Episode Overview

This episode dives into the interplay of privacy, boundaries, and relationships in a world saturated by social media and public oversharing. Host Morgan and her co-host ("Morgan's friend") unpack trending pop culture moments, personal stories, and discussions about how internet culture affects how we see ourselves, celebrities, and each other. The conversation is candid and lively, ranging from hot pop culture controversies to deeply personal reflections on vulnerability, privacy, and the pressure to share.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opener: Vision Stories and Podcast Structure

• [01:55] Fun banter about Morgan being blind in one eye, a story about awkward learner’s permit moments, and family denial—setting a casual, confessional tone.
• Morgan: “We can't see out of our left eye… our parents, bless her heart, they got a lot wrong.” (02:32)
• The co-host explains their recurring pop culture roundup format—random pop culture, life stories, and plenty of humor. (03:00–03:10)

---

2. Pop Culture and Outrage: Kristen Bell's Anniversary Post

• [03:41–11:41]
• Kristen Bell posts a dark marriage joke for her 12th anniversary, sparking social media outrage.
• Initial reactions are measured; both hosts believe online culture takes everything too seriously.
• Morgan: “I feel like we live in a day and age where everything is taken so seriously and it's just not always that deep.” (04:24)
• The co-host introduces the "bean soup theory": not everything online is meant for every consumer, but many treat it as such. (05:19)
• Criticism of online echo chambers, performative outrage, and the urge to insert oneself into every conversation.
  • Morgan: "People need to toughen up and touch grass more often and get off their screens. We're all guilty of it." (06:38)
• Advocacy for curating one’s feed, blocking or scrolling past content that bothers you, and resisting the urge to publicly announce outrage.
• Discussion of the possibility that the post (and drama) may be a manufactured PR moment to promote Kristen Bell’s show. (09:49)

---

3. Personal Example: The "Bean Soup Theory" and Social Media Criticism

• [12:35–16:07]
• The co-host shares a story about posting a personal recipe (adrenal elixir) and being criticized online for supposedly promoting 'gimmicks.'
• Reinforces the core idea: if content isn’t for you, just scroll on. Not everything is meant for everyone.
• Co-host: "This is why I hardly ever post. Everybody's got an opinion." (15:40)
• Morgan: “We all have different views… just because somebody did not experience life the same way that you did does not mean what they're doing or what they're experiencing is wrong.” (16:07)

---

4. Megan Maroney's Color Branding: Personal Branding in Pop Music

• [18:17–22:54]
• Morgan expresses admiration for Megan Maroney's unique "album color" branding strategy.
• They theorize about Maroney's next color era (yellow, possibly purple), tying color symbolism to Maroney's rumored romantic life and branding genius.
• Morgan: “She pivoted to a degree that could help her brand herself as an artist. And she does that so well. I love it.” (18:53)
• Fun, light banter about favorite colors, personal change vs. consistency, and how branding can create community.
• Co-host: “…because she chose colors, she's gonna have eras for decades...” (22:32)

5. Concert Etiquette and Celebrity Rumors: Keith Urban

• [23:00–28:50]
• Shares recent experience at a Keith Urban concert—praises his showmanship, stage presence, and handling of viral fan interactions.
• Tells stories of Urban giving away guitars, interacting with fans regarding personal announcements (e.g., pregnancy), and responding to awkward crowd moments.
• Explains the public's persistent urge to read meaning into an artist’s performances, even when nothing’s there.
• Comment on how celebrities’ private lives are scrutinized, especially during difficult times (e.g., public divorces).
• Morgan: “…if you're someone who lives life on a stage, and you're a public figure, people tend to think they are privileged to know more details about your life than they really ought to know.” (27:20)
• Both hosts express empathy for public figures coping with public and private stress.

---

6. Privacy vs. Oversharing in Relationships: Dan & Phil, Becca Tilly, and The Personal Spectrum

• [29:14–37:27]
• Commentary on YouTubers Dan Howe and Phil Lester’s 16-year secret relationship and the difficulty of holding back happy news in a culture of sharing.
• Co-host (on not sharing): “There's parts of me that wish I could be… have a husband and kids y’all just don't know about.” (32:07)
• Morgan shares her preference for privacy. The co-host finds it nearly impossible not to share important personal things with the world.
• Both agree personal comfort and context (e.g., being out, safety, emotional readiness) should dictate privacy boundaries—not public expectation.
• Discussion about posting partners on social media, privacy-triggered drama (the infamous "hey girl" DMs), and learning red flags in relationships through what surfaces when you go public.
• Broader topic: the balance between protecting one’s peace and authenticity versus sharing and connecting—both have value.

---

7. Living Together & Individual Values

• [40:31–46:24]
• Spontaneous discussion of Morgan moving in with her boyfriend, the accidental podcast reveal, and the differences in how each approaches relationships and cohabitation.
• Morgan: "I'm so guarded... I like the idea of not living with someone until I'm married. But... let people live. And if it's a mistake, you'll know in due time and you'll deal with that."
• The co-host explains the decision to live together—practical, loving, not driven by peer pressure, and rooted in precise self-awareness about needs for organization and compatibility.
• Respectful, affirming approach to divergent views on love, partnership, and life's lessons.

---

8. Celebrity Culture & Community Support: The Kim Kardashian Podcast Appearance

• [46:30–50:54]
• Recap and reactions to Kim Kardashian discussing her relationship and lifestyle on a podcast—noting her high-glam spend, cluelessness about everyday prices, and her intense media training.
• The disparity between celebrity reality and most listeners' existence: “We can't hold ourselves to the standard of looking like them, having lives similar to them… because they're not on the same playing ground that we are.” (Morgan, 47:55)
• The co-host shifts perspective: Why do we lavish support on celebrities but not on friends’ small businesses or personal projects?
• Morgan: "Be careful how you dole out your energy… If you're consuming lots of Kim K content, know at the end of the day, she's not... She's apples and oranges for the majority.” (49:34)

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Got the little red dots, bottom left?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Oh, yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Are you blind?

[Morgan Huelsman]

I'm blind in one eye.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Since when?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Since I was born and Megan both have it. We're 2020 in one eye, in our right eye, and then our left eye didn't develop properly. And so I feel like we've talked about this at some point.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Is it all black or is it not black?

[Morgan Huelsman]

It's very fuzzy. And if I hold my hand over my good eye for long enough, I start to get just like black spots in. In the vision. Yeah, Like I could see your face, but you look blobby for sure.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I do feel like I've heard this.

[Morgan Huelsman]

We went in to get our learner's permit and we failed the eye test. And our parents were like, what?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

We're like, we've told you our whole.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Lives, we can't see out of our left eye.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

They just didn't do anything.

[Morgan Huelsman]

No, our parents, bless her heart, they.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Got a lot wrong. To the podcast, everybody. I think that's our intro. They don't need an introduction. Welcome, Morgan, to the podcast thank you for having me. Thanks for coming back. I really like this idea that we do every so often. Maybe it's once a month, maybe depending on pop culture, but we come on and we just talk about some random pop culture things. A little bit of life thrown in there because you and I always have funny stories.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah, we've lived some life, Let me tell you.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

We have.

[Morgan Huelsman]

What makes me laugh, though, is I'm not really, like, up to speed on a lot of pop culture stuff, so I feel like I'm getting educated by you in this process.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I like that, though, because then it's like you're getting educated while also just forming an opinion.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Opinion in the moment.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah. Let's go on the ball. What would you like to start with? So we've got Kristen Bell's anniversary post. We've got Keith Urban. I went to his concert, saw some things happen. We've got Kim Kardashian. She was on a podcast talking about her marriage. What do you want to dive in first?

[Morgan Huelsman]

I feel like right now the hot button topic is the Kristen Bell stuff.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Oh, my gosh, it's everywhere.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That is something I am aware of.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I have seen that one. You've seen.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

So for anybody who is like Morgan, though, and doesn't necessarily see things, mind you, I'm also not a big. I don't seek pop culture, but being on social media all the time, I see what's happening. Yes, very much so. So Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard just celebrated their 12th anniversary, and she posted on Instagram, of course, and said, Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me, I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at certain. At a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would. What are your initial thoughts on this when you've seen it?

[Morgan Huelsman]

The photo? At first I thought it was Dax holding one of their daughters, and then I realized, no, Kristen Bell is just that tiny. I actually have run into her in the wild before. Unrelated, but the post doesn't really make me laugh. But at the same time, I don't clutch my pearls. I feel like we live in a day and age where everything is taken so seriously and it's just not always that deep. That's my opinion. Also, I tried to think about this through the lens of, well, I haven't been through domestic violence, but what if she had posted something like, dax says he hopes I get cancer. I would have read that, like, oh, you're ignorant, but life will go on.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yes, and honestly, the same exact thoughts. I just. Have you seen the bean soup theory? It's my everything right now.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I have not seen the bean soup theory, but bean soup sounds awful. So let's go beans.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It was like chili. Oh, well, why don't you just say that? I mean, they are technically different, but like, basically the same. But there's an influencer who posted and was like, bean soup theory. She saw influencer post a bean soup recipe and people in the comments were like, what if I don't eat beans? What can I substitute for beans? What about me not wanting you to talk about beans? Like, it just became this whole thing. So it's the bean soup theory. Llama beans, baked beans, all the veins. But it became this theory of not everything is meant for you. And that's very much true. We very much created this environment where we believe that all social media that we see on the Internet, everything we see in TV and movies, is meant specifically for us. It is not. Since when do we like all of a sudden claim that everything that we watch, do and see is literally not only meant for us, but targeted for us? We have this kind of just distorted view of that. So that's where my positioning comes from. Also, as someone who has been in a domestic abuse relationship, I didn't really honestly bat an eye from it. Not in the sense that was. I like, okay, it's a weird thing to say, sure. But not in a sense where I was like, I'm gonna take that personally and like, that offends me. Maybe. I'm also not easily offended though, either.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That's a whole other layer of this is I do feel like we're in a day and age where people almost want to be offended. And I know that's probably going to make some people mad, but comment sections are a terrible place to be. Reddit's a terrible place to be. People are just sort of echo chambering and wanting to feel like they're throwing their two cents into the ring and people are liking their comment or commenting back. Yeah, girl, I feel the same about that Pinto being like, it's about being seen and heard. But yeah, I do feel like people need to toughen up and touch grass more often and get off their screens. We're all guilty of it.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Well, and that's what I was gonna say. Like, I completely respect the fact that social media has brought us closer together, and I respect that it's become the version of community today that we really have kind of gotten away from in person because of Everything that happened with COVID like, you can see the transition of times, and I respect that people want to feel connected. But you can also feel connected in a lot of ways without feeling threatened, without feeling triggered, without feeling like you have to take yourself outside of a situation and say, was this post meant for me? And most of the time it isn't. Like, most of the time, it just isn't. If for some reason you're allergic to beans, you're probably not going to make a bean soup. And if you've been through something, then, yeah, maybe you don't follow her because she made that joke. That's fine. You don't have to announce it. If that bothered you, that's okay. But let's move on.

[Morgan Huelsman]

We don't need a think piece on everything celebrities do. Sometimes it's just not that deep. And if you don't like it, I'm not sitting here telling you the post. Laugh at it. I didn't. I just kept scrolling and I think that's where it's at. Just keep scrolling until you find something you like. I'm also known for I block celebrities on social media. I block in the keywords, block keywords that I don't want to see. Like the baldoni Blake Lively drama I was. I cannot even get on social media and enjoy a dooms crawl anymore without seeing this. So I just block, block, block. And not because I dislike them. It's just I'm seeing too much of you.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And I didn't sign up for this, so.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah, no. And I think you should. I think, heck, if it's me you're following, you feel offended by something I did or I triggered you in some way. Please unfollow me. I don't want that for you.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Pretty offensive, Morgan.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Apparently sometimes I can be so. But I just want everybody to feel what's in the best interest of themselves. But just know that you don't have to announce or genuinely out there. Everything is just not meant for you. Like, she wrote that caption for her husband and herself alone. Was she posting it for the rest of the world? Yes, because if she didn't, then people would assume they got divorced or something happened. But that wasn't meant for everybody. It wasn't meant to be triggering. It wasn't meant to be bad. And my heart breaks for the people who feel hurt by a caption like that because it means you went through something really bad, and I can attest to that. But it just also means take a step back and find what really matters. To react to because it's probably not a caption on Instagram, if I had to guess.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You want to know something? I wondered about it, though.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

What?

[Morgan Huelsman]

We have friends that work in publicity, and I have a friend that told me recently because the summer was so boring and not a lot went on in the news, aside from like the Blake and Justin stuff. And she was like, watch. In the coming months, like, news is going to start ramping up. Like, some stories are going to be contrived. And so it dawned on me. I'm like, Kristen is promoting the second season of Nobody wants this, which I haven't started yet. But I love the first season. Like, is this a little contrived where she posted something that she knew might be? I mean, that's obviously like in the weeds of it, but that does happen.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And so I've seen crazier things have happened. I mean, Taylor Swift is a mastermind and plants Easter eggs like five years in advance.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And there was also a headline today about Kristen didn't go on her scheduled stop on the Today show. I'm like, how would we even know that? It almost feels they're pushing it more so we. We care more and we're more involved and then we go watch your new show on Netflix.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It's so true, though. But what's crazy is you don't have to convince me to watch a show that I like.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Right. It is a very good. The first season was wonderful. I'll definitely watch the second.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I did just watch it for the first time three weeks ago.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

What did you think? Honestly, it's so funny. It was so kind of everybody. When I had went through my breakup.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Last year, it literally came out at the same time.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It was very similar and I appreciated that. Everybody was like, don't watch this. And it.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That's fair.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Now at this point in my life, though, honestly, it gave me a lot of clarity. Just genuinely a lot more perspective. A lot. And I don't know how much is fiction or non fiction.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Right.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But especially about the culture. But it did give me just a different stance on the culture that I never quite understood. And I think it would have been really helpful. Something like that came out like three years prior because I would have learned a lot.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Well, for your listeners who may not know, we don't have to regurgitate the whole thing, but you did date a guy who was Jew and things didn't work out because you're not. And so a lot.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

She knew for six months. Yeah, we didn't say he was in the right. He's not in the wrong, though, either. So it all worked out.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And I think you're watching. Nobody wants this at the perfect time. You now have someone that you're really well suited with, and you can watch it and have that. Hindsight is 2020 perspective.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Very much so. I don't think I could have had that. If I watched it, like, when it came out, I think I would have been like, why am I watching this TV show?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah, it probably would have been a knife and a wound, but, yeah, no, it's. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

So I get it. But I do think, absolutely, there's PR around specific things that happened, and they do it very discreetly. They're very good at what they do.

[Morgan Huelsman]

So don't comment. Don't play into the big machine of it all. That's the moral of this story.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

That's it. But, yeah, and also, look up the bean soup theory, because I think it just gives you perspective. I posted a video, mind you. I've been posting my detox cleanse all over social media because it's been, like, my thing that I've been going through. Morgan seen it. She watched me at a wedding not eat any food. Even though it was very sad.

[Morgan Huelsman]

As I went back for seconds, I felt so awful.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But it made me feel better because, like, you guys were eating for me.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I definitely was. And they had some really good Mac and cheese. I felt so bad for you.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It was such a sad day. But it's been what my life has been for, like, the past month and a half. So I posted a video. Everything I've been doing, what my days look like. And then I got so many requests to post this adrenal elixir recipe for the drink. And some girl say, adrenal elixir three times fast, right? Adrenal elixir. And also, I don't know why it's called. That's what. It's Kara's recipe. I just. That's what it's called, and that's what I've been doing, and it's been part of my routine. So I posted the recipe as requested by so many people. And mind you, I also said, hey, this is. This is what I'm doing as part of my routine. Saw the full routine. Here's a recipe for this. I'm not saying anything beyond, here's the recipe. Some woman reaches out and was just like, I cannot believe you would promote such a gimmick. And you have such a big influence. Why would you do that? I was like, what? I Literally looked at this response like, ma', am, first of all, orange juice and salt and cream, tartar and coconut water aren't a gimmick. They're what? Cream of tartar. It sounds really gross. It's like a. It's like an electrolyte drink is really what it is.

[Chase for Business Ad Voice]

All right?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I was like, you can get all of these things from a grocery store. Like, I don't make any money from cream of tartar or coconut juice or the oranges you pick off your tree, first of all. So a gimmick. We might need to relearn that definition. And second of all, I didn't post it and said, this is a cure all for your adrenals, and you're gonna be healed after having this. I just said, this is part of what I'm doing, and it's part of my routine. And I mean, man, this woman went in the weeds with me, and I just finally. I had finally had enough. And she was like, I've proved my point, and this is enough. I just laughed emoji at it because I couldn't keep responding. But bean soup theory. Because this woman had an adrenal issue, like an actual insufficiency, and she was trying to be like, adrenal fatigue isn't real. And I was like, first of all, one thing I know about adrenal efficiency. I just spent months in and out of a hospital with my dog over there.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Crazy.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That you and your dog are going on similar journeys.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I know. It's really nice for both of us.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Not really. Did she drink this elixir, too?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

She did not, because.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Cream of tartar for Remy.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Dog grade. Okay, but does Remy have her own elixirs?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yes.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

They're just different.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Throwing at the word elixir so casually. I hear the word elixir, and I think it's like a potion that's going to make a man fall in love with me.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It is kind of a potion, you know, it's like a little magical drink. And apparently also a gimmick. So all that to say I was just like, ma', am, I don't think this video is meant for you. I'm not saying this is going to fix your adrenal insufficiency. I never said that. But please just don't follow me, because.

[Morgan Huelsman]

This is why I hardly ever post. Everybody's got an opinion.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah. And different views. Like, we have to understand. I'll wrap this in a tiny bow. That we have to understand that we all have different views and we have different ways that we see the world based on our own experiences. And just because somebody did not experience life the same way that you did does not mean what they're doing or what they're experiencing is wrong.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That'll preach.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And there's my tiny bow on our Kristen ball talk. So, yeah, in the heat of battle.

[Ed Helms]

Hey, everyone. Ed Helms here.

[Kal Penn]

And hi, I'm Kal Penn and we're the hosts of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.

[Ed Helms]

This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

You know what? I can see you as Mr. Darcy.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You got a little Colin Firth.

[Ed Helms]

Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that. But are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennet. Here, listen to Earsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Limu Emu and Doug.

[Liberty Mutual Ad Voice]

Here we have the Limu Emu in its natural habitat, helping people customize their car insurance and save hundreds with Liberty Mutual. Fascinating. It's accompanied by his natural ally, Doug.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Uh, Limu is that guy with the binoculars watching us.

[Liberty Mutual Ad Voice]

Cut the camera. They see us.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Only pay for what you [e-mail] Liberty Liberty, Liberty Savings. Very underwritten by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company affiliates. Excludes Massachusetts. Okay, what do you want to get into next?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Can we talk about Megan Maroney?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Okay. I know it's not one of the topics.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

No, it was, but it's one of.

[Morgan Huelsman]

The ones threw it into the running because I want to know what you think her next color is going to be. If you're unfamiliar, Megan Maroney picks a color that is her theme. She puts out an album and her. All of her social media is that color. All of her outfits are that color. I love it. I think she's a branding genius. She went to school for. She was going to be an Accountant. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And then that didn't work, which is very wild to me. Like, seeing her and.

[Morgan Huelsman]

No.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And having some interactions with her. I just. The accountant would never have.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I think it was a family trade. I don't know. But she decided to go the digital marketing route. And I'm like, that was so smart. When you decided you wanted to be an artist, you pivoted to a degree that could help you brand yourself as an artist. And she does that so well. I love it.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Well, I love the color eras. You know what's funny, too, is that our I Heart country festival earlier this year, I did, like, a backstage interview with her, and I was like, so, what's the next color? And I tried to get her to tell me, but she didn't.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I think I know.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Okay, give me the theory.

[Morgan Huelsman]

My guess is that it's going to be yellow.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Okay. Why yellow?

[Morgan Huelsman]

She wore to the ACM Awards this year a dress that was yellow. It was the same dress from. Or very similar to the dress from how to Lose a guy in 10 days. That Kate Hudson, she looked fantastic. But I remembered wondering then, was this a calculated choice? Is this an Easter egg you're giving us? A week or two ago here in Nashville, she did an activation at Lawland, which is a coffee shop here. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Very bougie coffee shop.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yes. And it's branded in yellow. She posted on her story all of these pieces of marketing and things she was signing that were all yellow. And so I feel that we're getting hits that it's going to be yellow. I think it's going to be a cheery record. I could be wrong.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Watch it be black. It's like fully opposite. Because when I think yellow, I think sunshine, I think bright colors, lemons, like just this very bright thing. And I wonder if she's in the phase of her life yet. I feel like that's a romantic era a little bit.

[Morgan Huelsman]

She's dating a baller, apparently.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Is she? I said I don't know anything about pop culture.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah. I've seen headlines that she's dating. I can't tell you what team he plays for, but Bosa.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Okay, so an athlete.

[Morgan Huelsman]

An athlete. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Okay, baller, okay, so then we.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Footballer, if you will.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Okay, so. So assuming that those headlines are real, then, yeah, we would be in a little bit of a lover girl era.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And yellow to me is bright. Lovey. Like, very. Just for some reason, I associate with bright.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And she's coming out of blue. Blue is more moody.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah. And what I really want her color to Be not. I have no fashionable evidence or you've done the research that you know this, but I really want her color to be purple because purple looks really good on blondes.

[Morgan Huelsman]

It does. You look great in purple.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

We need to make a clip and.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Overlay Morgan in her purple gowns. Tea. But my second guess is purple. Okay. Because she's been seen.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Do I work for Megan Maroney? She has been.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That's why I work. No, I'm just kidding.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It's a maroon.

[Morgan Huelsman]

She's been seen in a couple interviews in purple. Okay. So that's my backup option. But I feel like the hints towards yellow are outweighing purple.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

You know what's really cool for her, and I'm very excited that purple could be the backup, because I just love the color purple. Also, it's become my favorite color as an adult. Like, my favorite color as a kid was a pink, of course. And then, like, early 20s, Morgan was blue. Now, like, 30s, Morgan is purple.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You're basically Megan Maroney.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I know. It's just my favorite color, though.

[Morgan Huelsman]

My favorite color consistently through my life is green. And it's just been that it's never changed.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

You've never changed your favorite color?

[Morgan Huelsman]

No, but purple is a good choice. It does look good on your skin tone, for sure.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Why? Why am I weird? Why have I changed my favorite color?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Some people aren't loyal, and I'm just kidding.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Now I'm not loyal to colors. That is true.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I do.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I. I do get a little bored sometimes with colors, so that's fair.

[Morgan Huelsman]

But you what you like.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I just got called out for my color. What I was gonna say, though, is what's really cool for Megan is that because she chose colors, she's gonna have eras for decades because there's so many colors. Now, granted, if she's only doing, like, the Roy G. Biv, we got nine eras. That's what I was thinking.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You're gonna run out pretty quick, actually. And unless you're getting into, like, the pantones of it all.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I bet she is. And I bet they're gonna be, like, crayon colors.

[Morgan Huelsman]

We'll see. Tbd, Megan, let us know the whole thing.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

We'll stay in the country world, too, because Keith Urban, I went to his concert, which, by the way, he is one of my favorite performers concerts ever.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And he always smells good.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Truly, he always does. But he. Man, I like you would think that, like, he's been entertainer of the year a bunch of times. I don't think he has. Maybe a few times. I should Probably Google that while we're.

[Morgan Huelsman]

We interviewed him, or we. Bobby interviewed him a couple months ago for an ACM special. We did, and he did have a couple entertainer. Okay. Wins. It's been a minute, but he has one. Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

So he's won a CMA Entertainer of the Year Award in 2018 and ACM in 2019, and he's also been the Triple Crown Award for ACM. So he has had it, but I just feel like he deserves it more than he gets it, because not only is he an entertainer, knows how to work a crowd, knows how to be in it. He's a performer. Like, he can rock on a guitar, every version of a guitar that exists. And he's just, like, such a good stage presence.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yes.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

He has it all. There's no, like, mix in there. He knows what he's doing.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I went to a show of his once. It's been a while ago, but he brought out a full marching band.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah. That's what he does.

[Morgan Huelsman]

He has the production value for sure. Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And this is what happened, because he always does fan interactions. This is his thing. I've been to so many shows. I've watched him probably give away 10 guitars at this point, because he gives one away at every show.

[Morgan Huelsman]

An electric.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I don't think it's electric. It's a kid.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Still pretty.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

He signs it and he gives it to a fan.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That's nice.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And he. So he always has big fan interactions. This is very much his thing. And so he walks up to this fan who's holding a sign. It says, help me tell my family I'm pregnant. And, okay. He literally responds like, I'm just a guitar player. Like, what do you want me to do? And then the girl's like, oh, please. And he's, okay, what's your name? And she's kind of, like, avoiding him, and he's like, what is your name? And she's like, you're not gonna like it. And he goes. And he kind of looks at her funny, and then she says, nicole.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Oh.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And he just collapses on the stage just like, are you kidding me? In the 20, 000 people in this room, this is the one that I listen to.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Your name.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And of course, that video has gone viral. It's in the news, and. But honestly, he handled it like such a champ. He just fell back on stage like, okay. Like, what just happened? And then he got back up, and he was like, okay, Nicole, tell me what we're doing here. And he just got back to business then. Poor guy. It doesn't get better for the fan engagement. So he brings up this couple who had a sign that said, we got engaged at your residency but we don't have a picture with you. So he sees him, pulls him up on stage to get a picture and he's like creating small talk and ask the guy, what do you do for work? He goes, I'm an air traffic controller. And you just hear the whole arena just get quiet. There was some booing, there's some like, oh gosh, what's going to happen? And Keith just goes, what is happening with this show right now? Could not fathom was the reaction to.

[Morgan Huelsman]

The air traffic controller thing because of the government shutdown?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I think it was both because like obviously there's been a lot of talk about air traffic controlling because of all the incidences at airports and stuff that's been happening.

[Morgan Huelsman]

True.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

People are like, should we fly? Because we don't know what's happening. And then of course the government shutdown happened along like just recently. That's fresh of mind, I think was all of it just everything with airplanes right now. So then too, for the final part of the evening, he's been going viral on social media before he performs. I think it's you'll think of me. I'm assuming so, because this is the one he addressed. But he just looked at the crowd and he was like, stop reading into ship and performing the song my entire career.

[Morgan Huelsman]

That's the thing is there is clearly footage of him doing performances the same way, but because of the headline and the clickbait value of things, people take things and run for sure.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Absolutely. And I think that was his final way of just this was his last night on tour. He was just like, guys, please leave me alone. And mind you, this man put on a three hour show while he's going through a very public situation. That can't be fun. And he entertained still to the best of what I've seen him on multiple occasions. I was just really impressed with how it was handled and how he just managed everything really well. He didn't have anybody helping him. There was nobody like no PR nobody like stopping anything from happening and he just handled it all.

[Morgan Huelsman]

He's always so polite anytime we do anything with him. Obviously I've not spent any one on one time with Keith, but I feel like he's very laid back and would be a good hang. So all the hate right now, again, it just kind of goes back to things we've already talked about. But if you're someone who lives life on A stage, and you're a public figure, People tend to think that they are. Have the privilege to know more details about your life than they really ought to know. And it just. Everybody wants to figure something out, get to the bottom of something. And sometimes marriages just don't work out. They have. Not to give my two cents, but they have teenage daughters. How many marriages do you know that fell apart when the kids were almost out of the house? That is a tale as old as time. So, anyway, yes, I wish them both the best, but I know I've always been kind, and I can't say a bad thing about him.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I don't think I've ever had a bad interaction with either of them. Not. I don't think. I know. I haven't. And so I was more curious just to see. I mean, like, I've gone through crappy things. I could not imagine being on a stage every night performing. I'm sure that's a therapy for him of sorts, but I was just super impressed with how it all. Like, he just handled everything. Like it was just rolling off the back of him. And I was like. By the third time, I was like. I thought, okay, maybe, like, you're gonna be like, okay, guys, I gotta go.

[Morgan Huelsman]

But I gotta pack it up, guys.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

So it was in.

[Morgan Huelsman]

He's lived a lot. Alive too. I'm sure these things roll off his back.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

You would think so at this point too, but, yeah. Country music, man. We just got a lot going on over here. Okay. Moving into I don't know these two super well. You want to talk about pop culture? I don't really pay attention to, like, YouTubers. I wish I did because I feel like there's so much content and space over there, but. So YouTubers Dan Howe and Phil Lester apparently have been, like, doing YouTube stuff together since 2009.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Oh, wow. Since we were in high school.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah, since I was in high school. I think I was an eighth grader, maybe a freshman somewhere in that area. But they're in a relationship, and they have been for 16 years and just now told everybody.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Wow. Their relationship is old enough to drive, literally.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But also, I'm so impressed. If good things are happening to me in my relationship, I'm in right now. I get really excited. I want to tell everybody about it. I want to. Let's talk about everything. I could not imagine holding in this really beautiful part of my life for 16 years.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Well, you're the kind of person that is more open with that sort of.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Stuff, and this is why I wanted your Perspective.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And I am the opposite. I'm not. I don't. I like to keep things. I'll talk about things to an extent. But I. Back when I worked on the morning show, for example, and they wanted to bring up my dating life, I hated that I never really wanted to talk about anyone I was dating because again, it's like the Keith and Nicole of it all. Once people know, they feel like they can weigh in and offer. And I just didn't really like that also, I don't know. It's just to each their own. I love seeing your content with your boyfriend on Instagram, but me, myself, I would probably just keep it more low key. And that's just different personalities with them. You say Dan and Phil, so I'm assuming it's two guys. I mean, maybe that played a part of how they would be accepted. That's obviously something that we don't have to navigate as heterosexual women. And so there's Grace there as well. Maybe that was something that they were feel fearful to share. Maybe I don't know anything about them. So I hate to just make assumptions, but maybe they. Someone wasn't so public about being out. And so I know that it makes me think of. Is her name Becca Tilly? Does that name ring?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah, I know who that is. From Bachelor.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Bachelor Nation. She was on several shows. She went on the Bachelor and she is dating or maybe even engaged. I don't want to make this up to Haley Kyoko.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah, let me see if they are engaged.

[Morgan Huelsman]

They apparently dated for years privately before being public because Becca was not open that part of her life. And I think to each their own. I love a private relationship for me personally, but not everyone's built that way.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

See, and I love that like I'm. The reason I bring it up is because I'm so impressed that people like, I can keep secrets. If somebody tells me something, it's to the vest. It's not leaving my chest. You're good. But like my own life and something's happening to me. I'm like a little. It's like vibrating inside of me. And you gotta get it out so I can chill out. And so it's. I'm impressed that you. There's people out there that can do this. You being one of them. I love that I. There's parts of me that wish I.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Could be and have a husband and kids y' all just don't know about.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Could you imagine you're like, here they are.

[Morgan Huelsman]

But yeah, Becca Tilly came to mind for sure.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But also, by the way, they are engaged.

[Morgan Huelsman]

They are. Another couple that came to mind that we know is Carla Marie and Anthony. They were a radio. They hosted a radio show together and worked together. And so it sounds like these youtubers may have had some crossover and vlog together.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Huelsman]

So I think when there's that work element of it, maybe you do keep it private to see if it's going to work out. I mean, 16 years feels like a long time.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

The fourth year, I'd be like, okay, I think we're locked in.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And shout out to Carla Marie and Anthony because they're getting married.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I know they're 30 days away from getting married.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I think crazy.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Last I saw. So it's so awesome to me because in a world of people like me who loves to share everything, I think it's cool that there's this balance of people who don't want to. I think we need both. Yeah, that's what it's about.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I think you guys will know who my boyfriend is when he's my husband.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Honestly, what's really funny about that is before Brayden, I thought that was gonna be me, too. I didn't think I'd ever post somebody until I was engaged.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Really? Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And then I just. It was like this genuinely felt. I'm not kidding, like something was vibrating. I mean, I needed to get out.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Have you ever gotten a hey, girl message when you've posted a guy before?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Oh, multiple times. It's almost. Let me make sure. Let me make sure before there is a ring on my finger. No, that's not why. But yes, in two out of the four serious relationships in my twenties, yes, I did.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Wow. It's a bad feeling.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Oh, it's never good. It's never good. But the worst part is some people will still write messages like that to me now, but then they'll say, I need Rex or I need. Like that. I'm like, why do you have to start with those two words? Hey, girl, just say hi or just say anything else? Honestly.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah. Triggering that.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Why it's worrisome for you at all.

[Morgan Huelsman]

No. I was already a pretty private person. Yeah. I did post. Post one ex that I dated for a while. Like, we had been in a relationship for a while before I made any post about him. And then I did get a message, and that definitely sparked some conversations that led to some realizations.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But it can be a great test.

[Morgan Huelsman]

It can be a test for sure.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I've had all kinds. I made this post just right before we were recording this. Basically but it was like I had. I had such an issue with photos in my previous relationships, like taking photos together, taking photos of me taking photos of them. Social media in general put it all into the. To the scope. It was such a hot topic. Like, it was such a difficult thing. I had one who never wanted me to post by myself. I always had to be taking pictures with him and posting him, because if I was posting of myself, then I was looking for other guys or something to that effect. I had another guy who never wanted to post me on social media, but always wanted me to post him, and also at the same time, hated taking pictures of me. You would have thought that I was stabbing him with a knife every time I asked.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And then I had another one who were super private, and he didn't like that, which is completely respectable. But it was such an interesting thing for me to now be in this relationship and him to be like, why aren't you asking me? I'll take whatever photos you want. You can post me however you want. He started posting me, like, a month into us dating. Like, all this just, like, safety net of things that I had so many triggers for. And it was wild to me that I never put two and two together. That. That was so hard for me until now.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Well, you found someone that is in your rhythm, likes the things you like. He likes social media, too, it appears.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And he likes taking photos and videos. Like, he loves taking photos.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I mean, the photos y' all took at that. That mountain weekend.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I literally thought that was going to be an engagement.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I do not think you're alone enough. I think there was a lot of that. I was like, whoa. I even messaged you. I was like, what are these cameras?

[Morgan Huelsman]

I need to get them. Yep.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Which is what we're shooting on right now. Yeah, they. I don't know. He just love. He was the one who was like, bring the tripod and do it. I literally. This is what's funny behind that. He was like, we should bring the tripod or whatever, because I didn't know where we were going for that trip. And I just stopped in my tracks. I was like a tripod. Are you proposing? I literally asked him that.

[Morgan Huelsman]

He's.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I mean, no. You would probably have some inkling. He's like, no, but you can. I haven't talked to your dad, and that's a conversation for in person. And I was like, okay, are we getting there? I mean, life is moving quickly. You already thought they were engaged. You thought the proposal was already supposed to happen.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I Know.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But you know, it just.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Just. It made me wonder.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I was like, I really like you and I really like this. But I don't think I'm quite there yet. Like, I need just a few more months to realize. Aged in that this is happening.

[Morgan Huelsman]

So we'll report back soon at some point.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah. But it was funny because I had that same. He's like, no, it's just. I think you'll really. You'll want it. And he was right. And it ended up. There were such cute pictures.

[Morgan Huelsman]

They were so good.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah. So all that to say.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I had no idea that things could be triggering.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You'll cherish those forever.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

What else? I was. I had a thought and then it lost. Because you thought I was engaged and I didn't know if I needed.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I really, really did. When you texted me and I was walking in target of oh, and guess what? Or it was something that made me think, oh, and then I saw the little text bubble and I'm like, what? Get it out. And. But then I was like, she was engaged. I feel like she would be texting the group chat that was all going through my mind waiting for you to respond.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

That's hilarious that you just had this whole thing happen and then I just text you something completely irrelevant. Totally irrelevant. And you were like, I definitely.

[Morgan Huelsman]

What dish are you bringing to the get together?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And I was like, I don't know, Morgan.

[Morgan Huelsman]

We'll see.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

To which she never responded, by the way, because she was so enthralled with the fact that I did.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I was at the Magnolia island target when you were texting me, so I was looking at the Christmas stuff and the ADHD probably got the better of me once I realized you weren't engaged.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I love you. Yeah, it's all right. I do know you love me. And I love you too.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I feel it's coming.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Oh, well.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Tbd.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I'm just very, very happy.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You can tell. You can tell. And I've been around him a few times. He seems great.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I have nothing else to add.

[Morgan Huelsman]

[Ed Helms]

Hey, everyone. Ed Helms here.

[Kal Penn]

And hi, I'm Kal Penn, and we're the host of Irsay The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.

[Ed Helms]

This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?

[Morgan Huelsman]

You know what?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I can see you as Mr. Darcy.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You got a little call in firth.

[Ed Helms]

Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that, but are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennett.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Here.

[Ed Helms]

Listen to Earsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Limu Emu and Doug.

[Liberty Mutual Ad Voice]

Here we have the Limu emu in its natural habitat. Help people customize their car insurance and save hundreds with Liberty Mutual. Fascinating. It's accompanied by his natural ally, Doug.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Limu is that guy with the binoculars watching us.

[Liberty Mutual Ad Voice]

Cut the camera. They see us.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Only pay for what you need@liberty mutual.com. liberty, liberty, liberty. Liberty Savings. Very underwritten by Liberty Mutual insurance company and affiliates. Excludes Massachusetts. I mean, Morgan, I did just drop the bomb on the show that we've been living together. You did? Yeah, it happened. Well, I actually.

[Morgan Huelsman]

How was that received?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

First of all, I slipped up on accident on best fits because I was talking about a story and I said, our yard, and a listener called in and was like, what was that? And I totally could have just been like, Remy Hazel. I. I could have, but I was just at the point where I was like, I honestly, I'm not a very good liar to begin with, so the fact that I've kept it a secret as long as I have is shocking. But, yeah, they. Oh, for sure. I got totally made fun of. But it's fine. How old are you? I'm 32.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It was so funny. Somebody commented on the live stream and goes, guys, let's not forget Morgan is a fully grown woman with a fully frontal front lobe.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Your frontal lobe is completely developed. We think based on that last sentence.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

She tried to say unclear might be. But then I was like, you know what I am. So, yeah, give me a break.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I feel like you're. You just love very hard and you have been hurt and you've gone through things, but you bounce back and you've had this good thing fall into your lap, and I. I'm so guarded. So to See, you who you have been through hard things, but you don't really let it stick to you. You just bounce back. Well, and I'm hoping that this man, you're saying that it all works out. Y' all get married and you live happily ever after. But irregard, like, you're a grown woman, and if y' all want to live together, I mean, I know in some dating relationships I've had, you're basically staying over and may as well you have this. Yeah, now that I'm living on my own. You've lived on your own for a while. I've lived on my own for the last year. It can be lonely having a big apartment with extra bedrooms and no one there. And so I think it's a beautiful thing that you're in this season where you're getting to share your life with someone you care a lot about and your space and your time. Quality time is probably one of your top love languages. And now you get to have a cute boy around all the time. Who does he help you mow? Does he do the dishes?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Like, yes.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Does he have his beard clippings everywhere?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Tell us all about it. No. And yes, quality of quality time is one, but acts of service is actually my number one. I love when and because to your point, I was very fiercely independent, I very much could take care of myself. And he's very much come in, and it's so funny. He'll put things on higher shelves, and I have to be like, hero time. And he has to come and get it. He's like, this is my job security. I say every time I literally, if I just say hero time, he comes running. Oh, that's precious.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Is he killing the spiders?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yes. He helps me trap and release a lot of bugs. I try not to kill them. Spiders.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Sometimes you're a special person, for sure.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Sometimes it happens. Sometimes I'm afraid of them, and it's like an instinct. But other times, I make him trap and release. There was a really big one that we trap and released, but yes. Yeah, he is. And we have very similar cleaning habits. Like, I. I am a big believer, and it's totally up to everybody's values and beliefs, but I've talked to enough amazing older women who. I do have two more episodes coming with residents from Abe's garden. It was such a good day. I know.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And I didn't go back without me, did you?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I didn't want to make you have to go through that all again because it was a long day.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Offended.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Personally offended. But I've talked to enough older women who are just like, please just live with somebody before you marry them. You just learn so much about a person, and it's things that so many of them wish they did, and I fully believe in that. I think you learn so much about a human in that space. It's not for everybody. Everybody gets to have their own decisions and what that looks like, but it is for me.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Me.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And I want to know what I'm getting. I'm not a very good. I barely handled the birthday surprise he gave to me. I was like, every 30 minutes on the drive, I'm like, we going there? Is this where we're going?

[Chase for Business Ad Voice]

What are we doing?

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

He's like, morgan, let loose.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Let it breathe. See, I am kind of the opposite side of the coin. I've never actually lived with a boyfriend before, and I like the idea of not living with someone until I'm married. I mean, I am a Christian. Like, I have. Have feelings about it for myself that I don't necessarily hold others to that same standard. But I think that's the thing, is let people live. And if it's a mistake, you'll know in due time and you'll deal with that. But hopefully it's not. I don't even. The word mistake isn't the right word a lesson. I feel like life doles us out a ton of lessons, does it not? I'm all done. Lessons, please. But, yeah, I feel like just live your life and you'll learn what works for you and doesn't. As you go. None of us have it figured out. For all the people trying to tell you how to live, they don't have it figured out either. No. It's our first rodeo. All of us.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yes. That is my favorite thing to say. It is every single one of our first time living. First time at this age, first time at. You could be 65 and it's your first time being 65. Like, it's your first time figuring it out. So run with it. But, yes, for me, very much a big component because I'm also very particular. So Morgan knows this. I'm very clean. Everything has a place. So I did. I needed to make sure that whoever I did it not just for my sake, but for their sake also could put up with my craziness.

[Morgan Huelsman]

You're not crazy. You're so easy to be around, Morgan.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Personality wise.

[Chase for Business Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But also, I mean, I do my cleanliness, my organization. You know how it is neat in here, y'.

[Morgan Huelsman]

All. You can't see the Whole room, but it's spic and span.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Anyways. But yeah, that's the latest on all of that. We will wrap on. Kim K. How's that sound?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Sounds perfect. Okay.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

So Kim K. She talked about her relationship to Kanye west on podcast. Like props to her for talking about all this. Honestly, you see her in a TV show which is. You're not sure what you're getting on those. Those are reality tv. Hard to tell.

[Morgan Huelsman]

And very produced. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And she has her social media and stuff, but it was cool. I thought in general it was cool to see her on a podcast. Podcast. Just openly talking. With that being said. Yeah, with that being said, there's a lot.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Go for it. Her not knowing the price that she spent the last year on glam was funny to me, but it just goes to show. And she didn't know the price of a milk carton at the grocery store. And you could tell as her wheels were turning and she was talking through it, she was realizing she's very PR trained. Yeah. She knows how to handle herself in interviews. But you could tell as she was talking, she wanted to stop talk. I didn't watch the whole thing. I saw this clip because it went pretty viral that she realized how it was coming out was not going to be probably received super well. And again, I think this is a good reminder to all of us that these. In these mega celebrities that are super rich, we can't hold ourselves to the standard of looking like them, having lives similar to them in any regard because they're not on the same playing ground that we are. You know what I mean? But I don't necessarily hold that against her.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I know, and I didn't either. And I cannot imagine what it's like to have that wealth. I mean, I'm every week checking my little. I still balance my checkbook of like making sure I physical checkbook.

[Morgan Huelsman]

My dad would love you. He sat me and my sister down when we were 15. We're like, here's a checkbook and how you balance it. And he is very upset with me when I make a purchase and don't immediately pull. I don't even have a checkbook anymore.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

But seriously, seriously, my dad would love you. I think that's more common. But I'm very attuned with where my money's going and what's happening. But even still, I cannot imagine that. But on even just a further scale of that, if anything, that it does. It's just like we're so blindly supportive of so many people that we don't know, and we're so attuned with what's going on in their lives and what they're doing. Why don't we do that with more people in our lives who are physically with us all the time and supporting them? Like how many people are supporting Kim K and all of her businesses? How many people are supporting their close friend who started a business? Probably not the same amount who you're posting and commenting and liking and sharing on Kim K stuff, but not your friend who's like a micro influencer trying to figure her life out. Yeah, it more than anything, it just goes to show me that we just have to take a better look at what we're consuming and what, what really matters to us. And if that really matters to you, then heck yeah, I don't have a problem with Kim K. I think she's great. I don't. I really don't. There's not like a part of me that's like, oh my gosh, Kim K. But more so just that I wish we, we had the same kind of support for our friends. I say we meaning majority of people, the same kind of support for our friends, our small businesses, our small communities that we do for celebrities.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I feel like it's very easy to get engrossed in pop culture and the goings on and whatever. And I think moments like this are real reminders that they are quite out of touch. And yeah, I just, I agree with the premise of what you're saying of be careful how you dole out your energy. That seems to be what you're trying to get at is if you're consuming lots of Kim K content, know at the end of the day that she's not. She puts her pants on the same way as you do most of the time, probably unless she has a stylist helping her get into her outfits. But yeah, it's just, it's apples and oranges for the majority. Do you own any skims? You were talking about supporting businesses.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yeah, I have. I have one bra of that I tried.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Any good 50 50.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Some days I like it, some days I don't. I also just haven't.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Sorry. Men who are listening. I just haven't find a bra brand that I really particularly love.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I really like Aerie bras. Okay. They have a. This is an ad for Aerie.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It's not. These are no ads. I'm like touching my boob as a.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I love my A bra, but it's got no underwire. And I'm all about the no underwire life.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I need to go check out Arie.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Then I'll send you a link.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Okay. Well, beyond Kim K. And we talked a little bit about my life. Is there anything exciting news updates in yours years?

[Morgan Huelsman]

Not really. I've honestly come out of a very. We've talked about this and we don't need to go into all of it today but I've. I'm coming out of a very difficult season and I've been a little bit like struck by it all and it's almost like the shock and the aftermath. I'm trying to get back to integrating into more normal life but I'd be lying if I said I was there. Like I'm spending a lot of time with family and I've. I still haven't gotten back fully into being as social as I was before. So I'm not like dating anyone or I'm really just spending a lot of time with my people. It's been a crazy year. And that being said, like I will be at your function in a few weeks with my pumpkin.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

You function. I love these. They function like it's like this all out gala or something.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Our friends giving.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

What is it exactly we're doing? Yeah, I don't know. Friends giving. Now that she paid attention to my text messages, once I realized it was an engagement announcement, I was like, oh, oh, I'll figure out what that is. I don't care about that. That tells you. Not invested in the social side. Just making sure I know what's happening in your life.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Well, I'm very much looking forward to it.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

It'll be fun. It'll be good for you. A fun comeback. Cuz food included. Everybody wants to be gathered around food.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I'm in when there's a carb involved anytime.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

There will be lots of carbs. I'll finally be able to finally eat some. So I'll be enjoying them with you. But I'm glad that you're season, the hard season that you were in is at least, at the very least closing a few doors.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I hope so.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And you're entering into some hopefully new doors as that happens. And that's. We're just gonna leave that right there where it is right there.

[Morgan Huelsman]

This has been so fun.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I know. Thanks for coming on.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I love the Morgan and Morgan show.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Me too. I like doing this. And if you guys want us to talk about particular topics, if you hope we do some version. Maybe you don't want pop culture. Maybe you want, I don't know, random topics.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Hunting.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

I haven't done that in a while.

[Morgan Huelsman]

I'm out of touch. Yeah, I would love to be back. We gotta get Megan on. She's actually gonna be in town next weekend with the boys for.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Oh, yes, we need to do that episode. So we'll talk about scheduling off camera.

[Morgan Huelsman]

They don't need to hear.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

You guys don't need to know about it. This is also what's so funny about Morgan and I's relationship is not only is it a friendship and a long one, but it's also a working relationship. So you just intermixed into our friendship.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Right. I gotta give you some other updates after this anyway.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

Yes. Okay. Well, thank you again for coming on.

[Morgan Huelsman]

Of course. Anytime.

[Podcast Co-host (possibly Morgan's friend)]

And thanks to everyone for listening to us jabbering. And if we made you mad, pissed you off, made you happy, sad or cry, then I'm happy you felt some emotion. But also, please don't troll us for no reason.
