In case this is your first time hanging out with me, what I do is I talk about the best seven segments from our show this week. And boy, do I have so much to share with y'all because this week was the week that Eddie and Scoobo Steve went from West Virginia to Tennessee.

Eddie walked. Scoobo Steve drove. It was a whole thing. I mean, it went on all weeks. So naturally, I have a lot of segments on that that came into this best bits. So I have to have both of them on to talk about all this because there's just so many questions. I have so many things I want to know. And I know you guys want to know it too. So, you know, I'm just not even going to talk anymore.

We're just going to get right to it. So Scoobo Steve, Eddie, y'all ready for this? We're ready for it. We're ready for it. Da-da-da-da-da-ba-ba-ba-da-ba-da-da-ha. Yeah, we're ready for this. in at number seven. It's, you know, number seven on the list because it's kind of sad, but also, I had to talk about it anyway. A lunchbox is very upset about Eddie's success with the walk.

And Eddie's already laughing because this is kind of funny. It is funny. And at one point in the walk, I think it was maybe day three. He was calling me every day. And day three, he called me like seven times. And every time I would answer, it'd be like, what's up lunch? And he would say, yeah, are your feet hurt? Uh, are you? Are you cramping? And I'm like, no, actually, I'm feeling all right. Oh, you're back. Your back's got to be hurting, right?

He was trying to put it in your head. He was trying to mentally mess with you. And I'm like, I don't understand what you're doing right now. He's like, I'm just checking on you, buddy. I really hope you can do this. So now I realize why he was calling it. And do you ever think at any point in time that he, like, was trying to be sympathetic towards you? Or was it all like, I want you to fail?

Okay. So there was one point where I was worried about my feet. And I was, it was hurting. My feet were hurting. The balls of my feet were hurting. My heel was hurting. Any pressure I would put on my heel, it would hurt. And so he had called and he said he was with his cousin who was a strength and conditioning

coach for a minor league baseball team. I'm like, oh, great. Put me on speaker. I want to talk to your cousin. And of course, it's lunchbox family. So he's on there saying, yeah, dude. you pretty much should have just trained better. And I said, but what can I do?

Like, when I get to the hotel tonight, like, can I ice my feet? Do I do an ice bath or whatever? He's like, no, you're pretty much screwed. Like, you should have trained better. I said, right, right. But icy hot, like, is there anything I can do? He's like, no, you're screwed. So there was no sympathy.

It was more of a best friend being like, you're screwed. Right. I was lunchbox's cousin. And so I'm like, put lunchbox on the call. He's like, yeah, man, I mean, you heard a professional. you're screwed and so to me it's like both of these guys are just telling me like yeah man you're not gonna make it like you might as well just quit and come home so no I think I think he was legitimately checking in on me but I think at the same time he wanted to be the first one to get the

update that I was not gonna make it I told you sir I knew and that's lunchbox lunchbox is the king if I told you so and I think from the beginning he's like you're not gonna make it and he wanted to be the first to know if I wasn't gonna make it well and there's there's several layers to this. Like, not only do we talk about it several days, it's the start to finish, like, all over the radio show, right? Your TikToks were going viral. You raised over $280,000 for National Angels. You had several different news coverages. It was all over our social media. It was all over your social media. You gained so many followers from it across your social media platforms. Like, this isn't just the news I think that lunchbox is upset about. It's that entire

attraction to you that just came in the span of weeks. Yeah. Like somebody else's spotlight, right? You can ask scuba, I think from the very beginning. Scuba, did we ever go out looking for media or any kind of viral video? Did I ever come to you and say like, ooh, ooh, we got to do this for social media? No, because the company was basically saying we shouldn't do anything with the public because I know the pandemic is pretty much over, but we have these strict guidelines of meeting with people

in the public just for the safety of us of catching the virus or anything. So we had to purposely not allow anyone to meet up with us, join us on the walk, come cover it. It was just going to be, and I going to walk and me following him, and that was it. Which, you know, if this would have been, you know, 10 years ago, we'd have been, like, this whole thing would have probably have people following us. We would have encouraged it and had news crews on both ends,

but it just happened organically. They'd reach out. And I was like, well, I mean, if you're going to be in the area and you're here, you might as well do it. And the first one we did was on Zoom. So it wasn't technically socially distance and not. in person. And then at the very end, that one guy, we're at the very end of the walk and some guy comes up and pulls up next to you. And what did he say to you? I thought he was

like someone encouraging me. And he pulls up and he wasn't smiling. He wasn't pumping his fist. He just goes, my name's Lee with Channel 5. I'm here to interview you. Yeah. So like the photojournalist side, maybe not the actual journalist. He was the photojournalist. Yeah. And so I said, all right, dude, pull your car over. I think your best bet is to drive about a mile up and then I'll get to you. And so that's how we did it. But, but I mean, I didn't go out looking for the media. They, somebody would call them or people would email them and say, hey, you should probably cover this is pretty cool. And they thought, they thought it was pretty cool, too. Well, and typically with a lot of things that happen with news and articles getting picked up,

it's always something that after it goes viral, right? Like 90% of the time the news doesn't cover something until it hits a point of its peak. And I could see. at this point still a lot of coverage of y'all doing this. Yeah. Because it really just recently hit its peak. Yeah. And typically people tell the story after it happens, not while it's happening. Yeah.

So there's still a lot of possibilities for more news stations to pick y'all up. Sure. But I also don't want to like let this side because a lot of people online were like, why, you know, why are they're not listeners? Why is there not this huge party being thrown at the finish line? We're not on air in Bristol, Virginia and Tennessee. Like, we're not there. I think scuba just made a point that I didn't know.

And I think a lot of our listeners didn't know is that we didn't, had we been able to say, hey, go meet him at the finish line. They would have been there. Hey, go follow him. Hey, go hang out with him. Oh, we would have had a forest gun. You would have had that. But we had it organically. It happened anyways.

Along the route, it'd be a combination of people driving by honking either. Most of it was nice. There was some rude people weren't happy with us. Yeah. Lock in traffic and stuff. reason. But yeah, we had a lot of people who were driving by, hey, Eddie, or pulling over the side of the road and the other side of the freeway. Eddie, you can do this. Keep going. Lots of honks. Lots of yelling. And people would pull over at some point and they would run up to us

and they would want to take a photo with Eddie. And we would do it for, you know, for them and talk to them for a quick second. Hey, we got to keep walking. So walk with me here. We had a guy run up to us that we had a moment. I thought so bad for him. Well, first, I was nervous because my whole thing was to make sure Eddie was safe, whether it was from a vehicle or from people. So I saw a guy running up and I was like, hey Eddie, guy running up. He's either really happy, you dropped your wallet or he's coming to kill us. So I was going to be. So I was ready for one of three options.

And of course, he was a really nice guy and wanted to say hi and that kind of stuff. So, I mean, we had, I would say hundreds, hundreds and hundreds of people coming to visit or driving by to say hello. It was really cool. Well, and you guys posted about a lot of them. Scoobo Steve is the one that was taking all the photos and videos. I'd say we posted about a fourth of what came. because I took pictures. I try to take pictures of everyone that visited just for my thing.

But when it came to posting time, I just, I can't put everyone on there. Too overloaded. But I have them. I have pictures with everyone that came out. I try to get video people driving by honking and things like that. Well, and that's just a super interesting point that I just don't think a lot of people knew is that we were still dealing with some pandemic protocols that despite us being outside, despite, you know, the light of the end of the tunnel being here, we were still following

a lot of things that we had to do. And it was already huge. It was already massive. That whole thing was like so many people were saying the best radio bit we've ever done. And on so many levels, people loved it. But I think it would have even been more massive had that not been a stipulation. And I think that's important to note. Yeah, I agree with that.

So we'll get, we have so much more to talk about with this. But the highlight right now at this moment is lunchbox being very disappointed. And you told me how you feel about that. But Scoob is Steve, like you would have been the second one to kind of receive this, for lack of a better term in his way, lunchbox notes it. It's fame. Yeah. You were the driver. You did the whole trek as well just in a different sense.

But technically, you were even going slower than Eddie was going. I mean, Eddie was speedwalking like a mom. And you were driving like one, two miles per hour. Yep. So like how do you feel about this entire thing and like that you had a part in it? I mean, I think the first thing is I feel like it's like we did it and like we blacked out and not like black out drunk, but you just kind of do it and you're just so focused on for me was making sure that Eddie was one. He was always staying on top of, you know, keeping him fueled, make sure he was fed, make sure that he was on top of changing his socks and shoes like things he don't think that are a big deal. But if he injures himself or gets a blister or splinter or any sort of issue to his feet or legs, we're done.

We can't continue on. It's not like we're walking to our car. Like we're walking around an entire state from West Virginia down to Tennessee. So there was that and then the constant checking of traffic. So you just kind of like you're in it and we know we're doing it and you don't really think about it. You're just doing it. And after day two, day three, it just becomes almost like this is our job. Like we wake up in the morning, see each other down in the lobby, have a quick breakfast.

And it's like, all right, it's going to work. And so you don't really think about it as anything but that. I mean, there's times when listeners come up and it kind of sets and like, oh, my God, we're doing something right now. because really it just felt like we were just kind of doing our job, but outside the studio. So yeah, as far as recognizing that side of it, I didn't even think about that, never hit me. It still hasn't hit me that that's part of this whole thing. It was more just us going out there, having fun, and really raising money, but also bringing awareness to foster families and foster children. Because that's really something that I think people don't really think about is human life, essentially needing help.

They were forgotten. They were not taken care of. And someone else coming in to step up and do that, someone like Eddie and, and, anyone listening as a foster parent or a foster kid that gets this. So for me, that was more what it was as a father, making sure people knew what this was. So does that kind of impact? I mean, for both of you guys, I think you guys have both noted that that was the more important part of this.

Of course. I completely agree with that. I mean, I think Scooba and I learned a lot on this trip. Just, I mean, we walked through some communities that were just in bad, bad shape. And I'd never seen that with my own eyes. And to me, that just made me sad that, like, that there are places in this country that people don't see that people are living in a way that they really just should not live. And they have no internet. They have no cell phone.

They have things that we consider to be an everyday luxury. They've never even touched. Yes, ever. We saw a lot of that. And we educated a lot of people on foster kids. We saw homelessness. We saw a lot of things that you normally don't do. Why?

Because you're driving 70 miles per hour. Yes. Like, past it. Like, you truly had to sit. there driving one mile per hour walking four miles an hour and sit there and and really look at the world around you yes yeah and met a lot of really cool people on the way too that and then restaurants or gas station stops or whatever and then we talk to you guys and get an update on the money and you're like this is really cool because we're seeing the reality of it you guys are

spreading the word and then people are being moved by it and donating money and maybe maybe hopefully getting a little spark in their brain about maybe becoming a foster parent. You know, like all of this was all happening while we walked in four days. And to me, that was just very, very special. And on top of that, the scenery was just absolutely beautiful. I think it was the first time in 15 years that I had a chance to actually take in planet earth. Like we're always hustle, bustle, moving, doing work, answering emails, taking phone calls,

going places. It was so cool to like sit there and go, wow, this is a really beautiful country. And this was so cool and beautiful people. Like, it was just a really, it was a really, surreal experience. We took in a lot in four days, man. Yeah. Well, don't share too much because we still have plenty of share.

Maybe more when it's the more positive. Yeah, not on the lunchbox a bit that we're hiding. Yeah, the whole fame thing. Like that was like, come on. It's ridiculous. Yes, yes. But I will make the comment based on you talking about how it made you guys feel and just feeling the repercussions of that, being a digital director,

we've watched how good news has changed the momentum online, like that's what goes viral. It's stuff that's funny. It's stuff that makes you laugh and it's stuff that makes you smile or make you cry for a good reason. You guys were part of that and that's why it did what it did. That's why it succeeded in so many ways because it was genuine, it was real. And that's what counts. That's what does movements online. That's what goes viral for a good reason because you're making somebody feel good. That's all that counts. Yeah. Yeah. So I credit both of you guys too Before we really dive into this

Like above and beyond everything else I even texted Eddie it I was like I have never seen our social media so positive And I am so thankful for it I love that text by the way Like it really was because to take something That can be so down so much of the time And see what it can do

On such a big level with what you guys did And I got to see it all firsthand on social media was a really cool part of that to just be like, hey, you literally changed our social media. If not the whole time, at least for a week. Oh, thanks, Morgan. That's really cool. And that's awesome. And that's credit to both of y'all.

Thank you. Don't cry. I'm about to. I know. Let me check Facebook. No, they're back to negative. Exactly. And we're back to a negative segment.

Here, you guys can hear lunchbox, you know, throw fit. Number seven. Why are you upset at Shaquille O'Neal now? Because he goes. and he buys a laptop for this mom. She was in the store trying to buy one for her son. He's like, here, $1,500, nothing for me. And he pays for it.

And you guys always say these aren't set up. He is talking about these, so everyone will give him praise. And that's what I try to do, and no one picks it up. No one talks about it. It's just crazy to me that they're all set up. So you're not upset at Killingil for doing something good for somebody else. You're upset mostly that people aren't praising you for something that you're really not doing. Well, I do things.

Like, I donate $20 a month to St. Jude. Do they do a new story on that? No. That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't understand. And everybody says that these Shaq ones aren't set up like the ring. He had someone film it and put it out there to make him look like the nice guy. Shaquille O'Neill NBA legend, four-time NBA champion and roving do-gooder is underreporting good deeds.

It says the former Los Angeles Laker and Miami Heat Star said that he goes into stores looking to help mothers who need it. On one occasion, O'Neill says he purchased a computer for a mom who couldn't afford school laptops for her kids. He walked in. He said, hey, I saw her. She was struggling with the purchase that I got you. $500 and anything to me, but it could change your life. Why is that bad? Because you guys say you're not supposed to brag about it.

This is all he's doing. He's bragging about it so everyone will tell Shaq how good he is. I don't think you... Listen, if you want to brag about it, brag about it as long as you do it. As long as you're talking about it, you got to be about it. He's doing that. So why does that bother you? Why don't you just go out and do stuff?

I do. I do go out and do stuff. Pets smart. Every time I pick up dog food, $2 to the charitable pet mart to help homeless pets. $20 a month to St. Jude. I'm a partner in, oh, let's go. Put it up on a billboard.

Come on. What else you got? I do kid power. I donate to them every month. I mean, that's what I'm saying that? Oh, and what else do I do? That's three. Meals on Wheels, $15 a month.

I mean, look at me. I'm like a, what do you call it? Chip. what do he call those philanthropist Philanthropist Isn't that what they're called? Yeah

Yeah So I mean But we don't talk about it We act like Oh all these other people Are doing great things I mean why does this make the news But you do those things only

I know yesterday it bothered you And Eddie finished that walk Yes You wanted him to fail Wanted him to fail So bad Like I would tell my wife at night Like tonight's the night

He's gonna tap out tonight He's gonna get to that hotel And say I can't go on You would have that talk with your wife? Yeah. I think you need some sort of therapy for this. For what? To talk to somebody. Because I think you're putting a lot of your worth into everyone else's praise of you for being a good guy. Just go be a good guy.

Yeah, and what other people do shouldn't. Well, then why don't they just go be a good guy? But he's looking for the praise too and we give it to him. But he's doing it, right? I have no problem. If you want to do something good for somebody and then talk about it, great. As long as you do something good for somebody, all good. And then also because he is high profile, it can encourage other people to maybe do something similar. And it will get a lot of clicks because it's chat. Yeah. And it's like, oh, wow, maybe I could go help, you know, a mom get something for kids. Maybe not everybody

can do a computer, but they can do something small, their part, their way to give back. And you do yours. Check, check, I'm high profile also. A little bit different than Shaquille O'Neal, but yeah. Yeah, I would say you're, in just us as a show, we're pretty high profile. Low. No way. No way.

Low to low mid. Have you checked that radio lunchbox on Instagram lately? Woo! Numbers are flying. Okay. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. We've had so many cool moments on the show lately. And before Eddie's big walk, we had Army Sergeant Jerry Majetic on because we were building him a home with the help of building homes for heroes. You know, we had a whole new Pimp and Joy patriotic line.

And you guys seriously showed up and bought that. So this week we called him and his wife and gave them the... total donation number and all of that money going to help build them a home that can finally work for their family. So just another really good moment that I want you guys to enjoy listening to again because this was so cool. Number six. Very excited to get back on the phone. Army Staff Sergeant Jerry Majetic and his wife, Mariela, who we talked to a couple of weeks ago. We learned a story.

And by the way, I think they're on now. Sergeant Majetic, how are you? I am doing very well. Thank you, sir. Hey, doing pretty good, again, an honor to talk to you, and just to let our listeners know his story briefly before we give you the update here. So he served 20 years, including a Stint the Marine Corps before being on and only discharged, while riding in a convoy.

What was crazy to me was because of your job, Sergeant Majetic, where you were basically someone who went into these areas in these countries and formed relationships with people. Am I right about that? Because of that job they targeted you? Yes, yes, absolutely. What exactly was your job called? Psychological operations.

That was a tactical team leader. And so while riding in a convoy, his vehicle was struck by an IED, severe injuries, burns on more than one third of his body, over 80 surgeries. And we talked about it and we said, hey, if you guys want to help out Sergeant Majetic, we're going to put our Pimp and Joy lineup at Bobby Bones.com. It's a 4th of July themed, a whole set of clothes. So the update is Sergeant Majetic. We've teamed up with Building Homes for Heroes,

and as of this moment right now, we have raised $137,000 to build so far to build you a home. Mariela, I know you're on the phone, too. Can you hear me? Yes, I can. When I say that number, $137,000 to build you guys a home, that's so far. How does that make you feel? A lot of emotions about that. I think that, you know, we've taught our children to work for everything that they've received.

So for to hear that so many Americans are spending their hard-earned money. towards us or a home. It's incredibly emotional. Well, I would say that you guys have worked for this. I mean, you, Sergeant Majetic, you went and you served our country. You were targeted for doing the right thing. And I hope that you guys feel as a unit, as a married couple, that you're getting what, you're not even getting what you deserve, honestly. I don't think we can ever repay you for the service that you've done for this country.

So, you know, as you say that, I hope you feel that way and know that, We on this show, meaning the people in this room and our listeners that listen to the show, feel like it's our duty to make sure you're taking care of. So we are very excited to update you with that and to let our listeners know that if you order by June 24th of Bobbybones.com, you can get it in time for the 4th of July. So Mariela, Sergeant Majetic, this was just a quick update call to tell you that we're working in your honor. We're excited.

We are privileged to be doing so. And we just wanted you to know that we're still here supporting you. And, you know, we're rooting for you. Thank you so much. You know, I'm honored to have served our nation and the grateful, you know, the gracious people of America. So thank you. To the B team out there, you got another couple days to get in on this. $137,000 right now.

Listen, I'd be happy if we reached a million. I'll be honest. We're on our way there. That's going to happen. We're going to a million. But all seriousness, thank you for serving. This was an update we wanted to give you ourselves because we're just so proud to be involved. And we cannot wait for you to get this home that has made.

specifically for you and your needs. So Sergeant Majetic, Mariela, thank you for your few minutes this morning. Thank you so much. Thanks for the update. All right. There they are. There's an update. Let's do it. Let's write that money, though. Let's get a little bit more. Go to bobbybones.com and order your any Pimp and Joy stuff goes to this. Yeah, all Pimp and Joy, not just patriotic and red, white, and blue, but what's special about getting it in time for Fourth of July is you'll, you're probably going to be doing something and you'll be able to wear something that is really representing an American hero and helping him out and it can be a conversation starter and you can maybe tell your friends and family that you're barbecuing with that day like hey this shirt or this hat went towards

army sergeant jerrymogenic and this is his story and then that way it's just it's not lost on what we're actually celebrating in the freedoms that we have love it you guys get on it great to talk to them it's the best bits of the week with morgan number two it's officially summertime, and Bobby helped us kick that off by sharing his top five country songs of the summer, which were all fantastic songs. All upby, all great jams for the summer. And Eddie, you weren't really here in the studio for this, but I'll just tell you the five artists that were on it. Okay.

All right. Sam Hunt. Of course. Jordan Davis. Nice. L. King and Miranda Lambert. Oh, that's a jam. Jamison Rogers and Luke Combs.

Oh, yeah, yeah. And then who do you think is the fifth one that I'm. about to tell you. Oh, I already know. Walker Hayes. Oh. Did he not make it? No, but no.

It's not him. Are you ready? Yeah. Old Dominion. Oh, of course. I was on a boat that day. Oh, yeah. Well, Eddie gave her way the song too, so now you know that one.

Well, you said Old Dominion. What else would it be? I know. Well, those five made his list, but I want to know your song in the summer. His was country because Billboard already came out with theirs and it was, you know, peaches and all the things that we all know. That peaches would be really nice. Yes.

But I want to know your song, any genre of the summer. Okay, I'm going to go with watermelon sugar, but not just the Harry Styles version. I think it's the TikTok version. I think it's watermelon sugar or something seaside. I don't know. Wait, wait. Is it this one? Is it the watermelon sugar?

Hi. Watermelon sugar. Hi. No. No. No. No. No.

No. How is this the song in the summer? Oh, I did a TikTok for that. I mean, I just assumed that's the one it was. No, it's the one that goes like watermelon sugar and then hi, do you want to seaside? Okay, I think I got a clue about that. Ray, you have that one? That's it.

Woo! I don't listen to that. Can you imagine being on the boat? I'll tell you it's a jam, but because of TikTok, I can't listen to this because it's all these like hot people being like, hi, do you want to be mine? I know, I know. But that's how I heard it first. And then after that, I found it somewhere like on a streaming thing.

I'm like, I'm just going to play that over and over. Is it? Somebody else that kind of put their song with Harry Styles? I think it's like, you know, when people sample a song, it's kind of like that. Okay. I don't know what the band is, but it's, it's watermelon sugar seaside, I believe. Hi. Baby, do you want to be mine?

Z side. Yeah. This is my jam right now. It is. It's a really good mashup. Like there are some really cool mashups out there, and that's definitely one of them. You like the other one, the watermelon sugar. Hi.

Oh, yeah. Well, I did it. I did a TikTok to it with my dog. Hi. Oh, stop. Hi. I mean, it's funny. It makes you laugh, right? No, but my, that's not my song of the summer, though. That's pretty funny. No, keep it. That's yours. They're all watermelon sugar.

No, mine, I am so obsessed with the group surfaces. Like, they're really awesome. I feel good. Like I should. They have so many good jams, but they have a newer-ish one called Wave of You. All right. Got up in the way I feel about you. I don't know how I can be so.

Right? It's just everything they put out is like this upbeat jam. Where's my phone? Adding it right now. Add it. I have to. It's so good. I'll tell you, like, I really love listening to this playlist called Just Good Music. And it's literally all like this upbeat, just happy vibe music.

And that's where I find all of my favorite songs. Did you say surfaces has other really good? I haven't looked into the band just the Sunday's best song. Oh, yeah, no. They have, here. Oh, I could give you like a few of their top hits that you've probably heard. Okay. So Wave of You is my favorite.

Sunday best is another one. 24-7, 365? Yeah, take it easy. I'm telling you this whole, like this really whole band, their whole, even they're like. Take it easy. I see it. All right. I'm adding all these songs right now, I'm too.

Just make sure you listen to them first because they're, you know, they're all over the place with their vibes. Like even their icons and stuff are all bright colors. Like they're just this very like upbeat positive jams. And that's part of that like pop genre too. But yeah, that's my favorite. I like it. Sure.

All right. What is one song that's like new? And we were talking about this a little bit that really just hit the summer scene. And you and I both said it. And it was fancy like by Walker Hayes. And you two did a TikTok with lunchbox on that. Yeah, which is like going viral. I showed you that too.

I was like, I don't know why. I don't know what happened. But it's because Walker Hayes' song went viral. I mean, he went viral, like wildly. Let me ask you about that. So when you decide to do a dance with Lunchbox, is there already a dance to that song or do you choreograph it? No, there's already a dance.

Are you ever going to choreograph one? I've attempted, but there's so much work that goes into that. Yeah, I would imagine. I'm like, I don't want to do this for like six hours trying to put this together. That sounds like so much work. And I have a lot better things I should be doing with my time. But what if in your mind you're like, what kind of moves can I make lunchbox look really stupid in? Oh, I could.

Well, and here's the thing. I was a dancer when I was a kid. There you go. I was a cheerleader for most of my life. So, like, I know how to do routines and put things together. And I could make lunchbox, like, have the best time with a cheer move. You choreographed it in the way where you're going to look really cool, but lunchbox is going to look like a complete. And he does mostly.

And he does that already with these choreographs. But you have a choice. You have a chance. to choreograph it originally. I know. And I have, you know, maybe over time I will, like, take like 30 minutes a day to work on something. Yeah.

But again, I'm, this is diamond art you made me do? Like, I already didn't have time in my life to do that, let alone. It looks so good, by the way. Oh, yeah. You weren't here when we got to do, like, the big reveal. So I showed Eddie in studio the diamond art that he made me do based off of, like, his favorite hobby. I was proud.

I was really proud. Yes. I'm impressed more than proud. Like, I'm impressed that you finished. that in one week. Well, we did a live too, which was a really fun. We got hit up about that live. We did together on Instagram. Everybody loved it. That was great, by the way. Thank you. We, no. It was so, we talked for like 45 minutes. We did. And I was terrible because, like, I lost you and that was it. Like, it had to end that way. He may come back, but I'm not really

sure. We waited for like five minutes and I was like, yeah, guys, he's not coming back. We couldn't come back. But we had talked about, like, the diamond art. And I was like, you couldn't have told me that there was like a four by four one that I could have done. I had no idea. Somebody posted a picture of like a butterfly with only like 100 beads. I'm like that would have been better for Morgan number two. Yeah. This is what easily. Oh, 10,000 beads. Some huge number. All I'm telling you is we were supposed to do these hobbies for 20 minutes a day, right? No, no, this takes you a long time. Yes, yes, 20 minutes a day. I think I spent 20 hours on it. I know, I know. It's time consuming. But that's why it's so therapeutic. Well, and I had made the commitment

it during the show. Bobby was like, is Morgan going to finish it? I was like, well, now I have to finish it. Yeah. I had too much like I could. He tends to do that. And I couldn't not. Like, for example, when we started walking. He tends to do that. You need to be faster. Okay. And you're like, wait, what? What do I have to do? Thank you. Yeah.

I got to be done by Wednesday early? Okay, great. Yeah, it's like this pressure and you're like, dang, I got to do it. Yeah, so I spent like six hours Sunday night until like 1 a.m. Right before work finishing it. Question. Are you finding little diamond beads in weird places of your house? I found them in my clothes.

Yeah. Yeah, they end up in weird places. Because they're teeny tiny. You're like, huh. There's the weird shade of blue I was looking for. Yes, they're everywhere. Yeah, and they have all these little containers my wife bought me where you can organize them too.

It's pretty cool. So do you have your kids do them with you? No, they don't. It's just you. No, it's just me. Your kids don't have the patience for it? No. There was one I did of like shrewd.

Is he a character shrewd from shrew? Shrew? Oh, I am shrew. From up? No, no. Guardians of the guy. I am Groot. Groot.

True. Sorry. I am Groot. Yeah, he just did Groot a very sad injustice. I had no idea who he was. Grute, I'm so sorry. And I think the first diamond art I ever did was Groot because my son had gotten it for like, I don't know, some birthday gift.

And he didn't want to do it. So I started doing Groot. Had no idea who Groot was, but I fell in love with a diamond art. And so I'd have my son, my 13 year old help me with it. He probably did about 30 minutes worth of work. I did the entire thing. I am Groot. I do feel like it's very tedious, but I do love that that hobby started based on a gift that was given to your son and you basically took it from him.

And he hated it. And it sounds about accurate. That really does. Oh my gosh. But I don't even, we went on a diamond hobby, but we never got to talk about it because you weren't here. There's so many things that like, despite you being gone all week doing. this really awesome walk. Like, I feel like you missed out on so much because you were in studio. I did some of the best times on the walk, too, was listening to the show in the mornings.

Do you ever listen to the show when you're not, like, away from it and you're not on a walk, obviously? Yeah. I don't think I've ever missed a show that I'm not in the studio for, because it's almost like your friend's going on a trip and you have a chance to be there with them. You have FOMO. For sure. Like, there's nothing worse than coming back after a day off or two days. and coming back to the show and you guys are like oh man remember that time Bobby Bobby did this that time lunchbox did that and I'm like no I don't remember that I remember early early on in the show

I was I think my son was being born and I had to be in the hospital for two days and I'm listening to the podcast or the live stream and Ed Sheeran was in the studio and I was like this this sucks I mean it's cool my son's being born but like the day that I'm not there Ed Shearin's on but I had to listen. Hey which son was this? Can I make sure he knows? My son? Which son was it? Junior Junior my seven year old. Sorry junior

I know. Dad wanted to be with Eddie, Ed Shearren. Eddie Shearren. At Eddie, Ed. But I mean, it's that kind of thing where, like, you don't want to miss out on what they're doing. And if you don't know what bits they did or what they talked about, you're just completely lost when you get back. You can. And you did get a little day off too. Like, I say a little day off. You got one day off. Scoba Steve came right back in. No, Scova Steve came into work as soon as we drove back into town. Yeah, my wife was like, you should just go to the office and do some stuff. And I was like, I mean, I should, but I really do not want to. And I was like, oh, I don't have my key card. I can't get in. And he goes, I've got my key card.

I whispered. I whispered my key card. Yeah, I heard it. Just in case. Yep. And I was like, well, she may have heard it. So I have to say, oh, yeah, Eddie's got his key card. Oh, thank you so much, Eddie.

So I was here at work around 330 on, was it Wednesday? Yeah, Wednesday. Wednesday. And I was here for about a couple hours trying to catch up. and yeah, I came to work. And in the next day. He's a hard working dude. He was also doing emails on the road, which is okay.

I can say that because you're only going one mile per hour. Yeah, there was no traffic. No traffic. But I did the intensive and really big emails when we were pulled over or you were like stretching or getting gas, that kind of stuff. I ain't given him a hard time. He sat in a car for that long and going one mile an hour. I would be like, I'm on my phone.

Leave me alone. Listen to this. I'd pay attention though. I really did. I know, but still. Like even the times that you were on your phone, no, no hate. No, anybody come at you for that. When we got into town back into Nashville, it was like 5 o'clock traffic or 4 o'clock.

And so we're going from 70 again back to like one mile per hour. And Steve's like, oh, I hate traffic. I'm like, how are you complaining about this? What are you been doing the last four days? He's like, actually, you're right. This does feel normal. Now you're like not used to driving 70 miles an hour. You're like, what does this do?

Yeah, it was really weird going when we'd speed up. I'm like, this is so weird feeling. Yeah. Oh gosh. Okay, well, we still have so much to talk about on that. We keep going back to it because it's just been such a big part of this week. But before we get to that part, we still have a few more best bits to get through. And right now, I want you all to listen to Bobby's top five songs of the summer. And make sure you add Eddie and I's songs of the summer to your playlist because they're really good.

Number five. I did make a list. Natalia, I made the list because I saw Billboard put out their songs of the summer list. Here's Billboard's top five songs of the summer. See how many of these you know. Okay. And then I'll give you my list. This is Billboard's list.

At number five, Leave the Door Open by Silk Sonic, which is Bruno Mars and Anderson Pock. Go ahead. I don't know it. It's a big one. Okay. Morgan, you know this one, right?

Oh, yeah. Bruno Mars? There's even like 10,000 dance versions to this, too. Yeah. It's supposed to be a slow song, but it's like, mm-mmz, yeah, it's a good one. Number four, Justin Bieber Peaches.

I got my peaches out in Georgia. Yes, I listen to this like every day. Number three, do Aleepa's levitating. Number two, Olivia Rodriguez, good for you. And the number one song of summer by Billboard is BTS Butter. That is a good song. A lot of their music I didn't quite get because they weren't singing in English. But that butter song is good.

Morgan, do you like BTS? Yeah, I do. As a group? Yes, this song in Dynamite turned me on to them and I can't stop listening now. I was always like, you know, I don't listen to any traditional Mexican music, because I don't know what they're saying. It's hard for me to listen to Korean pop music because I didn't know what they were saying in the words. I don't want to be dancing along and the song's like, hey, if you're a white gal glasses, you're a real idiot. You know, stuff like that.

But that's a good one. All right, but I've put together my top five songs of the summer in country music. At number five, El King and Miranda Lambert drunk and I don't want to go home. Number four, James and Rogers and Luke Combs. Cold beer calling my name. A good time coming, got a new song. James and Rogers guy is such a good singer. I mean, he comes in here and he walks in.

He looks like a generic country singer and you're like, all right, here's another one of these kind of broie guys. But it's just the opposite of that. So good. Such a good writer. Number three, Old Dominion. I was on a boat that day. When they came in, they played that song, that's when it convinced me.

I'd heard it on the radio. I was like, that's pretty good. But they played it live. I was like, dang, that is a jam. So good. Number two, Jordan Davis, Almost Maybes. And the number one song of summer, according to me and country music, is Sam Hunt, breaking up was easy in the 90s. Ray, I saw you like smile when I said his name.

I mean, you were so in love with Sam Hunt. Yeah, I would have put him at my number one, but that was cool that you did the same. Yeah. Y'all have that in comment. That song's definitely top three for me, for sure. Top three of the summer or of your life? No, of my life, of all of his songs. Two and three are Sam Hunt as well.

You mean of all songs or all Sam Hunt songs? All songs of your life. Yeah, Sam Hunt made seven of the ten, and three of them were like some other country artists. That's a top song of your life. Yeah, it's top three. Oh, there you have. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

For weeks, we've been hearing about Amy in the Cat Gate situation. She's most likely been scammed. She's been really trying to get a cat for her daughter and her family. That really fits for them. And, well, it just hasn't been going very well. And she got her deposit check back from them. But all of the listeners wrote in were like,

don't deposit that check. It could be a scam. They could be taking all your money. So Amy went and she got this check, checked out. We found out if it's legit. And it was a whole thing. But I don't want to give you any of those, like, spoilers. You know?

that's just the lay of the land. But I want to know, Eddie, have you ever been scammed, like, big time? I almost got scammed. I don't think I've ever, ever gotten scammed to her. Like, I'm like, ooh, that's it. I'm trouble. Nothing like that. But the one time we almost got really scammed was when we were moving to Nashville.

We were still in Texas and we were trying to find a place. My wife and I were trying to find a place to move here. And we found a house. And it was a great house. Like, the space was good. The neighborhood apparently was great. We'd never been here, but the neighborhood was amazing and the price was really cheap. And so, and it was on one of those websites like, not Zillow or one of the, but it was like

some kind of real estate website in Nashville. And so we email them and say, we're really interested in this house. It's for rent. And please put us on the list like we want to get this house. And then we get an email back that says, no problem. The owner is currently in another country. I forget it was like Ireland or something. He lives over there in the summers or whatever.

winners. And so he would like to request a deposit first and then we'll get you situated and all that. And then we'll go from there. The deposit first didn't like throw you off at all? Yeah. That's when I was like, what do you mean? Deposit first. And they're like just mail it on over here or just put it to this routing number and we'll be ready to go. And so I talked to my wife. I'm like, should we do this? Like I don't know if we should do this. And so then she called the real estate company, no longer email. And, and they answered. And they're like, no, that house is not for rent. And I actually know exactly what house you're talking about.

And someone lives there now. What? Yeah. So then we backed off obviously. But we thought at one point we were really thinking about like sending that check and getting that house. How much would that check have been? It was only like, you know, whatever the rent was, which I think at that point or or it was like, I believe, 1,100 or 1,200 or 1200. Okay.

But that's still a lot of money to get scammed out of. Yeah. Big time. Wow. Mm-hmm. Yeah. But to them. If they did that 10 times, it's like bank.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm sure a lot of people fall for that. Yeah. But if you're ever trying to buy something and, like, don't have proof of something first before sending a check deposit, that is where you know, like, things are not going well. That's just a really, like, red flag. You know how there's red flags in dating? Yes.

That's a red flag in scams. That would be correct. Yes. Have you gotten scammed? No. No, I really haven't. That's weird. But that's also because I'm really good at technology.

and I can figure things out. I was going to say, in the world of technology that you're in, like your age and you're, and what you millennials go through. Like, I feel like everything you do is electronic.

Everything you do is direct through the internet. And so that's where they get you. I mean, they're not going to get you from like the mailman stealing your check. Well, I do get random things in the mail. They're like, oh, you can apply to have this coverage on whatever.

I'm like, and for like the first 10, I was like, mom, no, I need this. And she's like, No, it's a scam.

I was like, mom, do I need this? Like 10 times over. She's like, Morgan, if it is not legit and they are offering to pay you something, it is not legit. And I'm like, okay. So I did have a lot of those where I had to, like the actual mail. This is when you were like first out of the house. Yeah, this is when I bought my house and they were sending me things for coverage on mine.

I was like, I don't understand this. And it was all becoming my mail. So I don't know how to read the mail that way. I know how to read an email for a junk mail. a mail coming in my mail and like it says urgent on it like i don't know what that means but there was a time back when snapchat was huge right and i was still it was like i mean it was like three years ago maybe it wasn't a long time ago i got a text you know how now there's which is such so cool about like apps is that there's security codes to make sure that you can verify it to you yes

snapchat had that i got such a legit text from a snap Snapchat person that said, we need to verify this is you logging in. And it looked like a Snapchat account? Yes. Just like you would get a text message to say, hey, here's your code to sign in. But the trick was, like, it looked legit. And had anybody else gotten that text, they wouldn't have figured it out. The only reason I figured it out is because I'm like, hmm, the only reason I would have gotten

this is if I logged in. I didn't log in. I don't even use my Snapchat account anymore. And I like fired back and I was like, who are you? They sent it again. And I was like, the same message. And I was like, I know this is a scam. Leave me alone.

And they responded back a question mark. Like, uh, yeah. And then it just stopped. Yeah. And Snapchat would not talk that way. No. They would say, they would be like if this is, and they even tried to be like, well, if this is not you, then enter your password here. I'm like, I'm not entering my password anywhere.

I'm already questioning this. Yeah. So a lot of people try, and I will say, like, they're so good at it now that, like, I see how people fall for it. Oh, yeah. The one that's been scaring me lately, and I don't know, it's probably nothing, but there's a guy in Modesto, California that has my email. And I think that he uses it to, like, I don't know, join the Best Buy Club and, like, tell his doctor that. Like, he's the same person as you, or he's. He gives them to his doctor's office in all these places.

So all these Modesto companies and like Modesto doctors are like, hey, don't forget you have an appointment today. And I'm like, that's not me. Like, I don't know. What? Whoever's giving you my email? That's not me. Do you think it's somebody with your name? Probably.

And they think that's their email address. Buddy, like, you should know that's not your email address because it's not your email address. Okay, but it could be a really elderly man. Could be. And he's like, Eddie Garcia. Well, then I'm going to start, like, respond to those emails saying like, I can't make my appointment. Or let me make a new appointment. It's just weird.

And I was really scared at first because it would tell me like, hey, your Netflix account's expiring. And I'm like, what, what, what? And I would look like, no, it's not expiring. Weird. But he would be using that. Do you have like a number on yours? Yes. That's why I'm telling you.

What do you mean? Like if your email has a number on it? Your name is, it's not super like unique. And that it could be somebody else. that has that at least one other person in the world that has that name? One other person in the world has my name. My name? Yeah.

I'm sure five million people have my name. That's what I'm saying. It's super common. Yeah, I got you. So like, it wouldn't surprise me if somebody with your same name genuinely thinks that's our email. But they would know that their number is 17942 and not my number. But it could be like their family set him up with everything and he thinks this is his email. And he keeps using it.

He uses it. He's not the one who's getting the emails anyway. Exactly. Your boy is. But like he's not, it's not even on his computer. He probably doesn't even have like a laptop. But when he signs up for things, he puts that email down. Yeah.

And then he has no idea that he's not actually getting the other side of it. Honestly, I think it's harmless. I really do because nothing's happened. But I get all his emails all the time. This poor man. Hey, Eddie Garcia out in Modesto, California. You got the wrong email, buddy. Yeah.

Oh my God. Well, there was another side to this too that I wanted to ask you because. I know I have like a few very funny like stories, but she's trying to get a pet for her family, a cat, amused. Did you like cats and dogs? Yes. But did you ever have any other kinds of animals growing up? Yeah.

Okay. My favorite in the whole wide world. I have one right now. I have a leopard gecko. Oh yeah, which are cool. No, they're not cool. Why are they not cool? I mean, it's a gecko.

Like I don't want it. And it has a face like a snake. Look, if there's anyone in the house that loves him, it's me. Like in my son, my 13-year-old. year old wanted it for Christmas like three years ago where I said no five million times but as you've learned in my household my no means nothing so eventually we got the leopard gecko and three years later I'm the one that always ends up going into my kids room and saying hey little buddy do you need more water and there goes dad getting them more water because my kids always forget to give him water and I'm

like oh my gosh why am I always taking care of the leopard gecko and the leopard gecko now bites all of them does not bite me. Oh, does this bite hurt? They say it does. He doesn't bite me. I can literally put him up to my nose and he won't bite me. Yeah, that's because you're giving him food and water. He loves me.

I give him the worms and I give him the water. Gross, you have to give him worms. Oh, live worms. Oh, live worms. And it's so cool to watch him. He thinks, and he's not very smart. Because, like, I put him in a bowl and there's about 10 to 15 worms in there. And he slowly creeps up to the worms like they're going to go somewhere.

They're in a bowl. And he like eyes them and then the tongue comes out and grabs them fast and then he runs back to another corner. I'm like, buddy, they're in a bowl. They're not going anywhere. I think that's a lizard thing. Like the camouflage and the moving fast. It's like a protective thing. Yes.

I'll see little lizards come up on my wall at my home. They turn into that color. Yeah. Well, these ones don't. They're not the camouflage lizards, but I'll see them. And as soon as they see me, the zirgon. Yeah. I'm like, did I actually just see a lizard?

Because I'm not really sure. I can be going crazy. Yeah. They move so fast. They do. Like their little legs. They do. But the cool thing about geckos is that their tails, that regeneration of their tails.

Okay. So that's funny. You bring that up. My gecko apparently lost his tail before we bought him. So now his tail is regred. This is a new tail that he has. And it's almost in the shape of his head. So it looks like he has two heads, except one is a real head and the other one's his tail.

So he has a little nub. Yes. That's a weird nuff. So the regeneration thing, the tail doesn't grow back exactly the way it was. Okay. So let's make it clear that people should not get geckos and do bad things to them and let them have their normal tales. But after talking about him for what, like five minutes, three minutes, I guess I do love him. I really do like the, I mean, I'm really the only one that like cares for him. So there's that.

But growing up, I had a ferret and she was my baby. So did we. You did? Yes. I didn't know this. Oh my God. Okay. Tell me about your ferret. My ferret. My ferret was Stimpy. And she was, we had her for 10 years. And then she died of pancreatic cancer. I mean, it was a terrible. terrible, terrible, terrible way to lose her. But I mean, she was so cool. When we first got her, she bit everyone. And because their teeth are so sharp. And they smell really bad.

And they smell terrible. But they're like cats. You have a litter box and they poop in the litter box. They pee in the litter box. And she was the best thing in the whole wide world. A couple of Stimpy stories. The first one is we had a, we were going away for the weekend. And so my dad was like, all right, make sure Stimpy's good.

And just put Stimpy away and whatever. We're all in the car waiting. And I thought it'd be a good idea to just leave Stimpy in my room and not in the cage. And so I put water out there and everything. And I left the cage cracked and I'm like, Stimpy, have a good weekend. Like, enjoy the room. So we go out of town, right? And then we come back Sunday night.

And my dad opens the door. All I hear is like, everybody back. Everybody back. And I'm like, what, what? And we're all like dropped our bags and like backed up, backed up. And he's like, somebody robbed the house. somebody burglarized we're like why why look at it it's a mess and I look

I peek in the house and there's planters toppled over there's soil from from like indoor plants that we have all over that there's toilet paper I mean up and down the halls there's clothes it's like it really looks like somebody came in and just like

threw everything on the floor and made a mess and then out of nowhere stimpy comes out running and like stops in the like looking at the front door and She sees this and goes, if she could talk, she would have gone, uh-oh. And then ran back to my room. Stimpy had a weekend in the house and like completely destroyed it. And she had to like soil all over her nose.

And pause. She had like a party or something. But they are such the coolest creatures though. The coolest. I love her. I love. She was my favorite pet in the whole wide world. And you had her for 10 years.

Had her for 10 years. Yes. And Stimpy also loved socks. Did yours like socks? I believe so. I'm going to be honest. So ours, our ferret was my oldest sisters. I had, I have three older sisters and it was her pet.

And I just, the only thing I really remember, I was really young at the time because this was when my oldest sister was in high school. So I couldn't have been more than four years old. Okay. So all I really remember of this ferret was just so how cool it was, how bad it smelled. And we had all of these little at the time. You know how there used to be those really like, they kind of look like they belong on a playground, but they're little stools, that little kids.

kids stand up on and they have little like going in and out of them. Oh yeah, sure. Yeah. We had like 20 of those out through the house so ours could like run it on a little play course. Yeah. Throughout our house. And those are the only memories I have of this. That's like a mansion for a ferret. Oh yeah. I mean, yeah. He lived his best life. It might have been a she. I don't even know. You have no clue. But I do very, I do very vividly remember the ferret. We had a bunny named Cuddles that we thought was a female its entire life. He was like, Brary, you're calling me Cuddles. Oh, yeah.

Until it passed away from testicular cancer. And then you're like, okay, cuddles is a boy. We're like, what, that is how we get sad. And we find out we had a boy buddy the whole time. You're like, come here, cuddles. It's Sam. I'm told me my name is Sam. Yeah.

My sister had convinced my parents to get that one from a fair, the Kansas State Fair, actually, that you guys have played back when they had animals that you could buy at the time. Or you can win, probably. Yeah, like, you know, we were not. Not old at all. We had that bunny for like, I don't know, 10 years. Wow, that's cool. A long time.

So another bunny. And then I got a, I got a, um, I had a tadpole that I was really excited about. Tadpole. Yeah, let me tell you about the tadpole. What? Okay. I had a tadpull that I got really excited about because I really wanted a frog. It turned into a frog and I never saw it again.

It hopped away. It went away. Wait, wait, wait, okay. As far as I know, all of these stories can be, my parents could have done things that I don't know about. Okay. I'm going to keep those stories in my head, though. Okay, wait.

So you got a tadpole and it was in a fish bowl, obviously, because it swims. Yeah, it's swimming. And then when did you see it morph into a frog? I never saw it. One day, I look in there, I was like, he's gone. I was like, where's my frog? I searched a whole house. Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Well, you never saw it turn into a frog. Never saw it turn into a frog. Oh, so then your parents threw it away, for sure. No. Flash down the toilet. No. No, for sure. 100%.

He was at the point, like, they gave you a timeline of when it would happen. Morgan, the fish at some point turns into a, Well, to be fair, I had a lot of beta fish growing up, and I did, we buried those in the backyard a lot. Did you ever fight them? Betta fit? No, I never made them fight. No, I didn't mean to make them fight. I bought a man, wait, I bought two males.

Didn't know I couldn't do that. And they fought. And they killed each other. One, one did. They battled, battle royale of the beta fish. One Mike Tyson, the other. Oh my God. This is so terrible.

Anyway, move on. Yeah, but normally people flush those down the toilet. You know what I did? I made my dad bury every single beta fish I ever had. You did not. You know what dog, but. That like the next day. To be fair, if they didn't, there's a tree in my old neighborhood that is a fish.

That's a bunch of dead data fish. That's funny. Oh, yeah. No, we, guinea pigs. I mean, everything. You had everything. Oh, yeah. My love for animals really started young.

My sister, my second oldest sister, Sarah, she got a tortoise. Oh, wow. The way, those are huge. Yeah, not a turtle. A tortoise. A tortoise. tortoise that grows like the ones at the zoo that are like 100 years old. Oh, like a rock, like a big boulder.

Huge. He got, I mean, he ended up getting to be pretty massive that he ended up living in their backyard. I mean, she had him from, gosh, the time that she was in high school to a few years ago when he passed away. Wow. Like, he lived for years. And he lived the best life with my sister.

I bet. Like, you know, lettuce, carrots, anything. You know, veggies, a lot of veggies. They're so cool looking. And we did have the tortoise and the hair at the same time. Oh, you had cuddles in the tortoises? Yeah, we tried to make him raise, but it did not go. It's a story.

I know, but it didn't have. Neither one of them wanted to. I'm sure if they would have, the hair would have won. Yes. So, yeah, we've really put my parents through the ringer with a lot of different animals. So when I was 12 or 13, I'd say 12 or 13, my dad bought a ranch. It was like a lifelong dream of his to buy a ranch about, I don't know, 45 minutes to an hour outside of our town. And we would go every single weekend because he wanted to build it into like a ranch.

You know, with like a nice gate and like good fences. Yellowstone style. It's not that big, but yes, that kind of quality of a ranch. That was his dream. He wanted to have, he wanted to be a rancher. And so one day we saw a mama deer get hit by a car. But the mama deer had a fawn by her. And so the mom of deer did not make it, but the fawn was just running around in circles. And so someone in the area had captured the baby and they said, would you mind just keeping it? And I'll come by and feed it while you guys are back in town Monday through Friday. But in the weekends, could you take care of the baby deer? And so we did.

So we would feed it milk. And, you know, when it got older, like we'd give him regular corn and whatever, like, um, uh, there would be like deer mix for like pet deer. Yeah. And so, and then we would get grass and they would just eat grass or whatever. But he would sleep with me. Like,

you had a deer sleep with you? On Saturday nights or whatever, I'd be like, come on little buddy like come in and I would sleep in the bed and he would sleep next to me. And it was just like, this is my little, this my little bud. Well,

I need to know what happened to this deer. So then he started growing horns and then he wanted to kill me. Yeah. I was going to say, was he a female or a boy. He's a boy. And his name was. Panchito.

Ponito? What does that stand for? Pancho, like little Pancho. Like, it's just little Pancho, whatever. Panchito. And then Pancito got, like, horns, and then nobody could get near him. Oh, yeah. So we had to, even, our ranch was game fenced.

So we knew that he was never going to get out and be in danger because you can't really put a pet deer back in the wild. Yeah, they don't survive. So Panchito, like, still stayed in our ranch and got big. Huge. Great rack. Like, he had, he was a beautiful deer. And he grew up to be a really beautiful deer. And then at some point, we just kind of like never saw him because the ranch eventually you could go to different areas.

And I think he acclimated and lived his life. Yes, we're going to keep it out way because if you give me a sad, I'm going to be so sad. But that's the thing. I don't think that he did it. I mean, we would see him once in a while. And I knew it was him because that was my dude. And then sometimes I just wouldn't see him. And then my dad ended up selling the ranch and we never saw him again.

This is like the grown up version of Bambi. Yeah. Oh, it is. But like he lives. But Bambi stayed with other animals. I know. This is a grown up modern version of Bambi. Yeah.

That was pretty cool. I'm so jealous. It was pretty cool. And they're like, just have a little pet deer. And he was so cool. I can like pet him and feed him. And he would just kind of scratch his head.

And it was really cool. I always wondered how that happened. Because on TikTok, there's people that have pet dears. And I'm like, how? Deers are crazy. Unfortunately,

it's like that. Whenever, like, they just kind of abandoned or something bad happens to mama. Oh my gosh. Eddie had a pet deer. I'm going to end this conversation on that because there is no story that's going to beat that. His name was panchito. Panchito or banchito?

Panchito with a pee. No, I pronounce it like panchito. Panchito. Yeah, not panchito. This sounds a lot similar to how the conversation with Mike D's parents with where they were telling me all these different definitions of things and they were making fun of me because I could not pronounce them. Like they're like different names. No, no.

Because you guys are doing shots. No, like they were saying different things. And I was like, I'm not sure what that means. And then they were pronouncing. I'd try to reciprocate. And they would just laugh. Like, you're never going to get it. Just give up.

That's cute and all. Okay. Well, that was a great story to end this on. So in case you missed Amy giving us an update on her cat scam going on, here it is now. Number four. Well, the question is, from a lot of our listeners, did you ever go cash in that check from the cat scam? Yes, we took the check to the bank. So I do have an update.

Oh, you do. Okay. So let me reset it real quick. Long time ago, Amy said, we're going to get a cat for my daughter. She's highly allergic. So he found one that wasn't as allergenic or something. I don't know why you picked that cat,

but you picked a cat? Yeah. It's supposedly a hypoallergenic cat, Valinese. You send them money? They go, oh, sorry, your cat died. We can't send it to you. Yeah, like literally the cat that we were assigned died. So we get on the air and we're like,

all right, track these people down. We need this money back. then all of a sudden you get a check in the mail. Yeah, but I mean, like a long, long time had passed. So then I sort of think did they feel like somehow they got word that I think that's the girl on the radio that you're scamming. You better pay her back. Because, I mean, lawyers in Louisiana were hitting me up, like, we'll go after them. So the question is what happened.

Let's all make our guesses right now on foot. Eddie walking West Virginia to Tennessee. Eddie, what do you think happened when Amy took this check to the bank? The cashier got it. Try to put it through the machine and it went, uh-uh. Okay. Lunchbox? No good. Absolutely not a good check.

And Amy's emotions were, oh, I got a check to. Dang, I was getting scammed again. I think the check went through fine. I think they probably realized that they don't want to get caught because now they're on Front Street here. And they said, we better send her some money. Like, we're just going to be out this money. So that's everybody. Ray, what do you think happened?

Just like you, check went through. But there's maybe a two-day hold. So she hasn't got the money yet, but the check was accepted. Amy, you go to the bank. You have the check. Talk me through it. Well, we go. And I'm like, hey, anything suspicious about this check?

Like, what's going on? This looks like a normal check. Everything, you know, I don't even know if you do this with checks, but like, just like money, held it up to the light. Like, everything seemed so legit about this check. Like, I thought there wasn't a doubt in my mind that it wasn't going to go through. And, yeah, we gave it to the person and she ran it, and the money is safely in my account. Yeah.

Yeah. I think they knew they better give real money. So this saga would end on a national stage. I'm shocked. I know. I was a little shocked, too, because I had been worked up to think that it was a scam because so many listeners were sending me messages. Like, do not cash the check, which I'm glad I didn't just go, like, randomly deposit. Like, we took it in, and it was a whole thing. And I'm sure the bank thought I was a little crazy, but it was fine.

We got the money. So now we're just on the hunt for a new cat. And I got, I have the deposit back to make a new deposit. But, I mean, it's like impossible. Like, I don't know if these cats ever even really exist because, like, everyone I hit up online about it, I get, Nothing back. Your search for a Polanese cat. Bollonese.

Whatever it's called. It's like my search for like an old Ford Bronco that's not a total piece of crap. Yeah. Because we're like we're just kind of looking around for like a 68 to 73 Ford Bronco. And they're either all pieces of crap or they're just like a million dollars. Yeah. And you can't even, you can't find them. But then you see people online with them and you're like, how do you get that?

Well, what it is, I sent a deposit into this place. They were like, trust us. Yeah. And then they were like, It died. Like that's my favorite part. We were driving it to you and it died, man. Yes, because like it took them two weeks to reach back out to us

because we got an update that the kittens were born and everything was great. And we were going to get the cat soon. And then they emailed us and they were like, oh, the cat passed away. We're like, when? They're like two weeks ago. Well, what took you two weeks? And they go, because it's so sad. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

So the whole bit. of Eddie walking from West Virginia to Tennessee with Spons because Eddie made a comment about a George Strait song and a lyric in it that he was like, yeah, it just doesn't seem like a lot. You want to emphasize what that lyric was? Yes, it was, I'm carrying your love with me from West Virginia down to Tennessee. And in my mind, I'm thinking, like, that's just not that far. So, like, and this is the songwriting world. Hey, you can say whatever.

Like, you're writing a song. You can just say from Singapore down to Tennessee. Like and then be like wow you were gonna carry my love that far like wow you really love me But this dude saying like West Virginia down Tennessee like one state well and for somebody who doesn't take a lot of things very literally Eddie took this lyric literally I did and that's the whole reason he had to walk a whole thing that spun from this But while you guys were on the walk you admitted You realize that's not what the song actually means when you you're walking across a whole state or three states States, you're thinking a lot. And your mind just starts kind of like going. And I was singing like,

I'm carrying your love with me, West Virginia town, Tennessee. And I'm like, wow, Tennessee. And then I'm like, I'm going to Bristol, Tennessee, the birthplace of country music. And then Nashville, Tennessee. And I started thinking like, wait a second. What if, hey, this song may not be about a guy like walking all the way from West Virginia down to Tennessee to prove his love like I thought it was. Maybe it's like George Strait saying I'm a musician. I live in West Virginia, but I'm going to go follow my dream and go to Nashville and maybe become a country star all the way down to Tennessee. But baby, I love you. I'm going to be thinking about you the whole way and I'll be back.

Don't worry to come get you because I'm going to be carrying your love with me from West Virginia down Tennessee. And then in the middle of that I'm like, which means this whole walk that I'm doing is pointless. let's just end it and go home. Which is, why did I open my mouth in the first place? Because that's not even what it meant. Yeah, you had days to think about it. I think it was like day two.

You had the revelation. You're like, let's just cancel this whole thing. I'm like, I can't believe it. It makes no sense. So that was on day two of when this happened. Yeah, it was Monday. Yeah, he was like, I think I know what this is all about. And I was completely wrong about it.

Yeah. Which for people who, you know, just listen to show and know Eddie on the show, Eddie, like, behind the scenes is really like not a literal person, like you just don't literally believe certain things. Like what? Like what? You're just like, ah, that's not, you just, you mess around. Like somebody tells you something and you're like, yeah, whatever. You're just not very literal.

That's the best way I can explain it. That's just not your personality. Normally you're just very go with the flow. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I am. It is what it is. It's kind of my thing. Yes. So for you to take something so dramatically, literally, was not your personality.

But you got to understand, like, I was listening to George Strait. It was one night, and I was just listening to George Strait over and over. And I was, I've been listening to George Strait for years, but I don't listen. When I listen to music, I don't listen to a lot of lyrics and try to break down a song. But this night, for some weird reason, I was just kind of like focused on the lyric. And I'm like, this will be funny to talk about on the radio. Literally, this will be funny to talk about on the radio is all I thought. And then it turned into all that.

Yeah. And Scoob, at any point where you. you like when you were you guys were starting to plan this and do this walk where you're like does he like realize this is really not what this lyric means no for me I didn't really think anything of it I was just like for me as the programming and sales side of it I was like how can we make this happen because what I heard him mention that line I'm like I was like okay let's put up or shut up and so I immediately hit up Bobby and I was like hey what if we made Eddie do this walk what if what if he did the walk and then and we just did it and try it out be a radio a bit I don't know

how we're going to be able to do it but what do you think and he's like all right let's do it But never once that the lyrics crossed my mind. I was only thinking about how we can make this work and how we can make money for a charity. So, yeah, never thought about the lyrics. You immediately went into business mode. Business mode. As soon as I heard him say it, I was like, yes. Scoop is the make it happen guy, though.

Like, we're the ones like we talk about it. Oh, that'd be cool if we did that or whatever. Scoop is like, you want to do that? We'll make that happen. Yeah. No, it's not, it's not to make it happen. It's the hold you accountable is what Scoo is. That's true.

That's true, too. Like, he does both. He does both. But he's definitely like, I'm a hold you to do that. And you're like, dang, I wish I didn't say that. Yeah. And then I volunteered myself. And then I wasn't thinking much about it because I'm like, oh, it may never happen.

And then the week before. So here we are in this week. So last week, the anxiety set in of me having to leave my family and my kids and my wife with the baby and the toddler. And then I'm thinking about Eddie and his wife's got four kids. Like, just the anxiety set in. I'm like, well, we're doing this. I guess there's no turning back at this point.

The phone calls home were interesting because we would somewhat do it at the same time, You know, because we had breaks and we'd be like, all right, time to check in with the family. Yeah. And it was always the same thing where the wife would answer and be like, well, it's crazy over here. How's it going with you guys? Give me back my pops to go! Right. I just burned dinner.

How's it going on the walk? Yeah. I guess that's what you get when you get two dads that have to go and do a work bit. Yeah. I bet you guys might not ever want to do something like that again. Well, I mean, it was kind of nice sometimes. Yeah, there were some times it was pretty cool, especially when we stayed at the the Martha Washington in and in suites.

That was pretty rad. They had a hot tub, so we took advantage of that. Oh, so there was some fun, leisurely moments during this trip. When we finished day three and I knew I had 10 miles left in the last day, I was like, I'm getting a glass of one. Yep. And I'm going to sit in the hot tub and enjoy life for a little bit. But even while sitting in the hot tub, I have a video that I'm going to post later of.

Oh, gosh. So Rod, the big box. is literally, even Eddie had the line of like, you can tell who's the big boss here. Because Rod's chilling, sipping on a beer, and you got Gator scheduling music for IHeart Country. You got Eddie working on videos, and I'm over there catching up on emails and scheduling interviews and that kind of stuff. And the whole hot tub, we're just sitting there out with laptops. Not really relaxed at all. During our downtime, we were still working.

Yes. So there was never really downtime in a sense, except for when we slept for like three or four hours. And for Rod, there was always down. Oh, yeah. Well, Rod's job mostly consists of one. walking while he's on the phone. That's right. He does that in the hallways here. So what's the difference? I'm pretty sure he walks like 20 miles a day in the hallways. Yeah. Yeah. So, and that too, we'll touch on that a little bit too, that you just had a lot of,

lot of people with you guys. So, but before we get into that, you guys, you know, the moment of realization where he's like, that is not what this song was about. Number three. Everybody say good morning to producer Eddie. Good morning, Eddie. Good morning, Eddie. Morning, guys. How are you feeling this is it. This is the last day of the walk if you can do it. I feel like crap, but I do have a short walk in front of me. And how short is short? 10 miles.

Yeah, that's nothing. Yeah, that's easy. I never walk 10 miles in my life. I ran 10 miles once. It was miserable. In my mind, I'm telling myself, people do this at Disney World all the time, or six flags. Yeah. I guess that would be a full day of walking around. Yeah, except for

they probably normally haven't done 20 miles and 20 miles and 20 miles the day before. True. Well, today, Eddie, we're hoping you finish during the show. He's raising money for National Angels. We're not going to keep you too long. We know you're kind of on a busy spot there. But as you're going into the final day of walking, like, give me one word that has described the last four days. One word? Amazing. Wow.

This experience has been amazing. Like getting to walk America with your own feet, it's pretty amazing. Well, it's only one state out of 50, but still. Well, to be fair, it's kind of going to be three states. West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee. But you have walked all the way across Virginia. That's why it's amazing. And so now does he feel like the song is fitting? I'm carrying your love with me from West Virginia down to Tennessee.

He hasn't told you. He doesn't even think the song means that anymore. No. Tell Amy what you've come to think about this song. To Amy, as I'm walking, I think a lot. And I started thinking about the song. And I'm thinking like, all right, George is maybe a musician from West Virginia and he's moving to Nashville to start a career.

And he's leaving his love behind. So he's just telling her like, hey, I got to move to Tennessee, but I'm carrying your love with me, which makes my whole theory make no sense. And this is stupid. True. But now you've raised a lot of money for a good cause. So there you go.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. You guys could not get enough of this segment online. And I'm so ashamed to have to talk about it again. But I admitted that people. people online offer to send me money for feet photos. And you guys were eating it up on social media. I think I had so many people write me and like, why are you not selling your feet? It was getting blown up on social media.

Eddie, I know you missed this moment. But I heard it. And I heard it and I'm shocked that you did not take that money. Yeah, as are all the other guys and our listeners. I am shocked. If anybody want to picture my feet, call me right now. I'll sell it to you for whatever you want. Well, and we had so many comments on social media that were like, why is she not doing this?

It was a whole debate on our social media. And so this whole segment is something that I was like, oh, it's no big deal. Yeah, I'll share the story turned into this whole like momentum online of people like, let's sell feet photos. It also made me realize that you live in a weird world. I do. Like, I cannot believe you get offers like that. Oh, it's strange. I would have never thought that.

Never thought about feet? No, I would have never thought that you would be asked for that. Yeah. Neither did I. Like, that's crazy. Until I got the first one, I was like, what? And how many have you gotten? Oh, gosh.

At this point now, at least 100. What? What is wrong with people? Not for the 500. The 500 was, I think, two. No, no, no. Just a request for picture of your feet photos. At least 100, if not more than that.

All guys? I think from what I can assume, most of the time their profiles are private, but also in those. And no picture? No, a picture with their wife or something. spouse or something. So weird. That's what's strange to me. It's not there is some that are like solo dudes but it's the people that are

in like you can notice that they are in a relationship of some kind and you're like you want my what? Do you ask, do you reply to them at all? Okay so you just ignore it. So you never don't do this if you don't want but but and I know you won't

but if you ever do respond I mean just go Go to town and ask them questions because it's interesting to me. Like, what is it? What do you want to do with my foot picture? And I'll tell you, like, I don't know the person's name and I don't know who it was. And maybe at some point we can have Hillary shared the other side of this, but she was answering phones during that bit. And she hated me for it, by the way.

She was like, there are so many things happening right now that I cannot handle. And one of them was the fact that this guy called in to share why he had a foot fetish, why we shouldn't. fun of it all the things like all of the reason why we shouldn't make fun of it like just that we were even talking about the the topic of me being like disregarding it and being like no like I would never do that so he's coming from the angle of like this is a thing and you should not make fun of it because it's a it's a normal thing in his mind I think so like this is okay yeah it was a very interesting phone call that she got on earth so and he in you know he he he openly admitted it to her and she was like I don't really know how to handle it

So yeah, it's definitely out there. And I think it's more common than we think it is. And which is really funny because you know the TV show Sex and the City. I watched it like all the time growing up. But I recently started to re-bing it because it's on HBO Max. And there's an episode about a guy that has a foot fetish and he gives Charlotte one of the girls free shoes. If she'll just let him touch her feet and she does it and then she can't handle it because she's like, this is too weird. Well, I've heard of foot fetish, but I didn't know that that was like, I don't.

I just thought it was a term that people made up. It's funny. People are like really like feet. I want to say I was in high school when I first found out that this was a thing. We were on a vacation, my family, and I had painted toenails. And I had flip-flops on. You know, we're in a tropical place. And a guy was like flirting with me.

I mean, I'm in high school, right? Another high school age guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Similar age. Trying to get a understanding here. Probably a little bit older than me, but similar age. And he like couldn't stop looking at my feet. He's like, you have a really pretty toes.

And I was like, oh. And yeah, they're painted. That's a cool color. And he was like, no, they're like really special. And I was like, is this a thing? And he was like, yeah, I really like feet. If you had bad feet, it'd be a deal breaker. And I'm like, wait, what?

And that was my first introduction to people having feet like likes. Weird. Like likes. I guess I did know a friend of mine who would talk about girls' feet being a deal breaker. He would mention this kind of. like just kind of on the side like yeah man she was cool but man she just her feet were up to par yeah something i've never even considered in a dating scenario i've never been like oh he has bad feet i mean to be honest guys feet aren't that great my feet aren't that great their feet did bobby

talk about the because i just caught some of this bit did bobby talk about the NASCAR driver and amy no but people were commenting about how it had happened before yeah yes yeah okay so i'm not going to name who it is, but there was a NASCAR driver that when we met him, the first thing he said, he's looked at Amy's feet and said, oh, you have, I don't know, he mentions, I don't know what exactly it was, but he pointed to her feet and said a comment, like, you have a dominant toe or something, and that means this and that means that, you must be this kind of person based on your feet. And Amy's like, toes just start, like, like, tucked behind her other foot, like trying to hide them. It's very awkward.

It is. It's a very uncomfortable thing. Like even getting them online, I'm like, why are you looking at my feet? It's not like I'm just posting a picture of my feet. It's a full-blown photo. And the thing that you're zooming in on is my feet. And that's what they hate about it. They're like, I don't want to see the rest of your body. Just give me the feet.

Yes. It's a very, it's a very, like, strange thing. But people were up in arms online. One, that I did not pay my feet for $500. And two, that I just won't sell feet photos. It's not even, no, it's. After the segment, even you're not. even thinking about it?

No, because here's the thing. Like, sure, I can send him off and be like, you know, no big deal, do whatever. It's gone. But I can't because I know what's happening with those photos. What? Bad things that are not safe for work, okay? Yeah.

I know that that is not a good thing. And just the idea of that, like, makes me cringe. And I can't live with that. I'm too, like, I'm a very, like, one of my very big personality traits is, like I am by the book, by the law, like, I just am very, like, meticulous about that. And that feels like a, um, cringe worthy against the law for me for some reason. I get that. Even though there's nothing lawbreaking about it.

It breaks that barrier for me of being like, this is wrong. Like there's right and wrong. Hey, good for you. Good for you. That's great. Like, that's a good trait to have. And I'm glad you feel that way. I think just my initial reaction, because it's you, it's your body.

You do whatever you want with it. If you don't want to take pictures of your feet and sell it. But I think all guys, of course, we're all just like 100%. 100%. I think if I didn't have that personality trait, I could. And I could be like, here, whatever, I don't care. But because that's in me, I physically cannot think the other side of that. I have to.

Yeah. So. I wonder what supermodels think. You know, like every single. That's their job. And they've got to be thinking what you're thinking. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. You know what I mean?

That's crazy. Okay. Moving on. Okay. Well, you guys can listen to the bit where I, you know, talk about fee photos and how this all started. Number two. This girl, Katarina. She lives in New Hampshire.

She has five feet of hair. Oh, my gosh. That's long. It's a lot of hair. Yeah. And so people are offering her money, guys, mostly, weirdos, to touch it. Some people are offering her money to buy it to make it into wigs. but mostly it's creepo guys going,

I'll give you $100 if I can just come and touch your hair or smell your hair. Wow, that is crazy. She has over 100,000 followers on Instagram. And again, a lot of them want to give her money just to touch her hair. One businessman offer her $25,000 to cut her hair off and then a half a million dollars

if she would let him shave it off. Okay, she's taking that right? But he wanted to do it himself and then he gets to keep it. Oh. She said the offer was tempting and that much money buys a lot of wigs, but she turned them down.

others want to pay to touch or brush. Some people are just weirdos. Some people want as a business move to make wigs, but some people are just weirdos. But Morgan, guys hit you up about your feet? Oh yeah, if I post my feet in any way on my Instagram story, on my Instagram, I have at least five guys hitting me up in the DM, like, can I buy your feet photos?

And they are men that have relationship photos as their bio picture. And I'm like, does your partner know you're asking me for feet photos? So guys will hit you up and go, I will give you money if you take pictures of your feet and send them to me. Yes, one guy offered me $500. What? Why did you not do it? Sell that. Oh my goodness.

Take picture of my feet. Split it with them. She's not trying to sell her body. It's pictures of her feet. It's just. Oh, so now she's going to, it's a gateway drug. Stop. It doesn't have to be.

$500. Her feet are already up on the internet at times. What's the difference? Someone offered you $500 to take like a photo shoot of your feet? Yes, but I don't know. I didn't even ask. like, you know, what was he wanting from him? Because I just, I didn't want to go there.

He wants your feet, who cares? But, like, does he want my feet in a certain position? Does he, like, need them wearing a certain shoe? It feels weird. I don't know what he's going to do to those feet photos. Who cares? I'll tell you what you're going to do with that 500 bucks. You're going to spend it.

Oh, my goodness. Pay your mortgage. Amy, if someone wanted to take pictures of your feet. Yeah. Or if they said, hey, Amy, take five pictures of your feet by yourself. Just your feet. ankles down. Yeah.

And send them over and I give you 200 bucks. No, I don't want to take your feet. You're out. I cannot believe this. What's wrong with the feet?

Well, people comment, I put up, my feet were showing the other day and some guy commented about my feet too. It's weird. And there's that whole

Wiki feet website, you know what I'm talking about? Have you heard of it? You know way into the feet scene and you're not even going to show your feet pictures. Yeah. I don't know Wiki feet.

I'm sorry. Oh, well. You're the only one that knows that. I'm sorry. You're really not going to take pictures of your feet for $500 No, I don't know why it just feels very wrong to me and I can't explain it. I am willing to make money in a lot of ways, but for whatever reason, selling pictures

of my feet just feel so weird. And I feel like I'm like violating a relationship because these people are literally married or like in a serious relationship in their photos. But it's pictures of feet. But that's their thing. But what am I? Okay. If their fetish is my ears, have at it, baby.

Okay. So let's just bring this back to you and Caitlin because that's what. normally gets gets to you. Okay, say, would Caitlin let you buy feet pictures of another girl? I don't like feet. It would make sense. But I don't, but I don't.

But if someone wanted to buy my pictures of my feet, I don't think she'd have a problem. Okay, what if a guy wanted pictures of her feet? Do you let her sell them? Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, so, so. Who be the camera man? Are you kidding me? Of her feet?

I'm sure you and Caitlin have a new business here. She could probably make a lot of money. I have to hit her up about that. Yeah, okay, hit her up and tell me what she says. Please, right now, send her a text. Hey, Caitlin, if I take photos of your feet and sell them for money. But no one's asking her. They will.

Well, I don't know if they will or not. Morgan, I don't know why you're not doing that. I don't know. My mind's blunt right now. Well, I also just don't, like, think I have pretty feet. Who cares? I don't know. Like, I feel like that's weird.

It's weird. You're not taking the money. I agree. That's the weirdest part of this whole conversation. If it was something else, if you're in a swimsuit, no, of course not. But you already put your feet on the internet. Yeah, but like, what if it escalates? They're like, oh, I see your feet.

Can I see your ankle? Yes. But no. That's more money. And then your knee. And then your thigh. Raise the price. Yeah, okay.

Wow. You did it only fans for your feet. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Actually, of course, this has to be in the number one position because it was everything that happened this week. Eddie completed his walk from West Virginia to Tennessee. Woo. Woo. And Scoop of Steve completed this.

drive from West Virginia. He was there the whole way. So you did it with me, buddy. Yes. So I want to hear from both of y'all just like initial thoughts. Like when you cross the border of West Virginia and Tennessee, when you completed it, just every like feeling that you were having. That's a tough one because there was a lot going on at that moment.

There was the moment of being live on the radio of like I saw the sign and I was so ready to run to it. And Bobby's like, wait. Don't go yet because we're not, we're in commercial break. And then I said, you know what, that's great because there are people there. There are listeners there with signs. Let me talk to them for a second while we're in commercial break. Yeah.

But the whole time I'm even like taking pictures of these people. I'm like, signs right there. The borders right there. Like one step across that street and I'm in it. Four days of leading up to that. And I wanted to do it so bad. And I think that I did it and it was on the radio and everything. Everybody was cheering me on and scuba's yelling and fraud and Gator and the listeners that are there and Bobby and Amy and you guys, I can hear you guys yelling on the phone.

At that moment, it was like, whoa, this is so cool and this is great. But then I sat down and I really just like, it all hit me. I was like, wow, this is, this was so big. Like it was so, so much going on here. Like there was so much money being raised and so many people learning about foster care. and all that. And I really was soaking it all in as I was sitting on that curve. And I could not believe that it was finally over. And even my body was in shock. My body was like, why are you sitting down? What are you doing? We're still supposed to be walking. Let's go. You know, but I think that all of that once everything was over, it hit. And then this is God to me right here. We had finished with the radio. We had taken pictures. and Scuba had to do something, like, I think you had to do something on your computer.

And I wanted to take a picture in front of like this, there's like a plaque in the middle of the street that says Tennessee on one side and Virginia on the other. That's up at bodybones.com that picture is. And so it was further down the street from the sign. So I'm like, scuba, let's go over there. You can work. And I want to take a picture of this stuff or whatever.

And Scuba parks. And there's another couple that walk up to me while scuba's working. And I hadn't seen them. They weren't there. for when I walked across. And they're just like, hi. Oh my gosh, Eddie. Like you don't know us, but we're from Birmingham and we're here on vacation.

And we didn't even know you were doing this right now. We just realized that you were doing it. But we'd heard about it. And we just want to let you know we're foster parents. We've had our 11th placement. Oh, I saw that couple and I heard him say Birmingham, but I didn't really catch her here the details. Yes. And they were foster parents.

Sorry. We just shared a moment of it's it's hard to talk about foster being a foster family because it's hard. It's hard on everyone. It's hard on the families. It's hard on the kids. But it's something that needs to be done. And I think that's really when it hit me because they had no reason to be there. They were just happened to be on vacation and they were like, we saw that you're going to be here.

so we rushed over to meet you. And we talked about being foster parents. And we both just really like connected so hard on what it means to be a foster parent. And I think it was just perfect because we had just done all this walk. And I gave him a big hug. And we did a group hug like the three of us. I was like, I don't know these people. But we did a group hug.

And I felt so, so happy at that moment. because that's what it was all about. So when I crossed, yes, it was cool. When I sat down, the pain started coming and it was full of joy. But when I met those two listeners and we talked about what we do every day and the struggle that it is, but how important it is to do it and why we do it, it just brought it all full circle to me. Sorry.

No, I'm trying. I love it. And I'm trying really hard. I haven't cried about it at all, like at all this whole time. Even when we were having the conversation, I wasn't crying about it. But I knew that that moment was special. Yeah, but it sounds like now you're able to look at that moment and see how special it was. Like in the moment, everything was special, right?

Everything that was happening was exciting. You were feeling every feeling pain, happiness, sadness, excitement. Like every emotion you can feel. So now to look back at that moment, you're like, wow, that. That moment is the moment that it mattered. Yeah. More than anything else, more than everything else you did, all the steps, all the pain, that moment made it all worth it. Yeah.

Is what it sounds like in your voice. Yeah. I mean, again, I said this on one of the lives. I don't, I'm not, I'm not a spokesperson for this. I'm just a person on the radio. Like, I'm just me. Yeah. I'm not, I'm not, me and Scoba, we didn't do this for any reason other than like we just,

I said something stupid. They called me out on it. And then I said, you know what? I'm a foster parent. So yeah, let's do this. Like let's raise some money. $10,000. It'd be great for this organization because there are some chapters in this organization doesn't have, they have no money. And they struggle. And this would be a good thing. But the more I talk about it, it's just you realize like you just talk about this stuff, talk about this stuff. And when someone can relate to you and get the idea, oh, maybe I can be a foster parent. That is when it's moving. That's when. the all of this is worth it you know so and again when i met that couple and they knew exactly why i was walking and then you exactly what i go through every day and i knew exactly what they go through every day and we connected in that and i think part of the conversation that we had was i guess we don't really talk about that much about how hard it is we talk about how good it is we talk about how much you know how much good we're doing for these kids and we talk about how we need we need to do this and it's so sad that these kids go through this, but we don't talk about how hard it is for everyone involved a lot.

And I think we do it because we don't want to scare anyone. You know, we don't want to scare anyone. They're like, well, that's too hard. But the truth is it is hard. And that it's hard to relate with people about that unless they've been through it. And they knew it. We both knew it. We both connected with it.

So to me, that's when it was like it really hidden. Well, and I don't think you can't say you're not a specific. spokesperson, even though maybe, you know, legalities, you're not. I guess I don't feel like one. But I think any parent that's a foster parent is, right? I mean, anytime you've gone through that system, I don't know. But I would say that anybody who has gone through that experience can speak on it. Because until you've gone through it, you've lived through it and you've worked through it,

you can't speak on it. But as soon as you've gone through that, you can. And I think you and your wife and those people that you met, those listeners, all can. You are. You all are in your different ways because even if this whole walk inspired one person to become a foster parent, that changes everything. It's one person. One person is all that matters. Maybe it was 10. Maybe it was probably a lot more than that. I'm not saying maybe. It probably was. But even if just one person decided, hey, I'm going to sign up, even if it's volunteering, even if it's deciding to spend money yearly, even if it's doing work in their community, that benefits that. all of that was connected to that moment of both of you meeting them and all of you guys helping these people that once upon a time you never knew that's right yep and that's what's so cool about it is very cool and scuba will say this too i think it's going to be a a week that we'll never ever forget in our life oh yeah for sure this was definitely probably the highlight of of my existence

on planet earth aside for my kids and marry my wife People did say they're like, this is probably going to be y'all's like best adventure ever. For sure. It's probably the best way to explain that. And even within my career, I've done a lot of fun, cool things and met and worked with a lot of great people. This was this was by far the greatest thing in my career that I had been a part of. And the group and me and Eddie, you know, from day one, day two. And then adding in Rod and Gator, it became like this four pack.

Like we were the wolf pack. And like we were doing this together. And it was such a really cool, special four days. Yeah, you can never forget this ever, no matter what. I'll see, like if we don't work here together anymore, like 10, 15 years from now, we cross paths later down in life. It'll always be one of those things. Man, remember that one time?

Yeah. That was so cool. Yeah, you guys will forever be bonded by this last week. Absolutely. Yes, and we even cut our hands and we put them together. So, I mean. The brotherhood of West Virginia to Tennessee. And my son, too, yesterday the other day, he asked me like a weird question.

He's a deep thinker. is my 13 year old. And he goes, did you have fun with scuba Steve? And I said, I think there's something about scuba Steve that he just loves. He wants to know so much about scuba Steve. And he said, did you, did you love hanging out with scuba Steve? And I'm like, yes. I did.

He's like, did you learn more about scuba Steve? And I'm like, yeah. Yeah, I think I learned more about him. I've learned that scuba Steve loves Hollywood. And loves Hollywood movies because. Because every scenario, everything that we would draw, I walk by, he would say like, dude, that is straight out of a Hollywood movie. Or like, oh my gosh, dude, let's not go down that road.

I mean, I just feel like this is like a Hollywood movie where a horror movie where you go down that road and then we may not come out on the other side. We'd see a tunnel like, dude, that would be a great shot in a movie. I was like planning out all kinds of movies and TV show ideas and places I want to film. All of the pictures that Steve was sending to me and videos were very movie-esque. So that really adds up. The whole thing was a movie to scuba. Yeah, it was so that he was scouting out scenes.

Totally, that was fun for me, yeah. Hey, I could see this being like a hallmark movie. Right? You know, starts on a radio show a little bit. Somebody goes on a walk. It's a whole thing. There's brotherhood. Maybe, you know, they add in some love that gets found on the way, and it's a hallmark movie.

Wait, between me and Scoot? No. Well, it's a hallmark movie. You have to add in love somewhere. So maybe like while you're on the walk, you meet another walker. I don't know. Or the ladies at the hotel? Ladies.

Yeah. You have to put a romantic spin on a homemark movie. I mean, yeah, if you wanted to be you and Skibba, cool, I don't care. But I'm just saying, it could be a hallmark movie for sure. Or a lifetime movie. Totally. Eddie falls in love with the ghost of Martha. Oh, good, at the old hotel.

So many storylines out of us. This could be a Hollywood movie. You never know. This could be your chance to go into Hollywood. See if you're like, I have an idea. Let's do it. Inspired by my own life events. See?

That's how this all starts. Okay, well, I mean, we could sit here and talk about all day because we have so many questions and you guys had the best time ever. Yeah. But is there anything you guys really want, like, the listeners to know both, like, from your guys' perspectives on this walk? We talked about, I won't make you cry anymore. No more emotional conversations.

That's the first time I've done that. Or weird stories that happened. We heard a lot, a lot of live streams, and we saw a lot of things. But I know there, I have to point out, too, that at one point, while I was doing your job, I was running too many different screens. because for you getting to do the videos, we forgot that I still have to live tweet and make sure everybody knows

what's actually happening on the show. So I would pay attention most of the time to the videos, but then I'd check my computer to make sure all the socials are going. And at one point, when that happened, Scoobo Steve was peeing during the live screen. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, on the side of the road, yeah.

I'm used to. I knew where to go where I wasn't on camera, but Scoobo just forgot to let it. I got to go. Well, and I had no. Well, and I had no idea. Again, I'm preposing that because I was paying attention, but I had 80 different things I was looking at,

and it was the split second before I changed the videos over. That's on him, though. That's on him, because he left the camera point of that line. You couldn't see anything, so all good. But, like, somebody got a screenshot of him on the corner, clearly doing what he's doing. Yeah. And when I had already...

You got to go. You got to go. And I had already stopped one photo that I almost got posted on the website, because Steve is sending me all these photos. I'm literally just downloading them and adding them to the website. In one of those photos is you peeing. No. And I'm like, I can't upload that.

You took pictures of me peeing? I didn't realize you were peeing in the background. I thought I was Gator was doing a lot of pee shots. I feel like Gator every single time I pee, he would say smile. I'd be like, stop. You're doing. I'm trying to pee. That's accurate.

He's the pee cam or something. It could have been. I just know they were all coming from SCURA. So that's the only thing I know. But it took me like going through and to be like, I can't post that. So then when I saw it come through on a live term, I'm like, oh my God. that is not what was supposed to happen. I'm sitting here, I'm like, I'm going to get, what is the, it's not a copyright, but something

flagged for like inappropriate content on Facebook. Hey, when you got to go, you got to go. That's one thing we learned out there. Totally get it. Not in a live stream. You know what's funny too is that when we were driving on our way back from Bristol to Nashville, we were like, hey man, I got to stop to pee. And scuba was weird.

Well, just pull over right here. Like, what's the difference? Because when you drive, you're like, well, let me wait for a convenience store or let me wait for a gas station. We wait for a rest area. When we were walking, it was like, that tree looks nice. Yeah, going to go right now. And so while we were driving, we're like, what's the difference? Just pull over and out like we've done in the last three, four days and just pee.

But we didn't. I'll make the point, too, that it's a very good thing that you guys were all men because it is not fun as a female to pee in nature. Let me tell you. You have to squat right in the bushes. It's not fun. Let me tell you this. So I had prepared. I thought I had prepared for everything.

And so I included toilet paper just in case we're in the middle of nowhere and I got to poop. Yeah. I don't know if you wanted to talk about this, but I'm going to talk about it. It's out there now. Okay. And so I had toilet paper. We had peeing on a live stream. So what?

Just in case. We had made it three days without the urge of pooping. Oh, yeah. Three days. And the fourth day where I only have 10 miles to go somewhere in the middle. I'm like, oh, I got to go. You started walking where you're like you're clenching your cheeks. Yeah.

The walk turn in real tight. Like, it was like, all right, I got to go. I got to go. And then Rod's like, you know, the best place to do that are hotels. And I'm like, well, I don't see a hotel here, Rod. Like, I don't know what to do. But we were already in Bristol, Virginia. So I saw Starbucks.

And that was like. But like public restroom, nobody wants to do that either. No, you never want to do that. But I was like, hey, you know what? Screw it. You got to go. You got to go. So that was my, I mean, I almost made, I'm telling you,

I was five miles shy of completely. cleaning my whole walk without having to poop. Yeah. We kind of made it to the point where we weren't eating things that would make us go to the bathroom. But the last night, like you said earlier, we really indulged and had some beer and wine and we went to an Italian restaurant and I think that

activated your system. Yeah. I am surprised though. I mean, typically walking does activate your system. Yeah, but I was doing so good. Not once did I ever even think about that. I know, but that surprises me out of four days. Yeah, it's true. It's like when you talk to NASCAR drivers, like, how do you drive for four hours and I have to

pee or poop? It's like that kind of thing too where it's like, yeah, I'm surprised we didn't have to have that problem either. You were eating foods that stayed in your stomach. Yeah, pretty much, yeah, until the last day. Okay, well, that was a funny. We didn't talk about all the bowel movement. Yeah, I never thought, yeah, I didn't think we talked about that. No, but I mean, again, live stream peeing is what's part of that? Yeah. Okay, any other funny stories that happen on there? Because again, this is a whole emotional walk, but like there had to be really funny. So many funny stories. Moments,

Munnets. What comes to your mind? It wouldn't be so much funny. I think it's just our initial thought of this walk, like protection and safety, like thinking about, okay, when we're going through this, like, how do we make sure that we're safe and we're okay? And we never crossed anyone that gave us problems, even where we're in a scenario or a town that we're like, oh, God. Are you talking about the last guy? The last guy, yeah.

Like, we're in a town. We're like, this is where we're going to get killed. This is, that's when Eddie would go, like, oh, you're always thinking about a movie. I'm like, yeah, well, this is the town you go to. and there's no cell service and there's no internet, and we just go missing, because I'm driving a brand new car that looks like a spaceship, and it's got California tags on it.

We look like a bunch of hippies. Like we got nice, pretty nice clothes on and stuff. You did not look like a hippie. But I didn't, I guess, but, you know, that whole mentality. You guys are from California. I ain't from around here. I mean, again, it's a Hollywood script. Yeah.

But all those cities were totally fine, never had any issues. Everyone was really sweet and nice and pretty cool. But on the last day, and this is when we had the most room for traffic to get around us. Yeah, we had a lane. A turning lane. So that was the perfect scenario with attorney lane. If they want to go by us, you have a lane in the middle of the road that you can just pass.

No problem. Easy. No issues. And there was many different times where before, like I could see someone getting upset because we're going around a mountainside and there's nowhere to go. And they've got to come to a complete stop to get around us. Like that's annoying. That's annoying. I understand that.

But this dude, like he has the opportunity to go around and it somehow, it made him so upset that he came back around three different times. So he passed us initially. and was like screaming. And then he spun around and then drill bias and was like, hey, a lot of. You want to know what he's saying? Yeah. A lot of those. And then Gator, he noticed because he's behind me, almost like the padded vehicle.

So Gator's role was pivotal. We didn't have it day one and day two because of just me and Eddie doing it. He was great because he dropped back about four or five cars and be the first warning sign that, hey, there's something happening. So they would see him and they would slow down. And by the time they saw me, they were definitely slowing down or moving. moving over, which was really great. Then Gator's like, hey, that guy we saw twice already, has come back around again, be ready.

And he comes, he comes just bailing down the road. And then Gator goes to kind of block him. He almost hits Gator's car. And then finally gets around Gator and looks at me and he's like, hey, what the is y'all's problem? What are you doing right now? And I'm like, dude, get the hell out of here. Like, like, just go.

And like, if you do it. And then, but everyone who else was passing us had no problem. They were okay with it. And if I would have had the moment to be like, hey, this is what we're doing, you should feel like an idiot because what we're doing here is, yeah, it's an inconvenience for you in this moment. But like, come on. It was an inconvenience enough that he came back twice to get inconvenienced. Three times. Three times. Yes. But the first time he's like, okay, I'm inconvenienced. Yeah. And then it was like, let me get inconvenience two more times. It makes no sense.

Yes. And I told him to kick rocks, like get out of here. But then I was talking to Rod and Eddie, I'm like, this is a guy. I grew up with these kind of people. And I'm like, he's going to go get Jim, Kevin and Larry and come back. So then we had to be like the whole rest. So the last five miles, I was nervous for our life. Like I worry about to get into a fight. Like it's, we've gone three days, no issues. Did you imagine you guys ended it with a brawl?

I wouldn't have. I wasn't losing my pace. I would have kept going. Like, hey, guys, take care of that. Yeah. Eddie, you keep going. We got this. I would have kept going.

Yeah. Interesting, though. Does it change your perspective on having road rage, Eddie? Yeah. I've never had that kind of road rage, though. Like, these people, and Scoobble would tell you, I would say one out of every

50 cars, there was an irate person, like upset at something. Like, and I don't understand. I get people go through things, but this guy, these people like, what, one out of 50? Yeah, maybe one out of a hundred. Maybe one out of a hundred. That would like yell and be

like, oh, move. There were difference in the honks. Yes, yeah. There was, beep, beep. And then there was, and then there was, and then there was, Danny! Nice. And then there was, Buh!

Get the heart! B! And then they would whizz on by. I'm like, well, that's not a fan. No. And the semis are scary because the semis would get really close. And they're bailing down the freeway going down a mountainside. And there are, you know, there are several tons.

And they just roll right by as if we're not even there. You're like, what the hell is wrong people? And they're looking at you like with the meanest eyes. Like, what do you think you're doing? I'm like, dude, what does it look like we're doing? I'm like, we're caravaning, you know? We're walking for a cause. We're doing something different.

It's not like our car broke down. Obviously, there's a radio station van. a car in the middle and a dude in a bright shirt walking with a water. Yeah, there were people who did stop and didn't know what was going on and they were curious, like five or six different police officers. They were police officers. State trooper. I think, I think Scooba made a great, great point on one of the calls.

Like, he would say when you get pulled over by a cop, doesn't matter what you're doing. It doesn't matter if you're going to speed limit. You got hands on 10 and 2 and your insurance is perfectly right. Your registration is perfect. If a cop gets behind you, you get a little nervous. Yeah. What did I do?

It's a natural reaction. You get a little nervous. So every time we saw a cop, like, uh-oh, every police officer was so nice. Every police officer was like, what are you guys doing? You guys need help? Are you all right? Is your car broken? What's he doing?

Can you just imagine, though, the thought process of the, I know there was a few cops that knew y'all and knew what you were doing. Yes, yes, yeah. But the other ones who are like, so there's a man walking. There's a guy following him. Uh-huh. Why are they in the car together? And why is he going one mile an hour? That was the question.

You can see it on their face like, what's happening here? My favorite was that one. Then when you're referring to, the guy comes up to me and goes, is he bothering you? And he points to scoop. I'm like, I wanted to be like, yes. He's a pain in the butt. I've been with him for three days. Yeah, two and pulled up.

One guy gets out with a big old dip in his mouth. He's like, you all right. And I was like, oh, God. Here we go. Yes, sir, officer. He's bothering the crap out of me. He won't stay closer to me. Oh, my God.

Did you get it? That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, you guys ran in. I think that's a cool part of the journey too. You guys ran into so many listeners, police officers, Rod and Gator, who are our, like, bigger bosses, I guess you could say. That came and joined you guys on the trip. Like, I feel like that part was cool.

So you just got some community around you guys. Yes, real quick, too, what was really funny, and we may be running out of time. But everywhere we would stop to eat. And there would be little gas stations. Gas stations with a little diner or a little pizza place attached to whatever. Every place we stopped to eat and it was 30 minutes stops, the person at the counter would come up and be like, I'm sorry. This is the weirdest call I've ever gotten in my life. But somebody called and said drink pickle juice.

And I'm like, excuse me? Are you ready? And then I'd be like, yeah. They'd be like, yeah. Somebody just called and said drink pickle juice. and I don't know who it was or what they were referring to, but they said that. And then another

place, I'm gonna be like, hey, are you Eddie and Scuba, Steve? A guy by the name of so-and-so call, he said, well, you wait for him for five minutes. Yeah, yeah. Like, what is happening? Weird things were like, the people that run in the gas station were just like,

what's going on here? Well, those people had to be taking a chance to be like, they might hear this, they might never walk in there. And I said, how did you know it was us? Well, they said, a Mexican and a guy with a big beer. Yeah, and in our lunch spot You got us

And then a home slice This lady came to us Elaine She's like I don't know you guys I don't listen to you guys But my brother Her brother

Her brother knows It was kind of like Where she's like I don't know anything But she knew a lot Oh she knew everything about us It was almost like maybe she did know Or just

I think her brother probably told her a lot about us Okay yeah And he's a huge fan And she sat down and kind of told us A bunch of stuff Because we're going to the Martha Washington She gave us a bunch of facts about it And which by the way

That hotel If you ever have a chance or listening, you ever been there? You know. In Abingdon, Virginia. Yeah. Beautiful. It used to be in all girls college back in the 1700s, I guess early 1800s. Then the Confederate Army took over and they took over the hotel.

So there's supposed, I guess, apparently a lot of ghosts and haunted stories there. Now I bet Scuba loved this place. Well, let me tell you this. When I was getting into my room, me and Gator, we were walking because we were all in different areas of the hotel. And it's big. It's like an old, old building. It's a college, yeah. And so we're all in different areas.

And me and Gator are walking towards where my room is. And I'm getting my key ready. And I hear a voice up the stairs that says like, oh, can you hear me? And we both look at each other and go, what? And we both look up the stairs. You and Gator both heard this. We both heard this. And we hear like, ha ha ha.

It's a little, it's a young girl, like probably 12, 13 year old. And she's just going, ha, that's funny. Yeah. I can hear you. And we were just like, what is happening going on? And then we realize we think that there's someone having a phone conversation above us. So you thought it was a ghost? But I swear for 30 seconds, we thought it was a ghost.

And then Gator said like, yeah, I eventually saw it. It was a young girl in the phone. Okay. But even in the hot tub, you said you felt the brush a cold air in the corner? You felt it. Well, I wouldn't go near it. You're like, come feel it. And I felt it for a half a second because I was like, I'm not going over there.

He's like, no, I'll move. It has nothing to do with you. You're telling me we're in a hot tub where we're sweating. It's 120 degrees and you have a brush of cold air. in one corner that you're sitting in a hot tub and that was real and he had been making fun

of Martha the whole night every time someone happened he goes Martha please send and I'm like you're taunting Martha Washington and I'm not having it I don't want anything to do with this

and he's like come over here and feel it I'm like I'm not coming here to feel it and then Martha's attached to me for the rest of my life I'm not going over there and so he's like come on touch touch it

I'm like I'm not going so I don't even know where it ended but I wasn't going to go touch it it was bizarre you're in a steaming hot tub and it's so so hot but then there was cold water on my leg. So what you're telling me is that not only

did you guys accomplish a walk, but you also stayed in a haunted hotel. Whatever. Yeah, but no. Whatever. Whatever. The whole second floor apparently was haunted and they put us in the third and fourth, thank God. And I didn't realize it was haunted. I didn't do any research. I knew it was an old building. I didn't want to get into

it because I'm like, if I don't research it, I don't need to know about it and it won't happen. But Elaine, going back to her home slide, she's like, oh, Martha Washington. Oh, yeah, that's haunted. The Confederate Army was there and all this stuff and there's ghosts. And I'm like, I did wake up. at like three in the morning because it was really cold. So I turned off the AC and when I turn off the AC at three in the morning, pitch dark, I heard

the phone was off the hook. And I was like, where is that sound coming from? And I look over and sure enough, my phone by my bed was off the hook. And that's the Wiccan hour. 3 a.m.'s the Wiccan hour. Oh my God. Hey, just saying. Yeah.

I'm not making that up. So you might have come back with haunted ghosts. Thanks, guys. Yeah. But it was a beautiful hotel though. I mean, it was gorgeous. So cool. And they had like a pup-put area.

They had a trampoline, tennis courts, indoor pool. It was beautiful. Are you even endorsement with them or something? He's about to. Cut on Martha Washington.com to find out more. Oh, my goodness. Well, I love that. I love it.

It sounds like you guys had fun. You know, it was the best thing you guys could have done. So much came out of it that you guys weren't anticipating. Just so many good things to say about it. I love that for both of y'all. And I love it for the show. I love it for National Angels. Yeah, me too.

I just, I mean, we could seriously sit here and talk all day. You guys are going to have stories for the rest of your life, which is really cool. And thanks for letting us talk to you about all that. Yeah. All of our listeners are going to love these stories. I know they love. Thanks for your help because I know you're doing the double work, but also just helping me with the live stream and getting videos and social to you and posting it. That was huge.

And then the multitasking, which was great. So I just want to tell you you should have an immense amount of confidence in what you do and just be, just be. you because what you did was great. So thank you. That's why I gave you that gift. My nail. Your nail. Because you kept it all together. You nailed it down. 100% going to give me a staff. I may have that because another quick story. Oh my gosh. Come on. Get over this.

We're like finding things on the side of the road. And he picked up one. He goes, oh, here's a lure. It was the coolest fishing lure ever. Which I found it, by the way. Again, staff infection, a freaking needle. It was a hook. It was a hook. And it was all rusty. And I go to reach the middle console, which is where he put it. And I'm, like, reaching four things.

And I'm like, ow! And I pricked himself. He pricked myself with the lure. And I'm like, dude, now I have to get a tetanus shot. No, he was like, oh, my finger. I'm like, really, dude? Like, I've been, this is my 20th, my 30th mile. And you're like, my finger.

I was like a valid point. I should stop complaining about this. I mean, no, but fair. But don't get a test of shot because I think there's like eight of those. And that's not worth it for one. For like one poke. Oh, no, thanks. I'm pretty sure they are.

I'll just deal with whatever happens. Yeah, yeah. That and rabies, I've stayed far away from. two shots. You do love dogs. I know, but I stay away. Chomp, tom, tom. Yeah, stay away. I don't like shots. Oh, man. Okay, well, any

last words before we sign off here? No, I mean, I think just lastly, I think our listeners are just incredible people and everyone, I mean, not just our listeners, even the people that just kind of met up with us out there, everyone. There's a lot of great people out there and it was very, very cool to see that everyone

donate. It was very cool to see everyone, like you said, on our Facebook page and on social media, just reach out and encourage us the whole way. All that is just a very beautiful thing. It's very cool to see. So thank you to everyone. I love that. Scuba. I concur. I mean, that's exactly what needs to be said.

All right. Well, shout out to both of you guys and Rod and Gator who joined the journey too. Y'all rocked it. For real. I can't say more than that. You guys just seriously rocked it. In every which way, positivity, everything. Yeah. You guys. Rock and rock.

All right. Well, you guys can hear this moment to where Eddie finally crosses the finish line. I hope you all enjoy those stories because that was fun. Number one. Eddie says he can see the sign. Eddie, are you there? No, I see the sign. You're talking like 300 yards away right now. Okay, don't cross it. The site's back up. Okay. Eddie, the site apparently has been crashed the entire time. Don't cross it yet, okay? Okay. Okay. I'm not moving. We are going to cross this segment, but the site we've been raising money on has crashed.

Again, what a lovely problem to have. However, okay, I'm getting the numbers. I still see $0 raised. It's back up at least so people can donate. So the donations are back up. Are we sure? Positive. Okay, try to go.

I mean, try to go donate if you can. We were at like $185,000. We were trying to hit $200. I think we would have had it, had the site not crashed. Eddie is about to finish his journey. For those that are just turning the radio on for the first time, let me explain to you before Eddie makes that walk. And you can watch this right now on our Facebook page.

Just go search Bobby Bone Show. You will see the live stream of Eddie crossing the line. But months ago, Eddie made an offhand comment about a George Strait song, Carry in your love with me. Where's the sign? Oh, we're listening in. Oh, I got you. I got it.

Okay. Take a picture, I believe. We're listening in on Eddie finding the sign. Ooh. Well, I see the big sign, but there's supposed to be a plaque on the street that I can't find. but that doesn't matter. I see the border. Okay. So Eddie says that's not very far to carry your love. We said, then do it yourself, wise guy. And he goes, why would I do that?

This is the radio show. I just say funny stuff. He said, if you raise $10,000 for an organization that I work with, National Angels, I will do it. We put that on the air. And you guys turned 10 and quickly it was 50. Hyundai donated $10,000 to $60. We couldn't believe it when it got up to $100. Last night, my eyeballs were humongous when I saw $100,000. woke up this morning is $150,000. Recently, the last time we checked before you guys crashed the site,

it was at $185,000. We have no idea what it is right now, or even if it's $1 more, because the love you guys have shown Eddie and shown this show has crashed the site. Eddie, how far are you out from the site, from the sign? I'm like 20 feet away. I'm right under the sign,

but all I'd have to do is cross the street to get into Tennessee. Are you ready to cross that line? Yeah. Let's go. Count us down, Eddie. All right. Wait, there's cars.

Hold on. All right, here we go. Five, four. Three, I want to make the car stop. Two, one. And I'm crossing the street, guys. There he is. One hundred miles.

You did. You did. Almost $200,000. You made it. Eddie, you made it. How do you feel? right now? Oh, I feel good. Oh, I feel good. Now really, how do you feel right now? Oh, dude, I feel great. Look, there's a Tennessee

flag on a light pole. I want to climb it so bad and grab it, but I can't. How physically? Physically, how are you right the second? Oh, dude, I feel great. I feel no pain. I'm probably in a lot of pain. I don't feel it, though. I'm sitting down for a second, now. He's taking a break. We're watching him right now. There are over 14,000 people watching live on the stream as Eddie walks across into Tennessee. Don't sit too long because you might not be able to get back up. That's a good point. I like France.

Yeah. So Eddie, what's the plan now? You just finished. What do you do with the rest of your day? Oh, I just told Scuba, hey, man, bad news. I might fall asleep on the way home. Well, yeah. You deserve it.

So I'm going to get some Gatorade bones, grab something to eat, and then we're going to head back to Nashville, dude. I miss you guys. I miss my family, so I'm ready to get back. almost 15,000 people watching the live stream right now as Eddie crosses over into Tennessee. We are extremely proud of you for doing this walk, for putting your feet where your mouth is, for raising a bunch of money, just for doing what you do, man. It's four days you're away from your family.

We're very proud to have you on the show. Very proud that you're a friend and very proud of the work you've done. Thanks, Bones. Thank you. Thank you to all our listeners, really, everyone that donated. Everyone that followed me along the way and encouraged me. So there are about five to ten people here that brought signs and watched me walk across. That's so cool to me.

And we're not even on the air there. No, we're not. No, so it's awesome. Yeah, so there are a bunch of random people going, why is this random guy walking to our neighborhood? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Hey, Eddie, let me talk to scuba Steve for a second. You got it.

Hold on. Hey, what's up, man? Scuba, to you, you did drive the entire time at one mile an hour, and that, too, is a feat in itself. Yes. Yes, thank you. Are you sore? My right butt cheek is sore. My right shoulder is sore.

I mean, God, I really could do the massage. But that Hyundai, Tucson was nice and comfortable, though, so I appreciate it. Also, thanks to Hyundai for giving us the Tucson, for helping us out with some other stuff to make sure we could be safe. What are you saying, Amy? Oh, we need to get Eddie a massage. Like, we should arrange that. Well, scuba. In scuba.

Yeah, both. No, no, we'll give him one. Oh, that's what we're going to do. Oh, there you go. All right. This is what the audience wants to see in here. All right, guys. Eddie, congratulations.

Scuba, nice work. And we will talk to you guys soon. Thanks, Bob. I miss you guys. Probably on the post show. Yeah. Something like that. There he is.

Eddie, our champion, the people's champion. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. All right, y'all, that's it for me. I know it was a super long one, but it was so fun. And we heard so many great stories from Eddie and Scuba Steve from their walk and their entire adventure from West Virginia to Tennessee. I really had so much fun hearing about it. And there was happy moments, sad moments.

Like, we really just touched it on. I hope you guys enjoyed every bit of it. If you did, hit us up on socials at Bobby Bone Show or you can hit up me at Webgirl Morgan.
