Hello, it's Morgan. Welcome to the best bits of the week. In case you're a first time listener, what I do each weekend is I take the best seven segments from the show this week and I count them down. Those seven segments are based on your engagement online, what you called in about. If you really had an opinion, basically these are the seven best moments that we want you to release. live over and over again. And along the way, I typically bring somebody with me. This week I'm bringing on Hillary. Some of you might have heard her named Utility Hillary. For me, she's just Hillary. She's one of my really good friends. Hillary, welcome for hanging out with me. Hi, thank you for having

me. So we're going to get into this, but you're going to get to know Hillary along the way and we'll talk about the segments. It's going to be super fun. So let's get started. This one brought a lot of engagement online. Lunchbox got offended. a restaurant. Now, some would say he was being a little too sensitive, and others say he was right on point. But all that said and done, he also tipped the waitress less because of the interaction. So this whole bit really stirred you guys up online, but I want to hear from Hillary to find out if she's ever been offended at a restaurant or maybe just in public. Yes, I actually have. I was thinking about it, and I was at a store with my mom. I was at Sam's. My mom was

with me, my aunt and my sister. And I was trying on rain jackets. And this lady, random lady, she didn't work there. She, we were minding her own business. She walked by and she's standing there and she's staring at me trying on these jackets. And I tried one on and it fit great. Like it was perfect. And she's like, I think you need a size up. Oh, no. Yes. And my mom looked at me and my mom's eyes got huge. And I just looked at my mom and I was like, we just froze. I'm like, what do I say? What do we do? And my sister's over there like trying not to laugh. Like, this is so uncomfortable. And it was so awkward. But I was like kind of offended because this lady who I don't know is just standing there staring at me, trying on this jacket and decides to tell me that I

need a size up. That is absolutely not kind of offensive. That is a hundred percent offensive. I totally understand why you got so upset. Like I really do. Yeah. And that happened when I was in, high school and I still remember that to this day. Oh, see, people's words matter. This is why you don't, unless you have something overly positive to say and you are 100% guaranteed it is positive. Yes. You should not say it.

You should not say it. But do you have any moments? Yeah, I mean, I had a similar. It was a body compliment. Gosh. In his way, it was a compliment. But I was at the gym and I'm just like working out, minding my own business. And apparently I'm doing some like tough workouts.

this guy comes up to me, he goes, oh, you're getting thick. Like, it's looking good. And I'm like, I don't care if you thought that was a compliment. Because in today's world, thick is necessarily a compliment to most people, right? Yeah. It's not to me, for whatever reason, I just don't like the terminology. But also, why are you coming up to me? You don't even know what I'm trying to do. Maybe I'm trying to lose weight. Maybe I am trying to put on muscle. I don't know, but why are you complimenting me on it? I don't want what you have to say about anything. It's so awkward. I had somebody make that comment to me. And when I was talking to one of my friends, they're like, that's a compliment.

And I said, to me, it's not a compliment. So you just should not, no matter if you're a man or a woman, you should not comment on anybody's body. Like, at all. I feel like that should be common sense. But the fact that both of our stories, we did not share our stories with each other at all. We had no idea this is where we were going to go with this. And the fact that we both had body image once is crazy to me. Yes.

And I just feel like to, like we're in a world now that, yes, I understand people are very sensitive in things. But bodies are just something you should just not comment on period. Yes. We often talk about like not going up to a pregnant woman asking her if she's pregnant. Like this goes on that same line. Yes. You can change somebody's entire demeanor if you go up to them and say something that may not fit the narrative they have going on in their head. I totally agree.

and I struggle with body image issues and it all stems from comments that have been made to me. And I remember there was an administrator at our school and she would constantly get on to me for like, because I have big boobs. I do. I always have and she would always get on to me and be like, you need to pull your camey up. I went to a private Christian school or she would tell me like I can't wear certain things, but other girls were allowed to. And that has stuck with me and I always feel so self-conscious about.

myself and it just I don't know like we remember things and it sticks with you yes that makes me so sad that you have stuck out in your mind this entire life for you I mean how old are you not right yeah I'm 28 and that was going on since eighth grade yeah and that has stuck with you so for over let's say close to 20 years yeah I was I I feel like I was taught to be ashamed of my body which I know is kind of odd to say but I it may have been you. It was one of my friends like made me realize that and I can't remember who it was but for some reason I wouldn't think it was you but we were talking about that because obviously we're friends outside of the show so we talk about a ton of things but um it was one of those things where

I was talking about it and I'd never thought about it and my friend was like I feel like you were kind of taught to be ashamed of your body and being curvy and you were taught that that's a bad thing and that you can't wear certain things because you look like that and it's true. I've never thought about it, but I was. And that's why I think I struggle so much with my body. I want to wear like sweaters and baggy sweatshirts and things like that. I don't like anything tight on me because I was kind of taught that that was not okay. Well, and let's just say here, you know, wearing baggy and sweatshirts and sweats are awesome and you should totally wear that if you want to. But you should also feel confident that you can wear the other stuff because

really the only person that should have anything to say about your body is you. And as as you feel good in whatever you're wearing, that's all that matters. Yeah, and I totally agree with you. And thankfully, I'm in a good place where I have good friends like you who encourage me and are just there for me. So, yeah, I'm in a better headspace style than I was when I was in eighth grade. Well, we'll leave it on this note, too. Just your words matter, whether you say them in person, whether you say them online, however you share them, just make sure what you're putting out into the universe is very positive. Fine. And if you can't be... be 100% sure that it is positive, you just shouldn't say it. No, don't say it. Let's go back to the

golden rule. Ooh, I got to remember this. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Yes. Is that the golden rule? Yes. Okay, yes. I believe it was one of our golden rules in school. It's one of the golden rules. If that's not the main one, it's one of us. Yes. We're leaving it on that. Your words matter. But, you know, here, listen how lunchbox got offended. I'm not going to lie. I, you know, I'm kind of on his side. I wouldn't have tipped the waitress less because I always tip 20% and over no matter what. That's just what I do. But I understand why he got offended.

Number seven. Okay, lunchbox, what happened? So my wife and I decided to go eat somewhere, eat on a patio. We go up to the register. We order and we look at the menu and my wife decides, man, I'm really craving a burger. She orders a burger. And I'm like, man, that summer salad with strawberries and grilled chicken sounds really good. So I order the grilled chicken summer salad.

Boom. We go sit down, waiting for our meal. and the lady brings it out and she takes the burger and she puts it in front of me and puts the salad in front of my wife and I was like oh actually I'm the one that has the salad she goes oh I just assumed the man ordered the burger

and she flipped them right there that's why she got tipped less because she gave me the burger and my wife the salad and I was offended was your wife offended or just you but what does that matter why can't he be offended No, because I'm genuinely curious if his wife was offended. Because as a woman, I mean, I could see where there's like a little like, okay, whoa, why are you trying to say I need the salad?

I would say as a server who served for a long time, you start to go, well, 95% of the time, this is where this goes. This is the person who orders it. And it's probably just muscle memory with them because they've had 1,000 orders and 998 of them are that. I don't think you hold that against her. I don't think she's doing it based on what you look like, what size you are other than. Is it a girl or a guy? It was a girl. Again, I just assumed that because most of my servers are female.

We did a story the other day where I was like, hey, this teacher, and I said, you know, she and Mike goes, no, it's a guy. Just because most of my teachers were female teachers, were women. Correct. So I think that we live our life based on what we've learned. She has probably had 10,000 of those orders like that, and most of them, that's exactly what it was. I don't think you should have punished her for that. Yeah, see, everybody always says don't make assumptions because it makes a, well, But everybody makes assumptions all the time.

Right. I know. But what she did was she assigned what we are supposed to eat to us. And so I had to teach her that, listen, you shouldn't do that. Just telling her by keeping the money the same if the service was good. Well, no, no, just telling words, ah, that's okay. Actions speak louder than words is what I've been taught in my life. And so my action was to deduct some from the tip.

So she understood that, hey, you can't just assume that someone is eating a salad and you could offend somebody. and so I had to stand up for the people of America and next time I bet you she won't make that mistake and everybody from here on forward that is served by her will have her come and be like, who had the burger? Why don't you just think of a reason to tip or less? No. I would have tip to no.

I'm not looking for deductions when things happen. You have to deduct things. The fact that Lunchbox is deduction guy where he's like every little thing, he's like minus a dollar. That's not literally. Eddie, didn't you know somebody who did that with money? My friend's dad, he would put $5 bills on the table. and then whenever they would mess up anything in the order,

he would be like, all right, well, one last for you? Crazy. I'd never seen anything like that in my life. That's so embarrassing. Listen, Amy, you should be on my side. This is me saying, listen, women can eat a burger and it's okay. I think she probably eats burgers. I think she's just done it so many times.

It was an honest mistake. You drive to work the same way every day, don't you? I'm thinking about it. Yes or no. Do you think about every turn you're making? Like, I've got a turn here. I have to turn left here. No, you do the, once you do the same thing so many times,

unless there's construction, you go the same way without thinking about it. Got it. You're right. Right. But Lunchbox, does she know that that's the reason why she got that tip? Maybe she just thinks you're a lousy tipper and she learned nothing. Like, unless you, I know you were like minimizing the whole words thing and money speaks louder,

but unless you verbalize in a really thoughtful way, like, hey, you know, my wife and I were cool with this, but that might actually, or I guess you're not, you're offended. Share with her, hey, like, that really offended me. And then maybe it'll change how she does things in the future. But you deducting her money. Did you tell her? I told her, actually, I got the salad. But did you tell her why you tip less?

No, I didn't tell her that. Did she learn nothing? Except you're a crappy tipper, except the guy with the front mullet, it's a crappy tipper. Next time you and your wife walk in, she's going to be like, please don't come to my table. Please don't come to my section. But you guys are on my side. No. Amy's on my side.

No, no. Back up. It sucks, yes, that she was made that assumption. But yes, probably by the numbers, women do it. end up getting known more for salads. But I love that your wife was getting the burger. And I don't like that she did that and said it out loud to y'all. And hopefully she didn't make anybody feel uncomfortable like your wife.

I really don't. Said it out loud is just going, here's the burger for you. Like she didn't. Yeah, but she said, no, he said that she said, oh, I assume. Yeah, then she said, I said, actually, I got the sign. She goes, oh, I just assumed the guy got the burger. She did say that to me. And so then I was like, well, you know.

Okay. Listen, I don't agree with what you did. Me neither. Eddie? No. Of course not. He says the most vile thing sometimes, and people get offended. He's like, well, they're stupid to get offended to that.

I do think it was a learning opportunity, but you taught nothing because you just deducted pay and said nothing. I think he was just looking to get a cheaper way out. And he did. Yeah. Good for him. She didn't have no pep in her step when she was bringing our food at took a dollar off. You guys can call us if you want. 877-Bobby.

Does anyone agree with Lunchbox, by the way, of the whole room? People behind the scenes or not? Anybody agree? Say aye. No. No. No. Nico Jackson does not count.

Nico Jackson does not count. Your other personality cannot chime in. Let's go. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. This week we had another fun fact Friday off. And I went up against Eddie and I'm just going to say I'm a little bitter because I think I should have won this. Yeah, I gave something away but I'm pretty sure I should have won. You know, there was some sympathy boats in here for Eddie.

I had some really good fun facts and I tried. really hard and then he just somehow came in and won but I'm not appreciative of that I want Hillary to share with us though her favorite fun fact you know we were talking about this and I have submitted this into like the show like with prep and it's never been used before well it's getting used right now it's getting used right now did you know that the man who does the Tony the Tiger voice is the same guy who's saying you're a mean one mr. Grinch what yes okay wait how does Tony the Tiger go There's go.

Okay. You're a mean one. Mr. Grinch. His name is, I'm going to probably butcher this, Thirl, Arthur Ravenscroft. What? So he's a giant tiger and he's a giant Green Grinch. Yes, and I was looking up his Wikipedia page, and he has so many other things that he's voiced. I feel like he did stuff with Disney, too.

And I just like, I never knew that was the same person. And it just blew my mind the day that I found that out. I love fun facts that blow your mind. Like, I really do. Yes. And I know that you've had, you had to list like five the other day, but do you have any more? I mean, the other one that I didn't share that I have off the top of my little noggin here is the fact about the penguins and the pebbles. That isn't it penguins or is it otters?

Hold on, hold on. I'm looking at up while I find my other, my favorite fun fact. Okay. for some reason I have me and you. I'm picturing both of us on 65, you're driving in your Jeep and you shared this fact with me. And I think it was an otter. But now I'm trying to think what it was.

That sounds like appropriate for our friendship that I shared a random fun fact as we're driving. We have the most random conversations and this definitely sounds like one that we've had. And I vaguely remember it. But now I can't remember what it was. And I can't even find the fact now. but it's either penguins or otters, and they carry like a pebble within their whole life, and then they give it to their soulmate when they find it. Okay, I think it was an otter.

I remember you talking about this one time, and I think you told me it was an otter. Yeah, we're going to go with otter, because I don't think it's a penguin. I think it's an otter, and I think they've put in their little pouch thing, and they hold on to this pebble their entire life, and then when they finally find their soulmate, they gift them their pebble. I think that's the cutest thing ever. I should have used it. Maybe I would have actually won. I know. You would have won over all the people were like, oh, you would have won Amy over because she thinks things are really sweet.

I mean, I did win Amy over pretty much the whole time. You did. Eddie won by sympathy. We're just going to put that in the universe. Yeah. If I was in there voting, Morgan would have gotten all my votes and she would have won. Okay, well, besides fun facts, though, I also, the listeners don't know you super, super well. So I want you to share like some interesting things about yourself. So I always hate this question because I'm like, I don't feel like I'm that interesting of a person because I never know what to say. So sitting here like trying to think of things. And there's one thing that it's really not fun.

It's kind of odd and very annoying to my friends, but something that I like to do. If I'm watching a TV show, I don't know why I do this, but I will always look up the ending before I get to the last episode. We can be sitting and watching a movie and Hillary's like, I got a favorite show. out what's going on. Like, don't tell any of us. Do not look that up. And I won't tell anybody. That's the thing. I'm like, why does it annoy you? I don't tell you. But I don't know if it's like an anxious thing or a curiosity thing. I have no idea why I do it, but I have to know. Like, because I'm the type of person, if I'm watching a show and I love it, I will stay up until like 2 a.m. watching it. But I'm so tired, I'm going to look it up and see what happens so I can go to bed and know what happens.

Has there ever been a time that you didn't look something up? Yes, I'm sure there has been. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. But I've been actually, yes, a show I was watching recently because one of my friends challenged me to do it. And I can't think of now what that show was called. I think it was on Amazon. Wait, so you watched Avengers Endgame when it came out. Did you look up what happened before you went to that movie?

Oh, no, because I went day of. So, I mean, I know some people could have posted spoilers, but there was no way to post spoilers. So that would be one that you didn't do. Okay, yeah, which I'm not going to give a spoiler here, but I bawled my eyes out. And like during the movie, when I was driving home, I was still crying in the car. So I think, too, I like to mentally prepare for things. And I didn't mentally prepare that that was going to be so sad. And if I would have known that, I would have known that, I would have known that I. I may not have cried. Like, I was, I was crying, and the man next to me was like, oh, my gosh, you need to, like, chill out. And Morgan Massingale was with me, and she had to give me her napkins from her nachos that she had been using. And I was just not okay. Hey, to be fair, it was very emotional. I understand completely.

But it does sound like you kind of compartmentalize your emotions when it comes to movies and TV shows. I guess I do. I feel like this is a therapy session. This is also how you enjoy. you are really obsessed with like serial murder things. Oh my gosh. I am, which you don't watch any, any crime show. So I can't come in and talk to Morgan about things.

But I have this weird. Somebody told me I was strange for saying this because I don't mean I'm like super fascinated in it like I'm ever going to do something to somebody one day. But I do find it fascinating. Serial killers, how they get away with stuff for so long. And I do like to find out what their motives are. or the types of people they go after because I like to be aware of things. And so I feel like watching that stuff and researching it,

I'm learning stuff for myself and how to be safe and what to look around for and my surroundings and, you know, make sure your door's locked and I sleep with a knife under my bed now. Yeah, let me just point out too that I'm a very paranoid person. I'm very aware of my surroundings always, but Hillary is 10 times the paranoia that I am because she watches these shows. Yes. Should I tell my, I've never shared this publicly what I did in Publix that one time? Do you remember? Oh my gosh. Yes. This is the best story. Okay, I've never shared this. This happened like a month and a half ago. So I was in Publix. And this was right after we had an attempted kidnapping in Nashville. It was a girl who was our age. She was running, attempted kidnapping. So I'm already like on edge. And after my serial killer shows, like I am on edge, but that really just set me off. So I'm, I I'm in the grocery store and I was looking at some sauces and I noticed this girl next to me. The only reason I noticed is because I was kind of taking a few minutes and I turned to apologize to her.

And I noticed this man like lingering around and I thought it was a little odd. But I was like, you know what, whatever. He like was acting like he was looking at a shelf and then he was looking back at her. Very odd. So I was like, okay, that's kind of strange. Well, then I went down another aisle and she was down that aisle. And the man turned down the aisle to follow her. So he was clearly following her.

And I was like, my girl radar just went off. And I was like, I have to help this girl. Like, I need to tell her and make sure she's aware. So we were up at the cash registers. And he was carrying some flowers and he was going to the register to get in line. And she was in the bread aisle. So I go to her and I said, hey, I just want to make sure you're okay. And right at that moment, I realized who she was.

I recognized her. And we were wearing masks, but I recognized her. And it's not like I could walk away in that moment. and I had to finish with the conversation. And I was like, I think that man is following you. And she looked at me and she was like, oh, yeah. Like he's supposed to be. He's my bodyguard.

It was Savannah Crisley from Chrisley knows best. And she was like, I have a stalker. And so that man's my bodyguard. And he's paid to follow me. And I felt so bad and so embarrassed. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. Okay, I'm going to go check out now. But to be totally fair, had you not done that and you left and you wouldn't have said anything to her,

you would have thought about it forever. Yes. And wish you would have. So, like, it's always better safe than sorry. Yeah. And I'm the person who, like, will, I want to make sure everybody's okay. So if I see a girl in trouble, I'm going to make sure she's okay. Like, I don't want something to happen because I will feel bad and I will think about it.

I'm thinking about something right now that happened three years ago. And I still wonder if that girl's okay. So I don't know. I just, I'm like that. And I don't know if it's because of my serial killer show obsession, but. I mean, I'm not going to say they relate because I'm not an expert on anything, but I don't have a feeling they relate. I think so, for sure.

It doesn't some weird way. Which is why I won't watch them because, you know, when you live by yourself, you're like, I don't want things to happen. And then I'm freaked out. And then things happen. And then you're like heightened security and for no reason. I know I've, like called the police before. I'm like, I heard a noise.

There was something. Oh, yeah. I call my parents. And I'm like, hey, I hear something. And it doesn't sound good. If my roommate's out of town, I sleep with our bar stool in front of our door, which I have an alarm. So I'm like, I don't know what the bar stool is going to do, but it makes me feel better. Oh, and I thought I was bad.

I think you win. I think you take the cake for the paranoia, but also being very aware of everything in your life. And for other people, too, not just myself, aware for other people. Very much so. Well, that was a fun story and a story that you guys just heard for the first time that I've heard for a while and I thought it was amazing. Too embarrassed to share. So I'm really glad you just shared that story. Yes. But here is Eddie and I

Facing each other off for Fun Facts Friday. Number six. Just segments of spin-off. You know how friends and they had Joey for a while? That failed. But we're going to do this. It's the Fun Fact Friday off. Today it is our champion, producer Eddie.

Guys, did you know, since we're all American here, the average American will eat around 35,000 cookies in their lifetime? That's a lot of cookies. All right, Morgan? Well, Bobby, you like to play basketball. Did you know that the U.S. Supreme Court has its own private basketball court? And it has a nickname, the highest court in the land. Oh, which one's more fun?

Number four. All right, Morgan, you won. You're next. Okay. Well, we like to communicate by talking. Lobsters have bladders on either side of their heads. So the way they communicate with each other is by urinating on each other. Out of their heads?

Yep. They pee out of their heads? That's the more fun fact. You buried the headline. All right. Lobsters pee when they talk. All right. Dang, that's pretty cool.

Jeff Bezos worked at McDonald's? Isn't that crazy? Wow. You probably took an order. You probably gave Jeff Bezos your order and you didn't even know it. I don't know about that. But still. Okay, seal.

Sharon Stone was working there. Dang. That is crazy. That's a good McDonald's commercial. Thank you. Wow. Okay. Most fun, lobsters peeing out of their head or lunch box?

Man, this is a tough one. That peeing out of the head made me laugh. The McDonald's is cool, but I'm going to pee it out of the head. Yeah, Morgan number two. Oh, man, gosh. All right, I'm going to go Morgan number two as well. Can you give me a sympathy vote there, Bung? Eddie, we're just not having fun with you.

All right. That's neat, but it's fun fact Friday. That's not neat fact Friday. All right. All right, here we go. Number three. Morgan. Okay, we all use toothbrush and toothpaste.

There's a name for the blob of toothpaste that sits on your toothbrush. You ready for it? Yeah. It's called a nerdle. Okay, with that dramatic laugh. No, that's not. I never thought of him. I know.

The name is funny to me. And now I'm going to be able to say that to my kids. Like, go, nerdle up your toothbrush. Well, now you're making it more fun when you've been a kid, in it. Nerdle up. Eddie? All right. So, we've all eaten eggos, right?

So, eggos were invented in 1953. They were called frozzles. Did you know that? That's a funny way. Because they were frozen waffles. So frazzles, but that didn't stick because the taste testers were like, this tastes more like eggs. Weird.

Let's call it Eggos. Mine's still called a nerdle, by the way. No. Wait, a fra. So what's the end of your fun fact? That it was called Frazzle, but they named after eggs. Yeah, awful, but it was named after eggs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you call them Eggos now because they taste more like eggs. If we're just going by fun, a frasel or a nerdle, I think I like frazzle as a word. Listen, they both are pretty dumb. I'm going to go with Eddie because I need a good. Yeah, thank you. I need a point. Amy? I mean, I'm playing with Mark and I'm talking.

You laughed really hard at that one. Lunch bugs? You know, Eddie, you need one for your car. Thank you. Thank you so much. All right, two to one. Thank you. Go ahead.

Number two. Eddie, your second fun fact. Guys, blue whales, they're humongous, but they are so big that a human, our size, can swim through their largest veins and arteries. We can swim through their veins? Can you imagine? Swimming through a blue whale's veins. That's how big they are. That's wild to think about.

Yeah, I know. And it's got a fun, huh? That may be one of the most fun facts in a long time. Come on. We can literally swim in a vein? Yes, of a blue whale. That's absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Morgan. All right. Armadillos. You see one across your street? Don't try and shoot it because their shells are bulletproof. A Texas man found this out because he shot at an armadillo and it ricocheted off the armadillo and hit him back. Oh, my gosh. Probably shot him with a BB gun.

Yeah, that's right. Probably not. Okay. That's good, though. I like that one. Amy. I mean, I guess I'll vote for Eddie once. Yeah.

I mean, maybe we'll see what the last one is. Vote with your heart here. A vote with my heart. Okay, Morgan, I'm going to do. You really want to shoot an armadillo? No, I didn't know. Shooting an armadillo is more fun to you than the bulletproof part than swimming in a wains, whale's vein? As someone who also delivers fun facts, the fun fact is more so that the armadillo shell is bulletproof.

Like, I had no idea. Not that I want to shoot. Whales vein. Yeah, you can swim in it. Isn't the whale's throat so narrow? Maybe humans can't even get through the throat. That wasn't my fun fact. I'm going, Eddie, whale vein.

Thank you. Lunchbox. It's not even close. It's the vein. I thought so, too. On the door, guys. All right, we're going down to the final fun fact for the championship. Here we go.

Number one. Oh, guys, you're going to love this. The average fart travels at the speed of seven miles per hour. That's fast. That's fun. Come on. Lips, that's for you. That's not even fair.

I feel like I just lost the guys. Okay. High heels were actually made for men. When high heels shoes first came into fashion in the 10th century, they were intended for men. And it wasn't even until the 18th century that women started wearing them. All right. Fun fact off. Amy.

Morgan. That's ridiculous. See, this is tough. This is tough. It is a fun. Lunchbox. Give it to Eddie. Yeah.

It was about a thing. The fart travel seven miles an hour. Did you know that, Amy? I did not. I also didn't know high heels were invented for men. It comes down to my vote. Come on, Bones, fart, right? Here's the thing, I don't care about high heels,

but I don't care about them much about farts either. But think of it. What do you mind? What did I smile more at? I got to go, Eddie. He's 2 and O, the Fun Fact Dog. Next week, he'll be facing Ramundo and Fun Fact Dog.

All right, play Eddie's song. Congratulations. There he is. How do you feel, Eddie? I feel good. Oh, I feel so good. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. This week on the show, Bobby got called out by a listener.

She had read in his book that he was going to have the specific person as his groomsman at the wedding and as his best man. So that obviously didn't happen because we learned that Eddie is his best man now. So if she called him out on it, it was really really. funny, but he also explained why that happened, why everything has changed in his life since writing his first book. So this segment's really cool, but before we get into it, Hillary, have you ever been a bridesmaid? I have, I think, three times. Three times, yeah, have you? That's a lot of, I mean, yeah, I've been a one, twice for both my sisters. Oh, yeah, one was my sister, and then the other two were my two childhood best friends. A lot of people getting married.

Yeah. in your life. Oh, I mean, this was like, the last time I was a bridesmaid, I think was, like, five years ago. Did you ever experience any, like, brides a little moments? No, thank the Lord. My two friends and my sister, my sister was so chill just about everything. And so were both of my best friends. Like, there was no, there was nothing.

I mean, one of my friends, she would get, like, upset about things, but not at us. like she got married in a church and they went and allow her to have secular music and so she was kind of she was very upset about that. Can you please explain what secular music? Oh, so secular music would be non-Christian music. Okay, so anything that isn't. Yeah, so if it's not like a hymn or, you know, a Christian song,

it's not allowed to be played at this church. Okay. And she was very upset about it. Like she almost wanted to change venues, but the reason she didn't was because her husband's parents got married there so it was kind of like a thing for her husband so what she ended up doing is she walked down the aisle to an instrumental of Beyonce song Halo and the church never knew they didn't know it was a biance song technically a hymn if it's an instrumental right um i mean not really but we'll go with it

i'm like relating the two and it doesn't even count yeah it's fine okay so no brideszilla moments but did you learn anything from these weddings that you don't want to have at yours if i ever get married um you will get married yeah maybe one day need a guy to come along um something i've learned i feel like just relax and enjoy the day because there's so many things that are out of your control in that same wedding we were the bridesmaids we were all sent down the aisle at the wrong time like you know how the groomsmen come out first and then you're supposed to walk down oh no we were sent out first so that all the groomsmen come out and look at us like like, why are all all standing here? And the bride was like, oh my gosh, like freaking out,

not happy about it. But that's something that's out of your control. And guess what? The wedding was great and it was perfect. So I feel like there's no need to be a bride zilla or a groomzilla because really the day is about you and your husband getting married. And that's all it should be. Your friends and family are there. You're having fun. So I don't know. I've just learned that whatever's going to happen is going to happen and you have no control. So I don't know. So reminding yourself to stay in the moment, hopefully. Yes. Stay present and don't worry about the small things.

Don't worry that you asked for white napkins and they gave you pink. Okay, so when you do get married and we're going to be best friends in and you're not staying in the moment, I'll be like, Hillary, I'm going to play this back and be like, you told me you wanted to stay in the moment. So here I am as you're wondering. Man, this is being recorded. Yeah, when the napkins are the wrong color, Morgan's going to be like, Hillary, remember that one time? back at whatever today's date is in 2021 when you said this. But you know what? It's going to make you laugh and you'll smile and then you will probably forget about it. So exactly. That's what I'm here

for. Totally agree. Okay. And we also have some really big weddings coming up. We have Mike D's wedding. We have Bobby's wedding. Are you like so excited? Are you nervous? I'm so excited. Okay, I'm nervous about Mike D's because I'm actually kind of in it. I'm reading the scripture and I haven't been told what I'm reading yet, which is fine. Like, it's going to be no biggie. But I am actually terrified. I haven't told him or his fiance, Kelsey, this, but I'm terrified of like being in front of people. Do you not like speaking in front of people? I used to be great at it, but I had one bad experience. And so now I'm like, oh, it stresses me out. So I really need to know, Kelsey, what verses I'm reading so I can start practicing. But yeah, I'm really excited for both of them,

more nervous for mics because I'm actually having to get up in front of people. Like even this morning I was thinking, because I'm trying about what I'm going to wear. And I was thinking when I'm walking up there, what if like my dress is tucked in my underwear, like my hair's messed up in the back and I don't know it. I won't let that happen. I'll be there. Well, you're going to have to sit like right next to me and when I stand up, you just make sure. What if I have like a sweat stain on the back of my dress? I got you. I thought about all this this morning.

So I'm just nervous about being in front of people and they're just being something wrong. I, because you can't mess up the word of God. Like, that's just not okay. You can't, you can't mess it up. And so what if I do? But technically, I would believe that God could say, yes, you can mess up. And you are very able to make mistakes. And I'll be okay.

I'll just think, you know what? I'm just going to start over. That's okay too. Forget what I just said. I'm starting over. The day will be filled with so much love, especially like Kelsey and Mike. They're so madly in love that there's going to be so much love in that room. It's not even going to.

Nobody's going to, even if you mess something up, nobody's going to be like, oh my gosh, this happened. Exactly. And we're going to have fun. Like, we're rooming together. We have a group of people rooming together. And it's just going to be such a fun day. Yeah, all the single ladies will be sticking together for both weddings. This is true.

Yeah, we didn't get plus ones for either one, which even if we did, I, there's nobody I would have invited. I would have been like, I don't want, I don't want plus ones because I'm not going to bring anybody. Yeah. I've never brought a plus one to a wedding ever, like, ever. I have. I have a few times, but I will, I mean, I will say, unless, like, I'm in a really dead serious relationship, weddings are, weddings are a little weird for me. I agree.

To, like, bring somebody. I mean, I'm kind of dating somebody right now. But, like, unless I were to be dating somebody for, like, a very long time seriously, I don't feel like they need to come to weddings. I just feel like that puts a lot of pressure on a relationship. I agree. And it elevates the entire situation instead of it just being. and like, hey, we're just dating.

We're having fun lives happening. And, you know, after you hit a year mark, I feel like a year mark is a safe bet to bring them to a wedding. Yeah, I think that's pretty good. That's kind of how I feel. Or, like, I mean, you know, six months. If you're, like, really dead serious and you're already, like, talking about marriage and moving in or whatever.

Yeah, then that's acceptable. Maybe that's when it's, like, officials. When you start talking about living together and, like, getting married and stuff, maybe that's when you're like, okay, I'll bring you around, like, my entire family, friends, everybody. Because it also could be a wedding where you, bring people to friends from like 20 years ago and you're like I have no idea how this is going to go right you know and it's the first person or first time that person's meeting everybody and it's not

like you can go around controlling all the conversations that are happening or you know I don't know there's just so many things so when you have to pay so much money too to go especially when they're destination wedding destination or like they have to come into town you know all the things like that's added expenses for somebody who doesn't even know the bride of room Yeah, I've never thought about that actually. So if I were invited to a wedding, which I won't be. But if I were and I didn't know the bride and groom and I had to pay, I'm like, you can go on your own, like, have fun.

I'm staying behind. I ain't paying that. I'm cheap, though. But see, I feel like you would pay for it if it's somebody that you're really serious about. That's my whole point. I would suggest a cheaper option. If it's cheaper driving, we're driving.

Well, yeah, but you'd still find a way to try and go. Yeah, I would try to go. And you would figure it out. But otherwise, I mean, having to pay for a flight. and hotels and you're like, I don't even know who these people are. Yeah, that's too much. Yeah.

I agree with you on that. So six months, maybe a year or just maybe whenever you're like official in your relationship, you should be bringing your plus one. Because otherwise, you can go and have like a girls night at the wedding, which is what Hillary and I are doing. That's what we're going to do.

That's what we're going to do. Yeah, for both weddings. We're going to have so much fun. I wonder if they're both going to do like, like the seating charts situations. Are we going to improve? meet and other like single people. Oh, maybe I didn't even think about that.

I was thinking I hope we're sat together, but I would assume they'd sit. You're like, I hope we sit together and I'm like, is there other single people? I mean, what if I got met at a table where I didn't know anybody? I'd be like, uh, just sitting here eating. I feel like in both cases, we would end up next to each other. Yeah, I don't think that either one of them would do that to us. But now that you say that, if Caitlin or Kelsey are listening to this and you know some single people come into your wedding, just go ahead and put them at mine at Morgan's table.

As long as you approve, like you vetted these people. and they're good ones. Go ahead and put them at our table. As long as they're good. If they're bad, don't put them here. No. But I don't think they have bad friends. I don't think so. I was just thinking like, I don't think they're going to invite bad people to their wedding. So we have nothing to worry about. We're okay. Oh, man. Okay. Well, that was fun. We just got like a lot of updates there on a whole lot of things. Oh, yes. But here you go. Listen to Bobby reveal another one of his groomsmen this week

and talk about why said groomsmen is not the best man. Carly in Missouri. Carly, how are you? Thank you for calling the show. I'm good. How are you, Bobby? Doing pretty good. What can I help you with?

Well, I've been a long-time listener, but I'm a little bit late to your bare-bones book. I'm just starting reading it. And it's kind of cool to hear your life way back then because I've been listening for years. But you talked about how if you ever got married, your best man would for sure be your friend, Courtney. So I just thought that was funny. I wanted to kind of call you out on that. Well, my best man is not Courtney. Breaking news.

Courtney is a groomsman, but he is not best man. I wrote that book probably five or six years ago, and although Eddie was one of my best friends then, I think Eddie has now pulled ahead in the power rankings to number one. I didn't realize that you wrote that in that book. Yeah. Huh. I mean, I guess I probably wrote it seven or eight years ago.

Yeah. Yeah. And you were probably two or three then. Sure. But now Eddie has pulled up to a strong number one. Courtney's obviously still up there, but he lives in Houston now, and we see each other about once a year. So Courtney is a groomsman, but he is not best man, although I did write in the book. I think when I told him, well, I met him. He was in Oklahoma at the time, and I went in.

And I was like, hey, Caitlin and I are in Tulsa, where she lives in Fort Gibson. And he was somewhere else. And I said, hey, he was in Oklahoma City. He said, meet us in whatever. And I give him his watch and has his name, you know, inscribed on it. And I say, hey, man, I want you to be a groomsman. And I think he was excited, but he was like, wait, I'm not the best man. He's like, but in the book, it says.

You promise, man! He opens the book. Page 132 says I'm the best man. Yes, yes, Carly. Thank you for calling that out because a lot of people have hit me on DM about that. But he is a groomsman, but he is not the best man. That goes to Eduardo, my friend here. That's funny.

All right. Thank you very much. Hope you have a great day. You too. Bye-bye. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. This week on the show, we brought on Justin Moore. He dropped a new album.

So he came on and talked all about it. Plus, a lot of other things, his first radio single, his kids, all the things. And we always love when Justin Moore stops by. So here we go. This is Justin Moore. Number four. The Friday morning conversation with Justin Moore. Hey, this straight out of the country album that just came out.

Is this a playoff straight out of Compton, straight out of everything? Or is it? Is it? No. you know it's funny somebody asked me that the buddy of mine asked me that the other day and i hadn't even thought about that um until he had asked me but um that's a good idea but no i it didn't come from that it was just the outer oh uttta where i was like i wonder if this is what that is but okay good to know hey Justin's got a new record out today you guys check it out um is it eight eight tracks

Is that what it is? It's eight new tracks. Yeah, a nine total with, we didn't have much being an acoustic track as well as the full track that you guys have at radio. And just, you know, in this world we're trying to just give folks different stuff, different content in so many different ways. That song to me kind of lent itself to a more simple track. Not that the original is super invents. evolved, but I don't know, it just showcased the lyrics and we thought, hey, this would be cool to do something a little different. Let's talk about live music for a second because you're back

on the road, May 29th, it looks like Colorado Springs. Man, how excited are you to go to work again? So excited. Man, obviously, it's, you know, there's been so many difficulties on so many people throughout this past 13, 14, 15 months, whatever it's been. And certainly, you know, a lot more serious things than not getting to go play live music but that being said uh you know feel so blessed to have the opportunity to get back out there and we don't really know in what capacity it's going to be but in any capacity we're looking forward to it and i think uh you know one of the lessons that i've learned out of many that i have learned throughout this whole thing is is not to take this for granted you know we all thought this was, you know, recession proof, what we all get a chance to do,

go up on stage and play live music, and certainly that's been proven otherwise. And so, you know, those long runs where we get a little crispy and go, golly, man, I just need to get home for a couple of days. And maybe we just ain't feeling this show tonight or whatever. There'll be a lot less of that, and we'll never take it for, granted again that's for sure Justin Moore is on with us he's got a new record out today called Straight Out of the Country

I was looking back at you know your history your first radio single came out in 2008 back that thing up it was co-written by Randy Houser do you ever play that live or have you just kind of stopped on that one yeah that one's Houser's fault I like to blame that one on him you know we hadn't played that in a long time Bobby you know that was the

I think that might have been the only single we hadn't gotten in the top 30 in our career. And so, you know, I think some people would remember it. And I think it kind of did its job. It kind of, it got us some attention early on in our career, which everybody's trying to get and cut through the noise, so to speak. And I think it kind of opened people up to my personality. I don't take myself too serious, et cetera, but it just wasn't a huge radio hit. I think it went to 38 and went back down in a hurry. And so we hadn't played it in a while. And fortunately, thanks to you guys at Country Radio, you know, we're at the point where we have to cut hits out of the show, which is just something that is just mind-blowing to me. And, you know,

we signed our record deal 14 years ago. And the fact that we've continued this journey for this long is a huge blessing and I guess if we had to throw something else in there we could throw that one in there but I don't know we just haven't in a while if someone holds up a sign that says play back that thing up does your band know it you can just launch into it or you just ignore the sign I don't know man to be honest with yeah and when we played our first show you know after this long drought, I didn't know if we'd know a damn thing, to be quite honest. So I've been impressed that we've known anything, but that one would be a chore probably to remember. Your next song after that went number one. How different was it feeling when Smalltown

USA hit? Did it fly up the charts or did it also take a while? No, no. It took almost a year. I think at the time that it hit number one, it was a record at the time. It was broken a couple times after that for how long it took. And, you know, those are a lot of sleepless nights because back then, you know, it was a whole different ballgame. If you have a couple of misses on singles in a row, you lost your record deal. Nowadays, you know, labels tend to stick with you even for a couple, two or three albums. But back then, you got a single or two, and if one of them didn't pop, it was over. And so I was thinking, well, if this one don't work, we're in major trouble.

And fortunately, for us it did. Like you said, it took a whole long time. But, you know, the fact that it rung the bell for us, regardless of how long it took, you know, set us on this path for sure. I see you have a guitar over there beside you. Is that thing tuned up? Yeah, well, it was when I tuned it while ago. If you're ever in a shot with me and I see a guitar, I'm going to have you grab it. Give me a little, just a little nugget of Small Town USA.

I know a little bit of it, yeah. A lot of people called it prison, and I was growing up. These are my roots, and this is what I love. Because everybody knows me, and I know them, and I believe that's the way we were supposed to live. Wouldn't trade one single day Small Town, USA Give me a Saturday night, my baby by my side A little Hank Jr. and a six-pack of light

No dirt road, and I'll be just fine. Give me a Sunday morning, that's full of grace, a simple life and I'll be okay here's small town USA Justin Moore Hey so Justin if you're somewhere and there's a guitar Do people ever just like look at you and go like come on man Just grab that guitar, just grab that guitar and play a couple

About everybody but my why She goes, do not grab that guitar Because she knows I won't, she can't get it out of my hands Jess we were talking on the show recently about this dad and he had a wedding fund for his daughter, and then she decided to elope. So he's just like, I'm going to spend the money on me

and go have a vacation since you don't want the money for a wedding. Are you working on any sort of fun for your kids? You know, you have some girls. I got a whole bunch of kids. So, yeah, we started all their college funds. You know, my oldest is 11 and my youngest is three, so they all have college funds started. Wedding, I'll give you my experience.

my wife's parents who paid for our wedding said we'll either give you X amount of money to start off and you guys can you know just do some quick something and then you'll be kind of set up for a little while at the time we didn't have a pot to pee in you know and um and of course we did this whole huge wedding and right after the wedding we go man what boy it'd be nice to have $20,000 to our name when we have $200 now or whatever the amount was. So think about that long and hard if that's an offer. But I've never heard of the dad of the bride saying I'll either pay for this or give you this or I'm using it.

That's a new one. Well, good to see you. I hope everybody checks it out. Straight out of the country from Justin Moore. You know what's going to be good. If you love country music, that's your guy. Justin, good to talk to you. and hopefully I'll see in real life real soon.

Likewise, buddy, we're pigs. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. I really loved this moment on the show this week, and a lot of you guys did too. The Fire Chief from one of our Tell Me Something Good Stories, heard the Tell Me Something Good Story on the radio, and then called in to talk all about it. And I don't know about you, Hillary,

but I got chills when he, like, we were kind and giving them a hard time for, like, having to rescue Guinea Pig. They were like, you know, is that a moment where you're kind of like, okay, do we go in there? Do we not? And he was like, no, look. Like, we either, we're going in no matter what and we're going to hopefully save these animals or at least give the family closure. And just everything he said, like I was sitting there. My whole body had chills. Like thinking about these firefighters risking their lives, not only for humans, but for all the crazy animals that we have in our lives. You know? Me and you are huge, huge animal lovers. And when I heard that, I was like, heck yeah, go in there and save those guinea pigs. I don't care what kind of animal it is. Like, please go in there and save them.

I think that's so awesome. But yeah, it was super cool that he was listening to our show. And he called in at like the perfect moment. So, yeah, he's like, what? Wait, I think that's my fire department. They're talking about me. I love the story. There have been another moment on the show.

You and I have both worked for the show for several years now. Yeah. Has there been a moment on the show that you can recall, like, from the top of your head that gave you chills? So this one's kind of like, it's sweet, but it also kind of had like a sad moment to it. And I don't know why this stuck with me. Like, it's so random. But I remember when Adam Hambrit came on the show. And I think it was his grandfather who had just passed.

And the whole reason he was coming on the show was Bobby was surprising him that he was going to get to. play on the Grand Ole Opry for the very first time. And he had his mom call in. Bobby had Adam's mom call in. And I wasn't sure what his reaction was going to be. Like, you know, some of these country guys, like, they're tough and they're like, oh, we can handle whatever. But he started crying. And I just got chills because he was talking about how, you know, that's something his grandfather would have loved to have seen. And I relate because my grandfather passed away when I was 14 and he never got to see me, you know, be in radio and he always knew I wanted to move to Nashville and do something like this. And it just gave me chills to see that he was going to get that

moment that his grandfather always wanted for him. He was going to get to play for the first time on the Grand Ole Opry and his family was going to get to come and his mom was on the phone. And I mean, I saw him afterwards kind of a little behind the scenes, but he was in Bobby's office after like FaceTiming with his wife just crying still. And that moment for some of reason just really stuck with me and it just gave me chills because I'm like to us we thought oh it's just you know an artist another artist announcement we're going to tell him that he's performing at the grandal opera I had no idea that it was going to have that much impact on me and a lot of our listeners and it just it gave me chills when I heard that I totally had forgotten about that moment until you

just said it but it was it was a really emotional moment it was so emotional and take it to be a part of it too. You know, it wasn't even like we were just doing the announcement. We were part of that story for him. And that's what's cool about our jobs is, you know, most people like, oh, your jobs are so cool. You get to see celebrities and you get to meet them and talk to them. And, you know, that's just like one person of our job. Like our job, we get to help so many people and we get to be a part of a lot of huge moments for people. And I think that is so cool. And those moments are. always stick with me. I never, I never forget them, like listener moments or artist moments like that. Like, it's just, it's so cool. No, I love that. And I mean, I think it reminds me of the one

that would be for me, which was also a really, like, sad time. And I mean, it was after the festival in Las Vegas, the shooting. And we had a lot of artists come in and perform, but there was one performance in particular that just like hit me in the gut and it was maran morris performing love first hate love over hate or love hate you can't exactly remember the song title because i was crying so hard i'm gonna look it up while i'm talking about i know i totally blanked because i know what song you're talking about dear hate dear hate yes our shirts that we did were love over hate that's why i'm thinking of that but yes and she performed and it it hit me in my gut like i just got chills again even thinking about it I cried. I mean, I cried when I went home after that. That day was really heavy. And then for her to come in and perform a song that was just so emotionally wrecking. It was a lot. So, I mean, but both moments, you know, inspired by sad things, but came out some really also really cool moments. Yeah. So I would encourage you guys to go watch both of those. They're all, all those kind of videos are up on bobbybones.com, but you might cry. I mean.

You probably will. Yes, but I think too, like, yes, they were sad, but in a way, both of those moments kind of brought healing. Like with Adam, that was probably, I don't know, like a little bit of peace for him in a hard time. And same with the Marin performance. That was right before I started the show, but I was working in the building. But that probably brought a lot of peace for a lot of our listeners listening because that was such a heavy day for country music fans and everybody in Nashville and music really does heal like it's crazy and if people say that it's so cliche and can be cheesy but it really does it like brings a sort of peace for people and that's why I love it so much

no and it absolutely did I mean I I remember that entire show the few few days after that show like very vividly there's a lot of things that like when you're working in your day to day life you just kind of forget until somebody maybe brings it back up but this is one of those moments that just I'll be sitting there sometimes and it just like comes front to mind again and I'm like wow that was really hard really difficult very heavy everything about it like I just remember waking up to what we were seeing on the news to what I had to start posting on social media like and it still to this day will make me cry yeah it's giving me chills right now just even thinking about it because I remember where I was when I found out I was still awake I hadn't fallen to

sleep yet and I didn't sleep at all that night and because I remember, you know, seeing all the news on Twitter and I just could not believe it. I don't, I was just watching all of the, all the information they were finding out like being tweeted like live of, it was just crazy. I was watching videos and at that point you didn't know how many people had died or, you know, if you just didn't know anything. So yeah, it was, that was crazy and such a hard time for everybody. Well, if you're, you know, you're feeling your emotions, I encourage you to go watch both of these things that have. happened on our show. But then, but before you do that, um, listen to this fire chief. He calls in. And it was just a really cool moment. He called in at the perfect time. And he shared his side

of a story that, you know, we otherwise talk about good stories every day. So yeah, listen to this, get the chills. I promise. You'll love it. Number three. Let's go. Good morning. Welcome to the show. We got a good one. Let me say this first. Morning studio. Morning. Let me go over to Indiana where on the phone is fire chief Robert wanting to talk about, uh, tell me something good that he heard. on the show. Hello, Fire Chief Robert. Welcome to the program. Hey, Bobby. How are you doing this morning? Doing pretty good. Thank you for calling. What would you like to say?

Well, we were sitting out in a debate. I was like you in the fire station and was listening to Amy, tell me something good. And we just caught the tail end of it. I think you were talking about our fire department where we went on a run where a little 10-year-old alerted to her family that there was a fire there. We got there. We were able to make a grab of two guinea pigs and save them. And it was just pretty awesome to hear our names mentioned up there because of the bravery of this little 10-year-old. That was just pretty awesome. I just wanted to say thanks for that.

Wait, that was your fire department? Yeah. Y'all saved Smoors and Scarlet? Yes, yes. Mores and Scarlest. Ironic name for one of them, obviously. That's not so cool. That's so cool. That is so cool. The story, if you missed the story, a little girl in Indiana saved her family when a fire broke out in their garage.

Her name was Anna. She's 10. She was getting ready for school. There was a strange noise coming from the garage. And so the family were like, crap, but they didn't grab their pets. Luckily, Huntertown Fire Department, and that's where you're from, right? Fire Chief Robert? That is correct.

There we are. Yeah, is this the chief? Like, at the end, I shared a quote. Robert Boren. This is Fire Chief Robert Boren from the story. We got somebody famous on the phone. Wow. I loved your quote of just reminding people that if someone senses something's not right,

like lean into that. I'm paraphrasing, but you know what I mean? Oh, yeah, definitely. I mean, it's amazing. And sometimes we want to blow things off. And sometimes our children are more intuitive about what's going on around us than what we are. So we just need to listen up and pay attention and everyone can get out safe. Did you know this story made the news?

So I put it on Facebook and then it kind of made local news, but I didn't know it made national news. And all of a sudden, I'm listening to Bobby Bones. And I'm like, holy cow, that's us. Yay. This is awesome. I know. How about this? Who was on this call?

How many, like what guys were out there saving s'mores and? Scarlet. Actually, the crew that's working today, ironically. So there's a big group of us, and there was about two other departments that joined us also. So it was a big group effort. Well, how many people are in your crew that are working today that were there? Today, there's actually five of us. Okay.

Here's what we're going to do. The five that are there with you right now, you plus five, we're going to send you guys some pimping joy stuff to your firehouse because we just appreciate what you do, that you listen to the show, that you went in and saved these animals, what you do every day. Like, let's not let that be lost, too. You guys are risking your lives. So we're going to put you on hold. Yeah, we'll send some hats. And just appreciate you. We'll put you on hold, get your address,

and send some stuff at the fire station. How's that? Well, we appreciate it. Thank you so much. This is awesome. We really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing the story. Yeah.

Thank you. I feel like somebody famous called in. I know. Honestly, this is cool than when Tim McGraw calls us. Let's be honest. Right. Because if we tell me something good, when we do it, tell me something good,

like obviously we really are shouting these people out, but the fact that the people were shouting out actually hear it, that's awesome. Now remember after the tell me something good, though, we question whether it's worth going in and save a guinea pig. Do you remember that? No, I... Well, let's ask him.

How did y'all feel about that? He's here. Let's ask him. Were you like a guinea pig? And rabbits, too. So at first, we were like, man, we don't know if there's much hope, but, you know, we still have to try because if anything, the family can have closure if it wasn't successful, when we found them, we found up that they were alive, the tears of joy that were

running down these little girls' face. The dad, like, hooting and hollering and just screaming at the top of his lungs out of excitement. You know, it might just be guinea pigs to someone else, but for that family, it was everything. And that's why we do what we do. It's not the small things or the minute things. It's because for someone, that's a major thing. So we have to do whatever we can for anyone at all times. Dang.

Dang, I wish I wouldn't question the game today. Right. And I wasn't saying, no. I just wonder if the guys are like, we've got to go on for Ganybeck, excuse me, Paul. Well, yeah, he just said they were like, ooh, but also, I got to say, is that the first time y'all have ever administered oxygen to a little tiny animal like that? We've done it for cats and dogs, but we've never done it for guinea pigs. Love it. Well, let us say it's been a real treat, real honor to hang out.

Do you still have the go-tee? I'm looking at pictures of you right now. You have a cool fireman go-tee. You still have that? Oh, yeah, of course. I can't lose that. I'm a firefighter. I agree.

Like, when I see a firefighter, he'd better have some facial hair, or I'm worried. All right. Hey, appreciate you. Thank you for doing what you do every day. We're going to put you on hold real quick, Ray, and we'll get his information. There he is. Tell me something that comes alive. Hope you have a great morning. Thank you for calling.

Thank you. You too. All right. How cool is that? I love it. That's so cool. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. All right.

Well, coming in at number two, we had a feud happen with Bobby and an artist. An unexpected feud. We didn't really anticipate that this was going to have. happen when we originally put out the dumbest hits list, okay? We put out this list for like, hey, these are cool songs, but also kind of dumb. That was the whole point of it. Well, you know, Baja men saw that their song was number one and they were not a fan. So a feud broke out, kind of, I mean, they just kind of tweeted at Bobby and said something, which you can see on the blog at Bobbybones.com and you can hear it kind of in this segment. But Hillary, I want to know

what do you think is the dumbest song? I feel so bad even saying this because I know she She got bullied for it, and this is nothing personal at all towards her. I have no issues with her, but Friday by Rebecca Black. Oh, yeah. It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Yeah, that one. Which is like crazy too because it's so catchy.

Like, it's stuck in your head. But it's dumb. Every time I write Friday, I'm like, Friday. It's stuck in my head. Whatever. Is it, um, oh, how does it go? It was like party and party or party and party. Yeah.

Like, the whole thing is, yes, it's. sketchy but if you really sit down and look at the lyrics like yeah just not good but i do feel bad she got bullied for that yeah no that's never good i mean there's one thing to say it's not you know it's a dumb song but another like really go out people for it yeah what's your dumb song oh it's ricky she bangs oh yeah i just think it i mean like he repeats she bang she bangs over and over again i'm like what was the purpose of this song that's what i don't understand like I don't. I feel like I'm always the naive person, though, who doesn't understand things.

But yeah, I don't get that one. I have no doubt that it meant to be like some kind of NSFW song that, you know, people singing and whatever. And it is catchy, you know? She banged. Like, it'll get stuck in your head if you listen to it. But it's really stupid. Does it have other lyrics in it besides that? You know, let's look them up.

She bangs. It's Ricky Martin lyrics. Okay. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There's a bunch. But, I mean, I've, I mean, I've. believe it is in another language. Oh, so we, oh, okay, that's dangerous territory to get in.

So, because we don't know what they're talking about and what they're. Yeah, I'm not even going to try that. I will tell you a funny story. When I was in an Uber, this is pre-pandemic. Oh, Lord. And I was really, really obsessed. Let me see if I can find it. Katie Perry and, oh, what's his name? Oh, Mr. Miami. What's his name? Pitbull. Pit bull. Yeah, I was like, why do we keep doing this? I know. I can't remember. things but when you're put on the spot you can't think of them there was a song that and now i'm not going to remember i mean like katy perry and pitbull did together so pit bull had i believe it was pit bull had originally done the song and then katy perry did like a new version with him on it yeah

positive it's it was one of these songs that had like Spanish and english in it right okay and it was my favorite song i had it on repeat at the time like on every song so i was in the uber and he's like you want to hear any song i was like yes this song is my favorite song well he spoke Spanish. And so I was like, hey, can you translate this song for me? Because I really don't know what I'm singing. And he translated it. You know, Mori was a little drunky on this drive home. And I was like, when I got home and I was like, I probably shouldn't have asked that poor man to translate this song. Oh my gosh. Poor guy. I'm just like picturing the awkwardness right now and that poor man. To be fair, he was laughing. Like, he was laughing at me because I'm like, hey, can you translate this song? I knew most of it because I knew that you. English parts and I did know a few of the Spanish words, but there was just a few of them in there

where I was like, hey, I really don't know. If you don't mind, I just want to make sure I'm not like saying anything bad is really what I was worried about. I understand that, yes. But it had never occurred to me until I was sitting there drunk in Uber that I should probably understand what the lyrics are. I really want to know what song it was now. I know. It's somewhere on here. I mean, there's- Just search pit bull. I'm going to be honest with you. I have a fascination with Spanish songs. Like, I will listen to them when I work out. Not even kidding you. That's cool. Like I, they give me such good energy. They're very, like, upbeat and very happy.

Like, they could be singing about something very depressing. And again, we don't know. But they're just happy songs. Like, they do put you in a good mood when you hear them. Yes. I'm, I'm going to be so mad at myself because I'm going to remember this at some point. It's going to come on and be like, yes, this is the best one. It's not the J-Lo one, is it?

I don't know. This is going to bother me for days. I'm going to find it and be like, oh, yeah, it was. It's Katie Perry and Daddy Yank. and Daddy Yankee It wasn't Pitbull Katie Perry and Daddy Yankee And it's called Khan Kalma

You probably heard it Because if you've been in the car With me at the point that I love the song I listened to it for like three months straight I can't think of it That song Maybe it'll be one of my I do my little daily walks on Instagram

And add a new song Maybe I'll add it But yeah it was that song So lesson learn don't ask a stranger to ask a stranger to translate something for you. No, yeah, that was probably not a good idea. And this poor man, too, if I remember correctly, I don't even think he was like fluid in Spanish. But he was like, oh, yeah, a good song, but he kind of looked at me funny when I said it. was my favorite song. So that's why I was like, can you, did I say something bad? Did I do something

wrong? Like, I was really concerned that I had like done something and he was like, no, no, no, but it's a little dirty. And I was laughing. Oh, bless. Oh, bless. Awkward. Yeah. So that's what I do when I'm drunk in Uber's pre-pandemic. I'm sure it's only going to get worse when this all comes back and I can be drunk in Uber's again. Oh my gosh. Yeah, well, we'll wrap on that because you guys don't need to hear any more of my drunk stories. We'll move on. Here is Bobby talking about his potential feud with the Baham Men. Number two. The feud that no one expected in the world of pop culture.

Me versus the Bahama men. Did you guys see this? No, what happened? Well, this is what happened, and I wasn't mean anything bad by it. I listed the five dumbest songs of all time. I don't think having dumb stuff is bad. We do a lot of dumb stuff on this show. I think sometimes people just want dumb stuff.

And I said, these are really catchy big hits, but it's getting dumb songs. There are dumb movies that I love. Old school. That's a dumb movie. It's great. And I said, hey, here's my five dumbest songs, and I listed them. And then they hit me back on Twitter yesterday. You write a song that pays the bills for the next 20 years then.

And I said, hey, dumb stuff can make money. I do dumb stuff. There's an art to it. But let's not act like it's Shakespeare serious. People like dumb, thankfully. That's what you responded? Yes. Well, and then did they reply back to your response?

I didn't look. Oh. I get out of toxic situations. Okay, but also, the tone you read their reply, do you think they meant it in that tone? Sounded like it. You wrote the song that pays the bills for the next 20 years? You mean like that? I don't know if they were like sarcasticity like, hey, dude, you write a song that pays the bills for the next one year.

Like they're challenging me? Like kind of more just sarcasm. Like, we get it. We are dumb. But, hey, it's been paying the bills. I don't know. I'm just reading things is hard. because you don't know the tone.

But they wrote you in all caps. Anyway, oh, you. Sorry. All caps makes a big statement in tone. I wasn't being insulting. I love dumb stuff sometimes. The end. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

Of course, coming in at number one, Amy was back this week after she took some weeks off for some personal things going on. But she shared everything that happened while she was out. got really emotional and I really related to Amy in some of these moments and I'm sure a lot of our listeners did. I'm not sure. I know that it happened because you guys showed an outpouring of love and support for her on our social media.

So listen to this. It may just be exactly what you need to hear this speech. Number one. When your dad passed away, I went on the air and I said, hey, Amy's dad died. Just kind of gave everybody an idea of what happened to you. I said she said she'd coming back in two days. And I was like, I don't think she should come back in two days. And then...

Yeah, I don't think that was realistic for me. Just because just for... And not that there's so much happening in my life that I think it's been known for at least to listeners that have been listening all the time. Like for several months now, even the end of last year. There's just a lot happening. And my dad dying is probably the last thing I was thinking I would add to my list, especially because he had literally just moved in with me. And I was excited about that time. Like, just totally unexpected turn.

of events, which now I'm thankful, you know, we had one full night with him at my house. Like the whole process of moving him in. We had a caregiver. She worked for a day. Like just so many things now, but I think maybe he needed that. Maybe his body was kind of had some stuff going on that we didn't even know of. And he needed that night with us and some special memories. And then, yeah, I had to end up calling an ambulance. And then he was in the hospital. But honestly, when the ambulance was loading him up. He was like, love you. And I was like, love you. I'll probably pick you up tomorrow. They're going to get your blood pressure. Like, we'll figure it out. They'll get you good. And, you know, I'll see you tomorrow. And that night, he went on life support. I never

talked to my dad again. And, you know, that was just something. I was still in denial, though, even though the doctor was like, hey, you should call siblings. Like, I have a sister and a half brother and a half sister. He's like, I think they should come. You know, well, we don't know. he could turn around and I'm thinking, what? So I am still working at this point, still coming in, and I think I'm in denial. And then I found out later, I guess my sister had texted you. I didn't know that at the time. But I think she texted you like, I don't think Amy should work anymore.

And I said, I've been telling Amy not to work. Right. And I was like, what? I didn't realize the severity. And being that he was on life support and his body was kind of declaring that it was time, we, we had to make the tough decision, me and my three other siblings. All of his kids were gathered around him. And we, after several days, we even put it off a day.

We were going to do it one day. And they were like, oh, we can't do it. So we had one more day with him and then removed him from life support. And, but his body was ready. Like it was, it felt right. And the hospital we were at, they were amazing. I've never been through anything like that ever. I mean, I was with my mom for her final breath, but she hurt.

She, it was natural. Well, I mean, I guess his was too, but she wasn't on any kind of life support. The cancer had kind of taken over. But then reliving this with my dad was a powerful moment. And, you know, we, I even told Bobby this, like we had a playlist going and it was just crazy because my favorite song in the world and my dad's is George Strait Amarillo by morning. and we had the playlist on shuffle, and the songs are shuffling through.

We had no idea when the doctor was, like, actually doing the final thing that would lead him to a final breath. And Amarillo by morning finished, and then the next song kind of started for a second, and then the nurse came in and said, hey, I just want to jell to know he's taken his final breath. And we were all just, like, you know, there with him,

and it was super emotional, but we were like, how fitting that he would, I mean, do you know how many times? two-step to that song with my dad and that we just kind of all pictured him like two-stepping his way into heaven and um you know then after that I think the reality of him being gone set in I went back home and of course I had his new bedroom and everything set up and my family and friends like you know people that went into action and they're like we need to move all this out let's get this back you know like this is too much memory and then with all the things happening in my life kind of

some that people know about, some that people don't. Like everything just, I realized if I don't maybe take some sick days and some vacation days, like I was talking to work and talking with you and I'm like, how can we make this happen? Like, I think I need to go some, go do some like intensive type therapy stuff just so that I can be better and not, you know, let this all completely implode at some point. So I realize not everybody has that type of time, and I'm super grateful for it, and I'm thankful to listeners that were checking in, and I wasn't on social media at all, but I would hear from other people and get different notes or emails.

And yeah, I have a lot of gratitude for the time, and I went, and I got some healing from the trauma and just some other stuff, and hopefully I'm back a better person, and I still have a lot of work to do, but I just feel for anybody out there that's going through a lot, whether it's one thing or multiple things at once, like, I hope you know that you're not alone, and I hope that you have someone you can talk to and that you can get through it because I feel like I am making my way, I'm like shaking while I'm talking, making my way to the other side of some hard stuff. And yeah, I just hope I can show up for my job, for my family, be a mom, for my friends. and but show up here because I feel like part of our responsibility of having this platform is

sharing some of our story, the good times and the bad, and then and showing up for people that also might be going through something hard and giving them that hope. And so I'm thankful I had that time for self-exploration and I'm back. I think and I can get through this without, I can come into work. What some people don't know is sometimes like I was, do you all remember that day right before I kind of left, we were doing something and I was laughing. Yeah, you laughed until you cried, then you walked out of the room. Right. And my laughter

turned to tears. And then there was something else. That wasn't on the air, by the way. That wasn't on the air, but we were recording like a commercial or something and I messed up. I didn't even know I messed up. But you're like, Amy, you read that totally wrong. And I was like, no, I did it. And then I looked at it and I did. And I was laughing and then the laughter turned to tears. And that was a

thing that I realized like, oh, wait, something's not right with me. and then there was an emotional time right after when my dad was on life support where I should have been crying and I couldn't stop laughing. So that, you know, that was another sign of like, I'm, there's a lot going on. And I'm also reading a book called The Body Keeps the Score. Highly recommend it. But our bodies know and they can tell us when maybe we've got like a lot of different things

going on and it's going to manifest and show up in different ways. And I don't want mine to manifest and to negative things. I want to try to reframe some of it and it's a lot of work and I know that it's hard. But yeah, again, just want to offer that hope for people because I finally feel like I can laugh and laugh and then cry and cry and not have my emotions cross. But if they do, it's okay. I'm human. Well, I'm glad you're back. Thank you.

And I just rambled for a really long time. I'm sorry. You get your space to ramble sometimes. Yeah. I'm glad you're back. Yeah. You're always welcome to not be back. you know, I think the hardest thing with you now is telling you to stay home because that was the original conversation.

I was like, hey, take weeks off. And you said, no, I'm coming back in two days. I was like, I don't think you need to do that. You know, like I'm coming. I said, okay, fine. Can't force you. Well, I think I was using work as a distraction too. And so I think a lot of us can do that. But yeah, my other piece of encouragement would be if you have amazing people around you that can fill in for you and and allow you that time. Like, don't fight them on it. See that as a message of like, oh, maybe they're on to something. They may be. see something from 30,000 feet that I don't see. And maybe you do need to practice your breathing and take a walk or go do some intense therapy, whatever it looks like for you. Well, glad you're back. Thank you. You're very loved here. And one day at a time. Yeah. We've both been through it. I know. Sucks. I know. But much weaker people have been through much worse and gotten through it wonderfully. And we'll follow their footsteps. Yeah. I'm excited to see. I know that, Yeah, my dad and my mom both.

I mean, but my dad most recently, he would not want me, you know, feeling sad for him. He had a great life and he loved what we do. Like, he loved the show. I think he was, like, so excited to, like, be at the house and be a part of life, which included a lot of what we get to do. And one of the last people to see him was actually Karen Fairchild when she came over. That was his last full day at the house and she met him and was super sweet and kind to him. and I don't know.

I was excited for him to be a part of my life. But that's okay. He got that one day and it was awesome. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

Owning a home comes with a lot of things nobody really prepares you for, including yard care. Sunday is a company trying to make that part easier. They start with a soil test and climate data to build a yard plan tailor to where you live, then ship everything directly to your door. No guesswork, no dragging bags of fertilizer.

And instead of harsh chemicals, Sunday uses simple, nutrient dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses, and iron. Everything hooks up to a hose, which honestly sounds like my speed. If your yard feels more stressful than satisfying, Sunday's approach makes a lot of sense. Go to get sunday.com to get your free custom yard analysis. That's getsunday.com. A better help ad.
