Morgan
Oh, my goodness gracious. We flying on a private jet to the islands.
Bob Pittman
To the islands?
Morgan
Yeah. Like, I want to go to, like, the British Virgin Islands. Caribbean.
Bob Pittman
Caribbean.
Morgan
Really big fan. I would be running. I'd be drinking.
Bob Pittman
Your perfect weekend includes running?
Morgan
Yes. I love it. Like, hiking, being active, being outside, that's fine.
Bob Pittman
But like, running and your perfect weekend? Yeah, my perfect weekend. I'm just, like, skinny and I can eat and do whatever I want, no problem. Like, don't make me exercise.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. That's, like, all I do. Like, when we were on vacation, I did, like, 10 miles a day, like, walking. I just love it. It's really hard for me to sit all day.
Bob Pittman
You are wild.
Morgan
And I just don't have that much time, like, to do that when I'm home. So when I'm on vacation, I'm like, get all miles in, climb all the mountains, do all the steps. Yeah, I want to stay at an all inclusive resort. I've never done that.
Bob Pittman
Oh, I'm surprised you haven't done that.
Morgan
I am too.
Bob Pittman
Okay.
Morgan
Yeah, I guess. Just I like to venture off. So, like, I feel like you kind of have to stay if you're going to pay all that. You want to take full advantage, so you just stay at the resort. So I haven't done that. Love to do that. Like the nicest one, because no money.
Bob Pittman
Anyone in the world. Nicest one.
Morgan
Yeah. And then go shopping at a mall, at a really expensive mall because I love shopping.
Bob Pittman
You love a shopping trip?
Morgan
Love it.
Bob Pittman
What's your favorite shopping area in Asheville?
Morgan
I like Green Hills Mall because a lot of the stores are really expensive, so I just kind of browse. I don't really buy stuff. It's just, I was like, I don't understand the connection here. It's just like, me looking like Macy's and Dillard's. Those are my favorites because they're like, more affordable. But I like looking a lot. And shoes. Shoes at Dillard's.
Bob Pittman
Shoes. Do you have a whole shoe collection?
Morgan
I'm like, I have so many shoes. So many. Okay, all right.
Bob Pittman
I like it. Does Lunchbox's comments hurt your feelings, Kendra?
Morgan
I know he's being, like, overly dramatic, but it's still. I'm like, wait, is he, like, serious? But he's acting like he's not being serious or, you know, so it kind of like, deep down, it does because people agree with him, like, online. Like, they're like, lunchbox is right. She sucks. Whatever. So, I mean, that for sure is.
Bob Pittman
Probably the worst part. Like, once, whenever he makes his comments, I'm like, you don't realize, but you just, like, give a voice to, you know, people that probably shouldn't in some ways. I know because it, like, because he is so overdramatic about things that it. It gives the space for just people to feel like, oh, well, I can do this. But the difference is Lunchbox is also our friend.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
Like, we know him. We know each other. It's like brother, sister, vibes. That's the difference in his voice versus a random stranger on the Internet who's like, lunchbox said it.
Morgan
I can say, like, no, you don't know me. You know, like, you don't know me outside of the show, but you're gonna, like, place judgment on me, you know, the way that they do online versus him. But also the way he says things. Like, instead of being like, oh, my God, you suck. You make my ears bleed. Like, how about you just maybe say it? Like, hey, you could maybe work on it, or are you taking those voice lessons still? Like, I feel like there's kind of nicer, like, more constructive, you know, ways.
Bob Pittman
To say, oh, yeah. But he's never been one to go beat around the bush. He's been wanting to go straight through with, like, a. What's one of those, like, machetes? Like, here we go. Here it is.
Morgan
But sometimes he's so ridiculous, it makes me laugh. Like, honestly, I'm just like, you are. It's kind of funny. Honestly, I'm like, wow, that was actually a good one. So I don't know.
Bob Pittman
He does love his backhanded compliments.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
Where he'll, like, say something. I'm like, I think you're trying to be nice, but also stop talking. Right.
Morgan
Yeah. It's not like I go to bed, like, sad of what he said. Let's just put it that way. I'm just like, okay, yeah, that's a.
Bob Pittman
Good way I would put it. It stings for a moment.
Morgan
A little sting.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. Okay. Is anyone running the marathon with her? Lisa in Illinois. We did mention this a little bit.
Morgan
On part one, but so my boyfriend is. And actually my mom is. So. Go mom. She's the best, but she kind of walks, jogs.
Bob Pittman
Is this her first one?
Morgan
No, she did it last year, too. She's done it before, but yeah, like I said, she just kind of does it like she. To raise money for St. Jude and then just for the hype. She loves to do all that. She's really active, so.
Bob Pittman
Oh, that's where you get it.
Morgan
Yes. Oh, my. Yeah, she has more energy than me. It's insane. She's like, who are you? And you're a lot older than me.
Bob Pittman
You are your mother's daughter.
Morgan
Yeah. Yeah.
Bob Pittman
There's no two ways around that, right? What is your favorite type of salad? I know she's a salad lover. I know she's a salad lover.
Morgan
Bria in Georgia, my favorite type of salad. Ooh, I like. I get Tzatziki's. It's like a Greek salad. I love that. Tzatziki's is a place, like a restaurant, but they have a really good, like, Greek salad that I love.
Bob Pittman
What's all on a Greek salad?
Morgan
So it's just like romaine, lettuce, tomatoes. What else is on it? Cheese. Like feta. Feta cheese, garbanzo beans.
Bob Pittman
Do you like the purple olives?
Morgan
No. No, I don't like olives. That's the weird part. So I say no olives and no onions.
Bob Pittman
The olives are part of a Greek salad.
Morgan
I know, I know they are. Oh, and I also. I get from chopped. Like, I make my own. Chopped is another salad place, but it just has all the ingredients you can get. I get spinach, kale, beets. Like a white vinaigrette. Like, I love more vinaigrette based dressings.
Bob Pittman
Have you ever had the Skinny Gal dressing?
Morgan
No. Oh, like poppy seed. There's like a she.
Bob Pittman
It's a bunch. There's a bunch of different ones. But one of my favorite raspberry vinaigrettes is Skinny Gal, and I think it's only like 10 calories.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. I should try that. Yeah. Because I always get, like, balsamic or. Oh. I also go to Chewy's and I get their salad. It's so good with honey mustard on it. Chewy's has a good salad. It's called the Mexico salad. And there's like grilled chicken, green chilies, cheese, and avocado. Delicious. This is.
Bob Pittman
See, now you're making me hungry. I made you hungry in part one.
Morgan
I know. You're. Yeah. You did goodness with the cinnamon rolls and the donuts. And then I'm like.
Bob Pittman
You're like, all my salads.
Morgan
Here's kale.
Bob Pittman
And I'm like, spinach, carbs, sugar, cheese.
Morgan
No, I love it. Those are the things that I really, like, wish I could eat. I just don't feel good.
Bob Pittman
Gluten allergy or sensitivity?
Morgan
I feel like it could be. But I've gotten everything tested. I've done everything under the sun, and they can't figure out what it is.
Bob Pittman
Really.
Morgan
Yeah, it's really frustrating. It's been like this for, like, six years. So now I just got like.
Bob Pittman
Do you think it's gut related?
Morgan
Yeah, it's bad.
Bob Pittman
Have you gone into that direction?
Morgan
Mm.
Bob Pittman
And still they can't find anything.
Morgan
Yeah, I had, like, an endoscopy and everything to see if I had ulcers or. And they. They were like, oh, you're normal. You look great. I'm like, but I feel terrible. Like, I feel. My stomach hurts all the time.
Bob Pittman
Okay. This is where you got to start going on, like, the integrative health route.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
Because they do all kinds of things that most typical standard modern medicine really doesn't. If you, like, can't find solutions there. I often find a lot of my chronic issues are more helped in those scenarios. Really. Like, if I've already X'd out all of the basic modern medicine things, that's the next route I typically go. I'm. I'm on that same, like, path right now. I'm about to have a full functional blood test done where we're finding out everything and including, like, autoimmune issues and stuff, because, oh, my gosh, I'm just not sure There's a lot of possibilities that could be happening to me, and that could very, very well be one of them. But I getting a, like, basis. And then I'm going to start going down the integrative health route and figuring out what I can do to start healing my body again. Especially post Covid, especially dealing with long Covid and just the stuff that's in our food. Because even, like, what's crazy is I talked to a really awesome person on my podcast. Her name was Cara Clark, and she's. She was, like, the big contributor to Fit52. Carrie Underwood's app has her own cookbook coming out. But she was talking to me about this. And she was just like, you know, you could eat salads all the time and you think you're eating healthy and this is the best thing for your body, when in reality it could be doing the most damage. Because just because it looks healthy, seems healthy, doesn't necessarily mean your body wants it.
Morgan
Right. Yeah.
Bob Pittman
And, like, you have to understand what your body needs. And it has to do with blood sugar. It has to do with all these different variables that a lot of places aren't checking and paying attention to because it is on the more holistic side.
Morgan
Woo. Woo.
Bob Pittman
However you want to do it. But it's becoming more of a thing in chronic issues because. And. And there. There's so many testimonials of people getting help and finally feeling better. So I feel like that would help you to go down that route.
Morgan
Because when I go to just like my normal doctor, I'm like, I explain my symptoms. And then she's like, oh, do you want me to call in this test? I'm like, I have no idea. Like, well.
Bob Pittman
And you're like, I don't.
Morgan
Anything and everything. Yeah. Yeah. Because they've all. They're all normal. I've taken all of the ones that you can through blood, like, blood work. She orders everything, and it all says normal. I'm like. And then nothing happens because you're just like, oh, you look fine.
Bob Pittman
Well. And they, like, separate you. Like, that's what's also crazy is, like, you think about your body. It's one whole thing. But you. They send you to multiple different doctors for different things, and they're trying to heal one specific thing. When your body as a whole is what's needing help.
Morgan
Everything leads. Yeah. You know, what effects.
Bob Pittman
It's all connected.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
But they treat one problem at a time, sending you to different places.
Morgan
So we're just such a waste of time and money. Like, I'm over it. That's why I was like, no, I'm done. They wanted me to do an X ray test.
Bob Pittman
Oh, no.
Morgan
Where I, like, chew on food. And they take an X ray every hour just to see how, like, my food is digesting or something. I'm like, no. But that's. It doesn't explain why it hurts. You know, like why I can't eat cinnamon rolls. You know, I think you should.
Bob Pittman
I think you should look into. It's functional or integrative, whichever you prefer. They're kind of similar. There's similarities in both. One's probably more gonna lean towards you for some reason or another. But I'd look at it. There's plenty of people out there that I think could help you.
Morgan
Yeah, just a help.
Bob Pittman
Because I bet. I bet there's a lot of people out there that are struggling with that. What do they say? Hot girls have stomach issues? I'm right there with you. Right there with you.
Morgan
So many issues.
Bob Pittman
Okay, I'm gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. Something unexpected happened after Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield in Bone Valley. I just knew him as a kid. Long, silent voices from his past came forward, and he was just staring at me. And they had secrets of their own to share. Gilbert King. I'm the son of Jeremy Lynn Scott. I was no longer just telling the story. I was part of it. Every time I hear about my dad, it's, oh, he's a killer.
Morgan
He's just straight evil.
Bob Pittman
I was becoming the bridge between a killer and the son he'd never known. If the cops and everything would have done their job properly, my dad would have been in jail. I would have never existed. I never expected to find myself in this place. Now I need to tell you how I got here.
Morgan
At the end of the day, I'm.
Bob Pittman
Literally a son of a killer. Bone Valley Season 2 Jeremy. Jeremy, I want to tell you something. Listen to new episodes of bone Valley Season 2 starting April 9 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Oh. Who would it be? Well, you and a guy. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob Pittman
I feel like you'd be the only one. I think I feel super comfortable to go on a double date with. Yeah.
Morgan
Because you know, Eddie won't. I asked him on vacation one time. Yeah, that'd be fun with you. It'd be super fun. Or Ray. I would do Ray and bae, too. I was gonna say super fun.
Bob Pittman
It would be between you and Ray.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
And I also love Scuba and his wife because they go out and do stuff too.
Morgan
Yeah, they do. They're so fun. Yeah.
Bob Pittman
I was gonna say his wife. I love her. Her and I bonded over desserts at the dessert table one time, and now we're. We love each other, but. Yeah, you guys in the glass room, I think are the ones I would.
Morgan
Oh, yeah. We're the fun. We're the fun group.
Bob Pittman
We all have. We all have Similarities in what we like to go do.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
And hang out and. And vibe. Party, drink.
Morgan
We probably have to go out to the country for rain Bay.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. But sometimes they come to Broadway.
Morgan
They do venture. Yes, they do. They do now.
Bob Pittman
And we. Did you and I did kind of have a double date for a wedding with. When I was dating a man in uniform.
Morgan
Yeah, we did. And that was fun.
Bob Pittman
We had a lot.
Morgan
And then we said we were gonna.
Bob Pittman
Do it again, and then I became single.
Morgan
I didn't mean it that way, but.
Bob Pittman
We can laugh about it now. We're in great phase now, but now we need that updated, so let's do it.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
Double date.
Morgan
Yep.
Bob Pittman
With new mans.
Morgan
Yes.
Bob Pittman
You know, hopefully soon.
Morgan
Fingers crossed.
Bob Pittman
Hopefully. Goodness gracious. Do you ever want to be on the big show more Lisa in California?
Morgan
I think it's fun. Yeah. If I, like, can relate to a topic, I think it's fun to say. And sometimes, like, I'm in the room, like, oh, I would say this, you know, if he came to me, but I'm good where I am.
Bob Pittman
Are you busy over there in the corner on the phone?
Morgan
Really busy. There's a lot going on. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of multitasking during the show because it's like, people will be sending me stuff to print, you know, and then I'm, like, trying to listen to Ray and Scuba while I'm answering phones. And it's a lot, you know, during a live show.
Bob Pittman
So all the pieces have to flow perfectly together.
Morgan
Yeah. I think that's why my brain. I'm always, like, tired when I leave, you know? Cause you're just trying to listen and you too. We're all multitasking. We're trying to listen to the show and typing things. So.
Bob Pittman
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah. I think it's fun when I get to be on there. It's cool.
Bob Pittman
Abby is such a genuine human. How does she stay so positive and happy? Sierra?
Morgan
Oh, God, that's such a good question.
Bob Pittman
You're like, I don't know. How do I. Yeah, how do I.
Morgan
Sometimes, I don't know. I think it's just in my personality. I think it's, like, genetic. That's how my mom is and, like, my grandma was and my grandpa, like, we don't let things get us down. Or, you know, if I am feeling sad, like, I just wait till I'm at work and then I. Or I'm out. I leave work and I'm home in my car or in my car and I cry. So I just wait till I. It took Us a lot to get to your. Hello. There's the two hours of sleep last night.
Bob Pittman
There it is. It's popping up.
Morgan
I meant I'm like, good at, you.
Bob Pittman
Know, kind of having a show and having a face until.
Morgan
Yes. Living in the moment. And then when I get home, that's when I can break down. So. I'm just kidding. No, I try to just like. I try to have just a natural, like, spunk for life. Like if you just go through life just being like a negative Nancy and just always.
Bob Pittman
We do not, like, bummed out.
Morgan
Yeah. You're just gonna start. That's gonna start being a part of, like, who you are and how you think about everything. So you just gotta think of like the glass half full.
Bob Pittman
This is true. Glass half full, man. It's. It's also. I think it's a Kansas straight too. Generally pretty happy people.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
I've never met, like, a truly horrible person from Kansas.
Morgan
I haven't either, except for the guys I dated. Just kidding. No, but every time I go home, people are so nice. They are always. And I'm like, Midwest people are so nice. And like in Wisconsin when I went there, like, they're so nice.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. Midwest, man. That Midwest attitude, that's very, very much a thing.
Morgan
Yeah. Just more like a slower paced, I think than like in like, I went up to Boston.
Bob Pittman
Slower paced or pace paced?
Morgan
Slower paced. So they're slower paced.
Bob Pittman
It's slower pace.
Morgan
They are slower paced.
Bob Pittman
No, like P. Oh, you're.
Morgan
You're like the.
Bob Pittman
It sounded like you're saying like toothpaste.
Morgan
Oh, no, no, no, no. And I was like, like ending with a D. Like pace.
Bob Pittman
Got it now. I got it now. It did not sound like a D.
Morgan
It sounded like a T. It's always. You mean like P A S, T.
Bob Pittman
E. I literally thought you were saying slow, slower pace. Like toothpaste. And I was like, they have a.
Morgan
Much slower pace when they have not.
Bob Pittman
Gotten a lot of sleep.
Morgan
Okay, just let us be. Oh, my God.
Bob Pittman
You know what you're saying, but it was not comprehending in my brain.
Morgan
You're like, that's not what it is. It's pace.
Bob Pittman
And I'm also not one to talk because I mess up words all the time.
Morgan
So, like, are we going to call me out?
Bob Pittman
No, I'm. I'm never. But I was trying to make sure my brain.
Morgan
You know when you haven't had a.
Bob Pittman
Lot of sleep and you look at somebody and you're just like seeing 8 million heads and hearing a bunch of different voices. And you're like, yeah. What was.
Morgan
So many in my head right now. Just kidding. We're struggling.
Bob Pittman
Okay, last question. Favorite, latest, Amazon purchase. Purchase anything from Amazon that you love.
Morgan
Oh, you might not like this because you are, like, a big animal and living thing lover, but.
Bob Pittman
So you buy a dead animal online?
Morgan
No, no. The. There's a lot of carpenter bees.
Bob Pittman
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
In the backyard. And they are just crazy. They're everywhere and just constantly flying, buzzing around. So I got, like, this little wooden house that's kind of like a trap for them. They go in, and then they. They can't, like, fly back out because it's a hole that they climb up and then they go down into, like, a little jar.
Bob Pittman
Yeah.
Morgan
I can't get out, which I feel I don't like doing that. I don't like killing things, but.
Bob Pittman
No, I'm with you. I. I actually, unfortunately had a problem with carpenter bees when I first moved into my house.
Morgan
Really?
Bob Pittman
Yeah. And I learned very quickly that if you don't take care of them, they get very aggressive.
Morgan
Oh, yeah.
Bob Pittman
And very territorial. And so I had to. And I was, like, crying for both reasons. Like, one, I didn't want to kill him. And two, because I was, like, this beast terrorizing my life. And Remy, every time she goes outside because they have kind of, like a queen bee. And I've learned about carpenter bees if you don't constantly. Like, I have to treat my house from every year because carpenter bees have, like, a. They come back to the same place every year. Every year.
Morgan
Oh, wow.
Bob Pittman
They know where it is. So even if, like, the house before mine that was there used to have carpenter bees, it's still the location that they know. What. So even my house, when I got it, was brand new. It still had the problem because of whatever was there before had a carpenter bead problem.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. I didn't know they were that smart.
Bob Pittman
Incredibly smart.
Morgan
That's crazy.
Bob Pittman
So. And they still will linger sometimes even though, like, I treat my house once a year because of this, because they will come back, even still, when spring starts to happen. A few of them will come and rotate, but they don't create the holes and stuff because the house is treated. But they'll come hang out kind of in my garden, and if I'm doing anything out there, they just literally terrorize me.
Morgan
So annoying. They do. They just hang there. Did you notice that? They just kind of hang in one spot and, like, you, like, make eye contact with them?
Bob Pittman
Yep.
Morgan
Like, are we battling off, like, what is going on.
Bob Pittman
No, really? And they're, like, the size of an eyeball.
Morgan
Yeah. And their legs are dangling, like they're going back and forth. And you're. They're just like, literally.
Bob Pittman
The movie. Have you seen the B movie?
Morgan
Yeah.
Bob Pittman
I don't know if I just made a reference.
Morgan
Yes, it is.
Bob Pittman
It is.
Morgan
But, like, I'm just. They're annoying. Like, go somewhere else.
Bob Pittman
But that's why. It's because they're, like, territorial. Because to them, that is their place.
Morgan
No, it's my place.
Bob Pittman
I know. I know. So I get it. I totally. I totally understand.
Morgan
But you really cool the little house.
Bob Pittman
Is it working?
Morgan
I haven't tried it yet. I literally just got it. We got to hang it, put it up.
Bob Pittman
Let me know if it works. If it doesn't, I'll send you my guys who come and treat, because it's the only thing that's kept them away, unfortunately.
Morgan
Yeah. I need something. I don't know.
Bob Pittman
I know, I know. I did have a little raccoon visitor recently that was really exciting.
Morgan
Those are cute.
Bob Pittman
I love those. I also love possums. Hang out in my yard all you want.
Morgan
You love possums.
Bob Pittman
Yeah, they're so cute.
Morgan
Kiss at you.
Bob Pittman
Yeah. Just because they're scared.
Morgan
They do eat ticks. That's good.
Bob Pittman
No, they're great little critters, but, yeah, they. They do his. Because they're scared. They think you're gonna hurt them because most of the time, humans do hurt them.
Morgan
My favorite is chipmunks.
Bob Pittman
I love those, too.
Morgan
I have one in my backyard. Oh, so cute.
Bob Pittman
I love them. I'm like, all the animals you can gather. I've had groundhogs. I've had armadillos.
Morgan
Those are kind of ugly.
Bob Pittman
I'm the safe space.
Morgan
I'm so judgmental on these animals.
Bob Pittman
I'm like, I only like.
Morgan
They're cute.
Bob Pittman
I do think armadillos have leprosy, though. So I don't touch those. I don't touch any of these. I just let them exist.
Morgan
I'm like, you just see a hedgehog.
Bob Pittman
Okay, a hedgehog I would save. Those are domesticated. And if you see a hedgehog in the wild in the United States, it is not supposed to be there. To my understanding. I think they are native to other places. But like here, if you see a hedgehog in the wild, somebody abandoned it.
Morgan
Oh, yeah.
Bob Pittman
And that's different than a porcupine or an armadillo. Hedgehog is a baby. It fits in your hands.
Morgan
I've seen them like, Laying on their back and they're like, ah, biggies. Yes.
Bob Pittman
