It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part two.

[Mel Reed]

Just the Bits.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Welcome to the weekend everybody. I hope you have gotten to enjoy hopefully some nice weather. I know after the cold snap everybody was ready to get some sunshine and I think most places in the country have had some. If not, I hope the sunshine is coming to you soon. Thank you for joining me this weekend. I'm Morgan. This is the Best Bits Part 2. We catch up on the Bobby Bones Show. I share the seven top segments from the show this week on Part one and Part Three can catch. Mike D. And I, catching up. Part one, he shared a huge update in his braces that he's had for a while. And I also shared a quite mental breakdown that I had recently just with adult life. And part three, we answered all kinds of listener questions, so check both of those out. But until you do, it's time to catch up on the show. So let's do this. There's a listener out there that seems to think Amy is the devil or she's encouraging demonic activity because she wanted the show to participate in writing our feelings down and releasing them when the blood moon happens. So you can hear the DM that she received and kind of just, you know, the craziness of this whole thing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Number seven, Amy's the devil. Do you guys know that?

[Alec Baldwin]

No.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Amy's the devil. Oh, no, I didn't notice it, but a listener did.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they did.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Where did you get this message?

[Bobby Bones]

He sent me a dm. Okay, go ahead and read it on Instagram. And he said, you know, the burning of paper like that during a blood moon is demonic as all crap. And you're spreading demonic rituals to everyone? Wtf. I thought you were Christian. I guess I could be wrong. Sorry if I'm wrong.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So let's back up a second. What's he talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so when you told me about the blood moon, I thought, oh, I think that there's some rituals along the way.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Rituals is not the word I know.

[Bobby Bones]

But he used the word rituals, so.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We didn't say rituals.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think I said, I think there's some activities we could do during the blood moon where we release things and it's just a good night to do it. And we may need to burn it or throw it in some water or something like that. It's just a fun thing we could do together. I'm not doing anything demonic or satanic. I'm just having fun.

[Mel Reed]

Let me simplify this.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Let me simplify what happened. I didn't know what the blood moon was. Amy's like, it's red. Yeah, but she used that as a conduit to get us all to hang out. It wasn't even about a blood moon. Yeah, she was like, I'd like to hang out. I need some friends to come over to the house or something. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I wanted to host us together at the house house. Doing something outside of work together, that is a bonding experience. And we can all take something in our lives that we need to surrender, release, and get rid of.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And at first, it wasn't about the blood moon. She's been pitching ideas, and I was like, blood moon? It feels weird. Astrology weirdos probably think this actually means something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And then Amy's like, well, we could do. That's fun. Is you write something down and then you throw it in water, and it's like. It's an activity to let that thing release whatever Hooba Jubu's happening.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's. It's an experiential thing. Like, you can, in your mind, release something, but when you write it down on paper and burn it and then drop it in water like there, it's just experiential.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

He brings up a great point. That's why I'm not doing it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Me too, Amy. I'm out.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I live by the good book. And you know what?

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He probably also doesn't take his kids.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Trick or treating or read Harry Potter or. If you're offended by this. If you think this dumb little activity you could do at a work office that doesn't have to do with a blood moon as a get to know you game where you just, like, write something down. You want to get better at work and throw it. Dude, you're out of your mind. I actually. I'm banning you for listening to the show for two weeks. How do you.

[Dan Aykroyd]

How do you enforce it?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I don't, but he did say, maybe the big man upstairs will. He'll cut his feet.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry if I'm wrong. He goes, I guess. I guess I could be wrong. I thought you were a Christian. Sorry if I'm wrong.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What he's doing there is setting you up to go, sorry if I'm wrong. I thought you were Christian. Unfair. He's not saying sorry, he's wrong. He's saying, I'm going to compare you to what I thought you were by taking a shot at you. That's completely unfair. Wait till he hears about the other stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

What other stuff?

[Alec Baldwin]

What other stuff? During the reading.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

A dragon book.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Oh, that's demonic.

[Bobby Bones]

Fourth wing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Listen, whoever you are, you're out of your mind. She might be demonic, yes, but not because of this. Is she a Christian? Yes, yes, yes. Very much so. Yes. So you are a moron person.

[Alec Baldwin]

Well, I think he's just against it during the blood moon. I think he can do it any other day of the week. But he said blood moon makes you a demon.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's the ritual.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I don't think you ever said ritual, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if I also don't.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Think you're the devil.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Dan Aykroyd]

But we're not doing this, though, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, we are.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'm using this as a reason not to do it because I don't want. I don't want to go to hell, and I don't want this to be put on that side of the chart when it's like. Okay. Welcome to the Pearly Gates. Next up, number two, Bobby. Coming up. Oh, wow. This is good. This is good. You did this to help. Blood moon.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Burn paper.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Burn paper.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so if you're canceling this activity, what are we replacing it with?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Something more wholesome.

[Alec Baldwin]

We'll.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We'll do praise and worship ourselves at our own houses.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's not together. You're missing the whole point.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Get over yourself, dude. You're banned from two weeks to listen to the show. What's his name? First name.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I have to pull up my DMs. I just copied, and you block him. I didn't. I left it in the. I didn't even move it over to the. Where he could see that I read it, because I was like, oh. And also, I don't want to judge him. Like, nothing. I don't. I don't have any ill feelings towards him, Bobby. I don't need anybody to retaliate.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

She is in constant fear of retaliation. Okay. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

[Mel Reed]

The first interview I've done in bed.

[Morgan]

We sift through innumerable accounts.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

35 pages isn't very much.

[Morgan]

Many of them conflicting.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

That's nonsense. There were 60 pages.

[Morgan]

And try to get to the truth of what really happened.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And they said, we're finished. This is over. It only is not gonna work. Try to get rid of those guys.

[Morgan]

[Ashlyn Harris]

Kip Moore stopped by the show. We haven't talked to him in years. He's been out living his life, traveling the world. He's been spending a lot of time in Hawaii and down in Africa and he also has a new album out. So he came in, talked about all the things. If you want to watch the interview, you can check that out on our YouTube page.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Obby Boneshow number six. There is Kip Moore everybody, back in studio. Good to see you buddy. You look lean and mean.

[Mel Reed]

Just got done surfing for two straight months, so I guess maybe that's it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Do you live in Hawaii?

[Mel Reed]

No, I don't live there. I go there though for at least like a month every winter.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So what do you do for a whole month? Like talk me through a day in Hawaii because. No idea.

[Mel Reed]

You know, normally I'm up before the sun comes up. I used to always ride my bicycle into downtown Lahaina, but that's no longer with us at the moment.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Because the fires.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah, because of fires and it's. But it kind of gave me a little hope this time. I mean when I was there last year it was totally like an apocalyptic scene. It was pretty gnarly. This year you're starting to see frames go up and hopefully that's followed by, you know, business and stuff. But it still was my routine where I take a bite right early morning and I would check the whole south shore coast to see if anything was close by happening, breaking. And then if nothing's happening, I go to Honolulua Bay. Usually I get. I got a truck that I rent out there from a buddy and yeah, so it's like a 20 minute drive and then I'll surf for four or five hours and then I go to our roots. I get a little coffee and a little lunch and then I go back out and surf a little longer. And then if somebody's are doing something on the other side of the North Shore, I might mountain bike. Late in the evening we'll go up to Haleakwal and go all the way down and we'll do like a campfire up on Poly Poly and call it a day.

[Bobby Bones]

You do that every day for a month?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's a different language.

[Mel Reed]

I mean, yeah, I wouldn't say every single day, but. But the majority of that, at least pieces of that I'm doing every single day.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And when you surf that long, it's got to be something more than just the physical part of it. I never surfed. So, like, why do you love surfing?

[Mel Reed]

You know, Bobby, it's. Think about it like this. I love to snowboard. I love it like, I really do. I love playing music. I love it like truly for the purity of it. But either one of those scenarios, but we'll say realistically, like if you said, oh man, where are you going to snowboarding this year? And I said, you know, Park City. He said, oh man, you're going to have a blast. But just be careful because every winter over there, there's a big monster that comes out of the mountain and kills like two people on the way down. I would never snowboard again. That be it. You never see me on the mountain. Surfing is the only thing I feel like once we get past the age of like, you know, 11, 12, 13, we have happiness and we have joyful moments in life. I'm not saying that, but to tap into that childlike spirit of 9, 10, 11 years old is impossible. It's the only thing that does it. So we know when I catch a really good wave, this throttling, and I'm on top of like a one foot reef where there's that also that danger element of, oh man, you know, I could die. It's two feet overhead and you see people coming out bloody all the time when you catch that and you're in it and you feel that euphoric thing that's happened in that moment and it's, you know, the waves are like carved in these celestial workshops and it's, you know, you get out the backside and the sun's setting and everything, you feel like you're a little kid. And so I'll. You kind of risk that for anything.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Are you able to separate yourself from the world and the tasks or troubles of the world? Because you have to focus on just that. Is that a part of it?

[Mel Reed]

You just said it. It's the only thing I feel trapped a little bit, in a maniacal state that I stay in a lot. You know, I can't ever seem to turn that thing off. And that's the only time that it happens. That's the only thing that I'm doing where everything just kind of goes away. And it's not just like, you know, music and stuff that I'm hearing, you know, all the time in my head, but it's. I, I Feel everything big and small, like, really deeply. So, you know, I can even remember when we played South Africa last year, I had a moment. I've been doing some things that are underground over there, and I had a moment where I met this kid. And I've never had a kid make that kind of impact on me. And I carried it with me for. I mean, it was just constantly in there, you know, for. For months. It felt like it's the only time that when I'm out there and you're in that. That everything goes away. The music, all the things that come with it, the madness, whatever heartache you're experiencing, whatever it is, it all goes away. And it kind of has to, because you have to be dialed in. If it's really pumping, you cannot think about anything else.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Who was the kid?

[Mel Reed]

It was. So I've been going to these shanty towns in different spots of Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and there's a woman that's been running a soup kitchen there for years. I'd heard about her and I wanted to meet her. And they said, well, you can't go into this area because it's just way too dangerous. So I said, well, go. We're going today, because this is my only day off. And they were. You know, it was like this back and forth, and the government got involved, like, you can't go. We can't go in there, yada, yada. So we ended up going. We weren't supposed to, but I talked to a couple of my security guards to take me there. And I met her. I wanted to meet her in person because I wanted to get involved with her. So then that went to this other thing where she was talking about these safe houses she was wanting to build. So that's when I started meeting these individual kids. So this kid was Michael, who lived in this. I mean, this space that was. I mean, easily just as big as this square right here with about six other kids, six of his brothers, one sister. Never met a more gregarious kid in my life. Yeah, just it. So now we're just trying to. We're not trying to. It's actually happening right now. So now we're working on. The safe houses are going up now in that area.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Did that remind you that you're not always just a product of your environment? Meaning this kid has, from what we have, a pretty rough life. But if he had such a positive attitude, like you're explaining how he is, like people were drawn to him.

[Mel Reed]

He was unreal. He was unreal.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Does that continue to give you new perspective when you see somebody living a life like that, but doesn't act like you think someone should actually live a.

[Mel Reed]

Life like that 1000%. There's so many elements to this. And when we could sit here and we could talk for two days on this, because I got so many opinions on this, but, you know, you can't help but look around and what. What is happening within that particular area to the opportunity just is not there. So that light will most likely start dimming. But that's, you know, the special thing about kids before we kind of ruin them in a sense, you know, and. But his environment is nothing but gangs affiliated around him. You feel the tension unlike anything I've ever been in inside that. So you know that there is. I'm really big on this. I'm really big on. If you can be in a really dire poverty situation, money speaking, but if you have a solid foundation of parental structure, you can get past those things. But without that and in that situation, yeah, it's a. It's a. It's pretty dire.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Where do you live?

[Mel Reed]

What state I live? I mean, I live here in.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You're mail. Where's your mail? Come.

[Mel Reed]

I live. I live in Nashville. Yeah. Yeah, I still live in Nashville.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So your bills come here. Yeah, got it.

[Mel Reed]

I still. I still live in Nashville.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You're all over Hawaii, South Africa. Like, when it's time to check the cell phone bill, like, where did they send?

[Mel Reed]

Well, yeah, yeah. I mean, that goes over there on Charlotte, but yeah. Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So what. What about time to actually be creative? When do you get that? Because you have the new record out. But like, when do you write this stuff?

[Mel Reed]

I mean, it was. It was every single day, Bobby. It was truly a relentless pursuit. Every. Every time I got home last year, I was in this. I was either writing with my friends or I would start most of the songs. I'd get halfway done at this, you know, little place I got on the east coast and that's where I would go and I would ride it. And then I would get guys out there, but I would hold up tracking. I mean, it was non stop recording every time I had days off. And I mean, I did. I don't know, I guess I did 100 shows last year. So it was every time I was home, I mean, I was. I was working on it every time I was back in Nashville.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You're working on it, but when were you riding it?

[Mel Reed]

Yeah, I mean, like I wake up every single morning, it's the first thing I do. And that might end up being, you know, on the road. And, you know, I get off the bus and I have a little. Whole little process that I do, but I'm jotting out the lyrics that I've got, what that I wake up with, and I'm singing the melodic parts, the countermelodies into my phone because I'm always got that there. So then I see what I have. If it's something that moves me, I might be three, four hours into it before soundcheck, or it might just jot down a little bit for 30 minutes. I come back to it after soundcheck, then it's another hour, and then I come back to it after the gym, and it's another hour. It all depends. It all varies. And then late night, I've gotten to where that's kind of when Late night, super early morning is when I feel the sharpest.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Ray, can we play a few field songs here?

[Ashlyn Harris]

Yep.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Let's do Bad Spot. Can you give me some Bad Spot? This is Kip Morin Studio. You feel sad there, man. What was that? What's happening with you?

[Mel Reed]

This record was. Was very much a. An unpacking of the closet. It was, you know, I think that, you know, even with you guys, I mean, it's. You come in here and you hustle every day and. Or you're on the road a whole lot, and you have this ability to start compartmentalizing. You compartmentalize all these things in your life, and you shove them down and you bury them. And a lot of times, because you don't want to face it, and you don't want to look at yourself like, you know, you don't want to look at yourself and actually see what it is, you know, what you've done or what somebody's done to you. And so this record was a very cathartic process of that. And I didn't know it was happening because I write, like I said, I truly write every single morning. So I'm not always in a record cycle, but I wrote High Hopes Live Inside, which is one of my favorites on the record. And Solitary tracks in, like, a week span. And then it's like, oh, I'm writing a record right now. I'm saying something. I've got something to say. And I felt it, you know, I felt these things that are buried. And I think it's just an unpacking of that closet, looking in all the junk and saying you're sorry. Some people you can't reach out to and say you're sorry to saying Your sorrys in your heart for those people. Trying to pray for forgiveness for that, and then trying to receive the grace of that for yourself and letting go of the things that people hurt you on. And I think that's what this whole record is.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

There's one I'd like you to comment on that. I like the Flowers in December. Could you play that, Ray? Make that a little more personal for me?

[Mel Reed]

You know, that was actually me thinking about my dad. It wasn't so much of a. Of a. It is a love song in a way, in that sense, but it was. He'll creep into my mind at the strangest places. But then thinking about him had me also thinking about it. That's like a chain event that happens. And then I'm thinking about something a long time ago that went awry and our lives went separate ways. And I happened to be looking at a flower at that time, that it wilted. And that's how the whole kind of concept came there.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's a lot of tracks, 23 tracks. Solitary tracks is out. But 23 songs, does that mean you wrote a whole bunch more and you cut it down to 23?

[Mel Reed]

It was just going to be the 13 from side A and B. And that's all it was going to be. Because that side A and B is a thing. It's a very specific thing. The sounds, the sonic nature of it is all one thing. And then when I finished it, the label said, well, you actually. You got four months until we have to turn this in if it's going to come out February 28, because that was always the set date. And so I just kept writing. And then C and D is more of just an eclectic mix of. I was in a whole different space because once I wrote that, I was done mentally with that in the way I felt. And so everything started to change. And then I had Love and War, which is just a straightforward rock and roll song, and Alley Cat. And it was a different kind of levity to the music. And it's. But it's definitely kind of a hodgepodge mix on the next side. So I just decided, what the heck, you know, I couldn't have done this in the situation that I was in. Let's just give my whole pile of songs, you know, they hadn't had a record in a minute. So with.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

As much as you travel, do you do a lot of stuff alone a lot? Like go to restaurant, go to movie a lot?

[Mel Reed]

Yeah, and I've always kind of done that, though. I mean, at 16, I was doing that, you know, I was making up an excuse with everybody, you know, And I love. I love companionship. I love hanging out with good people and. But I can just remember kind of being aware when my dad kind of probed me, like, why didn't you go with Jason and Matthew when they were. Came by the house and. But then you left at 9:00. You know, he didn't. Couldn't quite wrap his head around that. But I would go see the movie by myself instead of going with everybody else.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Why is that?

[Mel Reed]

I don't know. And at times, I love. Like I said, I love the companionship, but I love sitting. I love sitting in the coffee shop by myself, jotting out thoughts. I love to read.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a solitude thing. Yeah, it's like there's a difference between, like, being lonely and. And finding solitude.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah, it's gonna be a monk. It's.

[Mel Reed]

It's definitely not a. Like a lonely.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Next interview, he announced he's gonna be a mom. Yeah. Yeah.

[Mel Reed]

But see, like, you say, like, I'm. There's a part of that. Like, I've even looked into going to those temples and doing the thing where you don't speak for a month. I'm. There's a. There's a. There's a romantic nature to that. And I just think there's certain things that you can't find out about yourself when you're constantly surrounded by people. Like, I'm. And I feel like being uncomfortable is the best way to learn who you are. I really feel that way. So it's not that I'm just trying to stay away from people a lot, but it's like, even when I go on these surfing trips, you know, I'll go get a dirt bike in El Salvador and then make my way down in Nicaragua or whatever and maybe keep going. And I love it. I love the. I got back this morning and yesterday morning, and I quickly. It's like, man. And I'm not. By no means am I bashing Nashville in any sense, but I get here and the madness right away, you know, you're in that traffic and it's just chaos and everybody's honking, Everybody seems on edge. And you go to the gym now, and everything just feels so different than even what it was 10 years ago in this town. And it seems like everyone's insular. Super, super insular. It's a very. You don't feel warmth in these places. And so I think, too, I love so much being by myself. I can't tell you how many experiences I've had in the last two months where I pulled up on a dirt bike to a surf spot and I'm just sitting there and I got a cup of coffee in my hands and I'm just kind of hanging out. And the next thing you know, there's somebody else that comes up right here. And next thing you know, there's somebody else here. And before you know it, because there's no waves, we've had a three hour conversation about everything under the sun, and the next thing you know, we're all grabbing dinner the next night. I make friendships, real friendship. So much in the gym that I go to the block Maui, which is just my favorite gym in the world that you walk in and there is such a warmth in that place. And everybody's. It's a genuine nature of. They're excited to see and it's everybody in there and they're all hanging out, they're talking and they're still getting their workout in and then they all go hanging. I have made more friends in these places that I'm in for just a brief amount of time than the gym that I go to every day in Nashville. I can't think of anybody that I really even hung out with. I've been working out there for eight, nine years. It's just a different thing of everyone's guard is down, there's no inhibitions. Nobody's trying to be cool, nobody's trying to put on some front. They're not looking around over the shoulder and who else is in the room? And well, I gotta go. I got a thing. And I got. It's none of that, it's none of this like surface thing. You're. You're in like these deep conversations so fast in these places. And then the next thing you know, I'm in a living room, as happened in Mexico recently, and I'm meet this guy, I could barely speak English and we're looking at the waves. We end up surfing all day together. And he's like telling me, and I can kind of understand Spanish pretty good now. And he's invited me back to his house. You know, I'm in a house with nine people having tacos where no one can speak English. And I'm in their living room in this tiny little house. And like, I'm like brothers with that guy now. And so every time I go back, you know, there's, you know, there's. It's awesome. There's no social, like, you know, it's like people here around Here, want to hang out with the people here. It's a weird thing, and it's. You've got doctors hanging out with fishermen, hanging out with plumbers, hanging out with guy that runs a gym and nobody cares. And when I'm traveling by myself, I open myself up to all those things because I'm just kind of drifting and letting it all kind of happen. Happen.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Obviously, you're playing a bunch of shows and you and Billy are doing some shows. What song in the first few notes do people hear and freak out of of yours?

[Mel Reed]

That was us.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Just. Yeah.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah. Right away. That was us. The Bull. I would say the Bull's probably the biggest song that I have, which, you know, was never on the radio, and it's probably the biggest. Yeah. Easily wherever I go around the world, that. When. The minute. You know, that one. And that was us and Crazy More Time. Those are probably the three that garnered the biggest reaction.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Are you going to learn all these songs? All 23.

[Mel Reed]

Oh, gosh, Bobby. You know, last night I got home and I'll be honest. This the first time that I've, like, really checked out, like, Truly. I was writing, but normally when I go, I'll start kind of thinking about the next year and working on the new stuff that I've written. And I just started looking at it last night and trying to relearn, because a lot of times, too, you record them a certain way, and then when you play them live or you're playing them acoustic, you got to rearrange them a certain way. So I've spent no time. So I gotta. I gotta get on that pretty quick.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You look jacked. I'm gonna be honest with you.

[Mel Reed]

I don't. I mean, what do you bench? No clue. I've never maxed in my. No clue.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No idea. He looks pretty jacked.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Pretty jacked.

[Mel Reed]

Probably like, we're ready to ball two.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

285. You do 285 one time.

[Mel Reed]

Truly, no clue. Truly, no clue.

[Bobby Bones]

But, like, when you're working out, you don't.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Adults really don't Max, though. I mean, I did just because I wanted to, like, see what I could do. And, like, he's like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Y'all know they. These guys know what they're.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah, I'm an idiot. So I Max, like, because I want to relive my junior high school football days, so I didn't know.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah. You know, I like. I know what. I know what kind of weights I work out with when I'm doing sets and stuff, but I've Never maxed. I may. I did in high school maybe, but I don't remember maxing out.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You ever do, like, rocks when you're in the country and there's no weight? You're, like, just lifting boulders. So I picture you doing.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Like, two hand curls with boulders.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah. In El Salvador, that's all you could do. So I didn't want to stop, like, training, so, I mean, I was surfing a lot, but, like, you know, you got. You'd find big rocks and do. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you on life360 or anything like that? I feel like somebody in your life needs to know where you are at all times. Like, I'm kind of worried.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. Nicaragua. I've been. It don't feel safe. No.

[Bobby Bones]

But, like. Like, are you able to be loc if need be?

[Mel Reed]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

You're, like, off the grid, so, like.

[Mel Reed]

No. I mean, I don't. I don't even have a computer.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

But you have a phone.

[Mel Reed]

I got a phone. Like a. Yeah, I got an old iPhone, like, I think in 2013. Still running.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay, well, we're not worried for you. Cause you got it all figured out, but.

[Mel Reed]

Oh, I don't have it figured out. I'm the last person that's got it figured out.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And that's what allows us to say, you have it figured out. Because if you thought you had it figured out, you wouldn't. It's those that don't have it figured out are the ones that have it figured out that you never actually figured out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm kind of jealous of.

[Mel Reed]

We all quit.

[Bobby Bones]

How you get to live.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We're all out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

But I also am worried.

[Dan Aykroyd]

What's cool is we've wondered where you've been.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Dan Aykroyd]

And now we know he's been on.

[Bobby Bones]

A bike in Nicaragua.

[Mel Reed]

I don't. Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's good to see you, buddy.

[Mel Reed]

It's good to see you guys.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What people may not know about Kip is that Kip is still. Is a plus athlete. Not even at, like, the rock climbing and the surfing, but, like, was, like, in it and still maybe an elite golfer. I don't know if you get to play enough golf. But, like, Kip's, like, a true artist slash athlete. He's the reason my cup isn't full in those areas. Like, God gave him so much. He didn't have any left for a guy like me, which. It's like, oh, he gave it all to Kip.

[Mel Reed]

He gave you plenty, Bobby.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I don't know. We do have a challenge that we've been doing here? It has to do with a bit of hand, eye coordination. Do you still feel like yours is pretty good?

[Mel Reed]

Decent.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay, we've had a couple people give it a run. We had. The current leader is Dirk Spentley. Matt Carney is right under him. We're going to put the scoreboard up behind you now. You can walk away from the challenge. It doesn't matter. But you ever play bop it before?

[Mel Reed]

No.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay. It's a very easy game. You hit the button, you bop it, you twist it and you pull it and it tells you what to do. All you have to do is listen. You take a practice run. You want to take a run?

[Mel Reed]

Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. I heard one of you guys talking about you're spear fishing on the way in here. Before I leave after. When this is over, whatever. I have the most insane story I've ever heard.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Why don't you tell on the mic?

[Dan Aykroyd]

I want to hear it.

[Mel Reed]

I'll give you the really quick version. Dear friend of mine. I'll be Lair, who's probably the the best big wave rider in the world. The most radical human being you ever meet.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Surfer. Big wave rider means surfer.

[Mel Reed]

He's insane. And his buddy Tory Meister is also a ripping professional surfer. So Tory's only spearfish twice. And Albie goes all the time. And they were on the north shore and this happened like two weeks ago. Albie's down low, he's got all these fish around his belt he's been catching and he can hold his breath for like four minutes straight. So Tory's up close to top of the surface and he can hear the screaming happening. And he looks up, there's about a 12 foot tiger shark that keeps rushing at him. So he's fighting him off with a spear. So Albie freaks out, takes his belt off real fast and swims up to the top, gets in front of the shark to like tamper with it and lets the belt go. Shark dives about 10ft and goes away from it right away. Alvy sees the shark go away, so he tells him to go up real quick. They get a breath, he says, we're gonna have to go back down. We don't want to be bobbing on top. So they go back down to get eye level, see where it's at. Comes back around, circles from behind him and he says, you know, I've been in the water with so many sharks, but I've never had one literally trying to eat me. And it's going at him. He said, the speed of this thing was crazy and it would dart at him. And they were fighting this thing off the spears. It was a solid 15 minute fight with this shark. And now they're trying to spirit and swim backwards towards the shore. And so are they holding the spirit?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

They're not shooting a spirit over and over again. They're just holding the spirit because if.

[Mel Reed]

You shoot it, you've only got one shot.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah.

[Mel Reed]

So the shark was opening its mouth and Albie told him they kept going to the surface. Whenever swim off, they would quickly go to the surface, get a breath. And Abby told him towards the end, he says, this thing is going to eat us if we don't do something now. Because he could tell how desperate this shark was. Must have been super hungry. Juvenile shark, 12ft, male. So. But he knew he only had one shot and he said, if it opens his mouth again, I'm trying to shoot in his mouth, but then you're going to be the only one with the spear. He never got the shot because it was so. He said it was so quick and you couldn't time it. But now the shark had figured out it went behind him and it was trying to push him back out to the deep and it's pushing him out further and further. He said this fight went on for a solid 15 minutes where he truly thought of all the big wave Rodney's done and you know, he's had severe brain damage from Jaws and stuff. He said this was. I knew it was over. As aggressive as this thing was, they finally fought it off and they made their way back. And how did.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What was the final.

[Mel Reed]

It just. It finally get gave.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Tired.

[Mel Reed]

It gave up with them. Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Dude, that's crazy. That's crazy. That's why you don't surf. That's truly. You're talking about snowboarding. If a monster was in the mountains, that's the monster that I would not. That's why I don't go out there. That story alone, I was gonna go surfing today. Not doing it.

[Mel Reed]

Thank you.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay, so this is just hand eye coordination. So if you hit scuba, if you want to show me, hit the button, we'll do a practice round. We'd have no idea. That's the thing. We don't even know how to offer expert advice. But you will win a scholarship. You will win a scholarship. So if you hit, it's gonna tell you that's the middle button. So that's bop it and that's twist it. And the other ones pull it little practice run here.

[Alec Baldwin]

Bop it, twist it, pull It.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Twist it. All right, he's ready. Let it die now. Let it die now. One of the most athletic guys I know. He's gonna play. Bop it. He's ready to go. The leader is Dirk Smelly with 18. Kip, are you ready? All right, hit it up. Pull it.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Pull it. No, pull it.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's twist it.

[Dan Aykroyd]

There you go.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Now bop it.

[Alec Baldwin]

Bop it. Twist it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Pull it. Twist it. Pull it. Twist it.

[Alec Baldwin]

Bop it. Bop it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Pull it. Twist it.

[Alec Baldwin]

Twist it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Oh, it slipped out of his hand. 9.

[Mel Reed]

What was the high score?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

18. You were on it. That was a thing? It just slipped out of your hand? That was a grip issue.

[Mel Reed]

Thing.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yep.

[Mel Reed]

Anyways, Going to sleep now.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's going to sleep.

[Mel Reed]

I can't believe I let Dirk Bentley beat me in.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Well, look, man, the record, I'm going to be honest. It's 23 tracks. I haven't listened to every single track, but I did listen to a lot of it. It's awesome.

[Mel Reed]

I appreciate it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I think I listened to A and B the first.

[Mel Reed]

Okay. Yeah, I got you.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I got you. That's how I knew.

[Mel Reed]

Take it. Take a. Take a look on Forever Is a Lie when you.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I hear you. They only gave me the thing last night. The whole. The record. Oh, it's not actually out yet. I mean, it is. While we're talking about it.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I only just got it, like, last night. Yeah. I'm rooting for you. I love the project. I love that it feels so personal. You're able to do it how you wanted to do it. I think that's.

[Mel Reed]

I appreciate that.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I think that's probably more fulfilling for you than any other project you've ever done.

[Mel Reed]

Yeah, I appreciate that.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You got to do your thing. Everyone that's listening now, go see Kip on the road. And he's doing a bunch of dates himself. He's all over the place. But also he's doing a bunch of dates with Billy. Billy Currington. And the record is out today. It's weird when something new comes out because. Do you expect feedback immediately? Do you search for feedback immediately?

[Mel Reed]

No. I've tried to, like, really disassociate myself. When I like, it's. It's. Yeah. You know, because I can't sit here and say I don't care, because I do. Probably too much. So I try to disassociate myself when I get done with the project. Like, I mean, I've really put it behind. And then I'll be playing it soon and I'll be reconnected. To it, but, you know, music is just so subjective, so I've just learned to let that be what it is.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Solitary tracks out now. Kit Moore. Go. Kitmoremusic Good to see you, buddy.

[Mel Reed]

Thank you so much.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

There he is. Kit Moore, everybody.

[Mel Reed]

Thank you. Love the Larry Bird sound ball.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

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

[Ashlyn Harris]

It's not very often that lunchbox comes in concerned about somebody else. Most of the time he just spills some tea, makes a complaint. But to raise a concern is a very unusual thing for a lunchbox buddy did, and it was about Amy and something that happened in our studio's parking garage.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Number five, Lunchbox, you have asked for the mic. Go ahead.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yes. And I'm concerned for Amy's safety. Oh, Amy. I'm worried you're gonna injure yourself or you're gonna injure someone else in this building. You drive like a maniac in this parking garage. And it's.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

She does.

[Alec Baldwin]

No, I saw her driving, like, 30 miles an hour.

[Bobby Bones]

Impossible.

[Alec Baldwin]

Coming up. And here's the thing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Whipping around, whipping around.

[Alec Baldwin]

Usually when you're the one coming up a parking garage, you take the outside and you make a wide turn. Amy is cutting it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Oh, no.

[Alec Baldwin]

Like, coming around, and I'm like, amy, there's gonna be someone coming the other way, and they should be. And it was giving me, like, uncomfortable feelings because she was moving so fast and she.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Anxiety. Yes, that's the word. Yeah. I wanted to just help you out with that.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, all good. I was feeling uncomfortable in my own sk. And I saw it and I was like, oh, Amy, you're going to hit someone, you've got to slow down and you've got to take your turn.

[Bobby Bones]

Where were you watching?

[Alec Baldwin]

Why, Amy?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Why? Where did you see it? How did you see it?

[Alec Baldwin]

I was sitting in the parking garage, and I could see her coming up and I see her whip.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Why were you sitting in the parking garage?

[Alec Baldwin]

Because I was getting out of the.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Car, just chilling, man.

[Alec Baldwin]

And I was just like, amy goes way too fast. I mean, she is moving.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Even if you go medium, there's an accident that's going to happen because our parking garage just wraps around. Wraps around, Wraps around. We're up on, like, that seventh, eighth floor, whatever it is, and people almost get hit all the time going slow to where they have to put mirrors up in the corner so you can see people coming around.

[Alec Baldwin]

Amy doesn't even know those were mirrors there.

[Bobby Bones]

She had to be told.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I was told, you think those are corner chandeliers?

[Bobby Bones]

They're useful now that I'm aware of them.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Speak on this.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I have no idea what he's talking about. There's. There's no way I was going 30 miles per hour up the ramp. It's impossible.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay, let's say because you stopped. Let's say we remove the number.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Are you a bit aggressive?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I. Reckless?

[Bobby Bones]

I. No, I think that I'm totally fine. I think that he's just digging.

[Alec Baldwin]

Do you take the white. Do you take wide turns or.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I could probably go a little wider.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I could probably go a little wider. He's not wrong about that. But I don't think I was reckless or driving too fast. I probably do need to proceed with caution at that point, like, where you're turning, because I do forget that, like, other cars can come out the other way.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So that's the thing. From the other way. No, that's where the head on accident's gonna happen. Yeah. Has anyone been in an accident here?

[Alec Baldwin]

Not yet.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Knock on wood.

[Alec Baldwin]

Give it two months. And Amy, if she doesn't start taking wider turns and slow down.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah, you have to go slow and wide.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like I'm going slow, so I'll just go wider. But you know what? I'll. For lunchbox's sake here. Since he is concerned about my safety, I will make note of my speed next time I'm doing it. I'm not even gonna try to manipulate. I'm just gonna do like I normally do. Go up the ramp and check the speed lunchbox over.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Under 30 days until she has a fender bender of some sort.

[Alec Baldwin]

Under.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You think so? I mean, in the next month, you think she'll hit something or somebody?

[Alec Baldwin]

The way she was moving to that parking garage? I was like, wow. Like, girl, you need to relax, girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

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

[Kip Moore]

Hey, y'all, it's your girl, Cheekies. And I'm back with a brand new season of your favorite podcast, Cheekies and Chill. I'll be sharing even more personal stories with you guys, and I know a lot of people are gonna attack me.

[Alec Baldwin]

Why?

[Kip Moore]

Are you gonna go visit your dad? Your mom wouldn't be okay with it. I'm gonna tell you guys right now. I know my mother, and I know my mom had a very forgiving heart. That is my story on plastic surgery. This is my truth. I think the last time I cried like that was when I lost my mom like that, like, yelling. I was like, no, I was like, oh, and I thought, what did I do wrong? And as always, you'll get my exclusive take on topics like love, personal growth, health, family ties, and more. And don't forget, I'll also be dishing out my best advice to you on episodes of Dear Cheekies.

[Ashlyn Harris]

So my fiance and I have been.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Together for 10 years.

[Lunchbox]

In the first two years of being.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Together, I find out he is cheating.

[Lunchbox]

On me, not only with women, but also with men.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What should I do?

[Kip Moore]

Okay, where do I start? That's not love. He doesn't love you enough. Because if he loved you, he'd be faithful. It's going to be an exciting year and I hope that you can join me, listen to Cheekies and Chill Season four as part of the My Cultura Podcast network.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'm Mark Seale.

[Morgan]

And I'm Nathan King.

[Alec Baldwin]

This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

The five families did not want us to shoot that picture.

[Morgan]

Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book of the same title. And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish, this is really.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

The first interview I've done in bed.

[Morgan]

We sift through innumerable accounts.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

35 pages isn't very much.

[Morgan]

Many of them conflicting.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

That's nonsense.

[Morgan]

There were 60 pages. And try to get to the truth of what really happened.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

They sort we're finished. This is over. It only is not going to work. You gotta get rid of those guys. It's a disaster.

[Morgan]

Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire, and many others.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yes, that was a real horse's head.

[Morgan]

Listen and subscribe to Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Something about Mary Poppins?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Something about Mary Poppins. Exactly.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Oh, man, this is fun.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'm AJ Jacobs and I am an author and a journalist, and I tend to get obsessed with stuff, and my.

[Mel Reed]

Current obsession is puzzles. And that has given birth to my podcast, the Puzzler. Dressing. Dressing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

French dressing. Exactly. Oh, that's good. Now you can get your daily puzzle.

[Mel Reed]

Nuggets delivered straight to your ears.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I thought to myself, I bet I know what this is.

[Kip Moore]

And now I definitely know what this is.

[Alec Baldwin]

This is so weird. This is fun.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Let's try this one. Our brand new season features special guests like Chuck Bryant, Mayim Bialik, Julie Bowen, Sam Sanders, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and lots more. Listen to the Puzzler every day on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That's awful and I should have seen it coming.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Kayl Lowery, who some people might know from 16 and pregnant, came onto our show. So a few weeks ago, we scammed a scammer. It was somebody who was impersonating Kale's manager. And they asked Amy to come on her podcast as a guest. And they were doing this whole zoom thing. And we knew it was a scam, but we wanted to set it up so we could scam the scammer. We did. That all happened, which you can watch on our YouTube page. And then Kale came on to share her thoughts on the whole thing and this person impersonating her manager. So you're going to hear her whole story. Also, the time she got hacked. It's crazy. These scammers are wild.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Number four, it's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know, we're about to talk to Kaylin Lowery. Kaylin Lowery was on Teen Mom.

[Alec Baldwin]

16 and pregnant. Then Teen Mom. Yeah, it cycles up.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So Lunchbox is a massive fan. And we knew of her outside of Lunchbox because Amy got an email going, hey, I'm John, I'm the manager. Want to put you on a podcast on Kaylin's podcast. And it felt fishy, so we tracked it all the way and got the guy on and he was trying to scam right us.

[Bobby Bones]

There are scams where they offer you money to join the podcast, and he hadn't offered any money. So we were like, well, maybe this is legit. But he was trying. Trying to just hack my Facebook.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. And then there's a part where it's like, you're safe. Trust me. Feel free. Whatever it was here, don't be afraid. You're safe. Don't worry. It was so creepy. So we'll talk to Kaylin about the scam, and then also, Lunchbox, we'll get some questions in as well, because he is a super fan. But here she is, Kaylen Lowry. Hey, Kaylin. They're saying you go by Kale now. Is that true? I just want to say your name Right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, Kale.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So Cale Lowry's on, and we have many reasons for you to be on. We have super fans of yours in the studio, and we're gonna get to that in a second. But we gotta tell you, we had somebody try to scam us, acting like they were your manager, and people do this to us as well. But does this happen with you where people act like they're representing you and they're really not?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Well, most recently, somebody. I'm assuming the same people that scammed you guys, were scanning, like, I don't know, 20 or 30 people. I got tagged in, like, things sort of like, what, they tagged me in on your page?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. And so we got him on the phone. No, we did the whole thing where we knew it was a scam, Kale. And then we're like, well, let's just see what happens. And so we get them on. It was some dude from India. Don't be afraid. You're safe. Don't worry. He was, like, telling us to click links and give control of our computer. And so it was just to let everybody know, like, don't believe when someone's trying to schedule us or you, because this is a real problem now, right?

[Lunchbox]

What is the end game? Right? Like, are they getting finances somehow or what is the purpose?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So what we think is they want a control of our computer, and then they are in, and so they can take over your Facebook because they wanted to do it on Facebook, which also let me know it wasn't you, because they were like, we're gonna do this podcast on Facebook. And so we don't really jump into Facebook with many podcasts, like, do it from there. Yeah, but they want to take control of your Facebook, and then they want to use that Facebook to sell a.

[Bobby Bones]

Bunch of crap, scam other people, your followers, and.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it Was.

[Lunchbox]

Well, that happened to my Facebook. My Facebook was taken over by somebody, and for years, I couldn't get it back. And they were monetizing my public Facebook page.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So that's totally what he wanted to do.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So were you ever able to get it back? And what were they trying to sell? How are they making money?

[Lunchbox]

I just got it back. I think maybe within the last year, I got it back. And, I mean, we were in conversations with Meta. We were trying to figure out, you know, could we pay a service to help us get us back, get it back? Every video that I put up because I still had a. The ability to post on it. So I would post reels and things like that. They would get all of the profit and all of the monetization from that, but they would also post the most random videos with people. I had no idea who they were. Funny videos, all kinds of content, and they would get paid on those as well.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Well, we are here in solidarity. We are not trying to book and pay anybody. And the guy that emailed us, his name was John Walker. Your manager. And do you have a. Do you have a manager named John Walker?

[Lunchbox]

I don't even have a manager.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah, from India. I was like, her manager ain't gonna be from India. Like, my manager lives in the same town as I do, and there's a reason. But. Okay, so anybody that's trying to get booked on Kale's podcast, how do you book your podcast? This is good. How do you book yours?

[Lunchbox]

You can email me infoaillowry.com DM me and it's always gonna come either from me, my assistant, or my producer for the podcast, which I talk about, you know, Kristen and Al. Sandra all the time. So if you're a regular listener to the podcast or know me on social media, like, you know those two names, that's crazy.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay, good lunchbox. You've been over there chomping at the bit.

[Alec Baldwin]

How you been, Kale?

[Lunchbox]

Hey, how are you?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's so good to see you.

[Alec Baldwin]

Hey, I miss you. Look, we used to. We used to interact on Twitter, but let me tell you, my Twitter got hacked. I don't have Twitter anymore because someone.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Took my Twitter just clicking on Kale's stuff. It wasn't even Kale.

[Alec Baldwin]

I don't know where from, but it just went away, and I don't have it anymore. And so then I miss out on a lot of life updates. I want to know, how do you have time to do so many podcasts? I mean, how do you do it?

[Lunchbox]

I just do it.

[Alec Baldwin]

I.

[Lunchbox]

That's the number one question I always get, but I just do it. I work from home, I have this cute little office and I have a set recording schedule every single week. So I know exactly what podcasts are getting recorded. And I try to be out of my office by 2:30 to go pick up my kids every day.

[Alec Baldwin]

Man, that is so cool. Off by 2:30 and then just be mom and living life. And do you miss, do you miss the tv? Like do you miss that part?

[Lunchbox]

It's a double edged sword. I want to say yes. I don't miss the narrative, but I do miss a little bit of the environment.

[Alec Baldwin]

And what about the girls? What about the other girls? Do you still talk to any of the girls?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, well, I just signed Caitlin and Tyler to my podcast network, so that was exciting.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's awesome. And so like how like rich wise, like are you living in a mansion? Like what's going on, Kale?

[Lunchbox]

I mean I live comfortably. I have a nice little 5,000 square foot house that I love and we have a rental property right in the front and a farm. So we live very comfortably.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You have one more question.

[Alec Baldwin]

Only one more?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Well, yeah, I mean I have stuff I want to ask too, but I'm letting you get your super fan stuff out.

[Alec Baldwin]

Do your kids understand the famous aspect? Do they, do they get approached in public? How do you handle that?

[Lunchbox]

It's, it's been a little weird. You know, Isaac's 15 now, so that part is a little weird for him because he doesn't really know how to navigate it just yet.

[Mel Reed]

It.

[Lunchbox]

But he said when people are nice to him about it, he's fine. Like the kids at school, if they ask nicely and they're not like rude or entitled to his answers, that's been okay. The rest of the kids don't seem to, to mind or, or really get approached on their own.

[Alec Baldwin]

I mean that's what's crazy is her kids about to have a driver's license. Like that is so weird.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Is that the kid from 16 and pregnant? The OG yes.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, and that's what I mean. Like they were showing like Macy and then we're doing a follow up season and the kids are like driving and I'm like, how is this possible? How? I've, I've known these girls for 16 years.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You've known them all?

[Mel Reed]

Yeah. Yes, they've been a part of my.

[Alec Baldwin]

Life for 16 years.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You have seven children, Kel? Yeah, I have seven and the oldest is 15. How young is the youngest, my twins are one. Was there any theme in naming them?

[Lunchbox]

So originally I had the middle names. All were double Ls. That was the main theme. All their first names were inspired by somebody or somewhere. Right. Like Isaac was Isaac Hansen from the Hansens. Lincoln was Lincoln Burrows from Prison Break. And so there was like a theme sort of with the first name. What was your original question? Oh, and then the double L middle names. I lost that with the twins. Like by 6 and 7, we didn't have any more double L names.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Do you have any rule about your kids being in pictures?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I. If anyone approaches us in public, I don't allow my kids to be in them. If the kids are like, no, I want to, that's a different conversation. But I don't like when the fan comes up and asks, can you get Isaac in the picture? Can you get Lincoln in the picture? I don't like that.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So you do a. Do you allow your 15 year old to have social media?

[Lunchbox]

He does have social media, but I oversee all of it. And he, if he makes a video for his Instagram or his Tick tock, he sends it to me first and I have to give approval.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So what's the difference in coffee convos? And then like baby mamas? No drama.

[Lunchbox]

Well, so we don't have baby mamas. No drama anymore. We now have karma and chaos. So Karma and chaos is a rekindling of a friendship with my friend, one of my best friends. And so we fell out and then we got back together. We had, we have a podcast now. Coffee Combos with Lindsay is very different because we talk about co parenting, we talk about pop culture, we talk about everything on there. And so I would say karma and chaos is more advice based and experience based. And then coffee combos is just a free for all.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What about Barely Famous? Is that a guest podcast?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So Barely Famous is guest based and I just do interviews on that one.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So how many days a week are you doing podcasts? We have a lot.

[Lunchbox]

Usually three or four days a week. Last week I recorded eight or nine episodes altogether.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What is your relationship with fame? I mean, see, I asked that because it's. It's Barely Famous podcast and I don't know she's famous.

[Alec Baldwin]

Don't, don't let her lie to you. She ain't barely famous.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Well, I'm not asking that. I'm just like, define fame today.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I don't even know if I can. When I think of famous people, I think of, I mean, Kim Kardashian, right? Like big names and I'm never. I'm not that right. So that's why I say barely famous. But I sort of hat like people, some people know who I am. So that's why I say barely famous. I don't know if fame has a definition anymore because people are becoming famous just through Instagram and, and tick tock. Now they don't have to be on a show, they don't have to be an actress, they don't have to be an actor. You know what I mean?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. There's like a micro fame and yeah, you can be famous for just being. Specializing in something where if you know a whole lot about broccoli, you're gonna have a following and someone's gonna see you be like, oh my God, you're my favorite broccoli. You know, I think. And when Lunchbox asked you the question about being on tv, I think just doing content is television now. You know, anything on the phone, if it's in someone's eyes or ears, I.

[Lunchbox]

Think too, with the. I don't want to call it a downfall that might be reaching, but cable is sort of going away. People are getting more views on their social media than when shows are airing on TV with a full production.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. And it's much cheaper to do, you know, and we can just do it. That's why the raw stuff works so well, you know, and not the real, you know, shiny stuff. Well, I mean, it looks like you work really hard. That's super cool. I'm so happy to see your success after the show. And man, you got a lot of kids. That's pretty crazy. Seven kids. That's wild. Did you. What was the goal to have a large family? Like, did you have five and we're do one more and then it's like, oh, we got two more.

[Lunchbox]

No, that sort of happened after the. I didn't want kids originally. I never wanted kids kids. So when I had one and I grew up an only child, I was like, well, we better have one more. And then it sort of went kind of snowballed from there. And you know, we joke about having an 8th, but 8. 8 feels like a lot to me.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Did it get easier physically, like 4, 5, 6, 7, like to hold?

[Lunchbox]

No, it got worse.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I would say my body was way. It took it much easier back when I only had, you know, two and three. But by my fifth and my twins, I, I was going through it. I was going through it physically.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I feel like with six pregnancies, you have the sample size to actually ask you this could. Is there something that happened to you while you were having the kid that you knew it was gonna be a boy or girl?

[Lunchbox]

No. And I. I had gut feelings, but they weren't always right, so. And I didn't find out for the first three. I didn't find out if they were boys or girls. I was just like, I knew the next one was gonna be a girl, and they weren't until my daughter came was. She's one of the twins.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Because people, like, if it's. If it's low, it's going to be a girl. There are all these things. And I ask you again, who have been through six pregnancies, six different versions of labor, that it's all just a crapshoot the whole time?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. Every single time. No. The Chinese calendar, the little string.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

That's awesome. Well, you guys can follow Kale on Instagram. Llowry. And again, the podcast, it goes from Barely Famous Karma and Chaos Coffee Convos. Check those out. We'll put them in the body of the podcast. Our description as well. Hey, thanks for the time. And we're so happy we did not get scammed by you. It wasn't you. Yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

No scammers allowed.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You do not have a manager in India named John. I don't. Yes. Yes. Well, I hope you have an awesome rest of the day. And thanks for spending some time with us, Kayl.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you so much.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

All right, good to talk to you. Bye. Bye. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Number two, everybody on the show felt that they had to make an apology to someone or something. So we did it on the show. Big vulnerable moment where everybody got very public and shared an apology that they felt they had to make.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Number three, we're gonna do. Is there anyone you'd like to apologize to? That's the segment. Eddie's the one that suggested it. I don't know why. Are you looking to public apologize? Yes, go ahead.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Yes, I'd like to apologize to my wife. A few days ago, she came to me and said that her tire was flat, that it was indicating on the screen in her car that one of her tires was going flat. I inspected the tire myself, went. Punched it a little bit, squeezed it, moved it around like, this isn't flat. You're. Whatever's telling you it's flat is not flat. Fine. She went another day, she said, it's still telling me it's even more flat. I checked it. It's not flat. Turns out she had a Nail in it. And then, because she went against me.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And went to the tire. Now it's her fault.

[Dan Aykroyd]

She went to the tire place without telling me because she didn't believe me.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

But you were wrong.

[Dan Aykroyd]

That's why I'm apologizing, because I was wrong. But I'm just saying I was a little upset that she went. She totally just. Just better ignored me.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

But her instinct said, you're wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

She needed to ignore you or she's going to end up on the side of the road.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You're right.

[Dan Aykroyd]

You're right. And that's why I'd like to apologize.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Did she end up on the side of the road?

[Dan Aykroyd]

No, she did not.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank goodness. Because she was proactive.

[Dan Aykroyd]

She said, my husband's stupid. I'm gonna go check this out. At a tire place.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. Did you get mad at her when she told you?

[Dan Aykroyd]

No. No. I was like, wow, you were right. I'm sorry. You were absolutely right.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Good for you.

[Bobby Bones]

So now you're just publicly apologizing?

[Dan Aykroyd]

Yes, I'm publicly apologizing. And inside, when she went against what I said, I was kind of a little irritated. But I'm over it now.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Lunchbox. Anyone you want to apologize to?

[Alec Baldwin]

I'd like to apologize to my neighbor. There was a dead squirrel in my yard, and I didn't want the kids playing with it, so I got two sticks and just flung it over into their yard.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And they didn't do anything to you?

[Alec Baldwin]

No, they didn't do anything to me, but I. I didn't have anywhere to put the dead squirrel.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Trash bag?

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, I mean, I was just outside, and the kids were outside, and I was like, man, I'll just fling it over their yard.

[Dan Aykroyd]

So now he has a dead squirrel in his yard.

[Alec Baldwin]

So they had a dead squirrel in their yard, and the husband was not. Was out of town, so she had had to call her son who lives somewhere south of town, and he came over and got the dead squirrel. I was like, oh, I saw Jimmy was over there. She's like, yeah, I had a dead squirrel in my yard. And I was like, oh, that's. That sucks. But I'd like to apologize to my neighbor. That was me. I threw the squirrel in your yard because it was dead in my yard, and I didn't need it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Appreciate you sharing that. Yeah, it's brave, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I do, but it's private.

[Dan Aykroyd]

What? No, that's not the point.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's with Bobby. I needed to talk to you in your office, so we'll just.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Either to apologize. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm good. I forgive you. You don't even know what it is. I don't care.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't even.

[Alec Baldwin]

I know what it is.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'm holding nothing. I have no resentment.

[Dan Aykroyd]

What if it's like she stole a million dollars?

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, that could be.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I would rather not know, because I don't want to get irritated at something.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What? If you apologize for something that I don't know or I'm not bothered by, there is a chance you're introducing me to being irritated at something, which means.

[Bobby Bones]

That deep down, you are irritated by it, which means I need to apologize. I don't need to.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Oh, I know what it is. I want to. I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you know?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Don't apologize for it.

[Bobby Bones]

Why? No, we're not.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I know what it is. We're good.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not good.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

We're good, but we're not good.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We all know what it is. We do.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't even tell right now with your tone. It's not good.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Is my tone weird?

[Dan Aykroyd]

No, it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you're. You're brushing it off, like. No, we're good.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No, I already know we're good. I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

No. I've known you for 20 years. It's not good.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Oh, my God.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Okay, see, Mike, do you know what it is? I don't know what it is.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You guys can't know what it is.

[Alec Baldwin]

How are you guys.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Lunchbox knows what it is. How do you not know what it is?

[Dan Aykroyd]

I don't know what it is.

[Alec Baldwin]

It had the potential to be.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Don't even say anything else. You do know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I need. I want to apologize.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No need.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Hey, apology accepted. I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Apology accepted. This doesn't feel genuine right now.

I'm trying to go pro and pickleball So I hired a pickleball coach, and we just bit her lip because she didn't want to say anything. I hired a pickleball coach. He's a former tennis player.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Okay.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Who's, like, playing pickleball at a high level. And I was like, I need somebody to train me because I'm trying to go pro and pickleball.

[Bobby Bones]

Does he live here in Nashville?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yes. And so I hired a. That's not the thing. Don't judge me already. This is not the apology.

[Alec Baldwin]

Oh, sorry.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So I hired a pickleball coach, and my wife was like, hey, can I come out and hit some with you and the coach? I was like, no, this is serious. And I shouldn't have said no. I should just. Should have just let her come out and hit with us.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I know. I got a little too competitive.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Said that.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I know I shouldn't have. That's on me. I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

So she. Did she end up coming out or. No, no, no, no.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

But I don't mind letting her next time.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. She's probably gonna totally not want to go.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No, I'm apologizing. I should have. When she asked, I should have said, yes, come out. But I was like, I gotta train. I don't want to be, you know, doing anything. It's not up to my level.

[Mel Reed]

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So I apologize. That's good, Morgan. Anything you want to apologize to publicly?

[Ashlyn Harris]

Yeah, it, Like, I thought it was totally up, and it wasn't, and so.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'm Mark Seale.

[Morgan]

And I'm Nathan King.

[Alec Baldwin]

This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

The five families did not want us to shoot that picture.

[Morgan]

Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book of the same title. And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish.

[Mel Reed]

This is really the first interview I've done in bed.

[Morgan]

We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

That's nonsense.

[Morgan]

There were 60 pages. And try to get to the truth of what really happened.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And they said, we're finished.

[Alec Baldwin]

This is over.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It only is not going to work. You gotta get rid of those guys.

[Morgan]

It's just that Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire and many others.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yes, that was a real horse's head.

[Morgan]

Listen and subscribe to Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Something about Mary Poppins?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Something about Mary Poppins. Exactly.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Oh, man, this is fun.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'm AJ Jacobs and I am an author and a journalist and I tend to get obsessed with stuff and my current obsession is puzzles. And that has got given birth to.

[Mel Reed]

My podcast, the Puzzler. Dressing. Dressing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

French dressing. Exactly. Oh, that's good. Now you can get your daily puzzle.

[Mel Reed]

Nuggets delivered straight to your ears.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I thought to myself, I bet I know what this is.

[Kip Moore]

And now I definitely know what this is.

[Alec Baldwin]

This is so weird. This is fun.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Let's try this one. Our brand new season features special guests like Chuck Bryant, Mayim Bialik, Julie Bowen, Sam Sanders, Joseph Gordon Levitt and lots more. Listen to the Puzzler every day on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. That's awful. And I should have seen it coming.

[Ashlyn Harris]

There were two things that happened recently with some co workers and we decided to talk about it on the show, but not in the capacity of just the convers that. But which one lunchbox was going to be more jealous and upset over and we all made bets and then he heard these two segments and he definitely had a strong envy of one particular co worker here. And it may get him into some trouble later if he does anything about it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Number two Box is walking back in the studio. He does not know the options he's about to hear. We're judging which he'll get. Okay, there he is. I'll be quiet. All right, come on in.

[Alec Baldwin]

I don't like this headphones.

[Dan Aykroyd]

You don't even know what it is.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, but when you send me out of the room, you're setting Me up for failure.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We're not.

[Alec Baldwin]

Okay, good.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We do want to share a couple stories with you.

[Alec Baldwin]

Okay.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

The first one is Raymundo is going to walk a red carpet on a TV show. And Ray, they're gonna send a car. Yep. Limo. I've been told. Limo. You're gonna. You're gonna do press interviews just for the pub of. What do they want with. With my car? When they pimped it. Yeah. So Chase Matthew has a TV show, country artist, and they took Ray's car and they remade it, but they want Ray to come out and be the star of the night, walk the red carpet, do press, et cetera. Thoughts?

[Alec Baldwin]

That's annoying.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Why?

[Alec Baldwin]

I mean, that just sucks. Like, I mean, I don't know. I mean, that's something I should be doing. I should be on the red carpet of shows. I don't know. It's a little frustrating.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

What is your frustration or annoyance level?

[Alec Baldwin]

What level? Like, 95%.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Oh.

[Alec Baldwin]

Like, I don't think he really deserves it, but whatever. I mean, that's what they want. That's what they want.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Well, he's on the show.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah. That's unfortunate. That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't understand why they. Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay. Another story. Eddie, you want this one?

[Dan Aykroyd]

Yeah, sure. Yeah. There are some people that we work with that went to Jelly Rolls bar, and while they were there, Jelly Roll said, as long as this bar is open, you will never pay for a drink here. And he handed them personalized cards, and they are lifetime cards for them to drink for free at that bar. And the crazy thing is, one of the guys don't even drink.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So it's a Jelly Rolls bar. Everybody was invited to go to the opening.

[Alec Baldwin]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And they got cards for life.

[Bobby Bones]

More of a response.

[Alec Baldwin]

Here's the thing. I got invited to that, right?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We all did. Yes.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah. But it was a 9:00pm like, start time, and I was like, ooh, 9:00pm That's a little late. You know, I'm saying, like on a weeknight. I don't know if I can handle that. These other people, see, they don't have jobs where they had to be there early. They just roll in whenever they want. They come in at 10 o'clock and it's like, oh, no big deal. Or they work from home, so they're able to do that kind of stuff. That is frustrating. Oh, that sucks. You know, cool would be because, like, friends coming down. I got you. You slap that down on the bar and you just buy everybody drinks. All night.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Frustration level 100%. Oh, so that's like.

[Alec Baldwin]

Just imagine, like, you just want to go out on Broadway where. And just take people any time of the day. Just go in there, start buying people drinks. You the most popular people person in town.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You could have been there. You chose not to. Dang.

[Alec Baldwin]

You think Jelly Roll. Give me one anyway.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No, I do not.

[Dan Aykroyd]

No chance.

[Alec Baldwin]

You don't think J Roll hook it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Up and don't even ask because that puts them in a weird pressure. No, you did. You just told Lunchbox to ask. I am going to don't. Because it put. Don't. Because it's a whole conflict of interest thing where it's like, if I don't, then they feel pressure.

[Alec Baldwin]

I'll say, look, this is what I'll say. Just. If I handle it this way, I.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Don'T want you to ask because it puts artists in a bad place.

[Mel Reed]

Not.

[Alec Baldwin]

Not awkward or anything.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's already awkward.

[Alec Baldwin]

No, no, you just listen.

[Bobby Bones]

Next time I see Bobby can't even handle the hypothetical.

[Alec Baldwin]

No.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Because it makes. It makes me look bad. If you're asking for free stuff.

[Alec Baldwin]

No, no, no. I'm not going to ask for free stuff. Just listen to how I'm going to say it. What up, Jelly man? How you been? How you been?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Oh, man, why you talking like that? You don't talk like that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how he talks to J.

[Dan Aykroyd]

He did a handshake.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Handshake.

[Alec Baldwin]

Sorry. Sorry I missed that grand opening. Dude got a little sick. I mean, I missed everything. Anything cool happened there? Like, were you giving anything away that I didn't get?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You can't do give anything away. No, it's. It's a conflict of interest because it doesn't have to be Jelly Roll, but people would feel like, well, if I don't do this, maybe I don't get to go on the show. Maybe I don't get to. So they feel like they have to do that. So if it comes to you. But no, you can't ask for it.

[Alec Baldwin]

All right, I won't ask.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No, you can't even allude to it.

[Alec Baldwin]

No, no. I'll just tweet, like, man, I can't believe I missed that free drink card at Jelly Rolls.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No, it was. You didn't miss it. He was never giving it to you.

[Alec Baldwin]

No, no, he was.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You don't know that. You don't know that.

[Alec Baldwin]

That everybody that went to the grand opening got it.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No, not everybody. Obviously. There were a thousand people there. People you know in the building.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Don't Worry about it.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, no, let me know. Why are you talking about.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, he already said one of the guys doesn't drink. He probably guessed.

[Alec Baldwin]

No way. I'm texting him right now. Why are you giving to him?

[Dan Aykroyd]

They're like, what's he gonna do with the car? That's crazy.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay?

[Alec Baldwin]

He doesn't even come to town.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'm gonna play jelly roll now.

[Alec Baldwin]

Are you serious?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'm serious.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's all you took me out of the room for? To rile me up.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We debated. Which would you get most irritated?

[Alec Baldwin]

Which one? Which one did you vote?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I didn't vote. Amy and Eddie voted that Ray because he was closer. Like, he's seven feet from you now. He's celebrated famous, and Morgan thought it would be. You love free stuff so much that it would be the jelly roll thing. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Number two, sometimes we all have some very big news to share, and that is what happened this week. We went around the room, everybody had a big news story to share. Whether it was personal, something that happened in the news that's impacting them, or maybe it's not good. Maybe it's kind of weird. I don't know. You're gonna get the whole gamut of things. But we all had big news, and that's what you're about to hear here.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Number one, this segment's completely unfair because I said, everybody share some big news. And Amy just went, how big? I got nothing. But we'll come to you. We'll come to you, because what happened was I saw something. I was like, oh, big news. I'm gonna share this on the show. So here we are on Thursday. I got big news to share. Then Eddie goes, I have big news, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So then it was. We forced everybody to have some big news. So, Eddie, you can go first. What's your big news?

[Dan Aykroyd]

I have huge news.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Let's go.

[Dan Aykroyd]

After seven years of paying a car payment, I am finally a car owner. I own my Jeep. It's 100% mine. I don't own a payment anymore. It's, like, crazy because I've never, ever owned a vehicle before.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I think that's a big deal. I think it should be celebrated.

[Bobby Bones]

Big news.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Big news from Eddie. He has paid off his car.

[Bobby Bones]

That's really cool.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's a big deal.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I feel like Amy's giggling because hers is. Yeah, yeah. I don't say anything. We'll come to you in a minute. Know I have big news.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's something I've talked about on the show a lot. Now I want to read you this. The latest analysis has reduced the probability of that asteroid. They got up to over 3% to now.001%. Big news.

[Dan Aykroyd]

That means we're living.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Possibly.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Wow.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Asteroid YR4 will pass Earth on December 22, 2032. The probability had gotten as high as 3.1. The rise and fall of the asteroids impact probability has followed an expected and understood pattern. The European Space Agency says.001%.001% for me. That's big news. That's big news, guys. Keeping up with it. Okay. I don't know what you're about to say. I don't either. Oh, you don't even know what you're about to say.

[Bobby Bones]

I have like five different things in my head right now.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Give me one. I say Amy's big news, everybody.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I'm going away for a weekend with my ex husband.

[Dan Aykroyd]

What the.

[Bobby Bones]

And my two kids.

[Dan Aykroyd]

This is big.

[Alec Baldwin]

Hold on.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Hold on. I don't want to. No. I want Amy to tell more before we start. Okay. Inserting our theories.

[Bobby Bones]

Should I have gone with something different?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

No. Because we're interested.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

So you and your ex husband are going away together with your kids?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Now that sounds. I know it's not. I think it's not. That sounds romantic.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Because we all thought that.

[Alec Baldwin]

Right?

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah. Okay.

[Alec Baldwin]

I was like, whoa.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Go ahead.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Well.

[Bobby Bones]

And yeah. Just something that we're doing for our kids with our kids. A therapy type thing and co parenting situation. And I'm just really proud of us for getting to this point to where we can do something like this.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Same room.

[Bobby Bones]

Staying in the same room.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we're not staying in the same room.

[Kip Moore]

Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It's a fair question.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a fair question. I was open to staying in like a same space but like different rooms. And then Ben, my ex husband, he was like, well, how does your boyfriend feel about that? And I said he's totally fine. He's supportive. Whatever we need to do for our family, it's totally okay. And then ultimately we decided we were going to do separate. Like Ben and our son will be in a space and then Stashira and I will be in a different space. So totally separate. But we were. We were open to that because it was going to save a little bit, but that's what we're going to do. And it's. I'm really excited about it and I'm just proud of us. And I hope this gives hope. I know not everybody has this type of co parenting situation where you can get along. And Ben and I definitely have moments where we struggle in our communication. But this is big, big news.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Big news.

[Dan Aykroyd]

Big news.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

We'll take it. Weird news, but good news. Mature news.

[Bobby Bones]

Mature news.

[Alec Baldwin]

Weird.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Just how you positioned it. My husband, I are going away together. Well, with our kids. She even gave us that little.

[Bobby Bones]

Our son was even like. Does this mean that. Yeah, he did ask that same question that you did and we said no. But this, our family is a priority and it's important and we're going to always be here for. For you and your sister.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Big news. Big. We like it. Lunchbox. Big News.

[Alec Baldwin]

On Saturday, March 8, I'm going to be in the Mad Dog Demolition Derby.

[Dan Aykroyd]

You're driving?

[Mel Reed]

Yes.

[Alec Baldwin]

They're giving me a car to drive in the Demolition Derby.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah, you get to crash into.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Where is that?

[Alec Baldwin]

It's in Shelbyville, Tennessee. It's like right down the road.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Are you safe?

[Alec Baldwin]

I'm safe. Well, I mean, I have a seatbelt.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure you have a helm. I've been to demolition derbies.

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, you have a helmet.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Is there any way you get hurt?

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah, there's a way I can get hurt. Like, well, okay, so I'm doing like. They have a. They have two different things. They have that, like, where you crash into each other.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Who can last the longest before they break their stick, right? Yes.

[Alec Baldwin]

And you drive backwards so you don't damage the engine. But I. What? Yeah, you ram them.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

This is woke demo derby. I don't like woke demo derby.

[Alec Baldwin]

No, no.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Because that's the smarter way. This is woke demolition derby. Nope. Okay, go ahead.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's so you don't damage your engine and it lasts longer, but that's part of it. And then they also have. Where they have races where you have two cars and they do two laps around the venue and you wreck each other and flip them and stuff. Stuff.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You can't do that one.

[Alec Baldwin]

That's the one I'm doing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

You're gonna flip.

[Alec Baldwin]

I don't know if I'm gonna flip them, but I'm rubbing.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Okay, sorry. You're gonna get flipped by somebody.

[Alec Baldwin]

Maybe Nitro Ned.

[Dan Aykroyd]

That's the guy you're racing?

[Alec Baldwin]

Yeah.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Wait, are you doing the one though where you do the demo demolition or just the.

[Alec Baldwin]

Just the race. Okay, but they're giving me a car and I get to race and I can spin the dude out. Bump them. What? They can bump me. I Mean, this is gonna be awesome.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

His dreams always be bumped by a dude. Let's be honest. Yeah. Now it's been for a long time.

[Dan Aykroyd]

It's finally happening.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Yes. It's finally happening. Happen. Big news. Big news. Big news. Morgan, anything? Yeah.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Well, speaking of cars, I fixed mine. You guys heard that? I came into the studio because my car died. I replaced the battery, all with the help of a friend.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

It was a battery. Yep.

[Ashlyn Harris]

No aaa, no nothing. We couldn't get the car towed, so we just had to get in there.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

And fix it ourselves. Did you?

[Bobby Bones]

Impressive.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

Learn how to do it for next time.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ashlyn Harris]

Now I know everything. I have all the tools that I need. We are all set if a battery dies again.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

All right, big news.

[Alec Baldwin]

Big news.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

All right, let's do one more. Hey, Raymondo, Any chance you have big news? Of course. Speaking of vehicles, I went to the dmv. This has been something that's been in the works since the pandemic 2020. Everybody needs to get a real ID. The US government allowed us to do it until 2025. The deadline is in May. My wife has been nagging me for five years. I was almost not able to travel throughout the United States. I got my real id, guys. I can board a commercial flight. That's so annoying. Big news. I'm sure there's a reason and good for. Hey, big news for you. But it makes me feel I have to go. We have to do it. Then we're going to wait till the last minute. Then everybody's going to be trying to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So this is a warning. You don't. Don't wait till the last minute.

[Kyra K. Dixon]

I'll forget as soon as the segments over, but still, that's good for you, Ray. Yeah. All right, well, good. Good job, everybody. Amy's going away with her husband. Lunchbox getting bumped by a dude. Sorry, ex husband. Morgan knows how to do a battery. Eddie paid off. We're not dying of an asteroid. That's great news overall, massive stuff there. Okay. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

[Ashlyn Harris]

That's it for me this weekend, everybody. Thank you for joining me, catching up on the show. I hope you enjoyed it. I really encourage you to check out part one, part three. Maybe if you haven't listened for a while, you need a break. From different kinds of podcasts. We just catch up. It's all new content. Mike D is joining me this weekend and we talk a little bit about our lives. We also talked about some fun things like moments in movies. Or TV shows that have either traumatized us or made us believe in something that wasn't actually true. And then also he has a huge update on his braces. So all of that over part one, part three and you can check out my podcast if you want to take this personally. I love having fun guests on all across the board. I think there is something for everybody in at least one of the episodes. All right everybody, I'll see you later. Have a great weekend. Stay safe.
