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

[Morgan]

Part two.

[Amy]

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

[Lunchbox]

Welcome to the Best Bits. If you're catching up on the Bobby Bones show, you've made it to the right place. This is part two of this weekend's podcast, Part one and part three. This weekend is with Lunchbox. We catch all up on life in part one and Lunchbox being a coach. Plus how our humor is very, very different from each other's. In part three we always answer a listener question. So I encourage you to check both of those out, especially if you're a big Lunchbox fan and I think you'll really like it if you've never listened to it before and I could totally be wrong. Never know. But the reason you are here is to catch up on the show. So let's do that. Here we are with the top seven segments from the show. This week, Bobby helped out listener Kylie. She had called into the show to share that she had unfortunately lost her father recently to K and she wanted to ice skate in a Skate to Eliminate Cancer event with Scott Hamilton. But to do so she needed to raise a little bit more money. So something super exciting happened when she was on the phone with Bobby and we are all rooting for Kylie to take first place so she can skate in honor of her father.

[Amy]

Number seven. Want to go over and talk to kylie who is 10 years old. Hey Kylie, how are ya?

[Raymundo]

Good, how are you?

[Amy]

I'm doing pretty good. So tell me what's up.

[Raymundo]

I'm 10 years old and my father just lost his two year battle with melanoma last this Saturday.

[Amy]

I'm sorry. Hear that.

[Raymundo]

But now I have the chance to skate in my dad's honor at Scott Hamilton Skate to Eliminate Cancer event in Orlando, Florida on March 16th.

[Amy]

Okay, so what do you have to do when you say you have the chance, what does that mean?

[Raymundo]

So I have to be in the top eight for donations to be able to skate and I from the top donated. I get a special like shout out sort of thing. They'll do a special recognition at the event and tell her story, basically. Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay, got it. First of all, can you skate?

[Raymundo]

Yes. Okay, good, good. I've been skating since I was about six years old. Since January 2021.

[Amy]

Okay. Well, again, I'd like to say I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. I am very happy to hear how passionate you are to do this. So how can I help you?

[Raymundo]

I just need about $500 worth of donations to get up to first place. I'm in second currently.

[Amy]

So are you telling me. And your mom's there with you? Yes.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Hi, Mom. Mom, what's your name?

[Raymundo]

Jennifer.

[Amy]

Jennifer. So if she gets 500 more dollars, are you sure this is what's going to happen? Like she's going to be able to do that?

[Raymundo]

She has until March 19th to collect donations. March 15th. Yeah, March 15th. She has until March 15th to collect donations to be in first place. So if we get her to first place, there's always a chance that the other little girl could, you know, raise some more money to get herself back into first place. But it's a pretty. Is a pretty good shot, I think if we get another $500 that she could. Because this girl has been at 3010 for a while now.

[Amy]

Okay, so here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you 500 bucks for this. Now I need whatever link it is. I'm not sure. Maybe we can get the link from. If you'll.

[Raymundo]

I'm gonna email it to Abby once we're off the phone.

[Amy]

We can also post it and see if any of our listeners want to hop in. But I will go 500 in immediately and then do me this favorite. If you start to lose again, let us know because I'll put more money in.

[Raymundo]

Okay? Okay.

[Amy]

Deal.

[Raymundo]

That's amazing.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Raymundo]

Wow, Bobby, thank you so much. So the final day is for sure the 15th, because. Yeah, we'll like. That's. We can keep monitoring it and then we know.

[Amy]

Well, no, I'll forget monitoring. They have to call us back. If you lose, you call us back. Because here's the thing. I like, listen, I grew up with no money. Now I have money, so I like to help as many people as I possibly can. But also, I'm wildly competitive. I know anybody. I don't even know who you're competing against. And I know my brain's not right, but I'm like, you must win that girl. Yes. Like, I'm with Kylie. We're here. We're gonna win this thing. So please keep us updated. Send the link. I'm happy to pay it. I hope you get to do this. I'm very sorry about your dad. I'm super pumped for you to be able to do this and share his story and go out and do this for him. So, yeah, let us be part of the team. Okay? Okay.

[Raymundo]

Awesome. Thank you.

[Amy]

And you guys, where do you guys live?

[Raymundo]

We're in Tampa, Florida.

[Amy]

Love it. My favorite of all the Tampas.

[Raymundo]

And so I tell you what too, Bobbi, I'll. When she performs, I will. I'll video it and I'll email it so that you guys can see her skate.

[Amy]

What would be funny is if she's never skated and she's like, I'd like to go skate. But she has.

[Raymundo]

So I've been skating for years. She's been skating competitively for about three years now. So I actually working on my axle.

[Amy]

No way.

[Raymundo]

That's awesome.

[Amy]

I tried to axle once. I fell down. I tried a single axle. Fell down. Okay, you guys stay on hold. I want to get your information and in the next couple of hours I will load and I'll pay this money and then you let us know if you're starting to get beat by somebody else. Okay? Okay.

[Raymundo]

Sounds like a plan. Thank you.

[Amy]

I'm gonna say bye, but don't hang up.

[Raymundo]

Okay?

[Lunchbox]

There's been lots of Easter eggs when it comes to Amy's dating. She's shared tidbits here and there. While Raymondo believes that he predicted her dating way before anybody else, he had sent an email off that also proves the timestamp of everything. So you're gonna hear the moment Raymondo claimed he knew Amy was dating someone. And then we kind of get some stories of Amy's dating past in the 2024 year.

[Amy]

Number six. Raymundo, who is our audio producer, he says he predicted something, but you didn't predict it to the room. Like, you didn't say it. It was in my show prep. Okay? So I got it and decided not to read it because I felt like it was sensitive. Correct. And this is not January month. Like a month and a week ago. This is a year ago. This is 2024. January 17th at 10:36am okay, Raymundo the psychic Nostra. Raymundo. Hit it, Raymundo. Give us some psychic music. I sent an email to you, and I said, amy is for sure dating a dude. She's watching movies about gladiator racing. That's just not typically stuff she watches. Has to have a boyfriend. And I probably did not read it because I felt like at the time, if true, Amy did not want to talk about it. Amy was Raymundo. Correct. A year and a month ago.

[Raymundo]

I mean, there was somebody that I was hanging out with, but he was not my boyfriend.

[Amy]

Oh, different dude.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, he's not my boyfriend.

[Amy]

Got it. So Raymundo was right that he.

[Raymundo]

Yes, that does.

[Amy]

If I'm being honest, I picked up on it, too.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, you. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think we all did.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And you know what?

[Raymundo]

Why is Amy watching gladiators?

[Amy]

No, it's more than that. And we don't want us to say more than that.

[Raymundo]

I know other things.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was way big other things.

[Raymundo]

I know, but it's not like what y'all are. I know what y'all are thinking with that, and it was not what you're thinking.

[Amy]

No, it is. It is. No, it is.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Amy]

It doesn't matter.

[Raymundo]

Totally.

[Amy]

It doesn't matter because that's not your boyfriend now.

[Raymundo]

No, but my boyfriend now knows about that.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, but you can date other people. Who cares?

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Katherine Legge]

I know it's not illegal.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's not illegal to have a boyfriend or a guy you're dating before a boyfriend.

[Raymundo]

I know, I know.

[Amy]

We never even talked about it as a group.

[Mark Seal]

That's so funny.

[Amy]

But I think all of us could look at each other in the eyes and go, yep, because we were seeing a little something.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I know.

[Amy]

We'll leave it there, Raymunda. I think you're right though.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Thank you. My bad. Amy.

[Raymundo]

No, it's okay. I don't. It's okay. Thank you for.

[Amy]

Wait, why did you have to tell your current boyfriend about a guy you hung out with before?

[Raymundo]

I didn't have to tell him. I think we were just talking about relationships post divorce, like for me. And I was sharing kind of how I was dipping my toes in and then what it looked like even trying hinge and meeting people through friends and I think it just came up. Why?

[Amy]

I'd like to say something, but I'm not going to say it.

[Katherine Legge]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

Are you sure?

[Raymundo]

Yes, I guess.

[Amy]

Do I have full permission?

[Raymundo]

Well, I think so.

[Amy]

Dude was like 12.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I never got a good look.

[Raymundo]

He was younger.

[Amy]

Can I say anything?

[Katherine Legge]

Wait, he was 12?

[Amy]

No, no, but he was. I thought Amy had hired like a pool boy to like. Oh, yeah, but like, that's how Stella got her groove back.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Katherine Legge]

How old?

[Raymundo]

He was younger than me. How old?

[Amy]

You don't have. You do not have to answer anything.

[Raymundo]

He wasn't 12.

[Amy]

I'm just saying.

[Morgan]

Well, we didn't think he was 12.

[Raymundo]

Listen, I think that there's. You go through like I had multiple people around me being like. Even including my ex husband that was like. Amy, what are you doing?

[Amy]

No, it's a face.

[Raymundo]

And. And I said nothing. I'm not doing anything. Like, we're just friends.

[Amy]

Well, that's not true though.

[Raymundo]

Well, we were though when I said that.

[Amy]

Okay, okay, so.

[Raymundo]

Because we were. Yeah. Just. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Are you like Leo?

[Amy]

She's the dicaprio of our show.

[Raymundo]

No, but he was younger. I struggled with it. I even said it to him at one point. I was like, you know that I'm in 40 something, divorced, mom of two.

[Amy]

And he was like, but I graduate high school next week and what? I know, Raymondo, you got it right? We have all thought, but didn't say.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Didn't even prep it.

[Amy]

Really. None. Ray was the only one. But I think. Let me just stop.

[Lunchbox]

You think what?

[Amy]

Let me just stop. I'm happy.

[Raymundo]

I don't know what you know. Because your wife knew.

[Amy]

My wife doesn't tell Me? Anything.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Amy]

Like that My wife knows. I don't want to hear anything. It's not about you. I.

[Raymundo]

Okay. And Morgan knows everything.

[Amy]

Oh, he does.

[Katherine Legge]

Whoa.

[Raymundo]

Girl talk.

[Amy]

Can I say one other thing?

[Raymundo]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Do you know how we probably all knew?

[Katherine Legge]

I know how.

[Raymundo]

Oh, well, Steve, here's the thing. You know, this is the embarrassing. This is the embarrassing part.

[Amy]

Can I say how we all knew?

[Raymundo]

I mean, you can say, yeah, but it's. I. This is the part where I'm like, it's not what y'all are totally thinking in those. In the case that.

[Amy]

Well, you don't know about to say.

[Raymundo]

I kind of do.

[Morgan]

Amy, do you know.

[Amy]

Is it that we'd see him driving a car every day, dropping her off at work?

[Katherine Legge]

I thought he didn't have a car. And then he was, like, using Amy.

[Raymundo]

He didn't.

[Amy]

He was using vehicle. No, not using. I don't think he was using.

[Raymundo]

He didn't. He was young.

[Amy]

He's still mowing yards. Exactly.

[Katherine Legge]

He couldn't afford his own car payment.

[Raymundo]

He would actually come to my house early, pick me up. Like it was. It was.

[Amy]

Did he have a car to pick you up?

[Katherine Legge]

Her car.

[Raymundo]

My car.

[Katherine Legge]

He would take her car.

[Amy]

How would he pick you up? Oh, but he would take my car. How would he get to your house?

[Raymundo]

Because he would come and he knew the kids. Like, he would hang out.

[Amy]

How would he physically get to your house?

[Raymundo]

I mean, his brother dropped him off.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Katherine Legge]

You dated a 12 year old.

[Morgan]

His mom.

[Amy]

He was getting his license real soon.

[Raymundo]

Right. And then he would take my car. He would go to his brother's house, he would spend the night, and then he'd come back in the morning. Yes, because he needed a car to do some things because he was trying to get work.

[Amy]

I think I was trying to be helpful. That's a phase you needed to go through. I do think that's a. That's a no. No more right now.

[Raymundo]

No more drive around in your car.

[Amy]

He would. I would see it. Amy has a nice car. And I'd be like, who's the, like, kid driving Amy's? And then about the fifth time he dropped, drop. I would just keep my head down and act like I didn't see anything.

[Raymundo]

I know. And I was like, why is Bobby putting his head down my business? But we've been friends forever.

[Amy]

I know, but when you. If you wanted to tell me, you would have told me. And my wife doesn't tell me anything. If, like, my wife locks secrets down for people. And I'm like, I'm your husband. We should have a rule. You should tell me everybody's secrets. And she's like, one, no and two, you don't want to know. Like, she knows what I'm like, interested in.

[Katherine Legge]

This is the funniest.

[Amy]

And you would have told me. Yeah, it's funny. So he was younger. How is your new boyfriend younger?

[Raymundo]

He's older. So he's 52.

[Katherine Legge]

Does he have a car?

[Raymundo]

Yes, he does. Good. Yes. Yeah, he's a CEO and very bang.

[Amy]

Flex out of nowhere.

[Katherine Legge]

Okay, well, she went from unemployed to CEO, right?

[Amy]

Wow.

[Katherine Legge]

I'm the end of the spectrum here.

[Raymundo]

I know. Well, I just. I grew up a little bit.

[Lunchbox]

I mature.

[Amy]

No, you went through your phases.

[Raymundo]

I'm matured.

[Amy]

You needed to do that.

[Raymundo]

I matured, yes.

[Amy]

Okay, there you have it.

[Morgan]

Hey, man.

[Amy]

Dude, I was like, that kid don't have armpit hair.

[Morgan]

Like, I'm just glad we finally talked about this.

[Amy]

I know. Because we never, as a group with you, not here, talked about it because we don't do that.

[Raymundo]

I like that. Y'all would maybe have forgotten about it.

[Amy]

No, we'll never have forgotten. You can barely see top of his head. It's like one of those 12 year olds that steals a car. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Number two, there's not a single adult out there who ever likes to have car problems. Well, Bobby and Eddie both now have car situations. So something happened to Bobby's car while he's at the Million Dollar show, and Eddie almost hit a pedestrian. So some car drama. But also, man, I'm just thinking about the times I've had to mess with my car. I mean, my car died the other day and I had to switch the battery out, and it sucks. So car problems. Not the most fun thing to do as an adult.

[Amy]

Number five, I wanted to wait a day because I wanted to not be emotional about this. Not that I was that emotional, but we had our show at the Ryman Auditorium. We raised a bunch of money for St. Jude. It was awesome. Nobody told me till the end of the show, but I could tell bad news was coming. And so as the show ended, I'm back in the dressing room, and I saw, like, three people walk up slowly, and I just knew something wasn't good. And they said, hey, man, it was really windy. They said there was a truck that had a propane tank on it, and it blew the propane tank off the truck and smashed into your car. I was parked at the Ryman. What?

[Raymundo]

Is this for real? Yeah, this is for real right now?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

This really happened. Your car?

[Amy]

Tim had to tell me because I know Tim, our security guy has been with me for a decade. He doesn't screw around. Like, if we're like, he doesn't screw around. And he had. They made him tell me because they thought I would think it was a joke.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, like, right now, I'm thinking it's a joke.

[Amy]

Me too. But Tim told me, and I was like, really? And he goes, it's me. Really? So a propane tank blew off of a truck that was. And smashed the side of the. Of my car.

[Raymundo]

So what. What. What does that mean?

[Morgan]

What do you do?

[Amy]

I think you call insurance and you have to fix it.

[Morgan]

Were you able to drive the car home?

[Amy]

Yeah. Oh, I was able to drive the car, but, I mean, hit the side. It just sucks.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. That is.

[Amy]

I'm glad they didn't tell me. Mid show. Stop the show.

[Nathan King]

I'm out of here.

[Amy]

Stop the show.

[Raymundo]

I mean, because what are the odds?

[Amy]

How weird that a propane tank blows truck. One of us. So windy. And just smashed the side of my car. So, yeah, that was. That's it. Sun comes up tomorrow, and it'll be fine. It's just kind of annoying. But like anything else, it's annoying, but sun comes up tomorrow. The end. Now, Eddie almost killed somebody in the parking garage. That's what I heard.

[Morgan]

That's one Morgan.

[Amy]

Did you hear him talking about it? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So I walked into work the other day, and all I hear is scuba and Eddie. And Eddie's like, yeah, I almost hit her. And I was like, what the. I'm like, I'm gonna need more contacts. They're like, don't worry about it. And I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna assume this means he almost hit somebody in our parking garage instead of something worse.

[Morgan]

It was bizarre, dude. Like, crazy. I'm going up the parking garage, right? I'm making a turn.

[Amy]

Are you going fast?

[Morgan]

No.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

No, I'm not going fast. And somebody comes out of, like, the stairwell door. They walk out, and they make their way along where all the cars are parked. I see her, so I slow down, but. But she obviously doesn't see me, hear me or anything because she slowly starts walking towards the middle of where all the cars are driving. And I'm right next to her, and she doesn't see me, so she.

[Amy]

You're in a Jeep.

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Amy]

Headphones on.

[Morgan]

I didn't see headphones. I didn't see anything, but it's almost like she ran into me. And then all of a sudden, she realizes, whoa, there's a car here. And throws her hands up like, what? You almost hit me.

[Amy]

Oh. Then she thought it was your fault.

[Morgan]

Yes. And I was like. And I looked at her mirror.

[Amy]

Was it your fault? Wink at me if it was your fault.

[Morgan]

It was not my fault, I promise. And I'm. Thank God Scuba was behind me. He saw the whole thing.

[Amy]

Scuba, what'd you see? Okay, maybe Scuba's story's not the same.

[Morgan]

Somewhat the same. Yeah. Well, it was kind of baffling that here's my truck. I'm blaring like, old school hip hop. It's so loud. Cars are coming. Eddie's Jeep sounds like.

[Amy]

God. Yeah, it's loud.

[Morgan]

It's really loud. It was kind of baffling that she was walking. And she almost kind of like, instead of walking along the wall, she faded a little bit to the right, but Eddie, stopp. And I guess I would have handled a little bit differently. I would have stopped and had my window. Hey, I'm coming. But he just started, like, slowly scooting by her chicken. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Playing chicken or, like, trying to, like, get behind my. And it was just so weird. She was like a magnet. She, like, got towards your car. Almost walked right into it. It was.

[Amy]

Did he almost hit her for real? Like, it would have hurt her.

[Morgan]

Almost hit her? Yeah, because she was walking into it.

[Raymundo]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

I don't know if she was trying to, like, create some sort of insurance, like, or something. That's what it felt like. Because then she stood there, and I'm behind her, and she stood there for a solid 15 seconds, and I'm like, if she doesn't move, I'm going to hit her because I want her out of my way. I got to get to work.

[Amy]

So what ended up happening here?

[Morgan]

She stood there for about 10 seconds with her arms up like, you almost killed me. And I just drove off.

[Amy]

Was she blocking you a little bit for a while with her arms up?

[Morgan]

No, I didn't, dude. I never stopped. He was already gone. He kept moving. That's what Scoop is saying. I never stopped. So she almost just went into me and then realized there's a car right next to me. And that's why I think he maybe should have stopped to, like, maybe, like, make sort of eye contact there or something, like, here I come. But he just started, like, scooting by her, and it was just this awkward moment of her coming closer to him and he's driving by her.

[Amy]

Here's why I'm happy about this story. It did not involve Amy. Yeah, it did not. Amy wasn't doing 100 miles an hour. That thing. She didn't get hit. She did. I love a good story that doesn't involve Amy in the parking garage. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

[Bobby Bones]

Cat not here and I go in and she's eating my lunch?

[Jorge Cham]

Or if hypnotism is real, you will.

[Amy]

Use the suggestion in order to enhance your cognitive control.

[Jorge Cham]

But what's inside a black hole?

[Raymundo]

Black holes could be a consequence of.

[Bobby Bones]

The way that we understand the universe.

I'm Mark Seal.

[Mark Seal]

And I'm Nathan King.

[Amy]

This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli.

[Nathan King]

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

[Mark Seal]

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 birthday. From start to finish, this is really.

[Amy]

The first interview I've done in bed.

[Mark Seal]

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

[Amy]

That's nonsense. There were 60 pages.

[Mark Seal]

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

[Amy]

And they said we're finished. This is over.

[Nathan King]

It only is not going to work.

[Amy]

You gotta get rid of those guys.

[Mark Seal]

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.

[Amy]

Yes, that was a real horse's head.

[Lunchbox]

Every day on the Bobby Bones show we do the bonehead story of the day with Lunchbox and he shares some boneheads who do some very Boneheady things. But the reality is we're all boneheads. We've all done things that we're not super proud of, or we're just like, gosh, why did I do that? And, you know, you hit your head in protest against what you did, but that's kind of what this segment was for. We all are boneheads. So we admitted it. It's a personal bonehead story from each of us. Vulnerable moment, if you will. So try not to make fun of us too hard.

[Amy]

Number four, every show, we do the bonehead story of the day. But Amy's gonna start us off. We're all gonna do our personal boneheads. Amy, you're first.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. So I kept hearing birds chirping from my chimney. And so I've got a fireplace and I've got. Got, you know, TV up there, and sometimes I build a fire. And I'm really concerned because I don't want these birds to get stuck in there, and I want them to die. So I called a chimney company to come and figure out what's going on with the.

[Amy]

I had to get them out, right?

[Raymundo]

So they come and they look at it and they're like, there's no birds in here. And I'm like, but I am hearing chirping. But of course, they weren't really chirping when the chimney people were there. And they looked all up in there. We're good.

[Amy]

So don't you hate that your car's broken? You take it in, it doesn't make.

[Raymundo]

The noise, so then they leave. And then later in the evening, I hear the birds again. I even hear some, like, wind blowing trees, like the leaves rustling. And then I look at the TV and it's on the screensaver. So sometimes the TVs just. You can see all the apps and whatnot. But then when it's idling, it goes to whatever I've saved it as, which is a nature scene. Now, there's no birds on the screen, so that's where it kind of gets confusing. But it does have nature sounds attached to it. And I realized the birds chirping in the wind, it's coming from the nature sounds on my screensaver on my tv.

[Amy]

You called the company out?

[Raymundo]

I called them to come out. Of course. I haven't called them to tell them this update, nor would I. Yeah, no.

[Amy]

I would just check out.

[Morgan]

Let it go.

[Raymundo]

Yeah. But they're like, no, ma'am, you're all clear. And I'm like, okay. I guess I don't hear them. So maybe they went away. And then later that night, I was like, oh, my gosh. And my son's like, yeah, mom, duh.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's your bonehead story of the day. I'll go next. I've been really trying to limit my ordering of, like, uber eats or DoorDash, because it's just they charge so much more for the delivery and the tip. And so the other night, I was kind of in a pinch. And so I had ordered, like, some soup and a sandwich and ordered a little chocolate chip cookie, got a drink, all this in it. It was like, 48 bucks. So push thing. And then it says, your food has arrived. And so I go out to get my food, and there's literally one little. One little bag. I mean, it's as big. If I were to take my thumb and forefinger and make it as long as I possibly can, the bag is that big. It's small. I'm like, where's all my food? Like, did someone steal my food? And then I looked, and I actually didn't click on anything but the cookie. So I ordered only a cookie and made them pick it up at the store and Uber eated a cookie, one single small cookie, all the way to my house. For the small cookie with tip and del. It was $17.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

And I didn't have dinner because I ordered one cookie. I didn't mean to order one. I meant to order a whole thing of food. I don't know why I didn't push the rest of it. One cookie's all that came, and I just felt stupid. I tipped a guy, but I'm just picturing him going, this person ordered one tiny cookie.

[Raymundo]

They're like, what is the world coming to?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

I cannot believe I'm delivering this one cookie. Oh, my. That's probably interesting. Some of those drivers like what they've had to deliver to some people sometimes.

[Amy]

One cookie. It was one. It wasn't even a big cookie.

[Raymundo]

They probably go home that night and they're like, you're never going to guess what I had to deliver.

[Amy]

One cookie, one nail away for one cookie.

[Raymundo]

He paid $17 for one cookie.

[Amy]

Oh, my goodness. So that I'm the bonehead there. Lunchbox.

[Katherine Legge]

Yeah. My son's birthday. We're having the party March 2. Had the place invitation set on everything. We're sitting at the house February 22, I get a call from the trampoline park, and like, sir, we just want to make sure you're still coming today for the birthday party. You're 30 minutes late. I booked the venue for the wrong day. It was supposed to be March 2nd. I booked it for February 22nd. The invitation said March 2nd. Luckily, they were like, oh, yeah, we'll just move you to March 2nd. Sorry about that.

[Amy]

How'd you get that? Like, I figured out how I did mine wrong. I think I unclicked everything accidentally. How did you do that wrong?

[Katherine Legge]

I just think my wife said, second. You know what I mean? She said, the second. And so I called the place, and they said, oh, we have the 22nd available. I said, yeah, that's what we want, the 22nd. I just got it. Lost in translate. I don't know. But I booked the 22nd, and I had no idea because I'm sitting there on the couch when the phone rings, and I'm like, hello? And they're like, I guess, are you still coming for the birthday party? I was like, yeah, we'll be there next Saturday. No, you're supposed to be here today.

[Amy]

My fault. Did they make you pay any sort of.

[Katherine Legge]

No fee, no nothing. They were just like, oh, yeah. We'll just put you on the schedule for next weekend.

[Amy]

Eddie.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So lately we've been having this solicitation problem in our neighborhood. You know, people just selling things door to door.

[Amy]

Oh, not prostitutes. No, no, no, no. We need to get you out of there. Got it. Go ahead.

[Morgan]

So I was driving into my neighborhood, and I saw this on the Facebook page. And I see one of the guys, and I'm like, I would never do this, but something told me, now's your chance to tell him. Like, get out of here. So I pull over. He's in someone's driveway. He's got all his little papers and everything in his hand. He's got khakis on. I said, hey, man, we're really not doing solicitors here. Like, we don't do door to doors in this neighborhood. And he goes, I live here.

[Amy]

Oh, no, no, no. I'm like, oh, my bad, my bad.

[Morgan]

But he did say, you know what? I appreciate you doing that. Because it.

[Raymundo]

I mean, you could just say, just kidding, I haven't wanted to meet you. So I thought I'd just be a little funny.

[Amy]

And the next thing you know, you're having dinner with them. You're like, all this, Morgan, do you have one? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So I got something in the mail from Tennessee government, and right on the paper, it said, do now. And I opened this up. I'm panicking. It's for my homeowners association. It's $500. I was like, that's strange. Normally this is like 20 bucks a year. But I'm sitting there, it says, do now, bright red letters. And I'm going on the website. I'm like, okay, I guess I have to pay it. I guess the fees really went up this year. And I'm all the way through. I'm on the last button where I'm about to submit $500 to this. I go, you know, this just feels a little weird. I'm gonna call my mom and just verify. Called her. She goes, let me Google this. Quick Google search. It was a scam.

[Amy]

Oh, wow. Good for you stopping. You got far. Good for you for stopping. Oh, that's a scam. Hey, Ray. Scam alert. Scam alert. Scam alert. So, okay, what are we looking for?

[Lunchbox]

So it looks like you would pay these dues to this place, but. But the reason the government can't shut it down is because technically they are providing a service.

[Amy]

It's a scary scam.

[Lunchbox]

Apparently, they're helping you file your reports, but they're charging you $450 to do it instead of just you filing online. So.

[Amy]

So they're providing a service, but they're taking advantage of it by convincing you that's the actual payment.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly. So you need to make sure you read the entire thing through. Apparently, right in the corner, in teeny tiny letters, it said, this is not an official government document. So you just have to read it, like, so thoroughly.

[Amy]

Well, would you mind giving us your mom's cell phone number on the air so we can all call her? Anybody listening?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she'll help you out.

[Amy]

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

[Lunchbox]

Number two, another thing we all do as adults, we love to shop online, purchase things, especially with the convenience of Amazon. And no, this is not an ad. That's just real life. And so we actually went around the show and everybody admitted their most recent purchase. Some even brought theirs in for show and tell. And it's kind of funny, the wide variety of products we've all bought recently. And I think if you listen closely, you'll kind of see the different places in life we all are at this current moment.

[Amy]

Number three, let's play rate my purchase. Share something you bought online, and then we'll judge it. I'll go first.

[Morgan]

Oh, you brought it.

[Amy]

Yeah, I brought it. So I'm a big Chicago Cubs fan. So this is a Chicago Cubs backpack, and it looks like it's a knockoff Gucci backpack, but it's Chicago Cubs small Backpack. Because I like my purses, you know.

[Katherine Legge]

I mean, that looks like a chick backpack.

[Amy]

So definitely small leather. How much you think this is worth? So it.

[Raymundo]

It is Gucci.

[Amy]

No. Oh, it's a knockoff.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Amy]

It's. It's not even knockoff. It just.

[Raymundo]

But I see the design. It looks like the Gucci design, but.

[Amy]

It'S a Chicago Cubs backpack.

[Raymundo]

It's a small backpack. I don't know if they did a collab.

[Amy]

Trust me, they didn't.

[Katherine Legge]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

Like, you want to carry it?

[Amy]

I do carry. It's awesome. I love it. I often carry around a small bag. It's like, keep it on here, baby. Carry my stuff in it. Have you been a hater?

[Raymundo]

No.

[Amy]

Value it. Value it.

[Raymundo]

$25.

[Amy]

What?

[Raymundo]

How much did you.

[Amy]

How much do you. This is real leather.

[Morgan]

That's got to be 245 bucks.

[Raymundo]

200.

[Amy]

Whoa. See? 45 bucks for this one.

[Raymundo]

So maybe. I thought you had a coupon.

[Morgan]

And I bet people do think that's Gucci.

[Amy]

They shouldn't. It's got a big Chicago Cubs logo on it. Do you think it's. It's like, so small. But I. But I don't care because I carry basically a person.

[Raymundo]

Where. Where are you carrying that?

[Amy]

Just to work. I keep my stuff in it.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Amy]

Why are you being a hater?

[Raymundo]

I. I just. It. It looks very young and feminine.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Amy]

And what do people think about me? Generally? Young and feminine or like.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, like a child. Okay.

[Morgan]

Interesting.

[Amy]

Hater in the house. Okay. What do you have?

[Raymundo]

You're probably gonna hate on mine?

[Amy]

Go ahead.

[Raymundo]

I have balls for my face.

[Amy]

You have two blue balls.

[Raymundo]

So I just ordered these on Amazon and I don't know how to use them yet because I haven't done the tutorial, but they will exercise your face.

[Amy]

So Amy has two balls. They look like they're the shape of juggling balls, and she's shoving them into her cheeks.

[Raymundo]

One is spiky and one is just smooth. And they're supposed to be like, you know, for my face fitness that I'm doing because I'm not getting Botox anymore.

[Amy]

Can I guess what they cost?

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay. $12.

[Raymundo]

Eight. Oh, close.

[Amy]

That's a pretty good purchase then. Cause I would have put them to about 12.

[Raymundo]

Right. So. But eight and eight. The one with the spikes maybe was nine.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Huh. I feel like you can get that at one of those 25 cent machine things.

[Amy]

That's a good point. That's a little big, though. It's a little big, though. Okay. I Like it? I give you a C plus on the purchase.

[Raymundo]

Really? But what if it ends up just relaxing?

[Amy]

If those. If those blue balls end up making you feel great in your face, I'm moving up to a B. I'm moving up to a B.

[Raymundo]

These are blue balls.

[Amy]

They are blue, yes.

[Raymundo]

But if you put this on your temple right now, you will be in heaven.

[Amy]

Okay, well, toss it over here. Can you hit it?

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah, throw it.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Morgan]

She won't miss that.

[Amy]

Oh, she hit a light. Great. Eddie, what do you have?

[Morgan]

Okay, you guys are gonna hate on mine, but this is really cool. This is a plant propagation kit. Okay.

[Amy]

Propagation.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I found it for $20 on Amazon. And basically, you get any plant. I mean, there's just certain ones that don't do it. But most plants, you cut the leaf off of it and you put it in one of these things, and it's just water in there, and it grows a whole new plant. So it's like making babies, but making plants with a.

[Amy]

You take a leaf and it makes a new baby.

[Raymundo]

Oh, so you're a father.

[Morgan]

So these plants right here that you're looking at, I have three of them that started with one leaf, and now they are three full grown plants.

[Amy]

You're invested.

[Katherine Legge]

Where did you get the leaves? Did you, like, cut them out of a neighbor's yard? So, like, you were going for a walk and you saw it and you cut one and then put it in there?

[Morgan]

No, this started from one plant that I bought, like, I don't know, two years ago.

[Amy]

Interesting. Where'd you get that?

[Morgan]

Amazon.

[Amy]

How much?

[Morgan]

I cost $20. So I want to gift you guys. I'm gonna buy a plant.

[Amy]

I don't want one. I don't want one.

[Morgan]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

I don't want one.

[Raymundo]

I want it.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't want one.

[Morgan]

Amy, you're gonna have a money plant pretty soon.

[Raymundo]

Thank you.

[Amy]

I'll waste it. I don't want to waste it. Why don't you buy me one and we'll give it to somebody else?

[Morgan]

Okay. Yeah, sounds good.

[Amy]

I like it. It fulfills your needs of.

[Raymundo]

I mean, I don't want one of those contraptions, but I'll take the plant. Okay.

[Amy]

Oh, I thought you were gonna get us a contraption.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, no, he's giving us a plant.

[Amy]

Oh, I want that less. I want that even less than I wanted a contraption.

[Morgan]

So what do you grade this?

[Amy]

You know, as much as you've been into gardening, which is weird, you've stayed with it. For a bit. Yeah. Gardening and, like, butterflies. You have this whole nature thing now. B plus.

[Morgan]

Let's go.

[Amy]

Only $20.

[Morgan]

B plus, that's pretty cool. And I made three little baby plants.

[Amy]

I got one Amy's balls on my face. I got the spike.

[Raymundo]

Does that feel nice on your temple?

[Amy]

Yeah, I guess. Oh, yeah.

[Raymundo]

Just relax. Breathe into it.

[Amy]

Yeah, I gotta do a show, but maybe. Maybe in a minute. Lunchbox. What'd you buy online? Oh, man.

[Katherine Legge]

I got this Bliss Trends adjustable foot rest for under my desk here at work. Because every time I sit, I have to have my feet on the bottom of the chair. No, I can reach the floor, but it's not as comfortable to get up to the microphone. And so my knees, I had to bend them backwards. In a while, my knees start hurting. So I bought this. It's adjustable. I put it under the desk and I put my feet on it and boom, I can sit. I sit up straight and the mic is the perfect height.

[Raymundo]

I need that.

[Amy]

Can I guess how much? $28, $21. Pretty close.

[Katherine Legge]

It is awesome. It is such a great little foot rest. It is perfect.

[Amy]

It's the squatty potty for no potty. Yes.

[Katherine Legge]

That's exactly where I got the idea. I was like, man, I used a squatty potty at home, and I needed a squatty potty for under my desk. And so I started looking online, and this is what I found. And it's adjustable, so if you're. You can raise it up or down.

[Morgan]

Keeping your shoes on, though, right?

[Katherine Legge]

Yeah, shoes are on. It's fantastic.

[Raymundo]

And you're not using the restroom, right?

[Amy]

You're not pushing, right?

[Katherine Legge]

No, no, it's not a squatty body. I didn't go with the squatty body.

[Amy]

It's the Bliss Trends as a joke. We'll put all these up.

[Katherine Legge]

What do you rate?

[Amy]

What do you rate me if it makes.

[Katherine Legge]

Because look at how much I sit up straight.

[Amy]

I've never noticed your posture, but you are smiling about it, so I give it a minus. I mean, it's awesome.

[Raymundo]

I was smiling about the balls.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you kept shoving them into your face while you were talking. You gave me a C. I know, but only because you hated on my bag. You said I was young and feminine. Yeah, I think I just reciprocated. No, my bag's awesome. Morgan, do you have one?

[Lunchbox]

I do have one, but I tried to bring it into work and I fell down the stairs, so I just left it at home instead.

[Amy]

What was it?

[Lunchbox]

It's a pregnancy pillow. It's like the big U shaped pregnancy pillow.

[Amy]

Drum roll. Have an announcement.

[Raymundo]

No.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Morgan]

Why would you want that?

[Raymundo]

For her Vertigo.

[Lunchbox]

I bought one because I was going through vertigo and it was helping me because I am not a back sleeper. I'm a stomach sleeper, which I know is probably the worst one to have. And I like to sleep on my side and I could not sleep on my back. So I bought this pregnancy pillow thinking this is the craziest idea. I have had the best sleep ever with this pregnancy pillow.

[Amy]

How do you hold it when you sleep?

[Lunchbox]

Well, now, because I'm able to sleep on my side after the vertigo. I cuddle it now. It's like my little pillow that I cuddle with. And it honestly, like, truly, guys, I sleep so much better now with my pregnancy pillow price.

[Amy]

I can't see it. So 30 bucks.

[Lunchbox]

It was 50.

[Amy]

A good pillow worth the money. One of those things where you get what you pay for. It's almost like a refrigerator. You're like, why do I need a good refrigerator? It's just going to put crap in there. But when you have a bad one, which I have, you're like, oh, this thing sucks. Or tires. You get cheap tires. And they, next thing you know, pillows, if you get a good one. Life changer.

[Lunchbox]

And this one's memory foam, so it like molds to your body.

[Amy]

It remembers your sadness every night when you're hungry.

[Lunchbox]

It really, you know, when I'm lonely.

[Amy]

In my bed, I give it a B plus.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Amy]

Although my grades are stupid. Who cares? I gave Amy the lowest one because she hit it on my backpack. We'll put these up on our social media website, bobbybones.com.

[Raymundo]

I'M gonna order lunch boxes. I need that for my feet right now.

[Amy]

You are shorter, though.

[Raymundo]

I know. That's why I'm confused why your legs need it. Can you just lower your chair?

[Katherine Legge]

No, I could, but then the desk. The height of the desk makes it weird with the microphone and maybe he.

[Raymundo]

Has a longer torso.

[Katherine Legge]

No, no, my legs are long.

[Amy]

Johnson over there. Because look.

[Katherine Legge]

No, if I lower my. This is. This is how the chair would be.

[Amy]

Like.

[Katherine Legge]

This is so weird.

[Amy]

It's okay, little guy. It's okay, little guy. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.

This week marked the 8th annual Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots Million dollar show for St. Jude. They've been doing something like this for 10 years but it was the eighth annual of the Million Dollar show with the Ryman and super cool. It's always one of my favorite events. It's fun to see all the artists that come together of all different genres and fun to watch Bobby and Eddie up there and doing some awesome stuff for St. Jude. So it's always really cool. But this year was a little special, particularly for Bobby because he got to reunite with his old band, O Town. Yes, you heard that right, O Town. I'm gonna let you hear his story and how it all went down and his experience.

[Amy]

Number two on the phone, Trish, Linda, Robin and Stephanie, four together. Where do you guys Live. Where are you now?

[Raymundo]

We're on i40, headed back to Oklahoma.

[Amy]

From where?

[Jorge Cham]

From?

[Raymundo]

We just left Nashville.

[Amy]

Oh. Did you come to our show last night? Yes.

[Raymundo]

Yes. That was the reason for the whole trip.

[Amy]

That's awesome. So we did have our million dollar show last night. The Raging Idiots. It's Eddie and myself, and we have a lot of artist friends that play and it's a Tuesday night, so that part's tough because I got like three hours sleep last night, but I felt like it was pretty good. What about you guys?

[Raymundo]

It was so amazing.

[Nathan King]

So amazing.

[Amy]

Did you have a highlight?

[Raymundo]

Oh, my gosh. I looked at those particular. Well, that little girl, she just had a beautiful voice. Yeah.

[Amy]

Iris. What was her name? Iris.

[Raymundo]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

13 years old.

[Raymundo]

Holy cow. She was amazing.

[Amy]

Well, I'm super happy you guys came. Was it good enough that you'd like to come again at some point?

[Raymundo]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely.

[Amy]

I'm not giving you. We don't have tickets. No, no, we don't have tickets. We don't even know if we're. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just wondering if, like. No, yeah, Okay.

[Raymundo]

I totally would. It was the same six times coming to you.

[Amy]

Oh, awesome. Okay. And. And how would you rate the show if you're a teacher on a report card?

[Raymundo]

Oh, A plus.

[Nathan King]

Absolutely.

[Amy]

Well, thank you. Where do you go? Back to Oklahoma.

[Raymundo]

Stillwater. We're out of Stillwater, Oklahoma.

[Amy]

Hey.

[Raymundo]

[Morgan]

[Amy]

[Raymundo]

Shout out.

[Morgan]

[Raymundo]

[Amy]

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

We love.

[Morgan]

I thought you had something else.

[Amy]

No. No way.

[Morgan]

Eskimo Joe's.

[Amy]

Eskimo Joe's is right. Yeah. Thank you guys for coming to the show. Have a safe trip home, and thank you for calling. Thank you guys so much.

[Jorge Cham]

Thank you.

[Amy]

Bye, everybody. We had a great show last night. As far as I think people were entertained. We had. We can tell you a bunch of stories later on, but so after the show yesterday, and Maddie of Maddie and Tay, and, you know, they have a man and a girl in a country song. They have Die from a Broken Heart. Can't sing that one. That's a hard one.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Amy]

But I know them. They've been on the road touring with me before, so I'm super close. And Maddie can just sing so well, so. And Maddie has young kids, so I knew that she'd be awake early in the morning, so I had her come on and try to help me sing. Like I needed a singing lesson. I'm not a good singer. I can sing if I'm doing comedy. I can sing just fine to pull off the comedy. I'm a comedic singer. But when I was singing with O Town, because I used to be in that band a long time ago, and I was a little nervous because they're real vocalists at Maddie teach me some things to try not to suck. And so this is me with Maddie. Go ahead. Memories. I heard it.

[Raymundo]

So it's just a little fancy trick. If you listen to Tay and I's.

[Amy]

Music, that's literally the trick I always.

[Lunchbox]

Do for everything, just to make it, like, feel fancy. And it's like, da, da, da, da, da, da, da.

[Raymundo]

You know, just little runs because it makes people think you're fancy.

[Amy]

Memories like that.

[Raymundo]

Yes. Yeah.

[Amy]

Memories. Yeah. I wasn't that good there. I'll be honest with you.

[Morgan]

I know I'm learning.

[Amy]

I know I'm not good, though. And so then there's a part where it's like, feel it. Feel it in my heart. And so she's teaching me how to do that. How to. Because I would be like, feel it in my heart. Because that's what they do. So I try to just do the runs because that's what they do. I shouldn't do that.

[Raymundo]

I feel it in my heart. You could break up the note so.

[Lunchbox]

It'S not like, like.

[Raymundo]

It's like a weird note.

[Amy]

I feel like this.

[Raymundo]

Feel it in my heart.

[Amy]

Is that it? I feel it in my heart. Oh, yes. Boom. That's beautiful.

[Raymundo]

And then you land on the perfect.

[Lunchbox]

Note, and then you don't have to.

[Raymundo]

Be on this weird note.

[Amy]

I feel it in my heart, dude.

[Katherine Legge]

Yes.

[Raymundo]

Yes.

[Amy]

You guys are really gassing me up. And I appreciate that because hearing it back. Don't need that much gas. It didn't deserve it, but okay. It was showtime last night. I was. I'm not gonna say nervous. I was a little anxious about it, but, like, in a positive way. And I knew even if I sucked, it didn't matter. There was no expectation. Again, I was in O Town before they blew up. I was never a part of their success. And actually, once I started doing radio, they were like, you don't sing good enough anyway. And I'm like, yeah, I want to do this. Anyway, we ended on good terms, but it was super cool for them to come back last night. And this is it. We're singing. Cause I want it all. Nothing at all. Massive hit. And you hear him go. The crowd's yelling, but he's like, let's welcome back our old member Bobby Bones. Here you Go. So B minus. It was better than it was before. I started. I didn't hit my ceiling. I got a little scared at the end that I was so off that I kind of cheated out of it.

[Raymundo]

I was like, there was no heart.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I didn't have confidence. It was very loud, the crowd. Not an excuse. I'm not an excuse guy. The crowd was so loud, too. It. I felt like I couldn't hear myself to make sure I was right.

[Raymundo]

But that's good, though, right? To have. Not that you couldn't hear yourself, but cool that the crowd was loud.

[Amy]

I think the camera was laughing at me. I'll be honest with you. No, but that's okay. No, that's okay. I deserve.

[Raymundo]

That's not true. That's not true. That.

[Amy]

I think it's true. Because they should have. It was funny. I'm not as good as them. It's a boy.

[Raymundo]

I think they were excited.

[Morgan]

It didn't sound like a laugh.

[Amy]

It was fun because I can nail it now. There are times it seems to me I'm living you in memories I feel it in my heart so I don't show it, but I got. I. They were so loud and I couldn't hear the music. And I was like, I have to cheat out of this. And I was like, feel it in my heart. So that was so close. Here's one a little farther away. Abby took this one. Would you hit that one, Ray? So I give it a C, and that way the crowd wasn't screaming over me. I could hear it a little bit. I was okay.

[Morgan]

You went down, though. You first gave it a B minus. Now you went down to a C the second time you listened to it.

[Raymundo]

That's further away.

[Amy]

Well, maybe I'm worse. Maybe I'm worse. It was super fun for me. I don't hate myself after that, and Matty helped me tremendously. I just wish I would have had the confidence to go. Even though I couldn't hear me because I just didn't have the confidence. I haven't done it enough times. No reps. And then we all sang the rest. This was, like, my favorite part because there was no pressure. I could just sing with the guys here, easy. So I am very happy with myself that I did it. I pushed myself. I tried to get better. I did get better. Did I hit out of the Park? No. But I'm announcing now. I'm going on tour with them for 80 shows.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Amy]

And I'm gonna get better by show. 79.

[Morgan]

80 shows.

[Raymundo]

It kind of Sounds like he could be serious.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm doing 80 shows with him.

[Raymundo]

You're doing 80 shows?

[Amy]

I'm doing no shows now.

[Raymundo]

Okay, well, I just clarify.

[Morgan]

Did you believe him any.

[Katherine Legge]

Well, I sold it.

[Raymundo]

No, but he did sell it to a point where I know my aunt, she was at the show last night, and I know that, like, if she's listening right now, she's probably driving back to Tuscaloosa. She. Right when the tickets go on sale, you know, she's come to some of your shows, but she bought tickets, drove up here with her best friend. They were here for a couple days.

[Amy]

Why would she buy tickets when she's your relative? We would have given her tickets.

[Raymundo]

She just support St. Jude, and then she doesn't want to ask for things. So anyway, I feel like I'd probably get a text in about 30 minutes, be like, is Bobby really going on down on tour with hotel? Because, like, I want to get a ticket. So that's why I was like, we should clarify.

[Amy]

I have a lot of stories. So we do. We're doing our podcast a bit different now. The whole radio show goes up as one podcast, and then we do a separate secondary podcast about everything. So we'll spend more time talking about that in the podcast if you go over to the Bobby Bone show and search for that. So thanks to Maddie from Matty and Tay. They crushed it last night as well. They were awesome. Thanks to Maddie for the singing lessons. We're gonna play their new song coming up in a second. We'll take your calls. 877-77-Bobby. And then we'll do the news. I get, like, this false confidence that I actually can't sing. Let's go. It's the best bits of the week show with Morgan number two.

[Lunchbox]

It's always really hard for me when something in the number one spot is not bright and cheery or fun, but sometimes the most important segments on our show aren't. So this week, you may have heard us on our extra podcast where we were opening gifts from a listener named James from Virginia. He had called into our show so, so much, and he would leave the sweetest messages and stories about his life. And we really came to enjoy all of the times that he would call and he would call us. The Bobby Bones show family. Well, he had brought all of us gifts when he was coming up here for the million dollar show and cool moment. Like, if you have time, go listen to us all opening these gifts and how much thought and time James put into every single one. But unfortunately, after the Million Dollar show, we got some not great news about listener James. And that's what you're going to hear here.

[Amy]

Number one, I'm going to do something that I don't normally do. And nobody in the studio knows I'm about to do this. So I know our attention spans are short and if you're listening to like the show and something's not for you, you change it or. So I'm just going to ask you to hang with us for a few minutes, even if you're bored, because I have something that I need to say and something that I need to share. So first we have a listener named James who brought us all these boxes and James calls all the time. Here's a clip of James poking fun at Lunchbox. James from Virginia. And this is 12 seconds. And this is when Lunchbox was going to do Thunder from Down Under.

[Nathan King]

Morning, Bobby. Morning, studio. Thunder. Thunder, y'all. Too much fun. I love my bums family. Have fun tonight. Lunch.

[Amy]

And then lunch Went and danced with a bunch of dudes. It was hilarious. So he showed up at the building and he left. Kaskuba was trying to get him, but he left all these boxes here.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. He's like, I'll be there at 9:30. We think he got here a little earlier and dropped off nine boxes for everyone on the show.

[Amy]

I got goldfish. It's on the post show from Tuesday. So there were a lot of $2 bills and so we. You got how many?

[Raymundo]

I got like four of them.

[Amy]

We didn't know what was going on. There was just money in the box, but it ended up being two dollar bills. So this is James who told us he was here for the Million Dollar show and then due to where he does a Morning Corny in the backstory of the bills.

[Nathan King]

Morning Corny for Amy. Do you know what a Dennis favorite day of the year is? Halloween. And on that note, what I've done for the past several years is I go to my beloved local bank, I get 100 crisp two dollar bills and that's what I hand out. No double dipping. I love Bible and family. Happy Halloween, everybody. No double dipping much. Bye.

[Amy]

So his sister called and left a message. James came to town. James passed away while he was here.

[Raymundo]

No, he didn't stop.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

What? Whoa.

[Amy]

So this is his sister, Dottie Ray play that.

[Jorge Cham]

I called about James from Virginia who.

[Raymundo]

Passed away in Nashville to see your concert. Anyway, I can be re.

[Amy]

I'm his sister.

[Nathan King]

He loves you all so much. You were family to him. I am very grateful.

[Raymundo]

So I'm sorry.

[Amy]

Give me a call.

[Nathan King]

Okay, Bye.

[Amy]

This is James letting us know that he would be here for the Million Dollar Show. And he explains the boxes that he brought all of us.

[Nathan King]

Good morning, Bobby. Morning, studio. I did get a couple tickets to the Million dollar show for St. Jude's children. I have a specific gift box for all y'all. I got something for security guy Tim as well, but I think everybody's gonna be happy. Scuba, please don't mess that up for me, because this is the funnest project that I've put my heart into. Plan on delivering it. I'm not trying to meet y'all. That's not what it's about. It's about saying thank you because you are just awesome people. I just think the world of all y'all. I love my boss family. All right, I'll hear you all in the morning. I'm talking too much. You're awesome.

[Amy]

I'm out.

[Nathan King]

Bye.

[Amy]

So Scuba tried to find him, though, but he left him and then was gone. I'll give you a couple more clips, and I'll give you some more information. This is James from Virginia explaining his love for the Bobby Buncho family.

[Nathan King]

But there is an I in family, and that's what the Bob Bones family is. Certainly from the bleacher seat from me. Hey, it's an eye. I am family because that's who y'all are together. I love Bob Bones family. Please take care of Amy. I'll be the best of the bestest. Love y'all. Y'all in the morning. Bye.

[Amy]

Here's James signature. Goodbye.

[Nathan King]

Anyway, I love Bob Bones fam. I truly do. You're awesome. All right, back to your regularly scheduled programming. See y'all tomorrow.

[Amy]

Bye. So here's what I know. James passed away somewhere between Tuesday night after Eddie and I's Raging Idiots Million Dollar Show. Some people were saying that they saw him there. I couldn't find him. So then his sister didn't think he went. Scuba, do we think he went to the show?

[Morgan]

We do. I think just based on some comments, Abby saw some stuff. People said they met James. They were excited to meet him because he's this, you know, this focal point in our show. Yeah, but the thing is, there's no picture, though.

[Amy]

I've never seen the guy, and I couldn't find him.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we couldn't find him because we don't know what he looks like. We just know what his voice sounds like. So I'm, like, listening for this voice because it's such a signature, you know, it's very synonymous to him. And we never saw him.

[Amy]

So what happened was someone called the police station from a gas station to inform them they found someone unresponsive in their parked car. Cause of death is tbd. No foul play. An autopsy is being done today. So that sucks. And that's extremely sad. And James was, yeah, in the past two years a constant part of the show because we played as voicemails all the time. We would call him and talk to him on the post show. We even had to say, hey, James, like when you leave seven minute messages, we can't play them. Like you got to cut your messages down a little bit. And so he did and he brought us all this stuff. This is my James Bell that I have. And so I don't even really know what else to say except for I just found out just a little bit ago and very sorry for his family. I wanted to play this and this is one of those where I go, hey, you may go. Normally you change it. I get it. But this is the kind of the one that I didn't play ever. And it's a:30. We did not air it because of the runtime. And I've talked about my stepdad and how I didn't have a dad growing up. And then my stepdad came into my life and when I was 12 or 13 years old, I was already wired in a way, but I was then wired in a way with some security because I had a stepdad that cared for me and loved me. And that's Arkansas Keith, who isn't my stepdad anymore because my mom and him got divorced. They'll never not be that. And so we were just talking about that. And James always has stories about our story, like something that related to it. So here's a:30. It's James's story about being a stepfather and taking him fishing. Here you go.

[Nathan King]

Morning, Bobby. Morning studio. Your show is all about positivity. So I don't know how you do the spin on this one, but I'm older now at the sunset of my life. Anyway, I dated this lady like 5 years. Pianist on JD. He wasn't doing very well in school and lived with his father and he came live with us. He was all 8 years old. I'd never been a father. Don't even know what it's like to be a father. Had no idea. But he tried to find something to bond with. Oh my God. I took that kid fishing. If not 9 times, 90 times, little JD could not catch a fish. It wasn't gonna happen. I took them to where the fish literally jump on the hook. Oh, I tried so hard. And then the grades were coming in. Tried to help with his homework, and I told him, bring home your report card and I'll take you fishing. 6:30 in the morning. Oh, my gosh. Me and his mom were out late in a. JD Was knocking on that door, hey, you're taking me fishing. I got my grade where he couldn't catch a fish. And I told him, you're gonna have to turn your tackle box. That man, that young man could outfish me. I mean, he'd catch five bass, I'd catch three. His were bigger than mine. One of the proud moments of my life, you know, sorry's mom, you know, cheated so much when I left her. He was pulling him on things, crying, trying to hug me. Don't go. Don't go. But had to for my own mental health.

[Amy]

So that was James, who we spent a lot of time with on this show. We spent a lot of time calling the show who. I'm thankful that he felt like we were his friends and like he says, family, you know, On a bigger note, I hope that a lot of you guys feel that way. We come in this room and we have all been friends for so long, decades even. And we hope that you feel like you have a relationship with us. And James did. And we felt the same way about James because there were times we just wanted to get him on and talk with him more than just voicemails. We'd always play the voicemails. And, yeah, it makes me really sad. I do not know what he looked like is what's crazy. We looked for him, but it's hard to look for somebody when you don't know. But that was the problem. I was like, is James here? And they were like, what's he look like? I don't know. And even when he was here, Scuba was trying to get him, and he left before we could get him. But he sent us all these gifts.

[Raymundo]

Like huge boxes, huge boxes full of all kinds of things. And then he just. Yeah, poof, Disappeared.

[Amy]

So that makes me very sad. It makes me happy that he feels like he had some friends and family in us. And that sucks. Don't know what happened. They don't know what happened. But he was here. He went to our show. Maybe that was a really fun final thing for him to do, because I know he drove all the way here and said he was coming I regret that we didn't like to meet him.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So, James, rest in peace, buddy. We appreciate you being a part of the show. We appreciate you feeling like we're your friends. You felt like a friend to us. It's going to be weird not having your voicemails because for every one I played there were 11 we didn't get to because he called a lot and we loved it.

[Raymundo]

And it's just another reminder how fragile life is. I mean, he said he was older in that one clip and I like how he said he was in the sunset, sunset side of life.

[Amy]

And I don't even know if that's because he was older or sick.

[Raymundo]

Right. We don't know. And who. We would have never thought like with him coming up here and delivering packages and going to the show that that would be the, the final or. Or did he know something? Yeah.

[Amy]

That is where my mind went. So rest in peace to our buddy James. Thank you everybody for listening through that. We appreciate it and we will come back. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two again.

[Lunchbox]

It's always really hard for me to put something like that in the number one spot because I do want to leave you guys on a high note always. But I think listener James deserved the number one spot this weekend. He was clearly a very kind and great person, especially a lot of listeners who got to interact with him at the Million Dollar show shared that. So he deserves this number one spot and I know he would listen to best fans. So hopefully he's somewhere out there listening now and gets to hear that he made that number one spot and we're all just really thankful for people like James in our lives. So hug your loved ones, enjoy your weekend, please stay safe and I love you. Thanks for being here. You guys are all awesome and if James is any indication, I love that we get to connect with you guys, our listeners in this way all the time.
