Welcome to the weekend, everybody. Eddie is joining me. Edd, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me, Morgan. Did I just give you a new name? What was that? I don't know. I didda.

It's like I'm trying to learn to speak again. I feel like I'm just reverting. What happens sometimes with me is funny is that when I type my name, sometimes I type so fast, it comes out Edo. And I'm like, man, that's not a bad name. Like, Edo is not a bad name that I could. adopt at some point. You know how like you just have a nickname? Yes.

Okay. This is my pet peeve though is I got given a name that doesn't have nicknames. Morgan. Yeah. Morgi. Morgan. Yeah. Morgi. Okay, but morgue is weird and morgue is a cemetery. True. You don't want to be a morgue. No. Exactly. But how about Moe though? Mo's good. I don't know. Mo feels like, you know, like Larry, Moe and Curly. Yeah. The three stooges? Yeah. Like I feel like an old. man or it shouldn't be an old man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you. I just don't really feel like I have a name that was destined for nicknames,

which is always a bummer because everybody just always has to call me Morgan and that's so boring. What do you think about when people do like M? Like some people will call me A-E. I'm like, what? Like, don't, what? Yeah, E feels weird to me. M doesn't feel as weird, but E, something about it being a vowel. Oh, oh, that's the problem, the vowel.

I don't, it's like A-E-I-O-U, like the... Yeah, yeah. Imagine if you were a U. Hey, you. Ah, dang. I mean, you, as in the letter. What names start with you? Ulysses. Uh, Ursula.

Oh, yeah. Urgent. No, that's a word. That's not a name. A lot of name. I think we covered them. Ursula and Ulysses. I feel like there's one more we're missing.

Oh, is Eugene? No, Eugene's with an E. Yeah, that's the silent E. Yeah. U. U. Usher. Usher.

Usher. I bet you, I bet you his people call him you. Hey, what do you want to play tonight? You know, this also makes me think when you were naming your kids, like with your wife, how does it happen where like, are you guys just sitting on the table and you're like, okay, this is what I've always thought of. Are you just like drawn from random places? What's funny is the first, our first child, we like had, I mean, we were dating for like forever, right?

Before we got married and then we got married. So we already had a name. Like when we were dating, we're like, hey, if we ever have a kid, we're going to name it. You ever do that like with your boyfriend or any of your boyfriends? I don't do it. I didn't mean for that to be rude. No. Stop.

It's not what I meant. I just meant, have you ever done that? Not like, I've never done it with somebody. I've done it on my own. Like, if I ever have a child, I would want these two names, like one for a boy and one for a girl. But you never done that with like someone you're together with? No. I really haven't.

I was like, you know, in high school when you're like spelling the hearts and you're like, ooh, where does the last name go together? How does that look? Like, I would do that crap. I never did that. You never did that? No. Well, I guess it makes sense because they take your name.

Oh, right. Traditionally, yes, you're right. Yeah, so you wouldn't be like putting Eddie Smith or Eddie. Changing the last name. Violet. Just in case tradition just changes all of a sudden. But you wouldn't like write a girl's name and put her, your life. last name to it to see if it was like a vibe.

Uh-uh. Never. Did you feel vibes on anyone you did that with? Oh, sometimes I'd be like, dang, I really don't like that last name. So you're like, uh-uh, can't, won't ever happen. Well, it was always funny, like, when it worked out, like, this is, again, this is back when I was in, like, middle school and high school. And I was like, you know, the name didn't really fit anyway. So this makes sense.

Well, there you go. Then that means we're not supposed to be together. But as far as the child's name, like, I don't know. We had like two, if it was a girl, it was going to be this. If it was a boy is going to be this. And then when it really goes down, you're like, oh, I got a new name. I got a whole new name. I think this is going to be it.

But my wife totally had. She had the first name picked out. She was ready to go with that. So I didn't fight it. I liked it. And I was like, let's go with it. But I'm naming the second one. And I named the second one.

And she didn't fight your choice for the name? She tried to get it. She tried to have, okay, so this is how it went down. She tried to get his first name. Like, she wanted his first name. So our agreement was like, okay, but I want to name his middle name and we are going to call him by his middle name. And that's what we settled with.

Wait. Does that make sense? Yeah, but so like you got, you did get a name the second child, but you guys don't call him by his middle. No, no, no. No, no. I got the name. Okay.

She didn't want that to be his first name So I said fine Name him your name the first name And give me the middle name But we are going to call him the middle name Okay He goes by his middle name Got it

So he so much goes by his middle name That when people call him his first name Like at school He doesn't respond to it That's funny Like he forgets that that's his name Why didn't she like your choice For the first name?

She didn't like the way It was like you She probably wrote it down And I was like I just don't like The way this flows It is true Because it's kind of funny

like the two names that I've chosen for like the girl and a boy, I do like think like middle names that I potentially want. Because I've thought about this. If I do have kids one day, my dad has only daughters. And I'm like faced with a decision of, you know, am I going to take his last name? But then if I do that, I'd want to somehow, you know, honor my dad in some way.

Yeah. And I've been trying to make his names fit with my names. I'm like, these aren't working. And then I'm like, then I'm more of a dilemma of like, okay, do I have to give up the names that I always wanted? Like, how does this work? Do you mean like if you have a boy name him after your dad? Is that what you mean?

Yeah, potentially, you know, just like because if I do decide to get rid of like my last name, I'm the last one of his children with that name because he didn't have any boys. So it's not like there's going to be, there's, there'll be a continuation of our family name with extended family, but like his, you know what I mean? Yeah, but a lot of people keep your name as the middle name, right? Like Morgan, Hewelsman, whatever your new last name is going to be. Yeah, but see, my last name is just so like, it's a mouthful already. Hewelsman.

You know, if it was like Morgan Smith, then that makes sense. But like Morgan Hewelsman, eh, eh, like, it just feels like a lot. And I already have two middle names, Eddie. Oh, right, right. Hold on. Morgan Lane. Yeah. Morgan Lane, what?

Nicole. Dang, I forgot about the Nicole. I know. So then you have Morgan Lane, Nicole, Hewelsman, blah, blah, blah. You can't keep all that. You're going to have to get rid of Lane and Nicole, though. I know, but I love those too much. Hold on. Hold on. Let's talk this out.

So if you were Morgan, Morgan Lane, Nicole, blah, blah, blah, blah, your new last name, that's the same as Morgan Hewelsman, blah, blah, blah. Maybe even, it may be shorter if you're Morgan Hewelsman, blah, blah. I know, but I really love my middle names. Yeah. You know? I get that. I get that.

But if you want to honor Papa, I know. You might have to do it that way. See, look at the dilemma. I'm in, Eddie. No, no, no. This is so common, Morgan. Like, I'm telling you when you have kids, you have all these conversations.

Like, I remember my wife was like, I don't want to keep my maiden last name. Like, I want to keep my middle name. Like, you're saying. And her family was like, whoa, like, we're all girls over here. Like, you got to keep the maiden name. Oh, so she was faced with a similar situation. Exact same deal. Did any of the daughters, like, honor,

or their dad in some way? Honored them by naming one of their kids' middle names. Okay. So see, it got passed down. I mean, her family is very, like, traditional. So some of them, like, use grandparents' names, Maiden's last name. Like, a lot of, they incorporated those in their names somewhere.

Not necessarily just their first name, but somewhere in their name they, like, honored people from the past. What about your name? Was your name passed down? I don't think so. I don't know. There's any other Eduardo's in my family. Or middle name?

Like, did anything about you get passed down? Uh-uh. No, because my brother's a junior. So my brother and my dad had the same name. And then mine, I guess they were just trying something different. But I love my name. I love Eddie. Eddie.

Because it's just, it's kind of different, right? Like, yes, we know a lot of eddies, but not that many eddies. Did you ever get, like when you were in trouble, were you Eduardo? Yes. I was Eduardo Luis, like my full name. Oh. You knew when somebody said the middle name, you were in trouble. Yes.

Yes. What's funny, though, is like that's what my parents did. But now that I'm a dad, I never do that. You never use their middle names? No. Not like when they're really, really in trouble. Like, just full name it. Nope.

Nope. And especially the one that we call his middle name, like that would just be too confusing. You say his full name. He'd be like, I don't even understand what's happening here. I don't even know who you are. So no, I don't do that. That's interesting. Do you feel like you like didn't want to pass it down that way?

I don't know. I don't know. I just like, it just never rolled off my tongue. Does your wife ever do it? Their full names? Mm-mm. Mm-mm. We don't do it. Dang.

So their full names are just kind of throwaways. I feel like the whole purpose of a full name is so you can get yelled at. When you're mad? Yeah, because I know when my dad would be like, Morgan Lane, Nicole Hilsman, I was in trouble. See, that's too much. Like I don't want to spend on. Morgan Lane Hughes, Morgan Nicole laid, blah, blah, blah.

That's too much. I know, but like, it was like, Morgan, you know, I'm not in trouble. Morgan Lane, I'm getting there. Morgan Lane, Nicole, I'm already in trouble. And then the full name, I was in deep doo-doo. Oh, yeah. Like the level of tone happened with my full name. How often were you in trouble?

A lot. Really? You were a trouble kid? Yeah, I mean, again, I was the last one, right? So I pushed the boundaries. You got away with a lot, I bet. Yeah, so I would get away with a lot. And then I'd push even further boundaries because I was already getting away.

with a lot, you know, but it allowed me to grow up quicker because I kind of experienced a lot of life quickly. So when you like, when you were growing up, did your sisters have like strict rules? But by the time it got to you, you're like, I can stay out as late as I want. I can do whatever. And because that's usually what happens with like parents, the oldest child, you're like, oh, very strict, trying to figure it all out. And then you realize, ah, not that big of a deal. So when the youngest comes around, like everything's cool. Wait,

because you're the oldest, aren't you? I'm the middle. Oh, you're the middle child. Mm-hmm. Did you ever? But the problem was my youngest,

our youngest in our family was my sister. And we're all boys. Like, it was two boys and a sister. So there wasn't any easier with a sister because like my dad was just terrified when he had a daughter. It was like, oh, she's not going anywhere.

She's not dating anyone. He was very scared of her. like growing up. So do you feel like the most lax your parents were probably on you? Yes. But I also wasn't trouble. You never got in trouble? No, not true. I got I did get in trouble. But compared to my brother, I was like a saint. Yeah. Again, he's the first child. I do feel like the oldest always gets the brunt because they're the first one and they're they're just learned parents are learning with the oldest. Yes. And it sucks for them. It really does. I know. That's why they say like you have like, the oldest child, you have the young, the dynamics are pretty like normal across the board.

Yeah. Because parents, and you can speak from a parent perspective, but I feel like you've felt that too, like your oldest. You were probably wildly different, which we kind of see, you know, we talk about like the concerts and music and everything like that. You're learning with him. He's the trailblazer, right? Like, he's the one asking to go to the concert.

So by the time the other ones want to go to a concert, we already realize that that's okay. He can go to concert at 17. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you just start realizing, oh, it was all fine. I don't know why we were worried about that. Well, and the pressure is on him a little bit too, because if it goes well, then yes, you do it. But if it goes bad, then no, they don't get to do it.

Correct. Like, if they do something sneaky or just ruin our trust on something, like, that could definitely trickle down to the other kids. Even though they may never even think about doing something sneaky or like, whatever. But it happens. So now we've got to be on guard. Yeah. It's tough, man.

Family dynamics are just so interesting to me in general. Yes. Because across the board, everybody has similar experiences, but then it's also unique. I don't know. It's interesting to hear about. Yeah. Well, it is interesting,

but what's tough is that you start thinking every kid's the same, right? So when you start talking to other parents, you're like, oh, I'm dealing with this. And I'm like, wow, I'm glad I've never had to dealt with that. But then because kids, you know, they're different people. Like people are different. Like, just people are made differently. So when you think you're parenting, you're like, okay, this is what you do to a kid.

Like even when we're talking about my kids on the show, lunchbox is like, you're an idiot. Why would you? But my son is different than his son. And we know, and Bobby said it before. You know, we're like, oh, I mean, you know your son better than we do. So, like, it's true. You start learning things about your kid because they're not like every other kid. So when you talk to a therapist, you talk to other parents, it's not a blanket statement on like, what's good for your kid.

Well, and parenting styles are different based on how you were also raised. Oh, correct. And then, and then what's get it's crazier is how your spouse was raised. Then it's like, oh my gosh. Well, I was raised like this. And they're like, well, I was raised like this. I'm like, well, what do we do? Let's meet in the middle somewhere.

It's very, it's challenging Morgan, Nicole, Lane, Huesman, and I hope you're ready for it. You know, you just butcher the ground out of it, but it's fine. I understand it's not full. Morgan Lane to go. Okay, I do want updates on the kids, but we're going to take a quick break, and I'll get the updates on the kiddos. 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.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.

It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck.

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 disinfected.

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.

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.

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.

So speaking of all the kids, what has been the latest or what's going on you and your wife? How are things? Like, how's life? No, life's chaotic. Yeah. Summer's hard for us because there's no school. So like we've got to put them in every camp or else they will just be bored at home. And when they're bored, they start fighting.

They start arguing or they start making a huge mess of the house, which is okay. Like if they can clean it up, but most of the time they don't want to clean it up. So by the time they're done doing the mess, like say they're bored, right? And I'm like, go, go people, go be creative. Like go in the garage and like there's a lot of stuff in the garage. Go be creative. Okay. And they go and they just rip it apart.

Okay. I always hear this from like parents, right? Where like summer's always a really tough one. I'm curious though, like, is it also that it's really fun because you can create some cool memories? Like when you get home from work, if they are home, you can go and do fun stuff with them or is it just truly too exhausting? Well, I mean, we still have work to do, right? Like with our job, like you go home and I still got, I still have like, you know, two, three hours left of work. So yes, I could take a break.

I can play with them a little bit, but that's still got to get stuff done. And it's funny, like, we just had this conversation the other day with my wife. Like, I try to tell them over and over, like, guys, just because it's summer, my life doesn't change. Like, you all's lives change. Like, you don't have school, but I still have work to do. I still have to go to bed early and wake up early. Them, they're like, can we watch a movie step up till midnight? Well, yeah, but I still have to go to bed early.

So it's tough. It's tough. And I know that like people love to throw around the word like, oh, it's summer. Like, relaxed. Yeah, but parents don't have summers off. So especially the ones that work. So it's, it's cool. Yes, it's fun because they are home and you get to do stuff with them.

But at the same time, man, it's, it's tough because like you try to, you're trying to stay on your regular schedule when they're definitely not on it. Oh, yeah. Well, and do you get like the summer fever with them where you do want to be going to do stuff and you're like, I have to do my normal. everyday life. Like, of course I want to be doing this. And I want to have sleepovers with you. And I want to, you know, play with water balloons. But I have responsibility.

I definitely want to watch the movie till midnight. Like, I do. I want to stay up and watch the movie with them. I want to go to the pool. Most of the time when I like get home, they're like, hey, we're going to the pool. And they all have their swim trunks on. I'm like, that sounds awesome. So you're getting dad fomo?

Yes. Well, I've even thought about taking my computer to the pool. But I've done that before. I've seen that before. And I'm like, that does not look fun. Yeah, well, at least we're sitting outside, better than sitting inside. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't gotten there yet.

I've been, I've been thinking about it, but I haven't gotten to dad at the working at the pool mode yet. You know what I mean? You know what I'm talking about? Have you seen those people that take their laptops to the pool and they're working under the shade under umbrella? Oh, yeah. So we would always go to like the neighborhood pool when we would get out of school for summers. and it was my favorite thing, but it was kind of funny because we had very zero responsibilities in the sense that, like, I would eat an Eminem cookie and Waffle fries with ranch every single day. Morgan.

Like, that was my... How are you alive? I don't know. No, no. I'm not judging you because that's how I ate too, but how are we alive? I know. The world was a little vastly different, especially in the category of food. But that was my diet every day.

And nobody could tell me any different because I was at the pool. So I was staying out of my parents' hair. they were working. So, you know, that was my diet. So both of your parents worked, who would hang, like, who would watch you? When I was a kid, like baby, baby Morgan, my parents switched off shifts. So my dad worked the night shift and my mom worked during the day. So they would literally trade. They would have like a few hours in between where they were both there, but they would most of the time, like, switch shifts. My dad thinks about it often because he would be so excited when Barney came on because

he'd finally get to take a nap, we'd be so invested in the TV. And that would be his nap time. That's so funny. And then as we got older, my older sisters would watch my sister and I that are closer in age. So I'm sure they love that. It's just kind of like your oldest gets in charge of watching. I was like, I don't want to do this.

Yes, I know. Speaking of your oldest, is he going to be a senior this year? Is that right? No, he's going to be a junior. Okay. He's going to be a junior, which is. Is that feel weird? Yes.

It's all weird. High school is weird. You sit here and you think of this and you're like, yeah, and it's hard and I'm working in life. But then one is about to be a junior and you're starting to look at colleges and they're about to be out of the house. Like, how does that feel? I mean, I'm excited about it.

Like, I don't know. Some parents are like, I don't. It's like, oh, the empty nester or whatever when the kids leave. It's like, I'm really looking forward to. It's not, and it's not selfish. It's not me like being like, I can't wait till I'm alone and never, no one's here anymore. I just, but like, it's exciting to see them grow and like leave the nest and go see what they're going to do. I've often wondered, what are my kids going to do in their life?

And it's cool. This is going to be the start of like them leaving and going to college and figuring out what their life is all about. I think it's really exciting. When you think about your kids getting older, are you more excited about them getting married and you have grandkids and all that? Are you more excited about them leaving this, retirement? No, no. I mean, all that. Like, I've wondered for so long, like, what they're going to do, who they're going to marry,

how many kids they're going to have. And, like, my wife and I have all these little, like, predictions. Like, these, like, this one will for sure work, like, on cars. Just something, creating something with his hands. That one, for sure is going to be, like, something in the movie industry. Like, this one's going to be, like, something in the movie industry. one's going to be something in sports like it just we've always when you like see your kids every day from the time they're born like or they're little like you realize you start seeing like what kind

of person they are what you know they're almost like what they're meant to do like or what comes easy to them i'll say that you know not not to say that that might not change or whatever but i i know already what comes easy to them and what they're happiest doing and then i start wondering like man like how quickly are they going to get married i know one immediately will probably get married like as soon as he graduates college like one i already know that he's going to find fall in love easily and find someone to get married one i don't know if he'll ever get married you know it's just they're all so different and i think that's what i'm really excited about just to kind of see like how it's all going to turn out yeah and to see like how you're going to turn out in your next phase of

life. Are you excited by that? I can't wait, Morgan. Like, I cannot wait. Do you think you'll move immediately to somewhere with the beach? Yes. Like as soon as the last one leaves a nest, you're going to like, that's it. Tie it up. I'm out. Depending on work, right? Like, I mean, if we're still doing this, no. If we're still doing this, I mean, I don't know. But if all of it, like, say all of it's like done. Everyone leaves. Work is different. We're not doing this anymore and I can go to the beach. I think my wife and I would just move immediately. I think that's fair. What would you do? I mean, my dream is to always live in a mountain town. That's where I want to be. But I also, Eddie, like, if everything ended tomorrow and I didn't

have a job anymore, like that's what I'm focused on, I think I would travel for a while, really. Like, pack up Remy and Hazel and be like, okay, I'm going to hit the road for a while and go see the world. I just, I love traveling so, so much. And I wish that that was something I could do like full time and just, you know, and there are, obviously there's travel creators and influencers and all of that. But I also love a steady job and consistency. So I don't think I could do it genuinely full time, but I love travel. That's funny.

You mentioned that because like we are creatures of habit, right? And like I've caught myself being like, oh man, I want. want to travel and I want to do this or whatever. But whenever like there's a crazy two weeks in our lives and like say we're traveling a bunch or we're having to do stuff for work and we go from one town to another town to another town, after like five days, I'm like, I just want to get home. I just want to get home and I want to go back to my normal life. Do you see yourself like doing that once you actually do get to go travel? Yeah. I mean, like I said, I think I need consistency and routine. I'm very much that because I've noticed when I don't have that, I kind of become very agitated and just I'm not a pleasant person because I don't understand what's coming next and I'm very much the person that likes to be in control if I can be.

Yeah. Not traveling and stuff. There's like where my adventurous, spontaneous side comes out where I'm kind of a little bit more like just whatever and going with life. But I do like I wish I had more flexibility so that every weekend, you know, I could go and like be jetting off in my Monday through Friday or. You know what I mean? But that's what I'm saying, though. That's what I'm saying. I don't know if we had the ability to be like, Morgan, you're done.

You have enough money to do whatever you want to do. You don't have no ties. Go travel. I really think that you would travel and have a blast for two weeks. And then you'd be like, I want to get home. Yeah. And then maybe you'd come home and you would do something else for a little bit consistent life. And then in a few months, you're like, I want to go travel again.

And maybe that's it. Yeah. That's probably more of the consistency. But I've met people where I'm like, you're crazy. Like where they love not having a home. They love just, you know, being in a random city and like just live in there for four days. And then going to another random city and live in there for a few days. Like, that's crazy to me.

Like I feel so lost if I'm in New Orleans for more than three days. Like, what do I do? I miss my home. Yeah, no. I don't think I could do that. Like I couldn't be a all the time backpacker. Right. I could be a backpacker for like a year.

Yeah. And then be like, I don't know, Morgan. A year is a long time. It is. But like if I'm going constantly to new places, like if I got to go, because my goal, my goal in life is to visit every continent and see all 50 states. That's like my travel goal. And not, you know, cool if I could see all the countries, but this is a lot more. Every continent is easier.

How close are you on the states? So I have 13 left and I'm about to see three more. on our summer vacation, so I'll be knocking. Because like every time I have an opportunity, I'm like, okay, how can I see as many states and like still enjoy it and get them all out? And that's what we're doing. We're doing Minnesota and Illinois and Iowa, which sounds crazy because you're like, what are those? What's there? And there's just so much.

I've done so much research. And there's like really cool things in all of those states. You've never been to Chicago? I've never been to Chicago. So that's one of our first stops. You're going to love it. I know. And I'm excited to try deep dish pizza.

Yeah, you're going to love it. Right. Yeah, you're going to love all that. So, yeah. Are you going to a baseball game? I don't think so. We're traveling with Remy. We're doing a whole bunch of hiking and a lot of sites, like more outdoor nature trip.

I love like nature hiking, national park, state park stuff. So do I. And let me ask you this. When you go to those places and you're hiking in the middle of nowhere, do you ever feel like whatever you're worried about or whatever's going on in your life is just not that important? Oh, yeah. Like whenever you go out to the mountains and you see how big a mountain is and you see animals that are out in the mountains and just how quiet it is and how peaceful it is, I just like feel every time like, what am I worried about? Yes. It's like you just forget that such small things don't really matter in the bigger scheme of things.

But what's stupid is you go back to it and then like two days in like, oh, I'm worried again. Well, that's what nature's for, right? I know. You're supposed to keep going to nature every day. Which, speaking of, one, I want to know if you guys are doing a fun summer vacation. And then two, I'm going to ask you this, but maybe you can think on it while you're talking about summer vacation. But what place actually lives up to the hype and what doesn't live up to the hype? Like of all your travels that you've done, like place that lives up to the hype, one that did not live it up to it.

But first, summer vacation. What are you doing? Oh, I thought that was, I thought you were going to bring. break. No. Like, okay. Well, no, you know what? Actually, okay, perfect.

We'll take a break for a second. And we'll come back. We'll give you a second to think. 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 Girlfriend, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care.

So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means. But I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through. And I know it's a place they come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah.

He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it 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.

Okay, we took our break. Eddie had plenty of time. But first, Eddie, let's start with summer vacation. Do you guys have any fun plans? Morgan, for the first time in our family life, we're not going to the beach. What? Yeah, aren't that crazy? I'm shocked.

Did you plan to go somewhere else or are you just staying home? I think my family just said, you know what? Why don't we try like going west? Like we don't, we always go to the beach, which is great. Like, I love the beach and I love the summer. Like, that's what it's about, right? Like going to the beach and hanging out of the whatever. But they were like, let's change it up.

My wife was like, you want to go to the mountains? Because I do love the mountains. I love the mountains. I love the beach. I love all of it. And so we want to go to Zion National Park. And so they've decided to do that. And that's what we're going to do.

Oh my gosh. I'm, okay. Eddie, so jealous. I've been to Utah and I did some national parks there. I didn't make it to Zion. and I'm jealous. So are you guys going to do more than Zion? Or is Zion just the destination staying around there?

So Zion's the meat of the trip. So we're going to fly into Vegas. The boys have never seen Vegas. The little boys have never seen Vegas. So we'll fly into Vegas. Trust me, I'm not going to show him too much of Vegas. Just walk him down the strip and that's about all you need to do. No, not even.

Not even. Because the last time we did that, Morgan, I took my oldest son to Iheart. And we went to Vegas. It was his first trip. to Vegas. And he was like, I want to see the strip dad. And like, all right, let's go. We walked down the strip. And I mean, the first thing we saw was some lady with like feathers and

no shirt on. And like, he was like, whoa, this place is crazy. And like, yeah, yeah. But that's culture, Eddie. Yeah, you know what? You know what? I'm going to just avoid all those conversations for our summer vacation. I just I'm going to, we're going to land. I'm going to

show them a little bit of Vegas from a distance. I want to show them like, look at the lights. Look at the cool, that's the hotels. And then we're going to drive to Zion. Then we're going to drive, make that drive, whatever it is. We thought maybe, maybe drive to the Grand Canyon. Okay, I was just about to ask that. You're right there.

That's what I've heard. And I think that's going to be a decision that we make when we get there. Yeah. Depending if we have time or whatever, we'll maybe drive to the Grand Canyon, spend a few hours there, and then eventually get to Zion. Let me see. I'm mapping it for you. Listen, I'm a queen of mapping some trips out. I'm not opposed to it.

I'm really not. Like, I think that would be fun to stop by and see the Grand Canyon and then, like, head on to Zion. But it just depends on, like, how long of a detour that is. Well, because we did something similar when we went to Utah, my friend had, and I had never seen the Grand Canyon, but we went on the north side of the Grand Canyon, which is the most, I guess, the least amount visited. But we still got to, like, go and see the Grand Canyon. which was really cool for both of us, but we were on like the kind of other side.

Let me see here. But I think being near Arizona, you're going to be, hold on. I want to say it's like maybe a three hour detour. Yeah. I want to say that's kind of what it is, which again is doable,

but I don't really want to drive all the way out there and like, well, there it is. And then get back in the car and drive again. So I don't know. I think we just gauge it. We'll see how all the, the kids are feeling if everyone seems like they want to do that then we'll do that but if not and they want to get straight to zion because i heard a lot about like zion getting congested

during the summer like even like hard to find a place to park um all that stuff so we're kind of getting all the the inside information on the park so that we kind of like we don't get there and get a little surprised by yeah well and you can do like hikes and stuff in there which you know, those obviously don't end up being as congested. They're going to be congested in like the touristy kind of picture X locations. So if you do like some version of hikes, I think you'll be okay. Because that's how most national parks are. Like when we went and did Yellowstone and all of that, there was still plenty of people.

But if you kind of went against the grain a little bit and did some other things or just ventured a little bit further into the park, you were fine. Yeah. So it just depends what you're trying to do in there. I really want to do the hike there. that's the narrows, but I don't think you should do that with kiddos. No, no, no, there's definitely some that they're saying that, like, nah, you don't want to do this with your kids. Yeah, I don't think so. Okay, so, like total, just doing those three things is about six hours, which really, honestly, Eddie is not that bad.

Six hours, what do you mean? Like going Grand Canyon? Like a total trip. So say you go to, like, Las Vegas to Grand Canyon to Zion. Ideally, what you would do is go Las Vegas to Zion and then down to Grand Canyon and then fly out somewhere of there. Well, we're flying out of L.A. So like, so we're trying to do Vegas, drive to Zion, spend three or four days in Zion, then drive to L.A.

Because the kids want to see, you know, the West Coast. They want to see Los Angeles. They want to see like Hollywood or whatever, possibly take him to Disney. And so, yeah, and then we'll leave from there. That's kind of the plan. And again, I like the plans and everything. And my wife is really good at planning stuff. But I like to not really know what we're doing.

That's fair. It's just, I kind of enjoy it better that way. You know, not, I don't want to, I don't really want to think about what we're doing. And then, and then like, really, if the boys are in the car being like, no, I really want to see the Grand Canyon. I'll be like, screw it. Let's go. Like, I don't know. I love how when you do that during vacation because sometimes fun things spawn from that.

So that's kind of in a nutshell what we're going to do. And we're really excited. Yeah. And I, oh my gosh, you guys, you guys are going to have. much fun. It's just honestly, the scenery and being out in that environment is so vastly different than like the mountains that you see and things that you see there are so different than what you would picture of like the Rockies or the Smokies. They're orange and red and just you feel like you're on another planet all the time, which is so cool. That is crazy. That's what's so cool

about the U.S. Like our country is so amazing where you can get like beautiful beaches, beautiful beautiful mountains, beautiful forests, desert, like all kinds of terrain in one country. This is why it's my goal to see all of them because we get so stuck in wanting to go abroad, which I do. I want to go abroad all the time. But there's so much here to see. There's so much here, yes. And that's why, you know, it's part of the goal. Okay. So we're going to the lives up to the hype, doesn't live up to the hype. Okay. Let me tell you, the reason that I did this, right? Okay. because I went to Jackson Hole, lived up to the hype. Wyoming.

Yes, the Teton's are my favorite place on Earth so far. The what? The Teton's. What are those? Why does that sound dirty? Teton National Park. They do have funny shirts. They're like, the T's.

Like, yeah, it's the thing. Because it's a little mountain range. And it's Yellowstone and Teton National Park are connected at the bottom. Okay. But Teton National Park, Jacksonville, Wyoming, like genuinely favorite place on Earth so so far. I loved it. And that was worth the hype in every way, shape, or form.

I went to Mount Rushmore. Not so much worth the hype. Really? No. I literally went. You look at stupid statue heads and you leave. Well, they're not stupid. Those are our founding fathers.

I know. Well, they're actually not, right? I think it's like, I think it's just. Teddy and. Teddy's up there, Abe. Yeah, George Washington, I think. No. Jefferson.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think that's right. So what is it, though? Like, is it not that big? Like, what is it that you didn't, that you were underwhelmed by? I just think I love. And listen, the fascination of the creation of it is cool.

And you can see how everything was made. But I'm such a big fan of naturally created things. That's not natural. Yeah. And I think that's why I wasn't fascinated with it. Did you think it would be natural before you got there? No. And then, and then you realized it wasn't when you got there.

Could you imagine? You're like, wait a minute. You're telling me. like somebody jizzled that? That just like perfectly fell onto the earth that way of the perfect people of our founding fathers or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was just that I have on that trip specifically, we had seen so much.

We'd seen, you know, the badlands and Yellowstone and titans and the Rockies. And you see Mount Rushmore and you're just like, me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. You know what I mean? How, like, how close can you get to the heads? So you can be close to. the ball. I think you can even go up. I didn't even take like there's a hike that you can do where you can kind of be pretty much like I think right underneath it or like right out. I can't explain it super well, but like on a platform and you're pretty close to viewing it. I didn't even walk all the way up to that platform. I went to like the first bottom platform and I was like, eh, I'm good. We can leave now. Yeah. And then they have like this little hole of rock where you can like see the faces through it. I was like, okay, cool. Do they charge you to see the faces? We didn't get charged.

The one thing I did want to do that they didn't have open when we were there because we went so early. Apparently they have ice cream there that is the recipe from one of those people, like one of their families. Oh, one of the presidents? Yeah, I think it's George Washington's like ice cream recipe. And I really wanted to try that because that probably would have made my experience a little bit better. So maybe I just didn't have the full. I will say like the coolest part about it was that all the state. flags. Like when you first walk up, there's just a row on both sides, all of the state flags,

and then their faces are in the middle as you're looking up. And that was like a cool moment. But the statue itself, you know, yeah. Like when you see one and die, you're like, cool, I've seen it, experience it. I never need to go back. I can see that. I can see that because I have no idea what to expect when I go there. Exactly. But like if you go to South Dakota, it's still beautiful. Go to the badlands. Yeah. Don't go. And the titans. Yeah, teetons are the other way. But yeah.

The teetons. So, and then now I've been looking at Blue Ridge Mountains and I'm wondering if those are living up to the hype. But that's what we're doing on. Blue Ridge Mountains. Is that Virginia? I think it's part Virginia, but mostly the Carolinas, North Carolina maybe. Because when I did my walk from West Virginia, Tennessee, I know we were, I know we were

foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. See, that's so cool. Oh, so beautiful, Morgan. Like it's just, I don't know, man. Like the Appalachian Trail, you heard of that? Yes. Because a lot of people hike that, I think. They do.

And it goes all the way from like upstate New York or maybe even further. I don't even want to say it. I'll look it up while you're talking. I know it's like, you know, northeast all the way down to Carolinas or something. And people make that whole hike, which is like a quarter of our country. See, but that's so cool. I would love to do something like that. I mean, I don't want to buy job by myself, but.

No, no, no, you go with like your boyfriend or something. Yeah, like any, you know. Or a couple friends. Something fun like that. What did you find? Well, it took me the conservative. Hold on. Appalachian Scenic Trail.

It definitely starts in Virginia, or at least it looks like it does. Okay, starts in Virginia and then probably goes up. Okay, the Appalachian Trail stretches through 14 states along the Appalachian Mountain Range. So it looks like it's in Maine all the way down to Georgia. Georgia. God, that is so cool. That's amazing. Yeah. So Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine. That is so cool. You talk about goals, Morgan. I feel like one day I would love to try that, but I'll probably be too old and probably wouldn't be able to do it. It stretches 2,190 miles. Yeah, and it's not flatlands.

It's mountain ranges. That would be so cool. I think people break it up, though. People like go, I'm going to go from Georgia to Virginia and then, and then like take a break. And then I'll try that next month. And then I'll start where I ended and then kind of, I think that's how they do it. I don't know if anyone does it straight through because that's, that would be crazy. I mean, talk about a cool like life goal though. Yeah. If you could do the Appalachian Trail.

Yeah. Let's see if anybody's ever completed. Okay. Tell me your, yours as well looking at it. I'll start with lived, lived the hype, lived up to the hype. Okay. That would be Hawaii. Oh, yeah, you love Hawaii.

I know people hype up Hawaii and the, I've been to Hawaii three times. Yeah, three times in my life and I love it. Like I, I know it's very expensive to live there and I probably will never live there, but gosh, I would love to live there. It's just the people are so nice. The scenery is amazing. You watch Jurassic Park. That was all filmed in Hawaii.

Like that's, it's just beautiful. those mountains, those jungles or whatever are so cool. Waterfalls everywhere. And then the oceans are just beautiful. The fishing's amazing. The surf is amazing. Like, I just love it there. Any particular island?

No. I mean, Kauai is really cool, which is a little tiny island. It's one of the four. And what I liked about Kauai is that it's not, there's not a lot of building on it. Like, there are a few areas where there's hotels and resorts or whatever. but there's just a lot of wilderness, a lot of trails, a lot of like, you know, like I said, mountains and waterfalls and beautiful beaches where, like, you can go and there's, you don't see a soul around.

And, and, like, it's hard to find a place to eat because everything shuts down at like 8 o'clock. So there's no nightlife in Kauai, which, like, I love that. I love that it's just purely about nature and it's quiet and it's beautiful and it almost feels like it's untouched where, like, I know it's not. But it feels like that. Yeah. It very much gives that essence for sure. Yes.

Where like you go to Waikiki, you go to like a Oahu or whatever. That's, I mean, it's like a big city on an island. I just love all their names too. Yeah. Aren't the names so cool? It's just so fun to say all of them. Yeah. So that would be live up to the hype.

Didn't live up to the hype. I would say the first time I went to Hollywood, L.A. Okay. I've never, I've spent one night in L.A. when I was like super young. So I really don't have a big memory or care of it. And this has nothing to do with like, like the city in itself or whatever.

I just, I had something built up in my head that was bigger. Like, LA, Hollywood, like all the famous people live there, all the landmarks that you can think of. And then you get there and it's dirty. And it's like,

oh that's the Chinese theater like oh okay yeah the Hollywood I will say seen the Hollywood sign is cool because like you know you think about like oh seeing the Hollywood sign that's cool but like everything else is like just kind of blah and why don't when you go with your kids on your trip why don't you take them to somewhere else in California because there is a lot of cool spots in California yeah but because they want to see it they want to see like the Hollywood sign and totally and I get it and they'll probably be like yeah okay But I think you do have to see that. Like I think, you know, you grow up watching movies and knowing.

I mean, it is cool to drive by a lot, like a studio lot and being like, well, look, guys, there's Warner Brothers. And they're just like, all the movies are made in there. Like, that's pretty cool. Yeah. But other than that, it's just kind of like, it's just another city. Yeah. I've heard that before, especially like Walk of Fame, like Sunset Boulevard. It's just all kind of like, okay.

Yeah, you see it and you're just like, okay. Like, all right. But what is crazy is everything there does look like a movie set? Like, you can see anything from like a dumpster and be like, I feel like that was in a movie. And it probably was, you know, because they just shoot all over that town. I was going to say, because downtown L.A. is in so many movies itself. Even TV shows, reality shows, you know, it's everywhere. Yeah.

Yeah, that tracks. So I think the hype of going to L.A. and like Hollywood was like really big. And then you get there, you're just like, okay, I mean, that was fine. Well, and I'm also seeing it from our lenses, Eddie. And it's clear that you and I both really like nature and seeing really beautiful just things that were already there. Things. Correct. But I will say, though, I do love New York City.

Yeah. And New York City is not already there. That's not natural. Like, that is the complete opposite of a natural place. And I like it there. Like, I like New York. I love the subway. I love all the buildings.

I love the smells of New York. Like, I don't know, man. New York is just cool because it's so different. It is. And it's its own character, truthfully. Yeah. Okay, I did get some information on our Appalachian Trail. Come on.

Many people have hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. No way. The trail Conservancy, well, I think words. Conservancy? Thank you. Conservancy. I don't know.

Estimates that over 20,000 individuals have completed a through hike of the AT since its creation in 1936. That is a lot. And that means they've hiked the entire trail in one season. So I don't know that means they did it, you know, some could have. Oh, continuously. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Meaning, like, in spring, they finished it all. So, but only 25% of those who attempted each year successfully finish. I did also see that there was a 31-year-old named Tara Dower, who became the fastest person to complete it, averaging 54 miles per year. day completing the trail in 40 days, 18 hours, and five minutes. She was hauling ass. But you know, like, she wouldn't even enjoying it.

Yeah, like, when you're stopping and taking pictures or like... She was like head down and going like going full speed. That doesn't sound fun. And I guess maybe if she'd visited before and she loved it and she was like, okay, I want to come back and do, you know what I mean? I would imagine that that's probably the... Because you wouldn't just wake up one day and say, I'm going to do this. I mean, maybe you do. And you got to think too. like you're going to run out of food, right? So are there like a little like Walmarts along the way? Yeah, I mean, I think you pack for that. And then each time when you stop through somewhere, you like pop off and get or you have somebody bring it to you on a trail. I don't think I have a friend that would do that for me. I would do that for you. If you know, like, Morgan, if I'm like, hey Morgan, I'm in Maine right now. Will you just get me like a couple of graham crackers and a new sleeping bag?

Okay, when you were in Tennessee, like, I'd be like, hey, you're going to try and accomplish this thing. Heck yeah, I'm going to come bring out something to you. No, I wouldn't drive all the way to Maine for that, but when you're here. Is it the same as like somebody trying to go up Mount Everest? Like, is this kind of like something that you declare like, all right, guys, like, I'm going to be gone for a few. Yeah, I guess so. You're going to have to tell your family, like, all right, I want to be gone for a few months. This is what I'm going to do.

Yeah, it's definitely different. You need different skill sets, similar, but different skill sets. Mount Everest you're going up in elevation, which I think she would probably go up in elevation some too. But you'd be going up and down a lot versus just up and just back down. Yeah. But yeah. I mean, for sure something that like you're probably training for.

You probably have done a lot of hiking. You don't just wake up one day and do it. I don't know. I might actually be happy with like doing two miles of that and being like, yeah, man, I did the Appalachian trails. One of the best times of my life. It was. So there's also a trail on the West.

Coast. The Pacific Coast. Hmm. Hold on. Yes. Yes. Whatever you're going to say, it sounds familiar. Let me see if I can. Oh, maybe I'm thinking Pacific Coast Highway. Pacific Crest Trail. It is the same. It's 2,650 mile long trail that runs through California, Oregon and Washington and connects the United States and Mexico border and the United States and Canada border. I bet that is so beautiful. Well, so what I was going to say when we were in North Cascades National Park, which is the tippy top of Washington.

We were on the Pacific Crest Trail where it starts. Oh, so you did do it. So we did like a seven mile trail that was at the beginning of it. You did it. You did the Pacific Rim. What's it called? Crescent Trail. Pacific Crest Trail.

You did it. Morgan, for the rest of your life, just say like, yeah, I've done it. Seven miles of it. Yeah, just seven mere miles of the 2,650 miles. Isn't that crazy though? Like each border has one. Yes. But yeah.

Anyways. Okay. Well, we're going to get out of here. That's a good conversation, man. I love like, like in our minds, we were in a different part of the country. Multiple different places. I know. And I was picturing these trails and like going on it.

Yeah. Very. Yeah, me too. What was that game everybody used to play? The trail game. Oregon Trail. Yeah. But you never played that.

That was way before you. I think my sister played and I'd watch her. I don't think I quite understood it if I'm being on it. Oh yeah, but we could talk about anything all day long. I had so many things and I just kind of let us always go on. Yeah, we always go somewhere that we didn't expect. Yes, every time. But we are going to get out here because we're going to do some listener questions and stuff

No, I think I could probably find it. Okay, maybe it's true. Maybe it's true. You just have to like put time aside to do it and it's hard. I trust me. I know. Posting is hard. I,

do you have trouble posting? Yes. Eddie, I have trouble posting in my podcast. I'm like, I don't even want to take that. I already have it edited and I don't even want to take the time to post it sometimes. Yeah, because posting you're like,

all right, how do I describe this or what I put in the caption? Oh my gosh. But yeah, at producer Eddie, I know I really gave it a good promo there. on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, whatever.
