[H. Foley]

Well, thanks for coming in.

[Kevin James Ryan]

It's all the time we have today.

[H. Foley]

Get out of here.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. My people were tobacco farmers, both sides, generations back.

[H. Foley]

No kidding.

[Leanne Morgan]

In middle Tennessee, on the Kentucky. Tennessee border. I was raised in a town of 500. I was always told 500. Now I think it's 625.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Things are going well.

[H. Foley]

Baby boom.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. But I was born in Bowling Green. My dad was cutting meat at Kroger and was a meat cutter. And like at 22, 23 years old. Then we moved back to our home place where all of our people were and ran a grocery store and had a meat processing plant. He ended up doing that. And a farm and a tobacco farm. About 100 acre tobacco farm. And had a man that sharecropped and he did alfalfa, corn, soybeans, but mostly dark fired tobacco man.

[H. Foley]

That's a diverse combo right there. Alfalfa, long cut.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know. And it was in this little bitty country town, but it's outside of Nashville, like 35 miles northwest of Nashville, Tennessee. So there was, you know, we did ride into town.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

Of we'd go. The doctor in the mall.

[Kevin James Ryan]

The doctor in the mall.

[Leanne Morgan]

The doctor and the mall.

[Kevin James Ryan]

The doctor and the mall. I wasn't sure how.

[H. Foley]

The doctor wasn't in the mall, was he?

[Leanne Morgan]

No, I think they've shut that mall down that I grew up going to. Because they said people were shooting people.

[H. Foley]

And medical practice.

[Kevin James Ryan]

She says that like she doesn't believe it. They said people were shooting people. I didn't see nothing here. Nothing.

[Leanne Morgan]

But that was where all the country music stars lived. So country music. All those Porter Wagner, Johnny Cash, all those kind of people lived over in the area, close to where I was raised. The Opry and all that.

[H. Foley]

Pretty sweet.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. I would see people, you know, out and about.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Really?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[H. Foley]

You see Johnny Cash, you see him at the mall.

[Leanne Morgan]

40 Wagner at the mall that closed down, but he's no longer with us. And then Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash were at Sherwin Williams buying paint.

[H. Foley]

Get out of here.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yes.

[H. Foley]

That's gotta be made up because.

[Leanne Morgan]

No, it's not.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Because country weren't buying their own paint. They didn't have a paint guy.

[Leanne Morgan]

That's how country music.

[H. Foley]

I need an eggshell white.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Wow. I mean, what a go we had. One of the questions that we. We ask is, who's the most famous person you have ever met or saw? And early on, early on, it would.

[H. Foley]

Be like a local newscaster usually, but yeah, buying paint.

[Leanne Morgan]

And the Mandrell sisters. I don't know. Y' all may be too. I know.

[H. Foley]

The Mandrell sisters.

[Leanne Morgan]

The Mandrell sisters. I saw. And bras at Dillard's.

[Kevin James Ryan]

At Dillard.

[Leanne Morgan]

At Dillard's. In Rivergate Mall.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's a great mall name too. The River Gate. Is that the one that's closed? The River Gate?

[Leanne Morgan]

Close it.

[H. Foley]

Because the shootings.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Alleged.

[H. Foley]

Allegedly drive by shooting. All right, let's go back. So you. You've all your. Your family has always had this farm, right?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[H. Foley]

Okay. But somebody else worked. Somebody else took care of it.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[H. Foley]

So it's just kind of in the family.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. But we got. We got out there and worked in it some. I mean, I've. I've picked tobacco plants. I've dropped sticks, they call it. I've worked in tobacco. What's dropping sticks in the rows where they chop the tobacco? Lay it down. You lay down sticks. So then they pick a stick up, put the tobacco plant on it. Then that's hung on a scaffolding, and then that's taken to a barn and smoked like a low fire beneath and cured. That's how they cure it.

[H. Foley]

I didn't know it was smoked.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I didn't know that at all. As much tobacco as I consumed, I never knew it. I never knew the process.

[Leanne Morgan]

Did you smoke cigarettes?

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

I did too.

[H. Foley]

Big heaters.

[Leanne Morgan]

I did, too.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Well, how. What age did you start?

[Leanne Morgan]

I didn't start until I was like, 19.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Really?

[H. Foley]

What's the brand? What were you smoking?

[Leanne Morgan]

Marlboro Light.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Kevin James Ryan]

How good is.

[Leanne Morgan]

I loved them. Loved them.

[Kevin James Ryan]

They were. They were good when they were good.

[Leanne Morgan]

They were good when they were good. But there was a monkey on my back.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Amen.

[Leanne Morgan]

And I'm thankful to get off of that. Do not be hooked on there.

[H. Foley]

I got six of them on me. Let's go back. So you have the farm, but your dad was working at a Kroger?

[Leanne Morgan]

He was. And then my grandparents had a grocery store in that little town. And farms and farms on both sides. My mom's parents. And they said, would you come back and run this store? So my dad went back and ran the grocery store, and it's. And this is how old timing this is gonna sound like Gunsmoke. Okay.

[H. Foley]

He was also a bounty hunter.

[Leanne Morgan]

You could. Back then, farmers, you had a credit and you could just charge stuff, and then you didn't have to pay for it until your crop came in. Whoa.

[H. Foley]

That's pretty sweet.

[Leanne Morgan]

So you didn't make a lot of money. And so. But all these people started asking him to cut up their sides of beef, their cows and their hogs and all. Deer hunters and all that. So he opened up a meat processing plant when I was in sixth grade that was very successful. Really well. It worked them like Meals. I mean, it was hard labor, but.

[H. Foley]

Like, how big of an operation are we talking?

[Leanne Morgan]

Well, I mean, my family worked in it. My grandpa, both grandfathers worked in it. Two aunts, high school kids. They'd hire them.

[H. Foley]

Like, would it be considered commercial?

[Leanne Morgan]

No, it was for. It was like one of these grandparents in there.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

But it was. Everything was, you know, fd. What is it? When the government FDA approved. Yeah. They come in and I. I just assumed. Inspector.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah.

[H. Foley]

All right. Yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

It was very clean. It was very clean.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You got a thing with the law. You know, allegedly, there was shooting.

[H. Foley]

It was all fdic, all approved.

[Leanne Morgan]

But. But we cut up people, Farmers, their cows, all that. But people came from all over Kentucky and Tennessee and they stayed busy for 20 something years.

[H. Foley]

I'm sorry.

[Leanne Morgan]

That's okay. My angel.

[H. Foley]

I just cut off a Southern woman. I'm finally caught up to me. Where did you guys live? Where were you guys actually living? Where was the house?

[Leanne Morgan]

The house was on, you know, it's three or two or three acres. And that meat processing plant was up in the back of that. So we shared a driveway with that.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

So I grew up. So deer season. All these people kill deer. We didn't have enough space in those freezers because they had cows and so many deer in them or what, Hogs or whatever. So if it was cold enough, they hung those deer in the trees until they could get to them. That's how busy they were. Yes. And my sister was in college trying to date, you know, cute football players. City boys of the United States. Yes. And they. And she would be so embarrassed because there would be all these carcasses and stuff hanging. But I was proud of it. But I dated little farming boys.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Country boys.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. And they were. And they would cut up their people's meat.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah. It was normal.

[Leanne Morgan]

So I was. I thought it was normal. It did not. And then we had all these dogs, stray dogs, all the meat. So there would be, you know, a fat beagle with a deer leg in his. And I had a beagle that I ran over several times, but he was so fat.

[H. Foley]

Ran him over.

[Leanne Morgan]

He said. I didn't mean to.

[H. Foley]

In the car.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. I backed on Rim. I didn't mean to.

[Kevin James Ryan]

But he lived.

[Leanne Morgan]

I mean, he was so heavy that it would just go boom.

[Kevin James Ryan]

And then he would. He got one of them, too. Yeah. Huh? What?

[Leanne Morgan]

Country. I'm talking country, okay. Very rural.

[Kevin James Ryan]

There's something about a fat beagle that just. I mean, anytime you see one, it's. That's a good.

[H. Foley]

He looked Like a star comedy gold right there. Hey, he was co starred in the TV shows back in the day. A fat beagle. You always had a fat beagle in the show, huh?

[Kevin James Ryan]

Okay, man.

[H. Foley]

How many brothers and sisters?

[Leanne Morgan]

[H. Foley]

Just you and your sister and your mom.

[Leanne Morgan]

And she's three and a half years older than me.

[H. Foley]

Okay, so it's you guys, you and your mom and your dad.

[Leanne Morgan]

[H. Foley]

But.

[Leanne Morgan]

I swear to God. Do you have one? And you don't have to tell us. Do you have one that you say it was? Or do you go, oh, it was a 3.1. Do you have a fake one? Or you just go, I'm not telling you.

[Leanne Morgan]

I'm not telling. I'll go to my grave. I'll go to my grave with my ACT score. My children try to get it out of me. And when I've got the flu and stuff and I'm hallucinating and I go, you'll never know. And then, because I had a high school teacher that said to me, when he found out what my score was, he said, you cannot get into the Indiana School of the Blind. It was very funny. And then. But anyway, I got to ut, I graduated, and then UT honors me all the time because I'm the only comedian that came out of there, really. Except Paula B. Paula Stone? No, the woman that is written on Saturday Night Live and writes all those movies and stuff with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

[Kevin James Ryan]

See if you can get that. Just do movie writer Paula. I'm telling you how to Google.

[Leanne Morgan]

Are they giving me alumni of the year? I'm going to the ball game on Saturday and they're taking me down to the field.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Alumni of the year. Does that cost you a check? You got to write a check to be the alumni of the year, right?

[Leanne Morgan]

You didn't?

[Leanne Morgan]

Should I have? I didn't. But I met my husband and he made straight A's.

[Kevin James Ryan]

And you met your husband in college.

[Leanne Morgan]

He was coming back to get an MBA and I was driving little bit of cash. I had made some horrible mistakes. Back to school, you know when men are attracted to women that have made horrible mistakes. And he fell deeply in love with me. We were waiting tables together back then. He bought my cigarettes, trying to woo me.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What do you like about that?

[Leanne Morgan]

And he later said that I smelled bad and broke up with me.

[H. Foley]

He did?

[Leanne Morgan]

He did.

[Kevin James Ryan]

And you got back with him.

[H. Foley]

He said you smelled bad.

[Leanne Morgan]

He said all this cigarette. I Can't take it. And he broke up with me. I think it was something going on with him.

[Kevin James Ryan]

[Leanne Morgan]

It was a good gig, except I had learned. I had to try to learn that French. And I didn't know what those names were. Sure, but. And I don't like to learn. Okay. And then I had been to Fort Lauderdale. I'd gotten a tan on spring break and he saw me with a tan. And then never again. When I was finishing up the undergraduate. That took me, you know, overtime like eight years. Really well, in and out, you know, all that.

[H. Foley]

That's big, though.

[Leanne Morgan]

I was more of a. Then I went later to see the Jack. I saw the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson and the Jackson. That whole album, when they're doing that. Remember that? Yeah, I went to that.

With T tops.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Whoa.

[Leanne Morgan]

It was used. But it was cute. It was very cute.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What age did you get that?

[Leanne Morgan]

Drove home and stole it. Okay. I was 16. And my grandparents helped and got it with my parents.

[H. Foley]

What year was this?

[Leanne Morgan]

And it was burgundy. Whoa. It was a 79.

[H. Foley]

That thing's huge.

[Kevin James Ryan]

And then that's why she kept running over that eagle.

[Leanne Morgan]

Let me tell you, though, I had an 81 nearer that was burgundy again. I don't know why. That.

[H. Foley]

And then a Monte Carlo as well.

[Leanne Morgan]

Uh huh. She was somebody just. I didn't even pick it out. And then she was at Austin Peay, which was right down the road. That's where she went to college. Because that's in Clarksville, Tennessee, near 101st Airborne, the Army base where the boys that flew in the seals that killed Uday and Koussay. Y' all remember that?

[Kevin James Ryan]

What a pull.

[Leanne Morgan]

That's that, man. That those.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I did not know who you were gonna say. I would. I wouldn't. A million choices. I would have never guessed who Dane Goose is.

[H. Foley]

I almost put my hand over my heart when you said that.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I don't know. Almost an F16 flyby when she said that. Wow.

[H. Foley]

Got what's coming to them.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's such a Southern. That's where the boys, man, that's the.

[Leanne Morgan]

Boys that flew them in the bad Mama jamas. And they put it. You know that sign on the side of the road that flashes like merge? Here they put Uday or dead, thanks.

[Kevin James Ryan]

To our good boy. And that was at another mall.

[Leanne Morgan]

Not the mall that got shut down, another mall. It was pointing and it said Uday and Koussay are dead.

[H. Foley]

Oh, man, that's awesome.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. But she went to Austin Peay. So she came home in the middle of the night and stole my first Monte Carlo. That was the 81. She had the 79, switched them in the driveway and then just took off. And nobody said anything because they were scared of her. So then I drove the 79. But it was pretty cool. Any T tops?

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's pretty cool. T tops on anything's cool.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, and that's what I ran over everybody in. Because nobody taught me how to drive. They were busy cutting meat. They said, let's take one, roll around the Methodist church parking lot. And then.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah, get your license, run and gun. Yeah.

[H. Foley]

What was your first job? Working on the farm, I would assume at a younger age.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, I worked in the meat in farm, in the tobacco, as a little bitty kin. I want good help, but I thought it was cool. And I would do it, but it was hot. And then she said that with her hands. And then I. I would do meat. When they needed help, my sister and I would wrap meat.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Wrap.

[Leanne Morgan]

That's not fun. Okay. Smells weird. Sure you have.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I was never good at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was tough.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, it's tough. It is tough. Not fun. I wanted to work at Wendy's or something so bad. I wanted to drive into town that was like 20 minutes away and work at a fast food because everybody was starting to do that, but they needed me back home.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah. You got a family business.

[H. Foley]

Was that your grocery store that you guys would go to your family one like to get stuff for the house?

[Leanne Morgan]

No. By the time, not much. Cause it wasn't big enough. It just had what you needed. After we sold it, they didn't keep a lot there. So we'd go into town like Gunsmoke. So we go to either Springfield or Clarksville and do our main. At a Kroger.

[Kevin James Ryan]

At a Kroger.

[H. Foley]

At a Kroger. It'd be a Kroger. Okay.

[Kevin James Ryan]

And what were the family vacations like growing up?

[Leanne Morgan]

We would go. They worked a lot. My dad worked a lot and my mama. But we would go to Florida, you know, every Few years, we go to the Smoky Mountains. I'm very close. I Now live like 30 minutes from the Smoky Mountains.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Beautiful.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I was. It is beautiful. But I was raised in middle Tennessee, so that was, you know, kind of like five hours away. We would also, if we just needed a weekend getaway, we would go over into Kentucky to Kentucky Lakes and go to the state park at the motel. Probably was a motel because they had an in ground pool. That was a big deal. That's a big deal for country kids. And we would go to Owensboro or Paducah to this executive inn that had a Paducah, Kentucky, that would have a buffet.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Very nice.

[Leanne Morgan]

And an in ground pool.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's big.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. And I saw Kentucky Fried Chicken, the man that started that in his 90s, Colonel Sanders @ the buffet in Owensboro, Kentucky.

[Kevin James Ryan]

He was. You tell me Colonel Sanders was at the buffet.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yes.

[Kevin James Ryan]

He's got all that chicken.

[H. Foley]

Guy wearing a weird tie.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, he did. He looked just like what you would think. That's a real man. That started Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's a real man.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I never thought.

[H. Foley]

I don't know to believe her.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I know.

[H. Foley]

It's the craziest story.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I never thought anybody had to convince me that Colonel Sanders was a real man. I always assumed he was.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[H. Foley]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah. Good, good chicken.

[H. Foley]

The best.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Falling off a little bit. That's just me.

[H. Foley]

He's been dead 30 years.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's true.

[H. Foley]

What do you want from the guy?

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's.

[H. Foley]

That that recipe is going to get leaked somewhere. The Internet.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Good Lord.

[H. Foley]

Yeah. Quite the tail. Who would do the cooking at the house? Your mom?

[Leanne Morgan]

My mama.

[H. Foley]

Specialties.

[Leanne Morgan]

She had a garden. So everything was. We knew where our meat came from. We killed our own bee.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Farmed a table.

[Leanne Morgan]

Farmed a table.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Before it was here.

[Leanne Morgan]

Before it was chic and vegetables and I don't remember her. I mean, there was always a cornbread or a biscuit, really. And it was. But it was home cooked. And she worked like a man and ran that. Really ran that meat house. But I mean, we would go and get like oatmeal, Little Debbies. But I didn't like them. I look back on it. I was this big. I was frail because I was eating all like farming food.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

I'd eat pinto beans after basketball practice. I was like, I'm feeling like pinto beans. You know.

[H. Foley]

What was the game situation? How far would you go with that deer? You'd have venison.

[Leanne Morgan]

I don't. I don't. Oh, really? I can't eat any wild game because I was raised in that.

[H. Foley]

That's what I'm saying. What were you eating back then?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, Okay. I was eating a lot of vegetables because they opened that when I was in sixth grade, and my sister locked me in a freezer. As soon as they opened it, she was like a hog that was hanging like that out of his neck and locked me in that freezer. And I was traumatized. And I would see all that meat, and I didn't eat meat. I'm not kidding. I was more of a vegetarian, I think pretty much a vegetarian until I went to UT and got away from it. No could eat it again. And I'm really not a big meat eater now. I'm not against it or anything. I want to eat it, and I need this protein because I've been through menopause.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Amen, sister.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I just don't crave it. But I. But, yeah, a lot of. I was raised. They were cooking steaks and bacon and all that.

[H. Foley]

How would you get your steak cooked if you did have a steak, honey?

[Leanne Morgan]

Well, because I've been raised in that, and it's embarrassing. Every time I go to a nice restaurant, I have to go, well done, please. And then I go. I was raised on a farm. And then my. In a meat process plant, my children go, you don't have to tell everybody that. But I do feel that way. I've got to have it charred, and I don't care. I dip it in some. A1.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Will you ask for sauce if you're.

[Leanne Morgan]

I sleep on my side balled up. I like a pillow between my legs.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yes.

[H. Foley]

All right.

[Leanne Morgan]

I like to ball up that pillow.

[H. Foley]

[Leanne Morgan]

And I like. I like a slate mask. A sound machine. I got all that going on.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Good for you. No kidding.

[H. Foley]

Yeah. A TV in the bedroom.

[Leanne Morgan]

We do have a TV in bedroom. And the experts say no. But Chuck Morgan loves to set up and watch. He's a night owl and sets up. That's why I have to have a sound machine and a. All that. Because I need to go to bed.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Because I'm kind of a big dad.

[H. Foley]

Wait. So Chuck's in there watching tv.

[Kevin James Ryan]

She's kind of a big deal. She's on shows all across the country. She's gotta have a rest.

[Leanne Morgan]

I've gotta have my react.

[Kevin James Ryan]

She's doing two shows.

So wait. Chuck sits up and watches tv.

[Leanne Morgan]

He watches a lot of football, sports, basketball.

[H. Foley]

And he'll sit up and. And you'll just knock out. You'll be asleep.

[Leanne Morgan]

I'll knock out.

[H. Foley]

Does he fall asleep with the TV on?

[Leanne Morgan]

Sometimes. And I gotta reach around a tiny beagle. I got a beagle now.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Sleeps in bed with you.

[Leanne Morgan]

Sleeps in bed with me. And she's yummy. And I have to turn everything off because he falls asleep and his light on his side. I have to get up and turn that off.

[H. Foley]

We have his and her vanities in the bathroom.

[Leanne Morgan]

We do now.

[H. Foley]

Nice.

[Leanne Morgan]

Because for a long time it was tiny. And he.

[H. Foley]

Wait a long time. When did you move into this house?

[Leanne Morgan]

I just like. When was that, baby? What? End of August. End of August this year. What? Yeah. 25 years.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You were in the same house for 25 years?

[Leanne Morgan]

I raised my children in the same house.

[H. Foley]

Guys are making cash.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What are we doing? It wasn't a bad house. Okay?

[Leanne Morgan]

It was. And it was a lovely house.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Now that I have. Now that. Now that we have her here too, as well. When you know, you're. You've. So Chuck had a good job. Your. Your dad had a good job, right? Executive did. Well, then you started doing very well later in life as well.

[Leanne Morgan]

Later in life?

[Kevin James Ryan]

You know, within the early 50s, early. Within the past 10 years or so, right?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, probably about seven. Yeah.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Did you notice a significant change in income during that or. No. Once she started really cooking and this Netflix started cutting checks left and right. Chuck Lorry. She mentioned Chuck Lorre. You know what that guy's got under his belt? He ain't working with anybody.

[H. Foley]

He's got a little cash.

[Leanne Morgan]

When we got this new house.

[Kevin James Ryan]

The new house.

[Leanne Morgan]

The new house is.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You've. No, you go. Okay.

[H. Foley]

He won't turn the heat on in the pool. What are you talking about?

[Leanne Morgan]

But it's got. It's got an elevator in it.

[Kevin James Ryan]

An elevator in the house.

[Leanne Morgan]

It's got a tiny. All right, boy.

[H. Foley]

There we go.

[Leanne Morgan]

Tiny, tiny.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Little elevator and a little telephone.

[Leanne Morgan]

Because my little. Yes. Because my little mama is in a wheelchair. So when she comes, we can. And my mother in law's on a walker, so we had to take Care of all these darling elderly people. So I made my mama's room. And my daddy's still with us. But for their room I did a walk in showers.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Love it for her.

[Leanne Morgan]

And handicap all ADA accessible in case.

[Kevin James Ryan]

The government wants to come and check that. That's all ADA accessible. Okay. And that elevator's been inspected.

[Leanne Morgan]

But that. It's. I think it's a Wrigley looking little elevator.

[Kevin James Ryan]

It works. But it works.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah, yeah.

[H. Foley]

Did you guys remodel the kitchen?

[Kevin James Ryan]

I think the whole thing's been. I would assume.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yes, but not. I mean, we kept a lot of stuff that they had because it was nice.

[H. Foley]

Do we have an island?

[Leanne Morgan]

I have an island.

[H. Foley]

Very nice.

[Leanne Morgan]

Thank you. You gotta have a bigger pantry this time.

[H. Foley]

Very nice.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You walk in that.

[Leanne Morgan]

Because my other pantry was tiny and I raised all those children. It was all these pinto beans and I needed.

[Kevin James Ryan]

They love them.

[H. Foley]

Sub Z fridge. What are we talking about?

[Kevin James Ryan]

You got stainless steel in there.

[H. Foley]

Stainless steel.

[Leanne Morgan]

Stainless steel. And then this one. This is a sub zero in this new house. It is.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's Southern class. SHE WHISPERS Sub zero.

[H. Foley]

Yeah.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Sub zero.

[Leanne Morgan]

But it's. But it was theirs. I didn't get a new one.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Really?

[Leanne Morgan]

And everybody checked it and they said it was fine.

[H. Foley]

Huh?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. So it's somebody else's.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Everybody. Everybody came over. She's obsessed with people inspecting stuff if they come. You got a wine fridge in there too? Like a chilled wine fridge under, like the. Under the island?

[Leanne Morgan]

Under. It's in her daddy's. Okay.

[H. Foley]

What?

[Leanne Morgan]

He does not like to make. To spend money. But he went kind of way Chuck Morgan on his office.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Good.

[Leanne Morgan]

And there is a bar in there. Really? And there is a wine fridge in that. Under the sink.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Three bars. He's got. Wait in the house. There's three bars. All right. So he's got one in his office. Where else?

[Leanne Morgan]

The basement has a whole other kitchen with an island.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Basement's got a bar. Like. Yeah. Like an entertainment. Yeah. Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

And then. And there's a bar in the outside back porch. There's an outdoor kitchen.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Love that. You got a fridge out there too, right? You gotta have a fridge out there.

[H. Foley]

He's probably got an ice machine out there. Does Chuck have an ice machine? Yeah, of course he's got an ice machine.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What the fuck are we talking about?

[H. Foley]

Turn the heat on, Chuck.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I'm cursing in front of the southern belly.

[Leanne Morgan]

We had never had an ice machine.

[H. Foley]

That's awesome.

[Leanne Morgan]

And I thought. And we always. We never had enough ice. My refrigerator in my other house would Just spit out a couple. And on.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Steve. Leanne, you burned the ice machine. You could live in an ice machine if you wanted to. You.

[Leanne Morgan]

Thank y'. All. You heard fail by end.

[Kevin James Ryan]

No, Yeah, I know, but don't. It's celebrated here. I want to be ice machine.

[H. Foley]

I want to be in Chuck's office when he has, like. Like a half a glass or something. I'm yelling at me.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Opens up. Opens up a globe and straightening me.

[H. Foley]

Out or something like that.

[Leanne Morgan]

He put you on a budget. You need to talk to me about your budget?

[H. Foley]

Let me get you.

[Leanne Morgan]

Let's talk about it.

[Kevin James Ryan]

He's got you on a budget still?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Chuck, what are we doing?

[H. Foley]

Who's shopping now? Who's going to the grocery store? You guys get it delivered?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, sometimes. And then I do have an assistant now.

[H. Foley]

Very nice.

[Leanne Morgan]

I had two because I'm the mama and I took care of everybody. And then so she takes care of her defendant. You can't.

[H. Foley]

What are you talking about?

[Kevin James Ryan]

I'd have. I'd have assistance just to fire him.

[H. Foley]

If I were you.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You're. Listen, you've earned it. You're. I mean, come on.

[Leanne Morgan]

I'm barely at home, but I do love a grocery store, and I like to still go grocery shopping, and I don't want that to end.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Do you have a favorite grocery store that you liked it? Maybe it's not around you, but you've seen around the country anyway.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, we lived in San Antonio when my kids were little. That's where I got started in stand up in Austin at Cap City Comedy Club.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You got started at Cap City? What age did you start, if you don't mind me asking?

[Leanne Morgan]

I opened for Billy Gardelle the first time I ever worked a club at Zany's in Nashville, and I was 32.

[H. Foley]

Wow.

[Leanne Morgan]

Or 33. She was 18 months old, and she's about to turn 28.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You started comedy when I was 32.

[H. Foley]

When I started, yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

I think that's a good time.

[H. Foley]

I didn't have Chuck Morgan at home, though, I'll tell you that.

[Kevin James Ryan]

He don't got Chuck Lord. I know.

[Leanne Morgan]

I was very lucky. I got to. I did horrible gigs like everybody else does, but I got to skip a lot. But I had these three little babies. I couldn't drive, like 300 miles and make $50 and sleep in my car, of course. But I did other horrible, you know.

[Kevin James Ryan]

But, hey, listen, you made it 20 years. It's not like you made it in your first six months. You made it in your 50s.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I want People to know that. Because this is hard. Stand up is hard.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I will say I don't think anybody does not know that. From our, from our perspective, before we had ever met you, you started. We started seeing you and we were like, have you seen her? And it's like you.

[H. Foley]

100%.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You came into the public spotlight fully, professionally complete. Like killer, killer, killer.

[H. Foley]

No joke.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I mean, significantly better than both of us. Are you kidding me?

[H. Foley]

Bury me.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh yeah.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Will you sneak. I'm sorry? Will you sneak snacks into a movie theater if you do Ghost?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yes.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

I have done it all my life. And these children. Oh yeah. I'll go into now. We, you know, we'll buy it there too. But I do like to take an M. M's. I love a good peanut M and M. Okay. And I'm trying to think of what everybody. Some of my kids like sour patches, that kind of thing. And some of them like chocolate.

[H. Foley]

[Leanne Morgan]

I like a Wendy's.

[H. Foley]

What do you like?

[Leanne Morgan]

I like a Wendy's Hammer.

[H. Foley]

[Leanne Morgan]

I like a Wendy's Single.

[H. Foley]

Uh huh.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You think there's gonna be more, but I don't even. I'm just getting started. What else you got? She's. She hit you with the Wendy's single and you're like, okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I'll tell you though, I don't think there's one fast food restaurant that I don't like. I like fast food.

[H. Foley]

Yeah, me too.

[Leanne Morgan]

[H. Foley]

What's the drink?

[Leanne Morgan]

Diet Coke.

[H. Foley]

Is there a sweet tea recipe at the house? You guys do sweet tea?

[Leanne Morgan]

We don't do it a lot, but we like. I've got a daughter in law that loves it and she'll drink it. Okay, I can make it and I'll buy it. But we like an Arnold Palmer thing at a big family thing.

[H. Foley]

Were you a Crystal Light family growing up?

[Leanne Morgan]

I was not, but Chuck Morgan. Oh no, not the kids. I don't feel like. Morgan loves a Crystal Light and keeps it at all times.

[H. Foley]

Talk about no nonsense.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Guys.

[H. Foley]

The light Man, I gotta meet this guy. He's gonna hate me.

[Leanne Morgan]

No, he's not. He's gonna love y'.

[Leanne Morgan]

He would love y' all and want y' all to come stay with us. He won.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Let's say all Right. Let's live in the house still while we. Say we come over. I'm really angling to come over. Say we fly back with you tonight. You know, whatever. What. What kind of water? If we asked for a water, what would we get? Is it bottled? Is it out of the tap? Out of the fridge? What do you have? Do you have options? You got sparkling, you got. Still.

[Leanne Morgan]

I do have options now. I like to have options, but I like a bottle. I mean, and I'm trying not. I'm trying to get away from plastic. So I'm trying to buy the glass. The glass.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What kind of were you talking? Saratoga.

[Leanne Morgan]

Saratoga?

[Kevin James Ryan]

Really? I could tell. I can tell you. Saratoga girl.

[H. Foley]

Did any of the kids live with you now? Do any of you guys still live at the house?

[Leanne Morgan]

Me and my sister technically live here, but I live with her part time because I tour with her full time.

[H. Foley]

Nice. That's awesome.

[Kevin James Ryan]

So she's got to work, continue the family business.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. And my boy and his wife are going to renovate their house. And they may move in for a tiny bit with us. We wanted them during the whole thing.

[H. Foley]

Well, that'd be fun.

[Leanne Morgan]

That would be so fun. But they're going to move into my old house where my boy was raised. And that way they have their privacy. And there's a yard for the babies with their Rhine tail.

[Kevin James Ryan]

So you got the new place. You kept the old place.

[Leanne Morgan]

Right. For right now, just so they can live in it, so they didn't have to rent somewhere. And then we'll sell it.

[H. Foley]

Well, I just want to ask, with the holidays coming up, how's the Morgan family? You guys get into Christmas? You get into the holidays?

[Kevin James Ryan]

Can I get eyes on this guy?

[Leanne Morgan]

Can I Google him? He likes. He does. He can plant anything. He does flowers. Like when they were growing up, he'd put corn stalks out with bale of hay and do a fall, you know, spray out there. And then he. Yeah, he'll decorate. He doesn't mind one bit.

[H. Foley]

Is that him?

[Leanne Morgan]

You look great, too, obviously.

[Leanne Morgan]

Thank you.

[H. Foley]

That's a given.

[Leanne Morgan]

Thank you.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Just hitting on your husband, that's all. Okay.

[H. Foley]

Do you bring food on a plane?

[Leanne Morgan]

I have, my darling, but I like.

[H. Foley]

What.

[Leanne Morgan]

What are we talking?

[H. Foley]

Snack.

[Leanne Morgan]

A snack. I always go buy those little things and get a water and something chocolate.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

And then something like a pop. I like a popcorn.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Or a pretzel.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What kind of popcorn? Like a smart food?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, like a smart food. Like a cheddar or something like that. I do love that. And then I. Messy though it is. But I keep a wipe. I'm a grandmother. I keep a wipe.

[H. Foley]

Will you take your shoes off on a plane? No, never. Okay, fair enough.

[Kevin James Ryan]

But you sleep. Can you sleep on a plane?

[Leanne Morgan]

Not well, but I try.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah. Aisle or window?

[Leanne Morgan]

I like an aisle. I like to be free. If something goes down, I don't want to be up in the street.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Hear that? Uday Gooset. The boys are coming. It.

[Leanne Morgan]

I like to be able to go to the bathroom if I need to. I don't want to feel contained back up in there.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I'm an aisle man myself. I get it.

[H. Foley]

Shower at night, shower in the morning. Person.

[Leanne Morgan]

I like to shower in the morning.

[H. Foley]

In the morning. Brush your teeth in the shower.

[Leanne Morgan]

No, at the sink.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

But my dental hygienist said take a water pick and take it in the shower because it's messy. And get all that up and out of there.

[H. Foley]

And do you floss?

[Leanne Morgan]

But I haven't done it yet. No. And I know I need to. All right, I floss, but not as much as I should.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Do you have name brand luggage? What kind of luggage you carrying?

[Leanne Morgan]

I've been carrying bass. B E S. Sponsor the show.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Shout out to the good folks at base.

[H. Foley]

Very nice.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Roll my coat. Garbage.

[Leanne Morgan]

I think they roll good. And I try to now have a set because they roll better together. Cause it's just me and my baby. I don't have a tour manager.

[Kevin James Ryan]

It's just you two. It's just you two going out on the road.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. And I have an opener and they meet me there and then. Yeah, like Nate Bargadzy, who's my buddy And y' all know.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah, he has 20. He's got everybody.

[Leanne Morgan]

It's just me and my baby and then the guy that's with me, publicist. But he doesn't get to go on the road with me. I would love it. Cause he's sweet and I could be his mama. He's the age of my children. But we really, we're lean, Morgan. Very lean.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's overhead. You don't need. I don't need to be insuring other people. No, lean and mean. She's already on the policy, I'm sure.

[H. Foley]

Will Chuck come out and meet you for a show or something like that, though?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, he likes to go to the Wynn in Las Vegas.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Oh, he who don't like going there? He's not going to Tuscaloosa, though. He's not going to the Civic center and, you know, the armpit of Toledo.

[Leanne Morgan]

No, he's not.

[H. Foley]

How does it get. How does he get a stay cooked?

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, his stay cooked. Oh, is it rare, baby, or medium? Medium rare.

[H. Foley]

Medium rare.

[Kevin James Ryan]

[H. Foley]

He's six, five.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah. He's a house.

[H. Foley]

Well, you told him. He said, what's up?

[Kevin James Ryan]

Did he ask about me? Does he know who I am? Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

He needs that attention because I don't give it to him.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Okay. And so what's on the rider? You go to, you know, you're doing. Doing very well. What. What do you like to have in the green rider? Because, you know, you're not doing comedy clubs where you can order food or whatever. You're doing theaters and the listeners probably might not know, or they do know. There's nothing the theaters aren't stocked with. They don't have like a kitchen. You can't order food. So what do you like to have around? Pre show, post show? What do you like?

[Leanne Morgan]

We usually order food after the show.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

From somewhere nifty.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

In that town. But I always have, and this is. I'm a grandma. I like to have a caffeine free Coke Zero. You can't always find them.

[H. Foley]

No.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What's that even? Look. Caffeine free Coke Zero.

[H. Foley]

The Pepsi used to be gold. I remember caffeine free Pepsi.

[Kevin James Ryan]

So did the yeah. So did the Coke.

[Leanne Morgan]

Because if I drink caffeine after a certain time, then I'm up all night, and I can't be doing that because I gotta go to the next town the next day. So I try to have my baby child that's with me all the time. Tries to make sure she gets enough protein so she has a fair life. Milk in there so she can make a protein shake. I have a little bit of cheese, crackers, some crudite. Crudite with a dip? Yeah, I like a dip.

[H. Foley]

That's vegetables, right?

[Kevin James Ryan]

Crudette.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, vegetables. And it said.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You didn't know French. Get out of here.

[Leanne Morgan]

And then fruit, like a little fruit tray. And that's usually what we have. And just have something to nibble on.

[H. Foley]

Do you take any of that with you after the show?

[Leanne Morgan]

My first tour, the big panty tour, I took every piece of fruit. And then people would stare at me and look at me like I was crazy. And I still take some. She takes that meal. We put it in a refrigerator in a hotel room. But I. I do. I mean, I like. If the crackers hadn't been open, I take them home.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Sure. Yeah, get home.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know. I don't like waste.

[H. Foley]

That's all right.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I like it. You do a sound check.

[H. Foley]

How do you feel about singing Happy Birthday at a restaurant?

[Leanne Morgan]

It's okay. You know, it kind of makes. Gives me the willies, but I could do it. I mean, if I needed to. And I wanted my children to get sung to when they were little.

[H. Foley]

Will you take leftovers home from the restaurant?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yes.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Love a leftover.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Really, Chuck Morgan does not like, why are you taking this home? But I. Chuck Morgan.

[H. Foley]

Chuck Morgan doesn't like it.

[Leanne Morgan]

And he'll end up eating it. But he'll say, why are you growing, boy? But I'm from farming people. Farming people don't waste things.

[H. Foley]

Is there anything that normally would be eaten warm or hot, that you like Cold sometimes the next day I like.

[Leanne Morgan]

A spaghetti or a pizza. Cole.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yes, she does.

[H. Foley]

She's all right, man. She's all right. Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Okay. Y' all are so fun.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

I didn't know I was gonna come in here and follow in love with y'. All.

[Kevin James Ryan]

How old were you when you got your passport?

[Leanne Morgan]

40.

[Kevin James Ryan]

40.

[Leanne Morgan]

And I got it on my 40th birthday. And I was crying because I was turning 40. Because I thought that was bad. I was stupid. And then. And I'm so. I'm in that passport, speckledy face because Chuck Morgan called, said, meet Me at the post office. You're getting your passport? That's the first time I ever had one. I think Mexico or somewhere. On a company trip. Somewhere with him on a company. On a company trip.

[H. Foley]

Okay. Do you and Chuck travel around a little bit now?

[Leanne Morgan]

Not much, honey. Cause I'm working like a mule. But I want to. I told him. Cause I just finished this tour in Boston and Philadelphia, and I never spent any time in either one. And I love history and I like to see where people are buried. And I called him and said, I would like to come back here on a fall day weekend, Philadelphia. And then go to Boston. And he said, oh, we should.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Where. You can go see where Benjamin. You go see Benjamin Franklin's house. And we're from Philadelphia.

[H. Foley]

Yeah, that's where we started. Comedy.

[Leanne Morgan]

I saw where he was buried. I didn't get to go into the. I didn't have time to go in there. And I saw the post office and she saw the Liberty Bell. I didn't get to see the Liberty Bell.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I only saw it once. The first time. First time. My first time I saw it, I was 26 years old. I was walking by drunk and I went, oh, there it is. Swear to God, it was all lit up. That thing's not broken, huh?

[Leanne Morgan]

I love that town.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah, Beautiful town.

[H. Foley]

How do you feel about the rotisserie chicken?

[Leanne Morgan]

Love a rotisserie chicken.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

And I love to use it in a casserole or something to save time. But I could sit and eat a rotisserie chicken. Cold or warm?

[H. Foley]

Perfume? You like perfume? No, no perfume.

[Leanne Morgan]

I breastfed my children. And when you nurse, when you're a mom and you're nursing, they tell you not to wear it so that you don't.

[H. Foley]

I was wondering how you.

[Leanne Morgan]

Because they need your scent. And then after that, I was like, it gives me the sick headache. Like I can barely walk through a cosmetic thing. Cause I just don't like it. Okay.

[H. Foley]

Jewelry wise. Any turquoise jewelry?

[Leanne Morgan]

Love turquoise. We call it turquoise. Love it, love it. Just here and there, you know, on.

[H. Foley]

An occasion, will you dance it or whatever.

[Leanne Morgan]

Like a fool, Honey, really? That's my. I clubbed in the 80s.

[Kevin James Ryan]

So back when clubbing was clubbing.

[Leanne Morgan]

Clubbing was clubbing. I love to dance. And yes, I like to bust a move. Yes, I do.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Do you enjoy a cocktail at the wedding?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Kevin James Ryan]

What do you do?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, one glass of wine. Or, you know, if somebody's got a margarita or something. Like a margarita, but not much.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Boys.

[Leanne Morgan]

I don't do a lot because I'M in menopause and you don't sleep. You waller in the bed all night.

[H. Foley]

How do you feel about the double egg?

[Leanne Morgan]

Love a deviled egg.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Will you do karaoke? And if so, do you have a go to song?

[Leanne Morgan]

I'm not, you know, I don't think I've ever done karaoke and I don't know what song it would be. Maybe an Earth, Wind and Fire. Because I go and see them a lot.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You go. You still go and see them?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. Oh, darling. Yet they're still kicking.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Great.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. Some kind of RB or a Prince song.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Or Madonna or something like that. That was my jam.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I got a question. You're going to an Earth, Wind and Fire. Do you buy those tickets or do you like text your agents? Like, hey, can you get me.

[Leanne Morgan]

I've always bought them, but now I'm good friends with my agents will get me tickets. But I'm good friends with Philip Bailey's wife Valerie, who is an unbelievable singer. And she. I was at Thompson Boland in Knoxville going to see Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire and she saw me walking up the street and started yelling because I had a bit about Earth, Wind and Fire and they knew it. And so she became a fan. And so now I know all those. I know I've met those.

[Kevin James Ryan]

She just tells Wind and Wind will get her tickets. I mean, you know.

[H. Foley]

Do you read?

[Leanne Morgan]

A little.

[H. Foley]

You have a book. You have a book next to the bed.

[Leanne Morgan]

I do, but I don't read it. I set water on it.

[H. Foley]

Very nice. I respect it.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Huh?

[Leanne Morgan]

I buy books all the time thinking, oh, that'll be good. And then we're there.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Will you buy any as seen on TV products?

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, yeah, now it's on Instagram. I get. I get that. You know, this will help you sleep. This will de Ager puff your eyes. I fall into all that. I love a good vacuum cleaner. Don't lose it. Don't use it.

[H. Foley]

What do you guys have? You have a Dyson.

[Kevin James Ryan]

You gotta do Dyson.

[Leanne Morgan]

We have had a Dyson, but now I'm going to a shark.

[H. Foley]

Yeah, they're really taking over.

[Kevin James Ryan]

They're doing well.

[Leanne Morgan]

I think they do the same as a Dyson without the calls.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Let's not get crazy. Let's not that Dyson's cutting edge technology. Everybody knows can't have Chuck Morgan.

[H. Foley]

You can using a shark.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I do love a Dyson hair dryer and all that stuff.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That thing's crazy. I use it to dry clothes.

[H. Foley]

Do you collect anything?

[Leanne Morgan]

I like A good salt and pepper shaker.

[Kevin James Ryan]

But I'm not, man, if there's a Southern grandma right there.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I don't have them, like, sitting somewhere. I don't have that many. But, like, I was performing in Oklahoma and went to the cowboy museum, which was fascinating. And then I went in the gift shop and there were buffalo. I kind of like a buffalo. That's my animal.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

And I got two salt and pepper shaker. Buffalo that are heavy. And my grandbabies, my boys, fight each other with those buffalo. Fun.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Yeah, it's fun. It's a good time.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. So it's something that means something to me. I don't just go and get a bunch of salt and pepper shakers. But if it's something like that, if.

[H. Foley]

You'Re at a restaurant and you see the salt and pepper shakers and you like them. Have you ever.

[Leanne Morgan]

No. No. Because I'm a real follower.

[H. Foley]

Okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. And I'm scared. Okay. I'm scared of cat.

[H. Foley]

Never stole a steak knife from the steakhouse or anything like that.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Got magnets on that fridge. Collect magnets.

[Leanne Morgan]

Used to when these babies were little. But now, you know, nothing sticks like it used to.

[H. Foley]

The pets right now are just the one being.

[Leanne Morgan]

We usually have more than that one passed away last year and we have not. I know another. An old beagle. That was precious, but. But I'm looking for another dog because that little beagle needs somebody. And then Chuck Morgan loves a dog. Chuck Morgan loves a dog and a baby. So I think it'd be good for Chuck to have another dog, huh?

[Kevin James Ryan]

I mean, you know, is there any.

[H. Foley]

Cereal on top of the refrigerator?

[Leanne Morgan]

No. There has been when these children were growing up. Now, it's not built that way, but I have a lot of cereal. I like to have cereal on hand. Chuck Morgan likes cereal and my middle child. And every once in a while, I'm thinking, I gotta have some Raisin Bran Crunch, you know?

[H. Foley]

Gentlemen, what does Chuck like?

[Kevin James Ryan]

What's Chuck like?

[Leanne Morgan]

He likes Honey Nut Cheerios and he'll even mix some in with some honey. Bunch of oats or anything. He'll eat any kind of cereal.

[H. Foley]

Awesome. Chuck.

[Kevin James Ryan]

Chuck. Chuck rolls Honey Nut Cheerios.

[H. Foley]

Your dad's awesome, right?

[Leanne Morgan]

He's really intense. He's a very driven, anal retentive, overachiever kind of boy.

[Kevin James Ryan]

My kind of guy. My kind of guy.

[H. Foley]

He would hate my gun.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I got one last question. I assume that is not I walk into your kitchen. I can't see the trash can, right? No, no. Okay. Just checking. Just Checking for research.

[Leanne Morgan]

And even in the old house, I had a little thing that came out and I was tickled about that. I'm not built any of these houses. Somebody else thought of that.

[Kevin James Ryan]

I got one more. I can't slam. I open. You know, I need. I go over your ply. I need a spoon. I open it up. I can't slam that drawer. Right, Right. Yeah. Catch slow. Slow, catch, slow.

[H. Foley]

That's what you call a little bit of cash.

[Kevin James Ryan]

That's investing in good stuff. Shout out to Chuck Morgan. He knows what he's doing. Buy it once, right? Buy it once. The first time, not again and again. I love it.

[H. Foley]

I mean, man. What do you think? What's the verdict?

[Kevin James Ryan]

I mean, 100% trash. It's not even close. You are 100% Southern trash. And I love it.

[H. Foley]

It's the best, but the absolute sweetest.

[Kevin James Ryan]
