We'Ve all experienced being put on hold. The annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection. Waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists, as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger in isolation. Answer the call and help end the wait by donating@mealsonwheelsamerica.org donate.

I know a lot of cops. They get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. This is Absolute Season one Taser Incorporated.
Bobby Bones
I get right back there and it's bad.

Why is a soap opera western like Yellowstone so wildly successful? The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

No one could ignore me, carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling.

Amy
With Morgan Part two She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby Bones show this week.
Bobby Bones
What's up, everybody? Welcome to the best bits. I hope you are enjoying your weekend already this weekend on part one and part three. Amy joins me. So go check that out. It's kind of chaotic. We're on zoom because a lot is happening in life right now, and that's okay. But we still made best bits happen. So the reason you are here on part two is to catch up on the show. And there were some good, very funny moments this week. So let's get into it.
Amy
Woohoo.
Bobby Bones
Elizabeth Nichols stopped by the show. She has a new song out called I got a new one. It's been going viral. Kelly Clarkson covered it and we talked to her all about what's been happening in her life for the past six or so months.
Amy
Number seven, here we go on the Bobby Bones show now, Elizabeth Nichols. Elizabeth, good to meet you finally.
Elizabeth Nichols
How you doing?
Amy
Good. I was watching your TikToks and I think I wrote a message. I was like, hey, you should come do the show. Right?
Elizabeth Nichols
That's what happened.
Amy
That's literally what it is. I haven't done that in forever. But one, I think your song is so catchy and so fun. And then two, after that, I saw Kelly Clarkson sing it, and when she was singing, I was like, I know that song. And it turns out it was the song that I'd seen you perform on TikTok. How did that happen? Did they tell you Kelly Clarkson was gonna sing that on her show?
Elizabeth Nichols
Yeah. So I got a DM on Instagram, like in January, and someone was like, hey, I work for the Kelly Clarkson show. We want to use the song for the show. We're gonna send some releases. So, you know, signed the papers and, you know, didn't think about it for six months.
Amy
And it was six months pre.
Elizabeth Nichols
It was six months pre.
Morgan
Wow.
Elizabeth Nichols
Yeah. And I thought like, you know, it was like, they're gonna play it during the credits or something. And I had no clue till my grandma texted me and was like, I'm watching the Kelly Clarkson show and she's singing your song.
Amy
Yeah, she was doing her in Kellyoke, like, singing. It was so cool.
Elizabeth Nichols
It was so cool.
Amy
Wow. So how did she find it?
Elizabeth Nichols
She watches the Kelly Clarkson show.
Amy
No, not your grandma Clarkson. Like, did somebody like, obviously she did Kelly Clarkson See it in her for you page?
Elizabeth Nichols
Like, listen, you'll have to ask Kelly. I got no clue. I hope that's cool.
Amy
That's really cool.
Elizabeth Nichols
I know. It's Crazy.
Amy
I would have thought I was being scammed.
Elizabeth Nichols
I mean, yeah, it was like a fever dream.
Amy
Yeah, that's super cool. And then I would have thought it never was going to happen. Once six months goes by, even three months goes by and it doesn't happen. And so what is it like for a song to go viral? Meaning you live it, so you're probably seeing it build over time. Did you put it out and it gets little traction, you do it again. Like, what was the process before the song started to really even see some traction on just TikTok?
Elizabeth Nichols
Right. Initially, the song had some TikTok traction, which was crazy.
Amy
Like, the first time you put it.
Elizabeth Nichols
Up first, it was my first song I ever put out.
Amy
No way.
Elizabeth Nichols
That was our song. It was crazy. I moved here to Nashville in August, put the song out in December, and.
Amy
You know that never happens, right?
Morgan
Like that.
Elizabeth Nichols
I know.
Scuba Steve
So December, you put it out, and then Kelly Clarkson's people are reaching out to you in January.
Elizabeth Nichols
Yes.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Elizabeth Nichols
Yes.
Amy
That's crazy.
Elizabeth Nichols
I know. It was crazy. It was a whirlwind. So I moved here for law school. For school and put out the song. Dropped out in January. It's like, you know, Kelly DMs you. I'm like, I'm dropping out.
Amy
So the song became successful and that inspired you to chase music and stop, at least for now.
Elizabeth Nichols
Yeah, for now. I'm having fun.
Amy
Wow, that's so cool. I have a hundred more questions, but would you mind playing the song for us?
Elizabeth Nichols
I can do that.
Amy
Okay. So this song's great. I sing it all the time. I mess it up. My wife knows all the lyrics. I mess it up a little bit. So this is Elizabeth Nichols, and this is called I Got a New One. And Elizabeth, take it away.
Morgan
Oh, I'm sorry. We can't post the live performance on.
Amy
The podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page, you can watch it there or maybe listen live.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
All right, now back to the podcast. So Jackson is the third dude, but Jackson's also the guy you wrote the song with.
Elizabeth Nichols
That is true.
Amy
So was he like, you gotta put my name in there?
Elizabeth Nichols
No, we, like, wrote the first chorus for Charlie, and I was like, well, I want the second one to be a different name. We were like, thinking. I'm like, well, your name's Jackson. Jackson, Charlie.
Amy
Yeah.
Elizabeth Nichols
So, you know, it was like a little nod to who. Who I got to write it with. It was my first ever co write.
Amy
So have you been writing music, though? You came for law school like you said, but have been writing music. Are you from Kentucky?
Elizabeth Nichols
I'm from Kentucky, yeah.
Amy
So were you writing music at home?
Elizabeth Nichols
I was in college in Oklahoma before I moved here, and I started writing music about a year before I moved here, so I was posting it on TikTok.
Amy
And did you grow up around music?
Elizabeth Nichols
I grew up in church. I sang at church since I was born and I was a writing major in undergrad in college. So, like short stories, English.
Amy
Pastor's kid? Yeah.
Elizabeth Nichols
Grandkid and kid. Oh, yeah, Third generation.
Amy
Do you have any brothers?
Elizabeth Nichols
Yeah, I have a little brother.
Amy
Does he feel the pressure to be a pastor?
Elizabeth Nichols
Not at all.
Amy
Okay.
Morgan
He's.
Elizabeth Nichols
He's in a frat at uk, so he's having fun.
Amy
What's your life like right now? Because again, it's. You're starting to happen. And that's. That's a kind of a weird process because it might feel like to the outside person that, man, she's everywhere. But you're like, man, I'm just trying to. And people are just starting to pay attention. I don't know what's life like every day?
Elizabeth Nichols
You know, we're just doing it. I write songs every day and I'm having fun. It's. My life's completely changed over the past year, and it's such a blessing I could have never imagined.
Amy
Are you getting cooler co writes now that your song's popping off, like more people are wanting to write with you?
Elizabeth Nichols
I think that's kind of. I love who I write with and I love who I've been writing with. So it's. It's all cool.
Amy
I think you got to open for A Little Big Town.
Elizabeth Nichols
I did. That was really cool.
Amy
So somebody just calls and says they'd love for you to come out and do a show or what.
Elizabeth Nichols
My agent, you know, called me, said, do you want to open for Little Big Town? I said, yeah, book my ticket.
Amy
Like, what do your parents say when you say, I think I'm going to not do law school.
Elizabeth Nichols
That was a big one.
Amy
And I'm going to do this absolutely unstable thing called music.
Elizabeth Nichols
Right. My dad is the most supportive in the world. He was really excited for me for me to be a lawyer, because he wanted a free lawyer, and so he was really excited. But now he gets free concerts and he has a. He has a printed off calendar in his room, and he has every show that I'm playing for the next year written down and he's already bought his tickets for every single one. So, yeah, they're very supportive. They're Very excited. They're more excited than I am.
Amy
How were they when you said, I think I'm gonna quit school?
Elizabeth Nichols
It was a conversation, but it was. It was a positive one. It was like, whatever I want to do. Because I. I did my undergrad and I got my master's. I've done a lot of school.
Amy
Dang. Yeah.
Elizabeth Nichols
I like school a lot.
Amy
And you got your master's in what?
Elizabeth Nichols
Business administration.
Amy
With the idea that you would use corporate law.
Elizabeth Nichols
That was the plan.
Amy
Did you watch Karen Retrial?
Elizabeth Nichols
No. Maybe I will.
Amy
No, it's over. It's over.
Scuba Steve
What was drawing you to corporate law? Oh, did you watch Suits?
Amy
I like Suits.
Scuba Steve
Me too. Yeah, I was watching it last night. It's a good show.
Amy
Who have you met? That's been pretty cool.
Elizabeth Nichols
Oh, so many people. Little Big Tom was really cool for me.
Amy
They're really nice, too.
Elizabeth Nichols
Oh, they're so sweet. They're so sweet. There's so many people, even like my peers in country music. It's been so cool to kind of meet other people who are doing the thing and writing and so amazing. And it's just been a blessing. It's been a blessing.
Amy
This song. Is this, like, the song that you guys are going out with? Whatever that means. I mean, is this like the single?
Elizabeth Nichols
This is on the ep. There's a few new ones, a few that are out, but this is definitely the emphasis right now with a few other focus tracks.
Amy
So you're just gonna see how they all stream.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Amy
And then possibly pick that's. It's super cool. It's super cool that you pivoted because either you have to commit early or pivot hard. Those are your two options because you weren't going to be able to go to law school and then kind of do this.
Elizabeth Nichols
It was hard. I did one semester of, like, writing and doing school, and, you know, I wanted to do both really bad because I loved law school. All my best friends are like five mean, tough lawyers. And it's like, if that's all I got out of law school, I have a great. It was worth it. Well worth it.
Amy
You can always go back to law school.
Elizabeth Nichols
Yeah.
Amy
You may not always get this heat that you're getting right now. Congratulations. The song is super catchy and so fun and. Yeah, I hope the best for you.
Elizabeth Nichols
Thank you.
Amy
And thanks for coming in. I literally just watched a video and wrote on. Wrote on our comment. Hey, you should come do the show. And then I know somebody that is part of her. I didn't realize that part of her operation. They were like, hey, did you say she? I said, yeah, she come up. And so we got her up. And so what's. What's next? Like, what, you gonna go do some more shows? Like, are you touring by yourself?
Elizabeth Nichols
I'm playing a few festivals this year. I'm excited to get new songs out and people to hear more. I'm going to put out a lot of music this year.
Amy
And are you going to be resentful of. I got a new one in, like, three months when all people want to hear.
Elizabeth Nichols
Oh, listen.
Amy
Okay.
Elizabeth Nichols
I love it. I give the people what they want.
Amy
Good. Yes, exactly.
Elizabeth Nichols
What you want to hear me sing it? I'll sing it all they want.
Scuba Steve
Your whistles are pretty perfect.
Elizabeth Nichols
Thank you.
Scuba Steve
Not everybody can whistle like that. And you still look so pretty and cute whistling. I feel like I try to whistle and it gets awkward real quick.
Amy
That's a good point, because she does whistle well. But I also felt like I shouldn't watch her whistle for some reason, so I just lowered my head and didn't watch her whistle.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, well, she's. Yeah.
Amy
Have you always been a good whistler?
Scuba Steve
It's a vibe. Yeah.
Elizabeth Nichols
I was like, well, it's just because, you know, the choruses are different. And so I was like, well, I don't want to have a fourth man. I'm like, maybe I'll just whistle.
Scuba Steve
Oh. I was waiting for him, though. Like, I feel like maybe I'm okay.
Elizabeth Nichols
With a part 2 alt version.
Scuba Steve
We'll add some more off the record.
Amy
And it's Elizabeth. Your last name's Nichols. It's not like one Elizabeth Nichols. Like, it's first name because you're from the South. I'm from Arkansas, so, you know, two name, first names. It's Elizabeth Nichols.
Elizabeth Nichols
That's me.
Amy
Got it. Elizabeth, thank you for coming in. The song's awesome. I love it, and I wish you the best and can't wait to see how this EP does, and hopefully we'll get you in again sometime soon. All right.
Elizabeth Nichols
Thanks so much.
Amy
All right. Her guitar's awesome, too.
Morgan
It's red. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Very cute.
Amy
We're all compliments here today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There she is. Elizabeth Nichols, everybody. Nice job.
Elizabeth Nichols
Thank y' all.
Amy
Let's go. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Number two Lunchbox got in trouble for eating some food. Yep.
Amy
Mm.
Bobby Bones
It's the norm around here. He got in a little bit of trouble for eating food that was not his. And some other things happened. Well, what's new this happens about every couple months.
Amy
Number six, there's a company that has, like, rented out part of our building, our office space. Oh, gosh. Have you seen them? It's not us, but they've rented out part of the office space. Cause they're in town.
Morgan
They're right here, right down the hall.
Lunchbox
You can't miss them.
Scuba Steve
A red rope.
Morgan
So, yes, there's a reason why that red rope is in.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we've been. We've been stanchioned off or something. I don't know what's going on.
Amy
No, it's not us. Somebody rented off the space. And what I heard was for their people, they had put out this big plate of food so they can get through the day, have something to eat. Lunchbox goes in barges just eating their food.
Scuba Steve
Is that why the red rope was put up?
Lunchbox
I might have gotten.
Amy
No, no. Might.
Lunchbox
No, no. Okay. I might have gone over there, and there were some chicken sandwiches. And they had been sitting there for a while, and I was like, okay, they're obviously not going to eat them.
Amy
So.
Lunchbox
So I opened the box, got a chicken sandwich, and then I got. They had a fruit bowl. It was like strawberries, blueberries, pineapples all cut up in a bowl. So I was putting them on the plate, and that's when I got the tap on the shoulder. Excuse me. That's not for you. That's for the people in the conference room.
Amy
Yeah, they don't even work here. They'd like. They.
Lunchbox
And I said, well, it's all out here. Yeah, yeah, it's a special. It's for them only. It's not for everybody. Well, why put it out there where everybody walks by and, like, it doesn't have a sign. It didn't say, hey, do not touch this food.
Amy
But do you think any food out is just yours in the building?
Lunchbox
Well, yeah, when it's just set out on a table and it's just like, there.
Amy
But it's not just there. It literally was right next to the conference room. They rented. The whole space is rented.
Lunchbox
Well, yeah, but we walk right by there to go to the bathroom.
Amy
And because we walk by it, it's ours.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I figured that was breakfast for everybody in the building. All I heard.
Amy
Nobody told you that.
Lunchbox
I know, but before we came in this building, all I heard about is all these catered meals. So I thought, oh, but that hasn't.
Amy
Happened once since we met.
Lunchbox
That's why I thought the catered meal.
Amy
You thought that was the one time.
Lunchbox
And I was like, man, my stomach Was, you know, a little bit hungry.
Scuba Steve
Who was it that said it to me? I can't remember which one of the guys it was, but I was walking by, and I wanted to run down to Whole Foods during a break, but I didn't think I had time. And I was like, oh, I'm starving, but there's not enough time. And somebody said, there's food right there.
Lunchbox
I told you there's food right there.
Morgan
Who do you think said that?
Amy
He was trying to sucker you into it.
Elizabeth Nichols
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
I couldn't remember if it was him, but he's owning up to it. So lunch walk said, there's food right there. And I said, I don't think that's for us.
Amy
Yeah, you know why you thought that?
Scuba Steve
Because I think, like, normal.
Amy
And generally any food out, we just. It's not just ours because it's in our building.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Amy
Like, it may be a department of.
Scuba Steve
People in the conference room, and I could see their logos everywhere. Plates of fruit and stuff. Yeah. And then now there's a red rope.
Morgan
Not only that, there were chips in the conference room that had a big sign that said, do not touch.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they did label those finally.
Amy
Did you touch?
Lunchbox
No, I didn't touch. But I went up to grab a bag, and then I saw the sign says, do not touch.
Amy
So basically, they have a bouncer with a red rope keeping Lunchbox away from their food.
Lunchbox
Yes. And then there's a stanchion up. It's like, guys, a what? Isn't it called a stanchion?
Scuba Steve
The red rope.
Morgan
The red rope.
Amy
I never heard that term.
Scuba Steve
I think he knows from, like, his clubbing days.
Lunchbox
Yeah, club.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
And I was like, oh, why are they putting that up? They don't want us to go that way. Now?
Scuba Steve
Yes, now. What's really embarrassing?
Amy
Oh, a stanchion is like, the thing you unclip and you can walk through. Yeah.
Scuba Steve
So then I just went to the bathroom, and I went the long way around because I saw the red rope. And then I go to the bathroom, and I see lunchbox coming from that direction. And I said, did you not see the red rope? He's like, nah, who cares? And I'm like, he doesn't even. It's just embarrassing because they're all in there having meetings, and I know they're seeing him.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's embarrassing that they stanchion off the hallway. Like, oh, you know what I mean? Can't walk down this hallway.
Morgan
Ruined it for all of us.
Amy
Hey, what's the deal with the green room by the Way.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, that's another thing.
Amy
Is it? Scuba, will you tell me about the green room?
Morgan
Oh, maybe that's locked. I think Lunchbox is upset about that.
Amy
That he can't go eat all the guests.
Lunchbox
We finally have good snacks in the green room, and I'm like, oh, we don't.
Amy
It's for guests to come here.
Lunchbox
And I was like, good, I'm going to go eat a snack. Doors locked. Why are we locking the green room?
Amy
Do you know why? The same reason they put up a stanchion.
Lunchbox
Dude, I don't understand. Like, what's the point of having food if you can't eat it?
Amy
The food's not for you.
Lunchbox
Do I work here?
Morgan
It's for our guests, though.
Amy
Like, we have.
Morgan
I got a new client craving to do this, and you have gone in there and eaten all the food from previous clients, and there's nothing for anyone else. And they come in here for his kids. He's feeding his children from our freezer.
Amy
He takes all the food home and then feeds the whole family.
Lunchbox
Stupid. Yeah, like, if I'm leaving and there's like three bags of cookies, you know, hey, I got three kids. Boom, here's a snack.
Amy
That's not what that is.
Lunchbox
It's like snacks with dad. It's like, from work. It's like, it's a special treat.
Morgan
Oh, like donuts with dad.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
Yeah, I heard that Lunchbox didn't already have lockers here, too?
Scuba Steve
Yes, we do have.
Amy
No, no, but they, like, use them like high school.
Scuba Steve
We all have them. But yes, they use them.
Morgan
They use them. What do they put in there?
Scuba Steve
No, they have snacks.
Elizabeth Nichols
Lunchbox pack.
Bobby Bones
Yes, there are snacks in there.
Amy
There's a chicken sandwiches of cookies.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I got snacks in there. I got clothes in there. I mean, I got everything. It's a. It's a locker. It's perfect. That way you don't have to bring yourself every day to work. You can just leave it here and go get it out of the locker.
Amy
Ray, it was explained to me, grab these lockers. Everybody's gonna want one. Well, at the end of the day, nobody did. So there's four of us that are in this huge line of lockers. This place, this whole. This whole work environment is a disaster. Yeah.
Morgan
Because of you.
Amy
The food thing, they can't even give us free food. Honestly. Because of you. Because you took it all home.
Lunchbox
Okay? I mean, that's their fault.
Scuba Steve
Lunchbox. Did you see our receptionist eating the chicken sandwich?
Morgan
I did.
Lunchbox
That's another thing. I'm like, oh, she can get the chicken sandwiches.
Scuba Steve
But no, I'm asking. Did you. Did you ask her about it, though?
Amy
No.
Scuba Steve
Like, but surely what I'm picturing is they probably came in and they're like, hey, she probably welcomed them in, got them all set up, and she probably. They probably said to her, help yourself to some breakfast. I'm just thinking she saw her doing it. Maybe that's why Lunchbox thought that's not why.
Amy
You know why he did it. The same reason he's done it every time, every day.
Lunchbox
But I'm glad. You make a great point.
Amy
She's got to give him ammunition.
Lunchbox
She had the chicken sandwich, and then the other day they had a Panera spread out there and guess who was eating it? The reception.
Scuba Steve
But my.
Amy
She probably had to bring them in and help them do stuff.
Scuba Steve
Thinks they invited her into that because she has helped.
Amy
And you think he saw that? Well, by my deductive reasoning, I believe we all deserve a sandwich.
Scuba Steve
No.
Morgan
Or Lunchbox, do you think she's the reason we have the stanchion out here?
Lunchbox
Oh, that could be.
Amy
Is she your enemy?
Lunchbox
She might be my rival.
Scuba Steve
Like, I want to know where this mansion came from. Like, did those people bring it or did we have one of us talked about it?
Amy
Do you think they know who you are?
Scuba Steve
It's embarrassing.
Lunchbox
Oh, for sure.
Scuba Steve
I don't know.
Lunchbox
Why would they not? They're in our building right now.
Morgan
They're like, they're the. It's the guy that wears the same hoodie every day.
Scuba Steve
Wait. They're probably having some really professional meeting, but I kind of want to go over there and be like, excuse me, would any of you volunteer to come say if you know this guy or.
Amy
Not and bring him up like a police? Like, you identify him and I think they can you guys identify this guy. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan Number two.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Lunchbox
Across the country, cops call this Taser the Revolution.
Eddie
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.
Elizabeth Nichols
She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people.
Amy
Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.
Morgan
I remember sitting on her couch and.
Scuba Steve
Asking her, is this real?
Morgan
Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying?

I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all, his wife, Caroline.
Elizabeth Nichols
He texted, I've ruined our lives.
Amy
You're going to want to divorce me.
Bobby Bones
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family.
Scuba Steve
And to his community.
Amy
She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing.
Morgan
No?
Scuba Steve
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?
Lunchbox
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
Bobby Bones
This season of betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him.
Scuba Steve
Questioning everything they thought they knew.
Bobby Bones

I always had to be so good. No one could ignore me. Carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling.

Bobby Bones
Eddie is on the wheel of punishment. He didn't pay attention when a segment was happening. Not only was he just, like, kind of not paying attention, he repeated a whole segment that happened on the show a week prior. So he got on the wheel of punishment and you're about to hear what he chooses as his punishment because there was a choice in this particular punishment.
Amy
Scenario number five. We're about to do the wheel of punishment and go through the options here for Eddie. Now you get punished if you weren't listening. And so this was the original story from June 10.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from the friendly skies above. There's a flight attendant on a flight from London to New York and supposed to be serving dinner and they can't find the flight attendant and they start searching the whole plane. Where's the flight attendant? He was in the bathroom naked, drinking all the mini bottles.
Scuba Steve
Oh, no.
Amy
Sounds like he had a few mini bottles before he went into the. So that was June 10th. Here's June 20th and Eddie bringing up a story on the show.
Morgan
There's a flight from going from San Francisco to London and everyone's on it. The flight attendants, they're about to serve the meals and they're like, where is this other flight attendant? We haven't seen them. They're just like, I don't. I haven't seen him in like a few hours. And they finally find the flight attendant in the bathroom, but naked.
Amy
Lunchbox. Go, lunchbox. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Hey, Eddie, thanks for paying attention to the show. That was the wheelhead, like, two weeks ago.
Amy
That's Will punishment. That's it. That's where we are.
Morgan
This is ridiculous. If I go to a doctor and get diagnosed as for memory loss, would that count? Because I feel like you can even hear me listening. I wasn't not paying attention.
Amy
We can't hear you listening. That's not a thing where you can hear somebody listening.
Morgan
I'm there going, like, oh, yeah, you know what?
Amy
I'll give you 30 seconds.
Scuba Steve
You could just be using filler words here.
Morgan
You hear you? No, not filler words.
Amy
The judge is now listening. 30 seconds. Go.
Morgan
I believe that in the last, like, four, five years of my life, something has happened to where I'm losing my memory.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Morgan
It could go back to childhood trauma, something that I tried to forget, but I'm. I have a hard time remembering things. I love listening to this show. You guys entertain me every single day. It's one of my. It's my favorite thing to sit right here and listen to y' all stories and I soak them in. But you know what? Sometimes at the end of the day, I forget what I even listened to. It's not that I wasn't paying attention.
Amy
I forget, and I think time I reviewed your case. That's bull crap. I throw it out.
Scuba Steve
Like, you could just say, hey, we talk about a lot of things on this show. Sometimes it just escapes me. I mean, that's more believable than you going way back to, like, something in your childhood that made you not remember. The flight attendant naked in the bathroom drinking.
Amy
Yeah, bull crap. So here's the options I'm gonna give you because we do have the wheel of punishment, and then we can go through them, or you can just play hot chip roulette.
Morgan
Hot chip. Ooh, I kind of like that.
Amy
Because what we can do is tomorrow or the next day, we'll blindfold you, have you pick a number, and we'll have four chips, and then we'll just put one of the chips in your mouth, and you have to eat it.
Morgan
Okay.
Lunchbox
How many of those will be hot, though? 3.
Amy
1 of 4. 1 of 4. 25% chance.
Morgan
I like that option. But can I hear the wheel first?
Amy
Yeah. No. No.
Morgan
So I got to decide now if I want to do the hot chip roulette.
Amy
If you go to the wheel, your hot chip roulette goes one and two. So if you go to the wheel and you say, no, I don't want to do the wheel, and we go back to the chip, it's now 50. 50.
Morgan
50, 50. Yeah, yeah.
Amy
So do you want to hear the wheel?
Morgan
Give me.
Amy
Give.
Morgan
Just give me two seconds. Let me think about this. I'm going to go with hot chip roulette. So one of four.
Amy
One of four.
Morgan
One of four. Let's go hot chip roulette. I'm in.
Lunchbox
Can I hold on?
Amy
30 seconds. 30 seconds.
Morgan
Why do we. Why does he get to appeal?
Amy
I don't know. It sounds fun. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Because the wheel has I don't know how many spaces. He only has two free spaces. If you do hot chip roulette, he has three free spaces. Only one punishment space. That seems absolutely unfair. He should have one free space of the chip and three hot ones. I mean, if you're going by percentages.
Amy
Well, the hot chip roulette's worse than anything else on the list is why? Like, there's long term pain in that.
Scuba Steve
It's not total long term.
Amy
Okay, I'm listening.
Scuba Steve
I mean, it hurts.
Lunchbox
No. 3.
Amy
Fine.
Scuba Steve
Long term, 20 minutes.
Morgan
Oh, guys, that's terrible thing.
Amy
Hurts you the rest of the day.
Morgan
Amy, remember the time you and he.
Lunchbox
Says on this show he loves spicy things.
Morgan
That's not true. I don't. I'm one Mexican that does not like spicy things.
Amy
I hear you. And I don't want to be somebody that doesn't bend. We'll do two of five.
Lunchbox
No, it's the same thing.
Amy
No, it's not.
Lunchbox
Do two of four.
Amy
50.
Morgan
50. Hold on.
Amy
One of four is not the same thing as two of five. One of four is 25. Two of five is 40%.
Scuba Steve
You tell them.
Amy
Tell them.
Morgan
So, so first it was one of four.
Amy
Yes.
Morgan
Now can we negotiate to one of three?
Amy
Oh, that's. That's. Deal.
Morgan
Deal.
Amy
Okay, deal.
Morgan
So one of three chips is going to be hot. Love it.
Scuba Steve
So now it's 33%.
Lunchbox
So he just lost 7%.
Amy
Yes. But. But he went up 13%. He actually made a bad deal.
Morgan
What?
Amy
You mathematically made a bad deal. And I. I took it and I'm running with it. Okay, we'll play hot chip roulette tomorrow. There'll be three chips. You'll pick one and you'll blindly eat one of the chips. And we can give him no relief for at least 15 seconds.
Morgan
What do you mean? Like no milk, water, no nothing?
Lunchbox
Yeah. Wow. Hey, and that's before he eats.
Scuba Steve
He has to eat the whole chip. I can't co. Sign on to that. You don't. That's pain. That's pain and suffering. To not provide anything's pain and suffering. Yeah, but after 15 seconds, remember Amy almost died when I went through that. If I didn't have anything within 15 minutes, I mean, y' all certainly didn't have it, right?
Amy
Why not give him massage then? Why? He's eating it.
Morgan
15 minutes is a long time.
Amy
And why not put cash in his pockets?
Scuba Steve
Okay, I'M just saying it's a long time. Like, he's gonna be.
Morgan
How about like. Like five minutes of no relief?
Amy
Deal. Why would you say that?
Morgan
You said 15 minutes of no relief.
Amy
That's 15 minutes.
Morgan
Yes, that's what Amy just said.
Scuba Steve
That's why I said. I.
Lunchbox
Said five minutes.
Amy
I thought I said 15 seconds. My bad.
Morgan
Okay, 15 seconds is great.
Lunchbox
No, no, you already agreed to five minutes. You agreed to five minutes. No, that contract is terrible, negotiator.
Amy
Because I said the wrong thing and you kind of agree my wrong.
Scuba Steve
Okay, I can throw you off at him defending you.
Amy
Good point. Because 15 minutes, that would be terrible. You're right. So five minutes.
Scuba Steve
You would think you're gonna die.
Amy
Okay, so how about five seconds? 30 seconds.
Morgan
15.
Amy
30.
Morgan
15 seconds.
Amy
29 seconds.
Scuba Steve
It's got 30 seconds. He can survive.
Amy
Okay, 30 seconds, no relief. One for three?
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Amy
Okay, one minute. One for three, and then one minute of no relief.
Morgan
One for 30 minutes of no relief.
Amy
30 minutes.
Morgan
One for four. No. 30 seconds.
Amy
Okay, it's gonna be one for three and 30 seconds of no relief.
Morgan
Fine.
Amy
Okay, that's tomorrow.
Morgan
Fine. This is terrible.
Amy
They still make those guys?
Lunchbox
I have no idea.
Amy
We had to order it, so. Oh, well, they were banned for a while. Just so you know.
Morgan
I hate to break it to you, but they could do overnight orders.
Amy
Okay, well, let's get to ordering. I'll get online right now. That's what we'll try to do tomorrow. If we can't do it tomorrow, we'll do it Friday.
Morgan
Got it?
Amy
Okay. Deal. All right. And you're good with this?
Morgan
I mean, not really. My memory loss. You're taking advantage of another disease that I have, but.
Amy
Okay, we're good with that. We feel good with that. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Bobby Bones
Bobby had an acting opportunity for somebody on the show, and this is huge because there's a few of us on the show that want to be actors. So he sets it up. Did somebody take the role? That's what we're about to find out.
Amy
Now, number four. So who wants an acting role in the 911 Nashville show they're doing?
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Amy
Because I have a little lead here.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Lunchbox
Oh, okay.
Amy
So they have that show 911, and I think this is a spin off of that. And they've rented out this big building in town they're using as a hub to do the production.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Amy
But 911 Nashville. So I got this. 911 Nashville will be filming scenes, and they're looking for guys.
Morgan
Let's go.
Amy
Okay. Do you mean to submit you?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Okay. 911 Nashville will be filming scenes at a male strip club.
Morgan
Yep. That's all you need to do.
Amy
Looking for guys comfortable appearing in a strip club scene featuring male dancers reacting, cheering, and engaging as background patrons during a performance.
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah.
Amy
So you're acting.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Scuba Steve
This is everything you've been preparing for.
Lunchbox
This is what I've been preparing for.
Amy
So what do you.
Lunchbox
This is not what I've been preparing for.
Amy
What do you.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Scuba Steve
Well, every actor looks for the role to be stretched like they want to be.
Amy
Yeah. Because you're Brokeback Mountain.
Scuba Steve
Yes.
Amy
They weren't gay in Brokeback Mountain. I'm not gonna lie. But they played it. Go and do your version of Brokeback Mountain and go to the male strip club and sit in there and let them dance around and on you.
Morgan
Lunchbox.
Scuba Steve
And cheer. You have to cheer.
Morgan
Lunchbox. Think about this.
Amy
Yeah, go ahead.
Morgan
You don't think the universe prepped you for this when you did the whole Thunder down under thing? Like, this could be fate. You already been in the audience at one of those.
Amy
Because I have an inn that will put you in the chair where they actually get on you.
Scuba Steve
Shut up.
Lunchbox
Go.
Scuba Steve
You have an inn. I have an inner lunch. But you have to do it.
Morgan
You're going to be on tv.
Scuba Steve
Guys, don't ever tell us how you want to act again.
Amy
You might get typecast, though.
Lunchbox
That's the problem.
Amy
I'm just saying you never know because you really got into it.
Lunchbox
I'm a good actor. You really got into it. I don't know. I mean, I'm a. So such a good actor.
Amy
But saying no does bring power. It does. It does give you power sometimes.
Morgan
You really wouldn't have to act here. But this is yourself.
Amy
You can't ever complain.
Lunchbox
But I'd have to act like I like it.
Amy
Yeah. No, no, love it. They need somebody to act like they love it. The acting part, like banana hammock. Ain't nothing takes it finer.
Morgan
Here we go.
Lunchbox
Oh, I don't know if I can.
Amy
And it's like an eight hour shoot where you have to do it.
Lunchbox
Eight hours?
Amy
Yeah. Eight hours. Yeah.
Morgan
They probably have catering, all that stuff.
Scuba Steve
How much would he get?
Amy
A lot of bananas.
Lunchbox
No. Oh, man.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, I thought this over with my agent.
Amy
And eggplants.
Morgan
Who's your agent?
Amy
That's all catering is. Who?
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
Who's your agent?
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
Who's Jackson Hughes?
Morgan
Who?
Lunchbox
Jackson Hughes.
Morgan
Oh, yeah, I forgot about him, which.
Amy
Is the name he made up because.
Lunchbox
No. Oh, my gosh. I don't know if that's a good look for me.
Amy
Okay. And people have to turn down looks all the time.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I don't know.
Amy
So could you do an eight hour scene as the number one patron at a male strip club? You'd be listed as patron, number one.
Morgan
TV star. But you.
Amy
It's an eight hour shoot and you have to be there all day.
Morgan
The whole country's gonna see this.
Amy
You don't have any lines, but you just have to enjoy.
Scuba Steve
Can we also to appreciate that it's a show called 911 and he loves.
Morgan
Oh, my goodness. That's another thing. That's fake. That's fake.
Amy
Straight actors who have played gay actors. Tom Hanks, he won an Oscar.
Morgan
Philadelphia.
Amy
Yep. Because he played a gay lawyer with aids.
Morgan
Did a great job.
Amy
Dude. You could win it.
Lunchbox
But he didn't.
Amy
You can win, I guess not an Oscar, but he could win an Emmy.
Morgan
Yes, he did have to do whatever you're talking about.
Scuba Steve
But he didn't.
Amy
He didn't, Sean. Well, they're not asking you do that. They're just. They.
Lunchbox
Do you understand that someone's like, hot dog is going to be in my face.
Amy
Well, that's again, that's catering. All catering that day is going to be bananas. Eggplants and hot dogs.
Lunchbox
Man, I don't know what to do here. Like, what would you like, Bobby? Like, I think for career advice. What would you say?
Amy
Man, I think if sometimes turning down.
Lunchbox
Things is a good thing, right?
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It makes you harder to get.
Amy
Pun intended.
Lunchbox
No, I don't know what you mean.
Scuba Steve
But nobody.
Morgan
What about turning down a big opportunity?
Amy
There are no lines here. It's just. It's just enjoy, Enjoy like a dude on you.
Morgan
What's in front of you.
Scuba Steve
But like, you meet directors, you meet producers, they remember you for future projects.
Amy
I'm gonna use the pictures of this on every post.
Morgan
No, don't say that now.
Lunchbox
I think. I mean, I think I'm going to bow out, man.
Amy
Well, not bow out, just say no because you haven't taken it.
Lunchbox
That's what I mean. I mean, I had taken it because you were like, do you want me to nominate you? At the very beginning of this, I said yes, but then I didn't know the role, so now I need to back out.
Scuba Steve
I'm disappointed.
Morgan
Lunchbox, don't be dumb. Do this, dude.
Scuba Steve
He says no, you're texting your contact.
Amy
I said yes. He says no.
Scuba Steve
Lunchbox. This is as simple as he could say.
Amy
He'd be there.
Lunchbox
It's as simple as. I can't. I don't think I can do that.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Morgan
This is your moral.
Amy
Scenes in a male strip club. Casting is looking for guys comfortable appearing in a strip club scene. Featuring male dancers reacting, cheering and engaging his background patrons during a performance. Could even be patron one.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Scuba Steve
Patron one. Not even two. Not three.
Amy
One, like, right in the chair.
Morgan
That's huge.
Amy
Full lap.
Lunchbox
That is. No, see, I can't. Like, then I'd have to. I'd have to go back to my friends and my family and explore.
Scuba Steve
I don't even know. You're acting.
Amy
You're acting. But I did say no. Okay, thank you. He just turned down a role.
Morgan
Oh, my goodness.
Lunchbox
No, no, it's.
Amy
You turn down a role.
Lunchbox
Right, right. I'm still looking for roles, but sometimes the roles aren't. You can't take every role that's given to you.
Amy
What about any.
Lunchbox
What do you mean?
Amy
You should take any role that's given to you for you.
Lunchbox
No, you just told me I shouldn't take it.
Amy
No, no, I said I would use the picture a lot.
Lunchbox
Yeah, man, I'm going to have to. I mean, Nashville911, if you need me in something else, you know, you have my number. But.
Amy
No, they don't have your number. They have mine number.
Lunchbox
Well, that's what I mean. That's my. You can.
Amy
My name is not Jackson Hughes.
Morgan
Oh, they're not gonna call you back after this.
Amy
Okay, there we go. He has said no. How do we feel about that, Amy?
Scuba Steve
I'm disappointed. Although I guess if it was reversed and you were telling me you wanted me to go to a male strip club and act excited as a woman.
Amy
For acting, you wouldn't. You wouldn't do that.
Scuba Steve
I don't think so.
Amy
What?
Lunchbox
Well, dance on you.
Scuba Steve
I know, but I've got kids acting. I know acting. Ah, yeah.
Lunchbox
So after all that trash you just talked to me, you.
Scuba Steve
I'm disappointed. You don't care about stuff like that. Like, if it was women, you would be there.
Lunchbox
I care about banana hammocks in my face.
Amy
Broke back lunchbox is not gonna happen.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
Okay, then we'll move on. Let's go. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Dan Flores

Amy
I'll correct my kids now and then.

Lunchbox
Have a real affinity for caves.
Dan Flores

Lunchbox
Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution.
Eddie
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Lunchbox
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
Eddie
From Lava For Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1 Taser Incorporated.

She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.
Elizabeth Nichols
She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people.
Amy
Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.
Morgan
I remember sitting on her couch and.
Scuba Steve
Asking her, is this real?
Morgan
Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying.
Lunchbox
This is a story all about trust.
Amy
And about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh.
Bobby Bones
I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?

Elizabeth Nichols
Texted, I've ruined our lives.
Amy
You're going to want to divorce me.
Bobby Bones
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family and to his community.
Amy
She said you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing.
Morgan
No.
Scuba Steve
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?
Lunchbox
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
Bobby Bones

Going to lose my mind over all things Cowboy Carter. I know, girl. The world way. She about to yank my bank account.
Amy
Correct.
Morgan
And one thing I really love about this is that she is celebrating her daughters. Oh, I know.
Amy
Listen to High key on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Bobby Bones
There's a lot of 911 moments that have happened on our show. A lot with Lunchbox, sometimes with Eddie. Some other people have had other instances, but this particular one may be the best ever. 911 situation that has happened. And thankfully, I can say best ever because the person who had 911 called for them is doing okay.
Amy
Number three, Eddie had to call 911. But this was a serious. This was like somebody getting hurt really bad.
Morgan
No, this was so scary, man. It was on Father's Day, and my kids were outside playing football on the street. I was mowing the lawn. My wife was working on, like, some of the plants in the front yard. And one of our neighbors comes out. He's like, hey, boys, throw the ball. Throw the ball. And I did not see it happen. I was head down, looking at the yard, and one of my sons like, dad, turn the lawnmower off. Turn the lawnmower off. And he points to the street, and the neighbor fell. He's like, probably in his 60s. He fell. He hit his head on the curb. There was blood everywhere, and he wasn't moving. So first thing I do is like, call 91 1. I yell to my wife, call 911.
Amy
Saved him.
Morgan
I'm the only Adult there. So I ran to him.
Amy
Oh.
Morgan
And he was kind of like, oh, my head, my head. And I sat him up. And, guys, this is how my dad died. So I was not. I was in. Like, we're not going to risk anything. We're getting an ambulance here quick. Like, let's get him here. So we call 911. And I'm speaking to him like, where are we right now? And he's like, what? Like, where are we? Because I hear that scene in the movies, right? Like, tell us where we're at. See if he's at where you were. He said, Nashville. I'm like, that's good. And then he's like, I need to lay down. And I was like, in the movies, they say, don't let him lay down. So I'm like, no, no, no. Stay up, stay up.
Amy
Don't let him go to sleep.
Morgan
Well, I figured he was wanting to lay down, and I didn't want him to go to sleep. Or maybe the blood leave his head. I have no idea, dude. I'd never been in this situation.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
So finally. Hey, props to the fire department. The ambulance, they rolled up in, I would say, two minutes.
Scuba Steve
Oh, wow.
Amy
That quick.
Morgan
That quick two minutes. And I just got word, like, just yesterday that he is okay because I hadn't seen him. I don't really normally see this neighbor. He's in his house. He never comes out, and randomly, he just wanted to play football with the boys. And so, yeah, I found out he's okay. He did have a concussion. He might have a broken arm. Because his sister, who's with him now, said that. Yeah, like, he can't move his left arm.
Amy
Dang, that sucks. Are you a bit jealous, lunchbox?
Lunchbox
Yeah, man. That kind of makes you mad.
Morgan
Why does it make you mad?
Lunchbox
Because I like to call 91 1, and I haven't been able to say, like, situations around me have not presented themselves for 91 1, so you got to be in the action. And it felt good. But here's the thing.
Morgan
No, no, no.
Lunchbox
Here's the thing.
Amy
Really?
Lunchbox
You didn't even do it. Your wife did it.
Morgan
Well, because I had to run to aid.
Amy
But if Eddie said, call 91 1, that's doing it.
Lunchbox
No, that's not. I don't yell, call 911 to someone. I pull out my own phone and call 91 1, and I'm on the scene. Like, I can do both at one time.
Scuba Steve
Well, Eddie was mowing the yard.
Lunchbox
He doesn't have his phone in his.
Amy
Pocket, but Eddie had To run, to tend to the person. You don't ever run.
Lunchbox
Oh, I run to everybody.
Amy
No, but you don't get to them to, like, hold them up and talk with them.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I do.
Scuba Steve
He did at the post office when he delivered the baby.
Amy
That's a lie. He never called 911 and he didn't deliver a baby.
Lunchbox
I didn't deliver. I held the lady's hand.
Amy
Held her hand, and he didn't call 911. And that story, we put him on a lie detector and it came back not true.
Scuba Steve
Those are not admissible in court.
Lunchbox
Thank you, Amy.
Amy
This is not court.
Lunchbox
Exactly.
Amy
No, exactly doesn't work as an argument to that. This is not court.
Morgan
And the fact that he's jealous is so dumb. Like, I would rather not have this happen.
Scuba Steve
That's definitely dumb.
Amy
Okay, good question, Lunchbox. Would you like for all that to happen to you?
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like, I mean, the guy's okay, right?
Amy
He's probably hurting.
Morgan
He's.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but you get to feel like a hero.
Amy
Do you feel like a hero?
Morgan
A little bit.
Amy
Oh, you do? A little bit.
Morgan
But.
Amy
And I'll tell you why so dumb.
Morgan
Because when he wanted to lay down and I said, don't do it. See, my wife was on the phone, says he's. He wants to lay down. And she said, no, don't let him do it. The dispatcher says, don't let him do it. I'm like, so I'm talking about.
Scuba Steve
Yeah. That is freaky, though, knowing that your dad experienced something like that and then you had to, like, rush over there, stay calm, and that you knew. Like, I do think that you acted quickly and are part of why he's doing okay. Because what if he had. Have laid down? And what if he had exercise?
Amy
This might be the greatest 911 rescue of our show stop in the history.
Lunchbox
You have lost your mind.
Amy
I think we do. Three cheers for Eddie.
Morgan
Hip, hip, hooray.
Amy
Hip, hip, hooray. Hip, hip, hooray.
Scuba Steve
Did Eddie wait to make sure that he was okay before he talked about it?
Dan Flores
No.
Morgan
Well, I guess so. Yeah. Kind of.
Amy
Yeah.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, that's what I would do.
Morgan
I mean, can you imagine if he. It didn't go well.
Amy
Like, I'm so moved by.
Lunchbox
Stop.
Amy
You know what? For he's a jolly good fellow He's a jolly good fellow for he's a jolly good fellow.
Scuba Steve
Which nobody can deny.
Amy
Wow.
Morgan
Thank you.
Amy
Wow.
Morgan
No, I'm not a hero, guys. I'm not a hero. I just did what I thought was the right thing. To do.
Amy
Wow.
Lunchbox
What about all the times I've done it?
Amy
You haven't saved anybody like this.
Lunchbox
Are you kidding me? I mean, when that one Tell us More was at the stop sign and she was out of the car saying, someone help me. Someone help me.
Morgan
I don't remember that one.
Lunchbox
And I called 911 and gave chase to the car.
Scuba Steve
Wait, there's some.
Amy
That story's not accurate.
Lunchbox
No, no, it's 100% accurate.
Amy
She was in the car.
Lunchbox
She was out of the car.
Amy
You never caught the car, though.
Lunchbox
She was out of the car, but.
Amy
You never got her.
Scuba Steve
But did she get back in the car?
Lunchbox
Because the guy got out of the car, goes, you're going to get back in the car right now.
Amy
Then why didn't you jump out and stop him and fight him? Got his hands dirty.
Lunchbox
I had my kids in car.
Amy
But you didn't do it is a point.
Lunchbox
And I followed him, like, through Numer. We ran red lights in the car.
Amy
You put other people's lives at risk, including your kids running red lights to be a hero.
Lunchbox
Kept saying, I'm like, you guys? Where are you guys? Where are you guys? And they're like, oh, we're coming. We're coming. I mean, I'm like, we're going past the Kroger right now. We're going past the McDonald's. And I mean, I followed forever, but.
Amy
Did you ever see.
Lunchbox
No. The cops want me to back off.
Amy
You were right.
Lunchbox
Because they said, all right, we got the license plate. We know where they live. And I'm like, no, no. How do you know they're going home, man?
Amy
Eddie, great job.
Morgan
Thank you.
Lunchbox
Does it make you Want to call 911 more now?
Morgan
No, no, no, I wouldn't. I'd rather not call 91 1. Like, I don't want to be in that situation. But I will say that when the ambulance got there and everything, like, we were so involved in the situation with the man that, like, the. The paramedic looks. He's like, who's the parent of those kids? And I look back, and all four of my kids are, like, staring, like, with their face like, oh, my gosh, what is happening? They're like, somebody should go put those kids back in the house.
Amy
I'm like, they saw their dad be a hero.
Morgan
I mean, I didn't think about that.
Amy
Yeah, that's what they saw. Lunchbox's kids almost died in a run of red light. His argument back to him doing good was, I ran red lights. My kids in the car.
Lunchbox
I Mean, I was.
Amy
You had a great idea, and I.
Lunchbox
Think I've been a hero so many times.
Amy
Was there. But Eddie actually saved a guy's life.
Morgan
No.
Lunchbox
What about the guy at the time I found a body in the street?
Morgan
I don't remember that one. No, that was all these.
Amy
Jerry o' Connell.
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no, no, no. You guys may not remember this one, but, man. I exited the highway, and I took a right on the street, and there was a. What I thought was a trash bag in the middle of the road. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Oh, no, that's. That's a. That's a dead body. And I blocked traffic.
Morgan
What is he talking about?
Amy
Guys?
Morgan
He found a dead body.
Scuba Steve
I sort of remember.
Amy
Hey, what's the movie?
Morgan
Stand By.
Amy
Me? Yeah.
Morgan
Is that what you're talking about?
Lunchbox
No. Leeches? No, no, no, no, no.
Scuba Steve
I remember there being a trash bag.
Amy
Amy, you're always. You always got back all this time, though.
Scuba Steve
Not always.
Amy
Go ahead. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
And I can tell you the night and everything. I met Jimmy and Amy at neighbors.
Morgan
Who.
Lunchbox
They were on my soccer team.
Amy
We don't know who they are. Go ahead. Exactly how did you save this guy's life?
Lunchbox
And I was driving, and it was when Ray and I lived together, and I exited that road, took a right, and there's a dead body in the road. And people are just going around it, like, driving, probably because they don't think.
Amy
It'S a dead body, Right?
Scuba Steve
They think it's a trash bag.
Lunchbox
It looks like a trash bag. And then when I got up close, I saw the white sneakers, and I was like, oh, that's a body. And I parked my car parallel, and I called 911. I said, there's a dead body. There's a dead body in the road.
Amy
Okay, well, and how did you save him?
Lunchbox
And they're like, are you sure he's dead? Go up and touch it.
Scuba Steve
No, they don't.
Lunchbox
Wait. I swear.
Morgan
Jesus.
Amy
Can you poke it with a stick, sir?
Lunchbox
No. I swear to you. They said, touch the body, and I got out.
Morgan
You touched the body?
Amy
That's the dumbest story I ever heard. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
No, this is not a dumb story.
Amy
All right, go ahead.
Lunchbox
And I got out, and I was like, sir, sir. And I was like, he's dead. He's dead. And they're like, all right, Help is on the way. And then he popped up, and I'm like, oh, my God, he's alive. He's alive. And that's like undertaker. When he raises up and he just looks at me. And what's crazy is he had a Taco Bell cup that didn't spill. Like, it was right next to him. But his little huffing can, like, it went rolling down the street.
Scuba Steve
Oh, he was high.
Lunchbox
And I was like, dude, just sit down. The help is on the way. And he's like. And he got up and walked away. And then he went all the way down the street on the right side, crossed over the left, came back. He's like, hey, man, did you see where my can went? And went and grabbed it and ran off. He and I saved his life. He would got hit by a car.
Scuba Steve
I do remember this, y' all. You don't.
Morgan
I mean, I don't know.
Scuba Steve
That's great because Ray lived with him. I. I remember this.
Lunchbox
I was on the phone with my. My wife at the time.
Amy
Yeah. Confirmed. It's true story. I hear you.
Morgan
You had a different wife at the time.
Scuba Steve
No, no, no. At the time.
Amy
I still think Eddie wins because Eddie called 911 and they came.
Morgan
Yeah, dude, I don't think that's him.
Lunchbox
The fire department came.
Amy
But that's good. But that's good. You did a good job.
Morgan
Good job.
Lunchbox
I saved his life. Three cheers for me.
Amy
Hip, hip, hooray.
Lunchbox
Hip, hip, hooray.
Amy
Hip, hip, hooray. 20 years ago.
Lunchbox
For he's a jolly good fellow for he's a jolly good.
Amy
Ray, we have to go. Get us out of here. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.
Bobby Bones
For the first time ever, Bobby shotgunned. He's never had alcohol in his life, so he would never do a beer bong or shotgun a beer. So I brought in a liquid death, and it was flavored so he could kind of get the carbonated effect of beer, and he shotgun for the first time. It was kind of a hot mess. The visual is great, so go check out our YouTube page.
Amy
Number two. I've never shotgunned a beer. I've never drank a beer, but I'm about to shotgun something here. Morgan, what is that?
Bobby Bones
Well, shotgunning a beer means you're going to make this go down very quickly.
Amy
Okay. But it's not a beer.
Scuba Steve
It's a can of water. Right? We got you a can of water.
Bobby Bones
It's liquid death. It looks like a beer. It's going to operate in the same capacity as a beer.
Amy
Is it harder to shotgun water?
Morgan
Well, this is sparkling water.
Lunchbox
I've never tried champagne.
Bobby Bones
It's only been beer, so I'm not.
Scuba Steve
Well, beer's carbonated yeah, yeah.
Morgan
So same thing.
Scuba Steve
This is pretty much as close as you could get.
Amy
So some athletes are born really athletic and they develop little skills around it. Some are born not as athletic and they developed how to play the game, strategy, strength, tenacity. Are some people just born great shotgunners? And some they learn to do it?
Scuba Steve
No, I think you develop learned.
Lunchbox
I think.
Scuba Steve
No, I think given like a special throat.
Amy
Have I been given?
Scuba Steve
I guess you'll never know until you try.
Amy
Morgan, what's the key to shotgunning?
Bobby Bones
Something you're gonna open up your throat, see, and it just has to go right down. That's the key really. Like you open your mouth, open your throat, and it goes down.
Amy
But if I open my throat, like my mouth's open right now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
How do I open my throat?
Bobby Bones
You kind of feel that, like it's like a contraction kind of in the back of your throat. You can kind of tell when you stop something from going down. You're gonna try and not.
Amy
So I waterboard myself, basically, a little bit.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you may. Because it's your first time, I have a feeling it's gonna be a lot of.
Scuba Steve
Okay, I know exactly. You need to be able to really open up the Orofenix.
Morgan
What is that?
Scuba Steve
That's the back of the throat.
Amy
Is there a way to stretch that?
Scuba Steve
I. I don't know.
Amy
So do I pop the lid or do I do like when I see Ray or somebody doing. They stab it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're gonna stab it. Well, we just need to grab a key and we're gonna stab right here and then you will pop the top.
Amy
So can you key it for me then?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we can key it.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Do you have a key?
Morgan
Yeah, got keys.
Amy
So I'm gonna walk over to the stage.
Lunchbox
Eddie, how do you pop the top.
Amy
Even after you key it?
Morgan
Yes, yes, that's how the shoots. That helps you shoot it down your throat.
Scuba Steve
I'm a little worried though.
Bobby Bones
I've never popped.
Amy
I'd pop it on the stage.
Lunchbox
I would.
Amy
Okay, so do I need to be with you when you pop it? Because I'm gonna go do it on the stage.
Morgan
Yes, you gotta do it quick because it'll come.
Amy
Okay, I'm now on the stage. Oh, oh, it's going.
Lunchbox
You already?
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Morgan
That's all right, that's all right.
Lunchbox
Oh, oh, okay.
Amy
Also, that was like the initial and now she's. Do you need to even open the top then?
Morgan
Yes, you do.
Amy
I'm like a 12 year old. You guys are teaching a shotgun a.
Morgan
Beer hey, you're just so you know, you're gonna drink out of that keyhole, not the top.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Okay. I thought that.
Morgan
Okay.
Amy
Otherwise, what? I'll jump out of the bottom.
Lunchbox
Are you okay getting it all over your clothes?
Amy
Oh, I have to say it's gonna get on my clothes.
Lunchbox
Oh, I got a feeling that you're gonna have a lot of spillage.
Amy
Should I put on a different shirt or just let it rip? Okay, you guys want nip.
Lunchbox
Eddie? How do you think he's gonna do?
Morgan
I don't know. It's the first time. Let's see.
Lunchbox
Okay, that's what I'm saying.
Amy
Like, how long did it take to normally do this?
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Morgan
Two seconds.
Bobby Bones
Tilt it. Wait, don't tilt it. Don't tilt it. Okay, so you're gonna need to, like, you're gonna put your mouth on this before you pop that.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And then as soon as your mouth is on it, you're gonna lean your head back and pop it.
Scuba Steve
Let it smooth.
Morgan
Ready? Let's go. Let's go. You ready?
Scuba Steve
Okay. Three, two, one, Go.
Amy
Go, go, go, go, go.
Morgan
Go. No.
Scuba Steve
Maybe some people are born party foul.
Lunchbox
I really do think some people are born with it.
Amy
I don't think I swallowed one.
Lunchbox
No, I don't think you did.
Morgan
You didn't.
Bobby Bones
You didn't tilt the. The head back, and you didn't open.
Amy
I tried to tilt the head back. It did not.
Morgan
Oh, that was tough.
Amy
So is that common for the first time that you guys do that? For that to happen?
Lunchbox
Yes, for sure.
Bobby Bones
So to learn skill, you. We might have to get you a second try.
Amy
A little more in here. Hold on. So if I.
Bobby Bones
So tilt your head all the way back.
Lunchbox
Like, all.
Bobby Bones
Throw your head back.
Morgan
That's it.
Amy
There you go.
Morgan
Did it go down good?
Lunchbox
No. No.
Amy
Open your throat.
Scuba Steve
You have to swallow.
Lunchbox
You can't chipmunk it.
Morgan
What does that mean?
Lunchbox
Put it in your cheeks.
Morgan
Come on. Head up. Don't swallow it.
Lunchbox
Get your head up. Oh, my gosh.
Scuba Steve
Oh, gosh.
Morgan
Spitting it out.
Bobby Bones
It is common if you need to throw up.
Scuba Steve
Are you okay?
Lunchbox
Yeah. It is.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
I did it. Oh, no, no, we can't.
Scuba Steve
Did anybody time that?
Morgan
Nah.
Amy
Oh, there's still more in here.
Lunchbox
It's on the ground. There's nothing to time it must some.
Scuba Steve
People shotgun a beer in, like.
Lunchbox
It's going to hurt. It's going to hurt.
Scuba Steve
Three seconds.
Morgan
And that's just water, man.
Lunchbox
But I do feel like some people are born with it and you're not.
Morgan
Hey, the party already left no, we nailed it.
Amy
Yeah. We're going streaking.
Lunchbox
Oh. Oh.
Amy
It's all over my face. That now? Yeah. So that wasn't good. There was no part of that. That was good.
Bobby Bones
Not really.
Morgan
No.
Lunchbox
No. You open the can. Good. You popped the top. That was really good. The way you held it. It was good.
Bobby Bones
But you didn't throw your head back or open your throat in any.
Lunchbox
And you tilted it to the right so it all came out the regular hole and then.
Scuba Steve
Wait, what?
Amy
Oh, is that what happened?
Lunchbox
It came out the hole?
Scuba Steve
Yes. But also, what. What was up? Like, why. Why didn't you swallow?
Amy
I don't know. Okay. I just.
Morgan
Did you try. Did you try to.
Amy
It burned.
Morgan
Yes. Yes, it burned.
Amy
It burnt? Yeah. Okay. So I have to go back to my desk. That was unsuccessful. But I gave. It's soaking wet up here. So we'll clean the stage off and we will come back. I give myself a solid B, though.
Morgan
Well, all right.
Scuba Steve
What's your scale cry?
Bobby Bones
Most of it is on the floor.
Amy
It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian, Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Rinella.
Amy
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the.
Lunchbox
Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
Dan Flores
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
Amy
Listen to the American west with Dan.
Morgan
Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Eddie
I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Lunchbox
Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution.
Eddie
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Lunchbox
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.
Eddie
From lava for good. And the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season 1 Taser Incorporated.
Morgan
I get right back there and it's bad.
Amy
It's really, really, really bad.
Eddie

Lunchbox
She was a decorated veteran, a Marine who saved her comrades, a hero.
Elizabeth Nichols
She was stoic, modest, tough, someone who inspired people.
Amy
Everyone thought they knew her until they didn't.
Morgan
I remember sitting on her couch and.
Scuba Steve
Asking her, is this real?
Morgan
Is this real? Is this real? Is this real? I just couldn't wrap my head around what kind of person would do that to another person that was getting treatment, that was, you know, dying.
Lunchbox
This is a story all about trust.
Amy
And about a woman named Sarah Kavanaugh.
Bobby Bones
I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right?
Amy
And I maximized that while I was lying.
Lunchbox
Listen to Deep Cover the truth about.
Amy
Sarah on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Bobby Bones
I'm Andrea Gunning, host of the podcast Betrayal. Police Lieutenant Joel Kern used his badge to fool everyone, most of all, his wife, Caroline.
Elizabeth Nichols
He texted, I've ruined our lives.
Amy
You're going to want to divorce me.
Bobby Bones
Caroline's husband was living another life behind the scenes. He betrayed his oath to his family.
Scuba Steve
And to his community.
Amy
She said, you left bruises, pulled her hair, that type of thing.
Morgan
No.
Scuba Steve
How far would Joel go to cover up what he'd done?
Lunchbox
You're unable to keep track of all your lies, and quite frankly, I question how many other women may bring forward allegations in the future.
Bobby Bones
This season of Betrayal investigates one officer's decades of deception. Lies that left those closest to him.
Scuba Steve
Questioning everything they thought they knew.
Bobby Bones
Listen to betrayal on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Morgan
I always had to be so good. No one could ignore me, Carve my path with data and drive. But some people only see who I am on paper. The paper ceiling. The limitations from degree screens to stereotypes that are holding back over 70 million stars. Workers skilled through alternative routes rather than a bachelor's degree. It's time for skills to speak for themselves. Find resources for breaking through barriers@taylorpaperceiling.org brought to you by opportunityatwork and the Ad Council.
Bobby Bones
Everyone cannot stop talking about this fitness test this week. So I know we've done a few recently, but this was knees to feet, you would sit on your knees, and from your knees, jump to your feet. You couldn't use your hands or anything else kind of momentum. And some people on the show did really well, others not so much. And one may also resulted in an injury number one.
Amy
So only 8% of people can do this. Next fitness test we tried the one where you sit down Indian style.
Morgan
Crisscross applesauce.
Scuba Steve
Yep. Woke or cross legged.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
And from sitting there, you can't use your hands and you have to just get up.
Morgan
That was tough.
Lunchbox
That was bad, man.
Scuba Steve
And it wasn't hard at all.
Amy
The next one is, again, only 8% of people can do it. And here's me doing it at the house. And so you go from your knees, and all you do, you have to go from your knees. No using your hands, and you just have to hop up from your knees.
Morgan
Oh, you did it.
Scuba Steve
That looks more difficult than the.
Amy
Well, yeah. Only 8% of people can do it.
Morgan
Okay, that's tough.
Lunchbox
Oh, boy.
Scuba Steve
And you did it. No problem. That was first take.
Morgan
Yeah. Was that first time?
Amy
Yeah. It was easy.
Scuba Steve
Or have you been practicing?
Amy
You can't really practice that because if you do you. If you don't get it, you're going to tear it.
Scuba Steve
I guess you do those jump ups all the time.
Amy
I mean, that's not really something. Yeah, you can't really practice.
Lunchbox
That's what I thought about when I saw you do it on that video. I'm like, man, how did you not rip every muscle in your legs?
Amy
Anybody want to give it a run?
Scuba Steve
I guess.
Amy
What pants do you have on, though?
Scuba Steve
Jeans.
Amy
Okay.
Scuba Steve
But they're stretchy, kind of.
Amy
All right, you want to go first?
Scuba Steve
Sure.
Amy
All right. Hop on down. Somebody may have to catch her.
Morgan
Oh, so she didn't fall back or forward? Is that. Is that kind of the risk?
Amy
I don't know. I watch people online do it and they fall all over the place. I mean, if you guys need me to show you again. Oh, I heard Pops, everything.
Morgan
She's already, like, groaning.
Scuba Steve
Hold it and do it. Yeah, yeah.
Amy
You can't hold them.
Scuba Steve
Oh, my. This. I already can tell. Like, I don't think my body can do that. Like, so from your knees, I don't have the momentum.
Amy
Do you forfeit? No, wait, he.
Morgan
He was straight up. He was standing like.
Amy
Yes.
Morgan
Knees.
Amy
Stand straight up.
Morgan
Oh.
Scuba Steve
Oh, thank God. This seemed impossible.
Amy
So you want to go. You're on your knees, and now. Now you all want to just go knees to feet.
Morgan
How do you do that?
Amy
Knees to Feet, Go.
Scuba Steve
Okay.
Amy
And go.
Scuba Steve
Knees to feet.
Amy
Go.
Scuba Steve
Okay. You have to.
Morgan
I can't.
Amy
Oh, okay. Sorry. I don't know. I don't know what you want for me.
Scuba Steve
My body has to go.
Amy
You want me to count you down or are you just waiting on you?
Scuba Steve
I'm waiting on my body.
Amy
Okay, here she goes. She's waiting on her body to tell her what to do.
Scuba Steve
Are your toes tucked?
Amy
It doesn't matter.
Scuba Steve
Under.
Amy
It doesn't matter. You can tuck. Here we go. She's flinching and she's waving her arms. There you go.
Scuba Steve
My body just won't.

Lunchbox
We've all experienced being put on hold, the annoying music, the automated message. It's excruciating. And right now, America's seniors are on hold, waiting for nutritious meals and moments of connection, waiting for America to care. Due to a growing aging population, rising costs, and insufficient funding, Meals on Wheels programs are experiencing higher need than ever before. This wait is especially ridiculous because a proven solution already exists, as Meals on Wheels remains the most effective and financially responsible solution to address senior hunger and isolation. Answer the call and help end the wait by donating@mealsonwheelsamerica.org donate.
