In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins.
But the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax.
You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Owens, correct?
I doctored the test ones.
It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern.
Two more men who'd been through the same thing.
Greg Gillespie and Michael Mianini.
My mind was blown.
I'm Stephanie Young.

When a group of women discover
they've all dated the same prolific con artist,
they take matters into their own hands.
I vowed, I will be his last target.
He is not going to get away with this.
He's going to get what he deserves.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.

And I'm I go on.
My next guest, it's Will Farrell.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
He goes, just give it a shot.
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.

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. The best bits of the week
With Morgan.
Part one.
Behind the scenes with a member of the show.
Welcome to the weekend, everybody.
It is the Best Bits Part 1.
Morgan here and Eddie is joining me.
Hi, Eddie.
What's up?
You know, we had a little freak out there for a second
that Eddie was not going to be on to do Best Bits.
Yeah, I know.
I mean, it's weird.
I never call in sick, but last night, like,
I was thinking, like, there's no way I can go to work tomorrow.
I was, like, in bed with the chills.
and like I was freezing and everyone in the house is like it's so hot in here, Dad.
And so I don't know.
I took some ibuprofen.
I drank a lot of water.
I went to sleep except for like 12 hours.
I mean, I don't feel like 100%, but I'm good to go.
Yeah, we were just talking about how it's just that time of year.
Like we're just in that space where everybody's getting sick.
Nobody feels great about them.
Yeah.
Like we're just doing it.
We're just doing it.
We're surviving.
I feel like that's where I'm at every day.
We're just surviving.
Everyone's like, how you doing?
And I'm like, surviving.
I'm alive.
You know, I do feel like there should be a little bit more moments where you're not just surviving.
I know, I know.
I'm waiting for that time.
That's retirement.
Speaking of, not retirement, but you are surviving.
You did break your arm.
You're sitting here in a sling.
I'm an idiot.
You didn't get a cast.
Like, we let's, like, how are you feeling?
How's life with a broken arm?
So I'll give you, like, the whole story.
It sucks.
Being one armed and like, I can, I've got, it's.
been what a week now and I can do a little bit of rotation to my hand so so here's what happened I was
roller skating I fell um I broke the bone it's called a radius bone but it's right where it's
connected to the elbow yeah so that's what causes your wrist to go that bone is kind of like
the bone that helps your wrist go left to right which you really need because you know you use
your your wrist bone when you're editing videos all the time it's like you're not you don't even
Realize how much you turn your wrist in life until you can't use it.
And so I went to the ER the night that I fell and they were like, I'm not going to put a cast on it.
Go to the orthopedic on Tuesday because it was an MOK day on Monday.
So wait until Tuesday.
Go to the orthopedic.
And they'll kind of tell you what they want to do.
I don't want to put a cast on it.
And then them say like, oh, we need to do some surgery, take the cast off.
So let's just not put a cast on it.
So then on Tuesday I went to the orthopedic and they did more x-rays on it and they said, yeah, confirmed what they thought was wrong is what is wrong.
And they're like, but your bone is not, this is not me like saying anything cool about me.
But they said the muscle is so strong in the area that it kept everything together.
So like where it broke, it's still attached to the muscle and it didn't move.
So it's good and it's even kind of trying to heal itself already.
So let's not do a cast.
Stay in the sling.
I sit every as much as you can every day and even try to move it a little bit every day.
So like your own kind of physical therapy.
Yes.
So the pain is like when it just sits there, not so bad now.
A week down the road, not so bad.
But what happens, Morgan, is that it's almost like, you know how when,
you just kind of sit and fidget, like, and just kind of tap your finger or whatever or even
just like slap your knee.
Well, my muscles just do that randomly.
And when it does that, my whole arm just gets a shot of pain.
So, and that happens 20 times a day.
Oh, Eddie.
And even like when you're standing up, I'm going to stand up real quick and you don't even think
about it, but your right arm acts like it's going to grab this arm rest to help myself up.
And it doesn't, but it just moves a little bit.
And that whole muscle where it's broken,
feels like it's ripping,
it's tearing that bone again.
Well, it's like muscle memory.
So your brain is remembering that your body needs to do things,
but your body part can't do that at this moment.
Right.
So it's like trying to get them on the same page.
Yes.
Does it,
were you mad that you didn't end up getting a cast?
Well,
I asked him like,
but I don't,
so I'm really worried because like,
it's already kind of just jerking a little bit.
And I feel like I'm going to just rip it.
He's like,
you won't,
you won't make it worse.
Like,
unless you bang it on something or hit it really hard,
you're not going to knock it out of place again.
So,
and he's that if you want a cast,
we can do it,
but it's bulky.
It's a pain in the button.
You get in the shower.
It's a pain of the button in life.
Paying the butt wearing a shirt.
Yeah,
and you have to cover it when you shower.
I've had a few casts in my life.
Yes.
And you have to cover it when you take a shower.
And especially on your hand,
like you kind of just have to hold your hand basically out of the water.
It's a really uncomfortable situation.
Yeah.
So anyway,
he was like,
Yeah, I mean, we could do it if you want.
And I just don't see the need.
If you're careful, I don't see the need to put a cast on it.
So then how long do you have to be in the sling for?
Well, the sling's probably going to be like a four to five week deal.
He said the whole process is probably going to be six to eight weeks.
Where it's actually fully healed.
Where it's actually fully healed.
Now, he said that if you don't, if I don't try to do a little physical therapy on my own, like every day, move my fingers, make a fist, try to straighten my arm, which I
I can't really straighten my arm all the way.
But if I can work on that every single day while I'm sitting on the couch or whatever,
he's like, that will reduce the amount of physical therapy I will need later.
So you will need physical therapy, though.
Probably because, I mean, my arm is immobile.
So, like, I think after six weeks, your arm forgets, like, to do what it normally does.
And then you have to kind of train it again.
Well, and your brain, you know, I've never broken any major bones.
Like, I've broken fingers and just kind of random things.
Yeah.
So, but I do remember you feel very hesitant to use it again.
Yes.
That's where the problem lies.
It's not more that like it's not healed and it can't do those things.
You're like, I don't want to because I'm scared.
And your brain, that's when your brain's finally catching up to what's happening.
It takes all that time.
And then it's delayed.
But there are two different kinds of people.
Like there are us, the careful ones where like, oh, I don't want to grab that bottle because I can hurt myself if I rotate it.
And there are people that like, I don't care.
Grab a bottle.
Oh, I hurt.
So I'm going to grab it anyway.
So, like, that's kind of what the doctor is saying.
Like, if you're going to be a dumbass, I'm sorry.
If you're going to be an idiot, like, you will cast it.
Okay.
But if you're not, like, if you can just be careful and not do things you know you're not supposed to do, like, you're good where you're at.
Just be careful.
Okay.
So you're not an idiot and you have muscle.
Yeah, strong muscles that kept my bone together.
That's what we're going to focus the energy on.
Is your wife a little bit annoyed?
She's like, because now she's kind of having to pull a little bit more weight just because there's things.
you can't do. She did say that she misses
two-armed eddy, like for sure.
And just little things like, can you
do the dishes for me tonight? I can't
cook, which I'm, I
love to cook and like that's my thing.
And I can't really do that right now. Like I try to heat
something up yesterday with one arm.
It's so hard. It just takes you
20 times longer. Oh, yeah. It's so hard to even
scoop something out of like the pan.
So she's like, I have another child.
This is lovely for five weeks.
Yes, yes. Oh, man.
And what have we learned from this lesson?
I don't know. I don't know, Morgan, because, like, yes, I think the obvious is, you know, you can't do stuff like that anymore. But that's kind of my personality. Like, going to a roller skating rink with my kid for like their birthday party. Like, how lame would I be just sitting there and be like, all right, guys, have fun. You got three hours. Like, I'll be sitting right here.
Okay, I don't think that's the lesson. I think you can still do things. I think the lesson is that maybe we don't do that extra lap. Maybe we just take it a little bit easy.
year. Maybe we realize that we've had a lot of life or not quite back in college anymore.
I know. So you can still do all those things. You just have to pull back a little bit. But my kids love it when we go
hard. Like we'll still do full court basketball. Like when we go to the gym and there's no one there,
like the basketball gym, like me and my whole family will do full court basketball. And they want me
to play hard. They don't want me just to be like, oh, try to steal the ball, dad. No. They love it when
dad goes hard because they really want to beat me.
So like when he says,
Dan,
let's race.
They really want to beat me.
And I'm like,
I got to go fool.
You don't have to, though.
They can think that you are without you actually doing it.
Right.
You know your limits.
You know,
like what your body is capable of,
especially now.
I know.
You know,
like this is your lesson.
Morgan, I was skating so well, though.
Like,
I was doing so well.
And my wife even got out there and she couldn't let go of the wall.
I'm like,
come on.
No.
Eddie, this reminds me of the moment when, okay, so I grew up roller skating, or rollerblading, I should say. Rollerblading is the one with the single line. Because Kansas, it's all flat everywhere, right? I used to rollerblade all over my neighborhood. No big deal. Well, two years ago, I'm like, I want to get back into rollerblading. Bought a nice pair of rollerblades. And I'm like, I'm going to rollerblade in my neighborhood because that's what I did growing up. So I, you know, put my own, I didn't have a single pad on. I didn't have a single pad on. I didn't have a.
help I didn't have anything on right I lasted two minutes before I rounded the corner in the hills
of Tennessee and I go tumbling broke my tailbone I had a huge strawberry all down my way. You did when was this?
Oh yeah it's like two years ago you know I I talked about the broken tailbone on the show mostly because
it's like it sucked to sit down. Oh yeah. Like you want to talk about oh you did have a do you have a donut?
I don't think I got a donut okay I was just suffering through the pain. Oh that's brutal and that was my
moment where I realized, okay, you can do the things that you would like to do, but let's make
sure you wear pads.
Let's make sure we're prepared.
Do you want me to go to the skating rink with pads?
You know how lame that would be?
Like, this is what's crazy.
Like, after it happened, you turn in, it's so weird how your mind works.
Like, as soon as it happened, like, the kids weren't ready to go yet.
They wanted to skate for like 10 more minutes.
I said 10 more minutes.
And I sat down and I watched everyone in the rink and my arm was throbbing at that point.
It's like, it hurts so bad.
And I'm like, I see five older dudes, older than me.
I'm like, how come he, I'm sure he's fallen?
And like, a guy probably my age going as fast as I'm like, I'm sure he's fallen.
Like, why am I the one that broke my arm on a fall that didn't even seem like it was that bad?
You know?
And then you start seeing people like, oh, pick up their kids with both arms.
Like, well, that must be nice.
Having two arms to pick up your kid.
You immediately start feeling like life's just not.
not fair.
It is.
But that's always been true, right?
That's always been the thing beyond this moment, beyond everything, life is just not fair.
All that to be said, you can still do all of these things.
You just have to know your own limits of like, okay, maybe we don't go 50 miles an hour.
Maybe we go 35.
Sure.
Just pull back just a little in different areas.
For me, it's, I need to wear pads if I'm going to try something again for the first time.
Yeah.
Or gymnastics.
I, you know, pulled my hip bone, like the rotator cuff of my hip bone when I was trying to do things that a 31 year old should not be doing.
To your defense, though, you were doing really well.
Like, some of the videos you posted, like, dude, you're killing it.
But see, this is like you.
Like, I was doing really well.
Yeah.
We have to know our limits.
We can do these things and we can continue to keep doing them.
We just have to know when we're probably pushing it a little too hard.
You're right.
You're right.
That's our limits.
I know.
I know.
And that sucks because it sucks.
Like, right?
It sucks to get older.
It just does.
It does.
It does.
The reality.
But like the, when I broke my foot, though, like, that was, I was just playing baseball.
We were just catching and Bobby over through the ball and I jumped for it and my foot landed
the wrong way on the base.
Like, that's just such a freak little accident.
The fact that I did that last year, I'd never broken a bone before that, Morgan.
Never.
That was kind of my thing, you know, like, I've never broken a bone.
It's pretty cool.
Last year, I break my foot.
Maybe you manifested this.
Maybe I did.
Maybe I did.
But, like, for years, like, people, you know how we do bits on the show.
What's something that you've never done?
I've never broken a bone.
But last year, I broke my foot.
This year, break my arm.
Eddie, you manifested that.
The universe is like, that's what you're going to keep saying.
Jokes on you.
Oh, yeah.
We're going to make you break two major bones.
Watch this.
Figure this out.
It's also just, it's not even just the breaking of it, right?
It's the recovery time.
It just takes longer to recover.
It took me almost a year.
I still can't quite hit my tailbone in the right way.
Really?
And my hip sometimes will still, I'm like, oh, there it is again.
Yeah.
And you're going to have that now forever.
That's going to be part of your moments where you're like, oh, that hurts a little bit.
This little twig, like, whatever.
People always say, too, like, oh, you know what?
I can sense the weather coming.
Like, I know when a storm's coming because my bone starts aching.
And it's the ones you always injure and that's the one that you feel.
Yeah.
So we've learned.
The lesson is don't go that hard.
You can still do things, but don't overdo it.
Yeah, just, you know, pull back maybe a little hair, if you will.
Just a little bit.
just a little.
But also, kind of badass.
And look at you.
You broke your arm.
Roller skating.
No, it's such a bad story.
Every time I tell the story, people are like, you were roller skating.
And then I have to be like, no, no, it was my kid's birthday party.
Like, he wanted to go roller skating and I went out there with him.
Just own it.
You know what?
You're living up your life and you're out there and you're like, yeah, I did.
That happened.
Was it dumb?
Absolutely.
But is it a great story to tell?
Yes, it is.
You know, and now you have a story before you didn't have a story.
That's right.
That's right.
What would have been the story?
I went roller skating last night. It was awesome.
Cool.
My kids.
That's a great story, Eddie.
Not really.
But man, I broke my arm roller skating.
That's the story.
That's the story.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay, well, thanks for Sherry.
I'm really glad you're on the Mint.
Yeah, man.
We're on the up and up.
And you're on pain meds?
So I'm on, yeah, a little bit of pain meds.
But mostly I'm trying to get off the pain meds and go to ibuprofen now, which is like 600
milligrams, I think, which is three ibuprofins, like regular store ibuprofen.
offense.
Gotcha.
So I just do that every six hours.
Any in particular reason or you just like not?
I just don't like pain meds.
Yeah.
Like you hear all the stories about people getting hooked on pain meds.
And honestly, I don't feel it the way people explain it.
Like, I kind of feel like I get tired on the pain meds and a little groggy and a little moody when they, when like it starts fading and fading off.
You start feeling a little weird about it.
Like, I don't know.
Like, it just feels like a bad hangover.
You know what I'm talking about?
This shouldn't be how I feel.
Yeah, I don't like that feeling.
So the ibuprofen, you don't get that feeling with that.
Yeah, no, that's something normal that people take every day.
Sure.
The ibuprofen, it's like the pain went away and now the pain's coming back.
You know what's funny is when I, so did you ever have your wisdom teeth taken out?
So you still have your wisdom teeth?
I think so.
Wild.
Okay.
So I got mine taken out in high school and they gave you lore tabs, which is like a pain med.
Because it's supposed to help you get like dry sockets and that's really painful or whatever.
Well, I took these lor tabs and Eddie, I was so sick.
I lost 10 pounds in like two days and they had to rush me to the ER like through the IV.
This tells you how much I hate needles.
I kicked the nurse because I did not want her putting a needle in me.
That's what I'm talking about.
Even though I was like deathly ill from these lore tabs.
The lower tabs caused all of that.
And I had to like sleep with an IV and for like a couple hours just to get me back to a little bit normal.
And this all because I got stupid wisdom teeth out and they gave me pain meds.
Were you allergic to the pain meds or something?
It's possible.
We don't really know.
We just know that like that is the only.
introduction into my system that, you know, had it had before.
So do you take pain meds when you, like, like when you fell on your butt, did you take
pain meds?
No.
And I had gotten some, but I was just like, I don't know what this react.
This is also why, like that experience also, you know, it kind of helped me in a way.
I never had the gene that I wanted to explore drugs.
Sure.
Because of that.
Like it gave me this like, okay, that had that reaction and that was something that was
legal for me to take.
I don't need to know what.
anything illegal is going to do to my body.
Right.
It had like that.
So at least it helped in maybe that way.
But I just don't, I've never had that like gene for it.
So now I just don't really, I try and stay away in general from any type of hard drug,
even if it's prescribed.
I know.
And it's funny because like when something like this happens, the doctors are so quick to
just be like, do you want pain meds?
And I think the answer always is like, sure, like, I'll take pain meds.
But it's, it's, I don't know.
Like my, I've always kind of just kind of been like,
I'm good.
And plus, I kind of like the pain to kind of know where I'm at.
You know, like, it feels a little weird.
Well, it's not like, no, it's not like I like the pain because I get to feel something.
I was like, might have a little concern here, but okay.
No, I like the pain to kind of see where I'm at with the injury.
Like, really, if you're on pain meds the whole time, you'll never know.
Like, am I recovering?
I don't know.
Like, look at my arm.
I'm extended it.
I'm probably breaking it as I'm extending it.
But, like, if you're off pain meds or even just.
kind of like you get to feel like oh no no it's still it's still hurt it's still broken yeah that's true
because it does it numbs you that's the whole purpose of it yeah and sometimes you need it sometimes
there's no other way to to go through things but i get in this situation you're like okay let's not do
this they do say like don't mix alcohol with it i'm like why not there's a reason trust me i can tell
you even there was one time i had like i think it was like a moccasillin i had like a virus and
they gave me or whatever the the antibiotic yeah yeah right and they're like do not drink
alcohol. I remember one time I was like, I'm not okay.
Really? You mixed it with antibiotics and you were feeling weird?
Because I was in college and I was like, it's fine. I'll go drinking. It'll be okay.
Oh no, Eddie.
Like an hour in, I literally was like, I am on another planet. I am not sure what's
happening to my body. It felt very out of body type experience.
In a good way though. Like if you were a druggie, like would you be like, yeah?
Maybe. But I wasn't. So I start freaking out. Like somebody take me home. Like I'm done.
I'm tapping out.
I'm the same way.
Something like when just taking something that makes you feel out of control.
I don't like that.
Wait, hold on.
Taking a break real quick.
We're coming right back.
Yeah, yeah.
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.
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.

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.

Money Players Network.
It's Will Ferrell.
Woo, woo, woo, 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 you, 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 count. A
calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right. It wouldn't be

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 fail 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.
Okay, so you don't like feeling out of control.
I don't think that's unusual, though.
I don't know.
Some people like getting so hammered that, like, they're cool with it.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
But, like, I don't want something that's going to make me feel like, all right, whatever my body wants to do, just do it.
Like, because I like some drugs, like, yeah, it's not you.
It's not you doing it.
Yeah.
Or it is you doing it.
But it's a part of you that has been unexplored and it wants to get out.
Yeah.
That's why like everybody's like, I went to a forest and did this or something so you're not
around people or whatever.
I'm like, do you like realize how that kind of says when you say it?
Uh-huh.
Like you had to go to a forest to have this in your body.
Do you feel like that's normal?
But at the same time, like, you know, it's like, you know, it's like.
like, oh, no, it's the drugs. But you can blame it on the drugs. But the drug's not making you
whatever you're doing. Like, that's you. Yeah. And the drugs are just taking every little bit of,
that's the word I'm looking for, every little bit of, like, subconscious part of you.
Discipline or the part of you that says like, oh, don't do that. The drug just takes that away.
It's like when you're on alcohol and they say like the truth, what do they say with like the truth?
The truth comes out. Yeah, but they say like the truth starts to be something. There's like a
that goes along where there was like you alcohol like induces the truth whatever like versus and
you're like I'm sorry I was drinking no that was like you felt that way you really meant that yeah
but the alcohol takes those inhibitions off there it is inhibitions inhibitions yeah so I'm not sure
how we walked down this winding road but pain meds that's how we did we did that was good well I did
speaking of like also just pain meds and stuff Remy's on some right now she had her dental surgery
Oh, how did that go?
Eddie, I was a wreck.
I don't know how you have kids, honestly.
Like, this is how I am with Remy and I'm a disaster.
Oh, yeah.
Like, I passed her off to them and I was sobbing.
They're like, she's going to be back to you in like two hours.
I was like, I don't care.
And I sat in the office the whole time and they would come out and update me as it was happening.
She had to end up having two teeth pulled.
Oh.
So, and they were like big teeth.
So it wasn't like a, you know, it felt more kind of like my wisdom teeth situation.
And she had to have some, it was an invasive surgery for her mouth.
And so she ended up coming out and she was so, so shrugged.
So she, there's like these phases.
So I got to be with her while she was waking up.
That was like my request.
And so she's in her bed next to me.
We're like sitting in the vets, like just like front office.
And she's waking up and her tongue starts drooping out.
And she just like, she's feeling good.
Yeah, she's so, so high.
She cannot move.
She keeps trying to lift her head.
I'm like, just lay down.
This is not, you're not here yet.
So then we finally get released
So you can go home
So I'm like, okay, I haven't eaten
At this point is 1 p.m.
And I'm like, I have not eaten a single thing
I'm starving.
I'm going to grab food on her way
Because I can't leave you.
So I like put an order in for a sandwich
And I run in to like pick this up
I'm gone maybe 30 seconds, right?
When I left her, she was in my front seat
Passed out in her dog by like
Wasn't moving.
I come out.
This dog is sitting in my driver's seat
Like sitting up.
She's turned the car on
She's got it in drive
She's literally sitting there and her eyes are half open
And she
So high sitting in my driver's seat
Oh my gosh
And this dude had like
Walked by ride at the perfect time
He was like, is your dog okay?
And I was like
She just had a surgery
I swear I'm a good dog mom
That's not my fault
Her tongue stinging out
She looked high
Like she was not okay
And she just like
And she just look mad
Like what is happening to me
She's grumpy
Those pain pills man
they make you grumpy.
They do.
And she didn't, listen, Eddie, she didn't,
none of that wore off until probably like eight o'clock at night.
Wow, that's amazing.
Like, she was, she was still coming out of it for a long time.
So what was wrong with her teeth?
Like, were they, they're so bad?
They had tartar on them.
She just, her breed, whatever she has under her is just, like, genetic.
They get more tartar than others, which is crazy.
Like, I do think, had I not been brushing her teeth every night,
they would have been significantly worse and she would have had more teeth pulled.
Yeah.
Because there's some dogs that, they understand.
to have having to have all of them by the time they get, well, they're pulled.
So I think it would have been worse.
But yeah, just genetically, she had tartar.
So it was supposed to be just like a dental cleaning.
And then they're like, yeah, we're going to have to take two of these little suckers out.
Poor baby.
I know.
But she still has all our canines.
So she's technically still, you know.
She's still a dog.
Yeah.
She's still got those.
It's just the back ones back there somewhere.
Because that's like demasculating.
If you take those canines out.
Well, poor hazel.
Like, so cats have two of them, right?
Like, they're kind of like little things.
Sure.
And when I got Hazel, like they had to take her for a dental surgery because she came from such a bad situation that when I got her back, oh, that poor cat was so drugged up.
And a cat on drugs is so much worse than a dog.
A dog will lay there and just like let it be what it is for the most part.
A cat wants to bop around and you're like, dude, you can't walk.
Really?
It's horrible.
It's horrible, Eddie.
But she only has one snaggle tooth.
All the rest of her teeth are gone.
That's funny because aren't cats like lazy?
I feel like they would really want to just lay around and do nothing.
They are.
but they also, you want to talk about like wanting to be in control of something.
Like cats like their ability to like be in control of the situation and they're not.
Like when she was under so many different medicine and coming out of anesthesia, that poor
cat, I have never felt so bad for an animal.
Like I felt horrible for Remy, but at least she was chill with it.
Hazel did not want any part of it.
Like, and she made accidents on herself because she didn't know what was happening.
It was just bad.
But so she has one little thing left and then, you know, Remy.
So we got lots of tooth situations happen.
A little snaggle fan.
She really does.
I see it like come out sometimes when she's eating.
I'm like, we're using that one tooth, man.
Oh, that's so sad.
It is.
It is. So we had that happen.
And apparently I looked like a bad dog mom because she looked high in the front seat.
No, they're probably just like, what's the other?
I've never seen a dog look like that.
No.
And let me show you the picture.
You're going to die.
You're going to laugh so hard.
So we did have that.
I also went back to Wichita, which I'll tell you about, look at this, Eddie.
You probably hadn't seen it.
Oh my gosh, she does look high.
Right?
She's like, hey, man.
She's like a Bob Marley type situation.
Like, little things.
That's so funny.
And in the driver's seat, I'm like, this dog is not normal.
That's crazy how like dogs don't have different facial expressions for the most part.
Yeah.
But she definitely looks different.
No, she was so high.
And I was like, didn't want to laugh.
I felt so bad.
But I was like, this is funny.
Oh my gosh.
That's hilarious.
Yeah.
So that was Rumi.
But she's doing better.
If we're back to normal, life's good.
I'm happy it's over.
I'm really happy it's over.
And then I went back to Wichita quickly for the weekend before that surgery.
And I did a event with Nicole Galleon and Logan Mize.
It was like a charity event.
The Kansas peeps.
Did Nicole Galleon moved back to Kansas?
She's there, right?
Yeah, yeah.
She moved back.
So she did a firstborn fundraiser for her charity, like with her label that she does.
And it was so cool.
Eddie, you would have loved it.
It was like they did it kind of bluebird style.
and Nicole, Rodney Closs and her husband,
Lauren Watkins, her husband, or soon-to-be husband, Will Bundy,
and then Logan Myers and his wife, Jill.
That's cool.
And they...
Does Logan's wife play too?
Yeah, they like kind of,
they released a couple's album together.
So there was all couples on stage,
but it was crazy because, like,
the star power that was on that stage
in, like, Little Hutchinson, Kansas,
was insane.
Because, like, Nicole and Rodney together have multiple number of
songs. So many hits. And Will Bundy is one of the writers behind you look like you love me.
Really? That was like a new one. He also did like a bunch of other ones. So it was just like,
is this really happening? This is crazy. And what did you contribute? I was the host. So I,
but do you didn't sing anything? Oh God, no. And my really horrible jokes. Those are the two things
that I contributed to. How many people were there? Oh gosh. I don't know. But it looked full.
Like the, we were in this really cool theater called the Fox Theater in Hutchinson. And it looked
full from what I could see. How far is Hutchinson from Wichita?
Like 40 minutes.
Okay.
Not bad.
And the family came, everybody came out.
That's fun.
Yeah.
So it was a good time back in Wichita.
But you would have loved it.
Oh, I bet.
That's like your thing.
I love Nicole and Rodney.
Like I don't know Rodney as well as Nicole.
What's crazy about Nicole is when I lived in Austin before we moved to Nashville,
one of my coworkers at the news station was like, hey, I know, I know a songwriter out there.
Like you should hit her up.
Like whenever you go up there, she's from my hometown, Sterling, Kansas.
And I'm like, okay, cool.
Like, I'll never hit her up.
Like, I don't, like a songwriter, there are millions of songwriters.
Little did I know that her friend was Nicole Galleon.
And, of course, like, I've known Nicole just from being, you know, in the industry.
She's amazing.
Her kids ended up going to school with my kids.
And then I see Rodney around.
And I feel like I had to kind of just like, Rodney, I'm sorry.
I know everyone except you in your family.
So I finally met Rodney.
I don't know, like a couple years ago.
Yeah.
But they're just great people.
I love them.
They so are.
So did you ever tell Nicole that you knew?
We went over friends back in the day.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
100%.
100%.
That's so funny.
Because, like, their hometown's so small.
Mm-hmm.
So, of course, like, everyone knows everyone there.
That's, so it was, it was just crazy because, like, I really thought that when she said meet my songwriter, I was like, okay.
Like, everyone's a songwriter.
Like, I don't, how am I going to meet this person?
But no, it was a real songwriter.
Nicole's, Nicole's one of the best.
That's so funny.
Isn't it crazy how Nashville just, that's just Nashville.
It is Nashville.
It is Nashville.
It's such a natural story.
Literally.
And that was cool.
It was just a cool also connection, like the Kansas thing and felt really cool to be connected
back to home.
Oh, I remember, too, when you were like, you wanted to meet Nicole because you're like,
Kansas people, like, we got to stay together.
Like, I want to meet Nicole.
And then you finally met her backstage when we were doing a show with her.
Yep.
And you know what's funny is like so fast forward, like full circle.
I believe I also talked about this on the show.
She helped.
So my sister's been obsessed with Nicole for, gosh, long before.
or like I ever knew really who Nicole was.
In a good way?
Yeah.
Like she just loved her like she,
because Nicole's so aesthetic on Instagram.
She has like cool posts and she's.
Oh, all her pictures are stylistically like.
Yes.
Awesome.
And like she's a,
not just like a great songwriter.
She's a great writer.
Like she has just really a good way with words.
So my sister loved just following along.
And when she found out she was from Kansas,
the whole connection.
And so she loved her like,
that's like her favorite artist,
if you will.
Yeah.
That would be her favorite.
And so she,
she freaked out when
she realized like Nicole and I had become friends
she's like you're you just have her number
what this was like my artist
that I liked and I'm like I'm sorry
like this is cool for you right
and it ended up Nicole helped
my now sister's
husband my brother-in-law proposed
to my sister at backstage
when Nicole opened for Walker Hayes which was her
first time playing like interest bank
arena in Wichita no way
that's awesome yeah so see
and that probably would have never happened it wasn't for
you. Yeah, I was like, I was like Nicole, any chance. I know this is wild. But like it was funny. They just thought they were going back to say hi to Nicole. Because Taylor just loves to meet her and Taylor's not. My sister, nothing about her is like a fan girl. But she loves who Nicole is like, kind of how my sister is. And so she saw her and she's like so she's like so far focus on the fact that she's meeting Nicole. And she turns around and like my brother-in-law is literally on his. She's like, what is happening? Get up. What are you doing? You're embarrassing yourself. Yeah. So it was cool. It was a cool, full circle moment. Lots of Nicole stories. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah.
So there's that. That was my life. No broken arms, though. No broken arms. Pretty chill.
No broken body parts, period.
Yes. And that's the goal in life.
Well, we didn't know that was a goal until this past weekend. We didn't need to know that that was a goal.
When you get older, the goal is don't break anything.
I know. Okay, I have some random topics that we're going to go into. So take a quick break. We'll be our back.
In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal.
The family court hearings that followed revealed.
glaring inconsistencies in her story.
This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.
You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct?
I doctored the test ones.
It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case.
I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for.
Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant.
They would uncover a disturbing pattern.
Two more men who'd been through the same thing.
Greg Alespian and Michael Marantini.
My mind was blown.

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

Everyone, I'm Ego Vodam.
My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live,
and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Fer.
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 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 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.
On the show this week, you know how we talked about apples being on the calendar versus in the fridge?
The debate.
Okay.
So I'm going to add to this a little bit.
potatoes. Where do you put those?
They're also outside.
Okay, so.
Outside of the refrigerator.
Yeah, on the counter.
Yeah.
In the pantry. Well, I had always put them in the refrigerator.
Don't ask me why. I think I always felt things, if they were produce, needed to go in the
fridge because I thought they'd expire on some level.
I think the rule that you automatically think, people just automatically think, which is
probably true.
I don't know, but anything you put in the refrigerator is going to last longer.
That true.
Period.
Well, and it's like, this is healthy.
I look at like a vegetable or fruit.
I'm like, that's healthy.
That doesn't belong in the pantry.
That's kind of my brain's way I've seen it.
Well, I learned that if you put potatoes in the fridge, they turn to sugar, starches.
Wow.
So potatoes are carbs and they're good for you, but you put them in cold.
They turn to sugar.
They're no longer healthy for you.
No way.
So.
I wonder if that's why they say, like sweet potatoes.
You like sweet potatoes?
I love sweet potato.
Sweet potato fries.
They say before you fry them, soak a.
I'm in cold water for, I don't know, an hour.
Oh, for sure.
And I wonder if it's because they wanted to convert into like a sugary starch vegetable.
Mm-hmm.
To have more of like this like sugar crystallization versus.
Wow.
But I don't know.
You can't go wrong with sweet potatoes for me.
Like, that's just the best thing in the whole wide world.
I, sweet potatoes are so good and they're so filling.
That's what I love them.
It's like you can have half of one.
I'm like, okay, I'm stuffed.
I'm good.
Yeah.
Like, if you give me sweet potato fries, I can never eat the whole thing.
They're so good, though.
They are.
And you can make them savory or you can make them sweet.
Yeah.
They're very...
Versatile.
Yes, that's the word I was like before.
Versatile.
They're a versatile vegetable.
They really are.
They really are.
They're a vegetable.
It's a vegetable.
Yeah, potato, vegetables.
I might need to brush up on fruits and veggies for easy trivia.
No, but here's the rule, though.
Like, if it has a seed, it's a fruit.
I know, but like that, I can't process that quick enough for like easy trivia.
You know what I mean?
Sure you can.
I can go down the whole list of fruits and vegetables.
cucumber fruit
got it has a seed got seeds good
tomatoes those also have seeds that's
boom good carrot doesn't it's a
veggie you got it okay like that's that's that simple
the crazy one's a pumpkin though
those have seeds but it's a veggie no it's it's a fruit it's a fruit but it's like
you forget like pumpkins seeds like that's true but have you
have you never made pumpkin seeds in the oven love it oh I was like
I fry them those are probably really good yeah fry them on a skillet
so good
I don't know. My kids never, like, want to do that anymore.
Because it was such a tradition at the beginning.
Like, you know, like, oh, right, we're going to carve the pumpkins.
First, get all the seeds out. I'll cook them while you guys carve.
And then no one ate them. And so I'm like, man, no one wants seeds anymore.
I do feel like you grow out of it at some point because I don't do it anymore, but I do very
that memory.
You remember doing it. Yes.
Pumpkin seeds were so yummy. I might need to do that.
Would you eat the whole seed or would you kind of try to open the seed?
I think I'd eat the whole thing.
You eat the whole thing. Because you make it like super crunchy.
Yeah.
I love a crunchy seed.
And then you're like,
kind of gets stuck in your throat a little bit.
You're like, oh, I'm going to get that out of there.
It just like stays in there forever.
Maybe 10 seeds are enough.
No, that's a good one.
Okay, not seed.
But isn't there like a twist on that?
Like, avocado is a fruit because it technically has a seed.
But nobody really believes that because it's not a full, it's not a normal seed.
No, it's still a fruit.
That's what the internet says.
The internet's crazy.
Anyways, I have learned that most produce does not belong in the fridge.
That's good.
I mean, you would think that, like,
Like, you want anything to just last?
Put in the fridge.
No, like tomatoes I used to always put in the fridge.
Oh, we put those in the fridge.
Yeah, but they don't.
Does that turn into sugar too?
I don't think those turn into sugar.
But I do think they last longer if they're out.
What's crazy, though, are bananas.
Like, if you have bananas that are like they look like they're getting ready to rot a little bit,
and you put them in the fridge, they will turn completely brown.
But then when you peel it, they look like it they're brand new.
That can't be good.
I don't know what it is, but there's something about it where like it looks like it's dead.
It looks like they're just, throw it away.
But as soon as you peel it, it looks so, it's perfect.
That cannot.
There has to be something in bananas that that is not good.
I mean, I'm not a scientist.
Maybe there's nothing good about it.
But to me, it looks perfect.
Yeah.
But you know, it's funny too.
Like even working in the restaurant industry, everything we did was always in like the big refrigerator, the freezer or whatever.
It was never out.
Did you guys ever like lock each other in there?
No, I go in there and scream sometimes though.
Why?
Oh, oh, do you get away?
People are mean or, you know, like you have a moment.
Is that tough service industry?
Like, just people being mean to you?
Yeah, not as much like, especially not then.
Now I bet it's pretty rough.
Oh, Eddie's hurt.
I just know, I just had one of those jerks.
When you tried to move.
I tried to just get comfortable.
Your face just looked so sad.
It just jerks.
It's so weird.
It's like your whole arm just tightens up.
Oh.
And then.
the elbow just starts hurting.
I feel so bad for you.
Okay.
It's fine.
But yes, there were moments.
And also, like, you're just close, like, tighten it with so many people and so many
different personalities that you're like, okay, I need a moment.
I'd catch my manager in there all the time.
I'd be like, what are you doing?
He's like, I need five minutes.
He's going to the freezer.
Okay, have fun.
Do you guys ever run into each other?
Like, when, because I went to Olive Garden, I think the other day for one of my kids' birthdays
and we sat right by the kitchen door.
Yeah.
And every time they come out there, like, corner.
Corner.
I think more people are saying that now because of like the bear.
And yes, chef.
Yeah, chef.
Corner.
Behind you.
And also, I do think there's some better.
Buffalo Wildlings, we never said corner.
We would try.
We just yell something.
We'd like, go.
Like, I'm coming out or something.
There was never like a word and we were never trained to say that.
But I feel like if you didn't say corner, like, it can easily be a collision.
Oh, I had multiple collisions.
I dropped a lot of things.
Really?
Yeah.
Not intentionally.
Do you get in trouble for that?
it's not a good thing, especially if it's a really big tray.
Yeah.
But, like, also, it's also on the other people to see you and, like, be aware.
But you move so fast, especially in an environment, like Buffalo Wildlings.
Like, you're turning tables quickly when people aren't watching games.
When they're watching games, they're there for four hours.
You're chilling.
Run me through this.
So you drop the whole platter of, like, five plates.
Yeah.
What, you have to go back to the kitchen?
Mm-hmm.
First off, they clean it up, right?
Like, well, I start cleaning it.
it up yeah and then that's when the manager jumps in he's like okay go remake the ticket because
you have to tell the kitchen quickly because it takes time so then you go tell the kitchen and then
they're like Morgan what the thankfully at least Buffalo like you're just spinning wings
oh yeah like they have wings ready yeah but other places I don't feel like that's as easy to
do no like especially like a nice restaurant where they have to really make the sides and the
entrees and yeah I bet the cooks are just like I'm like kill this girl yeah yeah
They love me though. I was always charming. And I worked Expo before I was a server. So like I got to know them really well where I just delivered food. I'd stay in the expo window. The expo is like where the food gets put on the like heating. And you take it and you take it to the table. Oh. Oh my gosh. That explains so much. That explains so much when like somebody who's not our server delivers the food.
They're probably an expo. But how did you know where everyone's food goes? Every table has a number. So when they put it into the system. Not the table.
the person. Oh, most of the time I'm just shouting it out. Okay. And like giving wings. Okay. Sometimes
people would put it in order so you knew if it went around a certain way, then you can kind of
figure that out quickly. But most of the time you're just like, I have this many here. Hand it.
That's amazing. I just learned about an ex-foot today. Because I've always wondering like,
who's this dude? Or did the server be like, hey, I need help. Like, I'm busy. So will you go take
that food out? No, especially at a place like, and I don't know now if they've gotten rid of
Expos, but like it would go. So I started as a host.
and then I went takeout and then I did Expo and then I became a server and then I was about to become the bartender when I left for college so I had you never bartended no you probably didn't want to do that I did no you didn't yes I did no you didn't I wanted to learn to make drinks and be there like splashing drinks back behind no I get that part but I get that part but dealing with drunk customers has to be so hard yeah but also fun I almost barstended in college too I was like oh yeah I could totally do that but then I had to learn a lot of drinks and I was like never mind I don't have that energy anymore see as a guy though Morgan let me explain something there's something stupid
that goes through a guy's head that thinks the bartender wants you.
You don't think women also feel that way when they see a hot bartender?
Yes, but there's no way that a hot bartender thinks that the customer's hot.
You're too busy.
You're like, just what do you want?
Like, you want two beers?
Fine.
Thank you.
Like, they don't want to hit.
They don't want to talk to you.
And the person that's ordering the drink, they're just there to have fun.
So they think like, oh, dude, that bartender is so hot.
Like she's totally into me.
Watch this.
And it's a game to you and you're like trying to hit on them.
And they're literally like, what do you want to drink?
This is inside a dude's mind.
I've never even thought like in this direction.
And like, I don't know, 20 years ago.
But that's also how you make good tips, good money.
Oh, I get that too.
Like, oh, they start flirting back and you get good tips.
Eddie, I had a, even as a server, I can not imagine as a bartender.
As a server, one, I made so much money.
Flirting?
I was just me.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Eddie, I was just me.
You know me.
Like, I'm super friendly.
I'm having fun.
Yeah, but like, would you sit with them and like.
No, not unless I knew them.
If they started come in regular, because you had a lot of regulars at Buffalo because
of the wing nights, like bone in, boneless nights.
You'd have, you'd start to see some of the same people.
So once, and they start requesting your section.
And I'd be like, okay, yeah, I'll start to, it would get that way.
But never on the first time.
That'd be weird.
But I had, I'm sure it's still somewhere at my parents' house, but I had a gallon baggie full
of napkins.
receipts of all the phone numbers I had ever gone.
Oh my goodness.
That people would leave on them.
Is it still at home?
Like you have to find that.
You have to find that and post that.
It was a whole baggy of them.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
You're literally just trying to make a living.
You're just making.
You're working.
You're at work.
But to every other dude in there, they're like,
this chick totally digs me.
You know, but there was two guys that I went out on a few dates with.
So how did that happen?
Was that like, hey, call me when you're off?
or here's my number.
Well, they became regulars.
And like, and I don't know.
And you think it was the wings?
I don't think so.
No, they were playing the long game.
And they're like, we should go out to dinner.
Like, I'd love to take you to dinner.
I was like, okay, what do I have to lose here?
Like, this is how you meet people.
Yeah.
And so I went out on a few days,
obviously none of them turned into anything.
But I went on a couple dates.
Like, one of them I dated for a couple months.
Couple months.
Yeah.
Dang.
Yeah.
So it wasn't like unusual.
There is a chance that it happens.
So you're saying.
But you got to play a long game.
You're saying there's a chance that the hot bartender may be into you.
Yeah.
But again, long game, not short game.
And you have to go when they're not busy and when they're busy.
You got to do both.
It's the long game.
Obviously, I don't give a crap.
So if there are any dudes listening, like, take notes.
It's pretty good.
I'm helping you guys out.
This is how you do it.
This is how you score the hot bartender server.
I remember when I was 20 years old, like my brother.
My brother, he was six years older than me.
So if he was old enough to drink, like, you,
go to a bar, I'd sit with them, they would never card us.
I was always good. As long as I'm with him,
they're just like, oh, cool. They're like the same age
and it's fine. Oh, God, I could never.
And so like at 17, 19, like, yeah, let's go, dude,
what are you going to do? You want to go to bar? Let's go.
And I remember we were like one of those roadhouses,
like Logans or, I don't know, one of those.
And there was a girl and she was totally into me.
Like, I can totally tell she was into me.
I swear. I swear she was into me.
And I said, hey, what are you doing? It was like Saturday.
And I'm like, what are you doing after you're done here?
Like, nothing.
Like, do you want to go out?
Like, do you want to go with us?
We're probably going to go do something.
And she's like, oh, okay.
Like, why don't you come like after we close?
I'm like, what time do you close?
So like, 11, you got it.
So I told my brother, I'm like, let's go back.
We got to go get her.
And we go back and, like, there were no cars in the parking lot.
Eddie.
I'll never, ever forget it.
And it was one of those things, like, one of those things in your mind are just like,
that sucks.
Okay, but also kind of rude at her because
there's a way to get out of that.
There's a way to be like, no.
But that's the thing I started thinking like,
oh, maybe like, you know,
there's a family emergency.
I didn't leave her on my number or did I.
I don't remember.
This probably before cell phones.
Honestly, I was 19 years old.
Like 20.
That's funny.
Not funny.
She should have just let you down.
It wasn't funny.
Not in that moment.
Now you can look back and be like,
that's funny.
Dang, that one hurt.
Okay, there is a chance, but not as many chances maybe as we think.
There's that.
Okay.
Oh, I want to share something with you that in case it never makes it.
That's funny.
Because it may not.
It may not, but also, you know, pretend you never heard this if it does.
Lunchbox made a rookie mistake.
You want to know what happened?
Yeah.
He had his little sore losers convention.
and this dude butt dials me, right?
And I pick up the phone.
I'm like, lunchbox, what's up?
Hello, hello.
And all I hear is like laughter.
And then somebody go, you just butt dialed her.
They were talking about me.
And he butt dialed me when they were talking about me.
What were they saying?
Could you pick up anything?
No, but there was laughter.
She's so stupid.
Which means there was some comment said about me on some level.
Enough for somebody, not even just be like,
hey, you butt dial Morgan or like,
It was you just butt dialed her.
Oh, 100%.
Which means I was in the conversation.
I mean, I will say that like when I used to do the convention, there was a lot of like,
FaceTime Bobby.
Yeah.
FaceTime Amy.
And see if they pick up.
Call Morgan.
Like, there was a lot of that.
So I wonder if that's kind of what it was.
And he was like, I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to do it.
Okay, but it's lunchbox.
Oh, he was totally talking crap about you.
100%.
There's no.
Like, I would like to say.
say yes, that could be it in some scenarios.
I don't feel like it was this and that one.
There was too much laughter for that.
That is a rookie mistake.
I'm an idiot.
He is.
For that.
I'm like, really?
Like, I sat there all weekend.
And I even texted him.
I literally said rookie mistake.
I just heard you talking about me and you bopped on me.
Talking crap about me.
Dude didn't even see the text message.
You have to do a whole, like, I know exactly what you said.
Like I heard all.
And then don't tell him what you heard.
You know?
And he'll be like, what did you hear?
Like, I'm not telling you.
You know exactly what you said.
And see if I can get him to tell me.
Yes.
But you know the worst part, though, is he was also probably drunk.
He doesn't even probably remember.
Oh, for sure.
Would be my guess.
For sure.
He didn't even respond to that text message until we were back at work.
Dude.
And he was like sending me a bonehead.
And I was like, dude, that was literally three days ago.
Oh, speaking of him, I didn't have sent you a fun fact, I think, right?
Speaking of.
We're a little late.
Yeah, yeah.
I got to do that.
I got to do that for you.
Oh, all right.
Well, we are going to get out of here.
I had other random topics, but, you know.
Did we run out of time?
Well, in true Eddie and I fashion, we went on different.
Always.
It was more fun anyway.
They're like, topic is this.
Let's talk about all these other things.
And then maybe we get around to it.
We'll talk about the topic.
We'll leave on this one.
What food is so underrated that you wish more people either liked or talked about?
Oh, underrated food?
I can give you a second to think.
Mine is breakfast burritos.
I feel like nobody.
Don't like them.
Don't like them.
Why?
Like a breakfast taco?
Same, same concept.
But breakfast, I mean, man, you do a breakfast burrito, right?
What do you want in it?
Because you don't do meat.
Eggs?
Oh, can you do eggs?
Oh, can you do eggs?
Yeah.
I love an egg.
I have to be in the mood for it, though.
It's kind of a texture thing.
Potato and eggs pretty good.
Yeah.
And I just went to a place.
They had tater tots.
And eggs?
And eggs and avocado and salsa and cream.
It's amazing.
Cremma.
Cremma.
Yeah.
I mean, cream, I understand why you said it that way because it's cream.
But it's crema.
Cream.
Yeah.
You say awesome, by the way.
Like when you say it.
Like that, you say it really perfect.
Those are my rolling ours.
I take avocado with crema.
Eddie, that's my little piece of stain that came back with me.
A little bit.
Yeah, did you, do they, they don't have breakfast burritos over there.
No.
But you know what they do have is patadas bravas, which are my favorite thing ever.
Patatas bravas?
Potatas bravas are potatoes, a spicy mayo and like a marinara red sauce type thing.
Do you know what that means?
Patas bravas?
I know it means potato, but I don't know what bravas is.
Come on.
You got it.
You're saying it.
Good.
Good potatoes.
No.
You're saying it.
Bravo.
Bravo.
Kind of.
But doesn't probably.
There's a root word.
There's a root.
Bravo.
Brave.
Brave.
Yeah.
It's a brave potato.
It's a brave potato.
Yeah.
Why are they called brave potatoes?
It's almost like proud.
It's Spanish is weird.
Like the direct translation of certain words, they're like, yes, that's the direct translation.
But it's also, you can also use that to say like proud.
Okay.
So it's a proud potato.
Brave potato, like direct translation.
But I'm sure they mean it like a badass potato.
Oh.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, like tasty potato.
Yeah, like that.
Yeah.
Like you can use so many different, one word to describe so many different things.
Okay.
But yeah, you got it though.
Brave potatoes.
Yeah.
Potasas bravas.
It's like a loaded potato.
You know, like, you know what I mean?
You know what do you translate it?
You're like, what does that mean?
Same deal.
It's so true.
Okay.
You're underrated food.
Underrated food.
Can I go like brisket?
because I feel like no one really talks about beef brisket.
Okay.
Unless you're in Texas.
Like, ooh, we've got to get Texas barbecue.
But the whole world needs to understand how good a smoked brisket is.
Okay.
Like, smoke brisket is the best thing that you can eat in the entire world.
Like, better than a steak.
Okay.
Hey, this is your underrated food.
And I believe in you with this.
It's a brisket, baby.
Okay.
Yes.
All right, now we're going to jump out.
Because we've got to go answer some listener questions.
