Speaker 1: He doesn't give you an option to not to not
Speaker 1: talk to them.
Speaker 2: Exactly, Just end it.
Speaker 1: How do I not talk to you with zero?
Speaker 2: Oh boy? Just hit end and block the call.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I pressed zero and away.
Speaker 2: We're not listening on purpose?
Speaker 1: I know, but I said three to talk to them.
Speaker 1: Zero wasn't the option. I figured zero was the one
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, I saw the option for three to
Speaker 1: talk to you, but I pressed zero. I was hoping
Speaker 1: that that was the option to not talk to you,
Speaker 1: but I guess I'll still talk to you. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: all good.
Speaker 4: There's nine.
Speaker 1: How do I get signed up for this crap?
Speaker 2: Probably? And this is why I went through.
Speaker 4: I went and like scrubbed my email of everything that
Speaker 4: I was attached, and it was like unsubscribed, unsubscribed to
Speaker 4: like go and manually unsubscribe from so anything.
Speaker 1: So I did that, and then I got part of
Speaker 1: a scam because then I had these emails of like
Speaker 1: these like I won't say where they're from, but it
Speaker 1: was like these nasty, like hate full emails, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't want to see this crap. I
Speaker 1: don't want to see this negative rhetoric of what's happening
Speaker 1: in our country. I don't want it. I don't want it,
Speaker 1: So I'd hit unsubscribe, but that unsubscribe was actually a
Speaker 1: malicious link that then hacked my Google account. And so
Speaker 1: for a whole month I was dealing with all this
Speaker 1: crap of someone trying to from somewhere in Richmond, Virginia,
Speaker 1: hacking my Google calling me, Like I would get these
Speaker 1: fake calls from a Google number and it wasn't really Google,
Speaker 1: and it would say someone's trying to get in your
Speaker 1: account at Google over in Richmond. And then I went
Speaker 1: and talked to the woman and then I got transferred
Speaker 1: to I actually post this on my TikTok and Instagram
Speaker 1: of talking to the scammer and I talked to him
Speaker 1: for a really long time and then eventually like you
Speaker 1: should really really if you haven't seen, it's actually pretty good.
Speaker 2: I gu I saw one clip of you doing it.
Speaker 2: You were like confronting the scammer. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I did it in three parts because then the
Speaker 1: third part was when I actually talked to the guy.
Speaker 1: And then he was like, okay, mister Steven, A nice try.
Speaker 1: And I was like, nice try what And he was
Speaker 1: like nice tribe. You've been on the phone with me
Speaker 1: for eighteen minutes that He's like, you're wasting my time.
Speaker 1: I was like no, no, no, I was like no,
Speaker 1: wait a second here. I was like, you're wasting my
Speaker 1: time because you're a scammer. He's like, I'm not a scammer.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to help you get your Google com back.
Speaker 1: Yet I was like, you do not work for Google.
Speaker 1: I was like, where are you at in San Francisco?
Speaker 1: I'm not. And we went to this whole thing and
Speaker 1: I was just like, this is such a bunch of
Speaker 1: But I found out when I talked to somebody who
Speaker 1: actually work at Google. He's like, well, the problem was
Speaker 1: we found that you clicked unsubscribe, and that unsubscribed from
Speaker 1: that malicious email then took your information. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: how do you unsubscribe from these? He's like, you have
Speaker 1: to just keep deleting them. He goes, you can't have
Speaker 1: subscribe from some of these.
Speaker 2: It's such a crap.
Speaker 4: Hey, this is why you should go listen to part
Speaker 4: one because we talked about how everything's a scam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, it really is. I just kind of
Speaker 1: wanted to throw all this crap away and live off
Speaker 1: the grid.
Speaker 2: Okay, we can do that. We can go hang out
Speaker 2: with my grandma. She does that.
Speaker 4: God, I would love to do that, all right, Michelle
Speaker 4: apple Valley, she said, yes, my two faves are back.
Speaker 2: Everything is right again.
Speaker 1: Apple Valley, What girl are you doing?
Speaker 2: And then we've got.
Speaker 4: Yes my faves scoobs from Michelle, not Michelle.
Speaker 2: I was looking at Michelle and as.
Speaker 1: Michelle Valley is, who's this from from Nicole? Nicole?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: How does it feel working in country music when you
Speaker 4: are more of a rock guy? Katie in Georgia?
Speaker 1: Yeah, never, I mean I don't. I don't mind country
Speaker 1: music because I listened to like a little bits of
Speaker 1: it here and there growing up as a kid. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't like my, oh, I can't wait to go
Speaker 1: to a country show or I can't wait to get
Speaker 1: in the car and turn on a country radio station.
Speaker 1: So so for me, it was never a thing like
Speaker 1: I know you love country music and you grew up
Speaker 1: on it. It was like a whole thing for you.
Speaker 1: Me was hip hop, pop rock. But I like everything though,
Speaker 1: like I don't. I'm not a person that like is
Speaker 1: turned off by anything. Like I even listen to instrumentals
Speaker 1: or like Beethoven and weird crap or like TV show
Speaker 1: theme songs. I like everything the same way.
Speaker 2: I'm all of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm everywhere.
Speaker 2: I'm scream Oh that's where you get me.
Speaker 1: I like scream on all like so, I like everything.
Speaker 1: I just of a list countries at the very very
Speaker 1: very bottom. And so for me, it was never when
Speaker 1: I took this job, it wasn't about country. I took
Speaker 1: this job because of the of the show that what
Speaker 1: it was needing, and and I fulfilled or what do
Speaker 1: you what? What I'm looking for? I fit in with
Speaker 1: what was needed for this show at the time. I'm
Speaker 1: a fixer. I had to come in and fix things.
Speaker 1: And there was some systems that were in place that
Speaker 1: either didn't exist or needed some desperate help and needed
Speaker 1: some guidance and some some assistance for the nicest way
Speaker 1: to put it, and so I had to come in
Speaker 1: and help fix the problems that never that they just
Speaker 1: didn't They needed somebody that came from somewhere else and
Speaker 1: could give the knowledge. I kept so distracted by your ring.
Speaker 1: It's a massive time. I haven't seen your ring. And look,
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy crap, that's a fricking huge diamond. I
Speaker 1: have seen it like in a picture, but I don't
Speaker 1: think i've ever seen it like in person. Did you
Speaker 1: sit in another You sit in another studio and I
Speaker 1: sit in the glass box of Ray and Abbey, And
Speaker 1: so it's always far away, but like now, you're like,
Speaker 1: you have your hand like it's almost like looking.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is over your existence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we gotta seen Abby's because she's close to mine
Speaker 1: and yours is like modest and like normal, and yours
Speaker 1: is like huge.
Speaker 4: Mine's date teeth on the hands small, but that ring,
Speaker 4: but the diamonds not everything. When we did go looking
Speaker 4: at rings, everything made my hand.
Speaker 2: Everything looked big on my hand because.
Speaker 1: I have very little hands, so maybe perspective is that
Speaker 1: could be like a half carrot, but on your hand
Speaker 1: it was like four carrots.
Speaker 2: No I think I think it's three carrots.
Speaker 1: I said four, and you're like no, no, I was
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh no, it's one, and like it's three,
Speaker 1: which is basically four. You could be all basle and shy.
Speaker 1: But holy crap, that's a huge ring.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love it. I literally was just sitting. I
Speaker 2: have to hold on because I fall down the chairs
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 3: You fall down because your hand weighs so much. Now
Speaker 3: because you got four kts on your hand, sure and
Speaker 3: little and like crab yo, Okay, that's a really nice ring.
Speaker 3: I completely what I was talking about because that thing
Speaker 3: is like massive.
Speaker 2: Okay, you did you are more of a rock guy.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 2: There it is.
Speaker 1: Holy Christ. Anyone else reacted the way I have when
Speaker 1: they saw it, like Jesus Christ Morgan. No, I mean
Speaker 1: it weighs more than you.
Speaker 2: He's pretty. He did really good.
Speaker 1: No, it's awesome. I think it's great that you should
Speaker 1: never feel bad or bashful or weird about it, like
Speaker 1: that's that's amazing. The fact that you know that you
Speaker 1: got that, that's awesome. We bought our ring at Costco.
Speaker 1: Was like a half a carrot, but we were also like,
Speaker 1: Hella broke. I was like twenty four or five or
Speaker 1: whatever when.
Speaker 4: I got it.
Speaker 1: That's a massive ring. Holy it's like j Loo status,
Speaker 1: like twenty carrots. Yeah, I know, but like in our
Speaker 1: world it's like perspective, it's Jalo status. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, he did really good.
Speaker 1: I really he did. So I was so thrown off,
Speaker 1: like whoa. I kept looking at your hands, like Jesus,
Speaker 1: that's a huge ring. Good dude, he's awesome. Like how
Speaker 1: much would you spend I don't know, like a whole
Speaker 1: year's salary.
Speaker 2: He had been saving for a while.
Speaker 1: I can tell. Yeah he has, Yeah, he really has.
Speaker 1: He's been saving for a while.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. Oh wow, you don't want to know
Speaker 2: how many radio shows are you on?
Speaker 1: Oh man, not as many carrots as Morgan?
Speaker 2: Guys, are you done? I didn't even bring up anything
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: You couldn't because like your hand is like wafting.
Speaker 2: Around in the air and it's like sitting on my laptop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but like you can barely hold your hand up,
Speaker 1: like it weighs so much. That is an awesome ring. Okay, sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: I know I'm making you like a Mashable. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: be embarrassed by it. You should be bashful. It's awesome ring.
Speaker 2: It's not you.
Speaker 4: It's not everybody loves to have eighty million opinions on everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the internet opinions.
Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's amazing. You should be like, like, that's
Speaker 1: a nice ring. He did really good, Yeah he did. Like, Now,
Speaker 1: how do you like top that with the band? Like
Speaker 1: because usually like I feel like from like for us,
Speaker 1: like the engaging ring was like kind of it was nice,
Speaker 1: was fine. We got a costco who were we went
Speaker 1: to the actual costco number one, Kirkland, Kirkland, Kirklin, Washington,
Speaker 1: which is why everything's Kirkland.
Speaker 3: Oh got it?
Speaker 2: I did not realize that.
Speaker 1: So it's in Kirkland, Washington, and we both were like massive.
Speaker 1: She'd been going to Costco since she was like a child,
Speaker 1: so like, oh my god, it be so cool. And
Speaker 1: we're like, it's like, just buy me a ring at
Speaker 1: Costco because Costco also doesn't, you know, mark up their
Speaker 1: stuff when it comes to diamonds and jewelry, they kind
Speaker 1: of arete where they should be, like almost like a
Speaker 1: dealer price. And she said, just buy her whatever ring.
Speaker 1: And then when we get married, though, I won't really
Speaker 1: nice bands. So the bands that I got her I
Speaker 1: got are two bands that go on each side. The
Speaker 1: bands cost like way more than the actual engagement ring,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure at some point down the line when
Speaker 1: we're like, you know, older and have a ton of money,
Speaker 1: like you and your boyfriend or fiance, well upgrade here
Speaker 1: of us when I'm mute, it's not true.
Speaker 2: You also have how many kids?
Speaker 1: I have three kids? Back then I didn't though, but
Speaker 1: I also was like I was like, I worked in
Speaker 1: San Francisco and I got paid nothing. I got paid, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you were.
Speaker 2: Also in your twenties.
Speaker 1: We're in our thirties exactly. I'm just giving you a
Speaker 1: hard time. We honestly got on the real real Who
Speaker 1: cares what anyone says about it? If you like it,
Speaker 1: that's important. If he's proud of giving that to you,
Speaker 1: that's another thing. And you guys are happy as a couple.
Speaker 1: It's like when anyone can say whatever they want. Fam
Speaker 1: they're not your relationship, they're not you. Who cares what
Speaker 1: they say? What they think?
Speaker 4: You like it?
Speaker 1: It makes you happy. I saw even though I called
Speaker 1: it out, it's still you still smiled because you know
Speaker 1: it's a nice ring.
Speaker 2: It's really pretty.
Speaker 1: So screw anyone else on what they think and their
Speaker 1: idea of it, because because you like it, and that's
Speaker 1: all that matters. But God, even when you hold it down,
Speaker 1: it's like a lizard hanging on your hand. It's so huge,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: It's funny.
Speaker 4: Though I did tell him one simulation, which is which,
Speaker 4: which is why he was saving Like early on, I'm
Speaker 4: I'm not shy about financial stuff. Like my parents really
Speaker 4: like ingrained a lot of like financial conversations me very
Speaker 4: much of resource I was thankful for and they like
Speaker 4: when we were early in dating and even the conversation
Speaker 4: talking about marriage, I was like it's very important.
Speaker 2: To me that I do not go in debt for
Speaker 2: a wedding. I do not go You don't go in debt.
Speaker 4: For buying a ring, Like there nothing is worth going
Speaker 4: into debt to me, it's always the case. So that
Speaker 4: was like my stipulation with him whenever he was going
Speaker 4: to propose, if he wanted to propose, I guys, those
Speaker 4: real conversations started happening, especially when we were looking at rings.
Speaker 4: I was like, you're not going into debt to get
Speaker 4: me something. That's not how this is going to work. Like,
Speaker 4: I don't want that. I want us to be happy.
Speaker 4: I want this to be something that you love, that
Speaker 4: you create, that you think like symbolizes our relationship and
Speaker 4: the love that we have for each other. And if
Speaker 4: you go into debt, it's not worth it to me
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it isn't.
Speaker 2: And so he didn't. Unbeknownst to me, before.
Speaker 4: We even went ring shopping, he was saving and he
Speaker 4: was already planning for that to come. But it was
Speaker 4: that was a very very big conversation we had because
Speaker 4: I just don't. I'm still that way even like wedding planning.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want a big wedding.
Speaker 4: I want a small I would elope if our parents
Speaker 4: wouldn't be angry, So I can't want to be.
Speaker 1: Part of it. Yeah yeah, are you traditionalists for like
Speaker 1: your dad pays for it kind of thing? Or how's
Speaker 1: that going to work?
Speaker 2: That's the other thing is like I've been saving because
Speaker 2: I don't want my parents.
Speaker 1: To be Oh, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 2: I just don't like I.
Speaker 4: But I also just don't want to spend insane amounts
Speaker 4: of money anyway. So I want us to get married
Speaker 4: in the mountains, very small, like maybe just a family
Speaker 4: only type ceremony and then have a party here or something.
Speaker 2: But I'm just not none of that.
Speaker 4: Like I see people spending insane amounts of money and
Speaker 4: it blows my mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah it really. Yeah, Like a friend of mine he
Speaker 1: got married kind of like you the mountains. It was big,
Speaker 1: sir so over there on the California coast, but it
Speaker 1: was only it was like a really small like twenty
Speaker 1: thirty people. It was like his like really really really
Speaker 1: good friends and family and that was it. And we
Speaker 1: all stayed in little cabins in big sur Rich Point.
Speaker 1: I hear what it's called, but it was so cool,
Speaker 1: and I mean it costs a little bit of money,
Speaker 1: wasn't It wasn't cheap. Yeah, but it also wasn't like
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars if he wouldn't his entire group
Speaker 1: of friends and family and stuff. So yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was beautiful and it was intimate, and it was in
Speaker 1: the mountains. It was so cool and yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: recommend you do something that that you want to do,
Speaker 1: not what society wants.
Speaker 4: You to do.
Speaker 2: I know, And it's hard.
Speaker 4: Heck, do you even look at venues and there it's
Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars you run a venue?
Speaker 1: Just a venue?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I just that's insane to me. There's beautiful
Speaker 2: nature everywhere. What are we doing?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So yeah, noah, anyways, I digress.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, move on.
Speaker 2: How many radio shows are you on? Anita would like
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 1: I guess it's just Bobby's show on my show. It's
Speaker 1: it got your two shows whenever I do best bits,
Speaker 1: so three shows?
Speaker 2: Yet three?
Speaker 4: Do you still do the weekend like you were doing
Speaker 4: something on iHeartRadio for a while nineties?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was afternoons and I heeart nineties.
Speaker 2: I take that back up.
Speaker 1: No, I stopped doing that because I was then focused
Speaker 1: on the rock thing. It was good to kind of
Speaker 1: like it was like a way to get me back
Speaker 1: into doing solo radio. So it was great. It was fun.
Speaker 1: The music was so much fun. It was nineties, you know,
Speaker 1: pop rock, alternative, so it was it was a fun station.
Speaker 1: It got my chops back going and doing radio again.
Speaker 1: But I did it for like six months and then
Speaker 1: maybe four and five months, I don't know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: that long. And then I started getting working towards this
Speaker 1: rock thing because of the HRD nineties. But I don't
Speaker 1: have time to do multiple you know, yeah, different kinds
Speaker 1: of shows.
Speaker 2: Yeah you got two already.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two's enough. And I'm working on making that rock
Speaker 1: show being other markets with just that. So that's the
Speaker 1: goal of taking that one show and expanding it into
Speaker 1: other places.
Speaker 2: I believe in you.
Speaker 1: You hear you. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Laura, and Albuquerque wants to know. How did you come
Speaker 4: to be on the Bobby Bone Show.
Speaker 1: I came to be so I was the short hand
Speaker 1: version of it. I was in La working with Ryan
Speaker 1: Seacrest and one day I was at an event called
Speaker 1: Wango Tango, which is it was local but it was
Speaker 1: the first year it was national, and so one of
Speaker 1: my other jobs, I guess, going back to the last question,
Speaker 1: not a show, but one of my other jobs as
Speaker 1: I go and do all of the art company's tent
Speaker 1: pole events. So like Alter Ego was just there recently
Speaker 1: for in La it's like the rock show. We go
Speaker 1: to Country Fest because of where I'm at now. I
Speaker 1: do Fiesta Latina in Miami, which is like the the
Speaker 1: Latin pop big show. We do the festival in Vegas.
Speaker 1: What else is there? There's the iHeart Awards that come
Speaker 1: up every year in La. So I also am part
Speaker 1: of that broadcast team where we do the behind the
Speaker 1: scenes interviews and put that whole thing together. And so
Speaker 1: I was at Wango Tango and doing that. It was
Speaker 1: the first year it was a national show. So I
Speaker 1: was working there and working with Seacrests, and I was
Speaker 1: talking to some people that I work with in management
Speaker 1: at Premiere and I was like, hey, you know, just
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I'm you know, I want I'm looking for
Speaker 1: something else in the company, Like I love this job
Speaker 1: I'm working with. Ryan's freaking amazing. It's it's so surreal
Speaker 1: to have to have Ryan Seacrest know who I am,
Speaker 1: and like talk to me. I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is freaking ry. It's Ryan Seacrest. But then eventually
Speaker 1: becomes like he just he's just Ryan, but it's still
Speaker 1: a little bit in your back of your mind like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is Ryan Seacrest talking to me
Speaker 1: right now. So I didn't I didn't want to think
Speaker 1: I was ungrateful for the opportunity. But I I want
Speaker 1: like more responsibility. I wanted to I wanted like the
Speaker 1: next step. I've always been the way in my career
Speaker 1: of like I want more, I want more, I want
Speaker 1: to keep moving up the ladder and do whatever. And
Speaker 1: then also I just had our first kid and we're
Speaker 1: living in LA and we live in a townhouse in
Speaker 1: the valley and there's no yard. And I felt like guilty,
Speaker 1: you know, raising my kid without some sort of space.
Speaker 1: And I knew I wanted more kids, and I knew
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford more kids in LA. Yeah, just because
Speaker 1: the cost of living was so high. I got paid nice.
Speaker 1: I had a good salary. My wife had a good salary.
Speaker 1: She was working the hot. Toughest part was she just
Speaker 1: got a cool job because I told her she was
Speaker 1: left finance, and I was like, you should we live
Speaker 1: in La dude, get like a fun entertainment job. You know,
Speaker 1: we live here. I don't know how long we're gonna
Speaker 1: live here for, but get like a cool, fun job.
Speaker 1: And so she went and applied for a job at
Speaker 1: Universal and she worked with the executive that handled toys
Speaker 1: and branding, which is the coolest one. So it's all
Speaker 1: like she got a lot of like the prototype toys
Speaker 1: of when they were coming out with business back when
Speaker 1: Drastic World was about to come out. So she'd come
Speaker 1: home with all these cool prototype toys and she got
Speaker 1: to work the Universal a lot her boss. It was
Speaker 1: like a really cool experience. And I felt bad because,
Speaker 1: like four or five months into it, I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: so you know we talked about like getting a new
Speaker 1: job or a different job, and she's like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I think I got it. And
Speaker 1: it's in Nashville, and she's like, oh my god, Nashville.
Speaker 1: So we had the move and I was like yeah,
Speaker 1: and she just got this job and she liked her boss,
Speaker 1: and her boss loved her, and I felt bad. I
Speaker 1: was like, but I don't have to take it though.
Speaker 1: Because I know you see you like this and you
Speaker 1: seem really happy. And she's like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: she is that we want to build a family and
Speaker 1: do more. Let's go for it. And even in that moment,
Speaker 1: they were like, it was either New York or Nashville,
Speaker 1: and I was I'll take whatever. But New York would
Speaker 1: have maybe not been the best because it wouldn't have
Speaker 1: checked the family box. You're in the city. I guess,
Speaker 1: let's move moved to Jersey or something, but I would
Speaker 1: have made it work. But then Nashville just seemed, I
Speaker 1: guess made more sense for us. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: let's go explore the Nashville one, like all right, cool, sweet,
Speaker 1: and they're like it's for a got Nam Bobby Bones.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't, I don't really know. I was
Speaker 1: like I just want to move somewhere, and all right,
Speaker 1: cool whatever. So then I came out here and I
Speaker 1: think you were here, right, yeah, And I came out
Speaker 1: here that one time. Yeah, well, I first met them.
Speaker 1: I met somebody somewhere I forget where. I think it
Speaker 1: was Bobby somewhere, and then I came out here and
Speaker 1: met you guys, and then I hung out for like
Speaker 1: a day or two, and then I flew out. And
Speaker 1: then then I saw Bobby that Festival of twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: in September, and he he goes like, yes, we're dating now.
Speaker 1: I was like what, you know. I was like he's
Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh, I guess and then
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I think it's going to happen. I
Speaker 1: was like all right, cool, sweet, and then I was
Speaker 1: like all right, this is great. It was nice to
Speaker 1: me because we should follow each other. Found out either
Speaker 1: we should follow each other on Twitter, and I was
Speaker 1: like okay, and so we follow each other on Twitter
Speaker 1: and that was how the relationship started.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was like one of the things where
Speaker 1: I just was looking for something else and looking for
Speaker 1: more of a challenge, and they explained what the show needed.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's a fun challenge. I want
Speaker 1: to be able to come in there and work on
Speaker 1: that and do that. And Nashville I never knew anything
Speaker 1: about it. I spent less than forty eight hours here
Speaker 1: and was like, this is pretty cool. It's a smaller city,
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's up and coming. And I
Speaker 1: was like this is I could see myself living out here,
Speaker 1: cost of living was way cheaper than LA so it
Speaker 1: just made sense. And so yeah, we we die here,
Speaker 1: and here we are six years later.
Speaker 2: Now you're still here.
Speaker 4: Speaking of before, we're going to do this quickly before
Speaker 4: we go into the break. What do you miss about California?
Speaker 4: Vanessa from Monterey Monterey?
Speaker 1: You live Monterey. You know why I miss California? If
Speaker 1: it's the Monterey I'm thinking, right, is it Monterey California?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I assume she just says Monterey.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, what's her name? Melissa?
Speaker 2: Vanessa?
Speaker 1: Vanessa? Sorry, Melissa's from Apple Valley, Michelle. Michelle, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: a long, long week. Vanessa, Yep, you know why I
Speaker 1: miss California. But for everyone else who doesn't know why
Speaker 1: I missed it, because she lives in freaking Monterey, Like
Speaker 1: she knows why I miss California. The place is beautiful.
Speaker 1: You're right on the ocean, like you're That's the biggest
Speaker 1: thing is the ocean. I missed the ocean. I miss
Speaker 1: being near my wife's family because we had we had help,
Speaker 1: which was nice because we have you know, having kids,
Speaker 1: it takes a village. And right now we're all by ourselves.
Speaker 1: So I did a top three, it'd be I missed
Speaker 1: the top four. Ocean, being near fan, family, recreational marijuana,
Speaker 1: and uh, access to like everything you can do and
Speaker 1: see anything and everything in California, whereas most states don't
Speaker 1: have the luxury for of the restaurants, theme parks, entertainment.
Speaker 1: I mean at the venue, like everything about California. It's
Speaker 1: just awesome. There's so much to do and see there.
Speaker 2: I'd love to live there someday, I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I recommend it San Francisco, La and everything
Speaker 1: in between. It's awesome.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be are
Speaker 4: back for more questions. Mark and Tampa just got Universal
Speaker 4: Studios Iowa passes.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wants of adventure.
Speaker 4: Okay, what are the top three rides and restaurant there?
Speaker 1: I was an adventure, so I don't know they had
Speaker 1: passes just for the specific park though.
Speaker 4: I thought it was like, it looks like he got
Speaker 4: it for Universal Studios Slot. He said Universal Studios slash Iowa,
Speaker 4: So he must have got Universal.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I think the epic isn't
Speaker 1: part of the annual passes yet.
Speaker 4: I think it's becoming next year with this year. I
Speaker 4: can't remember when they announced it, but it is in
Speaker 4: the next year or so.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'll tell you my If he's only looking
Speaker 1: for favorite rides, I guess I can give you my
Speaker 1: top three rides at Iowa and Universal Studios.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So, because I used to have an anal pass when
Speaker 1: I lived in Orlando. It was ten bucks a month
Speaker 1: when I had it, I'm sure he's paying way more
Speaker 1: than that now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot more, Yeah, a lot more.
Speaker 1: That was twenty eight nine, ten actually seven, Holy crap.
Speaker 1: My top three rides at Iowa. One of them doesn't
Speaker 1: exist anymore. It was Dueling Dragons.
Speaker 2: Can tell no one because it doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: But now it exists at Epic that you said that,
Speaker 1: there's that one ride. Okay, yes, so yeah, that was
Speaker 1: my favorite ride with dueling dragons. It was the coolest
Speaker 1: thing ever. You got Your feet were dangling, and I
Speaker 1: would always I wore sandals all the time back then,
Speaker 1: so it was the cool thing ever because I took
Speaker 1: my sandals off. I sat on my sandals and now
Speaker 1: I'm barefoot riding a ride. It was like so liberating
Speaker 1: to be barefoot on a roller coaster. Okay, so I
Speaker 1: love that ride. I also love of My second favorite
Speaker 1: would have to probably be Hulk. Oh, I love Hulk Holk.
Speaker 1: Do you write that one? Or shoot you off?
Speaker 4: Do you think I wrote a roller coaster like that?
Speaker 4: When I don't like though, you should just just just
Speaker 4: do it?
Speaker 2: No one.
Speaker 4: I would vomit to I'd cry. Three, I'd probably give
Speaker 4: herd to go again.
Speaker 1: Okay, all three research. So Hulk was number two for me.
Speaker 1: It was the best part ever. You you get in
Speaker 1: that tunnel. I was like, I think it's I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna work.
Speaker 3: Warning warning, no no, And all of a sudden, like
Speaker 3: it would just shot when you're out of the tunnel
Speaker 3: and you're rolling around, and there was so much fun.
Speaker 2: Did you do you like Velosa Coaster?
Speaker 1: I had never written it. It wasn't when I lived there.
Speaker 4: Velocit Coaster is going to change your life when you
Speaker 4: need to write it. So you wrote it's all everybody
Speaker 4: who I've gone with it's their favorite one, okay, because
Speaker 4: it's insane.
Speaker 1: That looks it looks really cool. I haven't written it yet.
Speaker 1: I have plans that I have plans to go. I
Speaker 1: will be going end of March, beginning of April.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, then you have to it. Then you have
Speaker 4: to ride Velosogosta. I mean my fiance wrote it five
Speaker 4: times in a row. Oh wow, okay Dan, because he
Speaker 4: could go by himself because I wouldn't go. So you
Speaker 4: just go to the individual rider line. He'd get off
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I'm still chilling, go for it. You
Speaker 4: just went back up and dude, and he come down
Speaker 4: so geeked out and he's like, I was like, still chilling,
Speaker 4: go for.
Speaker 3: It, dude.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I can't wait to write that one. And
Speaker 1: then so my number three, Man, it's tough because I
Speaker 1: really liked I like Jurassic Park because it has that
Speaker 1: fun ninety foot drop or sixty foot drop whatever it
Speaker 1: is in the end. You write that one, but now
Speaker 1: it's Drassic World, so I need to see it now
Speaker 1: because it's different. But I think my third favorite aisleway
Speaker 1: has got to be Dudley Do rights rip soft Falls?
Speaker 1: Did you ride that? It's the water log ride?
Speaker 3: No, I don't.
Speaker 4: I wrote any of the water ones. Okay at Universal.
Speaker 2: We did at Disney, but we didn't at Universe.
Speaker 1: That was at Universal. That was an Island's Adventure though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm we University of generally to round water rides. Okay,
Speaker 1: that one's a fun one. That's the one. It's almost
Speaker 1: like Splash Mountain their version of it. Yeah, because at
Speaker 1: the end it has like you get out and it's
Speaker 1: like whoa and a big drop at the end you
Speaker 1: go down and you get soaked the whole time. We
Speaker 1: used to ride that during Halloween Hornites because no one
Speaker 1: would ride that because it's nighttime and you get soaked,
Speaker 1: and no one wants to get soaked at the park.
Speaker 1: But we had frequent Fear passes, which which basically was
Speaker 1: an annual pass for Halloween Hornites, so we'd go like
Speaker 1: three times a week, and then we would go there
Speaker 1: one day just to ride that. So we went there
Speaker 1: knowing we're gonna get wet, and we'd ride it over
Speaker 1: and over.
Speaker 2: Makes a lot more fun too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we know, we know that's what we're doing. Then
Speaker 1: when we leave, we don't care because we're gonna go
Speaker 1: back in my truck soaked. It doesn't matter because we
Speaker 1: know that's what we're doing. And ember one time we
Speaker 1: wrote it over and over and over and over and
Speaker 1: over and over, and I had to pee, and uh,
Speaker 1: and I had to pee, and and we were it
Speaker 1: was like our seventh or eight time riding it, and
Speaker 1: no one else had to pee. I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I got to pee. And they're like like, well we don't.
Speaker 1: We're gonna ride it again, because it was like a
Speaker 1: zero minute wait. We're running back on to go ride it.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I really have to go.
Speaker 1: And it's and it's a ride where you're it's a
Speaker 1: it's a log ride, and so it's like, I think
Speaker 1: it's like four people want to ride. And I was
Speaker 1: in the back and so it was me in the back,
Speaker 1: my friend Lee in front of me, and then Drew
Speaker 1: and Brent, and so I was like I had to
Speaker 1: pee and I couldn't hold it anymore. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: we are so wet right now. There's no ride. There's
Speaker 1: no way that they're gonna know that it's either my
Speaker 1: pee or the water from around the rides splashing you.
Speaker 1: So I remember we were going down the big drop
Speaker 1: and I was like all right, and I just let
Speaker 1: it go and I sat back and I peed all
Speaker 1: over Lee.
Speaker 2: No you did not, he did.
Speaker 1: And we wrote like three or four more times, which
Speaker 1: I was like, let's write it some more times, like
Speaker 1: I thought you had to go pee. I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm good, but I want to write it more times
Speaker 1: so I can, Like, so I could, so I could
Speaker 1: clean me because I just pete. I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: That's bad.
Speaker 1: That's really bad. Sorry, Lee.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought all those years ago that
Speaker 4: he smelled pea and he just was like, crazy, yours water, it's.
Speaker 1: Hot, And that's right, it's been cold the whole time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what the hell's happening here? Yeah? Really weird. And then
Speaker 1: and then my favorite spot to eat in there was
Speaker 1: a place right when you walk into Alan's Adventure you
Speaker 1: get to so you walk straight in and it gets
Speaker 1: like that tea in the row where you can go
Speaker 1: to the left, which takes you to Marvel Universe where
Speaker 1: it's got Hulk and all that, or you can go
Speaker 1: to the right and it goes to Doctor seuss Land
Speaker 1: and all that over there.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so there's walking through Doctor Susland.
Speaker 4: When I was at Universal, it was pouring rain and
Speaker 4: I had ran because my family was riding the roller
Speaker 4: coasters and I didn't want to, so I ran to
Speaker 4: go to Spider Man.
Speaker 2: I wanted to do Spider Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fine, right too.
Speaker 2: It is I loved Spider Man.
Speaker 4: And I got out of there and it was pouring
Speaker 4: down rain, so it was like a zombie apocalypse. Nobody
Speaker 4: was there or they're running around, and I was in
Speaker 4: Doctor SEUs Lane and I didn't it. This is my
Speaker 4: first time ever in the park. I was trying to
Speaker 4: get back to my family and the pouring rain and
Speaker 4: I was in Doctor sus Land. I thought I was
Speaker 4: on drugs.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because it's trippy.
Speaker 4: Oh it was so trippy and it was raining and
Speaker 4: nobody was around, and I had no idea where I
Speaker 4: was going. I got lost in Doctor Suslane like three times,
Speaker 4: just doing the same lap, and I was like, what
Speaker 4: is going on?
Speaker 1: I want to get out of here. If it was
Speaker 1: like Groundhog Day, it literally was.
Speaker 2: So that's my memory of Doctor Seuss World.
Speaker 1: It's a cool spot, and even during hollywod Horn, it's
Speaker 1: because they're like the way they light things in there.
Speaker 1: It's so trippy and so cool. But right before we
Speaker 1: walk into there, on the right hand side, there's a
Speaker 1: place called something Cantina. It's like a hidden gym like
Speaker 1: no one ever, even though it's right there in the
Speaker 1: main walkway. Yeah, I felt like nobody ever went in there.
Speaker 1: It was the best place to go, especially for a
Speaker 1: drink because they have a bar right there that and
Speaker 1: you can grab a drink and you can sit there
Speaker 1: and like watch Hulk and see all that stuff. I
Speaker 1: think it's really cool.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: Not the best food, but it's a great it's okay food,
Speaker 1: but it was the atmosphere and the drinks and the
Speaker 1: accessibility to get to a bar right there and watch
Speaker 1: the park. I think it's kind of cool. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like those.
Speaker 1: And then so for you, what were your top three
Speaker 1: at as Adventure?
Speaker 4: Well, and I'll just put them all into one, okay,
Speaker 4: but definitely the uh what was it called, uh, motorbike Hagrids.
Speaker 1: Oh, Hagrid's I'd never ridden that either. That's new.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Hagrids, you'll love. It's definitely my number one.
Speaker 4: And I would say, then Harry Potter, The Escape at
Speaker 4: Green Goots is number two.
Speaker 2: Okay, I've been on that very Harry Potter. I love
Speaker 2: Harry Potter.
Speaker 4: Atarsal like just you spend the whole day there and
Speaker 4: then three. I think my third one was what what
Speaker 4: was that place? And why can't I think of it now?
Speaker 4: I really do like Spider Man.
Speaker 1: No Transformers, Oh, Transformers, I didn't. That wasn't there either
Speaker 1: when I was there, I don't think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a three D ride.
Speaker 1: Just like Spider Man ride. Yes, same kind of concept.
Speaker 2: And I freaking love Transformers.
Speaker 4: So I was geeking out and there and I got
Speaker 4: to meet Bumblebee and Optimus Spot.
Speaker 1: Well, they have a Transformers at the one in LA
Speaker 1: and I've been on that one. It's the same thing
Speaker 1: where you're in the car with the glasses screens, things like.
Speaker 2: You get like thrown around, yeah.
Speaker 1: Water and a whole for dy effect. Yes, that one's fine, okay, Yeah, So.
Speaker 2: I would say that's my third one.
Speaker 4: And then I do honorable mention the Jurassic Coaster because
Speaker 4: everybody loves it. I can't see fram experience, but you
Speaker 4: have to ride it, if you're a.
Speaker 2: If you're got passes, you have to do it, okay.
Speaker 4: And then restaurant wise, I love Three Broomsticks and Harry Potter.
Speaker 4: They have a bomb breakfast thing, uh huh, which you
Speaker 4: can't normally find breakfast in the park. But we did there, okay,
Speaker 4: and that one was really cool.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 4: I think that's about it, because I'm definitely more a
Speaker 4: Disney food girl than i am the Universal food girl.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Universal has stepped it up a little bit recently
Speaker 1: with their food. I know, for back when I was
Speaker 1: living there, it was like Universal wasn't. You didn't go
Speaker 1: there for the food. You went there to drink and
Speaker 1: ride rides.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: And Disney was like the food. It was the foodie food,
Speaker 1: exact seeming of it and everything.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Janelle and Florida wants to know the theme park?
Speaker 4: What do you want to visit?
Speaker 2: You've never been to before.
Speaker 1: I've never been to before before. I get to hurt
Speaker 1: my top three of Universal. I'll go really fast. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: the main park.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I thought you put them all.
Speaker 1: No, No, I divided it because you can't put it.
Speaker 1: The fact of there being together is blasphemy. Get to
Speaker 1: separate the two parks. Yeah, yeah, okay, So the Universal,
Speaker 1: the Main Universal, I'm gonna go mostly old school. Number
Speaker 1: one is et. Oh my god, it is so cool
Speaker 1: and I hope they never ever ever change it. You can't.
Speaker 1: You just can't touch that one. That one's amazing. I
Speaker 1: love et. I love Men in Black as number two.
Speaker 1: Men in Black is so bad ass because it's such
Speaker 1: a fun like shooting ride and I've read memories of it.
Speaker 1: Men in Black is so much fun. And when he
Speaker 1: says don't touch the red but button, touched the red
Speaker 1: button because then you get a million points or one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand points whatever. It is, so definitely touch the
Speaker 1: red button. That's a little hack there for you. And
Speaker 1: the other hack is definitely make sure you shoot the
Speaker 1: things on top of the other person's ride, so you'll
Speaker 1: notice on your car in every car around you. At
Speaker 1: the very top, there's like this like almost like a
Speaker 1: cute tip looking thing. It's got like a rod and
Speaker 1: like a circle on top, and there's a red circle
Speaker 1: that like flashes, and if you shoot that, you get
Speaker 1: a lot of different points. And when you shoot their
Speaker 1: car and you hit it right in the middle, their
Speaker 1: car spins around and does three sixties.
Speaker 2: Which is kind of cool, funny, okay.
Speaker 1: And then my third favorite at Universal Man, it's It's
Speaker 1: gotta be Mummy.
Speaker 4: Mummy is so she's a single Harry Potter ride.
Speaker 1: No Harry Potter wasn't there when I went to a Universal. Really,
Speaker 1: Harry Potter didn't exist. Harry Potter was just coming out
Speaker 1: as a movie for the first time ever when I
Speaker 1: went to Universal. Okay, growing up, you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna have a wildly life changing experience because you like
Speaker 2: Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: I love Harry Potter.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna it's gonna change your After you have
Speaker 4: visited again, I'm gonna your updated lists.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, do you have a buddy. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: let you know. Come after April some more information. And
Speaker 1: then the best food at Universal, man, I think the
Speaker 1: pizza spot. So it's over there where they did a
Speaker 1: lot of filming. All that was filmed, like the whole
Speaker 1: all that intro was filming in like that city looking
Speaker 1: area by Mummy, there's a pizza spy. If you're looking
Speaker 1: at Mummy. To the right, there's a pizza joint. And
Speaker 1: that pizza, from what I remember, was like the best
Speaker 1: pizza like ever. It was so freaking delicious.
Speaker 4: Okay, so good, Okay, now too, okay, next question, what
Speaker 4: theme park would you want to visit that you've.
Speaker 2: Never been to before.
Speaker 1: I've never been to before. I really want to go
Speaker 1: to I've seen it on Instagram only. It's the Warner
Speaker 1: Brothers Park over in Dubai. It's all indoors, which is
Speaker 1: like so intriguing to me that it's an indoor theme park.
Speaker 1: So I would say that will be number one on
Speaker 1: the list, But it's like tied with the one inside
Speaker 1: Mall of America, the Nickelodeon Universe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've had You've wanted to do other for a while.
Speaker 1: For instance, I was a kid. So I think it's
Speaker 1: between the Warner Brothers in Dubai and nick Universe at
Speaker 1: Mall of America would be the two I'm into that.
Speaker 3: I want to check.
Speaker 4: Well, one of those is going to be really easy
Speaker 4: for you to get too, yeah, them all of America.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Dubai. It's a little bit of a hike.
Speaker 2: It is gonna take you well execute yeah, and it's
Speaker 2: hell of expensive.
Speaker 1: One of them.
Speaker 2: You can get there pretty quickly. You can just pop
Speaker 2: on a little flight this weekend and go.
Speaker 1: I could, but I have a family to attend, so
Speaker 1: you can't just get up and go. But then it
Speaker 1: costs more money. I can't do that.
Speaker 2: It's true. I want to go to Disney and Japan.
Speaker 1: That's it'd be cool. Yeah, that'd be fun to see,
Speaker 1: like the Disney's across the world. Yeah, the world looks crazy,
Speaker 1: so yeah, and they're adding the zoo Topia land there.
Speaker 1: I think, right, looks so freaking cool.
Speaker 2: I just want to go to Japan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be and it's cheaper there. I think it's
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks to get in. My friend just went there.
Speaker 1: He did a whole Japan trip by himself, and he
Speaker 1: spent like a couple thousand bucks with flight transportation while
Speaker 1: he's there, food, that the tickets to Japan for the
Speaker 1: Disneyland there, it was like nothing. It was like fifty
Speaker 1: to fifty five dollars. It's like everything when you that
Speaker 1: you buy there is also affordable. I was like, why
Speaker 1: is it that there but not here?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Understand that?
Speaker 4: Okay, Well we're going to end because I had some
Speaker 4: more questions. But we went on a little tan earlier.
Speaker 1: We went through a few tangents.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, oh my goodness. Okay, well, Scuba, thanks for
