Nourishes like a smoothie and sizzles like a smash burger. Easy to pick up and hard to put down. Made from plants and grills like beef. See, it's not or it's and and that's what I love about Impossible. Just this weekend, a couple impossible burgers. Put them on the grill. Boom.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn more@electricforall.org Come on now, Bob and Bones.

Lunchbox
Scientists say they can tell when you're going to die with a simple test. A brain scan will reveal how long you'll live. Now, it can't predict things like a car hitting you or. Did you see that Ro. It's not roller coaster. That ride. It was okay. You know how everybody sits in the thing? It's hard to explain. The ride and it's like a circle and you're strapped in and it spins and goes up. What is this thing called?
- [03:46]
Eddie
It's a carnival ride.
- [03:47]
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't really know what it's called, but everyone sits in a circle on the outside of it and they swing that thing anyway. The thing gets up and breaks in half.
- [03:57]
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
- [03:58]
Lunchbox
It's crazy.
- [03:58]
Eddie
Did it fall to the ground?
- [03:59]
Lunchbox
Yes. Now did you see it? Yeah, it shattered. Do you know what that ride's called?
- [04:03]
Eddie
Let me look it up.
- [04:04]
Lunchbox
Because it. You all will know. The ride. I don't know what it would be called, but it goes up and shatters and I don't think anybody died, did they?
- [04:13]
Morgan
I think a kid, like lost their legs.
- [04:15]
Lunchbox
Yeah, because it came down. It didn't. It didn't land in a way though, where it like hit people. Heads hit, but it came down. Kind of awkward if you watch it. It's crazy to watch that thing snap. It's like a tilted jump or something.
- [04:29]
Eddie
I think I know what you're talking about.
- [04:30]
Raymundo
360° on it.
- [04:32]
Lunchbox
A 360° amusement park ride snaps in half, bro. It's wild because it goes up and then it's on a stick and it goes boom. And it lands on the bottom, but only after it hits the side. I can see where someone would lose their legs or feet. But from What I saw, 23 people were injured. Four critical condition. It snapped in half. NBC News explains the state of emergency. Is Wild America. No Saudi Arabia, but close. I mean, because they have. They're very advanced.
- [05:00]
Eddie
You meant geographically?
- [05:01]
Lunchbox
No, no, I mean, it would be different if it weren't in like, a third world country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, that's wild. It looked like a really nice American carnival.
- [05:11]
Eddie
Wow.
- [05:12]
Lunchbox
Not like the kind we had in Arkansas where they just pop up on.
- [05:14]
Eddie
The corner and then they're gone the next day.
- [05:16]
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's there for like four days. You see a couple horses and then it's just gone. And there's like that one ride with the stick and the little carts on each side.
- [05:24]
Eddie
Yes, yes. It's so funny. Is that the zipper?
- [05:27]
Lunchbox
I don't know any names or rides.
- [05:29]
Eddie
It's funny. Like, we drive by those and my kids want to stop every single time. And I'm like, oof. I don't think we should do it, guys.
- [05:35]
Lunchbox
So this is brain scan, by the way. You can't tell if you die on, like, a ride or something like that. That. Duke University has discovered that MRI brain imaging during midlife can accurately determine the pace someone is aging biologically, helping doctors to predict the onset of several diseases, including Alzheimer's. Using MRI imaging, researchers developed a tool called Dunedin Pace, in which measures brain features. And then it goes to a bunch of words, I don't know. But it's all, pace of aging. Amy, would you want to do this?
- [06:07]
Bobby Bones
I think so, because then can I reverse it?
- [06:12]
Lunchbox
I don't know, Missy Elliot, reverse it. You can put your thing down, flip it, and hope to reverse it.
- [06:18]
Bobby Bones
It may motivate me more to be more intentional and diligent with what I'm doing with my body.
- [06:25]
Lunchbox
They say about age 45 is the best to go because you kind of set in your brain understands what it is, how it's supposed to work, or even how it's not supposed to work. But that researchers emphasize that biological age is way more telling the chronological age. And tools like this could improve early diagnosis and preventative care for age related conditions. I would compare it to a bit of when you go and you get your jeans G E N E s tested, see if you have certain genes that. And some women will go and because they have breast cancer gene. Yeah, that gene.
- [06:57]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or I'm even thinking, like, I mean, I get my blood work done to check my hormone levels so that I can be proactive about those. So why wouldn't I do this?
- [07:07]
Lunchbox
Sure could be expensive, but if it were free, I'd probably do it.
- [07:10]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [07:11]
Lunchbox
We keep forgetting things and why we keep forgetting things. According to Brain experts, different story, which is kind of on the brain. So a couple of these popped up. Do you feel like you're forgetful?
- [07:22]
Bobby Bones
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
- [07:26]
Lunchbox
Did you forget if you were forgetful? I felt like you went to, like, right now.
- [07:29]
Bobby Bones
I was thinking, like, I think some things I've improved on because I've created. I put systems in place to hold me accountable. Like, calendar. Like, I used to forget more things, but if I have it on my calendar, then I have a reminder. Um, I try. I try to just set myself up for success, but lately, like, words like, or things. I'm like, why can't I? Or someone's name. I'm like, this is really weird. I know this person well. Like, what is going on?
- [07:54]
Lunchbox
So a lot of people will credit age with their brain starting to work slower. Age isn't the only reason, and sometimes it's not the main reason for brain fog. Medications, especially cholesterol medications, antidepressants, diet, sleep, multitasking, even having trouble hearing could also be to blame for forgetting things. So the doctor goes on with it more and again. Diet is a big part of it, and you wouldn't think the things you eat would affect what you can remember, but obviously the things you eat affect every part of your body, including your brain and how your brain works. Research links processed foods with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia. Sleep is a major one. It is essential for brain health, and over time, not getting enough sleep can help it be harder to concentrate, to learn new things, and even create new memories, according to the National Institutes of Health. And then multitasking. Being distracted affects your ability to focus and remember things. You know what I do? I use my phone a lot for reminders. I constantly am like, remind me to do this, remind me to do that. I have a calendar, but these are more micro things. Things like, hey, remind me to pick this up before I go to work. Or not to forget. Like, I had to leave. My car is in the shop. Both are in the shop right now, which kind of sucks. And so because I have a Hyundai, and then I have another car in case they ever come and take the Hyundai back, and they're both in the shop. So I'm like, be sure to take Caitlin's car to work. So I. It's. I do that all the time.
- [09:25]
Eddie
You just talk to your phone and it. How does it remind you? Does it like. Like an alarm goes off or what does it do?
- [09:30]
Lunchbox
Pops up on the front? So I'll say. I don't want to say the person's name? Siri.
- [09:35]
Eddie
Okay.
- [09:35]
Lunchbox
I'll be like, hey, Siri, remind me to take Caitlyn's car to work today. Because whatever. At 8am okay?
- [09:41]
Eddie
So you got to give it a time.
- [09:42]
Lunchbox
And so at 8am pops up, boom. Hey, don't forget to take Caitlyn's car to work. And I'll set it at 8am If I need to do it, like 8:15.
- [09:47]
Eddie
I gotta do that.
- [09:48]
Lunchbox
But I use. I probably do seven or eight a day of reminders.
- [09:52]
Bobby Bones
I really do that so much. Mine was more like, I was trying to order more collagen, like, vital proteins. I was on Amazon and trying to place an order and I didn't know what to look up, but I knew what I wanted to order, but I couldn't think of the word collagen. So then I was like, tell my brain. I'm like, okay, it's like protein. It's in a tub. Like, it starts with a C, I know it starts with a C, But I couldn't think of. I mean, eventually I got there, but I was not okay with how long it took me.
- [10:19]
Lunchbox
Well, you do the thing, because I'll have that happen to me too. And I think a lot of mine is from sleep. But do you do the thing where you will not look it up? You will demand your brain figure it out, and sometimes you won't. And then at 3pm on a Tuesday, you're like, oh, Brian Kelly, head coach, lsu.
- [10:36]
Bobby Bones
Oh, it'll come Tuesday.
- [10:37]
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like, when I don't even need it anymore. I'm just like, that's his name.
- [10:41]
Bobby Bones
What was weird for me is I was able to, like, think of other things that I don't normally think of. Like, you think collagen is easy to remember? Then I was like, you know, there's amino acids in it, which are building blocks of protein. Like, things that I don't like. You know, like the chains. Like, I'm able to think of those words that I don't ever. I don't ever talk about building blocks.
- [11:02]
Lunchbox
I'll do mnemonic devices a lot and get there and use, like, sounds and tricks. Like, I can never remember the actor Edward Norton, ever, for any reason.
- [11:10]
Morgan
He's a great actor.
- [11:11]
Bobby Bones
Why are you thinking of him?
- [11:13]
Lunchbox
I think I tried to remember him for something, maybe like a trivia question or something, and I couldn't. I could see him and I could see him in Fight Club, but I couldn't think of his name. And then I had such a hard time because I wouldn't Allow myself to look it up. That when I finally. It hit me, like, randomly, I was like, I have to think of a way to remember that. And so anytime I'm thinking of somebody acting, I think of somebody that acts bad, somebody that tries to be a bad actor. Eddie Edward Norton. Ed Norton.
- [11:43]
Eddie
You use me to help you remember Edward Norton. Yes. By me being a bad actor.
- [11:49]
Lunchbox
Correct.
- [11:52]
Eddie
Interesting.
- [11:52]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [11:53]
Lunchbox
I didn't choose it. It chose me.
- [11:54]
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
- [11:55]
Bobby Bones
He's just looking for a little association.
- [11:57]
Lunchbox
Yes. So when I think of that, I go, oh, what's that actor's name? Bad actor. Oh, Eddie's a bad actor on the show. Eddie Edward Norton. It's total Michael Scott. But I've used mnemonic devices my whole life.
- [12:08]
Eddie
Okay. Mine's Anne Hathaway. Help me. Why don't ever remember her name?
- [12:14]
Bobby Bones
Like, you see her face in the dark?
- [12:14]
Eddie
I see her all the time.
- [12:15]
Bobby Bones
I can't.
- [12:15]
Eddie
That's the princess of the diary. Like, that's Princess Diary Girl.
- [12:19]
Lunchbox
But, like, I would think if you were to ever see her. Do you ever. You don't ever write, you know, like a journal or anything? Do you ever. What do you write? What do you write at all?
- [12:30]
Bobby Bones
Oh, I have a trick, maybe.
- [12:31]
Eddie
What do you mean? Like, I have, like, a paper here that I write on.
- [12:33]
Lunchbox
Yeah. So when you try to remember who it is, remember that you try to write on a piece of paper to remember who she was. When you write, it's like writing in a diary. She's in Princess Diaries. That's how I would get there. If Princess Diaries remind you of Anne Hathaway. Unless it doesn't. Unless you're like, I can't remember the person from Princess Diaries.
- [12:48]
Eddie
I can't think of another movie she's in. I mean, I know she's in a lot of movies, but if I were.
- [12:51]
Lunchbox
To say Princess Diaries, would you know Anne Hathaway now?
- [12:53]
Eddie
Anne Hathaway.
- [12:55]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [12:56]
Bobby Bones
Okay.
- [12:56]
Eddie
Oh, Devil Wears Prada.
- [12:58]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But that's okay. Stick with what Bobby's is, because it's good and you can add to it. So diary. And then what do you do if you need to get rid of your diary? You throw it away and half away.
- [13:11]
Eddie
This is good.
- [13:11]
Lunchbox
So any. Anything that works for you, and all you have to do is make it hold one time.
- [13:15]
Eddie
Okay.
- [13:16]
Lunchbox
If you make it also saying it out loud. It's like when you meet people, if you say their name. It's also why in spy movies, they say out loud the license plates.
- [13:25]
Bobby Bones
Because I never work for me when I have to park my car and enter in my license plate, good luck.
- [13:31]
Lunchbox
But you don't say it.
- [13:32]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do. Sometimes I'm like, dab, dad. And then I go. And so now I just take a picture of it.
- [13:38]
Lunchbox
And then I. Yeah, I think I do that, too.
- [13:39]
Bobby Bones
I know, but sometimes I'm like, no, don't take a picture this time. Just enter it without looking. And I have to look 10 times.
- [13:45]
Lunchbox
The point with saying it out loud is that not only are you remembering it and trying to imprint your brain with the memory of it, but you're also able to hear it even if you're saying it. It's like if somebody else were saying it. Doesn't matter. You're also hearing it. So you have, like, two ways to try to remember. An imprint in your brain. So if you can't remember something, say it out loud. I'm in the shower. Edward Norton. Edward Norton. Edward Norton. But that's why in those shows, you see them say things out loud. If a car's driving away or a person's name, like, they're taught to do that. And if you meet somebody, like, if you can say their name a couple or three times in the first, like, 10, 15 minutes, and that can be awkward. But if it's like, hey, this is Amy. Hey, Amy, how's it going? I'm Bobby. Good to meet you. And you can do it one more time in the first because it's not going to be weird. Like four times, it gets kind of weird.
- [14:28]
Eddie
Why does he keep repeating?
- [14:29]
Lunchbox
But if you can do that, it does help with the memory as well. But as we get older, our brain also shrinks.
- [14:35]
Morgan
I don't remember.
- [14:35]
Eddie
Crap, dude. Nothing. I don't remember anything.
- [14:38]
Lunchbox
Our frontal lobe, like, fully develops it, depending who you are. Different for everybody between 24 and 27 years old. That's also when the brain kind of is at its height and works the best and is its most robust. And then it slowly starts to shrink. Not in any way like a. What they call that. What are those? Water sponges? Yes.
- [15:01]
Eddie
Sponge.
- [15:01]
Lunchbox
Yeah. They're little rabbits and stuff you grow. You. You pour water on. They grow out, those capsules. That's what I think about. Gosh.
- [15:07]
Eddie
What are those called?
- [15:08]
Lunchbox
What are those called exactly? Do it.
- [15:09]
Morgan
Dang.
- [15:10]
Lunchbox
I don't even know what they're called. But, yeah, then it just slowly shrinks. And what's weird is, like, our nose and our ears keep growing. Our whole life, our brain shrinks. I've heard that also we shrink in size and height because Our spine. Gravity.
- [15:23]
Eddie
Gravity.
- [15:24]
Lunchbox
Well, the pressure of our spine on our whole body.
- [15:29]
Bobby Bones
But I'm gonna do my posture exercises.
- [15:33]
Lunchbox
That's why. Stupid as it sounds, hanging upside down every day, one day is not gonna help. No, I don't. 17 days isn't gonna help. But if you do it semi consistently, that's why it does help. Because it's literally trying to counter gravity and giving your body a break from the constant down that gravity is.
- [15:51]
Eddie
What's crazy is on my way to work, I set my mirror like, you know, my, my, my rear view mirror like a certain height. And then when I get in my car after work or later in the day, I have to move it because I'm like just.
- [16:03]
Lunchbox
Are you slumped though? Yeah, more than anything else, you're. But you're just tired.
- [16:07]
Eddie
I think it's maybe the day's just like kind of like.
- [16:08]
Lunchbox
Yeah, you're probably getting in your seat and slumping more than it is. The gravity's got your spine.
- [16:13]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [16:13]
Lunchbox
Yeah, probably. The mystery of a baby abandoned in rural Tennessee has led to a manhunt. This is from NBC News. Authorities are identifying the man they believe killed four family members and then abandoned a baby in rural West Tennessee. They've added 28 year old Austin Drummond to Tennessee's most wanted list. Have they found him? I saw a picture. I saw a picture pop up on this. Either they found him or they posted a new picture of him. Anybody else following this story?
- [16:37]
Raymundo
I have been. I don't think they found him though. I thought it just got put. The picture of him was posted.
- [16:41]
Lunchbox
Okay, so that's. I've seen a couple pictures, a couple of them ones they had found like, like from social media or wherever it was. They posted a new. And then I thought maybe they had found him when they posted that picture.
- [16:51]
Raymundo
I haven't seen anything. I also know what cars he was driving. That's what they also posted.
- [16:55]
Lunchbox
But they added him. He's 28 years old. Austin Drummond. Investigators say he murdered the victims at a home in Lake county and then left the baby on a stranger's lawn in Dyer County. The infant was unharmed. Drummond, who's considered to be armed and dangerous, may be driving a 2016 Audi A3 with Tennessee plates and damage to the driver's side. A shocked relative of some of the victims say Drummond was close to our family. And Drummond has, quote, literally been nothing short of amazing to us and our kids. Yeah. Terribly tragic. And you wonder, I don't know the town. It does say rural Tennessee, but where I come from if something similar happens and somebody does something completely out of what they are normally known for, it's because they're on some sort of drug, crazy drug, and they're obviously acting in a way they wouldn't normally act because of the influence on the drug, like hallucinating, et cetera. I don't know that that's the case here, but by what I read and where he's from and I hadn't read anything about, he was really upset at the people that were murdered, I would be led to that very early conclusion.
- [18:06]
Eddie
What town is this?
- [18:09]
Lunchbox
It just says. Or is it give the county Tennessee? Yeah, Dyer County. It also has Lake county, but Lake county and Dyer County. I didn't know if Lake county was a town.
- [18:20]
Raymundo
I think Lake county is. I just, I just pulled it up. It has like 6,000 people.
- [18:23]
Lunchbox
Lake county sounds like a county. That's why. Because the words counties on it. But yeah, yeah. What's it, what is scuba?
- [18:30]
Eddie
I see Tiptonville, Tennessee, is what I see law enforcement officers in Tiptonville, Tennessee. So I imagine that's probably got to be it.
- [18:36]
Lunchbox
Well, that's probably where the police station is. Rural towns don't have police station in every town, so I'm not saying you're wrong, but it could be the Tifton police if Lake county is a town. But that's, that's semantics.
- [18:47]
Eddie
So it's like north of Memphis. This is what I'm seeing.
- [18:52]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [18:52]
Eddie
North of Memphis. Yeah.
- [18:54]
Lunchbox
Yeah. That sucks. He didn't kill the baby.
- [18:58]
Eddie
Yeah.
- [18:59]
Lunchbox
You think if you were going absolutely insane, you would just kill everything and not have, like, a little bit of empathy, sympathy from the baby. Next up. Now you can go next, Amy. I don't want to follow that up.
- [19:12]
Bobby Bones
Well, mine's kind of W W too.
- [19:14]
Lunchbox
Give it to me.
- [19:16]
Bobby Bones
This guy that had just been hired to be a teacher in Arkansas, like this upcoming school season. So he was a teacher in Oklahoma, and I think he also taught in Texas, too. And so they ran a background check on him. Obviously nothing crazy. And so he hasn't interacted with the students in Arkansas yet. But school's about to start, and he randomly killed two people hiking at some place called. Do you know where Devil's.
- [19:46]
Lunchbox
I saw that.
- [19:47]
Bobby Bones
Devil's Den State Park. Okay, well, this husband and wife and their two kids were hiking. It's in West Fork, Arkansas. And he randomly just went up and stabbed them. And the. Well started stabbing the dad first.
- [20:01]
Lunchbox
Was he on again? Was he tripping?
- [20:03]
Bobby Bones
I, I, they, I mean, they don't know they have arrested him. He was getting a haircut the other day and they put out like some. They got tips from the community and they found out where he was and they went to the barber shop and arrested him.
- [20:16]
Eddie
Cuz he was missing for like a good week.
- [20:18]
Lunchbox
Oh, he was missing but then he went to.
- [20:19]
Bobby Bones
And then I was like he went to go get his haircut, you know, maybe I guess to get ready for school.
- [20:25]
Lunchbox
This is up northwest Arkansas near Fayetteville. Yeah man, that's the dude.
- [20:29]
Scuba Steve
Stylist said he was quieter than usual.
- [20:31]
Lunchbox
Dude, that dude looks.
- [20:32]
Bobby Bones
Oh yeah. So he had gone to.
- [20:33]
Lunchbox
He looks like he's in a punk band.
- [20:36]
Eddie
But what? Quieter. Quieter than usual. Like you can't judge someone who's not talking.
- [20:42]
Lunchbox
Well, they can be quieter than usual if they come in before in their life of the party and all of a sudden it's all on.
- [20:47]
Eddie
Oh so. Oh, so maybe it's like someone who's cut his hair before.
- [20:50]
Lunchbox
I would assume if they're quieter than usual. But I don't even think that's indicative. Going to go murder somebody.
- [20:56]
Eddie
Right, Right. I was thinking it was just a random. Random justicut, you know, and like this guy's not talking. Well, a lot of people don't talk.
- [21:02]
Lunchbox
A 28 year old teacher is admitted to murdering.

Bobby Bones
It's tragic. It's tragic because it seems really random. So I think he started on the husband first and the wife went and took the children somewhere else and then when she returned to help her husband, that's when she died. So the kids were not harmed. I don't know where the mom took them but the daughters were okay and the mom and the dad are dead. And he went to the park with tape over his license plate. So he went to inflict random harm, I suppose. Like I don't know what got into him that made him want to do this. But why would you tape up your license plate?
- [21:38]
Lunchbox
That's why.
- [21:40]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, right.
- [21:40]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [21:40]
Bobby Bones
Unless you're trying to go do something bad. That also seems so random.
- [21:44]
Lunchbox
Like it was premeditated. Right now maybe not to those specific people.
- [21:47]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [21:48]
Lunchbox
Just to find somebody and that doesn't feel like that's somebody tripping.
- [21:52]
Bobby Bones
I know. That's just what made me. I mean, I don't know because like I like to go hike and then you just never know.
- [21:57]
Lunchbox
Well, you never know walking down the hallway here.
- [21:59]
Eddie
That's true.
- [22:00]
Lunchbox
If somebody.
- [22:01]
Bobby Bones
Right.
- [22:01]
Lunchbox
Is motivated. Yeah. That sucks.
- [22:04]
Bobby Bones
I know. Well, yeah.
- [22:05]
Lunchbox
They didn't say anything about drugs.
- [22:07]
Bobby Bones
Not, not that I saw. I Don't know if y' all saw. They did say they found the weapon at his house, too, and that he was very sloppy about it all. But, like, lunch walk said he did try to go get a haircut to change his look. But, I mean.
- [22:23]
Lunchbox
And he's a teacher, so they had a background check him.
- [22:25]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And he. He passed that he was dismissed, I think when he was teaching in Flower Mound, like, he did, he. They said he had poor judgment, student favoritism, but there was no actual, like, any harm was done to students in any way. But they did release him as a teacher from there.
- [22:45]
Lunchbox
Yeah. An internal investigation found no evidence of inappropriate behavior with students.
- [22:48]
Bobby Bones
Right.
- [22:48]
Lunchbox
Following concerns related to classroom management, professional judgment, and student favoritism, he ultimately resigned. Yeah. Resigned. Yeah. That's crazy. That one feels. Again, I don't know enough about the second one because they don't give many details except for the baby being left. This one feels like. I don't know, like he's listening to some evil music and decided to go do it. Like, was messed up just fully. The other guy sounds like he's just tripping.
- [23:13]
Eddie
You keep saying tripping.
- [23:14]
Lunchbox
That's what it is. You're tripping when you're on meds and you don't know what's happening or drugs. Arkansas State Police have released a composite sketch and photo from behind a man.
- [23:25]
Eddie
That's before they found him.
- [23:26]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [23:26]
Bobby Bones
It was a picture of the back of his body, but I don't even know where they got that. Like, you can see him look over.
- [23:32]
Lunchbox
The hiker vest on, too.
- [23:35]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [23:35]
Lunchbox
Okay. Morgan. Yeah. What do you have? Hey, lift us up.
- [23:40]
Eddie
Is yours sad, too?
- [23:41]
Lunchbox
Lift us up, Morgan.
- [23:41]
Raymundo
It starts sad, but it's a good ending. So this guy went hiking with his dog, and it was in a Utah mountain, and his vehicle flipped 15, 20 times down this mountain. Well, he survived the fall, and he crawled 11 hours to safety, where he got rescued by, like, a rescue crew, and now He's.
- [24:02]
Lunchbox
He crawled 11 hours.
- [24:03]
Raymundo
11 hours out of this. He had a broken leg. He injured his ribs and fractured ankles, and, like, crawled 11 hours through the night to get back just to survive. And now he. After being in the hospital, he's been reunited with his dog, and he's okay.
- [24:20]
Eddie
11 hours. I feel like I'm done.
- [24:22]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [24:22]
Lunchbox
How many hours till you're like, you know what? If God needs me, he'll. He'll take me now.
- [24:25]
Eddie
5. Unless, like, I see, like, okay, you know what? Like, I'm good. I can keep moving. But, like. Like, he Was all messed up. If I'm like crawling five hours and I'm done.
- [24:37]
Lunchbox
Yeah, I guess it depends on any stickers in the ground.
- [24:40]
Morgan
Burrs. Yeah.
- [24:40]
Lunchbox
I'm like, oh, that hurts. That sucks. Ah, good for him. Good story. Lunchbox.
- [24:45]
Scuba Steve
There's a doctor on TikTok letting you know if you're headed to a funeral, do not kiss the dead person. He said that bacteria starts growing on the dead person within nine hours of death, and it can give you. You lose your sense of smell and suffer from cardiorespiratory problems. If you get that bacteria.
- [25:02]
Bobby Bones
Oh, no.
- [25:02]
Lunchbox
It gives you Covid.
- [25:03]
Eddie
Well, that's a good point. Like, I've never understood people that kiss their.
- [25:06]
Lunchbox
I've never seen anyone kiss their dead.
- [25:08]
Scuba Steve
You guys have never kissed a dead person in the casket.
- [25:10]
Eddie
You have?
- [25:10]
Scuba Steve
Yes.
- [25:11]
Eddie
No. Never.
- [25:12]
Lunchbox
I mean, no, I haven't.
- [25:13]
Bobby Bones
I, I. When does it. How many hours? When does it.
- [25:16]
Lunchbox
9. I had sex with one, but I.
- [25:18]
Bobby Bones
Mean, I laid with.
- [25:19]
Lunchbox
Yeah. With my lips on there.
- [25:21]
Eddie
I'm not crazy.
- [25:22]
Bobby Bones
I lay. I cuddled with my mom, but only for like an hour.
- [25:25]
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. But she was in the hospital bed, and that wasn't nine hours.
- [25:29]
Bobby Bones
Right? That's why I asked. He said nine hours.
- [25:31]
Eddie
I think this is the funeral, right?
- [25:32]
Bobby Bones
Well, my mom had an open casket visitation before the. The night before the funeral, but I didn't go. I'm gonna have to ask my sister.
- [25:41]
Lunchbox
No judgment to you doing it. I just never even thought to do it because to me, it my. My just organic matter at that point. It's not. There's nothing in there that makes me want to kiss it, But I understand why people would totally. That's. That is. That is good to know. Holy cow.
- [25:59]
Eddie
Okay, not kissing. I wouldn't.
- [26:02]
Lunchbox
I had plants a day, now I can't even do them.
- [26:06]
Eddie
Okay, Eddie, this is a fun headline that I saw. It said, God, 22 year old strikes up unlikely friendship with quiet neighbor double her age. And so I'm like, let me read more about this. There's a 22 year old girl who, like, moved into a neighborhood, wanted to make friends, and there was a single dude that lived next door. He was raking leaves, seemed nice. So they started talking. And then she, like, invited him over. He's like, nah, I can't go over. Like, I'm double your age. Like, you know, I'm single. You're single. Probably just not good. But then she's like, come on, come on, just come over her. And some friends were over, so he goes, hangs out, dude, they just realized that they had a lot in common. There's nothing to their relationship. They're just friends. She says, this isn't that weird.
- [26:47]
Lunchbox
I'm looking at a picture of them.
- [26:48]
Eddie
She had a boyfriend. And the boyfriend's like, I can't take this relationship you have with your neighbor. It's so weird. They hang out all the time, every.
- [26:55]
Lunchbox
Day they're going to be in love.
- [26:57]
Eddie
That's what I think. But she says, no, no, no, it's nothing like that. And even he says, no, no, no, it's nothing like that. We're just friends.
- [27:02]
Bobby Bones
What's the age? What are their ages?
- [27:03]
Eddie
She's 22 and he is 47.
- [27:06]
Lunchbox
DiCaprio looks at that and goes, that's nothing.
- [27:09]
Eddie
But it's like, why does she keep pushing? Like, the first part's weird. Like, he was just like, no, I'm good. You know, like, it's good having you in the neighborhood. But she just kept on pushing. Like, come on, come on over. Hang out with us.
- [27:20]
Lunchbox
People date at that age.
- [27:22]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [27:23]
Lunchbox
It feels weird because what do you have in common with somebody 20 years younger? But my wife's almost 12 years younger than me.
- [27:30]
Eddie
But that's fine. Then say you're in love. But she says, we're not in love. It's just a friendship. Like, he comes over every day, helps her if her toilet's broken.
- [27:37]
Lunchbox
Yeah, they'll end up getting it on for sure. Yeah, I mean, that's. That'd be a little weird if your daughter is dating a 47 year old. She's 22. Yeah, it'd be weird. But it's not the weirdest thing we've ever heard. Bill Belichick, Alpacino. These famous people do that all the time.
- [27:55]
Eddie
But this is a normal dude.
- [27:56]
Scuba Steve
But how does this become a news story?
- [27:58]
Lunchbox
I don't know.
- [27:59]
Scuba Steve
They're just neighbors.
- [28:00]
Lunchbox
I mean, you're dudes.
- [28:02]
Bobby Bones
I'm. We're eight years apart.
- [28:03]
Lunchbox
Yeah, that doesn't. Yeah, that's nothing.
- [28:06]
Eddie
What is 20?
- [28:07]
Morgan
What, four?
- [28:08]
Eddie
What is it, 47, 22. That's more than eight.
- [28:11]
Lunchbox
Point of view, the neighbor.
- [28:12]
Eddie
Yes, it is more than eight.
- [28:13]
Bobby Bones
It's very different.
- [28:14]
Lunchbox
No, I know. I was just asking, but they don't even look that. They don't even look that different.
- [28:18]
Scuba Steve
And that was four years ago. She's 26 now. Like, I just don't understand how this is a new story.
- [28:23]
Lunchbox
Maybe that's why it's a new story.
- [28:25]
Bobby Bones
Unlikely friendship.
- [28:25]
Eddie
They've been friends for four years. That's crazy. And. And then like, like you said, I thought like, oh, they'll hook up. They'll get together. Four years of friendship and they're. They've not gotten together. This is great.
- [28:35]
Bobby Bones
Her boyfriend peaced out in the meantime.
- [28:37]
Eddie
Yeah, bro. Boyfriend's like, no. You guys hang out like every day. I don't like this.
- [28:40]
Lunchbox
It had to be about more than just that.
- [28:42]
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
- [28:43]
Lunchbox
Unless he's seen more than just that.
- [28:45]
Eddie
Not in this. Interesting read. I read that's what it came up. It came up under an interesting read.
- [28:51]
Lunchbox
Let's I do want to talk about another relationship that is drastic in terms of age. I do want to go to the Chris Jansen interview first. Let's take a break. We'll do Chris Jansen and then after Chris Jansen, we'll talk about this other thing.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 4. 400 miles on a full charge? That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back.

Lunchbox
Chris, how you been, buddy?
- [32:56]
Morgan
Hey, I'm doing great, man. Thank you for having me in. Beautiful studio.
- [32:59]
Lunchbox
Thank you. Built up my own two hands.
- [33:01]
Morgan
I knew you.
- [33:02]
Lunchbox
Did you ever build stuff on your property?
- [33:03]
Morgan
I do build stuff on my property. I mean, not good, but I do build stuff. Yeah?
- [33:07]
Lunchbox
What do you do? Like, what do you do at home? What's your, like, dad thing or like your Chris thing?
- [33:11]
Morgan
Well, this afternoon I'm going fishing with Jesse, my youngest, and we go fishing just about every day that we're home.
- [33:17]
Lunchbox
Do you have a pond on your property?
- [33:19]
Morgan
I do. I have a pond at the. At the house where we live. But Then I have a lot of acreage on the Harpeth river and we go out in the river and so lately, actually in the last couple weeks, we've been. Me and a crew of guys have been clearing out the river on the days we've been off and the riverbanks and kind of pretty it up, kind of making it more scenic and so you can get down into the water. So that's what we've been doing.
- [33:38]
Lunchbox
You stock the pond at all?
- [33:39]
Morgan
We do.
- [33:40]
Lunchbox
Man. That's this total joy for a kid to go into a stock pond. And by kid, I mean me as well.
- [33:46]
Morgan
Yeah, yeah. I mean all of us. It's awesome. Yeah.
- [33:49]
Lunchbox
You're wearing your bass pro hat and so I know. You know Johnny Morris. I know Johnny Morris.
- [33:53]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [33:54]
Lunchbox
I was up there a few weeks ago and it's really cool to be able to text him and just be like, we're coming up. But he let me fish out of one of his stocked trout lakes. Oh, my gosh. It was on, but it was called the Glory Hole.
- [34:05]
Morgan
Yeah, it's unbelievable, isn't it?
- [34:06]
Lunchbox
Unbelievable. They're massive. You can see them and you're just fly fishing in and boom.
- [34:11]
Morgan
Yeah, it's the. It's the greatest ever. Honestly. He's been like father figure to me as you know, and just been so good to me. And I'm really, you know, always proud to be a bass pro, man. But it, I fished that too, and it is pretty awesome.
- [34:25]
Lunchbox
It's the greatest fishing experience I've ever had. And I fished my whole life, growing up and Arkansas. Keith, my stepdad was a striper guide. And yeah, that's probably the most fun fish to catch for me as a striper because they're big and they fight.
- [34:35]
Morgan
They are big and they do fight, you're right.
- [34:37]
Lunchbox
But being able to catch those trout in that up there is awesome.
- [34:42]
Morgan
Well, trout is my favorite. You know, last week we were on the road. We were in Montana, New Mexico and Colorado and we had like a four day run out there before we came back to the East Coast. And so again, Jesse, who was traveling with us, my youngest, he was like, dude, we got to go fishing. So we took some. We took some fly rods with us. We weren't having any luck. We were in. We were in Bozeman, then we were in Avon, Colorado, around Beaver Creek. And we went over to the store and bought a cheap little spinning rod and some rooster tails and we started popping the trout out of there one after the other. So it was pretty fun. We took One and cooked it in the hotel.
- [35:13]
Lunchbox
I think we grew up pretty similarly. Did you ever. Probably Arkansas Keith won't care. But did you try to catch catfish? A bunch.
- [35:22]
Morgan
That's basically all we caught.
- [35:24]
Lunchbox
And so we would do things like set trot lines.
- [35:27]
Morgan
Yep.
- [35:27]
Lunchbox
And we would take like big Pennzoil oil jugs and put it. And you know, they'd pull them down. We'd.
- [35:33]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [35:34]
Lunchbox
And so that's, that's how we catch all the big catfish, is by setting trot lines.
- [35:38]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [35:38]
Lunchbox
I don't, I don't know if anybody trot lines anymore. Do they? Is that even illegal, even legal now?
- [35:43]
Morgan
I think so. I mean, I would have to check the law on it, but I think it's pretty legal and I think that.
- [35:46]
Lunchbox
Not how we did it though.
- [35:47]
Morgan
You never know. I mean, yeah, there was a lot of things growing up that they probably would be frowned upon, but. But no, we did the same thing with like Mountain Dew 2 liter bottles, you know?
- [35:55]
Lunchbox
Yeah. So we did Penzoil. Penzo cut, cut. And they'd float and you set them and boom, when they pulled down, you had them.
- [36:01]
Morgan
Yeah, it's like milk jugs. But they. Yeah, that's all we really fished for because that's like the, that's like the low hanging fruit, you know what I mean? But we grew up going to a place called Clearwater Lake, my grandma and me, and, and she always took me fishing as a kid. So that's where my early love from. It came. I was just fishing on the riverbanks with my grandma.
- [36:16]
Lunchbox
What do your kids want to do? Because I know you take them on stage, take them fishing, like, what do they want to do now?
- [36:23]
Morgan
So all four of my kids are doing really well. The older two, my bonus kids are very successful and they're living their life and they're doing great. One's in hr, one's in medical. They're crushing it. My younger two, my youngest daughter, Georgia, she wants to be a model, and she very well could be. And then Jessie, you know, he. He gets on. He. It was his idea for the singing thing, so he gets on stage to sing with me on his own merit. And he either wants to be a singer or a hunting and fishing guide, he tells me. But then some days he's like, I want to be a bull rider. So I don't know, whatever, whatever, you know? And he loves ufc. He loves the ufc. So he wants to. He likes to scrap. And so he's always, he's always telling me, you know, you used to Used to fight with me when I was little, and now you don't fight with me anymore. You know, it's like we can't fight every single second of the day. But it is really fun to. You know, I forget, you know, being a dad sometimes. You forget what it was like being a kid and looking up to somebody like that. And. And so I try to make every moment like that count. Like sometimes Kelly and I'll talk about it and she'll go, gosh, like you spent the whole day on the river or whatever you're doing. But. But investing the time in your kids, I think is. Is the most important thing you can do.
- [37:31]
Lunchbox
Just.
- [37:31]
Morgan
Just the time. It doesn't matter what you're doing, but just the time. So someday they remember. You know, my dad was busy all the time, and they. And my mom and dad worked all the time. They travel all the time. But we had a very normal life outside of it. And I'm proud to say that we do. I feel like we have a very normal life. And I haven't missed a day of car rider line yet as a. As a dad, and she has. Kelly hasn't missed a day of car rider line yet.
- [37:52]
Bobby Bones
Car, carpool line.
- [37:53]
Morgan
Yeah. Yeah.
- [37:54]
Lunchbox
Miserable.
- [37:54]
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
- [37:55]
Morgan
You know what? It's.
- [37:56]
Lunchbox
No, I'm not saying, like, it is what it is. 50. 50.
- [38:00]
Bobby Bones
Like, yeah, like it's intended. Do you ever get honked at? I can never do it right, you know, so I missed a lot of days.
- [38:07]
Morgan
Yeah. So I got it. So before, before, before we were friends with the principal, right? At the schools. And both principals are really cool at the schools because they're, you know, they're in different grades. But before we were friends with them, we would get in trouble all the time because me and Kelly are like a personality in the car. So we pull up in these car lines and we always. We're always going what we think is the right way. It's like the shortest way would be the right way. That's what people would think. Instead, they want you to go the long way. So then we sit in the long way, and then we get in trouble. We had to go through the whole deal. Mr. Jansen, you can't sit. Okay, no problem, you know, whatever, but it's okay. And it's not mise. Because soon it's not going to be happening. And I. And I. It's. It just makes me so sad.
- [38:44]
Lunchbox
But both can be true. It can be that part of that process can be not joyful or miserable, but what you get from it can actually be wonderful because I think that would be miserable. I've picked up other kids in that line. I'm like, I don't want to sit here. This is terrible.
- [38:58]
Morgan
Yeah, it was terrible sitting there, especially the weight, you know, at the end of the day because they, they make you, you know, every, they make you wait in line, and I hate waiting in lines. But, but, you know, it's part of life. But, but again, as a, as a dad, I can tell you, I can assure you and anybody out there listening, they would agree. You know, it's like you don't get those moments your whole life and, and once they're gone, you miss them. And I remember, I remember being in car rider lines with, with my older two kids, my bonus kids as a stepdad early on and, and going, gosh, it sucks. I don't like this, you know, but, but then when it's over, it's, you know, you miss it. You miss those. We miss those weird things like that.
- [39:31]
Bobby Bones
In life and the conversations that are had, like driving school. I get that.

Morgan
You know, every day me and J. I, so I take Jesse, Kelly takes Georgia and, and, and, and for no other reason. It's just, just kind of how it happened. But. Well, I know really why I started. Me and Jesse like to hunt in the mornings. And so, you know, before school, we usually are hunting or fishing, but we ride to school in the mornings. And we're, we're, we're listening to Hank junior Records and we're listening to Skynyrd and, and, and, and every now and again, Jesse's like, can we put on a Walk by Pantera? And I'm like, yes. Can we turn it up in the car rider line? I'm like, yes, absolutely. So we roll through the car rider line cranking bad reputation or walk by Pantera.
- [40:08]
Lunchbox
So you mentioned Bozeman, Montana a minute ago. I've been to Bozeman. It's awesome. It is around Bozeman. It's the only place that I've been. And again, we drove out into the national park, and the national parks are so big, they're like small states themselves.
- [40:20]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [40:20]
Lunchbox
And there was no cell service at all. We've done this bit on this show before. If you had to move somewhere that you've never actually lived before and you're not really associated with, but where would you move? Like, I love Chicago. I think Chicago is great. Except for in the winter when it gets too cold. Where would you move? You've traveled everywhere.
- [40:37]
Morgan
Yeah. So my. Well, I'M going to give you a two part answer. The first part is my favorite city in the whole world is New York City, Manhattan. And I could live there today because.
- [40:46]
Lunchbox
I didn't expect that from you.
- [40:47]
Morgan
It's vibrant, it's fun. There's. I love to eat and there's food 247 and you can basically get whatever you want. You can get great steak, you can get great a hamburger. You can get great sushi 247 and I love it there. I also love Los Angeles. If I was living a bougie, bougie lifestyle, I'm not afraid to admit that I love Bel Air. I think it's beautiful. I think the people are nice.
- [41:09]
Lunchbox
That also means you have a lot of money if you're living there.
- [41:12]
Morgan
And it smells good.
- [41:13]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [41:14]
Morgan
But it smells like a candle. 247 But I think if I an unfamiliar place that I'd love to live. I would love to live in Montana as well. I'm a, I'm a West guy, you know. I love the south. Of course. I love, I love our country, but I love the South. We spend a lot of time in Florida. But if I could live there full time. I love the no humidity in the west and I love the hunting and the fishing and the culture is nice. And just open sky.
- [41:36]
Lunchbox
I don't like the cold anywhere.
- [41:38]
Morgan
See, I do.
- [41:39]
Lunchbox
I hate it.
- [41:40]
Morgan
Yeah, I don't mind. It just reminds me of my favorite time of the year. It's like if you can get a pumpkin spice and a, in a, in a cold morning, there's nothing better.
- [41:50]
Lunchbox
That's fine for like five days and then I'm good. I'm good. I don't need the seasons. Give me a week of winter. I'm good to go. I like to be warm, be able to go outside and play in the cul de sac until the sun goes down, you know?
- [42:00]
Morgan
No, I hear you, I hear you. I hear you big time. Actually.
- [42:02]
Lunchbox
Yeah, Chris Jansen is here. He's got a new album out today called Wild Horses. So let's start with me and a beer, because this is the single we're going to play.
- [42:11]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [42:11]
Lunchbox
Set this song up for us. Like, give me a story about it behind it.
- [42:14]
Morgan
Sure. So Kelly and I were talking at the house about, you know, we were in the early stages of making this, this Wild Horses record. And she goes, man, can you please just go write something like fix a drink and good vibes. But like in the middle of that, and I said, honestly, God, like, you don't know how hard it is to write a song like that or to write a Buy Me a Boat or something like that. It's a very fun, light hearted song because as a songwriter I first go to introspective, I go to the deep spots, you know, like most people. But to write a song that, that it just makes you feel good is sometimes the most challenging thing. But I got together with my guys, it was Ashley Gourley, Taylor Phillips and Andy Sheridan, who. Andy's a co producer on the, on the track and the whole record. And I said, hey, this is the goal. Let's make a V like a, like a V. Fix a drink. Good vibes are here. We want to sit in the middle. And that's where me and a Beer came from. And I, we looked up all the titles, which was the interesting thing. And if you go back through my catalog of hit songs, the one thing I'm really proud of and I didn't ever really realize is that you can't find another drunk girl, you can't find another Buy Me a Boat, you can't find another Fix a drink, you can't find another Good Vibes, maybe one. But you didn't. Nobody ever wrote Me and a Beer and I just couldn't believe it. It was, I thought it's gotta be a million times out there. But it wasn't. It was unique and it was for the everyday working class hero, man. I mean, because you know, the people I play for every night, I can see it, they're a little quiet. And then if they have one beer, they're like, I'm loving it. If they have two, they're like, we're not leaving. And three, you know, it's. It's off to the races. So that's was really the premise behind it.
- [43:41]
Lunchbox
Hey Chris, let me ask you a question about playing back at Tootsies back in the day.
- [43:44]
Morgan
Sure. Please.
- [43:45]
Lunchbox
What was the most amount you could make a night in? Tips?
- [43:47]
Morgan
Made thousand dollars was the most in a night.
- [43:49]
Lunchbox
One night.
- [43:50]
Morgan
Yeah. Yeah. Made $5,000 one night. The reason is like it teach. It taught me how to be a hustler. And I was already a hustler when I got there because. So, you know, because I came from playing just whatever venues in Southern Missouri where I was from and traveling around and doing that in school to coming to Nashville where they don't pay you money, you just get paid out of a tip jar. So I thought, well, this is, this is so uncharacteristic to what people are used to. And it's not really fair, but it's the way of the world. So you just learn how to. You just learn how to hustle tips and speak to people. Not really fans. If you just. People in the bar speak to patrons like you've known them forever and almost make them feel like they know you forever. And then they'll want to tip you on that and just play what they want to hear. Just.
- [44:39]
Lunchbox
What's the most you ever got for a single tip or performance?
- [44:43]
Morgan
Probably like.
- [44:45]
Lunchbox
Oh, don't even say it.
- [44:46]
Morgan
No, no. Really? 500 bucks.
- [44:48]
Lunchbox
Wow.
- [44:48]
Morgan
Whoa. Yeah.
- [44:49]
Bobby Bones
Okay.
- [44:50]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [44:50]
Lunchbox
Is that somebody trying to show off for their girl like some old business dude?
- [44:54]
Morgan
It's always the old business.
- [44:55]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [44:55]
Morgan
Okay, so. So I got. I got the. I got a great description for you. So years ago, when Bridge Bridgestone arena used to be called what it used to be called Gaylord.
- [45:06]
Lunchbox
Okay, that's before us.
- [45:08]
Morgan
It was a long time ago, Raz. Like right when I first got to town. But, but, so, okay, this guy used to come in, and he's not part of the Gaylord Opry entertainment group that I know, but it was somebody from the old school Gaylord camp. And he would come in there all the time, slacks and the whole deal. He looked like he just walked out of the corporate office. And he would always come in in the evenings, probably around 5 or 6 o', clock, right about shift change, because you go 6 to 10. So it was like right in that shift change and he was sitting there and watch me six to 10, and he would tip hundreds, he would tip 500. And it was always in that way. But it was never like, he never had girls with him or nothing. Was just like a corporate dude that just came in there and drank Bud Lights and just normal tipped hundreds.
- [45:46]
Lunchbox
Was he trying to get you?
- [45:47]
Morgan
He. I don't. I hope not. He didn't.
- [45:51]
Lunchbox
Wow.
- [45:52]
Morgan
But he would tip hundreds, Tiff. You know, I mean, I've made 500 bucks per song. I mean, you just play what people want to play and that's it. I mean, I use the same. I use the same method now, even being a professional touring act, like, I just am of the belief that if you have the luxury of having hit songs, which is so hard to do, and it's like cracking the code and not everybody gets to do it. If you have that luxury, play the hits. People want to hear the hits. And then, you know, you can play some B side. That's cool. But, you know, it's. It's a great privilege for me, so I enjoy It. And honestly, sometimes people remember. They will. They know about my story with tootsies and playing on the tip jar circuit. And they will. Not in a rude way, but they'll bring, like. They'll be like tips in a note, like, can you play this? And I'm like, sure. But then we donate the money. So, like, the last three times it's happened, we just give it to St. Jude, the local St. Jude chapter, and things like that. And that's a good way to raise money.
- [46:46]
Lunchbox
Dude, that's crazy. Made 5,000 bucks. And I'm sure you reported all that to the government. Absolutely.
- [46:51]
Eddie
Absolutely.
- [46:52]
Morgan
Every single day. Every single day.
- [46:53]
Lunchbox
Every single day. When I waited tables every 10 cash. Reported it all. Chris has got a new album out today that's called Wild Horses. I want to play a little bit of Hardest Hunting Season with Jamie Johnson.
- [47:03]
Morgan
It's my favorite song on the album, as a matter of fact. I have a group of friends in Florida, where we live sometimes, that I hunt and fish with. And it's a great family. It's a father, two sons. We're really close. We hunt every year, fish every year. Last September, one of the brothers, who I'm closer with, called me and said, hey, man, Graham just passed away, was his brother and dad. I just. I was. What do you say to that? You know? And he said, dad would like to know if you would please come down and. And be a part of the funeral in some way. Maybe sing a song. I said, sure. So we flew down, and I did go rest high on the mountain on piano. And as I walked up graveside, the dad, who I'm really close with, he said. He said, I'm so sorry. He said, hey, Chris, this is going to be my hardest hunting season. And it just. You know, selfishly, I accidentally take song titles away from just about everything that I do. You know, I wasn't looking for it in that moment. It just happened. And I came back that Sunday, and then the following Tuesday, we got into the studio at the cabin, and I had some guys coming over to write for this for what turned out to be the Wild Horses album. And I said, hey, I got this idea. We gotta do it. And they were totally on board. It was Josh Phillips, Mitch Oglesby and Michael Wilkes, and. And. And they were just totally on board. But it's a very true story. And then I always. You know, I've done a lot of great collaborations over the years, which I'm really proud of. But the one that I wanted to do forever was Jamie, because I'm just such a big. I'm probably his number one fan. And I reached out to him, I said, I would really appreciate you giving this a listen and considering doing this with me. And he hit me right back and he said, I would love to. And he did. And I just thought it was so eloquent how he did it. And I really appreciate it.
- [48:53]
Lunchbox
I want to play one other song here because I have a question. It's called the Broken, and I know you. I know Kelly Lovelace, Kelly Rowland. Is that the Kelly Roland I'm thinking of or is that a different Kelly Rowland?
- [49:03]
Morgan
No, that's from Destiny's Child.
- [49:05]
Lunchbox
Kelly Rowland. That's a no. I know it's your wife. I'm kidding.
- [49:07]
Morgan
Well, we get asked that every time we check into a hotel.
- [49:10]
Lunchbox
Really?
- [49:10]
Morgan
They look at her and they go.
- [49:12]
Lunchbox
But I was Kelly Rowland. But the reason I asked that is she doesn't. Your wife doesn't list her name as Kelly Jansen?
- [49:18]
Morgan
Yeah, well, I don't. She's. I think she is proud of our marriage. I know she is. But when we. The truth is, is that we got married on July 4, 15 years ago. We just celebrated 15 years. And whenever we got married, we were in the middle of a radio tour. And on my first record, Deliver, we were just kids, you know, and. And we didn't have time to go do and all the switching over with the names and I was like, I don't care. It doesn't offend me. Just keep your name. And it's just easier. So it just kept it easy. So she's always kept her name, her maiden name, and I'm good with it.
- [49:47]
Lunchbox
Do people often think that she's Kelly Rowland, not Kelly Roland? It's a weird question to ask Kelly Rowland. If they see the writing credits. I think it's Kelly from Destiny Child.
- [49:54]
Morgan
All the time, I'm telling you, from writing credits to hotels to just, you name it, banks, whatever. They're like, they look at her and they go, you're not.
- [50:06]
Lunchbox
You don't look like her. You don't look like Kelly Rollins, what about the song you wrote with Beyonce Knowles on here? Chris has a new record out today called Wild Horses. So what are you doing out to support the album?
- [50:18]
Morgan
We are flying out to six major cities and we are taking this live on the road, which is cool. We're going to six major market, big radio markets and we're doing this live for fans.
- [50:30]
Lunchbox
Doing the record live.
- [50:31]
Morgan
Yeah, I'm doing. I'm doing a. Probably about half the Record live and then doing the rest of it. A Q and A for people, a real up close and personal thing, which would be the first time I've ever done something like this. But we're going to hit multiple cities in certain days. I think we're going to take two to three days a jaunt, but we're going to hit multiple cities during each one. And this is in the middle of, you know, extensive tour schedule, which I'm grateful for. So it just kind of lined up and worked out great. But it's a good way to get real with people and get them involved with an album. It's a unique way and so pretty proud of that. But, you know, other than that, man, I've been playing these songs. I've been released. I released a couple of songs early off this record, this Flag, the Bride, of course, Me and a Beer, and now Wild Horses in leading up to releasing the full blown album. And we've been playing those live and they've been going over really good, which I'm, you know, I'm always hesitant to play new songs. It can be an awkward thing. It's, you know, doesn't matter. What you're doing is people come to hear the hits and so you gotta, you gotta be careful playing B sides or something they've never heard before. But these songs have somewhat familiarized themselves to them already and that feels really good. It's like the first time on an album that I felt really confident doing it. No big deal. Like, I actually even started playing bass guitar on Wild Horses Live. I haven't played bass since I was a kid. This is my first instrument and so it's opened up a lot of new doors for me personally and, you know, it's enjoyable.
- [51:49]
Lunchbox
Let me ask about the Mountain Dew. Do you drink Mountain Dew at all again? Are you back?
- [51:53]
Morgan
No, sir.
- [51:54]
Lunchbox
You still clear?
- [51:54]
Morgan
No, sir. So as of June 1st this year, that marked one year of not having any Mountain Dew, no Cokes, No. No nothing. No sodas at all? No sodas at all.
- [52:04]
Lunchbox
No caffeine at all? Not even any Starbucks?
- [52:06]
Morgan
No, sir.
- [52:06]
Lunchbox
No.
- [52:06]
Morgan
Zero caffeine.
- [52:07]
Bobby Bones
Wait, earlier you said something about a pumpkin spice latte. Decaf.
- [52:10]
Morgan
Decaf.
- [52:12]
Lunchbox
Nice. No, he just eats a pumpkin in the morning.
- [52:15]
Morgan
We eat a lot of pumpkins. No, but it's decaf. I haven't had any caffeine and I haven't had any sodas because I got really bloated for a couple weeks and Kelly was like, gosh, are you getting a dad bot already? And I was Like I don't think so. And then we had this industry, this number one party for all I need is you. And all my co writers were picking on me going, God, you're gonna dad bod. And I was like shut up.
- [52:42]
Lunchbox
Your co workers were telling you you're gonna dad bod?
- [52:44]
Morgan
Yeah, like my co writers were like messed up and like these dad bods were telling me I got a dad bod. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm like dang, man. So I honestly. But I, but I, you know, I don't get self conscious about stuff. I don't care but, but I was like, I don't feel very good and I'm not telling a lot of people I don't feel good. So I went to a GI doc who told me that you have to quit drinking Mountain Dew today if you haven't done it already or you're gonna die.
- [53:11]
Lunchbox
Because you had drank so much.
- [53:12]
Morgan
Yeah.
- [53:13]
Lunchbox
Because of your life.
- [53:13]
Morgan
Because I had a thing called leaky gut, which is a real thing where if you, if you consume something so bad for so long it eats basically a hole through your stomach and that's it. And I got that. And so I had to do.
- [53:26]
Lunchbox
Were hitting them pretty hard, right? 20.
- [53:27]
Morgan
24 a day?
- [53:28]
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, 24 a day easy.
- [53:31]
Bobby Bones
24 cans.
- [53:33]
Morgan
Yeah, like, you know, like the big box a day.
- [53:36]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [53:36]
Bobby Bones
How did you sleep?
- [53:37]
Morgan
Easy. I still don't sleep. You know, it's winching. I sleep worse now than I did then, but. But I'll tell you the greatest thing about it is, is that my complexion came back. I'm a pretty. Like I'm a darker skin. Like a more of an olive skinned type person naturally. And it was hollowing me out. It really was tearing my life up. I mean I've had nine root canals. Like it was, it was destroying 24.
- [54:00]
Lunchbox
Of anything a day. 24 massages of a day. You probably gotta go, yeah, that's crazy.
- [54:05]
Morgan
Ye. But I feel pretty good. I've only had. I've only had water and natural juices for over. I mean June 1st was a year and now we're well over a year. So I'm never going to go back. It's just something I just cut out, I had to cut out of my life. And I want to, you know, people aren't going to live forever, but I want to live as long as I can. So that's it.
- [54:23]
Lunchbox
Are you working with Craven flavor?
- [54:25]
Morgan
Yeah, and I love them.
- [54:26]
Lunchbox
Yeah, they do our green room. They're really good How'd you get together with them?
- [54:30]
Morgan
Man, it was so. I don't even know how it actually originally happened, but this sweet girl, Ashley, some. Somehow the. The wires got crossed, and then all of a sudden, Kelly's like, we got this offer from this girl named Jen. They reached out to this girl named Jen, who's a great marketing girl, and then she reached out to Kelly. Would you. What do you think about working with these people? And I'm. I'm funny about working with people because if I'm going to endorse something or they're going to endorse me, even more importantly, I want it to be natural and not weird. And I just don't do it if it doesn't feel right. But I said, let's just at least meet these people. So she came out to our show in Illinois, and I'll never forget, we're standing by a train track. Bus is parked over there, me and Justin Moore and a couple of people. And she brought her husband. And I was like, man, these are good folks. And it was kind of like we'd kind of get in the ball rolling. And then Craven happened and they've been a really good partner, man. Like, we. We got these gift boxes. We've. We've. They've set up around the album. I didn't. They did around the album. Really eloquently done. My kids are trashing the house with. With food.
- [55:29]
Lunchbox
They also. Really good.
- [55:30]
Morgan
Yeah, it's. Dude, it's really good. It's awesome, dude. The. The. The dill pickle. Probably our favorite choice. Favorite in the house. And I'm a big ice cream nut, so I love the. I love the mint chocolate chip ice cream, but I just like them personally. You know, aside of the product, I think that a product really stands on its own two feet when people are nice and they're good folks at the heart and the core. And that's how things work really well. And it's been a. Really. Been a really good partnership.
- [55:56]
Lunchbox
See, I'm okay with bad people with great product's great. That's why I like Craven. Hey, dude. Congratulations.
- [56:02]
Morgan
Thank you, Bobby.
- [56:03]
Lunchbox
Yeah, I know it's a big day. New record out today.
- [56:05]
Morgan
Thank you.
- [56:05]
Lunchbox
Great to see you. You guys check out the new album, Wild Horses. It is out today. Go strain the crap out of it. And that is Chris Jansen, everybody. There he is.
- [56:13]
Morgan
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
- [56:17]
Lunchbox
Okay, so the other thing I wanted to talk about, and I'm gonna say that I'm gonna loosely give facts as reported by Somebody else. I don't know that any of this is true. I do know there's a lawsuit. I'm talking about the Candace Owens lawsuit, where the prime. The president of France is suing Candace Owens because she is saying that Bridget Macron is a man. I've watched some of the Candace Owens video series too, on this specifically same. It is hilarious. She has doubled down so hard. By the way, do I think that the first lady of France is actually a man? Probably not.
- [56:58]
Eddie
Okay, who's the first lady? Okay, can you give me a little background on all this? I don't know who.
- [57:01]
Lunchbox
Okay, so there's a president of France. And I'm gonna paraphrase and probably be a little fuzzy with facts, but I feel like I'm gonna give you facts that are. That are solid enough for the story to work. President France has a woman older than him as his wife. Way older. Okay. Supposedly their story is she was like a teacher in her 30s. He was 15. That's when they first met. They got married later on. That part of it already feels weird. And you may look up the age discrepancy of that part, Amy, if you can, like, trail me, because I know you know the story as well. So there were some journalists in Europe who put out the story that said that Brigitte Macron is a man and that he transitioned secretly decades ago. And that the President of France is married to a woman that used to be a man.
- [57:57]
Eddie
Got it.
- [57:58]
Lunchbox
And that she has taken the identity of somebody she used to be related to. And so she's been saying that forever. And Candace Owens then came on and said that Trump called her and said, hey, I'm asking to stop talking about it.
- [58:09]
Eddie
And Candace Owens is the reporter.
- [58:11]
Lunchbox
Candace Owens is the personality.
- [58:13]
Eddie
Okay, got it.
- [58:14]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Would you call. Is she a.
- [58:16]
Lunchbox
No, I wouldn't say she's a reporter, but what's even anything anymore?
- [58:19]
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
- [58:19]
Lunchbox
So sure, why not?
- [58:20]
Eddie
Okay.
- [58:21]
Lunchbox
Yeah.
- [58:21]
Bobby Bones
But she's sort of made this a big part of her.
- [58:24]
Lunchbox
I'm gonna read you this from the end of it.
- [58:26]
Eddie
And what does the first lady look like?
- [58:27]
Bobby Bones
I'll show you.
- [58:28]
Lunchbox
Like an old lady that possibly looks like they could be wearing a wig right there.
- [58:33]
Bobby Bones
Okay, so that's her.
- [58:34]
Eddie
I see that.
- [58:35]
Bobby Bones
And then that's him. He's attractive, if you ask me.
- [58:39]
Lunchbox
I'm gonna read you some of this from the Independent. Candace Owens has doubled down on her baseless conspiracy theory that the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron was born a man, which prompted a defamation lawsuit against the far right provocateur over the demonstrably false claims that she made through her investigation. Taken even further on Monday, the podcaster predicted that Brigitte Macron's death would be faked before the case would reach the discovery phase, claiming that the hypothetical stage killing of Macron would shut down all discussion, quote, about her being a man anymore. Following months of Owens false claims that Brigitte Macron is a man and he transitioned secretly decades ago, the Macron's filed a 219 page defamation complaint last week. Owens has dissected their appearance, their marriage, their friends, their family and their personal history, twisting it all into a grotesque narrative designed to inflame and degrade. This is from the Independent. Obviously they have a perspective. I don't say that I agree or disagree with the perspective. My perspective is it's just crazy. What's crazy is did you find the age when they met?
- [59:40]
Bobby Bones
So. So she's 72 and he's 47 and they've been together like 25 years.
- [59:47]
Lunchbox
And I want to find how they met because that part is weird and that's the story they're telling us.
- [59:56]
Eddie
How does Candace know all this stuff? Like is she just like she just talking or deep dive?
- [60:02]
Lunchbox
Because there were, there was another or there were a couple other journalists who had this story and I think she was interested in it and then started to investigate it herself and was getting tips, etc.
- [60:12]
Bobby Bones
Well, haven't he.
- [60:13]
Scuba Steve
15 and she was 39.
- [60:14]
Lunchbox
He was 15, she was 39. And she was his like teacher, like his drama teacher or theater.
- [60:21]
Eddie
Theater.
- [60:25]
Lunchbox
How Emmanuel Macron's parents discovered their son was dating his 40 year old teacher.
- [60:30]
Bobby Bones
They didn't get married till he was 29 though. So that's where the.
- [60:33]
Lunchbox
She was 24 years a senior.
- [60:35]
Scuba Steve
What'd you say, Amy?
- [60:35]
Lunchbox
He met as a 15 year old schoolboy when she was a teacher, a private school in northern France.
- [60:41]
Bobby Bones
Right. But their marriage took place when he was 29.
- [60:43]
Lunchbox
Creepy as crap.
- [60:44]
Bobby Bones
She was 15.
- [60:45]
Lunchbox
You meet a kid at 15, that's almost, that almost feels like grooming. It is.
- [60:49]
Scuba Steve
That's like Mary Kay Letourneau.
- [60:50]
Lunchbox
You meet a kid. Well, she started hooking up with a kid at 15. We don't know they did that. But you meet a kid at 15.
- [60:56]
Eddie
But like she's just your teacher, right? Like say she's just your teacher and then like 20 down 20.
- [61:01]
Lunchbox
I don't think they remit. I don't think they met way later.
- [61:04]
Bobby Bones
Well, it says that he was part of the after school drama club and that's where their connection deepens.
- [61:09]
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that didn't sound good.
- [61:10]
Lunchbox
After School Special, the schoolboy's parents had believed their son was dating his teacher's daughter, Lawrence, until the truth came out. Through a family friend. Shocked at the illicit affair, the Macrons removed the intellectually gifted teenager from the school. His mother quote, we just couldn't believe it. What is clear is that when Emmanuel met Brigitte, we couldn't just say, that's great. But she added, what mattered to me was not the fact that he was having a relationship with Brigitte, but is that he was alive and there weren't any problems.
- [61:37]
Bobby Bones
Now that.
- [61:38]
Lunchbox
That's shady as crap.
- [61:42]
Bobby Bones
I'm looking something up before I say it.
- [61:44]
Lunchbox
Yeah. By the way, we don't know anything. Don't sue me. I'm the gingerbread man. Yeah.
- [61:48]
Eddie
That's why I'm asking, like, how do these lawsuits come up? Like, can you just, like, be like, ah, this is funny. We're talking about it? And then.
- [61:53]
Lunchbox
But that wasn't what she was saying.
- [61:55]
Eddie
So she's going in and saying, like, no, no, I have proof.
- [61:57]
Lunchbox
She was saying, do a test, Prove it, Do a test.
- [62:00]
Eddie
Got it.
- [62:01]
Lunchbox
So also, defamation on a public figure, almost impossible. But if you knowingly are pushing something as fact that is not fact with malicious intent, then it can be defamation. But it is very, very hard to prove defamation toward a public figure.
- [62:21]
Raymundo
So why is. Maybe I'm oblivious to whatever is happening here with France. Why does Candace Owen want to go after them? What is the.
- [62:28]
Scuba Steve
Yeah, what's the point?
- [62:29]
Lunchbox
The point is she's making tons of money off views. Millions and millions and millions of views on YouTube. She's making tons of money and she's like, I got a story and it's making me a ton of money, and they're lying. So. Well, that's what reporters do.
- [62:42]
Raymundo
But is there, like, a reason to go after the France people for some reason?
- [62:46]
Lunchbox
I don't know what her initial motivation was. It just could have been curiosity or she heard it and was told, hey, there's a lie happening. If you want to chase this down, you can. I don't think she is out for any, like, fundamental reason to take them down for what they believe in or stand for or a different candidate. I think it's like. Like when a reporter takes, like, Watergate, for example, I don't think that they were Nixon haters. I think they saw something that wasn't true, chased it down because it wasn't true, and their job was to rapport and I think this is a version of that. I think she was just interested in it.
- [63:22]
Raymundo
I was just making sure there's not something political that I'm missing here. That's what I don't think so.
- [63:25]
Lunchbox
I mean, she could disagree with him politically, but I don't feel like it's politically motivated at all, even through watching the series. But she is. She has a show. It's like any show. You have to create compelling content.
- [63:35]
Scuba Steve
But doesn't that mean she's gonna lose the whole show? That's what I'm saying. Like, if it's not true, she's gonna lose everything.
- [63:41]
Lunchbox
But she's like, that guy. But she's saying it's true. She's saying, without a doubt, it's true.
- [63:46]
Scuba Steve
What's that guy's name?
- [63:47]
Bobby Bones
There is something more to it. I can't. It's been a minute since I watched any of this stuff, but there was. Let me. Let me look for. I have the idea in my head. I don't want to say it out loud, though, until. Let me look it up.
- [63:59]
Lunchbox
And I can tell you, in France, and there's these journalists. They, like, sued the journalists, and they didn't win that case. They didn't lose, and they didn't win. Who?
- [64:11]
Scuba Steve
The Mac. Grown people.
- [64:13]
Lunchbox
I believe that's true because, like, that.
- [64:15]
Scuba Steve
That Alex Jones guy, like, he kept.
- [64:16]
Lunchbox
Saying he lost billions of dollars.
- [64:18]
Scuba Steve
That's what I'm saying. Like, this is.
- [64:19]
Lunchbox
Well, he doesn't have it to pay. And she could be that if they're able to prove that she is wrong. And I think a blood test would do it. But also, it's like, you want to give your blood because somebody's just yelling some stuff about you.
- [64:30]
Eddie
It's ridiculous.
- [64:31]
Scuba Steve
But if it's gonna win you millions of dollars, I know it, and I.
- [64:33]
Lunchbox
Don'T even think they care about the millions of dollars. There has been an unfounded rumor, completely unfounded. Don't know if it's true that they offered her, like, 4 million bucks to stop talking about it.
- [64:42]
Eddie
Oh, I would take that. You got it.
- [64:44]
Lunchbox
But that means making more than that by doing 4 million. And I don't know that that. That is true. That is from an unverified source that I read online.
- [64:54]
Eddie
But going with that unverified source, like.
- [64:56]
Lunchbox
I take it, by the way, everything is unverified. That I'm saying.
- [64:59]
Eddie
Yes, yes, yes.
- [65:00]
Bobby Bones
Wait, is she. Has Candace allegedly also said that he was placed in power as part of a CIA plot? Okay.
- [65:07]
Lunchbox
I believe she said, going from memory, much like we had that. The Harvard. The Unabomber was in that program. Yeah, it's letters, that same kind of program there. So who knows? I don't. French President Emmanuel Macron and the first lady filed a lawsuit more than a year after Owens initially made headlines for promoting the false claim that Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean Michael Trenau. Trenau is Brigitte's older brother. The lawsuit alleges that since March 2024, Owens repeatedly used a false statement to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety and make money, all while disregarding all credible evidence disproving her claim. The legal complaint said that after the McCrones requested a retraction, Owens retaliated by releasing an eight part podcast series called Becoming Brigitte. It's wild. Like, I am dialed in because she is either the greatest actor ever or she really believes it or that it's really true. If I were to bet money, I would think, no, it's not true. But I don't know. But man, she believes it. And she's smart. May not agree with her, but she's, yeah, really intelligent. This is from Snopes. France didn't offer Candace Owens millions to stop spreading rumor that Brigitte Macaron is trans.
- [66:35]
Eddie
Did not.
- [66:35]
Lunchbox
Yes, this is what Snopes says and also says France didn't offer. Who knows how this can be dissected. It could have been somebody else. It could have been. Not at all. In March 2025, a rumor began to spread that France had offered conservative commenter Candace Owens millions of dollars to stop spreading the rumor that France's first lady, Brigitte Macron, was a trans woman. For example, an Instagram user posted a video with the rumor that the European country would grant her $50,000 a month if she stopped. And they show the account. That's also how stupid rumors get started, too. It is a crazy story and I'm following along just to see because she has. Doubled is not even the word I say double down. Like, she went right back. She was like, great, let's go. Discovery.
- [67:18]
Eddie
All in.
- [67:19]
Lunchbox
She thinks she's. Yeah. She said that she will put her professional reputation on the line because she believes it so much, but which is.
- [67:30]
Eddie
Like, well, it's just the same based on this, right?
- [67:32]
Lunchbox
Like, oh, no. Yeah, that's. It's wild. I'm interested. I wouldn't be interested in the story itself because I kind of don't care about Francis President and what he does in his personal life and what she does if she. Who I don't care that much. As long as you're not hurting people. But now I'm just so interested in the dynamic. Here you have a president of a foreign country suing us, suing her in America. She is so sure of it. They're saying it's not true. I'm just like, popcorn. Is that popcorn? So there's that. I'll give you one more. If you expect happily ever after, you won't live happily ever after. From the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Researchers interviewed thousands of couples and found that realistic expectations lead to happier marriages. Couples with high high hopes but low relationship skills become the most disappointed if the marriage didn't live up to the expectations. Couples that went into the marriage expecting some issues, some arguments, and things not to go as planned were more prepared to communicate better and laugh things off. What I would call this is the Happy Go More to effect.
- [68:38]
Bobby Bones
Explain what is that?
- [68:41]
Lunchbox
I hoped Happy Gilmore would be awesome. Happy Gilmore 2. Because I loved the first one so much. But I told myself, I'm gonna enjoy it for what it is. It can't be as good as the original, but whatever it happens, I'm gonna find the good parts and the parts that are just stupid. I'm gonna be like, you know, I got into this with no real expectation, but the hope for great, but no expectation. And I came out of that movie loving it. I loved it. And I loved it because my expectations, like, I had no up in the cloud expectations, but I was going to take what it gave me because I committed to watching it and enjoy it for what it was. And you know what? I really liked it. Now, if I'd gone into it being like, this is going to be the greatest freaking movie ever, because we're Talking about it 20 years, everybody, I wouldn't have liked it at all. So I call it the Happy Go more to effect.
- [69:29]
Bobby Bones
That makes sense.
- [69:31]
Lunchbox
I think science is calling that, too now.
- [69:32]
Eddie
Oh, yeah, Officially.
- [69:34]
Lunchbox
So Candace Owens just said it's not called that.
- [69:37]
Eddie
Oh, so then it's not.
- [69:38]
Lunchbox
It's not. Yeah. Okay, now I got a sewer. All right, we're done. Thank you, guys. We'll see you Monday. Amy, anything?
- [69:49]
Bobby Bones
No. Oh, my son's going to see. I'm moving tonight. I might go with him. But, Bobby, you've been going to movies.
- [69:57]
Lunchbox
Yeah. Five weeks, and five movies in five weeks.
- [70:00]
Eddie
It's amazing.
- [70:01]
Bobby Bones
Wait, let me see what they're gonna see tonight.
- [70:03]
Lunchbox
They call me Blockbuster Bobby, but.
- [70:04]
Eddie
And you hadn't been to a movie theater in how long?
- [70:06]
Lunchbox
Years. And only once in all those Years. It'd been, like, years before I'd been Barbie, and then years since Barbie.
- [70:13]
Morgan
Oh, yeah, Barbie.
- [70:14]
Lunchbox
So, like, one movie in, like, seven years. But Blockbuster. Bobby's just a dude.
- [70:17]
Bobby Bones
He just goes to the movies now. You're like, movie guy. But he's gonna go see bad guys, too, so I might go with him.
- [70:24]
Lunchbox
Bad guys?
- [70:25]
Bobby Bones
He's the one with his girlfriends. And then maybe.

It's supposed to be cute, so. But I don't know if he wants me to go because his girlfriend's going.
- [70:40]
Lunchbox
No, he doesn't want you to go.
- [70:42]
Eddie
Wait, your son has a girlfriend? That's awesome. I didn't know that.
- [70:45]
Lunchbox
Yeah, but he doesn't want you to go.
- [70:47]
Bobby Bones
How do you know? I mean, I'm. I agree. I think. Maybe not, but.
- [70:51]
Eddie
And they're going on a date, Amy.
- [70:52]
Bobby Bones
It's not just them. Like, the. His girlfriend's brother's going and then some other girl.
- [70:56]
Lunchbox
Anybody's mom or dad going.
- [71:00]
Bobby Bones
Not that I know of.
- [71:01]
Eddie
Then you can't go.
- [71:02]
Bobby Bones
But it. Apparently, it's not a double date because the brother. The other girl that's going is not the brother's girlfriend. It's just like. So.
- [71:08]
Lunchbox
But are there any other moms or dads going? Or guardians of any. No.
- [71:14]
Eddie
Has he mentioned, like, hey, mom, you want to come at all? Like.
- [71:17]
Lunchbox
Or he's like, I just might go with you. I'll just walk in behind you.
- [71:21]
Bobby Bones
Okay, I get it. I probably shouldn't go. He just knows I've wanted to see it.
- [71:24]
Lunchbox
So you've been wanting to see bad guys, too?
- [71:26]
Eddie
No, you have not.

Therapy I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indication that you could benefit from talking to somebody.

Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty.
