Lunchbox
We'Ve all experienced being put on hold. The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection, waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs, and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists, as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger in isolation. Answer the call and help end the wait by donating@mealsonwheelsamerica.org donate I think everything.

Check out part one and part three of Best Bits this weekend. Eddie joins me. We talk all about kids and names and life updates in part one and then part three, we answer listener questions like if you had to describe your voice as a flavor, what would it be? And what our top five rock songs, top five 2000s pop songs are for Eddie and myself. So fun stuff over in both of those. But let's get caught up on the show before you dive into all that.
T.S. Madison
Woohoo.
Bobby Bones
Kane Brown stopped by the show. He was talking about his new song that came out as well as his song backseat Driver that's been climbing up the country charts and he bought a Lambo and he's also been doing some crazy hell stuff. So we got all the life updates and things that are happening in Kane's life in studio right now.
T.S. Madison
Number seven on the Bobby Bones show now, Kane Brown.
Morgan
Four things I want to talk to you about specifically.
Eddie
Alrighty.
Morgan
So let's start. I get asked about your name first and this just came up a second ago. You're the only Kane I know.
Eddie
It's funny. There was one kid on my baseball team in the Little League. I was Kane Brown and I'm mixed. And he was Kane White. And he's White.
Bobby Bones
That's funny.
Eddie
That's perfect. But then I was, I went and it was. That's what I thought about.
T.S. Madison
Okay.
Eddie
But then I went in to order teriyaki the other day because we're in Florida and walked in and the guy's name, he was, his name was Kane, which is weird.
Morgan
Do you know why you were named Kane?
Eddie
So my mom was a huge wrestler. She said I was named after Big Red Machine.
Morgan
But he's also from where? Near where you're from.
Eddie
I have no idea about that.
Morgan
He's like the mayor in East Tennessee.
Eddie
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, he is the mayor. But I think I looked it up and I was born already before he came.
Morgan
Yeah, I think maybe she got you.
T.S. Madison
On that one too.
Eddie
But I do know that I was gonna be name Skyler if I was a girl.
Morgan
So I think Skyler works as a dude too. I like the name Kane. I was just saying to them, I don't know any other canes except when I get chicken sometimes if we're touring and not even here, but like, well.
Eddie
Now they have a cane's footwear.
Morgan
K or C?
Eddie
K, A, N, E. Yeah.
Morgan
Are you in that lawsuit? Is that you? Oh, no. Okay, four things I want to go first. One of our show members, Abby, did the 60 hour fast that you did.
Eddie
She just told me.
Morgan
Yeah. So why did you do it? What did it do to you?
Eddie
So it basically kick started me on wanting to be healthy. So, you know, my wife's already a health nut and then me, dude, like on being on the road eating after show food, I was. I was getting two cheeseburgers from five guys and eating them at 2am and then going to sleep. And I didn't realize how big I was getting, like, because my main goal was to get massive, just as big as I could. And I ended up getting a 205 and. But that fast made me not want to put anything like no sugar, nothing bad in my body. So now I'm technically bodybuilding. It's made me go from losing weight to now I want to be a bodybuilder.
Morgan
So how hard was it and what were the stages of this is okay. Oh, this sucks. Oh, I feel great now.
Eddie
So it wasn't that bad because we had seven other people doing it with us and it was our three days off in Quebec City. It was like six feet of snow. There wasn't crap to do. I think that was the hardest part.
T.S. Madison
And.
Eddie
And then of course we have our riders, so they have Doritos and everything sitting in front of you. But we had each other pushing each other. And I think the hardest part was being hungry. Especially as much as I would eat because I would just eat, eat, eat. Like it's just a privilege to us instead of a necessity. So I think that was the hardest part of just realizing, like, because I was so bored, I just wanted to eat.
Morgan
I find myself bored and so I'll just go open the fridge. Yeah, like, that's one of the things I do when I'M bored. Well, I got nothing to do. Let me just see what there is to eat. Yeah, it's weird to say that. When did it feel pretty good in that 60 hours, because was there a. I feel miserable because I'm so hungry, too. Wow. I kind of have this odd, like. Compared to, like a runner's high.
Eddie
Yeah. I think the first 24 hours, because we were about to hop on a plane, and the thing that I put in my body was, hey, I like the Krex stroke. Just saw that.
Morgan
That'll be one of the things we get to. Yeah.
Eddie
But the Alex, my videographer or video director, I don't even know what is.
Morgan
Creative is what I. Yeah, that's what I call him.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. So he. He was like, let's drink black coffee. There's no calories. He knows all about that. So that kind of gave me this other energy. So then he got me into running, which I found out running also gives you a different energy. And so then you're my body. I just felt my body eating the fat while I wasn't eating and running. It just made me so determined. So then I just kept waking up. I would try to sleep as much as possible just to make sure the hours were going.
Morgan
When you start eating food again, do you have to. Because it's been 60 hours, so you're looking at, you know, almost three days.
Eddie
Yeah. And that's what people need to understand, too. They hear 60 hours and they think it's two weeks. It's. It's two and a half days.
Morgan
Like, 72 hours is.
Eddie
And I'm just going. You're just going for two days till noon. Then you have a just.
Morgan
That's not a just. That's hard.
Eddie
No, it's.
T.S. Madison
It is hard.
Eddie
Especially. And this is something, too, when you're working a regular 9 to 5 job and you like, just the energy. Like, you need energy. Like I said, I did it on my three days off when I was stuck in a hotel, so. But yes. Going back to the food thing. Yeah. Now I'm just strictly on meat and vegetables.
Morgan
But what do you do when you have to get back in after 72 hours? Do you have to, like, slowly wade back in?
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I saw. I think I posted a video. I ate chicken and rice, which was my first meal, which is all meat now, basically. And put pepper on it. It felt like my throat was closing up.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
Eddie
Which was really odd for me. And it did that for the last. For the next three times that I ate.
Morgan
Permission to Be a little awkward.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
Your back look awesome. I was looking at a video of you showing your back.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
A plus. Your back looks great.
Eddie
Thank you.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Eddie
And I. I've also noticed because a lot of my workouts, if you don't do. If you don't work out right, like, if you don't see progress, you're doing the workout wrong. It's like my back and my shoulders take over, like when I'm doing chest. And so. And then I was talking to another guy that works out, and he's like, people with big shoulders, they look like they got a smaller chest because their shoulders take over. I've been doing all kinds of science if y' all haven't figured out, but so he made me realize, too, that just the bigger shoulders you get, the smaller chest you're gonna have, which made me feel better about my physique.
Morgan
You look good. If you feel good, that's even better.
Eddie
I feel great. I feel 10 years younger. Honestly, I was getting to feel 12. I didn't do the math.
Morgan
Okay.
Eddie
You know, maybe, like. Maybe five years.
T.S. Madison
Okay. All right.
Morgan
I have a truck on my desk. It's your monster truck. What is. What is it?
Eddie
So it's called T. Rex. So Rex was the. It was a Denali gmc. You could look it up on Google if you found a picture for it. On this. I don't know how you. How it works. I was.
Morgan
We got lots of screens. We can do a lot of things.
Eddie
Fancy. I'm so excited for you guys, man. Y' all know. Y' all realize I gotta tell that. I gotta tell everybody. So I walked up here, and I saw all the rooms that weren't being used, and it's just glass. I was like, y' all don't use these rooms? He said, no, we don't. He said, you can come up here and shoot guns. Nobody know you're here. I said, this is the only room y' all use, right? And he said, yep. I say, y' all can't have money, man.
Morgan
Okay.
Eddie
Anyway, Rex was the first truck that I bought whenever I got my record deal. It was a guy in high school that had. His name's Austin Master Shout Out Austin. I told him, I said, whenever I get my first number one, which I didn't have a record deal yet, so whenever I get my first number one, I'm gonna come back and buy this truck. And ended up buying the truck after. What ifs and how much? 40,000. But it's a big. I mean, it should have been Worth more. He could have sold it, especially today. Could have sold it for a lot more. But this is in memory of. Of my Denali.
Morgan
Rest in peace.
Eddie
Yeah. Rest in peace.
Bobby Bones
Oh, there it is. Yeah.
Morgan
Can't hide money.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. That's actually a monster truck. So this is. Yeah. So I got to drive it. It was sick.
Morgan
You did?
Eddie
Yeah. It's so loud.
Amy
You get to go over cars and everything.
Eddie
No, they had me driving a circle, and they could tell I was getting more and more comfortable, so they pulled them out. They kept shutting it off on me every time I get a little bit faster.
Morgan
Speaking of can't hide money, can I. Can I say. Can I mention the text I sent you recently about coming over to your house and driving your thing? Oh, yeah. Can I mention what it was? Can I mention all that?
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Okay. I. Kane was driving a Lamborghini at his house.
T.S. Madison
What?
Morgan
And I was like, hey, I want. I want to come over and drive that. And he was like, dude, have at it. Come over. Does it scrape?
Eddie
Does it scrape? Yeah. Yes and no. I feel like they need to. They need to figure out the timing just to raise it, because it takes three business days for it to raise up and get back down. And the potholes and potholes in Nashville are kind of bad. They're terrible. But so far, so good.
Bobby Bones
Sorry.
Morgan
No, he's kidding. He's kidding. About three business days.
T.S. Madison
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Morgan
It's a hyperbole.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
It just takes a lot.
Eddie
It takes a little while to rise. I would say this.
Bobby Bones
Literal.
Eddie
I would say this. And I. I am a, like, American muscle kind of guy. And then I was like, I'll never buy a Lambo. I'll never spend that type of money. So I started my own, like, small investment for myself just to learn how investments work. And then I turned my investment into a Lambo, and that's why I bought the Lambo. But if I was just to go spend my money on this car, I'm just gonna let you know, don't do.
Morgan
It, because it's just.
Eddie
Well, if you're. If you're over 6 foot 2, don't do it. But there's no room. My boy Bama got in the car, and I couldn't even take him downtown.
Morgan
Because as a passenger, yeah, his.
Eddie
Like, his head was out. And then it's just not very comfortable. Like, because for me, I drive. It's a convertible. It's a spider. And the. The windshield is right at my eye contact, so I have to, like, slide down in my seat and, like, look cool, you know, just so I can see the red light.
Morgan
Will you keep it?
Eddie
Well, so that's another thing. I sent it in for an oil change and now I'm getting it souped up even more.
Morgan
So that's not how that's supposed to work. They bring out the dirty oil filter and Kane's like, yes, I'll take three more engines on it.
Eddie
Yeah, well, I took it all my friends. I have, like, a car, a car scene that drive, you know, they all drive, and it's called Exotic Motorsports. And I took it in for oil change and they're like, when are you throwing twin turbos on this?
Morgan
And I was like, I guess now. Can you drive it every day, though? Could you drive it every day or is it a risk to always hit a rock or a pothole?
Eddie
No, I would say I just wouldn't drive it every day for the comfortability. I just. Yeah, I drive.
Morgan
You. You love a Lamborghini.
Lunchbox
What do you think I need to know? I need to know the investments he made and.
Morgan
No, just about the car.
Lunchbox
How cool. I mean, do people just look at you like, dang, that dude's got a lamb.
Eddie
That's the only thing I will say driving a Lambo in Tennessee, people, It's a unicorn. Yeah, but if you took my car to la, people like, ah, yeah, but.
Lunchbox
How cool is it to just have everybody stare when you drive like that? That feels good, doesn't it?
Morgan
Have you seen his other cars, though?
Lunchbox
No, no, but I'm just saying, a Lambo, like, it gets special attention.
Eddie
Yeah, it's one of those things of, as a kid, you just, you know, you grow up and do it and then once you get it, it's it. I've. I had it for four months and I got bored and I told you, I just. I just put more money into it.
Lunchbox
You got bored? I mean, whenever you get bored, drop it off, man. Just drop it off right here. And I will drive it for four months. I'll let you know if I get bored.
Morgan
Next up, and my list of things. Number three, the acting. Because I did see you were you were doing a movie. Are you done with the movie or are you gonna do the movie?
Eddie
Hadn't even started the movie. The script is hilarious.
Morgan
Okay, so it's something you've agreed to do, but you haven't done it yet.
Eddie
Yes. And we've been talking about it and they actually, this is the first time it's been in the real world, so.
Morgan
Taylor Lautner is the main character or Are you the main character?
Eddie
And he's like, no, I'm kind of that guy that just like, pops his head in every once in a while. I'm his best friend in the. In the movie and in real life, if you didn't know. And I'm joking.
Morgan
I looked at him sideways, like, really best friends. Okay, go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Three business days.
Morgan
Amy's still hanging on to three business days. Yeah, go ahead.
Eddie
But, yeah, this is the closest it's been to the real world. He's. He's the main character. He gets invited to this wedding from this billionaire that he forgets who this billionaire is, and I'm his friend saying, like, just joking with him on. On a couple phone calls. If you don't go, I'll go. You got to go to this wedding. Just trying to convince him to go. And I think he's trying to sell a game or something. He's like a gamer, and he's trying to sell it to this big tech company. And this billionaire, I think is going to be the one to help.
Morgan
It's called the token groomsman. Any idea when you shoot. Any idea when it is scheduled to come out? Not yet. Do you know where you go to shoot it?
Eddie
Italy.
Morgan
You ever been to Italy?
Eddie
Never.
Morgan
Where's the coolest place you've ever been? And I say coolest as in you looked around and you were like, wow. Like, I grew up in a small town in Tennessee. This is nothing like that.
Eddie
Guilford, New Hampshire.
Morgan
Okay. Of all the places we could have gone in the world, we went to Guilford. I'd love to hear why. Yeah, go ahead.
Eddie
I want to hear more so bad. I haven't been to Dubai.
Morgan
I want to hear more about Guilford.
Eddie
Yeah, hey, Guilford. I was just kidding. But Guilford, the venue is nice. We just left from there. That's why I was. Coolest place for me.
Morgan
I went to Japan and looked around. I was like, this is nothing. Like, I grew up, and this is amazing. It looks like a movie.
Eddie
I want to go there so bad. Tokyo.
Morgan
Tokyo. I felt like I was an NBA player. And it was awesome. It was great because I'm over six foot now, but I'm. This is above average there. It's like Penny Hardaway walking down. It's like, yeah, it was awesome. There's no litter.
Bobby Bones
They're clean.
Eddie
I heard that somewhere it might be Australia, but you can't. Like, if you spit or gum on the sidewalk, you get arrested or something like that.
Morgan
Sounds more like dub.
Eddie
I don't know. I'm kind of nervous to go those places because I don't want to be locked up.
Morgan
But do you have to audition for that movie?
Eddie
No. It was Taylor luckily just said you're the guy. Yeah. But I think they. We've, you know, we've zoomed and all that. And then met in person. So they saw our charisma together.
Morgan
Thing number four, backseat driver about to do it again. I don't know. Give me a story about the song because we're gonna play it. I don't know. Just tell me something.
Eddie
Well, this is the last single off my newest album.
Morgan
Yeah, it's a boring story. Give me like a good story though. I don't know. Like a memory it evokes.
Eddie
I mean, honestly, for this, for this story. First off, it sounds like a song that I would have written to a tee, I feel like. And then also it was going around for four to five years and a lot of artists put it on hold.
Morgan
Wow.
Eddie
Yeah. And nobody cut it. So that's a cool story.
Morgan
What was. I agree. What was it about it that you heard and you went, oh, man. Like this feels like something I would write and I'm gonna cut it.
Eddie
Everything about it. It was my. It was my story, you know, not only which, my kids. I will say this. I haven't. Like, Kate would kill me if I took my kids to the McDonald's drive thru. But I, me growing up went, you know, I lived. That was. That was my thing. Every day going to. To school was getting orange juice from. From McDonald's and getting up, I guess. Sausage biscuit?
Morgan
Yeah. Hash brown, I think Orange juice, hash brown.
Eddie
That was. That was my childhood. So when I heard that, that was. That was already there with me. And then just the rest of the song just, you know, everything that Kingsley asked me about just the. The most simple questions that you can't really answer.
Morgan
New song to pair.
Eddie
So excited.
Morgan
Okay, go give me a story.
Eddie
New era KB what do you mean new era? I take this back. Not new era. Old era. KB with a twist. I'm going back. I'm basically going back to social media. If you hadn't noticed, I disappeared. I. Like I said I was going through those mental things and then I don't know, I just fell off, man. I just like, I just. I guess with three kids and just the energy, you. You gotta always try to figure out what to post. I'm about to just really focus on the social media aspect and really blow this. Blow this song up as much as possible. So you're about to get annoyed with me.
Morgan
Mm. I don't. I don't. You're not an annoying guy. No, I'm just saying your personality amplified is not even annoying.
Eddie
Oh, thank you. I can't. I can't get past this. This is amplified.
Morgan
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
Kane. Good to see you, buddy.
Eddie
Good to see you.
Morgan

Morgan
Hair, that type of thing.
T.S. Madison
No.
Bobby Bones
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?
Lunchbox
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.

Dan Flores

I remember sitting on her couch and.
Bobby Bones
Asking her, is this real?

My favorite line on there was my son and my daughter gonna be proud when they hear my old tapes. Now I'm curious, do they like rap along now?
Memphis Bleak
Yeah. Cause I bring him on tour with me and he's getting older now too, so his friends are starting to understand what that type of music is. And they're starting to be like, yo, your dad's like, really the goat. Like he's a legend, so he gets it.
Nyla Simone
What does it mean to leave behind a music legacy for your family?
Memphis Bleak
It means a lot to me. Just having a good catalog and just being able to make people feel good. Like that's what's really important and that's what stands out, is that our music Changes people's lives for the better. So the fact that my kids get to benefit off of that really happy, or my family in general.

Lunchbox took over our voicemail line and listeners had zero idea. They thought they were just talking to an automated machine, but it was in fact Lunchbox. And some just had no idea, moved on with their lives, and others were not very happy about it.
Morgan
Number six, Lunchbox took over the voicemail here at work, which means he just answ answers the phones and acts like the voicemail. Anything else you want to say before we hit it?
Lunchbox
No. I mean, I just like, everybody thinks they're going to get the voicemail because it's after the show. So I just answer it and say it's the voicemail. And they try to leave a voicemail, but then I just mess with them and they get very annoyed.
Morgan
Here we go.
Lunchbox
Bobby Bone show voicemail. Leave us a message.
T.S. Madison
I'd like to leave a message about the bank teller situation. I too.
Lunchbox
First of all. Wait, wait. First of all, are you having a great day?
Morgan
I am.
Lunchbox
What is your favorite color?
T.S. Madison
Blue.
Lunchbox
Who is your favorite member of the Bobby Bones Show?
T.S. Madison
I'm sorry, but it has to be Amy.
Lunchbox
Wrong answer. Try again.
T.S. Madison
Well, then it's Lunchbox. Ding, ding, ding. You win.
Lunchbox
Congratulations. You are the best caller to ever call the show. Thank you for leaving us a voicemail. Have a great day.
Bobby Bones
Bye.
T.S. Madison
Are you kidding me?
Eddie
Are you kidding me that I can't leave a message?
Morgan
I think that's what you realized. It was Lunchbox when he starts to, like, stop her.
T.S. Madison
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Morgan
Okay, let's hear another one.
Lunchbox
Bobby Bone show voicemail. Leave us a message.
T.S. Madison
Hello, I was calling about the.
Lunchbox
Please tell me, are you. Are you. Are you calling to say Abby sucks at singing? If so, say one. If you'd like to hear a special morning you agree Abby sucks at singing? Go ahead, tell us why.
Morgan
Didn't say sucks, right? Okay, one more.
Lunchbox
You've reached the Bobby Bone show voicemail. Leave us a message and we may play it on the air.
Bobby Bones
Hey, I have a comment about the cat.
Lunchbox
If you're satisfied with your message, press one. If you'd like to re record, press two.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God. I can't. Let's see, this is about if you're.
Lunchbox
Satisfied with your message, say 1. If you'd like to re record, press 2 or say 2.
T.S. Madison
2. 2.
Lunchbox
Please re record your message.
T.S. Madison
Hey, somebody dumped a dog at my house that I've taken.
Lunchbox
If you're satisfied with your message, say one.
Morgan
If you're satisfied. If you're satisfied with your.
T.S. Madison
Okay.
Morgan
Thank you all. Thank you all for dealing with that.
Lunchbox
Hey, great voicemails, right? I mean, they were fun.
Amy
We didn't really understand what they were.
Morgan
About, but yeah, speaking of our voicemails. So someone left this one really about our phone number. Now this is a real one. Ray hit number one.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna leave a gap.
Morgan
Morning, studio. Morning.
Bobby Bones
I thought I knew your guys number by heart. So I was dialing 1-877-BOBBY. And I think you guys should just dial that and see what comes up because it was something about, do you want to talk to a Sexy man? Press 2. If you want to talk to a.
T.S. Madison
Sexy woman, press three.
Bobby Bones
It's hilarious.
T.S. Madison
Love to hear.
Morgan
Yeah, our number is 877-77-Bobby.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. Don't make the mistake.
T.S. Madison
That's close.
Morgan
It's lunchbox. If you want to talk to a sexy man. 87777 Bobby, call us. Leave a voicemail. Most times you can leave it. Are you sassisfied? Sometimes you cannot.
Eddie
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Number two, Eddie needed some parenting help. Something's been going on with one of his kids and it involves music and headphones and not really paying attention. And he's just not sure how he should go about handling the whole situation.
Eddie
Number five.
Morgan
Okay, Eddie needs parenting help, and what a better team than all of us to give him parenting help.
Amy
I think you guys can actually help me with this.
Morgan
Go ahead.
Amy
Because I don't want to be the dad that's like, I don't like this, so I'm taking it away. But I'm tired of talking to myself. My oldest son, he's 17 years old, walks around the house all day with AirPods on, and he's always listening to music. And I'm talking to myself half the time. And I'm like, hey, yo, are you. Are you listening?
T.S. Madison
Take those off.
Amy
I can't tell him anything because he's there hanging out in the kitchen, listen to music and can't hear any of us. So we're like, tired of it. What do we do? Do we take him away? Do we tell him while you're in the house with us, you can't wear those and listen to music? It's getting frustrating Amy, you want to help?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I mean, I would just say it's okay for you to enforce some boundaries of when he can wear them, when he can't. Like, I think it's great that he wants to listen to music, but you can certainly come up with a rule. Like, if we're all in the kitchen together, headphones are out, and then you can put them back in when you go do this.
Amy
Like, yeah, okay, but see, I did say that. And he's like, all right, I'll just go to my room then.
Morgan
Gotcha. Hey, use the rules to his advantage.
T.S. Madison
Right?
Amy
I don't want him to be stuck in his room all day.
Bobby Bones
Why don't you just, like, instead of making it more of a demand, like, just having an honest conversation with him. Of like, hey, bud, like, respectfully, I would love to be able to talk to you, or I guess because I say bud or buddy to my kid or my son, but I would just be like, look, we need you present during some of this. I love that you. To listen to music. I'm so glad that you found something you really enjoy, and I want you to enjoy it. But there's also gonna be times where I need you to be engaged with the family.
Morgan
Here's the problem. You love music. You play music all the freaking time.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
And so now you're like, you can't be what I've been the whole life to us, and he's gonna be like, well, your dad, you play music all the time, and all of a sudden, I listen to it a different way. And you're gonna say, that's. I don't get to do that. Like, the culture you raised me in is not the culture that you're expecting of me.
Bobby Bones
He does get to do it. No, at other times, you're not taking it away.
Morgan
I mean, he's just listening to music. Who cares? He's doing nothing wrong. He's actually being good, and he's there. I would just say if you. If we say, hey, headphones out. Like, give us 15 take. Pull them out. 15 minutes. Yeah, you put it back in.
Amy
Hang out with us for a little bit.
Morgan
Yeah. So anytime it's like, hey, 15 minutes. But he's just gonna stay away. If you're like, hey, you can't listen to your music, he's gonna stay away more. At least you have him there.
Amy
But I even told him, too, like, you can listen. We can all listen to your music if you want.
Morgan
Oh, that's. That's terrible. And you're all not going to want to listen to his music.
Amy
He does listen to some hardcore hip hop.
Morgan
Yeah. You were the same way when you were a kid.
Amy
I would imagine identical. Identical. And I loved road trips in the back seat with my headphones on, listen to music. It's just frustrating for the parent, and I didn't realize this then, that when you're trying to talk to your kid and you don't know if they're listening or not. And sometimes I'll have a whole conversation. Oh, dude, the game last night was crazy. Did you see Shay Gild Alexander in that shot? And I get no response. Like, he's got headphones.
Morgan
Is that on you, though, to look and see if he has headphones in his ears?
Amy
Sometimes the music's on, sometimes it's not. He always has them in.
Morgan
I think he could be doing worse things to listen to music around the house.
Dan Flores
You're right.
Amy
You're right.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I totally agree. But I also am in agreement with you, Bobby, of that there can be a boundary. Like, there has to, like, set it. Like, Bobby gave more of a specific time limit. But you need engagement somehow.
Morgan
If you say, if you're wearing these in the house.
Eddie
You.
Morgan
You only. He's not gonna be in the house anymore.
Amy
We don't want to chase him away. Yeah.
Morgan
It's just listening to music. He's not shooting crack cocaine.
Amy
That I know of, so. Correct.
Morgan
No, he's not. You know why you know that? Because you see him. He's in front of you listening to music.
Amy
No, I hear what you're saying, and you're right.
Morgan
He's a good kid, and he found something he loves.
Amy
I know. It's just a little frustrating for me and mom when we're trying to talk to him, and it's like, take your headphones out.
Morgan
Could be video games in another room.
Amy
True, true. No, I appreciate you guys. You're right. Maybe I'll do something kind of like, you can be with us, and then you have 15 minutes to be without your AirPods. But then you let us know when they're on, and that's your time, and we won't bug you.
Morgan
Give us 30 minutes a night. We will never tell you you can't listen to music other than 30 minutes a night.
Amy
Okay. Guarantee you people are listening, being like, man, I deal with this crap all the time.
Morgan
Yeah, but they also probably were just like that when they were kids. Lunchbox, what would you suggest?
Lunchbox
Eddie, you are such a loser. Like, you don't want him to go to a concert by himself. You don't want him to listen to music in the house by himself.
Bobby Bones
That's not what he said.
Morgan
Kinda, but kind. That's what he's gonna feel like.
Lunchbox
Like, what if he wanted. What if he wanted to go outside and shoot baskets by himself and not be bothered? Would that be okay?
Morgan
All the time. He never came in.
Amy
He's outside, though, but he's okay with.
Morgan
That because he's not near the family. You can't.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you can't talk with him.
T.S. Madison
He. What's.
Amy
It's the same thing, though, if he's inside the house with headphones on, not even listening to us.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Amy
And we can't even engage with.
Morgan
No, you can't. You wave at him. Take your headphones.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Amy
It gets annoying after a while.
T.S. Madison
Hey, headphones off.
Morgan
I'm talking to being a teenager.
Amy
Definitely. That's definitely part of being a teenager.
Morgan
But I like lunchboxes. Theory of you're a loser.
Amy
Tough man.
Morgan
Has he taken the actual.
Amy
No, not yet.
Morgan
Did your daughter take the act?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she's about to. Like, we just got everything.
Morgan
Or sat.
Bobby Bones
She's about to take the act. So we had to go through some extra steps, though, because she. The school tested her for dyslexia, and she has it. I mean, she's been working the last year getting tutoring for it. Yeah.
Morgan
Genetics girl.
Bobby Bones
I know she's not biologically mine, but nurture.
Morgan
Nurture them. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So now her teachers are working with her on that, and then she's. That's. She's gonna actually get or take the act in a different way because of it. And I'm like, oh, wow, that's gonna be so great and so helpful. Like, I wish I had been diagnosed with adhd. I didn't get diagnosed till college, so I went all through high school without any type of extra support from my school or teachers or my parents, for that matter. So I'm just thankful that we can give her this support because it's gonna impact her grade significantly. And I think it would have helped me as well because of the type of test taker I am.
Morgan
Any advice to kids about taking the act? Go around the room. Everybody say something. ACT or sat? Amy, good luck.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Eeny, meeny, mighty mo.
Morgan
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Hey, just don't go out the night before. It's rough taking it the next day if you go out the night before.
Amy
Eddie, if you don't know the answer, just circle C. Usually that's the average of the right answer.
Morgan
I would say take practice tests.
Bobby Bones
Oh, well, yeah.
Amy
Well, that too.
Morgan
That too many. Over and over and over again. It's muscle memory. Take practice tests because those tests don't quiz you and test you on what you've learned. They test you on how good you are taking the test. So you just get better at taking the test. You don't have to learn all that crap. I didn't learn it. I crushed that test. I didn't learn all that stuff because I went to a bad school. Like, as far as education goes, I learned how to take the test. So it takes a little more than a couple weeks, but if you're a few months out, just get online and take the practice test over and over and over again. You will nail that thing. And don't go out and then do C and then. What'd you say? Hold on tight.
T.S. Madison
It's the best bits of the week.
Eddie
With Morgan number two.
Bobby Bones
I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all, his wife, Caroline.
Morgan
He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me.
Bobby Bones
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.
T.S. Madison
She said you left bruises, pulled her.
Morgan
Hair, that type of thing.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?
Lunchbox
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
Bobby Bones

Dan Flores
I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
T.S. Madison
Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution.
Dan Flores
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
T.S. Madison
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
Dan Flores
From Lava for good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season one, Taser Incorporated.

Eddie
I'll correct my kids now and then.
T.S. Madison

Eddie
And I'll say, it seems like the.
T.S. Madison
Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
Andrea Gunning
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
T.S. Madison

Amy
Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts.
T.S. Madison
Or wherever you get your podcasts. She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.
Bobby Bones
She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.
T.S. Madison
I remember sitting on her couch and.
Bobby Bones
Asking her, is this real?
T.S. Madison
Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying. This is a story all about trust.
Morgan
And about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh.
Bobby Bones
I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?
T.S. Madison
And I maximized that while I was lying. Listen to Deep Cover the Truth About Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts.

Nyla Simone
It's Black Music Month and we need the Talk is tapping in. I'm Nyla Simone, breaking down lyrics, amplifying voices, and digging into the culture that shapes the soundtrack of our lives. My favorite line on There was my son and my daughter gonna be proud when they hear my old tapes. Now I'm curious, do they like Rap along now?
Memphis Bleak
Yeah. Cause I bring him on tour with me and he's getting older now too, so his friends are starting to understand what that type of music is and they're starting to be like, yo, your dad's like really the goat. Like he's a legend, so he gets it.
Nyla Simone
What does it mean to leave behind a music legacy for your family?
Memphis Bleak
It Means a lot to me. Just having a good catalog and just being able to make people feel good, like, that's what's really important, and that's what stands out, is that our music changes people's lives for the better. So. So the fact that my kids get to benefit off of that, I'm really happy. Or my family in general.
Nyla Simone
Let's talk about the music that moves us to hear this and more on how music and culture collide. Listen to we need to Talk from the Black Effect podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Bobby Bones
There's a restaurant Bobby goes often, is one of his favorites, and they keep putting one of their body parts in his food. He's not sure if he should give the food another chance or. Or tell somebody about it, but he's worried about what that could look like. So we debate how Bobby should potentially handle this situation. And there was a lot of hot takes on the Internet about this one, about what he should do. And it's kind of common sense what to do. But, you know, life number four.
Morgan
Here's this place. They make the best soup, but every time we order it, the waiter has his or her thumb in our soup.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Amy
No, that's how they carry it, right?
Lunchbox
No, no, you don't carry. No, no, no, no.
Morgan
It's bizarre. They have excellent soup. Soup that makes you go. And we've been to get the soup four times and eat the soup there.
Bobby Bones
It.
Morgan
We go and got the soup the first time, and they were. There's. It's not on a plate. They carry it in the bowl.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
And their thumb was just right over. And the tip of their thumb was in my soup.
Amy
It's so gross.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's not okay.
Morgan
And I go, you know what? I don't like that. But I waited tables forever. And. And it's not even that. I, like, feel for the waiter because they're doing something wrong. But I don't want to go, oh, your fingers in my soup. Take it back. Because you know what they're gonna do? They're gonna put the wiener in my soup next time.
Amy
Oh, no.
T.S. Madison
Yes. I know.
Morgan
I know how this works. And so I let them sit the soup down. I tell my wife, I'm grossed out. Their finger's been in my soup. She saw it, too. So I go up. I take the soup up, and I'm like, hey. And I. I'm gonna be honest. I lied. So I'm about to tell a lie.
Nyla Simone
What?
Morgan
I'm about to tell a lie about what I said. I said, hey, something like thing came out the ceiling, like, a little, like, part of the drywall and, like, fell on my soup. Can I get another soup? Because I feel like I really light heart.
Amy
You got creative.
Morgan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's kind of my job, sir.
Morgan
But what else was I gonna say? What would you have said exactly? Nobody gets hurt in this situation. So that. Oh, it's like, oh, sorry about that. Because they're doing some construction, too, to part of. I don't want to say too much.
T.S. Madison
I understand what it is.
Bobby Bones
I already think I know.
Amy
You do know where it is because of that comment.
Bobby Bones
No, I already knew because the soup is so good.
Morgan
So then, yeah, the soup is so good. So they bring it back again. This thumbs in it again.
Amy
Because you didn't tell them the problem.
Bobby Bones
Stay up there and be like, I'll wait, y' all pour the soup and then hand it to me.
Morgan
No, because the soup doesn't come from a place where you see it. So they bring the soup. His thumb. The tip of his thumb's in it again because of how the bowl is.
Amy
So you gotta rip off the band aid, dude.
Lunchbox
More drywall.
Morgan
So what I do is I kind of section off that part of the soup. So I take a piece of bread and I build a little section. To not touch? Well, no, because the stone was just there, and I don't think it traveled all the way through the soup. So I build, like, a bread barrier, and the bread barrier in the soup makes sure none of the gross soup can get over to my soup. So I scoop some of the side out, and I put it on the plate kinda, and I eat that soup.
Amy
So the soup is thick enough for you to do that. It's not watery soup.
Morgan
Yeah, dude. Hey, it's good, right?
Amy
Awesome.
Morgan
So we go back again, and I'm like, I sure would like some soup this time. Less finger. And so we go. And it's a different waiter, It's a woman. And she brings it up, and her thumb is in the soup, except for it's not fully in the soup in the bowl. It's, like, pushed up against the side of the bowl. And she leaves a thumbprint in this on the side of the bowl of the soup. I took a picture and put it on my TikTok. And so it's a thumbprint on the side of my soup. We've been four times. We've been three times, but one doubled up, double up. The thing is, every time there's thumb in the soup. They should just call it thumb soup and a bracelet because they're not able to bring it out with that thumb in it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they need a new way to carry it.
Morgan
If I say they need to just.
Bobby Bones
Put it on their palms, I. I would agree.
Morgan
It's probably hot, though. And the bowl they use, it's probably hot, too. They need a better bowl.
Amy
Or like you said, the plate underneath the bowl.
Morgan
The plate works.
Amy
Bring that.
T.S. Madison
Yes.
Bobby Bones
So, like, ew.
Morgan
What would you do if you or me. And you love the soup, but every time there's a little thumb in it, but you really don't want to give up on the soup, but you don't like the thumb, what would you do?
Bobby Bones
I just have to ignore that the thumb was there. Block it out.
Morgan
You gotta, like, build a barrier with at least the bread.
Bobby Bones
Why not scoop it out? Can you not build a barrier and just take your spoon and scoop it out?
Morgan
I felt very much like an engineer when I built the barrier to keep it away. I was kind of proud of my engineering skills.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I would scoop out that section and then pretend it might have happened.
Morgan
Scoop out the thumb and then give yourself the minimum.
Bobby Bones
Like, yes.
Amy
I have an idea. Eddie, this is for the greater good. You're gonna have to tell him at some point that you cannot put your thumb in the soup. That's not good for the restaurant. Right. It's not good for you.
Morgan
Can I say something? And I don't want this to come off in any way other than what it is. If I tell somebody something like that, do you know what that ends up being? Bobby Bones is a jerk. And he came in and he said the soup was bad.
Amy
Correct. And this is why. I have a solution.
Morgan
Go ahead.
Amy
You take me.
Morgan
Okay.
Amy
I try the soup, and I tell him, your thumb was in the soup. I don't go to the restaurant. And that way you're like, dude, you're sitting with.
T.S. Madison
Oh, oh, dude.
Amy
You're like, you throw me under the bus.
Morgan
Give him a break, man. There's just some.
T.S. Madison
Oh.
Amy
And I'm like, I can't eat this. Your thumb was in the soup. Like.
Morgan
And then I get in a fight with you.
T.S. Madison
Correct.
Morgan
Get out of my favorite restaurant.
Bobby Bones
But it's multiple people with the thumb. So, like, it needs to be more of, like, a. From the top down. Like, they need to say, you want.
Morgan
To speak to the manager? And then I'm like, eddie, no, no.
T.S. Madison
No, no, no, no, no.
Amy
I gotta do this, Bobby.
Morgan
And you don't. Not right now. I just want to eat my food. You're embarrassing me. This is my favorite place.
Amy
No, this is disgusting. Let me talk to the manager.
Morgan
Oh, no. Okay.
T.S. Madison
Oh. Yo.
Eddie
So.
Morgan
Yes? Is there a problem?
T.S. Madison
Yeah, man.
Amy
Bobby, please, let me get this.
T.S. Madison
Look, look.
Amy
You put your soup in. You put your thumb in my soup.
Morgan
He's just managing a restaurant he didn't even know.
Amy
Look, man, I don't like.
Bobby Bones
No, no, man. No, don't. Can't say, man.
Morgan
You need him to be aggressive.
Bobby Bones
Look, man, seems a little.
Morgan
I'm the straight. I'm the straight guy. Yeah, okay.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
Yeah, go ahead.
Amy
Look, man.
Morgan
No, that doesn't mean you're gay. It means I'm. I'm the guy that's, like, straight.
Amy
Oh, okay.
T.S. Madison
Okay, okay.
Morgan
Yeah, got it.
Amy
Okay, look, look. I don't like thumbs in my soup.
Morgan
Okay?
Amy
That's got to stop.
Morgan
Wow, man.
Amy
And I want a free soup.
T.S. Madison
And then.
Amy
Then what do you say?
Morgan
I'd like a free soup, too.
Amy
No, no, no.
Lunchbox
You can't do that. You can't follow. You got to stay. No, Eddie, we don't deserve a free soup. That's when you got to.
Amy
And then. Dude, when all this is done, that.
Morgan
Feels like too much work. I'll be honest with you. I appreciate it, but that's a lot of work, okay? And I don't want to be videoed because there's going to be a big fight, and I want to be videoed on it.
Bobby Bones
Okay? Is there a way, though, to just be honest, like, without being a jerk and, like, you're not mad? Like, hey, can. Can I talk to the manager?
Amy
No, Bobby can't do that.
Bobby Bones
Okay? Not Bobby. Somebody just say, hey. So I've come here multiple times. I love this soup. Y' all have great soup, excellent service, blah, blah, blah. But every time they seem to carry it out, the way they hold the bowl, the tip of their thumb is in the soup. So, like, too risky.
Morgan
Too risky being mature. Lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
It's easy, man. You just got to. Bobby. I know you say, oh, Bobby's a jerk. It doesn't matter. Sometimes you got to be a jerk in life. And people are going to understand if you. If you get put online for saying, hey, someone's thumb is in my soup. No one wants thumb in the soup. Nobody. So they're all going to be on your side.
Morgan
I call it Thoop.
T.S. Madison
Or.
Lunchbox
Or Bobby, when. When you video the waiter as they're. As they're bringing you.
Morgan
I would never do that. I would never shame a waiter. I did Their face. I did post a picture on. I don't. To show the restaurant though, so I would never do that.
Bobby Bones
Just a thumbprint.
Amy
But worse, you gave a thumbprint out. Now they can find exactly who that is.
Morgan
So this is what I think I should do. I should call up and be like, I'd like to make a complaint.
Amy
Oh, use the voice changer.
T.S. Madison
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Morgan
No, no, just my voice changing. Your waiters keep putting their thumb in my soup.
Bobby Bones
That could work.
Amy
They look at caller id, Bobby.
Lunchbox
A burner email. You like burner emails?
Morgan
I could burner email them, although I don't know the email address us.
Bobby Bones
Do they have a suggestion box?
Morgan
I. I don't know. I don't look for that stuff. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Maybe because you could fill out.
Morgan
They could also just call it thoop, which I thought was a great idea. Yes. But that's. That's what we've been dealing with the last week and a half. I love the soup so much though.
Bobby Bones
What if they are like, oh yeah, that's part of our thing. They stick their thumb in a little seasoning and then they carry it that way.
Morgan
I would at least be like, call it soup.
T.S. Madison
I would.
Morgan
I wish I wouldn't have like put the barrier up and just enjoyed it as it.
Bobby Bones
Their thumb is flavored.
Morgan
Somebody's got to tell them it ain't gonna be me. I think I'm just gonna not do the soup for a while.
Bobby Bones
Maybe get the soup to go.
Morgan
Well then they probably put their knuckles in it.
Memphis Bleak
Oh no.
Bobby Bones
They put a lid. They put. It's in a. It's. I've gotten it to go. They put a lid.
Morgan
Yeah. You just have no idea what they're doing to that soup then.
Bobby Bones
I just feel like that's such a clean place. I'm sure their hands are clean.
Amy
You think?
Morgan
You think? In the podcast yesterday, Eddie told us about a place that. Yeah, Inspector went in. Nobody's hands were clean. You can check it out on my tick tock. And my answer, I guess I'll put on my Instagram too. But as I tell the story, you can see the thumbprint on the bowl. That's all. That's all I'll say. All right, thanks.
T.S. Madison
It's the best bits of the week.
Eddie
With Morgan Number two.
Bobby Bones
Amy was put on the Wheel of Punishment this week. She spoiled a TV show on Netflix called Nobody Wants this. And it was determined that she spoiled by a jury of listeners, all listeners who called in, shared their thoughts and that was how this was determined. But there was a lot of controversy that she shouldn't be on the wheel of punishment. And you have a lot of people out there who don't care about the spoiling of TV shows. You have other people who really care. It's an interesting dilemma. I feel like on the Internet, spoiling things in general. But life's weird with how quick we get access to things now. So it's kind of dicey on spoiling, in my opinion. But Amy did get put on the wheel and there was punishments like brushing her teeth with something disgusting and drinking a smoothie of a food that she hates. And the next day we spun the wheel. So we found out what Amy's punishment would be for this latest spoiling.
Morgan
Amy spoiled a show called Nobody wants this on Netflix. And now we must spin the wheel of punishment. Yesterday we walked through her punishments. Number one is a street apology. She has to stand out on a busy street with a sign that says I suck and I spoil TV shows. That one's pretty straightforward on the nose. Number two, gross teeth brushing. She has to brush her teeth with mayonnaise as toothpaste for 45 seconds, then use pickle juice as mouthwash for 15 seconds. One minute.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
Next up, olive smoothie. And per her request, we'll use pickle juice.
Bobby Bones
No, not. That was not my.
Morgan
And we'll use Eddie's portable blender, the ninja, which we've talked about many times.
Bobby Bones
But okay.
Morgan
Next she has to give Lunchbox a five minute foot massage with foot oils on his soccer. And grossly, like, believe it or not.
Bobby Bones
But I would rather do that than drink an alcohol smoothie.
Amy
I knew it.
Bobby Bones
Like, like it makes me want to throw up thinking about it.
Lunchbox
Will you trim my nails while you're at it?
T.S. Madison
Oh, we should get her some click. Yeah, yeah.
Morgan
Nail trimmers.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
Morgan
Maybe it's just a full, like a full body work on the foot salon.
Amy
Work on the foot.
Bobby Bones
Like a pedicure.
Morgan
Like you're like rubbing. You're clipping his nails.
Amy
Landing down.
Morgan
Yeah, you're licking between the skin and the toe.
Bobby Bones
No, no lick.
Lunchbox
Isn't that what they do?
Bobby Bones
No, they don't do that.
Morgan
Next up, dog cone. She has to wear a big dog cone for two shows.
Bobby Bones
This is not going to work. I love that because I'm not going to be able to talk.
Morgan
Yeah, it'd be a fun echo. Or we'll create a microphone that goes and dips down into the cone. And then there's also, as you see here, there are two free spots.
Bobby Bones
And that's Just like, literally, I'm free.
T.S. Madison
You're free.
Morgan
No punishment. Okay, so we'll spend today, see what it lands on, and she'll do her punishment next week. What are you hoping for, Eddie?
Amy
I'm hoping for the. Oh, that foot massage sounds good.
Bobby Bones
I mean, don't you want to use your blender? You would think.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Amy
I mean, sure, the blender's fine. I mean, I use it anyway. But I think lunchbox feet so gross.
Morgan
And I think he benefits, too, so.
Amy
Correct.
Morgan
We win, and he wins, his wife wins. Lunchbox. Which one would you like?
Lunchbox
Oh, I'd like a foot massage. It'll put me in a better mood, you know, just relaxing and having someone take care of my feet. Amazing.
Morgan
I'm kind of rooting for the gross teeth brushing.
T.S. Madison
That's pretty gross.
Morgan
The mayonnaise is the toothpaste. Pickle juice has a mouthwash that seems pretty solid. I bet you will hear some gags.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're definitely gonna hear gags. Especially when the pickle juice comes in.
Amy
You don't like pickle?
Bobby Bones
No. Because in sixth grade was on the pep squad, I threw up a pickle, and I don't eat pickles ever since then.
Morgan
So we'll do one practice spin.
T.S. Madison
All right.
Morgan
This won't be it. We'll just see. Just see what it lands on.
Lunchbox
Feel free. Come on.
Morgan
Wait, so you want to torture with a free one when it doesn't count?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, you gotta waste the free.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Just go spin it. Spin that wheel.
Lunchbox
There's some anger. There's some anger.
Bobby Bones
No, I just want to.
Morgan
Is there anything you'd like to say, Wheel?
Bobby Bones
Nothing.
Morgan
Nothing.
Amy
Dear Lord, your last words.
Morgan
Well, this is a fake spin.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
All right, let's spin that wheel.
Amy
Come on, free. Come on, free.
Bobby Bones
Do all good things.
Morgan
Oh, so it got close to free, but it ended up on Street Apology.
Lunchbox
Perfect.
Bobby Bones
I do not want to do that.
Morgan
You don't want to do that one, really? What if I said you can just have Street Apology? Now walk away.
Bobby Bones
No, I really don't want to do Street Apology. I don't want to drink the olive smoothie either, but I just don't want to go stand outside and it's just so awkward for me and uncomfortable. I mean, maybe I gag a little with the other stuff, but that. I don't like it.
Morgan
Okay, well, now we will spin.
Bobby Bones
This is the for real one.
Morgan
This is the for real one.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
Unless you want to.
Bobby Bones
What's that? What's that that you're doing? What's that?
Amy
Nothing.
Morgan
Nothing. It's a. It's just a label.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that seemed like something.
Morgan
You think I'm manipulating the will?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
That turns it to where it's gonna land, Amy.
Morgan
Okay, are you ready?
Bobby Bones
What'd you do that for?
Morgan
Do you want another? Okay, one more. Practice one.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no.
Amy
One more.
Morgan
Practice one. Practice one.
Lunchbox
So now you missed. You're eliminated, too.
Bobby Bones
Really? Like, give that a real go. But it's okay. Just spin it for real. Let's get this over.
Lunchbox
Which one would you like it to start on?
T.S. Madison
Which?
Bobby Bones
I don't care. I don't care.
Morgan
Great question. Do you want it to start on free?
Amy
Oh, that'd be good. Chances are I might fall back.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Just. Just spin the wheel.
Amy
Do you have any last words?
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah, we can do a song. Watch. I wait. Blood on your face.
T.S. Madison
Big disgrace Spinning that wheel all over the place. We will spin you.
Amy
Oh, thin you.
Bobby Bones
I am never talking about a show again.
Morgan
Ready?
Lunchbox
Is that a promise?
Morgan
Okay, let's spin it. This is the real one.
Bobby Bones
Come on.
T.S. Madison
Here we go. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Go, go, go. Let's spin that wheel. I can't see it. I can't see it.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. It's on free.
Amy
So stupid.
Morgan
It's on free. This is so stupid.
Amy
There's no lesson left.
Morgan
There's no justice in the world.
Bobby Bones
I said.
T.S. Madison
You know what?
Morgan
I said, there is no justice in the world. This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I said, dear Lord, you think the Lord's listening for your will prayer? I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
I will do.
Lunchbox
Which Lord did you pray to?
T.S. Madison
Whatever you need.
Morgan
Oh, you owe.
Bobby Bones
For the children.
Morgan
You owe these, then.
Amy
Oh, you promise?
T.S. Madison
What?
Morgan
Oh, you owes. He's the Lord.
T.S. Madison
Yeah, you said whatever.
Lunchbox
For the children.
Morgan
I can't believe she hit that. The free. This is so stupid. 1, 2, 3, 4. She had, like, a 10 chance of hitting free, and she had free.
Amy
And now she's never gonna learn to not spoil shows.
Bobby Bones
No, no, I swear, I've learned. I'm not.
Morgan
You said that the last six times.
Bobby Bones
Put on the wheel like this. With all of those options. I. I feel bad for y' all. Cause y' all had this whole thing mapped out.
Morgan
Yeah, I came up with a lot of the freaking ideas, so we could.
Bobby Bones
Some listeners are really gonna hate that it landed on free, but.
Lunchbox
Oh, they're gonna hate it a lot.
Bobby Bones
Well, it is what it is. Like you.
Morgan
Oh, listen how cocky she is now. It is what it is. She's got a little pep in her stuff.
Bobby Bones
And you admitted before you cannot manipulate the wheel.
Morgan
I cannot.
Bobby Bones
So you did that little.
Morgan
If it were just for the segment of the show, she would have lost. Like, if it were fixed, she would have lost.
Amy
You know what, though? Odds are she's gonna spoil another show. So just leave that stuff on the wheel.
Morgan
I mean, what have you watched lately? We walked her into it.
Bobby Bones
I actually quit watching tv.
Amy
Tell me about it.
T.S. Madison
And movies.
Morgan
Yeah, well, there is no punishment.
T.S. Madison
Dang.
Bobby Bones
That is crazy. Hey, should we go get some lottery tickets?
Amy
No, we shouldn't.
Morgan
We all lost.
Bobby Bones
Well, should I?
Morgan
Yeah, you should.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
T.S. Madison
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan number two.
Bobby Bones
I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all his wife, Caroline.
Morgan
He texted, I've ruined our lives. You're going to want to divorce me.
Bobby Bones
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.
T.S. Madison
She said you left bruises, pulled her.
Morgan
Hair, that type of thing. No.
Bobby Bones
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?
Lunchbox
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
Bobby Bones

T.S. Madison
Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.
Dan Flores
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
T.S. Madison
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

Bobby Bones
She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.
T.S. Madison
I remember sitting on her couch and.
Bobby Bones
Asking her, is this real?
T.S. Madison
Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying. This is a story all about trust.
Morgan
And about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh.

Nyla Simone
It's Black Music Month, and we need the talk is tapping in. I'm Nyla Simone, breaking down lyrics, amplifying voices, and digging into the culture that shapes the soundtrack of our lives. My favorite line on there was, my son and my daughter got going to be proud when they hear my old tapes. Now I'm curious, do they, like, rap along now?
Memphis Bleak
Yeah, because I bring him on tour with me and he's getting older now, too, so his friends are starting to understand what that type of music is. And they're starting to be like, yo, your dad's like, really the goat. Like, he's a legend, so he gets it.
Nyla Simone
What does it mean to leave behind a music legacy for your family?
Memphis Bleak
It means a lot to me. Just having a good catalog and just being able to make people feel good. Like, that's what's really important and that's what stands out, is that My music changes people's lives for the better. So the fact that my kids get to benefit off of that, I'm really happy. Or my family in general.
Nyla Simone
Let's talk about the music that moves us to hear this and more on how music and culture collide. Listen to we need to Talk from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
Bobby Bones
I'm not putting this here because it's me. I'm putting it here because the numbers were high on this one. I shocked the studio this week with some news about my boyfriend. They met my parents, and the show could not believe that I did this while my parents were around. And they still, to this day, cannot let it go. They seem to think it is very alarming, but I think, for the most part, the Internet had my back on this one.
Morgan
Number two, Morgan, has your new boyfriend met your parents yet?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, my family's been in town all week. And, yeah, you finally got to meet him.
Morgan
That's why I asked. I knew they were here. I don't know if you kept them from him. Did you make a big to do about. We're gonna do an official everybody meet, or was it just an organic thing where we're gonna be here? He's gonna be here.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was just really organic. And we all went to dinner their first night that they got in, it was super casual, and he's been hanging out with us all week for all the festivities.
Morgan
Staying at your house?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
While they're there. Staying at your house. He's staying at your house while your parents are staying at your house.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
T.S. Madison
Where's he sleeping?
Morgan
Attic.
T.S. Madison
Is he in the attic?
Bobby Bones
He stays with me. Oh, my gosh. My mind is.
Morgan
Wow. And we're all adults, and you're an adult.
Bobby Bones
I'm in my 30s, guys. No, no, no.
Morgan
I know that you guys just started dating four or five months ago.
Bobby Bones
Not even.
Morgan
And it's also your parents are staying at the house, so a little bit. I got a little mild shock there.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't think it's so much. It's not to clarify. It's not judgment. It's just shocking. Like, wow, you can do that.
Morgan
Great. It's not judgment.
Bobby Bones
It's not. Because I don't think any of us are judging her at all for it. We're just more like, wow. I mean, both of my parents have since passed, but that would never happen. Not, I mean, my job.
Morgan
Six months. How long have you guys been dating?
Bobby Bones
It's been Three.
T.S. Madison
Three.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
I'm saying six months or less.
Bobby Bones
Oh, six months.
Morgan
I think there's a point too. He probably. No judgment. And also good for you because you know who you are. You know who you are with your parents. I love it. For me, I don't even have parents, so it's hard for me to even say this. But what I'm saying is, I think in the first meeting, in that whatever that time exchange is, in the events of the first meeting, he wouldn't have been staying at the house. The first meeting with the parents would have been, okay, we're gonna have dinner, we're gonna hang out. Then they come back the second time he's staying in the house. It's like a slow walk. But you know who you are. And I sell it.
Amy
This is a bomb.
Morgan
I celebrate.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, right. But like, how do you tell. Like, how does that go? I don't know how that would go. Like, do your parents say. Do you just say he's staying, walk us through it?
Morgan
Or does he just go to bed and it's like, all right, good night, everybody. And he just takes his shirt off and walks in the bedroom?
Amy
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
He doesn't, like, take his shirt off in front of him. But yeah, I mean, it's my house. They're staying at my house. So you know, they're not gonna be like, no, you can't do what you want in your house.
Morgan
Never thought that. That the relationship you have with your parents is also awesome. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But I mean, is there a. I guess, is there a conversation or. It just happens.
Morgan
So did you tell them he would be staying at the house too?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like, in advance. I was like, yeah, he stays at the house quite a bit. So it's also been super helpful because it's just such a busy week. He's super helpful with everything. So, like, I'm like, I kind of need him here.
Lunchbox
Wait, what? Question in the morning, like, does he breakfast?
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Like, without a shirt on or is he like, like had to get all dressed before he comes out there?
Morgan
He's doing his pull ups. He's got the little thing, he puts it up the doorway and he's doing pull ups.
Lunchbox
Like, that's just so crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's crazy. Morgan is coming to work and then he's waking up with her parents. With her parents.
Lunchbox
So how does that go?
Morgan
Is that true?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
T.S. Madison
Dang. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Cuz he doesn't go in as early as we do. Okay. He goes and makes his coffee and he hangs out. No, that's what I'm saying.
Morgan
So he's whity tighty chilling and your.
Bobby Bones
Parents are there high fiving your kids. Oh, it's at a whitey DY party in the kitchen.
Morgan
The first time they met him, did he stay at your house that night? Night you go. The first time he meets them, did he stay also? Stay?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
T.S. Madison
Oh, that's tough.
Morgan
Did he feel weird about that? I would have felt weird.
T.S. Madison
So weird.
Bobby Bones
Like, he did ask. He was like, are you like, are you sure you want me to say? Like, is this okay? And I was like, yeah, it's whatever. Bobby's married. And when they go visit Caitlyn's parents.
Morgan
He'S like, are you guys sure?
Bobby Bones
Guys, I'm the last of four daughters. They really just kind of gave up on me.
Amy
I get that.
Morgan
I mean, yes, all I understand every part of it. It still is a little weird, but good for you. Good for you.
Bobby Bones
I guess I didn't even realize it's like a weird thing until you guys all just responded like that. I didn't even think anything. How we grow up so differently, you know?
Morgan
Oh, yeah, I had no rules, but also I had no girls. You know, it wasn't that I grew up so different. I just was different. Like, ah, okay.
T.S. Madison
So.
Morgan
So he just stayed at the house.
Bobby Bones
I know Morgan's like, guys, I'm 30. I'm like, I could be 50.
Morgan
And you guys are good. Relationship's good?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's going so awesome. He's a great. I have not. There's not a single person that's met him, of my friends or family that has disliked him. They, they all love him.
Morgan
Have you done a background check?
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. That was like one of the first things I did. I did like, first night I met him, I was like, who are you?
Morgan
No, no, no, no. Did you like, official background check?
Bobby Bones
Oh, I did like a deep dive. And I had my friends who are very FBI investigators go into really, we're rooting for you.
Morgan
Not literally.
Bobby Bones
Not like literally.
Morgan
You think she has friends?
Bobby Bones
Like, it's a, it's a joke. Cuz, like, women are FBI investigators and some, some of your girlfriends just are better at it than others. And they will go deep dive on anything that you need because they're just good. What do they call, like, did you.
Morgan
Think she has literal FBI investigators?
Lunchbox
Guys, I literally, I, I'm shocked that you sit there and Google someone.
T.S. Madison
1.
Lunchbox
Like, I, I am shocked by this.
Morgan
What, what year are we in now?
T.S. Madison
Here we go.
Morgan
This is the opposite here.
Lunchbox
No, no, I am actually shocked by this. Like, whatever happened to just like, get to know the person? And why do you get to go dig through stuff on the Internet?
Morgan
Whatever happened to predictability?
Lunchbox
The milkman, the paper boy, even the tv? Sorry, guys. I. I just thought maybe you could just go out with him and get to know him instead of having to dig through like Facebook and Instagram and go look at all his posts.
T.S. Madison
Posts.
Morgan
And I literally meant did you do a real background check?
Bobby Bones
It's even more for like the legal side. It's not like you're like going to find out all the info about that, but you have.
Morgan
You have a history of dating dudes.
Bobby Bones
That have been in trouble, so that's. That's why it's kind of important.
Morgan
I said have mug shots.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's true. Nope, there is one.
Morgan
I needed that to be recognized officially by the room. Yes, go ahead.
Bobby Bones
I feel like that would be valid for yes. Like, there's been. There's a lot of distrust that has happened, so why not get ahead of it and just see if they have a record.
Morgan
Morgan, we are rooting for you. What's the age separation?
Bobby Bones
We are three years apart.
Morgan
He's older than me, so close enough to not matter.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know.
T.S. Madison
Okay.
Amy
You saw him at the stadium. Got my eyes on him.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Good looking dude.
Morgan
Well, I saw pictures of him.
Amy
Oh, I haven't seen that.
Morgan
She's launched it.
T.S. Madison
Oh, really?
Amy
No, I didn't.
Bobby Bones
There's like side profiles.
Morgan
Oh, wait, you haven't shown full face.
Bobby Bones
Not full face.
Morgan
I've seen his full face. Cuz somebody else tagged his full face that you were in it.
Bobby Bones
I think he. Well, he's posted.
T.S. Madison
Got it.
Morgan
Someone saw it and tagged.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
Oh, you haven't seen. Yeah, good looking dude.
Amy
No, no, good looking dude. And he was blowing kisses and I thought he was blowing kisses at me. I'm like, yeah, dude, back at you. And then pork is like, that's my boyfriend. Oh, cool.
Bobby Bones
And he's like a listener. Really likes me.
Morgan
Wait a minute. You can talk to people through the computer in another state.
Bobby Bones
I mean, there are people that don't want to Google and find out information and they want to hear like, I.
Morgan
Know it's rare if you're 40 and below. Even 50 and below. You need to Google search and see if you have person has any priors.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
Because it's an available tool. So why would you not see what.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or not even.
Morgan
For safety reasons.
Bobby Bones
Just anything.
Morgan
Oh yeah. And then you check.
Bobby Bones
Then you check like everything. Yeah, Like Because I. I just found out that my boyfriend did that to me. And I was shocked because he's 52. So I thought, like, to your point, Bobby, like the age thing, I just thought the older they are, the less they likely they were to do that. And he's like, oh, like a newspaper checkup.
Morgan
He went to the public library, put it in Microfish.
Bobby Bones
He did a total deep dive. And I didn't find that out until kind of recently. And I'm like, him? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Morgan
Okay, Morgan, good luck.
Nyla Simone
Thank you.
Morgan
Let's go.
Eddie
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
T.S. Madison
Number two.
Bobby Bones
Even further shock value was when Bobby made a statement about the temperature he keeps his home. And all of us in the studio were, no way. This is not even possible because how do you live in these conditions? So we had two big shock factors here at 1 and 2. And Bobby is really keeping the Internet going with this one. So listen, let us know your thoughts. You can go check us out @bobbyboneshow on all the things, including our YouTube channel, which you should definitely subscribe to.
Morgan
Number one, the temperature that makes most couples the happiest. Amy.
Bobby Bones
Oh, 60.
Morgan
Don't say it.
Bobby Bones
Eight.
Amy
Good job, Amy.
Morgan
The study found that the perfect temperature is, or rather the one that keeps arguing at bay the most in a house is Eddie 72 lunchbox.
Lunchbox
You said I couldn't say it, so I will say 74.
Eddie
Ooh, that's hot.
Morgan
Are you one of the families where you don't turn your air on until way later in the summer?
Lunchbox
I will turn it on at night when we're going to sleep, but during the day I try to keep it off and just leave the doors open.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I was picturing bedtime.
Morgan
I would imagine your dad did that then if you're doing that.
Lunchbox
My dad, he would leave at 7 o' clock in the morning and he would turn their conditioning off and then he would turn it back on. And like when you go visit them, they don't have the AC on. They just open all the windows and they turn the fans on. They don't think it's hot.
Amy
So, like during the day when it's really hot, the AC is not running?
T.S. Madison
No.
Morgan
At your house, right?
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, it's set at like, you know, 76, 77. So you have it.
Bobby Bones
So then when you turn it down at night, it's having to work real hard, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah, but you save money from.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that you do.
Morgan
Because then you're saying it has to Work really hard to then pump out all that cold air to get. I don't know either way. But all my point was it's an inherited trait.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
Because his dad did it, so he must do it as well.
T.S. Madison
Yeah, yeah.
Morgan
The answer is 71.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that sounds right to me. I was trying to guess. For most people, I'm not. I'm in a. I'm a 70. 71 person. And. But that would cause issues when we.
Morgan
Sleep at 63 in our.
Bobby Bones
See, that's ridiculous. Insane.
Amy
That's ridiculous, dude.
Morgan
Does anybody else think that's not insane? Am I the only one that. That. That's normal to like, that is insane.
Amy
The fact that you found a wife to agree with that.
Morgan
No, no, no. I found a wife that puts on more covers. Like, we got like eight layers of COVID.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
We go to sleep on 63 now. That's not normal for anybody.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. My thermostat has never been to 60.
Amy
No, mine hasn't either.
Morgan
Acted like I built a rocket ship and I'm like, exploring space.
Lunchbox
How do you get out of bed? Like, it's so cold. You wouldn't want to get out of bed.
Morgan
So it annoys her when she has to get out of bed and get into bed.
T.S. Madison
Yeah.
Morgan
And if I turn it down way early because I like to get it primed before I go to bed. Bed. I'll go in there and crank it down. And so she's like, you already turned the air on. It's freezing in here. And I'm like, well, get in the bed.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's.
Morgan
And we have a sleep number that warms up her side.
Amy
Okay, so that works. What's your daytime temperature?
Morgan
68.
Eddie
What?
Amy
That's crazy.
Lunchbox
During the day.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. This is crazy.
Amy
I'd say you're. No, no, go ahead. Your dad didn't do that.
Morgan
I didn't have a dad. Didn't have.
T.S. Madison
Why?
Amy
I wasn't going to say it, but. Well, you said that with lunchbox, and I thought, yeah, maybe. No, know.
Morgan
Yeah. My inherited tr.
Amy
What is the. The What's. What's the reason behind that? Like, why do you want it so cold now?
Lunchbox
Because his dad throws him out.
Bobby Bones
Couldn't control it.
Morgan
No, I don't think guys. I think I just prefer it colder.
Amy
Ah, there's something there.
Morgan
No, there's not. Everything doesn't have to be psychological because I didn't have a dad.
Bobby Bones
Well, you do want it really, really, really, really, really cold in here.
Morgan
Yeah. You think? Better.
Amy
So there's no Scientific proof on that.
Morgan
Yes, there is.
Bobby Bones
But then why do you want to sleep? Like, maybe if you warmed it up a little, you'd sleep better. I mean, I sweat.
Morgan
I got sweat and get hot.
Bobby Bones
I know they say to sleep in a cooler room, but I don't know about the working in a cold environment because we're just all cold all the time.
T.S. Madison
No.
Morgan
You guys have hoodies on in July works, correct? Yeah, it's not even July yet. It's June right now. People, their brains perform better in cooler environments. Cognitive performance peaks between 68 and 70 degrees.
Amy
Okay, and that. What. What research was that?
Morgan
Warm is bad because you become sleepier and more distracted. Reaction time and working memory slows down, and you're more likely to make small mistakes. Cooler temperatures help keeps your brain alert and engaged. Slight cold triggers mild stress response, which sharpens focus. Less chance of overheating, especially with screen time or studio lights, too. We keep this room cold.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but you said 68 to 70. You keep it below that.
Amy
What's it at now?
Morgan
But I don't wear blankets when I'm in here. I don't need it below.
Bobby Bones
You said peak. You peak at between 68.
Morgan
But I'm not trying to think when I sleep.
Bobby Bones
I thought that you were talking about in here.
Morgan
Oh, in here. What's. What's it on?
Bobby Bones
It's on 67. Yeah, but that's because they put a governor on it.
Morgan
I keep going, turn it down, and Morgan's like, they won't let us anymore. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Have you ever considered that the reason you potentially aren't sleeping super well is because it is so cold?
Morgan
No, because I know that's not true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, sleeping cool helps, but does it have to be that cool?
Morgan
Yes, that's my preferred. I guess I've experimented with this forever.
Lunchbox
Aren't you so cold that you have to get up and pee three times because your body is working?
Morgan
No, I'm under cover.
Amy
What does that have to do with being cold?
Morgan
I'm under multiple blankets.
Lunchbox
When you're cold, you pee more.
Morgan
I'm not cold when I sleep. I'm perfect. How do you know that my body's warm? The only thing that gets a little cold is my forehead.
Amy
Oh, because it's sticking out?
Morgan
Yeah, because the rest of me, I sleep with my head under a pillow on the flat bed. 80% of the time, if the pillow's.
Bobby Bones
On top of your face.
Morgan
On top of my head.
Amy
How do you breathe now?
Bobby Bones
What happened to your CPAP machine?
Morgan
Now, this is psychological. I want to tell You. Why?
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
Growing up, I never had a bedroom, so I put a pillow over my head so I felt like I had some sort of privacy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're like blocking out the light.
T.S. Madison
Yep.
Morgan
So I would. Well, not just the light, but also just like it felt like I had walls. And so I would always either sleep with my face right up against the back of the couch because I never had a bedroom or. And I'd put a pillow on my head. So I still do that now. I lay down and I put a pillow over my head and it. And just that's what made me comfortable growing up.
Amy
What about now that you have a room? You don't need the pillow over your head.
Morgan
I hear you. But we have a lot of things that we still hold on to. Trauma or trauma based. And I enjoy my trauma.
Amy
You don't enjoy it.
Morgan
I didn't realize that's gonna be the big talking point. I sleep on 63.
Amy
It's. I mean. Yeah, I don't think anyone else does that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't know anybody.
Lunchbox
Nobody?
Bobby Bones
Nope.
Lunchbox
Do we need an intervention?
Amy
Pretty unique.
Morgan
No, I don't. No. You guys have tried to intervene in this studio and it's not even cold enough in here right now for me. I'm already a little sweaty. Okay, I'm done with this segment. Peter, Peter, Peter.
