Good morning, everybody, and happy Saturday. Welcome to the Best Bits post-CMA Awards and pre-Thanksgiving. That's weird.

Prime time right now, babe. A lot of things going on. I know. It's really exciting. How are you feeling, Mike? Mike, if you didn't just hear his voice, he is joining me this weekend. I'm, like, not quite ready for everything yet. It doesn't feel like holiday time to me.

You know, every time you come on here, you're like, day. the years just flying by. It's just like I feel like it just gets earlier and earlier every year. Like I used to be really big into Black Friday and now that's not really a thing anymore because Black Friday starts like a month ago. It's true. They started, I think, at the beginning of November

for some stores now. And it just feels like everything happens so early that once it's actually time for it, I'm not ready for it because it's already been happening for so long. This is true. So not ready for Thanksgiving. No. Or Christmas. No. Also, it's a vegan. Like, what am I getting?

eat. Like, there's not really, I don't really look forward to turkey, all the food. This is true. So there's not a lot on that front for me to look forward to. You're not going home for Thanksgiving, so. Okay, well, let's get into it. I mean, we're, like, we kind of already are a little bit. Those are a little intro, but if you do want to check out the part two, where there's, like, all the bits and catching up on the Bobby Bone Show, lots of CMA content. There's a hoodie controversy, if you will. There's some flirty things that happened in some of the interviews, lunchbox did our acceptance speech, just a lot of good stuff over there.

But let's talk about life right now. So you're not going home for the holidays. Now, Thanksgiving is hard because it's a quick turnaround and everybody's going home. So travel is just insane. We've done it before. And also, it's hard to split time between two families. Yeah, and such a short amount of time. The one time we did go home and we did both like a combo Thanksgiving where my family and my wife's family came together. That was fun. But that's hard to do. It's also you're gambling a little bit, banking on the fact that both families were to get along, which was nice that time because everybody did get along. But it just seems like more times you do that, you run into the possible risk of people not getting along.

So that was why it was maybe a one and done type scenario. Yeah, everything went well. We're good. That was fun. But it's just a lot to go back for Thanksgiving and then go back home again for Christmas. Yeah. And maybe it's something that you guys can do every couple years versus, you know, every single year. Yeah.

Because last year we were like, we're not going to do that again. And we went to New York and went to the parade. Fun. I do remember this. And I remember thinking, like, we just wanted to do something while we're still just us, too, don't have kids. And we want to go do something fun for ourselves. So we did that. And that was awesome.

Are you guys going to go on a trip this year? No, we're staying here. Because this is the first time we're staying here since, like, 2020, I think. Yeah. Because the Christmas, I mean, the Thanksgiving before we went with both of our families. we were in Costa Rica. So it was like, we just want a normal Thanksgiving at home where we kind of try our own traditions. Okay.

All right. Anything you think you're going to try this year for a new tradition? We are actually like ordering a bunch of sides that are already made and then we're just focusing on like our main thing. And I think we'll probably just make what we each want to eat. Okay. A vegan Thanksgiving. Yeah.

And gluten free because isn't your wife also? She's gluten free. So it's hard for us to find those foods because it's so specific. And you think of Thanksgiving food. It's all either meat or glutinous. That's true. Gluteness. All the breads and everything.

That's so true. Okay, well, what else is going on besides the holidays, and that's coming around the corner? I am with you. My family is about to come into town this weekend when everybody's hearing this, and they'll be here for a week, which I'm really excited about. They always come to me for Thanksgiving because I can't ever get back into town, and then I'm by myself. Do you like having everybody in the house, or is it overwhelming to you? Oh, I love it. I love hosting people.

Like I the thing that's overwhelming about it to me is that I love my house being clean and there's like chaos in my house for a week But I always just remind myself like it's once a year and it's so much fun having them all in town For you when you have your parents back in town do you revert back to being a kid? Because sometimes when I have like even my older brother and sister back in town It's almost like they Forget that I'm an adult now and they still treat me the same way they treated me When I was like a kid to where it feels like, hey, we're going to do this. And they're saying that, like, they're the authority.

I'm like in my house now. Like, I'm going to do what I want. And this is kind of how I go. Is that kind of how it is with your family? Like your parents go back to me like, all right, we're going to do this? And you're like, no, you're in my house. You know, they do, at least in the sense of like, I always have a list for my dad. And I'm like, can you help me with these things?

Because I need some help. That's fair. That's also fun to do, though. Yeah, he loves it. He's like, make sure you have your list ready for me so I can get things done. But that's where I like kind of revert as a kid. Otherwise, they look to me, they're like, tell us all the new stuff we got to go do. So when it comes to doing things, you're still the one because they're here.

You're like, okay, we're going to go do this. Okay. Yeah, and because they know I'm out doing stuff all the time and trying it. They don't know what's here and what's good that I've tried versus like, oh, this isn't worth the time. So they do at least allow me in that capacity. But for sure, like, the dynamic goes back to me being the youngest and I'm just like there and hanging out kind of thing. I get what you're talking about. So I am excited for that

And they're bringing My parents are bringing their three dogs One of them being the dog that I had found And they adopted That's cool Yeah and I'm really excited to see her I'm hoping she remembers me Because I dropped her off with them

In July when I went back for my sister's wedding So it's been a couple months now And either she's gonna want nothing to do with me Or she's gonna freak out And I cannot wait to see it So that'll be really exciting But yeah Think you feel it more when you go home though

And you're under their roof and doing things, like, even like going out to run errands, like, I want to go drive myself, or do you have to always go with them and be the passenger? A little bit, yeah, definitely more when I'm at their house. That feels weird to me. Like, even now as I don't, when I go back, we have to rent a car because I can't be at the mercy of, like, my parents or my wife's parents. I'm like, no, I need to be able to get around and do what I need to do and do what I want

to do. Yeah, like, okay, can you take me here? Can I go here? Is this allowed? It is. It's funny because you're also, like, living there for, Because we go back and we get to spend some time for Christmas. And it's like I have to adjust and like try and put my routines back into like my old life in a way.

You know what I mean? Like where I want to do all these things. But like I'm in my parents' house again. And I don't, I feel like I'm five years old. You're like checking in like, oh, I'll be back at 9.30. Like, why do I have to tell you what time I'm going to be back home? Yeah. It's like more the existence of like, oh, dang, somebody's actually here and like wants to know what I'm doing versus me just going and be like, oh, you don't need to know.

it's fine. Like I remember last year when I went home for Christmas, I went on a date. I was like, this is going to be weird. This is going to be weird. And it did because it was literally like I was about to leave. And I had told them prior to us like, okay, I think I'm going to go on a date. And then they had all these questions. I was like, no, no, no. That's the other sorts. I'm just going. Like, it's a first day. We're just seeing what's happening. So there was, it's more involvement in your life when you go back home, I feel like. And as an adult, you're kind of like, oh, that feels weird. I don't feel like the involvement needs to be there.

Yeah. Oh, what other updates are going on besides the holidays? Oh, I need to know about Run Club. Did you go to Run Club? Did you make a friend? We need an update. I tried to go to Run Club, and I did not make it to Run Club. Mike, this is like what?

In the time frame since you've been here a month and a half. And now all the run clubs are kind of shutting down because it's getting colder. Mike. I have tried to make a friend on the trail. Because the weird thing is, like, I start to notice other people who run as much as I do. Because around, like, the routes I run, I start to just notice the same people I've been seeing for a while now. And there's just one guy who I always run into. And I know he's a long distance runner too because I'll see him like 30 to 45 minutes apart going on the trail.

And I always, like, try to wave and say hi to him. And he never says hi to me back. And the thing is, like, I just want to compliment him because I've noticed the more and more times I've seen him. He's, like, gotten fitter and, like, healthier looking. And I can see, like, the work he's putting into it. And I'm like, man, can I just make like a casual friend, like just out in the wild like that? It's so hard to do. I mean, you totally can, but you're going to have to be maybe a little bit more aggressive about it than just this slight wave.

Yeah, it is just hard to do. Like, you're not going to stop somebody. But I just feel like there's like this weird bond that you have with somebody else you see doing the same thing as you over and over again. And you're like encounter each other, but you never really say anything to them. It feels like there's almost like a misconnection there. There is. You currently have a misconnection happening in your life. Maybe you have to go, because you're so used to seeing him, a little bit earlier,

to see if maybe you guys hit the trail at the same time. Then I started like following them home. No, no, no. Not doing that. Hey, man, I've been seeing you out running. Oh, the weird thing that did happen to me running the other day is somebody was concerned for me and they told me like, hey, I've been, like, they literally yelled at me from the street saying, hey, I've been seeing you run and I think you run too much.

Seriously? And I just found it weird that there's been a person. watching me. And it wasn't even what he said of like... It was a dude. It was a guy, like an older guy in like a minivan. And he's like yelled at me. And I had my headphones on, but I'm always aware of my surroundings because I want to

know, like hear cars, hear people yelling at me. And they like yelled at me, like flag me down to stop and said he'd been watching me. And he's like, I think you run too much. And he said, I should look into the effects of like overrunning. And I don't buy into the thing of like people telling me what to do. But it was just so weird that somebody had been watching, like, my route and knowing how much I run? And then I worry, like, how, like, how long has he been watching me? And does he watch me go all the way home?

Does he watch me go to my car? Like, it just felt really weird and, like, violating. Yeah. But it's like, I'm out in public. You can see people, but it just felt so weird. Do you run kind of, I'm assuming there's houses that you run by at different points? I mean, I change my route up all the time. So it's never the same spot because I don't want to get.

board but now I have to think about like are people watching me this entire dive? Is it possible that like he lives near one of the particular trails where like it's a spot you always kind of hit even though if you take different routes? Yeah, it's close to yeah, I would say the part he saw me at is usually the basis of where I start or at least go through at some point. But it's really weird for him to see me repeatedly because I run it all different times. Sometimes it's early on the weekends. Sometimes it's later because of work.

It's just really weird. It's also weird that he just felt this is a stranger. Like it's weird that he felt so inclined to stop what he was doing and stop you from what you were doing and say, hey, this is how I think you should stop doing something. You know what I mean? Yeah, and you have no idea about anything about me. Yeah. Like what? The audacity, honestly.

Oh, my gosh. Gosh, Mike, I'm sorry that happened. That's scary. It's weird. And it's somebody who, like, just struggle. I've struggled with, like, working out and, like, thinking, am I doing too much? Am I doing too little? Yeah.

And it's just, like, to have this other layer of, like, am I really? Like, I don't know. It just felt really weird. No, I mean, because, Mike, at the end of the day, you know you and your body better than anybody else, right? And sure, some people overindulge and less indulge, whatever. There's always going to be this balance, especially when you're trying to understand what you want to do. but you feel good.

You don't feel like if you're overdoing something, your body will tell you that, right? You will feel that in your bones. Your body loves to tell you what's going on. So unless you feel that way, you're not doing anything wrong. You know what I mean? And I know that's hard because somebody, literally,

when somebody out of the blue comes at you and says, this is, observes you so much to the point of saying, this is what you're doing wrong, which is an entirely wrong thing in my mind. but does that, I can see where it would plant the seed in your brain to then justify the things that you've already felt. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly.

But you, but you're not. Mike, you're healthy, you're doing great things for your body. You're moving the way that you should be. And maybe this guy is jealous because he can't run. You know what I mean? Like maybe he's jealous because he can't go running and he doesn't like running long distances and he wants you to live the life. if there's something I have learned about people who criticize openly and without the full history or knowledge of something,

is that they want you to live your life the way they live theirs. So all he was doing was projecting what he thinks and what he wants other people to live like based on his own life. So he's driving a minivan, you know? Do you want to be driving a minivan instead of running on a Saturday morning enjoying your life? Yeah, it just took me a while in a shake. that like I literally thought about it for like two to three weeks. I just would come back to those comments of like just questioning everything for a while. Yeah. And I'm really sorry. That's not fair. It shouldn't have happened. You know what I mean? Like at the end of the day, it just shouldn't

have happened. And nobody should feel so obligated to tell a stranger such an unsolicited, unwarranted opinion. You're going to make me go on a tangent. People make me so mad sometimes. Of the unsolicited advice and opinion. Yeah, like that's so, and it was so unwarranted in so many ways. And also creepy that he's been watching you. Yeah, I think the- Maybe he's obsessed with you. The creepy factor is more what I was concerned with of just somebody,

the idea of somebody watching me, because I think when you're out in public, as much as we think that everything we do, people are paying attention to, it's all inside our minds. But that was just the one moment I had of like, oh, there are actually people like paying attention to things. And then I also have this whole other theory of like NPCs and like, am I living in some weird, simulation. Like I know Bobby goes on that tangent, but there are just some people I see so repeatedly and I have no interactions with them. It just feels weird to me. Like people at the gym, people out in public at the grocery store. I see them repeatedly. I'm like, is there like just a limited

amount of people that I encounter? Or is it just a coincidence that I'm also at the same places at the same time as these people in all these weird situations? No, I think that's an interesting perspective too, right? Because you'll run into other people for the first time ever and you're like, we have the same circles. We've had all these same scenarios. How have we never met each other? And then you're like, I see this other person 50 times a week. Yeah. Why? And I'll even like change up my routines and I'll encounter the same people. And I'm like, how, how am I still running into you if I'm not doing this thing at the normal time that I'm doing it at? But then I like look back on it like, well, I'm also here at a different time. So maybe they're thinking the same thing about me.

It's possible. You guys are both the NBC's to each other. Are they just NPCs in our life? Just all the time. I think that's possible. I mean, I'm never going to say nothing is not an option. But I also think people who are super self-aware is very uncommon, right? To be aware of your surroundings so much other.

I'm like hyper-aware of the surroundings. And a lot of people aren't. You know, like I see and experience everything that happens to me. And there's a lot of people that don't. They'll be like, this, like, All the crazy things that happened to me, right? I have weird stories to share all the time. And I think so much of it is related to that I'm just paying attention a lot.

Like I'm so much like you, hyper aware of what's happening around me, anytime I go out in public spaces. So I can't not notice things. And I think there's a lot of people that just go out, exist, and do, and they're in their bubble. And there's nothing wrong with that. But when you're in your bubble, you're not seeing everything that's happening around you. I wish I had just like a level of that inside of me. of like not being able to care about my surroundings. Even like sometimes in public where you encounter people who aren't really trying to be rude,

but they're just like not, there's just nothing going on to where they're aware of people around them or their surroundings or even that they're doing anything wrong. I was like, I wish I just had an ounce of that in me because I'm out in public thinking like, I don't want to inconvenience this person. I'm taking too long to do this. I'm holding everybody up in this line. And there are people who are just like,

la-di-da-da-da. Cool. And I'm like, I just wish I had that inside of me. I know. But it also makes you a better person that you don't, Mike. You know, you are self-aware and you are considerate of other people around you. And I think when you are in that bubble, you're in a situation of lack of consideration for a lot of other people around you. So it makes you a good person.

Okay. So keeping a good person. I'm sorry you got creeped out. And hopefully this guy leaves you alone. Yeah. Also creepy that he was in a minivan and this happened. Because those are the kind of, those are the vans that they take you away in, you know? So please be careful.

Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. 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. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer Zoe Spencer and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%.

They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant, I

Let's 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. I'm Daniel Jeremiah. And I'm Greg Rosenthal. And this is 40s and free agents. The games may be over, but the NFL never stopped.

This is my favorite part of the calendar. Yeah, mine too, Greg, free agency, the combine, the NFL draft, Pro Days, trades. This is where teams reshape their future. This is where Daniel Jeremiah makes his money. On 40s and free agents, we break down every move that actually matters. From my draft evaluations, mock drafts, and team fits, to my top 101 free agents and how real rosters are. built cap space, contracts, and all the tough decisions included.

You got quarterbacks on the move. We got teams rebuilding. It's hope season. Yeah, absolutely. It's hope season. We'll tell you what's real, what's noise, and what it means for your favorite team. Smart analysis, real conversations every week. I don't know about the smart, but definitely analysis.

Listen to 40s and free agents on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. All right, Mike, let's talk CMA Awards. We both went to the show. experiences, stories behind the scenes. That's what the people want to hear is what I kept being told when I put in the question. So give me your story of CMA Night and any other things that happened that week. I will have to say going into it, I also had a struggle with what I was going to wear. And I wanted to wear something that had a little bit of me in it because it is a very formal event where suit and tie is kind of the norm.

and I wanted just to wear something that showed like my personality and I tried to and the more and more I tried out different things I'm like, this just isn't working, it's not going to fit because it is such a formal event where unless you're like a nominated artist at the award show,

if you wear something a little out of pocket, it's going to look a little weird. So I tried out probably four to five different things going into it and I was like, you know what? I'm just going back to the original suit I had and not trying anything else out because it just doesn't feel right. What were these other options that you were looking at?

I was trying, like, at first I tried like this look where it was like a leather jacket, still like a shirt and a tie underneath it and like different pants. They weren't like traditional like dress pants. More like kind of like vintage, my old like punk rock pants. Okay. And I was like, it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't look right. I tried to go more casual with like no suit and tie.

And nothing just really felt like it was CMA worthy to the point to her. Like if I wear this, it's going to feel like. like I'm just going to the mall or something. So I was like, I just got to kind of commit to it. And I went with the suit. Well, I do think you have some super nice dress pants. Like, we've talked about it a few times where you're changing up your style and doing things. If I'm thinking of the type of pant correctly, they're kind of more like linen, old school based.

Is that the vibe? Yeah, that's kind of I was going for. Like, I'm really inspired by Tyler the creator right now who is like my, as of right now, like, my fashion just icon. and if I had like the money to spend like he does, like that is how I would address. So I was kind of going, I kind of channeled that a little bit. I went shopping and tried to find some things,

but I felt like everything I found was a little bit too casual still. And it was like, this is cool, but probably not a war show cool. Well, at least you were having that conversation in your head versus, you know, lunchbox.

He just went with it. You could have just sent it, I guess, like he did. I was probably two outfits away from coming to something like similar that he decided to come with. But I think your reaction would have been differently because if we all asked you, you've been like, guys, it was really hard. Like, I kept going through outfits and it was just a whole

situation. I was like five minutes before we had to leave. I was still like switching out different things because I wasn't set on it. And it wasn't until like five minutes. I was like, I just got to put the suit on and get out of here because I was overthinking it. That's fair. Okay. So that's why you ended up meeting us there. Yeah. Okay. Because so we, we, some of us all met at the, like our whole plan was all of us to meet at the thing. But that's a, that's okay. Like, You still got it and you still looked really great that night. If I'm being completely honest, at one point I was like, I don't think I want to go. And it was like, I feel pressure to go to those things because I don't think pressure is the word.

I feel like I don't belong there. And I feel that I get overwhelmed, like, so much inside my head that I was like, I would just be better off not going. I don't think many people would miss me not being there. I even told my wife, like, I don't know if I really want to go. And she's like, you got to let me know it right now because I'm bad. get ready it's an hour and a half process let me know and then i took some time i was like okay i'm good we can go i can get my work done i just got to figure out what i'm gonna wear i'm really glad you ended up coming because we would have missed you and we would have been bummed that you weren't there like it was a

bummer that bobby wasn't feeling good and he couldn't come you know what i mean like it's a it was a whole team outing so i'm glad that you got yourself in a place where you felt good enough to come. So I'm proud of you. Like that took something, you know, to get yourself together and do that. And I've also been there. There's times where I have put on 80 million alveats and it's literally the Grinch moment where I'm like, that's it. I'm not going. You know what I mean? Because you're just like you're tired of it and getting around and like having this perspective on when you're going out and you're like, I have to look a certain way and feel a certain way to be doing this when sometimes you just have to show up in the world as you are. And that's what you did. Yeah. I think that's what

it comes down to what you said of like how you feel you need to look and I felt the way I needed to look. I wasn't going to look at a picture of me dressed that way and be happy the way I look. And I'm like, it just doesn't feel like me. Like a suit and tie is just not me. Yeah. But I realize that like having this job, having to do professional things, you just have to kind of buy into that and do that. And I just got to get more comfortable with that. So the only thing, you know, thing I kind of held on to is like I'm not going to wear fancy dress shoes. I'm going to wear my Doc Barton's. And that was like my one piece of me. Yeah, you still had it. And you'll find it. As you, you've only been kind of really changing up your style the last few years. And I feel like

it's something that takes a lot of time many years to really cultivate and understand, okay, this looks good on me. I like this. You have to find your things. And that takes time and patience that also we don't really have a lot of, you know what I mean? It's a balance of finding things that you feel good in and also look good in. Because there are certain things that my wife tells me that I look good in, but I don't feel good in. And if I don't feel comfortable in it, I think my energy is just off that I'm going to feel like, I feel very stiff, I don't feel like me, I don't want to take pictures because I don't like the way that I look.

So I think it's having to find that medium of like, I feel comfortable in this and I also look good in this. Yeah. And you will. You will find it. You know, you can't find it last minute on a random Wednesday where you have to go to an event, but you will find it. I'm proud of you for an end up going. Are you glad that you ended up going? Yeah. Once I was, like, once I was there, we got out of Uber, we got in the building, everything else just didn't matter.

And that's also kind of how I feel sometimes about deciding what, like, all these things that you build up in your head. By the time you actually get to it, it doesn't really matter. Like nobody's really looking at you and like comparing things. You're thinking about it too much. You're overthinking it. by the time you're just there and in it, it's just like you don't even think about it. No, it's true. And I would have never known that you had that whole experience until you just told me.

Like you played it off super well. At least the night, you seemed like you were happy to be there. You saw a posty. Yeah. You were having a good time. So you played it off well. And I think you ended up leaving at some point early. It was a commercial break, so I didn't know if you guys went and hung out in the back for a while or if you ended up leaving.

We were going to the bathroom and then we weren't done in time to get back. in and they were like, you know what, we saw everybody we wanted to see Post Malone, wanted to see Shibuzi, wanted to see Kelsey Ballerini, Luke Combs, and after that, we're like, you know what, I think we're good. You did miss Post Malone come out by himself. I did. I watched it on TV. I was like, ah, crap, I missed that one. Well, hard to say that, like, nobody knew it was coming that he was going to perform twice. Yeah, I didn't know that either. I was like, oh, we started at the beginning.

I was like, oh, crap, I missed one. And then we wanted to have seen George straight, but it was fine. Yeah, and that was definitely towards the later end of the evening. You know, Mike Dee, I I don't know if you could have noticed but Thursday when I came into work I was struggling How late did you stay up? Mike, I pulled an all-nighter I didn't sleep.

I didn't sleep at all? Wow. It was not good. I was not well. I was not. There was nothing happening in my brain. The lights were not on that morning. I went to, so I stayed for the whole award show

and then there was a CMA after party. Went to the CMA after party. ended up having way too much fun. And I was like, first I was like, oh, no, I'll stay for a little bit. I have stuff to do, whatever. So then I'm like, okay, I'm actually having fun. I'm getting like a little bit more drunk as the night goes on because I've had several free drinks at this point.

And we're having a good time. And then it comes like 1 a.m. I'm like, I have to go home. Like, I need sleep. You start doing that math of like it to take me 20 minutes to get home. Yes. At the time I wind down and go to sleep, I can get two hours of sleep. Literally.

And I'm having this whole process. and my friend Julia, who was with me, she looked at me, she goes, you got me out because she didn't go to the award show. She just came out and met me for the after party. And she was like, you got me out at 10 p.m. on a Wednesday and you're about to go home right now. And I said, I've been awake since 3 a.m. Like, I'm literally at the point where I'm about to pull an all-nighter without intentionally doing it. And she goes, it's one night. Like, just come out and you can go home after.

You can go have another drink. And then, you know, still get some sleep. And I was like, fine. I'll go to the bar for one. one drink. We went to the local bar that everybody goes to in the industry. So, of course, when we show up, it is a giant second after party at the bar. And I'm just having the best time ever. And the bar normally goes at 2 a.m. It did not. The bar did not even close because the bar was having a good time, I guess. And so we stayed out at the bar until, like, close to 3 a.m. And then

when I got home, I was like, well, if I go to sleep now, I'm going to get about 10 minutes and it's probably going to be worse. So I, and I forgot, I didn't cook my, I didn't cook my Thanksgiving. We had a hot luck the next day. So I cooked my Thanksgiving fog look side dish at 3 o'clock in the morning. And I got that made. I also had some friends I'd come back to the house with me. So we played Mario Kart and I just played Mario Kart and kept myself awake until it's time to come into work. So that was my CMA Awards night. That's awesome. Like I think you look back on life and that's what you're going to remember.

You're not going to remember the nights you got eight, nine hours of sleep. You remember the nights you went out and actually did something. So I envy you for that. Well, you know, you say that. And I agree with you. That will be. But I'm telling you Thursday, I was like, I regret every decision I made. I am so, like, you know when you used to sit in school class and you'd be like your head was like nodding off?

I was doing that. I was like, somebody's totally going to catch me doing this because I am not well. Like, I need it. I am a sleepy girl. I need sleep more than the average human meat. So staying up all right was rough. And then I also had forgotten tortilla chips for my dip. So then I had to go down to Whole Foods.

And, yeah, it was a whole thing. I forgot my wallet. And it's been, you know, when you, also, it's just been that week where, like, when it rains it pours, like, my dog got sick. Of course, on CMA Day. So it's just, it was this whole day where finally when Thursday, came, it was like, oh, okay, you were going to feel the repercussions of every single one of your actions right now. So it was so much fun up until about Thursday at 7 a.m. And my body was, she was done. I mean, yeah, I haven't done that probably since college. Yeah. I was,

whenever I was interning for the show back in Austin, I was also playing in a band. So we would go play shows and wouldn't be done to like 2 a.m. and I had to go in at 5 a.m. So there were 9,000. So there were nights like that where I would just stay up. I maybe sleep an hour and then just go straight to work. But I feel like now as an adult, I don't know if I have it in me to not sleep. See? Because I used to be able to do the 20, stay up for 24 hours and then I would recover like after a day. I don't know that that would happen now.

I'm telling you right now it doesn't. Your body as an adult is like, no, you need actual sleep and normal food to function. So when you spent the entire day doing nothing but drinking alcohol and eating bad foods and then proceeding not to have any sleep in your body, yeah, I'm shutting down. You're done. You have to tap out at this point. Because the thing I struggle with now is whenever concerts come to town here and they're on a weeknight or they're on a Sunday. And it's like, I could maybe do that for one night, get home late, sleep a little bit, and then be fine that day. It's that day after that's going to get me.

because you're almost like hyper alert the first day after because you know that you went out and you can't show any signs of weakness and you're like okay I'm going to power through this day it's that next day when you're exhausted it's like oh I shouldn't have done that two days ago it is and the hangover man if you drink at all like the hangover as you've gotten older will hit for like five days like I'm still dealing with the repercussions of my actions and I have slept multiple like I should have went into hibernation I went to sleep last night on a Friday night I like literally 5 p.m. I said, I'm done. I don't care what the world needs for me. What is about to happen. Whoever's going to blow up my phone. I'm going to bed. And I'm just going to sleep forever. So that was my CMA Awards. That's great. I just love that. I'm glad you're proud of me. But like I said, we'll see. You know, check in with me next week and see if it's still worth it. Because you had the complete opposite experience to me. Like I lived early. I was home. I went to sleep almost at my normal times. Yep. But, you know, the Morgan.

me right now. I was really jealous of that. The Morgan that night? No, she was having a great time. Different versions that exist. All right, we're going to take one more quick break. We'll be right back. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they shared their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job.

There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions.

You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.

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,

Listen to 40s and free agents on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Speaking of all the CMA stories and interactions, so of course that night you run into just a whole bunch of people that you've met, whatever. How do you handle a situation when somebody comes up to you? You know them. You recognize them like, yes, I know who you are.

We've had multiple interactions. But you cannot remember their name. I just don't go for the name. I don't say anybody's name. I don't say your name. Yeah, but what happens when like there's multiple of these where I keep seeing them? And I'm like, dang, I need to figure out your name somehow if I keep running into you. And I don't know how.

I guess it doesn't bother me that much because everybody's bad with names. I know people say, like, I'm bad with names. I think everybody is bad with names. But I never address anybody by their names. I've just eliminated that altogether that I don't feel bad if I don't remember people's names. Yeah, I guess that's true. Maybe that says something about me. But I don't address anybody by their name and I don't feel awkward about it.

Well, and I don't know. Oh, my gosh, so good to see you. But it makes it, I don't know. It does make me feel bad where I'm like, you, like, I had these sweet people who would come up and talk about my podcast and stuff. And I'm like, dang, you're so awesome. Why can't I remember your name? And I would get so mad because it's just you meet people in passing so often.

Yeah, that's what it is. It's hard for you to actually be able to correlate. Like, unless you've had a genuine, like, moment experience hangout, that's when I can remember somebody's name. But if I meet you multiple times in passing, I'm going to forget your name. I think it's because I experienced so much of it on the other side of, like, doing this show doing the Bobby cast where we book a lot of guests and we have artists over, I don't expect them to remember me. And I would feel weird to put them in a position of like, we've met. Like,

I just don't expect people to remember me. In turn, I also sometimes won't remember people if I met them for two minutes randomly. It's hard to do. So I don't expect it back in the same way I know how hard it is. Yeah, and maybe that's how most of us are in this industry. We're like, we know each Tell her it's fine. Don't worry about it. I do like Bobby's a trick. I stole that of the good to see you. Yeah, I do that too. Yeah, like that. As soon as he said that, I'm doing that. I'm stealing that forever because I need it. I guess to me, it's not so much I worry when I don't remember somebody's name. It's whether I have met them or not. Where I interacting with this person, something in my head is going like, have I met this person? and I can't really quite pinpoint it

and I don't want to talk to them in a way that it's me meeting them for the first time if I have had an interaction with them before because I would feel bad in that scenario like if I met somebody and I'm like saying things that like why are you saying this thing we've met before that's where it gets me a little bit

yeah and you know what that happened to me once this week where they were so like so confident we had met before like familiar with each other and I was like God I really don't think we've met before Like I was, you know when you were like filing the cabinet like What's all in here? Like let me pull out memories I think because sometimes people approach you in a way

That they it feels like they've met you before Yeah And you can't tell if they have or not Or that's just their personality That's true And this person definitely had that personality So that's why I was sitting there I was contemplating everything

I was like dang it if we've met I don't remember it Oh so yeah that was one of my situations This week So if anybody has any pro tips to either remembering names or recollecting names give them to me. I might need to go see the brain doctor though also. My brain is fried.

Yeah, I think me too. I feel like my brain just drops like packets of information sometimes and it's like a lost file where I'm like doing something and like that file is just missing and it's not connecting. Or a little corrupted where you get like a version of it. You're like, that doesn't feel accurate.

That's not loading. Maybe we all do. But I think you and I particularly, we've talked about this a lot where you and I are managing multiple different things. And I think that fries our brain. It definitely does. You know, like, because it's overstimulated.

I think even this week on the show, things have come up and I've like hopped to something and like my brain just wasn't there. And if you're listening, like the listeners will call us out. And it's not a normal conversation because it's not a normal situation. Like in that studio, it's not the same as me talking to somebody out in public. There's like like this different level that your brain is on where a simple piece of information that you could recall it any time doesn't work in there. Yeah. And you know how you can see this so plain and clearly? Easy trivia. Yeah. Like genuinely just in general,

when we are when we are doing things in that room, we're operating at a different, it's like how Bobby talks about aliens on a different frequency, right? When we're in that studio, different frequency than a normal day-to-day Morgan frequency or mic frequency. Yeah, it's like you're doing like three magic tricks at once. You're like spinning plates, writing on a unicycle, and also trying to kick a soccer ball. Yes. It's doing all those things at the same time. And you're like, why can't you kick that soccer ball?

Well, I'm also spinning these plates and doing and writing down this unicycle. That's why I can't kick the soccer ball. That's exactly why. And then people are like, why did you do it this way? Or why did you say that? I'm like, honestly, I don't know. I wish I could tell you. There's somebody that's like, I honestly don't know.

Even like when I do my podcast, I'm going back and like editing it. I'm like, why did I even say that word? That's not something I would ever say. That word makes no sense. Oh, yeah. I didn't mean to say that word and I sound so confident saying it there. I don't know why. You know another one that's always funny part like in this too is that Bobby will say,

hey, like, come up with this. It'll be something on the fly and I'm like, okay, yeah, this works. But then like three hours later, I'm like, dang, I had a really good story that really would have gone there. And now we've already done it. So I can't go back to that. It just has to be not a story that ever gets shared. Those are the worst.

I wish I could my brain was because it's so like circuit fried, it just can't recollect things in that moment. There's some days where I come in and it is on, but there's other days I come in and it is mush. And then you think about it driving home, you're like, ah, that's what it was.

See? Yeah, those are the worst. That calling back to all the previous files that are corrupted, destroyed everything. Also, I need your opinion. You like Christmas, right? You like the holidays? I don't know that I... Well, okay, hold on. I'm afraid of this.

There are people who love... You love Christmas. My wife loves Christmas. Okay. I didn't really even like it until I was with my wife and how much she loves it has rubbed off on me. That's where I was going with it. Because I want to say we talked about this last year, your experiences with Christmas and why. But also your wife has like, you know, brought you to the light side.

Yeah. I don't say dark side because Christmas is very light. Lots of lights. but I ask you this as someone who has both perspectives. I bought an inflatable highland cow that sits in my yard and has a Christmas hat. But I got told by a lot of people that is tacky. Is it tacky? People think that the inflatable things are tacky.

I think they're fun and awesome. Right. I feel like it adds a different level of joy to the front yard. It's just fun. It's like an ornament for your yard. Why wouldn't you, what makes it tacky? I don't know. But you would be surprised, Mike.

I got told multiple times. I was so excited about this cow. Not only did I, like, see it one time and be like, I kind of want that and then go back and get it. I literally was in so much joy that you would have thought, as you watched me walk through Walmart with this, that I was like a little kid that just got told I could buy my favorite toy. Isn't that a good feeling? It is. Like, now as an adult, you go in and you're like, can I get this? You're like, wait, I'm an adult.

I can't get this. There's nobody telling me I can't. Yeah, I don't have to get anybody's approval. I was checking my money. Have you had that moment recently with something where you bought it and you're kicking, screaming, giggling? Yeah. Something I haven't really shared that I've gotten into recently is figure collecting. And I think there's like a community of adults that are reverting back to a time where they couldn't buy things when they were younger.

So now as an adult, you can. So like one time I went to Target and I found like this Iron Man figure that if I was a kid, I could have never afford it. It was like $24. And I had like this moment of like, I don't know if I can afford it. And I was like, wait a minute. I'm an adult. I can buy this. And I was like, it was like this little joy that made me happy of being able to do something that I wanted to do as a kid.

Now I'm able to do it. And it just felt like, oh, that was cool. Like that was fun. Yeah. So you did get you at the little joy out of it. How many do you have now at this point you think? I put them all in like the back display in my studio. So like whenever I record my podcast, you can see them behind me.

There's probably like six behind there now at this point. And you're super specific about which ones you're getting. Like there's particular ones you want. Yeah, there's a lot of them are based on either my favorite superheroes of all time or my favorite comic books. So I'm trying to find things that are all just have been my favorite for a very long time and are meaningful to me in some way. Have you been to McKay's in Israel? Oh, I love McKay's. Okay.

I don't, do they have that, like what you're looking for there? Yeah. I found some great stuff. stuff there. Okay. That's where I recently went with my new obsession of records and vials, which I don't understand. Are they interchangeable? Do you know? Are they the same? Records finals? Yeah, records vinyl, I think it's already plural and singular at the same time. Well, because I say that because it's called, it's like called the record player, but then you're getting vinyl's, but aren't they, it, I went down a whole rabbit hole. Anyways, I was there and I was

looking for old vinyl and stuff and that place was packed but I remember seeing what you're talking about yeah it's crazy going there and seeing how a live physical media still is which is something i love like if i had the space for it I would still buy VHS tapes and DVDs and bluepines because I just love the idea of actually owning something and if you look you know online seeing like oh sales are down but there's still a community because you'd be surprised like I'll go to McKays when it opens at 9 a.m. And there's a line of people waiting to get in there to sell things and buy things and the lines are full.

It just kind of makes you happy like, oh, this is actually still existing. Yeah, I want to say we've reverted in a little bit where I think people are getting tired of everything being digital. Yeah, I think especially when it comes to music and seeing people buy records because you can actually like hold it. The art is on like big display because now like I feel like album art is kind of gone away because it's just on our phone and like a small little. square, but when you buy a record, you can look at the art, you can pull out, read the lyrics,

you can actually put it on something and listen to it, and your intent is different. So I used to be bigger into record collecting, but I also kind of ran out of space, and my record player doesn't work anymore. So I think once I get a new record player, I'd probably get back into it. I did buy the Post Malone album on vinyl just because that was like a significant one for me to have. But I've gotten out of like going through bins and searching for things at this Unless there's like a big album that comes out that I want to own. Like I do still want to get the title of the creator's new album on record just because I have his album right now behind on my wall like displayed. So I'd like to update that.

But yeah, it's great to get into it. I think I just got to a point where I was only buying records for the sake of collecting them and not listening to them. Yeah. But it is a thing to still be a collection. It's still a cool hobby to collect things. But I do get what you're saying because otherwise it's sitting there collecting dust. And you're kind of like, why do I have it? I also think of it in a way of that is like the only time I really support some of my favorite artists.

Because I think about when I just stream their music, they're not making much off of that. And unless I go see them in concert, like there are some artists that I've never seen them live. I've never bought a T-shirt. I've never paid for their music. So I feel like buying their record is kind of giving something back to them. That's a cool perspective. I guess I've never really looked at it that way. But yeah, you're right.

I mean, because streaming music has changed. changed it. And obviously you're supporting them. They make royalties off of that and stuff. But to your, in the grand scheme of things, in the way that we used to support artists, yeah, it's not. So that's a cool way to look at it, too. I mean, the one of the ones I bought was Bing Crosby, and I don't think I can support him anymore. But, you know, it's keeping his memory alive. His record is really cool. It looks like a candy cane, the Christmas one that I got. I love the colored vinyl. Yeah, those are cool. Most of them are black. And then I did get a little mini one, but I'm not

really sure how that one works. Is it like the seven inch? Yeah. And I think I got to move. Listen, the record, of course, hmm, everything I do is the extended version essentially. But the record player I got, I saw in the reviews is like you're going to have to put together a little bit, but it's good for you to understand how this works.

It's like, cool. Okay. Give me the task. I can do it. It comes in, Mike, and I was like, freaking out. I was sitting there and I was like, I'm not going to figure this out. And then it didn't work and it kept the needle kept like moving off. I was like, I'm going to ruin all these records, and I was stressing out.

And I was like, I got so excited. Like, I had this huge high of, like, it working and then just, like, straight down because I was like, I don't know what's going on. But now that I have the little one, I figured it out. It was a day of figuring it out. But I did. And now that I have a little one, though, I'm like, I don't want to mess with this. I might just look at that one. Yeah, there's the, the 12-inch are, like, the big ones.

And then they make a smaller one that's like a seven-inch, which is usually, like, two to three songs on it, usually just two. and you have to play it at a different speed. So the big records, I believe, are 33 and a half RPM, and then the smaller ones, you have to switch it and run it at 45 RPM. Do you know why they would make some bigger and some smaller? Because a record can only hold a certain amount of information on it. So if they're only putting one or two songs,

they can put it on a smaller record. It's cheaper to make. And then since it's smaller, you have to play it at a higher speed to still have the same revolution, so it still sounds the same. So it really just comes down to like, they would only put those out as like singles. So like, hey, there's one song we want to put out and a B-side on it.

So here's the single. A lot of those they would send to record, I mean, to radio stations back in the day that were just playing one song. They would just put on the smaller record, play that. But still people put them out as like little special things. Yeah, like nostalgia almost. Dang, that's cool. You just taught me a lot that I didn't know about any of that. Yeah, I mean, I used to be way into it.

I think like growing up listening to punk rock, like those. were huge, like the seven-inch, like the singles were huge. Those were more of like a collector's item because they were cheaper to make. So people would make like different covers, different variants of the color of record you could get. So I was big and I still have a lot of those. Dang. Okay. Well, we can't, we could keep talking about this forever because I'm now I'm so obsessed. But we're going to jump out and go do some other stuff like, you know, because Mike and I have 80 million things that we're balancing. So we're going to jump out of here. Tell the people where they can find you, hear you, all that good stuff.

You can listen to my podcast, movie mics, movie podcasts, spoiler-free movie reviews. And also, if you don't like movies, I find that just talking about movies is talking about life. The way I approach my reviews is I always like to give away a little piece of myself in every review. Because if you're talking about a story with characters going through things, you're going to end up talking about how they affect you and what you relate to. So I always try to find, like, how do I relate to this movie and how can somebody listening to you? it also relate to it in that way. Even if you don't see the movie, it's just talking about life. So on that aspect, too, check out the podcast. Yeah, life lessons and movies with Mike. I like it. And you can check out my podcast,

take this personally also. Both of them are good. Both of them are short. So you can fit them all in in two hours if you wanted to. My high school teacher, Mrs. Manning, came on. She was my angel in the situation when I went through bullying. She was my safe space, the classroom that she was at. And she also after my situation went back to school to become the high school counselor instead of a math teacher. Because she didn't like what she was seeing and what she was experiencing and all of that's super cool. So getting to chat with her and catch up on podcast forum is all up on the latest episode.
