Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one.
I hang a thing with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's Up Everybody? In Happy twenty twenty six? Mike, do
what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
New Year?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It feels crazy because we are currently recording this in
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Five feels like the old year.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It is the old year for us, but in this
moment you're hearing this, it is a happy twenty twenty six.
What did you do for New Year's What were your
plans that you would plan to do?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
At least?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I love New Year's Day. Like New Year's Eve is
kind of like I don't really do anything. I don't drink,
so it's not really a holiday to me anymore. Used
to be, I used to party all that was like
my favorite day of the year. Really yeah, But now
New Year's Day is my favorite because you can do
nothing and there's no expectations. I think it's the best holiday.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It really is that in between right after Christmas and
those five days until New Year's in New Year's Day,
there is nothing happening. Yeah, Like there's not a single
brain cell that's a movie in my head.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
During those five days.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's that time where you forget what day of the week.
It is, you're like, what am I eating? Who cares?
And you're kind of like in that that blindness.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yep, I love in my sweat uniform.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, you see me the same outfit probably about three
or four times during that whole thing. Yep, I totally
get that. But I feel like New Year's is an
overrated holiday.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I mean, it's fun depending on what you do. Like,
if you love to party, it's a great holiday.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's true. But like I used to love to party,
and I still do.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Like I love gatherings now versus the party per se.
But I don't know something about the hype around New
Year's where you have to get all dressed up, it's
freezing cold outside, you pay an exorbitant amount of money
to go somewhere, and uber's cost a crap ton of money,
so if you are drinking, you better be prepared for that.
It's like the only way that New Year's is good
to me is if you're going to a house party.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh yeah, when I say party, I mean only house party.
I didn't really do going out partying. I'm talking about
house party, Okay. I have the best memories. Is like
getting and drinking a lot in the cold, like something
about like having a cold drink in your hand and
it also being cold out. Oh you like it, so
you're committed to it. That's fun to me.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, But maybe it's because you don't have to wear
like a tiny sparkling dress and fuels.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
That's the difference. But that's fair.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I will say we're doing a house where we did
a house party this year with a bunch of my
friends from back home, and I was really excited looking for,
like coming to that day versus normally when New Year's
I'm like, oh, I don't want to do anything. Like
last year I was at my parents' house, I did nothing.
I ate grapes under the table. Is that last year
of the year before it all blours together now?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I've stopped doing stuff because it was so overrated for me.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm also a sucker for live events, so I love
watching the New Year's Eve like countdown.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh, you watched the ball drop?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I watched like all three hours leading up to that.
Like for Thanksgiving, we watched the entire Thanksgiving baraid. I
don't know. There's something about those two holidays that just
tell me, like I need to watch the live TV
version of this, So you like.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
The live celebration, Yeah, will you watch the one from Nashville.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'll go back and forth because they'll go to commercial
at like different times, so I'll go back and forth
between the main one in the Nashville one.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, and isn't there for New Year's? Isn't there four
or five different ones?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I know there's the two main that I flip back
and forth, and I don't know if they're doing that
third one still. I remember like Miley Cyrus and Pete
Davidson hosted it one year and it went very good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, it was like it was all the major I
guess networks trying to compete with each other.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Everybody kind of had their own.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, So I don't know if they're all still doing it,
but yeah, Nashville's now want into the mix.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
They've been doing that one for quite a while though.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I like the performances.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, that they record like months ahead. That's the thing
I always like pick out. I'm like, here's the live ones.
Here's one where it's clearly July.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I know, and I get it because people have plans
on New Year's. It's not how you get the big names.
But it's funny to me because like the people that go,
I feel like they get jipped a little bit because
you think everybody's going to be there, they're not.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You get like three or four of them. Maybe.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Okay, so New Year's parties, but this year you were
low key.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Low key watching the ball drop.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's what I like to do.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Do you drink on New Year's Now?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, I am questioning whether or not I'm going to
drink on this break, okay, because I probably have had
a drink since like the first vacation this summer.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh okay, so significant break and usually I like plan
it out like I this year, I did retire the
day where I would eat everything my purge day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
For the last two years, I haven't done it, one
because I don't feel like I need it anymore, and
two because now that I'm married and we go back
and forth between families, it's hard to plan a day
for it. It was kind of more of a single
thing where I was like, I know I'm going to
be with my family on this day. I can go
buy all the food and have it for that one day.
But now it's like, we don't always know where we're
going to go and where we're going to be, and
(04:36):
I have to be like in the right state of
mind and have everything perfect in order to make that
day work. So it's harder to do now in this
phase of life. And also I just feel like I'm
kind of past it. It was kind of a thing
I put on myself early on, but I don't think
I need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, and I feel like couraged me if I'm wrong.
But now if you wanted to have something, you just
may have it, yeah, versus it was like you were
really strict on yourself up until that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, my wife is been able to convince me that
I'm not going to revert back just because I have
a couple of things here and there. But the thing
I would kind of like place an assign to that
was like, that's also going to be the day where
I drink a lot. And now I'm like, I don't
really factor that in anymore. I'm like, if I want to,
I will, but it's usually only on vacation or Christmas,
(05:20):
and I'm debating on whether or not I even want you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay, Well, then here's this question.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
When you have those things, when you've had the food
and you've had alcohol. Are you like, oh my gosh,
give me more anymore immediately, or are you okay?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That tasted good and I'm good going back.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I feel like it's not worth it anymore where I
have it, and I'm like, this isn't as fun as
I remember. Yeah, even the last time, Like my whole
favorite thing is to go to baseball games and have
beers at a baseball game just because that's like that's
comfort to me. Even the last time I did that,
I was like, this isn't as fun as I remember
to be, Like I can still have the same enjoyment
enjoyment from this not drinking.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, And I feel that same way too, Like the
hangovers just aren't worth it to me anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I think it's just more the idea of drinking that
I enjoy. Yeah, social accents, Yeah, even just having something
in your hands sometimes, like the bottle in your hand,
Like I like that feeling and like sipping on something.
But I don't think I necessarily need it to be alcohol,
Like I could just have a topo Cheico and have
the same effect I've learned.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I was gonna say, there's so many cool drinks now
that are non alcoholic. I feel like you can find
something to sip on, to hold it in your hand
and have that same feeling without the repercussions of drinking.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's also why I think more sports like venues need
to have coffee. Yeah, like I would just drink a
bunch of coffee.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, Mike, let me tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So I went to a Papa bar with my boyfriend
and he was He got an espresso martini.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
He loves those.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That's the very people love him. I've never had one.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I feel like you need to try on since you
love coffee.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Is there is there darien or is it just expresso
in alcohol?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It depends where you go.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Some it's just act. They look kind of sweet.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, so they have foam, but that's from shaking the espresso.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Ah, I got it. So it real.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Some of them could have dairy and like a creamer
in them potentially, but I've known plenty that don't and
they don't have a significant foam on them. So they're
all different and you can make them at home and
it be the same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You just have to shake it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I've learned as kind of the key ingredient to make
it look like an espresso martini.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, but he got that and I got a.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Hot apple cider because I wanted to participate, but I
wasn't really wanting to drink.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I still haven't been.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And I got a message and was like, you're having
coffee at a bar, grow up? And I was like,
excuse me, First of all, this apple cider. I can
have that at a bar, And sid of.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
All, who cares? Like, what are we really shaming drinks?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't think that's a grow up type of thing.
I think that's just your preference. Yeah, I know more
places should serve coffee for or even just have more
options that don't feel like you're just ordering like a
virgin drink, like non alcoholic options. There's a way to go,
and why not branch out half coffee?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I see, I don't see a problem with it. I
was so like offended by that. I was like, grow up,
where am I supposed to grow up to?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Not like you're having like an apple juice or like
like a kool Aid pack.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And let me tell you the appleside vinegar or not
vinegar applesider, just appleside hot apple size.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Vinegar that'd be an hardcore drink. That'd be horrible. I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I can really take a sip of apple sider vinegar
and I want to vomit.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You should, just, inspite of that person, have a Caprisa
now next time they.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Do make alcoholic precise.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It sounds delicious. The only thing I've had like that
that I worried about my health was vodka Red Bulls
the first time I went to Vegas. That was like
the end of the night thing. But it tasted amazing,
but I was not able to fall asleep that night.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh yeah, those are those I when I used to
drink a lot in college. When I wanted to stay
awake through the night, I was drinking a Red Bull
vodka about midnight.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I think, out of every flavor in the world, the
flavor of Red Bull is my favorite flavor.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's something about all the chemicals or whatever it is
they get to make a taste like that that is amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, and they have a new one. It's an apple
apple vinegar type thing. Apple and huh cider. I can't
remember ginger ginger.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That sounds like a drink.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It was apple and ginger and it was amazing. It
tastes a very fall cold weather type. So if you
like the taste, I don't know if you'd like the
taste of a flavored one, but it was bomb.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I think out of everything now, I've just convinced myself
to go get a red Bull. You can leave here,
no beer, nolco. I just want a red Bull.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So no drinking this holiday. Just some a pack of
Red Bull. You can be wired on everything for every night.
And your wife is like, what is happening?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Which does your wife drink a lot? How is that
like situation for you too?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
She likes wine? Okay, so she'll she's like, I wish
you drink wine so I could enjoy this with somebody. Yeah,
but she loves wine. And then if we go out,
she'll she likes a spicy margarita.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You know what's funny about that is I have realized
my boyfriend doesn't like to drink alone and I don't
like to eat sweets alone. So like, yeah, I could
see that there's a social aspect of both of those things.
So your wife's saying that complete makes so much sense
in my head because like if I go, say we
go get a sweet treets, especially right now, if I
find a vegan, gluten free sweet treet, I'm all about
(10:04):
it because I want to try it and I want
to curb my sweet tooth. And we'll walk into those
places and he'll look at me and say, I don't know,
I'm not feeling it, and he gets like a death
stare for me. I'm like, you're really not gonna We
went all this way and you're not gonna get one.
And he's like, I just want a few bites of
yours and I was like, no, I don't share, but
I want you to participate. And we laugh about it
because he does the same thing with drinking, like sometimes
he won't drink because I'm not, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You're fine, please have as much as you want.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'll drive. That's the best part of this. And he's like,
but it's not as fun.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
To drink by myself. So we've realized our comparisons are that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think she has drone to like it, because, like
you said, I always just drive so she can have
a drink, and I'm the one who's always going to
be sobering. I can drive exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But I do see the aspect where we're like, I
really wish I could cheer someone or like, you know,
we're in it together.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We have the little buzz.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's a partnership thing because I'm the same thing with sweets.
I want to be like, okay, well how was it?
And more than anything, I really just want to try
two different things. But I only have to buy one thing.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's really what I'm working the system.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, like you get something different, we get to share.
I digress. That's that's hard to bay. That's been happening lately.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
New Year's resolutions is what we're gonna get into next.
We're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna see
how last years went. Ones that we have coming up,
all the good stuff. All right, So first of all,
how did your New year resolution for twenty twenty five go?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It went okay. But I think that's the thing leading
me to my new resolution because last year was for
me to invest more in myself. Yeah, which I thought
I did an okay job at but I don't think
I put enough time into it.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, and invest more into yourself, meaning.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Meaning doing things that I normally wouldn't do because I
think I don't have time to do them. Whether it's
like okay, here's an opportunity where I can maybe host something,
but I have to like take time out of doing
something else and just find time for it, because that's
really hard for me to do. Like even planning a
month ahead, I'm like, what is we're going to look
like in that timeframe? Can I commit to this? So
(12:04):
it's doing things like that of like, okay, I want
to invest in myself and knowing that that could lead
me to something else I want to do in my future.
I got to make time for that and invest in myself.
It was also this past year with my teeth getting
those fixed and going through that entire process figuring out
what road I wanted to go down, how painful or
not painful I wanted it to be. That was all
(12:24):
investing in myself to just feel more confident. I think
that was probably the biggest thing that paid off last
year of I just felt better overall, and that allowed
me to just feel like, Okay, like I can do
these other things and invest in myself because now I
kind of in a weird way, felt worthy of things now,
just because that's a big part of I think even
(12:45):
the way I carry myself now is like having no
braces anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It was a confidence factor for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And I didn't realize it, like I thought the entire
time I had them, that I got used to them,
that I liked them, But it was so weird. Like
a month or maybe two more after going back and
seeing pictures of me, and I'm like, oh wow, I
looked a lot, damn it. And I just feel so
much better and more free. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, and I'm sure being an adult and doing that
as an adult also comes with its own challenges. So
you weren't just like yourself trying to work through your
confidence of what was happening. But also you're doing something
later on in life, and that always comes with its
own judgment and things, even though there shouldn't be. Somebody's
just trying to do something cool for themselves, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, I think it's hard to invest in yourself because
you feel selfish. M hmm.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's like if you get braces as a kid, it's
almost like your parents are making you. Yeah, but as
an adult, you're like, oh, I'm doing this for me.
Nobody else is making me. I don't have to. I'm
spending money on myself.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But like that's where it matters.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I feel like that's where the confidence comes from, is
when you start to really invest in yourself.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And I feel like there's this weird line that I
walk of, like wanting to invest in myself but also
not feeling like I don't like your kind of like
a little bit like conceited or something, or just like
I care about myself a little bit too much.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, everybody feels this way about like think Okay, here's
another reference on social media. Okay, I have posted like
a carousel and it was like my boyfriend takes pictures
of me, and somebody wrote.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Isn't that conceited to have pictures of you?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And I'm like, I'm sorry, Since when is like wanting
memories of myself locked into a photo a bad thing?
We look back on him, You're eighty years old, I'm
gonna look back on photos and me actually be in
the photos. Yeah, you know, I don't want to be
the one taking all of the photos. It's cool to
do that, but it's also cool to be a participant
in that. Like we love to self assign this association
(14:40):
of somebody being selfish by doing anything that's for themselves,
and that's just not the case, like somebody being selfish
is like, oh, I purposely shut the door on your
face because I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Hold it open for you. That's selfish.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Or I'm selfishly gonna take every last I don't know
freaking Christmas tree that exists so nobody else can have them.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Those things are selfish.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Now that you point out other examples, I can see why,
Like what I'm doing doesn't feel as selfish.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
No, and it's not you taking care of yourself, And
anybody wanting to do something that makes them happy isn't selfish.
And I do not know where this whole trend came of,
like making fun of people to be selfish for doing
things that make them happy.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The picture thing is interesting because I feel like as
a society, we start saying we've been saying for a
while now, like don't have your phone out, you're just
live in the moment. And I feel like I started
to do that for a little bit, like Okay, I
just need to experience this. I need to enjoy that
and have my mind record it. Something that changed my
mind was the New Bad Bundy album that came out
earlier this year, and that translated The title of it
(15:43):
is I should like I should have taken more photos
where it's somebody looking back in like their eighties or
nineties and realizing they didn't have photos of people that
they love throughout their life. And I think we're seeing
that now, like, oh, you need to live in the moment.
You need to not have your phone up at a
concert or take pictures, like you're saying, these person calling
you out for, you know, capturing these memories. We're not
(16:04):
thinking about us when we're eighty or ninety years old
thinking back, like what did I do when I was thirty?
I only went to a car. I don't have any
videos of it. You're gonna look back, man, I should
have taken more pictures.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, And I think there's a sweet balance there, right, like, yes,
live in the moment, enjoy yourself, don't be you know,
when you're out of dinner with friends, don't be on
your phone, or when you're spending time with family. Try
to make sure you're present and not you know, doom
strolling or whatever. But to capture memories and be the
one who's like, no, we need a photo of everything
is actually a really good quality trick because.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You know how many times when we've been at the
senior living community, I've watched them scrapbooking their photos from
the past, and they get so excited to see these photos,
whether it's of themselves or their family or these memories
that they have. And it really gave me that perspective
of I'm going to take a picture of whatever I
want to take a picture of and because I want.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
To remember it always.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't know that I'm going to have my memory
in fifty years, so I hope that I can look
at pictures and say, oh, that's a cool time, you know,
even if just for a moment. And I think there
is a good balance there that can exist. But I
just in general, I just think it's so wrong that
people seem to think that anything along the lines of
making you happy, that you think is going to serve
you at some point in your life.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
It's selfish. It's insane to me.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It is crazy, right, Like, especially giving up the examples
of like, yeah, these people are selfish, it's a selfish
thing to do versus that reality, like we've really twisted
the definition of that.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
So do the braces.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Speaking of braces, and you were like talking about your
like new vibe, new look, we got an update?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Is that coming into this, I've hit a roadblock.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Okay, so that's not the new Year's resolution for twenty twos.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I My new year's resolution is just like double down
on that. Okay. I feel like I didn't do as
good of a job with some of the things, like
some of the projects I wanted to do where I
just never made time for it, And I feel like
that's investing in myself of just getting these things out
that I've been wanting to do for a while. So
I feel like that was the hardest part for me
(17:59):
to find time to invest in because when I start
looking at like all these hours I have in a week,
it is so hard for me to assign like this
is a time where I'm going to focus on this
that's not necessarily a task I need to complete. There's
no timeline on it, which I think is probably the
most difficult thing for me. If I have something that
has no deadline, no real structure to it, it's hard
(18:21):
for me to make it a priority. Where this is
just kind of a concept. There's nobody checking on this,
it's all just me, So it's hard for me to
think like, ah, that's something I can I can just
do that next year. I can do that later, And
it's something I've just never done yet because I just
haven't invested the time to actually do it.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You have to reframe the way that your brain sees
that activity as something you need to do for you,
not a need because it has a timeline, not a
need because you have like this goal to hit at
this point. It needs to be a need for yourself,
Like you have to teach your brain like, no, this
is necessary for my mental health, for my joy, for
my sanity, you know, to keep you myself happy.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's in need, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I think it's easy to categorize those things as once,
especially when you do have like you and I have
only so many hours in a day to get so
many things done, and we pushed away the other things.
But those other things are the only things that are
going to keep that to do list actually moving and
you happy, you know what I mean, Like you deserve
to be happy in the midst of all.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Of that chaos.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And so you almost have to like teach your brain
to they know that's that's a on the to do
list because it's necessary and not treat it as like, oh,
I want to do that, and maybe when I have
some time I will.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, it's easy. I think it's just like for me,
I need like a checklist, so I need to at
least give myself checkpoints throughout the year. Okay, but I'm
like looking at that's what I'm gonna try to do, Like, Okay,
by this time, I need to be doing this, and
if I'm not, then I can reevaluate. I love that
it doesn't feel like it's as daunting because I've learned
without having anything, I just don't do it. So give
(19:55):
me something that makes you feel a little less daunting
that I can just take it on.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I feel like that's going to help you and it'll
allow you to prioritize it hopefully with those checkpoints, because
you seem to operate well, which is.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Check That's what I do every day. I have like
a little run down, like a little small to do
list I make every single day and mark things off,
and then I have like a thing below it that's
like at least in this week, and then the things
I really want to do I just don't put there
because I'm like I'll find time for that and you don't, Yeah,
and I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
So you've got to add it to the checklist I have. Typically,
I have a like a list for like, like you said,
kind of like the week, and then I have like
a win like it's like house projects whenever we have time,
like this is what we have to start working on.
And then I have a year list where it's like
this is we're hopefully getting done in the week, hopefully
(20:46):
within the month, and.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Hopefully within the year. That's kind of my and then
I putting them on the list.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Man, I don't know if you're like me, but if
I see something all list it's not crossed off, it
really bothers you. Yeah, So if you can do that too,
that would help.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, because I see something and I'm like, how do
I get that off immediately?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah. At least it like kind of forces you to
be like, this is an activity I need to do,
and then it reframes your brain.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But I like that it's rolling in from this year though,
because philium makes it more attainable because you're just working
off of it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah. Because in the past, I've always tried to like
set a resolution that I'm completely changing. Here's a whole
brand new thing. I've never carried one over and thought,
how can I improve this resolution that I've already started
and made it better? So I was like, why not
just double down and what I did before and just
make that better instead of trying to think, like I
need to do some new resolution this year again.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And I'm also the same because twenty twenty five, I
think it might have been twenty Heck, I don't even
know if I made one this past year, but the
last one I remember it is me walking my dog
every day was my goal and that crashed out about
I don't know three weeks in. I did not accomplish,
and I want to That's still a goal that I have,
but mine's actually like yours. Where I started it in
(21:53):
July of this year was all of my health stuff.
I'm hoping to continue that, like really honing in on
how my body's being stress, how I'm working my body
in different ways, and how I can optimize myself and
my health a lot better. And so I'm like feeding
off of what I've already been doing to like really
continue to buckle down into the new year, and it
doesn't feel as daunting because I've already started it.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
It's not like I January first.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah I have to that's a great thing. Yeah, I
would say even if you don't have one by the
start of the year, at any point, just start because
I remember a big thing for me when I first
lost weight. I was gonna wait until the New year,
but I remember it like, I can't wait because then
I'm gonna I'm either not going to commit to it
or it's going to feel like a fad. So I
remember starting in October and I was like, if I
(22:38):
could get over the holidays sticking to this diet, it'll
be so much easier. Whenever January first comes around that
I'm already going to feel like I have a head
start and have already kind of proven myself a little bit.
So I remember that being a pretty big deal, in
like that being successful, because before I tried it, it
was always like a New Year's resolution. I was like,
I'm just gonna start in October.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, it's true because in New Year's resolutions are notorious
for a lot of health goals. Right because you're starting fresh,
it's a new year.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
New year, it's kind of you already did all the
treats the alcohol you're.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Ready to do. That's why.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Also, what is it sober January or dry January is
so popular, And I'm just like, I'm just going to
continue what I've been doing and focus on that trajectory
instead of like stop start stop start, because I don't
do well at those if I just stay what I've
been doing at work. So I'm hoping I continue, Like
maybe this time next year, I'm hoping that I've really
(23:32):
narrowed down and figured out my diet and hopefully don't
feel like the need to even eat a lot of
the holiday foods. It would be my ideal goal in
that world, because right now I still have a lot
of the cravings and I want to try things, and
I still want to have it. I feel like I'm
missing out if I don't, you know what I mean,
But while still doing my routine and my normal diet
in my everyday life. But then I see a holiday
(23:54):
treat or a hot chocolate and I get really excited.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That's crazy to me that I don't have cravings anymore.
I was thinking about this because we've been doing like
a gift basket snack basket for our delivery drivers. Yeah,
and we have like a just big thing of candy
in the house. And I thought me ten fifteen years ago,
that couldn't have existed in the house like I would
have seen it, and I would have just annihilated that thing,
(24:16):
like I couldn't have candy and not finish at all.
And now I saw it, and I was like, I
realized that I don't even think about that, Like I
don't even I see that as something that I don't
even want to partake in. And I just don't have
cravings anymore. I'm so jealous. It's weird. And that's what
took me to realize that that, dang, I don't even
like create, Like I can't even go to the store
and think like I want to throw something in or
(24:38):
I'm driving home like man's stuff by Taco Bell that
there used.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
To be though, I mean, it shows how far you've come, right,
like mine's mostly there, Like I shockingly, I haven't had
Taco Bell in three months?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Who am I talking about? Like that was my go
to And now.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Even with the sweet treats I'll try, I won't over
indulge in them. Now now it's like I just want,
you know, I want a little bit or like Thanksgiving
I had. I think I ate three meals total over
Thanksgiving stuff, Like normally I would eat it every single
day until like the food's gone, you know what I mean.
And I still am I'm bad about that. I don't
like wasting food. I'm not a like I'll try and
(25:18):
eat everything before it goes bad, because I just don't
like wasting stuff. And my boyfriends had to be like Morgan,
that's been in there for like a week, I think
we need to throw that away and I'm.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Like, no it so you're like trying to eat it all.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
And so that was kind of how I feel about
Thanksgiving left ards. So I'm also trying to rewrite that
where I'm like, it's okay, you can get rid of it.
But I've gotten a lot better where now I just
taste things and I try them instead of having fifteen
sugar cookies that I didn't need.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
So I'm hoping to be where you are next year
because that would be cool. That's probably a cool place
to be.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Where you just like you have complete control over what
you want to have, and when you do want something,
you'll have it.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
But it's not a craving. It's like a Okay, yeah,
I'm good. I want to have that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I feel like those dogs whenever you put like a
treat in front of them and they're like so well
trained they don't even look at it. That's that's me.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's impressive because we all know the dogs on that.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Tree and if you say a treat and they eat it,
that's that's me.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And I'm the dog becau sees the trees like that
and goes crazy. It's like, give me more. That's my dog.
So that tracks.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, take one more quick break, and we're gonna come
back and talk about our our personal wraps for the years.
So we're gonna talk about some top foods. Okay, how
many minutes you maybe watch TV? Which we're not going
to have exact numbers, saying this is kind of a guess,
so we'll be right back. There's companies all over the
place that are talking about they're like, you know, find
out how they're twenty twenty five looked. So I want
(26:39):
to talk about our twenty twenty five years. What did
your twenty twenty five look in the aspect of top foods?
Give me your top three foods that you think you
consume this year.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Should I go three two one or start at one,
whichever you want. I know my number one food that
I eat way too much that other people probably don't
eat as much as I do. As dates. I think
that's my number one snack I love. I buy a
big thing dates every single week, and you just eat them,
plain plain on the weekend. Sometimes I'll put a little
peanut butter or I think my wife has some oat butter.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Okay, yeah, some kind of nut butter, and it tastes delicious.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
It tastes like to me, it tastes like a doughnut.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Okay, those are good.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Have you added flaky sy salt to the almond butter
or whatever butter you're adding.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
No, I don't really like salt.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Gosh, you're so good at this sweet.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And SALTYA has never been even when I yeah, I
don't understand the appeal of that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
You hurt my heart. Okay, that a good one. Dates
Number one.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Number two is probably some kind of fig bar is
what I eat a lot of when I just need
something quick.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Those are your breakfasts typically, Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I ate that literally before coming in here.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You're really going to figure out everybody's breakfasts because they're
all pretty normal, like we do in some.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Kind of protein bar or some kind of fig bar.
But I enjoy the fig bar better.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Isn't like Nature's Bakery or something that one.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And then I just tried a new one. I don't
even know the name of it, but they're they're really
good too, and they're like a little bit more bite size.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I'm very observate. I see a lot of things. Okay,
all right, fig And then.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Number three three overall is just caffeine coffee?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh yeah, could you always bring in your like water
bottle full of coffee? Right?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, that is water? Okay, if I drink that much coffee,
that'd be crazy. I drink my coffee before I even
walk in the studio, but I'll have my sixteen ounce
before the show, and then I have my afternoon coffee
later in the day.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, so that might as well be a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Mic we might as well. But the other one is
like twenty four ounces. But I mean, I tell you,
do you drink about close to twenty four ounces?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I was gonna say, you said sixteen is the first one,
and then you said another wondering how much is the
one in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Like a mug.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No, it's like a ten ounce cans twenty four mic
unless I go to Starbucks and then I get the
thirty ounce.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Then even more than that, you've made water bottle seem
like it was crazy. But that's how much you're consuming today,
all right, those are good ones.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think mine. Number one has been chickpeas.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I have been devouring chickpeace in brownies, in soups, and
just full blown dishes.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I found every way to change a chickpea.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I like a crunchy chickpee.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh see, those are good.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
A crunchy chicken and a salad that's bomb. Chick beas
have been my guy this year. I don't know why,
but I've been. I found him in every recipe. And
number two, let's see, I feel like a big one
for this lately, has been soup. I've really, even even
in summer, I was eating soup.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I don't ask me why you around food.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I just don't a winter girly, you know, I'm just
really not a summer girly. I like the winter.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I like being cozy and comfort, and soup is comfort
to me. And I've found so many soup dishes that
I really like, especially in the last several months, so soup.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I don't think I can eat soup anymore. It just
takes me back to when all we could afford was soup.
So to me, soup feels like like loneliness and like sorrow. Okay,
but man, I really want bird King right now? Movie
got soup?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So is it like sad soup?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Is soup?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Sad soup? These are like suits that you make and
you add a whole bunch.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Of things in maybe alphabet suit. I guess I just
don't have a real relationship with soup that's like good soup.
That's why I was like people order soup at restaurants, like,
why would you get depressing soup? I didn't realize it's
something that could be good.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
It is, Okay, I need to send you my vegan
potato soup and you would love it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Maybe like my mom would make an elevated version of
soup with like actual meat and other things in it.
But I didn't really see that as soup. I think
some people would. But just like straight up soup, I'm like,
this is sad to me.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Well, I guess because you're having sad soup.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
We need to do some good, hearty soups, and I
need you to make the vegan potato soup because I
think you would really like it.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And I would be honored if that changed your It's
not my restaurant.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I just found it, but I'd be honored if that
helped change your narrative on soup. E we won and
then gosh my number three hmmm, well, I mean it's
probably a drink for me too. In the last six months,
I've consumed this more than anything else, really, because I've
really tried to hold back on drinking alcohol.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
As ollipops, ah, I couldn't really get into.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Those, so I can't get into most of them, but
that great flavor.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Has me in choke hold.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Maybe I just had a bad flavor.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, I think there is some bad ones, because I've
had other ones.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
When the grape was ran out and I got really sad,
I was like, this tastes like crap, but the lollipop
grape flavor, granted, I love great flavored things. I don't
know if that's a weird thing. Do you like greape
flavored stuff?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Again? Kind of reminds me of being broke.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
So what you're telling me, is my diet about of
a child. I'm saying this right now.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, well, ollipop grape is the top tier flavor in
my opinion, and I haven't draining it a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
As far as flavors from my childhood, I think I
associate great with being Oh yeah, it was grape.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Left, like for like a grape popstick.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Like I think of like when I'd go to party,
like kid parties when I was a kid, and they
had all just like the random generic flavored soda. Oh
and all like the colas are gone, the sprites were gone.
It was always like grape soda that was left because
nobody was too excited. I'd be drinking like a welches
and like it's left.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
That's funny. Okay, I'm sorry, my two shirt stuff for you.
How many minutes.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Do you think you watch TV or movies? And we're
going generic, We don't really have a good number.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I know about how many movies I watched this year, Okay,
I think it was about one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Because I keep a long running list of everything that
I watch and review, and that's just new movies. I
don't really well, I think the one to fifteen is
maybe total, because sometimes I don't factor in the reviews
of like things I rewatch or maybe something old that
I watch for the first time. Okay, but I think
I've seen one hundred and fifteen new movies.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
This year, Okay, and I'm gonna times that by two
because that's relatively each one is nearly two hours. We're
just gonna yeah, i'meralize it's about two hundred and thirty.
That doesn't seem right. That doesn't seem right. Wait minutes, Yeah,
that doesn't feel like enough. First, because each one is
sixty minutes. That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I don't like math.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
You guys are seeing in real time. B was the
only I only got a B in math. I'm the
only subject because I sucked at it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
These thirteen minutes, thank you. It's a lot of minutes,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
And that's just in movies.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Just in movies. Yeah, TV shows. I don't even know
how many shows I've watched this year, right, probably a
series or two a month.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I feel like I'm the same way. I don't think
I've watched as many movies as you because you'll sometimes
like triple them up on a Saturday I would say
I'm probably somewhere about like seventy movies.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, I watch a lot of TV.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And it's also like it's including all the things in
background that i'm watching too, right like because when I'm
at homeworking, everything's on the TV, so I also including
the ones that I specifically make sure to watch.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
So I would say I'm about like three fourths of yours.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's still a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's still a lot, but yours is a lot. Although
that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
At minimum three new movies a week, that's just minimum.
That's a normal week.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Also fair though, because you do have a movie podcast,
so I can't give you a two heart of a
time about that, but that's wild. It's a lot of minutes.
Do you like see that number? You're like, I could
have done a lot with those of a lot. How
many scams did you fall for in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I think this year I am scam free.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Not a single one.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I don't think, not a single one.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I think I almost fell for two, Mike, I didn't,
but they almost had me on two. One was like
the hacker on PayPal, and I feel like, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I remember that you saw it?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
In real time, right, yeah, and I stopped him. It
was like a whole dramatic scene. I was so proud
of myself, but I think they're way. It happened because
I was playing a game on my phone called travel
Town that I really like to play, and there's a
Facebook page where you can go and you can get
more energy, and it's a legit Facebook pa it's.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The company that has this game.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Well, people can post on that page, and I think
somebody realized that if you like to get their extra energy,
you click their link, which is that company's link. I
was always very good about that, but they started getting
like floated into my feed and it was a scammer,
I think. And it was a scam.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Link because I was trying to get more.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Energy energy so bad, and I was like, there's no
because it was right around that PayPal hack, so I'm
like it had to have been that link. What was
crazy though, is I was like as soon as I
clicked into I was like, no, no, no, I don't know
what that is. And I like tried to go backward,
but I think I was too late just even clicking it. Yeah,
(35:44):
how long, So I think at least one and then
There was another one where I got a text message
and I panicked. It was just recently actually, and it
was like, you have one hundred and eighty eight dollars
left on a bill, a medical bill outstanding, and like
we don't want to send it to collections or whatever.
And I panicked, thankfully though, and it panicked to them.
I called the medical office, where I was like, oh, yeah, no,
(36:06):
you don't have a bill.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
And I was like cool.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
The one that almost gets me no matter how often
I see it is there's a Facebook one whenever they're like,
oh no, I can't believe they died, and they're like,
wait who died? And you want to click the link
like it's a news story. That one always gets me,
Like I don't click it, but for a second, I'm
like should I click it? Oh it's a scam?
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, this is so funny you say that. My mom
felt for that one.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, it's it'll get you, Like even if you're like
vigilant about that, there's something about that curiosity because the
post is so unassuming yep, and it just kind of
teases you with that clickbait like oh yeah, so sad
and who died?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
This is how it happened for my mom was like
somebody she's known for decades posted it, so their account
got hacked and post it was like you'll never get
who died or whatever. And I see my mom calming
on it and was like, well, who is it?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
And I like talked to her the next day She's like, yeah, cleared.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I was like, no, you didn't, and she got hacked
on her razor bade change.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
So that did remind me that my TikTok did get
hacked this year.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Oh my gosh, yeah, but you got it back.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I got it back, but I don't know what. I
don't know how it happened. Like I know, ended up
figuring out what country it was from and what they
wanted to do, which they got in changed, my username changed,
my profile changed, like the email just completely took it
over so much so they would not even have any
remnants of like me ever owning that account because they
(37:33):
what they do is they do that so they can
turn around and turn it into a TikTok shop yep.
And they were applying for it, trying to get it
approved and luckily it never got approved and I was
able to get it back.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, that was and that was happening in the early
morning hours too.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yeah, because we were messaging.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
About I was like, okay, I got it. I will
wake up a little bit so we can see if
we can help Mike. But I'm glad you ended up
getting it back. That was crazy. Lunchbox never got his
Twitter account back.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yeah, that was gone.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
We tried.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
But also Twitter's dumpster fire, so I didn't anticipate getting
it back. There's not like a support to reach out to.
I don't really have anybody there. I'm just like sorry,
it literally is this a crazy social media platform right now?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Your top online purchases.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I don't really buy a whole lot of stuff online.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
What no, do you guys having stores? Yeah, okay, okay,
we'll do just top purchases.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Okay, cause I'm not really Here's the thing, I don't
really spend money. Well that's a good quality that I
don't really find enjoyment out of buying things.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I think about whenever I moved to Nashville and got
rid of all my things coming here. That was kind
of a me having a I don't really need possessions
type thing. Like there was something sobering about filling up
my car with everything that I own and thinking like
this really doesn't add up too much, and like I
could just it was so easy for me to dump
(38:57):
whatever little things I had into a dumpster because I
was like this, this is worthless to me. That I
kind of not a hoarder. Yeah, that I kind of
had like this minimalist approach to life after that of
like I don't really need things. I like that though.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I think that's a really cool thing, especially in a
consumer based economy right now, So I think that's something
I think.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It also just takes a lot for me to pull
the trigger on a purchase where I'm like do I
really need this? How am I going to see this
in a month? Am I still going to want it?
But I would say my number one thing that I
do spend money on is probably comic books. Okay, yeah,
like this this year, I found a lot of joy
in going like every week to New Comic Book Day
(39:36):
and getting comics. And I'd probably spend maybe on a
good week if a lot of good stuff came out,
it could be like thirty bucks a week.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I thought you're about to say, like three hundred, No,
thirty thirty is nothing, MiG, I mean that's a good
number for even the thing that you find the most.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Joy and like on a light week when maybe only
a couple comics come out like ten bucks a week.
And I've kind of slowed down even on that just
because I got to a point where it fe like
I was having to keep up with it, and I
was like, I'll take a little bit of break.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah, Okay, comic books is a good one, and it's
also turned into something you use too as your background
with your podcast, so it technically might be a business expense.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
But I read them and then put them up.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Okay. Two others I.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Guess clothes, but I've seen that more as an investment,
like we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
But again with that, I have to like overthink every purchase,
and I'm like, am I like this? I My wife
hates going to shop with me because I'll go with
the intent of getting something and not I'm like, if
I don't fully love it, I'm not going to buy it,
because then I know that I'm not gonna wear it.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Okay, but that's a great mentality to have.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
My boyfriend's kind of been revamping his style and stuff too,
And I always I'm like, if you do not love it,
do not buy this. I don't care if I love it,
you are the one that's going to choose it and
get it out of the closet and wear it.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
So do you love it? Great?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Get it? Because for a while I was taking her
suggestions on like what she thought I would look good in,
and I was open to that. I tried that, but
then I realized, if I don't feel comfortable in it,
like I'm just not gonna wear it. Yep. I was like,
I'm just not. I know instantly when I put something on,
like if it feels like, oh, this is a perfect fit,
I can't convince myself otherwise if I don't get that feeling.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah, And I think guys naturally have a little bit
easier with their clothes.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Don't change quite as much in style wise.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I've learned, Oh, I though you meant fitting wise. Oh
that's the whole thing I've had to learn.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Not too But also, just like our style, women's style
seems to change every three months, right, there's something new,
there's a new trend where guys, I feel like it's
maybe once a year, maybe maybe every other year. So
at least you know the things that you like. You
don't constantly have things being added in to be like
do I like this?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Do I like that?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
And your guys's trends aren't dramatic shifts like we went
from skinny jeans to wide leg jeans to barrel jeans
and span about three years.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
But guys, they're still over there with like a little
bit bigger than skinny.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Jeans, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
So it might make that process a little bit easier.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
I would think I could be wrong, though, I don't know,
But at least it's like something that you guys can
can do together and you know for sure, like yes
this or no not that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
That's a good quality to have. There's a lot of
people I go in there a lot. I'm like, I
don't know. My mom had to teach me that. She's like,
do you love it? You don't love it? You're not
gonna pick it out of the closet and wear it.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
And she was right right, Who was that mando?
Speaker 3 (42:36):
I was getting there?
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Okay, I think I think that's it. I think we're
wrapping for today. Oh okay, well not something funny? What
is the thing that you are not looking forward to
about the holidays, because we talked about all exciting things
like and.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
We will have already experienced this at this point.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
But mine, and I'll give you minds, is that I'm
dreading the eleven hour road trip to Kansas and back
from Kansas. I love being there, it's great, but that
twenty two hour drive in the midst of everything is brutal.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
That is a that's a road trip, Like that is
I think anything over six hours I consider a road trip. Yeah,
that is like a hole.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, because right at the six hour point, you're like, dang,
we still got fire.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
If it ever gets to a point where it's like
this has been a while and you're only halfway through,
that is a road trip.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Mm hmm exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
So what is your thing that you're not looking forward
to about the holidays that are currently happening.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Luckily, my trip is pretty easy. It's like a two
hour flying so I don't have to worry a whole
lot about that. My thing is I wake up so
early naturally. I hate that period of time when I'm
the only one awake because I don't know what to do.
I'm at somebody else's house, and I'm like, I don't
feel fully comfortable here, Like do I get out of bed?
My staying but I go turn on the TV? Do
(43:48):
I go make a cup of coffee? Do I get
out of the house? Like what do I do? Oh?
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Are you getting to a point now that where you're
a little bit more comfortable or still?
Speaker 1 (43:57):
No? No, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
So.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
How long have you and your wife been together?
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Now? Since twenty eighteen? So seven years going on? Right?
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Because I'm assuming at your house? Do you feel more
comfortable when you were like staying with your parents?
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah, but I've ever been like sometimes it feels I'm
still not like.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
You went in your parents' house.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Yeah, because we're this year, we're going to my sister's house, okay,
and I still feel like, do I turn on the TV?
Like what what can I do here? Because it's different
like at my parents because like I live there. Yeah,
I didn't live at my sister's house, so it still
feels like I'm at her house and it's still we're
like getting up and making noise when everybody else is
still asleep. I just find like that time, like do
I I end up just laying in bed and watching
(44:38):
TikTok for a while until everybody else wakes up.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
It doesn't wait for everybody. How many hours does it
take to at least another person to wake up?
Speaker 1 (44:44):
I mean, luckily my mom wakes up. Semi earl is too,
so maybe it's like another hour until she wakes up.
So then I just have somebody to like to talk
to or like game plan with.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah, and you can't turn off that internal body clock. Yeah,
that's just gonna be what it is.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
But at my wife's like, it could be three to
four hours before anybody else wakes up.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Oh that's brutal. You watch a lot of TikTok, you
know a lot about what's happening in the world.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
By the time everybody wakes up, I turn into an
iPad kid and just watch stuff on my iPad.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
You gotta get yourself like a game that you can
start playing in bed, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Oh, yeah, I'll take my switch.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, that's what you start doing, so that at least
you have two different technology items to go back and
forth between. Well, Mike, thanks for being on. Tell the

I hang a thing with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
What's Up Everybody? In Happy twenty twenty six? Mike, do
what's up?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
New Year?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It feels crazy because we are currently recording this in
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Five feels like the old year.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It is the old year for us, but in this
moment you're hearing this, it is a happy twenty twenty six.
What did you do for New Year's What were your
plans that you would plan to do?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
At least?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I love New Year's Day. Like New Year's Eve is
kind of like I don't really do anything. I don't drink,
so it's not really a holiday to me anymore. Used
to be, I used to party all that was like
my favorite day of the year. Really yeah, But now
New Year's Day is my favorite because you can do
nothing and there's no expectations. I think it's the best holiday.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It really is that in between right after Christmas and
those five days until New Year's in New Year's Day,
there is nothing happening. Yeah, Like there's not a single
brain cell that's a movie in my head.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
During those five days.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
It's that time where you forget what day of the week.
It is, you're like, what am I eating? Who cares?
And you're kind of like in that that blindness.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Yep, I love in my sweat uniform.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, you see me the same outfit probably about three
or four times during that whole thing. Yep, I totally
get that. But I feel like New Year's is an
overrated holiday.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I mean, it's fun depending on what you do. Like,
if you love to party, it's a great holiday.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's true. But like I used to love to party,
and I still do.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Like I love gatherings now versus the party per se.
But I don't know something about the hype around New
Year's where you have to get all dressed up, it's
freezing cold outside, you pay an exorbitant amount of money
to go somewhere, and uber's cost a crap ton of money,
so if you are drinking, you better be prepared for that.
It's like the only way that New Year's is good
to me is if you're going to a house party.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh yeah, when I say party, I mean only house party.
I didn't really do going out partying. I'm talking about
house party, Okay. I have the best memories. Is like
getting and drinking a lot in the cold, like something
about like having a cold drink in your hand and
it also being cold out. Oh you like it, so
you're committed to it. That's fun to me.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, But maybe it's because you don't have to wear
like a tiny sparkling dress and fuels.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
That's the difference. But that's fair.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
I will say we're doing a house where we did
a house party this year with a bunch of my
friends from back home, and I was really excited looking for,
like coming to that day versus normally when New Year's
I'm like, oh, I don't want to do anything. Like
last year I was at my parents' house, I did nothing.
I ate grapes under the table. Is that last year
of the year before it all blours together now?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I've stopped doing stuff because it was so overrated for me.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm also a sucker for live events, so I love
watching the New Year's Eve like countdown.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh, you watched the ball drop?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I watched like all three hours leading up to that.
Like for Thanksgiving, we watched the entire Thanksgiving baraid. I
don't know. There's something about those two holidays that just
tell me, like I need to watch the live TV
version of this, So you like.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
The live celebration, Yeah, will you watch the one from Nashville.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I'll go back and forth because they'll go to commercial
at like different times, so I'll go back and forth
between the main one in the Nashville one.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, and isn't there for New Year's? Isn't there four
or five different ones?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I know there's the two main that I flip back
and forth, and I don't know if they're doing that
third one still. I remember like Miley Cyrus and Pete
Davidson hosted it one year and it went very good.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, it was like it was all the major I
guess networks trying to compete with each other.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Everybody kind of had their own.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, So I don't know if they're all still doing it,
but yeah, Nashville's now want into the mix.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
They've been doing that one for quite a while though.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I like the performances.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, that they record like months ahead. That's the thing
I always like pick out. I'm like, here's the live ones.
Here's one where it's clearly July.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I know, and I get it because people have plans
on New Year's. It's not how you get the big names.
But it's funny to me because like the people that go,
I feel like they get jipped a little bit because
you think everybody's going to be there, they're not.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You get like three or four of them. Maybe.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Okay, so New Year's parties, but this year you were
low key.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Low key watching the ball drop.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's what I like to do.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Do you drink on New Year's Now?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
No, I am questioning whether or not I'm going to
drink on this break, okay, because I probably have had
a drink since like the first vacation this summer.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Oh okay, so significant break and usually I like plan
it out like I this year, I did retire the
day where I would eat everything my purge day.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
For the last two years, I haven't done it, one
because I don't feel like I need it anymore, and
two because now that I'm married and we go back
and forth between families, it's hard to plan a day
for it. It was kind of more of a single
thing where I was like, I know I'm going to
be with my family on this day. I can go
buy all the food and have it for that one day.
But now it's like, we don't always know where we're
going to go and where we're going to be, and
(04:36):
I have to be like in the right state of
mind and have everything perfect in order to make that
day work. So it's harder to do now in this
phase of life. And also I just feel like I'm
kind of past it. It was kind of a thing
I put on myself early on, but I don't think
I need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Well, and I feel like couraged me if I'm wrong.
But now if you wanted to have something, you just
may have it, yeah, versus it was like you were
really strict on yourself up until that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, my wife is been able to convince me that
I'm not going to revert back just because I have
a couple of things here and there. But the thing
I would kind of like place an assign to that
was like, that's also going to be the day where
I drink a lot. And now I'm like, I don't
really factor that in anymore. I'm like, if I want to,
I will, but it's usually only on vacation or Christmas,
(05:20):
and I'm debating on whether or not I even want you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay, Well, then here's this question.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
When you have those things, when you've had the food
and you've had alcohol. Are you like, oh my gosh,
give me more anymore immediately, or are you okay?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
That tasted good and I'm good going back.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I feel like it's not worth it anymore where I
have it, and I'm like, this isn't as fun as
I remember. Yeah, even the last time, Like my whole
favorite thing is to go to baseball games and have
beers at a baseball game just because that's like that's
comfort to me. Even the last time I did that,
I was like, this isn't as fun as I remember
to be, Like I can still have the same enjoyment
enjoyment from this not drinking.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, And I feel that same way too, Like the
hangovers just aren't worth it to me anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I think it's just more the idea of drinking that
I enjoy. Yeah, social accents, Yeah, even just having something
in your hands sometimes, like the bottle in your hand,
Like I like that feeling and like sipping on something.
But I don't think I necessarily need it to be alcohol,
Like I could just have a topo Cheico and have
the same effect I've learned.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I was gonna say, there's so many cool drinks now
that are non alcoholic. I feel like you can find
something to sip on, to hold it in your hand
and have that same feeling without the repercussions of drinking.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That's also why I think more sports like venues need
to have coffee. Yeah, like I would just drink a
bunch of coffee.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Okay, Mike, let me tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So I went to a Papa bar with my boyfriend
and he was He got an espresso martini.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
He loves those.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That's the very people love him. I've never had one.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I feel like you need to try on since you
love coffee.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Is there is there darien or is it just expresso
in alcohol?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It depends where you go.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Some it's just act. They look kind of sweet.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, so they have foam, but that's from shaking the espresso.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Ah, I got it. So it real.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Some of them could have dairy and like a creamer
in them potentially, but I've known plenty that don't and
they don't have a significant foam on them. So they're
all different and you can make them at home and
it be the same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
You just have to shake it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I've learned as kind of the key ingredient to make
it look like an espresso martini.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Yeah, but he got that and I got a.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Hot apple cider because I wanted to participate, but I
wasn't really wanting to drink.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I still haven't been.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And I got a message and was like, you're having
coffee at a bar, grow up? And I was like,
excuse me, First of all, this apple cider. I can
have that at a bar, And sid of.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
All, who cares? Like, what are we really shaming drinks?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Now?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't think that's a grow up type of thing.
I think that's just your preference. Yeah, I know more
places should serve coffee for or even just have more
options that don't feel like you're just ordering like a
virgin drink, like non alcoholic options. There's a way to go,
and why not branch out half coffee?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I see, I don't see a problem with it. I
was so like offended by that. I was like, grow up,
where am I supposed to grow up to?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Not like you're having like an apple juice or like
like a kool Aid pack.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And let me tell you the appleside vinegar or not
vinegar applesider, just appleside hot apple size.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Vinegar that'd be an hardcore drink. That'd be horrible. I can't.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I can really take a sip of apple sider vinegar
and I want to vomit.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
You should, just, inspite of that person, have a Caprisa
now next time they.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Do make alcoholic precise.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It sounds delicious. The only thing I've had like that
that I worried about my health was vodka Red Bulls
the first time I went to Vegas. That was like
the end of the night thing. But it tasted amazing,
but I was not able to fall asleep that night.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh yeah, those are those I when I used to
drink a lot in college. When I wanted to stay
awake through the night, I was drinking a Red Bull
vodka about midnight.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I think, out of every flavor in the world, the
flavor of Red Bull is my favorite flavor.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
There's something about all the chemicals or whatever it is
they get to make a taste like that that is amazing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Well, and they have a new one. It's an apple
apple vinegar type thing. Apple and huh cider. I can't
remember ginger ginger.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That sounds like a drink.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
It was apple and ginger and it was amazing. It
tastes a very fall cold weather type. So if you
like the taste, I don't know if you'd like the
taste of a flavored one, but it was bomb.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I think out of everything now, I've just convinced myself
to go get a red Bull. You can leave here,
no beer, nolco. I just want a red Bull.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
So no drinking this holiday. Just some a pack of
Red Bull. You can be wired on everything for every night.
And your wife is like, what is happening?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Which does your wife drink a lot? How is that
like situation for you too?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
She likes wine? Okay, so she'll she's like, I wish
you drink wine so I could enjoy this with somebody. Yeah,
but she loves wine. And then if we go out,
she'll she likes a spicy margarita.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
You know what's funny about that is I have realized
my boyfriend doesn't like to drink alone and I don't
like to eat sweets alone. So like, yeah, I could
see that there's a social aspect of both of those things.
So your wife's saying that complete makes so much sense
in my head because like if I go, say we
go get a sweet treets, especially right now, if I
find a vegan, gluten free sweet treet, I'm all about
(10:04):
it because I want to try it and I want
to curb my sweet tooth. And we'll walk into those
places and he'll look at me and say, I don't know,
I'm not feeling it, and he gets like a death
stare for me. I'm like, you're really not gonna We
went all this way and you're not gonna get one.
And he's like, I just want a few bites of
yours and I was like, no, I don't share, but
I want you to participate. And we laugh about it
because he does the same thing with drinking, like sometimes
he won't drink because I'm not, and I'm like.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You're fine, please have as much as you want.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I'll drive. That's the best part of this. And he's like,
but it's not as fun.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
To drink by myself. So we've realized our comparisons are that.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I think she has drone to like it, because, like
you said, I always just drive so she can have
a drink, and I'm the one who's always going to
be sobering. I can drive exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
But I do see the aspect where we're like, I
really wish I could cheer someone or like, you know,
we're in it together.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
We have the little buzz.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
It's a partnership thing because I'm the same thing with sweets.
I want to be like, okay, well how was it?
And more than anything, I really just want to try
two different things. But I only have to buy one thing.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That's really what I'm working the system.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah, like you get something different, we get to share.
I digress. That's that's hard to bay. That's been happening lately.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
New Year's resolutions is what we're gonna get into next.
We're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna see
how last years went. Ones that we have coming up,
all the good stuff. All right, So first of all,
how did your New year resolution for twenty twenty five go?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
It went okay. But I think that's the thing leading
me to my new resolution because last year was for
me to invest more in myself. Yeah, which I thought
I did an okay job at but I don't think
I put enough time into it.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, and invest more into yourself, meaning.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Meaning doing things that I normally wouldn't do because I
think I don't have time to do them. Whether it's
like okay, here's an opportunity where I can maybe host something,
but I have to like take time out of doing
something else and just find time for it, because that's
really hard for me to do. Like even planning a
month ahead, I'm like, what is we're going to look
like in that timeframe? Can I commit to this? So
(12:04):
it's doing things like that of like, okay, I want
to invest in myself and knowing that that could lead
me to something else I want to do in my future.
I got to make time for that and invest in myself.
It was also this past year with my teeth getting
those fixed and going through that entire process figuring out
what road I wanted to go down, how painful or
not painful I wanted it to be. That was all
(12:24):
investing in myself to just feel more confident. I think
that was probably the biggest thing that paid off last
year of I just felt better overall, and that allowed
me to just feel like, Okay, like I can do
these other things and invest in myself because now I
kind of in a weird way, felt worthy of things now,
just because that's a big part of I think even
(12:45):
the way I carry myself now is like having no
braces anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It was a confidence factor for sure.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And I didn't realize it, like I thought the entire
time I had them, that I got used to them,
that I liked them, But it was so weird. Like
a month or maybe two more after going back and
seeing pictures of me, and I'm like, oh wow, I
looked a lot, damn it. And I just feel so
much better and more free. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, and I'm sure being an adult and doing that
as an adult also comes with its own challenges. So
you weren't just like yourself trying to work through your
confidence of what was happening. But also you're doing something
later on in life, and that always comes with its
own judgment and things, even though there shouldn't be. Somebody's
just trying to do something cool for themselves, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, I think it's hard to invest in yourself because
you feel selfish. M hmm.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
It's like if you get braces as a kid, it's
almost like your parents are making you. Yeah, but as
an adult, you're like, oh, I'm doing this for me.
Nobody else is making me. I don't have to. I'm
spending money on myself.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But like that's where it matters.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I feel like that's where the confidence comes from, is
when you start to really invest in yourself.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
And I feel like there's this weird line that I
walk of, like wanting to invest in myself but also
not feeling like I don't like your kind of like
a little bit like conceited or something, or just like
I care about myself a little bit too much.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, everybody feels this way about like think Okay, here's
another reference on social media. Okay, I have posted like
a carousel and it was like my boyfriend takes pictures
of me, and somebody wrote.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Isn't that conceited to have pictures of you?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
And I'm like, I'm sorry, Since when is like wanting
memories of myself locked into a photo a bad thing?
We look back on him, You're eighty years old, I'm
gonna look back on photos and me actually be in
the photos. Yeah, you know, I don't want to be
the one taking all of the photos. It's cool to
do that, but it's also cool to be a participant
in that. Like we love to self assign this association
(14:40):
of somebody being selfish by doing anything that's for themselves,
and that's just not the case, like somebody being selfish
is like, oh, I purposely shut the door on your
face because I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Hold it open for you. That's selfish.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Or I'm selfishly gonna take every last I don't know
freaking Christmas tree that exists so nobody else can have them.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Those things are selfish.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Now that you point out other examples, I can see why,
Like what I'm doing doesn't feel as selfish.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
No, and it's not you taking care of yourself, And
anybody wanting to do something that makes them happy isn't selfish.
And I do not know where this whole trend came of,
like making fun of people to be selfish for doing
things that make them happy.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The picture thing is interesting because I feel like as
a society, we start saying we've been saying for a
while now, like don't have your phone out, you're just
live in the moment. And I feel like I started
to do that for a little bit, like Okay, I
just need to experience this. I need to enjoy that
and have my mind record it. Something that changed my
mind was the New Bad Bundy album that came out
earlier this year, and that translated The title of it
(15:43):
is I should like I should have taken more photos
where it's somebody looking back in like their eighties or
nineties and realizing they didn't have photos of people that
they love throughout their life. And I think we're seeing
that now, like, oh, you need to live in the moment.
You need to not have your phone up at a
concert or take pictures, like you're saying, these person calling
you out for, you know, capturing these memories. We're not
(16:04):
thinking about us when we're eighty or ninety years old
thinking back, like what did I do when I was thirty?
I only went to a car. I don't have any
videos of it. You're gonna look back, man, I should
have taken more pictures.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, And I think there's a sweet balance there, right, like, yes,
live in the moment, enjoy yourself, don't be you know,
when you're out of dinner with friends, don't be on
your phone, or when you're spending time with family. Try
to make sure you're present and not you know, doom
strolling or whatever. But to capture memories and be the
one who's like, no, we need a photo of everything
is actually a really good quality trick because.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I promise you.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
You know how many times when we've been at the
senior living community, I've watched them scrapbooking their photos from
the past, and they get so excited to see these photos,
whether it's of themselves or their family or these memories
that they have. And it really gave me that perspective
of I'm going to take a picture of whatever I
want to take a picture of and because I want.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
To remember it always.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't know that I'm going to have my memory
in fifty years, so I hope that I can look
at pictures and say, oh, that's a cool time, you know,
even if just for a moment. And I think there
is a good balance there that can exist. But I
just in general, I just think it's so wrong that
people seem to think that anything along the lines of
making you happy, that you think is going to serve
you at some point in your life.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
It's selfish. It's insane to me.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It is crazy, right, Like, especially giving up the examples
of like, yeah, these people are selfish, it's a selfish
thing to do versus that reality, like we've really twisted
the definition of that.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
So do the braces.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Speaking of braces, and you were like talking about your
like new vibe, new look, we got an update?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Is that coming into this, I've hit a roadblock.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Okay, so that's not the new Year's resolution for twenty twos.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I My new year's resolution is just like double down
on that. Okay. I feel like I didn't do as
good of a job with some of the things, like
some of the projects I wanted to do where I
just never made time for it, And I feel like
that's investing in myself of just getting these things out
that I've been wanting to do for a while. So
I feel like that was the hardest part for me
(17:59):
to find time to invest in because when I start
looking at like all these hours I have in a week,
it is so hard for me to assign like this
is a time where I'm going to focus on this
that's not necessarily a task I need to complete. There's
no timeline on it, which I think is probably the
most difficult thing for me. If I have something that
has no deadline, no real structure to it, it's hard
(18:21):
for me to make it a priority. Where this is
just kind of a concept. There's nobody checking on this,
it's all just me, So it's hard for me to
think like, ah, that's something I can I can just
do that next year. I can do that later, And
it's something I've just never done yet because I just
haven't invested the time to actually do it.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You have to reframe the way that your brain sees
that activity as something you need to do for you,
not a need because it has a timeline, not a
need because you have like this goal to hit at
this point. It needs to be a need for yourself,
Like you have to teach your brain like, no, this
is necessary for my mental health, for my joy, for
my sanity, you know, to keep you myself happy.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's in need, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I think it's easy to categorize those things as once,
especially when you do have like you and I have
only so many hours in a day to get so
many things done, and we pushed away the other things.
But those other things are the only things that are
going to keep that to do list actually moving and
you happy, you know what I mean, Like you deserve
to be happy in the midst of all.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Of that chaos.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
And so you almost have to like teach your brain
to they know that's that's a on the to do
list because it's necessary and not treat it as like, oh,
I want to do that, and maybe when I have
some time I will.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, it's easy. I think it's just like for me,
I need like a checklist, so I need to at
least give myself checkpoints throughout the year. Okay, but I'm
like looking at that's what I'm gonna try to do, Like, Okay,
by this time, I need to be doing this, and
if I'm not, then I can reevaluate. I love that
it doesn't feel like it's as daunting because I've learned
without having anything, I just don't do it. So give
(19:55):
me something that makes you feel a little less daunting
that I can just take it on.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I feel like that's going to help you and it'll
allow you to prioritize it hopefully with those checkpoints, because
you seem to operate well, which is.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Check That's what I do every day. I have like
a little run down, like a little small to do
list I make every single day and mark things off,
and then I have like a thing below it that's
like at least in this week, and then the things
I really want to do I just don't put there
because I'm like I'll find time for that and you don't, Yeah,
and I don't.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
So you've got to add it to the checklist I have. Typically,
I have a like a list for like, like you said,
kind of like the week, and then I have like
a win like it's like house projects whenever we have time,
like this is what we have to start working on.
And then I have a year list where it's like
this is we're hopefully getting done in the week, hopefully
(20:46):
within the month, and.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Hopefully within the year. That's kind of my and then
I putting them on the list.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Man, I don't know if you're like me, but if
I see something all list it's not crossed off, it
really bothers you. Yeah, So if you can do that too,
that would help.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Yeah, because I see something and I'm like, how do
I get that off immediately?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Yeah. At least it like kind of forces you to
be like, this is an activity I need to do,
and then it reframes your brain.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
But I like that it's rolling in from this year though,
because philium makes it more attainable because you're just working
off of it.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah. Because in the past, I've always tried to like
set a resolution that I'm completely changing. Here's a whole
brand new thing. I've never carried one over and thought,
how can I improve this resolution that I've already started
and made it better? So I was like, why not
just double down and what I did before and just
make that better instead of trying to think, like I
need to do some new resolution this year again.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And I'm also the same because twenty twenty five, I
think it might have been twenty Heck, I don't even
know if I made one this past year, but the
last one I remember it is me walking my dog
every day was my goal and that crashed out about
I don't know three weeks in. I did not accomplish,
and I want to That's still a goal that I have,
but mine's actually like yours. Where I started it in
(21:53):
July of this year was all of my health stuff.
I'm hoping to continue that, like really honing in on
how my body's being stress, how I'm working my body
in different ways, and how I can optimize myself and
my health a lot better. And so I'm like feeding
off of what I've already been doing to like really
continue to buckle down into the new year, and it
doesn't feel as daunting because I've already started it.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
It's not like I January first.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah I have to that's a great thing. Yeah, I
would say even if you don't have one by the
start of the year, at any point, just start because
I remember a big thing for me when I first
lost weight. I was gonna wait until the New year,
but I remember it like, I can't wait because then
I'm gonna I'm either not going to commit to it
or it's going to feel like a fad. So I
remember starting in October and I was like, if I
(22:38):
could get over the holidays sticking to this diet, it'll
be so much easier. Whenever January first comes around that
I'm already going to feel like I have a head
start and have already kind of proven myself a little bit.
So I remember that being a pretty big deal, in
like that being successful, because before I tried it, it
was always like a New Year's resolution. I was like,
I'm just gonna start in October.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Well, it's true because in New Year's resolutions are notorious
for a lot of health goals. Right because you're starting fresh,
it's a new year.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
New year, it's kind of you already did all the
treats the alcohol you're.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Ready to do. That's why.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Also, what is it sober January or dry January is
so popular, And I'm just like, I'm just going to
continue what I've been doing and focus on that trajectory
instead of like stop start stop start, because I don't
do well at those if I just stay what I've
been doing at work. So I'm hoping I continue, Like
maybe this time next year, I'm hoping that I've really
(23:32):
narrowed down and figured out my diet and hopefully don't
feel like the need to even eat a lot of
the holiday foods. It would be my ideal goal in
that world, because right now I still have a lot
of the cravings and I want to try things, and
I still want to have it. I feel like I'm
missing out if I don't, you know what I mean,
But while still doing my routine and my normal diet
in my everyday life. But then I see a holiday
(23:54):
treat or a hot chocolate and I get really excited.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
That's crazy to me that I don't have cravings anymore.
I was thinking about this because we've been doing like
a gift basket snack basket for our delivery drivers. Yeah,
and we have like a just big thing of candy
in the house. And I thought me ten fifteen years ago,
that couldn't have existed in the house like I would
have seen it, and I would have just annihilated that thing,
(24:16):
like I couldn't have candy and not finish at all.
And now I saw it, and I was like, I
realized that I don't even think about that, Like I
don't even I see that as something that I don't
even want to partake in. And I just don't have
cravings anymore. I'm so jealous. It's weird. And that's what
took me to realize that that, dang, I don't even
like create, Like I can't even go to the store
and think like I want to throw something in or
(24:38):
I'm driving home like man's stuff by Taco Bell that
there used.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
To be though, I mean, it shows how far you've come, right,
like mine's mostly there, Like I shockingly, I haven't had
Taco Bell in three months?
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Who am I talking about? Like that was my go
to And now.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Even with the sweet treats I'll try, I won't over
indulge in them. Now now it's like I just want,
you know, I want a little bit or like Thanksgiving
I had. I think I ate three meals total over
Thanksgiving stuff, Like normally I would eat it every single
day until like the food's gone, you know what I mean.
And I still am I'm bad about that. I don't
like wasting food. I'm not a like I'll try and
(25:18):
eat everything before it goes bad, because I just don't
like wasting stuff. And my boyfriends had to be like Morgan,
that's been in there for like a week, I think
we need to throw that away and I'm.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Like, no it so you're like trying to eat it all.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
And so that was kind of how I feel about
Thanksgiving left ards. So I'm also trying to rewrite that
where I'm like, it's okay, you can get rid of it.
But I've gotten a lot better where now I just
taste things and I try them instead of having fifteen
sugar cookies that I didn't need.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
So I'm hoping to be where you are next year
because that would be cool. That's probably a cool place
to be.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Where you just like you have complete control over what
you want to have, and when you do want something,
you'll have it.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
But it's not a craving. It's like a Okay, yeah,
I'm good. I want to have that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I feel like those dogs whenever you put like a
treat in front of them and they're like so well
trained they don't even look at it. That's that's me.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
That's impressive because we all know the dogs on that.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Tree and if you say a treat and they eat it,
that's that's me.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And I'm the dog becau sees the trees like that
and goes crazy. It's like, give me more. That's my dog.
So that tracks.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, take one more quick break, and we're gonna come
back and talk about our our personal wraps for the years.
So we're gonna talk about some top foods. Okay, how
many minutes you maybe watch TV? Which we're not going
to have exact numbers, saying this is kind of a guess,
so we'll be right back. There's companies all over the
place that are talking about they're like, you know, find
out how they're twenty twenty five looked. So I want
(26:39):
to talk about our twenty twenty five years. What did
your twenty twenty five look in the aspect of top foods?
Give me your top three foods that you think you
consume this year.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Should I go three two one or start at one,
whichever you want. I know my number one food that
I eat way too much that other people probably don't
eat as much as I do. As dates. I think
that's my number one snack I love. I buy a
big thing dates every single week, and you just eat them,
plain plain on the weekend. Sometimes I'll put a little
peanut butter or I think my wife has some oat butter.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Okay, yeah, some kind of nut butter, and it tastes delicious.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
It tastes like to me, it tastes like a doughnut.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Okay, those are good.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Have you added flaky sy salt to the almond butter
or whatever butter you're adding.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
No, I don't really like salt.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Gosh, you're so good at this sweet.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
And SALTYA has never been even when I yeah, I
don't understand the appeal of that.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
You hurt my heart. Okay, that a good one. Dates
Number one.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Number two is probably some kind of fig bar is
what I eat a lot of when I just need
something quick.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Those are your breakfasts typically, Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I ate that literally before coming in here.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
You're really going to figure out everybody's breakfasts because they're
all pretty normal, like we do in some.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Kind of protein bar or some kind of fig bar.
But I enjoy the fig bar better.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Isn't like Nature's Bakery or something that one.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
And then I just tried a new one. I don't
even know the name of it, but they're they're really
good too, and they're like a little bit more bite size.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I'm very observate. I see a lot of things. Okay,
all right, fig And then.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Number three three overall is just caffeine coffee?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh yeah, could you always bring in your like water
bottle full of coffee? Right?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well, that is water? Okay, if I drink that much coffee,
that'd be crazy. I drink my coffee before I even
walk in the studio, but I'll have my sixteen ounce
before the show, and then I have my afternoon coffee
later in the day.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, so that might as well be a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Mic we might as well. But the other one is
like twenty four ounces. But I mean, I tell you,
do you drink about close to twenty four ounces?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I was gonna say, you said sixteen is the first one,
and then you said another wondering how much is the
one in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Like a mug.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No, it's like a ten ounce cans twenty four mic
unless I go to Starbucks and then I get the
thirty ounce.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Then even more than that, you've made water bottle seem
like it was crazy. But that's how much you're consuming today,
all right, those are good ones.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I think mine. Number one has been chickpeas.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I have been devouring chickpeace in brownies, in soups, and
just full blown dishes.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I found every way to change a chickpea.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I like a crunchy chickpee.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh see, those are good.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
A crunchy chicken and a salad that's bomb. Chick beas
have been my guy this year. I don't know why,
but I've been. I found him in every recipe. And
number two, let's see, I feel like a big one
for this lately, has been soup. I've really, even even
in summer, I was eating soup.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I don't ask me why you around food.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
I just don't a winter girly, you know, I'm just
really not a summer girly. I like the winter.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I like being cozy and comfort, and soup is comfort
to me. And I've found so many soup dishes that
I really like, especially in the last several months, so soup.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I don't think I can eat soup anymore. It just
takes me back to when all we could afford was soup.
So to me, soup feels like like loneliness and like sorrow. Okay,
but man, I really want bird King right now? Movie
got soup?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
So is it like sad soup?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Is soup?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Sad soup? These are like suits that you make and
you add a whole bunch.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Of things in maybe alphabet suit. I guess I just
don't have a real relationship with soup that's like good soup.
That's why I was like people order soup at restaurants, like,
why would you get depressing soup? I didn't realize it's
something that could be good.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
It is, Okay, I need to send you my vegan
potato soup and you would love it.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Maybe like my mom would make an elevated version of
soup with like actual meat and other things in it.
But I didn't really see that as soup. I think
some people would. But just like straight up soup, I'm like,
this is sad to me.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Well, I guess because you're having sad soup.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
So I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
We need to do some good, hearty soups, and I
need you to make the vegan potato soup because I
think you would really like it.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
And I would be honored if that changed your It's
not my restaurant.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
I just found it, but I'd be honored if that
helped change your narrative on soup. E we won and
then gosh my number three hmmm, well, I mean it's
probably a drink for me too. In the last six months,
I've consumed this more than anything else, really, because I've
really tried to hold back on drinking alcohol.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
As ollipops, ah, I couldn't really get into.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Those, so I can't get into most of them, but
that great flavor.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Has me in choke hold.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
Maybe I just had a bad flavor.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, I think there is some bad ones, because I've
had other ones.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
When the grape was ran out and I got really sad,
I was like, this tastes like crap, but the lollipop
grape flavor, granted, I love great flavored things. I don't
know if that's a weird thing. Do you like greape
flavored stuff?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Again? Kind of reminds me of being broke.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
So what you're telling me, is my diet about of
a child. I'm saying this right now.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Okay, well, ollipop grape is the top tier flavor in
my opinion, and I haven't draining it a lot of it.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
As far as flavors from my childhood, I think I
associate great with being Oh yeah, it was grape.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Left, like for like a grape popstick.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Like I think of like when I'd go to party,
like kid parties when I was a kid, and they
had all just like the random generic flavored soda. Oh
and all like the colas are gone, the sprites were gone.
It was always like grape soda that was left because
nobody was too excited. I'd be drinking like a welches
and like it's left.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
That's funny. Okay, I'm sorry, my two shirt stuff for you.
How many minutes.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Do you think you watch TV or movies? And we're
going generic, We don't really have a good number.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I know about how many movies I watched this year, Okay,
I think it was about one hundred and fifteen.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Because I keep a long running list of everything that
I watch and review, and that's just new movies. I
don't really well, I think the one to fifteen is
maybe total, because sometimes I don't factor in the reviews
of like things I rewatch or maybe something old that
I watch for the first time. Okay, but I think
I've seen one hundred and fifteen new movies.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
This year, Okay, and I'm gonna times that by two
because that's relatively each one is nearly two hours. We're
just gonna yeah, i'meralize it's about two hundred and thirty.
That doesn't seem right. That doesn't seem right. Wait minutes, Yeah,
that doesn't feel like enough. First, because each one is
sixty minutes. That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
I don't like math.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
You guys are seeing in real time. B was the
only I only got a B in math. I'm the
only subject because I sucked at it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
These thirteen minutes, thank you. It's a lot of minutes,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
And that's just in movies.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Just in movies. Yeah, TV shows. I don't even know
how many shows I've watched this year, right, probably a
series or two a month.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I feel like I'm the same way. I don't think
I've watched as many movies as you because you'll sometimes
like triple them up on a Saturday I would say
I'm probably somewhere about like seventy movies.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It's a lot.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, I watch a lot of TV.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
And it's also like it's including all the things in
background that i'm watching too, right like because when I'm
at homeworking, everything's on the TV, so I also including
the ones that I specifically make sure to watch.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
So I would say I'm about like three fourths of yours.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
That's still a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's still a lot, but yours is a lot. Although
that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
At minimum three new movies a week, that's just minimum.
That's a normal week.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Also fair though, because you do have a movie podcast,
so I can't give you a two heart of a
time about that, but that's wild. It's a lot of minutes.
Do you like see that number? You're like, I could
have done a lot with those of a lot. How
many scams did you fall for in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (34:29):
I think this year I am scam free.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Not a single one.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
I don't think, not a single one.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I think I almost fell for two, Mike, I didn't,
but they almost had me on two. One was like
the hacker on PayPal, and I feel like, oh.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
I remember that you saw it?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
In real time, right, yeah, and I stopped him. It
was like a whole dramatic scene. I was so proud
of myself, but I think they're way. It happened because
I was playing a game on my phone called travel
Town that I really like to play, and there's a
Facebook page where you can go and you can get
more energy, and it's a legit Facebook pa it's.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
The company that has this game.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Well, people can post on that page, and I think
somebody realized that if you like to get their extra energy,
you click their link, which is that company's link. I
was always very good about that, but they started getting
like floated into my feed and it was a scammer,
I think. And it was a scam.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Link because I was trying to get more.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Energy energy so bad, and I was like, there's no
because it was right around that PayPal hack, so I'm
like it had to have been that link. What was
crazy though, is I was like as soon as I
clicked into I was like, no, no, no, I don't know
what that is. And I like tried to go backward,
but I think I was too late just even clicking it. Yeah,
(35:44):
how long, So I think at least one and then
There was another one where I got a text message
and I panicked. It was just recently actually, and it
was like, you have one hundred and eighty eight dollars
left on a bill, a medical bill outstanding, and like
we don't want to send it to collections or whatever.
And I panicked, thankfully though, and it panicked to them.
I called the medical office, where I was like, oh, yeah, no,
(36:06):
you don't have a bill.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
And I was like cool.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
The one that almost gets me no matter how often
I see it is there's a Facebook one whenever they're like,
oh no, I can't believe they died, and they're like,
wait who died? And you want to click the link
like it's a news story. That one always gets me,
Like I don't click it, but for a second, I'm
like should I click it? Oh it's a scam?
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, this is so funny you say that. My mom
felt for that one.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah, it's it'll get you, Like even if you're like
vigilant about that, there's something about that curiosity because the
post is so unassuming yep, and it just kind of
teases you with that clickbait like oh yeah, so sad
and who died?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
This is how it happened for my mom was like
somebody she's known for decades posted it, so their account
got hacked and post it was like you'll never get
who died or whatever. And I see my mom calming
on it and was like, well, who is it?
Speaker 3 (36:58):
And I like talked to her the next day She's like, yeah, cleared.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
I was like, no, you didn't, and she got hacked
on her razor bade change.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
So that did remind me that my TikTok did get
hacked this year.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Oh my gosh, yeah, but you got it back.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I got it back, but I don't know what. I
don't know how it happened. Like I know, ended up
figuring out what country it was from and what they
wanted to do, which they got in changed, my username changed,
my profile changed, like the email just completely took it
over so much so they would not even have any
remnants of like me ever owning that account because they
(37:33):
what they do is they do that so they can
turn around and turn it into a TikTok shop yep.
And they were applying for it, trying to get it
approved and luckily it never got approved and I was
able to get it back.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, that was and that was happening in the early
morning hours too.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yeah, because we were messaging.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
About I was like, okay, I got it. I will
wake up a little bit so we can see if
we can help Mike. But I'm glad you ended up
getting it back. That was crazy. Lunchbox never got his
Twitter account back.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Yeah, that was gone.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
We tried.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
But also Twitter's dumpster fire, so I didn't anticipate getting
it back. There's not like a support to reach out to.
I don't really have anybody there. I'm just like sorry,
it literally is this a crazy social media platform right now?
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Your top online purchases.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
I don't really buy a whole lot of stuff online.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
What no, do you guys having stores? Yeah, okay, okay,
we'll do just top purchases.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Okay, cause I'm not really Here's the thing, I don't
really spend money. Well that's a good quality that I
don't really find enjoyment out of buying things.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I think about whenever I moved to Nashville and got
rid of all my things coming here. That was kind
of a me having a I don't really need possessions
type thing. Like there was something sobering about filling up
my car with everything that I own and thinking like
this really doesn't add up too much, and like I
could just it was so easy for me to dump
(38:57):
whatever little things I had into a dumpster because I
was like this, this is worthless to me. That I
kind of not a hoarder. Yeah, that I kind of
had like this minimalist approach to life after that of
like I don't really need things. I like that though.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
I think that's a really cool thing, especially in a
consumer based economy right now, So I think that's something
I think.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It also just takes a lot for me to pull
the trigger on a purchase where I'm like do I
really need this? How am I going to see this
in a month? Am I still going to want it?
But I would say my number one thing that I
do spend money on is probably comic books. Okay, yeah,
like this this year, I found a lot of joy
in going like every week to New Comic Book Day
(39:36):
and getting comics. And I'd probably spend maybe on a
good week if a lot of good stuff came out,
it could be like thirty bucks a week.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I thought you're about to say, like three hundred, No,
thirty thirty is nothing, MiG, I mean that's a good
number for even the thing that you find the most.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Joy and like on a light week when maybe only
a couple comics come out like ten bucks a week.
And I've kind of slowed down even on that just
because I got to a point where it fe like
I was having to keep up with it, and I
was like, I'll take a little bit of break.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah, Okay, comic books is a good one, and it's
also turned into something you use too as your background
with your podcast, so it technically might be a business expense.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
But I read them and then put them up.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
I like it.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Okay. Two others I.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Guess clothes, but I've seen that more as an investment,
like we were talking about earlier.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
M hm.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
But again with that, I have to like overthink every purchase,
and I'm like, am I like this? I My wife
hates going to shop with me because I'll go with
the intent of getting something and not I'm like, if
I don't fully love it, I'm not going to buy it,
because then I know that I'm not gonna wear it.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Okay, but that's a great mentality to have.
Speaker 2 (40:46):
My boyfriend's kind of been revamping his style and stuff too,
And I always I'm like, if you do not love it,
do not buy this. I don't care if I love it,
you are the one that's going to choose it and
get it out of the closet and wear it.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
So do you love it? Great?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Get it? Because for a while I was taking her
suggestions on like what she thought I would look good in,
and I was open to that. I tried that, but
then I realized, if I don't feel comfortable in it,
like I'm just not gonna wear it. Yep. I was like,
I'm just not. I know instantly when I put something on,
like if it feels like, oh, this is a perfect fit,
I can't convince myself otherwise if I don't get that feeling.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Yeah, And I think guys naturally have a little bit
easier with their clothes.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Don't change quite as much in style wise.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I've learned, Oh, I though you meant fitting wise. Oh
that's the whole thing I've had to learn.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Not too But also, just like our style, women's style
seems to change every three months, right, there's something new,
there's a new trend where guys, I feel like it's
maybe once a year, maybe maybe every other year. So
at least you know the things that you like. You
don't constantly have things being added in to be like
do I like this?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Do I like that?
Speaker 2 (41:52):
And your guys's trends aren't dramatic shifts like we went
from skinny jeans to wide leg jeans to barrel jeans
and span about three years.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
But guys, they're still over there with like a little
bit bigger than skinny.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Jeans, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
So it might make that process a little bit easier.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
I would think I could be wrong, though, I don't know,
But at least it's like something that you guys can
can do together and you know for sure, like yes
this or no not that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
That's a good quality to have. There's a lot of
people I go in there a lot. I'm like, I
don't know. My mom had to teach me that. She's like,
do you love it? You don't love it? You're not
gonna pick it out of the closet and wear it.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
And she was right right, Who was that mando?
Speaker 3 (42:36):
I was getting there?
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Okay, I think I think that's it. I think we're
wrapping for today. Oh okay, well not something funny? What
is the thing that you are not looking forward to
about the holidays, because we talked about all exciting things
like and.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
We will have already experienced this at this point.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
But mine, and I'll give you minds, is that I'm
dreading the eleven hour road trip to Kansas and back
from Kansas. I love being there, it's great, but that
twenty two hour drive in the midst of everything is brutal.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
That is a that's a road trip, Like that is
I think anything over six hours I consider a road trip. Yeah,
that is like a hole.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, because right at the six hour point, you're like, dang,
we still got fire.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
If it ever gets to a point where it's like
this has been a while and you're only halfway through,
that is a road trip.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
Mm hmm exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
So what is your thing that you're not looking forward
to about the holidays that are currently happening.
Speaker 1 (43:27):
Luckily, my trip is pretty easy. It's like a two
hour flying so I don't have to worry a whole
lot about that. My thing is I wake up so
early naturally. I hate that period of time when I'm
the only one awake because I don't know what to do.
I'm at somebody else's house, and I'm like, I don't
feel fully comfortable here, Like do I get out of bed?
My staying but I go turn on the TV? Do
(43:48):
I go make a cup of coffee? Do I get
out of the house? Like what do I do? Oh?
Speaker 3 (43:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:53):
Are you getting to a point now that where you're
a little bit more comfortable or still?
Speaker 1 (43:57):
No? No, I don't think.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
So.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
How long have you and your wife been together?
Speaker 1 (44:01):
Now? Since twenty eighteen? So seven years going on? Right?
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Because I'm assuming at your house? Do you feel more
comfortable when you were like staying with your parents?
Speaker 1 (44:11):
Yeah, but I've ever been like sometimes it feels I'm
still not like.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
You went in your parents' house.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Yeah, because we're this year, we're going to my sister's house, okay,
and I still feel like, do I turn on the TV?
Like what what can I do here? Because it's different
like at my parents because like I live there. Yeah,
I didn't live at my sister's house, so it still
feels like I'm at her house and it's still we're
like getting up and making noise when everybody else is
still asleep. I just find like that time, like do
I I end up just laying in bed and watching
(44:38):
TikTok for a while until everybody else wakes up.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
It doesn't wait for everybody. How many hours does it
take to at least another person to wake up?
Speaker 1 (44:44):
I mean, luckily my mom wakes up. Semi earl is too,
so maybe it's like another hour until she wakes up.
So then I just have somebody to like to talk
to or like game plan with.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Yeah, and you can't turn off that internal body clock. Yeah,
that's just gonna be what it is.
Speaker 1 (44:58):
But at my wife's like, it could be three to
four hours before anybody else wakes up.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
Oh that's brutal. You watch a lot of TikTok, you
know a lot about what's happening in the world.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
By the time everybody wakes up, I turn into an
iPad kid and just watch stuff on my iPad.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
You gotta get yourself like a game that you can
start playing in bed, you know.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Oh, yeah, I'll take my switch.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Yeah, that's what you start doing, so that at least
you have two different technology items to go back and
forth between. Well, Mike, thanks for being on. Tell the
