Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
What is up? Everybody? If you're a first time listener,
what I do every weekend is I take our best
seven segments from the week and count them down based
on y'all's engagement. What all you really liked? And let
me tell you we had some good things happened this
week that I cannot wait to talk to you guys about,

(00:22):
but also talk to Lunchbox about. What up lunch What up?
Happy Saturday? I mean, we just had a chocolate covered
cicada situation. We had so many guests on Lunchbox pretended
to be my dad. I mean, just so much to
talk about your favorite moment of the week something like that.
We got a lot to talk about, so let's get started.

(00:45):
Coming in at number seven, we did the hobby in
a Hat where everybody on the show had to choose
another show member's hobby, well choose from the hat. Basically,
they didn't really get to choose about what they could
do for a hobby based on our other show members interests. Well,
you know, Ray had to do boxing for me, Bobby

(01:05):
had to watch teen mom for lunch Box. He got
lucky enough he got to watch Teen Mom. So many
crazy hobbies lunch. I need to know more about your
hobby is because some people were a little controversial online
saying that watching a TV show is it necessarily a hobby? Why?
What is a hobby? It's something you enjoy doing that
it's outside of work. Well, is that not what a hobby?

(01:26):
I don't know. I'd had to look up the Merriam
Webster dictionary version. But let me look up. Yeah, let
me see the definition of hobby is an activity done
regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure. Yep. So and
I watched teen Mom in my free time for leisure
for pleasure. Okay, and so that would define a hobby.
I mean taking a nap is a hobby, this is true.

(01:49):
But just to appease these other people, what other hobbies
do you have? Well, I go running, I play soccer.
I don't know, I watched TV. I play with my kids,
I make out with my wife. I mean, yeah, it's
took a different turn than I was ready for a lunch, boby,
But that those are my hobbies. Like as an adult,

(02:12):
you don't really get Oh, I played golf yee and
golf a lot. I am surprised out of all four
of you guys, not one of y'all put golf in
into this hobby thing. Well, I figure that that would
be too easy and people would enjoy doing it. You
want to do something that no one is like. If
Eddie or Bobby drew that, they'd be like, yeah great.
But if they draw teen mom, and they're gonna be like,

(02:33):
oh and that's what happened. Yeah, that's true. If you
guys like went home to your wives and were like,
I get to play golf for jointments today, it's my
work assignment, yeah, they would be like, uh no, thank you. So, yeah,
those are my hobbies. I don't know what do you got?
You got boxing and what? And drinking? You know, I
had learned during the pandemic that drinking is not a hobby.
That I had to find new hobbies. Okay, so what

(02:55):
do you have? So, um, hanging out with my friends,
that's that's a big hobby of mine. Well, see, I
mean it really is. So I like to do my Yeah,
that's why I'm saying that that's a hobby. Hey, people
would say that's not a hobby, but that's I was
not the one that said that though those people online, Okay,
don't yell at me. Um. I like to go on
long drives and listen to music. That's something I like it.

(03:17):
That's weird. I'm sorry, it's just I'm just saying that's weird.
I don't I don't get that one, but go ahead.
It calms me down. Um. I take my dog for
hikes walks. Okay, yeah, I walk my dog. I mean
I didn't think about that as a hobby, but I
do do that. Yeah. Um, boxing, which is what got
brought up on the show. I recently just picked up
the hobby of archery, which is a new one for me. Like,

(03:37):
where do you go to an art and dry? You're
just shooting your backyard. Well, so I have been going
to like a spot just to kind of practice to
make sure I like it, like in a public park. No. Um,
there's like I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Um. No to
archery shooting rangers. It's much like a gun range, but

(03:58):
it's an archery shooting leg. Oh that's cool. Yeah. And
so but I'm going to buy myself a bow and
get an archery thing for my backyard and do it
in the backyard. Oh boy, next thing you know Remy's
gonna actidally get the arrow. No, absolutely, don't even Well,
I'm just I'm just warning you you gotta be cal
heart attack. No, Remy would not be outside when this

(04:19):
is happening. Okay, maybe inside or a little Blue Jays
booh No, Okay, Well, I'm just saying you gotta be careful.
You're saying that I should keep to that. I did
archery the one time I went to summer camp. I
went to summer camp one week in my whole life.
Can't flaming arrow in Hunt, Texas And we did archery
and that was a lot of fun. But I did

(04:41):
it like twice and that was my my history with archery. Yeah.
But I feel like I've seen all these like really
professionals on TikTok do all these crazy archery stunts, and
I'm like, this is so cool. I want to be
able to do that. It also makes me feel like
a badass. Yeah, so how long until we can put
an apple on top of Eddie's head and you can
shoot it off? Oh? I mean I've already hit at

(05:02):
least five bulls eyes in my time of three times
that I've gone. Would you be confident enough to put
an apple on Eddie's head and shoot it off. Not yet.
I don't want to be held responsible yet. Give me
some more time to work on my steady hand. I'm
also like sit, I have very little arms. They're kind
of like t Rex arms, So I have to work

(05:24):
on that. You want to know how long until Eddie
will been comfortable with that? Never? Yes, exactly, just so
you know you're never gonna be able to do that.
But yeah, I know. I don't think we should do that.
I'm not Catness Everdeen, but I wish I was. Okay.
Hunger Games, never seen it so dumb? You've never seen
Hunger Game, never seen it, never will so dumb. But
why do you think it's so dumb if you've never

(05:44):
seen Oh, because it's so nerdy. Because Amy and Bobby
were so into that crap, and they made us show
up at Amy's sister's house I think, for one whole
Saturday and shoot a video recreating the the preview of
the movie. And I was in a scene for like
three seconds, but I had to be there for eight
hours because they love Hunger Games. It was so dumb.

(06:07):
You talked about nerdy a lot. What are things that
you consider nerdy. Cosplay nerdy, Okay, comic books nerdy. I
don't know. There's a lot of things, but those are
the things that come to the top of my head.
So really, anything Harry Potter nerdy, so like entertainment, star

(06:28):
wars nerdy, so entertaining star Trek nerdy, anything related to
superhero space Yeah, kind of like I don't mind you
watching a Superman movie, but when you start dressing up
with them and going to conferences, that's when you turn nerdy. Yeah,
but it's so cool, Like when you get so invested
in characters and you want to dress up like them,

(06:48):
it's like Halloween but all year round. No, Halloween's cool
because like it's meant for that. It's not like a
random Saturday where you're just gonna go to you know,
over there to Tupelo, Mississippi, and be like, Hey, I'm
going to the costplay a tournament or whatever. You know,
you just want to do it once in my life.
What is that other thing? Um? Pokemon cards? Nerd uh?
Is there in there another card game? War not war

(07:11):
World of Work not it's a video game, well, the
World of Warcraft nerds video games. It's I mean that's
a video game. Magic. Magic makes people nerdy, Magic the game,
the card game nerds. I've never played magic, oh man. Yeah, okay,
but well I think a lot of people could argue
that because you're like playing soccer, you're nerdy magic gathering,

(07:32):
thank you very much. But also magicians nerds. But it's cool. Hey,
but magicians do, like I love that, Like I go
and I'm just like, that's mine. I feel like all
these things you would end up really enjoy, but you
you just blocked off from them. I'm not blocked off.
I'm legit. Okay, Well, you know what, I think soccer
is nerdy. That's fine. You just don't understand how good stuff.

(07:54):
Not really, I don't. I enjoy being a nerd. I
think that's fun. Yeah okay, Well, I'm like totally geeking
out over something, just like you geek out over teen mom.
It's no different than geeking out over I don't dress
off like the teen moms. I don't go to go,
but you do get excited if you were to meet them. Well, yes, anyway,
that's what happens at these costs. You're meeting the actors. No,

(08:16):
you're not. Yeah, you are dressed up at you're dressed
up as in but they meet the actors. The actors
go too. Yes, I understand. So you meet them and
you get really excited about meeting team. Yeah, and when
I meet him, I'm not dressed up like them. Okay,
but it's a different, different world. It is a different one.
All right. We could be here all day, well, you guys,
we could be because it's Saturday, so let's do it

(08:36):
a long day. You need to hang out with the kids,
which I do. Need an update on the kids, so
we're gonna get to that. Okay, all right, we got
a lot more to talk about. But first up, y'all
can hear what we thought about each other's hobbies and
our first experience with really how that all went down.
Number seven, let's check in with the hobby hat. We
all drew someone else's hobby out of the hat. Let's
go to Raymundo first, because Raymundo Morgan Number two hobbies boxing,

(08:59):
So you drew boxing. I saw you went to title
boxing with her yesterday. Oh yeah, and just straight up
dominated an hour class. She taught me the ropes pretty intense,
but had a fun time. I was watching you. Yeah,
I mean the time they videoed me was when I
was my most tired. It was at like the fifty
minute mark, I was gassed and people kept even my
own wife was like, you'll never be able to box anybody.

(09:22):
You looked really bad and sloppy. I was like, that's
because I was exhausted. I mean, film me the first
minute of my workout, please, Yeah, you like gray sloppy,
But do you feel like you could box someone now
after doing that? No? I mean I would need a lot,
a lot of training. I have a very good left
but my rights week, I don't know how to duck.
There's a lot of that involved. How do you do Morgan?

(09:42):
He had a lot of power, but he just couldn't
seem to figure out to use both hands. He really
liked using his left hand, so we'd need to work
on that hand movement. But honestly, the fact that he
stuck it out for the entire hour with two really
intense trainers, I was super proud of him. Lunch Bucks,
you have to watch birds? What did you do yesterday?
So my neighbors have a bird bath that they haven't

(10:04):
been using. That's just sitting up against their fence. So
I grabbed it, put it in my yard and filled
it up with water and watch the birds twiddle around
in the water. You stole a bird bath from your neighbors,
I wouldn't say stole. It hadn't been used for at
least a year, and it's just been sitting there against
the fence, and I was like, Hey, they don't want it,
they're at work. I'll just borrow for a couple hours.
So I put some water in it and watch the
birds frolic around in the water. Oh cute, Yeah, I

(10:26):
knowed you get a little bath thing? Did you like it?
I was cool to see him frolic It was just like, oh,
look those birds. They really I thought, hell stupid, they're
not gonna come just dance in this water. Well guess what,
they come and dance in the water when you put
it out there. They know how to find water. Amy,
your hobby is to watch the weather from Raimundo. Yeah,
and I'm watching the World's Deadliest Weather. That's my chosen thing.

(10:46):
And the episode I watched yesterday focused on animals and
different things that had happened, And somehow we took a
detour to Thailand where this python or some huge snake
had been washed from his habitat where he lived and
ended up in a sewage system and crawled up a
man's toilet in Thailand and while he was sitting on

(11:07):
his and in Thailand, the toilets are like in the ground,
like it's almost like they're squatting, you know, it's not
like the toilets we have. So any any hoosy, I
don't know how to say. This snake get him came
up and bit him in the cougar the butt or
the nads the two the balls. I said, nads, so
we'd say, look what just happened there? Okay, sorry, I

(11:30):
mean first you censored yourself, then you just went yeah,
you went oh, and then I gave you a word
that would be like middle ground nads. And then you
jumped or you like hurdled that. The whole thing just
awkward for me because I saw, I saw it. I
can't unsee what I saw. I mean, I didn't see that,
but there was it was the scene of the crime,
and they had footage there because I guess news crew

(11:50):
showed up and they all, right, John, we're at we're
gonna check now, bend over here. Here's Clinty. No. But
they were able to successfully rescue you the python and
release it back into the wild. And then the guy
I think is going to be okay, ish, I'm going
probably traumatized for life. But yeah, there's that. So that's
you know, that's the kind of stuff I'm watching things

(12:11):
to ray. Let's check in with Morgan on the diamond art. Tobby,
you drew eddies? Yes? And what are you doing art about?
It's like these little teeny tiny diamonds and I use
a little like pitting little tweezer thing and I take
it and I put it on the paintings. What are
you making? It's like at elephant. It's an elephant, sparkly elephant.
It's a very big elephant. I've barely made a dint

(12:31):
in this thing, Okay, like I've I've spent probably over
an hour and a half doing this, and I think
I barely have maybe put on like a hundred diamonds.
Do you think you'll finish this project in this week
or just give up? I don't think i'll finish it
this week, but I have too much OCD to not
finish it at some point, so I'll finish it. I
just don't think I'm going to make a dint in
it this week, but I'm trying really hard. I gave

(12:52):
Eddie my favorite podcast to listen to, called The Razorback Daily,
Bad Day to listen. I couldn't listen yesterday because I'm
too heartbroken over the loss that makes. Let me tell you,
I mean, I'm just amazed by the fan base. I mean,
the Arkansas fan base is like, so it's all we have.
I mean, you guys are so passionate about this that
the entire podcast sounded like a funeral. Hey, I love it,

(13:15):
I respect it, but man, it was hard to listen
to it because there was so much pain going through
those voices in the podcast. But I'll listen again. Today
I didn't listen, and I always listen. I can't take
it right now. I'm still morning. Hey, they found little
silver linings in there, and I appreciate that. I don't.
I didn't as far as me. I had to watch
teen Mom, and I've now watched a full episode. It's

(13:35):
an hour show, and I watched a full episode. And
so in this first episode, I'm going back ten years.
Do you even remember the stuff lunchbox? I remember some
of it because Farah finds this guy to date and
he is a model too, and then she ends up
finding out that he is cheating on her naval limidating
a few weeks since the whole situation, she drives three
hours to his talent to confront him. And I'm watching

(13:57):
it and I just felt like a loser. I'm an
adult man. I would get if I was a twenty
five year old female. Thirty two year old female, I
get it. But a forty one year old man watching
this show, I'm And Cal's like, what are you watching it?
Because she's like, I don't know, Like I think he's
like probably staying with another girl. She's like, what are you?
What's what's what's happening? I'm like watching teen mong because

(14:19):
let's walk made me for his hobby. No, he didn't
make you. You've made a straw hobbies out of the hat.
And then now we all have to do that. But
it's his hobby, so I have to do it. Gets picked. Um,
so let's see what else happened, And Reportwood goes into
a doctor's office and it's weird. They can get the
camera in with the doctor and the doctor's like, hey,
I think you're depressed. I think you have um some

(14:40):
anxiety issues and she's like, yeah, that's all that happened,
and then it shows the doctor walk out of the room.
So I've watched I'll watched twenty more minutes of it
today or thirty minutes of it today. But I don't
I don't know that I like it through one episode.
But what we have another one to do? Yeah, you've
got a couple more episodes and then you'll be hooked
because you're gonna be invested in motion and they're lives.

(15:00):
I'm telling you, I wouldn't have watched the second episode
if I hadn't been forced to like the one I
want to watch today, I wouldn't have been like, oh,
I got to watch another one. So okay, those are
our hobby check ins for today. It's the best bits
of the week with Morgan. Number two, we brought on
Chase Beckham. He is the latest American Idol winner and

(15:22):
he's so good. He performed an original song with us
that he also performed on American Idol. But he revealed
something during his interview on the show that he says
happened during the finale, and it explained so many things
that fans were wondering about his face during his reaction
to winning the whole show, and it'll blow your mind

(15:43):
because you're like, wait, why did that happen? How did
that happen? That can happen again? Trust me. Listen to
this interview and then go watch his performance at Bobby
Bones dot Com number six on The Bobby Bones Show. Now,
Chase Beckham Chase one, American Idol. Has it been like
crazy since you want? Have you been NonStop? Yeah? It's

(16:03):
been tired, a little tired, but I'm good. Every day
has been pretty much a new challenge, you know, new
things to do and people to meet, and you know,
I pretty much got to go home for a few
days and then flew right out here. So do you
have a place that you're going to live in Nashville already?
I'm looking so I haven't had time to shop yet,
and so I'm gonna go shop around starting like Monday
through Thursday next week, I'll be around look at looking

(16:25):
at places. Well, your life has just been completely changed, man,
in the last six months. Yeah. Completely. Who would have
thought And you can tell me if you thought this
or not. When you go on American Idol, you know
you have to get convinced to go and basically audition
for that show smash cut. Here we are and you're
in this studio thinking of a moving across the country
with the record deal about to pursue like a life,

(16:46):
like a real life life and country music. You make
it sound really really crazy. I guess I don't think
about it, you know, like that. It's just something I've
been working hard at for a long time. So it's
nice to kind of finally get somewhere with it, you know,
and just the hard work paying off. It feels really good,
I guess. But yeah, I think I sat down the
other day and I was reading some articles and I

(17:07):
listened to twenty three for the first time, Like I
listened to it and like, just the whole story, like
the way it all kind of played out, just like
brought me to tears. I was like, this is crazy
that this is my life now and I get to
kind of carry on doing these things that I love,
you know, because it was about a year ago that
I was blue collar, you know, working my tail off
in the sun all day and kind of you know,

(17:28):
wake up every day and you're like, man, we got
to go do this again. And now it's like I
wake up every day and I'm like, yes, I get
to go do these things, and I get to enjoy
my life and I get, you know, meet all these
awesome people. So well some of them are awesome someone.
But here's the thing. Your blue collar job, because we listened,
it was focused on a lot an American idol. They
took you back and you had to put the jacket
back on. You get back in the little truck. You do,
but what were you doing? What was your specific job?

(17:50):
When you wake up in the morning, you would go
on and do what. Yeah, I wake up in the morning,
usually get down. It takes me about a hour to
get to work, and I'll be down at working about
six thirty in the morning. And yeah, you get there
and you got to start pretty much operating everything that's
in the yard. We organized it. Pull it off the trucks,
put it on the trucks, you fill it up with fuel,
wash it, clean it, fix it if it's broken, put

(18:11):
the different attachments on it for all the job sites.
So like a forklift like we're talking about here, backhoes,
water trucks, boom scissor lifts. Everything you can think of
pretty much anything that has to do with construction, I
learned how to operate it. Did you think that that
is what you would be doing for the rest of
your life? I always thought. I was like, I can
be an operator, and I can make decent money being

(18:32):
an operator, and that was kind of mine. You know.
It was either that or driving trucks. My dad's a
truck driver, and so my uncle and my grandfather they're
all truck drivers. So I was like, man, I can
make some good money doing that. Take care of my family,
you know, because there wasn't much for me, you know,
I didn't go to college, and there was music, and
so it was like, it's either music or you know,
get a good job working blue collar. Chase Beckham's here

(18:53):
we one American Idol. But to go an audition for
that show? Did someone have to kind of twitch your
arm and convince you? Yeah? I wasn't willing for me.
I didn't. I didn't jump at the opportunity, to say
the least. But my parents definitely were believing in me
the most. Whenever I had kind of given up all
myself and all my dreams and stuff, they had pushed

(19:14):
me to pursue, you know, the American Idol journey and
thought that I would do well. I didn't. None of
us thought that I would like win or anything like.
We thought that it would you know, hopefully I'd get
on and get to do some of the live shows
and just get a little bit of exposure. So yeah,
I had like this goal. By I was twenty five.
If I didn't get anywhere music, I was gonna quit,
like just give up, and I'm twenty five. Next month

(19:34):
sow all panned out. They would go before I would
talk with Chase, because what they do was with me.
They they go, Okay, here's everything we've been beating him
up about. I'm gonna walk in and you'd be like,
hey man, so here are gonna quit music? If it
just didn't work out for you, it'd be real dramatic.
And Chase is about the most prepared for this show
I've ever seen anybody like. He was never rattled, he

(19:56):
was never thought. He never thought if he lost, he
was dead, and he never thought if he won he
was gonna be a superstar. He was just the most
emotionally prepared person I've ever seen on that show. Because
you were never too high, never too low, but you
were always ready to go. And I'd be like all right, Chase.
They'd be like all right, now, really get him repped up,
and I'd be like, that's my thing. Either, it's not
my thing to go in and really like you know

(20:17):
whoa you know, like I have my style and they're like,
go in and I'd be like, all right, Chase, if
you don't do this, they're gonna push the guilty and
cut your head off. And he'd be like, you know
what that happens, I'm okay with that, And I'm like,
all right, all right, well listen, man, I'm super pumped
that you're here. I told you, like, let's go move
to Nashville. I think you are as ready to be
a star as anyone I've ever seen coming off that show.

(20:38):
And I have been on that show four years now.
Thanks man, just because you're ready to work, you know. Yeah,
That's what I keep on telling everybody at the label.
I'm like, let's put me in a studio right now. Like,
I'm not trying to sit around and I want to go, like,
you know, I want to get my feet on the
ground and start running. Well, let's hear twenty three because
this is the song that you play. It just it

(21:01):
crushed the charts. You know, we saw it go to
number one and like different different streaming charts, digital charts,
and listen. I was surprised, not that the song is
not good, but I was surprised to see so many
people gravitate to it that quickly. Right, And when you
play a song like this on the show, I got
to imagine that people that are watching start hitting you
up and go, oh man. I felt that, like, like,

(21:22):
I appreciate you saying that. Did that happened a lot.
I mean, it was a song for me that it was,
you know, talking about me dealing with a lot of
my personal issues in life and kind of just telling
a piece of my life, not my whole life story,
but just kind of a piece of it. And you know,
it was just cool to watch how many people will
connect on that song in different levels, because like, for me,
it was talking about like trying to you know, ease
up on drinking and get my life together. And I

(21:43):
see videos of people and they're partying and they're drinking
and they're singing twenty three and they're having a good time,
and I'm like, hey, dude, like if that's what it
is to you, then that's what it is to you.
That's cool. Who am I to tell you that you
have to listen to the song in a different way.
But then there's also tons of people who are like, man,
that song really gets me, you know what I mean?
So I love that it's like acceptable in that many
different areas kind of This is the first song, by

(22:04):
the way of just the fun fact, the first single
that the actual winner wrote. Does it make sense because
usually fancy songwriters go in They're like, all right, let's
all get in a room. We'll create a scientific probability
what songs should we But Chase wrote this and he won,
and this is the single first time ever, So I
think that's some you know that, that's really some validation
to you as a songwriter as well. I didn't even
know that until like the other day. They just told

(22:25):
me that. I was like, that's really cool. You know,
I have no idea. So all right, here's Chase Beckham
performing his song twenty three. Now I'm twenty three and
the nobody who could drink like me soon now be
twenty four. Lord knows that Kane Drake no more. I

(22:47):
know I should have taken this loop. It's not blue
either in my life goon. Lord, I know when you're
past out love flow, you're sober bout twenty four. Simple

(23:23):
as my mama said when I was very young, she
told me, now to word it, son one, you'll be someone.
But here I am Matt twenty one. It's loaded as
a stagecoach shotgun. I'm sorry, Mama, Please don't look at me.

(23:58):
Nice chase back this here. We won American Idol. Do
you know what season of American Idol? That was? Season
four on ABC? Season nineteen? That's right, Season four on ABC?
Is the way to answer that. I've learned that through
a lot of prayer. Yes, it's right. Hey, So when
you win this show, I read and I didn't know
what they gave you exactly. It says that winners get
two hundred fifty thousand dollars. I guess I don't. I

(24:20):
keep on checking my bank acteunt nothing yet. Honestly, I
didn't know that. Back in the day, the rumor was
they gave you a million. Yeah, that rumor wasn't true.
What I read was the popularity of the winners went down,
so they paid them less. Okay, but the show, every show, right,
is not what it used to be. It doesn't matter,
you know, because you know American Idol W I was

(24:41):
a kid, was massive and was twenty five million people.
Where you're, you know, playing to seven or eight million people,
which is still great, but just in general, everything is
down a bit. Exactly what I mean. Look at you,
You're rich now I think it's this guy. I'm not
rich yet, but I'm gonna do everything i can to
get there. You know. Well, let me say this, I'm
super pumped that you're here, and I think you're a
star and it's just gonna be crazy to watch you grow. Man,

(25:03):
you are the most prepared for this if anyone, and
you know I've hung out with the hundreds of people
on that show. You are the most prepared. You have
the talent, you have the work ethic, you have, the skill,
you have the story like you couldn't be any more
of a of a guy that moved to this town
and makes it so. I'm proud of you. Man, Thanks dude.
And I told you, yeah, four Max Knights on the
couch if you're completely lost, I told you can't stay

(25:24):
any more than four nights, but ye have four nights.
If you're looking for a place. I think I've already
purchased more guitars than I would be able to bring
over bring over to your Hell yeah, man, there's no way.
So all right, there he is Chase Beckham. When they
called your name? What was going through your head? Could
you believe it? Or do you think Willy was gonna win? Okay,
So here's something about the moment that I that I
that they called my name, because a lot of people
have asked me like, oh, he didn't seem surprised, and

(25:46):
this is a whole I've never said this to anybody,
but this is actually what happened. That card is huge, right,
and Ryan was right next to me. You saw it.
That's awesome. I haven't told that to anybody. This is
the first time that story has been told. Literally, as
I saved that for you, Bobby. But Ryan standing there
and he's like in the winter is and like looks

(26:06):
at it and I'm like, that's this year, and I
was like, that's so like if you watch the video,
I go like this because I didn't want to look
at it, so I just want like this. That's when
I accepted it. And then he said my name, and
everybody's like, you didn't seem surprised, and I was like,
because my name is massive across this giant gold card
and I was like, yeah, so I don't know. It

(26:27):
was like I saw it maybe like ten seconds before
he said my name, so what was going through my head?
Was like, Okay, this is really like I had like
ten seconds to prepare to sing twenty three basically. So wow,
that's good. That's a good story. I didn't know that either.
I didn't wonder if Willie saw it. Wasn't him, I
hope not, because you know, I don't. I don't know. Yeah,
it's so weird, man, It's like it's such an awkward

(26:48):
situation because you yeah, I mean, but a lot of
people were like, oh, you just seem so so chill,
and I was like, I don't, well, I'm normally like that.
But still at the same time, it was like I
saw it ten seconds prior to actually getting my name called.
So that's funny. What was going through my name? Brian?
Brian pulls up a poster board. I can't believe he

(27:08):
didn't see it. All right, let'sen follow Chase on Instagram. Chase,
but it's h a y ce Chase back on music
is going to be a star, no doubt about it.
You guys check out twenty three since your parents were
such a big part of you doing that and you won,
Like what, so what do they get? What do they get? Um?
My parents are definitely I owe every all of my

(27:30):
success I owe to them. They they definitely I gave
up on Like we went through some hard, hard times,
you know, and so I gave up one hundred percent
all myself almost as a person, you know. And they
were the ones who were like, no, you can do this,
and you can you can be somebody, you can chase
down your dream. They believed in me more than I
ever believed in myself. So um, for the rest of

(27:52):
my life, I owe them everything and giving them everything
that I can. And that's why I try to come
out and do these things so I can take care
of my family and make sure that they're taking care
of and that they don't ever have to worry about
anything because they've worried about me plenty. So I just
want to be able to give back to them, you know,
for the rest of my life through music. So yeah,
I was just kind of joking, but I'm sure that

(28:12):
I mean about what they get from it. But I'm
sure them seeing you win and then now take off
on something that's been your dreams is a gift enough
for them just to see that you're you're living it up.
It means the world to me to know that they're
actually proud, you know, that I've actually accomplished something in
my life. And from going from doing a lot of
you know, bad stuff and to getting into, you know,
doing things that they can you know, go and say

(28:34):
that they're proud. They're talking to the newspapers, and it's
cool for them to get to experience that, knowing all
the stuff that we've been through as a family. So yeah,
I mean, my mom can't even go. She's like a
little antique shopper and she goes and buys and flips
antiques and she loves picking. So she can't even go
do that anymore without people bombarding her and saying, oh,
you're Chase's mom. We you know, we've seen you on TV.

(28:55):
So yeah, she gets her kicks out of it. She's
here in Nashville right now. Actually she can't with me,
so she's just chilling at the hotel. There is Chase Beckham, Chase,
good to see you. Welcome to a life of singing
in the morning. You know I remember singing in the morning. Yeah,
this is the first ten million Buddy Chase Beckham, everybody,

(29:16):
it's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
I'm so excited to get lunchboxes thoughts on this because
we brought on a professional cuddlest on our show. She's
a professional cuddler where she basically uses cuddle therapy to
help her clients. I want to know what you thought

(29:36):
about all of this line. I mean it is you
want to okay, you want to talk about people that
go to a cuddler. They got to be kookie as crap.
They got to be the weirdest people you've ever met.
To go and into some stranger's place and hear say
hold me, like how weird? And the fact that she
actually gets paid to do it so strange because I

(29:57):
get you get some weird, strange people. And what if
they smell bad? Because I ain't cuddling with someone that
smells bad. Do you make them go out in and
take a shower? Do you say, hey, sorry, your hygiene's
not up to my cuddling standards. Can you jump in
the shower real quick? Like? Oh yeah, but is it
not like lost on you that she's making hundred dollars
per these clients. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm amazed

(30:19):
that people pay one hundred dollars an hour to cuddle someone.
Would you consider switching your profession to do that? I
mean I feel yes to get paid one hundred dollars
an hour. I mean you would only have to work
a couple hours a day. But let me ask you this,
because I feel like it rivals therapy. Now it's just
another form. It's called cuddle therapy. Have you ever been

(30:41):
to therapy? No? Never in your life, not by yourself,
not with anybody else, stuffing. No, Well that's probably why
it's hard to understand. I feel like, if you've been
to the massage therapy, I give you a massage, absolutely amazing.
Let me tell you, I had never had a massage before,
and I was like, that is so weird. And I
went and I had this lady rub all over my body.

(31:02):
She put these oils on me, and I mean she
got in there with her elbows and you feel these
knots going out, and I was just like, this is
the greatest thing that's ever happened to me and it
was so amazing, so amazing, And I mean they saw
a sucker written on my forehead because I bought a
name membership because I was like, I need to come
to this one so you get a massage once a month. Yeah,

(31:26):
they are so good. I tell you. You know, you
feel so relaxed when you leave that place, like I mean,
sometimes it's so relaxing. This is how bad it is.
I fall asleep, which is terrible, but that doesn't surprise
me because you can fall asleep like that, right which,
by the way, I just snap. Did you know that
when you snap it's actually your finger hitting your your hand? Yeah, okay,

(31:49):
we can get back to that later. Yeah, you know.
I couldn't. I couldn't snap until the seventh grade. I
can't whistle. Actually it was sixth grade, my bad. It
was Miss Jordan's. It was her English class and we
had to have a journal and we had to write
down three wishes and we couldn't wish for more money

(32:10):
or more wishes, and then you wish to be able
to snap. I wished I could snap, And so by
the end of sixth grade, I could snap. Did somebody
teach you? I know? Because I can't snap with my
right hand. So you believe in wishes genies. I guess
so because it came true, Like that's amazing. That is
amazing that I had never been able to. And then

(32:33):
by the end of the year, my sixth grade year,
Miss Jordan her little journal boom. So that's what you're
telling me to do so I can be able to whistle.
I just need to write it down and be like
I wish and I could whistle. That's lunchbox, it's not me.
That's what mind sounds like. That's funny. Yeah, I can't
get that's terrible. So yeah, so I got massages. I

(32:55):
got I can snap, but yeah, I fall asleep during
the massage. And sometimes I feel like, man, you're wasting
your massage because you're not enjoying it. But maybe I'm
enjoying it so much I fall asleep. Do you ever
come out the few times I've gotten massages and you've
only got it a few times? You m too, you
are missing out of life. Massages are what life is about.
I have definitely, I mean something I never knew existed,

(33:17):
like a personal massage thing at my house. I just
it's really hard for me, just like the national massage
thing at your like the little things that you can
buy and you just put it on you and then massage.
It's not the same was that ladies hands rubbing into
your muscles? But didn't let me tell you, it's really
hard for me to justify, like I only allow myself

(33:38):
to eat out like once a week. It's really hard
for me to justify buying things that I can do
on my own, Like I don't get my nose toads.
I hate say I don't spend money on anything. I
am the cheapest individual you will ever meet. Like, I
don't spend money period, but that massage and change your life,
change your life. You're upsets. We found we found the LaunchBox.

(33:59):
The biggest passion in life, my biggest passion. But I'm
telling you I never knew until about three years ago
how amazing they were because I was so anti massages.
I was like, that's so weird. I'm not like that
could happen with a lot of things that you're very
tie no, no, because that the feeling that you leave
there and you're just like man, your eyes can like

(34:20):
you walk out in the sun, you can barely open
your eyes because you're so relaxed. It's amazing, I know.
But I'm just thinking you have like this polarizing personality
where you're either like all or nothing. Right. Yeah, feel
like maybe with some other things that you're like nope, never,
just how you were with massages that one day you

(34:40):
could turn and be like, oh my gosh, this is
the greatest thing ever. And I held out on my
pe What else could there be? I don't know, different foods,
it's something that you're very like ranch no. No, Like
I smell ranching. It makes me almost vomit. I feel
like he finally opened your mind to massages, and now
you're obsessed. That could happen if I did cuddling, Like,

(35:02):
if I did this cuddling, maybe it would be amazing.
In this weird looking lady, you know, like strange, Like
I imagine this is what I imagine a cuddler. I
imagine her to be some lady that is a pack rat,
you know, like uh, a hoarder. And you walk in
and she's got like crystal balls everywhere and beads hanging

(35:24):
in her room and she's got that. Dude, you're imagining
a psychic right now. You're actually imagining That's exactly what
I picture. Is someone like that that has fifty two cats,
someone no one has come to visit her in twenty years. Well,
she kind of have fifty two cats. If she's cuddling,
you can't. You don't know, that's profession. That is what

(35:46):
I imagine cuddler's places to look like. Okay, well I
have a feeling that's not. But I would encourage you
to open your mind. Would you would you get cuddled
if I your fine? Oh? If I did it recently
get in a relationship and I was going on being
single for three years, had I gone on a few

(36:08):
more years being single, yeah, I'd be open to it.
You know why, because human touch is important. Like just
she mentioned that in that interview. She was like, human
touch is so important, and you don't realize that until
you are genuinely single for a long time and you're like, wow,
I don't realize, like just how much holding somebody's hand
makes you feel really good? Does that make sense? No,

(36:30):
that makes sense. I get it. Like I've touched a
lot of humans in my life. I have like we
do not need to go out that. No, I'm talking
about just in life. I've met a lot of humans
and hugs and you know like, okay, well you said touch.
We should have specified before. Well yeah, when you hug someone,
you touched him like you said, holding hands is touching.
I don't know where your mind goes on a Saturday

(36:51):
and gone it goes there. I apologize because you need
to get your mind out of the gutter or I
am keeping it, you know, because because that doesn't happen
in cuddling. It's just it's all about the cuddle. It's
all um what they call platonic. Yes, yeah, it's just friends. Yeah, which,
so yeah, it had I been single longer, I think
I would be open to it, because why not? I

(37:12):
mean no, because because Sushi talks about how like you
talk about things, and it's kind of like this nurturing
feeling and being nurtured feels good. Okay, here's the thing.
If I walked into a cutting place and Jennifer Lawrence
is sitting there and she wanted she's the one cuddling me,
I'm probably all for it. Well, I guess it's just
a preference thing. You never know what they look like.

(37:32):
They look like all kinds of people. Yea, so I probably,
but I could be a Jennifer Lawrence looking girl, it
would probably, but I would I I would be fairly
optimistic that it's not going to be Jennifer Lawrence looking
like when I go to cuddle. Let's just keep your
mind open, because I have a feeling something else is
going to happen on the show that you might have
to do this. Man. Okay, well listen to this interview

(37:57):
because honestly, it's really good. I enjoyed it. Lunchbox laughed
pretty much the whole time, but I thought it was
really funny, and I thought her job is really cool
about what she can do for people, especially people you know,
with mental health issues and stuff. So just listen to this,
keep your mind open. Maybe you'll laugh, maybe you'll see
a new job opportunity. Who knows number five on the

(38:19):
phone right now is professional cuddler Keiley. Shoot Keila. Let
me say, I'm very excited to talk to you. Thank
you for joining our radio program this morning. Thank you
so much for having me on the show. I'm so
excited to share with you now. There's a lot of
curiosity in me about what services you provide as a
professional cuddler, So just like lay it out to me. Like,

(38:40):
I meet you and I'm like, hey, what do you
do for a living? Like, tell me what you do?
So human touch, the need is just as much of
a human need as orders as anything else that we
would need for sustenance and for healthy lives. So what
I do is I provide a safe, structured environment for
people to access platonic touch to help with symptoms of

(39:02):
depression and anxiety, to help with loneliness and staving off
touch deprivation. That's kind of pandemic in our cultures, beyond
the other pandemic that we deal with. And so when
you started to get in this line of work, did
people look at you and go, huh, a cuddlest I
can't believe that you'd actually try to make money doing that. Absolutely,

(39:23):
I've been doing this work for about six years now,
and that has very commonly been the reaction from people.
And it's a shame because I think that it's so
universally needed, but people don't necessarily know that they need it.
I read too that you charge one hundred dollars per hour. Now,
is that is that the high high dollar client or
is that just normal? You're gonna go cuddle for one

(39:44):
hundred bucks an hour. The industry standard is about eighty
bucks are and then the more experience and the more
certifications that you have, the higher that rate goes. But
also if you put it in line with traditional talk therapies,
with traditional like these counsel it's about on par do
you walk cuddling also talk? Is there anything off limits

(40:08):
to talk about? I'm just trying to imagine what we
would do if I paid you to come cuddle. Yeah,
absolutely so, yes, talking is certainly an option. One of
the things that's not understood necessarily in the name right
professional cuddler. You wouldn't know. There's also a whole lot
of boundaries and consent education that goes on. We work
on getting people to sometimes process trauma, so we're talking

(40:30):
about a lot of stuff. It can be a really
casual fun just like nurturing environment, and it can also
be pretty intense therapeutic practice on with us now, cuddlest
Keiley Shoop And it sounds like you're on an airplane
now when you're talking about cuddling out loud. Do you
think are people like looking at you going, what a
is she talking about? She's a professional cuddler. Yeah, I'm

(40:51):
getting off an airplane in a X X right now
and I'm looking at no one's really given me a
side eye, but they're also probably being polite. So, as
a professional cuddler, do you ever get creeps? They hit
you up and like hey, I want to cuddle, you know,
and then they sound like a weird emoji. That is
a great question, and you know, the word creeps is
pretty loaded. So what I will say is there are
some people who don't necessarily understand the therapeutic service that

(41:14):
I've provided are looking for something else. What I tend
to do with those people is have a conversation. All
potential clients get a screening call, and if they are
looking for something I provide, I first and validate that
need and desire in them, say that it's normal and
human and I'm just not the right place to necessarily
get that needs met. So it's like if you were
going to a cardiologist and asking them to help treat cancer,

(41:36):
you need to go to an on Callegi for that.
No disrespect, no shame, just a different specialty. So if
someone says I need to cuddle, will you travel to
them or do they come to your space? I typically
host traveling INCURSI travelty, and so it's just a bit
more cost effective and more convenient for me to be
able to host in my space. I can also I've

(41:56):
got a cuddle studio, so it is an environment that
already catered. When people go to like their homes or whatnot,
you've got all your stresses of your life in that space.
You've got your your dogs, or you're piled up mail,
whatever it is, there's such a destruction. So I can
create a way more choosing in specific environment. If you
guys want to see what Keiley's all about at Chicago

(42:18):
Cuddle Therapy or Keiley shoot dot com or shower is
it shoup or shot? How do you say your last name? Keyey? Shoot?
You got all right? Okay, so Shoup, Keiley, shoop dot com.
So you're part of this part of this dumb question.
But because I've never heard of anyone doing this, like
are you rich? Is this? Are you poor? Like are
you able to support yourself? Like what kind of livestock
can you live being a professional cuddler? Yeah, I totally

(42:41):
appreciate the question. I don't believe that I am rich.
I live in Chicago, I'm able to like live in
the city in a place that I share with my partner,
and so, um, I live comfortably in middle class. I
suppose your partner do they care that you cuddle other folks?
Are they like you must have learned that cuttling someone else?
I don't know, is it? Does that affect a relationship

(43:03):
at all? No, it doesn't. They're very proud and appreciative
of the therapeutic work I do. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, Like
my mind's a little blown right now that because I'm
sure this is needed. I mean, she went to college
at ball State? Is that correct? Yeah? Exactly. Right after
Ball State, I went to Chicago and I was working
at a mortgage company when I found out about cut
lists and the great working to do and got a

(43:26):
certification program. The training program is super quality from cut
lists and yeah, so it was a very different the
avenue that I took my life down from where I started.
Aby have any questions for the professional cuta lists? Yeah,
I mean, well, first I was worried about your safety
at times. But if they're coming to you, then I
guess that that helps. But have you ever had to

(43:46):
end a session because someone like you just got awkward
or weird and you're like, oh, okay, we gotta stop cuttling.
You need to leave. Yeah, in the six ships I've
been doing it, that has happened maybe three times, and
all that is, and I never felt that I was
in any physical danger or there are some people who

(44:07):
did not get it, just didn't get that it's therapeutic
and that's the point of it. And so before it
went any further, I said, you know, let's stop. I
don't want to waste your time anymore. And I certainly
don't want my time wasted. We're gonna go ahead and end.
You can get a refund. Let's just end this. Well,
that was all it was. What about tickling on or
off limits? It depends. So I hate surprise tickling. That's

(44:30):
not a thing I enjoy. However, if it's something that
someone so I have had clients who want to play
and like really be in this state of like think
about a little kid playing and so in that mindset,
I can kind of get my head wrapped around it
and be okay with it. But I like I have
to be in the mindset. I guess if a married couple, right,

(44:50):
if it's the guy, I'm just gonna hypothetical here, if
the guy who's married comes in and goes, hey, I
need to pay you to cuddle with me. Does the
wife feel like, why are why do you have to
go to someone to cuddle like I'm right here? Does
that situation never happen? It absolutely does. And one thing
I love is that I've got several clients with spouses
who send their spouses like send them to me. They're like, no,

(45:13):
no, no no, no, I don't need as much touch as
you are. As you do my love language is like
they act of service or it's quality time and you
are too snugly and huggy and touchy for me, Go
be cleaning with someone else and then you can come
home and we can have this really full, fulfilled and
happy relationship. Or you're getting your needs met and I
don't have to do it. And again part of my
dumb question here, because I just this is all new

(45:35):
to me. Do people ever come and feel like they're
like want to be a baby, Like there's something happened
when they were a baby, and they're like wanting to
be a baby, and it's like rocked. Yeah, Like like
treat me like a low boo boo baby and like
burt me and is that ever a thing. Okay, so
not quite in the way that you're talking about. There
is such a thing as like age regression therapy, and

(45:57):
that just simply deals with everyone one has a young
part of themselves. It is simply a part of our
personalities that are still fairly young or that remember those nurturing,
loving feelings when we were kids. And some people want
to go and sometimes heal some of their childhood wounds,
and so we will do a little bit of age regression.

(46:18):
But there isn't any burping involved. There's no diapers involved,
none of the more extreme things that people like think
about when they think about that. If I ever go,
I've read stories I've read like children's books to clients
before because that was a really their like really comforting experience,
like you hit them with some Burnsteen bears right in
the middle of it, and yeah, yeah, look clever with

(46:39):
the big red dog for sure. Okay, So when I
used to wait tables, I ate so much chicken that
when I got home, I don't want to eat any
more chicken because there was always extra chicken at the
end of the night. So they were like, hey, we
have chicken if you want to eat it before you
go eat the chicken, and so I was burnt of chicken.
Now do you get burnt of cuddling when you go home?

(47:00):
You don't want to cuddle because you've been cuddling all
day at work, never, not once? Okay, I have an
infinite capacity, the capacity for cuddles. I might need like
sleep and to do other things, but no, I pretty
much always want to snuggle, and I think not that's
not true for everyone, right, But that's one of the

(47:20):
reasons why I'm suited for this, because I frog and
love it. She is a cuddlist, a professional cuddlest Keiley Shoop.
You can follow her on Instagram or just go see
what she's all about at Chicago Cuddle Therapy Keiley Shoop
dot com. We have a guy in the show name Lunchbox.
It's sitting back. He cannot believe this is even a thing.
He's I'm gonna let him ask one question. I don't

(47:41):
know what he's gonna ask and if it's inappropriate to
just say, hey, I don't want to answer that. Keieley,
and I give you full full good Okay, dude, I
just want to let you know I don't know what's
coming Okay, Lunchbox, you get one question. I want to
know what you wear when you're cuddling. That's a good question. Yeah, no,
totally fair question. I typically were like yoga pants or

(48:03):
some like sweatpants or something comfortable depending on the temperature.
And a T shirt. There is a minimum of like
outerwear shorts like basketball shorts, not boxers or and a
six strap tanked up. That's the minimum required of both participants.
Do you spoon or you big spoon? That's a great question,

(48:23):
and I love it so either. And one of my
favorite things is that a lot of times guys will
come in have a session and they've never banned a
little spoon, and a lot of them are really surprised
to find out how really comforting and like kind of
lovely it is to be the little spoon. You can
give them the opportunity and that's awesome. Yeah. I love

(48:44):
a little spoon live, so I fully appreciate that. All right, well,
listen you this has been quite eye opening to me. Yeah, lunchbox,
we already gave you one. So she's she's in the
air pie, don't okay, real quick? Do you cuddle in
the bed under the covers? How does it work? Oh,
I typically do not cuddle in bet so. My Cuttle
studio has this lovely gigantic couch and I've got a

(49:08):
lot of um like a futon mattress laid out, so
it's really lovely, but it's not a bed just because
of the association. For people, it's kind of hard to
get your mind out of the like preconceived notion of
what that means, right, And is it like to when
you go get a massage where they picked the music
and it's like wow, or do they get to pick
like their own radio playlist? So either or I can

(49:30):
provide music. But one of the my favorite things there's
some clients will actually create or curate their own playlist
based on the mood they want, the emotions they want
to feel, the vibe that they want to set, and
that can be really cool. They oh, sorry, well we're
out of time real quick, Amy, Well did they ever
start crying? Yes, all the time. All emotions are welcome

(49:52):
in sessions. People cry like all the time. There she is, Wow,
a fascinating interview. Here can I come with cutless Kiely
follow her at Chicago Cuttle Therapy, Keiley shoot dot com.
One hundred bucks an hour. Wo did you fly to
LA to cuddle for having me? Oh? Yeah, of course
did you fly to LA to cuddle? I am flying

(50:12):
La too. Both have fun and to work, right, Yes,
all right, thank you Keiley, have a wonderful day. Thank
you so much. Right byebye, and listen, here's the thing, right,
I also acknowledge that's really weird. It is right Like
to me I hear this, I'm like, wow, I can't
lease some make one hundred bucks cuddling, but apparently people
some people need that. It sounds legit like I was

(50:34):
hearing it as like, oh, this is kind of intimate. Yeah, weird,
and like why would someone do that? But I can see,
based on what she was saying, how it can be
therapeutic for some And it sounds like she has healthy
boundaries with it, and there's rules and guidelines and people
can't get carried away or they'll be asked to leave.
I feel like you need security there all the time watching, Yeah,
like you need somebody else standing standing right over the

(50:54):
top of you, going herb are you doing that? Yeah?
And it also sounds like she's not the only one
doing like she went to school for there's an industry
staying she's a certified cuddlest It's the best bits of
the week. With Morgan. Number two, we had the full
band of Old Dominion in the studio. Matt Ramsey had
been in an accident, you know, a few weeks ago,

(51:16):
so we brought him on this show just to talk
about his accident. But now we finally got to bring
the whole band in. They were reunited. They're getting ready
to go back on tour together, so they talked about
what rehearsals have been like for them. Plus they also
performed their first ever hit, their last hit, and their
latest hit, which is so many Old Dominion songs and
every time they perform it's just so good. So definitely

(51:38):
listen to this interview and then watch it back at
Bobbybones dot Com. Number four on the Bobby Bones Show. Now,
what's up, Fellas? What this is like delayed? You were
supposed to be in a couple of weeks ago whenever
I was on a boat that day came out, but
obviously weren't because Matt was hurt. But let me ask
you this, and Trevor, I'll ask you try. By the way,

(52:00):
was on the keys right now? Yes, if for some reason.
You're a guys are playing a big show and he
gets hurt like he did. Could you pull off playing
a whole show without him and just singing the songs?
You guys couldn't pull off something? Okay, what if you're
seventy five? No, no, you're gone. It's a big TV event.

(52:23):
They're like getting paid a lot would want it because
you're all, you're like cut if he's not all. I
just wonder, because you're all so good at everything you do,
you could all break off and be solo writers performers.
I just wonder if one who would step up? If
it's like all right, if we don't step up, everybody
dies on earth? Like, who would have to step up

(52:43):
and sing different? I think we can handle it, but
you would just you would just can't. For the most part.
You just cut the show and say we're not doing it.
I just like, maybe put some tattoos on. Think tattoos, Yeah,
a little mohawk thing, yeah? I mean YouTube do look similar?
We looked similar. I don't want to call him out,
but we saw a group once and they were playing

(53:05):
and they looked very similar, and they were big clothes
and one of their guys was gone, and they just
dressed up a random dude like them. They got up
on stage and played with them. It's it's Midland. They
just had to get because they dress you know, they haven't.
They just dressed up some dude that's one of middling
and he got up there and just act like he
was middling for a show, real show. Yeah yeah in
DC right edits right? Wow? So was it Mark though? No,

(53:30):
it wasn't. But it was one of the other two
of middling. We could pull that up if I had
to miss the show. So mad, are you better? Are
you healthy? I'm about eighty five percent? Can you jog
or anything? I don't jog anyway? Can you? Can you
exercise at all? So no, I haven't exercise since. Okay,
Well you look like you're in great shape. I thought

(53:52):
you come in like twenty pounds heavier because you couldn't
do anything. I've been eating a lot of junk. Yeah no,
I didn't say you did. Did come in twenty pounds heavier? Thought?
All dominion is here. So what I want to do
with you, guys? I want to do first song, last song,
and then current song. And I was looking back and
your first song that went number one was break Up
with Him back in twenty fifteen. That is insane to

(54:12):
me to think that twenty fifteen was that. I mean
that that seems like yesterday to me. I don't know
about you guys, it does. I saw this like post
that somebody posted like a timeline. They said, you know
when radio stations say the hits of the eighties and
nineties and today, there's been twenty one years of today today. Yeah,
like that. You can't get away with that anymore. I mean,

(54:32):
I remember, it does feel like in some ways twenty
fifteen was like yesterday, but it also seems like a
long time ago. Just remember the first time you guys
came in here, and you know, the studio set up
was a little different. You guys came and when you
played song, I was like, dank, guys are good. But
that just that's seven years ago. That is wild, And
you guys now have eight number one. So and I
wouldn't even say it's quietly, but you guys have kind

(54:53):
of taken over. Like if you guys put out a
song now, people it's a whole new level of people
expect it to be a hit. Now it's no more
putting out a song going, I wonder if this will
do good, and it's like, if it's not a number
one song, you guys will be disappointed? Him I right, yes, yes, yes,
And what a good place to be though, I know
like that that's a whole new level of success to
where if we don't hit number one, we're disappointed, different

(55:15):
than I wonder if if it's a chart I wonder
if this will be top twenty. Yeah, it's a little
scary to be there too. I mean, it feels really good,
but it's also like, man, well it's also too if
it doesn't do the best every time, we're not doing it.
But to me, like my opinion, you can't even think
about that. It's like we have to like completely ignore
that side of it when we're writing and when we're recording.
It's like we have to always remember, like we started

(55:36):
out going, what do we like to play, what do
we like, what do we like to listen to? And
that's that has to still be the way it is.
We can't even think about what other people are gonna
like or it won't work. Yeah, I get it, you
guys do that, but I don't. I'm like, this better
be number one where I'm Out all right from twenty fifteen.
Old Dominion is here. This is their first hit. Here
is break up with Him? Girl. You know I can't

(56:00):
like a band, dame. Yeah, I set saying again, I
don't love break up? Where are you looking? You can't tell?
In love with him? Break up with him? Break up?

(56:26):
Come on? Sounds like a record. Great job, guys. I
like to do a little Old Dominion band spotlight Brad Jersey, Brad,
Here's I want to do because I'm watching you and
I think you should be acknowledged, hight, How good of
a player you are. That's solo on an acoustic and
maybe you need to give your rhythm to go with it.
But can you play that with nothing else? I mean,

(57:01):
he doesn't even make crazy like I made the crazy
face nervous for you guitar solo. That's depend they're like
doing the face. I was doing the face. That's how
much I was feeling it when you were doing it.
It's a good one to sing in the shower, give
it a show. Yeah you do it. Jeff does a
trumpet style in the shower and then and then on
like the breakdown part where it's like you know and
and uh you know, no guitars and um, you're doing

(57:25):
the keys, Trevor, and it's like you're just plungk clungk clu.
That's that's pretty the awesome impression of how he plays keys.
It's like tell me that, yeah, and bring it on.
That's pretty. Yeah, that's it. That's awesome. See. I think
you guys are so good and together. It is the

(57:49):
super the real musicians in town that no way, no way,
no Hopefully Wells is listening right now. Let me say this,
let me do plug for you guys before we get
into it. They are doing a live at the Ballpark
tour July seventeenth, the Ballpark at Jackson in Jackson, Tennessee.
They're playing in in Fresno, one of our favorite places

(58:10):
in Fresno. They're playing in Traverse City, Michigan. They're playing
in altune To, Pennsylvania, Idaho Falls, Idaho, Wichita, Kansas Riverfront Stadium.
Hey you sang the national anthem there? I did. I did. Yes,
that's nervous for you very because I yeah, I'm not
a singer, but somehow I got the job to do that.

(58:30):
And I think we did it because my husband was
in Afghanistan at the time. Yeah, and I dedicated it
to him listeners kind of petition for it to happen.
So I did it. I didn't mess up any of
I respected it for sure, but like, I don't know,
it was the best rendition, So scary to think about doing.
Never done it. You never sang the national anthem. No wow,

(58:50):
I'm too nervous. I would be nervous about that too,
because if you nail it, and you do it exactly
right and you it's too great, people go, hey, nice job.
Yeah yeah, But if you mess up a word or
a syllable, prepared to be roasted for the rest of
your life. Man up the words to our own songs
every single night, and even if you do it the best,
you're not gonna do as good as when you old

(59:11):
dominions in studio. How about let's do your last number one?
Which was a song and I told you guys many
times hit me personally. I was still single at the time.
One Man band comes out and I'm like, dang, I
don't want to be this person anymore. I will say
this to change my life, and now I'm engaged. This song,
this song is the sole reason I'm engaged song. Hey

(59:32):
they're here right now. Let me let me lie to
the artist. But I did love this song, and you
know I'm not lying about that. This song really touched me.
And so let's do a little bit of one man
band your last number one. It's Old Dominion here in studio.
Maybe we can take our own show on the rule,
get tattoos and we'll trash, will tell baby taken. So

(59:56):
I don't want to be one man band. I don't
want to come on that is live Old Dominion. Man,
you guys are so good. Did it take a while

(01:00:16):
for you guys to kind of get it tied again?
Because I hear you sound excellent? But after not playing
for a while, was it kind of like lugging around
for a bay? Yeah, we're doing pretty good today, actually
was thank you felt warmed up on that? Yeah, let's
loosey goosey. Yeah yeah, But being as good as you are,
do you get back in the room and go oh
kind of off? For sure? Really, we had like what

(01:00:36):
maybe four or five rehearsals before we came back, and
it was like there were a few songs. I was
just stared at the keys. I'm like, I have no
idea what east And that's probably the most we rehearsed
ever for for anything was coming back for our first
show to get back to normal was the most rehearsed. Yeah,
I mean, you know, the learning curve is quick once
we get yeah, oh I got it, and then you're like,
oh yeah, it takes some one or two run throughs. Yeah.

(01:00:58):
I was looking at the promo shot for I was
on a boat that day and you guys are all
dressed up. He just suits you jackets, your Miami Vice
type thing. I don't know if that was a promo
at Brandt taking it off. He's that proud of it
everywhere he goes. So what was he What was the
idea creatively behind that? Well, interesting story we can't tell

(01:01:19):
the whole story, but interesting story about that particular photo
that's actually Kenny Chesney's backyard out by his pool. We
were in Key West and he we were hanging out
and he surprised us at our show in Key West
and we were hanging out the next day and we
were just having some beers and hanging out having a
good time, and he knew we had a photo shoot
that afternoon. He was like, why don't you just do

(01:01:41):
it here, this this whole cool thing and he like
art directed that whole photo for us. Wow. Yeah, it
was just like an impromptu thing where he was like, no,
stand here, do this. He also jumped into that he
probably doesn't want to, he had to see it. And
you guys of tequila, what was happening this entire song
together with shaemcnally Josh Osbourne. Right, it's already in like

(01:02:05):
the top thirty. I think I saw already in the
song just came out, which is rare for the country
charts for a song to jump like this. So, first
of all, congratulations on that, Thank you very much. It
was this written as hey, we're gonna put this out
in the summer type song. Man. It was just written
just as fun. You know. We didn't really think about that.
We didn't even know it was gonna be the first
thing we did. We just wrote it and moved on
to the next one. Yeah, I mean this title has

(01:02:27):
been around for about eight years. We haven't we had
that title. I was on a boat that day Old
Dominion live in studio ASTI go to night wend all
the rest of my life, and she walked away. I
can't sing I was dead day. The river was rolling,

(01:02:51):
I was getting Ida wasn't rolling. I was getting dad day.
I was bad day. Come on, can't over the drums,

(01:03:23):
can't go over to drums? Sat up? Those are smashing
our studio and they're like here you toldas man. All right,
Old Dominion. They are going out a headlining tour. They
are playing all over a lot of these baseball parks,
which is super cool. Uh. You go to Old Dominion
dot com, go to their instagram, go see what's up,
and go watch them. They sound so good stream I

(01:03:43):
was on a boat that day. Downloaded. However, you get
your music. Thank you guys, so much, fantastic, Thank you.
Snipe your hands. Rolled Dominion never like it's the best
bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, arguably one
of my more embarrassing moments of my four years of
working for this show is this segment right here that

(01:04:06):
happened this week. Lunchbox decided he wanted to pretend to
be my father. No, you wanted me to be your dad.
You said, hey, daddy, daddy, And I was like, Okay,
that is not moving down because I know my dad
is listening to this, and Dad, that is not what happened? Okay, Like,
am I cool like your dad? Oh hold on, let
me shut this up for a minute. So I had

(01:04:28):
I had accidentally stolen paper towels from the grocery store.
They were on the bottom cart, and I was really
stressed about it, as really worried, and so I wanted
to pay him back. And the whole show was, like,
you know, bed, really funny. Lunchbox pretends to be your
dad and goes with you. So naturally we did that,
and Lunchbox pretended to be my dad at the grocery store,
and they got nice and knock. We're talking about spanking

(01:04:50):
and grounding and all kinds of things because him and
I full well knowing exactly who we are and we
are not father and daughter. But the poor grocery store
worker didn't. She had no idea at any point in time.
She very clearly thought you were my father. Yeah, I
don't feel about that. I felt terrible. It felt terrible
that she actually believed that I could be your dad

(01:05:13):
because I don't look very old. I look very young,
and I don't get where they got that. Like I
understand that I was acting like it, but at any
moment she should have been like there is no way,
or her dad. She probably thought that we were dating
and that we were just being funny. Well, I feel
she did laugh at us a lot. Also, I think
she was very uncomfortable. I was gonna say, if you're

(01:05:35):
like me, if something's ever uncomfortable, I just laugh because
I don't know how to handle it. And I'm like, Hi, yeah,
you do you you just keep doing you whatever that is,
which is what I think she kept doing to us.
But she one hundred percent was like when you were
like no I need to ground her or I need
to spank her, she was like no, no, no, just
like let her be this time, like she's fine. She
really believed you. She did, And I almost offered her

(01:05:57):
and see if she wanted to spank you, But then I, oh, yeah,
that would have walked in the line. But I do
have a confession to make, okay that back in the day,
that's how you could steal things from the grocery store,
what by like putting it on the bottom car. Yeah,
there was a certain store that sold baseball cards, and
so I'd put boxes on the bottom and then put

(01:06:20):
two poster boards in the cart and they would look
in and be like, oh, just poster board, and they'd say, oh,
three poster boards, and they'd ring you up for the
poster board. Then you'd walk out with your baseball cards.
So you're telling me you purposely did this back in
the day. Yeah, And when I worked at Sam's, Uh, well,
I was a cart guy and people would leave Wait wait, wait,
hold on, did you purposely You just admitted that you

(01:06:43):
purposely took baseball cards? Yeah? How often did you do that?
We did it? How often? Give me a ballpark number?
We did it, so that means a lot. Then when
I worked at Sam's, people would put stuff on the
bottom of the cart and they would forget it, and
they had put the cart, you know in the little
cart things, and they would leave and you're supposed to

(01:07:05):
turn it into the you know, customer service desk. Nah.
When you were working there, you would take how many
what kind of items did you get? One time I
saw there was a cam quarter. This is back when
cam quarters were big. I was how long ago. There
was one on the bottom of the cart and the
lady was about to roll it into the cart bin
and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm about to
get me a cam quarter. I'm going to get me

(01:07:26):
a cam quarter. And then she rolled over her foot.
She looked down, saw the cam quarter, put it in
her car. But I'm talking cases of beer. Like one
guy that I worked with, he, uh, someone that I
guess owned a convenience store, bought a whole box of
cigarette like and had it all on the bottom and
left it and the guy took it. He got fired

(01:07:46):
because the guy came back. I say, you weren't the
only one. No, no, we all did it. We all
did it, and you would always get it and bring
it over to the where the cart. Guys, Hey you
need this, you need that, like you need this case
of beer, you need the laundry detergent, you need whatever, paper, towel,
toilet paper, you name it. We got You had no
like guilty conscience considering that was your employer at the time. No, no,

(01:08:06):
they had already paid for it and then they left
it and they drove off. What am I supposed to do? Yeah,
but like not giving it back. What if they did
when they were like, hey, I paid for this, but
I never got it. If they came back, oh yeah
we have it, said over here, we would just said
it over here. Where the cart guys are till the
end of the day. If they don't come back, viv
it up. What Yeah, it was all the time. We
did it all the time. Okay, So mine was bad

(01:08:27):
in the fact that I left without paying. I took
it home. No, these people paid and left their merchandise behind.
Because it's like the other side of it. Yeah, so
had I done that, somebody would have taken it. Someone. Absolutely,
we've taken it one hundred percent, someone would have taken it.
Oh my gosh. Okay, well you just confessed a lot
of things. Lunchbox, Hey, the car guys, that was our thing. Hey,

(01:08:49):
you need this, you need some So meanwhile, while while
I everybody thought you guys were being like the bell
of the ball because you were taking care of the carts,
because that was you know, that's all we did. We
stayed in the parking lot and picked up shopping cards
all day long. But really, what you were doing trying
to get some No, not trying. If it happened free hey,
if it happened, if they happened to leave it, I'm

(01:09:11):
happen to take it. Oh my goodness. Okay, Well you
just confess a whole lot of things there a lunchbox.
Well we I mean this segment, I mean definitely made
me feel uncomfortable. Oh. I told my wife about it.
I just told her just the concept and she goes,
I'm already uncomfortable, and I was like, this is what
I said. She was like, can't, I can't. I'm so uncomfortable.
I was like, you want to hear the audio? Just no, no, no, no, no,

(01:09:31):
no no no, I don't want to hear it. I'm
so uncomfortable. My wife gets so uncomfortable on everything. She
is the most uncomfortable person, can't handle awkward. She is
just such a weirdo. When I feel like for you too,
you're so good at that uncomfortable phase, Like you can
keep a straight face, you can roll with any joke. Meanwhile,
over here, I'm my giggle gigglester, I gigglester Gigglester are

(01:09:56):
your giggles giggle giggles giggles? I don't know, giggle giggles. Yeah.
Just walking into the grocery store, you were laughing. You
were like starting to laugh and I was like, you
gotta keep it together. I can't. I mean, things are uncomfortable.
I just laugh And that's exactly what I did. This
whole time. I was like, that's why I kept having
to say, like, I'm so embarrassed because I had to
cover up the fact that I was laughing. Man, it's

(01:10:17):
a lot of fun. Those are the Those are the
most fun to me is when you can put people
in awkward positions, like the grocery store worker. That was
so awkward for her. That's why I loved it. But
like very real scenario that definitely happens. I'm sure absolutely
because just like Eddie said, he did it with his kid.
But I'm sure most of the time the parents don't
scold their child in front of the worker like you

(01:10:38):
were scolding me and that. And you know what's great
is we made her day because the rest of the
day she was telling everybody about these two people, father
and daughter, which that's offensive. Came in and she's gonna
tell everybody she works with, everybody at home, and they're
gonna laugh about it, and it's gonna make a great
memory for her. And that's what it's about. That's true.

(01:10:59):
And I am waiting for my dad will always listen
to this podcast, and I'm just waiting for the text
from him. He's gonna be like, so Lunchbox is your dad? Now,
I'm just waiting for it. Hey, you did tell me,
oh you're gonna like my dad's so this time you
go that so reminds me of my dad. I'm like, no,
your dad is so much older than me. He is
cool over sixty. Okay, so we're not even close. No,

(01:11:22):
but quit telling me I'm like your dad. My parents
are just so cool, Like you wouldn't even know how
old they are, just because they act very young and
they're very like with it, and they know everything that's
happening and sort of like my parents. Yeah, like the
exact opposite. Okay, well they do, and so that's why
you remind me, because like you'll make jokes and you'll

(01:11:43):
prank and stuff, which is exactly what my dad does
to me. I mean that's just the relationship that I
have with him. Okay, Well, so you don't feel good
about that. It makes me feel old. But you also
have two about to have three kids. Right, here's a
funny story. When we were down for mike Ney's wedding. Yeah,
we borrowed my sister's minivan and my wife was driving
it and my sister was like what do you think.

(01:12:03):
She goes, it's such a mom car, and my sister goes, uh, hello,
you're a mother of two about to be mother of three.
You are a mother. And my wife was like, oh,
good call. Well, hey, there's a lot of cars out
there that are stylish. I know, but it was just
so funny because she goes, it feels like such a
mom car, and my sister had to hit her with

(01:12:25):
the truth bomb that you are a mother. You know
that that realized I should. It didn't hit with the
first two kids, but hopefully with that third at all,
we'll realize that we're a parent. Yeah, exactly, speaking of
you being a dad and your your wife. How is
how are the kids doing? How's the pregnancy going? Kids
are doing great? Baby Box one? We are. I mean, listen,

(01:12:46):
we started potty training about a month ago, and let
me tell you, I think we waited till the perfect
time because he'll be three in July and it has
been so smooth it. I mean, we have not had
very many accidents at all. Now, not saying there's not
gonna be any or there, well, there hasn't been any,
but like I mean, we did it cold turkey. We
took the diapers, and we said we'd been did a

(01:13:06):
big ceremony like, hey, we're throwing all your diapers away.
We really just put him in a bag, but he
thinks we yeah, just in case, and so we wrapped
him him up and he started crying no, no. And
then the first day he was naked all day and
he loved it. Second day you put shorts on him
and had a couple accidents. Third day short, just shorts.

(01:13:27):
He was great, no accidents. And we did at night too,
no diaper at night, just like we went all in
and so that you had to wake him up a
couple times in the middle of the night to make
him go pee. So you go in there and he's
like a limp noodle. You just pick him up, set
him on the potty, He peas, and you set him
back in bed and he goes to sleep. Well. The
third or fourth night, he'd wake up. I don't want

(01:13:49):
to go pepy, I don't want to pepe. I'll hold
night pep. And that's what they say is good. And
so then we don't wake him up in middle night.
Guess what homeboy holds his pep all night. Dang, he's good.
No accidents, say, I mean, no, he's had a couple,
but majority of the point nine percent of the nights
he doesn't have accidents. And he's poopooing in the potty,

(01:14:10):
and I mean it's he tells, I got a poopoo.
Like the other day, we were driving to dinner and
we're about to get on the highway right over here,
and he was like, I got a peepee. And we
came to work and then him peep in the potty,
and we go peep in the potty, and we get
back out of the car and he goes, I got
a poopoo. So we go back in here and he
poopoo's in the body. And so now he tells me,

(01:14:31):
remember when I peepee and poopoo at work? A peep
at work? As he came to my work and pepe anything.
That's so cool. No, he's a big boy. It's so good.
And then okay, and then baby box two. Yes, oh man,
how do I say this? I almost killed him? Oh yeah,
you were telling me about this. You didn't almost kill him,

(01:14:53):
but he did get into some things. So we have
a And when you walk in my house, to the left,
there's a bookshelf that goes from the bottom of the
floor to the top, which is two story a story
and a half really, so it's ceiling to floor. It's
a bookcase and so it has a rolling ladder. And
we were baby Box two and I were in the
living room and yeah, so he goes in the front

(01:15:20):
room and he's like dad Dad, and I'm like baby
Box two and he's like dad Dad and I'm like
baby Box two and he's like dadda and I'm like,
baby Box two, play like playing Marco pullo because we
do it all the time. And I'm thinking, Okay, he'll
just come back around the corner anytime. He never comes
back around the corner. And I'm like, wow, let me
go see what he's doing. And I walk in there
and he's not in there, and I'm like, huh, is

(01:15:43):
he under the couch? So I look under the couch. Non,
I'm like, is he in a cabinet? No, not in
a cabinet, And I'm like huh. And I hear Dad Dad,
and I'm like, did he go upstairs? And I just
thought he went left and he went right. And then
I hear Dad dag in and I look up and
I do a double take because he is on the
absolute top rung of the ladder, So he is up

(01:16:07):
there at two stories on the very top, just sitting there.
And I mean, you want to talk about your heart dropping,
You're you feel like you're gonna vomit, Like, oh my gosh,
like that is so scary. But I hopped up that
letter got him and he just smiled the whole time.
We came back down. And then I was like, do

(01:16:28):
I tell my wife? Did you? I told my wife?
How did she feel about this? Are you kidding me? No? No,
that ladder right there, No way you're recording me. You're
recording me for the show. You're you're joking. I wasn't joking.
So is he like big and crawling? It's crawling. He walks,
He walked, He walked a month, eleven months. I'm saying,

(01:16:49):
because like a ladder, you're kind of crawling. I just
went right up and I guess I don't know. My
baby box one has never gone higher than the second rung.
He went all the way to the top, all the
way to the freaking top. But like does does he
like to kind of do stuff like that with his
hands and feet? He likes to just do anything. He
likes to get up in it. He's crazy. And the
doctor tells you the second one is going to be
more like adventurous because he sees brother do things, so

(01:17:10):
he's gonna try things. So you gotta keep an eye
on number two. More. Well, he probably saw a baby
box one and was like, oh, he only got to
like four, I'm gonna get all the way to the
topsh It was terrifying. So did you guys put like
a baby gate or something to No, just pay attention
more the ladder still there, No more Marco Polo. No, no, no.
If he goes in that front room, I go in
that front room too, there ain't no. Oh yeah you're good.

(01:17:33):
No no, no, no, we don't do that. So that
was was that so far your worst moment as a
parent with the kids, worst, worst, worst, worst, Oh my gosh,
oh it's terriful. Yeah, watching you, watching you tell the story,
your stomach was dropping. Just one. It's awful. It's awful. Okay, well,

(01:17:53):
hopefully we have no more worse. Yeah, let's I mean,
you're gonna have worse. You're gonna have more because you're
not at it happens kids do that and I have
to just be okay with it. But that was that
was my first like, oh, you're like I'm gonna make
you wear a helmet all the time. No, I'm not
like that you at all. No, Okay, Well, what about
the pregnancy before we go. Pregnancy is good. Baby's growing

(01:18:14):
like a weed. I don't know if it's a boy
or girl. Uh what she w October twenty second, And
so we're just humming right along. Just do dude, do dude, dude?
Has she been sick at all? Or she's been more
nauseous this pregnancy than the other ones, But she's never
really thrown up. She's never had morning sickness. And she's
been um more emotional. Like we'll watch things on TV

(01:18:36):
and she'll just cry and cry and cry. At Mike
Dee's wedding, she cried like a baby, like because some
old There was an old guy sitting in the back
row and when Mike Need's wife came walking down the aisle,
he took his cowboy hat off and like bowed to her.
And my wife thought that was the most amazing thing ever.
What I'm like, get it together, girls, she's all up

(01:18:57):
in hers all up in the field. Yeah, weird cravings.
I mean, just more of me. Okay, I'm at food craving,
like drink craving. Nah, she's good, she don't. I mean
she's never had craving. She's never had like you gotta
go get me a pickle at midnight, never had that,
so thank goodness. Or she just hides it because she
knows I ain't gonna go. But it's good. Okay, well good.

(01:19:19):
I'm glad we finally got an update because I've been
wanting to know how the whole fam is doing. Yeah, man,
doing great, doing great. Good. Well, I know everybody wants
to say it, but I'll say it again. Congratulations for
your third baby. Whoay, well here before he has his
third baby, here is a lunchbox pretending to be my father.
At the grocery store number three yesterday, Morgan came to

(01:19:42):
us and said she accidentally stole paper towels when she
left the grocery store. She even realized it was on
that bottom shelf. So innocent mistake. We all agreed, right, yeah,
innocent mistake. And so and I think that happens too.
I've probably done a little water because you now you
put like a case of water to bottom. Yeah, and
so we gave her a couple of options. So one
of the options was go back as a bit and

(01:20:03):
recorded in Lunchbox took her back and he played the
role of the upset and concerned father and they went
back because Eddie was like, my kids did this once
with like im and and you went back and told
them my son told him what he did, and they
made him pay for it. Yeah. But what's weird is like,
because you're listening on the radio and you don't know,
everybody looks like maybe like Morgan is definitely younger than

(01:20:26):
Lunchbox that they for sure looked like they could date
if they wanted to. And now he's her daddy. But
what's the age difference between you guys, thirty nine or
twelve years now? Frame of reference. My mom got pregnant
me when she was fifteen, so okay, so could she
could but super young? But yes, but still, you're right,

(01:20:49):
it doesn't look definitely like if you're the employee the
grocery store, you're like, what is all right? Here we go?
This is them going to the to the grocery store. Morgan,
here she's been a bad and bad girl. Tell her
what you Morgan, my dad really likes to embarrass me.
I locked down to the grocery store with these on
the bottom and pay for them. She didn't pay for them,

(01:21:10):
so she stole them as her father. I thought about
putting her over the knee and spanking her, honey, but
don't be so mean. She goes off to college, she
comes back next thing. I know she's steal on things.
That's not the way I rassed her. I'm really sorry.
I'm so so like were next time, we're not gonna

(01:21:31):
walk out and go we can pay yourself. Okay, So
she needs to pay you for them, right? Thank you? Do?
We need to call the authorities right there? No we go?
Should I ground her for I've never break this time? Okay?
What about one spanking? No? And that's how you had

(01:21:54):
tone for your mistakes a young lady. It's also got
kind of creepy, like creepier than I thought. Multiple times, Morgan,
you paid for him. I did pay for them, and
I couldnot stop like second hand embarrassment. When he kept
saying that, I was like, I genuinely felt like, here's
my dad in that moment, and I was so embarrassed.
You were about to get spank. Did it hurt your

(01:22:16):
feelings at all that they thought you could have been
her dad? Like? Yeah, be honest. I was like, you're
supposed to be Like, there's no way you're her dad.
You're no way your dad. But the lad was just like, oh,
good job dad, Like oh god, Yeah. I didn't feel
any of that. But I didn't feel any pushback whatsoever.
And I was like, ah, man, I look that old Morgan.
You feel good though you paid for it, You're good. Yes,

(01:22:37):
I feel good. I don't have to feel bad anymore.
And we got a good radio bit out. But Lunchbox
also runs into the nicest people. Yeah, I mean he
knows how to hit them. Yeah, I mean you and
me we're working in the grocery store. I mean it
was lucky. It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan.

(01:22:58):
Number two. Brett Eldridge was on the show this week,
and not only did he talk to us about when
we can expect new music and what he's been up
to during the pandemic, but he also performed an unreleased song.
So after you listen to this interview, make sure you
go to Bobby Bones dot com and watch this unreleased
performance because I'm telling you this song is so good

(01:23:20):
in true Brett Eldridge fashion, and he also performed Bobby's
favorite song of his, which is The Long Way. So
definitely a performance you do not want to miss. Number
two the Friday Morning Conversation with Brett Eldridge Brett, how
are you, Budd? I'm good? How are you doing? I'm
doing good? A question for you you being a Cubs
fan and just a baseball fan in general. The debate

(01:23:41):
we have on this show is is it okay to
wear a jersey? First of all, as an adult man?
I did wear an Arkansas Razorbacks baseball jersey to watch
Arkansas play and Kaitlin was like, are you gonna really
wear a jersey? And I was like, yeah, because we're
going to a game. That's what you do again, right,
But first of all, can you wear a jersey to
a game as an adult man? Absolutely? Okay? Now can

(01:24:04):
you wear a jersey as an adult man just hanging
out like going to like that? You don't do that.
I mean, you can do whatever you want. I don't
do that. If you saw it. And also I told
her too, and you guys can jump in on this.
I said it. Also matters what sport the jersey is, Like,
You're not going to see me wearing a basketball jersey somewhere.

(01:24:24):
Is there just too much arms? There too much action?
You can see in this ship. You're not gonna see
me wearing a football jersey because it's just too big.
But a baseball jersey is almost like a shack it.
It's almost like a ship. I mean, especially if it's styled,
like if it's like super jersey, Like I don't know,
like there's I think there's's vintage ones that I really like.
I would wear certain ones, but I don't always do that,

(01:24:45):
but I don't I don't judge anybody for doing that.
Here's my next question in fashion, Okay, high fashion, here
we go. So, being now that I'm forty years old,
I still have hoodies that I bought before I turned
for Is it okay to wear a hoodie at even
your age? You thirty five? Now? Is it okay to
wear a hoodie at thirty five? In your opinion? Absolutely? Okay,
I wear lots of those. What about me though? Five

(01:25:06):
six years? Okay, as you're wearing one now? Yes I am.
You can say no, I listen, you can say whatever.
He wants to say hoodie all day. I don't buy
new hoodies, but I grandfather them in. I still wear
them if I bought them, that's a good call. So
I don't go to the store, but like, got to
get me a new hoodie. But I do own a
bunch and I still wear them. It was because if

(01:25:29):
you did buy a new one, you'd wear the same
old ones that kids they're more comfortable or whatever, or
they're just they have a thing. No, I just feel
like I don't need to be buying new hoodies. Okay,
I can still wear the ones I had. I don't
need to be buying a millionaire want to do. I
get it. That's how you visible. I'm good. Every time
I see you on social media, you're like deep in
the woods and I just see your boot. I wonder

(01:25:51):
on those hikes that you take, because it's it's always
a stream or tree or any eagle flying over, do
you ever get inspired to write music as you're doing
these these walks. I mean I hike almost every day.
That just kind of gets me out of my head
and kind of and real stuff, I guess, and it

(01:26:11):
opens opens my mind up a little bit. And uh
SOA I'll get melodies or something I'll recorded on my phone,
or and get ideas and just kind of contemplate and
just walk around. Look at look at bird, look at
eagles up in the sky. Can you name a song
that you have written that was inspired by you walking
in the woods. I would say a lot of my
new ones are, but I wouldn't say, like, there's one

(01:26:33):
that's like I went hiking today. That's a hit. If
I heard hiking today, I'll be there'd be a very
specific market. All the hikers out there. I love it.
Birds chirping in the background of the song and sort
real birds. Yeah, the ones as you were hiking. I
kind of liked that. That's the challenge we're giving you
for the next three years. Okay, I have to somehow

(01:26:53):
put the word. You have to put some sort of
hiking reference. Have you ever put a hiking reference on
a song? No, but I should. I mean I think
it's very specific. Yeah, but but I mean people love yes,
and it can be subtle. It's like, oh, baby, looking
your eyes reminds me of when I was hiking in
my pot You're hiking boom there. Yeah, that's all we

(01:27:18):
got right now? Oh yeah, that's all we need though. Hey,
that's how you get to the hits, that's what we do.
You're talking. You just mentioned something about new music, So
are you recording music right now? Yes? What's that plan?
Hopefully you get get some stuff, you know, you know,
the process can take forever sometimes. But I've written probably
aided the songs for my new album already, and now

(01:27:39):
I'm starting to record him. So it's been vocaling him
and recording him and so I'm deep in it. And
how locked up do these songs live? Because you know,
like Taylor Swift will only play them out? Did you
ever do you show up at the box and flip
it open and be like you can only listen? Oh?
Hear it like this? You know, I'm a believer that,
in fact, if we get time, I'll play I'll play
something no one's ever heard today. But I like to

(01:28:01):
just get it out there because I like to see
how people react to things, and there's there's avenues you
get music out there. Now, It's like I want to.
I want to. I'm always writing songs, so I want to.
I want to hear what people think and how they
feel from it. What if you played a new song
and we reacted in a negative way like we were,
and we're like, all wrong. We don't hide it. Well

(01:28:22):
sometimes I mean there's subtle clues like you could if
we're like, don't give away all the subtle clues. Sometimes
artists nervous right now if I something. It's tough. There
are things because at times I will not hear an
artist until they play on that stage that you're on,
and once they play, you realize, oh, they do not

(01:28:42):
sound at the same level as their recording sound. And
then it's awkward because I don't even want to look
at home until it's over. Yeah, we're like, I won't
I won't let you down. That's tough. Well, why don't
you give us all something new? Do you have? The
song's memorized already, have a lyric right here? Okay, what's
thee called? This was called I want that back? I
want that back? And did you write this? I did?

(01:29:04):
And what was the inspiration of this new song? This
inspiration actually came at four am in the middle of night.
It was kind of in the heat of pandemic times
and kind of looking through all the things I don't
need my life and could go without, and the things
that you want to hold, you know, pull closer, and
you know, as as the simple things that that mean

(01:29:24):
a lot that that I want to hold onto and
the things you want to throw out. And so it's
called I want that back. And what room of a
house or a bedroom did you write this in? I
just want to get the full picture. Are you did
you wake up and write it or were you are
waking up for this thing where four am? It's what almost?
And I would I would. I've got this little like
old school recorder because I don't put my phone by
my bed because then I'll look at it and I'll

(01:29:46):
wake me up and then I'll think about it or something.
So I've got this little quarter and what I do
as I'll, i'll, i'll if I have something to pop up,
I'll just record it right there. And I had the
whole lyrics of this course just kind of show up
in the middle of night. I don't it doesn't always
have like that, but it just did. And and I
had one buddy that I knew it was a perfect
person to help me finish this because I already wrote

(01:30:07):
the chorus. Helped me kind of shape the verses a
little bit and everything and and I called him up.
His name Scooter Crusoe, and we wrote mean to Me
and want to be that song. He's kind of been
one of my guys that I've always written with and
I think we got a really special one, but nobody's
ever heard it. So here it is. We will be
the judge of that bread. Let's see how special it is. Okay,

(01:30:27):
so this is called I'm trying to get the strike
because I've never it's called I want that back. I
want that back? Written at four am for the most part, Yeah,
what were you wearing in bed? Bob Miley T shirt?
And uh, you sleep in a T shirt? Yes, staying
weirdo what we jump on him for? I don't sleep
in a shirt sometimes when I'm not both, but that
night it was probably about Miley T shirt. Let's we'll

(01:30:48):
accept it right here. We get Bob Moley T shirt
singing this song. All right, here's I want that back. Here.
You can have the small toe, you can have the hey,
you can have the check your phone each time you
get a little break, and you can have the lonely.
You can have the bank, you can have the TV

(01:31:12):
full of stations to tell you how the thing. But
the smell of old wood, bleachers and the world at hometime,
preachers being rich with her in a cheap six pay Yeah,
the shine of a new summer, barefoot baseball with my brother,

(01:31:33):
first time freedom with the windows cray. I want that bag.
That's really good, man, had really good. Open my eyes,
give me the look, give it a grammy. That's good.
Dang dune, that's a good one. Anybody else get emotional?

(01:31:54):
Oh yeah, goose bumps? Uh yeah, me too. I felt
that yeah in my forearms usually some of my thighs
some reason different. As I start to think about where
they hit me, it kind of have a forearm. I mean, okay, okay, yeah,
I mean God gifted you the voice of an angel.
Thank you. Do you ever just look up and go, yo, dude,
appreciate that I did. Sometimes that's weird. I don't understand

(01:32:16):
how I got it, but I got it, and I'm
glad to have it, and I feel very fortunate. So
I'm trying to belt it out right here. Why did
I not get it? You know? No, like, have you
got other things? Man? I think that about a lot
of people that come in here. It's easy to get
envious of that it's a brand new song from Brett Eldridge.
When will people it just your best guests here? When

(01:32:36):
do you think people will be able to hear the
version of that from a studio? A month? Two months?
I would hope in the next few months. Really, it's
a good one. The Friday morning conversation with Brett Eldridge
going out on the good day. The American tour dates,
that means there are European dates too, so you're gonna
go be basically most of may you know what when

(01:32:57):
you go somewhere like the UK, like, how are you seebed?
There is it? Here's an American who sings country music.
Let's go explore him? Or are they like, oh my gosh,
Bright Elder just coming. It is such a for me.
It's like the excitement of like when you get your
first hit or a song it's even starting to get played,
and people get so excited because you know, they get
to discover it first or something. And when you go,

(01:33:19):
you know, thousands of miles you know, away from home
and play music, I just feel like there's so much appreciation.
So I continue to want to go back, you know,
every year that I can. And so it is really,
it's really cool. Is it weird to go places and
they sing your songs back when they don't even speak
your language, because I think that will be yes, absolutely, like,

(01:33:40):
well but great. I played in Berlin and I remember
playing up there, and I remember like being in meet
and greets and stuff and a lot of people didn't
speak English. But then I'd look out in the crowd
and be like, all these people are speaking English perfectly
fine right now and they're singing it. So it's it's
pretty cool. I think it's it's a special thing to
be able to have that. If your record label came
to you today and they said, hey, Brett, we heard

(01:34:01):
you play the new song that you just played on
the bibone show. We really feel great about this album.
We've heard some tracks, but we really need you to
post a shirtless pick to promote the record and the tour.
They came to him, pulled you aside, and so we
need you to go shirtless. What what is this question
I'm asking if you If they came, it'll be uncomfortable,
but they were like, hey, we really need to go
full sex appilled. Would you would you post a shirtless

(01:34:23):
picture like on the front of your record. Would you
do that? Would you be shortless? Hell? No, no, I
could that. I could ever live with that? Why? I
don't know. I just you know, I'm always working out,
trying to I'm trying to get better, but I want
don't I don't want. I don't want to see that.
No one else wants to see that. What is the
Brett Eldridge workout routine? I left about four days a

(01:34:44):
weekend and I like, uh, like from trying to I'm
trying to put on some weight. So I'm just slipped
in weights and and uh cycling for cardio. Yeah, but
trying to put all weight. You have trouble putting all
weight well. Last year in quarantine, I ran the whole
time and I didn't go to gyms, and so I
just lost a ton of weight running like crazy, which

(01:35:06):
was good from my mind, but then I was like, God,
I'm kind of skinny. So I've been trying to eat
a lot more. And I mean I'm always eating healthy,
but eat more and and lift weights and and uh
and make sure I get a lot of cardio and
for my heart. Must just want to feel good. So
where about going back on stage and not having your
air like if you're singing all these songs. Yeah, it's
a big part. I mean you could like beyond. I've

(01:35:28):
been swimming a lot and uh and I also do these.
I do the cold showers in the morning, and I
do that. Did anybody else? Anybody else? Guessers, do you
do like that? As cold as it goes? Yeah, as
cold as I can possibly get it, sometimes at least
three minutes, So you do the three minutes. So I
did this morning three minutes. If there was like a

(01:35:49):
mystery murder in town, I would go, well, let's go
look at Brett and Amy, because they're psychopaths in other ways.
That's why I heard a whim Hoff. Have you heard
of that guy? No, So he's this this Dutch guy
that um teach is like this breathing and then this
technique to where you can go in and withstand crazy
cold temperatures by doing this technique. You gotta watch it.
Just look it up. It's really I don't think I

(01:36:09):
will someone whatsoever, you know, you know, I mean I'm
always very open about like anxieties and stuff like the
Cold Show really helps pop me out of like a
weird state. Or have you done cryotherapy? That box you
get into this freezing okay, no money that he said.
Therapy Like I started going like maybe six or seven

(01:36:30):
months ago, and it was my three minutes of some
people going there they want to listen to music and
dance out, and I go in and I'm like, no music,
just put me in the box, and I come out
like a better in a better mental state like mine.
For injuries, I'd never felt like I'm going to be
a better person. Oh well, I mean I would. I
went and I was coming out like mentally better. So
in a way, that is a different injury, you know

(01:36:51):
what I mean. It's not like a muscle recovery, but
it's like an emotional maybe anxiety or I'm with you
type regy. Okay, well listen, thanks, we're gonna do some
breathing everyone when you go. Have you started working on
your set list at all? For when you Literally yesterday
my my bandleader called me, it's like, all right, let's
get the set list going, which makes me so nervous
to do that because I used you don't have to

(01:37:13):
pick through a lot of songs and what's the first
song back, like the first opening song, it's the first,
it's you, You're walking on stage first time in a year.
I mean, I think it's gonna be I mean, it's
a good day. Tis it's gonna be good day. I
don't know, why would it fuse? So you start with that?
I think, so this is set like a positive mood.
What's what do you close with? I don't know. We

(01:37:33):
need to figure this out now, we gotta Maine. I mean, okay,
let me think what I would if I were going
to your show. You just I don't think you're gonna
like my answer. That's it because when you look back,
I'm sure you're tired of playing. That's not tired. But
I'm sure if you got to pick you would play.
The new stuff gets more exciting as an artist, right

(01:37:53):
because you were living a different life Whenever you put
Don't You out? Yeah? Absolutely? But however, I think you
close on don't You? That's thought about song to close
on just because it's big, it's upbeat. Yeah. Actually I
used to close with that beat of the music. That
was a good one to close with. Um, but maybe
that's not a bad thought. My running run when I

(01:38:14):
wrote the flag Pole for me? Do you ever not
play a hit? Oh? I did that one time? It
didn't go well, no, does it all? Why did you
not play? I think one time we just screwed up
for something and we forgot to add like and I
played mean to Me every time, but it was like
mean to me or something, you know, And and it's

(01:38:36):
one of my favorite songs I played, and somehow it
slipped to our, you know, just writing the set list
because I like to I'd like to switch it up,
and uh, I think I forgot it that night and
we were like, man, something didn't feel right, Like there's
a moment in the show that we didn't have and
it was that and so many people were like, that
was our wedding songs? Oh man, can you imagine you
go to here one song and don't play it. So
if you come to the Good Day Tour, I will
remember every song, I promise, And if not, I'm sorry.

(01:39:00):
Will you play the Long Way? Yeah? Because that is
not not here? I mean, if you play now, that's going.
But I'm saying, well, you play that on tour because
that's my favorite song. Yes, you Wilhood, You're committed. I
like to I like to break that one down. Sometimes
it's played acoustic. Well, lucky for us, that's what he's
doing here. Yeah, well you play as some of the
long Way. Yeah, okay, all right, okay, I'll bring you
right into it, just to take a trip around around
your town. Right here we go. Don't think I've ever

(01:39:22):
seen you kind pretty wandering around this midnight mad house.
You gotta look it says you got it on good.
So if you don't mind that light to know you better?
Seeing me the long Way around you town? Will you

(01:39:49):
queen with the super crown? I want to secrets you
Ki the shin Underneata of the Damn. I think gotch's
fall see me the long I wonder if you chased

(01:40:17):
that big note this early in the morning. He did,
He chased it. You just gotta show up and do it.
Let's live. Brett Eldridge is here, listen. Tickets for the
Good Day Tour go on sale today at ten am
local time. Wherever you are, go to Brett Eldridge dot
com and get tickets. It will be a fantastic show,
not just with Brett, but he got a pretty powerful

(01:40:38):
opening act too. Usually for an opening act, you get
somebody that people never heard of. You had to you
givehim a couple of bucks and go, Hey, go do
good job. You got Morgan Evan. That's awesome. Hell yeah, yeah,
cannot wait, all right go Brett Eldridge dot Com. Good
to see you much success as always, the new song
is fantastic. We love it. I just looked at number
one on the chart. Already good and it only has
been here on the show. Yeah, it's been great, all

(01:40:59):
right there he Brett Alder. It's the best bits of
the week with Morgan. Number two. It finally happened. Someone
on the show had to eat a chocolate covered cicada. Oh,
that's what number one is. And I was wondering, I've

(01:41:20):
been cinegal, what's number one? I couldn't think about it.
I was like, there was so much that happened this week.
Was it that Eddie's finally going to do his walk
because we get rid of him for like four days
or three days whatever that I don't want to talk
about that because I have two jobs next week. That's
a good point. So maybe that's not why that made it.
And I was like, oh, you know, is it the
tanning call for the baby? I tried to get my

(01:41:43):
kid a tanning call, but that was funny. But the
cicada has been built up for so long, that should
have been the obvious number one. I don't know how
I didn't think of that. I'm such an idiot. And
without revealing too much, you were not the one who
was chosen to eat this the cicada. No, but do
you feel like the wheel is out to get you?

(01:42:03):
Because I kind of have been feeling that way about
it With me, the wheel always gets me. The wheel
got Do you understand the going to outer space? I
paid one hundred dollars to get my name, like to
redo the wheel and then guess who it landed on again? Me?
It spuned so it had everybody's name on the wheel,
and we spin it and if your name gets landed on,

(01:42:24):
you get taken off, right. So we did that for
two sets of all the names, and the only person
that didn't land on was me, So I was the
last one standing. Twice. That tells you the wheel is
out to get me. Do you believe in like karma
of the universe? Sure? Like there's good karma, there's bad karma. Yeah.

(01:42:44):
Do you feel like you just when the wheel is
out to get you, you got some bad car. I
think the wheel is just not my friend. I think
the wheel is bad karma, Like whenever that comes in
the studio, that karma of the wheel comes at me
like it picks me to just mess with. It was
just a space one because in the other two times
of the eh, it was me what was the other time?
I ate that the stinky fruit and the watermelon mustard. Yeah,

(01:43:07):
but those aren't bad. Those are eating decent things awful.
The stinky frum is bad though, because it smell really awful.
Well you said it tasted great. Oh yeah, but still
you don't know that going into it. I understand that,
But like the cicada, I don't know if it would
be that bad. I might want to try one. Do
you want me put that out there again that you
want to try one? Yeah, I kind of do you do.
I'll prep it, we'll put it on the show. I

(01:43:29):
kind of do. Like I'm like, man, it's a once
in a lifetime chance, because Cicada has only come around
every seventeen years. I felt that about space. No, because
that's too scary. No, you're going to space. No, you die,
that's a once in a die. You die and you
don't come back. So there's you only believe in once
in a lifetime, as long as you keep your feet
on the ground. No, it's not necessarily once in a lifetime. No.

(01:43:50):
I believe in like skydiving and all that, but I
don't believe in like going to space because you can die.
I don't play with that sometimes, I swear when when
you're logic of things, I don't play that game. Okay,
Well then if it's not space. I mean, I know
you think that's the worst. But is there a worst
thing you've done, even prior to me being on the

(01:44:12):
show going to space? No, there's nothing worse than going
to No, I mean, going to jail's pretty bad. I
mean I don't know. Yeah, is that would you say
that's like your worst experience of being a part of
the show is when you went to jail? Well yeah,
like I'm talking about something that you got convinced to
do because of the show. I mean, I don't I
can't even think. There's been too many things I've done

(01:44:32):
that I'm just like, ah, but yes, the going to
space was just like huh, I don't want to do that,
Like that's so terrifying to me, Like that just boggles
my mind that people want to go there, Like like
like these idiots that want to go live on Mars,
even though they tell you you're gonna die, and they
sign up for it anyway, Like hello, Like I think

(01:44:53):
if I didn't have like family, why would you would consider?
Why would you sign up for something where you're gonna
go die? Well, because it's again a once in a
lifetime experience. You know what else is one? I'll tell
you when once in a lifetime experience is getting hit
by a bus. You'll still die. So it's a once
in a lifetime experience. Go do it. Yeah, but at
least you'll be on Mars. You'll be on another planet.

(01:45:14):
You will have explored the Solar System. No, you won't
because you'll die, So no one won't get to know
what it was like. No one will you know hear
what you have to say because you're dead. Hey, there's
video diaries like that day you think you get sell
Bawl reception up on the damn Marsh. You know how
many videos come out of the International Space Station? Oh
my gosh, No I don't because I don't. I don't.
I don't look at NASA. You should look at NASA.

(01:45:35):
A lot of videos and photos and stuff from them
comes from don't like it. Don't like it. There is
reception up there in space. Don't like it. I don't
think satellites. I'm buying it. Oh my god. Okay, well,
usually you think you can go to space and give
me a call and say, hey, here, there's how Mars done.
But they do have phones that call, and they do

(01:45:57):
interviews from the International Space Station. They make telephone calls. No,
I don't know if it's necessarily a telephone call. It
might be like through a computer. There is a connection.
They got Internet now, they got high, they got they
got Google Fiber up on the Come on, hey, if
you think about it, are satellites. Who's the one that
puts the telephone poles up on Mars? Or phone poles?

(01:46:19):
There's a different way. I don't know that the exact
way of them connecting. But I'm telling you go look
on NASA's Instagram. They post pictures of things. Yes, I
didn't know that. Oh my goodness. It's like you forget.
We're in a We're in the twenty first century. I'm not.
I'm not about that space live. I would never do it,

(01:46:39):
never in a million. I mean, you could you could
offer me. I don't know how much money, but two
million bucks and I wouldn't do it. No, I would
chance no, no, no. Speaking of money though, we're talking
about these chocolate covered cicada's, is there anything for money
that you would absolutely any regardless of how much money

(01:47:01):
somebody offers, you know, you would try anything. Yes? Did
you ever like the show like Fear Factor? Like? Would
you ever go on a show like that? Fear Factor
is dumb to me. My fear factor was supposed to
be about being scared of stuff, and it turned into
oh if you can't eating gross stuff, like and sometimes
you just can't eat it, like you try, but your
stomach rejects it and you lose. That's not fear factor,

(01:47:24):
it's just my stomach can't handle it factor. Like fear
is scared of things. I'm not scared of eating a
bowl testicle, Like give me the bowl test Did you
eat a snake? Yeah, even though you're afraid of them? Yeah,
because it's dead? Okay, Like, I mean I watch I
watched the challenge, But you wouldn't let snakes crawl all
over you? Now that's fear factor. That's scary. I would
have I mean, I would freak out, but That's what

(01:47:46):
I'm saying. That's fear factor. Eating something is not fearful
to me, I'm not fearful of eating something. Well, maybe
that's why you feel that way about fear factor, because
a while I'll be afraid, I want to eat a
freaking testicle of anything. You wouldn't eat a bowl test
What about a pig brain? No? Eat the crap, Dan,
You're also talking to a vegetarian who wouldn't even need
a steak, Right, But I'm saying what I mean is

(01:48:06):
that to me is not scary. It's not that's not scary.
It's not it's not death defying, right, it's no one
is scared to eat something. They're they're grossed out by it,
but they're not scared of it. They're not scared of
a thing abroccoli. They may be grossed out by it,
but they're not scared of it. So are you? Are
you saying right now that there's only a few things

(01:48:27):
in life that you're very fearful of? Yeah? Sure, snakes? Yeah?
What else? Death? Okay, and that's a pretty common one. Yeah.
Is that it? Those two things? Um? I don't know. Probably.
I mean, I have this like fear of it's not heights,
but I hate the feeling you get when you go

(01:48:47):
down a roller coasters. I hate that feeling. It's awesome,
that stomach makes me vomit genuinely. That's not good, I know.
So I can't go on roller coasters, even though, like
I am very adventurous and I would do a lot
of things. Roller coasters are awesome. I would skydive because
people tell me, you don't get that. You don't get
that feeling. So it's not necessarily heights, but it's that
feeling that literally like your stomach literally drops. Yeah, yeah,

(01:49:09):
I don't like that, Okay, yeah. Scared of sharks. I'm
scared of sharks. I'm scared of the ocean. I'm scared
of like the deep blue ocean, not like the ocean
on the shoreline. Well, I'm a little scared of that
because of sharks and sting rays and jellyfish. But I
am terrified. I like my wife, like we went on
our honeymoon, I was scared. It was the first time
I ever flew over the ocean because I was scared
of crashing in the ocean and then never find it

(01:49:32):
is the best place to crack No, because then you'll
never find my body. That's not necessarily true, because if
there's a fire, the ocean will put it out. No. No,
if you crash in the ocean, you're dead, okay, And sharks,
to be fair, though, you're much more likely to I
don't know the stats on this, think you are much
more likely to survive if it is an ocean crash

(01:49:53):
rather than a land crash. But you're not going to
find my body in the ocean. The sharks are. So
that's my thing. And so I was, I will not
go out there where you cannot see land. No freaking way,
sign me up. Never. You never go jet skiing in
the ocean, Well, yeah, right by the shore where you can.
But I go out a little bit, but I can

(01:50:14):
see land. If I can't see land, I ain't going.
So you'll never go on like a cruise exactly. My
wife and I went on a cruise. She wanted to
go on a cruise, and I said, no cruise for me,
because you got to be able to see the land.
That's why we did the Alaskan cruise because you can
see land. Boom did go on a cruise that you
saw land the whole time, and we were definitely the

(01:50:35):
youngest people on that boat by twenty years. You know.
It's funny though. I went on Alaskan cruise too, and
I definitely was a young one on. It's definitely like
the older crowd, a crowd. Alaska so cool, the most
beautiful place on this planet. People. Oh, everybody wants to
go to Hawaii, and I love Hawaii. Never been there. Well,

(01:50:56):
everybody wants to go there. Though everybody talks about Hawaii.
Go to Alaska. Go to Alaska. You have to experience
that place. It's great. It is great. Yeah, that was
a good spot. That was so fun. The deep blue ocean,
that's fierce. I don't I don't want. I mean, I
swam with steing rays because they're trained. They're not trained
there in the ocean you're in. They take you on

(01:51:18):
a boat to a place. Yeah, but they're used to
seeing people. If I just get in the ocean at
the beach at steingra got you or jellyfish? Wow, I
will say my sister got by jelly thank you. That's
exactly what I'm talking about. That's why she was on
spring break with friends and she got stung by jellyfish.
Did her friend her I don't really remember what they
ended up. Ye, so I that's what I mean. I
am terrified about that. So like my wife grew up

(01:51:42):
going to the beach, I grew up going to the lake.
So I love the lake. I'll get in the lake,
let's go swimming. Don't care about the green water, like
not being on the seat. That's what I love. The ocean.
There's snakes in that. That's okay though, even though you're
afraid of sneaks. Yes, well, they're snakes in the ground,
and I walk on the ground. I just don't. But

(01:52:02):
that same logic, lunch of deep ocean. I don't like
it because there's sharks and the jellyfish and the ocean.
You hear about these people like always at the beach
and they get taken away by a current. So why
the heck do I want to get in the beach?
You don't? I mean, like that just seems terrible, Like
it seems like the worst place in the world. Okay,
But I'm just making sure you realize you're logic. It's

(01:52:25):
not the same, is exactly you just said? Like, oh, well,
you know snakes are in the legal you know they're
also in the ground. I walk on. Well, it's no
different than the ocean. It's the same concept. No, No,
it's not the ocean. You can't see the land, and
there's jellyfish that sting you, there's sting rays to get you,

(01:52:45):
there's sharks that bite you, and there's currents that take
you bye bye. Yeah, the same stuff can happen in
the lake. I've never been in a lake and the
current is take me away. Yeah. Have you never heard
of like boat accidents or yeah, but the boat accident
you can get to it real quick because you're right
on there on the lake. Not that I've been on
lake like table Rock Lake. There's times where you don't
really see land. There's moments I don't know what that

(01:53:08):
is table Rock Lake and in Missouri and Arkansas. Never
been Oh beautiful lake. Great at lea I think I mean,
also drink a lot. Okay, here we go. Now we
don't even know where the lake is now. Oh you know,
I was on Lake Watch, Hatchie. Oh you know the
one hold there. You know what a lot of people
are on the lakes and oceans and that's what they're doing. Okay,
I'm just telling you the ocean is not my friend. Well,

(01:53:30):
we learned your deepest So my wife and I always
have a battle when we go on vacation. She always
wants to go to the beach, and I'm like the
beaby on the beach. So you don't even have to
go into the ocean. What theck am I doing there?
I don't want to just lay there in the hot sand.
That's not your feeding. You don't even have to go
very far. Right, let me tell you how much fun
it is you just sit there and bake in the sun. Well,

(01:53:51):
this sounds like a very personal morament that you don't
want to go to the deep blue ocean. I mean,
and it's not like it does not sound fun to
sit there and bake in the hot sun and not
get in the water. You're more of the snowboards I've been.
I've never been there, never been snowboarding, never been skiing,
never done anything. Was like going to the lake. Sign
me up for the lake, or sign me up for Vegas.
Let's go there. You have it. You want to make

(01:54:13):
a lunch fox half, you send them to a lake
or Vegas, but not the deep dark ocean. No, God,
it's so scary. Oh man, Okay, well check out this.
This is when somebody on the show had to eh
chocolate covered cicada this week and the wheel man the
wheel will get you, and it did this week for somebody.
So listen to it now, but then watch it back

crunch in there too. Number one, it's time to eat

example I showed you guys was the top layer, which
wasn't cicada. Oh what was chocolate? They're actually shaped like
a bug, like a bug. I won't be able to

(01:54:56):
look at it here. Oh wow, that's literally it's just
a whole cicada with chocolate over it. Okay, So we
have a wheel. We'll spin the wheel. If it lands
on you, your name comes off the wheel. Last one
standing is the loser, and you'll eat a chocolate covered
cicada here on the air. All right. Why is the

it off. Come on, let's spine. I didn't know when
to be dramatic about this, so I'm so thankful Amy

(01:56:00):

I thought it was gonna get to me. Man I
manifested that manifest manifested no more than ours. Your manifest
is so strong hand on me. He's off the wheel.
Who do you all want me to manifest for me? Please?

(01:56:21):

Let's spend that. We that's looking good, looking good, looking good?
There googa stupid? Is that who you manifested? She manifested her? Bobby?

(01:56:42):
I didn't. I almost landed on him coming off the wheel.
I know where my bread is. Buttered sounds so weird,
you butter bread? Bobby explaining to do all right, here
we go. Oh my gosh, it's down to three. No

eat a chocolate cover. It's act five percent chance. Let's

(01:57:05):
spind No, no, no, no, no, come one, suckers, like,
where are you going? It's been taking off the wheel. Yeah,

(01:57:25):

I love this wheel though today as a good looking wheel.
Lunch Box is so excited. When he yelled, spit came out.
He rolled out of his mouth because I was getting

mean to take my spot. Yeah, I'll take your spot
for fifty bucks. Now you're selling yourself. Yes, he's making money.
I mean I would do that, but the listeners are
gonna get mad. Yeah okay, so I won't do it.

(01:58:29):
I first because I for sure would do that that
was funny. The listeners will get mad, and I want
to the integrity of the wheel. I believe in it. Okay, Ray,
it's you and I. Anything you want to say, uh,
not looking forward to eating it. I'm guessing it's me.
I mean, honestly, I haven't gambled in four months. I'm
gambling now and I'm losing. Okay, here we go. Let's
spend that. We come on, come on, come on, come on,

(01:58:56):

so come on, and he's walking in the studio up
for grabs on chocolate covered cicada. Look at that. That's beautiful.

(01:59:21):
All right, buddy, here we go slow motion. I'm yeah, yo,
yo yo. Let me know if you got me on camera?
I got, I got. How do you feel right now?
I mean, not looking forward to it, but definitely like
channeling you on Bear Girls. Sometimes you just gotta eat
bugs and stuff like that. Like it does look like chocolate,
but I can see the cicada easily underneath it, So

(01:59:42):
I'm not thinking chocolate. I'm thinking bug. Let us hear
as you crunch it. Here we go two one in
his mouth. Go, oh my god. Right, it was really crunchy. Yeah,
small part of it like a kid cat real nice.

(02:00:08):
I mean I can feel the tentacles and stuff. You
can feel the wings. The wings are tough to you.
It's God had a taste decent. It wasn't god awful.
If I needed to in like a pinch, I would
eat that. So like if you were a little bit
of chocolate and a pinch, what if we washed the
chocolate off? No spin it again, chocolate covered cicada. And

(02:00:33):
now we know And like they say, knowing is and
no one is half the battle. It's the best bits
of the week with Morgan number two. All, y'all, that
