The group discusses her next steps, shares favorite Morgan memories, and reflects on change within the show.

1. Most Expensive Weddings in History

[02:14–08:06]

• Bobby introduces a list of the world’s most extravagant weddings; Morgan jokes hers is not (yet) on the list.
  • “They made a list of the most expensive weddings in history. Morgan’s isn’t on here yet because she hasn’t had hers yet.” – Bobby [02:14]
  • “I don’t know if I’ll make that list. Hopefully not.” – Morgan [02:21]
• Breaks down costs and highlights celebrity/international weddings, including Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce (#9) and two billion-dollar weddings in India and Russia.
• Observes weddings are financially overblown; Morgan reflects that even a “normal” wedding feels expensive.
  • “Money just goes out the door quickly.” – Morgan [06:56]
  • Bobby notes how vendors inflate prices for weddings: “They also upcharge everything because it's a wedding...rent chairs for an assembly versus a wedding—they know they can charge you more.” [07:42]

---

2. Cameo Side Hustle: Pros, Cons, & Show Banter

[08:14–16:34]

• Kids become obsessed with Cameo after watching custom celeb videos.
• Team debates the economics and stress of making Cameos.
  • Ray describes the sudden influx and timing challenges: “When I am bored on my patio...I have no cameos. When I have my nephew in town, when I'm about to get on a plane...I will get 10 cameos at the most inopportune time.” [12:51]
  • Confirms Cameo takes a 25% cut, clarifies payout rates [10:16].
• Bobby gently mocks the group’s side-hustle aspirations; some joke about setting ultra-high prices like Snoop Dogg to avoid excess work.
  • “Snoop is $5,000. He’s got a 4.91 rating.” – Bobby [15:19]
  • “Maybe I set mine at, like, $1,000, and I never have to do it, unless that one person...”“ – Lunchbox [15:11]

---

3. Ray’s Papa Shot Tournament—Travel, TV, & Team Support

[16:45–24:11]

• Ray prepares to leave for a national Papa Shot (basketball arcade game) tournament, set to air on ESPN+.
  • Scuba Steve and the team discuss the logistics, potential TV time, nerves, and hoping Ray participates in postgame interviews.
• Banter about the competition, support for Ray, and technical details (machine prices, practice, etc.).
  • “Look for a white hat, look for headphones...when they’re doing the over-the-top flyover…that’s all you’re gonna be able to see me from.” – Ray [19:48]

---

4. Tipping Tales: Was Eddie Scammed?

[24:47–29:25]

• Eddie shares a story about tipping an extra $10 after a server shares a sob story before the bill.
  • “I just started this job two days ago, and they're calling me dumb…we should tip her better.” – Eddie [24:54]

  • Amy’s take: “You had sucker written on your forehead. You fell for it, hook, line, and sinker—got scammed.” [26:09]
  • Bobby argues that manipulating for tips is risky, as it might make customers uncomfortable.

---

5. Family, Parenting, and Public Etiquette

[27:18–30:24]

• Lunchbox recounts dining at a sports bar with his kids, where patrons and bartenders were cursing.
• The group covers whether he should have intervened; consensus is that parenting requires adapting to unpredictable public spaces, and confronting sometimes isn’t worth the risk or the embarrassment.
  • “If you're taking your kids to a sports bar in the evening, keyword bar..." – Bobby [28:44]
  • “Imagine someone is drunk and…they punch you in the face and you get knocked out...You can't even go back home.” – Bobby [29:10]

---

6. Morgan’s Final Words: Reflection, Farewell, and What’s Next

[34:24–74:24]

Morgan’s Goodbye & Immediate Plans

• Morgan is dressed in black: “The death of me being on the show.” – Morgan [34:24]
• Talks about sleeping in, going for a long walk, and taking extended rest as her first plans.
  • “I'm feeling a lot of burnout, so I need some break. I need some breather.” – Morgan [36:09]
• Her wedding is in September; bachelorette trip soon. She won't say exactly what her next professional steps will be—no job lined up but considering possibilities.
• Dreams of traveling, possibly moving closer to mountains; open to unexpected change.
  • “Honestly, everything is open right now…I just have to figure out what comes next.” – Morgan [47:47, 54:43, 57:20]

Group Reflection on Morgan’s Tenure

Favorite Morgan Moments

• Mispronunciations (e.g., “Nestle” as “Nessel”) [58:34].
• The infamous Dustin Lynch friendship bracelet—awkward and bold [62:07; 63:02].
• Her technical help, athletic abilities, and being the “MVP” at events and on the show (including the Bobby Bones cruise).
  • “She was MVP of the cruise, responsible—make sure everything was taken care of, get stuff done. And also was there.” – Bobby [66:00]
• Team debates her “highly intelligent” label, referencing trivia gaffes [56:16].

Sentimental Goodbyes (Selected Quotes & Timestamps)

• “Thank you for taking a chance on me...Being in this room with you for all those years...thank you will never be enough.” – Morgan to Bobby [68:13]
• “Amy, being the only two girls in this room with all these hooligans, you have been a lifeline for me.” – Morgan [68:44]

• “Our texting streak is coming to a close…and for that and all the many conversations...I am so grateful.” – Morgan to Eddie [69:33]
• “Abby...you felt like my little piece of home that was always wrapping me in a hug.” – Morgan [70:54]

The Big Question: Is Anyone Else Leaving?

• Group jokingly accuses Morgan of “using” the show to find a husband. Amy asks, “Do you feel used?” – Amy [41:47]
• Bobby: “Even if that were the case, that was a ten-year use. I'm okay with that—she played the long game...” [42:11]
• Abby, Amy reflect on whether they’d consider leaving if life circumstances changed, leading to a humorous, honest conversation about life, work, and the demands of the job.
• Everyone admits they ponder change when confronted with a big departure.

What’s Next for Morgan?

• Uncertain: rest, maybe travel, still doing her podcast, maybe moving to the mountains or trying new things.
  • “I just gotta keep a roof over my head and take care of my animals, and that's kind of my big priority right now. So I have saved up enough to take care of myself so I can figure out what comes next, and I'm thankful for that.” – Morgan [54:43]
• The team imagines their own escape plans if they left: Florida, Colorado, Austin, or “nowhere—I'm not leaving my property for life, baby.” [72:35]

---

7. Closing Moments: Team Love, Morgan’s Farewell Notes, & Legacy

[68:12–74:24]

• The show’s OGs reminisce about early days and the rarity of turnover.

  • “Everybody here stays. You come in and you get jumped in, and nobody wants to get jumped out. So we got to beat her up after the show.” – Bobby [73:51]

• Show ends with a nervous, bittersweet sense of change, but the team reassures Morgan—and themselves—that she’ll always be part of their family and history.

---

• Bobby (on being used): “Even if that were the case, that was a ten-year use and I'm okay with that because that's not really being used.” [42:11]
• Morgan (farewell): “Thank you for taking a chance on me...You took me under your wing many times and pushed me through limits I thought I had.” [68:13]
• Lunchbox (if he’d leave): “Oh yeah. Florida, here I come...I'll just say pack your bags, we’re going to Florida.” [71:52]

[Lunchbox]

This is Bobby Bones Show.

[Bobby Bones]

They made a list of the most expensive weddings in history. Morgan's isn't on here yet because she hasn't had hers yet.

[Lunchbox]

She hasn't paid yet.

[Morgan]

I don't know if I'll make that list. Hopefully not.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of these are crazy. The Taylor and Travis came in at number nine if that tells you how wow crazy some of these weddings are. But at number 10 was Kate Middleton and Prince William in 2011 around $45 million for that wedding. And then I wonder, too, who's paying for that? Is it the people? The people?

[Abby]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Because the budget's different.

[Abby]

If you ain't paying Kate's parents, they

[Bobby Bones]

ain't paying 45 cents.

[Abby]

I'm just kidding.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Nine is Taylor and Travis. I did an interview with Little Big Town. It's going to be on next week's Bobby Cast. I never even asked him about going to Taylor's wedding.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, they were there. Yeah, I saw the pictures.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I never asked him because I didn't want to put in the position to go. Like I. We can't talk about it. Because I'm sure they can't talk about it. Mike, did you think about that? Yeah, I figured they couldn't. Like, what were they going to say to me? Yeah, we can't say much. That's the thing that happened.

[Abby]

We got a handkerchief.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Abby]

Or a napkin or what.

[Bobby Bones]

Number eight. Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos in Venice. $56 million for that wedding. Did they fly everybody out there privately themselves?

[Lunchbox]

I think that's what we read.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if you have that much money and you're inviting 100 people, you probably get them all jets, right? It's like a bus here. You bus people in if you're a celebrity, but if you're them, you go to Italy and plane everybody in. You don't remember.

[Lunchbox]

Mm.

[Abby]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. 60 million. Then we get to the big ones, and I don't know these people. Letizia Ortiz, Roca Solano and Prince Felipe in Madrid, Spain. $62 million for their wedding.

[Abby]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Number five. Venetia Mital and Amit Bahita in France. 106 million.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know who they are. It sounds like they live quite the life, though, Is that. That's got to be oil money, right? Yeah, that kind of money or something. Isha Ambani and Anand Paramal in Mumbai, India. 133 million for their wedding. Here's what I know. Lady Di and Prince Charles. 176 million.

[Abby]

Geez.

[Bobby Bones]

In 1981.

[Abby]

176. And then.

[Lunchbox]

And then 81.

[Abby]

Kate and Prince William were 45 million.

[Bobby Bones]

49. And Meghan Markle and Harry were 60. Lady Di and Prince Charles. $176 million. That is wild. Okay, number two. Rodhika Merchant and Anant Ambani. One billion.

[Lunchbox]

Where are they from?

[Bobby Bones]

I would assume India. It said Mumbai, India, 2024. I don't know if they're just really Rich people that grew up with a lot of money or if they're famous, but they spent a billion dollars on their wedding. He is the son of the richest man in Asia. Anant.

[Lunchbox]

Yep. I don't even know how you spend that money.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think you give everybody a million for coming. Okay, that would be the startles way to give. Wow. And number one, Khadija Uzhakova and Sed Gutersiev in Moscow, Russia. 1.4 billion.

[Abby]

So what do they do?

[Bobby Bones]

Insurance, sales, the oil and media fortune. Yeah. How do you spend $1.4 billion on a single thing?

[Lunchbox]

I don't get it.

[Abby]

I don't know. I mean, are you maybe. Are you buying money?

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying. You're just give out money to spend that kind of money. The wedding dress alone was $1 million.

[Abby]

But still, Bobby, you've explained to us many times the difference between millions and billions. And it's like,

[Bobby Bones]

do you buy everybody a plane that you fly them in? And then they had performances from Jennifer Lopez, Sting and Enrique.

[Abby]

Okay, but they're what, a million each? Like, we haven't even scratched the surface. Are we serving lobster man?

[Lunchbox]

If you're one of the vendors or like one of the people making the cake, you're like, yes, we're the ones. They're gonna pay us millions for this cake.

[Bobby Bones]

That's from visual capitalist, who wrote the article. But it's crazy. A billion dollar wedding. I mean, all of that's crazy. Even the 10th, the $50 million one is crazy. But it's nothing. Whenever you read a billion dollar one, where do you land on this list? Morgan?

[Morgan]

Bottom barrel? Somewhere way at the bottom.

[Abby]

We are.

[Morgan]

We aren't even cracking. I don't even think we'd even crack a list. But honestly, it's still expensive. Even what I'm spending. We look at the money of that and my parents and him, and you start to add up all the pieces, and, man, money just goes out the door quickly.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And on things that you feel like you need to do until after it's over, you don't really have the knowledge of it until it's over. Then after it's over, you go, oh, we really didn't need to do that on invitations. We really did. But you don't know. You kind of. You don't know until you know.

[Morgan]

No. And honestly, once you book something, you're kind of in it. You can't really, like, go back on it. There's no, like, oh, never mind. That's too Expensive. Or maybe we'll try something else. It's like once you put a deposit in, you are set in until it's over.

[Bobby Bones]

They also upcharge everything because it's a wedding, so everything costs a little more just because it's a wedding. It's not even that. It's you or anybody specific. If you're going to rent chairs for an assembly versus if you're going to rent chairs for a wedding, they know they can charge you more because the wedding is more important. And they'll go, yeah, there's somebody else who wants these chairs, too. They're having a wedding on the same day. You better get on them now. They'll get you. Weddings are crazy.

[Morgan]

That wedding word, man, I tried really hard to say, oh, it's just a party, it's just a party, as many times as I could, but they will still get you.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a birthday where I'm wearing a white dress. Right, Eddie, your kids want cameos for their birthdays now?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because the cameos you sent me when I went to Puerto Rico, apparently they got on my phone and watched all the cameos over and over and over to the point where there's a song that William Hung sings. He says, you can do it what you want to be. And they sing that all day long.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a hymn song or is that. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. Like, I don't know if that's one of his songs or what, but they love it. So now they've been looking at cameo. They're like, I want a cameo for my birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of them are so expensive.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I know. And the ones that they want are expensive. They want the athletes, the big athletes. Big athletes. You got, like. Well, I mean, to them, they're big, but, like, you know, I think they saw Amon St. Brown, Amon Ross, St. Brown. And he was like, he's a receiver for the Detroit Lions. And he was like, $400. I'm like, sorry, guys, we're not gonna get him.

[Bobby Bones]

Where they get you is you say, I'm getting this for a wedding. And they go, oh, my God, let's find out $500. But where they get you really, is you buy it, and then you do overnight, you want it 24 hours, or they make you wait a week. It can come anytime during the week. And if you get to 24 hours, it's another like, $100.

[Lunchbox]

And maybe I'll get him Raymundo or something. Something more affordable.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Ray, did you get Any interest from you doing those cameos from when I bought and talked about you?

[Ray]

Yeah, a little too much. They stress me out just because.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean too much? Why not just be like, this is awesome. Thanks for talking about it. That's easy work.

[Ray]

Thank you. But with my current job and also training for Papa Shot, it was a lot at once.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

How many did you do after we talked about it on the show?

[Ray]

10. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And do you split the money? 50. 50 with cameo?

[Ray]

Oh, they definitely take a portion, but I just shoot it to my wife.

[Abby]

Oh, it can't. They can't take 50, can they?

[Lunchbox]

They could.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Abby]

I mean, I guess they could, but that.

[Ray]

Yeah, I do believe they do.

[Bobby Bones]

They're hosting. They're hosting it all. It's all their infrastructure. I don't know that it's 50, but I could understand that it's a partnership.

[Ray]

Yeah, it is. Because I think you said it was 40 for mine, and then I believe I get 20. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Cameo takes a 25% commission from every standard video the celebrity or creator keeps 75%. So did you do. Did you know?

[Ray]

I. I mean, you said that you paid 40 for mine because I paid

[Bobby Bones]

for the 24 hours. It's 20. You're 29.

[Ray]

Then maybe I got 26. It just depends on what app they buy it on and if it's there. It's different amounts depending on where exactly you saw the cameo ad or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't want people buying cameos

[Ray]

from, you know, at this time. I mean, is Tom Brady going to do cameos during the Super Bowl? No, he's not.

[Abby]

Oh, he's. He's dialed in.

[Ray]

Yes. And people are going to hit me up.

[Bobby Bones]

Easy money. Why would you not say yes? Go to Cameo and buy my cameo. Lift your price. 10 bucks.

[Ray]

Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to be in Vegas worrying about the Papa Shot, focus locked in, and I'm going to get 10 cameos. 24 hours. And I have a tournament I got to plan and I got to get on an airplane, which makes it almost impossible to do it in 24 hours. Drives me nuts.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the easiest money I've ever heard of. You do a two minute video for $26.

[Ray]

Yeah. And you want to have good scenery behind you. So I'm going to have to walk out of the hotel. I'm in the 110 degree heat.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have to do that.

[Ray]

You don't have to do any of that I'm not going to do it in a dirty hotel room.

[Amy]

Hey, guys.

[Ray]

You wanted me.

[Lunchbox]

You're.

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of hotel room are you in?

[Ray]

I mean, you got the sheets on the background all over the place. It's. I'm not going to do that. I want stuff behind. I want the palm trees. I want the city depending on where I am.

[Bobby Bones]

So people don't buy a cameo from Ray today.

[Ray]

Please don't.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. That's money you're leaving on the table, Ray.

[Scuba Steve]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

This is going to make people do it. He doesn't even know that people are going to now want cameos from Ray because they're so in demand.

[Lunchbox]

And, Ray, you did mine from a hotel room, so. What are you talking about?

[Ray]

Yeah, that one was at Opryland. I felt like it was pretty behind me where I was able to fake like I was in Puerto Rico. I was able to, like, play out some act with you.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Ray]

I always try to put something different. I'm not never going to do it in my bedroom. Some. I've seen people do them before. They literally wake up and film them. I'm going to put forth some effort. I. I'm going to have already taken a shower. I want to feel like I'm on top of my game when I do a cameo. I never do them half asleep. May do them a couple drinks in. But I have standards for myself when it comes to cameo.

[Bobby Bones]

So don't order one from Ray today.

[Ray]

Please don't. But they are. And I'm going to wake up Saturday morning from the hotel. All right. It's game day. Boom. Ten cameos. And it's. It's the same thing. It's over and over. Does. Does Tom Brady's wife tell him, hey, I need you to do chores on your game day of the Super Bowl? No, she doesn't. She respects his privacy.

[Lunchbox]

He's not married anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, it's good money. Do you not need money? Are you good.

[Ray]

It is good money, but I'm just.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you good on money? Like, you don't need any money?

[Ray]

Here's Amy. Let me say this. The beauty, the funniest thing about cameo is when I am bored on my patio not doing anything in the world, I have no cameos. When I have my nephew in town, when I'm about to get on a plane, when I'm about to play in a massive basketball tournament, I will get 10 cameos. At the moment. Inopportune time. I almost wish I could put a little time scale of when people can Send them to me, and when I do them, so. And I actually should contact Cameo and tell them that, because these things fly in at 1am and then it'll be, like, 24 hours. Well, guess what? We have a live radio show until 1. I have to take a nap. I have to commute in traffic. You can't be on your phone. So I have about a window of an hour to do however many cameos, and it drives me nuts.

[Bobby Bones]

No crying on the yacht. No crying on the yacht. That's the easiest money.

[Ray]

The second I land from a vacation, the second I get on a plane going to Jamaica, I will get five cameos. And so then, guess what? I'm traveling in a plane, but it doesn't matter.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome. I would love any of that.

[Abby]

Sounds like spending money for your Jamaican vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

He doesn't need money.

[Ray]

No, I do need the money.

[Morgan]

You're making me want to do it.

[Abby]

Can I share my ideas, a phrase? Done. Okay. Eddie should do cameo, and he can take. This is like a side hustle where that's the money he gets to invest.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Amy. I'm so busy, though, and after hearing

[Bobby Bones]

Ray, I feel like it sounds, like, terrible.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, I don't want to be stressed out.

[Abby]

But, Eddie, you could charge. I mean, think about it. You could have. Well, I don't know how often cameos come in.

[Bobby Bones]

I just don't want anybody fighting about doing. It's also, I don't want anybody screaming, I do cameo.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't really want to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

If you guys want to do it, great.

[Abby]

I was just thinking, there's the idea. He could find investment. He wants money to invest.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I want to retire. At some point, maybe I retire because of my cameos.

[Abby]

The way Eddie wants to retire and win, he needs to start diversifying his buckets. He needs more buckets.

[Lunchbox]

I need more buckets. I think the salsa is happening right now.

[Abby]

Okay, that's a bucket.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a bucket.

[Lunchbox]

That's a bucket.

[Abby]

That's a bucket.

[Lunchbox]

But there's also, like, the whole Snoop Dogg thing, right? Doesn't he charge, like, $1,000 and then $5,000? 5,000. Meaning he really doesn't want to do it. But if somebody's willing to pay 5,000, he'll do one a year. You know what I mean? Like, I can also.

[Ray]

One a year.

[Bobby Bones]

He's done over two. He's made over a million dollars in just reviews.

[Lunchbox]

So maybe I set mine at, like, 1,000.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh.

[Lunchbox]

And I never have to do it unless that One person's like, ah, I got the money.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Snoop is $5,000. He's got a 4.91 rating.

[Lunchbox]

That's crazy.

[Abby]

Okay, Eddie does make a point, like, set it high. And if someone wants to pay that. I mean, I don't think you do a thousand, but if you set it high, it's like, okay, Occasionally, if one random, huge, crazy fan comes along, like,

[Lunchbox]

a billionaire's wife wants it, he's like, I'm a billionaire. Just pay him the $500. And I'll be like, yes, that's my one a year.

[Abby]

Bobby, you could. I know you need.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, dude, you would have a bucket.

[Abby]

You don't need it, but it's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't also have other buckets fighting about getting your cameos promoted. Well, I just know how this goes. I've run this operation here for 100 years.

[Lunchbox]

We also don't want you to get stressed out, like Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not doing cameo. I'm saying Ray's doing it. Lunchbox doing it. You're doing it. You're all fighting about who's getting the cameos.

[Lunchbox]

That's kind of why I haven't done it.

[Abby]

Well, be on your own to promote it. Like, you don't have to do the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh?

[Abby]

He said, like, y' all don't have to fight about saying it here. Don't say it here. Promote it on your own, because then you don't disrupt here.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I'll sleep on it. I've never really been interested in that.

[Abby]

Okay, but I'm interested in. You're right. You have the salsa bucket. You gotta find some buckets. Like, I'm just trying to think, like, it'd be. Well, you. You're. You'll figure it out.

[Bobby Bones]

You all right over there?

[Abby]

Yeah. I mean. Cause I. Obviously Cameron's been around a while. I guess if he wanted to do it, he would have done it a long time ago.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but Ray doesn't want to do it. And he's still doing it, though.

[Lunchbox]

And I've seen the lunchbox with his little happy birthday hat, and it just looks stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Ray, you're leaving today to go play basketball. Yeah, you dialed in.

[Ray]

I will be when I get on the flight. I'm still. I got niece and nephew at the house. We got Bazer giving me chores and stuff before I go. And she doesn't realize this is a massive basketball tournament, but the second I stepped foot in Vegas, step foot on the plane, completely different ball game.

[Bobby Bones]

You take a little Ball with you.

[Ray]

Yeah, I will just. It'll be funnier on the videos. And they actually drum up a lot of questions. When me and Scuba were doing it, this one, even the TSA people, the lady goes, what do you guys have with those little balls? Is it something dirty? Who would think that just carrying around Papa Shop balls would create conversations? So then we go, oh, no, it's an adult tournament where you play with mini balls. And she goes, okay, you guys are good. Continue through security. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're not on till 8pm Central Time.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Tomorrow night on ESPN.

[Ray]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

And we don't know if you're on TV though.

[Abby]

No, he will be.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Scuba Steve]

No, he definitely will be in that two hour span if he loses the first round. I mean, they're broadcasting the whole thing is I had a meeting with a lady who's part of Papa Shot and it's a whole live event and they're talking about how they're gonna have all these different players featured. He will. He will definitely make it on espn. Even if he is out in the first round, he'll be on there. And they even talked about how they're gonna be doing like post game interviews and stuff. And raise, I guess doesn't want to do it, but I think he should be a part of that process.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't get him started. He doesn't want to do it. He's busy.

[Lunchbox]

You don't want to stress him out.

[Bobby Bones]

Interviews.

[Scuba Steve]

But if he loses, like, why not talk about it? Like, hey, go out there and talk about your experience and everything.

[Ray]

Correct. And I will be good sport. And I will do those. But I did tell the lady at Papa Shot, I said, when I was in Chicago, I want to admit to you I was a poor sport. Because she goes, hey, we may have some of these videos. It's going to be some. I don't know, something's coming out on YouTube from the Chicago qualifier. And she goes, and you'll be in it because you did the interviews, right? And I said, no, I didn't do the postgame interviews. When I got placed 16th and I wasn't included, I said, no, I didn't do any interviews. I don't understand how these NBA players are able to do them. Maybe they get paid for them. Maybe it's in their contract.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they have to do them after they lose.

[Ray]

That is the worst thing ever is the last thing you want to do

[Bobby Bones]

is talk a shot. You didn't lose the playoff like that.

[Ray]

I was so mad, I wouldn't talk to Scuba until we went to Jordan's restaurant. It's. To have a microphone shoved in your face after you lose is a bizarre thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, we'll be watching. I was thinking about having, I don't know, people over.

[Lunchbox]

Is that what you're going to say?

[Ray]

You got to be careful because you just. You just don't know how much of a broadcast presence I'm going to have on there. Heck, maybe tell them I'll do a play by play or something like that. Other than that, how they're going to fit.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. I don't know them, though.

[Ray]

Yeah, well, I don't think they're controlling it. It's espn. What do they think is interesting?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't know how they're gonna get everybody on either, but hopefully they put you on. But we'll be watching. I was thinking about. It's just late.

[Lunchbox]

It is late. Eight, eight our time. Eight to ten. That's late.

[Ray]

Look for a white hat. Look for headphones. Other than that, when they're doing the over the top flyover, that's all you're gonna be able to see me from.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you guys outside?

[Ray]

No, no, we're inside the Palms Hotel. But I'm sure they're gonna do to just show how massive of an event it is. The flyover cam. Boom. Maybe a drone inside, but.

[Lunchbox]

But you don't know any of this. You're just.

[Ray]

I'm just trying to picture it. You're. I mean, you're a video guy. Do they have capabilities, I wonder. ESPN plus you got drones.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, they probably got inside drones.

[Amy]

Scoop.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sad you can't go?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I'm a little bummed because we. I've been part of the journey from the beginning, and it's something that Ray and I have been excited about since December of last year. So, yeah, a little bummed. But I am looking forward to next year's season because.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you're gonna get back in it.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, dude, I.

[Bobby Bones]

This.

[Scuba Steve]

When I was in Vegas, I cracked. All I wanted to do was crack a hundred. I knew I wasn't going to be shooting like Ray because Ray practices every day as a machine, but I was. I just want to crack 100. And I went well past 100. And so I see myself having a future and a contender in next season based on just that one game.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of these guys, I'm watching their videos, they're really good.

[Ray]

Yeah. What you got to think, they're in their basement. I mean, they're in their grundies.

[Scuba Steve]

But some of the videos you're watching, though, they're playing on a different machine. So it's a. It's an unfair advantage from the machine that they use at the tournaments, so. So they may score 200 points, but when they come up on the real machine, they're getting like 120, 130.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm watching them on the real machines, the ones you guys are playing on. One guy had one ball in both hands, is nailing both of them.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, he's doing it at home, but try seeing them in Chicago or somewhere else, they choke. They're getting 100.

[Lunchbox]

That's Spider, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I put a message on the Instagram. I was like, where? Sizzle Raimundo? And they replied, we'll try to get to him.

[Ray]

Yeah, and I screwed up on that one. They DM'd me.

[Bobby Bones]

They were highlighting different people in the tournament, and I said, where's Citizen Raimundo? And he was nowhere to be found.

[Lunchbox]

So they DM'd you, Ray. But you didn't see it or what?

[Ray]

They said, hey, if you have any video footage of you shooting, shooting, send it to us. We want to include you in a carousel. Saw it 24 hours too late.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm also working on getting us a machine here in the building.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Scuba Steve]

That'd be kind of fun for us to play around with and, like, maybe have a tournament, like, internally.

[Lunchbox]

Well, maybe we all get good and shoot in the 150s, dude.

[Scuba Steve]

We're all competitive. Maybe next year we all go together.

[Amy]

It's a good trip.

[Bobby Bones]

Good luck, Ray.

[Ray]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, Ray. Sometimes when I'm at Dave and Buster's, sometimes the machine doesn't feed you balls fast enough.

[Scuba Steve]

That's crap.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but you ever have that problem, like, with these good machines?

[Ray]

Now with these good ones, baby, those balls always get fed to you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, watch Ray tomorrow night on ESPN plus as he goes for the championship. 64 to 1.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Where do you need to finish for you to feel like you were successful? First stop. If you finished eighth, that's still awesome.

[Ray]

You know, I've been playing Papashot in this city for 10 years. Then I learned this year how to play with the smaller balls. Got a machine and was able to practice.

[Bobby Bones]

It's your first tournament ever.

[Ray]

I don't care. I'm. If I don't get first, I'm going to be pretty depressed. I already moved my flight up. I said, I'm not sticking around in that city. If I Get first. Yeah. Cool. Maybe there's an after party, but I'm getting the heck out of there.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you imagine how cool the afterparty is at a papa shot?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. With just Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

No, with all the guys.

[Ray]

No, they said drinks, everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Chaos. Yeah, that's real. Real vibe.

[Ray]

Well, they're all seasoned people in their careers, so I'm sure there's some advice going around. It's not. Yeah, there. There's definitely problem. And these people can afford the machines, so I would imagine a lot of these people are millionaires. A $10,000 machine. Do you have one?

[Bobby Bones]

You probably put on a credit card if you can't afford it. What do you mean, do I. No, I don't have one. I don't want one.

[Lunchbox]

This machine's $10,000.

[Ray]

Yeah. Six.

[Scuba Steve]

Six. Six and change.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

You know Ray with numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

It hits me with.

[Ray]

Do you have one?

[Lunchbox]

He rounded up to 10.6.6.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a story about which male celebrities do women want. Is there a free pass? If you were to get a free pass.

[Abby]

So who's. I mean, who.

[Bobby Bones]

What male celebrity would you pick?

[Abby]

See, Ryan Gosling.

[Bobby Bones]

The number ones were Ryan's.

[Abby]

Oh, but mine's Ryan Gosling, not Ryan Reynolds.

[Bobby Bones]

Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds are the most frequent choices for this kind of fantasy relationship. Ryan Gosling is cited as a top pick because of his good looks, romantic roles, and the ways perceived as charming. Ryan Reynolds because people appreciate his humor, family values, and relatable personality.

[Abby]

Not me.

[Bobby Bones]

You think that recent stuff hurt him?

[Abby]

No, I've just never been a Ryan Reynolds person. But Gosling. Yes. What about that? He's kind of newer on the scene. He was Glenn Powell. Glenn Powell. He seems too young for me, but I was gonna say George Burgess. Old fraternity little brother.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. He's 37.

[Abby]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, perfect. Amy.

[Morgan]

Glen Powell.

[Bobby Bones]

You've been with Younger.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Abby]

That guy's probably 40, 37 now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, now.

[Bobby Bones]

So Eddie thinks he may have been got by a server.

[Lunchbox]

It's all.

[Abby]

A server?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, at the restaurant.

[Abby]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

What happened?

[Lunchbox]

So we went out to eat, and right before the bill came, like, we were just like, wow, the server's taking a while to come out with that bill. I wonder what's going on. Well, she shows up and she says, oh, I'm so sorry. It took me forever to come back. I just got into a fight with one of my co workers in the kitchen. He called me dumb. And it's just been that kind of day. And I just started this job two Days ago, and they're calling me dumb. And it just. This is so hard for me. And my wife and I look at each other, we're like, oh, this is so sad. We should tip her better.

[Bobby Bones]

Tough day for the server. Yeah, make it a little better.

[Lunchbox]

So we tipped her better. We tipped her, like, 25 bucks on something that should have been like, you know, 15. So let's go 10 bucks more. 25 bucks. And then after she left, I started thinking, like, hold on. Did we get got? Like, did she just make up that whole story right before the check comes in to get a tip? And I shouldn't be thinking like that, but my mind went there.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, thoughts.

[Abby]

I mean, I'm just gonna go ahead and choose to believe her. I think just that's what you have to do and know that you did the right thing. Either way, that 10 bucks is going to help her out. I don't think he got got.

[Amy]

Yeah, he got got. They sit there in the back and they're like, all right, it's your turn to go fool someone and say you got in a fight and see if they give you extra money. And you had sucker written on your forehead. You fell for it hook, line, and sinker got scammed.

[Abby]

This is the thing, people, they rally in the back and see who can get a bigger tip.

[Bobby Bones]

I've worked in restaurants. I've never had that happen before.

[Lunchbox]

But have you ever had the thought of talking about how just life's been tough recently?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I'm sure people do that. The thing is, it's risky to do because people can also get annoyed with that and tip you less. Like, it's a risk to bring anything personal in, because unless you've established some sort of relationship with them in that hour, hour and a half, if you're doing that and then they walk away, you go, they just made me feel uncomfortable. I'm not tipping them as much. There's just a risk involved.

[Lunchbox]

You're right, because I did feel. It felt a little weird that she was telling us all this stuff, like where this co worker was calling her dumb. Like, a lot of information that was just kind of voluntarily given to us.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless she's used that In Israel, like, seven out of 10 times, it's worth doing. I don't think you got got, though. It's too risky.

[Lunchbox]

And I know $10 isn't a lot,

[Bobby Bones]

but $10 is a lot for added onto a tip.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but I know if you think like, oh, it's just $10, but my wife and I really, the decision was made because we both looked at each other like, oh, let's give her a little more money.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you take your kids to a restaurant and people were cursing?

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Or is that a bar?

[Lunchbox]

It was kind of like a sports bar. Okay. And they sat us right by the bar, which is fine. Like, usually it's no problem. But that night, like, there were just sailors sitting at the bar. F this.

[Bobby Bones]

Sitting, not working people. Got it.

[Lunchbox]

The bartender, too, Ringing the bell that's beeping. Awesome. Everyone was cursing. And I'm like, guys, my kids are here. Like, I felt like I wanted to go tell them. Like, can you guys, like, tone it down? I got kids here.

[Scuba Steve]

But.

[Lunchbox]

But I have this memory of my dad doing that when I was, like, I don't know, eight years old. And we were so embarrassed. He went up to another table with these guys and said, hey, my kids are sitting over there. I'd appreciate if you stop cursing. And they're just like, okay, sorry, dude. We beeped up, and they just kind of, like, rubbed it in his face. And I have memories of that. And I was like, this is going to be me. If I, like, go up there and try to say something.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think about that situation?

[Abby]

I mean, I think you're. You just have to tell your kids. Like, oh, let's try to ignore them. I'm not saying anything to anybody else. I know that I'm in a public place. I'm at a bar, a sports bar. I'm sitting near the bar. Like, there's some variables you just have to consider of, like, this is sort of the price you pay being in public. And then tell your kids, hey, I mean, if it's a thing, then you can mention. Like, we don't want to talk that way.

[Bobby Bones]

Not just in public, though, but at a sports bar at night.

[Abby]

And you're seeing games are.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Early dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're at a sports bar where they're drinking. I'm not saying that they're all great humans, but if you're taking your kids to a sports bar in the evening, keyword bar. They're probably going to be people that,

[Abby]

like, if you're at Chick Fil A. Yeah.

[Amy]

Totally different.

[Abby]

Like, hey, guys, can you chill out a little bit?

[Lunchbox]

Or I also thought about telling the server, like, can you move us further away from the bar?

[Bobby Bones]

What if you'd have got beaten up, though?

[Amy]

That have been, like.

[Bobby Bones]

That would have been terrible.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, in front of my kids?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, you can. You talk about a memory you have that of your dad, he didn't get beaten up. They just talk garbage back to him. Imagine someone is drunk and you say, hey, guys, stop cursing. And they punch you in the face and you get knocked out. How humiliate. You can't even go back home.

[Lunchbox]

No, that'd be the worst.

[Bobby Bones]

You just got to run away and make a new family.

[Lunchbox]

That would be the worst because my kids think I'm so strong now. Like, we'll watch UFC and be like, dad, you can probably win one of these fights, huh? And I'm like, probably,

[Ray]

yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine getting beat up in front of your kids.

[Lunchbox]

So you wouldn't say anything?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I probably wouldn't go to that if that concerned me.

[Abby]

Right. You wouldn't put yourself in that situation.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, it is more of a sport of a.

[Bobby Bones]

If it's a Texas roadhouse, I might say something.

[Lunchbox]

It's kind of.

[Abby]

I. I don't think you would, but I'm saying more.

[Bobby Bones]

So a situation like that where there are a bunch of families. It's not even about my family. Like, you're cursing and everybody's hearing you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, so you would speak for everyone. Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe then I will. Then I have guarding my back because

[Lunchbox]

I will say there were more kids in the restaurant. We weren't the only ones.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's also a bar. I'm glad you didn't say anything because you'd have got beaten up.

[Lunchbox]

I was like, I really was thinking, like, I don't want to be like my dad.

[Bobby Bones]

And that would have been terrible.

[Abby]

Quick question when did simple food stop being simple? Because somewhere along the way grabbing something from the deli case turned into reading an ingredient list and it feels like you're cramming for a test that you did not sign up for. That's why I like Dietz and Watson. They keep things simple because good food doesn't need all the extra stuff. They've been family owned for more than 85 years and they still do things the right way, which apparently is becoming a lost art. They never cut corners. They're transparent about what goes into their food and what doesn't. If you're like me and you want to know what you're putting into your body and you want to eat things, you actually understand the ingredients. Dietz Watson is what it's about. I'm looking for food that tastes great, but that doesn't take a lot of effort as well. And Dietz Watson is all that and more. I order the chicken sausage. It is so good. Authentic flavor. No antibiotics ever. Their uncured sausages also make it easy to put together something filling without overthinking dinner at the end of the day. They keep it pretty simple.

[Morgan]

The death of me being on the show.

[Bobby Bones]

RIP Is that why you wore all black?

[Morgan]

No, I just feel the most confident in black. So this is one of my favorite shirts. I've tried to wear all my favorite shirts this week.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think you do Monday?

[Morgan]

Sleep in for sure and go on a really long walk and then probably nap some more and watch some more TV shows.

[Bobby Bones]

How many days until you think you're going? I'm bored.

[Morgan]

I give me three weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a lot of time.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I don't know if I don't know what you've shared. So I want to be careful because you haven't said when your wedding is.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And we can talk about. That was just more funny bit for the show.

[Lunchbox]

You can tell us over.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we can talk about the date and stuff now.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I won't say the exact date, but it's in. It's in September is when it's happening.

[Bobby Bones]

And what about your bachelorette party?

[Morgan]

That's happening next week.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I know that, but I don't know what you want to be known. So I'm wondering if these things, though, will help kick the can a little bit before boredom sets in.

[Abby]

For sure.

[Morgan]

It's definitely gonna give me a lot to do to finish up, especially after the bachelorette party will happen, which will be a fun celebration. And then I'll come back and I'm trying to talk my dad into going on a little retire. He's retired and taking a little trip with me. So more like unemployed retirement trip out to California. And if I can convince him to do that. And then I'll go kind of be in August and everything will really start be moving for the wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

So then you have that. So it's kind of a good time to be able to just be a little bit free.

[Lunchbox]

Right?

[Abby]

For sure.

[Morgan]

I need it. Honestly, I am. I'm feeling a lot of burnout, so I need some break. I need some breather. And maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so. My body's been giving me lots of clues to that. So I think I need a lot of rest more than anything.

[Bobby Bones]

If your Body's been giving you clues. I think you've been burned out for three years or so.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because everything's been going wrong.

[Morgan]

Yeah. It's all of it.

[Abby]

Right.

[Morgan]

Like stress. We don't even know what stress really does on the body, and that's something we're really starting to learn about. And I think my. I just have such a really hard drive, and I want to do the best at everything that I can do. And doing that often leads to burnout because you're just. You're pushing everything you can push. And that's what I've been trying to do and do everything the best that I can, so.

[Bobby Bones]

But list all the things wrong with you physically.

[Morgan]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause you got the balance thing.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Vertigo. I have vertigo. I can't smell. Yeah. I like 60% smell. And my thyroid has issues. I break out in hives all the time. And my hair started falling out a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Morgan]

And whoa. Yeah. And my joints are all super achy. Cause I'm sitting a lot instead of moving like I should be. And those are just a few things.

[Abby]

Who knew? I mean, obviously we knew that she had ailments, but it's this all related to stress from here.

[Morgan]

I think it's just stress from all of it. You know, there's a. I do a lot on my computer, and I work a lot on there, and I don't. I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle for the most part. And so I, you know, walking pad for sure. And things.

[Bobby Bones]

Walking outside, not in here.

[Abby]

Oh, just. I'm saying, like, at home, it'd be good.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine she rolls in with a walking pad and she wants to work while she does the whole show.

[Abby]

No, not here. We're all sitting at work. But I'm like, I have to. Something that I got at home. It's not a walking pad, but I have a treadmill that Bobby got me a long time ago. But I ordered this, like, clear tray that goes on top, and then a little computer stand that sits on top of that. And I put it at, like, you know, 2.0. Like, I'm just barely to where I can still type. And I have way too fast for you or 1.5. Whatever. I do it at a. But I'm still moving and I'm able. And that's something. Because I get it. That. That part, the sedentary part. Like, you'll be sitting, you know, which Morgan has to be on her computer and phone way more because of social and web stuff. But I will be like, oh, you know what if I've got. If I'm gonna be doing computer work, like, I'm like, I make myself go up to my little standing desk that I've created. I mean, I had to make it work. Cause the way the treadmill came, that wasn't an option. But I ordered little pieces that made it a little workstation. And so wherever you land next, I'm just saying you'll likely be on a computer. So you need to make a little station.

[Morgan]

Yes. Yeah, for sure. And just a little bit more balance. I'm getting more aware of that. I was definitely in a really hard drive in my 20s where I just wanted to keep chasing stuff. And I'm slowing down a little bit. My body's giving me the cues to it.

[Bobby Bones]

So will you still watch Ray's Papa Shot championship?

[Abby]

Heck yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Just making sure.

[Lunchbox]

That's Saturday, right? Tomorrow.

[Bobby Bones]

He's leaving today. He flies out of here right away. Play one voicemail on that, Ray. It's number seven. Bobby and Scuba both mentioned that they

[Ray]

plan on having watch parties at home

[Bobby Bones]

by themselves for Ray's Papa Shot tournament. And I'm assuming most of y' all are going to be watching it anyways at home as well.

[Ray]

So here's my suggestion. How about y' all have a proper

[Bobby Bones]

watch party together and then you can accomplish the get together that Amy's been begging for and you can double up up as a goodbye party from Oregon. Just a thought I had.

[Ray]

Love the show.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if it were way earlier possible. It goes till 10 o'. Clock. I'm in bed by 8. 45 or 9. Normally on Saturday? Yeah, normally. And the baby?

[Abby]

Samesies.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, baby sleep. So, Ophelia, how you gonna watch it, though? You don't have the ESPN plus unless it's part of your bundle.

[Abby]

Can you put me on FaceTime? You're watching it.

[Lunchbox]

No, Amy, you can go to a bar. Just tell them like, hey, do you guys have espn?

[Abby]

I'm not going to a bar. I'll figure it out.

[Amy]

You'll still.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you be rooting against Ray?

[Morgan]

No, I'll be cheering all of you guys on. That's the best part, is, like sitting in here. We all love to give each other crap and stuff, but now I just get to watch and cheer you guys on from the sidelines.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox had a couple of questions.

[Amy]

Yeah, I did. I want to know, like, this is really for, like, Bobby, do you now regret how the Snooki interview went? Like, how it went to Morgan and it just. She Got the biggest interview probably on the show's had for a while. And she just then pieces out like, do you think a little bit like back about that? Like, ah, man, bad move.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know that was happening. I had nothing to do with it. She got it on her own. I don't think it was a bad move at all.

[Amy]

Because I mean, like, Morgan had like, oh, I'm a big Snooki fan. And she posted it.

[Bobby Bones]

She is a Snooki fan. Hold on. Are you still mad about this?

[Amy]

She posted all these like pictures about her time on the Bobbi Bones show and got to meet all these people and my heroes and people. I. Not one Snooki picture response.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan.

[Morgan]

It just happened. I was showing stuff from the past 10 years of my life and there was a whole bunch of content with Snooki recently. So I didn't feel like it needed to be brought up again in this particular moment.

[Bobby Bones]

I have no regret about how that happened, but I had nothing to do with how that happened. I just was here as part of the fallout of it.

[Amy]

Okay, and then my second question. Do you feel used?

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

I think Morgan joined this show back in the day and from day one it felt like her being here. She wanted me to dude. And that's all she ever talked about. I want to meet a dude, I want to meet a dude. I want to have a boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend. Then she finally finds one. She's like, the show got me what I needed and I'm done with the show. She used you to get a husband and then she left.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if that were the case, that was a 10 year use and I'm okay with that because that's not really being used. Like, she really, if that was her plan, she really put her time in. She played the long game better than anybody in the history of the show if that's true.

[Amy]

And I think that's why she was so heartbroken all those times. Like, man, I gotta keep working, I gotta keep working. And so that's what I. I just didn't know if we. You felt used and abused.

[Bobby Bones]

I do not.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I also don't think she just was here on the show to get a boyfriend. Fiance.

[Amy]

She sure did talk about a lot. Hey, my DMs are open.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if she ever said that.

[Morgan]

Did she say that?

[Amy]

I think so. I couldn't pull the clip. I didn't have enough time.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think there is a clip.

[Amy]

I'm just saying I just felt like, you know, if she would have gotten engaged to, you know, a dude five

[Bobby Bones]

years ago, would she have been gone five years ago? Great question, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Man, you caught me. Like, this was the long game all along.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Amy, when she met her husband, she left.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's right. She tried to leave.

[Abby]

Yep. Well, he was in the Air Force, so I had to. I mean, I was moving.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you're doing. That did happen.

[Abby]

It did?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Abby, when you get married, are you leaving?

[Abby]

What?

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Abby]

My plans.

[Amy]

See, that's what I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

What the heck? That sounds weird going on here.

[Amy]

I told you.

[Abby]

I'm kidding.

[Lunchbox]

You're using.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. Everybody. Everybody's using me.

[Abby]

Not true.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby, if you get married, are you leaving?

[Abby]

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not.

[Lunchbox]

She's not saying no.

[Abby]

Oh, my gosh. I think I feel like I'm in the, like, early stages of planning, so I don't have the future ahead of me yet.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you just not answer that question? No with a no, and then if it does happen later, then it just happens.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Abby]

You didn't expect for it to happen later because that's.

[Lunchbox]

Cause it's part of the plan.

[Abby]

I don't know that she knows it's part of the plan, but subconsciously, it's coming out. I have no intention to leave.

[Bobby Bones]

Is everybody using us?

[Amy]

That's why I'm starting to wonder.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox was onto something, you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, is this the one time he was onto something?

[Amy]

You guys always think I'm crazy. Like, I am so much smarter than you realize. I know women.

[Ray]

Okay,

[Bobby Bones]

what are you gonna do today when you leave here?

[Morgan]

We're going to lunch. Might hit Broadway.

[Bobby Bones]

She just goes and gets hammered.

[Amy]

Are you really gonna go to Broadway?

[Abby]

Am I. Wait, with who? Broadway.

[Morgan]

She's like, whoever wants to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna drink in the daytime? Yeah, after the show.

[Morgan]

I get to do that now.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna go hard again at night?

[Morgan]

Maybe.

[Abby]

Wait, I don't know that that's good for your body and all the stress,

[Bobby Bones]

Thyroid, that all goes out the window. Who said that to me that they thought they were worried about Morgan?

[Lunchbox]

Me. I overheard her talking to someone in the building, and they were like, wow, Morgan, I'm never gonna see you again. They're like, oh, I'll see you probably more because I'll be out at the bars all night. I'm like, oh, no, we're gonna lose Morgan. Like, she's gonna. She's gonna be unemployed and drunk every Night.

[Morgan]

I think I'll be out more. I don't know if I said I'll be at the bars more, but I'll be out more.

[Lunchbox]

I was like, this is not good.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you had to shift all the assets and.

[Morgan]

Yeah, transferring everything over. Yeah, of course. All this feels so bittersweet. I have two very strong sets of emotion right now. One, it's very sad. This is a closing chapter. I'm very emotional about it. And then the other, very excited about what's to come. It's weird having those two things happen at the.

[Lunchbox]

Could you never work again? Like, is that a possibility?

[Amy]

Are you set?

[Morgan]

No, I don't. I don't know that anybody is.

[Bobby Bones]

What if she said she can retire? How crazy would that drive you guys?

[Lunchbox]

I'd be so upset.

[Abby]

Oh, I'd have to.

[Amy]

I may smash her computer if that happens.

[Bobby Bones]

You have questions.

[Lunchbox]

I'd have questions, but I mean, her boy, fiance.

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of questions would you have?

[Morgan]

Like how you also did that with a pin. Like you're going to stab me or something?

[Abby]

No, to take notes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you would ask questions to learn.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Abby]

Yes. Not because, like, I'd be like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I would just think, if that were the case, that her fiance then just has a whole bunch of money because she's in her 30s.

[Amy]

Oh, I took that as daddy was gonna give money.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I didn't think about that.

[Amy]

That's what I thought. I mean, that's 100%.

[Lunchbox]

I just thought fiance would work and she would just stay at home also.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a thing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Scuba Steve]

Not a bad idea.

[Morgan]

I love all these theories.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I don't know. Who knows?

[Amy]

Do you have them?

[Bobby Bones]

Are you have a goal of getting another job?

[Morgan]

Not really. I've had a few people message me and share things that they would love for me to look into.

[Bobby Bones]

So what if she starts Monday at cmt?

[Amy]

Whoa, cmt?

[Morgan]

Still?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're still on. I mean, they show like two shows. Like, they have stuff. But I'm just saying, what if she. All of a sudden. We just get it. We just.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Took a job at SEAT on Monday. She's like, my Vitiligo is better. What do you have again?

[Morgan]

He has Vitiligo.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, the white sp.

[Amy]

Hey, wait, wait, wait. Who's reached out?

[Morgan]

None of your business.

[Bobby Bones]

She's not going to tell you.

[Morgan]

No, I'm not starting anywhere. I'm. I'm good for the rest of the month at least. So I'm. I'm going to take some time for a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

The rest of the month. Two weeks?

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, 13 days.

[Bobby Bones]

Before you work again?

[Morgan]

No, just for, like, while I'm trying to rest. That's kind of my goal end of the month before I start to kind of reevaluate and see what's next.

[Bobby Bones]

What's next for Morgan, Eddie?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I think that, like, just from the way she's talking, kind of like, I need the break, and I want to do nothing. I want to go on a trip with my dad. He's retired. She may never work again. I think she just, like, tells her fiance, like, hey, you got a job, right? You good supporting us? I got the house. Boom. Never again. She's done.

[Bobby Bones]

Could you do that?

[Abby]

No.

[Morgan]

I don't have that bone in my body.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not even asking financially. I'm just saying, do you think you. At this stage of your life, if you had a kid, it may be different.

[Morgan]

Yeah, for sure. I think that's a huge part of this, is that you don't think you

[Abby]

have that bone in your body. I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, to chill, Eddie. That's all Eddie's bones.

[Abby]

No, but I don't. For me, it's not an option, so I don't. But I wonder if I was given that option one day, I mean, who knows? I might hate it. Oh. Like, do, like, just be. I don't know, get to do whatever I want. Like, be supported, you know?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, that would be amazing.

[Abby]

But I. I. But. But I would still have what I've built. Like, I don't think I could go into it having, like, nothing and then I get screwed down the line. But as long as I get to keep what I've built.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean, what you built? Like, the money you've.

[Abby]

Yeah, like, my savings. Like, my stuff that will take care of me. If something happens down the line, I don't want to be in a situation where I'm vulnerable.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not saying you're gonna keep working with the stuff you already have. You're talking about if no more work.

[Abby]

I'm saying, like, some women get into a situation where they quit everything and they rely on their significant other or men, whatever. You rely on your partner for everything, and if that doesn't work out, then you're screwed.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Abby]

I don't want to be in that situation. If I could find that situation, though, and I get to keep what I've

[Bobby Bones]

built, why wouldn't you?

[Abby]

Right. So I'm in a position now where I'm like, okay, maybe if I keep, I wouldn't be screwed. And it'd be kind of nice to be like, just do mom things and.

[Bobby Bones]

But your last boyfriend was rich.

[Abby]

Volunteer.

[Amy]

You could have done that. You had.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what your main goal was. You could have done that, but it wasn't your main goal.

[Abby]

So that's why it's not my main goal. So, yeah, I get it. But also, he's not. I don't know. That is. I think he likes that I have my own thing going on too. Like, I don't think, you know, Like, I don't know. It's tricky because it just. I. I don't know. Maybe I'm just influenced when I see these people. And I know Instagram's not real, but I'm like, you just get to, like, wake up and go work out and go visit your kids at school and volunteer.

[Bobby Bones]

Who are you following?

[Abby]

They're not. I'm not following them. It just pops up in my. For you. I mean, I'm not looking to be like, a trad wife or anything. I don't want to bake, but, like, maybe I would.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe I would.

[Ray]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

It just.

[Abby]

To Morgan's point, like, some days just feel like, so. Which, Bobbi, I don't know if you get this, like, as a guy, because your days are just as packed, but some days just feel. And maybe right now things feel especially heavy. Especially heavy because the co host of my podcast is. Has a pregnancy coming up, and so we're trying to get so ahead so she can take time off. But, like, we had a calendar meeting this week, and I'm like, oh, my gosh. Like, it's gonna be. Which once she has the baby, it'll be fine. And I'm not gonna have a baby, so it'll be a little more chill. But I'm like, this is gonna be a grind for a little bit. And then, you know, I just feel like it would be. It just feels like a lot. And Morgan's about to just go to Broadway. Yeah, that sounds awesome.

[Morgan]

Sounds nice.

[Abby]

But then also, I think I would get to a point where I miss the grind. Oh, no chance.

[Lunchbox]

Why would you miss the grind? Like, the grind is like, ugh. The grind is why we're like, I sit on the edge of my bed for five minutes being like, no, that's your testosterone.

[Abby]

Because, like, I have the energy. I guess it's not even that. The grind. I'm not part of hustle culture, but it's more of, like, if you have responsibilities, you have to fulfill them. And so it's like. And we don't want to do, like, repeats of stuff. Like, Morgan has high standards for herself. She wants to put out. Like, that's why she's like, has expectations. And I have the same expectations for us of, like, oh, we could probably run some old best of podcast things. But, like, I don't want to do that. Like, I want the new content and I want it with. We've worked hard to build what people expect of us. Like, us too. So I could bring in guests, but, like, people want. Our listeners are used to me and Kat.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? Take some time.

[Abby]

Take some time.

[Lunchbox]

What is Morgan leaving making you think

[Amy]

of all this stuff? Like, yeah, like, bringing up.

[Abby]

I think it's making all of us sink of something. But my stuff's not here. Like, her stuff. She has more stuff here that goes home with her. Mine is more balancing different projects I have outside of here too.

[Bobby Bones]

And also children.

[Abby]

And children, yes. It's like a whole.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember you have those.

[Abby]

Yeah, but that's only every other week.

[Lunchbox]

Wow, that's cool.

[Amy]

Every other week.

[Lunchbox]

That'd be fun.

[Abby]

You should consider divorce. But that's if you have 50. 50. I feel like. Eddie, if you're what your marriage, fine. But if it were to end, don't you think your wife would get them more time than you?

[Lunchbox]

I hope not. I'd like the 50%, but, dude, when I drop them off, how cool would that be? Like, wow, I'm going day drinking with Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Call Morgan up.

[Abby]

You do have to. You can get real depressed about it. I will say with that, you can either choose to, like, think of all the negative, or you can, you know, change the narrative a little bit and be like, oh, wow, I get this week to really, you know, get stuff done or just kind of do nothing because otherwise it'll. But Morgan, she doesn't have kids, so she doesn't have to worry about that at this point.

[Bobby Bones]

What did your fiance say about you quitting?

[Morgan]

Honestly, there was a lot of him sitting and me just listening and. Or me just talking and trying to work things out in my brain and get it all out of my head. And he was supportive. Like, I think he. He felt the things that I was feeling. It was scared and then it was excited. And then ultimately now he's the one who sees me working all the time. He's the one who's around who is the other part of that, you know, when I'm having to get things done or working And I can't be present at home or do things. He's taking that. So I think he saw how much I was doing, and I think he's really excited to see what that looks like now for me and more. So excited just to. For us to be able to travel and do some of that, some more, which is what both of us really want.

[Bobby Bones]

So is your house paid off?

[Morgan]

No, no, it still has a mortgage

[Bobby Bones]

on it, but be freaking out to

[Abby]

not have a job and have money coming in.

[Bobby Bones]

You got a mortgage and bills?

[Morgan]

I could like if I wanted to, I could, but it's also not my goal. Yeah.

[Amy]

My goodness. What's up? You could pay it off. You mean you could pay it off?

[Abby]

Yeah. What am I doing wrong here?

[Amy]

Explain that to me.

[Morgan]

Well, also, you guys have bigger houses than I do. That's a big part. Your guys cost a lot more than mine.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys have other expenses, too. And she saves her money halfway decently.

[Morgan]

I don't have any kids. My only requirement.

[Abby]

Lost half of everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy. Lost half of everything.

[Lunchbox]

Amy. I'm sorry.

[Morgan]

I just gotta keep a roof over my head and take care of my animals, and that's kind of my big priority right now. So I have saved up enough to take care of myself so I can figure out what comes next. And I'm thankful for that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd be so anxious if I had a house payment, car payment, and no job.

[Amy]

Yeah, she doesn't have to be anxious. I mean, she could pay it off. She said so. She's got plenty of money. She's sitting on stacks of cash.

[Morgan]

I'm not saying stacks of cash.

[Amy]

That's what I heard.

[Morgan]

But I have saved and I've been smart, probably.

[Amy]

So it sounds like maybe I won

[Morgan]

the lottery and you just don't know.

[Amy]

No, that ain't true. Because you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

What if she left?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, that'd be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

And then we find out next week she hit the lottery.

[Abby]

And this is why it's also abrupt Lunchbox.

[Ray]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

How would you feel if you found out she at the lottery?

[Amy]

Disappointed.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, what would be disappointing?

[Amy]

That it wasn't me, but it. So I guess resentful is more of a better word. Yeah, I mean, like that may. That adds up. That. That explains it. Maybe more about, oh, I got money, I got this, I got, you know. Okay, you hit the lottery. It's not that she's highly intelligent.

[Bobby Bones]

We're gonna end up. We'll do that before.

[Morgan]

Love that for me.

[Lunchbox]

Highly intelligent. And that comment that shook the world.

[Amy]

I mean, it shook the core of the.

[Bobby Bones]

When I mentioned Morgan on this show. Is that what you guys think about?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Me saying she's highly intelligent.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, mostly when we play like easy trivia and she gets something really easy wrong and I'm like, highly intelligent.

[Morgan]

You also get things or like when

[Amy]

she gets dead last in the hunter questions and you're like highly intelligent.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. After she loses something. I don't say that, but I think you can be very smart in different ways.

[Lunchbox]

That was just funny. That was funny when. When that happened.

[Bobby Bones]

This is how you guys want to go out here with her?

[Amy]

No, no, no.

[Lunchbox]

We don't have to talk about highly intelligent.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, by the way, good news. They have a non stop from Wichita to Nashville. I'm back now.

[Morgan]

So long. I've been waiting for this.

[Bobby Bones]

They announced it yesterday. Which Abby and Morgan are from Wichita, Des Moines, and then two, I think island southwest. Like one to Aruba, one to somewhere else.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I told you, the Puerto Rico. Did they announce that one?

[Morgan]

I think it's Puerto Rico.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it? Yeah, maybe. Maybe it wasn't Aruba.

[Lunchbox]

They all start to the little islands out there.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want to stay in Nashville?

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Wow, that just got crazy.

[Lunchbox]

I did get crazy.

[Amy]

Well, doesn't your dude have a job in Nashville?

[Morgan]

He has a job.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you want to go back home?

[Morgan]

No, thanks.

[Scuba Steve]

Wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, let her answer.

[Morgan]

I have always really wanted to live somewhere near the mountains.

[Abby]

Oh, my gosh. She's gonna get to move to the mountains.

[Amy]

Amy, she's moving to Colorado.

[Lunchbox]

Amy's leaving next week.

[Abby]

No, I'm not.

[Bobby Bones]

Like you should really consider doing that. This is the only time you're gonna have to do that. Because once you get married and if you do have kids and that, that is almost impossible to do. Like, if that's something you want to do, even if it's for three months, that is something I would really encourage you to do.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's definitely something I'm thinking about. And that's also why traveling. I want to go see some places. Maybe I'll fall in love with places that I haven't seen yet. And I'm just. Honestly, everything is open right now. I think the one thing that I know is that I'll do my podcast in some form or fashion, whatever that may look like. And from there we'll see. That's kind of where my mindset's at this current moment, but that could change by Monday.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

What's your Morgan Memory.

[Lunchbox]

Man. Some of my favorite Morgan memories is when she just pronounces words weird, like Italian.

[Abby]

Yeah, I'm one of mine.

[Lunchbox]

You know, I'm gonna miss that.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby]

Her cute words.

[Lunchbox]

What are some of the other ones?

[Abby]

Like, you can't help but laugh.

[Bobby Bones]

Amblance. Oh, no, that's left block.

[Ray]

Not bad.

[Scuba Steve]

That'll still be here.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We still have the ambulance here.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I'll never forget when I pronounced, I was talking about food. And I was talking about the company that does chocolate.

[Bobby Bones]

Hershey's. No, Reese's.

[Morgan]

They have the cookies. It starts with an N. Nestle. Yeah. And I called it Nestle.

[Ray]

Oh, Nessel.

[Morgan]

And you guys rocked me for that.

[Bobby Bones]

Or even recently. Nazis.

[Lunchbox]

The Nazis. The German Nazis.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, I'd miss that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty funny.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Amy]

Oh, I'm gonna. What am I gonna remember about Morgan? Falling in love fast, breaking up, heartbreak. I mean, and then just, like, her journey of buying her first house and growing up, and then. And then she gets her. Dude, she leaves. I mean, it's just crazy.

[Lunchbox]

I know, dude, don't blink.

[Amy]

Don't blink. They grow fast. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And, I mean, I can't tell if

[Morgan]

you guys are my dad's or my brother's right now.

[Amy]

No. And her help, my need of help with technology and her being patient enough to help me, that really. That sticks with me.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you're in trouble there.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's gonna do that now?

[Amy]

I don't know. I've already got a problem with Facebook. I don't know what to do.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

Well, because, like, when you go to Facebook now, like, and this is a sidebar, but you go to the sore losers page, and it only has highlights. It doesn't give me the latest post. Why can I not see the latest one? I don't want to see a post from three months ago. It drives me nuts. I don't know how to figure it out. And I've just never said anything. I've just said, oh, it's just me. I'll figure it out. I haven't figured it out.

[Lunchbox]

Well, she's still here. You can ask her.

[Amy]

That's why I'm here. See, it's just highlights. Why doesn't it do it in order? They don't do that anymore.

[Morgan]

I'll look at it for you before I leave me my last technology help

[Bobby Bones]

really get you, huh?

[Amy]

Well, I mean, I was just like, what did I click on that? It's like that. And then sort of like up here and then on the top of my screen, all the bookmarks. When we talked about Madison beer one time and her Instagram and how hot she is, somehow I clicked it onto my bookmarks, and I have no idea how to take it off.

[Lunchbox]

You get all Madison beer.

[Amy]

I have no idea how to take that. I don't know what a bookmark is, but it's there. And it. It's just like, I don't know what that is.

[Lunchbox]

I did think, like, is lunchbox gonna scare random girls in the garage? Like, that was usually Morgan. She'd be walking to her car, and

[Abby]

he'd go, like, no, he still has Abby and me.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's true. That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

And it can be odd or funny or whatever. Abby, what is your. When I just say Morgan, what do you think about.

[Abby]

Oh, well, I loved, like, during CMA Awards, like, we had the whole stage where we just, like, did, like. It was like a catwalk. Like, we were, like, modeling. It was the coolest thing ever. It was so. Because it was, like, my first CMA Awards, when we were accepting the award, and that was just, like, one of my favorite moments.

[Bobby Bones]

When you guys were catwalking, were you shooting videos?

[Abby]

Yeah. On the stage. Because no one was there. It was like, before the awards, you know? And so we just had, like, the whole thing to ourselves, and it was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Did I do that?

[Abby]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Was he wearing a hoodie?

[Lunchbox]

I don't even think you were there.

[Morgan]

That wasn't the hoodie.

[Abby]

That wasn't the.

[Bobby Bones]

No. I was sick. The one time when life walks with the hoodie. The other times, I've been there.

[Lunchbox]

No, I think you were like, no, you're on the red carpet or you were somewhere else.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I came. I got there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you were in the building somewhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay, Amy.

[Abby]

Yeah. So hands down, this is an epic Morgan moment. Mostly, I was proud of her. I don't know. Just took a lot of. I don't know if the word's brave, but the time she made the bracelet for Dustin lynch and gave it to him.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Epic.

[Bobby Bones]

I forget about how awkward that was.

[Morgan]

I will do it.

[Abby]

That was awesome.

[Lunchbox]

That was.

[Abby]

Good morning.

[Amy]

It was so good.

[Abby]

Like, she. Whether she's just shooting her shot for real or she did it for the show, like, whatever it was, she committed, and that was impressive because I wouldn't have the guts to do that. And she did it. And then she's had to hold her own around Dustin ever since, and she's done a good job. Like, when we were in Atlanta, A

[Bobby Bones]

couple of months ago, I think I blocked that out. That's one of those really great moments. But I don't wanna think about it. Cause it was difficult.

[Abby]

It's such a great moment. But also it's probably top of mind because when we were in Atlanta a couple months ago, we were with Dustin and it was just like. And I was with Morgan. And she was like, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and go over here now. And I was like, wait, why don't you wanna come? And she's like, I'm good. And I was like, oh, yeah.

[Amy]

She used to do that during the ACM interviews. I'd be like, hey, here comes Dustin. You can do this one. No, no. I think I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

[Abby]

Like, she just had to figure out how to navigate Dustin ever since then.

[Amy]

But, I mean, it could have worked out.

[Abby]

She figured it out.

[Amy]

It worked out for Travis Kelce. He did a bracelet and that's how he got married.

[Scuba Steve]

I know, but.

[Abby]

And Morgan's moved on. Like, it was a whole. But I think she really mostly was committing to the bit. Like. And I feel like at this job, sometimes you just have to commit to the bit and it shows her level of commitment. I don't know. I don't know. You can speak for yourself, Morgan. But I felt like it was more of a commitment to the show than it was to her romantic life.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was definitely like, okay, this will be a funny bit. And hopefully it'll work out for me. If it doesn't, then that's also a funny bit.

[Abby]

Or it could be a mix. Like, obviously it could have. I mean, and I think Dustin did invite her to, like, go fly in an airplane.

[Morgan]

He wanted Lunchbox and I to go on the fly on the airplane with him. Yeah, it was going to be a triple.

[Lunchbox]

The third wheel.

[Amy]

I don't know why I needed to be there.

[Lunchbox]

That's weird.

[Amy]

I was good.

[Bobby Bones]

There are, like, three things. Because I did this exercise too. I think about how hard it's going to be for all you guys at the CMA remote because Morgan basically set everything up and made sure everything worked and then also hosted them at the same time. Yeah, you guys are sol. Because that's what she did. All that.

[Abby]

I know. I already prepared myself that, like, it's good. Also, I would like to be more like Morgan in that sense. So maybe she can. I'll just channel my inner Morgan.

[Amy]

Be like, Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

How?

[Amy]

Explain.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't understand what you said.

[Abby]

Well, do, like. I mean, I get we're doing stuff here and then have to go over there. But I can come in and do that. Like, I can do what Morgan was doing. I just have to channel my inner Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, she has knowledge of, like, the

[Lunchbox]

technical and the time.

[Abby]

That's what I mean. Channel the inner Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

I have two more that. She was surprisingly a great athlete because she's small and you kind of go push her out the way, but, like, super strong. Does flips. Like, all that crap's crazy when you see her doing the tumbling or, like, boxing. And Lunchbox would never fight her in a match.

[Lunchbox]

Man, we missed out on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's a great.

[Amy]

Yeah. And she was a, like, a travel softball player, so. Amazing.

[Lunchbox]

Switch hitter.

[Amy]

Got smoked in home run derby.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then the ducks. I think of all the ducks.

[Amy]

Oh, she couldn't even see her on the steering wheel, right?

[Morgan]

I miss those ducks.

[Bobby Bones]

All the God dang ducks in the Jeep. Abby, did you do yours? You can't walk, right?

[Ray]

Yeah, yeah, definitely. The times partying with Morgan, it was never like, we set out to go to a brunch together or something like that. But there would be a random night on Broadway where I would just run into her and Christina and we would all just, like, go crazy. Like, oh, my gosh, we're seeing each other out partying. This is awesome. And then we went on the cruise. I really. That wasn't even planned.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great one, too, how she kept the crew. Like, she was MVP of the cruise.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I heard that.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Amy]

Hold on. Stop, Stop.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Amy]

Dude, she was MVP of the cruise.

[Lunchbox]

Hello, hello.

[Amy]

Selective memory here. Because she's leaving. She may have been, like, second voted mvp, but for sure. MVP sitting right here. Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

She was responsible. MVP that could get. Make sure everything was taken care of, get stuff done. And also, was there.

[Amy]

No, she left her stuff on the cruise ship at the end because she was.

[Morgan]

So I made it the whole time. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

That was the last day, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Cruise mvp. I forgot that one.

[Lunchbox]

You know what, though? I did hear that they had to tell the crews that she wasn't coming, and they were like, bomb.

[Bobby Bones]

They were like, we're mvp?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

She's not mvp.

[Lunchbox]

The captain was like, what?

[Amy]

She was not the.

[Abby]

Who's gonna do boozy bingo, Right?

[Lunchbox]

Somebody's gonna have to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

I need you to channel your inner Morgan. Have a L sheet, whatever that's called.

[Lunchbox]

Are you still going on the cruise, Morgan?

[Morgan]

I don't think so.

[Lunchbox]

Just checking.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I think you have to Buy your own way. I think the invite's there. If she wants to be MVP again, I think she gets it.

[Amy]

She wasn't the.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, if you win the Masters, you get to keep playing. Since she was MVP of the crew, she should just get to come back.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

Do it, Morgan.

[Amy]

You guys are. You're trying to start a fight on the last day.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I wasn't.

[Amy]

You know. You know who the real MVP was?

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba Steve.

[Scuba Steve]

I'll miss her balls at Christmas time.

[Bobby Bones]

Those little Oreo balls. Oh, yeah. She made dairy. Yeah, dairy free ones for me.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Full confession. Whenever they would come here, I would throw down, like, four or five of them before anyone would get to them. They are really, really good. And I'll also miss, like, giving her a hard time and razzing her. Like, me and lunchbox, like, treat her like kind of like the kid's sister she may get. I don't know if we may have gone too far sometimes, but I always enjoyed it, especially at the CMA remotes.

[Lunchbox]

That's a lot of fun.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, mvp.

[Scuba Steve]

Definitely the mvp. I think at the cruise ship, we're.

[Bobby Bones]

Let her talk.

[Amy]

No cruise ship. Are you crazy?

[Scuba Steve]

And CMA remotes, for sure.

[Amy]

You guys were on the same cruise. I swear you guys were on the same cruise.

[Scuba Steve]

No, it was Celebrity Cruise Ship.

[Lunchbox]

I'm telling you, we're already off to a bad start. Like, Like. Because I was like, Morgan is the last couple days. Let me handle the lives. Like, I will do everything. And she's, like, real creative with the titles. I'm an idiot. I should have titled it Morgan's Last, like, Moment. And I just said, we cooking. Come. Come hang with us. We cooking.

[Amy]

God, I'm an idiot. I'd agree with that.

[Morgan]

Okay, are all the titles just gonna be things your kids say now? Is that what's happening?

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, over to you.

[Morgan]

All right, I have a little something for each of you guys, all right? And I'm gonna try really hard to get through this. No tears. So, Bobby, thank you for taking a chance on me so many years ago and allowing me the opportunity to work on this show. You're an example that hard work and dedication gets you to where you dream of going. And being in this room with you for all of those years has only further solidified that in me. You took me under your wing many times and pushed me through limits I thought I had. And honestly, thank you will never be enough.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you very much.

[Morgan]

That's you, Amy, being the only two Girls in this room with all of these hooligans, you have been a lifeline for me. Many times we have cried in the bathroom together, we've laughed on our outings together, and we felt a lot of emotions along the way. I always appreciated our girl chats and I'm thankful you've helped me navigate this industry.

[Abby]

Thanks, Morgan.

[Morgan]

No crying. Okay? Lunchbox. Thank you for being the brother I never had. In all the good and absolutely insane ways, you always kept me humble. Also irritated and laughing. I'm proud of you for learning so many TikTok dances. And I do promise to still answer the phone when you need help with technology. You were the friend that I didn't know I needed, so thank you.

[Amy]

Yep, you got it.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd I do, Eddie?

[Morgan]

Our texting streak is coming to a close. And while I am sad, I'm also very happy. You opened up your life to me when you were willing to meet me in a sandwich shop all those years ago before I ever joined the show. Only for us to be conjoined at the hip hop for these last several years. And for that and all the many conversations we've had along the way, I am so grateful. You are a joy.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Mike D. I know so many people here only know you as Quiet Mike. But I had the honor to know you, the talkative side of you. And you've been my relatable connection and all the hard work in the studio that we do every day. And you taught me so much about who I am just by being you. So thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, Morgan.

[Morgan]

Scuba Steve. Hey, what's up, my Disney buddy? We've had some many long and hard conversations over the years, and you've been my sounding board and my confidant. The girl dad in you is very strong. I'm proud of both of us for chasing dreams years ago. Both of us were only talking about.

[Scuba Steve]

Thank you.

[Morgan]

I appreciate it, Ray. You've never failed at making me laugh. And you were great at making me take life a little less seriously. Watching you get kicked out of bars and being the only one willing to take shots with me, you always made life a lot more fun.

[Ray]

Preesh.

[Morgan]

And Abby, my fellow Kansas friend, since our home state didn't bring us together, I'm glad this show did. You felt like my little piece of home that was always wrapping me in a hug. Thank you for always being the one going to concerts and events so I wasn't going alone. Along with your kindness and of course, your Wichita song. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the Wichita song. I forgot about that. That was funny by itself.

[Abby]

Wichita Shout out Thanks. Mor.

[Bobby Bones]

In Morgan's honor, I'm gonna do my first ever shot right now. I never drank. You know what? In her honor, I'm gonna do a fireball shot and we'll call it. Well, we're rooting for you. We're gonna miss you. You're not dying. That's awesome. And yeah, you're gonna do great, but take time off and then decide what you want to do. I can't believe you're gonna move.

[Morgan]

Maybe. Who knows?

[Bobby Bones]

She's moving, guys.

[Lunchbox]

She's moving.

[Ray]

She's moving.

[Lunchbox]

And I think she's working again.

[Morgan]

She should.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if it's temporary.

[Amy]

You should.

[Morgan]

If you guys were leaving today, would you guys move immediately? Is that a consistent.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah. Florida, here I come.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta ask your wife.

[Lunchbox]

Ah, she'll follow. She'll want to go to Florida.

[Bobby Bones]

You're just gonna go and you just expect her to follow?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'll just say, pack your bags, we're going to Florida. She'll be like, okay, I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

Where are you going?

[Abby]

I'd probably go to Colorado. I'd move to the small town where my sister lives.

[Bobby Bones]

Monday we all come in and we're all leaving.

[Ray]

Now Morgan has inspired us all to move away.

[Abby]

All got moving trucks, and who knows, maybe I'd work at the coffee shop there.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's a pay cut.

[Amy]

I'd move to Austin. I'd move back to where the family is, and that way I could take a vacation and leave the kids with my parents and that'd be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray, where would you go?

[Ray]

I'd move absolutely nowhere. I'm not leaving my property. It's called dirt. And we dug in it, and that's gonna be my property for life, baby.

[Abby]

Buy dirt.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't leave. We wouldn't leave.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. My wife wants to live here.

[Lunchbox]

Arkansas.

[Amy]

What are you talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

She does not want to live there.

[Amy]

You don't want to go to Oklahoma?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

Oh, well, we're good.

[Bobby Bones]

We're good here. And I've built. Yeah, it's great. I mean. What do you mean?

[Abby]

We all are so close to her family and your family, by being here,

[Lunchbox]

you'd be closer in Fayetteville, dude, yeah,

[Amy]

I'd be a lot closer.

[Bobby Bones]

I have to consider my wife. And she wouldn't follow.

[Amy]

She wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Abby]

Fish feels good.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm off to Fayetteville. Yeah, okay. I'll see you when you get back.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah, we wouldn't. We wouldn't move. I don't think so.

[Abby]

And your house is pretty sick.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's true. That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

We could always sell it, though, and

[Abby]

get an even sicker one.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, we're gonna miss you.

[Morgan]

I'll miss you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Congratulations. I mean, 10 years.

[Abby]

It's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like it. What do you mean? To do nothing.

[Scuba Steve]

It is what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Abby]

It feels like back in the day when we were in Austin, remember, and we were leaving there and we all went and, like, said things and it just.

[Lunchbox]

But everyone was leaving there, Right?

[Abby]

I know, but it's just giving that when there's change, it's that there's no

[Bobby Bones]

change ever on this show. Yeah, there's no change.

[Abby]

Talking 10 years.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody here stays. You come in and you get jumped in, and nobody wants to get jumped out. So we got to beat her up after the show.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

You get jumped.

[Morgan]

In case you didn't tell me, that's how this ends.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right, so we're gonna miss you, Morgan. I'm sure we'll talk to you soon. And.

[Morgan]

And I hope you guys also come to the wedding party. You're still invited. I still want you there.

[Abby]

Oh, my gosh. What if we got uninvited?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, go. We show up. They turn us down.

[Bobby Bones]

We show up to the wedding. Yeah, yeah. We all show up to the wedding now. Okay. Otherwise, we'll keep extending it. Good luck. We're proud of you.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]
