She is not with us.

[Chelsea Handler]

Okay, great, great, great. Way to start. Maybe you will cry. Ross Matthews, you know what kids always say to me? Are you a boy or a girl? Oh, my God. All the time. I know. So I try to butch it up for kids so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up. It's basically like an angry woman. Doris Day, right? No, I turn into Bea Arthur.

[Morgan]

Best bits of the week with Morgan. It's listener Q and A time where.

[Amy]

Morgan and a show member answer almost all your Questions.

[Morgan]

Here we are on listener Q and A. And in case you're coming from part one, then you already know we're from our homes. Amy is joining me this weekend, but in case you're not and you're just jumping on here. Amy, thanks for joining me from your house.

[Amy]

Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm checking out. I got a little visitor at my bird feeder, and it's so cute. It's a tufted titmouse.

[Morgan]

You do get tufted titmouses often. I feel like that's your, like, maybe third highest visitor in the bird category.

[Amy]

Yeah, tufted titmouse. Male cardinal, female cardinal. I haven't had a blue jay at my new feeder yet. The big question was who's going to show up first at my new feeder? My mom or my dad? And the cardinal showed up first.

[Morgan]

So male cardinal or female cardinal?

[Amy]

Female.

[Morgan]

So your mom.

[Amy]

Yeah. A male cardinal came close, but went to the tree by the feeder, but then didn't stop at the feeder. And then along came the female cardinal. But my mom, she doesn't identify. She could be the male or the female.

[Morgan]

Okay, fair. And your dad's the blue jay, right?

[Amy]

He's your sibling.

[Morgan]

He going to be the male cardinal anyway? Correct.

[Amy]

He's the blue jay. And then there's a little finch shows up a lot. There's a few that. That frequent, but. Oh, morning doves. Which. Eddie's dad is a morning dove.

[Morgan]

Do you think Eddie's dad is visiting you as the morning dove or Eddie just thinks his morning doves are that.

[Amy]

I mean, I'll. I'll think it's Eddie's dad for the sake of it.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

It's cute. They travel in pairs. So maybe when the mourning doves come, if there's two of them, it's Eddie's dad and my dad together, and they're just speaking Spanish, being best friends.

[Morgan]

I love that. All right, we got a shout out from Darnella. She says, my favorite duo. Thank you. And we're going to get into some questions here. Erica, in Wisconsin, is there any place in the world that you haven't been and you'd like to go visit?

[Amy]

Alaska.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. You want to do the Alaskan cruise?

[Amy]

Yep. For speaking of, for my mom, it's what she wanted to do before she passed away and she wasn't able to. So, I mean, there's lots of places, though. I want to do the Alaskan cruise. I want to go to Montana or Wyoming. Paris. That's another one. I want to go to Paris. Especially because I just read the Nightingale and also recently watched the new season of Emily in Paris. So there's that, and then there's a World War II historical fiction book that has made me want to go to Paris. Like, I just. Ugh, I want to go.

[Morgan]

Do you think you will accomplish any of those trips potentially this year?

[Amy]

No. Nope, probably not.

[Morgan]

Is that more, like, because there's so much happening in your life or what? Like, what's the talk to me about that?

[Amy]

Okay, well, there's talks of a trip this summer for vacation with my boyfriend and his family, and it's Iceland.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Which. Okay, that's wonderful. I would love to go there. And that's so great. And we're invited, me and my kids, so that'll be a wonderful experience. It's just not on my list.

[Morgan]

Well, okay, let me tell you this, because I was also looking at Iceland because we have direct flights from here now, and that was a trip that I was going to plan, and that's.

[Amy]

Why it's now a trip.

[Chelsea Handler]

Okay.

[Amy]

That's right. His family's doing it. Yeah.

[Morgan]

But we were going to, like, bop around and go a bunch of places because of that. And you can easily bop to Paris from there if you want to pop off for a hot second and go see Paris.

[Amy]

I'd just be like, hey, guys, can y' all watch my kids for a second? I'll be back. Oh, you can bring.

[Morgan]

You can bring your keys.

[Amy]

Now, here's the part that's cool, but also sad. My kids have been to Paris.

[Morgan]

I know. I remember you talking about that, and you were really bummed.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, I was happy for them. They went with their dad, so.

[Morgan]

But now they can experience it with you, and maybe they can even tell you some of their favorite things that they gotta see.

[Amy]

I would be fine to go by myself. Honestly, Morgan, you might be onto something. Like, I just bebop on over there for a day or two, and then come back to Iceland and be like, hey, did y' all miss me? Yes.

[Morgan]

I. I fully believe in this. I think it'd be awesome. So I think you should go and still use it as an opportunity to see something that you haven't gotten to see.

[Amy]

Okay, so that handles that vacation. And then if I go anywhere in the winter. Winter, it might be Colorado, but I'm not totally sure yet, but to see my sister. So I feel like you could get.

[Morgan]

Your sister to do the Alaskan cruise.

[Amy]

I'm just saying that is a matter of us both finding the time at the exact same time to do it. And those cruises, you need, like, nine days because you have to fly, then you have to go to the port, get on the boat. I mean, you probably all in all need more like 10 with some of your flights. I don't know when we have that. It's just finding the time for that.

[Morgan]

You could do it over Christmas time into New Year's, and you'd be in Alaska for New Year's.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Listen, if you. Hey, if you want me to, I will encourage you. I encourage everybody to take the trips that they always wanted to take. So I will push you in certain directions to hope that you start crossing them off your list. Okay.

[Amy]

Thank you. So what are y' all gonna do? Or what's your answer to this question?

[Morgan]

Well, so one of the places that I really want to go is Switzerland. So we were talking about doing Iceland and Switzerland because I. I just love the mountains in Switzerland. They' like the. You know, the mama of all mountains. So that's one trip. And then I also. More mountains. There's a road trip that's Glacier national park and Banff national park, and then you kind of go on a little road trip up there. So that might be the other one, but we'll see. Those are like, two that are kind of in the works right now. It just kind of depends how they fall out and timing and prices of flights and everything. Because both of those places are really expensive. So we'll see. Because I. I'd much rather plan trips than start to plan a wedding. That's where I'm at right now. I'm very stressed every time I think about wedding planning. So I'm like, I'll just plan some trips and.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's.

[Morgan]

Yeah, exactly. What are your relationships like with your co workers outside of work? This is Stephanie in Michigan.

[Amy]

You know, I just thought about how we need to maybe do another. A girl's night.

[Morgan]

Oh, we haven't done one of those.

[Amy]

In a long time. I know. It's been forever. And I was even thinking of, like, oh. Because I didn't know if y' all had been to. You haven't been to my new house. But I was thinking about how you and Abby came to my house for Thanksgiving one year. That was so fun. And then I was like, I could host something here and we could do, like, a girls night. Because at my house, before my last house, that's what I did. We had a little girls night, and y' all all came over and. And Morgan one came to. So anyway, that literally. I didn't know that there was this question, but I think. What? I hosted Caitlyn's shower, and I was thinking about how I need to host things more, and I was like, I should host the girls from the show, which it's now just three of us.

[Morgan]

I know we can still invite Morgan one. She's still in the picture with podcasting, so.

[Amy]

Yeah, totally true. So Morgan number one should come anyways. But I was thinking we could host like a little girls night. Or maybe even if, like, the wives wanted to come, we could invite them too and just host like a girl's night. Oh, that would be fun. Can make it.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we should definitely do that. I think that would be good.

[Amy]

I feel like Kelsey would be down for sure. And for sure, Laura, they.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think Lunchbox's wife would too. As long as Lunchbox will take over caring for the kids for the weekend. Yes. One night situation. Speaking of kids, Olivia wants to know, how are the kids and Alex together? Alex is your boyfriend?

[Amy]

Oh, they're great.

[Morgan]

Yeah, all good things.

[Amy]

I mean, I very, very thankful. How easy. And, you know, we don't. My relationship with his kids is great, his with mine.

[Morgan]

Good.

[Amy]

Our kids get along. I'm very grateful. But they also don't have to. They don't live together, so nobody's spending that much time together. Who knows what would happen if we were all under one roof. But the way we work it right now, it's a. It's good. I love it. Good night. Yeah, that's good news.

[Morgan]

Okay. And can you tell the story of how you met Bobby? This is Sadie from Ohio.

[Amy]

Yes, I met him at Culver's. I was there visiting my friend Andrea. Her parents own the Culver's in Austin. She's my best friend from high school. And I just stopped by to see her because it was kind of by my work. And I look over and I see a guy eating by himself. And I listened to the show and there was no social media yet. There wasn't anything. But there was kissfm.com, 9617 Kiss fm.com because I had. And I'd recently joined the Kiss club to get tickets to something. So I saw what Jill and Bobby and Lunchbox looked like. Jill was the co host, the girl. And I listened like an hour every morning not knowing what they looked like, but I had. When I joined the club, I knew and I was like, oh, okay. So I look at my friend Andrea and I said, I think that that's Bobby Bones. Over there. And she did not know who I was talking about. She just said, who? And I said, I listened to their morning show every morning. And she was like, oh, I don't listen to any morning shows. And I said, well, I'm in the car for, like an hour. So I knew, like, everything going on in their lives, and I was like, they're so great. And so she gave me some ice cream coupons, and I went over and I said, are you Bobby Bones? And he said, yes. And so I said, I listen every morning, like, Jill's my favorite. Here's some ice cream coupons.

[Morgan]

And that was the rest of history, basically.

[Amy]

I mean, there was some stuff in between. But later Jill left to become a teacher. And then there's like a way longer story attached to that and then to that. But that's how I first knew Bobby. So anything that happened after that, it was like, oh, you're the. You're Amy. I met you at Culver's. Because then we were also training for the same triathlon. And then we started to see each other places, and then we. We got to know each other. And then I was auditioning to take Jill's spot, and they ended up hiring someone in radio. But then Bobby and I had already become friends, and I didn't talk to him all the time, but I remember being at work one day and he called me and he was like, hey, can you go to dinner? I need to talk to you about some work stuff. And I'm like, yeah, I just. I just got a promotion. I'm kind of busy. You know, I don't know what this is about, because I was still sensitive to thinking that I was going to get the job eight months before that, and it didn't work out. And then we. I ended up meeting him at Galaxy Cafe, which is where he ate all the time. He has his hyper fixation meals. And he was only at Culver's because he was getting his tires changed, like, at the Firestone next door. So it was very you guys to interact. Very meant to be. So we go to Galaxy Cafe and he offers me the job. And I was like, what? Um, but I had literally just. I swear I had gotten a promotion and a pay raise like that. I had just asked for two weeks before that. And so then I had to go back in my boss's office, and I was like, I'm here to give my resignation. And they're like, what? We just gave you a raise? And I was like, remember that radio job from, like, eight months ago, they want me back or they want me now. And they sort of thought it would be a fun opportunity. And they're like, well, when that radio thing doesn't work out, you're always welcome back here. And now 20 years old on them.

[Morgan]

You come back like 25 years later, you're like, so, about that job.

[Amy]

Oh, I've already sold the company. My friend Luke, he actually, they sold the company and he. We're the same age. We went to high school together. He's retired.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Oh, dang. Maybe I should have stayed. But, I mean, I didn't have any ownership in the company and he did. But still, they ended up selling it for a lot of money. So that's how that happened.

[Morgan]

I love that. Okay, that's a great place to. We're gonna take a one quick break. We'll be right back.

[John Paulk]

I'm John Paulk. For years, I was the poster boy of the conversion therapy movement, the ex gay who married an ex lesbian and traveled the world telling my story of how I changed my sexuality from gay to straight. Once upon a time, I was on 60 Minutes, Oprah, the front cover of Newsweek, and you might have heard my story, but you've never heard the real story. So join me as I peel back the layers and expose what happened to me in the midst of conversion therapy to shine a light on what the X Game movement does to people and the pain it continues to cause.

[Questlove]

I had lost £150 because if I.

[John Paulk]

Couldn'T control my sexuality, I was going to control my weight.

[Amy]

It sounded like, and this is the word I used, a cult.

[John Paulk]

And as I look too, at the harm I did from within, listen to atonement, the John Paulk story on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Chelsea Handler]

This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler. We've got some incredible guests like Kumail Nanjiani. Let's start with your cat. How is she?

[Amy]

She is not with us anymore.

[Chelsea Handler]

Okay, great, great, great way to start. So this is a great beginning, and hopefully you'll be able to, I don't know, maybe you will cry. Amanda Seyfried.

[Amy]

Life is so short. If you feel something like that, you.

[Morgan]

Have that fire in you for this experience.

[Amy]

It's not for a guy. It's for the experience of being in love. And, like, it's bigger than a guy.

[Chelsea Handler]

Elizabeth Olsen.

[Amy]

I love swimming naked so much. And I know you love taking pictures of yourself naked.

[Chelsea Handler]

I love to be naked. I just want to be in my bra Underwear all the time. Ross Matthews. You know what kids always say to me? Are you a boy or a girl? Oh, my God. All the time. I know. So I'm always like, hi. I try to butch it up for kids, you know, so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up. It's basically like an angry woman. Doris Day, right? No, I turn into be Arthur. Listen to these episodes of Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Questlove]

Hey, what's up, y'?

[Morgan]

All?

[Questlove]

This is Questlove. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with ASAP Rocky. Ahead of his album release, don't be Dumb, he reflects on his journey from his Harlem roots to global icon status, discovering the hip hop origin of his name. The ledge was on the tv. Rakim had the bucket hat, Kango joint on. Pops was like, that's Rakim. That's who you nameked after. I just was like, damn, that got swag. Rocky offers a window into not only a boundary breaking artist, but as a man committed to fusing creative ideas, community, and remaining unapologetically himself. Have you ever gotten roasted for any of your outfits? For sure. Some people don't be getting the vision. Look, they could roast me, they could cook me, they could deep fry me, they could saute whatever they want. Nobody with my fashion sense and my taste is impeccable. I'm just like, I impress myself a lot. It's an amazing conversation, one you definitely don't want to miss. So listen to the Questlove show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. A new year doesn't mean erasing who you were. It means honoring what you've survived and choosing how you want to grow. It means giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help. I'm Mike De La Rocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This podcast is a space for men to talk openly about mental health, grief, relationships, and the patterns we inherit but don't have to repeat, here, we slow down, we listen, we learn how vulnerability becomes strength and how healing happens in community, not in isolation.

[Morgan]

All right, we got a double question from Trish here to start us off. Amy, have you and your boyfriend talked about marriage and are you open to it, or are you scared or maybe don't want to get married again?

[Amy]

We have talked about it. I am open to getting married again, and we're not rushing anything.

[Morgan]

Okay. Yeah.

[Amy]

To put it, I think there have. If I'm being fully transparent, there was a time where I think we had more of a timeline in mind, if that makes sense. And we have since pushed that, not because we don't see it as a possibility, but just because we both. With our kids and various things going on, we don't need to rush it. So. And I'm glad I got over that hump, because there is sometimes this sort of, like, oh, okay, well, it would be easier, but then it's like, well, would it? And then we don't want to, like, make a mistake and go. Go too fast when we really don't need to. I don't know.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So going on your guys's own timeline, and what works for you guys is exactly how it's supposed to be. Right?

[Amy]

Like, that's. That's the whole thing, feeling this pressure of, like, oh, it's been a year, which, for me, y' all have to understand. My first engagement, we were dating for three months, then got engaged, and then, like, less than three months later, we were getting married. So, you know, we were dating and married in six months. Yes. So for me, dating someone for over a year and not being engaged, just. We're doing good.

[Morgan]

Yeah, this is good. Change is good. Sometimes necessary. The other side of this question, Morgan, have you started planning for your wedding, and do you want a big wedding? And I kind of mentioned this a little bit earlier. No. Planning a wedding kind of stresses me out. Every time I start to look at it, I panic and close my phone.

[Amy]

But I wanted you to clarify that because I know you, and not that you need to give any details at all, but when you say that, I want to back you up so that listeners don't get the wrong idea of, like, oh, could that be a red flag that you, like, don't want to plan your wedding, and that's not the case, and I'll vouch. I'm just saying, as a listener, if I were to hear you say that and be like, oh, you should pay attention to that, Morgan, because the fact that you're running away from planning the wedding could be a red flag, but it's not.

[Morgan]

No. Yeah. Thank you. I appreciate you having my back. No, I, I very much. The reason why it stresses me out is because I do very much want a small wedding. I want to be married in the mountains. And I. I don't know how to do that in the right way. And I. It's also like, this balance of I want everybody around while also having, like, an intimate ceremony. And I just, like, feel like every time I look every which direction, there's like, oh, this costs $20,000 and this costs $50,000, and my head just explodes of how am I going to accomplish the things that I want to accomplish and us be happy while making everybody happy? There's just, like, so many. You know, it feels like you. You realize just how much people have to take into account when they really do start planning a wedding. And something that him and I have talked about is to make sure that we're staying true to exactly who we are and doing what makes us the most happy and what we'll remember at the end of the day and while also still getting to celebrate with people we love. So it's just like, honestly, it's the. The stress and the overwhelm is coming from how much things cost and just, like, how much. If you see on social media, there's just so many things that people say you have to do at weddings and, like, have. And it gets in your head, you know, you get, like, it makes you think, oh, well, am I. Did I do something wrong? And I keep really trying to come back to, like, no, this is what I want. This is what I want to do, and how can I make that happen in the best way? And it's just, like, really hard. Honestly. There's so many options, and every which way, every time I go down, like, a rabbit hole of wedding stuff on TikTok, I get like. I'm like, okay, oh, there's another option. Here's another thing to do. And that's where so much of my overwhelm is coming from. So he's great. He's like, I'll. I'll marry you tomorrow at the courthouse if you want to go and do that. Or we can wait five years from now, whenever. Whenever you are ready, and whenever you're happy is when we'll go for this. He's been supportive of my chaos.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, that's good. And I don't think it's chaos. I think you're just trying to figure out what you want.

[Morgan]

Yeah, well. And it's hard. I. You know, I didn't really plan Much on a Pinterest board. I wasn't like, one of that person. Like, I have things that I'm like, oh, that will be a cool idea, but I never had a wedding book or anything like that. I never planned anything out. So I'm just not somebody who, like, oh, I'm get. I'm engaged. I have everything ready. I know what I want. I know what this. I just really don't have that. I'm not like, I dreamed about getting married, but I really just only thought about, like, finding a partner. I never really thought about the wedding itself, honestly. Besides having a really cool dessert table, I think that's all I've ever thought about.

[Amy]

Hey, you know what you like.

[Morgan]

Exactly. So thanks for having me back. I appreciate that. But, yeah, that's where we're at right now. And we're going to end this on. What kind of hair training does Amy do so you don't have to wash your hair? That's from Rhino in Oklahoma City.

[Amy]

Okay. So I used to do hair training, and that was just during COVID where I would just go as long as I could without washing it, and then I could. And then the longer I went, the easier it got, like, the less oily and stuff. But I don't. I don't do that anymore because I've seen too many speaking of TikTok videos talking about how that's not actually the best for your hair and keeping it cleaner is better because I used to think the less I'm washing it and drying it, the healthier it will be. That. That. And I think a lot of us thought that way. New research shows. Oh, what is it? Just that you want to be washing and cleansing your hair and that's the healthiest that it's going to be. And basically you're disgusting. For Colleen, hoping some girl put up some video and she was giving all the science behind it, which I can't regurgitate, but she was like, in your follicle, blah, blah, blah, blah. And she was like, also, it's just gross. And I was like, she's not wrong. Sometimes I would hit day 10 and I would be, like, itching.

[Morgan]

What is the acceptable amount to not wash your hair now?

[Amy]

Well, now. Now I've been going, like, by the fourth, like, let's just call it on average four days. Sometimes it might be three, sometimes it might be five. But I'm not. If I'm going longer than five now, which I can. But it just. Life is busy and you don't want to be.

[Morgan]

Itching your head all the time.

[Amy]

And I don't want to be itching my head, but I try not to. I hear that girl in my head, and it's not even just like, oh, you're gross. I hear her with whatever science stuff she was saying about the follicle and wanting to keep it clean and healthy so that it can grow, because that's where we want to take care of it at the root.

[Morgan]

Okay. So it goes back to have balance, so you don't have to wash it every single day. But maybe don't go in 10 days like Amy was doing.

[Amy]

Don't go as extreme like we were doing back in Covid days. And that. That. And I also was using tons of dry shampoo, and I've cut that way back because a hair person I had, like, did not think that was healthy for my hair at all. And so this prevents me from also having to use dry now. I still use it from time to time, don't get me wrong, but not nearly as much as I used to.

[Morgan]

Okay, good. Okay, we love this Hair Training 101 with Amy.

[Amy]

Just get on that TikTok algorithm and you'll see these videos that I'm talking about.

[Morgan]
