On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Ho'Brien, 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.

The best bits of the week with Morgan. Part one. Behind the scenes with a member of the show. Welcome to the weekend, everybody. I know we're all happy that it's Saturday, and Eddie is joining me. What's up, Eddie? What's up? Are you happy at Saturday?

Oh, dude, I love the weekend. You know, I live for the weekend. You don't live for each day. You just live for the weekend? No. Every day is like four more days. Three more days, baby. And then when the weekend comes around, I'm so freaking excited.

But do you count down to Friday? Because Friday there's still work. Or do you count down to Saturday? Now, Friday's the finish line. Like, I can see the finish line. So I love Fridays. Even though most of Friday is still taking up by work. I don't even mind working on Fridays because of the, I know that it's going to end at a certain time.

And we're going to be able to just like relax. I can even stay up late. I love staying up late. So the idea of staying up late on a Friday, even though almost every Saturday we have a game or something to go to at 8 in the morning. So that'll hurt a little bit because I still have to wake up. somewhat early, but the fact that I can just go to sleep whenever I want on Friday, I love that feeling. But as a parent, do you actually get weekends? Because you guys have so much going on. No. No, but I can, I can just relax and go with the day, you know? You can just be a dad versus being a

dad and employee. Yes. Yes. All that stuff. Like, yeah, yeah. Weekdays are like packed of the first half of the day is work, work, work, work. And then it's like, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad. Where weekends is like, What do you guys want for dinner? Like that's the first thing in the morning, like on Saturday. I'll be like, first, do you guys want breakfast? Like, yeah. And like if they want like eggs and bacon or whatever on the griddle, like we'll do that. But I'm always like, what do you guys want for dinner?

You want me to like grill something? You want to do ribs? You want to do like. And that they get excited for that. And they know there's football all day. And yes, we probably have games and stuff. But at the end of the day, we're just going to grill in the backyard with like a little campfire. And it's going to be awesome.

And that's your hobby is cooking. You love to cook. I love it. So is that why? you also love Saturday because you know that you get to make a fun meal. Yeah. And there's no pressure because like if you're going to if like my wife's like, hey, well, you do burgers tonight on Wednesday?

I'm just like, if. I have to do that. I have to do burgers. And then like so what if like work runs a little late and then like I'm rushing back from a practice and gosh, it's already like 630 and I got to get burgers ready? It's a pain. Yeah. But Saturdays are never like that.

You know, it's really hard to cook for myself. I cannot imagine having four children's mouths to feed. didn't be like, dang, I not only, because I'll be sometimes, I don't know if you ever do this for the day will have been so busy. I'm like, it's fine. I don't, I don't need to eat or I'll just have a snack. I don't need to eat. You know, like, it gets much to the back burner or I'll like grab a snack. I'm like, let me just grab something out of the fridge. It's like thrown together. But I feel like when you have kids, especially when they're younger, maybe as they get older, they become snack, you know what? But when they're younger, you always have to feed them.

We have to feed them and we have to be consistent on the feeding, especially for our adopted kids, there's some kind of trauma there and not to be serious about it. But like there's, we have to do take that serious. Yeah. And if it's not consistent, there's a, then we start getting some weird reactions.

Yeah. But they're not to say that there aren't days where we're like, you know what, we're doing cereal for dinner. Like, or like we're just going to do breakfast. You want like waffles, put them in the toaster, you know? And that's what we're doing for dinner.

There are definitely days like that. But Morgan, you have to understand that like, if the day's long and we're like, hey, you know what, let's just get McDonald's or Chick-fil-A for dinner. That is $60 for us. And most of the time my wife's like, it's okay, I have salad at home. So that's just five people. And it comes out to like 60.

If she eats, it's 75 bucks for us to like, screw it. Just order a pizza. Screw it. Let's just get Chick-fil-A. It's expensive. So a lot of times I don't do the screw it. So it's either expensive or cost time. Yes.

There's no in between. There's no in between. But I'm totally down with the sandwiches. I'm totally down with like the just put waffles in the... Do you pack kids lunches? Do you guys do that for your kids? My wife does. It depends.

The kids are all different. So like some love lunches because they get to make their own sandwich. There's, we have one of our boys like loves waking up before everyone else. He's the early riser. He loves making his overnight oats the day. before he loves making his own sandwich, packing his own meal. Like, that's just what he loves. He doesn't like the school food.

Yeah, that's fair. And then there are two other ones that are just like, I don't want a sandwich. Like, I want the lasagna they have at school today or the pizza they have at school today. It's just funny the way they're all different. Well, it's also funny because school lunches, I remember that you would find ones that you really liked. You kind of try them all. And then there'd be ones that are like, I definitely want to bring my lunch today.

Or others were like, no, no, no, I want this pizza. Don't bring me food. What do you remember from your school lunches? Like, what was your favorite? I remember the square pizzas. I love square pizza today. Those were the best. But then they also started adding this round pizza that was definitely a frozen pizza.

But for some reason, it tasted so good. But there was no vegetarian one. So I'd always pick off the pepperonies because that's the only way that I could eat it. But did you make sure and get every single one? Because ours, I remember, were little square pepperonies. Do you remember that? Yeah, they were square pepperonies. You should have seen me.

It took me like 10 minutes every time, but I loved that pizza. Me too. It was so good. I know exactly what you're talking about. And it was the, I looked forward to that pizza. Exactly. Me too. I think Morgan, my senior year of high school, I ate pizza. That pizza, a Hawaiian punch. How am I still alive? That pizza, Hawaiian punch and a Hershey's Bar or a Twix. It was either Hershey's Alman or like Twix that I would buy every single day. And that was my lunch. You know, we can blame luncheables for that because luncheables are the ones who introduce adding a piece of candy into their lunches.

Oh, right. So we started to believe that lunches should have. include candy. Man, that's, if we've ever thought about that. That still gets me today. Like, if I eat dinner, I'm just like, all right, done with dinner, I need something sweet. Same. Yep. On the exact same.

I'm like, okay. It's not finished yet. Yeah. I think it's lunchable as well, honestly. That's so funny. If I really think about it. But, I mean, most of the time, my parents, like, bless them, they packed me lunches because I was a vegetarian.

I ate. So most of the meals I couldn't eat. The only ever one I'd not eat for, but I couldn't eat the chili, which is so funny. But in Kansas, they'd always serve. chili with cinnamon rolls. And I love... At school? Yeah.

That was the combination. Interesting. Very big thing in Kansas. And I still, if I make chili, I'll make cinnamon rolls. What do you do chili with? You got the beans, obviously. Yeah. And then what's your protein?

I mean, beans are protein. So if you do a bunch of different beans, you got the protein. I'm so stupid. Lagoon. Yeah, yeah. I guess I was just thinking you need the ground beef or whatever. Yeah. Well, you get added protein if you got all of that.

But they obviously at school lunch, did not have a vegetarian chili. So I would skip lunch just to get the cinnamon roll. That was all I'd eat on those days. And it was good. Yeah, the cinnamon roll so good. But besides that, yeah, I always got PB and J's and lunchebles. Yeah. My parents were trying to find things to feed me at that age.

Who was the lunchpacker? Most of the time it was my dad. Your dad was the lunchpacker? Uh-huh. He was also the same one, but it was funny. By the time, like, he would always make meals. And I look back on this now, you think, like, how you're still alive. I made it so hard on my parents because I didn't eat meat.

So my five meals consisted of mac and cheese, grilled cheese, cheese, cheese, casidia, cheese, pizza, anything with cheese. Sometimes my dad would literally give me macaroni and cheese with mashed potatoes and bread with butter. That was your lunch. Yeah. That was the food that I ate for like dinners when I come home. So how did you heat it up?

Did you use a microwave at school? Yeah, no, those were dinners. Oh, those were dinners. Lunch was always either luncheables or a PB&J. Would you do a grilled cheese? No, I never, none of the delicacies. It was always those they had to save for dinner because that's all they could feed me. Yeah.

So, but he would always make those. And sometimes he'd like, okay, pantry, go find something in the pantry. I'm done today. Yeah, there are days. That was one of his days. So would he, my mom would pack my lunch, not in high school, but like elementary middle school, obviously. In high school, I would do my own.

But, and I had like a little cooler. Yep. Like it was like a little ice chest cooler or whatever. But my mom would write little notes. Yes. On napkins. Would your dad do that? My mom would.

So it's funny, like my dad would have, but my mom would always write little notes. That was like their, come out. Weren't those so freaking cool to find? They were the best part of my day. And we acted like, oh, cool, whatever, never did. But like, my mom would write just like, have a nice day. I hope like everything's good today. Whatever.

Like, I loved it. Yep. Those are my favorite, too. They used to make these little cards that were specifically for lunch notes. And I want to say they had like a little character on them and you'd like pop them open and there would be the writing. That's funny. Do you know what I'm talking about?

I've never seen that in my life. I just really remember these like little lunch cards and they would always, I got so excited and they had like a little critter on them and then her note would be in them. And it would make me so happy. But yeah, like the little lunch notes were my favorite. I know. Little things that were you remember. Do you do that for your kids whenever they make lunch?

I never make their lunch because I'm always at work. Yeah. But I think my wife does little notes for them. I think she does. Yeah. I've never, we never talked about it. This is really the first time I've even thought about that. You should start stinking them in because they're awesome.

I don't know at the age now where they're going to remember. Yeah. I mean, I don't think my parents started doing that until maybe middle school, high school age. Yeah, you're right. I'm thinking middle school is kind of when I remember the note. Maybe even too, thinking like, this is embarrassing. Like, hide it a little bit. You know, like, my mom's already me and know they're going to make fun of me.

But now we're in our 30s, 40s, and we treasure that. I know. Is that wild? Yeah, and that's funny you say that because these are conversations I have with my kids a lot, like when they're embarrassed about things. Like, guys, you're going to miss these moments. And I get it. You're embarrassed.

You're embarrassing. You feel like it's like we're embarrassing you or whatever. But like you're going to really miss this time. Like you're going to go back and look at this time and be like, oh, that's cool when my parents did that, whatever. But other kids, you're not going to remember that stuff. Yeah. Most of it.

They won't. But there's going to be those things that they'll, when they're having a random conversation. Yep, like this. And they're going to look back and say, oh, my gosh, they get that. Yeah. And it's such a cool feeling to know that you were loved in such a big way. Yes. You know?

I don't know. I feel like that's what makes it so emotional. You take it for granted when you're a kid. Like you even think about it. They're kind of annoying. Like parents like, oh, they're always on me. But like they all, we were their life. Mm-hmm.

Which makes it so. And you know that now, especially. I feel it all the time. Yes. How is things going with the kids? Do you have, give me an update for each kid. Uh, you know, like, it's just, it's just always ups and downs. Like always.

I think this, what we're dealing with recently is we went to Hershey, Pennsylvania. Yes, which I want to hear about. Which was awesome. And we took them to the amusement park there. It's called Hershey Park. Wait, you took the whole fam? The whole family came on the trip. That's awesome.

Which never happens. Yeah. So much fun. And so we went to the park and I kind of like, both my wife and I both just kind of like lost it because everyone was just being selfish. We have a 17 year old, a 12 year old, an 11 year old, and a 6 year old. And I understand that they all want to do different things. But we are there as a family. And if we are doing a little ride for the little boys,

everyone else needs to just, you know, deal with it and come with us on a little ride. If we're going on a scary ride, the little one has to just kind of like understand that we're doing the scary ride. And that's just how it's going to be. Because we don't want to break up and like, all right, see you guys.

I'm going with the big boys. You go with the little boys and we'll see you guys at 6 o'clock. Like we were going to do that. We're going to go experience this park together. Yeah, your friend as a family. And everyone can ride every ride. Even the little one could ride the scary one if he wants to. If he doesn't, I'll stay back with him.

No big deal. And wait. Yeah. And so everyone just started complaining. Like, just, oh, it's stupid. Oh, why does he want to go on this ride? Oh, why does you have such a baby? Like, don't be a baby.

Come on this ride. And like, we're like, you know what? We just were like so upset. We're like, you guys are ruining this trip. And everyone was just being so bratty. Like, so brady. and like, I'm hungry, I'm not hungry. And like, well, whoever's not hungry, don't eat.

Yeah. And whoever's hungry, eat. And it was just kind of like, we'd hit a moment that kind of bled into the week, really, because like we got back. And I was like, stuff needs to change. Like, we can not be acting like this. And so that's just kind of what we've been dealing with. Just everyone not being so self-centered and think about everyone else a little more.

You know? And even when it comes to like chores around the house, people are like, I didn't do that. So why do I need to pick that up? Like, and so this week we're like, we're not doing that anymore. We're done. We're done with this whole like, no, he did that. So he has to pick that up. We're actually all going to do it. Like everyone's going to do it. If you see something that shouldn't be there, you're going to pick it up even though you didn't put it there. Do you feel like that's just part of them aging though and they're starting to get their own personalities and understanding of who they are and what they believe? Yeah, but they just bully each other whenever. like saying like in the roller coaster like oh he's so scared he doesn't want to ride this roller coaster and it's just like where's the the empathy like understand that he's scared of the roller coaster well and you know what i will tell you that still happens when you get older i got bullied and riding roller coasters by my older sister when i went to disney three years ago i know i know did you do it though yeah and i cried the whole time yeah my whole body was i was literally like trembling because i don't like roller coasters let's take a break from talking about the parenting let's talk about roller coasters for a little bit Okay, okay.

Because I want to talk about this. Okay. Okay, tell me about rolling on. Do we have time? Do you get a break? No, go. Okay, okay. Give me like a punchline and then we'll go to a break and we can keep talking about it.

Okay, all right. Like right now? Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll give you a punchline. Roller coasters, I don't know if I can do them anymore. Okay. I don't know if I can do roller coasters anymore. Okay, so this may have to do with Eddie getting older.

So we are going to take a quick break and we're going to get into this. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. Ramels. sending on to Ernie Stewart the chip. Score! I'm Tad Ramos. I'm Tom Boe.

On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines. I'm not worried about Policic. I'm not worried about Balagan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers,

he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge support. if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen to Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. Hey, Ernest, what's up?

Look, money is something we all deal with, but financial literacy is what helps turn income into real wealth. On each episode of the podcast, Earn Your Leisure, we break down the conversations you need to understand money, investing, and entrepreneurship. From stocks and real estate to credit, business, and generational wealth, we translate complex financial topics into real conversations everyone can understand. Because the truth is, most people will never talk how money really works. But once you understand the system, you can start to build within it. That means ownership, smarter investing, and creating opportunities not just for yourself, but for the next generation.

If you want to learn how to build wealth, understand the markets, and think like an owner, earn your leisure is the podcast for you. Listen to earn your leisure on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. If you are a founder or a freelancer or the friend who always says, hey, you know what, what if I started that? This is for you. I'm telling you I had nothing to my name.

I didn't know a single person in New York. And somehow I'm dressed by Oscar DeLorenta walking down that red carpet. This month, we sit down with entrepreneurs and creators who actually did it, who turned the scary leap into a business, a paycheck and a life they are proud of. Direct center of our happiness or our regrets is whether or not we're taking action on the things that matter to us. They're not selfish.

They're so important. They actually lead to our greatest contributions because when we're living, fulfilled, we actually show up better everywhere. We lead better. We're better friends. We're better relationships and collaborators and all those things because we have passion about the things we're doing. If you're trying to build something of your own this year, join us in these conversations

I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I said, hi, Dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen.

She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at her mom. Yeah.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans. A show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts.

or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, Eddie. Why can you do roller coasters? It's a mix of a lot of things. Like my body, yes, like just the jerking back and forth. My neck hurts. Like all that stuff. I don't know.

My body's just getting a little too old for roller coasters. But you know what? I will do it until like I can't move my neck anymore. Like I love roller coasters. But what's happening lately is my brain takes over and the fear of like dying on the roller coaster kicks in. I know that it's not going to fall off the rail, but every time, like, when we were at Hershey Park, I would look, we would get in the carts or whatever, and I would look at the rail and be like,

how do we stay on this? Like, I can't understand the engineering of how, like, we don't just fly upwards whenever we go straight down. And then before you know it, we're on it. We're going. And it's flying. And I'm like, I don't understand this. Like, what if?

And then I look at the roller coaster on like across the way and they're stuck as it's going up. Like they've been there for like five minutes. Oh my gosh. What if we get stuck? So my mind just is, I don't know, man. My mind just goes haywire on roller coasters now thinking that this thing is not going to, like my buckle's not going to stay intact or like whatever was locked on around my chest is now going to come loose and I'm going to die. Like the days of me putting my hands up, Morgan, are over.

You didn't put your hands up a single time. No. And I used to love putting my hands up. I, my hands, my knuckles are white because I'm squeezing every bar so hard. Okay, so let's break this down further. When's the last time before this that you had ridden a roller coaster? Disney World. Disneyland.

Disneyland in California. Which was how many years? Summer. This past summer. Yeah. And you were fine. No. Same.

Okay. Same. When's the last time you wrote a roller coaster and didn't have this thought? I would say 10 years ago. I think it's you becoming a dad. I'm worried about the family. I think as a parent, correct me completely if I'm wrong, but as a parent, you will take over worst case scenarios because you have to plan for that. You have to know how to handle any scenario, right?

That's your job. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm responsible for them. So maybe in general things have become more, a little bit more worst case scenario where I have to think about what could possibly happen versus just living in this moment. But I understand that. I don't know. That's a thing. I think you're right. You're right.

That's probably the root of it. But I have to understand that it's not going to, none of that's going to happen. No. But I'm never going to say that because like things have happened on roller coasters. I know. I know. And I did say that while we were Hershey Park. I was like, guys, one of the boys didn't want it.

He's like, I'm a little scared of this one, dad. And I'm just like, hey, what's the worst that can happen? And I started thinking like, well, actually we could die. Granted, that's very like unicorn moments that that happened. Yeah. Yeah. I can't be like, yeah, no, that's never going to happen. But as with all adrenaline things, there's always a chance something goes wrong.

But the likelihood is slim. Yeah. So, but I get it. Like, I get the fear-based thing. Like, you cry. Oh, I've been afraid of roller coasters since I was a kid. Why are you crying? I don't like the stomach drop feeling.

It's not the roller coaster itself. That's the worst. I hate that feeling of just like your whole body, you can do nothing about it. You're just suspended in air. that makes me literally want to like crawl into a hole and never come out. And so when those happen and my sister bullied me into riding a 20 foot roller coaster that had a 20 foot. And we're getting to this drop the whole time I'm in. 20 foot.

That doesn't sound like a lot. It doesn't. But you know what? Because that's like one foot. So it's 20 of my feet. Probably 200. I don't know. They say it's a 20 foot like just straight down drop.

Okay. So whatever that means. But they we get this whole ride I'm into anticipating this drop, right? and then I'm sitting there and my body's shaking and I'm like ready for it and we get to the drop and it's happening and I'm screaming and tears are rolling down my face

and we get down and my mom like touches me and I'm just like vibrating my body is not doing well and I was like okay Taylor I did it please leave me alone I don't want to ride anymore roller coaster I'm done but she still would give me a hard time for it and I still do like it's it's a good thing

because she encourages me to face my fear but there's moments where I'm like leave me alone. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's a good balance. Yeah. You need that. You need that push.

Just say, face it. Yeah, but no one needs a roller coaster. Like, we don't need a roller coaster. But it's good to face your fears. I understand that. I understand that. But, like, some people just don't like roller coasters. And we shouldn't pressure anyone that doesn't like roller coasters to ride a roller coaster.

You know what was interesting was my brother, we met my brother out there. And because he lives in Pennsylvania. just an hour and a half away. I love this. You guys had a whole family weekend. Yeah, it was just, it just worked out that way. You know, like they, they said, I can invite my family if I wanted to. And I said, of course. So brought them. And then I was like, when my brother lives an hour, hour away, like, let me call him see if he wants to come meet us there. And they like, yeah, they gave him a ticket to. He showed up. And so I was legitimately thinking, like, wait a minute, he just had a stroke. Like, can he ride rides? Oh, yeah. You know, he had a stroke a year,

over a year ago. And so, you know, I called my sister, who's a nurse, you know, and it's like, hey, just stupid question. But, like, can my brother, like, rides? And she was like, no, like, he can't do little rides, but he can't do roller coasters. And it's funny. It's like, okay, and that's before he got there. And then when he got there, I was like, hey, bro, you want to, like, what are you

thinking? And he's like, no, dude. Like, I can't. There's no way. I think it's just a blood pressure thing. Well, it's funny that you mentioned that because, so my boyfriend, we ended up talking about this on the podcast, it's his story. He had a stroke when he was 13.

He did? And he had to have two brain surgeries. Whoa. Got like a piece of his brain removed. We went to Disney World and he wrote everything. And I was like, I just don't feel like this. He loves roller coasters. Maybe it's a time thing, you know, where like it happened so long ago that.

He was told he wasn't supposed to. Oh, dude. But he loves them. And he's like, I, you know, I'm fine. Like, he's a miracle in a lot of ways. He was never supposed to walk, talk, anything again. And he did. And I'm like, okay, well, are we like pushing the boundaries here by like doing things we shouldn't?

And he ended up being fine. But every time he rode one. Like he didn't realize it. But my heart was just like, okay, is it over yet? You were having my feeling too. Literally. Like I was having more anxiety about that than me riding roller coasters. Yeah.

Because you just don't know because it is, it is not, you're not supposed to. It's a known thing. Even me with vertigo, I'm not supposed to be riding them. Did you ever feel anything with vertigo? Mm-mm. No. I think I just got lucky. but there were moments where I was like, okay, is that about to happen?

I took a lot of dramamine. I was drugged up on dramamine. That helps the vertigo. It just helps the dizziness, which I think helps my, like, anxiety with the vertigo. But, yeah. So we were two people who should not have been on majority of those rides. What is your ideal roller coaster? Like, just best one that you would enjoy.

Like, you don't like the upside downs, I'm assuming. Oh, no, no, no, no. You don't like the big drops. No. The only one that I really love is Guardians of the Galaxy at, Disney World. That one's legit. Did you write that one? Yeah, but that one just go straight down. But that's weird. No, it's inside. So that's also a thing, which is interesting. Where the Guardians of Galaxy just falls. Oh, you're thinking of the Disneyland one. There's two separate ones.

Okay, hold on. Let me think. I thought I went to the Disney World one. Disney World one is a coaster inside. Okay. And you're like rotating around planets. Okay. You remember that? Yeah, I remember that. That's the one I like. You like being in the dark because you don't know what you're doing? Yeah, because it's almost like a mind game. You know, like half of your fears always come. It's a mind game. Oh, it is. That's definitely my fear. It's all in my mind. Exactly. So when you're in the dark, you can't see what's happening.

Okay. I do remember that one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's enjoyable because I love Marvel. I love guardians. Yeah.

So that one I can do like no fear. I'm excited about it. But I don't know what it actually looks like. And I think that's majority of why I can do that. Yeah, that is fun. The worst is when you're climbing and you can see the whole world from up there. And then you're like, we're about a drop. Literally.

And it's not going to feel good. Let me tell you. So when we did go to Universal because we went to the new epic, this, last trip. Oh, this was Universal. Well, so we've done Universal and we were at Disney too. So we did both. But that Guardians one is at Disney World. Yeah, okay. But at Epic, they have

a coaster, which is the one that somebody recently passed on, which is super sad. This is the one we rode. Mind you, I didn't realize what this coaster really was. I knew it was a coaster, but I thought it was like a tame one. I'd be fine. So we rope drop. You know what rope drop is where you like run.

As soon as a park opens, you run to a ride. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're trying to beat the line and get in So you got there before the park opened and waited at the gate? Yes. And then as soon as it opened and you ran to the right. We went to this one because this is supposed to be major one. And you knew that the line was going to be super long if you waited. Exactly.

So we're there. We get there. And I'm like, we get strapped in and I looked at my boyfriend. I was like, this is a roller coaster. I went off in this ride. I didn't agree. And he was like, Morgan, you're the one who took us here. I was like, I didn't put two and two together until right now.

And like, before I knew it, we were off. And the whole time, I just had tears running down my face. like shaking on and we like got back into my boyfriend. I was like, are you okay? I was like, no, I'm really not. And he was like, okay, let's get you to safety for a little bit. And I needed a break for like 20 minutes. That's how you started your day too.

Yes. I was so dumb. So dumb. See, when we went to Disney, we went to Disneyland over the summer, we took our six year old. He was like, he had no idea about roller coasters. And he was just like, let's go, baby. Let's go.

And he got on Incredible, Incredic coaster, which is. like the Incredibles. And like, I think I've shown you that. Have I showed you that video? Yeah. And so like, it's scarred him for life now. Now, like, that's his impression of a roller coaster and he doesn't want that again. And so the whole time we were at Hershey Park, he's just like, is this as fast as that other one?

Because I don't want to do it. Somehow, we talked him into going on another roller coaster, a big boy roller coaster. And he was like, I don't, okay, okay, I'll do it. He sits down. He gets strapped. in and he's like, I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. I want to get out.

I'm like, buddy, you're going to be okay. He's like, no, dad, I'm serious. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do it. He starts crying. He starts crying. And then we take off. And he goes, this is awesome.

And it was amazing because it went from like so scared to like, yes. And as soon as it's over, he was like, I want to do it again. That's so cool. It's so cool because I thought we scarred him for life. Mm-hmm. Well, and he had panic as I was starting. I know. He was crying in tears.

But then like, shifted to like, okay, this is so cool. Yeah. It's so crazy how that happens. And it's also hard with coasters because I feel like you have to really walk this fine line of when you first let them do it. Like, are they ready for this? I know. And our guideline was like they're saying he's tall enough to do it.

So let's do it. Well, you would assume, but it's so tough. Everybody's different. I know. I know everyone's different. You know, but everybody has those like traumatizing experiences. And it's like it either goes one way or the other. Yeah.

And my whole family, besides me, me and my dad, really, they're coaster nuts. Like, your dad doesn't like roller coasters? No, him and I both got like the dizziness nausea, which also like adds another layer. To that part. Yeah, so like him and I both just don't feel good when we ride coasters on top of me also having the fear. But my mom, sister, one of my other sisters, they like go nuts. Like they'll do the crazy, they want to do the crazy drops, the crazy like Jurassic coaster,

which is the most insane one that I've been around in recent years. That was at Universal. That's at Universal. Yeah. That's like a monster. it goes back and turns and ups and downs. I was going to ask you about backwards. What do you think about backwards?

That might be my worst. That might be my least favorite. It caused me so much anxiety. And there's one that we rode that you literally shoot up because it was like one of the new ones. Again, I'm trying. I'm trying. You're trying.

You're trying. You're trying new things. It was so tough. Facing your fears. This coaster goes up. It ends. It's like a horror coaster. I hate that.

And it goes all the way to the end. Go backwards. So there was one called the Jolly Rancher remix at Hershey Park. Wait, was everything candy candy? Everything. Oh my gosh, Morgan, you would love this place. Okay. Everything was candy.

Everything was a Twizzler's something. The Hershey Something bar. Like the Jolly Rancher remix. The Reese's whatever. Like everything was candy themed. I didn't even know this place. Like I knew about Hershey school. Yeah.

I didn't realize there was this whole amusement park, all this stuff around it. In Hershey, Pennsylvania. And the whole town is, um, it's just based around. chocolate. Like the original chocolate factory is there, which is now just headquarters, like corporate headquarters. They don't really make chocolate at the original factory. Yeah. But it's still there and it looks like the original factory. And all the street lamps are made of Hershey Kisses. Like, everything, all the street names are named after Hershey Bar. Like, it's just

the coolest place ever. But let me tell you about the Jolly Rancher remix. Jolly Rancher remix. So the Jolly Rancher Remigms. Freaked me out. So you go, like you start off like you said you backs you up. It loads you. It loads you all the way to the highest top ever and to where it stops. And you get to see the whole part from up there and it drops you forward. And you go all the way down. You hit a loop to the loop into another loop to do loop. And then you go to the end of the other side. And then the other side stops and it loads you. And you're about to go backwards and redo it. Remix. And then once you're going to be able to go backwards and redo it. Remix.

No. And then once it lets you go, it's the same thing that you just did. But backwards, dude, I wanted to die. I'm like, get me off of this thing now. And you used to be a big roller coaster lover? Loved it. But now you're just. I don't know, man.

It's just like, I still enjoy. Like, I'm still like, that was pretty cool. But the trauma that my body just took and my mind, like, it's not worth it anymore. You're like, I don't really know what's happening to me. It's funny. Like you, it's almost like you switch places with your son. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like you loved him, he hated him. Now he loves him and you're like, I hate him. I mean, that's just like maybe life. Maybe you just transferred it to him. Like, you know what? I've had enough. You can take this. Maybe.

But yeah, it was interesting. So favorite parts about Hershey besides, I guess the... No, chocolate. Like, it's chocolate. Everywhere you go, there's chocolate. Like, the hotel we stayed at and you walk in and it smells like chocolate. That's cool. The shampoo is smells like chocolate.

The soap is chocolate-scented. like everything like that you check into the hotel and they give you a Hershey bar like like it's just part of what they are like if you go to a restaurant you know how they give you a mint at the like when you pay no you get Hershey kisses that's so funny every restaurant you go to has something chocolate covered like so the entire town of Hershey Pennsylvania is like this yeah it's not that big the town's really not that big is this a town that they created yeah okay so is it in and like outside of a bigger town outside of Harrisburg Pennsylvania Okay.

And Hershey is just kind of made up because it's like, it's like Disney World, its own little area. It's like, it's like the way you think about it is like, so they decided to make a chocolate factory there. If you're going to work at the chocolate factory, you're going to live in this town. So everyone that lived in that town worked in the factory. So and then you start looking at like, all right, so the factory drives this town. So then the factory, the chocolate company makes a golf course and that's where you guys can play golf. And then they created the amusement park back then for employees for them to do stuff on the weekends. So that's what they would do.

And the whole town is just built on people that worked for the chocolate company. That's cool. It's kind of a generational community. Yeah. When did Hershey, I guess, start? I don't know. I mean, the school was 1919, I believe. Let me see.

When was Hershey created? Let's see. 19 or no, 1894. Okay, so 1894. when it was founded. And it just learned so much about like just that. They said what I heard, ooh, what I heard was they're making a movie. They've already shot the movie on Milton Hershey.

Okay. And kind of how this empire started. Yeah. And it's supposed to be out like, I don't know, in a few years. But I'm excited about that. He's the real life Willy Wonka. He is the real life Willy Wonka. I mean, that's what this sounds like.

Yeah. It's no different than like Walt Disney. You think of Walt Disney and what he created. Correct. Like he was this very just special human. being that's Milton Hershey. Correct. And just the brand Hershey just kind of, it screams your, it screams childhood, like a Hershey's Bar, a Hershey's Kiss, like all that, a smores.

Like, you know, you got to have a Hershey's Bar and smores. All that stuff is just like, it's so, I don't know, when I got there, I'm like, this is my place. I love that you got to have your family there too, just for that whole experience. Totally. And your brother, not just like your family, but also your brother. The whole family, yeah. And what's funny, too, is I didn't think they were, so it's around Halloween.

time so they had a bunch of like Halloween decorations and they go really big on Halloween. I'm thinking like, well, that's cool. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's normal. But I started thinking like, well, that's exactly why like they're so big on Halloween because this is a big time of year for them. Yeah, candy. Like candy. This is a huge time of year for them. So like they treat Halloween like Christmas there. Yeah. It probably is their Christmas. It's their Christmas. Yeah. You know, because you associate chocolate with Christmas too, but Halloween is candy. No, man. It's all, it's all candy. Yeah. And then the, then the races turns into a pumpkin like all of that so would you go back 100% okay it's it's an interesting place because it's not like on the way to anywhere yeah you kind of have to go somewhere to get there yeah like who goes

to Harrisburg Pennsylvania like I don't not very often yeah unless you're specifically going to go for Hershey yes and everything around there's somewhat close I think Philadelphia is maybe like two and a half hours away okay so like um it's it's kind of in the middle of of bigger cities. So, like, I can understand people that live there going there for the weekend, you know, and doing that kind of stuff. But I don't see a lot of people traveling across the country to go there, which I don't know. I highly recommend.

Yeah, but there's a lot of people that love an amusement park, and I didn't even know this existed. It's really cool. Now I might have to go, especially because I love candy. Yeah. But I can't have candy. Who doesn't love candy? But I did, I will tell you, I did kind of burn myself out a little bit. Like, when I got back, I was like, I can't have any more chocolate.

Okay. You've got to stop eating excessive amounts of things. Why? Hot dogs. You're like ruining. It's like a kid with their, you know, when you're a, you drink alcohol for the first time and you vomit and you're like, I can never have that again. I know. That's what you're doing to foods.

I know. Like the last day we were there, we were like, let's get some ice cream. And so I got like a Hershey's Smoors ice cream Sunday. And then Morgan, I thought the price was a little expensive. I'm like, that's $11 a lot for like an ice cream. But I know while it was $11. The thing was freaking massive. It was like four huge scoops of ice cream with chocolate all over all over it, with graham crackers in it and marshmallows.

Like it was delicious. But I was like, this is it. Like this is it. Did the family help you eat it or was that just yours? Oh, yeah, yeah. I was like, I can't do all this. Oh my gosh. Well, thanks for sharing about Hershey.

Yeah, it was fun. I'm glad you got to do that. You all need to go. I do. I love candy, so I love to go. We're going to take one more quick break and we'll be right back. It's about to explode. The World Cup is coming.

Speaking of trips, I got to go to a little mountain cabin.

That's where my boyfriend took me for my birthday. Was this the surprise, Ohio, Ohio surprise? Georgia. But what was the hint? I thought the hint was Ohio. No. The hint was that it was three hours away. Oh, three hours away.

So we assumed Ohio. Got it. And then he told me Georgia. Okay. And then I learned that was like a mountain thing. How did it start? Like, okay, so what day did you guys go? We left after the show on Friday last Friday.

And he told you what? He was like, I knew it was in Georgia and I knew it was three hours away. That's all I knew. So he said, we're going to Georgia and it's going to be three hours. Yeah, and I was like, what do I pack? He's like a bunch of comfy clothes. Warm clothes. We'll pack games.

That's all you need to worry about. So we get in the car. We're like 15 minutes from the place, mind you. The whole ride up, I'm just sitting there like, okay, I'm pointing to all the signs. I'm like, is that where we're going? Is that where we're going? Why can't you just enjoy the trip? I'm not good at surprises.

Like, why can't you just sit back? I wanted to, but like everything in me needed, I'm so, you know me. I'm kind of a little control freak. I know, I know. And so I was like, well, what are we doing? Where are we going? What's going to happen? Plus, you want to prepare your mind for it, too.

Like, you're probably imagining what it's going to be like, but you have nothing. Yeah, and I had nothing. So we're like, 10 minutes. We're driving up. And I'm like, okay, well, we're creeping up a mountain. And he's like, okay, you got to close your eyes. Well, that mess you up because of vertigo. He's like, I don't need you to get sick.

Good, good point. But he's like, close your eyes, I do. And like, I open him and we're on top of Lookout Mountain. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Which is apparently where you can see seven states. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, so is this by Chattanooga?

Yep, it's outside of, so we were just across the border. It was called Rising Fawn. Yeah, I've been there. Georgia. It's pretty legit. It was gorgeous. And they had created these cute little cabins that had wood-fired ovens so you can make a pizza. That's the best.

So we bought like ingredients to make a pizza, which mind you, different pizza than normal right now because it had to be gluten-free, dairy-free. Oh, yeah. Because of all the stuff that I'm doing right now. And so he, like, he had thought of everything. But it was like, Eddie was the perfect weekend. I want to live with the mountains so bad. I know.

I know. I get that feeling, too, when we go to mountains. Especially, like, in a cabin. I'm like, I can do this. Like, I can do this for the rest of my life. It's so peaceful. It is. You can watch beautiful sunrises, sunsets.

Do you think it'll ever get boring, though? Like, knowing what your life is now and what you're able to do now. Like, if you want to go out and. see a show, you want to go hang out with the girls downtown, you're able to do that. But do you think if you lived in the mountain, in the little mountain cabin in the middle nowhere, which is awesome and beautiful, but you don't have that option anymore. You think you do that? I think so just because I would go on hiking a lot. And hiking would be a really good activity for me, because I love that. But I do think there would be moments where I'd go stir crazy. You know, when you get very like, I need to be out of the

house and do things because I do have that like innate, but I'm trying to learn. Learn to slow down. Who knows, though? Like, you might change. You may not want to crave that kind of stuff anymore. I think that I become a more peaceful, more patient person when I'm out there. I agree. Because life slows down.

Yeah. When life around you doesn't feel chaotic, you don't feel chaotic. But then you also realize that we create our own stress. Yeah. Like, we create our own stress when you look at like, whenever you're in the woods, like in the woods in the mountain. And you think about like, what are they doing back home? Like moving. We're late for this.

We got to do that. You go back to the mountain area. We're not late for anything. No, and that's the best part. You're on mountain time. There's no time, man. Like, oh, what am I late on? Oh, getting a glass of wine starting a fire.

Like, I'm not late for it. We'll do that when we do it. I love that part. And that's why I very much think maybe when I get to retirement age, hopefully that happens in my life. Soon. Probably sooner than me, yeah. 401K still working on it.

I would love for that to look. I know a lot of people tend to go and do beaches and they go warmer. I think people just do different things. That's interesting. I would do beach for sure. But I like it. I like them both. Yeah, there's just something peaceful about not having a lot of noise around you.

And I really think it's in general. Like you mentioned, I think I'm getting to that point in my life where I just want things to slow down. That's good. You know, I need peace. I think we have lived. a very fast life for a long time. Like, you know, I joke about retirement and everything, but

when my wife and I sit down and we really just talk, I always tell her like, I'm ready to like, I'm ready. Like, we've been moving so fast for so long. Like, even just our marriage, like, we've just been moving fast. Yep. That like, I'm ready to slow down.

Well, it's even, you think that you get to a point. You're like, okay, well, if we do X, Y, Z, then we can do this finally. Or then you get to that point, you do it. And you're like, okay, well, let's do this so we can get to this. It's always like, you're always trying to plan for the next thing to come. There's never just this moment of like living in the now and what's happening. And I've really tried to focus energy on like here, right now, what's happening today?

But that's so hard to do when you have a job and you have to pay bills and you have this entire thing that you've created. You know, going and living in the mountains right now is not sustainable. Right. It's not a life that I can actually have right now. Yeah. And that's sad though because that's not. you though you probably could like like if you really wanted to you could probably sell everything you'd have to have some kind of income but it could just be working at the corner store like

down the hill down the mountain you know or somewhere in the mountain town like you could i have thought about this you could totally do it because i've also thought about just like packing up romey hazel and i've even told my boyfriend like would would you um just move across the water like Like just, you know, little town in Italy where we can just like work at a coffee shop and hang out there. You could. And like, I love that idea. If everything honestly goes to crap, I think I would do one of those two. And just for a little bit and see what happens.

Like work? Yeah. Say something happens. But why why wait for that? I don't know. I just, I don't know that I'm there yet. I think I still have more to accomplish. And I think that's what keeps me hanging on.

Do you wish? See, this is so interesting because like, do you wish that you could. be more like screw it let's just go yeah see i don't because i i feel like i would just get myself into so much crap i'd eventually get out of it but i mean like like gambling no no no no no no no like i used to be like who cares like let's just let's just stay out till the sun comes up yeah and then you're like next day you're like dan i should not have done that like i'm exhausted You know what I mean? Like, so there's always like, I used to love just doing stuff on a whim.

But the thought of like the next day or like going to work the next day or preparing for whatever. Like the reality is like, okay, we need to be a little more responsible. Yeah, but see if you pack up and you move to the beach and you work on a fishing charter, not a lot of responsibilities besides making sure you're on that fishing charter. No, but there still is just smaller. Exactly. You know, but you don't have kids. And now I'm screwed.

Like, I have kids. I can not bring them all on the boat. Like, it can't. Hey, you could. I could. I don't want to uproot them from their life now. I know. Because that would be just stressful for them.

But there's always a you could. I could. Hey, I can leave my family and go. Oh, we're not talking about that. I don't want that for you. I could. Hey, you could. Like, I don't know.

It's just, it's a weird thought because like we all could. but it's the fear of like I mean I wouldn't have my family here like you if you went to Italy your family would be in Wichita you would never see them yeah because you're in Italy now I know but it's like that thing where

I just I really like think about because listeners were always calling it and be like what would you guys do with the show in? I really think for like a brief couple months if everything were to just blow up one day I'd be like okay this is the moment I'm gonna go hang out in the mountains for a while

or like go over to Europe and hang out there for a little bit. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like I really think that would happen. Yeah. But until that happens, I don't know that I would. Do you ever wish that it blew up? So you could do that?

Yeah. So do I. Because I don't want to voluntarily blow up my own life. But why though? But why? You see, there's something here. There's something. Yeah, there's something left to accomplish.

Like, you know that there's more coming. I know. But the fact that we both would wish for things that just force us to do what we really want, why not just do what we really want versus wait for something to force us to do what we really want? Because that's unconditional. No, because we're responsible and we're stress balls.

Like, that's what it is. We're like, no, we have to, guys, everyone depends on us. We have to make money. We got to survive. We have to make a certain amount of money. Live in a house. We have to, like, I get it, but we don't. Well, we're not, aren't they called like vagabonds?

where you're like really good at doing that where you can just like up and leave and go and I've never really had that in my body like I have I have to have plans because your mind says you need a plan for it I need to have an organized situation I need to be like calculated but you're also gifted with the idea with with the capability of getting yourself to an okay place wherever you are I know you know what I mean like if you left and you're like I just going to go live in Italy, you would figure it out. You would figure it out somehow and you would make enough money to have a place to live and all that. So you're equipped with that as well. But you're also a little not able to do that because you're like, I can't do that right now for whatever reason. Yeah. Aren't we

weird? We are weird. We're very weird. It's like a weird, but you know, maybe one day it all happens. Just whenever it all goes down, we'll see. It all blows up. Okay. I had a few stories for you, but I want you to choose one, and that's what we'll end on. Okay. Okay. So A is a wanted man. Two is a reckless cop. What the kind of game is this?

It's a projector screen. Those are all clues to what the stories are going to be about. So you choose. Oh, I got you. Okay. Say it again. A is a wanted man. Two is a reckless cop.

And three is a projector screen. Let's do the wanted man. man. Okay. So my boyfriend, thankfully. He's a wanted man. No. Oh, God, no. That'd be horrible. Come on. Tell me more. Tell me more. No, he's awesome. He's made off of my plate because he loves. Shirtless. I'm sure. It's lovely. It's great experience for me. Well, you sit on the porch and your lemonade watching him. Cut your grass. No, I don't do that part. But I was about to take Remy for a walk. I was like looking out the front door and I was about to take her. I have to put her in a stroller right now because she tore a ligament in her knees so she can't walk. So I was like getting her all prepped to

go. And as I'm doing this, I just see this like, whoosh, this guy runs into the yard. And he's like... Front or back? Front yard. Okay. And he's like having an intense conversation with my boyfriend and I'm like, what is going on? So I like run out front. And I'm like, hey, and this guy's like yelling. He's like, call 911. Somebody needs help. There's people following me and saying all these kinds of things. And he's like, give me your phone. And my boyfriend's like, no, no, no, I'll call 911. So he calls 911 and puts it on speaker and they're both talking.

And then some other lady drives into the driveway and is like, is everybody okay? And he's like yelling. And we can't tell if somebody's hurt or if he's hurt or all we can figure out is there's an emergency somewhere. Right? This is how urgent he is. And so my boyfriend's talking to the 911 operator. He's standing there just like very, you can tell just something is very, Is that you?

No, that's not me. Is that your stomach? Is that your stomach? No, it's either mine or yours. That's true. We don't eat. Remember? And this is all happening.

And then the guy just runs off. He runs towards the backyard of our neighbor's house, jumps a fence. Oh, crap. And keeps going. And my boyfriend's still talking to the 911 operator. And the operator finally starts to put pieces together and was like, was this guy wearing a camo hat and had like this shirt on my boyfriend's like, yeah, that's. him and she was like okay well he's wanted for something that happened on the street over and my

boyfriend is like for for what exactly yeah and she's like well i can't disclose that it's an open open investigation and i'm just like well where is he yeah he was just running in the yard where did he go so she like hangs on the phone and then we never hear anything again oh that's crazy never and mind you i still went on my walk i went to a different street yeah because i didn't go back to that He didn't follow where he went. No. So what was he saying, though, to your boyfriend? Like, what were the things he was telling the cops?

He was very erratic. He started off. When he ran up to initially, he said, because my boyfriend told me this after, he ran up, he's like, call 911, somebody needs help. And so, and he was like, but, like, trying to get my boyfriend's phone. And at first my boyfriend was like, are you trying to, like, steal my phone and run away? Yeah, that's confused. That's weird.

You know, what are you doing? He's like, I'll call. And so my boyfriend, like, tries to calm him down. And it was like, I'll call 911. He dials and the guy's standing there. It's on. speaker phone. And he was just standing there. It's all he was running. No. No. And so he's like describing, he was like, people were coming after me. And there's some people over there that

aren't okay. I'm assuming there's drugs involved. It would be my guess the way that he was kind of acting. And so what we gathered is either that somebody needed help or somebody was following him. And so we don't know if there was an altercation that happened. Yeah. And that's what happened on the street over. And, you know, that's where the people were started following him. And so the lady that stopped, like, what was her involvement in it or nothing? Nothing, I think just saw commotion. Why would you even stop? You know, there's always, you would stop.

If you see commotion and you're like, I want to know what's going on. No. You don't ever stop when you see commotion. In my neighborhood, maybe. In my neighborhood, yeah, probably. You're driving. You see a dude just run up to another dude and he's like erratic. Yeah.

Yeah. And she was like, I don't know. I'm making sure everybody's okay. And I start running, right? So like, I'm standing out here and he runs. off and he had just yelled again to my boyfriend like people need help so I'm like okay so I start running because he's pointing to the park there's a park over there I just like take off and I start running to the park I'm like well somebody needs help why are you oh to see yeah I'm like well let me figure

out because this guy clearly isn't makes sense making us figure it out if somebody actually needs help we want to help and so I'm running and my that's when my boyfriend figures out on the phone that he's wanted for the connection Morgan get back over here he's like do not go there and I'm like what people need help he's like I don't think so it was just the craziest oh my gosh in the span of five minutes this all goes down that's crazy and we still don't know we don't know what happened with the wanted man

we don't know what actually went down there still could be a man when came on at did you guys not drive around or anything like I'm the king of driving around when there's something going on my neighborhood no I mean I was walking in the neighborhood so I would have thought that like if there was ambulance but nothing nothing came huh but you know to be fair

the wanted man label doesn't mean that he's like a murderer. No. That just means that they were looking for him for something. Something happened. Somebody had already called and said, hey, my whatever or this, this happened, and he's wearing this. Yeah. So it could just be as much as an altercation. Sure.

It could have been a fight. He could have like tried to steal something. Yes. It could be anything. But what is he talking about that? Somebody needs like help. I don't know. That's weird, man.

It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life. And it was like all in our front yard. You know, I've never had the feeling of that, like, somebody in trouble going through my yard and like that, because I've heard stories, I've seen stuff. I saw, like, a video, I think I talked about it on air. I saw a video on, like, Twitter or something of a guy just, like, not even like a quarter of a mile away from my house where the chopper video was showing these guys that stole a car. And they were jumping through everyone's backyard. And, like, I've always thought about, like, can you imagine you're just, like, in your living room? and you're like, what's somebody just run back in my backyard.

Yeah, like, who are you? Where'd you come from? So the other day, I would see like two weeks ago, there was a helicopter, like flying above my house, like in circles. And it was doing that for like 30 minutes. For sure looking for somebody. For sure looking for somebody because we have a lot of woods in our backyard. And so like, I'm ready to go. Like for the first time, I'm just like, lock all the doors.

Nobody go outside. And I'm standing by the door with like a gun. Like, I'm ready. Like as soon as that guy decides to jump in my back. backyard like I got him you're gonna do the citizens arrest yeah yeah yeah don't go anywhere call the cops honey oh see commotion dude that's crazy that's a crazy story yeah it was a crazy story yeah it was a wild moment so did you so question you saw your boyfriend in action and something something like um I don't know emergency situation yeah how do he how did he grade

oh he's he's like the most patient guy ever so a plus cool collected very much like I want to help you, but also like, let me figure out what's going on how I can help you. Yeah. And then also concerned for me because I was running. Yeah, you were running towards the, the problem, Morgan. Get your foot back over here. Yeah. So very protective, but also very like calm. And I'm like, I turned into erratic. I was like, something's going on. He's like, breathe. We're fine. We'll figure it out. Like, yeah. He's, he's a very patient man, which I need. So. Yes. Okay.
