Speaker 1 (00:00):
The best bits of the week with Morgan.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Listener Q and day time.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
We're Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Happy weekend friends, it is time for Listener Q and
a Mike Deez joining me. What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I love questions, Yeah, all the.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
All the they're always about movies and I have to
like cipher through to find other ones that aren't.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That's why I love the questions.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Do you like them to be all about movies? But
there's so much more to you than just movies.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
This is what I know the most about, what I
feel the most comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's fair, but it's good to get out of your
comfort zone. And you do have many other talents and skills.
So shout out from Sierra from Saint Louis. She loves
us and the show and loves that you have a microphone.
Oh yeah, do you love that you also have a microphone? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Because I used to have to jump over and hop
on lunchboxes and it was always really awkward and then
I'd be like, I sound like I'd be out of
breath because I had to go over there. My headphones
will get stuck. So it's a lot easier just to
press a button.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Now I'd be like here, I have hello, all right.
Getting into some questions Bree in Georgia. She wants to
know have you always been so passionate about movies? If so,
how did it start.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I don't think I've always been this passion. Where I
really developed the love for movies was probably in two
thousand and seven, and that was whenever you could still
get Netflix through the mail, and my brother and I
got the cheapest possible plan you could get and we
would rent one, mail it back and then immediately get
another one. So there was like a summer where I
just spent all this time just watching so many movies,
(01:30):
like all these classics that I'd heard about but it had
never seen. Now suddenly they were all available to me.
So I think that's where I kind of developed my
passion just for loving them. And it wasn't until probably
twenty fifteen where I started to like review movies and
that became like, oh, like, this is one I want
to do all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
When did you start the podcast?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I started a podcast in twenty nineteen, so I've been
doing it a while now, and I still remember the
first ever movie review I did. It was like on
snap Chat, I reviewed Batman versus Superman. And then that
was before I even moved here to be on the show,
and Bobby was like, Hey, send me that audio and
we'll play it on the radio show. And that was
like my first ever real review and it just started
for me, Like sitting in my car reviewing things on Snapchat?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is that funny how it starts somewhere, but also cool
to see how far it's grown. Yeah, the whole podcast
about that's been going for six years.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, that's literally all I would do.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I would go to the theater, walk to my car, and
then just record like a fifteen second review, and that's
how it all built.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Are you still on Snapchat? Do you still post reviews there?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Okay, I get on it every once in a while
because that's like where some of my family only posts to,
so I'll go and see what they're up to.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Do you purchase any snacks at the movies? If so?
What she loves hearing Kelsey on your podcast. This is
from Kathy in Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I personally did not purchase any snacks there because it's
hard to find anything vegan.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't even get a drink there.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So sometimes only because it's dietary restrictions. For me, I'll
take in a snack, but my wife is all popcorn
and big drink.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Could you make movie popcorn vegan without the butter?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You could, but there it's kind of all has butter. Yeh,
I know that it's all like real butter. It's probably
like some butter products, so it'd probably not even be
real dairy.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
But I've never really liked popcorn.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Which is weird being such a big fan of movies
always because it always gets stuck in your teeth and
I could. I feel like I could eat a giant
bag of popcorn and never get full. I'm just like
chasing this, like this hunger with it, because it just
nothing changes. You just keep eating and you keep getting hungry.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It is true. It's very unfilling, and you just kind
of keep going for it. It's very addicting, Like you
just keep reaching your hand and it's like a bag
of chips. Yeah, you just keep going for it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
My go to though, is because when I had braces,
i could I couldn't even eat popcorn with braces. Yeah,
they recommended me popcorners, which is essentially like popcorn, but
in chip form and that I like just because it
has a better crunch, it doesn't get suck in your teeth.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So do you bring popcorners too? Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I do. I get my zip bloc bag and I'll
put pop quarters in there, and then during the movie.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Is that the only snack you'll bring in?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Or is that I'll also take a depending on what
time the movie is, I'll take a cold brew with me.
So I have my cannon cole brew and my bag
of popcorners.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All right, Sneaky Mike, what is your favorite go to
movie to watch if you have anything just to not
like new movies or anything, just go to movie that
you'll throw on the tv. This is from Max and Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Of all time, it is probably Twister. But right now
I'm rewatching all of the Transformers movies. Oh fun, and
they're just so I forgot how good they were, and
speaking back to two thousand and seven, that's when the
first one came out, and they just feel like a
really good time in my life. Like rewatching all those movies,
I'm reminded of how two thousands they fell and how
cutting edge they were of just combining CGI that hadn't
(04:49):
been used before.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Where they look real. It's like very like.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You can like see the metal on them, all the
big explosions. I see some things that don't age quite
as well. But those movies just take me back to
a really specific time in my life. And I just
find those movies comforting. Even though they're all kind of
the same, like the formula for each of them is
kind of the same.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I just love them.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know, whenever a Transformers movie is on TV, I
will automatically put it on. It's like easy. I love
having it on. I love those movies, and I don't
think they deserve a lot of hate that they get.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's what I remember, even watching the second one and
people hating that one. Even if you look at the
reviews for that one, they're so low.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The second one is really good too. They're all the third.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
One you lose Megan Fox. It's a little like it
kind of feel the downhillness. But even in that, I
still enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I but to me, Transformers wasn't about Megan Fox or
Shylah buff It was about the freaking Transformers. Yeah, I
was focused on I loved Bumblebee, and every time I
saw Bumblebee, I got excited that was who I was
drawn to. So when everybody would get hate for like
the actors change, I'm like, who are you paying attention
to it? They're about the Transformers and shout out my
guy Josh Samaul.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, I forgot how big of a part he was
in those movies, more so in the third one.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, he definitely like grew over it. But that was
where his hit fame for him. For actually me was
the same A Day with Tad Hamilton, which is an
old school of rom com that I loved, such a
good movie, but I feel like that's where his fame
kind of really took off. I think at the same
time he was also married to Fergy, so it might've
all been at the same time. But yeah, those are
(06:26):
great movies. And the last one, the newest one about
all the animals, the Beast or something, was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And that's kind of like what you're saying, that gets
a little bit away from the human element and focuses
more on just the transformers.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So I kind of think that's where they're going. Yeah,
but I.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Can't wait till I get to the actual Bumblebee movie
because on that one kind of like re just made
me love him again because that one, aside from like
the original one, is probably the best one.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's really good. And Hailey Steinfeld is a great actor.
I love her stuff and it was fun to watch
her with Bumblebee two. Did are we thinking of the
same one? Yeah? Okays nobody. I saw us on HBO
Max now, so I need to go watch it. That's
a different character for her boy Okay, I mean I
love Michael B. Jordan's That's why it's on my list.
(07:12):
How is your podcast going? Speaking of any exciting guests
coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's going really good.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I feel like with all the big summer movies, it's
my favorite time to do it right now. But also
what I find it's the worst when it comes to
people reviewing my reviews because I'm at a point right
now where I could go on and hate a movie
and I get the amount of hate that people who
love that movie. But I've never reviewed a movie that
(07:39):
I love that now I get hate for, which is
a new thing where it's like I really can't win
because either I love a movie that everybody hates and
people call me an idiot, or I love a movie
and people that people didn't like it it's like you're
also stupid.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's just really hard.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah. Honestly, though, the internet is a pretty dicey place
right now, what I'm noticing just picking up on I
feel like we're a little bit more intense than we've
ever been with leaving comments and saying things like out
of pocket or just nasty things for the reaction or
I feel like it's and maybe I could be wrong
(08:16):
on that, but what I'm seeing, at least in the
trend is you just have a lot more nastiness coming
out through comments in general. And so I don't know
if it's because of you loving or disliking a movie
as much as people are just getting a little bit
more spicier in their responses and commenting more.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Maybe especially on you two is probably the worst for me,
just because that's a place where people not only rip
apart what I say, but also like my physical attributes
and I'm like, oh that those are hard for me
to take.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh yeah, it's well, you're talking about movies and all
of a sudden they're throwing something.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You're like, yeah, bro.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
What But I will get like straight on like full
paragraphs that like these completely detailed things, and I'm like, man,
this is intense.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Sometimes I'll I'll type out a whole response, I'm like
never mind, and I just delete. I'm like ignore it
at morgan, and then I like walk away. And sometimes
I'll come back with something hilarious, will be like a
one liner, or I'll just have left it and I
won't go back to it.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But yeah, I'm pretty good at throwing the grenade where
it's like here's my response, I'm gonna come in and
never look back at it again. I'm like I'm gonna
I'm gonna deal with that, and then the step away.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
My boyfriend has started saying, you just need to respond.
Sounds like you need some sleep, just like that. He's like,
it's like a disc but like, you know, you're you're
not being mean, You're just like he woke up on
the wrong side.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I find the easiest way just to agree with them,
like you're right, I am an idiot, thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that gives up too much power, right, But then
they're like, I'm like on that other something, No, stand
up for yourself. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. Kaylee from Nevada Dutt wants to
know do Mike Dy and his wife want to have
kids one day?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And I think it's seeing probably videos on TikTok of
cute moments that make us want to, and then it's
seeing the opposite side of that is seeing people have
really hard situations with kids being crazy that make us.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Not want to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's like go out, never mind down, We're back down.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'd say we're probably have been talking about it more
openly than we have before, just because we kind of
feel like we're closer to our timeline that we set
probably like three or four years ago. We'd be like
here in like five or six years. So now we're
on like the maybe two years out mark. So I
think once you get to that mark, it starts to
(10:40):
feel a little bit more real.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, And as you get closer, is there a part
of you that's like, maybe, I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I think everybody has that, Yeah, just because I think
we have both valued our independence for a long time,
and we enjoy sleeping in on the weekend, we enjoy
being able to book a trip and go pretty easily,
and I think within another year we've had probably get
to that point where we've had our fill with that
(11:07):
because I can kind of start to feel that a
little bit, because I think with us, it's like sometimes
you have everything go right and you don't want to
mess up, like your routine, and you're like fun and
us just being together. But I think it's also like
me turning thirty four recently and being like on the.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Like forty being.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So close to me now it's like, I guess this
is the time to start thinking about that. And also
I'm well into the age of people having kids not
on accident, which was always the thing like growing up,
like back to when I was like in seventh or
eighth grade, like the county I lived in had like
the highest teen pregnancy rate. So it was a weird
(11:48):
transition to go from like people telling you that they're
gonna have a kid to feeling like, oh man, that's rough,
to being like now excited for them. And that's kind
of been our world for the last you know, three
to four years. My wife's best friend has a kid
who's almost a year old, so I think that's all
kind of like factoring into our decision. But I think
it's the fact that we haven't let outside pressures influence
(12:10):
our decision, like not our parents telling us, not somebody else.
We've had our own timeline that we've stuck to that
I know when we do finally decide to that, it
will feel right.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, that was a good answer. I'm really excited for
you guys. New chapters are beginning, but also just on
your own time, yeah, which is a safe and secure feeling.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The only weird thought I've had recently, which is a
weird dark thought just because that's where my brain goes,
is I start to think about, like, once you have kids,
I feel like that's your timeline ending, which is a
weird thing because I just think about like like my parents,
like whenever they had me, like my life started and
their entire like kind of world changed, And I feel
(12:54):
like there's this weird thing I can't explain where it
kind of feels like you're closing out a chapter of
you as a human and suddenly the person you create
is like spreading out and creating a whole new timeline.
I just think about, like my relationship with my parents. Hell,
there's still a part of my life, but it's it's weird.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's a weird thought.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No, I could see that because I think a lot
of people Unfortunately, their identity becomes their children, and I
think some people love that. I think some people hate that.
Depends on who you are and how you feel. But
I do think more often than not, when you have kids,
it becomes a center focus, and everything about yourself and
things before kind of gets pushed to the side unless
(13:36):
you determine a different path. So I think there's a
way that you still can have your timeline. It's just
a matter of how you choose to parent, how you
choose to involve your kids and things, and what that
looks like. But I do think there's a reality for
a lot of people where it does create this new
timeline and that's just what you're on until you kind
(13:57):
of choose otherwise. So I could see it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I guess I get into the thing of like once
you have kids, and I get into that like that
life or death situation if you could only save one
in a situation like a you're gonna save your wife
or you're gonna save your kid. Okay, well that's dark,
which it becomes more like important here.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We went really dark pos But.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Which one do you go?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Because it's like the one like your partner is the
person who's been there with you through everything, the suddenly
that relationship become more important, or as soon as you
have kids it's all kid that's the part I can't.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think how you figure out the answer to this
is talking to your wife and saying, like, how do
you feel? Because I think as long as you guys
are in alignment with what that looks like, that's where
it matters, right, Like how how does this stack up?
And maybe that conversation happens before you have kids and
it happens after they, like have our feelings and thoughts changed?
(14:52):
I think that's an important conversation to have, Not that
you ever want to be in a position of that,
but I do think it's important to be in alignment
so if you ever are in a situation, you're both prepared.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And I know that's a dark scenario, but I think
the root of the answer there is kind of what
I'm talking about about as far as like timelines and
the way just life changes. I think it all kind
of roots to that, Like which one do you pick
between the two?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And I would love to give you an answer, but
I can't, one because I haven't had that experience yet,
and two because I think that's so much individualized into
your experience and with your partner. I think it's all
a matter of the conversation you have with your wife,
genuinely is where you're going to find that answer. Which
is a weird conversation to have, but if you actually
(15:40):
want an answer, that's where it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, And I guess you don't really know until you
have a kid, and then I feel like a switch
kind of goes off and then you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's why I say have the conversation before and then
have it after. See how you guys change. It'd be
a cool intro perspective situation. We were you still in
Texas when you matched with your wife Kelsey on the
dating apps Julie in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I was here, but I was traveling to Texas a
lot at the time. That was probably in a period
of my life where I probably spent more time on
the road than I did in Nashville. So that's why
I was do you think a dating ab in a
state that I didn't live in because I was like,
I'm here so much. I come back not only for
work a lot, but also because my family was still there.
So we matched first and she did not swipe on me,
(16:29):
and then I came back again and then we that
time she did swipe on me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Invisible string theory.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It is weird in visible string beer.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
If you don't know what I'm talking about. Looking up
what have been some of your favorite dates or moments
with your wife? This is Sadie from Ohio. She's our
last question for dates.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Our first date ever was at Matt's El Rancho in Austin,
and then we recreated that on our one year anniversary
and it was total monsoon in Austin, but we were
so dead set on going there to recreate that first
debt that we.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Made it happen.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Anyway, We're like, we probably should have not gone bailed
on the idea, But I think there's always been a
connection to that restaurant, just because that's where we first met.
She was three minutes late, which I still give her
crap to for this till this day. She was like
secretly sick going into that date. She like took a
bunch of this cough medicine to get through it.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Hey, that infhysible string theory is holding strong right now.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
But it all kind of roots back to that restaurant,
so whenever we were in Austin, we try to go back.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh that's a cool memory. And I just an attachment, and.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I swore that I kept the receipt to that first
date and I could never find it again because I
wanted at some point to give it back to her,
like as an anniversary gift. Yeah, and I can never find
it because at that time, I would have to keep
a lot of receipts for work, so I'd always throw
them in my backpack and I had the zipper, and
then I could never find the receipt again. I was like,
could I call the restaurant and tell them the exact
(17:55):
time and day I was there and have them print
me a receipt?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Potentially, I mean, and they are systems and everything technically
is logged. I just don't know how far it goes back.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But yeah, that I could just fake a receipt.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, like a gift, feel like, because it's always one
of those situations where you put something special somewhere. Really
you're like, I will never forget this place, and I
put it here on purpose and then you forget the place. Yeah,
I do that, and so it is probably somewhere and
you probably put it somewhere and you just can't remember
the special place.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Yeah, and I think that backpack I had is long gone,
so it could be gone forever.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
No, Okay, Michael, thanks for joining me and answering all
the listener questions.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's Listener Q and day time.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
We're Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Happy weekend friends, it is time for Listener Q and
a Mike Deez joining me. What's up?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
I love questions, Yeah, all the.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
All the they're always about movies and I have to
like cipher through to find other ones that aren't.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That's why I love the questions.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Do you like them to be all about movies? But
there's so much more to you than just movies.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
This is what I know the most about, what I
feel the most comfortable with.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's fair, but it's good to get out of your
comfort zone. And you do have many other talents and skills.
So shout out from Sierra from Saint Louis. She loves
us and the show and loves that you have a microphone.
Oh yeah, do you love that you also have a microphone? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Because I used to have to jump over and hop
on lunchboxes and it was always really awkward and then
I'd be like, I sound like I'd be out of
breath because I had to go over there. My headphones
will get stuck. So it's a lot easier just to
press a button.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Now I'd be like here, I have hello, all right.
Getting into some questions Bree in Georgia. She wants to
know have you always been so passionate about movies? If so,
how did it start.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I don't think I've always been this passion. Where I
really developed the love for movies was probably in two
thousand and seven, and that was whenever you could still
get Netflix through the mail, and my brother and I
got the cheapest possible plan you could get and we
would rent one, mail it back and then immediately get
another one. So there was like a summer where I
just spent all this time just watching so many movies,
(01:30):
like all these classics that I'd heard about but it had
never seen. Now suddenly they were all available to me.
So I think that's where I kind of developed my
passion just for loving them. And it wasn't until probably
twenty fifteen where I started to like review movies and
that became like, oh, like, this is one I want
to do all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
When did you start the podcast?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I started a podcast in twenty nineteen, so I've been
doing it a while now, and I still remember the
first ever movie review I did. It was like on
snap Chat, I reviewed Batman versus Superman. And then that
was before I even moved here to be on the show,
and Bobby was like, Hey, send me that audio and
we'll play it on the radio show. And that was
like my first ever real review and it just started
for me, Like sitting in my car reviewing things on Snapchat?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is that funny how it starts somewhere, but also cool
to see how far it's grown. Yeah, the whole podcast
about that's been going for six years.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, that's literally all I would do.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I would go to the theater, walk to my car, and
then just record like a fifteen second review, and that's
how it all built.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Are you still on Snapchat? Do you still post reviews there?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Okay, I get on it every once in a while
because that's like where some of my family only posts to,
so I'll go and see what they're up to.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Do you purchase any snacks at the movies? If so?
What she loves hearing Kelsey on your podcast. This is
from Kathy in Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I personally did not purchase any snacks there because it's
hard to find anything vegan.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't even get a drink there.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
So sometimes only because it's dietary restrictions. For me, I'll
take in a snack, but my wife is all popcorn
and big drink.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Could you make movie popcorn vegan without the butter?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
You could, but there it's kind of all has butter. Yeh,
I know that it's all like real butter. It's probably
like some butter products, so it'd probably not even be
real dairy.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
But I've never really liked popcorn.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Which is weird being such a big fan of movies
always because it always gets stuck in your teeth and
I could. I feel like I could eat a giant
bag of popcorn and never get full. I'm just like
chasing this, like this hunger with it, because it just
nothing changes. You just keep eating and you keep getting hungry.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
It is true. It's very unfilling, and you just kind
of keep going for it. It's very addicting, Like you
just keep reaching your hand and it's like a bag
of chips. Yeah, you just keep going for it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
My go to though, is because when I had braces,
i could I couldn't even eat popcorn with braces. Yeah,
they recommended me popcorners, which is essentially like popcorn, but
in chip form and that I like just because it
has a better crunch, it doesn't get suck in your teeth.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So do you bring popcorners too? Yes?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
I do. I get my zip bloc bag and I'll
put pop quarters in there, and then during the movie.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Is that the only snack you'll bring in?
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Or is that I'll also take a depending on what
time the movie is, I'll take a cold brew with me.
So I have my cannon cole brew and my bag
of popcorners.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All right, Sneaky Mike, what is your favorite go to
movie to watch if you have anything just to not
like new movies or anything, just go to movie that
you'll throw on the tv. This is from Max and Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Of all time, it is probably Twister. But right now
I'm rewatching all of the Transformers movies. Oh fun, and
they're just so I forgot how good they were, and
speaking back to two thousand and seven, that's when the
first one came out, and they just feel like a
really good time in my life. Like rewatching all those movies,
I'm reminded of how two thousands they fell and how
cutting edge they were of just combining CGI that hadn't
(04:49):
been used before.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Where they look real. It's like very like.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You can like see the metal on them, all the
big explosions. I see some things that don't age quite
as well. But those movies just take me back to
a really specific time in my life. And I just
find those movies comforting. Even though they're all kind of
the same, like the formula for each of them is
kind of the same.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I just love them.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know, whenever a Transformers movie is on TV, I
will automatically put it on. It's like easy. I love
having it on. I love those movies, and I don't
think they deserve a lot of hate that they get.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's what I remember, even watching the second one and
people hating that one. Even if you look at the
reviews for that one, they're so low.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The second one is really good too. They're all the third.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
One you lose Megan Fox. It's a little like it
kind of feel the downhillness. But even in that, I
still enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I but to me, Transformers wasn't about Megan Fox or
Shylah buff It was about the freaking Transformers. Yeah, I
was focused on I loved Bumblebee, and every time I
saw Bumblebee, I got excited that was who I was
drawn to. So when everybody would get hate for like
the actors change, I'm like, who are you paying attention
to it? They're about the Transformers and shout out my
guy Josh Samaul.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, I forgot how big of a part he was
in those movies, more so in the third one.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, he definitely like grew over it. But that was
where his hit fame for him. For actually me was
the same A Day with Tad Hamilton, which is an
old school of rom com that I loved, such a
good movie, but I feel like that's where his fame
kind of really took off. I think at the same
time he was also married to Fergy, so it might've
all been at the same time. But yeah, those are
(06:26):
great movies. And the last one, the newest one about
all the animals, the Beast or something, was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And that's kind of like what you're saying, that gets
a little bit away from the human element and focuses
more on just the transformers.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So I kind of think that's where they're going. Yeah,
but I.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Can't wait till I get to the actual Bumblebee movie
because on that one kind of like re just made
me love him again because that one, aside from like
the original one, is probably the best one.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's really good. And Hailey Steinfeld is a great actor.
I love her stuff and it was fun to watch
her with Bumblebee two. Did are we thinking of the
same one? Yeah? Okays nobody. I saw us on HBO
Max now, so I need to go watch it. That's
a different character for her boy Okay, I mean I
love Michael B. Jordan's That's why it's on my list.
(07:12):
How is your podcast going? Speaking of any exciting guests
coming up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's going really good.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I feel like with all the big summer movies, it's
my favorite time to do it right now. But also
what I find it's the worst when it comes to
people reviewing my reviews because I'm at a point right
now where I could go on and hate a movie
and I get the amount of hate that people who
love that movie. But I've never reviewed a movie that
(07:39):
I love that now I get hate for, which is
a new thing where it's like I really can't win
because either I love a movie that everybody hates and
people call me an idiot, or I love a movie
and people that people didn't like it it's like you're
also stupid.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's just really hard.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Yeah. Honestly, though, the internet is a pretty dicey place
right now, what I'm noticing just picking up on I
feel like we're a little bit more intense than we've
ever been with leaving comments and saying things like out
of pocket or just nasty things for the reaction or
I feel like it's and maybe I could be wrong
(08:16):
on that, but what I'm seeing, at least in the
trend is you just have a lot more nastiness coming
out through comments in general. And so I don't know
if it's because of you loving or disliking a movie
as much as people are just getting a little bit
more spicier in their responses and commenting more.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Maybe especially on you two is probably the worst for me,
just because that's a place where people not only rip
apart what I say, but also like my physical attributes
and I'm like, oh that those are hard for me
to take.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh yeah, it's well, you're talking about movies and all
of a sudden they're throwing something.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You're like, yeah, bro.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
What But I will get like straight on like full
paragraphs that like these completely detailed things, and I'm like, man,
this is intense.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Sometimes I'll I'll type out a whole response, I'm like
never mind, and I just delete. I'm like ignore it
at morgan, and then I like walk away. And sometimes
I'll come back with something hilarious, will be like a
one liner, or I'll just have left it and I
won't go back to it.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But yeah, I'm pretty good at throwing the grenade where
it's like here's my response, I'm gonna come in and
never look back at it again. I'm like I'm gonna
I'm gonna deal with that, and then the step away.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
My boyfriend has started saying, you just need to respond.
Sounds like you need some sleep, just like that. He's like,
it's like a disc but like, you know, you're you're
not being mean, You're just like he woke up on
the wrong side.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I find the easiest way just to agree with them,
like you're right, I am an idiot, thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, that gives up too much power, right, But then
they're like, I'm like on that other something, No, stand
up for yourself. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. Kaylee from Nevada Dutt wants to
know do Mike Dy and his wife want to have
kids one day?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yes, we do.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
And I think it's seeing probably videos on TikTok of
cute moments that make us want to, and then it's
seeing the opposite side of that is seeing people have
really hard situations with kids being crazy that make us.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Not want to.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
It's like go out, never mind down, We're back down.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I'd say we're probably have been talking about it more
openly than we have before, just because we kind of
feel like we're closer to our timeline that we set
probably like three or four years ago. We'd be like
here in like five or six years. So now we're
on like the maybe two years out mark. So I
think once you get to that mark, it starts to
(10:40):
feel a little bit more real.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, And as you get closer, is there a part
of you that's like, maybe, I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I think everybody has that, Yeah, just because I think
we have both valued our independence for a long time,
and we enjoy sleeping in on the weekend, we enjoy
being able to book a trip and go pretty easily,
and I think within another year we've had probably get
to that point where we've had our fill with that
(11:07):
because I can kind of start to feel that a
little bit, because I think with us, it's like sometimes
you have everything go right and you don't want to
mess up, like your routine, and you're like fun and
us just being together. But I think it's also like
me turning thirty four recently and being like on the.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Like forty being.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So close to me now it's like, I guess this
is the time to start thinking about that. And also
I'm well into the age of people having kids not
on accident, which was always the thing like growing up,
like back to when I was like in seventh or
eighth grade, like the county I lived in had like
the highest teen pregnancy rate. So it was a weird
(11:48):
transition to go from like people telling you that they're
gonna have a kid to feeling like, oh man, that's rough,
to being like now excited for them. And that's kind
of been our world for the last you know, three
to four years. My wife's best friend has a kid
who's almost a year old, so I think that's all
kind of like factoring into our decision. But I think
it's the fact that we haven't let outside pressures influence
(12:10):
our decision, like not our parents telling us, not somebody else.
We've had our own timeline that we've stuck to that
I know when we do finally decide to that, it
will feel right.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Well, that was a good answer. I'm really excited for
you guys. New chapters are beginning, but also just on
your own time, yeah, which is a safe and secure feeling.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
The only weird thought I've had recently, which is a
weird dark thought just because that's where my brain goes,
is I start to think about, like, once you have kids,
I feel like that's your timeline ending, which is a
weird thing because I just think about like like my parents,
like whenever they had me, like my life started and
their entire like kind of world changed, And I feel
(12:54):
like there's this weird thing I can't explain where it
kind of feels like you're closing out a chapter of
you as a human and suddenly the person you create
is like spreading out and creating a whole new timeline.
I just think about, like my relationship with my parents. Hell,
there's still a part of my life, but it's it's weird.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's a weird thought.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
No, I could see that because I think a lot
of people Unfortunately, their identity becomes their children, and I
think some people love that. I think some people hate that.
Depends on who you are and how you feel. But
I do think more often than not, when you have kids,
it becomes a center focus, and everything about yourself and
things before kind of gets pushed to the side unless
(13:36):
you determine a different path. So I think there's a
way that you still can have your timeline. It's just
a matter of how you choose to parent, how you
choose to involve your kids and things, and what that
looks like. But I do think there's a reality for
a lot of people where it does create this new
timeline and that's just what you're on until you kind
(13:57):
of choose otherwise. So I could see it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I guess I get into the thing of like once
you have kids, and I get into that like that
life or death situation if you could only save one
in a situation like a you're gonna save your wife
or you're gonna save your kid. Okay, well that's dark,
which it becomes more like important here.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We went really dark pos But.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Which one do you go?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Because it's like the one like your partner is the
person who's been there with you through everything, the suddenly
that relationship become more important, or as soon as you
have kids it's all kid that's the part I can't.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I think how you figure out the answer to this
is talking to your wife and saying, like, how do
you feel? Because I think as long as you guys
are in alignment with what that looks like, that's where
it matters, right, Like how how does this stack up?
And maybe that conversation happens before you have kids and
it happens after they, like have our feelings and thoughts changed?
(14:52):
I think that's an important conversation to have, Not that
you ever want to be in a position of that,
but I do think it's important to be in alignment
so if you ever are in a situation, you're both prepared.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
And I know that's a dark scenario, but I think
the root of the answer there is kind of what
I'm talking about about as far as like timelines and
the way just life changes. I think it all kind
of roots to that, Like which one do you pick
between the two?
Speaker 2 (15:20):
And I would love to give you an answer, but
I can't, one because I haven't had that experience yet,
and two because I think that's so much individualized into
your experience and with your partner. I think it's all
a matter of the conversation you have with your wife,
genuinely is where you're going to find that answer. Which
is a weird conversation to have, but if you actually
(15:40):
want an answer, that's where it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, And I guess you don't really know until you
have a kid, and then I feel like a switch
kind of goes off and then you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah. Thanks.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's why I say have the conversation before and then
have it after. See how you guys change. It'd be
a cool intro perspective situation. We were you still in
Texas when you matched with your wife Kelsey on the
dating apps Julie in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I was here, but I was traveling to Texas a
lot at the time. That was probably in a period
of my life where I probably spent more time on
the road than I did in Nashville. So that's why
I was do you think a dating ab in a
state that I didn't live in because I was like,
I'm here so much. I come back not only for
work a lot, but also because my family was still there.
So we matched first and she did not swipe on me,
(16:29):
and then I came back again and then we that
time she did swipe on me.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Invisible string theory.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It is weird in visible string beer.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
If you don't know what I'm talking about. Looking up
what have been some of your favorite dates or moments
with your wife? This is Sadie from Ohio. She's our
last question for dates.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Our first date ever was at Matt's El Rancho in Austin,
and then we recreated that on our one year anniversary
and it was total monsoon in Austin, but we were
so dead set on going there to recreate that first
debt that we.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Made it happen.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Anyway, We're like, we probably should have not gone bailed
on the idea, But I think there's always been a
connection to that restaurant, just because that's where we first met.
She was three minutes late, which I still give her
crap to for this till this day. She was like
secretly sick going into that date. She like took a
bunch of this cough medicine to get through it.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Hey, that infhysible string theory is holding strong right now.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
But it all kind of roots back to that restaurant,
so whenever we were in Austin, we try to go back.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh that's a cool memory. And I just an attachment, and.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I swore that I kept the receipt to that first
date and I could never find it again because I
wanted at some point to give it back to her,
like as an anniversary gift. Yeah, and I can never find
it because at that time, I would have to keep
a lot of receipts for work, so I'd always throw
them in my backpack and I had the zipper, and
then I could never find the receipt again. I was like,
could I call the restaurant and tell them the exact
(17:55):
time and day I was there and have them print
me a receipt?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Potentially, I mean, and they are systems and everything technically
is logged. I just don't know how far it goes back.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But yeah, that I could just fake a receipt.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, like a gift, feel like, because it's always one
of those situations where you put something special somewhere. Really
you're like, I will never forget this place, and I
put it here on purpose and then you forget the place. Yeah,
I do that, and so it is probably somewhere and
you probably put it somewhere and you just can't remember
the special place.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Yeah, and I think that backpack I had is long gone,
so it could be gone forever.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
No, Okay, Michael, thanks for joining me and answering all
the listener questions.
