Speaker 1: What's up, y'all, It's Morgan here. This is the Best
Speaker 1: Bits podcast in case you haven't listened to before. What
Speaker 1: I do is break down the Bobby Bone Show from
Speaker 1: this week. I share seven segments that were the best ones,
Speaker 1: and then I talk about other like things. And normally
Speaker 1: I would bring on another show member, but this weekend
Speaker 1: it's just me, you and me. I'm going to be
Speaker 1: asking questions for myself that maybe you can also answer
Speaker 1: a long while you're listening. And you know, it may
Speaker 1: be weird because we've never done this before, but we're
Speaker 1: going to give it a try. So we're just gonna
Speaker 1: dive right in. Coming in hot to the number seven spot.
Speaker 1: This week, Bobby shared his top reasons he's annoyed right now.
Speaker 1: He shared five A lot going on in his life,
Speaker 1: and I think everyone can relate to that. There's crazy
Speaker 1: things happening in the world right now, and being annoyed
Speaker 1: is maybe the best emotion you can have, you know.
Speaker 1: And for me, I'm not annoyed per se, but for
Speaker 1: the last month I've been on a gluten free, sugar
Speaker 1: free diet and it's totally even killer. Like you want
Speaker 1: to talk about changing lifestyles, and doing something that you've
Speaker 1: never done before. So I found out that I am
Speaker 1: gluten sensitive and my body gets pretty inflamed when I
Speaker 1: consume a lot of sugar. And for someone who has
Speaker 1: a sweet tooth, I was eating stuff with sugar all
Speaker 1: the time. Not only was I eating it in all
Speaker 1: my processed foods, but I was also just eating sweets
Speaker 1: all the time. I needed chocolate or I needed some
Speaker 1: kind of candy after I would have my usual meals.
Speaker 1: And it was like this huge habit for me that
Speaker 1: you know, I knew it wasn't great, but I didn't
Speaker 1: know it was really kind of hurting my immune system.
Speaker 1: And so I had went to a nutritionist, which is
Speaker 1: what I've been doing the last several weeks. And so
Speaker 1: I've been gluten free and sugar free for a little
Speaker 1: over a month now, and it really has changed things
Speaker 1: for me, like I feel so much better. But that
Speaker 1: all being said, it's still incredibly hard, and I get
Speaker 1: annoyed when I'm like, oh, crap, I got actually cook
Speaker 1: a meal because she wants to, you know, me to
Speaker 1: be eating whole foods and not processed foods. So I
Speaker 1: have to cook pretty much all of my meals, though
Speaker 1: I will say if I have found my favorite crackers
Speaker 1: ever that are gluten free and you know, pretty healthy
Speaker 1: for you. They're the brand crunch Master, and the Sea
Speaker 1: salt flavor is amazing. I now buy multiple whole bags
Speaker 1: of it at the store and I eat it with cheese,
Speaker 1: and that's like my snack that I always do. I
Speaker 1: also have been eating a lot of Bonza pasta, which
Speaker 1: is gluten free and like high protein pasta. Then I'll
Speaker 1: make some like egg scrambles with peppers and potatoes and listen.
Speaker 1: All I know is I've been trying to learn so
Speaker 1: much about cooking whole foods like I could cook before,
Speaker 1: but man, I was, you know, cooking things that I
Speaker 1: really didn't care about what was going to my body.
Speaker 1: I was just cooking all the good stuff, right, So
Speaker 1: now I have to like cook on these whole foods
Speaker 1: and it has been totally challenging and also fun because
Speaker 1: I do honestly, I feel so much better and a
Speaker 1: lot of the immune system problems and the thyroid problems
Speaker 1: that I was having before are starting to go away.
Speaker 1: This all accompanied with some supplements, but it's been a
Speaker 1: game changer. So you know, I highly suggest if you
Speaker 1: are dealing with some chronic issues and stuff. Diet is
Speaker 1: a huge part of that and I have just learned
Speaker 1: so much, but it is annoying and it's definitely a
Speaker 1: new adventure in itself that I have been on lately.
Speaker 1: So there's that, and now we've got coming in at
Speaker 1: the number six spot. Dylan Scott was on this show
Speaker 1: this week and he was totally awesome. The interview was
Speaker 1: super fun. He performed some new songs for us off
Speaker 1: his new album. And remember, just recently we got the
Speaker 1: news that we can only play five seconds of a
Speaker 1: song on a podcast now. So if you're hearing that
Speaker 1: on the podcast and you're like, what's happening? Are they
Speaker 1: messing with me? Did I do something? Know like we
Speaker 1: can only play five seconds now due to licensing restrictions.
Speaker 1: So it's not you guys. But you can check out
Speaker 1: the full performance on Bobby bones dot com or our
Speaker 1: YouTube page. Saw Bobby Bones Show. That's still there for now.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer that I'll stay there,
Speaker 1: but you know, for now it is. All the performances
Speaker 1: are still up there, so check them out why you can,
Speaker 1: And you know, I wanted to do something fun here
Speaker 1: I've been doing random questions with show members, but I
Speaker 1: wanted to do a different version since it's just me.
Speaker 1: This weekend, I googled questions to help you get to
Speaker 1: know yourself better. So I'm going to answer something for
Speaker 1: me and maybe you can answer them for yourself along
Speaker 1: with me. Okay, So one of these questions are what
Speaker 1: are my strengths? And I'm sitting here and I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do like three really solid ones that I
Speaker 1: know are pretty consistent. One of them is that I'm
Speaker 1: very driven. I work really hard and I make sure
Speaker 1: to always get my jobs done, sometimes a little bit
Speaker 1: too much. You know. I don't have the best work
Speaker 1: life balance. Sometimes it also comes with being a social
Speaker 1: media director. You really don't get to have work life balance.
Speaker 1: There's not an hour or a time that I really
Speaker 1: get to be one hundred percent off. But that is
Speaker 1: one that I'm proud of, at least, that I'm driven.
Speaker 1: I'm very confident in myself. It's taken me a long
Speaker 1: time to get where I'm at right now, and I'm hopeful,
Speaker 1: you know. I often try to always see the best
Speaker 1: in people and be hopeful about the world and believe
Speaker 1: in the best things. Instead of being pessimistic, I'm pessimistic. Pessimistic,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty optimistic so hopeful. It's definitely one of my
Speaker 1: strong ones too. Then there's another question we've got what
Speaker 1: are my long term goals? Well, so I'm working on
Speaker 1: one right now that I really can't wait to share
Speaker 1: with all of you guys, because it's been one that
Speaker 1: has been in the works for a while and has
Speaker 1: definitely taken up a lot of my extra time that
Speaker 1: I do have that I'm not working. But I do
Speaker 1: want to do something eventually with food because I've always
Speaker 1: been a big believer that food connects us in ways
Speaker 1: that we really can't connect to others. Like nobody can
Speaker 1: really argue about food. You might argue about it, but
Speaker 1: you're not actually full and angry with anyone for having
Speaker 1: a different opinion about food. So I would love to
Speaker 1: do something with food, like doing a food review or
Speaker 1: a TV show of some kind. And you know, of course,
Speaker 1: another long term goal is to be married one day.
Speaker 1: That would be awesome whatever that looks like in my future.
Speaker 1: So there's some kind of long term goals and another
Speaker 1: one of these questions, and here are what do I
Speaker 1: like to do for fun. And I also hope you
Speaker 1: guys are answering these about yourself along with me, because seriously,
Speaker 1: these made me think about things that I You know,
Speaker 1: you always think about kind of your subconscious brain, but
Speaker 1: you never really like put on blast and answer them
Speaker 1: to yourself. Rather, you may answer them in conversations with
Speaker 1: other people. But one of them is what do I
Speaker 1: like to do for fun? You know? I really love
Speaker 1: being active, so working out, hiking, going for walks with
Speaker 1: my dog Remy, boxing and adult gymnastics newly, but also
Speaker 1: like I really enjoy spending time with Remy and staying
Speaker 1: home watching movies. I have become such a recluse as
Speaker 1: I've gotten older. I'm super outgoing and I love socializing,
Speaker 1: but also after the pandemic, I just have realized that
Speaker 1: people are very inconsiderate and rude now, so me being
Speaker 1: out in public is not as enjoyable as it once
Speaker 1: used to be, which is pretty sad. So I really
Speaker 1: do love spending time with Remy, especially on my weekends
Speaker 1: when I'm not having to work, and just watching movies
Speaker 1: and kind of letting my mind not think about anything.
Speaker 1: Because also with socializing the thing that we don't talk
Speaker 1: about is that it actually takes a lot of brain
Speaker 1: energy and a lot of your emotional time, so like,
Speaker 1: not only are you going out and your physical body
Speaker 1: is doing things like mentally, it's a lot to socialize.
Speaker 1: So props to the people who are still like going
Speaker 1: about and doing it all the time. I just, you know,
Speaker 1: my battery is not being recharged socially the way that
Speaker 1: it used to. And maybe that comes with getting older.
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I also have on here. I
Speaker 1: love trying new places, so I love to go on
Speaker 1: adventures whenever I get the chance. Traveling is like the
Speaker 1: number one thing. If I could travel all of the time,
Speaker 1: I totally would and bring Remy with me. But that's
Speaker 1: probably the biggest caveat for me, is not being able
Speaker 1: to leave Remy and leaving her behind when I do
Speaker 1: go traveling because I love to show her the world
Speaker 1: because she leads a short amount of time with me.
Speaker 1: I am going on a new adventure Seattle and Portland,
Speaker 1: Organs soon and I am so stoved. We've one of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends and I have planned this entire itinerary. We're
Speaker 1: going to be hiking in the North Cascades Park or
Speaker 1: hiking Mount Rainier. We're going to Cannon Beach and Oregon,
Speaker 1: and just like a lot of fun things planned on
Speaker 1: this trip. I'm telling you, like, if there's one thing
Speaker 1: outside of doing radio and some TV shows and doing
Speaker 1: cooking stuff, one thing I would love to do is
Speaker 1: just like put together vacation and travel itineraries and go
Speaker 1: do it and suggest them to people, because traveling is
Speaker 1: another one of those things that I think is so
Speaker 1: important because you get to see the world and you
Speaker 1: get to see different cultures and understand how different people live.
Speaker 1: So right now, while I can't do much foreign travel
Speaker 1: because it's pretty hard with my job and leaving Rimmy
Speaker 1: for too long, I am trying to see as much
Speaker 1: of the United States as I possibly can, and so
Speaker 1: going to Seattle in Portland have always been on that list,
Speaker 1: especially even more now thanks to TikTok, because everybody is
Speaker 1: posting all of these super fun, really cool places and
Speaker 1: I'm just like freaking out excited about how much I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do and see on this trip.
Speaker 1: So super stoked for that. I will put out my
Speaker 1: itinerary that I use for this trip after I do it.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't need anybody really knowing every move
Speaker 1: that I'm making. Well, I'm on a trip, so once
Speaker 1: that trip happens, I will put out the itinerary. I
Speaker 1: know some of y'all I've been asking about that, so
Speaker 1: I will put that out eventually, I promise y'all. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was just some super fun get to know me,
Speaker 1: but also I hope you got to know yourself a
Speaker 1: little bit better, and that not often do we have
Speaker 1: conversations with ourselves and ask ourselves the questions that people
Speaker 1: would have as us. You can kind of have a
Speaker 1: more honest conversation with yourself more often than other people
Speaker 1: can have with you. So that was pretty fun for
Speaker 1: me to share with you. Not super dove deep, kind
Speaker 1: of surface level, but you know, hopefully you still learned
Speaker 1: a little bit more about me in that segment. Then
Speaker 1: after Dylan Scott we had coming in at number five.
Speaker 1: I spilled the tea on Eddie and that was pretty entertaining.
Speaker 1: And I say entertaining because most of the time it's
Speaker 1: a lunchbox and Eddie spilling the tea on each other.
Speaker 1: I love when I have something like really good to
Speaker 1: spill a tea on, because I'm not just gonna spill
Speaker 1: the tea on anything small. Okay, like listen, we're all humans,
Speaker 1: we all do random crap. But it's my favorite when
Speaker 1: I got some actual good tea to spill. And that's
Speaker 1: what happened this week. I'm just saying that I'm throwing
Speaker 1: that out there. It was pretty good, and you guys
Speaker 1: can say it wasn't, but it was pretty good. I
Speaker 1: do have some food worlds for you all that are
Speaker 1: pretty exciting. And you know, one thing I've realized is
Speaker 1: that just about everything is making a comeback in the
Speaker 1: last several years. Like we're just bringing everything back from
Speaker 1: basically when we were kids. General Mills just welcomed back
Speaker 1: some old school cereals, Fruit Brupe, Monster Cereal, Frank and
Speaker 1: Berry Count Chocola and Boo Berry are all making a comeback.
Speaker 1: They're going to be limited edition cereals and they're at
Speaker 1: retailers nationwide. It's so interesting to me how much everything
Speaker 1: is making a comeback, from movies to foods to clothes. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, if I would have known that when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, I would have just stashed everything that
Speaker 1: I actually bought then and saved it for twenty years later.
Speaker 1: So if you're listening to this now and you're a kid.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you think something's really cool, you
Speaker 1: should probably stock up on it, keep it, and like
Speaker 1: preserve it in some way. Whether it's food, definitely preserve
Speaker 1: it some way, or clothes and keep it in a
Speaker 1: secret place and then bring it out and you'll have
Speaker 1: it and it's going to be like cool vintage because
Speaker 1: and you might even be able to make money off
Speaker 1: of it. I wish I would have known this stuff.
Speaker 1: You know, my mom is pretty funny because she keeps
Speaker 1: so many of her clothes and my sister and I
Speaker 1: always gave her a hard time because we're pretty good about,
Speaker 1: you know, cleaning things out and just rotating the closet,
Speaker 1: selling our clothes so we you know, get some new ones.
Speaker 1: And my mom always kept things and we never really
Speaker 1: understood why. But man, she had it right all along,
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you, there are things in her closet
Speaker 1: that are making a comeback from like twenty thirty years ago,
Speaker 1: and she's like, I told you someday it would happened.
Speaker 1: So you know, learn from my mom and what's happening
Speaker 1: right now, and just keep your stuff. You're a teenager
Speaker 1: right now, or you got teens keep their stuff. You
Speaker 1: know how it goes, Just keep it preserved. Another food world,
Speaker 1: it's already happening, but you know it's crazy to me,
Speaker 1: is it's August. We are trying to see the end
Speaker 1: of summer, but our hot, hot weather is not really
Speaker 1: letting that happen. But Krispy Kreme has kicked off the
Speaker 1: pumpkin spice items with their Pumpkin Spice collection that's already
Speaker 1: in stores this week. They released them a month earlier
Speaker 1: this year to get people ready for the fault Fund.
Speaker 1: They've got Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed, and
Speaker 1: Pumpkin Spice original filled cheesecake. Now listen, if I wasn't
Speaker 1: on my super no sugar sweets kick, then I would
Speaker 1: totally be eating this. I am so ready for fall now.
Speaker 1: I'm not one to push the time and make everything
Speaker 1: keep going because, as I've mentioned on the show this week,
Speaker 1: time moves by way too quickly. But I will say
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of the hot weather. I think I've
Speaker 1: retreated more in my house this summer than I normally
Speaker 1: do in winters, because holy crap, it's hot outside. I
Speaker 1: don't even like to go and socialize right now too,
Speaker 1: because I had this argument with someone like, it's so
Speaker 1: much better to be cold because you can just keep
Speaker 1: adding layers, but if you're hot, like you can't keep
Speaker 1: removing layers. You get to a point where you're just
Speaker 1: naked and you can't do anything about it and you're
Speaker 1: still hot. Like that is the one thing I've realized
Speaker 1: is I enjoy the cold more than I enjoy the hot. Now.
Speaker 1: I do like the activities that with warm weather better,
Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes you just gotta take that plunge.
Speaker 1: So I will be socializing a little bit more of
Speaker 1: this winter when it's not one hundred and five degrees
Speaker 1: out all the time. So I'm gonna say, okay, so
Speaker 1: maybe if you're on the cold team like me, let
Speaker 1: me know we can do some snowboarding together or something.
Speaker 1: And then coming in after that segment, we had Abby
Speaker 1: who performed for the first time on Broadway, and there
Speaker 1: was lots of drama around that. You know how that
Speaker 1: goes on our show. There's always drama involved, especially with
Speaker 1: Abby and her singing and lunchbox. But what I want
Speaker 1: to know is I wanted to talk about if you've
Speaker 1: gotten unlucky or like maybe more lucky than you think recently,
Speaker 1: because speaking of this, you know, crazy diet I'm on
Speaker 1: right now. I am also on supplements, and I ran
Speaker 1: out of one of my supplements and I went to
Speaker 1: my nutritionists to get one and purchased it. Cool whatever.
Speaker 1: I get home and I pop the seal on this
Speaker 1: bottle and it was empty, and I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's bad luck. Listen, this is also happened to me recently.
Speaker 1: When I was on a flight with Southwest, I got
Speaker 1: an empty bag. So Southwest, you know how they hand
Speaker 1: out those amazing little snacks that I also can no
Speaker 1: longer eat, but the amazing little snacks. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: opened one up. It was empty. This is twice now
Speaker 1: that I've gotten empty things that were sealed, And now
Speaker 1: this is either like super unlucky, because especially the supplement.
Speaker 1: I then had to drive back again and pick up
Speaker 1: a new one. It was a whole situation, so I
Speaker 1: felt like it was unlucky. But I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: a one million chance, one on one million chance that
Speaker 1: this happens, and that's either like bottom of the barrel
Speaker 1: bad luck, or it's actually really good luck and I
Speaker 1: need to go buy a lottery ticket. I don't know, though,
Speaker 1: I you know, sometimes I try and spin it that
Speaker 1: it could be good luck, but I do think this
Speaker 1: might have actually been bad luck. Who knows? What is
Speaker 1: the universe trying to send me a sign? Has this
Speaker 1: ever happened to you where you're just like? What happened
Speaker 1: with this product? I bought it from a place it
Speaker 1: was sealed. Why would I get the one that's empty?
Speaker 1: Does that mean something? Is the universe trying to send
Speaker 1: me the sign? I don't know? So if you guys
Speaker 1: have had like the universe sending you signs recently, please
Speaker 1: let me know. Maybe I'm not alone. There's one more
Speaker 1: food world I want to share too, because grocery chain Aldi.
Speaker 1: If you listen, inflation has hit us hard. Things are
Speaker 1: crazy expensive right now, and one of those things that
Speaker 1: has always been crazy expensive is weddings. And if you're
Speaker 1: obsessed with Ald, the chain is looking for the perfect
Speaker 1: pair of all d Addicts to become the first ever
Speaker 1: couple married at one of their stores. It's going to
Speaker 1: be at their headquarters in Illinois, and all expenses are paid,
Speaker 1: so until the seventeenth you can head to their happily
Speaker 1: ever after All D page and explain why you deserve
Speaker 1: to have your wedding there. They're going to include listen,
Speaker 1: a cocktail reception, a photographer, videographer, DJ hair and makeup team,
Speaker 1: decorations and flowers, as well as custom a wedding favors.
Speaker 1: But get this. Also included in this you get a
Speaker 1: year of free groceries and this can all be yours
Speaker 1: with fifty friends and family if you're like the best
Speaker 1: All D couple ever. So if somebody's getting married, I'm
Speaker 1: just telling y'all, maybe you don't love ALDI, but maybe
Speaker 1: you can like do something and get this, because holy crap,
Speaker 1: talk about saving some money not only on your wedding
Speaker 1: but also your groceries for a year. Okay. I just
Speaker 1: had to get that out there and share it with
Speaker 1: you guys, because somebody deserves this. This is amazing. Done
Speaker 1: with the food world talk for now. Those were some
Speaker 1: fun stories I just wanted to share with y'all, but
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about I had mentioned for
Speaker 1: another project that I'm working on. I had posted on
Speaker 1: my Instagram stories and see what you guys wanted to
Speaker 1: talk about, and so many of y'all know love the
Speaker 1: behind the scenes about my job, and a lot of
Speaker 1: y'all also want to know how I balanced work in
Speaker 1: social life, which I did briefly mention I'm not very
Speaker 1: good at earlier. But I will tell you guys some
Speaker 1: of the kind of ins and outs of what I do.
Speaker 1: So this is just a day in the life. I
Speaker 1: had a day in the life real video put together
Speaker 1: and I just totally forgot about it and I never
Speaker 1: posted it. So, you know, maybe I'll post it sometime.
Speaker 1: I don't know, But Eddie and Mike did one and
Speaker 1: then I felt weird posting it because they had already
Speaker 1: done it. So it's like I didn't mean to do that.
Speaker 1: I just forgot about it. It's sitting in there. It's
Speaker 1: got like Luke Combs and Randa Lambert on it. And
Speaker 1: maybe I'll post it sometime. But day in the life
Speaker 1: of me, so get up super early in the morning,
Speaker 1: I do get dressed up. I gotta do hair and
Speaker 1: makeup and find a cute outfit to wear. And there
Speaker 1: are some days, you know, Eddie won't ever admit this,
Speaker 1: but there are some days that, yes, I don't do
Speaker 1: my hair, and he thinks it means I don't dress up,
Speaker 1: but my makeup is still done and I'm still like
Speaker 1: presentable more than him in lunchbox, and they're crazy beards
Speaker 1: and stuff. So I do wake up every morning, I
Speaker 1: get ready, hair makeup, find a cute outfit, and I
Speaker 1: go to work. I get there relatively early so I
Speaker 1: can get some things done, because riding blogs and social
Speaker 1: content when there's so much talking going on is really hard.
Speaker 1: I'm really good at multitasking, and I'll explain kind of
Speaker 1: how the multitasking comes into view and a little bit,
Speaker 1: but writing blogs and doing things while I'm also listening
Speaker 1: to what's happening on the show to send it out
Speaker 1: as live tweets. So this is just a breakdown. When
Speaker 1: I get into the studio, I'll do a few things
Speaker 1: early to kind of help myself get through the day
Speaker 1: a little bit better. But when everybody comes in and
Speaker 1: the show starts, I am live tweeting, live posting on Facebook,
Speaker 1: and also getting videos from Eddie to add closed captioning
Speaker 1: to then to post them out online. This all happen simultaneously,
Speaker 1: like not one happens before or after the other. It's
Speaker 1: all at the same time. Then we also get the
Speaker 1: live stream going, and I got to monitor comments on there.
Speaker 1: While I'm monitoring comments, I also got to make sure
Speaker 1: I'm putting together our blogs. So I try and send
Speaker 1: out at least four or five blogs each day of
Speaker 1: the biggest segments of the show. Now, our blogs are
Speaker 1: where all of a lot of our digital goals come from,
Speaker 1: because we want people to go to our website and
Speaker 1: see all the content. So my goal is to always
Speaker 1: get people to go to our website and see the content.
Speaker 1: That's a big one. But also another goal is engaging
Speaker 1: on social media. So we want to put content out
Speaker 1: there that people engage with, so posting live and then
Speaker 1: I got to make sure I get everything ready so
Speaker 1: when the show is over, I can post follow up
Speaker 1: content to what happened on that show that morning, and
Speaker 1: that will take me all of you know, several hours
Speaker 1: until one or two o'clock in the afternoon to get
Speaker 1: that done. I'll send it out, I'll get it to
Speaker 1: our affiliates all across the country so they can also
Speaker 1: post about it. And then after that's done, I start
Speaker 1: prepping for the show the next day, and I'll spend
Speaker 1: about three or four hours working after that to prep
Speaker 1: for the next day, sending in show prep and doing
Speaker 1: some things to make sure I'm ready for the next
Speaker 1: day and I'm not behind. So much of my job
Speaker 1: that goes into it is being prepared and being ahead
Speaker 1: of everything, because if I am behind, it tends to
Speaker 1: fall back on me very very quickly, and I don't
Speaker 1: really have the time or I guess you could say
Speaker 1: opportunity to fall behind on stuff because so much is
Speaker 1: happening so quickly. Like that's also why sometimes you'll hear
Speaker 1: me on the show. I won't know questions or answers
Speaker 1: to things because I'm literally like half writing a blog
Speaker 1: and half trying to answer a question. Though I love
Speaker 1: it and I wouldn't trade it for anything, but my
Speaker 1: brain attention is in like four different places and other times.
Speaker 1: If you ever see me always on my computer, it's
Speaker 1: because there's so much I have to get done in
Speaker 1: a small window of time that I can't really not
Speaker 1: be on my computer. Like nobody some mornings where I
Speaker 1: do not go pee until like ten thirty after being
Speaker 1: there for five and a half hours, okay, And that's
Speaker 1: just kind of part of it. I get so engrossed
Speaker 1: into working and like my body will finally be like
Speaker 1: at like ten thirty or eleven, like, yo, you gotta pee.
Speaker 1: We've been drinking water all morning. You haven't moved, and
Speaker 1: I won't even eat. Sometimes it's just it's a very
Speaker 1: fast moving job and I don't really have a lot
Speaker 1: of time for error or focusing on other things. So
Speaker 1: that's why I try and work ahead as much as
Speaker 1: humanly possible, though there's not much I can do ahead
Speaker 1: of time. It's just some things that I'm preparing our
Speaker 1: websites for, like if I could change out the leads
Speaker 1: on there so we have some new content that's populating
Speaker 1: on the lead section of our website. It's making sure
Speaker 1: any graphics are ready for artists, making sure photos or edited,
Speaker 1: because I also do those. Whenever we have artists come
Speaker 1: in the studio, I take the photos, I edit them,
Speaker 1: I use them to post whenever they're live on the show,
Speaker 1: and I also use them to create the graphics. That's
Speaker 1: another big part of it, and that's just a small portion.
Speaker 1: Then there's this Best Bids podcast, which I record and
Speaker 1: manage all the time with listeners, and then anything else
Speaker 1: I want to do outside of the show on my
Speaker 1: own projects. When Lunchbox and I were doing TikTok videos
Speaker 1: a lot. It was during the pandemic because we had
Speaker 1: so much extra time. There wasn't a lot going on.
Speaker 1: And now everybody's lives kind of picked back up again
Speaker 1: and everything got super busy, and that kind of got
Speaker 1: pushed the wayside because I'm doing good to do my
Speaker 1: job and do the few other projects that I'm working on.
Speaker 1: So that gives you a little peak inside what my
Speaker 1: job is in what I do. You know, my main
Speaker 1: point is to make sure I'm always engaging on our
Speaker 1: social media brands and also engaging on my own too,
Speaker 1: so I can talk with you all and connect with
Speaker 1: you guys. So there's a lot that goes into social media.
Speaker 1: If there's anybody who ever wants to do social media
Speaker 1: as a job or work in this industry, one of
Speaker 1: the biggest qualities you need to have is to be
Speaker 1: able to work in a fast paced environment and always
Speaker 1: be on your toes because you just never know it's
Speaker 1: going to get thrown at you and you never know
Speaker 1: how much time you're going to have to do it.
Speaker 1: So there will also be times where thanks will get
Speaker 1: thrown at me. And I got to learn a new
Speaker 1: skill in like five minutes. So quick thinking and a
Speaker 1: lot of patience with yourself are big qualities and important
Speaker 1: things to have. It's an awesome job, and it's one
Speaker 1: that is only going to keep going up from here.
Speaker 1: I think it's super cool because I got lucky. I
Speaker 1: was one of the first ones in a social media job.
Speaker 1: You know. This was gosh, six seven years ago now
Speaker 1: when I really started doing it. Actually did it as
Speaker 1: an intern with iHeartRadio back in which to Talk Kansas.
Speaker 1: I was overseeing social media for some radio stations there,
Speaker 1: and at the time I didn't really see the importance
Speaker 1: of it, and I was like, well, nobody's on these
Speaker 1: nobody's using them. At the time, really everybody was just
Speaker 1: using Facebook and that was about it. But fast forward
Speaker 1: a year later and I got the job with them
Speaker 1: from that work I did as an intern, and I
Speaker 1: was role in social media before I got that job.
Speaker 1: Crazy enough, you look at our graphics and stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: not a graphic designer. That was. Graphic design is an
Speaker 1: entirely separate skill set away from journalism digital media. Graphic
Speaker 1: design has its own literal occupation. Okay, my older sister
Speaker 1: was a graphic designer for several years and she can
Speaker 1: do things that I could never imagine doing. But part
Speaker 1: of that job was graphic design. And when I got
Speaker 1: that job, I taught myself graphic design in a week
Speaker 1: time span. I sat down every day learning to tour rolls,
Speaker 1: going over things so I can know the basics of
Speaker 1: graphic design so that I could get that job. And
Speaker 1: nobody ever knew that. But I figured it out and
Speaker 1: I winged it, and I got my way through it
Speaker 1: enough to have the skills to create graphics and do
Speaker 1: things I needed to do. Now I can whip out
Speaker 1: graphics a little bit easier and have more advanced skills
Speaker 1: than I did before. But that was not one that
Speaker 1: I came in with this job. So you know, even
Speaker 1: if there's a job out there that you're looking for
Speaker 1: and you may not have the one hundred percent skill,
Speaker 1: you can teach it to yourself. And I think that's
Speaker 1: really cool. That's definitely what I did. And now that
Speaker 1: I've spoiled one of my biggest secrets of my career,
Speaker 1: and it's, you know, nothing huge, but my old boss
Speaker 1: may be like what I had no idea, you know, hey, sneaky, sneaky,
Speaker 1: I figured it out. That's all what it is. Life
Speaker 1: is all about figuring stuff out anyway, right, But we're
Speaker 1: going to keep moving right along. Coming in at number
Speaker 1: three school is Steve was challenged. So there was a
Speaker 1: study basically about men who can do forty push ups
Speaker 1: or more in one setting are in much better health
Speaker 1: than those that can't. They are at less risk for
Speaker 1: health diseases, especially heart diseases and Eddie lunchbox. Scooba Steve,
Speaker 1: We're all like, there's no way we can do forty
Speaker 1: Eddie and lunchbox. Really, we can only probably do like
Speaker 1: ten of that, scoopas like I could probably do like
Speaker 1: twenty two. So Scooba Steve got challenged and he went
Speaker 1: after it. He ended up doing thirty pushups, which is awesome.
Speaker 1: He didn't hit the forty, but you know, now, maybe
Speaker 1: it sparked some challenge in him to get to the forty.
Speaker 1: So men, if you're out there, make sure you can
Speaker 1: do forty push ups in one setting. Listen. I think
Speaker 1: I could if I was really like down to the challenge.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I could do forty pushups in one sitting.
Speaker 1: It may not look pretty, but I could do it.
Speaker 1: So I've been working on that, especially at the gym.
Speaker 1: There's been one thing I've been trying to work on
Speaker 1: when I'm at the gym. I want to be able
Speaker 1: to do pull ups. Like I could never really do
Speaker 1: pull ups ever. I always had super strong leg strength,
Speaker 1: but I never had strong upper body strength. I don't
Speaker 1: know why, but that was just the case. I had
Speaker 1: very gymnastic style legs and so those were my strong
Speaker 1: stut and I never really focused on my arm. So
Speaker 1: now I've been trying to work on being able to
Speaker 1: do pull ups, and I'm getting there. I've been doing
Speaker 1: so many assisted and banded pull ups that I think
Speaker 1: I could at least accomplish doing maybe like five full ups.
Speaker 1: It is pretty strong for me. But I also have
Speaker 1: been able to do wall sets for over two minutes,
Speaker 1: and that's also pretty awesome. So I'm definitely getting stronger.
Speaker 1: With you know, my diet and working out every day,
Speaker 1: it's been super important to me, so I've been trying
Speaker 1: to do that. So I do like to believe that
Speaker 1: I could do forty pushups in one sitting though now burpies,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, maybe ten. I hate those. I
Speaker 1: hate burpies. I don't know why, but I hate them,
Speaker 1: and also on an update on adult gymnastics that I've
Speaker 1: been doing. I'm currently working on my front tumbling, so
Speaker 1: front flips and front hand springs, and also some back tumbling.
Speaker 1: I'm working on a layout right now. Those are kind
Speaker 1: of the focused on floor and I am trying to
Speaker 1: get my front hand spring on vault. I have it
Speaker 1: with the spot. Now I'm trying to work on getting
Speaker 1: it consistently with the spot so I can do it
Speaker 1: by myself, because I did have a freak out the
Speaker 1: first time I did vault. I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got this. I used to be able to do it,
Speaker 1: and when I did my front spring over vault, I
Speaker 1: hit my lower back twice and it was incredibly painful.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's pretty hard, especially as a very short girl.
Speaker 1: I can't get over that vault as easy as I
Speaker 1: used to think I can. But if I do have
Speaker 1: a least favorite in gymnastics, it would probably have to
Speaker 1: be beam. So there's beam, floor vault in bars and gymnastics,
Speaker 1: right and in this adult gymnastics, you spend thirty minutes
Speaker 1: working on one of those four and then you get
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of open gym to work on whatever you want,
Speaker 1: and man, I hate it. So the whole reason I
Speaker 1: hate roller coasters is because you get that drop in
Speaker 1: your tummy and I have always hated that feeling. Well,
Speaker 1: I've forgot that when you're on beam and you fall
Speaker 1: off of it, you also get that drop in your stomach,
Speaker 1: and I had totally forgotten about that. So every time
Speaker 1: we do beam, I like try and make it a
Speaker 1: point to never fall off because I'm so scared. I
Speaker 1: hate that feeling. Or I try and be on like
Speaker 1: the floor beam because I really don't like those. So
Speaker 1: I was doing pretty well on it, but I'm too
Speaker 1: afraid to fall off of it because of my fear
Speaker 1: of that little stomach drop thing. So beam is definitely
Speaker 1: my least favorite. And then it's bars because bars are
Speaker 1: so hard and they make me feel so unathletic that
Speaker 1: I get really frustrated on bars, and then I got vault,
Speaker 1: and then it's probably floors my favorite because I can
Speaker 1: accomplish the most on floor with you know, my twenty
Speaker 1: eight year old bodies. So that's what's going on with
Speaker 1: adult gymnastics. If anybody out there has kids in gymnastics,
Speaker 1: or they did once upon a time, or they did themselves.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can relate to that a little bit, but
Speaker 1: adult gymnastics look out for it, and I hope you
Speaker 1: guys are finding some fun passions or new adventures to try,
Speaker 1: because that's what adult gymnastics has been for me. I
Speaker 1: love it. It makes my week every time I go,
Speaker 1: just to focus my brain on something else for an
Speaker 1: hour and do something that really makes me feel good,
Speaker 1: especially when I'm accomplishing new stuff. Even when I'm failing,
Speaker 1: I'm still having so much fun. So definitely encourage y'all
Speaker 1: to try something new or try something that maybe you
Speaker 1: once loved and you had to stop doing it. A
Speaker 1: really fun moment on the show this week, we had
Speaker 1: Richard Marks come on. This started because he reposted a
Speaker 1: video of Abby singing. She reached out to him asked
Speaker 1: if he wanted to come on the show and talk
Speaker 1: about it, and he did, and he talked about her singing.
Speaker 1: He also talked about his career which super incredible connections
Speaker 1: to Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers and just stories that
Speaker 1: it's really cool to hear from an artist and songwriter perspective.
Speaker 1: So highly encourage you to go watch that entire interview
Speaker 1: at Bobby Bones dot Com. But it will be on
Speaker 1: the best Bits, just the bits if you want to
Speaker 1: check that out. And of course coming in at that
Speaker 1: number one spot, Lunchbox audition for The Bad Out of
Speaker 1: Hell Musical and oh my gon, this was such a
Speaker 1: fun segment. He did a scene, he sang a song,
Speaker 1: he also had to do some improv and you know,
Speaker 1: he felt really good about his audition. He's been wanting
Speaker 1: to have an acting role ever since he started his
Speaker 1: Zoom acting classes, like, oh my gosh, maybe two years
Speaker 1: ago now, so this is something he's really been wanting
Speaker 1: to do. So super fun to see it kind of
Speaker 1: come to fruition with the help of Bobby and Scuba
Speaker 1: Steve and if you miss that, that's all up at
Speaker 1: Bobby Bones dot com and just an all around good time.
Speaker 1: Let us know your thoughts. Is Lunchbox going to be
Speaker 1: an actor? Is he going to become famous in Las
Speaker 1: Vegas and then move on to Hollywood? Who knows? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think he definitely has the improv for it, because
Speaker 1: Lunchbox is somebody There's never been someone I've met in
Speaker 1: my life that can be so incredibly awkward and do
Speaker 1: such awkward things and have no shame about it, and
Speaker 1: he's so good about that. There's not a lot of
Speaker 1: people that have that ability and have that personality trait
Speaker 1: that that's something that is really unique about him. So
Speaker 1: I hope this works out for him. I hope he
Speaker 1: gets the gig and you know, he goes on to
Speaker 1: be a big star. I think he'll be super awesome
Speaker 1: at it. I want to know something from y'all. Is
Speaker 1: there anybody else who when you work at home? So
Speaker 1: I was talking to you guys about my job, duties
Speaker 1: and what all that entails. So when I come home
Speaker 1: and I work, I tend to put a TV show
Speaker 1: on in the background because it makes me feel like
Speaker 1: I'm not spending all my time working, like something else
Speaker 1: is going on in my life, even though I know
Speaker 1: that's just like a Jedi mind trick. But one TV
Speaker 1: show that I've been watching as my background TV show
Speaker 1: lately is Once Upon a Time. I watched it only
Speaker 1: one time before. It's on Disney Plus, and it's basically
Speaker 1: the a Dress. I don't even know how you would
Speaker 1: call this show, but it's all of the fairytale characters
Speaker 1: that we know, Cinderella, snow White, all these different princesses
Speaker 1: and princes and Aladdin. They're all a part of this show,
Speaker 1: and it's real life, and it's a TV show instead
Speaker 1: of like a movie, and it's basically this whole thing
Speaker 1: about a curse and there's villains. I don't want to
Speaker 1: spoil it too much of you've never seen it, but
Speaker 1: I seriously love this show, and I forgot how much
Speaker 1: I loved it when I first watched it. It does
Speaker 1: get a little cheesy at moments. It is about fairytale
Speaker 1: characters and stuff, but there also are some dark moments.
Speaker 1: So I don't know that like kids really watch this.
Speaker 1: It's probably like teens and young adults. But if you
Speaker 1: like the fairytale stuff and you're really into like a
Speaker 1: little bit of sci fi and other things like that,
Speaker 1: I would highly encourage watching the show if you haven't before.
Speaker 1: But it's been my background TV show lately. If you
Speaker 1: have a background TV show like me, let me know.
Speaker 1: One of my other ones is New Girl. That one
Speaker 1: is on on repeat. I will finish it and then
Speaker 1: I'll start it over. Another one, Sex in the City,
Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls. I got a lot of background TV shows
Speaker 1: that I use because I've already watched him so already
Speaker 1: know what's happening. But you know, every once in a while,
Speaker 1: I still get kicks out of them, and I'll start
Speaker 1: watching them again because I'm like, oh my gosh, I
Speaker 1: forgot how much I love the show. But also on
Speaker 1: the newer end of things, I watched light Year this
Speaker 1: past weekend when it came out on Disney Plus. I
Speaker 1: think Disney Plus is like my highest streamed streaming at
Speaker 1: because I love watching all the Marvel stuff on repeat,
Speaker 1: Star Wars, Pixar, Disney. I'm just all about all of that.
Speaker 1: So I think I watched Disney Plus the most out
Speaker 1: of everything, which maybe that says something about me. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not a child, but I'm a kid
Speaker 1: at heart, so I'll accept it. But I watched a
Speaker 1: light Year, and I really don't think this movie deserves
Speaker 1: all the hate it's getting. I think it's a really
Speaker 1: great animated movie, and it does have the connection. He's
Speaker 1: wearing his classic buzz light Year outfit, he has his
Speaker 1: villain in it that we all know, and I think
Speaker 1: it's really good. I mean, I don't think it ever
Speaker 1: needed to be that connected to the Toy Story series.
Speaker 1: I love Toy Story but watching this, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this is a good movie and it's a cool background story,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of saw it as your other,
Speaker 1: I guess animated movie, and I loved it. I thought
Speaker 1: it was great, So I will say that I don't
Speaker 1: think it deserves all the hate it's getting. It's not
Speaker 1: my favorite animated Pixtar movie ever, but I do think
Speaker 1: it's really good, so I would give it a try
Speaker 1: if you're, you know, like animated movies or just want
Speaker 1: to throw something on for the kids. I think it's
Speaker 1: pretty good. I know this isn't a super long Best
Speaker 1: Bits this week, but I'm glad I could come on
Speaker 1: and talk to you guys for a little bit and
Speaker 1: it was just you and me. I kind of felt
Speaker 1: like I was having a conversation with you and me
Speaker 1: instead of having one of the other show members on
Speaker 1: this weekend. It was just a little something different because
Speaker 1: things have been kind of crazy around the studio lately,
Speaker 1: so it was easier just to do me. Things will
Speaker 1: resoom next weekend, I'll have another show member on. It
Speaker 1: will be back to regularly scheduled programming. But for this weekend,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I got to hang out with you and me,
Speaker 1: and I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, or
Speaker 1: you want to answer any of my questions, like totally
Speaker 1: send them to me Instagram, DM or Twitter or Facebook.
Speaker 1: I try and check them all as much as possible,
Speaker 1: but I do, you know, like I said, try and
Speaker 1: have some work life balance every once in a while.
Speaker 1: But y'all, thank you so much for listening to the
Speaker 1: best bits, for posting about it, for enjoying it, for
Speaker 1: telling your friends about it. I just I love that
Speaker 1: this podcast has done some really cool things and there's
Speaker 1: so many of you listeners that jump on to enjoy
Speaker 1: it and share your opinions and share it with your family.
Speaker 1: So just thank you. I love you all so much.
Speaker 1: I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend. If you
Speaker 1: want to follow me at web girl Morgan, if you
Speaker 1: want to all the show at Bobby Bones Show, and
Speaker 1: don't forget there's more content up at Bobby bones dot com,

Speaker 1: We love it. Love y'all have a great weekend. Bye.
