Main Theme / Purpose

This episode features a listener Q&A session with Eddie (a show regular) and Morgan, diving into Eddie's favorite foods to make, his Thanksgiving and Christmas family traditions, his devotion to the Dallas Cowboys, and fun hypotheticals such as choosing a different NFL team for $5 million and dreaming up his own food truck. The conversation is warm, personal, and sprinkled with holiday spirit, humorous childhood stories, and sports fandom.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Listener Shoutouts & Fan Mail

• Morgan opens by relaying fan messages for Eddie, mostly from enthusiastic listeners and Cowboys fans.
• (03:07) “Go Cowboys.” — Dee from Austin
• Playful banter about show favorites, with Eddie joking that Amy is "mostly" a hater, not Morgan.

---

Eddie’s Favorite Food to Make (Besides Salsa)

• (03:47) Favorite Dish: Fajitas (“That’s my go-to... probably just because my dad used to make them.”)
• Eddie shares that grilling, especially fajitas, was a central part of his childhood and family gatherings.
• Weekend barbecues were a ritual; everyone brought something (beer, chips, meat), and his dad would grill for hours — part cooking, part enjoying downtime.
  • Nostalgic detail: “My dad would cook for hours, and it would be a three-hour process... he'd just love sitting out there drinking beer and grilling.” (05:50)
• He describes cleaning the grill with an onion, a practice passed down from his father.
  • (06:45) “You scrape it with a brush, then you kind of sanitize it with an onion.”

---

Thanksgiving Traditions & Family Sides

• Eddie delegates sides to his wife and mom; his mom’s homemade stuffing (not from a box) is a family heirloom recipe.
  • (07:28) “You toast bread, crumble it... every ingredient is homemade.”
• Thanksgiving plates are carb-heavy: mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, green bean casserole, rolls, stuffing, and turkey (which is Eddie’s responsibility, now fried instead of baked).
• Fun contrast with Morgan’s family—ham is the main dish, and side dishes vary; she introduces Eddie to corn pudding/casserole.
  • (09:50) Eddie: “Never had corn pudding, but I’ve had creamed corn. Is it the same thing?”
  • Morgan: “No... it’s made with cornbread and corn and creamed corn... all mixed and you bake it.”

---

NFL Talk: Favorite Cowboys Player & Athletes’ Attitudes

• All-time favorite Cowboys player: Emmitt Smith, 90s running back and all-time rushing record holder.
  • (11:49) Eddie: “It’s hard to beat Emmitt Smith... still has the all-time rushing record.”
• Eddie recently met Emmitt Smith at the Super Bowl, and was surprised by his kindness:
  • (12:36) “He was nicer than I thought. No need for him to be nice... but he was.”
• Discussion of other players’ demeanors (Deion Sanders, also nice), and experiences with less friendly baseball players during Eddie’s news career.
• Morgan reveals her favorite player is Darnell Washington (Pittsburgh Steelers), sharing her increasing fandom and even betting on him to score a touchdown.
  • (14:54) Morgan: “If you hear me watch the game, I’m like, ‘Give the ball to DW!’”

---

Christmas Traditions, Ornaments, and Trees

• Eddie’s family does the “pickle” ornament tradition; his mom sends quirky ornaments like a Hidden Valley Ranch bottle or a Cowboys helmet.
  • (23:03) “My mom is big on ornaments... she sent, like, a bottle of ranch dressing.”
• Tree debate: Morgan has FOUR Christmas trees, each with a theme (including a Harry Potter tree, complete with train).
  • (23:55) Morgan: “Anywhere a tree can go, there’s a tree.”
• Eddie is amazed — his family only has one. He loves the idea of a themed “mom’s ornament” tree.
• Real vs. artificial trees: Both now have artificial ones for convenience; Morgan recalls a childhood cat toppling the “real” tree.
• Eddie’s hack: leaves ornaments on the artificial tree when packed away!
  • (28:09) Eddie: “We leave all the ornaments on the tree and we put it in the box... life changing.”
  • Morgan: “I don’t think I can do it. My OCD wouldn’t let me.”

---

Hypothetical: For $5 Million, Pick a New NFL Team

• (21:03) If he had to give up the Cowboys, Eddie would choose the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • (21:12) Eddie: “There’s something about the Chiefs where, like, I can watch them and not hate them... I don’t mind Travis Kelce… I love Taylor Swift!”
  • Mahomes’ voice “drives me a little crazy;” otherwise, he respects and enjoys the team.
  • Jokes he’d be a “sellout” for $5M, but everyone would do it.

---

Food Truck Dream: “Producer Eddie Smoked Chicken Man”

• (28:50) Eddie’s ideal food truck/restaurant would be based on “smoked chicken”—offering quarters, pieces, or sandwiches.
  • Eddie: “The smoker would be going outside the truck at all times. People’d just smell the smoke...”
• He’d use his “Producer Eddie” show brand for recognition.
• Discusses the power of enticing food smells for drawing customers, referencing a local (possibly Germantown) BBQ truck and the mystery of its perpetual closed-ness-smoked pit.
• Side story: Eddie finally tries a local Thai place and the server experience is hilariously odd—first mute (from mouthwash), then chatty—a memorable Nashville dining anecdote.
  • (32:38) Eddie: “She goes, Oh, I didn’t explain. I had numbing mouthwash in my mouth and I couldn’t spit it out...”

If anyone has ever said you snored loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability, and concentration issues, it may be due to osa.

[Eddie]

Thank you, Anne.

[Morgan]

Eddie's my fave and everyone else's haters. Sarah in Idaho. I'd like to point out I've never been a hater of Eddie. You've never been a hater, so I'm not a hater.

[Eddie]

Yes. It's mostly Amy, but yeah, Morgan and.

[Morgan]

Eddie are my favorites. That's from Sherry in Marilyn. So now time for questions.

[Eddie]

All right, let's do it.

[Morgan]

Hard hitting questions. Besides salsa, what is Eddie's favorite thing to make?

[Eddie]

Kayla in Missouri, my favorite thing to make is fajitas. I mean, that's my go to.

[Morgan]

Like your bread and butter.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I think it's probably just because my dad used to make them. So I've just been around that smell my entire life of like grilling, making fajitas, eating tacos. Like, it's just part of my childhood, really.

[Morgan]

And it reminds you of your family, I would imagine too. It's one of those nostalgia things.

[Eddie]

I don't know how you grew up, but I grew up with grilling was part of every weekend. Sometimes like every night. You know, like, my dad probably grilled about four days out of the week.

[Morgan]

Maybe that was the big grilling boom. I feel like grilling is still popular, but I feel like there was certainly a grilling boom where everybody had one and it's what everybody did.

[Eddie]

But I don't know because I don't think it was a boom. It's just what he did all the time.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And like, that's what everyone did. My uncles, if there was a get together, everyone was grilling. Like if you were going to a party, for example, like, my uncle's throwing a party. Morgan, you're bringing the beer. I'm bringing the meat. Lunchboxes, bringing in the chips and salsa. Like, and that's how you'd go to the party. And then whoever was hosting it had the grill and had the fire going. Did you bring the meat? Yes. Here you Go, boom. And then they just cook it.

[Morgan]

Okay, so is this a culture thing too?

[Eddie]

Maybe.

[Morgan]

That's also part of this.

[Eddie]

Big time, Big time. And my dad, like, not party. It was just be a regular day. I get home from, like, school or something or work or whatever. And he was already. Already outside, like, the grill, the barbecue pit was already smoking. And he'd be sitting down, and it wouldn't take him like, 30 minutes to grill, which is crazy. Like, I remember when I went to college and seeing, like, people like, hey, we're gonna grill burgers or whatever, and they would be done in like 10, 15 minutes. I'd be like, what are you doing? Like, because my dad would cook for hours, and it would be a three hour process. And you'd go out there and be like, is it ready, dad? Like, no, not yet. And be like, it's been three hours, dad.

[Morgan]

You think he's messing with you guys?

[Eddie]

No, because he would just. He just loves sitting out there drinking beer and grilling and whatever.

[Morgan]

Maybe he was getting some alone time. And so that process might have been a little stretch.

[Eddie]

That was probably it too. Yeah. So it's just part of, like, me growing up.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I love that. But that's a cool thing to have a reminder of growing up and then you get to use it with your own family. Yeah, that's cool.

[Eddie]

Although none of my kids have asked me to, like, you know, teach them.

[Morgan]

Yet, which I'm surprised you haven't forcibly taught them.

[Eddie]

I don't really want to do that. I kind of like, they love eating it. Don't get me wrong. They're always just like, oh, can I have a piece? Can I have a piece? And like, is it ready? Kind of like what I did when I was a kid. So I don't know if my dad ever taught me.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. Did your dad teach you?

[Eddie]

Not really. Like, he would make me clean the barbecue pit.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Like, before, like, you know, get all that old charcoal, all the ashes out of there first, and then kind of like get an onion, Start the fire, and then get an onion and clean the grill. It was almost like I was the sous.

[Morgan]

You do really clean the grill with an onion?

[Eddie]

Yeah. You scrape it with, like, a aluminum brush.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And just to get all that grime off from whatever you cooked before. And then you get an onion, and you kind of just sanitize it with an onion.

[Morgan]

That's funny. I always saw onion and being used to clean grills online, and I thought it was AI or not real, because, like, somebody was messing with me. Because who cleans with an onion?

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's so real. That's why I still do it.

[Morgan]

That's crazy. Okay, who makes the sides for Thanksgiving since you make the turkey?

[Eddie]

My wife and my mom. And. Okay, so this year my sister was in town, so she. She helped a little, but my mom does the stuffing. It's just, it's been a recipe in our family for so long that she's.

[Morgan]

So it's not the box stuffing?

[Eddie]

No, no, no. You toast, like, bread.

[Morgan]

Every ingredient is homemade.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You have to toast the bread and then you have to crumble it in little crumbs and then throw the prunes in there and chop all the olives or whatever is in there. I don't. I've never learned how to do that. But they do it, like by hand. All of it.

[Morgan]

Wow. Okay. Do you love the stuffing then? Since it's a love it sound family recipe?

[Eddie]

I love it. Although this year I felt like.

I'm not like using the word stuffing, but like, I felt stuffed to where. Like, I didn't want to eat much after the dinner. After we had like, you know, dinner at 2:00 clock or whatever. Thanksgiving meal. I never really wanted to eat anything else again for like, till the next day, really.

[Morgan]

Which is like, Never had seconds.

[Eddie]

No. Which is like, always like, oh, I'm hungry after the football game. Like, I'm hungry for some more. And this year I was just like, I'm just. I'm stuffed.

[Morgan]

Like, don't really want a better eating track lately.

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

So it might have just been a.

[Eddie]

Maybe it was just like, everything was so, like. I mean, but you look at your plate, right? It's like mashed potatoes, all carbs, Mac and cheese, all carbs, stuffing, all carbs. You know, like the rolls. All carbs.

[Morgan]

Yeah. What are all of the sides? Because this is what I've realized is people have different sides.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

There are some that are consistent for everybody. But what are your guys? All your sides.

[Eddie]

So when it's my family, it's always green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and the turkey is the meal. And then cranberry, which I never. I don't eat that.

[Morgan]

Okay. Okay. So we don't even do a turkey. We do ham.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Morgan]

Which I don't eat. So we don't have turkey or gravy.

[Eddie]

And nobody, your mom, your dad, nobody wants it.

[Morgan]

No, they all want ham. It's also easier. So it doesn't Require. And especially we do it at my house. I don't have a grill or anything.

[Eddie]

Do your sisters eat meat?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, everybody does. So then we do. We have a sweet potato casserole. We have a green bean casserole. We have deviled eggs. We have a regular potato casserole. So not mashed potatoes. We do regular potato crust.

[Eddie]

What's in there?

[Morgan]

It's like hash browns with cheese and sour cream, and it's topped with, like, crispy flakes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's good.

[Morgan]

And you bake it and then rolls and stuffing, so see how different. Oh, and corn casserole. That's been a new addition since I've lived in the South.

[Eddie]

Corn.

[Morgan]

Like corn pudding?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Have you ever had that?

[Eddie]

Never had corn pudding, but I've had creamed corn. Is it the same thing?

[Morgan]

No. Okay, so corn pudding is made with, like, cornbread and corn and creamed corn.

[Eddie]

Never done that.

[Morgan]

All mixed and you bake it. It's also. You add, like, sour cream and butter and stuff to it.

[Eddie]

That sounds delicious.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you would love.

[Eddie]

This is really good.

[Morgan]

Really popular in the South. I only knew about it starting, like, two or three years ago now. I make it all the time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, sounds good.

[Morgan]

We have a lot more sides than you guys do.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we're pretty. Pretty easy on the sides.

[Morgan]

Turkey is your. As main dish.

[Eddie]

Turkey. I mean, turkey is my responsibility. It's been my responsibility for the last, like, I don't know, eight years.

[Morgan]

Are you waking up at 6am to do it now?

[Eddie]

When you fry a turkey, it usually takes about an hour and a half to do it.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's a lot better than having to cook, I guess, typically in the oven. Have to put it in the oven. And it starts at, like, 6am and every hour or something.

[Eddie]

Yes. And you always want to dribble it with, like, you know, some of the juices or whatever to keep it moist. But, like, when you fry a turkey, you don't do any of that.

[Morgan]

It only takes about an hour and a half. So it's pretty fun.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. What's cool is putting it in there and hearing all the bubbles and the sizzling. So good.

[Morgan]

That's what's really fun in general about Thanksgiving, because I don't know about you, but our oven is, like, stuffed full with everything, and everything's just going everywhere. And you have all the smells. A combination of everything.

[Eddie]

That's what my mom was saying was, like, good to fry a turkey because, like, it leaves the oven for everything else because that becomes a Thing, Right. Like a war of like everyone trying to make sides. Like, I need the oven. Well, I'm not done with the oven.

[Morgan]

Yep, that's exactly what happens. You should have seen mine this year. We made so many that it was like stuffed on every level. And I was like, hopefully it all cooks. We're gonna find out. That was from Ashley in Louisiana. Who is your favorite Cowboys player? This is from Paula and Austin, like all time.

[Eddie]

Like, I'll let you. All time, all time favorite Dallas Cowboys player for me, because I imagine it.

[Morgan]

Changes year to year. Who you like on the team.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I mean now currently, you know, like, you have the players that you like or whatever, but all time, I think it's hard to beat. Emmett Smith is probably my favorite. He was the running back.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And he was really good. And he still has the all time rushing record, I think season record for like the most yards.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

So, like, he was really good.

[Morgan]

When did he play? What years?

[Eddie]

In the 90s.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

He played in the 90s.

[Morgan]

He's still pretty popular. He still does stuff.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like he's in commercials still. He won Dancing with the Stars. I believe that's him.

[Morgan]

Was he on the same time when Bobby was.

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

Did Bobby just. Who was the football player that was on with Bobby? Wasn't there a football player or an athlete?

[Eddie]

I think that there was, but I don't remember. I know that he met Emmett Smith because Emmett Smith came, you know, like one episode or whatever.

[Morgan]

That might be what I'm thinking.

[Eddie]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I do.

[Morgan]

But you haven't met him.

[Eddie]

I've never met Emma Smith. Oh, no. I met Emma Smith last year.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

At the Super Bowl.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Because Mike posted a video of him.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Was it cool?

[Eddie]

It was amazing. Yes.

[Morgan]

Was he as nice or like, worse than you thought?

[Eddie]

Nicer. Nicer than I thought. No need for him to be nice. Like football players, I feel like they. They don't really go out of their way to be nice. Like, they don't. Like, they just. They're athletes and they're good at what they do. They. They don't feel. I think there are a few that feel like they need to be kind of over the. Be nice to their fans or whatever. But like, most of them don't really care. Like, like me, hate me. And there's so many critiques of their. Of their work where they probably have just like a thick skin against all their fans that are just like, whatever, man.

[Morgan]

Like, brush it all off.

[Eddie]

I play for me, you know, they.

[Morgan]

Get a big paycheck. They don't have to worry about it.

[Eddie]

I play for me.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And God, you know, like. But they don't really. Don't go out of their way to be nice. Emmett Smith was very nice. Deion Sanders, very nice.

[Morgan]

Is there any that have been really mean? Can you say mean or just. I. Maybe the more so thing is not warm. Because not warm doesn't indicate they're mean. It's just maybe they're not super fan friendly.

[Eddie]

I mean, I saw some baseball players back in the day. Like, I remember I covered the World Series, like, back when I worked in news, like, 2003, I think. And, like, the baseball players weren't overly friendly. Like, they're kind of just whatever.

There was one in particular that played for the Rangers that was not nice. But he doesn't have the. He didn't have the reputation of being nice.

[Morgan]

So you expected it?

[Eddie]

Yeah, he was just kind of like.

[Morgan]

That makes it easier.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He kind of like. Yeah, I expected that from him. So that's how he is.

[Morgan]

Okay. That's a good one. I do have. Listen, first year, I have a favorite football player.

[Eddie]

You do? Yeah. Is it a Steeler?

[Morgan]

It is a Steeler, but you're not going to expect this.

[Eddie]

Aaron Rodgers.

[Morgan]

No, I actually don't like him. I'm not a fan. I have a lot of critiques about him.

[Eddie]

Who would it be?

[Morgan]

I don't think you're gonna guess him.

[Eddie]

And what position does he play? Is he offensive defense?

[Morgan]

He's offense.

[Eddie]

He's offense.

[Morgan]

And he's like a kind of an underdog.

[Eddie]

He's a receiver.

[Morgan]

I don't know the exact position. Does he catch the ball sometimes? I don't know, but he's not really supposed to.

[Eddie]

Sometimes he's not supposed to.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Who is it?

[Morgan]

Darnell Washington.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's a receiver.

[Morgan]

He's my favorite because he's so, like, he can just plow through people. And if you hear me watch the game, I'm like, give the ball to DW Give it him.

[Eddie]

Oh, you call him DW now.

[Morgan]

Look at you, DW I even placed my first bet on him.

[Eddie]

Really? And you won? No. What was the bet?

[Morgan]

One time they didn't give him the ball.

[Eddie]

What was the bet? To score a touchdown. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Because he had been. Here's the thing with him. If you give him the ball, he scores a touchdown.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, that's not true.

[Morgan]

Nearly every time. This guy has had a great year.

[Eddie]

I understand. But, Morgan, there are. There Are some players that have better percentages of when you give them the ball, they score a touchdown.

[Morgan]

That's fair.

[Eddie]

And they don't always score a touchdown.

[Morgan]

Okay, that's fair. But if I was looking at statistics from the last games that he had played, he had scored a bunch of touchdowns and nobody expected it.

[Eddie]

Are you watching these games? Like, like really watching?

[Morgan]

Yeah, what else am I going to do for three hours?

[Eddie]

I don't know. My wife just sits there. She's not really watching the game.

[Morgan]

I'll still get on my phone and do other things, but you can bet when dw because I'm paying attention.

[Eddie]

I'm not kidding.

[Morgan]

It's my favorite. Okay, last question before we jump into a break here. Did you hang the outdoor Christmas lights yourself this year? This is Christopher from California. And I don't know this reference. Am I miss seen something?

[Eddie]

Did I not do it last year? I've been looking at signs that like, there are signs all over town that say like, Christmas light installation. I want to be like, how much are they?

[Morgan]

Probably a lot. I think it has a lot of money to do it.

[Eddie]

I know, but like, it's just so cold. Like I haven't done it yet and.

[Morgan]

So wait, didn't you also have a giant.

[Eddie]

Oh yeah, the Santa.

[Morgan]

Is that up?

[Eddie]

No, nothing's out yet.

[Morgan]

That one's easy to put up though.

[Eddie]

Nothing's out yet because it's so cold. And like my wife. My wife wanted to do it last week and I'm like.

I just didn't want to because people were there were home. But like we had family in town. But like now it's freezing and I don't want to be outside like putting up lights because it's so freaking cold.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you see, this is where you just leave them up all year round and then you only turn them on when it's time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but what happens when you plug it in and they don't turn on? That's happened to me before.

[Morgan]

Then you just gotta go find the one light that.

[Eddie]

You gotta find that one light. Are you a one light changer or do you go get a new. Just a new.

[Morgan]

Oh, well, I don't have. My house is like two stories. I don't have a big enough ladder to really put light lights on my house so that I don't worry about you don't do.

[Eddie]

You don't do any lights outside.

[Morgan]

I put some pretty snowflakes. I have my blow up Alfie. A little highland cow with the Santa hat on. I named him Alfie.

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh, he's not like a famous character. No. Got it. Okay.

[Morgan]

This is a blow up.

[Eddie]

And you expected me to know that? Got it. Okay.

[Morgan]

And some little Christmas lights on, like the bushes and stuff. So I do that. But inside for my Christmas trees, those I always throw away, I don't replace them. All right, well, we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back. Did you know Tide has been upgraded.

[Eddie]

[Morgan]

[Eddie]

Just remember, if it's gotta be clean.

[Morgan]

It'S gotta be tied. Hello.

[Eddie]

Hello.

[Morgan]

I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast smart talks with IBM. I recently sat down with IBM's chairman.

[Eddie]

And CEO Arvind Krishna, and I asked.

[Morgan]

Him, how can companies use AI to.

[Eddie]

Its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to them, pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example, if anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today with the goal of being 70% more productive. Yeah. Wow. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did. We are happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process. Because the biggest change is not technology. It's getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

This is gonna be a tough one for you, Eddie, because $5 million is yours right now, but you have to pick a different NFL team. Who are you picking? This is from another Eddie in St. Louis.

[Eddie]

Oh, $5 million is yours, but you.

[Morgan]

Have to choose somebody else besides the Cowboys.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Could you do that in the first place?

[Eddie]

I can do that. I'll pick the Chiefs.

[Morgan]

Okay. Why the Chiefs?

[Eddie]

Because, I don't know, there's something about the Chiefs where, like, I can watch them and not hate them.

[Morgan]

And that's the only team you can watch and not hate.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but they're good, you know, like, they're good. It's rare that there's a team that's really good and that you just don't, like, hate them. Especially when you're a fan of another team.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So. And like, I don't mind Travis Kelsey. Like, I like Travis Kelsey.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you love Taylor Swift.

[Eddie]

I love Taylor Swift. I'm glad. I'm happy they're together. I'm happy they're getting married. All that Mahomes. His voice drives me a little crazy like.

This. That kind of drives me a little nuts. But like, I don't mind the Chiefs and they're super bowl champs. Like, and I don't mind them. I would do that for 5 million. Ooh, that's so hard to say. I feel like a sellout. But dude, 5 million. Everyone would do that.

[Morgan]

I'm pretty sure at $5 million, everyone would become a sellout.

[Eddie]

I know, but I'm such an open cowboys Fan that, like, I think everybody would just hate me for it for sure.

[Morgan]

But you'd be like, hate me? I got $5 million.

[Eddie]

Damn right. Check this out. I got five mil.

[Morgan]

I got swagged. I didn't even have to pay for it. It was like, $1.

[Eddie]

Gosh, 5 million. How cool would that be, right?

[Morgan]

Just hand it to you and say, no more Cowboys. That'd be a weird experience.

[Eddie]

Well, that would be hard. That would be hard. Sundays would be hard. We'll be like. My kids would be like, we're watching the Cowboys. Like, no, we're not, boys. We're watching the Chiefs now.

[Morgan]

They would be so confused.

[Eddie]

They would be confused until one day.

[Morgan]

They'Re an adult and, like, I understand why my dad did that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You know?

[Eddie]

No. All I have to do is tell him 5 million. I think they would all understand.

[Morgan]

Yeah. But I don't know that they would grasp just how much money that is and why.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Morgan]

Versus your love for the Cowboys. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Until you realize, oh, you need a lot of money to be a human.

[Eddie]

And, yeah, you guys are gonna go to college now because I changed. I changed NFL teams.

[Morgan]

That's so cool. What is your family's favorite Christmas tradition? We do have Christmas coming up.

[Eddie]

Our favorite Christmas tradition.

It's so weird. We always do, like, a pickle. Like, my mom. I don't know. My mom is big on ornaments, I guess.

[Morgan]

What kind of specific ornaments?

[Eddie]

Just anytime she sees, like, a cowboy's helmet, you know, she buys it and sends it. That's for your tree. And, like. Oh, cool. But we have, like. There's something about a traditionally dressed tree, right? With, like, the balls and the matching balls and, like, the.

[Morgan]

Was it called an aesthetic tree? Where it. Yeah, yeah. Certain colors, things match.

[Eddie]

But, man, my mom loves to throw some. Like, send us, like. I think she sent, like, a bottle of ranch dressing. You know what I mean? Like, Hidden Valley ranch dressing bottle. And it's like, the size of my hand.

[Morgan]

So do you now have another tree that has all these ornaments on it? No.

[Eddie]

So we have to sprinkle it on the.

[Morgan]

You're telling me you guys only have one tree?

[Eddie]

Yeah. You have more than one tree?

[Morgan]

Four trees.

[Eddie]

What? It's your house. House. Like, your house.

[Morgan]

Anywhere a tree can go, there's a tree.

[Eddie]

Where do you put, like, how.

[Morgan]

Stored in my garage. Because I love Christmas trees. I love Christmas.

[Eddie]

So every room you go into, there's a Christmas tree.

[Morgan]

Yeah. It started where it was just the tree in my living Room, which is the normal one. And then I put. I had to buy a new one when I moved into my house a few years ago because my small apartment one didn't quite work in that living room anymore. So I bought one for the. My bedroom because. Or I bought one from the living room and the one that used to be my part one went into my bedroom. And then this year, with my boyfriend moving in, he had a tree that came with him. But his tree, his poor tree's falling apart. And I was like, that's gonna go out on the deck and we'll put lights on it.

[Eddie]

It'll be cute. It's now an outside tree.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. It's a fake one. But it was. I mean, you know, when they start to shed and I'm like, this. This needs to go outside. We. I'll keep it. And then we bought one together for like our. We created a Harry Potter tree that was our.

[Eddie]

And that's all Harry Potter themed.

[Morgan]

Yeah, completely everything. Even like the ornaments are different houses. And then we got specialty ornaments.

[Eddie]

I didn't know this about you.

[Morgan]

Oh, I love Christmas.

[Eddie]

I know that you love Christmas. I didn't know that you had multiple trees.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Deck it all out. I even got a Harry Potter train that now goes around the bottom of the train too.

[Eddie]

Shot. That's the Harry Potter.

[Morgan]

Harry Potter tree.

[Eddie]

Amazing. Yeah, I'm not gonna judge you for that.

[Morgan]

But this is where you guys should have another tree. Even you can put it in one of the boys rooms. You put it in your guys room. Cause it's cute to have on warm lights.

[Eddie]

I feel like my wife would love that idea.

[Morgan]

And you can put these ornaments on it. And it's your mom's tree. And I think your mom would love it.

[Eddie]

All the ornaments go on.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's like this is mom's tree.

[Eddie]

That. And then, you know, when the kids come home with the crafts or whatever, like macaroni trees or whatever.

[Morgan]

Yep, those could go on there.

[Eddie]

Yeah, all that can go on there. That's not a bad idea.

[Morgan]

And then you still get to have your aesthetic tree, but you also have the fun tree.

[Eddie]

So. So are you all plastic tree artificial.

[Morgan]

Or artificial fake ones? Yeah, I. We had. The reason being is because when I was really, really young, we had a fake, real tree. And we had a cat at the time.

[Eddie]

Caught on fire.

[Morgan]

No.

[Eddie]

Kill the cat. No.

[Morgan]

That would be horrible. I don't think I can even tell that story.

[Eddie]

I don't know where the story's going.

[Morgan]

The cat saw an ornament. Because my cat also loves to play with the ornaments on the bottom of my tree and swat them off.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

That's what cats like to do. This cat, her name was Sai, she jumped up middle of the tree, grabbed on with her claws. The whole tree came down.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Morgan]

And I think there is something to be said about real trees because the smell. Like about outdoors, cats like to climb.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Whereas the artificial trees, they don't smell anything. So they're interested. But not like, I want to climb it.

[Eddie]

I don't really know what that is. It's like, okay, that's not a tree.

[Morgan]

No. They'll just play with the balls that are on it instead. So that's why I remember when it.

[Eddie]

Was like, it was life changing for me when we bought our first artificial.

[Morgan]

Tree because you have to keep throwing it away.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We'd have to go someplace and buy the. You look for trees and then like, oh, man, it's too expensive. And then only have it for a month and then you got to get rid of it somewhere.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like $200 for one of those.

[Eddie]

What?

[Morgan]

A real tree? Oh.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. No, no. They're not cheap. People think they're cheap. They are not cheap.

[Morgan]

And a fake tree costs that. You keep it 10 years.

[Eddie]

Totally. And it's got lights. Are. Does yours have lights built in it?

[Morgan]

No. That's one thing I don't do. Because then they go bad quicker. I've had my tree for like seven years now.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And it's still good because I put lights on it.

[Eddie]

I think I'm on year four of our tree that we bought maybe fourth.

[Morgan]

Year and still has lights and still work.

[Eddie]

Once in a while they flicker. But like. But they don't go out.

[Morgan]

You know, you haven't had to replace any yet.

[Eddie]

Knock on wood.

[Morgan]

Dang. That's lucky.

[Eddie]

Knock on wood. I know, I know. Fourth year of it. But like, it was so, like, life changing when that happened because we always had real trees. Always. You know, people love the experience of like, oh, we're go to the. The Christmas tree farm or whatever and like. Or the parking lot where the tent is and pick out.

[Morgan]

So you don't really get it. Like, you get to pick it out. That's about. It's not. But back in the day, I feel like you could cut it down.

[Eddie]

People still do that. People still do that.

[Morgan]

They still cut it down.

[Eddie]

There are farms. Yeah. That you can go out and like, cut your own tree. But I'm not. Again, I'm not I'm past that. I won't even let my kids know that exists because we're done. And so what's cool, too, is we leave all the ornaments on the. On the tree and we put in the box. What? Yeah, all we do is just fold up the, you know, the limbs put.

[Morgan]

In the box, and they don't break or anything.

[Eddie]

And then when it's Christmas time again, you just pull them out and the ornaments are already on there. Now you'll lose, like, five, you know, five or ten ornaments. You just put them back on.

[Morgan]

That's funny. You don't even take them down.

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. The whole process of taking them down. I put them all back in every box.

[Eddie]

You do. Don't do that. You don't have to do that.

[Morgan]

I don't want to lose any ornaments.

[Eddie]

You won't. They'll all be in the box. I don't.

[Morgan]

I don't. I don't think I can do it. My ocd, I don't think would let me.

[Eddie]

You can't do it.

[Morgan]

It would be like, nope, everything's not in its place, and I have a million boxes.

[Eddie]

Funny. Yeah.

[Morgan]

That's crazy. I didn't know that about you.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Huh.

[Morgan]

Okay. Good Christmas traditions.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Good stuff.

[Morgan]

You opened a restaurant or a food truck. What's the name and signature dish? This is from Elle in Virginia.

[Eddie]

Restaurant or a food truck. Man, I would love to do chicken. I mean that ideally, I would love to do the chicken Producer Eddie Smoked chicken Man. Gosh, I would love that. And then, like. Yeah, like, I was.

[Morgan]

Would you be producer Eddie Smoke and Chain or just Eddie's?

[Eddie]

No, Producer Eddie. Yeah, I've already got a following. Like, I already got a. Yeah, but.

[Morgan]

Then they still know Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but there are millions of Eddie's. There's only one producer Eddie.

[Morgan]

I bet there's also a couple.

[Eddie]

There are. There are. Actually. There's a couple of, like, directors in India. There's like, a famous director from India named Eddie, and he's produced and, like, it's Producer Eddie. Yeah. I don't know if he's a producer. I guess he's a producer. Yeah. Yeah. There are music producers that are named Eddie. And I always get DMs of people thinking that, like, I'm a producer.

[Morgan]

Oh, a music producer. Movies.

[Eddie]

No music. And so they're like, check out my beats, man. Maybe you can do something. I'm like, yeah, not that kind of producer.

I'm barely. I'm barely a radio producer profile. And probably not.

[Morgan]

You have Nothing. You have some about music, but not really.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And does say. Yeah. I think on my. On my bio it says, like, I play music. So maybe that's it.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's probably why.

[Eddie]

But. But yeah, I'd go producer Eddie Smoked chicken man. And that would be my truck.

[Morgan]

And you'd sell whole chickens.

[Eddie]

It can be pieces. It can be quarters.

[Morgan]

Or would you do chicken sandwiches? Chicken pizza.

[Eddie]

Chicken could do all that, too. Base it all around chicken. Okay. But it's gotta be smoked chicken. And what I love about that is that the smoker will be going outside the truck at all times. So people just smell the smoke, and they're like, oh, we need to try that.

[Morgan]

There is smells. A big enticing of places.

[Eddie]

Big time. There's a place in town that sells barbecue, and it has a sign on it, and it's just like a little trailer.

[Morgan]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[Eddie]

You don't.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Is it in Germantown or, like, north Nashville? I guess?

[Eddie]

No. No, it's not.

[Morgan]

Oh, then there's two of these places.

[Eddie]

Is it got, like a little picture of a pig on it? Yeah, it does.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Maybe it is Germantown. Does it say if we're smoking, we open?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's the same way. This giant, like, round smoker that sits out there?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Maybe it is the same one.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I drive by all the time.

[Morgan]

You know what's crazy about it, though? Never seen it open.

[Eddie]

No, they're always smoking, which means they're open. True.

[Morgan]

So maybe you go at the hours they're open.

[Eddie]

So you drive by and you just see the barbecue pit out there, and it's never smoking.

[Morgan]

Never on.

[Eddie]

That's. Well, that's not good.

[Morgan]

I drove by there at least 20 times.

[Eddie]

So my son, he plays basketball. There's like a practice facility there in that neighborhood, and we drive by all the time, and we always joke like, you want a turkey leg? Cause they got a big picture of a turkey leg up there too.

[Morgan]

Have you ever stopped?

[Eddie]

Never. And he's always like, dad, one day we have to stop. But we're always, like, rushing, you know?

[Morgan]

Isn't that funny? I feel like there's always a place, like, if I think about my routes or day to day that I drive, I'll always see something and it'll be one particular place and I still haven't gone. But it's always on my mind every time I drive by.

[Eddie]

You should do it. I did it one time.

[Morgan]

For what?

[Eddie]

We always drive by a place called Bangkok Ville Some Chinese food, Thai.

[Morgan]

Thai food.

[Eddie]

Because Bangkok's Thai.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that makes more sense.

[Eddie]

And so. And I've always been like, I don't know. Like, it just looks.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, maybe someday I'll try it. And then one day we're like, let's go. Let's do it. Let's try Bangkok Ville.

[Morgan]

Was it because you were driving by and you had the time or you actually specifically.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. We were just like, let's get something. Let's go out to eat somewhere. And I said, I've always wanted to try this place.

[Morgan]

Was it good?

[Eddie]

It was delicious. It was really good. Interesting. Interesting experience, though. So this is kind of funny. The server comes up, up and to take our order, and she's like.

And she makes, like, the sign of the drink. Like, I drink order. I'm like, oh, maybe she's, like, mute or something.

[Morgan]

Deaf. Yeah, right. Sign language.

[Eddie]

Can't talk for whatever reason. And so we were like, okay, I'll take just water. And then, you know, like, we'll get a Coke. And we're pointing at the drinks on the menu and all that. And then she's like. And then she, like, like, goes and, like, gets her drinks, and then she comes back with her drinks, and she's like, okay, so if you guys are ready to order, like, I'm ready to take the order. And we were like, what the. Like, what. What is happening? Like, she literally was just, like, deaf mute. And now she's just talking. And then she finally realized that all our faces were very confused. And she goes, oh, I didn't explain. I had numbing mouthwash on in my mouth, and I couldn't spit it out. And so that's kind of.

[Morgan]

Why was she doing that at the cash register?

[Eddie]

I don't know. And we're all like, okay, all right. But other than that, the food was delicious.

[Morgan]

You're like, thanks for explaining, but I'm now more confused than I was before.

[Eddie]

Yes, we were just so confused because she was like, couldn't talk one time. And it comes back is like, yeah, what do you guys want? I recommend this dish.

[Morgan]

That's funny. That's a good story. Okay, well, we're wrapping up questions. Eddie, thanks for being here.
