The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part 1 Behind the Scenes with.
Eddie
A member of the show.
Morgan
Welcome to the weekend everybody. It is the Best Bits Part one. Morgan here and Eddie is joining me. Hi, Eddie.
Eddie
What's up?
Morgan
You know, we had a little freak out there for a second that Eddie was not going to be able to do best bits.
Eddie
Yeah, I know. I mean, it's weird. I never call in sick, but last night, like, I was thinking, like, there's no way I can go to work tomorrow. I was like, in bed with the chills and like, I was freezing and everyone in the house is like, it's so hot in here, dad. And so, I don't know, I took some ibuprofen, I drank a lot of water, I went to sleep. Slept for like 12 hours. I feel. I mean, I don't feel like 100%, but I'm good to go.
Morgan
Yeah, we were. We were just talking about how it's just that time of year. Like, we're just in that space where everybody's getting sick, nobody feels great about themselves. Like, we're just. That's where we're at now.
Eddie
We're just doing it. We're surviving. I feel like that's where I'm at every day. We're just surviving. Everyone's like. Everyone's like, how you doing? I'm like, surviving. I'm alive.
Morgan
You know, I do feel like there should be a little bit more moments where you're not just surviving.
Eddie
I know, I know. I'm waiting for that time. That's retirement.
Morgan
Speaking of. Not retirement, but you are surviving. You did break your arm. You're sitting here in a sling.
Eddie
I'm going to.
Morgan
You didn't get a cast. Like, we. Let's. Like, how are you feeling? How's life with a broken arm?
Eddie
So I'll give you, like, the whole story. It sucks being one armed and like, I can. I've got. It's been what, a week now? And I can do a little bit of rotation in my hand. So. So here's what happened. I was roller skating, I fell, I broke the bone. It's called a radius bone, but it's right where it's connected to the elbow. So that's what causes your wrist to go. That bone is kind of like the bone that helps your wrist go left.
Morgan
To right, which you really need because, you know, you use your wrist bone when you're editing videos all the time.
Eddie
It's like you don't even realize how much you turn your wrist in life until you can't use it. And so I went to the E.R. the night that I fell and they were like, I'm not going to put a cast on it. Go to the orthopedic on Tuesday, because it was MLK day on Monday. So wait till Tuesday, go to the orthopedic, and they'll kind of tell you what they want to do. I don't want to put a cast on it. And then them say, like, oh, we need to do some surgery. Take the cast off, so let's just not put a cast on it. So then on Tuesday, I went to the orthopedic, and they did more X rays on it, and they said, yeah, confirmed what they thought was wrong is what is wrong. And. And they're like, but your bone. This is not me, like, saying anything cool about me. But they said the muscle is so strong in the area that it kept everything together. So, like, where it broke, it's still attached to the muscle, and it didn't move. So it's good. And it's even kind of trying to heal itself already. So let's not do a cast. Stay in the sling, ice it every. As much as you can every day, and even try to move it a little bit every day.
Morgan
Oof. So, like your own kind of physical therapy.
Eddie
Yes. So the pain is, like, when it just sits there, not so bad now a week down the road, not so bad. But what happens, Morgan, is that it's almost like. You know how when you just kind of sit and fidget, like, and just kind of tap your finger or whatever or even just, like, slap your knee? Well, my muscles just do that randomly. And when it does that, my whole arm just gets a shot of pain. And that happens 20 times a day.
Morgan
Oh, Eddie.
Eddie
And even, like, when you're standing up, I'm gonna stand up real quick. And you don't even think about it. But your right arm acts like it's going to grab this armrest to help myself up, and it doesn't, but it just moves a little bit. And that whole muscle where it's broken feels like it's ripping. It's tearing that bone.
Morgan
It's like muscle memory. So your brain is remembering that your body needs to do things, but your body part can't do that at this moment.
Eddie
Right.
Morgan
So it's like, trying to get them on the same page.
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
Does it? Were you mad that you didn't end up getting a cast?
Eddie
Well, I asked him, like, but I don't. So I'm really worried because, like, it's already kind of just jerking a little bit, and I feel like I'm gonna just rip it. He's like, you won't. You won't make it Worse, like, unless you bang it on something or hit it really hard, you're not going to knock it out of place again. So. And he's like, if you want to cast, we can do it, but it's bulky, it's a pain in the butt, and you get in the shower, it's a pain in the button life. Pain in the butt, wearing a shirt.
Morgan
Yeah. And you have to cover it when you shower. I've had a few casts in my life.
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
And you have to cover it when you take a shower, and especially on your hand. Like, you kind of just have to hold your hand basically out of the water. It's a really uncomfortable situation.
Eddie
Yeah. So anyway, he was like, yeah, I mean, we could do it if you want. And I just don't see the need. If you're careful, I don't see the need to put a cast on it.
Morgan
So then how long do you have to be in the sling for?
Eddie
Well, the sling's probably going to be like a four to five week deal.
Morgan
Okay.
Eddie
He said the whole process is probably going to be six to eight weeks.
Morgan
Where it's actually fully healed.
Eddie
Where it's actually fully healed now. He said that if you don't. If I don't try to do a little physical therapy on my own, like every day, move my fingers, make a fist, try to straighten my arm, which I can't really straighten my arm all the way, but if I can work on that every single day while I'm sitting on the couch or whatever he's like, that will reduce the amount of physical therapy I will need later.
Morgan
So you will need physical therapy, though.
Eddie
Probably because, I mean, my arm is immobile. So, like, I think after six weeks, your arm forgets, like, to do what it normally does, and then you have to kind of train it again.
Morgan
Well, and your brain, you know, I've never broken any major bones. Like, I've broken fingers and just kind of random things.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
So. But I do remember you feel very hesitant to use it again.
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
That's where the problem lies. It's not more that, like, it's not healed and it can't do those things. You're like, I don't want to because I'm scared. And your brain, that's when your brain's finally catching up to what's happening. It takes all that time and then it's delayed.
Eddie
But there are two different kinds of people. Like, there are us, the careful ones, who are like, ooh, I don't want to grab that bottle because I can Hurt myself if I rotate it. And there are people that. I don't care. Grab a bottle. Oh, it hurts. I'm gonna grab it anyway. So, like, that's kind of what the doctor's saying. Like, if you're gonna be a dumbass, I'm sorry. If you're gonna be an idiot, like, you will cast it.
Morgan
Okay.
Eddie
But if you're not, like, if you could just be careful and not do things you know you're not supposed to do. Like, you're good where you're at. Just be careful.
Morgan
Okay. So you're not an idiot, and you have muscle.
Eddie
Yeah, strong muscle that kept my bone together.
Morgan
That's what we're gonna focus the energy on. Is your wife a little bit annoyed? She's like. Because now she's kind of having to pull a little bit more weight just because there's things you can't do.
Eddie
She did say that she misses two arm, daddy. Like, for sure. And just little things. Just little things. Like, can you do the dishes for me tonight? I can't cook. Which I'm. I love to cook, and, like, that's my thing. And I can't really do that right now. Like, I tried to heat something up yesterday with one arm. It's so hard.
Morgan
It just takes you 20 times.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. It's so hard to even scoop something out of, like, the pan.
Morgan
So she's like, I have another child. This is lovely. For five weeks.
Eddie
Yes. Yes.
Morgan
Oh, man. And what have we learned from this lesson?
Eddie
I don't know. I don't know, Morgan. Because, like, yes. I think the obvious is, you know, you can't do stuff like that anymore. But that's kind of my personality. Like, going to a roller skating rink with my kid for, like, their birthday party. Like, how lame would I be just sitting there and be like, all right, guys, have fun. You got three hours. Like, I'll be sitting right here.
Morgan
Okay. I don't think that's the lesson. I think you can still do things. I think the lesson is that don't go too hard. Maybe we don't do that extra lap. Maybe we just take it a little bit easier. Maybe we realize that we've had a lot of life or not quite back in college anymore.
Eddie
I know.
Morgan
So you can still do all those things. I know, but pull back a little bit.
Eddie
But my kids love it when we go hard. We'll still do full court basketball. When we go to the gym and there's no one there, like, the basketball gym, me and my whole family, we'll do full court basketball every. And they want me to play hard. They don't want me just to be like, oh, try to steal the ball, dad. No, they love it when dad goes hard because they really want to beat me. So, like, when he says, dad, let's race. They really want to beat me. And I'm like, I gotta go full.
Morgan
You don't have to, though. They can think that you are without you actually doing it. You know your limits. You know, like, what your body is capable of. Especially now I know, you know, like, this is a lesson.
Eddie
I was skating so well, though. Like, I was doing so well. And my wife even got out there and she couldn't let go of the wall. I'm like, come on.
Morgan
No, Eddie, this. This reminds me of the moment when. Okay, so I grew up roller skating. Or rollerblading, I should say. Rollerblading is the one with the single.
Eddie
Single line.
Morgan
Because, Kansas, it's all flat everywhere, right? I used to rollerblade all over my neighborhood. No big deal. Well, two years ago, I'm like, I want to get back into rollerblading. Bought a nice pair of rollerblades. And I'm like, I'm going to rollerblade in my neighborhood. Because that's what I did growing up. So I, you know, put my on. I didn't have a single pad on. I didn't have a help. I didn't have anything on. Right. I lasted two minutes before I rounded the corner in the hills of Tennessee and I go tumbling. Broke my tailbone. I had a huge strawberry all night.
Eddie
You did? When was this?
Morgan
Oh, yeah, this is like, two years ago. You don't remember that we talked about the broken tailbone on the show mostly. Cause, like, it sucked to sit down.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
Like you want to talk about.
Eddie
Oh, you did have a. Do you have a donut?
Morgan
I don't think I got a donut.
Eddie
Okay.
Morgan
I was just suffering through the pain.
Eddie
That's brutal.
Morgan
And that was my moment where I realized, okay, you can do the things that you would like to do, but let's make sure you wear pads. Let's make sure we're prepared.
Eddie
Do you want me to go to the skating rink with pads? You know how lame that would be? Like, this is. This is what's crazy. Like, after it happened, you turn in. It's so weird how your mind works. Like, as soon as it happened, like, the kids weren't ready to go yet. They wanted to skate for, like, 10 more minutes. I said, 10 more minutes, and I sat down and I watched Everyone in the rink. And my arm was throbbing at that point. It's like, it hurts so bad. And I'm like, I see five older dudes older than me. I'm like, how come he. I'm sure he's fallen and like a guy probably my age going as fast as I am, like, I'm sure he's fallen. Like, why am I the one that broke my arm on a fall that didn't even seem like it was that bad, you know? And then you start seeing people like, oh, Pick up their kids with both arms. Like, well, that must be nice having two arms to pick up your K. You immediately start feeling like life's just not fair.
Morgan
It is that. But that's always been true, right? Like, that's always been a thing beyond this moment, beyond everything. Life is just not fair. All that to be said, you can still do all of these things. You just have to know your own limits. Of like, okay, maybe we don't go 50 miles an hour. Maybe we don't go fast. 35.
Eddie
Sure.
Morgan
Just pull back just a little in different areas. For me, it's. I need to wear pads if I'm going to try something again for the first time.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Or gymnastics. I, you know, pulled my hip bone, like the rotator cuff of my hip bone when I was trying to do things that a 31 year old should not be doing.
Eddie
To your defense, though, you were doing really well. Like some of the videos you posted, like, dude, you're killing it.
Morgan
But see, this is like you. Like, I was doing really well.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
We have to know our limits. We can do these things and we can continue to keep doing them. We just have to know when we're probably pushing it a little too hard.
Eddie
You're right. You're right.
Morgan
That's our limit.
Eddie
I know, I know.
Morgan
And that sucks because it sucks. Like, right? It sucks to get older. It just does.
Eddie
It does.
Morgan
The reality.
Eddie
But like when I broke my foot though, like, that was. I was just playing baseball. We were just catching and Bobby overthrew the ball and I jumped for it and my foot land, landed the wrong way on the base. Like, that's just such a freak little accident. The fact that I did that last year. I'd never broken a bone before that, Morgan. Never. That was kind of my thing, you know, Like, I've never broken a bone. It's pretty cool. Last year I broke my foot.
Morgan
Maybe you manifested this.
Eddie
Maybe I did, Maybe I did.
Morgan
But.
Eddie
But like for years, like people, you know how we do bits on the show, like, what's something that you've never done? I've never broken a bone, but last year, broke my foot. This year, break my arm.
Morgan
Eddie, you manifested that the universe, like, that's what you're going to keep saying, jokes on you.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
We're going to make you break two major bones.
Eddie
Watch this.
Morgan
Figure this out. It's also just. It's not even just the breaking of it. Right. It's the recovery time. It just takes longer to recover. It took me almost a year. I still can't quite hit my tailbone in the right way.
Eddie
Really.
Morgan
And my hips sometimes will still. I'm like, oh, there it is again. And you're gonna have that now forever. That's gonna be part of your moments where you're like, oh, that hurts a little bit.
Eddie
This little twig, like, whatever people always say, too. Like, oh, you know, I can sense the weather coming. Like, I know when a storm's coming because my bone starts aching.
Morgan
And it's the ones you always injure. And that's the one that.
Eddie
Yeah. So we've learned the lesson is don't go that hard.
Morgan
You can still.
Eddie
You can still do things, but don't overdo it.
Morgan
Yeah. Just, you know, pull back maybe a little hair, if you will.
Eddie
Just a little bit.
Morgan
Just a little bit. But also kind of badass. Denny, look at you. You broke your arm roller skating. No.
Eddie
It's such a bad story. Every time I tell a story, people are like, you were roller skating. And then I have to be like, no, no. It was my kid's birthday party. Like, he wanted to go roller skating, and I went out there with him.
Morgan
Just own it. You know what? You're living up your life and you're out there and you're like, yeah, I did. That happened. Was it dumb? Absolutely. But is it a great story to tell? Yes, it is.
Eddie
It is.
Morgan
You know, and now you have a story. Before you didn't have a story.
Eddie
That's right. That's right. Well, what would have been the story? I went roller skating last night. It was awesome.
Morgan
Cool.
Eddie
My kids.
Morgan
That's a great story, Eddie.
Eddie
Not really, but, man, I broke my arm roller. Roller skating. That's the story.
Morgan
That's the story. Oh, my goodness. Okay. Well, thanks for sharing. I'm really glad you're on the mend.
Eddie
Yeah, man. We're on the up and up. And you're on pain meds, so I'm on, yeah, a little bit of pain meds, but mostly I'm trying to get off the Pain meds and go to ibuprofen now, which is like 600 milligrams, I think, which is three ibuprofens. Like, regular store ibuprofens.
Morgan
Gotcha.
Eddie
So I just do that every six hours.
Morgan
Any particular reason or you're just, like, not.
Eddie
I just don't like pain meds.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Like, you hear all the stories about people getting hooked on pain meds, and honestly, I don't feel it the way people explain it. Like, I kind of feel like I get tired on the pain meds and a little groggy and a little moody when they. When, like, it starts fading and fading off. You start feeling a little weird about it. Like, I don't know, like, it just feels like a bad hangover. You know what I'm talking about?
Morgan
This shouldn't be how I feel.
Eddie
Yeah, I don't like that feeling. So the ibuprofen, you don't get that feeling with that?
Morgan
Yeah, no, that's something normal that people take every day.
Eddie
Sure. The ibuprofen, it's like the pain went away, and now the pain's coming back.
Morgan
You know what's funny is when I. So, did you ever have your wisdom teeth taken out? So you still have your wisdom teeth?
Eddie
I think so.
Morgan
Wild. Okay. I. So I got mine taken out in high school, and they gave you lor tabs, which is, like, a pain med. And because it's supposed to help you get, like, dry sockets, and that's really painful or whatever. Well, I took these lor tabs, and, Eddie, I was so sick, I lost 10 pounds in, like, two days. And they had to rush me to the ER, like, through the IV. This tells you how much I hate needles. I kicked the nurse because I did not want her putting a needle in.
Eddie
That's what I'm talking about.
Morgan
Even though I was, like, deathly ill. Yeah. From these lore tabs. The lore tabs caused all of that.
Eddie
Wow.
Morgan
And I had to, like, sleep with an IV in for, like, a couple hours just to get me back to a little bit normal. And it was all because I got stupid wisdom teeth out and they gave me pain meds.
Eddie
Were you allergic to the pain meds or something?
Morgan
It's possible. We don't really know. We just know that, like, that is the only introduction into my system that, you know, hadn't had before.
Eddie
So do you take pain meds when you, like. Like when you fell on your butt, did you take pain meds?
Morgan
No. And I had gotten some, but I was just like, I don't I don't know what this react. This is also why, like, that experience also, you know, it kind of helped me in a way. I never had the gene that I wanted to explore drugs.
Eddie
Sure. Because I'm the same.
Morgan
Like, it gave me this, like, okay, that had that reaction, and that was something that was legal for me to take. I don't need to know what anything illegal is going to do to my body.
Eddie
Right.
Morgan
It had, like, that. So at least it helped in that way.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
But I just don't. I've never had that, like, gene for it, so now I just don't really. I try and stay away in general from any type of hard drug, even if it's prescribed.
Eddie
I know. And it's funny because, like, when something like this happens, the doctors are so quick to just be like, do you want pain meds? And I think the answer always is, like, sure, like, I'll take pain meds. But it's. It's. I don't know. Like, my. I've always kind of just kind of been like, I'm good. Like. And plus, I kind of like the pain to kind of know where I'm at, you know?
Morgan
Like, okay, that feels a little weird.
Eddie
Well, it's not like. No, it's not like I like the pain because it feels. I get to feel something.
Morgan
I was like, might have a little concern here, but okay.
Eddie
No, I like the pain to kind of see where I'm at with the injury, like. Because really, if you're on pain meds the whole time, you'll never know. Like, am I recovering? I don't know. Like, look at my arm. It's extended. I'm probably breaking it as I'm extending it. But, like, if you're off pain meds or even just kind of like, you get to feel like, oh, no, no, it still hurts. Still broken.
Morgan
Yeah, that's true. Because it does. It numbs you. That's the purpose of it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
And sometimes you need it. Sometimes there's no other way to go through things. But I get in this situation, you're like, okay, let's not do this.
Eddie
They do say, like, don't mix alcohol with it. I'm like, why not?
Morgan
There's a reason. Trust me. I can tell you. Even there was one time I had, like. I think it was like, amoxicillin. I had, like, a virus and they gave me. Or what, Whatever. The antibiotic. Right. They're like, do not drink alcohol. I remember one time I was like, I'm not okay.
Eddie
Really? You Mixed it with antibiotics. And you were feeling weird because I.
Morgan
Was in college and I was like, it's fine. I'll go drinking and it'll be okay. Oh, no, Eddie. Like, an hour in, I literally was like, I am on another planet. I am not sure what's happening to my body. It felt very out of body type experience.
Eddie
In a good way, though. Like, if you were a druggie, like, would you be like, yeah, maybe.
Morgan
But I wasn't. So I started freaking out. Like, somebody take me home. Like, I'm done.
Eddie
I'm tapping out, so I'm the same way. Something like, when just taking something that makes you feel out of control, I don't like that.
Morgan
Wait, hold on. Taking a break real quick. We're coming right back.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah. Hey, y'all, this is Reed from the God's country podcast. We had the one and only Bobby Bones in the studio this week, and we cover everything from his upbringing to his outdoor experiences with the stepdad, Arkansas Keith, to the state of country music. We may even end the episode with a little jam session led by Bobby himself. Y'all be sure and listen to this episode of God's country with Bobby bones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Don't go shopping at Target with khaki pants and a red shirt on. Don't go shopping at Target with khaki pants and a red polo shirt on.
Morgan
Switch up song. An old lady came up to me.
Eddie
She said, how much for this Cream of Wheat?
Morgan
Welcome. My name is Paola Pedrosa, a medium.
Eddie
And the host of the Ghost Therapy.
Morgan
Podcast, where it's not just about connecting with deceased loved ones. It's about learning through them and their new perspective. Join me on the Ghost Therapy podcast. Whoa.
Eddie
My lights in my living room just flickered.
Morgan
I'm a little nervous. I'm excited. I'm excited nervous. You know, I'm very spiritual person, so I'm like, I'm ready and open. That was amazing. I feel so grateful right now. I got to speak to my great grandmother Abuela, and she gave me a lot of really good advice that I'm gonna have to really think about.
Eddie
Wow. Okay. That's crazy.
Morgan
Yes, that is accurate. Listen to the Ghost Therapy podcast as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Eddie
Good people. What's up? It's Questo Questlove and Team supreme, and I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical lover. We enjoy speaking to the people who were the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers. But we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one on one conversations, like I'm Jay Pill chatting up with hitmaker Sam Holland, Sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasures in doing one on one conversations with Willow Sonata, Matreya, Kathleen Hanna and the rza. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back and you check those episodes out, alright? Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Morgan
What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Mini Questions. Over the years, we've had some incredible guests. People like Courteney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the uk, Tony Blair. And now Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person story with new lessons, new memories and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to Mini questions on the iHeartRadio.
Eddie
App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morgan
Seven questions. Limitless answers. Okay, so you don't like feeling out of control. I don't think that's unuseful though.
Eddie
I don't know. Some people like getting so hammered that, like, they're cool with it.
Morgan
Yeah, I guess that's true.
Eddie
But like, I don't want something that's gonna make me feel like, all right, whatever, whatever my body wants to do, just do it. Like, yeah, because I like some drugs. Like, yeah, it's not you. It's not you doing it.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Or it is you doing it, but it's a part of you that has been unexplored and it wants to get out.
Morgan
Yeah. That's why, like, everybody's like, I went to a forest and did this or something. So you're not around people or whatever. I'm like, do you like, realize how that kind of says when you say it?
Eddie
Uh huh.
Morgan
Like you had to go to a forest to have this in your body. Do you feel like that's normal, but.
Eddie
At the same time, like, you know, it's like, oh, no, it's the drugs. But you can blame it on the drugs, but the drug's not making you. Whatever you're doing, like, that's you.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
And the drugs just taking every little bit of the word I'm looking for.
Morgan
Every little bit of like, subconscious part of you.
Eddie
Discipline. Or the part of you that says, like, oh, don't do that. The drug just takes that away.
Morgan
It's like when you're on alcohol and they say like, the truth. What do they say with like, the truth?
Eddie
The truth comes out.
Morgan
Yeah, but they say like, the truth starts something. There's like a saying that goes along where there's like, you, alcohol, like, induces the truth or whatever, like, versus. And you're like, I'm sorry, I was drinking. No, that was like. You felt that way.
Eddie
You really meant that? Yeah, but the alcohol takes those inhibitions off.
Morgan
There it is. Inhibitions.
Eddie
Inhibitions, yeah.
Morgan
So I'm not sure how we walk down this winding road, but.
Eddie
Pain meds. Pain meds.
Morgan
That's how we did. We did. That was good. Well, I did. Speaking of, like, also just pain meds and stuff, Remy's on some right now. She had her dental surgery.
Eddie
Oh, how did that go, Eddie?
Morgan
I was, I was a wreck. I don't, I don't know how you have kids, honestly, like, this is how I am with Remy and I am a disaster.
Eddie
Oh yeah.
Morgan
Like, I passed her off to them and I was sobbing. They're like, it's. She's going to be back to you in like two hours. I was like, I don't care. I was. And I sat in the office the whole time and they would come out and update me as it was happening. She had to end up having two teeth pulled. So. And they were like big teeth. So it wasn't like a, you know, it felt more kind of like my wisdom teeth situation. Like you had to have some. It was an invasive surgery for her mouth and so she ended up coming out and she was so, so drugged. So she. There's like these phases. So I got to be with her while she was waking up. That was like my request. And so she's in her bed next to me. We're like sitting in the vets like, just like front office.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
And she's waking up and her tongue starts drooping out. And she's just like, she's feeling good. So, so high, she cannot move. She keeps trying. I'm like, just lay down. This is not. You're not here yet. So then we finally get release. They're like, you can go home. So I'm like, okay, I haven't eaten. This is. At this point, it's 1:00pm and I'm like, I have not eaten a single thing. I'm starving. I'm gonna grab food on our way because I can't leave you. So I like, put an order in for a sandwich and I run in to, like, pick this up. I'm gone maybe 30 seconds. Right when I left her, she was in my front seat, passed out in her dog bed, like, wasn't moving. I come out, this dog is sitting in my driver's seat, like, sitting up.
Eddie
She's turned the car on. She's got it in drive.
Morgan
She's literally sitting there and her eyes are half open and she's so high. Sitting in my driver's seat.
Eddie
Oh, my gosh.
Morgan
And this dude had, like, walked by right at the perfect time. He's like, is your dog okay? And I was like, she just had a surgery. I swear, I'm a good dog, mom. That's not my fault.
Eddie
Her tongue sticking out.
Morgan
She looked high, like she was not okay. And she just looked mad. Like, what is happening to me?
Eddie
She's grumpy. Those pain pills, man, they make you grumpy.
Morgan
They do. And she didn't listen, Eddie. She didn't. None of that wore off until probably like 8:00 at night.
Eddie
Wow, that's amazing.
Morgan
Like, she was. She was still coming out of it for a long time. So.
Eddie
So what was wrong with her teeth? Like, were they there so bad her on them?
Morgan
She just. Her breed, whatever she has under her is just like genetic. They get more tartar than others, which is crazy. Like, I do think had I not been brushing her teeth every night, they would have been significantly worse and she would have had more teeth pulled. Yeah, because there's some. Some dogs that they end up having to have all of them by the time they get older pulled. So I think it would have been worse. But yeah, just genetically she had tartar. So it was. Was supposed to be just like a dental cleaning. And then they're like, yeah, we're gonna have to take two of these little suckers out.
Eddie
Poor baby.
Morgan
I know. But she still has all her canines so she's technically still, you know, she's still a dog. Yeah, she's still. She's still got those. It's just the back ones back there somewhere.
Eddie
Because that's like demasculating if you take those canines out.
Morgan
Well, are you even a dog, Hazel? Like, so cats have two of them, right? Like, they're kind of like little things. And when I got Hazel, like, they. I had to take her for a dental surgery because she came from such a bad situation that when I got her back, oh, that poor cat was so drugged up. And a cat on drugs is so much worse than a dog. A dog will lay there and just, like, let it be what it is. For the most part, a cat wants to bop around and you're like, dude, you can't walk.
Eddie
Really?
Morgan
It's horrible. It's horrible, Eddie. But she only has one snaggle tooth. All the rest of her teeth are gone.
Eddie
That's funny, because our cats, like, lazy. I feel like they would really want to just lay around and do nothing.
Morgan
They are, but they also. There you are talking about, like, wanting to be in control of something. Like cats, like, their ability to, like, be in control of the situation, and they're not. Like, when she was under so many different medicine and coming out of anesthesia. That poor cat. I have never felt so bad for an animal. Like, I felt horrible for Remy, but at least she was chill with it. Hazel did not want any part of it. Like, and she made accidents on herself because she didn't know what was happening. It was just bad. But so she has one. One little thing left. And then, you know, Remy. So we got. We got lots of tooth situations. She really does. I see it, like, come out sometimes when she's eating. I'm like, we're using that one tooth, man.
Eddie
Oh, poor girl.
Morgan
Sad it is. So we had that happen.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
And apparently I looked like a bad dog mom because she looked high in the front seat.
Eddie
Nah, they're probably just like, what's the. I've never seen a dog look like that.
Morgan
No. And let me show you the picture. You're gonna die. You're gonna laugh so hard. So we did have that. I also went back to Wichita, which I'll tell you about. Look at this, Eddie, you pro. Hadn't seen it.
Eddie
Oh, my gosh. She does look high, right? She's like, hey, man.
Morgan
She's literally like a Bob Marley type situation. Like, little.
Eddie
That's so funny.
Morgan
In the driver's seat. I'm like, this dog is not normal.
Eddie
That's crazy how, like, dogs don't have different facial expressions for the most part.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
She definitely looks different.
Morgan
She was so high and I was like. Didn't want to laugh. I felt so bad, but I was like, this is funny.
Eddie
Oh, my gosh. That's hilarious.
Morgan
Yeah. So that was Remy, but she's doing better. Back to normal. Life's good. I'm happy it's over. I'm really happy it's over. And then I went back to Wichita quickly for the weekend before that surgery, and I did a event with Nicole Gallion and Logan Mize. It was like a. Oh, cool.
Eddie
Charity event the Kansas peeps did. Nicole Galleon moved back to Kansas. She's there, right?
Morgan
Yeah, yeah, she moved back. So she did a, like, firstborn fundraiser for her charity, like, with her label that she does. And it was so cool. Eddie, you would have loved it. It was like they did it kind of Bluebird style. And Nicole, Rodney Clauss and her husband, Lauren Watkins, her husband, or soon to be husband, Will Bundy. And then Logan Myers and his wife Jill.
Eddie
That's cool.
Morgan
And they.
Eddie
Does Logan's wife play too?
Morgan
Yeah, they, like, kind of. They released a couple's album together, but so there was all couples on stage. But it was crazy because, like, the star power that was on that stage in, like, Little Hutchinson, Kansas.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Morgan
Was insane. Cause, like, Nicole and Rodney together have multiple number one songs.
Eddie
So many hits.
Morgan
And Will Bundy is one of the writers behind you'd look like youe Love Me.
Eddie
Really?
Morgan
That was like a new one. He also did, like, a bunch of other ones, so it was just like, like, is this really happening? This is crazy.
Eddie
And what did you contribute?
Morgan
I was the host, so I.
Eddie
But you didn't sing anything?
Morgan
Oh, God, no. Eddie. And my really horrible jokes. Those were the two things that I contributed to.
Eddie
How many people were there?
Morgan
Oh, gosh, I don't know. But it looked full, like the. We were in this really cool theater called the Fox Theater in Hutchinson. And it looked from what I could see.
Eddie
How far is Hutchinson from Wichita?
Morgan
Like 40 minutes.
Eddie
Okay.
Morgan
Not bad. The family came, everybody came out.
Eddie
That's fun.
Morgan
Yeah. So it was a good time back in Wichita, but you would have loved it.
Eddie
Oh, I bet that's your thing. I love Nicole and Rodney. Like, I don't know Rodney as well as Nicole. What's crazy about Nicole is when I lived in Austin before we moved to Nashville, one of my co workers at the news station was like, hey, I know a songwriter out there. Like, you should hit her up, like, whenever you go up there. She's from my hometown, Sterling, Kansas. Wow. And I'm like, okay, cool. I'll never hit her up a songwriter. There are millions of songwriters. Little did I know that her friend was Nicole Galleon. And of course, I've known Nicole just from being in the industry. She's amazing. Her kids ended up going to school with my kids. And then I see Rodney around and I feel like I had to kind of just like, Rodney, I'm sorry. I know everyone except you in your family. So I finally met Rodney, I don't know, like, a couple of years ago. Yeah, they're just great people. I love them.
Morgan
They so are. So did you ever tell Nicole that you knew one of them?
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
Back in the day.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Made that connection, 100%. That's so funny because, like, their hometown's so small that of course, like, everyone knows everyone there. That's so. It was. It was just. It was just crazy because, like, I really thought that when she said, meet my songwriter friend, I was like, okay. Like, you're like, everyone's a songwriter. Like, I don't. How am I going to meet this person? But no, it was a real songwriter. Nicholas. Nicole's one of the best.
Morgan
That's so funny. Isn't it crazy how Nashville just. That's just Nashville.
Eddie
It is Nashville.
Morgan
Such a Nashville, literally. So. And that was cool. It was just a cool also connection, like the Kansas thing, and felt really cool to be connected back to home.
Eddie
Oh, I remember too, when you were like, you wanted to meet Nicole because you're like, Kansas people. We gotta stay together. Like, I wanna meet Nicole. And then you finally met her backstage when we were doing a show with her.
Morgan
Yep. And you know what's funny is, like, so fast forward, like, full circle. I believe I also talked about this on the show. She helped. So my sister's been obsessed with Nicole for, gosh, long before, like, I ever knew really who Nicole was.
Eddie
In a good way.
Morgan
Yeah, like, she just loved her. Like, she. Because Nicole's so aesthetic on Instagram. She has, like, cool posts and she's.
Eddie
Oh, all her pictures are stylistically, like, yes, awesome.
Morgan
And like, she's a. Not just like a great songwriter, she's a great writer. Like, she has just really a good way with words. So my sister loved just following along and when she found out she was from Kansas, the whole connection. And so she loved her. Like, that's like her favorite artist, if you will. That would be her favorite. And so she freaked out when she realized, like, Nicole and I had become friends. She's like, you just have her number. What? This was like, my artist that I liked. And I'm like, I'm sorry. This is cool for you. Right? And it ended up Nicole helped my now sister's husband, my brother in law, propose to my sister at backstage when Nicole opened for Walker Hayes, which was her first time playing, like, interest bank arena in Wichita.
Eddie
No way. That's awesome.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
So see, and that probably would have never happened. It wasn't for you.
Morgan
Yeah. It was like, I was like, nicole, any chance. I know this is wild, but, like, it was funny. They just thought they were going back to say hi to Nicole because Taylor just loves to meet her. And Taylor's not my sister. Nothing about her is like a fangirl, but she loves. She just loves who Nicole is as a person. That's kind of how my sister is. And so she saw her and she's like, so focused on the fact that she's meeting Nicole and she turns around and, like, my brother in law was literally on his knees. She's like, what is happening?
Eddie
Get up. What are you doing? You're embarrassing yourself.
Morgan
Yeah. So it was cool. It was a cool full circle moment. Lots of Nicole stories.
Eddie
Yeah. That's awesome.
Morgan
Yeah. So there's that. That was my life. No broken arms, though.
Eddie
No broken arms. Pretty chill.
Morgan
No broken body parts, period.
Eddie
Yes. And that's the goal in life.
Morgan
Well, we didn't know that was the goal until this past weekend. We didn't need to know that that was a goal.
Eddie
When you get older, the goal is don't break anything.
Morgan
I know. Okay, I have some random topics that we're gonna go into, so take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Eddie
Hey, y'all, this is Reed from the God's country podcast. We had the one and only Bobby Bones in the studio this week, and we cover everything from his upbringing to his outdoor experiences with a stepdad, Arkansas Keith. To the state of country music. We may even end the episode with a little jam session led by Bobby himself. Y'all be sure and listen to this episode of God's country with Bobby bones on the iHeartRadio app. App, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Don't go shopping at Target with khaki pants and a red shirt on. Don't go shopping at Target with khaki pants and a red polo shirt on.
Morgan
Switch up song an old lady came up to me.
Eddie
She said, how much for this cream of Wheat Welcome.
Morgan
My name is Paola Pedrosa, a medium.
Eddie
And the host of the Ghost Therapy.
Morgan
Podcast, where it's not just about connecting with deceased loved ones. It's about learning through them and their new perspective. Join me on the Ghost Therapy podcast. Whoa.
Eddie
My lights in my living room just flickered.
Morgan
I'm a little nervous. I'm excited. I'm excited nervous. You know, I'm a very spiritual person, so I'm like, I'm ready and open. That was amazing. I feel so grateful right now. I got to speak to my great grandmother, Abuela, and she gave me a lot of really good advice that I'm gonna have to really think about.
Eddie
Wow. Okay. That's crazy.
Morgan
Yes, that is accurate. Listen to the Ghost Therapy podcast as part of the My Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What if you ask two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Mini Questions. Over the years, we have had some incredible guests. People like Courteney Cox, star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, egot winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the UK Tony Blair. And now Mini Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person story with new lessons, new memories, new and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to Mini questions on the iHeartRadio.
Eddie
App, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morgan
Seven questions. Limitless answers.
Eddie
Good people. What's up? It's Questo Questlove and Team supreme. And I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical lover. We enjoy speaking to the people who were the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers. But we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes and paved the way for those that followed. You know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one on one conversations like I'm J P Hill chatting up with hitmaker Sam Holland, Sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe. And I've had pleasures in doing one on one Conversations with Willow Sonata, Maitreya, Kathleen Hanna and the rza. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back and you check those episodes out. Alright? Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.
Morgan
On the show this week. You know how we talked about apples being on the counter versus in the fridge?
Eddie
The debate.
Morgan
Okay, so I'm gonna add to this a little bit potatoes. Where do you put those?
Eddie
They're also outside. Okay, so outside of the refrigerator?
Morgan
Yeah. On the counter?
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
In the pantry. Well, I had always put them in the refrigerator. Don't ask me why. I think I always felt things if they were produce needed to go in the fridge because I thought they'd expire on some level.
Eddie
I think the rule that you automatically think, people just automatically think, which is probably true. I don't know. But anything you put in the refrigerator is gonna last longer.
Morgan
That true?
Eddie
Period.
Morgan
Well, and it's like, this is healthy. I look at like a vegetable or fruit, I'm like, that's healthy. That doesn't belong in the pantry. That's kind of my, like, my brain's way of seeing it. Okay, well, I learned that if you put potatoes in the fridge, they turn to sugar starches.
Eddie
Wow.
Morgan
So potatoes are carbs and they're good for you, but you put them in cold, they turn to sugar. They're no longer healthy for you.
Eddie
No way. So I wonder if that's why they say like sweet potatoes. You like sweet potatoes?
Morgan
I love sweet potatoes.
Eddie
Sweet potato fries. They say before you fry them, soak them in cold water for, I don't know, an hour. Oh, and I wonder if it's because they wanted to convert into like a sugary starch vegetable to have more of.
Morgan
Like this, like sugar crystallization versus wow.
Eddie
But I don't know, you can't go wrong with sweet potatoes. For me, like, that's just the best thing in the whole wide world.
Morgan
Sweet potatoes are so good and they're so filling. That's what I love them. It's like, you can have half of one. I'm like, okay, I'm stuffed, I'm good. If you give me sweet potato fries, I can never eat the whole thing.
Eddie
They're so good though.
Morgan
They are. And you can make them savory or you can make them sweet. Yeah, they're very versatile. Yes, that's the word I was like, versatile. They're a versatile vegetable.
Eddie
They really are. They really are.
Morgan
They're a vegetable.
Eddie
It's one of the best. It's a vegetable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Potato, sweet potato. Vegetables.
Morgan
I might need to brush up on fruits and veggies for easy trivia.
Eddie
No, but here's the rule, though. Like, if it has a seed, it's a fruit.
Morgan
I know, but, like, that. I can't process that quick enough for, like, easy trivia. You know what I mean?
Eddie
Sure you can.
Morgan
I can go down the whole list of fruits. Cucumber, fruit.
Eddie
Got it.
Morgan
The seed.
Eddie
Got seeds. Good. Tomatoes.
Morgan
Those also have seeds.
Eddie
That's good.
Morgan
Carrot doesn't. It's a veggie.
Eddie
You got it.
Morgan
Okay.
Eddie
Like, that's. That Is that simple. Why did the crazy ones. A pumpkin, though?
Morgan
Those have seeds, but it's a veggie.
Eddie
No, it's. It's a fruit.
Morgan
It's a fruit.
Eddie
But it's like, you forget, like, pumpkin seeds.
Morgan
Like, that's true, but have you. Have you never made pumpkin seeds in the oven?
Eddie
Love it.
Morgan
Oh, I was like, you've never had those?
Eddie
I fry them.
Morgan
Those are probably really good.
Eddie
Yeah. Fry them on a skillet. So good. I don't know. My kids never, like, want to do that anymore because it was such a tradition at the beginning. Like, you know, like, all right, we're carve the pumpkins first. Get all the seeds out. I'll cook them while you guys carve. And then no one ate them. And so I'm like, man, I won't want seeds anymore.
Morgan
I do feel like you grow out of it at some point, because I don't do it anymore, but I do very Remember you remember doing it? Yeah.
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
Pumpkin seeds were so yummy. I might need to do that.
Eddie
Would you eat the whole seed, or would you kind of try to open the seed?
Morgan
I think I'd eat the whole thing because you make it, like, super crunchy. Yeah, I love a crunchy seed.
Eddie
And then you're, like, kind of get stuck in your throat a little bit. You're like, I'm gonna get that out of there.
Morgan
It just, like, stays in there forever.
Eddie
Maybe 10. Maybe 10 seeds are enough.
Morgan
No, that's a good one. Okay. Not a seed. But isn't there, like, a twist on that? Like, avocado is a fruit because it technically has a seed, but nobody really believes that because it's not a full. It's not a normal seed.
Eddie
No, still a fruit.
Morgan
That's what the Internet says.
Eddie
The Internet's crazy.
Morgan
Anyways, I have learned that most produce does not belong in the fridge.
Eddie
That's good. I mean, you Would think that, like you want anything to just last put in the fridge.
Morgan
No. Like tomatoes I used to always put in the fridge.
Eddie
Oh, we put those in the fridge.
Morgan
Yeah, but they don't.
Eddie
Does that turn into sugar too?
Morgan
I don't think those turn into sugar, but I do think they last longer if they're out.
Eddie
What's crazy though are bananas. Like, if you have bananas that are like, they look like they're getting ready to rot a little bit and you put them in the fridge, they will turn completely brown. But then when you peel it, they're. They look like they're brand new.
Morgan
That can't be good.
Eddie
I don't know what it is, but there's something about it where, like it looks like it's dead. It looks like they're just. You throw it away, but as soon as you peel it, it looks so it's perfect.
Morgan
That cannot. There, there has to be something in bananas that, that is not good.
Eddie
I mean, I'm not a scientist. Maybe there's. There's nothing good about it, but to me it looks perfect.
Morgan
Yeah, but you know, it's funny too, like, even working in the restaurant industry, everything we did was always in like the big refrigerator, the freezer fridge, it was never out.
Eddie
Do you guys ever like lock each other in there?
Morgan
I go in there and scream sometimes though.
Eddie
Why? Oh, oh, to get away or mean.
Morgan
Or, you know, you have a moment.
Eddie
Is that tough service industry, like just people being mean to you?
Morgan
Yeah, not as much. Like, especially not then now. I bet it's pretty rough. Oh, Eddie's hurting.
Eddie
I just know I just had one of those jerks.
Morgan
When you tried to move.
Eddie
I try to just get comfortable.
Morgan
Your face just looked so sad.
Eddie
It just jerks. It's so weird. It's like your whole arm just tightens up and then the elbow just starts hurting.
Morgan
I feel so bad for you. It's okay, it's fine. But yes, there were moments and also like, you're just close, like tight knit with so many people and so many different personalities that you're like, okay, I need a moment. I'd catch my manager in there all the time. I'd be like, what are you doing? He's like, I. I need five minutes.
Eddie
He's going to the freezer.
Morgan
Okay, have fun.
Eddie
Do you guys ever run into each other? Like when? Cause I went to Olive Garden, I think the other day for one of my kids birthdays and we sat right by the kitchen door.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
And every time they come out, they're.
Morgan
Like, corner, corner, I think more people are saying that now because of, like, the bear and. Yes, chef.
Eddie
Yeah, chef. Corner, behind you.
Morgan
And also, I do think there's some better buffalo wild wings. We never said corner. We would try. We just yell something. We'd be like, yo, like, I'm coming out.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Or something. There was never, like, a word, and we were never trained to. To say that.
Eddie
But I feel like if you didn't say corner, like, it can easily be a collision.
Morgan
Oh, I had multiple collisions. I dropped a lot of things.
Eddie
Really?
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Do you get in trouble for that?
Morgan
It's not a good thing, especially if it's a really big tray.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
But, like, also, it's also on the other people to see you and, like, be aware. But you move so fast, especially in an environment like buffalo wild wings. Like, you're. You're turning tables quickly when people aren't watching games. When they're watching games, they're there for four hours. You're chilling.
Eddie
Run me through this. So you dropped the whole platter of, like, five plates?
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
What? You have to go back to the kitchen. First off, they. They clean it up, right?
Morgan
Like, well, I start cleaning it up. Yeah. And then that's when the manager jumps in, and he's like, okay, go remake the ticket. Because you have to tell the kitchen quickly because it takes time.
Eddie
So then you go tell the kitchen, and then they're like, morgan, thankfully, at least buffalo.
Morgan
Like, you're just spinning wings.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
Nothing crazy. Yeah. Like, they have wings ready.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
But other places, I don't feel like that's as easy to do.
Eddie
No. Like, especially, like, a nice restaurant where they have to really make the sides and the entrees and. Yeah, I bet the cooks are just like, kill this girl.
Morgan
Yeah. They love me, though. I was always charming, and I worked expo before I was a server, so, like, I got to know them really well. Where I just delivered food, I'd stay in the expo window. The expo is, like, where the food gets put on the, like, heating, and you take it and you take it to the table.
Eddie
Oh. Oh, my gosh. That explains so much. That explains so much. When, like, somebody who's not our server.
Morgan
Delivers the food, they're probably an expo.
Eddie
But how did you know where everyone. Everyone's food goes?
Morgan
Every table has a number, so when they put it into the table.
Eddie
Nah, not the. Not the table. The person.
Morgan
Oh. Most of the time, I'm just shouting it out and, like, giving wings.
Eddie
Okay.
Morgan
Sometimes people will put it in order. So you knew if it went Around a certain way, then you can kind of figure that out quickly. But most of the time you're just like, I have this many here. Hand it.
Eddie
That is amazing. I just learned about an expo today because I've always wondered, like, who's this dude? Or did the server be like, hey, I need help. Like, I'm busy, so will you go take that food out?
Morgan
No. Especially at a place like. And I don't now if they've gotten rid of expos, but, like, it would go. So I started as a host, and then I went takeout, and then I did expo and then I became a server, and then I was about to become the bartender when I left for college. So I had.
Eddie
You never bartended?
Morgan
No.
Eddie
You probably didn't want to do that.
Morgan
I did.
Eddie
No, you didn't.
Morgan
Yes, I did.
Eddie
No, you didn't.
Morgan
I wanted to learn to make drinks and be there. Like, splashing drinks.
Eddie
No, I get that part. But dealing with drunk customers has to be so hard.
Morgan
Yeah, but also fun. I almost bartended in college too. I was like, oh, yeah, I could totally do that. But then I had to learn a lot of drinks. And I was like, nevermind. I don't have that energy anymore.
Eddie
See, as a guy, though. Morgan, let me explain something. There's something stupid that goes through a guy's head that thinks the bartender wants you.
Morgan
You don't think women also feel that way when they see a hot bartender?
Eddie
Yes, but. But there's no way that a hot bartender thinks that the customer's hot. You're too busy. You're like, just what do you want? Like, like what? You want two beers? Fine, thank you. Like, they don't want to hit. They don't want to talk to you. And the person that's ordering the drink, they're just there to have fun. So they think like, oh, dude, that bartender's so hot. She's totally into me. Watch this. And it's a game to you. And you're, like, trying to hit on them, and they're literally like, what do you want to drink?
Morgan
This is inside a dude's mind. I've never thought, like, in this direction.
Eddie
And like, I don't know, 20 years ago.
Morgan
I love how you make good tips, good money.
Eddie
Oh, I get that too. Like, oh, they start flirting back and you get good tips.
Morgan
Eddie, I had a. Even as a server, I cannot imagine as a bartender, as a server, one. I made so much money flirting. You should be.
Eddie
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Morgan
Eddie. I was just me. You know, me, like I'm super friendly. I'm. I'm having fun.
Eddie
Yeah. But like, would you sit with them?
Morgan
And like, no, not unless I knew if they started to come in regular because we. You had a lot of regulars at Buffalo because of the wing nights, like bone in boneless nights. You'd have. You'd start to see some of the same people. So once. And they start requesting your section and I'd be like, okay, yeah, I'll start to. It would get that way, but never on the first time. That'd be weird. But I had. I'm sure it's still somewhere at my parents house, but I had a gallon baggie full of napkins, receipts of all the phone numbers I had ever gotten.
Eddie
Oh my goodness.
Morgan
That people would leave on them.
Eddie
Is it still at home? Like, you have to find that. You have to find that and post that.
Morgan
It was a whole baggie of them.
Eddie
Do you understand what I'm saying? You're literally just trying to make a living. You're just making. Working, you're at work. But to every other dude in there, they're like, this chick totally digs me, you know?
Morgan
But there was two guys that I went out on a few dates with.
Eddie
So how did that happen? Was that like, hey, call me when you're off, or here's my number?
Morgan
Well, they became regulars and like. And I don't know.
Eddie
You think it was the wings? I don't think so.
Morgan
No, they were, they were playing the long game and they're like, you should. We should go out to dinner. Like, I'd love to take you to dinner. I was like, okay, what do I have to lose here? Like, this is how you meet people.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
And so I went out on a few days. Obviously none of them turned into anything, but I went on a couple days. Like, one of them I dated for a couple months.
Eddie
Couple months?
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Dang.
Morgan
Yeah. So it wasn't like unusual. There is a chance that it happens.
Eddie
So you're saying.
Morgan
But you gotta play the long game.
Eddie
You're saying there's a chance that the hot bartender may be into you.
Morgan
Yeah, but again, long game, not short game. And you have to go when they're not busy, and when they're busy, you gotta do both.
Eddie
It's the long game, obviously. I don't give a crap. So if there are any dudes listening, like, take notes, it's pretty good.
Morgan
I'm helping you guys out. This is how you do it. This is how you score the hot bartender server.
Eddie
I remember when I was 20 years old. Like, my brother. My brother, he was six years older than me. So if he was old enough to drink, like, you go to a bar, I'd sit with him. They would never card us. I was always good. As long as I'm with him. They're just like, oh, cool. They're like the same age, and it's fine.
Morgan
Oh, God, I could never.
Eddie
And so, like, at 7, at 18, 19. Like, yeah, let's go, dude. What are you going to do? You want to go to bar? Let's go. And I remember we were like one of those roadhouses, like Logan's or. I don't know, one of those. And there was a girl, and she was totally into me. Like, I can totally tell she was into me. I swear she was into me. And I said, hey, what are you doing? It was like Saturday night. Like, what are you doing after? After you're. You're done here? Like, nothing. Like, do you want to go out? Like, do you want to go with us? We're probably gonna go do something. And she's like, okay, like, why don't you come, like, after we close? I'm like, what time do you close? So, like, 11. You got it. So I told my brother, like, let's go back. We gotta go get her. And we go back. And like, there were no cars in the parking lot, Eddie. I'll never, ever forget it. And it was one of those things, like, one of those things in your mind where you're just like, that sucks.
Morgan
Okay. But also kind of rude to her because.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
You think there's a way to get out of that? There's a way to be like, no.
Eddie
But that's when I started thinking, like, oh, maybe like, you know, there's a family emergency. Cause I didn't leave her my number. Or did I? I don't remember. This was probably before cell phones. Honestly, I was 19 years old right before.
Morgan
That's funny. Not funny. She should have just let you down.
Eddie
Wasn't funny.
Morgan
Not in that moment. Now you can look back and be like, that's funny.
Eddie
Dang, that one hurt.
Morgan
Okay. There is a chance, but not as many chances maybe as we think. There's that. Okay. Oh, I want to share something with you that in case it never makes it.
Eddie
That's funny because it may not.
Morgan
It may not. It may. But also, you know, pretend you never heard this if it does.
Eddie
Okay.
Morgan
Lunchbox made a rookie mistake. You wanna know what happened?
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
He had his little sore losers convention, and this dude butt dials me, right? And I Pick up the phone. I'm like, lunchbox, what's up? Hello. Hello? And all I hear is like, laughter. And then somebody go, you just butt dialed her. They were talking about me and he butt dialed me.
Eddie
When they were talking about me, what were they saying? Could you pick up anything?
Morgan
No. But there was laughter.
Eddie
She's so stupid.
Morgan
Which means there was some comment said about me on some level. Enough for somebody not even just be like, hey, you butt dialed Morgan. Or like, it was, you just butt dialed her. Like I was in the conversation.
Eddie
I mean, I will say that, like, when I used to do the convention, there was a lot of, like, FaceTime, Bobby. Yeah, FaceTime, Amy. You know, and see if they pick up. Call Morgan. Like, there was a lot of that. So I wonder if that's kind of what it was. And he was like, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it.
Morgan
Okay, but it's lunchbox.
Eddie
Oh, he was totally talking crap about you. 100%.
Morgan
There's. There's no way, Like, I would like to say yes, that could be it. In some scenarios, I don't feel like it was this. In that one, there was too much laughter for that.
Eddie
That is a rookie mistake. What an idiot he is for that.
Morgan
I'm like, really? And, like, I sat there all weekend and I even texted him. I literally said, rookie mistake. I just heard you talking about me and you bumped on me.
Eddie
Talking crap about me.
Morgan
Dude, didn't even see the text message.
Eddie
You have to do a whole, like, I know exactly what you said. Like, I heard it all. And then don't tell him what you heard, you know? And he'd be like, what'd you hear? Like, I'm not telling you, you know, exactly what you said.
Morgan
Let's see if I can get him to tell me. But you know the worst part, though, is he was also probably drunk. He doesn't even probably remember. Oh, for sure would be my guess.
Eddie
For sure.
Morgan
He didn't even respond to that text message until we were back at work, dude. And he was like, sending me a bonehead. And I was like, dude, that was literally three days ago.
Eddie
Oh, speaking of, I need to send you a fun fact, I think, Right?
Morgan
Speaking of, we're a little late, Eddie.
Eddie
It's Saturday, you know, I gotta do that for you.
Morgan
Oh, all right. Well, we are gonna get out of here. I had other random topics, but, you know, did we run out of time? Well, intro Eddie and I, fashion. We. We went on different always. It was more fun.
Eddie
Anyway, they're like, topic is this. Let's talk about all these other things, and then maybe we get around to it. We'll talk about the topic.
Morgan
I'll. We'll leave on this one. What food is so underrated that you wish more people either liked or talked about?
Eddie
Oh, underrated food.
Morgan
I can give you a second to think. Mine. Mine is breakfast burritos. I feel like nobody.
Eddie
I don't like them. Oh, don't like them?
Morgan
Why?
Eddie
Like a breakfast taco?
Morgan
Same. Same concept, but breakfast. I mean, man, you do a breakfast burrito, right?
Eddie
What do you want in it? Like, you don't do meat, eggs, potatoes. Okay. You do eggs.
Morgan
Avocado. I love. I love an egg. I have to be in the mood for it, though. It's kind of a texture thing.
Eddie

Eddie
Crema.

Eddie
Yeah. Did you? Is it. Do they. And they don't have breakfast burritos over there.
Morgan
No, but you know what they do have is patatas bravas, which are my favorite thing ever.
