Hey, it's Amy here, and we are back with another Sunday sampler. It's clips from some of the podcasts that came out this week on the Nashville podcast network like the Bobbycast. My podcast, Four Things with Amy Brown, Soar Losers with Lunchbox and Ray, movie mics, movie podcast, Get Real with Caroline Hobby and more. Now, this week on the Bobbycast, Bobby talked with radio veterans, Tony Randall and Chris Rochester of the Tony and Chris show.

They've been in radio over 30 years, so they have a bunch of stories, like the time they interviewed Garth before he was famous. As you may know, a new podcast joined the Nashville Podcast Network family a few weeks ago. It's called In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie, and it's all about animals, so check that out if you haven't. And Josie's an amazing storyteller. You're going to love it. And another podcast that's new to the fam is take this personally with Morgan Hewles,

This week she had on two guests, therapist Dr. Alexandra Solomon and country artist Kylie Morgan. So you're going to hear from both of them. Let's get started with the clip from Take This Personally. This week I have on Dr. Solomon, who is beyond an expert with over 20 years of experience. She studied psychology and women's studies at the University of Michigan. And she also received her PhD in counseling psychology. Thank you for joining me. and I want to get your expertise on several topics, but we're going to dive right into the deep end to start.

I want to talk to you about the ways that we invalidate ourselves. I'm guilty of it. I know a lot of people are of saying others have it worse. How do we get away from doing that and feeling that way? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the only way that I know how to do it is with something in something that comes from psychology, which is called dialectics. So dialectics, you know, our research has shown that a lot of our emotional resilience and

emotional well-being rests upon our ability to hold a dialectic. And a dialectic is a space where competing truths where two things are true at the same time. Two things that seem opposite are actually both true. I had a terrible day and I am blessed. Those both are true. We can be blessed and suffering, that both those things can be true. I don't have to prove that I have it worse than anybody else in order to be entitled to my suffering. And the way that I do that is by holding both my grief and my gratitude, my courage and my fear. The fact that I'm whole as I am and I'm forever a work in progress, like these things that just seem like they can't possibly both be true at the same time are as part of the thing that makes being alive so complicated. So I think if I had one of those moments,

I certainly have had those moments where I am just in the suck. I am just like suffering and struggling and wanting to host a big old pity party for myself. And then I'm just like, ah, I'm being ridiculous because there are people who have, you know, quote unquote actual problems. Both those things are true. Yes. I am absolutely blessed and I am absolutely, you know, burnt out or struggling. So that's where I try to go. Because you're right. If I cannot validate my own suffering, you can bet that I'm not going to be able to validate the suffering of people around me. And then I'm not going to be very fun to be around because I'm going to be judgmental and dismissive, you know, and like roll my eyes at people. And that's not going to be a recipe for healthy relationships. And being self-aware is kind of one of the big buzzwords right now in psychology and therapy. Is it living up to all the hype? Should we be focusing so much on that? And what does that look like? If somebody hasn't ever heard the word self-aware and they're like, what do I need to do with that? What would be the first steps you tell someone to get through this? first phase to be on that journey. Self-awareness is my, that's my jam. That's how I spend really all day, every day is supporting people in different ways to understand with curiosity and with compassion, who they are and why they are the way that they are. And I think it's, it is essential. If what people want is high quality relationships, whether that's relationship with partner, relationship with their family members, relationship with their kids, we have to be willing

to get curious about why we are reacting. the way we're reacting in any given moment. Like, that's just the work of it. So I think the first step is to just begin to notice how we're talking to ourselves. Notice when we have rise and fall of different emotions during the day. Like, just getting really curious and starting to view our thoughts and our feelings and our behaviors is data. It's just data that we then can sit with and wonder about.

I think one of the things, you know, you started off by asking about kind of what's changed in the last, you know, a couple of decades. the whole field of self-help as I was growing up in the 80s. My mom always had a stack of self-help books next to her nightstand. So self-help isn't new necessarily, but we're living in this really exciting time of social media, a podcast where there's so many resources that somebody can bring in. And I think just listening to different podcasts that are about relationships or about psychology or reading, you know, following different Instagram accounts with these like daily small doses of self-awareness work. I think those are really really.

gentle ways to start, especially if someone's not interested in committing to therapy or something like that. But there's little things we can do each day to just begin to check in with ourselves. How do you suggest? I think it's hard for people to receive feedback. There's criticism and there's unkindness, but then there's feedback. And because of social media, there is also this other side that we've seen this very cruel side of the world. So it's really easy to loop in feedback with criticism and negativity. So how do we kind of look at something like, okay, this is feedback to help me versus this is criticism to hurt me? That's right. I think that's a very, very good point. And it's all about the strength of the relationship. Yeah, I will not take feedback from somebody where I have a sense

that there's an ulterior motive or a hidden agenda or a lack of willingness to be in dialogue with me, in community with me. I won't take feedback from somebody where if I don't have a sense that somebody has my back or has my best interest at heart or who really can feel the core of me as a good, decent person. They don't get the right to give me feedback, right? You know, and that, so that, I think it really is about the strength. That's, I want us to be cultivating the kinds of relationships where there's enough trust that then feedback feels like a generous gift rather than an attack. And that's what there was, right? With my husband, I trust that he's in my core. I trust that he has my back.

I trust that whatever he wants and needs to say to me is in the service of everyone in our family feeling safe and understood and held and celebrated rather than to take me down or to prove some point or to diminish me. You guys go to San Diego. How long were you on together in San Diego? 93 to 2009. 15 years? 15 years, I think.

Well, that last year was just paid out. Yeah. We got paid for a whole year. Oh, more than that. It was the craziest thing. We won't go into the radio company that did it. But we were making really good money. They had built a station across the street for us, and we went across the street,

and then halfway through it, we were number one beating our old station that had never been beaten before. Okay, let me, for those that don't know, so across the street means a rival. So you were working at a different station, and then Clear Channel built a station, and then they said, hey, come, so they hired you away from your old station. Yes. Got it. And we were, like, they put a ridiculous bonus in if you could beat your old station because it was always number one.

And we did it in the first book. And everybody was losing their mind. And then a new GM. I want to clarify one quick thing. They didn't hire us away. Like, we just went for more money. There's a story behind it. We wanted to stay at KSOM.

Oh, yeah. We were there for 10 years. It wasn't a big contract negotiation and you picked them? It was a big contract negotiation. The contract had been negotiated in principle. who just hadn't signed the contract yet. Everything was done. They sent flowers to us.

Our wives, everything was great. And then the VP at that time it was an insurance company that owned KSOMN, Lincoln Financial. She saw it, the deal, and she said, what are we doing? We're not paying these guys this money. And they're like, yes, we are.

This is what the market will bear. This is what the top shows are making. She goes, well, we've never paid a show this much and we're not doing that. So she reneged on the deal. Wow, she nixed the deal. And then she sent word down when they'll either take it what they're doing

for another year, one-year contracts, we can find someone cheaper or they can go to another market and we'll tell everybody they ditched for more money. And that was the KSON way because there were some big names that came out of there. Jack Diamond back in the day, Lisa Dent, who went to Chicago with had great success. It was a station where if you left, if you were successful and left, you left the city. Nobody had ever stayed because there was no country station who would take them on, ever. So this was right before the holidays, it was weird because we always took two weeks off at the end of the year and we're packing up our stuff. But then we basically called a buddy of ours and say, hey, can you come help us, get this out?

we're going to empty out the office because we knew when we left we were leaving for good and our agent called the guys a clear channel and said hey would you be interested in tony and chris and they were like absolutely but they'll never leave k s o n i mean they're killing it over there and he was like and he told them what happened they said and the guy was like give me a couple of days because now we're in the holidays books are closed obviously long story short they got done and when we left ks oan before christmas two weeks before came back in january to a brandy radio station had been built for us. Was that a super stressful, intense time for you guys?

Yes. That you talk about it now, it's like, ho-hum, but really at the time it was like, oh my God. It was horrible. Yeah. I'm like, what am I going to do? I've got kids. You're still hurt.

Like, even though the other station, you loved everybody at the other station, and then you're coming on, and it was just weird and, like, jealous that there's people in our seats and across the street. How quickly do they hire someone new? Pretty quick. They had to. Actually, I take that back. It was like a year.

They put in, like, the midday guy and somebody, and they were on their, I don't think it was a year. And they're dead man walking. It almost doesn't matter who it is. Yeah. Well, the nice thing about, to their credit, they weren't hiring them to do the morning show and then get rid of them when they were done. The guy stayed on, he put the company for a while doing midday and other things. But, you know, they did what they had to do.

And then they hired a show that was, in my opinion, not awesome, but it's tough because they're putting people together who weren't already a show. And that's risky. What was it like at the new place? Initially, it was great. Initially. Well, the GM, when he hired us, he goes, look, our afternoon guy is a good kid. he's the PD, will you guys kind of train him how to be a PD? Did you know how to be a PD?

Did you guys know how to be a PD? Well, I think we knew how to beat KSOMA. We knew how to beat KSOMA. And so we would say, like, the first thing they're going to do is say, call all the record labels and say, if you do anything with them, we're not going to play the records. So we said, let's get the PD or the music director at KNIX to be our music director also.

So that takes away that leverage. And, you know, so we were, little things like that. It was a brand new station. We weren't reporting, but K&IX was. And so it was Gwen, Gwen Foster. And so that held, they couldn't say, well, we won't play it anymore. So, well, neither will KNIX. So we, we crushed them.

And we're, I mean, it was just rocking and it was great. And then the new GM come in, and the new GM, the afternoon jock was not, the PD was not smart. How long was your turn, your new contract for? Five years. Okay. And when the new GM come in, the GM basically, basically said, I don't need a morning show's input. I've got a PD right here.

They didn't believe in country either. So we were out of the gate. Fundamentally a bad, just a bad fit. Yeah. And then as soon as that happened, we got cut out of the loop on everything, and the decisions started being weird. Like I remember one day being at CMA, the roundtable thing. And the lady walked up and goes,

boy, it's a tough day for you guys. And we're like, what? And she goes, the PD's calling all the regionals or the record reps and telling them that we don't need you anymore because they decided they're going to start leaning more old country. We're like, what? So we had to call and get that stopped. And then, like, six weeks later, without telling anybody,

they flipped it to new country. It was just weird. But anyhow, when we were saying the last year, we just got paid out, we were calling our agent, and our agent finally just said one day, he goes, guys, Paul. You know Paul. I do. And he goes, guys, you're trying to win, and you will not win. They want you gone.

And we're like, well, what do we do? And so we went and said, if you don't want us here, let us out. And they were like, oh, no, we want you. you here, but we need you to sign this, and it was a list of you will not talk. Crazy-ass stuff. You will not talk more than 20 seconds a break. You will never say your name. You will run no imaging with your name. If traffic's more than 60 seconds behind out of this window, I mean, all these crazy reasons they could fire us. Where was this coming from? Like, what, you actually have some clarity from it now because you're far removed, but really what was happening? What was the goal in?

Well, we found out because of an email. Basically, they wanted to save the money. that they were paying you guys the GM they were trying to get us for cause because it was an ironclad contract and that's why they were giving you all these stipulations they were ready for you to break one because they were so hard to maintain they and Paul was just like take the checks in our building remember when the craze happened where everybody was buying everybody yes we had Jeff and Jare Dave Shelley and chainsaw us AJ the four biggest morning shows in San Diego were all in one hallway and that was a lot of money a lot of money back then and they just the new GM come in and goes, I don't want that. Like, they replaced our show when we left with two part timers,

who, one of which had never been in a radio station six weeks before. It's kind of like when George gets fired from the Yankees, and they're like, who's doing your job now? He's an intern. He comes in on Mondays. It's like, ouch, that hurt, man. So the GM came in with a completely different agenda, and he was trying to put the pieces together to eliminate a lot of cash being paid out to talent. Didn't believe in talent, basically. Yeah, it was probably the beginning of the end for talent in San Diego anyway at that time. So for a year, our agent just said, just go in, do the weather, the calls, and play solitaire all morning and cash those checks. In the meantime, I'll work to get you out of this.

And he eventually did, and they had to pass 18 months to do nothing, which was great. 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. 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 platform became bigger than I. ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

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.

You're listening to In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie Horchak. I'm so excited about our guest today.

In the Vets Office, we have my friend and my mentor, Dr. Cindy Sharlee, are joining us. Dr. Cindy is a vet that was like me in general practice for quite a while. and then she decided to pursue a residency and become a board-certified canine and feline veterinary dentist and oral surgeon. She's really gone on to become the most sought after dental guru really in the vet world. And she has spent years going all over the country, training veterinarians about vet dentistry. She taught me everything I know about vet dentistry. And she has such enthusiasm for the subject that, you know, is amazing and really helps educate doctors and owners and she's just, it's contagious.

So I'm excited to have her here today. Awesome. All right. Let's talk about teeth with Dr. Cindy. Hi, Dr. Cindy. We are so excited to have you in the vet's office today. Welcome. Thank you.

Happy to be here. I know I mentioned a little bit in my intro, but Dr. Cindy was a general practitioner like I am for almost 20 years. And then she decided that she wanted to be a board certified veterinary. dentist. Can you explain what exactly that means for the listeners? Sure. I always call it my midlife crisis. So what I realized early in my practice career was that nothing had as big impact on how my patients felt than to work in their mouths and eliminate oral discomfort. And so I had an opportunity to become a specialist. Just like as a person,

you go to an oncologist or a radiologist, internal medicine specialist, all of the specialists exist in the world of veterinary medicine also. And so I went, become a board-certified veterinary dentist. So there are probably about 160 of us or so in the United States. Not very many. It's a relatively new specialty in veterinary medicine. But I went back and did that because I felt it gave me an opportunity to really impact patients care.

And I think a really interesting thing that listeners may not know until they listen to this podcast is that in veterinary medicine, it's very different than in human medicine. When pets come to their general practitioner, we really do what we feel comfortable doing until we're like, this is maybe above my pay grade. I'm going to send them to a specialist. So at any given moment, we can be an ophthalmologist, a dentist, a cardiologist. What are some of the things that you typically see that general practitioners are sending to you rather than doing themselves? Yeah. So the greatest thing about being a specialist is we have an opportunity to triangulate. So it's the veterinary specialist, it's the general practitioner, it's the owner, and it's the patient in the middle. So there's

three of us putting our heads together to be as smart as we can about providing the pet with the best care. So some of the common cases that I would have referred to me would be a pet with a fractured tooth for a root canal, a pet with a oral tumor, a cancerous tumor to have treatment for that. A dog that got hit by a car that had a fractured jaw, a cat or kitten that was born with a cleft palate. Like kids are born with cleft pallets, but the general practitioner is comfortable working on and often get referred. I think what would be fun to do is, you know, I see patients every single day I'm doing an exam from toes to nail, toes to nail, nose to tail. And a big part of that is doing a really good thorough oral exam. So a lot of times. So a lot of

we're talking about dentistry and general practice and I thought it'd be kind of fun to role play. What I'm hearing owners say to me on a daily basis and then hearing what you have to say back and this is not to make fun of owners or listeners. Like this is it's our job to educate you

and you just don't know what you just don't know. So that's what we're here for. So the very number one thing that I hear when we talk about oral health and dentistry is you know, Dr. Josie, I never brushed my dog teeth growing up. We never had any issues. And now you're recommending a teeth cleaning or a dental

for my pet. And it's so expensive, hundreds of dollars, maybe $1,000. Like, why, what is going on here? Yeah. So years ago, we really didn't pay much attention to the mouth. Even when I graduated from veterinary school, I didn't learn much about dogs and cats and their teeth and oral discomfort. I learned that dogs and cats had teeth. But that was about it. So we've gotten a lot smarter in veterinary medicine as we've gone on. And what we know now is that oral disease is a huge source of discomfort and pain for the patient. Or did I ever after to try to treat before the daughter cat stops eating? And in order to do that, we have to put the patients under general anesthesia. Preoperative lab work, providing the best valuation that we can, providing monitoring during

anesthetic, required talented, doing a dentistry procedure, anesthesia can be expensive. But if we make part of our pets can be less expensive over time instead of ignoring the fact into oral surgery that becomes more expensive. Yeah, and I think, you know, owners just don't know on the back end that there's so much that goes on. It's not just a teeth cleaning. Like you said, it's we've got all those nurses that are helping with, you know, getting them ready for surgery and inducing them, intimating them. It's just like all the things that would happen to humans at the human hospital. So there's a lot of talented people involved. There's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes. And then it's not just a dental cleaning. We're taking full mouth x-rays, which is a huge diagnostic tool. I'll

maybe let you expand on that a little bit. And, you know, cleaning is a kind of belittling what we do because we use high-speed hand tools to really clean those teeth. And then we're probing them to see, is there a disease that we can see with our eye and around the gum line? I mean, it's quite a process and it's not just a dental cleaning. Yeah, I think the word, dental to describe what we're doing. And that totally underestimates the time, skill, and talent needed to complete the procedure. So a comprehensive oral and radiographic evaluation under general anesthesia is probably better wording to describe it to the client.

It's not just getting your dog's clean. It's not what you think the groomer may or may not be able to do. There's a lot more to it. E.K. E.K. Laugh a lot. Casser Othames. Little food for your soul.

Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful. Laugh a little more thing. Tighten up your corned. Said E.K. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown. All right. I got four questions to ask your friends or your kids around the dinner table or your significant other.

whoever you're hanging out with, your co-workers, like this just little conversation starters that could be good. And we do high-low around the dinner table a lot. When my niece was here, she had a friend visiting her for the weekend. And we were doing high-low. And her friend said, oh, I love rose thorn bud. And you share the rose of what's going on in your life at the moment, which is a recent success. Like, it's just, it's already there. It's happened. It's awesome. You share a thorn, which is a current challenge. that you have and then you share a bud, like what's budding in your life? What's an opportunity with something you're looking forward to? And so those are three questions right there.

What's your rose? What's your thorn and what's your bud? So I'll ask you. Okay, my rose right now is more about my children, but as a mom, that's, you know, it's for me. We got really good teachers this year. And last year we had a very difficult year, so we were nervous about it. And it's just eliminated so much trust for me.

I think even just, just, acknowledging that and having gratitude for it is huge. Yeah, this woman's amazing. It reminds me of taking all the little things in your day and looking at like what's going right because sometimes we can get wrapped up in what's going wrong. That's an easy thing to sort of overlook like, okay, yeah, we got teachers. They're good. Like on to the next, but it's pausing and thinking, oh, gosh, this actually really is going to be so great for our year. And I'm very, very thankful. You really notice it when you didn't have a great year the year before. It matters. Yeah. I guess. It's probably something I've not really thought much about or taken for granted because I've

typically had good teachers. What about a thorn? I think I have arthritis. That is definitely a thorn. I have this burning sensation in my knee. It almost feels like a sunburn. And I don't run. I walk every day.

So it could either be runner's knee, but I don't run or arthritis. And all signs are pointing towards arthritis. So I officially bought an arthritis brace the other day. It can come up at any age to finish. on what's been going on. I feel like sometimes when it's going to rain, my joints will flare up, but I definitely don't have arthritis. But yeah, I know some teenagers that really deal with it. It can be crippling. It's debilitating. You know, I went down the WebMZ rabbit hole and I have to just turn it off. What about a bud for you, an opportunity? I have a really exciting brand deal

coming up. Can you say who? I haven't like finalized it, but Ziplog bags. Oh, that's exciting. Isn't that fun? It's, it was something I had on my vision board. to get more brand deals. And yeah, we started talking on Instagram with all my recipes. And yeah, there's an opportunity there. So it's silly, but it's exciting. Well, my rose would be Stevenson getting baptized last weekend. That just seeing a beautiful rose lines up with that because there was probably some thorns and buds in that and to see the growth that he's had and how far he's come and him making that commitment and wanting to. And just how excited he was and seeing friends that showed up to celebrate him,

probably had 10 buddies there. That's a core memory. That came. Yeah. And watching them hug him and high five him and pray over him. Also, he's turning 14 this weekend. So that's a rose as well. A thorn for me would be, I love my daughter, Stasheera lover.

She's amazing. Just a recent little thorn was she put Hina all over. her face right before the baptism. Hena, like a Hanna tattoo that lasts for weeks. Right. Well, according to Google, because I was freaking out trying to Google, how long is this going to last and we need to get it off ASAP? And it said anywhere from four days to three weeks. Oh, yeah. Depending on how long you leave the Hena on because you have to let it set for 12 hours. Luckily, we got it off in time to where it didn't do much permanent stuff. But, I mean, I was getting baby oil and lemon and scrubbing and all the things.

That's kind of hilarious. Hilarious. But Ben's family was coming in town. Oh, yeah. For the baptism, there was me family photos. Time and place. Yeah. She was starting school two days after that.

And her new job, she's a hostess. And I said, you're front facing at a restaurant. You were literally the face of the restaurant. And you have Hannah tattoo all over your face, which is beautiful in some cultures, not your culture. Right. But it's also typically on your hand. Yeah, well, she put it on the face. That's hilarious.

And then my bud would be an opportunity that I have might be that I just saw a sign to get another cat. Because there's this big headline that said having a cat reduces risk of a heart attack by 30%. So I'm like, what an opportunity for me? I wonder what dogs do. Well, I love my dog, but she sort of stresses me out sometimes. And my cat doesn't stress me out at all. Maggie is pretty great. And I am not a cat person.

And Maggie's wonderful. I will second that. sitting here with us now. So if you're looking for your sign to get a cat, a 10-year study conducted by the University of Minnesota's Stroke Institute, found that having a feline friend can reduce the risk of a heart attack by over 30%. These scientists followed over 4,000 people and discovered that cat owners had much lower risk of cardiovascular disease. So bring on the cats. Yeah. And then the final question for this section, so again, you're playing this game with your girlfriends, your kids, you do Rose Budthorn, and then if you did not know the day you were born, how old would you be?

Okay, I have two answers. Mentally, I'm like 87. I feel like I know a lot just having such a crazy childhood, you know? I remember being 18 saying to my mom, do you feel 50 or however old she was, she wasn't 50, 40? And she was like, no, I feel the same way I felt when I was 18. So there's a part of me that still feels hip, but I realize very quickly I'm not sometimes. But I think if I was in a room by myself in my head, I'm still like 18. So it's a double answer.

I'm 87 and 18. Oh, nice. I kind of like that. You got the wisdom, but you're still young and free and fun and all the things. A dead giveaway that you're older, according to Gen Z, is if you wear high heels when you go out. Because now, like see, I don't anymore. That's the thing. Like I feel like I fall into a lot of the Gen Z trends.

It's probably because you spend a lot of time on TikTok. Yeah. So you know what's up. Yeah. I know. Well, now I'm like, okay, I got to start wearing my sneakers and I go out because I am just aging myself when I'm putting on my heels because I still feel like that's what you do to go out. So heads up.

Put on the sneakers. And this is not me trying to look young. And this is me saying like, thank God. The younger generation. Their generation is very smarter, not harder. Yeah. Like why would you walk down Broadway in hills if you didn't have to be? too. We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, so losers.

What up, everybody. I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. So 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. 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 Soar Losers.

I'll tell you this right now. There's a dad's group. See, Hard Pat. I'm not doing the dad's text thread. No, no, there's no text. There's no communication. It is just the first Thursday of every month, we go out for drinks. And I don't know, like, what a start to the month? Hey, Paul, yeah, I'm hung over his shit. Got drunk first, Thursday. What a way to start August.

Go and get slaughtered. I love it, man. Welcome to dudes. Welcome to dudes. Listen. And so I don't talk to these people. This is how, like, I know some of the dads in the neighborhood. Like, I have their numbers and I text them like that awkward thing about, hey, I heard nothing but thugs go to this school. When I see a school sign in his yard and no.

reply because I don't really know them. It's just the first Thursday of every month. This guy sends out an email and here's the great thing about guys. You know it's the first Thursday of every month. We don't send it three days in advance and say, hey, anybody want to go to this place to grab a drink at, you know, 8 o'clock on Thursday? He sends it out at noon on Thursday and says, hey, tonight we're meeting here. Bro code. So this first Thursday of August, we.

get an email. Tensel and Tangle? Hey guys, I'm out of town for work. Jesse, you think you could handle this meet up tonight? Jesse replies, hey, I'm in Arizona all week. Anybody else? So the guy sends it to me and says, hey, you want to organize something? Puts the pressure on me to get the dads together. Just name a spot. So I name a spot. Hey, let's meet at this restaurant. Barcelona wine bar? Eight o'clock. Boom, let's go.

Dude, what a turnout. Only problem is the restaurant closed at 9. Guys, make it quick. So we got there at 8, like 10, 8.10. And like 840, someone goes, you guys realize this closes at 9? I'm like, no. 845, what are the dad shows up? He was there for 15 minutes.

Yeah, you got to definitely check times. I've learned that with brunches. We regularly hit a 10.30. A lot of these push 11 when they open. It's definitely happened. where we'll get there at 10.30. Yep. Guys, we're going to go over there, grab a drink.

No reason. We're just here 30 minutes early and they're not open. So we go to a pre-bar before the brunch. You're like the people that when I worked at Sam's Club would line up outside the door 15 minutes before it opens. Like they have to have the paper towels right at 10. But here's the thing. We were spoiled when we live downtown because those places are breakfast slash brunch. So we would just turn them into a brunch.

Whereas the Midtown shit, bro, they're not pushing noon. I mean, if you want to get in and it'd be a good atmosphere, don't go a second before. Got it. But yeah. So the women do get together. But now the men, I got to admit, the men do get together. But they don't do it like the women. The women, like, they have a group.

My wife organized it. After she heard about the dad's group, she's like, well, I need a mom's group. They just go to someone's house and drink wine and eat, you know, snacks. That first guy that dipped out on you guys that said he was in Arizona or the other one, was busy. Yeah. Yeah, you can come over and drink my liquor cabinet or whatever beer you want. Just don't bang my wife. The only, we

did have one awkward one. We had one awkward one and it was... Thanks, Jim! It was last summer and they were like, hey, we're going to be over at Hector's house. He has a pool. I'm like, what? What? The kinky?

So it was like 12 dads in a backyard in the pool. No women with the hangers No no no because it was dad's night Hey Jim what's your wife up to And what was weird is she like to swim How many out of 12?

Like if you're going to a dude's night right If there's a pool involved I don't know if I'm going to get in if it's just dudes That's what I'm saying That's the question you have to ask yourself They did it on this TV show I watch And it was an all dude get together And they're all in the pool together

And it just looks gay which is fine there's nothing wrong with that I'm heterosexual though I don't try to get in a pool with five other dudes so then you had to decide like what what am I going to do like am I going to roll up in my bathing suit or am I going to be one that just hangs out on the side of the pool it's tough because if all the other dads are in you you feel ostracized I didn't know what it was going to be like I was like no way anybody's really

going to swim but I'm going to bring my swimsuit just in case every dude's flipping around out of the 12 dudes that showed up. Hey John, throw me a floatie. Well, first we just sat on the back patio, had a drink. Hey, Jim, dive board Cannonball. Had a drink. Then we had a second drink, and then

someone got the nervous like, hey, we're going to get in the pool? I was like, I mean, I'll get in. What guys are wearing a banana hammock? Another dude is like, I'm getting in. Guy gets in his boxer. One guy's like, I'll hang my feet over the edge. That's why you can't do it, dude.

And one guy was like, I'll bring a chair over there and watch you guys. That's what I'm doing. I'll throw my pole in the water. And so there was seven of us that got in the pool and three that put their feet over and two just sat in chairs. That's life. And I mean, I'm going to tell you what, I get a text from Garrett at least once every couple weeks. It says, hey man, you're going to any guys' pools tonight? Come on.

I will say the awkward part is the guy that holds. hosted that night that had us over and had us in his pool. I've never seen him since. He ain't, he ain't come around. Yeah. Usually those gatherings lead to other things awkward when they don't. Well, it's just like, all right, man, well, I'm going to go. You know what I mean?

Like, I'm done swimming. You got a towel I can dry off with? All right, cool. Thanks. Here's your towel back, man. But he hadn't been to another dad's get-together in over a year. Anytime you want that towel back. Yeah, I'll just drop it off on your porch.

Tomorrow, man. Like, stuck it in the front lawn. Iron man, it's been six months. I just found this in the laundry basket. There you go. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

Hey, it's Mike Dee. And this week, A Movie Mike's movie podcast, my wife, Kelsey and I gave our movies of the month the best and worst movies that we saw in July, letting you know what is worth your money to go see in theaters, what you should wait to stream at home, and what you should avoid altogether. I also gave my spoiler-free review of the new M-Night-Chamalan movie trap, so be sure to check out this full episode. But right now, here's just a little bit of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. What was the best movie you saw in July?

No question. Twisters. It's a movie that we went to the theater twice to see. We have seen it twice in theaters now. I would go again. I do want to see it in the 4DX now because we saw it in IMAX. We saw it in Standard. And right after Twisters came out, Deadpool and Wolverine came out,

and it took all of the screenings of 4DX out. But it's coming back for a week. Could I convince you to go see it for a third time? I've never done that. I don't think ever. The only movies I've seen twice recently, one was Blue Beetle because we took my mom to go see it. We saw Black Panther.

twice once together and once with my family. And then before that, I think the last movie I saw twice in theaters was probably up. But Twisters was... No question. Could we go to the 40X? Because I looked into it. Some of the 40X have where you wear the 3D glasses too, so it's like fully immersive. See, I can't do that.

I don't think Twisters is that way. I think it's just all the effects, the rumbling chairs, the wind, the spit in your face. I think I would turn the water feature off. I think you can, yeah, you can control some of the levels. You could twist my arm. I just think if there's any movie that you would go see in 40X, I think it had to be that one. I mean, I'm not complaining about seeing Twisters for a third time. Worst case scenario, we leave if it's too.

Because I think you could probably turn off the entire seat, right? I mean, you look a little lame when everybody else is having fun and you're just sitting there in a normal chair. I've just heard that like some people get motion sick. Oh, yeah, the motions. Because you don't like roller coasters. Coasters. I get so anxious. I had to convince you in L.A. had to get on the Simpsons ride.

And that's a virtual reality, right? So you're not really going up and down. It's just motion. But my thing is with glasses, the older I've gotten, the more I get motion sick. Like, I went on a cruise with my family twice. And the first time I was perfectly fine. And then the last time we went, I was like, oh, I don't feel great. And then you and I went on that sunset cruise in Cabo.

Oh, yeah. And about 30 minutes in, I was like, this is a mistake. Like, I just felt terrible. And fun fact about that, I. went downstairs to the bathroom because I thought I was going to be sick. And I slept and fell. Artoon style. Came back almost crying.

It wasn't. The views were great. Kappa was beautiful, but I just don't do well with boats. The picture we took at those famous arches was like, oh, look, they had a perfect trip.

And then that was a one fun part of it. We do have, we have those pictures framed. They're great pictures. But yeah, real story was, I was miserable. It was like unlimited drinks too with our ticket.

And I was up there like, can I get a Sprite? Sprite, for a word. That was like a seven-up summer. thing. So yeah, I'm... You sound like that TikTok sound.

4.30. If y'all haven't seen that, it's like a senior dog. And then the sound is the person being like when my senior dog thinks it's time for dinner. What time did you say dinner was? Four? Four 30. 4.30? Okay, thanks.

What time did you say we were eating at 4.30? 4.30. Oh, 430. Okay. Thank you. But yeah, I feel like the motions... I'd be willing to give it a... though, if you're willing to leave if I don't feel good.

I could be convinced. So still a five out of five. 10 out of 10. A second time in theaters, I picked up on more things. I still won't spoil it for anybody. I like going back to watch a movie because I know it's coming and then I can pay attention to those small little details that I didn't, you know, catch the first time, put all the pieces together.

And I think after watching it for a second time, I did feel more of that camaraderie that I said it kind of lacked from the first one where I'm like, okay, I think it takes a few. few times to watch something to really feel that because I didn't really get it chase it. I didn't get that chemistry the first time. I thought it was more focused on the two leads. But as I rewatch it, I was like, oh, yeah, there is some good camaraderie here. I still don't think it has the memorable quotes like the first one will have. There are some parts. But I also don't feel like the first one has much like tension.

Yeah. If you catch my draft. Tension. I would rather just say sexual tension than ever. hear you bark on this podcast again. Please stop. So for my best, I always like to pick a different one than you. But I think if I've seen the movie twice, so I think it would be Twisters.

Wow, we're going to have the best. No, I decided to go with, because I think I went into Twister with really high expectations that were met. But for my best, I'm going to go with the most unique in-theater experience that I had that I think was the most memorable of July, even aside from Twisters. It was long legs. because I've been looking for a scary movie that I could really immerse myself in.

And also in a year where everybody's saying that there's so many remakes and reboots when it comes to just any movie, especially in the horror genre, we usually get like, you know, 10 Jasons or Halloweens or whatever. So when it came to Long Legs, I was like,

this is a great original horror movie. Didn't really reinvent the wheel, but I just loved it from the moment it started to the moment it finished. And I think it is a movie you have to kind of let yourself buy into it because if you were just to see like a still from it or if you went into it thinking I'm going to poke fun of this and it's not going to scare me then you're going to be like this isn't scary at all but I think it goes to long legs

mainly because I don't want to pick twisters the same as you you could pick twisters because especially if I go see it a third time but what was the worst for July because it wasn't really stacked month as I'll recap it here at the end we saw it was a great month I'm just going to go Beverly Hills cop four is that what it was you turned it on on vacation and I was like, this is, as my little brother would say, trash. I honestly thought it was going to be better. Well, I don't know why I did. I just thought Eddie Murphy coming back that he would.

I really think what it came down to is I was never a fan of that franchise. I think I kind of missed a boat on that, you know, being an 80s franchise. Bad Boys was better. Yeah, and I feel like those movies ended up being kind of similar. Like old cops come back, try to do young things still. and I just don't really get into kind of the fun nature of the Beverly Hills cop movies.

That entire movie was just him finding different vehicles to be chased in or to chase other people in. And it was like him in a golf car, him in a helicopter. And that was really the entire movie. And it felt like it was a straight-to-cable type movie, which I feel that was like the biggest gripe

I've had with Netflix recently is it just feels like, man, just putting out really generic stuff. It's like a lifetime movie a little bit. Yeah, but for dudes. Listen, I used to love a lifetime movie. Give me a Sunday afternoon and a lifetime movie marathon slaps.

Okay, so I kind of want to hot back, though. So the first miscarriage, you felt kind of like overwhelmed. It's okay. I love the thing of track. Same. I got to come back. Yeah, the first one I felt so overwhelmed. I was just like letting that part of me that was not a mom, like was never going to not be a mom again.

I thought that first way the first miscarriage, too. Actually, I was, when I first found out I was pregnant, the first time, it was not excitement. No. Because I wasn't ready yet. No, yeah. I just was scary. But then the miscarriage was sad.

The miscarriage was devastating. Because then you finally get on board with it. It was the morning. I felt excited enough to entertain a conversation with Dylan about like, so if we had a boy, would you want to name it? Like that was the day I lost the pregnancy.

So devastating. And I was shocked. I've said this before on other, I think I did like a podcast of my miscarriage one time, where I said this, but I was shocked at how devastated I was for how anxious I was when I found out I was pregnant. And that kind of just made me go, okay, I want to start trying. Like, you're never going to be ready.

You're just as ready as you're going to be before you just actually do it. So I'm there. This was really freaking sad. Maybe we're more ready for this than I thought. And, you know, I was very comforted. So many people told me like, a lot of women have one. and then, you know, they have, then you get pregnant right after. And then you have twins.

And so I was like, okay, one is normal. One is super normal. It was a chemical pregnancy too. Like I never even made it to the doctor. So like one chemical pregnancy before you had babies is like so normal. So normal. Just getting the uterus ready. Yes, 100%.

You're really fertile like the few months after you have one. So I was like definitely devastated. I took two or three weeks and and God is really nice to me. I've told this story before, but I just feel like I need to say it again. This girl, it was Drew Buldered, his wife actually. And Drew Balders, by the way. What about an independent artist? I know.

I'm so excited for him and proud of him. That could, although he's very big. Yeah, he's a huge man, but I'm so stoked for him. And you have some, you've written with him a bunch, right? Yeah, we were both signed to this music like back in the, we kind of signed. Yeah, publishing company. Amazing. So, yeah, we were, we were publishing fan for a while, but I'm, I'm so stoked for

But anyway, his wife, I had talked to her in maybe like a year, a year and a half, maybe two years. And it was the night after my miscarriage, my first miscarriage. And she texted me, girl, so random, hope you're doing good. But I had the most vivid dream last night that you had a baby. And I was like, well, that's crazy because I lost a baby last night. And she said, this is just, this has to be Jesus reassuring you. She said, I saw it so clearly. You and Dylan were in the hospital.

You were looking down at a baby. and you looked so in love. She was like, so just take that as a promise that, like, that's what I saw. And so I thought, wow, God, like, thank you for this gift, like, this picture that you could give me, like, I know what's going to happen. So I feel like once I went through the two weeks-ish

of, like, heavy grief after that first one, I was excited and, like, hopeful to try again. and this time good. So my second one. And also no one prepares you for like the grief when you're trying and you take a test and it's negative. That's like the worst. Like no one prepares you. You spend your whole, especially as a Christian kid, you spend your whole life trying to not get pregnant.

And then like you start trying to get pregnant and you're like, wait, what is this mind effery? It's just like. There's a whole other one when you get a positive one again though because you can't fully be happy. Yeah, it was, I got my second positive and I was like, cautiously happy. It's always a cautious excitement. Yes, cautiously happy. And that one was kind of wild. I had like a scare.

They thought I was having a molar pregnancy, which is basically like you're, instead of a baby growing, like your uterus fills up with like tumors. And it's like, they were throwing words like chemotherapy around. It was awful. But it was a false alarm. I was not having a molar pregnancy. I was just way earlier than they thought I was. So we ended up, I ended up making it to eight weeks with that one. We saw the heartbeat.

So yeah, that was super, super exciting. And I remember, like, all my friends were like, you need to get on progesterone. You need to get on progesterone, which is, like, obviously, the hormone that helps pregnancy stick. And they were like, literally, my doctor put me on progesterone. That's what helped me keep the baby. So everybody kept telling you that. So I asked my doctor at like six weeks. I was like, we saw the heartbeat.

And I was like, should I get a progester just to make sure that, you know, it helps develop? And he was like, I mean, if you want it, I'll give it to you. But I, you have a heartbeat without it. So like, and I just had this thought where I was like, God, I trust you. Like, you brought me this far without it. No, like, we'll just, I won't get on it. Like, we'll continue. Two weeks later, we go back and there's no more heartbeat.

and then three days after that is when I wrote champagne and sushi. And that one I felt pissed. I was so mad. Like I didn't feel sad. Like I was sad, but I was like wildly angry. Who were you mad at? God. I was just like, you're a dick.

I told him. And you say that in the song. Yeah. About, wait, how do you say that? You say it so well. I said, um, it's the bridge. It's so good. It's, um, it's, um,

Oh yeah It comes out of the second chorus It's like Right now my only silver lions Or champagne and sushi Lighting up a joint Watching a movie Uh

Asking God what the fuck is he doing Cussing when I pray Daring him to sue Or telling him to sue me And hearing him say Let it all out You'll never lose me That's like

If that's not like God in the raw form I'm like thank you so much For like Not acting like we have to be perfect When we're having the worst Moment of our life That you can, like, actually yell at God and tell God, like, what the actual hell?

Like, I'm so fucking mad at you right now. Yeah. Like, why is this happening? Like, that's a relationship with God. Yeah. That's a real relationship with God. That's what I tell myself whenever I feel guilty for telling God to fuck you. But who hasn't?

But it's not like, it's like you're just, it's like a parent when you're so mad at your parent. But like, you know they still love you and they're like looking out for you or whatever. But it's like, God, it's like, how can this happen? God? Like, why am I going through this? Thanks for listening to this week's Sunday sampler. Follow the Nashville Podcast Network on Instagram.
