Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two. Well,
Speaker 1: let's up, y'all, welcome to the Best Bits. I'm Morgan
Speaker 1: and what I do on this part. One of best
Speaker 1: bits is bring on another show member and we talk
Speaker 1: about live sometimes the segments on the show, but mostly
Speaker 1: just fun random questions and get you caught up on
Speaker 1: some stories maybe you haven't heard from them. And this weekend,
Speaker 1: I'm bringing on Amy. What up. I'm excited to talk
Speaker 1: with you and we're just gonna dive ride in. At
Speaker 1: that number seven spot, we got an update on Lunchbox
Speaker 1: being on Building Roots season two. He talked to your
Speaker 1: sister then then get the best good news. So I
Speaker 1: need to know is there any details about you potentially
Speaker 1: being on the show. I can't say yes or no,
Speaker 1: so we'll just leave it at that. Okay, she was
Speaker 1: in town. Yeah she wasn't to say that my sister
Speaker 1: was here. Maybe not for that, maybe for that, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe not all right, I just I don't know what
Speaker 1: I can say or not say. So I just know
Speaker 1: that they're doing season two and they have started filming,
Speaker 1: and yes she did talk with Lunchbox. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: even say something that never got said on the show,
Speaker 1: and it'll only be said here. And what stays here
Speaker 1: on the best bit stays here, right. I think even
Speaker 1: though there was what you're you'll hear in the conversation
Speaker 1: or if you heard it on the show this week,
Speaker 1: that there's not something happening really with Lunchbox. I know
Speaker 1: there's stuff floating around about potentially using him in a
Speaker 1: different way. Okay, so whether that could be something here
Speaker 1: or flying him somewhere or just using him, that's all
Speaker 1: I had. That's all I can say. But it stays here.
Speaker 1: I never said that. Listeners, you cannot call in about
Speaker 1: that one, Okay, you just leave it for Lunchbox doesn't
Speaker 1: even know. And so anyway, I just thought that'd be
Speaker 1: like a fun thing to share that, Like everyone loves
Speaker 1: Lunchbox because he's so crazy. The call he did to
Speaker 1: my sister was kind of crazy. And obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: there's things about Lunchbox that definitely need improvement, because sometimes
Speaker 1: his behavior is a little childish and obnoxious, But then
Speaker 1: there's other parts about him that are definitely endearing. So
Speaker 1: he does have redeeming quality. Yes, he does love that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So new season possibly airy next year. Yes, it'll air
Speaker 1: next year. All right, Okay, that's all we get for now.
Speaker 1: Maybe Aban can tell us more coming up soon. Speaking
Speaker 1: of shows, though, do you have any TV rex for people,
Speaker 1: I mean TV wise, No, but I do have a
Speaker 1: movie rec my sister when she was here, we took
Speaker 1: my kids to see Ticket to Paradise, which is the
Speaker 1: new George Clooney Julia Roberts movie, and it's an adorable
Speaker 1: rom com that's perfect for adults. There was plenty of
Speaker 1: kids in the theater. My kids laughed throughout the entire thing.
Speaker 1: There's some stuff I thought, Oh, my twelve year old
Speaker 1: son like, oh, it's awkward. I don't want him to
Speaker 1: see that, but nothing too awkward. It was stuff that
Speaker 1: just went way over his head so it didn't even matter.
Speaker 1: And then you know, my fifteen year old daughter, she
Speaker 1: knows the ways of the world, so it was fine
Speaker 1: for her. But we all laughed out out and we
Speaker 1: all felt good when we left, and my sister even said,
Speaker 1: I just don't think I've seen a rom com like
Speaker 1: that in years. That was much needed. So shout out
Speaker 1: George Clooney, Julia Roberts. I give it five seaweed Farms
Speaker 1: in Bali out of five oh five out of five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that. We do need more rom coms. And
Speaker 1: now both my kids are you know, are like, kay,
Speaker 1: when can we go to Bali. I'm like, Okay, just
Speaker 1: go watch the movie if you want to take a
Speaker 1: trip back to Bali, because it's not that simple to
Speaker 1: get there. Yes, and you will have spent now two
Speaker 1: weekends in the theater because at the time when most
Speaker 1: people will listen to this, you will have seen or
Speaker 1: are about to go see Terrified two as well. That's right,
Speaker 1: So lots of theater action for you recently. I know
Speaker 1: I'm not pumped about Terrified Too because it's two and
Speaker 1: a half hours long. I mean, whatever, it is, what
Speaker 1: it is, I have to go watch it, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure I'm going to hate it because I don't like
Speaker 1: horror films, but it's the time two and a half
Speaker 1: hours of just sitting there miserable. If you give me
Speaker 1: two and a half hours of George Clooney and Joey Roberts,
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna be fine, that is true, But not
Speaker 1: Terrified too. Well, there is always an option that you
Speaker 1: just can't handle it and you make yourself pass out
Speaker 1: and then you can leave early, Amy, that's right, or
Speaker 1: maybe I just fall asleep. I don't know. Ye. Hey,
Speaker 1: you can't control what your body does, right, so I'll
Speaker 1: just say that's an option. A listener sent me a
Speaker 1: note said, nobody said you couldn't wear an eyemask and
Speaker 1: just take a little nap. There's no other rules besides
Speaker 1: what's been stated on the show, right, So I'm game
Speaker 1: for anything you want to do to get through Amy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is a show I watched on Netflix that I
Speaker 1: really loved called From Scratch, and I think you would
Speaker 1: really enjoy this one, Amy. It's about these two people
Speaker 1: falling in love, ones from Italy, ones from America, and
Speaker 1: it's their whole love story and that's their life kind
Speaker 1: of panning out. And I thought it was just going
Speaker 1: to be this kind of whole romance limited series, but
Speaker 1: it ended up being about their life and what happened
Speaker 1: to them over the course of time and a very
Speaker 1: real look at what happens in life. And so I
Speaker 1: had all the emotions watching it. Lots of crying too.
Speaker 1: So if you need a good cry, oh that's good
Speaker 1: to know. It's a good show for that. So like
Speaker 1: things that make me cry. Yes, it'll make you happy,
Speaker 1: you and make you cry, give you all the good feelings.
Speaker 1: But I give it five out of five Italian dishes. Okay, yes, Phil,
Speaker 1: like we did. I give the movie five out of five. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so we got two five out of five recommendations for
Speaker 1: the listeners, solid ones. Rita Wilson on the show this week,
Speaker 1: she sent Bobby a Thinky card after being on the
Speaker 1: Bobby Cast and being interviewed by him, and I just
Speaker 1: thought that was a super cool story and I wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure to share that again here also because
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear if you've ever gotten a really
Speaker 1: cool gift from a celebrity that you loved, amy, I, yes,
Speaker 1: we've gotten really cool things. But if I have to
Speaker 1: think about something that like super special that involves a celebrity,
Speaker 1: it would be my Taylor Swift guitar. It's just a
Speaker 1: guitar signed by Taylor, but it's not just any old
Speaker 1: signed Taylor guitar. It was put up in an auction
Speaker 1: for cancer research, and one of our listeners who's a
Speaker 1: doctor and works in cancer, did the high bid on it,
Speaker 1: which I think it got pretty high, and he bought
Speaker 1: it or won the bid, but then didn't keep it
Speaker 1: for himself. He turned around and gave it to me
Speaker 1: because he knew I was a huge Taylor Swift fan.
Speaker 1: And it was right around the time that Pimp and
Speaker 1: Joy was really taking off and everyone was trying to
Speaker 1: spread joy to others as much as possible. And we
Speaker 1: had filmed the Pimp and Joy music video because Walker
Speaker 1: Hayes had written the song Joy Like Judy, which it's
Speaker 1: up on YouTube if you have never seen that. But
Speaker 1: the doctor that gifted me the guitar, he's actually in
Speaker 1: the music video too, because we tried to get we
Speaker 1: collected video footage from listeners, whether they were cancer patients
Speaker 1: or doctors or other people facing adversity in some way,
Speaker 1: shape or form, but that we're able to still spread joy,
Speaker 1: and he was one of the doctors that sen in
Speaker 1: footage as well. So I anytime I see my Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift guitar at my house, I think of that and
Speaker 1: that's just super special and will always be. I mean,
Speaker 1: because it's Taylor Swift, but it's also from a listener
Speaker 1: and it just reminds me how awesome our community is. Yeah. Wow,
Speaker 1: I don't think anything is going to top that, because
Speaker 1: that's just cool all the way around. Yeah, so fun.
Speaker 1: Did you cry when he gave it to you? Probably
Speaker 1: it was years ago, probably, you know, eight over eight
Speaker 1: years ago, so it's been a minute, but I still
Speaker 1: have it and it's still very special. What about you. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: that's a really good one. I mean, like I said,
Speaker 1: nothing he's going to top that one. But I will
Speaker 1: say the Titans gifts that I got in recent months
Speaker 1: was a really cool one, just because I don't know
Speaker 1: how they decided and why they decided to send it
Speaker 1: to me, but it just made me feel really special
Speaker 1: and cool. That community that is so big here in
Speaker 1: Nashville wanted to send me that and it felt good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And of course I wear that sweatshirt all the time.
Speaker 1: It's very company. So that one was good. But now
Speaker 1: I need to think and see if there's any other
Speaker 1: cool ones to see if they're even any close to
Speaker 1: as cool as yours, because that's a really good one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's special for sure. Yes, I love that. At number five.
Speaker 1: This week, Eddie, his son is playing baseball, and Eddie
Speaker 1: decided to watch the baseball game from the parking lot,
Speaker 1: and boy, did y'all have a lot to say about that.
Speaker 1: Anytime we talk about parenting things on social media, y'all
Speaker 1: love to jump in there and share either your experiences, opinions, everything.
Speaker 1: But most of you, I will say, at least ninety
Speaker 1: five percent did not agree with decision to watch his
Speaker 1: son's baseball game from the parking lot. Amy, Do you
Speaker 1: have any proud parenting We're not going to focus on
Speaker 1: any negatives because we don't need to give social media
Speaker 1: more options here. Do you have any proud parenting moments
Speaker 1: that have happened recently? Well, I mean I watched my
Speaker 1: son's game and the freezing cold, and I stood on
Speaker 1: the sidelines. I'm proud of myself for sticking out. And
Speaker 1: I was also proud of this other mom that this
Speaker 1: was definitely not her first rodeo because she had a
Speaker 1: whole heater system set up with like extension cord and
Speaker 1: plugged into some other thing, like it was a whole setup,
Speaker 1: And I thought, Wow, she is brilliant. One day, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be as smart as her. After that game,
Speaker 1: I went home and ordered all those handfarmers, you know
Speaker 1: the kind that you can once they hit the air
Speaker 1: and then you break them up. They get hot and
Speaker 1: you can keep them in your pocket. I ordered some
Speaker 1: of those. A listener sent me this some electric heated
Speaker 1: vest that you can get. It's battery operated, so you
Speaker 1: could wear it as a parent on the sidelines, or
Speaker 1: you can give it to your player, like your child
Speaker 1: that's out on the field. Because Stevenson was so cold,
Speaker 1: and I guess a proud parenting moment that also ties
Speaker 1: into that night was he was so cold. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's got Haitian blood. He is not used to winters.
Speaker 1: He's been here, not almost five years yet, but not
Speaker 1: even five years, and he just gets really really really
Speaker 1: really really cold, and it was so painful for him.
Speaker 1: Like once he got in the car after the game
Speaker 1: they had won, his adrenaline like kind of softened. He
Speaker 1: started to feel the pain in his hands and they
Speaker 1: were like burning, and he got kind of upset and emotional.
Speaker 1: And my proud parenting moment is that I love that
Speaker 1: I have the tools to make sure that he feels
Speaker 1: safe to let it all out in the car. And
Speaker 1: we had a moment and he let it all out,
Speaker 1: and I know that that was so good for him
Speaker 1: to be able to feel those feelings and not be told, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, toughen up, or you know that there's there's
Speaker 1: some people that that is the type of parents that
Speaker 1: maybe they had. And I tried to think back to
Speaker 1: what my parents would do. I don't really remember, but
Speaker 1: I know that I have friends and family that were
Speaker 1: told at certain points in time, or you know, even
Speaker 1: probably my parents. Parents told them, you know, tough enough,
Speaker 1: like it's just it's fine, don't cry because it's cold,
Speaker 1: or try to push away their emotions or not allow
Speaker 1: them to feel them. But I was proud that we
Speaker 1: had a moment in the car where he was able
Speaker 1: to have the big feelings about being cold, and he
Speaker 1: was able to get it all out, and honestly, the
Speaker 1: rest of our night was amazing. And I think it's
Speaker 1: because he was able to release it and not told
Speaker 1: to and not told that it wasn't a big deal,
Speaker 1: because it was a big deal to him. And I
Speaker 1: think sometimes we forget that as parents, that our kids
Speaker 1: have a lot going on and it might even be
Speaker 1: more than just about the cold. Yeah, you know, well,
Speaker 1: and just hearing it from an outside of you two
Speaker 1: is I'm thinking about your son and he's only experienced
Speaker 1: this so much of life. And I think as we
Speaker 1: get older, you experienced so much, so you can say
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, but he hasn't experienced enough
Speaker 1: to understand that that is not. In ten years, is
Speaker 1: it going to be a big deal. No, But in
Speaker 1: that moment, it was for him and he had to
Speaker 1: figure that out. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, just so that's
Speaker 1: a parent to parent reminder that we have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to do that with our kids. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I'm perfect. I'm not the expert here. I actually get
Speaker 1: that wisdom from other people that I follow in books
Speaker 1: that I read, and it was just it was an
Speaker 1: opportunity where I got to see it play out and
Speaker 1: it went really really well for us. So that's a
Speaker 1: good moment. It's warrant to also remember the good moments
Speaker 1: for a parent too, because there's a lot of times
Speaker 1: where you can just say, no, I was bad at
Speaker 1: this and I did this wrong. But being a parent
Speaker 1: also comes with like being proud of you. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mess up all the time, but I am proud of
Speaker 1: that moment. Good. I love that one. Great one to share.
Speaker 1: We're moving into another segment that got talked about on
Speaker 1: the show this week, and it's actually about your son.
Speaker 1: He was followed to jiu jitsu from a guy, and
Speaker 1: you shared that story on the show, and we'll just
Speaker 1: let that one kind of play out because you broke
Speaker 1: it down. You shared how the guy followed him and
Speaker 1: what happened after, and you don't have to share any
Speaker 1: more about that. But I do want to talk about
Speaker 1: Halloween because also you have kids, might be doing Halloween things,
Speaker 1: you might be dressing up. I want to hear all
Speaker 1: your Halloween plans. Well, Stevenson's going to be an FBI agent.
Speaker 1: I still don't know, honestly what's happening with Stashira's pirate situation,
Speaker 1: because that has been a whole thing. It's still the pirate, right.
Speaker 1: I don't think she'll trick or treat Stevenson will I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not big into dressing up. I have this skeleton
Speaker 1: onesie thing that I bought a few years ago that
Speaker 1: I might throw on, or I have you know, a
Speaker 1: four Things Halloween themed pull over that I'll probably throw
Speaker 1: on with leggings. Like, I don't know, I'm not big
Speaker 1: in the dress. I'll go walk around with Stevenson and
Speaker 1: he'll get the candy, and then I'll get to enjoy
Speaker 1: some of it and then we'll see what happens from there.
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of just ready for Christmas. I know
Speaker 1: some parents will bring either like a spiked coffee or
Speaker 1: maybe a glass of wine while they're walking trick or treating.
Speaker 1: Do you plan to do that? Oh, yeah, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: do that. It depends. Yeah, just yeah. I could see
Speaker 1: myself having a little cocktail on my walk with maybe
Speaker 1: some of the other moms in my neighborhood. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: got to have fun while they're trigg or treating too.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. A good idea and then yeah,
Speaker 1: come you know midnight, it'll be November, and then we
Speaker 1: will enter into ranksgiving and Christmas, which I am all about.
Speaker 1: I love that it comes right after because I typically
Speaker 1: will take down the few Halloween decorations I have and
Speaker 1: it's like Christmas. This time, we're here. We're ready. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bring it. Okay, well's the best pumpkin flavored item you've
Speaker 1: had this season? Well, I like my pumpkin easy recipe,
Speaker 1: my little pumpkin cookie thingies. There's only two ingredients. I
Speaker 1: love pumpkin anything. Actually, you know, Jenny's ice cream is
Speaker 1: really popular here in Nashville, and so they had a
Speaker 1: pumpkin ice cream. You know what I'm talking about Jenny's.
Speaker 1: If you've ever come to Nashville, you have to go
Speaker 1: to Jenny's. And I think they have them in other
Speaker 1: places too, and there are a few places now. But anyway,
Speaker 1: their pumpkin one was disgusting. Oh it wasn't good. Sorry Jenny's.
Speaker 1: I love gooey butter cake. They have other amazing flavors.
Speaker 1: But me personally, I was very disappointed in the pumpkin
Speaker 1: ice like. It was sort of depressing because I had
Speaker 1: said I had high expectations. So anyway, don't waste your
Speaker 1: money on that unless you just want to try it
Speaker 1: and maybe you'll like it. But my pumpkin cookies would
Speaker 1: be pumpkin spice cake or not. You're just a spice
Speaker 1: cake and then a can of pumpkin puree and you
Speaker 1: mix them together and then you scoop them out like
Speaker 1: a tablespoon or two tae however big you want your
Speaker 1: little fluffy cookies to be, and then you put them
Speaker 1: in the oven like three seventy five or twelve minutes,
Speaker 1: and lalla, you have these cute little pumpkin cookies that
Speaker 1: were two ingredients, so easy to make and you can
Speaker 1: do what you want with them. Leave them like that,
Speaker 1: or you could put some cream cheese frosting on top,
Speaker 1: or maybe make a powdered sugar icing situation and drizzle
Speaker 1: that on top. So there's options from there, but they're
Speaker 1: honestly okay plain. So that is my go to pumpkin thing. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what you like and stick with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's easy, and everybody in my house likes it.
Speaker 1: So I will say the gluten free pumpkin bread and
Speaker 1: muffin mixed from Trader Joe's is amazing. I ended up.
Speaker 1: I bought it once. I added some mini chocolate chips
Speaker 1: to it, made some muffins and they were so good
Speaker 1: that I bought four more boxes of it to keep
Speaker 1: when they stopped selling pumpkin things. Oh wow, so really
Speaker 1: good and it's gluten free, so I was able to
Speaker 1: eat it and safely and not have any issues. But still, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the thing that always wins for me every
Speaker 1: year is the pumpkin cinnamon rolls, also from Trader Joe's.
Speaker 1: Those aren't gluten free, unfortunately, but I still stopped up
Speaker 1: on like five cans of those. So those are the
Speaker 1: two ones you did reach out to me because I
Speaker 1: had tried some pumpkin Alfredo sauce. Yes, and you know,
Speaker 1: amy kind of like the ice cream, kind of severely disappointed,
Speaker 1: like it was good, but I wouldn't get it again, okay,
Speaker 1: And it was very filling, kind of like sweet potatoes
Speaker 1: if you eat sweet potatoes a lot kind of taste
Speaker 1: like you're eating a crap ton of sweet potatoes. Oh well,
Speaker 1: I do love sweet potatoes, so maybe I would like it,
Speaker 1: but I don't know how it like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you get Alfredo, like I want my Alfredo to
Speaker 1: taste like you know that Alfredo. Have you ever had
Speaker 1: a blush pasta that's like Alfredo and Marinera? And no,
Speaker 1: oh maybe probably have I called it? To me that
Speaker 1: seems more like a well, what's the vodka? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that slushy to me? Yeah maybe not, I don't know. No, yeah, similar,
Speaker 1: So it kind of tastes like that, but take out
Speaker 1: the marinara and put pumpkin in. Okay. Yeah, see, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, So I wouldn't buy that one again,
Speaker 1: But it was cool to try. Not as much hated
Speaker 1: as you hated the Jenny's ice cream. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: because that's that ice creams expensive. I was bumped. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I'm going to a Halloween party.
Speaker 1: That's about it. I made dress up as the Scarlet Witch.
Speaker 1: That's what it's been boiled down to, I think. But
Speaker 1: I'm make shifting my own costume. I'm not very good
Speaker 1: at cosplay, so it's kind of making my own turning
Speaker 1: into having black fingers and being the dark hold Scarlet Witch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're a little awesome. Yeah, yeah, we'll see
Speaker 1: you know. Halloween again not my big hot, like favorite holiday,
Speaker 1: but it is my boyfriend, so I'm trying to go
Speaker 1: all out for him. Oh yeah, this is where that
Speaker 1: thing called compromise comes into place, because I know I'm
Speaker 1: dismas rolls around. I'll want to do all the Christmas things,
Speaker 1: so trying. We did have another segment on the show
Speaker 1: this week where I shared about an old friend that
Speaker 1: had borrowed boots and she posted about them and it
Speaker 1: was a whole situation. But I need to ask you
Speaker 1: something not related to these boots, because people online had
Speaker 1: a lot of opinions on the segment and it was
Speaker 1: super funny to watch. But there's something Because I'm on
Speaker 1: social media all the time, I see what people are
Speaker 1: posting in their comments, and not related to this segment,
Speaker 1: but there was a mailbag that we had posted on
Speaker 1: our Facebook page and I saw somebody comment put your
Speaker 1: big girl panties on and get over it. And I didn't.
Speaker 1: I had blocked us out in my life because it
Speaker 1: was so triggering for me. But that was a phrase
Speaker 1: used by a coach that I had back in high
Speaker 1: school that caused a lot of the bullying situation that
Speaker 1: I was in. So when I read that, it was
Speaker 1: immediate trigger and I was like, holy crap, what just
Speaker 1: happened to me? Do you have any phrases or words
Speaker 1: like that that kind of just sent you into a tailspin?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd probably have to think about it.
Speaker 1: It's more so, oh shoot, I don't know the stuff
Speaker 1: I can say. I mean, hey, we can say if
Speaker 1: we need to. Ben No, it's not about bad words.
Speaker 1: It's just about probably very personal things that trigger me
Speaker 1: that I mean, it's probably more of an action that
Speaker 1: is from my childhood that I know. If it happens,
Speaker 1: I am triggered and it does not go well and
Speaker 1: so that's something I have to work through and process.
Speaker 1: But I'll have to leave it at that. This is
Speaker 1: not me trying to be you know, secret about it,
Speaker 1: but I've been working through the difference of secrecy and
Speaker 1: privacy and so that's important. This is one of those things.
Speaker 1: But I will admit so just to offer out that
Speaker 1: you're not alone if you're triggered by something. I think
Speaker 1: we all have triggers as we have them at work,
Speaker 1: we have them in friendships, we have them in romantic relationships,
Speaker 1: we have them as parents. There's and it's normally something
Speaker 1: that goes back and have some deep roots. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: there's definitely things that triggered me. I guess just at
Speaker 1: this very moment, the ones that are coming to mind,
Speaker 1: I feel like are belong with me for right now
Speaker 1: and those that I'm super close to. So yeah, but
Speaker 1: I am triggered, Well, I yeah, sure, I don't want
Speaker 1: to bring anybody up to like think about those things.
Speaker 1: But I had just never been in a place where
Speaker 1: something so random triggered me. And it was because of
Speaker 1: that very specific phrase. Huh. Yeah, And that's something I've
Speaker 1: worked through for years. A long time ago, I had
Speaker 1: worked through that it just and it didn't you know,
Speaker 1: I wasn't like sitting there crying. I was just like,
Speaker 1: holy crap. I forgot how much that phrase really impacted me.
Speaker 1: And still I still carry with it even though I've
Speaker 1: worked through it. Yeah. So also similar to you, and
Speaker 1: that I wanted to offer up if somebody hears something
Speaker 1: and it triggers them, that it just reminds them that
Speaker 1: a lot of people go through that, and it happens
Speaker 1: also be kind on the internet, because you just never
Speaker 1: know how somebody's going to take something. This isn't something
Speaker 1: mean and somebody else can see this and it's not
Speaker 1: a big deal. It just happens to be that that
Speaker 1: was a phrase that happened in my life. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it does remind me too that when I'm commenting and
Speaker 1: engaging with people online that I'm very specific and very
Speaker 1: intentional about what I'm saying, right, because that's important to me.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say something and somebody hears a
Speaker 1: word or phrase or something and they're like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: that hurts. I hope I never use words that are
Speaker 1: like that in the first place. But it just made
Speaker 1: me think about a lot of things. Yeah. Well, and
Speaker 1: even now I'm thinking about that phrase in general, like
Speaker 1: I don't really know how I feel about it now,
Speaker 1: and certainly I've used it and I've even used it
Speaker 1: on myself, like to pe you know, pep talk myself
Speaker 1: in a way like Okay, got a big girl pants on?
Speaker 1: And but now I'm like thinking, why do we even
Speaker 1: say that? Anyway? What I do? It was a very
Speaker 1: common phrase to be do you think mostly for girls,
Speaker 1: did people say put your big boy pants on? I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I do think it was a very
Speaker 1: woman used phrase. See. Yeah, now I'm having negative feelings
Speaker 1: towards that phrase, because then why because we have feelings? Yeah, basically,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what it was to you. We
Speaker 1: were talking about your son and getting him too allowed
Speaker 1: to use all of his feelings when he was feeling
Speaker 1: that after the football game. I think that's similar to
Speaker 1: this phrase and saying hey, get over it. That's what
Speaker 1: this phrase is, is like put your pants on, get
Speaker 1: over you, move on. But it's a big girl pants yeah,
Speaker 1: very specific. Yeah, and so it gives me the creepy
Speaker 1: what is it? The creepy I don't know, creepies to
Speaker 1: me in my head now, So now I can't remember.
Speaker 1: Mike d shared that he saw Gwyneth Paltrow aka Pepper
Speaker 1: Pots at the grocery store in Nashville, which crazy experience
Speaker 1: because she's a major A list star and she was
Speaker 1: just buying some chips. Amy, though you are kind of
Speaker 1: the queen of finding country stars out in public, you
Speaker 1: just happened to see them all the time. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't look for them, no, but what happened to be
Speaker 1: around them there? I see them in parking lots. I
Speaker 1: see them at the grocery store too. I U yeah,
Speaker 1: I bump into them at other appointments that I have,
Speaker 1: like whether it's the dentist or my lash place. I
Speaker 1: see a lot of them at the lashes. Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: But then I can't. I can't. I don't always say
Speaker 1: that that's where it is because I don't know if
Speaker 1: they want people to know that they have lashes. But
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's kind of obvious. Um. But
Speaker 1: then yeah, um hiking run into some hiking. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I want to hear something that you've seen recently recently
Speaker 1: chip Eston hiking, which he's on the show Nashville. I
Speaker 1: mean he has a whole other career besides that, but
Speaker 1: most recently known for that character and what else. Let's see, Um, well,
Speaker 1: Kimberly from a little big town saw her twice at
Speaker 1: two different places. One I'm not specify, but that was
Speaker 1: recently and like twice in a couple of weeks to
Speaker 1: totally different places. Um. But yeah, I mean I've run
Speaker 1: into Dirk Spinley at the grocery store, Brett Eldridge, Kid Moore. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm like, who else have we run into? There's there's
Speaker 1: lots of people I feel like, and I will see
Speaker 1: the area of town, but they're definitely an area of
Speaker 1: town that I see him more often than not. Rebut
Speaker 1: I saw Rebu rotary store, grocery store. I thought one
Speaker 1: time I saw Jake go in, but that was when
Speaker 1: we were wearing masks, and when I got closer it
Speaker 1: was definitely not Jake. But I had already waved, so
Speaker 1: that was awkward. I did. There was a funny one,
Speaker 1: so Chuck Wicks, we were driving on there's a spot
Speaker 1: in downtown Nashville where you end up pulling next to
Speaker 1: cars that are going the opposite direction before or after
Speaker 1: getting on the highway. Basically, it's this intersection where you'll
Speaker 1: sit next to each other, and Chuck and I happened
Speaker 1: to be sitting right next to each other. I was
Speaker 1: going one way and he was coming the other, and
Speaker 1: we just kind of sat there and waved at each
Speaker 1: other in a very awkward situation. Yeah, not because either
Speaker 1: one of us were but it was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: is weird. We're just sitting here right next to each other.
Speaker 1: But get talk because then you immediately start going as
Speaker 1: soon as you talk, So it was like random waving.
Speaker 1: And I did see Hardy at a game bar. You're
Speaker 1: just hanging out with some friends playing some what are
Speaker 1: they called arcade game? Oh? Fun? Yeah? Yeah. See stars
Speaker 1: are just like us. They are. There's so many of them,
Speaker 1: but you see a lot of so I always love
Speaker 1: hearing your stars in the wild stories. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: mean all that's been over the years, but even speaking
Speaker 1: of Kimberly running too, Karen fair Child, who I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think it. I feel like there's one other big
Speaker 1: one that I can't think of right now, and I'm bummed.
Speaker 1: But maybe it'll come to me. Yeah, maybe we're talking
Speaker 1: about the other ones. Okay, Well, in that number one spot,
Speaker 1: Lunchbox spilled the tea on Abby's Las Vegas Romance. And
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna leave that one there. We don't need
Speaker 1: to talk about that one, do we, Amy, We're just
Speaker 1: gonna leave that there, Just leave it right there. Well,
Speaker 1: it happened, as it happens. I have random questions because
Speaker 1: these are the most fun things for me to ask. Y'all,
Speaker 1: we learned some interesting things. Okay, what are three cents?
Speaker 1: You love smells? Yeah, vanilla, pumpkin and pine the Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: Those are so good. Yeah. I love mixing a vanilla
Speaker 1: candle at the same time as like a Christmas tree
Speaker 1: pine candle situation. Yeah, those two smells together are so.
Speaker 1: I have the Pura plug in thing which you run
Speaker 1: through an app and it has two different dispensers or
Speaker 1: the that put the smell out, you know, one the
Speaker 1: left side is vanilla and the right side is pine,
Speaker 1: so it smells like Christmas. Oh have you seen? The
Speaker 1: ads are all over Instagram And if you're listening to
Speaker 1: this right now, your phone is probably going to give
Speaker 1: you an ad for it. Um but my friends Sunday
Speaker 1: she sells them at her shop, The Mocking Bird in
Speaker 1: Southern Pines, North Carolina. Shout out, and I actually bought
Speaker 1: it from her and I love it. I didn't buy
Speaker 1: it from an Instagram ad. And you were before the
Speaker 1: shop local support small businesses and uh then I also
Speaker 1: love those as candles. So those are three smells I
Speaker 1: love all those are so good. You came up with
Speaker 1: those really fast too, Yeah, I were very specific. I
Speaker 1: had the volcano candles. Yeah, those are all good. Good
Speaker 1: Sunday sells those two at the mocking Bird, they are
Speaker 1: I do. I always get those from local places. Um
Speaker 1: cookies in the oven. Yeah, those are really good. And
Speaker 1: then the other one I had was Christmas. I think
Speaker 1: you could probably go with pine similar. That was the
Speaker 1: one I had, just the smell of Christmas whatever that smell. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, what is the dumbest way you've been injured?
Speaker 1: And I can give you a minute to think about it.
Speaker 1: I have I have a story. If you want to
Speaker 1: think about it, Okay, go ahead, because I knock on
Speaker 1: wood like well, I mean I have something, So you
Speaker 1: can either tell your story or I'll just go would
Speaker 1: go for it. Okay, I have never broken anything, but
Speaker 1: I don't like saying that because what if now I
Speaker 1: break something? But I have slipped in the shower before
Speaker 1: and gone to the chiropractor. But my worst chiropractor story
Speaker 1: is when I was twenty four years old and I
Speaker 1: sneezed and then I couldn't get back up. So basically
Speaker 1: a sneeze injured me. Wow. But I think the original
Speaker 1: injury was the shower fall and then that kind of
Speaker 1: hurt my back. And then I worked in heels. It
Speaker 1: was before I got into radio. I worked in sales
Speaker 1: and I wore heels every day, and I think that
Speaker 1: that was doing number on my back. And I was
Speaker 1: at work in heels, bent over to sneeze and could
Speaker 1: not get back up, and my spine was like looked
Speaker 1: like a little twisty thing. My mom had to pick
Speaker 1: me up take me to the doctor. So I would
Speaker 1: say the sneeze, wow, but the back pain originated from elsewhere.
Speaker 1: But still the sneeze is probably just the cherry on
Speaker 1: top of that situation. Yeah, but still it's kind of
Speaker 1: funny to say, you know, a sneeze put me in
Speaker 1: the doctor right for days, like I couldn't walk. It
Speaker 1: was awful. Did they ever say what happened? Did you
Speaker 1: break anything? Or no? Thank goodness, no, I had just
Speaker 1: completely threw me out of whack, and the chiropractor worked
Speaker 1: on getting me back into alignment and then I really
Speaker 1: I have chronic pain in that area. I have my
Speaker 1: whole life. But you know, when I like during COVID,
Speaker 1: it got better because I was not getting dressed up.
Speaker 1: I wasn't wearing heels, boots, anything. I was wearing well
Speaker 1: slippers or sneakers, so my USh that my flare ups
Speaker 1: were less. It's funny you say that because on TikTok
Speaker 1: and don't ask me how to showed up on my algorithm.
Speaker 1: But this woman has been talking about how like they
Speaker 1: have a product that helps basically put your toes back
Speaker 1: to where they're supposed to be, and she lists all
Speaker 1: the different shoes that you should not wear because they're
Speaker 1: actually destroying your feet aka destroying the rest of your body. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm still going to wear them. I know they
Speaker 1: make them so cute. I know, too cute. But yeah,
Speaker 1: if you if your toes are end up in kind
Speaker 1: of an angle shape, that's what happens, and that's really
Speaker 1: bad for you. So you know, just another thing that's
Speaker 1: really bad for us. You've been warned basically when I
Speaker 1: got injured I was on the playground and I was
Speaker 1: sitting on a swing set, and a kid who apparently
Speaker 1: had a crush on me at the time, thought it
Speaker 1: would be really funny to throw a dodgeball at me.
Speaker 1: I put my hand up to block it from my face,
Speaker 1: broke my middle finger. Oh yeah, that sucks. Yeah. Those
Speaker 1: are pretty dumb injury because it could have been easily
Speaker 1: avoided had a boy not thought it was a good
Speaker 1: idea to throw a dodgeball at me because he likes me,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of cute, and then you got to
Speaker 1: give him the middle finger the rest of the time, basically,
Speaker 1: and your little cast we never dated. Obviously, that never
Speaker 1: worked out for him. So dumb injuries are pretty fun stories.
Speaker 1: If you were to relocate because you were forced to
Speaker 1: leave the country, where would you go the country? Yep,
Speaker 1: you have to leave the United States for to live. Yep,
Speaker 1: you have to relocate permanently. I don't know. I have
Speaker 1: never been to Canada, but I want to go, and
Speaker 1: that's close to the United States, so Canadada. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would go probably really somewhere in Europe. But then
Speaker 1: now I'm scared because I'm across the pond, so I
Speaker 1: or emotions away from America. So there's I have so
Speaker 1: many questions, why and why do I have to leave?
Speaker 1: Is my family still in America? Don't I want to
Speaker 1: be able to cross the border easily. It's not an option.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Canada. Canadas it going. I
Speaker 1: didn't even think about that when I was putting that
Speaker 1: question together. That was a really logical, good answer. What's yours?
Speaker 1: I mean it would have been Europe like, just because
Speaker 1: I love Europe and they have a lot of universal
Speaker 1: healthcare and nice things. Canada does as well. See soon,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna be coming to Canada with you. That
Speaker 1: was a very logical, thought out answer. Yeah. Mine was
Speaker 1: like dream World. Country radio is still big there. I
Speaker 1: could have a job. They seem nice. See this is
Speaker 1: where your life experience helps me. Megan Marlin, Prince Terry
Speaker 1: did they live there? I think they did end up
Speaker 1: moving there at one point. That was very That was
Speaker 1: a great one. Who is your all time favorite Disney character?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, well maybe oh this is hard, but Ariel,
Speaker 1: I love Little Mermaid. Maybe because the other day I
Speaker 1: was at an event and I didn't have a brush
Speaker 1: and I needed to brush my hair and I used
Speaker 1: a plastic fork and I thought of her and it
Speaker 1: really worked out well. I mean I was video, yes,
Speaker 1: I just was in that my hair needed to be
Speaker 1: like fluffed out because I'm liking that brushed out look lately.
Speaker 1: I don't know. My hairdresser told me that, I don't
Speaker 1: last time she wanded my hair when I got my hair,
Speaker 1: and she put a brush through it at the end,
Speaker 1: and she'd never done that before. She was like, I'm
Speaker 1: loving this look. I think she maybe said it's big
Speaker 1: in Australia right now, but I have no idea what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And I thought, you know what, I
Speaker 1: kind of liked this brushed out look. So I got
Speaker 1: it from her wherever she got it from whatever country,
Speaker 1: and I so I've started to want it. And I
Speaker 1: was about to have to go on stage and I
Speaker 1: hadn't brushed my hair in a little bit, and I
Speaker 1: looked in my bag and I forgot my brush. So
Speaker 1: I took the fork and tried to do the best
Speaker 1: that I could with the fork, but you know, it
Speaker 1: didn't quite give me the same vibe, but a little
Speaker 1: bit I got a little bit of the brushed out
Speaker 1: I like it. Okay, little little Mermaid. I think I
Speaker 1: would go with Mulan. Yeah, she's very badass. That's the
Speaker 1: best way I can describe her. She's just somebody who
Speaker 1: knew what she wanted to do and she went after it.
Speaker 1: And I've always just admired people like that, and I
Speaker 1: feel like Mulan does that for me. Yeah, instead of
Speaker 1: being the princess I gets rescued from the tower, she
Speaker 1: rescues herself. Love that. Yes, this is the very last one.
Speaker 1: Who would you want to trade lives with for it
Speaker 1: one day? Could be anybody you want. Well, gosh, that
Speaker 1: is hard. Um. Well, the first person that came to
Speaker 1: my brain, so I'll just be honest with the first person.
Speaker 1: It was Reese Witherspoon, m and then Nicole Kidman also
Speaker 1: popped into my head. But yeah, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really know exactly why, Probably just because I adore them both,
Speaker 1: But maybe Reese. When she's and I'm her, I'm not
Speaker 1: me in her body, but I'm me, but I'm also her.
Speaker 1: So I feel like when I when I'm meet in her,
Speaker 1: I'm learning her. Like in her, I get to be
Speaker 1: her and how she is. Yeah, so I'm taking day
Speaker 1: so then when I emerged to my own body the
Speaker 1: next day. I have a lot of Reese Witherspoon wisdom
Speaker 1: now in me. You just elevated this question, but I
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah, because I feel like I could learn
Speaker 1: a lot from her, and it'd be fun to be
Speaker 1: on a movie set playing a Reese character. Yes, and
Speaker 1: then when the movie comes out, I'll be like, I know,
Speaker 1: for one of those filming days I was in her body.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's yours. No, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I think mine would be Zendaya. I love her. She's
Speaker 1: i mean, just massive superstar and she's so kind and
Speaker 1: does so many cool things for the world and people,
Speaker 1: and I feel like it'd be really cool to just
Speaker 1: see what her a day in the life is like
Speaker 1: for her and as the way you put it, just
Speaker 1: be her for a day. Yeah, it'd be crazy. Take notes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: take all the notes. We have a full journal injury
Speaker 1: for like several days, I know. And then if people
Speaker 1: reach your journal name might thank you, c put you
Speaker 1: away somewhere, but this person has you was somebody else? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay, well, Amy, thank you for joining me.
Speaker 1: We're gonna total like behind the scenes thing that happened.
Speaker 1: Amy and I started recording. In about seventeen minutes into it,
Speaker 1: we realized Amy's microphone somebody turned it off in this
Speaker 1: little studio thing that we're in. We are professionals, so
Speaker 1: that's why that's not our fault, but we should have
Speaker 1: noticed it all. But we were just having such a
Speaker 1: good time talking and then we heard over and yeah,
Speaker 1: just a little behind the scenes, so that's why it's
Speaker 1: shorter than usual, but it's not very I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: still thirty five minutes of Amy and I just talking
Speaker 1: about life. So I hope you enjoyed it. But Amy,
Speaker 1: tell the people where they can find you, where they
Speaker 1: can hear you at radio Amy on Socials, and then
Speaker 1: if you happen to be near which at all. Next weekend,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be there for my first ever live
Speaker 1: taping of my podcast, which is four Things with Amy Brown,
Speaker 1: and I'm so excited. We've been working so hard on
Speaker 1: this night and it's just going to be a night
Speaker 1: of connection and stories and guidance and fun and laughter
Speaker 1: and kind of all the fields. And I've always been
Speaker 1: pretty passionate about sharing what I can about my life
Speaker 1: and as much as possible, you know, when it makes
Speaker 1: sense that whole secrecy versus privacy type thing. And I'm
Speaker 1: excited to do that face to face because you know,
Speaker 1: we have an audience and we have listeners of this
Speaker 1: show and the podcast and whatnot, but like to see
Speaker 1: actual faces. I'm so pumped about that. So there's still
Speaker 1: a few seats left. If anybody wants to come, you

Speaker 1: how it's unfolded and it's coming together and it's going
Speaker 1: to be good to see not only the people, but
Speaker 1: then I guess at the end of the night too,
Speaker 1: be proud of myself for doing something, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fear around something like this
Speaker 1: on my own. You know, I don't I don't even
Speaker 1: know why or what the roots of it are, but
Speaker 1: I just did. And so I'm excited to kind of
Speaker 1: get to the end of the night and be able
Speaker 1: to look at myself and just be like, you did it.
Speaker 1: It was a hard thing for you, and you you
Speaker 1: still did it, and that will be the special part
Speaker 1: and my sister is going to be there, so I
Speaker 1: think that'll be need. My best rood from high school
Speaker 1: is coming as well, and Kat, who's a therapist, she'll
Speaker 1: be there on hand. That's the guidance part. I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm a little bit of a guide in a way,
Speaker 1: but I'm not the expert. I feel like I'm a guide.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be sharing certain things that I've that
Speaker 1: I've realized about myself and then you know what tools
Speaker 1: worked for me. But then Kat is going to kind
Speaker 1: of be the expert, because I don't ever want to be.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to kind of come alongside people, not
Speaker 1: pointing at people and tell them you need to do
Speaker 1: this for your life. For you know. No, I love it.
