On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more.

Where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions. What's up, friends? Happy weekend. Scoop of Steve, joining me. Yes, what's up?

It's Best Bits time. It is. Someone's calling me. Is that a scammer? Let's find out. Oh, boy. Sunshine State. This is the cleaning experts.

Did you know the EPA recommends you clean your air ducts at least once every three years? Press 3 now. To speak to one of our courteous... Don't press 3. She's hot to them? No. No, you don't think so? Well, they're talking to people from Florida.

The Sunshine expert did not get the call that you moved to Tennessee several years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Hang up on them. What do I press to not talk to them though? His hint. But he's still talking. Just in the...

How do I shut them up? But I want them to keep calling me, though. Hold on a 3. But what do you press to not talk to them? Just block the caller. He doesn't give you an option to not talk to them. Exactly. Just hit end it.

How do I not talk to you? Just hit end. It's zero. Oh, boy. Just hit end and block the call. Oh, now I press zero and it was supposed to go away. You're not listening on purpose. I know, but I said three to talk to them.

Zero wasn't the option. I figured zero was the one to go away. Hey, I saw the option for three to talk to you, but I pressed zero. I was hoping that was the option to not talk to you. But I guess it still talked to you. Oh, okay. You have to press nine. Yeah, press 9 to be removed from the list.

Sorry, your body. It's all good. There's nine. There's so much chaos. How do I get signed up for those crap? Probably. And this is what I went through. I went and like scrubbed my email of everything that I was attached and was like unsubscribe, unsubscribe.

You have to like go and manually unsubscribe from so many things. So I did that. And then I got part of a scam because then I had these emails of like these like, I won't say where they were from, but it was like these nasty. hateful emails. And I was like, I don't want to see this crap. I don't want to see this negative rhetoric of what's happening in our country. I don't want it. I don't want it. So I'd hit unsubscribe, but that unsubscribe was actually a malicious link. No.

That then hacked my Google account. And so for a whole month, I was dealing with all this crap of someone trying to, from somewhere in Richmond, Virginia, hacking my Google, calling me, like, I would get these fake calls from a Google number and it wasn't really Google. And it would say someone's trying to get in your account at Google over in Richmond and then I went and talked to the woman or the and then I got transferred to. I actually post this on my TikTok and Instagram of talking to the scammer and I talked him for a really long time and then eventually like you should really really if you haven't seen it. It's actually pretty good. I think I saw one clip of you doing it. You were like confronting the scammer. Yeah. I did it in three parts because then the third part was

when I actually talked to the guy and then he was like okay Mr. Stephen nice try. And I was like nice try what? And he was like nice try. You've been on the phone with me for 18 minutes. Da-da-da-da. he's like he's like you're wasting my time i was like no no wait a second here i was like you're wasting my time because you're a scammer he's like i'm not a scammer i'm trying to help you get your google account back yet i was like you do not work for google i was like where are you at in san francisco he's like i'm not and i went to this whole thing and i was just like this is such a bunch of but i found out when i talked to somebody who actually work at google he's like well the problem was we found that you clicked unsubscribe and that unsubscribe from that malicious

email then took your information i was like well how do you unsubscribe from these he's like you have to just keep deleting them He goes, you can't unsubscribe from some of these. It's such a crap. Hey, this is why you should go listen to Part 1 because we talked about how everything's a scam. Yeah, it is. It really is. I just kind of want to throw all this crap away and live off the grid.

Okay, we can do that. We can go hang out with my grandma. She does that. God, I would love to do that. All right. All right. She said, yes, my two faves are back. Everything is right again.

Apple Valley. What a girl? How you doing? And then we've got, yes, my faves. Scoobes from Michelle. Not Michelle. I was looking at Michelle and Apple Valley. Who's this from?

From Nicole. Nicole, sorry to go. Shout out. All right. How does it feel working in country music when you're more of a rock guy, Katie and Georgia? Yeah, I never. I mean, I don't mind country music because I listened to like little bits of it here and there growing up as a kid. But it wasn't like my, oh, I can't wait to go to a country show or I can't wait to get in the car and turn on a country radio station.

So for me, it was never a thing. Like I know you love country music and you grew up on it. It was like a whole thing for you. me was hip hop pop rock but i like everything though i don't i'm not a person that like is turned off by anything like i'll even listen to instrumentals or like beethoven and weird crap or like tv show theme songs like i like everything i'm the same way i'm all of it yeah i'm everywhere i'm i'm eclectic scream out that's where you get me i like scream on all that's like so i like everything i just of a list countries at the very very very very bottom and so for me it was

never when i took this job it wasn't about country i took this job because i took this job because of the show that what it was needing and I fulfilled or what do you what I'm looking for I fit in with what was needed for the show at the time. I'm a fixer. I like to come in and fix things and there were some systems that were in place that either didn't exist or needed some desperate help and needed some guidance and some some assistance for the nicest way to put it. And so I had to come in and help fix the problems that never that they just didn't they needed some. that came from somewhere else and could give the knowledge. Sorry, I'm so distracted by a ring.

It's a massive diamond. Why didn't you randomly throw that in? I haven't seen your ring and I look down. I'm like, holy crap, that's a freaking huge diamond. You haven't seen my ring? I've seen it like in a picture, but I don't think I've ever seen it like in person. Do you want to see it? Because you sit in another, he's sitting another studio and I sit in the glass box of Ray

and Abby. And so it's always far away. But like now you're like, you have your hand. Like it's almost like, look at my ring. I wasn't driving. It's huge. I was like, oh my God. I wanted to just over here existing.

Yeah. Well, I've seen Abby's because she's close to mine. And hers is like modest and like normal. And yours is like huge. I feel like mine's date tea on the band and stuff. Your hands small, but the ring is,

but the diamond's not. Everything, when we did go looking at rings, everything looked big on my hand because I have very little hands. So maybe perspective wise, that could be like a half carrot, but on your hand it looks like four carrots. No,

I think it's three carrots. Three. Hold on. I said four and you're like, no, no. I was thinking, like, oh, no, it's one. I'm like, it's three, which is basically four. You could be obashed one shy, but holy crap. That's a huge ring.

Yeah. It's funny. I wasn't. I literally was just sitting, I had to hold on because I fall down in chairs a lot. You fall down because you're hand weighs so much now because you got four carrots on your hand. Because I'm short and little. And like I crap, yo. Okay.

That's a really nice ring. Thank you. I completely forgot what I was talking about because that thing is like massive. Okay. You did. You are more of a rock guy, I guess. There it is. Oh my goodness.

Holy Christ. Anyone else reacted the way I had when they saw like, Jesus Christ, Morgan. No, I mean. It weighs more than you. He's pretty. He did really good. It's awesome. I think it's great.

You should never feel bad or bashful or weird about it. Like that's amazing. the fact that you got that that that's awesome we bought our ring at costco it was like a half a carrot but we were also like hella broke i was like 24 or 5 or whatever when i got it um that's a massive ring holy that's like jalo status jalo's for sure jails is like 20 carrots yeah i know but like in our world it's like perspective it's jalo status yeah no he did really good i really yeah he did so thrown off like whoa i kept looking at your hand i like jesus that's a huge ring Good for him, dude.

He's awesome. Like, how much did you spend? I don't know, like a whole year's salary. He had been saving for a while. I can tell. Yeah, he has. Yeah, he really has. He's been saving for a while.

Oh, my goodness. And Nita wants to know. How many radio shows are you on? Oh, man. Not as many carrots as Morgan has. Are you done? I didn't even bring up. anything about it. No, but you couldn't because like your

hand is like wafting around in the air. It's like It's not wafting. It's literally sitting on my laptop. Yeah, but like you can barely hold your hand up like it weighs so much. That is an awesome ring. Okay, sorry, sorry. I know I'm making you like a bashful. You shouldn't be embarrassed by it. You shouldn't be bashful. It's a awesome ring. It's not you. It's that everybody loves to have 80 million opinions on everything. Yeah. On the internet. My opinion is it's awesome. Thank you. It's amazing. You should be like, like, that's a nice ring. He did really good. Yeah, he did. Like, now how do you like, like, how do you like, like, pop that with the band like because usually like I feel like for like for us like the engagement ring

was like it was nice it was fine we got it at Costco who were we went to the actual Costco number one Kirkland Kirkland Kirkland Washington which is why everything's Kirkland oh god I did not realize that so it's in Kirkland Washington and we both were like massive she'd been going to Costco since she was like a child so like oh my god it'd be so cool and we're like she's like just buy me a ring at Costco because Costco also doesn't mark up their stuff when it comes to diamonds and jewelry they kind of are at where they should be

like almost like a dealer price and she's like just buy a whatever ring and then when we get married though I want really nice bands so the bands that I got are I got are two bands that go on each side the bands cost like way more than the actual

engagement ring which I'm sure at some point down the line when we're like older and have a ton of money like you and your boyfriend or a fiance will I'll upgrade her diamond in the middle. You're a bet.

One day when I'm you. That's not true. You also have how many kids? I have three kids. But back then I did know. But I also was like I was like I worked in San Francisco and I got paid nothing. I got paid like. Yeah.

You were also in your 20s. We're in our 30s. Exactly. Life's a lot different. I'll just give you a hard time. No, you're honestly like on the real real. Who cares that anyone says about it? If you like it, that's important.

If he's proud of giving that. you. That's another thing. And you guys are happy as a couple. It's like what anyone can say whatever they want. F them. They're not your relationship. They're not you. Who cares what they say and what they think? You like it. It makes you happy. I saw, even though I called it out, it's still, you still smiled because you know it's a nice ring. It is. It's really pretty. So screw anyone else and what they think and their idea of it because because you like it. And that's all that matters. But God, even when you hold it down, it's like a lizard hanging on your hand. It's so huge. You know it's funny though

I did tell him one simulation which is Which is why he was saving like early on I'm not shy about financial stuff Like my parents really like ingrained a lot of like Financial conversations in me But you should though Very much a resource I was thankful for And they like when we were early in dating

And even the conversation talking about marriage I was like it's very important to me that I do not go in debt For a wedding I do not go You don't go in debt for buying a ring like there Nothing is worth going into debt to me. That's always the case. So that was like my stipulation with with him whenever he was going to propose. If he wanted to propose, like as those real conversations started happening, especially when we were looking at rings, I was like, you're not going into debt to get me

something. That's not how this is going to work. Like, I don't want that. I want us to be happy. I want this to be something that you love, that you create that you think like symbolizes our relationship and the love that we have for each other. And if you go into debt, it's not worth it to me. At the end of the day, it isn't. And so he didn't. And unbeknownst to me, before we even went ring shopping, he was saving. And he was already planning for that to come. But that was a very, very big conversation we had because I just don't.

I'm still that way. Even like wedding planning, I don't want a big wedding. I want a small, I would elope if our parents wouldn't be angry. So I can't do that. Yeah, yeah. Are you traditionalists where like your dad pays for it kind of thing or how is that going to work? That's the other thing. It's like I've been saving because I don't want my parents to pay for it.

Okay, that's cool. I just don't. But I also just don't want to spend insane amounts of money anyway. So I want us to get married in the mountains very small, like maybe just a family only type ceremony and then have a party here or something. But I'm just not. None of that. Like I see people spending insane amounts of money and it blows my mind. Yeah, it really, yeah.

Like a friend of mine, he got married kind of like the mountains. It was Big Sur. So over there on the California coast. But it was only, it was like a really small, it was like 20, 30 people. It was like his like really, really, really good. friends and family and that was it and we all stayed in little cabins on in big sir rich point i forget what it was called but it was so cool and i mean it cost a little bit of money wasn't it wasn't cheap yeah but it also wasn't like a hundred thousand dollars if he would have invited his entire

group of friends and family and stuff yeah so yeah and it was beautiful and it was intimate it was in the mountains it was so cool and yeah yeah i recommend you do something that that you want to do not what society wants you to do. I know and it's hard. Heck, you even look at venues and it's $20,000. You're in a venue. Just the venue, yeah. And I just, that's insane to me. There's beautiful nature everywhere. What are we doing? Yeah. So, oh yeah. Now, anyways, I digress. Yes, yeah. Move on. How many radio are you on? Anita would like to know. I guess it's just Bobby's show and my show. That's it. Got your two shows. Whenever I do best bits. So three shows. Do you still do the weekend? Like, you were doing something on IHeart Radio for a while? Oh, the 90s? Yeah. That was afternoons and I Heart 90s.

Did you pick that back up? No, I stopped doing that because I was then focused on the rock thing. It was good to kind of like, it was like a way to get me back into doing solo radio. So it was great. It was fun. The music was so much fun. It was 90s, you know, pop, rock alternative. So it was a fun station.

It got my chops back going and doing radio again. But I did it for like six months and then maybe four or five months. I don't know. It wasn't that long. And then I started working towards this rock thing because of the higher nine. But I just don't have time to do multiple, you know, different kinds of shows. Yeah, two's enough. And I'm working on making that rock show, being other markets with just that. So that's the goal of taking that one show and expanding it into other places.

I believe in you. Yeah, thank you. Laura and Albuquerque wants to know. How did you come to be on the Bobby Bone Show? I came to be. So I was the shorthand version of it. I was in L.A. working with Ryan Seacrest. and one day I was at an event called wango tango,

which was local, but it was the first year it was national. And so one of my other jobs, I guess going back to the last question, not a show, but one of my other jobs as I go and do all of our company's tent pole events. So like alter ego is just there recently in LA,

it's like the rock show. We go to country fest because of where I'm at now. I do Fiesta Latina in Miami, which is like the Latin pop big show. We do the festival in Vegas, what else is there there's the iHeart awards that come up every year in l.A so i also am part of that broadcast team where we do the behind the scenes interviews and put that whole thing together um and so i was at wango tango and doing that was the first year it was a national show so i was working there

and working with Cicrest and i was talking to some people that i work with in management at premiere and i was like hey you know just i'm i think i'm you know i want a nut i'm looking for something else in the company like i love this job working with ryan's freaking amazing it's it's so surreal to have to have have Ryan Sechrest know who I am and like talk to me. I'm like oh my god, this is a freaking Ryan. It's Ryan Sechrest. But then eventually becomes like he's just Ryan. But it's still a little bit in your back of your mind.

Like oh my god, this is Ryan Sechrest talking to me right now. So I didn't I didn't want to think like I was ungrateful for the opportunity. But I was like I want like more responsibility. I wanted like the next step. I've always been that way in my career of like I want more. I want more. I want to keep moving up the ladder and and do whatever. And then also I just had our first kid and we're living in LA and we live in a townhouse

in the valley and there's no yard and I feel like guilty, you know, raising my kid without some sort of space and I knew I wanted more kids and I know I couldn't afford more kids in L.A. Just because the cost of living was so high. I got paid nice. I had a good salary. My wife had a good salary. She was working. The toughest part was she just got a cool job because I told her she left finance. And I was like, we live in L.A., dude. Get like a fun entertainment job. You know, we live here. I don't know how long we're going to live here for, but get like a cool, fun job. And so she went and applied for a job at Universal. And she worked with the executive that handled toys and branding,

which is the coolest one. So it's all like she got a lot of like the prototype toys of when they were coming out with business is back when Jurassic World was about to come out. So she'd come home with all these cool prototype toys. And she got to work on the Universal lot. Her boss. It was like a really cool experience. And I felt bad because like four or five months into it.

I was like, hey, so you know how we talked about like getting a new job? or a different job. She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, well, um, uh, I think I got it. And it's in Nashville. And she's like, oh, my God, Nashville. So we had to move. And I was like, yeah. And she just got this job and she liked her boss and her boss loved her. And I felt bad. I said, but I don't have to take it though, because I know you see, you like, you like, you like this and you seem really happy. And she's like, no, no, no, no. She's that we want to build a family and do more. Let's go for it. And even in that moment, they were like, it was either New York or Nashville. And I was, I'll take whatever. But New York would have maybe not been the best because it wouldn't

of check the family box you're in the city. I guess unless we move to Jersey or something, but I would have made it work. But then Nashville just seemed, I guess made more sense for us. And I was like, let's explore the Nashville one. Like, all right, cool, sweet. And they're like, it's a guy named Bobby Bones. I'm like, I don't, you don't really know. I was like, I just want to move somewhere. And they're, all right, cool, whatever. So then I came out here and I think you were here, right? Yeah. And I came to hear that one time. Yeah. I get, well, I first met them, I met somebody somewhere, I forget where, I think it was Bobby somewhere, and then I came out here and met you guys and then I hung out for like a day or two. And then I flew out. And then I saw

Bobby that festival of 2019 in September. He goes, I guess we're dating now. I was like, what? And I was like, and then I was like, oh, I guess. And then he's like, yeah, I think it's going to happen. I was all right, cool, sweet. And then I was all right, this is great. It was nice to me. That's how you found out. We should follow each other on Twitter. And I was like, okay. and so we follow each other on Twitter and that was how the relationship started that's funny so yeah it was like one of those things where I just

was looking for something else and looking for more of a challenge and they explained what the show needed and I was like oh it's a fun challenge I want to be able to come in there and work on that and do that and Nashville I never knew anything about it I spent less than 48 hours here

and I'm like this is pretty cool it's a smaller city but it seems like it's up and coming and I was like this is I could see myself living out here cost of living was way cheaper than L.A. So it just made sense and so yeah we moved out here And here we are six years later.

Now you're still here. Well, speaking of before, we're going to do this quickly before we go into the break. All right. What do you miss about California, Vanessa from Monterey? Monterey. You live in Monterey. You know why I miss California.

If it's the Monterey, I'm thinking, right? Is it Monterey California? Yeah, I assume. She just says Monterey. Well, you know, what's her name, Melissa? Vanessa. Vanessa. Sorry, Melissa's from Apple Valley.

Yeah. Michelle. Oh, my God. Also a NIM. A long, long week. Vanessa, you know why I miss California. But for everyone else who doesn't know why I miss it, because she lives in Friggin' Monterey.

Like, she knows why I miss California. The place is beautiful. You're right on the ocean. Like, that's the biggest thing is the ocean. Yeah. I miss the ocean. I miss being near my wife's family because we had help, which was nice because we have, you know,

having kids takes a village. And right now we're all by ourselves. So if I did a top three, it'd be, I was to a top four. Ocean. Being near family. recreational marijuana and access to like everything like you can do and see anything and everything in California whereas most states don't have the luxury for of the restaurants theme parks

entertainment I mean the venue like everything about California it's just awesome there's so much to do and see there no I'd love to live there someday I think yeah it's all I recommend it San Francisco, L.A. and everything in between. It's awesome. Okay. We're going to take a quick break. We're back for more questions. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. 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 him all. Yeah. On the senior show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption. On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon Danny Trail to talk about addiction, transformation, and the power of second chances. The entire season two is now available to binge featuring powerful conversations with the guests like Tiffany Addish, Johnny Knoxville, and more. I'm an alcoholic. And without this true, I'm going to die.

Open your free I-Heart radio app. Search the Cino Show. And listen now. 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 see 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 community striving. 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. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

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

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You meet the president? You think Canada has a president.

You think China has a president. The law a rousette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. It was a good one.

It is an actual Polish saying. It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually thought it was.

I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Mark and Tampa just got Universal Studios, I-OA passes. I don't know why. Islands of Adventure. Okay. What are the top three rides and a restaurant there? Islands of Adventure.

So I don't know if they had passes just for the specific park, though. I thought it was like all of them. It looks like he got it for Universal Studios slot. He said Universal Studios slash Iowa, so he must have got Universal. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I think the epic isn't part of the annual passes yet. I think it's becoming next year or with this year.

I can't remember when they announced it, but it is in the next year or so. Okay. So I'll tell you, if he's only looking for favorite rides at I guess I can give you my top three rides at Iowa and Universal Studios. Okay. So, because I used to have an annual pass when I lived in Orlando, it was $10 a month when I had it. I'm sure he's paying way more than that now. Yeah, a lot more. Yeah, a lot more.

That was 2009, 2010. Actually, no, 2007. Holy crap. My top three rides, I-O-A, one of them doesn't exist anymore. It was Dealing Dragons. Well, you can't tell them that one because it doesn't exist. But now it exists at Epic. You said that there's that one ride.

Star Dust Racers. Okay, yes. So, yeah, that was my favorite ride with Dealing Dragons. It was the coolest thing ever. Your feet were dangling. And I would always, I wore sandals all the time back then. So it was the coolest thing ever because I took my sandals off. I sat on my sandals and now I'm barefoot riding a ride.

It was like so liberating to be barefoot on a roller coaster. Okay. So I love that ride. I also love my second favorite would have to probably be Hulk. Oh, I love Hulk. Do you write that one where it shoots you off?

You thought, you think I wrote a roller coaster like that when I don't like roller coasters? You should just just do it. No, one, I would vomit. Two, I'd cry. Three, I'd probably get vertigo again. Okay. All three, no reasons.

Okay, all right. So Hulk was number two for me. It was the best part ever. You get in that tunnel. I was like, I think it's going to work. warning warning no no and all of a sudden it would just you're out of the tunnel and you're rolling around and it was so much fun did you do you like Veloccoaster

I had never written it it wasn't I ever when I lived there Veloccoaster's going to change your life when you're right it so you wrote Veloccoaster? I didn't it's all everybody who I've gone with it's their favorite one okay because it's insane that looks looks really cool I haven't written it yet I have plans to I had plans to go I will be going end of March beginning of April. Okay.

Yeah, then you have to, then you have to ride Veloccoaster. Okay. I mean, my fiancee wrote it five times in a row. Oh, wow. Okay, damn. Because he could go by himself because I wouldn't go.

So he'd just go the individual rider line. He'd get off and I'm like, I'm still chilling. Go for it. Okay. And he just went back up and did it again. And he came down so geeked out. And he's like, I was like, still chilling. Go for it again, dude.

Okay. Yeah, I can't wait to ride that one. And then so my number three, man, man, it's tough because I really like, I like Jurassic Park because it has that fun 90 foot drop or 60 foot drop, whatever it is in the end. Did you write that one? Mm-mm.

But now it's Jurassic World, so I need to see it now because it's different. But I think my third favorite at ILAWA has got to be Dudley Doer Rites, Ripsaw Falls. Did you write that? It's the water ride. No, I never rode to any of the water ones. Oh, okay. At Universal. We did at Disney, but we didn't at Universal.

That was an Island's Adventure, though. Yeah, and we didn't. Universal in general underwater rides. Okay. That one's a fun one. That's the one. It's almost like Splash Mountain, their version of it. Yeah.

Because at the end it has like, you get out and it's like, whoa, and a big drop at the end. You go down and you get soaked the whole time. We used to ride that during Halloween Hornites because no one would ride that because it's nighttime and you get soaked and no one wants to get soaked at the park. But we had frequent fear passes, which basically was an annual pass for Halloween Hornites. So we'd go like three times a week. And then we'd go there one day just to ride that. So we went there knowing we were going to get wet and we'd ride it over and over and over. Then you can plan for it.

That makes that a lot more fun too. Yeah. Yeah, we know that's what we're doing. Then when we leave, we don't care because we're going to go back. of my truck soaked and it doesn't matter because we know that's what we're doing. And every one time we wrote it over and over and over and over and over and I had to pee. And, uh, and so, did you just pee? I had to pee. And, and we were, it was like our seventh or eighth time riding it.

And no one else had to pee. I was like, dude, I got to pee. And they're like, like, well, we don't. We're going to ride it again because it was like a zero minute wait. We're running back on to go ride. And I was like, well, I really have to go. And it's, and it's a ride where you're, it's a, it's a, it's a log ride. And so it's like, I think it's like four people on a ride. and I was in the back. And so it was me in the back, my friend Lee in front of me, and then Drew and Brent. And so I was like, I had to pee and I couldn't hold it anymore. And I'm like, well, we are so wet right now.

There's no. There's no way that they're going to know that it's either my pee or the water from around the ride splashing you. So I remember we were going down the big drop and I was like, all right, I just let it go. And I sat back and I peed all over Lee. No, you did not. I did. And we wrote like three or four more times. Which I was like, let's write it some more times.

I thought you had to go pee. I was like, no, no, I'm good. But I want to ride it more time so I can like, so I could, so I could claim me because I just peed. Super. I forgot about that. That's bad. That's bad.

That's a bad one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He probably thought all those years ago that he smelled pee and he just was like crazy or something. The water's hot. That's right. It's been cold the whole time. Yeah, what the hell's happening here?

What was that? Yeah, really weird. And then my favorite spot to eat in there was a place right. you walk into islands of adventure, you get to, so you walk straight in and you get to like that tea in the row where you can go to the left, which takes you to Marvel Universe where it's got Hulk and all that, or you can go to the right and it goes to Dr. Seussland and all out over there. Oh, yeah. So walking through Dr. Seussland, when I was at Universal, it was pouring rain and I had ran

because my family was riding the roller coasters and I didn't want to. So I ran to go to Spider-Man because I wanted to do Spider-Man. Yeah. That's a fun right, too. It is. I love to Spider-Man. And I got out of there and it was pouring down rain. So it was like a zombie apocalypse.

Nobody was there. They were running around. And I was in Dr. Seussland and I didn't. This is my first time ever in the park. I was trying to get back to my family in the pouring rain. And I was in Dr. Seasland. I thought I was on drugs. Oh, yeah, because it's trippy.

Oh, it was so trippy. And it was raining and nobody was around and I had no idea where I was going. I got lost in Dr. Zuseland like three times just doing the same lap. And I was like, what is going on? I want to get out of it feels like Groundhog Day. It literally was. So that's my memory of Dr. Seuss World.

It's a cool spot. And even during Hollywood Hornites because the way they light things in there, it's so trippy and so cool. But right before you walk into there, on the right hand side, there's a place called something can'tina. It's like a hidden gym. Like, no one ever, even though it's right there in the main walkway, I felt like nobody ever went in there. And it was the best place to go, especially for a drink, because they have a bar right there and you can grab a drink and you can sit there and watch Hulk and see all that stuff. I think it's really cool. I like that one.

Not the best food, but it's a great, it's okay food. But it was the atmosphere and the drinks and the exes. ability to get to a bar right there and watch the park. I think it's kind of cool. Okay. So like that. I like those. And then, so for you, what were your top three? I want to venture. Well, and I'll just put them all into one. Okay.

But definitely the, what was it called? Motorbike, Hagridz. Oh, Haggars. I never ridden that either. That's new. Yes. Hagrid's, you'll love. That's definitely my number one. And I would say then Harry Potter, the Escape at Greengots

is number two. Okay, I'm in a very Harry Potter. I can tell. I can tell. Like, just go spend the whole day there. And then three, I think my third one was what? What was that place? And why can't I think of it now? I really do like Spider-Man. No, Transformers. Oh, Transformers. That wasn't there either when I was there, I was there. That wasn't there either when I was there. I don't think. Yeah, it's like a 3D ride. Just like Spider-Man, right? Yes. Same kind of concept. And I freaking love Transformers. So I was geeky now and there and I got to meet Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Well, they have a Transformers at the one in L.A. And I've been on that. one. Okay. It's the same thing where you're in the car with the glasses, screens, things like... And you're getting like thrown around. Yeah, and water and the whole 40 effect. Yes. That one's fun. Okay. Yeah. So I'd say that's my third one. And then I do honorable mention the Jurassic coaster because everybody loves it. I can't see from experience, but you have to ride it. If you're a, if you got passes, you have to do it. Um, okay. And then restaurant wise, I love three broomsticks in Harry Potter. They have a bomb breakfast thing. Uh-huh. Which you can't normally find breakfast in the

park, but we did there. Okay. And that one was really cool. And then I think that's about it. Because I'm definitely more a Disney food girl than I am a Universal food girl. Yeah. Universal has stepped it up a little bit recently with their food. I know back when I was living there, it was like Universal wasn't, you didn't go there for the food. You went there to drink and ride rides.

Yep. And Disney was like the food. It was the foodie. Exactly. The theme of it and everything. Speaking of, Janelle and Florida wants to know the theme park, what do you want to visit? You've never been to before. I've never been to before.

before I get to her, my top three of Universal, I'll go really fast. Oh, yeah. I thought, I thought you put them all together. I, sorry. I divided it because you can't put them together. The fact you put them together is blasphemy. You have to separate the two parks. Sorry.

Yeah, yeah, okay. So the universal, the main universal, I'm going to go mostly old school. Number one is E.T. Oh, my God. It is so cool. And I hope they never, ever, ever change it. You can't. You just can't touch that one.

That one's amazing. I love E.T. I love Men in Black as number two. Men in Black is so badass because it's such a fun, like, shooting ride, and I've great memories of it. Men in Black is so much fun. And when he says, don't touch the red button, touch the red button. I touch the red button. Because then you get a million points or 100,000 points, or whatever it is.

So definitely touch the red button. That's a little hack there for you. And the other hack is definitely make sure you shoot the things on top of the other person's ride. So you'll notice on your car in every car around you, at the very top there's like this almost like a Q-tip looking thing. It's got like a rod and like a circle on top. and there's a red circle that like flashes. And if you shoot that, you get a lot of different points. And when you shoot their car and you hit it right in the middle,

their car spins around and does 360s, which is kind of cool. That's funny. Okay. And then my third favorite at Universal, man, it's got to be Mummy. Mummy is so awesome. You didn't choose a single Harry Potter ride? No. Harry Potter wasn't there when I went to a Universal.

Really? Harry Potter didn't exist. Harry Potter was just coming out as a movie for the first time ever when I went to Universal growing up. You're going to have a wildly life-changing experience because you like Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter, yeah. You're going to, it's going to change your, after you have visited again, I'm going to need your updated list. Okay, all right.

Yeah, I'll let you know come after April. I'll have some information. And then the best food at Universal, man, I think the pizza spot, so it's over there where they did a lot of filming. All that was filmed, like the whole, all that intro was filmed in like that city looking area by Mummy. There's a pizza spot. If you're looking at Mummy to the right, there's a pizza joint. And that pizza, from what I remember, was like the best pizza, like, ever. It was so freaking delicious.

Okay. So good. Okay. Now to Janelle. Okay, next question. What theme park would you want to visit that you've never been to before? I'd never been to before. I really want to go to, I've seen it on Instagram only.

It's the Warner Brothers Park over in Dubai. It's all indoors, which is like so intriguing to me that it's an indoor theme park. So I would say that would be number one in the list. But it's like tied with the one inside Mall of America, the Nickelodeon, Yeah, you've wanted to go there for a while. For a since I was a kid. So I think it's between the Warner Brothers in Dubai and Nick Universe at Mall of America would be the two I haven't been to that I want to check out.

Well, one of those is going to be really easy for you to get to. Yeah, the Mall of America. Yeah. Yeah. Dubai, it's a little bit of a hike. It's going to take you a while. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And it's a hell of expensive.

One of them, you can get there pretty quickly. You can just pop on a little flight this weekend and go. I could, but I have a family to attend. That's true. Bring them with you. I can't just get up and go. But then it costs more money. I can't do that.

It's true I want to go to Disney in Japan That's my That'd be cool Yeah that'd be fun to see Like the Disney's across the world Yeah The Japan one looks crazy

Yeah and they're adding The zoo-topia land there I think right Looks so freaking cool I just want to go to Japan Yeah that'd be And it's cheaper there I think it's like 50 bucks to get in My friend just went there

He did a whole Japan trip by himself And he spent like a couple thousand bucks With flight transportation While he's there food The tickets to Japan for the Disneyland there. It was like nothing. It was like 50, 55 dollars. Everything that you buy there is also affordable.

I was like, why is it that there but not here? Right. I don't understand that. Okay. Well, we're going to end because I had some more questions, but we went on a little tangent earlier. We went through a few tangents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ring tangent.

Oh my goodness. Okay. Well, Scova, thanks for coming on. Hanging out with us. I appreciate it. Not thank you for all the comments. I'm sure I'm about to get online. Screw. F them, as my dad would say. Oh, yeah, something like that. Okay.

You can find Scoop of Steve at Scoop Steve Radio. Pretty much everywhere. Well, not pretty much everywhere because I'm not on MySpace anymore. You're on Twitter. I'm on Twitter. You're right, yeah. You're on TikTok and you're on Instagram. I'm not on Snapchat.

I'm not on Be Real. You're not on Facebook. Is Be Real still a thing? No. Okay. It might still exist, but a thing and the fact that a lot of people use it. No. Yeah.

Everyone's like, it's going to be the next. greatest thing. I was like, this seems a lot like every other platform where you're just taking pictures of stuff. Listen, it's always this is going to be a thing until it's not. So, and it did have a moment. I had a moment there for a while. And I think, I do think it still exists and I think there's college kids

that use it. Really? That's really where it's at. Oh, wow. That's weird. Also, Snapchat has kind of had a little comeback too, so I don't know if they're competing or what that looks like. I mean, I speak to some college kids. Yeah, yeah, it's like way down the totem pole. Yeah. No one cares about it.
