02:39Part one.Behind the scenes with a member of the show.Happy weekend, everybody.Welcome to The Best Bits.Mike D. is joining me.Hey, Mike D.How's it going?I forgot what to say in that instance.
02:52Words are hard sometimes.It's okay.Well, it is a Saturday, and we're here hanging out and catching up on all things life.But Mike, you haven't been on since you went to the Super Bowl.And I know obviously Super Bowl's passed, but I need, like, details.That was the most wild experience I've ever had.Never been to a Super Bowl.I haven't even been to that many NFL games, really.
03:13I think that's, like, my third NFL game of, like, all the time.Maybe fourth, I guess my fourth.You're never going to be able to go to a regular NFL game again.No, and it was wild.And I know at this point, you've all heard what happened in the Super Bowl.But I think just being there and the energy was something I wasn't expecting,because even though it was a blowout, it was so entertaining to be there.There was like a vibe and an energy in the room.
03:36And we were like up high.But even being up high, we had like the perfect view.Seeing the behind the scenes of the halftime show was awesome.How quickly they put that stage together and how quickly they tear it apart.Even though we couldn't really hear it from our perspective.But I think just being in the city of New Orleans during a Super Bowl was crazy.Because I'd never seen a city with so much security before.you'd walk down the street and there were cops everywhere.
04:04I'd go to Starbucks and there'd be like five cops there getting a coffee.Anywhere you went, there was heavy just police activity.Which I suppose is a good thing.Yeah, choppers flying by.So in a way, it made me feel more secure, but also kind of like,is something going to happen here?Because it was like, it was intense.They had like streets blocked off with like these little like pop-up, almost like military checkpoints.
04:27It kind of reminded me when I'd go to Mexico and there'd be like people like armed guards.standing in the road making sure you were safe.But wild experience, I think the coolest part for me was all the things we got to do leading up to it.All of the interviews and stuff like that.Yeah, we got to see, like, I love spotting celebrity.That is my favorite hobby.And I can spot some obscure celebrities.So being there, we went to two days of radio row, which is where all these radio shows and podcasts get set up and just people come through the whole time getting interviewed.
05:00I was just like focusing on work, but also like looking who was walking around me and trying to like snap pictures of people.Like I could send to people like, hey, check out who's here.Who was the big like top five you saw at the radio row and at maybe at the Super Bowl too?Oh, I could do it like my whole week.Okay, do it.Break it down for us.I'll just go.I won't rank these because I'm going to forget all these.
05:21I'd say the one that caught me the most off guard is I saw the Costco guys from TikTok.Oh, it's like Costco guys commercial.And then I was like, oh.Yeah, the dad and his son, and they were in like a cameo cyber truck getting dropped off to their hotel because I would just walk around.Like after we were done for the day, I would just go walk around because I was trying to spot celebrities.Yeah.Because I knew like Blink 132 was in town.I was like, if I could spot them out somewhere, I would love to just run into them.
05:48That would be cool, but no Blink 182?No.Okay.So that was when I was just walking around and I see this just flashy cyber truck pulling up to this hotel.and this hotel was like where all the celebrities were staying because it was like right downtown and there were just a line of just black cars SUVs dropping people off and out of everybody I was excited to see I saw the Costco guys get out and I was like that's them they bring the boom did you say hi to him or anythingno because I think it was kind of weird for me like I knew they were famous but then also he's like a kid he's like an eight year old and I'm like that's kind of weird and it's like a whole family and I was like it was cool in the moment I told people peopleabout it, but that was the one that I was like, who gets excited about the Costco guys?Well, it's also like Bobby always says it, famous relative, and you find the people that you
06:37love and who you're going to be excited about, and you learned one of yours that kind of caughtyou off guard.You're like, I didn't expect that.That was one, another one random on the street.I saw Dave Portnoy, who was like the head of barstool.Yeah.I started seeing, like, I was walking to dinner, and I saw like two or three dudes withbarstow hats, and I was like, yeah, big barstow fans.
06:57And then I see this other guy walking with two security guards next to him.I was like, oh, that's Dave Portnoy.And he was just walking around.And I think that was kind of the vibe of seeing celebrities as everything is going on.Wait, I have a question.Did he have Miss Peaches with him?No, it was just him.Dang it.
07:15I would, like, listen, cool, Dave Portnoy.You're awesome.But like, if he had Miss Feaches, I would have freaked out.No, it was just him.Oh, bummer.Makes sense, though, because I don't think Miss Peaches could have gone to the Super Bowl.It was wild to see him with, like, that much.security because he, I mean, he's famous. I feel like he's a type of person who a lot of people
07:33would come up to and bombard and also possibly try to fight him. Yeah, because he's kind of controversialin a way. Like, he loves to share his opinions. And when you share opinions, you're obviouslylike going to have both sides because I've seen a bunch of his posts before. And there's alwayspeople in the comments and stuff just going at him or then you have people supporting him. So maybethat's why. And he does. I mean, he's got a massive following. Barstallsports is huge.Yeah.So that was cool.
08:01That was random.Yeah.I'd say the next one would probably be Emmett Smith, which we interviewed him the day of.But that night I went to the Post Malone Bud Light Show, which was cool for me because that was like the first time I saw Post Malone was at a Bud Light show, which is always like a smaller venue.I think this venue only held like 3,000 people.That man loves his Bud Light.Yeah.Like the lifetime partner.
08:25So he's, yeah, he's all Bud Light.And then I was in the crowd and they had like this VIP section next to the stage where all these people were.There was like a lot of people who had been there for the Super Bowl.And I just see Emmett Smith there with a liquid death water in one hand and like a beer cup in the other hand.And he's just having the best time like singing along knows every word to every post Malone song.And then everybody around us just starts to notice that that's Emmett Smith over there having the best time.So you just see people start yelling justAnd then he's going off
09:01So I was like I got to film thisAnd I filmed him singingAnd that was just cool because I meanThat was all my worlds coming togetherThat was me at a post Malone showI'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fanSo there's one of the greatest Dallas Cowboys of all timeSinging in a Post Malone song
09:18I'm like I couldn't even like think of thisWhen I was a kid like how is this even going to happenNow is Emmett Smith known forbeing like that or was that kind of out of character for him?I mean, he's a pretty, I'd say he's a pretty out there guy.Okay, like pretty outgoing, fun.Yeah, he's a fun guy.Like, he did dancing with the star, so he's pretty extroverted.
09:38Okay.But I think it's just weird seeing him, like, anybody in that, like, have that good of a time.Like, aside from, like, Taylor Swift at an award show, I don't really see celebrities, like,enjoying themselves at a concert.It's so true.It's fun.Or somewhere else where they're, like, too cool and they're, like, not even paying attention.He was actually just, like, having fun like everybody else.
09:59Yeah, he just was there.He was there for the party.He didn't care that he was Emmett Smith.He was like, I'm here to party.Was that also a cool experience for you seeing Post Malone twice and a 24-hour span?Twice and for free.Yeah.Yeah.
10:11And in pretty intimate settings, like, that was a smaller venue.I was further back because it took us forever to get into the show.I waited in line for an hour.Did you go to the first one by yourself?I went with Reed, our video guy.and then he left like halfway through the show to go meet up with the other guys.So I'm like, I'm not going to leave and I have no problem being at a concert by myself.Yeah, I figured.
10:32So after a while it was just me.But when we got there, there was a line to get in.And the line I thought to get in was actually the VIP line.So the line we had to go in was general admission.And we kept walking and walking.And I'm like, surely the lines get it.And it was so long that I was like, there's no way this is the line.And we just kept going further and further back and we're there for an hour.
10:54Dang.Luckily, we made friends with the guys behind us.Yeah.And it was kind of like a fun bonding experience, but I've never waited in line for an hour before.Mike, look at you making friends.Yeah.That's kind of a little update.Obviously, I know, like, you know, fun, short-term friends.
11:09It wasn't like long-term friends.But are you proud of yourself or what?It was a guy and his brother.A dude was a lawyer.His brother was like there for a minute and then went to go get a drink.So mainly talked to his brother for the most part.But there was like a bonding experience.of us both liking post Malone.
11:27He was like, I think I kind of blew his mind in a way because it was a weird part.Like I don't get recognized a whole lot.But there was a moment I got recognized in line and like somebody came to talk to me and theytook a picture with me.And then the whole time, I'd already been talking to this guy for 30 minutes.He's like, wait a minute.What exactly is happening here?That's a weird moment for me because when I get recognized and have to explain it to somebody
11:53else. I'm like, I'm not famous. Like, this is a very, like, rare occurrence. And it's so, like,it's hard to explain exactly that situation. It's hard to explain to people you know, letalone people you don't really know. So, like, when, I feel like when you're out and aboutand you're with your friends and family and stuff, they're kind of like, okay, well, we know youand we know what you do. Yeah. It's so weird that it's happening. But when it's people you don'teven know, then they're like, wait, did I miss something? Am I, like, missing a piece of this?And it's funny to kind of watch the reaction.Is that what kind of happened?
12:27That's exactly what happened.And then he was just like asking you about that.And he's like, wow, this is weird.He's like, why are you waiting in line?I'm like, that's why.Like, what I do gets me in this line.But it doesn't give me to the front of this line.Like I'm not famous like that by any means.
12:41Okay.So we made friends.Yeah.We saw a post Malone twice in 48 hours.You were in the Super Bowl.Lots of famous people.Any other famous people?I would say,
12:51famous for me, I saw the workaholics guysOkayAs a Comedy Central show that I really love growing upI think I know who it is, but keep talkingAnd they were bothThey have like a show podcast tooAnd they were working next to usOh yeah, no all like especially two of them
13:11Is that kind of looks like weird outIs that not weird outThat kind of looks like himThat's Blake AndersonThat's who I got a selfie with before we leftLike I didn't take many pictures while we were therebecause we were working.But that was like the last day we were leaving.
13:22He was leaving at the same time.And I was like, hey man, can I get a selfie with you?It's like, yeah, man.He was very chill.He seemed super chill.And then the other two, Adam Devine and Anders Holmerare in a whole bunch of movies.Yeah, Adam Devine is probably the most famous out of all them.
13:38Like he was getting recognized the most people yelling at him.They were also all at the post Malone show and he got recognized too.And they were yelling at him.Okay.That's cool.It was just like a celebrity week.Are you just like high on life?Yeah, I just love spotting celebrities.
13:53And the last one was I saw Keegan Michael Key from Key and Peel.Oh, yeah.Okay.I'm looking about just to put a face to the name.And I just saw him walking around and I was like, oh, that's key from key and peel.Oh, my gosh, yeah.It's so funny because, like, you say their names and you're like, there's no way I know, like,who these people are.
14:11And then you look them up.You're like, I've seen them in so much stuff.Yeah.Yeah, he's been in a lot, too.He's a major actor.A big voice actor, too.any animated movie comes out, he's in it.And he's funny.
14:22Was he, like, really outgoing in person, or would you see more chill?When I saw him, he was, like, going to the bathroom.Okay.So I was like, I can't judge him on that.That's awesome.So many stories to share.And, yeah, you're never going to be able to top that for an NFL game.Unless maybe the, you know, the Dallas Cowboys are in the Super Bowl and you go.
14:40That would be the only difference.And after going to a Super Bowl, I have to imagine how nerve-wracking it is for your team to be in it,because it was a low-pressure game for me because I didn't really care.Being a Cowboys fan, I'm not an Eagles fan,but I almost enjoyed their fans there more than the cheese fansbecause there was like a, when we were there,there were 70% Eagles fans.It felt like a Philly home game when you were in there.
15:07And I kind of respected that a little bit,even though now it sucks that they're in our division,and it's like, it's a Super Bowl champs.But in that moment, I was like, this is cool.Like, to see them cheering and, like, being so passionate,it like I could respect that okay which was better Super Bowl this one or the Dallas Cowboyswhere you went with the whole Jerry Jones you were there at the stadium that whole situationyeah nothing is going to top the Dallas Cowboys Day that is the best like that is something
15:34that can never be replicated like I could go to another Super Bowl and pay a massive amountof money to get in but that day cannot happen like that again like flying to the game inJerry Jones helicopter.Like that's not going to happen again.That's so true.I wonder, though, because listen, those are like two top-tier events.I don't know how you choose, but I'm also not a, like, you're a diehard Dallas Cowboysfan, Diehard, Texas Longhorn fan.
15:59I like K-State.You know, I'm not like the end of the world for them.So it's a different probably perspective for you.That's why I was so curious between the two.Yeah, my top three sporting events, number one will always be that Dallas Cowboys gamewhere we went because we also got to.interview Jerry Jones before the game, got out on the field, and then we won the game.So it was like everything went right.
16:22That could never happen again.Like we could go again and we could lose.But that was perfect.Number two is this Super Bowl we just went to.And then I think number three would be probably the last Texas Longhorns game I went tobecause we also got to go down on the field.And my wife got to be a part of that.And that's like the one time, like, she gets to experience the cool part of like my job and my
16:42connections.She's like, okay, this is cool now.Just that one time, though.Yeah.Like all this other time when you're all stressed out and working too much, that's not cool.But that, that's cool.This one-off six-hour moment.Okay, we're going to take a quick break and come back.
16:57And speaking of your wife, we're going to talk about some life updates.Yeah.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 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
17:26and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resiliencerests 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 IHeartRadio app,Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity,the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about,
18:03and they are experts at everything.Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show,we're not afraid to make mistakes.What Cougler did that I think was so unique.He's the writer-director.Who do you think he is?I don't know.You meet the, like, the president?
18:18You think Canada has a president?You think China has a president,the law crusette.God, I love that thing.I use it all the time.I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night.It's like the old Polish saying,not my monkeys, not my circus.
18:36Yep.It was a good one.I like that saying.It is an actual Polish saying.Yeah.It is an actual thing.Better version of Play Stupid Games,win stupid prizes.
18:44Yes.Which, by the way,wasn't Taylor Swift,who said that for the first time.I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong.Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.Hi, I'm Bob Pittman, chairman and CEO of IHard Media, and I'm kicking off a brand new season of my podcast, Math and Magic, stories from the Frontiers of Marketing.Math and Magic takes you behind the scenes of the biggest businesses and industries while sharing insights from the smartest minds in marketing.

20:35I understand the game.As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this.At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment.To hear this and more, listen to Reality with the King on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts,or wherever you get your podcast.All right, Mike, talk to me about life.How are things going?What's happening with you?
20:59I'm having a big decision with my teeth right now.Okay.I am at the stage where braces could have come off by now.And the plan was for me to get a dental implant.And the whole reason it's taken so long is because we've been trying to make space on a side of mymouth that has two gaps. Whenever they first took out my teeth, they took out my wisdom teethand they took out some other teeth that were like cramped in there. And we've been trying to makespace to put an implant in. And then I went to another specialist to get like a consultation for it.
21:37And it freaked me out. Why? What happened? Because I initially thought it was a two-step processwhere they essentially put in like this holder into your mouth,that takes a while to heal from.And then they actually screw in the implant.Okay.And then I went to the specialist and they told me that,I guess since those other teeth had been out so long,that the bone had like evaporated or diminished or something,
22:06and I would have to do a bone graft to kind of repair that.and the entire process with everything was going to take like 18 months.But that bone graft sounded gnarly.So when you say bone graph,are they like basically in a way rebuilding the bone?Yeah,because I guess there's like some bone above your teethwhere if you were getting an implant,
22:31they would be able to, I guess, drill intoto put the little like, I don't know exactly what it's called,but essentially is like this holder thingthat they can screw the implant into.but since I've had that missing tooth for so long, that is kind of not there anymore.So they need that foundation to put it into.So it's kind of like just gum right now.Yeah.
22:50And that sounds like the worst process out of all of them because I would be down recovering for about two weeks post that.Meaning like couldn't eat probably hard foods.You had to like eat certain foods.You had like pain in your mouth.A lot of pain probably couldn't speak very well.And I mean, in the two weeks, it's like generous.I feel like it could be longer.And there's not a guarantee that once I get that done, that it's going to take.
23:22So they could put it in there and then be like, well, we actually can't even get the next part we need into.So.How big of a possibility that it does work?I think it was more on the side that it would work.but they didn't really tell me so much about what happens if it doesn't.Got it.So that part seemed like the most daunting to me.And understandable too, because nobody even likes going for a dental cleaning.
23:53And that's nothing against like dentists and dentists themselves.I have no problem with the actual like process.Like once I'm there of them digging and prime.Like I don't have, I'm not freaked out by the dentist.It wasn't that.I think for me it's the recovery part of like how long it's going to put me downand how much it's going to affectlike my day to day life for that long.
24:11Yeah.And I know there's like this big,bigger picture you look atof like,yeah,you're in discomfort for this amount of time.It takes over a year to do,but it's like the lifelong benefits of it.
24:22So I tried to outweigh thatbecause a lot of times whenever I get faced withsomebody telling me something like that,my immediate reaction is like,I don't want to do it.And I kind of recognize that in knowing like,okay,this might be me shutting down,
24:34being freaked out by something new.let me give myself a second to think about it.And I did think about it for a week before I had my following orthodontist appointment.And I was like, I just don't think that's the step I want to take.And I even asked them in that first consultation of like, is this going to affect at all like any health thing?Like if me not putting a tooth in is it like, is it going to affect me in like a negative way?And pretty much he said that it's just like a cosmetic thing.Yeah.
25:04Like it's not going to affect the way that I eat.or speak by not having that,it's more cosmetic than anything.And I think that was my main concern of like,if it's not going to affect like my teeth down the line of not having one,then I don't,it's not the biggest deal to me.But luckily, after that,
25:20I went back to my orthodontist and we kind of developed a new plan with my current dentistof instead of doing the implant,I'm going to get a bridge,which I hadn't heard about.Okay.Which sounds, it's a lot less invasive.Essentially, I could get it done in about,two appointments where they, so I have the missing tooth and what they do is they file down
25:42the two teeth around it.And then they put essentially, it is like this bridge thing that it's like two almost like,they look like little teeth caps and they put under one, put it under the other one.And then the fake tooth goes in the middle of that.Interesting.And where does the bridge sit like on the roof of your mouth kind of?It's just like on the teeth.Yeah.
26:01So they file down the teeth and put it like right over it.So it's almost like.I guess to put it like in where you could kind of see it,like kind of like if you're putting dentures on,but it's on there permanently.So it wouldn't fall out easily.No,it's like in there.
26:15Once it's in there,they told me it would last.If I take care of it 10 years.And then you just have to get a new one?Yeah.He said essentially it's not that it's 10 years and done.It's that's like the shelf life they put on it.Like if you Google it,
26:29it'll last 10 years.But if you are good about flossing and cleaning it,it can last you a lot longer.It's kind of like veneers.Because veneers, I think, if you Google that, they last like 10 years before you have to get them replaced.So it's kind of that same thing of like when you would get like a molar put in or something.So that sounded a lot better to me.And I think the reason that some people choose one or the other is because some people don't like the idea of having like their teeth filed down.
26:57Which I think they had to file it down like a millimeter, which I don't have a big deal to me.Yeah.So I was like, that just sounds like a lot easier to do.and a lot easier to recover from.Yeah.And I think overall I'm like, that's, yeah, if it's not going to really affect my mouth health,then I think that's the way I'm going to go.Yeah.
27:18And it gives you the bigger picture long term, right?What you wanted out of all of this was you wanted to have like the smile that you loved.And it gives you that because you already have most of it.This is the last missing piece.So it will still give you the thing that you want without doing a pretty invasive surgerythat may not end up working.So I feel like you feel good about that answerbased on just talking it out.
27:42Oh yeah, because the other thing was apparently the space,like they're trying to like create some symmetryof like my left tooth and my right side tooth.And the tooth on my left side would not match the implantthey would put on my right side because the space isn't as big.So they're like it won't look completely rightbecause I think it's like maybe two millimeters smaller.Or that's even weirder.
28:07If I get another two, then it's like not the same size, which I don't care that much about.But that's also why I had to keep the braces on a little bit longer to make a little bit more space for even what the bridges are going to put in.Yeah.So like those are little details.Also when you speak to orthodontists and dentists, they're perfectionists, which that's their job.Like they're going to want it to look like as pristine as possible, as lined up as can be.And I think for me coming from having as crooked of teeth.that I did have, I've already come like where I want to be.
28:40And I'm like, I don't need it to be perfect.There are imperfections in the teeth that are going to be there.I'm not looking for like a million dollar smile.I just want to feel more comfortable.Yeah.And I feel like you're in a place with that.And I think this answer will give you that without making you uncomfortable in the long term.Because you could end up doing it, to your point, you could end up doing it.
29:02They could put the random tooth in there.And then you're like, what have a lot of?I done. You know, and you don't want to be in that position either.Yeah, going that far and being like, this is stuck in there.Yeah, you're like, I can't take that back. Yeah, I just feel like at one, at some point in thatprocess, I would regret it and it would be too much because you could take 18 months andthere's three times that I would have to be put under for an hour. Yeah, that's a lot.For a cosmetic thing. It just seemed like, like, I'm not in, like, I don't think I need to do that
29:33to myself. No, and honestly, your teeth look great.Great, Mike.Like, you, we always notice our imperfections so much more emphasized than everybody else.And until you ever talk to me about this, I never would have noticed personally.But maybe that's also because you haven't been comfortable enough to smile.I, you know, I don't know how much you smile in pictures.Do you soft smile more than you regular smile?I think in the last maybe year or so, I've smiled more with, like, full teeth just because they are the straightest they've ever been.
30:04and I think it has been that one side that I noticed where I am missing that tooth that I try to likenot angle myself towards that and when I do I'm like I post on that one yeah and even like when mywife and I take pictures I'm like you'd be on this side it's understandable but you know everybody alsohas a good left or right side so that's a lifelong thing too yeah so that's yeah I think everybodyhas that to some extent well I'm happy you have answers I'm sad for youthat you kind of had to make a hard decisionbecause honestly if there'sespecially anything I've learned in the past month
30:40with all of my vertigo stuff likehealth stuff sucks and when they comeat you and give you like these are youroptions and none of the options aresuper great or what youwanted to hear. Yeah.You just, it hurts everythingin you be especially something that like
30:56whether you're going to be faced with it for the rest of your lifewhether you're something thatyou're not getting answers in the way thatyou really planned for for the way that your lifelifestyle is, however it may go, that's frustrating. That's a frustrating experience and you can't do much about it.You feel very out of body, out of control, and you just have to like kind of prepare yourself for the best case scenario that you feel comfortable with.And that's not fun. Like being an adult sucks. You know what I mean? And this is one of those moments for you.but you sound happy about it, at least what you came with your dentist versus the other option.
31:36Yeah, I feel good now that there's a plan.I guess there's not like a full timeline when it's all going to happen.But now that I know it's not going to be another 18 months of that, I feel a lot better about it.Good.I'm glad.I'm happy for you.I can't wait to see the finished product after all this happens.I bet you're not even going to be able to tell.
31:57That would be my guess.Yeah, I think so.Like, the more I look at it, I don't feel it's as noticeable to other people.And like the way like my teeth sit and everything they've been trying to fix, I think by the end of it, it's going to be good.Just remember, I told you though, when you take off your braces for the first time after so long, you may feel a little traumatized.Well, I did have them all for like a month in between like my old ones and my new ones.And that was wild.I just kept like feeling my teeth and my tongue.
32:24I'm like, this feels weird.Uh-huh.It's like you have to get used to a new.person almost because you're so used to having this kind of fixed your accessory and thenyou take it away you're like who am I it's like if somebody wears glasses all the time and allthe sudden they stop wearing glasses it's a different person and there's also like things thathaven't been able to eat like I can't eat like there's a lot of like crunchy foods I can'teat has that always been the case or just right now no like the whole time I've had them is because
32:51if I if I bite into something crunchy it could pop a bracket so there's a lot of foods that I've nothead and I'm waiting like I can't eat any kind of almonds or cashews which I love oh my deal I'm pretty sure when Ihad versus I ate all that stuff really I'm pretty positive I did not listen very well you're you're doinggreat you're you're abiding by the rules I don't think I did I'm an adult I like I'm following all therules because I don't want to miss anything up or delay it any longer I was going to say I was in highschool so you know I was just like you don't care as much the rules don't apply to you the wild part iswith adult braces whenever last time I called to make my appointment to see that specialist they thoughtwas a teenager.
33:29No.They were asking methese questions.They were like,yeah, you could probablyask your parentsand check with your insurance.I'm like,
33:35I think I have that with my job,not with my parents.They're like,oh,date of birth?I was like,they're like,oh, okay.
33:41They probably should haveasked the day of birthfirst to know what they were doing with.I think that is a frustratingpart with any kind ofcalling a medical office,which I know they're just doing their job.Is it feels so impersonal at times
33:52that they're just like trying to like get you.And I'm like,man,I'm a human here.It is.is, dude, Mike, I, I feel that on such a level, though.I have a lot of health stuff going on right now, and I'm trying to get a lot of stuffestablished, like, with the primary care, which I haven't had one.
34:09I know that's not great, but I've had horrible experiences with, like, primary care doctorswho, like, all they want to do is, like, send you to tests, and you pay, like, $1,500 out of pocket.You're like, what was that for?What am I doing?And so I never had one.And now with all the health stuff that I'm having, I've had to get, like, establishedbecause I'm trying to get sent to day.different specialists and see things. I had a full-blum minty B yesterday, Mike. I broke down for a solid
34:3620 minutes where I was like, I am alone. I have zero help. I have to figure this out. There is nolike, there's nobody I can fall on to fix this. I just have to figure this out. And it was likeeverywhere I turned, I was just hitting walls and I wasn't getting answers that I needed.and I full on, like just full on was like, I'm done, you know, I'm really don't want to be an adult right now.I would like to do none of this anymore.And I, like, freaked out.And it's because they make it so difficult.Mental, all of the different structures of medical, they make it so difficult to get the help that you need.
35:14And I know that's not like any of the doctors or side.It's like the insurance and the red tape.Oh, yeah, the insurance stuff is the worst.Oh, it's horrible.And I don't understand it.You could give me a whole list and I'm still confused by it.I'm like, what does that mean?So this is a network, but it doesn't work.
35:29What?What does that make sense to me?And then we have an insurance that even isn't in our state.So how does that work?It's just all those kind of things.So I had that full-blown adult breakdown.And then on top of that, my house is also falling apart.Falling apart.
35:46Well, my car, we learned my car died, right?I had to replace the battery.My Wi-Fi stopped working.had to replace my whole Wi-Fi system.Last night, 3 o'clock in the morning, my smoke alarm starts going off.I'm like, what the?Are you kidding me right now?Wouldn't stop beeping?
36:01I replaced it.I'm up on a ladder.Still dizzy.And this is not good for anybody.And I'm like, okay, I'm going to pass out.And nobody's going to find me for like three days.And I'm up here trying to change it.The battery, it still won't stop beeping.
36:15So I'm pretty sure I need to replace the whole smoke system, whatever.I literally ended up like turning off half my breaker last night.I was like, I'm going to bed.I'm not dealing with this right now.That's my life this week.How do you deal with a mental breakdown?Because I've been there.Like when you feel so overwhelmed, life is just kind of like piling up on you.
36:35What has been your like go-to?Like I just need to take a break or reset.I kind of just have to force myself to sit in it honestly.That's like my first step.I just have to allow myself to feel whatever's happening.Because if I don't, it's just going to flood out in different.ways or I'm going to take it out on somebody and that's not fair to anybody else. Like, I could takeit out on the poor UPS guy that comes to my house. You know what I mean? So I'll sit with it for
37:00however long I need to. Like yesterday after it happened, I sat on my couch for just like two hoursand like, my unless scrolled. I couldn't focus on anything else. I wasn't even trying to touchmy work. So I'm just going to, this is not going to end up well as far as me doing the best workthat I can do. So I literally just sat there for for two hours and then I had another appointment andI was like, okay, deep breath.We just have to do this appointment and we'll come back and take another break.And just as much as I need to, I take breaks until I finally feel like I've caught my breath.Because the mental breakdown feels like is where you, like, the breath gets taken from you in a way.
37:40And so I have to do things that will like help me catch my breath, but I have to do it intermittently.It's not like I can do it all again at once.I have to do a little bit at a time and I'll take another break.a little bit of the time.But then it like set me back because, you know, I didn't go to bed until like 1 a.m.last night because I was taking so many breaks because my brain couldn't comprehend all thestuff that was happening.So it was like that helps.
38:05And then now today after I plan to like go for a long walk, try and reset in that way.Walks are good.Yeah, walks help.And I'd love to go work out.That's always typically my way, but I can't work out.I haven't been able to work out for a month, which is also not helping my mental orphysical health. So normally I would go for a walk and then I'd go work out and I'd have like areally good reset. But I can't do that right now. So typically, how do you handle a mental breakdown?
38:33I'd say like full on mental breakdown. Like I've had panic attacks before. Breathing always helps.As basic as it sounds just like breathe, take a minute, whatever you're worrying about.Just try not to think about it for a few minutes and just breathe. I think that always helps.I can't run when I'm having a mental breakdownbecause I'm full on likeabout a losing modeSo that's why I'll walkLike if I'm walking
38:56Like that means like it'sBecause like running is how I likeKeep my mental health in checkAnd like I take a break from everythingThat's like just normalBut if I'm having a mental breakdownI can't runBecause if I go run I'm like
39:09I'll like start cryingYeahI'm at that pointSo I'll like if I'm walkingThat means I'm going through itAnd then a hot showeris like my go-to saving right now.Like some,
39:20maybe because it's been like cold lately,but if you get in the shower,it's like super hot,like steamy,I feel like that kind of resets me.It's almost like,to me, like taking an Advil.Like if I have like a,
39:32like I feel mental breakdownsor even like when I get likeinto a depressive state,I get like this weird headachewhere it feels like there's somethinglike just over my headwhere it's not like a real headache.Like I need to take some kind of medication
39:46but I feel that in that moment I'll get in the shower and it kind of like lifts it away a little bit.So that's like my my natural Advil to go take a hot shower.That's good. Listen, I do love a good cry in the shower.Do you ever cry in the shower?No, I've never cried in the shower.You never had like your movie moment when you just sit there and you're like, I'm in a movie.I'm crying.Not recently, maybe sometime, but I can't recall a time like crying in the shower.
40:11I feel like that's my happy place.Like I don't like nothing can affect you in the shower because there's nothing there.There's no technology.Time doesn't exist there.So I don't really want to associate crying in the shower.That's fair.You shouldn't take away your happy place and change it with something else.But I will tell you a good cry in the shower is very, it's like cleansing.
40:32It's almost like you feel like the cry didn't happen because you went in and cried and it got washed away.I used to like a beer in the shower.Is that the same thing?We can roll with that.I think a beer shower is great.Different experiences.But yeah, I think it's also great.It also doesn't count.
40:47You know, beer in the shower.It's cleaned away from the body.You spill any, it just goes down.A beer tastes better in the shower.It does.You're not wrong.Okay, we're going to take one more quick break,and we'll be right back to talk about some more fun kind of random topics.
41:00You 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.

45:09I'll let you like think on something.I have mine.You have it?Yeah.Okay, roll with it.Mine was signs.I saw it in theaters.It's the M. Night Shyamalan Alien movie.
45:18Yeah. And the scene whenever the alien first appears on screen and walks across traumatized me. That was one of the scariest moments I've ever experienced in theaters.Okay, because it was an alien or? Because of all the tension leading up to it, that movie doesn't show the aliens that much. It builds up the suspense in your mind. And again, this was like early 2000s. And there was just this moment where the entire theater gasped because it's the first time you get a glimpse of the alien. It's on this.like shaky found footage and then you just see it walk across. If you watch it now, you're like,man, those graphics look a little suspect. But at the time, that was the most terrifying thingthat freaked me out for so long. And I remember leaving the theater that day. I was with like mycousins and my brother. And I had to ride in the back of a truck to get back. And I was just terrified.And that stayed with me forever. And that scene still freaks me out. Oh, yeah. That's a really good one.I don't even know that I can recall that movie.
46:18Most of the scary movies that everybody made me watch when I was younger, I've definitelyblocked out in my brain.I'm not a horror movie person.I'm too traumatized.I am a baby.I am a horror movie person.I've been chasing that same feeling ever since.You went like opposite direction.
46:33I went like, I'm going to hide in a hole.I'm like, I got to get that jump scare moment again.But yeah, it still traumatizes me.Okay.The one for mine is from Final Destination 3.Did you watch that movie?Yeah, I've seen most of them. I think they're making another one.Oh, God. Yeah, I'll never touch those again. I'm pretty sure Final Destination 3 is the only one I saw. I never saw any of the one, two, or anything after. But there's a tanning bed scene, and she dies in the tanning bed. And at the time of this movie coming out, I was going in tanning beds all the time. That was like the cool thing to do. And obviously, you know, horrible. Never do that. It's bad for you. But at the time I was, and I remember this movie happening. And that was like what cured me from.
47:15going to tanning beds.I stopped going because I was like, you can die in these things.And of course, it's like the most exaggerated, like most extreme scenario, but it's stilla possibility.And as soon as I saw it on a screen, no chance.So I have not touched a tanning bed since that movie came out.I have another one from Final Destination.I don't know if it's the same movie, but it's whenever there's a, like a semi in front of it.
47:40No, yes.I know what you're talking about.Go ahead.And the log like comes through and kills him.Like every time I'm on the highway, and it doesn't even have to be like a semi like that,but anything hauling something that I feel could fall off, I'm like, I'm getting out of this lane.I'm the same exact way.I reference that scene every time because I'm like, isn't happening to me?
47:57It's true.Not even just the logs, like to your point, like anything when it's hauling, but especially if I ever see anything just like cylinder.Like the log, like if it's metal, if it's pipes, anything of that nature, I'm out.I'm not in that lane because of that movie.I had, I did have like kind of a freak out moment when we had our snow.You know how people get the snow on top of their car and they don't like wipe it off?The ice missiles.Yeah, it one hit me.
48:21I panicked.Like, you should have seen me swerve.Like, I didn't know what to do.It was like an out of body experience.It hit me and I was like, Mario Car like, true.And I tried to swerve.Obviously, I didn't because I didn't know where it was coming from.It was terrifying.
48:34I'm really thankful that it didn't do any damage to like my windshield or worse.But those things are scary.Like, why don't people get rid of those?I guess too lazy to dust off the carI mean I get itIt's freezing out like the whole thingBut manOnce you've seen or experienced one of those
48:52As you call ice missilesI will never like make sure my carHas snow is gone from anythingThat was traumatizingYeah you gotta dust them offIt was so very final destination momentThat I also did not realizeWas gonna be connected to that
49:05Okay what is the biggest lieThat you believed because of a TV showHmmGood questionAnd I can gofirst. Yeah, let me think about it. So for, and it could be a movie too, not just, not just a TVshow, but the thing that inspired this and I hadn't really thought of it was there was a meme andit was like, friends taught me that like people go and have breakfast before work all the time.
49:30And that's not true at all. Totally true. Like I have never known anybody in my life who hasbreakfast before they go to work with their friends unless they actually all live together orsomething. So huge lie. That's what inspired this. But I actually thought flying monkeysexisted because of Wizard of Oz for a very long time.That it was a real creature?Yep.And the best part was like, I even played a flying monkey in like a play of Wizard of Oz.I thought they were real.
49:54I thought these things were real for decades.I think it was in my like middle 20s where I finally realized I, that, okay, those aren'treal.The flying monkey is not a thing.I just thought for some way, like somewhere out there in the universe there was aflying monkey and that was where Wizard of God inspired from.But sure enough, there are no.There are some, obviously they jump and stuff, but they do not fly.
50:18I feel like it could be like some science experiment that somebody made of like trying to cross breed two animals and there's some kind of flying monkey.Listen, if we get the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz, we should all be in bunkers at that point.It's pretty terrifying too.They are and they are mean.What about you?Did you come up with anything?For me in like movies, I always thought it was a real thing that police could just take anybody's car.Oh.
50:41And like, I'm police officer.I need your vehicle.That happens so much and you can't really do that.Do we know that that's for sure?Yeah, you can't do that.You can't do that. You can't just go and like take somebody's car because you're chasing somebody.There's so much liability there.That is true.
50:56I guess I thought that they could do.I didn't even think twice about it.The FBI police like CIA shows definitely have given me a version of all of those types of government like programs.And I don't think any of them are accurate.If I ever meet any of them in real live, I'm going to have a whole lot of questions.Like, do you guys do this?Or I'm like, no, this is not real.It's all TV.
51:19It is.All right.Dumb debate.How do you like your water?Cold or room temperature?I am pretty much a room temp guy.Okay.I had this hard debate.
51:30I was on the date with the guy.And for some reason, he really wanted to like super cold water.And I was like, that hurts my teeth.What?That's weird.And he was like, really?I thought it's weird to get room temp water.So you're also a room temp person.
51:42Yeah, like I'll have my water bottle and it'll be cold, but by the time I drink it, it's room temp.Because I don't really like cold, like, especially with ice.Like, I'll never drink ice water.Yeah, I guess the only times I drink ice water at a restaurant, mostly because I just don't want to be the person who, like, asked for water without ice.I feel like for the most part, I get, even at restaurants, I get just straight up water.Some of them have definitely, like, moved over to just water with no ice.but there's still some places that do ice water, chain restaurants.Ah, that's it.
52:14You know, old school.They're still in the same.They still have their little ice buckets and stuff.I do love sonic ice, though.But beyond that, I really, I don't like the chunks of ice.I've also been on dates to where I'll take a drink of water and they do have ice in it.I'll, like, get a cube.And I'm like, I am stuck here.
52:32I have to either swallow this hole or spit it back out.There's no in between.And I have done both.And it has not been a good experience.Yeah, in general, I'm just not an ice person unless it's ice coffee.Yeah.Aside from that, like, I don't put ice in anything.And when you drink ice coffee, I'm assuming you're drinking now have a straw too,
52:50so you're not really like dealing with the cubes.Yeah, I don't have the teeth or the ice hitting my teeth.Okay, I'm with you.We are room-tim.I'm curious any of the cold water drinkers out there because you might be a little crazy, but...I also like chug water.Like, I'll just chug like a 24th, like, glass of water,and you can't really chug ice water.
53:10water or cold water. That is true. I wish I could chuck water. I wish I was better. I'm trying so hard,especially with everything that I have going on. I am trying my dangdest to drink so much water.And I am not doing great on it. And that's me like actively trying. I've had to like,I purposely drink a lot of water. I'm to the point where I drink a gallon a day without like trying tojust because I have to like to run as much as I do, I have to keep my body hydrated. Yeah.So, like, I'm always just craving water.The problem is you pee a lot, which sucks.But I find drinking room-temp water helps with it because you can just chug it.
53:50I used to be able to, like, chug a beer really fast, too.Okay.You just transferred it from the beer to the water?Like, I took what I learned about downing beers to drinking water now.Okay.They used to be my party trick of, like, how fast I could chug a beer.Like, not shotguning it.Like, straight up, I could beat people who were shotgunning it by drinking it normally.
54:08Do you think you still could?Probably not.Yeah, and anything gets transferred too much.I feel like the, I don't drink a whole lot of carbonated stuff,so I feel like the bubbles would get me now.Yeah.Because that's really what you got to fight through.Like, whenever you open up your throat to get the beer down,
54:25it's the bubbles that like-Beer logic with Mike Tee.Yeah, it's the bubbles that get you.But you have to like open up your throat a little bit to just like pour it into a hole and not think about it.Mike T, I can't even open my throat to take supplements.You should see me take it.I'm like, oh God, I'm choking.Can't even do that, like let alone with water or alcohol.
54:44I am a, like, if you ever see me taking some moments, sometimes I have to, like, lean my head back and, like, pretend like I'm, like, shoving it back in there.Because, like, for something in my brain stops working.It's like, my brain's like, we're not going to swallow today.So, apparently that's how I am with water and supplements.And then you're over here, Guzzlin.I need your, I need your techniques.All right, last one.Are you the type of person who will pay for parking if it keeps you close?
55:10to something or are you the type of person who parks far away because it's either free or superinexpensive but you have to walk a long way.I am all down for parking as far as possible to get the cheapest price.Like here when we go to concerts in Nashville, we will park as far as possible.It's like a mile of walk at that point, but the parking is like $20 less.I am all about that.I hate paying for parking.It's such a waste.
55:35Gosh, it is.I am 100% in agreement with like pay.I hate paying for parking.It is my like, and everywhere you go in Nashville,sometimes I will not go if somebody invites me to something,if I know I'm going to have to pay to park.I'll be like, sorry, this is just not for me today.But I have gotten to a place where I've started to pay for parking up close.
55:55You know why?It's because by the time something will end, I'm like, I don't,I don't want to walk that far now.Like the walk to it was fine and I didn't care because you're like going to it.You're excited.Then you leave.You're like, I don't want to walk a mile.This is horrible.
56:09And then you're like, stop.It's just, I've had so many horrible experiences walking while because I just decided to, like, you know, not pay the $20 or whatever.And I was like, I can't do it anymore.Something, a switch turned in my brain.And now I'm like, I'm just paying for it.Some days I hate myself for that.But.I mean, yeah, like, even at the mall, they have like that VIP parking.
56:30Oh, yeah.That I won't do.I'm like, I'm not paying to park at the mall.Yeah, no, no, no.Those I won't do.But, like, anytime I go to downtown stuff or I go to a place where I just know that.there's probably much of paid parking around and there's like you can either find street parkingor paid parking.
56:45I just,I get so frustrated and I lose a lot of patience.So I'm like,I'm just going to pay to park.That's going to be.But there has been,there have been like,there have been like,
56:53I'm going to park and I go in there and it'll be like $40.I'm like,never mind,I'm going back out.Yeah.And I like,go find something new.Yeah,
56:59anything over 40,I'm like,I'm walking.I can't do it.It is true.I have a threshold.Depending on the scenario in the situation,one threshold is like $15.
57:09And the other.threshold is 40, like depending on the event or situation.Like if I go on a date downtown, my my threshold is $15.And you'd be surprised how many of them are like $30.So I do end up doing a lot of logging, but I don't like it.I think it's different when I'm here in Nashville versus in another city.Like in another city, I'm more open to paying for parking.But it's something about being in the city you live in and then going to park there.
57:33Like, I was just parked at home.Why am I paying to park here now?Exactly.And for me, though, I live enough.away from the city that an Uber each way costs about $15 or 20.So it's like here this is where I start to justify it.I was like if I'm going to pay whatever I would have paid to Uber, then I'm stuck in the samescenario.
57:53Now, I really also like to save money.I am relatively frugal, which many people may not know that about me.But I try to save money in a lot of ways.So I will try to like do.I'm like, I'm saving $10.So that counts here or you know what I mean?Like I'll do that all that math.head. And then there's sometimes I just get so exhausted. I'm like, just pay the $30.
58:14It's just going to happen. But it is. Everywhere pays for parking now. Everywhere.It's like you can't go anywhere without having to pay something at this point. And maybe that's justNashville in our city. But I feel like it's becoming the thing in most, most cities, they'relike paying for parking because it's easy. The thing that I should have got into for business wasbuying a freaking parking lot. I mean, it just generates money, no overhead. You do nothing.You have to maintain it.Heck, you don't even have to give people tickets.You can, you'll make more money, but, like, you don't even have to.
58:45You know what I mean?That was the one business I should have got in on when I first moved to Nashville.He's buying a freaking parking lot, parking garage.I don't know what that overhead cost is.Not that I had that money, but I should have.And then I hate the ones where you have to, like, enter in your information.Like, you have to go to a website and put in your credit card.Like, the ones that are you can just walk in and it scans your license place.
59:09I'm like, okay, that's cool. At least I don't have to think about it.Yes, but those I have trauma with, I always have to tell them I'm leaving.I'm like, I don't believe you that you're going to make sure I left.You're going to upcharge me $10 more.So I always like go in the app.I'm like, I left.Leave it alone.Oh, man.
