Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan Number two.
What is up? Y'all? Happy? Post Thanksgiving? It is the
weekend and which officially means it's time to start celebrating Christmas.
This is the best bits of the week. I'm Morgan.
What I do is breakdown the show this weekend. Because
it was a short holiday week, we only have a

(00:21):
few shows to choose from. But trust me, there's a
lot of good there. My favorite part about this podcast though,
is I bring somebody on from the show and we
just get into all the nitty gritty details of work
life and whatever else in between. This weekend. That is lunchboxble.
Is that your best gobble? Yeah? One turkey survived Thanksgiving?

(00:42):
Why because you didn't cut down? Wait, don't don't share,
because we're gonna talk about thanks you don't cut down
the turkey. I know he's going to shoot down. I
just didn't want to say it. I know. But you
said cut down because you were thinking Christmas tree. You
were going to say Christmas tree. Yeah, you're not wrong
because you're thinking about Christmas already. And it's like, ah, yeah,
that's okay. But I'm here, you're here, We're all here,
they're all here. Hello everybody. I hope you had a
great Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoyed that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Yeah,

(01:06):
we got a lot to talk about. I mean, I
want to hear about your Thanksgiving and I want to
hear what you did all the things. Okay, I got it,
all right, let's go. I love when people of other
genres stopped by our show, and this one was no exception.
Rob Thomas of Matchbox twenty, Yes, he is that guy,
the lead singer, and he stopped by our show to
talk about that band, all of their years that they've

(01:27):
spent together. Plus he also talked about his Christmas project
and how his collaboration with Brad Paisley happened. So I'm
telling y'all, great interview. It's going down right now, number
seven on the Bobby Bones Show. Now up, Thomas. Rob,
let me say I'm a massive fan, and I believe
this is the first time that you and I have
ever spoken. So I will lead being a complete super

(01:49):
fan and just go you're the best. You're the best.
Oh man, Thank you man. That's very nice of you
to say. I'm glad you got my script. Yes, I
did want to ask, because I've been a fan for
such a long time and whenever you put out new music,
you know, I'm always drawn to it. But I did
see when you put out the Christmas record, that song
that you and Brad Paisley did together, how did this,
how did this collaboration come with you and Brad? You

(02:11):
know that we were still pretty much in lockdown the
whole time we were making this over the summer, and
so you know, when I wanted to get friends to
come in I had to literally just reach out into
my phone book and have people that I knew, you know,
I didn't have, Like it was going to be too
hard to get you know, my people to call their
people and try and get you know, the label, to
reach out to management and all that stuff. So I
just I wrote a country song that you know, it

(02:32):
was a country banger that in the way that Brad
plays guitar, the way that he sings. It was kind
of a no brainer, Like I just was hoping. I
went through it like manifest destiny, Like I went through
it like Oh, I'm telling myself and my wife like, oh, yeah,
this is the song I'm doing with Brad Paisley and
She's like, if you called him yet, I'm like, Noah,
but I'm sure he's gonna do it, And and then
he did it. I just attributed to the fact that
he really didn't have a lot to do either, and

(02:53):
he was kind of in lockdown and board, so so
I was just I lucked out with the timing. You
guys are playing it at the Rockefeller Center tree lighting
on NBC December first. Is it nerve racking to play
a song on a national stage that you haven't done
five hundred times? Yeah? I think so. I mean there's
an excitement level there, and especially because you know, it's
not like we haven't been on the road, right, so
we're not we haven't been out. Like the first time

(03:15):
I played in a year and a half was me
and Carlos in Central Park, right and there's like forty
thousand people, but it was like two songs. So you
come out, you get really really hyped up, and then
it's over. And that's the same kind of thing when
you do these TV shows, like you're kind of hyped
up and the whole day you're there, you're on set
and you're doing the rehearsals and their sound checks and
the run throughs, and then it's time, and then two
minutes later and it's over, and then they're you know,

(03:35):
they're moving on to you know, I don't know the
news of the day whenever you talk about these performances
and it's over, Like I think I saw you're doing
the Thanksgiving parade too. Yeah, do you actually sing or
do you have to lip sync? Because it's a moving float.
Nobody gets to play, no band, no not singing. It
has to because they don't. They're not rigged up right
at all. But then I was curious. I've always wondered

(03:57):
what happens, you know, like because they kind of moved
that spot and they perform, and then the parade moves
on and somebody else moves in that spot. So I
always wondered, like, what the hell do they do the
rest of the time? Right, So the rest of the time,
apparently it's just like a regular parade, and like Christmas
music comes from my Hallmark Channel float while I wave
to people, just like a normal parade. Rob Thomas is
on with us. One of my favorite albums, Yourself or

(04:20):
someone like you just turned twenty five years old. I mean,
do you look back, get that and go that was
yesterday or does it feel like just an eternity ago.
You know, I think like my wife and I've been
together twenty two years, and simultaneously it feels like I
don't remember a time before it, and it feels like
it was yesterday. I like, can of all. At the
same time, Rob Thomas is on with us and we're
talking about Macy's wish List Wednesday, and so there are

(04:41):
a couple things here. First, I want to know before
we talk about the actual items that we're going to
talk about, what are your holiday plans. I've been celebrating
Christmas since June because I've been here making this Christmas
record and getting everything built up and ready. So I'm
really looking forward. I think too, you know, I live
here in Westchester, New York, so I'm just waiting for
it to get nice and crisp, and you know, like

(05:01):
it's for us. It starts right after Macy's Parade, like
as soon as Santa goes past, Macy's Christmas begins and uh,
and for us, it's all about just you know, being
home and enjoying it. It's Macy's wish List Wednesday, where
we've curated wish list featuring the hottest gifts this year.
For example, there are gifts under twenty bucks during Black
Friday and Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. That was so weird. At first,
I thought it was Macy Gray's wish list, and I

(05:23):
was just like, that's all I'd like. Yeah, I thought
she just wanted like a big puffy coat, Like I'm
not sure. There's four ninety nine Lee Bys t shirts.
There's an eleven ninety nine drone, which that drone seems
like it would be easy to buy because if you
lost it in a tree, it wouldn't be that painful.
That's the I think the eleven ninety nine drone is
the preferred drone for spying on your neighbors because you know,
like you could fly it right over there and then

(05:44):
immediately just get out and run away from it and
just disavow any knowledge of knowing anything about the drone.
I could get four of them, you guys can't. Check
out Macy's dot com slash wish list to build drone
wish list for all your gifting needs, and once you
have a major list, go to Macy's dot com slash
believe to write a letter to Santa because For every
letter submitted to Santa Online, Macy's donates a dollar to
the Make a Wish Foundation, which helps to grant wishes

(06:06):
to kids who are fighting critical illnesses. And be sure
to tune into another epic Macy's Thanksgiving Parade tomorrow. Rob
will be there, Robert. You guys going back on the
row of Matchbox twenty next year. That's the plan. Yeah, Yeah,
a big summer tour. What's the what's the biggest song
people sing to? Like, when you look back at that
whole project, our born to run moment is uh is
like we can't. I don't think we're allowed to leave

(06:27):
without playing Push. I kind of feel like that's that's
the one, Like we have to we have to make
sure that, no matter what, we played that song. Rob
Thomas one of the biggest bands from you know, my lifetime,
and now you know he'll be on. He'll be lip
syncing and waving during the Macy's Thanksgiving patch. I've been
I've been working on if you can see me on
the monitor, I was, I'm working on my way pretty good.
It needs a little work, but it's pretty good. You're

(06:48):
getting there, all right, Rob Thomas, everybody dank you, buddy.
It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
ABC announced a new show coming for holiday time Minutes
with a bunch of boy bands and honestly super stokes
about this one. But on the show this week, we
shared our favorite boy band songs, which was fun to
listen to and you'll get to hear that in a

(07:09):
little bit. But lunch we got we gotta talk. Okay,
you had CDs growing up, right? I had a few. Okay,
I want to know what CDs you had, because for me,
I had in Sync and I had Baxstree Boys. Those
were two like on repeat CDs that I had. I
do believe that the first two CDs I got. One

(07:31):
was Aerosmith Biggins, Big Ones. I don't know, it was
like their greatest hits. Okay, got that for Christmas? Yeah?
And then what was the other one I got? Huh.
That's a good question. But you don't like remember you
don't remember putting them on repeat and like singing along
to them. No, I listen. I didn't listen to music

(07:51):
really until I was sixteen and I got a car
and there was a radio in my car, and so
then you turn on the radio and you listen to it.
The only person I really listened to was Tina Turner
because we were driving to Chicago one year to see
Grandma and Grandpa, and we stopped at McDonald's and if
you bought a what do you call a value meal,

(08:13):
no value meal, for an extra two ninety nine, you
could get Tina Turner's Greatest Hits or someone else. And
my mom was like, we'll take the Tina Turner's Greatest Hits.
And it was on cassette and we listened to it
the whole way, and I was like, this lady's amazing.
But like, music wasn't a driving factor for me. I
didn't sit around and watch MTV and watch music videos
like a lot of kids. I never did that. Like

(08:34):
me and my buddies, we never sat and just like,
oh my gosh, we got to see this music video.
So CDs were not like I don't have CDs that
I'm just like, oh, I remember that CD. It was amazing, Like, oh,
I went to the store that day and bought it.
I don't have a CD that I can tell you that.
I was just dying to go by. And I do
know that my brother and sister loved New Kids on

(08:55):
the Block. And it wasn't a CD, it was a cassette.
But they my brother would get every time we got
in the car. They wanted to listen to Hanging Tough,
Hanging Tough, Are you tough enough? That's from New Kids
on the Black. Yes, okay, I did not know that song. Yes,
but I have some questions here based on this story
you're telling of them. McDonald's used to give cassettes with

(09:17):
their value meals. I think it was just like a promotion.
I don't know why. And it was like one song
on the cassette is her greatest hits. It had all
of her songs. Yes for three dollars for two nine
what Yeah? And we bought it and we listened to
it the whole way side a inside me to Chicago
and back, and I was like, this lady is the

(09:37):
bomb dot com. Okay, so that's where your love of
Tina Turner. Kid's where it came from. And so yes,
I just was not a music person like my parents.
My dad still gets mad at me to the day
because we used to play name that tune on the
show and I was terrible, and he was like, how
are you so bad? He was like I used to
play the Beatles and all the classics for you, the

(09:59):
e Goals, the who I mean, And it was like
we had those records on all the time at the house.
How do you not remember that? And I was like,
I just don't pay attention. I guess. I feel like
you claimed at one point that your parents really didn't
raise you on music. Well, I mean, I guess they did,
and I didn't pay attention because I just we did.
We were not music lovers like most people, Like you

(10:19):
never went to concerts when you were a kid or anything. Nope,
But according to your dad, you guys did listen to
a lot of music, right, And they have an album,
they have a record player, and they have tons of records,
tons of them. They loved music. My parents went to concerts.
I just never went to concerts. Really, What about like
your siblings, did they like have a music attachment? Did they? Probably?

(10:43):
My sister liked the Chicks before they were called the
Dixie Chicks. Yeah, I know, she liked them. My brother.
I listened to some Metallica because my brother liked Metallica
and they were really good. But I couldn't tell you
my sister's five five favorite artists. I would say Dixie
Chicks and that's it. My brother was Metallica and probably
that's it. I just don't remember them being but they

(11:05):
liked the new kids on the block. I know that.
I remember that one. Okay. Oh another cassette tape that
someone burned for me, like and I gave it to
me for Christmas, A C and C music factory. I
don't even know who that is, what that is. I
think that's a band or group I don't remember. But yes, okay,
so you remember cassettes more than CDs. No, I mean,
I'm just saying those are the cassettes. I remember CDs

(11:28):
um because I like, for me, all right, I never
had a single cassette. I can tell you, like death
Row Records Greatest Hits, Volume two, if you can google that.
I believe Hit Him Up by Tupac is on that one, okay,
I'll trust you. And we listen to that in high
school on repeat. In my friend Lauren, she got a

(11:50):
car when she turned sixteen, and we jammed that. We
get in her car and hit him up, put it
on and we listened to Tupac all the time, and
she almost killed me on her like right out she
got her license because she pulled out into the highway
with no lights on and it was really scary. But
that really cracks me up because I mean I never
had cassette, So you were older enough than me to

(12:11):
have experienced that, but I never had that. Yeah, So
you did you ever have a walkman? Maybe one that
I got at groad sale. I never carried one around
with me. Dang, I mean you really like so if
music wasn't your thing, right, yeah, then what was being
outside like sports? Sports? Activity? Activity? I mean outside on
my bike, throwing stuff at cars, I mean anything and everything.

(12:35):
Just I was not sitting in front of the TV
watching him TV. And you did that through high school? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean I went to my first concert, like concert,
like big concert, like at an arena when I was
in college. That was the first con Tina Turner and
Lionel Richie was my first like big concert because really, dang,

(12:55):
you start attached to Tina Turner the whole time because
of that cassette player from ye, That's what I'm saying.
I never I never had any like, oh I want
to go to these concerts. So I went to Tina
Turner and then I think my second one was the
Dixie Chicks. Did you like that concert? It's great, Okay,
it's cool. It was when I was a promotions intern
for Case cave at in Austin, Texas, and I worked

(13:17):
the event and then I got done working, They're like, oh,
you want to go watch it? I was like sure,
So I went in the arena and watched the Dixie
Chicks and they're really good. But it's so wild to
me because I feel like as as you get older,
from you know, being a kid to getting older, you
have phases of your life, right, like phases where you're
really into music, or you're really into sports, or like
it just kind of your interests changed in the time,

(13:39):
but yours consistently stayed just chilling outside playing sports. Yeah,
I'm watching sports. I mean that's what I did. And
I talked to my friends now and I'm like, we
just were not into music like most people were. We don't.
I don't know. Maybe I should have been more into
music and it should speak to me, but I just
I don't know where people find all these artists, but

(14:01):
they find these random artists, and I'm just like, where
do you even find this stuff? It blows my mind
that people from social media now now, But I'm saying
back then, back then lunchbox radio. But I'm talking about
like small artists, like they didn't play small artists. I'm
talking they would find these niche whatever you call is

(14:22):
that what you call niche? Niche like and they would
go to these little concerts where there's one hundred people,
and I'm like, where do you hear about these people? Yeah,
I mean I can't speak to before, but it would
be like CDs, magazines, and TV would be the But
what CDs shaped? Like what are your CDs? Because I
mean I really just I can't name CDs. I you,

(14:43):
I can't even tell you album covers everybody talks about,
Oh I remember that album cover, No clue. There's there's
one I can name is Dana Carter. She's in a
field for Strawberry Wine that whatever that. I don't even
know what the album's called, but I remember that one
because I was like, Oh, that's a hot chick. It's
Dina Carter. By the way, I've gotten corrected on that too,

(15:03):
So I'm now passing alarment in phone for you and Biggins.
The one with Aerosmith was Blue Okay, and that's all
I remember. And I've I've heard of that Nirvana one
where there's a baby in the pool, but I dang
just one. I think the other one, Biggins and Boys
the Men, were the two CDs I was given. Those
were my two first CDs. Don't know what Boys, amen,

(15:26):
I have no idea. Okay, pretty accurate for your taste.
Still in music, I would feel like, yeah, yeah, so
it's just interesting that that's me. Yeah, I mean I
had so, I had in sync Backster Boys. These are
the CDs that I can remember. And then I got
an iPod and then everything changed, right, Yeah, but I
had in sync. I have an iPod. I didn't shoot

(15:47):
my old ones. I still work it the thick. You
still use an iPod? Well, how is I gonna listen
to my music your iPhone? No? But all the ones
I paid for on iTunes, lunchbox, those can be on
your phone. Oh really you really didn't know that? No? No,
you really still use an iPod. I got the blue
case on and everything lunchbox. I had no idea that

(16:13):
I could transfer my songs I download on iTunes to
my iPhone. No, No, I think your next it's all Apple.
What but I have no idea how to get them
off my my iPod to my You just have to
log into your account. What do you mean I have
iTunes on account. I have iTunes on here. Yes, Oh

(16:34):
so I don't have to connect my iPod to my iPhone.
I mean I would have to look into it for you.
But yes, okay, that's why I come on the Weekend Show.
I learned some things Lunchbox. I am still mindbling right
now that you still use an iPod and you did
not know you could actually listen to your iTunes songs
on your phone. No idea. Oh my god, I don't

(16:55):
even remember when I was talking about Yeah, what's that?
Saw our role? I mean we were like on the
same page as like, yeah, I have my old iPods
that I used to use, and you're like, no, I
still use one. Do you even still have a charger
for that? Yeah? I don't. Those chargers. Chargers are valuable,
They're expensive. I mean, I mean, you should we should

(17:17):
open a business. We should open a business of just
selling chargers. You'd be a rich You realize a lot
of people do that. No, right, Like there's chargers everywhere,
Oh like gas stations. Didn't know that they're everywhere. Okay,
you write cheap ones you're not supposed to. It'll be
bad for your phones. But my bad, Oh my gosh. Yeah.
Sometimes I just wonder if you kind of live on

(17:40):
an island already. Probably you crack me up. Probably. I
mean I probably am on an island and people are like,
this dude is an idiot. But how you've even been
functioning with an iPhone baffles me. I mean I don't
really use it very much. I use it to text, okay, fall, Instagram, Twitter,

(18:02):
it's about it, and FaceTime every once in a while,
it's about it. Do you ever get on your Instagram
on your phone? Yeah? Yeah, I post from that. How
you gotta post from your phone? Okay, so you've learned
that that tool. Well yeah, that's the only way to
post on this. Do you ever get on the Internet
on your phone? Very Yeah? I do every once in
a while, okay, like if I have to look something up. Okay,
but now it's too hard, Like it's like, but you

(18:23):
didn't really didn't know you could listen to no, I know,
you can listen to music. You can go to you know,
iHeartRadio app and listen to the Buy a Bone show
wherever you're at. We go everywhere with you. I understand that.
I didn't know I could get the phone the songs
off my iPod onto my iPhone. Didn't know that, Oh man. Yeah,
I mean I'd have to do some digging for you,
but I'm pretty sure your iTunes would still technically be connected,

(18:46):
because every time I've gotten to my iTunes account, I
still see old songs that I downloaded years ago. Yeah.
I don't know how to do that. Oh my goodness,
my mind is so blown right now. Well, I mean
that's what I'm here to do. Well. I was sharing
with you the CDs that I had, but honestly, I yeah,
no one cares about that anymore. They're all sitting there

(19:07):
going this, dude, they're googling. They're all googling right now.
Can you use your wife more in tune with technology
than you are? Yeah? Does she make fun of you
that you used to listen to an iPod? No? Does
she listen on an iPhone her music? No? She uses
the TV usually. Do you know how to do that? Yeah,

(19:30):
scroll over to the iHeartRadio app and hit it. Okay,
so you at least know how to do that on
a TV. No, but I just I mean, I just
learned that you can do play lists like like, if
you type in Chris Stapleton, yeah, you can make a list. No, no, no,
you can get other artists like him. I thought you
had to just listen to the album. Oh yeah, No,
it's great. It's curative music for you. That's what that means. Okay, cool,

(19:53):
I'd learned that. I'm just trying to see if there's
any other little tidbits that you're about to break out
that you haven't done. No, that's it. That's that's my
iPod up data of the week. Do you have like
your bank account on your phone? No? No chance, not
a chance on the Yeah, okay, you lose your phone.
Guess what, someone's got your phone. You have to log

(20:13):
into an account. I ain't doing that. Do you think
they can find out your account info? I mean, if
they can get on my phone, why can't they get
in my bank? Do you have a passcode on your phone? Absolutely? Okay, well,
but still what if they I mean, the hackers are good. Yeah.
Lot of the time when people steal a phone, they're
not a hacker. They're just stealing a phone. Okay, well,

(20:33):
let's take that chance. I'm not going to take that
one in a million chance. I'm not that bank account
of never going on my phone. Do you order food
on your phone now that you know what Uber eats is, No,
I only use duber eats. Whis in the hospital. That's it.
You don't ever use an when you order, it's a
rip off. No, When you order food from a restaurant,
do you call them or do you place it online? Oh?

(20:55):
I prefer to call them. You don't have to go
through Uber eats. But we could go through their website. Yeah,
and you prefer to call them? Yeah, okay, I listen,
but you know that you could go online. I could okay,
but you know Uber each charges you like six times
the price of a regular It's insane, it is. And
I'm like, I can't pay that much money for something.

(21:16):
And here's another thing. I don't ever do delivery. I'm
picking You'll always pick it up, absolutely, that's fair. If
I am not hungover or dying from sickness or something,
then I will I will go pick it up. I'm
with you on that. Yeah, I mean I get that,
I understand those, but I'm just I'm so cheap that
those fees and everything. I'm not play playing that game.

(21:38):
No chance, no chance. If you ever have to get ubers.
Do you do have Uber on your phone? Though? Now
I have left? Okay, well you have a right shuir? Okay, Yeah.
And the only reason I've lift is because it was
the first one I downloaded. I didn't. I saw the
pink mustaches way back in the day. I was like,
I'll take that one. Well, I'm glad to find out that,
for the most part, you are getting better about being
tech savvy. This has been a process, yep. But I

(22:00):
am still mind blown about the iPod situation. We're gonna
have to figure that out for you. Thank you. And
I mean, I don't know what segment we're going into
because I totally lost it. I no, I mean, hey,
it's there, we're talking. We're talking about boy bands. We
got led to an iPod and I love it. Okay, Okay,
do you not know so you don't know who the
Backstreet No, No, the Backstreet Boys. The new kids on

(22:21):
the block are I know who? The only like reference
I have to new kids on the block are new
kids on the block. Got a bunch of chicks. I
don't know. I don't know what hit hits hits sick.
That song. That's the only like New Kids on the
Block that I have a reference to. And I don't
even think that's a New Kids on the Block song. No,

(22:42):
that's the New Kids. Yeah. I think they were a
little bit before Backtory Boys ency a little bit. They
were like ten years before, like way before, like they
were like nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety. I mean, because
I remember getting in the car and my brother and
sister wanting this cassette every time. I know I didn't
listen to them, but does it sound good? Well, let

(23:05):
me listen to a little, let me get a vibe, Stu,
the Steves hitting up, just get I mean a little
old school for me personally, Thanks Steve. What were your

(23:26):
top three boy bands then? Well, I mean it would
be in sy Backstreet Boys, and I don't think I
have a third one. I mean, during this segment, I
get trolled because I chose the Jackson five song, which honestly,
I did think they were a boy band in my mind.
I did, all right. I just think, like a does
a group of guys if they're dancing at all, they're
a boy band, but I guess the instrument Bobby Bones

(23:48):
and the Raging Idiots are a boy band. No, because
there's only two of them. It's not a full band.
But you said, if there's boys, bunch of guys, I said,
a bunch of guys dancing, okay, like five? Oh, okay,
you know a yeah? Only three? Was it? Really? I
thought it was four? I have no idea, Nicola say
his brother, I think it's four, and some other guys

(24:09):
thought because like once you hit that four Max because
like one direction right or um gosh, bts. I mean
they're huge, they're full, and they're they're dancing. So I
do get that instrument part. Why Jack did five when
I didn't even realize anybody to like guitars. I just
loved the song. Boy, I'm just I'm sorry. I only

(24:31):
have certain references to things, so I don't I'm still
young ish, so like there's only certain things. So I've
only heard that song and I've loved it, right, got it.
I would have never known that they weren't a boy
man because I never saw him on TV. I never
watched videos on them. It's a good point, but I
did watch Battery boys, I mean in sync religiously. I

(24:52):
have all of their CDs. Those were the boy bands
of my time. Yeah, I didn't know anything. I mean
I was just like, I know who they are. I
mean I don't know their songs. I know some of them,
but I don't know that that Bye. Do you know
that one that's justin Timberlake? Yeah, one the in Sync.
I wanted that would tell me why I don't know

(25:15):
who which band that is? I mean they're at this
point to me, they kind of intermingled. No, the one
you just sang, who was it? I wanted that way.
I believe it's Backttery Boys, right, Eddy, Yeah, I think
it is. But honestly, between the two, like you could
play a bunch of different songs and they'd start to
cross over to me because they sound similar. Yeah, I
just don't. I mean I don't know, but I still
had both of all of their albums. Okay, did you

(25:36):
go see him in concert? No? I don't think I
ever saw them because my family was huge country music fans,
so we always went to country music and which Doot
Kansas before you know, Oh, no one was going there.
No nobody from that pop genre was going there. Because
your country was really Yeah, I mean that I saw
Schnei Twin and which Kansas Okay, And you had a

(25:57):
lot of country artists coming there, not a lot of pop.
It was it was a big deal if other genres
came to Wichita. Yeah, and not now it's your parents
took you to concerts, because I mean, even if I
wanted to go to a concert, my parents went and
taking me. I mean we wanted to go to the circus,
and they would take us to the parking lot beforehand
and pet the elephants, and then we'd get in the

(26:18):
car and leave because they did weren't gonna They were like,
we aren't gonna pay for tickets, So this is where
the money thing happened. I honestly, I honestly didn't know
that was I thought that was the circus until I
was I don't even want to admit how old. So
you thought the parking lot was the circus? Well, because
we got to pet the elephants. The elephants walked around outside,
so I was like, oh, this is cool, and we'd

(26:38):
pet them and we'd leave. Did it take you until
watching The Greatest Showman that you realized that wasn't the
certain I've never seen the Greatest Showman. You should watch
the Greatest Showman. I'll get on that today. Do you
like musicals at all? Yeah, it's fantastic. Like I mean,
I used to think, oh my gosh, musical, I'm never
gonna watch this crap terrible. But I've seen a couple

(26:59):
because my wife and like, we went and saw Hamilton. Yeah,
and you loved it. It's fantastic. And then we saw
the Tina Turner musical too. Okay, it's amazing. See and
you loved that. Yeah. That didn't have Tina Turner in it, though,
did it? Well? No, Well, sometimes they make guest appearances.
Oh my gosh, I would I'd had a heart attack. Okay, Well,

(27:19):
over the next holiday break at some point, watch Greatest Showmen.
It's on Disney Plus. Okay, I have Disney Plus. Yeah,
it's on there, and it's fantastic. Good, I'll watch them.
That's you. That's your homework. So writing it down, lunchbox
is going to go watch The Greatest Showman. And right now,
you guys are going to hear us talk about our
favorite boy band songs. Number six ABC has announced they'll

(27:42):
be doing a very special boy band Christmas. So it's
going to be members of in Sync, New Edition, New
Kids on the Block, Boys to Men, ninety Degrees in Otown.
It will later December sixth, and all the boy bands
are gonna sing Christmas songs. Here's the thing about the
boy bands, it's mostly the crappy members or the mid
tier bands and below. Oh what, I don't know. It

(28:06):
just feels weird to say that crappy members. Okay, Amy,
who are the good members of in Sync? Go? Justin
timber Lay, Um, Lance Bass ain't one of the good ones.
Just what? He's not a good one? Um? J C.
I would say Justin and j C were the good one.

(28:27):
And by the way, I like Chris Kirkpatrick, but he
wasn't someone that was out in front and center. Yeah
what about Fatone? What's wrong with him? Again? Joe? Nothing's
wrong with them. I'm saying though, if you're going to
an InSync show and it's Fatone and Lance Bass, you're like,
what is happening here? Um? So that's from in Sync?
I mean ninety degrees. I'm sure they'll all be there. Um.

(28:47):
I will not be with my old guys from Otown,
but they will be there. So listen. It'll be a
fun show. I bring it up because I think it'll
be fine. But also I have my top three boy
band songs of all time? Are you guys ready? Yes?
At number three, in Sync Gone Yo, Baby, Gone Baby
down Yo Yo. At number two, Backstreet Boys, all I

(29:13):
have to give, and at number one, gotta go with
my guys. Ohtown all or nothing comes up all They
just don't make music like that anymore. Kids. Let's be honest. Yeah.

(29:35):
Uh number one boy band song of all time to you, Amy,
I mean there's so many, but I'll go with Backstreet Boys.
I want it that way. Oh yeah, that's a big one. Eddie,
what about you? Number one boy band song of all time?
I mean I gotta go with the Ogs, new Kids
on the Block, hanging No, what is it right? Stuff

(29:56):
by Dang. Eddie's older than it's really old. Hey that's
what I remember. Yeah, Yeah, Eddie's older than us. Lunchbox
number one boy band song of all time. Yeah, LMFAO
Summer Girls. No, no, no no, it's LFO Summer Girls. LMFAO

(30:17):
saying shot shot shot shot shot, Oh okay yeah, LFO
Summer Girls. One more Morgan my favorite was always Jackson five,
ABC one two three. Oh wow, I'm serious. I had
this song on. I don't make me accept that. That's

(30:38):
we don't accept that answer. Really, they played their own instruments,
do we accept? I mean they would be the O
G O G O G boy bands, Moon, I don't
think that. No, that's not a boy bands. No. I
would still go with like the four Tops or something.
If we're doing that, Eddie, that wouldn't be Yeah, I
guess you're right. You know what I'm saying. We accept

(30:59):
your answer, Morgan, We apologize. It's gonna update for you,
so we apologize. It's the best bits of the week
with Morgan number two coming in hot at number five,
which I know Lunchbox is about to give me a
hard time about. But Lunchbox went out on the streets
talk to some strangers and try to get invited to Thanksgiving.

(31:22):
Why would I give you a hard time about that
because it's that number five. You always give me a
hard time when you're not at number one. No, No No,
I thought me having a child was the most important
thing of a week. Yes, I'm sorry, Amy, taking a
shot was not more important than me having a child.
That is the only one. I ever, your wife having
a child. You do not physically have the child. I

(31:44):
physically have it. Oh, I physically hold it? Fighting words
with your wife. I'm sure. Do I physically hold that child? Yes?
Do I physically change that child? Do you physically have
the child? No? I physically I physically created that child. Okay, No,
I did like? Cool? D M I T M. I
I mean it's science. Yeah, you know what I could

(32:08):
have gone with, keeping science in my mind, and you're
not reiterating science. Well, I mean that's how it happens.
But anyways, I this, I mean, okay, I can't wait
to see what's ahead of this because I thought this
was hilarious. It was hilarious, which is why it made
it okay awkward. It's very awkward because you hear news
stories and you know, I mean, I want to be
on the news, and so I thought, let's see And

(32:29):
then you didn't even kind of my Thanksgiving. I invited
you to my Thanksgiving because you were staying in town.
You didn't invite me to your Thanksgiving. Oh my goodness,
that did not happen. Wait, hold on, you did say,
do you wants to come hang out with some some
screaming kids. I said, would you like to come over
on Thanksgiving and hang out with three screaming kids and

(32:51):
my wife and I. That's quite the invitation, and that
is so is that an invite to my Thanksgiving? I
suppose that is an invite, thank you very much, but
I think it was a little overshadowed by the three
screaming kids. Note that you said yeah, Well, I said
that because I wanted to warn you that it would
be loud and it wouldn't be relaxing like you're probably
looking for on Thanksgivings. Warned me or like invite me,

(33:13):
but like not give me to come, because people do
that all. Oh no, I don't care if you I
would have loved for you come. It's great, dang, but
now I'm sad. That's okay. What'd you do on Thanksgiving?
Let's see what. It rained a lot so and it
was cold, so we really didn't do anything. We stayed
in the house and we looked at each other and
we ate some food. We watched some bos at each other. Yeah,

(33:37):
we watched some football and took a nap. And the
in laws are here and the sister in law, so
we just kind of hung out and oh yeah, so
you had family in town too. Yeah, okay, so it
was a good time. Yeah, what'd you do? What'd you wait?
What'd you order for food? We ordered a turkey and
some gravy and some pie and rolls. I'm like a

(34:02):
spot in town or something. My wife ordered. I don't
know where she got her phone. Just so you guys
didn't cook, you're not cooked. Well, here's the thing. When
you have three young children, there's no way you're gonna
be able to cook. It's just it's too much, it's
too stressful. So why do it? Even with the in
laws in town? Yeah, I don't think you understand how

(34:22):
hiring three kids under three years of hr? Oh, I
believe you. But I was just curious, like, if the
inlaws were in town, did they, like, would they want
to help with cooking or like help with the kids.
I mean, my mother in law would have like she
did some she cooked something like she had her things
that she wanted to make and so hey, go ahead,
how about it get in that kitchen, girl? What up?
I'll be over on the couch watching football. Okay. Yeah,

(34:45):
so it was a good one though. It was good.
It was good. It was a good Thanksgiving as a
family of five. You didn't do any running or anything
raining raining? Do you ever run a marathon on Thanksgiving? No,
I've run. I usually run the Turkey Try. This year
broke my tradition of running the Turkey Try. I don't
you know if Nashville has that, but I am usually
in Austin or Houston, and they always have one, so
I always joined that one. But if Nashville had one,

(35:07):
I did not do it. So you typically every year
we'll run a turkey trot. Yeah, I get up in
the morning, go do the turkey trot, come home and eat,
and then take a bout those turkey trots ten k usually,
So what is that? Six point two miles? That's not bad. No,
it's not bad. It's a good way to get your
Thanksgiving started. And how much do you run? Like daily?
Because you run pretty often, that's kind of your workout.

(35:29):
Five and a half or six miles a day. Yeah,
I'll try to get it in every day. You plan
and do any marathon soon? Nope? Never again, never again.
I ran one. That's all I needed. Okay, never ever. No,
I mean pay me and I'll do it. But I
mean I'm no need to been there, done that. You No,
I'll never run a marathon. I know. I'll do five k's. Okay,

(35:51):
that's the extent of my running. That's good because after
that I want to die. Well you think I'm getting
I literally feel like I'm gonna die. Do you run
the whole though attempt for the most part. Okay, that's good.
I'm in this part of my workout right now where
he's having me run three miles. Good, and I run
probably about two point seventy five, which is pretty good

(36:14):
for me because I hate running. So who makes you
run that? My trainer? So he sits there and wait
for you to come back. No, So this is on
like the off days when I don't train with him,
he gives me workouts, got it. And one of my
daily workouts not every day, but one of them is
three miles. You know. One of the most annoying things
is is I'll go run these races five k, ten k, whatever,

(36:35):
and I'm there to win. I'm there to compete and
try to get my best time because I'm I'm a
fast runner compared to most of the population right that
are running these things, So I always get up at
the front or you know, try to get in a
little time slot like it says, oh, if you run
this pace, run this pace, run this pace, stand in
this corral. Well you get in there and you try

(36:58):
to do it honestly. And then so the race starts
and you have people that are, you know, in front
of you that they get in line too because they
see the signs too, and they run a hundred yards
and start walking. So the first mile you spend dodging
stupid people that decide, Okay, I've run one hundred yards,
I'm gonna walk now, and you have to zig zag
and zig zag and zig zag. Why don't they just

(37:19):
go to the back if they're just gonna walk, Like,
why why get in front of people that are there
to run? Like why get up there at the front
if you're just going to be annoying? Well maybe they're
they're new runners, right, so maybe they're just like, I
don't know, if this looks good. I would imagine that's
most people in five ks or ten ks, because people
don't do them that often. Yeah, maybe right, But I'm

(37:40):
telling you that nothing drives me more insane than when
I'm spreading out of the gate and the person why
don't you go in the front. Well, I try to
get up there as you know what I mean. But
when you get there, there's a lot of people. Yes,
So I'm like, all right, cool, I'll just get in here.
Why you know it says you run this minute mile,
I'll run Like how fast are you moving? Well? I

(38:00):
can run. I run a five k now, I mean
in nineteen minutes nine, nineteen thirty something like that. So yeah,
you'd smoke me. You would smoke me. Yeah. Yeah, I mean,
I'm I'm I'm I'm fast for my age and just
for for most people. I'm not. I'm not saying I
used to be even I used to run. I mean

(38:20):
my fastest ever I ran a four to twenty six
mile in high school. Okay, what in the super human? Yeah,
so that's what I mean. Like, I'm fast, and so
that's what I mean. I get frustrated when I'm right
I'm ready to run. I mean, you need to be
like that first foot on the starting Oh. Now there's
people that are just so fast. I mean I just
can't keep up with them. I mean, no, but you're

(38:42):
pretty much up there. I do I do well for yes,
and I enjoy it. It's fun. But I didn't get
to do it this Thanksgiving, and that's okay. There's always
next year. Yeah, we broke your tradition. I know. I
always set a goal, like I like when I go
to Houston and for Thanksgiving cause that's where my wif from,
I do the turkey dry and I always try to
be in the top one hundred out of everybody that

(39:04):
does it. Dang, And you always are well so far
knock on wood. I mean just getting older, there's a
there's younger people coming up. No, that's good for you.
It's good for your health to keep running it is,
it's good for you. And if you want to. And
I play soccer, but I play soccer once a week.
And if I'm gonna keep playing soccer, I can't be
the old slow guy out there. Keep your conditioning. You

(39:26):
had to be in conditioning. You have to be in
shape or it's over. And so are you the oldest
guy in your soccer by far? By how much like
ten years? No? On my team, we have another guy
that's like thirty seven, okay, and then some people in
their early thirties and some people. One girl on my
team I think is twenty oh Yeah, you're all over

(39:47):
the place of the eighties. Yeah, but you are definitely
the oldest. Definitely the oldest, probably the oldest in the league.
That's wild. Hey, you keep kicking, you keep moving as
long as you can, doesn't matter. And the younger guy
they get kind of mad. They get mad because they think, oh,
I'm going to beat the crap of this old man,
and then I'm just there and it's just like they
get really annoyed. So I kind of anger some people.

(40:07):
I mean, that's a good thing. Oh it's good. I
love that aspires them to be good. When they get
all that gets under their skin, I'll love it. It It
gets a little chippy, you know what. And that's what
I love it. And that's what I love it. They
need you to do that to them. But that's what
I'm thankful for. You know, I'm just thankful for my health.
I'm thankful I'm here. That's what you're thankful for. But
you didn't tell me what you different days Giving well,

(40:28):
I mean I hung out with a lot of friends.
I went to some Christmas pop up bars. This is
over kind of the whole like holiday that I had
the actual Thanksgiving Day. What are Christmas pop up bars, Oh, Nashville,
Like certain bars will turn their bar all the way
over to Christmas decorations and stuff. Okay, so it's like
a Christmas pop up, but they're not like that year round.
I know, I understand that. So they just decorated for Christmas. Okay. Yeah,

(40:50):
so when you say they're a Christmas pop up bar, yeah,
I think it's a whole new bar that just opened
for Christmas. Okay. Some of them do like in like
little um event spaces that they can rent out, got it?
Do that? That's cool, But that's not the ones we
went to. This. We went to ones because they literally transformed,
like there's this place that's that does like tiky drinks

(41:14):
and everything, and they transform their entire bar from like
island to Christmas and it's awesome. That's cool. Yeah, that's
a lot of fun. So we did that and then
um on Thanksgiving. Actually, no, I'm not saying it. Oh,
I'll say it to you later. Okay, I'm telling you
it's so hard to get into already. Okay, if I
put it out there, then this is gonna be really

(41:35):
hard to get sy. I didn't know it was like that.
It's called pearl tiver. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay,
I got you is a cool one. Um. On actual
Thanksgiving Day, though, I stopped by Amy's. I said hi
over there, Well that's nice stop in say hi and
then leave? Or did you hang out for a little bit? Yeah?
I mean I wasn't there for too long. Good and

(41:57):
then honestly I went home. I cooked my favorite foods
grilled cheese. No no, no, no, but those aren't my
favorite foods. My favorite Thanksgiving foods. You ready? Sweet potatoes?

Green beans, yes, air fried green beans. Okay, I'm nailing

(42:20):

Two and I'm vegetarian. So well, here's the thing. I
don't know what else you can make on Thanksgiving. Like
we did the side. I drafted it, one of them.
You drafted it. That's what I'm saying. Like I we
do this side. I think it's a vegetable. Hit me,

(42:42):
creamed corn corn. I did corn pudding. Oh okay, I
think corn a vegetable. I don't know. I think it
is I think it is. I wouldn't have said cream corn.
I'd have said corn. Yeah, well it's called corn pudding.
You bake it in even is so good? What is that?
I don't have never had that has like it has eggs,
sour cream, cheddar cheese, and Jiffy corn muffin mix and

(43:07):

it's corn pudding. So do you eat it as a dessert? No,
it's a it's a side. What was the last thing? Oh?
I had two more things. I had salad. I made
a Rugela chopped salad that was bomb amazing. And then

(43:30):
the last thing I had apple pie with vanilla ice cream.
See I made I made like my whole little favorite
thanks Gimmy Mule for me and Remy. That's a lot
of work. That's a lot of work, it was, but
I was like, you know what, listen, I've had like
the really hard week, right, so I was like, I

(43:50):
need like this time to just do something that I
really love and that will like make me feel good.
I just realize what number one's gonna be? What wh
do you think number one's going to be? I mean,
you're talking about your rough week, and so I think
I know what number one is because there was something
about you this week. Oh yeah, no that's not number one.

(44:11):
Oh no, sorry, Like right when you said you had
a rough week, I was like, dang, due to take
you off tracking your story. I didn't mean in rough.
I do interrupt a lot, but I was like, whoa,
all right, no, no, no, that's not number one. But
we did talk about that, but no, I mean it
was like, honestly, it was awesome. We can we'll talk
about that. That'll be That'll be coming up here soon.

(44:32):
That's what I'd like to hear. Um. But I really did,
like I needed some time to myself to cook my
favorite foods, eat them, hang out with my dog, and
watch a bunch of TV. Like I needed that good.
So I'm glad you got it. I'm glad you had
a happy Thanksgiving. You didn't come by my house, but
you went by Amy's. I'm not hurt, It's okay, but
uh yeah, let's let me do you blame me? You

(44:53):
kind of you kind of masqueraded that with three screaming kids. No,
I understood three screaming kids. No one wants to come
to three screaming kids. Now, if you would have said
three happy kids, I would have stopped by. Well, they
are happy, but they're just like they are your children.
I'm not necessarily saying they scream in a bad mood.
They're just screaming because they're kids. They're having a good time. Yes,
you're right. Oh well I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

(45:16):
it's just a great day to be alive. Oh boy,
we're gonna hind on that note. Give it to him
one more time. It's a great day to be alive.
Number five. I love a good social experiment, lunchbox. What'd
you do? So? I always see news stories about people
getting invited to stranger's Thanksgiving. So I went out around town,
talked to random people and said, man, I got no plans.

(45:37):
Think I can come to your house for Thanksgiving. See
if they'll let me come. Where would you have these
conversations like the grocery stores I had to get, you know,
like people walking down the street really wouldn't stop and
talk to me. So people working, they're forced to stand
there and talk to me. I already feel awkward and
I haven't heard a single clip. Like my insides have
slightly turned a little. That's what it feels like when

(45:59):
it feels awkward. Like. But let's hear a clip. This
is clip number one, lunchbox. You're at the grocery store.
At the grocery store, all right, here we go getting
ready for Thanksgiving. Huh, you've got a crazy man. It's big,
but you're excited about Thanksgiving. I am, man, you got
big plans. Me and my family usually go to this

(46:19):
church that my grandmother I always waiting to the kids.
That's cool, man, cool, How about you? Man? Man, I
really ain't got nowhere to go. Man, it's just me,
so you know, I'm just yeah, yeah, yeah man. So
I was just hoping you would. Uh. I can come
with you, I always so always. Man, I'm sorry about that.
Oh yeah, because I'm just gonna be by myself, you know,

(46:40):
so like you know, you and your family. One extra guest,
just say the word man, all right? He was at
the word yes or no. I don't think so, sorry
about that. Okay, that's really awkward. My guts kept turning,
they turned they turned more. Oh, okay, okay, you got one. Know,
here is lunchbox talking to somebody else trying to get

(47:02):
invited to Thanksgiving a big plan. Yeah it's my kids.
That's good. That's good. Good, that's good. I mean because
if you've got an extra seat, you know, I don't
have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. Yeah, because I'm gonna
be all by myself for Thanksgiving. Yeah. Yeah, so you've
got extra piece of pie and he's extra turkey. Just

(47:24):
let me know. Yeah, just say the word, I'll be there.
I guess that's a no. All right? Did she just
walk away? Just walked away? Man? Oh my god, it
was turning, walked turned in obbosite direction. How do you

(47:44):
feel why you're doing this? I'm laughing in my head,
going these people think I'm absolutely crazy, Like these people
think I have a screw loose in my head. And
they're like, this guy really wants to come to my house.
And I mean it's the the look on their face,
the awkwardness of like how do I handle this? It's
just pure joy for me. He goes something new you
brought to it was that's good. That's good, that's good. Hey,

(48:06):
play that second clip backgrave just a little bit, big plan. Yeah,
that's good, that's good. Good, that's good because if you
got an extra scene, you know, I don't have anywhere
to go because I'm really trying to feel like, oh
I'm excited for them. That's good. Then it's like sad
that I don't have anywhere to go, Like, it's good
you got something to do, because I have nothing to do,

(48:27):
and it'd be good if you invited me to your plans.
I saw the guy I think it's their sixty year now,
the guy who accidentally texted the wrong person about Thanksgiving. Yeah,
it was Yeah, the lady accidentally texted him and it
was grandma. It was a grandma texting her grandson like, hey,
you coming for Thanksgiving and he's like, I don't know

(48:47):
who you are, Grandma, but I'm sure be there. And
they've kept up the tradition for like six years, and
they'd be making a that tradition. Yeah, that's a good bit, though, Lunchbox,
nice job. Thanks, by the way, I should say, that's good.
That's good, that's good. That's good. It's the best bits
of the week with Morgan number two after weeks of

(49:14):
talking about it, even her giving us a live performance
in studio. Abby's saying in the national anthem at the
Saint Jude Rock and Roll Marathon, and we got to
hear how it all went down, and plus even something
that happened afterward that made lunchbox a little mad. And
we're not going to talk about a lunch We're just
gonna let it happen because we don't need to get

(49:34):
you all riled up again. Okay, I'm not gonna look.
I'm ignoring it so I won't get mad. I'm looking
at my phone like, oh yeah, I'm not even Karen,
but I'm a little bit Karen. Okay, Karen, right, not
like you're not a little bit Karen. Well some people
would call me Karen also, okay, so your both yeah,
all right here right now, this is Abby singing the

(49:55):
national anthem number four. All right, it's a big weekend
for Abby our phone screener. We'll get to your ash
lanthem in a second. But you went and ran the
Saint You'd half marathon, and how'd you do good? I
wanted to get below two hours, so that was my
goal and I did, so would you get what's your time?
It was like one fifty five, I think okay, well,
come on, let's clap it. Okay. And so I saw

(50:18):
that you had set a fundraising goal at like three
thousand dollars. Did you Did you beat that? Yes? Thirty
eight hundred. That's awesome. But let's get to it here.
Because we had spent the last couple of weeks talking
about you singing the Nashal anthem, and Lunchbox told you
not to do it because he was afraid you were
going to embarrass yourself. How were you feeling as you
walked up to that microphone? I was probably equally nervous

(50:42):
for running the race, so I was just I wasn't
that nervous actually for singing? Were you up on a
pedestal or yeah? I was up on a stage, so
I actually sing twice. I did for the five k,
and then an hour later I did for the marathon
and half marathon. So the second one loose, Yeah, the
second one, you're ready to go? Right? It was up
on a stage though, yes, by the start line. Okay.
Would you like to hear this, guys? Yeah? Is this

(51:05):
the full version? It is? Okay, So let's all be
present and make sure you put your hands on your hearts.
I know this is a radio bit, but this is
still the national anthem. Let's respect it. Let's respect Abbey.
We will comment afterward, So no no making noise over
the top of it. Everybody good? Yeah? Good? Okay? Here

(51:25):
is Abby. She was told she shouldn't sing the national
anthem because lunchbox said she couldn't sing good enough to
do this. True or false, Lunchbox true? Have you heard
her sing? It's not good? Okay, We've heard her sing
and we think it's actually pretty good. Okay, Here is
Abby singing the national anthem. Welcome a canny you see

(52:02):
by the downs line? What's so proud? He and the twine? Lastly,
who's brought strips and bright stars through the pair spine?

(52:26):
Or the ram punts? Ae wach We're so gady? Stream?
Can the rock sprang? The mom's bursting game roof through

(52:46):
the night? Then I'm black wast bam all saying? Does
that starts bingled bane? Here a couple of things I

(53:20):
want to mention here. One the guy's like the Billy
Jones show what the crap is that? So let's let's
go ahead and point that out too. Somebody goes, yeah, girl,
was that like your high person. Oh yeah, it was
a friend. No, it was the other announcer, So okay, yeah,
so that that's two. Three was I'm watching Abby on

(53:41):
camera here, and as I say, hey, be sure to
you know, respect the national anthem, Abby is standing up
with her hand on her heart to herself singing the
national anthem, which is right, but still singing a little
weird because she's standing up to herself singing it. Yeah,
but Abby, let me say this. That was fantastic. It was.
It was. It was so good. You nail the biggest notes.

(54:04):
You know. Again, this is not American Idol where I'm
on going, Hey you did this, you didn't do that.
I'm just gonna say that it was great and the
hardest part that I often worry about with people. It
was so pure and you nailed it. So I'm gonna
say solid a. But I do have to go to lunchbox. Now, lunchbox,
you heard her nail it. What are you saying about it?
You saying as solid a is like saying she is

(54:26):
Carrie Underwood. You can't be as good as Carrie Underwood.
I mean, you didn't embarrass yourself, but there's parts where
you try to do the runs and you just can't
get there, so you like you go in the run.
It's kind of you know, and it's like, oh, it's
kind of awkward. If you would just stay a little
flatter and not trying to be as cool and do
the runs, maybe you didn't embarrass yourself. But I wouldn't

(54:47):
give you an a That's the exact same advice I
give kids an American idol Lunchbox did. They're same everything
that Abby. It was great, It was really great. So
I'm proud of you for accepting it, for doing it.
But I do want to play it clip that's gonna
drive Lunchbox crazy because one of Lunchbox's dreams in life
is to just be featured on the news, to be

(55:07):
celebrated on the news. For some reason, he has this
this fantasy that he's going to go on the local
news and they're gonna talk about how great of a
guy is Abby got to do this? I did for
what's multiple times too. I do want to play some
audio from the news. What what channel is is? Abby?
This was Channel five? Okay here in town. Here's here's

(55:30):
Abby on Channel five going sitting in the studio talking
with them. But here's the intro. Bobby Anderson from the
Bobby Bones Radio Show has run the race eight times,
and she's about to make it her n Wow, thank you. Well,
I know a lot of folks will recognize you from
the Bobby Bones Radio Show. You're the phone screener. There,

(55:55):
no hold on? Why is she on this the morning? Like?
Why is she on the news talking about her running
the race? Like? I mean a lot of people recognize
her from answering the phones though absolutely not no one
recognized servermanswering the phones and b who cares if she's
run the race eight times, that's newsworthy it is she's

(56:15):
run it nine times. I didn't know that. That's really cool. Yeah,
it's not a world record. I guarantee there's people that
have done it more than nine times. And get out
of here. Amy say what you're gonna say. I think
it's impressive. I too, was like, whoa, Now you've done
it nine times. That's crazy, Like I gasped at that lunchbox. Also,
were they having you on two to talk about the
national anthem or anything? Yeah? It was a spread awareness

(56:37):
for Saint Jude as a Saint Jude hero and singing
the national anthem and running it all in one. I
mean it makes perfect. I've done the turkey trot every year.
They don't put me on the news. Good. You're also
not raising money at the turkey trot. Yeah, it's also
not It's not like she raised a million dollars. Come on,
so it's awesome. You're not performing at the turkey trot,

(57:00):
so it's not the same. Also, it's the turkey trot. Okay.
I've a great job all the way around. And thanks
for going on the news. I knew that would drive
lunchbox crazy. I cannot believe the news. That's insane. They
cover some dumb stuff. Then I can't believe Fox seventeen did. Also,

(57:23):
it's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
I don't like that this is coming in hot at
number three, but it is. It is. When we talked
about why whole dating up, it has to be coming
in hot because that was hot off the press, Hot
off the press. Read what the doctor got? What do

(57:46):
they say, Uh, are you trying to like go back
to like fifties sixty years? Yeah? No, God got nothing man. Yeah,
it was. It was an intense topic for no reason though,
either not all y'all all tried to dive in. No, man,
I'm just sitting here telling y'all relationship. You were telling
us your Thanksgiving plans and we were trying to dissect

(58:10):
y you and your boyfriend. We're not hanging out on Thanksgiving.
And then you said We were like, well, are you
guys even serious? And then you dropped something on us
and we were just like, whoa, we sounded the alarm.
We can talk about it. No, no no, no, we called
the breaking news. Do you want me to rule it?
I don't think we talked to like breaking news because
it was just more of a casual thing. You know,

(58:31):
what are you talking about? It was breaking news. The
way you slid it in there, you tried to make
it casual. You tried to act like it wasn't a
big deal. It was the first time you ever told
us that, hey, this has been talked about. You had
never said that in this room. And so it's like, yeah,
that's breaking news, that's a bomb drop, that's alarms go off,
that's hey alert, alert alert, Get the cameras in here.

(58:53):
Let's go Wells conference at five. Spoiler alert before you
get into the segment. Now, lunch box, you can talk
about it, so if they can just they can fast
forward if they would like to. But I think most
people have heard the segment already. They're just listening for us.
Oh oh yeah, I am just interested, Like where did
this I Love you talk take place? Was it just
on the couch? Were you drinking? You? Well, let me

(59:18):
like a date night, like what happened? Let me break
this down for you. Okay, So again, this is the
first healthy relationship I have had in my entire life. Okay, okay,
like genuinely the first one. So I don't know what
to do with that already, because I'm learning a lot
of things. Yeah, because your girlfriends felt the same way

(59:38):
the night I met him, meaning they were like, man,
I hope because she always dates to these guys that
are like they were just you know, as we're drinking
and talking, they're like, yeah, she always dates these weirdos
and it does never work out, and like, hopefully he's nice,
because dang, she gets stuck with some rotten dudes. And
so they were very you know, that was very early

(59:59):
on in our list, early on, like we weren't even
official yet, we were an official official. You were just
smooching something like that. So the first time. So when
he officially asked me to be his girlfriend, it was
similarly casual. Right, this is just a guy who has
a lot of walls up and like the fact that
I have broken down a lot of them. He asked
you to be his girlfriend, Like yeah, I'm telling you. Yeah, good,

(01:00:21):
it's It's again another kind of casual situation. So we
was actually me and him and one of my girlfriends.
We went um kayaking over a Memorial Day weekend. We
were like the only ones in town, got it. We
went kayaking and just like we were having some high
nudes hit hitting just right, and he literally we were
we were pulling up on a bank because my girlfriend

(01:00:43):
wanted to get a picture, and so he's pulling us
up on the bank. Ker and I are both in
our kayaks and he's literally pulling us up on this
bank right like an embankment, I don't know what they called. Yeah,
and he just kind of looks at me. He's like, hey,
you wanna be my girlfriend? And I was like and
I kind of giggle because I was like he's serious
or he drunk right now? And then I was like,

(01:01:03):
yeah I do. He's like, Okay, cool, and then we
just moved on. That was it, and Jillian, Jillian, he
was like, my girlfriend, that was take a picture to
commemorate the moment where he asked you to be the girlfriend.
We did take a picture for that. Yeah, that's why
we did take a picture. But my girlfriend literally looked
at me. She's like, did that just happen? And I
was She was freaking out more than me. But honestly, like,

(01:01:27):
that's again because I am in this new relationship. I
all of my past relationships were so up and down.
Everything was super great or super bad, right, and this
one is just always good and so like everything like that,
even when it's a big deal or if it's not,
it's just very like that just happened, that's it. Yeah,

(01:01:47):
very matter of fact, which I love. I didn't even
know that that was possible. So that was the casual
yea of asking me out. Okay, so we asked you out?
And then how much longer down the road does he
say I love you? I think so Okay. So the
timeline we started casually dating in February, didn't officially start
dating until Memorial Weekend, and then it was in late

(01:02:12):
summer that he said I love you. Okay, So we
didn't keep going well. So again another casual situation we were.
I was actually like I think I was putting up
my dishes from dinner or something, and he's like, hey,
can you can you come over here? And he was
sitting on the couch and you're thinking he's about to
propose and no, I'm like, why is he? Are we

(01:02:34):
gonna break up this cool short's relationship I've ever had,
and he's and I just come and sit next to
him and he's like, I love you. Don't make it
a big deal. And then that was and I just
started laughing. I was like, I love you too. He
went back and put the dishes everything, so like matter
of fact, but like so much of it is that

(01:02:57):
for him and for me, it's just so different. We're
just not both of us are not used to what
is happening right now, If that makes sense. I totally
get it. I totally understand what you're saying. And it's
totally weird and it's totally awkward, and I'm just it's
just interesting. It's interesting that you're doing dishes and he says, hey,

(01:03:17):
will you come over here? Like it wasn't like in
a moment like under the stars or watching the sunset
or something like that, like he looks in your eyes,
it's hey, can you come over and sit on the
couch for a minute? All right? I love you. I
don't think anything actually happens like that. Besides in the movies,
how did you tell your wife you loved her for
the first time? I have no idea, you see, I

(01:03:38):
don't even remember, Like you will not remember that if
you stay together for five years. Yeah, see, you don't remember.
I have no idea. No, do you remember how you
asked her to be your girlfriend officially? Yeah? How did
that happen? So we're kind of dating and we're going

(01:03:58):
to a concert with another couple, and we went out
to dinner and the she went to the bathroom and
they were like, so you guys like official yet, Like
are you guys boyfriend girlfriend? And I was like no, no,
we haven't done that yet. They're like, okay, good, and
I was like yeah, but don't bring it up. I'm
like okay. She sat back down and my friend goes, hey, so,

(01:04:20):
why aren't you lunch his girlfriend yet? That was it.
You're even more casual than mine. I didn't even bring
it up. Dinner was brought it up, and so were you? Like?
What did she say? She was like I don't know.
And then you were like, hey, you want to be
my girlfriend? I was like, I guess you're my girlfriend.

(01:04:41):
He didn't even ask her. It sumed, Yeah, you're sitting
here over here on my casual and weird and you're like, hey,
I guess you're my girlfriend. I mean, I think I
think that my friend. Our friend said well would you
be and she was like well yeah, and I was like,

(01:05:03):
I guess you're my girlfriend. Then I don't ever want
to hear you giving me a hard time. You're even
more casual than mine. I mean, and when my doing
it was there doing? What are you going to ask her?
At some point? I don't. I didn't know you get
to ask them when you just assumed. I mean, when
you're just dating them, you know that they're you're you're Chad.

(01:05:24):
You have to mark the exclusive and wait. In middle school, yes,
it's still there, like you're you're still dating other people
up until you are official. Now, we weren't dating other
people at that point. So how long had you guys
been together? Hell? I know, God, you ask these questions like,
I mean, I have three kids. Do you understand that
that stuff? I can there's no whack remember, Okay, Well,

(01:05:47):
I'm just saying, I mean, this is more casual than
I mean. I know that she spent the night in
my hotel room the first night I met her. I
know that, of course, dudes, that's that's what you're thinking
about more than anything else. She probably remembers all of
these things. No, I bet she does. You should ask
her to call her? Call her right now, I'd ask her, Okay,
I just like, I just am like, I'm laughing really

(01:06:09):
hard because you were giving me a hard time about
my casual But yours is if she remembers you asking
to be your girlfriend? And how long is that? How
long you guys were dating? Do you want me to
ask her about that I love you? Yes? And the
I love you hi question for you. I'm on Morgan's
podcast right now, okay, And she wants to know when

(01:06:31):
the first time I said I love you? Where can
the details were waiting? It's happening right now. She's laughing
because I don't know if she remembers either. She has
no idea. Thank you. That's all. Okay, Wait, one more
one more thing. Does she know how long you guys
were dating before you became official? And do you do

(01:06:53):
you know how long we were dating before we became official? Oh,
I'm getting the dead on this one. She said like
three months. See she remembers, Okay, but she doesn't remember them. Okay,
tell her thank you for me. She goes, I'll think
about it and then I'll remember. Okay, tell her, tell
her thank you for me, thank you from from Morgan. Bye. See.

(01:07:19):
I told you she would at least remember some of that.
We tend to remember, like small details. No, but that's funny. Yeah,
oh man, that's it. But let's get into this because
this is so hot, this this, this next second. Can
you just please for me admit that yours was more
casual than mine because it was well yeah, I mean
I didn't say mine wasn't casual. I'm just saying at least,

(01:07:41):
but hey, my first time when he asked me to
be his a girlfriend, we were on a river and
it was super like cool romantic, right, that's chill. We
were in a booth at a Mexican food restaurant. Yes,
and when I when when we said I love you,
we were on a couch, just us too, and it
was you know, we had a candle going. Oh, there
you go, that's good. Yeah, we're watching a movie. No,
you were doing the dishes. Well I was putting my

(01:08:02):
dishes up. But we were watching a movie. Okay, So whatever, whatever,
love is, love is love. I'm just glad you're in love.
Just admit it. Say it. Say it. You're in love. No,
you're love. I am in love. But did you say
it was more Yours was more casual? Mine was more
of a casual conversation. Who and I will admit I

(01:08:24):
am in love. Okay, there you go. Something that get
into the hot takes of what happened. And I will
just make this comment right now, whatever your opinion is
on this topic. Him and I have a great relationship.
He's a great man and I have no no bad
things to say. Even No, I totally got trolled on

(01:08:44):
the show this week. Number three Morgan, how long have
you been dating your boyfriend? Oh gosh, officially it's been
about six months. And I've been told that you're not
inviting him to your family Thanksgiving. No, I'm not going
home for Thanksgiving? Are you going to his family Thanksgiving? No?
I'm not where. What was that was? That's awkward. No,

(01:09:10):
it's not awkward. It's just him and I have both
had some really bad past relationships, and we introduced him
to family too soon, and so we're taking things really slow.
Is that a red flag? No, not to me at all.
I mean, because we're doing what's best for us, and
so that to me is like the best thing we
could both be doing. Who brought up that you shouldn't

(01:09:30):
go to his family's Thanksgiving? We did? We like collectively,
like we started talking about holidays because we'd be traveling,
and it was just kind of a collective conversation and
we were just like, yeah, both of us felt the
same way, which was really cool. That doesn't normally happen.
I get it. I love the maturity, but somebody had
to say it first, and that's tough, Like you didn't
both say it at the same time, Like one, two, three,

(01:09:50):
I don't want to go to Thanksgiving? You know what?
Did you go? Hey, I think it's probably best for
me not to go. Well, I mean I brought up
that I wasn't going home, so that naturally brought up
a conversation and he and then he just kind of
reiterated that he felt the same way. So I guess
you would say it with me, But hold on, I'm confused.
Is he going home? Yeah, but he only lives like
two hours away. Okay, but so he's going home, so

(01:10:13):
that's not him feeling that You're like not going home,
so you don't even have the opportunity to invite him
because you're not going. Yes, but I'm going home. I'm
asking right, right. That's why I'm clarifying, because she said
that when she brought it up, that naturally led to
them feeling the same way. But I'm like, well it's different.

(01:10:34):
So there the conversation had to be bigger, which is
I love that y'all are making the best decision for you.
But at some point he had to say I'm going
and I am not inviting you. Yeah. I mean I
didn't like come out that way. I guess I just
didn't even like think about it that way because I
was already in the mindset that we weren't doing that, okay,
Like I don't know, we just he was just like, yeah,

(01:10:56):
I just you know, I've brought a girl home and
it was not great. We obviously didn't work count and
I don't want to do that with you. Okay, does
it make you think that like there's something at home
because double life, double life, that's but there's something at home?
Like no, no, but I agree, like hold off, I
used to go to I went one time, I went
to Thanksgiving after I was with someone for like two

(01:11:17):
weeks and we broke up. Yes, No, I mean there
is stuff at home, but it's not anything that he
hasn't told me. Right, there's a lot there, like his
wife and kids aren't gonna be there. No, no, And
I completely like, I appreciate it what you guys are doing.
I think it's supermature, but just allow me to semi

(01:11:38):
pride that you have been together six months and that
does seem a significant amount of time that would allow
this to happen. Is there an amount of time like Christmas?
Will you guys do that at all? No? I for
me at this point and where we both are, it'll
be after a year that will be the laughing man.
It seems like he is he is doing a good

(01:11:59):
job of avoiding the holidays, like it's her idea. So
he's trying to say, oh, yeah, I don't want you
because he doesn't want it. He thinks that's too serious,
so he's pushing her away, like, yeah, I can keep
this chick around and I don't have to get serious
around the holidays. It's perfect response. I mean, he can
think what he wants where. You know, he stays with
me practically all the time, so it's not like it's
not getting serious. It's just a matter of holidays. We've

(01:12:20):
had some bad experiences and past relationships, and so now
we're making sure to not do that again because this
is a good relationship. Okay, I've pulled this story from
a dating and marriage expert. Five important relationship questions before
inviting anyone home for the holidays. Okay, I'm reading this.
This is this is I'm just reading it right now.

(01:12:41):
I haven't read the story yet. Number one, how long
have you been dating? Question Mark Morgan. You say six months? Yes,
six months. They say anything less than four months probably
you should hold off. So that's ish. She's in that window. Yeah,
that's that's I mean that window. It's got to be
really big. That's in the window. Ish. Okay. Number two,
how committed are you? We're going to answer that question

(01:13:03):
for me. How committed are you? I mean, I gosh,
that's like kind of a loaded question. I see myself
with him in the future, but like, you're not dating others? Yeah,
I'm not no for you to do your vowels right now.
I'm just saying, are you guys only committed to each other? Yes,
we're in a mutually exclusive relationship. They say, if you're

(01:13:23):
only casually dating, or if you're seeing more than one
person at a time, don't bring any one home. Okay,
that that doesn't Okay, that doesn't affect you, guys. That next,
are they really serious about you? Is he serious about you? Morgan? Yeah,
we're serious about each other. We've said I love you
like it's serious. You are children, Okay, are doing again?

(01:14:04):
People are going to think their radios are broken. Okay,
hold on, hold on. I'm just a little thrown right now.
If you're throwing out the L word but you're not
inviting him, or you're not going to Thanksgiving dinner, I mean, yeah, listen,
it's just for me. It's traveling all the way back
home for a week and spending time there, you know,
over Christians though that's two hours. For his it's a

(01:14:27):
lot more complicated, very complicated life at home. So for him,
it brings in this whole level that he's just not
quite ready for that to happen yet. Yeah, it's complicated again,
like wife and kids complicated. No, no family, like a
close family. Okay, I can see this, and I think
that right we don't we obviously we there's a lot

(01:14:48):
of gaps in this story that we don't know, so
we can't Bobby you. You would, I think you would
understand where he's coming from. I even appreciate what Morgan
is doing. Yeah, I just think as a person who
doesn't know anything about it, I just have questions and
she's answering them and the Jerry will find her not guilty.
I can tell you that right now. So yeah, I
feel good about it. I'm glad she's doing it. But

(01:15:09):
still if she throws out the L word the news buzzer,
listen and I will. I will even mention that he
said I love you first? Did you say it right back, Morgan? Yes,
I did, but he said it, but right away you

(01:15:31):
just didn't. Did it stun you? Um? No? I mean
he's kind of this person that's very guarded, so kind
of how it happened was funny. He was like, hey,
I need to tell you something. I was like, okay,
what I was like? He was like, I love you,
but please don't make a big deal out of it.
And I was like, Okay, how do you want me
to respond to that? I love you too? And he's like, yeah,
that works. Okay, indeed, that's done. Well, let me go ahead. Amy.

(01:15:54):
Then was that um felt like two months ago? Yeah?
So at the four months mark? Yeah, wow, that is quick. Okay,
here's what I'm going to say. I can appreciate why
you guys have made this extremely mature decision. I don't
think he has a wife and kids. I don't think

(01:16:16):
I'm just throwing it out there because our audience is going, oh,
what's the deal, what's the situation. I enjoy your story,
your love story, and I hope that it lasts a
long time slash forever. And thank you for your time, Morgan,
Thanks for asking me questions. I do feel like I
was in court today. Oh good guy, Amy, Are we good? Yeah?

(01:16:39):
I mean we're good. I just feel like, if he's listening,
you know, he's like, oh my gosh. I think Morgan
was extremely respectful and other than the news sounder and
the screaming kid, in the background. I think this is
a pretty mature conversation. Well yeah, other than now it
got thrown out there that he might have to be
living a double life and has a wife and kids.
But Morgan promised he doesn't. He know, he does not.

(01:17:01):
He's very trustworthy man. Okay, okay, it's the best bits
of the week with Morgan. Number two. This week we
found out where Bobby has been. Well we've known, but
you guys got to hear some of the details, not
all of it because he can't quite share it all yet,

(01:17:22):
but you guys will find out why he had to
spend Thanksgiving in a hotel room and you know he's
out of the country. I mean, what's happening. He gets
some of those details right now. Number two, you know
something that's been happening in my life, and I can't
say a whole lot about it, but I am currently
doing the show from a hotel room somewhere in Central America.

(01:17:45):
I've never been in Still America before. I'm not even
gonna say really what country I'm in right now, but
it has been an experience unlike anything I've ever had,
and soon I will too reveal it. But I tell
you The hardest thing is speaking Spanish to people, because
I don't know Spanish very well, and I feel like
when I try to speak Spanish that they think I'm
kidding with them, or I'm or I'm insulting them in

(01:18:06):
some way. But here, here are the words that I
have down he ready amy, yep, Grassius like, and it's
I could sit with you and recall Spanish words, but
when people are talking to you in conversation, you're like, oh, no,
pressures on, pressure's on, and so a lot of times
I just say it in the English real slow. But Grassius,
I have bonios, banios bathroom by yeah, bathroom yeah, I

(01:18:30):
nail that all point and go banyos and they'll go yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not great at C yet see yes, because the
questions are so quick, and I'm like yes, I'm like,
oh crap, I should have said see, like I haven't
quite got C yet. But but by I, in my experience,
I feel like you see if you do see, you

(01:18:51):
say it like yes, yes, like C C C. I know,
but I just go yeah and then they understand what
I'm saying, and then I go see, but I've already
said yes, okay, and so luckily for us when we
went through the airport, because we were bringing all of
our radio equipment, and one of the boxes that we
had to bring was one hundred pounds and it looks
like it could be something suspicious because there are chords
and cables and there's a timer on it, and it

(01:19:12):
goes there's a lot of stuff happening in this box. Yes,
And so we fly into this Central American country. Thank
god Mike D speak Spanish, because they pull us to
the side immediately and they're like, let me see what's
in those boxes. And here I am as goofy and
as pale as could be. You know, I'm not a
local to the area. And Mike D walks up and

(01:19:34):
it's just speak in Spanish like it's his normal language,
and all of a sudden she's like, oh okay, cool, cool,
cool cool, Oh okay, media radio, no problem, go ahead
and take that through. Otherwise I'd have been in Central
American prison for doing nothing. I wou'd have been like
c they'd been like, is it a bomb? Seen? It
have been over. But I am in a hotel near

(01:19:54):
an airport in Central America. I spend a lot of
my days in the jungle, and I will be here
for a little bit of time, for longer than I've
ever been away doing a show. So it's exciting. I'm
tired because we stay in the jungle all day. I
did see a monkey in a tree at one point,

(01:20:15):
and I, yeah, in a tree. I was just walking
in there was a monkey above me in a tree,
and I put it on my Instagram story and I
was like, that's a monkey in a tree. I could
not believe it. I saw a Kimodo dragging cross on
the road and I was telling my idea about I
was like, there's a Kimodo dragon and Mike Degos, No,
that's an iguana. I was like, that still cool. You know,
I'm worried about you being in Central American jungles with

(01:20:38):
all the cartels. Are you well? No? Okay, is your
microphone on? Mike Let Mike turn is on. Mike has
been kind of my tour guide. But he's never been
here either. No, I never been here. Should I worry
about the cartel? No? Not around here? Not here? Okay? Well,
I don't know. I just when I watched documentaries, they're

(01:20:58):
always in like Troll America, South America, they're in the jungles,
they hide deep within. You have no like, you have
no idea. And then there's these like intense operations like
deep into the Jungle, totally hidden and camera. Now I'm scared.
I didn't. I wasn't scared at all now and Amy's
got me freaked out. And the Central American country, yeah,
weren't a safe Central American cut. Although I did offer Mike.

(01:21:20):
I said, hey, man, I offer you some pretty good
money if you drive all the way home, because he'd
have to drive through like, uh, Guatemala, what no Honduras,
Nicaragua in Mexico and he didn't want to do it.
Was taken him about two and a half days, would
make the dry. I was like, dude, this would be
the greatest Instagram story follow on the show Instagram. But

(01:21:41):
he did not want to do it. But we feel good.
We're here. We've got friends staying at our house. Everybody's
gonna ask what's happened with the dogs. Um, we have
friends staying at our house with the dogs, multiple friends.
So we're all good there and I'm just trying to
come out of here live and that's all. And so
if you see my Instagram or my Instagram story and
it shows me in the jungle, shows my boots. That's

(01:22:01):
where I am. I'm in a jungle in Central America
right now. I've never been anywhere like this before, have
you mind? Noh, Mexico? Is it like this? Similar? Yeah?
Similar vibes. Any questions you guys have, Amy, Well, I
mean I asked my most concerning question. But when will
we be able to know more about what you're doing?
I have no idea. Okay, I think probably in the

(01:22:22):
next couple of months after the new year. Maybe, Okay.
I mean that's if I live, that's if I come
back alive. Eddie. Anything you want to know, Well, I
am so fascinated that the fact that you saw a monkey,
So I want to know more about the tree, Eddie.
In a tree, That's what I'm saying. Walking and I
hear and I'm like, they said, there are monkeys around here.

(01:22:43):
I look at the monkeys in a tree like twelve
feet above me, just chilling. My mind was blown. We
live in a in a land where squirrels are like everywhere,
and if you, if you spend enough time, you can
probably feed a squirrel. Is there any chance you can
feed a monkey while you're there. I don't want to
feed a monkey. I'm good. I got a picture. They
do have these rats down here that look like squirrels,
and it's some like hybrid squirrel rat and it was

(01:23:05):
running around. I was like, is that is that a
natural animal here? They're like, yeah, it looks like a rat,
but it's acts more like a squirrel. Oh so no,
because it looks like a rat. Yeah, lunchbox. Anything you
want to know, yeah, I just want to know how
the locals are treating you. Are they Are they really
nice to you? Are they welcome in? Hey, come on
and have some dinner. Is it kind of like they
stay away from you? They're extremely nice. Everybody here is

(01:23:27):
wildly kind to where I was really nervous even be
on the roads because what do I know. I don't
know anything about being in this area of the world,
and everyone's like, no, it's super safe. It's like an
extremely safe part of a country. I don't know that
the whole country is as safe, but where we are,
I feel like it's pretty safe. Ohop, yeah, go ahead.
Do they have real roads or is it dirt roads?

(01:23:48):
They have real roads, but they're thin and we are
on dirt roads a lot, because you know, after you
get off the main highway, the roads aren't that great.
So I'm carsick a lot traveling around. But that's why
you have right now. I'm just letting everybody know full disclosure.
If you see me watching the Bobby Bone Show Instagram
page or Facebook page, I'm not in the studio for

(01:24:09):
a couple of weeks. I won't be in the studio
because we're doing this here. We will spend Thanksgiving in
a hotel room, so which kind of stinks. But I'm
pretty pumped about what's happening. So that's all. Thank you guys. Amy,
thanks for scaring the crap out of me, which I
wasn't thinking about. Now when I'm in a jungle alone,
I'm just waiting for aybody to come through in their
jeeps with guns bad. It's the best Bits of the

(01:24:31):
Week with Morgan number two. Contrary to what Lunchbox thought
would be in the number one spot, this is what's
in the number one spot because it's super exciting for
Amy and her family. Amy's daughter got baptized and Amy
shared the really emotional, cool story and how it all
went down. So we're really happy for what old lunchbox
is throwing his hand on the air. Look, I know

(01:24:53):
this is one we're supposed to commentate on, but her
getting baptized gets number one. My son being born it's
number two. It's all based on what else is happening
the way. I'm just saying, I am very happy that
she got baptized. Congratulations. But boy, oh boy, I mean wow, listen,

(01:25:15):
if that shot didn't happen that week, you would have
been at number one. No, no, that's okay. I'm just
I'm very happy for Amy's daughter. That's all about the week.
My MIC's off. Oh man, Okay, well here you guys
got sour dude over here. But here's a great emotional,
heartwarming story. Number one. Amy, how was your weekend? I mean,

(01:25:35):
I had a great weekend, but I would say the
highlight of it is, for sure, Stashia getting baptized yesterday.
How long have you guys been planning that? Well, she decided.
I mean we've been talking about it for several months now,
but she decided earlier in the week. Like, we got
a call from the youth pastor. They only have baptisms
every so often, and he gave us a heads up
because they knew she was considering it last time, and

(01:25:56):
he said, heads up, Sunday's baptism Sunday. You know, if
she wants to do it, I can meet with her
youth group on Wednesday night about it. So she went
to youth group on Wednesday night and then decided basically
Wednesday Thursday that she was going to do it. So
not a lot of notice. I got baptized when I
was twelve, and I was convinced because I went to
church camp and then I came back and I was like,

(01:26:16):
I'm ready to get baptized. And so I was convinced
as I was getting baptized and my preacher was trying
to drown me because I think he held me under
longer than he did other other people. Oh, because I
swear to you, you know it's weird because he got
I was a small twelve year old too, so I
was pretty easy to to, you know, push him, pull
around into that water. But he put his hand under
my head. I remember it. He said hold your nose,

(01:26:39):
and I'm holding my nose and I go down and
I start to go like twitch my shoulders because I'm
convinced he's trying to drown me in front of the home.
I was down there for like six seconds, which is
a little too long, wouldn't we agree? Yes, well, I
mean it's long. Did he did you need to be cleansed? Well,
that's what I wondered extreme on. I'm kidding. I don't know.

(01:27:01):
I also think he may have forgotten about me, like
he's doing that and he's like looking at the service
and it's like, oh crap, I gotta bring this kid up.
But I remember being under there for far longer than
the because I think they were like six of us
that was baptized at the same time in church. But
that's awesome. Congratulations are tell her? I said, that's that's amazing.
I definitely will. I was telling her when I got baptized.

(01:27:23):
I sang the same day I got baptized, and I
was like, oh you you sang, yeah, yes, because you
sang at church. Yeah, I sang. I need you. Lord.
You're all I do. You're always there seeing me through.
You light my way and heave me out of the dark.
It's called the Lord has a will. The Lord has
a will, and I haven't. Is it a solo? Oh? Yeah? Me?

(01:27:46):
And oh boy, I remember one of the other youth
group girls. Her dad played guitar, and I had my
own song performance at my baptist I don't know why
my church allowed such things, but I did. Yes. Stashiara

(01:28:07):
kind of gave me the same look because I hadn't
thought about that in a while. But of course it
brought back all the memories and I was like, you know,
on my baptism I sang and she was like, oh, Mom,
I'm embarrassed for you. Yeah. I think we're like that too.
Oh Amy, It's the best bits of the week with
Morgan number two. Thank you all so much for hanging
