You know the taquero from the Bad Bunny halftime show? It was great. It was a big moment. It was special. And I felt like I was really representing my family, you know, my brand, my city. I was representing all taqueros, not only of like, you know, the U.S., but of Mexico and beyond, all the taqueros of the world.

On paper, the three hosts of the Nick Dick & Poll show are geniuses. We can explain how AI works, data centers, but there are certain things that we don't necessarily understand. Better version of Play Stupid Games Win Stupid Prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time.

I actually thought it was. Got that wrong. But hey, no one's perfect. We're pretty close, though. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Part one. Behind the scenes with a member of the show.

What's up, everybody? Happy Weekend. I've got Ray Mundo joining me, Ray. How are you? Yeah. That was kind of a sad one. No, it's a little, it's not as enthusiastic as it typically is. My wife had a little something at the house, sick and cold wise.

So it's affected my voice. But I'm not sick. I'm not sick. Yeah, you got to be careful about with that around here. I'm really not, though. I still have an appetite. Just something with allergies and it made my voice deeper. Maybe I'm just maturing.

Okay. We can roll with that. How old are you? 39, but I mean, maybe you can. They say guys' ears and noses never stop growing. Maybe guys' voices never stop getting deep. and I'm going to have a lunchbox voice. Okay.

You're part of the new study with the voices. Yeah. Well, we do have Super Bowl coming up. Do you have any big plans for the Super Bowl? See, that's a great question because I think now, because I have a staff, before back in the day, I've never really had other audio people doing stuff with me. But the last couple of years, it's evolved where we do have more people here on the team.

So I think I can sleep in more, which means that I can probably watch the Super Bowl. You've never in years past watched the Super Bowl? Typically bet it at half time I never make it the whole game Really? Yeah so I'm sure we'll make food It might just me and my wife We have awesome neighbors

So maybe it's something like that Where you just walk over to their house And they all make all the food So we really just bring ourselves And maybe a 12 pack of alcohol And a dish and it's awesome And then we can just walk back to our house So we'll probably do that

I'm baffled at someone who Love sports and bets a lot that you for years have never finished a complete Super Bowl. And change the narrative on bets a lot. I'm now if futures better, I don't bet on the daily. I do season-long bet. So I will do one bet that typically lasts four to five months. Got it.

Instead of winning... Very sorry, I misspoke. Yes. Instead of in the moment winning $30,000, I hope to win $30,000 over five months. And has that happened yet? No. Okay. But we're hopeful.

Okay. I'm just making sure I didn't miss something. But yeah, I'm into sports, but I always go to bed because of the job. Do you at least watch the halftime show and then you go to bed? I'll do that because we have to pull audio for it. Yeah, and you have to kind of know what happened. Yeah. At least not be totally blindsided by the morning.

It's the worst though, waking up. You never, it's been my last 10 years. Who's the president? Who won the football game? You don't know any of it until the next morning. What? There's a pandemic. Stuff like that.

Okay, so this year might be your first full Super Bowl. Mm-hmm. Maybe. You? What do you do? I don't know. I feel like you have this less, less, stress more life mentality, but I do feel like you, there's a side of you that I don't think

anybody sees and you like to have control over the board situation. So even though we do have more staff and other people to help, I just knowing you, you'll be like, no, it's fine, I'll take care of it. Well, I mean, there has still been some issues. So as much as it seems like I stress out about stuff, there was just the other day, I took a picture of a guy in his shorts and T-shirt, his name's Jeff. He's an engineer. I had to call him at one in the morning because the board messed up. Yeah. Though there would have been dead air nationwide for hours if I wasn't there. I don't give you a hard time for your less stress more alive.

I know that your job is hard. I know that everybody on our show has a job and a role to play. You know, I don't give people a hard time for their jobs, lunchbox. But I understand your stress and I understand where it comes from. But I just say that lovingly. Like I don't know that you're going to be able to let go. Oh no, I let go, girl. That board, some of the stuff it does, it runs on its own.

I let go. I've been sleeping in and it has been awesome. Okay, we're improving. This is huge. The thing about people in their own jobs, people ask me, oh, so what does Morgan really do? I don't know, different departments. It's just like on a football team,

there's a court retardant Super Bowl, quarterback, running back, wide receivers. What does Bones do? I don't know. What does Amy do? I don't really know. She does their own prep. Everybody does their own thing to get ready for the show.

I have no idea what you do. Eddie, the intricacies of him hitting the buttons, lunchbox. I think he just wakes up and. rolls in. But other than that, I have no idea what anybody does to prepare for the show. Yeah. Everybody has a job to play, for sure. And if one of those people was missing, it would be an absolute S show. And when we've had that happen, very rarely. Because you can fill in pretty easily with him. You know, I have been able to fill in for Eddie. But it is funny when I,

the few times I've had to call off work, I barely actually got to like call off work. I was still working from home or wherever I was at based on whatever the situation was. There was only one time when I had COVID, gosh, when it first happened, first hit, and I was homesick, I was like, I can't touch my computer. You guys are on your own. I don't care what happens, but I am miserable. I cannot help you. Outside of Bayer's one-year cancer celebration, not having it in her body anymore trip to Hawaii when I was there for a week. Yeah. As you've noticed, I've never missed a day at work. Because I really can't, because we're so specialized, it would be an unmitigated S show if I wasn't at work. Yeah, like I said, everybody has their specific job and that you notice when they're missing.

Yep. So. What are you doing for the Super Bowl? Honestly, I don't have any plans for the Super Bowl, right? I haven't even thought about it up until this kind of moment where you're like, we might go out with their neighbors. If anybody was wondering if Morgan's single, she is. Because if she has no plans for the Super Bowl, that is a single chick. You know, typically I host a party, though, because I love food.

I love a little food party. Last year, I did a dip party for the Super Bowl. everybody brought a dip. I just haven't thought about it this year. And I don't really have a desire to go watch the Super Bowl. I feel like the Super Bowl is the game that you watch at people's houses. It's not the game you go to a bar for. Correct.

So I don't really have a desire to go to a bar and watch it. I might just, you know, be at home. I might see what a few friends are doing and make some food. I don't know. Yeah, you're right, though. There's different sporting events where, oh, you've got to go to a bar for this. Super Bowl, that's House party. It is.

I feel like if you go watch the Super Bowl at a bar, It either has to be your favorite bar and your favorite food, and there's a really good reason. But not often do I actually see a lot of the bars busy at Super Bowl time. If you go to a bar on Super Bowl Sunday, it's saying, I don't have any friends, I don't have a house, and I am homeless. Because that's what I used to do when I was homeless. When you were living up here, that's where you were at. Speaking of your home, what's the latest update on Ray, Country Life? Country Life. Well, we took down our Christmas lights.

my father-in-law comes down, he invented this device where he was able to just rip him down from the ground. It was a paintbrush, but it was two of them stuck together. So it was 15 feet in the air. And then the paintbrush was on the very end, one of those rollers. And then all you do with the new clip-ons we had talked about, I don't know if it was on this podcast or off-air. But there's clip-ons now where you don't staple lights to your house. And so it's just, and you've even said, don't you leave the clip-ons on your house? Yeah.

Well, my dad found like a new strategy, but yeah, it's stapling. it doesn't really have to be a staple anymore. Now you can do all a different version. Yeah, so there's all these clip-ons. And my father-in-law rolled the paintbrush along the top of the house, and it would just pop all the lights off. And then we just go retrieve them, and it took 15 minutes. Dang.

We did that. Dude, your father-in-law comes in clutch for you all the time. Yeah, he's so awesome. I see him on a lot of your guys' Instagram stories. Like, he's at your guys' house doing something new. And he's so respectful, too, because he knows I nap in the afternoon. So he'll just start doing a project. I'm like, oh, my gosh, are we getting broken into?

what is this, an earthquake? I go outside and he's got a paintbrush, removing all the lights. I'm like, bro, I'm going to help you. Just hit me up with a text. I'm not going to let my 70-year-old father-in-law do this by himself. And he's just rocking and roll and comes over with a box truck. What was it yesterday? You're like, oh, yeah, I'll help you.

And I said, I don't know, Ray, I've seen your father-in-law do a lot of your stuff. He does it all. You had offered to help me with something. I don't remember what we were talking about. But that was like my first initial reaction was just, I'm sure you, you're capable of it, but what I have seen is that your father-in-law does just about all of your house stuff. Oh, he does. I just assist

him with lifting things, getting whatever he may need, maybe a drill gun, something's charging, I got it. But me and him also can lift stuff together because his back at one point wasn't good. Now it's amazing after his surgery. He went and had back surgery, so he's even stronger than me. He hits a golf ball 300 yards.

But we were coming over to your house for Bayer's podcast with you. And I go, hey, anything you need me to do? But I really don't know how to do too much. Yeah. You definitely have a really great crutch. And he's in construction and stuff, so it makes sense. But it's just funny.

I wonder if, have you ever asked him, like, what do you think of the fact that I always have you do stuff instead of me? He knows that I'm more in a white collar type industry where I'm, he knows I don't know how to do a lot of that stuff. And it's my own fault. My dad maybe would have taught me as a kid, but a lot of it my dad just did on his own. Oh, it's just fast for me to do it. You guys just watch.

And he would just do it. I was around all kinds of stuff as a kid We did all kinds of projects I just never did it on my own Yeah And I think he understands But he's there to help But there also are projects

Where he knows that hey you That I can knock it out Like I've had to hang these two TVs And he hasn't done it Because I'm pretty sure he's like Okay you can find a stud You got the bracket You can hang these two wall TVs

It's on you So I should probably do that project I was gonna say about have you done it yet No because we had to get a Roku stick because there are TVs we got from the old studio and they're not smart TVs so the Roku makes them smart. Are they going somewhere in like your new

dudes den? Dudes den. I have two TVs in there. There could now be a third TV in there and then I also got to hang one on the patio because if it gets weathered and weather damage, if it gets ruined I don't care. It's from the old studio is going to get thrown away anyways. Yeah. So I'm going to stick one of those out there. Okay. But it's on the side of my house. How many TVs did you get from the old studio? A couple. Okay. I'm hearing

a lot of them. And this is a lot of TVs. Are you guys in like a ranch style house? Like it's all one level? No, there's two levels. There's two levels. But it is spread out. So where is your dude din? Upstairs. Upstairs. Okay. And is Laura allowed in the dude din? Yeah, the cats in the dude den. Bazer's in the dude den. There's way too many people in the

dude. I thought it was supposed to be just me. But yeah, we're getting ready for the summer stuff. We got to get with this dude and get our grass green. It kind of went brown. We're the only people in the entire neighborhood with brown grass. How is that even possible, though? We've had horrible weather. How has anybody kept up with their lawn? Not that, but they properly did whatever you got to do, fertilizer and stuff. I guess we didn't put enough money into it.

I guess it's like hundreds and hundreds of dollars you got to put into your grass. Yeah. We kind of just went to Home Depot and Ace and threw some seed on the ground. And it worked at first. But then the first time we had our cold snap, it all turned brown. And everybody else in the neighborhoods is green. We're like, oh, I called my father-in-law, Phil. I'm like, Gary, Gary, our whole grass went brown.

What should we do? He's like, we got to get some fertilizer. I'm on it. See, that's what's hard. Like, I have to call my dad all the time for lawn help. I'm like, what do I do with this? And I hate, I hate keeping up with the yard. If there's one thing I don't like as a homeowner is the fact of that you have to every season do something new to keep up with that yard. You need a man.

I was out in the yard the other day. It was watering. I was putting out our ferns. I think it's now time. If it's in the 50s, I'm putting the ferns back out. So now I'm curious, are the ferns going to be green? Did they die over the winter? So all my plants are out.

I'm starting to water. I'm starting to see, oh, maybe we need a little bit of mulch right here. You need a man. Wait, okay. I'm proud of you because we might not be able to do the construction and the things in the house. But it sounds like you've taken over the outside. Yeah, because my dad at his job, he was a procurement manager. So he knows all kinds of trees, perennials, wind of water.

If you need to put stuff in the garage, plants, water, fertilizer, put it on your hose and you can spray them twice a year and it gives them extra nutrients. Okay, so you see, you got the outside at least. Yes. I was just seeing what you contributed to the whole party. He's giving you a hard time. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Life on the other side of the hill is giving grown-up vibes, But over here on my podcast, Untraditionally Lala, I'm still that Lala you either love or love to hate. I've been full on over sharing with fans, family,

and former frenemies like Tom Schwartz. I had a little bone to pick with Schwarzy when he came on the pod. You don't feel bad that you told me I was a bootleg housewife? I almost flipped a pizza in your lap. Oh my God, I literally forgot about that until just now. Sorry, I don't want to blame alcohol. I got to blame that one on the alcohol. This is about laughing and learning when life just keeps on life in.

Because I make mistakes so that you guys don't have to. We're growing, we're thriving, and yes, sometimes we're barely surviving, but we do it all with love.

I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I said, hi, Dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen. And she says, I have some cookies and milk.

This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at them all. Yeah.

We are on it every day, all day. Follow us, Amy and TJ for news updates throughout the day. Listen to Amy and TJ on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

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

There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Speaking of your family, your dad and everything, you went home to Michigan for the holidays.

That was last second. We were going to hang out. And then we had an invite from our buddy Billy in Texas. He goes, hey, come roll with me to Austin. Let's get drunk for a week. and I go, Beezer. We got to go home to my parents, but it's such an expensive flight because they live right next to Canada.

And you basically have to take a private flight in there. Like multiple flights to get there. That's kind of how it works. And so I said, we got to go home. And we did totally out of budget. We're supposed to live below our means. We're way over budget, folks. We're not spending any money the rest of the year now, but we were able to go home.

And I'm happy we made that decision instead of getting S-Faced in Austin for six days. So was the request to get drunk in Austin what sparked you to say, no, we should probably go home or were you already thinking about going home? Well, it's just that catch 22 of I'm a companion pass from Southwest. So I fly free wherever in the country. But when we fly home, there's no companion pass because there's no Southwest. So we both have to buy flights, which ends up being thousands of dollars. How can you, is there not like a way for you to fly in on Southwest somewhere and then get a connecting flight on another one? I know that's probably more work, though.

Yeah, I don't know. That's actually a great question. Because I know Southwest flies to Detroit. Right, but Detroit's nine hours from where I live. So, but then could you take a different flight from Detroit to there? It's such a small city I live in. Yeah. That flight is expensive regardless. Got it.

So that's what it is probably. Okay. Bayser looks at all the angles. But yeah, so. You know what I'm thinking about? Have you seen the movie The Proposal? Probably. And Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bollick.

Mm-hmm. So they go to his hometown in Canada or whatever, and they have to take multiple different things. That's what I'm picturing. That is it. Your home. Watch the proposal. That's my house.

They live on an island, right? But I'm picturing this type of travel to get to your place is how you're describing it. So that's how we got to the conclusion. Let's go to Michigan. We'll recover within the first quarter. Okay. And you're glad you went. Yeah.

But then we had to do the thing where we did freezer roulette where we had to eat stuff out of the freezer. That's how we were able to cut back for the whole month. Because we're trying to get the money back for. from those flights. So we've been playing freezer roulette, okay? Okay. Okay. What's been the best thing out of freezer roulette?

Oh, mozzarella sticks are always money. Nice. So many pizzas in there that we're just like small ones that you just never eat. Those are good. We did stir fry. The great good good? Yeah, combined.

We did stir fry all kinds of mysteries in your freezer. And you realize, don't ever get stuffed and put it in your freezer because you never eat it. Really? I eat my freezer food all the time. So dumb. You should never get freezer food because you never, it just sits there for a year. Well, I get stuff from Trader Joe's freezer food. And that I always use because it's pastas and stuff and it's easy to make. You just throw it on and it's ready to go. And you don't ever make your freezer food normally? No. What we learned, no.

Okay. You learned to know and now you're going to start making freezer stuff. But it was dope going home, going home seeing Michigan. I had been there recently, but typically we'd been to meet my family in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Flint, other places that aren't as far and we could fly southwest. So this was Bayeser's first time going back there seven years. Really? Yeah. And we said this is the last time. We'll see you guys in another seven years. Just because it's so expensive or because... Not a lot to do. It's out in the middle of nowhere. The reason I moved away from there

is because there's nothing to do. But I thought with Michigan, you have the lakes. They have really pretty winters with snow. You kind of have a combination of all things. I've always heard great things about Michigan. They do, they do, but it's just, Michigan is beautiful, but the town my father decided to live in isn't the greatest town. And the only reason we live there

is because it was right close to the lumber mill. We had four other cities we could have lived in, and us kids chose all the other ones, and my dad picked the one that was right next to the lumber mill, and it's the ugliest, most depressing. There's one gas station, nothing goes on there. People go there to just die.

So I'm not running to go home. Got it. But my parents come down here all the time and there's other places. We meet up. We'll go meet up in East Tennessee, Phoenix. We went and met up. So it's not like I'm not seeing my parents. I'm a good son.

I know you're a good son. I'm just following the Michigan thing. What is your favorite city in Michigan? It would have to be one right along Lake Michigan. I'm on Lake Superior up there. Give me Traverse City. my grandparents used to live in before they pass in Grand Rapids. That's beautiful. That area over there.

I mean, because it's all American Pie, whatever you saw when they play football on the beach, that's Lake Michigan. That's all right there. So Grand Haven. Give me Grand Haven. So there's cool areas of Michigan. It's just where you were living, you know, not so much. Final answer, Grand Haven. Okay. Grand Haven. Can you get to Grand Haven easily?

Can you get to Grand Haven on Southwest? You'd probably fly to Grand Rapids, but I don't know if that's southwest, and then you'd have to drive an hour to the lake, Grand Haven. I feel like most lakes you always have to drive to. There's never an air, like Table Rock, going to Table Rock. If I were to want to go to that or Lake of the Ozarks, which is in Arkansas and Missouri, both of those, anytime you fly into somewhere, you'd have to drive to get to the lake

because there's never really airports by lakes. Great point. Lake Tahoe, my buddy's trying to get me to go there for the Super Bowl. Beezer said no. Turned it down. and I'm pretty sure it's a flight and then a drive. Lake Tahoe. There's no lakes next to an airport. Yeah, I wonder if there's anywhere that that's the case.

And if so, I wonder why this is not a thing. Mm-hmm. Because I think more people would go to the lakes. Otherwise, you just road trip to them. It always is a road trip if somebody says a lake. Yeah. And yeah, that was the same. Like, we always went to Table Rock growing up,

and it was like a six-hour road trip from Wichita. So far. So far, but it's so much fun. Our limit is about three hours. You don't even like a road trip? I do like a road trip. trip, and we've done that before. We drove to Panama City, me and Bays, there's seven hours, but three is good. We did Knoxville. We did Lexington. Those are good three-hour drive.

Chicago, six hours, so. Yeah, but it's a cool city that's six hours away. I mean, I know the flight is 45 minutes or an hour, but like if you can't take a flight, that's not that bad. With our jobs, though, I don't have three weeks to go take a leisurely drive. Listen, Ray, I drive home to Kansas every year at the holidays. 11 hours. And you're getting close. 11 hours. Not a lot of time off.

No. Those are two days lost. Yeah. That's why I get up at like 3 a.m. and I go. Then I'm getting there by like 2 p.m. So it's not horrible. But 11 hours.

That's where it gets long for me. I think that's why six hours doesn't seem that bad to me. I'm like road trip in 11 hours with a dog and a cat that's roaming. Yep. When you guys road trip, do you ever bring your cat? Let's see. No. No.

No. Would you? No. No, because we got our, we have so much family by where we live. We got, they always are at our house when we're out of town. So you don't even have to. This is also why you don't have to road trip. Like a cat takes care of itself, but my mother-in-law will be there every single day for eight hours to play with the cat.

Well, that's a cool cat. It's awesome. What about when you get a dog, though? Because I know this is coming. I don't know. We're not getting a dog yet. Is that because of you? Because I know if Laura how our way.

We don't have a fence. but if Laura had her way, you guys would have had a dog like five years ago. We don't have a fence, and I'll hang up and listen. Are you going to put in a fence so Laura can get the dog that she wants? Here's the thing. We have a huge property. I think it would look weird if we did just a... I guess people just do backyard fences. They don't do a fence around their whole house. No, you can just do a backyard fence. Heck, you could even just do a side fence if you wanted to.

I'm pretty sure that costs $20,000. Well, you do have a really great father-in-law who has seemed to. help you with about everything else. He does help with a lot, but it still costs money. It does cost money. And money takes more time at work. And I don't want any more time at work. I want time at home. So therefore, we will not get a

dog. You know, we did learn this. When Bobby said, you asked for a promotion, is this a true story? That's the weirdest story ever. He goes, Ray, I offered him a promotion. Do you see what Steve goes through every day? When he's running through the hallway with his laptop asking Bones about four proposals, and Bones gives him one

word answers, all pass. Was that the promotion that you were getting offered at one point? I guess. If it was offered to me, it was in just such a casual way. And I go, I would never want the headache of getting done with my job, because now we have more assistance and stuff, so it is more manageable. Back in the day, I would have had to have done so much audio. And then after that, I have to do email work. And then a 20-minute conversation with Bones about proposals where he turns me down and says no and tells me that was a bad idea. and terrible, you're bad, bye?

No! No! Why would I ever do that? Your body just got a little more tense. Good God. Do you ever see that? It's the worst. Scoob's like, Boone, can I talk to you for a second? They're going down the hallway, downstairs, and he's yelling proposals at him.

You know, would you ever? I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I have Scooba, though. I feel like Scooba always adds an extra layer of emergency to some things. He has this like urgent. I don't know how to explain it. He adds a little bit of like whether it's, it's an emergency or like it's urgent. He has this like hustle to it sometimes.

I don't, do you know what I'm talking about that? But I will tell you he has people then pressure in him. He's got the the R's and the J's and the J's hitting him saying, hey, I need answers on this. I know. And he does. But it's so funny. I like watching him because he can go from like a level two to a level 10 real quick. He has to

Yeah, he does That's the shift that I've seen Yeah But I don't know how to explain that I wish I had that level of urgency sometimes with things Otherwise I just am like yeah never mind I'll figure out later Sometimes you got to get answers on stuff

That's true but not for you He said he emails Amy and she doesn't email him back He's got to get answers But guess what? I don't email Amy I don't have to get answers Because I don't want to be the executive producer You really hate emails No

I like them when they're manageable. Okay. I used to, but people think, oh, spam emails. Yeah, I hate my spam emails. No, no, no, guys, I would wake up to 30 emails every morning from Bones, and it would be 30 things that had projects that had to get done before 5 a.m. Try that stress on for size and let me know how that works out. Yeah. Now, we're still talking about Scuba's job, right?

But with Scuba's job, same thing, emails out the wazoo. You're not an email guy. You're also not even like a texting guy though either. Anytime I've texted you, it's been either one word or just you send me whatever I need. There's no like. Yeah. I've narrowed texting down to. I guess I just used to text a hit on chicks, you know?

Now that I'm married, I'm like, what's the point of texting? Just. And also my parents. All communication with everybody. No, no, no. My parents and family are now into texting. I'm like, guys, that was popular 15 years ago. I'm almost over the phase of texting now, and they're in the heat of it.

They do these family text threads 100 deep. and I'm at work. I'm like, what do they talk about? What are these 100 texts? Do you just ignore all of them or do you go back through them? I'll go back when I'm chilling at home on a Friday night. I'll read through them all. It'll be, let's say, Valentine's Day.

And I'll be like, oh, hey, Aunt Cherry, everything looks good. That looks like it was a fun Christmas. I'll hit her back two months after. When I can sit down and look at the pictures and read the comments and enjoy it and appreciate it. Because what I found is, if I'm sitting at a red light, scrolling through friends' text messages, I wasn't actually like putting them into my head.

That's fair. It's not comprehending. It's like retaining. I wasn't retaining anything. And they'd be like, you hear my funny comment, but what was he you said? Now,

if I really want to read something, I sit down, I read it, I laugh and I retain it. And I go, Justin, I remember when you text me that, that was so funny.

Otherwise, I get back to them. Like right now, there's probably 20 texts from Billy and Danny and I'll get back to these guys. Look at these idiots. Bet slips from last night.

I'll get back to them. I'll get back to him. This right here is, going around the internet. I guess it's a hamburger and if you look at it, it kind of looks like Steve Harvey. You know, I don't get that one. But guess what?

I haven't fully looked at it and I haven't retained it and appreciated it. So guess what? No response. They'll get a response in three days. I really love the look inside of your brain. Just understanding how it works. It's funny. Everybody's different. Everybody has their different ways of doing things. And you're right. When I'm

moving so fast and I'm responding to things, I'm really not retaining a lot of stuff. That's why my brain, when I'll play easy trivia, I'm like, I don't know. Yes, I know this answer somewhere deep inside my brain, but right now, there's 80 million other things up here, and that is not one of them. If you don't write it down, you'll never remember that. Yeah, that stuff's hard. It's funny.

It's funny looking at your little brain. Mm-hmm. Your little brain, my little. No, yeah, your little brain. They're all little. Oh, okay. That's more what I was trying to say. I was the same year of a little brain.

That sounded weird when it came out. Okay, one more quick break. We'll be right back. Hello, gorgeous, it's Lala Kent. Host of Untraditionally Lala. My days of filling up cups at sir may be over, but I'm still loving life in the valley. Life on the other side of the hill is giving grown-up vibes,

but over here on my podcast, Untraditionally Lala, I'm still that Lala you either love or love to hate. I've been full on over sharing with fans, family, and former frenemies like Tom Schwartz. I had a little bone to pick with Schwarzy when he came on the pod. You don't feel bad that you told me I was a bootleg housewife? I almost flipped a pizza in your lap. Oh my God, I literally forgot about that until just now.

Sorry, I don't want to blame alcohol. I got to blame that one on the alcohol. This is about laughing and learning when life just keeps on life in. Because I make mistakes so that you guys don't have to. We're growing, we're thriving, and yes, sometimes we're barely surviving. But we do it all with love. It's unruly, it's unruly, it's untraditionally la la. Listen to Untraditionally Lala on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

I'm going to have cookies and milk at my mom. Yeah. On the Ceno Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption.

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 one. 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities,

they fail. And what I mean by 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have to 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. We're going to go into some fun, random question topics, kind of spit fire, if you will. but because we were just talking about work and all the craziness, I wanted to give you a second here to talk about your disdain for our new dress code. Your use of words, not mine. Dislike, I would say.

Distain is just such a hateful word. Distain, really? Allow me to say this. I entered into this industry, the radio industry, long, long ago, because guys wore hoodies and backwards hats and sweatpants, and sandals. And I said, this is the coolest industry I've ever seen. Bones was in the hallway, one of my first days when I worked with a sports station,

didn't even, had never met Bones, had heard the show on the radio, knew of the show, didn't even know Bones was in my same building. And here comes this dude, Bobby Bones, wearing sandals, sweats, a hoodie. I'm like, this is what I want to do the rest of my life. This is so cool. smash cut to 2025 and we get the inner office memo not an inner office inner show memo because it wasn't from corporate no guys

we now need to wear pants to work and clothes-toed shoes hoodies are allowed but never again can you wear yoga pants joggers leisure wear ath leisure and I said This is the end of an era.

Let's just take a moment to appreciate how awesome that was to dress like crap for the past 15 years. It is. It is the end of an era. And a lot has changed. I'm wearing pants. I got gray jeans on right now. You know, seeing you in jeans every day is a weird experience. You got jeans on right now.

I do. I do. And listen, when we always had guests and I would always dress up and have that. But yeah, I for sure loved my legging days because there are some days where, I was so tired and we come in so early that I was just like, I don't want to dress up today. It's a lot of effort for this freaking early in the morning. My brain isn't even awake yet. I had wind pants.

I had guy joggers. I had golf pants, which I think probably are acceptable now. I had the most comfortable leisure wear of all time. And every morning I'd wake up and go, man, some of my friends got to put on suits and ties, three-piece suits. Look at me. I'm just rocking a hoodie. go into a pretty respectable job. Like, people would kill to get into this industry.

And then I look on TV, people are wearing suits and dresses. And I say, how much that sucked to dress like that? I remember at my wedding. Dang, right, you put that in the universe for us. I mean, when you had to dress up for your, I was going to say wedding, but never mind. That was a bad example. Well, I've had to dress up for a bunch of weddings. Okay. Thank you.

It's so miserable because I never wear that stuff. I don't want to wear that stuff. This isn't Wall Street. I'm not a president of the United States. Suits are fine. I'm just never been a big fan. My parents used to always make us dress up on Sundays, and we had to wear the nicest clothes, and I hated it.

So maybe I've just always been revolting against that that I don't ever want to have to dress up like that. I really don't even have a wife always says, you need more ties. I don't want to dress like that. I would enjoy my life. And now we've got to start wearing pants and looking respectable. I love his rant.

it went from suits and dyes to wearing pants. So I get it. Trust me. Listen, like I saw the text and I was bummed because I really enjoy my legging days. And my days that I'm very tired and I don't want to dress up and put together an outfit. But I also get it at the same time. There's a level here.

But. But, and then here's what hasn't been brought up. When do you communicate the best when you're comfortable and relaxed? Yeah, it's true. And our hours are different than your typical nine to five banker. So that's kind of why we. we dressed with joggers because you're going to communicate the absolute best possible way when you're chilling and living just a relaxing life.

Maybe you're a little more uptight in jeans. Maybe we're not going to be as funny in jeans. And guess what? I hope that happens because then we will go back to wind pants and joggers and it'll be awesome. It is true. Nobody responded in our group thing besides me and I was like, guys, we can't even get our temperature in the room figured out. how are you going to tell me how to dress when you don't even know if it's going to be Antarctica or the Sahara Desert? Great point.

And it was like, well, it's been fixed. I was like, but has it? Because I don't know that it has. Maybe in the studio, maybe not everywhere else. But has it because I'm wearing a stocking cap today. Freaking cold in the classroom. But yeah, nobody responded to it besides me asking that question. And I was like, okay, I guess it's fixed.

We'll figure it out. They come at me for my stocking cap. I'm going to be like, no. Not when it's 60 degrees in the glass room. I'm wearing a damn stocking cap. That's the one thing you're going to hold on to. You're going to make me wear jeans, but a stocking cap is not going to be taken away. Right. Draw the line.

Okay. I wanted to give you the space to talk about that. Do you feel a little better now? That was good. Okay, good. I'm glad. We got it off our chest. I was talking to a resident at the retirement home when Remy and I were visiting, and it was her 99th birthday. Wow. And she was so with it, so communicative, like just, you would have never known this woman was

99 years old. So I asked her what her secret to this long life was, and she said, exercising and volunteering. The two things that made her always feel really good and good for the soul, good for the health, all those things. What do you feel like your thing is going to be when you get older and somebody asks you, what is the key to your long, great life? Interests in the future and community. You can't go through this life alone because we've all had that point in our life where you didn't have any friends. I remember I moved to Texas. I had one friend. So when I went to all my classes, I didn't know anybody. And my apartment, I didn't know anybody. So you know that feeling when you have nobody. It's not a good feeling.

Community feels like that's how you're supposed to live this life. So I'd say that's the number one thing. And then something to the future. Right now, my future's parlay. I look. I look. I look. I look. No, it's going to be, oh, I hope I can get outside and go to the park. today. But you have to look forward to something. So those are my two things. Community and look forward to something. And then a belief in God, I would have met, you know, that gives you just such a warm feeling that you're, that there's like a greater good in this planet and whatever bad thing you're going through. There is like a loving God. So I would say those three things. Okay. Hey, I'm very proud of you. This is like, you came up with that on the spot. Yeah. And I mean, you don't really experience that until you go to church and then you're just like, oh man, like, you probably should have God in your life.

Like, that really does make you feel a lot better. Okay. So those are my three things. I love this for you. She only gave me two, but thanks for three. Yes. The two that I came up with are not as introspective as yours. You did really good on that.

Mine were pets and good food. It was just more simple. Like, you have pets in your life. You're going to feel loved all the time. And you're going to back to your thought of, like, community. Pets just bring a different spice to your life that I don't feel like a lot of things can. And they also give you a lot of perspective all. the time. Agree. And then good food. It's good for your body. It makes you feel good. And also,

you can have soul food, which makes you just feel good when things are bad. So having good food all the time is good for you. You definitely do that good food. You're always rocking a restaurant. I'll be like, hey, what about the Zembers place? You said, bomb food. Great place. Go there. Yeah, that's what Scoob and I were having a little meeting yesterday. We were updating our notes app with all of our recent things we visited. We like to do that. Okay, that's one. What would you be an ambassador of? So we see ambassadors for things like cities and states, but what would you be an ambassador of maybe something you really, really love? It can be the most random thing. I would say almost getting involved with kids like when they're in high school, because honestly,

when I made that jump from high school to college, it was such a jump. And I don't necessarily, I mean, I didn't need college to get to this job. Yeah, journalism is a different world for sure. So you need more experience than you need a degree. And I've already kind of been an ambassador. I don't know if this is answering your question, but with my two nephews, so every day I reach out to him, I'm like, because my one nephew, he's, what is he? Boomer's 17. I believe my other one is 12 to 14.

Dang, I need to know there. I need to be an ambassador of learning their ages. But he's kind of started to hate school a little bit. And I got it. And I keep telling him, I'm like, dude, school sucked for everybody. Everybody. And I can tell you life is so much better after school. We just got to get through it.

So I feel like there's that jump from middle school to high school to college. Kids just need maybe not their parents because their parents kind of be like authoritarian. You got to have somebody you can reach out to. So I've been trying to be there for my nephews and like, hey, let's go. What's the next thing? What are you thinking of? Are we getting you guys into video editing? Trying to get them to be my little video editors.

Get a little pushback. How's that working out for you? I just texted a 17 year old the other day. I was like, you have effectively been fired from my video editing because you don't respond to my text. You are the ambassador for the in-between. Yes. I like this. This is really good.

That's also really good for your nephews. And a good reminder if anybody has nephews of that kind of in-between spaces. You, the ambassador for single living. Right. You throw me off every time. I am an ambassador for living your best life regardless of your situation, for sure. But, I mean, what I was going to go ambassador of, was volunteering. I wish more people volunteered.

Yeah. I think it, I, every time, like Remy and I go somewhere, I have had just multiple perspectives that I wouldn't have if I wouldn't be in that situation. I think you just see life differently and you experience so many different types of people that it really opens your eyes and the littlest things don't seem so important anymore. Vives. So I wish more people would, it's hard. It's hard, right? You have so many things that you have to do in a day-to-day life and you have a job and you need to make food for yourself and exercise and socialize and take care of your partner and the list goes on.

Volunteering is always going to be low on that list because it takes a lot of effort and energy to do something that's totally outside of your norm. But it's so important and so rewarding, especially if you find something that you're just super passionate about. For sure, rewarding. So that one, but thank you for also my single life. I was going to say you put a good face on it. Like, it seems awesome.

Oh, thank you. that makes me feel good. Okay. I want to tell you something funny that happened. And then I want you to tell me your trend that you started. So I had, I got my Apple Watch, which I was really excited about getting. Ray, I had to stop wearing it on dates, though. You want to know why? Shows like if your heart's going more. No, but that's funny too. But no, my hinge matches would pop up on there while I would be on a date. The worst. And it'd be like a picture of a dude because it's for some reason how it shows up

and I haven't sat down and messed with it how to get the notifications to stop popping up but literally I was on a date with a guy he goes to the bathroom and the bartender comes up to me and she goes hey there's a heads up I keep seeing like like hinge things pop up on your watch The worst

and I was like oh my God that's so awkward and she's like yeah just a heads up so I took it off and I jumped in my purse went on with the date and you know now I can't wear it Get this watch away from me Is that weird? What would you do if you're on a date with somebody?

I think it was fair. It was the Wild West. You knew when you're dating somebody on those apps that they're dating other people too. I don't think it's really strict. Okay. You wouldn't feel weird about it? No, I think you joked around about it. Oh, you got on another Tinder date?

Like, you got them lined up. You're just dating. Yeah. Okay. That makes me feel a little bit better. But I did panic and now I haven't been wearing it off my dates. Yeah, that's wild that it just shows up and the face too. You're like...

Yeah, it's like the whole first picture. And I'm like, okay, go away. Okay, tell me about... A chick pops up. Like, ma'am, is there something we need to talk about? Tell me about your trend. You're talking about how Eddie thinks he started the Hawaiian shirt trend. Yeah, he said in high school, he did flip-flops in Hawaiian shirts,

and then the next day, within a week, everybody at his school started wearing Hawaiian shirts. So my idea was, as a prep idea, I said, what is a trend you started? And so for me, I'm going to say, Stevenson Ranch, it's my boy Mike Stud, he created the company. It's a fake ranch. It doesn't exist. It's just this in your mind. Just like, it's like Yellowstone, you know? Like Yellowstone, yeah, there's the theme.

But Yellowstone doesn't really exist. I get it's a, it's a state of mind. Okay. You get that point. Got it. So people watch Yellowstone. I mean, the physical Yellowstone is like some Yellowstone National Park. Yeah, Yellowstone National Park.

And Yellowstone the TV show are nothing of the same. Correct. But it's just like the mindset of Yellowstone. Well, the mindset of Stevenson Ranch is just this make-believe ranch, dude. And so, but my boy created it, okay? Let me get back to my point. So I started wearing the Stevenson Ranch, SR. I have all these hats that say SR.

I swear within a month, every major artist was wearing it. Kane Brown, Bailey Zimmerman, Ernest, every single one. Travis Kelsey, Kill a Trab, Taylor Swift. She doesn't, but Travis Kelsey is with her and he wears it. All these people wear it. I was there at the infancy. I wore Stevenson Ranch before anybody. Okay.

And do you feel like you influenced any of these artists like when they came in and you had it on? You were part of that trend. You know the answer to that. No, you have to answer it. Jackie that works with us? What does she wear? I don't know. I haven't seen it.

Stevenson Ranch Hat. Okay. She got that from me, girl. I started the trend. Okay. I can afford with this one, but you know, I'm going to let you say in this Delulu's face, and I think it's great for you. Do you have one? I don't have a trend, like fashion trend like that, but I would have...

Bags? I did get some people to dig out banks. All right. That was the thing. I had a lot of people that did. I also, you know, had a lot of jerks who hated them. But I would say beyond the bangs, because that was a little moment of time. I started the saying words are hard.

Like I say that a lot on, because I mess up words all the time. I would say you started that. Yeah. And I'm like, words are hard. Words are hard. That was the thing. Words are hard. I'm pretty sure you can hear the inception of that phrase on Best Bits when Best Bits first started.

Words are hard. Yeah, words are hard. So I'm sure somebody else said it before me or something or rather, but at least in the trend of people around, like, words are hard. You started it. We'll just stay Dulu. Okay, we're going to jump out of here before Ray and I keep getting Delulu on more particular topics. But Ray, thanks for being here. Of course.

Tell the people where they can find you here, all. I think I'm obligated to do it, but yeah, happy to be here.
