Amy’s son Stevenson is crushing it as the fastest man we know, while her boyfriend is filling a “coach” role. JUST IN CASE we say spoilers ahead for The Summer I Turned Pretty series finale, but don’t think we actually gave anything away. We did get into all of it though including Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah. Morgan’s in a new phase of her life that has less socializing and less cheese.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Behind a scene with a member of the show, Welcome
to the weekend, everybody, Amy is joining me.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
What's up aby, Hi, Hi Morgan, Thanks for being here,
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We need all the live updates. What's been going on
with you lately? How are you doing? How's the boyfriend,
how's the kids? All the things?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Everybody's doing good. I was gonna say great, and I
was like, well, is everybody great?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I feel great though, ever, I mean, I guess good
is good.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, Like, there's not much to report. Stevenson is.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Just impressing me left and right with his running skills.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I saw a video of him the other day and
he just looks so happy.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Running out of cross country. Right now, we're headed to
sectionals and then state, so I've got that in a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So he's training to be.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Like a track runner high school, college beyond.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I mean, we're just going to take it day by day,
but most definitely in high school, because he's already one
of the fastest kids. In eighth grade. Him and this
other kid kind of alternate first place on the team.
Last night, he got first for his team fifth overall,
But I'm convinced. I'm like, I really think that the
(01:22):
one through four he could have gone there. I think
it's a mental thing for him now, is trying to
believe that he can do it and then pushing himself
earlier and then I feel like his mind will take
over towards the end. Which it's come in handy that
my boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Was a collegiate athlete and ran track at EVA.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, he was a decathlete, okay'athlete. Well, I was going
to say Bruce Jenner, now, Caitlin Jenner.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's what.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I don't know all the details, but I think he's
like ten different events or something.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Decathlee. We'd have to look up. I don't know the exact,
but I think it's ten.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Okay. A decatholic is an athlete who participates in the decathlon,
a track and field event consisting of ten different events
spread over two days, including running, jumping, and throwing disciplines.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah. So he was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
One of those at UVA. And he is a good coach.
You know, he's got three kids, they're all athletes. And
the other day he was saying he felt like he
missed his calling to be a basketball coach, and he's
kind of bummed because he ended up going to law school.
His dad's a lawyer, and he's kind of like, I
really feel like I missed out on coaching, like I
(02:40):
should have done that. And I think he thinks he
could have worked his way up, and maybe he could have.
I don't know, but I do see how he coaches
his kids, and he's offered Stevenson a lot of advice
when it comes to running or a lot of coaching.
And I'm very thankful for that because Ben and I
didn't run track, Like I didn't even know there really
was stress for that. I did run cross country in
(03:01):
high school, but that was just my pe credit, so
I competed, but I didn't really compete, Like I wasn't finishing.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I was in the on the bottom half.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh heck no. I heard you say his milesl or
his mile time the other day on the show, and
I was like, I'm pretty sure that takes me like
fifteen minutes to complete a mile if I'm doing good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, he's finishing two miles in like eleven minutes and
fifteen seconds and I'm not even done with one.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Mile.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So did he have a coach before any of this?
I know you said your boyfriend's out helping him, but like,
I've always thought about that with track and field athletes,
because like, did they just wake up one day and
they're just a good runner.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think that you there is strategy behind it. And
I had ignorance as well, again because I wasn't like
a competitive runner. But there is definitely strategy, and I
saw my boyfriend offer that to Stevenson last night, especially
knowing kind of how some of the other runners are
and what their tendencies are and maybe trying to push
(03:57):
yourself at certain points so it pushes the other runners
and then they fall back because then they don't have
the stamina towards the end. And some of Stevenson's is
really just mindset. And yeah, there's strategy you throw in.
So to answer your question, yeah, they're running coaches. I've
we've looked into Stevenson getting some because so far my
(04:17):
boyfriend's just in verbal stuff, like he's not gotten out
on the track.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
With him and done like physical and physical training.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's just been verbal, which I think is awesome because
also explaining to a kid what you mean by going
a certain percentage faster, like which was some of the
advice last night, like going faster out of the gate.
But then Stephen's like, why I don't want to sprint
the beginning because then I'm going to be tired. He goes,
I didn't say sprint. I don't want you to sprint.
I want you to go like half a second faster
(04:47):
per mile. I mean, and I don't even know how
you break that down. But somehow Stevenson interpreted some of
the advice and I'm probably butchering in if my boyfriend
were to hear this back, He's like, that's all what
I've said, but he had thankful for the extra encouragement.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Your boyfriend, didn't he also help you with your basketball train?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
He did, yes, which that was he could have. He
was going to either play basketball in college or run track.
And I don't know where the basketball was. I don't
think it was Uba. I think he was that was
going to be somewhere else, and then he decided to do.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Track and he's he's still an athlete today. Like does
he super fit? Does he like to go work out? Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
He works out every day and he has tries to
stay very fit.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
He's now.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
He was fifty two when I started dating him, and
now he's fifty three. But I don't know, I don't
tell the difference. Yes, And that's how he was described
to me whenever I was being set up with him.
They were like, he's an athlete, and I was like,
what does that even mean?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
He's in his fifties.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, so he was a college athlete. I was thinking,
like Uncle Rico moment, so like I still live in
the glory days.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
But that's not how he is.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He doesn't even talk about it, uh unless I ask questions,
which I obviously I haven't gotten many of the details
that barely know what a decathlete is. But uh, he
has remained active. And I think also in the last
six seven years, ever since his wife got sick with
cancer and then passed away, he started to really shift
(06:20):
how he takes care of himself because he you know,
obviously that became a concern of like they learned a
lot on her journey, and so he still has fun
and like lives life, but he definitely, you know, is
very regimented with moving his body and eating.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
A certain way.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Helf conscious, health conscious, yeah, but more so not out
of it's more so for what's the internal functionings of
his body, not vanity or Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, he's eating to take care of himself, and as
he's aging, he's wanting to feel better and keep feeling
good and so much of that.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Because he said before his wife got sick, he ate
pretty terribly, and then they had to adjust for her sake,
like she could no longer eat that way, and then
that just shifted his focus.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
And then I think he.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Was always active, but then yeah, he felt even better,
and so it's been like a win win for his health.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, even though he didn't get to be a coach,
and he chose even still a very successful path now,
but he got to coach you in basketball and now
he gets sick, yes, and coach Stevenson in track and field.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I mean, yeah, he was definitely a part of me
making my what did I make thirty? Yeah, I mean
your goal thirty minutes or something.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, So he's he's getting to relive the coaching thing
that he wanted, just probably not in the way that
he pictured. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yes, I'm like I should remind him of that. I'm like,
but you are a coach, remember here It is on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
What about with his kids? Are you doing? Is there
anything like that where you have a special connection with
any of them?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Uh? Where I offer advice and coaching.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I mean his daughter with dating. Okay, I don't know
that I always have the best, but I am.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I'm a listener.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'm a good listener, and uh, I hope she can
see that I am there and am expressing interest. And
even as boys like, we talk about dating a lot,
like they have on and they always either have a girlfriend,
but then like a week will go by and be like,
oh we broke up. I'm like already and that the
(08:21):
next day I said, I know, I'm like, oh yeah,
they're thirteen and fifteen, so yeah, they're learning.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
What all that means.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So I guess that okay, not yeah, I mean if
they play soccer. I never played soccer.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I don't know anything about it other than when I
try to watch them and soccer.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Does a girls play soccer?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
She plays lacrosse, which I know nothing about.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh wow, I don't know anything about lacrosse either.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I watch and I'm like they're throwing the ball around
and then they yeah, yeah, I just I cheer. Yes,
I am supportive, but No, I can't offer coaching on
lacrosse or basketball or soccer, any homework or anything like that, honestly, Nope.
And they're very disciplined with their homework, very So.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, what's it been like for yous having the Blended family?
I really picture like Drew Barrymore Adam Sandler movie Blended.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Oh, I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, it's cute. It's a cute movie. You should watch
that sometime.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
But okay, I'll have to watch it. I'll add it
to my list which you need to watch the wrong parents.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I did as soon as you talked about it. I
watched it that day.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Okay, it's so cute.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It was. It was the perfect cheesy rom com that
I needed.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
And then this week was the finale of the summer.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yes, which we are going to get into.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So okay, i'll pause, but that'll be my I mean
coming up next Tuesday. I was thinking, well, that'll be
my Tuesday or Tuesday because it's over. We finally finished it. Anyway,
we'll get.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Back to that honestly at this season.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, it's I don't know what the movie is, like,
I do think if we were to ever all be
under one roof. It would feel very different, but that
is down the line. I'm not saying that's happening now,
But right now it feels like we're living two very
separate lives and we try to be there for our
(10:15):
kids and each other when we can, but school is
in full force and things are very busy. In fact,
we even hopped on the phone last night. I was
leaving Stevenson's race and he was out at his son's
golf tournament or match or whatever you call it for school.
So he's on one end of town at golf. I'm
on a complete opposite end of town for cross country,
(10:37):
and he was like.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I miss you.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I don't even know the last time I saw him.
I was like, I know, I miss you too. We talk,
but I have not seen him. And he also was
in LA for work at the beginning of the week,
so I think maybe, okay, the last time I saw
was Sunday. So you think, like, okay, you're dating, you
would normally see your boyfriend, but it's just not that,
especially on the weeks that I have my kids, it's
not and things are really busy. It's we don't dating
(11:04):
with kids. It's just so much different and maybe if
we lived closer to each other. So sometimes it feels like,
even though we live in the same town, ish like
we're dating long distance.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I was gonna say, is there moments where you're like, a,
are we just friends? Are we are we sure we're dating?
Like what's happening here?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah? No, I mean it's the struggle is real. I'm
sure other people can relate to it too, and maybe
some people, Yeah, you have to go longer.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I don't mind it because I understand it, but I
also miss him, Like even Steven's and I we were
driving last night, we were like, should we just drive
out there and surprise them and say hi? And for
about five minutes of our drive home from the cross
country meet, I was like, that sounds like a fun idea.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I want to do it.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But the closer we got to our house, like we
would have to pass the exit to our house to
get to his, and that would have been another We
were already far. Cross country meets are sometimes far out
around in the middle of nowhere, and I lost steam
and I was like, oh man, I'm so tired. I
was like, we got to go home. You have a homework,
We're gonna take shower. We picked up dinner for Stashira,
you know. Yeah, so then we just bailed. And then
(12:05):
later that later that night before bed, I told him
I was like Stevens and I almost drove out to
surprise y'all. And he was like, oh my gosh, we
would have loved that. I'm like, dang, we should.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Have done it. But but it's hard when.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
And to wake up early for work like doing. But
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So it's it's like a little differently dating than probably
you anticipated.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I would say the summer.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
This summer I got a different dose of like us
hanging out way more. But I I don't know what
it's like. I mean, I dated him last fall, but
it was new. I don't even met his kids yet.
And then in the spring, I don't know if things
were as busy. I feel like fall is just.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
There's so many sports that happened in the fall, So everything,
for some reason, happens in the fall.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, so we're getting we're getting used to it.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But again, if we were under the same roof, I
feel like we would still be like ships passing sometimes
because you got.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Kid here, kid there, kid over here.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, you got a lot going on, but at least
we would pass each other in the halls a little quick.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
High kiss bye instead of on the phone, Hi bye,
I can't see you.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, okay, Well, now he's had a beard for a
long time and I facetimed with them the other day
and he shaved his beard and I was.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Like, what where did it go? I didn't even know
you could just you guys can start having this really
fun interaction where like you put on a wig or
you dye your hair every other week.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
And you know, like this different person.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, just changed it all the time.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Forgot what my girlfriend looked like.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Messed with his head a little bit. All right, we're
gonna take a quick break here, and if you have
not watched the series finale of Summer I Turned Pretty,
maybe take a break.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
It's series.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
It's done, it's done. So we're gonna we're gonna get
into this. Okay, we may say some spoilers, so I'm
giving you a full a full like.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I am not being a part of this. I'm Morgan.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, it's okay, you do as long as you say
that you're going to. It's if you do it without saying, hey,
there was a spoiler. Okay, So just if you have
not watched anything, Okay, it's really hard to talk about
a show and a series finale if you can't say anything.
So this is my full bland before we get into break.
Do not go into this next break if you have
not watched or you do not want to be in
any version spoiled of the Summer I Turned Pretty?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Okay? So yes, it is the series finale. The Summer
I Turned Pretty is officially over. But did you see
as soon as they dropped the last episode, there's now
the Summer I Turned Pretty Movie.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I did not know there was going to be a movie.
So now I feel excited because I need more, so
do I which is weird.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And it's weird because I do feel like they did
a really good job of wrapping it with a bow
and ending it with conclusions. But there's just I just
want to keep following it, but I don't want to
follow it, like you know when something continues of a
show and you're kind of sad because it's just dies
off and it's not very good anymore. Yes, I'm glad
that they didn't do that, but i'd be sad because
(14:53):
I want to now know where this all goes, like
we got it pretty bow, but I want to know
what happens after the bow.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I need to know. I'm like, where are we? What
are we doing?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I know, so there's a movie. I don't know when.
I don't know what. I have no idea the premise,
but it is Belly in the Person and that's where
I'm going to try not to spoil anything, but Belly
in the Person. And that's the movie. They posted it
said Summer I turn pretty movie.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Where did you see that?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
On their official Instagram? Okay, and the two actors they
like shared it. Okay, so it's official. This is not
like somebody made it up.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Now, I didn't these this was a book, right, Yeah? Okay,
I didn't read the books obviously. I just had a
question if it was. So I don't know if the
I wonder if the movie stuff was the movie stuff
in a book somewhere.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, so, to my knowledge, I didn't read the books either,
but to my knowledge, most of season three was not
in the books. Okay, So at this point they're writing
for the show. Yeah, they wrote for the show and
then obviously the movie. I don't know if Genny Hann
is going to write another book and that book is
going to turn into the movie. Who knows at this
point because it's become such a pop culture thing that
(16:02):
she might just have to mm hmm, kind of like
how Harry Potter and it was like all these spinoffs
after because it did so well, or Twilight, that kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Well, if you were thinking about starting it again, because
I don't think we're really spoiling too much. No, but
I wanted to give it full if you're thinking about
starting it. So there's two brothers, Jeremiah and Conrad, and
this season, in particular, the third season, Conrad's hair is
driving me crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I saw you posts and he said, I just want
to cut his hair.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yes, it's like just like an inch like some scissors
off the bangs like why and why?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I don't know? And then does he have too much
makeup on?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Do they all?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Does Jeremiah and Conrad too much makeup? Too much? Bass
foundation they have about it?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Listen, I was smoking on a whole lot of a
lot of other things I don't know that I paid
attend to.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Okay, I am focusing on the hair and makeup situation,
and I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Well it's happening there. I do agree with the hair.
The hair was very not to school. I think they're
trying to make Conrad very mysterious and like artsy type
and you want to question and I don't know if
they have bangs covering his eyes are supposed to be
part of that goal or what.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
But he's in med school, Like yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
But he's this kind of like mysterious. He's the one
that you always, you know, want to pursue, but you
kind of question him.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's kind of the vibe they give
off about it. They could take an inch and still
he can have the same vibe.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well listen, but for sure in medical school, if he
has that, Harry's not gonna be seeing what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
True.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm like, no, we have got to get rid of this.
So anyway, I know other people when I do post
about it, they're like same, same, same. So it's got
to be a common frustration h very much. I was like,
are they just trolling us at this point? Like they
know they know they need to cut his hair, but
they're like, we're just gonna keep it this away because
we know it's anay.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And maybe it makes people talk about it, So that's
part of it too. Were you team Jeremiah team Conrad
kind of throughout the series team Conrad the whole time,
pretty much even season two. When I were asking me
to remember how I felt season two, I don't even
remember what I did yesterday. I'm pretty sure I haven't.
(18:13):
Maybe there have been an episode where I've been Team Jeremiah,
but not the whole season. More overarching, it's been Connie. Okay,
Connie Baby. I've definitely been a team one was Conrad.
Team season two was, Season one was Conrad, season two
was Jeremiah. Season three was pretty quickly back to Conrad.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, and Jeremiah had those round glasses this season, you
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
When he put them on to propose to her. I
was like, well, he barely.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Ever wears these glasses, and now he has to put
these weird glasses on.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh my gosh, I know, I.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Know there, trust me. There's so many moments where I'm like,
why am I watching this show? And then I'm like, no,
I'm obsessed. I can't.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I was smiling at the TV last night, so what's
I And the first half of the episode, I was multitasking.
I typically always am when I'm watching something. But second
half I was laying in bed finishing it and I
had forgotten that I had the rest, and I was
on the phone with my boyfriend about to go to bed,
and his thirteen year old was inside. He was in
(19:14):
his living room and walked through and he was like, oh, hey,
what are you watching? And he's like the summer? I
turn pretty he's thirteen. And then my boyfriend was like, oh,
are you if you watch the finale yet? And I said, oh, shoot,
I started it earlier and I forgot but what I
was on my computer, So I know there's things I missed.
So part of me has thought maybe this weekend or
(19:37):
at some point if I have some downtime, you know,
like on the plane or chilling, I could rewatch the
whole thing. Like that's how much I liked it, and
I know there's things that I missed that I probably
would enjoy that just make me forget about the real world.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And get lost in some young adult.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I love a young adult, don't they give me every time?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But like we started with them when they were high
schoolers and then now they're at least out of college.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There are young adults they're in their twenties now. And
I will say the last the series finale gave me
a mix of so many emotions throughout the whole thing,
like they'd be happy and then they'd be angry, and
then there'd be what is happening? And then it was like,
like you said, I was sitting there smiling. I was
laying down on the couch watching it, and towards like
the end of the episode, I'm like full sat up,
(20:28):
like my head is like engaged with what's happening on
the TV scram I'm like, what is going to happen
right now? But that was like a quick emotional change
where I went from what is going on? To holy
crap very quickly and so and it was funny because
my I normally watch it as soon as it comes
out because thankfully we have a job where I can
go home in the afternoon and I don't get spoiled online.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
But I was gonna ask you for your boyfriend's watching it.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
He has been watching it with me, but so before
yesterday he was like, Hey, do you want to watch
the summer? I turned pretty together. I was like, duram it?
I have to watch wait for you to get up
her to my house to watch this, and I was like,
I guess we can watch it together. He's like okay, cool.
So him being invested, I was like, okay, I'll wait
for you. But I had to dodge online so hard
(21:11):
because there was so many spoilers, like within two hours
of it getting put up. Oh really, yes, So I
was stressed. And now I was like, okay, I'm just
gonna set my phone away for a couple hours and
I need to watch this show.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah I wouldn't. I didn't know if so many spoilers
were being posted.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh yeah, it was everywhere I had, Like I even
saw friends were posting. Were like, dang it, I just
got spoiled. I'm getting off of line, like so many
people have been watching this show.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, my friend Gracie and I will text about it.
But well, I wanted to text a reaction. I guess
it was maybe last week's episode, and I was trying
to text right away about what had happened, and then
I was like, oh, shoot, maybe she hasn't watched yet,
so I better say have you watched this week's episode?
And then if she said yes, then I could dive
into my issues with it. There were a couple episodes
(21:57):
this year I was like what or this year this
where you're.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Just like what. Yeah, I had several of those moments throughout.
If you do want a show that's similar, like you
need your fix until whenever we get the movie, who knows?
My Life with the Walter Boys is very similar?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Where do you watch that?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Netflix?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
My Life with the Walter Boys? Okay, well, I've never
even heard of this. Yep, there's a big.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
One on Netflix, probably because Summer I Turn Pretty has
been so massive. It's really overtaken any version of teen dramas.
But My Life with the Walter Boys will give you
the same fix.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Awesome. How many seasons are there?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
There's not two seasons the new the second one just
came out perfect, So you have plenty. You have something
to go through.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, Well, because I have been rewatching Scandal, but the
world is so crazy right now. I mean it generally
sort of just has been for quite some time now,
but in particular this last week, and so while I
have an obsession with Scandal and I've really loved rewatching it,
it's a bit much, yeah, for everything that's happening. So
(23:02):
I need I need, like Summer I Turn Pretty or
the Wrong Paris yep, type vibes yep.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And that's exactly what the Wrong Paris do for me,
because I've watched it. Was funny somebody posted a thing
where it was like all the shows that you can
watch that are like Summer I Turn Pretty, and I
was like, dang, I think I've watched all of these,
so that I think I have a pattern of behavior
and things that I watch. I'm very much like you.
I don't like when the when things are going bad.
I want to watch things that remind me that things
(23:29):
aren't bad. Like I need an escape from my little phone.
I need to see things that are put me outside
of my head. Yes, so that's definitely what they're doing.
So yes, My Life with the Walter Boys watch that
one on Netflix, and then there's also The Buccaneers on
Apple TV plus that will also satisfy that.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
What it's the Buccaneers like, it's kind of like, is
that a meet Summer I Turned Pretty in a way Okay,
not like Summer I Turn Pretty, but from the like
a different era.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Kind of yes, but different. You're not like two brothers situation.
My Life with the Walter Boys. There's a whole family
situation happening. That one's very similar, but Buccaneers is just
similar vibes. You'll get the same kind of adrenaline hit
what's the what's opening?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Thank you, yeah for that. So those are some two
recommendations for you to jump into. We're gonna take a
quick break and we'll be right back. But yeah, you
did give me the wrong Paris. And I really liked
that movie, and that one was on Netflix. I love
Mirana Cosgrove.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, it was weird seeing her like all grown up.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yes, she was somebody I watched growing up. I Carly
was one of my favorite shows, like as a kid,
so watching her newer roles has been kind of strange.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But she was so good, so good, And I thought
that guy did a really good job and.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It wasn't as cheesy as I thought it was gonna be. Yeah,
I think they did a lot better.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I was there for it, and it got me ready
for I bet it's normally like October burr twentieths or so,
we're probably a month away from the Hallmark Christmas type
movies rolling out, and not just on Hallmark obviously anymore.
Like all the different versions they start in that late
October timeframe.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And honestly, I'm very much considering starting to put my
Christmas stuff up. I put my fall stuff out, but
I don't know that it's gonna last very long. I
don't know why. I'm just in ad.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Put your fault and.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right now the fall stuff is out. I just put
it up this week. It's always hard for me to
put fall stuff up when it's still ninety one degrees outside. Yea,
I quite feeling it's the fall.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I have a pumpkin, but only because Chase was at
my house last week and my friend Chase and my
brother in law and my niece and my brother in
law needed limes or something. So he texted Chase. He's like,
if you're not to the house yet, can you stop
and get limes? And so he did. He's like, I
got limes and a pumpkin, and so now I have
a pumpkin on.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
My front porch.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
And he got like the most like the weird looking
just one ce weird deformed like stem.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, it's just one.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, it's just one pumpkin. It's not the one I
would have picked out that It's fine. I'm still I
feel like in the false spirit. But that's I think
I'll probably decorate for Christmas like November first.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I see, and that's normally when I decorated November first.
But I don't know the way the world's making me feel.
I think I might be decorating a lot sooner. Yeah,
I think I might be even pushing that back further.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Can't blame you for that, because.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Like I love Halloween, I love October. It's my birthday month.
But once I like kind of celebrate my birthday October Fest,
then you know, I'm kind of over it.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
At that point, we have a special guest coming in.
I texted Ray to come in here real quick before
he left while we're recording.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
But Ray's birthday present.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I wonder. I thought that was a pizza that you
brought in. It looks like a.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Pizza boll Yeah, No, it's raised gift. So his birthday
was what gosh, I'm sorry, Ray, this is this gift
is over ten days late. But when I went to
order it, I thought, well, surely they'll have express shipping,
and I had like three days to get it, but
there was no express shipping option, no expedited anything. You
(27:15):
just had to be patient in wait and it finally.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Arrived and.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Okay, it's a Stevenson Ranch sweatshirt.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, just a brand that I'm not familiar with. Oh.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Ray's obsessed with Stevenson Ranch, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Why are you obsessed with Stevenson Ranch. Mike stud all
the people are involved in it. He's like this huge wrapper.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Look at this. I'm gonna wear this every day.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Who's Mike Studd. He's a rapper.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Okay, he's a white rapper. He's the next eminem Oh
he's like okay, okay, guys, Okay. So it's like a
gray hoodie has his cool label on the side that
says Stevenson Ranch Owl.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Check out the owl on the sleeves.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Owl on the sleeve.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Nice And it's got a hood with a zipper, which
is a total I've never seeing anything like that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Look for this on the bobby bone every day, I
have no You're right, I've never seen a hoodie with
the ziffer. Normally just a hoodie would design that.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
But he'll you'll see some of Ray's hats. They're really cool.
A lot of country artists wear the hats. They have
an S in an R and it looks like a brand.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I've never realized this brain.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Now that you're I bet you'll start to see it.
Thank you, thank you, thanks for stopping by. The best bits,
Happy birthday.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Right, thank you delated.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I don't even know what we're talking about, but that
was a cute gift. He's excited.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Well. I sent it to his wife and was like, well,
I sent a few options and I was like, which one, Like,
which sweatshirt do you think Ray would like? Because he's
he's interesting you He's yes, And I was like, I
don't want to get on something that he wouldn't like.
I mean, I think anything Stevens and Ranch she would like,
but if there was a particular vibe. And she sent
back that one. She's like, I think this one. I
was like, oh, perfect, cause a lot of the ones
(29:01):
I really liked were sold out, so.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's a popular brand. Isn't that so funny? With fashion?
I feel like we just like somebody wears one thing
and then all of a sudden, everybody wants it, and
then that just keeps happening, you know what I mean?
Like I feel like that's how we get our big brands,
and then they go away forever, like they get super
popular and everybody wears them, and then like two years later,
you never hear from them again.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well, sometimes I'm kind of late to the party and
I'm like, wait what, I just bought this, it's already out, literally.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
And that's what happens. It's so crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I think this isn't a particular brand, but it's a style.
But for a while, when the barrel jeans first came out,
I was like, oh no, I could never wear those.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
No, And then fast forward.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I probably got these last fall, so it probably took
me a year and a half or longer to get
on board. And even I was gifted these because I
did a fundraiser with a boutique here in town and
they gifted me these barrel jeans, and I was like,
oh no, I don't thank you, but I'm probably never
gonna wear these. And then the more I had them,
the more I kind of the longer I had them,
(30:06):
the more they were in my closet, like maybe I
should try them on with this, And now they're probably
my most worn jeans. But it took me this long
to get on board with them. That now that they're
my favorite jeans. They're probably gonna go out of thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know. They look really good
on you. I could never my little, my little short body,
would I think I would look like a michelin man. Yes, yeah,
because you're five foot three fourths of an How tall
are you? You?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Ray and I are the same height, Okay, yeah, five cents,
but you go.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It's distributed differently. You've got that tall, pretty pretty body raised.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I'm a muscular tall. I just think it's for girl.
I mean, I guess for a girl, I'm tall, especially
for you because you're five.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Okay, Everything above five to one is tall to me,
so if that's right.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
It's interesting. I always wanted to be five to seven,
but I don't know why just one inch different than
one inch?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, I'm just kind of like, dang, which was five seven?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Is it because there's just a few things you can't
quite reach?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Or I don't know. I just thought five to seven
would be the perfect height. But I don't really think
about it much anymore. It's just the thought I used
to have. Yeah, like if I could just like stretch
my legs a little longer, or my torso or something.
My honestly, probably where it came from was when I
was a kid. My half sister, Kim is she might
(31:29):
be five to seven five seven and a half, and
I she just I always looked up to her. My
older sister, Christy, she's shorter than me, so Kim was
like the tall one. And so that's probably where that
came from, is like I want to be.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Tall like Kim.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Interesting, but it's all relative because my sister's like, oh,
well you are tall, you're five to six, because I
think my sister's five.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Four, Okay, so she's shorter too. Yeah, my whole it's funny.
My two my two half sisters are taller, but one
of them is like much taller. She's like six foot,
and then you have a sister that's six foot pretty
close to it, but she's like five eleven.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Well yeah, even five eleven in your.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I'm the shortest out of all the girls in my family.
I got blessed with that gene. Even my mom, who
I think is five three. I'm like, you couldn't have
given me just a.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Little bit more so, how told your dad?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
My dad's six foot. I don't know how tall that
sister's dad is, So I'm not sure where that came from.
We're assuming somewhere in there. But yeah, with my mom
and no that the small height runs and the mom's
Jean's for sure, you would think my dad would have
given me some. But no, here, I am just I'm like,
you could have just at least made like an inch
shorter and then I could have, you know, maybe got
(32:42):
some government money or something for my ride. That's the thing.
I don't know that actually that might be the lie.
I think if you're under five feet tall you can
get money for being short, really like as a disability.
Oh I don't know that that's true. And whoever told
me that and you lied to me? That's really rude.
But I did get told a lot, and maybe it
was to make fun of me, and I just never
(33:02):
realized it.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Oh yeah, so there we are. There's the short thing. Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
And before Rey came in, Yeah, you're right, I don't know.
I think we were just talking about I know you
said buccaneers. Yeah, I don't know if we had moved
on from that, but I was like saying, it's a
different era, and you were giving TV show recommendations which
I appreciate because I'm always looking for stuff to.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, you've been watching a lot of stuff lately. You've
been good about watching stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, that's what I'm and I mean rewatching Scandal again.
I might be doing other things. I'm sure there's stuff
I missed, like I could. There's stuff I do not
remember from last time I watched this. And I mean
when Ben and I were married, Scandal was one of
our favorite shows to watch together, Like, we were very
dedicated to that show. And I'm like, what, I just
do not remember this happening. So one day I'll get
(33:52):
to rewatch Scandal again because I'll be like, no, I
missed this part completely. But I kind of like that
stuff goes in and out. That's not really what I
want to hold on to. I just want to be
either entertained or taken away. But again, with Scandal right now,
it's just a little too close to home and heavy.
They'll have like some shooting and then it's a conspiracy
and then you're like, who did it? And then you
realize it's on the inside. And I'm not saying that
(34:12):
I believe that's what's happening, but your brain is and
it's like divisive to people, and you're.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Just like, oh, well, there's shows that are designated to
make you think and make you relate to what's happening
in your life, and then there's shows that make you forget,
and there are shows that take you to a completely
different place.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
They have all genres for that reason, and scandal just
happens to be one. Yes, a little bit more fictional too,
or non fictional.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
To real life yeah, too close to home.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah so okay, Well, anything else you want to add
before we jump out of here? No?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Well, I mean, I don't know if we're going to
do in like the Q and A. But I know
I gave a life update in the beginning, but I
was curious if you had one.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
I feel like, I was like, talk talk, talk.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
About I love when you talk about it the track
and whatnot, but I was curious if you have a
life update or how your life is right now.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
It's good. It's a bit chaotic. I'm like deep and
still deep in my detax cleanse. I'm going on over
a month now, which has been a complete lifestyle change
and really hard. But I feel good. I feel really
healthy right now, and I feel like it's working, but
it's always stuff that takes time. So I'm trying to
have a lot of patience and grace for myself throughout
(35:24):
all of it. And it's also, i mean drastically changing
the fact that I've had to really pull back on
just socializing and stuff, because this is really hard to
like go out in the world and try and be healthy,
honestly trying to go to bars and have food and stuff.
There's no options. There's no way for me to do
what I'm trying to do and also be out in that.
(35:45):
So I've really had to just kind of pull back
on a lot of things that I used to do
a lot, which is good for the season of my life,
but it's been a change. It's been a lot to
adjust to. And my boyfriend's been so super supportive. He'll
do like the Extended Fast with me, and he'll will
cook dinners together and stuff and they're completely vegan and
(36:05):
gluten free and he's like, yeah, this is great, let's go.
Or he'll he'll like add his steak or whatever wherever
he wants to. But he's been super supportive, which has
also made that process a lot easier for sure. So
and then you know, the animals are finally at a
place where they're both manageable, but they're still managing. You know.
It's one of those things that that's never going to change.
Now we all have stuff that we have to manage.
(36:27):
So I feel like my life went from oh, this
is easy PC just you know, care free to holy crap,
life smacked me in the face and had a big
wake up call, feels like. But I feel really good,
especially with having the partner that I do now. He's
just he's so I don't know that anybody else I've
(36:48):
dated before would have ever been the same way in
this situation.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
It's like he came at the right time.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Exactly, and he's he's showed up in ways that I
never thought somebody would show.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Up for me, Like you have a teammate, yes, very much.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
So really just knows how to take care of me
and help me and still allow me to be the
independent person I am, while also helping me break down
those barriers of wanting to just do stuff myself. And
that's been a cool experience. But it's just like it
feels like my entire just like world's side down in
(37:20):
a great way, and also just a hard way, and
that's what life does to you, especially as pets and
people age and things change. But it's been that season
of life for me right now. So I feel like work.
I'm just kind of like, Okay, I gotta work, I
gotta get my stuff done, and then I got to
focus on me and my life right now and take
(37:41):
care of me and the animals and him. So it's
been a weird change for me lately. I don't know
if you've noticed that at all. I've just been a
little bit more like, Okay, I'm here, I'll do my
work and then I just kind of leave.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
And yeah, like you said, it's also been good for you.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
You meaner is still You're still the same kind, thoughtful,
hard working Morgan. Like some people might be dealing with
stuff you're dealing with. They might be a little more
frazzled or frantic or kind of in and out and
you kind of notice that, but you're, yes, you're kind
of in, you're out, and you're doing your thing, but
it's not dramatic.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Well that's good to know. I'm glad that that it's
going off that way. It's funny, my the integrative health practitioner,
I'm working with she was like, well, so we were like,
we're about a month into this. She's like, your body
is in some deep stress and we got to get
you out and it's gonna be hard because you're still
in stress. That's just how you operate. Your body now
(38:39):
operates that way, and we got to get it out
so you can like start safely handling stress again. And
that's probably been the most frustrating thing. Like, so she's
determined my stress because my body timp is low, I
don't regulate super well, and my heart rate stays pretty high,
and those two things are starting to finally level out
a little bit. But it's like like a constant state
(39:02):
of fight or flight is my body's been in for
years because it was a long COVID long COVID probably
that really hard relationship that I went through and I
mentally healed. I don't know that my body ever healed.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Like your nervous system, and it just like in.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
The stress of just working a lot. I work all
the time. I don't really remove myself.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
From social media anything ever.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, so I think all of it just combined and
she's like, but you're still in that state. You're still
operating in a stressful environment sometimes, so you have to
you have to detox it and then be able to
handle it again. And it's just a big learning curve.
So it's been a and I have to there's supplements
I'm on right now that are literally called calm because
(39:47):
which I need multiple times a day because my body
is not golm.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Well, you'll you'll learn a lot and be able to
help others that are going through it too. And tips
and yeah, it's not that they're tips and tricks are
like literally things that are helping you. But you know,
you can come alongside other people that are going through
it because sometimes I'm like, oh wait, I don't know
what I'm supposed to take for this, and maybe Morgan
will know.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely learning a lot of things and
figuring out what's beneficial and you know, and she's so
awesome because she's so careful of like none of this
is you have to be restrictive now, but it's not
a restrictive lifestyle, like you have to be restrictive to
make yourself healthy again and then you go back to
like a balanced life to She's like, there's never a
point where you should be living.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Right, It's not always a severe Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
It's just we have to, like, you have to be
able to not have stress anymore for you to even detox.
I'm like, well, we have a we have a while
to go, We'll get there. But honestly, the probably the
worst part about all of it is that I can't
eat cheese. I really miss cheese, Like I don't even
miss dessert. And I thought dessert would be the thing
that'd be the cheese, like even goat. Yeah, I can't
(40:56):
have any dairy right now, and that it makes me
really sad. I'll walk into a grocery store and see
a whole g section. I'll just stand there and be like,
I wish I could have any bit of this and
I can't.
Speaker 4 (41:06):
Can't. You gotta walk away. It's so hard, so do
it for the nervous system.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
It really is. I'm having to remind myself of that.
But that's what's going on right now.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
So Okay, Well, good update. Yeah, I mean I know
a lot, but still good stuff.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Good stuff, yes, And I'm I'm happy that both of
us are happy. Yes, I'm also just excited because they
look back at both of our lives about a year
from now, and we were just having different conversations and
you were learning to date. I was thinking I was
never going to dating it. Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (41:36):
You're like helping me set up a profile. You're like,

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Behind a scene with a member of the show, Welcome
to the weekend, everybody, Amy is joining me.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
What's up aby, Hi, Hi Morgan, Thanks for being here,
Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We need all the live updates. What's been going on
with you lately? How are you doing? How's the boyfriend,
how's the kids? All the things?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Everybody's doing good. I was gonna say great, and I
was like, well, is everybody great?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I feel great though, ever, I mean, I guess good
is good.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, Like, there's not much to report. Stevenson is.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Just impressing me left and right with his running skills.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I saw a video of him the other day and
he just looks so happy.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Running out of cross country. Right now, we're headed to
sectionals and then state, so I've got that in a
couple of weeks.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
So he's training to be.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Like a track runner high school, college beyond.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I mean, we're just going to take it day by day,
but most definitely in high school, because he's already one
of the fastest kids. In eighth grade. Him and this
other kid kind of alternate first place on the team.
Last night, he got first for his team fifth overall,
But I'm convinced. I'm like, I really think that the
(01:22):
one through four he could have gone there. I think
it's a mental thing for him now, is trying to
believe that he can do it and then pushing himself
earlier and then I feel like his mind will take
over towards the end. Which it's come in handy that
my boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Was a collegiate athlete and ran track at EVA.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, he was a decathlete, okay'athlete. Well, I was going
to say Bruce Jenner, now, Caitlin Jenner.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That's what.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I don't know all the details, but I think he's
like ten different events or something.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Decathlee. We'd have to look up. I don't know the exact,
but I think it's ten.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Okay. A decatholic is an athlete who participates in the decathlon,
a track and field event consisting of ten different events
spread over two days, including running, jumping, and throwing disciplines.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah. So he was.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
One of those at UVA. And he is a good coach.
You know, he's got three kids, they're all athletes. And
the other day he was saying he felt like he
missed his calling to be a basketball coach, and he's
kind of bummed because he ended up going to law school.
His dad's a lawyer, and he's kind of like, I
really feel like I missed out on coaching, like I
(02:40):
should have done that. And I think he thinks he
could have worked his way up, and maybe he could have.
I don't know, but I do see how he coaches
his kids, and he's offered Stevenson a lot of advice
when it comes to running or a lot of coaching.
And I'm very thankful for that because Ben and I
didn't run track, Like I didn't even know there really
was stress for that. I did run cross country in
(03:01):
high school, but that was just my pe credit, so
I competed, but I didn't really compete, Like I wasn't finishing.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I was in the on the bottom half.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh heck no. I heard you say his milesl or
his mile time the other day on the show, and
I was like, I'm pretty sure that takes me like
fifteen minutes to complete a mile if I'm doing good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, he's finishing two miles in like eleven minutes and
fifteen seconds and I'm not even done with one.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Mile.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
So did he have a coach before any of this?
I know you said your boyfriend's out helping him, but like,
I've always thought about that with track and field athletes,
because like, did they just wake up one day and
they're just a good runner.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I think that you there is strategy behind it. And
I had ignorance as well, again because I wasn't like
a competitive runner. But there is definitely strategy, and I
saw my boyfriend offer that to Stevenson last night, especially
knowing kind of how some of the other runners are
and what their tendencies are and maybe trying to push
(03:57):
yourself at certain points so it pushes the other runners
and then they fall back because then they don't have
the stamina towards the end. And some of Stevenson's is
really just mindset. And yeah, there's strategy you throw in.
So to answer your question, yeah, they're running coaches. I've
we've looked into Stevenson getting some because so far my
(04:17):
boyfriend's just in verbal stuff, like he's not gotten out
on the track.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
With him and done like physical and physical training.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
It's just been verbal, which I think is awesome because
also explaining to a kid what you mean by going
a certain percentage faster, like which was some of the
advice last night, like going faster out of the gate.
But then Stephen's like, why I don't want to sprint
the beginning because then I'm going to be tired. He goes,
I didn't say sprint. I don't want you to sprint.
I want you to go like half a second faster
(04:47):
per mile. I mean, and I don't even know how
you break that down. But somehow Stevenson interpreted some of
the advice and I'm probably butchering in if my boyfriend
were to hear this back, He's like, that's all what
I've said, but he had thankful for the extra encouragement.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Your boyfriend, didn't he also help you with your basketball train?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
He did, yes, which that was he could have. He
was going to either play basketball in college or run track.
And I don't know where the basketball was. I don't
think it was Uba. I think he was that was
going to be somewhere else, and then he decided to do.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Track and he's he's still an athlete today. Like does
he super fit? Does he like to go work out? Yes?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
He works out every day and he has tries to
stay very fit.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
He's now.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
He was fifty two when I started dating him, and
now he's fifty three. But I don't know, I don't
tell the difference. Yes, And that's how he was described
to me whenever I was being set up with him.
They were like, he's an athlete, and I was like,
what does that even mean?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
He's in his fifties.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
What?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, so he was a college athlete. I was thinking,
like Uncle Rico moment, so like I still live in
the glory days.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
But that's not how he is.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
He doesn't even talk about it, uh unless I ask questions,
which I obviously I haven't gotten many of the details
that barely know what a decathlete is. But uh, he
has remained active. And I think also in the last
six seven years, ever since his wife got sick with
cancer and then passed away, he started to really shift
(06:20):
how he takes care of himself because he you know,
obviously that became a concern of like they learned a
lot on her journey, and so he still has fun
and like lives life, but he definitely, you know, is
very regimented with moving his body and eating.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
A certain way.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Helf conscious, health conscious, yeah, but more so not out
of it's more so for what's the internal functionings of
his body, not vanity or Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, he's eating to take care of himself, and as
he's aging, he's wanting to feel better and keep feeling
good and so much of that.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Because he said before his wife got sick, he ate
pretty terribly, and then they had to adjust for her sake,
like she could no longer eat that way, and then
that just shifted his focus.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
And then I think he.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Was always active, but then yeah, he felt even better,
and so it's been like a win win for his health.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Well, even though he didn't get to be a coach,
and he chose even still a very successful path now,
but he got to coach you in basketball and now
he gets sick, yes, and coach Stevenson in track and field.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I mean, yeah, he was definitely a part of me
making my what did I make thirty? Yeah, I mean
your goal thirty minutes or something.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, So he's he's getting to relive the coaching thing
that he wanted, just probably not in the way that
he pictured. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yes, I'm like I should remind him of that. I'm like,
but you are a coach, remember here It is on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
What about with his kids? Are you doing? Is there
anything like that where you have a special connection with
any of them?
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Uh? Where I offer advice and coaching.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I mean his daughter with dating. Okay, I don't know
that I always have the best, but I am.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
I'm a listener.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'm a good listener, and uh, I hope she can
see that I am there and am expressing interest. And
even as boys like, we talk about dating a lot,
like they have on and they always either have a girlfriend,
but then like a week will go by and be like,
oh we broke up. I'm like already and that the
(08:21):
next day I said, I know, I'm like, oh yeah,
they're thirteen and fifteen, so yeah, they're learning.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
What all that means.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
So I guess that okay, not yeah, I mean if
they play soccer. I never played soccer.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I don't know anything about it other than when I
try to watch them and soccer.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Does a girls play soccer?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
She plays lacrosse, which I know nothing about.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Oh wow, I don't know anything about lacrosse either.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
I watch and I'm like they're throwing the ball around
and then they yeah, yeah, I just I cheer. Yes,
I am supportive, but No, I can't offer coaching on
lacrosse or basketball or soccer, any homework or anything like that, honestly, Nope.
And they're very disciplined with their homework, very So.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, what's it been like for yous having the Blended family?
I really picture like Drew Barrymore Adam Sandler movie Blended.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Oh, I've never seen it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh, it's cute. It's a cute movie. You should watch
that sometime.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
But okay, I'll have to watch it. I'll add it
to my list which you need to watch the wrong parents.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I did as soon as you talked about it. I
watched it that day.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Okay, it's so cute.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It was. It was the perfect cheesy rom com that
I needed.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
And then this week was the finale of the summer.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yes, which we are going to get into.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
So okay, i'll pause, but that'll be my I mean
coming up next Tuesday. I was thinking, well, that'll be
my Tuesday or Tuesday because it's over. We finally finished it. Anyway,
we'll get.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Back to that honestly at this season.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Okay, it's I don't know what the movie is, like,
I do think if we were to ever all be
under one roof. It would feel very different, but that
is down the line. I'm not saying that's happening now,
But right now it feels like we're living two very
separate lives and we try to be there for our
(10:15):
kids and each other when we can, but school is
in full force and things are very busy. In fact,
we even hopped on the phone last night. I was
leaving Stevenson's race and he was out at his son's
golf tournament or match or whatever you call it for school.
So he's on one end of town at golf. I'm
on a complete opposite end of town for cross country,
(10:37):
and he was like.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I miss you.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I don't even know the last time I saw him.
I was like, I know, I miss you too. We talk,
but I have not seen him. And he also was
in LA for work at the beginning of the week,
so I think maybe, okay, the last time I saw
was Sunday. So you think, like, okay, you're dating, you
would normally see your boyfriend, but it's just not that,
especially on the weeks that I have my kids, it's
not and things are really busy. It's we don't dating
(11:04):
with kids. It's just so much different and maybe if
we lived closer to each other. So sometimes it feels like,
even though we live in the same town, ish like
we're dating long distance.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I was gonna say, is there moments where you're like, a,
are we just friends? Are we are we sure we're dating?
Like what's happening here?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Yeah? No, I mean it's the struggle is real. I'm
sure other people can relate to it too, and maybe
some people, Yeah, you have to go longer.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I don't mind it because I understand it, but I
also miss him, Like even Steven's and I we were
driving last night, we were like, should we just drive
out there and surprise them and say hi? And for
about five minutes of our drive home from the cross
country meet, I was like, that sounds like a fun idea.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
I want to do it.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But the closer we got to our house, like we
would have to pass the exit to our house to
get to his, and that would have been another We
were already far. Cross country meets are sometimes far out
around in the middle of nowhere, and I lost steam
and I was like, oh man, I'm so tired. I
was like, we got to go home. You have a homework,
We're gonna take shower. We picked up dinner for Stashira,
you know. Yeah, so then we just bailed. And then
(12:05):
later that later that night before bed, I told him
I was like Stevens and I almost drove out to
surprise y'all. And he was like, oh my gosh, we
would have loved that. I'm like, dang, we should.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Have done it. But but it's hard when.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
And to wake up early for work like doing. But
we'll see.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
So it's it's like a little differently dating than probably
you anticipated.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
I would say the summer.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
This summer I got a different dose of like us
hanging out way more. But I I don't know what
it's like. I mean, I dated him last fall, but
it was new. I don't even met his kids yet.
And then in the spring, I don't know if things
were as busy. I feel like fall is just.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
There's so many sports that happened in the fall, So everything,
for some reason, happens in the fall.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, so we're getting we're getting used to it.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
But again, if we were under the same roof, I
feel like we would still be like ships passing sometimes
because you got.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Kid here, kid there, kid over here.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, you got a lot going on, but at least
we would pass each other in the halls a little quick.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
High kiss bye instead of on the phone, Hi bye,
I can't see you.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, okay, Well, now he's had a beard for a
long time and I facetimed with them the other day
and he shaved his beard and I was.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Like, what where did it go? I didn't even know
you could just you guys can start having this really
fun interaction where like you put on a wig or
you dye your hair every other week.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
And you know, like this different person.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, just changed it all the time.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Forgot what my girlfriend looked like.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Messed with his head a little bit. All right, we're
gonna take a quick break here, and if you have
not watched the series finale of Summer I Turned Pretty,
maybe take a break.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
It's series.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
It's done, it's done. So we're gonna we're gonna get
into this. Okay, we may say some spoilers, so I'm
giving you a full a full like.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
I am not being a part of this. I'm Morgan.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, it's okay, you do as long as you say
that you're going to. It's if you do it without saying, hey,
there was a spoiler. Okay, So just if you have
not watched anything, Okay, it's really hard to talk about
a show and a series finale if you can't say anything.
So this is my full bland before we get into break.
Do not go into this next break if you have
not watched or you do not want to be in
any version spoiled of the Summer I Turned Pretty?
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Okay? So yes, it is the series finale. The Summer
I Turned Pretty is officially over. But did you see
as soon as they dropped the last episode, there's now
the Summer I Turned Pretty Movie.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I did not know there was going to be a movie.
So now I feel excited because I need more, so
do I which is weird.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And it's weird because I do feel like they did
a really good job of wrapping it with a bow
and ending it with conclusions. But there's just I just
want to keep following it, but I don't want to
follow it, like you know when something continues of a
show and you're kind of sad because it's just dies
off and it's not very good anymore. Yes, I'm glad
that they didn't do that, but i'd be sad because
(14:53):
I want to now know where this all goes, like
we got it pretty bow, but I want to know
what happens after the bow.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I need to know. I'm like, where are we? What
are we doing?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I know, so there's a movie. I don't know when.
I don't know what. I have no idea the premise,
but it is Belly in the Person and that's where
I'm going to try not to spoil anything, but Belly
in the Person. And that's the movie. They posted it
said Summer I turn pretty movie.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Where did you see that?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
On their official Instagram? Okay, and the two actors they
like shared it. Okay, so it's official. This is not
like somebody made it up.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Now, I didn't these this was a book, right, Yeah? Okay,
I didn't read the books obviously. I just had a
question if it was. So I don't know if the
I wonder if the movie stuff was the movie stuff
in a book somewhere.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Well, so, to my knowledge, I didn't read the books either,
but to my knowledge, most of season three was not
in the books. Okay, So at this point they're writing
for the show. Yeah, they wrote for the show and
then obviously the movie. I don't know if Genny Hann
is going to write another book and that book is
going to turn into the movie. Who knows at this
point because it's become such a pop culture thing that
(16:02):
she might just have to mm hmm, kind of like
how Harry Potter and it was like all these spinoffs
after because it did so well, or Twilight, that kind
of thing.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Well, if you were thinking about starting it again, because
I don't think we're really spoiling too much. No, but
I wanted to give it full if you're thinking about
starting it. So there's two brothers, Jeremiah and Conrad, and
this season, in particular, the third season, Conrad's hair is
driving me crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I saw you posts and he said, I just want
to cut his hair.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yes, it's like just like an inch like some scissors
off the bangs like why and why?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I don't know? And then does he have too much
makeup on?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Do they all?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Does Jeremiah and Conrad too much makeup? Too much? Bass
foundation they have about it?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Listen, I was smoking on a whole lot of a
lot of other things I don't know that I paid
attend to.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
Okay, I am focusing on the hair and makeup situation,
and I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Well it's happening there. I do agree with the hair.
The hair was very not to school. I think they're
trying to make Conrad very mysterious and like artsy type
and you want to question and I don't know if
they have bangs covering his eyes are supposed to be
part of that goal or what.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
But he's in med school, Like yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
But he's this kind of like mysterious. He's the one
that you always, you know, want to pursue, but you
kind of question him.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's kind of the vibe they give
off about it. They could take an inch and still
he can have the same vibe.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well listen, but for sure in medical school, if he
has that, Harry's not gonna be seeing what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
True.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm like, no, we have got to get rid of this.
So anyway, I know other people when I do post
about it, they're like same, same, same. So it's got
to be a common frustration h very much. I was like,
are they just trolling us at this point? Like they
know they know they need to cut his hair, but
they're like, we're just gonna keep it this away because
we know it's anay.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
And maybe it makes people talk about it, So that's
part of it too. Were you team Jeremiah team Conrad
kind of throughout the series team Conrad the whole time,
pretty much even season two. When I were asking me
to remember how I felt season two, I don't even
remember what I did yesterday. I'm pretty sure I haven't.
(18:13):
Maybe there have been an episode where I've been Team Jeremiah,
but not the whole season. More overarching, it's been Connie. Okay,
Connie Baby. I've definitely been a team one was Conrad.
Team season two was, Season one was Conrad, season two
was Jeremiah. Season three was pretty quickly back to Conrad.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, and Jeremiah had those round glasses this season, you
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
When he put them on to propose to her. I
was like, well, he barely.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Ever wears these glasses, and now he has to put
these weird glasses on.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh my gosh, I know, I.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Know there, trust me. There's so many moments where I'm like,
why am I watching this show? And then I'm like, no,
I'm obsessed. I can't.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I was smiling at the TV last night, so what's
I And the first half of the episode, I was multitasking.
I typically always am when I'm watching something. But second
half I was laying in bed finishing it and I
had forgotten that I had the rest, and I was
on the phone with my boyfriend about to go to bed,
and his thirteen year old was inside. He was in
(19:14):
his living room and walked through and he was like, oh, hey,
what are you watching? And he's like the summer? I
turn pretty he's thirteen. And then my boyfriend was like, oh,
are you if you watch the finale yet? And I said, oh, shoot,
I started it earlier and I forgot but what I
was on my computer, So I know there's things I missed.
So part of me has thought maybe this weekend or
(19:37):
at some point if I have some downtime, you know,
like on the plane or chilling, I could rewatch the
whole thing. Like that's how much I liked it, and
I know there's things that I missed that I probably
would enjoy that just make me forget about the real world.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And get lost in some young adult.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I love a young adult, don't they give me every time?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
But like we started with them when they were high
schoolers and then now they're at least out of college.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
There are young adults they're in their twenties now. And
I will say the last the series finale gave me
a mix of so many emotions throughout the whole thing,
like they'd be happy and then they'd be angry, and
then there'd be what is happening? And then it was like,
like you said, I was sitting there smiling. I was
laying down on the couch watching it, and towards like
the end of the episode, I'm like full sat up,
(20:28):
like my head is like engaged with what's happening on
the TV scram I'm like, what is going to happen
right now? But that was like a quick emotional change
where I went from what is going on? To holy
crap very quickly and so and it was funny because
my I normally watch it as soon as it comes
out because thankfully we have a job where I can
go home in the afternoon and I don't get spoiled online.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
But I was gonna ask you for your boyfriend's watching it.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
He has been watching it with me, but so before
yesterday he was like, Hey, do you want to watch
the summer? I turned pretty together. I was like, duram it?
I have to watch wait for you to get up
her to my house to watch this, and I was like,
I guess we can watch it together. He's like okay, cool.
So him being invested, I was like, okay, I'll wait
for you. But I had to dodge online so hard
(21:11):
because there was so many spoilers, like within two hours
of it getting put up. Oh really, yes, So I
was stressed. And now I was like, okay, I'm just
gonna set my phone away for a couple hours and
I need to watch this show.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah I wouldn't. I didn't know if so many spoilers
were being posted.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Oh yeah, it was everywhere I had, Like I even
saw friends were posting. Were like, dang it, I just
got spoiled. I'm getting off of line, like so many
people have been watching this show.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Yeah, my friend Gracie and I will text about it.
But well, I wanted to text a reaction. I guess
it was maybe last week's episode, and I was trying
to text right away about what had happened, and then
I was like, oh, shoot, maybe she hasn't watched yet,
so I better say have you watched this week's episode?
And then if she said yes, then I could dive
into my issues with it. There were a couple episodes
(21:57):
this year I was like what or this year this
where you're.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Just like what. Yeah, I had several of those moments throughout.
If you do want a show that's similar, like you
need your fix until whenever we get the movie, who knows?
My Life with the Walter Boys is very similar?
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Where do you watch that?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Netflix?
Speaker 3 (22:15):
My Life with the Walter Boys? Okay, well, I've never
even heard of this. Yep, there's a big.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
One on Netflix, probably because Summer I Turn Pretty has
been so massive. It's really overtaken any version of teen dramas.
But My Life with the Walter Boys will give you
the same fix.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Awesome. How many seasons are there?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
There's not two seasons the new the second one just
came out perfect, So you have plenty. You have something
to go through.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah, Well, because I have been rewatching Scandal, but the
world is so crazy right now. I mean it generally
sort of just has been for quite some time now,
but in particular this last week, and so while I
have an obsession with Scandal and I've really loved rewatching it,
it's a bit much, yeah, for everything that's happening. So
(23:02):
I need I need, like Summer I Turn Pretty or
the Wrong Paris yep, type vibes yep.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
And that's exactly what the Wrong Paris do for me,
because I've watched it. Was funny somebody posted a thing
where it was like all the shows that you can
watch that are like Summer I Turn Pretty, and I
was like, dang, I think I've watched all of these,
so that I think I have a pattern of behavior
and things that I watch. I'm very much like you.
I don't like when the when things are going bad.
I want to watch things that remind me that things
(23:29):
aren't bad. Like I need an escape from my little phone.
I need to see things that are put me outside
of my head. Yes, so that's definitely what they're doing.
So yes, My Life with the Walter Boys watch that
one on Netflix, and then there's also The Buccaneers on
Apple TV plus that will also satisfy that.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
What it's the Buccaneers like, it's kind of like, is
that a meet Summer I Turned Pretty in a way Okay,
not like Summer I Turn Pretty, but from the like
a different era.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Kind of yes, but different. You're not like two brothers situation.
My Life with the Walter Boys. There's a whole family
situation happening. That one's very similar, but Buccaneers is just
similar vibes. You'll get the same kind of adrenaline hit
what's the what's opening?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Thank you, yeah for that. So those are some two
recommendations for you to jump into. We're gonna take a
quick break and we'll be right back. But yeah, you
did give me the wrong Paris. And I really liked
that movie, and that one was on Netflix. I love
Mirana Cosgrove.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yeah, it was weird seeing her like all grown up.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yes, she was somebody I watched growing up. I Carly
was one of my favorite shows, like as a kid,
so watching her newer roles has been kind of strange.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But she was so good, so good, And I thought
that guy did a really good job and.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
It wasn't as cheesy as I thought it was gonna be. Yeah,
I think they did a lot better.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
I was there for it, and it got me ready
for I bet it's normally like October burr twentieths or so,
we're probably a month away from the Hallmark Christmas type
movies rolling out, and not just on Hallmark obviously anymore.
Like all the different versions they start in that late
October timeframe.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And honestly, I'm very much considering starting to put my
Christmas stuff up. I put my fall stuff out, but
I don't know that it's gonna last very long. I
don't know why. I'm just in ad.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Put your fault and.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right now the fall stuff is out. I just put
it up this week. It's always hard for me to
put fall stuff up when it's still ninety one degrees outside. Yea,
I quite feeling it's the fall.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I know.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I have a pumpkin, but only because Chase was at
my house last week and my friend Chase and my
brother in law and my niece and my brother in
law needed limes or something. So he texted Chase. He's like,
if you're not to the house yet, can you stop
and get limes? And so he did. He's like, I
got limes and a pumpkin, and so now I have
a pumpkin on.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
My front porch.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
And he got like the most like the weird looking
just one ce weird deformed like stem.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know, it's just one.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, it's just one pumpkin. It's not the one I
would have picked out that It's fine. I'm still I
feel like in the false spirit. But that's I think
I'll probably decorate for Christmas like November first.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I see, and that's normally when I decorated November first.
But I don't know the way the world's making me feel.
I think I might be decorating a lot sooner. Yeah,
I think I might be even pushing that back further.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Can't blame you for that, because.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Like I love Halloween, I love October. It's my birthday month.
But once I like kind of celebrate my birthday October Fest,
then you know, I'm kind of over it.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
At that point, we have a special guest coming in.
I texted Ray to come in here real quick before
he left while we're recording.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
But Ray's birthday present.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
I wonder. I thought that was a pizza that you
brought in. It looks like a.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Pizza boll Yeah, No, it's raised gift. So his birthday
was what gosh, I'm sorry, Ray, this is this gift
is over ten days late. But when I went to
order it, I thought, well, surely they'll have express shipping,
and I had like three days to get it, but
there was no express shipping option, no expedited anything. You
(27:15):
just had to be patient in wait and it finally.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Arrived and.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Okay, it's a Stevenson Ranch sweatshirt.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, just a brand that I'm not familiar with. Oh.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Ray's obsessed with Stevenson Ranch, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Why are you obsessed with Stevenson Ranch. Mike stud all
the people are involved in it. He's like this huge wrapper.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Look at this. I'm gonna wear this every day.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Who's Mike Studd. He's a rapper.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Okay, he's a white rapper. He's the next eminem Oh
he's like okay, okay, guys, Okay. So it's like a
gray hoodie has his cool label on the side that
says Stevenson Ranch Owl.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
Check out the owl on the sleeves.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Owl on the sleeve.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Nice And it's got a hood with a zipper, which
is a total I've never seeing anything like that.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Look for this on the bobby bone every day, I
have no You're right, I've never seen a hoodie with
the ziffer. Normally just a hoodie would design that.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
But he'll you'll see some of Ray's hats. They're really cool.
A lot of country artists wear the hats. They have
an S in an R and it looks like a brand.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I've never realized this brain.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Now that you're I bet you'll start to see it.
Thank you, thank you, thanks for stopping by. The best bits,
Happy birthday.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Right, thank you delated.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
I don't even know what we're talking about, but that
was a cute gift. He's excited.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Well. I sent it to his wife and was like, well,
I sent a few options and I was like, which one, Like,
which sweatshirt do you think Ray would like? Because he's
he's interesting you He's yes, And I was like, I
don't want to get on something that he wouldn't like.
I mean, I think anything Stevens and Ranch she would like,
but if there was a particular vibe. And she sent
back that one. She's like, I think this one. I
was like, oh, perfect, cause a lot of the ones
(29:01):
I really liked were sold out, so.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's a popular brand. Isn't that so funny? With fashion?
I feel like we just like somebody wears one thing
and then all of a sudden, everybody wants it, and
then that just keeps happening, you know what I mean?
Like I feel like that's how we get our big brands,
and then they go away forever, like they get super
popular and everybody wears them, and then like two years later,
you never hear from them again.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Well, sometimes I'm kind of late to the party and
I'm like, wait what, I just bought this, it's already out, literally.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
And that's what happens. It's so crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I think this isn't a particular brand, but it's a style.
But for a while, when the barrel jeans first came out,
I was like, oh no, I could never wear those.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
No, And then fast forward.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I probably got these last fall, so it probably took
me a year and a half or longer to get
on board. And even I was gifted these because I
did a fundraiser with a boutique here in town and
they gifted me these barrel jeans, and I was like,
oh no, I don't thank you, but I'm probably never
gonna wear these. And then the more I had them,
the more I kind of the longer I had them,
(30:06):
the more they were in my closet, like maybe I
should try them on with this, And now they're probably
my most worn jeans. But it took me this long
to get on board with them. That now that they're
my favorite jeans. They're probably gonna go out of thousand.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know. They look really good
on you. I could never my little, my little short body,
would I think I would look like a michelin man. Yes, yeah,
because you're five foot three fourths of an How tall
are you? You?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Ray and I are the same height, Okay, yeah, five cents,
but you go.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
It's distributed differently. You've got that tall, pretty pretty body raised.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
I'm a muscular tall. I just think it's for girl.
I mean, I guess for a girl, I'm tall, especially
for you because you're five.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Okay, Everything above five to one is tall to me,
so if that's right.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
It's interesting. I always wanted to be five to seven,
but I don't know why just one inch different than
one inch?
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Yeah, I'm just kind of like, dang, which was five seven?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Is it because there's just a few things you can't
quite reach?
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Or I don't know. I just thought five to seven
would be the perfect height. But I don't really think
about it much anymore. It's just the thought I used
to have. Yeah, like if I could just like stretch
my legs a little longer, or my torso or something.
My honestly, probably where it came from was when I
was a kid. My half sister, Kim is she might
(31:29):
be five to seven five seven and a half, and
I she just I always looked up to her. My
older sister, Christy, she's shorter than me, so Kim was
like the tall one. And so that's probably where that
came from, is like I want to be.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Tall like Kim.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Interesting, but it's all relative because my sister's like, oh,
well you are tall, you're five to six, because I
think my sister's five.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Four, Okay, so she's shorter too. Yeah, my whole it's funny.
My two my two half sisters are taller, but one
of them is like much taller. She's like six foot,
and then you have a sister that's six foot pretty
close to it, but she's like five eleven.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
Well yeah, even five eleven in your.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I'm the shortest out of all the girls in my family.
I got blessed with that gene. Even my mom, who
I think is five three. I'm like, you couldn't have
given me just a.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Little bit more so, how told your dad?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
My dad's six foot. I don't know how tall that
sister's dad is, So I'm not sure where that came from.
We're assuming somewhere in there. But yeah, with my mom
and no that the small height runs and the mom's
Jean's for sure, you would think my dad would have
given me some. But no, here, I am just I'm like,
you could have just at least made like an inch
shorter and then I could have, you know, maybe got
(32:42):
some government money or something for my ride. That's the thing.
I don't know that actually that might be the lie.
I think if you're under five feet tall you can
get money for being short, really like as a disability.
Oh I don't know that that's true. And whoever told
me that and you lied to me? That's really rude.
But I did get told a lot, and maybe it
was to make fun of me, and I just never
(33:02):
realized it.
Speaker 4 (33:03):
Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Oh yeah, so there we are. There's the short thing. Okay.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
And before Rey came in, Yeah, you're right, I don't know.
I think we were just talking about I know you
said buccaneers. Yeah, I don't know if we had moved
on from that, but I was like saying, it's a
different era, and you were giving TV show recommendations which
I appreciate because I'm always looking for stuff to.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, you've been watching a lot of stuff lately. You've
been good about watching stuff.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Yeah, that's what I'm and I mean rewatching Scandal again.
I might be doing other things. I'm sure there's stuff
I missed, like I could. There's stuff I do not
remember from last time I watched this. And I mean
when Ben and I were married, Scandal was one of
our favorite shows to watch together, Like, we were very
dedicated to that show. And I'm like, what, I just
do not remember this happening. So one day I'll get
(33:52):
to rewatch Scandal again because I'll be like, no, I
missed this part completely. But I kind of like that
stuff goes in and out. That's not really what I
want to hold on to. I just want to be
either entertained or taken away. But again, with Scandal right now,
it's just a little too close to home and heavy.
They'll have like some shooting and then it's a conspiracy
and then you're like, who did it? And then you
realize it's on the inside. And I'm not saying that
(34:12):
I believe that's what's happening, but your brain is and
it's like divisive to people, and you're.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Just like, oh, well, there's shows that are designated to
make you think and make you relate to what's happening
in your life, and then there's shows that make you forget,
and there are shows that take you to a completely
different place.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Yeah right.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
They have all genres for that reason, and scandal just
happens to be one. Yes, a little bit more fictional too,
or non fictional.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
To real life yeah, too close to home.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah so okay, Well, anything else you want to add
before we jump out of here? No?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
Well, I mean, I don't know if we're going to
do in like the Q and A. But I know
I gave a life update in the beginning, but I
was curious if you had one.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
I feel like, I was like, talk talk, talk.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
About I love when you talk about it the track
and whatnot, but I was curious if you have a
life update or how your life is right now.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
It's good. It's a bit chaotic. I'm like deep and
still deep in my detax cleanse. I'm going on over
a month now, which has been a complete lifestyle change
and really hard. But I feel good. I feel really
healthy right now, and I feel like it's working, but
it's always stuff that takes time. So I'm trying to
have a lot of patience and grace for myself throughout
(35:24):
all of it. And it's also, i mean drastically changing
the fact that I've had to really pull back on
just socializing and stuff, because this is really hard to
like go out in the world and try and be healthy,
honestly trying to go to bars and have food and stuff.
There's no options. There's no way for me to do
what I'm trying to do and also be out in that.
(35:45):
So I've really had to just kind of pull back
on a lot of things that I used to do
a lot, which is good for the season of my life,
but it's been a change. It's been a lot to
adjust to. And my boyfriend's been so super supportive. He'll
do like the Extended Fast with me, and he'll will
cook dinners together and stuff and they're completely vegan and
(36:05):
gluten free and he's like, yeah, this is great, let's go.
Or he'll he'll like add his steak or whatever wherever
he wants to. But he's been super supportive, which has
also made that process a lot easier for sure. So
and then you know, the animals are finally at a
place where they're both manageable, but they're still managing. You know.
It's one of those things that that's never going to change.
Now we all have stuff that we have to manage.
(36:27):
So I feel like my life went from oh, this
is easy PC just you know, care free to holy crap,
life smacked me in the face and had a big
wake up call, feels like. But I feel really good,
especially with having the partner that I do now. He's
just he's so I don't know that anybody else I've
(36:48):
dated before would have ever been the same way in
this situation.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
It's like he came at the right time.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Exactly, and he's he's showed up in ways that I
never thought somebody would show.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Up for me, Like you have a teammate, yes, very much.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
So really just knows how to take care of me
and help me and still allow me to be the
independent person I am, while also helping me break down
those barriers of wanting to just do stuff myself. And
that's been a cool experience. But it's just like it
feels like my entire just like world's side down in
(37:20):
a great way, and also just a hard way, and
that's what life does to you, especially as pets and
people age and things change. But it's been that season
of life for me right now. So I feel like work.
I'm just kind of like, Okay, I gotta work, I
gotta get my stuff done, and then I got to
focus on me and my life right now and take
(37:41):
care of me and the animals and him. So it's
been a weird change for me lately. I don't know
if you've noticed that at all. I've just been a
little bit more like, Okay, I'm here, I'll do my
work and then I just kind of leave.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
And yeah, like you said, it's also been good for you.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
You meaner is still You're still the same kind, thoughtful,
hard working Morgan. Like some people might be dealing with
stuff you're dealing with. They might be a little more
frazzled or frantic or kind of in and out and
you kind of notice that, but you're, yes, you're kind
of in, you're out, and you're doing your thing, but
it's not dramatic.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Well that's good to know. I'm glad that that it's
going off that way. It's funny, my the integrative health practitioner,
I'm working with she was like, well, so we were like,
we're about a month into this. She's like, your body
is in some deep stress and we got to get
you out and it's gonna be hard because you're still
in stress. That's just how you operate. Your body now
(38:39):
operates that way, and we got to get it out
so you can like start safely handling stress again. And
that's probably been the most frustrating thing. Like, so she's
determined my stress because my body timp is low, I
don't regulate super well, and my heart rate stays pretty high,
and those two things are starting to finally level out
a little bit. But it's like like a constant state
(39:02):
of fight or flight is my body's been in for
years because it was a long COVID long COVID probably
that really hard relationship that I went through and I
mentally healed. I don't know that my body ever healed.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Like your nervous system, and it just like in.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
The stress of just working a lot. I work all
the time. I don't really remove myself.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
From social media anything ever.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, so I think all of it just combined and
she's like, but you're still in that state. You're still
operating in a stressful environment sometimes, so you have to
you have to detox it and then be able to
handle it again. And it's just a big learning curve.
So it's been a and I have to there's supplements
I'm on right now that are literally called calm because
(39:47):
which I need multiple times a day because my body
is not golm.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Well, you'll you'll learn a lot and be able to
help others that are going through it too. And tips
and yeah, it's not that they're tips and tricks are
like literally things that are helping you. But you know,
you can come alongside other people that are going through
it because sometimes I'm like, oh wait, I don't know
what I'm supposed to take for this, and maybe Morgan
will know.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely learning a lot of things and
figuring out what's beneficial and you know, and she's so
