Best bits of the week with Morgan. It's listener Q&A. Where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions. Here we are, listener Q&A. Eddie, you ready for this? I'm ready. We're going to start with shoutouts. Eddie is my favorite.

So positive and happy. That's from Lauren. Oh, Lauren, that's so sweet. I think it's cool when people say I'm their favorite, but I kind of got burned. of like when we do meet and greets with Bobby. Yeah. They'd always come to me and they whisper me like, you're my favorite.

I'm like, if I'm your favorite, don't whisper it. Let this dude hear you too. Yeah, you're like, say it out loud. Yeah. Say it with your chest. So I appreciate that. I love the positive energy Eddie gives off. Kelsey from Florida.

Thank you, Kelsey. Love the positive energy and happy vibes you both give. This is Gretchen from Idaho. Yeah. Love you both on best bits. The laughter is infectious. Yes, we do laugh a lot. We do.

And then we got a nine-year-old from Houston, Aizen. He says, you two are the best. duo. There we go. So shout out. See even nine year olds know what's up. I know. And we're going to do a little rapid fire kind of here because I have to go check out, get a little physical thing now. Yeah. No, let's get to it. I'm done. Health care stuff going on. That's, that's, that's nerve-wracking. Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. I'm sure you're fine. Yeah. Hopefully I'm not, though, because it'd be cool to have an answer, you know? You know what I mean? It's like the catch-shy too. What is Eddie's golf handicap? Morgan, have you ever thought about taking up golf? This is both from

Michael. Michael, I'll answer first. I'm a 14-15. That's realistic. That's a real handicap. I will tell you, though, that I'm probably headed north on that because after I broke my arm, kind of shooting back in like the high 90s and the hundreds, which is like pretty average for a golfer, but for the last, I don't know, 10 years of my life, maybe 15 years,

I've shot in the 80s. Okay. So is that good? I don't know. You might as well be speaking another language to me. Okay. So when you look at a golf score, the golf score. the golf course, they're all different,

but most golf courses are par 72s. Okay. That means that that's the amount of strokes that you should probably play that golf course. Like every swing, putts, drive. Anytime you hit the ball, that's one stroke, right? So they're saying on average, people finish this golf course with 72 strokes.

That's an average par score. Okay? So when you're handicapped, you look at like, so anytime you go over the average, that's another stroke. So when I say I'm 15, on average, this is just, this is not exactly how they do it, but this is just kind of dumbed it down.

Yeah. I'm saying I'm usually 15 strokes above average. Okay. But since I've broken my arm, I'm probably 22 strokes. What's like the best handicap? Oh, like a scratch. Zero?

I mean, that's not the best, but that's like really good. Does it mean you get like a hole in one? No, that means that you're just, you're, you're, you play perfect. Okay. You play perfect. The amount doesn't make any sense in my brain. Okay.

It's okay. It's right. We attempted and I really appreciate it. But nice. The pros are under. They're always under par. They're that good. Got it.

Okay. We are not. Probably Michael and I, we're probably over. I mean, we're way over par. There you go. There you go.

And no, Michael, too. Hey, you know what? You know what? Michael and I understand each other. I'm really happy for you guys. We're good. I really love Top Golf. That's not all I got all I got.

I love that stuff. But like I've been on a course maybe twice in my life and I really enjoy drinking out of the golf cart. Yeah, that's the best part. That's where we are. Caitlin wants to know she got her first wrangler and she loves it. But I want to get ducked. How does it work? What?

Well, Caitlin. It just happens. Yeah. People have to leave it. No, it's not. Yes, it is. It's annoying. I'm like, what's that on my car?

Oh, it doesn't make you happy? No. Mine always make me happy. And guys don't get a lot of ducks. Girls get all the ducks. I leave, I don't know, I don't know what you're talking about with that because I see a Jeep and I just leave a duck. Nah, I think it's code for supplement the D with an F. Yes, it is.

Take the D turn it into an F and that's what it is. I have ducked so many people and I have no idea who drives that car. Morgan, you shouldn't admit that. Okay, anyway, kill it. It just happens. People just leave it. Although if you do start ducking other Jeeves, I do feel like energy comes back to you. Okay, whatever.

Homeless man gave me a duck the other day. It's not how it worked. And apparently you should replace the D with the F. He was not and he didn't do that. He was like, you need a duck. Here you go. He threw me a duck. You need to replace the D with stuff.

And you know what else is cool now? If I pull up to someone like in a red light next to someone and their tops open, I'll throw a duck in theirs. I wanted to do that. Yeah, it's awesome. I did it and it was like a family in there. They're like, yeah, give another one. I threw like five ducks over. Like how much joy that is.

Well, that's because I didn't want the ducks. Oh my gosh. Favorite thing to grill, Christine in Ohio. Oh, well, I'm going to say smoke, a brisket. Smoke a brisket. Smoke a brisket. It's my favorite because it's the hardest thing to do. All brisketes are different.

They're temperamental. They are, you know, it depends on how the fat is mixed in with the meat. I'm sorry, I'm not letting me at you. No, I know. I know. You're a vegetarian. You have no idea what I'm talking about. And I love that these people are asking these questions because you don't know how to answer them

because you don't know anything about meat and golf. So this is my time. Dad's time to shine This is dad's time Smoking and brisket is my favorite And I would say out of every I'm pretty good now But I'd say every third brisket

Is perfect for me Okay At first it was like every tenth So it's just it's an art It's an art to smoke brisket And you get to perfect it You really have to work on it Okay

All right And I've invested my time Rividing information Thank you for all of that And you don't care at all I butt Christine does. There we go.

She wanted to know. Are you still reading 15 minutes a day, Jen? Reading? Yeah. Did I say I was reading 15 minutes a day? Apparently. Oh, my Bible? Is it my Bible?

Yeah. So I was doing, I'm doing daily Bible. I'm still doing it. But I'm not doing 15 minutes a day because some days I'm just like, I don't feel like reading. And so I will wait like three days and then I'll just catch up. We're really disciplined. Life is hard, Morgan. Life is hard and some days I'm like...

I wouldn't be me if I wasn't giving you a hard time, okay? I know. I know, but I'm still reading it. I'm trucking and do a two-year plan to read the whole Bible. Okay. Two years, baby. I love this for you. We're in it.

Can you give me some Bible trivia so I don't mess up anymore? You're in lunchbox. It's so bad. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court. hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much. I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing.

Greg Alesspian and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man.

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target.

He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Wodom. My next guest, you know from Stepbrothers, Anchorman,

Saturday Night Live. and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come, look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.

Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. Mm-hmm. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.

Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation.

There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. I'm Tom Ramos. I'm Tom Boe.

On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines. I'm not worried about Policic. I'm not worried about Balagan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team.

And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team, ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcast, wherever you get your podcast. Does anybody from the show own a painting that your wife has done? Sharon. No. I don't think anyone, any show members do.

There's some listeners that have bought a couple of her paintings, which is really cool, and they send back pictures of it on their wall and my wife just loves it. Like, she's loving the whole process. You know, I do need a piece of artwork. Does she just do them and then she sells them? Or does she commission them? She does commission.

Okay. So if you're interested, get with her and then tell her kind of what kind of colors like you want. And then she'll send you some designs. And then like if you like them, we'll do it. Okay. Yeah, I got to figure out what I want. It's for my podcast room. I have a little wall that I think would be really cool, but I need to finish that room.

It's kind of been a delay of my firm. Do it. Like she has like probably 20 paintings that she's done that she's selling that are just already up on the website. And then she also does commission. So people like hit her up and be like, hey, do you like, I want these three colors. And she'd be like, okay, cool. Okay. How's this?

And then they like it and she sells it. Oh, nice. Okay. Do that website for? El GarciaArt.com. Okay. L Garcia, just the letter L. Okay.

How are you dealing with your oldest kiddo going to prom if he is going to prom? Laura. He is not going to prom yet. He went to homecoming. She put the helicopter emoji next to this question. Stop. Stop. These fools give me the helicopter label, but I'm a good parent.

I care about my kids. And you know what? When my son and I went to go see Kendrick Lamar, which is a cool father-father son trip in a concert, just me and him, we've bought. And he told me, he's like, you're a cool dad. Like, I think you're a great dad. I love that. Yeah, seriously, because I am not helicopter-ish. I care about my kids and I want to make sure that they're okay.

That's it. I have no opinion on this because I don't know. Well, she put a helicopter emoji on it. I think you're trying to be funny. You know. I hate it because, like, really, I'm just trying to be a good parent. And if caring is helicopter-ish, then I'm a freaking helicopter parent. I think you are a great father Eddie.

And from what I've seen, you're not a helicopter. But I also am not in your house. I've not yet. I just know the few experiences the kids have been around. I mean, at the concert, my son want to go to the restroom. I go with him just in case. Dude. Okay.

How old is he? 17. Bro. I'll go with you, like, just in case, you know. Bro. Bro. You never know. You're right.

You never know. What if there's a fight. What if there's a fight in the bathroom? and he gets caught up in it. Like, I'll be there. Okay. I was, I was like really with you.

And now you lost me. Bro, you're judging me, bro. I am. You're judging me. That I am. I still think you're a good dad, but like, there was a judgment happening.

I knew you would react like that. That's why I said it. Oh, my God. Did you take music lessons in school or post school? Or are you self-taught? No. Barbara, I'm self-taught. I don't know anything about music.

My music knowledge came from me being alone in my bedroom, just messing with a guitar and being like, whoa, that kind of sounds like Metallica. And then I figure it out. And then I would be like, that is Metallica. And then I would learn a song. And then I'd learn another song. And I'd learn another song.

My brother is really good. Like, he was in marching band and knows how to read music. So any kind of times I had questions, I'd go to him. That's kind of how I learn. Still don't know how to read music. Oh. And in Nashville, it's tough. Because like every time we do the million dollar show, our band director, Ryan,

she's always like, I send you the music chart, like for these. songs and I'm just like Ryan I don't I don't read I can't read that so you just learn him by like teaching yourself yeah so Ryan has to sit with you separately and be like all right here's how this song goes this other songs goes wow yeah have you thought about teaching yourself nah it's too late yeah well it's never too late no I know but I'm like I'm not gonna we've talked about this I'm not gonna take something else on I know we don't have a time I got it and plus I can fake it till I make it now so like let's just keep doing that okay if you had to spend this will be our last question if you had to been a month in another country, where would you go?

In another country? Yeah. Jessica, that's a good question. A month is a long time. So it would have to be a beachy country like, like Tahiti or something. Is that its own country? I think it's like an island. Tahiti's an island.

I don't know. Don't look at me for geography. Because I would say like Hawaii, but that's not a country. That's the U.S. So hold on. Give me two seconds. Okay. I'll do my answer.

I think I would do. Italy. I really wanted to go to Italy for a really long time and I just feel like I would do so well drinking wine and eating cheese all the time. Oh yeah, you get fat too. No, because they walk everywhere. Oh, is that why? They don't have cars? Well, they have cars

but like you walk or you like Vespa. I don't know. Cheese and wine sounds like I'll be fat after a month. And they have baked goods everywhere. Maybe it's not like Italy. Maybe I need to go back to like France. I don't know, just somewhere in Europe probably. No, Italy sounds awesome though. But they do have a, you know what? And they say that it's all like, it's

There's no preservatives. Exactly. And it's healthy. It's like food to table. You make pasta all the time. That's what I'm doing. Okay. So my,

my answer is Tahiti. And it is its own country? French Polynesia. Right. Is that right? French Polynesian or Nisia? I don't know. It says Nisia.

Okay. I didn't know. I googled Tahiti and it says French Polynesia. Nice. Look at this. Look at that. Look at that island. I'm zoomed in.

It's just an island. Yeah. Probably the size of, I don't know. How can get there. Like obviously plain. plane. It's off the coast of California. Look at that. Oh, yeah, you're all the way out there. Wait, so is that? Look, it's in the middle of nowhere. That's what I want, Morgan. Just in the middle of nowhere on beach. I want to be in Tahiti on that island.

I want to fish and I want to hang out with the locals at bars. I want to hike those mountains. Look at those mountains. Those mountains. Hike those mountains and then go drink beer after I'm done hiking and go. I love this life for you. Go surf a little bit because there's. There's got to be great ways in Tahiti. And then go snorkel, go look at fish. Yeah. And then go fish again.

I'm sure there are golf courses on here. Look, there's a golf course right there. Play golf. You have all kinds of options. So you'll be in Tahiti doing all the local things and I'll be eating pasta and cheese in Italy. On the other side of the world. How cool would that be if we got to have a month excursion and then we like reported back? And Bobby pay for it all?

Well, I didn't go that far because that's not how we're going to get it done. But I'm just saying we get like a month off our work to go try. this. But like, if Bobby gave you a whole month off of work, though, like, what would you do? Heck yeah, I'd go travel. I would. I would go backpack. You'd dip into your personal, your, your, your me money? Yeah. Shoot. That's what it's for. No, it's not what me. I have been saving money to travel. Okay. Okay. That's a big portion of it. But you would blow it like next week. Well, I wouldn't blow it all, but I'd take a portion of it out. All right. Okay. If I get a month off, if I was like, hey, you have your job. Just come back in a month. Heck yeah, I would go travel.

I would do it in a heartbeat. We'll find you in Italy. Literally. And then I'll probably never come back. That's okay. She don't have to come back. I don't think I'd come back either. We started doing the show from Tahiti.

We try and find a time so it doesn't work. Sorry, Morgan. I'm fishing. I can't do it tomorrow. We tried. All right, Eddie. Thanks for being here. Thank you, Morgan.
