What is up, y'all happy post Thanksgiving. It is the weekend, which officially means it's time to start celebrating Christmas. This is the best bits of the week. I'm Morgan. What I do is break down the show this week. And because it was a short holiday week, we only have a few shows to choose from. But trust me, there's a lot of good there. My favorite part about this podcast, though, is I bring somebody on from the show.

and we just get into all the nitty-gritty details of work, life, and whatever else in between. This weekend, that is lunchbox. Gubble, gobble, gobble, gobble. Is that your best gobble? Yeah, one turkey. Survive Thanksgiving. Woo-hoo.

Why? Because you didn't cut down a turkey. Wait, don't, don't share because we're going to talk about Thanksgiving. You don't cut down a turkey. I know. He's going to shoot down. I just didn't want to say it. I know, but you said cut down because you were thinking a Christmas tree.

You were going to say Christmas tree. True. Yeah. You're not wrong. Because you're thinking about Christmas already. And it's like, Yeah, but it's okay. But I'm here, you're here, we're all here.

They're all here. Hello, everybody. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoyed that Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Yeah, we got a lot to talk about. I mean, I want to hear about your Thanksgiving and I want to hear what you did, all the things, okay? I got it. All right, let's go.

I love when people of other genres stopped by our show and this one was no exception. Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20. Yes, he is that guy, the lead singer, and he stopped by our show to talk about that band, all of their years that they've spent together. Plus, he also talked about his Christmas project and how his collaboration with Brad Paisley happened. So I'm telling y'all, great interview. It's going down right now. Number seven.

On the Bobby Bones Show now. Rob, let me say I'm a massive fan, and I believe this is the first time that you and I have ever spoken, so I will lead being a complete super fan and just go, you're the best. You're the best. Oh, man. Thank you, man. That's very nice of you to say. I'm glad you got my script.

Yes. I did want to ask because I've been a fan for such a long time and whenever you put out new music I'm always drawn to it but I did see when you put out the Christmas record that song that you and Brad Paisley did together how did this

how did this collaboration come with you and Brad? You know we were still pretty much in lockdown the whole time we were making this over the summer and so you know when I wanted to get friends to come in I had to literally just reach out into my phone book and have people that I knew you know I didn't have like it was going to be too hard to get you know my people

to call their people and try and get, you know, the label to reach out to management and all that stuff. So I just, I wrote a country song that, you know, it was a country banger that, and the way that Brad plays guitar, the way that he sings, it was kind of a no-brainer. Like, I just was hoping. I went through it like, Manifest Destiny. Like, I went through it like, oh, I'm telling myself and my wife, like, oh, yeah, this is the song I'm doing with Brad Paisley. And she's like, have you called him yet? I'm like, no, but I'm sure he's going to do it. And then he did it. I just attributed to the fact that He really didn't have a lot to do either, and he was kind of in lockdown and bored. So I lucked out with the timing.

You guys are playing it at the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting on NBC December 1st. Is it nerve-wracking to play a song on a national stage that you haven't done 500 times? Yeah, I think so. I mean, there's an excitement level there, and especially because, you know, it's not like we haven't been on the road, right? So we haven't been out. Like, the first time I played in a year and a half was me and Carlos in Central Park, right? And there's like 40,000 people. But it was like two songs.

come out, you get really, really hyped up, and then it's over. And that's the same kind of thing when you do these TV shows. Like, you're kind of hyped up, and the whole day you're there, and you're on set, and you're doing the rehearsals and the sound checks and the run-throughs. And then it's time. And then two minutes later, and it's over. And then, you know, they're moving on to, you know, I don't know, the news of the day. Whenever you talk about these performances and it's over, like, I think I saw you're doing the Thanksgiving parade, too. Yeah. Do you actually sing, or do you have to lip sync because it's a moving float? Nobody gets to play, no band, no singing.

It has to be, because they're not rigged up, right, at all. But then I was curious, I've always wondered what happens, you know, because they kind of moved that spot and they perform, and then the parade moves on and somebody else moves in that spot. So I always wondered, like, what the hell do they do the rest of the time, right? So the rest of the time, apparently, it's just like a regular parade. And, like, Christmas music comes from my Hallmark Channel float while I wave to people, just like a normal parade.

Rob Thomas is on with us. one of my favorite albums, yourself or someone like you, just turned 25 years old. I mean, do you look back at that and go that was yesterday or does it feel like just an eternity ago? You know, I think like my wife and I've been together 22 years and simultaneously it feels like I don't remember a time before it and it feels like it was yesterday. I'll like kind of all at the same time. Rob Thomas is on with us and we're talking about Macy's Wish List Wednesday. And so there are a couple things here. First, I want to know before we talk about the actual items that we're going to talk about, What are your holiday plans?

I've been celebrating Christmas since June, because I've been here making this Christmas record and getting everything build up and ready. So I'm really looking forward, I think, to... You know, I live here in Westchester, New York, so I'm just waiting for it to get nice and crisp. And, you know, like, for us, it starts right after Macy's parade. Like, as soon as Santa goes past Macy's, Christmas begins.

And for us, it's all about just, you know, being home and enjoying it. It's Macy's Wishlist Wednesday, where we've curated Wishlist, featuring the hottest gifts this year. For example, there were gifts under 20 bucks during Black Friday and Macy's Thanksgiving parade. That was so weird. At first, I thought it was Macy Gray's wish list. And I was like, that's all. I thought she just wanted like a big puffy coat. Like, I'm not sure.

There's $4.99 Levi's T-shirts. There's an $11.99 drone, which that drone seems like it would be easy to buy because if you lost it in a tree, it wouldn't be that painful. That's the, I think the 1199 drone is the preferred drone for spying on your neighbors. Because, you know, like you could fly it right over there and then immediately just get it. get out and run away from it and just disavow any knowledge of knowing anything about the drone. I could get four of them. You guys can check out Macy's.com slash wish list to build your own wish list for all your gifting needs. And once you have a major list, go to Macy's.com slash believe to write a letter to Santa because for every letter submitted to Santa online,

Macy's donates a dollar to the Make a Wish Foundation, which helps to grant wishes to kids who are fighting critical illnesses. And be sure to tune in to another epic Macy's Thanksgiving parade tomorrow. Rob will be there. Rob, are you guys going back on the road with Matchbox 20 next year? That's the plan, yeah, big summer tour. What's the biggest song people sing to, like, when you look back at that whole project? Our born-to-run moment is like we can't, I don't think we're allowed to leave without playing push. I kind of feel like that's the one like we have to, we have to make sure that no matter what we play that song.

Rob Thomas, one of the biggest bands from, you know, my lifetime. And now, you know, he'll be on, he'll be lip-sinking and waving during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. I've been working on it. If you can see me on the monitor, I'm working on my way. Pretty good. It needs a little work, but it's pretty good. You're getting there. All right, Rob Thomas, everybody.

Rob, thank you, buddy. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. ABC announced a new show coming for holiday time, and it's with a bunch of boy bands, and honestly, super stoked about this one. But on the show this week, we shared our favorite boy band songs, which was fun to listen to, and you'll get to hear that in a little bit. But lunch, we got to talk, okay?

You had CDs growing up, right? I had a few. Okay. I want to know what CDs you had because for me, I had in sync and I had Backstreet Boys. Those were two like on repeat CDs that I had. I do believe that the first two CDs I got, one was Aerosmith Biggins, big ones. I don't know, maybe it was like their greatest hits. Okay.

Got that for Christmas. Yeah. And then what was the other one I got? Huh, that's a good question. But you don't like remember, you don't remember putting them on repeat and like singing along to him? No, listen, I didn't listen to music really until I was 16 and I got a car and there was a radio in my car. And so then you turn on the radio and you listen to it. The only person I really listened to was Tina Turner because we were driving to Chicago one year to see Grandma and Grandpa and we stopped at McDonald's.

And if you bought a, what do you call it? Meal? No, value meal. For an extra $2.99, you could get Tina Turner's greatest hits or someone else. And my mom was like, we'll take the Tina Turner's greatest hits. And it was on cassette. And we listened to it the whole way. And I was like, this lady's amazing. But like music wasn't a driving factor for me. I didn't sit around and watch MTV and watch music videos like a lot of kids. I never did that. Like me and my buddies, we never sat and just like, oh my gosh, we got to see this music video. So CDs were not, like I don't have CDs that I'm just like, oh, I'm. I remember that CD. It was amazing. Like, oh, I went to the store that day and bought it. I don't have a CD that I can tell you that I was just dying to go by. I do know that my brother and sister loved New Kids on the Block. And it wasn't a CD. It was a cassette. But my brother would get every time we got in the car, they wanted to listen to hanging tough. Hang in tough. Are you tough enough? That's from New Kids on the Block?

Yes. Okay. I did not know that song. Yes. But I have some questions here based on the story you're telling. Go for you of them. McDonald's used to give cassettes with their value meals. I think it was just like a promotion. I don't know why.

And it was like one song on the cassette. No, no, it was her greatest hits. It had all of her songs on this for $3? For $2.99. What? Yeah. And we bought it and we listened to it the whole way side A and side B to Chicago and back. And I was like, this lady is the bomb.com.

Okay. So that's where your love of Tina Turner came from. That's where it came from. And so, yes, I just was not a music person. Like, my parents, my dad still gets mad at me to the day because we used to play name that tune on the show. And I was terrible. And he was like, how are you so bad? He was like, I used to play the Beatles and all the classics for you, the Eagles, the Who.

I mean, and he was like, we had those records on all the time at the house. How do you not remember that? And I was like, I just don't pay attention, I guess. I feel like you claimed at one point that your parents really didn't raise you on music. Well, I mean, I guess they did and I didn't pay attention because I just, we were not music lovers like most people. Like you never went to concerts when you were a kid or anything? Nope. Nope. But according to your dad, you guys did listen to a lot of music.

Right. And they have an album, they have a record player and they have tons of records, tons of them. They love music. My parents went to concerts. I just never went to concerts, really. What about like your siblings? Did they like have a music attachment? Did they? My sister liked the chicks before they were called the Dixie Chicks.

Yeah. I know she liked them. My brother, I listened to some Metallica because my brother liked Metallica and they were really good. But I couldn't tell you my sister's five favorite artists. I would say Dixie Chicks and that's it. My brother was Metallica and probably that's it. I just don't remember them being, but they like the new kids on the block.

I know that. I remember that one. Okay. Oh, another cassette tape that someone burned for me, like it gave it to me for Christmas was CNC Music Factory. I don't even know who that is, what that is. I think that's a band or group. I don't remember, but yes.

Okay, so you remember cassettes more than CDs? No, I mean, I'm just saying those are the cassettes I remember CDs. Because I, like, for me, I never had a single cassette. I can tell you, like, Death Row Records Greatest Hits, Volume 2, if you can Google that, I believe hit them up by Tupac is on that one. Okay. I'll trust you. And we listened to that in high school on repeat. In my friend Lauren, she got a car when she turned 16 and we jammed that.

We get in her car and be like, hit him up, put it on. And we listen to Tupac all the time. And she almost killed me on her like right after she got her license because she pulled out to the highway with no lights on. And it was really scary. But that really cracks me up because, I mean, I never had cassette. So you were older enough than me to have experienced that, but I never had that. Yeah.

So did you ever have a Walkman? Maybe one that I got at a garage sale. I never carried one around with me. Dang, I mean, you really, like so if music wasn't your thing, right? Yeah. Then what was? Being outside. Like sports?

Sports. Activities. Activity. I mean, outside on my bike, throwing stuff at cars. I mean, anything and everything, just. I was not sitting in front of the TV watching MTV. And you did that through high school. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I went to my first concert, like, concert, like big concert, like at an arena when I was in college. That was the first, Tina Turner and Lionel Richie was my first, like, big concert. I mean, really, dang, you stood attached to Tina Turner that whole time because of that cassette player from McDonald's. That's what I'm saying. I never, I never had any, like, oh, I want to go to these concerts. So I went to Tina Turner and then I think my second one was the Dixie Chicks. Did you like that concert?

It was great. Okay. It was cool. It was when I was a promotions intern for Case KVet in Austin, Texas. And I worked the event and then I got done working. They're like, oh, you want to go watch it? I was like, sure. So I went in the arena and watched the Dixie Chicks and they're really good.

That's so wild to me because I feel like as you get older from, you know, being a kid to getting older, you have phases of your life, right? like phases where you're really into music or you're really into sports or like it just kind of your interest change over time but yours consistently stayed just chilling outside playing sports yeah I'm watching sports I mean that's what I did and I talked to my friends now and I'm like we just were not into music like most people were we don't I don't know maybe I should have been more into music it should speak to me but I just I don't know where people find all these artists but they find these random artists

and I'm just like where do you even find this stuff? It blows my mind that people... Well, it's from social media now. Now, but I'm saying back then. Back then, how did you find them? Lunchbox, the radio. But I'm talking about like small artists. Like they didn't play small artists.

I'm talking they would find these niche, whatever you call, is that what you call niche? Niche. Like, and they would go to these little concerts where there's 100 people and I'm like, where do you hear about these people? people. Yeah, I mean, I can't speak to before, but it would be like CDs, magazines, and TV would be the places you want. But like what CDs shaped? Like, what are your CDs? Because I mean, I really just, I can't name CDs. I can't even tell you album covers. Everybody talks about, oh, I remember that album cover. No clue. There's, there's one I can name is Deanna Carter. She's in a field for strawberry wine.

That, whatever that, I don't even know what the album's called, but I remember that one. It was like, oh, that's a hot chick. It's Dina Carter, by the way. I've gotten corrected on that too, so I'm now passing alarm info for you. In Biggins, the one with Aerosmith was blue. Okay. And that's all I remember. And I've heard of that Nirvana one where there's a baby in the pool. But I've, anybody else?

Oh, I think the other one, Biggins and Boys the Men were the two CDs I was given. Those were my two first CDs. Don't know what Boys of Men. I have no idea. Okay. Pretty accurate for your taste still in music. I would feel like. Yeah.

Yeah. So just interesting. That's me. Yeah. I mean, I had in sync backstreet boys. These are the CDs that I can remember. And then I got an iPod and everything changed, right? Yeah.

But I had in sync backstreet boys. I still have an iPod. I did too, my old ones. I still work it. You still use an iPod? Well, how else am I going to listen to my music? Your iPhone. No, but all the ones I paid for on iTunes.

Lunchbox. Those can be on your phone. Oh, really? You really didn't know that? No, I didn't know that. You really still use an iPod? Mm-hmm. I got the blue case on it and everything.

Lunchbox. You... I had no idea that I could transfer my songs I downloaded on iTunes to my iPhone. No idea. No idea. It connects. It's all Apple. What?

But I have no idea how to get them off my iPod to my... You just have to log into your account. What do you mean? I have iTunes. I have iTunes on here? Yes. Oh, so I don't have to connect my iPod to my iPhone? I mean, I would have to look into it for you, but yes.

Hey, that's why I come on the weekend show. I learned some things. Lunchbox, I am so mind-blown right now that you still use an iPod and you did not know you could actually listen to your iTunes songs on your phone. No idea. Oh, my gosh. I don't even remember what I was talking about. Yeah. What?

Mm-hmm. that's hey that's how I roll I mean we were like on the same page I was like yeah I have my old iPods that I used to use and you're like no I still use one do you even still have a charger for that yeah I don't lose chargers chargers are valuable they're expensive

I mean do they even we should open a business we should open a business of just selling chargers you'd be a rich you realize a lot of people do that now right like there's charges everywhere oh like gas stations didn't know that they're everywhere okay you buy cheap one You're not supposed to.

I know. Bad for your phones, but. My bad. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Sometimes I just wonder if you kind of live on an island already. Probably. You crack me up.

Probably. I mean, I probably am on an island and people are like, this dude is an idiot. But this is how I roll. How you've even been functioning with an iPhone baffles me? I mean, I don't really use it very much. I use it to text. Okay. Instagram, Twitter.

And FaceTime every once in a while. That's it. Do you ever get on your Instagram on your phone? Yeah, yeah. I post from that. You got to post from your phone. Okay. So you've learned that tool.

Well, yeah, that's the only way to post on Instagram. Do you ever get on the internet on your phone? Very, yeah, I do every once in a while. Okay. Like if I have to look something up. Okay. But not, it's too hard. Like it's like.

But you generally didn't know you could listen to. No, I know you can listen to music. You can go to, you know, I heart radio. and listen to the Buy a Bone show wherever you're at, we go everywhere with you. I understand that. I didn't know I could get the songs off my iPod onto my iPhone.

Didn't know that. Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, I'd have to do some digging for you, but I'm pretty sure your iTunes would still technically be connected because every time I've gotten to my iTunes account, I still see old songs that I downloaded years ago.

Yeah, I don't know how to do that. Oh, my goodness. My mind is so blown right now. Well, I mean, that's what I'm here. here to do. Well, I was sharing with you the CDs that I had, but honestly, I, yeah, no one cares about that anymore. They're all sitting there going, this dude, they're Googling. They're all Googling right now. Can you? Is your wife more in tune with technology than you are? Yeah. 100%. Does she make fun of you that used to listen to an iPod? No. Does she listen on an iPhone,

her music? Uh, no, she uses the TV usually. Do you know how to do that? that? Yeah. Scroll over to the IHart Radio app and hit it. Okay. So you at least know how to do that on a TV. No, but I just, I mean,

I just learn that you can do play lists. Like if you type in Chris Stapleton. Yeah, you can make a list. No, no, you can get other artists like him. I thought you had to just listen to the album.

Oh, yeah, no. It's great. It's curated music for you. That's what that means. Okay, cool. I'd learn that. I'm just trying to see

if there's any other little tidbits that you're about to, like, break out that you haven't done. No, that's it. That's my iPod update of the week. Do you have like your bank account on your phone? No. No chance. Not a chance in the,

yeah, okay, you lose your phone. Guess what? Someone's got your phone. Well, you have to log into an account. I ain't doing that. You think they can find out your account info? I mean, if they can get in my phone, why can't they get in my bank? Do you have a passcode on your phone? Absolutely.

Okay. Well. But still, what if they, I mean, the hackers are good. Yeah, but most of the time when people steal a phone, they're not a hacker. They're just stealing a phone. Okay, well, let's take that chance. I'm not going to take that one in a million chance. I'm not, that bank account is never going on my phone.

Do you order food on your phone now that you know what Uber Eats is? No, I only used Uber Eats when I was in the hospital. That's it. You don't ever use it now. It's a rip off. No, when you order food from a restaurant, do you call them or do you place it online? No, I prefer to call them. You don't have to go through Uber Eats, but you could go through their website.

Yeah. And you prefer to call them. Yeah. Okay. Listen. But you know that you could go online. I could. Okay.

But you know Uber Eats charges you like six times the price of a regular. Yes. It's insane. It is. And I'm like, I can't pay that much money for something. And here's another thing. I don't ever do delivery. I'm picking up.

You always pick it up. Absolutely. That's fair. If I am not hungover or dying from sickness or something, then I will go pick it up. I'm with you on that. Yeah, I mean, I get that. I understand those, but I'm just, I'm so cheap that those fees and everything, I'm not playing that game.

No chance. No chance. If you ever have to get Uber's, do you do have Uber on your phone though? No, I have Lyft. Okay. Well, you have a right sure. Okay. Yeah.

And the only reason I have Lyft is because it was the first one I downloaded. I didn't, I saw the pink mustache's way back in the day. I was like, I'll take that one. Well, I'm glad to find out that for the most part, you are getting better about being tech savvy. This has been a process. Yep. But I am still mind-blown about the iPod situation. We're going to have to figure that out for you.

Thank you. And, I mean, I don't even know what segment we're going into because I totally lost it. I know. I mean, hey, it's there. We were talking about boy bands. We got led to an iPod and I love it. Okay. Fun fact.

Do you not know, so you don't know who the backstreet, no, not the Backstreet Boys. The new kids on the block are? I know. The only like reference I have to new kids on the block are new kids on the block. Got a bunch of chicks. I don't know. I don't even know the one. Hits.

Hits. Hits. That song. That's the only, like, new kids on the block that I have a reference to. And I don't even think that's a new kids on the block song. No. This is new kids on the block. I think they were a little bit before Factory Boys En sync.

A little bit? They were, like, 10 years before. Like, way before. Uh-huh. Like, they were, like, 1989, 1990. I mean, because I remember getting in the car and my brother and sister wanting this cassette every time. Yeah, no. I didn't listen to them.

But does it sound good? Let me listen to a little. Let me get a vibe. Scoob to Steve's hitting it up. Old school for me. Personally, thanks, Steve. Okay, what were your top three boy bands then?

Well, I mean, it would be in sync backstreet boys. And I don't think I have a third one. I mean, during this segment, I get trolled because I chose the Jackson 5 song, which honestly, I did think they were a boy band. In my mind, I did. All right. I just think like a, just a group. group of guys. If they're dancing at all, they're a boy band. But I guess the instrument factor.

Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots are a boy band. No, because there's only two of them. It's not a full band. But you said if there's boys and there's dancing. I said a bunch of guys dancing. Like five. Oh, okay. Like five. You know, like five. It's five. Yeah, like five. Because 98 degrees was only three. Was it really? I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. Nick Lachey, his brother. I think it's four. And some other guy thought. Yeah. Because like once you hit that four max, because like one direction. right or um gosh bts yes i mean they're huge they're full and they're they're dancing so i do get that instrument part why jackson five one i didn't even realize anybody like guitarist i just loved

the song boy i'm just i'm sorry i only have certain references to things so i don't i'm i'm still young ish so like there's only certain things so i've only heard that song and i've loved it right got it i would have never known that they weren't boy man because I never saw them on TV. I never watched videos on them. It's a good point. But I did watch Backstreet Boys. I mean, in sync religiously. I have all of their CDs. Those were the boy bands of my time. Yeah, I didn't know anything. I mean, I was just like, I know who they are. I mean, I don't know their songs. I know some of them, but I don't know. Bye bye bye. Do you know that one? That's Justin Timberlake. Yeah. So one, the in sync.

I want it that way. Tell me why. I don't know which band that is. I mean, at this point to me, they kind of intermingle. No, the one you just sang, who was it? I want it that way. I believe it's backstreet boys, right, Eddie? Yeah, I think it is. But honestly, between the two, like, you could play a bunch of different songs and they'd start to cross over to me because they sound similar. Yeah, I just don't, I mean, I don't know.

But I still had both of all of their albums. Okay. Did you go see them in concert? No, I don't think I ever saw them. Because my family was huge country music fans. Gotcha. So we always went to country music. And Wichita, Kansas,

before, you know, I was in high school. Nobody from that pop genre was going there. Country was. Really? Yeah. I mean,

I saw Shania Twain in Wichita Kansas. Okay. And you had a lot of country artists coming there. Not a lot of pop. It was a big deal with other genres came to Wichita. Yeah. And not now. It's pretty cool.

Your parents took you to concerts because, I mean, even if I wanted to go, go to a concert, my parents wouldn't have taken me. I mean, we wanted to go to the circus and they would take us to the parking lot beforehand and pet the elephants and then we'd get in the car and leave because they weren't going to, they were like, we ain't going to pay for tickets. So this is where the money thing happens with you.

I honestly didn't know that was, I thought that was the circus until I was, I don't, I don't even want to admit how old. So. You thought the parking lot was the circus? Well, because we got to pet the elephants. The elephants walked around outside. So I was like, oh, this is cool. Oh.

And we'd pet them and we'd leave. Did it take you until watching the greatest showman that you realized that wasn't the circus? No, I've never seen the greatest showman. You should watch the greatest showman. All right, I'll get on that today. Do you like musicals at all? Yeah. It's fantastic.

Like, I mean, I used to think, oh my gosh, a musical, I'm never going to watch this crap terrible. But I've seen a couple because of my wife and like we went and saw Hamilton. Yeah, and you loved it. Oh, it's fantastic. And then we saw the Tina Turner musical too. Okay. That was amazing. See?

And you loved that. Yeah. That didn't have Tina Turner. in it though, did it? Well, no. Well, sometimes they make guest appearances. Oh, my gosh. I would have, I'd had a heart attack. I would have had a heart attack. Okay, well, over the next holiday break at some point, watch Greatest Showman. It's on Disney Plus. Okay. I have Disney Plus. Yeah, it's on there. And it's fantastic. Good. I'll watch it. So that's your, that's your homework. So writing it down. Lunchbox is going to go watch The Greatest Showman. And right now, you guys are going to

hear us talk about our favorite boy band songs. Number six, ABC has announced they'll be doing a very special boy band Christmas. So it's going to be members of in sync, new addition, new kids on the block, boys to men, 90 degrees in O-town. It will later December 6th, and all the boy bands are going to sing Christmas songs. Here's the thing about the boy bands. It's mostly the crappy members or the mid-tier bands and below. Oh.

Justin Timberlake. Lance Bass. He ain't one of the good ones. And it Justin. What? He's not a good one. J.C. Chazet.

I would say Justin and J.C. were the good one. And by the way, I like Chris Carpatrick, but he wasn't someone that was out in front and center, you know? What about Fetone? What's the wrong with him? Again. Nothing's wrong with them.

I'm saying, though, if you're going to an in sync show And it's Fatone and Lance Bass. You're like, what is happening here? So that's from Insync. I mean, 90 degrees, I'm sure they'll all be there. I will not be with my old guys from O-Town, but they'll be there. So, listen, it'll be a fun show. I bring it up because I think it'll be fun.

But also, I have my top three boy band songs of all time. Are you guys ready? Ready. Yes. At number three, Insink, Gone. Gone. Gone. Maybe you're gone.

Coming in hot at number five, which I know lunchbox is about to give me a hard time about,

but lunchbox went out on the streets, talked to some strangers, and tried to get invited to Thanksgiving. Why would I give you a hard time about that? Because it's at number five. You always give me a hard time when you're not at number one. No, no, no. I thought me having a child was the most important thing of a week.

Yes, I'm sorry. Amy taking a shot was not more important than me having a child. That is the only one I ever complained. Correction, your wife having a child. You did not physically have the child. I physically have it. Oh. I physically hold it.

fighting words with your wife, I'm sure. Do I physically hold that child? Yes. Do I physically change that child? Did you physically have the child? No. I physically created that child. Okay.

No, I did. Cool. TMI. TMI? I mean, it's science. Yeah, you know what? I could have gone with keeping science in my mind and you're not reiterating science. Well, I mean, that's how it happens.

But anyways, I, this, I mean. I can't wait to see what's ahead of this because I thought this was hilarious. It was hilarious, which is why I made it. It's awkward. It's very awkward because you hear news stories and, you know, I mean, I want to be on the news. And so I thought, let's see.

And then you didn't even come to my Thanksgiving. I invited you to my Thanksgiving because you were staying in town. You didn't invite me to your Thanksgiving. Oh, my goodness. That did not happen. Oh, my goodness. Wait, hold on.

You did say, do you want us to come hang out with some screaming kids? I said, would you like to come over on Thanksgiving and hang out with three screaming kids and my wife and I? It was quite the invitation. And so is that an invite to my Thanksgiving? I suppose that is an invite. Thank you very much. But I think it was a little overshadowed by the three screaming kids note that you said. Yeah.

Well, I said that because I wanted to warn you that it would be loud and it wouldn't be relaxing like you're probably looking for on Thanksgiving. warn me or like invite me but like not give me to come because people do that. Oh, no, I don't care if you. I would have loved for you come. It's great. Dang. But now I'm sad. That's okay.

What did you do on Thanksgiving? Let's see. Well, it rained a lot. So, and it was cold. So we really didn't do anything. We stayed in the house and we looked at each other and we ate some food. We watched some football. We watched some football and took a nap and the in-laws are here and the sister-in-law.

So we just kind of hung out. and so you had family in town too yeah okay yeah so it was a good time yeah what'd you do wait what'd you order for food uh we ordered a turkey and some gravy and some pie and rolls from like a spot in town or something yeah my wife ordered i don't know where she got it from just so you guys didn't it cook you're not cooked well here's the thing when you have three young children there's no way you're going to be able to cook it's just it's too much it's too stressful So why do it? Even with the in-laws in town.

Yeah. I don't think you understand how hiring three kids under three years of age are. Oh, I believe you. But I was just curious. Like, if the in-laws were in town, did they like, would they want to help with cooking or like help with the kids? I mean, my mother-in-law would have like, she did some, she cooked some things. Okay. Like she had her things that she wanted to make.

And so, hey, go ahead. Have at it. Get in that kitchen, girl. What up? I'll be over on the couch watching football. Okay. Yeah. So it was a good one, though.

It was good. It was good. It was a good Thanksgiving as a family of five. You didn't do any running or anything? I was raining. Raining. You ever run a marathon on Thanksgiving? No, I've run the turkey trot. This year broke my tradition of running the turkey trot. I don't even know if Nashville has that, but I am usually in Austin or Houston and they always have one, so I always joined that one.

But if Nashville had one, I did not do it. So you typically every year will run a turkey trot. Yeah, I get up in the morning, go do the turkey truck, come home and eat. and then take a nap. How long are those turkey trots? 10K usually. So what is that? 6.2 miles.

That's not bad. No, it's not bad. It's a good way to get your Thanksgiving started. And how much do you run like daily? Because you run pretty often. That's kind of your workout, right? Yeah, five and a half or six miles. A day.

Yeah. I try to get it in every day. You plan to do any marathon soon? Nope. Never again. Never again. I ran one. That's all I needed.

Okay. Never ever. No. I mean, pay me and I'll do it. But I mean, I'm no need to been there done that you no I'll never run a marathon I know I'll do 5k's okay that's the extent of my running that's good because after that I want to die well you think I'm getting I literally feel like I'm going to die do you run the whole way though attempt for the

most part okay that's good I'm in this this part of my workout right now where he's having me run three miles good and I run probably about 2.75 which is pretty good for me because I hate running. So who makes you run that? My trainer. So he sits there and waits for you to come back? No. So this is on like the off days when I don't train with him. He gives me workouts. Got it. And one of my daily workouts, not every day, but one of them is three miles. You know, one of the most annoying things is I'll go run these races, 5K, 10K, whatever.

And I'm there to win. I'm there to compete and try to get my best time because I'm a fast runner compared to most of the population, right, that are running these things. So I always get up at the front or, you know, try to get in a little time slot like it says, oh, if you run this pace, run this pace, run this pace, run this pace, stand in this corral. Well, you get in there and you try to do it honestly. And then so the race starts and you have people that are, you know, in front of you, that they get in line too because they see the signs too. And they run 100 yards and start walking.

So the first mile, you spend dodging. stupid people that decide, oh, okay, I've run 100 yards. I'm going to walk now. And you have to zigzag and zigzag and zigzag. Why don't they just go to the back if they're just going to walk? Like, why get in front of people that are there to run? Like, why get up there at the front if you're just going to be annoying? Well, maybe they're new runners, right? So maybe they're just like, I don't know, this looks good.

I would imagine that's most people in 5Ks or 10Ks because people don't do them that often. Yeah, you may be right. but I'm telling you that, nothing drives me more insane than when I'm sprinting out of the gate and the person in front. So why don't you go in the front? Well, I try to get up there as close. You know what I mean? But when you get there, there's a lot of people.

Yes. So I'm like, all right, cool. I'll just get in here where, you know, it says you run a this minute mile. I'll run. I mean, like, how fast are you moving? Well, I can run a 5K now. I mean, in 19 minutes, 1930, something like that. Oh, yeah, you'd smell.

smoke me. You would smoke me. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I used to be even, I used to run. I mean, my fastest ever, I ran a 426 mile in high school. Okay. What in the superhuman? Yeah. So that's what I mean. Like, I, I, I'm fast. And so, that's what I mean. I get frustrated when I'm right, I'm ready to run. Yeah, I mean, you need to be like that first foot on the starting. No, now there's people that are just so fast. I mean, I mean, I mean, I just can't keep up with them. I mean, no, but you're pretty much up there. I do, I do well for, yes, and I enjoy it. It's fun, but I didn't get to do it this Thanksgiving and that's okay. There's always next year. Yeah, but you broke your tradition. I know. I always set a goal. Like, when I go to Houston and for Thanksgiving, because that's where my wife's room, I do the turkey dry. And I always try to be in the top 100 out of everybody that does it. Dang. And you always are? well so far knock on wood

I mean just getting older there's younger people coming up no that's good for you it's good for your health to keep running it is it's good for you and if you want to and I play soccer once a week

and if I'm going to keep playing soccer I can't be the old slow guy out there you got to keep your conditioning you have to be in conditioning you have to be in shape or it's over and so are you the oldest guy on your soccer team?

Oh by far like how much like 10 years no on my team we have another guy that's like 37. Okay. And then some people in their early 30s and some people, one girl on my team, I think is 20.

Oh. Yeah. You're all over the place with the ages. Yeah. But you are definitely the oldest. Definitely the oldest. Probably the oldest in the league. That's wild.

Hey, you keep kicking. You keep moving as long as you can. That's what matters. And the younger guy, they get kind of mad. They get mad because they think, oh, I'm going to beat the crap of this old man. And then I'm just there. And it's just like, they get really annoyed. So I kind of anger some people.

I mean, that's a good thing. Oh, it's good. That aspires them to be good when they get older. It gets under their skin. I love it. It gets a little chippy. You know what? And that's what I love it.

And that's what I love it. They need you to do that to them. But that's what I'm thankful for. You know, I'm just thankful for my health. I'm thankful I'm here. That's what you're thankful for. But you didn't tell me what you did for Thanksgiving. Well, I mean, I hung out with a lot of friends.

I went to some Christmas pop-up bars. This is over kind of the whole, like, holiday that I had. The actual Thanksgiving day. What are Christmas pop-up bars? Oh, Nashville, like, certain bars will turn their bar all the way over to Christmas decorations and stuff. Okay. So it's like a Christmas pop-up, but they're not like that year-round.

I know, I understand that. So they just decorated for Christmas. Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah, so some different little spots. So when you say they're a Christmas pop-up bar, I think it's a whole new bar that just opened for Christmas season. Some of them are.

Okay. Some of them do. Like in, like, little event spaces that they can rent out. Got it. Some do that. That's cool. But that's not the ones. we went to this. We went to ones because they literally transformed like there's this place that's

that does like teaky drinks and everything and they transform their entire bar from like island to Christmas and it's awesome. That's cool. Yeah. That's a lot of fun. So we did that and then on Thanksgiving National Day. What's that one called? No, I'm not saying it. Oh. I'll say it to you later. Okay. I'm telling it it's so hard to get into already. Okay. If I put it out there, then it's going to be really hard to get into there. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I didn't know it was like that. It's called Pearl Diver. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay. Yeah, I got you. It's a cool one. On actual Thanksgiving Day, though, I stopped by Amy's. I said hi over there. Oh, that's nice. Stop in, say hi, and then leave, or did you hang out for a little bit? Yeah, I mean, I wasn't there for too long.

Good. And then honestly, I went home. I cooked my favorite foods. Grill cheese. No. No, no, no. But those are my favorite foods. My favorite Thanksgiving foods.

You ready? Sweet potato. Zetas? I did. I made a sweet potato casserole. Okay. See? Rolls. I did have rolls. Okay. With cinnamon butter. Okay. Green beans? Yes. Air fried green beans. Okay.

I'm nailing it so far. Yeah, there's two other things that I made. There's two more. And I'm vegetarian, so. Well, here's the thing. I don't know what else you can make on Thanksgiving. Like, we did the sides. I drafted it. One of them. You drafted it? Mm-hmm.

That's what I'm saying. Like I, we do this side. I think it's a vegetable. Hit me. Creamed corn. I did corn pudding. Oh, okay. Isn't corn a vegetable?

I don't know. I think it is. I think it is. I wouldn't have said cream corn. I'd have just said corn. Yeah. Well, it's called corn pudding. You bake it in the oven.

It's so good. What is that? I don't have never had that. It has like, it has eggs, sour cream, cheddar cheese and jiffy corn muffin mix. Those jiffy corn muffin mix? if you just make them. Oh, yeah, they're great. See, but this has it in there, and you put it all together,

throw it in the oven, and you bake it, and it's corn pudding. So do you eat it as a dessert? No. It's a side. I'm telling you. What was the last thing? Oh, two more things. I had salad.

I made an arugula chopped salad. That was bomb. Amazing. And then the last thing, I had apple pie with vanilla ice cream. See? I made like my whole little favorite Thanksgiving meal. for me and Remy. That's a lot of work.

That's a lot of work. It was, but I was like, you know what? Listen, I've had like the, a really hard week, right?

So I was like, I need like this time to just do something that I really love and that will like make me feel good. I just realized what number one's going to be. What?

What do you think number one's going to be? I mean, you're talking about your rough week. And so I think I know what number one is because there was something about you this week. Oh yeah. No, that's not number one. Oh. No. Sorry. Like right when you said you had a rough week, I was like, ding, ding, not to take you off track of your story. I didn't mean interrupt. I do interrupt a lot. But I was like, whoa. No, no, no. That's not number one. But we did

talk about that. But no, I mean, it was like, honestly, it was awesome. We can, we'll talk about that. That'll be coming up here soon. That's what I like to hear. But I really did. Like I needed some time to myself to cook my favorite foods, eat them, hang out with my dog, and watch a bunch of TV. Like, I needed that. Good. I'm glad you got it. I'm glad you had a happy Thanksgiving. You didn't come by my house, but you went by Amy's.

I'm not hurt. It's okay. But, yeah, let's keep rolling. Do you blame me? You kind of masqueraded that with three screaming kids. No, I understood three screaming kids. No one wants to come to three screaming kids on Thanksgiving. Now, if you would have said three happy kids, I would have stopped by.

Well, they are happy, but they're just like, ah! They are your children. I'm not necessarily saying they scream in a bad mood. They're just screaming because they're kids. They're having a good time. Yes. You're right. Oh, well, I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a great day to be alive. Oh, boy. We're going to end on that note. Give it to it one more time. It's a great day to be alive.

Number five. I love a good social experiment. Lunchbox, what did you do? So I always see news stories about people getting invited to strangers Thanksgiving. So I went out around town, talked to random people and said, man, I got no plans. Think I can come to your house for Thanksgiving? see if they'll let me come. Where would you have these conversations?

Like the grocery stores. I had to get, you know, like people walking down the street really wouldn't stop and talk to me. So people working, they're forced to stand there and talk to me. I already feel awkward and I haven't heard a single clip. Like my insides have slightly turned a little. That's what it feels like when it feels awkward. It's like, ugh. But let's hear a clip.

This is clip number one. Lunchbox, you're at the grocery store? At the grocery store. All right, here we go. Getting ready for Thanksgiving, huh? Getting kind of crazy. Yeah, it's busy, busy, busy. Busy, busy.

But you're excited about Thanksgiving? I am, man. I am. You got big plans? Me and my family usually go to this church that my grandmother always went to as a kid. Oh, that's cool, man, cool. How about you, man? Man, I really ain't got nowhere to go, man.

It's just me. So, you know, I'm just, yeah. Yeah, man, so I was just hoping you would, I could come with you? I wish, I wish, man. I'm sorry about that, though. Yeah, because I'm just going to be by myself, you know, so like, you know, you and your family want an extra guess. Just say the word, man. All right.

Is that the word yes or no? I don't think so. So, man, I'm sorry about that. Oh, okay. That's really awkward. My guts kept turning. They turn more. Oh, okay.

You got one no. Here is lunchbox talking to somebody else trying to get invited to Thanksgiving. Big plans? Yeah. So I get to spend it with my kids. That's good. Good, good. That's good.

I mean, because if you got an extra seat, you know, I don't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. Yeah, because I'm going to be all by myself for Thanksgiving. Yeah? Yeah. So you've got extra piece of pie and extra turkey. Just let me know. I sure will.

Yeah. Just say the word and I'll be there. Guess that's a no. Does she just walk away? I just walked away, man. Oh, my gosh. Just turn and walked. Turn in opposite direction.

How do you feel while you're doing this? I'm laughing in my head going, these people think I'm absolutely crazy. Like, these people think I have a screw loose in my head, and they're like, this guy really wants to come to my house. And I mean, the look on their face, the awkwardness of like, how do I handle this? It's just pure joy for me.

You know, something new you brought to it was, that's good. That's good. That's good. Hey, play that second clip back, Ray, just a little bit. Big play it? Yeah. So I get to spend it with my kids. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. I mean, because if you got an extra seat, you know, I don't have anywhere to go.

Because I'm really trying to feel like, oh, I'm excited for them. That's good. And then it's like, it's sad that I don't have anywhere to go. Like, it's good. You got something to do because I have nothing to do. And it'd be good if you invited me to your plans. I saw the guy. I think it's their sixth year now. The guy who accidentally texted the wrong person about Thanksgiving. Yeah. It was, yeah, the lady accidentally texted him. And it was a grandma. It was a grandma. It was a grandma. texting her grandson like, hey, you come in for Thanksgiving. And he's like, I don't know who you are, grandma, but I'll sure be there. And they've kept up the tradition for like six years and they make it a tradition. That's weird. Yeah.

That's a good bit though, lunchbox. Nice job. Thanks. By the way, I should say, that's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Now at McDonald's get an iced coffee for $19. all day. Wait, $199? Really? All day, and for any size. Any size? What I just say? That McDonald's has any size iced coffee for $199 all day. Yes, I think I was pretty clear. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe you could use some coffee. I do have a dollar. A $0.99.

even her giving us a live performance in studio, Abby sang the national anthem at the St. Jude Rock and Roll Marathon and we got to hear how it all went down and plus even something that happened afterward that made lunchbox a little mad and we're not going to talk about it lunch. We're just going to let it happen

because we don't need to get you all riled up again, okay? You okay? I'm not going to, look, I'm ignoring it so I won't get mad. I'm looking at my phone like, oh yeah, I'm not even Karen, but I'm a little bit Karen. Okay. Caring, right? Not like you're not a little bit Karen? Well, some people would call me Karen also.

Okay. So you're both. Yeah. All right. Hear it right now. This is Abby singing the National Anthem. Number four. All right, it's a big weekend for Abby, our phone screener.

We'll get to your National Anthem in a second, but you went and ran the St. Jude Half Marathon. Mm-hmm. I did. And how'd you do? Good. I wanted to get below two hours. So that was my goal, and I did.

So I'm happy. What did you get? What's your time? It was like 155, I think. Okay. Well, come on. Let's clap for that way. Yay.

And so I saw that you had set your fundraising goal at like $3,000. Did you beat that? Yes, 3,800. Come on. That's awesome. But let's get to it here because we had spent the last couple of weeks talking about you singing the national anthem. And Lunchbox told you not to do it because he was afraid you were going to embarrass yourself.

How were you feeling as you walked up to that microphone? I was probably equally nervous for running the race, so I was just, I wasn't that nervous, actually, for singing. Were you up on a pedestal? Yeah, I was up on a stage. So I actually sang twice. I did for the 5K, and then an hour later I did for the marathon and half marathon. So the second one, you're ready to go. Right.

It was up on a stage, though, yes, by the start line. Okay, would you like to hear this, guys? Yes. Is this the full version? It is. Okay, so let's all be. present and make sure you put your hands on your hearts. I know this is the radio bit, but this is still the national anthem. Let's respect it. Let's respect Abby. We will comment

afterward. So no, no making noise over the top of it. Everybody good? Yes. Good. Okay. Here is Abby. She was told she shouldn't sing the national anthem because lunchbox said she couldn't sing good enough to do this. True or false lunchbox? Oh, 100% true. If you've heard her sing, it's not good. Okay, we've heard her sing and we think it's actually pretty good. Okay, here is Abby singing the national anthem.

A couple things I want to mention here. One, the guy's like, the Billy Joan show? What the crap is that? So let's go ahead and point that out. Two, somebody goes, yeah, girl, was that like your hype person? Oh, yeah, it was.

A friend? There were a few. No, it was the other announcer. Okay. Okay? So that's two. Three was I'm watching Abby on camera here. And as I say, hey, be sure to respect the national anthem. Abby is standing up with her hand on her heart to herself singing the national anthem, which is right, but still seemed a little weird because she's standing up to herself singing it. But Abby, let me say this. That was fantastic. It was so good. Thank you. Thank you. You nail the biggest notes. You know, again, this is not American Idol where I'm a lot. I'm a lot. on going, hey, you did this, you didn't do that. I'm just going to say that it was great.

And the hardest part that I often worry about with people, it was so pure and you nailed it. So I'm going to say solid A, but I do have to go to lunchbox now. Lunchbox, you heard her nail it. What are you saying about it? You saying a solid A is like saying she is Carrie Underwood. You can't be as good as Carrie Underwood.

I mean, you didn't embarrass yourself, but there's parts where you try to do the runs and you just can't get there. So you like, you go. And it gets kind of, you know, and it's like, ooh, it's kind of awkward. If you would just stay a little flatter and not trying to be as cool and do the runs, maybe. You didn't embarrass yourself, but I wouldn't give you an A. That's the exact same advice. I give kids an American Idol, the lunchbox said there.

Same everything. Abby, it was great. It was really great. So I'm proud of you for accepting it, for doing it. But I do want to play a clip that's going to drive lunchbox crazy because one of lunchbox's dreams in life is to just be featured on the news. to be celebrated on the news. For some reason, he has this fantasy

that he's going to go on the local news and they're going to talk about how great of a guy he is. Abby got to do this. I did. For what? Multiple times, too. I do want to play some audio from the news.

What channel is, Abby? This was Channel 5. Okay. Here in town, here's Abby on Channel 5. Going, sitting in the studio, talking with them, but here's the intro. Abby Anderson.

from the Bobby Bones Radio Show has run the race eight times, and she's about to make it her night. Wow. Welcome. Thank you. Well, I know a lot of folks will recognize you from the Bobby Bones Radio Show. You're the phone screener there. What?

No, wait. Hold on. Why is she on this, the morning? Like, why is she on the news talking about her running the race? Like, I mean, a lot of people recognize her from answering the phones? No, absolutely not. No one recognizes. recognizes her from answering the phones. And B, who cares if she's run the race eight times? That's

newsworthy? It is. She run it nine times? I didn't know that. That's really cool. Whoa. It's not a world record. I guarantee there's people that have done it more than nine times. Get out of here. Amy, say what you were going to say. I think it's impressive. I too was like, whoa, now you've done it nine times. That's crazy. Like I gasped at that lunchbox. Also, were they having you on two to talk about the national anthem or anything? Yeah. It was just Spread awareness for St. Jude as a St. Jude hero and singing the national anthem and running it all in one. I mean, it makes perfect sense. I've done the turkey trot every year.

They don't put me on the news. Goodness. You're also not raising money at the turkey trot. It's also not. It's not like she raised a million dollars. Come on. So? You're not performing at the turkey trot.

So it's not the same. Also, it's the turkey trot. Okay. Abby, great job. all the way around. And thanks for going on the news. I knew that would drive lunchbox crazy. I cannot believe the news.

That's insane. That's insane. They cover some dumb stuff then. I can't believe it. And Fox 17 did also. She got on two news. Wow. She's on the news.

I don't like that this is coming in hot at number three, but it is. It is when we talked about my whole dating update.

Hold on, hold on. It has to be coming in hot because that was hot off the press, hot off the press. Read what the doctor got. What do they say? Are you trying to go back to like 50s, 60s here? Yeah.

No, I got nothing. Ah, man. Yeah, it was an intense topic for no reason, though, either. No, no. Y'all all tried to dive in on me and I'm just sitting here telling y'all not a great relationship.

You were telling us your Thanksgiving plans and we were trying to dissect why you and your boyfriend were not hanging out on Thanksgiving. And then we were like, well, are you guys even serious? And then you dropped something on us. And we were just like, whoa, we sounded the alarm. We can talk about it. No, no, no. We called the breaking news.

Do you want me to ruin it? I don't think we talked to like breaking news because it was just more of a casual thing. What are you talking about? It was breaking news. The way you slid it in there, you tried to make it casual. You tried to act like it wasn't a big deal But it was the first time you ever told us that, hey, this has been talked about. You had never said that in this room.

And so it's like, yeah, that's breaking news. That's a bomb drop. That's alarms go off. That's, hey, alert, alert, alert, get the cameras in here. Let's go. Press conference at five. Spoiler alert. Before you get into the segment, now lunchbox, you can talk about it.

So if they can just, they can fast forward if they would like to. But I think most people have heard the segment already. They're just listening for us. Oh, oh, yeah. I am just interested. Like, where did this I love you talk take place? Was it just on the couch? Were you drinking?

Were you? Well, let me. Was it like a date night? Like, what happened? Let me break this down for you, okay? So, again, this is the first healthy relationship I have had in my entire life. Okay? Okay.

Like, genuinely the first one. So I don't know what to do with that already because I'm learning a lot of things. Yeah. Because your girlfriends felt the same way the night I met him. Meaning. They were like, man, I hope because she always dates these guys that are like, they were just, you know, as we're drinking and talking, they're like, yeah, she always dates these weirdos and it doesn't ever work out.

And like, hopefully he's nice because, dang, she gets stuck with some rotten dudes. Yes. And so they were very, you know. And that was very early on in our relationship. Very early on. Like we weren't even official yet. We weren't official official. You were just smooching.

Something like that. Yeah. So the first time, so when he officially asked me to be his girlfriend, it was similarly casual, right? This is just a guy who has a lot of walls up. And like the fact that I have broken down a lot of them is hard for him. But how does he ask you to be his girlfriend? Like, hey. Yeah, I'm telling you.

Oh, you are. Oh, good. It's, again, another kind of casual situation. So we, it was actually me and him and one of my girlfriends. We went kayaking over Memorial Day weekend. We were like the only ones in town. Got it. We went kayaking.

and just like we were having some high noons hitting just right and he literally we were pulling up on a bank because my girlfriend wanted to get a picture and so he's pulling us up on the bank her and I are both in our kayaks and he's literally pulling us up on this bank right like an embankment I don't know what they're called yeah what is shore whatever yeah and he just kind of looks at me

he's like hey you want to be my girlfriend and I was like and I kind of giggled because I was like is he serious or is he drunk right now and then I was like yeah I do. He's like, okay, cool. And then we just moved on. That was it. And Jillian, who's like my girlfriend, that was with me. So did you take a picture to commemorate the moment where he asked you to be the girlfriend? We did take a picture? Not for that reason. Yeah, that's why. We did take a picture? But my girlfriend literally looked at me. She said, did that just happen? She was freaking out more than me. But honestly, like, that's, again, because I'm in this new relationship, all of my past relationships were so up and down. everything was super great or super bad right and this one is just always good and so like everything like that even when it's a big deal or if it's not it's just very like that just happened that's it yeah very matter of fact which i love i didn't even know that that was possible so that was the casual yeah of asking me out okay so we asked you out and then how much longer down the road does he

say, I love you? I think so, okay, so the timeline, we started casually dating in February, didn't officially start dating until Memorial weekend. And then it was in late summer that he said I love you. Okay. Tell us about it. And we didn't, and I keep going. Well, so again, another casual situation. We were, I was actually like, I think I was putting up my dishes from dinner or something. And he was like, hey, can you, can you come over here? And he was sitting on the couch. And you're thinking he's about to propose. And no. I'm like, why is he?

Are we going to break out? This is cool. Shore's relationship I've ever had. And I just come and sit next to him and he's like, I love you. Don't make it a big deal. And then that was it. And I just started laughing. I was like, I love you too.

And you went back and put the dishes like. Everything's so like matter of fact. But like so much of it is that for him and for me, it's just so different. We're just not, both of us are not used to what is happening right now, if that makes sense.

No, I totally get it. I totally understand what you're saying and it's totally weird and it's totally awkward and I'm just, it's just interesting.

It's interesting that you're doing dishes and he says, hey, will you come over here? Like it wasn't like in a moment like under the stars watching the sunset or something like that.

Like he looks in your eyes. It's, hey, can you come over here and sit on the couch for a minute? All right. I love you. I don't think, anything actually happens like that besides in the movies. How did you tell your wife you loved her for the first time?

I have no idea. You don't even remember. Like, you will not remember that if you stay together for five years. Yeah, see? You don't remember. I have no idea. No. Do you remember how you asked her to be your girlfriend officially?

Yeah. How did that happen? So we were kind of dating and we were going to a concert. with another couple and we went out to dinner and the she went to the bathroom and they were like so are you guys like official yet like are you guys boyfriend girlfriend? I was like no no we haven't done that yet. They're like, oh, okay, good. And I was like, yeah, but don't bring it up. Like, okay.

She sat back down and my friend goes, hey, so why aren't you lunch as girlfriend yet? That was it. Yours is even more casual than mine. I didn't even bring it up. I know. we had dinner with brought it up. And so were you like, what did she say? She was like, I don't know.

And then you were like, hey, you want to be my girlfriend? I was like, I guess you're my girlfriend. I didn't even ask her. He was just assumed? Yeah. You're sitting here over here. I'm like casual and weird and you're like, hey, I guess you're my girlfriend. I mean, I think I think that my friend, our friend said, well, would you be?

And she was like, well, yeah. And I was like, I guess you're my girlfriend then. I don't ever want to hear you giving me a hard time. You're even more casual than mine. Well, I mean, it wasn't my doing. It was their doing. Were you going to ask her at some point? I didn't know you'd ask someone.

You just assumed? I mean, when you're just dating them, you know that they're, you're, you're, you're you have to mark the exclusivity. We ain't in middle school. Yes. It's still there. Like, you're still dating other people up until you are official. No, we weren't dating other people at that point.

So there was no need to. How long? you guys been together? Hell if I know. God, you ask these questions like, I mean, I have three kids. Do you understand that that stuff, I can,

there's no way I can remember. Okay. Well, I'm just saying, yours is more casual than I. I mean, I know that she spent the night in my hotel room the first night I met her.

I know that. Of course. Dudes, that's what you're thinking about more than anything else. She probably remembers all of these things. No chance. I bet she does.

You should ask her. You want me to call her? You want me to call her right now? I do. I do. I just like, I just am like, I'm laughing really hard because you were giving me a hard time about my casual, but yours is so much more casual.

If she remembers you asking to be your girlfriend and how long, no, she remembers that. How long you guys were dating? You going to ask her about that? I love you. Yes, and the I love you. High question for you. I'm on Morgan's podcast right now, okay? And she wants to know when the first time I said, I love you.

We're getting the details. We're waiting. it's happening right now she's laughing because I don't know if she remembers either she has no idea thank you okay wait one more one more thing does she know how long you guys were dating

before you became official and do you do you know how long we were dating before we became official oh I'm getting the details on this one she said like three months see she remembers Okay, but she doesn't remember the other part. Okay. Tell her thank you for me.

She goes, I'll think about it and then I'll remember. Okay. Tell her thank you for me. Thank you from Morgan. Bye. See, I told you she would at least remember some of that. We tend to remember like small details. No.

But that's funny. Yeah. Oh, man. That's it. But let's get into this because this is so hot. This next segment is straight fire. Please for me admit that yours was more casual than mine because it was. Well, yeah.

I mean, I didn't say mine wasn't casual. I'm just saying. At least, hey, my first time when he asked me to be his girlfriend, we were on a river and it was super like cool romantic, right? That's chill. We were in a booth at a Mexican food restaurant.

Yes. And when we said, I love you, we were on a couch just us too. And it was, you know, we had a candle going. Oh,

there you go. That's good. Yeah. We're watching a movie. No, you were doing the dishes. Well, I was putting my dishes up, but we were watching a movie. Okay.

So what in, there's a moment. Whatever, whatever. Love is love is love. I'm just glad you're in love. Just admit it. Say it. Say it. You're in love. No. You're in love. You're in love.

I am in love. But you say it was more, yours was more casual. Mine was more of a casual conversation. Woo. And I will admit I am in love. Okay. There you go. Here it is.

We both admitted something. Get into the hot takes of what happened. And I will just make. this comment right now, whatever your opinion is on this topic. Him and I have a great relationship. He's a great man. And I have no bad things to say, even though I totally got trolled on the show this week. Number three.

Morgan, how long have you been dating your boyfriend? Oh, gosh. Officially it's been about six months. And I've been told that you're not inviting him to your family Thanksgiving? No, I'm not going home for Thanksgiving. Are you going to his family Thanksgiving? No, I'm not. She sounds like she's on trial.

Where's that goal? What was that about? That's awkward. No, it's not awkward. It's just him and I have both had some really bad past relationships and we introduced him to family too soon. And so we're taking things really slow. Is that a red flag? No, not to me at all.

I mean, because we're doing what's best for us. And so that to me is like the best thing we could both be doing. Who brought up that you shouldn't go to his family's Thanksgiving? we did we like collectively like we started talking about holidays because we'd be traveling and it was just kind of a collective conversation and we were just like yeah both of us felt the same way which was really cool that doesn't normally happen i get it i love the maturity but somebody had to say it first and that's tough like you didn't both say it at the same time like one two three i don't want to go thanksgiving you know did did you go hey i think it's probably best for me not to go well i mean i brought up

that i wasn't going home so that naturally brought up a conversation and then he just kind of reiterated that he felt the same way. So I guess you can say it with me, but hold on, I'm confused. Is he going home? Yeah, but he only lives like two hours away. Okay, but so he's going home. So that's not him feeling that you're like not going home. So you don't even have the opportunity to invite him because you're not going.

Yes, but I am going home for Christmas. Right. Right. She could go to his. Right. That's why I'm clarifying because she said that when she brought it up, that naturally led to them. feeling the same way, but I'm like, well, it's different. So the conversation had to be bigger,

which is, I love that y'all are making the best decision for you. But at some point, he had to say, I'm going and I'm not inviting you. Yeah, I mean, I didn't like come out that way, I guess. I just didn't even like think about it that way because I was already in the mindset that we weren't doing that. Oh, okay. Like, I don't know. We just, he was just like, yeah, I just, you know, I've brought a girl home and it was not great. We obviously didn't work out and I don't want to do that with you. Okay. Does it make you think that like there's something at home? Double life. Double life. That's what I think. Double life. He's living in double life. But there's something at home like, no? No.

But I agree. Like, hold off. I used to go to I went, one time I went to Thanksgiving after I was with someone for like two weeks and we broke up. So it's fine. Yes, no. I mean, there is stuff at home, but it's not anything that he hasn't told me. Right. There's a lot there. Like his wife and kids aren't going to be there. No. No wife and kids. It's good. Okay. And I completely, like I appreciate it what you guys are doing. I think it's super mature, but just allow me to semi-prye that you have been together six months.

And that does seem a significant amount of time that would allow this to happen. Is there an amount of time like Christmas? Will you guys do that at all? No, for me at this point and where we both are, it'll be after a year. That will be the point for me. Man, it seems like he is true. He is doing a good job of avoiding the holidays. Like it's her idea.

So he's trying to say, oh, yeah, I don't want you to go. Because he doesn't want to. He thinks that's too serious. So he's pushing her away. Like, yeah, I can keep this chick around and I don't have to get serious around the holidays. It's perfect. Your response, Morgan. I mean, he can think what he wants where, you know, he stays with me practically all the time.

So it's not like it's not getting serious. It's just a matter of holidays. We've had some bad experiences in past relationships. And so now we're making sure to not do that again because this is a good relationship. Okay, I have pulled this story from a dating and marriage expert. Five important relationship questions before inviting anyone home for the holidays. Okay. I'm reading this.

This is a, this is, I'm just reading it right now. I haven't read the story yet. Number one, how long have you been dating? Question mark. Morgan, you say six months. Yes. Six months. They say anything less than four months, probably you should hold off.

So that's ish. She's in that window. Yeah. That's, I mean, that window has got to be really big. but it's in the window-ish. Okay. Number two, how committed are you? Morgan, answer that question for me.

How committed are you? I mean, I, gosh, that's like kind of a loaded question. I see myself with him in the future. But like, you're not dating others. Yeah, I'm not, no, we're exclusive to each other. I'm not asking for you to do your vows right now. I'm just saying, are you guys only committed to each other. Yes, we are in a mutually exclusive relationship.

They say if you're only casually dating or if you are seeing more than one person at a time don't bring anyone home. Okay, that doesn't, okay, that doesn't affect you guys. No, no, all good. Are they really serious about you? Is he serious about you, Morgan? Yeah, we are serious about each other.

We've said, I love you. Like, it's serious. I love you. Do, do, do, do, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do. What's wrong with you guys? You all are children. Okay. Bobby, do it again.

People are going to think their radios are broken. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. I'm just a little thrown right now. If you're throwing out the L word but you're not inviting them or you're not going to Thanksgiving dinner. I mean, yeah, listen, it's just, for me, it's traveling all the way back home for a week in spending time there, you know, over Christmas. You do his, though.

That's two hours. For his, it's a lot more complicated. Very complicated life at home. So for him, it brings in this whole level that he's just not quite ready for that to happen yet. Yeah. Complicated again. Like wife and kids complicated? No.

No, family. Like close family. Okay. I can see this. And I think that it, right. We don't, we, obviously, there's a lot of gaps in this story that we don't know. So we can't. Bobby, you would, I think you would understand where he's coming from.

I even appreciate what. Morgan is doing. I just think as a person who doesn't know anything about it, I just have questions and she's answering them and the jury will find her not guilty. I can tell you that right now. So I feel good about it. I'm glad she's doing it. But still, if she throws out the L word, the news buzzer do. Do you do. Listen, I will even mention that he said I love you first. Did you say it right back, Morgan? Yes, I did. But he said it first.

But right away, you just, you didn't, did it stun you? No, I mean, he's kind of this person that's very guarded. So kind of how it happened was funny. He was like, hey, I need to tell you something. I was like, okay, what? I was like, I love you, but please don't make a big deal out of it. And I was like, okay, how do you want me to respond to that? I love you too.

And he's like, yeah, that works. Okay, indeed. That's done. Well, let me, go ahead, Amy. Then I'll conclude this second. When was that? About like two months ago. Yeah.

So at the four months mark. Yeah. Wow. That is quick. Okay. Here's what I'm going to say. I can appreciate why you guys have made this extremely mature decision. I don't think he has a wife and kids.

I don't think I'm just throwing it out there because our audience is going, ooh, what's the deal? What's the situation? I enjoy your story. your love story and I hope that it lasts a long time slash forever and thank you for your time Morgan thanks for asking me questions

I do feel like I was in court today okay Amy are we good? Yeah I mean we're good I just feel like if he's listening you know he's like oh my gosh I think Morgan was extremely respectful and other than the new sounder and the screaming kid in the background I think this was a pretty mature

conversation well yeah other than now it got thrown out there that he might have to be living a double life and has a wife and kids at home, but. But Morgan promised he doesn't. He doesn't. He does not. He's a very trustworthy man, okay? Okay.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Now at McDonald's get an iced coffee for $199 all day. Wait, $199? Really? All day. And for any size? Any size? What I just say?

That McDonald's has any size iced coffee? for $1.99 all day. Yes, I think I was pretty clear. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe you could use some coffee. I do have a dollar. A 99 cents. Price and participation may vary.

You get some of those details right now. Number two. You know, something that's been happening in my life, and I can't say a whole lot about it. But I am currently doing this show from a hotel room somewhere in Central America.

I've never been to Central America before. I'm not even going to say really what country I'm in right now. But it has been an experience unlike anything I've ever had. and soon to reveal it but I tell you the hardest thing is speaking Spanish

to people because I don't know Spanish very well and I feel like when I try to speak Spanish that they think I'm kidding with them or I'm insulting them

in some way but here are the words that I have down you ready Amy? Yeah Grazie like and it's I could sit with you

and recall Spanish words but when people are talking to you in conversation you're like oh no pressure's on pressure's on and so a lot of times I just say it in the English real slow.

But Gracius, I have. Banos. Banos. Bathroom? Banos. Yeah, bathroom. Yeah. I nailed that.

I'll point and go, banos. And they'll go, yeah. I'm not great at C yet. See? Yes, because the questions are so quick. And I'm like, yes. I'm like, oh, crap, I should have said C. Like, I haven't quite got C yet.

But I, in my experience, I feel like you, if you do C, you say, it like yes, yes, like see, see, see. I know, but I just go, yeah. And then they understand what I'm saying, and then I go, see, but I've already said yes. Okay. And so luckily for us, when we went through the airport, because we were bringing all of our radio equipment, and one of the boxes that we had to bring was 100 pounds. And it looks like it could be something suspicious because there are cords and cables

and there's a timer on it and it goes, there's a lot of stuff happening in this box. Yes. And so we fly into this Central American country. Thank God, Mike D. Speak Spanish. because they pull us to the side immediately and they're like, let me see what's in those boxes. And here I am,

as goofy and as pale as could be. You know, I'm not a local to the area. And Mike D walks up and it's just speaking Spanish like it's his normal language. And all of a sudden she's like, oh, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, oh, okay, media, radio, no problem. Go ahead and take that through. Otherwise, I'd have been in a Central American prison

for doing nothing. I'd have been like, see. They'd have been like, is it a bomb? See, see! And that'd have been over. but I am in a hotel near an airport in Central America. I spend a lot of my days in the jungle and I will be here for a little bit of time for longer than I've ever been away doing a show.

So it's exciting. I'm tired because we stay in the jungle all day. I did see a monkey in a tree at one point. And I, yeah, in a tree. I was just walking in. there was a monkey above me in a tree, and I put it on my Instagram story, and I was like, that's a monkey in a tree. I could not believe it. I saw a Komodo dragon crossing the road, and I was telling my Ede about it. I was like, there's a Komodo dragon. And Mike D goes,

no, that's an iguana. I was like, that's still cool. Um, you know, I'm worried about you being in Central American jungles with all the cartels. Are you? Well, no. Okay. Is your microphone on Mike? Mike? Let, let, let, let, Mike turn his on. Mike has been kind of my tour guide, but he's never been here either. No, never been here. Should I worry about the cartel? No, not around here. Not here? Okay. Well, I don't know. I just, when I watch documentaries, they're always

in like Central America, South America, they're in the jungles, they hide deep within. You have no, you have no idea. And then there's these like intense operations like deep into the jungle, totally hidden and camouflaged. I didn't. I wasn't scared at all now, and Amy's got me freaked out. Yeah, and they

live out there. We're one of the safest Central American countries. Yeah, we're in a safe, Central American country. Although I did offer Mike, I said, hey man, I offer you some pretty good money if you drive all the way home because he'd have to drive through like Guatemala. What? No. Honduras. Nicaragua. Nicaragua.

Mexico. And he didn't want to do it. It would take him about two and a half days to make the drive. I was like, dude, this would be the greatest Instagram story follow on the show Instagram. But he did not want to do it. But we feel good. We're here. We've got friends staying at our house.

Everybody's going to ask what's happening with the dogs. we have friends staying at our house with the dogs, multiple friends, so we're all good there. And I'm just trying to come out of here live. And that's all. And so if you see my Instagram or my Instagram story and it shows me in the jungle or shows my boots, that's where I am. I'm in a jungle in Central America right now. I've never been anywhere like this before. Have you mine?

No. Oh, Mexico. Is it like this? Similar. Yeah. Similar vibes. Any questions you guys have, Amy? Well, I mean, I ask my most concerning question.

but when will we be able to know more about what you're doing? I have no idea. Okay. I think probably in the next couple of months, after the new year maybe. Okay. I mean, that's if I live. That's if I come back alive. I know.

Eddie, anything you want to know? Well, I am so fascinated that the fact that you saw a monkey, so I want to know more about them. In a tree. Eddie, in a tree. That's what I'm saying. I was just walking. And I hear, and I'm like, they said there are monkeys around here. I look at the monkeys in a tree.

tree like 12 feet above me just chilling my mind was blown we live in a land where squirrels are like everywhere and if you spend enough time you can probably feed a squirrel is there any chance you can feed a monkey while you're there I don't want to feed a monkey I'm good I got a picture they do have these rats

down here that look like squirrels and it's some like hybrid squirrel rat and it was running around and it was like is that a natural animal here and they're like yeah it looks like a rat but it acts more like a squirrel oh is it cute so no because it looks like a rat. Yeah. Lunchbox, anything you want to know. Yeah, I just want to know how the locals are treating

you. Are they real nice to you? Are they welcoming? Hey, come on in. Have some dinner. Is it kind of like they stay away from you? They're extremely nice. Everybody here is wildly kind to where I was really nervous to even be on the roads because what do I know? I don't know anything about being in this area of the world. And everyone's like, no, it's super safe. It's like an extremely safe part of a country. I don't know that the whole country is as safe. But where we are, I feel like it's pretty safe. Oh, another question. Yeah, go ahead. Do they have real roads or is it dirt roads?

They have real roads, but they're thin. And we are on dirt roads a lot because, you know, after you get off the main highway, the roads aren't that great. So I'm car sick a lot, traveling around. But that's what we have right now. I'm just letting everybody know full disclosure. If you see me watching the Bobby Bone show,

Instagram page or Facebook page, I'm not in the studio for a couple weeks. I won't be in the studio because we're doing this here. We will spend Thanksgiving in a hotel room. so which kind of stinks but I'm pretty pumped about what's happening so that's all thank you guys Amy thanks for scaring the crap out of me which I wasn't thinking about now when I'm in a jungle alone I'm just waiting for everybody to come through in their jeeps with guns my bad it's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two contrary to what lunchbox thought would be in the number one

spot this is what's in the number one spot because it's super exciting for Amy and her family daughter got baptized and Amy shared the really emotional, cool story and how it all went down. So we're really happy for it. What? Oh, lunchbox is throwing his hand on the air. Look, I know this in one we're supposed to commentate on, but her getting baptized gets number one. My son being born gets number two. It's all based on what else is happening the week.

I'm just saying, I am very happy that she got baptized. Congratulations. But boy, oh boy. I mean, wow. Listen, if that shot didn't happen that week, you would have been at number one. No, no, that's okay. I'm just, I'm very happy for Amy's daughter. It's all about the week.

My mic's off. Oh, man, okay, well, here you guys go. Sour dude over here, but here's a great emotional heartwarming story. Number one. Amy, how was your weekend? I mean, I had a great weekend, but I would say the highlight of it is for sure Stasheera getting baptized yesterday. How long have you guys been planning that? Well, she decided, I mean, we've been talking about it for several months now,

but she decided earlier in the week, like we got a call from the youth pastor. They only have baptisms every so often. And he gave us a heads up because they knew she was considering it last time. And he said, heads up, Sunday's baptism Sunday. You know, if she wants to do it, I can meet with her youth group on Wednesday night about it. So she went to youth group on Wednesday night and then decided basically Wednesday, Thursday that she was going to do it. So not a lot of notice.

I got baptized when I was 12 and I was convinced because I went to church camp and then I came back and I was like, I'm ready to get baptized. And so I was convinced as I was getting baptized and my preacher was trying to drown me because I think he held me under longer than he did other people. Oh. Because I swear to you, you know, it's weird because it got, I was a small 12 year old too. So I was pretty easy to, you know, push and pull around under that water. But he put his hand under my head. I remember it. He said, hold your nose. And I'm holding my nose. and I'm holding my nose and I go down and I start to go like twitch my shoulders because I'm convinced he's

trying to drown me in front of the hall I was down there for like six seconds which is a little too long wouldn't we agree? Yes well I mean did you need to be cleansed? Well that's what I wonder you think I needed to be extra baptized?

You were 12 come on just kidding I don't know I also think he may have forgotten about me like he's doing that and he's like looking at the service and it's like, oh, crap, I got to bring this kid up. But I remember being under there for far longer than the people.

Because I think there were like six of us that was baptized at the same time in church. But that's awesome. Congratulations to her. Tell her, I said that's amazing. I definitely will. I was telling her when I got baptized, I sang the same day I got baptized. And I was like, you sang. Yeah.

Yes, because I. You sang at church. Yeah, I sang, I need you, Lord. You're all I do. You're always there to see me through. You light my way and keep me out. the dark. It's called the Lord has a will. The Lord has a will. And I have a need. Is it a solo? Oh, yeah. Me and a guy. Oh, boy. I remember one of the other youth group girls, her dad played

guitar and I had my own song performance at my baptism. I don't know why my church allowed such things, but I did. Yeah, Stashear kind of gave me the same look because I hadn't thought about that in a while, but of course it brought back all the memories and I was like, you know, on my baptism, I sang. And she was like, oh, mom, I'm embarrassed for you. Yeah, I think we're like that too. Oh, Amy. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Thank you all so much for hanging out with me on your likely holiday weekend and, of course, hanging out with Lunchbox as well who's been chilling with me. Thanks, dude.

And the best part, you won't have to buy gas at all. The way forward is electric.
