on cake, which is why I like cheesecake.
Is a favorite cheesecake is Oh, my goodness is so good.
But like, like there was cookies up here this week
with icing on them, Like, guys, you just ruined that.
It's just gross. Well I knew you didn't like cake
or covecake icing, so you also don't like cookies no icing,
but you like regular cookies. Yeah, regular cookies are fine,
but when you throw the icing on them, just like

(41:50):
it just takes away. So it's really like the the
extra addeds that you don't like. Yeah, I'm that things
people add, like the extra sauces and yeah, like you
don't dip your fries in anything barbecue sauce, see like
barbecue sauce. Yeah, but I don't really like fries. Usually
I will get the substitute whatever you can get for
instead of fries, I'll get that. Like at Chick fil a,

(42:12):
I get fruit instead of fries. At Windy's you can
get chili instead of fries. So even in the middle
of the side of the fries. This is interesting because
I literally just have this debate on my Instagram because
of my boyfriend and I we went and grabbed food
and I was like, you always like want fries, like
fries are the best thing ever. And he's like, no,
I'd rather have hummus, And I was like, that doesn't
make any sense. So, in a situation of hummus or fries,

(42:33):
would you choose huma hummus if there is an option?
Oh my gosh, there's like fifty of you in the world,
because like I put it on a pole on my
Instagram and there's like only fifty people that chose hummus
compared to like thousands such rights. Yeah, but you and
my boyfriend are the same in that fact that you
would choose hummus over fries. I just don't get fries.
I think they're overrated. They people love them, and I'm

(42:56):
just like, they're just not that good guys, And they're
good for about ten seconds and once they get cold, Nah,
you might as well just throw them out of the the window.
You know what. If they're like stringy fries, yes, but
if they're like steak fries, they actually do really good
heated up. I see. I just I'm not if fries
are weird to me, Like, I just don't. I'm like,
it's so interesting to me because that literally just happened,
and now I have two people in my life that

(43:18):
are hummas over fries and I don't appreciate it. I mean,
it's not that Hummas is the most amazing. I still
started dating my wife and no idea what hummas was. Yeah,
you've you've become a foodie in your adult I've I've
learned different things that I didn't know, like hummus, Like
I didn't I didn't get it, but it's cool, Like
it's cool now. I'm like, oh, yeah, I know what
that is. That's neat. And you know I've had before.
We had the other night we went to we ordered

(43:39):
Greek food. Yeah, and they have something like whipped feta.
Oh my gosh, you've never had whip feta. That was
so good. So we ordered something to night and I
was like, oh, this is pretty good. And so feta
is a cheese if you don't know, I knew, I
found that out. Yeah, but it's like whipped up and
sometimes I put like honey or yeah, it was like
it had honey on there, and I was like, oh,
this is pretty good. Guys like I don't know what
to because I'll get his whip feta and I was like,

(44:01):
what whip what You're gonna whip my what? And she
was like, no, whip feta, and I was like, okay,
we ordered it. Okay, I'll give her as credit. That's good. Yeah, well,
at least you're at least you're trying things right. Yeah. Yeah,
but I don't eat tomatoes. I didn't like tomatoes until
about the last two years. Really, even being a vegetarian,
you gotta like everything. No, oh no, I hate Honestly,

(44:23):
I was the worst vegetarian lunch like I was. No,
I'm still like I used to be like a worse
vegetarian because all I would eat is like cheese beets
and grilled cheese cheesecastity is like nothing healthy, right, And
never I hated vegetables. Yeah that's not good. And then
as I got older, now I eat so many different
things that I never thought was ever gonna be possible.

(44:45):
But I love tomatoes. I used to hate tomatoes and
now I eat them on my sandwiches. Oh no, see
all my sandwiches, I put cheese pickles there, you go,
cheese pickles and meats. It. We're like the polar opposite
and the fact belt like you don't put anything on,
but like I don't put any meat on, so it
looks I gotta put anything on. It's like cheese, lettuce, tomatoes,
black olives, mayo, mustard. It's like all the extra Yeah,

(45:07):
you know, like you know what another thing wasted? You
put it on a sandwich or burger. You know it's
a waste. What lettuce? Why do you put that on there? Oh? Lattice?
It just adds like a little freshness layer. Now it
just tastes like cardboard so much. Just takets like cardboard,
Like why I put that on there? Get that on there?
Oh man? Okay, so you do have a foodie take
You have an expensive palette, but like, I mean, I

(45:30):
don't know if I have an expensive palette, but I
have a like I've tried new foods and I'm like,
oh that's pretty cool. Yeah, but you like like new foods,
but if you don't like basics, yeah, because like lattice
to mate mushrooms and don't like mushrooms either. Yeah, those
are I feel like people are either like love it
or hate it. Yeah. Olives like avocados, Oh yeah, avocado

(45:52):
didn't like those until like the last few years. You
were a terrible vegetarian. I mean, I bet your mom
wanted to crush you o them. Yeah. Yeah, I guess
your dad too. For my meals, um, I would often
get made mac and cheese with mashed potatoes and bread
and butter. Okay, did you ever have a sugar sandwich? No? Okay,

(46:15):
but well, but I didn't know what that was either.
My mom asked me the other night, hey, like, did
you guys ever have sugar sandwiches? What is it? It's
just bread and sugar. I guess I don't know, because
she was talking about she saw it somewhere on TV
or something, and she was like, people were talking about,
oh I remember having and she was like, I don't
remember well, and I didn't know what that was. I
did have, like, um, cinnamon sugar, so like, yeah, I

(46:36):
would toast. It wouldn't be just like plain bread. Oh
I know what you're saying. Yeah, but like you toast
some bread and sugar. Oh my gosh, I do think
it was a thing in the Midwest. To me back, oh,
that's so good, so good, so healthy too, so healthy.
I would have like the little container in the cabinet
that was specifically cinnamon sugar. Up. You didn't like, yeah,

(46:59):
it was like always ready. Yeah. In our household, it
was an old butter container, Like we cleaned out the
butter container and then we put that. We mixed it
in there, and you shake it up and then it
goes from like you pour the sugar in first and
then the cinnamon on top, and then you shake it
up and it mixes. Oh man, guys, let me tell
you you never had that. If you ever do peanut
butter toast? Did you ever? Do you ever do peanut

(47:19):
butter toast? I like peanut butter toast with honey, yeah, okay,
but if you put butter on there and then peanut butter,
Oh my god, how are you putting on there? Well,
it's a different butter. But I don't know, Like I mean,
the peanut is used to like fill in for the
butter lunch rock. No, no, I understand. It's not as healthy,
but it is good, like good. I might try both

(47:42):
of those again this weekend. Well, I'll try yours for
the first time. But like I mean, that cement, that's
what we should do. You should put it on the
wheel and spin it and be like, oh, what am
I eating today? Am I eating cinnamon sugar sandwich? Am
I eating cinnamon and sugar? Or am I eating peanut
butter and butter. I do not need to bring that
negativity of a spinning wheel into my life. Lunchbox, you
can stay personal. That's how we should make our decisions

(48:04):
in life from now on. No longer coin fl just
spin a wheel. No, because when the wheel spins, it
gives me so much anxiety. And then wherever you're at,
you had to tell people, let's spin that wheel. People
like randomly all across the tree like sevening wheels all
the time, like all right, hello, sir man, welcome to cheddars.

(48:25):
What are we going to do tonight? Hold on, let
me spin this wheel. Looks like I'm going with the
grilled catfish all right. Oh my gosh, the servers and
you know, people in the hospitality industry would hate us.
Oh sir, you're in the hospital to day. What are
you here to see us for? Hold on, let me
spin that wheel to my left foot. Oh my gosh,

(48:49):
funny concept. I think you should do it for a week.
I don't know if I can care that wheel around.
Let's seven, No, but like a small and like the
different numbers, and then you let's out what the numbers are.

just like a thing for you. I like that. I'll
pitch that for you. No, I'm pitching that for you. No,

looks like kind of like a raccoon like tigger. Yes, cool,

(49:57):
I'm gonna spin the wheel. Awesome. Do you guys want

(54:35):
bits of the week. With Morgan number two, we had
Taylor Acorn on the show and she performed her song
Like the Movies. She also talked about, you know, all
the TikTok videos she does in the inspiration behind that song.
So give this a listen. She's a new artist that
Bobby loves and she is awesome. Number four on the

(54:59):
Bobby Bones Show. Now, Taylor Acorn. Taylor is one of
my favorite new artists in Nashville. And you came in
once with a bunch of TikTok people, right, I did, Yeah,
And then you had I think like eighty or ninety
thousand TikTok followers. Now you have over two hundred thousand. Yeah,
what are you doing on TikTok that's working so well?
Do you think? Honestly? Just putting out covers of songs

(55:20):
that I love. It's been really cool because it's like
hitting almost like a new vein of people that I
never thought I would all of like the old school
emo kids like me. So, I mean, I don't know,
just putting out songs that I love, and I don't
know what's been taken off. I guess we'd play you
a lot, and I'll put you on the Women of
I Heart Country The national show that we do and

(55:41):
it gets such a great response. Oh thank you. We
have this song that we've put in called Like the Movies,
which is your song. It's mine ya. Yeah, did you
write that one? I did, So tell me about that
you walk into the room, and who do you write
it with and what's kind of the idea behind it.
I actually wrote that one by myself. Wow. Yeah. So
I was sitting in my living room it was like
mid COVID and just kind of reflecting on a lot

(56:04):
of past situations, relationships in my life and just things
that have happened. I talk about the first first my
dad passed away when I was really young, and kind
of seeing my mom go through situations from when I
was young till growing up in relationships, and I was like,
you know, this is kind of a cool concept that

(56:24):
I don't think I've ever really touched on, and I
had never really told a bunch of people that I
had been in that situation. So just kind of sat
there with myself and was like, I'm going to write
a song and wrote the chorus. Thought it was really cool,
took it to my producer Andrew, and we just kind
of we finished it up and now it's like the
movies and you guys play it, which is really awesome.

(56:47):
Would I know you have your guitar with you? Would
you mind playing us some of like the movies? Yeah,
of course. Taylor Acorn is here, right, she prepares herself.
Follow her on Instagram at Taylor Acorn Music and she
has a different TikTok name which messes me up here
at Taylor Acorn one. But here is like the movies
from Taylor Acorn, when no one comes to save you,

(57:08):
you'll learn to save yourself while watching them ride open
to the sun with someone else. No, it's not all that.
It's good out to be. Oh when the lights come
on and the ruggist world which she was exposed before

(57:32):
the Curtains post. But it's not and it hurts because
it's real. Love ain't like the movies. It can't save
you with a song. It ain't one big happy ends.
And when you wake up and it's all God, no

(57:52):
one comes to save you. You learn to save yourself.
The world. It just keep schooling on while you're going
through hell. No, it's not all that it's good out
to be. You cannot behind a silver screen loving like

(58:19):
the moviees Oh, Taylor Acorn, that's so good. Thank you.
It is such the perspective is so true, and so
many people can appreciate that on thank you. Taylor will

(58:43):
be out with us on Saturday and Sunday and come
and watch our perform because as you can hear, she
is so good. You can follow her on Instagram or TikTok.
I do have some of your TikTok clips because you
do what's called emo countries, so your country artist, but
you also do emo songs like I'm Back in the Day,
which is fun. Here is a clip of her doing
Google dolls. Iris to see me. Cassato think that I

(59:13):
would stream this as this is such a good version
of it. I think the first song I ever played
of Taylor's was a cover, a Matchbox twenty cover. Yeah
it was unwell. Yeah, I'm not crazy, I'm just a
little I've played that on the female shows. I guess I've,
like secretly even to myself, been a massive Taylor Acorn
fan for a long time. Who knew? Um here is unwell?

(59:34):
This is Taylor's Matchbox twenty cover. Yeah, I'm not crazy,
I'm just a little well, I don't know. Run you
cancel but stay well, maybe they'll say a Differensma, I'm
not crazy. Did you get made fun of as a
kid for the last name acorn Um? I mean, not

(59:58):
really made fun of. More so people would be like, oh,
you're a nut, or like I ran track in college
and my coach would always say Taylor's squirrel. I don't
know why he thought it was so funny, but I
feel like little like things like that or Taylor Walnut,
you know, but anybody, I mean, I guess it's hard
to make fun of the name Acorn. Yeah, it's kind

(01:00:18):
of cool. It's like I love that acorn spice countertop spray. Well,
my best friend growing up was named Michael Pinecone and
he always I'm just it wasn't I was gonna say.
You never know. Listen, Taylor, I'm a massive fan. So
thank you for performing for us, and then thank you
for coming out this weekend and people can come out
to New Bronfels between Austin and San Antonio and watch

(01:00:40):
Taylor perform on Saturday and then on Sunday at Bobbyfest
in Wichita, Kansas. And so I think we're gonna have
you up on one of the nights too. Did you
know that we already tell you, already talk to you
about that. Um, I think they did mention that I've
been We'll leave it there. Yeah, I've been trying to process. Well.
We can't wait to see it perform live and you
guys come out to Bobby Fest or go follow Taylor
Acorns or stream her music. It's the best bits of

(01:01:04):
the week with Morgan number two. You know, there's so
much happening in the world right now, and with Pimp
and Joy we've got to do a lot of really
cool things and help a lot of different causes of
things that are happening right now, like the floods and Waverley, Tennesseee,
Hurricane Ida, everybody who's been impacted by that, the thirteen

(01:01:24):
American heroes that lost their lives. There's a lot of
things happening, and Pimp and Joy is, you know, actively
watching everything to do what they can to help in
all of those areas. And Bobby and Amy really talks
about it this week and how difficult things have been.
So after you listen to it, go to the shop
Forward dot com slash Pimp and Joy and buy something
on there, and you know it will go all of

(01:01:46):
those proceeds. Number three Bobby's bees story. I mean part
of the region. I'm so tired. I stayed up late
last night watching a lot of Ida footage, a lot
of coverage. Here are some things you need to know.
Number one. Hurricane Ida made landfall around noon yesterday as
a Category four hurricane. That's less than one hundred miles

(01:02:06):
from New Orleans is where it hit. Category four hurricanes
have sustained wins between one thirty and one fifty six
miles per hour. It came very close to being a
Category five and a tragic coincidence. Yesterday was the sixteenth
anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Around one million people have been
without power, including all of New Orleans, and flash flood

(01:02:26):
emergencies have been declared. I had a week into a
Category three around six pm yesterday last night or so.
Then it dropped to a category two around nine pm
last night. The storm surge was so intense yesterday that
it stopped the flow of the Mississippi River near New
Orleans and actually caused the flow to reverse, which is
extremely uncommon. Overnight, more than two hundred people scrambled to

(01:02:50):
get to higher ground after a levy failed in Jefferson Parish,
about an hour outside of New Orleans last night, and
this is the newest news that we have. The first
depths report that someone was killed by a falling tree.
And obviously this is a great time for anyone who's
medically impacted by the hurricane, because the hospitals were already
pactful with COVID patients. So, I mean, it's that part's

(01:03:11):
devastating that there were so slam of COVID patients it
couldn't move them. Yeah, they do, honestly. I mean I
was watching things like as needs start to roll in,
they don't know really where they're even going to take them.
I mean, just it's so such a vulnerable time. So
here's what we're doing right now. You know, we have
this line called Pip and Joy. We don't ever take

(01:03:33):
a dollar, never, never take a cent from Pip and
Joy And if you would like something, all the money
that we you know, make from this goes to that.
So we're going to work as of today, and you know,
we pivots as we know what's needed. We don't even
know right now where we're going to send that money.
But what will happen over the next couple of days
there will be needs where people go, hey, we need this,

(01:03:56):
we need this for these people, and that's where we
kind of hop in. We don't want to sit here
even though we don't know exactly what to do and
not do anything. So if you go to Bobby Bones
dot com, we'll put the link up and if you
want to get anything that is pimp and joy up
on the site, that will go toward that. Yeah, I
would say, just know when you're if you're wearing something
pimp and joy, it's about spreading joy to others and

(01:04:17):
that's exactly what what we need to do right now.
And just think if you were in this situation like
knowing that others across the country were rallying together to
support you would feel pretty awesome. So that's what we
can do. Yeah, So again you want something, we won't
take all that money and we're gonna send it down.
We're gonna figure out what they need. Thank you Bobby
Bones dot com. It's the Best Bits of the Week

(01:04:41):
with Morgan number two. This week on the show, everybody
shared their first and best concerts. You know, Lunch, my
first ever concert was one of my best hold on
and had to be t yes, I knew that in
her leopard outfit, she touched hand. I will never about

(01:05:01):
you that close in your first concert. I told you
my parents were huge country music fans. They still are
still huge. Goodness, and so like, my whole life has
been around country music. And I mean I grew up
in Kansas, right, Like everybody wants to country music there,
and I doubt everybody does, no, but majority it's a
very popular genre. I'm just saying you said everybody. I'm

(01:05:23):
just I know you weren't being literal, no, but you
I appreciate it. You're figurative, figurative, figural, figural. That word
better literal had to be the opposite figural. But yes, yeah,
Shanio was my first epic moment. That's incredible that you

(01:05:44):
were that close. How old were you? Oh gosh, I
mean talk about not remembering things like five. Maybe you
remember it because you touched her, or do you remember
it because your parents tell you touched her? Like I
have vivid memories of that moment, but like not a
lot of that. And then my parents it's like have
reiterated it, so like it comes back. Does that make sense? Yes,
I mean the closest I ever sat. When I was

(01:06:06):
a kid, I was a big wrestling fan and it
was the WWF back then and then not the WWE,
right okay, And so they were coming to Austin and
for Christmas, my parents got me at two tickets and
I was like yeah, and we were like fifth or

(01:06:26):
sixth row, and we had not never been to anything
like this this close. And so when the Bushwhackers came out,
they came out with their arms hold on. The Bushwhackers
are a team because I told us just tho you
met an alcoholic beverage, they were a tag team. They
were a tag team. Look them out. Google about your
com the Bushwhackers and if you can look up a

(01:06:46):
video of how they walk out. They do their arms
like ah, and they have ball heads and I rubbed
one of their heads and I thought I was the
coolest kid in the world. And we sat there in
the fourth or fifth row and watched it. And every
time they whack, they hit him each other, you know,
like the wrestlers. They would spit and my dad I

(01:07:07):
remember him walking into the house afterwards and telling my mom,
we are never sitting that close again because they spit
the entire time and I was like, it was so
awesome because I remember one dude it was up there
as Maybe and mister Perfect and Dusty Rhodes or someone,
and he kept pulling down the back of his shorts
and you'd see his button. Son, And how old were you?

(01:07:30):
I was like eight? Okay, Like everything was very That
was so freaking cool. I mean, it was the coolest
thing ever. Do you find the bush whackers? Yes? I did.
They're interesting, like game, very intense. But I run to
their one of their heads, I don't know which one,
one of their bald heads. I was like, yeah, well, yeah,
you were eight years old, and I'm just letting you know.

(01:07:51):
I'm just like, you know, but yes, it was like
it was the coolest moment ever. And one time we
went to wrestling and we were sitting up her deck
or whatever and it was my brother and my dad
and me and we walk in the house and we
get back and my mom was like, how was it.
My brother goes first thing, he says, well, I know,

(01:08:12):
wrestling's fake, and I walk in ten seconds after him,
and my mom was like, how is how was it?
I was like, oh my gosh, mom, now I know
wrestling is so real. Like it is amazing, Like my
mom talks about it all the time about how I mean,
ten seconds before that, my brother come and goes, well,
now I know wrestling's fake. And I come in like,
oh my gosh, now it confirms it. Wrestling is real.

(01:08:33):
That's so funny how you guys had such different perspectives. Well,
because he was two years older than me, So it's
a crazy and two years the difference it makes of
knowing wrestling's real and wrestling's fake or whatever. Yeah, and
everything for the excitement, you know, like he's seeing it
for what it is. You're seeing it as the excitement.
You're like, this is just awesome. Everything about this is awesome.

(01:08:54):
You're not watching for all the moments that don't look
real exactly. It was awesome and it's pretty cool. And
I just that was the closest I ever sat to anything.
But yes, that was I mean fourth row or fifth
row at wrestling. I never sat that close at a concert,
never at a concert, but at wrestling. Yeah, I mean
later though, Oh it's so worth it. Later in life,

(01:09:16):
I've sat in close at concerts just because of our job,
but I've never been able to buy a ticket that close.
Anywhere in my life. Well, and to be fair, though,
buying tickets back then was a lot easier than it
it's now, buying tickets is like a hole. It's like
a stampede on the internet. Well, yeah, they used to
you had to go wait in line, you had to
go to Ticketmaster and be there right when they open,

(01:09:36):
when they go on sale, or else you didn't get tickets.
Now it's like, oh, you just got to be the
quick your computer. Internet has to be the right click
of a button. Yes, and you're waiting in virtual waiting
room yes, and then there's an overdlog and then you
don't get in and continue with scammers on the internet
like a whole thing. There's scammers on the internet. Yes,
Oh you mean scalpers. This reminds me I would buy

(01:10:00):
to talk about this moment that I have not brought
up on the show. Oh is you and your iPhone?
And when I hope you get a case and the
thing I put it on yet lunchbox? No, No, okay,
hold on, let me tell this story. Oh gosh, because
this is arguably one of my favorite stories. Okay, good,
not even because like anything bad. It's just like I

(01:10:22):
don't think it was hilarious. Anything about it. I hit
me with it. Hit me. Okay. So Lunchbox was having
a problem with his phone right He was taking pictures
and he was like, it's blurry. I don't understand why
this keeps happening. So terrible, Yeah, so bad. And I
look at it, and I look at his phone, and
I'm like, Lunchbox, you have a case that's covering the

(01:10:43):
camera lens. It's called life proof because I know I
wanted something that would cover the whole phone because if
I drop it, I don't want to break it. And
here's the thing. I know I'm going to drop it.
I know my kids are gonna get ahold of it
and drop it. So I'm not going to leave my
screen unprotected. You know what I mean. You always use protection.
You're not wrong exactly, but in doing so, you didn't

(01:11:07):
realize that you had literally covered the entire phone. Hey,
I've bought how many probably four because it works great
for a while for a few months, and then all
of a sudden, the camera gets really blurrying on my
op because you were forgetting to clean the part of
the case that had film over it. No, I'm still
I clean it yeah, but not with your finger. He's

(01:11:28):
cleaning it with his finger right now. I wipe it
off of my shirt too. Anyways, so he bought like
four of these same cases because he was like, I
don't understand why my camera keeps going blurry. I think
I need to take it in. I was like, no,
it is the case. You need a new case, and
you can get a screen protector so you can have
a case it doesn't cover your camera. And I literally
think I watched the Lunchbox feel so mind blown that

(01:11:49):
that was a possibility. Yeah, I didn't know about that.
I thought that that was the first part. Yeah, well,
because I saw the cases, but none of them had
the protector for the front. And I'm not only used
in half protection, Like if I'm gonna go, I need
full protection at all times. Yes, so we set you up.
We went and got Lunchbox a case, Auterbox Auterbox case.

(01:12:12):
It's like, you know, a hearty protection and a screen
protector that he can put on so if he drops
his phone it doesn't crack. Correct. But in the midst
of ordering these, Lunchbox is so sure of the phone
that he has, right this new phone, Well, got I
have a new iPhone. That's all I know is I
have a new iPhone and so, and I should to
be fair, I should have made him double check, to

(01:12:34):
be like, okay, what you know what year it was?
But I was just trusting that lunchbox and new what
kind of new phone you got? And so I ordered
an iPhone twelve pro case boom, all done, let's go.
I am now in the autterbox family and I'm about
to dominate the world with my protection. And then I
order it and ten minutes later, mto is looking at

(01:12:56):
my phone and she says, Lunchbox, you chow is the
wrong phone. No. I'm like, no, no, what do you
mean because you have an iPhone eleven. Then lest I
had to go buy a new autobox and you can
I tell the frustrat No, no, no, I'm gonna tell
you the frustrating thing about that. Okay. So I called
him immediately. I called him. In one case, I ordered

(01:13:17):
iPhone twelve because I didn't realize what phone I had,
and he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's still in the
processing thing. Let me just go ahead and cancel that
and then I'll do iPhone eleven. Cool. Oh, you're all
set many. You know, I cancel that iPhone twelve case.
iPhone eleven should be coming well, smash cut. Five days later,
guess what shows at my house? iPhone twelve case and

(01:13:38):
iPhone eleven case. So I've been charged for both cases.
Did you ever figure it out? He gets back, No,
I gotta call them because I don't know how to
send it back because I don't know if I'm supposed
to open it and then send it back, right, it
has to be unopened and send it back. Yes, you
always never open something and so, but I don't know
which one's the iPhone eleven or which ones the iPhone
twelve on the case scene bring him into our No, no no, no,
I'm meant the package. I haven't opened either one. Oh

(01:14:00):
the box. No no, I haven't even opened the mail,
Like they're both still in the thing they came in. Yeah,
like the box and the packaging, because I didn't know
if I was supposed to open it or if I
one's supposed to open it and mail it back. And
I'm just like like, bro, like do your job, Like
how terrible are you at your job? That I literally
called you two not too maybe twelve minutes after I

(01:14:22):
ordered it and you told me, Oh, it's all taken
care of, don't worry. I took that one off, canceled
it like like bro like like that's a demerit, Like
I should call and complain, like put a negative review
on yell because that is just so bad. It's so
frustrating because now I got it through the go through
the process of paying for postage and going to this
store and mailing it back and oh so annoying. Well

(01:14:43):
a few things here. First of all, it is your
phone to again when you didn't know what phone you had,
so you can't get mad at him. Yeah, but okay,
go ahead too. You won't have to pay for posting.
They will pay for it to get it back to them.
And three, did you know that you can also just
put it on the porch with some organizations now and

(01:15:03):
they come and pick it up for you. You don't
have to take it anywhere. What do you mean? So
like Amazon, I've had to return things and they'll be like, oh,
do you want to take in the story, just leave
it on your porch for somebody to come and get it.
I can leave it on my porch for somebody come
get it. I like that a lot better, right, Yeah,
so that might be an option. You can do that
with the ARC also the ARC. Yeah, it's like donating
the charity stuff. Oh yeah, yeah. Hey, the more you know,

(01:15:28):
the more you know. But yeah, so you get me
too mad, I mean no, I I was pretty annoyed.
I'm pretty annoyed now. And then my question for you is, yeah,
do I put the case on and then the screen
protector or do you put the screen protector on, then
the case, screen protector and then the case. Got it,
but make sure bring it in. We will do it together. Okay, okay,

(01:15:48):
I will. I will help you out of your fund.
I just had to share the story because it was
like it wasn't even to make fun of moment. It
was an interesting moment and it's something that I think
a lot of people can relate to because like it's
hard to figure it out, especially when you don't know
what you're doing. Listen. I just that's why I always
just like, just give me a case that does everything.
I just want one protection and I don't need I know,

(01:16:09):
but I don't want you to have to keep worrying
about dirty photos, because I mean, my photos are so terrible,
like Box had, like an iPhone eleven with like iPhone
two photos is what was happening? Look at that picture.
That's a picture I took on my phone. You can't
even read it. It's blurry. It's yeah, like it looks
like you took it on a flip phone. That's how
bad these photos are because of the screen on the

(01:16:30):
on the camera. So if you're having similar issues, holler
at your girl. Yeah, holler at your girl. Don't holler
at me, because I have no idea. I just know
you need protection. That's all I know. That's all I know.
And so I found the one protection that protected everything
at one time, you did and we figured it out.
That's okay. But before we go, and because I loved

(01:16:51):
to that conversation and that story was it's just one
of my favorites recently. But I want to know. Oh,
here I'll share the second part of my best concert
was Oh he's fan test. If you ever get a
chance to go see Bruno Mars, do not miss your chance.
And unfortunately paid a lot of money for those tickets. Fortunately,

(01:17:14):
I've never had to pay for Bruno Mars's tickets, but fantastic.
I saw him New Year's Eve in Las Vegas at
the Cosmopolitan, and I'm going to tell you what the
place was rocking. He was so good, top tier performer,
not even just artists, but the whole band up there

(01:17:36):
dancing and just oh, they were just it was great.
It was great, Yes, great, great one a great reiterating
yours Eminem and jay Z. Yankee Stadium opening, Bob forever
a favorite of yours, the brand new Yankee Stadium, first
event at Yankee Stadium. Oh it was so great. So
I can see that for sure. And let me tell

(01:17:56):
you about the dude in front of me. Okay, oh boy,
he was how do you still remember this? Wasn't this
concert like years ago? Yeah? Okay? And he was going hard,
like he was just going crazy with Bob. He was drinking,
going hard, doing other things, Bob. Yes, he's I can't
wait for Eminem, can't wait for jay Z, drinking more beers,

(01:18:19):
doing some other stuff. Uh. And by the time Eminem
got on the stage second, it was passed out in
his chair. Wasn't he drinking a lot? He's drinking a
lot and um some other things. Yeah, and recreational activity,
recreational activities. So he literally missed jay Z. He missed

(01:18:41):
because Eminem was next. After Bob passed out in his chair,
jay Z passed out in his chair. He only saw Bob,
that is it. He was like a small artist at
the time. He was there for jay Z and Eminem
and he saw none of it, none of it. Have
you ever missed a concert because you're a little too intoxicated? No,

(01:19:07):
not that I can remember one. What Country Stampede, Manhattan, Kansas.
It's a like country festival several days and you go
camping and stuff, right, So naturally you're day drinking and
you're consuming Edit, they're sorry, Steve, You're consuming like so

(01:19:28):
much alcohol and you're partying all day. So, but the
concerts are at night. There's some during the day. But
the big and my my friends, their parents were there
and they had an RV parked there for camping. And
the only person I wanted to see all weekend was
Zach Brownband, the only person because everybody else I had

(01:19:49):
already seen, but I wanted to see Zach Brownband. And
what do you know, Morgan gets a little too drunk
and passes out in the RV right when Zach brown
Man was on, and I miss the entire thing. It's
not good. I was bummed. Yeah, one year we went
to was a life lesson from me. Yeah, you got

(01:20:10):
to learn your learning well again, I was super young.
I was right out of college. I know, I'm just joking.
It's really the Yes, Like it was a life lesson
for me. I was like, I never want to feel
that way again because I missed something that I wanted
to see. I've seen him since, thankfully. Yeah, but like
I learned, point in your life, you're like, oh my gosh,
that's gonna be the only opportunity I ever had to
see Zach Brown band. You never know. You never know

(01:20:30):
what life's gonna be. I never know because we were
one year. Barry Manilow I think that's his name. Yeah,
that's a guy that's an artiste. Sure. If it's he's older,
yeah for sure. Let me show you a picture. Yeah
it may not have been Barry Manilow. Maybe it was
Barry Manilow. Did he do something with Lady Gaga? Maybe? Okay, Well,

(01:20:53):
I think Barry Manilow and Lady Gaga were playing in
Las Vegas one New Year's Yeah, he's in Las Vegas,
and my buddy Ryan has wanted to go and he
was like, dude, we've got to go to this. So
we got a big group and we're like, all right,
let's go. And so we go. We're going, we got
tickets everything, We're ready to go, and we start playing
black jack earlier in the day and one thing leads

(01:21:15):
to another and we have been drinking for hours and
the end. This is just the entire reason we went
on the trip. And it was because Ryan was like,
I want to go see Lady Gay got Barry manlo
on New Year's Okay, cool, Well, let's just say Ryan
had a little bit too much a drink at the
blackjack table, spilled two different drinks on the blackjack table. Okay, two,

(01:21:40):
not one, but two. That's a lot of spilling, separate
instances instance, And so needless to say, when we were
at Barry Manilow and Lady Gaga, he was he had
locked himself in his bathroom in the Cosmopolitan because he
was looking at the porcelain God for hours upon hours

(01:22:01):
upon hours, and he missed the concert. He had bought
a nice like so I don't even know what we go,
real brighton, flashy sports coat, and he missed it, all
of it, not even like oh he didn't even get
there for a second of it. Like, didn't even get
there for a second of it. Oh man, Okay, that

(01:22:21):
that reminds me. Are you ready for another one? Yeah? Yeah? More? Yeah?
I got another one well again in college? Right. Okay,
So my graduation day, all my families in town. I
graduated a year early, so all of my friends are
there to celebrate with me, and we all go party
and throw my big graduation party. The night before my graduation,

(01:22:42):
I had the graduation that was eight am. Oh okay.
So it is a known thing with me that when
I drink alcohol, whether it is one drink, whether it's
ten drinks, whatever it is, I am throwing up the
next morning. It is just part of why I've stopped
drinking as much, because like I'm literally allergic to alcohol.
Will continue to tree. Yeah, I mean we all make
good decisions like that. Terrible Well, older age, I've learned

(01:23:05):
a lot of things. Okay, hey, you are getting old.
Twenty seven. I know, I am, I'm so old. What
are you? Twenty eight October one month? Yes, yeah, you're
almost thirty. No, I saw about two years anyway. Is
it weird being closer to thirty than you are. Twenty, yes,
and I don't want to focus on it. Okay, I'm
holding onto my twenties for now. Um. So yeah, my

(01:23:27):
graduation party, we go out. Of course, we get crazy.
It's big night. I wake up the next morning, I
am not well. Naturally, It's like six thirty in the morning.
I was like, I have an hour and a half
to pull myself together to be able to walk across
the stage. Hey, don't pull myself together at all. And
so literally the entire time I somehow managed to get

(01:23:48):
ready get to the location of my graduation but the
entire time, thank goodness, I had friends. They just having
a big barn. No, it's in our huge up. I
was just being funny. But it's not a huge basketball
pavilion or whatever arena. Whatever arena, I couldn't find the word. Um.
But so literally up until you're standing up in the

(01:24:10):
whole like little area waiting to go down right. Yeah,
And so for that whole hour, I am in the
toilet like vomiting in my capping gown, going through it.
I'm like, you can't be the only one I was
in this moment, and so like I'm going through it,
I'm like I gotta get through this, Like, I don't
have much longer before we're walking down and I have
to walk downstairs. And so I have a friend text

(01:24:33):
me that like, hey, we're moving. So like I try
and finish up and get in line, and I'm like,
this is not good. I did don't feel well. We
walked downstairs. We're sitting down there, you know, like the guy, yes,
the guy is talking, okay, and I'm like, I have
to vomit. I'm in the middle of five just a
trash can that is right by the stage. There was none,

(01:24:53):
so you know what I did. They give you little gifts, right,
and I opened up this little teeny tiny box. It's
like a card holder, as our gift was. And I
opened it up and I'm ready to vomit this teeny
tiny box because I don't have anywhere to go and
I don't have anything to throw up in, and so
I do a mom in my little teeny tiny box.
I don't know how you got in the box. At

(01:25:15):
this point, like everything was out of me. It was
just like, you know, oh my gosh. So then when
we're starting to walk, I'm in line to get my certificate,
and I was like I cannot do this. I'm gonna
vomit again. I run out of line to the side
bathroom that I found I've been scoping out this whole time,
Go and throw up, and then run back in line.
Two people in front of me, and I get my name.

(01:25:36):
I could sit back down, and I'm like, I made it.
I got my certificate. I look like crap, but I
made it. Across this I had to see your we're
not wedding your graduation photos? Do you look like a wreck?
The ones after? You can visibly tell that, like my
makeup was messed up like I was not. It wasn't
like bad because yes, oh, I mean because everybody we

(01:25:57):
were celebrating the night before, right like it was meant
to be a bad thing. It was just like we
were celebrating and we're all so excited that we just
went a little too hard. That's awesome, that's a great story.
Oh yeah, I was so bad though, Like my friends,
my friends from graduation that they still have pictures of
me literally like bobbing he over the toilet and my
cap and gown. That's pretty good. You want you want
to hear an Oppositions of the Spectrums is a good story.

(01:26:19):
It's a good story. My friend Aaron that we were
orientation lady leaders together at UTSA her graduation day. She
goes in, she sits down, and she sits down to
some next to do some dude because you know he's
graduating too, never seen him on campus or whatever. They
start talking and here we are, what fifteen whatever years later,
and they're married. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's telling me

(01:26:44):
somebody was meeting during graduation get married and I was
sitting there hugging toilet. Yes, how crazy is that that
they graduated with the same type of major, obviously same
department because they're in the graduate and they didn't know
each other, didn't have any classes together. Happened to sit
next to each other at graduation and like we're talking
and start talking and they get married. That is so wild, crazy, right,

(01:27:06):
that's a cool meeting story, not a graduation Yeah, literally
just sat next to each other. Did they get a
picture that day? By chance? I'll have to ask. I
don't really be really cool if they had a picture, Like, Hey,
I met this random friend, let's get a picture. That's
a great question. I wonder if, and I wonder if, like, hey,
I got my diploma. Now you want to write your
number on my diploma? Like I need more? We need enough? Date?

(01:27:28):
But isn't that great? Cool? That's really pretty funny. I'm
really glad that they are positive stories that people my
my my graduation. So I walk out into the UTSA
convocation center. Uh, and my family just happened to pick
a side and pick, you know, somewhere to sit and
just happened to me right where I was. And I

(01:27:50):
walk out and they stand up and it's everybody's there,
and they have a bunch of pictures of me on
a stick, like my face, like from different stages of
my life. Like if you ever watched Pardon the Interruption
on ESPN, they used to do a role play thing
where they have faces on a stick. Who am I
You're Michael Jordan and you put the face in front
of you and they had all of them there. It

(01:28:12):
was mere different years of life, yes, like embarrassing photos
like when I have Captain Crunch stuck up my nose
or like you know, just different things and it was
just it was beautiful. My mom is so creative and
it was it was awesome. That's amazing. So if anybody's
graduating coming up. That is great idea. It's a great
idea because then afterwards we all took pictures and they
all had those pictures, and then it's me, you know

(01:28:33):
what I mean, And then you know, then we took
regular ones. But yeah, that was my graduation story, even
though I didn't graduate technically, but I did walk the
stage and then I was supposed to take the next
class in the fall, and I never did. But that's okay,
but I got all the pictures and the experiences still
technically looks, I walked the stage, they announced my name
on the big loud speakers and everything, and when I

(01:28:54):
got the whole thing is just there was no diploma
in it. That's a best story. Oh my god. Okay,
that's so amazing. Well, thank you for sharing them. You're welcome.
These are great stories. I'll happy Saturday. Yeah, great Saturday,
all right, Sunday or Monday whatever you're listening to this. Yeah, well,
you know, and before you go, you can listen to
everybody shared their first and best concerts and talk about that,

(01:29:16):
because that was really what we were talking about. But
the college stories pretty good. Yeah, that's very important in life,
very important. Number two and go over and talk to
Sarah in Las Vegas. Sarah, what's happening, Hey, I am
going to see I went to see Alabama in concert
when I was seven years old, and now I get

(01:29:36):
to go see them again this weekend forty years later. Wow.
So I was wondering what you all's first concert was.
I'm hoping to take a sign. I want to meet
them so bad. So I was wondering what your first
concert was and if you ever got to meet those performers,
Let's do first and best. Love it. Meeting is weird

(01:29:58):
for us because, for the most part, if it's older,
we got two because of our jobs at this point.
First concert, best concert? My first was Diamond Rio at
Magic Springs Steam Park and Hot Springs, Arkansas. My best
maybe Garth and Little Rock Oh That's good, which was great.

(01:30:18):
Or maybe John Mayer. I've seen him a couple of
times and I just loved John Mayer. So I'm gonna
go that you. My first concert was Amy Grant in Austin, Texas.
And then I have a lot of favorites, but I'm
gonna go with Taylor Swift two eleven Speak Now tour
when she floated above us in a birdcage. My first
concert was Clinton Black South Padre Island, and yes, I

(01:30:41):
got to meet him, but my favorite meet him then
I had to meet him again. Ye yes. And then
my favorite concert, of course in Hawaii, Pearl Jam opens
up for you two at a big stadium. It was
my favorite. First one was Tina Turner in San Antonio
was some boring guy named Winel Richie opening, And then
my best ever was Eminem and jay Z at Yankee

(01:31:02):
Stadium thanks to mister Bobby Bones getting me tickets. It
was amazing. So I think three of us met him.
You haven't met I haven't met any of those people.
Line Richie is not boring. Linel Richie's amazing any of
his music. Didn't know his music and guys sat there
and I was like, come on, I'm falling asleep. It's
pretty cool though. You get to go see Alabama again, Yeah,
I mean because I believe they're doing their fifty at

(01:31:22):
the anniversary tour right wow, and so they're still out playing.
It's gonna be so fun. I'm so excited. I can't
even take it. Yeah, what's the last concert you went to?
I saw County. I don't go to many concerts and
would be it if I'm not playing it. Counting Crows ay,
and I saw Counting Crows. That's and it was really good, awesome.
They say he's sang really good and usually he won't
sing all of his songs on the right melody because like,

(01:31:44):
you know, the song mister Joe, he'd be like mister Jones,
so it's hard to sing back to that. But he
actually sang songs the right way. Last concert, I'm trying
to hear it had to have been right before COVID.
Maybe it was Thomas Rhett, Yeah, like the bigger Reader,
but justin Bieber I went to before tr But that's
I mean, that's wild. I haven't been to a show

(01:32:05):
and that long. Have fun, Sarah, that's awesome. I hope
you have a great time. Be safe. Okay, thank you
guys so much, a great thank you for the call.
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two,
we had Russell Dickerson on the show this week. He
came on and talked about being a dad, his marriage,
and of course his song Homesuite. It was an awesome interview,

(01:32:28):
so make sure you listen to it right now. Number one,
the Friday Morning conversation with Russell Dickerson. Also what's up, buddy, Well,
what's up, my guy? Are you home? No, I'm I'm
actually at the beach writing songs. Dang, that's the line,
like you have a job where you get to go

(01:32:48):
to work, but you go to work at the beach.
And so when you do one of these beach songwriting sessions,
do you bring out like a bunch of your friends
and how much a song writing versus beach time. Honestly,
this is my first one. So I TBD on all
those dats. But I'm at a friend's house, big songwriter

(01:33:10):
in town, and uh he was like, hey, come down
to the beach write some songs. And then so that's
that's what I did. He loaned you his house or
is he there with you? Oh no, he's in on it.
Okay here He's like, you can use my house, but
I want cuts. Because the weird part for me was,
and I feel okay talking about this um, is that

(01:33:31):
Kayla and I were trying to go down to the beach.
There's a there's a place go with thirty A. Yeah,
I'd never been down there. I don't know if that's
where you are right now or not? Are you down?
Is that where you are? Yeah? Okay, I'd never been
down there. We had tried to find a place and
we couldn't find one, and Chris Jansen, who I know, goes, hey,
why don't you go stay at our place down there?
And I was like, you know, I feel weird staying

(01:33:52):
in someone else's place period, just because and I was like,
I was like, I don't know if I want to
go stay at and I know Chris well, but I
just never want to impose. And then like three times
like you got to stay here. So we went and
stayed there. But I just felt guilty because like, if
I had to two in the bed, it's their bed.
I tuted it in. You know, I literally just thought

(01:34:14):
that this morning. Did I get out of bed first
or should I just let it get It's just there where.
It's a hotel. I don't know who owns it. I
don't care. It's in corporation. Russell Dicker centers on with us.
I was thinking about you because Olivia Rodrigo just gave
Paramore songwriting credit for her song good for You that
was inspired by misery business. This happens a lot, is

(01:34:36):
there a song of yours that you would give your
wife's songwriting credit too because she inspired it. Oh, I
mean yeah, definitely yours for sure. I think she. I
think she definitely deserves some songwriting credit on that. Whenever
you guys first started dating, was it really cool to
her when you would write a song about her versus

(01:34:56):
now you're you're married? Do you have a kid where
she's like, oh, yeah, that's cool. But has that change
happened a little bit? Yeah? I mean yeah, I'm being honest,
But she's like she's into like indeed, John form and
like acoustic, So like my music isn't like totally her
cup of tea, she likes it, but it's like she's
definitely she can critique a song though, Like with love

(01:35:19):
You Like I used to, I played it for her
and she was like, yeah, you didn't nail this one,
and I was like wow, And so literally we went
back to the drawing board completely rewrote the entire song,
and she was like the title of the song is
better than the song you just played me. So we
went back completely rewrote it and then ended up with
what you here now is love You Like I used to?

(01:35:40):
I think I'm gonna play that first Russell Dickerson time
with us. We're gonna do love You like I used to.
But what we have the original version that sucked, So
we're gonna play that. I kind of do want to
hear that. No, I'm just kidding. We're gonna play this.
But by the way, Russell will be a Bobby Fest
tomorrow and Sunday tomorrow in New Brombles, Texas, and then
Sunday in Wichita. Can says, get tickets a Raging Idiots

(01:36:02):
dot com. But here is love you like I used to.
The Friday Morning Conversation with Russell Dickerson. Russ, you're on
the cover of Franklin Lifestyles magazine. You were also featured
on Men's Health magazine. I was looking at these magazines.
Would you ever post shirtless? Because you're kind of ripped up?
If they say, hey, want you take a shirt off,

(01:36:23):
no airbrushing? Would you be on the cover shirtless? You
know what I would say. I would say, I thought
you would never ask and rip it off right there.
You would say you're that because no, I mean I don't.
It's deceiving and how muscular you are. Because I watched
Russell's Instagram stories and he'll be like, here's me and
my kid, here's me eating some food. Here are my muscles,

(01:36:43):
And I'm like, holy crap, man, just every third one,
what's the key? What are you doing to get so big? Oh? Man?
I just I started eating a lot better. I do
these things called megafit meals, and they literally just shipped
frozen meals to your house. And that's about all I

(01:37:05):
eat for like breakfast and lunch every day. For the record,
this is the second week and row of coming in
on a guy's fit. This is true Kane Brown. Last week, Yeah,
and I saw Michael Ray at the opera. Last week
I played the opera and Michael Ray was playing. Michael
Ray is gigantic. Now have you seen how big he

(01:37:27):
is his like his arms on his chest. No, he
could beat you up for sure. Okay, Okay, that's how
I believe that. I mean, it's not hard. Hey, have
you ever been in a fist fight? Russ? No? I
never have. I've been punched in the face one time.
What happened there? So let's go back to fifth grade.
Me and my buddies are building a tree house and

(01:37:47):
we're like basically stealing wood from all these houses being
built around us, and we pick up this bag of
quick Create and my buddy was like, gave me the
quick Create and I was like, absolutely not. And then
he punched me in the face and I tried to
swing the bag at him, but it was like super heavy,
and he ducked out of the way and then I
was just just walked away with a bloody nose just

(01:38:10):
in my shame in my hands. And that's when you
realize fighting wasn't for you, Absolutely not. That's when I
decided I was going to be a lover, not a fighter.
And how's the baby? Incredible? Almost a year? Two weeks
be a year old? An he weighs as much as
a three year old. I was gonna say he looks
large to not be a year old, yet like strong,

(01:38:31):
like big strong baby dude. It's hard, Like Kales can't
even put him to sleep anymore because I have to.
I'm the one who has the wholdest thirty pound baby
and like literally wrestle him to sleep every night. Yeah
he's on, Yes, he's on goat's milk creatine. What has
been Let's say that the weirdest thing you've had to

(01:38:53):
learn as a parent that you thought, well, I never
even considered this, oh man, just just the pungentness of
diapers these days. Like once, once they start eating real food,
it's like, oh man, this is like the same as mine.
It's bad, you know what I mean? It was surprising, surprising,

(01:39:16):
so real food. But when he ate breast milk, it
wasn't so bad. No, No, it's just because I mean,
you know what to expect every time. It's the same thing,
same consistency. But then like start eating black beans and
blueberries and it's just like black tar. Okay, sorry, I'm sorry, listeners,
I'm sorry, all right, Bobby asked by Russell Dickerson's on

(01:39:40):
with Us. He has four number ones in a row.
I think, let's play Blue Tacoma. Here. Give me a
little story before I play Blue Tacoma, Like, give me
a thirty second story about how this song makes you
feel or what it reminds you of. I mean, dude,
same thing. We had to rewrite this song as well.
I turned it into my publisher and they were like, okay,
cool thing for the song, and then had to go

(01:40:02):
back to the drawing boards. Just one of those songs
I couldn't give up on. So I literally went back
and produced the demo on my own and I was like,
this song is a jam and went back to the
drawing board, and now here we are right Here's Blue
Tacoma from Russell Dickerson, who will be playing Bobbyfest on
Saturday in New Broumbels, Texas, which is tomorrow, and then

(01:40:23):
Sunday in Wichita, Kansas. And we'll come back with Russell Dickerson.
Just a second, the Friday Morning Conversation with Russell Dickerson.
I want to play a little bit of Russell's brand
new song called Home Sweet Here you got much we got?

(01:40:56):
Is that gonna be the fifth number one? Call it now? Russell,
Come on, dude, Yes, from your lips to God's ears,
let's go. Why asked I didn't say, Noah? Do you
feel as good about this song? We're better about this
song early than your other four number ones? I do, man.
I think just the sentiment of the song mixed with
like a big anthem of music, you know, I just

(01:41:20):
I this is one of my favorite songs I've ever written,
and you know, telling a story of like coming back
from our honeymoon and we were absolutely broke and then
verse two being on the road all the time, Verse
three finding out we're having a baby, and you know
that could have been a ballad song, but it was like, actually, no,
let's freaking make it an anthem. So I love Home

(01:41:41):
Sweet's one of my favorite songs. We're on with Russell
Dickerson right now. He will be playing Bobby Fest. I
mean he will be the most talent. Go ahead, and
I'm sorry to interrupt you go go ahead, Russell? Oh sorry, no,
how did you come up with the name Bobby Fest? Bobby?
I'm glad you asked. Well, we thought about a lot
of things that inspired this festival, and mostly I had
to put up a lot of money down this festival goes,

(01:42:02):
so I thought, why not just name it after me?
So there we go. No pressure here, we are, no pressure.
This needs to be the greatest set of your life,
because if it's not, I might go broke. Listen, you
can count on me. Do you still wear the headset?
Are you still doing the headset? Mike? The garth? Mic? Oh? Absolutely?
Have you guys seen my favorite though? He wears the
garth Mincy just like Garth. Yeah coow yeah yeah yeah yeah.

(01:42:24):
Have you have you met Garth rust. Wow, I have,
and we met him at the Opry, Like Remington was
like three months old and he meets Garth Brooks. I'm like, well,
the rest of your life's downhill from here, buddy. You
just met Garth. Yeah, you just met the one. Hopefully
you got a picture of that, because or you could
just lie and be like, hey man, you met Paul McCartney.

(01:42:45):
Danny three, three months old. You can tell them whatever
they wanted exactly. Yeah, yeah, we got we have, we
have evidence. Okay, let me let me say if you
thinks about Russell Dickerson Um Tomorrow and Sunday, Bobby Fest
playing Whitewater Rampathater, New Brambles, Texas, and then which Talk
Kansas a Wave. He's performing at the Daytime stage at
the twenty twenty one I Heart Radio Music Festival on
September eighteenth. His son Remington is starting to walk and

(01:43:09):
I saw that on Instagram. That's big news. Yeah. He's
on the cover of the August issue of Franklin Lifestyles magazine. Wow,
Franklin Soccer Moms, Rejoy, that's right. I gotta check my mailbox.
You get that magazine? Yeah you do? Or maybe I
get the other one. Maybe I get the other town
in between. I don't know. I just know that sometimes

(01:43:30):
it arrives in my mailbox, and therefore I have no
idea how it gets there. But like country artists and
their wives are often on or other influencers issue or
often on the cover, and you get a like a
peek into their life. You're at the beach right now, Russell,
you read any good songs? I mean, we just got
here last night. Flight was delayed, so we got in,
went to bed at two am, ready to rage today?

(01:43:53):
Do you have like a song in mind? Like if
the title you're sitting on ready to walk into the
first right? Um, I gotta. I mean, I have a
whole note on my phone worth of titles. Give me
one note and I want one and then I'm gonna
write and steal it. I want one note and then
we'll call it a day, all right. It doesn't have
to be the title. You can just note that you

(01:44:13):
wrote I'm gonna I'm gonna get you a good one
the bones, and then you're gonna tell him it's good
or not. I'll do like his wife. Hey man, that
needs some serious also, Russell, Like, do you have this
note backed up somewhere on the cloud or somewhere else,
just in case you were to lose your phone, like,
I'm sure there's a lot on there. Yeah, okay, good, Yeah,
it's definitely it's on the cloud. It's I use every note.

(01:44:35):
I don't know if I'll use every note. Maybe I'm
that's very two thousand and eight of me, But I'm
still here. Ain't no outlaws for it. Stop holding back,
Let's talk about it. An't no outlaw for a second.
Hold on, let's just no, no, don't don't waste them
all because every ton rader Town's gonna steal your ideas.
Ain't no outlaw. What would I write? It? Ain't no
outlaw about And this is what I would say. I

(01:44:55):
would say, listen, I'm here to I'd make it a
love song, say I'm here to love you, and I'm
gonna be honest with you, and I'm gonna give you
everything I got because I ain't no outlaw when it
comes to love. I'm the sheriff. I'd be something. You
