Welcome to The Best Bits this weekend. excited to be joined by none other than Scoobo Steve. What's up, Scuba?

What's up? Everybody's so glad to hear it's Coolio with the flow back in your ear. Every time you say that, I always think of Coolio. I know. You did that during the listener Q&A, too. You're just rolling with it. I like it. Well, we got a lot to talk about today, and we're going to dive right in until you ready.

We can't talk about too much because we have to do this in an hour and under, right? Well, you can't talk about it too much. Oh, you're the one that usually talks a whole lot, so I don't know. So, hey, we can do this, scuba. I believe in you. So Amy thinks her dad showed up as an orb in her house, which was super interesting. And so, Scooba, we've talked about a lot of ghosts and paranormal activity and a lot of different things. Have you ever had anything show up for you?

So I was thinking about this morning because I don't know, I just popped in my head, which I feel like that's the ghost again coming at me. Like coming to try to like, you know what I'm trying to say? Like you thought about them and you may not see them ever again, but they can still enter your mind. as like in a reminder. Like, hey, I always remember me. And I don't know who this person was, but there was this time. And I've told a lot of the stories in the show.

And this one just recently came to me. I'm like, oh, shoot, let me tell Morgan. And you asked the great question. So, hey, I got you. Yeah. So I always remember as a kid. And we talk about my Native American history a little bit, like very briefly in the Q&A.

But I always remember as a kid in my grandparents' house. And I don't know who it was. I don't know if it's like my great, great grandpa or just some random Native American dude. But every once in a while, I would look down, we would sit in a living room. We had one of those like old sunken living rooms where you come in from the front door. It would sink down. It's like 70s style with the green shag carpet. And the TV was this old 1970s TV that was in like a wooden box. And you had to, you only had could change a channel on the TV. And so that's, I'm just kind of painting the picture like where we sit and watch TV.

Yeah. So we're sitting there watching TV. I don't know. We may have been watching it was at night. So probably maybe Nickelodeon or Nick at night or something. I don't know. But we would sit there usually only at night and we'd sit there watch TV and I distinctly remember a couple times looking down to my right which is this long hallway and that's where all the bedrooms are the bathrooms and everything three or four bedrooms right down this hallway I remember looking down the hallway and seeing this Indian like a Native American looking dude coming out of the far back bedroom walking out of the door and then turning left which would mean he's turning and now facing me and my said now I'm talking about it my ears are like ringing and I'm getting numb

It was so weird. He's coming back. It was maybe. Oh my God, Laura! Wait, are you serious? I'm just kidding now. Like, I just had chill bumps. I didn't even want to turn around. You were like, uh.

He just scared me a little bit. I got, like, catch my mirrors. Okay, so. He would turn, he would look at me, and then he would just walk down the hallway, and then he would do a couple different endings. It was like every time he'd be like, this, I'm different. And he would do one ending where he would then look at me and then walk the other way and then walk into the other bedroom,

The room that I would sleep in. So do you think it was a family member? Do you think it was somebody that lived in that house or on that land before? I mean, it could be in the land. It would definitely wouldn't have been in that house because it was Native American. He looked and he wasn't like Native American now, like, jeans and a t-shirt. He was Native American, like, headdress, like, where I'm talking, like, you know. And you saw, like, the full figure of him.

His full body, head to toe. And he had, like, this, and it must have been a chief of some sort because he had a large headdress and, like, stocky and strong. Do you know any chiefs in your family? I don't really know much about my dad's side. I just only found, I knew growing up we were Blackfoot, but I didn't know much about it because my dad left when we were nine. And when I was not, you know, from one to nine, you're not really inquisitive and really care about your heritage.

So, and then my mom never talked about my dad. So it kind of just went away and died. So it's your dad's side that this is where it's heavily. Yeah, so I only knew that. And I asked my mom recently, you know, she was in town. I'm like, mom, like, what's up? I want to know a little bit more now because I have kids and I want to be able to tell them who your grandfather was and what that side of the family is.

And she also was very vague and limited on what she knew. She was like, I just knew you guys were Blackfoot. And your great grandma was 100%. And then so it'd be his grandmother. Yeah. It was 100% and then just dial it down all the way down to you. So you're like 12 and change or whatever. And I was like, why don't we ever like do more with that?

She said, well, we went to visit them a lot. They were really nice. She was sweet. You know, his grandma was sweet. You know, your mom, your grandma, his mom was really nice. But, you know, our relationship didn't really work out. And, you know, does she know enough to like connect you with some of those relatives.

Yeah, so in my baby book, because she was hardcore about that, she wrote down all of their last names, the maiden last names, because it was the women's side that was the Native American. The guy side was Scottish and German, I believe. So interesting. I feel like you could totally find them now. Like those relatives, I feel like you could. Yeah, well, I definitely, my uncle hits me up randomly.

And I just, for the longest time, I was just, like, turned off by that side of the family. But now that I'm older and I have kids on my own, I kind of want to tell them like, hey, this is who you are. We know a lot about my wife's side. We're 100% privy to the Filipino and Chinese and then her dad being German and all that. Like we get that. I know my mom's side, Czechoslovakian, which I guess not Czech Republic and Polish and all that. But just that one missing piece, all I know is Blackfoot.

That's it. I don't know really much. You should connect with your uncle. Yeah, I don't really do because my mom was always like, well, he got clean and sober and he was great. And he was always really nice and fun. And he was the one you should reach out to. And so I felt bad because he reached out to me when my dad passed away. I think about three or four years ago.

And he was like trying, I could tell he trying to reconnect with me. But I just kind of like, you know, I talked to him a little bit, mostly just through texts, but nothing more than that. And I should take the time to actually get to know him because it wasn't his fault. My uncle had nothing to do with my mom and dad's relationship. Well, maybe that's what this Indian represents is that you should be reconnecting with the side of the family. Maybe it's not somebody you know as more of an idea of something you should do. Kind of like, hey, there he is again.

Walk by him. It'll jog. It'll make one day it'll click. One day he'll get it. Listen, I'll talk to you about it a little bit later. I just watched Interstellar for the first time. Oh, you just saw it for the first time? For the first time.

That's a long-ass movie, by the way. We'll get into it, but you reminded me of that. You know, I haven't had any signs, and I don't have experiences like you. You definitely have a connection with the ulterior energy. Yeah. It's the best way I couldn't describe it. But I do believe that the Amy's psychic was correct in a lot of things, and I do believe that my grandma showed up during that call, like wholeheartedly.

Yeah. Do you, like, so I guess for you, so if you don't see anything, do you feel things? Well, it wasn't, it wasn't as much feeling as the story she was telling. Like, it was entirely specific to my grandma. Like, there wasn't a way that somebody would have known the thing she was talking about. Yeah, unless she was talking to your grandma or someone who knew your grandma. Yeah, and I got the chance to, like, tell my grandpa about it when I saw him. And, because we just celebrated his 94th birthday.

Oh, wow. That's awesome. Congratulations. So much fun. How long has your grandma been gone for? A couple years now. Okay. So not very long, but a couple years.

Yeah, it must be very difficult when you're with someone. Like, I think about my grandparents because my grandfather passed before. Usually it's the guy that goes before the girl. It's actually kind of weird to hear the opposite for you. And I was always like, man, how's my grandma going to do this? Because they've been together for like 60-something years and went through so much and all that. You're like, how are they going to be able? And they always say that they go with like heartache.

But she's been around now for eight years since he passed? I was going to say, I think it's been three or four years now. And, that's cool. But every, I mean, every day is hard, right? Oh my God, it's not easy. No. He definitely talks about her all the time. So me talking to him about that, he was like, oh, I definitely think that could be true, you know?

But it wasn't like wanting him to put in hope about it. So it was cool getting to talk to him about it. But yeah, I don't think so. I don't think I've ever had any encounters in the way that you have. Okay. So that's all. Or signs or like anything. I mean, I've seen orbs and stuff, and I believe in that.

Yeah, you talk about your orbs. in your house. I believe in things. I just, there's no meaning behind them for me that I'm aware of. But it could be my grandma or my great grandma showing up. Somebody, yeah,

you never know, yeah. You never know. But also this week, Lunchbox had his SBF foundation. It's really hard to say this because it's actually, Sunburn Protection Foundation. Lunchbox is SPF.

Yes. But not an extra foundation, but it's just weird saying it because like everybody's like SPF, whatever. So he went out to the beach and invited like strangers to put, sunscreen on him, which most of them did not, except some did. So that was funny. I want to know, though, this is an in related to SBF, the beach or lunchbox at all. But if you see a... But I just wanted to bring it up real quick. I do. If you see an accident happen, a car accident,

do you stop? Oh, gosh. Or do you keep going? Okay. That's a great question, because I know legally you're supposed to stop because you're a witness to whatever to give your side of the story, because obviously those that are involved, they're going to be biased towards. No, I wasn't my fault. No, It wasn't my fault. You know, so I have stopped. Yes, in the past I've seen it. But now it's like a case-by-case scenario, I think. Yeah.

Which I hate to say. But back when I was like single and by myself, if I saw something, I immediately pull over and, you know, try to either one diffuse the situation, try to calm people down, wait for the cops to come and help with that. And then once they come, hey, actually, she did it or he did it. You mean a tattletail. Yeah, exactly. I got to go. But he was totally at fault. he hit her right in the back, wasn't paying attention, was smoking a cigarette, on his phone, eating a slice of pizza, driving with his knee, it was him.

So, yeah, so I have. But then there have been times now more recently where, now that I have kids, and I feel like if this were, if we're like either A and a not so nice part of town driving through or B, it looks like it was like a heated type scenario where they get out and slam the door and I'm like, oh, I got to want my kids involved with that. I'll let them figure that out. They're both heated and upset. And somebody else maybe I've seen it because I'm the only car on the road. There's like 40 other car. Someone's going to pull over and do it who was like me 15 years ago that has a time and doesn't have the kids and can be there to help out. I'm not at that place anymore.

I love that you're using your kids as an excuse because I didn't stop. There was one that had a car in front of me. Remy was in the car, maybe. Remy was with me, yes. You were fearful of Remy's life. Honestly, no, it was more fearful for mine. I just don't trust people. Like, I'm very nervous about the situation if I were to get out because I'm not a very big girl.

So like if I'm in a situation It's just not worth it to me Unless like somebody were It was like a really bad accident right Like this was a fender bender Like I was sitting there And you just see a car pull out And it just right into another car

Okay you got this I'm like there's also multiple business around There's probably a camera around here somewhere Yeah But like full blown accident I would Like if it was bad enough And somebody needed help Yeah I would probably jump out

And try and figure it out But it was just a really interesting situation because I was literally definitely the first witness. Like I was saying right behind it. And I was just like, I'm just going to go around and let you guys handle your business. Yeah. Plus when they get out, they're not in the best mood. They're pissed.

So you don't want to also put yourself in a dangerous situation of where, especially where we live in Tennessee, they pull out a gun and all of a sudden you're dodging bullets over a fender better. It's just not worth it for me for that type of scenario. It's only worth it if somebody's genuinely in danger. Yeah. Now, my dad has like, he's witnessed like a really bad drunk driving. accident and he went and pulled somebody from a car and then he had to go and like be a witness like genuine

witness in this whole situation he had to pull him from the car because it was like like it was that bad or like the car was that bad and he went to go and help the guy and the guy like ended up going away running oh my god yeah it was bad it was that oh wow we're fleeing the scene of the crime yeah and i'll double make sure that i can say that after because he already went he went and showed up in court and provided as a witness oh yeah it's already it's a case close you're Yeah, so, but crazy. Like, that's the kind of stuff that happens when people get into accident. So that's why I'm like, you just never know what's going to happen.

Yeah. But I was curious, if you stopped as a man. Yes, I do stop. Yes. And even, like, in the other side of it, where I'm the person that's gotten in an accident, I see now people will just drive off, like Gary Busey down in Malibu. Yeah. He hits some lady and just kept driving.

And then the lady was like, hey, you hit me. Pull over. And he's like, huh? And then he's kind of, you know what Gary Bucy is the actor? It sounds really familiar. You look Gary Bucy up while we're talking. And he'll definitely, he has big teeth. He's an actor back in the 80s and 90s.

And then he went really crazy. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yes, yeah. So he got, he was driving at Malibu, hit somebody. It looks like he maybe had been effed up on pills or just really old now. And he hit somebody and she got really mad. I was like, pull over and he finally pulled over.

And I forget what he said, but he's kind of like, you know, I'm high profile. I don't need to be doing this kind of thing. I didn't do anything wrong, whatever. Like basically kind of like, whatever lady, kick rocks. And then gets back in the car and drives off. And then you look at his car where it, where he hit her, it's pretty messed up. But then you look at the other side of his car, it's also messed up.

So you're also like, who else does this guy hit and driven off? He had a lot of hit and run out of it. Yeah. I was like, holy crap, now it's caught on camera. So now it's like, dude, you're probably going to get in some trouble for this one. Maybe he also can't see very well. He's much older. And did a lot of drugs in the 80s, so he just probably shouldn't be driving anymore.

He's got enough money, too, where like hire somebody to drive you around, you know? If I had to have a feeling, then he might have blown it. That's probably true, too, yeah. You drive around in a Volvo, so probably. If you don't care about your things in that way, you typically get to a point where you're blowing money. True, true, yeah. You know?

So, okay. Or no, he's going to die soon. He's like, who cares? I'm out. Well, that's a horrible way to. All right. Well, we're going to head into a quick break right now. Scoop up, we are doing good.

We're pacing well. Yeah, what, 13 minutes, 14 minutes? This is pretty incredible. I'm so proud of us. Who are we? You're doing great. Quick break. On a recent episode of the podcast

money and wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money,

this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. This is my best friend Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later. We're still joined at the hip.

Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it.

Do you want a white collar or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Come on. Can you believe? I would buy it.

Cut through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky. I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You're lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh.

Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, Scoop is sitting here with me right now, and we got a hair update from him. But this segment escalated so much beyond the hair. I get it. And just so many different ways. And if I had been quick enough, I had a lot of comebacks. But honestly, I was stunned. You were taking it back.

By the whole scenario that I wasn't quite sure what to say. It was one of those where I was like, I need a moment to, like, handle myself before I respond. Yeah, I just set it up. And then I just kind of, like, walked away. and I just sat there as a spectator. You're literally like the guy who comes in, set something on fire and walks away. You've done that twice now.

Twice, yeah, maybe three times, yeah. Oh, stupid. I'm ready to do it again. Well, your hair is full on growing, and I'm really glad. Everywhere but the top, though. Everywhere but the exact top where it needs to grow. I mean, you already knew that, though.

I know, I know. Like, you knew that was coming. I know. I'll give you a little. Look at it just so you can see. It is growing. Awful. It is growing.

But, like, I genuinely want to see you with, like, full head of hair. Kind of like what Eddie's looks like. You know? I want to see what that would look like for you. It won't be a full head of hair. It'd be a full sides of hair. Full head of hair, what you can grow.

I can grow. Because you do have a lot that can grow behind. Yes, I mean, it is growing long. Look at that. It's a good inch or two. It's growing in pretty big. Isn't this like the George Costanza look? Oh, yeah.

It's like, yeah, between George, that you want it to be like Todd Packer or the Incredible or a Hulk Hogan where it gets longer. Yeah. Yeah, you're looking for that. Okay. Yeah, you know, I mean, I'm not going to make you grow it out that long. Well, see, for that long, it's cool, though.

I do want to genuinely see some hair. Like, right now it's very short. Yeah, it's awkward. It looks stupid. It makes me look kind of like dingy and like I'm not put together. And even Amy said, she's like, yeah, I wonder what's like wrong with you. Maybe you didn't have time or anything or whatever. My favorite part is listening to people and they forget our bits that happen.

Yeah. And I don't get the choice of forgetting our bits. Like, I have to remember everything. And I didn't forget it. I'm living it. I know. But it always makes me laugh. Like, well, I'll hear any four, any of the four of them.

What? That happened? I'm like, yes, it was like a whole segment and a whole thing. Yeah. I'm like, do we live in alternate universes where you just miss that part? Remember when he saw his arm off and now he only has a left arm? How do you forget that? It's like that stuff. Yeah, like what? Look at him now. He doesn't have a, oh, he didn't have a right. His right arm's missing. Oh, my God, I didn't even know. Well, I want to ask you because I am turning 30 in like, I don't know, about 20 days or so. What advice do you have for me as I start to head into my 30s? You have a 401K, right?

Yeah, I do. I do have a 401k started. Listening to those Yahoo's, I'm like, dang, y'all are even behind me. Yeah, I started a 401k. I think when I first started going full-time at radio, which I was maybe 24 when I became full-time. So I've had a 401k since then. I couldn't contribute a lot back then, but I still had it and was contributing something. Yeah, something is better than nothing was.

Yeah, exactly. Something's better than nothing to put away something. And I ended up needing that 401k when I turned 30-ish when I moved to L.A. I needed a couple thousand dollars to start that career. So it actually benefited me and that's that way. How to pay a ton of taxes and like a fee. Yeah, I've never, I've been very financially savvy. Thanks to my dad and my mom.

They've been really good at instilling that in me. You own a home, right? I own a home. Yeah, you're smart. I have savings. I invested in stocks. I have my 401k. Why can't you find a dude that?

You would think that the right kind of guys would be attracted to that because like my wife was very similar where when I met her. And for me, I guess not ever. a guy's way, clearly. Yeah, and they're not. You want somebody who's confident without you because then that means when they're with you, they're not going to be, they're not going to be worried, they're not going to bother you.

They're going to, you know, I'm trying to say like you're not. You live your own lives and together, together. Yeah, but you become a better team together. Like Jordan and Pippen are great solo, but when they were together, they were an unstoppable that's a sports reference, right? Sports reference, yeah. Like, yeah, Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen. I knew the Michael Jordan.

That's why I started to figure it out. But together they were great. They were unstoppable as a, as a. team but solo they were still fine but they weren't nearly the same like when they got into different teams and separated wasn't the same or when jordan was gone and pippin was there it's just my point is like a guy who to hear someone would be like wow yeah i got a 401k i want a home i have a savings i own all these things i guess i guess also playing into your what do when you're 30 you already kind of hit a lot of the things that you should do very financially savvy but i didn't know

if there's any like life oh life there's anything that's that's happening because i feel like things I've already started to happen. Like, I'm more tired than I normally used to be. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I have a bigger appetite than I should be able to eat. Yeah. Like, you know, your metabolism goes lower. Definitely slows down, yeah. Um, I get random bruises all the time that I have no idea where they came from. Like, I... That's because you drink. But I don't. That was a crazy thing. I had so, I like, threaded something and I was like, you know, I used to get random bruises all the time from going out to the bars. But now I have random bruises from literally just existing. So what's happening? So what's happening? old.

Yeah. My breast was like moth balls. Yeah. Like what is going on with my whole body of my life? The entire thing is definitely less legit because I don't know what has something to do with your metazolism. I probably metabolism probably plays into that. Ords are hard.

It slows down very hard. It slows down. Your memory starts to fade, your short-term memory. Long-term memory, I feel like it's always there. Or you need someone to help recall it. You'll start to see your friends fade off, the ones that you thought were, whatever. Especially when they go in different directions where if you see. start a family and they don't or they start a family and you haven't you start to kind of slowly kind of

you have like your core i've always had a core of like five five dudes five or six guys but now it's even slim down to three guys because the other three have not followed our path got it so yeah that that that will change um i think yeah uh you start to care less about what anyone else thinks about you if you maybe you're already into that but you you could give two Fs about somebody else's opinion about you and you're only caring about your own happiness and what you like and what you do. I feel like that takes a long time and I think 30 was when it started to really hit where you're like, oh, I really don't care what anyone, especially in high school, you're like, wow, why did I care about that crap?

It meant nothing. And the people who thought what they thought are nothing and have always been and will always be. So you're kind of like, I guess you care less about things. That is what I'm excited about my 30s. That's what I hear from a lot of people. It's just like you just really kind of start to come into your own. It's kind of like your golden era almost is the best way to do. describe it because you have money to do the things that you want if you've been smart about.

Yeah, exactly. And you're just really mature and you've learned a lot of things, but you're not too, like, you're not getting into your 40s where the decades and you're starting to see different life experiences and stuff. It's still very much like part of your 20s. Yeah, and you're still a little fluid because once you hit 40, you're set in stone and you are what you are. And if you were to get into a relationship or with anything, it's much more difficult because

you are so, nope, I've done it for 40 years this way. I'm not changing how I am. Your 30s are still, it's your last bit of pliability where you're a little bit still. That's the best way to put it. Yeah. You're still able to like, okay,

I can be fine with this little thing and that little thing. And I understand that every person I meet now, especially in your 30s, won't be fresh because they're not 20 anymore and you're not 20. There's going to be some bruises in the past, you know, mental, you know,

more like, like, like, like, like, like going into your, once you have 40, those, it's like, it's like, it's not rock hard.

Yeah. Right now they're still a little fresh and you can kind of like, You can put ice on it and go away. Okay. Okay. I like it. Yeah. See, he found good advice.

You just didn't realize where you were going with it. True. Yeah, I had like talk myself into my good advice. I liked it. It was good. I found my way. I went full circle. Well, I do want to talk about like kind of some tell me something good moments.

Okay. Next what we're going into is the my dating update. You guys heard about my two dates in one day and the hot Rodney update where lunchbox really let me down. Let me just tell you. Ramundo though, his guy is going pretty well so far. So like Ray Mundo, great winning. Lunchbox. Are you playing?

I'm like sitting here talking and I slowly here, tell me something good. Do you tell me something good now? All right, Morgan, it's up to you. Wait, hold on. Wait, did you play it? Did it go? I have done. No, I don't.

Here's Morgan with her, tell me something good. It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. All right, Morgan, what do you got? So Remy and I passed our reevaluation to stay a therapy. animal team. So every two years you have to get re-evaluated and you may not pass. Well, Remy

and I passed. She like again pass with flying colors and even on her little sheet, they said she is a people magnet. Wow, and that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. I wasn't even prepared for that. But yeah, really great news.

That's really cool. That is really awesome. I like that. So we're really excited. Remy loves going to visit the retirement home a couple times a month. So I'm glad we get to keep doing that. Well, dogs are very much energy, I guess, I don't know if the next one. They feed off energy. They feed off energy, yes, yeah, yeah.

It's really early. It's really. It's really at 4 a.m. we haven't started the show. Yeah, the real show, the big, big show. She's all those are secrets, scuba. Lunchbox comes on here. He's like, it's Saturday morning. I'm like, okay, well, that's a lie. Okay.

You know. But do you have any, like, tell me something good things that have happened to you recently that you want to share? Hold on any moment to think about it. It's time for the good news. Tell me something. You keep playing this and I don't have headphones on So I have no idea where it's getting inserted

I can hear it a little bit over here I know like briefly as a listener though They don't care the headphones or not Because they can hear it in their car or on their phone I know but I'm literally talking over the image speaker Okay Did you think about anything while you hit that second?

I got to distract myself and I didn't think about anything Okay well I have another one for you All right on my second here on a second It's time for the good news Tell me something good I went to a meal packing event on 9-11, which was like bringing the whole community together. Yeah, yeah. What was that like?

And, you know, I really didn't expect much besides like a lot of meal packing and kind of some chaos. Packing meals for who, though? It was for like the hungry people in our community. So very like, um, different. Was it a second harbors food. No. Okay. It was different communities, um, coming together.

But like also helping, I believe veterans, people who struggle with homelessness, like just different walks of life. life, I believe. But it was really cool because while we were packing these meals, Darrell Worley, who is a great song writer, and he wrote the song, Have You Forgotten? Have you forgotten? Which will make you sob. He played it on our show maybe two years ago for 9-11.

Is it 9-11 or Veterans Day? One of those two he played. Yeah, I did remember him coming on. That was awesome, yeah. So we're packing these meals, the whole community is like, and there's like hundreds of people in this room, like packing this oatmeal with cinnamon and apples. And he's out there singing. Have You Forgotten, like, live?

And I'm just sitting there, like, sobbing while I'm trying not to get it in the cinnamon that I'm trying to put into these bags. Because it's just, like, this really cool moment of experiencing, like, everybody coming together. And he's up there with a soundtrack. Of that. And, like, it's a really dark day. I know that some people's birthdays, but it's still, like, a darkness that kind of sifts over us when that day comes. Oh, yeah, yeah. And it was just, like, I couldn't help but feel, like, connected to a lot of people, even though I didn't know anybody.

I was just standing there by myself and I'm like oh gosh I don't know anybody and I'm crying I have a hairnet on my head like there's a lot of images happening but it was just a really cool experience so I highly encourage anybody if they get a chance to volunteer on 9-11 I just feel like it's a great way to come together as it reminds like the whole purpose they wanted to do is remind people what we were like after that event happened and everybody came together is exactly what it was like yeah that's actually a great way to look at it's really cool did anyone from our show or in the community that you knew or recognized showed up No. On the text chain, people were like, I'm going. Yeah, Amy tried, but she couldn't find parking because it was on a college campus, so it was kind of a hot mess as far as the parking studio. So she did really try and come. She was out there and she was like, I cannot find a parking spot to save my life. What about Lauren?

And Lauren was like, I'm going to be there? She said she had to work. She had some work stuff going on. So I don't know. So I was chilling. Mom was here that day. Everyone got the hell out of here pretty quick. I did invite.

Lauren, coming out. I want to call you out real quick. We're going to do like we did on the other show. No, poor girl. You left here that day at 10 o'clock. Where did you really go? Poor girl. Poor girl.

Those are facts, by the way. I did invite the show, though. I like that you're just going over that. Well, yeah, because it's fine. Like, people have life. You got lied to. I mean, it's fine. Life happens, right?

Yeah, yeah. I get it. So I, but I did invite the show and no, nobody else came. Just me and my love. There was all these companies there. Excuse me. Let me be honest with you. There was all these companies there.

and they were having all these like team building moments. And I showed up and I'm like, Where's your team at? Well, can I join your team? Exactly. I don't have one. Literally what I did. I was like, can I join your team?

I wanted to come, but I actually was here working. I know. I know you were. And I was here up until probably like two or three o'clock in the afternoon. I didn't see one else here that late. So it's kind of interesting that no one else was able to make it because they were all working. I don't know. What were they were working on?

Well, lunchbox told me they had to do the sore losers. I'm like, sir, you could do the sore losers at any point in time. Yeah. Yeah. But no, nobody wanted to hang out with me, apparently. So I was team building with Belmont. Wow. Holy crap.

That's crazy. I think legitimately the only one that was here as late as me that day was Eddie. He was actually here doing videos and stuff on that Monday. I'm not looking at my counter to see what was going on. Monday the 11th. Yeah, everyone, everyone, okay. Interesting. Interesting.

Well, I'm calling BS and everyone that said that they had to work when they weren't here. Well, I would just like to say that. What do you want to say? Next year, I would really like for us to all go together. We should, yes. We should have a plan on it and make it a point. because I also remember I couldn't do it too because I had a call

with the festival call because that's coming up this weekend and I'm like well I can't miss that and then I did have just work to do in general to pound through to get to that call and I was like man everyone's gone I could use a helping hand here

but they're all working though right but you're having a moment you're having a breakdown moment you're having to break down on air yeah because yeah I know I get it but listen I get it life happens but I would like to make sure next year

that we all go together because I think it'd be a really cool experience for our show to go and do something like that. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll make sure everyone is working. Even though I tried to this time. Yeah, I know, I know.

You really did, you really tried. You tried. I think as soon as Gator sent that email, you were immediately sending a group text like, hey, he wants to do this, let's do it. Did you want it from the Big 98 show up? Because they were the ones that were spearheading it at first, right? No, it was just Gator, like, from our Big 98.

Oh, dang. I think if they were, they were showing up earlier. Oh, because they had two different times. Yes. They probably did the earlier one. So I don't know if they ended up doing it or not. Okay. Because I also know like Wayne D went out to L.A. for the Jelleyroll thing.

So I'm not sure if he ended up being able to. Like I said, life happens. Life happens. Yeah. Well, I understand that side. Yeah. I want to make sure like next year we can make something like that. Yeah, yeah.

Well, see, that'd be great. Because it's cool. Otherwise, I'm going to be team building and getting. To be it all by yourself. Another company that I don't know. Exactly. Yeah. But yeah.

So that was good. Did you come up with any while I was going on these? I was distracted by all your telling something goods. Okay. I think I need a moment to think about it. Hold on one second. Come on. It's time for the good news.

Tell me something good. My tell me something good is that this podcast will be shorter than an hour. So there's my tell me something good, something good that will happen. What's the next thing you have, Morgan? Okay. Moving on. There was an anonymous report on a show member, which people were just loving. The hilarious part of this is that I know for sure who it was, not because I, like, nobody told me.

I just know. And some people thought it was you. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I'm the one that put together the audio, but it wasn't me. I'll say that at least. Yeah. No.

I put in the exact pitch of if you've watched Home Alone to Lawson, New York, when he goes to buy the rent the hotel room from the ding dang dong. You know that scene where he passes Donald Trump and he's in the hotel? Yes, I've seen it, but it's been a long time. He has a talk boy and he's like, hello, this is Mr. McAllister. So you use that voice? I use that, like, pitch. I found the pitch and tone that they used for that for the talk boy.

and I almost wanted to put a drop at the end when I almost said who did it I almost wanted to put at the end a drop from the movie that said credit card you got it but I was like nah I won't do that added a little like Easter egg in there yeah exactly yeah just for people who watched

someone I knew the pitch and tone of that voice but anyways well but people thought it was you people thought it was me maybe it could be me you don't know we even revealed who it is you already said it was it oh well and it's not all right I'm pretty sure who wasn't in the show you can figure out who it is Maybe, maybe not.

Because this person gives himself away. The way that they talk, like in the way that they go about things, is very obvious. I even try to take their breath patterns out so that it wouldn't sound the same way as they breathe. Well, it's also this person really likes to repeat themselves. And that was in it. Like, there's only one person on the show. That person repeats themselves even more. That was an edited down version.

I think the first initial one was like a minute. I'm like, now that needs to be 20 seconds. It's literally this person's like calling hard to repeat things. So that would be why. I figured out who it was. I want to talk about if you've watched anything, and this is where I would like to talk you about interstellar because, holy crap, it was so good.

Yeah. Holy crap. Yeah, Interstellar is a long, long movie, but a really, I think the first time I watched it, I was at my friend's house. We were, I was living back in, I just moved to L.A. I was in Huntington Beach hanging out of his apartment,

and we had smoked a shit ton. Oh, God, thank you. Leave it in. We were in California. It's legal. Get over it. We were smoking a little bit. I remember watching it had just come out.

And because it's so long, I thought maybe, you know, at some point, whatever, it was going to become an end, like hour and a half fan, I start fading out. And I wake up to being super loud, like an hour and a half. It's still going. I'm like, this movie is long. Three and a half hours, I think it is, the running time. I think it's two and a half hours. Super long. Well, I had, so like.

But then I had to watch it again later in life. I think like five years later, I watched it, Stone Cold, Sober. And I was like, whoa, this is incredible. Two hours, 49 minutes. Okay. All right. I did. I stayed up until 2 a.m.

watching it. Dang. Okay. What'd you think about it? Well, I mean, listen, like, visually, so freaking amazing. Yeah. But also, like, not only that, it just made me think, like, this could be the reality of, like, all these UFO things that we see. Like, they could actually be us from the future. Oh, totally. Just come back. Yeah. That's such a cool concept. And the fact that nobody, like, has done that besides interstellars is kind of crazy to me. Yeah. But, like, just thinking about that and thinking that the possibility, that all the signs we see and all these like a book dropping off a shelf or somebody saying something could be us trying to find a way to communicate with ourselves.

Yeah, isn't that cool? Is wild. Like when I tell you it mind effed me like straight up I was sitting there and I was like, this is really messing with me. But I loved it like in the best way. Yeah. So that was like, okay, so if you've never seen it, I fell into that. Because I told you, I've been on my sci-fi, which I was trying to remember what movie

you told me to watch. I told you to watch. I think the most recent one was the usual suspects. No, it was like a, you said it was a great sci-fi movie, and it's like a couple years old. I'll let you remember it at some point. You can tell me at other point in time, but I just like, we talked about it on Best Bits,

and you told me you'd really love this show because I told you I was trying to watch a whole lot of sci-fi movies. So just put that back in your brain, and maybe you'll remember. Was it a TV show on Netflix called The Other, um... No, it was a movie. A movie. And it's a couple years old. Like maybe from the 2014 or something.

Oh, man. I know. It's okay. Oh, Cloud Atlas. Yeah, there it is. With Tom Hanks and Hallie Berry. Okay. Cloud Atlas.

I need to watch that this weekend because I was trying to remember what it was. And it was like, it was literally like midnight on Saturday. I was like I'm not, yeah, I'm not texting Scoo Misty right now to find out what that movie was. Like, my wife's like, uh, why is Morgan texting you at midnight? On a Saturday? Like, do you have to work? Uh-huh. Oh, well, heads up.

I forgot about this. Cloud Atlas is also, and it must be a sci-fi thing, two hours and 52 minutes. That's okay. Start that one earlier. I'll watch it a little bit earlier. Yeah, yeah. No going into it. It's long, but no going into it.

At the end, you're going to be like, whoa. Scoba, I can't fall asleep during movies. Like, if I'm watching something new, I cannot fall asleep. Like, I will have to turn it off in order for me to go to bed. Okay. So I will have to watch this there a little bit earlier. And then don't listen to Rotten Tomatoes because that whole side I knew from day one was a crock of crap. It says 66%.

So it must have been pushed down because there's another movie that came out around that time frame. What's the audience score? Audience score is, well, IMDB says 7. Okay. Google users, 81% like the movie. Okay. So I feel like that has always outweighed Rotten Tomatoes, which by the way, film critics, quick side tangent on film critics,

they are kind of like what we call in our industry, people who tried it, did it, but weren't successful at it, or always wanted to do it. And so they're the biggest critiquers of what you do. Teachers, never the doers. So film critics, and most of them, and most of the ones that I've seen are met or whatever, They're the ones that always wanted to write a script or a film or direct a movie or act in a movie but never did or did like low budge piece of crap indie stuff that never went anywhere. And so they're so salty and they're so pissed off at the industry. So they just nitpicked the hell out of movies because they would have done it differently and I would have done it that way.

And you know, I would have used this tapestry from like, shut up. Okay. I always look at the audience score because we are the ones that consume it. Yep. And we're the ones that, yeah, we turn our brains off and enjoy it. We're not nitpicking every little thing and continuity. I mean there are some things we look at like, oh my God, that's kind of whatever. And we like dumb movies sometimes.

The 80s and 90s rock for comedies because they were so dumb. The whole Happy Madison era and all that, it was cheesy. Rotten Tomatoes probably would have gave them 10% back then, but we would have it 100% because they're fun and we like it. Oh, I'm pretty sure all my favorite rom-coms on Rotten Tomatoes are like totally like, what do they call them? Smash. Yeah. They're down or whatever.

Yeah. Even though like their actual classics. Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes is crap. It's always been crap and will always be crap. And now it just showed their cards that they are crap. And I'm telling right now from the experience of living in Hollywood and seeing and knowing film critics, they're crap. Don't listen to them. Okay. They're jaded. I don't anyway. And they've seen way too many films, so they're just way too much into it. And it's just like, shut up. Yeah, I just watch what I want to watch. And that too, yeah. You should enjoy what you want. You shouldn't have someone's opinion who is that jaded influence a film that you

want to watch. This also, by the way, has Tom Hanks in it and Hallie Berry. Yeah, I'll watch it. Like, come on. That's why I was trying to come up with what it was. And like I said, just didn't I want to text you that late. So I watched it herself and it was worth it. Okay. So put this in your phone so you don't text me again about it. You'll just know, Cloud Atlas. And you'll remember Tom Hanks, Hallie Berry.

I got you, Cloud Atlas. All right, cool. I also watched Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher for the first time. Oh, I've never seen that. And that's a good one. I've heard it's really good. I just, Tom Cruise is just, gosh, far and beyond just one of the best actors of my time. Like, and maybe he's considered other people's time.

I don't know. Just of the last several decades. He's one of the greatest actors of that. Oh, he's like the pinnacle, yeah. He's just so good. And by the way, Rotten Tomatoes gives that one 63%. Of course it does. Of course it does.

But it's a great action movie. Like, is it anything like super special? No. But I just love watching Tom Cruise because I feel like he's so good at this particular role of like action movies and being that like lead. He knows his lane. Yes. And he's good.

And this is that. So I would, if you want like a good, cool action movie, Jack Reacher. Okay. And there's a lot of, there's a few different ones I think. There's now a TV show of Jack Reacher. Yeah, because he's Jim from the office. He's Jack Reacher? Jack Ryan, which was a great show on Amazon.

Is the same thing or different? Different. Similar concepts. I mean, they're action and these people are like, you know, undercover some special ops person. But Jack Ryan on Amazon, Scuba, was phenomenal. Okay. I binge watched that one hard. And then I also watched One Piece on Netflix.

What's that one? So it's a live action remake of an anime show. One Piece, okay. And it was really good because it had action. It had like superhero vibes. It had hunting for treasure. And it had these like quirky characters. I think you would really like this one.

And your kids would like it too. I don't know if it's like totally family rated. I'm not sure what the rating is, but it was so good. It says here, it doesn't really have a rating on here because it's Netflix. I don't know. Yeah, I never even heard of it. Yeah. Okay.

So it just came out. But it's like this live, and I never watched the anime. So I had no reference before. I just watched it because I love. love, like, kind of treasure hunting shows. Uh-huh. Oh, that's what you're the treasure hunting? Okay.

It's treasure hunting, but they've also, some people have, like, powers, and it's just quirky. It's, like, its own universe. Uh-huh. And I think you would really enjoy it. So this is a movie or a TV show? TV show. Okay. But it's only, like, seven episodes.

Oh, oh, this one with the pirate ship. Yeah. I'm watching a trailer. So, I don't know how I got mixed into this, and I don't know if you know about this, but Netflix, they sent me a DM, and I was like, Netflix just DM me. That's crazy. Because then we work with them a decent amount. That's how we got Adam Sandler and all that stuff on the show.

Yeah. And they DM me and it was like an Instagram DM for One Piece. And I'm part of this like DM chain that they added me to. And they sent me like clips and they did like this whole like premiere thing on here. And I watched it or whatever. And I was like, oh, this is really cool. And what got me was this picture right here of a sea monster. Yeah.

And I was like, whoa, this is so cool. I was like, man. And then the pirate ship with the little sheep thing on the front of it or whatever. I was like, damn, this is so awesome. So that's what it is. Okay, cool. So did you know watching it or were you just watching the clips? I was just watching these clips and I was like, man, I need to take time to watch this.

But then I was also like, oh, you got to wait for my wife to come back in town because this is something she's going to want to watch. So, because it looks really cool. Okay, awesome. Oh, my God. I don't know if my kids can watch this. I was insane. I'm not sure what the rating is. I do think I think in any of the stuff that does happen that might be like adultish would go over their head.

Okay. Because like I'll allow him to watch the first Harry Potter because it's very innocent. But once you get into the second one and third and fourth, so I could, starts to get too dark for a five-year-old. Yeah, and I don't think, there's never, like, super dark. It's rated TV 14. Oh, yeah, he can't watch that. Yeah, sometimes he can barely touch the TV 7.

Okay, okay. Yeah. I don't know what the different ratings are. TV 14 is probably like PG-13 back in the day, so it'd be like, would you take your, would your mom have taken you at five to a PG-13 movie? Maybe. Oh, okay. I watched a lot of stuff.

I watched two and a half men with my dad. Oh, my God. I couldn't watch. And home improvement. Oh, my God. Home improvement that we watched because it was an ABC. But I remember one time I was watching Saved by the Bell and that episode came on where she was taking sugar pills or some crap or whatever. I'm so excited.

I was like, what are you watching? I was like, Save by the Bell. And she was like, you can't watch these teenage situation type shows. And then she banned me from that. Couldn't watch The Simpsons. I had to watch The Simpsons in the garage with my dad, like hidden on volume three. So my mom wouldn't hear. Like we were so sheltered on TV.

It was only Disney and Nickelodeon and that was it. That's fair. I did watch a lot of Disney and Nickelodeon. But I think it's honestly so much of it went over my head. Like I could not tell you half of the story. stuff that I watch that I don't remember. You know what I mean? Home Alone.

You'd watch Home Alone now. I'm like, oh, they meant that? Yeah. But like it went over our head. Well, Disney had all these kind of underlying things too. So that's why I'm like, it's more like loosely up to you than anything. Totally. That's good point.

But you could start watching it and you could decide that way. I think it's super awesome and really quirky. I think you would love it. Okay. So definitely go into that show. Okay. I will. Yeah, yeah.

I didn't expect myself either. Like when it ended, I was like, oh, that was it? There's not more? How many episodes? There's like seven episodes so far. Okay. You feel like there's a second season coming? I have a feeling they're going to do more, yeah.

Yeah. Because I think that anime version of it has been around for a bit. So there's that audience that, because anime is massive across the globe. Massive. Okay. So that makes sense. I do think it might, depending on how well it's received and you know all that good stuff. But I loved it.

And I think you'll like it. Okay. All right, cool. I guess as we're talking here, I'm just curious to see. What does Rotten Tomatoes think about one piece? Oh, probably not good, you know? As our thing. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 85% actually.

Well, that's surprising. It is, yeah. But the Google users give it 96%. So they give it even higher. Yeah, and that's probably anime fans rating that. And if they're saying it's a great, like live action remake of it, then that's a good thing. Okay, that's cool. Yeah.

That's probably nothing to people are, I'm sure if you're a huge anime fan, you're like, oh, no, they're going to mess with the integrity of my series. And it's going to suck. But then you watch it, oh, that's pretty cool. Yeah. And the league guy, like, you end up really liking him. Like, he's just like a really likable character. Okay. So, yes, that one.

Do you have any recommendations to TV? show or movies or anything besides bluey exactly i don't know what was the last thing i've watched that was a television show uh man that's okay if not i just wanted to make sure if you had some you were really passionate about i mean honestly i haven't watched tv i can't think the last time i watched a tv show or a movie it's been a minute even when we were on vacation even we were on vacation yeah because we were on vacation but i still came into work and i was still a normal day with my family they were still at school and came home and the kids were still at the kids and they were doing their thing And then when I was in Hawaii, we didn't watch any TV.

I watched TV zero times. If you were watching TV in Hawaii, I'll probably call you out on that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I watched no TV. And then when my wife was gone, I was planning on watching a bunch of TV and getting ahead on stuff and all that crap. And then I ended up not doing that either. I ended up working a lot and doing other things. So I was like, dang, I haven't really caught up on anything at all, zero.

So, no, I have nothing to recommend. Well, and I just added more to your list. Exactly, yeah. I recommend people don't watch TV and movies and go out and do things in the world. Maybe that's my recommendation. I do that too. I do that too. I have a good balance going on in my life.

That's good. But I don't have kids. But I love TV though. I mean, I love TV. We grew up on TV. So I'm not hating on it. I'm just like, I don't have anything. It's a good balance.

Yeah. I feel the same. On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth with John Ho-Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the Bucconista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth

to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich.

That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong. financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien

from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, Ernest, what's up? Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn income into real wealth. On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship.

American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. Ramos sending on to Ernie Stewart the chip. I'm Ty Bramos. I'm Tom Boe. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines. I'm not worried about Polic. I'm not worried about Balas.

I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals.

The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Well, we did also have some investment ideas that happened on the show this week. Yeah, we did. And, you know, there's whole segments on this, so we're not going to dive into it.

But do you like Amazon? It's good with Steve. Amazon? I do and I don't. I love the convenience of it, and I get and I see what they're trying to do there. But I also don't like the fact that the quality of the products for a lot of them, then when you receive them, they're crap. I feel like they give the, I feel like if you go to the store to buy whatever and you get

same thing on Amazon. I feel like the Amazon gets like the Ross version where it's a little bit wrong or something's not quite right with it. It's like it's like a defected. Yeah. Is there something defected about it or it doesn't last as long as a cheaper version of it? I think it's a scam. I feel like they're making money off of like broken, just crappy products. That's probably true. And I also don't like that some things you get them and they'll send the wrong one or you think it's this and it's not that. Or it takes a little bit longer. I like, I kind of like, and I've always been old school and comedy crotchy, old man of wanting four television channels, five quality sitcoms, waiting a year and a half for a sequel. You're blending a little bit too much into lunchbox.

Yeah, I know, I know. Being patient and waiting for a good product versus crappy and fed to you too much and too frequent. So I'm coming from that perspective, but I like, I love going to a store. And I like, especially for clothing, I like to try it on and hold it and see it. Now, granted, if there's something that I want, I don't have my. size and then I kind of know based on okay the medium and it fit me or the large or the large or the large or I'll order it online but I like going to the store and getting it I like taking it home that day I come from the era of when you would go buy new shoes you

like you want to wear them out or you want to keep me in the box and then to be like well you I want to wear them out and you put the old crappy ones in the box that smelled like poop and you put the new shoes on you felt like a million bucks so I come from that generation in that era and I feel like if this newer generation and the next ones after that got a taste of what it was like to the instant gratification, which they're also super obsessed with. Yeah. You would get the instant gratification of getting what you wanted in that moment and the experience they've been able to look at it and see it.

And then when you go to the mall, you have lunch or you get a pretzel, what's those pretzel, auntie's pretzel, whatever. There was a whole experience of going to the mall and shopping and going places and then being on the hunt for it or finding the best deal. So you go to this shoe store or to that one and this one. You find the same one for $25 cheaper. And then it was like, oh, heck yeah. And then you go with friends or family and walk around.

It was like an event. And so I'm coming from that perspective of like, man, I'm so over the whole Amazon thing. Only when it's convenient, I would not use it as my day-to-day means of shopping or purchasing. I am with you. I don't, I am bummed to see that a lot of stores and stuff are closing. And I would love for the both because I do think Amazon's super convenient for a lot of things. And I do utilize it a lot. But I also like to go shopping.

And I go to the mall a lot too. And I like, I still like, to your point, love to walk around and have the experience of going to the mall. But the reason I was asking. Okay. You didn't want me to go in this like, Crotched old man ran. I had to let you have your tangent. You always have one.

But I wanted to know if there was a product because to your point, yes, there are times you buy stuff. You're like, why did I buy that? Is there a product you have bought on Amazon that you don't regret buying at all? And I'm bringing this to you because I had bought this dog bowl that is literally changed my life. Okay. Let me look at my history while you're talking. It's like this, it's a little dog water bottle, like water bottle essentially. And it has like a piece built in that you just.

just push a button and the water goes into it for them to drink. And then if they don't drink at all, you press the button again and it sucks it right back in. Oh, that's really cool. So, like, if you're walking your dog, if you go on road trips, Remy always comes on adventures with me. So it's so handy to have. And it has this little contraption that has room for treats in it where you put where the water normally is. You just pull that out. So you can have treats and water and a bowl.

And it's all packed into one nice, tiny bottle. And it was like $10. That's awesome. So, like, not expensive to have such a cool little contraption. That's pretty cool. Yeah, so that was a great... So you found that through Amazon, like, you're researching and, like, typing in, I need XYZ and then it showed up.

Well, so, like, yeah, my mom actually was the one who found it on Amazon. It was like, you really need this as much as roommate comes with you everywhere. Yeah. And she found it through Amazon, like, finding and looking for different things. So, yeah, that's the one product I have bought from Amazon that I don't regret buying. I'm looking to see what we have here. A lot of its, like, last second stuff. Like, oh, we need more of this, like, baby thing or this for the kids.

In true dad fashion, that should be the way. You probably don't have a lot of impulse buying on Amazon if I had to guess. No, I do not. It seems to be more a non-child situation. Yeah, I'm trying to see if there's anything here that's like, oh, that was really awesome. I'm glad I bought it. It's kind of like how you always heard are telling me. That was so cool.

Well, and in the other fashion of also water, I have a cat water fountain, which has also been magical because I never have to fill it. Remy and Hazel both drink out of it, and I have to fill it like once a week. along also with the litter robot that I have that is magical and I never have to change the litter. So I really like technology. Oh, here's a couple. Here's a couple things. So because where we live, there isn't really a high Asian population here. And I tend to love the food.

My wife's Filipino and Chinese. So when you go to the grocery store, there's like this international food section. And it's the size of my thumb. And it has like just the basic stuff. And if you want to find anything that's also like where I was living last in California, I have this place called 99 Ranch. and it was basically the size of Publix, but it was all different types of Asian foods.

I have one of those right by my house. Oh, the international. Yeah, you have one of those markets there. Yeah, but it's not, I guess what I... I don't know what it. I only went in when we, everybody made us bring in freaking international foods we had to try it. That was the time that I went in there.

I went there once, it was okay. It kind of reminded of like a Windixie. Oh, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, like that where the 99 Ranch is more like Publix. It's like the bougie version. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. But they have more to offer there. I remember like 99 ranch, you could get.

get food to go. They had this whole back wall of fresh caught, because they were by the ocean in California, all this fresh caught seafood and fish and crab and lobster and shrimps and all kinds of stuff and all these really cool unique snacks and whatever yada yada and you could get anything you needed there. And down here, I can't even sometimes get a simple freaking bottle of soy sauce or sweet chili or for example, we put on our rice a lot. This thing is called for kake. Macaki and it's like this like sprinkle you put on top of rice. What is it? What is it?

It's basically like a breakup of like different seeds and seasonings and like slivers of what do you call it seaweed paper and we just kind of put on top of the rice to add a little flavor to it. So it's like everything bagel seasoning but for Asian food. Exactly. Yeah. And you can't find those things here or you can't find the larger bottles of it here which we used to buying.

So Amazon because it's an international market all over the world, you can get those things. So that's actually been kind of helpful for Amazon by getting those things that we used to get that we can no longer get. I did buy on Amazon. Have you ever heard of, did you ever get crunch ice cream, like a crunch coat from Dairy Queen? Did you ever hear of those? Crunch cut from Degree. No, what is that?

I think it was a Kansas thing because like the Kansas Dairy Queen still has it, but other Dairy queens don't. It's like this magical mixture of peanuts and sprinkles and other things that basically are sugar. And you put it on like ice cream. Crunch Cucing. A boat or cup? Crunch coat. Okay.

And I'm saying it fast. So that might be why I said it's not like cup. But it reminds me of that, but it's for ice cream and you put it on ice cream. And when I tell you, Scuba is so amazing. You will love it. And on Amazon, they have like a one pound bag of it. So because I couldn't get it in Tennessee, I bought it off Amazon. I had devoured that thing in like a week.

It was amazing. I need more of this immediately. So to your point, it does offer like things that you could never find anywhere else. Yeah, exactly. So there is that moment. Okay. All right, yeah, so there are benefits, but then I weigh on the heavy negatives, unfortunately. That's okay.

And what was the seasoning called? For kake. It's about F-U-R-I-K-K-A-K-K-E. Okay. It could be Fury Kaki or for Kakee, I'm not really sure. Don't ask me. You know that I'm going to mispronounce that very wrong. Yeah, I just knew where to go.

I just knew where to go. And even like hoison sauce. You can't even get hoist and sauce here. And if you do, it's like a small little freaking, it's hoist and sauce is what I used to put in when I went like my fah. It's like this really dark, thick, like almost like blackish, brownish liquid. Okay. And I use it in my fah or my vermicelli. And it's so freaking good.

Okay. I've never heard of that. Oh yeah. I do know soy sauce though. Hoison sauce. That's all I got. Hoison sauce. Woo.

I can even just eat it by itself. It's so delicious. Oh my gosh. Well, don't do that. We don't need to end up in a hospital or something. Oh, yeah. It's too late I've already done it a lot. And I have been in the hospital.

So I will continue to do whenever I get back to the West Coast. Well, I'm glad. And I am excited. that you have found some things that you miss from California to here. At least that's helpful for that reason. That is helpful for that reason, yes, yeah. If I want to put family in a box and ship them over here, that'd be nice too. Hey, ditto.

If we can figure, well, don't put them in a box because that's probably not be a nice trip. Probably not yet. Yeah, but if we can find like easy space travel, that's how we figure that out. Okay, cool. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Maybe we'll get on that. We did have Dan and Shea stopped by the show there in the number one spot this week.

They played some Popit with Bobby. and also talked about new music. It was just good to have them on. So Dan and Shea interview, if you want to check that out on the best bits, part to just the bits. But scuba, we did it. We did it.

the high score was 53, which is my high score. And then when I heard him going and going and he got to a point where I had never heard before in the game Boppet, I was like, son of a phone. He's going to beat my heart.

I score. And then I kept here and then I was here like wow I've never heard Bobbitt do this before. So I won't reveal how high he went but good Lord. He went. He like blew past my high high score. So that's why you were really bitter. Oh so bitter. And I went and I could have made my son so proud and then we went home later that day and we're playing Bopit and it was like high score. And he's like, whoa dad. And I'd be like, what was me due to some jerk that came in our studio. I'm surprised you did. Just be like yeah, that was me. I'm going to lie to him. Oh man. Okay.
