Part 2. Just the Bits. Hello, everyone, and happy weekend. It is Best Bits time. I hope you guys are having a fabulous start to your weekend. Well, before we dive into the segments from the show this week, which there are so many, I want you guys to check out part one with Lunchbox this weekend. We talked about getting to meet Post Malone at the Million Dollar Show. Not only that, we got some updates on Lunchbox's Life and the invention that we only recently discovered. So fun stuff over there.

And then in part three, we did a listener Q&A and found out why Lunchbox just isn't following through on some things lately. and if his kids reflect the stereotypes of, you know, the first born, the middle, and the youngest child. So really fun stuff, part one, part three. Give it a shot if you have it. And I will say, no yelling from Lunchbox this weekend. Both of us were pretty tired following the million dollar show. It's been a very long week.

So it was pretty tame. If you don't listen because of the yelling, you can feel safe in knowing there is none this weekend. All right, y'all, let's talk about the bits from the show this week. Let's go. Woohoo! Eddie has been complaining the last. few weeks of some stomach pain and then he tried to get a doctor's appointment and complained about

how he wasn't able to get in for a couple weeks. Well, that doctor appointment was this week, but it happened to fall on the million dollar show and because of that, Eddie canceled it. You're going to get his full reasoning and what he was thinking and why, but he's still dealing with stomach pain and he canceled his doctor's appointment. I don't know. The logic is just not logicing. Number seven. Eddie, what was your original ailment? What was hurting on you? My abdomen. The right side of my abdomen is just hurting. It wasn't like a sharp pain. It was just a dull pain constantly. And you don't think you heard it like working out? I don't think so.

So Eddie started to go, I think he thinks he has cancer. Stomach cancer. He read the internet. And you can't read the internet and take the worst possible thing they say as number one. But I read a story on the internet of a guy saying that I had a pain. I ignored it for months. Next thing you know, I have stage four cancer. Oh no. But he's got in his own head. That's the worst case scenario. So what do you do in that case? Don't ignore it. Hold on, hold on. Everybody hold.

There's so many. Amy, you're right now you're feeding the monster. Thank you, Amy. There are so many stories that are never written of very similar situations because they're not that. Yeah, you're right. No one ever writes like I had a pain. I checked it out. It was nothing.

Yeah, it was gas. You're right. All I'm saying is you can't. This is for everybody because we all do it. I do it as well at times. When you go, let me search something and find out what's wrong with me or my animal or my husband. And then you go, oh, for sure, I'm dying tomorrow. It's very, very, very rarely the worst case.

So I'm going to say you don't have stomach cancer, but I don't know for sure. I do think you to go to the doctor. Didn't you have an appointment? I had an appointment. I set it up and they said it was a month out. So I'm like, this isn't good. Like, guys, what if I'm dying and you're giving me a month out? I remember that you could have died in the month.

But did you die? I haven't died yet. Boom. And the appointment was April 3rd. Oh, which is today. Today. Okay, good. I can't do it.

We have the million dollar show today, so I had to cancel it. What time was your appointment? It was at 2 o'clock. You could go to that? No, we have rehearsal. You can not rehearse. Go ahead and get your... No, no, we have rehearsal.

We're going to be there all day. It's a thing, so I didn't realize, so I had to cancel it now. So when's your next one? A month from now. Do you think you're going to die in that month? I could. Well, we're going to be in Austin for IHeart country. Oh, my goodness.

It's never a good time. So, just... It's always a good time if you prioritize that time. I've already been holding my kids tighter, dude. You're being stupid now. Stop. I'm not. You're being dramatic.

Extra time with them. You've been holding your kids tighter. Extra time. Wow. It's like love deeper. You don't really think you have cancer in your stomach. I do. Do you think it's a possibility?

I think it's a huge possibility. Yes. Then you would have. Then you go today. You go today. And who cares about the rehearsal? We rehearsed Monday night. We will do the show.

We're fine for a couple hours. I want to be my best when we play the million dollars. You're looking at a little first. Really? Yeah. I would have kept that appointment today. Really? Yeah. Can you get it back?

No, I think it now. I mean, I can call them. I would call them. I would call them. I would call them. I would call them. I would call them. But I even told them like, what if I'm dying of cancer? Like, sir, it's probably not cancer. Exactly.

But they don't know. They don't know from what I told them. One time I thought I was dying. I called doctor like in a, like, I was on fighter because I called and I went, there's blood in the toilet. And they went, what? I said, I think I'm dying. I think I have cancer. That was in the story, too.

That is an indicator of something. There's blood. S.F. cancer in my butt. And they said, sir, you don't. I said, how can you diagnose that on the phone? Exactly. They can't say that? And they were like, okay, when can you come in? And I went in like four days later. And that's when I found out, I had my first hammerway.

Oh. Well, that's good news. Because that's not deadly. No, but I mean, sometimes it feels like I want to die. Still today? Yeah, I don't know. I think you should try to get the appointment. I don't know if I can go today, but we'll see. Well, we hope you, obviously we hope you don't have cancer.

I don't think you have cancer. They don't think you have cancer. and has it gotten any better? But they don't know. I mean, maybe I had it once a day or twice a day that would just kind of linger or whatever, but now maybe every other day. Feels like it's getting better. I doubt it.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Bobby's birthday was this week, so lots of celebration. But more than that, he shared the gift that his wife, Caitlin, got him. That may just be his favorite gift ever now. And that's what you're about to hear. Number six. I never been a big birthday guy. Probably just never really had big birthday celebrations as a kid growing up.

But gifts are kind of my love language. I like to get people gifts. I like to get gifts. Again, I think my love language is because I didn't get a lot of that. So I feel like that's what's like with somebody, wow, someone thought to get me something. That's crazy. And I try to put a lot of time into getting gifts for other people. Same type of, I'm sure, trauma that has created that being my love language.

I get home yesterday What was I doing? Maybe just, I was working And so I got home around one yesterday And my wife's like, hey, I'm going to go ahead and give you your gift Because she knew today I was busy, not birthday wise, I'm just busy for most of the day until tonight She goes, I'm going to go ahead and give you your gift

That way we can have a little bit of time To just talk about it, celebrate you Without being rushed. Because people are also coming in town tonight Because our big St. Judea Ryman shows tomorrow. So I'm like, cool, and I get in and I open it up. It's in a big box. The box is like two feet tall, about a foot and a half wide.

It looks like it could be a picture because it's thin, but the dimensions are that. And I'm like, well, that's interesting. So I open it up. And it's like seven pieces of cardboard really thin stacked on top of each other. And I've never seen a gift like this before. I don't know what it is. And so I'm like, well, this is packaged. weird. It's April Fool's Day too, right? I'm like,

it's a joke. It's just like it's not. You'll understand what you open it, why it's stacked that way. So it was actually a very thing, something very thin and all of the cardboard was just to keep it safe. And so I peel it up. And the irony is, way before I got into sports memorabilia

or buying things that people had signed, my wife went and found at this live auction from Planet of Hollywood a letter that Andy Kaufman wrote himself fully handwritten, like a self-inspiration letter. Andy Kaufman, my dead hero, Dave Letterman, my live hero.

And so it's a full letter called Why Breakfast is Meaningless. It's a full page of his writing from the 70s. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's crazy. That's awesome. She won it at an auction for you? Yeah, because it had to be an in-person. So she had to get one of those things where you're on a phone with somebody telling them.

That's crazy. That's a real deal. So I got it. Almost cried. Yeah. Like you got a little misty. Well, no, I just, what's that feeling whenever you're like, it like feels good, but then you got a little water in your eyes.

Like feeling something. It was that and I wasn't trying not to, but like, I was like, dang. But. That's so cool, man. Like love. Maybe that's what it is, the feeling of love. Yeah, it was amazing. And so.

Were you going to put that one in the bedroom? I'm going to sell on eBay. I'm just kidding. No, stop. I'm just kidding. He's love. I've loaded it up already. No, no, no.

I don't know. I got to frame it. But, you know, the paper, I have a picture of it. I'll post it up on my Instagram today. But it's pretty awesome, pretty thoughtful. You know, she spent like three months trying to get it. What are you going to get me? Right.

Right. It's impossible, man. Right. She nailed it, though. And whatever that feeling is, where your eyes are a little wet behind them and, like, you're feeling like, ooh. But also, there's, like, you know, I don't know that version of it. But, yeah, it's pretty awesome. So that's what you got me. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

Luda. Yeah, you know, ludicrous, the only Luda I could say that about. He was on our show this week, and he had hosted our I Heart Radio Music Awards. But we got him to talk about Fast and Furious because he's been in that movie franchise for so long, and he even revealed how much his first residual check was from the very first movie he was in, which was just super cool. You know when they reveal something for the first time, you're like, ooh, dang, exclusive.

That's what this was. And it came from Ludacris himself. So, without further ado, this is the interview with Ludacris. Number five. Go! On the Bobby Bone Show now. Ludacris. Hey, big fan, Ludacris, Chris.

Hey, what do humans call you in real life? Chris, you can call me Chris. It's all good. Everywhere you walk, do people just yell, Luda. and at this point it's just like white noise? They definitely do. And it's still not white noise because those are the people that made me, man. So I addressed them just the same way they address me.

You yell back. Random guy. Yeah, yeah. Gotta yell back. Bobby Bones. Louda! We're all massive fans. We're super excited.

You're hosting the IHard Radio Music Awards, which, by the way, tonight live on Fox 8-7 Central from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. It's like you've been able to do so much. much, obviously, radio, killing hip hop, Grammys, movies, and now you're hosting. Like, where do you find the most joy now in your career? Like, where are you most fulfilled? Doing all of those things, man, it's diversifying the portfolio, man. I find joy and entertainment.

So you just named a whole bunch of things within the realm of the entertainment industry, and I love it. I love it all. What do we not know that you do that you invest a lot of yourself in? Man, hopefully people do know this, but, you know, just a family, man. being a dad and having four kids, all daughters. So, you know, I'm here and just making sure that I spend time with them. I love doing that.

I think on that note, I just want to shout out Karma's World on Netflix, which is inspired by your oldest daughter. I adopted two kids from Haiti about six years ago. So just having, you know, representation and things like that, I seek it out. It Matters and having something like that on Netflix is really cool. No, I greatly appreciate that. It's four seasons.

So if anybody's hearing it for the first time, go check out Karma's World. You'll love it. So when you host a show, like the IHeart Radio Music Awards, like, what do you have to do? Are you, how many, like, clothing changes do you have to do? Or are you just going out, it is what it is? Like, I don't know. Like, what does Ludacris do when he hosts a show? Yeah, you know, it's more trying to give us artists, because I'm also performing,

humbly speaking, so, you know, we're going to give them as much time. So I don't feel like I have to do but so many changes as a host. But they'll definitely be a change between hosting and actually getting on that stage as a performer so I got to do that. Do you feel, because then where we are, a lot of the artists, if they have massive songs from 5, 10, 20 years ago,

that they have to compete themselves, their new music with their old music. Like people, like, it's got to be as good as it used to be. Do you feel that about yourself as much where it's like, I'm put out something new? Like, it's got to be like, it almost is competing with your old stuff. So if you're performing, people need to love it

at least as much? Yeah, yes and no. It's like you never want to do the same thing over and over again. You want to continue to, you know, do evolve with your music. But at the same time, you want to make sure that you satisfy the core audience and the core of who you are. But I believe evolution is better than trying to do the same thing over and over again any day. For you, what was the first song where you actually felt it like a seismic shift,

people coming to shows, not just a grind? Yeah, which one? Nick, Nick, Nick, lick you from your head to your toes. I'm on the, what's your fantasy smash, man? And that was the one I did independently and then got picked up by Def Jam. So very happy about that. Did you have to radio change any of the words? And was that weird for you, if so?

Yeah, there was definitely. But you know that this was at the time, and I think it still is like this, where you just do a radio edit where they take sound effects and just bleep some of the curse words out. Yeah, that's funny. Also, to have so many songs that you could probably just hold the microphone out at your shows and everybody knows every word. Like if I had like a cold or something, I'll be like, you guys do it. Yeah, right.

That's got to be it. Not having a cold. And it's like the craziest thing in the world because the performer, you're getting paid to do all the lyrics. And you're just holding the mic out to the crowd. And they're doing everything for you. You're just staying there. That's stealing. Stealing.

What about internationally when you go to these other countries and they don't really speak English? Yet they know every word to these English songs. That's the most mind-blowing thing and let you know how huge hip-hop is, man. I think that's the greatest thing ever, ever. It's mind-blowing, and it's just, it shows how music can bring people together. Morgan, a question for Ludacris? Yeah, I'm so curious. You've been part of that Fast and Furious franchise for several years now.

Like, how did that all come about? And how did you decide that was the right project for you to do? Yeah, John Singleton, who was the director on Part 2, and may he rest in peace, he asked me to try out for it. And I was on tour with M& Him at the time, believe it or not. And I was backstage, and it was like, we need it by tomorrow. And I was like, man, I got to hurry up and read these lines. I took maybe 20 minutes to try and understand the scene, read it on camera,

and the next day they told me I got it. That's pretty much how it worked. And the rest is history. That's awesome. Those movies have shifted a bit to now they're also funny. Like when you guys are in space, that's not a spoiler, but like, I mean, you've done so many of them. At what point were you like, all right, the fast franchise is, again, you guys pivoted as well. How did you feel about that shift?

I feel great, man. I'm like to be a part of something like that that is ingrained and real estate in people's heads for the rest of their lives. I mean, listen, I'm just humbled and grateful to just be a part of this family that's so huge worldwide, so huge. And I think we have one more left

because the last one was open-ended. So we'll see what happens. Favorite car that you own? 93 Accura legend. Is that the original? That's not the original, but it's my original. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Is that why you love it because it was like the one that you had?

Yep. There you go. Before the record deal, before all the fame and money, that's the one I had. Ludacris hosting tonight, 2024 IHartRadio Music Awards live on Fox at 8, 7 Central. JT, Green Day, TLC, JLC, Jolly Roll, Lainie Wilson, Tate McCray, and a whole bunch of more. Lunchbox is a question before we go, before we let Ludacris go. Yeah, I know you're really rich. And so I want to know, did you get more rich from hip-hop, from acting?

Where do you make your most money? It's about equal at this point, man. Like I still make a lot of money from music, humbly speaking. You know, I do a lot of shows. I do a lot of tours. I publishing. And on the other hand, you know, movies like Fast and Furious, the gift that keeps on good.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd be there for that pivot too. Like with the Fast and Furious, like if it goes way back, like a residual check, like, you know, sometimes people get a residual check in the mail. It's like $5. Like, what are your... You can't ask them what a specific checks are? Yeah, yeah.

No, from Fast and Furious, like the first one he was ever in. So you're asking if he still gets checks for number one? Yeah, the first one he was in. Yes. Like, does he ever get, like, a random check in the mail for that specific one? No, no, no, she's right. She's right. There are random checks that come along.

But I would say the more you're in, the more you negotiate to get more on the back end. That's basically how it works out. But the first one I was in, I think it was just an upfront check. I don't remember getting but so many back-end checks. Okay. You were asking specific dollar amounts. I'm not going to accept that. Ludacris, good luck tonight.

Thank you. Bobby Bones is, okay, listen, the Bobby Bones show, listen, this is something that's never happened in the history of ludicrous. Since it was so long ago, I'm going to reveal the information of the first check, if I'm not mistaken, of too fast, too furious.

I believe it was like half a million dollars. Oh, my hell. And that was just for the first one? Yeah. This has never been done. I mean, guys, so for these, he's making multiple millions of dollars. Yeah, but I don't think that's breaking news.

I think that's the exact. Ludacris is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich. Yeah, but I think we expected that. You never know, man. Now I have four kids. No, no, but I got a question. Do you buy your kids anything they want because you're rich, rich? Absolutely not.

They got to earn what they want. Come on now, we got to teach them. You got to teach them the fish. Oh, my gosh. But then they get in the Lambeau to go to school. It's like, whoa, this is weird. Yeah, and by the way, when I did that, I didn't have any kids. So that half a million was a lot of money and I was rich.

Now I got four kids and a whole family. So no matter if I make more now or not, that's right. Ludicrous, appreciate the time. Have a great day. Good luck tonight. Thank you, man. All right. See you later.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, a slight. change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our

resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that needs. None of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the I-Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, you already know there's a lot to break down. Gorsha accusing Kelly of sleeping with a merry man. They holding Kay Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues.

We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich.

A lot of doctor things happening on the show this week. Amy admitted that she wants to go see a doctor in the woods. I feel like I shouldn't say any more besides that and just let you guys hear this segment for yourself. Number four. Is this lady a real doctor or like Dr. Love? Well, I don't know her credentials. I just know that they call her like the doctor.

The doctor in the woods. No, she could be a medical. doctor holistic, I don't know, maybe functional medicine. Doctor in the woods? I just know. People go to her because she like heals people. She's in the woods of Kentucky. Tell these guys.

Oh, boy. What? Again, I just ask, is she what I would consider a doctor? Someone who has been credentialed to give medical advice. Go ahead. I don't know yet because I'm still waiting on getting the email of the information on how to book and where to go. Oh my gosh, you're going to go to her. But multiple people in town have gone to the woods of Kentucky

and met with this dog. doctor and they feel so much better. What happens in the woods? Right. Well, I think she just looks into your eyes and then tells you that. He's a witt. And what does this cost? I don't know yet.

You think which, I think scam. Oh. What is her name? Guys, all I know is I was at another medical appointment, like at a real medical facility in Nashville and they were talking about her. In what way? Like, can you believe people go to this? No, no.

And like, yeah, I'll send you the information. I've had plenty of patients that have come in and talked about her and have had much success. When you say in the woods, do you have to like... By plenty, I mean too. Like a trek by foot? Yeah. Yeah, because I've Googled, go into the woods, Kentucky doctor, and I've got nothing. You've got a hundred Dr. Woods.

Yeah, I got... Oh, that's a good one. Dr. Woods. Right, no, no, no, no. She is like a little house in the woods. Little house. What? Are there dwarfs in there, Drew?

But why would you go to her? So why are people saying to feel better? I went to like, are you sick? Listen, I know a couple trailers you can go to if he's trying to feel better in Arkansas. No, that ain't the same thing. There you know, doctor in the trailer. Like, because I, you know,

I don't know what, with perimenopause, low testosterone, and different things I have going on. I'm like, you know, trying to not be on my ADHD meds to making sure that I'm good, being off my antidepressants. I feel like there's just a list of things.

Like, I want to feel really good and maybe she could, you know, whip up a concoction. I found her. Why do you need a concoction in the woods of Kentucky? Why not just, you know, consult with the medical professional.

Right, right, right. Down the road. Go to the medical center. Obviously, PhD. I know, I know. I know. I know. It sounds crazy. But I think that she has a gift.

But you don't know because you don't know her name. Oh gosh. But I've heard she has a gift. What I'm saying is I'm waiting on the email. I'll see if it's legit. I'm willing to go to figure it out and then I'll let y'all know. And then Bobby, like you're sleep apnea. You're not sleeping.

I'm doing better. You know why? Went to a doctor. Doctor, doctor. I learned about this doctor while I was at the actual doctor. So this doctor recommended you go to a woods doctor? Or did you just hear them talk about it? No, no.

And what's this magic pill she gives? No, he was saying he was going to try to go. The doctor, your doctor here in the city said he wanted to go see the doctor in the woods. The guy that works at the doctor. It wasn't a doctor. It was somebody that worked there. It was probably like a security guard or something. You're going to waste your money.

It wasn't a security card. It was. But no, it wasn't. It wasn't. I think you need to find it after a doctor. It's highly respectable. I promise you, if you were to meet this person. you were like, okay, they're a legit.

Which person? The doctor? The business person. Oh, boy. No, no, no. And the patients that he said that had already gone there, they were very happy. Oh, he gave your HIPAA information out? That's not good.

He didn't have it because he wasn't a doctor. Do the cops know about- HIPAA is just not telling people's names and personal information. You can have stories. He doesn't. Okay. No, I thought you can't talk about the people's medical stuff. You talk about a hippo and you're a doctor.

You can't play hungry, hungry hippos. You can't. Okay, well, we don't think this is a great idea for a couple reasons, but please let us know the updates. Okay, if I can get the address and I can go, can lunchbox go with me? What, no. You need safety? Why would you want to take him over somebody like Ray who could actually beat somebody up? Okay, can Ray go with me.

Is it during the week? Now you need security to go to a doctor? I think anytime you go to the woods alone, you should have to. How about not go to a doctor in the woods alone? Online appointments are only 8 p.m., 9 p.m., 10 p.m. There's no online. It's in the woods. Amy, are you going to wear a hood, a red hood?

It's like fantasy. It's a little red riding hood. No. Listen. I don't. It sounds too good to be true. I know. No, it's not worried to say.

No, no. Just let us know what happens with this. I will. I'm going to keep you posted. This is not ideal. The salesperson that works here. This is why you get scammed a lot. You just believe stuff.

Okay. We have a salesperson that works here. The one. Rick recommended this? That sings with Abby at Christmas time. He goes to her? He heard it too. So now everybody just heard it.

Where did he hear it? How did you talk to him about it? Like were you just sitting there? Hey, what about that people are doctors? There should be no rumor about a person being a doctor and that's why you want to go because the rumor of them might. Anyway, let us know. No, the rumor is not that they're a doctor.

The rumor is what? The rumor is that people have gone to her and they come back and they feel so much better. By what though? By what method? I'm not sure. yet because I haven't gone. Because, I mean, she could give you the drug ecstasy and you'd feel good. Oh, wow.

Yeah. Oh, boy. Well, I know. Apparently one story was she looked into their eyes and was like, hey, are you on this, this and this? And they were like, yes. They're like, she's like, get off that. You'll feel so much better.

That was her. That's her medical advice? She looked in someone's eyes. Hey, everybody. I'm healing you right now. Well, I once had someone. You know the difference of me and her, though? I am a doctor.

You are, for real, for real. I once went to this person in a strip mall. Oh, boy. And they looked into my eyes and told me that my left knee had issues. And I was like, But I was like, you're right. My left knee does have. That's like somebody saying they can talk to your dead relatives and going, I just see a vowel.

Well, I. Somebody older than you had a vowel in their name that died. And you're like, yeah, my grandpa. I know, but this was years ago. Like if you say my left knee hurts, it does. No, no, no. It didn't until you said that. But now it's, I'm old enough to where just everything hurts if I think about.

I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm worried about Amy. I'm, uh, yes, I'm worried, but I'm more entertained, so we're going to go with that. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. Luke Brian may just be one of my favorite people in country music. He stopped by the studio this week. No team, no nothing. He was all by himself. And he was talking about new music. But not only that, he's got a new project happening with Peyton Manning. And he answered deep questions with Bobby. And I say he's one of my favorite because I just love his interview. He's hilarious and he's just a normal person but has this mega stardom and you never know it.

That's what I love about him. Number three, the Friday morning conversation with Luke Brian. I got a question for you. We were talking about earlier this week because I went to watch Chris Tomlin's concert, aside from The Message, which was amazing. Like it was the best sounding concert I've ever been to. It blew me away. Yeah.

What's the best concert you've ever been to? Because I don't even know all the words to every song. I've got to be honest, I like going to concerts where I know all the words. But that still is now the best concert. I've ever been to. The best concert I've ever been to. Let me... I mean, probably when Reba came out in, like, the jet on stage and just all of the, you know,

the theatrics of what she did, like, when she was just making it happen. I mean, it was pretty impressive. And the fact that she was in Albany, Georgia, which essentially is my hometown, and she brought that kind of show even to that kind of smaller. market. But she was there for like three nights and it was pandemonium for our town to get that show. Whenever you were younger, did most shows not come to Albany? Did you have to go to Atlanta? Well, we didn't even think about going to Atlanta. I mean, you know, Albany had a pretty big civic center at the time. You know, probably a 10,000 cedar. And, you know, we used to get some

pretty interesting shows and like the Backstreet Boys were there one time. So, I mean, that was kind of. Did you go to that one? I did, but it was like a, you went because everybody went. That's what I would say too about New Kids on the Block. I'd be like, I don't even like, oh, I just like, you know. Well, I didn't. I really didn't. I mean, I knew, but I remember all of us, you know, we were all making fun of one another.

Was it, what did I say? Backstreet Boys. No, new kids. New Kids on the Block. No, it was new kids. Yeah, I used to do that too. I'd be like, I don't know what I did, but I did like secretly. We went because we knew the girls were going to be there, you know.

I would say too. But yeah, we had like, like Def Leopard came through there, Alabama. But a lot of the concerts, like there would be some, like 38 special came there. And like my, and then I never will forget, Joan Jett was opening for somebody. And my uncle Bill was sitting on the front row. And he's like down there with overalls and a John Deere hat on. And John Jett just walks right out and just flips him the bird, like just right at his face. Like for rock and roll reasons or for like...

Just like being a rock star. You know, there's my Uncle Bill down there. Classic Uncle Bill. Did you come up by yourself? I'm just here. I saw him come in by himself and I'm like, that's a guy who's comfortable. Just showed up? I don't like, I don't have a radio person here.

My management's not here. Like I could literally say anything to retire myself and end it all right now. We'd beep you. We'd save you. Don't worry. I want to talk about the new single real quick. So we'll play it and then come back. But I love you, miss, you mean it.

Yeah. It's new music, but it's like there's, you got a whole six songs coming out, right? The whole six songs. Did we announce that we're doing that? Uh-oh, no one's here to say that. Nobody's here. That's what I was told. That's what happens when I don't get, you know, Britain.

No, we, I'm joking about that. But the thing is, yeah. Do you want to see my paper? Yeah, let me see what you're supposed to talk to me about. Well, that's just the front state. On the top part, it says the single, and then it says six new songs. Oh, I didn't know it was in November. Yeah, it's coming out in November.

You know, I'm really on top of my, you know, I'm really locked in to what I'm doing these days. That's good. You know the single then. Because you sang it. Love you. Yeah, I actually was in the, I didn't get A-I'd on that. It was actually me. But as we're in the process of trying to figure out, like, how important, like, huge 20, or 15-songs,

albums are. My goal is to find four songs that I like, whether I wrote them or not, just go in and cut them and do that about every two or three months to keep just, it's fun being in there, recording music you're excited about. So with me, yeah, and we'll do, we've never even technically put like country on on like an, you know, we don't have an album. It's just existed by itself. It's just out there, yes. So we'll compile all that and then put something together that we really like. But I've got probably, I've got, hold on, this will be funny, oh, never mind. Is somebody calling you? It's people looking for me now. Yeah, he's in here. We're rolling. We got him. We're going. We're on. But we, you know, so I'm just going to put music out and I'm really,

really, all joking aside, I mean, when I heard Love You Miss You mean, and I was like, that's a song that really seems to be like kind of got the juice. The Friday morning conversation with Luke Brian. All right, let's do deep questions with Luke Brian. Ooh. Deep, deep. Well, it sounds weird, but you got three questions here. Number one, Luke Brian, where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Ooh, where do I see myself in 10 years? Hopefully, I'd like to do summers in Tennessee. in winters in tropical warmer stuff. I'd love to have like a nice sport fishing boat.

It's big enough just to sit on. Don't you have them warm? Well, I've got a center console that it's actually totaled. We just a tornado hit the warehouse that it was in and it totaled it. So I'm officially out

of a offshore boat. But I'd like to get like one that you can, you know, you can stay on, go send it to the keys, fly to the keys, hop on it, sit on the deck, listen to Jimmy Buffett and drink vodka and go fish.

What do you see yourself doing 10 years musically? You know, I think kind of what I'm doing now, really having, you know, having a lot of fun doing it. As long as, as long as I feel like I could get up there and sing like I want to, but I'm going to always kind of have concerts around the deal. You know, do I wake up and I'm like, I'm going to conquer the world this year,

and I'm going to have global dominance. I mean, you know, I'm just going to kind of let the songs steer the course and not, if things go great with a song, I'm going to be fired up. And then if I have something that doesn't really work, I'm not going to sit there and start cussing everybody out either. Again. Again. All right, number two, hit it.

Who is the most intelligent person you know? Ooh, the most intelligent person I know. These are great. Deep questions with Luke, yes. The most intelligent person I know. probably my music producer of my whole career, Jeff Stevens. And what about him makes you? Because from music to life, to family, to the world's imploding to the world,

he always seems, I can call him. And it's this really like just, solid view of the situation and I always leave the conversations having felt that I got the right advice for the moment and it's never done and Jeff's my producer and there's never been like pressure like whether it's a song he and I wrote that may be a single there's never been like it's just always been he delivers the info and the opinion and there's no strings attached and it's always been great. Final question?

What was your favorite age growing up? Man, probably. Are you still growing up when you're 22? I think you can still be growing up now. Yeah. I mean, first, second year at Georgia Southern. So I would have been, I got a two-year degree from a small college. And then I got to Georgia Southern when I was 21.

So about 22 was pretty damn awesome. What are you remembering right now? Yeah, you got a little weird smile. Well, I just remember like, because I think when you're 18 and you go off to college, that year is like great. Like, but you're probably a little too immature to be there. Well, with me, I mean, I was 21 when I went off to college. So, like, I was, I had a lot of, I had a little more life. I mean, from, from 18 to 21, like, I was, I was like doing a lot of, like, when I think about it, like, I was working.

My schedule would be, I would work from, I would go to college from about 8 a.m. to 11. I would leave and I would work at my dad's peanut meal from noon until about 10 p.m. and I did that every day and then on Fridays and Saturdays I was going and gigging so from 18 to 21 like I was like

I never came up for air it was like so when I went to college and got to college I was just like I ain't got to go work at my dad's peanut meal the little school I went to was really hard it was a tough college

to go to so Georgia Southern was a little more I had all my core crap out of the way. So I just let it rip and had a blast. Like at one point I lived in a, me and this guy, a buddy of mine, we lived on a lake. It was called Cypress Lake. And I stayed in Georgia Southern for the summer. Like in a cabin? It was a cabin over the lake that we would park our boats under our house. And I mean, it was just awesome. There were houseboats out there. It was pretty awesome. I saw Katie's leaving idol.

Yes. Yes. Well, you know, she caught a little flack for, not flak. She just inadvertently announced it on Kimmel. I think she inadvertently announced it either way. But that show can be edited because it's not always live. Right. You're right.

Now that you say that, they could have. No, I think, you know, I think Katie had kind of told me on the set. She was like, I think this is my last year. I was like, really? And like,

we're on set. And maybe not everybody heard it, but I was like, okay. But then I thought, I thought she's just having a girl day where I have those often, yes.

Yeah, where she's just like, I don't know what I want to do in my life. In any way, she did announce it. And, um, you know, as it gets,

as the final show gets nearer, I mean, it'll be pretty emotional. We've had a, I mean, through the years that our unit and our group and her, you know, being right there, she's just a blast to work with. And, I mean, she's just crazy in all the great, all the good ways, you know. What about you?

What's your lifespan? I don't know if I would, I mean, I love an idol. It's, I still enjoy it. I wouldn't let her doing that make me, you know, we don't know ever ever I guess everybody thinks we have two or three or four year commitments we don't like if the show like if somebody comes up and like hey uh the ratings are tanking then we're probably out of a gig so as long as the show feels like it's in an upward trajectory and we're not i mean we still feel like every year i feel like we gain a little more ground with people watching it

and trusting what we're doing so as long as i feel like i'm a part of something really still pretty special. It's definitely things I look at in the top of the year where I'm like, oh, this will be, yeah. So I don't have my decision made for next year, but. You can do the hats like recruits do. He's got one hat this is idle. One hat that says no idol. One hat that says buying a boat and maybe idle.

And then you put one on your head and that's how you announce it. Well, buying a boat's probably, we'll have to do a double hat with. boat and stick with Idol. But, you know, Idle's fun. And then Peyton Manning and I are doing, we're doing a series called It's All Country that we've been filming the past kind of month and a half. And, but I mean, now I think I've settled into like a good play. I mean, like I leave today.

I leave and go straight to baseball games. My boys are both somehow, thanks to Caroline Athletic, I don't think I. I had anything to do with that. So they're really, really active in sports. Like I had to plan, like this fall, I had to plan Friday nights and be like, no shows on Friday nights all in the fall.

Because of kids. Because of kids. And I think literally for eight years, because Tate's going to be coming right in behind Boe on football. So Friday nights in the fall are eliminated for me. And, I mean, that's not me. That's just me.

that's time in my life where it's time to be there. Like, you can miss a, I mean, when they're, you can kind of miss a couple four-year-old tee ball games when they're just running to third base when they hit the ball and don't know where the hell they're at. But now it's, it's important. Luke Bryan's in studio. Acting, you?

I never did any. I tell you what, I mean, when you're... I've seen you in plays, like back in the day. Yeah, back in the day, I did one act plays. But when you're, when you're, when you're feeling, filming promos for Idol and you're filming like and you mess up a take and then you have to replicate the energy and the vibe and the laughs and you're you're inadvertently learning how to replicate stuff on camera in a natural acting form that I don't think you really you know

so I think I mean just when somebody puts a camera in your face getting comfortable with that takes so I would be comfortable with all that I would just really want whoever I work with, that I can trust them that you look legit doing the role and it's believable and, you know. Are you anti-nudezine? I would, yeah, I'm, yeah, I would. A nude scene. What if it was it, to the role, the role needs it.

Depends on the CGI involved. Hey, you need a lot of AI. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're going to need some AI. All right, final two questions. Are people surprised at times whenever you sit at a piano to learn that you're, I feel like, and you'll be like, oh, I'm not, but whatever, that you're a really good piano player? I love surprising people with that.

I think it's always fun. I think it's always fun for people to have that up, kind of have that ace up my sleeve, and then when I can hold a room with a piano. And it's not come easy. I've put myself in the role of playing piano in front of a lot of people to get back. better because if you just stay in your house and think you're working on it and then put

20,000 people in the room, anyway, you just got to jump in it. So I've really had fun working hard and playing piano, but I still can trick people better than I actually am. But I said no humble card, because you're good. You're good. I'll move off. I'm not like, I hear you. But I'm good to hold, I'm good at, like, I'm good at, like, I'm, I'm good at, like,

good in my little space, but then I know what, like, I know where not to venture. You know your strengths. Right. I know where not to venture. Final question. Like what to you right now is fulfilling, right now? What's fulfilling to me is the fact that in the state of Tennessee between my house and going to a farm or just putting a boat in at the house or going to the duck river and floating down the river, I could just knock a, around the state of Tennessee with my children and my family, and I can ride around my farm

on a Polaris at ore. I'm just content with just chilling out around the house. I can run, go play nine holes of golf, comeback. Like waking up with no plan, I can go piddle in the garden, and then I can go write a song. You know, I don't have to feel like I got to write eight songs a week I can get an idea, call a friend, call a buddy, hey, what are you doing? Swim out of the house, let's fish for a couple hours, then let's go write a song. So, you know, I'm really content with just like, I'm going to really retire very efficiently and it's going to be all. It's going to be like, it's going to be, yeah, when I call you for like a retirement plan party for me, be there because it'll be. It'll be epic. Yeah, it'll be like, it'll be,

Well thought out. I guess the last thing here, because we're going to play. By the way, we premiered Luke's new song earlier. We'll play it again coming up in just a little bit. Because I'm going to play whatever your answer is. But what is your favorite song to perform live now? Oh, gosh. I mean, country girl naturally will always be just blatantly the most fun,

just because hitting it, I mean, watching everybody just the energy level go to that. that and play it again. I mean, play it again is pretty... You gave me two. I can't play them at the same time. I don't know. Do play it again.

Okay. Luke, good to see you, buddy, really. Good to see y'all. Good to see you. You look good. You look like you've been out. Oh, I've been in, yeah. Like, I've been, I've been rotisserie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I've never even had, like, definite, um, raccoon eyes and stuff from sunglasses, but yeah, I've been out there. I've been out there fishing. All right. Luke Brian, everybody. Good to see you, Luke. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast,

So many exciting things happening on the show this week.

Not only was it Bobby's birthday, but it was also Bobby Bones and the Rating Idiots Million Dollar Show for St. Jude. I believe this was their seventh year doing it, and they raised so much money for the kids, which is incredible in itself. But even more than that, there were some special guests that arrived, and it was insanity. Like, there was two big special guests, and they were huge moments of the show. But the show itself was also so much fun. Sam Hunt, John Party, like you can't go wrong. Well, there were reasons and how this all happened that these special guests showed up. And that's what you're about to hear is Bobby talking about the whole show and how everything kind of went down.

Number two. Last night was our seventh million dollar show. Eddie and I have a group called The Raging Idiots. And we invite friends to come play with us. And they show up and we play songs and raise a bunch of money for St. Jude. We don't keep any of the money. It's a really, it's exhaust. But it's worth it when it's over and it's pulled off.

And we always bring out surprise guests. And so, you know, some of the, I have friends that I can call on if I'm like, hey, I need you so I can build this show around you. Meaning if I get John Party, who is a close friend or I can call Sam, Sam Hunt, be like, do you mind playing this show? Because people are going to love it. Then also other artists will go, oh, John and Sam are playing. We're happy to play if they've never heard of the show. show. We need those artists to build around. And so that's what happened

with John and Sam and Megan Moroni. And I was so grateful that they said yes. And so Matt Carney and Ben Rector and all these artists show, and it's amazing. But we always have two or three surprise guests for different reasons.

And we had Turnpike Trubadors in studio and it's my wife's favorite band. And I listen to them all the time now because of her, but it's good Lord Lori. Oh, good Lord, Lori. I love you. Good news all wrong.

So good. So they came out and played full band, which was super cool, and then lit, showed up and played. And the crowd, it's like there was a human explosion in the rhyming because that intro lick hits, that goes, da-na-na-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And then he comes out, and the first letter was, can you? I was a little dead. Can you forget about the things that said when I was drunk? I didn't mean to call you that.

They look. They're a rock star. They look like rock stars. They looked like they did in the 90s. They got. Yeah. They're not even 90s. They're 2000s.

Two thousands. Yeah, you're right. So where they're like, holy crap. So after that, Edwin McCain, who was super nice to come out. I've only got to know Edward McCain in the past four or five years, but he has, you know, I'll be your crying shoulder. And so scheduled our final act was John Party. However, Morgan number one and Tom, my manager, because Morgan's my manager too, they had

been working so hard on getting our secret special guest. So hard. Even four days before the show, it was like, I don't know, it's 50-50. So I don't want to jinx it. So I didn't tell anybody. I didn't even want to get Eddie's hopes up because I don't want to get mine. And the only reason I even had to know is because just in case, I didn't want to know and I didn't ask. I never asked.

Is it good? Is it good? Is it good? So as soon as I were like, I think it's 75%. I went to Eddie immediately. I said, okay, here's the thing. They say 75%. That's probably like 25%. I was even like. And I was still like, well, I guess that's Bobby doesn't really look hopeful right now. So I don't know. When do I ever look hopeful? I feel like if it was 99.9.9. Bobby be like, it's probably that. So the day before they're like, it's 90%. And I'm like, I still don't believe it. Because artists this. big.

They're so big, they could just go, I don't want to do this. And nobody even questions it because they're so big. And then that morning it turns into 99% because we have a big security meeting at the Riemann. Because there are so many artists coming in and out. It's not like security has to watch one artist. It's transitions of teams and people going in and out. So this artist, his people went to the security meeting.

We're like, it's 99%. But the show starts. And I haven't said who it is yet. The show starts. and it's not written anywhere because we don't want anybody to even backstage to accidentally see it and post it.

Because again, we don't want it ruined in two. I didn't know. I don't know this person. I didn't know this person. I didn't know if he was going to show up or not. And so, I'm thinking he's going to walk in like five minutes before

and there'll be a delay. No, he got there 45 minutes early. So I'm told with about five or six songs left, hey, this secret special artist is here and I'm like already he's like yeah he's in the back just practicing um because he wants to do a cover when he comes out and I was like that's awesome now I'm in the middle of hosting it but also we're playing songs so I don't even have time to go say hi or really introduce myself turnpike troubadours when they come out they do full band and we walk off the stage for three

minutes I went back to his dressing room and I was like hey man thank you so much and I didn't want there were a bunch of people people were blocking his door muscle men I already felt like I was in the way, but I did not feel like that once I was in there. He was so nice. He was like, what's up? Because this is so cool. He's been watching the show on the feed in there. He was like, thank you so much.

I'm going to change up the song I'm going to do because I love playing at the rhyming. We talked for a few minutes, and I had to, I didn't want to leave. But I had to go. I was like, I hate to stop this conversation, but I got to go back on stage because we were playing with John Party. So we walk out and they get in my ear and they're like, hey, there's a guitar problem. with the person, hold on, can you stall for just a minute? So the whole band's off stage. It's just me and I are like, okay, stall.

And then I'm thinking, he ain't coming out. They just got me. The guitar problem, I knew it would be something. And so then finally, they're like, it's all clear. I was like, really? Yeah. And I didn't do a big like, Here he is!

Very subdued. I just said, I'm super grateful. Here is our surprise artist tonight, Post Malone. Super kind. Plays a Hank senior song, first up. It's awesome. So I didn't know really in person How good of a singer he would be but he was practicing when I went back there

No, he's good, he's really good He's a really good singer He's just a good singer Even just in his dressing room with him He was sitting on the toilet lid down Oh really In the bathroom where the acoustics were good It was him in earnest

And they were running through the song Really? Yeah, and I know Ernest I didn't even know Ernest was there Yeah, he was there And so I was like, I didn't say it But I was like, dang he's good So he comes out and he plays

plays the first song and then he plays his new single and the crowd's going insane and then I'm like thank you everybody and everybody's just shocked that Post Malone just showed up and played a couple songs

and so I have to go do a couple interviews right afterward I have a couple St. Jude things I get to right after the show and sign some stuff but I look back and Post Malone has not left the stage

and he's down talking to people at the stage he probably sat out there for 25 minutes and just talk to just talk to people that were watching the show. Just bent down on the front of the stage, talking to people. I've never seen anyone do that.

I've never seen anybody to do that. That's like, not me. Right. And I'm just like, I hope you're not disappointed with buying the ticket to my show. That's always what I do at the end of the show. He didn't go down the front and just give everyone high-fives. He was like talking to people. To everyone that stayed.

It was wild. He laid down on the stage to take pictures with people like, it was wild. Crazy. What a night. No, it was crazy as he left. Yeah. And he stayed in the, alley behind the venue for 30 minutes

taking pictures of people. He did. Just standing out there in the alley behind the bars in between the Ryman and Tutsis. He was just in the alley with the trashed the dumpsters taking pictures with people. I would have never believed it. I would have not believe. It wasn't that I'm like, there's no way he's like this, but he's so famous that

that usually doesn't happen because it creates something a bit bigger where then it becomes like a mob. But he sat there and everybody that wanted to talk or say hi, he did. one of the biggest stars in music right now, period. And also, more now than ever,

especially after watching and practice that in the back and hearing him sing. Like that, he's like a Texas dude who loves country music. Oh, yeah. It's not even a, it's not even a gimmick thing. It's not, I mean, it's not even a thing. He doesn't have to do it. He doesn't need to do that.

You can tell that he finally gets to do it where he's finally big enough to do whatever he wants to do. And he's like, I now want to do this project because this is like a passion for me. And it's not like he like said, I'm going to do a Hank Williams song. I'm going to learn it real quick. Like, he knew all the words.

And he brought us, then he was, what happened was why there was a bit of a delay was, he was like, I want this to sound really good. So they called in the second guitar player really quick. I think it was Arnest's guy. Okay. So that's what took the extra few minutes. They're like driving up there? Yeah, no, to get up there. Post-malone was awesome.

Yeah. And he also, I'm going to, again, be as honest as I can hear. He smelled pretty good. Yeah? Yeah. Surprisingly. Cologne? Cologne?

I don't know if it was cologne I just thought he would smell like tattoos Beer and smoke Just you know what tattoos smell I don't know No He just made he smelled pretty good Wow okay

And he went up to Caitlin And was side stage Like 30 minutes before And we're just hanging out talking with her And he left To talk somebody else And Caitlin was like Post Malo just came up

And he knows he didn't know me And I think he knows He knows he has another person He's talking to over there now But like he was just hanging out talking with folks. That's so cool. It was a wild show last night. There were so many cool things. I will at some point in my

mind be able to remember and go through, but Sam and John and Megan Moroni, like they were really the pillars that allowed us to build that show around them this year. I'm very grateful for that. Ian Muncich is awesome. Post Malone showed up and just

it was wild. I don't even know what else to say. And it was even more wild he he stayed and just hung out with everybody. Another crazy thing he did when he left in the car, he just rolled down the window and went rolling down the street with the window down. I'm like, uh, post Malone, you might want to roll your window up. But he just had his head out the window saying hi to people as these guys. And I'm like, dude, roll the window up.

One of the most famous people in music period. That's the whole world right now. So, and the secret was able to be kept, which never happens. So that's all. And I don't even know if you guys got to meet him at all. Because I wasn't, I only met him talk to him for that one brief time and had to get back. And then I hugged him a couple times on stage and was able to say, hey, really thank you. And he was like, are you?

kidding? Let's do it again. I'm like, well, we don't do it again for another year. Yeah, let's do it again. Well, what about Mike D? Mike D, did you get to meet him at all? Oh, boy. I was anticipating it the whole night. I saw him walk in when he first got there. Yeah. And like my body like just left me. Did you not, could you have said hello? I could have, but I was like, I have to get soaked in the moment. Not a good time to stop him. Okay. And so then he goes to the back. Yeah, he's there the whole time. Okay, true. And there really was nobody good. His people were muscular. Big dude. Outside the door. Yeah, and then they came out when he was about to go on and kind of cleared the area.

And I'm like, we're going to get pushed out here. I'm not going to get to meet him. Did you get pushed out? No, we stayed there. We stood our ground. Yeah, I felt like nobody really got put. I think his lane, his people know to clear lane. But then he's like, no, it's okay.

Don't you have to clear it? Wait, so Mike didn't. Did you not meet him at all? Nothing? And then I thought they were going to cart him off right when he left. But when I saw he was going and meeting everybody, I was like, oh, he's definitely going to come back this way. We hung out there where his people were. And then when he came back, I met him.

Oh, you did. Oh, yes. Did you touch him? I shook his hand. I told him I was a huge fan. He said, thank you so much. I was like, can we take a picture? Oh, you got a picture too?

And I got a picture. I'm not a person right now. That's great, Mike, Mike made him. But I didn't have time to even do anything. Yeah. That's cool. Well, it's a great show. If you came last night, that's awesome.

If you didn't come, it doesn't matter. Just know it's fun to hear other people talk about things you didn't go to. Yeah. And Mike also, he was drinking a beer. Mike got the beer can. Oh, Mike wasn't drinking a beer. No, no. You got Post Malone's Bud Light beer can?

Yeah. That's cool. That's funny. And weird, but more funny. But how awesome is that? He has it on display at his house. What if Mike was drinking his coffee out of it today? He cut the top and every morning he drinks out of it.

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. I had to put this in the number one spot because all of you all had so many reactions to it, whether good or bad. There was a lot of reactions. and I do feel in this segment I got wrongly roasted. I don't feel like mine was as bad as somebody else's. So I'm just going to put that out there. But we did a segment where we all shared things that may be considered TMI, aka too much information.

Here you go. Number one. We do this. It's called Bobby Bone Show TMI. So it's too much information, possibly. And Amy, we're going to let you go first. What can you give us that's TMI? Well, I started my testosterone cream.

Wait, what? Why do you need more testosterone? Because I have low tea. But why do you need tea? Well, so, well, everybody has tea and it's tea. There's the whole, you rely on your hormones to do certain things. And for women, there's, you know, you can have high, low, just right. Well, I have below low.

So mine was really low. So she, you need higher testosterone? I need some. Can I get some of that? Can't smell the cream? I don't know that I need it to, yeah. I mean, I guess I need it higher, but it's because I'm below low. So she's like, let's just at least bump you up to like low to normal.

And I now put behind my knee, I rub the cream in there. And so, and that's how I guess it has less chance of touching anybody else because that would be bad. You can't touch other words? Like she's like, yeah, you don't want to get on your kids or if you have a... All of a sudden, her son's ripped. Oh! Right. So it's supposed to help me with brain fog.

We'll see. And then I don't know, maybe it could cause a deeper voice than hair growth. But it says two clicks. And I am like so, I like perfect. I'm like, two clicks. What if I was like, hey, let me get some of that. You want a hit on my cream? Yeah.

How much? Would one hit a cream do a deal or do you have to do it for a while? I don't know exactly when it's going to. Ask your doctor. Say hypothetically. Hypothetically, let's just say. Eddie, TMI. Yeah, mine's pretty gross.

Well, don't get if it's, it can be. am I know, but it's got to be a fine line. It's crazy because, like, I don't know if it's my pillow, my bed, my bedroom, or what, but every morning when I wake up, I probably blow, I don't know. I would say, like, a handful of snot out of my chest and my nose. Well, it's all coming out of your nose, right? But it's like allergies probably. Oh, probably.

My kids even say. Like dander or something maybe? Who knows? But my kids say they can hear me from their bedroom going, ha, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. All right, enough. Lunchbox? I got TMI. I told you guys how I'd like to eat my toenails and fingernails. This has turned into just a gross out segment.

No. No. No. No. That one thing I do do is when my wife trims her toenails, I'll grab one. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Why would you do that? We're moving on. That way she's a part of me. No. That's hilarious.

There's other ways. That answer's hilarious. That answer's hilarious. It's all disgusting, but that answer's hilarious. It's so gross. Mine doesn't really have to do so much with my body. But whenever we've, the last week or so, I've had to like find this cleaning solution to clean the wall because Stanley or a bulldog will go outside and go to the bathroom. Then he likes to sit by the wall. And he leaves like streaks. Uh-uh. What?

Like underwear streaks, but on the wall. Yeah. We were like, what's happening on the wall? Stanley. I know. He doesn't know he's a dog. He doesn't know the difference. Yeah.

Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Morgan. So my cat likes to sit on my lap when I go to the bathroom. I can't stop her. Shut it down. I can't stop her. We're going home.

We're going home. Cross the line. It's the only time she wants to bond. I don't know why. Morgan. Morgan is like, why am I single? I don't know. Oh, my God.

Okay, well, nobody knows that and go now. That's the winner. That's great. I mean, lunchbox is it. I don't know why. I don't want to go to you. There's no way you can even like, that's like going on after Elvis. Let's try him. Okay, go ahead. Yeah, mine's tame compared to y'all. Y'all are crazy. My cat's allowed in the bathroom, but not on my lap when I'm using the restaurant. But you don't sit down though.

Correct, yeah. So it's no big deal. It's not even gross. But I use women's deodorant. So my wife, I was at a deodorant one time and tried her unscented. it was a dry idea, and it rolled on, it was awesome. And it didn't have a scent or anything, so it didn't smell dude or chick. And I found that it is actually better than guys deodorant. Yeah, I wear that as a normal deodorant. My wife's right? Your wife's teardard.

It's greatest. Now I get my own. That's hers, though. Oh. Yeah. So that's fine. Strange. Okay.

Is your unsinted or scented? It's just the one she uses. Hers? Yeah, her deodorants is better than mine. Hmm. Let's reflect. The Morgan ones. Hey, Morgan's freaked me out.

I can appreciate the vulnerability. Listen, I want her to bond with me, and that's the only time she wants to sit with me, so I don't really know what else is to do it. What if you just go do it while you're not using the bathroom? I've tried. Okay, well, then it's not really you she wanted to bond with. Oh, what if she's drawn to the scent of urine? Amy, Amy, Amy.

Okay, well, I don't know that we're going to do this a bit anymore, TMI, but we got it. Hey, that's too much information, guys. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
