[Eddie]

Oh, thanks, Jane. I will say I do like the clean shaved head. Like, because I'll let it grow for a couple days and when I shave it clean, it's like, woo. Feels good. Feels fresh.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but do you like, like the little stubble? Cause like, I'll shave my face because, you know, dermaplane, that's the thing.

[Eddie]

Excuse me.

[Morgan]

Women do.

[Eddie]

Excuse me.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's dermaplane. It makes your face look all glossy.

[Eddie]

Do you put shaving cream on and everything?

[Morgan]

No, I go to somebody and she doesn't because I. If I. Listen, Eddie, they try and shave my neck and I have neck phobia, so it's a whole thing.

[Eddie]

What do you mean? No one can touch your neck?

[Morgan]

Yeah, you know, we've talked about this before. I have like a thing. If you touch my neck, I'll literally like, it's like a body response and I'll like, karate chop you.

[Eddie]

You'll kill me.

[Morgan]

Well, I was gonna say. I was gonna say like, gut punch you and it felt weird. So karate.

[Eddie]

Hey, you know what would also be weird? If I touched your neck.

[Morgan]

Exactly. But like, Lunchbox always hits me in.

[Eddie]

Studio, so can't do that.

[Morgan]

You never know.

[Eddie]

Punch him back.

[Morgan]

Marching band for life. And quit being a hater. That's from Sarah.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's just funny. That's just being funny. Guys don't hate on me.

[Morgan]

Natalia said, I love you guys. And Morgan, I'm so happy for you and the boyfriend.

[Eddie]

Yeah, me too. Morgan, I'm happy for you and the boyfriend.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Okay, Mr. Troll, you join the studio when I get troll on that, Mr. Eddie.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. I just laugh and I enjoy the ride. I never jump on and throw jabs. I like just enjoying the ride because we're wherever you take them. Morgan is just a great place. Especially when they're all shocked.

[Morgan]

Well, it's probably because I'm just the one over here who' going about my whole life being on air all the time.

[Eddie]

You got to admit, though, is that whatever you said was shocking.

[Morgan]

It wasn't. You guys, I think it's.

[Eddie]

I think it's hilarious that you didn't think it was shocking.

[Morgan]

Hey, different upbringings, you know? Different life. For sure.

[Eddie]

For sure. Hey, different strokes, different folks.

[Morgan]

Is that TV show Family?

[Eddie]

I don't know. I don't know. No, not Family Strokes. Those are two different ones. Family Matters in Different Strokes.

[Morgan]

Oh, there is one that called Different Strokes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but that's old man.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

That's, like, before me. Me.

[Morgan]

Listen, I get. What is the other family one?

[Eddie]

Family Matters.

[Morgan]

No, but what's the other one?

[Eddie]

Family Ties.

[Morgan]

Family Ties. Family Matters. Different Strokes. I get those three TV shows confused all the time.

[Eddie]

I get it. I get it. This is way before you. Like, why would you even know those shows even existed?

[Morgan]

I know Urkel. I just know, like, the character Urkel, but that's about it.

[Eddie]

And what show is that?

[Morgan]

Family Matters.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I'm getting there. I'm trying to piece it together because I keep getting freaking older generation questions all the time, and I don't know anything.

[Eddie]

I know. And how do you even study for that?

[Morgan]

I'm gonna have to start, like, going online and taking generational trivia questions. Okay. Laura from New Mexico says, I love your voice. I hear no nasal at all.

[Eddie]

Oh, thanks, Laura. I mean, it is my voice. Not much I can do about that.

[Morgan]

I know. See, I like your voice, too. I don't. I don't hear it. But also, I hate my own voice, so don't look at me.

[Eddie]

I wonder there's anyone that loves their own voice.

[Morgan]

No, but you know what? Speaking of. Speaking of our voices, Troy in Orlando, this is a funny question, wants to know, if we had to describe our voices as a flavor, what would it be?

[Eddie]

Ooh, a flavor.

[Morgan]

And we for sure are going to hear our voices different than other people. So just know that we are hearing our voices in a certain way than you probably are right now, listening to us.

[Eddie]

Mine would be mint chocolate chip.

[Morgan]

Is that just because you like mint chocolate chip?

[Eddie]

No, no, no. I. I feel like the letter M is what makes my voice different. Like, Like, M makes the nasal. Maybe to, like, ns. I don't know. To me, the letter M is like, whenever I can really hear my. My nasal ness. Like, if I say, like, Eddie, I don't hear nasal, but I say Morgan, I hear nasal, but so, like, mint chocolate chip, and it's greenish. I always feel like the sound of my voice is kind of greenish. Like. Like, you know how you put, like, colors to sounds? Do you ever do that? Or is that just me? Am I. Am I weird?

[Morgan]

You're not weird. I don't know that I've ever, like, thought about it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like. Like certain songs have a color to them.

[Morgan]

What are you like, isn't that something that Stevie Wonder does?

[Eddie]

I don't know. I don't know. I've heard Bobby talk about it, but I'm not like a musician that does that. I'm just a consumer of music that does that.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

You know what I mean? Like, I hear music, I hear songs and be like, ah, that song reminds me of baby blue. Or like, just has a color designated to it. And for me, my voice is green, which is kind of mint chocolate chip cook greenish.

[Morgan]

So it's like that green. Not a lime green frog type color?

[Eddie]

No, no, it's like a. Like a minty green. Yeah.

[Morgan]

What color would you describe my voice as?

[Eddie]

Purple.

[Morgan]

That's interesting.

[Eddie]

Purple.

[Morgan]

Purple.

[Eddie]

I don't. I don't know why.

[Morgan]

It just. That's what it sounds like to you?

[Eddie]

I don't know why. Yeah, it just sounds purplish.

[Morgan]

Purple is my adult favorite color.

[Eddie]

Is it really?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What was your kid favorite color?

[Morgan]

I really loved blue, but not like blue, like royal blue. I loved like a teal kind of blue.

[Eddie]

Yeah, me too. That's my favorite color.

[Morgan]

Teal blue.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like a. Like a. Like a ocean blue. You know, blue. Blue. Green. Blue green.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Kind of like an algae a little bit color.

[Eddie]

Yes, absolutely.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I like that color too. Seafoam. All those, like, just that kind of family. I loved those colors. Okay. Mint chocolate chip.

[Eddie]

I mean, that's a. That's a cool question, because it's so, like, out there.

[Morgan]

I know. And it makes you think. I think the first thing that came to mind for me, I was thinking more personality and tone of my voice, and I went, margarita.

[Eddie]

Hey, Morgan, I love margaritas.

[Morgan]

I know you do, and that's not why I chose it.

[Eddie]

No, I know. I know that. I didn't think that's why you chose it, but, like, margaritas are the best thing in the whole wide world. Well, I know that might be my favorite drink of all time.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah. And there's no way it's good for you. A lot of sugar, a lot of salt.

[Morgan]

There's skinny margaritas, so you can always have a skinny mark.

[Eddie]

Nah, I like the house. That's. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I'm like, give me your house margarita. Like how you would make it.

[Morgan]

I can't have those anymore because I'm allergic to agave. It's dumb, really.

[Eddie]

But that's. But see, agave is. Is one of those unique things where it's not in a Lot of things.

[Morgan]

I know, but it's in margaritas, and I love a margarita.

[Eddie]

You can do a margarita without agave.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I've tried. It's just not the same, you know, not the same experience.

[Eddie]

I'm sorry.

[Morgan]

But let me tell you why I think margarita.

[Eddie]

Go ahead.

[Morgan]

Because I think my voice has a little salt to it, a little saltiness. I think my voice has a little bit of spice sometimes. And I also think my voice can also be sweet. Like, I can have these tones where I can be sarcastic or sassy or normal. And I feel like a margarita is very much like that. Like, I'm very animated with my voice, so I feel like a margarita is very flexible and does a lot of that different. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

That's very interesting. I. I think it's interesting that you took. I think that you're trying to say your voice, as in, like, the things you say.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's kind of the route I took, because I wasn't sure, because I was thinking, like, flavor is like a taste.

[Eddie]

So how do I. I like it. I like it because you're like. You are a little salty. You are a little sweet. Get that. But that's not where I took flavor. That's not where I took voice. I didn't take voice in that direction.

[Morgan]

Well, you could also say I'm a sour patch kid, because that is something that people call me. Like, I'm a sour patch kid. You never know what you're going to get.

[Eddie]

Yes, yes. But. But what about your voice, though? The sound of your voice, like, you have a little gargle to you.

[Morgan]

Stupid thyroid.

[Eddie]

Right. But your voice always has a little gargle to it, but not always.

[Morgan]

Not right now.

[Eddie]

No, you're right. You're right. But, like, so. So your actual texture of your voice, if that was a flavor, what would it be? Guacamole.

[Morgan]

Guacamole or guacamole cinnamon twist? Did you ever know that chant?

[Eddie]

Nah, never heard that.

[Morgan]

Guacamole. Taco Bell. Guacamole cinnamon twist.

[Eddie]

Sounds racist.

[Morgan]

Is it literally about taco.

[Eddie]

I'm joking. Is that a Taco Bell commercial?

[Morgan]

No, we used to do it at cheer camp.

[Eddie]

Okay. And that's exactly why I've never heard it.

[Morgan]

I didn't know if it was something that, like, they pulled from somewhere else. Don't ask me why we're talking about Taco Bell at cheer camp.

[Eddie]

You love Taco Bell, though.

[Morgan]

I do. I love Taco Bell. But I. I don't know my flavor. I really Went a different direction. I thought Margarita is kind of a flavor.

[Eddie]

I do like it. It is a flavor. Margarita is a flavor.

[Morgan]

I feel like it's margarita.

[Eddie]

I. I like that question. That's my favorite question so far.

[Morgan]

Well, we have another kind of fun one. We'll brainstorm. If you guys had a mascot for the station, what would it be? Kristen Texas.

[Eddie]

For, like, our. For the radio show?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think for, like, us on the show. What would our mascot be?

[Eddie]

Man, that's a tough question.

[Morgan]

I know.

[Eddie]

Would it. Would it be a thing? Like, a thing. Like, would it be a thing in our studio?

[Morgan]

Mascots, a thing.

[Eddie]

No, but, like, a mascot could be, like, a horse, you know, like. Or, like. But. Or is it like an Arkansas helmet? Because it's, like, always in our studio. It's always there, you know? It's just always there. Like, what else?

[Morgan]

What about, like, a red blob?

[Eddie]

Because that's just. We're all red.

[Morgan]

Well, I'm looking in the studio, and there's so much red. Yeah, whatever it would be. Would have to be the color red.

[Eddie]

What about, like, just Bobby? Because, like, the glasses.

[Morgan]

Like, red glasses.

[Eddie]

Like, red glasses would be our mascot.

[Morgan]

That's kind of a lame mascot on our part.

[Eddie]

I know. That's a tough one. Like, lunchbox. Would he be your mascot? We are the Fighting Lunchboxes.

[Morgan]

A fighting red lunchbox.

[Eddie]

And he's red because he's mad all the time. That's what it is. Yeah. I don't know. That's a tough one. I don't know. What? I don't know.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, as we ask the other questions and stuff and move on, we'll see if we can come up with anything by the end.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Okay, let's take a quick break real quick, and we'll start to go through the others.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

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. He texted, I've ruined our lives.

[Eddie]

You're going to want to divorce me.

[Morgan]

Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.

[Eddie]

She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing. No.

[Morgan]

How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done? You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward.

[Eddie]

Allegations in the future.

[Morgan]

This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him questioning everything they thought they knew. Listen to betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Eddie]

Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

[Morgan]

She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero. She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people. Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.

[Eddie]

I remember sitting on her couch and asking her, is this real? Is this real?

[Morgan]

Is this real?

[Eddie]

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.

[Morgan]

This is a story all about trust and about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh. I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?

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?

[Eddie]

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.

[Morgan]

What does it mean to leave behind a music legacy for your family?

[Eddie]

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.

[Morgan]

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. Tracy in Washington wants to know if you miss having your hair and do you wish you cut it sooner?

[Eddie]

Tracy? Good question. Nah, I don't miss it. I don't miss it. It's been a while since I've been able to do anything with my hair, and I definitely don't miss going to get my hair cut, which is just a pain, right? Like, oh, I gotta get my haircut this week. Like, whatever. The fact that I can just shave it off in five minutes is pretty cool. And you know what, Morgan? What's awesome is I can do it all by myself now. When I first started, I'd always had to call my wife or my son and be like, hey, will you check the back of my head?

[Morgan]

You've gotten down to your routine, so you know, I gotta do it.

[Eddie]

I got a mirror, A mirror that.

[Morgan]

You hold and then you shave the back of your head.

[Eddie]

Yeah, A little hand mirror.

[Morgan]

That's impressive talent.

[Eddie]

Pretty cool. I, I, I mean, I gotta say, I'm pretty Proud of myself that I can do that now. And I. It's out of. I would say out of 10 times, only one time my wife was like, ooh, you missed a spot. And it was, like, tiny, but for the most part, I got it down.

[Morgan]

Listen, Eddie, that's impressive, because when I shave my legs, I always miss a spot, and I can look right at him.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's normal. No, but. But the back of your leg, you really can't see well, no, but, like.

[Morgan]

You'Re definitely easier to see it than the back of your head. You literally can't turn your head around and look at the back of your head.

[Eddie]

I know, I know. But what's crazy, too, Morgan, is that, like, you try to do it in the mirror, because you look at your big mirror, and you look through your big mirror to the small hand mirror, and that's how you see it. So it's two layers, right. You look straight to the bathroom mirror, and you're seeing the reflection of your hand mirror.

[Morgan]

Yeah. That's.

[Eddie]

Which, like, if you think about it, you're doing double backwards. So, like, if I need to see the right side of my head, you got to move down. I don't know. I don't even know how to describe it, but. But it's so hard to, like, make your hand move that way.

[Morgan]

No, listen, it's impressive. You don't have to explain it twice to me, because I know that that's impressive as much as someone who does her hair. And you have to have multiple different areas of how you maneuver your hands. I get it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I get what you're trying to say.

[Eddie]

And Scuba Steve gave me some little tips on, like, there's a spray after. Like, an aftershave spray. Oh, eucalyptus aftershave spray.

[Morgan]

Spray it all over your head.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. And it's soothing, and it's, like, cools your head down. And then once you're ready to leave, you get a little. Like, there's a lotion. Put a little lotion on it, and then you kind of lather up your head. It's a whole process, which is bald head care. I had no idea you had to do all that stuff.

[Morgan]

Well, it makes sense because you're, like, exposed to the elements.

[Eddie]

Correct. And you're. You're actually. You're. The skin in your head dries. Like, your scalp dries a little bit, and sometimes it can get flaky, so you got to keep it moisturized. You're laughing at me, Morgan, but I truly had no idea that this existed. And Scuba Steve was like, bro, bro, bro, bro. Like, you're a rookie. You gotta. You gotta buy. You buy this, buy that. He sent me a text with everything that I had to buy.

[Morgan]

I'm not laughing at you in your head and your new care. That's not it. I'm laughing because I'm, like, picturing you and Scuba having this conversation of, like, bald head care. And it's just funny. It just made me giggle.

[Eddie]

Scuba and I have had some deep conversations. Like, Scuba, in a weird way, is like a brother to me, where, you know, we can talk about everything. Parenting. One time, we were both having a really, really bad day at work. And. Oh, my. I'm not gonna say I can't talk.

[Morgan]

You can't do that twice, Eddie. You have to say it.

[Eddie]

This is so. I'm not even saying it's embarrassing, but we both cried.

[Morgan]

That's not embarrassing. And that's cool that you.

[Eddie]

But I don't know.

[Morgan]

An outlet.

[Eddie]

But I don't know if he wanted. He wanted me to say that.

[Morgan]

Has cried the best bits with me before.

[Eddie]

He has.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You all have.

[Eddie]

Actually, I haven't cried.

[Morgan]

I have. So it's fine. We all have. We've had moments.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We, like, we're just talking about stuff, and then we both just, like, hugged each other and cried. It was so. So. Yeah. But since then, we've. We've been like, next level friends.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You're bonded. You're cry bonded.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So I have no. I have no problem hitting him up and being like, help me with my head. We're close.

[Morgan]

I love that for you guys. And I'm proud of you, because that's a friend. Eddie, look at you go.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, it's really cool.

[Morgan]

Are you still doing diamond art? I started because of him. Kathy in Florida.

[Eddie]

Kathy, you know what's like, I love diamond art. I really do. The problem is I did, like, six diamond art pieces, and now I'm like, what do I do with these? And so it's not so much about, like, doing the diamond art, which I love. And I think it's very therapeutic. And it's one of my favorite things to do. Just sit there and do diamond art. But afterwards, like, my. I'm not gonna put them up in my house. Like, they're not that cool looking. And then for the, like, you know, it's a Dallas Cowboys helmet.

[Morgan]

Like, also, you. You have your wife, who is an actual artist. She'd correct you put that on the wall next to hers, and she'd be like, no.

[Eddie]

Get that crap out of here. But, like, I. Yes. I haven't done one in a while. And I had a whole. I still have a whole kit with a bunch of different colors. And I probably have, like, six or seven that I have not done that are still sitting in my office. Also, too, my eyesight has gone wayward. Like, my nearsightedness.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Is like, is. It's gone. Like, it's. It's slow. I'd say in the last, like, year, it's gone from like, oh, I gotta squint a little bit to, like. I can't see crap. Anything that's, like, you know, I don't know, elbows away from my eye. Does that make sense?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, anything that. That's. Anything that's that close, I can't see it at all. So I have to wear reading glasses to do diamond art. And if I have reading glasses for more than, like, 10 minutes on, I start getting dizzy.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And that's not as fun anymore, you know, Becomes like, you. Your head hurts and. Because wearing glasses is just you. Your head hurts after a course of time.

[Eddie]

Correct. So that's kind of what I'm dealing with with the diamond art. And so I've taken a little break. But I do love it. I think it's so cool.

[Morgan]

You gifted me one, too. And I did one one time. I did have fun doing it. It was very therapeutic for me.

[Eddie]

Do you want another one? I have another one.

[Morgan]

No, I'm okay. It was fun for that one time. I don't even have time to put the chair together, Eddie.

[Eddie]

I know. No, that's not true. That's not true. You do have time to put the chair together. You just. You. You chalk that down as a loss, and you're moving on. And I understand that's true.

[Morgan]

I. I prioritize many other things besides the chair and also diamond art.

[Eddie]

Because if you wanted that chair and to finish it, I know that you would do it.

[Morgan]

That is true. I would. I just don't. So you are correct.

[Eddie]

So. And while we're talking about it, get it out of the office.

[Morgan]

It wasn't mine.

[Eddie]

To me, it's still there. And somebody hid it behind that pillar. And they think that, like, oh, behind the pillar. Out of sight, out of mind. No, that's not true. We see it every day. Like, get rid of it.

[Morgan]

The problem is, I actually was going to go to the other day and finish it because I was like, okay, I'm just. Get this out of here. And I don't think I can find all the pieces anymore.

[Eddie]

And all the stripped screws.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, I don't know. So I might. I might bring my boyfriend up here one time and be like, hey, can you help me finish this so we can just get it out of here?

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh, you need a man to come help you finish it? I got you.

[Morgan]

I just don't want to do it, Eddie. I. Listen, now that he's part of my life, I'm like, I'm succeeding in a lot of things. And I'm like, okay, yeah, you can do it. I don't care.

[Eddie]

That's what you do.

[Morgan]

You know, you let go of some things when you.

[Eddie]

I get it. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay, we're going to end on this. It was. I believe his name was Tom. I don't know. It's not showing up on my thing now, but he had. Eddie, I want you to name your top five rock songs. And Morgan, I want you to name your top five 2000 pop songs.

[Eddie]

So mine are rock songs of all time.

[Morgan]

Yeah, your top five.

[Eddie]

Ooh.

[Morgan]

I know this is hard. I didn't give you, like, a.

[Eddie]

You know, this is so hard. Tom, if that's your real name, man, this is tough.

[Morgan]

And to be fair, since I didn't give you. I also didn't. I'm literally just thinking about it right now, so just know that I didn't have time either.

[Eddie]

Oh, man, this is tough. And I know I'm gonna say something stupid because the first one that came to my. My mind was A Sweet Child of Mine. Oh, you know that one?

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. I played that on Guitar Hero.

[Eddie]

Okay. Yeah, yeah. Guns N Roses rock songs.

[Morgan]

I know is because of Guitar Heroes. Please continue.

[Eddie]

You know, that's. That's pretty popular among, like, young women because, like, they really wouldn't know rock songs, really, unless their dads listen to them. You listen to it, you know?

[Morgan]

Yeah, my dad did not.

[Eddie]

What did your dad listen to? Oh, he listens to country. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

My Maria, Sweet child of mine. I gotta go older, like, classic classic rock. And I'm going to do Sweet Home Alabama. Wow. Two sweets. Pour some sugar on me.

[Morgan]

A lot of sweets.

[Eddie]

I mean, really has to. Has. Has to do with sweets. I gotta throw a Pearl Jam song in there. I will throw.

[Morgan]

You don't have to, you know.

[Eddie]

Yes, I do. Yes, I do. Yes, I do. And. And I would like to talk to you. Pause this bit for a second. I would like to talk to you about that. What? Like, I want to know what you listen to.

[Morgan]

You just went into Full dad mode. Just by the way you like. You flipp switch. And you're like, I'm gonna talk to you about this.

[Eddie]

Sit down for a second, Morgan. I want to talk to you about this. What songs that. Because you're like, I deserve to listen to Pearl Jam. I listened to. You probably listened to two seconds of a song and said, it's not for me.

[Morgan]

That's actually.

[Eddie]

What did you listen?

[Morgan]

True.

[Eddie]

What did you.

[Morgan]

I listened to five different songs because I wanted a sample size all the way through. Yes. And I felt like that's a decent sample size.

[Eddie]

And it's not fair. You probably did the old stuff. You probably did Evenflo Jeremy Alive.

[Morgan]

Okay. What do you mean, the old stuff? The old stuff is most of the things that people are known for.

[Eddie]

That's true. But. But there's a whole other side of Pearl Jam that's a lot softer and a lot more thought out.

[Morgan]

Okay. I'm gonna tell you, the five that I listened to.

[Eddie]

You didn't listen. You definitely didn't listen to Better Man. You didn't listen to Daughter.

[Morgan]

That's actually not true because I did their top 10 songs is what I pulled from.

[Eddie]

And you only listened to five, though.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And I'm gonna tell you which ones because I took them from different albums.

[Eddie]

Go ahead.

[Morgan]

I was trying. I told you sample size. I did do Even flow.

[Eddie]

Yeah. See, I would tell you immediately. You won't like that.

[Morgan]

I did Last Kiss.

[Eddie]

I mean, that's. It's a cover. I would. I wouldn't have given that to you.

[Morgan]

I did Yellow Lead better.

[Eddie]

You didn't like Yellow Lead better?

[Morgan]

Nope.

[Eddie]

That to me would have been one of my first to give to you. Okay.

[Morgan]

I did Just breathe.

[Eddie]

As I understand everybody throws in. Do you remember when Dirk Spanley came in and played that for us?

[Morgan]

Yeah. And I liked it when he did it.

[Eddie]

Okay. See, that's messed up. Next.

[Morgan]

And then I did do Better, man. Those are the five I did.

[Eddie]

And you literally just thought they sucked. Like it wasn't for you.

[Morgan]

It wasn't like they sucked. Like, I. I was trying to give you a hard time. I just wasn't a fan. Like, it's not something I'm going to go back and listen to and put on my playlist or have in my rotation.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Morgan]

And I just also. I'm just not a huge. I shouldn't say not rock. I just like more of the upbeat, vibey type songs. And Pearl Jim just really isn't in that category in general.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Would you disagree yeah. You think they're upbeat and vibey? Yeah, we have different. Different terms of upbeat and 5E.

[Eddie]

I mean, vibey, like. Yes. It's not like, look at me, I'm having fun. Not that. But I mean, it's upbeat and it's like high energy and definitely produces a vibe.

[Morgan]

You know? I guess we just have different vibes.

[Eddie]

I mean, you triggered me, man, when you said that.

[Morgan]

I knew, but it was because I tried, though, Eddie.

[Eddie]

No, but it's not even that. It's not even that. You were like. The. The bit was like, find an underrated band or an overrated band. And, like, out of all the bands in the whole wide world, you picked my favorite one and trashed him.

[Morgan]

It was the only.

[Eddie]

In front of my eyes.

[Morgan]

It was the only thing that was front of mind because I genuinely went to listen because you always talked about him.

[Eddie]

So sad.

[Morgan]

I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

It's okay.

[Morgan]

I'm very sorry.

[Eddie]

That's all right.

[Morgan]

Okay, wait, so did you do your five songs?

[Eddie]

I don't know. I don't know.

[Morgan]

You backtrack so hard.

[Eddie]

Sweet Child of Mine, Home Sweet Alabama, Pour Some Sugar on Me, The Joker by Steve Miller Band and then I need one more. Oh, oh, and I did Pearl Jam. I could throw a Pearl Jam one in there. Okay, I'll do. Man. I'll do a live alive. There you go. That wraps my file.

[Morgan]

That's alive.

[Eddie]

I'm still alive.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I don't think I know that one either.

[Eddie]

You didn't listen on the sample size.

[Morgan]

I don't think that was some of my sample size.

[Eddie]

What's your favorite band? Who's your favorite band of all time?

[Morgan]

Favorite band of all time or artist?

[Eddie]

Artist. Whatever.

[Morgan]

I mean, I feel like my favorite artist of all time is Shania.

[Eddie]

Boom. Overrated.

[Morgan]

You know that's not true.

[Eddie]

Overrated. Next.

[Morgan]

Okay, you want my five top five? 2,000 songs.

[Eddie]

Not really, but go ahead.

[Morgan]

Definitely Stacy's mom.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Morgan]

I mean, yeah.

[Eddie]

That's a jam.

[Morgan]

It was an iconic moment in time. Toxic by Britney Spears. Like, these are all just very, like, massive pop culture moments that I remember. Okay, we've got skater boy.

[Eddie]

Avril Lavanda's a skater boy.

[Morgan]

She said, see you later, boy. Yep. It wasn't me. Shaggy.

[Eddie]

That's a jam. And then I saw it on camera. It wasn't me.

[Morgan]

I still sing that song to this day. Like, randomly. I'll be like, it wasn't me.

[Eddie]

That's a good one, Morgan.

[Morgan]

That's a good one. And then I'm trying to decide between my last one because here's. Here's my four options. You can only place my last one. I have A Thousand Miles by Vanessa.

[Eddie]

Carlton, One of my favorites.

[Morgan]

I have hey Ya by outkast. I have yeah. By Usher or Bye bye, bye bye, NSync.

[Eddie]

I'll go. Vanessa Carlton.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Making my way downtown.

[Morgan]

Hometown.

[Eddie]

I love that. That song is so good. I shouldn't love it that much, but it's so good.

[Morgan]

No, I'm probably gonna go listen to these now.

[Eddie]

It's in a commercial. I. I like. It came on TV the other day.

[Morgan]

And I need you.

[Eddie]

So good.

[Morgan]
