Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: Welcome y'all to the Best Bits. This is Just the
Speaker 1: Bits Part two. In case you haven't heard Part one
Speaker 1: with Amy, make sure you go check that out. It's
Speaker 1: a fun interview. All the part ones are my favorite
Speaker 1: part of doing the Best Bits because I get to
Speaker 1: talk to a show member behind the scenes and talk
Speaker 1: about life. Sometimes we talk about these bits, but most
Speaker 1: of the time we just get caught up on what's
Speaker 1: going on in their lives and I like to ask
Speaker 1: random questions. So definitely check out Part one Best Bits.
Speaker 1: But this is just a bit, so let's get going.
Speaker 1: Coming in at number seven, Bobby, Ray, Mundo and myself
Speaker 1: all talked about being catfish. Now these were stories from
Speaker 1: years ago, but we all admitted it did happen when
Speaker 1: we did get catfish. So if you want a good
Speaker 1: laugh or maybe you can relate to some of these stories, well,
Speaker 1: here you go. Number seven. In a new poll, a
Speaker 1: third of people say they know someone who has been catfished.
Speaker 1: Catfishing is where you get online and you talk to
Speaker 1: a girl and she said she's a guest Jean's model
Speaker 1: and you fall for it. Oh that's me specifically. Sorry, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's me specifically, and it ends up being a dude.
Speaker 1: So thirty three percent of people know someboe who's been catfished,
Speaker 1: you guys, Yes, the only person. Really, I'm the only
Speaker 1: person you guys know that's been catfished. Unless I just
Speaker 1: had no people that they don't admit it, that maybe it.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably more likely. You know me, I'll
Speaker 1: share it. I got no problem with telling you, guys.
Speaker 1: I got no problem being humiliated and front of millions
Speaker 1: of people. Ray you have been catfished. You seem like
Speaker 1: a prime yeh, I'm person to be catfish. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I just talked to my wife about this and I said,
Speaker 1: there was a girl in college that just messaged me
Speaker 1: on Facebook. I talked to her for probably two years,
Speaker 1: never met her, talked to her on the phone all
Speaker 1: the time, saw pictures over Eventually, I believe she just
Speaker 1: deleted her Facebook. But I mean I never really knew
Speaker 1: who she was. You talked to her on the phone
Speaker 1: for years, because I talked to the guest James the
Speaker 1: model a little bit too, and I haven't put her
Speaker 1: on the show, but she didn't tell him. She doesn't
Speaker 1: like that. She's like very such, so like this, why
Speaker 1: I was giving more of a sensual that was sent?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Ray, So what do you think did
Speaker 1: you ever send her a gift to anything? No, I
Speaker 1: believe I was catfished. It was definitely a maybe a
Speaker 1: girl that didn't look like the pictures I thought. And
Speaker 1: for two years she talked to me, and you talked
Speaker 1: to her, Yeah, would you call her? Yeah? My buddies
Speaker 1: would talk to her. And she always made this Southern
Speaker 1: girl accent. But her pictures always did seem like they
Speaker 1: were kind of a little blurry. They weren't perfect pictures.
Speaker 1: Do you think it was a dude or do you
Speaker 1: think it was a girl? It was a girl. They
Speaker 1: didn't look like that. Probably dang. I wish they wish
Speaker 1: there was a story like mine. Ain't no chance it's
Speaker 1: gonna been a dude. Definitely a girl, just blurry pictures. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could have been a dude. The only spot that
Speaker 1: was blurred was Adams Apple. For some reason, the Adams
Speaker 1: Apple was always so my. The quick story about mine
Speaker 1: is this guest Jean's model reached down social media. She
Speaker 1: was like a big fan. We had messaged a few times.
Speaker 1: This is fifteen years ago. She flew to town every
Speaker 1: time we tried to FaceTime because FaceTime was maybe Skype,
Speaker 1: maybe FaceTime was the early stages. Camera was broken, and
Speaker 1: I told the show. I was like, guys, I can't
Speaker 1: believe it. Either's a Guesteans model that thinks likes me,
Speaker 1: a big fan. And they're like, no, Amy, let's but no,
Speaker 1: you're an idiot. And I was like, I'll show you, guys.
Speaker 1: She came on the show, sounded drunk but still kind
Speaker 1: of sounded like drunk, but I was like, I told you,
Speaker 1: and they're like, you told us what? And then turns
Speaker 1: out it was a dude, a skinny dude who got
Speaker 1: arrested in a hotel and he was on and he
Speaker 1: was like taking all kinds of old men were sending
Speaker 1: him stuff like tons of gifts, money, and I always
Speaker 1: say I'd never send a single gift. Did you did you?
Speaker 1: Did you? Did you send again? I said, I never
Speaker 1: send gifts. Okay, okay, gifts, he said, poor. I didn't
Speaker 1: send gifts on money. I didn't think gifts on money.
Speaker 1: But it was embarrassing and it had gone away, and
Speaker 1: a listener like months later went, hey, I think this
Speaker 1: was the person. Yeah, January twenty first, twenty and ten
Speaker 1: is when that was Wow. Man accused him a person,
Speaker 1: a model swindling wealthy men online, posing his model brecond
Speaker 1: and fraudster allegedly duped wealthy men on the internet. I
Speaker 1: wasn't even wealthy, so that's how you know it was
Speaker 1: me and yours. Yeah, yours happened before, way before the
Speaker 1: news story and before even catfishing was a thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was. I was ahead of the trend. Yeah. Were
Speaker 1: you before the Notre Dame football player, Yeah, same time,
Speaker 1: round the same time, because that was two thousand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he was thirteen. Maybe, well, whatever the case is.
Speaker 1: I was country for country was cool, saying don't be
Speaker 1: proud of that doing it for everybody's doing it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. I was vulnerable. I got got um. So
Speaker 1: that happened, and I'm the only person, like Rays admitted
Speaker 1: Morgan catfish. It sounds like you have your eyes, like,
Speaker 1: come on. I didn't remember this until I was talking
Speaker 1: to Scuba and he uncovered it. But back when aim
Speaker 1: was a thing, I had a guy online that I
Speaker 1: was talking to for at least a year who I
Speaker 1: fully believed was Brandon Yuri from Panic of the Disco,
Speaker 1: the lead singer. He had me convinced he'd send me
Speaker 1: pictures of him. I sent him pictures of myself not
Speaker 1: not crazy, why no, no winkin. And I fully believed
Speaker 1: it was him. We would get on sky. It sounded
Speaker 1: like him, but he never showed me his phone. Oh man,
Speaker 1: And I fully believed it. And we were supposed to
Speaker 1: meet up. He was supposed to have a concert in town.
Speaker 1: And I was young. I mean I was in middle
Speaker 1: school when this happened, and I was so excited catfished
Speaker 1: and then he like last minute. I was like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I won't be able to meet up or whatever. And
Speaker 1: then at that point I started to realize it is
Speaker 1: probably not actually him. Welcome to the club, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: welcome all. Heck, we're happy new members. Come about being
Speaker 1: honest the Catfish Club, Yeah yeah, catfish. We guys have fun.
Speaker 1: We went, we got has we just catfishes on. We
Speaker 1: don't say what it is, but if you say it's
Speaker 1: wearing a catfish, you know what's up. But that Brandon
Speaker 1: jury he does. How about you people? Ever heard of
Speaker 1: a much engine? How's it going people? I just did
Speaker 1: that part. How's the chorus go? How I know what
Speaker 1: that is? What's how's the chorus go? I thought that
Speaker 1: was the chorus? That is? What else do they have?
Speaker 1: Because I pretty much niled it? Then you guys just
Speaker 1: did whatever I'm doing After that, I guess we all
Speaker 1: know the same party. Even worse? What's the what's the
Speaker 1: one he did for the magician? One about he got
Speaker 1: to ha had it? What? He has another song called
Speaker 1: middle Schooler in Wichita. It's about you, It's about me.
Speaker 1: I did it. I got catfish on the end. That's
Speaker 1: not a real thing. That's all okay, Well there's that.
Speaker 1: Anybody else want to miss it? Mike, you look like
Speaker 1: you mean catfish mine? Oh? Are you sure he knows it?
Speaker 1: He would probably first image he reversed Google images. He
Speaker 1: was catfishing people. Oh, Mike, it's the best Bits of
Speaker 1: the week with Morgan number two and at the number
Speaker 1: six spot, Kathie Lee Gifford stuffed by our show. She
Speaker 1: talked all about her career She's been on TV for years,
Speaker 1: but not only that, she also shared some fun stories
Speaker 1: about how she wrote a letter to Walt Disney when
Speaker 1: she was a kid and he wrote her back also
Speaker 1: she had a crazy awkward interaction with a massive celebrity.
Speaker 1: So super fun interview, Just fun to hear her perspective
Speaker 1: and a side of her career that we don't normally
Speaker 1: get to hear about. So here it is number six.
Speaker 1: Kathy Lee Gifford. She is a legend. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: about this. Kathy Lee is best known for a fifteen
Speaker 1: year run is cost on Live with Regis and Kathy Lee,
Speaker 1: and more recently, her eleven year run is cost of
Speaker 1: The Today Show with Hoda. She was born in France
Speaker 1: because her mom was a singer and a dad was
Speaker 1: a musician. She sang a name that tune way way
Speaker 1: back in the day. She's won Emmy's. She's good friends
Speaker 1: with Caitlin and Chris Jenner. She got a new book
Speaker 1: out called The God of the Way. A new film,
Speaker 1: The Way coming out soon. Kathy Lee Gifford the legend
Speaker 1: right now on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Kathy Lee Gifford,
Speaker 1: how you been? Who's asking me specifically? I've been fantastic.
Speaker 1: Thank you? You look great. Oh, I've had a lot
Speaker 1: of work done. No, no, like you're like you come in,
Speaker 1: you're happy, You're always happy. I am happy woman. I'm happy.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy living here now. All right, So you're
Speaker 1: in Nashville now, No, I'm in the outskirts with the
Speaker 1: other people. That's Nashville. Yeah, yeah, you're of course, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're forty minutes or I'm not in Crane City, correct,
Speaker 1: which I wanted to be. I tried to buy my
Speaker 1: friend's place in the Gulch and she wouldn't sell smart.
Speaker 1: But I'm real happy here. Well, we went up to
Speaker 1: do I did the Today Show a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and we walked out of the building, walked about a
Speaker 1: block and a half down, and a homeless man it
Speaker 1: spit on my wife. Thank you well and have a
Speaker 1: nice day, he said, Cat said, Hi, that's how it ended.
Speaker 1: So when you look back at your career, because it's
Speaker 1: like you were having your prime multiple times, which is
Speaker 1: rare for anybody, because you killed it in all these
Speaker 1: different seasons of your professional life, like professionally, like when
Speaker 1: do you look at and go that those few years
Speaker 1: were the good old days. My good old days are
Speaker 1: right now. And that's what's so unbelievable about the life
Speaker 1: that I have now. People have always said to me
Speaker 1: since I left the show with Regis in two thousand
Speaker 1: and left the show with Hoda three years ago. They go,
Speaker 1: how could you leave your your dream job twice at
Speaker 1: the heights of success? And I said, well, you're just
Speaker 1: assuming that those were my dream jobs. When I was
Speaker 1: growing up, there were no talk show hosts, especially no
Speaker 1: female ones. You know, it wasn't even in the realm
Speaker 1: of possibility. I wanted to be in Nette Funicello or
Speaker 1: Hailey Mills. I wanted to be in Disney movies, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to write music, and I wanted to be
Speaker 1: on Broadway, and I wanted to write books. And now
Speaker 1: I get to do all those things, Bobby, but be
Speaker 1: my own boss. And well, I think a turning point
Speaker 1: for me was three and a half years ago. I
Speaker 1: was in Israel and I was shooting the amazing Nicole
Speaker 1: se Mullen. I was directing for the first time. I've
Speaker 1: been in front of the camera for fifty five years,
Speaker 1: and I've watched and I've learned, and I've grown in
Speaker 1: so many different ways. But I were on the cut
Speaker 1: the top of a beautiful mountain called Mount our Belle
Speaker 1: in Galilee, all right on the Sea of Galilee, and
Speaker 1: she was up there and she was singing her brains
Speaker 1: out a song she and I had written called The
Speaker 1: God Who Sees, and she's this magnificent woman just I
Speaker 1: couldn't wait to shoot her on you know, in cinematography,
Speaker 1: and she's just that that gorgeous, and she just just
Speaker 1: exudes God's love so much. And she was up there
Speaker 1: singing her brains out, and I felt like the Lord
Speaker 1: said so specifically and clearly to me, Kathy, everything I've
Speaker 1: ever taken you through in your life, from your mother's
Speaker 1: womb to this moment was for right now. Every gift
Speaker 1: I've given you, but you had to hone, you had
Speaker 1: to learn, You had to, you know, refine. Everybody wants
Speaker 1: everything instantly in our world today. But I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: when you've worked for something as long as I have,
Speaker 1: and then you have a moment like that, and it
Speaker 1: changed my life and I knew. I said, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I'm gonna spend the rest of my
Speaker 1: life bringing these unbelievable epic stories in the Bible to
Speaker 1: life through original songs and through with symphonic u magnificence.
Speaker 1: They're called oratorios, just like Tcheikowski's Peter and the Wolf
Speaker 1: was an oratorio. It's basically an old, ancient concept of
Speaker 1: a retelling but in a symphonic bed of music that
Speaker 1: just moves you, and then a narrator takes you through
Speaker 1: the story and then somebody say, and I've always loved that.
Speaker 1: And so that's what this new movie The Way is about.
Speaker 1: Its four oratorios. The first one I wrote with Brett
Speaker 1: James and my friend, our friend sal OLIVERI. Second one
Speaker 1: was with a Great Great Right. I remember the song
Speaker 1: Barry Manilow had the hit and doctor Mullman remember trying
Speaker 1: to get the feeling again. Wrote the second one the
Speaker 1: God of His Word with him. Third one was with
Speaker 1: Nicole God who Sees. And the fourth one is these
Speaker 1: amazing musicians named Lewis York. If you haven't had him
Speaker 1: on yet, Bobby, these guys are responsible for more hits
Speaker 1: with like you go back to Michael Jackson, Bruno, Mars Whitney, Madonna.
Speaker 1: Party in the usays that those guys left that world
Speaker 1: independently found each other as as writing and producing partners.
Speaker 1: Ones from Saint Louis, ones from New York. So they
Speaker 1: call themselves Lewis York. They are about the most genius
Speaker 1: guy in the music industry. And so we wrote the
Speaker 1: fourth Oratorial Code, the God on the other side. So
Speaker 1: it's all kinds of music, but some set in ancient times,
Speaker 1: some set I have I have for the retelling and
Speaker 1: a modern day retelling of the Prodigal Son's story. But
Speaker 1: I shot it in Franklin at a friend's farm, and
Speaker 1: I shot it with b bb Weinen's place. The father.
Speaker 1: You know, Jimmy Allen is the son and Claude Kelly
Speaker 1: from Lewis York is a brother, and and I just thought,
Speaker 1: I am in I am in hog Heaven now. And
Speaker 1: so I mean, when you're the when you're the boss,
Speaker 1: you get to see your vision through to the end.
Speaker 1: You know. Then if it's a success, you know, you
Speaker 1: thank God. You don't take a value, just thank him.
Speaker 1: If it's a disaster, it's just because something I have
Speaker 1: more to learn. And you can go to the Way
Speaker 1: Music dot com because it September one, it's out right
Speaker 1: September one, the movie comes out. What I'm saying, that's
Speaker 1: we're talking about the movie. First. You can go to
Speaker 1: Fathom Events dot Com. You know those fathom things that
Speaker 1: a movie comes out for one day's usually to qualify
Speaker 1: for some sort of awards thing or something like that,
Speaker 1: and that's not what we're looking for. We're if somebody
Speaker 1: wants to give me an oscar, it's fine, you'll take it.
Speaker 1: You're saying, you know what, at this point in my life,
Speaker 1: I'll say, you know what, I freaking deserve that after
Speaker 1: all these years. So the book, The God of the Way,
Speaker 1: that's the companion to the film. Yeah, the movie was
Speaker 1: supposed to come out last Easter, and it was I
Speaker 1: had to get three hundred thousand dollars more to finish it,
Speaker 1: so they weren't supposed to come out at the same time,
Speaker 1: but it worked out that way. So the book comes
Speaker 1: out August thirtieth. It's available for pre order now. But
Speaker 1: like if if I show you Abraham and Sarah and
Speaker 1: what they went through when God called them from the
Speaker 1: land of Er Nobod, who knows where the land of
Speaker 1: Er is? You read the Bible. If you read still
Speaker 1: the Bible and you think all the land of Er, no,
Speaker 1: the land of her is modern day I rock. You know.
Speaker 1: These are the things you learn when you when you
Speaker 1: study rabbinically, the Bible, like I do you learn what
Speaker 1: all those kinds of things that give things texture and context?
Speaker 1: And I want to It's the details, you know, So
Speaker 1: you can only tell so much about a song that
Speaker 1: I write. It's about Abraham and Sarah called the God
Speaker 1: of the how and when, and if people want to
Speaker 1: know more about them, read the book that goes along
Speaker 1: with It's almost like a study guide to go along
Speaker 1: with it. I'm sure you'll be spending many a weekend
Speaker 1: with this, every weekend. Actually, I've already got it coundared out.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. Well, you're more than welcome to
Speaker 1: come to our Fathom event. It's it's a full fledged
Speaker 1: motion pictures it looks. Thank God for drones. Oh, I
Speaker 1: could have never afford to be a director of films
Speaker 1: in the days when you need to hire a plane
Speaker 1: and a cinematographer to go up in the plane or
Speaker 1: a helicopter and shoot that stuff. You know, Now you
Speaker 1: send up your drone and you get the most unbelievable shots.
Speaker 1: How many times have you seen it back? Oh? I
Speaker 1: had to edit the whole thing so many many times,
Speaker 1: many many many times. Yeah, and so do you editing
Speaker 1: it so many times? Do you start to go, Okay,
Speaker 1: I've been doing it so much, I'm kind of lost
Speaker 1: as to exactly what I'm doing. You know, what you
Speaker 1: do one of two things. You either fall in love
Speaker 1: all the more with your baby, you know. I just
Speaker 1: became a grandmother the other day for the two and
Speaker 1: a half months ago. And you every time I see him,
Speaker 1: I fall more in love with him because I get
Speaker 1: to know him better. And then the other good thing
Speaker 1: about editing is you find little things that you know
Speaker 1: could could be better. But it's like anything in life,
Speaker 1: eventually your time is up and then you just have
Speaker 1: to you just have to die to that, you know,
Speaker 1: in a sense, and just let it be because it is.
Speaker 1: It is what it is, and just rejoice in it
Speaker 1: and see what God has for it. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to change people's lives, Bobby. I'm not a churchgoer. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm a Jesus lover. And you know, the first people
Speaker 1: who believed in Jesus were called the followers of the Way.
Speaker 1: They weren't called Christians till many, many years later. That's
Speaker 1: that's not a Jewish term, that's a Greek term. Christos
Speaker 1: for Messiah. He was a Jewish man, I have people
Speaker 1: say to me, well, now, let me get this right.
Speaker 1: Jesus was Jesus was Catholic, right, I go, are you crazy? No?
Speaker 1: The Biblical illiteracy is frustrating to me because it's the
Speaker 1: most fascinating book that the world has ever experienced, and
Speaker 1: the stories from it are ripped from the headlines today.
Speaker 1: Ripped from the headlines. I mean, if you read the Bible,
Speaker 1: you'll oh, my gosh, this isn't the real housewives of
Speaker 1: the Old Testament. This stuff's unbelievable. I write those stories
Speaker 1: and I bring them to life in a modern day way,
Speaker 1: and I get the sixty five best musicians I know
Speaker 1: in this town, and orchestrated by two of the finest
Speaker 1: orchestrators and anywhere in the world. I put them up
Speaker 1: against anyone, right with the best writers that are in
Speaker 1: the world, because they make me look good. And put
Speaker 1: it out there, and I hope people find it, and
Speaker 1: I hope it blesses them in a way that changes
Speaker 1: their heart so that it can change their life and
Speaker 1: give them hope. The book is the God of the
Speaker 1: way out. August thirtieth, and you mentioned the orchestra. You're
Speaker 1: still seeing wonderfully. Oh you're still seeing just as beautiful
Speaker 1: as I've ever heard you, saying when did you hear
Speaker 1: musics the other morning? Yeah? Well I was in the
Speaker 1: other room when you were a child, and your mom
Speaker 1: saying that was a musician from right, he was a
Speaker 1: jazz saxophonist. So with that, I mean, do you get
Speaker 1: an ear? And are you genetically blessed because you're like
Speaker 1: how because again, you were so good so early on. No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't, you weren't. But I wanted to be a singer.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a singer. I want to be
Speaker 1: Barbara Streison. That didn't work out. She changed my life
Speaker 1: the first time I heard people people who need people,
Speaker 1: you know, you just want to what I wanted to
Speaker 1: drop to my jaw and I just I just wanted
Speaker 1: to move people like that. And I spent years in
Speaker 1: front of a mirror trying to hit those notes. But
Speaker 1: then I realized how important it was just to be
Speaker 1: the best of me I could be. The world is
Speaker 1: full of people who try to admire other people so
Speaker 1: much they try to exactly that way. The world does
Speaker 1: not need any more copycats. We need more original, authentic people.
Speaker 1: And I came to understand how important that was. That's
Speaker 1: why I can't and all this culture, this canceling in
Speaker 1: our culture of people, because we're not all alike. We
Speaker 1: were never meant to be all alike. God went a great,
Speaker 1: great trouble to make us all so completely unique, down
Speaker 1: to our down to our fingerprints, you know. And then
Speaker 1: we as a culture say, if you don't believe the
Speaker 1: way I believe, you don't think the way I think,
Speaker 1: you don't worship the way I think, you don't vote
Speaker 1: the way I think, you can't be on this planet.
Speaker 1: And I want to go, wait a minute, this planet
Speaker 1: that God made for us, every one of us. Where'd
Speaker 1: you get that theology? That's really really screwed up theology.
Speaker 1: I like it that more people were like me, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you, more people like me, I think
Speaker 1: that I would take a few more boneses in the world.
Speaker 1: Me too. So other than just I'm the only one
Speaker 1: to wish a copy. Well, how about Jesus before you
Speaker 1: Jesus right now though in this room I'm the only one.
Speaker 1: So but back to you being a child, my personal feeling,
Speaker 1: as you could sing, but maybe your sister was better
Speaker 1: and you were in such an advanced family that you
Speaker 1: didn't know. No, you know what, I thought I could sing,
Speaker 1: and I went to my sister's vocal coach, because my
Speaker 1: sister could have been a I'm a child wonder. I
Speaker 1: went and I sang a little song, and I think
Speaker 1: I did a few chords for her, and everything stretches,
Speaker 1: you know, whatever, our peggios, whatever. And she looked at me,
Speaker 1: very very lovingly, and she goes, oh, Kathy, stick to harmony, honey.
Speaker 1: And it made me so mad that I went out
Speaker 1: and learned how to be a singer. So when you're sixteen,
Speaker 1: what do you want to be when you grow up?
Speaker 1: When I'm sixteen, I want to be um. I want
Speaker 1: to be writing and producing movies with some of the
Speaker 1: most brilliant producers in the world. I want to be
Speaker 1: on a mountaintop with my cinematographer and my creative director
Speaker 1: and my team that I do everything with now I
Speaker 1: want to I can't want that at sixteen. You don't
Speaker 1: know them yet. Oh you mean if I worked you
Speaker 1: speak out? I know sixteen. Yeah, when you were sixteen,
Speaker 1: what did you want to be? Exactly what I am now?
Speaker 1: But but you don't know that cinematographer when you're six. No,
Speaker 1: I know I wanted to make movies. I want to
Speaker 1: I said that. No, you said you're cinematographer. No, I
Speaker 1: want to be making movies. You know I called. I
Speaker 1: didn't call it. I didn't have a phone back then.
Speaker 1: They were I wrote when I was about eight years old,
Speaker 1: I wrote a movie. I saw a movie, and I
Speaker 1: wrote Walt Disney a letter, you wrote, Walt Disney, Yes,
Speaker 1: I did. It's called kutzpah in Yiddish. And it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like I knew what I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: And I wrote him a letter and I said, my
Speaker 1: name is Kathy Epstein. And I thought that time and
Speaker 1: you need to meet me. And I think back on
Speaker 1: it now, like what kind of audacity is that? I said,
Speaker 1: I want to make movies. I want to be in
Speaker 1: your movies, and you should meet me because I'm known
Speaker 1: for my expressions. And I got a letter back from him.
Speaker 1: It was a foreign letter, but an eight year old
Speaker 1: kid doesn't know. Signed Walt Disney, and he said, maybe
Speaker 1: someday you and I will work together. Kathy. I hope
Speaker 1: we will, and I think it's gonna happen. It was
Speaker 1: really very I know he didn't write it now, but
Speaker 1: back then I thought he did. I thought tinker Bell
Speaker 1: wrote it or somebody did. And it was just amazing
Speaker 1: because years later I worked with Regis and we worked
Speaker 1: Regis on my own half our show and Disney on
Speaker 1: the other. I ended up doing like five Disney films.
Speaker 1: My son made his debut along with Justin Timberlake, in
Speaker 1: a movie called you Know Model Behavior. You know I
Speaker 1: did make movies with Walt Disney. That's pretty cool. Do
Speaker 1: you think Walt Disney signed it himself? Though? No, I
Speaker 1: don't know. No, I'm not. I did it at the time,
Speaker 1: though I'd never seen a form letter either. So when
Speaker 1: did your TV career start? I had my big break,
Speaker 1: believe it or not, in nineteen seventy seven, at the
Speaker 1: age of twenty two years old, doing what the singer
Speaker 1: the lead singer on a show called Name That Tune?
Speaker 1: I knew. I know it well, Yeah, I had to.
Speaker 1: I had to learn two hundred songs in five days,
Speaker 1: singing yes, but the only little portion of it. Again,
Speaker 1: you're La La La. Life is worth living. You're a
Speaker 1: great scene, only worth living if you're Laala, Right. I
Speaker 1: had to just Lalla out the title and then somebody
Speaker 1: else go buzz Born Free. They'd win one hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and I went home with being paid scale. I
Speaker 1: didn't care. It made me. People knew me. I was.
Speaker 1: It was my big break. And then I came here
Speaker 1: to Nashville for a year and I shot something called Heha,
Speaker 1: Honeys spin off from Heha. That's where I met Dolly
Speaker 1: and the Gatlins and Barbara Vandrell and so many other
Speaker 1: people that became my friends and still are. Larry Gatlin
Speaker 1: plays Joshua in my movie The Way from All the
Speaker 1: Way Back Then, From all the way back then. You know,
Speaker 1: kids today people want everything overnight. They don't know the
Speaker 1: value of hard work. My daddy had three jobs. My
Speaker 1: mom's sold eggs door to door. You know, I was taught.
Speaker 1: I was taught such a good work ethic. My daddy
Speaker 1: used to say, you don't know. I love you too much,
Speaker 1: honey to deny you the privilege of making mistakes, just
Speaker 1: but be willing to, because that's why you're going to
Speaker 1: learn almost everything you need to know. And I never
Speaker 1: forgot that. And then when I was going in for
Speaker 1: an audition or something to say just be the best
Speaker 1: they ever had. Honey, that's all. That's awesome. Your dad
Speaker 1: sound awesome. And he was a jazz saxophonist and I've
Speaker 1: had a thing for those guys ever since. Well, so
Speaker 1: the book The God of the Way, and then the
Speaker 1: next day the movie is our days later is the book,
Speaker 1: but it's available now. That's that's The God of the Way,
Speaker 1: and the film is called The Way, and you're so
Speaker 1: sweet to let me talk about it. It comes out
Speaker 1: as a Fathom event on September first, the first seat.
Speaker 1: I would assume there were thirty days in this month,
Speaker 1: but I never mastered that Knuckles thing where it's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah January if yeah, yeah, yeah, but you start
Speaker 1: on the up now. Wait a minute, it is the
Speaker 1: next day. No, I don't know. I'm just going no,
Speaker 1: there's a thirty first Okay, well yes, I'm spending circles
Speaker 1: now anyway for it marches up. April is down, May up,
Speaker 1: June down, July up, and August is up because they
Speaker 1: both have thirty one. And then it goes. I got
Speaker 1: got by the Knuckles game. Guys didn't remember it, um
Speaker 1: cassually you are a real, real treat and I hope
Speaker 1: this thing is everything you want it to be. I
Speaker 1: hope it fills your cup in all the ways, because
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like your cup will be filled with
Speaker 1: money or prestige or fame. It sounds like you're going
Speaker 1: to change people's lives. And I really think that's really fantastic. Well,
Speaker 1: I've always been a huge fan of yours. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for having me, and boy, you didn't marry
Speaker 1: a beautiful woman? Yeah, I am. Is there something I'm missing?
Speaker 1: Are you guys broken up? What happened? No? Can you imagine?
Speaker 1: It reminded the worst thing that ever happened. I've got
Speaker 1: to learn to stop doing what happened, Oh, the worst
Speaker 1: thing ever. The first time it happened, it was with James,
Speaker 1: Taylor and Sting. I like to throw them them around.
Speaker 1: I'm interviewing them on the show with them with Hoda,
Speaker 1: and I say to James because I followed the whole
Speaker 1: Taylor family since forever, right, how's Alex? Because I've known
Speaker 1: he was sick, and James looks at me, goes, he's dead.
Speaker 1: I swear I'm going, Oh, dear God, Oh dear Jesus.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Now here's the worst one.
Speaker 1: If there's a worst one, it's this one about two
Speaker 1: years ago. Three years. I don't know, No, it's more
Speaker 1: than that, because I was on with Hoda and I've
Speaker 1: been gone three years. One of my favorite people in
Speaker 1: the entire world is Marty Short, right, who's greater than
Speaker 1: Marty Short? There's nobody love him, and I've always admired
Speaker 1: everything about him. But you don't hear about a lot
Speaker 1: about Marty in the rags or anything. He just does
Speaker 1: his work and he makes you laughing, makes you happy.
Speaker 1: I always loved him and his wife, Nancy, adored them,
Speaker 1: and so I'm gone on and on about how did
Speaker 1: you do it? Marty? You guys have one of the
Speaker 1: most incredible marriages I've you know, in Hollywood these nobody
Speaker 1: is wedding marriages like that, you know, and you're never
Speaker 1: in the trade, You're never in the all of that stuff. Well,
Speaker 1: the show ends, and Marty, because he didn't want to
Speaker 1: embarrass me, comes up to me so kindly, because Kathy,
Speaker 1: it was obvious you had no idea. But Nancy died
Speaker 1: of cancer last year, and I you know, I went,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Marty, I've got to stop asking people
Speaker 1: how somebody is because there's a chance these days, the
Speaker 1: older I get, there's a chance they're not around anymore.
Speaker 1: And I I just I mean, well, well, rest assured,
Speaker 1: we're doing wonderfully. I just always feel weird taking like
Speaker 1: people are surprised I have a pretty wife all the
Speaker 1: time because no, no, but they're like, congratulations on that,
Speaker 1: when I'm like, I don't know how to respond to that,
Speaker 1: but I will say, thank you. That's very kind to
Speaker 1: say that she got a hunk of burning love is
Speaker 1: what she got. You're the only one we walk into places, Kathy,
Speaker 1: and they look at they look at us, and they'll
Speaker 1: look at her and go oh, they look at me,
Speaker 1: and then they look back at her to make sure
Speaker 1: that she's kind of all right, and they just don't understand. No,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know what your secret is? You
Speaker 1: are Clark Kent. I take my glasses all I still
Speaker 1: saw a Clok. No, you are one hot, Okay you
Speaker 1: always okay, yeah, No, I'm not gonna take that. I'd say, well,
Speaker 1: you're right, I believe. I'd say, yeah, you're you're better
Speaker 1: than average, but no, I think you're unbelievably attractive. Well,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that my son or grandson. But that's what
Speaker 1: makes me feel well that listen, here's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: They got of the way, Let's get back to God book. Yes.
Speaker 1: And then two days later every everyone should check out
Speaker 1: your knuckles, folks, Joe I in August. Those knuckles are
Speaker 1: both ups right, and then followed by the movie Listen,
Speaker 1: I love you. I love to see you so happy
Speaker 1: and so fulfilled. I think that's all. Thank you. I
Speaker 1: want to thank Nashville and all of Tennessee for welcoming
Speaker 1: me the way they have. People have just been makes
Speaker 1: me cry to think of it. They've been unbelievably kind
Speaker 1: and great. I'm so grateful for it. Well, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, Thanks, thank you. That was awesome. It's the
Speaker 1: best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, good
Speaker 1: old Scoopa Steve and his crazy stories. This week, he
Speaker 1: shared with us that he took the opportunity with our
Speaker 1: show based on a coin flip. I know, and you
Speaker 1: may not believe me, but you got to hear this
Speaker 1: segment or you're just not going to believe him. So
Speaker 1: let's go. Time to listen to Scoopa Steve's crazy reasoning
Speaker 1: for why he flipped a coin and came to the
Speaker 1: show number five. Hey, Ray, would you play Joey Evessena
Speaker 1: real quick jam? Right? Yeah, of course, Dan, and he's
Speaker 1: on Danny. You moved thousands of miles away because of
Speaker 1: this song because of a coin flip? Right, Well, it
Speaker 1: wasn't because of the song. Come on, just say this, blon,
Speaker 1: say it this pretty cool? Go ahead, Yeah, this song
Speaker 1: makes it pretty cool. So I was I grew up
Speaker 1: in um Rochester, New York, and I was working for
Speaker 1: this company. I was only twenty one years old and
Speaker 1: I was offered a pretty big promotion, and but the
Speaker 1: promotion was not available in New York. So my boss
Speaker 1: was like, you would need to relocate to either Wilmington,
Speaker 1: North Carolina, or or Ryan, California. And I said, okay,
Speaker 1: let's flip a coin. He's like, I can let you
Speaker 1: make a decision that big based on a coin flip.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I've never been to either place. Let's just
Speaker 1: flib a coin. And I don't remember what at landed on,
Speaker 1: but I know a landers on Carolina. So I moved
Speaker 1: to Carolina the next week met my husband. My dad
Speaker 1: ended up moving down there. He got married down there.
Speaker 1: My sister moved down there, she got beared, he'd had
Speaker 1: some kids. So a single coin flip just like affected
Speaker 1: so many things in that moment. And then the song
Speaker 1: came out a few years later, and I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: my life story. So I thought when I saw this,
Speaker 1: she said, literally she had to move to Carolina or California.
Speaker 1: That's why I said, it's the song, right. No, it
Speaker 1: just happened to the exact same places. Wow, yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I hear she wrote out about you and you should sue.
Speaker 1: So Raymundo had mentioned, so you were hanging out with
Speaker 1: Scuba Steve listened to that Col Swindell version, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he was saying Scooba was saying him and his wife
Speaker 1: did the exact same thing with a coin flip. I
Speaker 1: cannot believe that you're just flipping a coin and following it.
Speaker 1: That's great, yes, because one time we didn't follow the
Speaker 1: coin and it was a terrible day, so we followed
Speaker 1: the coin. I didn't know that Scuba Steve ended up
Speaker 1: here because of a coin flip. That's pretty cool. I remember.
Speaker 1: And if you guys are new to the show, Scuba
Speaker 1: Steve is our executive producer, like he is the guy
Speaker 1: making all the decisions here behind the scenes. Um is
Speaker 1: as important to this show and as I am in
Speaker 1: many ways. And so him and I meet all the time.
Speaker 1: He's just running it. But I remember when he showed
Speaker 1: up and I interviewed him, and I was like, this
Speaker 1: dude's bald with a huge beard, looks like a death
Speaker 1: metal singer. And he's the gentlest guy. He's the kindest,
Speaker 1: always a big smile on his face, like that Scuba Steve.
Speaker 1: But he looks like he's going to rob you and
Speaker 1: then decide after he's done robbing you if he's gonna
Speaker 1: stab you or not. Like he's flipping a coin, all right,
Speaker 1: heads a stab him tells I just leave him beat
Speaker 1: up in the alley. That's what he looks like. And
Speaker 1: so you would see him and I remember him coming
Speaker 1: in and I'll be like Eddie Amy and lets you
Speaker 1: gotta meet Steve, and you guys will look at him
Speaker 1: be like, what is he one one of these programs
Speaker 1: like we hire somebody prison every Yeah, yeah, yeah, well
Speaker 1: you look kind of tough, and yeah it's the beard thing,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, no, it's not. It's not an insult at all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you flipped a coin,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad. I'm very lucky that that thing landed
Speaker 1: on heads. And I always picked heels always because tells
Speaker 1: ever fails. That's right, excepting the sign. All right, scoopa,
Speaker 1: thank you buddy here, Welcome on, Greg and Wisconsin. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a lot about moving, but I I've never heard
Speaker 1: about one deciding to divorce by a coin flat. Oh my, Greg,

Speaker 1: it came up. Three daily naps come up, but she
Speaker 1: was on. We've been together for forty three years and
Speaker 1: married for thirty years, and I found her on these
Speaker 1: three dating naps. So I went home and confronted her
Speaker 1: and she said she wasn't on him, and I showed
Speaker 1: her the pictures that I've seen on the phone. And
Speaker 1: I talked to my oldest son about it and he said, well,
Speaker 1: Daddy said, we get all the grandkids. He said, you
Speaker 1: can't just sweep them. I said, well, I'm gonna flip
Speaker 1: a coin. I said, if it comes up to head,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay. Whatever comes up, Tails, I'm going to divorce.
Speaker 1: There the game up, Tails. I cannot believe this. Never fail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tales never fails. And next Sweets, she moved in with
Speaker 1: this guy that she'd been more or less living with
Speaker 1: for the last two years. She come home on Friday
Speaker 1: and I give her money, and then Sunday I'd leave
Speaker 1: out and she would go to his house and stay
Speaker 1: until Thursday night, a Friday morning. Then I couldn't believe
Speaker 1: it. It It freaked me out. This story makes me sad,
Speaker 1: but I'm also kind of blown away that there was

Speaker 1: you talk real slow because it's late and your mama
Speaker 1: don't know. Our song is a salmon door stream, a
Speaker 1: bit like nomen enough and come home for I said, amen,
Speaker 1: asking God if she wouldn't play it again? Pretty good?
Speaker 1: That was good, okay, Lutch, what would you like to say?
Speaker 1: About that. Oh man, I'll tell you what. I thought
Speaker 1: she was gonna do terrible, but she did better. Not
Speaker 1: thought it's between okay, it's a two person race right now.
Speaker 1: I thought you would do better than that. I thought
Speaker 1: you would know the words. He's saying that song on
Speaker 1: ten thousand times, and then you asked for it specifically?
Speaker 1: Did she not another one? I got most of the world.
Speaker 1: To me, it sound like she was the words, So
Speaker 1: I don't know the song then, and then the final
Speaker 1: part of the whole course was and that was a remix. Oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't know. You didn't know that. I got off
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, it's okay, okay, you forgot to
Speaker 1: say remix my I could. I said, when you talk
Speaker 1: real slow and DUT's talk real low because your mama
Speaker 1: don't know. Oh, And then I was thinking about how
Speaker 1: I messed that up in my head, and then it
Speaker 1: derailed me. Did you I just have scored all have
Speaker 1: one more performance? Get John Tommy as good as you

Speaker 1: let's gift scores here trying to loved ones on the
Speaker 1: bed like I love the energy. Yeah, you had more energy.
Speaker 1: They can even think to bring as much energy, but
Speaker 1: they don't know how to bring a candi visualize. They're
Speaker 1: trying to hit vocal notes and we're trying to actually sing.
Speaker 1: It's weird, right, what are you trying to do exactly? Me.
Speaker 1: I was trying to sing, but I just don't know
Speaker 1: that song, man, I don't think. Yeah, I know life
Speaker 1: is Highway. Okay, that's it. Um okay, you try me
Speaker 1: the first line of that song. Then it goes the
Speaker 1: times of games and the times. Yeah, I would have
Speaker 1: struggled with that on it had to make stuf. Thomas
Speaker 1: was dancing, and Thomas was sad. Hey, everybody just don't
Speaker 1: be mad. Here we go. We're going to dance and
Speaker 1: show because everybody knows all about I just had stuff
Speaker 1: like that, like very grey doc stuff. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't say we're all gonna die, but hopefully not.
Speaker 1: I did, like, hopefully we're signing about with our loved wins.
Speaker 1: I liked that one too. That was nice, little, very peaceful.
Speaker 1: Um okay, wow, okay, I'm looking at the scores here. Wow,
Speaker 1: I got a feeling I did not win that one.
Speaker 1: That was That was my worst performance. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: the worst. Okay, I think I haven't got this, Amy,
Speaker 1: you did not win. You got eighteen points eighteen. That's big.
Speaker 1: That's a big that means. No, what are you calculating there, Amy,
Speaker 1: I'm writing down eighteen? Why are we gonna put that
Speaker 1: into your scrapbook. You didn't win, he said, you didn't win.
Speaker 1: But last time you got sixteen, you got better. And
Speaker 1: that's that's what I mean. The scores are higher than
Speaker 1: last guy like hype Man. One of the judges gave
Speaker 1: lunchboxes zero, the first ever zero. You're oh, yeah, how's
Speaker 1: that possible? Scoopa gave me a zero, saying your job
Speaker 1: gave me a zero, but lunchbox was given a zero
Speaker 1: by the guy to his room gave me a zero.
Speaker 1: I was a highwayman. Lunch total score of twelve. I
Speaker 1: would have won. Mike, you want to give me some point?
Speaker 1: You know you wouldn't have No, you wouldn't have no. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's one point game between so I got a six
Speaker 1: and the six. There's a one point difference here. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's not Eddie or Abbey. I'll tell you this, Eddie, Eddie,
Speaker 1: you got a twenty twenty. I mean, Amy, did you
Speaker 1: not see my performance? It was so feel like I
Speaker 1: were very similar. Really, yes, and Abby you got a
Speaker 1: twenty one one na Finni champion, be back next time.
Speaker 1: It's the best Bits of the week with Morgan number
Speaker 1: two now This was a controversial one because Eddie charged
Speaker 1: phone screen or Abbey. She needed some help in making
Speaker 1: a reel and he charged her for it. Listen, this
Speaker 1: segment just makes me angry in a lot of ways
Speaker 1: because Eddie isn't even the digital director. One he shouldn't
Speaker 1: be charging, but two he's not even one that should
Speaker 1: be giving advice or helping on reels. He may know
Speaker 1: how to edit videos and he's very good at that.
Speaker 1: I give him that credit, but he's had to ask
Speaker 1: for my help in making reels. So um, I guess
Speaker 1: where's like my five hundred dollars that Eddie should have
Speaker 1: probably paid me by now, if this is what we're
Speaker 1: going with. Number three, these are a few questions on
Speaker 1: the b team facebook page. Number one, did Bobby say
Speaker 1: quote lay down refrigerator that people took meat out of?
Speaker 1: I'm laughing out loud of that hillbilly, you did say that.
Speaker 1: I don't what is it? The freezer in the garage?
Speaker 1: People that have extra refrigerators in the garage and age
Speaker 1: that's a freezers? I mean, that makes me a hillbilly.
Speaker 1: Got to know that there are other things? Ain't mean
Speaker 1: a hillbilly. I didn't know that was it, and I
Speaker 1: think it's the fact that you called it a laidown refrigerator.
Speaker 1: That's what it was in my mind. But it looks
Speaker 1: like we could barely afford to stand out refrigerator, much
Speaker 1: less a laid down one a second one. So that
Speaker 1: was a freeze where I saw things coming out of
Speaker 1: there was the real name of it, though, the lay
Speaker 1: down deep freezer. Deep freezer. That's yeah, dude, not lay
Speaker 1: down fridge. Chuckles. Hey, chuckles, he liked that. I'm an idiot. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is from Christy. Hey, I'd like to think of
Speaker 1: myself as a big show fan. I listened consistently for
Speaker 1: about a decade, maybe longer. I know they obviously have
Speaker 1: other tech and men people who worked for the show,
Speaker 1: but I was listening to a podcast. I literally found
Speaker 1: myself out lout and say, who the blank is Kevin?
Speaker 1: When Bobby asked him who his team was he put
Speaker 1: in the draft? Anyone else react like me, Yes, Kevin
Speaker 1: works behind the scenes, and I guess I just referred
Speaker 1: to him, and someone's like, who's that. It's like a
Speaker 1: new character just showing up and they don't address It's true, Yeah, character,
Speaker 1: Kevin works behind the scenes on the show, and he's
Speaker 1: also on my sports podcast, So that is you're sorry
Speaker 1: about that. I should have set it up. Here's another one.
Speaker 1: Is it just me or have there been more artist
Speaker 1: interviews lately? That's a good question. Maybe so. I think
Speaker 1: we do interviews in seasons, meaning sometimes there's just a
Speaker 1: lot of good ones. We turn a lot down, but
Speaker 1: we never go, let's do more interviews. For example, Richard Marks,
Speaker 1: that wasn't an interview we had planned. That was just
Speaker 1: him reposting Abby and we went, let's see if we
Speaker 1: can get him on to talk to him. So sometimes
Speaker 1: I was organic things happen, But I don't know, Scooby,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot more interviews lately. I feel like
Speaker 1: summer is always busier with artists as they're doing their
Speaker 1: albums and they're getting for tours. Yeah, so I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they are right, we have a lot, had a lot
Speaker 1: more last few months. I'm not disagreeing at all, but
Speaker 1: we purposely, I'm not sat in the room and said
Speaker 1: let's get all more interviews. Yeah, it wasn't on purpose. No.
Speaker 1: One final question from the B team is Eddie still
Speaker 1: doing reels? Eddie? Yeah, I'm still doing reels making money?
Speaker 1: Dang right, why do you He's gone, yes, I am,
Speaker 1: I'm making good money doing reels. So also, the bonuses
Speaker 1: aren't for ongoing forever? What do you mean? Every month?
Speaker 1: It says do you want to renew your bonus? And
Speaker 1: I say yes, absolutely, Instagram keeps paying you. Yeah, have
Speaker 1: you got the money? Oh? Yeah? My wife says, I
Speaker 1: keep getting checks from Instagram, Like what is it. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's my reels. Pretty good? Huh. Are you proud of daddy?
Speaker 1: So I say that to her, yeah, sometimes because she
Speaker 1: likes that. She's like, that's funny. When when you say that,
Speaker 1: how much money? I can't thank you guys, that's the
Speaker 1: biggest check you ever got. I can't. I can't. I
Speaker 1: can't ask an artist and ever again, like when are
Speaker 1: we talking about money? And like, okay, what's the song
Speaker 1: on the page of the most? If I don't answer
Speaker 1: my question, I can't in good faith asking an artist
Speaker 1: that question. I can tell you what real has paid
Speaker 1: me the most. No, I don't care in that in
Speaker 1: that kind of format, and I take it. I'll take
Speaker 1: it go. Yeah, Dirk's Bentley riding a bike. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: he's got the most course. I mean I got that
Speaker 1: was a good paycheck. Really, Yeah, dude, you can tell
Speaker 1: any of us. No, I can't tell you guys. By
Speaker 1: the way, Abby says, Eddie wants to charge her to
Speaker 1: make reels. Eddie's been charging people. I've already charged her.
Speaker 1: What all sales are final? Yes, Eddie charged you money?
Speaker 1: Who did? Yeah? He helped me with my last real
Speaker 1: what happened? Um? So I had what I wanted to
Speaker 1: make one about Richard Marks and act like I'm like
Speaker 1: waiting for him to call, Like I'm right here waiting,
Speaker 1: have you right? Yeah? Yes, I wanted to have the
Speaker 1: music of his song actually like playing in the background
Speaker 1: while I'm sitting there like waiting for the call. But
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to do that, like on Instagram,
Speaker 1: how you can just like put the charge you Yes,
Speaker 1: you paid him? Hear me out the Morgan number twenties
Speaker 1: start charging Eddie? Wow, let me you want to hear
Speaker 1: my side of the story. Mind blown? You got fifteen seconds?
Speaker 1: She came to me and said, hey, can you help
Speaker 1: me with this? I said, yeah, and do that or
Speaker 1: if you need to just download an app and there's
Speaker 1: apps for that, And she goes Okay, she spent about
Speaker 1: thirty minutes. I can't do it. And I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I can do it on my system, but
Speaker 1: I'll have to charge you for that. How much you
Speaker 1: charge her? Five dollars? That's so dumb. Five dollars. She
Speaker 1: probably makes Nobody help Eddie do anything, and less you
Speaker 1: charge him? Yep, that's right, she's making money on Really
Speaker 1: help me get me on a reel. Have you ever
Speaker 1: helped Eddie with anything? Yes? I have multiple times, So
Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty bucks now, probably no help Eddie.
Speaker 1: Eddie's on probation. Don't help him. What if I give
Speaker 1: her five bucks? About right now? You're in there, you're
Speaker 1: in the doll Does that mean he has to pass
Speaker 1: if he uses in? Is real too? No, that's not
Speaker 1: the case. We already had that. Yes, that's said and done. Wow,
Speaker 1: I can't believe you charged your act and he told
Speaker 1: me no refunds. He's like, there's no whole refinal. That's
Speaker 1: what I said. How did you pay him? Casca? Because
Speaker 1: I knew her the Dollar store? No listen, because I
Speaker 1: knew when she was gonna use Richard Mark's music. There
Speaker 1: was a big, good chance they'll get flagged and not
Speaker 1: and be pulled. So I was like, Hey, all sales
Speaker 1: are final. I can't believe this. I'm a little bit
Speaker 1: in shock. What do you mean? Hey, that's real. That's
Speaker 1: a business and I'm in the business and making money.
Speaker 1: It took him like two minutes. Also, Okay, I'm over this.
Speaker 1: Kane Brown like I love country music. We're gonna play this.
Speaker 1: Nobody helped Eddie? Okay for how long? If he's on
Speaker 1: the side of a broken leg, needs to ride? Don't
Speaker 1: whoa broken leg unless he pays you? All right? It's
Speaker 1: the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two
Speaker 1: definitely a segment you all loved this week. In hearing,
Speaker 1: Amy talked about her daughter who is newly in high
Speaker 1: school and she had a fun speech assignment. She had
Speaker 1: to answer the question who would she like to have
Speaker 1: dinner with? And her answer was not something that Amy
Speaker 1: or any of us expected for her to say, but
Speaker 1: it was a really sweet and really mature response, and
Speaker 1: Amy shared that entire story. So here it is. Number two.
Speaker 1: Kids are back at school. Yes, yeah, I mean we're
Speaker 1: both kids are doing so great. And I'm so proud
Speaker 1: of my daughter because one of the classes she's enrolled
Speaker 1: in is a speech class, and her first speech was
Speaker 1: last week and she was super nervous. Amy's daughter, by
Speaker 1: the way, if you're new, was adopted from Haiti and
Speaker 1: has a very thick accent. Still she still does yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's still learning English, but she's pretty good. Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 1: she texts me like a businessman. Are all of your
Speaker 1: things going well? Any objectives you need to help? I'm
Speaker 1: like to share. You're like fifteen. I look forward to that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing you soon. So she's in
Speaker 1: a speech class with other English speaking kids, like normal,
Speaker 1: straight up yeah awesome. So she has to get up
Speaker 1: in front of the class and deliver the speech. Last week,
Speaker 1: I think the speech was about communication, and then this
Speaker 1: week they took it a little deeper and they had
Speaker 1: to write about who they would have dinner with. Debt
Speaker 1: or alive. The person could be opening it up to
Speaker 1: dead people. I don't know that. I like that though.
Speaker 1: Is the game? It just Jesus is always the answer, right,
Speaker 1: of course? She debated that or Abe Lincoln. Sure, I
Speaker 1: like just doing alive because it limits your options of
Speaker 1: I mean, George Washington anyone? Yeah? Real cool? Yeah, like
Speaker 1: if you don't pick them, you're always a bad guy.
Speaker 1: So what did she say? So all on her own,
Speaker 1: she brought it to me because she needed help printing
Speaker 1: it out, and she likes to review and go over it.
Speaker 1: So I pull it up, I print it out, and
Speaker 1: she starts reading it, and she said, if I could
Speaker 1: have dinner with anybody debt or alive, it would be
Speaker 1: my biological parents. And then she went into I would
Speaker 1: ask my mom, you know, And I got her permission
Speaker 1: to share this, by the way, and she's delivering it
Speaker 1: in front of her whole class, but she said that
Speaker 1: we could talk about it here because I was just
Speaker 1: so proud of who she's turning into. But she said
Speaker 1: she would like to ask her mom why she dropped
Speaker 1: her off at the orphanage at five and a half
Speaker 1: years old. And then she said, also, I would like
Speaker 1: to know if my dad is alive or dead, because
Speaker 1: I don't know. The last time she remembers seeing him,
Speaker 1: he dropped her off at school and she burned her
Speaker 1: left leg on his motorcycle and she still has a
Speaker 1: scar on her leg, and she's like, that's why I
Speaker 1: remember that day. But she has no idea where he
Speaker 1: is but she remembers her mom, and then that is
Speaker 1: her speech. I mean, she has some other words in there,
Speaker 1: and then the last sentence is her understanding the need
Speaker 1: for this separation. She called it from them, and that
Speaker 1: she forgives them. That is a lot. I know she
Speaker 1: would just pick up piece of paper and stumble into yeah.
Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm sure she's delivering it well. She
Speaker 1: is today or you know, after lunch or something is
Speaker 1: when she has that class. And she stood before me
Speaker 1: and my sister and practiced over and over, and she's
Speaker 1: already getting so much better from last week. She could
Speaker 1: barely deliver the speech without fidgeting and moving around, and
Speaker 1: she was so nervous, and then this one being so personal.
Speaker 1: I was just proud of her and the delivery. And
Speaker 1: I'm just sending her all the good vibes for today.
Speaker 1: I can understand why you'd be proud. I can also
Speaker 1: understand why that would hurt a little bit, even though
Speaker 1: you know it shouldn't hurt, and it when you think
Speaker 1: through it, you can probably think yourself into it not hurting,
Speaker 1: because right she has oh, I logical parents. Yes, I
Speaker 1: know I am her second mom and that I hope
Speaker 1: she gets to reunite with her birth mom one day. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Haiti is just not in a position. I thought we
Speaker 1: would have gone back there by now, but it's just
Speaker 1: in such turmoil it's not safe for us to go.
Speaker 1: And she did ask that a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: when do you think we're going to be able to go?
Speaker 1: And I just was honest with her and I said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know that hurt you a little bit. I don't, no,
Speaker 1: I mean, I just want to make sure. I think
Speaker 1: it makes me question am I doing the role that
Speaker 1: she needs? Like is she trying to go find her parents?
Speaker 1: Because I'm not fulfilling that role for her. But that's
Speaker 1: just a I know, that's a lie that pops up
Speaker 1: into my head real quick. And I'm glad that yes,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad I can reset and know the truth
Speaker 1: and that I am. She does see me as mom,
Speaker 1: and I'm reminded that every time, you know, I call
Speaker 1: her and she answers the phone hello mother, and that
Speaker 1: hello mother. But anytime my kids call me mom, I
Speaker 1: am reminded, well, they see me as that because their
Speaker 1: first year here, sometimes it was mom and then sometimes
Speaker 1: it was Amy. So there was some growing pains. Good here,
Speaker 1: we are good. I'm proud of her for doing that,
Speaker 1: for being comfortable enough to do that in front of you,
Speaker 1: in front of her class. No, no, no, oh, yes,
Speaker 1: in front of me. Yes. Yeah, I've been able to
Speaker 1: write that and do it in front of you and
Speaker 1: at the end to say and I forgive them right.
Speaker 1: It's a complicated thing. It's very complicated. And I imagine
Speaker 1: as she's fifteen sixteen, as she grows into an adult,
Speaker 1: there's going to be more curiosity and more questions, and
Speaker 1: I just want to be there for her in the process.
Speaker 1: I would imagine her curiosity and appreciation fluctuates like the
Speaker 1: stock market as the years go by, because I think
Speaker 1: as she gets older, the appreciation for you will grow,
Speaker 1: but her curiosity will as well. You know, as I
Speaker 1: got older and I wasn't adopted in the same way.
Speaker 1: I was adopted a bit by my grandmother and didn't
Speaker 1: have a dad and all that story. But my appreciation
Speaker 1: for the people that stepped in for me on a
Speaker 1: much lower level rose so much from my friend Evans dad,
Speaker 1: who took me on vacations for the first time. My
Speaker 1: high school football coach, too, was like the guy who
Speaker 1: instill discipline in me, And so as I got older,
Speaker 1: I was like, man like, I really appreciate those men
Speaker 1: that gave me that influence when they did not have to,
Speaker 1: which I did when I was young. And saying, thing's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with you. She's gonna get older and see
Speaker 1: the sacrifices that you went through. But she's also going
Speaker 1: to get older and wonder who she is and where
Speaker 1: she comes from and what her human parents look like.
Speaker 1: You know what, five years ago, it's really the first
Speaker 1: time that i'd met my biological father and that me
Speaker 1: being able to sit at the table and see him
Speaker 1: in human form was wild because I never sat and
Speaker 1: had dinner or had a conversation with a parent ever,
Speaker 1: and so that was weird for me, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be weird for her. But that's something she's probably going
Speaker 1: to want to pursue, and I hope she gets to
Speaker 1: do that one day. And whether I'm a part of
Speaker 1: it with her or not, that's okay, because I don't
Speaker 1: know what age it will happen. But you'll always be
Speaker 1: a part of it with her, Yes, even if you're
Speaker 1: not there, Yeah, you will always be a part of
Speaker 1: it because you enabled her to have a life where
Speaker 1: she could actually go back or be curious from a
Speaker 1: healthy place. Yeah. I hope so. Because another weird lie
Speaker 1: that pops into my head is because we adopted older
Speaker 1: kids and she was ten almost eleven when she first
Speaker 1: got here, and I mean, it's happening quick. She's going
Speaker 1: to graduate and move out. I feel like the next
Speaker 1: four years are going to go so fast, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: what if we don't What if she moves out? And
Speaker 1: then it's like, Oh, I have this whole life to pursue,
Speaker 1: and this wasn't really my family family. So I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna move on, and I can't be like, hey, are
Speaker 1: you coming home for Thanksgiving? You know? There's let's be
Speaker 1: honest and you can correct me if I'm wrong here.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest about something. Kids in that orphanage I've
Speaker 1: been there. It ain't good if they age out of it.
Speaker 1: That's why we adopted older Here. Am I good? I
Speaker 1: would imagine most kids that come out of the orphanagees
Speaker 1: that are told you're too old to live here now,
Speaker 1: things don't turn out well for them, right. I would
Speaker 1: imagine that's a very significant number that don't turn out well.
Speaker 1: So regardless of if she is what you just described,
Speaker 1: if she's totally that way or not, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, It doesn't affect how we everyone should
Speaker 1: feel about people that are doing things like you're doing
Speaker 1: to change kids' lives. And so I'm sure there is
Speaker 1: some resentment there. You're a kid. You're supposed to resent
Speaker 1: your parents anyway, much less parents that took you from
Speaker 1: a place where you don't understand why you were taken
Speaker 1: out of right yet, which she has expressed that because
Speaker 1: at ten she told me, nobody asked me if I
Speaker 1: wanted to come to America. Y'all just took me. And
Speaker 1: she has a point so valid, and I was thankful
Speaker 1: that she could use her voice at such a young
Speaker 1: age and put that into words, because she was clearly
Speaker 1: feeling it. And it's not something you think about when
Speaker 1: you're in the process of it. You're like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring them here and be a family and
Speaker 1: give them this life. And her life was in Haiti
Speaker 1: with all her friends that though she was having a
Speaker 1: good time every day. But yeah, I think ultimately once, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's older, she'll see it all she can probably see
Speaker 1: it now, but I just had that fear of when
Speaker 1: she moves out, will she want to come back. If
Speaker 1: she does, or if she doesn't know, it's still then
Speaker 1: and it will always be her decision. But I have
Speaker 1: a feeling that she will want to come back at
Speaker 1: least to see me, because at least at least to
Speaker 1: see me, she looks forward to it, because I look
Speaker 1: very forward to our next commitment. Yes, well, that is
Speaker 1: a complicated story, Yeah, that it is, but it's awesome
Speaker 1: at the same time, complicated and awesome. Absolute that she's
Speaker 1: mature enough to even communicate that and then on the
Speaker 1: back end to go, you know, and say what she
Speaker 1: said about and she forgives them. That's awesome. She's so smart.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can just hear the scheme she's up to.
Speaker 1: She can the massage gun to school was charging people
Speaker 1: to that's whole. That's something I would have done. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: She's so smart. That's super cool. It's the best bits
Speaker 1: of the week with Morgan number two, then in at
Speaker 1: the number one spot this week, A lunchbox made it
Speaker 1: on the news finally, but not for anything he did. No,
Speaker 1: In fact, it was more of his back inside profile
Speaker 1: that made it on the news. But he made it
Speaker 1: on the news regardless, and he was so stoked about it. So,
Speaker 1: without further ado, this is Lunchbox making it on the
Speaker 1: news for a protest, though he was not actually involved
Speaker 1: in number one. I did see a story two about
Speaker 1: a protest yesterday here where we live, and these people
Speaker 1: were protesting the fact that vegan milk, like an almond milk,
Speaker 1: costs more than if you were to get a cow milk.
Speaker 1: And they're like, it shouldn't cost more, it should be
Speaker 1: the same prize free vegans whatever. And they concrete their
Speaker 1: feet into these different things so they can't move them.
Speaker 1: The road is shut down again at Starbucks, protesting that
Speaker 1: vegan milk be the same as normal cow milk. Okay,
Speaker 1: And then I see that Lunchbox has joined the protest
Speaker 1: just to get on TV. Oh my god, he's in
Speaker 1: the news story. Yeah, it's very free, it's very brief.
Speaker 1: He made the news. It's very made the news guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw this going down. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I gotta get in on the action. So I went
Speaker 1: and protested. He did, And so here's clip. How awesome.
Speaker 1: I mean, these people are crazy. I mean they put
Speaker 1: cement around their feet as a protest. One of them
Speaker 1: had to go to the hospital too because he was
Speaker 1: playing his feet hurt. Oh my god, submit yourself in.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna feel good. Here is clip number
Speaker 1: one that this Lunchbox intros himself and finds out protesters
Speaker 1: cementing themselves to the ground. Yeah. I was talking to
Speaker 1: the head protester. I guess you call her the head
Speaker 1: or the leader of the pack. I don't know what
Speaker 1: she is. Ahead. Hey, you don't remem I'm Lunchboch from
Speaker 1: the Boby Mole Show. And I see you guys are
Speaker 1: going out here, So what's going on? Tell me what's
Speaker 1: going down? Yeah, no, I don't. We are here in Nashville.
Speaker 1: Our activists have cemented themselves to the floor. Here. The
Speaker 1: police came and removed several of our acts with the activists.
Speaker 1: They drilled one of them. Well, you actually put semen
Speaker 1: around your leg? Yeah, he cemented on in there in
Speaker 1: the news story, you see Lunchbox for like point three seconds,
Speaker 1: but you do see him. I mean, I am there,
Speaker 1: I am Mark. You can see your face, you see
Speaker 1: the back of your starts like he's in the background
Speaker 1: of a camera shot or something. No, no, I'm right
Speaker 1: there with the protesters. Man, I am standing strong with them.
Speaker 1: But you never see your face. I know they see
Speaker 1: the back of his now, yeah it is him. Here
Speaker 1: is clip number two. I'm talking to them. But anyway,
Speaker 1: we're here protesting. Starbucks is unjust up charge on vegan mills.
Speaker 1: So despite paying lip service to sustainability, Starbucks is continuing
Speaker 1: to charge customers up to ninety cents extra to have
Speaker 1: vegan milk instead of dairy in their costs. So wait
Speaker 1: a minute. You're trying to save the planet and they're
Speaker 1: trying to charge you more for saving the planet. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: it's it's insane, it's not makes sense. So we should
Speaker 1: say no more meeting our mouth or no more Starbucks.
Speaker 1: Remember save the planets, save the cow's, no more in
Speaker 1: the vegan Yes that's charged now. Yeah, you know we're
Speaker 1: here for a reason. So do we come back tomorrow
Speaker 1: in the tomorrow or right? What do we do? Well,
Speaker 1: you know we're Starbucks. Doesn't know where we'll show up now,
Speaker 1: got it? That's the whole key. Gotta keep them on
Speaker 1: their toes, all right, thank you? Wow, this is crazy.
Speaker 1: They travel around the country to different Starbucks. They were
Speaker 1: from different states. Yeah, oh, I thought they were just
Speaker 1: whacky doodles from here. No. No, they said, you never
Speaker 1: know where we're gonna be next, and so they travel
Speaker 1: in a U haul. Guys, I talked to an eyewitness.
Speaker 1: Don't listen the eyewitness or an eyewitness, No I can't.
Speaker 1: You need to talk to yourself. This guy saw it
Speaker 1: all start like he was there when it went down,
Speaker 1: and he was incredible. So tell me what you saw.
Speaker 1: I was here at the beginning. Then next thing I know,
Speaker 1: I'll see a U haul trump pull up right here.
Speaker 1: They lifted up and they all jump out, and then
Speaker 1: they get there's kind of like a SWAT takeover. You
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, Swat team. But it was
Speaker 1: protesters and they pulled out the cement like that. Believe me,
Speaker 1: they ain't done. I love image as it is. They
Speaker 1: shut down one of the largest growth in Starbucks in
Speaker 1: Daveson County. There's only six of them and all of
Speaker 1: them did that. Yeah. Now does it inspire you to
Speaker 1: get in the concrete? Okay? I love a good peaceful protest.
Speaker 1: I do. It was hilarious. There's no need to stop
Speaker 1: all that traffic. I saw people that were trying to
Speaker 1: do their jobs at the hair salon next door, and
Speaker 1: they were like, our clients can't even get here. We
Speaker 1: just send them like a backway, concreting their feet in.
Speaker 1: The rules should be, if you choose to conquerte yourself in,
Speaker 1: you can't go to the hospital because your toe hurts,
Speaker 1: you gotta stay in there. You're never committed. You committed.
Speaker 1: I mean they blocked the entrance to Starbucks, the exit,
Speaker 1: and they concrete it and they put caution tape up
Speaker 1: like you can't get past. And I was like, this
Speaker 1: is awesome. Where you disappointed the news didn't interview you.
Speaker 1: I was so mad because I'm in I was doing
Speaker 1: the chant with them in the protest, in the Vegan
Speaker 1: up the up chart. I don't even say the cows now, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. You don't have me in your mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it was awesome. And then I go home and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna be on the news, gonna be
Speaker 1: on the news. Why would I sit down? Let's show
Speaker 1: him my back the back of its head for like
Speaker 1: a split second. But you didn't have a haircut, yes
Speaker 1: it did, well, why did you stop there? Did you
Speaker 1: just We're just driving down the road and just driving
Speaker 1: down the road and saw it pulled over. He's like,
