Speaker 1: The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one
Speaker 1: Behind the scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2: Good morning, everybody in Happy Saturday. Welcome to the Best
Speaker 2: Bits post CMA Awards and pre Thanksgiving. That's weird primetime
Speaker 2: right now, Babe, thing's going on. I know, it's really exciting.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling, Mike, Mike, if you didn't just
Speaker 2: hear his voice, he is joining me this weekend.
Speaker 3: I'm like, not quite ready for everything yet. It doesn't
Speaker 3: feel like holiday time to me.
Speaker 2: You know, every time you come on here, you're like, dang,
Speaker 2: the year's just flying by.
Speaker 3: It's just like I feel like it just gets earlier
Speaker 3: and earlier every year. Like I used to be really
Speaker 3: big into Black Friday, and now that's not really a
Speaker 3: thing anymore because Black Friday starts like a month ago.
Speaker 2: It's true, they started I think at the beginning of
Speaker 2: November for some stores now, and.
Speaker 3: It just feels like everything happens so early that once
Speaker 3: it's actually time for it, I'm not ready for it
Speaker 3: because it's already been happening for so long.
Speaker 2: This is true, So not ready for Thanksgiving now or Christmas. No.
Speaker 3: Also, it's a vegan Like what am I gonna eat Like,
Speaker 3: there's not really I don't really look forward to turkey
Speaker 3: all the food this is. So there's not a lot
Speaker 3: on that front for me to look forward to. Not
Speaker 3: going home for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: So okay, well let's get into it. I mean we're
Speaker 2: like we kind of already are a little bit. That
Speaker 2: was our little intro. But if you do want to
Speaker 2: check out the part two or where there's like all
Speaker 2: the bits and catching up on the Bobby Bone Show,
Speaker 2: lots of CMA content. There's a hoodie controversy if you will.
Speaker 2: There's some flirty things that happened in some of the interviews.
Speaker 2: Lunchbox did our acceptance speech. Just a lot of good
Speaker 2: stuff over there. But let's talk about live right now.
Speaker 2: So you're not going home for the holidays.
Speaker 3: No, Thanksgiving is hard because it's a quick turnaround and
Speaker 3: everybody's going home. So travel is just insane. We've done
Speaker 3: it before. And also it's hard to split time between
Speaker 3: two families.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and such a short amount of time.
Speaker 3: The one time we did go home and we did
Speaker 3: both like a combo Thanksgiving where my family and my
Speaker 3: wife's family came together. That was fun, but that's hard
Speaker 3: to do. It's also you're gambling a little bit banking
Speaker 3: on the fact that both families were to get along,
Speaker 3: which was nice that time because everybody did get along,
Speaker 3: But it just seems like more times you'd do that,
Speaker 3: you run into the possible risk of people not getting along.
Speaker 2: So that was why it was maybe a one and
Speaker 2: done type.
Speaker 3: Of everything went well, We're good. It was fun, but
Speaker 3: it's just a lot to go back for Thanksgiving and
Speaker 3: then go back home again for Christmas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe it's something that you guys can do
Speaker 2: every couple of years versus you know, every single year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because last year we were like, we're not going
Speaker 3: to do that again, and we went to New York
Speaker 3: and went to the parade fun.
Speaker 2: Do you remember this?
Speaker 3: And I remember thinking, like, we just wanted to do
Speaker 3: something while we're still just us two don't have kids,
Speaker 3: and we want to go do something fun for ourselves.
Speaker 3: So we did that and that was awesome.
Speaker 2: Are you guys going to go on a trip this year?
Speaker 3: No, we're staying here because this is the first time
Speaker 3: we're staying here since like twenty twenty. I think yeah,
Speaker 3: because the Christmas, I mean the Thanksgiving before we went
Speaker 3: with our both of our face families who were in
Speaker 3: Costa Rica. So it was like we just want a
Speaker 3: normal Thanksgiving get home where we kind of try our
Speaker 3: own traditions.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, anything you think you're going to try
Speaker 2: this year for a new tradition.
Speaker 3: We are actually like ordering a bunch of sides that
Speaker 3: are already made, and then we're just focusing on like
Speaker 3: our main thing, and I think we'll probably just make
Speaker 3: what we eat each want to eat.
Speaker 2: Okay, A vegan Thanksgiving, yeah, and gluten free because this
Speaker 2: is your wife also, she's gluten free.
Speaker 3: So it's hard for us to find those to those
Speaker 3: foods because it's so specific and an you think of
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving food, it's all either meat or gluteness. That's sure,
Speaker 3: gluteness all the bread and everything.
Speaker 2: That's so true. Okay, Well, what else is going on
Speaker 2: besides the holidays? And that's coming around the corner. I
Speaker 2: am with you. My family's about to come into town
Speaker 2: this weekend when everybody's hearing this, and they'll be here
Speaker 2: for a week, which I'm really excited about. They always
Speaker 2: come to me for Thanksgiving because I can't ever get
Speaker 2: back into town and then I'm by myself.
Speaker 3: Do you like having everybody in the house or is
Speaker 3: it overwhelming to you?
Speaker 2: Oh? I love it. I love hosting people like I
Speaker 2: The thing that's overwhelming about it to me is that
Speaker 2: I love my house being clean and there's like chaos
Speaker 2: in my house for a week. But I always just
Speaker 2: remind myself, like it's once a year. It's so much
Speaker 2: fun having them all in town.
Speaker 3: For you, when you have your parents back in town,
Speaker 3: do you revert back to being a kid, Because sometimes
Speaker 3: when I have like even my older brother and sister
Speaker 3: back in town, it's almost like they forget that I'm
Speaker 3: an adult now and they still treat me the same
Speaker 3: way they treated me when I was like a kid,
Speaker 3: to where it feels like, hey, we're going to do
Speaker 3: this and they're saying that like they're the authority. I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: you're like in my house now, like I'm gonna do
Speaker 3: what I want. And this is kind of how I
Speaker 3: go Is that kind of how it is with your family,
Speaker 3: Like your parents go back to being like, all right,
Speaker 3: we're gonna do this, and You're like, no, you're in
Speaker 3: my house.
Speaker 2: You know, they do, at least in the sense of
Speaker 2: like I always have a list for my dad and
Speaker 2: I'm like, can you help me with these things because
Speaker 2: I need some help.
Speaker 3: Okay. That's also fun to do though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he loves it. He's like, make sure you have
Speaker 2: your list ready for me so I can get things done.
Speaker 2: But I that's where I like kind of revert as
Speaker 2: a kid. Otherwise they look to me. They're like, tell
Speaker 2: us all the new stuff we gotta go do, because.
Speaker 3: They so when it comes to doing things, you're still
Speaker 3: the one because they're here and you're like, Okay, we're
Speaker 3: gonna go do this, okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And because they know I'm out doing stuff all
Speaker 2: the time and trying it, they don't know what's here
Speaker 2: and what's good that I've tried, versus like, oh, this
Speaker 2: isn't worth the time. So they do at least allow
Speaker 2: me in that capacity. But for sure, like the dynamic
Speaker 2: goes back to me being the youngest and I'm just
Speaker 2: like there and hanging out kind of thing. I get
Speaker 2: what you're talking about. So I am excited for that.
Speaker 2: And they're bringing my parents are bringing their three dogs,
Speaker 2: one of them being the dog that I had.
Speaker 3: Found and they adopted.
Speaker 2: That's cool, yeah, and I'm really excited to see her.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping she remembers me because I dropped them. I
Speaker 2: dropped her off with them in July when I went
Speaker 2: back for my sister's wedding. So it's been a couple
Speaker 2: months now, and either she's gonna want nothing to do
Speaker 2: with me or she's gonna freak out and I cannot
Speaker 2: wait to see it. So that'll be really exciting.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you feel it more when you go
Speaker 3: home though, and you're under their roof and doing things
Speaker 3: like even like going out to run errands like I
Speaker 3: want to go drive myself, or you have to always
Speaker 3: go with them and be the passenger a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely more when I'm at their house.
Speaker 3: It feels weird to be like even now as the
Speaker 3: don't When I go back, we have to rent a
Speaker 3: car because I can't be at the mercy of like
Speaker 3: my parents or my wife's parents are like, no, I
Speaker 3: need to be able to get around and do what
Speaker 3: I need to do and do what I want to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, hey, can can you take me here? Can
Speaker 2: I go here? Is this allowed? It is? It's funny
Speaker 2: because you're also like living there for because we go
Speaker 2: back and we get to spend some time for Christmas,
Speaker 2: and it's like I have to adjust and like try
Speaker 2: and put my routines back into like my old life
Speaker 2: in a way, you know what I mean, like where
Speaker 2: I want to do all these things. But like I'm
Speaker 2: at my parents' house again, and don't I feel like
Speaker 2: I'm five years old.
Speaker 3: You're like checking in, like I'll be back at nine thirty,
Speaker 3: Like why do I have to tell you what time
Speaker 3: are you back home?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It's like more the existence of like oh, dang,
Speaker 2: somebody's actually here and like wants to know what I'm
Speaker 2: doing versus me just going and be like, oh, you
Speaker 2: don't need to know. It's fine. Like I remember last
Speaker 2: year when I went home for Chris, I went on
Speaker 2: a date. I was like, this is gonna be weird.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be weird because I be weird. And
Speaker 2: it did because it was literally like I was about
Speaker 2: to leave and I had told them prior to us,
Speaker 2: like okay, I think I'm gonna go on a date,
Speaker 2: and then they had all these questions. I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: that's how this starts. I'm just going like it's just
Speaker 2: a first date. We're just seeing what's happening. So there
Speaker 2: was it's more involvement in your life when you go
Speaker 2: back home, I feel like and as an adult, you're
Speaker 2: kind of like, Oh, that feels weird. I don't feel
Speaker 2: like the involvement needs to be there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh, what other updates are going on besides the holidays? Oh,
Speaker 2: I need to know about run club. Did you go
Speaker 2: to run club? Did you make a friend? We need
Speaker 2: an update.
Speaker 3: I tried to go to run club and I did
Speaker 3: not make it to run club.
Speaker 2: Mike. This is like, what in the time frame since
Speaker 2: you've been here.
Speaker 3: A month and a half ago and now all the
Speaker 3: run clubs are kind of shutting down because it's getting colder, Mike,
Speaker 3: I've tried to make I have tried to make a
Speaker 3: friend on the trail because the weird thing is like
Speaker 3: I start to notice other people who run as much
Speaker 3: as I do, because around like the routes I run
Speaker 3: to just notice there's seeing people I've been seeing for
Speaker 3: a while now. And there's just one guy who I
Speaker 3: always run into and I know he's a long distance
Speaker 3: runner two because I'll see him like thirty to forty
Speaker 3: five minutes apart going on the trail, and I always
Speaker 3: like try to wave and say Hi to him, and
Speaker 3: he never says hi to me back. And the thing
Speaker 3: is like, I just want to compliment him because I've
Speaker 3: noticed the more and more times I've seen him, he's
Speaker 3: like gotten fitter and like healthier looking, and I can
Speaker 3: see like the work he's putting into it, And I'm like, man,
Speaker 3: could I just make like a casual friend, like just
Speaker 3: out in the wild like that. It's so hard to do.
Speaker 2: I mean, you totally can, but you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: be maybe a little bit more aggressive about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: just this slight wave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just hard to do. Like you're not gonna
Speaker 3: stop somebody. But I just feel like there's like this
Speaker 3: weird bond that you have with somebody else you see
Speaker 3: doing the same thing as you over and over again,
Speaker 3: and you like encounter each other, but you never really
Speaker 3: say anything to them. It feels like there's like almost
Speaker 3: like a misconnection there.
Speaker 2: There is you currently have a misconnection happening in your life.
Speaker 2: Maybe you have to go because you're so used to
Speaker 2: seeing him a little bit earlier to see if maybe
Speaker 2: you guys hit the trail at the same time.
Speaker 3: And then I started like following him home and then no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I'm like that i've been seeing you out running. Oh.
Speaker 3: The weird thing that happened to me running the other
Speaker 3: day is somebody was concerned for me and they told
Speaker 3: me like, hey, I've been like they literally yelled at
Speaker 3: me from the street saying, hey, I've been seeing you
Speaker 3: run and I think you run too much. And and
Speaker 3: I just found it weird that there's been a person
Speaker 3: like watching me. And it wasn't even what he said
Speaker 3: of like it was a dude. It was a guy,
Speaker 3: like an older guy in like a mini van, and
Speaker 3: he's like yelled at me, and I had my headphones on,
Speaker 3: but I'm always aware of my surroundings because I want
Speaker 3: to know, like hear cars here, people yelling at me.
Speaker 3: And he like yelled at me, like flagged me down
Speaker 3: to stop and said he'd been watching me. And he's like,
Speaker 3: I think you run too much. And he said I
Speaker 3: should look into the effects of like overrunning. And I
Speaker 3: don't buy into the thing like people telling me what
Speaker 3: to do, but it was just so weird that somebody
Speaker 3: had been watching like my route and knowing how much
Speaker 3: I run. And then I worry, like how, oh, like
Speaker 3: how long has he been watching me? And does he
Speaker 3: watch me go all the way home? Does he watch
Speaker 3: me go to my car? Like it just felt really
Speaker 3: weird and like violating. But it's like I'm out in public,
Speaker 3: you can see people, but it just felt so weird.
Speaker 2: Do you run kind of I'm assuming there's houses that
Speaker 2: you run by at different point.
Speaker 3: I mean I changed my route up all the time,
Speaker 3: so it's never the same spot because I don't want
Speaker 3: to get bored. But now I have to think about, like,
Speaker 3: here are people watching me this entire time?
Speaker 2: Is it possible that like he lives near one of
Speaker 2: the particular trails where like it's a spot you always
Speaker 2: kind of hit, even though if you take different routes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's close to Yeah, I would say the part
Speaker 3: he saw me at is usually the basis of where
Speaker 3: I start or at least go through at some point.
Speaker 3: But it's really weird for him to see me repeatedly
Speaker 3: because I run it all different times. Sometimes it's early
Speaker 3: on the weekend, sometimes it's later because of work. It's
Speaker 3: just really weird, and it's.
Speaker 2: So weird that he just felt this is a stranger,
Speaker 2: Like it's weird that he felt so inclined to stop
Speaker 2: what he was doing. And stop you from what you
Speaker 2: were doing and say, hey, this is how I think
Speaker 2: you should stop doing something, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you have no idea about anything about me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like what the audacity? Honestly, Oh my gosh, my god,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that happened. That's scary.
Speaker 3: It's weird. And it's somebody who like just struggle I've
Speaker 3: struggled with like working out and like thinking, am I
Speaker 3: doing too much? Am I doing too little?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And it's just like to have this other layer of like,
Speaker 3: am I really like I don't know. It just felt
Speaker 3: really weird.
Speaker 2: No, I mean because Mike, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: you know you and your body better than anybody else, right,
Speaker 2: And sure some people over indulge and less adult whatever.
Speaker 2: There's always gonna be this balance, especially when you're trying
Speaker 2: to understand what you want to do, but you feel good.
Speaker 2: You don't feel like if you're overdoing something. Your body
Speaker 2: will tell you that, right, you will feel that in
Speaker 2: your bones. Your body loves to tell you what's going on.
Speaker 2: So unless you feel that way, you're not doing anything wrong,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And I know that's hard
Speaker 2: because somebody literally when somebody out of the blue, comes
Speaker 2: at you and says, this is observes you so much
Speaker 2: to the point of saying this is what you're doing wrong,
Speaker 2: which is an entirely wrong thing in my mind. But
Speaker 2: does that I can see where it would plant the
Speaker 2: seed in your brain to then justify the things that
Speaker 2: you've already felt, you know what I mean. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: you're not Mike. You're healthy, you're doing great things for
Speaker 2: your body, You're moving the way that you should be.
Speaker 2: And maybe this guy is jealous because he can't run,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like, maybe he tells because
Speaker 2: he can't go running and he doesn't like running long distances,
Speaker 2: and he wants you to live the life. If there's
Speaker 2: something I have learned about people who criticize openly and
Speaker 2: without the full history or knowledge of something, is that
Speaker 2: they want you to live your life the way they
Speaker 2: live theirs. So all he was doing was projecting what
Speaker 2: he thinks and what he wants other people to live,
Speaker 2: like based on his own life. So he's driving a minivan.
Speaker 2: You know, do you want to be driving a minivan
Speaker 2: instead of running on a Saturday morning and joining your life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just took me a while to shake that,
Speaker 3: Like I literally thought about it for like two to
Speaker 3: three weeks. I just would come back to those comments
Speaker 3: of like just questioning everything for a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm really sorry that that's not fair. It
Speaker 2: shouldn't have happened, you know what I mean, Like, at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, it just shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2: And nobody should feel so obligated to tell a stranger
Speaker 2: such an unsolicited, unwarranted opinion. You're gonna make me go
Speaker 2: on a tangent. People make me so mad sometimes.
Speaker 3: Of the unsolicited of advice and opinion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's so and it was so unwarranted in
Speaker 2: so many ways and all so creepy that he's been
Speaker 2: watching you. Yeah, I think maybe he's obsessed with you.
Speaker 3: The creepy factor is more what I was concerned with,
Speaker 3: of just the idea of somebody watching me, because I
Speaker 3: think when you're out in public, as much as we
Speaker 3: think that everything we do people are paying attention to,
Speaker 3: it's all inside our minds. But that was just the
Speaker 3: one moment I had of like, oh, there are actually
Speaker 3: people like paying attention to things. And then I also
Speaker 3: have this whole other theory of like NPCs and like
Speaker 3: am I living in some weird simulation, Like I know
Speaker 3: Bobby goes on that tangent, but there are just some
Speaker 3: people I see so repeatedly and I have no interactions
Speaker 3: with them. It just feels weird to me. Like people
Speaker 3: at the gym, people out in public, at the grocery store,
Speaker 3: I see them repeatedly. I'm like, is there like just
Speaker 3: a limited amount of people that I encounter or is
Speaker 3: it just a coincidence that I'm I'm also at the
Speaker 3: same places at the same time as these people in
Speaker 3: all these weird situations.
Speaker 2: No. I think that's an interesting perspective too, write because
Speaker 2: you'll run into other people for the first time ever,
Speaker 2: and you're like, we have the same circles, We've had
Speaker 2: all these same scenarios. How have we never met each other?
Speaker 2: And then you're like, I see this other person fifty
Speaker 2: times a week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why?
Speaker 3: And I'll even like change up my routines and I'll
Speaker 3: encounter the same people and I'm like, how how am
Speaker 3: I still running into you if I'm not doing this
Speaker 3: thing at the normal time that I'm doing it at.
Speaker 3: But then I like look back on it, like, well,
Speaker 3: I'm also here at different times, so maybe they're thinking
Speaker 3: the same thing about me.
Speaker 2: It's possible you guys are both the NBCs to each other.
Speaker 3: Are there just NPCs in our life just all the time?
Speaker 2: I think that's possible. I mean, I'm never going to
Speaker 2: say nothing is not an option. But I also think
Speaker 2: people who are super self aware is very uncommon right
Speaker 2: to be aware of your surrounding.
Speaker 3: So much of the time, I'm like hyper aware of surroundings.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people aren't, you know, Like I
Speaker 2: see and experience everything that happens to me, and there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people that don't. They'll be like this,
Speaker 2: like all the crazy things that happened to me, Right,
Speaker 2: I have weird stories to share all the time, and
Speaker 2: I think so much of it is related to that.
Speaker 2: I'm just paying attention a lot. Like I'm so much
Speaker 2: like you, hyper aware of what's happening around me anytime
Speaker 2: I go out in public spaces, so I can't not
Speaker 2: notice things. And I think there's a lot of people
Speaker 2: that just go out exist and do and they're in
Speaker 2: their bubble, and there's nothing wrong with that. But when
Speaker 2: you're in your bubble, you're not seeing everything that's happening
Speaker 2: around you.
Speaker 3: I wish I had just like a level of that
Speaker 3: inside of me, yea of like not being able to
Speaker 3: care about my surroundings, even like sometimes in public where
Speaker 3: you encounter people who aren't really trying to be rude,
Speaker 3: but they're just like not there's just nothing going on
Speaker 3: to where they're aware of people around them or they're
Speaker 3: surroundings or even that they're doing anything wrong. I was like,
Speaker 3: I wish I just had an ounce of that in me,
Speaker 3: because I'm out in public thinking like I don't want
Speaker 3: to inconvenience this person, I'm taking too long to do this,
Speaker 3: I'm holding everybody up in this line, and there are
Speaker 3: people who are.
Speaker 2: Just like lady DADDI dad cool and like I just wish.
Speaker 3: I had that inside of me.
Speaker 2: I know, but it also makes you a better person
Speaker 2: that you don't Mike. You know, you are self aware
Speaker 2: and you are considerate of other people around you, and
Speaker 2: I think when you are in that bubble, it takes
Speaker 2: you're in a situation of lack of consideration for a
Speaker 2: lot of other people around you. So it makes you
Speaker 2: a good person. Okay, so keeping a good person. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry you got grouped out, and hopefully this guy leaves
Speaker 2: you alone. Yeah, also Greevy that he was in a
Speaker 2: minivan and this happened because those are the kind of
Speaker 2: those are the vans that they take you away in,
Speaker 2: you know. So please be careful. Okay, we're gonna take
Speaker 2: a quick break. We'll be right back, all right, Mike,
Speaker 2: Let's talk CMA Awards. We both went to the show. Experiences, stories,
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. That's what the people want to hear,
Speaker 2: is what I kept being told when I put in
Speaker 2: the question, so give me, give me your story of
Speaker 2: CUMA night and any other things that happened that week.
Speaker 3: I will have to say. Going into it, I also
Speaker 3: had a struggle with what I was going to wear,
Speaker 3: and I wanted to wear something that had a little
Speaker 3: bit of me in it because it is a very
Speaker 3: formal event where suit and tie is kind of the norm,
Speaker 3: and I wanted just to wear something that showed like
Speaker 3: my personality. And I tried to and the more and
Speaker 3: more I tried out different things, I'm like, it's just
Speaker 3: isn't working. It's not gonna fit because it is such
Speaker 3: a formal event where unless you're like a nominated artist
Speaker 3: at the award show, if you wear something a little
Speaker 3: out of pocket, it's gonna look a little weird. So
Speaker 3: I tried out probably four to five different things going
Speaker 3: into it, and I was like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 3: just going back to the original suit I had and
Speaker 3: not trying anything else out because it just doesn't feel right.
Speaker 2: Well, were these other options that you were looking at?
Speaker 3: I was trying, like at first, I tried like this
Speaker 3: look whereas like a leather jacket still like a like
Speaker 3: a shirt and a tie underneath it, and like different
Speaker 3: pants and weren't like traditional like dress pants, more like
Speaker 3: kind of like vintage, my old like punk rock pants. Okay,
Speaker 3: and it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't look right.
Speaker 3: I tried to go more casual with like no suit
Speaker 3: and tie, and nothing just really felt like it was
Speaker 3: CMME worthy to the point where like, if I wear this,
Speaker 3: it's gonna feel like I'm just going to the mall
Speaker 3: or something. So I was like, I just got to
Speaker 3: kind of commit to it, and I went with the suit.
Speaker 2: Well, I do think you have some super nice dress pants,
Speaker 2: Like we've talked about it a few times, where you're
Speaker 2: changing up your style and doing things. If I'm thinking
Speaker 2: of the type of pant correctly, they're kind of more
Speaker 2: like Linen old school based.
Speaker 3: Is that? Yeah, that's what vibe going for. Like, I'm
Speaker 3: really inspired by Tyler the creator right now, who is
Speaker 3: like my as of right now, like my fashion just icon,
Speaker 3: and if I had like the money to spend like
Speaker 3: he does, like that is how I would address So
Speaker 3: I was kind of going I kind of channeled that
Speaker 3: a little bit. I went shopping and tried to find
Speaker 3: some things, but I felt like everything I found was
Speaker 3: a little bit too casual still, and it was like
Speaker 3: this is cool, but probably not a ward SHOWE cool.
Speaker 2: Well, at least you were having that conversation in your
Speaker 2: head versus lunchbox. He just went with it. You could
Speaker 2: have just sent it.
Speaker 3: I guess like he did probably two outfits away from
Speaker 3: coming to something like similar that he decided to come with.
Speaker 2: But I think your reaction would have been differently because
Speaker 2: if we all asked, you've been like, guys, it was
Speaker 2: really hard, Like I kept going through outfits and it
Speaker 2: was just a whole situation.
Speaker 3: I was like five minutes before we had to leave,
Speaker 3: I was still like switching out different things because I
Speaker 3: I wasn't set on it, and it wasn't until like
Speaker 3: five minutes. I was like, I just got to put
Speaker 3: the suit on and get out of here because I
Speaker 3: was overthinking it.
Speaker 2: That's fair, okay, So that's why you ended up meeting
Speaker 2: us there? Yeah, okay, because so we some of us
Speaker 2: all met at the like our whole plane was all
Speaker 2: of us to meet at the thing. But that's a
Speaker 2: that's okay, Like you still got it and you still
Speaker 2: looked really great that night.
Speaker 3: If I'm being completely honest. At one point I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't think I want to go, and it was
Speaker 3: like I feel pressure to go to those things because
Speaker 3: I don't think pressure is the word. I feel like
Speaker 3: I don't belong there, and I feel that I get
Speaker 3: overwhelmed like so much inside my head. And I was
Speaker 3: like I would just be better off knowing not going. I
Speaker 3: don't think many people would miss me not being there.
Speaker 3: I even like told my wife like I don't know
Speaker 3: if I really want to go, and she's like, you
Speaker 3: gotta let me know right now because I'm bad to
Speaker 3: get ready. It's an hour and a half process, let
Speaker 3: me know. And then I took some time. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm good, we can go. I can get my work done.
Speaker 3: I just got to figure out what I'm gonna wear.
Speaker 2: I'm really glad you ended up because we would have
Speaker 2: missed you and we would have been bummed that you
Speaker 2: weren't there. Like it was a bummer that Bobby wasn't
Speaker 2: feeling good and he couldn't come, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like it's a it was a whole team outing. So
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you got yourself in a place where
Speaker 2: you felt good enough to come. So I'm proud of you.
Speaker 2: Like that took something, you know, to get yourself together
Speaker 2: and do that. And I've also been there. There's times
Speaker 2: where I have put on eighty million out of its
Speaker 2: and it's literally the Grinch moment where I'm like, that's it.
Speaker 2: I'm not going yeah, you know what I mean, because
Speaker 2: you're just like you're tired of it and getting around
Speaker 2: and like having this perspective on when you're going out
Speaker 2: and you're like, I have to look a certain way
Speaker 2: and feel a certain way to be doing this, when
Speaker 2: sometimes you just have to show up in the world
Speaker 2: as you are. And that's what you did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that sort of comes down to you
Speaker 3: said of like how you feel you need to look,
Speaker 3: and I felt the way I needed to look. I
Speaker 3: wasn't going to look at a picture of me dressed
Speaker 3: that way and be happy the way I look. I'm
Speaker 3: like that, it just doesn't feel like me, Like a
Speaker 3: certain tie is just not me. Yeah, but I realize that,
Speaker 3: like having this job, having to do professional things, you
Speaker 3: just have to kind of buy into that and do that,
Speaker 3: and you got to get more comfortable with that. So
Speaker 3: the only thing I kind of held on to is like,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna wear fancy dress shoes. I'm gonna wear
Speaker 3: my Doc Bartins. And that was like the one preasure me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still have it and you'll find it as
Speaker 2: you You've only been kind of really changing up your
Speaker 2: style the last few years, and I feel like it's
Speaker 2: something that takes a lot of time, many years to
Speaker 2: really cultivate and understand, Okay, this looks good on me.
Speaker 2: I like this. You have to find your things and
Speaker 2: that takes time and patience. That also, we don't really
Speaker 2: have a lot of you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's a balance of finding things that you feel good
Speaker 3: in and also look good in. Because there are certain
Speaker 3: things that my wife tells me that I look good in,
Speaker 3: but I don't feel good in and if I don't
Speaker 3: feel comfortable in it, I think my energy is just
Speaker 3: off that I'm going to feel like I feel very stiff.
Speaker 3: I don't feel like me. I don't want to take
Speaker 3: pictures because I don't like the way that I look.
Speaker 3: So I think it's having to find that medium of
Speaker 3: like I feel comfortable in this and I also look
Speaker 3: good in this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you will. You will find it. You know.
Speaker 2: You can't find it last minute on a random Wednesday
Speaker 2: where you have to go to an event, but you
Speaker 2: will find it. I'm proud of you for an end
Speaker 2: up going. Are you glad that you ended up going?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Once I was like, once I was there, we
Speaker 3: got out of you, where we got in the building,
Speaker 3: everything else just didn't matter. And that's also kind of
Speaker 3: how I feel sometimes about deciding what, Like all these
Speaker 3: things that you build up in your head, by the
Speaker 3: time you actually get to it, it doesn't really matter,
Speaker 3: Like nobody's really looking at you, and like comparing things,
Speaker 3: you're thinking about it too much, you're overthinking it. By
Speaker 3: the time you're just there and in it, it's just
Speaker 3: like you don't even think about it.
Speaker 2: No, it's true, and I would have never known that
Speaker 2: you had that whole experience until you just told me,
Speaker 2: Like you you played it off super well. At least
Speaker 2: the night. You seems like you were happy to be there.
Speaker 3: You were you shall post you Yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Were having a good time. So you played it off well.
Speaker 2: And I think you ended up leaving at some point early.
Speaker 2: It was a commercial break, so I didn't know if
Speaker 2: you guys went and hung out in the back for
Speaker 2: a while or if you ended up leaving when we.
Speaker 3: Were going to the bathroom, and then we weren't done
Speaker 3: in time to get back in, and they're like, you
Speaker 3: know what, we saw everybody we wanted to see, wanted
Speaker 3: to see post Malone, just wanted to see Shaboozie, want
Speaker 3: to see Kelsey Ballerini, Luke Combs, and after that were like,
Speaker 3: you know what, I think we're good.
Speaker 2: You did miss Post Malone come out by himself.
Speaker 3: I watch it on TV. I was like, ah, crap,
Speaker 3: I missed that one.
Speaker 2: Well hard to say that, Like nobody knew it was
Speaker 2: coming that he was going to perform twice.
Speaker 3: Yeah I did. I didn't know that either. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: we started at the beginning, Crap I missed one. And
Speaker 3: then we wanted to have seen George straight. But it
Speaker 3: was fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that was definitely towards the later end of
Speaker 2: the evening, you know, Mike d I. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you could have noticed, but Thursday, when I came
Speaker 2: into work, I was struggling, you.
Speaker 3: Stay how late did you stay up?
Speaker 2: Mike? I'm pulled an all nighter. So I didn't sleep.
Speaker 2: Didn't sleep it I didn't. It's like, wow, it was.
Speaker 2: It was not good. I was not well. I was
Speaker 2: not I was there was nothing happening in my brain.
Speaker 2: The lights were not on that morning. I went to
Speaker 2: so I stayed for the whole award show, and then
Speaker 2: there was a CMA after party. Went to the CMA
Speaker 2: after party, ended up having way too much fun, and
Speaker 2: I was like first I was like, oh no, I'll
Speaker 2: stay for a little bit. I have stuff to do whatever.
Speaker 2: So then I'm like, Okay, I'm actually having fun. I'm
Speaker 2: getting like a little bit more drunk because the night
Speaker 2: goes home because I've had several free drinks at this
Speaker 2: point and we're having a good time. And then it
Speaker 2: comes like one am. I'm like I have to go home,
Speaker 2: Like I.
Speaker 3: Need to start leaving that massive like it to get
Speaker 3: to take me twenty minutes to get home. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: my wind down and go to sleep. I can get
Speaker 3: two hours of sleep.
Speaker 2: Literally, And I'm having this whole process. And my friend Julia,
Speaker 2: who was with me, she looked at me, she goes,
Speaker 2: you got me out because she didn't go to the
Speaker 2: award show. She just came out and met me for
Speaker 2: the after party. And she was like, you got me
Speaker 2: out at ten pm on a Wednesday, and you're about
Speaker 2: to go home right now. And I said, I've been
Speaker 2: awake since three am, Like I'm literally at the point
Speaker 2: where I'm about to pull an all nighter without intentionally
Speaker 2: doing it. And she goes, it's one night, like, just
Speaker 2: come out and you can go home after you can
Speaker 2: go have another drink and then you know, get still
Speaker 2: get some sleep. And I was like, fine, I'll go
Speaker 2: to the bar for one drink. And we went to
Speaker 2: the local bar that everybody goes to that like in
Speaker 2: the industry. So of course when we show up is
Speaker 2: a giant second after party at the bar and I'm
Speaker 2: just having the best time ever. And the bar normally
Speaker 2: closes at two am. It did not. The bar did
Speaker 2: not even close because the bar was having a good time,
Speaker 2: I guess, and so we stayed out at the bar
Speaker 2: until like close to three am. And then when I
Speaker 2: got home, I was like, well, if I go to
Speaker 2: sleep now, I'm gonna get about ten minutes and it's
Speaker 2: probably gonna be worse. So I and I forgot. I
Speaker 2: didn't cook my I didn't cook my Thanksgiving. We had
Speaker 2: a hot lu like the next day, so I cooked
Speaker 2: my Thanksgiving fox look side dish at three o'clock in
Speaker 2: the morning and I got that made. I also had
Speaker 2: some friends had come back to the house with me,
Speaker 2: so we played Mario Kart and I just played my
Speaker 2: old card and kept myself a wink and told us
Speaker 2: start to come into work. So that was my CNA
Speaker 2: Awards night.
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Like, I think you look back on life
Speaker 3: and that's what you're gonna remember. You're not gonna remember
Speaker 3: the nights you got eight nine hours of sleep. You
Speaker 3: remember the nights you went out and actually did something.
Speaker 3: So I envy you for that.
Speaker 2: Well you know you say that, and I agree with you.
Speaker 2: That will be. But I'm telling you Thursday, I was like,
Speaker 2: I regret every decision I made. I am so like,
Speaker 2: you know, when you used to sit in school class
Speaker 2: and you'd be like your head was like nodding off.
Speaker 3: I was doing that.
Speaker 2: I was like, somebody's totally gonna catch me doing this
Speaker 2: because I am not well, like I need it. I
Speaker 2: am a easter leepy girl. I need sleep more than
Speaker 2: the average eman me. So staying up all night was rough.
Speaker 2: And then I also had forgotten tortilla chips for my dip,
Speaker 2: so then I had to go down to the Whole
Speaker 2: Foods and yeah, it was a whole thing. I forgot
Speaker 2: my wallet and like, it's it's been you know when
Speaker 2: you also it's just been that week where like when
Speaker 2: it rans it poors, like my dog got sick of
Speaker 2: course on CMA day, so it's just it was this
Speaker 2: whole day where finally when Thursday came, it was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: you were going to feel the repercussions of every single
Speaker 2: one of your actions right now. So it was so
Speaker 2: much fun up until about Thursday at seven am, and
Speaker 2: my body was she was done.
Speaker 3: I mean I haven't done that probably since college. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was. Whenever I was interning for the show back
Speaker 3: in Austin, I was also playing in a band, so
Speaker 3: we would go play shows and wouldn't be done till
Speaker 3: like two am, and I had to go in at
Speaker 3: five am. So there were nights like that where I
Speaker 3: would just stay up, I maybe sleep an hour and
Speaker 3: then just go straight to work. But I feel like
Speaker 3: now as an adult, I don't know if I have
Speaker 3: it and me did not sleep. See, because I used
Speaker 3: to be able to do the stay up for twenty
Speaker 3: four hours and then I would recover like after a day.
Speaker 3: I don't know that that would happen now.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm telling you right now it doesn't. Your body
Speaker 2: as an adult was like, no, you need actual sleep
Speaker 2: and normal food to function. So when you spent the
Speaker 2: entire day doing nothing but drinking alcohol and eating bad
Speaker 2: foods and then proceeding not to have any sleep in
Speaker 2: your body, yeah, I'm shutting down. You're done, Like you
Speaker 2: have to tap out at this point.
Speaker 3: Because the thing I struggle with now is whenever concerts
Speaker 3: come to town here and they're on a weeknight or
Speaker 3: they're on a Sunday, and it's like I could maybe
Speaker 3: do that for one night, get home late, sleep a
Speaker 3: little bit, and then be fine that day. It's that
Speaker 3: day after that's gonna get me because you're almost like
Speaker 3: hyper alert the first day after because you know that
Speaker 3: you went out and you can't show any signs of weekness,
Speaker 3: and you're like, Okay, I'm gonna baverager this day. It's
Speaker 3: that next day when you're exhausted that it's like, oh,
Speaker 3: I should have done that two days ago. It is.
Speaker 2: And the hangover, man, if you drink out all like
Speaker 2: the hangover as you've gotten older, will hit for like
Speaker 2: five days. Like I'm still dealing with the repercussions of
Speaker 2: my actions, and I have slept multiple like I shrip
Speaker 2: went into hibernation. I went to sleep last night on
Speaker 2: a Friday night, I like literally five pm. I said,
Speaker 2: I'm done. I don't care what the world needs for
Speaker 2: me was about to happen, whoever's gonna blowp my phone.
Speaker 2: I'm going to bed, and I'm just gonna sleep forever.
Speaker 2: So that was my CMA Awards.
Speaker 3: That's great. I just love that.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you're proud of me. But like I said,
Speaker 2: we'll see, you know, check in with me next week
Speaker 2: and see if it's still worth it, because you.
Speaker 3: Had the complete opposite experience of me. Like I left early,
Speaker 3: I was home, I went to sleep almost at my
Speaker 3: normal time. Yep.
Speaker 2: But you know the Morgan me right now is really
Speaker 2: jealous of that. The Morgan that night now she was
Speaker 2: having a great time. Different versions that exist. All right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna take one more quick break. We'll be right
Speaker 2: back speaking of all the CMA stories and interactions. So,
Speaker 2: of course, that night you run into just a whole
Speaker 2: bunch of people that you've met whatever. How do you
Speaker 2: handle the situation when somebody comes up to you, You
Speaker 2: know them, you recognize them, like, yes, I know who
Speaker 2: you are. We've had multiple interactions, but you cannot remember
Speaker 2: their name.
Speaker 3: I just I don't go for the name. I don't
Speaker 3: say anybody's name. I don't say your name.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But what happens when like there's multiple of these
Speaker 2: where I keep seeing them and I'm like, dang, I
Speaker 2: need to figure out your name somehow. If I keep
Speaker 2: running into you and.
Speaker 3: I don't know how, I guess it doesn't bother me
Speaker 3: that much because everybody's bad with names. I know what
Speaker 3: people say, like I'm bad with names. I think everybody
Speaker 3: is bad with names. But I never address anybody by
Speaker 3: their names. I've just eliminated that altogether. That I don't
Speaker 3: feel bad if I don't remember people's names. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: maybe that's fad of me. Maybe that says something about me.
Speaker 3: But I don't address anybody by their name, and I
Speaker 3: don't feel awkward about it.
Speaker 2: Well, and I don't in those same it's like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, so good to see you. But it makes
Speaker 2: it I don't know, it does make me feel bad
Speaker 2: where I'm like you, like I had this. I had
Speaker 2: these sweet people who would come up and talk about
Speaker 2: my podcast and stuff, and I'm like, dang, you're so awesome.
Speaker 2: Why can't I remember your name? And I would get
Speaker 2: so mad because it's just you meet people in passing
Speaker 2: so often.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 2: It's hard for you to like actually be able to correlate,
Speaker 2: like unless you've had a genuine, like moment experience hangout.
Speaker 2: That's when I can remember somebody's name. But if I
Speaker 2: meet you multiple times in passing, I'm gonna forget your name.
Speaker 3: I think it's because I experienced so much of it.
Speaker 3: On the other side of like doing this show, doing
Speaker 3: the Bobby Cast, where we book a lot of guests
Speaker 3: and we have artists over, I don't expect them to
Speaker 3: remember me, and I would feel weird to put them
Speaker 3: in a position of like we've met, Like, I just
Speaker 3: don't expect people to remember me. In turn, I also
Speaker 3: sometimes won't remember people if I met him for two
Speaker 3: minutes randomly. It's hard to do, so I don't expect
Speaker 3: it back in the same way. I know how hard
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe that's how most of us are in
Speaker 2: this industry. Well, like we know each other. It's fine,
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. I do like Bobby's trick. I
Speaker 2: stole that of the good to see you. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: do that too, Yeah, like that. As soon as he
Speaker 2: said that, I was like, I'm doing that. I'm stealing
Speaker 2: that forever because I need it.
Speaker 3: I guess to me, it's not so much I worry
Speaker 3: when I don't remember somebody's name. It's whether I've met
Speaker 3: them or not. Where I interacting with this person. Something
Speaker 3: in my head is going like have this person and
Speaker 3: I can't really quite pinpoint it, and I don't want
Speaker 3: to talk to them in a way that it's me
Speaker 3: meeting them for the first time if I have had
Speaker 3: an interaction with them before, because I would feel bad
Speaker 3: in that scenario, Like if I met somebody and I'm
Speaker 3: like saying things that like why are you saying this
Speaker 3: thing we've met before? That would That's where I where
Speaker 3: it gets me a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what that happened to me once
Speaker 2: this week where they were so like so confident we
Speaker 2: had met before, like familiar with each other, and I
Speaker 2: was like, God, I really don't think we've met before,
Speaker 2: like I was, you know, when you were like following
Speaker 2: the cabinet like or what's all in here? Like let
Speaker 2: me pull out memories?
Speaker 3: I think because sometimes people approach you in a way
Speaker 3: that they it feels like they've met you before. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you can't tell if they have or not, or
Speaker 3: that's just their personality.
Speaker 2: That's true, and this person definitely had that personality. So
Speaker 2: that's why I was sitting there on contemplating everything. I
Speaker 2: was like, dang it, if we've met, I don't remember it. Oh.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was one of my situations this week.
Speaker 2: So if anybody has any pro tips to either remembering
Speaker 2: names or recollecting names, give them to me. I might
Speaker 2: need to go see the brain doctor. Though. Also my brain,
Speaker 2: my brain is fried.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think me too. I feel like my brain
Speaker 3: just drops like packets of information sometimes and it's like
Speaker 3: a lost file where I'm like doing something and like
Speaker 3: that file is just missing and it's not connecting or a.
Speaker 2: Little corrupted where you get like a version of it.
Speaker 3: You're like, that doesn't feel like sure, that's not loading.
Speaker 2: Maybe we all do, but I think you and I particularly,
Speaker 2: we've talked about this a lot, where you and I
Speaker 2: are managing multiple different things, and I think that fries
Speaker 2: our brain. It definitely does, you know, like because it's overstimulated.
Speaker 3: I think even this week on the show, things have
Speaker 3: come up and I've like hopped to something and like
Speaker 3: my brain just wasn't there. And if you're listening, like
Speaker 3: the listeners will call us out and it's not a
Speaker 3: normal conversation because it's not a normal situation like in
Speaker 3: that studio. It's not the same as me talking to
Speaker 3: somebody out in public. There's like this different level that
Speaker 3: your brain is on where a simple piece of information
Speaker 3: you could recall it anytime, doesn't work in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know how you can see this so
Speaker 2: planning clearly easy trivia. Yeah, Like genuinely, just in general,
Speaker 2: when we are doing things in that room, we're operating
Speaker 2: at a different It's like how Bobby talks about aliens
Speaker 2: on a different frequency right when we're in that studio,
Speaker 2: different frequency than a normal day to day Morgan frequency
Speaker 2: or Mike frequency.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like you're doing like three magic tricks at once.
Speaker 3: You're like spinning plates, riding on a unicycle, and also
Speaker 3: trying to kick a soccer ball. Yes, doing all those
Speaker 3: things at the same time, and you're like, why can't
Speaker 3: you kick that soccer ball? Well, I'm also spinning these
Speaker 3: plates and doing and writing down this unicycle. That's why
Speaker 3: I can't kick the soccer ball.
Speaker 2: That's exactly why. And then people like why did you
Speaker 2: do it this way? Or why did you say that?
Speaker 2: I'm like, honestly, I don't know. I wish I could
Speaker 2: tell you.
Speaker 3: There's so many that I honestly don't know. Even like
Speaker 3: when I do my podcast, I'm going back and like
Speaker 3: editing it, I'm like, why did I even say that
Speaker 3: word that? That's not something I would ever say. That
Speaker 3: word makes no sense. Oh, I know I didn't mean
Speaker 3: to say that word, And I sound so confident saying
Speaker 3: get there. I don't know why you know.
Speaker 2: Another one that's always funny part like in this too
Speaker 2: is that Bobby will say, hey, like come up with this.
Speaker 2: It'll be something on the fly, and I'm like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: this works. But then like three hours later, I'm like, dang,
Speaker 2: I had a really good story that really would have
Speaker 2: gone there, and now we've already done it, so I
Speaker 2: can't go back to that. Like it just it just
Speaker 2: has to be not a story that ever gets shared.
Speaker 2: Those are the worst. Or I'm like, I wish I
Speaker 2: could my brain was because it's so like circuit fried.
Speaker 2: It just can't recollect things in that moment. There's some
Speaker 2: days where I come in and it is on, but
Speaker 2: there's other days I come in and it is mush.
Speaker 3: And then you think about it driving home You're like, ah,
Speaker 3: that's what it was.
Speaker 1: See.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are the worst. That that calling back to
Speaker 2: all the previous files that are corrupted, destroyed everything. Also,
Speaker 2: I need your opinion. You like Christmas? Right, you like
Speaker 2: the holidays?
Speaker 3: I don't know what that iss?
Speaker 2: Well, okay, hold on, let me afraid this.
Speaker 3: People who love like you love ye. My wife loves Christmas.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: I didn't really even like it until I was with
Speaker 3: my wife, and how much she loves it has rubbed
Speaker 3: off on me.
Speaker 2: That's that's where I was going with it because I
Speaker 2: want to say we talked about this last year, your
Speaker 2: experiences with Christmas and why, but also your wife has,
Speaker 2: like you know, brought you to the light side.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't say dark day because Christmas is very light,
Speaker 2: lots of lights. But I ask you this as someone
Speaker 2: who has both perspectives. I bought an inflatable Highland cow
Speaker 2: that since in my yard and that's a Christmas ad.
Speaker 2: But I got told by a lot of people that
Speaker 2: I was tacky.
Speaker 3: Isn't a tacky People think that those are the inflatable
Speaker 3: things are tacky. I think they're fun and awesome, right.
Speaker 2: I feel like it adds a different level of joy
Speaker 2: to the front yard.
Speaker 3: It's just fun. It's like an ornament for your yard.
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you What makes a tacky?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you would be surprised, Mike. I
Speaker 2: got told multiple times I was so excited about this cow.
Speaker 2: Not only did I like see it one time and
Speaker 2: be like I kind of want that and then go
Speaker 2: back and get it. I literally was in so much
Speaker 2: doy that you would have thought as you watched me
Speaker 2: walk through Walmart with this that I was like a
Speaker 2: little kid that just got told I could buy my
Speaker 2: favorite toy.
Speaker 3: Isn't that a good feeling? It is like now as
Speaker 3: an adult, you go in and you're like, can I
Speaker 3: get this? You're like, wait, I'm an adult. I can't
Speaker 3: get this. There's nobody telling me I can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have to get anybody's approval. I was
Speaker 2: checking my money. Have you had that moment recently with
Speaker 2: something where you like bought it and you're kicking, screaming, giggling.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Something I haven't really shared that I've gotten into
Speaker 3: recently is figure collecting, and I think there's like a
Speaker 3: community of adults that are reverting back to a time
Speaker 3: where they couldn't buy things when they were younger. So
Speaker 3: now as an adult you can. So like one time
Speaker 3: I went to Target and I found like this Iron
Speaker 3: Man figure that if I was a kid, I could
Speaker 3: have never afford. It was like twenty four bucks, and
Speaker 3: I had like this moment of like, I don't know
Speaker 3: if I can afford it, and I was like, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, I'm an adult. I can buy this. And
Speaker 3: I was like it was like this little joy that
Speaker 3: made me happy of being able to do something that
Speaker 3: I wanted to do as a kid. Now I'm able
Speaker 3: to do it, and it just felt like, oh that
Speaker 3: that was cool, Like that was fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you did get you at the Little Joy?
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: How many do you have now? At this point? I
Speaker 2: think I put.
Speaker 3: Them all in like the back display of my studio,
Speaker 3: so like whenever I record my podcast, you can see
Speaker 3: them behind me. There's probably like six behind there now
Speaker 3: at this point.
Speaker 2: And you're super specific about which ones you're getting, like
Speaker 2: there's particular ones you want.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of them are based on either
Speaker 3: my favorite superheroes of all time or my favorite comic books.
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to find things that are all just
Speaker 3: have been my favorite for a very long time and
Speaker 3: are meaningful to me in some way.
Speaker 2: Have you been to McKay's.
Speaker 3: Oh I love McCay's.
Speaker 2: Okay, do they have that like what you're looking for there?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I found some great stuff there. Okay.
Speaker 2: That's where I recently went with my new obsession of
Speaker 2: records and vinyls, which I don't understand. Are they interchangeable?
Speaker 3: Do you know?
Speaker 2: Are they the same records?
Speaker 3: Finals? Yeah, records vinyl I think it's already plural and
Speaker 3: singular at the same time.
Speaker 2: Well, because I say that because it's called it's like
Speaker 2: called a record player. But then you're getting vinyls, but
Speaker 2: aren't they I went down a whole rabbit hole. Anyways,
Speaker 2: I was there and I was looking for old vinyls
Speaker 2: and stuff, and that place was packed. But I remember
Speaker 2: seeing what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy going there and seeing how a live
Speaker 3: physical media still is, which is something I love, Like,
Speaker 3: if I had the space for it, I would still
Speaker 3: buy VHS tapes and DVDs and Blu rays because I
Speaker 3: just love the idea of actually owning something. And if
Speaker 3: you look, you know, online, seeing like, oh, sales are down,
Speaker 3: but there's still a community, because you'd be surprised, like
Speaker 3: I'll go to McKay's when it opens at nine am
Speaker 3: and there's a line of people waiting to get in
Speaker 3: there to sell things and buy things, and the lines
Speaker 3: are full. It just kind of makes you happy, like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is actually still existing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to say we'veted in a little bit
Speaker 2: where I think people are getting tired of everything being digital.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think especially when it comes to music and
Speaker 3: seeing people buy records because you can actually like hold
Speaker 3: it the art is on like big display, because now,
Speaker 3: like I feel like album art is kind of gone
Speaker 3: away because it's just on our phone and like a
Speaker 3: small little square. But when you buy a record, you
Speaker 3: can like look at the art, you can pull out,
Speaker 3: read the lyrics, you can actually put it on something
Speaker 3: and listen to it, and your intent is different. So
Speaker 3: I used to be bigger into record collecting, but I
Speaker 3: also kind of ran out of space and my record
Speaker 3: player doesn't work anymore, so I think once I get
Speaker 3: a new record player, i'd probably get back into it.
Speaker 3: I did buy the Post Malone album on on vinyl,
Speaker 3: just because that was like a significant win for me
Speaker 3: to have, But I've gotten out of like going through
Speaker 3: bins and searching for things at this point, unless there's
Speaker 3: like a big album that comes out that I want
Speaker 3: to own. Like I do still want to get the
Speaker 3: title of the creator's new album on record, just because
Speaker 3: I have his album right now behind on my wall
Speaker 3: like displayed, so I'd like to update that. But yeah,
Speaker 3: it's great to get into. I think I just got
Speaker 3: to a point where I was only buying records for
Speaker 3: the sake of collecting them and not listening to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that, but it is a thing to still
Speaker 2: be a collection. That's still a cool hobby to collect things.
Speaker 2: But I do get what you're saying, because otherwise it's
Speaker 2: sitting there collecting dust and kind of like why do
Speaker 2: I have it?
Speaker 3: I also think of it in a way of that
Speaker 3: is like the only time I really support some of
Speaker 3: my favorite artists, because I think about when I just
Speaker 3: stream their music, they're not making much off of that
Speaker 3: unless I go see them in concert. There are some
Speaker 3: artists that I've never seen them live, I've never bought
Speaker 3: a T shirt, I've never paid for their music, so
Speaker 3: I feel like buying their record is kind of giving
Speaker 3: something back to them.
Speaker 2: That's a cool perspective. I guess I've never really looked
Speaker 2: at it that way, but yeah, you're right, I mean,
Speaker 2: because streaming music has changed it, and obviously you're supporting them.
Speaker 2: They make royalties off of that stuff, But to your
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, in the way that
Speaker 2: we used to support artists, yeah, it's not. So that's
Speaker 2: a cool way to look at it too. I mean,
Speaker 2: the one of the ones I bought was being Crosby,
Speaker 2: and I don't think I can support him anymore, but
Speaker 2: you know it's keeping his memory alive. His record is
Speaker 2: really cool. It looks like a candy cane. The chirstest
Speaker 2: one that I got.
Speaker 3: I love the colored vinyl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are cool. Most of them are black. And
Speaker 2: then I did get a little mini one, but I'm
Speaker 2: not really sure how that one works.
Speaker 3: So is it the like the seven inch?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I got a move. I can't
Speaker 2: listen the record. Of course, everything I do is the
Speaker 2: extended version. Essentially what the record player I got I
Speaker 2: saw in the reviews is like you're gonna have to
Speaker 2: put together a little bit, but it's good for you
Speaker 2: to understand how this works. It's like, cool, Okay, give
Speaker 2: me the task. I can do it. It comes in Mike,
Speaker 2: and I was like freaking out. I was sitting there
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm not gonna figure this out.
Speaker 2: And then it didn't work and it kept the needle
Speaker 2: kept like moving off. I was like, I'm gonna ruin
Speaker 2: all these records, and I was stressing out, and I
Speaker 2: was like I got so excited, like I had this
Speaker 2: huge high of like it working, and then just like
Speaker 2: straight down because I was like I don't know what's
Speaker 2: going on. But now that I have the little one,
Speaker 2: I figured it out. It was a day of figuring
Speaker 2: it out, but I did. And now that I have
Speaker 2: a little one, though, I'm like, I don't want to
Speaker 2: mess with this, I might just look up that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's the twelve inch or like the big ones,
Speaker 3: and then they make a smaller one that's like a
Speaker 3: seven inch, which is usually like two to three songs
Speaker 3: on it, usually just two, and you have to play
Speaker 3: it at a different speed. So the big records I
Speaker 3: believe were thirty three and a half rpm, and then
Speaker 3: the smaller ones you have to switch it and run
Speaker 3: it at forty five rpm.
Speaker 2: Do you know why they would make some bigger and some.
Speaker 3: Smaller Because a record can only hold a certain amount
Speaker 3: of information on it. So if they're only putting like
Speaker 3: one or two songs, they can put it on a
Speaker 3: smaller record. It's cheaper to make, and then since it's smaller,
Speaker 3: you have to play it at a higher speed to
Speaker 3: still have the same revolution so it still sounds the same.
Speaker 3: So it's really just comes down to like they would
Speaker 3: only put those out as like singles, so like, hey,
Speaker 3: there's one song we want to put out and a
Speaker 3: B side on it, So here's the single. A lot
Speaker 3: of those they would send to a record I mean
Speaker 3: to radio stations back in the day that were just
Speaker 3: playing one song. They would just put on the smaller
Speaker 3: record play that. But still people put them out. It's
Speaker 3: like little special things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like nostalgia almost. Dang, that's cool. You just tell
Speaker 2: me a lot that I didn't know about any of that.
Speaker 3: I mean I used to be way into it. I think,
Speaker 3: like growing up listening to punk rock, like those are huge,
Speaker 3: Like the seven inch, like the singles were huge. Those
Speaker 3: were more like a collector's item because they were cheaper
Speaker 3: to make, so people would make like different covers, different
Speaker 3: variants of the color of record you could get. So
Speaker 3: I was big and I still have a lot of those.
Speaker 2: Dang. Okay, Well we could keep talking about this forever
Speaker 2: because now I'm so obsessed. But we're gonna jump out
Speaker 2: and go do some other stuff, like, you know, because
Speaker 2: Mike and I have eighty million things that were balancing,
Speaker 2: So we're gonna jump out of here. Tell the people
Speaker 2: where they can find you. Hear you all that good stuff.
Speaker 3: You can listen to my podcast movie Mike's Movie Podcast
Speaker 3: Spoiler free movie reviews. And also if you don't like movies,
Speaker 3: I find that just talking about movies is talking about live.
Speaker 3: The way I approach my reviews is I always like
Speaker 3: to give away a little piece of myself in every review,
Speaker 3: because if you're talking talking about a story with characters
Speaker 3: going through things, you're going to end up talking about
Speaker 3: how they affect you and what you relate to. So
Speaker 3: I always try to find, like, what, how do I
Speaker 3: relate to this movie and how can somebody listening to
Speaker 3: it also relate to it in that way even if
Speaker 3: you don't see the movie, it's just talking about life.
Speaker 3: So on that aspect to check out.
Speaker 2: The podcast Yeah, Life Lessons and Movies with Mi. I
Speaker 2: like it, and you can check out my podcast Take

Speaker 2: situation when I went through bullying. She was my safe
Speaker 2: space the classroom that she was at, and she also,
Speaker 2: after my situation, went back to school to become the
Speaker 2: high school counselor instead of a math teacher. Because she
Speaker 2: didn't like what she was seeing and what she was
