In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins. But the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax. You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Ellen's, correct?

I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Gillespie and Michael Manchini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. Laura, Scottsdale Police.

As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Vodam. My next guest is. It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah.

It would not be. Right. It wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks, Dad. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're back with Sunday sampler, clips from the podcast. I talked to George Burge about pressure to get a second number one song because you're like,

oh, we got a number one, it's all good. But like, what's the difference? Soar losers, Amy Brown, there's a lot. But I will tell you this, in the vet's office with Dr. Josie is back. Season two kicked off, celebrity hair colorist Justin Anderson, who you may know him from Very Cavalry. They had a crazy conversation about a dog owner. who wanted to get their dog nudicals, which are implants, like not get neutered and then put fake ones in.

I had heard that was a thing, but I didn't think it was real. So in the vets office, if you like this, there's also so much great information about animals. Like, go check it out, In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie, but here's a clip. You're listening to In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie Horchak. We can ask you questions. I'm not that smart about dogs, but like, um, Why do you have to neuter male dogs? So they can't get girls pregnant?

Yes. A, we don't want to be, I don't want to be a grandparent just yet. And then, B, they, a lot of, like, behavioral issues, like, getting into fights, marking. And then really the big thing is they get prostateic disease if they're not neutered and certain kinds of cancers. So that's like, that's the big one. Okay. Yeah. The downside to it is they can get, like, they're more likely to get fat. Oh, really?

Because they don't have all that testosterone in their system. And so. Wait, so if they take. the balls up, they're likely to get fat. They're more likely to put on weight. Oh. But I'd rather have like a little, like a muffin top on my dog than them getting cancer. Kevin's getting chunky.

He's getting chunky right now. He's getting big, but I love him bigger. Well, that's another question I wanted to ask you. You have to really monitor their weight, right? Especially when they're smaller dogs. Yeah, it's, I mean, any dog, it's important. And how old is Kevin? He's four years old.

It's like human years. Very classic. Oh, you're 28. And four years. You'll have his 30th birthday soon. It's so exciting. We can't wait, actually. He was like an insane teenager.

I can't wait until he's in his 30s. We're so excited for his 30s. It's really classic that once they're neutered and then they hit true adulthood, like three, four, five, they start to pack on the LBs. Okay. Their metabolism is so exactly. Oh my gosh. This is so wild.

Yes. So we really like a lot of times when my patients come in around like four years old, I'm like, whoa, we got to like get you on Weight Watchers. Okay. So then that's where he's at. Yes. Because we took him recently to our vet and she was like he put a little bit of weight on. And I was like, we're not going back to her.

She's rude. How dare she? Is she body shame him? Yeah, because if it was up to me, I would have him be like a little chunker. I love when he's like bigger, but it's not healthy for them, right? Yeah. I mean, a little, like, he, I'm looking at him and he is not obese by any stretch of the imagination. So if he was like morbidly obese, I'd be like, listen, Justin, I don't care what you like.

We have to have him lose weight. But like a little, like cushion is fine. Yeah. Well, in his defense, too, a lot of that is fur. He's actually a lot smaller than that. Yeah. But I can feel his body's getting thicker. Well, and does he get.

He's older. He's kind of like every, all the guys in my family, we get like barrel chested as we get older. Like our chest area gets bigger. And that's kind of what's happening to him. Like his body area is just getting really thick. Big balls and barrel chest. Yeah, he's a big boy. Oh, my God. I love him so much. I never want him to die. Oh my gosh. We talk about this a lot. It's called anticipatory grief. Where you think about them dying. Just the other night we were laying in bed and I just started crying out of nowhere because I was like holding him and like cutting with him and scoot can't deal with my emotions because I'm like really up and down. But he was like, what are you? What are you? You're like, what are you? crying about right now and I'm like I'm just thinking about when we don't have them anymore and I like I want to lose my shit to be honest that's why I never really wanted a dog as an adult because I'm like really afraid of death like it freaks me out when I'm attached to somebody so I think about it is you can spiral I totally get it like I think about it like I just driving in the car I'll think about it I just start crying it's awful yeah you just have to think like well A we get them to bring joy into our lives which they do so I try to like 90% of it should be focusing on the joy but think of all the wonderful years that you got you got you you know, that you have and still have with him. And all of that is worth the heartbreak that you'll have after. Yeah, he's going to be stuffed for sure and put like next to my bed for the rest of my life. Yeah. No, like for real. He's going to be right there.

Like, oh, well, then I was telling Scoot, too. I was like, I wish we could plan it out where we all win at the same time, you know. Yeah. And then sometimes I have morbid thoughts. I'm like, should we just, should we all just go now? Romeo and Juliet. As your vet, I don't advise that. No, I'm totally kidding, but not really.

I completely understand, though. And then I've had a pet pass away And I was like, I'm never getting another dog Oh my God, I can't do it I can't even think about how I'm gonna be Like it's really gonna be a huge issue It is, it's yeah Like that would be hard

Sugarcoat it No, I know harder than probably anybody in my life You know, because a lot of times with like, I don't know, no humans are big deal to one of us No, I have clients all the time say to me When their pets pass away Like I didn't cry this much when my mom died Right

I didn't cry this much when my grandma died Like this is but your mom and your grandma Like aren't getting into bed sleeping with you every single night That's the thing we're so attached I mean, like, even like him, he literally sleeps, like, kind of wrapped around my head and he, like, put his mouth right by my ear. And so, like, I sleep to the sound of his, like, little breathing in my ear. And, like, the thought of that not being there, oh, my God, I'll start stopping right now. But I also.

I saw something on social media recently where they were talking about, like, they're trying to work on these things that, like, prolong dog's lives. Do you think that's kind of gross and weird? Or do you think they should do that? Like, the NAD stuff, were you reading out? Yeah, they're saying, like, no, I don't think it's, I mean, I think it depends on what it is. Why can't dogs? Absolutely. And we already know our dogs are living a lot longer than they were even in the 80s and 90s.

Because of diet and stuff? I think food, like preventative care. We're taking care of their teeth. Like all these things that are better for overall health. Like we do everything to try and keep them really healthy. So when I first came out of practice, I lived in Boys Town in Chicago. Oh my God, Boys Town is fun. The best.

It's the best gay area in America. In America. I love it. Take me back there. Shout out to all the gays in Boys Town. I love you. And I was convinced. that in my next life, I needed to come back as a pet to double dog dads.

Oh, there's nothing better. I totally understand why. Our dogs live the life. It's so funny because, like, they've never been alone. Like, if we go to dinner for, like, two hours, they have a babysitter. Or they're, like, with Coke, our neighbor who's, like, their second mom. They are so well taken care. I would want to be a gay guy's dog for sure.

Have you always, have you had pets growing up? Have you always loved animals? So we always had pets growing up. We always had golden retrievers, like, big dogs. I feel like that's such the Mormon dog. I'm like from a big Mormon family. So we always had like gold. Very blonde.

Yeah. Everyone was blonde. It was just like our thing. Like whatever. Um, but as we got older, I love like little dogs. Like I want the gayest dogs in the world.

I secretly want like those shih Tzu's and I want to put like bows in their hair and like have them blown out and stuff. But Scoot was like absolutely not. Um, so I've always loved, um, dogs. But these are my first ones as,

um, an adult. I have always had big dogs and I now have biggie who the audience knows. he's a terror, but he's small, and I don't think I'm ever going back to big dogs. No, I love them. No, I love it. Just like holding them. Yes.

I need, like, a little bit of girth on their body. Like, Kevin, like, I like how he's got that little thick body and the same thing with Clark. Like, I couldn't do like a chihuahua. You know, like, I'm a real, like, cuddler. Like, I, like, hold them tight and stuff. Yeah, you want him sick. Oh, but I know how to do it, too. Sometimes they say, I read this thing the other day on Instagram.

I'm on Instagram too much. But they were saying, like, a study came out that said dogs don't like to be held or cuddled. and I'm like, you need to calm down. Because our dogs, like, climb into our arms and want us to hold them. But I feel like you have to train them to want to do that. Because if you hold the dog and they don't want it and you hold on to them and they start to freak out and you don't let go, that would like create like a, it feels unsafe to them. For sure, they feel trapped. So from a young, because I like read all this stuff, but from when they were really little puppies, like you hold them very gentle.

If they start to squirm, you let them go. You know, so they know that it's like a safe space, right? Like you're not trying to like. Exactly. Yeah. And these specifically, Kevin's a Cavashon, right? Yeah. So, Cavaliers were bred to be lap dogs for the queen, I think.

He's so royal. He's so royal. And so this specific. And then Bichon's, they say that they're like a Velcro dog. Correct. Like Kevin is attached. If I even shut the bathroom to like our little toilet area, like he'll just sit there. Like he's like sniffing under the door.

Like he has to be with us. Like maybe borderline separation anxiety? Bad. Like really bad. Okay. What has been the difference with this song being a success? Are people treating you different? Is your pay going up?

Like what has changed in the past year with the second song that's about to be a hit? I think everything. I think with every number one you have, and I'll tell you guys, if I stack four or five together and I start to feel differently. But I feel like with every number one you have, like everything just feels like it doubles in size. Like the way people treat you,

the way that you're getting paid for shows, I've been able to hire a couple new people in my crew for more support. And like I've had crowds start getting bigger even still than they were just for Mind on You. And then for me, like as an artist, I was over the moon excited when Mind on You went number one. But at the same time, I was also kind of like, oh crap, like I have to follow this up, right? Like there's eyes on me now. Like there's pressure on me now. Before it was like, okay, this is a wild shot.

I'm just swinging for the fences and hope I hit something. And now it's like, all right, I have a standard. and I have to kind of match that. And so when I wrote Cowboy songs, I knew that that was like the magic one. That was going to be the next single. But I'm starting to feel that again, like, okay, what's number three going to be? How are we going to back this up? And it's a really exciting problem to have, but it's wild to feel that pressure constantly.

I'm like, okay, what's next? New music. How am I going to grow as an artist? How am I going to keep connecting with fans? So it's been really exciting that, and we get a lot of free stuff. So it's something I never got before. It is a really cool part of it. And I can tell you just from like my experience and my weird baptism into having like a little bit of fame for a minute and then not really, then a

little bit more. And whenever, because it's, it doesn't exist forever. It's not real. It doesn't last. People are fickle. But when you are the shiny penny, people do treat you way different. It's, of course you get a bunch of free stuff. People are offering to send you places. You're getting free clothes. Hey, we'll dress you for this stuff. And, you know, once I started to like have some success and have some money, people, that's when everybody started offering me the free stuff. And I was like, no, I can kind of afford it now. It was weird. It was like, I actually can afford it. I don't really need it as much now. But I have been to the point too where it's like really good. And then it's trickled away. And I've been the same exact person with the same

exact people. And they treat you, even in this town, like people treat you a bit different. Whenever you have a hit and you're about to have a second hit, how about rights? Do you get people willing to write with you a lot easier? That's been the wildest part for me, I think, you know. And look, like every writer only has so much creative juice, only has so much energy to put into stuff. So, like, they want to chase the stuff that they think they can potentially have hits on. So you can never blame anybody from coming out of the woodwork and, like, trying to jump

on a project. But, you know, I went from having my small circle that I write songs with and that I knew I write well with to my phone blowing up every single, I mean, every single day. not an exaggeration. I will wake up to four songs in my inbox or text messages, being like, hey, man, I think this is a hit for you. Hey, man, I think this is hit for people I hadn't heard from in years or people I've never met or, hey, I got your number from so-and-so sending you a song. It's the most flattering thing in the world, but it's also like you can so easily get lost being like, oh, well, maybe I need to chase this direction, or maybe I need to grow and do this

and kind of get away from what brought you to the dance or the reason that you started to have success in the first place. And so that's been something I've been trying to navigate and I've been really blessed to have, you know, my original group of friends that I wrote with, like, continue to write with me and know who I am and what I want to say. And, you know, we do add some different people to the room and try to add a different dynamic. But it is, there is so much noise that starts to come. And like, if you don't have a really good foundation, like knowing who you are, knowing who your friends are, knowing what real relationships are, like people that genuinely have cared about you before you had something for them to benefit from versus people that will be

gone the day that your success is gone. And that's the kind of the thing. that you have to learn how to balance. And like our business managers, you know, when you get into this industry and you sit down and you're like, holy crap, I made money, like real money for the first time this year, like in my life. And you kind of can get delusional and think that that'll last forever too. And your business manager will tell you, like in this industry, like you're going to make 90% of the money for the rest of your life in a five-year window. And if you're lucky, really lucky, you might have a 10-year window. But that's it. Like it burns hot and fast and it's gone.

And so I know it's not forever. I had a blessed life before this stuff took off and I know I'll have a blessed life after it takes off with just having real friends and people around me. And I'm just trying to have fun while I'm in the window while I'm in the pocket. I elaborate on that because I think that's that's pretty profound. I've had people say it to me as well. It's like, hey, you have a few years to make most of what you're going to make. So does that mean, and are you conscious of like saving a lot now? Or are you reinvesting most of?

Like, what are you doing? Yeah, saving and reinvesting. What I'm trying not to do is like spend it on watches and cars. You know what I mean? Like put it away to where like I can do something with it down the road because, you know, and I know what it's like to have not had money before too. And so it's it doesn't change much. And it's just like I'm trying to put it away for a rainy day because I know it's not going to come like this forever.

And so when that, I mean, look, we're in the entertainment industry. You know, you're the new hot thing for a little while and that excites people. but, you know, that doesn't last forever. And there's always a newer, fresher thing coming on. And I'm going to try to keep making authentic music and connected with my fans. And I've been really lucky to have that connection so far. And I think I've got some fans that will stay with me for a long time. But you never know when that turns off.

And so you try to give yourself a little safety net, a little egg that, you know, when that does turn off, that you'll have somebody to fall back on at the end. What's a week look like for you, generally speaking? I work seven days a week for the most part. Now, towards the end of the year, like, and I call it work. it's my favorite thing in the world to do. That's what I would be doing if it wasn't my job. But I'm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. And usually I'll get up, I'll work out,

and then I'll have a write, usually from 11 to 3. I'll write a song. I'll go into town to Music Row, a producer's studio, and then one of my favorite writers will come in and, you know, three or four of us in a room, and we'll try to catch magic. It's just like going fishing.

You know, you wet a line every day. Most days you don't catch anything, you catch something small, but you hope, you know, every couple of months you might catch something worth hanging on the wall. And that's kind of what we do Monday through Wednesday. We go fishing for a hit song. And then Wednesday night, you know, come home, hang with the family. And then we have what's called bus call where you go meet in a Walmart parking lot.

Everybody parks their trucks. And you get on the bus and the bus leaves about midnight and you wake up in the city that you're playing on Thursday morning. You play Thursday, Friday, Saturday on the road. And then you wake up back in a Walmart parking lot on Sunday and do it again next week. A roll for your soul things. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful things. Laugh a little more things. Tighten up your core thing. Said EK. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown. So most of us are glued to our phones for a lot of the day. And studies show that 62% of us feel hooked. And it's not hard to see why. I mean, we're constantly scrolling, swiping, checking notifications. There's emails, text messages, DMs, Instagram,

TikTok, which, speaking of texts and TikTok, since I'm about to challenge us to be on our phones less, I'll go ahead and save you some screen time and play you a video that my friend Claire sent me that comedian Dene Hayes put up. It just made me laugh. Like I was about to sit down and record this and I got that and I sort of laughed so I'm throwing it in here. Because there's also a little reminder about our bodies in the humor, which I loved the Four Things episode with Deney from last year. She came on the podcast. If you missed it, I will link it in the show notes. But she's so funny.

And this clip reminds me how funny she is. Okay, here it is. Yes, I will tell you the procedure I had done to lose all this weight. But I just want to go and tell you it's very painful. It costs a lot of money. and it takes a lot of time. Like it's really time consuming. But if you look it up, it's called a divorce.

Okay, so while I did find that to be funny and relatable, the reminder in the humor here is that you never know what someone has going on in their life. So that's why we don't ask or comment about people's bodies. And while Deney didn't really seem to care that someone was asking about how she slimmed down and lost weight, She made a joke about it, and others may laugh and joke about it too, but deep down they may not be able to handle it because the reason for the weight loss or even weight gain or whatever it is might be because of something sad, something hard, stressful, you know? So just wanted to throw that little reminder in there and also give you a little chuckle in case you needed it. Or maybe you're going through something hard like a divorce and you're like, oh, okay, you're not alone. But back to our phone problem.

I have a mini challenge for you. For us, a phone-free hour each day. Just one hour where you put the phone aside and really experience life distraction-free. You could choose any hour to do it, maybe while working out or reading a book or going for a walk. It's a small change, but I think the results will end up being pretty big. like without a screen just stealing our attention, we're more present, engaged. And honestly, when I put my phone away, it just feels refreshing. I mean, this is like a mini digital detox that we can do together. It's not some extreme thing required here. It's just a small realistic

situation, which coming up in the second thing, we're going to talk about the power of small wins. and that's sort of what this little hour a day will be, a little small wind that will add up and be pretty powerful. And one way to go about this challenge, maybe would be to create a phone-free zone of sorts, like your bed. Maybe if you just don't allow yourself to have your phone in your bed, then that'll give you back some time.

Because studies show that when we leave the screens out of the bedroom, our brains get the memo. it's time to rest. I was just talking about this with my daughter, doing her homework in her bed with her computer. I'm like, no, let's go downstairs to either the island, the kitchen table, the dining room table, let's sit at a table and do our homework or at a desk. Because when we work in our bed, then our brain gets confused as to what is happening. And we want our brain to get the memo to rest when we're in our beds. And hey, I'm guilty of having my computer. and my phone in my bed. So I got to practice what I preach. But lately I feel like because of the

amount of homework even happening in our home, even when we're around the table and we're eating dinner, we've got our phones and our computers out just to get everything done. And I have my computer out during their homework because honestly, I have to Google how to help them with certain things like math. But today I sort of, I've just had enough. And I'm like, I want real connection. I want to sit down. I want to have dinner. I want to be, you know, no phones. So that's That's something that I decided to do today. Hopefully I can maybe do it again tomorrow and I'm being realistic. It's not going to happen every day at dinner. Honestly, junior high high school days, like multiple kids, there aren't enough hours in the night with all they have going on.

But we got to make sure we're intentional about that real time, that real connection with our kids. And maybe it's not kids. Maybe it's your partner, maybe your roommates, whatever it looks like for you. just when you're around the table, maybe that's a no phone zone. Your bed, no phone zone. And again, not every single night. And then maybe your hour doesn't have to be consecutive. It could be a 30-minute phone-free situation and then later on 30, or you do 15, 15, 15, 15. And that'll give you your hour.

Let's just start with that hour every day. and I think taking a dedicated hour away from our devices is going to allow us to just be present and in the moment, which can, for one, help with the connection in our relationships. For two, that improves our overall well-being. For three, it can reduce anxiety and then also four lead to mental clarity. There are four benefits in this. I also just love the idea of connecting more with ourselves, maybe not even just others, but having that quiet time. to reset and recharge and find balance.

Because for me, I feel constantly on and I need to be intentional about taking time to reset. But sometimes I'm resetting with a meditation and I'm using my phone to guide me on a meditation. And that won't fit into the hour free phone. Oh, how am I going to say this? The phone free hour challenge. I'm going to have to like be phone free to meditate if I want to. I mean, I can still do my walking meditation. I just have to find another time to maybe walk without my phone or do something else.

One hour a day, that's it. Little by little, we're going to be making more space for real life. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this point.

I went and had lunch with them one day. And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.

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

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

We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three. So are losers.

What up, everybody. I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I give you the sports facts. My sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Sisson. I'm from the north. an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Beezer, my wife. We do have a farm.

It's beautiful. A lot of acreage. No animals. A lot of crops, hopefully soon. Corn, pumpkins, rye, I believe, maybe a little fescue. To be determined. Over to you, coach. And here's a clip from this week's episode of The Soar Losers. Speaking of a, man, yesterday, last night, we had, we delivered dinner to a family. The mom had surgery. Holy crap, man. Wow. That fan's loud, isn't it? But that's okay. Why are you clapping? Awesome. What is awesome. That's cool. You did that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so we're friends with, you know, the couple of kids are friends. And so we took dinner over and we, the kids play for a little bit. And then we're like, all right, well, we're going to go. I know you're not feeling well. And the dad

looks exhausted. Dude, he's been at this for like five days because the mom is, you know, late. up and he just looks so tired. He wants to just get to bed. We're like, we've got to get out of here. I got to do my shirt again. I'm sweating. I know. It's hot, dude.

I was going to say that fan was making a big difference, but it's not making that big of a difference. Unless I angle myself this way and that computer screen's not blocking it. Then I can feel it a little bit. I'm doing the same cape that lunch posted the picture of yesterday. Yeah. On Wednesday. If we get in the car, we're getting in, everybody buckling in.

All right, we're ready to go. And we're in their driveway. and I turn the car on. And there's a lady standing on the sidewalk right behind the car. And she's just standing there. I'm looking in the rear view mirror and the car's on. She has to see the car lights, right? Hey, sweet tits.

And I mean, two minutes still standing there. And the kids are, Dad, let's go. And I'm like, there's someone, you know, standing back there. And I'm like, I know she sees the lights. Like the red light and the tail lights are on. three minutes go by and I finally, all right, maybe she doesn't see me. So I'll put it in reverse so she has to see me. Whoa.

Right? Give her a blink. So I put it in reverse. And she's just standing there with her dog. In the very middle. Right in the middle. Right behind the car. We are trying to back out of this person's driveway and we can't.

We are stuck. There's nowhere to go. And she's just standing there. And the dog's just kind of squatted there and the ladies just stand there with the leash. Not trying to move the dog, not trying to do anything. Just hanging out. Hey, tits on a stick.

And I'm like, what is she doing? Influencer. I mean, what? Any descriptions of this lady? I don't know if she's 80 or 20. She's probably 48. Hot. Brown hair, short, petite lady.

Ray, very nice shelf. Dog was kind of big like a Labradoodle, is that what they're called? Is she wearing the ass leisure that everybody wears now? Oh yeah, she was wearing like a nice soft, like a light pullover and some probably yoga pants. Black yoga pants and it was a purple top. Say less for the truckers. She had some white, whitish gray tennis shoes on. That's what she was wearing. The dog was a golden dutel. It was kind of grayish.

For the truckers, was she tanned? I know I couldn't really tell she had long sleeves on like she had long and so finally I put it back in park after five minutes of sitting there and I get out of the car and I kind of stick my head around and that's when I see the problem the dog's constipated the lady has a bag on her hand and the dog has half a poop out its butt and it can't come out and it won't move

so she is down there trying to physically with the hand in the bag rip the poop out of the butt. You can't fault her for not moving. I didn't know. She was so concerned with her dog and paying attention to her dog that she probably didn't notice the vehicle. She couldn't she was trying to, she couldn't move the dog because it was already in this like poop position, but that poop.

And she had that bag on there. Hey, ma'am, you got to bear down. This is what I do in the bathroom. and she looks at me and she goes, oh, I'm sorry, you know. Are you lunchbox? I know you're trying to move. She goes, my dog's having problems getting this poop out.

How's it going? I'm the lunchbox. And she's like, I'm trying to move him out of the way. I'm trying to move him out of the way. I'm like, all right. So I get back in the car. I'm like, Dad, what's going on? Have you considered massaging the groin area?

Dad, why aren't she moving? Dad, can we go down? I'm like, oh, the dog's taking a poop. Can I see? Can I see? No, guys. And then I put it in reverse. again to just kind of watch on the camera

because I'm like, I want to see the action. Well, did she address at all why the car cannot back out? Well, she said the dog won't move. She said, I'm sorry, I tried to move. I said, okay. Well, let me get your number, I don't know why. I thought I would. I put it back in reverse

so I could watch on the camera. Because I might, I might as well see the action. And after eight minutes and 30 seconds of sitting in the driveway, the poop was removed. She used her hand in that bag to kind of yank that poop out of there. And the dog moved out of the way.

Dude, that is patience for you to actually get out, not to do the horn. That actually was you being the bigger person. That deserves a round of applause. So it was a big night, man. We delivered dinner. We watched the lady deliver a poop out of the butt. I mean, it was an incredible evening for me. I have always really loved to talk about attachment theory.

so I'm really excited not only because this amazing person that's joining us is an expert in this field, but also because we share the same name. It's Dr. Morgan Anderson, and she's a psychologist and attachment theory expert. Morgan, how are you? I am doing great. Thank you so much for having me. And yes, I love that we have the same name. That's awesome. It's interesting that you mention that because I look at myself in my early 20s when I was dating and I, as an anxiously attached person, I was always finding myself. in situations or in relationships with avoidance or disorganized or men who knew how to breadcrumb or gaslight. And as I evolved as a human being and like really recognized, I hated the way that I felt and I hated the way that I was being treated and started to grow and to become who I am now.

And Morgan, who's 31, I cannot be bothered. If somebody even gives me a hint of a breadcrumb or in the direction of being an avoidant, I'm like, yep, red stop sign. I'm out. I'm getting out of the car. You can continue on, but it's not going to be with me. It's interesting just watching the evolution of myself having figured that out. So I want that for other people if they found themselves in one of these other three in trying to find themselves to a secure attachment. Ooh, let's talk about this. This is good. This is juicy. So when you're showing up with insecure attachment style, like you're talking about and also myself in my 20s as well, your brain, your attachment system, you are attracted. to emotionally unavailable partners.

That is your emotional home. Those partners fit the model of what your brain knows is true about relationships. So you are definitely attracted to those people. And of course, avoidantly attached people are attracted to anxiously attach people as well because it also fits their emotional home. It's this perfect storm of, you know, that magnetic attraction. and this is why it can be so hard to break out of it. And the only way to break out of it is to not get an avoidantly attached person to love you.

Like, spoiler alert for everyone out there. That's not how you break out of it. It's to change internally and to do the work on yourself so that you become securely attached. And now you are attracted to a different type of partner. It's really hard because even as someone who is a secure attachment now and in the dating field currently. there is an overwhelming amount of people who are avoidant and who are emotionally unavailable.

I don't know if that's just we're more aware that that's who they are or if we're just in a very specific time frame where this is happening. I don't, you know, I don't know the science behind any of that. But from personal experience, even being a secure attachment, they're still finding me. They're still coming. Yes. The only thing that is change is that I can now see it for what it is. the you're no longer attracted to it so you're not playing into it. So you're ending those connections so much more quickly than you would have in the past. And I'll give you some of the research on this. So number one is that you're not wrong, that there are more avoidantly attached people in the dating pool because they find themselves in and out of relationships more

frequently. Right. So they're in a relationship and then they're back in the dating pool. So yes, There are proportionately more people who have avoidant attachment who are in the dating pool. And then the other stat that is somewhat terrifying to me is that avoidant attachment is the quickest growing attachment style. So we have more people becoming avoidantly attached than any other attachment style. Oh, gosh, that makes me so sad because it's already rough out here in these streets. We don't need to make it worse. There is hope.

I want to get to the helpful part, but we can talk about this more. Well, it's funny. You know, my friends will often look at me because of the relationships that I've been in. They're like, I'm always surprised that you haven't become an avoidant based on your experiences. And I think once you've had enough experiences on the other side of an avoidant, you'd never want to be that way. Your hope is to never show up to another person like that because of how painful it is to be on that receiving end. And it doesn't mean that anybody's at fault for being those types of things.

We're all human. We all have to go through life experiences. But once you've felt that and once you've been on the other side or been the anxiously attached or the avoidant, whatever, you know how much pain is caused from that. And there's no benefit from me switching attachments from secure to avoidant just simply because I've been hurt. What's really fascinating is that both anxious attachment and avoided attachment, they actually are. emotionally unavailable. They're both emotionally unavailable, which I know is kind of mind-blowing. Avoidantly attached people are emotionally unavailable to their partners. Anxiously attached people are emotionally unavailable to themselves. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're

saying. Yep, that's me, Clipper Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

And for more, follow Timbo Slica Life 12 and TikTok podcast network on TikTok. I think about life like this. Like in 150 years, we're all going to be dead. Nobody's going to remember any of us. It doesn't matter anything that we do, but it does. Do you know what I mean? Like people never, like, remember anything other than how you make them feel. That's it.

So I think my mindset is like I do want to make a difference. Like obviously I want to be at a point in my career that I don't have to beg to go on tour with somebody. Or I don't have to like get an email and them say, oh, well, it's a buy on. I'm like, no, I'm not getting in debt. Like I want to go on tour because you want me there. Or like I can do a headline tour and sell it out. I've got that in the UK. But I'm trying to get that here.

here and I think like I want to be successful I am successful I am successful yes you are successful but I would like to be even more successful because I am a connection person I'm like very emotional I feel my feelings I know what it feels like to be alone and I want my songs to reach as many people as possible just to I want to be I want to be of service to people I want to be of service because I think that's my gift in this life and purpose. So I think whatever desire is planted in your heart, like on a timeline somewhere you've already got it. So I think you have to become it before you are it.

And now that I'm in like a different energetic space, things seem to be, I think I was just like chasing, chasing after people like, hey, I am talented. Hey, I'll play that show. I'll like, you know. And I'm like, no, I don't need to. Like I am really not interested in the whole fickle like, oh, now we'll, now, now, now, now you're cool, you know, now that you've proved yourself and you've done all the work, now we'll have a meeting with you or take you on. I'm like, I'm just not that way. I've never been that way. I've got, I've had friends since I've been like, you know, the same friends since four years old. Like I, the people that I love, I will literally do anything for them. And I try and show up for people because I feel like your word is important.

I'm generally always late, which is a thing I'm working on. But I do show up. I show up. And I just love the people that have shown up for me in this town. And they had no need to that I didn't have anything going on. And what's cool is like all these little moments. Like I just played the country music Hall of Fame and the Opry was another like milestone. And I've only been here a year and a half.

That's it. You're moving fast. I'm trying to. But it's because of them as well. And it's like nice that I get to share that with them. That's what I want. That's what makes it for me that I get to share that sort of stuff. And also on like a personal level, now at a point where I'm like, I want to share my life with someone.

I want to build a life with someone and for them to bear witness to it. Because after time I spend on my phone alone editing to get like, I don't know, 200 views on people. You know, I'm like, gosh. You're hilarious. Like, consistency is everything, 20. Just like, let's go. Keep on. I'm freaking love you.

You are speaking, like, the inside of my mind. You know, if I do ever quit the music industry, I'm going to start a podcast and, like, be, like, the Bridgeton of Nashville. Oh, please. And I'm just going to, like, I'm just going to expose everyone. No, I'm joking. No, but I really, I started this nonprofit called I know a woman because I was absolutely horrified of how.

how many women were not on the radio. I was like, this, this, this doesn't happen in the UK. It's like best song wins. Really? Yeah. It doesn't matter how cool you are, what politics you have. I mean, there's politics everywhere, but I feel like I'm also in this town, that it is a bit, that's been difficult to navigate, like I don't understand the system.

The politics don't make sense. And also, there's so many amazing female artists that why are they not on the radio? And it's like, true. Oh, people don't want to listen to female artists. I'm like, yeah, they do. And the most, can I just say, the most international artists of all time are females, Shania, Dolly, those who I grew up with from the UK. Like, how globally, do you know what I mean?

So I don't know. I'm like a very girl's girl and just don't get it. But I'm not going to like, I'm not complaining about it. I'm just like, is one of them things that you just like, All right, I just got to find another way in, you know, a new way in. What's your method? Just be so good that they can't ignore me. I think it's happening.

I think it's happening. No, I just want to be myself and I want people like, you know, I am not like Eleni Wilson. I mean, I love that girl. She's one of my friends, but I'm not like I do veer on the more poppier side of things because I love to dance. So it's more like in the lane of Shanaya, Megan Trina, my life.

Like, I think my writing is very country-esque of like storytelling. But I like to sprinkle it with a bit of, you know, pop. But it's to be honest, like, country now is just like pop music.

That's what pop means. Popular culture. And it is. It's like massive in Europe. And I just find it's funny sometimes that, people will give you any excuse to say no. And obviously I'm British.

I'm not from here. I'm doing country music. It's like there is a way that a mold that you have to fit and I don't. But then I'm like, you know, Jelly, Jelly's story is really inspiring and Hardy. Like they get played on rock radio as well. I don't hear anybody saying, I mean, they're already successful, so I guess you can do what you want when you get to that level.

That's like... But they came out with rock influences. They didn't hide it. Yeah, no. They weren't trying to... I'm not trying to hide it. And I'm never... You know, it's up to the listener at the end of the day.

Just let the song do the talking. Hey, it's Mike D. And this week on Movie Mike's movie podcast, my wife, Kelsey, and I shared our best and worst for the month of October. All things we watched in theaters or streaming at home. And we let you know whether or not these movies are worth your time and money. Or if you know, should skip them all together. So here's just a little bit of our picks. Be sure to check out the

full episode of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. And hit me up on socials at Mike Distro. That's D-E-E-E-S-T-R-O. All right, we'll get into our movies of the month now for October. You kick us off. Best movie you saw in October in your opinion. So easy. We live in time. The sad one. Yeah. You were waiting to be sad. And I think I felt a little bit different about this movie because everybody was saying how said it is going to be. Just based on the trailer, you can tell that Florence Pugh is going to get cancer. You see her, they sit down to the doctor's office. She has hair. Cut to a scene. She has no hair, shaved head. I love that she committed to the shaved head. She commits. Because whenever, you didn't see Furiosa with me, right? Yeah, I saw it in my family. Remember we saw it at the same time.

Oh, same time, different theaters. The thing that I know in me about that movie is Anya Taylor Joy did not shave her head. She wore like a shaved head wig. And it was so distracting to me. And I feel like that also took her out of that role because if you're not fully committing to it, I don't believe you. And if I don't believe you, I'm not going to enjoy the movie. But Florence Pugh, straight up shaved ahead for real. To be fair, I was looking forward to being sad because it did come out on the weekend that is the anniversary of when my dad passed away when I was younger. So I feel like I needed a cathartic release.

I actually couldn't cry as much as I needed to. It was disappointing. Did you cry at all? I teared up. But the tears didn't necessarily like free flow. The girl across the aisle from us. Yeah, there were people ball in there. And then in the bathroom, she was like, I don't know how everyone else is it crying.

And I think it's because I knew that it was going to be sad that I had this, maybe this guard up a little bit, that I knew what to expect. It was also done in such a way that, like, it was very just, like, beautiful. I love the way this movie was done. And I told you afterwards that I almost felt bad, even giving it a grade. Because it just felt like one of those movies that was essential to life. It didn't feel like, oh, here's the beginning of this movie here. Here's the middle part of this movie. It just flowed like life.

Like you were getting a peek into these characters, just overwhelmingly sad situation of her dealing with cancer, her trying to find her purpose in life. They have a daughter and all the things that they wanted to accomplish in life, kind of get put on hold. It is just a complex story taking, like, what otherwise would just be this really just small slice of life story and making it feel so much bigger and larger.

And I think that's because you have Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield together who have amazing chemistry. They really do. I'm going to give it five stars. Five stars. Wow. I'd probably go on the 4.5 out of five because I feel like it's, there's nothing that I would change about the movie. I love the way how, of course, it's called We Live in Time. It would hop around in different timelines, which I think made it way more enjoyable to watch. You would see them from their very beginning of their relationship, towards the end of their relationship, the middle. It just kind of jumped around. and I think for somebody with like an ADD brain, it would be really engaging to watch

because you're not just watching a continuous story. I think we all have ADD at this point. Yeah, I blame the internet. I blame the pandemic. Like we just sat at home on our phones. It was like tiny screen, big screen, medium screen, then it just kind of like rewired our brains. It's funny now that even our break from our screen is a screen

because we were like, all right, let's put down the phones and watch nice, wholesome television on a bigger screen. Yeah. That's all we do. It's just like it screens. But I think it's different because it's not like scrolling and your eyes aren't like rapidly seeing a lot of content. Like here's 15 seconds.

Here's five seconds. Here's two seconds. Exactly. Here's the Costco guys. Here's your worst for October. Joker. Terrible. Hated it.

I feel like you never even got invested in this movie whatsoever where I found parts of it that I enjoyed. No. There was like little pockets of it that. I was like, okay, now we're getting good. You were just disconnected the entire time. I didn't even take out my movie candy because it was not worth wasting my expensive Swedish candy on this film. Dang, that is the worst.

You can't even snack during the movie. No, it wasn't worth my snack. I was like, I should save this for a movie that I'm enjoying. So I just took out my phone, turned on the brightness, and scrolled. And don't worry, I'm not an a-hole. Like, I turn it down and no one can see me. But I was, I don't think my attention was ever kept during this film. I'll also say at the regal we go to in the recliner seats, you really can't see.

the person's cell phone, like, behind you, or next to you, if you turn down the brightness. And I also put it on, like, the night mode where it changed everything black. Oh, I just keep mine on night mode. I know that's kind of psychotic of me. All the time? I have mine on dark mode. You know, though. I haven't noticed.

I didn't know that. Yeah, you do. I do? Yeah, like my notes background is black, my texts. I guess I didn't realize that. Yeah, I like it better. It doesn't hurt my eyes as much. I'll do it in the movie because I'll occasionally make a note on...

Occasionally. You're making notes during every film we see. I make a lot of notes because I want to remember it. At 19 minutes and 32 seconds, this happened. I do. I time every single movie. I know. Right when we start, I hit the stop.

I know. Because the time online is never right. It includes the credits and sometimes even that's off. I have to know for sure. Sorry, what are you talking? I got bored. Was it the singing for you or was it the story or was it everything? Listen.

Or is it Lady Gaga? Big fan of Lady Gaga. We have to stop making every movie she's in a musical. Listen, I love her. Love her music. Love her makeup line. She does great things. We gotta stop. Just period.

It wasn't even original songs. Because I don't mind a musical. I love Broadway. It was a jukebox musical. I just seemed kind of also over Joaquin Phoenix. Really? Yeah. Because of Napoleon?

No. I just feel like he's kind of a douche, maybe. Interesting. I mean, for a while, he was one of my favorite actors. I just feel like he hasn't done a movie recently that I've really. really enjoyed him in. I also hated the first Joker because I was so physically stressed. And you thought this one was going to be as stressful as dark.

I think I actually would have rather been that stressed again. And I wish it would have been that. And I told you like, hey, good thing is, it's not going to be that dark. But then we got this. I think I would have preferred darkness. Yeah. Over singing. Yeah.

I didn't mind so much the music. It just felt like the Joker character was a complete departure from what he was in part one. and I think the director Todd Phillips almost hated what he created with the first one, that people were, I think he didn't expect people to react to the Joker the way they did and kind of idolize them in a way. And I think that kind of made him upset

that he wanted to tell people like, oh, this character I've created that's been like this beacon now or this type of person, I want to completely destroy that and derail this character and make them completely unrecognizable. so what we got was not the Joker that we were expecting from the first one.

And I think that's what I hated most because it didn't feel like that. It felt like a slap in the face to me. And then you throw in the music and singing and it commits to that so much that I still think that he made the movie he intended to make. But it was not what anybody wanted. It was not. I feel like if there was a movie we were going to walk out of this year, that probably would have been close to one. I would have loved to have walked out of that. Especially because it was pretty long to.

The only thing it had going forward. it was that it looked good. I thought the cinematography was still great. And I don't know if that's enough to redeem a two-hour film. It's really not, but that was the only thing. I was like, well, at least that shot looked cool. Aside from that, there was very few things to be excited about. I honestly should have just gone to see whatever else they were screening
