It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. What is up, y'all? Happy weekend, Morgan here, and this is the best bits of the week. If you haven't listened before, what I do is count down the best segments from the show this week. But that's not even the best part of this, okay?

Because most of you all have already heard that. My favorite part is bringing somebody on from the show, and we just kind of have a fun conversation for an hour, maybe longer than an hour. You never know what's going to happen. on this. And this weekend I have on scuba steve with me. What's up? So I just heard that I'm the best part of your show. Is that what you just heard? That's how I formulated that. Okay. So my yes. I'm just kidding. I know. Yes. It's the best part of my show. For sure. Most of these people that are listening are listening for this content, right? This is a new content. The rest of it,

they're like, well, I've already heard that this week for the most part, right? Yeah, totally. Yeah. But we got a lot to talk about. Are you ready? Like a lot. I have a lot. I have a lot. I have a lot of questions. We just got a lot of things to discuss. It's been a fun week on the show. So yeah, I say we just get going. Let's do it. And you are a good part of this. Okay. All right, first up, you know, we heard on the show this week, Bobby and Eddie, they had this whole bet on a Rolling Stones concert. Eddie swore that Bobby went with him. Bobby was like, I've never seen the Rolling Stones. It was a whole situation, right? There was a bet. Now Eddie has to be cuddled in studio because of it, potentially. These bets go off the walls sometimes.

but I want to talk about right now, I don't know that I could never, like, in Bobby's situation, say he ended up being with Eddie at the Rolling Stones concert, right? Yeah. I don't think I could ever attend a concert and not remember it. Like, I know if I have seen an artist, right? Yeah, but I guess if you've seen so many,

you may not remember it until someone jogs your memory. Like, oh, yeah, I did see that. I can't remember every concert I've been to. Well, so then a question for you, because that kind of means that, not memorable, right? Nothing about it kind of stuck out in your mind. Well, some concerts you go to because you're invited because we work in the industry. Like when I was living in Los Angeles, we get invited to the album release parties constantly. And those are basically almost on the same

block of the IHeart office in Burbank. And that's where they film most of the album release parties for all different genres. And we would get invites probably twice a week before COVID. And so I probably been to maybe 50 of those. And I can't remember. I remember a lot of them. Like I remember or Lincoln Park. That was when you can't, you can't forget that one. That's what I'm saying. Like, there's memorable concerts for a reason. Yeah. So we're going to talk about two things. Okay. What's some concerts that like weren't memorable for you? You're like, cool, I could forget that and it'd be fine. And what's like your best memory concerts where you're like, I will never forget this. Okay. There's two spectrums. Yeah, I think I'll start with the best

because I had to kind of contemplate on the worst. But I think some of the best for me, going back to Lincoln Park, it was probably two weeks before he committed suicide. So in the moment, I didn't realize it was a big deal, but I was really excited to see him because I had never seen Lincoln Park do a set, except for I went to the Billboard Awards years before. They did one song and they were out. But this was the first time I got to see and I love Lincoln Park. I grew up on them. I have all their albums listened to in front the back. The first time Chester was right there in front of me singing all the songs that I grew up listening to as a kid, driving around my crappy ass Jeep. And like the early 2000s. Don't talk about jeeps that way. No, jeeps are great, but my Jeep was a piece of crap. Fair. Tudje. But like, just remember the, as it's like music, it connects to memories. So I just, as I hear the songs, it just reminds me of the memories of growing up and hearing these, just hearing the music.

So for me, Lincoln Park was probably my greatest show ever. And it was free and it was an album release party. And it was such a cool moment for me and my wife who was there watching it with me. And I invited one of my friends to come and he turned it down. And then Chester passed away two weeks later. And he's like, gosh, I should have went. Hey, if that's not your sign to always say yes to fun things to happen in your life, always say yes. That's that sign.

Especially when they're free. He had to spend no money out of his pocket. And we literally had to walk from our office down the block right to the studio. It would have been the easiest, best concert ever. But he said no. And that's exactly what he said after that was I should say yes to everything moving forward. I think everybody kind of has that life moment where something happens. Like I should have been there.

I could have been there. And then it's like, okay, moving forward, I'm. never saying no to this, this, and this, right? Yes, 100%. You have to, because that's how you experience more things in life. If you don't, I mean, maybe you just need to force yourself to have that happen in your life. Yeah, you don't want to be stuck at home all the time and just as a hermit crab and never experiencing things. Whether they go good or bad, even when they go bad, they're still good in a way.

Like my, one of my, I'd say my second best concert was good, but it also was bad. I went to see Jay-Z and Beyonce at AT&T Park in San Francisco, which- Epic. That alone is epic, but seeing the performance at a baseball field like that with the backdrop of San Francisco in the Bay was so amazing. And to see Jay-Z and Beyonce going back and forth because it'd be Jay-Z and then Beyonce would come out and be Jay-Z. It was that tour that happened in 2012. I don't know if it came to Nashville or this area. I saw Beyonce at Titan Stadium, but I haven't.

Jay-Z wasn't there. So it was just Bay. Gotcha. Which is incredible, though. Yeah, that alone is amazing. but when you get both, it's like, it's, I dare I say, Jesus and Mary or whatever it is, I probably shouldn't say that. No, I mean, look, hey, that's how you feel is how you feel. And it should.

Like, some people, artists in their work is very legendary to people. And those two are iconic for a lot of people, controversial for some people, but iconic for others. Very iconic. And it was free. Again, it was a work concert. I got to go for free. But that was the same week that I had, I didn't realize it, but I broke my right foot, the fifth metatarsal.

and I was at a house party the weekend before, got a little tipsy, did some battle dancing, and rolled to my foot, and I thought I just bruised it. And I walked on it for an entire week. And during that week was the Jay-Z and Beyonce concert. And I walked all the way from our station to the field, which is a good three or four mile hike. Were you not in pain? I wasn't a ton of pain, but I masked it with drinking and just my pain tolerance is extremely high. And I walked on it, walked on it, did the whole concert, walked up and down stadium stairs.

And the next morning, I was like, I think that. This is more than just a bruised foot. Fast forward, went to the doctor. She goes, yeah, you split your fifth metatarsal. How the hell were you walking on that? That would be excruciating pain for most people. And I immediately had to get rushed into surgery and get it pinned back together. I mean, this gives me an idea that I feel like we should do some pain things with you on the show.

Like, you get hit by things and we see if you feel it. You know what I mean? Nothing. Right? Yeah, totally. Yeah. Like, because that's crazy. Like walking on something that's broken is superhero capabilities right there is what that is.

Yeah, major adrenaline type scenario. I'd say those are probably the best two concerts. Give me a moment to think about the worst. What would be your best concerts? I would say at least top two or top three. Yeah, I mean, so Shania still six in my brain from when I was, gosh, six, seven years old because I touched her hand. I remember seeing her. Yes.

It was like one of those moments where you were like front row kind of thing? So we were like on the floor. We weren't front row, but she moved out to the crowd, right? Country artists are really good about moving out to the crowd for the most part. Okay. And Shania, it was my first concert. I loved her. She was in her leopard suit that everybody knows.

Oh, yeah, iconic. And she walked down and she grabbed my hand. And I will never forget that. I don't remember the concert itself, but I remember that moment and it being my first one. So definitely that is on the list, right? That's an awesome first concert. Yeah.

Epic. And then the other one that tops my list is Bruno Mars. Okay. I got a scene in Nashville, which I paid way too much money for. Because when you're in country genre, It's really hard to get pop genre like tickets, right? Unless like there's some connection and everybody wanted to go to Bruno.

So there's no open tickets to Bruno. So I've paid a ridiculous amount of money for this concert. It's so worth it. Like I have loved Bruno forever. And which is funny, I don't really listen to his music that often. Like you know when you have a favorite artist and you listen to their stuff on repeat. Yeah. I don't really do that with Bruno.

I just love him. Like as a human, as a person, everything that he encompass is. like a great, just a great human being. He's a great show. I saw the exact same tour. It was probably the same when you went to like in 2013, 14. He did a tour and it's like watching a modern day Michael Jackson. He's able to play instruments. He can dance. He can sing. Probably the best show I think I would put in my top three.

He's probably number two and number three. Like he's amazing. And you don't expect it, right? Because you're like moving that way is so unheard of, right? Having those dance moves, having that ability to connect with people while dance. while doing all of these different things on stage is legendary, right? That's a skill most people do not have, even if they're an artist. Artists are really good at standing.

Yeah. But not Bruno. Yeah. Bruno is. He's like a modern day. What did you call him? He's a savant, that's what I would call him. A savant.

What's a savant? I just heard my wife say. You're like, now I'm using words I don't know. Well, in context, I've heard or say it when somebody is amazing or can do multiple things or whatever. Well, that's not. Oh, here we go. Here we go. A person affected with a developmental disorder who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field. Okay. So this is what be him. He's a savant for music and performing, right? In a way, I think it kind of connects to a disorder though. So he's, so. Maybe he had a disorder. Maybe. We do not know. We don't

know for no. But who is the artist? Was it Michael Jackson that you said? Yeah, he's like a Michael Jackson with his dance moves and his ability to do what he can do. Yes. Like I feel like if you combined Prince and Michael Jackson, that's who Bruno is. Yes. That's a great comparison. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I was making sure you didn't say Prince. But like those two combined is like Bruno concert. Yes. So he's definitely up there. Those two are like my top. Very hard to beat concerts. Garth is always great.

Keith Urban puts on a great show. Yeah. A lot of memorable ones, but those are definitely top tier for me. Like, I have a very controversial, not memorable one though. Okay. Who would that be? Chris Stapleton. Really?

It wasn't good? No, so here's the thing. Great performer, great voice. He is as, you know, iconic and how he performs as everybody says, right? Yeah. But I am so used to concerts that are so upbeat and such a party. You're going to have a great time. Yeah.

And Chris, I was not prepared going into the concert that he was just going to kind of sit there on the stool and sing the whole time. Okay. So I was kind of like, oh, not what I was expecting. No razzle-dazzle and no fun. But, like, granted, that's who Chris Stapleton is. He doesn't do that. That's not who he is. He drums his guitar and he sings and you're amazed by his singing.

Yeah. So it's kind of controversial in saying that. Like, it's just not for me, but his music I enjoy, I like listening to. Concert, it's not for me. Yeah. So he performed live, he did well, but it wasn't like you didn't get any, like, sparks or nothing fun. Like we saw Alan Jackson.

Who was great? He's amazing. but the same kind of thing. He kind of hobbles up there and sits in a stool and performs. But he has a lot of things going on in the background. He's got visuals. And he was throwing out T-shirts. He was so cool.

It was like being at a sporting event. He was like a T-shirt can and it was pretty cool. He threw him the whole time too. Yeah, I wanted to catch one, but it didn't happen for us. Yeah, too far out for Allen. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it just was, it wasn't disappointing in his talent, but it was disappointing in the presentation, I guess you could say. I can understand that.

But I know that's controversial because he's so. legendary and he's so good. So please don't take it as I don't think he's good. It's just not for me. And you learn as you go to a lot of concerts what you're like, okay, I'm going to go spend six hours of doing this. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And you're taking time out of your day and most people are spending money on it. It's like you're almost better listening to the album in your car than going to the show. Yes, for some people. And that, you know, that's totally fine. Don't troll me online. Well, his show's been canceled twice now or postponed twice. Yeah, because his voice. And I hope that gets better. I hope that's not a actual issue happening. He's just kind of sick right now.

Yeah. And it could be his voice because they've been singing a lot more than normal doing tours and stuff. But I would say my, I just thought about it. My worst concert ever was, I think it was like 2005, 2006 in Orlando at UCF Arena. And it was a bunch of different bands. But the one that stood out for me was panic at the disco. And I think it was stand out for worse performance ever. And I and I realize this now being in the music industry, some people are great in the studio, are heavily produced and some are just and it means and they're not great on tour but some can do both or sometimes are even better live than they are recorded panic of the disco it may have been a bad night or it could have been that they were in that point where they were breaking up because i know they

had uh another guy in the band that ended up leaving the band relatively close to that time frame and so there may have been some band issues and they just weren't feeling it but it was a packed arena in orlando and panic of the disco came out and you know how brendon yury the lead singer will have these like really like monstrous high notes. Yes. And then he'll hold him for a period of time. Well, all of his high notes ended in a woo. So he'd be like, so he'd be like, da, da, dan, dan, da, instead of being like,

he'd go, da, no, woo. And you're like, and then it happened once. So it wasn't there. Yeah. So it happened once and you're like, all right, maybe he messed up or something. And the next one, he went to hit a high note that would be held for a good 10 seconds. And he'd be like, dunna, woo. And I was like, is he wooing after all of his high notes?

and it kept happening over and over and over. And I was like, F this, this is terrible. And he was the headlining act. It was the big show that everyone was, the big act everyone was there for. And it was God awful. Dang, that's a bummer because their music is. Like it's such a big part of pop culture on that kind of alternative pop rock side. And it crossed over in the top 42, especially recently.

And it could have been, I always like to get people to benefit it out. It could have been a bad day. The band was having an argument. His voice could have been shot. I don't know. but man, it was an awful live performance. You feel for them, right? Because if they ever give off a bad impression,

it's really hard for people to get them to spend their money again to go back, right? So they have to be on all the time, which has to be hard. Every night going into all these places and you just hope that you're not going to mess up in some way that makes somebody across the board because I'm sure you're not the only one that was in the audience,

like, okay, this is a little off. You know what I mean? I couldn't be the only one. Yeah, I mean, there were probably looking at me. you're like, is this what's happening? And it just kept occurring over and over of woos. And I was like, what is going on? This is awful.

And ever since then, I've never made it a point to go see them live. But the recorded albums are amazing. You listen to them in the car, on the radio, whatever. It's freaking phenomenal. They're great songs. Well, at least neither of us have a bad experience that, like, the person was not kind, right? So at least they're not bad humans. We're just having some different experiences.

Yeah, I'm trying to think of there's anyone that wasn't kind. I mean, I was at a show one time back in. Kansas when Casey yelled at people in the crowd, Casey Musgraves. Oh, yeah? Which is kind of who she is. Like she's done that before. That's not uncommon. Even online, she was really pissed about being snubbed at the Grammys for this album not being country, but her previous album wasn't country either, but won Grammys for the country category. So that's, I mean, I know that was a big issue and she was going in on on Instagram tagging all these country artists that she worked with. She's big on voicing her opinion. And she should.

Hell yeah, she should. She totally should come out there and say it. And it was at a concert I mean, a country concert is hard, right? You have a lot of people that are getting bulledrant. That's just kind of the crowd. People go, they have a little too many beers and they're getting a little wild. Some people can handle that well. Others can't. Well, there was a lot of others that can't in the crowd.

And my sister and I went together and we were sober. I mean, we were younger at the time, maybe like 18. And she went off on the people that were belligerent, like making them leave. It was a whole thing. And I was sitting there and I was like, what's happening because I didn't know what was happening. I've never seen that happen at a concert before, right? But then I was like, oh, well, it's a lot more enjoyable now because nobody's pushing

each other. There's not a fight in the crowd. So she, like, saved the crowd. Yeah. But it was an interesting thing to experience for like my first time in a concert. Oh, yeah, to see that, especially you're 18, you're young and you're completely sober. So you're just like, why? What's happening?

Yeah, maybe a little scary too if you're seeing it happen around you. When it wasn't like in a big arena, right? This was in a intimate venue. It's called the, gosh, I'm combining two words, which is what I like to do. So that's not what it's called in this moment. But it's this smaller venue in Wichita. And so it wasn't like she was at arena and yelling at like the middle crowd in front of her. Like this was, you were all a part of the same crowd, right?

Like there's maybe 500 people in there. Oh, my gosh. And so like you're seeing it all happening. It's very intimate. So it was a very interesting moment of like my concert going experience. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how I'd be able to handle that at a young age. You're like, what is happening right now?

Which, by the way, too, you totally, you know when you hide things in your memory bank that like you don't want to associate with so you forget it. Oh, yeah. It's like dissociative awareness or whatever. Uh-huh. You brought up Brandon Yuri. Yes. Yeah, lead singer.

Am I saying that right? Yeah, Brandon Yuri, Panning of the disco. I remember now. I have been catfished in my life. By a fake Brandon Yuri? Yes. So this was way back when AOLA. messaging was the thing, AIM.

Yeah, oh yeah. And this guy online had me convinced he was Brandon Urey. And I mean, gosh, when that was happening, I was in middle school, right? Like I'm on AIM. I get a message and I'm like, what is happening? Brandon Uri's messaging me and he's sending me pictures like of himself. Nothing. NSFW, thankfully.

At least again, not that I can remember. But and he's convincing me because at the time there wasn't all of the way. to check somebody. You're just assuming everybody's normal. That was the first part of the internet we were exploring, right? Oh, yeah. And I don't know how it even broke down because I have hid in this away because I was so like, I think I was really hurt when it happened when he like finally like revealed that it

wasn't him. It was like a breakup for you. Yeah. Well, I was a gosh, how old are you in middle school? Like 10, 12? Yeah, 10, 11, 12, at the most 13. Yeah. Imagine a young girl who's like who for me at the time, Brandon, you're.

was this epic person because I was in my alternative phase, right? Like, that's all I was listening to. And so he was, like, messaging me all the time. We'd have great conversation. I'm like, who is this? And then finally one day it, like, revealed. And yeah, I think I cried for a few days. Was it like a 40-year-old guy from Minnesota? Yeah, he was like, oh, and I still don't know how it ended up breaking down, but he was like, oh, like, you know, that's not actually me. Like, you know, we're getting really close and I would love to meet it. And it finally like came out. Okay. Right? He wasn't like 40, but I think he was like in his 20s.

Okay. And I'm like, and I was never dishonest. I was like, I'm in middle school. And I'm like, it's really cool. I'm your fan. You know what I mean? But I'm like, he's giving me attention. Totally.

So it was a weird. Wow. Like you just brought up that story about him and that just like came out of nowhere that I had totally like shut away somewhere. As it was happening were you, because I imagine it's happened for weeks or a month or so. Oh, yeah. I mean, because it's all on AIM. Right. There's no face time.

There's no way to verify anything. All text. Did you go to school being like telling your friends, hey, I'm talking to Brandon Uri? I think I maybe told one girlfriend, but I was like kind of into like it was a time when like you're not supposed to be talking to strangers, right? Yeah, no, no, yeah, stranger all the way. Yeah, and I was young. So no, I kept it to myself because I didn't want to get kicked off AIM. Wow.

Oh, yeah, that's a bad memory. Not a good one. Oh, yeah, I am was the it was just like it was good and bad. It was fun because it was a new avenue to communicate, but it was also scary in that sense where you never knew who you were talking to. Unless it was your friend, you knew for sure, okay, I'm talking to this person. But people could intercept in there all the time. You get, you know, if no one remembers this or weren't a part of that era, you'd just get messages popping up and you'd accept it. And it could be anybody or you're in chat rooms and people would then like hit you up and you'd be like 14 slash M slash Florida slash pick.

Yeah. And you're like, what? Huh? 14 male Florida pick. Oh, man. Were you ever catfish? Um, I think I was. Yeah, I think I was.

But this was a dark one. so I don't know if it's free. It's Steve. We stay on a level playing field. You can get a little dark, but not super dark. I'll take it. I'll tiptoe to the part where it gets really dark. So I was in my dad's house and my mom did not allow.

This was when my parents were going through a divorce. And my dad lived in Melbourne, which is about an hour from Orlando. We'd spend, I think, once a month at his house. And when we went to his house, there was no rules. My mom's house, like everything was in lockdown. So we're at dad's house. We have to do whatever we want. So at 11, 12, you know, you're doing.

whatever you want. And so I would go down to his office and get on his computer and get on his instant messenger and chat rooms and it was past the time. And sometimes it was just like trolling people or talking to your friends or just looking up things because you can online. And then every once in a while you would chat with people. And then I remember this one girl was chatting with me for a minute and it was like, you know, like not attachment or anything, but you talk to them. It's just conversation. And it's a it's a whole new world that you're not experienced. Yeah. Before you talk to somebody, it'd either be in person. or you had their phone number and you would call them.

That was it. Or you wrote them a letter. But even then, no one really wrote letters. So this was a fun way to communicate to somebody. And I'm 11, 12, and I'm curious. Yeah. And you're newly learning your emotions, right? Exactly.

Yes. And you're learning your emotions in the sense of your attraction towards other people. Yeah. They're growing up in a way. Yeah. Totally. Yeah. So I remember talking to this girl for a while and it'd only be like every two weeks or so

because that's only when I would be able to go online to talk to her. Or so I thought it was her on instant messenger. Are you about to tell me this old man chilling in his mom's basement? That's probably what it was, but it never got to that point because I would talk to her. And then it got to the point where it started getting weird. And she was saying she'd save herself for me. Oh. And then she was sending me like naked pictures of her.

Oh, so yours did get NSFW. So my guy NSW real quick. But at 1112, I was like, hell yeah. Be honest right now. Did you ever send anything back? I never sent anything back. No. I was the one thing that I was very

I was smart about was never sending photos of myself Clothed or not clothed And plus I didn't have a way to do it anyways So I don't know if I would have done it if I had if I had an option But it wasn't like you could pull your phone up and take a picture and send it really quick Yeah To send a photo online you had to do some work Yeah

You had to have a way to take it one and then if you took it Working for you Oh working for me or you thought or guy And then that was getting like naked pictures of her constantly And pictures of naked pictures of her and her friend And then she was like talking about how her how she wants to marry me and all this stuff. And then I got the point where I started getting creepy and I was getting creeped out.

So then I would not want to talk to her anymore. And then because I'm 12. I'm like, you're like what is happening? Yeah. I don't want to have sex. I'm scared. Like I'm 11, 12.

I barely wanted to hold my girlfriend's hand in middle school, let alone have sex with somebody. Yeah. So like it was just getting weird and creepy and scary. And then I started to back away and then and then that person, whoever it was would, you know, reach out to me and then reach out to me and then go away. And then I just never got an ending to it. It just ended there.

So if you're listening right now, it is likely a very good thing that this is in did. So I have some theories that I won't get into them because they're kind of dark. But it was just like, it was weird. It was fun, but it was weird. And I just backed away real quick. Dang. So I'm really glad we had similar experiences because we both only got catfish when we were younger.

Oh, for sure, I got catfish. When we were exploring the internet as young children. But yours was cooler. Brendan Uri? Like, that's awesome. Okay, but even more reason why I shouldn't have believed him. Right? Totally. Yeah. Now we look at it back in hindsight. You're like, ugh. I should never believe that. Ren and Yuri would reach out to me randomly.

Yeah. Like, I see it all the time on social media now. Like, I'm an idiot. I literally forecasted my own future to prove to myself that that wasn't physically possible. But we didn't know what catfishing was then. I think we didn't really know what it was until MTV catfish came out with Neve and Max. But that wasn't until like the 2000s. Well, again, after the internet kind of really showed us what could happen. It took us learning the internet to figure out, okay, this is what people can do. Because when something's new, you don't want to think it's bad right away. You have no idea. You just, yeah, it's a whole new world. It really is. So crazy to think about.

We could be here all day getting into some conspiracy feelings. I feel us going down that trail. Oh, yeah. But I'm going to stop us because we have more to talk about. So right now you guys can hear Bobby and Eddie make their bet on the Rolling Stones concert and just kind of how it all went down. So here you go. Number seven.

Eddie and I are arguing about me going to a Rolling Stones concert in 2015. He says I went to one. I say I've never been to a week. 100% you were there with me. I'll never forget it. This is the big argument right now. Okay, here's Eddie posting a picture with the Rolling Stones. At the Rolling Stone. Oh. Is it you? Come on. It's over. It's over. The debates over. Are you? Were you rolling? Who is he this? Come on. Come on. You were there both. Okay, so Eddie and I have bet a few things here. We have bet he has to cook. Whoever loses has to cook dinner. Whoever loses has to cook dinner for the other person. And then they have to be cuddled on the ground for 15 minutes. Can we just do dinner? No, no, no. We agreed.

all this. You can hear it at the post show because we've recorded a whole thing about it. Eddie, you ready? Yeah. You posted on June 17th, 2015. It's a picture of Nissan Stadium and you are in the left side of it. Right? Remember back left? Yeah, I guess. You said, at the Rolling Stones with my boy at Justin the Suit. Oh. No way. He went with Justin the Suit. No way. Wasn't you? Are you sure you weren't there? I'm positive. I've never been to a show. Wow. It's you and our old head of syndication, Justin's the suit. I was starting to get worried that Bobby wasn't remembering that, but Eddie. Wow.

Wow. And then you have videos of you watching wild horses and Justin the suits were there with you. Wow, you weren't there. You owe us dinner and cuddle on the floor. What do you want for dinner? I don't know. I got to think about it. Okay.

You got to cook it at our house. Oh, I have to cook it there? Yeah. Oh, I thought he could just cook it and bring it to you. Nope, that's not what the bad was. I don't know that that part was clear. It's a beautiful day. Let's go.

Good job, Mike D. And we encourage you guys to check out the post show because you'll hear a whole conversation about this before we came on the air. Good? Yeah, I guess. Do you now admit, though, that you lost the bet? Yeah, I admit now that you weren't there.

Thank you. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. We're combining two right here because everybody has been loving having the drafts back. And this week we did two drafts. We did the draft of superheroes and we did the draft of cartoons.

Look, controversy on both, right? Everybody has a lot to say about superheroes. You got the comic book people and you got movie people. It's a whole thing. And then the cartoons is an animated movie considered a cartoon in this category? I don't know. It was a whole discussion, but we drafted two things this week. And you guys have been wanting to have them back.

So I'm playing both of those right now. So you guys can enjoy them for hopefully a first or maybe a second time. Number six. It's time for another. Bobby Bone Show draft. We're drafting our favorite superheroes today. I get the first overall pick.

I'm going Batman. You have to. Strong. You have to. So my pick number one is going to be Batman as the greatest superhero. And I don't think, I think 15 years ago, I would have said it in Superman.

Oh yeah? But Batman has become the biggest singular hero because of all the movies. But Superman's strong. But Batman is my number one pick. Amy? I just have to go with my favorite here, and it's Iron Man. Okay.

It's good. He's the first rounder for sure. Thank you for your affirmation. No problem. Eddie? I'm going to go against your theory, and I will go with Superman, because he is the man. Yeah, he is the man.

I mean, he's the man, for sure. Morgan? He's so big that he has three different movie series. It's Spider-Man. Good one. Spider-Man's good. Ray? Chick vote.

Give me Wonder Woman. If you yell chick vote, I don't know you're getting chick vote. I think you just have to... I don't think you yell pandering, and then pander. I think you just... But okay. Wonder Woman.

They're double. He's also Batman. I'm going to go, what did you say? He's also Batman. Yeah, true. I'm going to go with, oh, man, this is, like, I feel like now I'm in the different tier completely. You guys took all the good ones.

Are there any marvels left? Yes. I can say that, yes. Captain America, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther. Oh, we took that? I don't know there's Hawkeye, but he's stupid. Bow and Arrow? Who cares? I'd rather have Robin Hood.

Jeremy Renner, is it? Well, I'm not insulting the actor. No, I know, I know, but he plays him. I'm going to go with Wolverine. Wow. Forgot about him. Oh, crap. I don't have anybody else.

I'm going Wolverine. All right, that's second round. Now we're at third round. But now they're all like assistance. Like there's Captain Marvel? But I don't know that she would be. picked. There's Wanda. Wanda vision? Yeah.

Who knows? He has it. He yelled out, Women rock. And then he picked out Wonder Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman and Hulk. Oh, okay. You're up. I mean, my kids, like, loved this when they first got to America. We watched it all the time. It taught them a lot of English.

So I'm going to go with Flash. Oh, I didn't even write that one down. Flash, forgot about you too. Flash is awesome. I mean, if you... You have a good first and second round, so I'd feel pretty good about that. My second round... I mean, what are we supposed to do for the third?

I mean, it's... I know. Ninja turtles. They're on my list. Are they? I have them on mine, but I... Oh, they're superheroes? Yeah.

They are? They're turtles that fight. Superhero Eddie, your last pick? Man, I mean, she is one bad chick, so give me Captain Marvel. I love those movies. I think she is awesome. That's chick vote. Morgan.

I'm between two, Black Widow. Yeah, she's cool, too. And Scarlet Witch, which is Wanda. That's her name, Scarlet Witch? Mm-hmm. Oh. And they're both super popular right now. They both just had big things come out.

I love Black Widow, though. Give me Black Widow. Okay. Ramundo, final pick, and please yell out the person you're catering to. Has anybody done Aquaman? No. Interesting. I'm going between that one and then also Catwoman.

I just don't know what really, I don't really remember Catwoman doing a lot. But it is for the chick vote. What's Aquaman for? What did you do? Hurricanes, I don't know. Fishermen. Or fish? Yeah, fishermen. Oceanologist.

Marine biologists I like Catwoman I'm going to do her Interesting choice Have words Weird way to say that Odd collection of language Okay

We have our teams I have Batman, Wolverine and Deadpool Amy has Iron Man Black Panther and Flash Solid Solid Why did you not yell solid to her mind See how it feels

That's normally me. That's normally what happens. Y'all are all like, ooh, good, good one. And then I speak and y'all just like, okay, next. I just kind of listen back and I'm like, who would I vote for? Eddie has Superman, Captain America, and Captain Marvel. Solid. Don't yell solid at your own game.

Morgan has Spider-Man, Thor and Black Widow. Feel strong. Yeah, that's pretty strong. And Ramundo has Wonder Woman Hulk and Catwoman. Deal! I'm going to tell you who's not going to win. Well, you never know. It surprises us.

Go vote at bobbybones.com. We'll put the pole up there. It'll only be up there for a little bit. Vote on the team that you think should win. Well, there you have it. There's our superhero. I thought there would be more good ones. Because you always look forward to having the first pick.

And usually there's something good on the second round. I had leftovers. I basically have meatloaf from Tuesday night. Oh, meatloaf. Why didn't draft him? He's a singer. I would do it. Oh, we're going to draft our favorite cartoons.

So the first show you think of, Amy, when I say, what's the best cartoon is what? with the longest running, the Simpsons. It's strong. It's a tough one. There are so many good cartoons. Lots of them. Yeah.

So Amy drafts the Simpsons as the first overall pick. Eddie? Rocky? Give me Scooby Scooby-Doo. Come on. Morgan? I watched it all the time growing up,

so SpongeBob Squarepants. That was going to be the one I took. Under the scene. That's Little Mermaid. That's a little mermaid. Oh, what does he say? What does Friend Pompuy? I'm in the pineapple under the seat.

That's what I just said. No, you didn't. I just said under the Cid, the Pernacle, under the seat. Cartoons. And they can be any cartoon, right? This is your show. Tell us. That's true, Bones.

You can do what you want. I mean, the list is just cartoons. Okay. Oh, Ray's up. Go ahead, Ray. I'm going to go with Family Guy. It's up to me now. I'm going to go with the Lion King.

Oh, wow. Is that a TV show? No. It was a cartoon movie? Cartoon. Oh. Well, let's just open a world of things. I thought it had to be a TV show.

I never said cartoons. Well, okay then. Okay. Secondly, I'm going to go Shrek. Okay. We all entered this as TV shows. You do see that when it gets around to you, you're getting like the good movies.

That's because you guys didn't pick them. We can also go good movies too, Amy. There's a lot left. Okay, bring it back around. Wait, but what did I do wrong here? Nothing. That's your choice. Well, she's jumping all over me.

I'm not. I'm questioning. Let me tell you something, though, Bones. The voter's going to be like, e, is that a real cartoon or is that an animated movie? So that's on you, bud. But it's a cartoon. I get it. Great.

Ray? This is wide open right now. Garfield? Interesting. You may have just lost it right there, Ray. I went with my favorite cartoon back as a kid, and I went with my favorite cartoon as an adult, so I don't know what else to do.

Morgan? Rugrats. But I got laughed at. Well, the last draft, you did one, you yelled, this is for the chick, and you got like no votes. True. Eddie?

Give me the classic. I mean, this reminds me of every Saturday morning in my life. Looney Tunes. Amy? So torn with what to do right now. Toy Story? There you go. I like how you jump on me,

then you get on the train, too. I like it, Amy. Why not? Eddie, nobody's going to be judging our things being like, I don't know if this is an animated movie or a cartoon. Have you ever jumped on Facebook? I don't. I don't know a lot. No, I don't.

Okay, last round. Amy, you're up. The Flintstones. Good one. Eddie. Yeah, I wanted that one. Bones, I'm between two really good ones. Should I go traditional cartoon or movie cartoon like you've done? Just go.

I'm going to add the movie. Give me Frozen, the biggest movie cartoon out there. Morgan? I'm sticking with all of the animated cartoons I watched younger, and I'm going fairly odd parents. Ray? King of the Hill. I think my final pick is going to be, because I'm the last one, here's what I'm weighing. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Yes Good one Beavis and Butthead Good one Neh Rick and Morty I love Yeah you love that

Looney tunes I already got it That was my second But I'm gonna steal it You could do like Bugs Bunny I'm gonna go Teenage Muton Ninja Turtles Okay

All our team's drafted Yeah You don't feel so good about it Not really I mean it's because I had Charlie Brown kind of is a backup. But man, that whole movie thing threw me off. But you're right. That's a cartoon too, so who cares?

Amy has The Simpsons, Toy Story, and Flintstones. Eddie has Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, and Frozen. Let it go. Morgan has SpongeBob, Rugrats, and Fairly Odd Parents. Feel good about it. Ramundo has Family Guy, Garfield, and King of the Hill. Decent. Not going to be last place, but not first.

And then I have the Lion King, Shrek, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. The caller called into the show. And because it's Halloween month, spooky season, all the things, she wanted to know our worst fears. Now, peers are super interesting to me because there are some people out there that don't have any, right? Some people are not fearful at all. I wish I could be that person, right?

Yeah. I'm fearful of a lot of things. I am very much a fearful person. You guys learned on the show that I am afraid of spiders and I'm afraid of needles. And I have hysterical laughter whenever needles come at me in any sort of way. And I start grabbing my neck. I have a neck phobia as well. A lot of strange things, right?

So you're afraid of your own self. Yes, I'm just afraid of everything. Yeah. And I want to hear about your fears to make sure you have your fears ready. But the other side of this too is that people have told me with fears that it is likely, you know, if you believe in reincarnation or whatever, that the person who was you or your body before, something likely happened with one of your current fears to them to die.

Yes, yeah. So like because I'm afraid of people grabbing my neck or getting choked, like I have a neck phobia, that likely the person who was in this body or whatever before was strangled. Yeah. And that like blows my mind as well, right? Yeah. So you have this, you have like a, it's like in your DNA,

in a sense to be afraid of these things so that way you don't die from that in this current state. Yes. Because you did it because you died from in a previous state. Or is it predicting what you will die from. Or that, which is even darker. I know. We're not going to get too dark. But I'm just saying like fears are so interesting to me.

So what are your fears? So for me, I'm afraid. I don't like needles like you, but I think on another similar level of needles is knives. Like I'm very fearful of knives. Like I feel like if you were to die from any way possible, I think, a stabbing death will be the worst because it's not it's because i feel like it's a slow bleed out like you can get stabbed but you're still there and you feel the pain and you can either survive it or if it's multiple stabs like i just i feel like the whole knife thing is very scary there was a tv

show and i wish i could remember the name of it it had kevin bacon um and it came out it was on fox with kevin bacon and he had to follow he had he was like brought into the following was it the following yeah the following yes yeah the following kevin bacon i just i just i i I googled the three keywords you gave me. Knives, Bacon, Fox. Yes. It was back when they were first starting to put Hollywood actors, like, who did movies primarily into doing television shows, which is kind of where we're at now.

And I remember watching, but this is such a great show, but there was this point in the show where basically there's this criminal who has these followers, almost like a cult, and he doesn't have to do anything. He just has them do all the work for them. And there's this one scene where they're on like an, like a subway, and they just start slice and dicing and stabbing people. I just remember watching it being like, oh my God. Never had fear of knives until

seeing that particular scene. So that caused your fear of knives. Yes, because then that was because I lived in San Francisco at the time, which was a city where you would take subways and buses and public transportation and I was just fearful of being on a subway and then not being able to defend myself from all these knives. That probably

would never come my way, but I was afraid of it. Yeah, this is why when people are like, you should watch scary movies. There's a reason I don't, right? I don't want to give myself more fears. and you just confirmed that you got a fear from watching something on TV. It's stuck with me for the last 10 years. Are you afraid when somebody's using knives around you, like for cooking or anything? Yeah, mostly because I have kids now.

So I'm always afraid. I tell my wife, I know she's very careful, but she'll be cutting things up and then she gets distracted and goes somewhere else and leaves the knife, like right at the edge of the counter. I'm like, no. Like our kid could come right up there and grab it. Like I had a friend of mine, John, when we were living in L.A., his son was a similar age of my kid now three and we were like he was chopping something up and it was a house party like not a crazy house party but like a bunch of adults with kids and they were preparing something and then they left the knife at the edge of the counter and then i remember just like maybe a minute later we're sitting there hanging out and talking and his son's like holding a knife like in the air walking around with it and i'm just like knife Knife.

The kid has a knife. And he doesn't know what he's doing. He's just holding something that's an object he's never held before. And then it was like, so how do you approach the kid with the knife? Like, how do you get it from him? And do you come from the side or from the back or obviously not from the front? And I just remember that fear of like him holding a knife. And so fast forward to me now with my wife, I'm like, just be mindful of the knives.

Please don't put him at the edge of the kind of like slide him back towards the end or put him somewhere else where he can't touch him. I forget where we got in the tangent of knives. So basically you're saying you would not like your. your own kid to stab you. Oh, yes, yes. Pretty much. This is really the wrap up here, right? What it comes to, yeah, yeah. I sure hope not. And I think, too, like, that leads into another fear, right?

Like, I think everybody has a fear of freak accidents. Like, nobody wants that to happen in their lives to them or anyone they love. Like, that's a very natural fear. Oh, yeah. These are, like, our fears that are a little, what's the word I'm looking for? Over exaggerated in ways because of experiences. So yours is with. knives from a TV show.

Like mine with needles is from, I got, I had gotten bit by a brown recluse spider. Oh my gosh. When I was younger. I fainted. And then I went in and they had to draw all this blood because they had to figure out what was happening. And that instilled me to be afraid of needles because I had such a bad experience. They were trying to find veins and I was sick.

It was a whole thing. They're constantly poking you and stabbing you and then not a pleasant experience. So now you're afraid of needles because of that. Totally makes sense. So like, and I think that's what happens with most people's fears is it comes from something that happened, something they've seen, something they've experienced, or just like pop culture, right? On TV and movies.

And you're like, I don't want that to ever happen to me. Exactly. Which was the case for you. Like, if something happens in a scene where somebody gets like their throat cut, I literally like, I'm out. I tap out. I can't do it. Even going to the needles like Saw.

Have you ever seen the Saw franchise? Steve, there's a reason I do not watch horror movies. Because there's a scene in there. I think it's one of the first, I think it's the first one of the second one where this girl who's a heroin addict gets thrown into like a big bin full of syringes and needles and has to crawl her way out of it and I'm just like oh or even if I watch like those shows in A&E where it's about drug addicts and they talk about their their drug addiction and it's about shooting up and they use needles I'm just always like oh god it just it just projects that on me are you are you

are you afraid of needles I hate needles yeah which is another reason why I didn't I would never have done well in the firefighting EMT world yeah it's just I'm not big on needles I can do it but I'm just not I I'd prefer not to. Even you like discussing this. I'm grabbing my neck right now, which is something I do when the needles come near me. But you're also afraid of people grabbing in strangling your neck, which is also interesting. Well, it's like a vulnerable thing. So when the needle happens, I immediately reach my neck because I'm like, don't touch me in this area.

And then they start to do it. And then I start laughing. It's a literal whole procedure when I go in to get needles. Like blood draw on something. I've kicked nurses before on accident. Oh, my gosh. Like because I'm giggling and I like can't control my. It's like an uncontrible.

trollable laughter that turns into tears because of laughter. Yeah. And then I start grabbing my neck and that you would think I am not sober. Yeah. When this is happening. Like a medical, like an insane patient. Yes. Yeah, like the Joker, I think Eddie commented on the show.

It is. It really is. And it makes me feel weird. Have you tried the like the two things that worked for me when I was a kid was like squeezing a teddy bear, squeezing an object? And then as an adult now it's like, I know it's on my right arm. So I'll completely look to the left and start to. thinking about something else just so I don't have to, or I'll carry on a conversation and talk

with them until it's done. And they go, is it done? They go, yeah, it's done. And then I'm okay. Well, yes, but that exposes my neck. Okay. You're afraid someone's going to give me a shot and come in and slice your neck. Yes.

I'm like looking away and holding my neck. It's like, it's a whole thing. Wow. Right? Like. Yeah, that's a lot. Mm-hmm. So you combine the two and I am just all sorts of not a whack.

Yeah. Oh, man. But it makes me feel good. I'm not the only one that has been caused this by a lot of random things. So we're in this together in a lot of ways. I'm sure anyone listening right now has their very similar fears for very similar reasons. Yes, and keep the knives away from the children. Yes, please.

Oh, man. Okay, y'all, well, you guys can hear us talking about our worst fears on the air, Bobby, Amy, Eddie. We all shared what was happening with us and where they come from. So, yeah, listen to that right now. Number five. The voicemail we got last night from Larissa. I've been listening to you guys for like a couple of years, and I'm a little bit younger and I know it's Halloween season

so I was wondering like what are y'all's greatest fears? Because I ask my friends that all the time, especially around this season and I was wondering like it'll be cool to know like what y'all are scared of. Scared, not like rejection. Oh, people not liking me. Yeah, stuff like that. Like Halloween fears. Like what are you scared, scared of?

That's the first thing. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to go heights. Definitely afraid of heights and needles. Those are the two for me. You? Heights and spiders. You? Intruders. Somebody in my house and I don't I don't know they're there. Have you had anything?

Because I am too, and I still struggle with a little bit of PTSD from having my house broken into and, you know, being jumped, stuff like that. Yeah. But you haven't had anything like that. I kind of don't want to answer that because I don't want to be like. You know what jinx it? Yeah. That's fair. But no.

Morgan? Needles and spiders. We've got three needles here. Interesting. Nobody loves needles. You scared of needles at all? No, I don't care about needles. Yeah, they don't.

I just can't look. I don't eat blood and I stare at it. It's kind of cool. Oh, I get hysterical laughter. It's a big thing. When you get a needle? Instead of hysterically crying, I hysterically laugh out of like nervous. It's like the Joker.

It's a whole thing. What I do with them, I say, hey, I know you're going to go one, two, three and put it in, but don't do it on three. Like do it on two. But what that really means is do it on one. Because then if I know it's on two, it's the same thing as me knowing it's on three. You're so complicated. I know. It's wrong with you.

But if I know it's coming on like, I jerk away from it, then it goes into a different part of my body. It's a whole situation with needles. Thank you for that voicemail. You can leave us a voicemail at any time. 877-77 Bobby. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Raymundo shared on the show this week that he was rejected for a selfie with a famous actress. Now, I'll let him get into all that in the segment that's about to start playing.

But Scuba, have you ever been rejected for a photo with a celebrity? No, and for me, it's mostly because I don't like taking pictures in general. And I definitely don't like to bother celebrities or musicians for photos. Just because I perspective, not saying that I'm bothered for photos, I don't have, like, I don't have, like, like, experience personally. But just I know, like, like, who wants to stop when you're in the middle of going somewhere, doing something in your daily life, whether it be walking to the store or whatever, who wants to be walking somewhere and then stopped and bothered to stop and take a picture?

I feel like that's such an annoying thing to do. So I just, out of respect for humans, I just have never wanted to stop someone for a picture. and even if they come out in real life. I've never wanted to be like, hey, you know, Adam Sandler, I know you're with your family and you're doing things and you're not, you don't want to be bothered, but let me bother you for the next 30 seconds and take a picture and tell you how much I love your stuff, which you've heard probably a million times. I'd rather just see them and it almost like going to a zoo. I'd rather almost just like watch them in the wild and just kind of like not creepily follow them. You like to people watch celebrities. I'd rather people watch them

and see them in their habitat or if they come by me. I'd, you know, just hey, how's it going? Like I had an experience with when we were in Maui for my brother-in-law's wedding. We were at this like little mall and it was near like one of the nicer hotels, I think four seasons or whatever. And we went to this mall to kind of kill some time. And we're at the store and my son was like not even a year old yet. And we went to like a boutique type shop. And my wife was looking around with her sister. And I was at the front of the store because my son was like antsy and bored.

So I was sitting there playing with him hanging out. And this guy walks up from behind me and he was like, oh, God, aren't our kids just the best? And I haven't seen his face yet. And I'm just talking. I was like, yeah, man, it's my first son. You know, I'm really excited. That's such a cool journey. And I turn around and look at him.

And I'm like, oh, God. Oh, my God. Who was it? And I'm just, like, and I'm just like, you had that, you know that feeling in your chest where, like, it feels like you're constantly dropping on a roller coaster and you can't catch your breath? Hate it. Yeah. And you're trying to breathe and you're trying to, like, grasp.

And you're trying to, like, just trying to, just trying to maintain composure. And I'm just like, and then before I had no idea talking to the, I had no problem talking to the guy. And then I realized who it is. And I'm freaking out, freaking out. I'm like, yeah, man, yeah. It's my first kid. It's just, yeah.

Wait, who was it? And he starts talking and he's like, and he's like, oh, man, yeah, he's like, I got like three kids and I got grandkids. And he goes, man, it's just, you know, it's a beautiful thing. And I get the same advice I get from everybody. Was it Tom Hanks? No, it wasn't. It wasn't Tom Hanks, but it's up that, of that ass.

Are you not going to tell me? I'm going to tell you, of course, but I just wanted to, like, you know. You're dragging me on. Like, I'm sitting here on the edge of my seat. Like, and then he's giving me advice about kids and everything and we're talking, whatever, da, da, da, da. And then I was like, all right, man, well, you know, appreciate the advice. Appreciate the advice. Appreciate everything. Yeah, man. He goes, all right. Well, you know, bye. I kind of just said her quick pleasantries and goodbyes and goodbyes. And then I walk up to my wife. And I was like, do you know what that is right there? She goes, no. And I go, you know, cat scratch fever. It's one of his songs. She goes, yeah, I think so Alice Cooper, the, the, like, legendary rock singer. Yeah. And at the time, he had done many things. So he not only was he, uh, a lead singer in his band, but he also was doing like television things and all that kind of stuff. Like, oh my gosh, Alice Cooper. And then I didn't never, I never said like, hey Alice or hey Alice Cooper or can I take a photo or anything. I just, I just enjoyed the moment of having my special moment

with Alice Cooper giving me parenting advice and hanging out with him. We talked for like a good five minutes. And then my nod to him because his real name is Vince. And my cousin's name is Vince. So my nod to him was as we're still in the store and he's still shopping with his wife. I was like, hey, I was like, hey, to my wife. I was like, hey, are we, um, Are we still gonna be am I still playing golf with Vince later today? And then he kind of like looked up and it looked at me and then went back to his wife and She was oh no no we're not playing golf with Vince today. I was all right cool and then we kind of then we left the store and so it's my nod of being like I know who you are but I ain't gonna bother you It was kind of it was like you like no know who he was too because I would have never known his name is Vince

I quickly looked it up in my phone I didn't know I didn't realize his name was Vince but first I had to look it up to show my wife like this is who it is just oh yeah yeah yeah so did he I'm looking at a picture of him right now because I wouldn't have known. I'm not a huge like rock genre person. Yeah. Did he have no makeup on? Because he tends to wear makeup, right?

Normally he wears like eyeliner and he's like like lines on his face. This was just stripped down Alice Cooper with like long stringy black hair and no makeup whatsoever. It was like seeing my mom at like three in the morning with no makeup. You're like, I know you are, but I can't place it. Totally. And almost when I looked online I had to confirm like I think it's Alice Cooper, but I'm not sure. So when I looked it up, I was like, oh yeah, totally Alice Cooper. And I saw he would frequent Maui a lot because he has a house there or something. No big deal.

Yeah, no big deal. Yeah. And I was like, oh my God, this is so freaking cool. But I like to relish in the moment rather than capture it with a photo and bug them and bother them. And then them hate me versus where if I would have done that in the beginning, he probably would never give me parenting advice. We'd never been chopping it up for five minutes. So I'd rather just kind of live, not hating on anyone who does that, but I'd rather just live in the moment and enjoy it and have a story out of it. Do you think that part of them wants you to recognize them for some celebrities, not him in particular, just in general? I think some probably, yeah, maybe people want to come up, but someone like him, he's been probably bothered, he's been bothered since the 70s. So if anything,

he probably would be like, all right, I'll take another photo, sure, or you could have been like, hey, F of you dude. Well, and those rock personalities, you never know what you're going to get. Exactly. And he could have been either or because he came from that era of like, screw you, I'm God, I'm out of here kind of thing. Sorry, I mean to flick you out, but you know what to me. Totally's got flipped off in studio. But like I just kind of, I don't ever want to have a bad experience. And if a bad experience happens because of our conversation, then that is what it is. But, but, but I don't want to be the catapult of it being a bad experience because I bugged them for a photo.

So yeah, I really just kind of be in the moment. Like I saw Bobby before I even took this job. I mean, to us, he's not a celebrity because we work with him, but outside of here, you know, he could be considered a celebrity. Yeah. I remember before I took this gig, I was in L.A. I was at, and I never told him. so because I just I don't really know how you bring this up like hey by the way I totally saw you saw you in the wild but I think he's even talked about on the show before where he was at uh he was at a hotel back with this is back when you guys were doing

dancing with the stars and I was in L.A and it was a hotel he was staying at and there was a hip hop club attached it and it may have been the the moment he met Caitlin it was that exact same moment because he was because he walked off with a girl and I think it was I don't remember but it probably was Caitlin um but it was we were in this hip hop club with me and my friends were hanging out. And it was kind of at the time where I didn't, I didn't, I wasn't taking this job, but there was talks of me moving on from Seacrest to this show. And I remember we're sitting there hanging out having a good time drinking. I was like plastered. So it was a good thing I probably didn't do anything. And I'm sitting there hanging out and I look over next to me and my friend John's

like, oh, I think Bobby's sitting next to us. And he's just like all by himself slumped over on the couch like on his phone just like hanging out. And he's like, you should go over and say hi to him. And I was like, no, I don't want to do that. He was just go over and say hi to him and like take a picture or something. I was like, nah, I don't want to do that. And we're all drunk. I was like, this is probably a bad move. I shouldn't say anything, especially because if there was chances for me to get this job, he may be like, oh, it may somehow click and he'd be like, now that guy was annoying. I don't want him on this show or I don't want anything to do with him. So I just kind of like creepily watched him. And then as we kind of left at the same time,

and we were leaving him at the same time. And I was like, oh my God. And he's, now he's right in front of us. I'm like, just say something to him. And I was like, no, I don't want to say something to him. And I was like, I'm not going to say anything to him, leave me alone. He was just like slowly followed him out and he went to the elevator and then we went our separate way and left the hotel. That's a fun little memory though. Yeah. And like two months later I interviewed for the job and I was like well and I took it as like a sign more than anything. I like, okay, this is a sign that this is my future where I'm going to be and versus like trying to bug him and take a photo with him. That's a cool perspective for sure too, especially if you're

in it and you're around it a lot too. Like it's very easy to um it's called a gurm, right? Like where you're very, so if you haven't heard that term, it's like kind of an industry term, like somebody's a germ over all artists and all they want to do is mean greets and meet all artists. Like people who work with us, like in our company kind of thing? Yes. Or like a fan, it can be a fan too. It's a, it's a term that I've heard.

I've never used it, but some people in the industry use is like it's somebody who's just like overly. Oh, I know those people. He wants to do everything with every famous person. But nothing else. When you ask me to do anything else, like I don't want to do that, but I'll do this. what it involves an artist or a celebrity. Yes. And exactly who you're talking about.

So that's kind of a term. Yeah. Germ, okay. I like that. I'll start using it. Yeah. And maybe some people pronounce it germ, but I call it germ because it feels weird if germ is like a...

It could be in a germ. Yeah. I don't know. It feels weird. But yeah. So like, because you have those, that flip side of things, right? That people are like that. So it's a cool perspective to like think, hey, maybe I should just enjoy this moment.

Yeah. Just take it in. Which is really cool. I, too, like I don't, when I see artists and stuff of any genre, I just am not really like I'll take it if everybody's taking pictures like we're here I'm like yeah I'll take one yeah but it's one of those scenarios where it's like open to it where it's been set up like hey we're taking pictures totally yes or when Chenaya was in I was like I want a picture oh yeah yeah that's a memory I need to remember um but yeah normally like with artists and everything

but but actors and actresses for me that's my like oh this is really cool yeah and that happened when we we were flying down from mike's wedding to Austin and Dennis Quaid was sitting next to us And I so badly wanted to ask for a photo, but I was feeling the moment, right? Like, I'm never going to ask if it feels wrong to me. And he just felt like he was trying to stay away from things. And he was very hurried, like trying. I mean, he left his phone on the plane of how hurry he was trying to get off. Wow.

Okay. Yeah, like, very human moment. Yeah. So you could tell he was trying to not cause issue. I mean, he wasn't, like, this is on a Southwest flight. There's no first class, first of all. And he got in in the C group. Like, he's really not trying to like put itself out there that he's.

like this huge famous person. But I love him as an actor and he's in so many of my favorite movies. He's a great actor, yeah. And so I really wanted a picture, but it just never felt right. So I didn't ask. And kind of a part of me regrets it. But he's in within the country music realm enough. I have a feeling I could potentially meet him again.

Oh, yeah. And asking him more appropriate. Yeah, exactly. Like it becomes in the studio like, hey, by the way, I saw him in the Southwest flight. I didn't want to bother you then. And you left her phone behind. Yeah. Oh, and he'll remember it.

Like, that's probably a rough day for him. Oh, yeah. It probably was a very rough day from him. Yeah. Yeah. So that was one, but I never asked. I just kind of left it. So I did live in the moment.

I watched him drink his Coke and ice and all the things. Try not to pay attention. Did you keep the cup? No, no. I tried not to pay attention. But I was excited. Like, he's such a big actor. He's massive.

You say the name. You don't have to explain who he is. It's Dennis Frickin Quaid. And he's in so, Dennis Quaid and Kevin Costner are up there for me. Oh yeah, Kevin Costner. Oh, totally. Yeah.

In so many of my favorite movies. Like, just really good. But then the other incident that I was a part of that I didn't do, but I saw, I was with my parents and we were shopping in Nashville and I, we saw Keith Urban, Cole Kibman and their kids. Oh, wow. Okay. And my mom's a huge Keith Urban fan, loves him. And I was like, you know what? I know you want to say hi to him right now. Yeah. But it's not a good idea. Like I can tell that they're having a family, like day out trying to enjoy it. Like, just enjoy that you got to see Keith Urban out in Nashville. Don't ruin their time.

Yeah. And she was totally cool about she's like, yeah, you're right. Like I'm not going to. And while we were in the store, we were all in the same store together. And somebody else walked up to him and asked for a picture. And he said, no. He was like, I'm, you know, I'm out with my family. Yeah. So it's a good thing. So I watched.

You guys being rejected. No. And I wouldn't. In the industry long enough to know. And like, I'm like, hey, they'll be. And she's got to meet him. So it's like worked out at like a meet and greet. So it's.

So it all worked itself out. Yes. But it's just funny too because I'm like, I totally was like, no. We cannot in this situation. But for other people, they're like, no, this is perfectly great. situation asked for a photo. My aunt Esther is one of those people when she'd come visit us in L.A. She's the kind of person when she sees somebody

which she would see people all the time in L.A. where she literally would see someone. She'd go, oh my God, that's so-and-so from General Hospital Season 7 Episode 16 and he was the guy that walked in from the front door and da-da-da-da. And she'd be like, oh, I just want to say hi, I want to get a picture. And you're like, stop it. Don't. You're going to ruin our time. You're going to ruin their person's time. But she'll

do it every freaking time. We're at a comedy club. There's a restaurant above at Laugh Factory. And not Tom Hanks. Tim Allen was having lunch. Also a big one. Huge. Like massive.

Like that's another one you say Tim Allen. Oh, I know Tim Allen. Buzz Lightyear, home improvement. The list goes on. Jingle all the way. Jingle all the way. Oh, Santa Claus. Not Jingle all the way.

Santa Claus. Yeah, Santa Claus. He was Santa Claus. He was Santa Claus. Yeah. And she's one of those ones. She was, oh, God, it's Tim Allen. And she's saying us so loud that Tim Allen is hearing her say this.

And he's eating lunch having a great time. And she's like, oh, God. And we're all like, God, answer. Don't do it. And she's the one that will get up, interrupt them, ask them for a picture. Tell them all of her favorite movies and television shows. And you can just see it on their face that they're just like, oh, God, leave me alone.

But every time she gets her picture and she gets her stories out, and they never reject her. They never give her crap. I was like, how do you have? Well, that's probably why, too, that she keeps doing it, right? She's never had a bad interaction. That's a good point. No one's ever told her to shut up and leave me alone.

Well, honestly, like, we kind of have one of those on shows, Ray. Oh, Ray is totally good. He's not a girm, but like he just always asks because he wants to document it because from what he claims his followers want to see it, which yes, fine, maybe they do. Yeah. But I'm like, Ray, no. Like, he meets all these people all the time,

and I'm like, you probably shouldn't have gone up to him, Ray. No filter whatsoever. Yes. Yeah. So we do have one of those on the show, in a way. Everyone's got one in every family. Oh, yeah, this is true. This is our family.

Yeah. But you guys can hear what happened with our person in the family, Ray, when he got rejected for a selfie while he was out at a bar in Nashville. Number four. Ray Mundo said he was rejected for a selfie by a major selection. Where were you? I was at a club. Why are you at a club? Part of the Bachelor weekend. Oh, Bachelor Party, that's right. How old are you? 36. Did you feel too old to be at the club? Nope. I realized a lot of 40 and 50 year old dudes still go to clubs. Also creepy? Probably. Okay. So you're at the club and you see a celebrity doing what? Hanging out by themselves. Was it a country music star? No. Oh, movie star. A movie star. Wow. So he told us it was a woman before a break.

So it's a female movie star. Does she live here? No, visiting. And she's by herself? Not one person around her. And she's standing at a bar or in the middle of the dance floor or what? Dance floor is going off. She's by, if you want, a pole towards the end of the, at the very end of the bar. Like nowhere even near drinks, anything, just by herself.

Any security with her? Not one person. So you see her. Are you sure it's who you think it is? Yes. Immediately. 30 feet away in a poorly lit club knew it was her. So before we find out who it is, you're not going to know the name, you're going to know the face.

Oh, what? Oh, okay. Now I'm getting my Google ready. Oh, great. Okay. Well, just tell us who it is now then. So it was Leslie Mann and she was on... I know that.

Oh, yeah, I know what that is. Okay, so she was on Big Daddy, Georgia the Jungle. This is when I was a kid. And then now this is 40 and some others. But, I mean, it was awesome. Because as a kid, Big Daddy was one of the biggest movies there was. But went right up to him and started talking to her. So you walk up and say,

pardon me, Ms. Leslie Mann, or do you say, hey, random person who I'm just making a conversation with at the bar? I said, big fan of you and Big Daddy. What is going on? What are you doing in Nashville? How are you doing? Why are you all by yourself? You said all that? Yeah, it was a good conversation. We were talking for good couple minutes. And then I asked her, let's do a selfie. Are you sure she was in Big Daddy? Because I don't think. Yeah, she was. She was. Knocked at Big Daddy. Funny people. This is 40. Okay. I know her from that step, but she was in Big Daddy. Okay. So you say let's get a selfie after the conversation? Was she nice to you talking? So pleasant to talk with. I mean, now you realize one of these people are in movies.

I mean, they're photogenic. She didn't make a bad smile. As she's talking, she's smiling. And you're like, now I know why Hollywood loves y'all. She's married to Jed Appetal. Yes, the director. I like her as an actor. She's great.

Okay, go ahead. So then you say, well, I go, let's do the selfie. So I hold up the phone. Let's do the selfie? Yeah. And so as I do that, a manager five feet away from me starts screaming. No!

No selfies, no pictures! grabs my hand, pulls my hand down. Whoa, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. So we chill for it. And I go, come on, please. Can I please do a selfie? And they go, she was, no, we can't do pictures.

Why did you ask again once? I'm persistent. I never asked once. But it was a dramatic no. And obviously for a reason. Yeah, it seemed important that they not take a picture. Because I told her, I said, I photograph everything. part of a morning show. So I said it's very well, of course. When I go, it's eventually,

it's going to be talked about. I said it might as well take a picture. And she goes, I don't care you talk about it. Just don't take a picture of us. Okay. But apparently they can't discuss secrets about whatever, whatever, and people locate her or something. I just, they didn't want anybody knowing she was in Nashville. But there was pictures all over the internet. So other people got selfie. I would understand her security feeling like, we don't want you to post this right now. If you take it and you post it, people are going to know where I'm at right now. and they may try to come to where, like, I understand that. It could have been that.

And I also think that if they say no the first time, you don't ask again. And how do you know there was pictures of her all over the internet in Nashville? I saw her at other bars. There was my buddies, I mean, they frequent a lot of the bars, and she was doing selfies with all kinds of people. So they just didn't want her to be bothered that night at that club, and I was screamed at and my hand was pulled down because of it. Did you feel like you were in the wrong or they were treating you wrong?

I've never been screamed at before over a picture. And I even told her, I said, we're going to, I'm going to talk about it on the radio, so I don't understand why I can't just take a picture. Why would you even say that? Like, listen, lady. It's like threatening here. This will be talked about. You have two options.

Who side are you on here? The managers? I'm on Leslie Mann side. Yeah, Leslie Mann, 100%. Like, if someone doesn't want you to take a picture of them, period. I don't think you take a, you take a picture of them. Regardless. Yeah, you guys sided with the right one because,

They left the club right after that. Because of you? Because of me, she never got to experience that night club. And now you feel bad. They went on a back door and we followed them and then... Wait, why would you follow them? Oh, my goodness. Why would you follow them?

Oh, no. Because it was another side club. So we're like, hey, let's go just talk to him again. We were all fans. Me and my buddies, we all said, dude, she's in massive movies. We all want to meet or want to do pictures. Let's go. Right.

Did you mention the Bobby Bone show? Yeah. Oh, boy. Great. Now Leslie Man hates the Bobby Bone Show. He went from I'm on a morning show to, too. that he really said I'm on the Bobby Bunchel. Have you been drinking a lot?

Yeah, but I still just wanted that picture. Those are the type of things you show kids, you show families. I mean, I wanted to brag to people that I met Leslie Mann. No pictures! Hand gets pulled down. And you don't think you're being a bit dramatic about that? She was scream. I've never been like yelled at like that before my life.

First she did the manager. Whatever. I'm throwing it at a court. Oh, I assumed the manager was a she. I thought you said Leslie Mann was the one screaming. No, Leslie Mann never yelled. Yeah, that's why I'm on the manager's side. Okay.

I know I loved her for a reason. All right, thank you for your story. We do not side on your side. Okay. I would just leave people alone. Or say, hey, can I get a picture real quick? And if they say, no, it would be like, cool. I completely understand.

You can have your privacy. Anything for Ray, guys? No. No, just stop doing that. Just stop doing that. Don't say the Bobby Girl show. Please don't mention our show whenever you do that. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

fun when we have somebody come in for the first time. And this week, Larry Fleet came on the show. And he shared, you know, how he stopped playing music and how he got started again. And it has a lot to do with Jake Owen. Plus, he performed one of his songs that everybody loves. And he talked about his new album. It was just all around. Great interview and great performance. If you've already seen it or heard it, listen to it again because it's so good. But if you definitely haven't watched it, go to Bobbybones.com and watch his performance. So, so good. Number three, the Friday morning conversation with Larry Fleet. Larry, how are you, man? Man, I'm hanging around. What about you?

I ain't seen you in a couple months since you've been over at the house. I know it. I tell people all the time how good you are. I'm like, wait until you see this guy. I know you guys heard of him sound check a little bit. Sounds so good. Geez, Louise. I got goosebumps.

You only play like 15 seconds for making sure everything sounded good. And you started playing and they were like, uh, this got good. I've been practicing. Good for you. You've been in the bedroom. Yeah. Learning some chords. In the bathroom.

That's where you get the best reverb, you know. I do kind of want to walk. I know you and I have walked through it before, but just for new listeners, because I feel like there's so many people that are just now discovering you. You were, like, out of music, and you were working back in Chattanooga, doing what? Well, I was working in concrete, really. It's kind of doing a lot of construction work, but I had done that for a long time, so I kind of knew a lot about, you know, I'd done asphalt, paving, and concrete and heating and air.

whatever it was, you know, a bunch of stuff. So I got with this company and I became the guy that got to go around the job sites and mess with concrete, rebar, asphalt, whatever it was. I kind of knew a little bit about a lot. So that was my job, which was cool because I kind of worked my way up in that and didn't have to, you know, cut rebar and tile that stuff anymore. I was getting to watch other people and make sure they were doing it right. Supervising a little bit.

Exactly, yeah, it was good. And so, and we'll fast forward just a bit, but you're at a wedding, and you're also doing, playing a little music on the side just to make some money. Yeah. Yeah, and you love music, but you had to work a real job at this point. So you're playing at a wedding, and then who was at the wedding who noticed you? A little guy named Jake Owen. And he, yeah, I was making a little money on the side. But, I mean, it was for fun, and somebody needed me to come and play some songs.

So I said, yeah, I'll do it. And there was money involved. good too. But I'm sitting there and Jake walks in and it was kind of in the middle of nowhere too. Like it was a beautiful farm but I wouldn't expect Jake to come to this thing and somebody said he was and I thought, yeah, they're probably drunk or something. Sure enough, he'd come out there and he's sat and watched me play for a long time and at the end the night we just, we got to talk in a little bit and he tried to talk me into quitting my job. I was like, well, I can't do that. Yeah. Like what am I going to?

to do it. He was like, well, you should go for this thing. I said, dude, I've tried to do this thing for a long time and it didn't really work, so I can't, you know, just quit my job and go play tattoos or something. I mean, I ain't going to cut it. And he was like, no, no, man, I think you got it. And so I'll tell you what, just take me on a road with you and we'll see what happens. And he did. And a couple weeks later, I was on the bus with him, and we went down to Florida and played some shows. And next week, we're headed somewhere else. And he's like, you're going quit that job and I said yeah I guess so so when I quit it and no lie it was like I don't know a week or two later it was like well I don't need you anymore you know I got these other shows going on

I can't really take you on it and I was like what am I supposed to do now you know like I can't I don't know what to do so I kind of hung around a bit and I just got back into writing songs with everybody and and that started leading into other things but and then I got one of my heroes Willie Nelson he I got the call to go on a row with him right after that too. So I was traveling around with Willie and playing this old guitar here and just singing for his crowd. And they got it. And it was cool. It was fun getting him to meet those guys and Willie.

And they were real good to me. Yeah. And so here he is. And there's some more. Yeah. It's really an amazing story. And there's more of the story that I want to tell in a second. But you did kind of prime up the studio here with the performance.

I do want you to get to this song. here before we talk some more. Larry Fleet is here, and this song is so good. It's called Where I Find God. You may have heard it on the radio. You may have streamed it. I don't know where you heard it. But if you do hear it, everybody kind of reacts the same way,

and they're like, dang, like I felt that. Like, I feel like there's a message in this song for pretty much everybody going through something. They tend to find their own message in this song. Do you get a lot of that from people hitting you up about it? Yeah, I mean, because there was a lot of different when we wrote it. I wrote it with Connie Harrington. And she's one of my favorite writers.

She wrote, I drive your truck for Lee Bryson, all the good stuff, you know. And it was her idea. She was like, I got this title where I find God, and she hit me up wanting to write it with me. So I said, all right. And I said, well, I find God in a deer stand in a hayfield. And driving, you know, I live in Chattanooga. So I drive back and forth to Nashville all the time, writing songs and stuff. And I said, that's kind of where I do my.

praying or whatever and she was like well yeah i find you know god at the lake and so we just started pretty much putting all of our places that we talk to god and find god or whatever you know in a song there and i put some few chords to it and voila we got a song but uh yeah a lot of people come up to me and that's it's helped them you know people have fought addiction or whatever and they asked me if i have and not necessarily but uh i can see where where they feel that and And, you know, a lot of people just, guys I go duck hunting with, we listen to that going to the duck blind, you know. So it's people use it for weddings now and funerals. So, I mean, it's all over.

I feel like anybody can find their message in this song. Yeah. So here it is. Here's Larry Fleet. Let me say his name again because you need to know it so you can respect it, so you can search it. Larry Fleet, here is where I find God. Pay my tab and put me in a can have to. And he could see I was hurting.

I wish I got his name. Because I didn't feel worthy. He saved me just the same. The fish just wouldn't buy. I want to float around. It was just so quiet. And I could hear my old man saying some just be still.

You can't find peace like this or a pill And from a bar stool to that oven room Sunday morning in a church pew in a dear stand or a hay field And then to stay back to Nashville And Chevrolet with the windows down Me and him Sometimes looking for him and I That's where I find

Larry Fleet Yeah Great job Do you ever get tired of people I'm just going You're amazing All the time It's terrible

Larry's got a record out It's called stack of records It is really good I'm gonna play a little bit of track number one Here's stack of records If you want to know Got a note's in my soul

Little bit And a whole We're gonna come back Just a second One I mean a really hilarious story that I, again, that I want to tell about how good of a dude you are,

but also kind of an awkward conversation where Jake was like, hey, come over at the house. Can I tell that story? Yeah. Because that one's hilarious. Yeah, go for it. So another Jake story? I'm kind of still stuck on that.

Jake's like, quit your job. And then he's like, ah. One more Jake story, but it's not really about Jake as much as it is about Larry. Okay. And they kind of got it, Larry is. All right. And so we'll come back. I only know these stories because I was hanging out with Jake and Larry at the same time.

Here's a clip of the song that he just played here. where I find God. And then I want to play a little bit of track number nine in love with my problems with our friend John Party. How's the record been? People's been loving it? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we messed around, made us a country record.

You did. It's a lot of people, yeah, people get it. And, you know, it's a, I'm proud of it. Like, it's a singer-songwriter kind of thing. And, you know, I write with a lot of good songwriters, and they're pumped up about it because it's country music. And the whole thing with stack of records is I wanted each song to kind of be a little different.

Like when I was growing up, I had a stack of records that my parents had. And it was everything from Ozzy Osbourne to Willie or Murrell or whoever, you know, or Otis Redding. So I got a little influence from all that. And I've tried to put a record together of stuff that I've written that kind of goes with that. How was it playing the Grand Ole Aubrey for the first time? You did that in September. Yeah, that was pretty wild.

You know, I kind of dreamed to get in there one day. And I tried to downplay it, you know, so I wouldn't be nervous when I get up there, but it didn't work. And I mean, and I wanted to kind of do it a little different. So I brought my upright bass player and my buddy who plays Dobro for me. And we went and stood in a circle just us three, and I played this guitar, and we just did it old school. And it was really cool.

when people, they were nice to us, and they seemed to like it. And it was a great moment. I had my little boy and my little girl with me and my wife and stuff, so they don't get to go to a lot with me, but, you know, if I'm going to Grand Ole Opry, they're coming with me, you know, so it was cool. The story I wanted to share, because I learned it because I was hanging out with Jake and Larry at my house, and apparently Jake had invited you come over because they were having, like, a bonfire, like they were hanging out at his house.

Right. And he texts you and goes, say, he says what? First off, we'll go back. I had worked 14 hours that day or something like that, 13 or 14 hours. And I was tired, and I was sitting on the couch. And I get this text. And it was like, hey, man, you'll come over to this little bonfire. We're going to have some people over and have a big bonfire and have some drinks and just sit around and pick a little bit.

And I was like, honestly, I was like, I don't know, man, I'm tired. You know, and my wife's like, I mean, it's Jake Owen, you know. Like, you know, this is when I first got to know. And she's like, maybe you ought to go. I was like, God, I'm tired. And I was like, all right, fine. So I got up and got ready and going to make my drive. So Jake's like, where is Larry?

He's like, I just texted him. He said he's coming. He's like, it's been an hour. It's been two hours. Jake didn't realize Larry was drive from Chattanooga. Oh, my goodness. I was on Mon Eagle Mountain when he called. He was like, where you at, bro?

I was like, I'm on Mon Eagle Mountain. He's like, why? I was like, I live in Chattanooga. He's like, you're going to drive. drive like two and a half hours over here. I was like, yes, I am. And we, it was, but you know what, it paid off that. It was cool because we got over there. We played a lot. And it was that night, I had started, I never messed with social media very much, you know. And so I had a hundred followers on my Instagram. And that night, Jake is like posting about me. And I was like,

look at this. All these followers are coming in. I had like a thousand by the end of the night. I was like, I have made it now. So, Larry says he's not big on social media, but him and I were talking and I was like yeah I got on like one of these apps and bought some bitcoin whatever and then it like bottomed out like two weeks later and I get a message from going how's that bitcoin doing and that's all it said and I was like I'm going to leave that on red right there I got the message yeah but you guys check out check out his whole record it's a stack of records it came out in late September but it's so good it has where I find God that he performed here earlier let me play one more Ray play me track 10 because this is one of my favorites three chords

and a lie Good stuff, man. Thank you. You got the whole thing. Are you now having a little success where you can put, like, lotion in your beard? Because it looks very, like, full. Like, are you taking care of your beard in a new way? I've been that successful.

Oh, you have been that guy? Yeah. All right, good. Yeah, that's how you get it. I mean, nothing helps it grow, but I guess it's manhood and testosterone or something. You know, but yeah, I got a guy in Chattanooga, Chattanooga Beard Company. Matt Patty is his name, which I think is a cool name. and he hooks it up, and he makes it all right there in his shop.

Like, it's got little waxes and all kind of stuff, so I go by. They're about to make my own scent, so. And what is your own scent? What would that consist of? It probably smelled like winter green snuff and maybe some bourbon or something like that. Odd combo, but I'll take it if that's, hey, that's you. Have it. At Larry Fleet.

You guys follow Larry Fleet. Great artist. I do think you'll love the record. and where I find God is doing great. Larry, good to see you, friend. Yeah, you too. Hopefully I see you soon. There is.

Larry Fleet, everybody. Back to me. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. It happened this week. Abby's final dating dilemma update, y'all. We have been going through it for what seems like forever, but it's really only been like about a week. And it's a sketchy.

It is very sketchy. It's sketchy. Guys, words are hard. I'm going to leave this one. because this is just my life. Tell us how sketchy it was. It's a sketchy situation. I'm sketchy and Etsy.

I know. I'm killing it over here. But I'm super glad that it's finally over, honestly. Like I think from the beginning, I've known that what was going to happen. I think most of us on the show, some hoped that wasn't the case. But, you know, I just, I think it's best that it's over. But do you think it's over, though? Like, really?

Because when you talk to Abby and you see her? her, I do. Like in her in her gut, it's over. Maybe in her heart, she's a little like tentative. Yeah. But I think in her gut, it's over. Like, she knows this doesn't feel right. And he's, he's probably going to continue

to do some other things. So she's going to be like, this is definitely not right. Yeah, yeah. Because he's probably lying about some things. And if he wasn't lying about any of this, boy, do we feel bad. If he's a good guy, but there are signs pointing to and evidence pointing to it's not that great, which at some point, especially because

don't know each other and they haven't met, just be upfront and honest and be like, yeah, you know, I was just trying to, trying to communicate with you. And I was really nervous and couldn't think of a better way to do it. And this is my way of trying to get in with you. And I did X, Y, Z. I'm really sorry, really creepy, really weird how I got your number and everything. But do you still want to give me a chance kind of thing? Yes.

And very unlikely, like, if there's one thing I've learned, and you can probably attest to this too, when you've been through really bad past relationships and past situations, it's really easy after you've learned and done the work on yourself to spot red flags. Oh, yeah. It's never easy in that moment, and it's never easy if you've never experienced it. But as soon as you have, and it's bad enough, just like with your last marriage, for me, it's my last relationship. Like, I can spot a red flag now after going through it and after putting in years of work

to get through that. Oh, yeah. I can spot a red flag from miles away now. I'm like, it doesn't feel like it, but I promise you it is. It's going to be. Even if it doesn't feel like it right now, maybe it's a white. I have a green, red and white flag in dating when I talk to my girlfriends. Red flag, obviously bad.

Green flag, great. White flag means like, tentative. This can go either way. Okay. And if you see a lot of white flags, it's not the best situation because they are likely going to turn red. Yes, yeah. That's a good way to look at it. Yeah.

I never heard of that green, white, and red. Oh, no. I made it up because I was like, well, we kept talking about red flags and I was like, we got to have the good flags and the bad flags and what's the in between. Yeah. So I just associate them as red flags. green flags, white flags. Okay.

I like that. You know, I'll have to give it to my daughter when she gets older. Yes. It's a great tool. Yeah. And I, you know, throughout the whole thing with Abby, there were so many white flags, right? Yeah. And you're watching it transpire and you're like, it's only going to turn into red flags at this point.

Yeah. It's really hard for white flags to turn green. Right. Unless there's some sort of misunderstanding or something, miscommunication or whatever. Which is likely not the case, right? Yes. Usually. Yeah.

If somebody is a bad miscommunicator in the first place, it's already. red flag. Yeah. And then you continue that on and they're lying and it's all twisted and people can't stay up in their lives forever, you know, and it comes unwinded at some point. Totally. So I think I felt all, like from the beginning I never felt green flags. Yeah.

It's never a good sign. It was a sketch the whole time. Yeah. Referring to Abby, I would say very sketched. And like you said, we all have had experiences and we're trying to give her the advice. But for a moment there, she had blinders on. And she was like, no, he's the greatest. He's just da-da-da-da.

And, of course, because you're hopeful. You're hopeful. You should be. You want to be when it comes to love, right? Yes. This would be such a great story to tell at our wedding. This is how we met. Oh, my God.

But then it gets a point, like you said, the white flags start turning red flags. And it was just getting just too much. Well, and like, you know, my last relationship being abusive, right? But like in that, when I was in that, I couldn't see out of it. I see in it. And I see what's happening.

happening in it, but I couldn't see out of it. And whenever you get into a relationship of any kind, all you can see is what's happening in it. If it's unhealthy. Yeah. As soon as it's a healthy relationship, you can see everything. Totally. Because somebody's not putting blinders on you.

One way or the other, right? You're not putting them on yourself and the other partner isn't putting them on you. It's just all, it's all out there. Yeah. But in an unhealthy relationship, you can't see out of it. Yeah. And plus you become like a fixer. They're like, well, because you spent so much time and energy into it.

Like, well, I can fix it. I can fix it. And you can never fix it. There's some things you can. But when a person's, especially when you get your 20s and 30s and older, a person is who a person is. There's nothing you can do about it. And then even when you get into a good relationship, like the one I'm in with my wife, where I consider my soulmate.

I always feel weird when they say like your current marriage, because it assumes there's going to be a third marriage. But like my soulmate, my wife, she is like for the longest time, the first couple years were so difficult because it's almost like a like a beaten puppy where like you're so used to something happening. And then when it doesn't happen, you're like always waiting for that bad thing to happen. And she was like, why are you like, why are you like that? And I'm like, oh, because this happened in my previous relationship. So I just always assume that it's eventually going to lead to that or this is how you think or what you're going to say or do. And she's like,

no, she's like, your ex-wife was a piece of crap. Like, I'm not going to do that to you. This is not who I am. You need to kind of like let go of your past, which is so tough to do because your past also puts those guards up so you don't deal with it again in the future. But when you find somebody to your point who doesn't do these things. It's like it's it's a breath of fresh air to let go and enjoy life and enjoy life with somebody else. Did you ever after that that marriage, um, go into therapy or anything? No, I never did. No. Have you ever been in therapy? Um, I tried to do therapy with her. We did it one time. Not with her. Just on your own. On my own. No, I never did therapy. But we did it when we were kids because of the whole divorce thing. My mom tried to put us in

there. And therapy and my family and our, our life was always a stigma of like, oh, if you go in therapy, something's wrong with you. Like they're like, it was never like a positive thing. It was always a, oh, you're broken. You're going to therapy kind of thing. So I always had a negative connotation towards it. So I've never done it. Could it be a good thing?

Sure. But I've always kind of just, you know, handled it myself, which could be good and bad. Oh, yeah. Well, and I ask that too because like so much of me in my current relationship, like I went into therapy after my last relationship. lot of PTSD, a lot of things that I was trying to work through, right? Yeah. And I couldn't find a way out. It was scary because I was mad at myself, right? You're mad at yourself after something like that happens because you take some of the blame. Yeah. Even if you're not supposed to, you still do.

Of course. And so I have worked on all that, you know, like I got to the other side of that, if that's how you want to put it. And now in my current relationship, though, even though I am as healthy as I can be, I still poke at him, right? I'm still trying to create drama because I don't know any different. And so like the other day I was sitting in there with my therapist. I'm like, why am I poking a bear that isn't a bear? Yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah. So like I was curious if like you ever did that if you had worked through it. And it's different for everybody. Everybody's, you know, journey to that is different. And some people can figure it out on themselves because they've had to, right? Yeah. Just like with you having therapy as a negative connotation. Like,

it's very hard to trust it again. Right. Yeah. And it's always hard to trust somebody you don't know with your thoughts and just like, and like, why would I tell you you you're a stranger? Why am I going to tell you what's going on with me. I don't know you. And for me, it's a trust factor. I don't trust you. I barely even trusted my previous relationships and stuff. Like, why am I going to trust you with this information?

So for me, it was always hard to divulge myself to somebody that I didn't know and I didn't trust. So I just never did it. It was always self-soothing or whatever. But for you, it worked out for you, right? Because most people go through that and then they can't get out, right? Like, they're in this mindset and they don't find something again. You did.

You found your wife, your soulmate now. Yes, and I feel like it was karma. Like I got good, the karma on my side of, I could have easily cheated on my ex-wife, like she was cheating on me. Because there was a point where I knew she was doing it. And I worked in the radio industry in San Francisco. It's a big market. There's a lot of people. There's a lot of beautiful women in San Francisco.

I could have easily done many different events where I go and you're like essentially a celebrity in that wherever you're at, whether it be a concert or a station event or whatever. I could have easily cheated on her many different times. But I didn't. And there were scenarios where I was put in where I could have cheated. on her, but I was like, no, I'm married, even though it's a broken marriage, you know, this isn't right because I've vowed to be with this person only, even though that other person has got their legs up and hanging out with other other dudes constantly. Well, that was an interesting way of putting that, man.

I hear you. But I was like, no, it's not right, even though what she's doing isn't right, but I was always two wrongs don't make it right kind of thing. And I feel like because I didn't stray and I tried to make it work and was, you know, I guess monogamous towards her. I feel like I was paid off in good karma points because then I made. at my soulmate and it was okay, I was given what I was what I deserve. Yeah.

I do feel like the universe feels that, right? Yeah. You're putting out good energy. Like at some point you have to get some back. Yes, because I was like, I'm doing all these things. And I feel like I'm a good person and I'm just getting crap. I was so pissed up at the world. And then it all, it all just came together and it paid off handsomely.

Gosh. It's so crazy too, just to think how you come to a moment that you never saw coming. Right? Yeah. Like from that to this and this really awesome time in your life when it once upon a time did not feel that way. Oh, yeah. You know, which is also the premise of like, you know, it's okay to not be okay. Like that season of your life where you're just like, man, this all sucks.

Oh, yeah. But in the moment you're like, oh my God, this all sucks my life's over. But it's not. You know, it's a blippin time that whatever months, year, whatever, is nothing compared to your entire lifetime. It's so true. And it's just another conversation where we could dive so deep into things. and maybe say that for another time. Yeah, exactly.

I think we have some more here, though. We need to dive into personally for the both of us. But yeah, you guys, right now, you can listen to the final kind of dating dilemma with Abby and her random text her because, I mean, it kind of ties a bow on the rest of this. In a way, that isn't really a bow. It's like a bow that maybe's a little scarred up. I don't know. Number two. I do want to go through some Abby stuff real quick.

Abby, are you ready? Are you standing by? Ready as I'm going to be. Quick recap. A couple weeks ago, Abby said, hey, this guy accidentally texted me a picture. He said, oops, I didn't know that was your number. I meant to text him a fire chief.

And he's like a good-looking guy and a fireman. Suit, whatever. What is it? A uniform. Yeah, there you go. Uniform. And so then Abby's like, wow, you're cute. Let's start talking.

And we're like, watch out, Abby. It could be a scam. And then he goes, it's not a scam. I meant to send this to my fire chief. And then he lists his fire. He shows Abby his fire chief's number. remember, well, we call his fire chief. That wasn't a fire chief.

So we look him up on Instagram. We can all see his Instagram page. For some reason, Abby can't. He's blocked her. And we're like, Abby, this is not good. Run. Walk. Run.

Whatever it takes. Get away. But she's still texting him. How was your day, Boo Boo Boo? Oh my gosh. I never said boo-boo. Yeah. Would you have for dinner?

Yeah. And I don't know that he's a bad, bad dude. No. But I know that it doesn't seem like he's on the up and up. Morgan's theory was he found her number, acting like he didn't know who she was, knew her from the show, and then tried to have a relationship, establish some communication. And if that's the case, he did have a chance to admit it.

And he didn't, right? Yeah, that's what we were waiting for. And Abby, he did. No, he's never admitted. And leading up to when she got that text, like that week or the week before, we had been doing a segment on Abby being single and trying to find her somebody and lunchbox, you know, catfishing her in a way. And so I don't know if maybe that planted the seed in the sky's head is like,

oh, maybe I can sneak my way into her text messages. And you've FaceTimed him. He's a real person. Yeah, he's real. Like, that's the whole thing. And I mean, yeah, to Amy's point, like, I was thinking this whole time, oh, could this be lunchbox? Is he up to this?

That's why I even brought it to the show. And then it turns into, I don't think it's lunchbox. Mike D has told me Mike D monitors our email account. He said that we've got more emails about this than anything in years. People just having opinions. Or people going, here's a question, Abby. Has Abby facetimed the firefighter from home

or was the only at the station? The first time he was in his car in a parking lot. So yeah, I've never had from home because I only have twice, so he wasn't home. The question is, will he FaceTime at home? Thanks Whitney. Yeah, we didn't even talk about that, you know?

Is that an eyebrow razor to you? Like, hmm. I guess. He was running errands, so I, I, you know, I didn't think anything of it, but looking back. Here's another one. This says not a scam, but he's hiding something. A similar thing happened to me with a firefighter.

I live outside of Wichita, Kansas. About six months ago, this very thing happened to me on Instagram. I mean, exact. I lived in Wichita. Firefighter. I actually thought I was someone he went to school with. Never wanted to meet me in person. The only time he would talk was when he was at work at his firehouse.

Was always willing to give out numbers to those he works with, but the numbers were always wrong. come to find out he was on Tinder Hinge POF I don't know what that is Plenty of fish Okay Amy I knew that a lot too quick

I don't know I just put it together She's that way too similar Just wonder if it's the same guy I would say block and abort mission for sure Okay Oh that's wild Here's another one says

FaceTime can still be a scam So relating to Abby Saga There are a ton of men out there scamming And saying they're from cities in the U.S. but clearly they are not. And yes, they FaceTime you as part of the scam. And change. They wrote a typo here.

And change you should number afterwards or get another phone. Oh, that's change your number. Okay. If he's for real, he would not have blocked his Instagram, but it's fun to bust those dummies. I do love all the updates. Signed Wendy. And then finally, are we sure he's still single?

The fireman, are we sure the guy is single? Blocking someone on social media doesn't allow Abby to comment on a post. Ooh. That someone would see. possibly raising questions as to why this woman, Abby, is commenting. Abby should casually, I don't want to mention this, because you could say something and then you're not going to, eh.

No. Are you still talking to him? So can I read this final sentence what they say to you? Yeah, you can read it. Abby should casually mention that our work is sending her to where he lives next month to see his reaction. Oh, okay. Yeah.

That's scary. Would you bet he's listening to this right now? I don't think right now, but I think he's going to right after. Yeah. He's at work. What would you like to say to him? Oh, man. Well, just like looking back, what's crazy to me is how supposedly you say it was an accident, but how come you were so, like, open to sharing your whole life with me, you know? Like, for me being a complete stranger to you, you sure told me a lot about yourself and your family and everything. So it's like, and you knew I was on the radio, too. How? How did he know? Yeah. Well, I mean, that was after the FaceTime, and he knew I'm in radio. And he knew, and after, even after listening back and know. after the whole deal where he listened back to all the shows,

he still continued to tell me personal things about his family. You know, and I'm like, I didn't really tell him that much about mine. Does it make you sad? Does it make me sad? Does this make you sad? I mean, it's too exhausting at this point. Like, I'm like, okay, there's just too many red flags. And I also realized that he was, like, distracting me with things, like the tour, you know,

like of the firehouse and kind of avoiding some things. Because obviously that got my attention was the fire station. but then I'm over here ignoring the major red flags. Here's what I'll say, and then I'll move on, and we'll only accept updates if any are needed. But we have a lot of friends in places, low and high, actually. There was a background check done. Oh, oh gosh.

Do you know about it? I knew there was one kind of being done, but I don't know many of the findings. I'm kind of scared. I would just chill. That's what I'll tell you. Just chill. Just chill and don't talk.

Just stay away. Okay. Like sketchy? There's some sketchy stuff going on. No, I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say sketchy stuff at all, but I would just say if I were you and I were single and I were a young, what are you, 331, 32? I probably would just go, hey, you know what, this isn't for me. The situation, how it's all come together and how I feel about it, it's probably not for me.

Right. What I've learned is he is a real person, but I don't think I'm ever going to have the answer. He is a real. You're right. He's a real person. He's very real. Okay. But I don't think I'm going to have a real person.

the answers of how he found me. Correct. And you know what? That's okay. I told you guys, I have to get a new phone because people call me now and just yell, F you and my phone, because somehow they got my number. That's crazy. Why don't they send me fireman pictures? I'd rather have that. Then people just scream and F you, I hope you die. Oh, they'll get all kinds of stuff. It says no caller ID and I'm going, okay, who is this?

Because sometimes work calls will come from no caller ID from different places. And I'm like, hello? You're going to hear, like someone's driving in the car, you know that went? Just Bobby? And I'm like, oh boy, this is going to go one or two ways. I'm about to get a job offer in my dreams or I'm about to be told F you.

That's quite the difference. And so I go, like this, I go, huh? And they'll go, hey, you suck, a show sucks, I hope you die, F you, click. And I'm like, wow, man. I like that. And those happen a lot more than job offers. I'll be honest with you.

So after like 20 years, I have to change my phone number. And then I get to decide what people I get to give the new number. Oh, that's always fun. That's always a tricky situation. So, Abby, I would just say, we did a background check. There's nothing that would say you're in danger or anything like that at all. Zero. Probably a fine guy.

But I would just say, as you being who you are, I would just chill. I mean, emotional danger, maybe. The whole thing's emotionally damaging now anyway. I know. At this point, I just feel bad for Abby. And, yeah, I think just distance yourself from the whole thing and let's act like it never happen. Unless you text you, then update it. Other than that, stay well.

And that's the thing. All the messages I've gotten from listeners, too, that can relate. I mean, like, I think people like myself that have pure intentions, we don't think that someone's going to do that. You know, we're like, why would they do that to someone like me? Same. I'm like, why wouldn't somebody call me on the phone? You'll F you.

Yeah, exactly. I just want pure attention. It's like, how's your day going? What would you like a job, you know? Hang in there, Abby, okay? Okay, well, thank you all for your help. You know, I appreciate it. Hey, case close.

Done. We need the little thing. All right. Abby, back to the phones. I'm sure we're getting calls right now. I'm sure we're getting a ton of calls. You need to answer. You don't have to call about that, but if you do want to call,

Abby, I'll be there to answer. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Such an emotional, cool moment on the show this week that we have all been waiting for. Eddie shared that he finally got to adopt his two foster kids. He and his wife have been waiting and waiting because of the pandemic, so many delays. And finally, they were able to be adopted. So you can hear Eddie's emotional reveal right now.

Number one. Breaking news. Personal news. Somebody on the show has a big news announcement and that person is not me or Amy. It is Eddie. Oh my goodness. This is big. You said it was life changing.

It is because, gosh, almost three years ago, my wife and I opened our house to become a foster home and we got two boys. Gosh, and I never, ever, ever thought that we would get to the same. point. Well, I remember, too, you didn't take them both in his foster kids at the same time. You didn't even want to be a foster parent at first. That's correct. And then you call one nine, you're like, hey, we're going to go pick up a baby. We're going to keep it for a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, my wife was, I mean, she's been wanting to do this for as long as I can remember, but I've been the roadblock. I was the roadblock of just like, we're fine. Like, we have our own kids. Our life's good. We're okay. We're finally in a good place where we can really just be

ourselves and just us four. And then this happened. And so then they call you how long after the baby? They call us. We got the baby for about three or four days. And then they called us again and said, hey, they have, this baby has another brother, a sibling that needs a home quick. And so they said, it might not be forever. It just may be for a couple days if you can take in his sibling. So we said, okay, we can take him in for a few days. We'll see where that goes. And now it's been three years. It's, yeah, I mean, we're pretty shy, just a few months shy of three years. And, and I remember, I would say about a year ago, Bones, or about a year and a half ago is when I kind of just decided, like, there's no way I can picture my life without these two boys. You know, it went from like, we're just going to be a foster home. We'll obey God. And we'll just see where that takes us and we'll go from there, right? But, but I'd say about a year and a half ago, I said, I cannot see our family without these two boys being a part of our family. And I'm just proud of. to announce, Mones, that a judge has approved our adoption. And we're, they're ours forever.

They're ours forever, man. Like, these two boys are part of our family now. And we are a family of six, just like that. And so they are now your kids. Yes. They are our boys. We went to the, I guess not a swearing-in. What did I go to, a hearing?

I mean, it was, yeah, it was our adoption hearing. Where you go in and, you know, we all took a picture. You know, it was a whole thing. It was pretty awesome. I had my boys dressed in cowboys gear. Oh, yeah. We get to the courthouse. And it's Eddie and his wife, and lunchbox was there, and I was there.

And then the kids were there. And they're all wearing Dallas Cowboy jerseys. And I was like, guys head to a game after this? No, no. So our idea was to have Dallas Cowboys jersey for all four of them. And they were labeled one for my oldest, two for the next, three for the next, and four for the baby. Got it. In that order.

Your wife said you guys had ordered. some prior to getting those, but you ordered them from China. Yes. And they said Dallas Cowboy. Yeah. Yeah. Those eventually came in and we're actually pretty cool. But yeah, we were worried that we're going to say Dallas Cowboy.

And so now what changes? So now, I mean, I'm telling you, we're so relieved because when you're a foster home, you have a lot of people coming into your house. You have caseworkers coming in sometimes weekly, sometimes, you know, twice a month, three times a month or whatever. And they're just kind of checking to see if you're. your house is okay for them. And now that's done.

Like we're, we're just going to live a normal life with these two boys, a part of our family. They are my sons. They are my son's brothers. Like, that's just what it is now. We're just a family of six and we can move on with our lives.

And we're just, I mean, I'm just so, so excited. The oldest. Yes. Because the baby only knows you guys. We picked him up at the hospital,

so he knows no one else. The oldest, what is his take on it? I want to say that he doesn't open up very much. I think he goes to therapy, but he doesn't really open up to them, really. I think eventually at some point in his life, he will. But I can see changes, you know, as just the days go by. I know that during the court date, the day that we adopted them,

there was a little bit of fear when we got to the courthouse. I can see fear in his eyes, like, oh, great. Like, this reminds me of the last time I was in court, which was the reason I'm here. You know, like the last time I saw my mom. This is, that's, that's, I could just see that in his eyes. But when the adoption was finalized and we told him that you are Garcia, like you are part of our family, it was just relief, huge relief. And the rest of the day was very exciting. He said he wanted to start learning Spanish.

He wanted to have tacos for dinner because he's a Garcia now. Oh, wow. He's fully embraced the culture. He was all in. Just like that. Just like that. He was all in. And I mean, I don't know if he truly grasped.

the idea of what was happening with the judge and the courtroom and all that. But we made him understand completely that there's no going back now. You're part of us. This is, we're his family. Well, congratulations, man. Thank you, man. It's amazing. Thank you so much. Many private conversations about it. But the fact that, you know, publicly you can say it. Yes. We've been through the whole process on the air over the last three years. You have two extra kids, two kids. What do you call them now? Just your sons?

They're our boys. Just your... Those are my boys. Yes. So now you have four boys. And your wife. Poor boys. Yeah, she is outnumbered for sure. Holy, man. Yeah. Well, I can congratulate.

Last night somebody farted and she was like, well, this is just a part of my life. There's four of, four farts. And we all laughed, me included. Uh-huh. Yeah. After the hearing was talking to the judge, and I'm asking questions like, so you never putting anybody in the big house? Like, because the judge was just available hanging out.

Dude, he let us have the courtroom for like 30 minutes. He said, this is all years. Do whatever you want here. So it was crazy because once all the kids left, we all got naked. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's wild. Interesting. We did a play and everything.

All seriousness, congratulations, man. Thank you, man. Thank you so much. So happy for your family. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Another week and gone and another weekend we dove into some serious personal things. Our fears, I mean, our dating lives. I mean, so many things we talked about, right, Steve?

Yes, a lot of things. Yeah, favorite concerts, worst concerts. Yes. Which is typically what happens with us. We tend to go on a lot of different trails. Oh, yeah. When it comes to this podcast, we're just kind of sitting here and we're like, oh, we should talk about that. Oh, yeah, totally.

Yeah, but that's what the people want, though. They want to hear us go off in tangents. Yes, it's not fun when we just stick to the script, right? Which, by the way, I don't even have a script. I literally have intros to things and then the rest is free-balling, which is why I mess up a lot of words. That's okay, that words are hard. Yeah, words are very hard. But thanks for hanging out with me.

Tell everybody where they can find you social media. So on Instagram and Twitter at Scuba Steve Radio. I don't do TikTok. I don't do Facebook. I don't do Facebook. I don't do MySpace. Don't do Snapchat. I don't do Friends Store.

I don't do plenty of Facebook. Steve is on the Loki 2 social media app. Yes. And what's that one that I've seen lately and people will put it on their Instagram account and they link to it. And then you click on it. It's just basically Instagram, but it's like in a straight feed. It's like VSC.com or something.

Are you talking about it's their Instagram feed on a link? Maybe. But it's. seems like it's a different app. And I usually see it more with the younger, like the younger audience, like teenagers. Well, so like, oh, Steve. Or do you have one? Well, no.

I'm trying to find, I don't follow any kids. So I'm trying to find, but my nephew will post stuff every once in a while and then like I'll click on it and then it'll go to the person's profile and it's like vSc.com or something and I was like and I keep forgetting to ask because I'm like oh Morgan would know because this is what you do like you know all about this kind of stuff or vSCO dot co this is it yeah I think it's vSCO dot CO what is that I don't have it I've seen other people have it like if I'm being honest with you I'm not entirely sure it definitely is a young young thing like super young I'm talking like high school kids only high I've seen it on. But I've definitely heard people talk about it, use it and stuff. It is another

app. And people are using all of their social media to connect with other apps. Everybody has their Instagram on their TikTok and their Instagram on their Facebook or their Facebook on their Twitter. Yeah. Why don't we just have one? Why can we just be like North Korea and just have one? See, we're not North Korea. I want the communist social media.
