It is listener Q&A time. Scoobo Steve is with me this weekend. We're feeling ready for this. Oh, I'm always ready. We stay ready. That's what we just came on here, like right before this. We were like, stay ready. Hell yeah.

Steady, ready, fast steady, ready. Nettie. Okay. Okay. If I like to keep going, he's going to throw some cuss words, and then I'm going to have to feed a lot of stuff. Let's dive in. Jessica would like to know how you met your wife.

Like, how was it a bit? What happened? Jessica, did she leave where she is listening from? She didn't. God, Jessica! So the shorthand version of it, because it's quite a long story. I was living in San Francisco. I was going through a divorce, went through all that stuff,

and then on a morning show called The JV show. on Wild 949 in San Francisco. And as any show, they love content. And so going through divorce was a whole storyline and talking about that and getting me to cry on air and all, go through all the emotions and feelings. And it was a very heavy women audience. I always feel weird when I say female because it's so clinical. Yeah. Like male female.

Male female. Yeah. Like no one really walks around like. Well, that's how it is on like doctors thing. Like, hey, female. It's like more like, hey, what's up woman? What's up male? What's up?

What's up? What's up male? It feels like I'm talking to the male man. What's that male? Exactly. Yeah. So I always, when I go to say female, I'm always like, this sounds weird. Like, no, the women call women females?

Like, is it a thing? No, no, no. Women, ladies, girl. Exactly, yeah. So a heavily woman audience, girl audience. All of that sounds weird now. I don't know what to say anymore. But it's an audience that really is drawn towards like the relationships and all these

kind of the storylines. And so we have the whole storyline and me going through divorce and talking about the cheating and all that stuff. And within that. that then it pivoted into all right now enough time has been and has passed through the divorce let's get him back out there and let's get him dating and let's start that whole saga and so in that process they did many different things we would do things like a we had an event called girls night out where it's literally all women and like everyone there's a woman except for people who are working and um which was really awesome when you're single you're like this is how it works why hey why haven't we done something for

me like basketball but like of course men. A bunch of dudes. Yeah. There's a lot of guys here at Nashville. We could do something like that. I think the reason why they don't do it anymore in San Francisco was because they got in illegal trouble because then guys were upset that they couldn't be there because they were segregating men and it was only women. But the whole premise of it was to give women a night out. It's a bit people. Yeah, that exactly. That is. That's it. And it cost no money. It was free entry. You just had a call into the station. Like, hey, what's your name? All right, Sarah. Plus two. We'll see you there at the sound factory on Friday. Yeah.

But what we did for the guys, though, was at some point we had to open up the club because it was a massive club. And then once it hit, I think, like 11 p.m. And all the girls were slashed. Then it was like a hunting fest. That would be why. You guys opened up. And then the doors opened up. And they don't think it was that it was just girls.

I think you had legal problems because of what you just said. Okay. We're going to stop there before we dive any further. Yeah. But anyways. Talk to me about your wife. Yeah. So then it kind of got into me getting me out there in many different ways to date.

And then one of the ways was, We talked about it on air. And then we were giving women my email address and the station contacts and send in, you know, your picture or whatever it is. And I was getting people were calling in and emailing and stuff on. I think back then was just Facebook and Instagram had just started. MySpace. MySpace was definitely was dying or dead.

Or Justin Timberlick was trying to revive it and didn't work out. Gotcha. I feel like the biggest. Well, Twitter was really, Twitter was massive. Twitter was massive. Facebook was kind of like, it was kind of on the end of like going towards the older demographic. and Instagram was still being figured out, but it was mostly just posting pictures of food and buildings.

Yeah. So they would contact me in many different ways. Mostly be either women or like sons or like people would be like, hey, you should go out my mom or you should go out with my hand. We love that. We love it. Some of them were like, okay. And some of them are like, okay. I do get a lot of moms in my DMs.

You're like, you're perfect for my son. I was like, I don't know that I should be labeled that's perfect for anyway. Yeah, exactly. But I love y'all. Thanks so much for thinking of me. I'm going to pass. And then so a lot of different things came through. And then one of them was an email for my wife.

And it was very, very like, because most of them were like over the top or they were too much. Or it was we talked to them on the air and we'd call them and set it up interviews and stuff. And then one of them was my wife. And she was just very plain and simple. And she was just like, hey, this is my name. I'm half Filipino and Chinese and white. This is my, my, you know, this is what I like this, like this, like this. Like a dating resume.

Yeah. And then just sent me a picture. It was like three lines max Or some were like a brick Like it was like just so much You're just like oh my God you're crazy And so then I called her And then we brought her on the air

And had our first conversation And then I was so awkward and so nervous And the guys in the show RICO and JV Had to like help me talk me through it And then we set up a date Our first date in JV Was supposed to go with me With his wife Natasha

To go on this first date And of course he bailed And then And then left it to me To do it all my own and then so we met up at a bar two blocks from my apartment because my idea I lived in a really nice part of town knob hill and my whole thought process was like oh I'm going to get her to get a couple of drinks we're going to come back out to my apartment oh scuba have a good time and then

whatever happens happens it wasn't really thinking at the time I wasn't thinking about oh I want to fall back into a serious relationship again I want to just date and have fun yeah never did I have any plans of where I am now with this and then we met and we ended up talking the tunnel top bar up of Stockton and I think it's post anyone that knows where that's at. Oh my god, I don't where that's at. Talking to you right now. That place is amazing. You haven't been there. You got to check out the bar. It's sick. So I went in there and I met her. I was a little bit late. Oh, even funnier story before all that. We're going to have, this is going to be a long one, huh? That is up to you. I asked you one question and somehow I've gotten like 10 answers,

but I'm rolling with it. What was the initial question just so I can Make sure I want the same track. How did you meet your wife and how was it a bit? So I do think we have answered that question. Oh, I've already answered that. So then, so I can say the rest for another time then I guess. Well, you can't, don't do like a deep tease. I don't know that I'm going to remember that.

So just share it, but just condense it. Okay. So that was the answer to Jessica. Jessica's question. Yeah. Was that. Essentially the radio bit, emailed, talked to her, went on a date, snowballed into a relationship with family and kids and everything.

Love it. Three babies. Here we are. Yes, exactly. Yes. Yeah. And so to cap this story off our. first date story met at the tunnel top bar we hung out had a drink I bought the first round about the

second round and then I knew things were going well when she bought the third round so she went and bought the third drink and I was like oh I'll get the next one she's like or you want to go somewhere else she's like no no this is great let's just stay here I'll get the next one I was like oh okay and I was like you sure and she's like no I got it's all good I'm like all right so she bought the third drink and then I think it went back buying the fourth and she bought the fifth and it was like back and forth I think by the fifth or six drink we were you know but it was a span of I think four hours so five or six drinks over four hours wasn't really that big of a deal, but we were a little tipsy,

and we were just talking and just going over life, because, you know, she was, at the time, she was someone who listened to the show occasionally. She's like, hey, I listen sometimes, but I don't listen all the time. It was just a heritage show in that market, and anyone from the Bay Area had lived there knows doghouse.

Doghouse was like effing, like iconic on the West Coast in the 90s and 2000s. And then it turned to the JV show because they got in a lot of trouble, and they kept one guy and fired the other guy and built a new show and I was part of the new version of that but anyways I just look at no against

Tim Morgan's face but her face is like holy crap where's the end of the story you want to answer the question too I was letting you figure it out you know I'm big on letting people figure it out so I'll just get I'll just really quickly wrap up the story and we're going to the next question

to end that story we had a great time long conversation if anybody would like to know why scuba and lunchbox get along it's because this is what their stories sound like. I have, I have a story attached with that after scuba finishes is eight one. Yeah. Well, I like to go off on tangents and then I can rope myself right back into it and, and, and, like, add, like, all these, like, fun stories and thoughts for people. I love all your fun stories and stuff. I just don't want to keep you here forever. I know, I know. I know. I have a lot of things later. You do have, you have this wife that you're talking about and three

kids at home. So I'm very true. Try to be respectful of your time. I appreciate that. Thank you so much, Morgan. Yeah, just to wrap that up. We had a great time. And then obviously, and when she left, this is what hooked me. When we were leaving, I was like, all right, hey, you know, I live up there, two blocks up the hill, past the Ritz next to the Fairmont. She's like, oh, that's cool. And I was like, all right, so you want to go? She's like, no, I'm good. And within like a half a second, she'd already texted like her friends or cousin.

And it was her cousin, a friend and like another cousin. And they rolled up in this like Volkswagen Jetta. And in the same moment of me offering her to come to my spot. She was like, oh, no, it's all good. I'm going to go home. And I was like, oh, okay, you need a ride. Car rolls up, like it was a freaking movie, rolls up. She looks at me, gives me a side hug, gets in the car.

and drives off. And I was like, what the heck is going on right now? Because I want more of that. And so she really hooked me in and then it turned a second date. And then yeah. I love it. Yes. I love your wife too. She's amazing. Thank you. She's pretty badass. Okay. Speaking, the story that I wanted to share was when we went and filmed lunchbox's coffee bit. Oh yeah. I was along for the ride with scuba and lunch who were in the front of scuba's truck and I was sitting in the back. And they just kept, they were talking away. Like how you just heard scuba talk? Imagine two of them. Okay. Imagine two of me. going back and forth.

Literally two of them back and forth. Then I'm just sitting back there like on my phone. I'm listening, but I'm not saying anything because you can't get a word in with these two. We kept asking like, where is she at? You're going to say something? Lunchbox is like, Morgan, yeah, you agree. You back there. I'm like, yeah.

And then they just start talking again. I was like, well, okay, I'm not going to share that. So I just stopped talking. So that was how our relationship goes outside of the studio. Everybody always wants to know behind the seats and how things work. You get scuba and lunch in a room. You don't get to be. You get to be a spectator.

You're not a participant. It's funny. It's entertaining. But yeah. Okay. We're going to move on to Kayla. Who wants to know how it was like working from home being snowed in with your family. Kayla,

no city either. No. Some of them did. Kayla. A few of them did. Actually, I'm pretty sure there's like two money that did. Okay.

Jeez, people. She even said, I saw it. You put name and where you're asking your question from. Yeah, it's okay. I used to date a girl. girl in high school name Kayla. I don't think this is that kid.

Probably not her. Yeah. I don't think so. That one didn't end well. Okay. Kayla. Yes. How was your snowed in?

Her family. How was snowed with the family? It was cool like the first day because this happened two years ago where the same thing happened. Same stretch of road gets iced over and nothing can do about it. And I'm not looking to. And lunchbox is like, well, you got the biggest truck on the show four wheel drive.

Four wheel of drive has nothing to do with anything when you're driving on a sheet of ice. Yeah, especially down a hill. And down a hill into an embank. in and like a 14 foot drop off. Like it's just not, and what's the point? I had four wheel drive and I was still sliding. Like four wheel drive helps give you traction.

Yeah. But it doesn't, when you got black ice and ice happening, like, grip in anything. No. Yeah. You're just free balling it.

Yeah, you're sliding all over the place. So it's like, so like I went out to go check the road every single day and I put on baseball cleats with the metal spikes in them. So I could, so I can grip the ice. That's like a snow shoe.

Yeah. You were doing snowshoing, but with cleats. Yes, then I don't have snow shoes, but I had baseball cleats because I was a baseball coach. So I had these cleats and I would be able to walk on the ice. And I was walking pretty fast. And I was like, people were driving by or walking by. And I was like, oh, it's the metal cleats.

And so we check it every day and it just was consistent. And then it rained and then it melted. And then it all would freeze every night. And it kept getting like thicker and thicker layers. And I was like, oh, my God, we're never going to be able to leave here. So I enjoyed the first couple days because it was nice to be around family and they don't have school either. My wife works from home. So it was like all of us at home.

But it was tough because then it was like my wife and I going back and forth. I'm like, okay, I have to be on with this part of my job from five to 11. And then at 11, then you can come in the office and then I'll go out and switch. And then I'll watch the kids, but like have my laptop up and just, you know, maintain my emails and requests and things that come through. And then we'll flip back again because I got to go back in there and have a little bit of grinding time. So it was kind of cool for a while. I got a little routine.

But then after a while, you have cabin fever. Yeah. You start to run out of food. And then you're like, oh, my God. I'm going to eat my third child or my dog who's 17, but the meat's going to be really weird and old and tough. Why did you have to go there? Like, listen, I was okay with the child because like, y'all are weird

and you guys talked about that a lot. But the dog, what are the dogs? I watched a video that Snoop Dog posted the other day talking about animal. Did you see that? No, I don't. Do you think I would watch that video? Well, it wasn't like you didn't know what it was. There was a video showing like graphs of all the animals that humans eat.

And then it's like, it starts off like somebody like, okay, whatever. And they gets the one. You're like, oh, goat, okay. And then it gets the dog. It's like 25 million dogs. are consumed a year. Oh, why do you have to... And then the very last one...

We're done. And the last one's like... You and I are done right now. And then it's like 25 million dogs are... It's because of China and Korea. Yeah, Asian... Different cultures eat different food. I mean, if you're in a place where you can't afford the means to have, like,

what we have, cows, chickens, all the basics, lambs. Lamb was also high on the list, too, like in the billions. Like that, people, many people eat lamb? Yeah, that also makes me to have their little babies. I know. Okay, we're done. And chicken was the highest, which made the most. sense.

We're done with this crap. I'm gonna cry. 25 million dogs are consumed. Okay, why do you have to keep repeating it? I guess I want to just put out there that other countries can't afford the delicacies we have. So they have to just, there's meat on it. There's a running dog running around.

Okay. It's just like when someone choose a turkey or a chicken. I can't even watch dogs dying in movies scuba. You think I can keep dealing with this graph? But when your family needs to eat and there's nothing available. I'm going to pull a londra. You're in the Philippines and there's no money. There goes a dog, healthy dog.

You grab it. Oh my God, I'm going to hurt you. We do things of like, who's going to be eating, what person first. We're going to take a quick break. All right, you're done. You got cut off. You're done. You're crazy.

We're moving into the next question. All right, next question. Laura would like to know if you've ever been arrested. Laura would no damn city. No, I told you there's only like two of these. Laura, Jessica and Kayla. You had one. At least you remembered all the names.

You had two instructions. I've been arrested. I've been arrested. I've been close many different times and I've been in the back of a cop car one time. I feel like I told that story once before. But if I haven't, I'll give you a very shorthand version. We used to do these videos in my neighborhood. It sounds like lunchbox is the same thing too.

No, we talked about this on The Best Bits. I remember the story. Yeah, we do this whole skit. This is before Jackass. We did this whole skit of like someone skating and it was very elaborate. One person would fall over and trip and then a car would pull over. And then we try to get them to help them out and they get out, oh, you're an idiot, whatever. And we record it.

We did a bunch of other things like holding a sign. I didn't hear that full extended story. You need to keep listening to the best bits. Last time we talked. It was an extensive story we talked about. Oh, yeah. It was hilarious. Yeah.

It was a hilarious time doing it. But then one time we got caught and I was the guy that got that was staying back because I was one of the plants and I didn't move fast enough. And I saw a cop and I was the only one that had like a conscience and I was like, well, I guess I shouldn't run because there's a cop here. Because then I'm like, if you run, then you're running from the cops. But everyone ran except for me. You had that freeze mode.

You know, or you're like in fight or flight or it's fight, fire. freeze you were freeze well i was freezing i was like uh and i think the cop fell bad for me because he's like everyone else ran off and he's like clearly this is the one kid that has a conscious and knows okay cops coming up don't run yeah or he just panicked yeah yeah yeah yeah but i was like i think it was 13 or 14 yeah 13 or 14 oh that was the stories i told you we bought a car for 500 and drove running fresh yeah it was a whole i'm telling you we like extensively got it this yeah because it's entertaining yeah so yeah so yeah so that was when i you know the back of the cop car I brought it back to my house.

My grandma was there. Thank God my mom. My mom wasn't home. I just bawling because I was so nervous that I was going to go to jail, but you can't go to jail when you're 14. But yeah, that's the only time I've ever been that because I don't know if I could physically or mentally handle being arrested,

like being held down with cuffs and all that. I think I lose my crap. Like, I don't know how I'd be able to handle it. Yeah, I'm not a lawbreaker. I'm like, I always did stupid things,

like stupid things. Yeah. But like, I couldn't be like a genuine thief or like a, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, We got into pools when we shouldn't have.

And I ran away when I shouldn't have. Dumb crap. Yes. But like a genuine like law brain, I could never. I am the worst liar, the worst like, I would give myself up so fast. I'd be like, yeah, no, I did it. That was me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, it was only me. You would run and you'd stay back and you'd probably rat everyone out. I wouldn't ride anybody out. I just thought. I can't talk right now. But that was me. I was there. I'll take the fall.

I didn't run out of Brent, Mauricio, or anything. other guys. Well, now you did. It was too late, though. That's the limitations from well over 10 years. Okay. Well over. Okay. McKenzie would like to know there's no state. McKenzie, Jessica, Kayla.

If we have any new hobbies because she's trying to find things to do besides going to the bars, which I get it. Girl, I get it. But she needs a new hobby and looking to us. She would like new hobbies and wants to know if we have any new ones that she could maybe try. I mean, my mall walking is the thing. I'm walking. I saw that.

Yeah, you're doing a lot of walking. I'm trying to go to the mall though. What are you going to go to the mall and do it? I love going to do it. I love going to the mall. Actually, that is a new hobby. I have me and my friends now, we like to go and hang out at the mall. We're bringing that back.

Okay. Yeah. So that has been a thing. I love the mall. I am genuinely also mall walking. Okay, good. I just mall rock around the studio. Yeah.

Oh, okay, cool. You go there before the mall opens when all the gates are down and everything. Oh, no. No, that's when you're a true of mall walker. Well, you can get in there when it's closed. Yeah, you can get in the mall. The mall opens, let's say the mall opens at 10. Every mall opens 30 minutes before that.

Oh, I didn't. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So you go there 30 minutes earlier. I go there all the time before it opens because I've, like during COVID, there was nowhere really to go. So we would go to the mall and just walk around, let the kids run around.

There's nobody there. I need to look into that. Yeah. I didn't know that. Okay. I would do that. Oh, yeah. The Alta-Mall where I grew up, all the old people, every time you'd get there right, because I had to go there earlier to get, like, shoe drops or shoes that would come out.

And there'd be this old couple at 930 just in their freaking track suit. At the end of it, they go get a little ice cream from Chick-fil-A in the small food court. Oh. I love them. Don't even know them and I love them. I know. So mall walking, genuinely like outside and inside. Yeah, okay.

Walking. A hobby for me, man, I don't even know if I even have time for a hobby. I coached my son's basketball team and we're on a two-game win streak this season. A hobby could be getting involved in sports, whether it be you playing the sport, like adult rec leagues. Rec leagues are so much fun. I've been trying to get us on the show to play. softball forever. I've been trying to play softball. Volleyball. I've been trying everything. And you know what? Has it happened in seven years I've lived in Nashville? Not one dang time. Well, when does softball,

I imagine it's going to be coming up soon, right? Yeah. Can we do that for us? I've tried. I've literally even prepped it and been like, I would like to our show to play out of league. Well, this time we should do it. Well, nobody, nobody seems to want to. We should just put it together and then make everyone sign up and and then they don't sign up. Then we'll just go get other people to sign up with us. Yeah, but who else we're going to get to sign up? Your kids? No. We can't have them play.

No, no, they're good at basketball, not softball. Yeah, so who else are we getting to sign up? So I know for sure I would be in. You would be in. Lunchbox. Lunchbox would be in. Probably like kick off Kevin and Pitts. Kevin and Pitts.

Okay. Ray, I don't think so, yeah. He's sketchy. You never know what he's going to do. Abby maybe? Abby, Abby, Abby, maybe what? Six. Abby.

Abby. I think Amy might. She's not guarantee. Yeah, but she's, yeah, but she's, that's, we're looking at six. Okay. We're looking at six right now. How many people do you need on a team? I think you need like 10.

Well, think about it. You need to have all the bases, all your positions covered. Six. So then we then now go through and find four country singers to do it. I do like that. Okay.

Let me see what we can sign up and I'll get us. I'll see whoever wants to join and we're going to do it this year. Yeah, we can get Chris Young on our team. He's really tall. Okay. And probably strong.

Riley Green's actually, they're really good. Riley Green's really good. Baseball layer. Baseball layer. Yeah. But like, I don't know that. We're all good to keep up with his good.

I know what I mean. People who are not busy and not. Yeah, all the country artists are kind of busy. I know, especially because it becomes travel season, right? If you are in the industry or you live in Nashville, maybe you want to play on our team, let us know. Yeah. Or maybe we get other people in the building that want to play. That's true, too.

But then it becomes not a volleyball show. Then it becomes our media Nashville. Well, we've tried to do. Yeah, it's true. Maybe that's what we do. Maybe F that. Maybe scratch, we just do the cluster. Yeah.

And then we invite people upstairs from the pop station and the rock station. Just have a little part. See, I like this. There you go, boom. That's a good hobby. Also, cooking. I picked up cooking. I love it.

That keeps me entertained at home. Okay. Like trying new recipes and, like, staying in a little bit more. Yeah. I also binge watch movies. That's a hobby. Like, all binge watch movie series. Like, that's how I got into Marvel.

Okay. Like, I watched all 23 in a row. Then I watched all nine of the Star Wars movies. And then I watched all. all of the What was the other one I did? I did so many of them I can't keep tracking more

You've watched a lot of movies Have you watched The Usual Suspects yet? The usual, when did you tell me about that one? I mean like probably four or five different best bits The usual suspects? Yeah, it's got Kevin Spacey in it It's got

I don't think you talked about that on the main show I don't think we talked about that here You talked to me about another one that was a sci-fi That I did try and watch with Tom Hanks And I couldn't get into it What? I know I did try that one though And I had to run it.

How far did you get into it? I was like 45 minutes or an hour. Are you serious? I couldn't get into it. You gave up on it? Yeah. Did you not understand what it was doing? No, I did understand.

I just like wasn't viving with it. It could have been in my mood, but I even rented it. Wow. Wow. Oh my God, you still gave up on it? Yeah. You didn't get to the payoff? I tried.

Wow. I don't think it had good reviews though either. Cloud Atlas. Yeah, well, because most reviewers are washed up losers. No, like I'm talking about the crowd. Review. Not the, not, I'm not talking about the critics review. Oh, yeah.

Audience score. Yeah. Critics are just mad they could make their own movies. Yeah. I'm talking about what audience score. What are you talking about? Other hobbies, volunteering. Like, I volunteer at retirement home with Remy.

We're a therapy animal team and I love doing that. Volunteering makes you feel good. I used to just go to the shelters and just walk around look at the dogs. You could go take shelter dogs on walks. Yeah, I used to just walk around, just check them out, look at them. And I'd find dogs that were like the star pets that were about to be euthanized. and I would want to hang out them for a little bit. And then my thinking was if I would be really, in fact, about a certain dog,

maybe someone walking by, oh, I want that one because he seems interested into it. So I would, I would, I wouldn't go there and walk the dogs. I purposely would go there to make people want to donate a dog because I was interested in it. To adopt a dog. To adopt a dog. Yeah. What did I say? Donate a dog.

Oh. Definitely not the same thing. Just wanted to clarify. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would purposely try to do this mind trick of, like, getting people to want to adopt the dog. Uh-huh. Yes. I love it.

Sometimes. Mostly on the star pets, because those are the ones that are older and they're about to be tip put down. So I was like, maybe this is some sort of psychological trick where I can get people to want to donate dogs. Or, God, dang it. Adopt dogs. Would you donate a dog? All right. We're going to take another quick break here before Scoba tries to donate something else. We have two more questions to answer. All right, here's your ones that shared where they're from, Scuba. Okay. Erica in Texas.

Texas wants to know the one thing you miss about working in California and the one thing you hate about working in Tennessee. Well, one first thing comes off to my mind is the fact that you can't roll over vacation days. That's so stupid. The state of California and a lot of other states have it to where. I was like, what? Why did that change? Yeah, it's never been nothing here in Tennessee because it's a right to work state and it's so ass backwards and run by a bunch of old white people. Why do you have to cuss?

Now I got to beep you. It's ass. You could say ass. Oh, don't. This is wrong with ass. Like badass. Bro, that is six times I'm going to have to beep you out. Are you serious?

Well, I don't know. I don't know. I can tell you right now it's not a problem. Okay. Well, six beeps. I've been to know. Because you just keep going in on it. But it's like when you say jackass, like a donkey.

Scooba. That's okay. Now I have seven. That's not one you have to believe. There's little kids that listen to us. Yeah, but their parents are way worse than I am. Okay. Go on with your story.

So, yeah. So it's so stupid because the fact that you, It's you, so Tennessee doesn't understand, and a lot of other states do, and California is one of them, that your vacation days are a benefit that you have accrued because you worked to accomplish those and have those. And other states roll over into the next year, the next year, the next year. And I think at some point it caps and it's like, you can't roll over anymore. But you don't lose them. Here, this is a you don't use them, you lose them. And I'm like, what?

So my vacation, if I don't use it by the end of the year, it's gone. It just disappears. And I start fresh at the beginning of every new year. And I'm like, what? Those are mine. I've earned those. You can't take them from me and just disappear. Those are mine because also if you were to leave a job or quit a job or get fired, they pay you out for all your outstanding vacation days.

And so when I left in San Francisco to move to L.A., I quit my job and I had like, I had rolled over like eight weeks of vacation. So I had like a fat check to roll me to L.A. to live off of for a little bit. And when I moved here, I think my first year went into 2021 or whatever. And I was like, my vacation days were all gone. I was like, what? I had to do some research. And I was like, what kind of old-ass rule? Oh, God.

Beeps. What kind of old rule is this? Archaic 1927 rule. That and the fact that marijuana is illegal is just mind-blowing. Okay. So it was kind of like something you loved about California and that white got it. Okay. Yeah.

What was the question about work though? Yeah, like one thing you missed about working. Oh, weed has nothing to work, by the way. So I probably should just, nick that one. I feel like you're actually listening to these questions. You guys love when we get unhinged, and man, is it unhinged today? I think what do I miss from there to there? Well, one thing for sure is the cluster I worked out before, everyone was there.

So it was like there was more of like an environment. You mean you weren't secluded at a basement and everybody forgot about you? Exactly. Yes. Yeah. So it was kind of cool in the Burbank office because all the stations were there, all the shows were there. you'd see everyone and it was kind of it was pretty cool and it was also cool because in other shows like big boys show would have a bunch of like hip-hop artists come through so you'd have the game come through and you'd have like all these people cut you're like this is so cool um so you kind of hear we don't have that because like you said we're in a basement locked up and everyone's forgotten about us yeah we're like the ugly stepchild I know it doesn't so I was like that kind of sucks so you lose like that feeling like that feeling like that feeling like it to a certain degree but you kind of lose that feeling of synergy and you lose that kind of sense of you kind of feel like that kind of synergy and the culture.

Also, nobody canceled me for saying that. That came from Cinderella. What's that? For seeing the ugly stepchild. I'm sure there's a reason I'm supposed to say that anymore. But it came from Cinderella. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah.

It probably isn't. So sorry. You're fine. You're dwelling on something doesn't even matter. I get canceled for my banks every day. Okay. Okay. Oh, boy.

But I think that would be the biggest thing would be that. Without getting too much to like my personal beliefs or thoughts. or feelings of one to the other. I think that would be the biggest thing is just the lack of culture within clusters from Burbank to Nashville. I think we are moving to a new studio allegedly at the end of the year

so that could play into that again, which is cool. I like being in an environment where everyone's around and we see everyone. And I've always been the one in all my previous markets, like when we're a pop station

going up against a hip hop station and we're in the same building. I can't believe you're over there talking to Big Vaughn or Chewy from the I'm like, I don't really care. Yeah, we go up against him the ratings, but I like him and he likes me. You're still technically on the same team in a way.

Yeah. We're still in the same company and everything. We're still playing for the same, whatever. But like- It's also just cool to be nice. Yeah, that too, yeah. And I always enjoyed being around other people and other. I just, I don't know, I just like people.

Yeah. And so I was always- People people. Yes. And so I just never understood that. So I like the cluster. I like the environment. That'd be the work thing.

It would be the one biggest thing from that the other without getting to like, love it. Granular and offending anyone. Yeah. No more beeps. I already have nine. Beeps. Okay.

Beep, the last one we're going to end up with Ashley from Ohio. Ashley, Ohio. She wants to know the best piece of advice we've ever received. Best piece, I would say for me being a father, and when I got it, it was so cliche. And I'm like, oh my God, whatever. And it is cliche, but it totally is true,

especially if you have kids or your kids or you've, or I don't know, whatever, I'll just say it. Who gives a crap? I almost said the S word. Is crap okay with you? Yeah. It's not me. It's the little children that are listening.

Well, like, for example, in the Bay Area, people say hella. Okay, that's fine. But it's not fine, though, because then kids will walk around saying hecka. Okay. Because they can't say hella. Why did you now tell them what's his? So they say, oh, that's hecka uncool. Like, hecka uncool.

And I was like, just say hell. And he goes, I can't say hella. Well, you just said hella. Anyways, so I can't beep all that So y'all are on your own out there But even Gwen Stefani has a song called Hela Right? Like Hela Cool or something

Are you talking about Hala back girl? No, that's Hala. She's a song called Hela, right? Gwen Stefani. Anyways. This has nothing to do with advice, Kuba. I know, but we're talking about cuss words. Oh my goodness.

Her song Hela good. Hello good. Remember that one? Yeah. Do you really remember that one? I do. No, I do. You got me feeling hella good.

Okay, anyways. Did you share your piece of advice now? My piece of advice is to not let me talk. My piece of advice is that I got from some, a lot of, mostly a lot of parents that were like me now in this position, they'd come and tell me and they'd be like, dude, you got to just slow down and enjoy the small moments, the little things in life,

and try to suck up every moment and be there for everything you can be for your kids. Because it all, Kenny Chessing says, the best. Don't blink. Look at you with a country music reference. No, none of the words except don't blink is the title of the song.

But I know that it's true. My son, literally you blink, he was an infant, and now he's freaking five and a half turning six, and he's in kindergarten, he's playing basketball,

and it's like, wow. And then I could see all the different layers of children, too, because I have one that's five, I have one that's three, and then I have one that's one. So I'm seeing all the stages of life

in that time frame that I, I've seen and have been able to experience. I'm just like, holy crap, it's, people are right. Like, slow it down, try to be there, try to be present. That's the biggest thing is we all want to just dick around on our phones and look around. That one's okay.

Hey, Richard. There's no judgment from me. I know, I know, I know. Oh, God. Anyways, just be present. Just be present. Okay. Well, the lyrics go, don't blink.

Just like that. You're six years old. I don't think I have the rhythm right because now I'm all throwing off. Now you're 17. And you wake up and you're 25 and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife. Yep, there you go. Started to sound like lunchbox. Yeah, but that was my biggest advice for parents or people who are new parents or people

who want to become a parent. When that happens, be present. Put your phone down. When there's times that you're supposed to be doing family time, do family time. Focus on that because when you're at work, you're at work. When you're at home, you should be at home because they will grow. And then I see it from my mom.

She's like, she looks at me. She's like, oh my God, you're almost 40. Like, holy crap, you used to be that. You know? So I get that perspective and just like, oh, my gosh, she's right. They're right. Everyone has told me is totally right. Just chill.

So I've been really trying. I've been doing that, but I've been trying to do it even more. Because now that I'm like, oh, my gosh, I just had my last kid. Like, that's it. So this last kid that now just started walking, that's the last kid that's ever going to walk. and all these things. So it's just like, oh my God, it's so much. So much to where I'm like, man, I want to quit my job and just stay at home.

No, I'll be a stay-at-home dad. I would love to be a stay-at-home dad. Oh, my God, be so cool. But I don't have the funds to be able to be a stay-at-home dad. So society. I don't like any of us do, you know. Oh, a lot of us do. Okay, but this isn't a lot of us.

Yeah. I said, I don't think a lot of us do. Yeah, so there's a good percentage. And those people don't even take time off and be with their kids. You're like, wow. But I have the perspective that if I had the money, I would definitely take the money and invest it into me just being able to be with my family. That'd be the ultimate win.

You're a good dad. Impossible. You're a good dad. I hope you know that. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. What would be your best piece of advice?

The one that sticks out to me, it was when I was dealing with my bullying situation in high school. And this was so ironic. I hated math. It was my worst subject. But the math teacher really became like my safe haven during like school period, class. Like when you were passing in the hallways and stuff, I would always like duck out and I would hide in her classroom until like I had to walk to class and everybody was no longer in the hallways. Can I unearth or uncover? What was, why would they bully you?

So I was part of a cheerleading team and it was actually girls that I had been friends with like my whole. Yeah. Like as far as I remember, right? Like my whole career of schooling and we were all good friends. But something just happened. Like one day I had walked in and like one of the girls, I was. was a flyer on the cheer team. And one of the girls told another one, like, I hope she falls on her face and dies.

Oh my God. And amongst other things, but that was the one that always, like, still sticks out literally in my brain every day. But I was a flyer. And so I was having to trust these people to put me in the air. Now you're worried if they're going to make you fall on your face and die. Literally. Yeah.

So like, it became this whole thing that happened on the cheer squad. There is a mat. There's so much more to it. But that's where it begun. Wow. And. So probably some sort of jealousy or some sort of something. Oh, yeah.

And my high school principal at the time who was an idiot, thought it would be a good idea for us to all be in a room and us confront it head on. Yeah. When you do that with girls, it doesn't work, okay? Yeah. It's just not how girls operate. Especially teenage girls. They're not mature adults where they're going to be able to listen and have a conversation.

So I had to sit there in front of my bully and say, why do you not like me? Yeah. That was what I had to ask. And to which he responded, I just don't. Yeah. It was the most unproductive thing, and all it did was make everything worse. Yeah. And I'm sitting here still confused on why this is happening.

And now I don't have any further help. And now I just got made fun of more. Yeah, now they hate you even more now because now you went to the principal. And I'm like, you freaking. It was horrible. Like the way of my school, it was all horrible. Yeah. So this math teacher who, she's now Miss Manning, or she was Miss Manning.

I can't remember which one's her. She married Peyton? No, no, no, no. She was Miss Manning when I went. Okay. And now, gosh, now I can't remember her last name now. But she was literally like my safe haven for those school passings because people had begun spreading even more rumors about me. And it just became a really horrible place to be.

Yeah. And so I would sit in that room, but she would always like talk to me. It wasn't like I just, you know, stay in there and hide. She always talked to me. And the thing she always told me was like, you should not care about what any of these people say about you. Yeah. She's like, I know that it hurts and I know that it sucks. but these people are clearly envious of who you are as a person.

And that is all this is. Yeah. And there's nothing you can do about it. And there's nothing that's going to change. And we would have those conversations often. Because as a girl and her teens and high school going through like the worst thing you could possibly think of. Yeah. All I'm sitting there is like, why is this happening to me?

What did I do? Yeah. And I took it all on. I took on all the pain. And all she was trying to do was take it out. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

And so that advice has carried me through my entire. entire life, especially now being like in the public eye and people always having opinions about what I do. Of course. Yeah. Like, why would I care? And I don't. Like the thick skin that I have now, holy crap.

Because in high school, that girl didn't. Yeah. Nobody's born with thick skin. Nobody wants to be made fun of. You unfortunately have to go through those things to get thick skin. And now I can see them. 99.9% of the time I can see them and I'm laughing. And I can have sassy responses and I can be funny.

Yeah. But before that would ruin me. me. Like, so her talking me through that and just instilling at me at such a difficult time, like, this is why you will eventually not care. This is why I'm trying to help you through not caring right now. Uh-huh. And that has stayed with me. My whole life. Was she like an older teacher, younger? Oh, no. She was young. Oh, cool. So she may have been through a recent experience, probably, or experience very similar to when she was in high school. You know, and it's crazy too. She's now the guidance counselor because of that situation. That's cool. That's cool.

Literally, she went back to school or she took class. I'm not sure what happened. But she went back to become the guidance counselor because of how bad the situation, how it was handled. It was like, I never want somebody else to go through this again. Wow. That's pretty incredible in the sense that she almost found her calling. Like, I need to fix this because this principal or whoever runs this is not going to be able to do it right. Yeah.

And she's still is. She's still a guidance counselor today. I go back. I see her often, like, love her. That's really cool. That's a great piece of advice because even like all of us, I think even as adults, too, you still get stuck in your head. but especially when you're in middle school and high school,

oh my gosh, you are all up in your head and you think all these things and nine times out of 10, some people aren't even thinking that or the ones who are thinking it aren't even worth your time. Like who cares? And then when you look at the whole grand scheme of life, high school is a blip in time compared to the rest of your life. Now, granted, a lot of my traumas,

it's a lot of it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I couldn't tell you like half the things that happened in high school now. Yeah. So. Because it doesn't really matter. No, like I, it sucks that I still have to remember

the really crappy ones. Like the fact that I can still remember the exact words that that woman said about me. Yeah. Sucks. But most of it, I'm like, I don't know what I did on a Friday night. The thing that I was probably so were, I don't know. I don't remember. But it was. It was such a very pivotal, important piece of advice to receive at a very moment in time in my life that was changing. Yeah. Most definitely. And to have been able to hear or to have that filter and I'm trying to still it in my kids, I'm like, who cares? And also always be. kind to everyone because you never know what someone's going through at home with their family or

whatever and if someone's I just always think like full perspective of people you just don't know and so for you to go after them and attack them for something because of your insecurities or because you're or whatever like it's just not worth it it's not worth it because then that person goes home and then and their home wife already sucks now their school life sucks not everything sucks yeah so it's like it's just like come on guys yeah and that whole hurt people hurt people was really, really true. Like hurting people are, will hurt people. Of course, yeah, totally.

Yeah. Oh my God, yeah. Wow, okay. Those are, we had, those are two great pieces of advice. Look at us. High five. Hell, yeah. Bring it in it.

Come on one on. Come on. Woo. That was an audible high five, too. Okay. You put your hand up and I think you got just my fingers and that fit your whole hand in it. It really did. It really did.

Your hand versus my hand. It's like Shaquille O'Neill versus everyone else in the world. All right. Before Scoo, he keeps comparing himself to Shaq. It's good, but tell people where they can find you on all that stuff. Well, I've got some new information more again. You do. You do.
