Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
We've got a week. Hello. Hello, Hello, it's Morgan. Welcome
to the Best Bits of the Week. In case you're
a first time listener, what I do each weekend is
I take the best seven segments from the show this week,

(00:22):
and I count them down. Those seven segments are based
on your engagement online, what you called in about, if
you really had an opinion. Basically, these are the seven
best moments that we want you to relive over and
over again and along the way, I typically bring somebody
with me. This week, I'm bringing on Hillary. Some of
you might have heard her named Utility Hillary. For me,

(00:44):
she's just Hillary. She's one of my really good friends. Hillary.
Welcome for hanging out with me. Hi, thank you for
having me. So we're gonna get into this. But you're
gonna get to know Hillary along the way, and we'll
talk about the segments. It's going to be super fun.
So let's get started. This one brought a lie of
engagement online. Lunchbox got offended at a restaurant. Now some

(01:04):
would say he was being a little too sensitive and
others say he was right on point, But all that
said and done, he also tipped the waitress less because
of the interaction. So this whole bit really served you
guys up online. But I want to hear from Hillary
to find out she's ever been offended at a restaurant
or maybe just in public. Yes, I actually have. I

(01:25):
was thinking about it and I was at a store
with my mom. I was at Sam's. My mom was
with me, my aunt and my sister, and I was
trying on rain jackets and this lady, random lady, she
didn't work there. We were minding her own business. She
walked by and she's standing there and she's staring at
me trying on these jackets. And I tried one on
and it fit great, like it was perfect, and she's like,

(01:48):
I think you need to size up. No, yes, my
mom looked at me, and my mom's eyes got huge,
and I just looked at my mom and I was
like it was we just froze. I'm like, what do
I say? What do we do? And my sister's over
there like trying not to laugh, like this is so
uncomfortable and it was so awkward. But I was like

(02:11):
kind of offended because this lady who I don't know,
is just standing there staring at me trying on this
jacket and decides to tell me that I need a
size up. That is absolutely not kind of offensive. That
is a hundred percent offensive. I totally understand why you
got so upset, like I really do. Yeah, And that
happened when I was in high school and I still
remember that to this day. Oh See, people's words matter.

(02:35):
This is why you don't unless you have something overly
positive to say, and you were one hundred percent guaranteed
it as positive. Yes, you should not say it. You
should not say it. But do you have any moments? Yeah?
I mean I had a similar It was a body compliment.
Oh gosh, in his way, it was a compliment. But
I was at the gym and I'm just like working out,

(02:56):
minding my own business, and apparently I'm doing some like
tough workout because this guy comes up to me. He goes, oh,
you're getting thick, like it's looking good, And I'm like,
I don't care if you thought that was a compliment,
because in today's world, thick is necessarily a compliment to
most people, right, Yeah, it's not to me. For whatever reason,
I just don't like the terminology. But also, why are

(03:17):
you coming up to me? You don't even know what
I'm trying to do. Maybe I'm trying to lose weight,
maybe I am trying to put on muscle. I don't know.
But why are you complimenting me on it? I don't
I don't want what you have to say about anything.
It's so awkward. And I had somebody make that comment
to me and when I was talking to one of
my friends, so like, that's a compliment, And I said
to me, it's not a compliment. So you just should

(03:38):
not No matter if you're a man or a woman,
you should not comment on any body's body, like at all.
I feel like that should be common sense. But the
fact that we're both of our stories, we did not
share our stories with each other at all. We had
no idea this is where we were going to go
with this, and the fact that we both had body
image ones is crazy to me. Yes, and I just

(04:00):
feel like too, like we're in a world now that. Yes,
I understand people are very sensitive in things, but bodies
are just something you should just not comment on period. Yes,
we often talk about like not going up to a
pregnant woman asking her if she's pregnant, Like this goes
on that same line. Yes, you can change somebody's entire
demeanor if you go up to them and say something

(04:22):
that may not fit the narrative they have going on
in their head. I totally agree. And I struggle with
body image issues and it all stems from comments that
have been made to me. And I remember there was
an administrator at our school and she would constantly get
onto me for like, because let's I have big boobs.
I do like I've just I always have, and she

(04:44):
would always get onto me and be like, you need
to pull your camm up. I went to a private
Christian school. Or she would tell me like I can't
wear certain things, but other girls were allowed too, And
that has stuck with me. And I always feel so
self conscious about myself and it just I don't know,
like we remember things and it sticks with you. Yes,
that makes me so sad that you have stuck out

(05:05):
in your mind this entire life for you. I mean,
how old are you? Not? Right? Yeah? I'm twenty eight
and that was going on since eighth grade. Yeah, that's
stuck with you, so for over let's say close to
twenty years. Yeah. I I feel like I was taught
to be ashamed of my body, which I know is
kind of odd to say, but it may have been you.

(05:28):
It was one of my friends like made me realize that,
and I can't remember who it was. For some reason,
I woul't think it was you, But we were talking
about that because obviously we're friends outside of the show,
so we talked about a ton of things, but it
was one of those things where I was talking about
it and I'd never thought about it, and my friend
was like, I feel like you were kind of taught
to be ashamed of your body and being curvy, and

(05:50):
you were taught that that's a bad thing and that
you can't wear certain things because you look like that,
and it's so true. I've never thought about it, but
I was. And that's why I think I struggle so
much with my body. I want to wear like sweaters
and baggy sweatshirts and things like that. I don't like
anything tight on me because I was kind of taught
that that was not okay. Well, unlet's just say here.

(06:13):
You know, wearing baggy and sweatshirts and sweats are awesome,
and you should totally wear that if you want to,
but you should also feel confident that you can wear
the other stuff because really The only person that should
have anything to say about your body as you and
as long as you feel good and whatever you're wearing,
that's all that matters. Yeah, and I totally agree with you,
and I thankfully I'm in a good place where I

(06:33):
have good friends like you who encourage me and are
just there for me. So yeah, I'm in a better
headspace style than I was when I was in eighth grade. Well,
we'll leave it on this note too. Just your words matter,
whether you say them in person, whether you say them online,
however you share them. Just make sure what you're putting
out into the universe is very positive. And if you

(06:56):
can't be one hundred percent sure that it is positive,
you just shouldn't say it. Now, go back to the
golden rule. Oh, I gotta remember this. If you don't
have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Yes?
Is that the yes? Okay? Yes, I believe it was
one of our golden rules. And it was one of
the golden rules. If that's not the main one, it's
one of them. Yes, we're leaving it on that your

(07:17):
words matter. But you know here, listen how lunchbox got offended.
I'm not gonna lie I you know, I'm kind of
on his side. I wouldn't have tipped the waitress less
because I always tip twenty percent over no matter what.
That's just what I do. But I understand why he
got offended. Number seven. Okay, Lunchblox. What happened? So my
wife and I decided to go eat somewhere eat on

(07:37):
a patio. We go up to the register, We order,
and we look at the menu and my wife decides, man,
I'm really craving a burger. She orders a burger and
I'm like, man, that summer salad with strawberries and grilled
chicken sounds really good. So I order the grilled chicken
summer salad. Boom. We go sit down waiting for our meal,
and the lady brings it out and she takes the

(07:58):
burger and she puts it in front to me and
puts the salad in front of my wife. And I
was like, oh, actually I'm the one that has the salad.
She goes, oh, I just assumed the man ordered the
burger and she flipped him right there. That's why she
got tip less, because she gave me the burger and
my wife the salad, and I was offended. Who is

(08:19):
your wife offended or just you well, what does that matter?
Why can't you know? Because I'm genuinely curious if his
wife was offended because as a woman, I mean I
could see where there's like a little like okay, whoa
why why are you trying to say I need the salad?
I would say, as a server who served for a
long time, you start to go, well, ninety five percent
of the time, this is where this goes. This is

(08:40):
a person who orders it, and it's probably just muscle
memory with them because they've had a thousand orders and
ninety eight them are that. I don't think you hold
that against her. I don't think she's doing it based
on what you look like, wow, what size you are,
other than it's a girl or a guy. It was
a girl, okay. So again I just assumed that because
most of my servers are female, that's it. We did
a story where the other day where I was like, hey,

(09:01):
this teacher and I said, you know she and might
goes now it's the guy. Just because most of my
teachers were female. Teachers were women, correct, So I think
that we live our life based on what we've learned.
She has probably had ten thousand of those orders like that,
and most of them that's exactly what it was. I
don't think you should have punished her for that. Yeah. See,
everybody always says, don't make up assumptions because it makes uh.

(09:24):
But everybody makes assumptions all the time, right, I know.
But what she did was she she assigned what we
are supposed to eat to us, And so I had
to teach her that, listen, you shouldn't do that just
telling her then by keeping the money the same if
the service was good, well no, no, just telling words,
that's okay. Actions speak louder than words, is what I've
been taught in my life. And so my action was

(09:46):
to deduct some from the tip. So she understood that, hey,
you can't just assume that someone is eating a salad
and someone's You could offend somebody. And so I had
to stand up for the people of America. And next time,
I bet you she won't make that mistake. And everybody
from here and forward it is served by her. Well,
have her come and be like, who had the burger?
Why don't you just have a reason to tip? Or less?

(10:06):
No I want to tip. No, I'm not looking for
deductions when things happen, you have to deduct things. I
love the fact that Lunchbox is a deduction guy, where
he's like every little thing, he's like, mins dollar, that's
not do eddie. Didn't you know somebody who did that
with money? My friend's dad. He would put five dollar
bills on the table, and then whenever they would mess
up anything in the order, he would be like, all right,
well one lass, are you crazy? I've never seen anything

(10:29):
like that. Embarrassing. Listen. I mean you should be on
my side. This is me. This is me saying, listen,
women can eat a burger and it's okay. Yeah. I
think she probably eats burgers. I think she's just done
it so many times. It was an honest mistake. Drive
to work the same way every day. Don't you even
thinking about it? Yes? Or no? Do you think about
every turn you're making? Like I got a turn here,
I have to turn left here? No? You do that?
Won't you do the same thing so many times? If

(10:50):
they're unless such a construction, you got the same way
without thinking about it. You're right right? But Lunchbox, does
she know that that's the reason why she got that tip?
Maybe she just thinks you're a lousy tipper, and she
learned nothing like unless you, I know, you were like
minimizing the whole words thing and money speaks louder, but
unless you verbalize in a really thoughtful way, like, Hey,

(11:11):
you know, my wife and I were cool with this,
but that might actually or I guess you're not. You're offended.
Share with her. Hey, look that really offended me, and
then maybe it'll change how she does things in the future.
But you deducting her money? Did you tell her? I
tell her I actually I got the salad. But did
you tell her why you tip less? No? I didn't
tell her that. Did she learn nothing except you're a
crabby tiple except the guy with the front mulet it's

(11:32):
a crabby Next time you and your wife walk in,
she's gonna be like, please don't come to my table,
Please don't come to my section. But you guys are
on my side. No's on my side, No, no backup.
I it sucks, Yes that she was made that assumption,
but yes, like probably by the numbers, women do end

(11:52):
up getting known more for salads. But I love that
your wife was getting the burger, and I don't like
that she did that And set it out out loud
to y'all and hopefully shouldn't make anybody feel uncomfortable. Like
your wife, I really don't said it out loud. It's
just going, here's the burger for you. Here's She didn't yeah,
but she said no. He said that. She said, oh,
I assume yeah. Then she said I said, actually I
got the time. She goes, oh, I just assumed the

(12:13):
guy got the burger. She did say that yeah to me,
And so then I was like, well, you know, okay, listen,
I don't agree with what you did me neither Eddie.
He says the most vile thing sometimes and people get offended.
He's like a stupid get offended that. I do think
it was a learning opportunity, but you taught nothing because
you just deducted pay and said nothing. I think he

(12:34):
was just looking to get a cheaper way out and
he did. Yeah. She didn't have enough pep in her
step when she's bringing our food. It took a dollar off.
You guys can call us if you want. Eight seven
seven seventy seven, Bobby, does anyone agree with lunchbox? By
the way of the whole room, people behind the scenes
are not anybody. I agree, say I okay, Nico Jackson
does not counting Jackson doesn't not count your other personality

(12:57):
cannot chime in. It's the best bits of the week
with Morgan. Number two. This week, we had another fun
fact Friday off and I went up against Eddie and
I'm just gonna say I'm a little bitter because I
think I should have won this. Yeah, I gave something away,
but I'm pretty sure I should have won. You know,
there were some sympathy boats in here for Eddie. I

(13:19):
had some really good fun facts and I tried really hard,
and then Hettie just somehow came in and one. But
I'm not appreciative of that. I want Hillary to share
with us though, her favorite fun fact. You know, we
were talking about this and I have submitted this into
like the show, like with prep and it's never been
used before. Well it's getting used right now. It's getting

(13:40):
used right now. Did you know that the man who
does the Tony the Tiger voice is the same guy
who sang You're a mean one, mister Grinch? What? Yes, Okay, wait,
how does Tony the Tiger go? Okay? And they're a
mean one, mister Grench. His name is gonna probably butcher

(14:01):
this thorough Arthur Ravenscraft what So he's a giant tiger
and he's a giant green grinch. Yes, And I was
looking up his Wikipedia page and he has so many
other things that he's voiced. I feel like he did
stuff with Disney too, and I just like, I never
knew that was the same person. And it just blew

(14:22):
my mind the day that I found that out. I
love fun facts that blow your mind, like I really do. Yes,
And I know that you've had you had to list
like five the other day, But do you have any more?
I mean the other one that I didn't share that
I have off the top of my little nogg in
here is the fact about the penguins and the pebbles.
That isn't it penguins or is it otters? Hold on,

(14:44):
hold on, I'm looking at okay while I find my
other my favorite fun fact. Okay, for some reason, I
have me and you. I'm picturing both of us on
sixty five. You're driving in your jeep and you shared
this fact with me, and I think it was an order.
I know. I'm trying to think when I was like
appropriate for our friendship that I shared a random fun factor. Yeah,

(15:05):
we have the most random conversations, and this definitely sounds
like one that we've had, and I vaguely remember it,
but now I can't. Okay, well, and I can't even
find the fact now. But it's either penguins or otters,
and they carry like a pebble within their whole life,
and then they give it to their soulmate when they
find it. Okay, I think it was an otter. I

(15:29):
remember you talking about this one time, and I think
you told me it was an otter. Yeah, we're gonna
go with honor, because I don't think it's a penguin.
I think it's an honor. And I think they put
in their little pouch thing and they hold onto this
pebble their entire life, and then when they finally find
their soulmate, they give them their pebble. I think that's
the cutest thing. I should have used it. Maybe I
would have actually won. I know you would have won

(15:50):
over that all the people who are like, oh, you
would have done Amy over because she thinks things are released.
I mean I did win Amy over pretty much the
whole time. You did Eddie one by sympathy. Let's we're
just put that in the universe. Yeah, if I was
in there voting, Morgan would have gotten all my votes
and she would have won. Okay, Well, besides fun fact,
so I also the listeners don't know you super super well,

(16:11):
so I want you to share like some interesting things
about yourself. So I always hate this question because I'm like,
I don't feel like I'm that interesting of a person
because I never know what to say. So sitting here
like trying to think of things, and there's one thing
that it's really not fun. It's kind of odd and
very annoying to my friends, but something that I like

(16:32):
to do. If I'm watching a TV show. I don't
know why I do this, but I will always look
up the ending before I get to the last episode.
We could be sitting and watching a movie and Hillary's like,
I gotta figure out what's going on, Like, don't tell
any of us, do not look that up, and I
won't tell anybody. That's the thing. I'm like, why does
it annoy you? I don't tell you, But I don't

(16:52):
know if it's like an anxious thing or a curiosity thing.
I have no idea why I do it, but I
have to know, like, because I'm the type person. If
I'm watching a show and I love it, I will
stay up until like two am watching it. But I'm
so tired, I'm going to look it up and see
what happens so I can go to bed and know happens.
Ever been in time that you didn't look something up? Yes,

(17:15):
I'm sure there has been. I can't think of anything
off the top of my head, but I've been. Actually, Yes,
a show I was watching recently because one of my
friends challenged me to do it, and I can't think
of now what that show was called. I think it
was on Amazon. Wait, so it was really good. Watched

(17:36):
Avenger's Endgame when it came out. Did you look up
what happened before you went to that movie? Oh? No,
because I went day of So I mean, I know
some people could have posted spoilers, but there was no
way that you didn't. Okay, yeah, which I'm not going
to give a spoiler here, but I bawled my eyes
out in like during the movie. When I was driving home,

(18:00):
I was still crying in the cars. So I think too,
I like to mentally prepare for things, and I didn't
mentally prepare that that was going to be so sad,
and if I would have known that, I may not
have cried like I was crying. And the man next
to me was like, oh my gosh, you need to
like chill out. And Morgan Massengo is with me, and

(18:22):
she had to give me her napkins from her nachos
that she had been using, and I I was just
not okay. To be fair, it was very emotional. I
understand completely, but it does sound like you kind of
compartmentalize your emotions when it comes to movies and TV shows.
I guess I do feel like this is a therapy session.
This is also how you enjoy you are really obsessed

(18:43):
with like serial murder things. Oh my gosh, I am,
which you don't watch any crime shows, so I can't
come in and talk to Morgan about things. But I
have this weird Somebody told me I was strange for
saying this, because I don't mean I'm like super fast
in it, like I'm ever gonna do something to somebody
one day. But I do find it fascinating serial killers

(19:05):
how they get away with stuff for so long, and
I do like to find out what their motives are
or the types of people they go after because I
like to be aware of things, and so I feel
like watching that stuff and researching it. I'm learning stuff
for myself and how to be safe and what to
look around for in my surroundings and you know, make

(19:26):
sure your doors locked. And I sleep with a knife
under my bed now, Like, yeah, let me just point
out too. Then I'm a very paranoid person. I'm very
aware of my surroundings always. But Hillary is ten times
a paranoia that I am because she watches these shows. Yes,
should I tell my I've never shared this publicly what
I did in publics that one time. Do you remember,

(19:46):
Oh my gosh, yes, this is the best story. Okay,
I've never shared this. This happened like a month and
a half ago. So I was in publics and this
was right after we had an attempted kidnapping in Nashville.
It was a girl who was our age. She was
running attempted kidnapping. So I'm already like on edge and
after my serial Killer shows, like I am on edge,

(20:08):
but that really just set me off. So I'm in
the grocery store and I was looking at some sauces
and I noticed this girl next to me. The only
reason I noticed was because I was kind of taking
a few minutes and I turned to apologize to her,
and I noticed this man like lingering around, and I
thought it was a little odd, but I was like,
you know what, whatever, he was acting like he was
looking at a shelf and then he was looking back

(20:28):
at her, very odd. So I was like, okay, that's
kind of strange. Well, then I went down another aisle
and she was down that aisle and the man turned
down the aisle to follow her, so he was clearly
following her, and I was like, my girl, radar just
went off, and I was like, I have to help
this girl, like I need to tell her and make
sure she's aware. So that we were up at the

(20:50):
cash registers and he was carrying some flowers and he
was going to the register to get in line, and
she was in the bread aisle. So I go to
her and I said, hey, I just want to make
sure you're okay. And right at that moment, I realized
who she was. I recognized her. And we were wearing masks,
but I recognized her. And it's not like I could
walk away in that moment. I had to finish the conversation.

(21:10):
And I was like, I think that man is following you,
and she looked at me and she was like, oh, yeah,
like he's supposed to be he's my bodyguard. It was
Savannah Chrisley from Chrisly Knows Best, and she was like,
I have a stalker, and so that man's my bodyguard
and he's paid to follow me. And I felt so
bad and so embarrassed, and I was like, oh, I'm sorry, Okay,

(21:31):
I'm gonna go check out now. But to be totally fair,
had you not done that and you left and you
wouldn't have said anything to her, you would have thought
about it forever, yes, and wish you would have, so,
like it's always better safe than sorry. Yeah, And I'm
the person who like, will I want to make sure
but he's okay. So if I see a girl in trouble,
I'm gonna make sure she's okay. Like I don't want

(21:52):
something to happen because I will feel bad and I
will think about it. I'm thinking about something right now
that happened three years ago, and I still under if
that girl's okay. So I don't know. I just I'm
like that and I don't know if it's because of
my serial killer show obsession. But I mean, I'm not
going to say they relate because I'm not an expert
on anything, but I'm a feeling they relate, I think,

(22:14):
so for sure doesn't sound weird way. That's why I
won't watch them, because you know, when you live by yourself,
you're like, I don't want things to happen, and then
I'm freaked out, and then things happen and then you're like, yeah,
heighten security and for no reason. Yeah, I know. I've
like called the police before. I'man like I heard a noise,
there was something. Oh yeah, I call my parents and
I'm like, hey, I hear something and it doesn't sound good.

(22:37):
If my roommate's out of town, I sleep with our
bar stool in front of our door, which I have
an alarm, so I'm like, I don't know what the
bar stool is going to do, but it makes me
feel better. Oh and I thought I was bad. I
think I think you win. I think you take the
cake for the paranoia, but also being very aware of
everything in your life and for other people too, not
just myself aware, for other people very much. So well,

(22:59):
that was a fun story in a story that you
guys just heard for the first time that I heard
for a while and I thought it was amazing to embarrass.
I'm really glad you just shared that story. Yes, but
here is Eddie and I facing each other off or

Number two. I'm gonna go, Morgan. Number two kind of awful.
I guess you guys don't like cookies. No, but when
you go, did you know that seventy four million wings
will consumed on a Tuesday last February? Are you serious?
I don't know that. I don't know. What is that? Crazy? Yeah?

(24:26):
Who knows? Okay? Number four? All right, Morgan, you won
your next Okay, Well, we like to communicate by talking.
Lobsters have bladders on either side of their heads, so
the way they communicate with each other is by urinating
on each other out of their heads. Yep, if you
out of their heads, Yes, the more fun each other
buried the headline. All right, um, lobsters when they talk,

(24:48):
all right, think that's pretty cool, Eddie. So what do
these people celebrities that you know have in common? Jeff Bezos,
Rachel McAdams, Fred Durst, Sharon Stone, Jay Leno, Eel and
Pink Bones. Guess m they were all members of Creed. No,
they all worked at McDonald's at one point in their life.

(25:09):
Jeff worked McDonald's. Isn't that crazy? You probably took an order.
You probably gave Jeff Bez as your order. You didn't
even know it. I don't know why that, but still okay,
Seal Sharon Stone was working there. Dang, that's crazy. That's
a good McDonald's commercial, thank you. Wow. Okay, most fun
lobster's peeing out of their head or luxbox. Man, this

(25:30):
is a tough one. That beeing out the head made
me laugh. The McDonald's is cool, but I'm going to
peeing out the head amy. Yeah, I'm Morgan number two.
All right, I'm gonna go Morgan number two as well.
I can give me a sympathy vote there. You're just
we're just having fun with you. Alright. That's neat, but
it's fun back Friday. It's not neat back Friday. All right,
all right, here we go number three Morgan. Okay, we

(25:53):
all use toothbrush and toothpaste. There's a name for the
blob of toothpaste that sits on your toothbrush. Are you
ready for it? Yeah, it's called a nerdle Okay with
that dramatic Okay, the name is funny to me. And
now I'm going to be able to say that to

(26:13):
my kids, like, go nerdle up your toothbrush. Well, now
you're making it more fun. When you've kids up, Eddie.
All right, so we've all eaten eggos, right, So eggos
were invented in nineteen fifty three. They were called frozzles.
Do you know that? Because they were frozen waffles, so frozles.
But that didn't stick because the taste testers were like,

(26:35):
this taste more like eggs. Weird, let's call it egos.
Mine's still called a nerdle, by the way, So what's
the end of your fun fact that it was called frozle.
They named after eggs, Yeah, waffle, but it was named
after egg Yeah, but you call them eggos now because
this tastes more like goods. If we're just going my
fun frosle the nerdle. I think I like frosle as
a word. Listen, they're both are pretty dumb. I'm gonna

(26:56):
go with Eddie because I yeah, thank you, I need
a point. I mean, I'm pining with you. Laughed really
hard at that one, lunch bugs, you know what you
need on your alight. Go ahead, number two, Eddie. Your
second fun fact. Guys, blue whales they're humongous, but they

(27:17):
are so big that a human our size can swim
through their largest veins and arteries. We can swim through
their veins. Can you imagine swimming through a blue whale
to veins? That's how big? Why you old to think about? Yeah?
I know, and it's kind of fun. Huh. That made
me one of the most fun facts in a long time.
We can literally swim in a vein, yes, of a

(27:39):
blue whale. That's absolutely amazing, Thank you Morgan. All right, armadillos,
you see one across your street, don't try and shoot
it because their shells are bulletproof. A Texas man found
this out because he shot at an armadillo and it
ricocheted off the armadillo and hit him back. Oh my gosh,
I shot him with a baby Yes, sorry, Okay, we go.

(28:03):
That's a good ill like that one. Um, Amy, I
mean I'll vote for anyone. Yeah, I mean, maybe we'll
see what the last one. Vote with your heart here,
vote with my heart. Okay you really? We really want
to shoot an armadillo. No, I didn't know they're shooting
an armadillo. It's more fun to you than then the

(28:23):
bulletproof part than swimming in a wains as whale's vein.
As someone who also delivers fun, facts. The fun fact
is more so that the armadillo shell is bulletproof, Like
I had no idea not that, Not that I want
to shoot whale's vein. Yeah, you're swimming. It isn't the
whale's throat so narrow? Maybe humans can't even get through
the throat. I'm going you, lunchbox, it's not even close.

(28:48):
It's the veins. All right, We're going down to the
final fun fact for the championship. Here we go. Number one. Oh, guys,
you're gonna love this. The average fart travels at the
speed of seven miles per hour. That's fast, that's fun.
Come on, let's not have a very I just lost
the guys. Okay, high heels were actually made for men.

(29:14):
When high heels shoes first came into fashion in the
tenth century, they were intended for men. And it wasn't
even until the eighteenth century, oh, women started wearing them.
All right, fun fact off, Amy Morgan. See this is
give it to Eddie. Yeah, the fart travel seven miles

(29:39):
an hour. Did you know that, Amy? I did not.
I also didn't know high heels were in It comes
down to my vote. Come on, bones fart right, here's
the b I don't give it. I don't care about
high heels. I don't care that much about farts either,
but think about it, which minded a smile. More at
I gotta go Eddie. Ye next week he'll me facing

(30:00):
Raymundo and fun fact Dog. All right, play Eddie song.
Congratulations there is I feel good? Oh so good. It's
the best Bits of the Week with Morgan Number two.
This week on the show, Bobby got called out by
a listener. She had read in his book that he

(30:23):
was going to have specific person as his groomsman at
the wedding and as his best man. So that obviously
didn't happen because we learned that Eddie is his best
man now. So she called him out on it. It
was really funny, but he also explained why that happened,
why everything has changed in his life since writing his
first book. So this segments really cool. But before we

(30:44):
get into it, Hilary, have you ever been a bridesmaid?
I have? I think three times? Three times? Yeah? Have you?
That's a lot of I mean yeah, been a one
yeah twice for both my sisters. Oh yeah, one was
my sister and then the other two were my two
childhood best friends. A lot of people getting married. Yeah,
you're life. Oh, I mean this was like the last

(31:06):
time I was a bridesmaid, I think was like five
years ago. Did you ever experience any like Bridezilla moments? No,
Thank the Lord. My two friends and my sister. My
sister was so chill just about everything, and so are
both of my best friends. Like there was no there

(31:28):
was nothing. I mean one of my friends she would
get like upset about things, but not at us. Like
she got married in a church and they they wouldn't
allow her to have secular music, and so she was
kind of she was very upset about Please explain what
secular music. Oh, so secular music would be non Christian music, Like, okay,
so anything that isn't Yeah, so if it's not like

(31:49):
a hymn or you know, a Christian song, it's not
allowed to be played at this church. And she was
very upset about it, like she almost wanted to change venues.
But the reason she didn't was because her husband's parents
got married there, so it was kind of like a
thing for her husband. So what she ended up doing
is she walked down the aisle to an instrumental of

(32:12):
Beyonce song Halo and the church never knew. They didn't
know it's a technically a hymn if it's an instrumental, right,
I mean not really, but we'll go with it. I'm
like relating that, dear, and it doesn't even count. Yeah,
it's fine. Okay, So no bridezilla moments. But did you
learn anything from these weddings that you don't want to
have at yours? If I ever get married, you will

(32:37):
get married? Yeah, maybe one day. I mean a guy
to come along something I've learned. I feel like, just
relax and enjoy the day because there's so many things
that are out of your control. In that same wedding,
we were the bridesmaids. We were all sent down the
aisle at the wrong time. Like you know how the
groomsmen come out first and then you're supposed to walk down.

(32:59):
Oh no, we are sent out first, so that all
the groom's gonna come out and look at us, like
why I'll standing here? And the bride was like, oh
my gosh, like freaking out, not happy about it. But
that's something that's out of your control. And guess what,
the wedding was great and it was perfect, So I
feel like there's no need to be a bridezilla or
a groomzilla, because really the day is about you and
your husband getting married, and that's all it should be.

(33:21):
Your friends and family are there, you're having fun. So
I don't know. I've just learned that whatever's gonna happen
is going to happen, and you have no control. So
I don't know. That's so reminding yourself to stay in
the moment, hopefully, yes, stay at present, and don't worry
about the small things. Don't worry that you know, you
asked for white napkins and they gave you pink. Like

(33:43):
so when you do get married and we're gonna be
best friends in and you're not staying in the moment,
I'd be like, Hilary, I'm gonna play the zactly like
you told me you wanted to stay in the moment.
So here I am as your word. Man, this is
being recorded. Yeah, when the napkins are the wrong color
of Morgan's gonna be like Hillary, remember that one time
back at whatever today's date is in twenty twenty one

(34:03):
when you said this, But you know what, it's gonna
make you laugh and you'll smile and then you will
probably forget about it, so exactly, That's what I'm here for.
Totally agree, Okay, And we also have some really big
weddings coming up. We have Mike D's wedding and we
have Bobby's wedding. Are you like so excited? Are you nervous?
I'm so excited. Okay. I'm nervous about Mike D's because
I'm actually kind of in it. I'm reading the scripture

(34:26):
and I haven't been told what I'm reading yet, which
is fine, like it's gonna be no biggie, but I
am actually terrified. I haven't told him or his fiance
Kelsey this, but I'm terrified of like being in front
of people. Do you not like speaking in front of people?
I used to be great at it, but I had
one bad experience and so now I'm like, oh, it
stresses me out. So I really need to know Kelsey

(34:49):
what versus I'm reading so I can start practicing. But yeah,
I'm I'm really excited for both of them. More nervous
for Mike's because I'm actually having to get up in
front of people. Like even this morning, i was thinking,
because I'm trying to write what I'm gonna wear, and
I was thinking when I'm walking up there, what if
like my dress is tucked in my underwear, like my
hair's messed up in the back and I don't know

(35:10):
what that happened. I'll be there. Well, you're gonna have
to sit like right next to me, and when I
stand up, you just make sure. What if I have
like a sweat stain on the back of my dress.
You I've I thought about all this this morning. So
I'm just nervous about being in front of people and
they're just being something wrong. I because you can't mess
up the word of God, Like that's just not okay.
You can't. You can't mess it up. And so what

(35:33):
if I didn't, Thankly, I would believe that God could say, yes,
you can mess up, and you are very able to
make mistakes, and I'll be okay, I'll just beak, you
know what, I'm just gonna start over, and that's okay.
Forget what I just said. I'm saying to day will
be filled with so much love, especially when it kells Mike.
There's so much fun that there's gonna be so much

(35:53):
love in that room. It's not even gonna nobody's gonna
even if you mess something up. Nobody's gonna be like,
oh my gosh, this happened exactly, and we're gonna have fun,
Like we're rooming together. We have a group of people
rooming together, and it's just gonna be such a fun day.
So all the single ladies will be sticking together for
both weddings. This is true. Yeah, we didn't get plus

(36:15):
ones for either one. Which even if we did, there's
nobody I would have invited. I would have been like,
I don't want I don't want plus ones because I'm
not going to bring anybody. Yeah, I've never brought a
plus one to a wedding ever, Like ever, I have,
I have a few times, but I will, I mean,
I will say, unless, like I'm in a really dead
serious relationship, weddings are weddings are a little weird for

(36:36):
me to like bring somebody. I mean, I'm kind of
dating somebody right now, but like, unless I were to
be dating somebody for like a very long time, seriously,
I don't feel like they need to come to weddings.
I just feel like that puts a lot of pressure
on a relationship and it elevates the entire situation instead
of it just being like, hey, we're just dating, we're
having fun, life's happening, and you know, after you hit

(36:59):
a year more, I could feel like a yearmark is
a safe bet to bring them to a wedding. Yeah,
I think that's pretty good. That's kind of how I feel.
Or like, I mean, you know, six months, if you're
like really dead sears and you're already like talking about
marriage and moving in or whatever, Yeah, then that's that's acceptable.
Maybe that's when maybe that's when it's like officials, when
you start talking about living together and like getting married
and stuff. Maybe that's when you're like, okay, I'll bring

(37:20):
you around like my entire family, friends, everybody. Because it
also could be a wedding where you bring people to
friends from like twenty years ago, and you're like, I
have no idea how this is gonna go right, you know,
and it's the first person or first time that person's
meeting everybody, and it's not like you can go around
controlling all the conversations that are happening, or you know,
I don't know, there's just so many things so well

(37:42):
you have to pay so much money too to go,
especially when they're destination wedding destination or like they have
to come into town, you know, all the things, Like
that's added expenses for somebody who doesn't even know the
bright room. Yeah, I've never thought about that actually. So
if I were invited to a wedding, which I won't be,
but if I were and I didn't know the bride
and groom and I had to pay, I'm gona be like,

(38:04):
you can go on your own, like have fun, ye,
staying behind. I ain't paying that. I'm cheap though, but see,
I feel like you would pay for it if it's
somebody that you're really serious about. That's my whole point.
I would suggest a cheaper option. If it's cheaper driving,
we're driving, well, yeah, but you'd still find a way
to try and go and you figure it out. But otherwise,
I mean having to pay for flights and and you're like,

(38:26):
I don't even know who these people are. Yeah, that's
too much. Yeah, I agree with you. So six months,
maybe year, or just maybe whenever you're like official in
your relationship, you should be bringing your plus one because
otherwise you can go and have like your girls and
I at the wedding, which is what Hillary and I
are doing now. That's yeah, for both weddings. We're gonna

(38:46):
have so much fun. I wonder if they're both going
to do like um like arranged like the seating charts situations.
Are we going to meet on other like single people?
Oh maybe I didn't even think about that. I was thinking,
I hope we're sat together. But I assume they'd say
they're like, I hope we sit together, and I'm like,
because there are there's a couple people. I mean, what
if I got butt at a table where I didn't
know anybody, I'd be like, oh, just in both cases,

(39:09):
we would end up next to each other. Yeah, I
don't think that either one of them would do that
to us. But now that you say that, if Caitlin
or Kelsey are listening to this and you know some
single people come into your wedding, just go ahead and
put them at Mindy Morgan's table as long as you approved,
like you vetted these people and they're good ones, go
ahead and put them at our table. As long as
they're good. If they're bad, don't put a mirra us. No.

(39:29):
But I don't think they have bad friends, So I
don't think they're just thinking, like, I don't think they're
going to invite bad people to the crowd, so we
have nothing to worry about. We're okay, man, Okay, Well
that that was fun. We just got like a lot
of updates there on a whole lot. Yes, but here
you go listen to Bobby reveal another one of his
groomsmen this week and talk about why said groomsmen is

(39:52):
not the best man. Number five Carle in Missouri, Carly,
how are you? Thank you for calling the show. I'm sad.
How are you? Bobby? Do him pretty good? What can
I help you with? Well, I've been a long time listener,
but I'm a little bit late to your Bare Bones book.
I'm just starting reading it. And it's kind of cool
to hear your life way back then because I've been
listening for years. But you talked about how if you

(40:15):
ever got married, your best man would for sure be
your friend Courtney. So I just thought that was funny.
I wanted to kind of call you out on that. Well,
my best man is not Courtney. I will breaking news
Courtney as a groomsman, but he is not best man.
I wrote that book probably five or six years ago,
and although Eddie was one of my best friends then,

(40:37):
I think Eddie has now pulled ahead in the Power
rankings to number one. I didn't realize that you wrote
that in that book. Yeah, huh. I mean I guess
I probably wrote a seven or eight years ago. Yeah, yeah,
and you were probably two or three then. Sure, But
now Eddie has pulled up to a strong number one.
Courtney's obviously still up there, but he lives in Houston
now and we see each other about once a year.
So Courtney is a groomsman, but he is not best man.

(41:00):
Although I did write in the book. I think when
I told him, well, I met her. He was in
Oklahoma at the time, and I went and I was like, hey,
Caitlin and I are in Tulsa or she lives in
Fort Gibson, and he was somewhere else and I said, hey,
he's an Oklahoma city. Sat meet us in whatever. And
I give him his watch and has his name, you know,
inscribed on it, and say, hey, man, I want you
to be a groomsman. And I think he was excited,
but he was like, wait, I'm not taking the best man.

(41:20):
He's like, but in the book it says promised man.
He opens the book page one thirty two says I'm
the best man. Yes, yes, Carly, thank you for calling
that out because a lot of people have hit me
on DM about that. But he is a groomsman, but
he is not the best man that goes to Eduardo
my friend here. That's funny. All right, thank you very much.

(41:42):
Hope you have a great day. It's the best Bits
of the Week with Morgan number two. This week on
the show, we brought on Justin Moore. He dropped a
new album, so he came on and talked all about it,
plus a lot of other things, his first ADO single,
his kids, all the things, and we always love on

(42:03):
Justin Moore Stop Spy. So here we go. This is
Justin Moore number four, The Friday Morning Conversation with Justin Moore. Hey,
this straight out of the country album that just came out.
Is this a playoff straight out of Compton, straight out
of everything? Or is it? I? Is it? No? You
know it's funny. Somebody asked me that. The buddy of
mine asked me that the other day, and I hadn't

(42:24):
even thought about that until he had asked me. But
that's a good idea. But no, it didn't come from that.
It was just an out of outta where I was like,
I wonder if this is what that is? But okay,
good to know Justin has got a new record out today.
You guys check it out. Is it eight tracks? Is

(42:45):
that what it is? It's eight new tracks? Yeah, nine
total with we didn't have much, being an acoustic track
as well as the full track that you guys have
a radio and just uh, you know, in this world
where we're trying to just give folks different stuff, different
content in so many different ways, that song, to me

(43:07):
kind of lent itself to a more simple track. Not
that the original is super involved, but I don't know.
It just showcased the lyrics and we thought, hey, this
would be cool to do something a little different. Let's
talk about live music for a second, because you're back
on the road May twenty nine. It looks like Colorado Springs. Man.

(43:28):
How excited you to go to work again? So excited? Man?
Obviously it's um, you know, there's been so many difficulties
on so many people throughout this past thirteen fourteen, fifteen
months whatever it's been, and and certainly you know a
lot more serious things than not getting to go play
live music. But that being said, h you know, feel

(43:52):
so blessed to have the opportunity to get back out there.
And we don't really know in what capacity it's gonna be,
but in any capacit, Steve, we're looking forward to it.
And I think, you know, one of the lessons that
I've learned, out of many that I have learned throughout
this whole thing, is not to take this for granted.
You know, we all we all thought this was, you know,

(44:14):
recession proof. What we all get a chance to do,
go up on stage and play live music, and certainly
that's been proven otherwise. And so you know, those those
long runs where we get a little crispy and go glee. Man,
I just need to get home for a couple of
days and maybe we just ain't feeling this show tonight

(44:36):
or whatever. There'll be a lot less of that, and
we'll never take it for granted again, that's for sure.
Justin Moore is on with us. He's got a new
record out today called straight out of the Country. I
was looking back at, you know, your history. Your first
radio single came out in two thousand and eight. Back
that thing Up was co written by Randy Houser. Do
you ever play that live or if you have you
just kind of stopped on that one. Yeah, that one's

(44:58):
Houser's fault. I like to blame that one on him.
You know, we hadn't played that in a long time, Bobby.
You know, that was the I think that might have
been the only single we hadn't gotten in the top
thirty in our career, and so, you know, I think
some people would remember it, and I think it kind

(45:19):
of did its job. It kind of it got us
some attention early on in our career, which everybody's trying
to get and cut through the noise, so to speak.
And I think it kind of opened people up to
my personality. I don't take myself too serious, et cetera.
But it just wasn't a huge radio hit. I think

(45:41):
it went to thirty eight and went we went back
down and hurry, and so we hadn't played it in
a while, and unfortunately, thanks to you guys at country radio,
you know, we're at the point where we have to
cut hits out of the show, which is just something
that is just mind blowing to me. And you know,
we signed a record deal fourteen years ago, and the

(46:02):
fact that we've continued this journey for this long is
a huge blessing. And I guess if we had to
throw something else in there, we could throw that one
in there. But I don't know. We just haven't in
a while. If someone holds up a sign that says
play back that thing up, does your band know it?

(46:23):
You could just launch into it or you just ignore
the sign. I don't know, man, to be honest, Well, yeah,
and when we played our first show, you know, after
this long drought, I didn't know if we'd know a
damn thing, to be be quite honest with you, So
I've been impressed it we've known anything, but that one
would be a chore probably to remember your next song

(46:45):
after that went number one? How different was it feeling
when small Town USA hit? Did it fly up the
charts or did it also take a while? No? No,
it took almost a year. I think at the time
that it hit number one, it was a record at
the time. It was broken a couple of times after
that for how long it took. And um, you know,

(47:08):
those are a lot of sleepless nights because back then,
you know, it was a whole different ball game. If
you have if you have a couple of misses on
singles in a row, you lost your record deal. Um. Nowadays,
you know, labels tend to stick with you even for
a couple of two or three albums. But back then,
you got a single or two and if you didn't

(47:29):
it one of them didn't pop, it was over. And
so I was I was thinking, well, if this one
don't work, we're in We're in major trouble then. Uh.
And fortunately for us, it did it. Like you said,
it took a whole long time. But um, you know
the fact that it rung the bell for us, regardless
of how long it took, you know, set us on

(47:51):
this path for sure. I see you have a guitar
of there beside. He is that thing tuned up? Yeah,
well it was when I tuned it while ago. If
you ever had a shot with me and I see
a guitar, I'm have you grabbed it. Give me a
little just a little nugget of a small town you,
I said, I know it, I know a little bit
of it. Yeah. A lot of people called it prison

(48:18):
Now I was growing up. These are my roots and
this is what I love because everybody owns me. I
know them, and I believe that's the way we were
supposed to live. Wooden Trade one saying ding small town USA,

(48:48):
Give me a Saturday night and my baby, find my
sad little Hank Junior and a six pack a lot
no dirt road, now, be just fine, give me a
sunny morning maskful of grace, a simple laughing out be okay,

(49:13):
here's my old town Yessa. Justin Moore, Hey, so Justin,
if you're somewhere and there's a guitar, people ever just
like look at you and go like, come on, man,
just got that gud Come on, Justin just got that guitar.
Plays couple about everybody but my Why she goes, do

(49:35):
not grab that guitar because she knows I won't. She
can't get it out of my hands. Jess, we were
talking on the show recently about this dad and he
had a wedding fund for his daughter and then she
decided to elope. So he's just like, I'm gonna spend
the money on me and go go have a vacations
that you didn't want the money for a wedding? Are
you working on any side of it's sort of fun
for your kids? You know you have some girls. I

(49:56):
got a whole bunch of kids. Uh So, yeah, we
started of all their college funds. You know, my oldest
is eleven and my youngest is three, so they all
have college funds. Started wedding. I'll give you my my experience.
My wife's parents, who paid for our weddings, said we'll

(50:17):
either give you X amount of money to start off,
and you guys, can you know, just do some quick
something and then you'll be kind of set up for
a little while. At the time, we didn't have a
pot to pee in, you know. And and of course
we did this whole huge wedding, and right after the wedding,

(50:39):
we go, Man, what would be nice to have twenty
thousand dollars to our name when we have two hundred
now or whatever the amount was. So think about that
long and hard if that's an offer. But I've never
heard of the dad of the bride saying you, I'll
either pay for this or give you this, or I'm

(51:00):
using it. That's a new one. Well, good to see you.
I hope everybody checks it out. Straight out of the
country from Justin Moore. You know what's gonna be good
if you love country music, that's your guys. Justin. Good
to talk to you, and hopefully I'll see in real life,
real soon. Likewise, buddy, whoop pigs. It's the best bits
of the week with Morgan number two. I really loved

(51:22):
this moment on the show this week, and a lot
of you guys did to the fire chief from one
of our tell Me Something Good stories heard the tell
Me Something Good story on the radio and then called
in to talk all about it. And I don't know
about you, Hillary, but I got chills when he like
we were kind of giving them a hard time for
like having to rescue guinea pig. They were like, you know,

(51:43):
is that a moment where you're kind of like, Okay,
do we go in there or do we not? And
he was like, no, look like we either We're going
in no matter what, and we're gonna hopefully save these
animals or at least give the family closure and just
everything he said, Like I was sitting there, my whole
body had chills, like thinking about these firefighters risking their
lives not only for humans, but for all the crazy

(52:04):
animals that we have in our lives. Yeah, Amy, and
you were huge, huge animal lovers, and when I heard that,
I was like, heck, yeah, go in there and save
those guinea pigs. I don't care what kind of animal
it is, like, please go in there and save them.
I think that's so awesome. But yeah, it was super
cool that he was listening to our show and he
called in at like the perfect moment. So yeah, it's

(52:27):
like super what wait, I think that's my fire department,
Like you're talking about me. Yeah. I love the story.
But there have been another moment on the show. You
and I have both worked for the show for several
years now. Yeah, has there been a moment on the
show that you can recall, like from the top of
your head. I gave you chills? So this one's kind

(52:47):
of like it's sweet, but it also kind of had
like a sad moment too. And I don't know why
this stuck with me, like it's so random, but I
remember when Adam Hambritt came on the show, and I
think it was his grandfather who had just passed, and
the whole reason he was coming on the show was
Bobby was surprising him that he was going to get
to play on the grand Ole Opry for the very

(53:07):
first time, and he had his mom call in. Bobby
had Adam's mom call in, and I wasn't sure what
his reaction was going to be like, you know, some
of these country guys like they're tough and they're like, oh,
we can handle whatever. But he started crying, and I
just got chills because he was talking about how, you know,
that's something his grandfather would have loved to have seen,

(53:30):
and I relate because my grandfather passed away when I
was fourteen and he never got to see me, you know,
be in radio, and he always knew I wanted to
move to Nashville and do something like this, And it
just gave me chills to see that he was going
to get that moment that his grandfather always wanted for him.
He was going to get to play for the first
time on the grand ol Opry, and his family was

(53:51):
going to get to come, and his mom was on
the phone, and I mean I saw him afterwards, kind
of a little behind the scenes, but he was in
Bobby's office after like face timing with his wife, just crying,
ying still, And that moment, for celeb reason, just really
stuck with me, and it just gave me chills because
I'm like, to us, we thought, oh, it's just you know,
an artist, another artist announcement. We're going to tell him
that he's performing at the Grand ol Opry. Had no

(54:13):
idea that it was going to have that much impact
on me and a lot of our listeners, and it
just it gave me chills when I heard that. I
totally had forgotten about that moment until you just said it.
But it was it was a really emotional moment. It
was so emotional. And to get to be a part
of it too, you know, it wasn't even like we
were just doing the announcement. We were part of that

(54:33):
story for him. And that's what's cool about our jobs is,
you know most people are like, oh, your jobs are
so cool. You get to see celebrities and you get
to meet them and talk to them, and you know,
that's just like one person of our job. Like our job,
we get to help so many people and we get
to be a part of a lot of huge moments

(54:54):
for people, and I think that is so cool. And
those moments always with me. I never I never forget them,
like listener moments or artist moments like that, Like it's
just it's so cool. No, I love that, And I
mean I think it reminds me of the one that
would be for me, which was also a really like

(55:15):
sad time. And I mean it was after the festival
in Las Vegas shooting, and we had a lot of
artists come in and performed, but there was one performance
in particular that just like hit me in the gut,
and it was Mary Morris performing love First Hate, love
over Hate or love Hate. I can't exactly remember the

(55:38):
song title because I was crying so hard. I'm gonna
look it up while while I'm talking. I know, I
was totally blanked because I know what song you're talking about,
Dear Hate, Dear Hate. Yes, our shirts that we did
were love over Hate. That's why I'm thinking of that.
But yes, and she performed, and it hit me in
my gut, like I just got chills again even thinking
about it. I cried, I mean I cried when I

(55:59):
went home after that day was really heavy. And then
for her to come in and perform a song that
was just so emotionally wrecking, it was. It was a
lot so I mean, but both moments, you know, inspired
by sad things, but came out some really also really
cool moments. Yeah, so I would encourage you guys to
go watch both of those. They're all all those kind

(56:21):
of videos are up on Bobby Bones dot Com. But
you might cry, I mean you probably, well, yes, but
I think too, Like, yes, they were sad, but in
a way, both of those moments kind of brought healing.
Like with Adam that was probably i don't know, like
a little bit of peace for him in a hard time.
And same with the Marin performance that was right before

(56:42):
I started the show, but I was working in the building,
but that probably brought a lot of peace for a
lot of our listeners listening, because that was such a
heavy day for country music fans and everybody in Nashville.
And music really does heal, Like it's crazy. People say
that it's so cliche and can be cheesy, but it

(57:02):
really does, say like brings a sort of peace for people,
and that's why I love it so much. No, and
it absolutely did. I mean I remember that entire show
the few few days after that show, like very vividly.
There's a lot of things that like when you're working
in your day to day life, you just kind of
forget until somebody maybe brings it back up. But this
is one of those moments that just like I'll be

(57:24):
sitting there sometimes and it just like comes front to
mind again. And I'm like, wow, that was really hard,
really difficult, heavy everything about it. It was like I
just remember waking up to what we were seeing on
the news to what I had to start posting on
social media like and it's still to this day will
make me cry. Yeah, it's giving me chills right now

(57:45):
just even thinking about it, because I remember where I
was and I found out I was still awake ahead
and fallen asleep yet and I didn't sleep at all
that night because I remember, you know, seeing all the
news on Twitter, and I just could not believe it.
I don't. I was just watching all of the all
the information they were finding out, like being tweeted like
live of it was just crazy and I was watching

(58:07):
videos and at that point you didn't know how many
people had died or you know, if you just didn't
know anything. So yeah, it was that was crazy and
such a hard time for everybody. Well, if you're you know,
you're you're feeling your emotions, I encourage you to go
watch both of these things that happened on our show.
But then, but before you do that, UM, listen to
this fire chief he calls in, and it was just

(58:29):
a really cool moment. He called in at the perfect time,
and he shared his side of a story that you know,
we otherwise talk about good stories every day. So yeah,
listen to this, get the chills. I promise you'll love it.
Number three, Good morning, Welcome to the show. We got
a good one. Let me say this first morning studio morning.
Let me go over to Indiana where on the phone

(58:49):
it's fire Chief Robert wanting to talk about tell me
something good that he heard on the show. Hello, fire
Chief Robert, welcome to the program. Hey Bobby, how are
you doing this morning? Doing pretty good? Thank you for
calling and what would you like to say. Well, we
were sitting out in the debates here in the fire
station and was listening to Amy's tell Me something Good,
and we just caught the tail end of it. I
think we were talking about our fire department where we
went on a run where a little ten year old

(59:11):
alerted to her family that there was a fire there.
We got there, weal to make a grab of two
guinea pigs and save them, and h it was just
it was pretty awesome to hear our names mentioned up
there because of the bravery of this little ten year old. Um.
That was pretty awesome. I just wanted to say thanks
for that. Wait, that was your fire department. Yeah, y'all
saved s'mores in Scarlett. Yes, yes, ironic name for one

(59:32):
of them. That's so cool. That is so cool. Yeah.
The story if you missed a story, a little girl
Indiana saved her family when a fire broke out in
their garage. Her name was ann As, She's ten. She
was getting ready for school. There was a strange noise
coming from the garage and so the family were like,
oh crap, but they didn't grab their pets. Luckily Hunter

(59:54):
Town Fire Department And that's where you're from, right, fire
Chief Robert? That is correct? Yeah? Is this the chief?
Like at the end, I shared a quote Robert Born. Yes,
this is fire Chief Robert Born. Story we got somebody.
I loved your quote of just reminding people that if
someone senses something's not right, like lean into that. I'm paraphrasing,

(01:00:17):
but you know what I mean. Oh yeah, definitely. I
mean it's amazing. Sometimes we want to blow things off,
and sometimes our children are more intuitive about what's going
on around us than what we are. So we just
need to listen up and pay attention and everyone can
get up safe. Did you know this story made the news?
So I put it on Facebook and then it kind
of made local news, but I didn't know it made
national news. And all of a sudden, I'm listening to

(01:00:38):
Bobby Bones and I'm like, holy how that's that's us? Yea,
I know how about this? Who was on this call?
How many like what guys were out there saving Smores
and Scarlett? Actually the crew that's working today ironically, so
there's a big group of us. And there was about
two other departments that joined us also, so it was

(01:00:58):
a big group effort. Well, how many people are your
crew that are working today that we're there today? There's
actually five of us. Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
The five that are there with you right now, you
plus five. Um, We're gonna send you guys some pemp
and joy stuff to your firehouse because we just appreciate
what you do, that you listen to the show that
you went in and save these animals, what you do
every day, like let's not let that be lost too,

(01:01:20):
Like he has a risk in your lives. So we're
gonna send We're gonna put you on hold. Yeah, we'll
send some hats um and just appreciate you. We'll put
you on hole, get your address and send some stuff
at the fire station. How's that? Well, thank you so much.
This is awesome. We really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing
the story. Yeah, I feel like somebody famous called in. Honestly,
this is cool one when Tim McGraw calls us because

(01:01:43):
we tell me something good. When we do it, tell
me something good, like obviously we really are shouting these
people out, but the fact that the people were shouting
out actually hear it. That's awesome. Now, remember after the
tell me something good, though, we question whether it's worth
going in and save a guinea Remember, can you remember that? No,
ask him how did y'all feel about that? Here, let's
ask him, did you what do you like? A guinea? Pig?

(01:02:05):
And rabbits too? So at first we were like, man,
we don't know if there's much hope, but you know,
we still have to try because if anything, the family
can have closure if it wasn't successful. When we found him,
we found up that they were alive. The tears of
joy that we're running down these little girls's face, the
dad like hooting and holler and just screaming at the
top of it. As long as out of excitement. Um,

(01:02:27):
you know, it might just be guinea pigs to someone else,
but for that family, it was everything. And that's why
we do what we do. It's not the small things
or the minute things. Is because for someone that's the
major thing. So we have to do whatever we can
for anyone at all times. Dang thing. I wish I
wouldn't have question this, right. I know they were like,

(01:02:47):
we gotta going for guinea excuse me, mars, Well yeah,
he just said they were like oom. But also I
gotta say, is that the first time y'all have ever
administered oxygen to a little tiny animal like that. We've
done for cats and dogs, but never never done it
for guinea pigs. It works. Well, let us say it's
been a real treat, real honor to hang out. Do
you still have the goatee? I'm looking at pictures of

(01:03:08):
you right now. You have a cool fireman goatee. You
still have that? Oh? Yeah, of course I can't lose that.
I'm a firefighter. I agree. Like when I see a firefighter,
he'd better have some facial hair or I'm worried. All right, Hey,
I appreciate you, Thank you for doing what you do
every day. We're gonna put you on hold real quick,
ray and we'll get his information. There he is that
tell me how it comes a live Hope you have
a great morning. Thank you for calling. Thank you you too.

(01:03:30):
All Right? The cool is it? I love it. It's
the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
All right, Well, coming in at number two, we had
a feud happen with Bobby and an artist, an unexpected feud.
We didn't really anticipate that this was going to happen
when we originally put out the Dumbest Hits List. Okay,

(01:03:52):
we put out this list. We're like, hey, these are
cool songs, but also kind of dumb. That was the
whole point of it. Well, you know, Bahaman saw that
their song was number one and they were not a fan,
so a feud broke out kind of. I mean they
just kind of tweeted at Bobby and said something which
you can see on the blog out Bobbybones dot com
and you can hear it kind of in this segment.
But Hilary, I want to know, what do you think

(01:04:15):
it is the dumbest song? I feel so bad even
saying this because I know she got bullied for it,
and this is nothing personal at all towards her. I
have no issues with her. But Friday by Rebecca Black,
Oh gosh, it's friding right, they gotta get down on Friday,
which is like crazy too because it's so catchy, like
it's sun but it's dumb. Every time I write Friday,

(01:04:37):
I'm like, Friday, it's stuck in my head. What is it?
Is it? Um? Oh? How does it go? As like
party and party or party and party? Yeah, the whole
thing is, yes, it's catchy, but if you really sit
down and look at the lyrics, like, yeah, just not good.
But I do feel bad she got bullied for that. Yeah, no,
that's never good. I mean there's one thing to say

(01:04:59):
it's not you know, it's a dumb song, but another
like both for it. Yeah, what's your dumb song? Oh
it's ricky? She bangs. Oh yeah, I do think. I mean,
like he repeats, she bangs, she bangs over and over again,
I'm like, what was the purpose of this song? That's
what I don't understand, Like I don't. I feel like

(01:05:21):
I'm always the naive person though who doesn't underwood doesn't
understand things. But yeah, I don't. I don't get that.
I have no doubt that it meant to be like
some kind of NSFW song that you yes, people, I'm
sharing and whatever, and it is catchy, you know. She
bangs like it'll get stuck in your head if you
listen to it, but it's really stupid. Does that have
other lyrics in it besides that? You know, let's look
him up. She bangs, it's Ricky Martin lyrics. Okay, oh yeah,

(01:05:46):
oh yeah, there's there's a bunch, but I mean, I
believe it is in another language. Oh so we oh, okay,
that's dangerous territory together again, so because we don't know
what either're talking about and what they're yeah, I'm not
even gonna try. I will tell you a funny story.
When I was in an uber this is pre pandemic,
and I was really really obsessed. Let me see if

(01:06:07):
I can find it Katy Perry and oh what's his name? Oh,
mister Miami, what's his name? Pitbull? Pit ball? Yeah? I
was like, why did we keep doing this? Like we
know these things that when you're put on the side,
can't think of them. There was a song that and
now I'm not going to remember it. I mean that
Katy Perry and pitbulled it together. So pit had originally
I believe it was Pitpole had originally done the song

(01:06:29):
and then Katy Perry did like a new version with
him on it. Yeah. Positive. It was one of these
songs that had like Spanish and English in it, right, Okay,
it was my favorite song. I had it on repeat
at the time, like on every song. So I was
in the uber and he's like, you want to hear
any song? I was like, yes, this song is my
favorite song. Well, he spoke Spanish and so I was like, hey,

(01:06:50):
can you translate this song for me? Because I really
don't know what I'm saying? And he translated it. You know,
Mario was a little drunky on this drive home and
I was like, I got home and I was like,
I probably shouldn't have asked that poor man to translate.
O oh my gosh, poor guy. I'm just like picturing
the awkwardness right now. And that poor man, to be
very he was laughing like he was laughing like drunk,

(01:07:12):
and I'm like, hey, can dream and translate this song?
I knew most of it because I knew the English parts,
and I did know a few of the Spanish words,
but there was just a few of them in there
where I was like, hey, I really don't know, if
you don't mind, I just want to make sure I'm
not like saying anything bad. Is really what I was
right about. I understand that, yes, but it had never
occurred to me until I was sitting there drunken uber

(01:07:33):
that I should probably understand what the lyrics are. I
really want to know what song it was now. I
know it's somewhere on here. I mean, just search pit Bull.
I'm gonna be honest with you. I have a fascination
with Spanish songs like I will listen to them when
I work out, not even kid. It's cool, like I
they give me such good energy. They're very like upbeat
and very happy, like yeah, they could be singing about

(01:07:56):
something very depressing, and again we don't know, but it's
they're just happy songs like they do put you in
a good mood when you hear them. Yes, And I'm
I'm gonna be so mad at myself because I'm gonna
remember this at some point. It's gonna come on and
be like, yes, this is about It's not the j
Lo one is it. Oh, I don't know. This is
gonna bother me for days. I'm gonna find it and
be like this, Oh yeah it was. It is Katy

(01:08:16):
Perry and Daddy Yankee. It wasn't Pitbull, Katie Perry and
Daddy Yankee. And it's called con Karma. You probably heard
it because if you've been in the car with me
at the point that I love the song. I listened
to it for like three months straight. I can't think
of it that song. Maybe it'll be one of my
I do my like little daily walks on Instagram and
add a new song. Okay, maybe I'll do that well
at it. But yeah, it was that song lesson learned,

(01:08:51):
don't ask a stranger to translate something for you. No, yeah,
that was probably not a good idea. And this poor
man do if I remember correctly, I don't even think
he was like fluid in Spanish. But he was like,
oh yeah, a good song. But he kind of looked
at me funny when I said it was my favorite song.
So that's why I was like, can you did I
say something bad? Did I do something wrong? Like I

(01:09:11):
was really concerned that I had like done something and
he was like no, no, no, but it's a little dirty,
bless oh bless awkward. Yeah, so that's what I do
when I'm drunken. Uber is pre pandemic. I'm sure it's
only gonna get worse when this all comes back. Yeah,
I can be drunken ubers again. So oh my gosh. Yeah,
well we'll wrap on that because you guys don't need
to hear it anymore. By drunk Stories, here is Bobby

(01:09:35):
talking about his potential feud with the Bahaman number two,
the feud that no one expected in the world of
pop culture. Me versus the Bahaman. Did you guys see this? Well,
this is what happened, and I don't I wasn't mean
anything bad by it. I listed the five dumbest songs
of all time. I don't think being having dumb stuff

(01:09:57):
is bad. We do a lot of dumb stuff on
this show. I think sometimes people just want dumb stuff.
And I said, these are really catchy, big hits, but
it's getting dumb songs. There are dumb movies that I love.
Old School as a dumb movie, it's great. And I said, hey,
here's my five dumbest songs and I listen to them,
and then they hit me back on Twitter yesterday. You

(01:10:19):
write a song that pays the bills for the next
twenty years. Then, and I said, hey, dumb stuff can
make money. I do dumb stuff. There's an art to it,
but let's not act like it's Shakespeare. Serious. People like dumb. Thankfully,
that's what you're responding. Yes, well, and then did they
reply back to your song? I didn't look. I get
out of toxic situations, okay, but also the tone you

(01:10:40):
read their reply do you think they meant it? In
that tone? Sounded like it you wrote the song that
for the next twenty n you mean like that? I
don't know if they were like sarcasm is like hey, dude,
like you write a song that pays the bills. They're
challenging me here like morgeous sarcasm, Like we get it,
we are dumb, but hey, it's been paying the bills.

(01:11:02):
I don't know. I'm just reading things. Is hard because
you don't know the tone. Well, they wrote you all
caps anyway, Oh you're sorry that all caps makes a
big statement, insulting. I love dumb stuff sometimes it's the
best bits of the week. With Morgan number two of course,

(01:11:25):
coming in at number one Amy was back this week
after she took some weeks off for some personal things
going on. But she shared everything that happened while she
was out and take out really emotional and I really
related to Amy in some of these moments, and I'm
sure a lot of our listeners did. I'm not sure
I know that it happened because you guys showed an
outpouring of love and support for her on our social media.

(01:11:48):
So listen to this. It may just be exactly what
you need to hear this week. Number one, when your
dad passed away, I went on the air and I said, Hey,
Amy's dad died. Just kind of gave everybody an idea
of what happened to you. I said, she said she's
coming back in two days, and I was like, I
don't think she should come back in two days. And
then yeah, I don't think that was realistic for me,
just because just for and not that there's so much

(01:12:09):
happening in my life that I think it's been known
for at least two listeners that have been listening all
the time, like for several months now, even the end
of last year. There's just a lot happening, and my
dad dying is probably last thing I was thinking I
would add to my list, especially because he had literally
just moved in with me, and I was excited about
that time, like just totally unexpected turn of events, which

(01:12:34):
now i'm thankful. You know, we had one full night
with him at my house, like the whole process of
moving him in. He had a caregiver. She worked for
a day, like just so many things now. But I
think maybe he needed that. Maybe his body was kind
of had some stuff going on that we didn't even
know of, and he needed that night with us and
some special memories. And then yeah, I had to end

(01:12:57):
up calling an ambulance and then he was in the hospital.
But honestly, when the ambulance was loading him up, he
was like love you, and I was like, love you.
I'll probably pick you up tomorrow. They're gonna get your
blood part, like we'll figure it out. They'll get you good,
and you know, I'll see you tomorrow. And that night
he went on life support. I never talked to my
dad again, and you know, that was just something I

(01:13:22):
was still in denial though, even though the doctor was like, hey,
you should call siblings, like I have a sister and
a half brother and a half sister. He's like, I
think they should come, you know, well, we don't know
he could turn around. And I'm thinking what So I
am still working at this point, still coming in and
I think I'm in denial. And then I found out
later I guess my sister had texted you. I didn't

(01:13:44):
know that at the time, but I think she texted
you like, I don't think Amy should work anymore, and
if I've been telling Amy not to work right, And
I was like what, I didn't realize the severity and
being that he was on life support and his body
was kind of declaring that it was it was time.
We we had to make the tough decision. Me and

(01:14:08):
my and my three other siblings, all of his kids
were gathered around him and we UM. After several days,
we even put it off a day. We were going
to do it one day and they were like, oh,
we can't do it. So we had one more day
with him and then removed him from life support and UM,
but his body was ready, like it was, it felt right,

(01:14:29):
and the hospital we were at or they were amazing.
I've never been through anything like that ever. I mean,
I I was with my mom for her final breath,
but she hurt. She it was natural like it well,
I mean, I guess his was too, but she wasn't,
not on any kind of life support. The cancer had
kind of taken over. But then reliving this with my
dad was a powerful moment, and you know, we I

(01:14:53):
even told Bobby this, Like, we had a playlist going
and it was just crazy because my favorite song in
the world and my dad's is George Straight Amarilla by
Morning and we had the playlist on shuffle and the
songs are shuffling through. We had no idea when the
doctor was like actually doing the final thing that would
lead him to the final breath, and Amarilla by Morning finished,

(01:15:14):
and then the next song kind of started for a second,
and then the nurse came in and said, hey, I
just want a gel to know he's taken his final breath,
and we were all just like, you know, there with him,
and it was super emotional, but we were like, how
fitting that he would. I mean, do you know how
many times I have two steps to that song with
my dad, and that we just kind of all pictured

(01:15:35):
him like two stepping his way into heaven. And you know,
then after that, I think the reality of him being
gone set in. I went back home and of course
I had his new bedroom and everything set up, and
my family and friends, like you know, people that were
went into action and they're like, we need to move
all of this out. Let's get this back, you know,
like this is too much memory. And then with all

(01:15:56):
the things happening in my life, kind of some that
people know about, some that people don't like. Everything just
I realized if I don't maybe take some sick days
and some vacation days, Like I was talking to work
and talking with you, and I'm like, how can we
make this happen? Like I think I need to go
go do some like intensive type therapy stuff just so

(01:16:19):
that I can be better and not you know, let
this all completely implode at some point. So I realized
not everybody has that type of time, and I'm super
grateful for it. And I'm thankful to listeners that were
checking in. And I wasn't on social media at all,
but I would hear from other people and get different

(01:16:39):
notes or emails, and yeah, I have a lot of
gratitude for the time. And I went and I got
some healing from the trauma and the just some some
other stuff and and hopefully I'm back a better person,
and I still have a lot of work to do,
but I just feel for anybody out there that's going
through a lot, whether it's one thing or multiple things

(01:17:02):
at once, like, I hope you know that you're not alone,
and I hope that you have someone you can talk
to and that you can get through it, because I
feel like I am making my way, like shaking while
I'm talking, making my way to the other side of
some hard stuff. And yeah, I just hope I can
show up for my job, for my family, be a

(01:17:23):
mom for my friends, but show up here because I
feel like part of our responsibility of having this platform
is sharing some of our story, the good times and
the bad, and then and showing up for people that
also might be going through something hard and giving them
that hope. And so I'm thankful I had that time
for self exploration and I'm back, I think, and I

(01:17:47):
can get through this without I can come into work.
What some people don't know is sometimes like I was
do y'all remember that day right before I kind of left.
We were doing something and I was laughing. Yeah, you
laughed until you cry. Then you walked out of the room. Right, yeah,
and my laughter turned to tears. And then there was
something else that that wasn't on the air, but we
were recording, like a commercial or something, and I messed up.

(01:18:09):
I didn't even know I messed up. And You're like, Amy,
you read that totally wrong, and I was like, no,
I did it. And then I looked at it and
I did and I was laughing, and then the laughter
turned to tears, and that was a thing that I realized, like,
oh wait, something's not right with me. And then there
was an emotional time right after when my dad was
on life support where I should have been crying and
I couldn't stop laughing. So that, you know, that was

(01:18:31):
another sign of like, I'm there's a lot going on.
And I'm also reading a book called The Body Keeps
the Score. Highly recommend it, but our bodies know and
they can tell us when maybe we've got like a
lot of different things going on and it's going to
manifest and show up in different ways. And I don't
want mine to manifest into negative things. I want to

(01:18:53):
try to reframe some of it. And it's a lot
of work and I know that it's hard, but yeah, again,
want to offer that hope for people because I finally
feel like I can laugh and laugh and then cry
and cry and not have my emotions cross. But if
they do, it's okay. I'm human. Well, I'm glad you're back,
thank you, And I just rambled for a really long time.

(01:19:14):
I'm sorry ramble sometimes. Yeah, I'm glad you're back. Yeah,
you're all. You're always welcome to not be back. You know.
I think the hardest thing with you now telling you
to stay home, because that was the original conversation. I
was like, hey, take weeks off, and you said no,
I'm come back in two days. I was like, I
don't think you need to do that. You're like, I'm coming.
I said, okay, fine, I can't force you. Well, I
think I was using work as a distraction too, and

(01:19:34):
so I think a lot of us can do that.
But yeah, my other piece of encouragement would be if
you have amazing people around you that can fill in
for you and and allow you that time, like, don't
fight them on it. See that as a message of like, oh,
maybe they're onto something. They maybe see something from thirty
thousand feet that I don't see, and maybe you do
need to practice your breathing and take a walk or

(01:19:58):
go do some intense therapy, whatever it looks like for you. Well,
glad you're back, Thank you, You're very loved here. And
one day at a time. Yeah, we both went through it,
and I know, ducks, I know, but much weaker people
have been through much worse and gotten through it wonderfully,
and we'll follow their footsteps. Yeah, I'm excited to see

(01:20:19):
I know that. Yeah, my dad and my mom both,
I mean, but my dad most recently, he would not
want me, you know, feeling sad for him. He had
a great life and he loved what we do, like
he loved the show. I think he was like so
excited to be at the house and be a part
of life, which included a lot of what we get
to do. And one of the last people to see

(01:20:41):
him was actually Karen Fairchild when she came over. She
that was his last full day at the house and
she met him and was super sweet and kind to him.
And I don't know it just I was excited for
him to be a part of my life. But that's okay.
He got that one day and it was awesome. It's
the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
