Hey, 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. 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.

You can have opinions, you can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

Part 1. Behind the scenes with a member of the show. Welcome. Come on, come all. Scoobah Steve is joining me this weekend. How are you, Scova?

Come on. Step right up. Extra, extra. Read all about it. I know. I felt really appropriate for you. Come on. Come on.

Come on. It's the reading, living brother, Barnum of Bailey Circus. Over here, we have the gazelle and the zebra. Yeah. It felt very appropriate with you being on this weekend. I don't know why, but it did.

I felt it, so I'm, let's roll with it. All right. Well, welcome to part one. everybody just to break down the bits you're going to catch on part two if you go catch up on the show this week we have an honorable mention we had a lot of guests in studio this week for king and country was on if you want to watch their interview you can go to our youtube page at bobby bone show but the bits you'll actually hear on part two we've got rejected segments listener kurt has an autograph cut that he wants to give bobby but bobby has to play game to get it which was fun because bobby

doesn't get to play games a lot cole swindell came in studio or was that a comment over there scuba from the peanut gallery? It was like, it was like, dude, end the freaking game. Like, it just kept going and going. He really wanted to play, you know? I get it, but like, oh my. He wanted to host his own game show. I know, but like, it was way too long.

That's just me being my honest opinion on it. All right, thank you. It was fine. Appreciate the peanut gallery. Coal show only. Colesley, Colesley. Podcast only, not on air, but it went on air. Behind the scenes, you're welcome.

This is very early on. It was too goddamn long. I will need your honest opinion in a second. Not quite yet. All right. Just because Cole got. interrupted. Cole Swindell was in our studio this week, talking about his proposal. We had everybody shared the last time they were starstruck. Chase Matthew stopped him for the very first time and he's

going to fix somebody on the show's car, which will be super interesting. Lunchbox really wants the show to do staggered bathroom breaks from now on, which you're going to have a hot, hot opinion on because I know Amy and I did. Yeah, he's like a 12 year old. He's literally a toddler. Oh my God. And then Eddie received a million dollar secret. Yeah. So crazy stuff happened on the show this week if you want to catch up. But speaking of your opinion, scuba see, we are, this is like the one thing. And then I have just a bunch of random stuff.

Okay. But Zach from Canada, this didn't make our listener Q&A because we had lots to talk about over there. But he wants to hear your thoughts on the pallet fiasco and all of that for what you can share, what you feel like sharing, or maybe you want to plead the fifth. My thoughts on like in general or where it's at? now or where it's going to go? I think all of it, you know?

Well, I think you saw or heard kind of like what our struggles may be with lunchbox when it comes to doing something because he'll come up with an idea or we'll come with an idea or however it comes into its inception. And then he's like, all right, well, did my part now. Everyone else has got to do the whole rest of it. And I'll just walk away. And then when nothing happens, I'll go, what? I didn't know.

So that's my whole theory on a lot of that. It's just kind of like, he'll like drop the bomb and, And that's a big bomb. That's pretty fun to play with. And then he just removes himself. And then when nothing happens, he's like, why isn't anyone doing anything? And so you're just kind of like, oh, like even when it came to even get the pallet in the first place, it was like a two-week fiasco of even just getting him to come and get the pallet, which then

we had to use my truck to go get it. And I had to go out there and drive it. And then my truck got damaged in the process of going to go pick it up. So it's like. Did you ever get that fixed, by the way? No. Okay. I end up having a fixed.

Forever memory. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's definitely a meter mark in the front of my truck. That one I can't get off. It's like it's just, it's scraped there. But the back thing I did fix myself. We had broken, I'll say we because I was also involved.

I'll put the blame on me as an adult. I was by letting him even do it in the first place. But he broke like one of the back hatches of my truck that covers the bed of a truck. And I had to go through there with a wrench and kind of tighten him back out and fix it. Easy fix. But still it was broken on the account of him. So we've got more than just. business frustrations.

We also had some personal frustration. And then it took over space at work because then Bobby wanted me to clear out this one office we have over here, which was kind of like a storage closet and he wanted to use it to record some stuff out of it. And I was like, hey, man, of course. Totally makes sense. It's an open office. What I can do actually is slide all that over into another office because we have a lot

of open space here. And the one spot that I could put it in that was available, he then put all the pallet stuff in it. Yeah. And I was like, oh, so now I can't. And then Bobby's like, hey, is that? that room cleanup yet. I want to start looking at building something there. I was like, uh, it ain't going to happen anytime soon until he gets the pallet stuff out of that one office.

So then it became this whole six month thing of how are we going to get rid of the pallet stuff. And he went in lunchbox, he wanted to do things that were a little slimy. And so I'm like, I don't really want to put the listeners through that. I think it's kind of a bad look on the show. And he had no charity angle. So I don't mind selling things to listeners if there's like a good reason for it. Like, hey, the money you sell is going to go towards our St. Jude. total at the end of the year or something. I don't know. If there was some sort of positive spin to it.

But he's like, I just want to sell it. And then we get all the money back. It's like, no. And then we reached a point where it's like the money we put into the pallet basically paid for this longstanding bit. And so then I was at the point of acceptance of like, let's just throw all this way because it is just crap. Yeah.

It's all crap. That room reminds me of like what my Amazon packages would look like if I didn't return things. Yes. Or a hoarder's house. Impulse buys. Impulse by hoarder who bought crap and can't remember what they bought because they have bought so much crap. And now their house is full of crap.

And now it's full of cat crap because they got cats walking over the place and rat poop. Like that's what our room is like. Why don't we have to bring cats and rats into this? Because usually when you go to those hoarder shows, there's always a woman who's got 75 cats and they crap all over the place. And they've got rats all over the place and they've crapped everywhere. Well, you know, I like to think if they have animals, their heart was in the right place at one point. At one point. It just got a little over well-made in.

Well, then it becomes dangerous for the. animals. Now you're at a point where like, it's dangerous for everyone. That's true. Yeah. Poor cats contract and the rats got dragged into that one. I know. Well, it's not their fault. It's the owner's fault. But yes. So is the stuff still in the room? When I walked, I haven't seen it, I haven't gone in that direction in a week on purpose. Got it. But the last time I was over there, it was all still in that room. So when is the moment? Because I think we've passed our deadline that everything's just going to get thrown away. Yeah, the deadline was the 22nd. Are we ignoring it at this point? Well, I don't know anyone wants to talk about it anymore because it got so awkward. Yeah.

I even asked Bobby, I was like, hey, do one other? He's like, nah, we're all done with this night. I kind of agree with him. Like, no one wants to hear about this anymore. I think even the listeners are absolutely over it. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's why I was asking. Like, now what's going to happen?

Because you need the room. Yeah, are you over it? Like, how do you feel about the palette? Oh, I've been over it since he started to try and ask me to be involved. And I was like, I didn't even buy into this business proposal. Like, yeah. I'm willing to help you because I have to because you're not going to have access to our social media pages.

No way. That would be a mess. No. I'm willing to help you there. but then it kept going further and further. And I was like, I don't even have an investment in this. This isn't worth my time. Yeah, and I have an investment in.

I'm just ready to throw it away. Yeah. I got my $80 worth from ShowBits, and I think we're good to go. We call it a day, we move on. And if someone wants to go to our back alley, we throw it out back there and grab stuff, have at it. I like it.

Well, so that's your guys' update for now. It's still currently sitting in the room. Yes, yeah. And maybe one day it just disappears. Exactly, yes. Okay. All right, well, what's something? We're changing gears here.

I just, I wanted to respect Zach's question. Yeah, of course, Zach. From Canada. From Canada. What is something

you would like a lifetime supply of? And the reason I'm bringing this up is because I'm like, I'm a creature of habit. Once I start to love something, I know this comes from my mother. She does this a lot often. Like when she falls in love with something, she gets it in like multiple colors or if she likes a version,

it's multiple flavors. Like she gets onto something and then she's obsessed with it for a while. Okay. What's one thing that your mom, either as a kid or now, they're like, like, she has a lot of it. Well, this is a funny one. She really fell in love with Crumbles sugar cookie. Oh, yeah, yeah.

And she would buy like a dozen, but she'd freeze them. So she'd always have them. And I'm like, for real? And it would be this constant thing. And that was what she would always eat. But it's her happiness and her part of her one moment of joy in the day. She's like, oh, my crumble cookie. Yes, but it was the specific one.

You know, it wasn't like, okay, I'll just get crumble once. It was the specific cookie and she'd get a dozen of them and they'd always be there. There'd always be some in the fridge. And that was her thing for a while. Did they not have crumble where she's at? No, they do. Oh, so she just, oh. It was just on the other side of town because we lived on West and for a long time there

wasn't an east, there wasn't one on the West. There was just the east side. Oh, my God. So she would have to go like 25, 30 minutes to go get it. Okay. It's not far far, though. I'm thinking she had to go to Nashville to get it or something. No, no, no, no.

Oh, okay. It was just her thing. So like, this is where this was born out of. And because of her, I have this kind of similar habit. Not quite to that extent. Yeah. But like I found these like gluten-free sea salt crackers from a brand name Milton's that I, oh my gosh, I love. Like, I love.

Like I love. And they're so good because finding a gluten-free, like good crackers hard. Yeah. And so when I find them, like you should see me at the store getting them. I'm buying like 10 backs. Milton is the brand like Milton Hershey? No, like Milton's. It's a different.

It's like a cracker company maybe. Trying to see if I recognize it. Oh, I recognize this packaging. I don't think I've ever had it, but I definitely recognize seeing this in the store. Well, really good gluten-free crackers. Oh, no wait. I have had this because I believe it or not, I love the crispy sea salt ones. These ones right here?

Yeah, those are them. They have a teal and white packaging. I'm a weirdo. I love crackers. Like, as a kid, I used to love going to a restaurant because a lot of times they would have crackers in like a thing. I think before they would even give out bread. Maybe bread was more of like the fancier restaurants.

Oh. You get bread in a basket. And the cheaper crappy ones that we went to as a kid would always have crackers there. but it was mostly meant for, like, if you got a salad or a soup or whatever, but they were there, and I would eat the crackers as my appetizer as a kid. And I used to love the ones that were, like, rectangles shaped. Club crackers. Club crackers, yeah.

Oh, so good. Those are good with a salad. Dude, those are just good by themselves. That's true. And I loved it because whenever you would get it, it would be in a package, and there'd be like two or three of them in there. And one in the middle or one of them would have, like, a brown edge on it. And that was always the best cracker. So I love me some, just plain, even cars crackers?

We've had a similar experience because I'm feeling you right now. I had the same experience with crackers. Yeah, yeah. That was our bread at the table was crackers. So, yeah. So you like them. Like a piccadilly or whatever. I'm a big like cheese and crackers.

Like I've always, I always ate shredded cheese out of the bag. That was like my thing. And then as I started to get older, I added crackers to that. Okay. And now I eat like straight up. It's just, it's gotten bougier as I've gotten older. Yeah, yeah. You know?

You can afford more things too? Well, like it started with me just eating craft shredded cheese out of the bag sitting on the couch. And now it's morphed into really good crackers. and like fancy cheese from Trader Joe's. Heck yeah. We do that in the weekend. Whenever my wife's like, let's just get a snack plate going

and she'll pull out this like huge wooden board and we'll have like the cars crackers. So good. Like other crackers. We'll cut up some cheese like parmesan or whatever cheese we got. Grapes, strawberries, bananas, apple slices.

See, like snack boards are like the ultimate. Yeah, yeah. And I think people always look past him because it can be an appetizer, but like they can be a whole meal to me. I could just sit there all night. Sometimes. See?

It would just sit there all five of us and just chowing down. It's awesome. Yes. Okay. So what's your lifetime supply? Because that's mine. Is these like sea salt milk crackers?

I guess I got a couple. I like a lifetime supply of shoes like Nike rebogged like basketball type shoes. Okay. If you could only choose one brand though. One brand. Then I would have to go with Nike because it would also encompass Jordan. So I'll do Nike because then I can do like Penny. I can do Jordan, which is the only two I really like a Nike.

And then I like some special ones that will come out every once in a while, like some air max. or whatever. So I'll do Nike and I'll do weed. Sativa strain only please. Got it. Okay. I was going to say you might get a little bit more specific than that but okay. Yeah. If I had to pick a particular strain, there was this one called juicy fruit that I haven't seen in a long time. They used to sell in San Francisco. Circa 10. Did it taste like the bubble gum? Dude, it was unbelievable. I've only seen at this place called the Green Door that got shut down because it was near a park within like a mile of a park, but it was a drug park, but it was a loop, but it was a loophole for the government to shut down these. So back in 2010, it was only medical in San Francisco and California. It wasn't

recreational yet anywhere. And so they still had these, they were still given the people, the business is a really hard time. They would have these rules like if it was in a certain amount of places of a school, none of them were. You couldn't build it there. But then they made some laws while buildings were already or business were already in place. One of them was if it was near a park. And this one spot that I went to a green door was near a park, but it was a park in the tenderloin, which is like a super cd area. It was a park that no child has been to since probably 1984. What's cd you mean? CD like sketch. How do you spell that? Like CD, I think maybe S, E, D. I don't know. I've never spelled it. I've never heard anybody say that. That's why

I'm so curious. Yeah. I heard it like a CD part of town, like a seat like a really like sketch area town like CD. Like that's a CD spot. But what does it stand for? It's like a sketch weird, unsafe place. But it's CD? Not like compact disc, but like a seed, like CD. I don't know what the origin is. No, it's okay. You don't have to look. I was just curious.

It was just something I picked up living in San Francisco. Yeah. But it's a CD part of town. Got it. And I picked up through context clues. I was like, oh, yeah, this is a CD part of town. Got it. Okay.

Well, I was curious because I was like, I've never read that before. Yeah, yeah. And so it was a park that most people were passed out on drugs and shooting up on heroin. But it was a park, technically. The store would have to close down. And I remember being like, oh, my God, they're closing down. And they never reopening. because they lost a bunch of money on a raid.

It was just, it was awful what they did to them. But then, like, two years later, everything became legal. So it was such a bunch of crap. Did they ever reopen back up? I never found their location. Because there was another spot I used to go to in the Hade Asprey District called Vapor Room, and they got closed down too. And they just went away for a couple years.

And then they came back and they resurfaced in a different location somewhere else in San Francisco. But the green door was the only spot that had this juicy fruit strain. And I would go there every Friday to pick up some after work, getting ready for the weekend, just treat myself. And it was, hey, juicy fruit. Juicy fruit. I had a medical card.

I was following the rules. I lived in California. lived in San Francisco. I was in Alice in Wonderland's rabbit hole. I'm going to have some fun. So judge me all you want. I enjoyed life. You were just having juicy fruit.

Which, by the way, how were the space gummies I gave you for Christmas? Our Christmas gift exchange. Oh, they're gone. So they were fun. Yay. Okay. Scoopin went to space. Yes.

So if anyone out there knows where juicy fruit is, it's a sativa strain. It has a really nice. fruit smell and flavor and it's just punging with the right smells and it is delicious. And for all the kids out there, he's talking about juicy fruit gum, which is also hard to find. So let us know if you know where that is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I haven't seen it at a gas station in a while. I know. So moving forward from that, love it. It's okay to educate your kids a little bit, I feel like. We live in a time where.

Yeah, no, but I just, I don't know if they're super young. It's true. Well, they should probably, I don't know. They're like four years old. I don't know if we're there yet. It's a little young to be listening to show at four years old. But, yeah. Well, you know, sometimes they just like a little happen. Well, the podcast version is a little bit different from the on air version. Yeah.

I feel like sometimes. Yeah. But again, going to the question, answer one, we either get to or we get to, never judge a parent on what they do. This is true. That happened. Wait. That wasn't the Q&A. Yeah.

You're hurting my brain because we went backwards this week. We did it backwards instead of like in the order. Yes. Yeah. So that's why I was like, when did that happen last time? I don't remember when it posts though, but I just know how we did it. Yeah. I know.

I know. I know how we, yeah. Yeah. That's too much inside baseball. Oh, yeah. But love your lifetime supplies. And I love your seasawl crackers. These are amazing.

Thank you. You should try them. I've tried them. I know what those are. You have. I have. I recognize the packaging immediately. And I'm like, yes.

The, like, best gold combo with them is the unexpected cheddar from Trader Joe's, like, cheese spread. Okay. I never had it. Amazing. And you eat a little red seedless grape with it. You got a little bougie, P.B&J. Okay.

If you will. I am anti-trader Joe, Trader Joe's. Why? Because the parking lots are always the size of like a shoebox. Okay, yeah, but like you. And anytime I've been to Trader Joe's, it is the most, especially the ones that I was exposed to in L.A., the parking lots were the size of a 300 square foot apartment, and you could never find parking, and it was a pain in the ass, so I completely avoid Trader Joe's

because the inconvenience of it. Well, the one over in West Nashville is not like that. Okay. You have plenty of places to park. And if you go during the day or during like a weekday, you're totally fine. If you go on a weekend, yeah, you're going to be miserable. Okay. For sure.

But you should give it another shot because they have really good things. Okay. Throwing that out there. My, I want to talk about beige flags. Do you know what that means? Bage flag. No, I don't know what Bages. You know what red flags are.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody has like a red flag. Well, beige flag was the trend on social media of like something that's kind of a quirk of yours. It's not a bad thing and it's not necessarily a good thing either, but it's just kind of a thing that you have. And I have a beige flag and maybe I'll help you think of a beige flag you have that could be funny. Okay.

So I have this thing. My beige flag is that I can't watch TV shows or movies if they make me too uncomfortable. Like I could be an hour and a half into a movie. You'll stop it? Yep. You wouldn't even get to the end? No, because if I get too uncomfy and I'm like, whether it's like making me have the hebie-jibis or like I can't watch because it's so gory or because like it's so painfully awkward

that I can't like sit through it, I just stop it. And I don't ever come back to it. and I pretend I saw the whole thing. And I kind of make up the end in my head. You're like, oh, it's amazing. In the end, oh, my gosh. Yes. And the reason I know that I do this is because I was with a man in uniform.

We were watching a movie that I had actually picked because that looked really good. It was called Land of Bad on Amazon Prime. Good movie. I haven't seen it. I don't think now. It has Liam Hemsworth in it. But it's very gory. And I don't typically watch gory movies.

Okay. But I wanted to watch this one. And I would have normally turned it off, but he was watching it. And so, you know, I just sat there with like, I was a little kid, like, watching through my eyes. Really? You wouldn't even just, like, stomach it a little bit? I was trying. That's how I was stomaking it through my eyes, through my hand holes.

You know? So that is my beige flag is if something makes me too uncomfortable, I just, I like, pause, runaway. Okay. It's not a great quality trait I have, but it is what it is. Because you miss out on a lot of things that you know, you don't know the inning to a lot of things. Yeah, there was another one that maybe do this. but I did end up finishing it. It was Ricky Stenickey with Zach Ephron and John Cena on...

Okay, I haven't seen it. I know about it, yeah. Yeah, it's like a comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But there were such awkward moments that I had to keep pausing it. Like, awkward, I knew what was coming. I'd be like, pause. How did you get through the season one of office?

Did you watch that? I did watch office, but I don't know why. I don't know if the humor was just so dry that it was okay. Even like the Scots Tots where he promises him college scholarships. Did you see that episode? I think I blocked that out of my memory. Oh, because that one... Because that one got really awkward, and I loved it.

I love awkward. I love the feeling of... I love the feeling you get of feeling awkward. I think it's the coolest feeling in the world. For real? It makes my stomach turn so hard. Me too. But it's a feeling that you don't get very often,

and so when it happens, I just, I love it. I love it. I love it. And I love knowing that somebody else, the best thing in the world is knowing that someone else is feeling awkward, and then you just play into it even more. It's so much fun for me. That's how lunchbox makes me feel anytime we're in public together.

And I'm like, I don't want to hang out with you anymore. Oh, yeah. I think so I'm the oldest of my family and so I'd always mess around my younger siblings. There's nothing better than making somebody feel awkward and then playing into it even into it even more. Okay. Well, I just got vulnerable and you cannot use this against me. If you do this to me in person, I will come after you. This is not allowed to be used against me.

Okay. All right. Okay. Promise. I'll see. Scova. I just got vulnerable on a podcast. I didn't know that this is going to be used in any way shape of work.

Well, here's the thing, and my wife can attest this. I can't, I will promise, but I can't guarantee that I will remember because I will promise for a while. And then after a certain bit, a certain period of time, this could even be my beige. I have another one, though. After a certain period of time, my brain then takes in so much information and something just happened to go missing. And this one could be one that goes missing in about four or five months.

Okay, that is fair. And I understand, as long as you don't do it intentionally, I won't be mad at you. Or what will happen is I'll come to and I'll be. go, oh shoot, that's right. Morgan said, don't da-da-da, and then I'll feel bad, but then I'm midway through it, and I have to commit and continue going on, whatever I'm doing. No, in this scenario, you don't get to keep committing. You have to bailed.

Because I will have probably already bailed and, like, halfway to Texas Bonnell. Okay. This is FYI. Okay. What's your beige flag? So mine would be that I'm an alien when it comes. I feel like I'm an alien because whenever I go anywhere for any sort of, like, outing at a restaurant, I was like, how do I even get that when you go to a restaurant?

Well, at first I thought you were about to say, I'm an alien, and then I didn't know where that was going to go. Well, I feel like it because all I want is liquids. Like, I could survive off of liquids all day, every day. So if we go somewhere, like, for breakfasts, for example, most people are, like, going to ready to order their food. I think I order more. I have more cups lined up around me than I have food. So if we go for breakfast, I'll have an orange juice. I'll have a coffee.

And with the coffee, I need a milk because I like to use regular milk with the coffee. I don't like to use, like, the cream or whatever. And then sometimes I'll have a Coca-Cola classic. So I'll have a whole of a lot of fluids around me and I'll drink them all. I'll drink them all at different times within the meal. And so I'm a liquid connoisseur. How are you getting all those different flavor profiles while also eating? That can't taste good.

I go through and I know I want like about it. So before the meal comes, I'm really big on the water, hydrating, maybe a little bit of Coke. And then as the meal comes, then I'll start introducing the coffee and I'll have that. And then as I get to the end of the meal, I like to end it with orange juice. it's kind of like my dessert. Okay, but orange juice has such a funky taste. Like, I think of orange juice in toothpaste, especially because I had to eat an Oreo with that one time.

Yeah. Never forget. One time. It has such a weird taste. Like, does it not create a weird thing in your mouth? I think maybe I've gotten used to it because I'll even have cereal with orange juice. Like, I'll use milk, but I'll have orange juice as my drink with the cereal. The milk isn't the drink?

No, not at all. A milk just happens to make the cereal easier for me to chew, I guess. So you're very hydrated. It's extremely hydrated, almost to the point where it's too much. But maybe not all the best hydrations. I drink a lot of water though. Tons of water throughout the day. Lots of water.

You do have two things sitting in front of you right now. Yeah, I have a coffee and have a water. And then I love my favorite thing in the whole world is when you're on road trips and you go to gas stations in different regions of the world and seeing what kind of drinks they have in their drink area. Yeah. Sometimes you'll find cool sodas you haven't seen in a while. Like surge was around for a minute again in the early 2010s. Where you get like five of them when you go in?

Oh yeah. Whatever I find that's unique. I'll try something. I go, oh, that was really good. I'll have to make a note when we come back. I want to buy more of those. Have you been to Buckees? Yeah, I've been to, yeah.

The place gives me too much anxiety. Well, so, have you seen the slushy wall? Do you like the slushy wall? Yes, I love the slushy wall, yeah. I try to go to Buckees when it's not that busy because it's just too much. Yeah, it kind of reminds at Costco. Yeah, it is a little, it's a little ridiculous. It is, but it's also, like, I get it.

Like, when I first went in, I was like, the hype is not worth this. And then when I left, I was like, the hype is worth this. Yeah, I mean, it's cool, especially if you're on a road trip. It's cool to get out for like 30 minutes and stretch your legs and reset and whatever. So I get the business side of it, but for my personality, I avoid Bucky's like the plague. Well, the slushy wall now calls your name. Now that I know this about you. I know.

And then I bring my kids in there and they have the anxiety of a rest stop and one of the kids going missing. Oh, I didn't even think about that. Terrifies me. So I want nothing to do with Buckees. I want a small little corner store or shell or whatever at it. You want a CD gas station? CED gas stations are the best. They have the best sodas of random drinks.

Did I use that right? CD, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I love a seedy spot. Okay, got it. Oh, yeah. All right. Well, thanks for being vulnerable.

I will not use that against you. I hope you respectfully do the same for me. Yeah, you really can't use it against me. I don't really care. I'm still going to drink all my liquids. I'll start taking them. They just go missing. You're like, where all the drinks?

That's how you can use it against me? Like, I just got five cups here. Now it's only four. You don't get any. Like, they just keep going missing. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. 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 to...

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

Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Everyone, I'm Ego Wodom. My next guest, you know from Stepbrothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network.

It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo. 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. Mm-hmm.

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

There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Scoop, I feel like this is a weird year for me. and maybe you're having a weird year of some kind too. But I have five weddings, three of which I am in this year. I know I saw that. Like, I'm having my 27 dresses moment. Have you seen that movie? No, I haven't.

Okay, 27 dresses with Catherine Hegel. And she's literally a bridesmaid in so many weddings. She has a closet full of bridesmaid dresses. And she wasn't the one who like fell in love or whatever. And it's this whole storyline of her being a bridesmaid. I've seen it. That's a great movie. It's a great movie.

It's a really good movie. That is what my 2024 is. James Marzen's in it too. That's right. What a great movie. And that is my year. It's the 27 dresses of Morgan is happening. And I'm a little overwhelmed, but I'm also really excited.

It's just weird. It feels really weird that like this is finally hitting for this time of my life. Maybe it's very normal at age 30 because this is when everybody gets stressed to get married. Yeah. All your friends start doing it. Yeah. And like you're really good friends. And it was funny up until this year, none of my good friends were like really up until last year.

None of my good friends were in like serious relationships enough to get married. And then it all happened at once. You feel weird because you feel like, okay, now there's a pressure like, when's Morgan going to be next? Is it one of those things? No, because I was already last in my college roommate. They literally all got married like the year after each other. And then there's this huge gap now.

And that's you. Yeah. On the last one. So I kind of got over that with that one. Even like any pressure with the family like, Morgan, when are you going to settle down? No. When are you give us grandkids?

Like any of that kind of crap? No. You know, my parents have never been that way, especially because, I mean, And they also know I'm a huge animal lover, so there's always a real possibility that I go rogue and, like, start a rescue instead of having babies. Yeah. And that's how you end up meeting your soulmate then? Yes, that's possible.

But who knows? I mean, listen, the man in uniform situation is moving really, really well. I have nothing but rave reviews. Oh, I thought you paused the other day about it. Well, I paused because I just wasn't ready to be like, yeah, because listen, they've been coming out of me hard about it. And I needed some breathing time to, like, allow myself to be in. this and have fun. Amy went hell of hard. But they mean like her. She was like straight up like projecting something. I don't know. It was crazy. Yeah. And like he's like genuinely scuba. I this this man was

created by a woman. Literally. But also figuratively like it's like well yeah. Yes. Sorry. The saying is he is what's the saying? Now I can't think of it. It's like maybe hold on. Hold on. I have to Google. Do a little adlet for me. Okay. So, let's talk about basketball. There is the playoffs right now. I'm an Orlando Magic fan and is not looking very good. Okay, thank you. Thank you for the ad lib. I'm sorry about your basketball team. I'm not sure what was being said.

I was filibustering for you. Thank you. A little Easter egg from the big show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a man written by a woman. It's what I was trying to say. Man written. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah. And it's basically a trend that refers to a man who is the like the character is very respectful, very introspective, very dreamy, like he's just a really good human and he carries himself very well. Okay.

And so that's what man in uniform is. He is a man that is written by a woman. Okay. So far, like, genuinely, I, half the time when things happen, I'm like, is this real? Because I don't know. And it is. Like, it's very real and it's consistent.

So. Is his, and if I'm going too much, then I want to give way to it. I'll plead the fifth to find out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I say I have a similar experience, not saying I want to put myself in that category, but I think because I was. raised by a single mother and I saw that perspective and by my grandmother and my grandfather

who loved and respected women a lot. And then all my cousins were all girls that lived in Tampa. And my uncle had all girls. So he had a different perspective. Does he have a very similar dynamic where he was just surrounded or anyone who's written into that have that as well where their perspective on life is because they're around so many women that they then get to see what their life is like versus like if you only had a dad and he had all brothers, nothing against it, but you're going to be more like, oh, man. A little bit more manly. Yeah, like, I could care less about football.

I don't like football. I don't mind it. But it's like, it's not like I'm like, oh, I can't wait for the NFL season to come back and get our football draft going. Nothing wrong with that, but it's just not in me. Or like, man, baseball season, it's America's pastime. Like, I don't give a crap. I don't mind going.

I don't mind seeing it if it's on. Like, if I go to a game, like, we used to go to Dodger games all the time. Yeah. And we'd get there early. You have a Dodger hat on right now. Exactly. We'd go to Dodger games. and then we'd be there early and we'd be out by third or fourth inning.

We'd leave because we're like, let's beat traffic. And also we don't really care. That was fun. We had enough fun and let's go. Yeah. Yeah. So he has, dad's very involved too. Like he's very close to this family.

But he, as he would describe it, has a very strong-willed mother and just very impactful mom on his life. Okay. He's very successful. And so him being intimidated by strong women is not a thing. Because he's been exposed to his whole life, which is huge. Very important for me and something I was looking for. Yeah, and a lot of men have to learn that later in life where he was growing up with it.

And he was in his DNA. And much like you're talking about, he's had it surrounded not just by his mom, but from a lot of other people in his life too. Which is helpful. Yeah, totally. Yeah, and just closeness to family, which I feel like when you have some strong values connected to family, whatever family looks like to you, whether it's traditional or untraditional. I think that's a huge deal when it comes to relationships. It just has a big impact on it. Oh, yeah, totally does.

Yeah. That's cool. I'm happy for you. Yeah. So I'm still having my 27 dresses moment, but things are going really well. Yes. And don't put any pressure on yourself ever, not saying you would, but don't ever feel like, don't ever let society or anyone else put you in a space where you feel like,

oh, I have to, you don't have to do anything. No, and you know, people often ask me, they're like, why do you share your dating life so much and like so, so much? Why don't you keep it private? And I think it's a great perspective to share because this is what dating looks like. Yeah. There's ebbs and flows. you go through breakups, you meet somebody new.

This is literally, the show has experienced my entire 20s as a woman who's been dating. Yeah, oh yeah. And if I never gave that perspective, I don't feel like I would have given a voice to those people. Because we really don't have that on the show. You know what I mean? We have a lot of guys and most of them have been married and Bobby has his own storyline where he got married later. But like that storyline of like a woman genuinely going through the ebbs and flows of dating

what that looks like, that was there. Oh, yeah. And so I've just always shared, but I've always been cautious and very, I have my own timelines that I share things. That's why I pled the fifth. I was like, just let me enjoy this for a little bit before I like, let you guys put me to the fire. Yeah. But I think it's important to share that because it's, it's such a big part of people's lives. And dating sucks.

It's also really awesome at the same time. It's both. Yeah. And dating, you've also kind of, even because technology evolves so quickly, you've probably seen so much in the transition of how dating as, you know, the infant stages of online to where it is now. I remember there's a moment where my mom was going through all this stuff, of dating because she was a single mother. And it was like, you know, the websites that she'd be like back then.

It was like, oh, you're going online dating with a loser. Oh my God. And then like the pictures are never the same guy. Like we always would make fun of her. Yeah. She'd show us the guy and we're like, yeah, Mom, that's like him when he was like, 1986. He probably looks nothing like that now.

You know, and the guy, and like she would be in a second or third date with a guy and she'd bring him to the house, whatever. And we're like, that looks nothing like the guy in the picture, mom. Like he's a dweeb. Yeah, catfish hasn't come as a term yet, probably. No, not at all. And you're like, dude, what a, mom, you can't find any guys on the internet. It's dumb.

You should go find someone in real life. And now we like don't talk to each other in real life. And that was just like, you know, 15, 20 years ago. That was completely different. It has. I've experienced so many different ways of which the dating spectrum has been and existed. But yeah. Yeah.

So that's, I mean, kind of a reason why it was just more of like, I know other people are going through this. I know what my conversations with my girlfriends, my guy friends looked like, and it was always about this. It was the chaos that came with dating. Because it's such a big part of our lives. Like you have your professional life and you have your personal life and your personal life. 99% of people, it involves romantic love. Yeah. What does that look like? Most of the time it's not pretty. Yeah. Oh yeah. So. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's why. What is this year for you? We talked about my 27 dresses. Man in uniform, which was not intentional, but it came out. Yeah. This year for me. Yeah.

I would say, and it's happened a lot. So we're in a week of palindrones. Hold on, I don't want to say it wrong. Oh, okay. Do I need a filibuster for you? So basically I can explain what it is. So like when you look at the word race car. Okay.

Race car forward and backwards is spelled the same way. Palindrome, yes. So we are in a week of palindromes where the date is started on 420, April 20th. And it goes through the 29th where the numbers repeat themselves forward and backwards. So if you look at 42024, you look at it backwards, it's still 42024. Okay. So we are in a streak of palindrums for like nine or ten days. And there's only 29 in the entire 21st century.

And nine or ten of them happen in this month. So I feel like over these last few days and then it will continue. That palindrum's getting you. It will continue to progress. But this is especially a very prosperous and lucky time of the year. and so for me, I think this year is growth. Growth on a career side of things. We like it.

Yes. I think a lot of changes will come this year. I'm not sure what point in the year, but I know this is a year for a lot of changes for me and for my family. Particularly professionally, or do you think also personally? I mean, it'll affect our personal life. Yes, but I mean like...

But it's not like we're going to have a fourth child or anything. Nothing like that. No, it's strictly all professional. professional that would then of course in lieu effect personal. I love it. I love that for you. Yeah, I love it too. A palindrome. Am I saying that right? Yeah, palindrome. Yeah, palindrome. It's a weird to say. It's like, am I saying it right? What it makes me think of is you remember those balls that are on like the little square wooden thing and they click back and forth? That's what it reminds me of. Yeah. But I know that's not what that's called. That maybe we called a palindrome because it's on it's on either

side and it repeats. Watch this be the same thing. Let's put put in here. What is it? What would you how you described that? Oh, all I know is it's typically like a box of balls that hit back and forth. And hit back and. I know that also probably sounds weird if you're just not trying it. Oh, yeah. Fourth on each side. Let's see what the internet says.

They call it Newton's cradle. Newton's cradle. Yeah, Newton's cradle. Let me make sure we're looking at the right thing. Yeah, these things right here. Newton's cradle. Yes. So because it's gravity because you're hitting one side and then it creates an opposite reaction

on the other side and then creates the reaction back to the other side. I think I would like to think that they're both palindrums, though. Yeah, it sounds like you could probably call it that. People wouldn't know you're talking about. Both be the same. Yeah, so I'd say a year of change, year of growth. Year of growth, year of love and weddings for me. These are some interesting times we're getting in right now.

Oh, yeah. I love it. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. 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 2, 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 vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone?

I'm Ego Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch

them one day and I was like and dad I think I want to really give this a shot I don't know what that means but I just know the groundlings I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place they 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 It would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.

Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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 community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship, nourishaping 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. All righty. Listen up. I need a good scuba Steve story here because I know you're going to have one time to this. So there's girls on

Instagram that are sharing the craziest lie. A partner or a person that have ever dated has ever told them. Okay. And I have a really strong one. I didn't tell it was an experience I had. And I bet you also have one. Because I know I'm thinking about like the girl in the car and the chicken nuggets. I'm pretty sure it was chicken nuggets that you brought to her house.

You caught her cheating? Oh yes. Yeah. Was the chicken nuggets? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought.

Okay. But you can't use that one because you've shared that one. But I bet you have another one if I had to guess. Yeah. I'll let you think. I'll share mine. Okay. So mine involved my, that's the setup.

Yeah. My infamous ex, let's just put him that way. He, it was becoming my birthday. It was the night before my birthday. And we had planned to spend the night together and, you know, celebrate my birthday. Well, it's like getting into midnight when it's always been my thing that I like to celebrate my birthday at midnight and then like fall asleep. It's just kind of something I've liked to do. So you do it's cool.

So you do midnight, so like if save your birthday was, it was like today, whatever day. So you would do it midnight where essentially the next day is your birthday. Yeah, like you get to ring it in right then. Gotcha. Like you're at the top of it. Yeah. Okay, cool. Not as much as I've gotten older, but I really did that in my like teens and early 20s.

Okay. Because I was going out and drinking. You'd go out on Thursday and you'd celebrate at midnight. Midnight and Friday's just technically your birthday. Yeah. And that was the plan. Well, he like all of the sudden was like, I'm not feeling well. I have to go home.

Whatever. And I was like, okay, well, I'm super bummed, but what, you know, what am I going to do? I get a photo, not even 30 minutes later of him at the bar with his buddies. And I was like, hmm. How did you get the photo? Somebody I knew was also out. Oh, so someone saw him was like, hey, your man's in the bar. I was like, hey, like, I see him.

And it was innocent. Like, it was more of a like, hey, where are you? He's probably thinking, yeah, where are you? Yeah. Like, it's your birthday tomorrow. Like, aren't you supposed to be out? And I was like, hmm, I was. and then not even 20 minutes after that,

I got a photo of him with another girl. Because I'm like sitting at home and I'm just like, what am I going to do? Like show up at the bar and then you know what I did? I showed up at the bar. Yeah. Because it was my birthday and I was pissed. And you're right to have a good time

and if it means that someone else's expense. Yeah, so I showed up and you know what he did? He ran out of the bar. He ran. Like he saw me. We made eye contact and he ran. This bar had like a dual area so you could go to like the other side

and like still get out. There's multiple exits. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And all his friends are still staying there. And all of a sudden, I just see him dip out. I mean, he darted out. Like darted out, took off the other direction. And there's more to that story, but that's where I'm going to leave it.

Wow. Yeah. Did you confront the girl? I mean. Or go up to his friends and be like, hey, guys, what's up? I did go up to his friends and they're like, oh, hi, like, you okay? And I'm like, you guys all suck. Yeah, you guys all suck because you know that we were dating and none of you had the balls

just be like to say anything. Yep. Yep. You all went along with it. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That means all those people are terrible. Yeah.

Yeah. And he was a bad dude. So like he had a lot of, he had a lot of issues. But it was a very lie that like I had never done that before. I'd never shown up somewhere and been like intentionally know what I was doing. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like I know what I'm about to walk into and I'm not happy about it. Yeah. So there's always the thing. It's always it when somebody looks. crazy, there's always a reason. Yeah. And it is never them. Yeah.

Oh yeah. Somebody else did it to them. Exactly. Yeah. That kind of crazy. Yeah. So that was a really bad one. That's a crazy lie that I like caught red handed.

Damn. Okay. So yeah. He's a bad one. That's why I ended there. But was at the end of the relationship or you guys stayed on for a little even more? Oh yeah.

That was, this is a bad one. I mean, he had, that man had a way with words and away with charm to get out of things. and convince me that I was crazy. Wow. You know what I mean? Yeah. And it was very early in my 20s, so I was still learning about relationships

and I never experienced that type of person before, so I didn't. I just, you also know me as a person. I assume everybody's good and I assume that nobody would want to hurt other people and that's just not something I can understand very well. You give people the benefit of the doubt and you're like, okay. Yeah, and he got lots of benefit of the doubts. Wow, sounds, geez, oh my goodness.

That's a rough one. That's awful. and on your birthday. Yeah, that was where the rockiness did start, though. Like, that was the beginning of it. Okay. Kind of gave you the signs of like, I probably should not be here anymore.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But definitely toxic. I mean, both sides. Like, I'll own my stuff. I should have just straight up left. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. But, you know, you live and you learn. So, yeah. Crazy lie. Yeah. You got anything? Well, it comes to mind. So my ex-wife, we had a lot of lies.

I don't know how many of my told, but there's a lot of them that I didn't tell, I don't think. And one of them was also similar to that too where we were out somewhere. I think we both had just got we had just gotten couples massages. And I was with, oh my God, I remember because my friend David who moved to Nashville recently, he's living with me for the next month. Well, I get his, hey, David. Yeah, well, he gets his feet of the ground.

I believe he was there. And I remember because it was like we were, we went to get a couples massage. And they're like, hey, we're afterwards, we're going to go to this bar over near giant stadium, AT&T Park in San Francisco. And then we're sitting there. And then so we're hanging out. We're talking. David's there, I'm there, she's there. And I feel like one of her friends are there.

Anyways, it doesn't really matter. But we're sitting there at the bar and she goes, oh, I'll be right back. I'm thinking she's going to the bathroom or something. And then she didn't come back for a while. I'm like, that's my wife. So I'm like, where is she? I was getting nervous. But I have this like, this gut, you know, your gut feeling like in the pit of your stomach.

You're like, something's not right. Something's not right. Something's not right. Something's not right. And something was not right. Because she's like, I'll be right back. And again, assuming we went to the bathroom. And it had been like almost 30 minutes.

I'm like, but you know, we're hanging out. I figured maybe she stopped and saw something. I don't know. And so I'm like, hey, and Dave was like, maybe we should like get up and walk around and see if we can find her or something. Because we were at the bar, though. We want to keep our space at the bar because it was kind of crowded. I think it was during like a Giants game or after a Giants game.

So that whole area gets flooded with fans and people who were at the stadium or watching the game across the street. So it was a really busy. And it may have been like playoff time too. So it may have been even extra busy. So we didn't want to lose our spot at the bar. And I was like, I don't know. I kind of she'll come back you know and I believe that she even left her phone at the bar too

so she had nothing on her. Oh dang so she like really was like playing it into this lie. Yeah and so then I'm like all right and then Dave's like no we should just walk around so we can find her I was like all right whatever we lose her spot at the bar walking around we get around the corner and I see her having a conversation with somebody and it's not like one of those like it's not like a hey good to see you like whatever the body chemistry was like they are about to have sex kind of chemistry and I was like and I'm like what who's that? that? David was like, oh, I think I see her over there. And I'm like, I'm like, who's that dude with her? And I was like, oh, and Dave, he's like, well, let's go find out. And so you walk over

there. And then she's like, oh, hey guys. Oh, and like the conversation. It was like, you know, you walk in on someone talking crap about you. And then you can feel it. And not saying they were talking crap about me, but you feel something was wrong. Yeah. And then they kind of like quickly switched to up there. Oh, yeah. So like the basketball game. Yeah. Well, I mean, the baseball game. Oh, I mean, yeah, the game. What a crazy game, right? Was he like playing into her lie? Like, do you think he knew that you were her husband? I don't know because because then I made it known because then it was the conversation got interrupted by me and then she didn't even introduce us to him. And then I was just like, oh, hey, my name's Stephen.

I'm her husband. And I could see him kind of be like kind of like putting pieces together. And maybe he's kind of like, oh, you're her husband. And I wasn't sure if it was a, oh, I didn't know she had a husband or this was part of that Ashley Madison thing I dealt with. And he was one of the men who was also a piece of crap cheating on his wife. and he's probably like, oh crap, the husband's here. This isn't supposed to happen. Got it.

Yeah. Like, kind of like, oh, my God. Oh, what do I do? And she's like, oh, yeah, he's one of our clients that works at the hotel. He's one of our vendors. And da, da, da, da, da, it's like really played it off as like a, because she worked at a hotel and did the event side of the hotel. So she would always play off these scenarios, because this happened a couple times, actually.

These scenarios as a, oh, it's just a client, you know, he was one of the vendors and he's in town and just having to run into him kind of thing. And I'm like, bull effing. crap. But it was one of your lessons, right? Where you, it took you a while to be like, okay, what is this? What's happening? Yeah. And I was married too. So I want to, I'm also like, what is this is weird? But I also was like, I don't want to be the jealous guy and seem like the crazy guy. I'm like, what are you talking to that guy? So I just kind of like would pull back and be like, oh, hey, nice to meet you or whatever. And then I and then, and then I always give

a little bit harder of a handshake than I would most people like it'd be one of those like death grip handshakes. Like you're giving a stern talking to through a handshake. Exactly. Yes. Like my energy is coming through to me to you to let you know back the F off. And then it was kind of like, and I think she was trying to be like, well, I'm going to keep talking to him. You guys go whatever. And I was like, all right, let's go. And then I could tell her she was kind of a little bit perturbed by it.

And I was like, but I didn't care. And we just, by the way, we just did a couple's massage like an hour and a half ago, popped an edible, went to a bar, having a great time and you're going to do this right in front of me. Like, what in the hell was wrong with you? Yeah. And you also have a similar personality type to me, too, that I feel like you also want to believe the best in people.

Of course. You don't want to naturally assume like this person is going to be a horrible person because you also can't understand how they even got there. Like, I can never do that. So how can you do that? Yes. Exactly.

I would never do it to anyone. I wouldn't. I couldn't sign in me. And then also then you start going to happen. Maybe he is a client. Maybe he was there last week. And they do come to town and they're there for a week. And she's happy to see him.

And they're really good at making you think that that's the case. Yes, exactly. They paint the story. And you're like, okay, well, then that's the story. And I don't want to act crazy because then I'm, I'm the crazy guy, then the guy really could be an actual vendor and a person. And then I ruined that relationship and caused the company. It's like, I don't want to be that guy.

It's like, yeah, or start a fire. I just, I don't want to be that. So I just would tuck my tail between my legs and be like, all right, cool, nice to meet you. Then we'd move on. Yeah. So yeah. And that happened a couple times. Yeah.

I think the second or third time, then I got upset. And I think I got physical with a guy. And I was kind of like, I gave my handshake. And then he went to give her a hug. And I remember taking my arm and then, like, slam him against a brick wall. and be like, no, dude, you're going too far. But it was positioned to me as another one of the clients. And he was just walking me home to make sure I go home safe after work.

Because we live like a block and a half from the hotel where she worked at because I wanted to be close to work. It was a new big city. We had moved to San Francisco. And I wanted to be safe and feel safe because she was allegedly working late nights on events. Allegedly. I'm sure some were true and then some were not.

And the other one of those where the guy was coming. And I was like, I'm going to go. I haven't seen her in a while. And she said she's coming home at midnight. I have work at 3.30 in the morning. I was like, let me go walk the dogs and see if I can. Because I was always worried, too, about her safety. Because we're in a big city.

And I don't know if she'd get kidnapped or all the worst things. You know, you just start going through your head. Like, oh, my God, is she okay? She's safe. You know, something could have happened between the walk between there to hear. And I'm just nervous. And I remember one time walking with the dogs and it was around midnight. And then a sudden I see because there's nobody on.

It's California Street. It's shut. There is nobody on the street. All you can even, all you can hear is the cable car change. still moving because the cable car went by on our street and you just hear the chains like I can hear it my head now like the chains just like moving on the track and no cable cars inside because they're about to shut it down they're not running anymore and I see at the top of the hill I see her and some dude and I'm like is that? I was like nah I can't be her and so I started

walking up the hill with the dogs I get closer and closer and like oh no that's her and that's a dude and they're really close oh my god and as I get closer I see her kind of be like a like a like a like what and I'm like hey and like hey just oh hey what's going on it's like yeah he's sitting an event at the hotel he just making sure I got home safe because I end up having a drink later with them and all the clients and da-da-da-da and I was oh yeah yeah and then he goes to like give her like a hug and a kiss goodbye like a cheek kiss or whatever and I just immediately remember grabbing taking my arm and putting it on his chest and slamming against one of the apartment buildings and I was like yo dude I was I don't know who you are but you're going a little too much here

and then and then he said something to me and I don't I don't I don't I don't want to hear it. And then I just remember taking the dogs back down the hill and then walking away from her. I mean, like, I don't even care. And that was one of the ones where I was like, all right, this is it. I can't do anymore. And then I think that was actually the night. Oh my God, that was the night because she wasn't a drink.

She was pissed drunk. I mean, she was so drunk that that was the night where she passed out immediately, immediately when she got in bed. Like she was still in her work clothes, passed out, name tag still on from the hotel. And that was the night her phone was blowing up. And that was the night where it turned into the whole Ashley Madison thing. found out she'd been cheating in me this whole time and that was a full rollout. I was like man this freaking girl lied to me so much. You know and I feel like when that time finally comes to you feel

like such a weight off your shoulder she's like dang I'm not crazy. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's that it's that mix of emotions where you're like I'm not crazy. This is also going to really suck. Oh yeah because then I'm like now I also was like I don't want to tell my family yet because what if we work it out because it's a marriage? I'm like it's a marriage even though we're only one you're into it. I was like, I don't want to tell my family yet. And I don't want anyone to think differently about her because my biggest worry was if we ever got through it, then my family would be like, well, screw her. She's a jerk. She did this out and the other. So I never told anyone. So I just kept it to myself. And I was in San Francisco and knew nobody. We just moved there a year

ago. So I had no friend support group. I had some people at work and stuff. But I didn't have like my core friends, my family and had no one around me. So I had to internalize it myself and handle it, but also have the sense of like, don't say anything because you could fit. fix this and then you don't want them to have bad thoughts against her. And then I realized this was never going to work. You know, it's funny you say that because when I finally ended that with the ex that I brought up in that story because he was the abusive one. Yeah.

That I knew when I finally went to my friend and when I went home like earlier than planned. Yeah. I knew what I was doing. Like I knew that this was the end. Oh yeah. And it had to be because I was about to tell everything. And there was no coming back from that. Oh, yeah.

But like to that point, like, it was really when I felt such a very big weight to be like, this is finally over. I can see a light. And I'm, this is going to be really painful. And I'm going to have to face a lot of things that I don't want to. But it was like this, like, just huge, like, okay, everybody finally knows. And I'm. Sigh relief.

I'm not crazy. And this all really happened. and it sucks, but okay, here we are, the other end. Oh, yeah. Instead of in it. Because being in it sucks so much worse. Oh, yeah, the anxiety of every day. Every day they creates this anxiety of just like this pit in your stomach.

Like, what challenges am I going to face today? Is she going to be super drunk and yell at me? Or am I going to see her with another dude again? Like, I just like, I couldn't do more. The emotional toll of that is so strong. It's so not worth it either. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Not to make us keep caught tough. I think it's what makes you stronger. Like Kelly Clarkson said it best. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. That's so true. And look at both of us. We are thriving. Hell yeah.

And not just surviving anymore. Exactly. All those things happened for a reason. And they taught us lessons. I think it gave us more appreciation and to be more grateful in scenarios where we are now where we're like, not saying I wouldn't appreciate my wife now. But I feel like I have a different appreciation towards her because I've had that experience. Well, it probably helped you understand what you're looking for more. Yeah.

That's true too. Yeah. You got to go through the. it is true you got to go through the frogs to find the princess charming prince yeah prince yeah all right well anything you want to add before we jump out of your scobs no i guess we did a pretty good time in this one right we did we're all right on time or how do we do 51 not bad we didn't even hit the hour yet hell yeah i'm really proud of us yeah i'm gonna leave it at that then okay all right well tell the people where they can find you and hear

you oh that's right oh you can find me on instagram and twitter and tic talk but i'm not really on it STV-R-R-I-D-O. And then if you want to, I was so fast, can't even ever hear that. You always say, you know, like, S-U-U-B-A-C-I-C-I-C-I-C-E-R-E-E-R-E-E.

S-U-B-A-S-U-B-A-R-E-R-E-E-R-E-E. It's SCU-B-A-R-E-E-R-E-E-R-E-E. S-U-S. Because that's my favorite is, Scoobs. Like Scoob-D-D-B-S. Who used to call me? scoves back in the day.

It was like an OG friend of mine from San Francisco. He'd be like, scoves. This is why we go an hour. I know because this stuff happens. Scoobs. Oh, I think it was the girl name. I think it was Jenna. Yeah, Jenna was the first person.

No, it was Katrina. Katrina, who's a producer. Or Jenna got messed up with Katrina. Well, Jenna, I think was in that same group too. Katrina, Katrina B, she is the producer and an EP for, you ever, you never, you've ever heard of a girl named Nessa? Uh-uh. So Nessa does all those MTV shows where it's like the aftermath shows.

Oh, like the reunion? She's married to Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for the 49ers. Oh, dang. But now he's the activist, Colin Kaepernick, Nessa. So we used to all work together at Wild Money 4-9 in San Francisco. And Katrina worked with me on a couple other things and then eventually got connected to Nessa. But she was one of the used to always call me Scoobes, like 2009, 2010. She was the first.

So when you say scoobs, when I hear scobs, I think of Katrina immediately. Gracie Award winner, Katrina B. See, I got you. Proud of that girl. That's why I would like to petition for you to now be scoops. Scoobs. And even text would be S-C-O-O-B-Z. Scoobs.

Oh, I always do an S. She did Z. Maybe I need to change it to Z back in the day. Like the Z was a thing. Yeah, now that's not cool. Yeah, yeah. I feel like now. Yeah.

Then you can listen to me on I-Hart 90s. It's on the I-Hart Radio channel. It's all 90s music. It's actually a pretty legit, like, playlist of songs. They're so much fun. And it evokes so much emotion to me, like, listening to those songs, thinking about my childhood and everything. So it's actually really cool.
