Speaker 1: we never know, we don't. I mean, I think Mike's
Speaker 1: mad at me? Well what I think Mike's madda being
Speaker 1: held it against me. That's why your one because I
Speaker 1: emailed in and asked Bobby if Mike Deal was a
Speaker 1: frog because he didn't go to the OSCAR because he
Speaker 1: has a movie podcast, and so Mike's like, oh, you
Speaker 1: want to sew me? Oh we never talked about on
Speaker 1: the show though, I know, but he sus sent a
Speaker 1: note going, I think Mike D's a fraud because he
Speaker 1: didn't go to the Oscars. And if you have a
Speaker 1: movie podcast, you should go to the Oscars. Did you
Speaker 1: go to the super Bowl? Store loser. I know there's
Speaker 1: too many supporting events to go to all the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: the big one. Now, I didn't go to that one, okay,
Speaker 1: uh but I'm just saying I think Mike dy saw
Speaker 1: that Amy with twelve. Of course he saw it. Mike.
Speaker 1: I didn't let you that work on the right right
Speaker 1: now what I'm saying. So he held it against me? Mike,
Speaker 1: did you hold that against me? Liar Amy? Twelve point five? Abby? Yes?
Speaker 1: Oh no, twelve point okay seven. It's the best bits
Speaker 1: of the week with Morgan. Number two. We've had a
Speaker 1: lot of fun listener calls this week, and one of
Speaker 1: them was a listener wanting to pay Lunchbox to be
Speaker 1: at her wedding because she loves when he wins a game,
Speaker 1: and he does all I do is win, win, win,
Speaker 1: no matter what that part. It gets her really hype.
Speaker 1: So she wanted to be hype at her wedding and
Speaker 1: have Lunchbox be there. Well, in true Lunchbox fashion, he
Speaker 1: had a lot of requests in order to be at
Speaker 1: this wedding. Number six Hannah and Saint Louis, who's on
Speaker 1: the phone, wants to offer lunchbox of money. Actually, Hannah,
Speaker 1: are you there? I am, good morning, studio. What would
Speaker 1: you like to say? Um? I think what I'm about
Speaker 1: to say is going to make everyone in that studio
Speaker 1: like super roll their eyes. So before I hate it, um,
Speaker 1: I just want to say how much I honestly like listen,
Speaker 1: I loved your guys show. Um. I work a really
Speaker 1: tough job with kids. Every day. I worked two jobs actually,
Speaker 1: and as honestly just puts me in such a good
Speaker 1: mood every day. Thanks for that. Appreciate that, um, lunch box.
Speaker 1: My one of my favorite parts of the show is
Speaker 1: when you're saying all I do is win, like gets
Speaker 1: me higher the day. Love it, um, And I would
Speaker 1: really love if you sang it Harrioke style at my
Speaker 1: wedding because I just got engaged. Oh heck yeah, see
Speaker 1: look at this guy's money making opportunities. Where do you live?
Speaker 1: I live in Saint Louis. I was not that far.
Speaker 1: I don't know how far that is, but plane ride
Speaker 1: yeah yeah? So what kind of questions do you have
Speaker 1: for her lunch box? How much were we talking? I
Speaker 1: could definitely like by you out pay your accommodations. I
Speaker 1: am a teacher, so I don't know how much I
Speaker 1: could actually pay you to sing um, but I'm whatever
Speaker 1: you can, like, look, what do you think I mean?
Speaker 1: I was probably thinking about ten thousand aside from aside
Speaker 1: from experience with plus expenses to sing. All I do
Speaker 1: is when one time I can see it at the
Speaker 1: wedding and the reception, but he doesn't even sing the song.
Speaker 1: He just does that long and he didn't take the
Speaker 1: line right, and I stay there and he goes, and
Speaker 1: I stayed there when it goes, and I say, yeah,
Speaker 1: right right. Uh so, Hannah, he says ten thousand. Do
Speaker 1: you want to counter that it's a five hour drive. Lunchbox?
Speaker 1: I have to offer is gonna make lunch box? Come? What?
Speaker 1: And I'm the one that gets to cut the cake?
Speaker 1: But counter at though you can say no lunch box,
Speaker 1: I'll pay for your expenses plus five hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: let's see where we let's see where we land five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars and you can cut the cake? What let
Speaker 1: him cut the cake? Really? And I get to feed
Speaker 1: you the first piece of cake? Okay, okay? Do you
Speaker 1: want to marry or two? And I get to do
Speaker 1: you know what that night. No, just not like the
Speaker 1: thirteen hundreds where the king gets to have take it early.
Speaker 1: How much would you do it for? Bottom line? Um
Speaker 1: In it looks like a six hour drive. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a long way, man, it has to be at least
Speaker 1: two thousand. But you can drive and then charge you
Speaker 1: know more, because she's not gonna pay for flight anymore.
Speaker 1: That's true. Godot, if I'm driving, it's gonna be three k.
Speaker 1: So three k plus cut the cake and feed or
Speaker 1: the cake and hotel and hotel gel. So this is
Speaker 1: what he wants, Hannah, our kids allowed at the wedding.
Speaker 1: Oh good, my kids are get a free meal out
Speaker 1: of it too. Okay, So here's what he wants. He
Speaker 1: wants to bring his kids and have a free meal.
Speaker 1: He wants three thousand dollars a hotel. He wants to
Speaker 1: cut the cake and then feed you the cake. Also,
Speaker 1: I want tickets to the top of the arch. I
Speaker 1: want to take my kids up. Okay. Does it matter
Speaker 1: if you what order you feed with the cake? In No,
Speaker 1: you will go after the husband. Oh no, no before
Speaker 1: the husband. Okay, So you want to feed the first
Speaker 1: piece of first piece and I'll beat your husband a
Speaker 1: piece the cake. So you want to do both? Yeah? Okay, hey,
Speaker 1: now you've heard what proble my client has here. He's
Speaker 1: really dropped his price a lot, dropped his seventy percent.
Speaker 1: How does that sound on sale? Now you have thirty
Speaker 1: seconds to make up your mind. All right, here we go.
Speaker 1: Let's put it on the clock for thirty seconds. Thirty
Speaker 1: thirty seconds to think about this. Three thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: hotel room. You got to feed all of his kids.
Speaker 1: He wants to feed you the first piece of cake.

Speaker 1: would take all of that, but I cannot afford four
Speaker 1: thousand dollars as a teacher, So I'm sorry you know
Speaker 1: what a lot of teachers are doing nowadays, only fans,

Speaker 1: about to say, instead of asking for school supplies for
Speaker 1: your kids. Well you can do that too, clear the list, Yeah,
Speaker 1: unless it is actually money exactly. Okay. Well, Hannah, it
Speaker 1: looks like we don't have a deal now, but it's
Speaker 1: it's an open ended negotiation. Yeah, she has still twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. Well, your calendar books out quick, it does.
Speaker 1: I am pretty busy. So Hannah, if you figure anything
Speaker 1: else out, maybe talk to your fiance. Maybe he has
Speaker 1: some extra cash laying around that he's been hiding from you. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: how does he feel about this? Um? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want to carry her across the threshold. No, all right, Hannah,
Speaker 1: thank you for the call. Those are your terms? Yeah,
Speaker 1: are you sticking to them? Are you willing to come down?
Speaker 1: I mean we can negotiate. I mean I was gonna say,

Speaker 1: shared yet. So Easton Corban came on the show this
Speaker 1: week and performed several of his hit songs and talked
Speaker 1: about new mu music and what's been going on in
Speaker 1: his life, and Bobby had mentioned that somebody shared that
Speaker 1: they saw him at the gym and he was looking
Speaker 1: real good. And I'm just telling y'all it was me
Speaker 1: because we frequent the same gym and he has been
Speaker 1: working really hard and Eastern Corbyn looks great. So confession
Speaker 1: time is now done. You now know what's me. But no,
Speaker 1: I just love his music and I've listened to Easton
Speaker 1: Corbyn from the very beginning and it was fun to
Speaker 1: see him. I just, you know, regular old gym and
Speaker 1: Nashville just having a good day. If he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to ever continue his career in country music, then I'm
Speaker 1: telling y'all he has a career as like a professional
Speaker 1: adult athlete whatever that looks like now if he wants
Speaker 1: to do like CrossFit and all that, because he's working
Speaker 1: hard at the gym. Number five. It's been a while,
Speaker 1: so we've seen your buddy. Yeah man, it's been a
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, good to see you again. YouTube man
Speaker 1: was looking here is some old show notes and you
Speaker 1: were one of our first guests ever when we started
Speaker 1: here and we've been here now ten years. We just

Speaker 1: these guys are crazy. Was not not really, I mean
Speaker 1: I knew it was a new show, you know, at all,
Speaker 1: but man, you know, I do remember over the years
Speaker 1: doing Settle shows, you know, with you guys. And then
Speaker 1: he was like, these guys are crazy. So he learned
Speaker 1: himself that's I'm probably crazy too. So trust I won't

Speaker 1: song called Marry That Girl. You're one of the writers
Speaker 1: of the song. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like what you walk in.
Speaker 1: I always like to know kind of how the idea
Speaker 1: came about or if somebody showed up with the idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was me, Adam Craig Way Kirby and Shane Minor.
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of those writing session as
Speaker 1: you know, they all start for about the first hours
Speaker 1: a big BS session. Hey, chewing the fat, Like you
Speaker 1: talked about catching up and Adam started talking about and
Speaker 1: I don't know how we got on this, but he
Speaker 1: started talking about how he met his wife and He's like, Man,
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw her, I knew I was
Speaker 1: gonna marry that girl. And I kind of looked at
Speaker 1: some of the other guys. I was like, man, that
Speaker 1: might be the title for the day. So I'm glad
Speaker 1: we went down that road. So how long it take
Speaker 1: you to write this one? I probably two or three hours,
Speaker 1: not too long, so okay, So like he came pretty quick.
Speaker 1: You know, nine am to three pm be a little
Speaker 1: standard writing session. You know, you do it, you maybe record. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's pretty quick. Kind of fell out of you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that's only after an hour of chewing the fat.
Speaker 1: So this one came even faster than that. So here's
Speaker 1: a Clipper Easton's new song called marry that girl. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna change your name. But she don't know men, Ye

Speaker 1: small cattle farm in North Florida my grandparents. And did
Speaker 1: you have to do like chores before school? Not before school?
Speaker 1: Because that's always a story like I couldn't even go
Speaker 1: to school until I know. My grandpa just took care
Speaker 1: of that. But after after it was when the chores
Speaker 1: began from me. What what were the life lessons you
Speaker 1: learned from living on a farm? Man? You learn, like
Speaker 1: you just learn about life in general. You know death,
Speaker 1: you know being born, and you know through the cows
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you know, just uh, through all the
Speaker 1: hard work. Then you know, and usually it it, you know,
Speaker 1: lands on you. You know it's up to you get
Speaker 1: it done. You know, well, ain't that right? You guys
Speaker 1: always counting on me. I'm like, won't you counting yourself?
Speaker 1: It's constantly the thing that Bobby do it for me.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, if you do it for yourself, go

Speaker 1: Here's Easton Corbin and Lauren, he's a guitar player than
Speaker 1: you can. I ask you a question about your name, Lauren. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I got picked on a lot for my name
Speaker 1: and Bobby because there were bobby girls. There's Bobby boys,
Speaker 1: and I was on like fifty percent girl. You're a
Speaker 1: big dudes. I want to be as completely, but it
Speaker 1: would be cool. We cool, right, everybody was cool? Yeah? Cool.
Speaker 1: I don't know what dude named Lauren. Uh, there aren't many.
Speaker 1: I've only meant a few in my life. But uh,

Speaker 1: e N. So that makes me feel better. Yeah, Lauren? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And easton your name? Where does that come from? Man?

Speaker 1: Arkansas window and maybe yeah, Eastern east Eastern. Okay, well
Speaker 1: go you go with that one. So you put out
Speaker 1: a record in January, But I was trying to look
Speaker 1: at the some of the time. It's five years in between, right,
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Yeah. I put out a few
Speaker 1: EPs and things since then. Yeah, but full length record, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Why what what was the deal there? Man?
Speaker 1: Just uh, you know, I separated with Mercury and then
Speaker 1: went about three years doing my own thing and just
Speaker 1: writing a bunch and taking my time and just kind
Speaker 1: of you know, looking for that right label home and
Speaker 1: and finally found it with Benny Brown and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know Stone Country Records over there, and I had
Speaker 1: a ton of songs that I had just stalkpiled over
Speaker 1: the three year period of just writing. And honestly, man,
Speaker 1: it was a really good period because you know, they
Speaker 1: say you have your your whole life to write your
Speaker 1: first record, and that three year period was like having
Speaker 1: my whole life again to write all record and just
Speaker 1: take my time and you know, write songs I love.
Speaker 1: How old are you when you learn to play guitar?
Speaker 1: I think it was a thirteen? And why guitar? Who
Speaker 1: was like here this put this in your hands into guitar? Man?
Speaker 1: I just always loved the guitar. And I came across
Speaker 1: the sky down home. His name was Peewee Milton, and
Speaker 1: he was from Greenville, South Carolina, and retired in a
Speaker 1: little place called steene Hatchey, Florida that you've never heard of.
Speaker 1: And there was a local music store about I don't know,
Speaker 1: ten fifteen miles from They're called Dixie Music, and they
Speaker 1: just happened to be, you know, offering guitar lessons over there,
Speaker 1: and my dad took me over and away I went,
Speaker 1: Did you come? Did you practice so much that you
Speaker 1: got pretty good? Like we're that passionate about it? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. Literally my routine every day would be come
Speaker 1: home from school, I practice about three or four hours
Speaker 1: in my room, and then it's time to go feed
Speaker 1: up and do the farm stuff. Ah, the chores. Always
Speaker 1: back to the chores. Okay, Easton Corbin's here got a

Speaker 1: and you know, I say, those last three years to
Speaker 1: really get back to my roots and you know, just
Speaker 1: write music that I love and get back to what

Speaker 1: don't know if you're going to have success or not yet.
Speaker 1: You hope too, but you know, being new, you just
Speaker 1: don't know. And once you do have success, it's almost like, Okay,

Speaker 1: cooks that want to get in the itching and put
Speaker 1: their spin on it, and it's like, well that works,
Speaker 1: are changing it? Yeah, I hate a good cook, you know,
Speaker 1: right right, but you know what I'm saying. They try to,
Speaker 1: you know, they want to change it when it's working,
Speaker 1: and uh, this has allowed me to really get back
Speaker 1: and you know, do what I do. And that's what
Speaker 1: I love about Benny. You know he loves country music too,
Speaker 1: and we're got on the same page and it just worked.

Speaker 1: of the week with Morgan. Number two. Another listener called in.
Speaker 1: This is not the same one that wants lunchbox at
Speaker 1: her wedding. This is a listener who actually wants to
Speaker 1: get a show tattooed. She wants all of the show
Speaker 1: to sign a piece of paper, and she wants to
Speaker 1: get those signatures tattooed on her because she already has bobbies.
Speaker 1: He signed a Stanley the Dog book and she took
Speaker 1: that signature and got it tattooed. Now she wants the
Speaker 1: rest of the show tattooed. And we basically all had
Speaker 1: to say yes to allowing this to happen, and if
Speaker 1: one person said no, then we wouldn't do it. But
Speaker 1: now you can find out right here if we all
Speaker 1: allowed it to happen, or if somebody was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not letting this be the thing that happens. Number four,
Speaker 1: If you went in to see a doctor any had
Speaker 1: a full sleeve of tattoos, how'd you feel about that? Fine? Now,
Speaker 1: I mean back in the day, who knows, but tattoos
Speaker 1: are so normal now it's not just bikers, or in
Speaker 1: bikers could be doctors. There's like like, it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: just because they're a biker with tattoos, they're not intelligent.
Speaker 1: They can't save someone's life. Had a buddy who said,
Speaker 1: I went in to see a doctor, one of those
Speaker 1: general clinics who's touring, and he said, hit a full
Speaker 1: sleeve of tattoos. That's cool, And I said, how did
Speaker 1: that make you feel? He goes, you know, I didn't
Speaker 1: think about it until I left, and then I was like, dang,
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it, And so I had
Speaker 1: this article about tattoos that they're more acceptable in the
Speaker 1: workplace nowadays. And these are the industries are accepted, fashion design, beauty,
Speaker 1: hair dressing, restaurants, bars, and police force the professions that
Speaker 1: don't necessarily like tattoos. Where would you go and you'd
Speaker 1: feel weird with they had a tattoo lawyer the bank,
Speaker 1: but the bank judge tear drops coming down to the side.
Speaker 1: That'd be crazy. Well, I would feel like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: judge knows both sides. Resident like he killed somebuddy and
Speaker 1: also puts people away from killing. Can you imagine the
Speaker 1: president with tattoos, with the net tattoos, that'd be crazy.
Speaker 1: Military politics, law and they have medicine, Wait, militaries on
Speaker 1: their professions that don't like tattoo. I know that weird
Speaker 1: so many, especially the legit ones. So military that's not legit. No, no,
Speaker 1: every military is legit. But I listen, Yeah, I began here, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know my heart with the military, and I'm just
Speaker 1: saying special forces. Yeah, let's say that level. They all
Speaker 1: have tattoos. Let's talk to Melissa about tattoos. She's on
Speaker 1: right now. Melissa and Indiana what's going on with you?
Speaker 1: I was calling to ask um everybody on the show
Speaker 1: if I could had their autograph so I can get
Speaker 1: it tattooed on me because I already have bobbies tattoos. Bobby,
Speaker 1: you can have tattoos. Yeah. And I never like signing
Speaker 1: anyone in them getting a tattooed. I just feel like
Speaker 1: you don't want that. You're in five years You're gonna
Speaker 1: be like, who is this again? Where does she have you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know where did I sign you? Um? You
Speaker 1: did not sign me? You signed my book for Stanley
Speaker 1: and then you got that tattooed on you. Yes, I did,
Speaker 1: and I got uh from your teacher's right down my arm.
Speaker 1: There's no straight line to success I feel back. That's
Speaker 1: high those books really quickly. Oh boy, so she didn't
Speaker 1: even get a good version. Well where did she get it?
Speaker 1: Where did you get it? Cheek? Is it on? It's
Speaker 1: not on about cheek, but it's on my forearm. How
Speaker 1: big it's the wordy. There's no straight line to successes
Speaker 1: all the way down my arm, on the on the
Speaker 1: back of my arm to where if I'm walking people
Speaker 1: can see it. But your autograph is probably about answer too.
Speaker 1: Are you sure you want to put the whole show
Speaker 1: on there? Yes? I do. Where do you want to
Speaker 1: ask you? Guys? Fired? Yeah, somebody gets fired leaves or like,
Speaker 1: that's okay, so just get the new person on there.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that Amy? How many does she?
Speaker 1: How many? Who do you want? Because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people here? Yeah, who do you want? I would
Speaker 1: like say, um Morgan's, um Abbie's Eddie. Of course I
Speaker 1: thought four of the might be and the okay, so
Speaker 1: this is seven more tattoos, she said, Nora on her
Speaker 1: yet Oh right, okay, but you want somebody that you forgot?
Speaker 1: H like I want you to get them tattooed on you.
Speaker 1: They would come to mind quickly. I did forget him.
Speaker 1: I'm just so nervous talking to you because I've been
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand. Let me let me have a
Speaker 1: group meeting here for one second. Melssa, guys, do you
Speaker 1: want to sign something that send it to her and
Speaker 1: then whatever she does for her body, it's up to her.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do we all got to be unanimous
Speaker 1: on this, because we can't just have like an Amy
Speaker 1: and a Morgan tattoo and then nothing else. It's not
Speaker 1: they're gonna be all. You can blackball it if you want,
Speaker 1: or like when the pope is vote, you know, if
Speaker 1: there's one Vito. Yeah, you guys thought about charging her? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: why would we charge her phones? How does it feel like?
Speaker 1: I don't like when people do it because I know
Speaker 1: I did a paper, but I'm not worth the of
Speaker 1: s one tattoo in there. That's why I don't like it.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like they should do my name. They
Speaker 1: should do somebody that actually makes a difference. You know,
Speaker 1: I want to know where she's gonna put me. Probably
Speaker 1: around the forearm, right, it's an all forearm Melissa, Yes, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: if one person says no, we're gonna go no. And
Speaker 1: also I didn't know she was doing it, right Amy,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to keep her from what she wants. Okay, sure,
Speaker 1: lunchbox man, I need a different spot, like I need
Speaker 1: my own area, Like I don't want to be grouped
Speaker 1: with everybody else, like I'm an individual. Okay, Melissa, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I could put him where. Just say that and he'll agree.
Speaker 1: He'll never see it. Eddie, Yeah, I'm in Morgan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fine, with me. Mike. Yeah, okay, Abby's Ray or Scuba,
Speaker 1: anyone have a no, I'll sign you up. Okay, Melissa,
Speaker 1: So you're gonna you want us to well, you already
Speaker 1: have mine. Do you want them to all sign issue
Speaker 1: to paper and us to mail it to you. Yes,
Speaker 1: that would be awesome. Okay. Is it best if we
Speaker 1: do it in a sharp Melissa? Yeah, that would be great. Okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what the tattoo artist needs. Anyway, you
Speaker 1: want to come here and get it done live on
Speaker 1: the student. I mean we could get her tatted right here.
Speaker 1: I don't think that that is safe. I don't think
Speaker 1: that allow us to do that here. Brandley Gilbert travels
Speaker 1: with his tattoo guy. Yeah, but Branley Gilbert doesn't have
Speaker 1: a company over them for a bunch of rules from
Speaker 1: HR Yeah, Brandley Gilbert less. Okay, we're gonna do this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you on hold and we'll have everybody
Speaker 1: send you a signature their autograph. Okay, Okay, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. You're welcome. It's the best Bits of the
Speaker 1: Week with Morgan number two. This may be one of
Speaker 1: my favorite parenting moves that we've heard on the show.
Speaker 1: Yet am we share that she took the controllers for
Speaker 1: all the electronics in her house when she left for
Speaker 1: work because apparently her kids have not been getting ready
Speaker 1: for school as they should be, and they've been playing
Speaker 1: games and not being prepared, and so she had had
Speaker 1: enough and that's what she did. And I think it's
Speaker 1: pretty clever because sometimes you just need a little shove
Speaker 1: in the right direction. And this was harmless. The controllers
Speaker 1: were gone, you know, no harm, no foul. I thought
Speaker 1: it was great. So you can hear the whole story
Speaker 1: why we did it and what the rest of the
Speaker 1: show members also think of her savage parent move number three.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is, as they would say, savage parenting
Speaker 1: by Amy. Oh, it's hilarious. But also my wife could
Speaker 1: do this to me and I would be like, dang,
Speaker 1: that sucks. So tell them what you did today. Well,
Speaker 1: so I had to gather all the remotes because I
Speaker 1: have heard when I because I'm already at work. When
Speaker 1: you mean controllers, Yeah, it's called a controller, not a remote. Oh,
Speaker 1: I took the remote too, So he took TV remotes
Speaker 1: and the controller. Yeah stuff, whatever controls the PS four,
Speaker 1: whatever controls the TV and the little place the game
Speaker 1: like a game boy, but the what is that called PlayStation? No, oh,
Speaker 1: it's called a you've got it for him? Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it whatever that is. Yes, you actually bought
Speaker 1: him all these things. But at the time, he was
Speaker 1: a great idea. And Okay, so I hear that getting
Speaker 1: ready for work is like our school has been a challenge,
Speaker 1: Like he's getting on the game. And so I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: well I'm gonna nip this in the bud. So when
Speaker 1: I left for work, I gathered everything. So, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: she came to work with his controllers, the TV remotes,
Speaker 1: she's got it all here, you're all in the front
Speaker 1: seat of my car. Everything, And I mean, and I
Speaker 1: did it. It was sort of like, uh, I've just
Speaker 1: I just was so frustrated when I heard that, because
Speaker 1: we've had so many talks of like, hey, dude, you
Speaker 1: have to turn your lights off in your room, you
Speaker 1: have to get ready for school, you have to make
Speaker 1: your lunch. There's all these things on a checklist that
Speaker 1: must be done before we even turn anything on. Hilarious. So,
Speaker 1: but I would hate it if it were me because
Speaker 1: that that could be used against me right now too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could. She could totally take away your controllers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she would just take the whole system. Though, what if
Speaker 1: she went out of town and took her controllers with you,
Speaker 1: I go buy new ones? Well, I would go immediately
Speaker 1: by new ones. And then then what I would do
Speaker 1: is I would hide and get other new ones and
Speaker 1: hide them in the house so when she did at
Speaker 1: the next time, I'd have a backout. That's so smart. Yeah,
Speaker 1: funny you say that, because I've thought about the dramatic
Speaker 1: unplugging like this. He wasn't present for it. Let even
Speaker 1: take the cable, which is even harder to replace this
Speaker 1: with the controller. Let's go the cable. I shouldn't tell
Speaker 1: you this. No, I've already I have enough way tools
Speaker 1: in my toolbox to calm down. So I'm not going
Speaker 1: to do that because I don't want to cause therapy
Speaker 1: later in life. Of like, no, one time different. You
Speaker 1: just took every controller remote from that in front of
Speaker 1: his face. But no, no, not from his face either.
Speaker 1: You just pulled that cable out the plugs from the
Speaker 1: machine from the box to the plug, and then it's like,
Speaker 1: I have the cable, so well, this is where I'm
Speaker 1: sharing with you that there's been times in the moment
Speaker 1: where I've been in it's been a thing and I'm
Speaker 1: about to walk over and just unplug everything. And no, no,
Speaker 1: I don't thought about it, slam it, pick it up
Speaker 1: and slamming. Nope, thought about that. Get a fake one
Speaker 1: that's broken, that's not cheap, for cheap and it might
Speaker 1: have one. You walk in, you're like, I am tied,
Speaker 1: and you take that fake one. You smash it and
Speaker 1: then you kick in it and then you pee on it,
Speaker 1: and you're like, and if you want, these are the
Speaker 1: things they will remember, and it's not. That's not the healthier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember that. That's cool, and I remember that in
Speaker 1: a good way. Like I ain't ever messing with her again.
Speaker 1: She's peat on my system now, I calmly say, hey,
Speaker 1: we can play video games, but we turn off our
Speaker 1: lights before. So did they know you took everything? Yea?
Speaker 1: Or are they just finding out like right now listening,
Speaker 1: which I don't think they are. But I mean, no
Speaker 1: a good parent, bad parent, any amazing parent. I love it,
Speaker 1: No utch great parents. I think it's hilarious. I think
Speaker 1: it's hilarious too. I don't like it because I could
Speaker 1: have an in meeting right, correct, he's probably walking all
Speaker 1: around the health right now, he's probably flipping the couch
Speaker 1: cushion more time though. Right now he's like scratching himself, yes, withdrawals,
Speaker 1: that's going through it. Okay, good parent, good parent, good parents, Amy,
Speaker 1: you're officially a good parent. Good job. Like the good
Speaker 1: parent of the day. It's the best bits of the
Speaker 1: week with Morgan. Number two, we had a listener named
Speaker 1: Elvis who called into the show and shared that he
Speaker 1: and his wife would be celebrating their anniversary coming up
Speaker 1: in Vegas and they really wanted to go to the
Speaker 1: Adele Show, but the tickets were astronomically high, like in
Speaker 1: the thousands of dollars high. But Elvis really wanted to
Speaker 1: celebrate his wife in a big way. Well, Luke, Brian's
Speaker 1: wife Caroline heard the segment and texted Luke, and Luke
Speaker 1: texted Bobby and this whole thing happened so that Elvis
Speaker 1: could surprise his wife with Adele tickets. And it's one
Speaker 1: of my favorite moments that we've had in recent months.
Speaker 1: And I just want to share this with you because
Speaker 1: it's very heartwarming and just cool all the way around.
Speaker 1: Number two, you guys. Remember Elvis from Louisiana. He called
Speaker 1: like he wants to take his wife to Adele. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: And then we found out tickets for not resell tickets
Speaker 1: like regular tickets to Adele in Las Vegas. We're three
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Great, here's a club of that call from
Speaker 1: last week last year. Mean wife saved of money to
Speaker 1: go to Vegas for a twenty year anniversary this year,
Speaker 1: and so she texted me a couple of days ago
Speaker 1: and she was like, hey, Adele is going to be
Speaker 1: playing in Vegas. Well I go look for the tickets
Speaker 1: and these tickets are like fifteen hundred bucks of peace.
Speaker 1: And so I'm thinking to myself, like, how do I
Speaker 1: get these tickets without having to go get a second
Speaker 1: job on the weekend just to afford to get a
Speaker 1: ticket for her to go see Adail. I was blown
Speaker 1: away because then we got on we were like, surely
Speaker 1: there's tickets cheaper than that, and some are like ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and for two tickets it was like three grand.
Speaker 1: That's not resell. So I do want to put them
Speaker 1: on now. I just want to see what's up what
Speaker 1: he decided to do, because we were like, well, don't
Speaker 1: tell her you wanted to do that and not be
Speaker 1: able to do that. If she doesn't expect it, don't say,
Speaker 1: just go to Vegas and have a good time, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Elvis? Yes, are you guys still
Speaker 1: going to Vega? Yes? Sir? Now what did you tell
Speaker 1: your wife? Did you hear your you on the show?
Speaker 1: She didn't? Okay, So what's what's the plan as of now?
Speaker 1: As of now, we're just going to Vegas? Um uh initially,
Speaker 1: you know, to just see the shows and checking the
Speaker 1: sights and stuff like that. Have you found any cheaper
Speaker 1: tickets at all? No, sir, haven't. What are the cheapest
Speaker 1: adele tickets you can find? The cheapest tickets I could
Speaker 1: find was like fourteen hundred bucks a piece. That crazy,
Speaker 1: which you, by the way, they're so first of all,
Speaker 1: that's just that's so wild. They'd be that high, but
Speaker 1: the theaters aren't that big, right, So usually if you go,
Speaker 1: it's like two hundred bucks and you're like, dang, this
Speaker 1: is high. But then you get in there and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of people here. It makes sense
Speaker 1: why it's so high, because it's such a close show.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Adele's like that too, but I hain't no
Speaker 1: way I'm paying fifteen fourteendred bucks for that. So, Elvis,
Speaker 1: when do you guys leave to go? We leave Friday morning?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so this is what happened. So that airs
Speaker 1: on the show last week last week, and I get
Speaker 1: a text after I get off the air from Luke Brian.
Speaker 1: He's like, hey man, so what's up. He says, Caroline
Speaker 1: just came and got me and she wants to help
Speaker 1: get that guy out. And I'm like, what do you
Speaker 1: mean she says? He says she wants to buy him
Speaker 1: tickets to go to Adele. What way? So this is
Speaker 1: so Caroline Brian, that's so sweet. Caroline Brian our friend.
Speaker 1: She's also guest hosted here. Um, you know, she does
Speaker 1: so much for animals and people also look Brian's wife.
Speaker 1: She wants to pay for the tickets so you can
Speaker 1: go to this Adele show. Elvis. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to say. Oh my god, yeah I
Speaker 1: can't either, but it's true. And so I'm going, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm gonna somehow hooked this up so somebody
Speaker 1: can get in touch with you. But all I know
Speaker 1: is that Caroline Brian reached out to me and was like,
Speaker 1: I would love to pay for his tickets for nothing,
Speaker 1: just to do it. So that's a situation. I'd like
Speaker 1: to say we're sending elis, but we're not. But Caroline
Speaker 1: and Luke are obviously, we were just like the condiment
Speaker 1: to get there. But this is cool because like she's
Speaker 1: such a big a deal fan, and like I've never
Speaker 1: got the chance to, you know, take her to go
Speaker 1: see your deal. I think you meant Caroline, you mean
Speaker 1: your wife. Yeah, okay, so you're gonna go. I'm going
Speaker 1: to make sure somehow we get this. I'll just give
Speaker 1: you Luke' cell phone number. I'm just getting on that. Whoa,
Speaker 1: I just like that. But that's the deal, Okay, Elvis, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Man. I can't believe this is happening. It's
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie to you. It's super
Speaker 1: nice with them. Oh yeah, no, I mean I'm just
Speaker 1: picturing it this weekend. I mean, this is going to
Speaker 1: be such a special thing. I would bet if Luke's playing.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if Luke's Residency's happening this weekend too,
Speaker 1: and I'm just saying stuff now. But I'm sure if
Speaker 1: Luke's planning too, you could probably go to that show too,
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure if he is. But that's what's up.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go see a Dell courtesy of the Brian's
Speaker 1: Luke and Caroline, and we'll get it all set up
Speaker 1: for you, buddy. But I just wanted you to know. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is amazing, man, I appreciate it. Yeah. Man, my
Speaker 1: wife was wanting to go to the Dell too, but
Speaker 1: tickets were so expensive. Caroline, you're listening. It's me they're
Speaker 1: not here right now. Hey, when you go there, you
Speaker 1: gotta tell everyone right like, I was gonna be, like,
Speaker 1: you know, bove me these tickets, Luke and Caroline. How
Speaker 1: you gonna say, Luke, Bryan, I'd say Caroline and Luke. Okay,
Speaker 1: only text me because he's like, Caroline just said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I need to do this. That's true. It is a
Speaker 1: really sweet, special, cool, amazing story that you're gonna have
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. We'll get it all
Speaker 1: figured out, Elvis. Thank you for listening. Bud. We'll uh,
Speaker 1: we'll reach out to you after the show or something. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate it all right, see you buddy,
Speaker 1: It's cool, story crazy. Let's wait. Everybody goes, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: He goes, that's crazy. It is crazy. You're right, I
Speaker 1: mean that's crazy. I mean it's incredible when you think
Speaker 1: about it. Are you upset? You mat Yeah, I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: So all I need to do is get on here
Speaker 1: and say I want to take my wife somewhere, and
Speaker 1: some country artist's wife will hear it and want to
Speaker 1: call in and pay for It's not all you have
Speaker 1: to do. No, Like, how does that work? Like why
Speaker 1: why that story? Like why when I talk about things
Speaker 1: they don't call in. We're all affected by different things.
Speaker 1: That's crazy to me. We should play a Luke song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, now we're even right, and then check out
Speaker 1: Caroline's Breath's barn her what her what Breath's bar breast
Speaker 1: barn no part of her nonprofit and so you can
Speaker 1: check that out and do that. So we play Luke song,
Speaker 1: support her num profitt. There we go. Thank you. It's
Speaker 1: the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: I hate to have this one at the number one spot,
Speaker 1: but every time someone on the show shares some really
Speaker 1: big personal news. It's always one that you guys really
Speaker 1: engage with and talk about, and I just always want
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that, and especially being that this was really
Speaker 1: big news for somebody, so coming in at our number
Speaker 1: one spot this week, Amy shared some personal news about
Speaker 1: her marriage and we love her so much here. We're
Speaker 1: really proud of her for being vulnerable and open up
Speaker 1: to share this. And so I'm just gonna leave this
Speaker 1: right here and you guys can hear the latest Number one.
Speaker 1: You know, we live a lot of our lives here
Speaker 1: on the air with you guys, sometimes alongside you. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we share stuff so you know, you'll get to know
Speaker 1: us better. Sometimes we share stuff because it relates and
Speaker 1: we think we can help you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: different reasons. We've been doing this for a long time.
Speaker 1: I've been doing this since dang seventeen, eighteen years old,
Speaker 1: so I've been doing it for a long time. For
Speaker 1: hold am I forty two? Yeah, so we did. We
Speaker 1: try to share a lot with you for different reasons,
Speaker 1: and so that's we're going to do here. And I
Speaker 1: would just rip the band aid off and just go
Speaker 1: right at it, That's all I would do. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: so we share a lot of our lives, and I
Speaker 1: know listeners have walked alongside so much that we've been
Speaker 1: through both of my parents fasciningway, the adoption of children.
Speaker 1: You know, the first year of the show, back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and six, my first year on the show,
Speaker 1: I got married. And you know, I've been walking through
Speaker 1: something for the last couple of years that it's not
Speaker 1: a secret, but it's also something that we've kept pretty
Speaker 1: private so that we could heal as a family and
Speaker 1: take care of everyone involved. And so yeah, talking about
Speaker 1: it right now isn't easy, but it feels right, like
Speaker 1: this is the right time. And Ben and I, that's
Speaker 1: my husband. I don't talk about him much. He's always
Speaker 1: been a very private person. In fact, when I joined
Speaker 1: the show, he was in the Air Force and we
Speaker 1: called an Air Force guy because he didn't want his name,
Speaker 1: we did on the radio. Yeah, when we first started dating,
Speaker 1: you were like, I should have picked a different branch though,
Speaker 1: to not be so dialed on that one. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't. Yeah. Yeah. So Ben and I are
Speaker 1: getting a divorce, and this is something that was not
Speaker 1: made lightly at all whatsoever. In fact, it's like I said,
Speaker 1: it's been the last couple of years that we've spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time just working towards what is most
Speaker 1: loving for everybody involved and really most true to the
Speaker 1: people that we've become. And I know from my childhood
Speaker 1: and now as an adult, how divorce is painful, stressful,
Speaker 1: it's emotional, and so really the well being of our
Speaker 1: kids and co parenting and learning how to co parent
Speaker 1: in a way to show up as the best parents
Speaker 1: possible for our kids has been the top priority through
Speaker 1: all of this, and so I think that's what we've
Speaker 1: been working through. And I'm honestly very I'm very proud
Speaker 1: of how we've as a family navigated this whole thing.
Speaker 1: And I guess it's just it's hard to, you know,
Speaker 1: say it again. It's not a secret to our people,
Speaker 1: but just now putting it out there, just so I
Speaker 1: can show up authentically as myself in this new chapter
Speaker 1: of my life. And nobody wants something like this to happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I never thought it would happen to me,
Speaker 1: and my younger self would have never allowed it, you know. Well,
Speaker 1: thinking back to two thousand and six, my first few
Speaker 1: years on the radio and marriage I remember so many
Speaker 1: topics would come up, and I remember always saying divorce
Speaker 1: is not an option, and listeners would even call in
Speaker 1: and they'd probably they had experienced more life than me.
Speaker 1: But again, I came from a divorced home. But I
Speaker 1: think that's why I was. I held so tightly to
Speaker 1: that and ended up in a very legalistic environment for
Speaker 1: a long time. And I think I just that was
Speaker 1: something that was rooted in me that I couldn't see past.
Speaker 1: And I was like that, I will never do it.
Speaker 1: And I remember you in box throwing out different scenarios
Speaker 1: about my husband potentially being in jail or doing this
Speaker 1: or that in my head grows out of his. But
Speaker 1: we were throwing all kinds of stuff back, right, and
Speaker 1: I'd be like, not an option, right, we'll stay, you know,
Speaker 1: not an option, Not an option. And so I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure it's that younger, my younger self, that's been the
Speaker 1: most terrified of all of this, And so I have
Speaker 1: to I have compassion for her and who I was
Speaker 1: then and who I was even six years ago, Like
Speaker 1: one of my dear friends went through a divorce and
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to support her, and that, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what gets me right now. I mean, we've done
Speaker 1: the healing and in our own relationship, been and I
Speaker 1: both and he's aware we're talking about this right now,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what I hurt for how I
Speaker 1: didn't know how to understand what other people might be
Speaker 1: going through, because the reality is you don't ever really
Speaker 1: know fully what someone is going through. And I wasn't
Speaker 1: able to be there for my friend, and I wasn't
Speaker 1: able to show up for her. And we recently in
Speaker 1: the last seven or eight months reconnected and we're able
Speaker 1: to repair our relationship, and I was able to finally
Speaker 1: see because what Ben and I have been walking through,
Speaker 1: what she was going through, and how I just I
Speaker 1: think I because I didn't understand it. I had some
Speaker 1: like why can't you figure this out? Or a little
Speaker 1: bit of judgment in there that now I have fully released,
Speaker 1: thank goodness, and then thankful now that I'll be able
Speaker 1: to show up for people in a different way. And
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be where we are today at all in
Speaker 1: this process if it wasn't for the love and support
Speaker 1: from our family and friends that have walked alongside us
Speaker 1: with no judgment and just such encouragement and support and
Speaker 1: wisdom and guidance from therapists, and I just feel like
Speaker 1: divorce brings up a lot of complicated feelings, shame being
Speaker 1: the number one thing, and so that's what we've been
Speaker 1: working on releasing. And I feel as though we're finally there.
Speaker 1: We've released ourselves from any stigma. And my hope in
Speaker 1: sharing this is really that anyone else walking through this
Speaker 1: type of loss will also be able to release any
Speaker 1: shame they feel around it, because you're not alone in
Speaker 1: what you're going through. And so that is where we
Speaker 1: are and that everyone is doing well. I was gonna ask, like,
Speaker 1: how are you? It has been very it is it
Speaker 1: has been very hard, but I'm how am I? Now?
Speaker 1: I feel like we're finally on the other side, Like
Speaker 1: we weathered multiple storms at the same time, not even
Speaker 1: just this, there was a lot happening at once for
Speaker 1: our family that almost didn't seem like how can has
Speaker 1: happened all at the same time, But now that we're
Speaker 1: on the other side of it, I see actually how
Speaker 1: divine each thing was, Like one of the things had
Speaker 1: to happen for the next thing to be able to happen,
Speaker 1: and then for the next thing to happen like and
Speaker 1: again those are details that are close to our family.
Speaker 1: And but I say that to also, you know, encourage
Speaker 1: anybody else going through multiple hard things is to sure
Speaker 1: you have to process and deal with it. You don't,
Speaker 1: but but just somewhere somehow start to process. Okay, what
Speaker 1: does this make possible? And don't waste it. Don't waste
Speaker 1: what you've been through and linger in that hurt and pain.
Speaker 1: Like if you can process and heal, then you can
Speaker 1: get to the other side and see what came from it.
Speaker 1: And for our family, so much has come from the
Speaker 1: last two years that actually we're now on the other
Speaker 1: side better people. What do you feel like you've learned
Speaker 1: about yourself that um, I mean resilient is a word
Speaker 1: that comes to mind, which feels weird to say about yourself,
Speaker 1: but um, all of us like that were involved, Like
Speaker 1: there was a time in probably twenty twenty one that
Speaker 1: I didn't I mean, I wouldn't. I didn't fear for
Speaker 1: I didn't think I would do anything to myself. But
Speaker 1: there were times where if I I'd be driving down
Speaker 1: the highway and I thought, okay, like if if I
Speaker 1: were to just get in an accident, that would be okay,
Speaker 1: you know, like it was that hard. So um resilient
Speaker 1: comes to mind, because we persevered as a family. We
Speaker 1: showed up for each other. Um, we're a team. We've
Speaker 1: been and I both are a team. Like we went
Speaker 1: to therapy about all of this, and mostly just to
Speaker 1: a lot of co parenting, but us trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what was happening and where we were going to
Speaker 1: go and what we were going to do. And that
Speaker 1: was a year. We saw one couple's therapists for a
Speaker 1: year every week. A lot of those were two hour sessions.
Speaker 1: There was a season where I would leave work and
Speaker 1: I had therapy for other things that were going on
Speaker 1: in our life. That last one of the things was intense,
Speaker 1: like five weeks, three hours a day, and that's where
Speaker 1: I would leave here and go do that. And it
Speaker 1: was it was heavy. But and I know there was
Speaker 1: a time where I was absent from the show during
Speaker 1: some of that. And like you said, you know, you've
Speaker 1: said many many times before, if you're not in a
Speaker 1: right space, like go take care of yourself, you don't
Speaker 1: have to be here. So I'm thankful for that. I mean,
Speaker 1: this workplace, our work environment is part of that that
Speaker 1: support that I'm talking about from family and friends and
Speaker 1: and again the therapists, Like I say all that because
Speaker 1: it took work. You can't just come out on the
Speaker 1: other side of stuff like that without really digging deep.
Speaker 1: And it was it was heavy, and it's hard to
Speaker 1: do stuff like that. But we we came out on
Speaker 1: the other side. And I feel as though I can
Speaker 1: see the rainbow now, like the storms have passed. And
Speaker 1: I know in life I'll encounter more storms for sure,
Speaker 1: but what we've walked through, I just don't think now
Speaker 1: I'll grip so tightly to the umbrella like I feel
Speaker 1: like I just was holding onto it and I couldn't
Speaker 1: see the rainbow. But now now I just have different
Speaker 1: tools and I have different life experience that is now
Speaker 1: I think gonna benefit me in this new chapter. And
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a different I'm just a different person from
Speaker 1: it all. Yeah, you've been through a lot. I've been
Speaker 1: a pretty heavy eighteen months or so, maybe two years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think back, I mean it all, all of this,
Speaker 1: it's probably around twenty twenty, and I know for a
Speaker 1: lot of people that happen to be the year that
Speaker 1: everybody's life's probably got a little crazy. But none of
Speaker 1: this has anything to do with COVID it but it
Speaker 1: all started that year, so it's just a lot. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, I love you, we love you,
Speaker 1: and like you and I have talked about many times,
Speaker 1: not even on the air. A lot of people go
Speaker 1: through their version of this, and you shouldn't feel alone.
Speaker 1: But I think it's something that can make you feel
Speaker 1: extremely lonely because you really don't hear a lot of
Speaker 1: people talking about it in a way like you do.
Speaker 1: We're not talking about it at all except saying this
Speaker 1: happened on to the next right, And this isn't against
Speaker 1: not something that was decided yesterday. This has been well
Speaker 1: over at least two years, well over year in this decision.
Speaker 1: But we were taking care of our family first before
Speaker 1: it became a thing. And I think, yeah, I just
Speaker 1: want to be able to show up here in segments
Speaker 1: and like not have to have to dodge certain topics.
Speaker 1: And you know, then and I are both again in
Speaker 1: a good place. Like I when I say I'm I'm
Speaker 1: proud of us, I really mean it because it's not easy.
Speaker 1: And I hope that that's encouragement to anybody else going
Speaker 1: through something hard like this, is that hopefully, and I
Speaker 1: know not everybody's blessed with two people that are doing
Speaker 1: the work and two people that are getting the healing,
Speaker 1: and two people that are wanting to continue the work
Speaker 1: to make it right. Because if you're in this and
Speaker 1: you're the only one doing the work and the other
Speaker 1: person's not, I can't even imagine, honestly, cannot even imagine.
Speaker 1: And so my heart goes out to anybody that's in
Speaker 1: that situation. But I would hope if you're listening to
Speaker 1: this and you're in that and you may realize like,
Speaker 1: oh shoot, I'm not doing the work, I might be
Speaker 1: the person that's kind of making this super difficult. My
Speaker 1: hope would be that you know, us talking about something
Speaker 1: like this might be that nudge to get the therapy,
Speaker 1: get the help, dig deeper, show up as a person
Speaker 1: that you know you can be proud of later they
Speaker 1: handled it well and well for your kids, well for
Speaker 1: your kids, Like that's like for the last year we
Speaker 1: have kept the kids in our house, And I know
Speaker 1: not everybody has this option, and it's going to transition soon. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll start to rotate a week on, week off. We're
Speaker 1: doing fifty fifty custody, but we had an apartment close
Speaker 1: by and the kids would stay in the house and
Speaker 1: we would rotate. So every week for the last year
Speaker 1: we've been packing bags midweek and switching and that was
Speaker 1: important for us to do that so the kids could
Speaker 1: feel like they were stable in their home. And now
Speaker 1: they're involved in the process of their dad getting a
Speaker 1: new house and they we drive by and look at
Speaker 1: houses and they're like, oh, can you get along with
Speaker 1: the basement, and so they're they're now involved and they
Speaker 1: feel like they've got a little agency over this as well. Well.
Speaker 1: They're also very lucky to have two parents at love them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we do very much. Yeah. Well, I'm proud of
Speaker 1: you for talking about it. It would have come up,
Speaker 1: and you're right, we had to dodge some stuff and
Speaker 1: you know, it's got to be tough to come on
Speaker 1: and go. Young me was kind of uneducated and this
Speaker 1: version of me is better educated. And I hope to
Speaker 1: help other people too, and that's what you did and
Speaker 1: that's what you're doing. So you know, I say it again,
Speaker 1: we love you. I love you. You know what worse
Speaker 1: things have happened to weaker people, but You'll get through this,
Speaker 1: be better for it, and help others and help them
Speaker 1: get through similar things as well. I have no doubt. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm able to come out and talk about it now
Speaker 1: because I feel like I am on that I've made
Speaker 1: it to that other side. It didn't seem right to
Speaker 1: come out any sooner than now. Well, and also there
Speaker 1: are things to our listeners. We love ninety percent of you.
Speaker 1: Five percent of our listener you can't stand. But the
Speaker 1: five percent they want to get on social media and
Speaker 1: right like Amy, we know and like post stuff. There's
Speaker 1: a re then she can't share things that It can
Speaker 1: be legal, it can be kids, it can be there's
Speaker 1: a reason, literally, and you're the reason we don't like
Speaker 1: five percent of you because you want to get online
Speaker 1: to be like Amy. We know, we know, we never
Speaker 1: see your husband pictures. Amy, What does that even do?
Speaker 1: There's no reason. Amy's a real life human being. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's just it sucks. I would get so mad rosy.
Speaker 1: People were like, we know, well, yeah, of course I
Speaker 1: think people knew, but they didn't get online and be
Speaker 1: like they because our lives were so worthless. They got
Speaker 1: to get online and like put other people's crap out
Speaker 1: there of your listeners out like six percent, I don't,
Speaker 1: and I get mad. But anyway, okay, racist, we have
Speaker 1: to get out of this break. We're speaking of Ray.
Speaker 1: I thought he had my name in that enveloe, so
Speaker 1: did I. I had Amy this morning. I had Amy
Speaker 1: this morning because we've been talking about this. We're figuring
Speaker 1: out when we could actually talk about this, like legally.
Speaker 1: And and then the envelope happened to be today and
Speaker 1: it takes Amy said, what if your names in the envelope.
Speaker 1: That's why we did the envelope first in case her
Speaker 1: name was in the envelope. It was her name, but
Speaker 1: I thought it was Ray. Would you have ever done that? No?
Speaker 1: But man, I would have looked like a genius. It's
