Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
One behind the scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What's up, everybody? Welcome Best Bits this weekend. You're on
part one and Mike D is joining me. Mike, how
are you feeling to any good?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm back, You are back.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Feels like you're just here.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is my favorite thing to do on Saturdays.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh boy, were continuing that one lunchbox deals with that line? Now,
Mike D isn't all that okay? How is life going
for you right now? How are you and your wife?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I think we're good. I think we're just trying to
live life right now. I think we're both like well
into our thirties and realizing that we kind of like
having the flexibility of not having kids.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
She's in a point in her life where all of
her friends pretty much either have kids are currently pregnant.
She only has a couple of friends who don't have
any kids like us. And I think it's realizing that
we know that we want that eventually. I think still,
but right now we're like kind of like it, like
we just switched our vacation plans last minute, and we're
(01:04):
like we can really only do that right now, in
this phase of life where we don't have to worry
about that.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Is there any discussion of where that's like not a
possibility as you guys continue to stay in your happy place.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think so. I think we're like we see how
much work it is, and we know like that's a
big commitment. So I think we're two people who overthink
a lot. So I think it's it could really kind
of go either way, like we want it. We can
see that like having a family would be great. We
could also see it like just being us.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
That's fair. Okay, Well that's kind of a big update.
That's a lot happening. Any other exciting things besides the
big kid conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I think that's the main thing. I think it's just
seeing like I've always thought, like the weird thing of
my family, like I have an older brother, older sister,
neither of them have kids, so my parents aren't grandparents
and they've never pressured us. And I think in Mexican culture, sure,
really in any culture, there's always this pressure for your parents,
like when you're gonna give me a grand kid, when
you're gonna give me a grand kid. And I think
(02:06):
my mom and my dad never really wanted to put
that pressure on us because they saw like their brothers
and sisters doing that to their kids, and some people
just had kids for the sake, got kids to make
people happy, So they never did that to us. But
I think right now I kind of feel a little
bit like they're not going to come outright and tell us,
but there's kind of like this, you know, it would
be nice to have like some grandkids because they're in
(02:27):
their sixties.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now, do you think either of your siblings are gonna
have kids at some point?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't think so. My older sister was married now divorced,
so I don't think she will have kids now, which
is weird to say. And then my brother at one
point was trying to have kids. And now I think
they're kind of where we are, Like, I don't know,
like it's it's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, it's definitely a hard topic to talk about. Okay, well,
talk about an exciting thing. I don't have much exciting
right now, Mike. I did learn what my blood type is, though,
what is it? Well, at least I think it is
thanks to you, well, thanks to mosquitoes. So anytime I
step outside right now, I'm immediately attacked, I'll go back inside,
(03:10):
and I have fifteen mosquito bites. Okay, And so I
did some research. I was like, why why am I
getting bit? And apparently mosquitoes are more attracted to an
old blood type of blood.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You think they could smell it?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, Like, I think there's a specific blood they like,
and that's why some people get attacked and others don't
get ever attacked.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Do you think they can smell it? Or you think
they bite you and then if they realize you have, oh,
they keep biting you.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Maybe that's it, Like maybe that my smell attracts them
is what starts it. And then they're like, oh, this
is good blood. I'm going to stay and let me,
let me do this a few more times.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because oh it is like the universal donor, right I think?
So I wrote negative one of those.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, and I don't know if I'm making it more positive.
All I know is at least the old blood type
is the tends to be the most attractive to mosquitoes.
I should probably know that, but I don't. So I
learned from mosquitos that I have a blood that's as
exciting as my life is.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Right now, I feel like that's important to know. That's
something that I feel comes in handy when you but
you never know it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, do you know yours?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No idea? I remember. I think the last time I
got a physical, they draw your blood. That's always kind
of weird to see, Like the thing just fill up
with your blood and you're like.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Whoa and you watch it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah. I feel like they're supposed to tell you that
at some point, or maybe you do and you just
don't think it's important to remember that information. Do they
ever tell you that when you get your bood drawn?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't think when you get a drawn. I think
maybe just when you donate blood. I don't think I've
ever donated blood.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I haven't either. I've always been to my like when
I especially in high school, we did the blood drives
and stuff like I was too thin in my thing,
and I like anytime. They're like, if you try, you're
going to pass out. And I was like, well that's
good because I don't really want to it either. I
don't like needles. They scare me.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I remember that. I don't know if it's true or not,
but I heard that if you have tattoos, you can't
donate blood or maybe like around if you had them fresh. Yeah.
I was like, maybe I can't donate blood.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, because I think it's something with like the tattoo
ink that goes into your skin. I think I don't
know if that's like still the case, or technology has
come further to like get that out of the blood,
or if that's all the same thing. I should probably
google it. I'm sitting here on it. I can google.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I mean, the more I read about getting tattoos and
how unhealthy they are and finding things later in life
like they could contribute to some sickness or something, I'm like, yeah,
it probably doesn't make sense that you get something permanently
on your body.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
So it says you can donate blood if you have tattoos,
if you meet all other eligibility requirements and the tattoo
meets certain conditions. The tattoo is applied within the last
three months, the tattoo is completely healed. The tattoo is
applied by a state regulated facility that you sterilize needles
in fresh ink.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
No, well, I got mine in a back alley, so
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, unclean tattoo needles. Man, that's what the FDA says.
You can't you have to wait at least three months
after getting a tattoo before donating blood. Interesting, I did
know there was something with it, so you know, who knows?
How is your new tattoo doing? Are you obsessed with it? Still?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, it's like perfectly healed. And now it's at that
point where I love it and I associate my body
with it now because it's weird. When you get a
new tattoo, you love it because you spend so much
time thinking about it. For me, I always like put
it on my phone and if I love it after
a month still after looking at it on my background,
then I'm good. But also, like, right when you get it,
(06:27):
you have this moment where you're like, did I make
the right decision? Does it actually look good? Am I
actually gonna want this on my body for the rest
of my life? And I think it takes a good
three months to see yourself in the mirror, see it
in passing that you just get used to it, and like,
right now I'm at that point where I'm like, Okay,
this is like the right move I made and it
fits with my body.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Interesting, I don't have any tattoos, so it's an interesting
perspective that I wouldn't have had.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Because you realize how permanent it is, because when you
get it, you're like, oh, this is gonna be fun.
The whole process of getting a tattoo, it was fun,
like taking them before and after pictures, seeing how it
turns out, and then you have like that week of
like just at healing and everything. But then it takes
a while for you to really think, like, man, this
is all my body forever. Am I going to like this?
(07:14):
So I think that's why you always got to lean
with something that you've loved at one point but also
looks cool.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, this is some pro tattoo advice from Mike D.
Why haven't you posted a picture of it yet?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't know, Like.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I think I I got this tattoo so much for
me that I didn't want valid I didn't want or
need validation from anybody else because I think this was
me really leaning into my nerdy tendencies that I've had
throughout my entire life that I've always kind of been
ashamed of. And it really wasn't until like a couple
of years ago that I got more comfortable with it.
(07:51):
That probably once I hit my thirties that I realized
that I'm into these things. I've always been into these things.
I guess I've always kind of thought that I had
to be like cool or something at some point, and
then I realized, I've never been cool. Why am I
worried about how I appear to other people who maybe
have this skewed sense that I'm cool at any point.
So I've leaned more into like enjoying comic books, collecting things,
(08:15):
and all those nerdy movies that I've been into forever.
That I realized, I'm going to get this because I
want it. I don't care what anybody else is going
to say about it, because I'm the one who has
to live with it. So I think I didn't post
it because I'm like, I don't want the negative stuff.
I'm like, why would you get a Spider Man tattoo
because there's some people who aren't going to get it?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, that's true, And you want to keep it a
positive thing because it's something that you were really excited about.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, because it's always those one negative comments you get
that just stay with you. And I was like, if
I just get one negative comment, I'm going to remember
that forever and think about it when I look at it.
So I'll never post like a full on like here's
my tattoo, but it's like in pictures. So mm hmm.
I'm just like, I don't want to have that mental thing,
that mental hurdle of like, oh, this one person in
North Dakota didn't like it. They call me a nerd.
(09:00):
I'm gonna get it removed to cover it up.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, no, you don't want that, and you deserve to
be happy with this, So totally makes sense. Keep it
to yourself. You don't ever have to post it. That's
something you can keep. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, Mike. I need your thoughts on
this situation. So I had another funny Uber situation that
kind of you and the ubers man.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You got like something on your profile because for me,
I always get a minivan you always, no matter what,
if I get an Uber Excel, it's always a minivan.
So I think there's something on my profile like give
this guy a minivan.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I do kind of feel like Uber might do that
on some leble to mess with us. I get some
interesting interactions. So, and the reason I'm asking you is
because you also speak Spanish, and so maybe this was
somebody who was just messing with me. Maybe it was
an honest situation. I don't know. So I was riding
in the back and the uber insisted on leaving his
windows down up front, and we were going somewhere, not
(09:55):
like coming back, we were coming back. I'd be like, okay, whatever,
it's my hair is gonna mess up, but we're headed
to an event. And so I tried to like be like, hey,
can we roll the windows up for this ride? And
he just his automatic responses, sorry, don't speak English, and
so I was like, okay, uh, windows like and I
pointed to him and I was like, can we put
(10:15):
it like? And I did the up motion like I
was trying really hard to just like kindly be like
the windows up, and I maybe like he genuinely didn't
understand me, but he just kept repeating, I don't speak English,
and so I was like okay. So after like the
third time I asked, I just gave up and I
just don't want the fact that the windows were down
the whole ride. Do you think he could understand me
(10:37):
or like at least understood my emotions? And he just
chose to ignore me, or he just genuinely didn't know
what I was talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I think from my experience, he probably understood you. And
he just likes his windows down, because I've gotten in
some ubers where they should put the windows up, and
I think maybe either his like AC was out, or
some people think they save gas by keeping their windows down, and.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I I wonder if that's actually true, don't.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't think it's true. I think the wind resistance
coming in through the windows actually slows down your car,
so you end up using either the same or more
gas because of that. So it's probably just the comfort thing.
So I think he understood it if you did the
windows up thing he did.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I pointed to the windows, and I say, up.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I think it's a comfort thing.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah. It was an interesting dynamic and I was like, okay,
So for fifteen minutes I just sat in the back,
sat the windows down the entire ride. We were on
the highway and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, the worst Uber experiences I have is windows Sometimes
it's windows up, no AC and no music. You're like,
what is this torture chamber?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Like, Uh, they're just totally okay with the hot box
that they're currently in. Yeah. Okay, so well that makes
you feel better, because I felt really bad. I was like,
maybe he just doesn't understand what I'm saying. I'm really
missing the boat here. Okay. Post Malone's album is out
this weekend. Yeah, and that's your guy. How are you feeling?
It's this country album.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'm kind of at a sigh of relief because the
first couple singles that came out from it I felt
were very what I would call commercial country, which are
gonna be some that sound really good on the radio.
The Morgan Wallin song, the Blake Shelton song, which I
like those, But when I sit down to listen to
post Malone music, that's not really what I associate with it.
I associate that more with the song we play on
(12:12):
the show, so that's not necessarily the music I go
home and listen to. But I still thought those songs
were good. And the album has been out. I've listened
to it at the time of this two times, all
the way through, and I like it a lot. There's
the sadder country songs that I was looking for, and
they're also just like different, almost feel like the different
eras of country represented on this album, like the old
(12:34):
school sixties, fifties stuff, the two thousands, and like more
so probably leaning into what's happening now because he has
a lot of his current artists on it. But I
think there's a good mixture of everything where it feels
completely different and completely fresh.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Okay, and what is your favorite song so far?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think the first song with Tim McGraw because it
has like this, you know, I always like the songs
that well they kick off the album, but also I
can visualize them starting the show with so I'm starting
to think of the show that he's doing here at
Nissan at the Stadium. Like that song sounds like a
big opener because it kind of has like this grit
to it, like the big guitars, the big drums, and
(13:12):
it just feels like that song that instantly sucks you in.
So so far, that's my favorite. The Stapleton is probably
my second favorite, is because hearing Chris Stapleton's voice mixed
with post Malone is like, those are two really prominent
voices on one song.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's so true. I haven't listened to any of it yet,
and I really want to, but I was waiting for
all to be out and like see what people were
responding to everything, and I was prepared. Is there like moult,
is every song a collaboration.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I think there's only maybe two or three songs that
are just him. He has the one song about his
daughter that's just him, but I think most of them
are collaborations. There's like two songs with Luke Comb's on it,
is there? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Interesting? Maybe Luke Combs is his favorite guy in country music.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They have been friends for a long time, like way
before he was even teasing this album. One of his
first trips to Nashville, Like I saw them hanging out.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
You know that is interesting. Luke COM's is really good
friends with Post Malone. He's really good friends with Ed
sheeranlu Luke has some interesting friendships that I don't know
that anybody would have connected, you know what I mean. Okay,
so Post Malone weekend. Will you be listening to it
on your runs? Or is this more of just gonna
be an enjoyable album.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I think it's just an enjoyable album. When I run,
I need like fast paced, like very music that's gonna
pump you up. I don't feel like any of those
songs that maybe the first maybe the tim McGrath song
a little bit, but I really don't listen to country
at all when I work out, so this is more
a driving album or like when I work at home album.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
All Right, you got it? That's from the Post. What
are post malone like? You know how Swifties or Taylor Swish?
What are post malone people?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I don't think they have a name, malonners, posts posts.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Maybe that is the post post mates. These are all
good ones if he's not using any of me. What's
something super weird that you like to snack on? I've
really that. I I'm a big black olive and green
olive person, and I'll have like just random olves in
my fridge and I like to randomly snack on olives.
(15:08):
Do you have a random snack that you're like? People
will probably find the psycho behavior olives.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I will only eat as a less resort because sometimes
when I go to restaurants and the one vegan appetizer
is olives, I'm like, well that's all.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I have here, really, But do you like them or
it's just like to survive.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I don't not like them, but they're such a strong
taste and that's the only way I can describe it
like you bite into an olive and it's so like dominant,
where it's like I'm going to be tasting this for
the rest of the day.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That is true. I mean I think I just love
the saltiness of them.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think that's what it is. It's so I guess
that's with the flavoring, right, It's just like salty sodium, Yeah, sodium.
I tend to not like things with a lot of salt.
Like if I can get chips with no salt, that's
what I prefer.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You're telling me you go to a Mexican restaurant and
you're like, I would like tour tea chips with no salt.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
If they have the option. If I go to the
grocery store get tortilla chips, I get the no salt.
Not because if it's not even a healthing. I just
like the flavor more. I feel like you get the
flavor better with no salt. Otherwise I'm just tasting salt.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The salt is what makes it so cunchy and tasty.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just like the straight flavor. I think I'm also
that way with like sauces and hot sauces, Like I
want the flavor of the food more so than the sauce,
because like when it comes to spice, I can handle spicy.
I grew up eating spicy things, but I feel when
it's so spicy, it takes away from the flavor of
the food and you're just tasting the heat. So I'm
very much like I want the actual food to taste good.
(16:35):
I don't need all the things on it.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
That makes sense, but also kind of zarchopoppya yeah wow,
especially as someone who has to like tofu and other
things where you have to really add a lot of flavoring,
that shocks me. Especially like veggies. Yeah, you're just not
adding salt onto any of that.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
If anything like black pepper, and then I'll make like
veggies that give the flavor to it, like onions, bell pepper, tomato,
like other vegetables that add flavor to the else you're making. Yeah,
but straight up like, yeah, I don't really cook with salt,
so I bet to other people the food I eat
is super bland and you would hate my cooking. But
that's how I like it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Does your wife like it that way?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, she likes salt. Okay, if she goes to a
Mexican restaurant, she wants the salt on the chip. She
wants the salt on the margarita.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Who wins in the salt scenario usually.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But she doesn't eat what I cook, so okay, she
can make hers differently.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So if she's cooking and there's always gonna be salt,
if you're cooking, there's not going to be and then
maybe you guys aren't eating each others.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
So often dinner times is not cooking the same way.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Do you ever have like meals together that you cook
together specifically?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Usually if we do, it ends up a disaster. One
time we try to make pizza and it was terrible.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Why what have it?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well, she's gluten free, I'm vegan. It's impossible to make
a gluten free vegan pizza at home. It falls apart.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So we made one that like fell up part it
was totally undercooked and we had to make something else.
So sometimes we try to make things together. I think
the last time we made things together is probably a
couple of Thanksgivings ago where we didn't go home and
that's the only one that ever turned out right, and.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You didn't try and build off of that scenario. No,
I feel like it's just too tough. We'll not do this.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, but I think my weird snack. I think I'm
the only person who really enjoys dates. M I like dates,
but I get them like every single week. Like my
fridge is not complete unless I have a giant thing
of dates in there.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
And you just like chomp down on some dates.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, Like I'll just get a bowl of dates, and
that's I just that's my favorite snack.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They are super filling, they're great. So how many can
you have in one setting?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I could eat like eight?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Dang that is that's also kind of a sweet treat too.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, Like for me, like a really good date tastes
like a donut.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Okay, don't. I don't know that I can see that,
but I uh, I'll try to.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I feel like it's an old person food. When I
eat it, I'm like, I love me a bowl of dates.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Maybe it is an old person food. It is a
weird snack for sure. Like I have it, but I
have to have it with other things like goat cheese
or almond butter, honey or Himalayan salt, and you're like
just straight up chalk down.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, if I really get crazy. I'll put like peanut
butter or almond butter on it. That's like an extra treat.
But yeah, I just like a bowl of dates. And
anybody I tell that to you like, you're the only
person I've ever met who likes dates.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You are, at least in that capacity. You for sure
are Okay, those are our weird snacks. Maybe you can relate,
maybe you cannot. We're gonna take one more quick break.
We'll be right back, all right, Mike. I don't know
if you're gonna have an answer for this one, but
maybe you will.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
These are my favorite questions and this could be a.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
New side of you that we're gonna learn. When's the
last time you were irrationally dramatic? So the reason I'm
asking this is because I saw a spider in my
bed and instead of trying to find it and killed it,
I just let it go. And then I went downstairs
and slept on the couch and was like, that's your bed.
Now I'm just out, Like I was just intentionally very
(20:09):
dramatic and said, Nope, this is not for me. I'm
not gonna deal with this right now. I'm just gonna
go sleep on the couch and it wasn't even like
a large spider either. That's what's even funnier about it.
It's like it's just a baby spider. But it was
a spider in my bed, nonetheless, and we were both
not gonna sleep there that night, So that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You're reminded me that I was supposed to kill a
spider before I left the house today, and I don't
think I did.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That spider be living rent free in y'all's house.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm gonna go get that when I get home.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Hopefully it's still in the same place.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, hopefully they moved quickly. Pretty big too, was it.
I worry less about big spiders. I feel like they
just chill and you can catch them.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That is not true if you have one that has
a violin on its back. That's the brown recluse spider.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I mean I got a bit by a black
widow as a kid, and that's like a smaller spider,
and those are deadly.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, like I think they're Honestly, it's funny. I don't
know that they deserve the hate that they get, but
I'm like, you got bit by a black widow, I
got bit by brown and clothes brown clues can chop
off your whole arm.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, I've seen horror video or pictures of that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, and black widows are deadly. Like, so we got
bit by two of the spiders. You don't want to
be bit by. So I understand our dislike for them.
But also they just like chillin', you know what I mean, Like,
unless you come to them or you're in their space,
they're just chillin They don't really actually want to be
around you. Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah? But they set up the webs and you get
caught in their web.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
And you're like, bro, oh, nothing is worse my porch.
Nothing is worse than when you're mowing and like you
just straight up walk into a spider web and you're like,
where is the Spider's that's panic.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, that's the only time I freak out with spiders.
Like if I just see one and have to get
out of the house, I'm fine with that. But it's
whenever you go through the web and you just don't
know where it is, and then.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You have the whole feeling all day. We're like it's
on me, It's somewhere on me, and I don't know
where it's at, Like that little feeling. Oh yeah, So
that was my irrationally dramatic situation. Do you have fun?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
My most recent one is I am very particular on
what time I need to do things. Okay, Like I
have to drink my first sip of coffee at five
thirty five am, no matter what, No matter what. I
have these weird times where I set throughout my day
of when I need to have certain things, And my
second coffee of the day has to be at three PM.
(22:28):
And me and my wife were going to go get
coffee and she's like, oh, I'm still making lunch, we
can go later, and we're gonna go at like three fifteen.
I'm like, no, I have to have coffee at three pm.
And I'm really weird, Like I just have this obsession
with routines, and when things mess up my routines, I
become irrational and I don't think the way I need to.
So in that moment, I was like, no, we need
(22:50):
to go at three, like I have this whole thing
planned now. She was like, yo, we're gonna go at
three fifteen. It'll be fine. But it's hard for me
to process those things whenever I have some thing set
because That's just how my life is.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Is there anything else besides like the coffee in this scenario, Like,
is there any other direct moments where you're like, this
timing has to be perfect.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, I think I have to wake up at the
exact same time every day. Okay, an alarm for four twenty,
and that is the time I wake up. There is
no early, no less, no early, no last four twenty.
I'm up five point thirty five. I have to have
my coffee and my breakfast. I usually have to have
my second snack of the day in the morning after
nine am, So once nine am hits, that opens up
(23:33):
my window. It's a little different here because we're live
and I can't really leave at the specific time that
I want to. But after nine am I'm clear for
that second one, okay, and then throughout the rest of
the day. The next one up that I have to
do is the three pm coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
That's a lot of coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, I did drink a lot of coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I feel like this timeframe revolves around coffee and snacks.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Coffee and snacks. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Interesting, Do you feel like it helps you survive better
by having that? Like you've just figured that this works
the best for your life, I think.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So I think just once I set something and I
know it's like coming. It's just that having something built in,
because usually my days can kind of vary on when
I do certain things. But having those built in things
I can control just kind of help my brain work better.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Okay, having control over coffee and snacks, I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And then there's just other things that I have to,
like time out, Like if I'm going for a run,
I have to stretch for six minutes and five seconds,
specifically specifically because that's how much of time it takes
to do all my stretches. I have to hit that
six so five. I don't have to do it at
a specific time, but I have a specific amount of
time I dedicate to that.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Do you think this is somewhat like related to OCD
it all? Do you feel you have that?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't know, I don't know. Maybe maybe on some
some plane it is. And I'm even when I go
watch movies, I hit. This is also for my podcast,
but I hit like a timer, so I know exactly
how long the movie is. But I think that's just
the time thing is. I don't need it to hit
at specific time. I just need to know.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Maybe it's just the thing with time like that gives
you control over something.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Maybe I think I just like looking back at like
stats too of like okay, this toock an hour?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
This are you analytical?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah? Very analytical?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You're super creative though, so dang okay creative analytical Coffee
on time, Mike.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, I just big on not even so much like
strict times, just knowing the times that is going to go.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
That's fair. Okay, Well, last question for you before we
get out of here. I'm planning to have some girlfriends
over to stay over. Our adult sleepover is weird?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I would love adult sleepover. That wish I had friends
for that.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Mike and I are gonna make me sad. I mean,
I just didn't know if like having friends over at
this day and age, not like somebody who comes in
town and visits and says, I mean like your friends
that are in town or whatever, and they come over
and they stay the night, even though they have their
own house.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
To go to. That's interesting. I guess I've never really
thought of it that way. I think of it more
as like people coming into town, because that happens with
my wife's friends. They come over and it's like a sleepover.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, and that's so much fun. So, like, is it
weird that I also want to do it with my
friends that are here and I just want them to
come and stay over.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I think that's a great idea. That's like nostalgic really
when you think about it.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Oh, and it just makes you happy. It gives you
like happy serotonin vibes to have everybody at your house,
because there's.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
A different vibe when somebody is coming over and they're
going to stay. There's like this extra added level of comfort,
especially as adultsy like you have a few drinks, you
don't want anybody driving.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
M hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
So is that comfort of like I'm staying here and
they're just like an added fun to it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, at least that's what I feel like. But I
didn't know if it was weird And other people are like,
you're thirty years old, why are you doing that?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I think at our age it's fine though, like maybe
people in their forties it's different, you have kids, different,
But I think in our phase of life it's perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Okay, all right, Well, as long as you say it's fine,
then I'm not gonna care about that. One negative nolail exactly.
No cares in the world. All right, Mike, Well, thank

One behind the scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What's up, everybody? Welcome Best Bits this weekend. You're on
part one and Mike D is joining me. Mike, how
are you feeling to any good?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I'm back, You are back.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Feels like you're just here.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is my favorite thing to do on Saturdays.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh boy, were continuing that one lunchbox deals with that line? Now,
Mike D isn't all that okay? How is life going
for you right now? How are you and your wife?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I think we're good. I think we're just trying to
live life right now. I think we're both like well
into our thirties and realizing that we kind of like
having the flexibility of not having kids.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
She's in a point in her life where all of
her friends pretty much either have kids are currently pregnant.
She only has a couple of friends who don't have
any kids like us. And I think it's realizing that
we know that we want that eventually. I think still,
but right now we're like kind of like it, like
we just switched our vacation plans last minute, and we're
(01:04):
like we can really only do that right now, in
this phase of life where we don't have to worry
about that.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Is there any discussion of where that's like not a
possibility as you guys continue to stay in your happy place.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I think so. I think we're like we see how
much work it is, and we know like that's a
big commitment. So I think we're two people who overthink
a lot. So I think it's it could really kind
of go either way, like we want it. We can
see that like having a family would be great. We
could also see it like just being us.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
That's fair. Okay, Well that's kind of a big update.
That's a lot happening. Any other exciting things besides the
big kid conversation.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I think that's the main thing. I think it's just
seeing like I've always thought, like the weird thing of
my family, like I have an older brother, older sister,
neither of them have kids, so my parents aren't grandparents
and they've never pressured us. And I think in Mexican culture, sure,
really in any culture, there's always this pressure for your parents,
like when you're gonna give me a grand kid, when
you're gonna give me a grand kid. And I think
(02:06):
my mom and my dad never really wanted to put
that pressure on us because they saw like their brothers
and sisters doing that to their kids, and some people
just had kids for the sake, got kids to make
people happy, So they never did that to us. But
I think right now I kind of feel a little
bit like they're not going to come outright and tell us,
but there's kind of like this, you know, it would
be nice to have like some grandkids because they're in
(02:27):
their sixties.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now, do you think either of your siblings are gonna
have kids at some point?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't think so. My older sister was married now divorced,
so I don't think she will have kids now, which
is weird to say. And then my brother at one
point was trying to have kids. And now I think
they're kind of where we are, Like, I don't know,
like it's it's hard.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Yeah, it's definitely a hard topic to talk about. Okay, well,
talk about an exciting thing. I don't have much exciting
right now, Mike. I did learn what my blood type is, though,
what is it? Well, at least I think it is
thanks to you, well, thanks to mosquitoes. So anytime I
step outside right now, I'm immediately attacked, I'll go back inside,
(03:10):
and I have fifteen mosquito bites. Okay, And so I
did some research. I was like, why why am I
getting bit? And apparently mosquitoes are more attracted to an
old blood type of blood.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You think they could smell it?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Yeah, Like, I think there's a specific blood they like,
and that's why some people get attacked and others don't
get ever attacked.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Do you think they can smell it? Or you think
they bite you and then if they realize you have, oh,
they keep biting you.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Maybe that's it, Like maybe that my smell attracts them
is what starts it. And then they're like, oh, this
is good blood. I'm going to stay and let me,
let me do this a few more times.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Because oh it is like the universal donor, right I think?
So I wrote negative one of those.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, and I don't know if I'm making it more positive.
All I know is at least the old blood type
is the tends to be the most attractive to mosquitoes.
I should probably know that, but I don't. So I
learned from mosquitos that I have a blood that's as
exciting as my life is.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Right now, I feel like that's important to know. That's
something that I feel comes in handy when you but
you never know it.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, do you know yours?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No idea? I remember. I think the last time I
got a physical, they draw your blood. That's always kind
of weird to see, Like the thing just fill up
with your blood and you're like.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Whoa and you watch it.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Yeah. I feel like they're supposed to tell you that
at some point, or maybe you do and you just
don't think it's important to remember that information. Do they
ever tell you that when you get your bood drawn?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I don't think when you get a drawn. I think
maybe just when you donate blood. I don't think I've
ever donated blood.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
I haven't either. I've always been to my like when
I especially in high school, we did the blood drives
and stuff like I was too thin in my thing,
and I like anytime. They're like, if you try, you're
going to pass out. And I was like, well that's
good because I don't really want to it either. I
don't like needles. They scare me.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I remember that. I don't know if it's true or not,
but I heard that if you have tattoos, you can't
donate blood or maybe like around if you had them fresh. Yeah.
I was like, maybe I can't donate blood.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, because I think it's something with like the tattoo
ink that goes into your skin. I think I don't
know if that's like still the case, or technology has
come further to like get that out of the blood,
or if that's all the same thing. I should probably
google it. I'm sitting here on it. I can google.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I mean, the more I read about getting tattoos and
how unhealthy they are and finding things later in life
like they could contribute to some sickness or something, I'm like, yeah,
it probably doesn't make sense that you get something permanently
on your body.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
So it says you can donate blood if you have tattoos,
if you meet all other eligibility requirements and the tattoo
meets certain conditions. The tattoo is applied within the last
three months, the tattoo is completely healed. The tattoo is
applied by a state regulated facility that you sterilize needles
in fresh ink.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
No, well, I got mine in a back alley, so
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah, unclean tattoo needles. Man, that's what the FDA says.
You can't you have to wait at least three months
after getting a tattoo before donating blood. Interesting, I did
know there was something with it, so you know, who knows?
How is your new tattoo doing? Are you obsessed with it? Still?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Yeah, it's like perfectly healed. And now it's at that
point where I love it and I associate my body
with it now because it's weird. When you get a
new tattoo, you love it because you spend so much
time thinking about it. For me, I always like put
it on my phone and if I love it after
a month still after looking at it on my background,
then I'm good. But also, like, right when you get it,
(06:27):
you have this moment where you're like, did I make
the right decision? Does it actually look good? Am I
actually gonna want this on my body for the rest
of my life? And I think it takes a good
three months to see yourself in the mirror, see it
in passing that you just get used to it, and like,
right now I'm at that point where I'm like, Okay,
this is like the right move I made and it
fits with my body.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Interesting, I don't have any tattoos, so it's an interesting
perspective that I wouldn't have had.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Because you realize how permanent it is, because when you
get it, you're like, oh, this is gonna be fun.
The whole process of getting a tattoo, it was fun,
like taking them before and after pictures, seeing how it
turns out, and then you have like that week of
like just at healing and everything. But then it takes
a while for you to really think, like, man, this
is all my body forever. Am I going to like this?
(07:14):
So I think that's why you always got to lean
with something that you've loved at one point but also
looks cool.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Okay, this is some pro tattoo advice from Mike D.
Why haven't you posted a picture of it yet?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I don't know, Like.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I think I I got this tattoo so much for
me that I didn't want valid I didn't want or
need validation from anybody else because I think this was
me really leaning into my nerdy tendencies that I've had
throughout my entire life that I've always kind of been
ashamed of. And it really wasn't until like a couple
of years ago that I got more comfortable with it.
(07:51):
That probably once I hit my thirties that I realized
that I'm into these things. I've always been into these things.
I guess I've always kind of thought that I had
to be like cool or something at some point, and
then I realized, I've never been cool. Why am I
worried about how I appear to other people who maybe
have this skewed sense that I'm cool at any point.
So I've leaned more into like enjoying comic books, collecting things,
(08:15):
and all those nerdy movies that I've been into forever.
That I realized, I'm going to get this because I
want it. I don't care what anybody else is going
to say about it, because I'm the one who has
to live with it. So I think I didn't post
it because I'm like, I don't want the negative stuff.
I'm like, why would you get a Spider Man tattoo
because there's some people who aren't going to get it?
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah, that's true, And you want to keep it a
positive thing because it's something that you were really excited about.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, because it's always those one negative comments you get
that just stay with you. And I was like, if
I just get one negative comment, I'm going to remember
that forever and think about it when I look at it.
So I'll never post like a full on like here's
my tattoo, but it's like in pictures. So mm hmm.
I'm just like, I don't want to have that mental thing,
that mental hurdle of like, oh, this one person in
North Dakota didn't like it. They call me a nerd.
(09:00):
I'm gonna get it removed to cover it up.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, no, you don't want that, and you deserve to
be happy with this, So totally makes sense. Keep it
to yourself. You don't ever have to post it. That's
something you can keep. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back, Mike. I need your thoughts on
this situation. So I had another funny Uber situation that
kind of you and the ubers man.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You got like something on your profile because for me,
I always get a minivan you always, no matter what,
if I get an Uber Excel, it's always a minivan.
So I think there's something on my profile like give
this guy a minivan.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I do kind of feel like Uber might do that
on some leble to mess with us. I get some
interesting interactions. So, and the reason I'm asking you is
because you also speak Spanish, and so maybe this was
somebody who was just messing with me. Maybe it was
an honest situation. I don't know. So I was riding
in the back and the uber insisted on leaving his
windows down up front, and we were going somewhere, not
(09:55):
like coming back, we were coming back. I'd be like, okay, whatever,
it's my hair is gonna mess up, but we're headed
to an event. And so I tried to like be like, hey,
can we roll the windows up for this ride? And
he just his automatic responses, sorry, don't speak English, and
so I was like, okay, uh, windows like and I
pointed to him and I was like, can we put
(10:15):
it like? And I did the up motion like I
was trying really hard to just like kindly be like
the windows up, and I maybe like he genuinely didn't
understand me, but he just kept repeating, I don't speak English,
and so I was like okay. So after like the
third time I asked, I just gave up and I
just don't want the fact that the windows were down
the whole ride. Do you think he could understand me
(10:37):
or like at least understood my emotions? And he just
chose to ignore me, or he just genuinely didn't know
what I was talking about.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I think from my experience, he probably understood you. And
he just likes his windows down, because I've gotten in
some ubers where they should put the windows up, and
I think maybe either his like AC was out, or
some people think they save gas by keeping their windows down, and.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I I wonder if that's actually true, don't.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I don't think it's true. I think the wind resistance
coming in through the windows actually slows down your car,
so you end up using either the same or more
gas because of that. So it's probably just the comfort thing.
So I think he understood it if you did the
windows up thing he did.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I pointed to the windows, and I say, up.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I think it's a comfort thing.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah. It was an interesting dynamic and I was like, okay,
So for fifteen minutes I just sat in the back,
sat the windows down the entire ride. We were on
the highway and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah, the worst Uber experiences I have is windows Sometimes
it's windows up, no AC and no music. You're like,
what is this torture chamber?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Like, Uh, they're just totally okay with the hot box
that they're currently in. Yeah. Okay, so well that makes
you feel better, because I felt really bad. I was like,
maybe he just doesn't understand what I'm saying. I'm really
missing the boat here. Okay. Post Malone's album is out
this weekend. Yeah, and that's your guy. How are you feeling?
It's this country album.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'm kind of at a sigh of relief because the
first couple singles that came out from it I felt
were very what I would call commercial country, which are
gonna be some that sound really good on the radio.
The Morgan Wallin song, the Blake Shelton song, which I
like those, But when I sit down to listen to
post Malone music, that's not really what I associate with it.
I associate that more with the song we play on
(12:12):
the show, so that's not necessarily the music I go
home and listen to. But I still thought those songs
were good. And the album has been out. I've listened
to it at the time of this two times, all
the way through, and I like it a lot. There's
the sadder country songs that I was looking for, and
they're also just like different, almost feel like the different
eras of country represented on this album, like the old
(12:34):
school sixties, fifties stuff, the two thousands, and like more
so probably leaning into what's happening now because he has
a lot of his current artists on it. But I
think there's a good mixture of everything where it feels
completely different and completely fresh.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Okay, and what is your favorite song so far?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think the first song with Tim McGraw because it
has like this, you know, I always like the songs
that well they kick off the album, but also I
can visualize them starting the show with so I'm starting
to think of the show that he's doing here at
Nissan at the Stadium. Like that song sounds like a
big opener because it kind of has like this grit
to it, like the big guitars, the big drums, and
(13:12):
it just feels like that song that instantly sucks you in.
So so far, that's my favorite. The Stapleton is probably
my second favorite, is because hearing Chris Stapleton's voice mixed
with post Malone is like, those are two really prominent
voices on one song.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's so true. I haven't listened to any of it yet,
and I really want to, but I was waiting for
all to be out and like see what people were
responding to everything, and I was prepared. Is there like moult,
is every song a collaboration.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I think there's only maybe two or three songs that
are just him. He has the one song about his
daughter that's just him, but I think most of them
are collaborations. There's like two songs with Luke Comb's on it,
is there? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Interesting? Maybe Luke Combs is his favorite guy in country music.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They have been friends for a long time, like way
before he was even teasing this album. One of his
first trips to Nashville, Like I saw them hanging out.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
You know that is interesting. Luke COM's is really good
friends with Post Malone. He's really good friends with Ed
sheeranlu Luke has some interesting friendships that I don't know
that anybody would have connected, you know what I mean. Okay,
so Post Malone weekend. Will you be listening to it
on your runs? Or is this more of just gonna
be an enjoyable album.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I think it's just an enjoyable album. When I run,
I need like fast paced, like very music that's gonna
pump you up. I don't feel like any of those
songs that maybe the first maybe the tim McGrath song
a little bit, but I really don't listen to country
at all when I work out, so this is more
a driving album or like when I work at home album.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
All Right, you got it? That's from the Post. What
are post malone like? You know how Swifties or Taylor Swish?
What are post malone people?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I don't think they have a name, malonners, posts posts.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Maybe that is the post post mates. These are all
good ones if he's not using any of me. What's
something super weird that you like to snack on? I've
really that. I I'm a big black olive and green
olive person, and I'll have like just random olves in
my fridge and I like to randomly snack on olives.
(15:08):
Do you have a random snack that you're like? People
will probably find the psycho behavior olives.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I will only eat as a less resort because sometimes
when I go to restaurants and the one vegan appetizer
is olives, I'm like, well that's all.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I have here, really, But do you like them or
it's just like to survive.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I don't not like them, but they're such a strong
taste and that's the only way I can describe it
like you bite into an olive and it's so like dominant,
where it's like I'm going to be tasting this for
the rest of the day.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That is true. I mean I think I just love
the saltiness of them.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I think that's what it is. It's so I guess
that's with the flavoring, right, It's just like salty sodium, Yeah, sodium.
I tend to not like things with a lot of salt.
Like if I can get chips with no salt, that's
what I prefer.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
You're telling me you go to a Mexican restaurant and
you're like, I would like tour tea chips with no salt.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
If they have the option. If I go to the
grocery store get tortilla chips, I get the no salt.
Not because if it's not even a healthing. I just
like the flavor more. I feel like you get the
flavor better with no salt. Otherwise I'm just tasting salt.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The salt is what makes it so cunchy and tasty.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I just like the straight flavor. I think I'm also
that way with like sauces and hot sauces, Like I
want the flavor of the food more so than the sauce,
because like when it comes to spice, I can handle spicy.
I grew up eating spicy things, but I feel when
it's so spicy, it takes away from the flavor of
the food and you're just tasting the heat. So I'm
very much like I want the actual food to taste good.
(16:35):
I don't need all the things on it.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
That makes sense, but also kind of zarchopoppya yeah wow,
especially as someone who has to like tofu and other
things where you have to really add a lot of flavoring,
that shocks me. Especially like veggies. Yeah, you're just not
adding salt onto any of that.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
If anything like black pepper, and then I'll make like
veggies that give the flavor to it, like onions, bell pepper, tomato,
like other vegetables that add flavor to the else you're making. Yeah,
but straight up like, yeah, I don't really cook with salt,
so I bet to other people the food I eat
is super bland and you would hate my cooking. But
that's how I like it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Does your wife like it that way?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, she likes salt. Okay, if she goes to a
Mexican restaurant, she wants the salt on the chip. She
wants the salt on the margarita.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Who wins in the salt scenario usually.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But she doesn't eat what I cook, so okay, she
can make hers differently.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
So if she's cooking and there's always gonna be salt,
if you're cooking, there's not going to be and then
maybe you guys aren't eating each others.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
So often dinner times is not cooking the same way.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Do you ever have like meals together that you cook
together specifically?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Usually if we do, it ends up a disaster. One
time we try to make pizza and it was terrible.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Why what have it?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well, she's gluten free, I'm vegan. It's impossible to make
a gluten free vegan pizza at home. It falls apart.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
So we made one that like fell up part it
was totally undercooked and we had to make something else.
So sometimes we try to make things together. I think
the last time we made things together is probably a
couple of Thanksgivings ago where we didn't go home and
that's the only one that ever turned out right, and.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
You didn't try and build off of that scenario. No,
I feel like it's just too tough. We'll not do this.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, but I think my weird snack. I think I'm
the only person who really enjoys dates. M I like dates,
but I get them like every single week. Like my
fridge is not complete unless I have a giant thing
of dates in there.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
And you just like chomp down on some dates.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yeah, Like I'll just get a bowl of dates, and
that's I just that's my favorite snack.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They are super filling, they're great. So how many can
you have in one setting?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I could eat like eight?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Dang that is that's also kind of a sweet treat too.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, Like for me, like a really good date tastes
like a donut.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Okay, don't. I don't know that I can see that,
but I uh, I'll try to.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I feel like it's an old person food. When I
eat it, I'm like, I love me a bowl of dates.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Maybe it is an old person food. It is a
weird snack for sure. Like I have it, but I
have to have it with other things like goat cheese
or almond butter, honey or Himalayan salt, and you're like
just straight up chalk down.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, if I really get crazy. I'll put like peanut
butter or almond butter on it. That's like an extra treat.
But yeah, I just like a bowl of dates. And
anybody I tell that to you like, you're the only
person I've ever met who likes dates.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
You are, at least in that capacity. You for sure
are Okay, those are our weird snacks. Maybe you can relate,
maybe you cannot. We're gonna take one more quick break.
We'll be right back, all right, Mike. I don't know
if you're gonna have an answer for this one, but
maybe you will.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
These are my favorite questions and this could be a.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
New side of you that we're gonna learn. When's the
last time you were irrationally dramatic? So the reason I'm
asking this is because I saw a spider in my
bed and instead of trying to find it and killed it,
I just let it go. And then I went downstairs
and slept on the couch and was like, that's your bed.
Now I'm just out, Like I was just intentionally very
(20:09):
dramatic and said, Nope, this is not for me. I'm
not gonna deal with this right now. I'm just gonna
go sleep on the couch and it wasn't even like
a large spider either. That's what's even funnier about it.
It's like it's just a baby spider. But it was
a spider in my bed, nonetheless, and we were both
not gonna sleep there that night, So that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You're reminded me that I was supposed to kill a
spider before I left the house today, and I don't
think I did.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That spider be living rent free in y'all's house.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm gonna go get that when I get home.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Hopefully it's still in the same place.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Yeah, hopefully they moved quickly. Pretty big too, was it.
I worry less about big spiders. I feel like they
just chill and you can catch them.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
That is not true if you have one that has
a violin on its back. That's the brown recluse spider.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, I mean I got a bit by a black
widow as a kid, and that's like a smaller spider,
and those are deadly.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Yeah, like I think they're Honestly, it's funny. I don't
know that they deserve the hate that they get, but
I'm like, you got bit by a black widow, I
got bit by brown and clothes brown clues can chop
off your whole arm.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, I've seen horror video or pictures of that.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, and black widows are deadly. Like, so we got
bit by two of the spiders. You don't want to
be bit by. So I understand our dislike for them.
But also they just like chillin', you know what I mean, Like,
unless you come to them or you're in their space,
they're just chillin They don't really actually want to be
around you. Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah? But they set up the webs and you get
caught in their web.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
And you're like, bro, oh, nothing is worse my porch.
Nothing is worse than when you're mowing and like you
just straight up walk into a spider web and you're like,
where is the Spider's that's panic.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, that's the only time I freak out with spiders.
Like if I just see one and have to get
out of the house, I'm fine with that. But it's
whenever you go through the web and you just don't
know where it is, and then.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You have the whole feeling all day. We're like it's
on me, It's somewhere on me, and I don't know
where it's at, Like that little feeling. Oh yeah, So
that was my irrationally dramatic situation. Do you have fun?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
My most recent one is I am very particular on
what time I need to do things. Okay, Like I
have to drink my first sip of coffee at five
thirty five am, no matter what, No matter what. I
have these weird times where I set throughout my day
of when I need to have certain things, And my
second coffee of the day has to be at three PM.
(22:28):
And me and my wife were going to go get
coffee and she's like, oh, I'm still making lunch, we
can go later, and we're gonna go at like three fifteen.
I'm like, no, I have to have coffee at three pm.
And I'm really weird, Like I just have this obsession
with routines, and when things mess up my routines, I
become irrational and I don't think the way I need to.
So in that moment, I was like, no, we need
(22:50):
to go at three, like I have this whole thing
planned now. She was like, yo, we're gonna go at
three fifteen. It'll be fine. But it's hard for me
to process those things whenever I have some thing set
because That's just how my life is.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Is there anything else besides like the coffee in this scenario, Like,
is there any other direct moments where you're like, this
timing has to be perfect.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, I think I have to wake up at the
exact same time every day. Okay, an alarm for four twenty,
and that is the time I wake up. There is
no early, no less, no early, no last four twenty.
I'm up five point thirty five. I have to have
my coffee and my breakfast. I usually have to have
my second snack of the day in the morning after
nine am, So once nine am hits, that opens up
(23:33):
my window. It's a little different here because we're live
and I can't really leave at the specific time that
I want to. But after nine am I'm clear for
that second one, okay, and then throughout the rest of
the day. The next one up that I have to
do is the three pm coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
That's a lot of coffee.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yeah, I did drink a lot of coffee.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I feel like this timeframe revolves around coffee and snacks.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Coffee and snacks. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Interesting, Do you feel like it helps you survive better
by having that? Like you've just figured that this works
the best for your life, I think.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
So I think just once I set something and I
know it's like coming. It's just that having something built in,
because usually my days can kind of vary on when
I do certain things. But having those built in things
I can control just kind of help my brain work better.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Okay, having control over coffee and snacks, I like it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
And then there's just other things that I have to,
like time out, Like if I'm going for a run,
I have to stretch for six minutes and five seconds,
specifically specifically because that's how much of time it takes
to do all my stretches. I have to hit that
six so five. I don't have to do it at
a specific time, but I have a specific amount of
time I dedicate to that.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Do you think this is somewhat like related to OCD
it all? Do you feel you have that?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't know, I don't know. Maybe maybe on some
some plane it is. And I'm even when I go
watch movies, I hit. This is also for my podcast,
but I hit like a timer, so I know exactly
how long the movie is. But I think that's just
the time thing is. I don't need it to hit
at specific time. I just need to know.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Maybe it's just the thing with time like that gives
you control over something.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Maybe I think I just like looking back at like
stats too of like okay, this toock an hour?
Speaker 3 (25:20):
This are you analytical?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Yeah? Very analytical?
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You're super creative though, so dang okay creative analytical Coffee
on time, Mike.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, I just big on not even so much like
strict times, just knowing the times that is going to go.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
That's fair. Okay, Well, last question for you before we
get out of here. I'm planning to have some girlfriends
over to stay over. Our adult sleepover is weird?
Speaker 2 (25:47):
I would love adult sleepover. That wish I had friends
for that.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Mike and I are gonna make me sad. I mean,
I just didn't know if like having friends over at
this day and age, not like somebody who comes in
town and visits and says, I mean like your friends
that are in town or whatever, and they come over
and they stay the night, even though they have their
own house.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
To go to. That's interesting. I guess I've never really
thought of it that way. I think of it more
as like people coming into town, because that happens with
my wife's friends. They come over and it's like a sleepover.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, and that's so much fun. So, like, is it
weird that I also want to do it with my
friends that are here and I just want them to
come and stay over.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
I think that's a great idea. That's like nostalgic really
when you think about it.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Oh, and it just makes you happy. It gives you
like happy serotonin vibes to have everybody at your house,
because there's.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
A different vibe when somebody is coming over and they're
going to stay. There's like this extra added level of comfort,
especially as adultsy like you have a few drinks, you
don't want anybody driving.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
M hmm.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
So is that comfort of like I'm staying here and
they're just like an added fun to it.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Yeah, at least that's what I feel like. But I
didn't know if it was weird And other people are like,
you're thirty years old, why are you doing that?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I think at our age it's fine though, like maybe
people in their forties it's different, you have kids, different,
But I think in our phase of life it's perfectly fine.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Okay, all right, Well, as long as you say it's fine,
then I'm not gonna care about that. One negative nolail exactly.
No cares in the world. All right, Mike, Well, thank
