Key Segments and Discussion Points

1. Lobster Debate: Should We Boil Them?

[02:11 – 07:07]

• Morgan brings up new research showing lobsters feel pain, igniting an unexpected show-wide ethical debate:
  • “Traditional method for killing the crustacean is boiling them, which is just suffering. So no one is saying we can't eat animals anymore. …But they're calling for a legal ban of boiling them. And I don't hate it.” – Morgan (03:24)
• Ray and Amy discuss alternate methods (sedating, stunning via freezer, using a knife).
• Amy: “Can't we sedate them?”
• Morgan: “Sedate them a little bit and then boil them.”
• The segment ends with most agreeing that, while lobster is tasty, the suffering seems unnecessary, and Morgan jokes, “Did I just turn into a vegan?”
• Memorable Moment: The crew playfully questions if they’d become vegans or hunters in a different life.

---

2. Listener Letter: “White Lying” Boyfriend

[07:07 – 12:32]

• A listener writes in concerned that her boyfriend constantly tells minor, unnecessary lies—does this mean he'll lie about bigger things?
• Amy: “I don’t think that because he lies about the little things that makes the bigger things lies as well… It sounds like stuff as parents, sometimes we deal with kids, like, why are you lying about the stupidest stuff ever?” (08:11)
• Morgan (sharing personal experience): “I used to do that as a kid… It could be the smallest of things. They were very meaningful in that instant because it did not show the vulnerability that I felt like I was not allowed to show.” (09:04)
• Consensus: It's common, often rooted in childhood anxiety or trauma, and can be addressed compassionately—but isn’t usually a dealbreaker.
• Advice: Bring it up gently, perhaps in therapy. Don't assume it means big betrayal.

---

3. Bobby Feud: Top 10 Last Names in America

[12:43 – 19:28]

• A spirited “Bobby Feud” game among Lunchbox, Morgan, and Eddie to guess the top 10 U.S. last names (Smith, Johnson, Garcia, Brown, Rodriguez, etc.).
• Plenty of friendly teasing for missing obvious names (e.g., Garcia—Eddie’s own last name), and digressions about whether certain last names sound more like first names.
• Notable Quotes:
  • Morgan: “Show me Garcia!”
  • Lunchbox: “Someone lives in my neighborhood…” (re: Nelson)
• Winner: Eddie takes the crown in the end.

---

4. Testosterone Challenge Arrives

[22:42 – 26:43]

• Upcoming “Low T” contest: Lunchbox and Eddie compete on who has higher testosterone, with blood draws happening that day by a paramedic named Chad.
• Lunchbox is disappointed Chad isn’t a “hot nurse”; jokes fly about whether Chad’s presence will spike (or drop) their testosterone readings.
• Amy and Morgan break down “high T” symptoms—acne, mood swings, body hair—and speculate who will win (votes mostly for Lunchbox).
• Quote:
  • Ray: “My libido is off the charts.”
  • Lunchbox: “Mine though. My libido.”

---

5. Lunchbox Calls Crime Stoppers…On a Coworker

[27:46 – 31:46]

• Morgan reveals Lunchbox has once again called Crime Stoppers, this time reporting her as an “unsafe driver” due to vertigo.
• Audio of the Call: Lunchbox lays out Morgan’s alleged impairments and tries for a $5,000 reward.
• Discussion: Playful outrage at Lunchbox's willingness to report coworkers, label himself “community helper”/vigilante.
• Amy: “I think it's ridiculous. I don't think Morgan would put herself or anyone else in jeopardy.” (31:29)
• Consensus: Tattling or “community vigilance”? Listeners are left to decide.

---

6. The Jeremy Piven Saga: Should He Be a Guest?

[32:18 – 37:53]

• Lunchbox suggests actor Jeremy Piven as a “perfect” guest, hoping for sparks with Amy after Piven previously slid into her Insta DMs post-event.
• Amy is mortified at the suggestion, especially having never replied to Piven’s “coffee?” follow-up.
• Ray: “We should have just booked him and not told Amy.”
• The group teases possible scenarios (awkward studio run-ins, Amy attending Piven’s Zanies comedy show), but ultimately, Amy demurs, though willing to “talk about it.”
• Quote:
  • Morgan (about Amy’s DMs): “Maybe he just wants you to buy tickets. Like, ticket sales are low.” (37:37)

---

7. Are 911 Dispatchers “First Responders”?

[41:50 – 44:43]

• Caller Carrie (911 dispatcher) calls in after a prior segment ignored her profession as “first responder.”
• The show debates the definition; Morgan initially resists, Amy advocates.
• Amy: “…The first responders that are going to be on the scene aren't getting there, so they need to walk someone through how to do CPR or how to handle the situation. Like, they're virtual first responders.” (42:38)
• Lunchbox: “If I call 911 because I see an emergency, am I a first responder? …I responded to the scene first.” (43:42)
• Morgan reads the dictionary definition.
• Result: Playful but unresolved; Carrie hangs up in mock disappointment.

---

8. Studio Drama: GoFundMe Beef

[44:57 – 49:30]

• Follow-up on Eddie organizing help for a sick cleaning lady via GoFundMe, but Abby is annoyed he hasn’t supported her own charity efforts, despite her past support of his.
• Abby: “He's over here being like, ‘we need to start a GoFundMe and raise money,’ but it's like there's someone on the show that's trying to raise money for something else, and he doesn't even help.” (46:17)
• Discussion devolves into playful finger-pointing, comparisons, and Amy promising to donate.

---

9. Bonehead Story of the Day

[49:44 – 51:09]

• Lunchbox tells the story of a Florida woman pulled over for driving the wrong way, handing police a credit card and Barnes & Noble card instead of her license—eventually arrested for DUI.
• Fun banter about everyone’s own “wrong way” driving experiences.

---

10. Listener Voicemail: Will Bobby Spoil His Daughter?

[51:13 – 52:37]

• Voicemail asks, now that Bobby’s a dad, does he still plan not to spoil his daughter?
• Bobby: “I don't want to raise a spoiled kid… but again, it's not—there. Yeah.” (51:46)
• Candid responses about striking the right parenting balance.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Morgan (re: lobster ethics): “Did I just turn into a vegan? Did this segment turn me into a vegan?” [06:56]
• Lunchbox (on snitching): “I think I’m doing a good thing for the community. I am a… vigilante. A community helper, community watch, whatever. I think I’m doing that.” [31:46]
• Amy (on Jeremy Piven’s DM): “Our conversation was, check, 1, 2. I replied, 3, 4. …I guess I got freaked out because later he goes, good seeing you… two days after that, he goes, anyway, coffee next week. …Nothing.” [37:22]
• Lunchbox (on GoFundMe drama): “So Abby is annoyed that we’re trying to help somebody else while she’s trying to get help to run her race.” [48:47]

Fans of offbeat banter, genuine conversations about everyday dilemmas, and a close-knit cast that isn’t afraid to get silly, personal, or both.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on Bobby.

[Caller / Listener]

Bobby Bones transmitting.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go.

[Morgan]

Hey, I hope you had a great weekend.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome to Monday's show Morning Studio.

[Lunchbox]

Morning Bones.

[Morgan]

Do you like lobsters to eat them? I would hope. What else are you going to do with them?

[Amy]

Well, yes, I think lobster's okay. I don't have it often but if I do a Dip it in a lot of butter. Sure, it's good, but I'm not like a. Oh, I can't wait to go get some lobster person.

[Morgan]

Lobster feels fancy.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And mostly because growing up, once a year went to Red Lobster. That was the highlight of the year. It was awesome. It's like our special Arkansas Keith would take us. The lobster's still fancy to you guys?

[Ray]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay, good. High dollar research shows that lobsters do feel pain.

[Ray]

Oh, have you never heard of, like, when they put them in the pot

[Morgan]

and they cry, but forever it was. They didn't feel pain. You boy, you'd boil a lobster. They didn't feel pain.

[Amy]

What do you mean? They cry?

[Ray]

Oh, you can hear them.

[Morgan]

Well, that also could be the air into the shell. There were a lot of reasons that they said you would hear that sound. The lobster didn't go, no, not me.

[Ray]

It's talking.

[Morgan]

But it was.

[Amy]

There was like a whistle.

[Ray]

Sure. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Now they're saying lobsters feel pain in a manner similar to that of other animals. And the traditional method for killing the crustacean is boiling them, which is just suffering. So no one is saying we can't eat animals anymore.

[Amy]

Can't we sedate them?

[Morgan]

But. But they're calling for a legal ban of boiling them. And I don't hate it.

[Ray]

What's the difference then? What's the other option?

[Morgan]

Like you would kill their head off. Yeah, like you would kill anything else.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

But then imagine if you boiled a cow and you watched it just suffer and boil.

[Ray]

No, that'd be terrible.

[Morgan]

That's my.

[Ray]

I see what you're saying.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So.

[Ray]

But there's a cooking method, I think, to that, right? There's like a reason why they boil it because it's better for the cook.

[Morgan]

I'm sure. But that doesn't matter if it were boiling a cow, we wouldn't do that. If it's better for the cook.

[Ray]

I got you.

[Morgan]

So I am pro. Don't boil lobsters. I just wish I didn't eat animals at all.

[Amy]

Me too.

[Morgan]

God dang. I love meat, though.

[Amy]

Me too. Yeah, I love a burger.

[Morgan]

I mean, I got a freaking sausage over here and I'm just licking it. It's awesome. Yeah, I know.

[Ray]

Can you imagine if we had to kill our own animals to eat them? Like, I wonder what that would be like, being normal.

[Morgan]

That would be my life age 6 to 13.

[Ray]

I know, but you would kill the animal and then that's what you would eat every day.

[Morgan]

A lot of the day. Sure.

[Amy]

Squirrel.

[Morgan]

Squirrel, deer. I mean, that's how we ate fish.

[Ray]

And you didn't care much about it. Like, you just kind of. That was just part of it. You kill it and you eat it.

[Amy]

When that's how you grow up, it doesn't seem that weird.

[Morgan]

Yeah, everybody hunted in Mount Pine. Everybody ate what they killed. And if you killed more than you could put in the freezer, you gave it away so other people could eat. I don't know. To me, it wasn't that weird. I don't do that now. I don't hunt now. I don't want to kill an animal now. But I completely understand. And hunted for a massive part of my life. I am not. I'm not down with boiling lobsters. Only I didn't care. I didn't eat lobsters anyway. But no more boiling lobsters. I can. I can join on this. It's just the suffering part.

[Ray]

Yeah. It's ridiculous that we think that some animal doesn't feel pain. Like, to even think that. Like. Like some people, they'd be like, oh, yeah, fish, they don't feel anything. Like, you kidding me? They have to.

[Morgan]

To settle the argument, a team of researchers examined how the behavior of Norway lobsters changed if the creatures were given painkillers. In the study, electrical shocks considered painful in humans were administered to the lobsters. When the shocks were delivered to lobsters that had not been treated with painkillers, they attempted to escape. They felt it. They flipped their tails. However, when lobsters were injected with aspirin or had lidocaine dissolved in water, no escaped attempts. So what that showed is the painkiller actually made a difference, so there was pain.

[Amy]

So this is what we would do. Sedate them a little bit and then boil them.

[Morgan]

I don't know if that's what they're saying. I think they're just proving by that method that lobsters do feel pain.

[Amy]

Because then. What if we eat the lobster and then we can't fill our face because

[Ray]

we have the solution. That's true. We don't want that.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly.

[Ray]

Can't feel our faith.

[Morgan]

There is a less painful way. You stun the lobster by putting it in the freezer. You're telling me put it to sleep?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

This is what I'm now anti. Anti. Eating lobster. I've been changed. No, let's not do. Unless there's a way to, like, twist the head.

[Ray]

Yeah. Make it.

[Amy]

But then when it comes out on the plate, isn't that part of it sometimes to have, like, the whole lobster?

[Morgan]

I'm okay with that not being part of it.

[Amy]

Me, too, but okay.

[Morgan]

So it says, stun the lobster by putting in a 35 Fahrenheit or below freezer. 15, 30 minutes. Okay, so you're freezing it. Place the lobster belly down. Locate the small cross or indention on the back of the head. Drive a sharp knife or screwdriver through the point until you hit the other side of the shell.

[Amy]

No.

[Morgan]

Locate the small hole, repeat the process. Return the lobster to the freezer to ensure it's humanely euthanized. Guys, New York Post.

[Amy]

This sounds terrible.

[Ray]

This is what has to be done.

[Morgan]

Amy doesn't have to be done. Did I just turn into a vegan? Did this segment turn me into a vegan? Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been dating my boyfriend for about a year. Overall, good guy. But there's something that's starting to bother me. He lies about the most random, unnecessary things. Like, I'll say, you ever see a certain TV show? And he says, yes, but later it's obvious he hasn't. Or I'll catch him saying, he didn't nap when I saw him asleep earlier. Even stuff like what he ate that day, he just says something for no reason. They're not big lies. They don't seem harmful. But it happens pretty often. And I don't understand why someone would lie about things that truly does not matter. Now I'm starting to wonder if he's lying about small stuff this easily, does that mean he'd lie about bigger things, too? Is this a red flag signed girlfriend

[Bobby Bones]

of a white liar?

[Morgan]

Anybody have an instant reaction? What do you have?

[Amy]

Well, I. I don't think that because he lies about the little things that makes the bigger things lies as well, or I don't think that's the case.

[Morgan]

I agree.

[Amy]

I. I do think this is something, maybe, and I'm not an expert, but stemming from his childhood. And he. It's a hat. Like it's something he got into and a habit. And so I do think there's hope for breaking that. But it would have to be brought to his attention, and he would have to want to change it. And that's hard to do, to confront him about that stuff. But if. If he took a nap and, you know, he took a nap, and then he's telling you just to take a nap. That is really difficult to process. It sounds like stuff. As parents, sometimes we deal with kids like, why are you lying about the stupidest stuff ever? I know what it is. But as parents, we try to call it out. And we try to break the habit so they don't continue to do it. And I, I have, I know kids that have done it as a control thing, A, A, a protective thing. Like even it's the silliest thing, but at least they can have control of the narrative and it's something you want to break. But he's an adult, so that's hard.

[Morgan]

Completely agree. I don't think it means he's lying about big things. You haven't caught him lying about big things. I also completely agree with everything you just said. I used to do that as a kid and mostly it was the small things that didn't make me seem as vulnerable. It could be the smallest of things. I didn't have a lot of control over my life as a kid. But no, I didn't nap. I didn't need a nap. Or yeah, I ate. Even if I didn't. They, to me, they were very meaningful in that instant because it did not show the vulnerability that I felt like I was not allowed to show.

[Amy]

Right.

[Morgan]

But it does, it does feel like trauma. White lies more than anything else. So he is an adult. If it's not been broken, it will not be broken. It doesn't just go away because you're an adult. I think we probably had this a little bit with my wife when I first we started dating.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't realize I was doing it,

[Morgan]

but yeah, I think it's something you talk about. I think it's.

[Amy]

So how does he bring it up? Because yeah, I think, I think it's a she.

[Morgan]

Right? She to he.

[Amy]

She. Yes. So how does she bring it up to him?

[Morgan]

I don't know. It's. Yeah, because the worst thing you want someone to feel is defensive. And if you're like, you're lying about

[Amy]

this, maybe it's like. Cuz I've had to do this with one of my kids once and it's like, I get it, we've all lied. Like lying is a part of life. And so maybe you meet them where they are a little bit so they don't feel like they're the only one that are doing this.

[Ray]

Could you say, do you realize that you're doing.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I'm defensive.

[Amy]

Okay. Hey, I'm curious. Like it, it's interesting to me. And, and I, I want us to have a good connection and I'm having a hard time. If I, if I saw you napping and I know you nap and then I'm defensive.

[Morgan]

You think, okay, it's almost impossible.

[Amy]

I think third party Third party.

[Morgan]

I think if. If he. If he has a therapist.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It could be as easily as what you said. You can be defensive, but without demanding any sort of retort.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Meaning you can say that, but you don't need anything back from him. You're like, hey, I. You a nap. I know you napped. Will you talk to your therapist about why you do that? That way there's no fight. There's no conflict between you two. You're not demanding anything of him. He doesn't need to be defensive in any sort of argument. But he can then go, oh, he then knows, you know, and that's something he could talk about. If he has therapist.

[Amy]

Yeah. If he doesn't have one, get him one.

[Morgan]

If he doesn't have one, it. He just may have to be defensive.

[Amy]

Or y'.

[Morgan]

All.

[Amy]

Or you need to.

[Morgan]

It just may have to be a defensive situation, but you don't want to put them there to begin with.

[Amy]

What about. Would the intentional dialogue script work here? Because that's.

[Morgan]

Somebody pulls it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Boyfriend.

[Morgan]

But I have noticed it's short.

[Amy]

It's short.

[Morgan]

What I just don't want her to do is think he's lying about big things.

[Guest / Listener]

Right.

[Morgan]

I think that's our whole point with this. You could probably find a lot from actually actual experts to help you on what Amy's saying. Not a script, but a situation to walk through. But I do not think he's cheating on you. I do not think he's plotting to murder your mom. I don't think there's anything. Red flag happening.

[Ray]

No.

[Amy]

Because what I've seen with this is most times it's.

[Morgan]

I used to be that kid is why I say that.

[Amy]

Insignificant things.

[Morgan]

It's only insignificant things.

[Amy]

And the other things there. Great.

[Morgan]

Yes. Yes.

[Amy]

So it's like what make it make sense. And you can't. You can't. Right? Because it's. It's there.

[Morgan]

It's based in trauma.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yep.

[Morgan]

Now, if you do catch him in a big lie, what we wrong. And he sucks. But I feel like just from what you told us all good. Like walk through it together and have.

[Amy]

Complete with compassion. Because.

[Morgan]

And then live act. See how that feels about, like, normal crap, too.

[Lunchbox]

You like that?

[Morgan]

How you like them apples?

[Ray]

That sucks.

[Lunchbox]

[Morgan]

Oh, I was wondering where she was going with that.

You know, like, it could be a

I like the Hispanic thing. I think we're going to go with a Rodriguez,

[Morgan]

as in speedy.

[Ray]

No, that's like Annalisa.

[Morgan]

Mike.

[Lunchbox]

I went to college. Mike Rodriguez.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

There we go.

[Morgan]

He's sitting right next to me. Are you being funny? I thought you were doing a joke. No, I'm just like Lunchbox.

[Ray]

I guess I forgot.

[Lunchbox]

And Eddie, I was really being serious about the girl I went to college with. I didn't think about Mike either.

[Morgan]

Show me Rodriguez. Number eight answer worth 16 points. Round two points are doubled. All right, Eddie takes the leave.

[Ray]

Now I'm in trouble. I mean, let's just go with Slater.

[Morgan]

He's going with all the names of people on the show. As in Ray, Raymond, Raymundo Slater. Show me Slater. There are four left. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Gonzalez.

[Morgan]

Show me Gonzalez.

[Lunchbox]

What, as in Speedy Morgan?

[Guest / Listener]

I'm gonna go with another color. Something about colors are really hitting for me right now.

[Amy]

We're going white.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Guest / Listener]

Dana White.

[Morgan]

Her lead in is always a bit weird. Didn't it make sense?

[Ray]

I got scared.

[Morgan]

Yeah. White.

[Lunchbox]

Dana White, huh?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

Walter White.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Dana White.

[Morgan]

Urkel, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Jill White.

[Ray]

Good.

[Morgan]

Okay. How you doing over there on your list?

[Amy]

I. I have two. They haven't said, actually three.

[Morgan]

And you probably. You probably would have won, huh? Yeah, I felt pretty good.

[Amy]

They've done a great job. There's just some obvious ones.

[Ray]

Oh, really, really bad. You' playing Amy.

[Amy]

I know.

[Morgan]

What an obvious. Last round when you finish last. Eddie, it's your la. You're in the lead.

[Ray]

But I kind of. I have nothing written down.

[Morgan]

Smith, Johnson, Brown, Jones, Garcia and Rodriguez are all off the board. 2, 3, 4 left. What do you have?

[Ray]

Let's go with. I mean, what's a. Thinking of a president, you know, like, all I can think is Abraham Lincoln, but that's not a good one. Let's go with Taft, Garfield. Let's go with. We did Johnson already.

[Morgan]

Nothing. All right, over to Lunchbox. Now you're in second place.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I need to be in first, though.

[Ray]

It's tough, huh? Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

It is tough, man.

[Morgan]

Points are tripled.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah. Give me someone with a last name. Man, who is someone that I hung out with, like in high school. Reinhardt. No, give me Alan. Alan as in DJ Allen.

[Morgan]

Who's DJ you know who that is?

[Amy]

No.

[Lunchbox]

I grew up with him.

[Morgan]

Okay, DJ Allen.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. Against the other one. I'm gonna be so mad.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, you're in last place, but if

[Morgan]

you get one, you will not be in last place. In lunchbox. Will go home.

[Amy]

Yeah, look at your list.

[Guest / Listener]

You can. This one came to me, like, super last minute, but I was thinking of Morgan Evans. Chris Evans. We got a lot of people. The last name Evans.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Guest / Listener]

Evans feels pretty strong to me. So I think I'm going to go with Evans.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man. I don't like it.

[Ray]

There's no Evans.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it's not it. You know what, here's what's funny. Chris Evans and Morgan Evans, I believe they're foreign. They're not American.

[Morgan]

Ah, okay.

[Lunchbox]

So I, I'm, I'm just saying I don't know a lot of Evans in America.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

But I could be wrong.

[Morgan]

All right, cool. Show me Evans. Yes. Yes. Chris Evans is an American actor born in Boston, Massachusetts.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you know what? I'm thinking about the Hemsworth people.

[Ray]

Yeah, you were wrong.

[Morgan]

And Hemsworth didn't make it though, so you'd have been right. Our winner, we can have a celebration. First is Eddie.

[Morgan]

Okay. Hey, breaking news. Breaking news. Amy has lined it up today. You guys will be getting your blood drawn for the low T who has testosterone challenge. Whoa, today? All right. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, you didn't even tell me if I'm supposed to fast, if I'm. I mean, there may be medical reasons and I may not be able to do it today.

[Amy]

You're fine.

[Morgan]

Sounds like an excuse.

[Ray]

I will tell you, I woke up feeling great today.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah?

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Well, all the listeners out there, you should know Lunchbox and Eddie fight over who has the most testosterone. So we thought we would do a public service and find out and then also share the benefits of making sure you're taken care of. I gotta find, like, a way to make this, like, positive. So, Amy, what happened? Who do we have?

[Amy]

So we have the guys. You feel good about this? I told y' all there was a guy coming. I thought maybe didn't know his exact role. Is he a nurse? Is he a first responder? Emt? He's a paramedic. So a male paramedic. I know they probably wanted a hot nurse.

[Lunchbox]

I would have loved a hot nurse.

[Amy]

A male paramedic named Chad.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, God.

[Amy]

Is coming. And I wouldn't want to make enemies

[Morgan]

with someone about to poke you with a knee, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but I mean, God, I mean. But I don't. I mean, it feels weird with Chad grabbing my arm and, you know, rolling up my sleeve.

[Morgan]

Sexual to you to give blood.

[Amy]

Wait, I bet he's going to tie a. Tie a thing around his arm.

[Morgan]

Like, I wanted it to be hot.

[Ray]

Oh, no, I understand. He's worried that his testosterone will go down when he sees Chad.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. What if it goes up?

[Bobby Bones]

No, guys, it's not that.

[Ray]

Oh, it's not?

[Morgan]

No.

[Ray]

He sees Chad and it's skyrocketing.

[Show Outro / Theme Voice]

No, no.

[Morgan]

You guys are so weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not.

[Morgan]

That's not testosterone.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what you guys are about.

[Ray]

Maybe it's a good thing Chad's coming. Lunch bar.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Do you know how long it takes? Like, after he comes and gets their blood, how many days he has?

[Amy]

Oh, let me find that out.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Amy]

How long for us to get the results? Yeah, good question.

[Ray]

I would think it would take a while, right? Not like.

[Amy]

I mean, when I got mine done in two days.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I gotta take it to the tea bank.

[Amy]

Well, they're. Yeah, they're sending it off and then there's no.

[Morgan]

There's no testosterone bank. Yes, there is a lab.

[Ray]

They call it the lab.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. There's no testosterone bank where it's just. Everybody's testosterone's there. But the goal will be to see who has a higher testosterone. Lunchbox or Eddie. And our. The bets are in. Amy. Thanks. Lunchbox.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Everybody thinks. Everybody thinks.

[Bobby Bones]

Me.

[Morgan]

Okay, let's just everybody get on record here. Let's go to everybody who's got a role here on the show. Amy.

[Amy]

Lunchbox.

[Morgan]

Morgan.

[Guest / Listener]

Eddie.

[Ray]

Hey.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie. Oh, man.

[Ray]

We're even.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Eddie. Well, that was rude, Right?

[Morgan]

Scuba Steve.

[Lunchbox]

I think Eddie, just because he. Because of. We're very similar, and I think with the loss of hair and everything.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

I don't know.

[Ray]

Amy was saying that if you have hair loss and you're Whatever.

[Morgan]

One of the signs. So Eddie has more signs. Just because. Let's probably say the deep voice means nothing.

[Ray]

It doesn't mean nothing.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly.

[Morgan]

I don't know that it means nothing. He's always had a deep voice.

[Amy]

Eddie can barely wake up up and face the day.

[Ray]

That's true. That's true.

[Lunchbox]

My libido is off the charts.

[Ray]

Mine, though. My libido.

[Morgan]

You two should get together.

[Lunchbox]

I'm good.

[Morgan]

You can fix that with each other.

[Abby]

Abby, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really think.

[Amy]

Lunchbox. Wait. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

Is that three? Three.

[Amy]

Wait.

[Morgan]

Okay. I. I think you're the tiebreaker here. Yeah, but it's. I'm not picking it, but I think it's probably going to be Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Morgan]

Boom. Why?

[Amy]

Why not?

[Lunchbox]

I scream testosterone. No, you don't.

[Amy]

Guys.

[Ray]

You're just.

[Bobby Bones]

Basically just a deep voice.

[Lunchbox]

The deep voice.

[Morgan]

It's the deep voice and the hair.

[Bobby Bones]

He's hairy.

[Amy]

No, but it's. Lack of hair on the head is higher.

[Lunchbox]

T. Correct. Nah, it's. Hair loss is a sign of lighty.

[Amy]

No, it's chest hair.

[Morgan]

Question. Are either one of you impotent?

[Ray]

No. Oh, Lunchbox didn't answer.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what that is, so I can't answer.

[Morgan]

He doesn't know.

[Amy]

Is that.

[Ray]

Hey, is that when you can't.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Ray]

No Good kiss.

[Morgan]

Levitas are good.

[Ray]

All good.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Guest / Listener]

Yeah, I think I might want to change now that I'm seeing the common symptoms, because you got acne, increased body hair, mood swings, sleep apnea, and reduced fertility. This guy can fall asleep anywhere and he has mood swings.

[Ray]

This is for high tea.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Unexpected hair loss or thinning, especially on the body face, or general reduction in scalp hair can be a very big sign of low tea.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow. Oh, I thought. Yeah. High testosterone symptoms are acne. Anybody got any zits?

[Ray]

Nope.

[Amy]

No, I'm starting to get some from my testosterone.

[Morgan]

You are. Increased body hair, mood swings, like Morgan said.

[Ray]

And mood swings. Lunchbox got.

[Morgan]

He does have that.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Chest hair lunchbox.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's.

[Ray]

It's a pet.

[Morgan]

It's like taco meat. Yeah, that's okay. It is what it is.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

If you, like, took a taco and just dumped the meat out of the shell on somebody's chest, that's what his looks like.

[Ray]

Oh, interesting.

[Morgan]

So we a paramedic coming by today after the show.

[Amy]

Paramedic.

[Lunchbox]

I hope he's bringing the truck. He better be bringing the truck to

[Morgan]

draw you guys blood.

[Amy]

Okay, I think he's walking over because

[Morgan]

his office is right over there.

[Ray]

No ambulance

[Morgan]

familiar with Crime Stoppers? Yeah, call. Tell somebody what's up.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think Lunchbox called them on me.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did he call them on you?

[Amy]

Because I was driving with a fired license.

[Morgan]

Oh, boy. Okay, well, he. Lunchbox has also called them again.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. This is his hobby.

[Morgan]

So he called Crime Stoppers, which I didn't even know you can just call a number.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys want to guess why

[Morgan]

you call Crime Stoppers? Because I have the audio of his call to Crime Stoppers.

[Ray]

I have a guess.

[Lunchbox]

Go.

[Ray]

He saw someone not wearing a seatbelt.

[Morgan]

No, it has to do with somebody on the show. He called him on the show.

[Amy]

Okay. What is this his thing?

[Morgan]

Yes. He wants to call Crime Stoppers on us and get one of us arrested.

[Amy]

If he called them on me again, I can't imagine.

[Lunchbox]

What are you gonna do?

[Morgan]

I don't know for what reason.

[Amy]

That's what. I'm not doing anything illegal.

[Morgan]

Okay. Crime Stoppers, anybody?

[Ray]

He said he was. He saw me speeding outside the ramp. I don't know. Maybe he saw me speeding again.

[Amy]

I mean, he said that I speed up and down the ramp.

[Lunchbox]

And you admitted to it.

[Morgan]

He's like the hall monitor.

[Ray]

Really is.

[Morgan]

He thinks he's the hall monitor.

[Amy]

Speed on the ramp. You have to move cautiously.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox. Why'd you call Crime Stoppers?

[Lunchbox]

Because I wanted them to pull over Morgan. Because she was driving with vertigo, and she admitted that she was being an unsafe driver, that she can't turn left or right, so it's hard for her to see left or right. So how is she driving every day to work? She was driving with vertigo.

[Morgan]

But none of what you said is true. She never said I can't turn left or right.

[Lunchbox]

No, she did. In the studio. She does this.

[Guest / Listener]

Said I have to turn carefully.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, and when you're driving, you can't be carefully turning to look at.

[Guest / Listener]

I thought you want me to be careful while driving.

[Morgan]

Here's Launchbox calling Crime Stoppers to turn Morgan in to try to get her arrested. Go ahead.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

Hello, this is Crime Stoppers. How can I help you?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, man, I was just calling because I need to report a crime about an unsafe driver, and I was hoping you guys could bust her.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

What? What's the crime that she's committing?

[Lunchbox]

She's driving while impaired. She has vertigo. And I sit next to her at work, and she can't even turn to her right or left. But she is driving her Ford Bronco to work every day, which is unsafe on the road.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

Okay, I don't know if we've got a specified crime here or not. She has vertigo, which is something that people get naturally. She's not on any kind of narcotics or.

[Morgan]

Right, right.

[Lunchbox]

No, I understand that, but it's still unsafe driving. I. I think that she should be taking an Uber, a Lyft. She should have her fiance driver, and she leaves work around noon every day. And it's a white Ford Bronco, and the license plate is caged.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

Well, we would have to work with the police on that, and then I could get my reward.

[Lunchbox]

Once you guys work with the police, you guys give me the Reward money.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

We do offer reward money for.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it's basically a dui. I mean, it's driving while, you know, impaired.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Sound Effect / Interjection]

Really promise a reward, she gets arrested.

[Lunchbox]

All right, thank you so much. I'll look for that 5,000.

[Morgan]

Just a couple. Couple things to unpack here.

[Bobby Bones]

One year.

[Morgan]

Tattletale.

[Lunchbox]

Am I?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I twice said it.

[Ray]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

I think I'm trying to keep everybody safe around the city.

[Morgan]

I think that she made the decision that it was safe for her to drive.

[Lunchbox]

She can barely walk down the hall. She has to walk so slow, like it's not safe.

[Morgan]

But she said that's when she's walking, when she's sitting, she's good.

[Lunchbox]

So, Morgan, tell me, was it hard to look left and right?

[Guest / Listener]

Yeah, I used my whole body when I did it. It just looked differently than it normally does.

[Ray]

So it is kind of hard to move left and right in a car, you know, like your seat belt on,

[Morgan]

but if you're in a neck brace, then you can't drive.

[Ray]

No, I would say no.

[Morgan]

What do you think about that call?

[Amy]

I mean, I think it's ridiculous. She. I don't think Morgan would put herself or anyone else in jeopardy.

[Abby]

She.

[Amy]

Clearly. It's difficult to drive, but she's able to do it.

[Morgan]

Do you not feel weird about calling, like, 911 and Crime Stoppers just in general, like, wasting people's time?

[Lunchbox]

No, because I think I'm doing a good thing for the community. I am a.

[Ray]

What?

[Lunchbox]

What is that?

[Ray]

Vigilante man.

[Lunchbox]

Vigilante. A community helper, community watch, whatever. I think I'm doing that.

[Morgan]

They ever get back to you?

[Lunchbox]

No, I haven't heard from.

[Ray]

That's crazy, though. They'll pay you if it leads to an arrest.

[Lunchbox]

It does.

[Ray]

No matter what the.

[Morgan]

He just thought it was $5,000 for some reason. Is that the standard?

[Lunchbox]

I see that on TV sometimes. Like a murderer or something. They're like, oh, $5,000 leading to the.

[Amy]

Whoever's arresting specific.

[Morgan]

Is there a crime stoppers, like, 1-800-number? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there is. And how did you find it?

[Lunchbox]

You just go to Crime Stoppers, and it gives you the number.

[Ray]

Where do you go to Crime Stoppers.

[Lunchbox]

Is it a buildingstoppers.com?

[Morgan]

it's rare. That lunchbox suggests a guest, and he also feels like he can actually bring the guest to the show. And so I like for everybody to be open about this.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I feel. Oh, our hearts are open. Our minds are open.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

We're welcoming toward his suggestion. We're not gonna make Any rash. Everybody good, right?

[Ray]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay. You know he's up to something, right?

[Ray]

Of course.

[Lunchbox]

Always wait up to something. I think this guest would be perfect for our show. Go ahead, write in our demographic. You want me to name their name?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, why are they coming to town?

[Lunchbox]

They're doing two different shows in town. They're making appearances right over down the street at Zany's, the comedy club. And I think they would be perfect to come sit on our studio on that couch and we interview this person.

[Morgan]

What would you talk to him about, you think?

[Lunchbox]

Just life. Maybe send them on a coffee date.

[Ray]

Send them on a coffee date?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

What?

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. No, no, no, guys. No, no. Yeah, I know where you're. No, you said Zanies and date. And now I know. And now I know.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I got.

[Ray]

I got it. This is great.

[Amy]

This is not.

[Morgan]

Who is it?

[Lunchbox]

Jeremy Piven is coming to town in less than three weeks. Like, we are, like, next month, middle of next month. He will be here for two days. And I was like, oh, my goodness. We bring him in, sit him down. Amy has that look in her eye. He looks at her. He's like, I know you. It would be.

[Morgan]

I think he would know when he comes in.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Ray]

He's probably already DM'd Amy, like, hey, I'm coming into town in, like, two weeks.

[Amy]

So he doesn't know where I live,

[Morgan]

guys, for new listeners or people that didn't hear.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So a couple weeks ago, Amy was at a red carpet event in Austin and for some podcast awards, and Jeremy Piven was walking the red carpet, and he later DM'd Amy and said, 1, 2. Amy said, 3, 4. And then he said, you want to grab some coffee? And Amy never responded, I don't think. Unless you did and didn't tell us.

[Morgan]

By the way, he was on Entourage for a long time. Actor. He was on Seinfeld way back in the day, too.

[Ray]

Yeah, he was.

[Morgan]

It was like the George Costanza actor. So you don't want to come in?

[Amy]

Justice, you're breaking.

[Morgan]

Are you rational?

[Amy]

Okay, well, I. Yeah, I'm fine. It's just. Yeah. And then I feel bad that I don't think. I didn't ever reply, but I do think he thinks that I live in Austin because that's where he was gonna be when he was like, hey, coffee date.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, what a great surprise. Then when he finds out, wow, she's actually in Nashville, and I'm gonna be here for two nights. You could Save him on a hotel room. He would have to pay for one.

[Morgan]

Just stay. Yeah, stay at the house.

[Lunchbox]

You got an extra bedroom.

[Amy]

That is not happening.

[Ray]

Yeah, I haven't lunchbox. I think you messed up.

[Morgan]

You never responded. No.

[Ray]

Why? We should have just booked them and not told Amy.

[Amy]

Oh, my God. I would have. What would have been so crazy is if y' all booked him and he came in and he never put two and two together.

[Lunchbox]

That's why it's funny. It's a test.

[Amy]

I mean, that would be.

[Morgan]

So we'll see if he really loves you.

[Amy]

I don't think it's love, but that would be interesting because that's the thing. Like, he's been famous for a very long time. Who knows how many girls he meets at events and DMs, so probably one in a million.

[Morgan]

No, look, if you're the only one he's ever done that to, and he's so sad because he never got a response.

[Amy]

I just don't think that that's. I don't think it. It's not like he's even circled back. Hey, did you. Did you get this?

[Morgan]

Okay, that's pride, though. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And, Amy, if you're not gonna have. If we're not gonna have him in here, then we have you a ticket to the show. You have to go. You have to go to go to

[Morgan]

Zany and you have to sit in the front row.

[Amy]

Okay. Again, I think he'd be. I don't know that he would put two and two together. Because also, when your mind thinks someone lives somewhere else, you're not thinking you're going to go to Nashville and then see them. Also, he doesn't know that I'm in radio. Well, my handles radio, Amy, on Instagram.

[Lunchbox]

So you probably look at your pictures.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't. Bobby. No, that would be awkward.

[Morgan]

She said no.

[Lunchbox]

So you're going to be open minded.

[Ray]

Yeah. And what if we just. What if, like, our listeners want to hear an interview with him? Can you put your personal life aside for our listeners?

[Amy]

Yes, I can go to the green room.

[Morgan]

No. Oh, you. You step out during the interview, Amy.

[Amy]

Well, just because now it's. I've made it awkward. I put that on me. I made it awkward by not replying at all because I got a little nervous and then I didn't know what to do. And it.

[Morgan]

Just consider it.

[Ray]

It's never too late. Can she reply now and be like, hey, I see you're coming to Zany's?

[Amy]

Well, yeah. Again, he doesn't know where I live. They'll be like, oh, hey, it looks. I could say it looks as though. You think? Because he did invite me to his comedy show in San Antonio and he put road trip. The only way that's a road trip is if he thinks I live in. So I could say, oh, looks as it appears as though you think I live in Austin, but guess what? I live in Nashville.

[Morgan]

It appears weeks later he said all

[Ray]

that, but she never responded. Wow, I'm confused about the conversation.

[Morgan]

Hey, when you're a hot lady, okay, and you got dudes coming at you all the time, what else to do?

[Amy]

Our conversation was, check, 1, 2. I replied, 3, 4. And then after that, I guess I got freaked out because later he goes, good seeing you. And then he sent a screenshot of his show in like a poster for his show in San Antonio. Road trip, exclamation point.

[Morgan]

Maybe he just wants you to buy tickets. Like, ticket sales are low.

[Amy]

I sent nothing. So then two days after that, he goes, anyway, coffee next week. Nothing.

[Morgan]

Oh, dang. He fought his pride once to go anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Just think about it. Okay, you thought about it. You're good.

[Amy]

Oh, we can talk about it.

[Morgan]

Okay, fair enough. We can talk about it. I mean, is that what we're doing now?

[Ray]

What else are you gonna talk about?

[Amy]

Bobby and I can talk about it offline.

[Morgan]

Fair enough.

[Lunchbox]

We want to be in the decision making. Okay, well, we'll check.

[Morgan]

We'll check back on this soon.

[Show Outro / Theme Voice]

Wake up, wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Emmy, Lunchbox, Morgan too, Scooby, Steve, Red habit trying to put you through. Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Bone store.

[Morgan]

Now time for the morning corny.

[Lunchbox]

The morning corny.

[Amy]

Why are diamonds always so tense?

[Morgan]

Why are diamonds always so tense?

[Amy]

Because they're under a lot of pressure.

[Morgan]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

That was the morning corny bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go to Carrie, who lives in Oregon.

[Morgan]

You know we were talking about that Teacher Appreciation Week. Remember the segment? And then I talked about a lot of jobs that come to my mind. Like thankless jobs that should be appreciated more. So Carrie's on and Carrie, you want to say a little something?

[Caller / Listener]

911 dispatchers and you named all great. All great things like especially like the linemen. All the people that we work with every day that don't always get appreciated. And you named officers and firefighters. But 911 dispatchers are also first responders.

[Amy]

That's true. We. We need to hold on.

[Morgan]

No, I'm all good with Saying maybe I don't understand. So I don't appreciate as much as I should.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely.

[Morgan]

They got to be focused. Whenever things aren't going good, when you

[Amy]

call them, they answer. They're responding first.

[Morgan]

No, they're not going. Going to the scene. I, And I could be.

[Amy]

Sometimes they talk through the scene.

[Morgan]

I hear you.

[Amy]

Maybe they, the, the first responders that are going to be on the scene aren't getting there, so they need to walk someone through how to do CPR or how to handle the situation. Like, they're, they're virtual first responders.

[Morgan]

Okay. I can accept virtual first responders. Yeah, I don't, I, I feel like if you're on a phone, though, that's not a first responder.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you're, you're, you're respond. Hello, first respond.

[Morgan]

But if you call me then, and I respond to you, well, you're.

[Amy]

But that's not your. This is their day to day, and I respect it.

[Morgan]

I don't want to be the person that doesn't. I respect it completely.

[Amy]

They have to keep the person calm. They have to stay calm. They may have to tell them a laundry list of things to do.

[Morgan]

My wife does all those things to me, stays calm, keeps me calm, tells me things to do.

[Amy]

Right. But I, I'm, I, I can get behind first responder, however you want to put it.

[Guest / Listener]

Virtual.

[Morgan]

Maybe my definition of respond is wrong because to me, respond is you go in person. Maybe respond is just an emergency response even spoken.

[Amy]

Yes, because you're. And you're the one dispatching the first responder that goes in person.

[Morgan]

He's itching. He's.

[Lunchbox]

So If I call 911 because I see an emergency, am I a first responder? Like, I mean, I'm.

[Amy]

No, you're a note. You're a notifier.

[Lunchbox]

I'm, I'm on the call. I'm saying this is what we need. Telling them what's going down, describing the situation. I am getting the help there. So I responded to the scene first.

[Morgan]

Okay, let me read a definition. A first responder is a person with specialized training who is among the first to arrive and provide a sentence or incident resolution at the scene of emergencies.

[Lunchbox]

There you go.

[Morgan]

First responders typically include law enforcement officers, emergency medical services, fire service members.

[Lunchbox]

What about those?

[Amy]

So keyword there is arrive.

[Morgan]

I did not search virtual first responders.

[Amy]

Check that out, see if there's something.

[Morgan]

And listen, I, I'm sure I don't have the understanding of what 911 dispatchers are going through and how difficult. That is how stressful that is. And they got to remain calm. And I don't take anything away from that. So that's not my job. That's not my goal here. Carrie, how do you feel about that?

[Caller / Listener]

That was a huge fail, but thanks.

[Amy]

Oh, wait. No, no, no. I. I got you.

[Ray]

And we thought about it, Carrie.

[Amy]

Like, we're like, okay, I thought about it, and I'm with you.

[Morgan]

Did I hang up?

[Amy]

I stand with her. Oh, she's gone, guys.

[Lunchbox]

She mad. She mad.

[Morgan]

What's gonna suck today is when one of you guys have to call 911 and they're like, I heard that segment.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

Just wait. Quick recap. We have a cleaning lady here in the building. The building hires her, not our company. Eddie was talking with her. She was like, I've been kind of sick, but I can't take time off. Eddie goes, let's start a GoFundMe. Kind of starts a revolution here in the studio. We're going, hey, find out what she needs. You with me?

[Ray]

Okay.

[Morgan]

We've been doing this for a while, and Eddie's like, I got it. Turns out Eddie went to Abby, and it's like Abby started GoFundMe for her.

[Amy]

Oh, because he doesn't know how.

[Morgan]

No, because he does.

[Ray]

That's not true.

[Morgan]

Abby, what happened?

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Morgan]

Didn't Eddie tell you to start to go fund me?

[Abby]

No, he didn't. I'm annoyed with him because he won't donate to my, like, charity thing.

[Ray]

Yeah, I was like, I didn't ask Abby to do this.

[Abby]

Yeah, he's been talking about how he wants.

[Morgan]

Okay, I understood that wrong. Did you? Were you doing it yourself, then?

[Ray]

Yeah, we're still working on it.

[Morgan]

Okay, so you haven't started the go.

[Ray]

Yeah, but I am not asking Abby for help.

[Amy]

Who's we? We're still working on it. Who's helping you?

[Ray]

I mean. No, no. Just me. Did I say we?

[Amy]

Yeah, I meant me.

[Morgan]

Did you? Am I getting my wires crossed? Did you ask somebody to do a GoFundMe, set it up?

[Ray]

No, I have not asked anyone to help me.

[Amy]

Why'd you say we?

[Ray]

Just, I. I see this as a group effort. That's it. I will spearhead it for sure, but it's definitely a group. A group effort.

[Morgan]

Okay, you're being weird. Okay. Okay, so you're mad at him. Why?

[Abby]

Well, I'm just annoyed because he's over here being like, we need to start a GoFundMe and raise money, but it's like there's someone on the show that's trying to raise money for something else, and he doesn't even help. And I sent him the link to, like, the St. Jude. Nothing. Nothing back. Remember? He brought it up.

[Morgan]

These would be a little different, though.

[Ray]

Very different.

[Amy]

Abby's not sick, but I'm raising it for St. Jude.

[Abby]

The kids at St. Jude.

[Morgan]

It's still like, Abby.

[Ray]

How many years have you done this, Abby?

[Abby]

Like, Abby?

[Morgan]

This is.

[Abby]

I've been on the show six years.

[Ray]

Six years she's been asking for money

[Amy]

if Eddie would. The only way this is even a little bit comparable is if Eddie were to be running a race and. And, like, asking us to donate to him instead of you. Right.

[Abby]

Yeah, I did donate to his. When he did the walk.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. That. That is.

[Morgan]

I think she's upset that Eddie just hasn't donated to her because I don't think it's a fair comparison.

[Ray]

Right.

[Morgan]

Of GoFundMes.

[Amy]

Abby, will you send me the link, please?

[Ray]

Oh, because you're gonna donate?

[Amy]

Yeah, because I did. I think I was gonna remember. I got. I said I was gonna donate last year, and I didn't.

[Morgan]

We don't remember you did that, Amy.

[Amy]

Well, I'm telling all my friends.

[Morgan]

That sucks of you. Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah, I remember feeling really bad, like, oh, dang. So I would like to donate.

[Morgan]

Okay, so the update is. No update with the cleaning ladies.

[Ray]

Not yet.

[Morgan]

Abby's not upset because you wanted her to go fund me. She's upset you don't donate to her GoFundMe.

[Ray]

Right.

[Morgan]

She'd rather you donate to her running a half marathon to help somebody in the office. That's what it is. Because she's upset that you are doing a different one for somebody else than donating to her.

[Amy]

Now, that's a perfect breakdown, let me tell you. She's upset because she donated to his.

[Ray]

That was a long time ago, Amy.

[Morgan]

That was also five years ago.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I know Abby's heart. She wants to help our cleaning person as well.

[Ray]

So. Abby, if I don't donate to your run, you won't donate to the cleaning lady?

[Abby]

Yes, that's a good question about that.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Ray]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Abby]

I will. I want to. I'm just annoyed that you keep talking about something else when you could also.

[Morgan]

I told you guys. I told you.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not wrong.

[Amy]

Abby. I'm trying to help you.

[Morgan]

I'm not wrong. I told you.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Abby]

I don't know what I'm saying.

[Amy]

I have been.

[Abby]

I will donate.

[Amy]

I've been corrected.

[Ray]

That backfired, Abby.

[Morgan]

So Abby is annoyed that we're trying to help somebody else when she's trying to get help to run her race.

[Ray]

Correct.

[Abby]

Just make.

[Morgan]

That's crazy. That's crazy. That's wild.

[Ray]

I didn't know you had that in you.

[Abby]

I think it's coming out all wrong.

[Morgan]

It's not. It's coming out exactly as you feel it. Oh, my God. No, no, no. Okay, Eddie, we're still trying to get an update. Yes, we can. Guys, do not ask for a single shred of charity until you donate to Abby. Because anything for anybody else, it does not matter until you donate to Abby's half marathon. Capiche? Everybody. Oh, gosh. Okay, that's wild.

[Ray]

You heard it here first.

[Morgan]

You heard it.

[Amy]

Remind me first not to ask Abby to donate to Mercy Ships. But Abby, if I donate to yours.

[Morgan]

It's very quick with Abby's charity Bobby Bone Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Bonehead story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Tampa, Florida. A 52 year old woman was out for a drive and she takes a right turn. Ah, one way street, going the wrong way. She gets pulled over. Police walk up to the window, say, ma', am, can I see your driver's license please? And she goes, yeah, yeah, hold on one second. She hands him a credit card. Like, ma', am, that's a credit card. And she goes, oh, you're right, my bad, my bad. Pulls out her next id. Barnes and Noble card. And they say, ma', am, can you step out of the vehicle?

[Bobby Bones]

She ran out of cards.

[Lunchbox]

Ah, she had been drinking. Dui, of course.

[Morgan]

You ever driven down a one way the wrong way?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Yeah, me too.

[Amy]

Especially when I'm in another city.

[Morgan]

Yeah, me too. That's exactly when I did it. And never for long, but something just

[Bobby Bones]

doesn't feel right from the minute

[Morgan]

something just like comes over. You're like, something right about this.

[Bobby Bones]

And then all of a sudden, people

[Morgan]

are waving at you.

[Bobby Bones]

You're like, wow, people are friendly here. And they're actually just saying, hey, hey, turn around.

[Morgan]

So I've done it and then I've

[Bobby Bones]

had somebody come at me the wrong way.

[Morgan]

Like I'm driving and they're coming down and they're going pretty fast. Luckily I noticed it quick and got in the other lane. But yeah, it's pretty easy if you don't really know your surroundings.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Where'd you do yours?

[Amy]

Well, I don't.

[Morgan]

You don't want to say?

[Amy]

No, I just don't remember.

[Morgan]

Oh, you just know.

[Amy]

You have. You don't remember a specifically. It's Been in an unfamiliar place, because otherwise, I wouldn't do that.

[Morgan]

A cordlock. All right, there you go.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day, Bones. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Voicemail.

[Caller / Listener]

You've always said that you wanted your kids to work hard and know how hard it was to grow up with nothing and not be given everything. But now that you have a precious little baby girl, don't you just want to give her everything? Or do you still feel the same? Love the show.

[Morgan]

My wife asks me this sometimes. Like, don't you just want to give her everything? Not really. I don't know, though. I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

I'm not there yet.

[Ray]

Still early.

[Morgan]

I think those are. Those decisions you have to make whenever those decisions are to be made. Like, I don't want to raise a spoiled kid.

[Amy]

You don't?

[Morgan]

I. I don't. But again, it's not. I. There. Yeah.

[Amy]

And it's hard to go back once you've started to do certain things.

[Morgan]

Can't un. Ring a bell.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I do think about that a lot, but that really hasn't come into play. And that's something that is just something that will exist in the future that I can't until it happens. I'm not really able to, like, make up my mind on it. I. I'm gonna try to do it, but I don't know. I just don't want to spoil a kid. And also, you know how kids are with their parents. And, like, I used to walk to school both ways.

[Ray]

Poor.

[Morgan]

It's just what my kid's gonna hear me say. Like, I was poor my whole life, and now you. That's just gonna be white noise to them. And so then it's gonna be.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't have a good answer

[Morgan]

for this, but I do think about this, so I just want to acknowledge that this is something I do think about a lot of.

[Lunchbox]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we'll see what's up.

[Morgan]

Hey, I'll update you.

[Ray]

There you go. In a few years.

[Morgan]

It's crazy that people buy designer baby clothes. Yeah, that's wild.

[Amy]

That's for them, not for. I mean.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Baby doesn't know.

[Morgan]

No, that's crazy. My. Our baby now is just getting my hand me downs. They're way big.

[Ray]

But all your workout shorts.

[Bobby Bones]

We just rap socks.

[Morgan]

All right, we're done. All right, bye, everybody.
