Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.
It's listener Q&A Daytime.
Where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.
Welcome, everybody, listener Q&A time.
Steve is joining me.
We've got some listener questions here.
Are you ready?
I'm always ready for them.
And they give their proper name and location for all of them.
Don't berate the ones that didn't, though.
Well, you just make it up.
I would never know if you would have made it up.
I know, but I'm not very good at lying.
We've learned this about me.
Yeah, but it's just like improv.
You're not really necessarily lying.
You're just like committing to something and just like a white lie.
We're blur in the lies.
We're blurring lines.
I like blurred lines.
Okay.
Well, we're starting out with a shout out from Michelle in Apple Valley.
Oh, yeah.
But isn't it the same Apple Valley?
Okay, gotcha.
She said I've said it once or twice, but I'll say it again.
You guys are my favorites.
Here, Apple Valley.
She wants to always make sure we know that she loves us.
She validates it.
I appreciate that, Michelle.
That's what we appreciate.
All right.
Hillary in Texas would like to know how old is Scoobo Steve?
Westbox mentioned
to her day
we don't even know how old he is
and everyone's like
scuba this is a question
blowing up in this one
like how old is scuba
I don't know
how old am I
I always think that
and it's funny
because I was hanging
on my friend David
last night
and we were talking about
he's like man I just feel
I don't know how we got on the subject
but I always just feel
youthful inside
he goes I don't feel like
I am the age that I am
because I always
envision myself at a certain age
and I was like
what do you see yourself as
and he's like 1920
and in my head
I'm always 25
no matter what with, I mean, of course, decision making, I have to be a different kind of adult when it becomes the kids and work or whatever.
But I just feel and think that I'm 25 years old, always.
You know that you can feel and think 25, but still be a different age.
Of course, yeah, yeah.
Your time on earth is longer than what you feel and think.
But for me, I'm 25.
Okay, but being alive is a beautiful thing.
It is, it is.
I live for years.
I know you're somewhere in your 30s.
Like, actually.
I just don't know where.
I know.
It's like this one time there are, you know, Neo, the artist.
Yeah.
Neo.
So he came in studio when I was in San Francisco and I was putting together the prep.
And like it doesn't really matter what his age is, but I just put on there so he knew it in his
birthday.
I felt like it was coming up.
So I was like, oh, we can mention.
Hey, your birthday's coming out of birthday.
And I put his age on there as, I think it was at the time, I put 33 or 34.
And he was going through it.
And he was going through it.
And he mentioned his age.
I'm like, you never mentioned his age.
age. Why would you do that? It's just there for you just to know.
All of a sudden now. And then Neo goes, that's not how old I am. And then he goes,
Steve, get in here. And it was like this like three minute. Let's beat the crap out of Steve for having
you know, wrong information on his prep sheet. And he was like, no, man. He goes, I'm 37.
And I was like, dude, online. It says that he's 33, 34, whatever it is. And I went and I found
the links and I showed him. And he goes, oh, I bet that's my PR person trying to make me seem
younger than I really am. So I seem relatable to the audience. He's like, no, but I'm about
to be 40 and I was like see I'm filibustering here and trying to deflect so this is you and what I'm
getting here is that potentially scuba Steve might be 37 38 years old yes might be coming on 40 because
he just told the story about neo yes if I'm looking at context maybe I don't know I'm just telling you a
neo story and this neo story is true and it's factual and it happened and he was 33 34 but he was
actually closer to 40 that's neo all right Hillary we got nowhere is scuba still during his
weekend radio show Lisa and Illinois.
So it was a weekday.
I did it Monday through Friday, actually Monday through Saturday on I Heart 90s.
And then I stepped away for, I did it for about three months.
I loved it so much because when I was doing it and doing the show, it like took me back
to being a kid because everything we talked about on the show and all the music was things
from my childhood.
So I just like envisioned being in Orlando in 1995 when Insync is big and Britney Spears is going on.
Oh, you got to live in some nostalgia.
Yeah, it was nostalgia city.
It was so much fun.
And the audio I got from the show and using the show was very nostalgic from, like, Nickelodeon from the 90s.
And even people, like, people that I would have on through like talkbacks or whatever.
It was just they brought a lot of great things that just made me remember a really fun time for me.
And I think for the world, I feel like the 90s were pretty badass.
Yeah.
It was a really incredible time in sports and pop culture.
Listen, I was born in the 90s.
Don't have to convince me twice.
Yeah.
I'm a 90s baby through and through.
Okay.
Okay.
So, yeah, it was fun.
And we did that for a while.
And then I stepped away for a moment because I was born.
because I was trying to focus on my next adventure,
which we've talked about many freaking times.
Yeah, and here we still are.
Here we still are.
So I put, I've, yeah,
I'm moving in another direction with it.
And hopefully have some answers here the next month.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's exciting.
Yes, yeah.
Answers or something.
Exactly, yes.
Answers or something or make,
or I create my own path,
whatever that looks like.
Well, that's also cool too.
So creating your own path is fun.
So not doing it right now.
As this is airing,
I'm not doing that show anymore and not doing anything else that's solo at the moment.
Okay.
Well, we got an answer on that one.
We did.
Yeah.
Good job, Lisa.
Now it's like which ones you get to give it an answer.
When is the last time you had a clean, shaven face?
This is from Tracy in Las Vegas.
Clean shaven face.
Let me see if I can find it.
Let me go to my Instagram timeline.
If you go to Instagram, I feel like that's what it would be.
For sure the entire time you've been on the show, you've never had a.
Yeah, I've always had the beard. So that's five years for sure. And I know working with Seacrest, I had the beard around after my son was born. Oh yeah. So when my son was born in 2018, I guess there's a picture of me and Sean Mendes. And I still have. And it was a short beard. Yeah, it was like a five o'clock. Yeah, scruff. Yeah, scruff five o'clock plus that was 2018. That was June of 2018 with me and Sean? When you first went bald, was that when you didn't have a beard? Or do you feel like you had a beard pretty much your entire?
I always had some sort of like facial hair because my wife, who's my girlfriend at the time,
did not like the way I looked without any facial hair whatsoever.
Got it.
So she's like, you look like an alien, having a, having a bald head and having no facial hair.
Okay, so here's a picture of me at this lavish wedding in March of 2019.
It was a year after my son's birth, and you can see the beard's starting to grow in a little bit.
Yep.
So I think I started growing it in 2018, and it started getting thicker around 2019.
and then here's me leaving Ryan Seacrow Show
and there we go
August of 2019
Those are still smaller beards though than the one that you have now
Oh yeah yeah but this is like it's like growing then
So I always say like 2018 I started growing it growing it
2019 at the end of the year
It started getting bigger and by 2020 being here in Nashville
Then it's like okay it's full on beard in 2020
So you really never had a giant period of time
Where you were totally just clean shaven all the way around
No it would always have I always had some sort of five o'clock shadow
or like a really mini beard, like a, you know, it's like an inch or half inch off.
I mean, I have clean shaven when I was younger, obviously.
I am curious now, though, like adult you, because that's kind of like young you.
Yeah, yeah.
I am curious, adult you, what you look like was just gruff instead of your beard beard now.
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, I mean, who knows what it looks like?
I know I'm in the absolute worst shape possible, so I'm sure I got a double chin.
This is nice that it hides it for me.
Let me ask, though, because I obviously don't have a beer.
I mean, I got a little face hairs, but I don't have a beard.
Yeah, yeah.
In order to get scruff, do you have to shave it all off and then you have to let it grow back into scruff?
Or can you like shave it totally down to be scruff from the beard?
Yeah, almost like how you would shave a head.
Like if you had like longer hair and someone, you know, they buzz cut it and there's still some hair there.
It would create the same effect or would it be like?
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, the best effect is to shave it skin and then let it grow in a little bit because then you can get that real true like scruffy 5 o'clock shadow, like the OG C C Cress look or trying to think of who is someone to that.
had it, David Beckham, that look.
I mean, yeah, of course you can trim it, but the best is to go completely naked and then
let it grow a little bit.
Yeah, because then it comes in all even.
It looks good.
That's what I thought.
I just was curious of the process.
Yeah, yeah.
I never knew.
Yeah, so I usually would let it grow a little bit and then I would take the thing to it and
like trim it short and then after a while, I'd be like, okay, let me start fresh again
and then do the whole thing.
Yeah, that makes it.
But that was a long time ago of me doing that.
I think from 20, I mean, I'd say 2010 to 2015, I did versions of that.
Before 2010, there wasn't much hair there at all.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you for the beard lesson.
Yeah, I got a lot of information here.
Yeah, I get.
If I ever get a boyfriend, I'll have the knowledge.
What does he think about the country rap scene?
Robert from Bay Area, California.
The country rap scene.
I always appreciate it.
I think someone who's really good at, if you ever listen to Sirius XM, Shade 45,
which is L.O. Cool, J.
Sorry, Rock the Bell is L.O. Cool J. Station.
Shade 45 is Eminem.
So Rock the Bells,
which is L.O. Cool J's station, Channel 43, 2 Short, who's a Bay Area rapper, which Robert is Robert is Robert is Robert is definitely knows who Too Short is. He knows who Kek the Sneak is. He knows who Be Legit is. He knows who E40.
How do people come up with these names? All I'm thinking to my head. They have so many cool names in the Bay Area for the rappers.
But every region and Too Short does a great job highlighting this on his show. There's so many different like great influences and regions where their sounds are totally different. Like the Southern rap, which for the longest time was at,
Atlanta-based and that was like ludicrous and outcasts.
He had that different sound and then you had like kind of like the Midwest, which was the
Nelly, like the party sound and then New York was very like hardcore like you and.
But does like the southern rap constitute as like country rap or?
I think the country he maybe is more referring to like the hicc hop or whatever, which is kind
like I don't know.
I listen to rap music but I don't have a lot of background knowledge in rap.
So that's why I'm asking you if that like could still constitute like is there
moments where ludicrous, who you said was one of the southern ones, yeah, yeah.
Sounds a little bit like country rap, or is it all just really more rap and he's just rooted in
the South?
I think he wouldn't be country.
He'd be more just the Southern type style where it kind of can play a little twangy,
but it's not like he doesn't talk like this a little bit and rap my dad.
He's just from the South.
So his storylines and his inspiration and his and his content of this lyrics are Southern
based, whereas like the West Coast and the East Coast, which most.
mostly be the New York versus, you know, Compton,
Compton, NWA, Oakland, and the Bay Area.
Even like the Bay Area to L.A. is sort of different a sense of what it was.
And then he even got Miami rap.
He had like two live crew and that boom bap shit and all that.
Oh, sorry.
We made it 10 minutes.
Folks.
It's okay.
It's all these different textures and these different stories and the different lives.
And because they lived different lives, they have different kinds of raps and different kind of lyrics.
the hiccop or the southern hip hop maybe he's referring to more like that
Nashville Kentucky which could be more of like the up church or guys like jelly
roll before they got into the country music or like a struggle Jennings who is
wrapped or like yellow wolf who is a rapper and really good I guess I like that I
appreciate any kind of as a kid I was always like oh I'm only West Coast I love West Coast
I loved I loved all L.A based hip hop but then as I got older
I'm like, why would I ever close myself off to anything?
It's just, it's just, I love all of it.
I love all of it.
Yeah, I love rap.
I don't care what it is.
And I appreciate even, I appreciate every version of it.
Even like looking at Detroit and all that kind of stuff, I just love hip hop so much, so much because it provides so many different sounds in that one genre where I feel like other genres it is in that.
Like country is kind of just country.
And pop is, I mean, you know, some influences from the international pop or the island pop.
So maybe pop's not a good example.
But country's country.
But hip hop is so different
to matter where you go in our country.
It's got a different vibe, different sound.
So I like it.
It's not my favorite.
But I appreciate it and like it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, there you go.
The expert in Beards and Hip Hop Music, everybody.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
In 2023, former Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd
found himself at the center of a paternity scandal.
The family court hearings that followed revealed
glaring inconsistencies in her story.
This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.
You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct?
I doctored the test ones.
It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case.
I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for.
Sunlight's the greatest disinfected.
They would uncover a disturbing pattern.
Two more men who'd been through the same thing.
Greg Alesspian and Michael Marantini.
My mind was blown.
I'm Stephanie Young.
This is Love Trap.
Laura, Scottsdale Police.
As the season continues,
Laura Owens finally faces consequences.
Ladies and gentlemen,
breaking news at Maricopa County

There's two golden rules.
that any man should live by.
Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.
And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,
Oh my God, this is the same man.
A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
I thought, how could this happen to me?
The cops didn't seem to care.
So they take matters into their own hands.
I said, oh, hell no.
I vowed.
I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.

What's up, everyone?
I'm Ego Vodam.
My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman,
Saturday Night Live,
and The Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Fair.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.

Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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 fell 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.
have like a strong stance.
And then there's your body having its own program.
I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and host 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 results.
Millions 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.
Back from our break, and we don't have any more bearded and music questions.
I am so sorry, scuba.
It's all good. I'm not sorry.
Sorry, not sorry.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it's all good.
I answered them, so they got their answers.
So what do you want?
Well, Natalie, who I'm going to believe is from California.
Okay.
Wants to know if you're eventually going to leave and go back to California or Florida,
one of the coasts.
Yeah, I mean, that kind of ties into my thoughts of my future.
I mean, I don't have any plans at the moment because I'm settled into Nashville in the sense that,
you know, I found my community with the basketball team and coaching these kids.
And then my son really likes his school.
And my wife seems to be pretty much okay.
I mean, she definitely is one that misses California.
the absolute most because her family's still there.
And her family doesn't come out of her that often.
So she misses them a lot.
So she's definitely the driving force of, you know, where do we go next?
I've never really been ever, I've never been really tied to a city ever since I left my home
of Orlando.
I've never been like, well, I've got to stay somewhere forever.
That maybe, I could have been L.A. for me.
I could have stayed in L.A. forever and been okay with it, especially if I didn't
have kids.
But I guess a long-winded way to answer it is I don't know.
But I could see myself, I'm never married to anywhere.
I could see myself staying here in Nashville.
I could see myself living back in Orlando.
I could see myself in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, New York.
I was insane.
Would you move somewhere, too?
I would totally go somewhere, yeah.
Atlanta would always be somewhere I could think of myself living where it's still kind of
has that L.A. and New York and a little bit of Nashville feel.
And it's a big city and they do filming there and they have television shows and movies and
music, entertainment.
Yeah, I mean, Atlanta is kind of the new hotspot versus Los Angeles or New York.
New York.
Exactly.
Atlanta's massive.
And even Chicago.
I think Chicago is a cool city.
It's a very family-friendly city.
Okay.
I could see myself there as well, too.
It's just really cold.
Yeah, you've got some cold winters.
Yeah, and I love the beach and I love the water.
There is a massive lake there with that massive lake pushes a lot of cold air into the city.
So, you know, I guess I have never, I've never shut myself off to an opportunity.
I know there's some cities on my list that I would never want to live or I don't have any
interest in living.
I don't want to piss anyone off.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to ask, but never mind.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't mind saying I'm about, I just, it's probably obvious places, you know.
I mean, I couldn't, and not saying I couldn't see myself living some of these places.
They just don't have what I want for my career in those cities.
Would you like to live in?
That's rude.
Yeah.
What's the thing?
Trim and through it.
But I would never live there because there's nothing there for me.
I know.
I don't work for Boeing and I don't, and I don't have any family there, any ties.
What about the Coke family?
You know, they got lots of ties.
The Coca-Cola family?
No, Coke family.
K-O-C-H.
Oh, K-O-C-H. Oh, K-K-K-K-K-K.
No, it's Coke.
Oh, it's Coke?
Yeah.
What do they do?
They're, like, super wealthy.
The Koch brothers, super wealthy businessmen.
Okay, yes.
Oh, yeah, they're invested in everything, yeah.
Yes, lots and lots of things.
Okay, yeah.
They're also there.
Gotcha.
That was where they grew up Kansas, I think.
Okay, and they're still based out of there?
Actually, I say that.
I don't know if they grew up there if they just, like, raised all their families there and whatnot.
But, like, they're, I believe their headquarters is there.
Okay.
I didn't know.
Both brothers.
Okay.
And yes, for some reason, it's pronounced coke.
Okay.
That's why every Kansan has ever called them.
So if it is Kock or something else, we've always said, coke.
Okay, gotcha.
Coke family.
Yeah.
Even the news.
Okay.
Well, I think the news that they're saying it, then obviously it's research.
Well, you know, you never know, because everything I've ever said in my life is always wrong.
True.
Yeah, Italian.
I just, I don't trust myself anymore.
Was a fan of JV since 2017.
any favorite memories of him.
Felipe in New York City.
Wow, I wonder if that's Felipe Asparza.
Wait, that's a comedian.
But maybe he knows him.
He's in New York.
Wow.
This person knows J.V.
Interesting.
Yeah, he said he's been a fan of him.
So he's been listening to him.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
That's really cool.
So I would say, what was the questioning?
I just got thrown off.
Your favorite memory of him?
My favorite memory of him.
Man, I have a lot of great memories, a lot of crazy memories.
Some memories, I don't know if I should be able to, I don't know if I guess he's dead now.
So can you talk about people that?
are dead and things you did that may have not been.
That's entirely your decision.
Okay.
And whatever you are comfortable with.
Well, I was the first person to, I think, get him to smoke weed ever or the first time in a really
long time.
I think it may have been ever because him and Natasha had never smoked or she claimed
she never smoked.
And so I remember we were going to one of our events.
It was called Girls Night Out, which by the way, Girls Night Out, when you're a single guy
is the greatest event ever.
Because they can't do this anymore now because people get upset about not including all these different people.
Yeah.
So back in the day, you had these events at the Sound Factory called Girls Night Out.
And it was really cool for girls because that was our main demographic.
And it was a great way for us to, you know, look out for women who are single mothers or teachers who don't get the chance to get appreciated and do fun things or just women in general.
So we did this awesome event at the Sound Factory.
It's this huge freaking nightclub with two floors and always be live performances.
And in there, there would be women can get pampered and get their nails done, their makeup and their hair.
Free drinks, free food, activations like client-related.
Live music, like performers would be there.
I loved it.
It was always really, really cool.
And then there would be, like, a male stripper that would come there.
Some strippers, and they would strip, but, ah, it's a good time.
This is escalating very quickly.
Wild 94-9.
It was wild.
We'd be up on stage and having a good time and shouting in the crowd and DJing and bringing people on stage.
And I remember I got a lap dance one time because I was going through my divorce.
So I got a lap dance on stage.
And these girls would get slosh.
They would get so drunk.
And this is the part that I always felt bad because I guess not felt bad, but just it felt
kind of weird because these women would get drunk for four hours straight.
And then the factory, the sound factory, had to open up to the public afterwards.
So then women were getting drunk from about 7 to 11.
And then there would be men outside just waiting to get inside because all these women
had been liquored up.
and their chances are probably a little better
because these women are drunk.
And they would get in there at 11
and it was just like watching,
it was just like, boom, boom, boom, boom,
guys just like, girl, girl, girl, girl,
guy and girl, guy and girl.
This is what we referred to
in the sorority fraternity world
on freshman night after sorority week,
like rush week.
Yeah.
It was called Shark Night.
Shark night.
This is very much like Shark Night.
Yeah.
Because they're like, oh, fresh new blood,
who's here?
Oh, yeah.
Which is a horrible thing to say
and, like, looking back on my life.
I know, I know what you're feeling
by saying that.
Like the idea of it's really cool and fun and awesome women get a chance to get out.
It's totally free.
The guest list, all you do is call up and then just say your name and give us the information.
And you were in.
You were on the guest list.
So it didn't cost any money.
Any woman could show up and be there and totally invited.
It just felt a little weird that at the end of it all, it was just like, shoo, sharp time.
Open the gates.
Yeah.
And it was all, it was what it was.
And there were so many great things that happened.
But I remember at the end of one of those nights from Girls Night Out, we were done.
And JV. and I was, get the hell.
out of here, get some food or go somewhere.
And so we got in the car,
what were we doing?
Remember we were walking to the car or something?
And I always had shit on me.
So, oh, God, I'm hearing it.
That's right.
I'll have some bleeps in here.
Also, you had freaking lunchboxes podcast where there was 95,000 cuss words.
So I think we're okay.
And they were saying more than just the S word.
So I think we're fine.
And that's on the same feed.
And so I remember sitting there and him, me and Natasha, and then I think there was
somebody else, but I won't call her out because she's still alive.
And I'm sure she's fine.
to mention who she is, but you know who you are
if you're listening. And there was the four of us
were sitting there and we're smoking this pre-roll that I got
at, I think it was called
Double Tree or somewhere. I forget what it was called.
Green Station, Green Tree. I don't know.
On the mission, it was great. Got my pre-roll. We're sitting there
smoking. I'm fine. He takes
like one hit and he just starts coughing
and coughing and coughing. He can't stop coughing.
And he hasn't either, I forget
he had never smoked, which was just
so surprising me that he had never smoked
because I know he did other things. But maybe
just never smoked and just did the other things.
Or didn't have the right person.
You know, it has to be part of my experience.
Yeah, so maybe he did a long time ago and he got paranoid and never wanted to do it again
because people say, oh, I get paranoid.
But I'm like, it's just your environment and who you're with and the kind of stuff of smoke.
Yeah, it's good way that happened to me.
Yeah, okay.
You just ended up watching an infomercial for like five hours and I ate like three bags of chips.
And I was like, I never need to do that in my life.
Oh, you got a chance to check out and veg out.
That's what it can do for you.
It was mostly because they couldn't fall asleep because they didn't really know what was happening.
Okay.
All right.
It's just a weird experience.
And I was like, I think I'm.
I'm good. Yeah, I'm good. I've had my experience. He just got, he just got so lit where he couldn't
stop laughing. I got him laughing so hard. He was cracking up. He was coughing. And then he just kept
looking at me. He's like, dude, I got to get here. I think I'm going to die. He's like, I need to
get home. We were far from his house. I was like, well, let me order you an Uber. He's like, he was
trying to figure out on his phone. He couldn't figure out how to order an Uber. And his wife
is cracking up and my friend's cracking up. And I'm the only one who's like, whatever,
guys. Let me order you a freaking Uber. So I ordered him an Uber. Put him in the car. And
And I remember the next morning he was like, dude, I had never ate so much in my life.
He went home and just devoured his refrigerator, passed out.
I think he was late to work the next day.
But it was a great, awesome memory.
That was a good one.
And then this one, Felipe, right?
Yeah.
This one, Felipe and anyone listening that listened to either JV as JV by himself when I work with him or even more iconic back in the 90s, he was part of this show called the Dog House.
And the doghouse was the biggest West Coast.
radio station or radio show like ever like you could not compete with him i think the closest may
have been it's got named jack lundon on k miel that was there for a while but like the doghouse
by far was the wildest craziest like one time they're they their boss was ignoring them you know how
sometimes the boss doesn't take forever to respond on emails or whatever and he was he was not having it so
one day he put on like a headset brought a chainsaw to work and cut a hole like this was clear channel went to an
over here, cut a dog door-sized hole into his office, live on the air,
knocked it in and then poked his head in, like, here's Johnny.
And he's like, hey, man, I'm trying to get a hold of you.
I'm like, that's the kind of stuff they would do.
Like, they were wild.
They had the last Biggie interview before Biggie died.
They have a lot of iconic memories and moments that were just so big to the West Coast
scene.
But the one memory for him, the biggest one, I think, was we did this bit where he was
talking about how he's like, man, I could jump in the bay and catch one of those
runs from 18th field. Oh yes. We talked about this one. And I was like I was like I was like,
well if you can do it then let's do it. And I was like there's no way you can do it. The bay is so
freaking cold. It's going to constrict your blood. You're not going to be able to see. Well, you're
not going to be able to catch the ball and then swim across and make it out safely. And he's like,
oh, I totally can do it. And I was like, all right. Kind of like Bobby being like, I bet I could
out run the cops. And so I was like, or fight a kangaroo. And I was like, well, let me set
this up. So I was like, well, one morning, we're going to go out to the bay and do this
live and this was back when periscope was huge
and so our show was
we did this bit and after we did this bit
iHeart radio gave us their login to the periscope
and they made it a weekly feature that
the jv show was going to be live on the periscope
at 840 West Coast time which
was 1140 East Coast and so
every week we did a bit but this was our first
one that really like took off and they got like millions
of hits so went to the, went to the bay
by AT&T Field where the Giants play
we had a listener there who threw the ball
into the bay he jumps
in grabs the ball and
can barely make it to the end. And at that point, cops were called, fire department was called,
sirens are coming. He makes it to the end. Cops haven't showed up yet, but the fire department
showed up, which, okay, fire department, they can't arrest you. They're there to help you.
They got him out. He's winded. He can't do it. I have this whole thing on Periscope, and we did this whole
thing, and then I get him out of there. As soon as I hear cop sirens, I'm like, you got to get out of
here. Like, like, we did this. This is great. It made it on the radio. It's on Periscope, but we have
to get out of here. You run that way. I'm running this way. Me and Crystal are going that way.
we'll meet you back at the station
and that was the end of that story
but it was crazy was that
Did he ever get arrested or get in trouble?
He's been fine, he's been arrested
he's been through all kinds of things
for the radio show. This was in his older age
of not going crazy so for me to get him to do this
was a big deal and totally out of character
for him at this stage in his career in life
because he had gotten a ton of trouble
from being on the doghouse back in the day
which the dog house was also in New York too
so when they got in trouble in San Francisco
they got popped and they moved in New York
and did it for a couple years and got popped there
and then came back to San Francisco.
His ratings were so big they had to hire him
back at Wild.
He just kept getting fined and doing all kinds of things.
Yeah, so they bring him back,
but they were like, you can't come back
with your guy Elvis, who was his co-host.
Different Elvis from Elvis to Ram.
He's like, you can't bring Elvis back
because you two together are too bad.
So they hired just JV.
But the point of the story is
the night that he had passed away,
I didn't even know he had passed away.
I was talking to somebody,
the same person who he smoked
weed with with JV and the same person was part of this bit. I was talking to her on the phone
about her career and how things are going and we're talking about JV and I mentioned something
and she's like oh my God wow and then I won't say what I said and then that night I'm sitting
there on my laptop doing stuff for this show Bobby Bone's show working and I had that video on my
Dropbox and I don't it's just there it just lives there I don't ever do anything with it it's just
there. Kind of in the cloud. It's there if I ever want to like if I need it for something. I don't know. I just keep it. But it never, it's never in my brain. I don't ever see it visually. But the weirdest thing in the world happened. That night I'm doing prep, working on some stuff. It's late at night. And all of a sudden I get a notification about that video and that video pops up. And it basically says you need to delete it because your Dropbox is full or whatever. This video in particular. And it pops up and then somehow gets downloaded into my download folder. Like all these weird things, tech things happen. I'm like, this is so weird. And I'm like, oh, whatever. Don't even. Don't even.
we think about it and the next morning someone was like hey you okay and i'm like what he means he goes
oh jv he went missing last night and i was like what and they go that's really weird and then i was
like and then even fast forward a week later he had taken his life and jumped in the bay in that
in that very same vicinity where we did that bit so i'm just like whoa that is so wild that that
that same night that he took his life because he didn't survive like that moment he died they were
trying to find his body for weeks it's you know the pacific ocean feeds the bay and
So they're thinking, you know, a shark could have got it or he could have been swept out into the Pacific Ocean gone forever.
You know, we don't know where he is, but they did find his body near the fisherman's war two or three weeks later, I think.
But he started at that location.
So I'm like, oh my God.
Oh, my God.
Like what if he in some sort of almost like inter, you ever seen Interstellar?
Yeah.
Or Matthew McConaughey's like point.
He's like on the other side.
Yeah.
Like what if he is like sending this message and messing with my technology and my computer and popping up this video.
to show me, hey, I'm gone.
Almost like, hey, miss you, love you kind of thing.
And this is, but also clues of like, this is where I'm at in the bay where we did this
bit seven years ago.
Gosh, that's so eerie.
So eerie.
And at the moment, I'm just like, this is annoying and weird.
And I got to clear my folder, my drop box.
Oh, so stupid.
I'm trying to get to bed.
But realizing, oh, my God, that was probably JV poking from the other side sending me
this message.
Especially because you have had your moments of ghosts encounters and other life forms where
you're like, okay, this feels a little off.
Yeah.
It's very possible.
And that was super weird and off.
And I was like, wow, this is so wild.
And so I feel like that was him poking from the other side and giving me some sort of sign of
some sort about him.
But, I mean, a lot of great memories.
I could talk forever about great memories, but also some bad memories too.
No, I'm glad you shared these stuff of these.
But the bad memories are like the thick skin that I got in the sense of like it taught me
things that in this career
that are good for me where others don't
have it and I have it because I've been
through fucking the ringer
ah damn.
All right.
We've gotten four beeps here.
So Filippe, I appreciate that and thank you for listening
to the doghouse.
If you were that OG or the JV
show, Mild 949. That means a lot to me
because that show was by far
the show that changed my life forever
as far as my career
and pushing me in different boundaries
and I learned so much from working
not only with JV but with Rico
who was a part of that show because Rico is
freaking another OG that is just
unbelievable what he has
done in this career.
Like his father worked for Piolean which is like
the old school
Latin, like the Sequest
or Rick Deegs back in the day for Latin music
or Latin radio. And then
even like my PDs I worked with like Kat Collins
and Mark Adams and Travis and all those people.
It was a great, it was a cool time
in my career in San Francisco.
I love that. Well, I'm glad he asked that question. And I want it to end on that. I don't feel like I can ask you another question and follow up with that. And there'll be like this whole thing. So we're ending on that. Okay, cool. Okay, cool. We'll have the other questions. We'll have the other questions. We'll have the other question. We can geek out on them. It'll be great. All right. Cool, go. Scuba. Thanks for being here.
Thank you for having me. I appreciate it.
Thank you for answering questions. Yes. From all the people across the world. Yes. And Felipe from New York.
He really loved that question.
