1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: What's up everybody, In case this is your first time 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: tuning in, I'm taking the best seven bits from our 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: entire show this week, but it's all based on your 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: guys's engagement, what you guys liked the most, and we 6 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: can add some behind the scenes moments. So on that note, 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm bringing on Eddie because up at number seven is 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: Eddie who did something that he said he was never 9 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: ever going to do. Okay, and I want to talk 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: about this in a more extensive way because Eddie saying 11 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: he'll never do something it's actually a pretty big deal, 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: but he did it. He got his son a phone. 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: I have always always wanted to be the parent to 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: be like, no, no no, no, you're not getting one till 15 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: you're eighteen years old. That was my rule from when 16 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,599 Speaker 1: we had our first kid. Now we have four, right 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: two hours, two foster kids, and I'm like, we're not budging. However, 18 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: I would say, I don't know, maybe like earlier last year, 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: my son came home from school and he's like, look, 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm really tired of you talking about me on the 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: radio not having a phone. That was really like, what 22 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: he said, it's embarrassing for him. It was embarrassing because 23 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: one he had all his friends have phones. And I'm like, well, 24 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: you know what, let me tell you something about life. 25 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: That was like my lesson time. Let me tell you 26 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: about something about life. You can't compare your life to 27 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: everyone else's because everyone else has phones doesn't mean that 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: you need a phone. So that was my whole response. 29 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: You are using all of your old school comparisons with 30 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: your twelve year old son. Am I getting this correct? 31 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: Kind of? I just knew. I knew how dangerous a 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: phone was. Like you got to realize as a parent 33 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: that a phone, the whole internet, everything, the good and 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: the terrible, bad, bad, bad, bad, is in the palm 35 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: of your hands. And so if I remember me being 36 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: a kid, I was pretty sneaky, and if I wanted 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: to get my way and find some of that bad stuff, 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: I probably could and ask a friend, Hey, how do 39 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: I get around some of these you know, little privacy 40 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: things so I can find these, you know, bad things 41 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: that everyone's talking about, because when you're in junior high 42 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: or high school, you want to see what everyone's talking about, right, Yeah, Well, 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: I think a lot of parents can attest, and I 44 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: can attest being on social media that it can be 45 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: used for bad things. I get that, But do you 46 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: consider yourself at all like kind of a helicopter parent? Well, 47 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I think a helicopter parent is a good parent. 48 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: You gotta be a helic Okay, that's an interesting debate. 49 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Do you think a helicopter parent is a good parent 50 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: or do you think there's a part of you which 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: I think you've become. Not that you thought this was 52 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: going to happen, but I think you are a helicopter 53 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: parent that has adjusted to the times, and it has 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: been like, Okay, this is really unreasonable for me to 55 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: think that for six more years he doesn't get to 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: have a phone. So I think you were a helicopter 57 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: parent that adjusted to the times. I truly believe that. Well, 58 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: thank you. I think that's a compliment because a helicopter parent, 59 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: to me is someone that hovers over their child and 60 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: watches them as they grow up. It's important for you 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on what your child is doing. 62 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: So that's good. On top of that, though, I felt 63 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: like we needed to let him have a little bit 64 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: of freedom at the age of twelve. To go ahead 65 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: and dip your foot into the world of a phone. Yeah, 66 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: you do have the opportunity now, and it is secured 67 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: and it is kind of on lockdown for the most part, 68 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: but you still have the freedom of having a phone. 69 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: But I'm still watching you. Well, but see and see okay, 70 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: by the way, because that's how I'm watching you. It is. 71 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of Big brother esque, but it's it's kind 72 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: of like a helicopter. Parent is like a bird and 73 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: a nest, right they just never really let the bird 74 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: leave the nest, even though the bird needs to leave 75 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: the nest, needs to go out and experience some things, 76 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: which I think is what you're letting finally happen. Well, 77 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: Mama's still watching, I know, and Mama and Daddy, as 78 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: you like to say it, are still watching. But how 79 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: are you feeling now you've you've given him this responsibility. 80 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: It's probably been a few weeks now, right, So how 81 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: are you feeling in these few weeks? Are you more 82 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: anxious than you were before, because like you did let 83 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: go of some of the rains. Are you freaking out? 84 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: How are you feeling. We've had a couple of instances 85 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: where he's kind of h we walk into the room 86 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: and he has his phone, you know already. And it's 87 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: been two weeks, so so I knew. But again I've 88 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: expected this, and so I've we've come to the to 89 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: the I guess conclusion that he is not really hiding things. 90 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: He's just scared that anything that we find is going 91 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: to get him in trouble. He's very cautious. He's like, 92 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be as protective as a protective as 93 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: you guys are being of him. He's being more protective 94 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: of his phone. But you gave it to me, Please 95 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: don't take it away. I think it's going to be 96 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: a great thing in the long run, I really do. 97 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: I think this is just the first for both of 98 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: for him and us, So we'll see how it goes. 99 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: But other than that, he's very happy. He's very very 100 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: happy that he has a phone now and he can 101 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: and I think it's cool that he can be at 102 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: school and I can text him be like, hey buddy, 103 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: how school going. Well, yeah, it's a safety thing too, 104 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: like they can call you if something happens and maybe 105 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have known until the school called you. We 106 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: don't know how long that dikes anymore, So I do 107 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: think it's really cool. Do you also think that now 108 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: with your three other kids? Because I'm the youngest and 109 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: I have three older sisters. You know, everything was easy 110 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: for me with my parents. They didn't worry too much 111 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: about me because they'd already been through it all. So 112 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: do you think as time goes on with this that 113 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna be less and less strict with your other kids? Probably? 114 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I think we'll also learn more about the phone too, 115 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: as we get older and learn how kids use it 116 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: and how we can as parents can protect it a 117 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: little better. So, I mean, twelve to me was very 118 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's extremely early, especially when I thought it 119 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: was gonna be eighteen. So I'm I don't see my 120 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: kids getting a phone like a ten now, Like it's 121 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: not going to be one of those things. Maybe twelve 122 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: is the new guideline, like when your other kids turn twelve, 123 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: We're going to try to keep twelve as the as 124 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: the day that as the year that you'll get a phone. 125 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: But are you now no longer at least saying this 126 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: is never going to happen. You've come to the conclusion 127 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: that you can never say never anymore as a parent. Yeah, 128 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: especially when it comes in technology. Yeah. Yeah, and peer 129 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: pressure is a thing too, you know, like, and it's 130 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: not that it's friends were pressuring him to get a phone. 131 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: He just felt like he really was left out and 132 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: he made a good case on why he needed one, 133 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: and we're we're, hey, we're willing to try it out. 134 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: So well, here you have it. A converted helicopter parent. Nice, 135 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: I'll take that's sure. I don't mind the helicopter parent. 136 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: I like that label. I feel like, to me, that's 137 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: that's what we all need to be a little bit Well, 138 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: that is totally okay that you have But I do 139 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: believe we have a somewhat converted helicopter parent. You heard 140 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: it from him how he feels how things are going 141 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 1: to change in their household from now on. But listen 142 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: back to this segment about Eddie talking about giving his 143 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: son the phone number seven. I'm a little ashamed to 144 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: admit because I was very, very strong about this. When 145 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: I became a parent, I knew that technology was going 146 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: to change around me and I was going to be 147 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 1: dealing with technology things with my kids, and I always 148 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: said that I'm going to stick to my guns when 149 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: it comes to getting my kids a phone till they 150 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: turn eighteen. Was I can to get my kids their 151 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 1: first phone. But as we got there, you guys kept 152 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: saying like, oh my gosh, you're gonna change your mind, Eddie, 153 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: there's no way that you can avoid this. You're gonna 154 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna want to get your kids a phone, or 155 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: have to get your kids a phone. Well, guys, Christmas 156 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: came around, my wife and I decided we got my 157 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: son a phone. Wow, oh wow, do you know there's 158 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: other options? I will look. Look, here's what we just man, 159 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: here's what we decided. We said that, my wife and 160 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: I said, and he's like, you know what, he's really 161 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: been asking for it, and that's not why we did it. 162 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: But we said, we got to trust him. There's a 163 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: point in our life where we have to say we 164 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: trust him enough to give him this device. It's so 165 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: scary that he has the world in the palm of 166 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: his hands. It's secured and it's protected anytime he has 167 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: to google stuff or look up things that aren't under 168 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: the restrictions we put in there were getting alert in 169 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: our phones and I have to approve it. So it's protected, 170 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: but still scary. The best thing in the world is 171 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: that if I need to talk to him right now, 172 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: I can call him. I can text him right now 173 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: while he's at school. Hey, Bud, how's it going. That's 174 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: pretty cool? So what apps are you allowing? Instagram? No? 175 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: No, no no, no Instagram. He's not doing social media anything 176 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: like that. What apps will you allowing? It's just the 177 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: regular stuff. He has iTunes, he can listen to music. 178 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: He has a Disney Plus on there and things like that. 179 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: He can text his friends, but there's only a list 180 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: of friends that we've allowed. If he wants to add 181 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: a new number, we have to approve it. So it's 182 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: pretty locked down, which he's not really cool with right now. 183 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to get over that because step 184 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: one he got a phone. Was he surprised to have 185 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a phone? Yeah? He, I mean, he just couldn't believe 186 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: it that we got to that level. I think we 187 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: were talking about it, maybe you know earlier last year 188 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: of like, are you gonna get your son a phone? 189 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: And I was I said no and absolutely not. And 190 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: he came to me Dad, like, I want you to 191 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: stop talking about that. Would notice I never talked about 192 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: it after like July because he was like I want 193 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: you to stop. You're embarrassing me and my kids, my 194 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: friends at school or like they have phones and things 195 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: like that. Like it's making me really upset. So I 196 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: respected it, didn't talk about it anymore. But now and 197 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: I asked him last night, are you cool with me 198 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: telling everyone that I got your phone? He's like, absolutely, 199 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: tell everyone I got a phone. Does he have the 200 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: Internet browser? Though? He does, but it's restricted, but you can. 201 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: You can get on Instagram through the Internet and have 202 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: your own account there. He does not have Instagram. Look, bones, 203 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: we're gonna trust him with all this stuff.

But thankfully the story has 223 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: a really good ending because Building Homes for Heroes came 224 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: in and they built him a home that was perfectly 225 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: made for him, and with your guys's help, we raised 226 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand dollars to help them build that home. 227 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: And the really good news is that this week we 228 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: got to share that he moved into his home in Austin, 229 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: Texas with his family and they were so excited.

Would you consider hiring a 334 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 1: nine nurse? No? Because I mean it really didn't affect 335 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: my sleep. I didn't have to get up in the 336 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: middle of the night. Let's be real, my wife, because 337 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: you're saying, like your wife, well, she had everything, she 338 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: had a breastfeed, so I can't breastfeed. So why would 339 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: I be getting up in the middle of the night, 340 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: And I think I don't think my wife wouldn't because 341 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: she enjoys that bonding time with the kid. She doesn't 342 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: want some you know, Nancy coming over here in her 343 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: little outfit. Oh here, come here, Timmy, and then you know, 344 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: I guess they and coddle them back to bed. So 345 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: my wife enjoyed that she was tired, yes, but she enjoyed. 346 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say all the time, but most of the 347 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: time the bonding time. Do you feel like that's part 348 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: of the experience as a parent too? Is like that 349 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: bonding time and just being so tired, and that's just 350 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: part of parenthood. I think so. But if I mean, 351 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: I guess if you're if you got money and you 352 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: can afford them, and but yes, I think it's part 353 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: of bonding. And I think I mean, listen, my wife 354 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: had nothing to do the rest of the day except 355 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: for watch the kid, and when the kids sleep, she sleeps. 356 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: So in the middle of afternoon, take a nap when 357 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: the kid naps. She ain't going to work because guess what, 358 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: you're on maternity leaves, So why do you need someone 359 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: else to come in and watch your kids. I don't know, 360 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: but yeah, whatever, but yeah, So then I called. I 361 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: didn't even I thought, Okay, you'll find one place that 362 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: has a nurse, nanny, night nurse, whatever they're called. There 363 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: are organizations galore that have these, so they're a lot 364 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: more popular than I realized. And I ever knew. And 365 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: you prant call because you were trying to get a 366 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: night nurse for yourself. Now, if a night nurse for 367 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: adults was actually a thing, would you ever try that? No? 368 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: Because what I don't need help doing anything? Like, I 369 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: don't need help. You know, hey, maybe they like tickle 370 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 1: your back, maybe they like sing you a lallaby. I 371 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: don't know, but maybe adults need night nurses. I don't 372 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: need a night nurse because I'm the best sleeper you've 373 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: ever met in your life. I could lay down right 374 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: here on this floor and I'd be asleep. I'd be 375 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: asleep in about three minutes on this hard floor right here. 376 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: So I don't need a night nurse. I don't know 377 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: what a night nurse would do for me, unless if 378 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: I had to go to the bathroom and she'd bring 379 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: a bucket over and I could just pee right there 380 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: and then not even had to get out of bed. 381 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: That would be awesome. But besides that, I don't need 382 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: a night nurse. But I don't think any human would 383 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: want to take that anyway. Hey, there's a price for everything, 384 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: you know. I'm saying, Happy Year. And I do want 385 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: to tell this story too, because Lunchbox saying that he 386 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: could fall asleep anywhere. It is so true. On all 387 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: of our work trips, when we fly on a plane somewhere, 388 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: we can be not even two feet off the ground 389 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: and Lunchbox is already passed out and nothing can wake 390 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: him up until that airplane hits the ground again. I'm 391 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: telling you. In high school one of my track meets, 392 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: I would go and it's concrete. I would go underneath 393 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: the bleachers and I would just put a sweatshirt under 394 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: my head and lay straight on the concrete. Fall asleep, 395 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: No problem, no care. Well, there you have it from 396 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: the Sleeping King himself on how he feels about night nurses, 397 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: and no, he probably won't ever get one for himself. 398 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: But listen back to this prank call because it's pretty hilarious. 399 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Number five. Amy mentioned that in one of her friends 400 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: wedding registries you could donate, and they took that money 401 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: and hired a night nurse once or twice a week. 402 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: Baby shower registry, not wedding, he said, wedding. That would 403 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: be really weird. I don't know the difference in these things. Okay, 404 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: So that's when you're pregnant, you're gonna have a baby shower, 405 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: and you put a bunch of gift ideas up and 406 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: people get to choose. And yes, they had night nurse 407 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: is an option, not for you to pay for the 408 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: whole thing, but you could donate twenty five fifty bucks 409 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: towards it, and then they would have funds to tap 410 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: into if they needed to hire help. Well, then I go, 411 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 1: a night nurse does all that? I should have one 412 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: for me? Yeah, got a little chuckle. Then Lunchbox took 413 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: it to the next level. He called a night nurse 414 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: to see what it would be like to actually hire 415 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: one for an adult man. So there was a talk 416 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: about this and the benefits of having one. So here 417 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: you go, Lunchbox is calling to see if she would 418 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: take care of him. By the way, Lunchboxes four hundred 419 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: and seventy three months old, Hey, you're wondering howld the 420 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: baby is because when you talk baby talk, you always 421 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: say how old are six months? Twelve months, thirteen months? 422 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 1: So here you go. Hello, Oh, yes, ma'am, I'm just 423 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: calling to get some information on a night nanny.

You know, sometimes I have nightmares. 446 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: Hang up, you want anything to do with that? That's funny, huh. 447 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two. 448 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: Raymundo returns from his honeymoon in Aruba this week. He 449 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 1: and Bay had a fun time, as we all saw 450 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: on Instagram, and I just have a lot of questions. 451 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: He talked about it on the show and we heard 452 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: a crazy story about a drug dealer and some Thailand 453 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: all but I have more questions about the honeymoon that 454 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: I need answered, So I brought Ray on What up? Ray? 455 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: All right? Ray, we really need to discuss this. I 456 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: think you talked about it on the Store Losers podcast 457 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. Yes, but you had an Instagram fight 458 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: with Bay and I need to know what happened. So 459 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: let me preface this was saying, at this all inclusive resort, 460 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: they give you all the alcohol you could possibly ever 461 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: imagine in your life. With that said, I was overserved. 462 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: Let me, I think that point was obvious, right, I'm 463 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: glad you made it clear. He blames it on the resort. 464 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: So I mean, I had had been drinking from Mimosa's 465 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: at brunch at nine am, through lunch to the pool 466 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: to me playing catch with some kids, still drinking chills. 467 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: I had drank probably twenty to twenty five drinks in 468 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: the course of eight hours. Smash cut, I get on 469 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: my phone and maybe I just had never released this 470 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: anger or energy before. But I really hate cancer and 471 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: so which is fair, by the way, very fair point. 472 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: They had cancer in twenty eighteen. She's over a year 473 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: now recovered from that cancer. She's cancer free. So on 474 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: this island, after twenty these beers that we drank are 475 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: called chills. After a multitude of them, maybe a twenty 476 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: four pack, I decided to go on Instagram and just 477 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: annihilate cancer. I was like, f cancer, cancer, and I 478 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: was since deleted about six hours after that. I had 479 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: to pull the Instagram stories because they were embarrassing and 480 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: they also were confusing people. People thought that Bay had cancer. Again, 481 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: that was never the case. She was in and out 482 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: of naps, so she never saw the post, and then 483 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: she woke up, and then that's when she responded. And 484 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: I believe there was one post where she said, his 485 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: heart is bigger than his head. He shouldn't never post 486 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: this stuff like that because it confused so many people 487 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: to the point where she has a hairdresser that never 488 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: is the hardest person to get a hold of. Never 489 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: on social media, so hard to get text back. She's 490 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: very close with this person. She got a text from 491 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: that person in a rub and said, what is going on? 492 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: I'm scared to death. Respond now. So my wife woke 493 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: up out of a nap and just I mean her phone. 494 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: There's no telling how many text messages, Instagram, Twitter messages 495 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: she woke up to this news. Had you passed out already? No. 496 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: It was a large resort. There was so much to do. 497 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: There was a casino, there was a beach, there's a 498 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: pool area. We had a pass. We were always on 499 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: the move, never once where we sat and terry where 500 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: we just sat down and did nothing. We treated that 501 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: it was called the palace. We treated that palace like 502 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: it was our house. I mean I was also there's 503 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: no telling where I was. But you were not near 504 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: her at that moment, I was not Yeah, she was 505 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: all by herself and she woke up, and then she 506 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: sees your Instagram post for the first time, like a 507 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: lot of other people did, and she was understandably very 508 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: upset with you what we saw, what happened on Instagram. 509 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: But what was that conversation that went down after a share? 510 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: As much or as little as you want, But what 511 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: was that conversation after Was she like, ray we really 512 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: got to work on what you drunk post. I think 513 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: she did throw a pillow at me. It did hit 514 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 1: my ray Man sunglasses. I was upset about that, but 515 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: that was really the only aggression she took out on me. 516 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: And basically she said, it was very sweet that the 517 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: caretaker goes through a lot when it comes to cancer, 518 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: and that never gets addressed most of the time. And 519 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: maybe it took me two years to fully just get 520 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: rid of those demons and just leave him in Aruba, 521 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: which is what I did on Instagram in the waves? 522 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: Was that almost like your own version of therapy that 523 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of happened there? Tell you what, After doing those 524 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: tweets or whatever the Instagram stories, I felt good. I 525 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: got yelled at. It was a damn good feeling. But 526 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: maybe that was like an argument y'all needed to have too, 527 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: like just because like you just needed it. You both 528 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: needed to let it out, not on each other, but 529 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: just at cancer in life. Right. Yeah, it was a 530 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: confusing moment, but it was so beneficial because the next 531 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: day we're totally good. We're at Mimosas at nine am, 532 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: We're doing high fives, we're hugging. I'm going in for 533 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: a super tight hug. I'm going in for the makeout. 534 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: Life was great after that, but there was a three 535 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: four hour span where family members of hers were confused 536 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: just because she got she didn't really know what was 537 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: going on, and I don't believe she immediately checked Instagram, 538 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: so she's just like, what are all these people saying? 539 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: And I wasn't there to explain it to her. So 540 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: there you go. Now, are we still going to get 541 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: drunk ray on social media after this incident? Or have 542 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: you rained it in a bit? I feel like all 543 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: everybody always says there's life lessons. That was a major 544 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: life lesson. It's just never good. Never have. I woke 545 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: up after doing Instagram Twitter after drinking and said, man, 546 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: I'm so glad I did that it's always regrets. So 547 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: with that said, we're going to be a lot more 548 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: careful with what we do with our phones when we've 549 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: been drinking, and maybe don't drink that much. Maybe it's 550 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: okay to just have a couple of drinks. I mean, 551 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: I probably floated a keg that day and the entire 552 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: staff is like, dude, can we get this guy to 553 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: the resort. He's draining our bar. So not only did 554 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: you have a therapy session, but a life lesson that 555 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: potentially stopped future drunk Ray posts from happening hopefully, So 556 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 1: fingers crossed, I learned a very, very valuable thing. I 557 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: never want to hurt my wife like that again. And 558 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: if it means only having a couple beers instead of twelve, 559 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with doing that. You're a changed man. 560 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one is coming in strong, free array. Well, 561 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: besides this moment, I want to hear a few other 562 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: things about Aruba, give us the good stuff besides this 563 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: crazy moment, and obviously the Thailand all story that you 564 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: guys are going to hear in a moment when we 565 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,239 Speaker 1: play it back from the show this week. But right, 566 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: what else happened that was good from your honeymoon. We'll 567 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: leave this on a good note. Yeah. Yeah. So you 568 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: roll into a Ruba and when you land, when I 569 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: say you don't see the island until you land, I 570 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: ain't kid. And it was like boom wheels on the runway. 571 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's an island. Usually landing in America, 572 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: there's so much land, not a Ruba. I mean it 573 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: is a very small island. The second we're there, people 574 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: in a Ruba, you'll always have worldviews. Oh, this country's 575 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: nice systems. Arubian people are nice as heck man. They 576 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: are so sweet that we felt so at home. It 577 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: was confusing, honestly. When you first land, you got to 578 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: go through immigration. You gotta have a green chap mark, 579 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: you gotta have a COVID test. They were so nice 580 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: to us and they're like, give us that form, Okay, 581 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: you can go. It was an absolute blessing. We landed 582 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: boom to the resort. From there, the staff, the bartenders, 583 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: the Maize, they were all. They don't know a ton 584 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: of English. Their language is something like Portuguese. It's a 585 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: kind of like an offshoot of Portuguese. Very confusing. I 586 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 1: don't understand it. But they went out of their way 587 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: to understand American. Wait, so how did you order beers? 588 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: Is beer the same word in that language? Or are 589 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: you sure you were drinking beers? No? No, they know 590 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: the words it bloshy, that's one of the beer. There's 591 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: only two beers, they're the main ones, bloshy and chill. 592 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: So they know those two words. They know tequila, they know. 593 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, I made up the sizzing coral while I 594 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: was there, a little mixed drink. So they're they're awesome. Honestly, 595 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: there is a little bit of a language barrier, but 596 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: the fact that they go out of their way to 597 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: understand you and your needs is the utmost best. But yeah, 598 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: the real quick about the resort epic they called a 599 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: palace for a reason. It almost looks like something out 600 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: of Dubai. I mean, if you're walking the beach, you're like, 601 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: holy crap, what is that hotel? What is that resort? 602 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: That's where Sisson was staying. It was massive. Did you 603 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: guys get to go on any adventures like parasailing or 604 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: snorkeling or I don't know, all the exotic things you 605 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: do on an island. Yep, we did a catamaran which 606 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: was dope, and that was basically just drink. That was 607 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: a booze cruise. Yep, I hope that's not the theme. 608 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: But and then he did. We did the snorkeling where 609 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: they took us to a shipwreck and you got to 610 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: see Titanic underwater style shipwreck. Pretty dope. Some people actually 611 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: took off their school uh snorkel and dove in. I'm like, 612 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: y'all are crazy. They didn't do that? No, no, no, 613 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 1: because I had read stuff that there was a crazy 614 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: fish and stuff a bunch of marine life, which you 615 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: really why didn't you want to see the crazy marine life. 616 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: That's a point of snorkeling, because I ain't trying to 617 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: go to a Ruba and be the ruben guy or 618 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: the guy in a Ruba that died in the shipwreck 619 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: that it already wrecked. So just to clarify, Ray now 620 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: not only almost got into jail in a Ruba, he 621 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: also was afraid of dying. So this is all very well. 622 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: But then we did a speedboat where we rode on 623 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: the back. It was a giant inter tube, so I 624 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: was able. It was a honeymoon style, so we're holding 625 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: hands the whole time. My wife was scared death and 626 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: she would only do it with me. So we're going 627 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: over these bumps. Imagine going to your family's favorite lake 628 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: and doing inter tubing on the backfastpeedboat we did in 629 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: the Caribbean. Mother effort. I mean it was so dope. 630 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: We did it for thirty minutes for thirty dollars. After 631 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: we got done, I was like, can I do that again? 632 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: But wife wasn't having it. Well, I'm really glad that 633 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: you guys had some really awesome moments. Besides one crazy 634 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: little hiccup and a crazy drug story, it sounds like 635 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: it was overall, you guys had an insane time. Best 636 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: moment we did a five star meal. It was rated 637 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: by the New York Times as the number one place 638 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: to go into Ruba. It was I had had Mahi 639 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: Mahi bay had steak, the best Michelin style meal we've 640 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: ever had. It was called Fishbone. If you ever go 641 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: to a Ruba go there. It's a little pricey. A 642 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: listener actually paid for it. Oh, this is the one 643 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: where you were sitting out in the water, right, Yes, 644 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: you aren't allowed to take your shoes because our table 645 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: is in the water, so if you complain, Um, wait, staff, 646 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: small problem, my feats in the water. No, it's in 647 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: the Caribbean. That's all it's supposed to be. You're gonna 648 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: get a little wet if a wave kind of picked 649 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: up a little bit, maybe your ankles get wet. But 650 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: it was so sick and it lasted for hours. We 651 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: saw the sunset, the most beautiful pictures ever and everybody. 652 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: You can just hear people gasping left and right. You 653 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: don't see that type of a moment ever, and we 654 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: got to do it on our honeymoon. It's like something 655 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: we'll remember for the rest of our lives. I love that. 656 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: I think that's a perfect thing to end on. And 657 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: before I do, go a little fact check. They speak 658 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: Dutch apparently down there. Oh oh, I knew I wasn't right. 659 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,239 Speaker 1: It was close. But now you can listen back to 660 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: his crazy story about a drug incident. No, Ray wasn't 661 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: on any drugs. He was looking for Taylan All almost 662 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: went to jail. It's crazy. Listen back to this. Thanks 663 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: Ray for sharing the full story of your honeymoon. Number four, 664 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: Would you guys get married? Ray got married in end 665 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: of October, so your honeymoon was in a Ruba. Why 666 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: a Rube during COVID they let people in her way, Yeah, 667 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: you had to get a COVID test. So the entire 668 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: in theory, the entire island was COVID free. So how 669 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: was it? Awesome? Water? Possibly the bluest I've ever seen. 670 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: Every shade now, I mean you're talking your royals, your 671 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: baby blues, all of them. It's an unbelievable resort. It 672 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: was almost just like it was called a palace. We 673 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: stayed at a place literally called that, so it looked 674 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: just like that. Anything crazy happened on any trip. There 675 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: was some wild stuff. Yet my wife, honestly, she slipped 676 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: late in the trip and heard her legs, so I 677 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: was trying to find some tail in all for a while, 678 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: that was the bad stuff. The good stuff was catamaran rides, 679 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: saw shipwrecks, went snorkeling, showing on the beach, doing absolutely 680 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: nothing for seven days. I mean, it doesn't get better 681 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: than that. Why it was finding her tailand all such 682 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: a dramatic thing. She was in pain, she took a 683 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: hard fall. It would rain at night and we didn't 684 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: really realize that. And however, they make these buildings. It's 685 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: really slippery the tile. They would put up signs all 686 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: the time, very slippery, Be careful. And then the wind 687 00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: would blow, and I mean, even though it's a summer place, 688 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: it was like ice. She did her legs went right 689 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: out from under her. Had coffee and luckily she didn't 690 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: tear or break anything. But she was in a lot 691 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: of pain. So what happened ended up talking. I saw 692 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: a guy, I went to a marketplace trying to find 693 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: never found tailan hall. She was in pain for two days. 694 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: Finally got back to the States. But she's better now. 695 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 1: She's on the end. Are you not gonna tell the 696 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: drug story? Did you want me to? Well? I know it. 697 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: There's a drug story. Yeah, and I thought it was 698 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: a great story. But he's not going to it, so 699 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. If he's not going to I will 700 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: go to it. Okay, go ahead. So first day i'm there, 701 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: a guy asked me, do you want weed? I said no. 702 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: Second day i'm there, he goes, hey, man, do you 703 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: want mushrooms? Ecstasy? Okay? And I said no. So the 704 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: fifth day, my wife hurts her leg and I look 705 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: at every store, every gas station, every health place. No 706 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: tailing all on the entire island. If you're gonna start 707 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: a business, start a tailing all business. Okay, they don't exist. 708 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: So then I get to thinking, what if I go 709 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: and ask the drug dealer? Okay, so I go. He's there, 710 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: easy to find. They're all over the beach. I asked him. 711 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: I said, hey, man, I heard you were pedling some 712 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: stuff earlier. Do you have tailan all? And he goes, 713 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 1: thailan all, and I go, yeah, that's I really needed 714 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: for my wife, And so he starts yelling to his 715 00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: buddies there. They were almost a network. Hey tail Tyl, 716 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: Hey Marco, jose Im, it's quite a scene right now, okay. 717 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: And they're security guards at these resorts, and so it 718 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: dawns on me that's probably what these security guards are 719 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: here for, to bust people, tourists trying to get drugs. 720 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: And it looks like I'm trying to get drugs. I'm 721 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 1: gonna end up in a ruby and jail trying to 722 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: get tail in all. So I just started took it, 723 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: took off. I absolutely bailed from the situation. I was like, 724 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: forget it, dude, I don't need it. I don't need 725 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: anymore that It was a wake up call that I 726 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: literally could have been in a jail cell because I 727 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: was trying to get tail in all in a ruba 728 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: and he didn't want to get to that story. So 729 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: how is she now? She better? Yeah, she's fine. Okay, 730 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: good there you haven't and Ry told us yesterday she 731 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: got the vaccine. Yeah, because she had breast cancer? Correct? 732 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: And did they say that you could maybe if you're 733 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 1: just there and you had your shoulder out, maybe you 734 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: could get you one. I thought in my head, what 735 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: if I was in the same room and there was 736 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit left in the syringe, Maybe they 737 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: give me some of the vaccine. Who knows. And they 738 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: did it, but I was asleep. I was taking an 739 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: app when she did it. It's the best bits of 740 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: the week with Morgan Number two. Eddie is a father 741 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: of four. He has two biological kids and two foster children, 742 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: and if you've been following his story, he's been working 743 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: on adopting those two other children and making them permanent 744 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: members of their family, and this week Eddie gave us 745 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: an update. It wasn't like great news, but it's also 746 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: not bad news, and we love hearing updates from Eddie. 747 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 1: And he also mentioned that the kids are really excited 748 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: about calling him daddy now, so you want to listen 749 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: to this. It's really adorable. Number three, Alyssa and Arkansas 750 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: is on the phone, who has decided to call us 751 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: and very thankful for that. Hi Alessa, Hi, good morning, 752 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: Good morning. So I am a foster home. We currently 753 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 1: have eight kids and first time caller. I'm also from Arkansas, 754 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: and I was just kind of wanting to get an 755 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: update on Eddie and how it's sewing with his foster 756 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: kid out. I think he still just has one too, 757 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: too too two bonus kids, so I just kind of 758 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: wanted to see how that was going. Eddie. How long 759 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: you've kind of been fostering now and you know how 760 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: it's going. Well, it's gonna be two years this month, 761 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: so that's pretty crazy. I got two kids two years 762 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,800 Speaker 1: this month. We're looking at parental rights being terminated. August 763 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,279 Speaker 1: is the target date of this year, of that long August, yes, 764 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: and it's and you gotta understand it's stressful to know 765 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: this because at any moment, and we thought during the 766 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: holidays we would worry that, you know, a case worker 767 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: would go to the house and meet with the parents 768 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 1: and they'd have it just a change of heart. And 769 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 1: for us two years of having these kids, oh man, 770 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: we're in that transition where this these aren't just our 771 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: foster kids anymore. Like these are these kids are a 772 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: part of our life. And if they get things change 773 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: and they have to go back, it's gonna be bad 774 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: for us. It's gonna be bad for them. I mean, 775 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: the baby is all we know. We picked him up 776 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: in the hospital, so to him, we are his parents, 777 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: So it could. I mean, We've just everyone that we've 778 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: talked to were like, just pray for us, please please, 779 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,359 Speaker 1: because if anything happens, I mean, it could be pretty bad. 780 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: So August is a long time to wait. But that's 781 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: the time. You think last year you would have got 782 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: two kids. Yes, yeah, and we thought it would be 783 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 1: by now. But I remember Amy talking about her adoption 784 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: and how long it took, and I was like, this 785 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: is ridiculous, how long it takes. And now I understand 786 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: that this kind of stuff takes a long long time 787 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: and we just have to be patient. Well you think 788 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: about that, Alyssa, Yeah, I mean I completely understand. We 789 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: have three adopted out of the foster care system, and 790 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: then two biological and then we have three more bonus 791 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: kids right now, so I understand how long the process 792 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: can be, and sometimes it takes years, which it can 793 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:02,200 Speaker 1: be frustrated, if frustrating and a little disheartening. But we'll 794 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: be playing for you too. I just kind of hadn't 795 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 1: heard an upstate lately, and you know, we're kind of 796 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,839 Speaker 1: in the same boat, so we wanted to check in 797 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: with Yeah, thank you. Other than that, everything's great. I mean, 798 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm daddy now, like they don't call me yet anymore, 799 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: which is a huge change. I'm daddy now to both 800 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: of them, and it's pretty cool and we're loving every 801 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: minute of it. Well, they think about flying on the 802 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: airplane for the first time, I'm amazing, amazing. So it 803 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: was funny on the way to Texas, we flew for 804 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: the first time and our five year old foster son, 805 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: he's never fly on a plane, and every time he 806 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,200 Speaker 1: saw a plane in the sky he was like, you 807 00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: think I'll ever get on one of those. I'm like, 808 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure one day you will. But he had no 809 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: idea that we were flying. He gets on it and 810 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: he's freaking out. Even the baby's looking out the window, going, oh, Wow, 811 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: and that moment when the plane takes off and starts shaking. 812 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: They loved it. Now on the way back, it's like 813 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: they've been flying for years. They're like, whatever, check in 814 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: back here? All right? This is my seat, dad? Cool? 815 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: All right? Seatbelt? Not even looking out the window? Can 816 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: you close it please? A little bright? I'm like, this 817 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Is your second time? Let's thank you for 818 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: the car. I hope you have a great day. Yeah, 819 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 1: it's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two. 820 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 1: While we were on vacation, so much happened. Bobby and 821 00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: his fiance Caitlin welcomed a new fur baby to the family. Currently, 822 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,280 Speaker 1: he has a bulldog, Stanley, which everybody knows, but now 823 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: they have another four legged family member. She was a 824 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,279 Speaker 1: gift to Caitlin for her birthday. And let's just say 825 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: things are going a little difficult, mostly because she's a 826 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 1: puppy and she was a rescue. So Bobby talked about 827 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: adopting her, the whole process and what life has been 828 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: like for them being parents of two fur babies. Number 829 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: two so I'll tell you one of the big developing 830 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 1: stories from over the break was we got a new 831 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 1: dog we adopted dog they founded on the street. We 832 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 1: were like, we'll take that dog. So there's a place 833 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: called Wags and Walks. Yes, so that's what it's called, right, 834 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: And so we went through them. They said it's a 835 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: were fostering it at this house and so we go 836 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: over and it was for Caitlin's birthday, by the way, 837 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: which is tomorrow. She wants another dog. She wanted a 838 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: girl dog. It was all and I was looking for 839 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: the right one. But we needed a dog that wouldn't 840 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: be bullied once it got older by our bulldog. And 841 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: he's a really nice, loving dog, but he's just so big. 842 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: He's like half husky oak half half husky half coonhound 843 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: really half. I don't know, you're making that up. No, no, 844 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: that part the DNA testing knew that with dogs. Now 845 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: that's cool, and it came with the dog. Yeah, it's 846 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: kind of cool. So we go and we get the dog, 847 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 1: and you know what, rightfully, so this little dog is 848 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: just a mess, wants to bite an attack everything that 849 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: grabs it because it's been on the streets. He's a puppy, right, 850 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 1: She is a puppy. She is three and a half 851 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: months old. She's biting Stanley's face and he takes it 852 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 1: and then finally he's like, I'm not taking this anymore 853 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: and just takes his pong, goes boom and knocks her 854 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: across the room. No, here's just for like four days, 855 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: it was just out of control. So we have a 856 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 1: friend who's a trainer. We go, hey, he's spent some 857 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 1: time with this dog. So right now the dog is 858 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: being trained. But even after a couple of weeks, you know, 859 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: it's still a puppy. But it has went through this product. 860 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: It has been it has been a lot. Yeah, so 861 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: I know the same friend and because it's a friend 862 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: of ours, dog hate a hole one of their jackets 863 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: the dog and they were wearing the jacket and the 864 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: dog will just jump. You know what the dog reminds 865 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: me of, By the way, I'll tell your name in 866 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: a second. But the dog that the dog we just adopted, 867 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: who is going We're gonna straighten it down. She's gonna 868 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: have a great life. Yeah, But the dog reminds me 869 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: of if you're running through a field and like a 870 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: chigger gets on you, it just jumps and all of 871 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: a sudden it's there and you can't get it. Off 872 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,400 Speaker 1: and then they're everyone. That's what the dog reminds you of, 873 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, it's just latched onto you, 874 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: and so we're gonna get there. It's very small, it's 875 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: very angry, and it should be angry because it's had 876 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: a rough life. Caitlin named it Eller. Now do you 877 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,440 Speaker 1: know why, Eddie?

It's the best bits of the week 883 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: with Morgan. Number two. Our biggest segment from the show 884 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: this week was none other than Morgan Wallen. I mean, 885 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 1: he's basically all everybody can talk about right now. He 886 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,879 Speaker 1: was our Friday Morning conversation because he dropped a double album. 887 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: Not just a normal, you know, twelve thirteen song record. No, 888 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,399 Speaker 1: he dropped a double album called Dangerous, and he came 889 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 1: on the show to talk all about it, plus about 890 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: that really controversial Walmart leak of his album, and even 891 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: performed some of the songs, but here it is. This 892 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 1: is a really awesome review. You might as well just 893 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: have it on repeat along with his album All Week 894 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,879 Speaker 1: and Lost number one. The Friday morning conversation with Morgan, 895 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 1: How are you, budd, I'm doing good. How are you doing? 896 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: You're extremely fresh faced? Yeah, I had a mustash yesterday, 897 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,959 Speaker 1: but I woke up today and decided to off with it. 898 00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: What happened because I was seeing that Walmart actually leaked 899 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: your record? Like, what do you know it to happen? Um, 900 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 1: I guess a few Walmart's I don't know around the area. 901 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: I mean it was like I think it was like Wisconsin, 902 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 1: Missouri some other places just put it out on the 903 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 1: shelf too early. And then also it was out physical, 904 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,600 Speaker 1: which I think they may do that sometimes just to 905 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: get it ready, but then it'll show up like unauthorized 906 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: when you go to buy it. But they just started 907 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: authorizing it anyway, I think, from what I can, from 908 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 1: what I understand. So, but that's how you know you 909 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 1: made it when it's not just an accident, it's a leak. 910 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm fine with that. You know, I've honestly 911 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 1: thought about doing something like that on purpose before. But 912 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 1: this was an accident. There are thirty songs total on 913 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:01,319 Speaker 1: the two records. The target has a plus two. Yeah, 914 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: it'll be thirty two overall. So how many songs do 915 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: you write to trim it to thirty two? Uh? I 916 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: don't know, Probably like a hundreds something like that. I 917 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: would say, how long does it take you to write 918 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: one hundred songs? Uh? Me, it probably took about two 919 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,479 Speaker 1: and a half years. I mean, you know, some people, 920 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: I think a lot. Uh. Some artists may write more 921 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 1: than that. But for me, I don't write every day 922 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,839 Speaker 1: or write all the time. You know, just when it comes, 923 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 1: and it comes and goes for me. But I'd say 924 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: probably two and a half years. I was looking at 925 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: my phone before you came in. Amy, listen to this. 926 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: Morgan texts me on Monday, December twenty eighth at seven 927 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: fifty am, which, by the way, it's during it. I 928 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,920 Speaker 1: thought my house was on fire. Someone who texts me 929 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,280 Speaker 1: at seven forty five in the morning on the twentieth. 930 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, go, phone's ringing. I'm like, what happened? 931 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: And he goes, hope you had a merry Christmas? Brother 932 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: disclaim where I was in the east. I was on 933 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: Eastern time zone, So it was eight forty five for me. 934 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,120 Speaker 1: What were you doing up so early during break? I 935 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: don't know. I was like, what is he doing? I 936 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: wasn't even up there? And I replied back, I was 937 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: like you too, man, see you soon. And I was like, 938 00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 1: what is Morgan doing up at eight o'clock? I think 939 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 1: that might have been Oh, I was hit. I think 940 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: I was headed to Charleston. What did you do for Christmas? 941 00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: I think I was listening to the radio and you 942 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: came on or something. Okay, so it was like a 943 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 1: best of show, I think, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I 944 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: got it. What was Christmas like for you? It was 945 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: good man, it was white and in East tennesseee we 946 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: had a white Christmas. That was cool. I think the 947 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: last time we had that was about ten years ago. 948 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 1: Just spending with my family, man, it was it was 949 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 1: real cool. When you go back home and I know 950 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: where you grew up, and it's around Knoxville. But what's home? 951 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: What do you call home when you go home? What town? Well, 952 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: I Knoxville and Sneeville both, um. You know, I spent 953 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,160 Speaker 1: a majority of my time in Knoxville growing up. I'd 954 00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: say probably around ten years, but I spent five or 955 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:44,719 Speaker 1: six in Sneedville, and that's where I was born. That's 956 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 1: where a lot of my families from, So I just 957 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 1: kind of consider them both my home. If you go 958 00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: to a restaurant or you got to Chilies or something, 959 00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: do you start seeing people go up Morgan Wallen's and Chilies. 960 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,879 Speaker 1: I don't go there anyway. You're just good, You just chill. Yeah, yeah, 961 00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 1: all right, you got you put out a double album. 962 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,359 Speaker 1: Let me ask this before I play a couple of clips. 963 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: Why a double album? Why not do what's being done normally? 964 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: Are Yeah? Well, me and my manager Seth we kind 965 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 1: of started the year off last year joking around about 966 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: the idea of a double album, just because we had 967 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 1: already accumulated you know, probably I don't know, twenty twenty, 968 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, low twenties in the number of songs that 969 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: we felt like we're worthy of being recorded. And you know, 970 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 1: that's that's a weird number, because you can take that 971 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: and you can usually take it down to about fifteen 972 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 1: and just have a normal album, you know, or you 973 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: can go up. And I didn't think I was gonna 974 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,000 Speaker 1: have enough time to do it, because we're gonna be 975 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 1: touring a lot, and then you know, obviously the way 976 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,279 Speaker 1: you know, the way it last year turned out, I 977 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: ended up having a lot of time, and right when 978 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: Quarantine started, I wrote like five or six songs right 979 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 1: immediately that we felt were worth recording. So we just 980 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: decided to go up instead. The treman it down and 981 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like people really want music right now, 982 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 1: more than they have in a long time because they 983 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: got more time to listen to it. So it just 984 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: seemed like it made sense. Where does most of your 985 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,759 Speaker 1: inspiration come from for writing a song? Uh? Well, A 986 00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: lot of times it comes from experience. A lot of 987 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 1: times it comes from something that you know, like an 988 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: idea from a song can can spur from a lot 989 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 1: of things. So for me, it comes a lot from 990 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,800 Speaker 1: people talking in a conversation. You know, they'll say something like, oh, 991 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: it'll click in my head, you know that's a song idea, 992 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,879 Speaker 1: song title. But most of the things that I write 993 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,239 Speaker 1: are pretty you know, from experience or something that I've seen. 994 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 1: What about more than my hometown? Where does that come from? 995 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: And how'd that come together? Yeah? Well, me and Hardy 996 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: wrote that together. Um, we both come from you know, 997 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: similar places. He's from Mississippi, I from Tennessee, but they're 998 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: similar areas, and um man, we just we're really proud 999 00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,760 Speaker 1: of where we come from. And you know, we always 1000 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: I think we always will be. And this song kind 1001 00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 1: of also means, you know, just talking about sticking true 1002 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: to yourself, you know, in a metaphorical way. Um, no 1003 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,759 Speaker 1: matter who comes and goes, I'm gonna you know, I'll 1004 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 1: be here being myself. And we both just kind of 1005 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: felt like those two things really coincided well together. Morgan 1006 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: Wallen is here. He's got the thirty songs out today, Dangerous, 1007 00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,720 Speaker 1: the double album it is out.

I love you more in a twenty dollars 1017 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,360 Speaker 1: soundress hate that loaded down car, you got your keys 1018 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: and girl, But I hate even more that you leaving 1019 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:41,239 Speaker 1: because I love you more than when the bass, when 1020 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,160 Speaker 1: the guy gets the girl at the book. But that 1021 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:50,800 Speaker 1: ain't me. So I can't, as I see, I can't 1022 00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 1: love you more than my home, love you more than 1023 00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:15,239 Speaker 1: my houmet, love you more than my loving moving feel. Guys, man, 1024 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,799 Speaker 1: that is so good. You're high school. You went to 1025 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,880 Speaker 1: high school the same school at Kenny Chesney went to, right, 1026 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,680 Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, is there like a shrine to Kenny 1027 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 1: at your school or other one? And then but like 1028 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 1: it's not like Kenny Chesney High. They like they're no, 1029 00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 1: the gonna be like a school board going, guys, we 1030 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 1: really should work out, but so you don't walk in 1031 00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 1: it's like home Kenny Chesney anything like that. No, which 1032 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,640 Speaker 1: I don't at least not then. I haven't been back 1033 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,359 Speaker 1: really since I graduated, so maybe they changed that now. 1034 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,440 Speaker 1: But in your hometown, um Sneedville, Well, they put up 1035 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,600 Speaker 1: a Morgan Wallen sign like boyhood home Morgan Wallen, I'd 1036 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: say so. Probably. They said that they were already wanted 1037 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,400 Speaker 1: to do it, but they're afraid somebody still it, which 1038 00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 1: somebody are like more than my hometown. For example, I 1039 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,440 Speaker 1: took the cover art was you know, miss Sneedville sign, 1040 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 1: and someone just stole it, So I guess I'd say 1041 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,919 Speaker 1: it's probably a good good suspicion, But what could happen? Though? 1042 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 1: Eventually when you put it up, people will go go 1043 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,320 Speaker 1: to Sneedville to take a picture with the sign and 1044 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: support the local economy. No, that's yeah, that's already happened. 1045 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,480 Speaker 1: I went back home for um. I didn't know this, 1046 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: but someone just told me this other day that I 1047 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 1: was back home and seeing my my papa, and I 1048 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,439 Speaker 1: guess somebody found out that I was there, and people 1049 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: like were driving to Sneedville to trying to find me 1050 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,880 Speaker 1: and stuff. So that's a little different. But hopefully they 1051 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 1: stopped for a snack somewhere, and then that's true. Yeah, 1052 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 1: let me. I want to play something from the record 1053 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: as you as you get some water there.

Of these two 1138 00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 1: right here used to be in a band together, like 1139 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,359 Speaker 1: an active rock band, and we kind of just all 1140 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,120 Speaker 1: became friends and started a band together, and I don't know, 1141 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: we just we just said we're gonna move to Nashville 1142 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 1: and those guys just the band was called Godsmack, which 1143 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 1: is interesting. All right, Morgan's here because he put out 1144 00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:57,399 Speaker 1: a double album today. It is it is all over 1145 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 1: the place, man, every it's so many song I know, 1146 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 1: and I see them random ones pop up all over 1147 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,480 Speaker 1: the place, like just all different playlists, and I mean, 1148 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 1: and I guess that's the plan, like get as much 1149 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,399 Speaker 1: good stuff out to people as possible, right, yeah, man, 1150 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,719 Speaker 1: we you know, we felt like each song had something 1151 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,520 Speaker 1: unique to say. And there's a lot of different sounds 1152 00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 1: we had I think, you know, three main sounds that 1153 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,799 Speaker 1: we kind of try to use, you know, just spread out. 1154 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 1: But um, yeah, we we just felt like we had 1155 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff. These love songs, there's a lot. 1156 00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: There's there's some love. Yeah, that's mostly on side one. Yeah, 1157 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,879 Speaker 1: So like what's happening there? I think, just you know, life, 1158 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,760 Speaker 1: life experiences. It's nothing really, it's nothing really like present. 1159 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,919 Speaker 1: It's just most stuff that I've just drawn from things 1160 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,200 Speaker 1: that I've been through in the past. I gotta wonder too, 1161 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 1: like when you're going back and you go back to 1162 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,400 Speaker 1: play S and L and that's a big lie. That's 1163 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 1: a live show. I mean the L is live. Do 1164 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: you get nerves still? It's being as good as you are. 1165 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:50,440 Speaker 1: Do you still get nerves? And it's like here we go, 1166 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: click click click. Um. For some reason, I really didn't 1167 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,719 Speaker 1: for that. I don't know why. They were really accommodating 1168 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,840 Speaker 1: towards us. You know, they made us feel super comfortable, 1169 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 1: So I think that really had a lot to do 1170 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,920 Speaker 1: with it. You know, if everybody was real uptime, get it, 1171 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 1: get here, get here, it might have been different. But 1172 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 1: it was pretty relaxed and I felt pretty comfortable. The 1173 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 1: only thing that I was a little bit nervous is 1174 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,600 Speaker 1: about um after Like after I did the skit, I 1175 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,200 Speaker 1: had I don't know, less than three minutes to change 1176 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 1: clothes and then go seeing. So that was what I 1177 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 1: was a little nervous about that, But it was it 1178 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 1: was It was smooth. Did you guys as the band go, well, 1179 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,280 Speaker 1: if I screw up on this stage, this is like, well, 1180 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,440 Speaker 1: what's your name, Dominic? Did you go? Did you play? 1181 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 1: And did you go? Okay? When you're this is a 1182 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 1: big deal for you too, right, This is not just 1183 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,200 Speaker 1: it is about Morgan, but this is you guys, like 1184 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: you're the highest level. Are you going Dominic? If you 1185 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 1: screw this up? Like, are you nervous? I didn't think 1186 00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:47,680 Speaker 1: I would be, And then as soon as we got 1187 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: on stage, there's a little bit of like, oh this 1188 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: is this is for real, this is really happening. But 1189 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: I think it was so exciting to be there that 1190 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:57,680 Speaker 1: it just kind of was like, I don't know, any 1191 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: like exciting football game or something. You're like, I'm like 1192 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,280 Speaker 1: more excited than her. I'm nervous. I don't know when 1193 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:07,480 Speaker 1: I feel right now? What happens Morgan Dominic, for example, 1194 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 1: hits a bad note and a live show, do you 1195 00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,920 Speaker 1: look at him? Do you acknowledge that you saw it? 1196 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,959 Speaker 1: Or like what happens? Then? Yeah, well it's a little 1197 00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 1: I think it's a little more serious if it's like 1198 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,120 Speaker 1: on live TV. But if it's like at a show 1199 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 1: at a so far that's not happened, I don't think. 1200 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, the show, I'll just laugh. You know. I 1201 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 1: know he's extremely talented. It's we all miss I screw 1202 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:28,440 Speaker 1: up the words sometimes, you know, I do wrong things too, 1203 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: which leads me to my next question. Do you know 1204 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,520 Speaker 1: the words to all thirty of these songs, I feel 1205 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 1: like to think I because I did record them. But 1206 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 1: still that's a lot. Well, yeah, we're gonna do a show, 1207 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:42,160 Speaker 1: like a live stream thing at the Roman and we're 1208 00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 1: going we're rehearsing for that. And I was telling him 1209 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: last night, like, I think I might have to start 1210 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 1: practicing before rehearsal Amy, what do we like to ask Morgan? 1211 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,520 Speaker 1: Have you watched Ted? Laughs? So? No? Oh what not? 1212 00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 1: Sometimes when Morgan is talking, do you hear Ted? No, 1213 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 1: was the greatest TV show of twenty twenty. Okay, so 1214 00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: when you hear Ted talking, you hear me? Then? Okay, 1215 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: I guess. So he's such an inspiration and too. You know, 1216 00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,560 Speaker 1: I think you're still young. I mean you're twenty seven, 1217 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: but you're still young, and especially young in your career. 1218 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 1: But what would you say to other people coming up, 1219 00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 1: whether they're trying to have a musical career or any 1220 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,959 Speaker 1: profession they're seeking, Like did you see yourself being successful 1221 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,600 Speaker 1: or like is that did you believe in yourself wholeheartedly 1222 00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 1: or did you have people along the way encouraging you 1223 00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: or what would you tell people? Oh? Yeah, I mean 1224 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,040 Speaker 1: I think it helps to have both, but I definitely did. Um. 1225 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. For some reason, I never really had 1226 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: doubts and I don't. And you know, even like my 1227 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 1: first single was you know, not a failure but definitely 1228 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,480 Speaker 1: not a hit, and even then I don't. I don't 1229 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:53,720 Speaker 1: know why. I just never let bad thoughts come into 1230 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,280 Speaker 1: my mind. And I think that really that mindset really 1231 00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 1: affects your work ethic too, you know, because if you're 1232 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: if you're expecting to fail, you're probably not gonna give 1233 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,480 Speaker 1: your complete effort. I don't think I've never really thought 1234 01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,280 Speaker 1: about that much. But for some reason, I just never 1235 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,640 Speaker 1: let anything negative get in my head. I think that's 1236 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 1: a huge part of your success in fun. It's very 1237 01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: ted ted Lasso. I need to watch That's the best 1238 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 1: show as I think. I saw that. You put that on. 1239 01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 1: You put that on something. It's my number one favorite show. 1240 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 1: And I tattooed on my arm that's what I know.

You know.

In England. Yeah, 1248 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,600 Speaker 1: so he's not faking his way through it. Well, you 1249 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: have to watch it to find out.
