Hey guys, welcome back to Sunday Sampler.

A bunch of clips from the podcast this week, so maybe you want to check it out. In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie, Morgan, from the Bobby Bone Show, came on to talk about her pets, adoption stories, how Remy became a therapy animal and so much more. So we're going to start with that. Here's the clip of this week's In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie. You're listening to In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie Horchak. Do they sleep in your bed with you? Remy does.

As you just heard the little scuffle between. them. Remy doesn't really allow Hazel to come sleep in the bed. Sometimes she will. If she's so tired, she doesn't pay attention because Hazel's a little sneaky. But yeah, Rumi does. And Hazel would love to whenever she does, especially when I go back home, they both sleep in the same bed together. But for some reason, at my house, this is a lot of thing. So when you travel back to your hometown, they'll sleep in the same bed together. They're like, we're not in our normal environment. We've got a band together. It's kind of like that. Ian, because my parents have three dogs and they both kind of like like their space and they like being a little independent. So

I think they choose to be together versus separate on that. That's totally fair. But then we go back home and it's all back to normal. For this week only, we are on the same team. It's funny how that works. And when we get home, it's over. Are you about to tell me not to let her sleep in the moon? No, no, I'm definitely not.

I feel like I'm like the fear of bad news. No, I have three dogs. Two of them sleep on the floor because they just get hot at night. And then my little ones like wrapped around my head. See, and I don't, I get it. I know there's like, you know, you sleep better or whatever. I'm like, honestly, I don't know that I would sleep better. I'd be like, where are you?

Why won't you cuddle me? I like having you to snuggle. I love to sleep with my little dog. Biggie is his name. It's the best thing ever. His name is Biggie and he's a small dog. He's tiny, I know. His name when we adopted him was Baby Bear.

Baby Bear. And he only came to the name Baby. And my husband was like, I am not calling this dog baby. So we call him Biggie because it sounds, you know, similar to baby. And he comes to Biggie, though. He comes, oh yeah. He's totally, Biggie is for sure his name. name now. But no, like he's like my little space heater and he's so cuddly. And no, I'm all about if you

want your pets to sleep and your bed with you, I support you. You know, it's funny too. When I'm on the couch hanging out with both of them, like Remy will be cuddled like she's a little spoon with me. And if I'm like kind of turned at all, Hazel will be in between my knees like back. And we're all just, I'm just like, well, we're here until one of you moves. You're like, I am just going to have to hold it for the next 12 hours. That's exactly. And sometimes I will fall asleep on the couch. If we're all peacefully sleeping there, I'm like, I'm just going to sleep on the couch. It's the best. There's no better feeling.

There really isn't. And I know there will be come a day that I'm going to miss that. So I'm going to soak it up every time that I can. 100%. So you're single. Have you ever dated anyone that didn't get along or like your pets? Yeah. Yeah.

Really? No, I didn't date him for very long. Let's put it that way. I don't know why I'm saying really. Like I asked the question. Yeah. No, it didn't last very long. That's honestly one of my first questions before I even really start to consider even going on a date with someone is if they like animals.

because I am a massive animal lover. Me and your producer of this podcast have had this conversation. I can't date a hunter, which is funny because I just, I can't, I could if it was like out of side, out of mine, you never bring it home. But I just know most hunters that's not the lifestyle. No. And I just, I love animals so much that if you don't, we're just going to be vastly on different scales and you're also not going to understand me as a human being.

One thousand percent. It's like in your DNA. I feel like if you're an animal lover and, you know, all of their values, like finances, children, all of that, of course, is super important. But like, if you don't like animals, that is right up there. Oh, yeah. And it's funny. I had, I dated one guy and he had all kinds of red flags.

But he was actually really good to my animals. But I, something that's really important to me is that I, if I see a stray animal, I am going to find a way to get it and I'm going to get it to safety. That's just, all my plans will be curtailed. I don't care. Correct. And we were headed to dinner. and I saw a dog and I was like pull over right now like I'm going to go find out and he was like no we're not and we're going to keep going and I sobbed about this dog I had never met in my life but I was like this is not going to work for me and I remember like sitting in that car being like this is so important to me that I can't overlook this we broke up for a multitude of other reasons but that was something that really stuck in my brain for future partners yeah they have to be okay with this part of who I am I feel like you at the first day

need to be like, would you or would you not stop on the side of the road for a stray animal? Literally. Check yes, check no. Just save us some time. Josie, there's also people that I've met who like purposely hit squirrels. Oh, don't tell me that. Like I'm not kidding. Like they'll purpose and they'll see or they'll see possums or something.

I'm like, stop. I don't. What is that animal doing to you? I'm calling 911 on them. That's how I feel. Not only am I not going to date you. You're going to jail. See?

That is horrible. Oh, the toothpaste one's funny. The toothpaste story is funny. What's this? So I did date a guy and, you know, I brushed Remy's teeth every single night. Ms. Hazel doesn't have to have her teeth brush because she doesn't have no teeth. But Remy gets her teeth brush every night and it is with my toothpaste. So I never forget that this is something I have to do.

Right. Well, I was dating a guy and we were at the point of him. He was staying over and he had went into my bathroom to brush his teeth. And he came out and he was like, oh, that toothpaste is super weird. And I was like, what are you talking about? I have Colgate. Like, why is it weird? He's like, in the green bottle.

And I was like, can you show me which one you use? And he comes out. I'm like, it literally says dog toothfaced on this bottle. You're like, you just brush your teeth with the dog's toothpaste. I did. And you may or may not be illiterate because it says dog tooth face. I'm like it says it right. Vets best dog enzyme toothpaste.

Wait, that is disgusting. They like put like chicken flavor in there. Yeah. Oh. That's why it tasted a little weird for this poor guy. And I was like, I'm really sorry, but that is not my face. And he's like, noted. No.

Did you guys? We didn't work out for other reasons, but I'm not sure if that did or did not play a part in that. It's very possible it did. Friday night, Reed mentioned that as a jam, but I believe if I'm correct. You wrote that, I think Lady A cut it, but didn't put it as single? Yeah, it was on the own the night record. And then you asked, hey, you guys didn't put out a single. Do you care if I cut it and put it out as single?

Is that true? I actually was, I mean, it was, yeah, basically I was playing a little show down in Birmingham. And, yeah, one of the guys at the label, Kevin came down, and he came to the show. And just after I played Friday night, he pointed out me, he said, there's your single. And I'm like, Lady A, cut it, you know, from the stage. He goes, they didn't put it on the radio. It's your single. Thanks, Kevin. Keith Urban Wild Hearts.

Yeah, man. How'd that one go? This goes out to the drifters, all of the dreamers ready to fly. I'm like a whisper single. How'd that do? We were 20. I'm bringing you cookies next time I have a song on the radio. We miss number one by 26 spins. No way. Yeah, so it's my first, and I'm fine with the-

You know why? Because I talked to Jen Wayne. I was on a golf course. Jen Wayne pulls up behind me. We're playing golf. Jen Wayne, by the way, was a professional tennis player. Again, I mentioned a runaway, one of the great people, too.

And she pulls up behind me, and she's with Garth's lawyer. But to her, that's not a guard's lawyer. That's like her friend or something. I don't know. And I only knew Garth's lawyer because he kind of got somebody I knew out of some trouble, not Garth, but somebody I knew out of some trouble. And I just met him because we had opened for Garth in Fayville in the Razorback Stadium.

And so I met him, and I went up to him. And I was like, hey, I just want to say thank you, because he contributed to something that was very, very beneficial to me. Very beneficial to me. I can tell you about it all the year. But then I see Jen and him coming up, right? And I'm like, what the crap?

And she's like, yeah, she goes, can you believe? Because again, at this point, I wasn't like in the music game, meaning I'm just creating content at this point. But I don't even keep up, but I want to know if my friends are doing well, you know? And she was like, we missed by 26 spins or 20, whatever the number was. and then she told me who'd beat it. I think it was like a multi-way. Yeah, someone had it for multi-week.

I'm kind of like, why you don't need a three, five, seven week number one? Especially if it's that close. Like somebody, that's a good song. That's a good song. No, it worked out. I mean, all that being said, and the interesting thing, people are like, guy, you must have been upset. And I was like, honestly, I wasn't.

That's the first time I ever had a song go top five and it didn't go number one. Like, it was my first number two. I'll take it. Yeah, you'll take it. No, I'm serious. It was like, really. Just in relative thinking, it was like, I've never had a number two. How cool is that?

I could have had six number twos. You got a two. You're right. Keith Urban is the guy, too, that had really instilled in me, after saying it many times, what you said earlier was, because Keith would be like, this song, not on air, we'd be talking. And Keith and I live pretty close. I've been over, you know, we're Keith's not very friendly. He's awesome.

When he's here, he's not here a whole lot. But when he's here, and he's like, dude, my biggest songs weren't number ones. He goes, and everybody thinks they were because everybody goes crazy for them. But he's like, number seven, number 13. The honest truth is, it was too early. People were catching up. And that be, I will say, if anybody has never seen Keith play live, you, I don't care what genre and what zip code you thought you were born into where your parents didn't

want you listening to that you listened to. Like, whatever music you like, Keith Urban will melt your face off. Also, his whole band is like front men. And the cool thing is, you know, is the fact that he has Nathan and Jerry up there singing and that Keith isn't intimidated. Because Keith is such a rock star, he doesn't need to be intimidated.

Anyway, go see Keith's live band. They're a freaking mind-blowing. And he is such a... This word gets thrown around a lot, but he's such a perfectionist in that I've been with and around him at times pre a show. And he's making sure the lights are in the exact place.

The lights. Like before he does a show. Like he's going, okay, whatever. Sometimes, depending on where you are, when you are, an artist won't even need to do their sound check. I'll have somebody go do it for him. He ran a sound check. He ran some new stuff.

He wanted to test the lights. He wanted to see what the light. Like, that's a guy who wants to make sure that the people get out of it, the money they put into it. Yeah. And he has the time to do it. I remember in earlier years doing tours,

you're just like, I don't even have time for a sound check because my day's book so much. what do you mean having to like do like yeah just all kinds of random stuff Reid you got a song Eli young band whoa whoa what No Rascal Flats Rewind

Rewind Rewind How does sing whisper sing that one Uh Wow Float the moon back up in the sky Put a pole back into that sweet red one Oh yeah

No it's not it Ray do you ever hear a song that goes like this When I grow up up up up I can be whatever I want, want, won't you see. I never said it was now. I said it when I grow up, wasn't the one kid's song. Writing kids' songs before I even had kids.

I just remember being so grateful. Phil Barton. And what's really cool is every once in a while Phil will play at it or write and people will tag me in it. I just remember being so grateful because you knew Phil and brought Phil over to the play when I lived downtown. And I was just so grateful that, because dude, you can write with anybody at any time.

People, you have. That's fun. But I was like, write any song ever. I was like, Eric, well, don't say that because he made me feel less special. But then it's, I was like, he's like, all right with anybody. I write with everybody. Everybody that asked. Yeah, yeah, I was very grateful because I was like, and then Eric's like, let's do the, that, that, that, I remember vividly and it's awesome. And people still, school still use that for like assemblies. That's great. They get tagged at like

the end of the school year. Every year with schools and their kids like all like the second second grade, singing the whole song. And so, yeah, that's, that's, you know. That's, You didn't know that, did you to read? No, I did. Yeah, see, this guy, he's thinking back in school. Yeah. A win is a win. A win is a win.

It's Will Ferrell. Woo. Woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.

I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place 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.

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'll give you the sports facts. my sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius.

Y'all, it's Sizzin. I'm from the north. I'm 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 sore losers. Let me show you the picture. Ray, it looks like the N1 mixtape tour out there. They've shown clips of basketball shorts from 20 years ago. It wasn't it crazy how baggy they used to have them?

Oh my gosh. And now they all wear them right up their cranks. Dude. You can't even see the kid's legs, dude. I mean, he has a head, arms, and ankles. That's all he has. Is that not hilarious? You almost got to get him another pair of shorts.

I did. I got him another pair of black shorts. I mean, it is so... You need my mom. She could sew those things. I mean, look at that. I mean, it's socks. It's his socks.

You don't even see any skin from his neck now. He does look like a baller, though. He does look like a baller, dude. Just dick around on the sidelines. He just dicks around on the sideline with his basketball and cries because he can't go in the game. He looks like he'd be a little bit more efficient than Jessica. Yeah, he's ready. He'll be in it next year.

He'll be four next year and he can play. And I'm like, how the hell is he going to play basketball? The basketball's three sizes. It's too big for him. Like, it's a woman's ball problem. Probably. It's like a 27.5 inch youth ball. I don't know.

Yeah, it's women's. Yeah. That's where we're at. We got a game this coming weekend. We got two games left, man. We got to turn this season around, finish 500. That's what we're hoping for. To go three and three in our first season would be a huge success.

And you said it wraps up when? In two weeks. Here's what you can hope. That'll be perfect. It goes right into March Madness. Then the stuff with Keith, with kid, I'm going to make poster boards. You bring the March Madness to the house. The kids get into it.

It invigorates them. just like LeBron and Luca loving the game again. Maybe they get, it all just works together. Hopefully they keep that excitement then in the off season. This right now, you almost got to look at it as a wash. No, we're still excited. We still have fun.

I mean, that's what we're trying to do. Like we played, I mean... I got to tell you, I'm shocked you guys are doing the score. Tell me how good this practice was yesterday. I forgot to tell you this. We played duck, duck goose. Who wants gummies? Duck, duck goose basketball version.

So they dribble the ball around the circle. and the other person, everybody in the circle has a ball. Duck. Duck. Duck. Goose. And then whoever gets hit, Goose has to start dribbling

and dribble around the circle and chase them around the circle as they're dribbling if they get back to their spot. That's really good. Boom, dude. Yeah, so you've got to come up with the dumb-ass stuff to keep them entertained. You're not running plays and doing conditioning.

These kids don't need to condition at this age. They don't need conditioning because they got plenty of energy. These are the only two things I remember from basketball at that age. You got to try one of them. I'm just telling you. The one is where I told you a kid needs to bark like a dog in the middle of the lane, and then that distracts and you run a play to the basket. But he just gets on his knees and starts barking, and all the other kids are looking,

and then boom, you beeline it to the right, get to the hoop, get a basket. It works once. I'll do it. Okay. I'll do it this weekend. That's one thing I remember. I'll get my wife to film it. Yes, you got to get a kid just faking like they're a dog going as loud as they can.

So then, boom, then you pass it. It works every time. The other thing, tell the kids to write down a mistake on a, piece of paper. Hey, what do you think you did wrong? What do you think? This is what I remember from four-year-old basketball. What did you do wrong? What did you do wrong? All the kids write down, bad pass, didn't make a basket, da-da-da-da. You take them all, you put them in a coffee can. You bring a lighter with you. Light that bitch on fire. The kids go, my God, what is that day? None of those matter. Okay? Let's change it now. I don't remember

exactly how he out-trowed it. Oh, damn. That's pretty good, man. But they're all on fire. That's really good. And it's in a coffee can, so it's not going to start a fire in the basketball court. But it shocks them all. And you're like, because guess what? None of those matter. They're all ashes now. It's in the past. I remember it from four years old, dude.

That's pretty legit. Dude, we're like, coach just started a fire at a coffee can. That's pretty good. It goes out on its own. You're not going to start like a, you know, gym fire. Okay. I like it. That's the type of stuff.

It's something that they're going to remember. Shock value, right? Yes, yes. Get their attention. Yes. All right. Well, happy Wednesday, everybody. We're out of here.

I mean, no football to talk about. I mean... Coach started a fire of practice today in a coffee can. What the? The league calls me, hey, parents have been requesting to get off your team saying you're turning their kids into pyromaniacs. I'm sorry. Maybe you got to throw...

I remember our coach, too. He would let a couple... I don't think it was an F, but he'd definitely say a little S or a D every once in a while. Okay. You let a swear word slip? Damn it. Come on. Sorry kids for saying that.

Come on. Just get them fired up. It's something they're not expecting. I do like that. All right. Anything else? You got anything going on? No, man.

No, man. Beezer, dude. They make her, she's been working from home. She had a commute. She said to the commute in traffic, hour and a half. She had to commute? Yeah, they just, they're doing a couple things in the office.

Oh. It's me up. Almost a save drive. My drive's 20 minutes. Hers in traffic is an hour and a half. She goes, it's brutal. I'm quitting tomorrow. I'm like, I'm totally kidding.

She's not quitting. But she goes, dude, this traffic is awful. And I'm like, yeah, it's pretty bad. But working from home, you save yourself an hour and a half on the front end and the back end. Yeah, that's three hours of your day, man. Those people that sit in traffic, that sucks for them. But all right. Laugh a lot.

Cast a row thing. Little food for your soul. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful thing. Laugh a little more thing. Tighten up your core. said E.K. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown.

All right, let's talk about closure because, well, I think this is something that we've likely all struggled with at some point. Like whether it's a breakup or a friendship that fizzled or ended or just any situation that never fully has been resolved, it's really, really hard to move on without that final answer. And I will say, sometimes we want to receive that final answer, but also sometimes, Sometimes we want to give other people closure because we feel like it will be good for them when maybe that's not necessarily our role. You may not have to provide that. So that's a whole other thing to work through as well.

But I read something from psychologist Kavya Shrivostov. Totally not sure if I'm saying her name right, but I gave it my best shot. And it really hit close to home. She said closure isn't about what the other person gives you. It's about how you process what happened. Now, the main reasons behind why we crave closure are pretty obvious. Obviously, it helps us find peace after being hurt. It stops us from just ruminating over it, obsessing over any unanswered questions that we have.

It helps us move forward without lingering regrets of sorts. And pretty much closure is like sealing an emotional envelope. That's how I visualize it in my head. Like you're able to just close it shut. Without it, you keep going into the envelope to reread all the old stuff, the letters, the messages. And you try to make it make sense and you can't. And the hard truth about closure is sometimes we think that it has to come from the other person. like we need to hear them explain or apologize or or even validate whatever it is that happened. But that's not always going to happen. Again, because they don't even owe it to us. Now in some circumstances, yes, it's not a blanket statement.

But let's just say for the sake of this thing, it's never going to happen. You're not going to get the closure. So then what? What do you do? Well, that's when you get stuck in the wide trap and you're like, why did they do this? Was it me? What could I have done differently? How could I fix it? And those types of questions will leave us spiraling forever. So the key for us is to accept that we don't need all the answers to move forward. And I have had to practice this multiple times in my adult life.

And I wish I better understood this as a teen and a young, young adult as well. Because the power of acceptance is so good. And now that I know acceptance, it just helps me. And I know that it could sound like if you're accepting that you're just kind of rolling over and being like, okay, cool, you know, this horrible thing happened and I'm fine with it. But that's not what the acceptance part is. Acceptance just means that you're not going to fight it. You're going to fight what's happening. It means instead of obsessing over why something happened, you focus on what you can do next. a little mantra that I had in my back pocket for 2020, 2021, 2022. Like, I was using this one a lot.

I may not understand it, but I can heal anyway. Because there was so much I wasn't understanding and I didn't have answers to, but I knew I had the ability to heal anyway. Sometimes it was hard for me to just move on. I didn't like the idea of that. So I would think of it more as like moving along or moving forward. Like despite what was happening, I was going to move forward. Sometimes I would move backwards.

But at least I was moving. It's a small shift from the word moving on to moving forward. But for me, it made a big difference. It felt more practical and less forced. The energy is a little bit different. I don't know, see if that resonates with you. like if you say moving, I'm moving on or I'm moving forward. There's different energy there.

So then comes the time where you have to really give yourself closure. Again, it's not coming from the other person. It is coming from within you. At the end of the day, finding closure is you choosing yourself because you're not going to let those thoughts take up any more space, rent-free, in your brain. So one thing you need to do, because who knows how long you've been thinking these thoughts, I mean, some of you listening right now, I know we're holding on to things from 10 years ago. And you want closure. And you have been wondering why for the last 10 years. Or maybe it was just 10 days ago.

Well, this is going to be awesome for you to be reminded of this. I'm not saying anything new, by the way, and I'm gathering a lot of different things that I was taught over the last five years that I learned. Some of this I picked up in Al-Anon. That is all about surrendering, releasing control. when you are stuck in trying to figure out the why of what happened and you are stuck wanting closure from somebody else, this is the opposite of surrendering. You have to focus on what you can control and you can't control that. So whether you've been trying to operate that way, like I said, for 10 years or 10 days, pause and forgive yourself for holding on for however long it was, let go of any resentment towards the person. You don't want to carry you. You don't want to carry that around and then prioritize peace. If you are waiting on that one last conversation or that

one last explanation, just know that you don't actually need it. Your piece is within you. It's not dependent on what they do. This is honestly one of those things. Like when I was typing out what I wanted to say about this, I'm like, oh, I need to like email this to myself so I can go back and read it when I need it or maybe I'll just pull this part of the podcast and listen to it when I need it because I think we all crave closure and we can know that this is what we need to do to let it go and not get all wrapped up in that we need answers from somebody else when we're trying to force it. Now if someone wants to volunteer that information, that's totally fine, but does knowing that really change things for you fully.

I know there are things that I have ended where I believe the person would appreciate more closure and at the same time I felt like what I was able to share was enough. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th.

And it's like, okay, it's like a thing. And I've never met someone to join in with me before. Well, here we are. Best friends right off the job. Because I feel like it just really took us to the next level right away. What do you think? Well, I think being singers, too, you know when your voice is like in the prime. And when you know you've got stuff stuck in there. Yes. And the worst is on stage. Sometimes I'll take a puffer before I go on stage, which is actually I've learned as the worst thing. What's a puffer? Like a buterol, like when you have asthma. Oh, okay. You like spray. It's like a steroid in your throat. Okay.

To help you open your airways. Okay. And it actually gets all your mucus going. So I'm hacking on stage while trying to sing it doesn't work. Yeah. So I can't take that. What do you do when a hack attack comes on stage? My husband, who's my playback, he can talk in my ears.

He's like, you need to take another shot of your puffer. Come to the side of the stage. after the second song. But now I know the puffer's the problem. Yeah, the puffer's a problem. So I just went to the doctor. So I was, this is not, I'm not throwing names out there,

but I was hanging out with Shania Twain. And I was telling. Like as a friend? No, I opened for her and then I. Well, I saw that. And she like learned your song on stage and you all did like three-part harmony. Crazy.

Like, best moment of my life so far. For sure. Which we'll circle back to the moment, but then let's talk about the hanging out. Yeah, we were hanging out. How do you hang out with Shonai-Tway? Well, she was on a three-run date at this festival in Newfoundland, which my family lives there.

So it was kind of like a hometown. Yeah. Okay. So you're from Canada? Yes, from Canada. Okay. And I got to meet her on stage because I play with her. And then how did you get that opening spot just because you're a badass? Oh, you were nominated for like Canadian artists of the year. I mean, you got stuff going on. All the Canadians. All the Canadians. You were the one female Canadian artist this year. This was my first nomination ever and I was actually really surprised that I got it. So you're nominated for female artists a year. Yeah. Which like I, I, awesome. I thought maybe I would get like new artists or something but that was great to the top but hanging out with Shania I was like this is my moment to ask her random shit and you did yeah would you

did so I asked her because she's a fellow Canadian I asked her about like her business manager is it a Canadian or is it an American because they need to know all the tax laws for both countries what is it she's like you needed Canadian okay so I did actually switch business managers okay take her from Shania to a Canadian yeah got to I literally listened to every single thing. She told me that I did it. Can you share all the tea? She told me to go on singular for asthma.

So I did. Okay. Which is a medication for asthma. I think so. Well, should I said so? So must have. And then I got my puffer. And then I got, I'm on Zyrtec allergy pills.

Okay. And acid reflux. Nexium. Okay. So I'm just taking all of these things. And then she told me like this whole thing about like not eating before your show. And she like lays in the dark in her. hotel all day and people just bring her like purified food and I'm like well I don't have people yeah

and you have her husband I have my husband he has like 10 jobs okay he's not gonna peer a like pure age pure raid sorry yeah pure aid food so she only wants it like mushed up like applesauce style yes she does not chew food day of her show meanwhile I'm like I eat McDonald's for every meal when I'm on the road why does she not choose food Because I just just kick a collar in her throat. Yeah, she doesn't want a half. She doesn't want a hat. She knows her body, I guess.

So I wrote it down, but I'm not at that point yet. Like she brings her own ninja with her. Does she like do anything when she's laying in the dark? Like watch TV? No. She was dark like meditation music. All day? All day.

How do you do that all day? I don't know. And I explained to her. I'm like, I'm at the point of my career where I'm flying in day of potentially or I'm driving all morning and all night. I haven't slept for a week. having showered and need to eat McDonald's. So I'm not at that point yet.

But like how does someone lay all day without going bananas? Yeah. Man, that's amazing. She's got this down to an art. Shows where she's, she rips around stage. Like she's running. This is like the rebirth of Shania.

Because I feel like she kind of went silent for a little while and then reemerged. Yes. And like, man, did she reemerge? Like with incredible costumes. And I feel like she like cuts them herself backstage before. I've seen like documentaries or something where she's like the costume will be I could be wrong but like She'll like get some scissors and like change it up a little bit and like I've definitely watched all her documentaries and read her book and because she's Canadian I just know everything about her

And she was like trying to she was like explaining some stuff about her past life. I'm like I know I know you don't have to tell me I know everything about you but thanks so you all like hung out hung out yeah was she awesome like 4 a.m. So like how many hours? Well it was like after the show so I'm like midnight to 4. ish. And she was just chatting with you? Yeah. And she was so chill. She drank a whole bottle of champagne and I was just... Is she living her best life these days? Yeah. I feel like she's really in her like her best thing. She's so cool. And she like swore and she was like super Canadian and like, you know, Canadian hillbilly vibes, which is what I am. So... Oh, did you all like get numbers? No. Okay. But she was like, I'll send you this stuff. I'm like, how are you going to send me that stuff?

Let's be honest. Gosh, that's so cool. Because a lot of times like megastars like that don't hang out with people. with people that like are opening for them and I've never yes I usually don't even get to meet the person yeah sometimes you don't even meet for meet them and the fact because actually so I made that happen because oh go girl I heard that she doesn't meet opener sometimes and her mean greets are not very big okay so I was like how can I meet you I'm I'm literally opening for the queen and I'm I need to meet her so I this side note but I play the bagpipes oh I know um and I've got to I have so many questions about the bagpipes. So I was like, other than that, like, she's not going to care who I am. So what if I played bagpipes to one of her songs? So you learned it? So that morning in the hotel, I learned any man of mine on bagpipes. I have like my electric bagpipes. So I sent her manager a video of me playing it. And she was like, yeah, she loves it. So Shania approved. And then when I was about to go on stage with her, I was like, you know, do you guys play it in the same key? Like I need to make, they're like, no, you're not really going to play. Like she's just going to talk to you and you'll play it for like two seconds. You're not going to play with a van. band. I had in ears, but I didn't hear the count in of them actually joining me. So I did the

beginning of any man of mine. And then the whole band came in a different key because I did an album key. And so she talked to me in my ear and she's like, that's the wrong key. Go figure out what key we're in. She denied it? Yeah. And I was like, I specifically asked if you guys played it in this key. And they were like, no, don't worry about it. Hey, it's Mike D. And this week, a movie Mike's movie podcast, Kelsey and I recently rewatch all eight Harry Potter movies, I re-ranked them from my least favorite to my most favorite. We got into a big discussion and heated debate on a death in the Harry Potter franchise that I thought was a little bit overrated. So a small spoiler warning, even though the last movie came out now over 10 years ago.

And I think if you haven't seen any of the Harry Potter movies by this point, you're probably not going to. But we do get into all the details as far as the endings, the deaths, because in order to do this episode, you have to talk about it all. So here's just a little bit of the episode, but be sure to check out the entire thing on Movie Mike's movie podcast. At number four, I have from 2010 Deathly Hallows Part 1, directed by David Yates. This one sets the stage. And it went up on my list. I was going to say, you weren't the biggest Deathly Hallows, man. No, and I think it's because when we do rewatch them, we don't typically rewatch the last two.

Maybe because they are heavier. Maybe it's because the conclusion of the story. It's not one that I think, like, hey, let's put that one on. It's a light family-friendly film. But the way we re-watched them all and I was able to see it build up towards the end and, like, really find out the true story. I almost feel like for the first time again, because it's been a while since we sat down and re-watched them all.

Now imagine, like, having to wait a year, even though I'd read the book. I couldn't do it. Like, I put myself in that position of when these movies came out and thinking like going to a theater and not knowing what was going to happen, even though you probably read the book, you knew what was going to happen. But that level of excitement had to be wild. Oh, it was unmatched. So that one went up.

And at number three, this one also went up. And I put them together. It's a Deathly Hallows Part 2 from 2011, the conclusion to all of it. I don't remember the scene whenever Harry finds out the whole story of how it all connects. And with Snape. Oh, yeah, yeah. When they go to the big exposition of what is he, he dips his head in like that water thing,

like that fountain and then he's able to. Well, Harry dips his head in the water and sees, he puts like Snape's tears. That's what it was when Snape dies. That was sad. Seas all of Dumbledore telling Snape, like you must be the one to kill me and how Snape like all along has tried to protect Harry and he wasn't the bad guy.

I remember reading that. And my mind was blown. Life was changed. I was like, oh my God, he wasn't the bad guy. Because in the books, it's the same, like, you think for six books that Snape hates Harry and that he's responsible for Dumbledore's death. You think that. And then, like, you find out in the book, truly changed me.

And the fact that Voldemort has been a part of him, like, he lives inside of him, that whole connection of when he, what happened when he tried to kill him. and it just, for the first time, I was able to, like, really connect it all and feel the gravity of it and think, oh, like, how well designed this story was and all the pieces that ended up connecting, this is the only movie franchise

that I feel wraps up perfectly, because I guess, because it is based on the book, but there was nothing, no questions unanswered, there was no emotions that you were lacking. It had it all. Yeah, and then they give you the scene in, like, 20 years when everyone's like married and has their own kids going to hogwolds.

That hits you emotionally. I also love whenever they go into whatever that white space is, wherever he sees him again. Sees Dumbledore again. Dumbledore again. And he like, you think he's dead, but then he's not really dead. Then he comes back to life. Long Bottom has his moment where he shines. So there are so many great conclusions for different characters in this final movie that I found myself,

and get more. And now I feel like I could just go back and watch part two. Yeah. And enjoy it and feel like, oh, yeah, that is one now. I want to go back and rewatch. That is why I have it at number three now. But at number two, has stayed here pretty steadily. I'd say before Chamber of Secrets was in that number two spot forever, I just love those so much.

But it's Prisoner of Ascaband. Came out in 2004. We've watched that one a lot. We've watched this one, I feel like, the most. Because we've seen it. Anytime it's on TV, and then we did one of our, like, outdoor movie nights. They showed that one. And this one, it's pretty, has a lot of vivid memories.

Obviously, the introduction of Sirius Black. Hermione has the, like, time travel thing. It's the first one where they look more, like, grown up. They look older, yeah. They don't look like tiny kids. There are straight children in the first two, but this one they get older. And it starts to get a little darker, the tone. The bus scene at the beginning.

Yes. Which I think is the most iconic, one of the most iconic things out of all of these movies. The Double Docker Boss. That is very memorable. And overall has just become one that I feel is a really good centerpiece of the entire story. And I think it's the fact that we have rewatched so much that it has great rewatchability. It has crept up into my number two slot. All right.

And at number one, Sorcerer Stone, 2001, Chris Columbus. I just feel that this one embodies everything that I love about Harry Potter. I had it on VHS. That is amazing. I wish I still had that. But it's, I hate to pick the first one in a franchise because. Which you don't normally. I don't because I feel like the first one is still setting the stage.

But this one sets the stage the best of him not knowing he's a wizard. You're a wizard Harry. Haggard coming. Yeah, the best line. That whole interaction with all them trying to get the notes to him, the mail to him, post doesn't come on Sunday. Him living beneath the stairs, them leaving and then still finding them and him finding out about platform 9 and 3 quarter.

Like they're just, it's the best. Yeah. And it also, the reason we associate these movies, at least for us, with Christmas time is because there is Christmas in this one. Happy Christmas, Harry. And it just has like that warm, cozy vibe that even though it's not a Christmas movie, I think that's why any time November, December roll around, I want to rewatch these movies.

And I also feel this was the first time that you're introduced to not knowing whether Snape is a good or a bad guy. You think he's the bad guy the entire time? You think he's the bad guy for six movies? Yeah, but this is the one we're like, oh, he's the bad guy. He's doing it. He's the one messing up the quidditch match. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

One needs doing the curse, and it turns out it's quarrel, and Snape's like trying to counteract it. Hermione sets Snape's robes on fire. So I think nothing will ever knock this one out of being my favorite Harry Potter movie. It has everything I want from every single character. And to me, it just feels the most magical. And I feel kind of like a kid again when I watch this movie. Thanks for listening to this week's Sunday sampler. If any of those clips, tickled your fancy, go and check out the episode.
