Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Two, What's Up Everybody? It is my favorite part of
the three parts of Best Bits when I bring on
a show member and we get to talk about life
and sometimes I make them cry, hopefully not this weekend.
And this weekend I'm joined by Mike Dee.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I can try to cry and demand if you want.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
No, it has been a natural cry.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Okay, maybe well.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Because you're sitting on the therapy couch and that's some
sometimes why I make people start to tear up and cry.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, it's a very vulnerable couch.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, it's not intentional, so I don't want you to
force do it. It's all it's all meant to be genuine.
But we've got a lot to talk about. So we
had Kane Brown on the show this week, and it
made us think about some new artists that we love.
And you have one that you're like really digging right
now right make Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I feel like this year I've really gotten into this artist.
His name is Medium Build, but it's one guy and
it takes a lot for me to like connect emotionally
with music, and I feel like every song he is
released in the last year has become my favorite song.
So it's like this singer songwriter indie pop okay, and
he is just such a good songwriter that I will

(01:10):
go and just read his lyrics because it's like poetry,
and it's the lyrics combined with his performance. And when
you see him play live, he puts so much emotion
into every single song. It could just be him and
a guitar, and there's just so much passion you could hear,
like the blood curdling in his voice. There's so much
passion there that I can't wait to see him live.

(01:31):
I'm seeing him next week or next to a month.
And I haven't been this just interested and all about
an artist in a long.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Time when I was really anticipating you to be like,
he's like pop punk or like alternative or maybe like
a post Malone type. Yeah, so I feel like this
is also a different genre for you.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I feel yeah, because I feel like the punk rock
stuff I like is the stuff I grew up on.
There's not a whole lot of new bands that I've
that's fine a lot, Like, yeah, there'll be a band
every now and then that'll put out now my like,
but that's all like stuff from my childhood and teenage years.
I think the stuff I lean towards now when it's
new music, it's a lot of the sad stuff. And

(02:10):
he's kind of that balance of like, it's so sad
that it makes you happy, okay, because it has the
pop feel to it, but a lot of the emotion
and story behind the songs are kind of on the
bummer side.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's fair, So you're getting a little bit of what
you normally like with a little hint of something.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah. And another thing that I don't really do anymore
is like listen to music in the car.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I just don't sit in silence.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Sometimes when we leave here, I don't want to hear anything.
I'll listen in silence. But I listen to so much
music primarily while I'm working out or running that when
I'm in the car, I'll try to listen to like
a podcast. And it's very rare now that I listen
to music. But the other day I was driving home
and I was playing his latest song called Because of You,
and I like cranked it up like all the way,

(02:53):
and I haven't done that in so long, and it
felt so good.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Mike is hype about somebody like I can see the
excitement in your eye. Yeah, I wasn't prepared for that,
but I love that for you. I don't you know.
I don't know that I have like a favorite artist
that is new, but I have somebody who have been
like really stuck on and who is newer onto the
scene at least as far as like getting stuff on radio.

(03:16):
His name's Teddy Swims. Heard him, you've probably seen him.
I think he's done stuff with post Malone. I can't remember.
He's done a few different collapse now. But every time
he releases a new song like it, I immediately go
and listen. It's one of those where I'm like, I'm
so excited to see what he's going to do next,
because you just never know. And every time I listen
to one of his new songs, it's another freaking banger,

(03:37):
and I get so excited. And it's somebody that like
is kind of falling below the radar in a sense,
like only some people know about him, but like he's
also massive at the same time.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, does that make sense? Yeah, it makes a lot
of sense, oddly.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Okay, So yeah, I think that would be mine. But
I need to go listen to Medium Build. That's also
an interesting name.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, I like it for an artist.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Like I feel like we'm talking about like legos or something.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yeah, a medium build.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
You are like somebody's structure who they are, Okay, okay.
We also had a question that we don't get to
in listener Q and A that somebody brought up. You
and I are both You're a vegan and I'm a vegetarian.
So a question that was asked is like, how do
we incorporate protein into our meals?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
A lot of tofu?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
You do eat tofoo?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Yeah? I love tofu. I feel like in almost every meal,
at least the ones that cook at home, I'll add tofu.
And then when I go out to eat, we usually
go to places where you can add tofu.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Dang, Okay, I can't give behind tofu Mike. Really yeah,
there's something about the texture that I do not like.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh I love the texture really yeah, because it kind
of gives me that feeling of eating some Yeah, like
eating a protein that you normally would if you eat meat.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I mean, it's so much better for you than like
how I probably do it, which is eating like a
lot and drinking a lot of protein shakes and stuff.
But I mean I just can't. I've tried, and I
can't get into it.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
There's just so many different ways you can make it too,
Like bake it, you can fry it, you can just
put in a stir fry.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Maybe I need to give it another run. It's been
a few years since I got into, like tried it,
but it's something. It reminds me kind of a fake cheese.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah it looks like that. Yeah, yeah, and I give it.
I'll give it to you. It does not look like
it would taste good, and just on its own, you
have to add stuff to it to make it taste good.
So I feel like, at the core of it, I'm
not just walking around chomping on tofu. But I feel
like when you add it into meals, it's good and
it's a good way to get protein.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I do agree with you. That's like a great way
to get protein, especially because there's very limited options.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, it's tough.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Of all the things that you could probably find, that's
the top one. But dang, I mean, maybe you just
got to send me some recipes and I gotta try something.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I feel like if you throw it in the air fryer,
you might like it. I mean, yeah, anything.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, it's kind of hard to not like anything in
the air fryer.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It's also being a vegan or vegetarian, you kind of
have to take what is available. Like I'm at that
point where I go out to eat and there's usually
one option and you can't be picky at that point.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's true, And I feel like being a vegan makes
that even harder because at least vegetarian, I can have
cheese in my dishes, which there are more vegetarian options,
I feel like than vegan options.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, and then.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
There's even less gluten free options. It just like kind
of trickles down. But mostly when I eat out, it's
like grilled cheese mac and cheese cheese quesadilla. So like
it makes sense that you had to like utilize it else, Okay,
any other ways that you do or is tofu like
the main that is.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
The main one. There are lots of different ways to
get because I need I look at food as fuel
and as much as I run, I need just things
that fuel my body. Tofu is one of them. But
I also eat like a lot of beans and rice
and just like avocado like stuff that's just high in fat.
So it's good for you or you know, carbs that
are essential to your body. I know when I was
like losing weight, it was like, oh, they're the enemy,

(06:52):
but your body needs them to run into function.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
That's fair. I mean, yeah, you're really good at clean eating,
Like I need to page from your book. So sometimes
I'll get like, like I do really good and most
of the time, and then like if my life gets
busy and things get crazy, I'm like, let me just
pull poor a little bowl of cereal because the rest
of that seems very daunting to do right now. So yeah,
I mean mostly mine is a lot of protein shakes.

(07:17):
Like I I did find a protein I really loved.
It's gluten free and it's like three ingredients like super
natural ingredients versus some of the others that don't you know,
they have a whole lot in them. So I put
that in like my asi E bowls, and I make
protein asi E bowls. And I also like making those
little like oatmeal balls, little protein balls.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I would make those if I had more time, If
I had the time, or like.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, see, this is what I'm saying. When I like
actually have the time to make all of these things,
that's this is what I do, but most of the
time it ends up being a bowl of cereal because
that's my life. I do also add peas into a
lot of things, like I love green peas and surprisingly
really high in protein. Most peas are like chickpeas are two.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, I guess that my protein powder has pea protein.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, so peas are really high in protein and so
like if I make a like a gluten free pasta dish,
I always add peace to it, and that's kind of
like my added protein into that. I also eat a
lot of cottage cheese, which wouldn't be an option for you,
but like cottage cheese, like some people would make like steak,
vegetables and potatoes, right, well, I make green beans, potatoes,
and cottage cheese, so like cottage cheese is my protein

(08:25):
in that instant, So it is kind of weird. I
do have like some weird looking meals when somebody like
looked from the outside in. But I might just need
to finally bite the bullet and find a way to
get on the tofood train. Okay. I had this debate
with my sister because we share a streaming service and
her and our fiance love using closed captions on everything

(08:47):
like they cannot watch things without closed captions. I am
the other side, where it literally bothers me to have
it on screen. I hate it. And we may have
talked about this before. I don't know. I feel like
I have a lot of day java a lot of
the time, but I'm wondering are you a close caption
person or a not? Because I feel like you are
team one or team two. There's no one between.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Primarily I am not. I don't mind them, though, because
some shows are just hard to hear. That's fair. The
dialogue is low, and when I'm having to pay attention
to something a lot, I don't mind throwing them on.
But for the most part, I don't like looking at
the words on the screen.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Does it distract you too? Like? Does it bother you?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
It doesn't distract me. I'm just like very particular on
seeing it how it was intended to be seen, and
whenever you add letters down there, unless it's a foreign film,
I don't really like the aesthetic of it.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, that's true. You know. The only time I've ever
actually turned on on purpose close captioning is for Star
Wars movies because some of the characters have different languages.
And I'm like, wait, are they close captioning it? And
I don't know, but then they never do.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Sometimes when I'm watching something really complex like Star Wars
or Game of Thrones, it helps because learning people's names
when there's so many characters, being able to see it
written helps a lot.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
That is probably true, and that's why I think she
was making the case like they always had to have
it on. But I do feel like you are either
like you love it and it's always on, or you
hate it and it's never on.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
If it's something like really intense that I'm paying attention
to and the plot line is just maybe a little
bit more complex, I'll throw them on just so it
makes me focus and pay attention. But complete opposite if
I'm watching like a comedy where you don't need to
pay attention to that, I don't need subtitles.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Okay, well you debunked my theory because you are in
the middle, you go either way. Dang theory done. Okay,
So I also brought to the show this week. We
were talking about how my smell has been gone since
COVID and I shared the results of the massage that
I got done, which was great news. By the way,
if you have lost your smell to covid or for
any reason, like, you'll want to go to the best bits,

(10:43):
just the bits and listen to this because it may
be a solution for you. I hope it is. But
that was actually not what I wanted to talk about.
I wanted to tell you about some dating stuff going on.
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah? I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Okay. So I can't tell if it's because my phone
is a less to me and it feels sad for me.
But Mike, I got an email the other day that like,
it was like, oh, no dates for you tonight, grab
a cookie, And I was like, wait, excuse me. I
felt like that was intended for me. Interesting, right, Like

(11:17):
it was an email marketing and you would think that
it's like going out to everyone. Yeah, And I'm like, well,
isn't it like more of the majority not single? I
don't know, maybe one is more than the other and
maybe that's why they did that. But I felt very
targeted by an email marketing ad. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
I feel like that's connected to a dating app's right.
It reads your data that you don't have anything going
on in a particular night, and then it sends the email.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I mean it has to be right, or like it's
listening to me to feel sorry.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
For me because I'm not getting that email right.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
And it was like a cook I'm like, well, yeah,
I want a cookie now because I don't have a
date tonight. Thank you, But like dang targeted and I
felt very violated. It's the right word. Has that ever
happened to you? With like any type of email marketing.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
I do get oddly specific email because I feel like
every single app you open it just knows, so it'll
automatically send like anything you're looking at, like, oh you
should get this my Yeah, my emails are pretty specific
to be too. But ok although my Facebook, since I
don't have that I'm in a relationship, it still thinks
I'm single on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
So Facebook is really throwing off.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Facebook is like recommending a dating app every like month
or so, like hey there's someone out there for you, Mike,
and like, I'm good. I just don't want to put
that I'm in a relationship on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's funny. That is funny. Okay, well it doesn't make
me feel as bad. Then at least they're like targeting
to everybode. So it's just like they really took the
low blow shot.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, so kind of rude.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
That was one of them. And then one of my
friends went out on a date with a guy. Tell
me if you were like in the reverse scenario of this,
how you would feel. And right after the first date
it went good, like she said, she had a good time,
but she ended up getting a message from him later
that night and he asked her to collaborate with him
on his Pinterest wedding board. Interesting, Like, I think it's

(13:03):
awesome if guys have that, I think that's really cool.
But after the first date, you're inviting a girl to
like collaborate, meaning like to add stuff to add and
to make edits to it, and like see it all
the time.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
For what purpose?

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Right, Like unless you're planning a wedding or like, I
don't even know. I feel like you could still share it.
I don't know. But he shared it with her, And
I've never heard of anybody doing this before, girls or guys,
And I'm just like so curious how you would have
responded in that scenario.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I wouldn't even do that if I was back when I.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Was engaged, right, But like if a girl sent you that,
wouldn't you be like him running for the hills.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Yeah, I think I'd be out because, like, I feel like.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
The reverse is the same, doesn't Like Like I said,
I think it's cool if a guy has a Pinterest board,
if he has things that he's interested in he wants
to keep.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Tracking me is fine.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, it's not that. It's that he has this wedding
board that he collaborate and the best part of all,
she didn't accept it right and they didn't go out
on another date. Well like a week later, she just
happened to look at it again. A new girl was
collaborating with him on it. This is like his thing.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Maybe he's like so dead said on like, I'm going
to find the one and I'm not screwing around. So
if you're not down for this Pinter's board, you're not
going to be down and get married. So I'm out.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I mean, listen, I think it's one thing to be
fully committed. Like I love that, that's my energy.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, I mean I feel some people go into dating
like just trying to find the person they're going to
marry and they don't want to screw around.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
That's fair, But like I'm like that and I don't
send anybody a wedding pintress board, you know what I mean. Yeah,
I feel like that's that's taken into stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
May have a really quick timeline.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Really quick timeline. And then somebody asked in the in
the Q and A that we didn't get to was
just how is dating going and if I have any
deal breakers in dating? So I don't necessarily, like have
any updates. Since I last talked about it on the show,
I haven't gone out on any dates. I deleted my
dating enoughs again. I can't go through these levels where

(15:03):
I like, have him for a while and then I
just delete them all right now I'm in, then delete
it at all. I'm just hoping for the best. Maybe
he comes to my door while I'm watching Netflix. That's
the goal. But deal breakers in dating, I don't know.
Do you feel like I should have some really strong ones, Mike.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
I feel like you need to get away with deal breakers.
I feel like that keeps people from taking risks and
like exploring all the avenues of dating.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean, I think a deal break here would be
them being a felon. True, that's a pretty solid one.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
That is a good risk not to take.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
I think I'm good on there.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
I just feel like I think about when I was dating.
I feel like I would be on so many deal
breaker lists that I feel bad for the guys of like,
oh he's not this height, that's a deal breaker, and
you're missing out on somebody just because they're not exactly
what you picture.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
That's true, I don't think. I I guess I'm thinking
more of like the superficial one, the physical ones, than like, yeah,
he has a criminal record.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Fond deal breakers. That's just like I don't even want
to be around as human in normal life.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think. I mean, I
don't have a height limitation because I'm five foot tall.
It's not hard to be taller than me, so that
doesn't bother me. I do tend to lean. I think
I want somebody who has hair, Like I'm not against it,
but I do lean that way. I love like a
full head of hair. I don't know. I don't know why.
It's a really weird thing. My dad is bald, so

(16:35):
I don't know if I has something to do with that.
He always jokes that it does. But I'm not against
that either way, Like it's not a deal breaker per se. Yeah,
I don't think there's like any physical ones. I just
like want to be attracted to them, So that could
come in multiple different forms. Yeah, I've never really had
a type. You could say. Bobby sometimes says that I

(16:56):
do that was like athletic or like workout. That's probably true.
I do lean into that a little bit, mostly because
I do. I think that's why I want that. It's
like I work out every day, so hopefully they do. Yeah,
I don't at this moment. I don't feel like there is,
like unless they're a bad person, Like if they're mean
to animals or they're bad to service people, those are

(17:18):
those are deal breakers. If they okay, this is a
pretty intense one. If they are pretty misogynistic, that's a
deal breaker. Like if they're just so aggressively in their
opinion about how they feel about certain things, that's that's
pretty intense for me. Like I feel like I'm a

(17:38):
very open minded person. So somebody has to balance that
out and not be the opposite extreme, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, I get that.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I feel like those will be the only ones. Anything
else you think I should add that isn't physical.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, I'm trying to think physical one.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, I know, I know because I feel like a
non physical ones. There's a lot, right you just hope
people are good people, but this is all I really
don't like. Yeah, head of hair, I.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Guess I'm just trying to get you through that first
date of like deal breakers. I feel like it's like
not giving people a chance after that first one, thinking
I do this and I'm out. Yeah, it's like a
I feel bad for. I'm just thinking of the guys
I feel bad for, even girls that I feel bad.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
I do get the ick early. Sometimes it's not intentional.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Either, like he can't control it.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
It's more that like I think what happens Mike is
like I'll go out on dates and I'm just like,
I don't want to spend fifty years of my life
with you, and I don't know why, but I just
know that I don't. I think that's what happens. And
then I find something to be like, oh, that's an ick,
you know what I mean, Like there's an inklean that happens,
Like I have a gut feeling and I'm just like no,

(18:48):
But then I find something that like allows me to
explain it away instead of it just being like gut
feeling no, you're not the right person for me. I
think that's what happens. Sometimes my ick just comes up
and I'm like, that's weird thing to have any about.
But here we are. Oh so yeah, that's the update
on dating life. We get some more things to dive
into coming up next right after this little mini break,

(19:11):
Mike d maybe getting a new tattoo.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yes, done and done. There's some rules though, some rules will.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Be right back. So a couple of weeks ago the show,
I'll pitch something to get everybody invested into and buy into.
I'm just gonna say to you, Mike that I really
felt like my ice cream bike was a good idea
and we would have made a lot of money off
of it. There's people on TikTok with ice cream bikes

(19:38):
that are making like twenty thousand dollars a month. That's
all my last bitch. I feel like it would it
would have been great and created a whole heck ton
of bits out of it, which is really what I
was trying to find. But that's okay, next time. Next
time we did. We did talk about some other show investments,
and we got an update this week on the palette
that Lunchbox got everybody to buy into I still don't

(20:00):
know how he manages to keep getting people to invest
into him.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, we get like blind that the fact that it's Lunchbox.
Oh yeah, oh wait, Ne're mighty serble.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
I think I'm like one of the only ones that
did not invest in that because I was like, no,
I've seen how this happens.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I regret getting into it. I bought into the hype
and I'm like, oh man, this is dumb. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I've tried to like really resist my hype. When it
happens in three I'm like, no, no, no, Yours is the
only one I invested in because I was like that
one makes sense that one. I can get behind him
not losing a lot of money. This is fine. Lunchbox
not so much. You never know what's going to happen
with him. But I want to talk about something. You
said you have a new hobby. What's going on?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I am like full on into collecting comics. I've been
trying to find a hobby that's not work because everything
that I've had a hobby, I've turned it into work. Somehow,
writing jokes turned that into work. Movies I still love them,
but at times they feel like work having to go
see a new movie and review and talk about it.
But I found one that is just it's completely separate.

(20:56):
I have fun doing it. And collecting comics is just
like so it's kind of into it as a kid,
but never really like looked up which comics are like
worth more, and never really went to a comic shop.
And now for the last few months, I've been so
dialed into it, like I wake up thin get about
comic books now, so I'm like go into comic book stores.
I'm trying to go to ones in like different cities

(21:18):
because I'm on the quest for like one specific comic.
I'm trying to find this comic that Secret Wars A.
It's a Marvel comic and it's the first time you
ever see Spider Man in the black Spider Man suit. Okay,
and it's like a pretty rare comic because it's from
back in the day, in like the sixties.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Okay. So let me ask you this the cop correction.
If I'm wrong with comic books, they those were what
started all of this, right, and the movies are made
off of the comic books.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah. Correct. When it comes to Marvel, they were started
back in like the forties and fifties. Spider Man came
out in the sixties, and all of the characters are
all they all tie back to the comics and some
of the storylines to go back to the comic book.
It's kind of like the source material for all the movies.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Okay, And so is there characters in those comic books
that we don't ever see or have seen before?

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, there's yeah, that's what I'm finding out too. There's
a lot of characters, especially a lot of villains that
haven't been any any movie yet, and it's kind of
cool getting to see how they play into everything. And
it's also cool seeing like the characters that people had
been wanting to see it for a long time and
seeing why they are such a big presence in the
comic books and how, you know, how they differ from

(22:29):
the comics to the movies.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
I just have so many questions on this. So the
Marvel would all be stan Lee right.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
For the most part. He created a lot of them.
He didn't draw them, but he created a lot of
the stories. There was another There's a famous artist named
Jack Kirby who is credited with designing a lot of
the characters like Spider Man. There's also this big debate
on who actually creates the characters. Is the one who
creates the story or is the one who actually drew it?
So a lot of people fifty, right, stan Lee gets

(22:57):
a lot of the credit because he is kind of
the marvel.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Like, well, the character, the drawings of the characters wouldn't
exist without the character being created, yea, So like the
initial creator is stan Lee.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, and then but some people say it's the person
who actually drew it, and they think that the artists
didn't get the fair share of it. They didn't get
the more. There's a whole debate when it comes to
the nerdom of this.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Is and how long are like each comic book.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
I could read one in probably like ten to fifteen minutes.
I think they're like twenty twenty five pages somewhere longer.
And I just like reading them because I think a
lot of people collect them and don't even read them,
because it's kind of the quest of like finding rare comics.
But my rule is that I have to read every
single one that.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I buy because it is that's worth it.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, it because you buy it and then you read it.
That's what they were intended to do. I there are
some that are a little bit more valuable than I
read them, and I'm like very careful with them, but
I have to read them.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
All Okay, all right, So comic books are the new
hobby I like it for you. How many are we
on so far?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Ooh, I don't even know how many. I I would
say probably thirty or so.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
You're on thirty so far you've gone like you've bought.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
Thirty Yeah, maybe thirty, because every time I've gone so far,
I spend about thirty bucks on a visit. Each one
varies in price. Some are like fifty cents, some are
like ten to fifteen bucks, and the most expensive when
I got was twenty bucks.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Okay, so no, like rare, really rare fines. I feel
like they'd be like hundreds.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, there's some that I've seen that are really expensive, okay,
even on the lower And there was one I was
thinking about getting. It was forty bucks. But I also
saw some that were like five hundred, one thousand bucks.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Okay, all right, this could be an expensive hobby that
you could take. Is also what has driven the tattoo
potential possibility.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, so that one comic. I'm looking for that Secret
Wars eight. If I find that comic, I am going
to get that coverage tattooed.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Okay, I need to look this up now, can you
just start describing.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Yeah, So it's basically the it's a like a red comic,
and at the very front of it, it's Spider Man
in this stance and he's in the black suit where
he kind of looks like Venom.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
I see it.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
So I've always wanted a Spider Man tattoo tattoo throughout
my entire life because he's my favorite superhero, and I
always lean towards liking the black suit the best, just
because I love the storyline of him, you know, getting
the Cymbiote suit, and I was like, I want I
also just like solid black tattoos. The other one I
have is solid black, so I just think that that

(25:33):
would compliment my other one. Now, I would get it
on the opposite arm, same placement.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
And kind of large or small.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Like at the same size as the one I have.
Now it's just on the other side. Yeah, it's pretty
much the whole bicep area.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
The rule is I can't buy it online.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
I was gonna say I see it online for three
hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Because I could go buy it online, but I feel
like that's cheating. I want that moment like in Willy
Wonka when Charlie finds the Golden ticket of finding it
in store. Okay, So I can't. I can like see
it online that it's for sale in a city somewhere
and drive there. That's fair, But I can't order it
online because I feel like that's cheating. Because I'm on
this quest to find it in the wild.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
I mean you are, like you are finding this is
like truly a special auditioning because there's only two that
I'm seeing for sale right now on eBay ones two
ninety five and one's seven eighty nine.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, they get expensive. That's That's the other thing. That's
the other kind of problem I'm gonna have is when
I do find it, like are you how much is
it going to cost? And what the debate will be
like what is too much? Because I haven't gotten to that.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Part yet, And are you do you have like an
end date on this, like if it doesn't happen, like
would you still get a tattoo?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I'm looking to find it in like a year.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
And if you don't, then you'd get the tattoo, or
you wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I'm not gonna get it, and it's not meant to be.
Because I've been back and forth on getting the tattoo.
I was so close to actually like booking the appointment
and getting it, and then I was trying to aside
what I wanted to get and I had this whole
vision board of all these designs and I landed on
that one. And at the same time, I was getting
into collecting comics and realized that this was the comic

(27:10):
I've been wanting to find. And I was like, Okay,
if I find it, that's the sign to get that tattoo.

Speaker 2 (27:15):
Oh, so you're falling with signs now. You're really get
influenced by Amy, aren't you.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, if I find it, it's a sign to get it.
If I don't find it, it wasn't meant to be.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
It's fair. It's fair. I get it. I get the
cosmic connection of everything and it being a purpose for something.
So I like it so interesting. I'm like, so curious
about comic books. I don't I don't think I could
get into comic books, but I'm always curious about them.
I see people collecting them and spending a lot of
money on them.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I think it's just the process of finding them is
the more excitement.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Like it's a scavenger Hume.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yeah, it's like finding something rare. And also the ones
I'm focused on, I kind of learned from TikTok that
you should focus on one character otherwise you get to
go crazy buying so many different comics. So I am
focusing primarily on Spider Man. But the other thing I'm
trying to find is like the first issues or like
the first time characters appear in comics, which I feel

(28:05):
is like the most significant what like collectors actually go for.
So I'm also looking for those. And there's also like
replicas of classic comics that I'm also collecting, so like
the first Batman, the first Superman, all those kind of
classic comics because I just think it's kind of cool
to have those and to read those and to see
when those characters actually debuted.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Well, and replicas aren't as expensive as their original.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
No, I've got one for like six bucks of like
the first ever Superman and Batman.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Okay, I was like, you finally choose a hobby and
you really done yourself.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
It's relatively cheap, except when you're going for those collectors items.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Okay, good deal. Well I'm happy for you that you
found a hobby.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
I think that was one of your goals the last
time you were on.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
There, you got to find a hobby.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
And in the month and a half span, you've done
that and you've collected thirty of them already.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah. I went a little too hard. I went to
Cincinnati and there was a small, like just bookstore, and
I was just surprised that they had so many and
they were only like a dollar fifty each, So I
just loaded up. You went a little crazy, Yeah, I
was like, all right, that was probably want to look
too hard there.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Sometimes you just get excited, though it's all learning lesson
when you have a hobby too.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
I also felt like I was supporting local. And the
bookstore was the Ohio Bookstore. It was owned like this cute,
little like elderly couple, and they were so nice and
they were like took so much pride in their bookstore
that I wanted to give them all the business.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
That's fair, but it's also a good story to tell yourself.
Whatever makes you feel better. But I totally get it.
That's awesome. Well, we also did have Brothers Osborne stop
in the studio that is not a hobby but that
is a real artist group, and they talked about their
new album. They made me think about this TikTok that
I recently saw from justin Timberlake. I don't know if

(29:49):
you've happened to see all the resurgence of in scene
happening because of the VMA's, but justin Timberlake posted a
TikTok in response. So a girl asked, what's the word
you pronounced wrong and it still haunts you to this day?
And he stitches it and he responds me, but he
says may because he pronounced it wrong. Oh yeah, and
he's become this massive meme which most people may know

(30:10):
is gonna be May is the meme. So I want
to know, like, what is the saw the word that
you have pronounced? Maybe it was one time, maybe it's
constantly and it still haunts you.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
The one that my wife still brings up is I
think it was a trip where she flew out to
La to come see me, and we went to go
eat lunch and I ordered a poke bowl. But it's
a poke bowl and I didn't know. I never ordered
the thing, and I was like, oh, I'll take the
poke bowl, and the waitress corrected me. He was like,
you mean the poke bowl? And it made me feel

(30:42):
so dumb. And then my wife keeps bringing it up
all the time and mean like and then when you
ordered a poke bowl, so that one still haunts me
just because it keeps coming up.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Would you have preferred the waitress to not correct you?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, just like let it just let me order it.
Just don't say anything. You know what I'm ordering, You
don't need to correct me.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I have a feeling it might have been like a
visceral reaction. It wasn't like an.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
It was like a condescending like, oh you mean the
poke bowl, you idiot.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, it kind of sounded like she did that a
little well, but I don't think she meant it like
I think she But you know, I know, I know.
I have a feeling it's the same thing like.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
If you go to Starbucks and you order the large
when it's you know, the venty, like you know what
I'm ordering? Like, oh, you mean a venty? You know
you already know what it is. If you're wasting time here,
that's fair.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
You're not wrong, but I do think it's like a
visceral reaction instead of a judgment. Waitress, No, you're like
revenge store. Now, that's funny. But you say it.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Correct now right when I remember.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Yeah, I feel like I have questioned myself.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I'm like, okay, Pokemon poke bowl, Okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Poke, But so but you've been saying Pokemon right the
whole time. Yeah, maybe you just didn't put two and
two together that it'd be the same.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Yeah, that can be.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
It has, I mean, technically by itself, it is a
word poke.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yeah, it's poke.

Speaker 2 (31:58):
So I'm on team Mike. I am here. That's a
good one. I have one, and well I have two.
One that everybody knows is Italian. And I've gotten crap
for that ever since I joined the show, and ever
since I said that on air one time, I have
been trying to actively do better and say Italian and
trying to like but it's like you like, before it

(32:19):
comes out of my mouth. It's almost like I'll be
saying a sentence and I just have a pause and
I'm like Italian. It's not like I can just complain
a sentence with it. So that one still haunts me.
But the main one that haunts me is when I
was in high school and I was putting together a
resume for working at Buffalo Wild Wings, and I came
to my mom and I was like asking all these
questions about it, and I called it a razoom. I

(32:43):
did not know it was a resume. And my family
still to this day, at least once a year brings
up that word that I've pronounced wrong. I never heard
it before. I didn't even know what it was. I
was learning, this is my first job that I was getting,
and I said, I really need help putting together a razoom.
So that one haunts me with my family. Italian haunts
me literally all over the United States. So does that

(33:07):
help a little bit.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, that's a good I mean yeah, if you just
look at it spelled rezoom, it is.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Who knew that the little accent actually matters? I did not. Okay, well,
now that we've made ourselves vulnerable, we're gonna take one
more quick little break.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Okay, well resume after this.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Dang it? All right, I'm gonna poke you.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
We're all super excited for Abby around here. She released
her new song and it broke the top one hundred,
but we're moving in ride into the number one spot
because I have a quiz for Mike, all right, and
I'm ready for it. We did have the number one
spot is need to Breathe? Which great performance? Did you
love having them in studio?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Awesome?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
It was so great, So make sure you check that
out on YouTube. And their interview was really good too.
And I love big fan of Judah and the Lion Like.
They have always been on my workout playlist for like
the last several years, and so getting to see him
in the studio was really cool. I really like them.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
That song again to my writing playlist.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
To take it All Back. Oh, it's so good. But
they also have more like more in that same vibe.
So if you need like you can honestly make a
whole playlist out of their music and run to it.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Madam today, Yeah, I got to.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, here's the deal. I'm gonna quiz you on fictional
couples in movies, okay, and see if you can name
the movie. And it's very possible that Mike is just
really great at movies and knows all of them. It's
also possible that he saw my prep and he knows
the answers.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Yeah, oh, I'll go and blind.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
They're not very hard though, So I really like when
I had pitched this segment for the air, it was
really like for like Lunchbox to do because I knew
he couldn't get any of them. But I just want
to see how common some of these are, like, because
I think you know all of them, but I could
be wrong.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Okay, so we've got an easy one to start. Peter
Parker and MJ.

Speaker 1 (34:53):

That's your guy, Rapunzel and Flynn.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Punzel.

Yeah, what movie is it from?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
And it's not the Disney Rapunzel.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
No Punzl, Rapunzel and Flinn Rider.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I do not know.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I'll give you a hint. There's a little frog in him.
Not a frog. He's like a.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Chameleon, a frog and a chamellion.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Not a frog, just the chameleon.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, frog because like Princess and the frog.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Uhay's chamelion. He hangs out on her shoulder a lot.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Vivian Edward has me going to Twilight.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
But that's bell. I also love this because it's how
I feeled aur An easy trivia.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Okay, like Vivian and Edward and do not notice one.
I can't think of a movie, Vivian. It's probably gonna
be a wrong com that I haven't seen, So I'm
gonna going Twilight.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
It's not it's a pretty woman.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, okay, I only started you on two though. I'm
impressed that I even started you on too. I like it.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
Some of those wrong comms they just have like normal names.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
That's true, but like when you hear them together, you're like, okay, yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Hard to hear the common names and place it.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Hey, I had somebody somehow I tried Okay, I did
mess up a little bit as Harold Needs a Kidney
was actually a number two. Abby's song is at number three.
Not that it matters because if you listen to bits,
that's where you get to hear them all. But we
did have Harold on who Needs a Kidney? So if
you are up for donating a kidney, be sure to
go check that out bobby ons dot com. Really cool segment.

(37:30):
Some people did ask I have I have an animal
segment a little carved out right here. Somebody asked about
some of the training work I do with Remy for therapy,
so if you want to get your dog as a
therapy animal, just literally what I did was like google
therapy organizations. What happened with mine was we went and

(37:51):
did a pre evaluation, determined we're a good candidate, and
then we went through six weeks of training and then
we had to take an evaluation like a legit one.
We had to pass that test. So a lot of
stuff went into us becoming a therapy animal team and
a lot of training, but romy is definitely a natural
for it. She's a really good dog and loves people.
So that was like all the work that we did

(38:12):
for us to become a therapy animal team, and now
we volunteer several times a month at a retirement home
and like a memory care facility, and then we also
go to hospitals. We're going to a mental health festival
coming up. We have another like hospital visit that we're doing.
So it's like as much or as little as you'd

(38:33):
like to do with them, but that is something that
Remy and I do and you guys have. I always
get a lot of questions about that training and stuff.
So but we always need more therapy animal teams. So
if you're willing to do it and put in the time,
please do it. Like people love it. I can't tell
you enough how much people think us when we're in
the retirement homes. They're just really thankful to have visitors

(38:53):
dogs particularly, but visitors in general. So all that to say,
the reason I even bring up animals because apparently Mike
d got attacked by one.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
You're attacked by an owl?

Speaker 2 (39:04):
What happened?

Speaker 1 (39:05):
I went on a run when I was in Texas,
and I went kind of early in the morning because
they were having like one hundred degree days. So if
you didn't go by like six am, you weren't going
because it'd be too hot. And then I go on
this trail that I've been on before and apparently there
are owls there. And as I was running, it was
like maybe six thirty in the morning, so the sun

(39:27):
wasn't fully out, so I guess owls are still out.
I didn't even hear the thing, but I was running
and I felt like, you know when somebody like throws
a dodgeball at you and you kind of it doesn't
hit you, but it goes like over your head and
you feel like that, like the whiff of air withf
of air. I felt that and looked up and just
saw these giant wings like going right over me, and
it was an owl. And then as I'm running I

(39:48):
realized that. I was like, oh crap, it's an owl.
That's crazy. The owl lands on a branch and then
looks at me and we're just making eye contact and
it looks so majestic. I always think I love owls
because they're so like.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
They are real.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Maybe they're nocturnal. They're beautiful, but when you're encountering one
in a while, it's kind of crazy that it swiped
at me. But then we made the eye contact. I
kept running, didn't think anything of it, and then the
owl came at me again and like clawed me in
the head.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Wait, like, so the first time it was intentional, it
was oh yeah, accidentally yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I thought at first that it was just like flying,
and it happened to fly by me and then landed there.
And then I quickly realized that it was trying to
get me.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
Why do you think I was trying to get you?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
I have some theories. Okay, it clawed my head and
tried to take off my hat because I was wearing
a white hat, and then I was like, oh crap,
and out of nowhere, I just yelled. I was like,
I'm not an animal, bro, Like, that's the first thing
that I came to me. And I just took off running,
thinking it was going to come down again. And then
I ran that way down the trail, and I was

(40:51):
supposed to come back the same way. I just went
a completely different way because I didn't want to encounter
it again. And then I looked it up later and
apparently this has happened to other people in the United
States who run early in the morning, because it only
happens if an owl feels threatened and you threatened it apparently,
because I also went back the next day. But they
will attack if they feel threatened, particularly if they have

(41:14):
like their nest and there, and that's why when I
went back the next day, I noticed that there was
like a nest there, like right where I was. So
maybe they thought I was like an animal threat maybe
the white from my hat was like it looked like something,
and then they attacked me.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
It was a mama oul about to like go after her.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Yeah, And then afterwards I was just it was just
this weird thought of like the owl like saw me
coming down and like was like scoping me out of
like a weird feeling that you're being watched. Yeah, I
was being watched by this animal.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
And then you're be watching every angle because they can
turn their head three hundred and.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Then I looked in my hat afterwards and there was
like these two little marks where you could see like
the towel and just kind of like got into my
head a little bit.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
That's like it was grabbing you. It wasn't even you
like a warning shot to Yeah, Okay, what kind of
owl do you think it was?

Speaker 1 (42:06):
I think I looked it up. It was a barred.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
Owl okay, barred out or a barn owl barred a bard?
Oh yeah, I see it. I see the different one.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Oh yeah, that's what it was.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
It was was like white coloring on it.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yeah. It maybe it looks a little bit darker than
the one that comes up on the first Google search. Yeah,
but those are the ones that happen to be in
like North Texas, which is where I was, and they,
you know.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Owls are so cool, like their faces and stuff. They
are like such cool creatures and you don't see them
a lot.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah. I think that's why I like. Seeing one, like
in person in front of you is just like cool
to see. But then when one attacks you, you kind
of change.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, not anymore. Huh.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Yeah. I've had like bad issues with birds.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Maybe it's your hair being a darker color. Maybe they
think it's something they can use for a.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Ness because I remember when I used to I used
to walk Bobby's dog, Dusty, and I would take him
out and there was a bird that would attack us both.
It would come at me, peck me in the head,
and then it would come down and peck him and
we were like, we gotta get out of here.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
What kind of was it a crow or.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
I don't know what it was. It was just some
annoying bird that.

Speaker 2 (43:08):
Just didn't have like like a scent that we can't smell.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I feel like I have something like.

Speaker 2 (43:13):
That they can smell on it if for whatever reason
feels like alarming to them.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Because then chickens as a kid also scared the crap
out of me. Chickens, Yeah, because in Mexico there were
so many chickens and they would chase me.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Why would why would they chase your chickens chase anybody
in Mexico they do Like geese do. I've seen geese go.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
Chick Mexican chickens will chase you.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
So yeah, I've just not had you.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Maybe you were a bird in a former life and
you still have the scent of that bird, and maybe
it was a really mean bird.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
I mean, that's like all I got. That's the only
logical exclamation I have, because that's a lot of bird encounters.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah, me and birds has just not been good.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
They just say you will never be owning a pet.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
Bird, no, no chance.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
But maybe that's how you get on their good side.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
To own one. No, they probably hate the times that
I ate birds. I'm sorry chicken.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
For a second there, I was like thinking like an
owl and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Wait, what, well I did owl before I got there.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
I was so confused. And then yeah, flightless birds, Okay,
I'm a little rabbit holder. For a second that I
was like, wait, you eat birds, I wasn't thinking about chickens. Okay.
So one more thing before we leave. Is there anything
that you can think of and I'll let you think
on it that you feel like you've gone too far?

(44:36):
And I'm asking this because I started playing a game
that I really love. It's called travel Town. It's like
a elevated matching game and it's really fun and I
got really attached to it. And now I am part
of a Facebook trading club for the game. I get
some more like lightning lives to be able to keep
matching and playing. I'm such a nerd and I do

(44:59):
this online Friday and Saturday nights. And I think I've
just taken things a little too far for playing this
phone game. Uh. And I don't know if I should
feel ashamed or proud of myself.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
So yeah, what is the object of the game.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I'll show you. It's like this, So it's like a
matching game, and you basically match things together and you
get like leveled up from it, and you're trying to
build this whole town. Right now, I'm trying to build
a boat, and I have to collect all these different things,
so like you you hit these and it'll populate something
and then you match it and then it creates like

(45:34):
a new thing for you to match with something else.
So it's like a glorified matching game. Okay, But the
whole point is you have this whole map and you like,
I've already built some of my town, oh wow, and
you have all these other things to build, and each
time it's like a different like I've built a bar,
I've built like this a waterfall, I've built a boat.
Now we're on a restaurant. So like you just you're
building this whole town out essentially by matching things, and

(45:59):
but you get more live and you get more things
without having to buy them by trading on the Facebook group.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
Okay, yeah, I see the buying part is or the other.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
Yeah, and I had already started to buy things. I
was like, I can't keep doing this. This is not
this is not good for me. I can't be one
of those. I cannot buy things on a phone game,
and so I was like, well, I could trade. I
could do that, that's free, and so like I think
I maybe show like ten dollars before I talk myself
out of doing it again. And now I've joined the
Facebook group.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
So I think that's the one thing I don't like
about modern gaming, which make me may make me sound old,
but like having to buy things like in purchases, it
just seems like, yeah, earn.

Speaker 2 (46:36):
It, like I'll earn it, but like, at least let
me get to it. There are some things like you
can't even get because you have to buy them for it. Yeah,
it's stupid. So that's why I joined the face group
because I got some mad and some people were like
so far advanced. Everybody's like screenshotting their things and showing
I'm like, dang, I don't even know where that's at
in the game, Like y'all are way too far ahead.
I'm just like at the basics right now. So yeah,

(46:58):
but I think I've got a little too far with it.
Like I think I might need to delete that app
from my phone because I'm just a little too obsessed
with it. I don't know why. I don't know why
this game has attracted that from me, but yeah, that's
where I'm at right now. Did I make you think
of anything.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
In the same realm of that? I think I went
too hard into the Nintendo Switch and I.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Started, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
I got it around the time. I got it for
like a birthday present, and then I told everybody, just
give me a Nintendo Switch game. So I have like
six seven games that I haven't even played them all yet.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
That's brilliant though, honestly, Yeah, a good idea.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
Okay, So I got really into Mario Kart to where
I would be like training and looking at YouTube videos
on how to get better because I remember being so
good back in the day, And then when I played
it again, I was like, oh, everybody's gotten the significantly
better at this point.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Let me tell you my theory about Mario Kart. They
have definitely up to those computer guys, because I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Tell you write it is so hard now.

Speaker 2 (47:55):
Yeah, you could be playing by yourself and you can't win,
but like whenever you play the computers, like you could
almost always win. Now oh heck no, you're getting third place. Yeah,
like those computers, whether it's the fighter. They're like, maybe
they're real AI and they just haven't told us. Are
very competitive.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
Yeah that's tough.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Okay. So that's my theory because.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
I started out and I wasn't very good, but now
I can get first place a lot, and I'm trying
to get first and like every single race is my
goal right now. With that, and then I also got
into a Brawl, which is I thought I was going
to be really good at that game because I remember
being so fun back in the day. It is so
hard just to win one match on that that I've

(48:34):
been like looking at tips and tricks on TikTok to
try and get better at it.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Okay, remind me of Brawl. I don't think I have
ever done that one.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
It's the one where it's all the Nintendo characters and
all you do is like fight each other. So I
love Pikachu. He's the one I always try to I
try to beat people with Pikachu and I can't, so
I've been trying out different characters. My second favorite one
is probably the Young Link from Zelda. Okay, so it's
a fun game, but I was like, why am I
not better at this? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Well, and I mean, it's also that level of you're
playing it on a different board in a different system, right,
so that also changes things. But I'm with you. I
do think they've upped the games, like I think they
are making them harder. That's my theory. I could be wrong.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
I don't know. I'm just not good at it.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
No, I don't think it's you. I'm putting that out like,
I don't think it's us.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
I want to be better at Smash Bros. But it's
just like hard.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
Yeah, but like you could probably go play like the
Arcade game normally and be good at it.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Yeah, I am still good at that. I do like
going to the one in town and going to play
Marvel versus Capcom, which is my favorite arcade game as
a kid. Okay, and I'm still pretty good at that one.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
See, I am telling you, I think digitally, like, I
think they just might be AI already and they're just
not telling us.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
I feel like, since like when Nintendo or in really
gaming system, I like there was a period where I
just didn't play at all. So I feel like during
that time, they just slowly made it harder and harder.
And I'm trying to jump in at a point to
where I missed out on all these years of people
getting better and better, like growing with the game.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Yeah that's probably true too. You're probably not wrong about that. Okay,
Well we just had our nerding out minutes for sure,
and I love that for us. Yeah that was good.
But thank you for being vulnerable with me, because I
truly don't feel impressed with myself. We're gonna end it
on that note, even though it's still a high note,
because at least we found fun things to do. Right,
We're not hurting anybody. We're still having fun.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
Yeah. I have Nintendo Switch and I have comic books
now to distract my brain.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
You got hobbies for days now. The trick is not
turning either one of those into work.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah, I'm not going to you can't do that.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
I will not let you. As soon as I hear
you come out with another podcast.
