Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Number two.
Speaker 1: Oh what's up, y'all? Welcome to the Best Bits. This
Speaker 1: is just the Bits. I'm Morgan, and I'm going to
Speaker 1: break down the Bobby Bones show from this week. But
Speaker 1: this one is a little bit different than usual because
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday were our Saint Jude Radio Thon and
Speaker 1: I'm not going to include those bits here because you
Speaker 1: can see all those performances up at Bobby Bones dot com.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to break down Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
Speaker 1: because we did have some awesome segments this week, so
Speaker 1: we can't not do the best Bits. Harry go coming
Speaker 1: in at the number seven spot. A listener called in
Speaker 1: and wanted to know Bobby's thoughts on the crazy ticket
Speaker 1: prices for concerts lately, and of course all the chaos
Speaker 1: around Taylor Swift, Tyler Childers and potentially Morgan Wallen with
Speaker 1: tickets going on sale and fans not being able to
Speaker 1: get tickets without them being astronomical prices. So Bobby gave
Speaker 1: his thoughts and shared a little bit of behind the
Speaker 1: scenes to maybe help understand things a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Number seven, Let's go over and talk to you, Josh
Speaker 1: and Virginia, who's on the phone. Hey, more in studio Marty,
Speaker 1: there's the elephant in the room, and I think it
Speaker 1: needs to be addressed by some of the main screen artists.
Speaker 1: I know everyone has seen what happened with the Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift tickets fell and the scalping that went on about
Speaker 1: how tickets you know, went from six hundred dollars to
Speaker 1: thirty two hundred dollars. Well, the same thing just happened
Speaker 1: with the Tyler Child's tickets that I don't know if
Speaker 1: you're you know saw that too. What can be done
Speaker 1: about these scalpers and what should be done? So I
Speaker 1: tell you a personal story. First, the show that I
Speaker 1: did at the Win in Las Vegas was a ticket
Speaker 1: master show. Now, I don't sell tickets to where if
Speaker 1: they all sell fast, the tickets go up in price.
Speaker 1: Some artists will allow that meaning there's a word. There's
Speaker 1: a term for it, meaning is the more in demand
Speaker 1: they get, the more expensive they are. I would compare
Speaker 1: it to you're getting a flight on Southwest, and the
Speaker 1: fewer seats are left, the more or those seats cost.
Speaker 1: So if there's two seats left, they maybe five hundrellars
Speaker 1: seats because you didn't get there early. So there is
Speaker 1: that that happens, and that is the answer is legislation. However,
Speaker 1: here's what happens to me. I go to the win.
Speaker 1: Ticketmaster's the biggest, They have all the infrastructure, they're easy
Speaker 1: to use, so I use them, but I don't set
Speaker 1: my tickets like that. It's called a dynamic pricing. Okay,
Speaker 1: mine are just booms straight through. But they have bots
Speaker 1: now they can go and buy a bunch of tickets
Speaker 1: quickly and then immediately list them and resell them. So
Speaker 1: I come on the air and go, don't buy the
Speaker 1: resell tickets. And maybe you've heard me say that so
Speaker 1: much that it's annoying to people. But a ticket that
Speaker 1: would cost ninety dollars seventy dollars depending on where you
Speaker 1: sit at the show, at my shows, it's six hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: And I'm going, I ain't that funny. Don't buy those
Speaker 1: tickets because I don't. I don't make the money. You know,
Speaker 1: the charity that we work with for every single show
Speaker 1: doesn't make any money. It's literally just the person who
Speaker 1: boughts a ticket and is reselling it, which is a
Speaker 1: boy it. So what can the artists do, maybe not
Speaker 1: do dynamic pricing, but the other way, if tickets aren't
Speaker 1: selling super well, the prices can go down and it
Speaker 1: helps actually fill up the place. So it's not just
Speaker 1: artists being selfish, but it's really just legislation. Honestly, they're
Speaker 1: going to have to do something to fix that it.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't want to hate on just
Speaker 1: Ticketmaster because this happens in a lot of different places,
Speaker 1: they're just the biggest. So yeah, it's very frustrating, Josh,
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree, and I try all that I can
Speaker 1: to make sure people that want to come and watch
Speaker 1: me perform don't get suckered. But I'm doing a theater
Speaker 1: of two thousand a night and they're doing stadiums of
Speaker 1: eighty and they can't say that to everybody like I can.
Speaker 1: So the answer is it's got to become such a
Speaker 1: problem that somebody goes, hey, we need to step in
Speaker 1: and create some rules that they cannot do this. And
Speaker 1: until that happens, and until it becomes something popular for
Speaker 1: politicians to god want to do it, they're not going
Speaker 1: to do it because politicians only do what they have
Speaker 1: to do to get reelected. So the answer is the
Speaker 1: real answer. I give you a piece of advice. If
Speaker 1: there's an artist that you really love, get into their
Speaker 1: fan club. It doesn't cost anything and you have first
Speaker 1: access to tickets. For example, if Morgan Wallen has verified
Speaker 1: fan you can get in that and get tickets a
Speaker 1: bit early as a verified fan. Taylor Swift has the
Speaker 1: same deal, although that was a whole different monster. But Josh,
Speaker 1: there is no easy answer here. Some artists have the
Speaker 1: clout to actually do what Eric Church does, but most
Speaker 1: don't unless you're just massive, And you can't fault the
Speaker 1: artist because everybody's just trying to work, make their living,
Speaker 1: provide for their family. But I appreciate you asking that,
Speaker 1: and I wish I had a better answer. I wish
Speaker 1: I had a better better answer for me too, because
Speaker 1: I've tried different things and I found my best techniques
Speaker 1: to get on and go. Don't buy those tickets, don't
Speaker 1: buy resell tickets. But it also leaves sometimes empty seats
Speaker 1: in places because they weren't able to resell them for
Speaker 1: five times the amount, and there's a block of four seats,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I guess everybody hates to be no
Speaker 1: nobody wants win on my show, and I'm all sad
Speaker 1: and freaking out. But in reality, the ticket was bought
Speaker 1: buy a boat, but it was still the original price
Speaker 1: and it still counts as a step. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: I guess everybody hates me now I'm never gonna make it. Josh.
Speaker 1: That's what I have for you, buddy. I'm sorry that's
Speaker 1: not a better answer, but that's what I got right now. Hey,
Speaker 1: anything help? Right? I mean, I just I think people
Speaker 1: need to be more aware or don't buy you know,
Speaker 1: you know the resell tickets. I mean unless unless you
Speaker 1: have that type of money. But I mean for your
Speaker 1: for your instance, for your show. If you notice that
Speaker 1: your Las Vegas show sold out within five minutes, do
Speaker 1: you kind of scratch your head and like, hey, that's
Speaker 1: not right. I think we need to cancel these and
Speaker 1: resell them, or do you just let it ride. I
Speaker 1: don't have that kind of authority honestly, to go let's
Speaker 1: cancel the show. I'm not Eric Church, and I didn't
Speaker 1: sell it in five minutes. I did sell out in
Speaker 1: a day, which I thought was really good, and I
Speaker 1: would say it was probably like fifteen percent. Boughts who
Speaker 1: bought the tickets. So that's not so much that I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: everybody's getting screwed, but it was enough so I could
Speaker 1: come on and go, don't buy those tickets. I'm not
Speaker 1: worth it, and we we're gonna do a second show.
Speaker 1: And that got messed up. But yeah, you got to
Speaker 1: have a lot of power to cancel a show in church.
Speaker 1: There's only a few artists that can do that. So
Speaker 1: don't fault the artist. Just try to be a verified
Speaker 1: fan or getting the fan club because you do get
Speaker 1: early access to stuff. That would be my best advice. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I wish I could fix it. Yeah, I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: I think I should be ruler of the world and
Speaker 1: fix stuff like this. Well maybe when you do get
Speaker 1: into politics, you can. If this is why I get
Speaker 1: in end of the World, you will be the one
Speaker 1: that would understand this is the problem. And yeah, not
Speaker 1: even so much about the music part. It's just the
Speaker 1: people they're getting. People want to do stuff and they can't. Yeah, Josh,
Speaker 1: thanks buddy, Hope you have a great day. All right,
Speaker 1: y'all too. It's the best Bits of the week with
Speaker 1: Morgan number two. Recently, Jackson Dean was on our show,
Speaker 1: and when he came on, I tagged him in a
Speaker 1: photo on Instagram and in that tag, it happened that
Speaker 1: our dms popped up with him and I saw that
Speaker 1: way back, like back when Jackson Dean was fifteen years old,
Speaker 1: he sent us a video of him covering an original
Speaker 1: song and I hadn't seen it until that moment when
Speaker 1: he had just stopped by our show. So a crazy
Speaker 1: video that we shared this week just as a cool
Speaker 1: reminder to see where life can happen in like seven years.
Speaker 1: I think he's twenty one, twenty two now, and when
Speaker 1: he was fifteen years old he sent the show a
Speaker 1: DM and we just never saw it until now. And
Speaker 1: now he has a number one song, So super crazy
Speaker 1: story and really cool moments. You can hear that right now.
Speaker 1: Number six, we had Jackson Dean in studio. He performed.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. This is a song that went number one.
Speaker 1: Listens loved it. He's so good live. So this is
Speaker 1: cool though, because he tagged us in something. And you
Speaker 1: can go back and look and see if there's any
Speaker 1: dms that have been exchanged over the years. Morgan found one.
Speaker 1: How old was he when he sent us a DM
Speaker 1: he was fifteen years old. Oh wow, that's crazy, and
Speaker 1: what did it say? In the DM? He tagged us
Speaker 1: in a video of him singing his own song, and
Speaker 1: he said, I don't mean to be obnoxious, but my
Speaker 1: name is Jackson Dean, I'm fifteen. This is what I
Speaker 1: want to do for my life. Please, if you have
Speaker 1: any thoughts about this song that I wrote, I would
Speaker 1: love to be on your show. We ever saw it.
Speaker 1: He was fifteen year old kid, but he sent us
Speaker 1: this video. Do you want to hear him at fifteen? Yes,
Speaker 1: here we go right then that goal, he was fifteen
Speaker 1: reaching out to us. Yeah, what a hustler like, just working.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I wish I would have known this when
Speaker 1: he was in I know. It didn't pop up until
Speaker 1: we tagged him, and then it showed the previous messages
Speaker 1: he sent. That's pretty cool, fifteen years old messaging play
Speaker 1: a song now because listen we made him. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah fifteen. Hey we've known this kid scenes fifteen. Let's
Speaker 1: quickly this narrative changes. It's the best bits of the
Speaker 1: week with Morgan. Number two getting us in the Christmas
Speaker 1: spirit is a lunchbox he called a place and tried
Speaker 1: to buy the twelve Days of Christmas gifts, but he
Speaker 1: didn't do his best. I'm not quite sure what happened
Speaker 1: in this call, but whether he should have sang it
Speaker 1: or if he should have like done it in a
Speaker 1: different way, I don't know. But he just read it
Speaker 1: off and it was his idea of getting this all
Speaker 1: in the Christmas spirit. But nobody has to get me
Speaker 1: in the Christmas spirit. I've been in it since November first. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go number five? What do you have?
Speaker 1: I feel like we have not been in the Christmas
Speaker 1: spirit enough on this show. I haven't heard enough Christmas music,
Speaker 1: and so I thought I would cheer us up, and
Speaker 1: I called a store trying to buy the twelve Things
Speaker 1: of Christmas twelve Days of Christmas like one crappy horn
Speaker 1: to turtle. Yeah, did not last, did it? No? It died.
Speaker 1: I don't know any of that, but I do know this.
Speaker 1: On the milds of Milking, made of Milk and get
Speaker 1: golden geeses golden four. I called it a department store.
Speaker 1: Who says department store? He does? You don't want to
Speaker 1: say what it is. I didn't want to say. I
Speaker 1: was just trying to it was really a yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: grocery store. Yeah yeah, but it's not a department store.
Speaker 1: Well and not a department store. No parts got closed
Speaker 1: and departments yeah, oh a grocery store now with clothes.
Speaker 1: Well that's a supercenter. Oh boy. Anyway, here we go.
Speaker 1: Here's lunchbox calling and trying to buy all the stuff.

Speaker 1: ten lords of leaping, nine ladies dancing, eight maids of milking,
Speaker 1: seven swans of swimming, six geesea laying, five gold rings,
Speaker 1: four collie birds, three fringe chins, two turtle doves, and
Speaker 1: a partridge in Yeah, so which one of those can
Speaker 1: you get for me? I don't have any of them?
Speaker 1: Oh can you? Can you check in your computer and
Speaker 1: see if any of your other stores have them? I
Speaker 1: don't think any stores would have them. You don't think
Speaker 1: any of them have eight maids of milking. Oh? Interesting,
Speaker 1: you're wasting this guy's time. I think if you called
Speaker 1: them were serious and be like, hey, I just like,
Speaker 1: do you have I don't have any? You haven stock
Speaker 1: the do you even have ten lords of leaping? Like?
Speaker 1: If you ask like a series. I think you would
Speaker 1: get it. He knew you were singing. I think if
Speaker 1: you hit him up and we're like, hey, listen, I
Speaker 1: got four, but I supposed to have six geese of laying,
Speaker 1: do you have two and see if they catch on
Speaker 1: a few of them? Yeah, instead of just singing the song,
Speaker 1: which sounds like you're just prank caroling. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: liked it though it's a it's a good good guy.
Speaker 1: And then he started singing with me, which was I
Speaker 1: thought was pretty funny. Thank you lunch Christmas. It's the
Speaker 1: best bits of the week with Morgan Number two. When
Speaker 1: you get a little drunk, you might do some things
Speaker 1: and you're kind of like, well, why did I do that? Well,
Speaker 1: we talked about that this week because a girl ordered
Speaker 1: a crap ton of nuggets from a place after the
Speaker 1: World Cup. She had a good time, you know, drunk,
Speaker 1: ordered a lot of nuggets, and I mean a lot
Speaker 1: of nuggets. So basically we talked about the things that
Speaker 1: we've ordered while we've been drunk, and uh, they're pretty
Speaker 1: funny across the board. It's probably something you have done
Speaker 1: if you've happened to be drunk and get yourself online
Speaker 1: and buy something. You probably done one of these, but
Speaker 1: if you haven't, even crazier ones than ours, please hit
Speaker 1: us up because these are probably my favorite stories. Number
Speaker 1: four Christmas Times Christmas, are you guys kind of feeling
Speaker 1: a little bit? Have you, guys done any shopping for
Speaker 1: other people? You have? Yes? How much? Percentage wise? Have
Speaker 1: you done? Pretty good? I have deemed this practical Christmas.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna get the people that I get gifts
Speaker 1: in my life. It's good gifts. They're gonna be very practical,
Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean they're not gonna be good. But
Speaker 1: there's stuff you use. I do my hand like the
Speaker 1: stars a practical Christmas. So I've been, you know, and
Speaker 1: more gift cards this year than ever before. And I'm
Speaker 1: not a big gift card guy, but I can just
Speaker 1: dial in and know exactly the gift card that you
Speaker 1: will use. And so we're doing and I'm getting Morgan
Speaker 1: a gift in our gift exchange here. But it's a
Speaker 1: practical Christmas. How do you for her? Yeah, for the show.
Speaker 1: It's a theme this year, practical Christmas. Okay for me? Right,
Speaker 1: how do you know a gift I bought somebody? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, through the grape vine. I heard of a
Speaker 1: gift that you've already given. It's not even Christmas yet
Speaker 1: to somebody, like a crazy gift, but it's it's practical,
Speaker 1: it fits the theme. What don't say who it is?
Speaker 1: What is it? A mode of transportation? Oh oh yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah right. I saw that. I was like, dang, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't know I'm gonna posted their scooter online. No,
Speaker 1: that wasn't christ Yes, yeah, so yeah, I mean, you
Speaker 1: were right there, but I don't think that's what people
Speaker 1: are getting. I was like, dang, that means it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a good Christmas around here. I didn't buy anyway,
Speaker 1: a scooter, that's what it was. Okay, that wasn't really
Speaker 1: a Christmas gift, I guess I could. You know what
Speaker 1: I did say, let's count this is a Christmas present?
Speaker 1: So does that count? Yes? Yeah, you don't even know
Speaker 1: what it is. I do. It is too red. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know there's a car. Here's a car. There's a
Speaker 1: car that's very practical, very practical. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking anyway, moving on, Amy needed a car,
Speaker 1: so I got you know, there is a Christmas market
Speaker 1: selling two hundred and five dollars hot dogs. You have
Speaker 1: to wait forty minutes to get it. At Rudolf's Christmas Market,
Speaker 1: the high end hot dog cost anywhere from two fifty
Speaker 1: to two hundred and seventy bucks, taking forty minutes to prep.
Speaker 1: The hot dog has Kobe beef, sausage, white all but truffles,
Speaker 1: some sort of champagne foam, gilded peppercorn, and chocolate crumble.
Speaker 1: Customers called the hot dog dramatic, and anyone who orders
Speaker 1: it had best too slowly and enjoy the moment. Wow, okay,
Speaker 1: that is I mean, it looks awesome. It does two
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five dollars. I just can't imagine paying
Speaker 1: I can't imagine paying any any that amount of me
Speaker 1: for anything to eat, unless there's like a souvenir of
Speaker 1: a gold bar on the table with it. But that's
Speaker 1: that's from lad Bible. But it does look really really good.
Speaker 1: How big is it that? Yeah? Big? Okay, So it's
Speaker 1: like a foot, so like you could get it going
Speaker 1: on with friends and you each get a mine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but then you then you're fighting over we got the
Speaker 1: biggest bite, and you've all paid so much money in
Speaker 1: no way. This woman. She was drunk. She ordered one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty McNuggets speaking of food celebrating the World Cup.
Speaker 1: She was so drunk, but sure, one hundred and sixteen nuggets. Wow.
Speaker 1: Said she couldn't eat them all and she didn't even
Speaker 1: know she ordered so many and they all get there.
Speaker 1: She's just hammered. That's from the New York Post. Do
Speaker 1: you ever order anything drunk? Like? You don't? Maybe you're
Speaker 1: drunk when you order and you do remember it, or
Speaker 1: maybe you you're not drunk. I've never been drunk. I
Speaker 1: wish I had been a lot. That'd be fun. Sound
Speaker 1: drunk is fun? Yeah? Drunk? You ever order anything drunk Morgan? Ever?
Speaker 1: Anything drunk? I have? I've ordered clothes and they always
Speaker 1: come back and show up and they do not look
Speaker 1: the same when you like you usually like them. No,
Speaker 1: I've sent most of them back and I'm mad at
Speaker 1: myself when I do it. What is drunk Morgan like
Speaker 1: to order bold clothes? Um? Yeah, a lot of leather.
Speaker 1: I don't really know why ever order thing dr does?
Speaker 1: Zenex gill sure because yeah, I go in a difference. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't mean to, but I that's kind
Speaker 1: of the point. Yeah, yeah, so I'm with Morgan for sure.
Speaker 1: Clothes goodness. Actually one time it was a lot, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad I was able to return them. Eddie not zanex.
Speaker 1: Every order thing drunk? Does pizza count? Like, when you're drunk,
Speaker 1: a hot slice of pizza sounds a great Okay, no,
Speaker 1: but that's something you want. And when you're there arrives,
Speaker 1: you're happy. You're like, oh, I want the best feeling
Speaker 1: in the world. It is. It's great. So you order pizza, pizza,
Speaker 1: and more beer, probably more alcohol. You're drunk, You're like,
Speaker 1: give me some more. Yeah, dinner for the whole table
Speaker 1: that you've done that. Yeah, you too much drinking you
Speaker 1: just bought well you just maybe not even to you

Speaker 1: out there have plumpy nut one nut if you well,
Speaker 1: it's a plumpy nut, you know, what it is. If

Speaker 1: Plumpy nut is something that was served to my daughter
Speaker 1: at the orphanage in Haiti and it's it's for kids
Speaker 1: that have malnutrition and it's this peanut butter paste. But
Speaker 1: she brought it up the other day and she's asked
Speaker 1: for it, and I want to put some in her
Speaker 1: stocking for Christmas as a surprise because I feel like
Speaker 1: it would it's like nostalgic for her and she's like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, it was my favorite. I loved getting
Speaker 1: plumpy nuts. So you can't find me for me if
Speaker 1: I was like I loved government cheese as a kid
Speaker 1: because we had it all the time. It's how we
Speaker 1: ate cheese. We stand in line with government cheese, government pudding.
Speaker 1: I love the taste of government cheese because I had
Speaker 1: it as a kid. It'd be like me going, I
Speaker 1: can't buy government cheese, but if aybody knows where get
Speaker 1: the government cheese, I'd like it, Like you'll pay for it,
Speaker 1: and I'm not asking for it for free. But I
Speaker 1: try to go to the website and it's distributed to
Speaker 1: relief organizations and different nonprofits that work and distribute the
Speaker 1: plumping nuts, so and they give it out and I'm
Speaker 1: not looking for it free, but I want to buy some.
Speaker 1: But I also I am not going to buy paletts,
Speaker 1: so I just didn't know if anybody could get their
Speaker 1: hands on some projects. My project is, well, my friends
Speaker 1: Christmas plumpy Knights. Oh that's not bad because plumpy Knight.
Speaker 1: You can eat that and also my nickname in college.
Speaker 1: It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Speaker 1: November just ended, so of course we had to award
Speaker 1: an employee of the Month for November, and very exciting
Speaker 1: stuff because Amy was awarded for the first time her
Speaker 1: Employee of the Month award. She was super excited, shared
Speaker 1: her speech and really this one there was no anticipation
Speaker 1: and we just got straight to the point. And Amy
Speaker 1: is our employee of the Month for November. A great
Speaker 1: way to go out of twenty twenty two. Number three,
Speaker 1: I Employee the month. Let's do it. This is for
Speaker 1: the month of November. I know here we are December seventh,
Speaker 1: but it's been a crazy last week or so. Lunchbox
Speaker 1: is sick. He's not here, but he's also not able
Speaker 1: to win because Abby blocked him for three months. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: her prize was blocking him from Employee the Month. Now
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. This is a wrinkle. Whenever
Speaker 1: someone else wins it, their prize can actually be bringing
Speaker 1: Lunchbox back in for next month. Oh well, who would
Speaker 1: do that? I don't know. I mean, I feel bad
Speaker 1: that he got bumped for three months. But what's the
Speaker 1: other thing you get to do? Well, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things. Hey, Lunchbox is there, buddy, I'm here. Listen, guys,
Speaker 1: if you want to bring me back. I know you're
Speaker 1: scared of competition and you don't want the best person
Speaker 1: in for Employee of the Month. So I'd understand why
Speaker 1: you wouldn't bring me back, But show your guts, show
Speaker 1: you know that you have, you have, you know, some gusto,
Speaker 1: and you're not scared of me. Bring me back. Hey,
Speaker 1: so Lunchbox is not here because he says he has
Speaker 1: it coming out of both ends. Yes, so we're cool
Speaker 1: with him staying away, even at a one end. Stay right, everybody, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's sick. But let's do Employee of the Month.
Speaker 1: So if I call your name, just give a little
Speaker 1: quick speech. I mean, you didn't win. Okay, Employee the
Speaker 1: Month for November. By the way, if you win, you
Speaker 1: can spend the wheel of cash. You can do some
Speaker 1: self promotion. You can block someone for three months. You
Speaker 1: can also block Lunchbox for another three months if you
Speaker 1: oh wow, it's amazing, or you can bring Lunchbox back. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, Employee of the Month. The first person that
Speaker 1: is not Employee of the Month is Eddie. What you
Speaker 1: didn't win? I am the first one out. You're not
Speaker 1: Employee the Month. What would you have said had you one?
Speaker 1: All right? Let me shook my thought here? Oh okay, wow, wow, wow,
Speaker 1: thank you guys so much. You know, I want to
Speaker 1: say that my strategy finally worked. I was thinking I
Speaker 1: have no chance of getting this award. So what I
Speaker 1: did is I acted like I wasn't paying attention. I
Speaker 1: got punished and I barked like a dog and stuff
Speaker 1: like that you do so you can get that awards show.
Speaker 1: I did it for the show, and it finally paid off.
Speaker 1: So thank you guys for realizing that I may you
Speaker 1: never know with me. Now, I may do this for
Speaker 1: the years to come. Hey, Lunchbox, do you think should

Speaker 1: if you'd like it, it's four Things with Amy Brown.
Speaker 1: Wherever you listen to podcasts. I have two episodes a
Speaker 1: week Tuesday and Thursday, and then on Saturdays, I have
Speaker 1: a podcast called out Way that's dedicated to eating disorder recovery.
Speaker 1: And then on Instagram you can find me at Radio Amy.
Speaker 1: I'm also that on Twitter and TikTok is just not
Speaker 1: as active. There can find more seconds. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: At you there? I like that. Good to win, Lunchbox,
Speaker 1: how do you feel you're sick? I know, I know
Speaker 1: you gotta come in out of both. Then how do
Speaker 1: you feel about that? I thought it was terrible. What
Speaker 1: a terrible decision, I mean a coward decision, very scared
Speaker 1: of competition, and then she didn't even use her whole time.
Speaker 1: It was absolutely brutal. Everybody already knows you have a podcast,
Speaker 1: you're employing the monk. They know I got not everybody.
Speaker 1: Do you want to promote something Lunchbox? Yeah, you cough
Speaker 1: turn them down right. That's like on the bed top cookies.
Speaker 1: All right, it's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 1: Number two. Blind Karaoke Sad Country Love Songs Edition went
Speaker 1: down this week and I'm just gonna spoiler this because
Speaker 1: I am terrible at this game. Okay. I was so
Speaker 1: disappointed and defeated after I did this part that I
Speaker 1: went to lunchbox after him was like, dang, that was
Speaker 1: really bad, Hunt, and he was like, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: pretty bad, and I felt even worse about myself. And
Speaker 1: I'm just telling y'all, I am really good at a
Speaker 1: lot of things, but retaining information is just not one
Speaker 1: of them. And that is a big struggle for me
Speaker 1: on this show sometimes with games and with competitions, because
Speaker 1: I just cannot, for the life of me, remember things.
Speaker 1: And in this instance, when I got a crazy old
Speaker 1: song that I have not heard in probably over ten
Speaker 1: twenty years, is the one that I had to sing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was screwed. Okay, I was screwed from the beginning.
Speaker 1: Just yeah. So don't don't get me too bad at
Speaker 1: a hard time. You want to troll me, that's fine,
Speaker 1: roast me. Actually you can roast me, but you cannot
Speaker 1: troll me not. This is what we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: after you listen to this blind karaoke segment number two.
Speaker 1: A couple of things I want to introduce. First of all,
Speaker 1: this wheel. On this wheel, they're a lot of slow,
Speaker 1: sad country songs. Now you may ask why is that
Speaker 1: on the wheel? Play the voice Malcom the listener Ray.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to suggest maybe doing sage country songs
Speaker 1: for flying karaoke. I think it would be hilarious. Let
Speaker 1: me know what y'all think. The second thing I want
Speaker 1: to introduce is, I mean platinum superstar Jordan Davis is
Speaker 1: here to judge. Yeah, where is her greatest song of
Speaker 1: all time? That's facts, but you don't get Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. What about it was singing googles you up?
Speaker 1: If he's stupid enough? Okay, I just did a thing where,
Speaker 1: you know, they asked me what my breakout moment was
Speaker 1: was when you when Bobby Bones show played singles You Up?
Speaker 1: Really and it like blew up my social media. So
Speaker 1: if someone asked me to relately, who's my favorite artist
Speaker 1: interview and I said Jordan Davis, that's a lot's cool,
Speaker 1: that's a lot I prove it prove it's a lot.
Speaker 1: I can't prove yours. It's the truth either. No, it's
Speaker 1: coming out. It's gonna be in Mine's coming out to
Speaker 1: watch for. It's gonna be in Variety. Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: in a vogue or whatever. So yeah, sure he's making
Speaker 1: crap up too. So Mike d myself and Jordan Davis
Speaker 1: will be the judges. Jordan, you have your phone on
Speaker 1: you over there? I do, okay, So just text Mike
Speaker 1: your score one while Scooba's out. He's not judging anymore,
Speaker 1: not today because celebrity judges here. That's fine, it's good.
Speaker 1: Was sad. That's fine. I'm texting Mike, dem store your
Speaker 1: score or okay, But then you joined, no one's saying yet, buddy,
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just from pulling his number up. Okay.
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't I don't have it. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to put him. I don't know. He's
Speaker 1: not to say it's awkward. Okay. Up. First, we rolled
Speaker 1: the dice up first, singing blind karaoke, meaning she'll land
Speaker 1: on a song on the wheel and have to perform
Speaker 1: at whatever it is with no words in front of her.
Speaker 1: Between she has to guess words. She has to guess
Speaker 1: everything unless she knows it. It's Morgan number two. Morgan,
Speaker 1: you go to the stage and we'll spend the wheel
Speaker 1: on the wheel or songs like Whiskey Lullaby, drink a beer.
Speaker 1: Some of these songs I've never heard of. The dance
Speaker 1: I mean, hurt, that's gonna be tough. That h all right,
Speaker 1: here we go, let's sph give her hurt, don't. I
Speaker 1: don't even know Lorgan, you will do He stopped loving
Speaker 1: her today, he sai, he stopped loving I don't think
Speaker 1: I know anything. So and Jordan, here's the thing. They
Speaker 1: usually don't know all the words. Sometimes they know none.
Speaker 1: So you can base your criteria on anything. It can
Speaker 1: be words known, it can be passion. How good they
Speaker 1: sing all that together? I mean not knowing the words
Speaker 1: of this song is that's that's that's bad. She's also
Speaker 1: like twelve it's true. That is true? So this is
Speaker 1: she's also not a country artist. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: this is some say the best country song over. I
Speaker 1: think I only know it because Bobby sings it sometimes
Speaker 1: every day about my wife. I'm like, I messed up
Speaker 1: last night. She stopped loving me today, man, Morgan, good luck,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be really hard for I can already
Speaker 1: tell too that Jordan's gonna be a tough judge. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: when you have an expert and a CMA, you better
Speaker 1: come in here. It's ready. You love Bobby's introductions. Ready, ray,
Speaker 1: can you help me come in love it today? And
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful day. And Bobby really loves his wife Caitlin,
Speaker 1: and he sings the song to her every single day
Speaker 1: because he wants to make sure he never forgets her.
Speaker 1: And this is an important moment in their relationship because
Speaker 1: he can never stop loving her and he prays every
Speaker 1: morning day still. But yeah, I'm safe. He was doing
Speaker 1: spoken word. I was, I was trying spoken word. But
Speaker 1: also he died. He died. Yeah, that's why. Not nothing, guys,
Speaker 1: that's a great Okay, Morgange, she's out here. Take you
Speaker 1: get your scores in there. That should be easy, guys,
Speaker 1: don't even worry about it. Work about score and let's
Speaker 1: just move on. That's a tough one, hey, bad luck
Speaker 1: of the draw. And also she didn't really try. Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't I be end when at a time when that happens,
Speaker 1: then I wouldn't lose, You'll be back. I thought it
Speaker 1: started out strong. I thought like maybe she was just
Speaker 1: waiting for the chorus, doing a spoken words never never
Speaker 1: make the chorus come. Do you only want to start
Speaker 1: singing something I don't. The only chorus I knew is
Speaker 1: he stopped loving her today. You should have started with, Hey, Jordan,
Speaker 1: I saw your score. You ever one point seven? We'd
Speaker 1: only do points, but okay, okay, okay, I'll run up
Speaker 1: to Jordan Gaber one point seven in a banana, also

Speaker 1: whole system. I'm not sure with yeah, it's yeah, you

Speaker 1: just saying, just for you, a good job will be
Speaker 1: back in a man. It's the best bits of the
Speaker 1: week with Morgan number two coming in at that number
Speaker 1: one spot. Yes that was a pun because Joey Lagano,
Speaker 1: the NASCAR Cup Series Champion, came in the studio this
Speaker 1: week and it was such a good interview. He was
Speaker 1: so fun to listen to and just talk about his
Speaker 1: life with racing and on and off the racetrack and
Speaker 1: what things cost. It was just a really intriguing interview.
Speaker 1: And Morgan one also came in because she's a massive
Speaker 1: NASCAR fan and has been for a long time because
Speaker 1: of her dad, and she got to ask questions. So
Speaker 1: really fun interview. Even if you don't like NASCAR, even
Speaker 1: if you know nothing about NASCAR, totally listen to this.
Speaker 1: You can even go watch it at Bobby Bones dot
Speaker 1: com because all around just some really fun stuff here.
Speaker 1: It is Joey Lagano and Bobby Bones with Morgan number one,
Speaker 1: number one on the Bobby Bones Show. Now Joey Lagano, Joey,
Speaker 1: good to see him in. Thank you You're happened him.
Speaker 1: Joey walked in and dropped a helmet off and he goes.
Speaker 1: He said something snide, then sat down and laughed. So
Speaker 1: you brought this helmet? You're not an Arkansas Razor Back
Speaker 1: football fan, I assume. I mean, I just thought a
Speaker 1: race car helmet looked better. That's all it does it. Actually,
Speaker 1: it looks really cool. I'm we're gonna leave it up
Speaker 1: or so, I appreciate that. This is my stupid question here.
Speaker 1: How much does a helmet like that cost? By the
Speaker 1: time you're all setting done, Like the actual race helmets,
Speaker 1: they're you know, probably five six grand by time you're
Speaker 1: all setting downe with the radios on them. They're all
Speaker 1: carbon fiber. They're really nice and light. They got all
Speaker 1: the stuff. It's my head, Okay, I don't want to
Speaker 1: cut any corners with my head. I get it. I
Speaker 1: guess my real question is how much cana pawn that for? Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I were, well, I'm being honest, that's a replica,
Speaker 1: so you probably can get a cup hundred bucks part Yeah,
Speaker 1: take it. I'm super pumped. You're here and so I all.
Speaker 1: So one the people who works closest with me, and
Speaker 1: she's been a part of my show in my life
Speaker 1: for a long time, come over and have a seat.
Speaker 1: Morgan is a massive fan of NASCAR abuse. She's gonna
Speaker 1: make sure that I ask all the good questions that
Speaker 1: hardcore fans want to know, because most of my questions
Speaker 1: are stupid. For example, you're really tall, how do you
Speaker 1: fit in a car? I do? My car is? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's made for me, right, I'm six two, I'm one
Speaker 1: of the taller guys out there. But your seat, um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a carbon fiber bucket and then they
Speaker 1: pour an insert for you, so it's it's a foam.
Speaker 1: They build your seat or build a seat to fit
Speaker 1: you like perfectly. Do you send in your real car? Though?
Speaker 1: Can you be like a wish because it is the
Speaker 1: most comfortable thing in the world. You would never want
Speaker 1: to leave your car. If you say, if you had
Speaker 1: a seat molded directly to your body the way we do,
Speaker 1: you would it's awesome. Yeah, I'd like that. Garth Brooks,
Speaker 1: this chair, this is my work seat. That's what you need.
Speaker 1: You need a custom molded chair here from Garth Brooks
Speaker 1: is way better than yours. Because Garth Brooks gave it
Speaker 1: to Matt It's probably right. Yeah, that's probably right. Okay, Morgan,
Speaker 1: that's my stupid question. What is a great what's a
Speaker 1: great joy logneol question here that fans would want to know. Well,
Speaker 1: this is just a nosy question I have. So you
Speaker 1: you won the clash the first race of the season,
Speaker 1: but you kind of had to decide am I going
Speaker 1: to potentially miss the birth of my daughter? How does
Speaker 1: that conversation go to? I know we saw a little
Speaker 1: bit of it in the USA Show race for the championship,
Speaker 1: but off camera, like, how do you actually decide decide
Speaker 1: you may miss the birth of a child? It was
Speaker 1: It was hard because I mean, it's like the worst spot,
Speaker 1: like it's good and bad, right because you're you're about
Speaker 1: to have, you know, a great moment with a birth
Speaker 1: of your of your our third child, our first daughter,
Speaker 1: and we're racing in LA. We live in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: so you're all the way across the country. It's our
Speaker 1: third kid. Everyone says the third one pops out like
Speaker 1: a slipping slide. So you're like, all right, this is
Speaker 1: gonna happen pretty quick, and you don't know if you're
Speaker 1: gonna get home in time. I'm gonna be all the
Speaker 1: way out and the other side of the country is
Speaker 1: gonna take me at least at least eight hours by
Speaker 1: the time I get on a plane, fly all the
Speaker 1: way home, drive to the hospital, I do the whole thing,
Speaker 1: and I may miss that, and then I'm gonna miss
Speaker 1: the race too. And so I did what any smart
Speaker 1: husband would do and said, honey, you tell me what
Speaker 1: to do. So that's what worked out. And she said,
Speaker 1: you know what, when you leave to go out there there,
Speaker 1: you're you're full committed, you're racing. And then she was
Speaker 1: I'll be fine. I'm like the first kid, joy different situation.
Speaker 1: Um gosh, I don't know. Um. We were fortunate enough
Speaker 1: that he was born in January when we're not racing,
Speaker 1: so it was okay. Um. I mean, it was a
Speaker 1: tough decision for sure, because it's kind of the the
Speaker 1: what if something goes wrong? Right like what if like
Speaker 1: you need to be there for for something. And thank god,
Speaker 1: everything went smooth and the way it all worked out
Speaker 1: was perfectly. It is exactly the way we had it
Speaker 1: planned up. Was go out there when the race, come home,
Speaker 1: we'll have the baby. How long until you had the
Speaker 1: baby once you got back home it was two days later.
Speaker 1: Did you get on a plane right after the race? Yep?
Speaker 1: After the race, I flew home. H it was the
Speaker 1: next day. We went into the hospital and you got
Speaker 1: Lucky popped out telling and all of a sudden he's
Speaker 1: on like turn eight, and all of a sudden turn
Speaker 1: and all of a a sudden, the baby starts coming out.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna do? Like, it's such a it's
Speaker 1: a tough spot. I mean, it's a part of it's
Speaker 1: the life we live too, because you're put in a
Speaker 1: spot whether are you are you letting your family down,
Speaker 1: your wife down by not being there, or you're letting
Speaker 1: your team down by not being there. Right, they have
Speaker 1: a lot that's committed to our race team as well. Right,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bonuses and their families relying on
Speaker 1: you as well to go do your job. So now
Speaker 1: you're like you're stuck in the middle, and it's a
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, it's a great spot to
Speaker 1: be because you're assuming the birth of your child. It's great,
Speaker 1: but it's also a tough spot to be. If the
Speaker 1: baby would have started, let's say she wouldn't a labor
Speaker 1: what they've told you in your ear during the race,
Speaker 1: So I said, you tell me like a rate after
Speaker 1: the race, Like if we crossed the start finish line.
Speaker 1: If she's having the baby, I am driving straight out
Speaker 1: of the racetrack. We're not doing media. I am driving
Speaker 1: the race car to the airport. I'm going so I
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that, which was good though. All right,
Speaker 1: Joey Logano is here. We're talking. First of all, congrats
Speaker 1: on such a successful season. I mean, you're when you
Speaker 1: were coming in. There's a passion with college football fans
Speaker 1: and NASCAR fans, and there are a lot of parallels
Speaker 1: between the two. But I said, Joey Logano's coming in,
Speaker 1: and some people you would have thought I just slapped
Speaker 1: their grandma. Now I had not met you. You you
Speaker 1: are extremely warm. You walk in the room, you're smiling,
Speaker 1: You said hi to everybody. You're a kind guy. But
Speaker 1: why would people not like you? Why? Like, what did
Speaker 1: you do to them, Joey, Well, nothing to them, particularly
Speaker 1: like directly. But so here's the thing. I think this
Speaker 1: is true and probably all sports, and it's really hard
Speaker 1: for I think a lot of people to understand, is
Speaker 1: that when you get in a competitive environment, like driving
Speaker 1: a race car or playing football or basketball or whatever
Speaker 1: it may be, you have to flip a switch and
Speaker 1: become very selfish because you have to win. Like it's
Speaker 1: not about being nice, it's not about doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: It's about winning the race. That's all that matters in
Speaker 1: those moments. So you become a different person. And I
Speaker 1: think it's really hard for people to understand how you
Speaker 1: can do one thing on the racetrack and then get out,
Speaker 1: take your helmet off and be a normal person, right,
Speaker 1: and like be actually kind of people. Right. But that's
Speaker 1: what it is, though, Like my job is to go
Speaker 1: out there and win and kick everyone's butt, like that
Speaker 1: is the job. So I get how that's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to understand. But I've also like tried to explain
Speaker 1: that for years, that like we're all like that. Um,
Speaker 1: I may be one of the more aggressive guys on
Speaker 1: the race track, and I think that's where a lot
Speaker 1: of this all comes from, is that I don't get
Speaker 1: I don't like getting pushed around, and I always pushed
Speaker 1: back every time someone pushes me. So I think that
Speaker 1: aggressive nature has kind of shown a lot on the track.
Speaker 1: And when you don't get to explain yourself after the
Speaker 1: race very well, it looks like people can interpret it
Speaker 1: however they want, right, And so you kind of you
Speaker 1: get kind of both both sides. Not everybody hates me, Okay,
Speaker 1: I agree, there's some people are passionate with passion. Listen,
Speaker 1: I would like to take every Alabama football fan and
Speaker 1: shake them, because you know market But as individual people,
Speaker 1: I probably like most every one of them. But the groups,
Speaker 1: we don't like each other because we almost it's like
Speaker 1: a respective hatred because we love our people and we
Speaker 1: respect how good they are. We don't want them to
Speaker 1: beat our people, so all of a sudden we don't
Speaker 1: like that fan base. Well, it's great about it is passion, right,
Speaker 1: and that's how build sports is that you're passionate about
Speaker 1: your team or your driver, whoever that is. And a
Speaker 1: lot of times when you're very passionate about the person,
Speaker 1: there's a team you like, you naturally just don't like
Speaker 1: the others because they're trying to beat that, trying to
Speaker 1: take your team down. Right. You know, it's funny you
Speaker 1: say that when I so, I do this show five
Speaker 1: days a week, I have a couple of TV shows,
Speaker 1: and I tour doing stand up. But when I'm not working,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't talk like I live my life.
Speaker 1: Look at me, I'm the center of attention. But the
Speaker 1: one I'm not, I'm it's I'm a complete introvert. And
Speaker 1: so when you're saying that, like you're super aggressive when
Speaker 1: you're driving and you're like the nicest dude when you
Speaker 1: walk in, there's a switch I kind of have to
Speaker 1: flip off. You have to flip one on. I gotta flip.
Speaker 1: But it's like almost two different people. Do you when
Speaker 1: you're driving in the Are you aggressive when you're driving
Speaker 1: on you know, main Street? No, not not as much.
Speaker 1: Maybe I used to beat more than I should be.
Speaker 1: Kids changed all that for me. Okay, like you kind
Speaker 1: of like all of a sudden as a kid in
Speaker 1: back seat, I gotta be a little smarter now. Um.
Speaker 1: And now when someone goes flying by me down the highway,
Speaker 1: I'm like you, you know, do you like cars outside
Speaker 1: of racing? Oh? Absolutely, I am a huge car guy.
Speaker 1: Antique cars, old cars, That's that's my my thing more
Speaker 1: than anything. Um, but you have a garage of cars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's probably too I have a car problem. Oh how
Speaker 1: many I like shoes? His shoes? Morgan? What is your
Speaker 1: next educated question for joy Logano? I want to go
Speaker 1: back to like the drama of it all because that's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite parts. Um. So, obviously you're going
Speaker 1: to get into altercations with other drivers. It's happened. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you get into physical fights with other drivers, but then
Speaker 1: you have to race alongside them for sometimes like years
Speaker 1: and years to come. So what's the process of making amends?
Speaker 1: Because NASCAR fans never forget, They never forget neither the drivers.
Speaker 1: They remember everything too. And it's gonna happen, right because
Speaker 1: we compete against it's the same drivers every week, right,
Speaker 1: It's it's a traveling circuses I call it is that
Speaker 1: you're going from racetrack to race track, race in the
Speaker 1: same car, same driver, same teams. And you think about
Speaker 1: other sports football if we keep making references to football,
Speaker 1: so we'll do that. You compete against a team and
Speaker 1: then you may not compete against him again all year,
Speaker 1: or maybe it's three or four months before you see
Speaker 1: him again. There's time to like kind of let it settle.
Speaker 1: But when like something happens one week and then next
Speaker 1: week there he is again right in front of you.
Speaker 1: You know, like, oh what am I gonna do? Right?
Speaker 1: Like you you all, it hasn't died off yet, Like
Speaker 1: it's still that feeling, the anger, it's all still there. Um,
Speaker 1: So you react in different ways. And I did a
Speaker 1: lot of it the wrong way earlier in my career,
Speaker 1: and all part of that's just coming into sports so young.
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for fifteen years now, and I
Speaker 1: started when I was eighteen. And so, just like probably
Speaker 1: everyone in this room, you did some stupid things when
Speaker 1: you're eighteen. Ye don't know. I did it in front
Speaker 1: of everyone on TV, and so they remember that, and
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason why they don't like me.
Speaker 1: Now it's another piece of that small group because a
Speaker 1: very passionate Yeah, that's right, um, but but it's kind
Speaker 1: of high how you do it right, and you have
Speaker 1: to earn respect out there. A lot of times the
Speaker 1: best way to earn respect is by giving respect. But
Speaker 1: you also have to stay in your ground right. You
Speaker 1: can't get pushed around either. So there's just a balance
Speaker 1: between all that. So when I'm driving, sometimes I'll get
Speaker 1: in the car and I'll drive somewhere and I'll be like, dang,
Speaker 1: I'm already here. I guess I zoned out. Do you
Speaker 1: ever like daydream and zone out while you're driving? No,
Speaker 1: Now it's different, like I mean, yes, when I'm driving
Speaker 1: down the road, Yes, Like how did I get here?
Speaker 1: Or you take a wrong turn, You're like, why I'm
Speaker 1: impouring milk on my head? Right in the race car,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's very intense, right because you're pushing, uh, you, yourself,
Speaker 1: your vehicle at the absolute limit, and if you lose
Speaker 1: focus for a second, you hit the wall, right, and
Speaker 1: then your race is over you, right, and so your
Speaker 1: your heart rate is high. You're it's very intense. You're
Speaker 1: focused in like this ultra focus, and so it can't
Speaker 1: really you can't really compare it very well to drive
Speaker 1: in a car. Okay, let me make this comparison, because
Speaker 1: you do race a lot um. So I hosted American
Speaker 1: Idol once one secret was out and now I was.
Speaker 1: I was on the show anyway, and they say, hey,
Speaker 1: we need you to host because Ryan's sick. So I
Speaker 1: go up and I didn't feel like the moment was
Speaker 1: too big for me. And I've done a lot of
Speaker 1: hosting things. And as I'm doing it, we're on camera whatever,
Speaker 1: I find myself wondering what the score of the football
Speaker 1: game is that I'm missing because of this, because I'm
Speaker 1: I'm I'm comfortable. I'm still doing a plus job. But
Speaker 1: I find myself do you ever are you ever driving
Speaker 1: in your race and you're like, man, I wonder what's that?
Speaker 1: What we're cooking for dinner tonight? No? Dang, Now, I
Speaker 1: mean I don't know if every driver will answer that
Speaker 1: the same as I do, But I don't like I
Speaker 1: literally zone into something where it takes all my focus
Speaker 1: where I can't. I can't. Maybe maybe you're smarter than
Speaker 1: me to where you can handle more than one. That's
Speaker 1: what it is. You're a champion. I can't do it. Morgan.
Speaker 1: Next question, Okay, so rookies they have to have like
Speaker 1: stripes on their car, right right? Yeah? Is there any
Speaker 1: spoken or unspoken like initiation process as a rookie? And
Speaker 1: I know you're no longer one, obviously, but when you
Speaker 1: were a rookie, did you ever have any moments with
Speaker 1: veteran drivers where you're like, Wow, they're ruthless. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, so when you're a rookie in the in
Speaker 1: the in the Cup Series, they put a stripe on
Speaker 1: the back bumper. It's called the Ricky stripe. So everybody
Speaker 1: knows this is a new guy, right, Like you don't.
Speaker 1: This guy may not know the magnet on the car.
Speaker 1: Patient with me, please. It's like one of those things.
Speaker 1: And um, I mean it definitely is Like a lot
Speaker 1: of the drivers that have been around for a while,
Speaker 1: it's almost like they set the tone pretty pretty aggressively
Speaker 1: with that driver, right they try to take control of
Speaker 1: like hey, welcome to the big league moments right like
Speaker 1: here we are. You know, this is how we race.
Speaker 1: We're not standing up for this or or whatever it
Speaker 1: may be. And I went through this like a lot,
Speaker 1: and it's funny. So I went through this a lot
Speaker 1: with with Kevin Harbick earlier in my career, and we
Speaker 1: had a couple pushing, shoving matches and back and forth
Speaker 1: on the racetrack and it's just like a it's really
Speaker 1: hard to deal with. Um. And it's funny because now
Speaker 1: looking back at it, and I was talking to him
Speaker 1: last night, We're eating dinner together and we were talking
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff, and I get it now,
Speaker 1: like now they've been around for a long time, I
Speaker 1: realized where I was screwing up and what I was
Speaker 1: doing wrong and how I came into the sport the
Speaker 1: wrong way. And I understand why he did what he did,
Speaker 1: but I didn't when I was eighteen years old. So
Speaker 1: it's funny that, like you can go through all that
Speaker 1: and then you can have a friendship kind of away
Speaker 1: from the racetrack and talking about it. You know, here
Speaker 1: we are ten twelve years later after that. But kind
Speaker 1: of funny how it all works out. Are you familiar
Speaker 1: with the band a CDC? I am, okay a little.
Speaker 1: They're still here a little before my time, a little
Speaker 1: before years obviously. So they have a lead guitarist named
Speaker 1: Angus Young and he goes out and he says every
Speaker 1: night he loses like five to six pounds because he
Speaker 1: goes so hard. Now there's a lot of intensity and
Speaker 1: what you do for hours at a time in a
Speaker 1: full body suit, do you lose weight from the time
Speaker 1: you get in the car to the time you get out?
Speaker 1: And does that does it affect what you eat that
Speaker 1: day or how much you drink that day? Yes? Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: So our race car is like we don't have air conditioning,
Speaker 1: We don't have like a lot of the creature comforts
Speaker 1: that you guys have in your car while you're driving
Speaker 1: down the road. Because it weighs a lot. It robs
Speaker 1: horsepower from the car, so it gets really hot. Right,
Speaker 1: So now our engines are running at you know, eighty
Speaker 1: seven hundred rpm and we don't have air conditioning, so
Speaker 1: that's quite the water heater in front of us. And
Speaker 1: you can imagine that the water temps are, you know,
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty, two hundred and sixty degrees, like it's
Speaker 1: it's hot. Well, all that that temperature from the headers,
Speaker 1: the engine, all that stuff gets just put throughout the
Speaker 1: whole car. So a good rule of thumb, it's forty
Speaker 1: degrees warmer inside the car than the outside air temps.
Speaker 1: So if it's a ninety degree day, it's one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty degrees inside the car. You're in there for
Speaker 1: three three and a half hours throughout a five hundred
Speaker 1: mile race. Uh so, yeah, you're gonna sweat a lot
Speaker 1: and you're working the whole time. Right, you have to
Speaker 1: stay focused, you have to do all this. But we
Speaker 1: train for it, right, It's not like it's it sounds
Speaker 1: like you guys are all looking at me like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, this sounds miserable, and sometimes it is, but
Speaker 1: you train for it every week. You hydrate, you eat correctly,
Speaker 1: you do all the things, just like any other athlete
Speaker 1: before they prepare for a game. It's the same for
Speaker 1: us as we prepare for a race. Dang, that's hod.
Speaker 1: Do you have like a little fan? They make them
Speaker 1: on Amazon. You put them around your neck and it's
Speaker 1: a great idea. I do have a on top of
Speaker 1: the helmet. You see there's a little air duct on
Speaker 1: the top because mine are the real one, well and both,
Speaker 1: but on the top in the back they plug in
Speaker 1: and that's where you get outside air blowing into your
Speaker 1: helmet so you can breathe fresh air so you don't
Speaker 1: like and it goes to like a CEO filter so
Speaker 1: where you don't get sick and all that from the fumes.
Speaker 1: So that's that's pretty much all you got, Dan, That's
Speaker 1: that's hard core Morgan. Next question, Okay, so you mentioned
Speaker 1: race preparation. A lot goes into it before you actually
Speaker 1: make it to the track. I want to know what
Speaker 1: area you think most drivers like they slack the most in,
Speaker 1: if it's the sim or what part they look forward
Speaker 1: to the least. I think probably every driver finds their
Speaker 1: own way to prepare, right like everybody finds their own
Speaker 1: way and what works for them. And you have to
Speaker 1: realize what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are
Speaker 1: and try to play to those and um. And you know,
Speaker 1: for me, um, the only way I'm going to feel
Speaker 1: confident is if I do all the prep work. UM.
Speaker 1: So it's really like a lot of film review for me,
Speaker 1: a lot of meetings with the engineers and going through
Speaker 1: a lot of the setup stuff. Like that's where I
Speaker 1: really feel like I can impact a team the most
Speaker 1: and where I can help myself be prepared the most
Speaker 1: when it gets the race time. But like others go
Speaker 1: to the simulator a lot, I don't believe in the
Speaker 1: sim I don't. I don't. I don't believe in the
Speaker 1: sim I don't. I don't go there. There's like a
Speaker 1: this racing like simulator. You get in and it's like
Speaker 1: a like the coolest video game of all time, but
Speaker 1: it's pretty realistic, but not all the way realistic. And
Speaker 1: so you can, like, to me, I think I can
Speaker 1: form a lot of bad habits and steer the team
Speaker 1: down the wrong direction, and so I don't believe in
Speaker 1: it one hundred percent. So I don't work for rosh
Speaker 1: Chest saying this season he did a video game move. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's correct. They're not, but anybody
Speaker 1: did it? Yeah, he's like he's but yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's just Um. Everyone finds their way, Like you guys
Speaker 1: prepare for the show in different ways. I'm sure everybody
Speaker 1: has a different role in different jobs and and do
Speaker 1: it differently. Um, it's the same for us, all right.
Speaker 1: We have two questions each. So some of my athlete
Speaker 1: friends and some that I just know of it in
Speaker 1: their contracts say they can't ski or they can't bungee
Speaker 1: jump because they have obligations to UM, their their sponsor
Speaker 1: or their team. Are those in your deals with them too?
Speaker 1: Because you are an athlete for sure, and you don't
Speaker 1: want to hurt yourself, So you can't drive? Can you
Speaker 1: snow ski? Um? It says in there, just don't be
Speaker 1: an idiot. Basically, it's very like, don't don't go do
Speaker 1: something and get yourself hurt. If you do, you're out.
Speaker 1: Do you based on that though, Like if you're yeah,
Speaker 1: coloradi be like I'm not gonna I'm probably not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. I mean I went skiing with my son
Speaker 1: actually this week, but he four, and we stayed on
Speaker 1: the bunny hill and I was teaching them how to
Speaker 1: ski and we were kind of going on the game.
Speaker 1: But no, I did not go to the top and
Speaker 1: try to go down because I just know I don't
Speaker 1: want to take that risk. Motorcycles, would you, I don't
Speaker 1: do I mean ever write a quad a lot, like
Speaker 1: I've ride a lot of stuff off road because that's
Speaker 1: to me, that's like that's how I grew up. And
Speaker 1: in a way it kind of keeps me sharp when
Speaker 1: we're not in the race car like this just thing. Right,
Speaker 1: it's not easy to just go practice. Like I can't
Speaker 1: pick up a ball and go shoot hoops. Right, I
Speaker 1: can't just go get in a race car and drive
Speaker 1: it in my front yard. And right, I think that
Speaker 1: that I'm getting somewhere with it, Like it's not that
Speaker 1: simple or easy for us. So video there's there's that
Speaker 1: there's also to me, it's just driving something at its edge,
Speaker 1: whatever it is, whether it's a car of Oh, I
Speaker 1: love this stuff. I love driving car. No, I would
Speaker 1: never do that, never ever. I don't like heights. I'll
Speaker 1: stay on the ground. Um. But I do think anytime
Speaker 1: you can push yourself to the limit, um inside a vehicle,
Speaker 1: I think helps you on race day. Morgan, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: curious about the Nashville paragrounds because there's going to be
Speaker 1: a vote early next year that's basically going to help
Speaker 1: determine if NASCAR is going to raise Stirkin And you'll
Speaker 1: have not raced there since the eighties. Why is this
Speaker 1: a track like Dale Junior and other current drivers are
Speaker 1: so vocal about wanting to get back on the series.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it's a great question. That's how
Speaker 1: you know she's into this. She knows about the fair
Speaker 1: Grounds after all here and Rosh she knows that too. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's very educated. I would say that the main reason
Speaker 1: for the Fairground, I think is it's a very historic facility,
Speaker 1: is not far from downtown, which is really good. I
Speaker 1: think we learned that a lot this year is if
Speaker 1: we bring the races to the people, it is a
Speaker 1: whole different experience. Right when we raced at the La Caliseum,
Speaker 1: right we're racing downtown, the place was packed, and I
Speaker 1: think it was it was close to seventy percent of
Speaker 1: the people there were first time racers, race fans like
Speaker 1: never been to the racetrack before. Seventy percent of the
Speaker 1: people there have never been to one before, so they
Speaker 1: think about the people that we haven't really reached out
Speaker 1: to yet. So I think a lot of times bringing
Speaker 1: the racetrack to the people. The fair grounds kind of
Speaker 1: amplishes that. It's an old facility that has a historic vibe, right,
Speaker 1: that throwback vibe. It's kind of cool. So I look
Speaker 1: forward to it. Hopefully we can all make it work. Right.
Speaker 1: We're doing that North Wilkesporow this year at the All
Speaker 1: Star Races when other racetracks been shut down for years.
Speaker 1: So it shut down for shooting. I don't know how long,
Speaker 1: thirty years, Yeah, a long time. Jor has also been
Speaker 1: really big on that. Well, he's a big throwback guy,
Speaker 1: so it makes sense. But it's cool that, like, you know,
Speaker 1: Dale Junior was our most popular driver for years, and
Speaker 1: you know now that he's retired and he's doing TV stuff,
Speaker 1: but he still cares so much about the sport that
Speaker 1: he's always looking for ways to you know, keep things
Speaker 1: going along and doing different things. And he has that
Speaker 1: throwback you know, passion that he's always pushing, which is great.
Speaker 1: Joey Logano is here and not talking about anymore specifically
Speaker 1: or even yourself at all, but sometimes when guys will
Speaker 1: hop out of the car and they'll start swinging at
Speaker 1: each other. Why would you take your helmet off when
Speaker 1: you not you? But like, if you're gonna fight, why
Speaker 1: take off protection? In any world I see him take
Speaker 1: their helmet off and then go to town. Football players
Speaker 1: do it too, Like why would you take your helmet off? Well,
Speaker 1: you kind of, but you have to, like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I feel like you have to like that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think like, yeah, you gotta take it off, like the
Speaker 1: Roman Warriors didn't go. Okay, time to battle, pull your
Speaker 1: helmets off, guys, you leave it in a case. It's
Speaker 1: not about being smart in that moment. Okay, Like you're
Speaker 1: already doing something stupid. You're fighting. It's already dumb in
Speaker 1: the first place, so we might as to go all
Speaker 1: out and take your helmet off while you're doing it. Okay,
Speaker 1: extra dumb. Do you feel it if you get hit
Speaker 1: or you drinalie? What if you get punched? Don't like
Speaker 1: at a rate at a race? Oh like like in
Speaker 1: the car. No, Let's say you and me we're running
Speaker 1: beside each other and I'm like, pull over? Is that
Speaker 1: what you do? Point at the side. That's so you
Speaker 1: get Let's say you're get in a fight wherever you
Speaker 1: wherever you guys fight, like on the side after the race,
Speaker 1: are you you're a drinaling up so much that you
Speaker 1: don't really feel it. Then it's really not that many fights.
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen that off. It's not a hockey game.
Speaker 1: Um And and honestly I haven't been involved in one
Speaker 1: in quite some time now, um because mainly my son
Speaker 1: can watch YouTube. Now that's your lives. It lives forever,
Speaker 1: and so right like, um, there's better ways to handle it.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I made a lot of dumb mistakes
Speaker 1: from if it happens yeah, or just handle it differently.
Speaker 1: I think that helmet, Yeah, I want to see you
Speaker 1: rocking in a helmet like I told him. I told him,
Speaker 1: all right, Morgan. Last question, Okay, last question. I try
Speaker 1: and convert all my friends into NASCAR fans because I
Speaker 1: just feel like it's so slept on Morgan over their nose.
Speaker 1: What's your best elevator pitch For the people listening that
Speaker 1: have never watched a race or given NASCAR chance, I
Speaker 1: think you gotta go to one to really get the
Speaker 1: full experience, right Like, just like most sports like on
Speaker 1: TV is great right to Washington and has all that.
Speaker 1: But when you go to a race in person and
Speaker 1: you feel all the cars come by the first time, right,
Speaker 1: you have forty cars going, you know, one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty to two hundred miles an hour by you, Uh,
Speaker 1: that feeling, you can't replicate it anywhere, Like there's there's
Speaker 1: no like think about, like if you've ever been sitting
Speaker 1: on side of the road when you have a flat
Speaker 1: tire or something like that, while you're waiting for a
Speaker 1: triple A and you see all the cars going by
Speaker 1: at seventy miles an hour and they look like they're
Speaker 1: hauling the mail, right, Like they look like they're going
Speaker 1: fast at seventy well like triple that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you're more than double at least how
Speaker 1: much faster it we're going. And they're allowed, and they're
Speaker 1: bumping and banging and doing it. It's awesome. Like I
Speaker 1: fell in love with this when I was a kid,
Speaker 1: when I was six or seven years old, and I
Speaker 1: haven't changed a bit since then. Like I'm always going
Speaker 1: to be a race fan first, but like the feeling
Speaker 1: of the adrenaline all that stuff going is cool. And
Speaker 1: then as you start to learn to detail the technical
Speaker 1: side of the sport, the strategy side of the sport,
Speaker 1: it just keeps getting deep. Or just like every other sport, right,
Speaker 1: like there's a casual way of watching it and then
Speaker 1: you can just fully immerse yourself into all the details.
Speaker 1: What are you involved in? Enjoy that? Like brings purpose
Speaker 1: to why you race cars? Meaning you get to do this,
Speaker 1: you get a platform. So with that platform you like
Speaker 1: to do blank. Yeah, that's a great question. And that's
Speaker 1: what they say. What's the why? Right, like why do
Speaker 1: you you? And you know, my wife's said it best
Speaker 1: to me one time. Um, once we were we got
Speaker 1: married a few years ago, she has been, oh it's
Speaker 1: almost eight don't stay that wrong. This is a live
Speaker 1: right now. Um, And she said to me, she goes,
Speaker 1: when when you're on your deathbed, do you want people
Speaker 1: or trophies? And that was kind of like the eye
Speaker 1: opening experience for me, and I said, I want both,
Speaker 1: and I think I could do that because I think
Speaker 1: you can take a trophy and do something with it, right, Like,
Speaker 1: no one's gonna remember we won the championship this year.
Speaker 1: Fifteen years from now, no one's gonna care. No one's
Speaker 1: gonna know. It's just gonna be stating a history book
Speaker 1: that someone's gonna look at and it's gonna move on.
Speaker 1: But if you take the platform that God's given me
Speaker 1: here to do something that impacts people for a long
Speaker 1: period of time, uh, that's that's something that lasts for generations. Um.
Speaker 1: And that's why we started Joey Lgono Foundation. We give
Speaker 1: second chances that children and young adults from times a chrisis,
Speaker 1: a lot of foster foster kids, foster families, UM, kids
Speaker 1: they just haven't been dealt maybe the best of hands. Uh,
Speaker 1: and they need they just need some loving, right, they
Speaker 1: just need somebody to support them, help them, you know,
Speaker 1: become a contributing member of society. Uh. And we work
Speaker 1: with a lot of organizations that do that. And basically
Speaker 1: we use our our race, fans, our platform and all
Speaker 1: that to pour a little bit of fuel on the
Speaker 1: sparks that these other organizations are doing. Right. That's we're
Speaker 1: trying to bring some some light to what they're doing.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the why, right, That's that's the whole
Speaker 1: reason why we really do what we do. So if
Speaker 1: not these trophies are they're empty cups like it doesn't
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Speaker 1: So that's that's the main reason here. Well my last
Speaker 1: not even real question, but you have a ring on
Speaker 1: that is a monster. What is that? That's the championship
Speaker 1: ring from from this year. So they gave this to me.
Speaker 1: That's the one right there. It's a it's a little
Speaker 1: big and gaudy. It's a little flashier than I typically
Speaker 1: and this is a pretty flashy thing to do. But
Speaker 1: what is it? Felt like? It's you know, we're here
Speaker 1: for the banquet. It's probably like the only time that
Speaker 1: I can wear it without like feeling like I'm a
Speaker 1: It's a bellbuckle, you know. Yeah, it's help. It's a bellbuckle,
Speaker 1: like ed we will get We headlined the the in Wyoming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a Freedom Frontier, big deal. So Eddie, we headlined
Speaker 1: that show and they gave us the big belt buckles
Speaker 1: in it. It's not as big as ring. That's not
Speaker 1: as big as that ring. It's it's it's heavy, it's
Speaker 1: a little much, but hey, you know what if we
Speaker 1: won the whole thing, I'm right, well, I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 1: You are my favorite driver Am I the only one
Speaker 1: you ever met? Though? No? No, all right, no, not
Speaker 1: at all. I have the one we've met a few
Speaker 1: Tony Steward like her feet. It was weird. Do you
Speaker 1: know him? Do you know? Yeah? Did you know he's
Speaker 1: maybe maybe has a foot fetish? I did not know this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was talking to her about the feet. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: kept staring on the air or like afternod we were
Speaker 1: out of a creepy conversation about her feet, race and
Speaker 1: maybe interviewing him for something, and he kept looking at
Speaker 1: them and then I don't know what he like. He
Speaker 1: walked well, So we don't have to spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time on this. Yeah, I feel like I gotta
Speaker 1: know more. Okay, you have nice feet. Favorite driver it's Morgan?
Speaker 1: Who did I just who? Did? I just do the
Speaker 1: TV show with hell Bush? You know what? That guy?
Speaker 1: You know. Here's the thing, I'll be honest with the
Speaker 1: joy I get on this and I'm not supposed to
Speaker 1: say what show was yet, But we did a show
Speaker 1: together and I didn't know. I didn't know who he was,
Speaker 1: and I thought they brought on like a fan, like
Speaker 1: be a part that went over well, and I was
Speaker 1: just confused. And I said, because he had his house
Speaker 1: was in the background, and I said, dang, whatever you
Speaker 1: do must pay. Well, I didn't know it was and
Speaker 1: I think he thought I was kidding, but I wasn't
Speaker 1: because I didn't know who he was. And then later
Speaker 1: I realized he was a driver, and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: this is Kyle Bush. And I remember somebody was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's Kyle Busch and what's he known for? Um, because
Speaker 1: the reaction wasn't positive when I said that to who
Speaker 1: I was with, they were like, oh, yeah, that's Kyle Bull.
Speaker 1: He's he's a love him or hate him type of okay,
Speaker 1: just a big personality. He's a big personality. He's very
Speaker 1: emotional and and really speaks his mind a lot. Um.
Speaker 1: And he's a character, right, He's he's a character in
Speaker 1: our sport for sure. He's a very only to the
Speaker 1: race car driver, uh you know, he's one of the
Speaker 1: best on the race track. Um. I ended up liking
Speaker 1: him just fine. I just didn't know who it was
Speaker 1: at first, and I thought he thought I was joking,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't. I don't know. I just thought it
Speaker 1: was a dude who I was teamed. I didn't it
Speaker 1: was a whole thing. But in the end, look at
Speaker 1: us either my favorite I met him, I met Bush,
Speaker 1: I met Denny Hamlin. You met met Hamlin. And you
Speaker 1: know this guy Ross now Ross Destiny. Yeah, Joey, you're

Speaker 1: a home. I kind of bought your love. That's okay,
Speaker 1: you know it. Actually put your quarterstep back because I
