Speaker 1: It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two.
Speaker 1: What's up, y'all? Welcome to the Best Bits of the Week.
Speaker 1: I'm Morgan. In case you're joining for the first time,
Speaker 1: this is where I break down the Bobby Bones show
Speaker 1: from this week. I share the top seven engaged with segments,
Speaker 1: and on part one I will bring on another show member.
Speaker 1: We talk about some fun things, and this weekend it's
Speaker 1: Mike d Hey, how's it going. It's good. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling about this week? You seem to come in
Speaker 1: here with a high. I have a lot of energy
Speaker 1: this week. I've had a lot of fun things happened
Speaker 1: in my life and really like the last week, and
Speaker 1: I was even thinking before doing this, like I think
Speaker 1: I'm the happiest I've ever been. Wow. Okay, this is big. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold that for a little bit later. Sorry,
Speaker 1: y'all are getting teached just to wait a little bit
Speaker 1: in the podcast because we got lots of things to
Speaker 1: talk about. But I want to hear all about this, Okay,
Speaker 1: So hold that. Keep that there. We're gonna start off, though,
Speaker 1: I got some random questions as y'all loved to engage
Speaker 1: with this segment online. You guys heard about my kind
Speaker 1: of strange aspect of my wake up routine that I
Speaker 1: have that my dad still calls me every morning to
Speaker 1: help listen. I got lots of anxiety and fear about
Speaker 1: not making the show's really what it is, And I
Speaker 1: bet Mike probably can know where some of that anxiety
Speaker 1: comes from as well. Yeah, I'm with you with having
Speaker 1: the multiple alarms, I also have the one fallback of
Speaker 1: a couple of times Ray Mundo has called me, well, okay,
Speaker 1: because I get here early before anybody else too, but
Speaker 1: Ray's always here before me. And if there's a certain
Speaker 1: time I come in, and if I'm not in by
Speaker 1: that time, I'll get a call from Ray like hey man,
Speaker 1: coming in, I'm like, yes, I am on my way.
Speaker 1: Because sometimes I'll sleep through all those alarms still and
Speaker 1: it's that thing of like you fear it happening. And
Speaker 1: sometimes on the weekends, I'll wake up thinking I'm wait
Speaker 1: for work and it's it's Saturday. Isn't that terrifying. It's
Speaker 1: the worst feeling. It's also the worst feeling when you
Speaker 1: do actually it's leaked through an alarm. Yes, it is
Speaker 1: the worst feeling in the world, even like the other
Speaker 1: day it was a weekend and my wife woke me up,
Speaker 1: like are you not going in today? And I've freaked out.
Speaker 1: I started to get him and get ready, like it's
Speaker 1: it's Saturday, Like I shouldn't be getting up right now. See, Okay,
Speaker 1: So my anxiety has proven it's fair. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of us have it on the show. We just
Speaker 1: want to make sure we're not missing the show because
Speaker 1: the time we wake up, it's really early, and you
Speaker 1: could sleep just like a normal human, and you would
Speaker 1: miss so much of our job. That's a hard part.
Speaker 1: We're not programmed to wake up that early. Yes, and
Speaker 1: if you don't make it in on time, you get
Speaker 1: sent home. And there is nothing more defeating than being
Speaker 1: sent home. That's just like the worst feeling in the world.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, my anxiety is like, yeah, that's never
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'll check my alarms fifty times to make
Speaker 1: sure they're even set in the first place, and then
Speaker 1: I'll set fifty alarms to make sure that they're all
Speaker 1: going off. So you're making me feel better but also
Speaker 1: hilarious that Ray is calling you. Yeah, how often do
Speaker 1: you think that happens? Like, in this year, how many
Speaker 1: times the entire time I've worked here. I started in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, It's only happened twice. Okay, where I've gotten
Speaker 1: a call from Ray and it's because you weren't hearing.
Speaker 1: He was a little confused because I'm always here at
Speaker 1: the same time every day, so he knows if I'm
Speaker 1: not here, I'm probably oversleeping and he'll check on me.
Speaker 1: I love that. That's amazing, and now I feel a
Speaker 1: lot better. Glad I'm not the only one. I know.
Speaker 1: I still have a weird part of my wake up routine,
Speaker 1: but I'm really glad I'm not the only one that
Speaker 1: has the anxiety because that's where it's coming from exactly.
Speaker 1: So okay, I do have more fun like random questions.
Speaker 1: So Okay, this is kind of morbid. I'm just putting
Speaker 1: it out there. But if you only had one day
Speaker 1: to live on Earth, what would you spend your day doing.
Speaker 1: I've actually thought about this recently. You know, my favorite
Speaker 1: day of the week has become Sundays. I think it's
Speaker 1: the one day where, like my wife and I get
Speaker 1: to spend the most quality time, and it's the most
Speaker 1: children relax and I think if I had one day left,
Speaker 1: I would just have a normal Sunday. Okay, And what
Speaker 1: does a normal Sunday. A normal Sunday, I usually wake
Speaker 1: up normal time, maybe like seven am. I go for
Speaker 1: my long run, and that is kind of like my
Speaker 1: meditation time for the week is where I clear my
Speaker 1: head if the world's about it, and I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: a clear head, So I go on that for one
Speaker 1: last time. I come back. I have my coffee, I
Speaker 1: have breakfast. My wife and I go and get smoothie
Speaker 1: balls and then we just hang out, watch movies, watch TV,
Speaker 1: and then we get dinner at night and just a
Speaker 1: very laid back, chill day. That's my perfect day. So
Speaker 1: I think if I had one day left, I would
Speaker 1: just want one more of those. All Right, Well, now
Speaker 1: you're making me all sentimental about a special Sunday, and
Speaker 1: I'll share mine here a little bit. But this is
Speaker 1: spinning me into another question because my boyfriend and I
Speaker 1: have the constant debate. He's one of those people that
Speaker 1: loves to get maybe like a few things done, but
Speaker 1: then it's been the whole day on Sunday relaxing, whereas
Speaker 1: I use my Sundays to get everything done that I
Speaker 1: have not gotten done in the week and to prepare
Speaker 1: for the next week. Okay, So do you guys have
Speaker 1: that dilemma or which side do you fall on on
Speaker 1: the coin? Is it a relaxing Sunday or productive Sunday?
Speaker 1: I'd say a little bit productive, like afternoon. If we
Speaker 1: have to do anything, we do it in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: We still take that slow morning, and if we have
Speaker 1: to go out run some errands, we do in the afternoon.
Speaker 1: But pretty chill all the way around. Okay, So you're
Speaker 1: going for the relax Sunday. Yeah, Like I have to
Speaker 1: do work stuff to get prepared for that Monday, but
Speaker 1: I try to fit all that in in the morning
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, so later in the day it's like
Speaker 1: relax time chilling. Okay, Well, hey, you follow my boyfriend's side.
Speaker 1: I do think more people do that. I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I just have always spent my Sundays like, okay, here's
Speaker 1: my time because I want to. Saturday's truly kind of
Speaker 1: the only day that I really have off. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, we get ready for the show
Speaker 1: for Monday, so like Sunday, I'm working, So Saturday is
Speaker 1: my day to do all my fun stuff. Yeah, and enjoy,
Speaker 1: even if that means relaxing or doing nothing. So then
Speaker 1: when Sunday rolls around, I'm like, Okay, I gotta work
Speaker 1: a little bit to get stuff done here and there,
Speaker 1: wash the carmo, the yard, do all the things that
Speaker 1: I have to do kind of thing. But every time
Speaker 1: my boyfriend is like, we really have to do this
Speaker 1: on Sundays. That's to be thing on Sundays. See, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I used to do that, but I just
Speaker 1: load everything up on Friday now because I used to
Speaker 1: take Friday. It's like, oh, it's the weekend. But if
Speaker 1: I can get some more of that stuff done on Friday,
Speaker 1: like a Friday afternoon, even earlier in the day, to
Speaker 1: give me that Sunday and that Saturday to do less,
Speaker 1: I think that's better for you mentally. Okay, so you're
Speaker 1: saying I need to change up my routine a little bit. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I try to do as much during the week as
Speaker 1: possible to give me those two days to reset. I think,
Speaker 1: what the kind of job we have, I think that's
Speaker 1: important for you. Okay, Well, you're convincing me I need
Speaker 1: to change it up a little bit. I got to
Speaker 1: break a bad habit. Now those Sundays are meant to
Speaker 1: be productive for me, so but I love that. Okay,
Speaker 1: your team relaxing. I'd love to know what you guys
Speaker 1: are too, so hit me up your team relaxing or
Speaker 1: team productive? Those are the two teams there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: if I were to spend like the last day on Earth,
Speaker 1: funny that you say relaxing again, you do. You're getting
Speaker 1: really good at this relaxing thing, Mike, I think mine
Speaker 1: would be too. I love traveling and I love seeing
Speaker 1: things that have never seen before. So I think I
Speaker 1: would take my friends and family and of course my
Speaker 1: dog Remmy because I cannot spend the last my day
Speaker 1: without her, and go and fly to a really cool
Speaker 1: place and eat and drink all my favorite foods and
Speaker 1: see a place that I've never seen before, and then
Speaker 1: I die happy. That's a fun way last day. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know saying that I got to travel,
Speaker 1: so it's gotta be somewhere close. Yeah, the travel part
Speaker 1: is hard because you spend a little bit of it
Speaker 1: in the air or driving, But hey, I got to
Speaker 1: see something really cool. If it's the last thing my
Speaker 1: eyes are going to see, maybe we need some like
Speaker 1: cool Utah or like somewhere in the States, you know relative.
Speaker 1: We can get there within a few hours, and that's
Speaker 1: just where I where I die. I like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so similar. I still want to be with my friends
Speaker 1: and family and my dog, good food, all my things
Speaker 1: that I love, but like just different scenery from yours.
Speaker 1: See something new before I'm about to not see anything ever.
Speaker 1: Also another random question. Circle Network and else they have
Speaker 1: a new show called Inside the Base where basically, like
Speaker 1: country artists go inside a military base and they live
Speaker 1: a day in the life of a military person. If
Speaker 1: you had to live the life of another job for
Speaker 1: a day, what's one you'd be interested in doing? Oh,
Speaker 1: another job? I have like a weird fascination with the ocean,
Speaker 1: So I would like to live the life of a
Speaker 1: scuba diver for a day and explore the ocean. There's
Speaker 1: just something like about exploring something that we've only seen
Speaker 1: like a very small fraction of that. I would like
Speaker 1: to go down there and see that. Do you ever
Speaker 1: get in a deep hole? On TikTok there's those videos
Speaker 1: where they show like the lowest submarines and what's actually
Speaker 1: in the deep blue ocean? Yeah, like how far you
Speaker 1: can go down and all these weird fish that you
Speaker 1: can see here and look like prehistoric creatures. That's fascinating
Speaker 1: to me. You're not scared of like what's under there? No,
Speaker 1: I would like to find out what's under there. But
Speaker 1: if you found like the Last City, that would be
Speaker 1: amazing and it make a movie about it. You've become
Speaker 1: part of that, Okay. So scuba diving and checking out
Speaker 1: and exploring the world. Yeah, as far as in deep
Speaker 1: sea diving, there was I had saw on TikTok they
Speaker 1: had taken the submarine the lowest it's ever possibly gone
Speaker 1: and hit like the deepest part of the ocean floor
Speaker 1: that exists. Yeah, a certain parts you can get to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: whatever this one was, it was like a life changing
Speaker 1: submarine event that happened. It popped up on my TikTok
Speaker 1: and they showed like some of the creatures that they saw,
Speaker 1: and it was some Jurassic World stuff, Like, I'm porture
Speaker 1: those animals have been around for over than most of us.
Speaker 1: There's no telling how long they've been down there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, and you also don't like we don't know
Speaker 1: anything about them, so we don't know how old they are,
Speaker 1: how their species is. It is fascinating, So I'll give
Speaker 1: you that. But scuba diving is also terrifying because you
Speaker 1: gotta have all the equipment on. You got a train
Speaker 1: for all of that. Do you feel like you could
Speaker 1: train and do all the swimming and everything needed. I
Speaker 1: think so. I think I would be good at that.
Speaker 1: I've never been, but I would like to go somebody,
Speaker 1: And you do train really hard at running, so you
Speaker 1: just kind of have to shift your energy into scuba diving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if it has any kind of endurance factor, I think
Speaker 1: I'm good on that end. Have you ever gone snork
Speaker 1: lan before? No? Never? Okay, snork Lan's like the top
Speaker 1: one because you just kind of stay above the water
Speaker 1: and you check everything out and you breathe out a
Speaker 1: little snorkel hole. Yeah, but scuba diving is like taking
Speaker 1: that like twenty steps further. So maybe Neal start with
Speaker 1: snark lane first. Maybe I'm just overcomfident because I watch
Speaker 1: a lot of like nat Geos shows and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that looks easy. Okay, yeah, that's what's happening here. Are
Speaker 1: you the one that's watching Shark Week? Like my dad?
Speaker 1: I do watch that it's great. It's his favorite time
Speaker 1: of the whole year. He'll be like Shark weeks on
Speaker 1: and we'll send him all the Shark means, we'll get
Speaker 1: him like shark cookies and it's like his favorite. He
Speaker 1: has like Shark week t shirts like his thing. That's
Speaker 1: that's a peek into what your life is going to
Speaker 1: look like. Yeah, that's gonna be okay. Well, so I
Speaker 1: have even more random questions, but these are going to
Speaker 1: be space addition, because coming in at number six, we
Speaker 1: had William Shatner on the show and he was talking
Speaker 1: about going to space in real life and it was
Speaker 1: just totally a chaotic interview all the way around, but
Speaker 1: so funny. If you haven't listened to it, it's going
Speaker 1: to be on The Best Bits Part two, or you
Speaker 1: can go watch it at Bobbybones dot com. But him
Speaker 1: talking about space has made me come up with these
Speaker 1: questions that I need to know space off Earth alien
Speaker 1: type addition of random questions, if given the chance, would
Speaker 1: you go to space? I think whenever we had a
Speaker 1: bit on the show of selecting someone to go to
Speaker 1: space in a drawing, I think you and I were
Speaker 1: the one. You don't have to put us on a wheel.
Speaker 1: We want to go yep. I would love to see
Speaker 1: what the Earth looks like from up above. I watch
Speaker 1: a lot of space movies, kind of how I am
Speaker 1: with the Nagio stuff, and in my head, someday I
Speaker 1: will go to space, like I just have that dream
Speaker 1: of doing that, either by paying by force or by
Speaker 1: But somehow I think later in life it'll become more
Speaker 1: affordable and it'll just be like taking a trip somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably maybe next thirty years or so
Speaker 1: of just how often people are going now, and they're
Speaker 1: really just kind of scratching the surface as far as
Speaker 1: how long they go. I mean, they're like seven eleven
Speaker 1: minute trips. But I think in our lifetime we'll have
Speaker 1: like real space tourism, and I want to go. I
Speaker 1: would go to space. I would go to Mars, even
Speaker 1: though that's really far. I'd go to the Moon, I'd
Speaker 1: go anywhere, you like, I just want to go see
Speaker 1: the outer space. Yeah. I just can't imagine in my
Speaker 1: life if that opportunity in that technology existed for me
Speaker 1: not to go fare. Okay, so how much would you
Speaker 1: pay to be able to go? What's like the most
Speaker 1: you would pay. See that's what I'm saying, like the
Speaker 1: next thirty years, because right now it's super expendient, like
Speaker 1: but like most you're like, okay, I could like I
Speaker 1: could make this worth it if I paid this much,
Speaker 1: I would say, once it gets to the price range
Speaker 1: of what like a like an overseas flight would be
Speaker 1: now okay, so it has to get in my fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred to three thousand rates. Once it gets to that
Speaker 1: price level, then I'm in okay. Or you're going to
Speaker 1: be the hundred year old man that goes to space
Speaker 1: for the first time or yeah, or that if if
Speaker 1: we're not at the cheap version of space travel yet, yes,
Speaker 1: that that would be me. I'm with you. I think
Speaker 1: I think my max would be like five thousand, and
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Okay, that's worth it. If I go
Speaker 1: past that, I'm like, I don't want I don't have
Speaker 1: that money into I don't know if it's worth it
Speaker 1: for me to drop it to go to space. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it depends, like if it's at eleven minutes, yeah, like
Speaker 1: I'm not paying that much. Every can you go like
Speaker 1: circle me around the moon and come back, Like I
Speaker 1: want to go on a mission for like that amount
Speaker 1: of money. Yeah, no, one hundred person. Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: just I was seeing where our levels where maybe somebody's listening,
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe you pay the fifteen hundred and
Speaker 1: somebody else covers arrest. Yeah. Yeah, throwing it out there,
Speaker 1: taking it a step further. Would you become friends with
Speaker 1: an extra terrestrial alien? And he goes the same thing,
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to emphasize that's the kind of
Speaker 1: alien I'm talking about. Okay, I think I believe in aliens,
Speaker 1: Like I just think there are so many things happening
Speaker 1: and I just believe in him. So would I be
Speaker 1: friends of them? I'm with you. I am one hundred
Speaker 1: percent with you. If somebody walked up to me today
Speaker 1: and said I am from Mars, I say that's really cool.
Speaker 1: Can you tell me about it? Yeah? And I would
Speaker 1: be like, this is awesome. We would start a podcast together. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why why. I guess there's a fear
Speaker 1: and people are innately fearful of things. But I'm with
Speaker 1: you so far. We're on the same wavelength. Yeah, Mike,
Speaker 1: maybe we're on a different space. Would you live on
Speaker 1: Mars for six months? Six months is a long time.
Speaker 1: That's six months. I know you said you'd go to Mars,
Speaker 1: but would you mean by myself for six months? You
Speaker 1: live on Mars for six months. Maybe you're with some
Speaker 1: other people, but not like your family or anything, and
Speaker 1: just you went up on just like the movie with
Speaker 1: the Martian, Yes, where he's there and he lives up there.
Speaker 1: You know, Matt Damon did pretty well and movie of
Speaker 1: just existing on Mars by himself. He was also very smart.
Speaker 1: But I think I would if it's similar to how
Speaker 1: it was depicted in that movie. It seems like it'd
Speaker 1: be a pretty cool place to explore, So I think
Speaker 1: I'd be in for it. Okay, six months is a
Speaker 1: long time, though it is it doesn't seem much in
Speaker 1: the green scheme of things, and you're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: have a whole life, six months is nothing. But then
Speaker 1: you're like, well, six months it's a long time if
Speaker 1: I got to be away from people that I love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: half a year is that takes a while. It does,
Speaker 1: but you know, probably like half of that would be traveling,
Speaker 1: so you'd probably be up there for like three months.
Speaker 1: But it's true noting if if that's the waste based
Speaker 1: travel works at that point, I'm not sure. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: would you be a test subject for a portal for
Speaker 1: traveling to another planet so like a time travel like
Speaker 1: just like not time travel, but like if you've probably
Speaker 1: seen them in Superhero movies where they're a portal and
Speaker 1: you jump through and you're basically on another planet, just
Speaker 1: a straight up. But you're a test you're a test person.
Speaker 1: They haven't tested it out yet. You're like one of
Speaker 1: a hundred. Have they tested it on any living thing
Speaker 1: like a lab rat? I haven't gotten that far. I
Speaker 1: don't think I could do that one because I think
Speaker 1: that's such crazy technology. You go in and if there's
Speaker 1: even the smart smallest thing that goes wrong, you end
Speaker 1: up nowhere. You're gone. They can't get you back. On
Speaker 1: the other side, I don't think I can go first
Speaker 1: on something like that. Well, so the reason that they
Speaker 1: have it on like super Girl, but they also so
Speaker 1: Agents of Shield, which is like the one really massive
Speaker 1: Marvel TV show that lasted for several seasons. In one
Speaker 1: of those seasons spoiler if you haven't watched it, I
Speaker 1: mean this thing's but not for like fifteen years. But
Speaker 1: they have a monolith and basically it like transforms every
Speaker 1: so often, every time it does anything in its path
Speaker 1: would get sucked up into it. And on the other
Speaker 1: side of that monolith is another planet. And like the
Speaker 1: bad guys were using it to explores I used traveling
Speaker 1: all these things and sending people from NASA, and it
Speaker 1: was this whole like season that I was like, what
Speaker 1: if this was real? Well, if there was an actual
Speaker 1: portal that like sucked you up and you're placed on
Speaker 1: another planet. You know nothing about that planet, but you
Speaker 1: know you're going through a portal. Yeah, is that wild?
Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, you just have to survive. You go
Speaker 1: to another planet. It's just like the you know, everything's
Speaker 1: not worked out quite yet, so you're not really sure
Speaker 1: which planet you're going to. Yeah, that's crazy. So but no,
Speaker 1: not for that one. Nah, I wouldn't be the test subject.
Speaker 1: I would use it later when somebody else figured it out,
Speaker 1: because it would I mean, imagine the problems it would
Speaker 1: solve with travel. Yeah, you could just hop into a
Speaker 1: portal and be somewhere else. It would change everything. It
Speaker 1: would change the way like artists tour, like it could
Speaker 1: be in so many cities and like one day at
Speaker 1: a time we could go and be anywhere. Probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: be good for I was gonna say, I feel like
Speaker 1: it would change the security of our world. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of people wouldn't want that
Speaker 1: to happen for that reason. Or how many people make
Speaker 1: money off of travel. Yep, they're like, no, we can't
Speaker 1: do that. Oh you know, if if it becomes a thing,
Speaker 1: it's gonna get monetized. It ain't gonna be free. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be buying them and we're gonna be spending a
Speaker 1: lot of money, just like this Apple. There's gonna be
Speaker 1: a company out there that's gonna be like Apple, but
Speaker 1: for space travel we're all buying and doing yep. Every time.
Speaker 1: Oh well, those are those are those random questions. I
Speaker 1: got more to talk about, though, so we're just gonna
Speaker 1: keep moving. Those are of course. Lunchbox had his big
Speaker 1: old grand ole acting debut kind of kind of Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was always saying that and writing that on those
Speaker 1: social media and then he talked about I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't really know what to call this, but it's
Speaker 1: something of a debut. Yeah, because I think to be
Speaker 1: acting you have to have a line. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: are gonna find out when you listen to the segment again,
Speaker 1: or if you've already caught it that well, things did
Speaker 1: not go as planned when he got down to Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna leave it there. You can go
Speaker 1: check that out. I want to know some exciting things
Speaker 1: happening in your life, because you came in here with
Speaker 1: a high. You're like, I feel so good, I'm so
Speaker 1: happy right now. Tell me what's going on. I've just
Speaker 1: had a lot of my recent childhood dreams come to fruition.
Speaker 1: Earlier this week, one of my favorite bands of all
Speaker 1: time announced they were getting back together with one of
Speaker 1: their original members and it's Blink one eighty two Yes,
Speaker 1: And they announced they're putting out a new album. It's
Speaker 1: a new song out, and they announced a huge tour.
Speaker 1: And they've been my favorite bands since I was in
Speaker 1: like third grade. I started listening to them, and I've
Speaker 1: never been able to see them live because tickets are
Speaker 1: always so expensive, and I was just like, I'm never
Speaker 1: gonna be able to see them. By the time I
Speaker 1: was an adult, they had broken up. And now that
Speaker 1: they are back together and I have tickets to see them,
Speaker 1: it's kind of surreal, Like I never thought I would
Speaker 1: be able to see that lineup and be able to
Speaker 1: afford tickets to go to something like that. That It
Speaker 1: has made me like really happy and have something to
Speaker 1: look forward to. That's awesome. Okay, So did you ever
Speaker 1: see the Blink eighty two with the different member. No,
Speaker 1: I've never seen them in any capacity period. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: seen them in their different side projects. So that singer
Speaker 1: was in another band called Alkalan Trio, who was another
Speaker 1: one of my favorite bands. The guy who came back,
Speaker 1: Tom DeLong, had a side project called Annuals and Airwaves
Speaker 1: and they came to town last year and I saw them,
Speaker 1: But I've never seen them as Blink win eighty two.
Speaker 1: So this feels pretty monumental for me. Yeah, and probably
Speaker 1: pretty nostalgic too. Yeah. Like, these are all songs that,
Speaker 1: at the time when they came out, inspired me to
Speaker 1: learn how to play guitar. It's the reason I started
Speaker 1: my first band. My initial plan leaving high school was
Speaker 1: to move and try to make it in a punk
Speaker 1: rock band, and that was all because I discovered Blink
Speaker 1: within eighty two and they made me want to write
Speaker 1: dumb songs to play punk rock. So getting to see
Speaker 1: them live is like everything coming all the way back around?
Speaker 1: So did you splurge? Was there an option to buy
Speaker 1: meet and greets? I didn't get meet and greets. Let's
Speaker 1: just say their tickets are nine cheap. Oh okay, so
Speaker 1: just the tickets are tickets are alone. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: was like, I, I know this is a bucket list item,
Speaker 1: but there's also a threashold and how much I want
Speaker 1: to put it on this? So yeah, I don't really
Speaker 1: want to meet people anymore. You're like, oh, is this
Speaker 1: going to ruin it? Yeah, but normally meet and greets
Speaker 1: they are pretty like not a lot is going to happen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'd be a lot to pay for a picture, and
Speaker 1: then if you have like not the best experience, it
Speaker 1: takes away a little bit from it. I would just
Speaker 1: rather go to the show, experience the show, singing along
Speaker 1: to my favorite songs, and that'd be it. That'd be
Speaker 1: the that'd be the interaction. Oh yeah, okay, So is
Speaker 1: this this year or is it next year? Next summer?
Speaker 1: So it's a long way. So oh yeah, you got
Speaker 1: like anticipation. It is gonna be building for months. So
Speaker 1: that's a weird thing to be so excited about right now.
Speaker 1: It's not weird though. I mean, that's really cool that.
Speaker 1: I think it's cool that you have something that you
Speaker 1: love that much that you can get excited about. I
Speaker 1: think that's cool. Yeah, And I mean I can tell
Speaker 1: you're excited. You're like, like, you look like you're glowing
Speaker 1: right now. You know how they say, like women when
Speaker 1: something good happens to him, start glowing. You look like
Speaker 1: you're glowing right now. Because this is something I've been
Speaker 1: like following along the TikTok theories of him coming back
Speaker 1: into the band. I mean, my brother also bond over
Speaker 1: this band a lot. We've been texting a lot, and
Speaker 1: then once it finally happened, I was texting my brother.
Speaker 1: I texted my wife and I was like, we're getting tickets.
Speaker 1: Were going, so is your brother going to come in
Speaker 1: down and go with you. We're trying to decide if
Speaker 1: he's going to come here or I go to another
Speaker 1: show in Dallas. We're trying to figure that out. So
Speaker 1: you may go to two shows, may go to two shows.
Speaker 1: I mean, why not. I know this could be the
Speaker 1: one opportunity that it happens. They could be like one
Speaker 1: and done. They could get back together and then decide
Speaker 1: they want to break up again they don't like each
Speaker 1: other anymore. I mean, there had to be a reason
Speaker 1: they weren't together for so long. Yeah, and hopefully at
Speaker 1: least now it's all worked out or they want to
Speaker 1: have done that. But right there has to be something
Speaker 1: because that's like twenty years. Yeah, that's a long time.
Speaker 1: And the weird thing now is like Travis Barker is
Speaker 1: more famous for being with the Cardashian Like, that's almost
Speaker 1: what my wife is more excited about. She's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen him on the Kardashian and she would probably
Speaker 1: be at his shows because this is a big deal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so she would get to see one of the Kardashians,
Speaker 1: likely by side stage. And you give see your favorite
Speaker 1: band of all time? Yep, So do they fall ahead
Speaker 1: for you above post Malone? No? I still think post
Speaker 1: Malone is my number one. Oh yeah, okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure how to take that because I the way that
Speaker 1: I just saw you glow about Blink one eighty two,
Speaker 1: I really thought post Malone was about to be thrown
Speaker 1: because I think Blink one eighty two is so formative
Speaker 1: of my young adult life. But post Malone has been
Speaker 1: so much more in me now in the last five
Speaker 1: six years that I think that means more to me now, Okay,
Speaker 1: And that's the other reason I'm excited for this week
Speaker 1: because I'm seeing Post Malone this weekend. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: in Nashville. Yeah, okay, And that is a show I've
Speaker 1: been looking forward to for a few months now, and
Speaker 1: another one that I was like, no matter how close
Speaker 1: he comes, I'm going to travel to. But it just
Speaker 1: happens to him being in Nashville. And the only other
Speaker 1: time I've seen him was in a small club here
Speaker 1: in Nashville, and I mean before he blew up. So
Speaker 1: I've never seen him in this capacity. And I've been
Speaker 1: looking at like videos of how like complex the stage
Speaker 1: looks and how much goes into a show that I'm
Speaker 1: just so excited to get to see him again. Now, Okay.
Speaker 1: So you've been looking at things about both of these concerts.
Speaker 1: Are you one of those people that looks up a
Speaker 1: set list before you go? I usually do, but for
Speaker 1: Post Malone, I didn't. Usually every concert I go to,
Speaker 1: I look at every single song that they played in
Speaker 1: every city, and I plot out, like when they play
Speaker 1: my favorite songs if I need to stay for the
Speaker 1: encore and I get bummed out. If there's a song
Speaker 1: I like and they haven't been playing yet, I'll go
Speaker 1: back on like different years and see like the frequency
Speaker 1: of when they play about it. But for post Malone,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to know because I just kind of
Speaker 1: wanted to experience it and not be anticipating the songs
Speaker 1: coming and not have it already kind of programmed in
Speaker 1: my head. I think that takes away from it a
Speaker 1: little bit. So for my favorite artist, I don't want
Speaker 1: to know. I just want to once each song of we,
Speaker 1: once each note of the song starts, I want to
Speaker 1: experience it in that moment and be excited. So I
Speaker 1: didn't look up any setlists. That's fair. I get it
Speaker 1: for that one. But that's so interesting how intricate you
Speaker 1: get into the setlists. Yeah, I just want to know.
Speaker 1: I like to know. It's kind of like looking at
Speaker 1: the menu before you go to ask do you look
Speaker 1: at the menu before you go to Oh? Yeah? But
Speaker 1: I do think the difference of the menu though, is
Speaker 1: because I do that we have dietary restrictions, and exactly
Speaker 1: that adds a whole another level. You got to know
Speaker 1: if you can eat or if like you're eating basically
Speaker 1: a salad, Yeah, like one am I expecting going into
Speaker 1: or do I need to eat before? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: I think it's different in aspect, but I think it's
Speaker 1: important sometimes to have that level of surprise and fun.
Speaker 1: And it makes sense that you want to do that
Speaker 1: for posting, which is your guy? Yeah? Are you going
Speaker 1: to do it for Blink one eighty two two? You know?
Speaker 1: For them? I think I'll look it up one because
Speaker 1: they're two touring for so long before they even get
Speaker 1: here that it could probably change. And I really don't
Speaker 1: know what they are going to play because they have
Speaker 1: so many albums and so many different eras, and with
Speaker 1: Tom DeLong coming back, I don't know what songs they're
Speaker 1: going to gravitate tours. What if they don't want to
Speaker 1: play their hits anymore the albums playing newer stuff, or
Speaker 1: what if they're just playing stuff later or I mean
Speaker 1: they could go back to stuff from the nineties, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, so I kind of want to get
Speaker 1: an idea of what they end up playing. All right,
Speaker 1: Well that hey, you are the now the expert in
Speaker 1: looking up set list too, so somebody wants to do that,
Speaker 1: does as Mark how to do it? I'm like, now
Speaker 1: I need all the details. Well that's super exciting. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got two big concerts. Anything else going on? Well,
Speaker 1: we also do a sports podcast called twenty five Whistles.
Speaker 1: And the whole thing we've been teasing for a while
Speaker 1: now is that we were going to be able to
Speaker 1: go to a Cowboys game interview Jerry Jones, And the
Speaker 1: latest update that came out on the last episode is
Speaker 1: we are getting to go. It's happening, he responded, or
Speaker 1: whoever responded. They finally responded. Bobby had been emailing them
Speaker 1: for a while and they were trying to find a date.
Speaker 1: Bobby said, I'm a date back when they have a
Speaker 1: home team a home game in Dallas. They said, the
Speaker 1: date worked, so we were getting to go to a
Speaker 1: Cowboys game at the stadium and hang out in Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones sweet to watch the game. And you've been a
Speaker 1: Cowboys fan? How long since I was a kid. I
Speaker 1: grew up in Waxahatchie, which is thirty minutes south of Dallas,
Speaker 1: so I grew up in ninety one. They won all
Speaker 1: their most recent Super Bowls in the nineties, so it
Speaker 1: didn't get bigger than the Dallas Cowboys. So since I
Speaker 1: was a kid, my earliest memories of watching any kind
Speaker 1: of sports was watching the Cowboys. I was in a
Speaker 1: Troy Eigman jersey when I was you know, I could
Speaker 1: and you know what was going on, and I love
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I would say, this is a dream
Speaker 1: come true. But I could never dream of this, like
Speaker 1: to go to a Cowboys game and meet Jerry Jones,
Speaker 1: who I've known forever, Who's somebody that even my mom
Speaker 1: would find cool. Like that's a big deal for me.
Speaker 1: Like my mom, I haven't even told her yet. She's
Speaker 1: gonna be like that, that doesn't make any sense, like
Speaker 1: why are you doing that? She's gonna be so excited
Speaker 1: for you though. Yeah, so I've only ever been to
Speaker 1: one Cowboys game ever, so this is definitely gonna be
Speaker 1: like a level up experience. Oh yeah, I mean this
Speaker 1: is like never gonna top experience type stuff, and it's
Speaker 1: something that I like, I'm initially I was excited and
Speaker 1: I want to go, but also like the weird part
Speaker 1: of me is I'm nervous to go and be in
Speaker 1: that situation because it's the owner of the team and
Speaker 1: if we're watching the game from that environment, like I'm
Speaker 1: weird around other people and I'm gonna be so excited,
Speaker 1: But also like should I be that excited? Should I
Speaker 1: be like, like as enthusiastic as I want to be?
Speaker 1: Kind of weird? Feel like just knowing people in general,
Speaker 1: when you have a positive attitude and you're happy and
Speaker 1: excited about things, people tend to gravitate towards that, no
Speaker 1: matter what the situation, regardless of who they are and
Speaker 1: what's happening. If you're smiling, laughing, having a good time,
Speaker 1: people love that. You can never go wrong by being
Speaker 1: that person. You can go wrong by being the person
Speaker 1: that like maybe get a little aggressive when you watching
Speaker 1: it and raise their own TVs or something, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So I don't feel like that's you.
Speaker 1: I think you are the one that's positive and you
Speaker 1: just you're watching You're having a good time watching the games.
Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Yeah, it's true. So you do that
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be like, oh, yeah, this guy loves
Speaker 1: my team, and its probably gonna bond you guys even
Speaker 1: more because he's like, then you can talk about all
Speaker 1: the different things on his team. Yeah, and that's what
Speaker 1: Eddie and I were debating too, of like how decked out?
Speaker 1: Do we go in cowboys here? Because I have a
Speaker 1: lot of it, and it's like that we're at all.
Speaker 1: Do I go like I'm just there to do because
Speaker 1: if we're going to do the interview with them before
Speaker 1: the game, so we are there to work a little bit.
Speaker 1: Do we go full on fanatic? Dang, well, you could
Speaker 1: go half and half. You could do like you kind
Speaker 1: of dress business see type because from what I see
Speaker 1: in all the photos, he's always in a suit. He's
Speaker 1: in a suit always, So you could go business see
Speaker 1: for the interview and then as soon as the interview's over,
Speaker 1: like work hard, play harder, transition fanatic, and you put
Speaker 1: on all your gear and then you get he sees
Speaker 1: both sides, yeah, and then you have you got both
Speaker 1: and all you got to do is bring them back.
Speaker 1: I mean, heck, girls bring purses all the time, being
Speaker 1: nothing different, So you bring bring all your gear for
Speaker 1: your fandom. He's gonna think I have all the podcast equipment,
Speaker 1: but it's just the change about my cowboys gear. Yep.
Speaker 1: I think, Hey, that's your that's your middle ground, that's
Speaker 1: where you got both. Yeah, and then you got some
Speaker 1: Maybe you're in a suit and you took a picture
Speaker 1: of him. Maybe you're in your Cowboys gear and you're
Speaker 1: cheering them on, so you get like multiple photos. It
Speaker 1: looks like you've hung out with them more than one
Speaker 1: day too. It's true, that's an idea. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I feel that. But I think if you were
Speaker 1: going to choose just one, I think the Cowboys gear
Speaker 1: is probably more natural, more genuine. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen you already in a suit
Speaker 1: in my life besides your wedding day. Wedding day and
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of words show maybe, so I've seen
Speaker 1: you guys in suits. Would kind of throw me for
Speaker 1: a loop. Yeah, but it is Jerry Jones, and this,
Speaker 1: like you said, is an experience you never even thought
Speaker 1: would happen. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, Okay, well that's exciting.
Speaker 1: I mean, what I'm ready for more? You got more of?
Speaker 1: This is a whole list. That's what I've been writing
Speaker 1: off of having things that I'm actually looking forward to,
Speaker 1: and then just on on like a personal level, like
Speaker 1: I feel like my wife and I have entered like
Speaker 1: this really good spot of just trying to enjoy life
Speaker 1: and take things day by day. And I feel like
Speaker 1: we've been as strong as we've ever been of kind
Speaker 1: of navigating after that first year of marriage. So I
Speaker 1: think we've just gotten to a great point to where
Speaker 1: we're just trying to have fun right now and it's
Speaker 1: actually like really working out and that's feeling just a
Speaker 1: lot happier all the way around. Well, that's awesome. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't have anything to add to that. That's just awesome.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear that. For you guys, it's really cool.
Speaker 1: I think it just helps when you have things to
Speaker 1: look forward to. And we've always made that a priority,
Speaker 1: even early on in our relationship because we were long
Speaker 1: distance for two years, and we always made sure we
Speaker 1: had that next date on the calendar when we get
Speaker 1: to see each other again. And I think now we've
Speaker 1: kind of transferred that of now that we're married, always
Speaker 1: having things on the calendar we're looking forward to, whether
Speaker 1: it's just a date night, trying a new restaurant, we're
Speaker 1: trying this new thing now where we're going to different
Speaker 1: coffee shops around town that we've never been to, because
Speaker 1: you are both coffee were both love coffee, and for
Speaker 1: some reason we always just go to the same places.
Speaker 1: And there's so many great spots here in town that
Speaker 1: we just built this whole entire list and we're just
Speaker 1: going to start working through them. So that's the next
Speaker 1: thing we're kind of looking forward to. So I think
Speaker 1: every time we have something different or fun on the calendar,
Speaker 1: it just helps us, you know, keep everything fresh. And
Speaker 1: we were also in a point right now we're thinking
Speaker 1: about having kids yet, and we know like that's gonna
Speaker 1: be this time right now is going to be the
Speaker 1: less chaotic our life is ever, and we have to
Speaker 1: enjoy that while we can. So I think we're trying
Speaker 1: to make the most of that too. Before you know,
Speaker 1: later that time comes and we won't have the ability
Speaker 1: to just book a random trip or go to any
Speaker 1: restaurant we want. Life will be a lot different then,
Speaker 1: So I think we're trying to take advantage of that now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people could take a book out of that, if they're
Speaker 1: newlyweds or they're don't have kids yet. I think that's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have things on your calendar, have things you're looking forward to,
Speaker 1: I am with the list thing, I'll keep it. If
Speaker 1: I see like new restaurants will pop up, I'll keep
Speaker 1: little tabs in my notes on my folder and be like,
Speaker 1: that's a new one. So then anytime somebody's like, where
Speaker 1: are you going to go to each tonight, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a new place. Yeah, that's try it that way.
Speaker 1: I keep trying different things and not going because I'm
Speaker 1: like you, guys, I'm a creature of habit. Ye'll keep
Speaker 1: going back to the same place if anybody lets me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get real stuck in my life. I like what
Speaker 1: I like, and I like the routine of things. So
Speaker 1: going to the same place it just feels comforting. Well
Speaker 1: you know that it's gonna be good. Yeah, that's my thing.
Speaker 1: Is like if I go to a restaurant I get
Speaker 1: really good meal, I'm like, oh, I want to eat
Speaker 1: this over and over because I know it's gonna be good.
Speaker 1: If I go to a new place, is it gonna
Speaker 1: be good? Probably not? Yeah, maybe I think that's why.
Speaker 1: Like I am with coffee, like I love coffee, but
Speaker 1: with traveling so much, I always just trusted in Starbucks
Speaker 1: because I know what I'm gonna get. I know they're
Speaker 1: going to do it exactly how I get it in
Speaker 1: every single city, but sometimes you just gotta branch out
Speaker 1: and find local places trying to break the creature of
Speaker 1: habit life. For both of us, it sounds like I
Speaker 1: love that. Well, I don't have anything near as a
Speaker 1: things plan as exciting. My years kind of slowed down.
Speaker 1: There was a lot happening like this past summer and stuff.
Speaker 1: But I did just do the CMT Artists of the
Speaker 1: Year Red Carpet and it was so much fun, but
Speaker 1: pure chaos because there was a tornado warning while it
Speaker 1: was happening. Oh, I was getting ready. I wasn't even
Speaker 1: around yet, and it's like, take shelter, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna take shelter in my bathroom and
Speaker 1: if a tornado actually touches down, I'll go to my
Speaker 1: actual shelter because I have to get ready on the
Speaker 1: off chance the tornado doesn't hit and destroy everything, and
Speaker 1: I have to go to this red carpet. And that's
Speaker 1: exactly what happened up until about four to fifty five.
Speaker 1: We had a tornado warning and it was like, okay,
Speaker 1: you're all clear, and I had to be at the
Speaker 1: place by five thirty and so thank goodness, I had
Speaker 1: the time to get ready, but I left. I made
Speaker 1: it at five thirty five because the traffic, everything that
Speaker 1: it took to get me there. And thankfully, like CMT,
Speaker 1: they were like, yeah, you're good. Tornado warning, like all
Speaker 1: best are off the table and all the artists are
Speaker 1: later too because they were dealing with it. So that
Speaker 1: was an interesting experience because the same thing happened for
Speaker 1: the CMT Awards and we did the red carpet. There
Speaker 1: was a massive storm that happened while we were doing
Speaker 1: the red carpet. Something was CMT events and storms, Yeah,
Speaker 1: really they do. But it was so good and I'm
Speaker 1: excited to share some of the videos and audios from
Speaker 1: what we did. One of the questions that I made
Speaker 1: sure to ask all of them was singing the song
Speaker 1: that's been stuck in your head all day? And I
Speaker 1: got so many fun answers, like people and they would
Speaker 1: sing and they did it like on the spot, and
Speaker 1: if they didn't sing, I'm like, no, you gotta sing,
Speaker 1: I said, sing and it was like this and they'd
Speaker 1: give me a little part of it and it was
Speaker 1: cool and even at a point where I got Gary
Speaker 1: Levox sing a nursery rhyme. It's great, that's fun stuff.
Speaker 1: And then I also asked all of them who would
Speaker 1: win in a fight between Bobby and Kangaroo. Got some
Speaker 1: good ones. Bobby's not looking too hot, but I got
Speaker 1: everybody's opinion on the fight, and he did have some
Speaker 1: people had his back. So I'm excited to share like
Speaker 1: those audios and videos so people can see what everybody
Speaker 1: said and everybody that came through. But it was a
Speaker 1: good time and I feel like I'm at least honing
Speaker 1: in on my interview skills. I'm getting even more quick
Speaker 1: witted on the spot, which is always fun. What is
Speaker 1: your method going into like a red carbet interview? Because
Speaker 1: you only get like a very short amount of time.
Speaker 1: They're coming through, people flying around, it's very it's kind
Speaker 1: of like a controlled chaos. Yes, yeah, people filming. You
Speaker 1: have people walk and you have people like making sure
Speaker 1: other people get to all the spots. Like what is
Speaker 1: your kind of approach to all right, all right, this
Speaker 1: person's coming up, I need to ask them a question.
Speaker 1: What do you do? Typically we've done like I think
Speaker 1: we've done four of them now this year. And I've
Speaker 1: gotten to a point now where it's I ask one
Speaker 1: question about the event we're at, one question that's like
Speaker 1: about their career, a little bit more serious, and then
Speaker 1: I typically go right into the fun questions because half
Speaker 1: the time they've filtered through so many different interviews that
Speaker 1: either by the time they get to me or they're
Speaker 1: at that point in the red carpet, they've heard it all.
Speaker 1: And so I want to ask them things that they
Speaker 1: haven't answered, especially because that also creates better content because
Speaker 1: if everybody's already used it, then nobody wants to see it.
Speaker 1: So I'll do the two things just in case I
Speaker 1: get a different answer than what they've given or if
Speaker 1: I ask the question in a a different way. But then
Speaker 1: I'll I'll have like five rapid fire questions like I
Speaker 1: also asked him, like they could only pick one con
Speaker 1: for the rest of their life, what would it be?
Speaker 1: And I asked them just to choose an animal that
Speaker 1: describes them. Riley Green said a duck, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to take that, but it
Speaker 1: turned into this whole spiral of a conversation. So I
Speaker 1: always go with like one in one and then I
Speaker 1: have like fun questions, and that's kind of where I
Speaker 1: turned the interview tour because they typically have more fun
Speaker 1: with it anyway. Yeah, they're laughing. They like not getting
Speaker 1: asked the same name O, yes, and it's my favorite one.
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, I've never thought about that, or oh
Speaker 1: this is this is getting weird. And I love when
Speaker 1: I'm throwing them off of that game a little bit
Speaker 1: because red Carpets are supposed to be fun. They're not
Speaker 1: supposed to be this serious. Oh my god, give me
Speaker 1: the breakdown of everything that's happened in your career. And
Speaker 1: one of the I did have, like the fun question.
Speaker 1: Also ready, we talk about the mount Rushmore on the
Speaker 1: show a lot, so I asked them to do the
Speaker 1: mount Rushmore of their careers and share the top four
Speaker 1: that they wanted to hear. And that was kind of
Speaker 1: like a serious one that I lean into and then
Speaker 1: it's but it's still fun. It's still a different way
Speaker 1: of asking something that somebody's probably like, well, tell me
Speaker 1: about that moment that that breakup inspired this song. So
Speaker 1: that's typically my theory, but sometimes I'll go in with
Speaker 1: different plans. I kind of have a theme for the
Speaker 1: night when I put together the questions and I just
Speaker 1: roll with it and if it doesn't work on the
Speaker 1: first one, then I'll change it up and go to
Speaker 1: the next one. Because also too on red carpets, the
Speaker 1: first few that come in are typically smaller artists. They're
Speaker 1: not quite as big yet, and so I can kind
Speaker 1: of test out what I'm wanting to do with them.
Speaker 1: And they're also more talkative and they have more to
Speaker 1: say most of the time. The ones that have been
Speaker 1: around for so long, they're like, dang, I've really answered
Speaker 1: all these questions, you know, So the younger ones can
Speaker 1: be more fun. Like I talked to Chapel Heart, who
Speaker 1: you guys had on the Bobby Cast. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: they were amazing, Yes, and it was. It was one
Speaker 1: of my favorite interviews of the night because they were
Speaker 1: just so fun. They sang multiple times, they were dancing,
Speaker 1: and it was just so much energy and I was like,
Speaker 1: if I could take that and put that in every
Speaker 1: single interview would be so cool. Yeah, they're great. So
Speaker 1: that's kind of a little bit of behind it, but
Speaker 1: I am really enjoying them. I just it's making me
Speaker 1: think more on the spot and be a lot more
Speaker 1: quick witted. And because like you said, I don't have
Speaker 1: the time to think. It's like you just gotta move. Though.
Speaker 1: When I did interview Carry Underwood at the Vince Skill thing,
Speaker 1: I definitely panicked. I was like, I work, those are
Speaker 1: hard right now because you're freaking carry Underwood. That's a
Speaker 1: great skill, Larn. It's cool to see you keep doing those. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're really fun. And Gary Lavox is also really fun
Speaker 1: to interview, which you have probably hung out with him
Speaker 1: a few times now and he I mean, you know him.
Speaker 1: He's just a character and he's so fun to listen to.
Speaker 1: And he walked up He's like, dang, I was going
Speaker 1: to wear that dress tonight, Like that was just the
Speaker 1: comment off the bat and I'm like, oh, here we go.
Speaker 1: So it was it was fun. But yeah, those have
Speaker 1: been going really well and hopefully to keep doing more
Speaker 1: of it and hopefully it's funs into just more kind
Speaker 1: of fun content like that, just trying to create content.
Speaker 1: Song that's in your head right now? Oh man, what
Speaker 1: was the one meet me at our kind of because
Speaker 1: it's on freaking TikTok TikTok songs get stuck in my head?
Speaker 1: Does that happen to you? Yeah? And you're like, where
Speaker 1: did that even come from? Or in the one that's
Speaker 1: a when they do the on TikTok where they're asking
Speaker 1: people to uh name the color of what they are
Speaker 1: the place that they are, and I learned because I
Speaker 1: watched it showed up on HBO Max the Divergent series.
Speaker 1: It's freaking from that movie. Yeah. I was like, where
Speaker 1: do you people find these ideas based off a random
Speaker 1: movie that came out like twenty years ago. I like
Speaker 1: discovering those of you just know him from TikTok and
Speaker 1: the later you hear it like in the wild and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh crap, that's what it's wrong. It totally
Speaker 1: threw me off. Is in the first dime Vergent movie,
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, is that sure enough? I'm like
Speaker 1: somebody was sitting here watching freaking Divergent and was like,
Speaker 1: you know what grete sound for an audio on TikTok? What?
Speaker 1: But yeah? Those two. Do you have a song stuck
Speaker 1: in your head? Right around fall? I get into my
Speaker 1: emo music, so I'm very into sad music right now.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to a lot of Phoebe Bridgers, So she
Speaker 1: has a song that I always have just one line
Speaker 1: stuck in my head. Okay, now sing it around the
Speaker 1: house and it drives my wife crazy. You got to
Speaker 1: sing it the whole thing, go around my house. I'm
Speaker 1: just going and it's full. I am again and I
Speaker 1: just sing that over and over again, and my wife
Speaker 1: is like, will you please just don't You can sing
Speaker 1: it's fine, but please pick another lyric to the song.
Speaker 1: Oh I just I hyper fixate on one song and
Speaker 1: one line and I just can't help but sing it
Speaker 1: all the time. So that is my song in the
Speaker 1: week right now, that's the one until another one pops
Speaker 1: it into my head. I'll pick a different line, but
Speaker 1: it's always just one line. Oh man, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1: But it happens because you're typically only hearing one line
Speaker 1: of it. Sometimes something sticks out to you and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's the line, because I'm telling you. Last when I
Speaker 1: asked all of these questions to them on the red carpet,
Speaker 1: everybody also only had one line. And there I was like,
Speaker 1: do you got any more? And they'll be like, no, honestly,
Speaker 1: that's all. So I think it's a common thing for
Speaker 1: us to only remember a very specific part of a song.
Speaker 1: I think when it comes to songs that become our favorites.
Speaker 1: We we remember one line, like that's how we remember
Speaker 1: a song. Even if you hear a song on the radio,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, that's a song that goes da da
Speaker 1: da da day, and you remember that one line. That's
Speaker 1: the line we sing or TikTok is ruin us and
Speaker 1: we have very short maybe that oh man, But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's having those those all be up and super fun stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for you, Mike, because that's just awesome to
Speaker 1: have all that cool stuff going on. And I'm excited
Speaker 1: to see you guys totally geek out in Dallas. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be unbearable. Better make all
Speaker 1: the tiktoks. I'm ready for all the tiktoks. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm ready for that. Well. Also, this week, Eddie talked
Speaker 1: about clearing his list for his kids, and I'm honestly,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into it, but Bobby helped
Speaker 1: him out and he didn't More of you were okay
Speaker 1: with Eddie asking to clear his list, and you were
Speaker 1: lunchboxes and you made all your own reasons, and you know,
Speaker 1: Bobby didn't think it was a good idea to let
Speaker 1: you guys buy anything Freddie's list, so he cleared it
Speaker 1: and you can hear all that happened on the best bits,
Speaker 1: just the bits. But also this week there was the
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime Massive Sale. Did you buy anything? I got
Speaker 1: something from my wife? Oh, okay, you can't say it.
Speaker 1: I can't say what I got her because because the
Speaker 1: hard thing for my buying stuff from my wife is
Speaker 1: her Christmas and her Birthday land around the same time.
Speaker 1: Oh so you're preparing now. I'm preparing now. I'm going
Speaker 1: to buy things that I know she wants now and
Speaker 1: then kind of decide, Okay, which will be Christmas and
Speaker 1: which will be her Birthday, because in the past I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're both coming up. I buy things, and then I'm
Speaker 1: like trying to figure it out. So I think if
Speaker 1: I start out now, like I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are already doing their Christmas shopping, Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of them for this freaking sale, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's October ahead, so I've done that. Now. I bought
Speaker 1: a couple of things that I'm like, Okay, this will
Speaker 1: either be her Christmas or her or Birthday present, depending
Speaker 1: on what I think of later. But I know I
Speaker 1: have these solid ones now because they would get some
Speaker 1: pretty conal they are. I mean, there are things that
Speaker 1: are like so much often and I was sitting there contently,
Speaker 1: I'm like, don't really need this stuff with it on tail.
Speaker 1: That's what I was like, Like I normally I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'll just wait till later because I don't want to
Speaker 1: think about it now. But it was like sixty, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that'd be significant later, like it'd be worth it. It
Speaker 1: is worth it. Well go for you for planning ahead, um,
Speaker 1: and also for finding some things. Do you ever find
Speaker 1: in a situation where she's bought it before her birthday
Speaker 1: or Christmas? Come? No, luckily that has Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put it out there for this time either.
Speaker 1: I'm not manifesting anything. If I see her like start
Speaker 1: gearing towards it, I'm like, I don't think you really,
Speaker 1: You're like, he don't need that, Yeah, the typical push away.
Speaker 1: I did buy a few things that maybe it didn't need.
Speaker 1: But I did get a massage gun because, like you said, significant,
Speaker 1: it was like three hundred dollars originally and then it
Speaker 1: was like steed dollars and I was like, yeah, I need.
Speaker 1: That's a deal, right, I was like, I need it,
Speaker 1: and it had like great reviews and people are like,
Speaker 1: watch out for all the fake reviews. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't know. It has twenty thousand Okay, that can't be
Speaker 1: all fake. Yeah, hopefully we're gonna find out when it comes.
Speaker 1: And I got a nice air purifier. Okay, I can
Speaker 1: always have a lot of dust at the house, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, why do I have so much dust? And
Speaker 1: it probably not should be breathing all of that in
Speaker 1: so people told me. Also, Carlo Marie suggested it, and
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, I got a legit one. We
Speaker 1: got some legit reviews on Amazon. I know how that
Speaker 1: works out. I've been thinking about that, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like it doesn't do anything, and I need somebody
Speaker 1: who I trust to tell you if it's a real difference,
Speaker 1: because it almost just seems like a thing you could say.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, it purifies the air, Yeah, does it really?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does it make you breathe better? I
Speaker 1: will say I did. I. At first, I bought these
Speaker 1: two many humidifiers. They didn't cost very much, very inexpective,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to see what they did in
Speaker 1: my bedroom when I slept, because they said it's supposed
Speaker 1: to make it easier for you to sleep, And I'll
Speaker 1: say when I had them on, I wasn't really good
Speaker 1: about turning them on was a problem because again there
Speaker 1: were cheap little ones. They had to like always hit
Speaker 1: buttons and stuff. But when I did have them on,
Speaker 1: I did sleep very hard. So there, and it could
Speaker 1: be placebo. I don't really know, but there was some
Speaker 1: truth to that, whether it was placebo or it was real.
Speaker 1: So those were cheap ones. Now I got a little
Speaker 1: more expensive bookcase again, right freaking deal and I would
Speaker 1: never buy otherwise. So I got it, and now we're
Speaker 1: gonna find out if it's actually worth it. I'm curious
Speaker 1: to see. I know. I will give you the actual loadown,
Speaker 1: but yeah, then some some workout vans and also just
Speaker 1: freaking planet fitness. Man. Do you ever use um like
Speaker 1: the Smith Smith Smith Wow or the Smith machine like
Speaker 1: on your hips at all? No? I never used it
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, well, well don't or do you use
Speaker 1: the pads that they have there for anything? I think
Speaker 1: if I do, if I do squats, I'll use the
Speaker 1: one for your neck okay, yeah, and they're not great. No,
Speaker 1: they're not. So I bought an actual legit cushion to
Speaker 1: put on the thing, like the really nice one. There's
Speaker 1: like ten bucks, and I was like, oh, yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: just bring it with me. I bought one of those
Speaker 1: you tell. I had a lot of in bose byes
Speaker 1: happening on the website. I was like, oh, I've thought
Speaker 1: about that before. I'm just gonna buy an owl. That
Speaker 1: was basically what was happening. So Amazon Deals to day
Speaker 1: totally did me dirty. And none of it has arrived,
Speaker 1: so I do not know if it's going to rid yet.
Speaker 1: But good news with Amazon, as you can return it.
Speaker 1: It's true. The other day I got an empty package
Speaker 1: from there from Amazon. That's either good or bad luck. Yeah. Like,
Speaker 1: I've also read that some people are getting these and
Speaker 1: it's a way that other companies are getting fake reviews. What. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like kind of ordering phantom orders to make it
Speaker 1: look like they have people buying their product, and those
Speaker 1: people go and review it. So I think that's kind
Speaker 1: of going back to what you were saying they could
Speaker 1: be fake reviews. Wait, so you would go but what
Speaker 1: don't you go and review and say something bad. No,
Speaker 1: they use it to like, oh about the product, it
Speaker 1: was great, So they beef up their their good reviews
Speaker 1: and they send out these just phantom empty things without
Speaker 1: their product. What what what are we doing? Are we
Speaker 1: really there? What is happening? Like my brain can't even
Speaker 1: comprehend that. Yeah, so I think that's why somebody was
Speaker 1: telling you to be wary of those five stars. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they're not completely true. Freak is wrong with people, Mike,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Okay, well, I guess you should be
Speaker 1: weary of those I did not know about this phantom stuff.
Speaker 1: A very controversial segment also happened on the show this week.
Speaker 1: Lunchbox misled prank Tower we want to put it our
Speaker 1: phone screener Abby when they were in Las Vegas. Basically
Speaker 1: he said he had to get a gig for her
Speaker 1: to go and sing, and he did not. He just
Speaker 1: took her on the street to sing. Yep, that's that's
Speaker 1: what I want to talk about, because this is for
Speaker 1: shocking in it and it inspired me. I was just
Speaker 1: thinking about random things and I'm like, again, back to
Speaker 1: what are we doing? What is happening? What are people thinking?
Speaker 1: I want to know the most shocking thing you've maybe
Speaker 1: witnessed at a funeral or in a inconspicuous place, so
Speaker 1: you're like, why is this happening here? And you can
Speaker 1: think about it interesting I'll tell the story because when
Speaker 1: I was at a funeral, I saw someone taking pictures
Speaker 1: of the past away person. Oh, and I didn't understand.
Speaker 1: And I was trying to have empathy because we're at
Speaker 1: a funeral. People grieve differently, but it just it was
Speaker 1: really hard for me to think of the possibility of
Speaker 1: why you would want to have that on your phone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's weird, you know what I'm saying. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe they're sending it to someone else, but also that
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to receive that, even like if I
Speaker 1: couldn't make it to a funeral, I wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: receive a picture of it. I mean, I know what
Speaker 1: that's like, you know what I mean. I don't think
Speaker 1: I need a photo image of it. I think I
Speaker 1: can imagine what's happening. I get it, and it just
Speaker 1: totally threw me off. I never expected I would see
Speaker 1: something like that one in that type of place, and
Speaker 1: just like that type of behavior at a funeral that
Speaker 1: is crazy, right. Yeah, I'm still kind of like baffled
Speaker 1: by it. It's not like no judgment if that's if
Speaker 1: that helps you in some way grieve, But it threw
Speaker 1: me off and I was just like, I feel a
Speaker 1: little weird. That is weird. I'm not sure what I'm
Speaker 1: a part of right now. So that was mine and
Speaker 1: that was like a very shocking moment. Have you had
Speaker 1: any experiences like that, you know, when it comes to funerals.
Speaker 1: I've only ever been to one in my life. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: Count yourself very lucky that it's only one. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: remember my grandma died. I was actually moving to Nashville
Speaker 1: and that was like my stop in my hometown is
Speaker 1: I went to my grandma's funeral, and that's the only
Speaker 1: one I've ever gone to. I've had other people, you know,
Speaker 1: pass away in the family, but I was never gone
Speaker 1: at their funeral. The weird thing that happened there is
Speaker 1: that I guess one of my uncle's ticket as a
Speaker 1: opportunity that our family doesn't get together like that all
Speaker 1: that often, and he asked one of my other uncles
Speaker 1: for some money he owed him. He's like, hey, I
Speaker 1: haven't seen you a while. I know we're here from
Speaker 1: our grandma's funeral. But okay, wait, and so it was
Speaker 1: what if it's an uncle, does that mean that was
Speaker 1: his mom? Yeah, so my uncle, Yeah uncle, so it
Speaker 1: was his mom. And then my other uncle said they're brothers,
Speaker 1: but they don't see each other very often. Their mom
Speaker 1: literally just passed away. And he's asking about money. I
Speaker 1: can't him two hundred and fifty bucks or something not
Speaker 1: not the right time or place, man, And so what
Speaker 1: did the guys say. Was he like, sure, I'll get
Speaker 1: it or I think they up? He ended up paying
Speaker 1: him the money. The wow. Also, you know that uncle
Speaker 1: was holding on to that. He went into it knowing
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be there, right, he owed me two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks. I think they'd like tried to
Speaker 1: like start some businesses here and there. So there was
Speaker 1: always some issue between them too, and they weren't talking
Speaker 1: for a while, so I guess he wanted his money back. Wow.
Speaker 1: I do you know there's something about grief that I've
Speaker 1: realized that just brings out different parts of people, and
Speaker 1: it's kind of their way of dealing with things in
Speaker 1: a way is not dealing with or dealing with it
Speaker 1: in a way that we wouldn't understand. So maybe that
Speaker 1: was his way of dealings try to understand. I'm not
Speaker 1: really sure, but I don't know. I just think he
Speaker 1: saw the opportunity to Yeah, man, yeah, that's crazy. I
Speaker 1: would not be especially like if that was like if
Speaker 1: that was my if I was that situation, I couldn't
Speaker 1: even be thinking about that. Yeah. I was sitting there
Speaker 1: balling my eyes out. I'm like, don't talk to me.
Speaker 1: How did your other uncle receive it? Like, how did he?
Speaker 1: I guess how did how did they How did that
Speaker 1: conversation go? Was it angry or was it like kind
Speaker 1: of quiet and just kind of happened, And it was
Speaker 1: pretty subtle actually, And I saw my other uncle like
Speaker 1: kind of get like angry at the beginning of it.
Speaker 1: But also he knew he I guess he owed him
Speaker 1: the money, so and they were at a funeral, so
Speaker 1: he didn't want it to get lead to an argument
Speaker 1: and make a big scene. So I saw that interaction
Speaker 1: and then later just heard that he ba wow, man,
Speaker 1: Well if you also if y'all have any like crazy
Speaker 1: funeral story, maybe it's not a funeral. Maybe it's somewhere else,
Speaker 1: and you're just like, why is that happening them in
Speaker 1: this specific space and time. Tell me about him, because
Speaker 1: this will make me feel better about both Mike and I.
Speaker 1: Very awkward funeral stories. And that's the one and only
Speaker 1: funeral I've been to, So I just assumed that happens
Speaker 1: at all of them. No, it does not, Mike, that
Speaker 1: does not happen at all of them. And also at
Speaker 1: that funeral, was it an open casket or was it closed?
Speaker 1: It was open, and that was hard. Yeah, I'm like
Speaker 1: fifty fifty on those like sometimes like okay, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's like a cool it's a closure way of saying
Speaker 1: good bye, but it's also hard because like it's not them,
Speaker 1: but very weird also probably very more big conversation for some.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know if you had any feelings on
Speaker 1: open or it's a weird feeling because I remember walking
Speaker 1: up there with my mom and immediately she just started
Speaker 1: crying and then we just kind of walked away. I
Speaker 1: just kind of consoled my mom a little more than
Speaker 1: it really hit me. But it's kind of a weird,
Speaker 1: like it is, I don't know, it's a weird thing
Speaker 1: to seem it is. I think the reason for it
Speaker 1: is closure would be my biggest guest um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. And I also don't know,
Speaker 1: like when I have to start putting together myself, what
Speaker 1: the frick am I going to make them do? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Do I want them to have an open casket?
Speaker 1: Do I want to be cream it? I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, I've actually been thinking
Speaker 1: about too recently. My biggest thing is I wonder what
Speaker 1: picture is going to be used to me that you're
Speaker 1: worried about the pictures because I am thirty one years
Speaker 1: old and I don't have a single picture that I'm
Speaker 1: proud of. And I think when people like google me
Speaker 1: or try to find it picture for me to use
Speaker 1: it in my day I passed away tomorrow, I would
Speaker 1: not be brown of the picture. And I'm like, which,
Speaker 1: what are they gonna use? Are they gonna pull up
Speaker 1: from Instagram? Where they got? To? Go on Twitter and
Speaker 1: find some random one? You have crewing pictures that you've
Speaker 1: posted on I don't think I have one solid one
Speaker 1: that I feel like they put that one up like
Speaker 1: during the funeral that I would be proud of you'd
Speaker 1: be looking down like, excuse me, it's not the picture
Speaker 1: I want to do. Yeah, another picture? Okay, Mike, maybe
Speaker 1: what you need to have happened. Maybe not this year,
Speaker 1: but in twenty twenty three you did get like some
Speaker 1: type of photo shoot set up and do like a
Speaker 1: fun photo shoot in like own who you are, and
Speaker 1: I think you'd come away loving one of those photos. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about that too. I'm like, I've just
Speaker 1: never been in a situation where I've been like totally
Speaker 1: comfortable in a photo shoot. So I don't have a
Speaker 1: photo I feel like really represents me yet, Okay, or
Speaker 1: what do you feel like you're getting to that point
Speaker 1: where that might happen? I think so. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: you see, just like you said, you're in kind of
Speaker 1: the happiest moment of your life. This would be the
Speaker 1: most genuine time to get a photo taken. True, I
Speaker 1: think now would be the time. So maybe I get
Speaker 1: it soon. Well, hey, I'm just putting it out there.
Speaker 1: I think it would help. When I did the photoshoot
Speaker 1: with one of my boyfriend's friends who's a photographer in town,
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I saw myself differently afterwards. It
Speaker 1: was just like that photoshoot was just all about me,
Speaker 1: like owning me and like just being like okay with
Speaker 1: who I am my body because also, like body image
Speaker 1: is such a big thing, and I came away from
Speaker 1: that I'm like, okay, yeah, all right, Yeah that's good.
Speaker 1: I love pretty good in those photos. And it allowed
Speaker 1: me to just kind of own a little bit more
Speaker 1: of who I was. Something about like seeing it through
Speaker 1: a lens of somebody else in different like weird to
Speaker 1: say it this way, but like different positions that you
Speaker 1: wouldn't normally put yourself in for photos. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I could rock that little position type thing, and you
Speaker 1: use that more. You just learned a lot I think
Speaker 1: about yourself too, and mean, yeah, I would say the
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me that I don't really talk about
Speaker 1: a whole lot, but the reason I don't like taking
Speaker 1: pictures because of my teeth and I'm still gonna have
Speaker 1: my braces on for another I get them off in
Speaker 1: like a year and a half or so. I have
Speaker 1: another year and a half, and I think that's probably
Speaker 1: more tirral to where I will lean towards, like getting
Speaker 1: like a real legit like photo that I'm proud of
Speaker 1: because I just don't like smiling. I don't like the
Speaker 1: way my teeth look. And I think even that brief
Speaker 1: few weeks that I did have them off before I
Speaker 1: got new ones on, I could feel the confidence and
Speaker 1: like wanting to smile more and just talk more and
Speaker 1: just have my teeth visible. I mean, I could also
Speaker 1: probably contribute to I don't talk a whole lot. I
Speaker 1: just don't like people seeing my teeth. So I think
Speaker 1: also once I get these off officially in that year
Speaker 1: and a half, I'll feel more comfortable than photos. Because
Speaker 1: even with like me losing weight, getting healthier and being
Speaker 1: more comfortable where I am with my body, like, that's
Speaker 1: still kind of remained there. And that's kind of a
Speaker 1: thing that even when I'm talking to somebody, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're looking at my teeth. So that's probably another thing
Speaker 1: that contributes to me not having the picture yet. Well,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you sharing that with me, especially if it's
Speaker 1: something that's hard for you to talk about, but I
Speaker 1: can speak from sitting over here from me. The last
Speaker 1: thing that I've looked at this whole time is your teeth. Like,
Speaker 1: I think what radiates about someone when they smile as
Speaker 1: the energy around them more than it's like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: zooming in right on the teeth. Some other people maybe
Speaker 1: like that, but I know at least most people, at
Speaker 1: least people that I'm around, are like, if you radiate
Speaker 1: that energy, the last thing you're focused on anything. It's
Speaker 1: like somebody walks in a room just we're talking about
Speaker 1: Chapel Heart. They walked up right. The only thing I
Speaker 1: realized about them was how fun and how energetic they were.
Speaker 1: I didn't pay attention to anything else. And when people
Speaker 1: radiate that type of energy and they're so confident in themselves,
Speaker 1: nobody's just focusing on anything but that. So I think,
Speaker 1: right now, when you're glowing, that's why I'm not looking
Speaker 1: at anything. I'm like, you're sitting or happy, and you're
Speaker 1: talking about these things that you love and you're happy about.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm focused on, and that's what I hear,
Speaker 1: and that's what I even see from you, which is
Speaker 1: weird because it's really hard to come from that perspective.
Speaker 1: It's very hard for us to put ourselves in that
Speaker 1: perspective to see that other people are seeing that about
Speaker 1: us more than they are physically about us. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: think we just go to all our insecurities and be like,
Speaker 1: that's everybody's seeing. Yeah. Yes, But if that helps you
Speaker 1: at all in any of this, just know that that
Speaker 1: was not the last thing I was That was the
Speaker 1: last thing that I was focused on. Helps a little bit. Well,
Speaker 1: I do think it's awesome if you if this is
Speaker 1: making you feel better and you're on you know, I
Speaker 1: just recently got in visilizing it because I was the
Speaker 1: idiot that didn't wear my retainers and my teeth got
Speaker 1: all kinds of messed up again after being in races
Speaker 1: for several years. And I think I told you that
Speaker 1: story of when I cried getting my braces off because
Speaker 1: I hate my teeth. I want the racist back on.
Speaker 1: It's all about comfortability and just how you feel. And
Speaker 1: I was not comfortable with not having brace song because
Speaker 1: I'd had him for seven years. You know. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: oddly start to feel kind of like a security blanket,
Speaker 1: like part of your personality. If you just had that
Speaker 1: kind of shield on them, you're like, oh, people are
Speaker 1: looking at those, but not the actual like yeah behind it.
Speaker 1: So I think it's a journey in itself a smile,
Speaker 1: and I do think there's confidence that comes behind that too,
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for you that you're going to get
Speaker 1: that if that helps you in this kind of new
Speaker 1: phase to find finally freaking have a photo that you love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that's really cool. But just know that
Speaker 1: you are the only one that's thinking that. Nobody else's
Speaker 1: all right if it helps at all until you get
Speaker 1: to that point. But thank you for sharing because that
Speaker 1: I think more people can relate to that than you think.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know my boyfriend has some insecurities about
Speaker 1: his smile sometimes and he'll talk about but not really
Speaker 1: he doesn't really want to, and but I'm like, you
Speaker 1: have a great smile. I'd rather see you smile all
Speaker 1: the time than not smile, because then I just think
Speaker 1: you're angry at me all the time, you know, so
Speaker 1: or you don't want to be around. And he's like,
Speaker 1: that's not at all, you know what I mean. It's
Speaker 1: it's all the perception is reality. That goes back to that.
Speaker 1: So I won't say anything more. I'll let you you
Speaker 1: move on, but I appreciate you sharing with me. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: So we'll go to the next one. We did get
Speaker 1: an update on Bobby's dog Stanley. This week he had
Speaker 1: two ACL surgeries and great news. He's home, he's recovering,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, you guys loved getting all the photos
Speaker 1: of Stanley and seeing how he was doing, so I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure to include that this week. I
Speaker 1: did have an interesting experience at the vet too this week, Mike,
Speaker 1: what happened? Oh gosh, I love my dog. I'll do
Speaker 1: anything for her. I thought she had a really bad
Speaker 1: potentially a bot fly thanks to TikTok um. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen any of those videos, but a
Speaker 1: bot flag, it's it's like this little worm that like
Speaker 1: gets under their skin and like you have to get
Speaker 1: it like surgically removed. And she had a bye wound
Speaker 1: that had an open hole that looked like that online
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, this is not good.
Speaker 1: I have to get rider to a vet right away.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen. I get in
Speaker 1: there two hours later, and eighty five eighty five dollars later,
Speaker 1: I found out she has an inverted nipple. That's what
Speaker 1: I found out. And I know dogs could get the
Speaker 1: I didn't either. I didn't even know that was the thing.
Speaker 1: The Internet did not tell me about that because it
Speaker 1: was on like one of her area. But apparently it's
Speaker 1: likely from because really awesome. When you adopt a dog,
Speaker 1: they spay and new to them because they're trying to
Speaker 1: help the problem of having too many stray animals. But
Speaker 1: she was two months old when I got her, and
Speaker 1: they spaid her at two months old, and that's not
Speaker 1: the best thing for them. You're really supposed to wait
Speaker 1: until they're about a year old. And my vet said
Speaker 1: that because of that, it's likely what's causing this now,
Speaker 1: and I was like, but only my dog could make
Speaker 1: this happen, like this could be happening, And I pay,
Speaker 1: and I pay eighty five dollars and spend two hours
Speaker 1: of my day going to the vet to find this
Speaker 1: out that she's okay, everything's gonna be fine. Inverted nipple yeah,
Speaker 1: uh huh. So that that happened for me at the
Speaker 1: vet this week, nothing like Stanley's. And Stanley actually had
Speaker 1: to have two surgeries done and it was a whole thing.
Speaker 1: But I definitely understand why you're going to do just
Speaker 1: about anything for your bet, even with crazy injuries or
Speaker 1: things that happen. So now I just have to put
Speaker 1: warm compresses on her all the time. That's basically what
Speaker 1: I got from that vet, So good thing I would
Speaker 1: I would take that over anything else, honestly, I will
Speaker 1: take that. But are you guys any closer to maybe
Speaker 1: getting a dog or are you thinking about maybe fostering
Speaker 1: or anything anytime soon? No, we're just still at that
Speaker 1: level of looking at pictures on Instagram of dogs up
Speaker 1: for adoption, just looking nothing. Like my wife sends me
Speaker 1: pictures all the time. There's a shelter here in town
Speaker 1: who they name a lot of them like after things.
Speaker 1: There's like a like a they have different themes. So
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, look at this theme all after like
Speaker 1: fast food. Oh that's amazing. And then you get one
Speaker 1: of them and you have like a Chick fil a dog, Yeah,
Speaker 1: persnic dog. You're yeah, yeah, oh that's great. I love that. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe you guys could start fostering though. That could be
Speaker 1: an eason, dude. Have we talked about that before? No,
Speaker 1: we never thought about fostering. That's a good idea too.
Speaker 1: It's a good eason because like we also had Miranda
Speaker 1: on this week and she was talking about fostering and
Speaker 1: how it's important and in college we fostered like over
Speaker 1: twenty dogs and it was such a fun experience, especially
Speaker 1: fun to do it with someone like we had. There
Speaker 1: was five of us Grolls that lived in the house
Speaker 1: that we did it with. And you're getting to do
Speaker 1: it with your wife. You get to like love on
Speaker 1: an animal and be a part of their kind of
Speaker 1: journey to a new home without the full lifelong responsibility. Yeah,
Speaker 1: keeping them forever until you're ready to keep one forever.
Speaker 1: And so I totally think you guys should look into that.
Speaker 1: I think that would help us too, because one of
Speaker 1: our things kind of holding us up is that we
Speaker 1: do like to just do stuff randomly, And it's a
Speaker 1: lot easier to do random things when you don't have,
Speaker 1: like a dog you have to worry about. Yeah, so yeah,
Speaker 1: fostering could be a thing we try. Yeah, well you
Speaker 1: can do it like because you know, you can kind
Speaker 1: of be like, hey, we can take them in for
Speaker 1: two weeks, or you can be like, well take them
Speaker 1: in until they get adopted. Just more fosters the better.
Speaker 1: But I think it's the coolest, like time, if you're
Speaker 1: thinking at all that you want one, it's the best
Speaker 1: way to learn. Also, to what kind of dogs come
Speaker 1: through there, because there's so many different kinds. And like,
Speaker 1: I remember one in college that we had I really
Speaker 1: wanted to foster Fail, a Rottweiler mix that we had.
Speaker 1: I was in love with him, and but my mom
Speaker 1: was like, you still got college left, there's a lot
Speaker 1: going on in your life, Like are you sure you're
Speaker 1: ready to take all of this on right now? And
Speaker 1: I was like, God, I really want to. But then
Speaker 1: he went like he had a great family home that
Speaker 1: he was going to and I was like okay. And
Speaker 1: then obviously Remy came along, and it was that was
Speaker 1: meant to be what was supposed to happen, And I
Speaker 1: think you learn a lot about that too, and just
Speaker 1: the shelter life that you're going to run into the
Speaker 1: one dog that's supposed to be with you, and that's
Speaker 1: how you find them. It's kind of fostering or volunteering
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my gosh, because I mean that's
Speaker 1: how I stumble up on Remy. I was volunteering and
Speaker 1: she was in there and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this dog is adorable so much how I wanted my
Speaker 1: parents to get her because they were thinking about getting
Speaker 1: another dog at the time, and then when they came
Speaker 1: to see her and meet her, she was so obsessed
Speaker 1: with me that they were like, oh, this is our
Speaker 1: daughter's dog, like she's already chosen her. And then I
Speaker 1: like put a hold and I was, and she had
Speaker 1: to have her spay done, and I was like, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, what's gonna happen. I was already freaking out
Speaker 1: about her before I even got her, and then like
Speaker 1: she came in and now I couldn't imagine not have
Speaker 1: ever gotten her. And so much of that came from
Speaker 1: just the process of doing fostering, volunteering and just like
Speaker 1: meeting my dog if that helps at all in that
Speaker 1: process at all. But I think it's really cool, especially
Speaker 1: getting to do it with people that you love and
Speaker 1: you care about because you're in it together and you
Speaker 1: get to see some really cool things. You also got
Speaker 1: to deal with some crap too, figure out how you
Speaker 1: handle it literal, yeah, literal literal cup and like figureship
Speaker 1: a lot of things because so many dogs have different personalities.
Speaker 1: Cats too, Like they just all have so many different personalities.
Speaker 1: So like you could think you know what you're getting
Speaker 1: and then they get there and you're like that. That
Speaker 1: is not what I thought we were getting with this dog.
Speaker 1: So you guys should look into that. I feel like
Speaker 1: you guys would be great ones. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: And you got it. You got a good home, You
Speaker 1: go on walks. You say, you guys want to take
Speaker 1: some time on Sundays, you'd go on long walks. They
Speaker 1: love walks. Dogs are all about a good walk, so
Speaker 1: they don't They don't require much besides that. But so yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you guys should. If you do, let me
Speaker 1: know because I'm all about it. Start to get into it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right. Well we also have this number one spot,
Speaker 1: which was some amazing news this week we won a
Speaker 1: CMA award. Ashley McBride called into the show and gave
Speaker 1: us the news and it was super exciting and we're
Speaker 1: just super thankful for all the listeners and everyone who
Speaker 1: voted for us, because we couldn't do it without any
Speaker 1: of them, and I think that's important. Yeah, so it's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're hey, Mike, you and I are getting CMA awards.
Speaker 1: We're getting actual tail. We're actually getting one. I mean
Speaker 1: I did listen. There was one year where I was
Speaker 1: on it for the ACM one and I got an
Speaker 1: a cm award. Oh you do. I mean it took
Speaker 1: like two years, but yeah, I ended up getting one.
Speaker 1: So I think. I mean, when they write all the
Speaker 1: names like they send them, they send the actual award
Speaker 1: to everyone. I've never gotten an award in my life
Speaker 1: with my name on it. See, I think it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not gonna like guarantee it because all
Speaker 1: of it that in the universe, but I think I
Speaker 1: fully believe that with your name on this that's how
Speaker 1: you get the CMA award. Because we got the email
Speaker 1: of like asking the name clarification. But even that didn't
Speaker 1: really set it in my head of like, oh, they're
Speaker 1: still just gonna be like, oh, we only got a
Speaker 1: certain amount, so on my head, it doesn't exist for
Speaker 1: me yet. Okay, But well, I'm not I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: like raise hope or anything. But I do think it
Speaker 1: will happen, and it just made to take like a
Speaker 1: year or two. May never see it until like a
Speaker 1: year or two later they do take forever. Well, I
Speaker 1: think you'll an award. It'd be cool. I'll have a
Speaker 1: I kind of have a spot picked out for even
Speaker 1: if that if it just happens. Okay, all right, I
Speaker 1: love it. I'm here for it. We're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: put into the good side that this is going to happen.
Speaker 1: This will happen. You will get a CMA award with
Speaker 1: your name on it. Mike, all right, you were talking
Speaker 1: about some internships to some previous Bobby Bones Show members. Yeah,
Speaker 1: interns out like I've done some really cool things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I started back in Austin. That's how I got
Speaker 1: started with the show back in twenty ten. I was
Speaker 1: going to college in Austin when the show was on
Speaker 1: a pop station there and randomly heard it one time
Speaker 1: go into class and I was like, Hey, that sounds
Speaker 1: like a fun show. And they would always talk about
Speaker 1: their interns, So I was like, I wanted to go
Speaker 1: be an intern. So whenever I message Bobby on my
Speaker 1: Space to go sit in on the show, he invited
Speaker 1: me up there and I met all the other interns
Speaker 1: at that point and knew I wanted to do that.
Speaker 1: And over the years, I've made a lot of people
Speaker 1: through that and people I'm still friends with now, somebody
Speaker 1: who was in my wedding with somebody I met as
Speaker 1: an intern, and there's somebody. There's been a lot of
Speaker 1: people who have gone on to do cool things that
Speaker 1: have been interns, and most recently, somebody I started out
Speaker 1: with one of those initial internship periods is now on SNLI. Yeah.
Speaker 1: His name is Devin Walker, and at the time he
Speaker 1: was like doing music, and so him and I would
Speaker 1: talk a lot about it, like some of our favorite rappers,
Speaker 1: and I've just kind of kept up with him over
Speaker 1: the years. He moved to New York and started doing
Speaker 1: like stand up, started writing for TV shows, and then
Speaker 1: just randomly dropped, Hey, I'm gonna be on SNL this season,
Speaker 1: and I've watched the past two weekends to see him
Speaker 1: on there. He's been on both of the cold opens,
Speaker 1: which is a big deal. To be on the first
Speaker 1: sketch of the SNL is huge. He's had a couple
Speaker 1: of sketches, so it's kind of cool to see people
Speaker 1: who have been interns now doing really big things. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just looking up him to see what he
Speaker 1: looks like, and there's like Devin Walker is one of
Speaker 1: four new cast members joining Saturday Night Live for it's
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty twenty three season. Yeah, so that's really cool.
Speaker 1: A wild Okay, that's amazing. Is there any others like
Speaker 1: interns where you're like, oh, they went on to do
Speaker 1: some cool stuff. Well, I mean even recently like Lexie Hayden,
Speaker 1: who was an intern on this show and now is
Speaker 1: doing music. She's writing songs as the song that she
Speaker 1: wrote is on the radio now. So I think we've
Speaker 1: just over the years had these have people who have
Speaker 1: this kind of drive that I kind of see and
Speaker 1: it's just cool to see them succeed. And I think
Speaker 1: I've always been in a place where I root for people,
Speaker 1: like I want people to do other things. I know
Speaker 1: sometimes when you are an intern, you kind of want
Speaker 1: other people to not sucty. I see that sometimes of
Speaker 1: like the competitive Yeah, you can get competitive and you
Speaker 1: see somebody else getting opportunities and you're like, oh, I
Speaker 1: want that. But I've always tried to support other people.
Speaker 1: And when I see other people get cool things like
Speaker 1: reach out to and be like that's cool. Like other
Speaker 1: interns have gone on to do like news and you know,
Speaker 1: be on TV or do other things. I just have
Speaker 1: always tried to follow along with the people who I've
Speaker 1: met over the years, and I just think that's really cool.
Speaker 1: To see somebody like on a national stage too, a
Speaker 1: massive national stage, and SNL is something I mean, that's
Speaker 1: now a connection for you at SNL, Mike. I know,
Speaker 1: it's just crazy to me that like SNL has been
Speaker 1: around so long and to now and nobody knows somebody
Speaker 1: who is a part of that part of that legacy,
Speaker 1: and that he can already say that I've done episodes
Speaker 1: in SNL that just all these so many famous people
Speaker 1: have done. He gets to work but like celebrities now
Speaker 1: every single week and just to know somebody. And I
Speaker 1: DMed him the other day like dude, you're crushing it.
Speaker 1: He was, like they expand it's just like it's awesome
Speaker 1: to see. No, that's awesome. And it's always cool to
Speaker 1: see where people come from internships, especially to like did
Speaker 1: they stay in that line of work or did they
Speaker 1: just totally do something different Like Matt who you guys
Speaker 1: had on twenty five Whistles, Matt Overton who was played
Speaker 1: in the NFL and just wanted to do He came
Speaker 1: and did an internship and was great at it and
Speaker 1: then went back to playing in the NFL. And he's
Speaker 1: had a crazy interesting life and now he's on the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. But we always have that connection with him
Speaker 1: of like, you're an intern for our show, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, it is cool. It's just cool
Speaker 1: to see where people go what they do, and it
Speaker 1: also is it shows you that, like he can genuinely
Speaker 1: do anything. If you got the drive and you got
Speaker 1: it the want to do it, you can do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Because even when when I was an intern, I wasn't
Speaker 1: like a standout intern. There were other people who were
Speaker 1: better on air than me, who had better ideas. But
Speaker 1: I knew if I like went in every day and
Speaker 1: just worked really hard and network everybody else, that I
Speaker 1: would kind of stand out above other people that were
Speaker 1: better than me. And that's what I did. So if
Speaker 1: you take, if you are able to get some kind
Speaker 1: of opportunity like that of like an internship, even if
Speaker 1: you're not like the best one, I think you can
Speaker 1: have the best work ethic and outwork anybody and that'll
Speaker 1: go a lot further for you than you think. Like
Speaker 1: I used to always think and hear people say like
Speaker 1: all hard work pays off, and sometimes you don't really
Speaker 1: feel that, but it really does. If you work hard
Speaker 1: at something, try like as many things you can just
Speaker 1: to get your foot in the door, it really does
Speaker 1: pay off. Somewhere someone is always watching or somewhere something
Speaker 1: is paying attention to it. I like to think that
Speaker 1: just in everything that you do, take the job that
Speaker 1: you may be like, oh, I'm really scared to do it,
Speaker 1: or take a side gig if you're like this could help,
Speaker 1: but it's it's really scary. You just never know what
Speaker 1: doors that opens and who you might meet along the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I think that's important. I think starting out, it's
Speaker 1: do the things that other people don't want to do,
Speaker 1: and then also don't be afraid to say yes to
Speaker 1: something even though you don't exactly know how to do
Speaker 1: it yet. Yeah, there's a lot of things I took
Speaker 1: on early on that I was yes, I would do them.
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out. I don't know how to do
Speaker 1: it right now, but I have faith in myself that
Speaker 1: I can figure it out. So even if you feel
Speaker 1: like you don't have all the tools you need, just
Speaker 1: just take it and figure it out later. That's true.
Speaker 1: Learning curves to come with everything. It's just you're choosing
Speaker 1: your learning curve ultimately, is what happened. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: mean all that to say, now, Mike, you and I
Speaker 1: are CMA Award winner. That's pretty cool. I think we
Speaker 1: deserve to be excited for her, though, because that's pretty
Speaker 1: awesome and I never thought that would happen in my
Speaker 1: life to say that. Yeah. Never, Hey here we are,
Speaker 1: Hey high five. We are CMA Award winners. Even if
Speaker 1: we don't get trophies, we are still winners and we're
Speaker 1: still on it. So congratulations to you. Make thanks to
