Inspired by two "Survivor" contestants disqualified right before filming, the crew shares personal stories about the biggest mistakes they've made—separate from regrets.

• Amy’s Mistake: Rushing into marriage instead of developing the relationship more slowly.
• Lunchbox’s Mistake: Missing the callback from "Real World" due to going to class, possibly missing a career-launching opportunity.
• Eddie’s Mistake: Charging an impulsive Hawaii trip to see Pearl Jam and U2—which led to years of debt.
• Bobby’s List: From a catastrophic football coin toss decision, drag-racing golf mowers at work, to skipping a life-changing trip to watch a pivotal basketball game.

Notable Quotes:

• Lunchbox (on Survivor): "How can you not just wait 24 more hours to get on the island and start playing the game? How stupid." (05:00)
• Amy: "I don't regret my marriage, but... the mistake I think we made was rushing into it because I think if we had gone slower, we could have learned more and our marriage would have been different." (06:02)
• Bobby (on his top mistake): "We kicked off to start the game. We kicked off at halftime. I came off the field. Coach Gandalf said, ‘For one of the smartest people... that's the dumbest blankety-blank thing I've ever seen.’" (10:41)

Notable Quotes:

• Amy (on her illness): "I just had like, see, flu, the normal good old-fashioned flu. ... The flu sucks. It sucks everything out of you." (12:44)
• Bobby (about her wrestling emotions): "That was your most vulnerable—you were stripped down to your real emotions." (14:00)

Segment #5: Eddie’s Almost-Scam (22:14)

Overview:
Eddie and the team detail a texting scam where someone tries to lure men with invitations to steak and red wine. Live, they “bait” the scammer, debating how real it might be and sharing similar scam encounters.

Key Discussion Points:

Key Discussion Points:

• Abby’s Story: Date claimed “I’m a millionaire. I know this stuff” during a mortgage debate—immediate red flag.
• Crew’s Opinions: Most women found the flex off-putting; Lunchbox thinks it's cool. The group discusses whether it’s ever appropriate to bring up money or debt early on.
• Authenticity and Red Flags: The consensus—proclaiming wealth too early makes someone seem insecure or untrustworthy.

Notable Quotes:

• Abby: "He told me he’s a millionaire… and I said, why did you just tell me that?" (58:06)
• Bobby: "That’s kind of… he’s like, want to know my net worth?" (63:04)

---

Segment #1: Morgan's UFO Video Goes Viral (70:04)

Overview:
Lunchbox is beside himself with jealousy when Morgan’s UFO sighting at Disney World is picked up by the Daily Mail. The show discusses the nature of viral stories and the feeling of being “scooped” by one’s own coworker.

Key Discussion Points:

• Morgan’s Unintentional Viral Fame: Her UFO video was featured, along with her backstory and professional photo, in a major publication.
• Lunchbox’s Reaction: Utter disbelief, playful resentment, and mock accusations that Morgan must have a PR firm.
• Life in the Spotlight: The randomness of what captures public attention, from UFOs to failed hot dog eating attempts.

Notable Quotes:

---

Notable Memorable Moment

Bobby on Lunchbox’s Jealousy:
"My absolute worst nightmare come true… She sees a drone. It’s not a drone. She said it was a drone. We’re not convinced it’s not a drone. I don’t know. It’s on Daily Mail. I was, like, talking about the most disgusting thing." (71:36)

Part two.

[B]

She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby Bones show this week.

[A]

Welcome. Welcome, everybody. It's time to catch up on the Bobby Bones show from this week. Before we get into it, check out part one, part three this weekend with Mike D. He joins me to talk all the things New York City in part one, that's where they went on vacation. And the thing that he gave a five out of five, which is very rare for Mike D. And we also talked about the detox cleanse that I'm currently going through for getting rid of my long Covid. And then part three, we answer listener questions as always. But if you don't want to do that and you just want to ignore what I just said, that's totally fine. Let's get caught up on the show. There were two contestants that were about to be on Survivor, the newest season, and they got kicked off right before filming began. And Lunchbox says it was the biggest mistake of their lives. So everybody on the show started talking about what was their biggest life mistake. Maybe it'll make you think about yours, too.

[B]

Number seven, we're going to talk about the biggest mistake you ever made in your life. Now Lunchbox brings this story because what did you see happen? Oh, my goodness. Survivor 49 is about to start. Right. So they just revealed the cast and they said two alternates had to be put in the game 24 hours before it started because they fly down to location. You're not allowed to talk to people. You're not allowed to make eye contact. You're not allowed to make signals. And two players were trying to non verbally communicate, like form an alliance before the game even started. And they got kicked out of Survivor. Did they know each other before? No. Like, how did they find each other to even start trying to cheat? I assume they have meetings or whatever or they're in the hallway, they're eating at the same place. I don't. But Jeff Probst said we do not allow any form of communication. And when you break the rules, we take it very seriously. And they have to legally because of the money. If there's prize money, it follows under federal rules. Like when I Dancing with the Stars. They couldn't tell us anything. Like, I didn't know anything. I never knew if I was leading. I never knew where I was. They never said, you're doing good or bad because they can't because it's real money. It's a competition. It's a game. So they're off the show. Imagine you're one of the alternates, though, and you're like, man, I almost made it. Yeah.

[A]

What?

[B]

Oh, I'd be a game changer. And that's what he said. He was like, they went through the whole casting process. They made it. They were selected. They get down there and buy your dreams come true. Dreams crushed. See you later. Does this drive you crazy as someone who's always wanted to be on the show? Oh, drives me nuts. I'm like, how can you not just wait 24 more hours to get on the island and start playing the game? How stupid. Like, you have to go home to your family and all your friends that know you're going on Survivor and be like, yeah, man. I tried to form an alliance before the show started. I got kicked. I mean, you'll never get another chance. It's over. Biggest mistake you ever made in your life now. Not regret. I think that's a different thing. Biggest mistake you ever made. We know Amy's.

[A]

What.

[B]

What's Amy's? Marriage.

[A]

No, no, I don't regret my marriage. I. I'm glad I was married to Ben. I'm thankful for our two children, I guess, in that. That.

[B]

Don't let him troll you. Don't let him troll you.

[A]

No, I won't. I don't regret that. I do not regret my marriage. I would not change it. A mistake I think we made was getting married so quickly.

[B]

Okay, so what's the biggest mistake you ever made, Amy? You can go first.

[A]

Well, honestly, that before Lunchbox, like, hijacked my whole marriage. That's not a regret. I do not regret my marriage, but I think a mistake we made was rushing into it because I think if we had gone slower, we could have learned more and our marriage would have been different. If that makes sense, I accept it. So that. That I. I think we could have had a. A. A better time. I don't know that the end result would have still been the same.

[B]

Lunchbox. Do you feel like she's just saying what you said?

[A]

No, I already had it.

[B]

I nailed it.

[A]

No, no, Bobby. I feel like it's very different. I don't regret it.

[B]

I just wonder if he hears what you're saying, or if he hears what he said, just echoed back.

[A]

No, I still. I would never change. Being married to Ben and having the rel. Our relationship. I think we could have had a different relationship had we paused, taken more time to get to know each other, and had more tools and resources. Because, honestly, when we were going through trying to save our marriage, I thought this could actually happen. But then, like, so much, so many years, like, so much damage had been done.

[B]

You don't have to defend it.

[A]

I guess I'm just sharing that I think the mistake is what if we had gotten those tools earlier?

[B]

There you go. Yeah.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[B]

You know what I hear?

[A]

What do you hear?

[B]

I hear if we would have gone slower, we would have never got married.

[A]

Okay. But I don't regret.

[B]

A little bit.

[A]

But that's not.

[B]

I know, I know.

[A]

It's like y' all not hearing what I'm saying, because I think if we had gone slower, we could have gotten to know each other and, And. And learn how to handle things in a different way.

[B]

You're letting him troll you, Amy.

[A]

Yeah, you troll.

[B]

You're letting him troll you. Lunchbox. What is your biggest mistake ever?

[A]

Mine's now joining the show. You want to guess his 20 years ago. What's yours?

[B]

Don't pick a real one. Assign one to him like you did here.

[A]

Oh, but, I mean, I probably know what he's gonna say. What he's gonna say when it wasn't home when Real World called and I missed the Los Angeles area code, and then I missed my shot on the Real World lunchbox.

[B]

And it was one day in college. I drove to College Station, Texas. I did an open casting call for Real World Road Rules, and I drove back to San Antonio, and I had a 4pm Economics class, and I was like, well, I'm home in time. Might as well go to class. And I got home, and they had called the house phone, and I missed it.

[A]

You don't know for sure they weren't.

[B]

Offering you a spot? No, no, I'm not saying they were, but they were offering me to go to the next round. They were saying, hey, you were so interesting, we need to talk to you again, or, hey, did you leave your wallet behind? We found something here. It could have been anything. I mean, I just sat there, and I'm like, why would I ever go class? And why did they call my home phone? Like, why did they call the home phone? Why did I even give that an. Oh, man. It's just I, I, I think about it probably twice a week.

[A]

Probably why you gave that as an option is because we didn't have cell phones now.

[B]

We had cell phones, man.

[A]

Oh, you did?

[B]

Yeah, I had one of those. I had a next tail where you could. It was like a walkie talkie. Why would you put your home phone. I. I wanted to make sure they had every way to get a hold of me, and they only called. They picked the second one on the list. That's why we don't know it was that. Okay, but. Okay. Got it, Eddie. Worst mistake.

[C]

Oh, man.

[B]

About a year after we got married, we were debt free. Like, we were just newlyweds, no money problems. And I saw that Pearl Jam was opening up for you two in Hawaii, and my wife says, let's go. We got a credit card and we went to Hawaii. It was awesome. But that was the start of my $40,000 debt. Because after that, dude, like, we just went, hey, barrier has been broken. Like, why? Stop putting everything on that credit card, man. We got into so much debt. I would take that back in a heartbeat. I made a list. Number three on my list is I was captain of my high school football team my senior year. We went out for the coin toss, and we were playing Sparkman, and it was for a spot in the playoffs, like, a higher spot. And so I go out and Coach Gandalf's like, we want to kick. We want to play defense first. And I'm like, all right. So I'm fired up. We go out, they win the coin toss, and they're like, we defer. And I'm like, we're gonna kick. Which means we're gonna kick. But they get to pick it second half. So we kicked to start the game. We kicked it half time. I mean, it was the worst decision ever made.

[A]

Oh, I know.

[B]

Yeah, it was terrible. What did the ref do, though? Did the ref. He looked at me and was like, are you sure?

[A]

Because when they, like, they can't guide you.

[B]

No, no. When they defer. So in case everybody knows, that means they want to make their selection at halftime, and their selection is going to be receive at half. So that means we have to receive at the beginning of the game or we kick off twice. We kicked off to start the game. We kicked off at halftime. I came off the field. Coach Gandalf said, for one of the smartest people I've ever had on a team, that's the dumbest blanket thing I've ever seen.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Loud. Everybody heard it. We lost the game by six points. Oh, no.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, it's real terrible. That's a terrible mistake. Number two, drag racing mowers. When I work maintenance on a golf course, should have never done it. Didn't win the race. Thought it was stupid to begin with. We have our green mowers on the back of the carts. We're drag racing them on a side street and the superintendent of the golf course pulls around and sees us. And it's another time I got screamed at. Other person got fired. I didn't get fired. I was a good employee. I wouldn't do that though. Got nothing out of it and lost the race. Number one is not going a couple years ago to San Francisco to watch Arkansas and go Zaga play basketball because I thought I don't want to fly all the way out there and lose. And we ended up winning. Going sweet 16. That would have been awesome. I regret that. Yeah, those are my three biggest mistakes.

[A]

Yeah. So all right, yours are all.

[B]

Whose is the worst? Mine are all what?

[A]

Well, sort of. I mean drag racing is.

[B]

Well, that's not a sport. That's a sport. But I wasn't doing. It's being stupid. I can't believe those people get kicked off Survivor because they were trying to like low key cheat. That's not even real cheating. So rest in peace. To their career. To their short lived reality show career. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[A]

Number two, Amy was out sick for over a week. She went through it, so you're gonna hear why she was out sick. What happened, all the good stuff. And she also watched Unreal which was her punishment for losing a game from weeks ago. But more importantly, it was because Bobby saw that she was being a hater of all things wwe so he felt like she should have to watch Unreal and maybe have a different perspective.

[B]

Number six. Okay, Amy is back. She's been gone for a couple of weeks. She's been sick. What were you sick with? What'd you have?

[A]

Well, multiple things I think it, it just sort of kept piling on, escalating. But like the main thing, I don't know what took my voice away but like I had a flu.

[B]

A flu. Could have been anything.

[A]

The bird. No, I just had like see flu, the normal good old fashioned flu.

[B]

Old fashioned, old fashioned flu sucks right away. You forget because everybody throws it around. The flu sucks. Yeah, because it sucks everything out of you. You lose your voice, you throw up.

[A]

Chills.

[B]

Yeah, it's about fever. Do you have fever?

[A]

Yeah, I had.

[B]

You called us with like a suppository in on the air as weird.

[A]

Suppository was for nausea.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then, you know, there was the whole lie. Infection.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

That's what I started calling it because.

[B]

Thank you for that. We, before we went away, your punishment from the wheel was to watch that Unreal wrestling show. It was. It's wwe. I really liked it and you were very much. And you still are a wrestling hater. What are your thoughts on the show?

[A]

Yeah, I guess I would have never watched it if I wasn't being punished. But, you know, I guess it's good that it fell on when I was sick, cuz that's going to give it a 3 out of 5 stars.

[B]

I feel like you got well and then started hating again. I feel like the score has come down since you got well and this is unfair to the show.

[A]

I agree. I heard back the segment where I called in, or actually I. I watch it on YouTube and I was like, wow, I got emotional over Cody.

[B]

Yeah, I think you really like the show. You got emotional over Cody Rhodes the wrestler.

[A]

I think I was unwell.

[B]

No, no, you can't blame it on illness. That was your most vulnerable. You were stripped down to your real emotions. Not someone trying to put on this facade of, I don't think wrestling's cool.

[A]

Okay, well, several days later, when I come across it on YouTube, I'm like, I don't even know who that is on the phone and who's getting oddly emotional. I mean, it was a sweet moment, I get it. But I just don't know that I'm that invested in these stories because, like, then I started to think, like, was that even real? Like, did it. You know, his dad was arrested.

[B]

The documentary was a work.

[A]

Well, no, but was his dad, like.

[B]

Yeah, famous.

[A]

Really? I know he was famous, but like, did. Was it part of his script or, you know, because triple H, like, there's a puppeteer or gorilla, whatever.

[B]

Like, you're just saying words you learn now without knowing the content.

[A]

No, the gorilla room is after the gorilla monsoon guy or whatever.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

And you know, there's a puppeteer. They're pulling the strings. So, like, I don't know if they just pulled at my strings.

[B]

I think the documentary was pretty real. It's called Unreal because wrestling is. Is not. Wrestling is if, like they were extremely athletic stuntmen doing a Broadway show.

[A]

Yes, I agree. I think that.

[B]

And you're being a hater and I was gonna take you to WrestleMania, but I'm not anymore.

[A]

Well, I thought maybe I Wanted to go to Wrestlemania and you know, you said, wait till the meds wear off. And I did, and I think I'm good.

[B]

Although now you don't want to go to WrestleMania?

[A]

No, no, I don't want to go to Wrestlemania, nor do I want to go to Royal Rumble.

[B]

The Royal Rumble would be awesome, wouldn't it, Mike? That would be so cool. Like, you don't even know who's coming out and next person can come out.

[A]

Have gone?

[B]

No, never to Royal Rumble.

[A]

I'm surprised.

[B]

I've never been to one of the big events. I've been to like, like a Raw, like back in the day, but never a real event, but okay. So you're not in for wrestling anymore? You're not gonna be a wrestling partner?

[A]

No, no. I'm sorry.

[B]

Dang. Okay.

[A]

Sorry about that.

[B]

That's first thing. We got a lot to catch up with. Amy, she's been out. Eddie is out. One comes in, one goes out. I don't even know what's wrong with Eddie, but he's like, I have feverish and I think he has a sore throat, so he's out. I have friends, like, the whole family's got Covid, like bad Covid right now, so maybe. I don't know if that's going around.

[A]

It is. It is going around. Yeah. I talked to my pastor. He said it's like. It's like I was on my deathbed and he was like, you called your pastor?

[B]

You think you were dying early?

[A]

No, he called me about something and he was like, what's wrong with your voice? And I was like, oh, I'm sick. But I just realized how it sounded, me being sick talking to my pastor. But he did say that Covid was going around in their team too. He's like, I think it's just everywhere. It's having another little. Another moment, another little party.

[B]

A resurgence.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The predictions will we see a first time winner and the pressure. Billie Jean King says pressure is a privilege, you know, plus the stories and events off the court and of course course, the honey deuces, the signature cocktail of the U.S. open. The U.S. open has gotten to be a very fancy, wonderfully experiential sporting event. I mean, listen, the whole aim is to be accessible and inclusive for all tennis fans, whether you play tennis or not. Tennis is full of Compelling stories of late. Have you heard about icon Venus Williams, recent wild card bids, or the young Canadian Victoria Mboko making a name for herself? How about Naomi Osaka getting back to form?

On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us podcast, I sat down with Warren Campbell, Grammy winning producer, pastor and music executive to talk about the beats, the business and the legacy behind some of the biggest names in gospel, R and B and hip hop.

[B]

This is like watching Michael Jackson talk about Thriller before it happened.

[C]

[A]

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[C]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.

[B]

[C]

Until this, pull that, turn this. It's just I do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.

The iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Eddie almost got scammed. Normally I have to come on here and say that it was almost Amy, but this time, Eddie may actually get scammed. We've been dealing with this texting scammer who reached out to him saying they wanted to go for steak and wine, but oops, wrong number. A whole situation. Although Eddie has continued texting in quotation marks, Judy. And now we all think he may actually get scammed.

[B]

Number five, Eddie was out sick yesterday, so we gotta get an update because he got a text from someone going, hey, you want to get some steak and wine? And we're like, dude, that's a scam. But he didn't think it was a scam at first. He thought it was somebody that just had his number randomly because he asked me, hey, put this number on your phone and see who it is. And I love steak and red wine. Like, nobody would ask you that. See, Amy Agrees. Specific. Yeah, let's do. Give me this voicemail here. Ray.

[A]

Daddy's conversation that he had a text wanting to have steak and red wine. Same thing just happened to my dad. Lady turned out to be Anita, lived in California and wanted him to download telegram so they could carry on their conversation. Just thought I'd let you know that yes, the text that Eddie received is a scam.

[B]

Is it Anita? No, mine's Judy. Okay, would you read, please read the message all the way through. They text you and say, are you free tomorrow night? Let's go have some steak and drink some red wine.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

So then I put the number on my phone, it doesn't come up. So I'm like, eddie, I don't know who this is. It's not a like friend. I said I think it's a scam and that he's like, I don't know, I love steak and red wine. Okay, go ahead. You respond with, hey, sounds like something I'd love to do. Who is this? Now we put you up to that. Yeah, you told me to write that. Okay. And go ahead. And then she responded, I'm Judy. Isn't this Jenny? That's what they say. Then you go, no. Well, and then I responded, I say, it's not, but I would love some steak. I mean, here we go guys, you're baiting them now. I'm baiting the scammer. Okay, go ahead. And the scammer responded, sorry, I dialed the wrong number. I hope I didn't disturb you.

[A]

Dialed.

[B]

Okay, sounds like somebody in another country that doesn't quite know the vernacular. Go ahead. And then that's it. No, you respond, be like, no, no, no, no. If the scammer, the scammer has me on the line, I'm like, I love red steak. So you're saying that's not a scam? No, dude, this is Judy. Even though you got a text with a voicemail with the same thing. Okay, respond. Okay, what do you want me to say? Hey, what do you want me to tell Judy days later? I mean it's been days later. I'd be like, it's Judy, right? Uh huh. Judy. Hey Judy, just checking in, wondering if you ever need a new steak and wine partner. Okay, hey Judy, repeat that. Hey Judy, just checking in, let me know if you ever need a new steak and wine partner. But you know it's a scammer, right? You're in your heart of hearts, you think it was a wrong number. And it's the same thing this caller gave us I do, because I feel like they had me on the line, right? That a scammer could have just taken advantage of me. Or they know, you know. Oh, really? Scammer? That doesn't stop scammers ever. Okay, give me this voicemail, please.

[A]

Your friend, Luke Bryant. I need to know for sure if he's getting reward because he's asked me to marry him. Otherwise, I have a scammer. I want to keep him and his family safe, and I can't lose money. Thank you.

[B]

Okay, speaking of scammers, Luke Bryan not getting a divorce. He did not ask you to marry him. I'm saying this from a place of love. Keep your money. Do not communicate with that account. Do not communicate with that account. Delete it. That is not. Luke Bryan not getting a divorce, doesn't want to marry you. You have a scammer. Amy, what'd you just look at?

[A]

I was trying to. I got a scam text the other day and I forgot about it, but I was trying to look it up. I mean, nobody was asking me for, oh, here's what it said. No steak and wine. But it just. The only note is, I'm really sorry for the delay in contacting you. How's your day?

[B]

And so then you hit him back and you go, what? That's okay. I don't know who this is. It's just. No, not you. Don't do it. You'll fall for it. Amy will be $10,000 in debt and come back on the show. I don't. Just. You just ignore that. Amy, is it a regular number?

[A]

It's. Yeah, looks regular. So I could see how maybe you would start. Be like, like delay and what. But gosh, steak and wine is just so specific.

[B]

I got a text here.

[A]

It's like someone being like shrimp and grits. Are you ready?

[B]

Exactly. Let me read you this text. Do you want to get some steak and wine tonight? Whoa. It's from Eddie. It put him in the mood and he asked me if I wanted to get some steak and wine. Hey.

[A]

Hey.

[B]

We got a response already? Already we got a response.

[A]

Wow. Judy's fast.

[B]

Judy's real, real fast. What time is it? And like, oh, my gosh, this is not helping my face. India, right now. Go ahead. She said, good morning. Emoji. Smiley emoji. She's back on the line and she said, oh, oh, oh. She goes, hahaha. Where do you live? Oh, no, say, where do you live? We gotta say, I live in Tennessee. No, yeah, you can do that.

[A]

Say Texas.

[B]

I don't want to give the scammer any information about me. Okay, then lie, dude. Say I live in Arkansas.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. And then write whoopig Suey. And then say, where do you live? Because if you say that, they'll know you're telling the truth. Arkansas. Where do you live? Right. Whoopig suey, though. How do you spell sioui? S, O, O, I, E. She doesn't know either, Eddie.

[A]

It's probably he.

[B]

It's probably a he.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. This is crazy. We're live timing with the scammer right now. I mean, yeah, like, good morning. I'd like to rehabilitate a scammer. Like, get them on, bring them in. Oh, yes. Show them the good life and be like, no, you can do good things instead of, like, trying to steal money from people because it's really evil.

[A]

It's.

[B]

Yeah, it's. Dirty dog. It's so evil. Dirty dog. Okay, Any bubble or anything? No, just delivered. Not even read yet. We're gonna jump out. If you get an update, let us know. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[A]

Number two, Bobby has divided the Internet. Well, really, everybody against him because he put something in his fridge that is not supposed to be there, and everybody has a lot of thoughts and feelings about it. He did a whole video on it. He also did a Spanish video on it. It was a whole situation. So you're gonna hear this and let me know your hot takes. You can slide into the bobby bones show DMs, let me know how you feel about all this, or you can go to his Instagram @MrBobbybones and share your thoughts on the video.

[B]

Number four, I keep deodorant in the bathroom. I keep deodorant here in case I need it. Now, one of the things that I showed on my Instagram was I keep deodorant in the kitchen in case I walk by and need a swipe. Because sometimes you're like, oh, man, I forgot to put on deodorant. And I keep it in the fridge. I keep it in the side, like, behind the mustard and the ketchup, and I. And it feels so good to put on cold deodorant in the summer, because most of the time when I walk by and I'm all warm, it's perfect. People freaked out on the Internet. Yeah, I wasn't trying to go, hey, this is for everybody. But there's not a better feeling than cold deodorant on a hot summer day when you need deodorant. And don't have to walk to the bathroom to get it.

[A]

I hadn't thought about how refreshing that might feel.

[B]

Oh, you'd love it. You know, sometimes when you're sleeping, I.

[A]

Don'T know that I would.

[B]

And your pillow's all like, oh, it's all hot. And you turn it over, you're like, oh, this feels great. Cold side. That's what it feels like. But put it under your arms, and it smells better.

[A]

Okay, well, you would know what was best for your body. I certainly have never seen it before. But you can't be the only person in the world.

[B]

Well, according to my Instagram, the only only person in the world. And I'm the stupidest person in the world for doing it. It's got 2, 000 comments right now.

[A]

Wow, that's a lot of comments.

[B]

I got one. Positive one. Deodorant in the fridge is a game changer. It applies so much better.

[A]

Oh, okay. Well, there you go.

[B]

Boom. Someone said it's weird. You don't keep mustard in the bathroom, do you?

[A]

Well, no, but you don't walk by and just eat a squirt of mustard.

[B]

That's what I said. I don't need mustard in the bathroom. If I needed it, I would put it there.

[A]

Okay, I want to kind of go to the profile of the person that said that. They also put it in their fridge.

[B]

Why?

[A]

I don't know. I just kind of like, who does this?

[B]

Okay, it's somebody named Hagen Brister. And in their bio, follower of Christ. Okay, Student minister at phbc. I'm in. Sounds like a good person to me.

[A]

Wow. I didn't mean for you to totally shut that person.

[B]

Oh, I had him right here.

[A]

Okay, well, yeah, maybe y' all are onto something.

[B]

Bobby and Hagan, this woman says her name's Dana. She says, what's weird is that it's in the fridge with food. Put it in the junk drawer.

[A]

No, but we didn't. We didn't know about the cool factor. Like, I just thought. Like, I thought you're putting in the fridge to keep it out of the way because you don't want deodorant, like, out on the counter in the kitchen.

[B]

That was fine. That was the first thought of it. My wife's like, why is there deodorant on the counter all the time? And so I put it in the. In the fridge behind the condiments, which she never uses. She hates mustard and ketchup and never had them in her life. So I knew if I put Them behind it, she would never see it.

[A]

Okay. And then it just turns out that you enjoy that.

[B]

It was like Viagra. Viagra wasn't what it is now. It was a blood pressure medicine, and they noticed not. It's not the only thing getting pressure. So for me, when I put it in the fridge, I was like, oh, not only am I hiding it from my wife in a place she'll never look, it's so refreshing to put on.

[A]

Okay. I mean, I get it. Like, sometimes I put my eye cream in the fridge. Similar thing. Like, so that when I apply it to my eye, it feels, like, a little cool to the skin. So I. I can support that part, I guess. And yeah, keeping your deodorant wherever you need it for a little quick refresh, then. Good for you.

[B]

U.S. an account called Old Lantern Antiques, right. Writes, wearing sleeveless shirts is weirder. Just saying.

[A]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[B]

I'm getting trolled by an antique account now. My own.

[A]

Yeah, I support that. Antique.

[B]

No, it's not. All of my shirts are sleeveless.

[A]

I know.

[B]

But not to show off arms, because I have. Have average to slightly above average arms. It's too. I do slightly above average. I for sure do. I know where I am in the world of arms. It's because I just like to be comfortable and feel loose.

[A]

No. And you. You don't.

[B]

Why did you laugh when I said slightly above average?

[A]

I don't know. It's just funny that you rated them that way. And then also that you. You. You don't buy sleeveless shirts. You cut them.

[B]

That's correct. I don't like how stores do them. They're restricting. I know exactly in the neck where I need to cut. And shirts get retired to the sleeveless pile. And then after they're retired, a new one moves in, a new one goes.

[A]

Out under that sweater.

[B]

Right now it's a sleeveless shirt. Yes. Yes. Went to the. Had to go to the doctor yesterday and give my blood, which sucked because I have some tests. We're doing some tests and stuff. And so my wife's like, are you wearing that? So I put a sweater over my sleeveless shirt. And she goes, you're wearing a sleeveless shirt inside out, and you're wearing, like, a cardigan sweater over it just to hide the fact you're wearing a sleeveless shirt. There are two things I stand by deodorant, the fridge and sleeveless shirts all the time.

[A]

Well, I am. I'm with antique. Whatever. Whatever.

[B]

Everybody can shut up. I'm getting trolled by an antique account. That's. That's terrible. Most people do not agree with me. It's just because of one of those.

[A]

Things where I'm kind of like, yeah, should we not knock it till we try it?

[B]

You didn't know we were to keep deodorant in the kitchen, especially in the fridge from just underscore Steffi. Anyway, you guys can go over to my Instagram and see the video at MrBobbybones. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

Through something like that is a traumatic experience, but it's also not the end of your life.

[A]

That was my dad reminding me and so many others who need to hear it that our trauma is not our shame to carry and that we have big, bold and beautiful lives to live after what happened to us. I'm your host and co president of this organization, Dr. Leitra Tate. On my new podcast, the Unwanted Sorority, we wade through transformation to peel back healing and reveal what it actually looks like and sounds like in real time. Each week, I sit down with people who've lived through harm carried silence and are now reshaping the systems that failed us. We're going to talk about the adultification of black girls mothering as resistance and the tools we use for healing. The unwanted Sorority is a safe space, not a quiet space. So let's lock in. We're moving towards liberation together. Listen to the unwanted sorority. New episodes every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Zach Top.

[B]

I'm a big fan of Zach. Zach, good to see you, buddy.

[C]

Good to see you, man.

[B]

Being here, you're always like, super nice. And what I hear from my good friends, now that you've gotten really famous, you're still super nice. I like that.

[C]

That's good. Yeah, I like that a lot. You're trying to not be too different.

[B]

Yeah. You're like the mo. And I mean this as a compliment. The most normal, extremely talented now. Rocket ship riding guy now.

[C]

Well, thanks. I appreciate that.

[B]

Do you feel like your life has changed a bunch in the past year?

[C]

Yeah, no doubt. Yeah.

[B]

How so? A lot of got a nice watch on.

[C]

Yeah, I guess. Goofy stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. There's, you know, obviously being recognized a lot more as interesting and different. It's still fun for me. I know. Like, you know, at some point, people all kind of start to be like, all right, now I need to have my privacy a little bit too. And I kind of get that feeling sometimes. But I'm still like. I just get a kick out of it if somebody recognizes me in airport or grocery store or something. It's still. It's pretty fun for me.

[B]

Do you feel if you're not wearing your cowboy hat, people don't recognize you as much?

[C]

No, I wish.

[B]

Oh, really?

[C]

I've tried to be more incognito and just put a ball cap on. And the other day I was in.

[B]

Bass pro shops and everybody's gonna recognize you in bass pro Shops.

[C]

Well, that was my first mistake. That's right. That's my. That's my obviously obvious clientele. So that was dumb to think I wouldn't. But I was in full relaxation, day off, off of the road mode. And I was wearing a pair of jean shorts, cut off, cut off, jeans that were way too short, and white socks that were up to my calf, and camouflage Crocs. And wandering through there in my ball cap and sunglasses, thinking I was gonna breeze through there with nothing. Sure enough, there's a bunch of people that come up and ask to take a picture. And it's like, great. Well, this is how I want to be remembered by people in my white socks and my camo Crocs. But yeah, I. Somehow I don't think. I guess maybe that's just a. Everybody. You wouldn't think. You have a very recognizable face from.

[B]

Your own perspective, but also the single mustache.

[C]

Well, yeah, there's.

[B]

And also the fame and the fact you're putting out awesome music. I mean, I think that's probably the biggest part of it. Would you mind retelling a story that you told me once about? Sure.

[C]

Because again, if I can remember it.

[B]

Well, you'll be. Remember it. It's about calling and setting up your own gigs when you were a kid.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Would you mind retelling our audience that story?

[C]

Yeah. Well, it was basically, it was just the first gig our. Our family orthodontist growing up, who was also a good friend of ours. Kind of a bonus set of grandparents, really, to all those kids. Anyway, he and my dad were in. Randy Schuler is his name. Randy and my dad were all in Rotary Club together, you know, doing the small town thing there in Sunnyside, Washington. And we had recently started. Well, I guess it'd been a couple years. I'd started playing guitar. The rest of my siblings had taken up instruments too. We weren't really playing as a band anyway. The Rotary Club I think had something to do with. They were putting on this Patsy Cline musical at the local high school. And so Randy called my dad and asked John, would you. I heard the kids been playing some music. You think they'd like to come open up the show for us? And my dad was like, well, Randy, I don't know. I don't even know if they're a band, really. You're gonna have to talk to them. So I don't remember it personally, but I've been told the story many times, and I'm sure it gets more fantastic every time. It's Told. But that little seven year old me, I guess I would have been at the time, got on the phone with Randy Shuler and Randy asked me, well, we'd like to come open this show. And I said, well, we'd love to do your show. When is it? He said, well, it's a couple months away. And I said, perfect. That way we'll know some songs by the time the show comes around. So that was kind of. Randy is. Is the reason we started the family band, really. We were all just learning instruments and not really trying to do anything with it. And anyway, so he was kind of the. The birth of the family band. Top string.

[B]

You have your guitar with you?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Can I ask you a couple things? As you hold your guitar, what is like. What's like the most famous bluegrass lick? Because I know like famous blues licks.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Can you. Can you give me like a. Some sort of like a very famous bluegrass or like a traditional bluegrass lick that.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That our audience would know. I love something. No, no, no. Okay, don't do that. That you think's awesome. Okay, here we go.

[C]

The G run is. I mean, that's the most overused and. And fantastic one.

[B]

That's a good one. Well, you ended on that. Yeah, that's like.

[C]

Yeah, exactly. That's like an ending lick, but you can throw it all over the place in the middle. You can start songs with it. It's like I said, it gets overused.

[B]

If I were to tell a joke, you end it with that. We'll do three jokes. Ready?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Why don't skeletons ever fight each other? Well, they don't have the guts. It works. Let's do one more.

[C]

It's perfect.

[B]

What job did the frog have at the hotel? Bell hop?

[C]

We ended with a little seventh there. You know, a little more funny. I like that joke pretty well.

[B]

I don't know. You're speaking Mandarin right now, but I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah. Whatever you just said, I can't agree anymore. You just put out a whole new album.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Now you've been crushing it. I don't know, is there more pressure now that people have an expectation from you or is it just fun to get new music out?

[C]

I think there's, you know, the age old fear of the sophomore slump or whatever, but I don't. I feel very confident in these songs. It's funny, you know, a lot of this record was already written and a bunch of it was recorded before we ever put out the first one.

[B]

What do you mean? You had already written all the Songs. You just didn't put them on the first record.

[C]

Yeah, a bunch of them. Yeah. We. I think there's 10 on here that were. Yeah, stuff that was recorded before we ever. Before we ever put out the first record, and five that we recorded after. But most of those were written before still, too. So it was kind of. It was kind of a cool way to. You know, I spent close to five years or something here just writing and, you know, playing a little on the road, but not much. You know, there's not much to tour on if you don't have music out. So playing. Playing bars all around. Not around Nashville, but on the road, you know, it's playing cover songs and stuff, but anyway, just doing a ton of writing and so had a bunch of stuff stacked up. I think we had recorded somewhere around 30 songs before we ever picked the first 12 to be on the first record. So it's kind of a cool. Like, you could kind of zoom back and. And look at big picture sort of. Hey, I think this song sounds more like, you know, next record fits more there. So we already had a plan, you know, for most of it before the first one came out. So it feels like, I don't know, that preparation makes it feel like there's less pressure and. Yeah, mostly I'm just pumped to have.

[B]

More music out for those that are listening to this. And you heard him tune his guitar in 1.2 seconds. Like, what you watched there was Picasso paint. He goes, yeah, I got that. It was super fast. And I know. Are you gonna retune for Splitsville?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay, let's listen in.

[C]

Okay, you gotta put her down in the drop D. So you hear. We got an E note on there that don't fit with that D chord.

[B]

Oh, no, it does not.

[C]

Now we got crazy.

[B]

That's crazy. Do you think you've just played so many hours to be proficient, or do you think there's something in you that helps your proficiency?

[C]

I think there's. I think there's definitely something in you that's got to kind of start it. But, yeah, there was a lot of hours put in on it.

[B]

I've heard that ages 10 through 15 are kind of the ages where a lot of people get great playing an instrument because there's not much you can do at that age. It's not like you're 16, you have a car or a job. Would you agree with that theory?

[C]

Yes, 100%. I can't imagine, Like, I know, you know, lots of folks that, yeah. Pick up an instrument or Something while they're in high school. I can't imagine doing that. Yeah, you're just too busy. There's too. You got too much responsibility at that point. When I was. I don't know. Yeah, I started playing at five. Probably from the ages of like eight to 15, I was probably playing two or three hours a day. I just. I loved it that much and that's all I wanted to do. But yeah, now it's like, who has two or three hours a day to sit and work on an instrument if it's not your job already? And so it's. Yeah, I think it's. That's definitely true.

[B]

Would you turn on music and play along with music?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And what would you listen to the most to play along with?

[C]

My parents had. Remember those old. It looks like a briefcase, but like a tape deck. Yeah, exactly. Had one of those. And so there was all kinds of stuff. I remember that was the first place I heard the don't close your eyes record. Keith Whitley, he was. He's obviously one of my favorite. Probably my favorite singer. That was where I discovered his stuff. I think I learned that whole record well, and they had a. One of the greatest hits ones in there too. So I remember learning I'm over you and no stranger to the rain, all that stuff. Bunch of George, Straight stuff. My mom and dad's favorite was George Strait. So I had a ton of that stuff around. And then like Dan Seals, I remember discovering everything that glitters is not gold. Loved that song. But yeah, that was mostly like. I feel like early on I was doing, you know, playing scales, practicing chord shapes, doing that kind of thing. And then as I got a little bit older, it was just about like finding songs that I love that I hadn't discovered before and learning how to play them. And so, you know, keep widening your vocabulary that way.

[B]

Ain't in it for my health is the record that's out today. You can stream the crap out of it. And Zach is going to play Splitsville for us now. So here he is. Zach talk, everybody. Thank you.

[C]

Thank you. Figured we'd need a good. Pick me up a nice up tempo, fun song for. For this morning.

[B]

Oh, I'm sorry we can't post the live performance on the podcast, but if.

[C]

You go to our YouTube page, you.

[B]

Can watch it there or maybe listen live.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

All right, now back to the podcast. Tell me about writing that song.

[C]

That was one with myself, Carson Chamberlain, my producer and co writer on all that stuff. And then Paul Overstreet, I believe it was Carson's idea, the splitsville thing. I heard the term, you know, whatever the reference and it's like just a wacky sounding kind of, you know, almost like it's a made up word. I don't think it's in the dictionary. And then.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

Yeah, it's just a cool, you know, that's something every. That bridge. I love that bridge. The. You'll find someone. I'll find someone. Talk about trying to stay friends. There's definitely. I had that little melody thing going and I think Paul just kind of spit all that. Most of that stuff out and you will. Yeah, it's like, yeah, that's the idea. And then. Well, yeah, we'll go back and like tweak and make sure everything sits just right. And you know, it's. There's. There's a good balance there between. You don't need too much wordplay. Everything doesn't need to be a little trick. Everything doesn't need to rhyme perfectly. Make sure it says what needs to be said more. So that's like Haggard's one of my favorite writers where like the rhyme schemes were a lot of the time not perfect and. But it was like the song said what it needed, needed to say to, you know, convey what he was trying to get across. So yeah, there's. We try to have a little balance there of. Don't wrench on it too much. If it feels good, kind of go with it but obviously make sure it makes sense.

[B]

And what about when you wrote I Never Lie? Can you tell me a story about that?

[C]

Yeah, that's. That's one of my proudest songwriter moments. There we. I was another Carson idea and he had kind of framework for a chorus going, I believe. And then how he and I would usually do it. We'd show up a half hour before the rite was supposed to start. Whenever our third was going to come in, you know, and we'd kind of kick around ideas and figure out what we wanted to do that day. And so he had this framework of a chorus and I loved it. We kind of mostly finished the chorus and then Tim Nichols was the other co writer on that. He came in, we played him the chorus, he loved it. So we went to town on it. But that we got stuck quick on that first verse. We. I think I threw out the first couple lines. The. Well, it's been some time. You still look like an angel Heard you're doing fine. And then we were stuck on that line for a minute and you know, I'm Sitting there with Tim Nichols, hall of fame songwriter, and Carson Chamberlain, who probably ought to be a hall of fame songwriter at some point. And anyway, and I was the one that came up with the. Got promoted back in April. And that's, you know, obviously angel in April. Not really a rhyme, but it kind of works, and it feels good. And so anyway, that was kind of how that thing started, and I think the rest of it fell out pretty dang quick.

[B]

It's funny when you say angel in April, just speaking it. Yeah, you're right. You're like, oh, that's not a rhyme. Right. Would you mind just playing that? Can you play that? Just that part of it? Because I think when you sing it, because I've heard the song a million times, obviously it makes total sense, and you don't question it.

[C]

Feels right. Like I said, I got to be the one that threw out the line when I'm sitting there stuck. We're stuck on this thing with. With a couple of guys that's got a list of hit songs longer than I can remember.

[B]

So on this new record, what's the very last song that made it? You have 15 songs here. But what's the. I'm always curious.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

And does that mean you just wrote it if that's the case?

[C]

Not necessarily. I'm trying to remember. I know Loving the Wrong Things was the only song I wrote in 2024. There's five on there that we recorded. Yeah. Sometime in the spring of 24 or. Sorry, spring of 25. So, yeah, that was written. I think it was June or something of 24. And then. Yeah. Recorded it early in 25. So that was. Yeah, I think we had a little bunch of them that, you know, you kind of like, what feels. Are we missing? What subject matter are we missing? What kind of, you know. And don't get on top of something else that we have. So that was definitely one of them. And then that. Actually, the last song on the record, Honky Tonk Till it Hurts, was. That was one we had recorded for a long time, but, you know, was in the mix of a couple other things. You know, uptempo, fun things that was like, nah, this needs to be. Needs to be on there.

[B]

September, you got the. The big tour. The big U tour.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Things selling like crazy.

[C]

Yeah, man.

[B]

Do you watch ticket sales?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Because some people are not neurotic about it, but when I was doing stand up, I'd watch every ticket. I was like, am I over? Do people. Now?

[C]

I'm. Yeah, I'm not crazy. I'll ask for like weekly updates or something every Friday. That's pretty helpful in the day. Yeah. What we sold this week, Are you surprised?

[B]

I mean, it's going. It's the story of town.

[C]

How it's. It's crazy. I. I guess I'm just based on our, like our tour earlier this spring, which. This is just the continuation of that, I guess, the fall version. But it was. It was. That was insane to me how, you know, we put on a bunch of. I think the average size was probably like 2500 or something. You know, playing bigger clubs and everything in the spring just sold like. It was like they were gone in five minutes when the general public on sale happened. And so that was almost like a dang. We undershot here a little bigger venues. Yeah, exactly. It's. And you know, there was even people upset that it's like, dude, nobody can get a ticket to your show. It's.

[B]

You know, obviously you're the Savannah Bananas of country music.

[C]

I'll take it. I love the Savannah Bananas. But yeah, it's. Man, it's cool to see. And I feel like, yeah, this time around, it's. We kind of have a little more of a sense of where we're at. So the venue sizes seem appropriate and the ticket sales are kind of going in an appropriate rate. See, I'm pumped. Yeah. It always surprises me that, I don't know, people keep wanting to come out and see me, but it doesn't surprise.

[B]

Me at how good you are and how great your music is. But it's just that fast of growth you rarely see.

[C]

It's insane. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

So that's what I meant by that.

[C]

Yeah. 100%. No, it's crazy. The. The. I feel like, yeah, the amount of growth that we've seen just in the last year and a half is like. I probably would have been pumped about it if that had happened in five years or eight years. And so, yeah, it's like we went from riding around in a Dang 15 passenger Chevy van with all our gear in the back of it and everybody having to sleep on a bench seat to rolling around in buses and stuff so fast that, yeah, it's sometimes easy to slip into taking it for granted. And I try to pinch myself a lot of times and be like, man, remember where you were like the beginning of 2024. We were still running a sprinter band.

[B]

That's why you go to bass pro and crocs and tall saw.

[C]

Dang, right. And cut off.

[B]

Remember where you came from the Colbert and Country Music Tour. September starts back the new records out today.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Let me ask you one final question.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What do you do for fun? Have you got nothing to do for a day?

[C]

A lot of times play golf. Love playing golf. If I'm in the mountains, I love fly fishing as well. But, yeah, more times than not, it's play golf. Go out on the lake, on the boat, a little bit too.

[B]

Ever had a hole in one?

[C]

No, sir. Come close. One time, I think it was like 124 yards out. Hit a. Hit a gap wedge in and landed like inside the lip of the cup and like almost just. You saw it lift straight in. Yeah, yeah. And it just like shot off the green because it came in so hot. But anyways, yeah, that was as close as I've come.

[B]

Would you play golf?

[C]

Yeah, I thought so. You play a good little bit, huh?

[B]

I played a little bit, yeah. I play when I have time.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, we have a weird job that we have no time for a long time, and then we actually have some. Yeah, a lot of time.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

And golf's tough if you're not consistent.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

Well, man, it's really good to see you again. Congratulations on everything. Hope everybody listens to the record like crazy. Goes watch on tour. Zach, top. One of the nicest guys around. Zach, good to see you, buddy. There he is. Zach, top.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[A]

Abby recalled the date that she went on years ago where the guy said something super unusual on the very first date. So unusual that she never went out with him again. We're talking all about it because there's a whole conversation about the number one thing you should be bringing up within the first date. And Bobby didn't agree. I kind of agree. And we debated it. Everybody had different thoughts and feelings. And it all revolves around money.

[B]

Number two, I was reading a story where they're like, hey, if you go on a date, you should talk about money the very first date. I think it's a terrible idea. However, Abby has a story. Not with her guy now, right?

[A]

Yes. Not him.

[B]

A guy you dated before, your guy now.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Who told you what on the first date?

[A]

He told me he's a millionaire. Oh, my God.

[B]

What's wrong with that? Okay, that is awesome. Is that cool or douchey? Which one? It feels douchey. How did he bring that up? And did he use that word, millionaire?

[A]

And was he. Is he like a multi millionaire or. Okay, yeah, he did use the word millionaire. So we were like. We went to a fall festival, had a few drinks, and then we went to eat somewhere after. So. Yeah, but we were talking about. We were kind of debating on if it's. If you should pay your house off, if you could or, like, you know, put more into the principal. All that.

[B]

And that's what the conversation was on the first date.

[A]

Yeah, we were.

[B]

Well, you guys were going at it. Sounds like love. All right, go ahead.

[A]

Yeah, we were really debating that. And I just. I was not backing down. He wasn't either. And he's like, listen, I'm a millionaire. I know this stuff. And I was like, oh, my gosh. And I said, why did you just tell me that? Because after that, I'm like, no, I.

[B]

Think he thought it was going to be a flex. Like, he found a reason to say it. And I'm sure that was loaded in. Like, he was trying to find a way to bring that up.

[A]

But also, what a weird way to say it. Like, because I have a million dollars, you should listen to me, and I know what I'm talking about. Which maybe he is wise with money, but that just sounds very, like, condescending. Like, I have this and you don't. So I'm right. Yeah, that's how it appeared to be.

[B]

Did you. Were you turned off immediately?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Did you go on a second date with him ever?

[A]

No.

[B]

Was it because of that?

[A]

Yeah, it actually was. I mean, if she was really, really attracted to him, she might keep going. He must have been. There must have been something else, too.

[B]

They're talking about mortgage rates on a first date.

[A]

That's probably it. Yeah. He was a little too serious, I think, and, like, trying to prove that he was right at things. But I just. I don't. I like you to be humble. Like, I don't like that you're bragging and trying to be like, oh, I'm rich.

[B]

But that was also, I'm rich and you're not.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Like.

[B]

Like, Amy said, well, I'm a millionaire. So what I say holds more weight. But it's also, if you say that on a first date, that's the worst. But all the guys in the room. I don't consider myself one of the guys in the room. Honestly. You're a guy of the room.

[A]

Yeah, but look, what do you consider yourself then?

[B]

I'm in a fuzzy cardigan. I mean, how. How masculine am I? They were like, they thought it was awesome. So you thought it was awesome for him to scream millionaire? I mean, I'M shocked. Abby immediately said, like, I'm out. I thought that would be the time where you were like, I'm in. Exactly. The heart emojis pop up as soon.

[A]

As he says, I'm more into money than we are. You always like to say, women just want to date men for money, but why not?

[B]

Women like security. Right.

[A]

None of us are attracted to a guy behaving that way.

[B]

But I don't think the security that most women are attracted to is someone on date one proclaiming how secure they can make you in a.

[A]

Just like. I can't think of another word.

[B]

Was he triggered because you were like. You were like, argument. And it got a little more argumentative than maybe it was just not flirty anymore, probably, I think. So, Morgan, what if a guy had told you, I'm a millionaire, or if he'd have said, in any way whatsoever, yeah, it's been good. I mean, I'm a millionaire. What would you have thought?

[A]

Yeah, first of all, I would have questioned it, because I don't feel like millionaires also come out and be like, I'm a millionaire. I think they're pretty discreet about that. So you even coming out that way, I'm gonna have questions. And also, yeah, I probably wouldn't go on a second date if you're screaming so weird.

[B]

You guys are so strange.

[A]

Yeah. Does he just go on every date just seeing who's gonna, you know, be like, oh, okay. Finds a way to sneak it in.

[B]

He's probably married by now. I bet all three women on the show are like, eh. And you two guys are like, you women are. I. I think all three women on the show are not being real. Right? Yeah, that's right.

[A]

I think we've all been very well.

[B]

You heard Amy go, did you say millionaire or multi millionaire like that? That's what she's talking about, Amy saying that. That's right. That was her. Like, one or many.

[A]

Well, because, I mean, I just feel like it's such a. Both would be weird to flex on, especially just in. Especially the way he did it. Like, the only way I would find that acceptable is if you were like, okay, we're gonna both talk about how much money we have. Are you ready? On the count of three. Like, but even that would be weird.

[B]

That would be weird. It would be super weird if he brought that conversation up. If he's like, I think we should both talk about how much money we have, because he's only saying that so.

[A]

He can say how much he has.

[B]

The move would be Is if she. Abby, in this case, like, I think we should say exactly how much money we have in our bank accounts. And then I'm looking at her like, why do you want to know? Even then, I think I would downplay it. I would always downplay it, because I wouldn't want someone wanting to be with me because of the money I had. That's why somebody that screams they have money probably doesn't have money or. Yeah, I don't. Abby. I don't believe him. What kind of car did he drive?

[A]

Oh, here's the other thing. Here's the kicker. So he basically lived in, like, an RV that he towed behind his truck.

[B]

That's why he's done it. Yep.

[C]

That's it.

[B]

Didn't have a house payment. He sold his land. Yeah.

[A]

He had a truck in an rv. That was his house.

[B]

I don't believe he's in the river. Did he have a wad of cash?

[A]

No, I don't think so.

[B]

Did he have a black card?

[A]

I don't remember what he had.

[B]

Anyway, I would say that any dude doing this this early, that's. That's kind of.

[A]

He's like, want to know my net worth?

[B]

Yeah. Well, and I'm right, and you're wrong because I'm a millionaire, and you're not right.

[A]

We weren't even talking about money.

[B]

You were.

[A]

You're talking about mortgages.

[B]

It was the real sexy conversation of mortgage rates, and I don't know how that came up interest and. Yeah, so the whole issue here was, do you talk about money early on? The answer is I would probably not talk about money early on.

[A]

Ish.

[B]

I think date three or four, you can kind of adapt, but you can also tell a little bit. Yes.

[A]

Morgan, I don't have a problem talking about money early on. I do have a problem being like, hey, I'm a millionaire. That. I think you should definitely talk about your financial habits. Like, do you like to save money? Do you, like, on date one?

[B]

That sounds like a mortgage talk.

[A]

I think date two and three, you're starting to get into it, though, because you don't always time. I think you have to learn pretty early on if you guys see money in a similar way. Yeah. So, like, what date do you disclose debt? I mean, daylight five. I feel like you should be like, I have some.

[B]

What in the world? I think. I don't think it's a number. I think it's of when you decide you're, like, taking a next step.

[A]

The next step.

[B]

Right. I think that's Information you don't share until you realize you're gonna be with that person for a little bit. It doesn't have to be, like, committed for engagement or like a boyfriend, girlfriend, but that's like, we're gonna spend some time together, so we should start investing into each other. Morgan's jumping in.

[A]

No, I feel like day five, you're starting to have like, Morgan sees guys.

[B]

And she's like, I'm a millionaire. She's the one on the other side.

[A]

No, but I do think it's important to talk about that stuff early on. A lot of people don't talk about it, and then they're like three years in and they've never talked about it. Oh, yeah.

[B]

Well, I think eventually five to three.

[A]

Years is a lot of time.

[B]

Yeah, I would say, like three or four months is when you really get into your money habits.

[A]

Yeah. I don't know. I feel like that's too late. Like, before that.

[B]

I don't like Lunchbox and his wife still haven't. And they've been married for how long? 10 years.

[A]

Well, they don't have to because they have separate accounts.

[B]

What works different for everybody is my point. And she knows I'm successful. I mean, she looks at me like, this dude's got a job. He's on a national radio show. What do you drive?

[A]

A bicycle.

[B]

He drives a bike.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

He literally drives a bike. Okay, thank you, Abby. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[A]

The US Open is here. And on my podcast, Good Game with Sarah Spain. I'm breaking down the players from rising stars to legends chasing history. The predictions, well, we see a first time winner and the pressure. Billie Jean King says pressure is a privilege, you know, plus the stories and events off the court. And of course, the honey deuces, the signature cocktail of the U.S. open. The U.S. open has gotten to be a very fancy, wonderfully experiential sporting event. I mean, listen, the whole aim is to be accessible and inclusive for all tennis fans, whether you play tennis or not. Tennis is full of compelling stories of late. Have you heard about icon Venus Williams, recent wildcard bids? Or the young Canadian Victoria Mboko making a name for herself?

[B]

I don't write songs. God writes songs. I take dictation.

[C]

I didn't even know you've been a pastor for over 10 years.

[B]

I think culture is any space that you live in that develops you.

[C]

On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us podcast, I sat down with Warren Campbell, Grammy winning producer, pastor and music executive to talk about the beats, the business and the legacy behind some of the biggest names in gospel, R and B and hip hop.

[B]

This is like watching Michael Jackson talk about Thriller before it happens.

[C]

Was there a particular moment where you realized just how instrumental music culture was to shaping all of our global ecosystem?

[B]

I was 8 years old and the Motown 25 Special came on and all the great Motown artists, Marvin, Stevie Wonder.

[C]

Temptations, Diana Ross, from Mary Mary to Jennifer Hudson. We get into the soul of the music and the purpose that drives it. Listen to Culture Raises us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Lunchbox is mad at me. And up until this segment happened, I had no idea why he'd be mad at me and that what he's mad at me for even happened. So get a nice little seat, grab some popcorn. This will be very enjoyable for everybody.

[B]

But Lunchbox number one. Okay, Lunchbox is upset. He's actually jealous because Morgan made the news with her UFO video.

[A]

What?

[B]

I did? Oh, you don't know about it?

[A]

No.

[B]

You don't even know you made the news? No. It's a whole. It's awesome. It's Daily Mail. Daily Mail. I wanted to vomit all over my computer screen. You haven't seen it, Morgan?

[A]

No, I haven't seen it.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. Let me read you part of the story from Daily Mail. Visitors at Disney World's Epcot got an unexpected sight recently when a glowing orb appeared over the amusement park. Morgan Huelsman, director digital director for the Bobby Bones show, told the show that she and her boyfriend were sitting on a patio waiting for the fireworks when a very bright light suddenly appeared. After searching online and finding no information about drones or satellites in the area, Huelsman described the object as a ufo, adding, definitely a UFO with aliens. Look what is happening. It's on Daily Mail.

[C]

She made it.

[A]

That's my face.

[B]

How did that happen? That's what I'm saying. I was like, who submitted this? First of all. And then I also thought, this is it. You just need buzzwords ufo, and people care. It's like you just say, anything's a UFO and all of a sudden, news. I mean, I almost threw my computer into it. How did you find it? I just happened to be looking on the website. So you were on Daily Mail?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And I'm scrolling down, scrolling down, like, oh, what can we Talk about, what is that? And I was like, that's your worst nightmare. That somebody on the show get any sort of shine. Yes, my absolute worst nightmare come true. And I just.

[C]

Bleh.

[B]

And my wife goes, what's wrong? And I was like. Like, look at this crap. They even use, like, a Morgan headshot. Like a professional picture.

[A]

Yeah, that's my whole face that's in the.

[B]

No, if you scroll down on it, though, it's that picture of you holding a microphone. Like an address. Oh, it's a whole full body. Yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

That's pretty amazing.

[B]

Does Morgan have a PR company? Did she hire a PR firm to do this? That's what I'm starting to think is that she has someone that is sending her stuff out. Because I try to eat 70 hot dogs and no Daily Mail. Like, post anything on that. I don't know.

[A]

I don't. Guys, I don't have a PR person. I just post on social media.

[B]

I mean, Morgan, that's cool. No. Are you also jealous? I mean, a little bit?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Yes. Because none of us have ever made the news like that. I mean, we do all sorts of stuff. She sees a drone. It's not a drone. She said it was a drone. We're not convinced it's not a drone. I don't know. It's on Daily Mail. I was, like, talking about the most disgusting thing. I mean, just absolutely. Congratulations. And she didn't even know.

[A]

I didn't. I had no idea.

[B]

Congratulations. Of all the things I tried. Maybe she had a raise.

[C]

Stop.

[B]

I mean, that video's gotta make her some money, right? The video probably won't.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

No one cares. Obviously, people care. Obviously they do. They do. I was so wrong. Gosh. Never said that before. Yeah, I was so wrong. He screamed it only to Morgan. So annoying. Congratulations, Morgan.

[A]

This is so cool.

[B]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

[A]

The real ones are gonna know that I did not put that number one because of me. I put it because Lunchbox always wants to be in number one. And I felt like that was the perfect story for him to be number one. I'm getting out of here. Thanks for being here and listening to the show, catching up on all things Bobby Bones show.
