0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>The best Bits of the week with Morgan's Listener Q

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and day Time We're.

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.

0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>What's up everybody Listener Q and a Time with Mike D.

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>We are both cozy and our homes with the snowstorm

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:19.880
<v Speaker 1>apocalypse at City Nashville. Mike, how you doing.

0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I love a snowstorm when I don't have to go out,

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:23.880
<v Speaker 3>like when I don't have to be anywhere.

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 2>I love staying at home.

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 3>My favorite part is at night, whenever there's that snow

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 3>glow where you like look outside and it's like orange looking.

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 3>It just feels so peaceful. That is my favorite part

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:34.199
<v Speaker 3>of it.

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.559
<v Speaker 1>You know me too. And I kept up my Christmas

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 1>tree just so I could truly have a white Christmas.

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:46.239
<v Speaker 3>Same about there's snow outside, you have the Christmas tree on,

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 3>it just feels cozy.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And we have to have at least one of

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.160
<v Speaker 1>those moments a year and then I'll be okay taking

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it down.

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 3>How long are you keeping all your Christmas stuff up?

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 3>Because we're still full Christmas over here.

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>Same, I don't have a plan date in this moment

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>in time, so it could be up through the end

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of January could be up into February. I'm pretty sure

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>last year I kept it up through the end of February.

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I just was really enjoying it, So we'll see if

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I can beat that time. When are you guys taking

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>your sound?

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 3>I think going into this, we were saying this is

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 3>our last week. I think no storm might be the

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 3>end of it. So we'll see you though.

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you're doing better than I am. Part of me

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>is just also lazy, and I don't really once need

0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the effort to take it down, all right. Starting with

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 1>this shout out from Kathy and Boston, she said, I

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.839
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to say I love hearing him on the show,

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>so shout out Mike.

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate that, Kelly.

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, like it feels weird to say I

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.960
<v Speaker 3>love hearing those things. But sometimes just like, oh yeah,

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 3>people know I exist.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>They absolutely know you exist. All right, we're getting into

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>these questions now. This first one's like odd, but I

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>obviously want to bring it up because I don't know

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>how or why she thought this. Maybe because your wife

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>tutors some of the kids in the family. But Katie said,

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is Mike's wife still a teacher?

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Never been a teacher.

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 3>She did do some tutering. She's very smart, much smarter

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 3>than than I am. She teaches me things, so in

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 3>that sense, she is a teacher. No, she also doesn't

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>tutor anymore. She did that in college and then just

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 3>loves teaching kids and I think that's always fun for her.

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>But now with her job, she just can't do it anymore.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>And what is her job? Just so the people can

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>know that she's not a teacher.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I don't know if she'd want me to say

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 3>not that it's yeah, but she not a teacher.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Not a teacher, Okay, just confirming for everyone out here.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm assuming that's why they think that's because

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>she did help tutor like Amy's kids and Eddie's too, right.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And she's talked about her job in college, which

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 3>she worked at the University of Texas, so she's always

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>been around education.

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Got it, Okay, So just some confusion there. Alissa and

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Illinois would like to know if you have any concerts,

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>big trips events planned for twenty twenty five.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, going into this year, I said to myself

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 3>and said to my wife, I'm a little bit over concerts.

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, And I think.

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 3>It was last year, I kind of completed my list

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 3>of artists that I'd never seen. I've now seen all

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 3>my big favorite artists. I've seen Blanklin eighty two, I've

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 3>seen Green Day, Post Malone in a stadium setting. I

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>don't know that there's anybody else that I would want

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>to see to pay the amount of money that concerts

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 3>cost these days. Yeah, I think the only other person

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 3>would probably be Tyler the Creator, but he just announced

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 3>that he's doing Bonnerout, and I don't want to go

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 3>to Bonnaroo. So there's really no one else that I

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>am dying to see in my lifetime.

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think, why don't you want to go to Bonnaru.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I like festivals were your thing though, especially like you

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>used to do the the mosh pit festivals.

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 3>Yea, but Bonnaru is like you have to go in

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 3>camp and be out far away, like if that if

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 3>Bonnarou was like in Nashville, I would go one hundred percent.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not about that life of going somewhere and

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>camping out, Like I would love to go to Coachella,

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 3>but I don't want to do that whole experience.

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'm past going to festival.

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 3>The only festival I could really ever see myself going

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 3>to now is maybe Lollapalooza, but that's just because I

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.919
<v Speaker 3>love Chicago and usually has a really good lineup. But

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I think for twenty twenty five, unless it's a smaller concert,

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 3>like a smaller band that I like that's playing a

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 3>club or like a medium sized venue, I think outside

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 3>of that, I'm not too into going to concerts this year.

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. It's funny you say that because I literally

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 1>we had done a bowling thing the other night and

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>it was really awesome. It was for a charity event.

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>But I looked at Lunchbox and I was like, I

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think I can do all the events this year.

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm tired. Like last year, I feel like

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I tried to do everything and go to all the shows,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I tired.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I think for me, like I feel like I'm a

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.839
<v Speaker 3>little bit jaded by the concert experience, just because with

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 3>our job, we have been able to go to a

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 3>lot of concerts, and I'm grateful for that, like we

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 3>get free tickets a lot of time to go to

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 3>these concerts. I guess it's that I want something a

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 3>little bit more out of the experience, and unless somebody

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>that I'm going to see is going to put on

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 3>like a real production where there's which is obviously an

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>expensive thing to do. Touring is more and more expensive

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 3>for artists, so I can see why some things are

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>scaled back. But unless I'm going to something that feels

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 3>like a big art piece and they have a lot

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 3>of different sets and stages and costume changes and it

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 3>feels like a big production, I don't think at this

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 3>point I could justify the price of having to pay

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>for concert tickets and not getting something that I feel

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 3>is worth my money.

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I do feel like that's how a lot

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>of people are starting to feel with concerts. So hopefully

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty five the price has come down at

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>least a little bit. I would be ideal for.

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Like real fans.

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 3>That's what's the thing about, Like people who love these

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 3>artists and want to go see them, and they can't

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>go see them because tickets get bought up and then

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 3>they're resold at an incredible amount and you can't even

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.799
<v Speaker 3>go see your favorite artists. So you're not even feeling

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.679
<v Speaker 3>filling these stadiums with real fans.

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just yeah, you know twenty twenty five. Let twenty

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty five be the year that all those ticket masters

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 1>scammers are gone with the wind. Yeah, what do you

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>do to discipline yourself for running and eating? Ride? This

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 1>is from Bobby, not Bobby Bones Bobby with I E.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 3>I think with running, I set out every week to

0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 3>kind of have a mileage I want to hit, and

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I just make a point of my day to do

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 3>it before I want to power down. So I try

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 3>to whether it be usually like the first thing after work,

0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, I'm gonna go get this run, and because

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 3>if I wait and do it later, I'm not going

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 3>to do it. And that's the only way I've been

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 3>able to discipline myself of getting it out of the

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 3>way as soon as possible. I think that's with anything,

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 3>with running, going to the gym, ending in my life,

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>the things I don't want to do, I try to

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 3>do first because you do them, you get them out

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 3>of the way, then it's not such a big deal,

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 3>and then you're done. You have the rest of the

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 3>day to do whatever else you want. It's about doing

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 3>those things you don't want to do when you don't

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 3>want to do them.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, you're really good about that you have really

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>good discipline, and discipline is something that you have to

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.960
<v Speaker 1>teach yourself. For sure. It sounds something that comes.

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Actually, I think for me, it probably took like

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 3>a solid three months to kind of build that up

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 3>in my head, and even like a full year until

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 3>it really became like a part of my DNA. So

0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 3>it does take some time. Because I have shared my

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.239
<v Speaker 3>story of losing weight. I've lost over one hundred pounds

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 3>and kept it off I think for going on eight

0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 3>or nine years now, and it's that kind of discipline

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.239
<v Speaker 3>you gain knowing that it's not going to happen super

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.280
<v Speaker 3>quick and not going to happen overnight that really allowed

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 3>me to do it because I failed a lot of

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>times before it actually stuck. And I don't talk about

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 3>those times. Most people don't talk about those times. You

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 3>remember the time that you actually accomplishment. Accomplish it. But

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 3>there were a lot of times where I would try

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 3>to develop these habits and I wasn't disciplined. I was motivated,

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 3>and I'd get motivated for like two weeks maybe a month,

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 3>but after that, I'm like, all right, I'll just go

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.960
<v Speaker 3>back and I fail this time. So there was a

0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 3>big difference in once I actually got disciplined of like

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 3>put things in place and gave myself these parameters to

0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 3>work in that it ends up sticking. So it is

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 3>hard to do. But I think it's once you form

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 3>that habit. It does take a few months, maybe a year,

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 3>that it'll kind of just get built into you and

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 3>then now I just don't even think about it. It's

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 3>just kind of how I roll.

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Yeah, you're you're great at that. You're you should

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 1>be like the motivational speaker for discipline. You've nailed it.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 3>It's really all just about developing a routine. I think

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm about I love checking things off a checklist. So

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 3>it's having that routine and having that checklist of like Okay,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna do this, I'm going to do that, And

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 3>as soon as that's checked off, that's just comforting to

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 3>me because I'm like, Okay, I did it.

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I can move on.

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I do love a checklist too. Isn't it weird

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.760
<v Speaker 1>how we all like love that feeling of like oh

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>mark that off, oh mark that off, like the feel

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>good feeling.

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Every day.

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.719
<v Speaker 3>I have a note that I'm like a working note

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 3>where I just put all the things I want to

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 3>do that day, and there's just some comfort of doing

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>it and then clearing it off the list and clearing

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 3>off the note.

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm. Absolutely. What is the latest braces update, Jenna.

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I have an appointment in a couple of weeks where

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna basically say I need these things off because

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.680
<v Speaker 3>I was supposed to have them off last summer, and

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 3>my orthodontists and my dentist have been working together to

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 3>try to fix some things and there's a lot more

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 3>going on in my mouth and just straightening my teeth.

0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>There is there's like teeth that.

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Don't line up a specific way, and I need to

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 3>get implants in, and they're trying to shift my bite

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 3>a little bit because I have like a weird not

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 3>even just the overbite, but a crossbite, which I didn't

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 3>really know was a thing I did either to me

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 3>so miss a line that we spent the last six

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 3>months of last year trying to get that fixed. So

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 3>my teeth are straight and I could get them off

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 3>now and move on to the next part of this,

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.679
<v Speaker 3>but I kind of allowed them to. I trusted them

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 3>and saying like, hey, we think we can work on this.

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 3>And get this fixed. But I think I'm at that

0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 3>point now where I think I just want them off,

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 3>like it is what it is. I don't think I'm

0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 3>trying to get perfect teeth. I think I've already felt

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot more confident where they are now and in

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 3>my appointment that I have coming on me, Like, yo,

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 3>how can we just move on of this now like

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 3>we tried it. I don't think it's going to get there.

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm just ready to have these things off. I'm turning

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 3>thirty four this year. I don't think I want to

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 3>turn another age and still have them on.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I mean you have to do whatever makes

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you feel happy and comfortable versus you know what everybody

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>else is trying to get you to do too, so

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I bet they would. But also like, if you want

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to keep doing it, keep doing it if it feels

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>good to you.

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like I don't mind having them like, it's more

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 3>so the people who are comment on everything I post

0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>saying when are you getting those off?

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 2>You've had those forever?

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Like I know, guys, like I am the person wearing these,

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm aware. I'm not unaware that I like, oh I

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.480
<v Speaker 3>still have them on. I'm aware and I am the

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 3>one going to all my appointments and doing all these

0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 3>things and paying for it. I am fully aware that

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.960
<v Speaker 3>I've had them for a long time, and I think

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 3>the thing I've just kind of felt in the last

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>few months is like I'm also just sick of having

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 3>them on my teeth, and like they've tried. They've added

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 3>more things tom and more things poke me in my mouth. Yeah,

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 3>they affect the way I speak a little bit. So

0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 3>I think I've reached my endpoint on that where even

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm at that point where I don't want to move

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 3>forward with them anymore as far as like trying anything else.

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 3>So I've reached the point that some people have reached online.

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Of being sick of them.

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.719
<v Speaker 1>A dang online people man that I mean, it is

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>not at all in any way the same, But there

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>was a part of me, like I'll be lying if

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 1>I said I didn't get rid of my banks because

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just tired of dealing with people call me

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>about it, Like, I do understand that.

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 3>It sucks when you post something it has nothing to

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>do with it, and that's all people want to bring

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 3>attention to. You're like, I just made this really great

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 3>post and all he cares about what is on my

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 3>face or what is on in my mouth.

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Literally, you're like, there's nothing else going on in your

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>life that it's more important than asking that question. But

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>that's why I say, like I did. I I got

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>rid of mine finally because I was tired of stiling

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 1>them because they were how much effort and work. But like,

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I did that for me, So just do it for you, though,

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>don't do it for the fricking people online, because you

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 1>gotta do whatever is gonna make you happy. They're gonna

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>do it regardless, and unfortunately, even if you get them off,

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.080
<v Speaker 1>then they're gonna have something else new that they're gonna

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 1>constantly comment on. So from after that, I listen, I

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know what they find. They find things, I promise

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you they find things. They're crazy over there. All right,

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>What movie are you most looking forward to in twenty

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty five? This is from Ashley.

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Before I saw.

0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 3>The Superman trailer, it was the New Captain America. But

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 3>I think after seeing that Superman trailer, I think that

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 3>is the one I'm looking forward.

0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>To the most.

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't say that the New Captain America gets me hyped

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>every time I see it.

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 3>It looks great, Red Hulk looks great. I think Harrison

0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Ford is going to be amazing in it. I can't

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 3>wait to see how Anthony Mackie steps up, and now

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.560
<v Speaker 3>that they're using more about the fight between Red Hulk

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 3>and Captain America, I think that is going to be amazing.

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.079
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to see what other characters are introduced,

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 3>because they have to introduce some other people in this movie.

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 3>I think this is gonna be a big piece for Marvel.

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 3>But when you look at superhero movies right now and

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 3>where people stand on them, I think what is gonna

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 3>happen with the Superman movie is going to be so

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 3>much bigger of a statement of superhero movies for the

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 3>next one year specifically, but for the next five years.

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 3>I think that is going to set an entirely different

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:38.520
<v Speaker 3>trajectory of creating that divide between Marvel and DC, which

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Marvel has always been seen as the best. DC has

0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 3>always been seen as the bomb. But I think if

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 3>that movie comes out and is as successful and changes

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 3>the tone and really shows you what DC characters are about,

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 3>that is also going to make Marvel have to be better.

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 3>So I think it's gonna be the competition between those

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 3>two studios that we need. It's like Coke and PEPSI

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.120
<v Speaker 3>like those two are competitors and it makes sodas better.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.680
<v Speaker 3>I think if DC can step it up and put

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 3>out movies, then not only fans love, but also make

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 3>a lot of money. That's going to challenge Marvel to

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 3>keep making movies that are also still testing that because

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna have real competition, especially especially if they start

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 3>putting out movies around the same time and battling against

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 3>each other. So I have also not been the biggest

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Superman fan just in my lifetime.

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Like he feels a lot more classic to me.

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 3>The comic itself dates way back before me, and I

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 3>feel if they can humanize him a little bit more

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>and broaden what people feel about Superman, I think that'll

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:46.479
<v Speaker 3>definitely change that perspective.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>You know what what made him a little bit more

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:56.400
<v Speaker 1>human for me was watching It's called the small ms Smallville.

0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's called Smallville with uh what'd you ask me?

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>C W show?

0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it was a CW show, uh or

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:09.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe Whovill, but it was it's about it's about Superman,

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>but it's yeah, it's Smallville and it's like his entire

0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>like actual there's like eight or nine seasons of it

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and I've bench watched all of them.

0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was huge back in the day.

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>M hm. That was one of the ones that when

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I was on my kick of rewatching things and I'd

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>gotten on all like the superhero stuff, and I went

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>down the rabbit hole of all the DC shows and

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 1>then somebody's like, oh, you have to watch Smallville, and

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>then I did. I was like, oh, shoot, this is

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 1>actually really good. So that one that one did do that.

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>So I will be curious to see if, like how

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>that movie makes me feel with all of the connections

0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>now that I have to DC, because I feel like

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I've watched everything in the DC world.

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think now that James Gunn is taking

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 3>over DC, who he's a great director. He did all

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 3>of the Guardian's movies and he is kind of going

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 3>to be the one who's going to be kind of

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 3>controlling everything as far as like we need to have

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 3>some cohesion here. These movies need to make sense and

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 3>they need to all match together. I think with him

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 3>behind it, I think it has the potential to be

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:17.160
<v Speaker 3>a really great movie.

0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:19.959
<v Speaker 1>What's the other Is he the one that did Suicide Squad?

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? These Suicide Squad not the bad one, but the

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:23.440
<v Speaker 2>better one.

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, sorry, gosh see this is also the problem with these.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, guys, I get it that you've been trying

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to like make them better, but like the fact that

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>there's multiple versions of the same thing stresses my brain out.

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what money's in a lot is there's

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:44.040
<v Speaker 3>different versions of Batman. They've had all these different characters

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 3>and mostly things that didn't work. It's streamlining it for

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:51.360
<v Speaker 3>people who aren't that familiar with everything and making them like, oh,

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.639
<v Speaker 3>this is how we're restarting everything and this is everything now.

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:57.720
<v Speaker 3>It's a tough thing to do because even me sometimes

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, how does this connect again?

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like, what are you guys doing now? Okay? Favorite

0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Post Malone country collaboration.

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 3>For me it's the Tim McGraw song hm hmm, the

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 3>first song on the country on his country album. Whenever

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 3>I heard that, I was like, I got to hear

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 3>this song live. And when I saw him performance live

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 3>he opened up his concert with that in Nashville, I was.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Like, Oh, this is perfect. This is exactly how I

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:22.199
<v Speaker 2>envisioned it.

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.280
<v Speaker 3>He has the flames and all the parts I thought

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 3>he would have the flames.

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I love Tim.

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 3>McGraw too, and I think them two together just feel

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 3>it like has like this rock and field to it.

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:35.040
<v Speaker 3>And man, when that song hit, like something hitted me where.

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I just got excited. That's my favorite one. I also

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 2>really like Paisley one.

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.400
<v Speaker 1>What is the title of the Tim McGraw one?

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Wrong ones?

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay? And then what's the title of the Brad Paisley one?

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Goes without saying, Okay, I think I've heard him, but

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I've deep dived on them. Okay,

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna have to go back and listen to these.

0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.200
<v Speaker 1>But those that's interesting of like the two one there,

0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I would have called those out

0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>for you.

0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like I don't.

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm not even the biggest Brad Paisley fan. But post

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.919
<v Speaker 3>Malone covering that Brad Paisley song was kind of what

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.959
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people associated with him first diving into country,

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.720
<v Speaker 3>even though he'd been covering a bunch of stuff on

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 3>YouTube before that, but that was the one that kind

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.360
<v Speaker 3>of blew up that people were like, oh, look, post

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Malome's doing country, and I feel like that relationship has

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.879
<v Speaker 3>always been there. So it was seeing them come together

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 3>and actually do something and put it on the album

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.720
<v Speaker 3>that kind of made that feel like it came full circle.

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 3>A really good catchy song.

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:30.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, I'm gonna have to go look at

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>both of those favorite movie theater snack from Kate.

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I love taking my own.

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Coffee You're killing me or Mike.

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I love.

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.720
<v Speaker 3>My favorite experience at a movie theater is my wife

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.240
<v Speaker 3>doesn't like horror movies. I love going to horror movies,

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 3>so I love taking in my own own cole brew

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 3>sitting right in the middle of the theater about two

0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 3>rows up from like the middle section. So I'm in

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 3>that perfect setting racking a coffee, which sparks my kind

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.959
<v Speaker 3>of anxiety because I'm like, all right, I'm capping up

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.200
<v Speaker 3>and now I'm watching something scary, so it heightens that experience.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.520
<v Speaker 3>And you can't get coffee at the movie theater, so

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.960
<v Speaker 3>I had to bring it myself. That is my perfect setting.

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Dang your movie, Mike, d Sneaking things in the movie theater.

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's also like, what am I gonna eat at

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 3>the movie theater, like they don't.

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>They don't have anything for me.

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 1>No, that's true, they don't. That's why I was like,

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I was curious what this answer would be. Well too,

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.440
<v Speaker 1>for all the all of us who do eat the

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 1>next there, it's definitely popcorn with eminem's. Did you ever

0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.439
<v Speaker 1>have that before you were on your vegan side?

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I love throwing anything into popcorn and having

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:43.120
<v Speaker 3>it melt.

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, the meltings. And you have to have

0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the perfect ratio. If you don't and those eminimums are cold,

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 1>it is not the same experience. But those eminems have

0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to be melted, and it is. I could just sit there.

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd eat the whole thing like you. The best part, though,

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 1>is I am that person in the movie theater that'll

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.679
<v Speaker 1>be digging like you'll. You're the popcorn because I'm digging

0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to get the eminence at the bottom.

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 2>That's good.

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh, last one to hear. Any plans. We did mention

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 1>this a little bit on part one. Any plans to

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>write a book, produce a movie about experiences with Bobby

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>one day.

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I would love to write a book about I guess

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 3>my entire experience with the show and just like my

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 3>life from moving here. I started journaling my life right

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 3>around twenty sixteen when I moved here, and I've been

0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 3>doing that consistently. Now twenty sixteen, how long I've been here?

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:36.879
<v Speaker 2>Nine years? Eight years?

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow? Wait, every single day or like once a week.

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:41.359
<v Speaker 1>What's the situation for.

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>A period of my life here.

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 3>I'd say from twenty sixteen to probably twenty eighteen, it

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.560
<v Speaker 3>was pretty consistently every day, if not the other day.

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.840
<v Speaker 3>And I was also traveling so much at that time

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:56.919
<v Speaker 3>that anytime I was on a plane or back of

0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 3>a car, I would journal. So I literally have this

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 3>log of just years of my life. So I've always

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 3>wrote that in thinking that someday I could turn this

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 3>into a book, because I read a book probably around

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:13.960
<v Speaker 3>that same time where that is what the entire book was.

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 3>It was like journal entries, and then in between it

0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 3>was a lot of narrative of this person's life. And

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I always thought that was a cool format because that's

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 3>something that when you write it, it's so raw and

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 3>it's just like, oh, here's this diary entry, but then

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 3>you can go back and tell a story around it.

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I just thought that was an interesting format, and also

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 3>for me who has trouble reading long books. Sometimes I

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 3>think it's a good way to go back and forth

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 3>of like here, I am reading a traditional book, but

0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 3>then there's a little excerpt here that really kind of

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:45.720
<v Speaker 3>gives you a dive into that person's life. So I

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 3>have years of that and sometimes I'll go through and

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:50.159
<v Speaker 3>read it and I'm like, Wow, this is crazy that

0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 3>I stuff that I wouldn't remember. It could just be

0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:54.240
<v Speaker 3>like a random Tuesday on a day where I was

0:22:54.280 --> 0:22:57.439
<v Speaker 3>feeling something. At the time, it felt insignificant, but you

0:22:57.480 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 3>look back on it like, oh, that was like a specific.

0:22:59.320 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Moment in my life.

0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.919
<v Speaker 3>So I think I don't know that it would be

0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.120
<v Speaker 3>entirely just my experience on the show, but it would

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 3>be like a chronological of my life during those early

0:23:12.640 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 3>stages of moving here for the show, and I think

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot of it probably would be about it because

0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:22.280
<v Speaker 3>it's surrounded with the travel that I did, like for touring,

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 3>going out for Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, that's

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 3>all in there, So it's obviously going to be embedded in,

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.119
<v Speaker 3>probably more so like my and Bobby's relationship, because a

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:34.679
<v Speaker 3>lot of that was all what I wrote about, and

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.119
<v Speaker 3>just like how that dynamic was, Yeah, oh.

0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>That would be super interesting, Mike, Like, really, that would

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.000
<v Speaker 1>be like a cool book to read, and just the

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.160
<v Speaker 1>setup and stuff that the idea that you have.

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 3>That's awesome, which is wild because of all the stuff

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.199
<v Speaker 3>I've been thinking about writing, I never thought of starting

0:23:51.200 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 3>with that, and now that I talk about it, I'm like,

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 3>I think that would be the easiest thing for me

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 3>to start with, because I wan My goal this year

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 3>was to write more create stuff and what I was

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 3>better at in the past year. Of like I mentioned

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 3>how I journal my life in the last year. Anytime

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I'd have any kind of idea for a movie or

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 3>a script or a short story, I have this big

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 3>wog of just all these small ideas that are titles

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:20.199
<v Speaker 3>and quick little synopsis of anything I hear that I'm like, oh,

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.159
<v Speaker 3>that could be a thing, I write it down. So

0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 3>my idea was to go this year pick out some

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:26.720
<v Speaker 3>of the best ones, which I've already kind of started

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 3>doing and fleshing them out a little bit. But that's

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 3>totally like fiction and a lot harder to write, which

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:36.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm finding that it's hard to build a world, it's

0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 3>hard to write dialogue and to write something that somebody

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 3>could take and turn into something else. So I think

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 3>now I kind of have two directions to go in

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 3>where I can't take some of the stuff I already

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 3>have and it's already written.

0:24:49.320 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, that's totally true. And doesn't it make you

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 1>think of like stan Lee who came up with all

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the Marvel stuff and he was just like, how where

0:24:57.800 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you know what? I mean? Like, this is wow that

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:01.440
<v Speaker 1>people have the thoughts. But I think you sit down

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.760
<v Speaker 1>long enough, I think some of that sets just starts

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of flowing naturally. So I'm excited for you.

0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 3>I think a lot of it is just observing and

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:14.480
<v Speaker 3>being in tune with the things around you and hearing things.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 3>A lot of the things I write down are things

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.000
<v Speaker 3>we talk about on the show. Somebody will say a

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.920
<v Speaker 3>concept or say something and I think that could be something,

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 3>and I write it down in the moment while we're

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.080
<v Speaker 3>doing the show, and I'll come back to it later

0:25:26.119 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 3>and think about it more. Sometimes they're jokes, sometimes their

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 3>movie ideas. Sometimes they're just things that I think could

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.120
<v Speaker 3>be a bit later. But I think it's just observing

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 3>the world around you and taking time to write it

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:39.199
<v Speaker 3>down because that's the hardest thing of You can have

0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:40.840
<v Speaker 3>a great idea, but if you don't write it down,

0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 3>you're not going to remember it. So I've just tried

0:25:43.480 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 3>to get into the process of even if it seems

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 3>like dumb, and even if I go back and look

0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:49.320
<v Speaker 3>and think like why did I even write that down,

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:51.679
<v Speaker 3>just write it down because you never know what it

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 3>could turn into.

0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, listen twenty twenty five for Mike d could

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.280
<v Speaker 1>be a big year Japan writing a book. I mean,

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean the options are endless.

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 3>I would have eighteen hours on a flight. I could

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 3>definitely get some writing done.

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>You definitely could. Maybe that's why you have to go

0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.239
<v Speaker 1>so you have to sit in a place and you

0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>have to write for eighteen hours.

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Good idea.

0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Michael, thanks for joining me, Thanks for taking time
