Speaker 1: Best Bits of the Week with Morgan listener Q and A.
Speaker 2: We're Here is part three times Mike Dy's joining me, Hello,
Speaker 2: Mike Hello, Like we didn't just have a full long
Speaker 2: conversation number in part one.
Speaker 1: But got here, we are we are just here.
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with some shout outs. Mike Dy's laugh
Speaker 2: in the background of the show is my absolute favorite.
Speaker 1: That's from Samantha.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it takes a lot to get me to laugh
Speaker 3: really good, but yeah, it gets in there sometimes.
Speaker 2: Well chuckle. You two are amazing, Jenna and Maryland. Mike
Speaker 2: and his wife are the cutest. Love when you have
Speaker 2: him on Best Bits. That's from Erica, Thank you. And
Speaker 2: then we also have Mike Dy's killing it behind the
Speaker 2: scenes of games and segment ideas Danielle from Indiana.
Speaker 3: He appreciate it, So you feel good. I do feel good.
Speaker 3: It's hard for me to get a compliments, So thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1: It's why we do shout outs. It's important.
Speaker 2: Are you running any marathons anytime soon? Katie and Maryland?
Speaker 3: I thought about running the one here in Nashville that's
Speaker 3: coming up. I believe even April is.
Speaker 1: That that's not the rock and roll one, is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It is, Yeah, that's that one. That's the only
Speaker 3: one I've run here, mainly because I've just continued to
Speaker 3: like run and not really train for anything specifically. And
Speaker 3: the last time I did it was a couple of
Speaker 3: years ago, and I told myself that was the last
Speaker 3: time ever.
Speaker 1: Why was it the last time ever?
Speaker 3: Because I don't think I'm gonna get a better time
Speaker 3: than I did that time. I ran it in three
Speaker 3: hours and twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 2: What do you run a marathon? I mean, you run
Speaker 2: a marathon on a Saturday. Now what do you run
Speaker 2: that in?
Speaker 3: I can run twenty miles in under three hours, so
Speaker 3: that's another six miles. I don't know that I could
Speaker 3: do it. That would probably be like a three forty five,
Speaker 3: closer to like three p fifty I think.
Speaker 1: So you want to stay ending on your best one.
Speaker 3: I kind of just want to end on the best
Speaker 3: one because I'm not really running to prove anything at
Speaker 3: this point. So it is hard for me to do
Speaker 3: it race because I get competitive with myself, and that
Speaker 3: is the problem I have. Like I can run it,
Speaker 3: no problem. Like if I ran it, I could run
Speaker 3: a marathon on my own on a Sunday, and I
Speaker 3: would I'd be fine. It's whenever I get into race
Speaker 3: mentality that I overwork myself. Like my problem is I
Speaker 3: start out really strong because I'm like, I gotta crush it.
Speaker 3: I gotta be all these people. I gotta get this
Speaker 3: fast time. I would do so much better after running
Speaker 3: two if I stayed with like the pacer where they
Speaker 3: have the people running with like the sticks of the times,
Speaker 3: Like if I just stayed with that group, I would
Speaker 3: have a probably a much better experience because I wouldn't
Speaker 3: exhaust myself as much because I get to a point
Speaker 3: where I'm like, I have a great time, but around
Speaker 3: like mile twenty two, my body just like shutting down
Speaker 3: when things happen, like my legs stop working, and I
Speaker 3: overworked myself. So I think there's this mental hurdle of
Speaker 3: me not wanting to hit that again and knowing that
Speaker 3: I can't keep myself from doing it because I know
Speaker 3: how I am that it makes me not want to
Speaker 3: run another one.
Speaker 2: That's fair, and it's also fair that you want to
Speaker 2: end on a high note too.
Speaker 1: I'd get it.
Speaker 2: I mean that's your like, that's kind of your trophy
Speaker 2: if you will, so that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. I think, if anything, I would like
Speaker 3: to run a half with my dad because he continues
Speaker 3: to run.
Speaker 1: I remember you saying that in the last one you did.
Speaker 3: You didn't now because it's always on a Sunday where
Speaker 3: they do it in San Antonio, and it's always on
Speaker 3: a Sunday, So it's hard to run in the morning
Speaker 3: and get back in time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you just ran a marathon. You have to
Speaker 1: be on a flight that night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always hard. I wish they did it on
Speaker 3: a Saturday. I would do that in a heartbeat, because
Speaker 3: I think that would be a cool moment. It's really
Speaker 3: like the whole reason I started running, because I would
Speaker 3: see him running half marathons in his fifties and I'm like,
Speaker 3: I need to be doing something.
Speaker 1: Would he come here to do the one with you?
Speaker 3: That is a great question. My dad's never been here, really.
Speaker 3: My parents have never been here. Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it because they're not like fond of road tips
Speaker 1: or flying?
Speaker 3: My parents have never flown. My dad is probably more
Speaker 3: freaked out to fly than my mom. My mom would
Speaker 3: do it. My sister has been trying to convince my
Speaker 3: mom to fly to Mexico because whenever they go, they
Speaker 3: take an eight hour bus ride into Mexico and then
Speaker 3: another eight hours in Mexico. It's like sixteen hours because
Speaker 3: they don't want to fly. So I feel like my
Speaker 3: mom could be convinced that she came with my sister
Speaker 3: because I have an older brother older sister who are
Speaker 3: eight and seven years older than me, and they've both
Speaker 3: been here. Yeah, they come all the time. They come
Speaker 3: like maybe twice a year, but my parents haven't been here.
Speaker 3: They would road trip because we used to road trip
Speaker 3: from Texas to see my family in Memphis, but they
Speaker 3: haven't done that in a long time. I was like,
Speaker 3: you could come see your sister and then you could
Speaker 3: come see me.
Speaker 1: See maybe you need to convince him to do it
Speaker 1: for those rock.
Speaker 3: And roll one but maybe I feel like you. I
Speaker 3: feel like you could because he could come here. The
Speaker 3: one here is always on a Saturday. You could knock
Speaker 3: it out and they can stay for the weekend. Use
Speaker 3: it for them to get home on a Sunday.
Speaker 2: See, I Hey, just an idea, but that's crazy. I
Speaker 2: can't believe your parents haven't been here yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I think we were trying to go back
Speaker 3: home sometime in the spring, and I was like, man,
Speaker 3: I wish they could just come here because it would
Speaker 3: be so much easier. I think it's always like whenever
Speaker 3: you're the one who moves away, you're kind of more
Speaker 3: expected to go back home. And I do get that
Speaker 3: there's more of my family there than us, Like it's
Speaker 3: easier for two single people, at least two single people.
Speaker 1: You're a dual income household, but you are without children.
Speaker 3: So whatever the dual is, EI are for two dinks
Speaker 3: to go there, do is travel there than it is
Speaker 3: for like my family of five to come here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that, but it's also a cool place
Speaker 1: to visit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that. I think my dad would
Speaker 3: love it. Think just the food, like he loves anything,
Speaker 3: Like he would love hot chicken.
Speaker 2: He would be thriving. He gonna have hot chicken. You
Speaker 2: gonna run a marathon. I'm I'm all on team than
Speaker 2: visiting for the marathon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the city would blow their minds a
Speaker 3: little bit.
Speaker 1: I love that. I think we should make this happen
Speaker 1: for you. I mean, obviously it's.
Speaker 2: Up to them, we can't do anything, but you know,
Speaker 2: I think it should happened. What are your favorite games
Speaker 2: to write Kristen from Minnesota.
Speaker 3: My favorite to write, I would say, before we could
Speaker 3: not be able to play music clips, was always the
Speaker 3: music games. Like I used to love the isolated vocal games.
Speaker 1: Oh, those were always so fine.
Speaker 3: I loved anything with any kind of music clip or
Speaker 3: we would find like jazz versions of songs and you
Speaker 3: had to guess them. Like those are my favorite because
Speaker 3: I love just scouring the internet finding those clips and
Speaker 3: finding those random things. But we can't do those anymore.
Speaker 3: And it's been a struggle of trying to write games
Speaker 3: when we can't use music things anymore because it's so
Speaker 3: fun and I feel like listeners love those, yeah, but
Speaker 3: we can't do them, Like we could play them on
Speaker 3: the air, but we can't put them on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and most people are listening at this point podcast version.
Speaker 2: But I'm surprised too that we're still able to do
Speaker 2: like movie clips and stuff. I'm surprised that also hasn't
Speaker 2: been taken away. Yeah, but yeah, cross our fingers that
Speaker 2: doesn't happen.
Speaker 3: I would say, though, like as long as we've been
Speaker 3: doing it, I still love writing Easy Trivia because we're
Speaker 3: at a point that we have been doing it so
Speaker 3: long that I like finding really obscure categories.
Speaker 2: You find ones I'm like, I don't have anything in
Speaker 2: this category.
Speaker 3: I think that's my favorite thing to do, because it's
Speaker 3: like we've done planets, we've done all the things that
Speaker 3: we've all kind of learned through easy trivia. It's finding
Speaker 3: the more obscure things. And a lot of times I'll
Speaker 3: just be sitting in a room here and I'll look
Speaker 3: around at things. I'm like, what is around me? What
Speaker 3: could I make a category out of?
Speaker 1: Is that how you came up a Bible trivia for.
Speaker 2: One of them?
Speaker 1: Bible?
Speaker 3: What is around here? Okay, that could be a trivia category?
Speaker 2: Oh man, yeah, you got us. I have spells where
Speaker 2: I do really well and then who knows is a
Speaker 2: crapshoot for me. What is your favorite and least favorite
Speaker 2: part of being on The Bobby Bone Show, Lacey.
Speaker 3: Least favorite part is probably the fact that it's made
Speaker 3: me a morning person. I was never a morning person,
Speaker 3: but now it's like built into my DNA that I
Speaker 3: wake up early. Even on the weekends, I'm waking up early.
Speaker 3: If I could sleep until seven thirty, that's a big
Speaker 3: win for mem hmm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I used to be a night out.
Speaker 2: I still am trying to be a morning person and
Speaker 2: a night owl doesn't really work out very well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough. Like I I used to love the
Speaker 3: challenge of staying up for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Not anymore. Have you tried to pull an all nighter?
Speaker 3: I've gotten close. I think the longest I've stayed up
Speaker 3: in recent history was probably twenty one hours. Okay, but
Speaker 3: I haven't done the twenty four hours in a while, Mike.
Speaker 2: When I pulled an all nighter, for like when the
Speaker 2: CMA stuff happened, that not all nighter, I think we
Speaker 2: did the best hit we did it around there. I
Speaker 2: my body was not well, like I used to pull
Speaker 2: all nighters all the time when I was in high school,
Speaker 2: when I was in college, like no big deal, and
Speaker 2: I just like bounced right back.
Speaker 1: No my bout my body.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure, like a week to bounce back from that,
Speaker 2: like it destroyed me.
Speaker 1: So it is.
Speaker 2: It is so true that as you get older you
Speaker 2: need more sleep. I'm pretty sure you like go from
Speaker 2: needing a lot of sleep as a child.
Speaker 1: In the middle you're.
Speaker 2: Fine with a couple hours, and then you get older
Speaker 2: and you're like, I need like twelve hours now.
Speaker 3: I did find that I could kind of run on
Speaker 3: less sleep lately, Like whenever we were at the super
Speaker 3: Bowl and that week was pretty chaotic, I was going
Speaker 3: to steep later and still waking up early. I could
Speaker 3: get by on like three hours. So when we got
Speaker 3: back super late, I went to sleep at like midnight
Speaker 3: and then woke up like three hours later, and I
Speaker 3: was good, do you.
Speaker 2: Think you're going on adrenaline? Though, because that week was
Speaker 2: such a high.
Speaker 3: It never caught up to me though, Like I was like, Okay, Monday,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be fine because I'm running off to the adrenaline.
Speaker 3: By Tuesday, it's you got to hit me. Tuesday came
Speaker 3: around and didn't hit me, and then the rest of
Speaker 3: the week was fine. Like by Friday, I was like
Speaker 3: the normal amount of tire that I usually am at
Speaker 3: the end of the week, but I didn't feel that
Speaker 3: overwhelming exhaustion like I even I got home that Monday
Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm gonna probably go to sleep
Speaker 3: for like two or three hours. I slept for like
Speaker 3: thirty minutes. I was like that was it, and that
Speaker 3: was good. I was recharged.
Speaker 1: You've cracked the code. Maybe it's because you're healthy, you're
Speaker 1: so healthy.
Speaker 2: Another every other way, like it's helping your body when
Speaker 2: you don't get a lot of sleep.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've maybe like built up from having
Speaker 3: better sleeping habits because I have been on sleeping medication
Speaker 3: now for probably a couple of years. I feel like
Speaker 3: that helps when I do sleep. I do get quality
Speaker 3: sleep now, I think is an improvement. And then also like, yeah,
Speaker 3: drink a lot of water.
Speaker 2: You are you are the picture of health, well honestly white.
Speaker 2: Where is the next vacation? Jenna and Mary Lynch need
Speaker 2: some ideas.
Speaker 3: We've been talking about this right now because our five
Speaker 3: year wedding anniversary is not this year but next year.
Speaker 3: So we were initially thinking about going out of the
Speaker 3: country this year, and we're like, I think we should
Speaker 3: save that for our fifth anniversary, to make like a
Speaker 3: big thing, spend more on it and not feel it's like,
Speaker 3: I should we be spending this much on a vacation
Speaker 3: because it feels more like a celebration. So I think
Speaker 3: for that one, we're thinking about going to Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Oh, that will be so much fun. Do you know
Speaker 1: which part of Hawaii?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: Because I don't think Kelsey hasn't been. And I went once,
Speaker 3: like a long time ago now, like back when Bobby
Speaker 3: was doing American Idol, and I loved it. Like Hawaii
Speaker 3: is awesome. Like I know, it's not leaving the country,
Speaker 3: but it feels like leaving the country because it is
Speaker 3: a whole different country.
Speaker 1: It truly is.
Speaker 2: It looks so much different and it's you're flying over
Speaker 2: waters to get to it.
Speaker 1: It's a different experience.
Speaker 3: It's just wild, like how much time you're flying over
Speaker 3: water and then you just laying on this little piece
Speaker 3: of land out there, and it's like just looking at
Speaker 3: it on in a map, You're like, this is crazy.
Speaker 2: It is, and then you also are there and it
Speaker 2: also looks crazy that just the landscape of Hawaii is insane. Okay,
Speaker 2: Hawaii's a good one and out of the country is cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have depending on when.
Speaker 2: It like falls or whatever, we do have five now
Speaker 2: NonStop international flights from Nashville, London, Iceland, Dublin.
Speaker 1: And I think Paris now might be one.
Speaker 2: I can't remember all five of them, but one of
Speaker 2: those I want to go to on a vacation. Now
Speaker 2: that we have the NonStop flight, because I've done the
Speaker 2: other flights.
Speaker 1: And they are not fun. So I would love to
Speaker 1: do one of those.
Speaker 2: I'd love to go to London or Dublin or Iceland
Speaker 2: one of those three for like a full vacation. But
Speaker 2: I also really want to go to Minnesota and Chicago.
Speaker 1: Those are on my list.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to finish my states, and currently I have
Speaker 2: such random ones.
Speaker 1: That's hard.
Speaker 2: Like I have Indiana and Ohio and Iowa, and then
Speaker 2: I have Minnesota and Illinois. Like it's these states that
Speaker 2: are like right here, and you never really have a
Speaker 2: reason to go.
Speaker 1: You kind of have to force yourself to go.
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to figure out what I can do
Speaker 2: for whether just they're like quick weekend trips drive up
Speaker 2: I know, well, I really want to go to I
Speaker 2: think it's Cleveland that kind of sits on the little coastline,
Speaker 2: but I think that's an eight hour drive, which I
Speaker 2: have done.
Speaker 1: I did do New Orleans.
Speaker 2: In a weekend one time, and that was an eight
Speaker 2: hour drive and I loved it. I just haven't had
Speaker 2: that quite Uh, you know, life's been kind of kicking
Speaker 2: me in the face lately.
Speaker 3: I have the.
Speaker 2: Ability to just take off and drive for a quick
Speaker 2: weekend trip. And like I said, my body doesn't bounce
Speaker 2: back quite as much as well anymore, so I need
Speaker 2: to That might be one that I do is like
Speaker 2: just go pop off to Cleveland to go to Kentucky
Speaker 2: for a weekend. I'm trying to cross some of those
Speaker 2: off this year, like random weekend trips. So I'm trying
Speaker 2: to piece together road trips.
Speaker 3: Yeah. My other life goal is to run a half
Speaker 3: marathon in every state.
Speaker 1: Have you started that?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm pretty far into that.
Speaker 1: Really.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done problem.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, you're saying, like, just you run oh yeah,
Speaker 2: not like a race something, No, Like I did what
Speaker 2: I was just in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, so okay, I'm not I don't get.
Speaker 3: A medal at the end. I just I just have
Speaker 3: a mental checklist of all the states.
Speaker 1: I've run it I'm following.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, like official race that would take a long time.
Speaker 2: I know. I was like, dang, did you do this?
Speaker 2: And I just like missed pieces of that. Okay, so
Speaker 2: you've done a bunch of them because you've traveled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's how I travel. I'll try to get
Speaker 3: one in if there's time.
Speaker 1: Okay, how many do you have so far?
Speaker 3: I think I'm in the twenties because I've been doing
Speaker 3: it now for the last I think I started once
Speaker 3: we started traveling again after the pandemic. So every city
Speaker 3: I've gone to, I've run a half marathon in Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, if you ever go and do one in Alaska,
Speaker 2: make sure you do it like their summertime.
Speaker 3: At that one.
Speaker 1: That's your that's gonna be your fiftieth day. That'll be
Speaker 1: like the Final Complexion again. We're gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. Morgan from Mississippi. Not me different Morgan.
Speaker 2: She is one who would like us to debate the
Speaker 2: new Captain American movie, since we kind of had some
Speaker 2: conflicting opinions on this one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it was pretty mid Like I didn't
Speaker 3: even I was even thinking about it today, oddly because
Speaker 3: I was like, it just wasn't memorable to me. And
Speaker 3: I think when I go to a Marvel movie, I
Speaker 3: always want like that big heroic cheer moment, and I
Speaker 3: never got that, and Captain America as a whole hasn't
Speaker 3: been my favorite character. So I think it depends on
Speaker 3: the type of Marvel fan you are. You kind of
Speaker 3: like follow the journey of your favorite character, and throughout
Speaker 3: the course of all the Avengers movies, he just hasn't
Speaker 3: been my storyline. That's been like my go to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and your your favorite Spider Man always been your favorite,
Speaker 2: and you even have a tattoo of Spider Man. But
Speaker 2: I think for me and I also looked at it,
Speaker 2: it's differently, I think for both of us two because
Speaker 2: you're a major comic book fan and you're gonna have
Speaker 2: a different experience than I am, who's never read a
Speaker 2: comic book in my life, and I just know them
Speaker 2: as the movies. I don't have any like backstory. Mine's
Speaker 2: just like the movie. That's all I got. So I
Speaker 2: think that's also where our differen scene than some of
Speaker 2: the Marvel stuff comes from.
Speaker 1: Is you just have a different experience.
Speaker 2: You're more like the lifelong fans that are tend to
Speaker 2: be a little bit more critical of the stuff because
Speaker 2: you have you have higher expectations of it. Then you
Speaker 2: have me who's just like a fan of superheroes, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I don't have as high a
Speaker 2: standards for them, as long as it's good and I
Speaker 2: enjoyed myself I'm happy, So I think that's kind of
Speaker 2: where some of that comes from, would be my guess,
Speaker 2: and I could totally be wrong.
Speaker 1: But I also Captain America is.
Speaker 2: One of my favorite characters, and I think that's also
Speaker 2: playing a role in it because I loved I mean,
Speaker 2: I'll go back and watch the first of Indro a
Speaker 2: lot and Captain America Winter Soldier is one of my favorite,
Speaker 2: like standalone Marvel movies, So I've loved watching the evolution
Speaker 2: of what they've been doing, and Anthony Mackie as a
Speaker 2: person too, Like I followed him outside of that and
Speaker 2: I love him as like a human being. I think
Speaker 2: that also impacts my opinion. But I think why I
Speaker 2: love the particular movie so much was because of the
Speaker 2: suit got me. I was obsessed with that suit, like
Speaker 2: him being able to fly and be Captain America. I
Speaker 2: just thought was the coolest combination of things happening and
Speaker 2: the action of like how they filmed that movie gave
Speaker 2: me top Gun Maverick vibes in some of the ways
Speaker 2: how he'd fly and they'd dive with him and all
Speaker 2: of that that.
Speaker 1: I loved.
Speaker 2: That like really made me love the movie itself, and
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a spoiler, but I'm pretty
Speaker 2: sure that's in some of the trailers I saw. But
Speaker 2: I think that was like the big moments I was
Speaker 2: disappointed in just the Red Hulk and how it just
Speaker 2: kind of transpired. That wasn't a whole lot there than
Speaker 2: what you kind of seen in the trailers. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: that part was disappointing. But like the Captain America.
Speaker 1: Storyline I liked. And I also like Isaiah the old, old,
Speaker 1: old Captain America coming in there.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's the Captain America, if he's
Speaker 2: just like an old superhero, he's the old Captain America, right,
Speaker 2: My memories also foggy, But those were the pieces that
Speaker 2: I really liked. And again to your point, he is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite characters. So I've just liked watching
Speaker 2: the evolution of him and seen what they do with it.
Speaker 2: And I don't have high expectations of Hi. I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm happy like he's still around part of it now.
Speaker 2: We got like a flying Captain America goal goal with me.
Speaker 2: So any other thoughts for you?
Speaker 3: I think when I look back at the other Captain
Speaker 3: American movies, the action was always top tier, like out
Speaker 3: of all the Marvel movies, it was like very fast
Speaker 3: paced fight scenes, car chases, explosions. The sets were bigger
Speaker 3: and bolder, and I thought this one didn't have that.
Speaker 3: Like I thought even the fight sequences, I felt like
Speaker 3: Anthony Mackie as Captain America fought slow and I was like,
Speaker 3: this isn't the same like high paced, like hy adrenaline
Speaker 3: fight scenes that I'm used to. And I don't know
Speaker 3: if like the choreography was off or they like wanted
Speaker 3: a different approach for him, And I get he's not
Speaker 3: supposed to be Steve Rogers, but I just felt like
Speaker 3: it lacked that grit that the other Captain American movies
Speaker 3: have when it just came to being like these action
Speaker 3: thrillers and like mysterious like where you have to kind
Speaker 3: of figure out what's going on, I felt like all
Speaker 3: the pieces were kind of just like laid out and
Speaker 3: like nothing was exciting as it unfolded, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 3: I kind of know everything that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I do feel like a little bit too, because I
Speaker 2: have moments of where I feel jaded and watching a
Speaker 2: lot because there's so much of the Marvel stuff. I
Speaker 2: feel like when I watched, especially watching that first HM
Speaker 2: those first four phases of Marvel up till Avengers in game,
Speaker 2: there wasn't There was a lot for me to consume
Speaker 2: in that moment because I was watching them all at
Speaker 2: the same time. But I don't feel like there was
Speaker 2: as much to consume, so it was more exciting, and
Speaker 2: they had this second part of it.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like they've had as much of.
Speaker 2: A grasp on what their storyline is, and I think
Speaker 2: that's made it hard because that was such the appeal
Speaker 2: of Marvel was they made it all connect and that
Speaker 2: was so cool to me because nobody had ever done that,
Speaker 2: like in my experience as far as like multiple different
Speaker 2: types of storylines. And that's what's missing from this whole
Speaker 2: new phase for me, because they've had so many like
Speaker 2: with everything that happened with Cain the Conqueror and now
Speaker 2: he doesn't really exist because of what happened with the
Speaker 2: real life and then I don't know where they're headed
Speaker 2: in that direction or whatever. And they've created so much
Speaker 2: content with all the TV shows and everything which listen
Speaker 2: I've I've watched them all like I am that person
Speaker 2: I watched them all, but I do feel like there's
Speaker 2: a lot so it kind of makes everything just seem
Speaker 2: subpar versus being like really exciting. This is the first
Speaker 2: one to come out in four years, We're gonna watch it,
Speaker 2: and then you don't get another one for a couple
Speaker 2: of years, and you're gonna be.
Speaker 1: Excited again, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do think that the way of consuming has
Speaker 2: also changed the way that we like them at the
Speaker 2: same time, Do you feel that way at all? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I think it's hard to replicate what they did before,
Speaker 3: and Marvel has always banked on like they're less popular characters.
Speaker 3: Like whenever they launched the first Marvel movies, those weren't
Speaker 3: their most popular characters. They were the only characters they
Speaker 3: had the rights to. And now they're making movies with
Speaker 3: kind of the remnants of that because we all love
Speaker 3: those people who have all moved on now, So they
Speaker 3: haven't done a great job of building up the new
Speaker 3: people yet, Like who is to be the new Avengers
Speaker 3: team when they have this new one coming out and
Speaker 3: they have two coming out back to back, Like, what
Speaker 3: team is that even going to look like? Is that
Speaker 3: even going to feel like those movies before? So I
Speaker 3: think it's them having to pull the pieces of like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we want to keep these people that audiences kind of know,
Speaker 3: like Anthony Mackie because he has connection to the old Avengers,
Speaker 3: but we also are trying to introduce these new characters
Speaker 3: that haven't really resonated or impacted as much. So it's
Speaker 3: like they don't have the same pieces they were working with.
Speaker 3: And then everybody keeps comparing everything to Endgame, which was
Speaker 3: such a crazy accomplishment that can't be replicated anymore. It's
Speaker 3: never going to be replicated again. So therefore, in comparison,
Speaker 3: everything seems kind of mid because they're not going to
Speaker 3: be able to live up to that ever again. And
Speaker 3: that's probably why they brought back Robert Downey Junior, because
Speaker 3: they need some bankability. Yeah, so I'm curious how that
Speaker 3: plays out. We have Fantastic Four coming this summer, which
Speaker 3: they might queue them up in that movie. I think
Speaker 3: it's a little too soon.
Speaker 1: And Thunderbolts, I think too where.
Speaker 3: The Yeah, I think Thunderbolts will be all right. I
Speaker 3: just think we've kind of seen that iteration of a
Speaker 3: superhero team again, and even like in the comics, it's like,
Speaker 3: why are we doing the Thunderbolts? Yeah, And I feel
Speaker 3: like seeing a movie like that, people are like, what
Speaker 3: is this? Like, I don't it.
Speaker 1: Is, do you okay?
Speaker 2: Controversial? And then we're moving, We're moving away from this.
Speaker 2: Do you think they should have just stopped an endgame
Speaker 2: called it?
Speaker 3: Oh? No, I think they I don't think they should
Speaker 3: have stopped that endgame. I think it was probably the
Speaker 3: Disney Plus situation that created the fatigue, because there was
Speaker 3: so many shows and they all connected back to the movies.
Speaker 3: And I think that was my other kind of problem
Speaker 3: with this Captain America is we had the Disney Plus
Speaker 3: show where they did so much, but this movie I
Speaker 3: felt like had to kind of restay a lot of
Speaker 3: things that they are like, Okay, we can't bank on
Speaker 3: the fact that everybody watched that, so let's make a
Speaker 3: movie that appeals to everybody. And I was like, I
Speaker 3: don't want to see this version of him. I want
Speaker 3: to see him two steps ahead of this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: I think it was that that they tried to create
Speaker 3: so much and build this entire world that it was
Speaker 3: a little bit too much. But I don't think I mean,
Speaker 3: superhero movies aren't going to go away. People keep saying that,
Speaker 3: like the MCU is dead. I don't think that's going
Speaker 3: to happen. I just think like what we've been saying,
Speaker 3: like they're going to put out fewer movies, yeah, and hopefully.
Speaker 2: Go back to their kind of original structure versus in
Speaker 2: a dating us with so much content, which again I
Speaker 2: can't hate because I watched them.
Speaker 1: I was the consumer.
Speaker 2: But I also wouldn't mind if it was just the
Speaker 2: movies again, and it kind of goes back to a
Speaker 2: streamline process and it is working. I mean, they keep
Speaker 2: hitting number one of the box office, so it's not
Speaker 2: like it's not getting people out to see them.
Speaker 3: And it's not like everything before this was all great,
Speaker 3: Like there was bad movies in between there, like thor
Speaker 3: The Dark World and Men in the Wasp, like there
Speaker 3: were some bosmre. Yeah, there were some movies in there
Speaker 3: that are like now we view as everything before end
Speaker 3: Game like that was the golden age. Like, no, there
Speaker 3: were some bad movies in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on from our or Marvel debate, Thank you,
Speaker 2: Mike think for indulging myself in the other Morgan from Mississippi,
Speaker 2: Stacy from South Florida loves you. She's a runner whose
Speaker 2: son is a movie lover, and she feels so connected
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna kind of create a.
Speaker 2: Question for her out of her shout out she wants
Speaker 2: or I want to know what's your favorite running inspired movie.
Speaker 3: There aren't really a whole lot of running movies. I
Speaker 3: cannot think of one I know there cause I think
Speaker 3: I just don't love sports movies in general, which I
Speaker 3: know people are like, you don't like sports.
Speaker 1: Movies, that's wild, Mike, and you love sports.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think when it comes to sports movies,
Speaker 3: they're a little bit over glamorized in every situation, and
Speaker 3: a lot of sports movie just have a lot of
Speaker 3: inaccuracies of like, that's not exactly how it happened. I
Speaker 3: think the sports genre in general, they take a lot
Speaker 3: of liberties and making it feel more Hollywood esque, of like,
Speaker 3: we got to create this big dramatic story, we got
Speaker 3: to make this kid seem like he's come from nothing
Speaker 3: or she comes from nothing, and then pay them up
Speaker 3: in the biggest way possible, and when you look at
Speaker 3: their real life, like that's not exactly how it happened.
Speaker 3: They had help around them. This wasn't as dramatic. This
Speaker 3: didn't happen. It's like the biggest scene out of that
Speaker 3: movie didn't actually happen in real life.
Speaker 1: Dang, Mike, this is a hot take.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's more so sports movies based on
Speaker 3: real life, and I think they're very formulaic, much like
Speaker 3: how Christmas movies are very formulaic, and I think there's
Speaker 3: a time and place for them. I just think sports
Speaker 3: movies in general rank pretty low for me.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree with you again, but that's okay.
Speaker 2: I will say I did watch a really good running
Speaker 2: movie and it probably did take some liberties.
Speaker 1: You're not wrong, but it was so good. It was
Speaker 1: with Mark Wahlberg and it was Arthur the King.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, did you watch that one with the Dog? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I and it again, probably because I have I
Speaker 1: just love animals so much. I sobbed. That's that movie.
Speaker 1: I sobbed so many times and it was so good.
Speaker 1: All loved it. Did you like that one or was
Speaker 1: it too?
Speaker 3: Problem with that one too? If you watch the trailer,
Speaker 3: you watch the whole movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they mad that a lot with the trailers. I
Speaker 1: check on away from watching trailers.
Speaker 3: You watch a trailer and it's beginning middle and like,
Speaker 3: I watched the whole movie before I even watched the
Speaker 3: movie because I saw the trailer. And sports movies do
Speaker 3: that in a lot, like, hey, we're gonna sell you
Speaker 3: this movie. We just showed it to you all in
Speaker 3: two and a half minutes.
Speaker 1: It is true.
Speaker 2: I do. I do avoid watching trailers for the most
Speaker 2: part if I can, because I just feel like you're
Speaker 2: taking and they're doing it on purpose. They're taking the
Speaker 2: best parts of the movie to get you to go
Speaker 2: in and see it, but then.
Speaker 1: It spoils stuff for you in a way.
Speaker 2: The way that they've started to create trailers, I feel
Speaker 2: like maybe that's me, maybe I'm reading too much into it,
Speaker 2: but okay, And last one, any upcoming interviews for the
Speaker 2: podcast you're excited about.
Speaker 3: I am working on one right now. There's this guy
Speaker 3: who wrote a Simpsons book and he's been working on
Speaker 3: it since he was like ten years old. Wow, And
Speaker 3: I am a huge Simpsons fan, and I want to
Speaker 3: talk to somebody about like the influence that I had
Speaker 3: from the Simpsons, just when it comes to movies, because
Speaker 3: there are a lot of movies that did parodies of
Speaker 3: or homages too, that I didn't even realize at the
Speaker 3: time when I watched them as a kid, And that
Speaker 3: was how I was exposed to a lot of movies,
Speaker 3: like a lot of Alfred Hitchcock movies. They would do
Speaker 3: in like their Halloween episodes and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's funny. The Simpsons did it, and I'm like, oh, no,
Speaker 3: they're actually referencing a movie from like the forties and fifties.
Speaker 3: So I think he would be the perfect person to
Speaker 3: kind of take my love of The Simpsons and combine
Speaker 3: it with the love of movies. And it's not like
Speaker 3: it's a famous person, but for me, it's cool to
Speaker 3: talk to people who have the same interest as me.
Speaker 3: And I just think that would be like interesting.
Speaker 2: No, that'd be a cool It'd be a cool moment
Speaker 2: for you to be able to truly nerd out about
Speaker 2: things that you really care about with somebody else who
Speaker 2: sounds like they also nerd out over the same things.
Speaker 2: There's something so fun about having a nerd out conversation. Yeah, truly,
Speaker 2: And then you're like, I don't care if anybody else
Speaker 2: does a life, it's like, this is amazing.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, go listen to Mike D's podcasts, movie Mike's
Speaker 2: movie podcasts wherever you listen to podcasts, spoiler free movie reviews,
Speaker 2: of coming conversations about nerd things. See, I love it.
Speaker 2: We're two nerds over here. We both are, so we
Speaker 2: just have different variations of it. And you're just gonna
Speaker 2: I'm a Disney adult.
Speaker 1: You are? Would you call yourself a Disney adult?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: I would say too hard into the Disney. I love
Speaker 3: Disney and Pixar movies, like I'll go watch a Pixar
Speaker 3: movie by myself if I have to. But I feel
Speaker 3: like I've never been to Disney. I don't know that
Speaker 3: I would go as an adult unless we have kids.
Speaker 1: I don't thank you would. Oh, Mike, what about Universal?
Speaker 3: I would go to Universal. I feel like more of
Speaker 3: my interests are probably there. Yeah, Disney's also expensive.
Speaker 1: It is, but.
Speaker 2: Honestly, my tea, I've had kind of the same thought.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm older, I shouldn't go. Then I went,
Speaker 2: and I'm obsessed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not above it. It just doesn't scream to
Speaker 3: me that I need to go.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought, too, And then I went and
Speaker 2: I was like, my life has been changed forever. I
Speaker 2: think it's because once you see a lot of just
Speaker 2: real life things that you love, that you've watched for
Speaker 2: years or you fell in love with on the screen,
Speaker 2: and then you get to have like this real life experience.
Speaker 2: So there's something about that nostalgia where you're just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is pretty cool and it's just surround you and
Speaker 2: you're just engulfed in it for days and nobody's taking
Speaker 2: you out of it.
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2: I've held Mike ty hostage LINEA follow him, listen to
