The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.

Part one. Behind the scenes with a member of the show. What's up, everybody? Happy weekend. Mike did you join me? What's up? Hey, what up? Thanks for hanging out with me.

We've got a lot to get into this weekend. Are you ready? I am ready. What do you want to start with first? Do you want to start with your vacation? You want to start with the fact that you no longer have braces. Let's start with the teeth, the two first. Okay, let's do it.

Tell me what's going on. It feels weird now because I feel like I can speak better, especially when I take my retainer out, because I have to wear it all the time. 22 hours a day is what they told me. I feel like that's unheard of. Normally it's just a night. For the first three months, I have to wear it all day, every day,

and then I can shift to just wearing it at night. Okay. It was so hard. How does that feel? The first week I hated it because it felt like my teeth were suffocating. It's kind of like when you sit on a couch and it has like a plastic cover on it, it just feels uncomfortable. It was really tight and they're like, it'll get better. And I was like, it's never going to get better.

But eventually it got to the point where it didn't feel like it was trapping my teeth so much. And I could take it on and take it off pretty easily because I have to take it out to eat. I take it out to do stuff like this. So at this point, I'm pretty used to it. I've been about a month now wearing it. but every now and then I'll have those days where just like I want to get this thing off my freaking mouth and I'll just have to like take it off for a second and reset. Yeah, well I mean listen I remember when I used to have to wear my invisible line all the time. I was so good at not liking it that in my sleep I would take it out and I'd know I'd have no idea.

I'd wake up and it would be the returner would be down by my feet in the bed. That's crazy. Had no idea it ever happened and I wake up like what the heck is going on? Yeah, I'll try to take it out certain parts during the show if I know something is going to come to me Just because when I do have it on and I talk with it Sometimes my teeth kind of like get stuck a little bit or my S's So but when I don't take it out I just feel like I've opened up a whole new world Because I don't have like that spit from the braces anymore

So it just feels better Yeah, I mean it definitely does sound a little bit different talking to you But honestly I don't know if maybe I just got used to it I don't know it doesn't feel that different I think it's because when I did have braces, I was so aware of it that I would over-enunciate and make sure I spoke clearly and through them. Like, I would have to speak through my teeth. So it would not catch so much, which you can't really do that with the retainer because that's literally blocking it. So maybe I got so used to it that I would overcompensate for it, but now it just feels better to talk naturally.

So what are, give me the like three best things since no longer having braces that you're like, dang, didn't see that coming? I would say the first thing is just the comfort. Like I think out of everything, just not having them poke my inside of my mouth anymore. Like that is the main thing because I'd have to go once every five weeks to get them tightened and like new wires. So for about two weeks, they just hurt again. And there was maybe another two weeks that I felt fine and then it was time to get them tightened again. So I think overall comfort is the biggest thing. Two is probably being able to eat things.

I wasn't able to eat before. Like I couldn't eat anything that was like overly crunchy. So I couldn't eat almonds or any kind of nuts. First thing I did whenever I got them off, I got some almonds. Do you love almonds? I love almonds. I love almonds. I love like chocolate covered almonds.

Anything that's like really crunchy that I couldn't eat. Even like some like bars that were like crunchier I couldn't eat. Okay. Is that just because you're worried about getting stuck? They tell you, they have like this whole list of foods that you're not supposed to eat because you could pop a bracket. Oh, I definitely ate a lot of those. Yeah, so definitely had a lot of us. They probably have more issues with, like, teenagers following those rules, which I think why it's in place.

Like, I couldn't eat candy or anything, not that I would really eat candy, but I couldn't. The only thing I wanted to eat again was nuts. Nuts, and you went straight for it. I went straight for the almonds. Did you have them, like, waiting in your car after the apartment? My wife got me some. She's like, I know you've been waiting for this. Oh, that's so great.

I still haven't had an apple. I used to eat an apple every day. And then I stopped whenever I got braces because, I mean, they say, not. to bite directly into an apple, which I never would, but I would still cut them up and eat them, but I still feel like that would have caused some problems. And I had like favorite apples that I would eat every day, but I don't know why I haven't done that yet. I kind of forgot. So apples were second on the list, but we haven't ventured back into the apple. Okay. And then three would just probably be like I feel more confident now just in the way that I look,

even though my dental work isn't done yet. It was weird the first week. The first week, I hated my teeth in the way they look because when I had braces, it almost felt like I had like a shield. Like nobody could see the shape of my teeth. No one really knew what was going on behind them. But now that I have them off, I realize like, for one, my teeth, I felt like they look huge because I hadn't seen them.

I'm like, my teeth are massive. But also, like, my teeth aren't perfect. Even though they're straight, it's the other parts of them that are like jagged a little bit. One of them, they keep asking me, like, did I get it chipped or did I bite something or did I break it? I'm like, no, I have no idea why it's like that. So I think that added to a whole other level of it that I wasn't ready for that I thought, like, they were going to be completely perfect when I took them off.

But then I kind of forgot that just the overall shape and structure of my teeth wasn't perfect going into it. So you can't really fix that unless you go and just start replacing teeth. Yeah, I mean, you could always add stuff with it because I chipped one of my front tooth. I don't even know how I did it. But they added like a tooth glue something to there and made it look back to normal. So I don't know if they could do that. I mean, I think I'm, I like the character of it. I do too.

It doesn't really, like when all of a sudden done, like I know I spent so much to have them straight. And I think I'm good with all those other little things. Yeah. I love real teeth. I mean, listen, it's really hard right now with social media because you have a lot of people that have veneers. Yeah. Especially in the celebrity world. I've heard a lot of people who regret getting them.

Like it's very much a thing and people get veneers and, you know. We've kind of gone away from this idea of what an actual smile looks like with real teeth. It's surprising when you see like an actor or a celebrity and they have their real teeth. It's refreshing at this point. Yep. So very much. I think having real teeth is really cool and you should stick with it and do what makes you feel the most happy and comfortable. That's all that matters at the end of the day.

And for some people, that is getting veneers. And that's what made them happy. I've just seemed the other person where I was like, nah, it's fine. Just be my real teeth. But I was like you when I got my braces off after like six years. That was why I cried. It was because they were so big. I was like, they're huge.

It feels like a rabbit. That took a couple of weeks just to get used to. And I think I'm used to that part of it now. Yeah. You do come down from it. It's kind of like just like a shock factor, really. I was like, put them back on. I don't want to see them like this anymore.

Okay. So what is? So you have three months with the retainer. Yeah. I'm going in next week for them to start the bridge process, which is going to be filling in the gap. Like whenever they first did all this mouth work, I had some teeth that were just beyond repair, so they removed some. So I have, now that everything is straightened out, there are gaps where those teeth never were.

So now I'm going to put in a tooth where I have like a gap right now that is probably the thing I'm most insecure about right now just because it's pretty noticeable. So I'm going in next week for them to shave down one tooth like a fraction of a centimeter so they can put in the, bridge and I'll have like a fake tooth in there for now and they're going to do like all the measuring and then I'll go back in like another month after that for them to put the real fake tooth okay and so that's what you ended up deciding because I know way back when you were trying to decide implant an implant but that seemed a little bit too invasive and it seemed like a longer recovery process more expensive and overall I just for like I was just mentioning how I don't care like for it to be fully perfect.

I'm like, I think I'm fine going the other way. So is this a tooth that as a party trick, you can pull out? Oh, that is a good question. I don't know if you can pull it out and put it back in. Because there's a guy on TikTok. I don't know who it was. I remember watching a video and he'll literally do videos and then just like pop it out and it's like his front tooth.

And then he puts it back in. I don't know if it comes out that easily. Okay. Because I know when you get the implant, they straight up screw it in there. Like they have to drill a hole to hold it and then they put it in there. But with the bridge, I have to imagine it's more secure than you being able to pop it out and pop it back in. Because I feel like if it was like that loose, wouldn't it come out when you're eating?

I don't know. But like do you take it out when you're eating? Is it like a retainer? No, it stays in there. They said it stays in there. And if I take care of it, this one could last for like 10 years. So kind of like a veneer. Okay.

So then you just replace it at some point? Yeah. So it's like a mixture as if you add a very. veneer on a retainer, like a permanent retainer. Like, I have a permanent retainer at the bottom of my teeth. Oh, yeah. How do you like, because they, Rick, they asked if I wanted that. I love it because the whole reason I had to get Envisaline six years later is because I didn't

wear my bottom retainer ever. And so it's kept them straight since getting all the invisible line done. And I don't have to worry about wearing a retainer. I'm not, like, I got a water floss pick thing because I hated flossing them down there because that's the worst part about the permanent retainer. You have to put this little needle thing in there. And it's this whole process, which I'll still floss down there, like, intensely once or twice a week. But the water pick is my day to day.

Yeah, I was just over having things on my teeth. And when I saw it, I was like, that looks like braces somewhere else. I was like, I don't even want to do that. It does, but I'll tell you, I don't even know it's there anymore. Besides flossing, I could not tell you that it's there. Randomly, a piece of food will get stuck there, but it's very rare. Oh, that's the other thing. I used to get food stuck in my braces all the time.

That sucked. But it's in the back of your teeth, so nobody sees it. You're the only one like, feel it with your tongue. It's worth it if you don't want to have to worry about wearing retainers. Like, I wear my top retainer all the time. I'm really good about that one. Now I don't pop it off in my sleep. Don't ask me why.

But my bottom retainer, for some reason, I just had so many issues and they move so easily, just even still, that it just made sense. And you can always get taken off if you don't like it. That's crazy how fast they, could move again. It seems like me going for wearing them that long that not wearing a retainer for three months would reverse a lot of it. I'm like, how does that even happen? Exactly. How can it not do it the other way? Like only have braces for three months. And it's so funny because you think when you become an adult, things stop moving and you're like,

oh, well, we're good, right? No. Your teeth move so much like well into like your senior ages. Yeah, that's annoying. I know. Okay. Well, this is good. though this is big. I know it sucks that you have to like go back and there's so more to do but do you feel overall really happy? Yeah because I see the light at the end of the tunnel and for the last who knows how long I've been going to some kind of appointment every single month that it's become so much a part of me and I'm like oh I just don't even have to think about that part anymore. I don't have to schedule another appointment and keep going and then keep going through this

discomfort cycle. Yeah and you know what I will tell you like I even doing the Invisaline the braces the ability to have your time back again. Yeah. Great feeling. I had it both because I had that and I had really, really bad vision for a really long time. So I was doing like every six months eye appointments. And to a point, I had at one point had corrective contact lenses that I wore. This is crazy.

This crazy invention. I know that existed. They're hard contact lenses and you sleep in them. And they correct your vision when you sleep. sleep. And then you wake up the next morning, you take them out with this little teeny tiny plunger that you stick on your eyeball and pull them out. And then your vision's great the entire day. I'm immediately out. You know, you have the weird thing about your neck? Yeah. I have that with my eyes. Oh, okay. Like nobody can touch my eyes. Like nobody. Not even you? No. I don't like

touching my eyes. If there's something like around it like that I need to get with the Q-tip, I can't, I can't touch it. It freaks me out. You just have to like go under the shower and let fall over your body. And I tell them that when I go do my eye exam, whenever they have to do the thing where they like puff through the puff of air in your eye, I'm like, I have a weird thing. Like, I'm not going to be, I'm not going to do well at this.

And they still do it to you? I think the last time I went, no, they do that thing now where they just take a picture of it. And they change that a little bit because I think it caused a lot of people just comfort. It is. I think that puffy thing is for glaucoma more than anything. It's like the health of your eye.

so it is an important test. But yeah. So all that to say, I had braces and I had eye appointments. Like it basically felt like I was going every other week to something. And when I got both of them all done, mind you, this happened for the first time, like two years ago. I was like, I don't have to go to anything. And I haven't been back to an eye doctor since. And my mom's like, no, you still need to go get your eyes.

I'm like, no, I don't. I'm fine. I'm fine. So I get it. It sucks. That's the part that sucks about adulthood in general is that. it feels like you have to frequently do stuff more often. Yeah.

I'm glad I don't have to go to the orthodontist anymore just because it was all teenagers. And I was the only adult there. But you still have to go to Dennis. Yeah, like whenever I finish and got the braces off, they usually give you a bag of candy and it's like, I'm like, I'm good. I appreciate it. You didn't say yesterday just for the heck of it? I'm like, I'm good.

You like cartoons and stuff, though. Yeah, but it felt too. like I'm aged out of this one. That's funny. Well, I'm very happy for you. They look awesome and I hope the rest of it is smooth sailing. And you get to finally check that box

is no longer, all of it. Yeah, so close. So close. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies

in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant. They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Alesspian and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,

Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed.

I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Vodom.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and The Big Money Players Network. It's Will Farrell. Woo-woo, whoo, who, who, who. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that, Our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes. to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught.

Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

All right. Well, aside from the teeth, you did just go on a super fun vacation with your wife. I did. Into the desert. Scottsdale, Arizona. You guys love Arizona. I love the heat. I think

Let me add this to the list of things I don't think I've ever heard anybody say But it's a different heat there And it really is Because here we have heat But it's very humid and uncomfortable There is just straight dry heat I would do 110 there

Versus 90 here That's how hot take Mike Neither one sounds great to me Honestly That's the hottest take I have literally There was only one day That we got into the car And it was like maybe 115

That was the only time I was like, okay, this is a little bit too hot. Well, yeah, you guys also went in the dead heat of summer too. But the reason we love it is because you go in the dead heat of summer and nobody is there. At the resort we stay at, there's hardly anybody there. When we go out to eat, when we go to places, it's just like going in. It's kind of a ghost town. And it's so relaxing to us. To be in the heat, but nobody's there.

Yes. Okay. Because it feels, because most places you go in the summer, it's super packed. You go to the beach and that's where everybody goes. So we like go into the places that nobody's going to go. And there's just something about being in the desert. And on the last night we were there, there was a rainstorm. Like we could see like the thunder clouds rolling in and then it got cool there.

So then we had the best of both worlds. That was also probably pretty cool to see you. It was really cool. So what all did you guys spend your time doing? I usually take the first day to completely disconnect from everything. So I think for me that has been the biggest. thing about having a wife now who make sure that I am able to disconnect.

So literally the hardest part for me is getting there and being like, I'm not going to think about work. I'm not going to think about work and totally like allowing myself to do it. So what we kind of do is we front load the vacation with things to do. That way, whenever we get to later in the week, we don't have as many things and we're just kind of hanging out by the pool, I'm already in relax mode. Because whenever we do things, I'm like able to focus on it.

Like the first day we were, the first full day we were there, we went to a Diamondbacks game and then had the whole day planning to like going there, going to eat, coming back and hanging out. So that way I'm able to ease it into an event. That's all I think about. My favorite thing in the world is to have beers at a baseball game. So that's kind of how I started. And that puts your brain into like the switch mode of, hey, we're going into relaxation. I'm going to need you to chill out. Exactly.

And as you guys have been to a Diamondbacks game before. Yeah, we went last summer as well. Okay, so is this, how many times have you been to Arizona now? This is, this was the third time. We went for our honeymoon in 21, and then we went again last year and this year is the third year. Okay, and it's the same place that you keep staying, the same place you save for honeymoon? We love everything about it. To me, it starts to feel like whenever I was a kid and we'd go to Mexico every single summer and Christmas,

where you just feel like that familiarity of like, oh, this is vacation time. We're going to the place we know that we always go to or shopping at the same places, one of the same hotel. It just kind of has this comfort to it. And I think also the fact that it's really hot and there's just aspects of Arizona that remind me in Mexico, it kind of feels like doing a trip from my childhood.

So is the familiarity better for you than you wanting to do something that you've never done before? I think so in this case because we've, the other places we've tried recently where we've gone to different places sometimes have been hit or miss.

And I think we like having one place to go that we know we're going to enjoy because after the two times they were like, yeah, we didn't really like those places, it kind of felt like wasting the vacation a little bit. Even though we were trying new things, we're like, we get to a point when we have our first vacation,

we just need that hit. We need that time to be good and do things that we know we're going to enjoy. So I think both of us are also creatures of habit at this point. So we like to take other trips throughout the year that are maybe quicker and not as long. But we just kind of have to have that one that is like the longest and just we kind of know that we're going to love everything about it and just have that kind of foundation for us.

Okay, this is so interesting because I know everybody is so different in this thing. And as a kid, I grew up doing a lot of the same things. You mentioned you guys would go to Mexico and that's how you'd spend like summers and your Christmases. You know a thing that you would always do. And we did similar things. Like my family always loved to go on cruises. That's where cruising came from.

Like, I know a cruise. I know my way around a cruise ship. That was how we spent spring break. That was where we'd go. And when I got older, my first time ever in Nashville, my first year of living here, my parents were like, hey, does anybody want to do like a family vacation or anything? And I was like, yeah, but I'm not going to keep going down to Florida. I'm done.

I'm tapping out. Like, I love you guys and I want to see, but if we can go explore some new places, this is what I'd like to do. And if not, totally cool. But we did. was like the start of Adventure Morgan where because I had started doing so many weekend trips to everywhere kind of around Tennessee and I felt like I was missing out on things that I because I kept going back to freaking Florida love Florida. I think it's beautiful. The beaches are amazing. But we

kept going back to Florida or we'd go on a cruise and I'm like I just don't feel like I'm seeing everything that is out there and I had this like switch that flipped where it was like okay Morgan if you're going to take vacation time you got to go somewhere new. You can't repeat. until you've been to like my whole thing now is I can't repeat a state unless it's a requirement like a bachelorette party or a wedding I don't really have a say in that right but if it's my choice and it's my vacation I'm I don't allow myself to repeat going somewhere until I've completed all of the states that's like my thing now I could see that and that's the goal but then you have other people who like nope familiarity is like what wins out see I think for me is like I

traveled so much with this job and will continue to travel with it that I have seen so much. And I feel like, this is it going to be weird, but I feel like everything's kind of the same. Okay, another hot take. As much as I've traveled, every city is kind of the same at its core in America. In America. Now, the only things I find, like, you find drastically different is like going to the desert, is like going to the Pacific Northwest. Like, if you're not changing regions, everything's kind of the same. Like, every place has a Walmart. Every place has the same restaurants. We all kind of do the same things in every city.

That's what I've figured out from touring. And I think that's not a bad thing. It's like it's an American thing. Like we're all kind of doing the same things with slightly different weather at different cities. Structured a little differently. No, and it's funny that you say that because my boyfriend and I were talking about this when we were on our road trip. And I was like, cities don't really grab my attention. I love to see the really big ones.

Like I finally got to go see Chicago, which I'd never been. And I think that's what I'm talking about more like big cities that people go to on vacation. They're all kind of the same. Yeah. And like I was like, this is really cool, but like, cool, I've seen it now. I don't need to come back, one. But two, if that's going to be part of my trip, I have to go somewhere else that's very like landscape. It's about what's outside in nature because that's how I feel like I actually see a state versus seeing just a city.

Because the city really, it's just what makes them different city-wise to like Nashville. Chicago had different food of different things. And they like, it's very beachy vibes, even though it's like a city. So there's differences, but how I feel like the best way to actually see a state is the national parks, the state parks, the anywhere that you can get to that's like you're outside and seeing what they actually have to offer. Exactly. You got to go outside of the big cities to like take in what makes that state a state, which every state like that does have unique things. But if I'm going to, yeah, you just have to go to drastically different places that really find drastically different things. Well, and to your point when you were touring, you were going to all the cities. You're not going to go to North Shore, Minnesota.

That's right on the Canadian border, because there's not a venue there for you to go to. Exactly. You're going to go to probably Minneapolis, Minnesota. And I think that's the one thing I feel like I have missed out on is going to, like, remote parts of the world, not world, but of the country where it's like mountains and like rivers and stuff like that. And the hard part with that for us is like, I think we also like need a city. to be close to you, just the way our lifestyle is. Okay. Like, our dietary restrictions, it's hard to go into play.

Like, when we went to Tahoe, that's a smaller, like, community. It's hard to find places to eat. So just stuff like that is, like, stuff I consider. That's why I say, like, you kind of go to places where everything is the same, where it's like, I need to go where I can find the grocery store or I can find restaurants that I know we can go to. You're not wrong, though. I mean, that's also coming from, I'm a vegetarian.

And there's sometimes we go in these very small. cities, I'm like, I'm going to be eating cheese pizza tonight. And that's something I learned from touring too. Like when we go to places that it's like a barbecue restaurant, like, all right, I'm getting a salad with nothing on it. Yeah. So I do get that and that makes it more difficult. So I, but I find it so interesting because I do notice you just have kind of one, like either type of person, you kind of do similar things or you stay in a consistent rotation or you have another person who's just like, you never know where they're going to pop up in the next place. I guess the thing I found about cities and the way people feel about them.

Again, I'm not dogging on anybody's specific city, and I think what truly makes each place unique is the people there. Like, I think that's the best part to go to a city is, like, to take in the people who are there. But I think we also kind of complain about the same things that we feel are unique to our cities. Like, every place has bad traffic. Everybody thinks they have the worst drivers. And I also find that everybody thinks their weather is unpredictable. Like, it's like, oh, you're here.

It's sunny one day. then it's storming the next, and then it's hot one day, then it's cold. I think everybody feels that way about their cities. Yeah. It's true when you think about it, like genuinely. And it's not, I think in the last few years in the traveling that I have done in the different states, because after this year, I think I'll be down to eight states left to hit. And I always love getting to see the big cities.

One, because I love to try the food. I do think there's unique food in every city. everybody has their thing that they like believe is the best there ever was Chicago deep dish pizza you go to Kansas City it's barbecue you got Nashville taught chicken right you have all these different places not that I'm eating a lot of that but they still have like even desserts and different things that they believe in so food is a huge thing with me in big cities but I think the thing that I've noticed the most about like the different cities too to your point of them all being the same every person's like well why'd you stay there

There's crime everywhere and there's all kinds of people living with homelessness. You can't stay there. I'm like, you realize that is every city. Like every major city has that. It exists everywhere. It's just what you think is worse because you've heard five stories. Like when I went to Portland, Oregon, everybody, everybody in my DMs was like, you need to be safe. Be so, like, you should be afraid.

You should be concerned. I'm walking in Nashville, Tennessee. Yeah, I went to Portland last year too. It's same. It's the same. There's water here. The weather's a little cooler. Yeah, and they have more cool landscape right in the city and right around there.

But that was it. So to your point, I get it. And that is the cool thing, though, about seeing different. I think also just putting the stories to the cities, hearing people talk about them. And then you go and you're like, oh, now I know what you're talking about. And I've seen that place. That's cool, too. And I will say we are still on our journey of going to every MLB park in the United States.

So we're down four. I think we're going to do two our next vacation and go to a Yankees game and a Mets game. Oh, nice. Go to both different stadiums, so we'll knock out another two. So I think I like that part of like going to a city and seeing the different mallparks. Yeah.

I think you have to have, you find your thing that you want to go, if you're going to do a state, like if you want to accomplish all 50 states, which, by the way, I think everybody should. I think it's cool to see what everything has to offer. But like my thing is national parks. I love going to national parks and I'm the crazy hiking lady. Mike D. is going to all the baseball stadiums, which is in most states.

I think if you find your thing, there's like you can do all the, there's like a road trip where you can do all the random things. Like I've seen so many, I don't know, we have the biggest fork. We have the giant ax man. I'm like, okay, cool. Good for you guys. I forgot what I saw in North Dakota, but we drove from Fargo and it's like the world's biggest. I got to look it up. But I saw it.

I was like, it was pretty big. Okay. I do like things like that. There is one in like really, really northeast Kansas when we were headed up to South Dakota. It's the biggest ball of twine. Oh, yeah. I've heard of that. So we did stop there.

So there's like that. If that's your thing, like cool oddities, that could be your thing to go to different places. Oh, yeah. It was the world's largest buffalo monument. Dakota Thunder. That's what I saw. You can find those in every state. And it was miles of nothing.

then huge buffalo and then yeah so maybe that's your thing so if you're like looking like how do i do this you got to find your thing that makes you and i added to mine and i try and eat donuts in every place that i go to i've tried to have one donut in every state my thing is a half marathon in every state that's your yeah you were talking about i'm close i'm not close but i mean i'm every new state i've gone to i have done that how many do you know how many you have left i'm probably at like nah i'm probably not even halfway through okay But that was like a newer thing that you started doing, right? That was like in the last few years that I started doing that.

Oh, yeah, you got plenty of time. You'll travel some more. Okay, we're going to take one more quick break. We'll be right back. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in someone's, correct?

I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Alesspian and Michael Marangini. My mind was blown.

I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he did. serves. Listen to the girlfriends.

I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, And dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot.

He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

with John Hope Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people? to the people when they're no longer here. We break down budgeting, financial discipline,

and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,

Speaking of food, and I do want to throw this out because Portland Oregon shout out, you have the best donut so far, and it was amazing. But I did just try a new place in Nashville called Jambox.

It was a little sandwich shop. It was really good. Maybe I'm like dumb that I never. did this, but they put Doritos on my sandwich, and it was amazing. I've done that since I was a kid. Is that really? Is that a thing? Well, I didn't like sandwiches as a kid, and I would go to my cousin's house, and all they would eat was sandwiches. I didn't like cold things, like in lunch stuff.

Okay, so you all... I don't like cold meats. I don't like cold cheese, so I don't like sandwiches. I don't like cold lettuce. If I'm eating any of that, I needed to heat it up somehow. You like a melted sandwich or like a hot sandwich. Like I like vegetables, but I won't eat a vegetable plate that's just cold. That's interesting. Because that's honestly how most vegetable plates are served as cold. I won't eat it.

Even though I'm vegan, I don't like cold vegetables. I don't like cold things that are supposed to be hot. I won't eat cold things for lunch. Okay. So even if it's like a wrap, I will probably throw it in the microwave or throw in the air prior. Why is that? Do you know? I don't know.

But maybe it roots back from I didn't like eating sandwiches growing up. So when I'd go to my cousin's house and they'd only eat sandwiches, I'm like, I'm not going to eat that. So I would take Doritos, crunch them up into two pieces of bread, and that would be my sandwich. So I would just eat chips. Because it wasn't necessarily cold and it wasn't necessarily warm. It was just chips and bread, and I'd eat chip sandwiches.

That's funny. I've never liked sandwiches, even when I was eating meat. That's another hot take. You've had three hot takes on here. I think most people love sandwiches. No, I do not. Hamburgers, yes, because it's hot. Burger.

It's hot. Cheese is melted, even though if there's veggies in there, it's all hot. I won't do a cold sandwich. Oh, it was the worst whenever in elementary school where it would be like cold cut sandwich day. And I didn't bring a lunch of my own. Like I'd just be hungry the entire day because I would not eat a cold sandwich. So even in dire situations, you refuse. Because there were days that it'd be cold cut sandwich day and I would just not eat that day if I didn't take a lunch.

I am like shocked right now that you don't like sandwiches. Even with lunchables, I would heat them up in the microwave at school. I would be the only kid heating up my lunchables at school. Because I don't like cold cheese. Or I would give my cheese to somebody else and just eat the crackers. Would the cheese melt when you put it in there? Yeah, it would melt. You'd have to put it in a while.

Would you put it on the pizza and then heat up your pizzas? I would like make, I would do the pizzas. Pizas are the best because that would actually melt. And then in dire situations, if I only, actually, I probably never melted the actual cheese. and ham I would just eat the crackers and then like barter and give the cheese and ham to somebody else to get something else. What about the nachos? You can eat up the nachos. Yeah, you can eat the you can melt the cheese. That's funny. Do you still have this like a, but you have cold drinks. So you don't mind cold other things. It's just sandwich and like. With cold drinks, I don't like ice. Like I won't. The drink itself has to be cold. I won't do ice in a drink unless it's, unless I have a straw. Are you more a room temp guy? Yeah. Just in general. Room temp water. I don't like cold water.

Oh, dang, I don't really like cold water. No, I think about it. Yeah. I mean, that's what I'm saying. I was remembering you say that, but right now you have one of those that keeps them cold. But it's not, at this point, this thing is not cold anymore. So you, like, wait for it to, like, calm down a little bit. It's pretty much room temp at this point.

This is funny, Mike. You're a room temp guy. Yeah, it drives my wife crazy because she says it doesn't make any sense that I don't like cold. Like, she'll try to offer me things sometimes and, like, I don't like it. I don't like the cold. things. Have you tried it or are you just completely taking it off of the plate essentially? No. And there's sometimes, like recently she's tried to get me to be more adventurous about things. And it's not that I'm not open to trying new things. It's just sometimes you know what you like and you know what you don't like that I'm just not going to like it.

Like one time I made the mistake, I didn't, I was at a restaurant and the only vegan thing was like something that I couldn't really pronounce. and then I ordered it, and I found that it was cold soup, and I'm like, oh, I can't eat. Like, that's like my worst nightmare. Like, why would you make cold soup? Did you ever eat cereal? Yeah. But that didn't, that's fine.

No, because the crunchiness of the cereal. Takes away the cold of the milk. But it's different for breakfast. Breakfast is different. I'm talking like, it's, I feel like it's specifically lunch for me, like cold things for lunch. Or even, like, cold appetizers, anything in that vein. Breakfast is, I feel, it's totally different.

You lost me when he said it went different because we went on a completely different side. Listen, I respect it. You like what you like and you can enjoy whatever you like, but that is funny. That is a funny quirk, Mike. Does your dad or mom do it? No, I don't think so. No, because my dad will eat straight up just sandwiches like he is the king of sandwiches like cold baloney. My brother is big on sand.

Like we're a big sandwich family. except for me. My mom loves cold things, but normally I get things like that from my mom. Yeah. Like there are a lot of like flavors that only her and I like. But when it comes to cold things, I think it's only me. I don't know what it is. I feel like something happened to you as a kid and you don't remember it. And you've blocked it out. I really think it all roots back to the sandwiches. Like not liking, because I literally, these were the things I stressed out about as a kid,

like going to people's houses and worried about what I was. was going to eat that they were only going to have sandwiches because if you think back of like your childhood that's what you ate all the time it was always sandwiches and it's true we were everybody was big sandwich i had so many pb and jays at lunch it was like my whole jam was pb and jay or a cheese sandwich cheese and bread which is cold that's why i i would always toast everything even pb and jays like whenever i got to the point where i was like staying at the house by myself and like kind of taking care of myself and cooking for myself, I just throw everything in the toaster in the microwave.

So you started eating a lot more. You're like, this is cool. I can eat food. Have you ever heard of snow cream? Because I was talking with my boyfriend about this, and this is a big thing in Kansas. Whenever it snows, we would take snow from outside and take it inside and make ice cream out of snow.

No, never heard of that. You've also never had snow cream. I'm really curious if I, like, I think Lunchbox is the only other one that's potentially heard of it, because I know he mentioned something when we had snow, but the fact that there's now two of you guys who never had snow cream blows my mind. This was like a regular activity when we would have snow.

So it snows, you take it in and then do you mix it with other stuff? Yeah, you'd put vanilla in it. I think you'd also add like some whipping cream. Is it like a snow cone? No, it tastes like ice cream. That's why it's called snow cream. But it's ice. But it has like kind of a more texture of a snow cone,

but it's creamier than a snow cone. and I don't know how to describe it anyway. I don't find how that would be creamy. You blend it all together because whipping cream, like heavy whipping cream when you whip it. So this is how I make homemade whipped cream. You literally take heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla, and you just keep whipping it. Like with a mixer and it'll get super fluffy. That's how you make homemade whipping cream.

Never knew that. Yeah. But if you pour heavy whipping cream out, it's just liquid. But you have to actually whip it and that's what. turns it into there. It makes sense whipped cream. I know. But so you use that and you put it all kind of like in a blender, you mix it.

I think my mom used a mixer on them. But you mix it all together and it makes an ice cream. And it's bomb ice cream. And this is fresh snow, mind you. You're not getting grass. I would think of all the things in it, dirt. Nobody had walked on it. Like there was no footsteps in it.

There's no yellow snow. It was like a fresh coat of snow and you'd go out and you'd like scoop some cups up and you'd make snow cream. Okay, okay, let me throw another one on you. Pumpkin seeds. Would you put pumpkin seeds in the oven? I've heard of it, but I've never done it. Okay. I've never eaten them.

Okay. Those were like our two things that we would do that were maybe a little unconventional, as we'd take the pumpkin seeds out of after carving, and we'd put them in the oven and we'd eat pumpkin seeds. Only pumpkin or sunflower seeds, too. Oh, I love sunflower seeds. But those came in a bag. Like, pumpkin seeds were pretty rare to come in a bag at that point.

Like, you only got them from getting them out of the pumpkin. So we would, like, bake them in the oven. What was your unconventional things that maybe other people didn't do? Peanuts in the Coke. Yeah, that's pretty rare. I think Amy does it too. That might be a Texas thing. I think it's a Texas thing, Mexican thing too.

Okay, so you put peanuts just in a Coke and you like shake it? You just drink it like that. I mean, they mostly all go to the bottom and then it gives it a good flavor. And then you eat the peanuts? I eat the peanuts. The whole thing? Or just inside the shell? It's usually like the bag of peanuts that you get from like the gas.

station that are just the peanuts so they don't have anything on them. Okay, so it's not, I was thinking of full show. It's basically you get, you can do it all at a gas station, so you get the Coke, the 20 ounce, you drink a little of it, and then you pour the peanuts in, and then you chill with it. Hmm. Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that, but I would not be against trying it. I feel like it'd make a salty Pepsi. It's pretty good.

Oh, you got to do Coke, though. Oh, sorry. Coke. Unless you do Pepsi. To me. Sorry. To me, it's always been Coke for that. Okay.

Coke and Pepsi. Oh, yeah, I would try that. Okay, any others that come to mind? Weird things that I eat. I mean, I feel like a lot of Mexican food is weird because whenever I would go in the summer, my family would always kill a pig and we'd eat every part of the pig.

Yeah, that's pretty weird. Every part. Like no part of it. Except maybe the tail. I don't think anybody ate the tail. That feels weird. I'm grabbing my neck right now because I'm uncomfortable. But I get that that's a part of the thing.

And that's a lot of Mexican cuisine. It's like all different types of the pig. Oh, that's weird. Okay. I'm going to take this back to a different area. Did you ever have crunch coat from Dairy Queen? No. Oh, dang.

Once why's that either? I need to bring this back. This is my thing is trying to figure out. I think it's the coolest thing that if you want to talk about how we're all different, right? Most of the days are pretty similar. You think about people and their experiences growing up. And like TikTok makes it seem like I've never had a unique experience in my life. Yeah.

A lot of cases, that's true. But there are situations where, like, we have the weirdest, just whether it was something that our family passed down for generations or, like, a group of people in a community passed down. And I think it's so cool when you start to pinpoint all these different recipes and things that people came up with. I think that's awesome. I don't know. Maybe I'm weird. Maybe I like food too much. It is the weird what you said about, like, feeling like you've never had a unique experience.

I always thought, like, some of the stuff, like the music I listened to, like, in my teenage years that I had, like, a pretty. wide mix of things. And then the other day on TikTok, I saw somebody find their old iPod and they were like scrolling through all the artists. And I'm like, I listen to all the same bands. And it's just weird that you feel like you listen to all these different things that are really specific. And then you see somebody else like have that kind of same catalog. I was like, wow, maybe we all are the same. No, really. It's like we're all, we all experience life differently. But at the same time, we're all just a little bit the same. And that leads to the simulation probably.

So we're back to that. I've been on that a lot recently. Speaking of music, like sometimes I'll be listening to songs. And the person I'm listening to will say a word. And then in some other aspect, I'll see that word. Hmm. Like a couple examples. Like I run with a running app and it'll tell me the time every five minutes.

It'll be like, time. there are so many times where it tells me time and the person singing in the song I'm listening to says time at the exact same time. The other day I was listening to a song called Smile On by American Steel and I had no way of planning this out but I was on my running route that song comes on right at the chorus when they're saying Smile On I saw a billboard for a dentist in town that was Smile On

I'm like what are the chances of that and that happens to me so much that a lot of times on my run because I'll be running around different parts of the city Like I'll be listening to a band Like the other day I was listening to a band Called the Starting Line And as soon as their song came on I drove

I ran past a venue And they were going to play That venue in like a couple of months And that was the name I freaking saw And I'm like I think that's a sign That I should go to that show That is probably a sign But now also I need to know

Do you feel like This is the simulation Working as it's supposed to Or you're glitching? I think it's working Okay Because this I feel like this happens It's happened to me a lot recently

that even my wife has noticed, like these weird manifestation things that I've thought about and it's happened and it's spoken into existence. Really weird specific things like that that I just think about and then they happen.

I'm like, man, everything goes according to, is everything just going according to plan? And the joke I always make with her that freaks her out is like whenever I see an ambulance go by or like a fire truck, I tell her that that's some universe thing correcting the timeline.

Like I'm running, a little bit too ahead and they need to correct me and slow me down. So they send an ambulance to slow down the timeline and to correct it. Why do you have to tell me that? Now I'm going to see them and not think of anything else. I'm like, okay, well, either they're saving me or about to kill me. I don't know which. I think about that. I'm like, oh, they're fixing the timeline right now. I'm a little early. They need to make sure that everything else goes according to plan, so that's how they fix it. That's crazy, Mike. But also, I feel like this is now the time where you should start manifesting things that you really want. Yeah, I've been trying to.

Okay. I was like you're, it feels like you're, I don't know, whether it's your psyche or your subconscious mind, something is happening. And it's piecing things together. So now is the opportune time for whatever you want to happen. Maybe also buy a lottery ticket. I don't know. That's, that was my immediate thing. I was like, oh, yeah, I should probably buy a lottery ticket. Yeah. But do it. You have to do it the right thing, right? Like you have to be thinking about it. It has to happen the same way all of these others have happened because that's how it lines up. So you don't just go and buy it randomly just because this is happening. You buy it when everything is telling you or showing you. Does that make sense? Yeah, it has to be like in the moment, like a direct sign. Like all these things have to line up. Exactly.

So you can't just do it willy-nilly. Or maybe you break the manifestations cycle. I don't know. Nobody knows anything. Let's be honest. All right, Mike. Well, thanks for joining me and talking to me about food and vacation, teeth, and manifestation. Yeah, and weird timelines.

Weird timelines. Tell the people where they can find you. You can find me on social media on all things at Mike Distro and listen to my podcast, movie mics movie podcasts, wherever you listen to podcasts, new episodes every single Monday. Love that.
