Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the week with Morgan. Part one,
I hang a scene with a member of the show
What is up, everybody? Happy Easter weekend? I'm joined by
none other than producer Eddy.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What a great weekend? Yeah, weekend is awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know, I really miss being a kid and getting
to do Easter a hunts. It's my favorite time.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But you can still do that. Get your friends together
and go do you ooh? You know me and my wife,
that's what we do. We hide the eggs. Do you
want us to come over? Maybe in the middle of
the night, hide eggs outside so you and your friends
can wake up and look.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well, Eddie, that would make me so happy, But like
your dad, you have so much going on you don't
need to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But you know what I could do.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I could just come join your family's Easter and can
you hid like ten golden eggs for me? And they
have like little alcohol bottles in them?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh yeah, nice?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
What's your what's your like? What do you want? Like fireballs?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Tito's Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, that'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So I could do it with the kids, but their
specialty Morgan egge.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Then what happens though, is like one of the kids
will find the golden egg.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
This is where you are. Hey, golden eggs or Morgans.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, do not touch those.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It is a good weekend. But I too was doing that. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
We got a lot that happened on the show this week.
Lunchbox reviewed show members. We had Chris Tomlin and studio
Bobby admitted a purchase he made that he got roasted
by his wife for I talked about the man in uniform.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We had a child in.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Movies, draft, a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
This so much happened.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Lunchbox played board games for another chance to drive a Lambeou,
and we had employee of the quarter, so a lot there,
lots of stuff. It was a crazy week and we
got even more to talk about. Because you know what
I like to do is take my segments that didn't
make it to the show and they come here. It
is what I call rejected rejected segments.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, So like they make it, they just don't make
the big show.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, because we do put a lot of work in
thought into ideas that we submitted the show. Yeah, and
sometimes do you ever have like dry weeks where you're
just like I've gotten nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh Yeah, like when I don't do anything, I'm like, dang,
I need to like go out and start some trauma.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I know I've thought about, like I should steal something
just so I can have something to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's where That's where I got to pull up things
that have happened that maybe I didn't prep at the
time because I needed some space.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's when I start to.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Try and pull those Yeah, where I struggle sometimes is
like whenever, because like I'll see something funny, Like if
i'm met, like I don't know, somebody's house for a
get together and I see something funny, I'm like, oh,
I really want to talk about this, but I don't
want them.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
To hear it exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I give space, so I gotta be like, I'll talk
about it in two weeks. Yep, I'll not mention and
it was said at someone's house. I'll change the story
around a little bit so they don't think it's them.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, this is some inside baseball for y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
But like, especially with my dating life too, like I
put some time in between those things that happen.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You need to, Yeah, because I don't. I do. Most
of the people that I date listen to the show know,
but I just need to.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Protect them, even if I'm talking about a funny whatever
it may be, I just am going to protect them regardless.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And sometimes you change the gender of the person or
kind of I haven't done on dating. No, no, not dating,
but like if I'm talking about like another parent, like oh,
I'll be the mom that did it, and I say
it's the dad.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta change some details because
you do got to protect your personal life, right.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And then sometimes my wife is like, hey, that lady
ignored me, Like did you talk about them on the radio,
Like no, I swear I did it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I promise not that weird.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, it's like what did you say?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well, speaking of these rejective rejective segments, is there anything
for you?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
How are things in your life? There anything you've shared
that you didn't get to talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
On the show man, I think no, Like my life
right now is all basketball, and it's hard because like
when there's something so much of one thing happening in
my life, that's all I could talk about. Like you said,
like I got a diversify, Like what I'm doing, I
got to go like steal something. I gotta go let
my house on fire, so I can say that I
call the fire department.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You can't really really, you know, I wasn't just like
let me go order some weird food. You're like, let
me burn a house out and steal something.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Lim How can I create the smoke in my house
or the fire alarm goes off and I have to
call the fire department. But no, I mean, you know,
like right now, it's just all basketball, basketball, basketball basketball.
I did prep that I sent in like a note
that said, hey, like, have you ever had a sound
stuck in your head? Because in the last two weeks,
in my head it's been all basketball noises and like
(04:04):
the dribbling, the dribbling, the pounding of the ball on
the court, and shoe squeaks.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Those shoe squeaks Mandos.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I woke up in the middle of the night Morgan
with that sound because and I thought, I was like,
what did I just hear somebody like walking downstairs? And no,
it was just shoe squeaks that are still in my
head because picture this. In these basketball tournaments that my
kids are playing now, the first games could be as
early as eight am on Saturday morning, and you show
up and it's a big facility with six to eight
(04:34):
basketball courts and they're just separated by mesh walls.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh yeah, I remember that all too well.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And I don't know if you have sensory overload, but
I have sensory overload, Like I'm hyper sensitive to a
lots of sound, Like if my kids are all yelling
at the same time, I have to be like everyone
to stop, like, just stop talking, it's too much for me.
Or I have to get out of the room. And
so imagine that for I don't know, ten hours a day,
(05:00):
two days on the.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Weekend, and you can't tell them to get out of
the room.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No, no, and it's just too much. And so by
the time Monday comes around, I am like exhausted because
my brain has just been overly stimulated. And that's just
been my life.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You're having basketball phantom sounds.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, to where I wake up in the middle
of the nine I'm like, what was that somebody whos
dribble in basketball downstairs? Like what does that sound? It's
just in my head.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Now, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I've never had that basketball, it really is. It's too much.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Do you feel like that's their best sport? Like by far,
so we've started.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
What we did with them is like, all right, play everything.
You want to play soccer, play soccer, you want to
play baseball, plays baseball, I mean sports. Youth sports is
geniusly organized to where when one ends, the other one begins,
and one ends and one begins, and they can literally
play every sport in the world because that's how the
youth sports people have designed it to A kid can
(05:52):
play sports all year round, and so when you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Think it's until like freshman year or like maybe eighth
grade where that kind of stops middle school kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, with us, it's just like when the little when
our little boy, the little baby, he when he got
old enough to play sports, were like, it is too much,
Like we can't be at three places at one time.
So we told the older boys, like you got to
kill one sport, got it, And they all killed baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Okay, so none of them will be pro baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
None of them want to play baseball, and I think
mostly because they're bored.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You know, it's like innings and time and like I
got to sit here and and kid pitch, Like kids
just don't hit the ball very well.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
That's why I don't know if I don't know if
you have any photos of them, But like when I
was a kid and I played softball growing up, I
pretty much played softball until high school, and there were
so many photos of me playing with the dirt in
the outfold.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm just chilling their life and probably your mom and
dad yelling Morgan, yeah, stop playing with.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It dirt, but you're so bored. It's not It doesn't
get exciting until you start to get a little bit
older and know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Right, So there, So the older ones are done. So
now they play football and they play basketball. I kind
of just got rid of every other sport.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Dang which school. Those are two solid ones. You got
to fall in a spring sport.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah yeah, basically, but they do love basketball the most
and then football. I think that I'll just kind of
play out. We'll see they love football, but I mean
when the hits get harder, they might kind of opt out.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, and I feel like football really becomes the kind
of thing because for whatever reason, football players are just
like great in high school, you know, larity, Yeah, Friday
night lights, there's all the feelings around it, like basketball,
what happens, but not to that extent.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Not really. No, it's football. If your football player in
high school, like you're cool.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, And I didn't know if that shifted. Maybe that's
just like when we were in oh still the same. Okay,
So maybe as they get older than football, yeah, maybe
we'll see get the girls.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, but that's that's been what's going on in my life?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You Oh, well, that's a fun one. I don't have much.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I wanted to know what was going on yards because
all the rest of this stuff that I'm making you
talk about are things that came randomly from mine.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Rejected segment, rejected, rejected, rejected, reject because it didn't make rejecteds. Yeah,
you get it up. Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I had this thought, I want to know, Oh what
like job do you wish you understood more? And the
reason I asked this is because I was seeing like
the package deliveries happen like ups Drivers and Amazon, and
I'm so curious. I know they have routes they have
to go on, but how do they know, like house
to house, what's the best route?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Like how does that work? Did they have an app?
And it's like you're gonna go in disorder and do
these houses first?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Good question?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You know, like I've never seen with their phones up
and they have GPS going they just know.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Where they're going. Yeah, and all, like very rarely does
a package end up.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
In the wrong place, that's really good.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And if it ends up in the wrong places in
the same area, sure, because they managed to get to
that area.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But I'm just so curious how they work.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I would imagine that there is got to be an
app that says, this is your route. You're gonna go
down right, perfect, and then you're gonna go left, and
the you're gonna go right, and this is the house,
and I think it marks the houses that they're at.
My brother was a driver, one of my really good
friends was a driver, and they figured it out.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Wait, so did they ever tell you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Like they never asked them. I'm fat I can ask
my brother.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Please do because, like I genuinely want to know how
it works, because I right now, yeah, this is this
is how somebody is somebody who's so directionally challenged. I
could never fathom.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Let me see if he'll answer. He's probably at work.
Hold on, is he.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Driving right now?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, No, he doesn't worry. He doesn't do that. He
used to work for FedEx, so let me.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, I want to know because I know even the
male people they never have them either, and maybe male
people more often have a route, but I don't know
about like Amazon, It's not always going to be the
same route every day.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm just so curious.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Let the answers. Yeah, Hey, bro, I'm doing a podcast
right now, and let me put you on speaker. I'm
going to put you on speaker as I'm recording. I'm
here with Morgan say hi, Hi, Okay, Well, hey, so
she has a question. She was like a job that
I've always been She's always been interested in knowing. Is
like delivery drivers, like FedEx drivers, how do they figure
(09:56):
out their routes? Is it an app that you guys
have that like it just automatically tells you where to go?
Or do you as the driver have to figure that out? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Well back when I did it, yeah, we had to
figure our own routes out. It had this technique that
involved like a circle and you had to get your
parcel addresses together and kind of create a circular route,
right like from start point to endpoint in like a circle.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
That sounds so complicated? You're telling me there's no app
for this now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I mean I don't know about it now.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I hadn't worked at FedEx in a long time. But
back then, yeah, that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We had to just look.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
At the addresses and and just kind of formulate our
own route the shape of a circle.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Did you ever like finish your route and be like,
oh crap, I forgot a whole area? No, thankfully?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No. Ok, So are you really good with directions and stuff?
Because I'm very directly challenged. Were you just really good
at knowing where all these roads in different streets are?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, I mean I guess. I mean, I mean I
was working the area that I grew up in, so
that helped. So yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, yeah,
I guess I was familiar with the area.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hey, what about what about your your time frame? Like
did you have a deadline? It all had to be
delivered by five o'clock? And like would people stop and
talk to you and be like hey man, what's up?
And You're like I gotta go. Yeah do that?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Like the time constraints are pretty tight. You have to
make your your goals and yeah, you've got a time
frame every day, So yeah, sometimes you would you know,
some people would talk to you you kind of have
to just cut the conversation short and move.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's wild. Well, thank you for the inside MBO.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Like I saw these drivers like I need to know
how this works.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And I told Morgan, I'm like, hey, you know what,
my brother was a driver. Let me see.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I can't imagine drivers in big cities.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Now, that's gotta be tough. Yeah, dude, I bet you. Now,
they gotta have apps where like it's like, all right,
this is your route, like just follow this line and
that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah, they probably use the GPS apps, like you know,
the iPhone apps and such. Yeah, right, I'd imagine. I mean,
you know, like where we drew up, it wasn't that
much of a cluster. You know, it's pretty wide open, right,
but like, can you imagine like drivers in the bigger cities, Man,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That's tough.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Well, yeah, I'm like having to individually if you have
to like individually plug in a GPS. Thing about like
I put like four points on a GPS, right, you
have five hundred addresses that you have to put in
your No, I would I would.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Die, hey and and back when you were doing it
you didn't have like the phone, like you had to
take a picture or whatever like of the package if they.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Weren't now we didn't have today's cell technology.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
No, no way, So sometimes you would just drop the
package in the wrong like house and oh well no.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I mean the more that you would do your route,
the more familiar you'd become with like you know the
houses and their house numbers and all that. So yeah,
you know, I mean it took it takes a little practice,
you know, to really get to know your route. But
that's why most of these drivers they're assigned a route
right because they know the area like the back of
the hand, and you know, they know where the houses
are and such, which is the right.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
House and not so fascinating. Thank you, no, thank you
for the info. I was just I really had questions.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Thanks bro, the memories man, those times, Yeah, she just
asked it. I'm like, you know what, I know someone
that would definitely answer these And dude, I'm sorry man,
I did say, like you weren't that smart because she was.
I was like, there's no way that they had to
like figure out these routes because like you, Steve, I'm like, man,
you guys are drivers. They were like the smartest dudes.
There's no way that you guys.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He did totally insult you before calling.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Hey, my bad Dade, my bad man testament. That taught
right right. Okay, dude, thanks, I'll talk to you later. All.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh that's funny.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Like listen, I just love looking at just jobs that
you see day in and day out and you never
know the info outs of them.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And that's one of them.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I saw so many of them and they are just
so good at what they do and I could.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Never Yeah, I've thought about like groceries stores, like how
do they keep everything fresh right? You know, like is
there a deadline on the stuff? Like and like who
orders everything? Like, hey, we need more restauranties, like we
need four more. I just noticed it.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Does it come overnight? Is it really quick or do
they have to wait several pase?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And like meat that would stress me out, Like I
can't buy that much pork chop because like I only
sold two pork chops and I had to throw away
like ten pork chops.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, it's like the ins and outs of just everyday
life that I've never you see.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And everything functions as it should right, and it just one.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Day, I was just really thinking about a whole lot
of jobs, and that was.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
One of them.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What's funny is when people are like I'm gonna start
a business, like, oh, that's a great idea, and then
they like start like looking into like.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh, crowd, what are you speaking for yourself? For your chicken?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But I've done this yeah yeah. I mean just even
when I looked in the chicken business, it's just like,
holy crap, I gotta look at storage. I gotta have
refrigerators for the chicken. I got to ship the chicken.
I've got to work with like a like how do
you what kind of relationship do you have with a shipper?
Who's your shipper?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
In all the regulations that are on regulations like where
do you get that? And where do you store that?
And like who's going to do that? It's all lot.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So when you hear of operations like you're right, like delivery, Amazon,
FedEx ups all this stuff, like it's an operation where
I'm sure that when they first started they're like, oh crap,
we got to figure this out. That's not going to work,
and to now they're like we got it.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, isn't that crazy? Just how far we've come.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
That's such a cool thought.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, and I wanted to talk about it that way.
You just made it that much cooler.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
On your back, I know exactly who can answer this.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So we just talked about like cool things and how
far we've come, which is really ironic because what I
actually had, not even intending for that to be where
that went. But you know, I think a lot about
living in the future and just where we're at in
twenty twenty four, and we have so many advancements, but
there is one thing, like I don't appreciate living in
this moment and maybe this will spark something and you
to be like, yeah, this is mine.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay for me.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's allergies. I have allergies, but dog has allergies. I
have how has allies?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like everybody you knows.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I have allergies, and I don't feel like in the
nineties and even in the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I had allergies.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Well that's probably because where you lived, I.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Mean maybe, But like now I go back to Kansas still,
it's still a little rough there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Now Kansas too.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It never used to be you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And maybe it's because I've developed in Tennessee and I
bring whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, I've had allergies in my whole life. Really, I
used to even like when I was like in fifth grade,
fourth grade, I had to go do allergy shots.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Do you feel like it's the South?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I don't know, because you have you ever done the
allergy test that Bobby talks about where they scratch U.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Oh like no, that looks that looks awful.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
No, it's terrible. It's the worst. And I'll never forget.
I mean, it happened when I was in third grade,
and I'll never forget it. Like they scratch your body,
like your arm. I think it was my arm and
they would just do like here's pine, here's oak, here's grass,
here is dust, here's so whatever. And I would have
fifty scratches on my arms and then they would come
back in like twenty minutes and see how each one reacted,
(16:58):
and my whole arm would be freaking like blown up.
That painful and you can't scratch it.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh hey, no, I don't have self control.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Like that it is and I'm like, it are it's
so bad and you can't scratch it, but that tells
you what you're allergic to, and my whole arm was
like well everything. So in South Texas, I was alerted
to mesquite, I was allergic to whatever grass. And then
when I came to in Austin, I was allergic to
cedar cedar, cedar cedar. In Austin, they're a cedar everywhere.
(17:26):
When I moved to Nashville, it's like there's a whole
different pollen that I never had that I'm allergic to.
So it never ended with me.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, and maybe that's the case.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Maybe I'm a little bit uninformed in it because we're
growing up in Kansas for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Maybe it's because it was so windy. I don't know.
Somebody with much smarter education on this would probably be
able to tell us.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
But I just feel like people like you meet everybody
and they probably have at least one allergy to something,
like you know, I'm allergic to gluten.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Or I'm sensitive to all these things.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
And whether it's way stuff has changed over the years
or whatever, sure, it is the one thing that I
think about where I'm like, dang, I really liked being
very unaware as a kid, and I didn't did not
care about anything, and I was not allergic to anything. Well.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And what's funny too, is like just being sick, right,
Like when we were younger and we got sick, it's like, oh,
you just have a cold. Yeah, Like, oh, you just
have a cough, Like it's fine. But now we're older
and we're like, mean, I got I got a cough,
and like I can't go to work with this cough,
and so I have to go to the doctor and
they're like, oh, you have this, and you have that,
and then you take antibiotics and then you take too
(18:34):
many antiboxes and you're like, well, I can't take that
many antibotics. But as a kid, you're just like whatever,
you know, like you have a deal. So it's just
a whole different thing when you're older that you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Have to like and maybe that's it. You get older and.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You care more about your body.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, and you're more aware of what's going on with
this stuff. It could be all of that. But just
for like Remy's literally allergic to grass. This dog is
allergic to ever. She's a dog, like she has to
go to the back.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
To poop, that's her toilet. It's like if you're alerged
to a toilet and Hazel.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Was losing hair because she was allergic to what.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, these poor animals are, like what am I going through?
And like Remy never had that when we were in Kansas,
So it very much could be a regional thing.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And then I wonder too, like dogs right, like they're
like if they were not domesticated, would they be like,
oh man, where's the grass? I can't poopyre like, oh no,
this is.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
What's funny about her. She intentionally rolls in the grass.
It's like she knows she's not supposed to. I'm like,
you're gonna be itchy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
What's funny? Dogs like? Yeah, I think dogs don't care.
They're just like whatever. It's like me and lactose intolerant. Yeah,
you're like just take the hand, just like whatever. Man,
you know what, I can't I can't eat ice cream.
I'm gonna pay for it, but just do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, So that's mine.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That was something where I'm like, you know what, maybe
I don't like this advancement of where we're going.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, it did it spark anything for you?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I mean no, I mean I was with you on
on just kind of like being sick and allergies. For sure,
you're gonna hate me on this, but I just feel
like social media, yeah it's fair.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm not going to hate you as it's fair, but.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That's like you, that's like your life, that's what you do.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It is, but like it's you know, it's also if
it goes away and more figure or something else.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I hear people talk about it all the time. We're
just like, man, like it's so bad and people need
to just stop with social media. So there's online bullying,
there is the syndrome where or what's it called where you.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Just imposter syndrome everything posture, and.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Then there's like the whole you don't think your life
is good enough because of everyone else that you see.
You're always comparing yourself to other people all that, and like,
I really I'm not phased by any of it because
I don't spend that much time on it. You always
make fun of me because I don't post a lot,
like I just don't.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, I don't make funny you. I just encourage you too,
because like you, I need to.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I know I really should. I really should. But to me,
it's kind of like I'll take a picture of like, oh,
that's funny. I'll post that, and then I'm working on
the caption and just like, man, I've spent ten minutes
on this caption and I really got to go, like
I've got to do something and.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I don't have time for this.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And now, oh, when I didn't tag Bobby on this
and I didn't tag Morgan on this, I'm just like, I
gotta go. I can tag that. And by that time,
I'm just like this is stupid, Like this is way
too much time, and I feel as I get older,
it's just like I hate where social media is going
because everyone does it and everyone like my wife not
to throw under the bus, but like at the end
(21:17):
of the day, it's our time to hang out. All
the kids are in bed, and she just wants to scroll,
and she's like, let me scroll.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's so true though, because she didn't get to do
it all day.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
She's like, I didn't get to stroll scroll a day.
I'm like, well, I didn't scroll either, but I want
to hang out with you. And she's just like I
enjoy like just scrolling, yeah, mindless scrolling, mindless scrolling. And
I'm just like, man, I hate this because I think
we all do love to scroll. We all do love
to see what our friends and families are doing. We
all love that part. But I think in the at
(21:46):
the same time, it does take a lot of time
away from our lives.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So it's a tricky one.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
No, but you're not wrong, and I respect it and
I understand it.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, Like I do love it, but I also do
feel like I've learned a balance to be like, Okay,
you live your life a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
You can come back because at some point, at one
point in your life, you were like always on it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
And I still am because I have to be, you
know that as part of my job. But I have
gotten really good at I'll capture content and I'll post
it later. I'm not worried about posting it in that
moment anymore or whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I'm like, if I post this two weeks from now.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Whatever, Okay, I do that too, but how do you
remember it.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I have like an ongoing list in my notes of
like things I've put together to be like, oh, I
need something to post it.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Okay, I'll do that one because I'll go back and
look at pictures like from a month ago and be like, oh,
I meant to post that one I never do.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's why you put a little dumps.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You do the whole when you're like October.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, you littled up and be like here's my whole month.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Okay, you get it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
You'll get there.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I'll get there. No, I probably won't.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Okay, I do want to tell you something. I feel like,
you know how we are speaking of phones that they're
always listening.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yes, why don't feel like we got a big brother
situation happening? Oh no, let me talk you what happened
and you you helped me draw a conclusion.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So the other day we were in studio with Amy
and I asked her because I'm wanting to paint a
room in my house. I'm like, you got any painters
because I really need someone to compete this room.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Think I'll send you one. And I'm like, okay, no
big deal. I get home that afternoon, there's painting. There's
a little like painting brochure on my door. Never had
one in my whole life of living there at the house.
Like good, good, that's a little weird, No big deal.
Next morning I come to work, I'm leaving work and
(23:30):
in my car door is a business card for another painter.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, it's not the same painter.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
All of these are different. All of them are different.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
See, that's weird because like I get it online. There's yes,
you know, if I'm on your phone, it's listening. It
sends it to all one of the cookies or whatever
and sends to all these marketers and like they get
it to a painting place and whatever. I understand that in.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Person though, That's what I'm saying. And all in the
same twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Whoa coincidence or not?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I don't feel like it feel like somebody's either followed me.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
And here's what's weird about a painting company.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, and never in my life, I've never brought this up.
I've never had brochures on my door on my car.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Never is did you talk about it on this podcast?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
No? The only time I mentioned it was literally it
in between a break to Amy, like, hey, can you
air nothing on air?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
So who would be the big brother who would have
leaked that information? Or is it like microphones in the studio?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, it could be the cameras in the studio and
the cameras in the studio. Person, I get it. If
you did it on my phone, could it be lunch box.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh crazy, could it be here? Hear me out? Hear
me out? Could it be that lunchbox overheard you guys,
because sometimes the microphones are on and he hangs out
in the little green room with scuba and and like
he heard, and his cousin, a relative, a family member.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Does he have three different persons in the paint three.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Different people that that owns a painting company, and maybe
they help each other out. It's a little painting community,
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I did never figure out who did the penis thing
to me?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Excuse me, the penis candies that were left in my
coat jacket and this penis sucker that was left in
my hold on.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Hold on, don't don't ever call me that again.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
He was.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I brought it up on the show, so you did.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I don't remember that. Oh my gosh, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I was like, somebody left this stuff, and I'm no idier.
Who did it?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Ever call it a penis sucker. It's not that's what
it is. It's not. It's a penis lollipop. Okay, same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm like, what did I say differently?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's the same thing, And I still weird mass somebody
just like following me in that's weird.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
But I got I got the painting one too in
my car.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
He did.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, I think we all did. Somebody came to our
garage and.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Like in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's very that's very strange. Can I ask for a
follow up on another note? That is very weird?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm not discussing that. It's very weird.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's why I don't. I don't have a conclusion.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, we don't have conclusions. I think it's lunchbox of cousins.
But uh, is there an update on your uh your
little ghost and your camera?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh, I think he left me a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
He did. Yeah, he hasn't been back and he lingered
for like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
This was the ghost on your It was.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Like a little little what you guys called dust or
rain bubble, but he was it was water whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It was dripping two weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Doesn't it dries water?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
But the dew happens every morning. I don't know. If
you wake up, you wake up early.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But it was in the same spot.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It was, no, I know, it moves around different spots.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Whatever it was or or it was an orb and
it was floating around he left you. I would like
to say that I also had a blue jay and
a cardinal lingering around the same spot.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So what does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I mean, they say that blue jays and cardinals are
like reincarnated.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Right, that's right. I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So like between those and the orbs, something was happening to.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
They don't lose it and you're already losing Like it
was an orb.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
And it kept showing up, but no, he left me.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
How beautiful are blue jays.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Though they're really mean?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
They are?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, they're notorious I think for being mean. I don't
want I'm gonna google that to make sure.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, before where they can get canceled by the bluebird community,
Like I don't say stuff like that. You don't know that.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I think my dad told me that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, blue jays can be very aggressive to other birds
sometimes rat nests and have been found to have decapitated
other birds.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What the they're like like serial killers?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, like I think they're they're wow kind of mean,
not all the time.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's crazy because they're so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, and it.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Says they appear like it says while they appear to
be bullies who push others away and greedily grab all
the food they can.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Blue jays are cool towards their.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Own kind of course they're racist, so they're racist serial killers.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I knew there was something with them, but I do
think they're cool birds. So other than that, that's just
you know, they make a little bad rap.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yep. Yeah, yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
For putting that. Between that and the fact that there's
a lot of bird things that have happened on our show.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So I'll just stop talking, Okay, Okay, is that all
you want on the update?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You want to?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Okay, all right, we're gonna take one more quick breaks, right, bad?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
All right, let's talk about our lives not currently Yeah.
Well yeah, we're just you know, we're staying on that topic. Okay,
these are all similar but different. Okay, So what is
one decision of your life? We often always talk about
regrets and the things that we wish we didn't do
or whatever, But that's not what I'm asking Okay, I know,
I'm asking you, what is one decision of your life
that you would never take back, Like you're so glad
(28:22):
it happened, good or bad.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
You're so glad it happened.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Ooh gosh, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I know, this is tough.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
This is like the one where you're like if they
took everything else back.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
There's the one because I don't really think about like
what could have been a lot, Like I don't ever
think of like, oh man, what if like I married
this person instead of my wife, Like what if, you know,
then I would have completely different kids? Like I never
do that.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
That's a good thing because what can be very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yes, so I never do that. What if I didn't
take that job? What if I did? Oh man, I
would have been a millionaire. Like I don't do that crap,
But I mean I do love and it's hard. Adoption
is so hard, and the fact that we adopt there
are two kids is like amazing, and I'm so glad
we did it. But it's sometimes when we're in it,
(29:10):
like when we're in the weeds, Like sometimes when I'm
really like upset and overwhelmed, I feel like I'm always
just like, oh my gosh, why did we do this?
Like why do I have like four kids right now?
Like my life is freaking chaos and money is hard,
like they're all so expensive. Like all this stuff right,
But then I talk to people like afterwards or whatever,
(29:33):
like and they asked me about like so you adopt it,
and I tell them the whole story, and it's always like, yes,
I remember now, like why I did it because it
is amazing. And I don't don't really look at my
kids and be like, oh gosh, like what did I do?
I don't do that, But sometimes life just gets really
really really hard. Yeah, and I'm always just like, gosh,
(29:54):
did we do the right thing? Like am I being
a good parent to them? Am? I? Like? Are we
what they need?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And there's a lot of doubt in it, just because
it's so hard. But when I do tell the story
and I talk to other people and like then you
see them playing sports or you see them doing something
that they never would have ever done, You're like, Okay,
this is this is why, and like I'm so glad
we did it.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I saw you getting a little emotional love.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Nah, I do get emotional. I do get emotional because like, man,
they're just like innocent little guys and like they had
no choice in any of this, and I know their
life is hard. Their life is so hard, and our
job and what our decision was to make their life
better and to like give them a love and home
and give show them what love is, unconditional love, and
(30:38):
that their lives do matter, and that their their dreams
do matter, and their needs do matter, and like and
what's really cool is my my biological kids are just
like they bet they never think about that. They're so
like it's just as normal. This is what are this
is these are my brothers. Yeah, like these are my bros.
Like I don't they don't think about that stuff. And
(31:00):
it makes me kind of like sad that I actually
do think about that, because you know, I don't want it.
I don't want to think that, but some days is
just really really tough, and I'm just like, gosh, what if,
like I don't know, what would what would my life
be like? What would our life be like? You know
if I didn't have four mouths to feed or like
(31:23):
or just like even you know, trying to get them
in school and like trying to like you know, our
little ones trying to get in school right now, and
you know, not all not every school accepts him, Like
not every school is like we'll take him, And so
it's a lot of stress on us, and then while
we're working on that, the three other ones are kind
of suffering, like, hey, what about us over here? So
that's the time I'm always kind of like a little
(31:45):
just worried that we can't do it. But we've done
it and we're doing it, and it's a good thing
that we did it well.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
And I think that's human.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I think the feelings you're experiencing are very human, and
it's also very vulnerable of you to share that you
go through those feelings.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm not a parent, and I can't.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
At all relate, but I can empathize and understand that.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I don't think you're alone in that.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think that's pretty common to think, like, am I
doing the right things?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Am I gonna mess them up? What's gonna happen here?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I think those are all very valid feelings and you're human, yeah,
like we always You know, as kids, you put your
parents on pedestals and you forget that they were also
a kid once and they're not an adult, but they.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Still don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Especially as you get older, you start to realize we're
all just fumbling through. You're just a different age fumbling
through and what you're experiencing now, they're going to.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
See later, and it always comes full circle in that matter,
you know.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
So I don't think any of those feelings are invalid,
and you can still feel this is something I will
never take back, while also being this is really hard.
Like one thing, if anything, I've learned in my adult
life is like two things can always be true, and
most of the time those two things are very vastly different.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
So, I mean, I'm proud of you for like owning that.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
And my wife's like, she's the opposite. She's just like like,
I don't know what you're talking about, Like this is
like this is our life.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah, but you have to remember too, there are those
things for her, it's just not with them, right, there's
something else for her that that So those different feelings
you're having about this, she's happying about something else.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And just because she's not about this doesn't mean you're
a bad dad or you didn't do the right thing
or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
She just feels differently.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
She's more maybe a little bit more passionate about this,
and I think that's always been the case.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
She's the one who kind of got you guys in
this direction.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, and for you, you're more passionate about other things,
and there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So that's why you balance each other out.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Why you were It's funny you say that too, because
I've never thought of myself as like a good dad.
Like I've never you know, I mean, I didn't grow
up thinking like I'm going to be a good dad.
Like I grew up just thinking like, oh, I'm going
to do this or I'm going to like be this
kind of person. But never was like I'm gonna be
a good dad. And so as life goes on and
you have two kids and then you adopt two more,
(34:05):
and you're just like, dang, I'm a dad, like and
they're looking at me every second of the day, Like
that's it's crazy. You talk about big brother. They're looking
at you every second.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Of the day.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Every movie you make, watching every movie you make, watching
every reaction that you have to something like if I'm
watching sports and I'm like, come on, like, what what
are you doing? Like thirty seconds later you hear one
of them go, come on, what are you doing? And
I'm just like little minis for a reason, minimes. And
then so I have to just tell myself, like you
got to watch that, Like they're looking at you and
(34:36):
they're going to copy you, and they're going to some
sometimes guide their lives their life is like when they
live their life, they're gonna remember like how did dad
do that? Like oh okay, like this is what dad did.
And so it's a lot of responsibility. And I'm always
constantly being like, am I doing the right thing here?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
But I think I am also a good reminder for you.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Half of the battle and things that we face is
recognizing it and being aware of it.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, and you already are. You've already got half of
it done, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
So you're constantly aware, you're constantly trying to do better,
and now all you have to do is just take
that next little step like that, you already took the
big step. The next vert is like the little one
to like really finish.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
The zipper, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
So you've already done the hard work and you've already
done all of that for yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Thanks Morgan.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
You're doing better than you think you.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Are all clearly, And that's what I'm saying too, Like
I mean, obviously this was awesome. The decision was awesome, Like,
and we're doing awesome. There's just hard times in the
middle of it. And that's with everything in this life.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Oh yeah, that's just life.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
It's is life and we're in it, and we're in it.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
That's a good one. See. I never try to intentionally
make people emotional. It just kind of happen. We talk
about some things and it's like talking to friends.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, how often do you just kind of like start
talking about stuff like that? You don't.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, And I don't know if you've noticed, but I
like really retrospective questions, Like I really like to look
at things and how things work.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
What I've noticed about you is, and we're a lot
alike in this in this way, is that you're a
deep thinker, Like you're not a service person. I just
want to know how you're doing today. No, you're like
you want to know how someone is doing today and
why are they feeling like that today? And what can
I do to help?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
We're impass Yeah. I don't know if you've ever identified
as that, but very much so.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Like empathy is a very strong quality trait in people,
and when they have empathy, it's hard because it's also
hard because you feel everything very deeply good and bad.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So maybe you relate to that too.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I don't know if you've ever looked into that side
of things.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Not really, but I mean I think.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I think for that, I think you're gonna like, dang,
it shouldn't have told me that.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
You know.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Mine goes along the lines with adoption. It's when I
adopted Remy. Like, I was not in a place to
adopt a dog. I was just out of college. I
just bought my first car, I just got my first job.
First of everything, I'm living at my parents' house. I
do not along in the realm of getting a dog.
In fact, I was volunteering at the Humane Society because
(37:04):
I shouldn't have gotten a dog. Well, like, I knew
so much that I wanted to be around animals, but
this was not the time of my life.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
And she came in and.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
I had tried to get her my parents to come
look at her because they were looking at getting a
second dog.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I was like, I feel like she'd be perfect, and
so my parents came home for you. Gosh. So I
was just out of college.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I think I might've been twenty two, maybe twenty one. Actually,
probably I know it was twenty one. I hadn't turned
twenty two yet. And when they came up, they came
up on a Saturday, like Kansas Humee was closed, but
I was volunteering. I was walking the dogs and I said,
just come up at the end of my shift and
we'll I'll bring her out to the playpen. And when
we brought her out there, my parents were like, Morgan,
(37:45):
that's your dog, Like, I know you want us to
get her, but like she loves you, she's already chosen you.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
And I'm like, I can't. There's not there's that's just
not a possibility right now.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
And then so I got home and I was kind
of really upset about because I was like, dang, this
could be like my dog and it's just not the
time for me and my parents like, but I called
and I was like, hey, can I just put a
hold on her? Because she still had to go through
SPAE and everything. I was like, can I just put
a hole if everything goes like.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Then, I want at least first write to say yes.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And they're like yeah, sure, And I put down a
little like down payment on her, like forty dollars and
it's a.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Lot of money. Back then.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah, it was a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
To me.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
It's like a one year old just started her job.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
And I came back home like that next day and
my parents had gotten a little pin and wherever, and
we're like, you should get her, like you have our
support if you want to get her. And I was
like really cried adopted her like immediate. I was like
so nervous for the three days she went through her spee.
I was like, is she gonna make it? She's a puppy,
I real idea. And then she did and like the
rest is history, and I just would have been that's awesome,
(38:47):
Like not in the realm of what should have happened
at the time in my life, but her being a
part of my life is the best thing in my gosh.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I mean you guys are like like one and the same.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Oh yeah, Like she is my soul, my heart dog
for sure. They say you always have like one of
those in your life, and she's mine, and.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
You believe that she like you're kind of the same person, right,
like I.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Think we do.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Do you think you look like her?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
I think you can, like because you're talking about early hair.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
We talked about this, how like you're kind of your dog. Yeah,
well like because I said, like, my dog is like
kind of crazy, and you're like, there we go.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
They pick up on our personality traits and they become
like us. Maybe not when you first get them or
have them, but over time they're adjusting to your life.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Well yeah, I mean that happens with people that wouldn't
happen with animals exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
And those are animals are literally watching your every movie
much like again, same deal, like so I'm doing what
you're doing.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Oh my gosh, so remmy like when she wakes up,
she yawns to oh.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, Butomy doesn't get out of bed like like I'm
just like at you do your thing. I'm not moving
like to Achi.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
So yeah, I wouldn't take that back, even though it
probably wasn't the best point.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
In my life.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
But you know what, like that's not in our control.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
No, it's like perfectly divine.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
And the way your parents said it, I love it.
It's just like you may not think this and you
want us to get her, but like this is your dog.
That's awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
And then ten months later, she's moving down to Nashville
to me like what I thought, Yeah, yeah, that's great
crazy part. Okay, well, we're gonna head over to listener
Q and A.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Now that Eddie and I are all like emotional, we're good. Now,
see bread, We're gonna go answer some questions for y'all.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
All right, see you over there in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
We're headed that way now we are.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
They'll be over there a way. Oh okay, Yeah, that's
the best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Thanks for listening.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Be sure to check out the other two parts this weekend.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
Go follow the show and all social platforms and followed
web girl Morgan to submit your listener questions for next
week's episode.
The Best Bits of the week with Morgan. Part one,
I hang a scene with a member of the show
What is up, everybody? Happy Easter weekend? I'm joined by
none other than producer Eddy.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
What a great weekend? Yeah, weekend is awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
You know, I really miss being a kid and getting
to do Easter a hunts. It's my favorite time.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But you can still do that. Get your friends together
and go do you ooh? You know me and my wife,
that's what we do. We hide the eggs. Do you
want us to come over? Maybe in the middle of
the night, hide eggs outside so you and your friends
can wake up and look.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Well, Eddie, that would make me so happy, But like
your dad, you have so much going on you don't
need to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But you know what I could do.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I could just come join your family's Easter and can
you hid like ten golden eggs for me? And they
have like little alcohol bottles in them?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh yeah, nice?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
What's your what's your like? What do you want? Like fireballs?
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Tito's Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Okay, that'd be fun.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So I could do it with the kids, but their
specialty Morgan egge.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Then what happens though, is like one of the kids
will find the golden egg.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
This is where you are. Hey, golden eggs or Morgans.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, do not touch those.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
It is a good weekend. But I too was doing that. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
We got a lot that happened on the show this week.
Lunchbox reviewed show members. We had Chris Tomlin and studio
Bobby admitted a purchase he made that he got roasted
by his wife for I talked about the man in uniform.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We had a child in.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Movies, draft, a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
This so much happened.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Lunchbox played board games for another chance to drive a Lambeou,
and we had employee of the quarter, so a lot there,
lots of stuff. It was a crazy week and we
got even more to talk about. Because you know what
I like to do is take my segments that didn't
make it to the show and they come here. It
is what I call rejected rejected segments.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, So like they make it, they just don't make
the big show.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, because we do put a lot of work in
thought into ideas that we submitted the show. Yeah, and
sometimes do you ever have like dry weeks where you're
just like I've gotten nothing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh Yeah, like when I don't do anything, I'm like, dang,
I need to like go out and start some trauma.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I know I've thought about, like I should steal something
just so I can have something to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's where That's where I got to pull up things
that have happened that maybe I didn't prep at the
time because I needed some space.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
That's when I start to.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Try and pull those Yeah, where I struggle sometimes is
like whenever, because like I'll see something funny, Like if
i'm met, like I don't know, somebody's house for a
get together and I see something funny, I'm like, oh,
I really want to talk about this, but I don't
want them.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
To hear it exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I give space, so I gotta be like, I'll talk
about it in two weeks. Yep, I'll not mention and
it was said at someone's house. I'll change the story
around a little bit so they don't think it's them.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, this is some inside baseball for y'all.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
But like, especially with my dating life too, like I
put some time in between those things that happen.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You need to, Yeah, because I don't. I do. Most
of the people that I date listen to the show know,
but I just need to.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Protect them, even if I'm talking about a funny whatever
it may be, I just am going to protect them regardless.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And sometimes you change the gender of the person or
kind of I haven't done on dating. No, no, not dating,
but like if I'm talking about like another parent, like oh,
I'll be the mom that did it, and I say
it's the dad.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta change some details because
you do got to protect your personal life, right.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And then sometimes my wife is like, hey, that lady
ignored me, Like did you talk about them on the radio,
Like no, I swear I did it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I promise not that weird.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Yeah, it's like what did you say?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well, speaking of these rejective rejective segments, is there anything
for you?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
How are things in your life? There anything you've shared
that you didn't get to talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
On the show man, I think no, Like my life
right now is all basketball, and it's hard because like
when there's something so much of one thing happening in
my life, that's all I could talk about. Like you said,
like I got a diversify, Like what I'm doing, I
got to go like steal something. I gotta go let
my house on fire, so I can say that I
call the fire department.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You can't really really, you know, I wasn't just like
let me go order some weird food. You're like, let
me burn a house out and steal something.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Lim How can I create the smoke in my house
or the fire alarm goes off and I have to
call the fire department. But no, I mean, you know,
like right now, it's just all basketball, basketball, basketball basketball.
I did prep that I sent in like a note
that said, hey, like, have you ever had a sound
stuck in your head? Because in the last two weeks,
in my head it's been all basketball noises and like
(04:04):
the dribbling, the dribbling, the pounding of the ball on
the court, and shoe squeaks.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Those shoe squeaks Mandos.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
I woke up in the middle of the night Morgan
with that sound because and I thought, I was like,
what did I just hear somebody like walking downstairs? And no,
it was just shoe squeaks that are still in my
head because picture this. In these basketball tournaments that my
kids are playing now, the first games could be as
early as eight am on Saturday morning, and you show
up and it's a big facility with six to eight
(04:34):
basketball courts and they're just separated by mesh walls.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Oh yeah, I remember that all too well.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And I don't know if you have sensory overload, but
I have sensory overload, Like I'm hyper sensitive to a
lots of sound, Like if my kids are all yelling
at the same time, I have to be like everyone
to stop, like, just stop talking, it's too much for me.
Or I have to get out of the room. And
so imagine that for I don't know, ten hours a day,
(05:00):
two days on the.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Weekend, and you can't tell them to get out of
the room.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
No, no, and it's just too much. And so by
the time Monday comes around, I am like exhausted because
my brain has just been overly stimulated. And that's just
been my life.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You're having basketball phantom sounds.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, to where I wake up in the middle
of the nine I'm like, what was that somebody whos
dribble in basketball downstairs? Like what does that sound? It's
just in my head.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Now, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I've never had that basketball, it really is. It's too much.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Do you feel like that's their best sport? Like by far,
so we've started.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
What we did with them is like, all right, play everything.
You want to play soccer, play soccer, you want to
play baseball, plays baseball, I mean sports. Youth sports is
geniusly organized to where when one ends, the other one begins,
and one ends and one begins, and they can literally
play every sport in the world because that's how the
youth sports people have designed it to A kid can
(05:52):
play sports all year round, and so when you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Think it's until like freshman year or like maybe eighth
grade where that kind of stops middle school kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, with us, it's just like when the little when
our little boy, the little baby, he when he got
old enough to play sports, were like, it is too much,
Like we can't be at three places at one time.
So we told the older boys, like you got to
kill one sport, got it, And they all killed baseball.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Okay, so none of them will be pro baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
None of them want to play baseball, and I think
mostly because they're bored.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
You know, it's like innings and time and like I
got to sit here and and kid pitch, Like kids
just don't hit the ball very well.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
That's why I don't know if I don't know if
you have any photos of them, But like when I
was a kid and I played softball growing up, I
pretty much played softball until high school, and there were
so many photos of me playing with the dirt in
the outfold.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm just chilling their life and probably your mom and
dad yelling Morgan, yeah, stop playing with.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It dirt, but you're so bored. It's not It doesn't
get exciting until you start to get a little bit
older and know what's going on.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Right, So there, So the older ones are done. So
now they play football and they play basketball. I kind
of just got rid of every other sport.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Dang which school. Those are two solid ones. You got
to fall in a spring sport.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah yeah, basically, but they do love basketball the most
and then football. I think that I'll just kind of
play out. We'll see they love football, but I mean
when the hits get harder, they might kind of opt out.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, and I feel like football really becomes the kind
of thing because for whatever reason, football players are just
like great in high school, you know, larity, Yeah, Friday
night lights, there's all the feelings around it, like basketball,
what happens, but not to that extent.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Not really. No, it's football. If your football player in
high school, like you're cool.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Yeah, And I didn't know if that shifted. Maybe that's
just like when we were in oh still the same. Okay,
So maybe as they get older than football, yeah, maybe
we'll see get the girls.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, but that's that's been what's going on in my life?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
You Oh, well, that's a fun one. I don't have much.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
I wanted to know what was going on yards because
all the rest of this stuff that I'm making you
talk about are things that came randomly from mine.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Rejected segment, rejected, rejected, rejected, reject because it didn't make rejecteds. Yeah,
you get it up. Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
I had this thought, I want to know, Oh what
like job do you wish you understood more? And the
reason I asked this is because I was seeing like
the package deliveries happen like ups Drivers and Amazon, and
I'm so curious. I know they have routes they have
to go on, but how do they know, like house
to house, what's the best route?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Like how does that work? Did they have an app?
And it's like you're gonna go in disorder and do
these houses first?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Good question?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
You know, like I've never seen with their phones up
and they have GPS going they just know.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Where they're going. Yeah, and all, like very rarely does
a package end up.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
In the wrong place, that's really good.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And if it ends up in the wrong places in
the same area, sure, because they managed to get to
that area.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
But I'm just so curious how they work.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I would imagine that there is got to be an
app that says, this is your route. You're gonna go
down right, perfect, and then you're gonna go left, and
the you're gonna go right, and this is the house,
and I think it marks the houses that they're at.
My brother was a driver, one of my really good
friends was a driver, and they figured it out.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Wait, so did they ever tell you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Like they never asked them. I'm fat I can ask
my brother.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Please do because, like I genuinely want to know how
it works, because I right now, yeah, this is this
is how somebody is somebody who's so directionally challenged. I
could never fathom.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Let me see if he'll answer. He's probably at work.
Hold on, is he.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Driving right now?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
No, No, he doesn't worry. He doesn't do that. He
used to work for FedEx, so let me.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah, I want to know because I know even the
male people they never have them either, and maybe male
people more often have a route, but I don't know
about like Amazon, It's not always going to be the
same route every day.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm just so curious.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Let the answers. Yeah, Hey, bro, I'm doing a podcast
right now, and let me put you on speaker. I'm
going to put you on speaker as I'm recording. I'm
here with Morgan say hi, Hi, Okay, Well, hey, so
she has a question. She was like a job that
I've always been She's always been interested in knowing. Is
like delivery drivers, like FedEx drivers, how do they figure
(09:56):
out their routes? Is it an app that you guys
have that like it just automatically tells you where to go?
Or do you as the driver have to figure that out? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Well back when I did it, yeah, we had to
figure our own routes out. It had this technique that
involved like a circle and you had to get your
parcel addresses together and kind of create a circular route,
right like from start point to endpoint in like a circle.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
That sounds so complicated? You're telling me there's no app
for this now.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I mean I don't know about it now.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I hadn't worked at FedEx in a long time. But
back then, yeah, that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
We had to just look.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
At the addresses and and just kind of formulate our
own route the shape of a circle.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Did you ever like finish your route and be like,
oh crap, I forgot a whole area? No, thankfully?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
No. Ok, So are you really good with directions and stuff?
Because I'm very directly challenged. Were you just really good
at knowing where all these roads in different streets are?
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, I mean I guess. I mean, I mean I
was working the area that I grew up in, so
that helped. So yeah, I mean yeah, I mean, yeah,
I guess I was familiar with the area.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Hey, what about what about your your time frame? Like
did you have a deadline? It all had to be
delivered by five o'clock? And like would people stop and
talk to you and be like hey man, what's up?
And You're like I gotta go. Yeah do that?
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Like the time constraints are pretty tight. You have to
make your your goals and yeah, you've got a time
frame every day, So yeah, sometimes you would you know,
some people would talk to you you kind of have
to just cut the conversation short and move.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
That's wild. Well, thank you for the inside MBO.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Like I saw these drivers like I need to know
how this works.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
And I told Morgan, I'm like, hey, you know what,
my brother was a driver. Let me see.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I can't imagine drivers in big cities.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Now, that's gotta be tough. Yeah, dude, I bet you. Now,
they gotta have apps where like it's like, all right,
this is your route, like just follow this line and
that's what you do.
Speaker 4 (11:56):
Yeah, they probably use the GPS apps, like you know,
the iPhone apps and such. Yeah, right, I'd imagine. I mean,
you know, like where we drew up, it wasn't that
much of a cluster. You know, it's pretty wide open, right,
but like, can you imagine like drivers in the bigger cities, Man,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
That's tough.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Well, yeah, I'm like having to individually if you have
to like individually plug in a GPS. Thing about like
I put like four points on a GPS, right, you
have five hundred addresses that you have to put in
your No, I would I would.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Die, hey and and back when you were doing it
you didn't have like the phone, like you had to
take a picture or whatever like of the package if they.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Weren't now we didn't have today's cell technology.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
No, no way, So sometimes you would just drop the
package in the wrong like house and oh well no.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I mean the more that you would do your route,
the more familiar you'd become with like you know the
houses and their house numbers and all that. So yeah,
you know, I mean it took it takes a little practice,
you know, to really get to know your route. But
that's why most of these drivers they're assigned a route
right because they know the area like the back of
the hand, and you know, they know where the houses
are and such, which is the right.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
House and not so fascinating. Thank you, no, thank you
for the info. I was just I really had questions.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Thanks bro, the memories man, those times, Yeah, she just
asked it. I'm like, you know what, I know someone
that would definitely answer these And dude, I'm sorry man,
I did say, like you weren't that smart because she was.
I was like, there's no way that they had to
like figure out these routes because like you, Steve, I'm like, man,
you guys are drivers. They were like the smartest dudes.
There's no way that you guys.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
He did totally insult you before calling.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Hey, my bad Dade, my bad man testament. That taught
right right. Okay, dude, thanks, I'll talk to you later. All.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh that's funny.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Like listen, I just love looking at just jobs that
you see day in and day out and you never
know the info outs of them.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
And that's one of them.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
I saw so many of them and they are just
so good at what they do and I could.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Never Yeah, I've thought about like groceries stores, like how
do they keep everything fresh right? You know, like is
there a deadline on the stuff? Like and like who
orders everything? Like, hey, we need more restauranties, like we
need four more. I just noticed it.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Does it come overnight? Is it really quick or do
they have to wait several pase?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And like meat that would stress me out, Like I
can't buy that much pork chop because like I only
sold two pork chops and I had to throw away
like ten pork chops.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, it's like the ins and outs of just everyday
life that I've never you see.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
And everything functions as it should right, and it just one.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Day, I was just really thinking about a whole lot
of jobs, and that was.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
One of them.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
What's funny is when people are like I'm gonna start
a business, like, oh, that's a great idea, and then
they like start like looking into like.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh, crowd, what are you speaking for yourself? For your chicken?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But I've done this yeah yeah. I mean just even
when I looked in the chicken business, it's just like,
holy crap, I gotta look at storage. I gotta have
refrigerators for the chicken. I got to ship the chicken.
I've got to work with like a like how do
you what kind of relationship do you have with a shipper?
Who's your shipper?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
In all the regulations that are on regulations like where
do you get that? And where do you store that?
And like who's going to do that? It's all lot.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So when you hear of operations like you're right, like delivery, Amazon,
FedEx ups all this stuff, like it's an operation where
I'm sure that when they first started they're like, oh crap,
we got to figure this out. That's not going to work,
and to now they're like we got it.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, isn't that crazy? Just how far we've come.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
That's such a cool thought.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, and I wanted to talk about it that way.
You just made it that much cooler.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
On your back, I know exactly who can answer this.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
So we just talked about like cool things and how
far we've come, which is really ironic because what I
actually had, not even intending for that to be where
that went. But you know, I think a lot about
living in the future and just where we're at in
twenty twenty four, and we have so many advancements, but
there is one thing, like I don't appreciate living in
this moment and maybe this will spark something and you
to be like, yeah, this is mine.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Okay for me.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
It's allergies. I have allergies, but dog has allergies. I
have how has allies?
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Like everybody you knows.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I have allergies, and I don't feel like in the
nineties and even in the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I had allergies.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Well that's probably because where you lived, I.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Mean maybe, But like now I go back to Kansas still,
it's still a little rough there.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Now Kansas too.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It never used to be you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And maybe it's because I've developed in Tennessee and I
bring whatever.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Yeah, I've had allergies in my whole life. Really, I
used to even like when I was like in fifth grade,
fourth grade, I had to go do allergy shots.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Do you feel like it's the South?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I don't know, because you have you ever done the
allergy test that Bobby talks about where they scratch U.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Oh like no, that looks that looks awful.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
No, it's terrible. It's the worst. And I'll never forget.
I mean, it happened when I was in third grade,
and I'll never forget it. Like they scratch your body,
like your arm. I think it was my arm and
they would just do like here's pine, here's oak, here's grass,
here is dust, here's so whatever. And I would have
fifty scratches on my arms and then they would come
back in like twenty minutes and see how each one reacted,
(16:58):
and my whole arm would be freaking like blown up.
That painful and you can't scratch it.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh hey, no, I don't have self control.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Like that it is and I'm like, it are it's
so bad and you can't scratch it, but that tells
you what you're allergic to, and my whole arm was
like well everything. So in South Texas, I was alerted
to mesquite, I was allergic to whatever grass. And then
when I came to in Austin, I was allergic to
cedar cedar, cedar cedar. In Austin, they're a cedar everywhere.
(17:26):
When I moved to Nashville, it's like there's a whole
different pollen that I never had that I'm allergic to.
So it never ended with me.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Well, and maybe that's the case.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Maybe I'm a little bit uninformed in it because we're
growing up in Kansas for whatever reason.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Maybe it's because it was so windy. I don't know.
Somebody with much smarter education on this would probably be
able to tell us.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
But I just feel like people like you meet everybody
and they probably have at least one allergy to something,
like you know, I'm allergic to gluten.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Or I'm sensitive to all these things.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
And whether it's way stuff has changed over the years
or whatever, sure, it is the one thing that I
think about where I'm like, dang, I really liked being
very unaware as a kid, and I didn't did not
care about anything, and I was not allergic to anything. Well.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And what's funny too, is like just being sick, right,
Like when we were younger and we got sick, it's like, oh,
you just have a cold. Yeah, Like, oh, you just
have a cough, Like it's fine. But now we're older
and we're like, mean, I got I got a cough,
and like I can't go to work with this cough,
and so I have to go to the doctor and
they're like, oh, you have this, and you have that,
and then you take antibiotics and then you take too
(18:34):
many antiboxes and you're like, well, I can't take that
many antibotics. But as a kid, you're just like whatever,
you know, like you have a deal. So it's just
a whole different thing when you're older that you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Have to like and maybe that's it. You get older and.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You care more about your body.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, and you're more aware of what's going on with
this stuff. It could be all of that. But just
for like Remy's literally allergic to grass. This dog is
allergic to ever. She's a dog, like she has to
go to the back.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
To poop, that's her toilet. It's like if you're alerged
to a toilet and Hazel.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Was losing hair because she was allergic to what.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, these poor animals are, like what am I going through?
And like Remy never had that when we were in Kansas,
So it very much could be a regional thing.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
And then I wonder too, like dogs right, like they're
like if they were not domesticated, would they be like,
oh man, where's the grass? I can't poopyre like, oh no,
this is.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
What's funny about her. She intentionally rolls in the grass.
It's like she knows she's not supposed to. I'm like,
you're gonna be itchy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
What's funny? Dogs like? Yeah, I think dogs don't care.
They're just like whatever. It's like me and lactose intolerant. Yeah,
you're like just take the hand, just like whatever. Man,
you know what, I can't I can't eat ice cream.
I'm gonna pay for it, but just do it anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, So that's mine.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
That was something where I'm like, you know what, maybe
I don't like this advancement of where we're going.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, it did it spark anything for you?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I mean no, I mean I was with you on
on just kind of like being sick and allergies. For sure,
you're gonna hate me on this, but I just feel
like social media, yeah it's fair.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I'm not going to hate you as it's fair, but.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
That's like you, that's like your life, that's what you do.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It is, but like it's you know, it's also if
it goes away and more figure or something else.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I hear people talk about it all the time. We're
just like, man, like it's so bad and people need
to just stop with social media. So there's online bullying,
there is the syndrome where or what's it called where you.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Just imposter syndrome everything posture, and.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Then there's like the whole you don't think your life
is good enough because of everyone else that you see.
You're always comparing yourself to other people all that, and like,
I really I'm not phased by any of it because
I don't spend that much time on it. You always
make fun of me because I don't post a lot,
like I just don't.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Okay, I don't make funny you. I just encourage you too,
because like you, I need to.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I know I really should. I really should. But to me,
it's kind of like I'll take a picture of like, oh,
that's funny. I'll post that, and then I'm working on
the caption and just like, man, I've spent ten minutes
on this caption and I really got to go, like
I've got to do something and.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I don't have time for this.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And now, oh, when I didn't tag Bobby on this
and I didn't tag Morgan on this, I'm just like, I
gotta go. I can tag that. And by that time,
I'm just like this is stupid, Like this is way
too much time, and I feel as I get older,
it's just like I hate where social media is going
because everyone does it and everyone like my wife not
to throw under the bus, but like at the end
(21:17):
of the day, it's our time to hang out. All
the kids are in bed, and she just wants to scroll,
and she's like, let me scroll.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
It's so true though, because she didn't get to do
it all day.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
She's like, I didn't get to stroll scroll a day.
I'm like, well, I didn't scroll either, but I want
to hang out with you. And she's just like I
enjoy like just scrolling, yeah, mindless scrolling, mindless scrolling. And
I'm just like, man, I hate this because I think
we all do love to scroll. We all do love
to see what our friends and families are doing. We
all love that part. But I think in the at
(21:46):
the same time, it does take a lot of time
away from our lives.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
So it's a tricky one.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
No, but you're not wrong, and I respect it and
I understand it.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, Like I do love it, but I also do
feel like I've learned a balance to be like, Okay,
you live your life a little bit.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
You can come back because at some point, at one
point in your life, you were like always on it.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
And I still am because I have to be, you
know that as part of my job. But I have
gotten really good at I'll capture content and I'll post
it later. I'm not worried about posting it in that
moment anymore or whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I'm like, if I post this two weeks from now.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Whatever, Okay, I do that too, but how do you
remember it.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I have like an ongoing list in my notes of
like things I've put together to be like, oh, I
need something to post it.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Okay, I'll do that one because I'll go back and
look at pictures like from a month ago and be like, oh,
I meant to post that one I never do.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's why you put a little dumps.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
You do the whole when you're like October.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, you littled up and be like here's my whole month.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Okay, you get it.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
You'll get there.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I'll get there. No, I probably won't.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Okay, I do want to tell you something. I feel like,
you know how we are speaking of phones that they're
always listening.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yes, why don't feel like we got a big brother
situation happening? Oh no, let me talk you what happened
and you you helped me draw a conclusion.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So the other day we were in studio with Amy
and I asked her because I'm wanting to paint a
room in my house. I'm like, you got any painters
because I really need someone to compete this room.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Think I'll send you one. And I'm like, okay, no
big deal. I get home that afternoon, there's painting. There's
a little like painting brochure on my door. Never had
one in my whole life of living there at the house.
Like good, good, that's a little weird, No big deal.
Next morning I come to work, I'm leaving work and
(23:30):
in my car door is a business card for another painter.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, it's not the same painter.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
All of these are different. All of them are different.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
See, that's weird because like I get it online. There's yes,
you know, if I'm on your phone, it's listening. It
sends it to all one of the cookies or whatever
and sends to all these marketers and like they get
it to a painting place and whatever. I understand that in.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Person though, That's what I'm saying. And all in the
same twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Whoa coincidence or not?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I don't feel like it feel like somebody's either followed me.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
And here's what's weird about a painting company.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Yeah, and never in my life, I've never brought this up.
I've never had brochures on my door on my car.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Never is did you talk about it on this podcast?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
No? The only time I mentioned it was literally it
in between a break to Amy, like, hey, can you
air nothing on air?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
So who would be the big brother who would have
leaked that information? Or is it like microphones in the studio?
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yeah, it could be the cameras in the studio and
the cameras in the studio. Person, I get it. If
you did it on my phone, could it be lunch box.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh crazy, could it be here? Hear me out? Hear
me out? Could it be that lunchbox overheard you guys,
because sometimes the microphones are on and he hangs out
in the little green room with scuba and and like
he heard, and his cousin, a relative, a family member.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Does he have three different persons in the paint three.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Different people that that owns a painting company, and maybe
they help each other out. It's a little painting community,
you know.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I did never figure out who did the penis thing
to me?
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Excuse me, the penis candies that were left in my
coat jacket and this penis sucker that was left in
my hold on.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Hold on, don't don't ever call me that again.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
He was.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I brought it up on the show, so you did.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I don't remember that. Oh my gosh, I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I was like, somebody left this stuff, and I'm no idier.
Who did it?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Ever call it a penis sucker. It's not that's what
it is. It's not. It's a penis lollipop. Okay, same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm like, what did I say differently?
Speaker 3 (25:25):
It's the same thing, And I still weird mass somebody
just like following me in that's weird.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
But I got I got the painting one too in
my car.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
He did.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, I think we all did. Somebody came to our
garage and.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Like in the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
That's very that's very strange. Can I ask for a
follow up on another note? That is very weird?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm not discussing that. It's very weird.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
That's why I don't. I don't have a conclusion.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yeah, we don't have conclusions. I think it's lunchbox of cousins.
But uh, is there an update on your uh your
little ghost and your camera?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Oh, I think he left me a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
He did. Yeah, he hasn't been back and he lingered
for like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
This was the ghost on your It was.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Like a little little what you guys called dust or
rain bubble, but he was it was water whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
It was dripping two weeks.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Doesn't it dries water?
Speaker 2 (26:17):
But the dew happens every morning. I don't know. If
you wake up, you wake up early.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But it was in the same spot.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It was, no, I know, it moves around different spots.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Whatever it was or or it was an orb and
it was floating around he left you. I would like
to say that I also had a blue jay and
a cardinal lingering around the same spot.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
So what does that have to do with anything?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
I mean, they say that blue jays and cardinals are
like reincarnated.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Right, that's right. I forgot about that.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
So like between those and the orbs, something was happening to.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
They don't lose it and you're already losing Like it
was an orb.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
And it kept showing up, but no, he left me.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
How beautiful are blue jays.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Though they're really mean?
Speaker 2 (26:54):
They are?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, they're notorious I think for being mean. I don't
want I'm gonna google that to make sure.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Yeah, before where they can get canceled by the bluebird community,
Like I don't say stuff like that. You don't know that.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I think my dad told me that.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, blue jays can be very aggressive to other birds
sometimes rat nests and have been found to have decapitated
other birds.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What the they're like like serial killers?
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, like I think they're they're wow kind of mean,
not all the time.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's crazy because they're so beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, and it.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Says they appear like it says while they appear to
be bullies who push others away and greedily grab all
the food they can.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Blue jays are cool towards their.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Own kind of course they're racist, so they're racist serial killers.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
I knew there was something with them, but I do
think they're cool birds. So other than that, that's just
you know, they make a little bad rap.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Yep. Yeah, yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
For putting that. Between that and the fact that there's
a lot of bird things that have happened on our show.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
So I'll just stop talking, Okay, Okay, is that all
you want on the update?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You want to?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Okay, all right, we're gonna take one more quick breaks, right, bad?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
All right, let's talk about our lives not currently Yeah.
Well yeah, we're just you know, we're staying on that topic. Okay,
these are all similar but different. Okay, So what is
one decision of your life? We often always talk about
regrets and the things that we wish we didn't do
or whatever, But that's not what I'm asking Okay, I know,
I'm asking you, what is one decision of your life
that you would never take back, Like you're so glad
(28:22):
it happened, good or bad.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
You're so glad it happened.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Ooh gosh, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I know, this is tough.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
This is like the one where you're like if they
took everything else back.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
There's the one because I don't really think about like
what could have been a lot, Like I don't ever
think of like, oh man, what if like I married
this person instead of my wife, Like what if, you know,
then I would have completely different kids? Like I never
do that.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
That's a good thing because what can be very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yes, so I never do that. What if I didn't
take that job? What if I did? Oh man, I
would have been a millionaire. Like I don't do that crap,
But I mean I do love and it's hard. Adoption
is so hard, and the fact that we adopt there
are two kids is like amazing, and I'm so glad
we did it. But it's sometimes when we're in it,
(29:10):
like when we're in the weeds, Like sometimes when I'm
really like upset and overwhelmed, I feel like I'm always
just like, oh my gosh, why did we do this?
Like why do I have like four kids right now?
Like my life is freaking chaos and money is hard,
like they're all so expensive. Like all this stuff right,
But then I talk to people like afterwards or whatever,
(29:33):
like and they asked me about like so you adopt it,
and I tell them the whole story, and it's always like, yes,
I remember now, like why I did it because it
is amazing. And I don't don't really look at my
kids and be like, oh gosh, like what did I do?
I don't do that, But sometimes life just gets really
really really hard. Yeah, and I'm always just like, gosh,
(29:54):
did we do the right thing? Like am I being
a good parent to them? Am? I? Like? Are we
what they need?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
You know?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And there's a lot of doubt in it, just because
it's so hard. But when I do tell the story
and I talk to other people and like then you
see them playing sports or you see them doing something
that they never would have ever done, You're like, Okay,
this is this is why, and like I'm so glad
we did it.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I saw you getting a little emotional love.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Nah, I do get emotional. I do get emotional because like, man,
they're just like innocent little guys and like they had
no choice in any of this, and I know their
life is hard. Their life is so hard, and our
job and what our decision was to make their life
better and to like give them a love and home
and give show them what love is, unconditional love, and
(30:38):
that their lives do matter, and that their their dreams
do matter, and their needs do matter, and like and
what's really cool is my my biological kids are just
like they bet they never think about that. They're so
like it's just as normal. This is what are this
is these are my brothers. Yeah, like these are my bros.
Like I don't they don't think about that stuff. And
(31:00):
it makes me kind of like sad that I actually
do think about that, because you know, I don't want it.
I don't want to think that, but some days is
just really really tough, and I'm just like, gosh, what if,
like I don't know, what would what would my life
be like? What would our life be like? You know
if I didn't have four mouths to feed or like
(31:23):
or just like even you know, trying to get them
in school and like trying to like you know, our
little ones trying to get in school right now, and
you know, not all not every school accepts him, Like
not every school is like we'll take him, And so
it's a lot of stress on us, and then while
we're working on that, the three other ones are kind
of suffering, like, hey, what about us over here? So
that's the time I'm always kind of like a little
(31:45):
just worried that we can't do it. But we've done
it and we're doing it, and it's a good thing
that we did it well.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
And I think that's human.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I think the feelings you're experiencing are very human, and
it's also very vulnerable of you to share that you
go through those feelings.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm not a parent, and I can't.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
At all relate, but I can empathize and understand that.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I don't think you're alone in that.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
I think that's pretty common to think, like, am I
doing the right things?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Am I gonna mess them up? What's gonna happen here?
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I think those are all very valid feelings and you're human, yeah,
like we always You know, as kids, you put your
parents on pedestals and you forget that they were also
a kid once and they're not an adult, but they.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Still don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Especially as you get older, you start to realize we're
all just fumbling through. You're just a different age fumbling
through and what you're experiencing now, they're going to.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
See later, and it always comes full circle in that matter,
you know.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
So I don't think any of those feelings are invalid,
and you can still feel this is something I will
never take back, while also being this is really hard.
Like one thing, if anything, I've learned in my adult
life is like two things can always be true, and
most of the time those two things are very vastly different.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
So, I mean, I'm proud of you for like owning that.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
And my wife's like, she's the opposite. She's just like like,
I don't know what you're talking about, Like this is
like this is our life.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Yeah, but you have to remember too, there are those
things for her, it's just not with them, right, there's
something else for her that that So those different feelings
you're having about this, she's happying about something else.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And just because she's not about this doesn't mean you're
a bad dad or you didn't do the right thing
or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
She just feels differently.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
She's more maybe a little bit more passionate about this,
and I think that's always been the case.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
She's the one who kind of got you guys in
this direction.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, and for you, you're more passionate about other things,
and there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So that's why you balance each other out.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Why you were It's funny you say that too, because
I've never thought of myself as like a good dad.
Like I've never you know, I mean, I didn't grow
up thinking like I'm going to be a good dad.
Like I grew up just thinking like, oh, I'm going
to do this or I'm going to like be this
kind of person. But never was like I'm gonna be
a good dad. And so as life goes on and
you have two kids and then you adopt two more,
(34:05):
and you're just like, dang, I'm a dad, like and
they're looking at me every second of the day, Like
that's it's crazy. You talk about big brother. They're looking
at you every second.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Of the day.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Every movie you make, watching every movie you make, watching
every reaction that you have to something like if I'm
watching sports and I'm like, come on, like, what what
are you doing? Like thirty seconds later you hear one
of them go, come on, what are you doing? And
I'm just like little minis for a reason, minimes. And
then so I have to just tell myself, like you
got to watch that, Like they're looking at you and
(34:36):
they're going to copy you, and they're going to some
sometimes guide their lives their life is like when they
live their life, they're gonna remember like how did dad
do that? Like oh okay, like this is what dad did.
And so it's a lot of responsibility. And I'm always
constantly being like, am I doing the right thing here?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
But I think I am also a good reminder for you.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Half of the battle and things that we face is
recognizing it and being aware of it.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, and you already are. You've already got half of
it done, you know.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
So you're constantly aware, you're constantly trying to do better,
and now all you have to do is just take
that next little step like that, you already took the
big step. The next vert is like the little one
to like really finish.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
The zipper, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
So you've already done the hard work and you've already
done all of that for yourself.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Thanks Morgan.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
You're doing better than you think you.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Are all clearly, And that's what I'm saying too, Like
I mean, obviously this was awesome. The decision was awesome, Like,
and we're doing awesome. There's just hard times in the
middle of it. And that's with everything in this life.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Oh yeah, that's just life.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
It's is life and we're in it, and we're in it.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
That's a good one. See. I never try to intentionally
make people emotional. It just kind of happen. We talk
about some things and it's like talking to friends.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Well, how often do you just kind of like start
talking about stuff like that? You don't.
Speaker 3 (35:53):
Yeah, And I don't know if you've noticed, but I
like really retrospective questions, Like I really like to look
at things and how things work.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
What I've noticed about you is, and we're a lot
alike in this in this way, is that you're a
deep thinker, Like you're not a service person. I just
want to know how you're doing today. No, you're like
you want to know how someone is doing today and
why are they feeling like that today? And what can
I do to help?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
We're impass Yeah. I don't know if you've ever identified
as that, but very much so.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Like empathy is a very strong quality trait in people,
and when they have empathy, it's hard because it's also
hard because you feel everything very deeply good and bad.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
So maybe you relate to that too.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I don't know if you've ever looked into that side
of things.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
Not really, but I mean I think.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
I think for that, I think you're gonna like, dang,
it shouldn't have told me that.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
You know.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Mine goes along the lines with adoption. It's when I
adopted Remy. Like, I was not in a place to
adopt a dog. I was just out of college. I
just bought my first car, I just got my first job.
First of everything, I'm living at my parents' house. I
do not along in the realm of getting a dog.
In fact, I was volunteering at the Humane Society because
(37:04):
I shouldn't have gotten a dog. Well, like, I knew
so much that I wanted to be around animals, but
this was not the time of my life.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
And she came in and.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
I had tried to get her my parents to come
look at her because they were looking at getting a
second dog.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I was like, I feel like she'd be perfect, and
so my parents came home for you. Gosh. So I
was just out of college.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I think I might've been twenty two, maybe twenty one. Actually,
probably I know it was twenty one. I hadn't turned
twenty two yet. And when they came up, they came
up on a Saturday, like Kansas Humee was closed, but
I was volunteering. I was walking the dogs and I said,
just come up at the end of my shift and
we'll I'll bring her out to the playpen. And when
we brought her out there, my parents were like, Morgan,
(37:45):
that's your dog, Like, I know you want us to
get her, but like she loves you, she's already chosen you.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
And I'm like, I can't. There's not there's that's just
not a possibility right now.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
And then so I got home and I was kind
of really upset about because I was like, dang, this
could be like my dog and it's just not the
time for me and my parents like, but I called
and I was like, hey, can I just put a
hold on her? Because she still had to go through
SPAE and everything. I was like, can I just put
a hole if everything goes like.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Then, I want at least first write to say yes.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And they're like yeah, sure, And I put down a
little like down payment on her, like forty dollars and
it's a.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Lot of money. Back then.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Yeah, it was a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
To me.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
It's like a one year old just started her job.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
And I came back home like that next day and
my parents had gotten a little pin and wherever, and
we're like, you should get her, like you have our
support if you want to get her. And I was
like really cried adopted her like immediate. I was like
so nervous for the three days she went through her spee.
I was like, is she gonna make it? She's a puppy,
I real idea. And then she did and like the
rest is history, and I just would have been that's awesome,
(38:47):
Like not in the realm of what should have happened
at the time in my life, but her being a
part of my life is the best thing in my gosh.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I mean you guys are like like one and the same.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Oh yeah, Like she is my soul, my heart dog
for sure. They say you always have like one of
those in your life, and she's mine, and.
Speaker 2 (39:03):
You believe that she like you're kind of the same person, right,
like I.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Think we do.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Do you think you look like her?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
I think you can, like because you're talking about early hair.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
We talked about this, how like you're kind of your dog. Yeah,
well like because I said, like, my dog is like
kind of crazy, and you're like, there we go.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
They pick up on our personality traits and they become
like us. Maybe not when you first get them or
have them, but over time they're adjusting to your life.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Well yeah, I mean that happens with people that wouldn't
happen with animals exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
And those are animals are literally watching your every movie
much like again, same deal, like so I'm doing what
you're doing.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Oh my gosh, so remmy like when she wakes up,
she yawns to oh.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, Butomy doesn't get out of bed like like I'm
just like at you do your thing. I'm not moving
like to Achi.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
So yeah, I wouldn't take that back, even though it
probably wasn't the best point.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
In my life.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
But you know what, like that's not in our control.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
No, it's like perfectly divine.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
And the way your parents said it, I love it.
It's just like you may not think this and you
want us to get her, but like this is your dog.
That's awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
And then ten months later, she's moving down to Nashville
to me like what I thought, Yeah, yeah, that's great
crazy part. Okay, well, we're gonna head over to listener
