Before the CMA Awards in Nashville, the Bobby Bones Show had a front-row seat to some unusual behind-the-scenes moments all thanks to interviews conducted by Lunchbox and Morgan. While the artists themselves were the focus, it was the personalities of the interviewers that made these clips stand out.
Bobby says Morgan’s interviews have a warmth that instantly puts artists at ease. She has a way of making them feel comfortable, encouraging open conversation, even if it sometimes ventures into unexpected territory. During her conversation with Russell Dickerson, she admitted she had bought his album at a record store, just so she could hear it on vinyl. The comment felt awkward at first, but she later clarified that it was a genuine expression of her admiration. Similarly, after interviewing Mitchell Tenpenny, Morgan couldn’t help but mention that he was her boyfriend’s favorite artist, small gestures, but ones that artists often appreciate hearing.
Lunchbox, on the other hand, brought a different energy. During his interview with Priscilla Block, the conversation took an odd but memorable turn. After greeting her with a hug, he complimented her scent, which sparked a tangent about showering habits — a topic far from the music at hand. While strange, it was clear both interviewer and artist were enjoying themselves, even if the discussion veered into unusual territory.
The interviews also highlighted Morgan’s knack for integrating artists into social media trends. She’s known for creating her own fun spins, such as finishing songs in playful ways or participating in trending challenges, ensuring the content stays fresh and entertaining. Even when other radio crews struggle to get artists involved in social media segments, Morgan’s energy made the experience engaging.
The show has posted all the interviews from the CMA Awards night on the Bobby Bones Show podcast. From awkward but genuine compliments to playful music challenges, these interviews offered fans a unique look at both the artists and the people interviewing them — personalities that make live events unpredictable and fun.
