Speaker 1 (00:00):
The best bits of the week with Morgan. It's listener
Q and daytime. We're Morgan in a show member answer
almost all your questions.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It is time for some listener questions and we answer.
So this is all about starting with some shout outs,
though Mike d is joining me.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
What's up, Mike, what's up?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Just sening love to two of my faves. That's from
Stacey in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ready to see Mike's
new look regarding his hair or a different vibe, let's go.
It's from Hillary and San Antonio. We did talk about
that in part one a little bit kind.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Of Yeah, I did hit a roadblock.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, first time I've seen Mike without his braces. His
teeth look great. I think she's referring to the photo
I posted with the questions, So they look awesome. Love
when I hear him giggle in the background. When you
and Mike do episodes together, they are my favorite. That's
from Becca in Ohio. Hey love a good positive start.
Do you get along with your in loss? This is
(00:57):
from Katina and Indiana.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I do. I think it's it's hard for me to
form a relationship with anybody. So that was The hardest
thing for me is just like what do I talk
to you guys about?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Did you find some things to talk about some common
I guess interests.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I think what my role in developing a relationship with
them is making jokes. That's the only thing I got,
So I still don't have like my go to things.
Like with my father in law, we can usually talk
about Texas football because he's also big Texas football fan.
I also like asking him about his job. He's in
law enforcement. Interesting, that's like, I just have so many
(01:34):
questions there. Yeah, I'll just ask him about, like what
was if you like to get taste? And then he
goes on a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You're just asking like crazy questions every year. You can
have one crazy question, yeah, and then.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He'll like show me something. I'm like, man, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's funny. Okay, But at least you guys do get along. Yeah,
you're not like outrageous. They're not outrageous.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So no, And the great thing about it is like
our both of our families get along, so we'll get
to which is really great for us. Over the holidays.
It's not unusual that we all get together for one thing.
I think one of the funniest things we ever did
was one year we went home for a Thanksgiving and
we all made them a list and it was just
both of our families together. So that's like a whole
other level of not only do I get along with
(02:14):
my in laws. I think it was a big thing
for me for my family to also get along with
her family. I think that's something we've always done. I
don't know if it's a Mexican culture thing, but like
both those families come together a lot, Like we always
just mixed everybody together. So if you're with somebody and
your families don't get along, like that's that's a tough thing.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, for sure, And that's so cool. That makes a
life a little bit easier for you guys where you
don't have to pick. Yeah, you go see how you
go see them, what time. It's like, everybody's just together
and we're all hanging out. Who hosts that? When you
guys do that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We usually go to my wife's house, parents' house, in laws.
I don't know why it was trying to me to say,
I was trying to think of where we go. Yeah,
that's easier because it's kind of the middle point. Because
My parents are about an hour and a half fish north,
my sister and brother about an hour south, so we
all come together in the middle, and it's just like
(03:06):
easiest on everybody.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh, that's so fun. I love that. Hopefully I have
that one day or that in laws getting along like that,
that'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, it makes everything easier.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
We did have My parents were in town for Thanksgiving,
and my sister and my boyfriend's parents were also in town,
so they ended up coming over to the house and
all hanging out together, and that was cool. And I
just kept looking at each other, like this is awesome.
Everybody's hanging out. And we hang out with my sister's
husband's family lot, so her in laws and like they
(03:36):
all mingle too. I'm like, dang, we just gotta have
a bunch of mingling in laws and it's gonna be fun.
And everybody seems to get along. So it is cool
and that happens. It's rare, I feel like, unfortunately, but
it's cool when it does.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I mean, I had TV and movies made me think
that would be impossible.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Right, Like everything that I know about in laws is
like they're horrible. Like I've had great experiences so far.
What family traditions do you have over the holidays? Christine
from ont Canada.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Like I mentioned earlier, making damalis, that was the thing
that we've been doing for a long time. I was
always on the assembly duty. So essentially, you take the
what it's called massa, which is like what the actual
thing is made of, like all the corn meal and
all that mixed together. Yeah, and you slap it on
the corn husk. So I would do that and then
just prepare those.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Okay, and do you eat the corn husk? No, I've
always wondered.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Those about to No. So you you take the massa,
you put it on the corn husk, then you put
your chicken or your meat, and then your sausa on
top of it, and then you fold it up like
a little like fold it over, fold it down, and
then you put them all in a big pot and
they're in the corn hust so they can cook in that. Oh,
so it kind of like all the steam cooks the inside.
(04:44):
And then when you take it out, you just and
not the call mesa the masa.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Masa is that like a wrap.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, the massa is like the actual like it's like
the I guess it would kind of be like if
you're making bread, like the dough oh okay, being part
of it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I wondered how it was all held together.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Do you just open up cornhouse it's like corn meal
and like salt and pig lard you make. It's all
like disgusting things you put in there, but it tastes delicious, okay,
and it holds all that together. Yeah, So it's essentially
the foundation of it, okay, and then whatever you want
in it. Sometimes we would make someone like just cheese
in there. You can make like sweet ones. You can
(05:25):
do all kinds of different things, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Kind of like having a ninchilada, but it's more of
a process to cook it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Or no, no, because is just like a thty and
I mean kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I've always wondered those about tomalas because I see them
and I've always wanted to try it, but I never have.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You've never had a themala, mostly.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Because I can't find cheese ones, Like when you're vegetarian,
it's really hard to find tamalais that you can eat.
They make a lot of meat ones. Yeah, so I've
never been able to find.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We would always just experiment with things I'd be like,
what do we just put beans in the sun?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, okay, you might have to teach me how to
make them.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Sometimes they're kind of hard.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, I'm just gonna have to come to Texas sometimes
your parents are gonna have to make me.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Like my mom is like responsible for making the actual
the masa that's I don't really know what you all
you put in it. I just know once that is made,
I can assemble it.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Got it, okay?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Follow The hardest part is making that part of it.
What I do is like the easy part.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I love that one of our traditions is also making food,
but it's a lot easier than that. It's just sugar cookies,
and it's funny. The recipe that we have is one
of us. I think it's my sister who wrote it
when she was a kid and we still have it
to this day where she's like really bad writing. Literally
it's like six ingredients. I'm pretty sure some of the
words are smelled wrong on it. And we make them
and then we ice them all together. It's a fun
(06:41):
little Christmas activity and they're the best sugar cookies ever.
It is. They're homemade.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
What's in the icing?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The icne we get from different We've tried a bunch
of different kinds. So the icing itself we buy from
other places. Okay, we typically get like cream cheese icing.
But the sugar cookies, Man, once you've had a homemade
sugar cookie, and it makes all those store bought ones
really difficult to eat.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I love the store ball. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And if you had like a I'm gonna try this
year to make vegan gluten free version of it. If
I accomplish it, I'll bring you one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I would eat one of those.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Because I can also tell if it's gonna taste the
same or not. I'm very particular about baking sweets that
taste good. If I'm gonna make you eat it without
like all the normal ingredients, if it tastes good, I'll
bring it. If you don't get one, just know it failed.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Gluten Free is really hard to do because my wife
is gluten free and she always has me like taste tests,
things like is this actually gluten free? I'm like, I
can tell. I'm like it's just not quite there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I've I've actually I've gotten to an art a
lot with cooking and baking with gluten free stuff and vegan,
like I've found the right butters, I should be using
the right one to one ratios of things. I'm adjusting.
So now this is gonna be the big plunge to
see if I can replicate Christmas treats that way. So
you'll either get one or you wont because I won't
be good.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I mean, there are some things when it comes to
like baking things that you can make vegan, you'd never tell.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, like the chick Be brownies I make. They're the
best brownies I've ever had. I'm not kidding. I've had
a whole lot of brownies in my life, and these
things are the best.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And people would be deterred from them just because they're like,
oh they're vegan, they must be gross.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And they're not nice because they're like fresh ingredients. It's
different than like a yeah, you get a bunch of
sugar and stuff. But something about eating fresh ingredients your
body kind of knows it. It was like, oh, that's actually
really good. I didn't know I didn't need the other stuff. Now.
Weird how that happens. What is the best lesson you've
learned from Bobby IZZYB in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I think probably The first thing I learned from him
is like, just show up, because I think that was
the key to me even being here. It was because
I wasn't. Whenever I started, I measured him on my
Space saying I want some advice on starting a podcast.
This was back in twenty ten when podcasts really weren't
a thing yet. He invited me up to the radio show,
(08:51):
back when they were still in Austin, and I saw
all the interns there that they had, and I was like,
I want to do that. And whenever I started, I
realized there was maybe five people who are better than
me in every aspect. And I was like, how can
I get this job that I want, that's been my
dream and make it a reality when all these people
(09:12):
are better than me? And I realized I didn't really
have to do with talent. It was more about showing up.
So we were only required to come in two days
a week. I started coming in three days. Some other
people already come in three days. I came in four days,
until I was coming in every single day and showing
up and just being reliable. And that's what I learned
from him, Like, it's not about how much talent you
(09:34):
have or where you come from. It's about how you
can show up and just kind of be there. I
think reliability and showing up is more important than anything.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Mm hmm. It's a really good skill to have and
one that's also difficult right now. Honestly, I feel like
it's hard to find people who want to show up.
We're in a crazy state right now, you know, like
not state the actual but state of the world. It's
hard to find that right now. So those are good
quality traits. It's a good lesson. If you could be
(10:05):
cast in any movie you were old, what would it be?
Amanda in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So I could go back and be in an old movie.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You could be in whatever you want. According to Amanda.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I want to go back to nineteen thirty nine and
be in the first Wizard of Oz movie.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, what character would you play?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I would want to I don't even know that. I'd
want to be a man. I would want to be
the Wizard. Give me the Wizard role.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, you don't want to be a munchkin? No?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I think I would take the Wizard role because it's
an important role, but also like not the biggest role,
and I would really just want to go back to
nineteen thirty nine and see the crazy things that went
into making that movie.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, because it was so iconic. Wasn't it the first
color movie?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It was not the first color movie, but it was
one of the first to really like utilize all aspects
of it, Okay, because they really emphasize that one scene
wherever it goes from like black and white to color.
So I think that was like the most inspirational part
of that. But I think there were a few other
color movies before that, maybe more than that.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Dang, I've been lying to you this whole time. I
really thought that was the first color movie for sure.
It is, especially growing up in Kansas. I'm pretty sure
we all that was.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
The first color movie ever.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, you know, I can't believe everything.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
He is probably the most famous first of the Ara
color movies.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's a lot of words in there that were not
included when I got told about that. Okay, we're gonna
take a quick break and we will be right back.
Did you know, speaking of before we dive into this,
I was in a Wizard of Amice play when I
was younger, and that's why I mentioned munching, because I
gotta be a Munchkin and I gotta be a flying monkey.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Dang, that's a solid role had.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I was a little kid and I was on for
the flying Monkey. I was on roller skates.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Did you have a line at all?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh? Heck no, No, I was part of the ensemble.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Dang, that's cool though.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's a fun experience. My sister and I did it together.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So I think I was in one play growing up
and I had one line and then up until the
actual performance and they cut my line.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
That's the worst.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They gave it to somebody else, and I was never
explained why.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You Probably was a kid like pretty hurt by that
really wanted my one line.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And I remember it because it was a It was
a play like about America, and I had to deliver
a line about the first I think this was back
whenever the first gold coin came out, speaking of gold
and things and it was like about saka Juwea and
I had that line. I was like, I memorized it.
I was ready to go, and they were like, yeah,
someone else is going to do that line.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You're like, why what did I say?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
What did I do? Why did I get cut? Sody
have dirt on me in this elementary school.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Some parent, probably some political thing, parent really wanted their
kid to have that line. Also did Annie, and I
was an orphaned kid his I sang that song as cleaning.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I did a few of those shows growing up, but
they were always like the big ones that you know about.
But no, I never had big roles. I was not Annie.
I was in Dorothy, just a little flying monkey. Did Mike.
I only attend run Club Rebecca in New Mexico.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Never did.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You had all of twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I know, and they even added like a longer run
club where they start earlier and they run like six
to seven miles, which is probably more like why I
would be interested in. But nah, I even had the
opportunity recently and I was like, I just don't think
that's for me.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay, So now have you changed and you don't think
it's for you?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
No, I think it's not because I feel like the
social aspect of it I won't enjoy when it comes
to running. I think I need to find something different.
Because when I was so close to actually going to one,
I started thinking about like the time I was going
to be invested in it. I was like I could
just do this on my own, get more enjoyment at
(13:48):
a running by myself than I would if I went
and had the social aspect of it. I just think
I think it needs to be separate. I tried to
combine the thing I enjoy doing with the thing I
want to do. Is you know, form some friendships, and
I just don't think that's the route I want to take.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's fair. You can always find friends and find out
that they like running, and then maybe it becomes like
you have a running buddy at some point, just like
one instead of a whole group of them. Yeah, might
be more of the right alley, but that's fair. Okay.
So in twenty twenty six, new year, you're going to
try and find a new way.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, makes find some other social thing.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
There's another one. Throw it out there. Tips to increase
running distance Katie and Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
My suggestion is you can go a lot further than
you think. So no matter what.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I don't feel that way much, No matter what.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Distance you are doing, add one more and just try it. Yeah,
just that be your goal.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
You make me add one mile to my already one mile,
I'll die, I will die. You will be picking me
up from the side of the road.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
And I feel like I might have a little bit
of a disconnect with this at this point because recently,
I one of my wife's friends signed up for what
she thought was a five K and it ended up
being five miles. Oh gosh, And I was like, that's
not that much. I like three point one to five.
And I realized, to like an average person, maybe that
(15:10):
is adding a lot. To me, that's not much. Like
I'll go run.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Hey, kass, you run it for a half mine every.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Morning I'll say like, okay, I'm gonna run ten. I
ended up running thirteen, and to me, that's that's as normal.
And I'm like, oh, I guess to people who don't
run as much as I do, adding an extra two
miles is a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It is a lot. So did you know doing it?
She did it, but she's like, I'm gonna kill you.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But I would say, just add a little bit more
to what you set out to do. I still do that.
If I want to go do ten and I feel good,
I'll do eleven. I'll push myself because that's kind of
how you grow when it comes to adding on mileage
to long distance, because really it's all mental. And I
think if you were trying to train for maybe a
(15:54):
half marathon, if you can run six, you can run
thirteen point one. I think in a race setting you
can always do double what you can do normally, because.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
So you're saying I gonna do two miles.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yes, because that added an adrenaline of being at like
in that race environment, of like seeing people there, you
got your bib on, You're like psyched up, you're pumped.
That adds a lot to the mental part of it
because there's this other force driving you as you go along.
The first time I ran a marathon was here, and
(16:27):
what really drove me to finishing was thinking, I cannot
go back to the show not completing this.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
That's shame of it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The shame of me not completing this. That was so
hard for me that first time doing it, and I
was miserable. But I remember at one point thinking I
cannot quit because I'm not going to go in on
Monday and say I didn't finish.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Listen, the shame of the show. Did you do a
whole lot of things? I understand that's good though, that's
good advice, and it is a mental game for sure.
Could I run more miles probably I don't want to, though.
I literally add the mental block myself, and I said
I immediately, I'm like watching my watch the whole time.
One mile ogay or wrap it up. Those are good tips. Hopefully, Katie,
(17:07):
you can do some running like Mike half marathons on
it every Saturday. Do you ever eat the foods you
used to eat on your Christmas perch? It's from jameson
Virginia kind of.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Hit on this, Yeah, but I don't anymore. Yeah, because
the perche I used to go like, I would map
out everything from breakfast to dinner. I would add in
like I always look forward to having pancakes, but I
haven't had a pancake in gosh, three or four years.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Dang, Okay, I've had pancake, but I haven't be able
to master a vegan one. I've mastered of gluten free ones.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, yeah, my wife's had gluten free ones that she
really enjoys.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
But you haven't tried to dine with the holes.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And then the other things I would. I mean, I've
had I guess I haven't had real pizza in a while,
which I feel like I don't want to eat vegan
pizza because I don't feel like that's real pizza, and
I don't want the thing that tries to resemble something else.
There are some things that are really close that I
can't tell the difference between pizza is one of those
(18:08):
things that will never translate.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
No, you know what, vegan cheese. I've actually found something
that I like, but it being melted.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, it's hard to melt it.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's hard. Like I like it. If it doesn't have
to be melted, it tastes fine. But the second you
melt it, we've got some other tastes happening in there.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And it's not even the cheese when it comes to
vegan pizza, but it's the things that people will associate
with being good toppings for a vegan pizza, Like I
don't want to salad on top of my pizza.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, you like it just straight up like cheese and
pepperoni pizza. Yeah, that's stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I'm like, I just won't even attempt to make
a vegan version of this.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You know what's funny, though, is I had when my
family was in town. They all wanted pizza from the
spot that we've loved for several years now, and we
got it and I tried it, and I was about
three bites in, I'm like, this doesn't taste the same
to me anymore. That was a weird experience where it's
like I've like cleansed my body of a whole bunch
of stuff. I don't think you liked that anymore. I
was like that usually my favorite pizza. I had like
an identity crisis in that moment. It was weird. So
(19:06):
I do wonder if pizza would taste as good to
you now?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I think it would. I think that's the one thing
I miss really because like I used to that was
like my main food group back in the day, like
going to cecs for five ninety nine, like that was
my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Okay, So then when you go and try and eat
pizza again, I need you to go have a Ceci's pizza,
and I need you to tell me if you had
the same experience or if like same taste you loved
it still good.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I literally had this thought the other day of like,
I have so many great memories from about maybe six
to twenty four going to Ceci's pizza, but.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Cecison one that how the dessert pizza? Yeah, yes, I
loved that place.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Like they had like the pineapple one, they had the brownies,
they had the rolls, they had like the chocolate pizza.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Is it the one though? No, I'm thinking of one
that had like crumbles and icing on it.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I think it was like pineapple, No, because I don't
like pineapple. Oh they have Maybe it was cinnamonkay, Maybe
it was cinnamon. Maybe they had a different versions of it.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Probably did. But I need to know if you ever
do design to test this again, I need to know
your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I think the last time I had CC's was when
I was training for my first half marathon and I
was like, I got a carveload CC's and it tastes
a good bit. Yeah, and that was maybe nine years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Okay, so that's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I need.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I need to report back when it's no pressure for
it to happen at any point in time. But if
you do.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I went to CCS so much that the manager knew
me and my brother.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's amazing. Did you get discounts?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No, but he already knew exactly like we would always
get the cheapest version. We'd get tube pas with waters.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I feel like you should have got like some Cubans
at some point.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I mean he.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Recognized you keep coming back, all right. The last one
any family Plans Love Mike's podcast with his wife The
Best Book INDSPO. This is from Isabelle in Texas. I'm
assuming this is referring to maybe having kids. I'm not
entirely sure.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'll say family, Yeah, we're hanging out with them.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I think that's more what she was relating to.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I would say we're in like talks of like seeing
a future of us having kids. I think this is
the closest we've been to talking like it's a reality.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, that's a step. You can go on, any step.
I'll cheer you guys on no matter what, because.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think, was it, like twenty twenty we said within
the next maybe twenty I guess when we got married
in twenty one, we said within the next five years,
and now we're like closing on that gap. I think
we want twenty twenty six fully to be the year
we do all the things that we won't be able
to do once we have kids.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Of Like, so you're gonna have a year of what
lunch Ross calls the bachelor party.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, because my wife still has some places she wants
to travel too that we haven't been yet. And then
I think I have some things I want to do
that I just need to do before before I have
any more responsibility.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Okay, I love this well. And then you never know
what you guys decide. It could be like, well, we're
having too much fun.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, I get it, And I think it's also right
now we know so many people who are pragant and
having kids that it just feels like there's something like
around us, like not really a sign, but just feels
like like unintended pressure but not Yeah, it's not pressure.
It's just like a weird coincidence because I don't think
all these people we know just decided we should all
(22:28):
get right in around the same time. Yeah, But I
think it's just something a little bit more comforting knowing
that there's other people around you that you know that
could give you advice. Where I think when you're younger,
you're like you have a kid, and you're like nobody
I can go to except my parents, Like nobody else
is going through this. Yeah, So I think it's kind
of like knowing that there's a support system out there
(22:51):
that if we have like questions or help with something
like there are people around us, because it's also hard
for us because our families aren't here.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You need a village here, help if you need a community. Yeah,
that's very important. That's a big part of that whole process. Too,
well exciting. Sorry, it's a weird question. I was like,
as I was reading, I was like, I realized that
maybe you should don't mean that. Okay, Well, we're wrapping
up here, Mike, Happy New Year.

though Mike d is joining me.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
What's up, Mike, what's up?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Just sening love to two of my faves. That's from
Stacey in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ready to see Mike's
new look regarding his hair or a different vibe, let's go.
It's from Hillary and San Antonio. We did talk about
that in part one a little bit kind.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Of Yeah, I did hit a roadblock.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, first time I've seen Mike without his braces. His
teeth look great. I think she's referring to the photo
I posted with the questions, So they look awesome. Love
when I hear him giggle in the background. When you
and Mike do episodes together, they are my favorite. That's
from Becca in Ohio. Hey love a good positive start.
Do you get along with your in loss? This is
(00:57):
from Katina and Indiana.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I do. I think it's it's hard for me to
form a relationship with anybody. So that was The hardest
thing for me is just like what do I talk
to you guys about?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Did you find some things to talk about some common
I guess interests.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I think what my role in developing a relationship with
them is making jokes. That's the only thing I got,
So I still don't have like my go to things.
Like with my father in law, we can usually talk
about Texas football because he's also big Texas football fan.
I also like asking him about his job. He's in
law enforcement. Interesting, that's like, I just have so many
(01:34):
questions there. Yeah, I'll just ask him about, like what
was if you like to get taste? And then he
goes on a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You're just asking like crazy questions every year. You can
have one crazy question, yeah, and then.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
He'll like show me something. I'm like, man, that's wild.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's funny. Okay, But at least you guys do get along. Yeah,
you're not like outrageous. They're not outrageous.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So no, And the great thing about it is like
our both of our families get along, so we'll get
to which is really great for us. Over the holidays.
It's not unusual that we all get together for one thing.
I think one of the funniest things we ever did
was one year we went home for a Thanksgiving and
we all made them a list and it was just
both of our families together. So that's like a whole
other level of not only do I get along with
(02:14):
my in laws. I think it was a big thing
for me for my family to also get along with
her family. I think that's something we've always done. I
don't know if it's a Mexican culture thing, but like
both those families come together a lot, Like we always
just mixed everybody together. So if you're with somebody and
your families don't get along, like that's that's a tough thing.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, for sure, And that's so cool. That makes a
life a little bit easier for you guys where you
don't have to pick. Yeah, you go see how you
go see them, what time. It's like, everybody's just together
and we're all hanging out. Who hosts that? When you
guys do that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We usually go to my wife's house, parents' house, in laws.
I don't know why it was trying to me to say,
I was trying to think of where we go. Yeah,
that's easier because it's kind of the middle point. Because
My parents are about an hour and a half fish north,
my sister and brother about an hour south, so we
all come together in the middle, and it's just like
(03:06):
easiest on everybody.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Oh, that's so fun. I love that. Hopefully I have
that one day or that in laws getting along like that,
that'd be cool.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, it makes everything easier.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
We did have My parents were in town for Thanksgiving,
and my sister and my boyfriend's parents were also in town,
so they ended up coming over to the house and
all hanging out together, and that was cool. And I
just kept looking at each other, like this is awesome.
Everybody's hanging out. And we hang out with my sister's
husband's family lot, so her in laws and like they
(03:36):
all mingle too. I'm like, dang, we just gotta have
a bunch of mingling in laws and it's gonna be fun.
And everybody seems to get along. So it is cool
and that happens. It's rare, I feel like, unfortunately, but
it's cool when it does.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I mean, I had TV and movies made me think
that would be impossible.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Right, Like everything that I know about in laws is
like they're horrible. Like I've had great experiences so far.
What family traditions do you have over the holidays? Christine
from ont Canada.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Like I mentioned earlier, making damalis, that was the thing
that we've been doing for a long time. I was
always on the assembly duty. So essentially, you take the
what it's called massa, which is like what the actual
thing is made of, like all the corn meal and
all that mixed together. Yeah, and you slap it on
the corn husk. So I would do that and then
just prepare those.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Okay, and do you eat the corn husk? No, I've
always wondered.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Those about to No. So you you take the massa,
you put it on the corn husk, then you put
your chicken or your meat, and then your sausa on
top of it, and then you fold it up like
a little like fold it over, fold it down, and
then you put them all in a big pot and
they're in the corn hust so they can cook in that. Oh,
so it kind of like all the steam cooks the inside.
(04:44):
And then when you take it out, you just and
not the call mesa the masa.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Masa is that like a wrap.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No, the massa is like the actual like it's like
the I guess it would kind of be like if
you're making bread, like the dough oh okay, being part
of it. Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I wondered how it was all held together.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Do you just open up cornhouse it's like corn meal
and like salt and pig lard you make. It's all
like disgusting things you put in there, but it tastes delicious, okay,
and it holds all that together. Yeah, So it's essentially
the foundation of it, okay, and then whatever you want
in it. Sometimes we would make someone like just cheese
in there. You can make like sweet ones. You can
(05:25):
do all kinds of different things, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Kind of like having a ninchilada, but it's more of
a process to cook it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Or no, no, because is just like a thty and
I mean kind of.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I've always wondered those about tomalas because I see them
and I've always wanted to try it, but I never have.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
You've never had a themala, mostly.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Because I can't find cheese ones, Like when you're vegetarian,
it's really hard to find tamalais that you can eat.
They make a lot of meat ones. Yeah, so I've
never been able to find.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We would always just experiment with things I'd be like,
what do we just put beans in the sun?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, okay, you might have to teach me how to
make them.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Sometimes they're kind of hard.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Okay, I'm just gonna have to come to Texas sometimes
your parents are gonna have to make me.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Like my mom is like responsible for making the actual
the masa that's I don't really know what you all
you put in it. I just know once that is made,
I can assemble it.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Got it, okay?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Follow The hardest part is making that part of it.
What I do is like the easy part.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I love that one of our traditions is also making food,
but it's a lot easier than that. It's just sugar cookies,
and it's funny. The recipe that we have is one
of us. I think it's my sister who wrote it
when she was a kid and we still have it
to this day where she's like really bad writing. Literally
it's like six ingredients. I'm pretty sure some of the
words are smelled wrong on it. And we make them
and then we ice them all together. It's a fun
(06:41):
little Christmas activity and they're the best sugar cookies ever.
It is. They're homemade.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
What's in the icing?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
The icne we get from different We've tried a bunch
of different kinds. So the icing itself we buy from
other places. Okay, we typically get like cream cheese icing.
But the sugar cookies, Man, once you've had a homemade
sugar cookie, and it makes all those store bought ones
really difficult to eat.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I love the store ball. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
And if you had like a I'm gonna try this
year to make vegan gluten free version of it. If
I accomplish it, I'll bring you one.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I would eat one of those.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Because I can also tell if it's gonna taste the
same or not. I'm very particular about baking sweets that
taste good. If I'm gonna make you eat it without
like all the normal ingredients, if it tastes good, I'll
bring it. If you don't get one, just know it failed.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Gluten Free is really hard to do because my wife
is gluten free and she always has me like taste tests,
things like is this actually gluten free? I'm like, I
can tell. I'm like it's just not quite there. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And I've I've actually I've gotten to an art a
lot with cooking and baking with gluten free stuff and vegan,
like I've found the right butters, I should be using
the right one to one ratios of things. I'm adjusting.
So now this is gonna be the big plunge to
see if I can replicate Christmas treats that way. So
you'll either get one or you wont because I won't
be good.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I mean, there are some things when it comes to
like baking things that you can make vegan, you'd never tell.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Yeah, like the chick Be brownies I make. They're the
best brownies I've ever had. I'm not kidding. I've had
a whole lot of brownies in my life, and these
things are the best.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And people would be deterred from them just because they're like,
oh they're vegan, they must be gross.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And they're not nice because they're like fresh ingredients. It's
different than like a yeah, you get a bunch of
sugar and stuff. But something about eating fresh ingredients your
body kind of knows it. It was like, oh, that's actually
really good. I didn't know I didn't need the other stuff. Now.
Weird how that happens. What is the best lesson you've
learned from Bobby IZZYB in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I think probably The first thing I learned from him
is like, just show up, because I think that was
the key to me even being here. It was because
I wasn't. Whenever I started, I measured him on my
Space saying I want some advice on starting a podcast.
This was back in twenty ten when podcasts really weren't
a thing yet. He invited me up to the radio show,
(08:51):
back when they were still in Austin, and I saw
all the interns there that they had, and I was like,
I want to do that. And whenever I started, I
realized there was maybe five people who are better than
me in every aspect. And I was like, how can
I get this job that I want, that's been my
dream and make it a reality when all these people
(09:12):
are better than me? And I realized I didn't really
have to do with talent. It was more about showing up.
So we were only required to come in two days
a week. I started coming in three days. Some other
people already come in three days. I came in four days,
until I was coming in every single day and showing
up and just being reliable. And that's what I learned
from him, Like, it's not about how much talent you
(09:34):
have or where you come from. It's about how you
can show up and just kind of be there. I
think reliability and showing up is more important than anything.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Mm hmm. It's a really good skill to have and
one that's also difficult right now. Honestly, I feel like
it's hard to find people who want to show up.
We're in a crazy state right now, you know, like
not state the actual but state of the world. It's
hard to find that right now. So those are good
quality traits. It's a good lesson. If you could be
(10:05):
cast in any movie you were old, what would it be?
Amanda in Indiana?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So I could go back and be in an old movie.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You could be in whatever you want. According to Amanda.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I want to go back to nineteen thirty nine and
be in the first Wizard of Oz movie.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, what character would you play?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I would want to I don't even know that. I'd
want to be a man. I would want to be
the Wizard. Give me the Wizard role.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, you don't want to be a munchkin? No?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I think I would take the Wizard role because it's
an important role, but also like not the biggest role,
and I would really just want to go back to
nineteen thirty nine and see the crazy things that went
into making that movie.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, because it was so iconic. Wasn't it the first
color movie?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It was not the first color movie, but it was
one of the first to really like utilize all aspects
of it, Okay, because they really emphasize that one scene
wherever it goes from like black and white to color.
So I think that was like the most inspirational part
of that. But I think there were a few other
color movies before that, maybe more than that.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Dang, I've been lying to you this whole time. I
really thought that was the first color movie for sure.
It is, especially growing up in Kansas. I'm pretty sure
we all that was.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
The first color movie ever.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, you know, I can't believe everything.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
He is probably the most famous first of the Ara
color movies.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
That's a lot of words in there that were not
included when I got told about that. Okay, we're gonna
take a quick break and we will be right back.
Did you know, speaking of before we dive into this,
I was in a Wizard of Amice play when I
was younger, and that's why I mentioned munching, because I
gotta be a Munchkin and I gotta be a flying monkey.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Dang, that's a solid role had.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I was a little kid and I was on for
the flying Monkey. I was on roller skates.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Did you have a line at all?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Oh? Heck no, No, I was part of the ensemble.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Dang, that's cool though.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's a fun experience. My sister and I did it together.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So I think I was in one play growing up
and I had one line and then up until the
actual performance and they cut my line.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
That's the worst.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
They gave it to somebody else, and I was never
explained why.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
You Probably was a kid like pretty hurt by that
really wanted my one line.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And I remember it because it was a It was
a play like about America, and I had to deliver
a line about the first I think this was back
whenever the first gold coin came out, speaking of gold
and things and it was like about saka Juwea and
I had that line. I was like, I memorized it.
I was ready to go, and they were like, yeah,
someone else is going to do that line.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
You're like, why what did I say?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
What did I do? Why did I get cut? Sody
have dirt on me in this elementary school.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Some parent, probably some political thing, parent really wanted their
kid to have that line. Also did Annie, and I
was an orphaned kid his I sang that song as cleaning.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Uh. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I did a few of those shows growing up, but
they were always like the big ones that you know about.
But no, I never had big roles. I was not Annie.
I was in Dorothy, just a little flying monkey. Did Mike.
I only attend run Club Rebecca in New Mexico.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I did not.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Never did.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
You had all of twenty five.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I know, and they even added like a longer run
club where they start earlier and they run like six
to seven miles, which is probably more like why I
would be interested in. But nah, I even had the
opportunity recently and I was like, I just don't think
that's for me.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Okay, So now have you changed and you don't think
it's for you?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
No, I think it's not because I feel like the
social aspect of it I won't enjoy when it comes
to running. I think I need to find something different.
Because when I was so close to actually going to one,
I started thinking about like the time I was going
to be invested in it. I was like I could
just do this on my own, get more enjoyment at
(13:48):
a running by myself than I would if I went
and had the social aspect of it. I just think
I think it needs to be separate. I tried to
combine the thing I enjoy doing with the thing I
want to do. Is you know, form some friendships, and
I just don't think that's the route I want to take.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
That's fair. You can always find friends and find out
that they like running, and then maybe it becomes like
you have a running buddy at some point, just like
one instead of a whole group of them. Yeah, might
be more of the right alley, but that's fair. Okay.
So in twenty twenty six, new year, you're going to
try and find a new way.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, makes find some other social thing.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
There's another one. Throw it out there. Tips to increase
running distance Katie and Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
My suggestion is you can go a lot further than
you think. So no matter what.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I don't feel that way much, No matter what.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Distance you are doing, add one more and just try it. Yeah,
just that be your goal.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
You make me add one mile to my already one mile,
I'll die, I will die. You will be picking me
up from the side of the road.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
And I feel like I might have a little bit
of a disconnect with this at this point because recently,
I one of my wife's friends signed up for what
she thought was a five K and it ended up
being five miles. Oh gosh, And I was like, that's
not that much. I like three point one to five.
And I realized, to like an average person, maybe that
(15:10):
is adding a lot. To me, that's not much. Like
I'll go run.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Hey, kass, you run it for a half mine every.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Morning I'll say like, okay, I'm gonna run ten. I
ended up running thirteen, and to me, that's that's as normal.
And I'm like, oh, I guess to people who don't
run as much as I do, adding an extra two
miles is a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It is a lot. So did you know doing it?
She did it, but she's like, I'm gonna kill you.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
But I would say, just add a little bit more
to what you set out to do. I still do that.
If I want to go do ten and I feel good,
I'll do eleven. I'll push myself because that's kind of
how you grow when it comes to adding on mileage
to long distance, because really it's all mental. And I
think if you were trying to train for maybe a
(15:54):
half marathon, if you can run six, you can run
thirteen point one. I think in a race setting you
can always do double what you can do normally, because.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
So you're saying I gonna do two miles.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yes, because that added an adrenaline of being at like
in that race environment, of like seeing people there, you
got your bib on, You're like psyched up, you're pumped.
That adds a lot to the mental part of it
because there's this other force driving you as you go along.
The first time I ran a marathon was here, and
(16:27):
what really drove me to finishing was thinking, I cannot
go back to the show not completing this.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
That's shame of it.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
The shame of me not completing this. That was so
hard for me that first time doing it, and I
was miserable. But I remember at one point thinking I
cannot quit because I'm not going to go in on
Monday and say I didn't finish.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Listen, the shame of the show. Did you do a
whole lot of things? I understand that's good though, that's
good advice, and it is a mental game for sure.
Could I run more miles probably I don't want to, though.
I literally add the mental block myself, and I said
I immediately, I'm like watching my watch the whole time.
One mile ogay or wrap it up. Those are good tips. Hopefully, Katie,
(17:07):
you can do some running like Mike half marathons on
it every Saturday. Do you ever eat the foods you
used to eat on your Christmas perch? It's from jameson
Virginia kind of.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Hit on this, Yeah, but I don't anymore. Yeah, because
the perche I used to go like, I would map
out everything from breakfast to dinner. I would add in
like I always look forward to having pancakes, but I
haven't had a pancake in gosh, three or four years.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Dang, Okay, I've had pancake, but I haven't be able
to master a vegan one. I've mastered of gluten free ones.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, yeah, my wife's had gluten free ones that she
really enjoys.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
But you haven't tried to dine with the holes.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
And then the other things I would. I mean, I've
had I guess I haven't had real pizza in a while,
which I feel like I don't want to eat vegan
pizza because I don't feel like that's real pizza, and
I don't want the thing that tries to resemble something else.
There are some things that are really close that I
can't tell the difference between pizza is one of those
(18:08):
things that will never translate.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
No, you know what, vegan cheese. I've actually found something
that I like, but it being melted.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, it's hard to melt it.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's hard. Like I like it. If it doesn't have
to be melted, it tastes fine. But the second you
melt it, we've got some other tastes happening in there.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And it's not even the cheese when it comes to
vegan pizza, but it's the things that people will associate
with being good toppings for a vegan pizza, Like I
don't want to salad on top of my pizza.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Yeah, you like it just straight up like cheese and
pepperoni pizza. Yeah, that's stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I'm like, I just won't even attempt to make
a vegan version of this.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
You know what's funny, though, is I had when my
family was in town. They all wanted pizza from the
spot that we've loved for several years now, and we
got it and I tried it, and I was about
three bites in, I'm like, this doesn't taste the same
to me anymore. That was a weird experience where it's
like I've like cleansed my body of a whole bunch
of stuff. I don't think you liked that anymore. I
was like that usually my favorite pizza. I had like
an identity crisis in that moment. It was weird. So
(19:06):
I do wonder if pizza would taste as good to
you now?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I think it would. I think that's the one thing
I miss really because like I used to that was
like my main food group back in the day, like
going to cecs for five ninety nine, like that was
my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Okay, So then when you go and try and eat
pizza again, I need you to go have a Ceci's pizza,
and I need you to tell me if you had
the same experience or if like same taste you loved
it still good.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I literally had this thought the other day of like,
I have so many great memories from about maybe six
to twenty four going to Ceci's pizza, but.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Cecison one that how the dessert pizza? Yeah, yes, I
loved that place.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Like they had like the pineapple one, they had the brownies,
they had the rolls, they had like the chocolate pizza.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Is it the one though? No, I'm thinking of one
that had like crumbles and icing on it.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I think it was like pineapple, No, because I don't
like pineapple. Oh they have Maybe it was cinnamonkay, Maybe
it was cinnamon. Maybe they had a different versions of it.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Probably did. But I need to know if you ever
do design to test this again, I need to know
your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I think the last time I had CC's was when
I was training for my first half marathon and I
was like, I got a carveload CC's and it tastes
a good bit. Yeah, and that was maybe nine years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Okay, so that's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I need.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I need to report back when it's no pressure for
it to happen at any point in time. But if
you do.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I went to CCS so much that the manager knew
me and my brother.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's amazing. Did you get discounts?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No, but he already knew exactly like we would always
get the cheapest version. We'd get tube pas with waters.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I feel like you should have got like some Cubans
at some point.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I mean he.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Recognized you keep coming back, all right. The last one
any family Plans Love Mike's podcast with his wife The
Best Book INDSPO. This is from Isabelle in Texas. I'm
assuming this is referring to maybe having kids. I'm not
entirely sure.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'll say family, Yeah, we're hanging out with them.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
I think that's more what she was relating to.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I would say we're in like talks of like seeing
a future of us having kids. I think this is
the closest we've been to talking like it's a reality.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Okay, that's a step. You can go on, any step.
I'll cheer you guys on no matter what, because.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I think, was it, like twenty twenty we said within
the next maybe twenty I guess when we got married
in twenty one, we said within the next five years,
and now we're like closing on that gap. I think
we want twenty twenty six fully to be the year
we do all the things that we won't be able
to do once we have kids.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Of Like, so you're gonna have a year of what
lunch Ross calls the bachelor party.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, because my wife still has some places she wants
to travel too that we haven't been yet. And then
I think I have some things I want to do
that I just need to do before before I have
any more responsibility.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Okay, I love this well. And then you never know
what you guys decide. It could be like, well, we're
having too much fun.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, I get it, And I think it's also right
now we know so many people who are pragant and
having kids that it just feels like there's something like
around us, like not really a sign, but just feels
like like unintended pressure but not Yeah, it's not pressure.
It's just like a weird coincidence because I don't think
all these people we know just decided we should all
(22:28):
get right in around the same time. Yeah, But I
think it's just something a little bit more comforting knowing
that there's other people around you that you know that
could give you advice. Where I think when you're younger,
you're like you have a kid, and you're like nobody
I can go to except my parents, Like nobody else
is going through this. Yeah, So I think it's kind
of like knowing that there's a support system out there
(22:51):
that if we have like questions or help with something
like there are people around us, because it's also hard
for us because our families aren't here.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
You need a village here, help if you need a community. Yeah,
that's very important. That's a big part of that whole process. Too,
well exciting. Sorry, it's a weird question. I was like,
as I was reading, I was like, I realized that
maybe you should don't mean that. Okay, Well, we're wrapping
up here, Mike, Happy New Year.
