Speaker 1 (00:01):
Best Bits of the Week with Morgan listener Q and A.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're Here is part three times Mike Dy's joining me, Hello,
Mike Hello, Like we didn't just have a full long
conversation number in part one.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
But got here, we are we are just here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We're gonna start with some shout outs. Mike Dy's laugh
in the background of the show is my absolute favorite.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
That's from Samantha.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, it takes a lot to get me to laugh
really good, but yeah, it gets in there sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well chuckle. You two are amazing, Jenna and Maryland. Mike
and his wife are the cutest. Love when you have
him on Best Bits. That's from Erica, Thank you. And
then we also have Mike Dy's killing it behind the
scenes of games and segment ideas Danielle from Indiana.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
He appreciate it, So you feel good. I do feel good.
It's hard for me to get a compliments, So thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's why we do shout outs. It's important.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Are you running any marathons anytime soon? Katie and Maryland?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I thought about running the one here in Nashville that's
coming up. I believe even April is.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That that's not the rock and roll one, is it?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah? It is, Yeah, that's that one. That's the only
one I've run here, mainly because I've just continued to
like run and not really train for anything specifically. And
the last time I did it was a couple of
years ago, and I told myself that was the last
time ever.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Why was it the last time ever?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Because I don't think I'm gonna get a better time
than I did that time. I ran it in three
hours and twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What do you run a marathon? I mean, you run
a marathon on a Saturday. Now what do you run
that in?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I can run twenty miles in under three hours, so
that's another six miles. I don't know that I could
do it. That would probably be like a three forty five,
closer to like three p fifty I think.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So you want to stay ending on your best one.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I kind of just want to end on the best
one because I'm not really running to prove anything at
this point. So it is hard for me to do
it race because I get competitive with myself, and that
is the problem I have. Like I can run it,
no problem. Like if I ran it, I could run
a marathon on my own on a Sunday, and I
(02:08):
would I'd be fine. It's whenever I get into race
mentality that I overwork myself. Like my problem is I
start out really strong because I'm like, I gotta crush it.
I gotta be all these people. I gotta get this
fast time. I would do so much better after running
two if I stayed with like the pacer where they
have the people running with like the sticks of the times,
(02:29):
Like if I just stayed with that group, I would
have a probably a much better experience because I wouldn't
exhaust myself as much because I get to a point
where I'm like, I have a great time, but around
like mile twenty two, my body just like shutting down
when things happen, like my legs stop working, and I
overworked myself. So I think there's this mental hurdle of
(02:50):
me not wanting to hit that again and knowing that
I can't keep myself from doing it because I know
how I am that it makes me not want to
run another one.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's fair, and it's also fair that you want to
end on a high note too.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I'd get it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I mean that's your like, that's kind of your trophy
if you will, so that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, I think. I think, if anything, I would like
to run a half with my dad because he continues
to run.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I remember you saying that in the last one you did.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You didn't now because it's always on a Sunday where
they do it in San Antonio, and it's always on
a Sunday, So it's hard to run in the morning
and get back in time.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, like you just ran a marathon. You have to
be on a flight that night.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, it's always hard. I wish they did it on
a Saturday. I would do that in a heartbeat, because
I think that would be a cool moment. It's really
like the whole reason I started running, because I would
see him running half marathons in his fifties and I'm like,
I need to be doing something.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Would he come here to do the one with you?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
That is a great question. My dad's never been here, really.
My parents have never been here. Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is it because they're not like fond of road tips
or flying?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
My parents have never flown. My dad is probably more
freaked out to fly than my mom. My mom would
do it. My sister has been trying to convince my
mom to fly to Mexico because whenever they go, they
take an eight hour bus ride into Mexico and then
another eight hours in Mexico. It's like sixteen hours because
they don't want to fly. So I feel like my
(04:17):
mom could be convinced that she came with my sister
because I have an older brother older sister who are
eight and seven years older than me, and they've both
been here. Yeah, they come all the time. They come
like maybe twice a year, but my parents haven't been here.
They would road trip because we used to road trip
from Texas to see my family in Memphis, but they
haven't done that in a long time. I was like,
(04:38):
you could come see your sister and then you could
come see me.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
See maybe you need to convince him to do it
for those rock.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And roll one but maybe I feel like you. I
feel like you could because he could come here. The
one here is always on a Saturday. You could knock
it out and they can stay for the weekend. Use
it for them to get home on a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
See, I Hey, just an idea, but that's crazy. I
can't believe your parents haven't been here yet.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, Like I think we were trying to go back
home sometime in the spring, and I was like, man,
I wish they could just come here because it would
be so much easier. I think it's always like whenever
you're the one who moves away, you're kind of more
expected to go back home. And I do get that
there's more of my family there than us, Like it's
easier for two single people, at least two single people.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You're a dual income household, but you are without children.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So whatever the dual is, EI are for two dinks
to go there, do is travel there than it is
for like my family of five to come here.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, I understand that, but it's also a cool place
to visit.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, I feel like that. I think my dad would
love it. Think just the food, like he loves anything,
Like he would love hot chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
He would be thriving. He gonna have hot chicken. You
gonna run a marathon. I'm I'm all on team than
visiting for the marathon.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I think the city would blow their minds a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I love that. I think we should make this happen
for you. I mean, obviously it's.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Up to them, we can't do anything, but you know,
I think it should happened. What are your favorite games
to write Kristen from Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
My favorite to write, I would say, before we could
not be able to play music clips, was always the
music games. Like I used to love the isolated vocal games.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh, those were always so fine.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I loved anything with any kind of music clip or
we would find like jazz versions of songs and you
had to guess them. Like those are my favorite because
I love just scouring the internet finding those clips and
finding those random things. But we can't do those anymore.
And it's been a struggle of trying to write games
when we can't use music things anymore because it's so
(06:42):
fun and I feel like listeners love those, yeah, but
we can't do them, Like we could play them on
the air, but we can't put them on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, and most people are listening at this point podcast version.
But I'm surprised too that we're still able to do
like movie clips and stuff. I'm surprised that also hasn't
been taken away. Yeah, but yeah, cross our fingers that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I would say, though, like as long as we've been
doing it, I still love writing Easy Trivia because we're
at a point that we have been doing it so
long that I like finding really obscure categories.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You find ones I'm like, I don't have anything in
this category.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think that's my favorite thing to do, because it's
like we've done planets, we've done all the things that
we've all kind of learned through easy trivia. It's finding
the more obscure things. And a lot of times I'll
just be sitting in a room here and I'll look
around at things. I'm like, what is around me? What
could I make a category out of?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Is that how you came up a Bible trivia for.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
One of them?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Bible?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What is around here? Okay, that could be a trivia category?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh man, yeah, you got us. I have spells where
I do really well and then who knows is a
crapshoot for me. What is your favorite and least favorite
part of being on The Bobby Bone Show, Lacey.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Least favorite part is probably the fact that it's made
me a morning person. I was never a morning person,
but now it's like built into my DNA that I
wake up early. Even on the weekends, I'm waking up early.
If I could sleep until seven thirty, that's a big
win for mem hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, and I used to be a night out.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I still am trying to be a morning person and
a night owl doesn't really work out very well.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, it's tough. Like I I used to love the
challenge of staying up for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Not anymore. Have you tried to pull an all nighter?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I've gotten close. I think the longest I've stayed up
in recent history was probably twenty one hours. Okay, but
I haven't done the twenty four hours in a while, Mike.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
When I pulled an all nighter, for like when the
CMA stuff happened, that not all nighter, I think we
did the best hit we did it around there. I
my body was not well, like I used to pull
all nighters all the time when I was in high school,
when I was in college, like no big deal, and
I just like bounced right back.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No my bout my body.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm pretty sure, like a week to bounce back from that,
like it destroyed me.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So it is.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It is so true that as you get older you
need more sleep. I'm pretty sure you like go from
needing a lot of sleep as a child.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
In the middle you're.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Fine with a couple hours, and then you get older
and you're like, I need like twelve hours now.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I did find that I could kind of run on
less sleep lately, Like whenever we were at the super
Bowl and that week was pretty chaotic, I was going
to steep later and still waking up early. I could
get by on like three hours. So when we got
back super late, I went to sleep at like midnight
and then woke up like three hours later, and I
was good, do you.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Think you're going on adrenaline? Though, because that week was
such a high.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It never caught up to me though, Like I was like, Okay, Monday,
I'm gonna be fine because I'm running off to the adrenaline.
By Tuesday, it's you got to hit me. Tuesday came
around and didn't hit me, and then the rest of
the week was fine. Like by Friday, I was like
the normal amount of tire that I usually am at
the end of the week, but I didn't feel that
overwhelming exhaustion like I even I got home that Monday
(09:57):
and I was like, I'm gonna probably go to sleep
for like two or three hours. I slept for like
thirty minutes. I was like that was it, and that
was good. I was recharged.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You've cracked the code. Maybe it's because you're healthy, you're
so healthy.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Another every other way, like it's helping your body when
you don't get a lot of sleep.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I feel like I've maybe like built up from having
better sleeping habits because I have been on sleeping medication
now for probably a couple of years. I feel like
that helps when I do sleep. I do get quality
sleep now, I think is an improvement. And then also like, yeah,
drink a lot of water.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You are you are the picture of health, well honestly white.
Where is the next vacation? Jenna and Mary Lynch need
some ideas.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
We've been talking about this right now because our five
year wedding anniversary is not this year but next year.
So we were initially thinking about going out of the
country this year, and we're like, I think we should
save that for our fifth anniversary, to make like a
big thing, spend more on it and not feel it's like,
(10:56):
I should we be spending this much on a vacation
because it feels more like a celebration. So I think
for that one, we're thinking about going to Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh, that will be so much fun. Do you know
which part of Hawaii?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Because I don't think Kelsey hasn't been. And I went once,
like a long time ago now, like back when Bobby
was doing American Idol, and I loved it. Like Hawaii
is awesome. Like I know, it's not leaving the country,
but it feels like leaving the country because it is
a whole different country.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It truly is.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It looks so much different and it's you're flying over
waters to get to it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's a different experience.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
It's just wild, like how much time you're flying over
water and then you just laying on this little piece
of land out there, and it's like just looking at
it on in a map, You're like, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It is, and then you also are there and it
also looks crazy that just the landscape of Hawaii is insane. Okay,
Hawaii's a good one and out of the country is cool.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I mean, we have depending on when.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It like falls or whatever, we do have five now
NonStop international flights from Nashville, London, Iceland, Dublin.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And I think Paris now might be one.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I can't remember all five of them, but one of
those I want to go to on a vacation. Now
that we have the NonStop flight, because I've done the
other flights.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And they are not fun. So I would love to
do one of those.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'd love to go to London or Dublin or Iceland
one of those three for like a full vacation. But
I also really want to go to Minnesota and Chicago.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Those are on my list.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I'm trying to finish my states, and currently I have
such random ones.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's hard.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like I have Indiana and Ohio and Iowa, and then
I have Minnesota and Illinois. Like it's these states that
are like right here, and you never really have a
reason to go.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You kind of have to force yourself to go.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So I'm trying to figure out what I can do
for whether just they're like quick weekend trips drive up
I know, well, I really want to go to I
think it's Cleveland that kind of sits on the little coastline,
but I think that's an eight hour drive, which I
have done.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I did do New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
In a weekend one time, and that was an eight
hour drive and I loved it. I just haven't had
that quite Uh, you know, life's been kind of kicking
me in the face lately.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I have the.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Ability to just take off and drive for a quick
weekend trip. And like I said, my body doesn't bounce
back quite as much as well anymore, so I need
to That might be one that I do is like
just go pop off to Cleveland to go to Kentucky
for a weekend. I'm trying to cross some of those
off this year, like random weekend trips. So I'm trying
to piece together road trips.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah. My other life goal is to run a half
marathon in every state.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Have you started that?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh yeah, I'm pretty far into that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Really.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, I've done problem.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh wait, you're saying, like, just you run oh yeah,
not like a race something, No, Like I did what
I was just in Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I was like, wait, so okay, I'm not I don't get.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
A medal at the end. I just I just have
a mental checklist of all the states.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I've run it I'm following.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I'm sorry, like official race that would take a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I know. I was like, dang, did you do this?
And I just like missed pieces of that. Okay, so
you've done a bunch of them because you've traveled.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, and it's how I travel. I'll try to get
one in if there's time.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Okay, how many do you have so far?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think I'm in the twenties because I've been doing
it now for the last I think I started once
we started traveling again after the pandemic. So every city
I've gone to, I've run a half marathon in Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, if you ever go and do one in Alaska,
make sure you do it like their summertime.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
At that one.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's your that's gonna be your fiftieth day. That'll be
like the Final Complexion again. We're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be back. Morgan from Mississippi. Not me different Morgan.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
She is one who would like us to debate the
new Captain American movie, since we kind of had some
conflicting opinions on this one.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, I thought it was pretty mid Like I didn't
even I was even thinking about it today, oddly because
I was like, it just wasn't memorable to me. And
I think when I go to a Marvel movie, I
always want like that big heroic cheer moment, and I
never got that, and Captain America as a whole hasn't
been my favorite character. So I think it depends on
(15:10):
the type of Marvel fan you are. You kind of
like follow the journey of your favorite character, and throughout
the course of all the Avengers movies, he just hasn't
been my storyline. That's been like my go to.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, and your your favorite Spider Man always been your favorite,
and you even have a tattoo of Spider Man. But
I think for me and I also looked at it,
it's differently, I think for both of us two because
you're a major comic book fan and you're gonna have
a different experience than I am, who's never read a
comic book in my life, and I just know them
as the movies. I don't have any like backstory. Mine's
(15:45):
just like the movie. That's all I got. So I
think that's also where our differen scene than some of
the Marvel stuff comes from.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Is you just have a different experience.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You're more like the lifelong fans that are tend to
be a little bit more critical of the stuff because
you have you have higher expectations of it. Then you
have me who's just like a fan of superheroes, you
know what I mean. I don't have as high a
standards for them, as long as it's good and I
enjoyed myself I'm happy, So I think that's kind of
where some of that comes from, would be my guess,
(16:14):
and I could totally be wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
But I also Captain America is.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
One of my favorite characters, and I think that's also
playing a role in it because I loved I mean,
I'll go back and watch the first of Indro a
lot and Captain America Winter Soldier is one of my favorite,
like standalone Marvel movies, So I've loved watching the evolution
of what they've been doing, and Anthony Mackie as a
person too, Like I followed him outside of that and
I love him as like a human being. I think
(16:41):
that also impacts my opinion. But I think why I
love the particular movie so much was because of the
suit got me. I was obsessed with that suit, like
him being able to fly and be Captain America. I
just thought was the coolest combination of things happening and
the action of like how they filmed that movie gave
(17:02):
me top Gun Maverick vibes in some of the ways
how he'd fly and they'd dive with him and all
of that that.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I loved.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That like really made me love the movie itself, and
I don't know if that's a spoiler, but I'm pretty
sure that's in some of the trailers I saw. But
I think that was like the big moments I was
disappointed in just the Red Hulk and how it just
kind of transpired. That wasn't a whole lot there than
what you kind of seen in the trailers. Yeah, so
(17:30):
that part was disappointing. But like the Captain America.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Storyline I liked. And I also like Isaiah the old, old,
old Captain America coming in there.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't know if he's the Captain America, if he's
just like an old superhero, he's the old Captain America, right,
My memories also foggy, But those were the pieces that
I really liked. And again to your point, he is
one of my favorite characters. So I've just liked watching
the evolution of him and seen what they do with it.
And I don't have high expectations of Hi. I'm like,
I'm happy like he's still around part of it now.
(18:00):
We got like a flying Captain America goal goal with me.
So any other thoughts for you?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I think when I look back at the other Captain
American movies, the action was always top tier, like out
of all the Marvel movies, it was like very fast
paced fight scenes, car chases, explosions. The sets were bigger
and bolder, and I thought this one didn't have that.
Like I thought even the fight sequences, I felt like
Anthony Mackie as Captain America fought slow and I was like,
(18:29):
this isn't the same like high paced, like hy adrenaline
fight scenes that I'm used to. And I don't know
if like the choreography was off or they like wanted
a different approach for him, And I get he's not
supposed to be Steve Rogers, but I just felt like
it lacked that grit that the other Captain American movies
have when it just came to being like these action
thrillers and like mysterious like where you have to kind
(18:52):
of figure out what's going on, I felt like all
the pieces were kind of just like laid out and
like nothing was exciting as it unfolded, I was like, Oh,
I kind of know everything that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I do feel like a little bit too, because I
have moments of where I feel jaded and watching a
lot because there's so much of the Marvel stuff. I
feel like when I watched, especially watching that first HM
those first four phases of Marvel up till Avengers in game,
there wasn't There was a lot for me to consume
in that moment because I was watching them all at
the same time. But I don't feel like there was
(19:24):
as much to consume, so it was more exciting, and
they had this second part of it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I don't feel like they've had as much of.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
A grasp on what their storyline is, and I think
that's made it hard because that was such the appeal
of Marvel was they made it all connect and that
was so cool to me because nobody had ever done that,
like in my experience as far as like multiple different
types of storylines. And that's what's missing from this whole
new phase for me, because they've had so many like
(19:53):
with everything that happened with Cain the Conqueror and now
he doesn't really exist because of what happened with the
real life and then I don't know where they're headed
in that direction or whatever. And they've created so much
content with all the TV shows and everything which listen
I've I've watched them all like I am that person
I watched them all, but I do feel like there's
(20:14):
a lot so it kind of makes everything just seem
subpar versus being like really exciting. This is the first
one to come out in four years, We're gonna watch it,
and then you don't get another one for a couple
of years, and you're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Excited again, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, I do think that the way of consuming has
also changed the way that we like them at the
same time, Do you feel that way at all? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I think it's hard to replicate what they did before,
and Marvel has always banked on like they're less popular characters.
Like whenever they launched the first Marvel movies, those weren't
their most popular characters. They were the only characters they
had the rights to. And now they're making movies with
kind of the remnants of that because we all love
those people who have all moved on now, So they
(20:56):
haven't done a great job of building up the new
people yet, Like who is to be the new Avengers
team when they have this new one coming out and
they have two coming out back to back, Like, what
team is that even going to look like? Is that
even going to feel like those movies before? So I
think it's them having to pull the pieces of like, Okay,
we want to keep these people that audiences kind of know,
(21:16):
like Anthony Mackie because he has connection to the old Avengers,
but we also are trying to introduce these new characters
that haven't really resonated or impacted as much. So it's
like they don't have the same pieces they were working with.
And then everybody keeps comparing everything to Endgame, which was
such a crazy accomplishment that can't be replicated anymore. It's
(21:36):
never going to be replicated again. So therefore, in comparison,
everything seems kind of mid because they're not going to
be able to live up to that ever again. And
that's probably why they brought back Robert Downey Junior, because
they need some bankability. Yeah, so I'm curious how that
plays out. We have Fantastic Four coming this summer, which
they might queue them up in that movie. I think
(21:57):
it's a little too soon.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And Thunderbolts, I think too where.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
The Yeah, I think Thunderbolts will be all right. I
just think we've kind of seen that iteration of a
superhero team again, and even like in the comics, it's like,
why are we doing the Thunderbolts? Yeah, And I feel
like seeing a movie like that, people are like, what
is this? Like, I don't it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Is, do you okay?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Controversial? And then we're moving, We're moving away from this.
Do you think they should have just stopped an endgame
called it?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Oh? No, I think they I don't think they should
have stopped that endgame. I think it was probably the
Disney Plus situation that created the fatigue, because there was
so many shows and they all connected back to the movies.
And I think that was my other kind of problem
with this Captain America is we had the Disney Plus
show where they did so much, but this movie I
(22:50):
felt like had to kind of restay a lot of
things that they are like, Okay, we can't bank on
the fact that everybody watched that, so let's make a
movie that appeals to everybody. And I was like, I
don't want to see this version of him. I want
to see him two steps ahead of this.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I think it was that that they tried to create
so much and build this entire world that it was
a little bit too much. But I don't think I mean,
superhero movies aren't going to go away. People keep saying that,
like the MCU is dead. I don't think that's going
to happen. I just think like what we've been saying,
like they're going to put out fewer movies, yeah, and hopefully.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Go back to their kind of original structure versus in
a dating us with so much content, which again I
can't hate because I watched them.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I was the consumer.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But I also wouldn't mind if it was just the
movies again, and it kind of goes back to a
streamline process and it is working. I mean, they keep
hitting number one of the box office, so it's not
like it's not getting people out to see them.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
And it's not like everything before this was all great,
Like there was bad movies in between there, like thor
The Dark World and Men in the Wasp, like there
were some bosmre. Yeah, there were some movies in there
that are like now we view as everything before end
Game like that was the golden age. Like, no, there
were some bad movies in there.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, moving on from our or Marvel debate, Thank you,
Mike think for indulging myself in the other Morgan from Mississippi,
Stacy from South Florida loves you. She's a runner whose
son is a movie lover, and she feels so connected
to you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
So I'm gonna kind of create a.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Question for her out of her shout out she wants
or I want to know what's your favorite running inspired movie.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
There aren't really a whole lot of running movies. I
cannot think of one I know there cause I think
I just don't love sports movies in general, which I
know people are like, you don't like sports.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Movies, that's wild, Mike, and you love sports.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, but I think when it comes to sports movies,
they're a little bit over glamorized in every situation, and
a lot of sports movie just have a lot of
inaccuracies of like, that's not exactly how it happened. I
think the sports genre in general, they take a lot
of liberties and making it feel more Hollywood esque, of like,
we got to create this big dramatic story, we got
(24:54):
to make this kid seem like he's come from nothing
or she comes from nothing, and then pay them up
in the biggest way possible, and when you look at
their real life, like that's not exactly how it happened.
They had help around them. This wasn't as dramatic. This
didn't happen. It's like the biggest scene out of that
movie didn't actually happen in real life.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Dang, Mike, this is a hot take.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yeah. I think it's more so sports movies based on
real life, and I think they're very formulaic, much like
how Christmas movies are very formulaic, and I think there's
a time and place for them. I just think sports
movies in general rank pretty low for me.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm gonna disagree with you again, but that's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I will say I did watch a really good running
movie and it probably did take some liberties.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You're not wrong, but it was so good. It was
with Mark Wahlberg and it was Arthur the King.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh yeah, did you watch that one with the Dog? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, I and it again, probably because I have I
just love animals so much. I sobbed. That's that movie.
I sobbed so many times and it was so good.
All loved it. Did you like that one or was
it too?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Problem with that one too? If you watch the trailer,
you watch the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, they mad that a lot with the trailers. I
check on away from watching trailers.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You watch a trailer and it's beginning middle and like,
I watched the whole movie before I even watched the
movie because I saw the trailer. And sports movies do
that in a lot, like, hey, we're gonna sell you
this movie. We just showed it to you all in
two and a half minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It is true.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I do. I do avoid watching trailers for the most
part if I can, because I just feel like you're
taking and they're doing it on purpose. They're taking the
best parts of the movie to get you to go
in and see it, but then.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
It spoils stuff for you in a way.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
The way that they've started to create trailers, I feel
like maybe that's me, maybe I'm reading too much into it,
but okay, And last one, any upcoming interviews for the
podcast you're excited about.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I am working on one right now. There's this guy
who wrote a Simpsons book and he's been working on
it since he was like ten years old. Wow, And
I am a huge Simpsons fan, and I want to
talk to somebody about like the influence that I had
from the Simpsons, just when it comes to movies, because
there are a lot of movies that did parodies of
(27:01):
or homages too, that I didn't even realize at the
time when I watched them as a kid, And that
was how I was exposed to a lot of movies,
like a lot of Alfred Hitchcock movies. They would do
in like their Halloween episodes and I was like, oh,
that's funny. The Simpsons did it, and I'm like, oh, no,
they're actually referencing a movie from like the forties and fifties.
So I think he would be the perfect person to
kind of take my love of The Simpsons and combine
(27:22):
it with the love of movies. And it's not like
it's a famous person, but for me, it's cool to
talk to people who have the same interest as me.
And I just think that would be like interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
No, that'd be a cool It'd be a cool moment
for you to be able to truly nerd out about
things that you really care about with somebody else who
sounds like they also nerd out over the same things.
There's something so fun about having a nerd out conversation. Yeah, truly,
And then you're like, I don't care if anybody else
does a life, it's like, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So I'm excited for you.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Okay, Well, go listen to Mike D's podcasts, movie Mike's
movie podcasts wherever you listen to podcasts, spoiler free movie reviews,
of coming conversations about nerd things. See, I love it.
We're two nerds over here. We both are, so we
just have different variations of it. And you're just gonna
I'm a Disney adult.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You are? Would you call yourself a Disney adult?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I would say too hard into the Disney. I love
Disney and Pixar movies, like I'll go watch a Pixar
movie by myself if I have to. But I feel
like I've never been to Disney. I don't know that
I would go as an adult unless we have kids.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I don't thank you would. Oh, Mike, what about Universal?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I would go to Universal. I feel like more of
my interests are probably there. Yeah, Disney's also expensive.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It is, but.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Honestly, my tea, I've had kind of the same thought.
I was like, I'm older, I shouldn't go. Then I went,
and I'm obsessed.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah, I'm not above it. It just doesn't scream to
me that I need to go.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
That's what I thought, too, And then I went and
I was like, my life has been changed forever. I
think it's because once you see a lot of just
real life things that you love, that you've watched for
years or you fell in love with on the screen,
and then you get to have like this real life experience.
So there's something about that nostalgia where you're just like, yeah,
this is pretty cool and it's just surround you and
you're just engulfed in it for days and nobody's taking
(29:11):
you out of it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
All Right, we're gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I've held Mike ty hostage LINEA follow him, listen to
his podcast at Mike de Stro. You can follow the
show at Bobby Bone Show. I'm at web Girl Morgan.

Best Bits of the Week with Morgan listener Q and A.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're Here is part three times Mike Dy's joining me, Hello,
Mike Hello, Like we didn't just have a full long
conversation number in part one.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
But got here, we are we are just here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We're gonna start with some shout outs. Mike Dy's laugh
in the background of the show is my absolute favorite.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
That's from Samantha.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, it takes a lot to get me to laugh
really good, but yeah, it gets in there sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well chuckle. You two are amazing, Jenna and Maryland. Mike
and his wife are the cutest. Love when you have
him on Best Bits. That's from Erica, Thank you. And
then we also have Mike Dy's killing it behind the
scenes of games and segment ideas Danielle from Indiana.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
He appreciate it, So you feel good. I do feel good.
It's hard for me to get a compliments, So thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's why we do shout outs. It's important.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Are you running any marathons anytime soon? Katie and Maryland?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I thought about running the one here in Nashville that's
coming up. I believe even April is.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
That that's not the rock and roll one, is it?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah? It is, Yeah, that's that one. That's the only
one I've run here, mainly because I've just continued to
like run and not really train for anything specifically. And
the last time I did it was a couple of
years ago, and I told myself that was the last
time ever.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Why was it the last time ever?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Because I don't think I'm gonna get a better time
than I did that time. I ran it in three
hours and twenty eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What do you run a marathon? I mean, you run
a marathon on a Saturday. Now what do you run
that in?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I can run twenty miles in under three hours, so
that's another six miles. I don't know that I could
do it. That would probably be like a three forty five,
closer to like three p fifty I think.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So you want to stay ending on your best one.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I kind of just want to end on the best
one because I'm not really running to prove anything at
this point. So it is hard for me to do
it race because I get competitive with myself, and that
is the problem I have. Like I can run it,
no problem. Like if I ran it, I could run
a marathon on my own on a Sunday, and I
(02:08):
would I'd be fine. It's whenever I get into race
mentality that I overwork myself. Like my problem is I
start out really strong because I'm like, I gotta crush it.
I gotta be all these people. I gotta get this
fast time. I would do so much better after running
two if I stayed with like the pacer where they
have the people running with like the sticks of the times,
(02:29):
Like if I just stayed with that group, I would
have a probably a much better experience because I wouldn't
exhaust myself as much because I get to a point
where I'm like, I have a great time, but around
like mile twenty two, my body just like shutting down
when things happen, like my legs stop working, and I
overworked myself. So I think there's this mental hurdle of
(02:50):
me not wanting to hit that again and knowing that
I can't keep myself from doing it because I know
how I am that it makes me not want to
run another one.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
That's fair, and it's also fair that you want to
end on a high note too.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I'd get it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
I mean that's your like, that's kind of your trophy
if you will, so that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah, I think. I think, if anything, I would like
to run a half with my dad because he continues
to run.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I remember you saying that in the last one you did.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You didn't now because it's always on a Sunday where
they do it in San Antonio, and it's always on
a Sunday, So it's hard to run in the morning
and get back in time.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, like you just ran a marathon. You have to
be on a flight that night.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, it's always hard. I wish they did it on
a Saturday. I would do that in a heartbeat, because
I think that would be a cool moment. It's really
like the whole reason I started running, because I would
see him running half marathons in his fifties and I'm like,
I need to be doing something.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Would he come here to do the one with you?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
That is a great question. My dad's never been here, really.
My parents have never been here. Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Is it because they're not like fond of road tips
or flying?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
My parents have never flown. My dad is probably more
freaked out to fly than my mom. My mom would
do it. My sister has been trying to convince my
mom to fly to Mexico because whenever they go, they
take an eight hour bus ride into Mexico and then
another eight hours in Mexico. It's like sixteen hours because
they don't want to fly. So I feel like my
(04:17):
mom could be convinced that she came with my sister
because I have an older brother older sister who are
eight and seven years older than me, and they've both
been here. Yeah, they come all the time. They come
like maybe twice a year, but my parents haven't been here.
They would road trip because we used to road trip
from Texas to see my family in Memphis, but they
haven't done that in a long time. I was like,
(04:38):
you could come see your sister and then you could
come see me.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
See maybe you need to convince him to do it
for those rock.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And roll one but maybe I feel like you. I
feel like you could because he could come here. The
one here is always on a Saturday. You could knock
it out and they can stay for the weekend. Use
it for them to get home on a Sunday.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
See, I Hey, just an idea, but that's crazy. I
can't believe your parents haven't been here yet.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, Like I think we were trying to go back
home sometime in the spring, and I was like, man,
I wish they could just come here because it would
be so much easier. I think it's always like whenever
you're the one who moves away, you're kind of more
expected to go back home. And I do get that
there's more of my family there than us, Like it's
easier for two single people, at least two single people.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You're a dual income household, but you are without children.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So whatever the dual is, EI are for two dinks
to go there, do is travel there than it is
for like my family of five to come here.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, I understand that, but it's also a cool place
to visit.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, I feel like that. I think my dad would
love it. Think just the food, like he loves anything,
Like he would love hot chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
He would be thriving. He gonna have hot chicken. You
gonna run a marathon. I'm I'm all on team than
visiting for the marathon.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I think the city would blow their minds a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I love that. I think we should make this happen
for you. I mean, obviously it's.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Up to them, we can't do anything, but you know,
I think it should happened. What are your favorite games
to write Kristen from Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
My favorite to write, I would say, before we could
not be able to play music clips, was always the
music games. Like I used to love the isolated vocal games.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh, those were always so fine.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I loved anything with any kind of music clip or
we would find like jazz versions of songs and you
had to guess them. Like those are my favorite because
I love just scouring the internet finding those clips and
finding those random things. But we can't do those anymore.
And it's been a struggle of trying to write games
when we can't use music things anymore because it's so
(06:42):
fun and I feel like listeners love those, yeah, but
we can't do them, Like we could play them on
the air, but we can't put them on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, and most people are listening at this point podcast version.
But I'm surprised too that we're still able to do
like movie clips and stuff. I'm surprised that also hasn't
been taken away. Yeah, but yeah, cross our fingers that
doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I would say, though, like as long as we've been
doing it, I still love writing Easy Trivia because we're
at a point that we have been doing it so
long that I like finding really obscure categories.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
You find ones I'm like, I don't have anything in
this category.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think that's my favorite thing to do, because it's
like we've done planets, we've done all the things that
we've all kind of learned through easy trivia. It's finding
the more obscure things. And a lot of times I'll
just be sitting in a room here and I'll look
around at things. I'm like, what is around me? What
could I make a category out of?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Is that how you came up a Bible trivia for.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
One of them?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Bible?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
What is around here? Okay, that could be a trivia category?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Oh man, yeah, you got us. I have spells where
I do really well and then who knows is a
crapshoot for me. What is your favorite and least favorite
part of being on The Bobby Bone Show, Lacey.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Least favorite part is probably the fact that it's made
me a morning person. I was never a morning person,
but now it's like built into my DNA that I
wake up early. Even on the weekends, I'm waking up early.
If I could sleep until seven thirty, that's a big
win for mem hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, and I used to be a night out.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I still am trying to be a morning person and
a night owl doesn't really work out very well.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, it's tough. Like I I used to love the
challenge of staying up for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Not anymore. Have you tried to pull an all nighter?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I've gotten close. I think the longest I've stayed up
in recent history was probably twenty one hours. Okay, but
I haven't done the twenty four hours in a while, Mike.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
When I pulled an all nighter, for like when the
CMA stuff happened, that not all nighter, I think we
did the best hit we did it around there. I
my body was not well, like I used to pull
all nighters all the time when I was in high school,
when I was in college, like no big deal, and
I just like bounced right back.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No my bout my body.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm pretty sure, like a week to bounce back from that,
like it destroyed me.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So it is.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It is so true that as you get older you
need more sleep. I'm pretty sure you like go from
needing a lot of sleep as a child.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
In the middle you're.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Fine with a couple hours, and then you get older
and you're like, I need like twelve hours now.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I did find that I could kind of run on
less sleep lately, Like whenever we were at the super
Bowl and that week was pretty chaotic, I was going
to steep later and still waking up early. I could
get by on like three hours. So when we got
back super late, I went to sleep at like midnight
and then woke up like three hours later, and I
was good, do you.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Think you're going on adrenaline? Though, because that week was
such a high.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It never caught up to me though, Like I was like, Okay, Monday,
I'm gonna be fine because I'm running off to the adrenaline.
By Tuesday, it's you got to hit me. Tuesday came
around and didn't hit me, and then the rest of
the week was fine. Like by Friday, I was like
the normal amount of tire that I usually am at
the end of the week, but I didn't feel that
overwhelming exhaustion like I even I got home that Monday
(09:57):
and I was like, I'm gonna probably go to sleep
for like two or three hours. I slept for like
thirty minutes. I was like that was it, and that
was good. I was recharged.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You've cracked the code. Maybe it's because you're healthy, you're
so healthy.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Another every other way, like it's helping your body when
you don't get a lot of sleep.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I feel like I've maybe like built up from having
better sleeping habits because I have been on sleeping medication
now for probably a couple of years. I feel like
that helps when I do sleep. I do get quality
sleep now, I think is an improvement. And then also like, yeah,
drink a lot of water.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You are you are the picture of health, well honestly white.
Where is the next vacation? Jenna and Mary Lynch need
some ideas.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
We've been talking about this right now because our five
year wedding anniversary is not this year but next year.
So we were initially thinking about going out of the
country this year, and we're like, I think we should
save that for our fifth anniversary, to make like a
big thing, spend more on it and not feel it's like,
(10:56):
I should we be spending this much on a vacation
because it feels more like a celebration. So I think
for that one, we're thinking about going to Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Oh, that will be so much fun. Do you know
which part of Hawaii?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Because I don't think Kelsey hasn't been. And I went once,
like a long time ago now, like back when Bobby
was doing American Idol, and I loved it. Like Hawaii
is awesome. Like I know, it's not leaving the country,
but it feels like leaving the country because it is
a whole different country.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It truly is.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It looks so much different and it's you're flying over
waters to get to it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's a different experience.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
It's just wild, like how much time you're flying over
water and then you just laying on this little piece
of land out there, and it's like just looking at
it on in a map, You're like, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It is, and then you also are there and it
also looks crazy that just the landscape of Hawaii is insane. Okay,
Hawaii's a good one and out of the country is cool.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I mean, we have depending on when.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
It like falls or whatever, we do have five now
NonStop international flights from Nashville, London, Iceland, Dublin.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And I think Paris now might be one.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I can't remember all five of them, but one of
those I want to go to on a vacation. Now
that we have the NonStop flight, because I've done the
other flights.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
And they are not fun. So I would love to
do one of those.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I'd love to go to London or Dublin or Iceland
one of those three for like a full vacation. But
I also really want to go to Minnesota and Chicago.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Those are on my list.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I'm trying to finish my states, and currently I have
such random ones.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
That's hard.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like I have Indiana and Ohio and Iowa, and then
I have Minnesota and Illinois. Like it's these states that
are like right here, and you never really have a
reason to go.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You kind of have to force yourself to go.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
So I'm trying to figure out what I can do
for whether just they're like quick weekend trips drive up
I know, well, I really want to go to I
think it's Cleveland that kind of sits on the little coastline,
but I think that's an eight hour drive, which I
have done.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
I did do New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
In a weekend one time, and that was an eight
hour drive and I loved it. I just haven't had
that quite Uh, you know, life's been kind of kicking
me in the face lately.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I have the.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Ability to just take off and drive for a quick
weekend trip. And like I said, my body doesn't bounce
back quite as much as well anymore, so I need
to That might be one that I do is like
just go pop off to Cleveland to go to Kentucky
for a weekend. I'm trying to cross some of those
off this year, like random weekend trips. So I'm trying
to piece together road trips.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Yeah. My other life goal is to run a half
marathon in every state.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Have you started that?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Oh yeah, I'm pretty far into that.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Really.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Yeah, I've done problem.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh wait, you're saying, like, just you run oh yeah,
not like a race something, No, Like I did what
I was just in Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
I was like, wait, so okay, I'm not I don't get.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
A medal at the end. I just I just have
a mental checklist of all the states.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I've run it I'm following.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I'm sorry, like official race that would take a long time.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I know. I was like, dang, did you do this?
And I just like missed pieces of that. Okay, so
you've done a bunch of them because you've traveled.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, and it's how I travel. I'll try to get
one in if there's time.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Okay, how many do you have so far?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think I'm in the twenties because I've been doing
it now for the last I think I started once
we started traveling again after the pandemic. So every city
I've gone to, I've run a half marathon in Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, if you ever go and do one in Alaska,
make sure you do it like their summertime.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
At that one.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's your that's gonna be your fiftieth day. That'll be
like the Final Complexion again. We're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be back. Morgan from Mississippi. Not me different Morgan.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
She is one who would like us to debate the
new Captain American movie, since we kind of had some
conflicting opinions on this one.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, I thought it was pretty mid Like I didn't
even I was even thinking about it today, oddly because
I was like, it just wasn't memorable to me. And
I think when I go to a Marvel movie, I
always want like that big heroic cheer moment, and I
never got that, and Captain America as a whole hasn't
been my favorite character. So I think it depends on
(15:10):
the type of Marvel fan you are. You kind of
like follow the journey of your favorite character, and throughout
the course of all the Avengers movies, he just hasn't
been my storyline. That's been like my go to.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, and your your favorite Spider Man always been your favorite,
and you even have a tattoo of Spider Man. But
I think for me and I also looked at it,
it's differently, I think for both of us two because
you're a major comic book fan and you're gonna have
a different experience than I am, who's never read a
comic book in my life, and I just know them
as the movies. I don't have any like backstory. Mine's
(15:45):
just like the movie. That's all I got. So I
think that's also where our differen scene than some of
the Marvel stuff comes from.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Is you just have a different experience.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You're more like the lifelong fans that are tend to
be a little bit more critical of the stuff because
you have you have higher expectations of it. Then you
have me who's just like a fan of superheroes, you
know what I mean. I don't have as high a
standards for them, as long as it's good and I
enjoyed myself I'm happy, So I think that's kind of
where some of that comes from, would be my guess,
(16:14):
and I could totally be wrong.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
But I also Captain America is.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
One of my favorite characters, and I think that's also
playing a role in it because I loved I mean,
I'll go back and watch the first of Indro a
lot and Captain America Winter Soldier is one of my favorite,
like standalone Marvel movies, So I've loved watching the evolution
of what they've been doing, and Anthony Mackie as a
person too, Like I followed him outside of that and
I love him as like a human being. I think
(16:41):
that also impacts my opinion. But I think why I
love the particular movie so much was because of the
suit got me. I was obsessed with that suit, like
him being able to fly and be Captain America. I
just thought was the coolest combination of things happening and
the action of like how they filmed that movie gave
(17:02):
me top Gun Maverick vibes in some of the ways
how he'd fly and they'd dive with him and all
of that that.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I loved.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
That like really made me love the movie itself, and
I don't know if that's a spoiler, but I'm pretty
sure that's in some of the trailers I saw. But
I think that was like the big moments I was
disappointed in just the Red Hulk and how it just
kind of transpired. That wasn't a whole lot there than
what you kind of seen in the trailers. Yeah, so
(17:30):
that part was disappointing. But like the Captain America.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Storyline I liked. And I also like Isaiah the old, old,
old Captain America coming in there.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I don't know if he's the Captain America, if he's
just like an old superhero, he's the old Captain America, right,
My memories also foggy, But those were the pieces that
I really liked. And again to your point, he is
one of my favorite characters. So I've just liked watching
the evolution of him and seen what they do with it.
And I don't have high expectations of Hi. I'm like,
I'm happy like he's still around part of it now.
(18:00):
We got like a flying Captain America goal goal with me.
So any other thoughts for you?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
I think when I look back at the other Captain
American movies, the action was always top tier, like out
of all the Marvel movies, it was like very fast
paced fight scenes, car chases, explosions. The sets were bigger
and bolder, and I thought this one didn't have that.
Like I thought even the fight sequences, I felt like
Anthony Mackie as Captain America fought slow and I was like,
(18:29):
this isn't the same like high paced, like hy adrenaline
fight scenes that I'm used to. And I don't know
if like the choreography was off or they like wanted
a different approach for him, And I get he's not
supposed to be Steve Rogers, but I just felt like
it lacked that grit that the other Captain American movies
have when it just came to being like these action
thrillers and like mysterious like where you have to kind
(18:52):
of figure out what's going on, I felt like all
the pieces were kind of just like laid out and
like nothing was exciting as it unfolded, I was like, Oh,
I kind of know everything that's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I do feel like a little bit too, because I
have moments of where I feel jaded and watching a
lot because there's so much of the Marvel stuff. I
feel like when I watched, especially watching that first HM
those first four phases of Marvel up till Avengers in game,
there wasn't There was a lot for me to consume
in that moment because I was watching them all at
the same time. But I don't feel like there was
(19:24):
as much to consume, so it was more exciting, and
they had this second part of it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I don't feel like they've had as much of.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
A grasp on what their storyline is, and I think
that's made it hard because that was such the appeal
of Marvel was they made it all connect and that
was so cool to me because nobody had ever done that,
like in my experience as far as like multiple different
types of storylines. And that's what's missing from this whole
new phase for me, because they've had so many like
(19:53):
with everything that happened with Cain the Conqueror and now
he doesn't really exist because of what happened with the
real life and then I don't know where they're headed
in that direction or whatever. And they've created so much
content with all the TV shows and everything which listen
I've I've watched them all like I am that person
I watched them all, but I do feel like there's
(20:14):
a lot so it kind of makes everything just seem
subpar versus being like really exciting. This is the first
one to come out in four years, We're gonna watch it,
and then you don't get another one for a couple
of years, and you're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Excited again, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, I do think that the way of consuming has
also changed the way that we like them at the
same time, Do you feel that way at all? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
I think it's hard to replicate what they did before,
and Marvel has always banked on like they're less popular characters.
Like whenever they launched the first Marvel movies, those weren't
their most popular characters. They were the only characters they
had the rights to. And now they're making movies with
kind of the remnants of that because we all love
those people who have all moved on now, So they
(20:56):
haven't done a great job of building up the new
people yet, Like who is to be the new Avengers
team when they have this new one coming out and
they have two coming out back to back, Like, what
team is that even going to look like? Is that
even going to feel like those movies before? So I
think it's them having to pull the pieces of like, Okay,
we want to keep these people that audiences kind of know,
(21:16):
like Anthony Mackie because he has connection to the old Avengers,
but we also are trying to introduce these new characters
that haven't really resonated or impacted as much. So it's
like they don't have the same pieces they were working with.
And then everybody keeps comparing everything to Endgame, which was
such a crazy accomplishment that can't be replicated anymore. It's
(21:36):
never going to be replicated again. So therefore, in comparison,
everything seems kind of mid because they're not going to
be able to live up to that ever again. And
that's probably why they brought back Robert Downey Junior, because
they need some bankability. Yeah, so I'm curious how that
plays out. We have Fantastic Four coming this summer, which
they might queue them up in that movie. I think
(21:57):
it's a little too soon.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
And Thunderbolts, I think too where.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
The Yeah, I think Thunderbolts will be all right. I
just think we've kind of seen that iteration of a
superhero team again, and even like in the comics, it's like,
why are we doing the Thunderbolts? Yeah, And I feel
like seeing a movie like that, people are like, what
is this? Like, I don't it.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Is, do you okay?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Controversial? And then we're moving, We're moving away from this.
Do you think they should have just stopped an endgame
called it?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Oh? No, I think they I don't think they should
have stopped that endgame. I think it was probably the
Disney Plus situation that created the fatigue, because there was
so many shows and they all connected back to the movies.
And I think that was my other kind of problem
with this Captain America is we had the Disney Plus
show where they did so much, but this movie I
(22:50):
felt like had to kind of restay a lot of
things that they are like, Okay, we can't bank on
the fact that everybody watched that, so let's make a
movie that appeals to everybody. And I was like, I
don't want to see this version of him. I want
to see him two steps ahead of this.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I think it was that that they tried to create
so much and build this entire world that it was
a little bit too much. But I don't think I mean,
superhero movies aren't going to go away. People keep saying that,
like the MCU is dead. I don't think that's going
to happen. I just think like what we've been saying,
like they're going to put out fewer movies, yeah, and hopefully.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Go back to their kind of original structure versus in
a dating us with so much content, which again I
can't hate because I watched them.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
I was the consumer.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
But I also wouldn't mind if it was just the
movies again, and it kind of goes back to a
streamline process and it is working. I mean, they keep
hitting number one of the box office, so it's not
like it's not getting people out to see them.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
And it's not like everything before this was all great,
Like there was bad movies in between there, like thor
The Dark World and Men in the Wasp, like there
were some bosmre. Yeah, there were some movies in there
that are like now we view as everything before end
Game like that was the golden age. Like, no, there
were some bad movies in there.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, that's true too.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Okay, moving on from our or Marvel debate, Thank you,
Mike think for indulging myself in the other Morgan from Mississippi,
Stacy from South Florida loves you. She's a runner whose
son is a movie lover, and she feels so connected
to you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
So I'm gonna kind of create a.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Question for her out of her shout out she wants
or I want to know what's your favorite running inspired movie.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
There aren't really a whole lot of running movies. I
cannot think of one I know there cause I think
I just don't love sports movies in general, which I
know people are like, you don't like sports.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Movies, that's wild, Mike, and you love sports.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Yeah, but I think when it comes to sports movies,
they're a little bit over glamorized in every situation, and
a lot of sports movie just have a lot of
inaccuracies of like, that's not exactly how it happened. I
think the sports genre in general, they take a lot
of liberties and making it feel more Hollywood esque, of like,
we got to create this big dramatic story, we got
(24:54):
to make this kid seem like he's come from nothing
or she comes from nothing, and then pay them up
in the biggest way possible, and when you look at
their real life, like that's not exactly how it happened.
They had help around them. This wasn't as dramatic. This
didn't happen. It's like the biggest scene out of that
movie didn't actually happen in real life.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Dang, Mike, this is a hot take.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yeah. I think it's more so sports movies based on
real life, and I think they're very formulaic, much like
how Christmas movies are very formulaic, and I think there's
a time and place for them. I just think sports
movies in general rank pretty low for me.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I'm gonna disagree with you again, but that's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
I will say I did watch a really good running
movie and it probably did take some liberties.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
You're not wrong, but it was so good. It was
with Mark Wahlberg and it was Arthur the King.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh yeah, did you watch that one with the Dog? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Yeah, I and it again, probably because I have I
just love animals so much. I sobbed. That's that movie.
I sobbed so many times and it was so good.
All loved it. Did you like that one or was
it too?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Problem with that one too? If you watch the trailer,
you watch the whole movie.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, they mad that a lot with the trailers. I
check on away from watching trailers.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
You watch a trailer and it's beginning middle and like,
I watched the whole movie before I even watched the
movie because I saw the trailer. And sports movies do
that in a lot, like, hey, we're gonna sell you
this movie. We just showed it to you all in
two and a half minutes.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It is true.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I do. I do avoid watching trailers for the most
part if I can, because I just feel like you're
taking and they're doing it on purpose. They're taking the
best parts of the movie to get you to go
in and see it, but then.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
It spoils stuff for you in a way.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
The way that they've started to create trailers, I feel
like maybe that's me, maybe I'm reading too much into it,
but okay, And last one, any upcoming interviews for the
podcast you're excited about.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I am working on one right now. There's this guy
who wrote a Simpsons book and he's been working on
it since he was like ten years old. Wow, And
I am a huge Simpsons fan, and I want to
talk to somebody about like the influence that I had
from the Simpsons, just when it comes to movies, because
there are a lot of movies that did parodies of
(27:01):
or homages too, that I didn't even realize at the
time when I watched them as a kid, And that
was how I was exposed to a lot of movies,
like a lot of Alfred Hitchcock movies. They would do
in like their Halloween episodes and I was like, oh,
that's funny. The Simpsons did it, and I'm like, oh, no,
they're actually referencing a movie from like the forties and fifties.
So I think he would be the perfect person to
kind of take my love of The Simpsons and combine
(27:22):
it with the love of movies. And it's not like
it's a famous person, but for me, it's cool to
talk to people who have the same interest as me.
And I just think that would be like interesting.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
No, that'd be a cool It'd be a cool moment
for you to be able to truly nerd out about
things that you really care about with somebody else who
sounds like they also nerd out over the same things.
There's something so fun about having a nerd out conversation. Yeah, truly,
And then you're like, I don't care if anybody else
does a life, it's like, this is amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So I'm excited for you.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Okay, Well, go listen to Mike D's podcasts, movie Mike's
movie podcasts wherever you listen to podcasts, spoiler free movie reviews,
of coming conversations about nerd things. See, I love it.
We're two nerds over here. We both are, so we
just have different variations of it. And you're just gonna
I'm a Disney adult.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You are? Would you call yourself a Disney adult?
Speaker 2 (28:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
I would say too hard into the Disney. I love
Disney and Pixar movies, like I'll go watch a Pixar
movie by myself if I have to. But I feel
like I've never been to Disney. I don't know that
I would go as an adult unless we have kids.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I don't thank you would. Oh, Mike, what about Universal?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I would go to Universal. I feel like more of
my interests are probably there. Yeah, Disney's also expensive.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
It is, but.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Honestly, my tea, I've had kind of the same thought.
I was like, I'm older, I shouldn't go. Then I went,
and I'm obsessed.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah, I'm not above it. It just doesn't scream to
me that I need to go.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
That's what I thought, too, And then I went and
I was like, my life has been changed forever. I
think it's because once you see a lot of just
real life things that you love, that you've watched for
years or you fell in love with on the screen,
and then you get to have like this real life experience.
So there's something about that nostalgia where you're just like, yeah,
this is pretty cool and it's just surround you and
you're just engulfed in it for days and nobody's taking
(29:11):
you out of it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
All Right, we're gonna get out of here.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
I've held Mike ty hostage LINEA follow him, listen to
his podcast at Mike de Stro. You can follow the
