WEBVTT - Best Bits: Mike D On Why He’ll Never Post His Spiderman Tattoo & Morgan Had Another Funny Uber 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:03.920 The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part. 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:07.200 One behind the scene with a member of the show. 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.760 What's up, everybody? Welcome Best Bits this weekend. You're on 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.080 part one and Mike D is joining me. Mike, how 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:15.200 are you feeling to any good? 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:16.640 I'm back, You are back. 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:17.880 Feels like you're just here. 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.520 This is my favorite thing to do on Saturdays. 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:24.760 Oh boy, were continuing that one lunchbox deals with that line? Now, 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.319 Mike D isn't all that okay? How is life going 0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:30.440 for you right now? How are you and your wife? 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.920 I think we're good. I think we're just trying to 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.680 live life right now. I think we're both like well 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.800 into our thirties and realizing that we kind of like 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:40.920 having the flexibility of not having kids. 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:42.400 That makes sense. 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.239 She's in a point in her life where all of 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.080 her friends pretty much either have kids are currently pregnant. 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.479 She only has a couple of friends who don't have 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.920 any kids like us. And I think it's realizing that 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.720 we know that we want that eventually. I think still, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.000 but right now we're like kind of like it, like 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.120 we just switched our vacation plans last minute, and we're 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.399 like we can really only do that right now, in 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.039 this phase of life where we don't have to worry 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:09.720 about that. 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.480 Is there any discussion of where that's like not a 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:17.760 possibility as you guys continue to stay in your happy place. 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:21.400 I think so. I think we're like we see how 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.720 much work it is, and we know like that's a 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.160 big commitment. So I think we're two people who overthink 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.760 a lot. So I think it's it could really kind 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.600 of go either way, like we want it. We can 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.280 see that like having a family would be great. We 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.200 could also see it like just being us. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.080 That's fair. Okay, Well that's kind of a big update. 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.840 That's a lot happening. Any other exciting things besides the 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.240 big kid conversation. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.160 I think that's the main thing. I think it's just 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.800 seeing like I've always thought, like the weird thing of 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.080 my family, like I have an older brother, older sister, 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.680 neither of them have kids, so my parents aren't grandparents 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.320 and they've never pressured us. And I think in Mexican culture, sure, 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.440 really in any culture, there's always this pressure for your parents, 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:04.720 like when you're gonna give me a grand kid, when 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:06.080 you're gonna give me a grand kid. And I think 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.440 my mom and my dad never really wanted to put 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.720 that pressure on us because they saw like their brothers 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.480 and sisters doing that to their kids, and some people 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.200 just had kids for the sake, got kids to make 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.400 people happy, So they never did that to us. But 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.480 I think right now I kind of feel a little 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.600 bit like they're not going to come outright and tell us, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.680 but there's kind of like this, you know, it would 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.800 be nice to have like some grandkids because they're in 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:28.440 their sixties. 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.720 Now, do you think either of your siblings are gonna 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:31.880 have kids at some point? 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.880 I don't think so. My older sister was married now divorced, 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:40.760 so I don't think she will have kids now, which 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.160 is weird to say. And then my brother at one 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.880 point was trying to have kids. And now I think 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:48.840 they're kind of where we are, Like, I don't know, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:49.880 like it's it's hard. 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:53.840 Yeah, it's definitely a hard topic to talk about. Okay, well, 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.639 talk about an exciting thing. I don't have much exciting 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.360 right now, Mike. I did learn what my blood type is, though, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.400 what is it? Well, at least I think it is 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.560 thanks to you, well, thanks to mosquitoes. So anytime I 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.840 step outside right now, I'm immediately attacked, I'll go back inside, 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.200 and I have fifteen mosquito bites. Okay, And so I 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.120 did some research. I was like, why why am I 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.600 getting bit? And apparently mosquitoes are more attracted to an 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.320 old blood type of blood. 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:21.680 You think they could smell it? 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.840 Yeah, Like, I think there's a specific blood they like, 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.519 and that's why some people get attacked and others don't 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:28.639 get ever attacked. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.160 Do you think they can smell it? Or you think 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.520 they bite you and then if they realize you have, oh, 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:35.560 they keep biting you. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.920 Maybe that's it, Like maybe that my smell attracts them 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:41.720 is what starts it. And then they're like, oh, this 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.960 is good blood. I'm going to stay and let me, 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.600 let me do this a few more times. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.360 Because oh it is like the universal donor, right I think? 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.240 So I wrote negative one of those. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.280 Yeah, and I don't know if I'm making it more positive. 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.280 All I know is at least the old blood type 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.840 is the tends to be the most attractive to mosquitoes. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:01.040 I should probably know that, but I don't. So I 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.520 learned from mosquitos that I have a blood that's as 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:04.600 exciting as my life is. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.680 Right now, I feel like that's important to know. That's 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.240 something that I feel comes in handy when you but 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:11.000 you never know it. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:12.720 Yeah, do you know yours? 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.480 No idea? I remember. I think the last time I 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.320 got a physical, they draw your blood. That's always kind 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.160 of weird to see, Like the thing just fill up 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:21.120 with your blood and you're like. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.000 Whoa and you watch it. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.280 Yeah. I feel like they're supposed to tell you that 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.839 at some point, or maybe you do and you just 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.160 don't think it's important to remember that information. Do they 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.640 ever tell you that when you get your bood drawn? 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.400 I don't think when you get a drawn. I think 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.080 maybe just when you donate blood. I don't think I've 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.040 ever donated blood. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:40.400 I haven't either. I've always been to my like when 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.159 I especially in high school, we did the blood drives 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.880 and stuff like I was too thin in my thing, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.760 and I like anytime. They're like, if you try, you're 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.600 going to pass out. And I was like, well that's 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.000 good because I don't really want to it either. I 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.320 don't like needles. They scare me. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.159 I remember that. I don't know if it's true or not, 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.000 but I heard that if you have tattoos, you can't 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.480 donate blood or maybe like around if you had them fresh. Yeah. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.640 I was like, maybe I can't donate blood. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.560 Yeah, because I think it's something with like the tattoo 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.839 ink that goes into your skin. I think I don't 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:10.920 know if that's like still the case, or technology has 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.159 come further to like get that out of the blood, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:14.839 or if that's all the same thing. I should probably 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.640 google it. I'm sitting here on it. I can google. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:19.880 I mean, the more I read about getting tattoos and 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.640 how unhealthy they are and finding things later in life 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.560 like they could contribute to some sickness or something, I'm like, yeah, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.040 it probably doesn't make sense that you get something permanently 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:29.720 on your body. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.000 So it says you can donate blood if you have tattoos, 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.120 if you meet all other eligibility requirements and the tattoo 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.839 meets certain conditions. The tattoo is applied within the last 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.520 three months, the tattoo is completely healed. The tattoo is 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.120 applied by a state regulated facility that you sterilize needles 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.000 in fresh ink. 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.479 No, well, I got mine in a back alley, so 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:49.840 I'm out. 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.520 Yeah, unclean tattoo needles. Man, that's what the FDA says. 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.280 You can't you have to wait at least three months 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.240 after getting a tattoo before donating blood. Interesting, I did 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.600 know there was something with it, so you know, who knows? 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.120 How is your new tattoo doing? Are you obsessed with it? Still? 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.120 Yeah, it's like perfectly healed. And now it's at that 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.880 point where I love it and I associate my body 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.279 with it now because it's weird. When you get a 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.920 new tattoo, you love it because you spend so much 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.039 time thinking about it. For me, I always like put 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:22.080 it on my phone and if I love it after 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.240 a month still after looking at it on my background, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.680 then I'm good. But also, like, right when you get it, 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.000 you have this moment where you're like, did I make 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.520 the right decision? Does it actually look good? Am I 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.400 actually gonna want this on my body for the rest 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.360 of my life? And I think it takes a good 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.360 three months to see yourself in the mirror, see it 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.640 in passing that you just get used to it, and like, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.279 right now I'm at that point where I'm like, Okay, 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.280 this is like the right move I made and it 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:48.320 fits with my body. 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.600 Interesting, I don't have any tattoos, so it's an interesting 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.159 perspective that I wouldn't have had. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.040 Because you realize how permanent it is, because when you 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:57.480 get it, you're like, oh, this is gonna be fun. 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.640 The whole process of getting a tattoo, it was fun, 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.839 like taking them before and after pictures, seeing how it 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.280 turns out, and then you have like that week of 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.520 like just at healing and everything. But then it takes 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.440 a while for you to really think, like, man, this 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.520 is all my body forever. Am I going to like this? 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.640 So I think that's why you always got to lean 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.440 with something that you've loved at one point but also 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.239 looks cool. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.520 Okay, this is some pro tattoo advice from Mike D. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:26.760 Why haven't you posted a picture of it yet? 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:28.320 I don't know, Like. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.720 I think I I got this tattoo so much for 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:36.440 me that I didn't want valid I didn't want or 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.080 need validation from anybody else because I think this was 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.840 me really leaning into my nerdy tendencies that I've had 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:44.760 throughout my entire life that I've always kind of been 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.520 ashamed of. And it really wasn't until like a couple 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.520 of years ago that I got more comfortable with it. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.920 That probably once I hit my thirties that I realized 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.360 that I'm into these things. I've always been into these things. 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.960 I guess I've always kind of thought that I had 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.640 to be like cool or something at some point, and 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.440 then I realized, I've never been cool. Why am I 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.600 worried about how I appear to other people who maybe 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:08.600 have this skewed sense that I'm cool at any point. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:14.880 So I've leaned more into like enjoying comic books, collecting things, 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.600 and all those nerdy movies that I've been into forever. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:19.800 That I realized, I'm going to get this because I 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.040 want it. I don't care what anybody else is going 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.680 to say about it, because I'm the one who has 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.360 to live with it. So I think I didn't post 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.760 it because I'm like, I don't want the negative stuff. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.720 I'm like, why would you get a Spider Man tattoo 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.360 because there's some people who aren't going to get it? 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.080 Yeah, that's true, And you want to keep it a 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.840 positive thing because it's something that you were really excited about. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.200 Yeah, because it's always those one negative comments you get 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:41.880 that just stay with you. And I was like, if 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.400 I just get one negative comment, I'm going to remember 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.360 that forever and think about it when I look at it. 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.520 So I'll never post like a full on like here's 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.280 my tattoo, but it's like in pictures. So mm hmm. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.960 I'm just like, I don't want to have that mental thing, 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.160 that mental hurdle of like, oh, this one person in 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.480 North Dakota didn't like it. They call me a nerd. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.720 I'm gonna get it removed to cover it up. 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.120 Yeah, no, you don't want that, and you deserve to 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.120 be happy with this, So totally makes sense. Keep it 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.240 to yourself. You don't ever have to post it. That's 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.920 something you can keep. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:16.200 We'll be right back, Mike. I need your thoughts on 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:20.559 this situation. So I had another funny Uber situation that 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.240 kind of you and the ubers man. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.600 You got like something on your profile because for me, 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.440 I always get a minivan you always, no matter what, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.280 if I get an Uber Excel, it's always a minivan. 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.200 So I think there's something on my profile like give 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:34.160 this guy a minivan. 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:35.960 I do kind of feel like Uber might do that 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.960 on some leble to mess with us. I get some 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:41.160 interesting interactions. So, and the reason I'm asking you is 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.800 because you also speak Spanish, and so maybe this was 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.160 somebody who was just messing with me. Maybe it was 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.520 an honest situation. I don't know. So I was riding 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.400 in the back and the uber insisted on leaving his 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:55.280 windows down up front, and we were going somewhere, not 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.320 like coming back, we were coming back. I'd be like, okay, whatever, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.319 it's my hair is gonna mess up, but we're headed 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:04.160 to an event. And so I tried to like be like, hey, 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.520 can we roll the windows up for this ride? And 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.200 he just his automatic responses, sorry, don't speak English, and 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.360 so I was like, okay, uh, windows like and I 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:15.920 pointed to him and I was like, can we put 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.600 it like? And I did the up motion like I 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.640 was trying really hard to just like kindly be like 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.520 the windows up, and I maybe like he genuinely didn't 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.640 understand me, but he just kept repeating, I don't speak English, 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.160 and so I was like okay. So after like the 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.240 third time I asked, I just gave up and I 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.000 just don't want the fact that the windows were down 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.280 the whole ride. Do you think he could understand me 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.240 or like at least understood my emotions? And he just 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.439 chose to ignore me, or he just genuinely didn't know 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:43.280 what I was talking about. 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.560 I think from my experience, he probably understood you. And 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.800 he just likes his windows down, because I've gotten in 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.080 some ubers where they should put the windows up, and 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.640 I think maybe either his like AC was out, or 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:57.280 some people think they save gas by keeping their windows down, and. 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.320 I I wonder if that's actually true, don't. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.400 I don't think it's true. I think the wind resistance 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.120 coming in through the windows actually slows down your car, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.520 so you end up using either the same or more 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.600 gas because of that. So it's probably just the comfort thing. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.559 So I think he understood it if you did the 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:12.679 windows up thing he did. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.280 I pointed to the windows, and I say, up. 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.840 I think it's a comfort thing. 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.200 Yeah. It was an interesting dynamic and I was like, okay, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.760 So for fifteen minutes I just sat in the back, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.959 sat the windows down the entire ride. We were on 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:23.959 the highway and everything. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.520 Yeah, the worst Uber experiences I have is windows Sometimes 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.120 it's windows up, no AC and no music. You're like, 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.679 what is this torture chamber? 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.839 Like, Uh, they're just totally okay with the hot box 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.760 that they're currently in. Yeah. Okay, so well that makes 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.440 you feel better, because I felt really bad. I was like, 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.200 maybe he just doesn't understand what I'm saying. I'm really 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:47.400 missing the boat here. Okay. Post Malone's album is out 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.920 this weekend. Yeah, and that's your guy. How are you feeling? 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:50.920 It's this country album. 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.320 I'm kind of at a sigh of relief because the 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.880 first couple singles that came out from it I felt 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.480 were very what I would call commercial country, which are 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.800 gonna be some that sound really good on the radio. 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.679 The Morgan Wallin song, the Blake Shelton song, which I 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.040 like those, But when I sit down to listen to 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.000 post Malone music, that's not really what I associate with it. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.120 I associate that more with the song we play on 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.320 the show, so that's not necessarily the music I go 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.480 home and listen to. But I still thought those songs 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.440 were good. And the album has been out. I've listened 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.480 to it at the time of this two times, all 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.880 the way through, and I like it a lot. There's 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.600 the sadder country songs that I was looking for, and 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.200 they're also just like different, almost feel like the different 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.240 eras of country represented on this album, like the old 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.800 school sixties, fifties stuff, the two thousands, and like more 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.080 so probably leaning into what's happening now because he has 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.079 a lot of his current artists on it. But I 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.360 think there's a good mixture of everything where it feels 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.160 completely different and completely fresh. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.760 Okay, and what is your favorite song so far? 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.280 I think the first song with Tim McGraw because it 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.920 has like this, you know, I always like the songs 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.440 that well they kick off the album, but also I 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.480 can visualize them starting the show with so I'm starting 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.000 to think of the show that he's doing here at 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.920 Nissan at the Stadium. Like that song sounds like a 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.160 big opener because it kind of has like this grit 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.600 to it, like the big guitars, the big drums, and 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.920 it just feels like that song that instantly sucks you in. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.720 So so far, that's my favorite. The Stapleton is probably 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.920 my second favorite, is because hearing Chris Stapleton's voice mixed 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.120 with post Malone is like, those are two really prominent 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.400 voices on one song. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.439 That's so true. I haven't listened to any of it yet, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.440 and I really want to, but I was waiting for 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.160 all to be out and like see what people were 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.760 responding to everything, and I was prepared. Is there like moult, 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.920 is every song a collaboration. 0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:42.000 I think there's only maybe two or three songs that 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:44.240 are just him. He has the one song about his 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:48.679 daughter that's just him, but I think most of them 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.640 are collaborations. There's like two songs with Luke Comb's on it, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:52.760 is there? Yeah? 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.439 Interesting? Maybe Luke Combs is his favorite guy in country music. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.280 They have been friends for a long time, like way 0:13:57.360 --> 0:14:00.400 before he was even teasing this album. One of his 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.640 first trips to Nashville, Like I saw them hanging out. 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.840 You know that is interesting. Luke COM's is really good 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.760 friends with Post Malone. He's really good friends with Ed 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.480 sheeranlu Luke has some interesting friendships that I don't know 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.320 that anybody would have connected, you know what I mean. Okay, 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.800 so Post Malone weekend. Will you be listening to it 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:18.520 on your runs? Or is this more of just gonna 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.400 be an enjoyable album. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.800 I think it's just an enjoyable album. When I run, 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.200 I need like fast paced, like very music that's gonna 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.240 pump you up. I don't feel like any of those 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.200 songs that maybe the first maybe the tim McGrath song 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.080 a little bit, but I really don't listen to country 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.160 at all when I work out, so this is more 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.280 a driving album or like when I work at home album. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.200 All Right, you got it? That's from the Post. What 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.040 are post malone like? You know how Swifties or Taylor Swish? 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:44.200 What are post malone people? 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.440 I don't think they have a name, malonners, posts posts. 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.800 Maybe that is the post post mates. These are all 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.960 good ones if he's not using any of me. What's 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:59.720 something super weird that you like to snack on? I've 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:03.640 really that. I I'm a big black olive and green 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.880 olive person, and I'll have like just random olves in 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.560 my fridge and I like to randomly snack on olives. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.920 Do you have a random snack that you're like? People 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.960 will probably find the psycho behavior olives. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.640 I will only eat as a less resort because sometimes 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.320 when I go to restaurants and the one vegan appetizer 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.160 is olives, I'm like, well that's all. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.520 I have here, really, But do you like them or 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:23.880 it's just like to survive. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.200 I don't not like them, but they're such a strong 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.120 taste and that's the only way I can describe it 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:33.120 like you bite into an olive and it's so like dominant, 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.000 where it's like I'm going to be tasting this for 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:35.880 the rest of the day. 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.360 That is true. I mean I think I just love 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:39.440 the saltiness of them. 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:41.640 I think that's what it is. It's so I guess 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.600 that's with the flavoring, right, It's just like salty sodium, Yeah, sodium. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.320 I tend to not like things with a lot of salt. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.200 Like if I can get chips with no salt, that's 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:52.760 what I prefer. 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.800 You're telling me you go to a Mexican restaurant and 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.760 you're like, I would like tour tea chips with no salt. 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.320 If they have the option. If I go to the 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.680 grocery store get tortilla chips, I get the no salt. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:03.720 Not because if it's not even a healthing. I just 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.800 like the flavor more. I feel like you get the 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.320 flavor better with no salt. Otherwise I'm just tasting salt. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.680 The salt is what makes it so cunchy and tasty. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.240 I just like the straight flavor. I think I'm also 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.040 that way with like sauces and hot sauces, Like I 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.280 want the flavor of the food more so than the sauce, 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.960 because like when it comes to spice, I can handle spicy. 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.160 I grew up eating spicy things, but I feel when 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.680 it's so spicy, it takes away from the flavor of 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.440 the food and you're just tasting the heat. So I'm 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.160 very much like I want the actual food to taste good. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:36.520 I don't need all the things on it. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:42.120 That makes sense, but also kind of zarchopoppya yeah wow, 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.840 especially as someone who has to like tofu and other 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.040 things where you have to really add a lot of flavoring, 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:52.400 that shocks me. Especially like veggies. Yeah, you're just not 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:53.880 adding salt onto any of that. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.040 If anything like black pepper, and then I'll make like 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.440 veggies that give the flavor to it, like onions, bell pepper, tomato, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.960 like other vegetables that add flavor to the else you're making. Yeah, 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.440 but straight up like, yeah, I don't really cook with salt, 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.240 so I bet to other people the food I eat 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.159 is super bland and you would hate my cooking. But 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:13.000 that's how I like it. 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.520 Does your wife like it that way? 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.920
