You're listening to an iHeart podcast. We've all experienced being put on hold. The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger in isolation.

Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton English. I'm Greg Lott and this is season two of the War on Drugs podcast. Last year a lot of the problems of the drug war. This year, a lot of the biggest names in music and sports. It's kind of star studded A little bit, man. We met them at their homes. We met them at their recording studios. Stories matter, and it brings a face to it. It makes it real. It really does. It makes it real. Listen to new episodes of the War on Drugs Podcast Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Part two. She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby Bones show this week. Happy weekend, everybody. It is best bits time and we are counting down the top segments from the Bobby Bones show this week. Before we get into it, check out part one, part three. This weekend, Amy joins part one. We talk all about the boyfriends and get some details from both of us and how her kids are doing and just life in general. And then part three, we answer listener questions, as always, so check those out. But if you don't want to and you're just trying to catch up really quick on what happened on the show this week. Let's do it. Woohoo. Paris Hilton's media company is dropping a new podcast. So she called into the show and talked all about her many, many different ventures. She is involved in so many, so many things. And we also talked about her time on the Simple Life and being misunderstood for a lot of years. It was really cool to hear a different side of Paris number seven. Hey, Paris. How are you? I'm doing great. How are you doing? Pretty good. I was on my for you page this morning, and oddly, and maybe because they knew we were going to talk and they knew everything about us, I was watching the video of Jax and you were standing with Jax as she was playing this song about you, which I thought was super cool. And I think some of the things that she said was, you know, I talked about your IQ and your advocacy. I thought that was really cool. Who. Who approached who about that? Thank you. Jax came over to do my podcast and then we just did some cute social videos together and we've actually been friends for years. She wrote one of the songs on my last album, and I love her. She's just so kind, so sweet, so talented, and I'm so excited she's about to be a mom. Yeah, I think too, that showed a lot of what people are now learning about you in different ways. I think for me, what was really cool was when you were testifying on Capitol Hill, talking to Congress, and I think that was a lot of people's introduction to the version of you, like the real you, that now you want people to see is that description a bit accurate? The person that I always was, but it took time for me to become strong enough to be even able to speak about so many things that I went through. But then when I found out that there was hundreds of thousands of children every year from the foster care system being sent to these schools and being abused and dying in the name of treatment, and they had no voice, I knew that I needed to use my voice and. And do something about it. And I'm so incredibly proud of all of that work. And it's been the most healing experience of my life. Yeah. So after you did that, do you feel like there were some changes or at least there were some people that listened, that were making decisions that maybe weren't listening before you testified? Definitely. This is something that people have been trying to fight for so many years, but for so long they were ignored and not listened to or just, you know, swept under the rug. But when I came there and kept going back and forth to D.C. and speaking with all these senators and legislators and letting them know what's happening behind closed doors and then also bringing other survivors with me who had just gotten out of these places just to show that this has been happening for decades and it's something that people have just chosen to ignore for so long, but I come in and shine such a huge bright on it, light on it that, you know, gets all around the world that they can't ignore it or act like it's not happening. Where do you feel like the courage has come from? You mentioned the courage a few minutes ago that the courage that you have now to actually speak as yourself and for yourself for the first time. Where do you think the courage came from? From life experiences. Everything that I've been through in life has made me a very strong woman. And also just finding out and doing so much research and speaking to so many other survivors and just hearing the horrible things that are happening and how it's boomed into this $28 billion a year industry and children are being abused and just. It's just been heartbreaking to hear these stories. So just to know that I can help be the hero that I needed when I was a little girl and make a difference in these children's and their families lives gives me all the courage in the world. You're an entrepreneur in many ways. And again, Jax highlighted it in that video. A bit just and not specifically, but the macro version of it. Like so many things that you're doing. Why. Why be so involved in so many things? Success is something that really drives me as well as just creating. And I think also a big part of it is I have ADHD and I will literally hyper focus on things that I love. And I have so many different interests. And yeah, I love doing fashion, I love music, I love entertaining, I love making incredible products. I love using my voice to make a difference. I love just. I don't know, I just. I'm one of those people. I feel like you just, you only live once. You got to make the most of it. And I'm so proud of everything that I'm able to create and bring to the world. Were you good at math in school? Naturally, math was with my ADHD again, it was a class I did not enjoy at all. I was more into drama and art class. I guess I asked that because again, there's so much that you're doing and again, even making music. Right. It's not just because, again, you are now an accomplished DJ as well. And I think many, many years ago when you started to dj, people were like, oh, that's pretty cool. But now, you know, you do it on such a high level. It's not just like slamming songs together. Like, there is really a formula to being a really good dj. I guess that's why I asked a math question, was like, how does your brain work when you're mixing music that way? It just comes so naturally to me because I love music and I've loved music my entire life and plus just years of training of, you know, it's very technical when you're up there, but if you know it very well, you just can hear it right away. So it's just something that I've learned over the years and I think it's something that would come naturally. But then if I'm in like a classroom as a teenager, I was just so bored and just could not pay attention. But if it's something I love to do, yes. And plus with me, it's something that I would have to work hard to prove myself even harder. Just, you know, being a woman, being, you know, one of the first to, you know, kind of step into this arena. It's always been like a boys club. So, yeah, it feels amazing now to just be traveling and playing at the biggest music festivals all around the world for almost like 15 years now. And I'm really proud just how people see that I'm the real deal. Do you have like a practice, like a mixing station in your house? I have a pickleball court in the backyard, so I go practice Pickleball in the backyard. It's close. Do you have one, like near the kitchen that you just go practice on? I try to just have everything at my house. So I have like next to my podcasting studio there's a recording studio. So I have all my equipment there to record my album as well as my whole DJ set up with my CDJS and all of my equipment, or if I'm trying out new equipment, we'll bring it in. So, yeah, of course I'm always practicing my sets and just figuring out my favorite transitions and what I love. And then also creating other remixes and different mashups of like my favorite iconic kind of songs from like the 2000s, but then bringing in like a more futuristic vibe and adding in like epic drops. So that's something that I love to do. Your new podcast, since you didn't mention the studio, it's called My Friend Daisy A murder solved in DMs. So this is a true crime podcast. So this is a real story, right? Yes, this is a true crime podcast. So tell me a bit about the story. Basically, my team and I saw this article about it in the Cut and It's about this 19 year old girl named Daisy Dalo and she was murdered outside her apartment and the authorities could not, you know, make an arrest. They could not figure out who it was. And then her friends and family turned to TikTok and literally sparked a viral manhunt that helped track down the killer. And I thought that was amazing just to see this community come together and use digital activism to demand justice. And something that is important to me is giving people who a voice who don't have a voice. And I'm really just proud how hearing from the mother about how much this meant to her and all of her friends for Daisy to not be forgotten and for this man to be held accountable and just to raise awareness also against standing against domestic violence. And I just feel that women's voices are too often gone unheard. So this is something that's really important to me to just advocate for a world where every woman's story matters. Yeah. The podcast is called My Friend Daisy A murder solved in DMs whenever. And I want to go back to you testifying to Congress again. I think one of the memes was that you were just talking in a normal voice, like you're talking with me here. Do you feel that people are a little surprised whenever you're not talking in the old Paris Hilton character voice? Yeah, definitely. I think of people don't know Me or they're first getting to know me, they assume, you know, the voice and the character that I played on the Simple Life is how I am in real life. But that's just a character that I created back then because this was the first reality show ever, and the producers basically wanted Nicole to be the troublemaker. Paris, you kind of play the blonde airhead, so. And I think also just growing up, you know, during that time, I always looked up to women like Marilyn Monroe and Pamela Anderson, and they had, you know, this kind of baby breathy voice. And also just with all of the trauma I had been through as a teenager, being abused at these schools, I think it was also a trauma response to that as well, where I kind of just wanted to create this perfect Barbie doll life. And then all of a sudden, I get thrown, you know, doing the Simple Life, and then it becomes like this character that people get to know me for. So, yeah, I think it's just been a part of me for a long time, but it's not who I really am. Did you feel a bit typecast for a while in your early adult life that it was hard to actually not have to be that person? Yeah, for sure. You know, it wasn't until my documentary, this is Paris, where I, you know, started talking about everything in my life that I'd went through that. That was the first time that people, you know, really got to see me and the person I really was. But before, I think that people just would kind of look at me as almost like this cartoon character. And then now can people can see there's actually way more to me than I ever spoke about before. Do you think being a mom. Being a mom out a lot of those layers as well? Yeah, definitely. Just growing so much, and I am. My babies are my world, and they just bring me so much happiness, and I'm just really proud that I can finally be the person that I always was and always was meant to be. But now the world can see me for that because there's always been so much more to me, and I've always been underestimated and misunderstood, which I can understand. I was playing a character, and I think people didn't realize that I'm not a dumb blonde. I'm just very good at pretending to be one. Three final questions. Creating that blueprint as well. Yeah, I'm sorry. Sorry to speak over you there. Three final questions. The new remix. If the earth is spinning with Sia. I love Sia. Whenever you do a new remix, do you go and say, hey, hey, I'm gonna do this. Like, how do you actually go through the process with this remix album? And anytime I do something, I will a lot of the time just be at different festivals or I'll just like text my friends who are DJs or producers. I'll send them the album and say like, oh, I'd love for you to do a remix on bba. Or I want you to do this one for Chasen with me and Megan Trainor, the song that Sia and I wrote called adhd. So it's kind of just like thinking in my mind, my friends, which ones, like which type of remix I want for that, that certain song and just contacting the person or also I have my team, they'll send me a list of like other DJs and producers that they think would be great for, for these tracks. And then I listen to their music, see what I think and give them yes or no. So yeah, it's just, just like a process of just going through and, and picking the perfect people that I think for each one. I have a question about fragrances because I know again, you, you've built an empire with fragrance. Do you just smell stuff all day long when you're in the middle of this? Yeah, I just actually launched my 30th fragrance and it's called Iconic and I love perfume. I've been in the fragrance industries or this is the 20th anniversary. And yeah, the process is a lot of fun. Just sometimes going over to the perfumery and smelling all these different scents and notes and kind of having fun like mixing things together. But now, just after making 30 perfumes, I am definitely a pro. So I know all of my favorite notes and which ones I want to mix together and just create these beautiful fragrances and then designing the bottles and coming up with the names and the campaign and what the photos are going to be like. So that's one of my favorite parts about that, is just being creative and then seeing it come to life with this gorgeous bottle and this incredible scent and I'm just incredibly proud. Just the success of my perfumes. Final question. And again, everybody, my friend Daisy. A murder solved in DMS. Check out the podcast. It is a 10 part series that you can check out. I think it's a. It's true crime. So it's the true story. I loved and still do love. Stars are Blind. Do you still play that? Do you still, you know, are you still proud of it? Thank you. Yes. That song is such a huge part of my life. It's so timeless. It's so iconic. I love that. It brings so much happiness to everyone around the world. And I listen to it all the time. I was just on a cover shoot yesterday and they played it probably like 10 times. So people just anytime I'm around as well, or if I walk into like an event or a club or a party or anything, they'll always put it on. And I love performing it also at my concerts. It's always my favorite like finale ending song to perform. And I can't wait to perform it at world pride in D.C. coming up next month and then also at out loud at WeHo Pride next month too. So yeah, it's, it's my favorite song in the world. World Pride Festival in D.C. friday, June 6 Paris will be there. Yes, Paris, we really appreciate the time. Thank you so much. And thanks for advocating for the things that you do. You're making a big difference in a lot of lives. So thank you for our time, but mostly thank you for the time you're spending doing things bigger that's bigger than all of us. So hope you have a great rest of the day and maybe one day I'll see you soon. I would love that. And thank you for being so kind and lovely and I really appreciate you and I hope to meet you soon.

I've got a lot of health stuff going on right now, and I shared it on the show this week. And unfortunately, I think a lot of people out there are also dealing with this based on how many people responded and shared their stories. So you're getting a little update on what's been happening with my crazy body and the fact that it's falling apart. And I think I might be dying. Number six, I want to go talk to Morgan because she might be dying. So a lot of stuff happens with her health. She, like, had vertigo or she couldn't get out of bed. She's spinning around. She's had long Covid where. What sense do you not have back all the way? My smell and my taste is, like 90%. Your smell is at what percent? Oh, like zero. There's nothing there. Still zero. I think every time I get sick, it just keeps knocking it further back down. So all this stuff's happening to Morgan now. You started tasting something weird in your mouth? Yeah, I started tasting iron, like, out of nowhere. Like, all of a sudden, there's your iron taste in your mouth. Yeah. Which makes me think, like, was something in your mouth? Were you bleeding? No. I thought so. I, like, I went to the ran to the bathroom trying to, like, spit to see if any blood would come out. No blood. It was just an iron. Oh, blood tastes like iron. Yeah. Yeah, that's what that is. I've never eaten iron. I guess I didn't know. Well, I never. I've never even licked iron. You know when you, like, have a nosebleed and then you lick it. Well, I get nosebleed so bad. Yeah. That I get them down in my throat. Yeah, I've been. Yeah, I've been beat up too, so. Yeah, I tasted blood. Oh, okay, so it wasn't blood. No, I, Like, I. I was checking my whole mouth, thinking, like, hopefully I just, like, bit myself or whatever. And. No, not even a little bit. So not only is she tasting iron, another part of her body starts to. What? Then what hurts? Okay. So then my arm starts feeling. And I'm like, okay. There's like a random pain in my arm, and I'm like, okay, maybe I'm sore from a workout, but I hadn't really worked out in a few days because of all this going on, so I was like, this is random. It was just a shooting pain up my arm. What's happening? I don't know. Then now I have, like, rashes. I can't stop itching my legs. Like, you would think that I'm having an allergic outbreak on my legs because we were in Austin for the festival. I had to emergency get Benadryl sent to my room because I started breaking out in hives all over. Oh, yeah. She texted me asking if I had any Benadryl, and I was like, no, but I guess that's why. But that's not a weird ask. You're acting like she asked for meth. No, but I'm like, Amy's like, what? You want what? I don't know. I guess I just thought she had a little bit of allergies. I didn't know her body was itching all over. So, common causes of metallic or iron taste. Number one is blood in the mouth, which you say that didn't happen. Number two is medications, if you're on any new ones. Now, you have been dealing with a lot of stuff. Are you on new medications this could happen with. No. I was taking Zofran when I was dealing with my vertigo, but that wasn't unusual for me. There's two more. Uh. Oh, am I dying? No. Probably gets worse, huh? But another one is neurological causes. We do know there's stuff happening in my brain. Yes. And stuff due to your illness as well. Yeah, but rare. But certain neurological conditions or even head trauma can affect taste interpretation in the brain. Interpretation. So, yes, you're having neurological issues, but. Because that's what vertigo is, right? Yeah. Vertigo is part of, like. It's all up there. And, like, taste and smell are supposed to be connected neurologically, too. So I do feel like something is happening to My brain. Because sometimes you guys have heard it, where I just kind of, like, can't say a word that I used to be able to say, and I'm like, okay. Apparently, I forgot how to pronounce that. So something definitely is going on with me neurologically. And the last one, I don't know if I want to say. Hey, say it. It's just a doctor's duty. It's not you. And I am a doctor. And if you're a new listener, I literally am a doctor. Correct. So of letters. But I. I'm not an MD. I'm a PhD. That's. Isn't that. Of letters. But I'm a PhD. Yeah. Yeah. Not an MD, not a medical doctor, but I'm a doctor. Okay, stop. Stop taking me down. Sorry, I didn't know. I just meant. I was like. If you just let me say, PhD, listeners will be like, that's so cool. ADHD is so cool. Yeah. But of letters, that's stupid. That's what I am. Oh, I thought that that sounded prestigious. I'm just a big, stupid head. Okay, Morgan, ready? I'm ready, I guess. Do you want me to say it or no? I mean, yeah. I don't have any answers, so the taste of iron in your mouth could be. Oh, no. What is it, man? Pregnancy? Pregnant. Oh, hi, Nelly. Oh, my goodness. Oh, God. Hormonal changes, especially in the first trimester, can make women more. What did you just say? Did you just say mester? Did I do what Amy did and say it at the same time? Yeah. Okay. Okay, cool. Just making sure. Sorry, I'm just wild. Yeah. Yeah. Morgan is pregnant. She is not. Can make women more sensitive to metallic taste. It's. I'm on birth control, so, like, I feel like that would be birth control. It is not. I feel pretty confident in my. Should we take the test? No, that's the bit. Oh, my God. I used to do that. So stupid. Oh, yeah. Like, what was wrong with us? What if it would have been positive? I know. Oh, my God. I know. We're such idiots. We were pretty dumb. I don't even know. Like, I was like. Okay. I guess I'm just, like, 0% considering my husband at this moment. Okay. I think you're okay. Based on all the research that I've done, other than it being, like, acid reflux. There are, like, sinus Covid cold infections also that pop up a little bit, but I think you're okay. Maybe, like, zinc and B12 would help you out. I am thinking, you know how many Supplements I've been trying to take. Like, I feel like my. And none of it's really new. Like, I've been trying to just amp up all the supplements that I was already taking. And I just feel like I'm. And I got all my blood work back and everything was fine. Did you tell your doctor? Yeah. And we tested for everything. Immune compromised. We test for B12, vitamin D, iron. Everything was great. And where was the pain in my arm and what it felt like? It just kind of felt like a shooting pain up my arm. And the pain. Shooting an arm. Okay, nurse. She has iron taste. And the pain shooting in her arm. So I got my nurse online over here. Good, good, good. Okay. Is that chat GPT? Yeah. What every good doctor has. Yeah, yeah. Trust me, it's all they're using anyway. Yeah. Here are a few possibilities listed. Number one, possible heart related issue, Heart attack or angina. Oh, no, not angina. Not angina. It's angina. We went from pregnancy to angina. Not. That's how you get pregnant. That's true. And your angina. Next up, migraines or neurological events. I'm leaning toward that. Lots of neurological stuff happening in my body and. Oh. What? There it is. Did you find it? Shut up again. Because I got another one. Number three. Nerve. Compression or injury. Oh, like a pinch nerve. Oh, I do. I've been having problems with my shoulder, too. Oh, no. My body's falling apart. Have you hit your head? Have you. Have you checked your angina lately? What exactly is the angina? Is the tingling in your arm. Oh, I thought you did stir up. No, it's not. Amy. Trust us, guys. We know what an angina. We know. We've seen a few anginas in our day. No. Okay, angina. Sorry. Chest pain. Discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get. Okay, we're 12. A doctor can't be 12. I'm sorry, Morgan. I've not been professional. I hope that you get it figured out. Obviously, you're going through a lot right now. That sucks. Yeah. I would just really like answers. It'd be really nice if I could find some form of an answer. We gave you a lot of answers. They might not be the right ones, but we gave some good ones. The words she's been messing up, though. That's. I mean, she's been doing that. I mess up every time I talk here. I. I pronounce things wrong. That's on purpose. But there's some things that, like, I try and read a word and it's not even registering correctly in my brain, even a little bit. That's my life. Yeah, well, and numbers. Well, maybe I'm dyslexic. Should we put on the death clock with Eddie? She has her own death clock. Cuz Eddie's going to die in like a thousand days when I turn 72. Yeah, we're written for you, Morgan. That's what we say. Hey, we're rooting for you, kid. Hey, good luck, Morgan. So I need to go take some tests. I know we gave you all the tests you need. You're good to go. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, Lunchbox is disgusted with Eddie. This is a new word I use. Not often do I say that one. Normally they have their little tiffs, but this time, true disgust is happening. And it's all because of something Eddie said that he allows his wife to do. And after hearing that, Lunchbox truly cannot believe his ears. Number five. I want to talk about money for a second. And I want to talk about people judging other people for money. Decisions where I thought Eddie was pretty vulnerable. And he said that he doesn't know anything about how much money that his family has and makes. You know, what you make, but your wife does all financials, everything. Lunchbox thinks that is the weirdest, most feminine thing he's ever heard. Why, Dude? Because you're the man. Like, you are the one that goes to work and brings home the money and you don't even know how much you have in there or where it goes. You let the woman of the house, who. Who's smart. Yeah, okay, great. She can be smart all she wants. More than me. Let her control the money. That is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard. When you said it, I was. My mouth almost hit the floor that you said, I don't know how much money we have. I let her handle everything. That is crazy. Who? Wait, wait, wait. I. I got. I mean, nobody jumped in. You were still talking. There was no need to make us wait. Go ahead. Go ahead. Like, how do you. You look at yourself in the mirror and say, man, I'm a man. When you have no idea how to control your money, you don't know what to do with your money. You don't know where it goes. How do you, like, live with yourself? Okay, I don't think that makes me a man. Knowing where my money, who's spending my money. The term's weird, but go ahead. So that's not it. I think my wife is way smarter than I Am. When it comes to numbers, I have dyscalcula, which is a terrible disease that I've been living with. My whole terrible disease is it's not a disorder. And I've been living with this my whole life. And thankfully my wife takes this burden on and does all our finances. And she's good at it and I trust her with it. And it has nothing to do with me being a man or not. Yes. Lunchbox question. Before you got married to your wife, right. What did you have to do for you in or in order to marry your wife? Buy a ring? No. You had to go to your father in law and say, what is he leading the witness here? Because that's. No, he's asking you a question. I'm asking you to answer it. Or play the fifth. But playing the fifth looks awfully guilty. No, I mean, I know what the answer is. I told my father in law that she has debt. And before we get. So she has debt. The woman that was in so much debt, she was also a kid. You're like 18 years old. My money, Honey, I don't care. I don't need to see it. That is crazy. And who brings home the bacon? You or her? Not answering that. Who brings home the cheddar? I would say I bring home the majority of the cheddar. And you let her control all the cheddar? Yeah. That is a crazy. Why? Like, how does it. So what's your situation? What do you do? Go ahead. And she has hers. I wouldn't let her get her paws on my money. Oh, my gosh. And if she did get her paws on my money, guess who would control it? Me. Like when you were growing up, who controlled the money? My dad. Oh, my. Shocking. Your dad? My wife. Shocking. I mean. And you. Oh, my gosh, dude, it's just the way it's been, man. I don't know what to tell you. A sad sight, dude, you and I mean, I make fun of Bobby for a lot of feminine things. You take the cake now. Oh, you have the cake now. That's awesome. Oh, wow. I'm with Lunchbox Eddie. You suck. What's the flavor of the cake? What's the flavor of the cake? I don't know. Whatever the women want. She makes the decisions. Ask your wife. All right. Hey, so what's more feminine? The fact that my wife drives a lot of times on a ride. Passenger. Oh, my gosh. That's bad too. Yeah, yeah. But the money thing is the worst. Money is the. The leader in the clubhouse. Okay, like that is where the top of the ladder is. Money. I do carry a bag. A purse. Money's worse. Okay. Okay. Eddie, do you know your account password? Could you log in? I have to look it up. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I have to look it up, guys. I don't have it on the top of my head. No, no, I mean, Amy, what are your thoughts here? I mean, I think that Lunchbox is ridiculous saying his wife can get her paws on his money. Like, I don't know how they live so separately, but they've been doing it fine. Does. I could never live how Lunchbox lives at all. Um, and I think Eddie's just doing the best that he can. Like, he understands his. His weakness and it's his wife's strength. So I do think, Eddie, you should take some agency and try to be involved. I think that that's good. Just in case anything were to ever happen, you would know what to do. Because I was in a similar situation in my marriage and I had no idea. Amy, if you're dude now, if you guys down the road decide, hey, we're going to get down on knee, we're going to get married, and he comes in and goes, amy, I want you to control all the money. You. Why are you doing like, loose wrists as you do this? You'd be like, man, that is not very attractive. That is so bad. Like, that looks bad on him. I don't know that that looks bad on him. I think I would be more like, if he came to me and said, hey, I want to keep everything separate and I don't want your paws on my money. What I would say is, you do what works for you. In every relationship, you do what works for you. And Eddie has a disorder, terrible disorder. He does have discount. He has this calculated. He found this out a week ago and now he's using it. Doesn't mean. It doesn't mean I didn't struggle it with it my whole life. True, true. I don't think it is what Lunchbox is saying. You know, I think you guys have a way that your relationship works and has worked for a long time. You've been married for, oh, it's gonna be 20 years. 20 years. It's kind of weird, you know the passwords, though. Yeah, I mean, they had their stored somewhere. I gotta just look them up. Yeah, all good. Do it, do it. Do what works for you. Like my DraftKings account. I handle all that. Gambling accounts. He's good with numbers on gambling. He can lay some lines. She can keep her paws off my draft kings account. Very manly of you, buddy. Okay, okay. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, the American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.

Sometimes I think, how is this my job? And this is one of those segments where I definitely thought this. Amy says she's a ketchup connoisseur of Heinz specifically. So the show decided to put her to a test and she did a blind taste test of all kinds of ketchups, and she had to find The Heinz number four. Amy does not know the challenge that's about to happen, but she claimed that she can nail Heinz ketchup by just tasting it blindly. Because the whole story was, I used to wait tables, and we just refill the ketchup bottles, even if it was a Heinz with whatever. We'd get it in bulk and just dump it in there. It never really was the same brand. And she was shocked. And she was shocked. Listen to this. This is her. Okay, well, back up. You're telling me if you had a Heinz ketchup bottle on a table, you would fill it with whatever cheap stuff I would be able to know. You wouldn't. Yes. Yes. Not one time in the history of me waiting tables did someone raise their hand and go, this is not great. Poupon. Okay, well, they're not a ketchup connoisseur. Oh, boy. So let's see if she's a ketchup connoisseur, because we'll walk her in, we have four spoons with four different kinds of ketchup in it, and if she doesn't get it, she gets put on the will of punishment. And, boy, do we have some good punishments for her coming up next week. All right, bring her on in. Now. She will not be blindfolded yet. We'll let her look at it briefly, and all she sees is what? Yeah, don't let her stare at them. You can. You can look. You can sit at your table. Where are you going? Okay, blindfold her now, Scuba. Don't let her stare anymore. I thought I was gonna have to. I forgot this. So we played the clip back. That's why we didn't tell you. We played the clip back of you saying you're a ketchup connoisseur. I am a ketchup connoisseur. Would have known. So we have four spoons. These are black plastic spoons. Each spoon has. Where's Abby? What? Why are you asking about Abby? She's a. She's a connoisseur of. Why would. Why did you yell, where's Abby? Because she put on my. I was blindfolded, ready to go. And then I was told, you don't have to yell louder because you have a blindfold on. Oh, it's so. It's so weird because sometimes when one of your senses is taken away, your other ones are heightened. Yeah. Okay, so there are four spoons in front of you. Hey, Scuba, have Abby come in and feed her the spoons, because if Amy puts her hands down, it's Gonna go right into the ketchup. So that's why she was looking for Abby. I think she just didn't feel comfortable with Scuba aggressively tying her head up. Got it. So, Amy, you have four spoons in front of you, and you can pick the number 1, 2, 3, or 4. One of them is Heinz. The other three or three different random brands. Okay. If you win, you. We will declare you are the master of the kitchen connoisseur or the ketchup connoisseurs. If you lose, you're on the Wheel of Punishment next week. Wheel of Punishment. You can't make a bold statement like you just did and not be up for will of punishment. Okay. My dad used to say that ketchup or was the fruit of the sea. No, but, like, good quote, good quote by your dad. Something like food was just a carrier for me to get ketchup in my body. Yeah, food's like a conduit for ketchup. Conduit. That's the word. That's not a great saying. That's what he would say about me. My love for ketchup. Heinz, specifically. Okay, Amy, you have four spoons full of ketchup. Pick a number. One, two, three, or four. Okay. Do I get to try them all and then tell you? Correct. Okay. Okay. One. Okay. Abby, would you hand her the stick for one? Amy, put your hand out. This is the stick for one. If I don't know what they are, why can't I look at them? Because they're. They're colored slightly different. Okay. And if. No, no, you have to hand it to her from the. You're gonna have to feed her. Why would she hand it. Oh, no, there's ketchup everywhere. No, feed her. Okay, now you got it. There you go. Okay, Amy's eating spoon number one. That itself I want to throw off. So weird. You can just do a tongue in it. I can tell you one thing that. Not Heinz or Thuffer and Thucker. Dash. Why do you have a lisp all of a sudden? So you don't think number one is Heinz? No, that. That I have a list because it's sour. Okay. Sour. Okay. Would you like number two, or did you go a different number? How do I clean my palate? Can we get her water? Right? Get her water. 2. Yeah, we can get a. We can get a little water. A little water coming at you right now we throw it at her. 2. Do you want to clean your palate first or. No, it's fine. Okay, let's go with number Two. And you could also say it could be, and you'll come back to it going with a spoon. Number two, she's just nibbling, which is better than the last time she went full in. She parked the car fully in the garage at number one. It's like she's scared to eat it now. Yeah, well, it's just ketchup now. I'm using. I'm using my tongue to check out the texture. Amen, sister. Oh, boy. Okay, I don't know. Okay, so two is standing by. I don't think so, but maybe. Okay, so I don't know if I have aftertaste of one. You have a water coming at you. Okay. Abby squirts in her face like a football player. Okay, there you go. Clean night. Palate out. Amy was number two thou. It was sour as one. Number three, please. Okay, number three. So number two is still in the running, but she's gonna go number three. Oh, don't. No, no. She has a white shirt on too. I know. Real smart. Well, she didn't know. She had no idea. Her eating method is so weird now. Well, it's blind. She's blindfolded. She's just dipping her tongue in the even eating it. But it's just ketchup. Guys, you're acting like she needs to take a full spoon. Interesting. She's going back in. She did a little smell. Oh, I think she's. She's digging on three a little bit. It has some flavor to it that I'm not interesting. Probably Ketchup flavor? No, like a. Like a aftertaste I don't recognize. Oh, it's like wine. I think this was 2023 from the region of Des Moines. She's shaking the ketchup. Okay, three, are you eliminating it or keeping it for later? I don't know. So you're keeping it for later. Water. Now she's demanding on the ground or the table, so so far she's trying to find Heinz ketchup. I think doing one first ruined me. It was so sour. Okay, so one is out of the running, but two and three are still in the running. Let's go to number four. Do we have any French fries or something? We're fresh out of French fries. Yeah, we ate them all before you got here. It's like the movies. We ate everything before the movie started. Okay, Amy, final. This is number four of the ketchups. She smells familiar. Shea smells familiar. I like the way you call her she. Oh. Oh. How's she taste? Does she taste familiar? Oh, that's not her. Okay, so hold on. Amy, is. Is. She's going like a lizard, but really slow with her tongue like it's a lizard. Like, I don't hate it, but I don't. Yeah. Is it Heinz? She's going back again. That's not Heinz. Okay, so one. Oh, now it's terrible. Like, you're just liking it, I think. I actually, I've been trying to just do the. That's salsa. Just do the tip. But I need more. Hey. Okay, now. Okay, so one and four dead. So we're gonna go back to two and three, the two that Amy has. The captain. She's having a drink of water. Can she identify the Heinz? Ketchup. She's a ketchup connoisseur. Let's go back to number two, please. Abby, if you'll hand her number two. Oh, scared me. I just stuck your hand in it. All right. Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry about that. Go ahead. Amy, don't. Don't peek, Amy, don't peek. She's using an old sniffer. She's sniffing it up now. She's going. A little tongue. Where is it? You gotta get the spoon in your mouth. There you go. There she is. There she is. Yeah, that's her. How's she tasting? Okay. She did the head. Like, ah, it could be. Okay, so then she gonna test three. Now let her clean that palate real quick, and then she'll make her decision. You've already eliminated one and four. She may need to go back to four. She liked her. I really hope I don't let my family down. You think they'll be let down? You think they care after this? Here we go. Here's back to number three. Oh, she went deep into it. She hit herself in the forehead with the spoon. Oh, she likes that one. It's just a weird little. It's a weird. Listen, let me tell you. Go ahead. If one of these is something, I promise you nothing. I let. Trust me, they tried that bit, and I said, no, we're not putting something that's not ketchup in it. Oh, I know. They're all ketchup. We didn't pee in it. Nothing like that. But if one of them is like a knockoff, they did a good job. I thought she was gonna say, like, you messed with it because we'd have done that prank too. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, I'd be. I'd sue you. I know you wouldn't. Yeah. Good luck. Can I have two, please? She's going Back to two. She wants them at the same time. Yeah. Double fisting. I've never seen someone. Oh, okay, she's got him up. Oh, go ahead. And there's. She's shaking. She's so nervous. She's put two back in her mouth. Okay. Texture of two is. Just seems a little thicker. Yeah. All right, and then let's go back to three. I mean, she likes two, but I don't know. But three sounds great. Except for the aftertaste. There's like, a weird aftertaste on three. Apparently, she keeps. Now she's rubbing her face with the ketchup. Snorting it. There's a different way to do it. Okay, the texture of two on my lip. It doesn't feel like Heinz. So your answer is. But, gosh, it sort of tastes like it. It's pretty too sweet. Amy, did you say three has the aftertaste? Three has, like, this weird tang thing happening, like a spice in it. That doesn't seem familiar, but maybe because I'm blindfolded. You're blindfold heightened. But, like, if I were to. Can I touch it with my finger? Sure. Amy. That feels like Heinz. Wait, what have you been doing with ketchup? What in the world? You feel it? Did the other one feel like Heinz? Let me see. She's like, can I rub this over my body? Where's two? Oh, yeah, that's too thick. It's too thick. Okay, so that, too is too thick. So your answer is. I guess it's three. Your answer is three. Are you committed to three? I'm committed to three. Okay, so you can take your blindfold off, and we can give her a napkin. Right. To wipe all that off. Yeah, you take and you get the blindfold. I mean, what is the blindfold? That's someone's shirt. That's Lunchbox's underwear from soccer. That's a big. That's where the prank was. No, it's a Pimp and Joy shirt. I don't want to put ketchup on it. Okay, so number one, which Amy eliminated quickly, was this bottle here of Whole Foods Organic Tomato Ketchup. Oh, so number one, it was not Heinz. She knew from the start that wasn't Heinz. Good job. She's still in the mix. Good job. Hey, Amy, you're good. Amy, you can take the blindfold off, right? Yeah. Bishop, she likes it like this. Yes. Well, I was cleaning my hands. I mean, you can take it off her, for. She prefers us blindfolded. She does the rest of the. Hold on. Now that I've selected it. I want to see it with my eyes because. Oh, I feel pretty good. Oh, my gosh. Shoot. Is it four? It's not. Do you want to change your mind after seeing it? Oh, she can't do that. No, I can't do that. I don't think that'd be fair. But now that I. Because this is regulated by the government and there's a scholarship on the line. Guys, three looks a little dark. Well, so does Eddie. And, you know, you keep him. You like me. Hold on. I know. I can't change my answer. You know, you literally can change. You literally can change if you want. She's going back to four. Now she's going back to three. What did she pick? Three. Three. But now she's going back to four. Now she feels like it's four. And I will let her change if she wants to. Four. Tangy. Four tangy. Four tangy. Four tangy. Four tangy. Four tangy. Is she having a stroke? Okay, I'm gonna stick with three. Okay. I'm gonna stick with three. Okay. So number two, which you did not pick, is something called Rao's Ketchup. Made from home. Roma tomato. Okay. Homemade. I guess they will not be a sponsor now. Oh, no. They got good spaghetti sauce. They do. They do. No, two. I was debating between two and three. Okay. And so she picked three, sweating. But then she went to four, then back to three. And you're settling with three. I'm settling with three. Amy, the ketchup connoisseur has selected number three as Heinz ketchup. Yes. At number three, Heinz ketchup. And it's organic. That's tricky, because it does taste different. Heinz tomato, ketchup, organic. Amy is the greatest ketchup connoisseur. Wow. What was four? Primal Kitchen. Number four was Primal Kitchen. I knew it. Because I buy that sometimes trying to be, you know. We found her skill, guys. Oh, my God. I know, I know. Mind blown. Yeah. Amy, we will never doubt you again. Thank you. You gotta find a way to monetize this. Wow. This is like Joey when you found the hand, the twin. Hands on friends. The guy that had the hand twin. I will say I think I struggled a bit because the Heinz you have is organic. It does taste different. Yeah. Okay. You're the winner than the OG. You have no punishment. You be celebrated today, and your family's proud. And now she's eating it again. I'm throw up. Okay, we're out. Yes. Let's. The best bits of the week with Morgan. Number Two, this one is tough because somebody's really upset about this and somebody else is really happy, and it all involves a game show. Number three. My grandma and I used to watch Wheel of Fortune all the time. I was terrible at it. I was good at Jeopardy. I watched that every day by myself. But I watched Wheel of Fortune, and my grandma, who was, like, 70, would dominate me. That would be the one show that I think I'd say no to, because I would go on and embarrass myself, and I would be bad at it. Oh, are you good at it? I mean, I'm not totally terrible, but I would say yes just so that I could spin the wheel. Yeah, I'd rather not go on and finish last. Like, it'd be like, what am I gonna get into the world's strongest man competition against those other big dudes just because I want to be on tv? No way I'll get dominated. Oh, yeah. I just think it'd be fun. So, Wheel of Fortune. How good are you? One to ten? Let me think about it. Probably five. Okay. I'm. I'm a two. Two. Oh, there's no way you're a two. I'm a two. No, no, no. You're doing. No, I appreciate that, but I'm awful at that. No way. You're too. Eddie. You think you're pretty good, huh? Pretty good. I'd say seven. Yeah, because you can spin the wheel over and over and keep guessing letters. I mean, but you. Whenever there's like. But you're not gonna win that way. You have to actually know the puzzles. I mean, but you say seven. I'd say seven. I'm pretty good. I love how Eddie and I are higher than. You were both dyslexic. I showed you how weak I am, though. Lunchbox. Will of Fortune. How. How good do you think you are? Honestly? I hate to admit it, but I'm a one. Okay, there you go. Like, I'm an absolute one. I watch that, and they'll get it, and I'm just like, oh, that's crazy. I don't know how you knew that. I don't know what that is. Cool. Next. So we have a friend named Brent who runs our radio station in Bakersfield, and Brent has been on a bunch of game shows. And so they reached out to Brent and said, hey, do you have anybody you'd recommend to be on Wheel of Fortune? Stop. Stop. Well, Are you freaking kidding me? You're not going to be mad. Lunchboxes. You're not good. I don't care a one. I'll still go on there. But who did he ask? Who do you recommend? Wait, what? I. Well, I. You can't. Are you second guessing you're five now? No, not at all. I'm thinking, like, you're going to. If you send somebody other than Lunchbox, this is going to be a no. He's. He's never said he's been good, so. Yeah, but he loves games. He just said he was bad. Who cares? And he's the one who said he was good. And I didn't even know about this, so I should go. Wait a second. Bobby should go. No, I'm not going. I'm out. I tapped out. I would not want to do. What's the deal? Okay, so who do you think, if we were sending, someone should go be on Wheel of Fortune? Lunchbox. Even though he sucks and admits it, he's going to embarrass us trying to put him on a game show. We haven't been. He has. We've tried. We tried 100 times to get him to go out there. He won't do it. Okay, fine. Send me. How disappointed are you gonna be if it's not you? Gosh, I feel like my grandma would be so proud of me if I went on there. Yeah, so I feel like your grandma. No. Okay. Would you be disappointed, Eddie, if it wasn't you? I mean, now I would be. Yeah. Lunchbox. Why? I would be a 10 out of 10 disappointed because I am made for that. I am made for game shows. Like, I may not be great, but at least it's going to be dramatic when I spin that wheel. And I guess. And if I don't get it right, I'm going to fall off the stage. I mean, they need me. A Wheel of Fortune. Oh, my gosh. Like, if they want, like, maybe they'll have a Battle of the bads. Whatever. Just put me on. What a terrible show. Battle the Bad. Nobody ever gets it. Four episodes. Four episodes later. I don't know, Ryan, do you believe in miracles? Like, do you. I mean, that's. He just said he was a 1 out of 10. The underdog story of me going on Wheel of Fortune and coming home with $500,000. Okay, I need to get to what we're doing here. So I have the email because they reached out to Brent and said, do you have any referrals as we are casting Wheel of Fortune? Okay. Do you have referrals? I didn't write it. So he sent you that, being like, Bobby. So do you have referrals? No, he said, I sent this. Just wanted you to know. Oh, he. He sent it on his own? Yeah. He made the decision. Okay, come on. He said, hey, Richard, who is the head of casting? Someone to talk to for sure as you are casting. And he writes the person's name. He's married and is a dad. So, Amy, that takes you out? Yeah, I'm a divorced mom. He works. Wait for it. In radio on a national syndicated show based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Is really funny with a great personality. Hold on, Lunchbox. That could be me. That's definitely not you, Eddie. Hold on. He has a lot of energy. He will be great on the show. Well, Eddie does go whoa a lot. Yeah, yeah, I could do that on the show. I gotta start practicing. He is a big Dallas Cowboys fan. Let's go. What? Oh, my goodness. This is going to be problematic. I don't even want to. Hold on. He's a big Dallas Cowboys fan and loves to cook. Oh, my God. You can reach out to him. And he gave the email and your cell phone number. So if you get a call, it will not be spam. When was this sent? Because I did get a call yesterday that I did not. From what area code? It was from Michigan. Oh, I don't know. Michigan. Probably not. And I mean, I didn't find it. I don't know. It might be okay, but I'd be looking out for it, but. Yeah, I know. That's it. He said it about Eddie. Wow, this is amazing. I've never thought about being on Wheel of Fortune, but you said you're a seven, so you're the person that deserved it the most. This makes sense. Okay, so everybody gets 10 seconds. Amy, 10 seconds. What would you like to say? Well, Eddie, I'm excited for you. Wait, he's not on it. Just was recommended to the casting director. Okay. And Lunchbox, I feel really bad for you. I don't know. I feel torn. I don't know how to act like I would be excited for Eddie, but that just sucks because Eddie hasn't been dying to get on a game show. And Lunchbox has, so it's. Lunchbox hasn't been. Because he's done absolutely nothing to get on a game show. He talks about it, right? Everybody talks talk. So I don't feel bad for him because we've given him opportunities. We even said you can take time off work and go to LA and try to get it. And he doesn't do it It. So I don't feel bad for him. Okay. It's like, his business deals. He always has ideas. He never does it. So I don't feel bad for people who don't actually try what they want. Okay. I do. Great. But this is cool. I mean, we should probably train. He hasn't made it, guys. I know, but just in case, like, you know how. Also, I had nothing to do with it. And secondly, I'm glad when you guys said, how good are you? Because if Lunchbox said 9, I'd have felt bad. That's where I would have felt bad, because I thought he was the best. I don't feel bad because he talks a bunch of crap and then. But I would have felt bad had he been like, yeah, I'm really good. I'm a nine at this. I've been like, oh, and if I go, I'm trying to win it. I'm not trying to be in the battle of the bad. Battle of the bat. He. He just created battle of bads concept. Amy. True. Okay, well, whatever. We could. They. How do you train? They have at home Wheel. He hasn't made the game yet, so. Yeah. So I would answer every unknown call. Ten seconds, Lunchbox. Go. It's a joke. I mean, you want to talk about personality? Eddie has no personality. He doesn't have thoughts of his own. Bobby's not going to be there to tell him to guess this, and he won't know what to do. I don't know how he's going to do it. I mean. Oh, yeah, I'm Eddie. He has nothing. What's. Whoa. That's so stupid. It's just because they're both Cowboys fans that he recommended. Oh, I think. I think Brett's a 49ers fan. I don't think he's a Cowboys fan. So dumb. It is so dumb. He gives up on his arguments so quick. Eddie, anything you want to say? This is real easy, Lunchbox. You suck. You suck. They picked me. They haven't picked you yet. Some dude in California, some guy that runs a radio station picked you. No. Casting director. You know, Brett. Why are you saying some dude? I mean Brent. Okay. You know. Oh, my gosh. That's why Amy didn't get picked. I know. Stop. I know. Brent. I don't know why I just said Brent. Hey, Allison over here, she said I'm dyslexic, that you. That had nothing to do with the name. I know, but you read the name. You know the name. Okay, I know the name is Brent. I don't. Sometimes. Y' all ever mess up and I also caught that myself. Okay, look, this is awesome. Maybe we try to get him on Monday or something to see what's up. See, maybe we talk to the casting director and maybe why he decided to go this route. Yeah, maybe that's why I just called him Brett, because he also didn't pick me. Okay. Okay. Although Amy's score was higher than lunchboxes. Yeah, it was. He said one, so it doesn't bother me. If had he said nine, I would have been bothered and my grandma would have been so good. Okay, your grandma's not coming back to life. My grandma would have been excited too. We can't bring her back.

There was a murder trial in our studio. Somebody shared the news that a living being in their home is now dead, and they think they are to blame for it. So we put him on trial. It was a court case. I gotta live out my Legally Blonde moment. And Lunchbox was our prosecutor. Super interesting. If you wanna also watch this, go to our YouTube page, obbybone. Show while you're there. Also subscribe number two, we're about to have a court case right here in studio. I have my gavel. Oh, so the Karen Reid trial's happening. I'm into it. I'm watching it. That's not what we're doing here, but I'm very much in the court mode. Amy's bird is dead. So Amy had a pet bird. Not the cardinal. That's her mom. Those die all the time. Thank goodness. Yes, but the pet bird that you bought for your daughter. I didn't buy it. It was a gift from her best friend. Whoa. Save it for the case. Well, no, this part's fine. I mean, that is an important detail. Yeah, but you didn't buy it, though, correct? Yeah. So the bird's dead, and so was it a homicide? That's the question. Was it an accidental death? That's the question. Amy, we're have you come sit up here in the stand. And we do have the prosecution, which is Lunchbox, who's going to prove Amy murdered the bird. Boom. Interesting. And then we have the defense, which is Morgan, and she will prove Amy had nothing to do with the bird dying, that there's many ways the bird could have died. And so I'll be the judge. Jury. All right. Up first. Prosecution always goes first. Please come on. Up. The prosecution. Lunchbox, everybody. Do they clap in court? I don't think so. They should, though. That would be awesome. Be like wrestling. We need, like, an entrance. Hello. Yes, Lunchbox. Hold on. I got all rise. Wrong timing. We need to really stand up. Yeah, all rise. Okay, Lunchbox, you're gonna have, like, two minutes or so. Two to three minutes. And you're here to prove that Amy killed her bird. And the bird's name was Chris Hemsworth. Why was it called that? That's what my daughter named it. Okay. Because she's a fan. No play on words or anything. No Literally. Chris Hemsworth, the actor, got it. Yeah. I guess her and her friends, they think he's cute. So her best friend gifted her the bird, and they named him Chris Hemsworth. We ordered the bird a little a rest in peace rock. So when we bury it, we put the rock on it, and. And it says, RIP Chris Hemsworth, April 2025 to May 2025. Dang, that's a quick life. Yeah, but was it a life ended way too soon by murder? We'll find out. You got two minutes, and you're up. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, this is not negligent homicide. This is premeditated murder by Ms. Amy Brown right here. This bird was not brought into her house by her. She did not give permission to go out and buy a bird. The bird was given to her family, put in her house. And she's like, I don't want this stupid bird in my house. So if you check her Google searches. Oh, let's check. She thinks, how can I get rid of the bird and not make it obvious? And it says, incense. Very bad for birds. Can cause a slow death by poisoning over time. Now, hold on now. Are you making this up? No. Okay, so what? What? So again, state what you just said. I said incense and candles cause birds to die slowly because the chemicals get in their body. They don't have lungs. They need pure air. Birds don't have lungs? No, they have air sacs. Air sacs. Wow. So they need even cleaner air than most animals and humans. So Amy knew this, and she said this chemical will seep down the hallway, and slowly the bird will inhale it, and it won't be obvious when it is belly up and dead, deceased. I don't want to be cleaning that cage. My daughter's not going to clean it. So this is an annoyance that I'm gonna have to deal with. It drives the dog crazy. The dog wants to get the bird. The cat wants to get the bird. So Amy is always stressed out, so she has to get rid of Chris Hemsworth. She tries to act like she's sad. She says, oh, Stashira, cry on my shoulder. Please don't touch her. You're the prosecution. Yes. He's touching Amy. Don't touch her. We will cry together. But deep down, Amy's going. It's not even a cry. It's a guttural laugh. You have 10 seconds, council. It's how the bird died. It was premeditated murder, not negligent homicide. Send her to prison. Wow. Maybe the Dutch. Maybe we kill her. By incense. Oh, wow, wow, wow. Okay, so I'm. A couple questions. Yes, go ahead. So your claim as the prosecution is Amy purposefully burned incense and candles in her house, knowing that the bird would then basically suffocate or be poisoned by them? Yes. It would damage the air sacs inside the bird, causing it to go belly up. And you said there were some Google searches. Do you know that I have had reports? What does that mean? My data experts told me they got a experts thing of their. Her search history. She didn't understand how to delete it. Got it. Okay, there he is, your prosecution lunchbox. Okay, can I ask a witness if I lived on your computer, is any Google searches about how to kill a bird or how a bird dies? You will have to let her answer. No, you got to let her answer. She said yes. No, that's got to let her. Let her walk the plank. Okay, so my point is, if you were to look for my searches, you will see. Will incense kill a bird? Oh, no. How long do they die in the cold? I've already seen that. No more questions, your honor. You are dismissed. Oh, wow. Sorry. No. No further answers. Your defense attorney's about to come up. You gotta wait for cross. Yeah, relax. You gotta get crossed. Okay. Do we need to even hear the defense? You know what? This is America. No, we don't. Lock her up. Lock her up. Lock her up. Okay, now, my team. Pink. Now. Now. Coming up to the stand, Amy's defense attorney, Morgan. Morgan, why are you giggling? I don't know. It was just a very strong prosecution. I just want to see how you're gonna follow up the prosecution. Don't even ask the defendant any questions until the very end. Okay, so you'll have two minutes, and then you get to ask the defendant a couple questions first. And then do my 10 minutes. I need you to do your two minutes first. Okay. Same. Same order as Lunchbox. I didn't give him that option. Wow. You nugget. Okay, Morgan, you're up. Did you just call him a nugget? What a great job, mister. Don't interrupt her, though. I'm not. Okay, here we go. And go. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank you, judge, for having us here today. Mr. Lunchbox would need to prove that Amy had criminal intent, that she was acting with criminal negligence and was acting unlawfully when this accident took place. Amy, yes, she received this bird as a gift, but she's been caring for this bird. She's posted about this bird, how much she's liked it, enjoyed having it in the room. She's seen how much it's dot. Her daughter has been happy because the bird has been here with them. And Amy burns candles all the time. If you've ever seen her Instagram page. Candles, incense. They've been a part of her life for years. Before this bird ever came into the picture, she's been burning them, and it's been no issue. Why would she think all of a sudden, a bird in the picture, she would have to stop doing something that she already does all the time? This is not new to her. She was not acting with intent to hurt this bird. She wanted this bird to be around. She knew that if this bird died, Mr. Chris Hemsworth, her daughter would be upset. And Amy, not only that, was in a great mental state. And you would also have to prove that she was in a bad mental state while having this bird. Amy's been happy, glowing, smiling lately. Amy's getting attacked right now. I like it. Amy has done very well to make sure this bird has been cared for, loved, and fed all the time. This bird was a happy addition to Amy's family and not something that she ever had the intent to kill. So I would like to now ask my defendant some questions. Okay, Your time is up. So you went a little early. Good for you. So you get to ask the defendant two questions. Amy, how has your mental state been since you acquired Mr. Chris Hemsworth? I would say relatively stable. Yeah, we're doing good. Mental state is happy. We're. I mean, perimenopausal. It's questionable day to day, moment to moment, but we're doing good. Okay. I've never wanted to harm another life. Got it. We've never seen Amy want to harm another life. And, Amy, how many times before having Chris Hemsworth did you burn an incense? Oh, I. I like to do that a lot and been years. Like, I have sticks all over in different drawers with matches so that I can just light up anytime, anytime. I've been doing that for a while. Yes. So therefore, our prosecutor here does not have criminal mens rea or act as reus, which both mean you have no case here. She is purely innocent. This was an accident. And the bird was harmed, unfortunately, but not with any criminal intent. Not harmed. Killed. The bird died. Okay. Thank you, Morgan. Now can I do my closing argument? Well, you have 10 seconds. Go easy. Yes. Amy, once she did her Google searches of incense will kill the bird. She had the perfect crime, ladies and gentlemen. She says. Hold on, hold on. Those Google searches happened after. You have to Object. Object. Your Honor, I don't know what means what, so I'm going to let Lunchbox just keep finishing. Yes. She realized, oh, my goodness. Something I've been doing this whole time will kill this bird. So then people won't be able to suspect me because it's something I've always done. Thank you. And Morgan, your final 10 seconds. Amy. This is a lame point because, Amy, Google searched this after the bird was dead. This Google search never happened before the bird was there or alive. The timestamp is definitely after I found him lifeless. Well, I'm sorry that the bird died. No, it's been terrible. It's been highly emotional. I've cried. My daughter has been up to upset. She's wanted to cry. I told her to let it out. I was like, this is a good opportunity for you to let it out. And she's like, I don't really want to cry, but she's been upset. My son is upset. He loved the bird. My cat is in mourning. Like, meowing, like, missing. She doesn't know what the cat's feeling. Yes, I do. I think I know my cat. The court stenographer just objected, and that's weird, but you know what? I'll accept it. Struck that from the record. No, my. We're all in mourning. Like, it's been terrible. Freaking bailiff objected, and I. That's never happened before, but okay. Like. And we don't know for certain that it was the incense that did it, but once I saw that that can be deadly to birds, I. The day before the bird died, I did burn it. And so not in the same room downstairs. The bird's upstairs. But the toxins, they float or the scents and the smoke and whatever goes throughout the house. And their respiratory system is so weak that are sensitive that it likely is what took his life. And I feel terrible. Okay. The jurors are back, but it couldn't be the cat. They basically were like, the last three days while she was saying that sentence, they were sequestering. Well, they've been sequestered the whole time. Deliberated. Yes, they've been deliberated. And, Amy, it's very unfortunate that the bird died. Yeah. The question here isn't did the bird die, but did the bird die because you murdered it? No. Well, you don't get to say that. I do. And so I cannot find you guilty for first degree or second degree murder, but I do find you in third degree birder. Like, I'm a burderer. Third degree murderer. You're a third Degree murderer. Which means you didn't mean to kill that bird, but it did get murdered. I would compare it to involuntary bird slaughter. Oh, no. So your punishment is going to be. You need time to think about this. I think that'd be the sentencing. That'd be the sentencing. No, no, no. I have the sentencing. The sentencing is going to be since the bird probably did. Probably did die by your actions, but not on purpose. Involuntary bird slaughter, as we like to call it. At least when I was coming up through law school, you know, we studied a lot of voluntary bird slaughter. I think you need to drop a bag of bird seed off at a local bird sanctuary. I can do that. All right. That's your punishment. But the case was won by Morgan. Morgan. Nice job. It was not first degree murder or second degree murder. It was third degree murdered herder murderer. Yes. So you're in the clear. You get to go home. I know you spent last night in jail. No. How was that? It was a birdcage. We put in a birdcage. We made her. Yeah, and I had to. The newspaper was weird. We papered the bottom of it, but. Amy, you're free to go. There she is. Thank you. All right, there it is. That's it. Are we rising? Yeah. It's the end, dude. The honorable Judge Bones in his courtroom is now prosecutor can't even stand. Wait, no. What now? I figured out what I'm supposed to say to him when he did that. Okay. Thank you. Such idiots. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two, Abby shared some huge news this week. It was a two parter in big news, all about her relationship. And I have been holding onto the secret for a long, long time. So I'm happy she's finally sharing all the good news. Number one big announcement here from someone on the show. And I won't say that they've been lying about it because I never asked them. So I guess omission could be a form of dishonesty. But I don't even feel that's the case. But they have been a bit misleading and they have kept it from us. But on this show, I get it. You don't want to say stuff until it's like it's in. Any guesses? It's not me. I take me out of it. Oh, no. I'm guessing Morgan. They broke up some better boyfriend. Oh, no way. Oh, my gosh. That's so rude already. Morgan opening, grand closing. Yeah, one week. No, it's not me. Okay, it's not Morgan. Okay, good. It's not Morgan. I'm happy. Yeah, let me live. Okay. We do know why they say that though, right? No, I don't. Okay, never mind. Doesn't matter. Okay, anybody else? We already know Amy has a dude. Yeah. They're happy. Or are they not happy? Or is he just AI? They have been going to therapy. Yeah, someone's been hiding something. We did therapy once. Guess the person. But I need to book another. Oh, then it's Amy. Guess the person without guessing what it is. If you get the person right, you win. Eddie, who is it? Amy. Okay. Morgan. Abby. Abby. Who do you think it is now? I'm asking her because she guessed Abby. Oh, it is Abby. Who do I think it is? Maybe me. Is it Abby? Abby. Abby. Hold on, everybody. Hold on. Drum roll, please. Ray, drum roll. So, for everybody that's new to the show, Abby is. She produces mini segments. She also answers the phones. You keep groaning on every single thing, and you've been wrong every time. So I can't go to every groan. Cause your batting average is low. Abby, is this about your boyfriend? It is. Yes. Oh, no. Eddie. Why do you say oh, no? What's happened? They're not even real. Like, he's not real the whole time. He's not a financial guy. He's been Napoleon dynamite. He's at a different school. What is it? Abby? Yeah. You've been with your boyfriend for how long? Almost a year and a half. Gosh, that's so long. And I think this is a two parter, if I'm being honest. What is it? A two parter, Ivy. What does that mean, two parter? It's two revelations, Amy. Oh, lunchbox stinks. Engaged and pregnant. It's not. You have to stop making noise. You've been wrong, like, eight times in a row. I know. He's freaking out. He's, like, hitting his ring finger in the middle. He's wrong, like, eight times. And he keeps getting louder and louder every guess. Sorry. Okay. Oh, that was it, Abby. Mm. It's a double though, right? Yeah, I would say. Okay, what do you think's the first layer of the double? Are you asking me? You want me to say it? Why? Yeah, I asked the question. Okay. Okay. What's the first layer of the two things that maybe you didn't share? Oh, well, that we now live together. Well, I would say that was the second layer. That's the second one. Yeah. That he has kids. Oh, yeah, he has kids. I knew that. Yeah, but that wasn't. That wasn't Like a thing. Yeah. That has not been out in the public. Man, I've never seen those kids. Well, I've never seen them either, so. Abby was never scared. She's a mom. Hold on. They're not married. She had Mother's Day. They're living together, so you have to be ready. Hold on, take a breath. We didn't even say Happy Mother's Day to her. Oh, I feel bad. So he has kids? Yeah, he does. How many? He has two. Okay. And then you just said the second part and now you're living together. We are living together, yeah. So it's you, him and the kids? Uh huh. Oh my God. It's a split custody. Got it. The mom has them half the time, so I don't know. Tell us what's up. Cause you forever. How do I say this nicely? Oh man. Didn't have a boyfriend. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. I would say I was on the prowl. No one even said that. Well, I would say of everyone on the show, certain people had the least hope for you. Oh dang. Not me, because I think you're awesome and wonderful, but certain people are like, it's never gonna happen for Abby. Right? Yeah, that is true. Yeah. I would say my life has done a 180 yes since then. So I don't know. When did you guys decide to move in together? Oh my God. So we actually moved in three months ago is when I did, but I didn't want to say anything because I was scared it wouldn't work and then I'd have to come here and be like, oh, never mind. So I mean, he's been wanting me to for a while, but I was kind of hesitant. Yeah, free. Free kid care. He's wanting you to what? Wait, she clarify wanting you to what? To move in with him. Like he. He wants to see how we're gonna work out. Like me with the kids and everything. How do you feel about that? I mean, I love it, it's just, it's a big change for me because I've lived alone. I've never lived with a guy for one thing, and then with kids. So I was in like a three bedroom townhouse by myself and now I'm just saying like I had space and you know, I could sleep in on weekends and now it's a lot different, but. Oh yeah, yeah, that's quick. And don't say exactly, but are they young young? Are they mid young? Yeah, they are like three and a half and five and a half. Pretty young. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for giving exacts. Yeah, that's okay. I don't know how much information that he wants out there. About two. I have a question. So in living together, I guess, is this something like. I guess it's the arrangements with him and the. His ex. Like, was that a thing? Is it okay? Like, did y' all have to run it by her or. I don't know how they have it arranged, but I know, like, with me and my husband, like, we can't cohabitate, like with the kids unless, like, next steps are taken or the other person gives permission. But, like, in our legal documents, it's like no cohabitation. Unless you're getting remarried. Unless you're married. Yeah. She wanted to meet me first. And then you had to do that? Yeah, it was a whole meeting. How was that? It was a little awkward. It was kind of like an interview. But it was fine. I made it. And then after that, I mean, he was kind of like, she's moving in. Are you happier? I am, yeah. I mean, I feel like a year and a half ago I was single and lonely a lot. It was kind of sad. Well, yeah. You're in a three bedroom town now. I know. With two cars. Two cars, three bedrooms by yourself. Yeah. That can create loneliness. Yeah, I know. And I was like, I don't know, I just have so much love to give. And now I feel like there's like a lot of love. Now it's. Instead of one, it's three people. That's awesome, Abby. Well, if you're happy, I'm happy. Because you deserve happiness because you're awesome. Thank you. And so does that mean. Are you guys talking about marriage? Yeah, we've talked about it. Because if you're moving in, you have to kind of talk about it, right? Because I don't move in if I'm. If I'm the girl. I ain't moving in unless we're at least talking about it a little bit. Especially if there's kids. Especially if there's kids. Yeah. Right. It's like the, you know, if everything aligns, we're kind of at a point, like, you know, alignment and logistics and all that. Does he know your finger size? I think so, yeah. I don't know. Anything's happening or anything. No, actually, I don't think he does. He wouldn't be able to say, probably. But if you ever wake up and he's got like a string around it. Yeah, that's what's up. But, yeah, things are good. I just wanted to finally say that. What do the kids call you? Oh, they just call me, like. I mean, Abby. No, they don't. No, they don't. Abby. And then, like, Dad's girlfriend is basically. I mean, they're three and five. Dad's girlfriend's kind of weird. Yeah, that was weird to be. Syllable. Hey, Dad's girlfriend. No, when they refer to me, like, to someone else. Oh, that's Dad's girlfriend. But Abby, you know, to me. Well, I am rooting for you. I think you did a great job by holding it. Thank you. Do they ask questions like, are you gonna be our mom? I guess they have a mom, so that's weird. Yeah. They have a mom. They don't, but sometimes I go to, like, birthday parties of their friends, and friends come up and they're like, are you the sister or the mom? And I'm like, well, neither. Kind of complicated. Oh, wow. This is birthday parties? Yeah. You go to school events, too? No. Okay. But, like, when they're at trampoline parks, that's fun. I go jump with them. Do you drive? Do you, like, do errands with just the kids? No, I really don't. I think that's. I think she. The mom is a little more, you know, kind of scared of that, but he. He does that. All right. Well, I think it's great. It's awesome. It's a big responsibility, but it is. A lot of responsibilities are awesome, but she has a lot of love to give. I felt like that part was really sweet, and now she gets to give it because she was lonely for a long time. Very lonely. I was. Yeah. I can just hear that. Have you guys had any big fights yet, living together? Not really. No. Huh. Which is weird. Those will come. Yeah, that is weird. Ain't my kids right? That's number one. That's number one. As soon as somebody started, that'd be the first thing I would use. What? I should. Oh, my gosh. No, that would not go well. Yeah, well, fights I ain't supposed to go well. Do you guys not fight like that? Like, you just win at all costs? I try to fight clean. Oh. I try to win at all costs. Yeah. No. Yeah, it's. It's. It's much like how I play pickleball or compete in anything when. At all costs. Okay. Yeah. Well, Abby, we're happy for you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. Happy Mother's Day, Abby. Oh, my gosh. Oh, guys, did he do anything, like, give you, like, a happy, fake Mother's Day or, like, did they. Nothing no, they were with them. Yeah, that makes sense. Well, we're rooting for you, Abby. Well, thanks. It's the Best Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Number two. Thanks for being here this weekend friends.
