It's listener Q& Daytime. Where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.

Here we are. Listener Q&A. Mike D is joining me this weekend. What up, Mike? I always have to start it like I haven't seen you for the last 45 minutes. That's not how that is. Max from Massachusetts said I love hearing your movie reviews and funny stories. Appreciate that. And then we've got Michael who said shout out. Mike has a good soul.

I have a good soul. Yeah. I've never been told that ever in my life. Really? No. You do have a good soul. You're a good person. I don't know I had a soul. Okay.

Well, don't go dark on me. You have a soul. You're alive. You got empathy. You got a soul. You're empathetic person. I'd like to think so. Yeah.

You have a soul. Dang, it took a turn, Michael. All right. Patty would like to know, what is your ultimate career goal? That is a great question. I think my ultimate career goal, would you be right, a screenplay that gets picked up and turned into either a limited series or a movie? Oh, limited series, not a full, like, friends, 20, seasons? No, I think

because really I feel that limited series now are movies. Because a lot of shows that come out, there are eight episodes, 45 minutes to an hour per episode. It's really just like a director's cut of a movie where people think like you love TV shows more

than you love movies. I think we've just been tricked into watching movies that are much longer and less edited. So I feel like I could have an idea that could translate either way, where it could be a 90 minute movie or it could be a story over a mini-series. What would be the genre you think?

I feel like I could do a lot of the stuff I write is probably horror just because it's based in like sci-fi and weird situations. So probably either horror or sci-fi. Okay. Because I don't think I'm not really great at writing drama from what I've tried so far. I don't know. you write some drama for the Bobby Boat Show. You never know.

I could probably write like a drama like TV show like shorter form. Yeah. That's a little bit harder though. Like when it comes to just straight on like dramatic dialogue, that's a lot harder to do. I feel like I work better with an overarching idea that I could expand on that more so than I can of like why these two people don't like each other. So you won't be doing any soap operas? Yeah, I can't really do that. And whenever I sit down to watch something, that's not really what I seek out.

And a lot of the stuff I write is what I know. And I just don't really have that in the chamber. Hey, fair. I get it. You write what you know. Maybe you write about your sleep paralysis experience. I have like a whole thing with dreams that I've been working on. Like I feel like dreams are undervalued and underutilized as far as like how we see them.

Yeah. I feel like people dismiss dreams. Hot take, because Bobby hates talking about about dreams. Like, I love it. I would talk about it all the time because I feel like they, I feel like I've gotten to a point

where I live an entirely different life inside my dreams, which sounds crazy, which sounds like... Mike, that's it. I think that's the storyline. That is when I literally thought of a couple weeks ago that I've been thinking about because I think for the most people,

you think, oh, I had a dream about something crazy happening and it means nothing. I think they do mean something. I think you can go to places in your dreams, at least for me, where I realize I'm dreaming. And I can't fully control it, but I feel like that's significant. Like, that's a part of your brain

that is, like, going in places. And I think the story I had was, the thing about dreams is nothing really matters. Like, there's no impact of your actions. I think, I think of, like, a futuristic world where there is an impact in your actions in your dreams. I think that's an interesting thing to explore.

Mike, we can talk about this all day because I'm fascinated and I want to watch this right now. Like this is my... I could see why just straight up talking about your dreams is like pointless, but I think talking about concepts of the dream. Well, it's a stream of conscious. Yes. And that's where aliens potentially exist. So also, yeah, I want to know.

I want to know where I go in my dreams. But also, what if I don't dream? Can you tell me what happens to me then? That's interesting too. Like some people just don't dream. I think for a period of my life I didn't dream. And it's also probably because I am on sleep medication where I feel like it allows me to tap into the good part of sleep,

which is something I struggled with for a very long time. The rim sleep. Yeah. Like I feel like when I hit it and I'm in a good cycle and I hit that level of dreaming where it's like, oh, I'm getting good sleep. And I wake up feeling better. Yeah, I need you to make this.

I want to see this. I'm intrigued. Let's go. I'll be your first watch. Okay. I'll be your movie review. Like you get little screeners. Yeah.

I'll be a screener. Who was your first celebrity crush, Amy D. and Mississippi? My first celebrity crush was probably the pink Power Ranger. And I think that was a lot of 90 kids' first crush. Oh, wait, hold on. Who was the Pink Power Ranger? Okay, I see her. I get this.

Well, the reason I asked is I met a Power Ranger. You did? At a Cookbook, I went to Kara Clark's cookbook. She had dropped one. And one of the Power Rangers was here. Hold on, let me find him.

Power Rangers. Is it like OG Power Ranger, movie Power Ranger? OG Power Ranger, like one of the four girls, like the real one. The real Power Ranger, not the comic cartoon. Okay.

But now, I don't know. There's so many of them now. I don't know where it's popping up. Power. Rangers, Cass, which one would I be looking up? There's so many. I mean, the original was Mighty Morp and Power Rangers. Okay.

She's not in that one. It's like the adults that were the Power Rangers. They were adults. I see how familiar you are with Power Rangers. I'm not. It's been a long time as I watched Power Rangers. So the kids show in the 90s, they were, I guess probably teenagers, technically, at least on the show, but they were probably a little bit older. Why?

There's only one popping up. there more than one Power Rangers? Oh yeah, there's a lot of different series and there's movies. There was like the core cast in like the 90s that I feel like are the ones people refer to the most as the Power Rangers. And then there was the movie in the 2010s that was kind of like a new set of Power Rangers. But I feel like as far as the people who go to like Comic-Conn's as the Power Rangers, a lot of them are from that OG crew.

Okay, hold on. It wasn't like the OG. Oh, here she is. Aaron Cahill. No one has her role for the pink Power Ranger and Power Rangers Time Force. Let me see. That was who I met. She's also on Hallmark movies and stuff too.

Okay. I recognize her, but she's not my Pink Ranger. Got it. Okay. Sorry. I didn't meet a Power Ranger. I just wasn't. Because it was a whole thing because one of my friends was so excited.

She was like, that's a Power Ranger. I was like, excuse me, what? And then I put two and two together. Yeah, Kimberly Hart was the OG pink Power Ranger. Got it. That was my first celebrity crush. That was your...

And I was probably five, six years old. Okay. You know, there's a theory with celebrity crushes that you marry someone who looks like your celebrity crush and she kind of does.

They both have brown hair. Weird. It's also the hair color that's really like the identifying thing because obviously they're not going to look like the exact thing.

Yeah. But there's this theory online that you marry someone with the same hair color as your childhood crush. It's kind of the process of elimination. So like if my celebrity crush was blonde, right? And I started dating a brown-haired guy,

probably not going to be my forever, you know? Dang, so we know it's such a young age. Literally. And it's really funny because it's been true for most people. It's obviously not 100%. But for the majority of people, this has been true. Like when you really think about who your very like first adorable crush was in their hair color and stuff, there's like an association that happens with it.

I don't know why. That's weird. Psychology. So yours being a brunette and you married a brunette, you fall into the theory. Is that weird? Yeah. I mean, I think over the course of my life, I didn't realize I like brunettes until like later. And I was like, oh, I guess that's a thing.

Did you date blondes ever at any point? I never dated anybody. Okay. Did you find blondes attractive before, or was it like a? Kind of turning point, or was it always? And you just never realized it. I'm thinking of, like, the bumble dates I went on. I don't think, there was, like, maybe one blonde.

Okay. Yeah, you liked your brown hair? Yeah. See? I'm telling you, there's something in that. Psychology. Favorite Spanish bands genre. This is from Annie.

Spanish bands genre? Or genre, I think, slash genres. Oh, my favorite Spanish bands. I'm really into Grupo Frontera right now, who are from. Texas, that is probably the band I listen to the most. And they're like really popping off right now as far as there's like a, I guess the Billboard genre labels it as regional tehano, which is like really big right now.

Like if you look at like the top 10 in Billboard, like it's dominating because I think it's a genre of music that hasn't been valued for a while. But now like in the age of streaming, the number show like how much like, people love this music and they're probably my favorite newer band because they're all like my age so it's like an older sound but with younger people doing it and them doing collabs with other artists like bad bunny where it's like oh here's like this really classic sound but it has like this fresh twist to it i think that's why they're my favorite well and i've seen honestly a lot of okay also is it latino spanish me what is the correct

way to address? I think Latino is when you're referring to people who speak Spanish. I think that's how you categorize it. I think that's like the real way. And that's the genre, right? Because I think I see a lot of people refer to it as like Latino music. I would say yeah, because like people, I'd say the best way to refer to just the people

is Latino. Like I think I have only had been called Hispanic in like school yeah well and the only time i really hear or think of Hispanic is like Hispanic Hispanic heritage month yeah like it's not really like i don't ever refer to myself as Hispanic like with other people who are Mexican like we don't say we're Hispanics it was always like whenever i was taking a standardized test in school like i'd have to check the box of Hispanic and i never really felt any identity to that yeah i think the only one I feel any identity to is Latino.

Okay. So Latino music is cool to say. I would say so, yeah. I just want to make sure because there's so many words. Because Latino is like over over the entire thing, any Spanish-speaking music from like any country, whether it's Mexico, whether it's Spain, whether it's just somewhere where they're Puerto Rico or they speak Spanish. I would say Latino music. But then there's like Mexican music, which is a lot different than probably music from Spanish music. Yeah, like Spanish music.

Okay. So Latino is more just Spanish-speaking music, that genre, which is why they call it that. And then for me specifically, I'm probably more into Mexican music than any other. Latino. So not a bad bunny guy. Oh, I'm a huge bad bunny. But I feel like he is like my one artist from Puerto Rico that I love. I would say like outside a group of Frontera, he's probably the artist I listen to the most. Like his album that came out earlier this year, I listened to it every single day. Really? Like every single late. Like I'm going to be in his one point.

percent of listeners by the end of this year. He's such a vibe. Yeah. He really is such a vibe. And I didn't fully get it until this year and this album where this, for some reason, this body of work, it just finally clicked with me. And then I went back and revisited his other albums, which I had listened to. They just never really, I never really had an attachment to them until this year where

I'm waiting until he tours the U.S. again so I could go to a bad bunny concert. Mike Dia, Bad Bunny. I mean, the juxtaposition of you between that. and like a screamo, like, rage concert? Hilarious. Yeah, I think, like, in my 30s, I've gravitated more towards, like, my Mexican roots and, like, love of Spanish-speaking music.

Just because I feel like I've needed more of a variety lately. Mm-hmm. And when it comes to, like, I have, like, different genres of music that I listen to in different vibes, which I think most people do. Like, when I'm working out, I'm listening to, like, my two things.

thousands, 2010s, like punk rock stuff that's more upbeat, like the best, like upbeat stuff. Like that's what I need there. When I'm working at home, a lot of it is bad bunny and like old like classic Mexican bands that I just feel like a comfort to and then I can just kind of like have on and it makes me feel good. And then like when I'm in the car, that's kind of where I listen to new stuff where I got to like test out things of like driving music and that's like where I feel like I want to listen to new things. Like, can I insert this into my daily routine? Well, I like it. And then, yeah, at home is like

more chill vibes. Also where I listen to a lot of sad music where it's just like, okay, I need to like wind down a little bit. But like your email side comes out. Yeah. So it's like, upbeat stuff working out, chill stuff at home, new discovery while driving. I like it. I feel like that's pretty similar to me. But not the Mexican music at home. I do love some Mexican music. But if I'd be listening to that at home, I think people would be curious of what I was doing because I don't know what they're saying. Like, I think sometimes I just like to remind Kelsey, like, she married a Mexican guy. Because, like, on the weekend, like, my favorite thing is to, like, if I'm, like, I like to take, like, a longer shower on the weekends. And I like to.

We call that in everything shower. Yeah. Where I, like, hook up the Bluetooth speaker, crank it up and just, like, play some. jams because that's what my mom used to do like on Saturday she would wake up clean the whole house and just have that music blaring the entire time and I associate that music with man we're about to clean the whole house we're about to wake up at 8 a.m. on a Saturday. So like I want to keep that alive of like whenever we have kids weekends we're blasting this music and you're going to get to know it. I love that. That's a cool tradition to continue. Probably not one that you ever

realized at the time was going to be something but then it became something. Yeah, and like there's even like a tradition of ours where every single birthday of anybody in our family, there's one specific song called Las Manianitas, which is like the birthday song in Mexico. Yeah. And my mom had like a specific tape that she had of like a band that did a rendition of it. And every single birthday, that'd be the first thing she would play for everybody. So there's like this weird association I have with that song that I can't go a birthday without listening to that song. And like I'll still call my mom. And before I even say happy birthday, like I'll put the phone up to my laptop playing that song and she hears it.

Oh, that's so cute. I love these traditions. You definitely have to continue all of them on. I feel like you're going to be happy you did. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. 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. 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. Ramos sending on to earn a store at the chip. I'm Tad Ramos.

I'm Tom Bo. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the World Cup. real storylines. I'm not worried about Policic. I'm not worried about Balagan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team.

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. Hi, Dad.

And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen. She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at him all. Yeah. On the Ceno Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.

There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money. flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Does Mike ever die inside when Bobby has one of his bad TV show takes, Sam? Yeah, sometimes. I feel like we're pretty similar on TV shows of what we like and don't like. I think sometimes it comes down to movies, which is hard for me to recommend to him, just because he doesn't like a lot of movies that I like. I feel like we differ a lot in that aspect. I think the one take that I still remember to this day

that lingers with me is the fact that he thinks Spider-Man is a weak superhero. He's like, he's the lamest superhero. I was like, I died in that moment of like, how could you think Spider-Man is the weakest superhero, the lamest superhero, he's literally the best. He crushed your soul right there. Because that's your guy. That was soul crushing.

Mm-hmm. And speaking of Bobby, McKenzie from Ohio wants to know has there been ever a time you screwed up and be like, hmm, Bobby might fire me for this. I think that every day. Really? Yeah. I mean, I don't screw up every day. But anytime I do screw up, I think that's the one that's going to be the end. Like, that's my final strike.

Is that like your just fear-based thing every time? Even though you've been working of a show for how long? With Bobby since 2010 Here in Nashville since 2016 So Given that history You still think that every day Yeah

That's shocking to me It's because I don't like making mistakes Like I think with me My competitive nature comes with my streak Of not making mistakes Where I'm not competitive in the sense that I want to win every game Like I like playing games just to have fun

But when it comes to work, I see it as competitive of like, I don't want to screw up. Like, I want my streak to be like, I make every shot. That's how I see every day. And whenever I mess up, I see that as me losing a game. Like, I lost. I have an L on the board. And I don't like that. And I feel like you have that many Ls, Mike.

You probably count them on your hand. But that's why I say when I do have one, it's like, oh, man, I suck. That's the end of me. I'm going to start a downward trajectory. I'm never going to win a game again. That's how I feel. Okay, well, we need to rewrite that language a little bit. It's like when a quarterback throws an interception,

I know you have to move on and not think about it because then it's going to affect your performance. Yeah. But for me, I throw an interception and I can't get over that interception, then I have a bad game. Okay, but Mike, listen, I'm not a sports girlie, okay? Yeah, you go sports. But how many interceptions do you think Tom Brady has thrown in his life?

I probably a lot because he played for... Exactly, but he's Tom Brady. That's true. So you have to fail and have flaws because that means you're human. You don't want to be a robot. So falls are good because then you come back better and you can become Tom Brady. That's the only sports analogy. I guess sometimes I see myself as a robot.

Like I need to operate like a wheeled machine. I need to be perfect at times. Just because you have a mess up or a flaw at one moment in time does not mean you are still not a well-oiled machine. You are. The flaw just means there was a little dip in the assembly line. Even assembly lines have to get screws fixed every now and again, right? Yeah.

So you're not perfect, even if you think you're an assembly line. And this is me at like a better place. Before I think it would eat me up even more. I think having a little bit more perspective now of we're not doing anything where people are losing their lives. Like, there are some things on the line, but it's not at the end of the day, like we're doing bits.

We're doing dumb things. Yeah. And it's like, okay, this sucks in the moment for me, but in the grand scheme of things, it's probably not the biggest mistake I could make that's going to affect the world. Well, it's funny you say that because my boyfriend has definitely given me that perspective

because if he ever has a bad day or it's just a really long day or something, I'll be like, well, like, how can I help? He's like, or like, you know, I'm really sorry that happened. And he's just like, I'm not saving lives. Like, what I do is awesome, but it's not life changing or like life altering. So why am I going to sit here and just let it fester? Because there's, it literally doesn't matter at the end of the day.

And I'm like, dang, you're right. But I can't get there. I totally see it. So I get it. It takes a lot to get there. And a lot of things just feel really important at the time. I think the only thing that's helped me is the mentality of

am I going to care about this in three weeks? Yeah. Like in three weeks, we're going to move on. There's going to be a new thing and you're not going to remember this mistake you made three weeks ago. I think that's the only thing that's given me some perspective of like how long is this really going to affect me? It's the five week, five, no, five day, five week, five minute, five day, five week, five month thing.

If it's not going to matter in five days, you shouldn't spend more than five minutes thinking about it. If it's not going to matter in five weeks, you shouldn't spend more than five days thinking about it. I don't remember who came up with that, but it's a good thing to go by. So like if, take the very first one, for example,

if in five days it's not going to matter, don't spend more than five minutes letting it take up space in your brain. If it's not going to matter five years from now, then you can't spend more than five months thinking about it. With anything in life. Interesting way to look at it. I don't remember who told me that, and I don't know where that came from, but that has stayed in my brain.

And I try very hard to go about that. Because most things, you shouldn't spend more than five minutes. But, like, life happens and, like, truly traumatic events, and you try to process it, and you think about yourself five years down the road, and you're like, how much is this going to really matter five years from now? And that helps for some reason. Yeah, except for me, like, sometimes I'll remember. remember something stupid I did five years ago. And then I'm like, man, that's the whole lingers in. Like, why do I remember that? Okay, again, because you're human and not a robot, Mike. Oh, my goodness.

In your opinion, what was the single best year of movies and theaters, Karen? I would say historically, 1994 is referred to as the best year of movies because you had Forrest Gump, you had Shawshake Redemption, you had Lion King, you had Pulp Fiction. And I think by the book, I would say 1994, but for me personally, it was 2007, which I feel was the most impactful year in movies for me. Because I think if I didn't have all the 2007 movies, I would have never got to a point or I wanted to review and talk about movies. Okay. What was the 2007 year? Because I don't know years.

You had movies like, No Country for Old Men, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. And that was the first movie I watched that. I felt differently about movies after that where I stopped seeing them as quote unquote movies and started seeing them as films, which I feel like there's a little bit of a difference. Okay. And that was at a time where I was watching everything I could possible.

You also had movies like Transformers come out, which I feel like was a turn in movies because that kind of launched that whole level of special effects. If there wouldn't have been Transformers, we would have never got Iron Man in 2008 because it was highly influential of like, oh, they can make things look realistic and metal. We can take that same technology and apply that to Iron Man. And that was just like, when I think of summer blockbusters, I think of watching a Transformers movie where I don't care like how bad they get, how far away they get from those original movies. I will always go see a Transformers movie in theaters. Okay, but that last new one was good.

It was really good. I loved it. All the animals? It was so fun. Oh, you also had the, they did the animated one. Did you see that one? Transformers 1? No, I, you know, I can't. And the comic side is just hard for me. Oh, that one is, that one started out like, I don't know if I really like this. And then it got really good at the end of that one. Okay, but in all fairness, I do like Spider-Verse into the Spider-Ver's those. I like those kind of comics. If you like the last live-action Transformers movie, I think you should check out Transformers 1. Okay.

But then also in 2007, you had movies like Juno. which kind of made me care more about dramas, and that's also one of my favorite movies. Kind of indie, too. Yeah, there was like that blend of like how something on a smaller scale can have a big impact. It also had like a really unique soundtrack, which I still go back and listen to you from time to time, just because it kind of takes me back to that year. That tracks, Mike.

I don't know why. Where that tracks. I love listening to movie soundtracks. It's not as much a movie soundtrack, but something about you listening to Juno just makes sense. I don't know why. The music is like, I think the band is called the moldy peaches and it's basically just like acoustic guitar and like not great vocals. And that's my vibe. Like I want a singer who can't sing and barely play guitar, but you can feel the emotion in their voice. That's my favorite genre of music. That's a choice. I love it for you. All right. Well, that's all our

questions we have. And thanks for being here and answering them all. Sorry I kept you longer than usual, but I'm always happier you're here. Oh, it's all good. This is the one time we get to hear Mike talk. So as long as Mike wants to you talking, I just kind of let him. I'm like, let's go. That's the thing. I'm like, I don't know how long it's going to, I have to go talking to not be seen as the quiet one. Where I feel like I do talk more now, but I think I'm always going to be the quiet person.

And I don't know, like, how much do I need to talk? No, I think it's just part of your, that's part of who your identity has become. You know, kind of like me and ducks, even though I don't even have a Jeep anymore. everybody's going to always associate me with ducks. You know what I mean? Yeah. It just kind of becomes, it takes a long time. Heck, I still get called Morgan number two, Mike.

Okay, so I'm just going to forever be. Yeah, unfortunately. But most people, like me, I've never referred to you as a quiet one. But that's also because we've done this and you've never been quiet around me. So maybe it's on them and they're just not pulling it out of you. It's weird to still be talked about as the quiet person when I have a podcast where I talk 45 to 50 minutes a week, sometimes I have to edit it down. because I feel like I talk too much and I'm like, I don't know.

Yeah, I think it's more because they just don't hear you as much on the big show. Okay, I could see that. I think that's where it comes from. But you hear your giggles now because of the mic. So you do have a mic now where I do feel like that's starting to kind of go away,

but I think that's where it comes from would be my guess. Got it. Okay. It's all big show stuff. But I know. I know you're not the quiet one. But it's my favorite because they get to hear you talk a lot.

So thanks for being here. Thank you. That's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Thanks for listening. Be sure to check out the other two parts this weekend. Go follow the show on all social platforms. At Bobby Bone's show. And follow Ed Webgirl Morgan.
