Happy Fourth of July weekend. excited to be back with you guys for another best bits. And this weekend, I am joined by a fan favorite, Mr. Eddie. Yeah.

Not Mr. Producer Eddie. Mr. Eddie. I like it. It feels like Mr. Rogers almost. Am I a Mr. to you? Yeah. How does that make you feel? Just being honest.

I mean, I don't know. You know, like I struggled with it before because I've always felt like I'm not that old, but I do have four kids. I do have a big responsibility with that. Like, I don't know. I just like, I don't know. I'm getting used to it now. Like, I'm a mister.

I'm an older dude. I also don't take it as like a negative connotation because I kind of like play around with words now. And when I say mister, it's just more of like a more playful way of saying your name than it is like you're a mister. So would you call someone your own age, mister? Yeah. Like I might just be like messing around with somebody and just be like, oh, mister. Yeah. Like it's like a nickname kind of thing.

I treat it now. I'm just like more of the like when I see like my kids' friends, they're always like, hey, Mr. Garcia. Like whatever. Oh, see, that's weird. That's really weird, man. When you use, like, the last name, a very formal version of it. Yeah. Whereas what I'm saying, like, Mr. Eddie.

Yeah. It's not like I'm saying it formally. It's so weird when people start calling you Mr. Like, and they're really, really young. Yeah. And they are genuinely saying it because you're a mister to them. And yeah, and that's cool because I am one of those people to them. I am my, what do you call?

An elder. I'm an elder to them. They're tiny. They're little people. You've been elder and elder versus millennial for like five years. I know. It's been a bit. I know.

But okay, well, we got things to talk about. Eddie's joining me this weekend, which I'm excited about. And it's going into Fourth of July. So we'll talk about some Fourth of July plans too. Yeah. But we got other things to start off. Starting off with our number seven bit lunchbox, he's all the way at the bottom. And I just have to take that little dig, you know?

Yeah, he deserves to be at the bottom. The very bottom. The very bottom. The back. He wants us to have a show drive off, which is going to be interesting when this happens. And I'm really excited to see the outcome. I hope he loses. Are you nervous about it?

I'm really not because I'm genuinely not a bad driver. I really am not. But according to him, you're really bad. Let me tell you something. Lunchbox left out details when he shared this story about me holding my phone. I had just gotten a brand new iPhone. It did not have a case on it. So I was holding it because I didn't want to put it in my phone holder that I already have,

that I use all the time because I didn't want the brand new phone to be scratched. And would you trust Lunchbox with a brand new phone with no case? No chance. So that's why I wouldn't let him hold it. See, that makes more sense. Yes, I don't just hold my phone when I'm driving. It's actually normally always in the holder that's on there. I just, in this one day that he chose to ride with me, that's what happened.

How's your car doing, by the way? Is it good? Yeah, cars going great. I heard something like suspension or something. You're worried about your suspension being broken? Well, I had to go take my car in because I'm about to go on a road trip. And my dad always makes sure I take my car in, especially when I'm driving by myself. That's such a dad thing to do.

I love it. He's like, you have to get this done. I was like, I really don't want to. It sounds terrible. He's like, just go do it. I took it in and something that was going on in the bottom. I had to have it replaced, but it wasn't too bad. It's like 100 bucks.

Oh, that's great. Yeah. If I ever take my car in and they say it's 100 bucks, I'm like, yeah, do it. Oh, yeah. I was like, take it. And it was leaking a little bit. So it is a good thing. I took it in.

It needed to get some work done. But it was not too bad. It just, I had to sit there for a while, which sucks. Because my muffler has fallen off, like, completely. And so I went under- Are you hitting curbs? Potholes. It's not curbs.

Morgan, this city is peppered with potholes. Yeah, they are. Everywhere you go. And every time my car hits a pothole or I run over a pothole, it's like, and the whole bottom shakes. And so I went down there and I looked at it. It's only the very back part of the muffler where it's like, where it connects, it's kind of rusted out.

And so it disconnected. So it's not held up in the back. So I got a clothes hanger. And because this is what we do. You pulled a dad DIY in my culture. We like figure stuff out. I think this is just a dad thing. Honestly, I don't even know it's a culture thing.

We figure it out how we can temporarily fix this cheaply. And I did a clothes wire, whatever, a hanger. And I tied it back up. And it's good for the most part. It's still now what the problem though is that when the clothes hanger rubs the muffler. it's got a real high-pitched squeak. You're the squeaky guy driving down the road? So I'm really squeaky guy driving down the road.

And I don't think it's an expensive fix. I'm like you, I don't want to go take time to go fix it. Oh, there is possibly nothing worse than having to sit and get your car service. I hate it. I hate it. And it always takes long and you feel bad because you're getting mad that it's taking so long, but like you know it takes that long. You just hate waiting.

I know. And then you hate making people come get you. So then you do wait. It's a whole thing. Yeah. That happens. Because nobody's going to wait in that waiting room. That's the most sad.

There's nothing in the car shop waiting rooms. There's nothing in there. Well, so I bring my laptop and I work and I bring Remy with me. So we just sit in there because I have to go like an hour away. So nobody's going to come get me. I'm definitely not going to take an Uber back home for an hour. Then it is a whole thing. So I have to make like a day of it.

I'm like, okay, this is my coffee shop for today. I'm working in here. Remi's with me. I got my lunch, my snacks. That's your Starbucks. I like takeover in their little area. Genuinely. I was like five hours, so I was like, I got to take over.

But, you know, that's, okay, I have follow up questions though with the potholes. Are you, when I'm driving and I see potholes, I always try to avoid them, but sometimes it's, it's like Mario Kart with bananas. Like sometimes you just can't. You can't avoid it? No, especially the long ones. But do you always attempt to avoid it? Always. But here, dude, this is crazy.

I realize this the other day. So this is how robotic we are in our lives. Like, every day we do the same thing, right? We go here. If somebody wanted to stalk us. or stock me, they would know exactly where to find me. Yeah, pretty easy. Oh, pretty easy.

But here's the deal. So I don't get any ideas, by the way, please don't stock Eddie. Yeah, don't do that. But I realize that I change lanes at the exact same time to exit the interstate every day. Oh, my God, you're that much of a pattern? I hit, but I'm not thinking about it. It's, it's, what do you call it when you do something without thinking? Subconscious.

Oh, okay. I'm subconsciously driving in the middle because when I drive, Let me ask you, when you drive in the interstate, what lane do you usually pick? If you're going a while. Oh, always the left lane? The fast left lane? I want to go fast. See, I'm kind of, I don't want to go too fast, so I'll go the second to the left.

So like not the left one all the way, but the one next to it. That's usually my, that's my coast. Well, that's a good place. Normally I'm there. If I'm not passing, you know, I'm listening to the law. I got to be in the middle lane. But yes, I get what you're saying. I'm cruising in that lane.

And then when my exit comes up, I guess I'm so robotic that I hit my, my, my, signal light and start changing lanes the exact same time because I usually daydream when I drive like because oh Eddie well I mean there's no reason to like focus everyone's just on the interstate Eddie you're going to be the worst driver on the show no no no if I'm being tested I won't daydream but you know when I'm daydreaming I'm just kind of like oh there's the exercise sign I start clicking dick dick dick dick and I hit the same dumb pothole every single day and that's what snaps me out of my day I'm like, oh, I hit that pothole again. So you're saying you're doing the same habit and you hit the same pothole instead of knowing that it's there and avoiding it.

And so as of late, I've been like, uh-uh, not today pothole. I am going to think about this pothole and I'm going to switch lanes sooner. And then I do. And then I see the pothole. I'm like, ha-ha, that I won. You're having a fight with a freaking pothole. Fix the potholes. There are so many potholes in the city.

Well, this is why we don't get income tax, Eddie. You got to take your picture. Is that right? I mean, it has something to do with it. Oh. Like if we get income tax, they have more money to spend on things. That's state tax. All I know is every time I've brought up potholes, everybody's like, well, we're not income tax.

So like there's a tradeoff. Don't ask me. I think more taxes. You know what you're talking about. But maybe. I mean, they have to do something. I will say this is not me. This is just things people have told me.

At the bar? Yeah, probably. I'll tell you what the problem is. But I think it's all taxes. They all go end up into. similar phases within the state government and then they determine how they go. And so I think because we don't have a surplus of taxes because they don't give us one, there has to be some kind of tradeoff for us, right?

For us not getting taxed. Still don't think you know what you're talking about. But it sounds cool. It sounds cool. You might be right. Do you know what causes a pothole? The ground shakes. We get like a little mini earthquake.

Earthquick, the size of a pothole. Just like in that one little area. No. No. I have no idea. Okay. So there are leaks. Wait, you've like looked into this?

Oh, yeah, of course. I'm like, what is this thing? So water seeps into the pavement. Okay. After a rain. And then it freezes. And so that when it freezes, it turns into ice and that breaks the pavement. So it is kind of like an ice earthquake.

No. It's not an earthquake. An ice earthquake. No, the ice freezes and it breaks the pavement. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. But also, why are those very specific spots?

And it's not just those specific spots. It's that they keep recurring in those because when they fix them, they still have little holes in them. So the water seeps in the same place. So that pothole is probably like 100 years old. So continuing to fix it really doesn't fix. That's maybe why they don't want to fix it because it's just going to come back. Maybe, but why make your bed? You're just going to get, you're just going to mess it up again.

I really like making my bed, though. It changes your whole world. It does. Fixing the potholes would change a lot of people. A lot of our worlds. Okay, we're going to get off. We're going to get off potholes. But it's funny that you mentioned this because I wanted to ask you,

I've been getting a bad omen that keeps repeating in my life, and I'm just really not sure why it's happening. So I want to know if you've had any bad omens and maybe it's your pothole. But I keep finding a dead bird in my yard. Like every six months, it's just, and I hate dead animals. Like, it literally makes me cry, anxious. I go through a whole thing. And I, like, freak out picking them up.

And when I find these dead birds, it's just, it really, like, ruins either my whole day or my whole week, depending on the scenario. But I always, like, bad luck almost always follows it or bad news. So it's kind of like my bad omen. So whenever I see when I'm like, oh, crap, something's about to happen. So what's really killing the birds? I don't know. I have no idea. Some of them are babies.

So I think some of them are falling into my backyard and they can't get out. And some of them are, like, just regular. And at that point, I don't know what's happening. You know, like nine years ago, I was finding birds dead like on my street, like literally in front of my house. I'm like, what is happening? And I would clean it up and throw it away, like one crow, like now another crow and a week later another crow. And finally I saw one die and I realized how they were doing it. They were wherever they were landing on the power line right in front of my house, they would get electrocated and fall straight down.

I don't know what was wrong with that power line Because usually like that they're they're usually okay But says hey don't know like birds normally sit on power lines Yeah yeah because they're suspended in the air But there must have been a part of the power line that they shouldn't have Or maybe there was a mess up by the power company who knows Dang can you just imagine being a bird You're just living your little bird life

And you just stepped on the wrong line that day Have you ever seen There's a documentary about a cook named Eduardo he's a chef No chef Eddie Chef, I don't know what it's called, but it's crazy. I'll look it up while you're telling you about it. Chef Eduardo, maybe Colorado, I don't know, maybe California. He like works over there.

Is his last name also Garcia? No. Oh, maybe. Is it? There's one that's popping up. Yeah, that's him. And he's like a really good chef or whatever, but he got electrocuted when he was hiking. Oh, he touched a dead bear.

He touched a dead bear and the bear had died because it had gotten electrocuted from touching some exposed wires. Oh, it's called charged. And his last name is Garcia. Eduardo Garcia. Mm-hmm. Yeah, crazy story. He went for a hike in Montana. I was shocked with volts of electricity when he touched a dead bear.

Crazy story. So, yeah, imagine you live in your life like Eduardo or the bird touching something. Oh, that's interesting. See? These are bad omens, Eddie. Yeah, those are bad omens. And I just don't think we realize it. We just go about our life thinking it's normal.

And these are bad omens. Especially crows. My kids found a dead bird like yesterday. I wonder what that is. I also know there's like a surplus of birds. Also, do you know the Goodle? The Gouldold is? Golden Doodle theory that came from the bird theory.

No. You know how everybody's like, oh, the birds are the government and they're like robots watching us? That's made up. I know. That's so dumb. But you know that conspiracy theory? And now everybody's saying it's the Golden Doodle theory because like golden doodles are in every home. And they're like, no, it's golden doodles.

And they act like humans. They act very human like. So now instead of it being birds, it's golden. Doodles? What if one of those theories ends up being right? That would be a wild experience for all of us. Imagine you love, but you know, sometimes I do like at Remy, I'm like, you know too much. You know so much about me.

I know everything. Yeah, and you just sit there, you listen to me talk all the time. And holy crap, you know a lot. If you do happen to be a robot one day, I'm screwed. Or can she talk to any other animal? Like, can she like tell your stuff to anyone else? Yeah, can they? Do they communicate?

Do they call their mom? What? On the weekends? I don't think that happens. Does she call, you know, a relative, her best friend in Montana? But I do often wonder if animals can communicate with each other in some ways that we don't see and don't understand. Yeah, it's just like, beep you. Like, right?

When they bark at the dog park? Yeah, that's why I love the animal voiceovers on TikTok. And people make voices for them. I'm like, if animals could talk, this is kind of what they would sound like. I do love that. But yeah, that's on birds. But that's my bad oven. You got a bad omen?

I mean, no, not really. I don't really. Just your paws. That really irking you? You make me so mad. Yeah. No more potholes for you. Please.

You know one day what we could do? We talked about this on the show when a guy was so tired of potholes. He went and planted trees in them. So they'd get them to replace them. Maybe you needed to plant a treat. hilarious. In the middle of the highway. Or Arnold Schwarzenegger, he was, you know who he is, right?

Yeah, I do. Terminator. Yeah. There's a show with him on Netflix. I started watching it last night. Yeah. Have you watched it? Yeah, it's good.

The whole thing? The TV show with him. Not. There's two things out that came out with him. like a documentary. There's a Netflix documentary. But then there's a TV show. Like a fictional one. Somebody else playing him? Or him playing himself? No him. He's not

playing himself. He's just an actor in it. Okay. And I've never gotten to see like a modern day Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah. And so it's been cool to watch it. Okay. Okay. So you're watching the documentary. I'm watching the documentary. I'm watching the documentary. You love documentaries. I do. Well, I do because like, especially the ones where I kind of watch and I'm like,

I have no idea about this person or about this band or about this story. And then you end up like spending two hours and be like, that's kind of cool. I learned something. Well, at least you like ones that don't ruin your life. I like, I like those two, though. See, those bother me because I'm like, dang, I could have gone my whole life without knowing that. You know the one about the little girl that was adopted, but she wasn't really a little

girl? No, wasn't there a nude story about that? Yeah, yeah, we just recently talked about it. Okay, but there's now already a documentary on it. There's a show on it, a documentary on it. And I started watching my wife's like, uh-uh, uh-uh, we are not watching this one. See? Turn it off.

Some things are better. her left not to be known. And I was, I started arguing. I'm so tired. Like, fine, you pick whatever we're watching. And she's just like, okay, fine, we're not watching this. And I'm like, you know what? I'm glad she decided that.

Yeah. Because I probably didn't want to watch that anyway. No, you know, sometimes I just, some I walk away from. I'm like, I really learned a lot. That was really cool. Others I've walked away from. I'm like, I really wish I would not have known that. I know.

And now it's with me forever. I know. Forever. You will think about that in 10 years, 20 years. Yeah. And you will live your life differently because of it. That's the point of them. Right? That is the point of

I'd rather learn about Arnold Schwarzenegger than like those Yeah. Really. Oh my gosh, yeah. So you should watch, I don't know what it's What it's called. Now I can't remember. I've watched so many shows recently. I know me too. Ronald. Ronald. Arnold. My workers are getting. Ronald Schwarzenegger.

I'm not even mispronounouncing wrong. I just can't say him right. Arnold. Fubar. I did see that when I was in California. There was a lot of ads about or like billboards about Fubar. Yeah, it's like a comedy action. It's him and a younger girl. Yeah. Yeah. It's like his daughter and their CIA agents.

That's it. And it's good. It's good. I enjoyed it. I laughed a lot. Okay. So, but it's definitely a little bit cheesy, little corny. And he also cracks me up just the way that he talks. And you know that's how he talks. But like, when he says certain things, I'm like, what did he just say? It takes me a minute.

Yeah. But I really liked it. I enjoyed it. So Fubar after your documentary. Okay. And I like the name, Fubar. Fibar. This is random. All right, well, no bad omens for you.

Nope. Pretty good over here. Just avoiding him. Mom just keep having dead. birds, it's fine, whatever they need. That's so weird. Yeah, if you can come pick them up to, just send them boys over to come pick them up.

Does Remy ever want to, like, eat them? No. Remy's not a hunter. Good. She's just chills. I've had, what are they called, groundhogs in my backyard. I've had, there's been squirrels

that walk around on the fence. She just sits there and watches them. Wait, you have ground hogs or moles? Groundhogs. Big fat groundhogs? I loved them. I fed him carrots. Do you see them?

Yeah. They're the cutest things in the whole world. I have a lot of them. I don't, no. But then he disappeared one day, and I don't know what happened. Oh, no, he got caught. I think so. I think one of my neighbors intentionally caught him, but I was like, I'm feeding him.

The groundhogs are amazing, but they do make, like, tunnels all in your backyard. They do, but I'm like, what? Tunnel damage. I mean, my yard's not going to get that great anyway. Right. We live in Tennessee. Right. It's not going to be good.

It's so hard to keep a good yard. Yeah, so just let the groundhog live his life. I've even had an armadillo. The armadillo did worse damage in my yard than the groundhog. Armadillos are legit, though. They are. But he, oh, my gosh. He was digging holes like crazy.

You would have thought he was a mole. And this was all in your yard? Yeah. Wow, you have these cool animals in your yard. Yeah, it was really fun to watch him. So I do have deer that come up to my backyard and scared. Are you feeding him? I'm thinking about it.

Like I told, I asked my wife, like, is it cool? Like I want to buy like deer feed, like corn maybe and just kind of throw it out there every night so they can come in the morning and like eat. But I feel like if I do that, like I'm going to get all sorts of wildlife out there. Yeah, it's awesome. Okay. I mean, that's the best part of like. Yeah, but I don't want them like eating my grass. I mean, think of it this way.

We encroached on their territory. We built our houses. It was all their land before. So we might as well like feed them, let them live a little life. Okay. All right. So if they eat a little bit of grass, it'll be okay. It's just a little reward.

Our a little payment. Thank you so much. It's like a truce. Like, hey, I'm one of the good humans. Okay. I didn't destroy your entire ecosystem. I did. I'm living in one.

But like, this is my truce with you. Because I would love, I really would, other than them eating my grass. I'd like to, like, feed the birds, feed the deer, get some foxes out there. I did see a fox. Did you see my fox that I posted? Yes, I did. That was crazy. I love seeing foxes in the wild.

They're so cool. They're so cool looking. Especially when they're, like, the red, orange ones. They're crazy. They look like a movie character. Yeah, they do. They look so unique. It's like, ooh, you're kind of like a dog, but not really.

You're not. Yeah. Because you have pointed ears and a bushy tail. And honestly, Eddie, I think they would all be in your yard and eating and doing stuff without you even fit feeding them. You just don't know it. Oh, like a night. Yeah. So like even if you do feed them. Yeah. I think it's the same consequence is going to happen. Okay. Well, no, I have a fence. Yeah, but I mean, deer. And they're always just on the other side of the past. Okay, but deer have jumped my parents fence. Like one got stuck on the fence and my dad had to get it off, putting it was born and then like jumped off and ran away.

Really? Oh, yeah. It was a whole thing. I think we talked about this before. Well, maybe. Because they had to put a little bag over his head because he was a buck. Yeah. And he'll buck. you're at. Yeah, I think that's pretty real. But yeah, they saved them. But you might want to do it outside of it, though, so you don't have any injuries to deal with it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I'm going to do that. Yeah. Outside the fence. Yeah. But I can still see them. And then they're not in a yard. And then they're out there.

Yeah. I'm on board for, we call my dad Mr. Snow White. So I'm on board. Yep. I'm on board for Snow White, Eddie. That's funny. Yeah. I love this for you.

We had Old Dominion on this show. They were talking about touring with Kenny Chesney, some new music. And Bobby asked if. they would write him a love song, which we don't know if that will end up happening. Didn't really seem like they wanted to. No, but I mean, they wrote a whole album about meow. No, they didn't write, I mean, they just meowed everything.

Yeah. Yeah. That's the way of funny. But they did a whole album of meowing. A parody love song is not like out of their repertoire of skills. Oh, and they're songwriters. They can come up with it in like two minutes. Yeah.

I think they're just on the spot. They weren't prepared. Yeah. But I did see online, Pink. You know Pink, the artist. one of her fans, we talked about on the show how one of them gifted her ashes of their mom, which was crazy. But this one was also equally crazy. They gifted her a wheel of cheese.

Like a whole freaking wheel. That's legit. I mean, like bigger than your whole face. I would love that. And I think it was so cool because I'm like, that's so unique. If you were an artist and you were on stage and you could get like any gift from a fan, what would you freak out over being delivered? Like in a good way. I mean

Like what would I if they just handed me something? Yep like like a wheel of cheese and you're just like dang that'd be really wild but really cool I mean I like all gifts because when we toured a lot like the raging idiots people would give us gifts like they would literally Some people would throw stuff on the stage and it was usually like socks you know No underwear of bras no like like it would be like here they throw it and then like give Bobby his and I'd look at Bobby his and I'd look at And it was like a dog because he likes dogs. And I'm like, okay. And mine was pizza.

Like they were like pizza socks. Just stuff like that. Yeah. But I always loved when I got gifts. And the fact that people, they're paying money to come to your show already. And then on top of that, they want to bring you a gift. It's so awesome. I've gotten like gift cards.

Uh, usually Pizza Hut gift cards. I was going to say gift cards are pretty cool. Uh-huh. Gift cards are awesome. I've gotten socks. I've gotten food. Beer. People bring me beer.

That's a good one. This one guy gave me a beer that he made. Was it good? Yeah, this is legit. Like really good. It was good because if it was bad, that kind of would have sucked. I know, I know, I know. But I take every single gift.

Every, every, every single one. And you still have them all or you've used them all? Yeah, I've used them. Like, there was, oh, man, when we played Cheyenne in Wyoming, they gave somebody gave us a belt buckle. Wait, is that the one that you keep wearing? No, I want to find that belt buckle. Okay, guys, I need to tell you something about Eddie over the course of like the last two.

weeks he's been showing out to work with a belt buckle and I'm like where did this come from? I like the belt buckle. Genuinely, where did the one come from that you have been wearing? A guy that works in the building, my kitty. He just gave it to you and you're like, I'm just going to wear a belt buckle today. I think he bought it for, see, in case you don't know, in order to use a belt buckle, you got to have a certain belt, a belt that clips, that unclips, then you put the belt buckle in there and then it clips again.

Eddie, I came from Kansas and cattle and horses. I'm talking to people that are listening. I mean, maybe they don't know. Maybe they live in New York City and I've never worn a belt buckle, okay? So you need a special belt to wear a belt buckle. And so I saw it in his office. I'm like, bro, can I have this? He's like, yeah, I don't want it.

And so he gave it to me. And his is like a cheap little belt buckle with like a long horn on it, right? Oh, yeah. I look straight out of like one of the bars on Broadway. Totally. Somebody dropped it. One of the tourists. It's so cheap.

It's ugly, whatever. So I've been supporting it. But the only reason I got is because I want to wear. that belt buckle that I got in Cheyenne, I don't know, like seven, six years ago. And I've always had that belt buckle and I love it. It's like a rodeo belt buckle like this big Morgan like the size of my hand. And you feel like you lost it? I can't find it.

Like I've moved since then. And so I'm thinking it's in a box somewhere, but I'm like, I don't know. Do you think it might be at Goodwill? No. Like Bobby's book. No, no. I've told my wife not to throw that one out like many times. But not that she would have done on purpose.

No, she does it every year. In the wrong box? No, every year she does a cleanse. And it's like sometimes she asked me, sometimes she doesn't. And I'm like, hey, where is that? And she's like, oh, we got rid of it, like Bobby's book. That's exactly what happened with that book. And so I asked her, did you take the belt buckle?

She's like, I promise I did not take that belt buckle. Do you think one of your boys has it? And they just don't know how that's not important to you? I don't know. Because it does kind of like flashy like a toy. It's legit, too. It's like a gold belt buckle. And it's like, it says Cheyenne Frontier Days on it.

In all seriousness, though, if you did walk in wearing that bell bungle, I would 100% make fun of you. I would have roast you. Why? I love it. Because you would come in doing it with your tinnage shoes and like some shirt. And belt buckles are meant to be worn with like a button down in cowboy boots. Says you?

It's a whole look. And guess what? And if you just add a belt buckle into what like you're wearing right now. Let me tell you some more. It just really knows off the whole vibe. I've been a trendsetter my whole life. In high school, I was the first person to wear Hawaiian shirt to school. And by like senior year, everyone was wearing Hawaiian shirt.

That's a lot. I'm telling you this is different. I'm just saying. I'm saying I always have always been the person to be like, you know what? Let me try that. That looks cool. Hey, hey, those hats I wear? You're going to go out in public with this belt buckle and your tennis shoes and somebody's going to look at you and be like, somebody dare him to wear that?

Those cool fedora hats I wear? Come on. Those are cool. You're telling me I didn't start that. Eddie, you have great style. That's what I'm saying. So watch the belt buckle come back. You're wearing bright orange shoes.

You're going to come in with this bright, great. belt buckle. Right. And you got to tuck your shirt into the belt buckle to show it off. I love it. And you're wearing a polo? Like you just, you're just showing off too many vibes. Like someone's going to look at you and be like, what is he doing? This guy's special. Probably. I'm just trying to help you out. Oh man. Yeah. So he's been wearing a belt buckle for a while. A cheap one until I can find my Cheyenne frontier days. Okay. So if somebody could gift Eddie a new belt buckle. That would be legit. That sounds like that's what you want. Oh my gosh. Please send me a belt buckle. If you...

Not sin. Hey, this is a very particular, and you just happen to fit this bill. What? Yeah. Because you're an artist. Yeah. Even though I said like if you were an artist, but you are. I'm an artist.

If somebody hand delivered you something, what would you want? A belt buckle. And there we go. That's going to be my answer. So they can't send it to you because it's not the same. But if you look, look, I'm just saying like if you, oh my gosh, if you're a real bull rider and you've won a belt buckle for bull riding, maybe not the biggest rodeo ever. But like one of the like, oh, you did a small rodeo in Topeka.

one of their prices. But some bull riders like are so good. They have like 80 belt buckles. That's true. But you'd have to meet like a famous bull rider for probably one of those. Yeah. That'd be cool. There's a lot of those.

I want a bull riding belt buckle. Would you ever ride a bull? Hell no. Hell no. It is true. No. There was a period in my life where we went to a lot of rodeos. And after a few beers, my brother and I, my brother would always be like, dude, do it.

Just sign up and do it. You could be a rodeo clown. No. No. All that sounds terrible. Have you seen videos of rodeo clowns just getting like nailed, like stuck in the rib? Yes, I have. But listen, for whatever reason, the idea of like a NASCAR driver or a bow rider.

I'll do NASCAR driving. But like I'd marry one of them because for whatever reason there's something attractive about both of those things. I don't know why. Bull riders too? Bull riders and NASCAR drivers. It's like the adrenaline. Yes and no. Because sometimes they're just very more, some of them are too, like way too traditional for me,

which is fine, just, you know, not my vibe, but. What about a surfer? I mean, I'm not going to say no to anything at this point, any. Yes to anyone? But I'm just saying, like something's very attractive when you see like a bull rider or a NASCAR driver, you're like, dang, that's really attractive. What about like a motorcycle, dude? Not the same effect.

Okay. I don't know why. What about like a skateboarder? No. Snowboard. It's something about the adrenaline associated with it, I think. and I'm like they're putting their life on the line to do something that they really love.

Okay. So there's something about that. And I just haven't been to like any motorcross stuff. So maybe that's why I don't have that yet. Or like skateboarding, like the X games. Yeah. But I don't feel like they're full on putting their life on the line. UFC fighter?

Yeah, that's pretty attractive. UFC fighter? Yeah. Those guys are crazy. Yeah, like I'm not saying I would date them. Oh, no, that's what I'm saying. They're really attractive. Okay, okay.

You know? Yeah. Maybe just have some fun. Okay. That's just fun for a little bit. Okay, all right. Oh, gosh. Okay, well, that's what Eddie once gifted, guys.

Get him a belt level. What do you want? I think if somebody handing me a gift card for food, that'd be pretty sweet. That'll always work. Yeah, that'll always work. Or, like, if somebody just straight up brought me tacos and I'm just, like, performing and somebody's just like, here's some tacos, I'd be like, yeah. Just one taco?

I just sit on the stage and eat while and hanging out with everybody. But your taco would be what in it? Cheese? Oh, no. I love, um, I love egg and cheese tacos with potatoes. Oh, yeah, eggs not a meat. Tacis taco. And I also love sweet potato tacos. Yeah, those are good. And black bean tacos. There's a lot of variation. With cheese and the black bean? Oh yeah. And some peppers.

I love like, uh, sauteed peppers and onions. Mm-hmm. See, there's, there's some good stuff. Okay. See, now you're like, okay, I get it. All right. I get it. I like it. So, tacos or a food gift card. Okay. That'll work. But you already got that. It doesn't count anymore. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never. mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And Rule 2, never mess with her friends either. We always say that, trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no.

I vowed I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Vodam.

My next guest, you know from Stepbrothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Farrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.

I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.

Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. In 2023, Former Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story.

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so much, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected.

All right, so coming in at this next spot, I had a super sketchy Uber ride that we talked about. Oh, man, yeah. And I either almost died, got kidding. I mean, the list goes on of what could have happened. For sure, something bad. Yeah, and I choose not to look at it. Like, genuinely after that happened, I was like, I'm, I feel like a lot of my life lately,

I felt like things are a fever dream. Like, they didn't really happen. What's a fever dream? You never heard that like phrase? A dream that you have during a fever? No. So it's like, it's a saying. They're like, I said, I don't know why I keep remembering this like phrase, but it's a fever dream is like, it doesn't feel real.

And it's very bizarre. And you don't know, like you're contemplating if it's real, even though it did happen and it is real. Okay. You just feel like there's no way that could have happened. Okay. I understand. At least that's how I remember it. That's a fever dream?

I don't think it's a real. This is like a slang phrase. I think there is actually a fever dream and that's a real thing. But like the slang way that I see it is, no, this is like a fever dream. Holy crap that just happened to me. There's no way that's real. Does that make sense? Yeah, but it happened.

I know. But I look at it. I'm like, that was a fever dream. There's no way that happened. But it happened and nothing happened. Yeah. So. Ooh, when you have a close encounter with death, I feel like that's what that.

else I kind of was. But it wasn't my time yet. But no, it was not your time yet. I'm still here. And we still are not 100% sure that anything was going to happen to. Yeah, he could have just been super socially awkward. Been trying to get his buddy to the airport. That could also be true.

Like, totally could have been. But it's weird. Most of the time now. I used to be, you know what? I came in when I started this job and it has nothing to do with this job, which is the course of my life. But when I started this job, I was a very optimistic person. and I truly believed in the best of everybody. And it's almost like hanging out with you just a little bit more.

I became a little bit more pessimistic. I remember when you started this job and like, I would even say like a year into your job, you'd always be like, Eddie, you're so pessimistic about this. Like, I'm like,

Morgan, I'm just telling you how it is. It's just, I think it's, it's the more you live life and experience things. You learn things about people. You learn business. Oh my gosh.

Business is crazy, right? Like you want to go into, I want to be a businessman. You're going to, to be a liar. Like business is so much about lying. It's so dumb. Like it's terrible. You just come to realize that like there, yes, there's good people in the world, but there's few and far between. There's a lot more people that really kind of like out for themselves. That's really what everyone's all about. Like lunchbox, for example. Like, you know, he, business man, business deals making that

money. He'd be a perfect businessman because he's a liar. He's a good BSer. That's the same thing. And that's toward like the business. Business to me is so weird because like we all want to make money and start a business. Lunchbox just walked in and got out of here that specific part. We all want to make money and start a business. But at the same time, like, you got to lie a little bit about your business. This is the best smoked chicken in the whole wide world. I'm one if you'd like to buy any. You know what I mean? Like it's just all. When you got to scam people, because that's how you make money. It's crazy. You can't just add a dollar. Where's your profit share? What's going to happen? So you got to.

scam them a little bit, make a little extra money. Buy one, get one free? How are you going to make money off? Oh, don't worry. Don't worry. We'll make money off of you. You're not wrong. But it just has made me realize that most of the time when I would have been like, oh, no, it's no big deal. It really actually is a big deal and something was about to happen. So I've just tried to, at least in the area of being self-aware of what's happening. That's it. That's it. I think the big one is like, oh, whenever I go home, when I go home, spend time with family, whether it's my family or my wife's family, people love to say like,

Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's a good dude. And I love being like, do you know him? And they're like, no. Well, then how can you say that? Like, well, it just seems like a good dude. Yeah, but he's just giving you the best of whatever he wants you to see. Like, you don't know him. And it always turns into a thing because they love seeing like a quarterback.

Patrick Mahomes, man, he's a good dude. Do you know Patrick Mahomes? I don't know, he might be a good dude, but for you to sit here and just say, he's such a good dude. You don't know Patrick Mahomes. You know where that comes from? Because I did this a lot when I was growing up. They'd always ask me something. And I wouldn't know the answer, but I would make up what I thought was probably the answer.

And they were always like, Morgan, you don't know that. Why would you say that? And I'm like, well, I don't know. You asked me a question. I felt like I need to have an answer. You had to have something. So you like make something up. And so for a long time, I would do that.

And now when I say something and I don't know, it's like a habit. And so at the end, I'll be like, but I don't actually know. Like, this is just my theory. It's your disclaimer. Yeah, because I do think genuinely people feel the need, one, to fill space and two, to have a response if somebody asks them something. Okay, you being in radio, obviously that is a thing, right? Like, we don't, in our conversations, we don't like having space.

Yeah. Like, there's no breaks or it's awkward. Okay, I feel uncomfortable. Please stop. Exactly. It sounds weird when there's space. right? Do you adopt that into your life when you get home or like when you're just hanging out with friends? Yeah, but you and I think are different though. You and I are very conversationalists.

Like we are very good at having conversations. Whereas I feel like some people are not not like necessarily anybody on the show, but that's just not some people's quality traits. Right. And I do that naturally before even working in radio. Okay. I just liked to talk to people. But I feel like. You still like talking to people? I do. But it definitely has tapered off. Like it's definitely, I don't love talking to like strangers all the time. Unless it's like I'm in a headspace to do that. I used to be much more outgoing and I talk to anybody. Now like when I'm in an Uber, most of the time I'll sit quietly.

I'm like, okay, I need 20 minutes apiece. Yeah, same here. Which so that's definitely tapered off. Which was not me. Right? Like, did you used to be the person who'd always start a conversation in the car? Always. Always.

And it's sitting in airplane. Hey, man, what's up? Where are you going? Hey, where are you from? Are you from Nashville? No. Now headphones. Like, keep to myself.

Yep. I'm going to listen. into music. Yeah, and I don't know why. I don't know. If it's just more like we just, you know, expect bad things so we're just like to myself. I have no idea. I have no idea, but I do like that time for

myself. That like some moments of peace. I'm with you. What's gotten really bad for me, though, is like when I go home, I drive home from work, like I would normally call my mom or call my brother or call my wife or like a friend that I haven't talked to in a while.

Just for the 20 minutes that I'm driving home And now I'm just like, no, I want to listen to air. You want to listen to nothing. I want to listen to quiet. You know, like just nothing. I don't want to talk. I don't want to think. It's so weird.

I think that's also because you're going into a house with four kids after coming from a studio with a bunch of kids. That too. You know what I mean? Like that is your moment of peace. So that's crazy how that changes though. We just changed. But you and I were both that way. I feel like, especially when I started the show.

That's probably how we met. Yeah, because we just started. talking to each other. What do you do? Do you work for the station? Oh yeah, I do this. You're ready to party. You ready to do all the things.

Like, let's hang out. Now you're like, no, I'm good. Seriously, even when we travel, like, hey, we want to get out and get a beer? No. You're like, hi, I'm not that way anymore. I went to go back to the hotel and go to sleep. It's funny that when I did that psychic call with Amanda's, with Amy's cousin Amanda, I, she told me she was like, you know, you really are an extrovert, but it's funny.

you're actually more of an introvert and you just feel really bad telling people no but you would much rather like sit on the couch and do nothing I'm like I do you nailed that I do I am very much that I just but why do you that that's going to change because you will eventually just say no I've gotten better about it because I just have had so much busyness that I'm like okay I really just need to chill but I just get fomo I really just like oh is it real fomo or so it's not like just because you want to be you can't tell them no yeah it's not like fomo of the situation situations they're in like genuinely I don't want to go out and drink like I used to anymore I already I had multiple phases of that I'm solid it's more fomo of them living life and I feel like when

I sit on my couch and do nothing that I'm not taking advantage of my time in life yeah so I feel very like okay this is literally like a mentality of you can sleep when you're dead why are you sitting on the couch on a Friday night when everybody is out together and they're hanging out yeah It's not the fomo of whatever activity it is. I hear what you're saying. Because I'm very good about doing activities. It's just that I feel, I don't feel like my time is purposeful. But she was like, no, girl, your time is purposeful sitting on the couch.

You need to do it more. It's true. It's true because just because you're not going somewhere, that alone time or whatever you're doing that's making you feel restful or whatever it is, like that's definitely important to you. Right. It's really good for people. It helps you recharge and make sure you can still keep your cup filled with other people. I mean, I'm sure especially as a parent you need that time because in order to give it to your kids. When you were growing up, did your parents go take you places a lot?

Were you like, we're going here, we're going there, we're going there. Always on the go. I played every sport imaginable. But it wasn't required. It was just like I loved doing everything and I wanted to try everything. And thankfully my parents like, you know, pushed me to do that and be like, yeah, go do it. And so we were always on the go. I mean, you would go and you'd have sports practices after school and I wouldn't be home until 5 o'clock.

and then I did my homework and I went to bed and next day it was a different sports or whatever I was doing. What about weekends? Well, weekends I traveled for softball and volleyball when I remember. That's crazy. You know, I mean, especially when I played competitive softball, I think for like four years of my life, I was gone every weekend.

I was playing softball literally all the time. Were you good not to play in college? I think I would have been if I pursued it. I think I got burned out. Oh my gosh, so burnt out. Because I was playing competitive. And so you literally every week. weekend, every day, every night. So like on top of school practice that I did, this is like middle

school time because I got burnt out by high school. I would do school practice and then I'd go to my competitive team practice. So it was like, it was sports all the time or any activity all the time. And I was in a lot of activities in, you know, like I was in French club. I did a volunteer club. Like I did everything and I loved it. I would never trade any of that. But yeah, I was very on the go. I was a very busy person. And it made me who I am to figure out what I wanted and all of those things. So it was great. And you have a lot more energy as a kid too.

Yeah. You know, I'd come home and eat mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. I'm like, okay, I'm ready to go. So much energy. Kids just like, it's amazing. Yeah. Were you like that? Like, did you keep yourself busy?

Um, no. So my parents always had something going on. So like, it was like, hey, we're going to so-and-so's house. Like, let's go. Or we're going to go to a ranch. Hey, we're going hunting this weekend. We're going camping this weekend. Oh, we're going to go.

drive to San Antonio this weekend. Like it was just, they had events going on and we were just always tagging along. Like always. We're going to the beach. Okay, cool. Pack my bags.

Hey, this weekend we're going there. Pack the bags. And so I think the reverse effect with me happen where like, now that I get to choose my weekends, I'm like, I don't want to go anywhere. You had too much as a kid. I want to stay here.

Yeah. My dad specifically, like, it was just burnout of things. He wanted to hunt every weekend and we would we would go hunting every weekend but when i turned 18 i'm like i don't want to hunt anymore i hunted my entire life like every weekend of my life we were going to the ranch to go hunting and so like that was just kind of my growing up yeah to where now i'm just kind of like

you know what let's just hang out at the house that's why you like having pizza fridays yeah pizza fridays and chilling i'll grill i'll buy steaks for saturday i'll grill i'll put ufc on then we'll do movie after UFC. Whatever. Like, I just like doing that because I never had that as a kid. Yeah. You did like the straight up polar opposite of what he did as a kid. Uh-huh.

It makes sense, though. You craved a different side of it. I mean, everything's all about balance, right? And so if you had too much of one thing, you would most of the time do the reverse opposite. Yeah, there was no balance. Mm-hmm. I remember my dad would just, if we weren't going anywhere, he would barbecue and there were people coming over.

constantly. Very social. Your parents sound very social. My dad was so social. Was your mom or was she just like, dang? She's just like, all right, they're coming over. I'll buy chips. I'll buy like veggie trays.

And my dad built a bar, like a full on bar in our house. I'm talking about like bigger than the studio. Like huge. It was a big room in our house that he converted into a bar. He bought a foosball table, two slot machines from Vegas. it had every liquor you can imagine it had a long bar you know with like that

you know how bars have that little padding not padding but like that coating on it oh yeah like it's very sleek yeah it's almost like a bowling alley kind of thing you know like that kind of thing it was a real bar like that and it had a fridge you know yeah he was a like a master host

I think what he did was convince my mom that instead of him going out for business meetings he was going to bring everybody over he was going to bring it there And he would. Like, there were people in my house all the time. And people would smoke in the bar.

Like, I would literally be like, hey, where's dad? He's in the bar. And I would open the door and there would be 20 people in there, like smoke,

music. And I'm like, what are you like, what's happening here? This is my home. Do you feel like that's why you're also social? Like,

do you think you got it for your dad? Or just because you had to be social growing up? I just, I don't know. I think it's in me for sure. Like, my dad's just really good with, I mean,

he would talk to everyone. Anyone and everyone. like from the CEO of a company to the janitor. Like he talked to every single person in the room. I love that. And that's kind of, I mean, I always grew up that way. Yeah. It's definitely your personality too.

You're the same way. So it's just more that the internal you is coming out like, okay, I really need to have my own life now. I think like you, like you just realize like we do need our space. We need our time alone. Yeah. And to recharge a little bit. It is important for energy givers to have their time alone. If there's one thing I've learned.

Anyagram are you? What's your number? 50% an 8 and 50% of 2. Okay. Do you know what you are? 9 2. 9 2. Okay.

We're both helpers. Yeah. What's the 2? The 2 is the helper. Okay. I'm trying to remember. I think 9 is like a peacemaker or something. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. That's very you. Something like that. The 8 is the challenger. That's you. I like to challenge people. I think Bobby's also an 8. He's also 3.

I think Amy 6. I can't remember now. I feel like we talked about it. But yeah, you're definitely a peacemaker and a helper. I see that wholeheartedly. Crazy. Yeah. So weird.

Yeah. Dang. I forgot what I was even asking you or recently. I don't know. That's the way our conversations go. I know, but I love them. And then I just like going in that direction. And then I'm like, oh, crap.

I got to remember the bit that we were on. We got serious for a second. Yeah, but that was cool. You know, like you start going into our lives a little bit about, like, what do we need inside? Don't go all emotional on me. I'm trying not to make more people cry on this podcast. We start crying. I want to talk about your chicken that you brought in because that's not the number one spot.

Everybody tried your chicken. And this is a new change in your life. Did you feel left out? Yeah, I want to be part of the food trying, but I couldn't try it. Can I make you a, what can I smoke for you? Ooh. Oh, no, I have the biggest request. because I don't have a grill and I miss it so much.

It's corn on the cob. I got you. Can you make me corn on cob smoked? I got you. That would make me so happy. I got you. You're good. Because my dad always grilled corn like growing up.

He'd make barbecue. We'd have baked potatoes, corn, some salad, and they'd have chicken. And I loved those meals. It was always like our Sunday meals and they were so good. What do you put on your corn? Just butter? Butter and salt and pepper. Yeah.

Yeah. Nothing crazy. Simple. I love it, though. Yeah. You like corn on the cob? I do. I do, man.

It's so good. Corn's really, it's amazing how, like, corn, something so simple could be really good. I know. Like, anytime if I see somebody doing the, like, when you go to a fair or anything like that and they have the corn on, I will always buy it. Yeah? Always. Like, I don't care if I'm trying to look pretty.

Like, it's about to be all in my face. Do you like popcorn? I do like popcorn, but not like I like corn on the cob. There's something different about it. I don't know how to explain it. And maybe it's because I'm from Kansas. You know, we got a lot of cornfields. But that's what, that's what you can.

can bring me instead of the chicken. You got it. And I will pay you $20 for that. I'm not kidding. I'm miscarred. And I don't have a grill. How many, how many cobs do you want? Oh, for $20, five.

Five cobs. I feel like that's good. Yeah, sure. Yeah. You got it. And you got it. I mean, you just named your whole thing. Like, you got it.

Yeah, that'd be awesome. Okay. I'm now I'm happy. Now I don't feel left out. In next week, I got you. Yeah. We can do that. Okay, besides your smoke chicken, the reason I was bringing it up is I want to talk about any big

changes in your life recently. Not trying to get more emotional. Just like random. Big changes in my life. And the reason I talk about that is because I have bangs now and that was a big change for me. Let's talk about the bangs. I have questions about the bangs. Okay.

Bring it. What? What how was your hair? Okay. Don't take this the wrong way. That's okay. I'm just a dude. Yeah.

And when my wife goes and gets her hair done, she's like, mm-mm. I'm like, what's wrong? Like, you have some of your throat? Like, what are you doing? She's like, you haven't mentioned my hair. I'm like, what did you do? I didn't notice anything. And she hates it.

Obviously, you look different. Yeah. But I don't know what you did. Well, so right now you're seeing them and they're a little bit parted. Yeah. So they're not there full on. When I came in yesterday, they were full on. So that just means that your hair goes straight down over your forehead.

No, I did see the post. You did? And I mean, it looks significantly different. But it's one of those things where like, oh, she looks different. I don't know what's different though. Okay, I'm going to show you two photos. So this is the bangs. Okay.

And here's a post without them. Okay, but so it's just that I can see your forehead before. Banks cover like the forehead area. Okay, but did you have to cut it differently for that to happen? Oh, you had to cut off a significant amount for that to like change. Okay, so now that I see it, so you still have the bangs, but you're part in them. Right now they're parted. They're called like curtain bangs.

Because they're kind of open. So you could do open. or you can close them or close the curtains. And when you close them, it comes down to your eyebrows. I mean, bangs are cool.

Yeah. I mean, I think it's... Well, I originally like posted like a poll I'm like, should I do it? Because honestly,

I haven't changed my hair in years. And I really wanted to change, but I wasn't going to color and I wasn't going to cut it short. And I was like bangs. Yeah. Bangs are where it's at.

But I grew up, listen, I had a bowl cut when I was a child. And I have bang trauma. All around? Oh, yeah, like straight across. Not style. Like the Beatles.

Like literally my mom put a bowl in my head and said, here we go. Why would your mom do that? Because I wouldn't brush my hair. Hilarious. Literally, she gave me multiple warnings. She told you brush your hair and you wouldn't do it. Interesting. Yeah, I like, I had long, beautiful hair.

And my mom was like, if you were going to keep this, you have to take care of it. Because you would just get out of the shower and not touch it. Yeah, and my mom didn't want to have to keep taking care of my hair when I was capable of doing it. And so finally she got to a point. She's like, all right, we're cutting it. And I had straight up a full cut. I went from long, beautiful curly hair. Do a bowl cut.

She literally put a bull on your head and then cut all the way around it? I'm not kidding when I tell you that's exactly what it looks like. You have a picture of it? Stop. I'm telling you. I'm going to need to see this picture. It is not, not good, Eddie. Oh, my.

That's not a ball. No, because you can still see your head. Like, so you're, it's almost like a helmet. Oh, yeah. It's like, it's like a gladiator helmet. But like, so the whole hair around the bottom was all the same length and then the bangs were all the same length. That's not a bad cut. Props to your mom.

I like that. Okay, but there's another one with the things. Like, it wasn't the best look when you could have seen, like, you see my sister's long, pretty hair? Yeah. I had that. You almost look like Morgan Wallen a little bit. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Not Morgan Hewelsman. Morgan Wallen. Nope. And see, like, this is how my hair looked most of the time. Like, wild crazy. I never brushed it. So, that is what happened. So I did have trauma with bangs.

You had a mullet. Yeah, I did. I did. Okay. So why did you go to the banks then? Just to do something different? really wanted to change. I was getting bored with my hair. And like, so many people were like, are you like going through it right now?

Like, no. Going through what? People say when girls change their hair, they're going through it. Like some kind of. Just any, like trauma in their life or if they go through a breakup or whatever. And yes, I did go through a breakup last fall, but I'm way beyond that. Yeah, it's been a bit. But I just, I don't know.

I just really wanted something different. What about, like, color? I don't think I want to be any other color. Have you ever been black? No. I've put a black wig on and I look funky. Morgan, do it. I look like I'm straight out of the 60s.

Really? Mm-hmm. Oh, like a groovy flower power 60s? Sorry, not 60s, 50s. Oh, black and white. Yes. Okay. Like I look, because I am so pale,

black hair literally makes me look like I could be in, what was the, the, the, Pulp Fiction? No, the crazy, the family. Adam's family. Yeah, I look like I could be in the Adams family. Yeah, I see that. When I had it on, because I was so white.

What about red? I could maybe pull off like a blonde red. A freaking red dude would be awesome. But I don't think I want to, I just blonde or like red and burnet would be very drastic changes. My wife did like a dark brown one time and I was like, whoa, this is so cool. Did you like it? Oh yeah, I loved it. She's like, no, I'm going to change it.

She had it for like a week. Which one did you like bled her? Blonde or Burnett? Well, she's always been blonde. So I like the blonde. But it was a cool change. It was cool to change it for a little bit and be like, oh, that's really cool. Because I mean, I don't get to do that with my hair, you know.

I mean, you could. No, I don't have hair. But you have side hair. And what am I to color my side hair? You could do a goatee. You could do a mustache. No, I'm not doing any of that. A mustache.

Can you imagine a mustache? You should come in one day with just a mustache. Oh, yeah, okay. And not tell anyone? No, I'm hilarious. And then we can do like a whole thing about it. I do that. So like, I usually have a beard, right?

Yeah. And sometimes like, I'll probably shave it here in the next couple of days. And like, sometimes I'm like, oh, well, you know what? I'm just going to go to the skin. And I will do one piece at a time, like just sideburns and a goatee. So I'll just shave this part. And then I'll walk out and wait until the kids say something. And then they're like, oh, no.

And sometimes they don't even notice. Sometimes they're just like, why are you staring at his dad? Nothing. Okay, great. So then I go back in. I'll come back with just a mustache and long sideburns. And then they're just like, whoa, dad, what are you doing? That's not good.

Go shave that. I feel like you should try a mustache just for a week. I did that. I told you I did that one time. I ever told you this? I did that and people started talking to me in Spanish. Eddie. They did.

They did. I went to a restaurant and they were like, uh, uh, is, uh, seor, Donde is da al banio?

Is it really that different than you having a beer? And I was like, one, I speak English. Two, I don't work here. No, see where's al banio.

Get out of my face. Oh my gosh, Eddie. Seriously. Okay, well, maybe not go anywhere, but I feel like you should try it in the studio.

Don't go out in the world. Yeah, but like, do, I don't know, just a little different look. Because it's fun. It's just fun. I did think about shaping my head the other day. Just because I'm like. Oh, full on? Well, not, no, like not like to the skin, but, you know, like a quarter of an inch.

Have you been thinking about taking all of it off? Yeah, because I'm tired of wearing hats. I'm like really tired of wearing hats. But you know, you don't have to wear hats, right? No, it looks terrible. So you don't feel like without doing it. Honestly, when I look in a mirror, it doesn't look bad because my receiving hair line is not too bad. But I have like a ball spot in the back of my head and that's the worst.

Like, I don't want to look like that. You know, so, I don't know. Do you feel like you're finally getting to the point where you may shave it all off? Yeah, or just keep it really, really short. That's true. You can do that. I don't know. I think that literally, I think that's what my dad had, because he had an afro when he was younger.

That's awesome. And then, because I've seen a picture of him, I'm like, who is that? Yeah. But he's bald now And he's really short Is skin bald? Nope His is really short on the sides

But he's bald on the top That's what I like I kind of like that it's short And he had a mustache for years Really? And then one day we're like Okay it's time to get rid of it And then it was weird looking out

I'm like I know I know It's always so weird Yeah So you could do that look Yeah You can be like my dad I mean no

I look like your dad And I'd look really like Oh Mr. Garcia Okay But in all fairness Eddie Yeah You already are Mr. Garcia. I know, I know.

So you're changing the look is not going to do anything different. Yeah. I just, it'll make me feel older. Yeah. You know, just automatically. But I feel like it would be look good. And like I did with the bangs, it was like they can always grow back. That's true.

It's just hair. It can always come back. Well, not the top of my head. Sorry. It's kind of rude. Okay. The sides are growing out very long and your beard always grows out. Oh, I have no problem with the sides.

So that's what I'm saying. I have no problem with the back. You ever think about doing racing where you inject with your blood? What about two pay? No. Those look so good now. Stop it. I've seen them on TikTok and they don't, like you can't even tell.

I'm not doing that. What if I get into a bar fight? Then my toupee falls off. When are you gonna get in a bar fight? You never know. I'm just saying they're all over TikTok and they look really good. They're like, ooh, fight, fight, fight, oh, it's two pay off. Eddie, have you ever gotten into a bar fight?

Never. Okay. I was in the middle of one though. Ooh, one time my wife and I were, this one were younger. We were at a bar and it was late. It was like, oh my gosh, what like. like almost two. And really,

there were only five people in there. Me and my wife and my wife and like four other people. And two guys started fighting. And everyone just kind of like, oh, got away from it. And then I was like, I got to help break it up.

But you don't. So me and the bartender, I did. So me and the bartender, we like, we stepped in and broke it up. And I'm like, that's kind of cool.

It's the first time I've ever, like, jumped in a bar fight. Dang. Yeah. You broke up a fight. I did. You didn't get in one, but you broke it up.

And I also broke up one that my brother, almost got into, oh my God, I think I've broken up two of my brother's fights. Oh, so your brother's the fighter. Oh, my God. He's just drunk. He gets drunk and he pisses people off. And so we had a George Strait concert and he started fighting with some dude.

And then I like jumped in. I was like, dude, he's drunk. Like, he's drunk. Don't trust me. Like, he's stupid. I got him. I got him. And he was like, you better get him away from me.

I'm like, yeah, don't worry. That's what I'm doing. Get him away from you. All right. Just don't beat him up. You can't fight. And so that was one. Can't fight.

And then another time, we were at a bar and he started arguing with this guy. I don't know what they're argued about. So he just starts running his mouth. Yeah, so it's running his mouth. And some people can't handle it and they get mad or whatever and so want to fight. And so this guy, I saw him and I'm like, he looks familiar and he worked at a music store. Like where they, back in the day where they sell music in stores. Okay.

Yes. You know what I mean? We still have those. Do we? Vinyl stores. They have CDs. They have all kinds of music in them, right? Yeah, I was like that.

Is that what you're talking about? Unless there was something else. No, no, no, no. It was like that. It's a music store. And so I was like, okay, this guy used to, I know this dude. And so I was like, ooh, I got it. So I'm like, hey, hey, hey, man.

Hey, you remember me, dude? I'm in this band called Explosion in the Sky. And I, like, made that up because it was like an indie band. And I figured maybe this guy would know, like, I don't know. Keep me like, oh, cool. You're in that band. And he goes, whoa, I remember you, dude. And I was like, oh, wow, cool.

It's working. He's like, how are you guys? I'm like, oh, dude, we're killing it. We're doing great. Whatever. He's like, do I love you guys. Your band is so cool. And I got my brother like behind me.

I'm like, go, go, go. Run away. We're like, go outside. Go hide. Like, while I distract this guy. hilarious that, though, that it worked though. Yeah. And then he was just like, dude, totally love your band.

I'm like, thank you. But you weren't really in that band. No. Okay. No. I didn't know if there was like some indie band and this is the first time I'm hearing about it that you were part of. No, it was a real band, but I wasn't in it.

I just thought that, you know, maybe this guy was in an indie music store. Like, he would think that's cool that I'm in that band. It could have gone way wrong. Oh, yeah. He could have been like, I don't care. Those bands are my best friend. That band's my best friends, man. Like, you're not in it.

You're lying to me. Could have totally gone that way. That would have been hilarious. Yeah, but no. He was just like, I remember you, dude. Dang. Yeah, pretty funny. But no, I don't.

Look at you getting out of situations. I was always. Conversationalist. And peacemaker. there it is. Don't fight. It always comes for all circle. Don't fight.

I've never gotten in a full-on fight. I still want to do a charity fight sometimes. Wait, wait, wait, wait, what do you mean? Like, full-long? Like, did you get into a half-fight? I was going to fight somebody at a Kenny Chessney concert, but my dad stopped me. This was the kind of recent. Well, I mean, in the last, like, 10 years.

Yeah. It was before I moved to Nashville, and it was at in Kansas City at Arrowhead. And some girl was super drunk and pulled my sister's hair. And I got really mad because my sister was literally standing there doing nothing. And my sister is not a fighter. Like she would not fight somebody. So what was she going to, what did she do?

She just kind of turned around. I was like, what just happened? And the girl was just mad that we were literally standing in front of her, even though we were there before. It was the strangest situation. And I straight out,

oh, my little sister did I, I straight up turned around. I said, what did you just do that for? And she's looking at me. She's like, oh, bring it. I'm like, oh, I will. And my dad literally like puts his head,

dad's seatbell to me. And it was like, Morgan, no, you don't want to get kicked out. And I was like, I'm fine. I can take her. He didn't doubt you could take her. I'm pretty sure your dad was like, I'm sure you can take her. But you're going to get kicked out of the show.

And then he like flagged the security down and they kicked her out. And I was like, there we go. That's the smarter move. Yeah, but I really want to get in a fight. I really did. I was ready to go. No, I didn't. But like, you know when you're standing there and you're really tense and your body's tense.

And it like somebody comes after my family. Oh, heck no. You were ready to brawl. Yeah. Yeah. I was always, I had the little sister energy. You need to do that fight. I know.

That fight on the row or whatever it's called. I'm super fast. The rumble on the row. You're fast and I bet your cardio is really good. Did you see my recent boxing video that I posted? No. It was really good. And I've been off for a few weeks.

You ready for this? I'm going to show you and you can have your live reaction. Let's see. There you go. Dang. And this is being out like after being off for like a month. Okay, okay. So you're training here.

Like you're exercising. Yeah. But could you, I mean, those are big combinations. Yeah. Could you execute those combinations on a face? Yes. This is hard. I'm going to be honest.

It's really hard to like hit a face. You think it'd be easy. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? When you're hitting Mitz, like, because I've sparred one time and I spar with my trainer, like he'll be like hit me. Like actually hit me.

And I like giggle every time I hit him because it just feels weird to like genuinely hit a person. Mm-hmm. You think you could just... I've never hit a person, so what, like, what feels weird? Well, like, you could translate from Mitz, but, like, hitting Mitz is like, okay, it's not real. But as soon as you hit and make contact with somebody's, like, body part, you're like, oh, crap, this is real. Because, like, sometimes I'll knock the air out of him, and he'll be like, okay, that was a lot. And I'm like, oh, God, are you okay?

Did I hurt you? Are you injured? Are we going to the hospital? It was an immediate, like, oh, I'm hurting a person. You know, who cares, though? That's, you're fighting. I know, but I just don't, I don't think I have, genuinely have, like, the fighting bone. And like I love to punch things.

Okay, but when you're feeling that feeling that you were talking about with your sister, like your hands are clenched. Then I can. That's what I'm saying. But there's not a lot of situations that make me feel that. Yeah, but you got to have that as a fighter. Yeah, and see, that's a problem. That's why you're not a fighter. Yeah, I'm not.

Like literally, every time I punched him, I was like, are you okay? He's like, you have to stop asking me if I'm okay. Just punch me. Man, I've never punched anyone. This is hard. There was this one kid, but it was kind of a back slap. Well, and you also like, when you also like, when you're, you're, you're hitting a bag, it's an open target.

Right. And when they start dodging you and everything, you're like, oh, this is a lot harder to hit a moving target than just like your bag that's right in front of you. Yeah. So that's also hard. You're not landing punches in the same way. Yeah. But I feel very powerful when I hit a bag because I got a lot of momentum.

But if you walk up to someone and you start doing whatever video I just saw, those combinations on them immediately, like they'd be done. Yeah. Like the fight's over. Yeah, I got a killer left hook. That's crazy. And you're right-handed? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's over. Lights out. Like, I pity the fool who wants to fight with you. Like, really. If I ever, if I ever did. But like I said, I'm a lover or not a fighter. I just like to hit things. I don't like to hit people.

Just things. Yeah. But they don't piss you off. You're going to hit them. Oh, well, hey, if I'm ever in a situation with a bad Uber again, I'll be good. Oh, exactly. Like, we were. Oh, Morgan almost died.

Yeah, right. You would have totally done that to that dude. Oh, it would have been, like, in a video, like, surveillance video somewhere, and I'm, like, scrappy. And I'm like, strut. Oh, there's that 3-1 combination. I think about that often where I'm like, if I'm ever in a situation,

I really hope there's surveillance camera if they just see me like taking some guy down. Like if something bad's going to happen to me, at least let me go out and fight my way out. You know what I mean? Well, yeah, but let's not. I don't want that to happen. We don't want anything to happen.

But if something has to happen, then preferably that. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that, trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no.

I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone?

I'm Ego Wodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever.

I went and had lunch with him one day. And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot.

He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head and the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah. It would not be. Right. It wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

Well, you also made us watch a movie this week. We had a cinema club. You loved it. I did not. Love is not a word I would use. Again, very bizarre that you say this is a good movie. I'm like, it's a wild movie. Okay. Let's not have this conversation again. Like, really, really. The whole, Morgan, you come to me and say, if it's such a good movie, like, I would watch it again.

And I don't want to watch it again. And that's not true. I'm a movie for Peter. Right. But murder mysteries, you don't want to watch again. If it's really good, I do. I watch action movies. Murder mysteries. The action is people die. You already know who done it. So why watch it again? I don't know. That's just my criteria for a good movie, Eddie.

Okay. I don't know why. That doesn't work for this movie. It definitely doesn't. For different reasons. I will say it could have been worse. Yeah. I gave it a decent rating.

It wasn't like the worst. You guys just don't like old movies. And I get it. It's fine. It's fine. It's really hard to watch old movies after having seen new movies. Yeah. If I experienced them when they happened,

it's a lot different. Right. See, I think there's so much magic that that's been made a long time ago. Why throw that away? You need to relive that magic for a little bit. Then go on to your new movies again. But you lived it when it came out. No, I didn't live it in 1948.

But you got to relive some of these older movies when they came out. What are you talking about? And they were on TV. That's like goonies. Yeah. But that's, see, I still don't even necessarily love a lot of those either. See, the problem with a young generation is you think. I think that you think that just because it's black and white, like anybody that's older than you was alive when those movies came out.

Okay, I don't. Yes, you do. If it's 1948, 58, 68, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, you think that I want movies when they didn't have high technology. You were alive when those came out. No, when they were. Like the first Star Wars. I was not alive. I swear it came out in the 80s.

No, 70s. Okay, sorry. But some of those first ones did come out in the 80s. Sure. And there I was alive. And that's what I'm talking about. Like, though, I'm just talking generically, the ones before technology really came into play. Those are hard for me to watch because I know now what they look like with this crazy technology.

Star sci-fi. Like that's like. And that's what I love, though. That's, you do love those movies and that's hard because the technology is bad. And the graphics are terrible, whatever. But rope storyline, there's nothing. It's not about like how real it looks or how they're talking. That story is awesome.

You know, but I also just wasn't really ready for the opening scene. Can I say this? Yeah, it's the opening scene. I mean, yeah. It's also like, what, 70 years old? Yeah. I was not prepared for a guy to be getting literally strangled in the first scene. And I really should have thought about it with rope being the title, but I just didn't.

And so it threw me off for the rest of the movie. Yeah, they freaked you out. I just wasn't ready for it. And all you heard is like scream and then he just limp. And I'm like, okay, all right. That happened. Yeah, I was not prepared for what was about to. I also didn't research it at all.

So that's why. But we had that happen. That was it. Do you have a TV show that you've watched recently that you kind of expected to not be really good or you'd be disappointed by and you ended up loving it? I'll let you think on it for a second. You need a minute think? Let me think, yeah.

Okay. The reason I'm asking you is because I was watching Superman and Lois, which is a show on CW. Superman? Superman, sorry. I just said it fast. Yes, and one there is. The twist of all time. There are multiple.

Actually, there are, never mind. That sounded dirty. Superman and Lois. It's like one of the newer ones on CW. That's the love. Is it about their relationship? Lois Lane. It's about their marriage.

They got married? Lois Lane and Superman? Yeah. Eddie. When did they get married? They get married and a lot of them. No, that's not true. Yeah.

They, no, they dated, but in the Superman Superman story, I know they broke up. They couldn't be together. They weren't compatible. Are you sure you're not talking about Lana? No. Lois. Because in Smallville, Lana, that is it. And he goes on to meet Lois.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Why are you saying it like that? Lana? Yeah. What do you mean? No, use it like Lana?

No, I know. You said it like a lunchbox way? No, I know the Lana story. No, no. Lois. I'm pretty sure. No, they get married. And this one, they're married and they have kids.

Wow. And I just really, I thought it'd be fine and I love superhero stuff, but I ended up loving it. And the season finale just happened of the third season. And it was insane. So I really liked it. Okay. Anything come to your mind? No, not really.

Oh, Scuba. Get on the mic. I got to ask. You need backup? Yeah, no, I just need to ask. Scuba. Back up. What's up?

Scoobah, three, two, one. Yeah, squawk on a truck around out with a lot lizards. Superman and Lois, they got married? I guess it depends on what you're watching because I used to watch that Lois and Clark. Yeah? You don't know talking about the adventures of Lois and Clark? I don't think they ever got married though.

I thought they were like, what did I say? Uncompatible. They were uncompatible. Yeah, I feel like they couldn't because she was a human and he was not. Right. There was always that sexual chemistry and tension. Absolutely.

Especially with Terry Hatcher and whatever is Dean, whatever is Dean Kane. Yeah, it was a great. I told Morgan to watch that, which I don't know if she's watched it yet. Well, the reason it got brought up because I'm watching the new Superman and Lois. You need to cancel that and watch the original Superman and Lois. Yeah, it's all about them being married and having kids. What?

That must be new. I was like, I've never heard of that. It's a new show in the last. It's just on it finished its third season. Yeah, I don't think he's, I don't think he can be with a human because of what he's able to do. That's what I thought. He can, but you should see what happens when they have kids. Oh, no.

Oh, boy. Super sperm. Oh, no. Oh, God. Why did it happen? Well, okay, apparently the older one, they did not get together, so you're not wrong. Thanks, scuba. Over and out.

I'll see you later. All right. Okay. But did something else come to your mind besides? Nah. No? Nothing that you ended up on? No, I mean, I don't really know what I've been watching, really.

Like, I'm just watching things. I don't know. Literally, I watch stuff and I'm just like, oh, all right, that was cool. Next. That was cool. Next. Okay, not a lot of thought behind it. I get it.

Let's go. Okay. We're going to move on. We had Richard Mark. on the show and he was really awesome. How cool was that? Oh, it was so cool. He's really awesome.

Speaking of things that you weren't alive for. We're going to go at this. Richard Marks was legit. Like, I've been meaning to text my cousin that picture of Richard Marks. So I took a picture while he's in here because every teenage girl when he was big, like loved him. He was the heartthrob. He was the, who is that of your generation? Justin Timberlake?

Harry Styles. Oh, you're talking about the younger generation. Well, I'm just saying that he was the Harry Styles of the 80s. Like, every girl loved him. It's crazy. And to have him in the studio, it was pretty nuts. Can I admit something to you? Up until we started talking about him on the show, I'd never heard of him.

Yeah. Which is pretty unusual. Normally I would have, even if I wasn't alive. Most of the time I've heard of, like, a lot of the hot heartthrobs and stuff you guys talk about. Yeah. But that was one I've not heard of. That's pretty crazy. I heard his song, like I knew his song, but I just didn't.

didn't know much about him. And that's crazy that you can write a song and everyone's heard it. Mm-hmm. And nobody knows who you are. And nobody knows who you are by your name. There's a lot of people that obviously do, but. Crazy. Isn't that wild?

Yeah. But yeah, he was really cool. He's a really, like, just cool interview. Mm-hmm. He has a lot of stories and a lot of just Kenny Rogers, Lionel Richie, Keith Urban. What I liked about his story is that he did have everything. Like he, he made it, you know, and how he fought to get there. And then when it ended, he didn't stop.

stop. He just started writing songs. And like, that's really cool to me. Like, where most people be like, man, like music's moving on. Like, they're not listening to my music anymore. Like, well, all right, time to start a family and just stay home and count my money. He didn't. He kept going. Because he loves music.

Obviously, his music background is so thick that he just wanted to keep making music. Well, and you know, maybe he's good. He talked about how he, like, and I don't say this in a joking way, but it is kind of funny to think about. But he said like one of the things he's very blessed and was his parents. And maybe it's because he was so loved and supported. He didn't feel like he like lost out when that ended. That's such a good point.

And I love that. I love hearing stories like that because I always, that's the kind of dad I want to be. Like you tell me what it is. What is it? Football. Is it doctor? You want to be a lawyer? Like whatever it is like, I've got your back.

I love that. And the fact that he was like talking about his dad like that is really cool. I have a feeling your boys will talk about you the same way. that would be cool. It's going to take them until they're in their 20s or so to really see it. Yeah, because they don't really talk about me like that now. No. Well, one to see it and one to be willing to share those emotions.

I think it was, was it Luke Combs or someone that would talk about their dad? No, it was Chase Rice talking about how his dad never missed a game. Yep. And like, that's been my goal too. Like, don't miss a game. And even when I'm out of town, I'll FaceTime the game. Yeah. like you're still there.

You know, I'm still there. I still want to see what's the result. We're still going to talk about it. You'd be surprised how much they remember that. Yeah. Especially as they get older. I mean, you look at Chase Rice and he's how old now

and he still remembers all of that. So I do think that's very important. You're a great dad, Eddie. Thank you, Morgan. I try. It's a lot. I didn't mean that jokingly. It's a lot to be a dad for two,

four crazy boys. Like, it's a lot. I think it's a lot to be a dad for one and you chose to do it before. And I think it's awesome. Yeah. I love that you're happy. Yeah, I am happy. I feel like I'm getting better at it

I do think that comes with life I just feel like I've gotten better control of it I mean I'll have like times maybe like you know talk to me in like six months do you be out of control again Do you feel like times passing by We were talking in the classroom how your oldest is driving Does it feel like crazy that that's happening already

Yeah It's really crazy Like you know how your phone does memories And like you just open it up And it does like a oh look at this from like 2005 and like a picture of him popped up as a baby and I'm like that is just crazy like he just takes you to that moment of where that picture was taken and like gosh that really it really does feel like five years ago yeah and now he's just driving the permit and he's such a

cool dude like he's such a cool dude I took him to um me Bobby and Mike D did a charity workout yeah and so I took him with with me and he's just what I like about him is my oldest He's 15, is that he really can talk to anyone. Like, he's just like, hey, like, what's up? So it sounds like he's adapted some of that from you. Yeah, yeah. He's not outgoing like me, but he can literally just talk to anyone about anything. So you like to work out?

It's like just weird stuff like that. And I don't have to worry about it. I take him these things and like, look at him. He's just talking to someone. I don't know what he's talking to him about. Does he have a girlfriend yet? No. He got his eye on somebody?

He's got, um, I think he's got a girl that he likes and they talk, but I don't think he's told her that that he likes her yet. Oh, it's kind of one of those things. He doesn't really know how to do it. This is the first one. Yeah. Are you going to help him?

Like if he comes to you? No, I know. He doesn't want to talk to me about that stuff. But what if he does? Like, say he finally got to, would you, like, help him through it? Sure. One thing he has to learn how to do is to not bother people with, like, text. Because, like, if he, if he texts me and I can't get to it, he will text me 20 times.

Hello, dad, where are you? Miss call, miss call, miss call. Eddie, I'm like, dude. You gotta get ahead of that one. I was like, dude, you gotta stop doing that. Like, I know it's just me and I know you're really trying to get a hold of me. Like, were you dying? No, no, no, I just want to know where the remote was.

Right, that's my point. Like, if you do that to a girl, she will run faster than you've ever seen her away from you. What does he say when you tell him that? Okay. Like, I'm serious. Work on it. And he's like, okay. This is going to be his thing.

This is going to be what happened. I hope not. I hope not. Really. Well, because it's you saying it. So until it happens with the person he likes. Oh my gosh, he's going to ruin it.

But do you know what I mean? Like, we don't learn our lessons until it truly like destroys us. Hey, why are you not responding? What are you doing? Who are you with? You have a boyfriend. You have another boyfriend, don't you? But it doesn't strike me as like an insecurity of him.

It's just like a lack of patience maybe. It is. It is just like that's all it is. Lack of patience. But the woman, the girl, is not going to know this. Uh-huh. She's going to be like, wow, this guy's crazy. Yeah.

Oh, Eddie. I know. I've already brought it up. I brought it up a couple times. You're like putting the, dip in the toes in the water. My wife and I love to do that, though. Like whenever he doesn't do his dishes or whatever, like, hey, have you brushed your teeth today? Like, no, dude, I'm telling you, you have a girlfriend and she smells your breath like that?

She's gone. Like, we do it all the time. Like, hey, you ever go to your house? You ever go to your girlfriend's house and you don't wash your own dish? Like, she's going to run. I love that you guys are raising them that way. Always, always. It will be great men to.

date. Yes. Proud of you guys. Dude, if you don't put the toilet seat down, like, you got to teach them early, it'll be implemented in their brain. Totally. Yeah. You're doing great.

Yeah, thank you. I'm very proud of you. Oh, well, we also had the worst, you know, moment of my life this week when Scoobo Steve decided to use AI to assess our show. That was terrible. That was terrible. But I got, I got to admit, I laugh so hard. I'm laughing.

Not like, yeah, it was a great for me. No, but I laughed. It was a funny bit. And so it is what it is. That's why it's coming in the number one spot. Don't need to dig it in anymore. What are you doing? We got Fourth of July coming up.

What are you doing? I'm going to the beach. I'm going to Florida. I'm going to the beach. You going to shoot some fireworks off on the beach? Okay. Oh my gosh. No, I'll never do that again.

Morgan, this was like, I want to say four years ago, five years ago. Me and my in-laws and my whole family, whatever, and all of my wife's family, we all went to the beach. And it was fourth of July. And I was like, does anybody want to get fireworks? They're like, nah, we're good. I'm like, what is wrong with you all? Like, let's go.

Fourth of July and my father-in-law is a rule follower. Like, he'll never break a rule. Are you sure they let you pop fireworks in the beach? I'm like, who cares? Like, if they don't want me to, they'll tell me to stop. But I'm going to go buy fireworks. So I went, I spent $100 on fireworks. I'm like, that's big money.

That's a lot of money, especially if you didn't know if you can shoot them off. Right. 100 bucks on fireworks. All for the kids. I got special things for the kids. Sparklers over here. We got the big ones that pop up in the sky. everything. We go out to the beach

and I think there was like probably a bazillionaire like sitting right next to us and he had crates of fireworks Morgan. Like these were like he must have spent a hundred thousand dollars on these fireworks and him and his family were sitting

back drinking champagne and like pop it boom and it was like really World War II. The biggest fires and me with my little like $100 like and my whole family laughing at me. You go probably just. My whole family, I was like, can we go somewhere else in the beach?

Like, can we not sit next to these guys? But this is where you should have befriended him and then shot off theirs too. Oh, we did. I mean, we were having fun with each other or whatever. But, I mean, my fireworks were like nothing. You're a little teeny tiny turn to shell. Oh, my gosh. It was like, I was so excited when I bought him.

Then I didn't even want to pop them. Like, this is so embarrassing. So never again. Never again. You don't need to feel that embarrassment again. This dude, I don't know how much you spent on fireworks. It was crazy. I love fireworks.

Like crates. So fun. Crates. Do you like, what do you like? It does blow my mind that people spend that much money on fireworks. You're literally burning your money. Straight up. Like you're.

I'll only buy like a few to like light them off, get the feeling and I might take cool I'm good. Right. Yeah. Run away. Yeah, we're good. Little rumming candles. I love the poppers throwing them on the ground and popping them.

Yeah, those are cool. Those are fun. I mean, that you can buy it like Walmart. Yeah. I love those. And the turtle shells, though. Those are the ones that go in the air. Oh, those are cool.

You put, like, you drop the little bomb in. Yep. And then you light the fuse and then you run away as fast as you can. See, those are the kinds of ones I had. Yeah. But they were nothing compared to it. At least they still go in the air. Yeah, but they were, I would say, 10,000 feet shorter than the other ones.

Hey, it's okay. You're providing a full fireworks to slay. Yeah. You needed the little ones. Yeah. And a fireworks show has both. I do like, there's bottle rockets or there's like a rocket with a parachute guy. Yeah.

Those are cool. See, I love getting those for the kids because like, all right, I'm popping them. Like, whoever finds it gets $5.5. And so they see the guy like, okay, where is he? Where is he? Yeah. You know, we used to, like, growing up, we used to light off fireworks all the time. Like, it was a thing.

And then as we got all of my dad was, realized how bad it was. For houses around and everything. And so he really stopped doing it. But I think it was like two years ago, I went home and I didn't have any plans. And I was like, I'm going to get fireworks. I'm going to light off something. I'm doing something. And it was just me and my dad.

And every time I did one of my turtle shells, like I'd run out and lie it and then run back, you just sit there like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. I'm like nervous. Like, she's going to lose a finger or this house is going to catch it on fire and he's just in there. And then he, after every single one, are you done yet? Did you light him off? Like just waiting for it to be over and I'm like, I have like 10 of these.

And this is the only thing I'm doing tonight. That's so funny. So we don't do doing much anymore. We, I mean, we used to do Roman candle fights. Like the stupidest stuff. I know. I'm really glad we don't anymore. I bought a tank once.

And my, for some reason, I swear I pointed that tank like north where no one was sitting. And I lit it and it turned. It just went like, like literally like it was a little soldier in there. Like, oh, there's Eddie's mom. And turned right to her and shot her. And she was like, ah! It burned her.

Like she had burn marks on her arms. I'm like, I swear I didn't point it that way. Mom, I promise. I promise. I think that's the point of the tank firework is that it can go in all directions. It literally just went like, oh, there's a person. Pop, pop. That's funny.

So funny. It'll be fun though. What are you doing? What are you doing? You're going home? Yeah, I'll be home hanging with family. I'll be flying back actually from going to Utah for a little bit. So I'm just going to be chilling with the fam.

No fireworks, though. I'm not going to stress your dad out. Stress my dad out. I also don't like stressing my dog out either. Yeah, I know. I don't do it as much anymore. I backed off. I like watching them.

They're so fun to watch, but I may just chill. So, no. And I may see him on my plane over while I'm, I'm flying. I've seen that. It's really amazing to see fireworks like down below. It's really cool. Yeah.

So I am excited to like fly on Fourth of July. Don't get hit by one though. Why did you put that out there? Well, I'm just saying, you know, like you can. Why did you just put that in first? I'm just saying. Tell your pilot when you want. Watch out for those fireworks when you're flying.

Well, no crap. I don't know if they thought about that. Dang it's in the universe. All right. Eddie, tell people where they can find you on social media. At producer Eddie, if you want smoke chicken, let me know. No, I really, I'm not. I was going to say, I wouldn't, I wouldn't suggest that.

I'm just kidding. I'm not delivering that or anything. Right now, it's in beta mode. But yeah, at producer. Don't stay in beta mode forever. Yep. At producer Eddie, Bobby Bone Show. Cool.

Yeah, it's pretty much it. All right. Well, you can also follow me at WebGrove Morgan on all the things in the show at Bobby Bone Show. Eddie, thanks for coming on. Thank you, Morgan. I hope you have a safe and fun holiday weekend. You too. Don't let those fireworks hit the plane.

You know what I'm saying? You really got to stop putting that out on the universe. You know what I'm saying? Just for that, I hope you are next to a millionaire and you bought your own fireworks this year. And feel dumb again? Yes. I feel stupid. No, for real.

Everybody be safe. I hope you guys have so much fun. Eddie, you too. Everybody, we love you. Bye. Bye. The Bobby Bones show. Bones.
