Part 1. Behind the scenes with a member of the show. Welcome, welcome, everybody. Happy weekend. Mike D is joining me. What up? What's up? I'm excited to talk about lots of fun things.

Ooh, fun things. Yes, because... You mean there are fun things happening in the world right now? You know, it's trying to find the glimmers of hope. Okay. I need some fun things in my life. Good, because that's all we're going to focus on. We're trying to be the distraction to help people think of some good things happening in their lives.

Great. That's what we're going to be this. Love it. Because truly when you look on social media, it's all bad. And I know that first hand. On social media, outside your door, everywhere. Yeah. So, fun things.

It is Valentine's Day this weekend. Maybe Valentine's Day when people are listening. Because Saturday, for once, is on Valentine's Day. We got happening. What are your big plans? What do you got going on? We are doing nothing. We are historically bad at Valentine's.

Every Valentine's Day for, like, the first three years of our relationship, one of us was always sick. Okay. Yeah, that's bad luck. Just a natural thing. Valentine's Day would roll around. One of us would be sick. So we still try to do something, but we'd be like battling through a dinner of trying to get through a sickness. It's been awful. We tried to do a concert on Valentine's Day. It was awful. So now we have decided we are done with actually celebrating Valentine's Day. Now you're purposefully not doing anything. Purposely. Even the gifts this year, we're like, let's not do gifts. We're doing something different where we're just going to spend money on each other's hobby and, go to that person's place of choice where they want to spend the money.

Oh, okay. So do you know what each other's is yet? Yeah, so my wife has recently got into Needlepoint. Okay. It's super into it. Apparently it popped off on TikTok and there's a big community there. So she started this maybe around Christmas time or beginning of the year. And apparently it's kind of an expensive hobby.

Okay. In Needlepoint, is it some version of sewing, knitting? Cross stitch where she gets like these designs that it's the template and she picks out the thread that she uses and then she goes over the template and then creates something that could be turned into something later. Has she created anything yet? Yeah. Her first, it's crazy to see how much better she's gotten in a month from where her first one is like not as detailed a little bit like you can tell that she didn't really know what she was doing. Now she's like all in and she's really good at it now. I mean, I think she wants to get better at it but she's she's learned quickly. Okay. Okay. So you guys are

going to do an activity with needlepoint? We're just going to each other's So I'm going to go with her to that store and then help her pick out stuff. Is there a needlepoint store? There is a needle point store here in town. Really? I was thinking it was like a Michaels or a Hobby Lobby. It's a specific store that opened just for this hobby. And it's, I've been in there one time with her and it was so packed. And they even have like a couch for guys like me who go.

And it was just crazy to see that many people there for a hobby I'd never heard of. That is while I didn't realize. Is it called the needle point? It's called like kick ass needle point. Okay. This is why, and niches are cool for that because they can just pop up at any moment. And TikTok, you just find your people and then you know all about it and you get dialed in. So it's really cool. Okay.

I took Homeck in maybe eighth grade and I know how to like sew pretty well. It's like one random skill I learned. I think if I really sat down and had the patience for it, I could learn to. Do you think you're going to try to learn on Valentine's Day? No. Not even a little bit? Nah. I don't think I can't think I'll go that far.

I'll help her pick stuff out. Like, I really want her to make me like a Pokemon one, like a polka ball. Okay. I was like, it only has a few colors. I think you could do it. So maybe that's what she's going to start working on. Yeah, if she can find a template for it. Okay.

And so that's her store. What's your store? Mine is a comic book store. Naturally. Where our local comic book shop, like, has had a rough time lately with whenever all the power was out, like they went a week without sales. So I was like, we got to go with me and pick out some stuff. Are you on the hunt for something in particular?

No. I think I've gotten behind a lot of the comics I've been reading, so I just need to get a bunch of stuff to catch up. Okay. So I just kind of stocking up. Nice. And after you guys visit the stores, nothing? Then we just hang out with your hobbies?

We hang out with our hobbies. And then we decided not to go out on Valentine's Day to dinner just because we don't want to pay a lot more for the same meal we would get. Yeah. And every time we've gone out on Valentine's Day, it's like the fixed menu and then you feel so rushed. where you just feel like an item in that restaurant where they're like, all right, come on, sit down,

and it's so fast. So, right, let's not do that. Let's not waste the money. Well, and I don't know if you feel this, but as a vegetarian, vegan. It's hard to do a fixed menu. It's really hard. There's not a lot of options there for you.

I get why they say no substitutions, but it's like, I just can't, I can't eat this stuff. Yep. So, yeah, we're not doing that. And the only other thing that we've continued throughout all of our Valentine's Day is, well, I guess I'm the only one who makes the card.

I make my own card. every year. Like a custom. Like a custom. Like a custom. Like I'll use construction paper, glue, markers, the whole thing. I like to basically make my own card and design all of it. Oh, that's cool. You should post pictures of them. Are they like really? I feel like they're really artistic if I know you. If I have enough things to make it very artistic, I still need to go get my supplies for this year. Another than I think about it, because I looked yesterday and I thought we had constructor paper and we don't. So if I can get some construction paper, I'll see what I can do. All right. I yeah, I want to see these. I love seeing custom cards.

Yeah, it's fun. They're fun. And red and pink are like my favorite colors, so I like it to use my favorite colors to design something. Red and pink are your favorite colors? I like shades of red, yeah. Okay. And pink is like number two? More red is your favorite color.

More red. I don't know why I said pink. I mean, like red and pink for the holidays. I just use it. Fair. I got it. Okay. I like this.

This is a fun Valentine's Day plan. Yeah, it's low key. Yeah. Well, for our first Valentine's Day plan, as I'm a lot of, a couple and as engaged, we're also not doing dinner. Okay. We decided to opt. We had originally had a reservation and then decided, no, it's not worth it to go out.

So instead, we're going to go try out a new brunch place that we've been wanting to go try. It's been on our list for a while. So we're going to have Valentine's brunch. And then we're going to go home and we're going to make homemade fondue that I can actually eat. How do you make that? It's just with chocolate chips, like different variations that are vegan gluten-free. Okay. Because I'm still on my diet restriction.

Why do I think fondue was cheese? Fondue can be cheese Okay, so it's just the... Like, have you ever been to the melting pot, the restaurant? No. So they do fondue. You have like a starter, which is cheese, and then you have, it's kind of like a broth, if you will,

in the fondue that you can cook meat and veggies in, and then you have chocolate. So it's like a three-course meal and you get to determine what you're cooking, but it starts cheese, meats, and then chocolate. So one of those is chocolate, and I love chocolate fondue. It's like one of my favorite things.

And I've learned how to make it being safe for me to eat. So we got like different chocolate chips kind. We got like a white chocolate, a dark chocolate, milk chocolate. We got some crunchy peanut butter, some marshmallows and make our own decadent chocolate fondue. That sounds fun. So that's what our plans are for the evening when everybody's out in the like hustle and bustle of it. But it was funny because he's not a big Valentine's gay. He's like, I just would prefer to like show up for you every day.

that's like what I would rather do for you. And I was like, yeah, but honestly, I've had a lot of really crappy Valentine's Day. So if we could just do this one where we have something, that would be fun for me. It's like, I can make that happen. Because I notoriously have had just horrible moments happen on Valentine's Day. Like just specifically that it had to do with Valentine's Day or just like, it's just like an awful day for you? It was always an awful day. Something disappointing always happened, right?

Where like somebody would not show up. I'd be in a fight with somebody. These are like past relationships. Or they, I would found bad news out on one of those days about one of them. So I just really don't have. On Valentine's Day? You want to talk about like the crappiest holiday for me was Valentine's Day. So I'm like, I would like to rewrite the story of how I see Valentine's Day.

Because currently it's not a good one. It's not a good holiday to me. Yeah, that's, I guess I don't really have any historical good Valentine's days, either because I was never in a relationship until my wife now that I had on Valentine's Day. And all I remember was like in school. Like I enjoyed just getting the cards because they were all like different characters that I liked. But yeah, I've never had like a, oh, that was a great Valentine's Day. See?

But at least you're rewriting it with hobbies that you love. Because that makes you enjoy it. I would assume that's something you guys are doing. Yeah. I think it's just, it's kind of like a forced fun day for us. We don't focus so much on, like, this is a day that we need to use to show how much we love each other. Like you were saying, like, you don't need a day for that. You can show that every other day.

It's just like, okay, we're specifically going to do something for this day just because. It's like you have to create intention around a day. It's kind of reframing it instead of it being the very corporate Valentine's Day. I walked into Kroger the other day, and man, it's like red and pink blue up in there. I was like, what? And there's balloons everywhere and flowers and chocolates. And like I love those things, but I love those things all the time. I don't just like them for Valentine's.

Like, give me chocolates all the time. You know what I mean? And I like making flower bouquets. So very much so. But it's kind of funny. So we've, this week though, I try and focus just in general on really enjoying love in the week. I've been trying to before I met my fiancee. I really was trying to just embrace love during the week of Valentine's Day, especially

being single. I was trying to like already rechange how I thought about Valentine's Day. So one of the things I did this week, there was a Valentine's event with Russell Dickerson. It's all yeah. Yeah, it was like a Galentine sorority, which was funny because Russell Dickerson was the only dude. And he was like performing for us, but it was all girls. I think maybe two of the workers in there were guys too. But beyond that, it was like all girl attendees.

And it was cool because he did like a buffet at this really pretty aesthetic, if you will, restaurant in Nashville and he had massage chairs for people like the you know where you see them in the mall and their heads are down yeah and somebody's massaging them oh like the straight up not the ones that are like a recliner no like a massage chair you got to do work on yeah like somebody's doing something to you like digging their elbow in your back he had that set up you had the food buffet there was a bouquet bar where you can make your own flower bouquet and then you could do an instant like create a jar full of different concoctions to smell good in your house that you burn Yeah, I think I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with it now.

Like I created it, but I don't know. Like, do I light it on fire? How does that work? I don't know. I've never had incense before. I used to be really into incense. Really? Yeah, I would buy it all the time. So how would you burn it, I guess? You just light it on fire and it just burns slowly on it. So you kind of have to pay attention to it just to make sure it doesn't spark or anything. It just slowly burns and then releases the smell. And there's like the little cone ones. There's the ones that are like,

the sticks. Okay, see, I don't have like a thing to light, though. So am I just going to light the eucalyptus on fire? Oh, yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know what you're working with there. Don't burn something down. It's got like all this like dry, the options to put in were dried fruit. There was like dried oranges, lemons, strawberries, and then you had different plants to add in and spices. There could be some incense that you don't light on fire. Do I just smell it? Like, do I just walk up to it and smell it? Because it's more like Popery. That's probably more of what it was than instant.

I just, I think I associated them as the same thing up until this moment, if I'm being honest. Or popery, I always thought of the spray that people put in bathrooms. Oh, yeah. Is that the same thing? I think so, yeah. Because I remember seeing that little bottle in every bathroom is like, no poo-boo-boo smell or something.

Do you know what I'm talking about? That's what I thought Pop-Ree was. And I'm learning now that it's not. I think it's both things. Okay. So I don't know. We did something. We created a little jar.

And it was cool. That was a cool way to celebrate. And he performed. So it was fun to watch. And I don't know. There's just not a lot of those. And like a lot of the Galentines Day is, it tends to be pretty cheesy. The messaging around Galentine's Day, it's like, get with your girls.

And it's like a whole. I don't know how to describe it. But it feels very like hate men way messaging, if you will. Just anti-valentine day? Yeah, which is fine. Like you can be anti-valentine's day. But I don't know. I just wanted something that was uplifting and that felt like it was.

And then we went to, so Remy and I have stopped kind of volunteering at the resident home because of her Addison's disease. It kind of like stopped us from that disease. She can't get stressed out super easy. So I have to be very methodical about what I allow her to do, if you will, like because I can't have her stress spike in any way. And so we did like a test run to see if she could do it again, like do therapy. And she did really well. And so I decided I was like, I really want to bring them Valentine's. It's one of the hardest parts in there is that a lot of them don't get many visitors.

Do you have people that have family come and visit and we'll come and get them out and stuff? But there's a significant portion of them there that don't just have a lot of people stopping by every single day, every hour. And you imagine having to stay somewhere and you never get to leave. And you get a visitor maybe once a week. It feels really sad, really, like, lonely, if you will, even though people are around you. And so I was like, I feel like Valentine's would be a good thing to, like, lift their spirits, maybe make them feel a little bit of love. And so we put together a bunch of little chocolates. And I got flowers from Trader Joe's, all these roses.

Canada's just has great flowers. They have the best flowers. If you're going to make a bouquet, that's where you go. Like, I always feel bad. Like, when I do get my wife flowers, I go to Trader Joe's. It feels like, I'm going to the grocery store to get her flowers. but it's like, they like really pay attention to like what they carry and it's like very curated. Yes.

Trader Joe's is A plus. I will never knock on somebody getting you flowers from trade shows. Okay. So you don't feel like, oh, you got me flowers from the grocery store. No, that's the best place to get flowers. Truly. I mean, if you're like sending somebody a bouquet, sure, but you can put together your own bouquet from Trader Joe's for 20 bucks. Yeah. And it's beautiful.

So I will never knock on that. Even like the little plants that they have, I love it. I mean, they're cute. It's bad. Listen, my dad always got my mom. Walmart flowers growing up, we always gave him a hard time. We're like, Walmart flowers, dad, again. And it's because it was, like, this teeny bouquet that, like, had, like, five roses or something in it.

And you can tell that they just threw something together. That's what my dad does, too. It's oddly, like, the only holiday that he remembers to get my mom something, like, very specific. So he's consistent. Like, every year he does it. He might forget, like, he's not big on, like, buying people birthday gifts. It will call you on your birthday, but he just, he doesn't really shop. But for some reason, every Valentine's Day, he always gets my mom, like the Walmart flowers and then some kind of chocolate that she probably won't eat, but she enjoys it.

See, and you know what? At least they're doing something. So we'll take it as a win. But we did give my dad a hard time. I don't know if you guys ever gave your dad a hard time about Walmart flowers. No, we were just like, surprise he actually bought some. They were like, all right. We're like, okay, there's a win. This is a win here. And they're fine flowers. Now that I'm older, I'm like, I wouldn't mind Walmart flowers. But it was more funny. It was just a funny. way of like you'd see these beautiful bouquets that people would get and then my dad was just walking in oh i guess when i was saying walmart flowers he wouldn't even get the fresh ones he would get like the plastic specific like valentine's day ones yeah no that's okay that's what i'm saying is like there's like the you'd see people get especially on social media now people get these beautiful like bouquets delivered or whatever and then my dad had the one in the little plastic thing and he'd show up he's like

here's the here's the pretty flowers and he'd get it a candy that she loved but like now as i've gotten older. We gave him a hard time as we were younger, but as I've gotten older, I was like, that was actually really sweet. You know, like, to your point, at least they were consistent and they did it. They showed up. But, you know, young Morgan just had to give my dad a hard time for everything. So that's where that tracks. But yeah, we got, we got roses for him. We did, like, some little stuffies with little gummy treats and stuff. And we went and delivered Valentine's to all the seniors. And Remy was dressed up as Cupid. She had like a pink little tutu dress on. They loved her. They loved the flower.

hours and it was really sweet. Like some of them with the stuffies because some really like that while some really like chocolates. They're all just individualized. But we'd walk past and they'd be like snuggling up with their little stuffy that they had. Or some of them had already finished the chocolate by the time we'd like pass doing it. And it was just really entertaining. We were there for like a couple hours just hanging out with them and delivering Valentine's. So this feels like the year that I'm finally getting to no longer have a bad view of Valentine's. It's a good Valentine's Day memory. Yeah, I'm finally having good ones again. So we're going to take a quick break. We come back and I need Mike D's thoughts on the Bad Bunny halftime show. Oh, okay. Yeah. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl.

You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of The Girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck.

I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the Girlfriends.

Trust me, babe. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, everyone? I'm Ego Wode. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and The Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell.

Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place 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 hanging. in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in someone's, correct? the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern.

I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real conversations about money, growth and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up.

If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food.

They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Well, I need to hear this because Mike D, you are a bad bunny fan, Stan, if you will. I'd say he's top probably three artists for me right now. Yes. And he even overtook.

Last time I think we were talking, he even overtook Post Malone. I think, yeah. I think he is overtaken post Malone right now based on last projects. Including the Super Bowl halftime show? Yes, including everything. Then I need a full recap. I need to know your thoughts. Talk to me about it.

I loved every second of it. That was the only halftime show that I was fully engaged with from the first performance to the very end of it, mainly because when it comes to his music, I've been listening to it for so long now. And his last album is like my most listened to album of like the entire last. year like every single like if you look at my top 10 most listened to songs they're all songs from that album so it was really cool seeing all those live on that massive of a stage and now seeing other people discover his music so aside from just the performance itself it's like now that

everybody's getting into them and listening to those songs I'm like this is awesome and for me as somebody who comes from a Spanish speaking background that just felt so crazy to me to see like an entire show in Spanish and just paying tribute to people who look like me, who speak like me, but also unifying America saying, like, we're all in this together. I just thought that was amazing. And he dominated that performance from every single set stage that he went and moved through. It was awesome. So I, like, didn't even think of anything else while I was watching it.

It felt like I was watching a movie. Like, when I watch a really good movie, I go to someone. where I'm not on this earth anymore. I'm like fully focused in. Out of body experience. Out of body. I'm totally into it. That rarely happens, especially during a halftime performance.

Like, you watch it a little bit. You get on your phone. You see if anybody cool comes out. I paid attention to every single second of that halftime show. He played pretty much all the songs I wanted him to play, except for the song he closed with was the one I wanted him to play the most, but he really only sang like a little bit of it. But that was the only part.

I was like, oh, man, I wish he would have played more of that. Okay, and I want to talk to you about the symbolism because there was a lot of it in there. So what was the most striking, like, to you, what did you see reflected the most in your life? I think him showing all of, like, the jobs when he was walking through and he goes through, like, all the little shops of the people, like, working. Like, that was, that stuff I've never seen represented before. And there were just very specific things that I realize that are unique to the Latino experience of even that moment, I think it was maybe halfway through where he woke the kid up who was like asleep on the chairs. Like that's kind of the,

uh, something we don't talk about. Like at a Latino party, there's always a kid who falls asleep because they go so late. I have so many memories of going to either like New Year's Eve parties or like Christmas parties where it's just all my family all together. And I would be the kid who would pass out on those chairs. My parents would have to wake me up at like two in the morning to go home. And it was these very specific images of like the two plastic chairs which are on his album that are very specific chairs that symbolize people who look like me and there are family get-togethers where we sit on those types of chairs all hanging out and talking.

And it was just really cool to experience that. And what do you think about because the couple that got married did actually get married? Did you know all that? Like what was your thoughts on that? moment and I found out after like I think with everybody else but it I was like those people seem like they're either really good actors or are they really getting married because it just seems so genuine and I was like man that would be a really hard thing to like hire like professional actors to look like they're getting married and to look that happy yeah and I want to know how he found them like why

them what was the decision behind that who decided like and what was the conversation like between the couple to decide we're going to get married at the Super Bowl You know, all of those things? And I really loved the moment where he walked out and all the flags were behind him. I got goosebumps when this part came. And I don't know much Spanish besides what. They taught me in sixth, seventh grade, broken up between Spanish and French. So I didn't know a lot of what he was saying, but I was vibing.

Like, I was dancing. My little body was like feeling the vibes. But the moment where he came with all the flags and he started calling out all the different places. and really like trying to unify together and the screen on the back. What did it say? The only thing more powerful than hate is love? Yes.

And that was like, I got goosebumps. Like I also got goosebumps referring to it. But tell me what you thought about like that moment. I mean, what you said about the Spanish, like I guess I struggle with that. I know I speak Spanish, but I could watch a performance in a different language and still understand it.

Like if I watch a movie that is in, a different language, I watch it with subtitles, but I still want to hear the language that you're speaking because I can feel it. I don't understand that criticism when it comes to music. Like not being able to understand it. If I listen to some, even country songs or rap songs, I don't know every single word those people are saying because sometimes it's really fast. Even with bad money, even though I know Spanish,

he raps really fast where sometimes I don't understand it. I just feel like that's a barrier people are putting in between them on not wanting to like something. Like, I don't understand this. I get the language thing, but I think you're trying to find something to a reason to say this isn't for me that you're putting up a barrier in front of yourself.

Well, that's why I said, like, I didn't understand it, but like I was still viving. My body was still moving. Like, it still made me feel something. If I quizzed you on some of your favorite songs on the radio right now and said, tell me what that song is about

and tell me the lyrics, could you do it? No. We just hear songs, and we don't know the lyrics, So a lot of songs we've listened to for a long time. And if we suddenly get quizzed on it, we think, oh, yeah, I don't know all the lyrics. I know what the chorus says because it's the main part.

Mm-hmm. So we're going to criticize a type of music in a different language because we don't understand what they're saying. All right, well, tell me all the lyrics to your favorite songs. Well, and it's funny that you mentioned, like, the rapper thing, too, because I saw somebody make that comment online. I was like, well, I'm not going to understand. I was like, well, I don't understand the rappers ever either. So, like, what? When Eminem and does that have time show?

I don't know everything he's saying. Oh. But to your point, like the. And the symbolism, I knew watching it that it meant something. And I didn't know, I didn't have to know what it meant to know that it mattered. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like you can feel that. And I think that's what you're referencing too is when you're watching movies and you see this, you feel emotion. Yeah. I feel that something's happening. But just because you don't, it's no different than like, when I went over to Europe and I realized everybody speaks five different languages.

And then there was me and I was like, I only speak English, which I do have. some French as part of my language that I can speak, but it's still like I, I felt so inferior and I should because we should speak multiple languages. Like everybody else in the world does. And then there's us. And we speak one language. Why? And I say we meaning most, a lot of America, we only speak English. Why? Or we use it as a dominant language. Why? And it's, it's wild to me that that's like the discussion around it. When you can see on on just so many different levels, every other country, they speak multiple languages. Why don't we?

Why don't we learn multiple languages? We should. Heck, like, our ancestors have how much, like, they weren't freaking speaking English. You know what I mean? Like, and I think that's what you're referencing to. And when it comes to music, I just believe it's a universal language. Like, you know based upon the instruments based upon how the person is singing and how it makes you feel.

Like, that's more important. So you're just shutting yourself off of, like, I don't know what they're saying. Like, you can feel, if you really. listen to it, you could feel it. And if still, if I'm not saying that everybody has to listen to and like his music, there's just some music that you're not going to like. But if you're only discounting it because of the language that you do not speak and therefore you think, I don't understand this, you're doing yourself a disservice. Yeah. You very much are you're closing yourself off to the potential to feel things that you maybe haven't felt before. Yeah. Same thing like when I tell

people like if you don't want to watch a movie that's in another language, like you're closing yourself off from an experience. I think my struggle with the movie watching is like I get caught up watching their lips and they don't have it up and it really throws me off. That's where I struggle. Oh, so you will watch it dubbed though? Because if you watch it and it's in their language,

it will match up. I don't know if I've ever tried to watch. Anything that I've really watched are always just like the, I've never had one that's in a different language. Okay. Because I haven't watched like a lot of the horror movies and stuff have been and I'm not a squid game or. Yeah, I'm not really into like

Thriller. I would be like a rom-com kind of person. There's not a whole lot that, like, people recommend to watch in rom-coms and other languages. Most of the time, they, like, have multiple different ones for each one, if you know what I mean? There's not, like, a squid game for romance. So I haven't had that, but there's been times where, like, I saw a rom-com and I clicked into it, and then it was, like, a French-speaking one. And again, I speak some French. So I was like, oh, yeah, I'll try. And then I was like, okay, well, I'm not really understanding. And then I was reading. And then, like, I dubbed it over.

I was like, oh, I can't watch that. Their lips are moving at different paces. The words are coming out weird. And then I just got overwhelmed. I know one, it's not a rom-com, but it's more of, like, in the drama romance called past lives. That goes back and forth between English and I believe Korean, where that's kind of the bridge in between it. Like, you get a little bit of the English context, but then the characters speak two languages. So there are moments that are just in Korean where you just watch the subtitles, but you're still seeing those same actors.

who were just speaking English earlier and now speaking a different language. I think I could do that. I've done some like that before. I've watched some movies, especially where they have like, they'll do Spanish and there's no, you don't know what's happening.

You just watch. You know the context of the scene. You can see what's happening on the screen and then you're like, okay, well, buy, like, it's like where you're mentioning, like the feeling. I was like, I feel like that is not good. And then you find out later that was definitely not good.

So there's things that I've watched that have that where they like. People have no trouble watching Star Wars. when they start speaking. Oh my gosh. You know how many times I've tried to turn on close captioning on Star Wars?

The amount of time there is no limit. Every time I'm like, are they supposed to tell, like, am I supposed to know what they're saying here or no? And to your point, it's not supposed to be.

You're not supposed to know. You're just supposed to see the emotion of what's happening in the scene. Yeah, but I know that character is freaking out based upon how they're speaking. Literally.

And you say past lives, I feel like I have this on my list to watch. Yes, because she's in morning. show she's also in um she was in the tron movie last tron movie yes she was she was in tron she's in a few things now i have this on my list to watch it's actually on my things okay so i need to get into that one yeah that stuff i can do but yeah my whenever i try and do any version of dubbing

i can't the lip it's like when i even edit videos if i even see like a little bit i'm like oh that bothers me and i think that's where it comes from but okay wrap in a bow bad bunny super bowl half-time show. For me, it's hard to give anything a perfect score, so I'd give it a, because he didn't play my favorite song enough, a 4.5 out of five people dressed as bushes. The people dressed in bushes were great. I love watching their point of view. Yeah, it was good. And Ricky Market, Martin, showing up was cool. Yeah. Is he known as Pretty Ricky? Did I make that up in my head? I mean, that's who you call them. I feel like I've heard him, like, identified as pretty Ricky.

I've never heard that until now. Okay. Maybe he's a different actor. I don't know, but I was like, oh, it's pretty Ricky. He is pretty, and he is Ricky Martin. So, all right, we're going to take a quick break. Thanks, Mike, sharing your thoughts. Bad money, and we'll be right back.

You're the movie guy, so I always love throwing a movie question in here. Great. I had this topic coming. to mind when I was watching something on TV this week. One of my favorite things to do is just turn on YouTube TV, which is the closest kind of we have to like a cable version where

they have a guide of different channels. And Matilda was on. Oh, it's a great movie. And I love Matilda. It like takes me right back to childhood where I'm sitting in my parents living room so close to the TV that I'm getting yelled at because I'm going to go blind. That's what my parents love to tell me because I sat so close to the TV to watch things or that I was going to, what was the other one, like one of those stipulations. I'd sit there and I'd like pop my, I just did it. I'd pop my fingers. And my mom's like, you're going to get arthritis and you're going to go blind. Stop doing both of those things. And I, uh, it took me right back there. And Matilda was just one of those movies that I loved. I still love. I can still watch and I love it. So what movie

brings you back to childhood? Dang. You're talking about Matilda. That reminds me of like watching VHS tapes all the time. That's like, if I associate certain movies, with having the VHS tape, like Matilda is at the top of that list. Really? Of like we would go to garage sales and just search for VHS tapes. And I'm pretty sure Matilda was one of those

where you don't even have the cover. You just have the actual tape. Yep. And Matilda also ruined, not ruined because I still eat it, but chocolate cake for me. Every time I see a chocolate cake, I'm like, Matilda.

That's like my only frame of reference. Or a red bow. I see a red bow. Those are my two like Matilda things that cause it. Okay, so VHS tapes. I think for me, the movie that instantly takes me back to my childhood and kind of what you were saying of finding a random movie on TV, when we were home for Christmas, we were at my sister's house and she still has like regular cable and I'm like, wow, this is so old school. Oh, I love that. But Toy Story was on.

The original OG? The original OG. And then it ended up being like a Toy Story Marathon. Apparently Disney Channel just plays a bunch of movies all the time now. So I watched all the Toy Story movies. And Toy Story One just instantly takes me back to being a kid. And I haven't seen that one maybe probably five years or so. I would imagine you probably rewatched before the fourth one came out.

I did rewatch that. And I remember whenever they added them to Disney Plus, they kind of remastered them. So they like look a little bit better. And watching Toy Story 1 is just so nostalgic for me and seeing like how much going from one to 4 they've all changed so much. Yeah. But it's like I kind of found that I didn't like one as much anymore. Really? Yeah.

So which one was your favorite? I think now my favorite is three. I think three is the best toy story. Remind me what happens in three. Three, Andy's going to college, so he's going to get rid of some of his toys, and he's going to take one with him to college. But Andy, I mean, but Woody doesn't want anybody to get split up, and then it ends up that some of the toys get accidentally donated to a daycare.

Okay, I remember this now. So they have to break out of the daycare, they got to make it back before Andy goes to college, and then it has one of the best ending scenes of all time. really brings the whole franchise together. And I feel like when they finished Toy Story 3, that was supposed to be the ending. It was supposed to be it, but you can't kill that franchise.

It makes Disney too much money. Yeah, but they really kind of concluded it like it was. Yeah, that was supposed to be it. And then they came back with four, bringing back Woody, adding it the new owner of all the toys. I don't know how they're going to pick it up with five because then they were like, okay,

now we're really ending it with four, but they'll find some way to reunite everybody. Speaking of four, I reference four a lot in my life. If I don't like feel good or I don't feel like I look good or something, I love to say, I am trash. Because of forky. I actually really love the forky character. I'm just constantly eating himself in the trash again. It's one of my favorite things.

So I get the Toy Story movies. Those would, yeah, if I watched one again, it'd take me back to childhood. Another one that comes to mind in the Disney realm is Princess Diaries. I really associate. Princess Diaries with being a kid. I love Princess Amopoulos, Pro-Nam, Genovia. Princess of Genobia.

It was like not coming to my brain. Honestly, a lot of the Disney stuff. Did you watch a lot of Disney stuff with the VHS? Yeah, I remember, I think the first movie I remember watching was the first Lion King. Yeah. Like that, I think legend has it. That was the first movie I went to,

but I was probably three years old if it came out in 94. I guess my parents think of me as a, three-year-old. I don't remember that experience, but I remember watching that for the first time, maybe a couple years after that when I was like five or something. And that's the first movie I have a vivid memory of watching, mainly because it's so traumatic. And that's how I learned about death. It is traumatic. Like, why were they letting us watch that? I mean, I love that I grew up with movies that taught me lessons. Like, if it wasn't Lion King teaching me about death, it was Bambi teaching me about death, or the land before time teaching me about an entire species getting wiped out.

Why do you have to reference all the three things that definitely made me cry? And now, like, everybody's too, like, afraid to kill off characters. Yeah, because it's sad. We're not teaching kids about death anymore where all these Disney movies, well, maybe a little bit Coco, but all these Disney movies now, they don't really teach the hard lessons that I took so much value with growing up because my parents weren't able to teach me certain things. And I found a lot of things that I learned that were essential to me becoming a normal human. I learned through movies. One of those being, Lion King teaching me about death.

I don't think my parents have ever sat me down and really told me about people dying. Like there's an end to this? Yeah, I remember watching the Lion King and then I think when I was maybe 10 years old and my grandpa died

and that was the first time I really learned about death. But before that, they never really talked to me about it. So it was movies, TV shows that I learned from other characters on those fictional things teaching me about real life things, that I wonder if kids still have that. Because the Disney movies I still watch as an adult, I don't learn those lessons as much.

Yeah, it's true. I mean, now that I'm really thinking about current Disney movies, there's really not death. And I get it because death is, like, dark, if you will. But it is a lesson. Can't sell merch with death or people wanted to go to Disneyland with death. Hey, but there is the death eaters and stuff out there that I watched Harry Potter. Yeah. Yeah. Now that you say it, like I really don't think a lot of things that I watch now, unless they're purposely meant for adults, are really have some of those hard lessons in them.

There may be a little bit more discreet about lessons than they used to be. Because even like, I was a big, were you more Nickelodeon or Disney Channel? Disney for sure. I knew you were going to say, you're a Disney Channel kid. You could afford the cable. The premium package of Disney Channel. Okay. Scoo references last week, too, and I don't understand. because we just had cable and they were both on there. I didn't have Disney Channel.

We didn't ever, like, at least from what I remember, like, when I finally started watching TV, there weren't packages. It was just like you just had cable. I mean, I didn't have cable for a lot of my childhood. There was like a period where we got cable and then I think the statute of limitations is up. We were able to hook it back up. So we were still getting cable, but not paying for it after they cut it off.

But we only had Nickelodeon. I was a Nickelodeon kid, but a TV show that I loved on Nickelodeon was Hey Arnold. I loved Hay Arnold. Hey Arnold taught you so many life lessons that I still hold with me to this day. Like, there was a mom who was an alcoholic. It taught you about addiction. It taught you about abusive relationships. There were so many life lessons inside of Hey Arnold that I was thinking, I rewatch it just because I'm like, man, I learned so much from that show.

And I don't know if TV shows or, I don't, I heard that kids don't even watch cartoons. anymore like animated shows. Yeah, I think the closest one is bluey. Yeah. Yeah. But like a show for like, that's, Hey Arnold was like, I was probably like in my preteen era, like that era where it's not like super meant for like young kids, but it's like when you're in those grades where you're so like just trying to find that information of like how to do it live. Like that show taught me so much. Yeah. No, and now that you say that too, I mean, I watched Hey Arnold and I loved it, a little football head guy.

And Rugrats is another one that I watched. I just, I think I blocked out a lot. I don't know that I was old enough to really understand what I was watching or like really remember per se. But now that you're like putting that back to the front of my mind, I do think you're right. I think there was more lessons in a lot of the stuff than there is now. How are you with nostalgia? Do you seek it out?

Or do you, is it just kind of like every now and then you're like, oh yeah, I remember. Like I actively seek out. Like my TikTok feed is just serving me something nostalgic. like every third video. Yeah, yeah. Like when I, I don't know if you do this, but it sounds like you might with, hey Arnold, I really love like my, when I need comfort, I'll watch comfort movies. Like I'll watch Princess Diaries or movies that remind me of like how I fell at a certain point

in my life. You know what I mean? Like comfort shows. Oh yeah. You want me to tell you about my Saturday morning routine right now? Yeah, yeah, I do. So I didn't have Disney Channel, but I remember on regular ABC, they would do. It was called like Saturday morning

It was like Saturday morning Now I can't remember the name of it Was it on Cartoon Network? No, it was just on like regular TV ABC And it was like essentially like Disney Channel But on regular TV for us We couldn't afford it

Okay, let me see I don't know if I'm gonna watch it every Saturday Now that I can't think of the name AV, hold on I don't even know how to Google that Disney on ABC back in the day We'll see if anything pops up Disney anthology

Back in the day There is something called back in the day Disney on ABC back in the day Featured long running Anthology series The Wonderful World of Disney It was called one Saturday morning That's what it was

There was I almost got to it One Saturday morning What it was it was essentially Kind of like TGIF Which if you don't remember that It was like a block on ABC That was like family matters Full House step by step

But instead it was on Saturday mornings One Saturday morning And it was recessed Pepperin and a bunch of other animated Disney shows. Okay, yeah. And it would start with like this big theme song and then go into the cartoons. And there'd sometimes be like little like two hosts maybe in between them that would like set everything up, have a little storylines. But what I do is on YouTube, you can go watch one Saturday morning.

And it's like straight up broadcast from back in like the early 2000s that have all the commercials in it, have all the TV shows in it. So it's just like you're watching Saturday morning TV. as a kid. That's cool. How long are they? They have like it's like two hour videos on YouTube. I don't I usually only watch like I really just need that kick of that theme song and then going into the right the first episode and like have it on the background for the morning. I like listen to it and I like watch it and they like just puts me in a good mood or like I need that on like Saturday is like my one day where I like completely just reset and going back to something like so nostalgic just kind of like cures me a little bit. I'm going to have to try this.

I do. Like nostalgia just makes me feel good, especially the state of the world that we're in right now. I think that's what it's been for me lately. Like I just need something that like I can disassociate and go back to thinking of like when everything was, that's all I worried about. It's like, man, how many episodes I'm going to get to watch? When you were a kid and you didn't know any better? But there are like other feeds on there. You can watch like Nickelodeon and it has all the commercials in there, which Nickelodeon had great commercials.

It made me want to buy Nickelodeon magazine all the time. But there are these cool feeds where you can just go like, like, like you're watching TV in any decade. Okay, I'm going to have to try that because I am. I do have comfort shows. Like, I put on old, I've watched like the Cheetah Girls. I've watched, it's mostly the ones that I really remember when I was like a kind of early teen. Because the Disney ones to your point are a little sad.

So I want to like get depressed over the whole Simba situation in the Lion King. But I will put on like old Disney movies and stuff that I used to watch when I just need to like feel comfort. It's like a warm hug. Yeah. Throw on some chocolate chip cookies and then I'll really be hugging, you know? Full vibe. Well, Mike, thanks for joining this weekend and talking about all the things.
