Speaker 1: Best Bits of the Week with Morgan listener Q and
Speaker 1: a what's up Everybody? Happy weekend listener Q and A
Speaker 1: time Abby is with me? Make sure you go check
Speaker 1: out Part one. We talked about the boyfriend. You guys
Speaker 1: have lots of questions about that, but that was already
Speaker 1: planned to talk about in part one. So we talked
Speaker 1: all about our boyfriend and we got some weekend updates
Speaker 1: and things that are happening and things we recently learned
Speaker 1: that it's all fun for now. Starting with some shout outs.
Speaker 1: Kaylee from Virginia, I'm your age and miss the what
Speaker 1: do blank your olds care about? Segment where I used
Speaker 1: to do what twenty three year olds care about? Twenty four?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I think we stopped carring with thirty
Speaker 1: year olds care about. I got old after thirty.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, all uphill from here, down hill
Speaker 2: whatever you're bille hill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're both my favorites. Things were always being real,
Speaker 1: even when it's tough. So I don't know who that
Speaker 1: was from now I deleted my le thing really makes
Speaker 1: me angry, I think, he said, Kaylee. Kaylee was the
Speaker 1: first one. Oh, she was the twenty of the segment.
Speaker 1: Oh gotcha, kinda okay, we're getting into some questions, Abby,
Speaker 1: What is your dream punishment for Lunchbox? Not when the
Speaker 1: show is used? Oh my god, Chris in Massachusetts. That's
Speaker 1: such a kind of question.
Speaker 3: My dream punishment would be that he can't talk on
Speaker 3: the show for a week.
Speaker 2: Oh, or like when he comes in, No, when he
Speaker 2: gets to work, like he's not able to speak.
Speaker 1: That would be really good.
Speaker 3: Except he can play games. He can play games.
Speaker 1: Why are you being nice to him? He went from
Speaker 1: like not at all, not even when he walks in
Speaker 1: the door. Oh, he can play games.
Speaker 3: Actually, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's really funny, though, I don't think he give you it.
Speaker 2: And then every time he does say a word, it
Speaker 2: has to go another week or another day because I
Speaker 2: feel like he can't just like not talk.
Speaker 3: He always has some comment to make.
Speaker 1: It's so true. I mean, even when we're on breaks
Speaker 1: and stuff, he comes in and he tries to crack
Speaker 1: jokes or saying like really.
Speaker 2: Like you know, when he's coming in his entrance, he's
Speaker 2: always like happy New Year.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what are you saying?
Speaker 1: Sometime and he gets mad at you if you don't like, uh,
Speaker 1: what's the right word. If you don't like go along
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 3: Like play into it, yeah, or like what'd you do
Speaker 3: last night? At midnight, I'll be.
Speaker 1: Like working, be like happy New Year, and I just
Speaker 1: won't say anything. I'll be working. I'm like I don't
Speaker 1: have any thing to respond to, and he'll be like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: because it was a bad day. I'm like, I'm literally
Speaker 1: working and you'd come in saying Happy New Year. If
Speaker 1: you came in and say like good morning and be
Speaker 1: like hello, good morning, you say happy new Year? Yes,
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to say? Okay, you say every
Speaker 1: morning every morning joke.
Speaker 3: But Scuba does go along with it every time, like
Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, I'm pretty hung over today. I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, you guys they do it every time,
Speaker 3: every day.
Speaker 1: And I think maybe you're just not carrying on the joke.
Speaker 1: You don't care anymore. So that's why all of us
Speaker 1: don't respond. Everybody else doesn't respond because a Scuba.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really think that would be a good punishment.
Speaker 2: It would kill him to not talk.
Speaker 1: Okay, not long. Have that in your back pocket, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, mmm, I like that just in case how
Speaker 1: do you feel chasing your singing dreams? So proud of
Speaker 1: her Shilah in California.
Speaker 3: How do I feel chasing them?
Speaker 2: It's it's fun, It's I don't know, it's hard. I
Speaker 2: feel like Nashville. It's it's getting in my head again.
Speaker 2: It's like when I first moved here.
Speaker 1: Are you having an imposter syndrome?
Speaker 2: I am, yeah, very much so, especially like with the
Speaker 2: show and everything. And then I take like Lunchbox's opinion
Speaker 2: to her and it's annoying, and then I listen to comments.
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to do it for me and it's fun.
Speaker 2: But I'm slow and steady wins the race.
Speaker 3: Like I'm just doing one song at a time.
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to like pressure myself to put out
Speaker 2: this like huge album thing. I'm just doing it like
Speaker 2: for me, and I want to come up with like
Speaker 2: memorable songs and like ones that are important and personal
Speaker 2: to me, not just put out a song.
Speaker 3: So but I think it's going well.
Speaker 2: I'm learning a lot, Like I'm just learning a lot
Speaker 2: about how everything works. Because this last song was like
Speaker 2: my first one that like it's crazy, how did it
Speaker 2: like I sent them? Just like the demo, you know,
Speaker 2: like it was basically just acoustic guitar of one of
Speaker 2: my co writers, like singing along, and they had a
Speaker 2: full band coming studio. I was on like zoom, like
Speaker 2: I could hear it. I wasn't in studio, but it
Speaker 2: was in Nashville, and they just like play after listening
Speaker 2: to just that little demo, and then they just like
Speaker 2: play and they're like, Okay, I'm gonna add electric guitar here,
Speaker 2: and then they do it again. They're like okay, we'll
Speaker 2: add drums and it is just like the most insane
Speaker 2: thing I've ever seen. And they did that in less
Speaker 2: than forty five minutes, made the song out of nothing wild.
Speaker 1: It was video that next time.
Speaker 2: I know, I wish I could that was like the
Speaker 2: coolest thing. I wish I could have been there, But
Speaker 2: I guess he does it. They they're in a different
Speaker 2: studio and so they just like patch me and so
Speaker 2: I can hear and then they're like, ahbe do you
Speaker 2: have any changes you want? And it's crazy. So next
Speaker 2: time I'm'll be like can I record this or can
Speaker 2: you record it?
Speaker 3: Because this is wild. I didn't know that's how they
Speaker 3: did it.
Speaker 1: That's such a cool experience. Also, just so you know,
Speaker 1: it's normal for you to have multiple different emotions as
Speaker 1: you're trying and pursuing a dream of yours. It's very
Speaker 1: normal so for you to not be like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: this is the most exciting thing ever. I cannot that
Speaker 1: makes sense, Like, I know, you're chasing something that's brand
Speaker 1: new and foreign to you in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm basically just like releasing it just I
Speaker 2: mean a lot of it's for me too, Like personally,
Speaker 2: it's not like I'm trying to be Carrie Underwood or whatever.
Speaker 2: Like I'm just putting it out there and hopefully someone
Speaker 2: like can relate to the songs. I feel like a
Speaker 2: lot of people can relate to ex boyfriend material, like
Speaker 2: because I can, and a lot of my friends, most
Speaker 2: of my friends in Nashville.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that and Hay their hometown. I think both of
Speaker 1: them are wonderful songs, like so far You've done awesome, Abby,
Speaker 1: I give yourself a little pat on the back for
Speaker 1: both of those so far.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: And I love like the positive feedback. That's what makes
Speaker 2: it worth it too. When people are like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: I can relate or it helped me do this. I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's why we do this, that's why you do things
Speaker 2: like that's why you.
Speaker 1: Chasted those dreams. Yeah, try and let go the imposters
Speaker 1: in room. I'm proud of you too.
Speaker 3: Well. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Will you be performing your new song soon? Rebecca and
Speaker 1: New York.
Speaker 2: I don't have anything in the works. Okay, I don't live,
Speaker 2: but hope too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be fun, all right. I like it, is
Speaker 1: there money coming in from the new song yet? Congrats
Speaker 1: lives in Oklahoma?
Speaker 3: No, there is not.
Speaker 2: I think it takes a long time because like even
Speaker 2: with and honestly, I didn't even really check. Actually I
Speaker 2: did get a check from B and my it was
Speaker 2: like less than a hundred.
Speaker 1: Bucks or hey, their hometown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after a year okay, so like you don't make
Speaker 2: them very much, but.
Speaker 1: So like one penny a day.
Speaker 3: That's really sad. Hey, I could calculate it maybe, Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the perspective of this is that before you didn't
Speaker 1: even make a penny a day for any song that
Speaker 1: you had, so exactly you have to start somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does take a while and then you like
Speaker 2: distribute it out to your songwriters. Also because they get
Speaker 2: part of it too, so but.
Speaker 1: You had to distribute the under one hundred dollars to
Speaker 1: your other.
Speaker 2: Not for that one. There's like a different one for streaming.
Speaker 2: I guess that one's like downloads or radio plays. I
Speaker 2: honestly don't even know how it works. See that's what
Speaker 2: I'm still learning. I'm out here just like so confused,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I didn't even like plan on making
Speaker 2: money off of it, honestly.
Speaker 1: You're just putting it out to put out music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so that's I don't really know. But like
Speaker 2: sometime I'll actually dig into it because I do want
Speaker 2: to know. But it's very confusing, like all the numbers
Speaker 2: you have to like sign when you turn in your song,
Speaker 2: you have to put in all these numbers like percentages,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 3: I hope I'm doing this right.
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, well we're just gonna try for this
Speaker 1: and hope it works out.
Speaker 3: Just submit it there.
Speaker 1: It goes the life of an independent artist exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Very different. Are you and Eddie Coole after the whole
Speaker 1: guitar incident for your gig, Tim.
Speaker 2: We are cool, Like we talked about it, and it
Speaker 2: never really was a thing it. I think it was
Speaker 2: a lot more dramatic like on air because we had
Speaker 2: talked about it before all of that came out, and
Speaker 2: he was like, Aby, I really don't care one way
Speaker 2: or the other, like I don't care.
Speaker 3: Like he was with us. He wants to be with
Speaker 3: his family.
Speaker 2: And I was like, are you sure, Like you're not
Speaker 2: going to be offended if I go a different direction.
Speaker 2: He's like, no, I really it's up to you, like
Speaker 2: it's your gig, gets up to you. So that whole
Speaker 2: thing was awkward for me on air, But I think
Speaker 2: we're good, Like we're definitely good.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well it's him asking the hard questions over here, Mike.
Speaker 3: Actually that was awkward for a long time on air.
Speaker 1: We're in the breathing area now we are. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. We
Speaker 1: did talk about this in a little bit more detail
Speaker 1: on part one. But Ashley in Massachusetts wants to know
Speaker 1: if you think you're man aka she said, is the one.
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 2: Which is weird, Like, yeah, it's very crazy to think
Speaker 2: about because I'm always been like I talk myself out
Speaker 2: of things, but this time. I actually don't want to, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't see red flags, which with the other guys
Speaker 2: are just like nonso walking red flags like ex boy
Speaker 2: for material.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird. Do you see beige flags?
Speaker 2: No, I there's like where they're there are quirks where
Speaker 2: you're like, I can live with that. I really don't
Speaker 2: even see those, which is weird, which could be a
Speaker 2: red flags.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know when your love things are different, you
Speaker 1: just never know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I know, but I just don't.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's been long enough at this point
Speaker 2: where I would start.
Speaker 1: Like seeing experiencing some of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: Have you guys been together now?
Speaker 3: We met in October, so.
Speaker 1: Almost a year. Yeah, you guys can have big year celebrations.
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't even know. I don't probably probably because
Speaker 3: that's a big deal to me.
Speaker 1: Hey, if it's a big deal to you, it should
Speaker 1: be a big deal to him.
Speaker 2: Well, I just feel like it's a big deal to
Speaker 2: like celebrate finding somebody good because, as you know.
Speaker 3: It's hard.
Speaker 1: That is true. That is true, It's important to celebrate
Speaker 1: the good loves.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Most memorable date with cheesehead Kelly Fril, Florida.
Speaker 2: Oh, my god, most memorable one. I mean probably, shoot,
Speaker 2: that's hard priorly my birthday, and I know I already
Speaker 2: talked about it in the other part, but that one
Speaker 2: just was way different because we got to dress up,
Speaker 2: and usually they're just way more casual, you know, we
Speaker 2: just like go watch a game or something.
Speaker 1: What was your guys's first day? Have you ever shared that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Our first day? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: So it was in like an area it's called twelve South,
Speaker 2: and it was supposed to be at like a restaurant
Speaker 2: on Friday night, and we went in there. We didn't
Speaker 2: make a reservation. I don't think they took reservations. Actually
Speaker 2: I know now they did on open table, but we
Speaker 2: didn't check that. We were just like, okay, it'll probably
Speaker 2: be open. So we went and I remember him standing
Speaker 2: there and he was just kind of looking like it
Speaker 2: was the first time I saw him, and he was
Speaker 2: looking like, oh, shoot, this isn't good. Like I think
Speaker 2: he felt bad that they weren't accepting anybody else for dinner.
Speaker 2: And I was like, there were so many empty tables,
Speaker 2: but they were like, no, we're not accepting yourself, Like
Speaker 2: that's weird. So we just went to a pizza place
Speaker 2: next door and just had I was like, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna have one beer. That's when I was like, no,
Speaker 2: this is just gonna be an hour. I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: one beer and I'm gonna leave. And then it ended
Speaker 2: up being like five hours because remember I made.
Speaker 3: That rule for myself to like not give away too much.
Speaker 2: But I was like, why why do that when I'm
Speaker 2: having a good time. I don't know, our schedules are crazy,
Speaker 2: why not just like continue to get to know them.
Speaker 1: So that was now here you guys are.
Speaker 2: I think that also could be like my most memorable
Speaker 2: one because like it was just so it didn't go
Speaker 2: as planned, and then we bounced from that place to
Speaker 2: another bar and it was just when things aren't planned,
Speaker 2: maybe that's like the best.
Speaker 1: The flow is better and more easy going. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just like really fun. I didn't want
Speaker 2: to leave, but then I left. But also after that,
Speaker 2: so this is like the awkward moment when they're like
Speaker 2: do you let him walk you to.
Speaker 3: Your car or not?
Speaker 2: And I like, I don't know. On first dates, I
Speaker 2: just kind of closed up. I don't want to kiss
Speaker 2: on the first day. I've just kind of always been
Speaker 2: that way. I just want to like pick it slow, okay,
Speaker 2: And that makes give like any impression that I want
Speaker 2: to hook up.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've just always been that way. And so he was like,
Speaker 2: can I walk you to your car? And I was
Speaker 2: like that's okay, and I did a side hug. I
Speaker 2: literally just did a side hug, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: good to meet you. And he was like, I don't
Speaker 2: even I didn't even know if you wanted to see
Speaker 2: me again. I was like, I made this is five hours,
Speaker 2: but I guess that would make it very confusing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I give me some mixed signals there, you know,
Speaker 1: just definite mixing friend interesting because side hug's for sure
Speaker 1: friend territory.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, my body language on that one. I was
Speaker 3: just like, well, nice to meet you, side hug.
Speaker 1: Bye, just five hours with you, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if I like you.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I do that.
Speaker 1: I close up.
Speaker 3: It's just the awkward car moment.
Speaker 1: No, you know what you made it though, like you
Speaker 1: guys have been dating, so it works out for you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the awkward parts of them are the moments like
Speaker 1: for sure, okay, do you think you'll move out of
Speaker 1: Tennessee one day. Would you go back home Emily in Texas?
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I love Nashville a lot. I don't know if Kansas,
Speaker 2: I just feel like there's not enough there. But I
Speaker 2: do want to be closer to family. So that's something
Speaker 2: I struggle with every day. It really is like I
Speaker 2: don't know where it's where life is gonna take you
Speaker 2: take me or us or whatever.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. That's like that's TVD right now.
Speaker 1: Very very fair answer. Okay. And this last one is
Speaker 1: I think a few people have this question. Is it awkward?
Speaker 1: It's it's okay, it's directed at me? Is it awkward
Speaker 1: when Dustin Lynch comes in studio Stephanie and Saint Louis Uh? No?
Speaker 1: I mean it was fine. I just like I just
Speaker 1: acted like it was any guy had ever gone on
Speaker 1: a date with or had an interaction with before that
Speaker 1: didn't turn out well, it was just like, okay, here
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 3: Did you avoid eye contact?
Speaker 1: I mean no, I was taking pictures of him. Yes,
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I had to straight up look at him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did he I don't think he made eye contact with
Speaker 1: me though.
Speaker 3: Was it obvious? Like if if he had been in before.
Speaker 2: Does he say hi to everybody like you Eddie lunchbox
Speaker 2: or he just kind of walks in.
Speaker 1: He kind of walks in like says hi to everybody.
Speaker 1: But there's some people that come in and hug all
Speaker 1: of us or like say hi to each of us individually.
Speaker 1: He's never done that anyway, So it was kind of
Speaker 1: the same. I mean, maybe a little bit awkward in
Speaker 1: the very first moment when he walked in and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I haven't seen you in a year
Speaker 1: and last time it was a little awkward, but you
Speaker 1: still got that bracelet kid. But after that, like Initial'll
Speaker 1: be like okay, And then I was like, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: What it is, Like, what am I going to do
Speaker 1: is sit there and be like, oh my gosh, I'm
Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. Don't let him in here, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: Like, So, did you want Bobby to bring it up
Speaker 2: to address it or you're glad he didn't it all?
Speaker 1: No, I think I'm glad he didn't. I mean, because
Speaker 1: what are we well in.
Speaker 2: The I guess lunchbox more lunch box bringing it up
Speaker 2: in like a weird way to make you.
Speaker 1: Feel you know, I mean, you could have and I
Speaker 1: would have been, fine, Yeah, I'm glad you didn't because
Speaker 1: there isn't anything to bring up at this point, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I am glad like they
Speaker 1: didn't be like, oh she's single again. I would I
Speaker 1: would have. I would have punched somebody be like guys like,
Speaker 1: I would have been, let's not do that. No, I'm
Speaker 1: I think I'm glad that we just you know, move on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think yeah. People are very curious to that interaction,
Speaker 3: what that was like. And I couldn't see.
Speaker 2: I saw the back of your head, so I didn't
Speaker 2: know what was happening. I wonder if you like looked
Speaker 2: her or if it even was awkward.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I mean I acted the same way in there as
Speaker 1: I typically do with any artist that comes in there.
Speaker 1: I take the photos of them, I go back to
Speaker 1: working after I get my photos, and that's what it is.
Speaker 1: And I'll say higher by like if they addressed me
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But I just yeah, I in the
Speaker 1: same way. But yeah, maybe in that very first initial
Speaker 1: when he came in, I was like, oh, that feels weird,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, okay, it's gone. I kind
Speaker 1: of just like let it pass, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's the answer.
Speaker 3: Now I'm getting like cringe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know whatever.
Speaker 2: No, I thought it was a good interview and he
Speaker 2: didn't act weird, so that's cool.
Speaker 1: No, that's fine. I don't have anything to say. But
Speaker 1: maybe that's the awkward part right where I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I'm so indifferent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it wasn't a big deal. Yeah, like it.
Speaker 1: I think that people expect me to have like a
Speaker 1: reaction is more of the thing that's awkward, where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you want me to be angry. You want me to
Speaker 1: be like why do you like? Yeah, what am I
Speaker 1: going to do? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I really should be awkward.
Speaker 1: No, it was all good. Okay, we're all done. We're
Speaker 1: wrapping this party up. I love it once again. Tell
Speaker 1: them where they can find you here you all that good.
