Best Bits of the week with Morgan listener Q and A.
Here we are, We're back.
We're back for part three, listener Q and A. We're gonna start out with some shout outs. Marcy shout out you're her favorite on the show and love how you keep it real. What up?
Marcy shout out where you from?
She didn't tell me, Oh, Marcy, some of them don't. We we're still working through.
That, all right, Marcie. You're my favorite so far today.
And Eric says he loves when we team up. You're like a big brother to Morgan.
Thanks Eric, better than being her dad. Like she tells me, you.
Have dad jokes.
No, no, that's what my dad does. You remind me and my dad. Okay, cool, Thanks.
I love my dad. He's amazing.
I know, I know, but I'm like the same age as you. No, you're not, but I'm closer to your age in your dad's age.
That's fair.
But you you also have three kids, so it's just natural that you have dad energy.
Okay, thanks Eric.
Yeah, Nicole wants to know if you showed up to the Christmas party at the guy's house because we never like followed up on any of that. That all happened right as we went into break Uh.
Yeah, I showed up at that party.
It was was Rick in his underwear.
No, but Rick did tell me the underwear couch was upstairs. He doesn't sit on the downstairs couch in his underwear. He let me know that. I did not. But let me tell you, I did not sit on the couch because I was like, there's just there's no way he doesn't sit on that couch in his underwear. It was. It was tough, man. It was a forty five minute drive in five o'clock traffic to get there, so that was a little frustrating. Then how do I say this politely? I was there for about twenty five minutes and then I bounced.
Yeah, and you got a little gift too.
Yeah, I got a bag of coal because they said, oh you're not happy with this party, we got, you know, we got what do you call them gifts for everybody, and we got lunchbox a special gift and it was a bag of coal. So I thought they were so funny, so funny. But yeah, I showed up. The funniest part of the party though, was like the boss Boss, the boss Boss, I mean, boss of all Bosses was there. Yeah, and you're standing in the living room and Ray walks out of the kitchen because, hey, Julie, you can't take the trash house getting kind of fall in there.
You can't take us anywhere?
Man, How did she respond? I remember you telling me about this, But how do you respond?
She just laughed and she was like a Ray.
She's probably like, what am I supposed to do with that?
It was like, well in the email said she was co hosting, so so funny.
You literally can't take it anywhere.
Oh that is so funny, so funny. I laughed so hard at that joke. But yeah, So I was there for about twenty five minutes and that was it.
Drove all that way just to stay for twenty five minutes.
Well, no, I was gonna be there for an hour, but it took so long to get there. I was like, all right, I'm out.
You get some free food and drinks. No, not really, you have some drinks. That's how you have a drink.
Okay, yeah, I drink. But that was it.
Okay, all right, Well, Vanessa from Texas would liked us to talk about if you will ever run another marathon?
Oh, let me see that was way back when. I mean, I went out, If you guys don't know this story, your boy here, that's me two thousands pointing myself. It was back in when we were on in Austin and there was the the marathon, the whatever, I don't know what marathon, Austin Marathon, whatever, and I went down to mile twenty four. I started trash talking the marathon runners because some of them were walking, some were talking, they weren't running very hard, and I was telling them they should just quit because they didn't make it, and how it's run a marathon, not walk a marathon. If you've got energy to talk, you got energy to run, pick up the pace. Blah blah blah ah. This just dogging them. And we played the clips on air on a Tuesday and Bobby said, do you think you can run a marathon? Yeah, no problem, man, I can run a marathon, no problem. And I thought he meant like trained for a marathon, and he's like, all right, you'll run a marathon Friday. I was like, oh okay, And I was like, you know not, Eve, not only can I run a marathon, I'll run an extra mile just to show you it's not that hard. And he was like, you're an idiot. And everybody called in and told me I was an idiot and I'm a loser, and they hated me, and they you're so stupid. And so that Friday morning I went out and I ran a marathon plus a mile. And do I plan to run another marathon? I had never planned to run a marathon in my life. I never thought I would run a marathon. It didn't appeal to me to run a marathon. I never thought i'd do it, and I probably never do it again. I'd been there, done that, got the medal. Why do I need to do it again? And so no, probably never going to run a marathon again.
But you do still like to run, Still like to run? How much when you go running, like for your exercise, Like how many miles do you run?
Then?
Right now I'm running like three three and a half, Like I'm a little bit behind the where I need to be up at like five and a half. But I got to get back there. This last year has been hard. It just gets harder with three kids, Like it gets harder to get those five and a half miles six mile runs in because the time you got to do it is very if you don't do it at the exact moment, like, it's you lost your opportunity. You get one shot, one opportunity. Oops, there goes gravity back to reality these week vomit. It's on a sweat already. Yeah, so I'm trying to get back there.
Okay, yeah, okay, So no, no marathons planned for a loss.
Oh no, no, are you gonna run a marathon? No?
I don't like running.
Okay, I like, I can barely last one mile, and I'm like, okay, cool, that's.
Great, But you can. Here's the thing. You could last longer than a mile.
Oh I'm sure I could. Yes, I don't want to, Okay.
I like lifting weights and doing other exercises. Running it's not my calling.
Yeah, everybody like, if you don't think you can do it, you can do it. That's the thing. You just got to get out there and do it.
Yeah, but I feel like I'm going to die do it.
Yeah, you feel like you're gonna die. But guess what, you really can keep going. You won't die. It's all mental it is.
But listen that run. Like I get so bored, so bored.
Oh see, I don't. I love looking at everything around me and I don't wear headphones. I don't.
This also blows my mind because I really get bored, especially if I didn't have music. No.
I start thinking about it and I'm like, oh man, there's that. Oh that's cool. Yeah.
So you can a gym and work out without headphones.
Yeah, oh my gosh, if my headphones are dead, like I turn, I ain't.
Going to the gym. Interesting, I cannot work out without music.
Yeah, I don't ever, and I wouldn't even know what you listen to.
Oh it's pretty hardcore.
Like I never had music in my ears when I've work and done anything.
So I'm like, oh whatever, ever, gosh is wild?
Yeah, crazy, I know, crazy like that. But I'll be running by Madhouse is ugly. Oh that's a cool true you know, like just like just things like that.
You're like a human zillow.
Yeah. I started like looking at things. I'm like, oh man, there's a lot of traffic on that road. Oh, just stupid things.
Okay, we'll be right back. We guys, some more questions.
Stephanie wants to know what your life is like at home, like do you split duties with your wife? Are you a strict dad? She wants to know the box family household.
Oh am I a strict dad.
No chance, like your kid's gonna be sneaking out and they're older and you're like, yeah, whatever.
Yeah I don't and probably they won't probably have to sneak out because like with me, I didn't have to sneak out my parents. Here's here's what's crazy. My parents would fall asleep on the couch and you could just walk out the front door, so it wasn't really sneaking out.
And they didn't care when you got back, not really because you ever get grounded.
Oh, every once in a while, but I mean for like a day. But then they were just like, all right, whatever, Like uh.
So you planned to parent a similar way with your children.
Yes, because and here's the thing. My mom like she would be like we'd go I'd go out in high school, and my mom was stayed up, like she stayed up late, so she'd stay up till like two in the morning, and she'd just be like, I'd come home and she'd be vacuuming the living room. Oh yeah, my dad can sleep. I'm telling you, my dad was asleep on the couch one time. Let me tell you this is when I was like ten and we were gonna go toile the paper and that high night, so we're gonna sneak out. But we were like, oh my gosh, my dad's on the couch. I want to do this, and we're right, Dad, Dad, you gotta know, you know, uh, you gotta go upstairs, like you gotta it's uh, you know, you gotta go upstairs.
Like hey, someone get their helmets. Your turn to bat what I'm like, Dad, Okay, got the helmet. He was like, all right, now I'm gonna go to sleep. What in the world you talk like? He was already you know what I mean?
Like it was weird. He must have been dreaming, and all right, screw it. So he just went out the front door, okay, And so no big deal and it didn't matter. Like they didn't bust us. They didn't care. I mean, I assume they knew. I don't know. Maybe they didn't know, and they just slept through it. And we came home, went to bed, and they didn't have any idea we ever left. I have no idea. There was one time Aaron Forrest Will spending the night and we were gonna go paper Matthew Charlton's house and he lived in a different neighbor and so we needed a ride. So we Aaron's uncle Sidney was going to pick us up and drive us over there, and we for some reason this time, we decided to climb out the front window, which made so much more noise than just walking out the damn door. And we get in Sydney's car. He drives us over there, he drops us off. It's a neighborhood we didn't know. So then we can't find Matthew's house and we're like, oh my gosh, we don't know where. So we just start walking and I saying, you know, We're like, we have no idea where we are, right, no idea, So we just toilet paper a random house, a random house, and.
These probably walk up like what did we do to somebody?
Oh for sure, because we the rule of when we went toilet paper one was minimum hundred rolls, minimum hundred rolls.
There's probably some poor, nice old lady and probably I didn't deserve this.
And so then the only problem is we're supposed to meet Sydney back in a certain spot. Here's the problem. We didn't know the neighborhood. We were completely lost and we're just walking, no idea how to get back to where we were. I mean, the sun is starting to come up, and finally Sydney comes driving by. I mean we have no idea where we because we didn't have cell phones. I don't know how we found them.
And we get any try searching for you guys everywhere, Like where the heck did these everywhere?
Because it was like two and a half hours we were out there. At least we walked in the miles trouble or taken miles. And here's the and here's another thing is there was a curfew in Austin, so you couldn't be out certain past a certain time. So any car that would come, we'd have to hide because if it's a cop, you get in drove for curfew. And so then we hide in the.
City wide curfew. Yeah for like underage search. Yeah, got it.
And it was just like so then we'd hide and then when we saw Sidney we had to run out of ride. I mean it was crazy, but so I don't really I'm not very strict.
I want my kids.
I want my kids that fun, I want them to explore, I want them to be adventurous. I want them to go out there and do things. So like we go walk and there's tractors. Like if there's a construction site, we climb on the tractors. We get in the tractors. We honk the horn on the tractor. Uh.
We climb a tegal things we go.
We climb dirt mountains. If they're building a house, we go walk through the house, like we go exploring. It's not I don't know if that's illegal.
Yeah, you're like little squatters, but we.
We go explore. We climb up the you know, like if they have the frame of the house up and you can just walk in. There's no walls or anything, so just walk. Yeah.
So your kids are going to be married one day and they're gonna be like looking back talking stories about their children, and their.
Wives are gonna be like what the heck.
Oh yeah. Like if someone has a swing in their front yard and a tree, we swing in it, like yeah wow, because we look at my my dad looked at it's like, oh, like they wouldn't put it in the front yard if they don't want people to use it. And that's kind of I feel like that's the same thing. Like if there's a swing there, why would they not want a kid to use it?
That's fair? Okay, So no, I'm not Do you split duties with your wife? You avoided that question.
Yeah, I take the trash out.
Okay, that is all. That's all you do.
Well, what else is there to do?
Oh? Boy?
Okay Jenn in Clarksville would like but my doing.
But but so I wouldn't say I'm strict. It's not like, oh my gosh, they have to be in bed at seven thirty or it's the end of the world. It's like, we tried in bed at eight. Sometimes we get him in bed at seven thirty. Sometimes we get him in bed at nine to fifteen. Ah. Cool, like not worried about it.
Okay, Well, I'm glad to know you're not a strict dad. Sounds like your fun dad.
We love that.
Yeah. I don't get mad if they climb on the couch. Who cares if they jump on the couch.
They are living as you said, you want your house to be lived in.
Yes, all right.
Jenn clark So wants to know how your dog is doing.
Ah, my dog is still coughing and still hacking. I've been to three different vets. I've spent too much money, not too much money, but a pretty penny on trying to figure it out. Every vet they take X rays and then they send him off to a radiologist or something like that, and they say, oh, it's just you know, it looks like it's an irritation, and they give them steroids and they give antibiotics and nothing has worked. So we are now on another antibiotic that's supposed to be stronger. We're going to do a longer dose see if that helps. If not, then they'll do a wash where they had to put him under anesthetics anesthesia, anesthetics, I don't know what it's called. And they'll put some water into his lungs and then suck the water out, see if there's like a bacteria in there that's irritating him. If that doesn't work, if there's nothing there, I guess If that isn't it, then it's probably a tumor and they would send a camera down and check. But I mean, so, yeah, my dog is still hacking and coughing, and it's been almost two months and it's miserable and it's terrible and it sucks. But he's still in a good mood.
Is he still eating hanging out for you?
Oh? Yeah, he still eats, he still hangs. He's still like if you get the LEAs shout. He still wants to go for a walk. But I've been scared to take him on walks because I'm like, oh, is that gonna be bad for the cough? Is that gonna get him worked up where he's gonna cough more? And but he doesn't like cough up anything. It's just like that, but he doesn't. There's nothing that comes out. So I don't know.
Well, I hope gets better quickly.
I do too, because it's not fun.
Yeah.
So, I mean sometimes he hacking in the middle of the night. It wakes me up, and I'm like, have it any other way though, I'm like, poor guy man, like he can sleep, but he's still chilling, he's still loving.
Hopefully this last beet gets you some answer, yeah, and something starts working to help him.
Yep, I agree, thinking to Waldo, I.
Mean, it's just been crazy. I've never it's just out of nowhere. Yeah, So I wasn't that cough that you know, it was taking over America and one kennel cough Because he's never been handed into a kennel. So I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but I'm been.
So excited to have you all home for Christmas.
Oh yeah, well he goes with us on Christmas, I know, but.
Like this one, like excited to not have to travel.
And he did enjoy it, and he loved and he loves all the attention while everybody else, you know, there's strangers in the house. He's like, oh, pet me, I never get petted. Pet me, I never get petted. And so yeah, and what he does like going to pick up like sometimes I go, I'll take him with me to go pick up the kids from school, and freaking he loves that. And some days the kids love it. And some day they're like, Dad, why did you bring Waldo his breast stings? And then next day, Dad, how come you didn't bring Waldo. I'm like, Okay, you can't win with these kids.
Kid's got a lot of opinions.
A lot of opinions.
Okay, we got two more questions.
Man's that's that's not a lot of questions.
It's because I gotta wrap you know, I gotta keep it short for you.
I got you.
Okay, we'll be right back.
I know I'm going to mispronounce this name, but it's spelled m A z z eight in Mazon Mason, Mazon Mazon Mason.
I don't know, Amazing Blue.
They like to know the weirdest place. We've been recognized.
At the weirdest place.
Yeah, just like a kind of weird funny story, I guess.
I mean, the urinal is always weird.
I recognized that a urinal.
Yeah, I've been recognizing a urinol. But the weirdest place probably I was in Puerto Rico and I was doing like a looking at a castle or a bat or whatever the heck they call it a fort, I don't know, one of those things. And I'm walking into this little room in the fort and another lady's walking out and she's like, hey, lunchbox, how's it going moon And she kept on walking in Puerto Rico, So that was really weird and random.
Yeah, that is a random one dit country.
Yeah, that was very It was very strange. It was just like whoa, hey, how's it going? So I would say that's probably maybe the weirdest place. I mean, the doctor's office is always weird, like when you go to urgent care or something, they start taking your vitals, They're like, I know who you are, and I'm my app that's me.
Like, can you have at least waited through the appointment?
Yeah?
Can you wait? That's just strange.
So yeah, then you're just sitting there and you're stuck. You're like, well, yeah, this is what it is.
Yep, that's what it is. All right, cool guys, thank you. Hey, nice meeting you. All right. Uh, you can look at my hippo low you know, I mean you're not supposed to share that with me, but yeah, that's pretty I mean anything in everywhere, you get recognized all the time, so it's just like it happens.
I did get recognized when we were on like a hike and Yellowstone.
That was crazy.
That's cool.
Somebody like they didn't. But it was funny though, because it didn't happen in person. Like we were walking and I saw somebody kind of look at me and we kind of smiled at each other. But then I got a message on Instagram shortly after.
I was like, I knew that was you. Yeah, it's like, yeah, that was me.
And then there was one when we were in Midtown that was funny.
I was just walking with a group of friends.
We went to brunch and there was people on the other side of the street, like walking the other direction, and I just hear Morgan and they just yell and then we just move on with our lives.
And I was like that, I don't really know what to do with that.
But Hi, Yeah, I got recommend outside of Wrigley Field. Me and my cousin were there a couple years ago and we were going to take a picture in front of Wrigley Field and We're standing there in this like goes lunch box. You want me to take your picture for you? And I'm like, yeah, that'd be great. Like I mean, I hadn't asked anybody. We were just there like we were just like, man, we should get a picture. And we were standing there for like two seconds as like recognize us, and I was like, yeah, we do that for us things, that'd be great. So yeah, it's just random spots, like it's weird.
How that awesome all at the same time.
I mean, Uber Driver in Las Vegas, but.
I mean that one was funny. We were in that together, yeah, and he.
Was like freaking out and I was like, what up? And then you never posted the video. So cool, that's all right? Oh yeah I still have Yeah, yeah, So, I mean I'm glad to post one of them. I mean we went all over Las Vegas doing her food work old and I.
Mean, hey, I did post one of them.
Don't say I didn't post one of them.
Which one?
The bagel one?
The bagel one by the donut one hasn't made it yet. I mean I'm still waiting for it has only been let me see, five months. No, it's been September, October, November, December, middle of January, four and a half months.
You're right, sorry, I'll post it at some point.
Yeah, Okay, Beth wants to know if I would like, Beth, this is our last question, if I would let you set me up with people? And listen, I tried that. We tried that, and he tried to set me up with somebody who has a girlfriend.
So no, no longer does he get that priviletion.
Hot Rodney, Yeah, hot Rodney has a girlfriend, a very serious girlfriend of that.
Hey, you never know, no, you do know. No, you don't know I have a girlfriend, because just because you have a girlfriend doesn't mean you're happy. Oh my god, right, maybe.
Lunch box can't send me up here.
No, maybe he was looking for a sign that it was supposed to end, and you were going to be his sign. You always have to offer you. I always had to throw it out there because you never know. People act like they're happy, but they're not really happy, and they're like, you know what, I would like to get out of this relationship.
So I don't want to be somebody's reason to get out of a relationship anywhere.
No, maybe that puts the light in that's maybe that's the light that needs to go on there, Like yeah, okay, you're right, like this isn't working.
The logic behind this blows my mind. But got no, so I didn't.
And James, I can't hook you up with James because he just got engaged. Oh my gosh, well no, James is.
Why would you thought James was an option if he was close to getting engaged.
No, No, this was before he got a girlfriend, and I didn't.
Know what was like a here go, well you never said anything about it, right, But.
I thought about James. But then he'd been dating someone and then he just got engaged recently on Black Friday, I think it was. And so he's getting married so I can't hook you up with him.
Man, you're crushing it over there.
Nick from the post Office. No, you can't do that one.
Who is so? Yes? Bath answer is no. You see what I'm working with here?
