Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey guys, Sunday Sampler time.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We're giving you some highlights from some of the Nashville
Podcast Network podcasts, and also there are really no new
podcast today anyway, because it's Sunday. You're gonna like the Bobbycast.
I sat down with a really prolific, very famous he's
killing her right now songwriter and producer who did the
Morgan wall and stuff a bunch of that the post
Malone record in the vet's office with doctor Josie. She
(00:31):
talked to an er vet, which is crazy. On Take
This Personally, which is Morgan's podcast, Morgan's good friend and
country artist Julia Cole came by and they talked about heartbreak.
Julia lets people in under broken off engagement. For the
first time, Morgan talked about her breakup, so let's start
with that. Here's a clip of this week's episode of
Take This Personally.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Personal Jewels.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I'm dubbing this the heartbreak episode because I have known
Julia my entire Nashville life. She was one of my
very first friends here. You guys may know miss Julia
Cole as a very famous artist in Nashville, has lots
of followings on TikTok and Instagram and viral videos and
she's just a giant star. But she's my good friend
(01:35):
and all I know her as is Julia. And the
crazy thing though for Julian and I is we've both
seen each other through some really really tough relationships.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Yes, we've had to milk some some heartbreaks and have
some girls' nights out to solve art problems. So I've
had a lot of conversations with people after this in
this past year, and I've had people telling me that
you're you're supposed to date multiple people. Obviously you're not
going to a certain level here. This is like going
to dinners, going to coffees like you're supposed to, you know,
(02:10):
meet different people until you've decided that you really really
like someone.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
I've never in my.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Life felt like I could do that because it felt
like like loyalty is something so important to me and
so so special that it was like, oh, well, if
I'm even texting this person, I should probably not be
texting anybody else.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And that is like, I.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Mean, I honestly like to know people's opinions on that
and your opinion on that, because I really don't know,
like what's the standard this is not. This isn't courting
like it was back in our grandparents' day and age,
where you date you know ten different people at once
and then like all of a sudden, one would just
like propose and you get married.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I have multiple things on this one. I don't think
it's a bad thing that you want to be fiercely loyal.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
I have that in me.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
I'm going to date somebody and I'm going to do
everything in my power to make sure that that person
feels all of that loyalty all the time. Yeah, and
I've never cheated on anybody. I don't have that capability
in my bone.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
It doesn't make much sense, does it.
Speaker 8 (03:09):
No, Like just breaking it will never I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I just literally just break up the person on the date.
Just call me and say hate it's over. I'd be like, okay,
I'm gonna crime about.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Like math like whatever.
Speaker 9 (03:20):
Stupid.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
But I do think dating people is important. I have
gone on so many dates in my life, and I'm
not talking like even third, fourth, fifth dates. I'm talking
about first, second, third, dates. I've been on so many
because I wanted to learn what I wanted. And this
(03:42):
is a really interesting thing that got like brought up
that will that will spiral into this. I learned so
much about myself by dating other people of different cultures,
of different religions, of different backgrounds, of different upbrings.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
I learned so many.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Things of what I wanted, what I didn't want, and
I could narrow that down so heavily that that's why
it's so hard for me now to date, because I
know fiercely what I want. All of those multiple dates
of saying my favorite color, and walking through the small
talk and saying yes.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
I'm very where'd you go to college?
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, let's go through them a million times over, and
as much as they sucked, and I hated getting dressed
up and I hated getting ready just to have something fail.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Maybe again, maybe be nice, maybe be a waste of
your two hours.
Speaker 7 (04:33):
Yeah I did.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
I did kind of change my mentality when I was dating,
probably my mid twenties, where I was like, I'm doing everything.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
For the plot.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
My whole life became I'm doing it for the plot.
Because I genuinely could not go on dates and like
not think I was getting punked by Ashton Kutcher. There
were moments where I was like, this isn't real there's
no way. But it was so when I would leave
those I'd be like, I did it for the plot.
Great story, great story.
Speaker 10 (05:00):
Never again.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah, but I learned so much about who I was.
And it's funny because I had this conversation with.
Speaker 8 (05:06):
My sister on the phone.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I said, I'm so tired of being these men lessons
and I'm the heartbreak. Yeah, Like, why am I the
one who I took all the time. I didn't hurt anybody,
and I took all the time to figure out stuff
about myself. But these men come in relationships with me
and I have to be the one how they get
(05:30):
their lesson. I'm this emotional punching bag for them to just.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Figure things out.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
I think we go into relationships this day and age
so carelessly.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I think dating stops that.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
I think going on dates casually stops you from going
in half hearted or not knowing what you want. Like
when all those people were saying you should love yourself
before you're in a relationship, I think we almost had
it right because I think you can love yourself in
a relationship. I think you can learn self love with
friends with a partner. I don't know that you nessa
I need to be completed in self love to be
(06:09):
in a relationship.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
I think you need to know yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Oh yeah, fundamentally, yes, your non negotiables, your boundaries, what
you stand for, who you are as a human being, because.
Speaker 9 (06:23):
So many people don't.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
I think you have to grow up a little bit
to know all of that. Yeah, And I'm seeing a
lot of people, you know, dive in super young. I'm
from the South, I'm from Texas. Like, I know a
lot of people who got married super young, and it's
like I am not the same person that I was
(06:45):
even two years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You're listening to in the VETS office with doctor Josie Hrschak.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Now, I figured we can really dive into all things wellness.
I want to keep it simple but still feel like
people get informed. And so I thought we would be
good to like break it down into two sections. So
I figure the first section, we can just talk about vaccines, Like,
what in the heck are these vaccines that are being
recommended to me? I feel like we just come in
and we're like they're due for X, Y and Z,
and people are just like okay, yeah, like you say,
(07:23):
so let's do it. But I feel like it's good
to understand why your pet is getting these vaccinations. So
the first, the big one, the big shebang, the like
non negotiable for me, is the raby's vaccine.
Speaker 10 (07:35):
Definitely. I think most of our clients, if they're going
to know any vaccine, it's going to be the rabies vaccine.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
And the thing for me is that I didn't realize
really until I got to VET school. Was like, rabies
is real. You hear about it and you're like, we
don't see that anymore, Like that's from like old Yeller,
like a decade ago, but like it's real. We just
had a case here in Tennessee. And if you contract
rabies as a human and you don't get treated right away,
like you will die. There is not a cure, and
(08:05):
we see it.
Speaker 10 (08:05):
Yeah, I saw a case of rabies in the er
when I was working there.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
That's terrifying.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah, terrifying.
Speaker 10 (08:12):
And I also think I guess I didn't really understand
this until I was like practicing in general practice too.
But like, this vaccine is required by the state. Yes,
I don't think it's required by all states, but in Tennessee,
it is required for you to vaccinate your dog or
your cat by six months of age. Yeah, and if
you don't and they find out it's a class cy misdemeanor,
(08:33):
I don't know that either.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
So yeah, it's the law.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
It's the law. It's really important. It's a public health risk.
And if you don't do it, like we kind of
have to look like the bad guys. We were like, Okay,
you don't have to. We can't force you into it,
but you have to understand the ramifications of it, and
you have to like sign a document. So it's a
big deal. What was the case that you saw in
the er that had rabies? It was actually rabies.
Speaker 10 (09:00):
Was not at the top of anyone's list thinking this
dog had rabies because again, no one actually understands that
it's real.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
This dog came in for.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Seizures and it was just neurological and in the er,
like we saw seizures once a day. Yeah, so having
a dog come in for seizures is not abnormal. So
we kind of just went through the normal protocol of
getting the dog hospitalized, getting them started on seizure meds,
(09:29):
and along the line, a lot of people came in
contact with this dog and the dog just wasn't responding
to any of the seizure meds, which is unusual, especially
for a dog presenting for seizures right the first time.
So the neurology service ended up getting involved, and the
only way to test for rabies, unfortunately in dogs, is
(09:53):
by testing a piece of their brain tissue, and so
oftentimes we don't get a diagnosis until they're already deceased.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Yeah, just for all of you out there, like, I know,
this is gruesome, but the reality is, like we have
to cut their head off and send it into the lab.
That's how we test for it. So it's not an
easy test. And if there is any suspicion that your
pet has rabies, like that's the way we test for it,
So even more reason to get them vaccinated.
Speaker 11 (10:18):
Right.
Speaker 10 (10:19):
So this dog ended up being hospitalized for a while,
coming into contact with a lot of different staff members,
and then it ended up I think being euthanized because
it wasn't responding. And then we found out later that
she wasn't up to date on her rabies vaccine and
so she was sent for testing, came back positive, and
(10:41):
anyone who was in contact with her had to get
the rabies prophylaxis vaccine treatment, which is intense and expensive,
very expensive.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Yeah, I don't think your insurance covers that.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
So very scary, very scary, because I mean, just coming
into contact with the saliva of a dog who's seizing
is very easy, very easy. And Rabi's is transmitted most
commonly through bites but through body leaf fluids.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
So very very scary, very real. Another thing I hear
owners say is, oh, well, my dog doesn't really go outside,
and you just had a case or someone in the
hospital had a case last week of a cat having
a bat in its mouth. Yep, that got in the house.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
It wasn't my case, but yeah, indoor only cat. So
most people would be like, why do I need a
vaccine my indoor only cat for rabies? But the family
I guess saw the cat with a live bat in
its mouth.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
He's like running by, like hey, guys, like what I got?
Speaker 10 (11:41):
And bats are the number one having.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Carrier of rabies.
Speaker 10 (11:45):
So that cat had to come into the hospital and
get boosted for its Raby's vaccine, even though it was
up to date. We boosted them early and then yeah,
not only for the safety of the pets, but like
if you have kids in your home, and your cat
gets raby.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
He's like, you know, it's trouble.
Speaker 10 (12:02):
Yeah, you got to vaccinate them so that we can
be protected as well, because vaccination against rabies and people
is not common.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
No, I found them to be very sweet. I think
that's a great word. Like I think I've had three
(12:32):
occasions where I've spent more than three minutes with them. Yeah,
and very like sweet and kind feeling. And he felt
like he was sensitive to what I wanted to talk
about or And I did not expect that from somebody
who was it didn't matter who it was, but somebody
was just so wildly famous.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
You know, having been around other people that are famous,
it's usually not that way. A lot of times you'll
know this better than anyone. People that are wildly famous
are they're that way because they demand all the attention.
It's very much a me centric world in the world
of entertainment. But I did not that any time that
I was with him, I did not find that at all. Yeah,
which was extremely different than what I was used to do.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, I would say he kind of stuck with that too.
I mean he's the same and he, you know, is
just like conscious of the people around him and you know,
obviously a big yes ma'am, yes sair to everybody, making
sure you know. He'll also sign more autographs than most people,
Like he'll sit there and do it for everybody, Whereas
it's like, you know, I've been with a lot of
artists who you know, you got to leave, you gotta
(13:34):
go to the next thing, which is not even anything
bad on them, they're actually busy.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
He came and played the Rhyman Show with me. Was
super cool, and he stayed longer than any other artist.
He took pictures with every person, and I posted about
it and I was like, and a little bit it
was to some of these guys that won't do anything.
It's like, you got a guy that's twenty x famous
than you. Yeah, and he spent time with every single
(14:01):
person that has stayed back to say hello and again
I found that to be super cool. I'm assuming you
guys still work well together. I mean, you're doing the
record as we talk. It's not out yet, but by
the time this is hurt, it is out. And so
how long how many years have you guys worked together?
Speaker 10 (14:17):
Now?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
A long time?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, technically a long time. We definitely spend some time
not working together as well, got it, but that'd being
the case.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
How long have you been known?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, we started working. We probably did our first song
either late twenty fourteen or early twenty fifteen.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Ten years. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So twenty fifteen, we were like locked in really doing
a lot of stuff. You know, technically, I don't know
where it says it. I guess you got to buy
the physical copy of his first album. Technically I'm an
executive producer on that album. I don't really do all
the work necessary necessary, like toy executive producer. But that
was kind of where we were locked in on his
(14:54):
first album. And then you know, kind of went separate
ways for a little bit, and then you know, I
caught I think I put a song on his album
two albums ago. It was a random song that I
sent them, you know, But we weren't you know, we
weren't actually working as much. I was living in Nashville
doing my thing. He was doing his thing. And then
(15:16):
we had talked about doing the country album back in
twenty fifteen, and you know, I go back and forth
on Power Manifestation Ship, but we did say album six.
That was the conversation where like your sixth album could
be country and you could do a pull a reverse
Taylor Swift and like be the biggest pop star and
then do a country album. So when he asked me
(15:38):
to do this album, it was cool because I was
just like, wait a minute, how many albums have you had?
He's like five. I was like, shit, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
What do you mean you go back and forth on
the manifestation? Oh, what are your two areas you live in?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
No, just some of it doesn't really make sense. I
understand that if you're saying something thinking about it, you'll
actively start making moves towards it, But some of it's
just kind of ridiculous, like it and it feels like
it shouldn't be real.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
But it might be.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Yeah, but it might be. And that's why I don't like.
Then I get into these weird who's got stronger manifestation?
If we're both manifesting the opposite. I started looking at that.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, and I think that too, like if two people
are praying opposite things, yeah, even in that way, like
who wins?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Yeah. It's like so sometimes like someone will say something
to me and I'll be like, yo, like you know,
take that back. You don't say that you know, yeah,
or like I'll be like, oh, your manifestation powers weeks.
I'm not worried because like people will say some shit,
you know.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, I think about too, And again this is just
my weird brain going down places that I probably spend
way too much time that actually makes nothing good for me.
But I'll think about either if it's manifestation or prayer
or however you want to even describe that, that that
communication within yourself or to others. But I'll see somethody
(16:52):
on Facebook, like, hey, we could use all these prayers,
but all these what's the number that it becomes? Is
all these more than one? One? If it's just one,
does one count as equal as all these?
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Interesting?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I think about that a lot, because you know, if
you get ten thousand people to pray for something, does
that mean it's more powerful than if you just prayed
for it by yourself. And if so, we need to
get a prayer, go fund me just for the bigger
causes then and get more people. So, yeah, I get
tired thinking about stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Like that's interesting. And it's also that you bring up
prayer because it's a separate thing, because I'll pray too,
But I don't almost exclusively. I don't ask for anything
in prayer like you. I'll pray more for a situation.
Uh okay, rephrase. I'll ask for something for somebody who
maybe is hurt, or somebody who maybe is going through
some shit but you know, or a safety thing but
(17:40):
it's not. It's never like, Man, can I get a
number one song I about asking for shit like that.
Speaker 9 (18:01):
Little food for yourself life?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh it's pretty, but it's pretty beautiful, man, beautiful that for.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
A little mouth's.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Said.
Speaker 9 (18:14):
He you're kicking it with full with Amy Brown.
Speaker 12 (18:19):
I think that everyone's been through different seasons of life
where they get stuck, maybe in a pattern or cycle
where they can realize there's a lot of negativity happening.
But once you can make that shift, you can really
see the difference. Even just believing that what does this
circumstance make possible? Believing that something can come from this,
(18:41):
some sort of growth, some sort of change that is
going to be positive. Of course, I didn't want my
mother to have cancer. I didn't want to lose her,
but a lot of amazing things came from that. I
can't even think back to my childhood. I didn't want
my parents to get divorced, but a lot of amazing
things happened from that. My mom's life was completely transformed
because of the divorce. That's when we finally started going
(19:01):
to church. We didn't go before that, and then she
became a completely different person not being able to get pregnant.
Now I've got two beautiful adopted children now seventeen and fourteen.
And things that seemed negative and hard, but what did
they make possible? And I think just maintaining that faith,
that hope that there's a bigger picture here that's.
Speaker 11 (19:23):
Right, and if you can find a way to put
yourself at a different point in the story when you're suffering,
like what you just said, is it turns out to
be true that all the research that looks at suffering
and cancer patients are a great example, has been well
studied where a huge majority, like way more than you
can imagine, of people who are going through cancer, even
that ultimately succumbed to it, say things like what you
(19:44):
just described with your mother, that they actually find that
they've grown through it, they've found purpose through it, that
their lives had become enriched by it. So it's almost
like suffering is not optional. If you want to be
a really well rounded and fully developed human, it's almost necessary.
I have to go through hard things if you want
to become a really fully developed person. And so we
(20:05):
find gratitude through those hard moments because we recognize that
they've given us experiences and opportunities to change and grow
and learn and connect with other people in ways that
we wouldn't have been able to do if we hadn't
gone through suffering. And it's interesting because, just like we
talked about while ago with quantum physics, like this idea
that two things can be true at the same time,
Like it's never going to be okay that I lost
(20:27):
my son, Like I'm just as sad and broken about
that eleven years after it happened than I was the
day it happened. You're not okay with you losing your mom,
and you never will be. But at the same time,
it is true that I've grown, I've written books, I've
connected with people all over the world, like a lot
of the things that I am. I'm a much more
compassionate physician and husband and father and grandfather now than
(20:48):
I was before I lost my son. All of that
because of having suffered so doesn't make it good, doesn't
make it right. You would trade it all for having
your mom back, or I'd trade it all for having
my son back. That sort of secret sauce of life,
it turns out to be this meaning that we find
because we navigated through something hard. And on the brain
science side, it's true too, Like you look at what
(21:10):
makes resilience in the brain's this area called the mid
anterior singula, and what they find is when you do
hard things, it becomes easier for you to do hard
things in the future, like all across the board. So
you do something that's hard, even if you don't want to,
your brain gets more resilient and you develop more willpower
and you find more sort of joy in engaging in
hard things the next time. So it's almost like you
(21:32):
start saying, I'm ready for the next thing that's hurt,
that it's going to hurt because I know I can
get through it because I've done it before.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Is there a magic number of how many times we
have to do something for that new neural pathway to
be built or is it different for everybody?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Well, it's different for everybody.
Speaker 11 (21:48):
But on the basic physiology side, there's a structure in
your brain called microtubules, and that's the stuff that makes
new synapses, the little building blocks of new synapses, and
they start happening within minutes of you trying something new
or doing something new. So that's why we always say
on my show, like thoughts become things, because when you
think about something, you actually make something in your brain structurally,
(22:10):
make changes in your brain. And what happens is within
minutes you start laying down what's going to become ultimately
the high way towards making a new habit or making
a new process. But if you don't use it, continue
to use that new thing, it disappears within about three weeks,
and so in order to ingrain it and make it permanent,
you have to engage in that thing over and over
and over for a while. Some people say twenty one days.
(22:33):
That's probably true for things that aren't sort of life
or death. That's probably longer. For things that are really hard,
like giving up smoking or something, probably takes longer than
twenty one days. But in terms of what's happening in
your brain, it starts almost instantly in the first hour
of you trying to make a change, a positive change
in your life. You're making it structurally in your brain.
So that's encouraging. It gives us hope because we feel
(22:54):
like we can't change, we feel like we're stuck. We
inherited the genes. We inherited, We went through the tryal
that we went through, and that means that we can
ever change what the truth is. As soon as you
start trying to change, your brain's right there with you.
Speaker 12 (23:06):
Well, so then that's epigenetics. We have the ability to
change certain parts. You're probably the better person to describe this,
but I think I have a fear inside of me
because both my parents had cancer that I'm going to
get cancer. And sometimes that is a thought that will
take over and I immediately have to squash it and
back up because just because they had it does not
(23:28):
mean I will. But if I keep having those thoughts,
then I'm increasing the likelihood of something negative happening.
Speaker 11 (23:35):
That's right, because so if you think about the big picture,
so epigenetics, if somebody is not familiar, is that the
things that we think about and certain things that we
go through and lifestyle choices can turn on or off genes.
So to speak up or down regulate genes is the
way the bio chemists call it. And what that means
is that the genetic material the inher for mom and
(23:55):
dad is not guaranteed to be expressed or turned true
in your life. So we know that from identical twin studies.
For example, identical twins often have very different length of
life and very different disease profiles that they get. And
it's because even though they have the same genetic starting point,
they don't have the same lives. And so what that
means is that your life has a lot of impact
and what genes get turned on and off. So if
(24:16):
both your parents have cancer, for example, and you spend
a lot of time worrying about that and stressing about it,
your cortisol level is going to rise, and the systems
in your body that fight cancer and do things on
your behalf to try to avoid cancer are going to
be depleted because you're spending so much time in a
negative biochemical state, and your thoughts are becoming those things
(24:36):
that are fighting against you and beating those cancer cells.
So it's true that you can spend time in your
brain thinking healthier thoughts and that will promote an environment
that's going to produce a better chemical environment to optimize
the epigenetic opportunities that you have to turn things on
and off and make your life as good as it
can be.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
We're going to do it live the one shoot three
Sore Losers. What up, everybody. I am lunchbox. I know
the most about sports, so I'll give you the sports facts,
my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a sports genius, y'all.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
I live on the North side of Nashville with Bayser,
my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops. Hopefully
soon corn pumpkins, rye. I believe maybe a little fescue
to be determined.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
Over to you, coach. And here's a clip from this
week's episode of The Sore Losers. Now they're going to
remodel it and make it the hard rock forgot Tropicana.
They're knocking, they're knocking down, They're a stadium is going there? Sorry, go.
So we go to this lava show, forty five minute
lava show, and I'm my hell yeah, hell yeah. And
(25:54):
we just happened to see it because it was in
the same parking lot as where we're eating at the
soup kitchen or whatever. At the soup kitchen. I mean
it sounds like such a party. What are you guys doing,
like pregame drinks?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
What?
Speaker 9 (26:04):
I had some beers and had some soup. What on
the soup kitchen sign enticed you guys have dinner. My
wife was doing research and someone on Reddit said, nine
months later, I'm still thinking about the soup. I had
the soup what a fucking was and I'm like, oh man,
this must be amazing freaking soup. I'll do crab. But
(26:28):
my wife is a she loves soup. Bin loves it.
Lobster bisk ah. Now they had lamb soup. They had
they eat a lot of lamb there because they have lamb.
They have more lambs sheep than they do humans in Iceland.
Where's my flock? I tied it up here. Hopefully parking
is good. That's kind of like what they saund me.
But that's Canadian a little bit. So we go to
the Lava show and I'm like, all right, and the
(26:48):
soup was okay, but it wasn't amazing. And I had
three different kinds and I had the corn and spinach.
I had the the fish curry one and some other one.
And then we go to the Lava Show and it's
in a room and they give you protective glasses you
know what I mean, because it's gonna get so freaking hot. Right,
we took off our clothes, so I'm like, forty five
minutes of lava here we go.
Speaker 11 (27:09):
All right.
Speaker 9 (27:10):
The lady closes the door, comes in. She starts talking, Hi,
my name is Rock Gel and I'm like, well, this
is about to be awesome. Nice to meet you. I'm Lunchbox.
She's like, welcome to the Lava Show, the only place
in the world where you can see real lava from
a volcano up close. And I'm like, she goes, it's
gonna get so hot tho, You're gonna need those goggles
to protect your eyes that and I'm like, hell yeah, honey,
(27:32):
take off your bra. So then she proceeded to stand
up there for fifteen minutes and give us a history
of the town and the volcanoes that have erupted in
that town. What the cleef? And I'm like, Okay, that's
fifteen minutes of my forty five. When are we gonna
get to the damn lava. Not bad. You still have
thirty minutes of lava. Then we have thirty minutes of lava.
She's like, honey, get ready to feel the l rumble
(27:54):
of the lava, and she goes, now, so before we
get to the lava, let me show you a video. No,
I'm not doing the tours with the damn video. Show
me three d bitch. Sorry, I'll delete that, and I'm like, okay,
So now we're gonna watch a video. So what was
the video rate? It was a fifteen minute video. We're
at thirty minutes now. It was a fifteen minute video
(28:16):
showing exactly what she just talked about. That's bulghit. So
she talked about the history of the town. Then they
made a little cartoon video for you to enjoy of
what she just told you about.
Speaker 14 (28:27):
Nice learning about your town. Like either way, just either pa,
show us the lava. Where's the I wanted to get
hot in here, hought in you sheeper boring maw.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
But I did learn if the volcano is going to
erupt all the tourists you meet at the church on
top of the hill, that's the evacuation plan, all right,
So where's the lava? Show exactly where is the lava show?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Raight?
Speaker 9 (28:50):
Oh? That was it? Fifteen minute video? All right? She goes,
all right, now should we get to the lava? And
so she does. It comes rolling out of this like
tube in the wall, and there's lava and she starts
picking it up with this stick. Now we're talking and
she's making little things and then it freezes and she's
cracking it and she's picking it up. The lava's touching me.
(29:13):
Then she brings out a big old ice thing piece
of ice and puts it in the lava and makes
it blow up like a big balloon. A science project
exactly what it was bro baking soda and food Colory, dude, No,
it was real lava. Saw this in second grade. It
was real lava. And she got your ass. Did you
feel the hot?
Speaker 10 (29:34):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:34):
I could feel the heat.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Man.
Speaker 9 (29:35):
So they must have just pumped the obviously the heater on. No, no,
they have the they have to warm up. So what
they do is they go get the right They actually
turned the heater like one hundred and ten. They pretty
much fucked us. No, No, they go get the rocks,
like the ash from like the actual volcanoes in the mountains.
And they bring it in and they reheat it up
and make it into lava. That's making it better. Awesome, Okay,
(29:56):
she played with the lava for ten minutes. Then the
show is over. See when you need it a little
bit more of that. Oh you think it is advertised
as a forty five minute lava show. Was it ever
lavaing or No? It was lava? No, no, it is lava.
It came out like lava, like it does out of
a volcano. Okay, that's pretty cool. I shouldn't have acted
it. It was pretty badass for ten minutes, but advertise it
as ten minutes. And then I get out. I don't
(30:18):
need to watch the damn video. She had the lava
like she's like having a rub on her. No, no,
she had a metal pool because it was so hot.
All right, she was fully naked. It was actually a
lava tit show. No no, And I'm like, wow, this
is amazing, dude, amazing. And we then we're leaving. We
(30:41):
got to drive to the hotel. We still got an
hour to drive to the hotel. And we get to
the hotel and I guess what, They're already closed. You
can't check in. Wait, it's here's a hotel. Oh yeah yeah,
but in Iceland nothing. It was only ten o'clock, but
they only stay on duty till eight. That's my biggest
fear of other countries. You never know when places closed,
and I'm like and everything, the lights are off, everything,
(31:02):
and we're like, how the hell do we get in
our room back in? How do we do this? We
already paid online? What do we do? Sleep under the volcano?
It's warm, So we bust out our flashlights and we're
looking under matt. We're looking. I mean we're looking. They're
gonna take the place. I know. That's what I was
worried about. Well no, shit, Like I'm going around the back,
(31:23):
like maybe there's a hidden door or something. You Americans
in your crime rates freeze. And then no, they don't
have police.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Man.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
I don't think they have guns. I don't think they
have anything. Over a nice one. It was it was
like there's no one there. It is empty. And so
then I, oh, wait, wait, what's that sign over there?
It's on one of the windows that says, oh, sorry,
we're not here to greet you, but we close at
eight pm. Just so you know, your cabin five D,
(31:50):
your key is in the door. Excuse me, anybody a
polar bear sleeping in there right now? Dude? So you
just go up and the key is in the door.
Quite The security says, no, that's how nice it is
in Iceland. They don't have any crime. They got nothing
on nest. They have no problem. They just left the
key in the door for us. What do you mean
you were robbed? I don't know. The door was open.
(32:12):
It was awesome. I was like, how cool is this Americans?
Of course we tried to break in a back door.
We're trying to break in a back door and they're like,
just go to your cabin, man. We left the key
in the door, and you look, and there was other
cabins that just had the key in the door. So
there was other families that hadn't arrived. Jet Honey, I'm
gonna go sleep in five A if you don't mind.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Hey, it's Mike d And this week a movie Mike's
Movie Podcast. My wife Kelsey and I did our Movies
of the Months where we go through all the movies
we watched in August and talked about the ones we
recommend best of the month and the ones we don't recommend,
the worst of the Month. I want to play you
this of us talking about our favorite movie as the
summer blockbuster season comes to it end. So be sure
to check out this full episode. But right now, here's
(33:05):
just a little bit of movie Mike's movie podcast Movies
of the Month for August. I feel like it's been
one of the best months of the summer. Interesting, you
don't what was your favorite month?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
July?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Oh, July, I think was my least favorite.
Speaker 8 (33:19):
July had Twisters and Deadpool.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, but that was two and Fly Me to the Moon.
I feel like there are so many more in August.
I'm looking at my list here and there's like eight movies.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Interesting, that's a hot take.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I thought August was way stronger, which August is usually
the decline of the summer blockbuster season. But I felt
like there were more hidden gems. I have more flours
in August than I did for July.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
I don't agree with that.
Speaker 15 (33:40):
But the last time I told you that your take
was stupid, someone on the internet called me a not
nice name.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Is because you love Twisters so much that we've now
seen twice, possibly we'll see first third time in theaters.
We have a code now to watch it at home.
Thanks to everybody at Universal who send us awesome box
if you didn't watch that on TikTok.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
The greatest package we've ever received.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
But is it because you loved that movie so much?
Speaker 10 (34:02):
Now?
Speaker 8 (34:02):
There was just always something to see.
Speaker 15 (34:03):
It was like the first weekend we saw just pick
on Me for and there was fly Me to the Moon,
and there's Twisters. Then there was Deadpool and Twisters again,
Like there was great stuff in July, there was always something.
I feel like this month we kind of had to
be like, Okay, what's coming out this week?
Speaker 8 (34:17):
What are we going to see?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
And I think it's because we had lower expectations going
into the movies this month that I felt like, oh,
this is a really solid month and more. Before we
get into our favorite and our least favorite, I'll go
through all the movies we saw, and we did see
some movies apart. You saw one without me, I saw
one without you.
Speaker 8 (34:34):
This is correct, suis factual.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
So going through the list, Trap which you didn't see
with me, The Instigator, which was an at home one,
Dedie Gunner, which was also I watched that one at home.
I had a screener for that alien Romulus, which you
didn't see with me Sing Sing, and then we closed
it out with Blink twice. I feel like those all
together is a solid month.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
And then I saw it ends with us true.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
I think that's better for me.
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Okay, I still disagree, but.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
We'll get into our bed and the worst you kick
it off. What was the best thing out of all these?
Speaker 8 (35:03):
For August, I'm gonna gome on that surprise paint Blink twice.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I was saying that I feel like this is a
movie people are either going to love or hate.
Speaker 8 (35:10):
TikTok is a buzz.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
It's right, it's kind of pull our opposites.
Speaker 15 (35:14):
I think any movie, if you are concerned that you're
not gonna like it, you need to watch the trailer.
There were trigger warnings even the trailer, Like I didn't
watch the trailer thinking this is gonna be funny, Like
you know that it's gonna be kind of like a
creepy psychological thriller. Reviews compared it to Get Out Before
(35:35):
and people are like, what did I just watch?
Speaker 8 (35:38):
This was terrible?
Speaker 15 (35:39):
There were no warnings like no, there was a literal
full screen warning before the movie.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
That leads me to believe there is still a select
group of people that would just go watch a movie
based on the A list are based on the lead.
Speaker 15 (35:51):
Yeah, the lady and the TikTok was like, I just
wanted to watch Channing Tatum.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
It's like okay, which is a bizarre way to go
into a movie just because Channing Tatum, who you probably
know from Magic and maybe haven't seen a Chanting Tative
movie since, or like twenty two Jump Street, twenty one,
Jump Street, Step Up and you think, oh, yeah, that movie, you.
Speaker 8 (36:07):
Forgot my favorite movie all the time.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I feel like he's had such an evolution as an actor,
primarily being in the rom coms. Then he kind of
shifted into being like the action star, which never really
kicked off. He kind of transitioned into being the comedic star,
which I think was kind of a juxtaposition of you
see him and you don't think comedy, but then he's
really good at comedy right at comedy, And now I
feel like he's just making really good movies, having one
(36:30):
of the best years out of any actor.
Speaker 8 (36:32):
He's having a summer.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
So it's weird for me to see somebody go into
just watching a movie and thinking it's gonna be everything.
He's done maybe ten fifteen years ago. Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 15 (36:42):
I think that, Yeah, you just need to watch the trailer,
like if you're concerned at all about the movie.
Speaker 8 (36:49):
I also think it was righted R. Wasn't it?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
It was righted R.
Speaker 15 (36:51):
Okay, that tells you all you need. That tells you
all you need to know. And yeah, it was disturbing.
That's why there were trigger warnings.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
And if you go into the movie you see the
trigger warning and think, I don't know if this is
for me, you can go get a refund. I think
a lot of people don't know that. I think it's
within the first twenty to thirty minutes, probably different based
on the theater you go to, you can still get
a refund.
Speaker 8 (37:11):
Should have done that when I took my grandma to
Talladey Nights.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
So if you see that at the beginning and thining, huh,
I don't know if I'm in for that. I also
feel like that was a little bit rage bait. My
best of the month comes down to two movies, Alien
Romulus and d D which Alien Romulus was the most
surprising to me because, like we've been talking about in
this month, I went in with pretty low expectations and
ended up really enjoying it, even though I'm not the
(37:36):
biggest fan of the Alien franchise as a whole. But
I think when it comes down to my favorite of
the month, it goes to DDI just because I haven't
seen a movie take place in that time period done
that well too, so good, like two thousand and nine.
Two thousand and eight to two thousand and nine is
like a golden year for me and seeing all those
things that Dedie went through and realizing that also the
(37:58):
director is like my ab So I feel like that
movie was made for somebody exactly my age, also somebody
who their parents migrated from another country. And it was
also just I won't call it a straight on comedy.
There were some funny parts, but it was kind of
a dramedy. Yeah, where I wouldn't tell somebody go watch
this movie because it's hilarious, but there are funny parts
(38:20):
in it. And I feel like that movie is relatable
to anybody who's ever been a teenager. That's really the
prerequisite for it.
Speaker 15 (38:26):
I mean it captured similar to what we talked about,
like eighth grade, it captured which you probably related to
this one more because it was a teenage boy where
was I.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Read did a tighth grade?
Speaker 15 (38:34):
But it was like it captures the essence of that
awkward time of being like thirteen fourteen, eighth grade into
ninth grade. And my trauma that I still haven't forgiven
my parents for is that they moved me in the middle.
Speaker 8 (38:48):
Of eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Eighth grade was my worst year ever.
Speaker 15 (38:51):
The movie in the middle of it, which was incredibly
rude and difficult. But I did meet my best friend
who was still my best friend this day on the
bus and we were like the two weird kids and
we've been best friends ever since, so that was the
only good thing. But that was some trauma.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I think I lost any friend I made from six
to seventh grade. In eighth grade, it's great, is brutal,
it is so and I don't even know why. It
just got to a point where I just stopped talking
to people because they stopped talking to me.
Speaker 15 (39:17):
Everyone thinks that they're better, and then you get to
ninth grade and it's like everyone who was terrible to
you in eighth grade is like, hey, happy.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
First day of school, and you're like me, I still
have the blade in my back from last year.
Speaker 15 (39:27):
You're like you've literally spit on me, like, why are
you being nice to me?
Speaker 9 (39:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
I remember eating lunch alone a lot in eighth grade,
making friends with people I did not want to be
associated with, just because they'd be the only ones who
would sit around me at lunch, and I just remember
that time being awful.
Speaker 15 (39:45):
I also apparently got a lot of hate because I
came in and I was really smart, and I would
like raise my hand and answer questions and I didn't know,
I didn't really fully realize that being smart would put
a target on your back. But sucks to be all
of them because I was smarter than all of them,
and I did graduate third in my class in high school.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
So that's a fun thing to talk about. What were
the things that put a target on your back in
let's just say seventh and eighth grade. You said that
one for me, one of the big ones with just
me wearing all black all the time, which people associated
me with being emo goth, and I would get made
fun of that all the time because I wore all black.
Speaker 8 (40:16):
Having a hard to pronounce last name. Oh yeah, I
don't know why that just makes you a target.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Because would they make fun of it?
Speaker 15 (40:24):
Yeah, I was telling my younger brother the story the
other day. And one time somebody made fun of my
last name and I was like, sorry, take it up
with my dad.
Speaker 8 (40:31):
Dad not shut them up. Ooh, that was a good coming.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
That's always like the una reverse card.
Speaker 15 (40:37):
Yeah, that like being smart, having a hard to pronounce
last name, and then weirdly like I had a hot mom,
which makes it really difficult to be a teenage.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Girl from the teenage boy or the teenage girl.
Speaker 8 (40:51):
The teenage boy.
Speaker 15 (40:52):
Like my mom would come have lunch with me at
school and everyone be like, oh man, who's that, And
I mean, it's my mom. I could tell they found
my mom more attractive than they found me.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
So that was all so difficult. That's quite the top
three there.
Speaker 8 (41:04):
It was pretty rough for me.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
It was the all black clothing goes hand in hands
being into punk rock. Number two was being chunky. That's
just an easy target. Number three, I guess being Mexican,
just because people expect things out of me or assume
stereotypes about me. All right, now, they were through all
of our traumas.
Speaker 8 (41:20):
Now that we are through Kelsey's childhood trauma.
Speaker 15 (41:21):
Thank you for joining. If anyone is a psychologist, listening.
Please let me know what's wrong with me.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
But there you go. DD was my best.
Speaker 9 (41:36):
Caral. She's a queen and talking.
Speaker 13 (41:40):
It was a song.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
She's getting not afraid to face, so so just let
it float.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
No one can do we quiet, Calne, It is time
for Caroline.
Speaker 7 (41:56):
Were any pard too?
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Are you ready? I'm ready?
Speaker 16 (41:58):
This microphone is rolling way, so I'm just gonna hold
it to my face.
Speaker 17 (42:01):
I loved part one where we talked about the front
the front half of Hannah. Yeah, but we can't stop now.
We can't because now we're getting to like the juicy
as bits. Yeah, so can we keep going?
Speaker 6 (42:12):
Can we dive in?
Speaker 7 (42:12):
I hope we do part two? Here we can be
sad if we didn't.
Speaker 16 (42:15):
I know, this is like, oh my god, the main attraction.
Speaker 7 (42:18):
Buckle up here we come.
Speaker 18 (42:19):
We did a marriage intensive at on site, no okay,
and but we did it with another couple. It was
a two Christian like husband and wife like counselor peers,
and so we would come in with them every day.
And I was so excited about it because I was like,
we're going to fix all of Shay's problems.
Speaker 4 (42:38):
How to go?
Speaker 18 (42:40):
We came out of it and I was just like
shell shocked because we had storyboarded have you ever heard
of this?
Speaker 10 (42:47):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (42:47):
Tell me, this is good?
Speaker 9 (42:49):
I love this.
Speaker 18 (42:49):
We storyboarded out. This was one of our exercises. We
each were given a poster board and we wrote out
in thumbnail pictures our lives beautiful. It was like moments
of our lives.
Speaker 16 (43:05):
A great way to know yourself and your partner.
Speaker 18 (43:07):
Gosh, when I tell you, it was emotionally exhausting because.
Speaker 7 (43:10):
I imagine to thirty years. I was thirty. This was
three years ago. I went through thirty years of like
trying to think.
Speaker 18 (43:16):
Of the things that like impacted my life and like
that were pretty important to who I've become.
Speaker 7 (43:23):
So shared a lot.
Speaker 18 (43:24):
We spent hours just like doodling. Like it's funny because
on our storyboards, we both start out and it's like
so beautiful and like detailed, and by the end it's
just like stick figures and we're just like dead. Yeah,
and nothing else happened in the last ten years because
I'm tired and my brain hurts.
Speaker 17 (43:43):
Why do way to clear the pipe cell? Well, so
we did that, and the actual like realizations you probably
learned of yourself.
Speaker 18 (43:50):
Well, no, the shocking part was that she then went
through and she was like, I'm going to go through.
I want I want each of you, one at a time,
to go through your life and explain each of these
and then I'm gonna come back through with my sticky
notes and I'm gonna I'm gonna put on the board
what I hear.
Speaker 17 (44:07):
You saying, WHOA, This is intense, intense, exhausting.
Speaker 18 (44:12):
It was like when I tell you, like emotionally.
Speaker 16 (44:15):
It's like an exorcism almost.
Speaker 7 (44:16):
It was, so she ran out of sticky notes.
Speaker 6 (44:19):
Was laughing over there.
Speaker 16 (44:20):
It's not like an exorcism kind.
Speaker 18 (44:23):
I feel like we went through Shaise and basically they
were like, oh, you can turn lemons into lemonade, but
she can't. Like that was like the thesis for his life.
And she ran out of sticky notes through me You're like.
Speaker 17 (44:37):
We're gonna come vic se, I got this all figured out.
Speaker 18 (44:40):
So she literally ended with like chronic trauma and I
was like what.
Speaker 12 (44:48):
I was like what?
Speaker 18 (44:49):
So anyway, all that to say, we both spent that
week and I think the.
Speaker 16 (44:58):
What a moment in your marriage?
Speaker 18 (45:00):
I think the important part was that we were we
were opening this up in front of each other and
so we literally and then we had to like talk
to our younger selves, this is.
Speaker 16 (45:11):
So beautiful and vulnerable each other.
Speaker 17 (45:13):
But just to be able to get that vulnerable, not
that you're not already vulnerable, but like to go all
the way into the demons and the dark of it all,
that was a door that's so beautiful.
Speaker 18 (45:22):
Literally had to let go and like talk to my
little girl self and tell her, like and talk to her.
Speaker 6 (45:29):
What did you tell her?
Speaker 7 (45:30):
It was something really sad and.
Speaker 18 (45:32):
It was just like it was so sad, and SHA's
just seeing this, you know what I mean? And like
he did the same thing.
Speaker 16 (45:42):
What was your coping mechanism for your little girl? How
did you cope?
Speaker 9 (45:45):
Well?
Speaker 16 (45:46):
What did you do to protect her so she didn't
have to feel Well?
Speaker 18 (45:48):
It's funny because like I went back and because she
was like, you need to probably do some solo therapy for.
Speaker 7 (45:53):
Like your five years.
Speaker 18 (45:57):
She's like, you probably need to like go do some
work on your own. And we did, we've both done that.
But but it was I actually said, I was like,
you're because I was bullied a lot, like a lot
of bullying. And again I'm a doormat and so I've
always been like quiet and reserved or ways.
Speaker 7 (46:18):
I feel like I've like sorry, I feel like i've.
Speaker 18 (46:22):
I've something about having kids really make you step into like.
Speaker 16 (46:26):
Who mama, Lian, Yeah, you're like, I.
Speaker 18 (46:28):
Really give a rats, but tuity what anyone thinks of me,
because now I'm a mom and there's more important things
in life than someone's opinion, so other than God's.
Speaker 7 (46:36):
Like, yeah, as long as God's telling me I'm doing.
Speaker 16 (46:38):
Good and you and your husband are on the same page,
that's exactly it.
Speaker 18 (46:41):
Like I sat the other day and I was like,
I feel like I haven't talked to you in a
long time. God, and I just felt him say you're
a good mom, and I just started bowling you. Sometimes
you just like need need to hear it, you know.
Speaker 16 (46:56):
Okay, So what did you tell your little girl there's
music to your personal share?
Speaker 18 (46:59):
No, I just said the reason that I was bullied
a lot was because I was. They called me miss
goody two shoes, like I didn't break the rules and
like I was just like a rule follower and and
I and my mom told me my whole life, you're
a good girl, and like she'd always say, make good choices.
Speaker 7 (47:21):
And I literally told her.
Speaker 18 (47:22):
I was like, you're a good girl, and you are,
you are.
Speaker 7 (47:26):
You did a good job, and you did a good job,
and you tried. You've been trying so hard, and.
Speaker 18 (47:30):
Like the thing that came out of it was the
therapist actually said she was like do you know what?
She was like, I'm looking at your whole life, and
she was like, and you never followed. And I was like, like,
I'd never thought of that. But like as much as
I was picked on her, bullied or like all this
for for like being good, she was like, you never
(47:52):
followed them, like I never.
Speaker 16 (47:56):
Like you just kind of raced it, raced for it.
Speaker 18 (47:59):
I like I mom told me I was good and
I wanted to be good, and like, thank goodness for
that foundation because Shane and I were both like raised
to know and love the Lord, and I'm so thankful
for that. But I'd never heard that before in my
whole life. She looked at me and she was like,
you were never a follower, So proud of you. And
(48:20):
there was something about that that was like, oh, all
that hard work really did pay off and it is
a harder road it is.
