Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The best bits of the week with Morgan. Part one. Behind the scenes with a member of the show.

What's up, everybody? Happy weekends. Steve's joining me. We were just sitting in here talking about Vertigo. I probably should have just turned the mics on. It's okay, though. You'll never get to hear it, and we're not going to repeat it, so sorry. No.

You know, it's good to have personal and professional moments. It's great. The mic is professional. That was our personal moment. Exactly. Helping each other with medical problems. Exactly. As we age, we fall apart.

That is the truth of aging. You get your privilege to age, but man, does it kind of suck to also age? Oh my God, yeah, because even this morning I woke up, and I've been sleeping for the longest time where one of my most comfortable positions is where I will sleep on my right side, but I put my right arm up underneath the pillow. And so I have like this thing where it's arm pillow and then into my head and it creates like this like nice little thing around my neck that feels good. But when I wake up in the morning, I have this like sharp shooting.

pain right in like that I call my angel wings where it's like uh well I don't know what the real name for it is I know what you're talking about those muscles that like where an angel wing would be exactly yeah I feel like there's like there's like a bone there or something when you're moving in and somewhere there it's like someone's taking a knife and just shoving it in there and they're just twisting it and turning it and they're lighting it on fire and it hurts so bad right now you do realize you're sleeping in that position for like seven hours I know it's yeah exactly but I do toss and turn a little bit more, but then I'll go back into that position. But I never had that problem when I was like 17 or 19 or 25.

Yeah, you could sleep with your head cranked and you'd wake up and be like, yeah, it's fine. Exactly. Grab me a beer. The things that have been are much different. I've been sleeping with a pregnancy pillow lately. Oh, really? Okay. I had to buy, no, gosh, no.

It's for the vertigo. I know. So you have to like kind of sleep sitting up and I couldn't find anything to be comfortable because I'm a stomach or a side sleeper. And I've been having to sleep on my back, really. Yeah. And this pregnancy pillow, man, it shouldn't just be for pregnant people. This thing is amazing.

That's the one that goes between your legs, right? So it's a U shape and you can move it in between your legs. But it's like surround your whole body. Yes, yeah. We have one of those when my life was pregnant the first time. Yeah. They're amazing. Oh my gosh.

Why don't more people sleep with these? They should not be a pregnancy thing. This should be a pillow. Like I get that it's for that. Oh, yeah, yeah. But anyone can use it. Yeah, especially because it does put you in a nice position to where if you like to sleep sort of like, I guess, unconventional.

Because you're supposed to sleep, like, flat. Like you're in like an almost like a vessel. Like a coffin. Exactly, coffin. It's best for your spine and for your alignment and everything, which I try to sleep that way. But then it's just not as comfortable as on your side. Nothing is comfortable about back sleeping.

No, nothing. Yeah, but you have to. So we try and then we fail. But those pillows make it easier and make it feel more comfortable when you're sleeping in the weird ways we do. Exactly. And then you can be in weird positions and not have a cranked thing. Exactly.

If you're 45 years old. Exactly. I'm not 45 years old? I was exaggerating it. I know you're not. You're still in your 30s. You're doing okay. But, you know, your body's acting like you're 45 years old.

Yeah, yeah, I'm not 65. Oh, my God. Well, see, then I made you young. Oh, yeah, exactly. So thank you, sort of. Being up your wife, I do want to know how Valentine's Day went. What did you guys do for Valentine's Day? It was great.

I'm trying to think. So normally our tradition has been, and mostly when we used to live back in the West Coast because we were around her family a lot. We started a tradition of always doing Valentine's Day as like a, like a community thing a lot because most of her aunts or titas their husbands have passed or whatever and so we would all get together because we all live in the same block in california up the state it was uh antioch california not the antioch here different antioch yeah pittsburg antioch out of the east people know people know people know where that is right there down the four the freeway lots of traffic

okay lunchbox we don't need all the details of where antioch is give me back to the valentine's day so we would always do like a communal valentine's day where we would go to like Costco and get like lobster or tails and really good cuts of steak and like they would all the tea doesn't make some sort of Filipino food like they make like karekare or they make okoi or they'd make some sort of adobe or some really good food and it would pair well with what my wife and I are making which is more like an American side dish or a little surf and turf and whatever maybe some pasta um I always like I know all of those names of all of those sound cool yeah they don't know what they are but they sound awesome oh man it's really good I think well you you don't eat seafood right no oh dang we couldn't

eat oko because it has like little pieces of shrimp in it but it's really good You can probably make a vegetarian version where it's got everything else where it's like the bean sprouts and like the potato they make out of it and it's like fried and there's a seasonings. I love a potato. Don't have to say anymore. It has potato. Cool. Exactly. Bean sprouts. You need beans sprouts. So it's got all that in there. It's really, really good. And you dip. The best thing about Filipino food is the sauce. See, they all have cool names. Right? I know. And everything tastes really good too. And then the sauces you dip it in. You can do this for any like fish in general. You don't eat fish. Dang it. But try it with something. vinegar. If you know what, whatever it goes with, vinegar. So vinegar, pepper, garlic, and I think a little bit of lemon. And that's like one of their dipping sauces that will just make fresh. And it's just, it pairs well. But we'll make that. They'll

make this. We hang out. We do that kind of Valentine's Day. And then we haven't done that obviously in a while because I don't live in San Francisco anymore. So have you kind of recreated it with your family and all the kids? Like you're having a community Valentine's Day? Yeah. So that's kind of what it is now. So now it's the same thing, but on a smaller scale. But now it's with, yes, the kids and my wife and myself on Valentine's Day, we'll do some sort of like cooking together and eating together and like that whole kind of thing. We always exchange cards. Not big on the gift thing because usually we put all our money every year into a big vacation. And so we're like, so our focus is always like eye on the prize.

Every bit of cash that we have don't buy anything little or stupid or whatever. Focus on, not saying Valentine's Day stupid, but focus on the big prize, which is our vacation in the summer. So we're saving up for Hawaii. So like, all right, all the money goes to that. Cards are great because we always like to show appreciation for each other and find a card that matches us. A little bit of chocolates because I know your wife loves some sweets because we've bonded over that. Yeah, I didn't get chocolates. But we did when we got at Costco that day, we went to Costco.

So we had a great day together together together. We had breakfast together. I wasn't here on Friday through the day off, by the way. So we had breakfast together. And then we went to Costco. Because normally when we go, we had to bring the whole pack. Yep. Whole crew.

Family out of. And when you got a kid that's a kid that's, seven, four, and two in Costco. It's fun. It's fine. But man, it's like, it's a lot. Because one wants to go here, one wants to be in the car. One doesn't want to be in the car. One wants to eat the blueberries we just got. And then they eat them the blueberries. We're like, all right, fine, they're hungry.

I can't deprive my kids of food if they're hungry. And then by the time we get the end of Costco, we're almost down with the blueberries are gone. And it's like, oh my gosh. So hurrying out to go. We got to enjoy it. Spent a solid hour, getting what we want, loading the card up. No one pulling on us. No, this, that, and the other. It was awesome. And then we came home, got the kids. and then we did our whole dinner thing

and we got chocolate covered strawberries at Costco. That was a point of Costco. Got it. And then... Did you get a version of some treats. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Because I know she loves those. Trust me.

Like I said, we bonded over every time we've been at events together. We're always at the dessert table together. Yes, like Chris Jansen's house, I remember. Yep, Christianza's house. And did she ever come to CMAs? I feel like she did one year. Because I think we were bonding over the dessert table there also.

Yeah, exactly. So all about the sweets. Or one of those, like, the label shows where it's like, hey, come to the bedem gym lounge before. They always have a spread of all. He's like... It was one of those because we were in the lounge at Bridgestone and then had like a dessert spread.

Okay, yes. I don't know what the event was, but I do remember her and I both being over there. Chocolate, desserts, sweets, put them in my mouth. Yeah. Yeah, she's all about it. And I'm all about it too. So yeah, so we have to have some sort of like sweets or chocolate or whatever.

But we did that, a little low key. But then the next day, the 15th, we got our sitter. She came over and watched the kids. And her and I went to try out this new place over here. called Choi. Yeah. It's next to Mockenberg. Thanks about it.

It's really good. Yeah. Oh my gosh. It's really, really good. That's the one where I was telling you, I don't know where this goes, but remember at the end of the other one with the questions and answers where I was like,

oh, I like that for you. Yeah. Yeah. What is this? Aaron in place? So this is first. Okay. Oh, you'll hear that in part two.

Part three. Part three. So in part three, this will all pay off towards the end of that episode. If you even get a chance to get that far into it, because if you're not already bored, I'm so sorry about my long-ass story. I'm not bored, but you should continue. You're probably bored, though. No, I'm not.

Okay. But I can't show a lot of facial expressions right now. It may look like I either have Botox or I'm uninterested, but I promise I'm not. You are very still. You're very still and you're not moving a lot. I'm like, all right, okay. I'm not. That's why I'm trying to keep eye contact with you.

And then I'm like, oh my God, Stephen, you're an idiot. She has vertigo. She can't move her body. We just talked about this off air. or off mic, that she's trying her absolute best to be completely still. She's not going to move. Yeah, I have to be a pretty princess. I know, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, hold on. Sorry. We're going to take one quick break and I want you to finish this story. Okay, all right. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in someone's.

Correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg, a lesbian, Michael Marantini.

My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona.

Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target.

He's going to get what he deserved. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Ago Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever.

I went and had lunch with 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 that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.

If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. 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. 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 podcast. Okay, scuba see. Finish your story. So we go to Choi, really, really good. I actually enjoyed it a lot because I don't know if Manit Shahan still owns it, but she used to own that whole block right there, Mockingbird. There's one next to it where Choi is now, and it was kind of like an infusion of Asian and Indian food. I know what you're talking about, but I don't think it's there anymore. It's not, because that's where Choi's at.

Okay. So, Choi took its spot. So she had that one. And then next to it is that straight-up Indian restaurant. I think it's called Chana or Chawana. Oh, Chowan Alehouse. Yes. So that's straight-up Indian food.

I may have butcher that name. It's fine. Yeah. But people will figure it out. It's that block. But she owns for sure, Mockingbird and that one, maybe she rebranded and now it's Choi. Because it has a, I don't know, it kind of feels like it could be hers or maybe she, I don't

know. But it's really good. It's really good. San Francisco-based Chinese food, but on like a higher level because everything is like elevated and looks really pretty and like really good ingredients and we got I mean the food there all of it's really really good we got the show my or shumai which is really good and you couldn't eat that because it's got meat in it I just love all the names yeah genuinely I really love all the names of these you should go try I mean literally it's so close just one day like after work or

something I mean I don't maybe that's like four though I can just go sit at the bar and try like do they have do they have um they have fried rice yes that's always my go-to at really like either Chinese, Japanese-type restaurants because it's so good. Oh, yeah. And that's the one thing I can typically eat, but I always, like, will sit at a bar in those scenarios because I'm literally just ordering fried, right? Yeah, I'll just have fried rice, please, and a lot of alcohol.

They do have some vegetarian stuff. I don't have the menu on me, because I don't work there. No, it's okay. It's okay. I'll like it up. That's good. Here's your menu, and here's a drink menu. But they have a lot of things that you can eat there that are vegetarian-based, or at least don't have a lot of meat. Or you can remove the meat, say, I don't want steak in this or I don't want whatever. I want just that without it. Yeah. Because man, we had some

sort of skirt, what is it, New York strip steak and some sort of bed of like amazing onions and the sauce. The big thing is the sabau. The sauce with Asian food, again, just makes the meal. This is basically turned into a food podcast and I really like that for us. Yes, I do too. Yeah. And I am interested even though I cannot show a lot of facial expressions. I love that for you. So this was a restaurant, which we'll pay up in part three at the end. So we're sitting there having a good time, really great food. And her and I were drinking, she loves gin. So when she's on a gin night, like she's going down.

And you love whiskey. I love whiskey. I love whiskey. Yeah, bourbon whiskey, rye, that, like, family. And so I had, um, they had some sort of like, uh, their version of an old fashion really, really good, like super delicious. And then she had a bunch of gin drinks. And so we're drinking only cocktails and alcohol.

Some guy rolls up and he was like, hey, you guys want some wine? Oh, I forget, forget what she said, some of the one lines. I was like, no, we're good. We're only drinking alcohol. And he's like, okay, are you sure? And then she's like, yeah, we don't. And then he still keeps going in. Well, we're really trying to show that, you know,

Asian food really pairs well with wine. And he's like doing this whole thing. And we're just trying to enjoy it. We don't go out very often. We don't go out once a month. And it's also our Valentine's Day. You're like, leave us alone. Yeah, exactly.

And our waiter was amazing at that. I wish I remembered his name to recommend him when you go there. But man, he was really good because he was stealth. He knew when to come in and ask for if we needed something. or when to ask for orders. And he knew when to just... He had great self-awareness. Yes, great self-awareness.

He knew when he was walking by, like, oh, they're having a moment. Don't really stop now. They look fine. His other man did not. No awareness. But he's also, I'm sure, he's, I think, a Somalié, so it's based on tips and percentage and how he makes his money. So I understand he's got the hustle.

I get it. But there's like 40 other tables. So once you get the vibe, it ain't happening. And maybe it's probably just, oh, let's go to the next one. Or maybe try it later or something. But he wasn't getting... We were, like, deep into a conversation. I don't remember about what, but it was, it was like a deep conversation.

And he's like, you guys want some wine? We're like, no, we're good. You sure you know what? It's like, no, we don't want the wine. And he starts still, and he goes off about the pairing of it and everything. My wife goes, oh, I just love that for you. That's, oh, my God, that's so awesome for you. And then he starts cracking up and walks off.

And he's like, okay, I get it. It's a great saying. I love that for you. Exactly, yeah. She says it more sarcastically than me. Most of the time when I say, I do really mean it. But I could see how it could totally be used as a sarcastic phrase. Oh, my God.

She's three gin drinks in. And she's like, hmm. You're like, oh, shit, here comes. She doesn't want to be bothered. She said no. Yeah. She gets the sales side. She used to work in,

she's your night out. Yeah, exactly. And she gets the sales side of things. She used to work in banking and sales and all that. She understands what he's trying to do. And, of course, has something to accomplish. But when you get the no, you get the no, you move on. You know, this reminds me of an incident that recently happened, but in a better way.

Okay. I didn't have it. I love that for you moment. I went to a place called radish. It's like I was in death renewed of some healthy food. I have ate like crap like a little child going through this vertigo because I feel like mashed potatoes. It's all weird. I'm the only thing that's, that tastes good.

So I finally felt good for like this healthy food and I go to this place called radish. And I'm talking to this girl. I have my glasses on and I just, I cannot. I'm trying to build this bowl and my brain is not working. Both one of the ones were like, what do you want? You want a little bit of this, a little bit of that? Yeah, like I build my own bowl. Gotcha.

And I was like, I, oh my gosh, like my brain. Radishes. I was like, I'm so sorry. I'm not on this planet right now. She was like, it's okay. My head feels like it's in the clouds. I was like, funny you say that. My head literally is in the clouds.

I have vertigo. And she's like, oh my gosh, I'm sorry. I was like, no, that was hilarious. Like, great comparison. And we just sit there having a conversation while I'm literally trying to figure out the venue. Yeah. And she goes, you know, this is on us. You're having a rough day.

Like, we got this. That's so cool. And she bought my lunch for me. That's awesome. Yeah. That's really cool. Because we just sat there and had a conversation at the cash register about both of us having our head in the clouds.

Yeah. And just bonding over it. And of course, there's maybe something different. And you have vertigo. Oh, you literally have a. Oh, okay. And she felt bad. Yeah. And I really didn't mean it in a way of like, I literally when she was like, hey, I'll buy

this. I was like, no, no, no, please don't. Like, I'm fine. You always feel kind of weird, right? You're like, of course it's awesome. Like, of course. But you're also like, I don't, I feel weird about it. Yeah.

And obviously like the business takes care of it or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. happy too like it's cool just like no like this is on us so we had had like a cool conversation and I was like you know awesome customer service oh yeah that's the one thing you don't I see it but then you don't see it a lot so when you don't see it a lot you feel like it's just dead across the board but when you've come across like that you're like oh my god some good old school customer service like some of that 90s

customer service where it's like oh my god I'm so sorry I apologize you're like no and you're like it's not only a big deal I don't care but they're still on that level of like I don't want to lose your business and maybe because they are burnt by those jerks they go and Yelp and they'll be like, oh, everything's just fine. And then they'll go on there 30 minutes later and go, I asked for napkins and I only got two. And I wanted my...

That's a really great voice for whoever those people are on there. I only got two and I asked for napkins. I wanted more, but I didn't ask for more. But I'm going to come here and bitchy complain about that I didn't get more. Even though I didn't ask for more. I could have easily asked for more, but I didn't. But I'd rather complain behind their back

and ruin their rating and take their four or whatever star thing and, you know, bring it down a notch and screw it. Oh. And this is like, what? Why even do that? So I understand why some people are like, no, no, no, we need to give her a free bowl no matter what. Because you could be the person that would go on there and be like, yeah, she made fun of me and talked about me and said it had vertigo and really, really made me feel da-da-da-da. And then sort of whole campaign and get her fired.

And then the company goes down and then they're tarnished and they're canceled. That's horrible. Like, I could never. I personally can never. You wouldn't, but people would do that kind of crap. They do that stuff all the time. I think everybody should have to work a customer service job in their life. Yes.

At some point in their life to understand. To understand what customer service is like. It doesn't matter what kind, but just customer service. Yes. And if you have and you forgot, remember that time. Remember the perspective of asshole customers or customers that are cool that you tripped up with and then the experience of like helping them out. And also, I think it feels good when you're doing a customer service-based job and you are able to make someone's day go from crap to better over something so little and insignificant because you had some sort of little power to give them whatever. I feel like that's, it's so insignificant to the actual cost of the.

business, but it pays off in huge dividends because then you have that one customer for life. Dividends makes me laugh. Sorry, go on. I don't know why. Dividends always will make me chuckle. Dividends. Dividends. Sorry, I really. That's okay. But you have a customer for life, but then that also becomes a word of mouth thing of like, yo, I went to Rattish this one time and I was there and you tell your story. But then she gave me the bowl for you. It was so cool. Oh my God, it's awesome. And then they think about Rattish as a positive experience and then they may drive by it or see it or see something on social or they're hungry and like, let's go to Rattish. It just creates that What I consider the in the fabric of a DNA of someone for like a long-term win, which is a weird way to put it.

But I feel like that is a huge customer servicing that is lost on most people because they're just so stretched and busy and tired. It goes back to that when you're saying like the DNA of yourself. Like you never forget how somebody made you feel. Yeah. Ever. Yep. And it goes both ways from customer service to the client and vice versa. Yeah, yeah.

I do have, I have another story of like kind of customer service type situation. We're going to take a quick break and I'll come back. I'll tell you what happened. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in someone, correct? I doctored the test ones.

Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed.

I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Ego Vodom. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers 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 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 that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about it. which is really sweet. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat, 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. 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.

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. So while I was at Trader Joe's, you want to speak of Valentine's Day, I was buying myself flowers to put together like a little bouquet from Trader Joe's. Yeah, yeah. And the sweetest old man was also in the bouquet section.

And I kind of looked at him and I could tell he was trying to make some decisions. And I just looked at him and I smiled kind of like saying I was a friendly face in case he needed something. And sure enough, like that was all he needed. He goes, can you help me? And I was like, yeah, like, what's up? I don't work here. He's like, no, I'm trying to pick out fun bouquet for my wife to put together. Can you tell me if these go together?

And he was just so stinking cute about it. And he had picked a bunch of, and me and another girl that were standing there were like, well, maybe you like take away this one. And then he was like, okay. And he felt really good about it. But then I could tell you he was still contemplating some more. And I was like, you might need to add a little bit more greenery to that. And he's like, that's what I was thinking. And it was just such a cute stranger interaction.

I'll never see this man again in my life probably. No, yeah, yeah. But it was such a cute moment where he was trying to do something nice and it was strangers being kind to each other. And it just gave me a little bit of hope again. Oh, yeah, yeah. People interacting in person and being kind to each other. Yeah, which is when it happens, it used to happen so much more often,

but it's still pretty cool to see. And also that I think he probably looked to you and was like, oh, it's like my daughter. My daughter's really good with flowers. She reminds me my daughter, Karen. Oh, Karen. I wish you're here right now, but there's a woman that looks just like Karen. I'll ask this woman over here.

I mean, ma'am. Yeah. And it was a great little connection. It was a cute moment. And he'll remember you forever now too. Like, I remember that one Valentine's Day? Yeah, it was like, I could have been so, I could have been so mean and been like, yeah, I'm single.

I'm Valentine's here. We need together at my birthday. This is stupid. But I instead was like, this guy is so cute and I want to help him. And we're all just buying flowers. Oh, yeah. Plus by helping him and also you know that the effect that's going to have on his day when he goes home and then if he would have done it, it could have been this like absolute S show.

Exactly. She's like, you don't have the da-da-da-da. He's like, I don't know, but because you guys were there to help guide him, she's going wow, you did a, give you a good job and he may either A, give you credit or B, you go, yeah, I know, I sure did. I hope he took every bit of credit, which is awesome, though. He totally should, though. He should.

Because he was putting in the effort and work. I was just a little blip on the, on the helping radar. You like help this gut or maybe reaffirm something he was thinking. I'm not sure if I should have this, but then when you said it, he's like, oh, yeah, if she's saying it then it's got to be it okay cool it was such a cute moment so cool little like faith in humanity restored moments yeah oh yeah i want to like go through some quick we'll do some like spitfire questions okay and then i want one final like reaction on something that's happening okay okay new country artists that you're obsessed with currently i would say uh i like this one dude

his name is Redfin. Yeah. Red Ferran. Red Ferran. Sorry. It's okay. It's okay. Redfin is a thing, but it's for housing.

Oh, yes. That's why. Well, it's funny because I could see in my head. I can see the logo, like the red logo. And so I even read in my eyes, which when I close my eyes, I have this weird where I can see things. I'm sure you probably do that too. Yeah. Where you see it vividly.

I'm like, oh, Redfin. Oh, no. Redfern. Right. Oh, dang. Jack and die. Yes. Yeah.

There's another new song that just came out. You may have heard it. It's relatively new. I pulled up us. We're talking about it. But I liked him when we first met him. We were at member CMAs. We were doing interviews. And I was excited to meet him because I had already heard some of his songs. That was my first interaction in person with him. But I loved him. I was like, dude, I love your stuff. He's like, wait, really? I was like, yeah, I listened to your music. You listen to me? He's so, like, solid of the earth, like, just a very normal dude from Tennessee. But I had

never heard of him. I had no idea who he was. I knew nothing about it. It wasn't on my radar until that CMA moment. I just saw his name and then. I'm like, who's Red Ferrin? And I was like, I don't know. I've never heard of it. I was thinking maybe it's a group or something. Yeah, it could be any number of things. Had no idea. And I kind of love going into something, not knowing what it is or what's happening or what it's going to be. Because then there's no expectation.

And I think no matter what, then it's going to be fun. I think it's going to be so awesome. And he came in and his energy was this like this really, really, really cool dude. And I was like, man, this guy's awesome. I want him to win. I want him to succeed. I want him to be like the next big thing because he's just so freaking cool. And I think people will love his music.

The song, I got it and I found it. It's called Just Like Johnny. Oh, yeah. Good one. And so it's like his homage to Johnny Cash, which I guess he's a big fan of Johnny Cash. And that's one of his influences. And so it has more like a rock tone to it. But country rock kind of vibe.

Okay. Yeah, I'm with you. I love Red Faron. He's a good one. I want you to listen to now Cameron Whitcomb. He's currently my favorite. Cameron Whitcomb? Yeah.

And I think you could get a taste of like pop country, a little bit of rock. It has a kind of folk. He just has this very. unique sound. Cameron with a C or a K? C. Okay. Cameron Whitcomb.

He's currently my favorite. And I would, I would say, I think you'll end up liking some of his stuff. Cameron Whitcomb. Whitcomb. Whitcomb. Cameron Whitcomb? Okay, those are our artists. Now, this guy right here, he looks like MGK kind of style.

Tattoos and stuff. You would never expect the voice that comes out of him. Okay. It's really good. He's he's hella young. He's 21 years old. Oh, so he's like fresh in the industry. Yeah.

So check him out. I think he'll like him. Oh, he's Canadian too. Okay, yes. But now we're moving on to our next one. This is rapid fire. Yeah, Spitfire. Spitfire.

We're not doing well. Actor Frankie Munez, you know who that is? Oh my God, yeah, of course, from Malcolm the Middle. Of course. Yeah. So, super popular. Yes, no, maybe. I don't know.

Can you repeat the question? You're not the boss of me now! And I also had, what's his name from Breaking Badden it? It was his dad. Is that the name was How? Walter White, but not the actor that plays Walter White. Yes. Oh, why can I think of his name?

His name was How. In the TV show. How? How! He was such like the quintess essential dad and that relationship of him and his wife. Brian Cranston. Brian Cranston. Yes.

Yes. Frankie Munoz. Yes. Go ahead. Sorry. He's now a NASCAR driver. He just finished 10th place at Daytona. Yeah.

I want to go to space. I want to be an astronaut. Oh, nice. Yeah. That's cool. With your vertigo. Okay. Well, I'd have to figure that out, you know.

Let's not do that. What if all those things they do to you and counteract your vertigo and it fixes it and actually by spinning around in 360 a million times the second actually fixes everything and it stabilizes you and you're like, oh my God, I now can see better and feel better without gravity

and with this whole different pull on my body. I was going to say more so, if you send me to space I don't have to worry about it. Exactly, yeah, true. What if that's like your biggest fix? Just leave me here on the moon. I don't give a crap. I don't ever want to go back to that place.

You can leave me here forever. Yeah, leave me in the door. dark side of the moon with the pink floyd album and i'm good okay very lastly i want to react to this because i loved to build a bear growing up did you ever go to build the bear um that was rich people kid stuff we didn't go to that so i loved having so much money growing up and a family with a father and a mother it was just so awesome now we're getting to trauma okay we're now getting to trauma all right scuba and this is not the reaction that i was anyways it was so cool and also it's skiing in the winter.

I'm just totally kidding. No, no. I envy an awesome life. That's why I provide that life for my kids now. Okay, so have you taking your kids to build a bear? I have not yet. No, no. Because we've seen it a million times in the mall, but it's always so crowded.

I'm like, I'm not waiting in that damn line. It is. But you know how cute it is to. I know. To speak into the heart and kiss it and then stuff it in the little stuffy. They had build a bear stuff because my wife used to work at Universal and they would have, she worked for the head, she worked for the president of like product development,

like toys for movies and TV shows. She'd always come back with these prototypes and stuff. And so we have two builder bear prototypes. One of, forgive me who it is, but one's toothless from how to train your dragon. So we have build a bears, but we never actually done the whole process or experience of doing it.

Okay. Well, just so you know, they now have after dark teddy. Bears made for adults. Like for you to like have sex with? No, Scooba, don't go so hard to that action. Well, after dark teddy bears. After dark meaning like they drink alcohol and they party and they're like adult teddy bears.
