[Abby Lee Anderson]

I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast betrayal police lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all his wife, Caroline.

[Morgan]

He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

How far would he go to cover up what he'd done?

[Eddie]

The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific. And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

[Eddie]

[Riley Green]

[Eddie]

Grotesque.

[Morgan]

Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

Horrific stories on what scares them the most. You feeling this, too? Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The best bits of the week with Morgan, Part one. Behind the scenes with a.

[Morgan]

Happy weekend, everybody. Abby is joining me this weekend. Abby, how are you?

[Riley Green]

Good. How are you?

[Morgan]

Yeah, you feeling good? You ready to chat? You dropped some big news since the last time you've been on here.

[Riley Green]

I did. I really did.

[Morgan]

Or as we put on the social post, bombshell news.

[Riley Green]

I know. Yeah. That was a dramatic headline.

[Morgan]

I'm like, whoa, we're adding some drama lately. You know, just spicing it up these days. Yeah, that's what we're doing on social media.

[Riley Green]

I'm fixing my mic. Don't worry.

[Morgan]

Oh. Cause we're in a different studio than we normally are to do best bits. Cause all of our studios are all taken up, so Abby and I are sitting in the big studio. It's unusual, weird.

[Riley Green]

It does feel weird.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, you dropped huge news. How are you feeling about dropping the big news?

[Riley Green]

Very like a vulnerable. Like, I feel like people know a lot because I did so well at keeping it private, and I'm like, oh, I said a lot.

[Morgan]

It's now all out there. And so you share that you're now living with your boyfriend, and he has two kids.

[Riley Green]

Yes.

[Morgan]

That was the big bombshell news, in case you missed it, which you can check, you know, go catch up on best bits. But vulnerability is hard. And sharing something that you kept for a secret for at least six months. The kids thing, you've kept secret for you how long you guys have been dating, which is a year and a half.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, but, I mean, I plan. I think I'm still gonna keep it, you know, not give too many details, just, like, privacy of everybody involved, so it makes sense.

[Morgan]

Having kids involved is a different role than just you and a boyfriend.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, it is.

[Morgan]

It's a whole different lifestyle.

[Riley Green]

It is, but it's going really well.

[Morgan]

And how is living together going?

[Riley Green]

Good. Like I thought it would be. I've never lived with someone, you know, and so I thought it'd be, I don't know, more difficult, but it's actually fun. It's like fun. We don't do anything really to annoy each other. Like, he's really clean. He's like more clean than me.

[Morgan]

Okay. I was gonna say, have you figured out your differences yet? Cause I feel like living together is when you start to see, oh, well, we have this a little bit different or we may operate a little bit differently here or there.

[Riley Green]

So, like, I get coffee every day and I leave it on the counter and I don't throw it away. He's like, are you done with this? It's like 4pm And I'm like, yes, I am.

[Morgan]

Is it a half drinking coffee?

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Oh, you don't even finish them.

[Riley Green]

No.

[Morgan]

And you're buying coffee?

[Riley Green]

Yep.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Riley Green]

Yep. Just latte every day. It's really bad. It's a bad thing. But I leave it out all the time and he just gets annoyed at that kind of stuff.

[Morgan]

Okay, so you are learning to pick up a little bit more.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. It's also weird because just not being at my house, you know, like feeling more in control. I'm at someone else's house and I still kind of feel like I'm, oh, can I get in your pantry? He's like, abby, you don't. What are you doing? You don't have to ask. Yeah, like, what are.

[Morgan]

What. You're getting comfortable with being in his.

[Riley Green]

Space when I have always been in my space, so I've never had to feel uncomfortable or like, ask if I can do something. So it's. Yeah, I'm getting used to that.

[Morgan]

And you're learning to different, like, finances. Like, who pays for what that side of things.

[Riley Green]

Yes.

[Morgan]

It's always an interesting and uncomfortable start and then you start to figure it out. But the beginning's always a little awky and quirky.

[Riley Green]

It really is awkward. Wait, what do you do? I'm curious how finances paying things. Yeah.

[Morgan]

In the beginning, he wanted to pay for everything.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And it got to a point where I was like, okay, we're splitting. I don't like this. And so I would start paying for some things and he'll still insist in different areas. So we just kind of make sure both of us feel like we're contributing is really where it matters for me. I don't ever want to feel like a relationship is one sided. So that's kind of where it lies right now.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. Like. Like for us, he would just eat in every day. Like, he loves to just like cook at home and he has like a sandwich every day for lunch. I'm like, I want to go out all the time. I love eating out. And so I feel about making him pay for it. So sometimes I'm just like, can we go out? I'll pay for it.

[Morgan]

Got it.

[Riley Green]

Cause he would just save so much money. And he's a financial planner, like I said, so he's very good with money.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Riley Green]

And budgeting.

[Morgan]

Are you good with money?

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. No, no. Like, he did like a budget thing for me or whatever, and I was like, oh, my gosh. Oh, wow.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Riley Green]

Yeah, just. Cause I'm. He is so organized in everything. He spins and did like this whole sheet and how he, like, nets this much. He, you know, puts everything out itemized, like.

[Morgan]

Sorry, Eddie's sitting in the room with us editing videos, and he's given eyes. Okay, well, if you're gonna at least ask, you might as well turn on your mic.

[Dan Flores]

How much does he net?

[Morgan]

What?

[Riley Green]

No, it's just like a monthly thing.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Dan Flores]

Yeah.

[Riley Green]

Not as much as he should because of me.

[Morgan]

Having a girlfriend really changed his financial planning, didn't it?

[Riley Green]

Yeah, it did. It did. Sorry. But yeah, so I'm figuring that out too.

[Morgan]

So you are learning your differences. How are you guys navigating the differences? Does it feel good? It feels like communicative. Or is.

[Riley Green]

Does. Yeah, because he's very patient with me.

[Morgan]

Okay. Has he understood your shopping habit yet?

[Riley Green]

Oh, gosh, we don't need to talk about that.

[Morgan]

You have mentioned on the best bits, and I'm not blasting you in any way because we have talked about all the best bits.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, we have.

[Morgan]

Abby loves to go shopping and will just buy stuff. Heck, there was one time when Abby was staying at my house and it was so sweet of her, but I showed back up after she was washing my animals and she had got me a Marvel sweatshirt. She's like, I was just walking the mall and I found it and I think, Abby, that's so sweet. But also. What are you doing?

[Riley Green]

I don't know. That's what I do. It's really bad. And I have, like, the three closets in my house are, like, full of clothes. And so I've had to try to consolidate all into his closet. And he moved everything, like, to the left. And I have, like, his whole closet. It's. Yeah.

[Morgan]

In all Fairness, boys have 10 outfit fits. They don't really have the same. Women's fashion is a little bit different. Guys can wear the same outfit for 10 plus years and never goes out of style. Women, everything we do goes out of style once a year. So it Is a different in sharing. And I do feel like women tend to take over more. Men tend to take over more in the shoe department. So does he have more shoes than you? No.

[Riley Green]

Still, he has more, I guess. Hats. He loves wearing hats. So he has like a thousand hats.

[Morgan]

They always have one. Like it's an accessory. There's something that they, like, have a lot of.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But then every else is like a sliver of a closet.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

At least in most of the homes that I've seen of all of my friends.

[Riley Green]

Yep. No, mine, shoes, clothes, everything. So I gotta work on that. That is something that he's like, abby, you really need to work on this. This could be a serious problem in the future.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, it could be. But you're working on it and you're. It's okay. It's okay to have flaws and to work through them. It's also part of what living together is about, is understanding each other and learning each other more. Because when you're not living together, I feel like you kind of have this side of you that they don't know about. And then you live together. It's like, here's all of me. This is who I go.

[Riley Green]

Hope you like it. Yeah, but it's good.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And living with kids around, is that an adjustment too?

[Riley Green]

Yes, it is. Especially like with our jobs, because we have to work at night too, like to prep for the next day. And they just want to play and I just feel so bad. So I'm like, I have to go work. They're like, why are you working? You already worked earlier. I'm like, I know, I know. You don't get it.

[Morgan]

Yeah, so. So when they go to bed, is that when you start working again?

[Riley Green]

Yeah, basically.

[Morgan]

And how are you guys navigating alone time together too?

[Riley Green]

Well, he has them half the time, so I get to see him.

[Morgan]

So your moments happen on the off weeks when you guys kind of have some time together and go do stuff you want to do.

[Riley Green]

Like, he has them every other weekend. So, you know, it's like they're like completely opposite weekends we have the kids. It's just like all kids centered stuff, which is really fun. And then the next weekend it's like, let's go to Broadway or something. I don't know. Like, let's go.

[Morgan]

And it sounds like that's you sided, where you're like, I want to go do things.

[Riley Green]

Yes. But he also does too. Like he wants to get out. He's like, we should do something, but.

[Morgan]

Just better about it financially. Thinking, what's the best scenario?

[Riley Green]

I know, Yeah. I mean, those white claws downtown are expensive.

[Morgan]

You know, a six bag of white claws back home costs about half the price of one down.

[Riley Green]

No, I thought about that. I was like, we should add up how much you spend in like three months and just drinks that are overpriced.

[Morgan]

We had went. So I took my boyfriend for the first time for his first concert at the Ryman. We went and saw Tucker Wetmore's sold out show there, which was awesome. Tucker was so great. He plays insane piano, has really good piano skills. Would never have known. It was really cool. It was cool. He had standing ovations multiple times. He was just, like, super emotional, too, because it was at the Ryman. It was a really cool show to see, but that was his first one. And we walked up, he goes, dang, $28 for a double. And I was like, yeah, we're getting into pricey stuff down here downtown. He's like, you know, I should have assumed that.

[Riley Green]

But, yeah, no, it is crazy. Is that really what it is for a.

[Morgan]

It's like for a double vodka?

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

$28. Which to me at this point was so crazy about it. I'm like, oh, that's not that bad. But that's because I've been conditioned to.

[Riley Green]

Think from going downtown.

[Morgan]

But then I go to like a hole in the wall. It's like five bucks. And then I. That's when I realized, okay, I need to stay away from downtown.

[Riley Green]

No, a date night is expensive. Or if you want to take your family to a concert, like, expect to spend a lot with tickets and everything.

[Morgan]

I don't know how everything adding up.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Morgan]

So, okay, how do you. How do you feel? We feel good about the convo.

[Riley Green]

I feel good.

[Morgan]

Do you feel super vulnerable or. We feel, feel, feel. Okay.

[Riley Green]

No. Good.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Riley Green]

Let's just not go any. I'm just kidding.

[Morgan]

Hey, I. I found your threshold.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

That's what I was finding. You can also ask me any questions you want to ask.

[Riley Green]

Are you guys living together?

[Morgan]

No.

[Riley Green]

Has he moved in yet?

[Morgan]

No, but we do spend a lot of time together.

[Riley Green]

Really?

[Morgan]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Riley Green]

What do you guys do, like, for fun? I was like, life or like, you go dancing?

[Morgan]

We did go do a bar crawl. We've had game nights. We do have a good routine together. We love to go to the gym and work out together, which has really helped me get into, like, a consistent routine and like, to cook together. He loves that I collect vinyls, so every time I bring A new one home. He's like, let's play it and we'll cook a dinner and hang out. We've taken the dogs on hikes.

[Riley Green]

Does he have a dog?

[Morgan]

No. Roscoe, though, is kind of his little dog. That's my foster that I've had, which at this point in moment in time that this will air, Roscoe will be starting his adoption trial, which is super exciting.

[Riley Green]

Really?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Riley Green]

Oh, he got adopted?

[Morgan]

Well, it's an adoption trial because Roscoe is very special. So we got to see how it goes for him, how he gets acclimated, what that looks like. But it's. It feels like it'll be really successful for him. So he's kind of taken on the ownership of Roscoe a little bit because Remy has her own personality and she's. She demands attention. So he's kind of taken over the role of Roscoe's owner a little bit, in a way. And then we'll take a little break after we have Roscoe and he's in his home, and then I'll foster another one at some point.

[Riley Green]

But have you met your boyfriend's parents?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Riley Green]

Or family. Really?

[Morgan]

I've met his mom and all of his siblings.

[Riley Green]

Oh, wow.

[Morgan]

His dad yet. No one sibling does. Another one is about to be here, and then another one lives in another state, and then his mom and dad don't live here. That's so.

[Riley Green]

Oh, how was that?

[Morgan]

It was good. I met him off for a brunch and then a few weekends later they were in town again for Mother's Day and they had a bit of week. He's very, very close with his family, so that's when we did game night and they had a whole barbecue and hung out with him. One of his brother came and joined us for our bar crawl that we did, and it's been going really well, I think. I have made good impressions, I believe. Plus.

[Riley Green]

Plus, that's good.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it feels good. And he'll meet my family over CMA fest.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. All of them are coming in town.

[Morgan]

My parents and my sister and brother in law. So he'll meet some of them.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my God. Are you nervous?

[Morgan]

No, but it's so funny. He has like my parents, they just mispronounce names all the time. Heck, they call me the dog name all the time.

[Riley Green]

Really?

[Morgan]

I don't know why. It's just like a parent thing, I think. And it's. It started happening like 10 years ago. But they'll call me. They'll be like, lola, I'm Like, I am Morgan. And so when I tell, like, they know his name, and they're like, well, it's kind of common with another name. So just, you know, give him a heads up that, like, that's not on purpose. And I'm like, can you guys just get his name right? Can we just not mess up his name? Because it makes me feel a little weird.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. Wait, do you have a nickname for him?

[Morgan]

I do have a nickname.

[Riley Green]

You do have. He said it.

[Morgan]

No, but. Well, the nickname that the show members, not show members, show listeners have come up with is IRL Guy. Because I met him in real life.

[Riley Green]

Okay. Yeah.

[Morgan]

And we posted, like, the thing was, like, met Guy in irl, which is in real life. So he's become IRL Guy.

[Riley Green]

But you did, like, a hard launch a little bit. I mean, it was pretty. I feel.

[Morgan]

Medium launch.

[Riley Green]

Medium. Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Because I didn't tag him and I didn't show his. Quite his face yet.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. So the dancing one.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but you'd have to, like, stop. You'd have to screenshot, zoom in, and. Hey, it's kind of blurry.

[Riley Green]

It can be done.

[Morgan]

It can.

[Riley Green]

It will be done.

[Morgan]

Well, I also think Instagram's done me dirty because he has his profile and stuff's out there, so I think some people have already discovered him.

[Riley Green]

Did they message him?

[Morgan]

No, but he started having enough people follow him. I was like, yeah, people found you.

[Riley Green]

Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

So I was like, I should just. I mean, whatever, because he's posted, so I don't care what he does. He can do whatever you want. It's different. And he. He never cared if I did. I just. I'm so. I'm so protective. I'm protective in general of everybody on this show and just how we do things with personal lives. Because I just. I feel very mama bear in a way of just making sure everybody feels okay and comfortable. And so with other people in my life, I feel very mama bear. Protective of, like.

[Riley Green]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Are you ready for this?

[Riley Green]

I know, because they're not in. They're not in this.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Riley Green]

They're trying to live their life over here. And then.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And then you're like. And then they get a, like, little whiff of it and you feel.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

That's a lot. I wasn't prepared, so I'm like, genuinely, are you ready for this kind of thing? And that seems so dramatic, and it really isn't that dramatic, but I just am protective. People have a lot of opinions and they just say a lot of things. So I don't. I signed up for that. They didn't.

[Riley Green]

Well, that's why I waited so long to, like, say about the kids. But I just. I don't know. I mean, I was gonna just say, like, I moved in with him, but then I didn't want to leave that part out. It's kind of a big deal.

[Morgan]

It is, because. And it's also really hard when what you do every day is part of this show is talking about our personal lives to leave out a very significant portion. It's like any. Any, like, lunchbox saying, hey, I. I didn't have a kid, and he doesn't talk about it for a year.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Or Eddie not being able to talk about adopting his kids for a year. That would be really hard because it's a significant part of your life, and we have to send in personal stories all the time. So how are you all of a sudden just going to omit this big portion of. It's hard. And you try and hold onto it to protect it, but at the same time, like, it is part of your life now, and that's hopefully a part of your life for the foreseeable future.

[Riley Green]

I know. It's crazy. It's still crazy, Danielle, because I was just like, the one always, you know, I don't know. Even Bobby said it. Like, he's like, you're like the last one I thought on the show that would ever. I don't know, was it living with.

[Morgan]

Someone or having dating someone?

[Riley Green]

With a guy.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Riley Green]

You know, just being with a guy.

[Morgan]

Just in general. Well, you know, listen, they're also waiting for my downfall, so it's fine, you know, that's. We're waiting for both of them, so it could still happen. There's plenty of time left in my life.

[Riley Green]

Hopefully it's true. Just don't rush anything.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we're living it up. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. I'll be right back. We can talk about it some more. We can get into some other fun stuff.

[Morgan]

Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.

[Eddie]

She said you left bruises, pulled her.

[Morgan]

Hair, that type of thing. No?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

[Eddie]

You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.

Devi has touched the lives of countless students, including renowned artists, athletes and executives of global corporations.

[Andrea Gunning]

But anything can be used as a tool of avoidance with women, any kind of thing where there might be this underlying edge of self sacrifice as martyrdom. If you're never filling, you're telling yourself a story and you're actually avoiding what you should be doing, your life at the end of it is still going to be a Sum of your experience. Experiences. And so you got to get in, you got to get your hands dirty.

[Radhi Devlukia]

Listen to a really good cry on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Unknown]

I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

[Eddie]

Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.

[Unknown]

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

[Dan Flores]

Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

[Unknown]

From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolut Season 1, Taser Incorporated.

[Morgan]

I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

[Unknown]

[Morgan]

All right. But overall, you feel really good emotions. Good. You feel happy.

[Riley Green]

I do, yeah.

[Morgan]

All the things. And I meant to ask you, are you getting rid of your place? You keeping it? Have you decided?

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. Okay. So, yeah, that's where I'm still at. I still have it. And sometimes we stay there, like on weekends and so we can be closer together.

[Morgan]

Kind of like a little staycation.

[Riley Green]

Staycation.

[Morgan]

That's fun.

[Riley Green]

It is kind of what it is. And then my mom is going to be here for CMA Fest, actually, and going to stay there. So right now, because all my stuff's there. Like, I. I mean, I move my clothes and everything I use every day, but like I have a guest room with a bed and then my bed that's there and basically everything. A couch, tv. So I'm like, what all do I do with that?

[Morgan]

But that is the interesting thing about moving in with someone who has an established place, which is really awesome because you're set up and you don't have to go out and buy a house. It's awesome. But is it. It is an interesting dynamic because in that place is one person's stuff. But how do you make sure the other person coming in feels like it's also their space if you're not utilizing some of their stuff?

[Riley Green]

I know, I see that too. Like, I'm like, everything in mind. It's my couch. It's my this. And, like, the other day, I spilled something on his couch, and I felt really bad. I mean, it was clear it was a white claw. All I talk about is white claws.

[Morgan]

You love a white claw. Sponsor this girl already.

[Riley Green]

Seriously. I drink two water and white claw. Anyway, so I spilled it on there. But I felt really bad because it was just like, everywhere. And I was like, oh, my gosh, this is his couch. But he's always so, like, it's not a big deal. And he's like, you can decorate, like, put up decor that you want, you know, or, like, to make it feel like it's yours, too. And I'm like, that's really nice.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Riley Green]

I still in the back of my mind, though, you know, it is because.

[Morgan]

You feel like you're coming into someone's face and it was theirs forever. And now you're like, okay, well, it's not exactly mine. I wasn't here first.

[Riley Green]

I know. Yeah. Like, if I was in an apartment, you know, it'd be way different because it's just a lot easier to take on. I could, I don't know, get a storage unit or something. But with this, I'm like, oh, I mean, eventually I'll probably rent it out and I could do, like, I could do where it's furnished to something like that.

[Morgan]

And you can either confirm, deny, or not talk about this. But you and I have also talked about it was really hard for you to make this transition. Are you feeling better about things now and you don't have to talk about if you don't want to?

[Riley Green]

No, I actually. I really am. I thought it was going to be a lot harder. Like, I'd be like, oh, I'm missing it. And like I said, the drive is twice as long, at least. Like, it's a lot more like, in the morning and stuff. But it's not bad. It's really not. I like it. I kind of like being there and just, like, feeling part of a house and, like, a backyard and because mine's a townhome.

[Morgan]

I mean, you went straight from city girl life to suburban mom.

[Riley Green]

I know. I know. It's so weird.

[Morgan]

I know.

[Riley Green]

I saw somebody comment. He's like, man, Abby jumped in the deep end. I'm like, yeah, kind of. I didn't just, like, dip my toes in.

[Morgan]

You find the right person and it's worth jumping in the deep end for. And I feel like that's what's happening. But internal battle. You were having a very. Just nervous of you. And I have talked about the other shoe dropping. You and I both had that feeling.

[Eddie]

Just.

[Morgan]

We're just waiting for it.

[Riley Green]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Because of things we've been through. Do you feel like the feet are both firmly planted on the ground?

[Riley Green]

Yeah, I do. Okay. Because, like, at the end of the day, you're like this. It's just like, a house. It's just wood, you know, and nails.

[Morgan]

You had to break it down to the wood and the nails.

[Riley Green]

It's a box with walls. I don't know. And, like, does that really matter at the end of the day? It's like. It's who you're with inside those walls.

[Morgan]

That was so cheesy.

[Riley Green]

That was so freaking cheesy. But it's cute.

[Morgan]

But it was very cheesy.

[Riley Green]

So I'm like, why am I so holding on to this house? I know it's, like, my first house that I bought, but why am I holding on so much to it when I knew eventually I was gonna move out? It's a townhome. It's pretty small, so I knew eventually, like, when I met somebody, I would move out into a different home. So now's the time.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but it's just. It was. I feel like, in a lot of ways, a transition you probably weren't expecting.

[Riley Green]

Mm.

[Morgan]

It was just a lot of different things. But you just. I mean, you took the bull by the horns. You said, let's go.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. Seriously. Well, let's go.

[Morgan]

And you were. I always knew that you were capable of that. I think you were just a little afraid. I think both of us are afraid of getting hurt, and especially when you're this far in for you, for your sake. So I get it.

[Riley Green]

Oh, for sure. Yeah. How do you feel like it's different with your current boyfriend than, like, others in the past? Like, why does this one feel so much more, like, secure?

[Morgan]

I think I feel different. I think that's a big part of it.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And I think I finally attracted the right person that I was looking for. I think it has a lot to do with it. I don't think I could. I think I talked about this with Eddie a little bit, but I don't think I could be where I am now had that last relationship not happened.

[Riley Green]

Oh, wow. Really? Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think he gave me a lot of security and understanding, and I don't think it was meant to last, but it taught me a lot of things that I just wasn't prepared for in a healthy relationship because I'd just been through so many bad ones. So it gave me a Lot of tools I needed to even make the right one successful. And he, in general, feels different. He's an empath, which I've never dated before, which I always needed. And consistency is there. He's just very sure of himself. There isn't a lot of doubt. I'm not questioning ever. The support is insane. So there's just a lot of things that we're missing before. And each. If I, like, really look back, because hindsight's always 20 20, always when you're in those, it feels like this is it. This feels good, you know, whatever. And, you know, I could be putting my foot in my mouth and it happens again, whatever, but it doesn't feel that way. This feels safe. That's why I felt also safe to post. I felt, like, secure. I felt supported. And I just don't know that I ever truly had that before. But I couldn't tell you that when I was in it.

[Riley Green]

Isn't that crazy? That's so wild. Yeah, but I. I get it. It's like hindsight is 20 20.

[Morgan]

It really is.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You learn so much. You look back on your. I think that's more the craziest thing. I really look back on just my 20s in general now, and it was just wild. My 20s were wild. I went through so many different things. And even just thinking of, you know, the listeners give me such a hard time for my dating life. And I shouldn't say all listeners, but some of them where it's just like, we've heard about this. Here we go again. I started this show at 23 years old. I mean, I was genuinely, like, in my metamorphosis of my twenties when I was on this show.

[Riley Green]

When you are dating, that's what you.

[Morgan]

Do is date in your 20s. What you're doing is dating. Especially at this point, most people aren't getting married till after they're 30. So really the 20s are about dating and understanding and learning relationships and what you want, what you don't want. And I was just full force going through that the entire time I was on the show.

[Riley Green]

That's wild.

[Morgan]

And that feels crazy.

[Riley Green]

It does.

[Morgan]

I know. So it's just weird in general to look back and just see the growth. And people always say that. You always hear from people. The wisdom is everything, and the knowledge that you gain is so powerful. But, yeah, you're 21 year old. Whatever.

[Riley Green]

I know.

[Morgan]

You can't tell me anything.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. You really have to see it for yourself because no one's gonna make you. Like, they can tell you Everything. But, like, if you don't look for it and see it yourself, you're just gonna be like, mm, okay, thanks. Thanks for the advice.

[Morgan]

Oh, and things that used to be ick would be now. Like, oh, I love that.

[Riley Green]

Like, we were.

[Morgan]

Yeah. We would talk about just so many different things on the show. When you hear these stories come in, like, dang old me would be like, that was an ick. New me's. Like, I love that. Which also feels weird.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I don't know if you ever feel that way, and you're just like. You have this moment where you're like, I feel like I am a changed woman.

[Riley Green]

I mean, sometimes I, like, look back, I'm like, what was I thinking? Why was I. Ugh. Mm. I have those moments where I'm just like, oh, my gosh. And then my phone, for some reason, brings up old pictures.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Riley Green]

Like, the display one. And I'm like, I know.

[Morgan]

And I have this about deleting pictures. I don't know why. Yeah, I can't delete pictures.

[Riley Green]

Really.

[Morgan]

I don't know if it's because I like the memory around somebody versus the memory, like, necessarily of them, but I like, Like a moment. If we traveled or we went somewhere. I'm like, I want those pictures. I was there. I went to a new state there.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. My memory is bad. I can't delete anything. I'm like, I won't even remember that happened in my life in, like, two years.

[Morgan]

You and I both have memory problems. This is not good for us.

[Riley Green]

No, it's not. It really is. And people don't understand when I'm like, I can't think. I don't know. I don't know what I did yesterday.

[Morgan]

Is this also because you had met. I always ask everybody if they. If there's anything they want to talk about. On part one, you had said your allergies. Are you having bad allergies related to also your brain?

[Riley Green]

Maybe that's it. Yeah. They've taken my brain power. No, they've been terrible. Have yours? I've been blowing my nose for two months. Like, my eyes are itchy. It's just rough.

[Morgan]

Well, and also, in all fairness, I can't tell between mine what is allergy, illness, or long Covid. So I'm just. I'm just permanently ill. But I did find bee pollen the other day.

[Riley Green]

Really?

[Morgan]

Have you ever had bee pollen?

[Riley Green]

No.

[Morgan]

It's really good. I put it on acai, and it's just like, these little balls of bee pollen, and they're supposed to be really helpful. One, for your immune system and two, especially. So the bee pollen I got from was from here, specifically in middle Tennessee, so it can help me with allergens. In middle Tennessee. It's helping, like, you develop an immune system, and there's smarter people who have better understanding and scientific knowledge behind it. But all that to say I did find bee pollen that I'm adding into my diet to try and help me out a little bit with my immune system with potential allergens, all of that stuff.

[Riley Green]

Oh, I need to do that.

[Morgan]

So it's expensive. I mean, I think like it was 18 bucks for a jar. Like a honey jar. If you think of like a honey jar, it's that same size.

[Riley Green]

If it helps, I'll do it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Turnip truck here in Nashville.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

They had some bee pollen, but I. And I don't know, again, don't. Much smarter people than me. But I. I'm willing to try everything at this point.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, I've done Zyrtec, Claritin. Nothing's working.

[Morgan]

It's the same concept. If you take a spoonful of honey that is from. Again, has to be from here, like where your allergens are and have a spoonful of honey every day. It's supposed to also help with allergens because it has to do with bees and their pollen and they're in the area.

[Riley Green]

The immunity.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Again, my brain's not functioning 100 anymore.

[Riley Green]

So I'll look it up.

[Morgan]

Something like that. But try it.

[Riley Green]

Try it. Yeah.

[Morgan]

It helps with your allergies. It could not, but it could also, at the very least, it's helping you with some vitamins and minerals that you need. So that's the worst case that happens. And it tastes yummy.

[Riley Green]

Good. Oh, it does. Yeah. I can't believe I haven't even had it.

[Morgan]

They're a little crunchy. Just like. Kind of like honey, but crunchy.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So not a bad taste.

[Riley Green]

I will try it.

[Morgan]

All right, we're going to take one more quick break. We have some more things to chat about going on in our lives. We'll be back.

[Morgan]

I'm actually shocked right now, Abby.

[Riley Green]

Why?

[Morgan]

Cuz you sent to me that you're. You watched Final Destination marathon? You watched a movie marathon? No.

[Riley Green]

All five of them?

[Morgan]

Who are you? You don't even watch one movie half the time.

[Riley Green]

I love movies now do you?

[Morgan]

Is this part of your newfound identity with a boyfriend?

[Riley Green]

Actually, we do watch a lot of movies and I love it because his TV is huge. It's like an 85 inch.

[Morgan]

Listen, a TV does make all the difference. Do you have a sound thing too?

[Riley Green]

I got him a sound thing.

[Morgan]

Sound Bard.

[Riley Green]

Bard. Sorry.

[Morgan]

We both called it a thing, so.

[Riley Green]

We didn't do very good there it goes, like on the mantel. And it is awesome.

[Morgan]

Does it come with a speaker that you also sit somewhere else?

[Riley Green]

No, that's. That was a little above my understanding budget or whatever, you know? So I'm like, you want to get those speakers that go along with it? That'd be awesome.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Did he end up buying them?

[Riley Green]

No.

[Morgan]

I was gonna say you could get it for a Christmas gift. They always have good deals on those on Amazon or Best Buy around different holidays.

[Riley Green]

Do they? But he has Sonos. Have you heard of that? Like with the app. Okay, those are. Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Yeah, those are pricey.

[Riley Green]

The one I wanted to get, the sound bar, it was like 900, so I got like, the mini one.

[Morgan]

Okay. I'm talking, like, you know, just, like, the basics.

[Riley Green]

No, like, it's crazy. There are a lot. And so it's like an app. You control everything. So he has, like, three to watch, to listen to music on. You put them in different rooms.

[Morgan]

Abby, you're living in a smart house. This was my dream when I watched that movie on Disney Channel. Smart House. Do you remember Smart House?

[Riley Green]

I do. Yeah. That was awesome. Me too.

[Morgan]

Are you living in a smart house?

[Riley Green]

I mean, not really. I have three speakers.

[Morgan]

You don't have an AI robot?

[Riley Green]

I wish.

[Morgan]

That talks to you and tries to take over the house.

[Riley Green]

Did she vacuum or what did she do?

[Morgan]

She clean, turn it on and off.

[Riley Green]

The lights, make food until she malfunctioned.

[Morgan]

And then she, like, became obsessed with them. It's like, you're never leaving.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. I want to watch that.

[Morgan]

Wait, have you not seen that?

[Riley Green]

No, I just mean I want to watch it again. It's been a long time.

[Morgan]

I panicked for a second. I was like, you act like you know what I'm referencing, but I promise I've seen it.

[Riley Green]

It's so funny.

[Morgan]

It is, like.

[Riley Green]

It's good.

[Morgan]

I do wonder if it holds up now. Princess Diaries holds up. That and Lizzie McGuire movie. Because I've definitely watched both of those multiple times in the last few years.

[Riley Green]

You have?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. I need to, like, do a hold.

[Morgan]

I. Sometimes I need just comfort, and I'll throw on one of my movies from the back. And as I'm, like, doing other stuff, I just need a little nostalgia or comfort in my life.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And that's where I go to Disney Channel original movies.

[Riley Green]

I go to Halloween. Michael Myers.

[Morgan]

This is also what you. Why you watch freaking Final Destination as a movie. Do you both like horror movies?

[Riley Green]

Yeah. Huh. He doesn't like watching him, like, alone. Me either.

[Morgan]

I like watching him, let alone alone.

[Riley Green]

I love it. Oh, my gosh. Halloween.

[Morgan]

You crazy.

[Riley Green]

Like, during Halloween time. Just give me all the scary movies by myself. Like, let's go. But anyway.

[Morgan]

Wild.

[Riley Green]

Have you seen Final Destination?

[Morgan]

I think I saw the first few because they came out in high school and you went to the theaters with everybody. But they. They actually ruined my brain.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Tanning beds.

[Riley Green]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Truck beds that have log the tree lodges on them. Ruined my brain. I still see those roller coasters. I already hated roller coasters. Made me hate them more. And that's. That's three that come to mind.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I do. That does Happen to me, though. Now when I'm driving, I see, like, a truck with all these logs. I'm like, oh, my gosh. Final Destination.

[Morgan]

See?

[Riley Green]

Well, I only did it because the new one is in theaters, so.

[Morgan]

Are you going to see the new one?

[Riley Green]

I do want to see it. Yeah. I haven't yet, but I had to get all caught up on those. Now I'm ready to go.

[Morgan]

I'm so proud of you.

[Riley Green]

Thanks.

[Morgan]

Even though I don't understand why those. But I am so proud of you. One, that you had a movie marathon, and two, that you're watching movies.

[Riley Green]

I knew you'd be shocked. I know.

[Morgan]

I am shocked.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Did you ever watch any of the other ones that I told you? Did you ever. I don't remember. That was. That was an assignment from, like, a year ago, I think, when we were in the old studio.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's been a minute.

[Riley Green]

They were shows or movies?

[Morgan]

They were movies. They were classic.

[Riley Green]

Well, I. Ready, player one.

[Morgan]

You did for a minute. Yeah.

[Riley Green]

I loved it. Are they coming out with another one?

[Morgan]

They're supposed to be, but that was, like, five years ago.

[Riley Green]

Oh. Because I see it on Netflix. It's, like, one of the top 10 movies. I was like, it always is. Oh, okay.

[Morgan]

It's so good.

[Riley Green]

I thought they were doing it to, like, you know, get you ready for the next one coming out, but no, I hope so.

[Morgan]

Trust me that the day that comes, you will see me post about it. I will be so excited.

[Riley Green]

Okay. Let me know when you hear. I will.

[Morgan]

I think that was one. It was one. And you have your. You're getting your real ID as we are about to record this.

[Riley Green]

Huh? Like, after this.

[Morgan]

Wait, so you're not actually going to physically get it? Because it takes a few days to get to you. So I'm just, like, a few weeks.

[Riley Green]

But I'm going to do the process. That's what it is. I got to go, like, do my hair. I want to look good.

[Morgan]

Wait, but you got an appointment? I couldn't get an appointment when I did this way back in February until July.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. No. I don't know how I got lucky. I think somebody had a cancellation because, yeah, they were not until, like, July 15th. And then I just looked one day, and I was like, oh, my gosh, there's an opening in Nashville. Well, it's actually Franklin, so. But it's outside. But still, the other ones, I was looking in, like, two hours away. I was like, chattanooga? You got any appointments?

[Morgan]

But it really was. And I mean, Because I. When I went and did it, it was one day when Bobby was traveling. And I went as soon as they opened, literally 8:30. I was there as the doors were supposed to open. Yeah, There was a line. There was before the doors even opened. And I was 14th in line.

[Riley Green]

Oh my God.

[Morgan]

And I sat there for three hours.

[Riley Green]

Do you have to take like a driver's test?

[Morgan]

No.

[Riley Green]

Or like, do they check your eyes?

[Morgan]

You're just getting renewal, aren't you? Yeah, they do check your eyes.

[Riley Green]

Oh, God.

[Morgan]

But no, you do not have to do a driver's test.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Did you. Well, when did you have your other idea?

[Riley Green]

A long time.

[Morgan]

So you.

[Riley Green]

It's about to expire this year. My. So I think it's been like, what, 10 years.

[Morgan]

But you're sure you don't. Oh, you're sure you don't have a real ID already though?

[Riley Green]

No, I don't. But I look like so bad in my current one, so I'm really excited.

[Morgan]

You gonna go get all dolled up?

[Riley Green]

Like people, like, make comments. Like people at the airport, they're like, whoa, that doesn't even look like you. I'm like, good. Thank you. Thanks.

[Morgan]

I think they just have to entertain themselves somehow.

[Riley Green]

Maybe.

[Morgan]

When I wore bangs, I always got questioned.

[Riley Green]

You did?

[Morgan]

Yeah. Cuz my ID picture never had bangs. Right. So when I would go, they're like, this isn't you. I'm like, I. I literally pull all my bangs back and be like, hello. And they're like, oh, it is. I'm like, yeah, it's a haircut.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. Oh, we can't get our picture taken every week to get on our idea.

[Morgan]

Update this because I got a new hairstyle.

[Riley Green]

That is really funny. Oh my God.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think they just like to have fun with that.

[Riley Green]

I'm just nervous that I'm going to be missing something. Like they're going to be like, did.

[Morgan]

You put this stuff in online? Because you can put the stuff in, like your documents online to get approved and then you just bring all the documents that got approved.

[Riley Green]

Oh, no, I didn't.

[Morgan]

You didn't do that.

[Riley Green]

I'm old school. I just like to show up.

[Morgan]

Okay, but you're gonna be one of those people who gets turned away. You know how many people I watch get turned away?

[Riley Green]

Are you serious? I have everything I need. I have my birth certificate, my Social Security card, proof of address.

[Morgan]

Like a bill?

[Riley Green]

Yeah, bill for your house.

[Morgan]

Okay. Two different ones. Do you also have. Let me just look it up for all the people who need help. Because apparently being old school.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. What if we don't want to do technology?

[Morgan]

It's literally on the government website.

[Riley Green]

It is?

[Morgan]

Yes. All you do is type it in, Abby. You need real id, Required documents, proof of US Citizen citizenship or illegal presence, proof of your full Social Security number, and two proofs of Tennessee residency. But I think they're specific about those. So you either need two. So a current utility bill, current bank statement, current mortgage or deal of sale, employer verification, paycheck, work stuff, something like that. You need two of those from list A, and then you need one from list B, which is your Taxpayer identification number, form I94 from United States citizenship or the I7. This is a lot of numbers. A lot of heart is hurting my brain.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my. Okay.

[Morgan]

I would double check it before you go. And I would bring more than you think you need because at the very least, it's all in your hands. I watched so many people get turned off. Like, they literally were like, no, you don't have what you need.

[Riley Green]

Oh, that's so bad. Oh, I can't imagine.

[Morgan]

Especially because you did get an appointment. I know. Just verify you have everything you could ever want and imagine.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Heck, I even saw people like, getting their names changed and they. If they had the signature in the wrong place on like, the marriage certificate, they'd get turned away. Oh, I witnessed a lot in my three hours while I was there. I made a lot of friends, too.

[Riley Green]

You were 14 in line and you were there three hours?

[Morgan]

They sat on number nine for like two hours. It was moving really fast. I was like, yeah, we're gonna get in and out. And then it just sat there. And I was like, are you kidding me?

[Riley Green]

They all went to lunch.

[Morgan]

Something happened. I felt like the scene in Zootopia with the freaking sloth.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. That is so funny.

[Morgan]

It's one of my favorite scenes.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. It's so accurate. Like, they would do that. That's the animal that's gonna be in the.

[Morgan]

It is. And that is exactly what it was. Like, that's how it was in my brain. All I was picturing was sloths. And sloths are my favorite animal. Literally. I cannot understand it. So. Yeah, I don't. I feel for people going through that.

[Riley Green]

Oh, yeah. I feel for myself.

[Morgan]

At least you have enough though.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay. Any other fun things happening in your life before we. We jump out of here? Anything else you want to add?

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. I don't think so. Just living life.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Living, living life.

[Riley Green]

Living, living life.

[Morgan]

Are you living large?

[Riley Green]

Living, loving what is it? Living, Loving. Fishing. Fishing. Loving every. Okay, never mind.

[Morgan]

Hunting, fishing and loving every day. Is that what you're trying to do? Luke Bryant song.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, I haven't been hunting yet. I mean, I haven't been fishing lately, so. But I am loving every day. What about you? Laughing and loving every day.

[Morgan]

Oh, I was gonna ask you. Hot take. Do you feel like Riley Green shaming his mustache or Morgan Wallen shaving his mullet was more controversial.

[Riley Green]

Oh.

[Morgan]

Or broke the Internet more. It's probably the better word to say, I think.

[Riley Green]

Morgan Wallen.

[Morgan]

Do you?

[Riley Green]

I just remember it being just a huge. When he, like, cut it off and, like, completely cut his hair.

[Morgan]

It was a wild moment because the mullet was so profound throughout. When he, like, spiked in his stardom into, like, the peak kind of of his. His career. Gone.

[Riley Green]

Because I feel like Riley didn't have his mustache that much. Like, we wouldn't be like, what artist has a mustache and think Riley Green?

[Morgan]

I would now.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But to your point, he's. I think he started having it. If I remember correctly, I saw an interview that Ella Langley wanted him to have it for the. You, like, you look like you love me video. Music video.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And told him to keep it. Or he had it and he was gonna shave it off, and she said, keep it.

[Riley Green]

And then he kept it, and he's.

[Morgan]

Kept it, but now it's gone. And I wonder. I also wonder if there's also theories online that it has to do with all that drama.

[Riley Green]

Yeah. What is going on?

[Morgan]

I don't know, man. But then I also saw Ella Langley post a TikTok video of her literally stirring the pot and saying something like she was singing a song from Kaitlyn Butts of, like, some. Dang it. I wish I knew what the lyric was, but it was like, if I was talking about you, you'd know it. Or, like, something to that effect.

[Riley Green]

That's funny.

[Morgan]

So there's certainly things happening.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And I just don't know. They're just messing with us, though, also at this point. Because I have this feeling sometimes when, like, people think stuff is happening with me or they try and get info, I'll be like, let me stir the pot. Because it's funny. You're playing the game.

[Riley Green]

I know. I think they are.

[Morgan]

That's a whole thing.

[Riley Green]

And then having a show after the next day, people are saying they were normal. So, like, how do you know?

[Morgan]

They performed at sand in My Boots?

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Seemed fine.

[Riley Green]

She brought him out. Like, she invited him during her time. Right.

[Morgan]

She didn't have to.

[Riley Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

She could have been like, if it's so bad, she could have been like.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, you're not bringing you out.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I'll get somebody else to do it. Like, she really could have.

[Riley Green]

So I'm confused. I don't know. I don't really follow that that much. Like, I know there's a lot happening, but I feel like people can skew it either way. Like, people were zooming up on Megan Maroney when they won the award. They see him, they're like, look at her face. And I looked at it, and I was just like, she just was standing there. What else is she supposed to do? So, like, I don't know. I really don't know.

[Morgan]

I know. It's so. It's so funny. And I don't even get that invested, and then it just all starts showing up in my fee. And then I'm just. Next thing I know, I'm down a rabbit hole. I'm like, why am I here?

[Riley Green]

Yep. Oh, it's gonna actually care now that we're talking about it. Even more videos. I know.

[Morgan]

That was so. That was a funny thing that I was watching online. But I do think it's hilarious when dudes cut their mustaches. I love a mustache. I also don't mind a mustache if you don't have one. Vice versa. I'm kind of indifferent. But I do think it's funny because I remember this very vividly when my dad. My dad, my entire childhood had a mustache. And then when we were in high school, we were convinced he should shave it. We're like, get rid of it. No longer the mustache. And I cried when he shaved his mustache because I thought he looked like a naked mole rat. I was like, where did it go? And he was like, you told me to shave it. I was like, I know, but put it back.

[Riley Green]

Did he get it back? Does he have one?

[Morgan]

No, he doesn't.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And now I'm used to it. You know, it was just that initial moment. But dudes do kind of look a little bit like a naked mole rat when they shaved the mustache, you know?

[Riley Green]

Yeah, yeah. No, When I looked at the Riley Greene picture, I'm like, oh.

[Morgan]

And not in, like, a bad way. It's just like. It's just full blown. Like, straight, clean shaves.

[Riley Green]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Just feels like a naked mole rat.

[Riley Green]

Because I like how you do it.

[Morgan]

Reminds me of.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, no, because Riley always has scruffy.

[Morgan]

Mm.

[Riley Green]

And then he went just, like, full on. Oh, I didn't recognize him. It Was weird.

[Morgan]

I know. And he still looks great, but it just. I don't know why. I will. Because of my dad. Mustaches and no longer having mustache remind me of naked mole rats.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. Your poor dad. He didn't look like from that.

[Morgan]

He didn't look like one. I just for some reason associated the two. Yeah.

[Riley Green]

Oh, if you're listening.

[Morgan]

My dad always listens. So for sure, call me about this one.

[Riley Green]

Hey, dad.

[Morgan]

Like, really? A naked mole rat?

[Riley Green]

I think you look great. No.

[Morgan]

Okay. I have a. I have a question. I am considering creating, starting doing a co ed softball and or volleyball team. But should I. Am I too old for that?

[Riley Green]

No, my boyfriend does it. He does volleyball. San. Volleyball.

[Morgan]

Would he want to play on our team?

[Riley Green]

Whoa. Would he? Maybe. But the only thing with him is it's hard because it's usually on like, the same night. Like every Tuesday. Yeah. And every other Tuesday. He wouldn't be able to with his kids.

[Morgan]

That's fair. Well, you all. If you can find a sub, that's all that matters. But yeah.

[Riley Green]

Oh, no, you're not too old. That's fun.

[Morgan]

I'm considering.

[Riley Green]

I'm all about it.

[Morgan]

But also all the softball stuff. Like, even the home run. I didn't want to admit this. I had like. I went and did some practice. Things had been a minute since I had practiced because I didn't get to play in the softball game the year prior because of my sister's wedding and bachelorette stuff. So I went and did some, like, practice. I think I might have messed up my shoulder.

[Riley Green]

No.

[Morgan]

And so, like, then I did the home run derby and I was like, I'm just gonna have to suck this up and do this.

[Riley Green]

It still hurt?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Riley Green]

Oh, shit. How'd you mess it up?

[Morgan]

I don't know. It's like. I think I just might have bruised it because, like, the road, I don't know that I actually, like, hurt my rotator cuff. I think it might just be super inflamed or something. But I'm also like. I want to start these things. I'm like, am I too old in the sense that my body is.

[Riley Green]

Oh, God. Okay. Yeah. When you say it that way, you know, age is just a number.

[Morgan]

I bounce back in the same way. No, it really is very active. But every time I get injured, man. I mean, like when I broke my tailbone rollerblading, or like when I ruined my hip from doing gymnastics, every time, it takes me at least six months to recover.

[Riley Green]

Oh, yeah. That's why I say no, to a lot of, like, ice skating. Like, it scares me, but it's. I get too cocky.

[Morgan]

I love activities.

[Riley Green]

I know. I do too.

[Morgan]

Maybe I just need to be like the Michelin Man. I put me in just like straight up. There you go, all the pads.

[Riley Green]

And then I can play the sand volleyball and pat. Oh, that's gonna be fun.

[Morgan]

Right? Because I've been playing. My boyfriend plays sand volleyball a lot and I've been playing filling in on some of his teams because I used to be a libero and like a back row hitter. But also sand volleyball is drastically different from court volleyball.

[Riley Green]

Oh, my gosh. I like, subbed in one time with mine. Yeah, not great.

[Morgan]

Did you play volleyball?

[Riley Green]

No, I'm a runner.

[Morgan]

That is true.

[Riley Green]

And basketball, but yeah, I did not. Volleyball is not my thing. It would break my wrist if someone spiked it hard enough and I tried to hit. Oh, I snap.

[Morgan]

Ma' am, you're not supposed to hit with your wrist.

[Riley Green]

What?

[Andrea Gunning]

Where do you hit?

[Morgan]

You're supposed to hit on your forearms.

[Riley Green]

Well, let's see.

[Morgan]

Like when you put your hands out, right? Like you close your fists together and you bump with your forearms. If it hits your wrist, like, you're not hitting correctly. There are some people who will, like, hit it with the back of their wrist because they're like last minute reaction.

[Riley Green]

Okay, that. See, that's where I messed up.

[Morgan]

But you're not supposed to.

[Riley Green]

Oh, I. My whole wrist was brown. Like, black and blue. Like, it was bruised so bad after that.

[Morgan]

That's. Unless you were. You're trying to set. Because if you were setting too, you use like your hands and setting, but you were bumping. You're attempting to bump and it hit on top of your wrist.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, just like right here. It was right here on that bone on the inside. By your thumb.

[Morgan]

Yeah. That's bad, girlfriend.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, it was really bad. I'm just very sensitive.

[Morgan]

So you're like, I would not like to fill in ever.

[Riley Green]

No, not really. Yeah, I mean, if. What about it? Maybe.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Riley Green]

I play T ball.

[Morgan]

Okay. That's right.

[Riley Green]

Like during the derby, you guys did like, Bobby's like, abby, you want to hit? I'm like, oh, I think I'm good. I'm good. I don't know how this will go. I haven't touched a bat in like 50 years. Oh, yeah, 15. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Well, that's where I am right now.

[Riley Green]

But don't hurt your shoulder worse.

[Morgan]

I know. I'm having to take a break from the gym too. And it's just Not. I'm not very happy about it, but here I am.

[Riley Green]

I know. It's the worst.

[Morgan]

I know. So anyways, we're gonna get out of here.

[Riley Green]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Thanks for being here, hanging out with me.

[Riley Green]

You're welcome.

[Morgan]

Answering all the questions. Are you going to have a vulnerability hangover? Are you okay?

[Riley Green]

No, I should be okay.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Riley Green]

I had one after on the show. You did. Just a little.

[Morgan]

Those are hard. But you did great. You didn't do anything wrong and you were authentic and you shared your story.

[Riley Green]

Yeah, I'm just sharing my story.

[Morgan]

It is your story. You're like smiling like. Never mind.

I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal Police. Lt. Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all, his wife, Caroline.

[Morgan]

He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

How far would he go to cover up what he'd done?

[Eddie]

The fact that you lied is absolutely horrific. And quite frankly, I question how many other women are out there that may bring forward allegations in the future.
