Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast. podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, Sunday sampler time.
Starting point is 00:03:15 We're giving you some highlights from some of the Nashville Podcast Network podcasts. And also, there are really no new podcast today anyway because it's Sunday. You're going to like the Bobbycast. I sat down with a really prolific, very famous. He's killing it right now. Songwriter and producer who did the Morgan Wall and stuff, a bunch of that, the Post Malone record. In the vet's office with Dr. Josie, she talked to an ER vet, which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:03:37 on Take This Personally, which is Morgan's podcast. Morgan's good friend and country artist Julia Cole came by and they talked about heartbreak. Julia lets people in under broken off engagement for the first time. Morgan talks about her breakup. So let's start with that. Here's a clip of this week's episode of Take This Personally. I'm dubbing this, the heartbreak episode because I have known Julia my entire Nashville life. She was one of my very first friends here.
Starting point is 00:04:26 You guys may know Miss Julia. Nicole as a very famous artist in Nashville, has lots of followings on TikTok and Instagram and viral videos and she's just a giant star. But she's my good friend and all I know her as is Julia. And the crazy thing though for Julia and I, as we've both seen each other through some really, really tough relationships. The good, the bad and the ugly. Yes. We've had to milk some some heart breaks and have some girls nights out to solve our problems. So I've had a lot of conversations with people after this, in this past year, and I've had people telling me that you're supposed to, you're supposed to date multiple people. Obviously,
Starting point is 00:05:07 you're not going to a certain level here. This is like going to dinner, going to coffee. It's like you're supposed to, you know, meet different people until you've decided that you really, really like someone. I've never in my life felt like I could do that because it felt like like loyalty is something so important to me and so so special that it was like oh well if if i'm even texting this person i should probably not be texting anybody else and that is like i mean i'd honestly like to know people's opinions on that and your opinion on that because i really don't know like what's the standard this is not this isn't courting like it was back in our grandparents day and age where you date you know 10 different people at once and then like all of a sudden one would just like
Starting point is 00:05:51 propose and you get married. I have multiple things on this. One, I don't think it's a bad thing that you want to be fiercely loyal. I have that in me. I'm going to date somebody and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that that person feels all of that loyalty all the time. Yeah. And I've never cheated on anybody.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I don't have that capability in my bone. Doesn't make much sense, does it? No. Like, just break up. You know, I don't understand. Just literally just break up and date the next person you wanted to date. Just call me and say, hey, it's over. I'd be like, okay, I'm going to cry, but like, whatever, stupid.
Starting point is 00:06:25 But I do think dating people is important. I have gone on so many dates in my life. And I'm not talking like even third, fourth, fifth dates. I'm talking about first, second, third dates. I've been on so many because I wanted to learn what I wanted. And this is a really interesting thing that got like brought up that will that will spiral into this. I learned so much about myself by dating other people of different cultures of different
Starting point is 00:06:58 religions of different backgrounds of different upbrings. I learned so many things of what I wanted, what I didn't want. And I can narrow that down so heavily that that's why it's so hard for me now to date because I know fiercely what I want. All of those multiple dates of saying my favorite color and walking through the small talk and saying, yes, I'm a vegetarian. Where'd you go to college? Yeah. Let's go through them a million times over. And as much as they sucked and I hated getting dressed up and I hated getting ready just to have something fail again. Maybe be nice,
Starting point is 00:07:35 maybe be a waste of your two hours. Yeah. I did, I did kind of change my mentality when I was dating probably my mid-20s or I was like, I'm doing everything for the plot. My whole life became I'm doing it for the plot because I genuinely could not go on date. and like not think I was getting punked by Ashton Coucher. There were moments where I was like, this isn't real. There's no way. But it was. So when I would leave those, I'd be like, I did it for the plot.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Great story. Great story. Never again. Yeah. But I learned so much about who I was. And it's funny because I had this conversation with my sister on the phone. I said, I'm so tired of being these men lessons. And I'm the heartbreak.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah. Like, why am I the one who I took all the time? I didn't hurt anybody and I took all the time to figure out stuff about myself. But these men come in relationships with me and I have to be the one how they get their lesson. I'm this emotional punching bag for them to just figure things out. I think we go into relationships this day and age so carelessly. I think dating stops that. think going on dates casually stops you from going in half-hearted or not knowing what you want.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Like when all those people were saying, you should love yourself before you're in a relationship. I think we almost had it right because I think you can love yourself in a relationship. I think you can learn self-love with friends, with a partner. I don't know that you necessarily need to be completed in self-love to be in a relationship. I think you need to know yourself. Oh, yeah. Fundamentally. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:20 your non-negotiables, your boundaries, what you stand for, who you are as a human being. Because so many people don't. I think you have to grow up a little bit to know all of that. Yeah. And I'm seeing a lot of people, you know, dive in super young. I'm from the South. I'm from Texas. Like I know a lot of people who got married super young.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And it's like, I am not the same person that I was even two years ago. You're listening to In the Vets Office with Dr. Josie Horchak. Now I figured we can really dive into all things wellness. I want to keep it simple, but still feel like people get informed. And so I thought we would be good to like break it down into two sections. So I figure the first section we can just talk about vaccines. Like what in the heck are these vaccines that are being recommended to me? I feel like we just come in and we're like they're due for X, Y, and Z.
Starting point is 00:10:25 And people are just like, okay, yeah, like you say so. let's do it. But I feel like it's good to understand why your pet is getting these vaccinations. So the first, the big one, the big shebang, the non-negotiable for me is the rabies vaccine. Definitely. I think most of our clients, if they're going to know any vaccine, it's going to be the rabies vaccine. Yes. And the thing for me is that I didn't realize really until I got to vet school is like, rabies is real. You hear about it. And you're like, we don't see that anymore. Like, that's from like old yellow. or like a decade ago. But like, it's real.
Starting point is 00:10:59 We just had a case here in Tennessee. And if you contract rabies as a human and you don't get treated right away, like you will die, there is not a cure. And we see it. Yeah, I saw a case of rabies in the ER when I was working there. That's terrifying. Yeah, terrifying. And I also think, I guess I didn't really understand this until I was like practicing
Starting point is 00:11:21 in general practice too, but like this vaccine is required by the state. Yes. I don't think it's required by all states, but in Tennessee, it is required for you to vaccinate your dog or your cat by six months of age. Yeah. And if you don't, and they find out, it's a class C misdemeanor. I didn't know that either. So, yeah, it's the law. It's the law.
Starting point is 00:11:42 It's really important. It's a public health risk. And if you don't do it, like we kind of have to look like the bad guys. We're like, okay, you don't have to. We can't force you into it, but you have to understand the ramifications of it. and you have to sign a document. So it's a big deal. What was the case that you saw in the ER that had rabies?
Starting point is 00:12:02 It was actually rabies was not at the top of anyone's list thinking this dog had rabies because, again, no one actually understands that it's real. This dog came in for seizures and it was just neurological. And in the ER, like we saw seizures once a day. Yeah. So having a dog come in for seizures is not abnormal. So we kind of just went through the normal protocol of getting the dog hospitalized, getting them started on seizure meds.
Starting point is 00:12:33 And along the line, a lot of people came in contact with this dog. And the dog just wasn't responding to any of the seizure meds, which is unusual, especially for a dog presenting procedures the first time. So the neurology service ended up getting involved. and the only way to test for rabies, unfortunately, in dogs is by testing a piece of their brain tissue. And so oftentimes we don't get a diagnosis until they're already deceased. Yeah. Just for all of you out there, like, I know this is gruesome, but the reality is, like, we have to cut their head off and send it into the lab. That's how we test for it.
Starting point is 00:13:14 So it's not an easy test. And if there is any suspicion that your pet has rabies, like, that's the way we test. for it. So even more reason to get them vaccinated. Right. So this dog ended up being hospitalized for a while coming into contact with a lot of different staff members. And then it ended up, I think, being euthanized because it wasn't responding. And then we found out later that she wasn't up to date on her rabies vaccine. And so she was sent for testing, came back positive. And anyone who was in contact with her had to get the rabies prophylaxis. vaccine treatment, which is intense. And expensive. Very expensive. Yeah. I don't think your insurance
Starting point is 00:13:56 covers that. So very scary, very scary because, I mean, just coming into contact with the saliva of a dog who's seizing is very easy. Very easy. And rabies is transmitted most commonly through bites, but through body leaf fluids. So very, very scary, very real. Another thing I hear owners say is, oh, well, my dog doesn't really go outside. And you just had a case or someone in the hospital had a case last week of a cat having a bat in its mouth that got in the house. It wasn't my case, but yeah, indoor only cat. So most people would be like, why do I need to vaccinate my indoor only cat for rabies? But the family, I guess, saw the cat with a live bat in its mouth.
Starting point is 00:14:43 He's like running by like, hey guys, look what I got. And bats are the number one. common carrier of rabies. So that cat had to come into the hospital and get boosted for its rabies vaccine. Even though it was up to date, we booster them early. Yeah. And then, yeah, not only for the safety of the pets, but like if you have kids in your home and your cat gets rabies, like, you know, it's, yeah, you got to vaccinate them so that we can be protected as well because vaccination against rabies and people is not common. No. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Yep. That's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

Starting point is 00:18:10 It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, 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.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know. The cat, just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who.
Starting point is 00:19:25 who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I found him to be very sweet. I think that's a great word. Like, I think I've had three occasions where I've spent more than three minutes with them.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And very, like, sweet and kind feeling. And he felt like he was sensitive to what I wanted to talk about or my. And I did not expect that from somebody who was. It didn't matter who it was, but somebody who was just so wildly famous. Yeah. You know, having been around other people that are famous, it's usually not that way. A lot of times, you'll know this better than anyone.
Starting point is 00:20:46 People that are wildly famous, they're that way because they demand all the attention. They demand, it's very much a me-centric world in the world of entertainment. But I did not, any time that I was with him, I did not find that at all, which was extremely different than what I was used to. Yeah, I would say he kind of stuck with that, too. I mean, he's the same. And he, you know, is just like conscious of the people around them.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And, you know, obviously a big, yes, ma'am, yes, sir, to everybody making sure. You know, he'll also sign more autographs than most people. Like, he'll sit there and do it for everybody. Whereas it's like, you know, I've been with a lot of artists who, you know, you've got to leave. You've got to go to the next thing. Which is not even anything bad on them. They're actually busy. He came and played the Riemann Show with me.
Starting point is 00:21:29 It was super cool. And he stayed longer than any other artist. He took pictures with every. person. And I posted about it. And I was like, and a little bit, it was to some of these guys that won't do anything. It's like, you got a guy that's 20x famous than you.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And he spent a time with every single person that has stayed back to say hello. And again, I found that to be super cool. I'm assuming you guys still work well together. I mean, you're doing the record. As we talk, it's not out yet, but by the time this is hurt, it is out. And so how long, how many years have you?
Starting point is 00:22:04 you guys work together now? It's a long time. Yeah, technically a long time. We definitely spent some time not working together as well. Got it. But that being the case. How long have you known? Yeah, we started working.
Starting point is 00:22:17 We probably did our first song, either late 2014 or early 2015. 10 years, huh? Yeah. That's crazy. So 2015, we were locked in, really doing a lot of stuff. You know, technically,
Starting point is 00:22:28 and I don't know where it says it, I guess you got to buy the physical copy of his first album. Technically, I'm an executive. producer on that album. I didn't really do all the work necessary. It's a really executive producer, but that was kind of where we were locked in on his first album. And then, you know, kind of went separate ways for a little bit. And then, you know, I caught, I think I put a song on his album two albums ago. It was a random song that I sent him, you know. But we weren't, you know, we weren't actually working as much. I was
Starting point is 00:23:00 living in Nashville doing my thing. He was doing his thing. And then, uh, We had talked about doing a country album back in 2015. And, you know, I go back and forth on power manifestation shit, but we did say album six. That was the conversation where, like, your sixth album could be country. And you could do a pull-a-reverse Taylor Swift and, like, be the biggest pop star. And then do a country album.
Starting point is 00:23:25 So when he asked me to do this album, it was cool because I was just like, wait a minute, how many albums have you had? He's like, five. I was like, shit. What do you mean you go back and forth on the manifestation? What are your two areas you live in? No, some of it doesn't really make sense. I understand that if you're saying something and thinking about it,
Starting point is 00:23:41 you'll actively start making moves towards it. But some of it's just kind of ridiculous. Like, and it feels like it shouldn't be real. But it might be? Yeah, but it might be. And that's why I don't like. Because then I get into these weird, who's got stronger manifestation,
Starting point is 00:23:57 if we're both manifesting the opposite. I started looking at that. Yeah, and I think that too, like, if two people are praying opposite things, even in that way. Right. Who wins? Yeah, it's like,
Starting point is 00:24:09 so sometimes like someone will say something to me and I'll be like, oh, like, you know, take that back. Or don't say that. You know? Yeah. Or like, I'll be like, oh, your manifestation power is weak, so I'm not worried. Because like people will say some shit, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Yeah, I think about too, and again, this is just my weird brain going down places that I probably spend way too much time that makes nothing good for me. But I'll think about either if it's manifestation or, prayer or however you want to even describe that that communication within yourself or to others but you'll see somebody on facebook like hey we could use all these prayers but do all these what's
Starting point is 00:24:45 the number that becomes all these is all these more than one does if it's just one does one count as equal as all these interesting i think about that a lot because you know if you get 10,000 people to pray for something does that mean it's more powerful than if you just prayed for it by yourself and if so let's we need to get a prayer go fund me just for the bigger causes then and get more people So, yeah, I get tired thinking about stuff like that. That's interesting. And it's also that you bring up prayer because it's a separate thing. Because I'll pray too, but I don't, almost exclusively, I don't ask for anything in prayer.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Like I'll pray more for a situation. Okay, rephrase. I'll ask for somebody who maybe is hurt or somebody who maybe is going through some shit. But, you know, or a safety thing. But it's never like, man, can I get a number one song? I'm not asking for something. shit like that. Cast a row thing.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Little fool for your soul. Life ain't always pretty, but hey, it's pretty beautiful things. Laugh a little more things. Tighten up your core thing. Said E.K. You're kicking it with four things. With Amy Brown.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I think that everyone's been through different seasons of life where they get stuck maybe in a pattern or cycle where they can realize there's a lot. a negativity happening. But once you can make that shift, you can really see the difference. Even just believing that what does this circumstance make possible, believing that something can come from this, some sort of growth, some sort of change that is going to be positive. Of course, I didn't want my mother to have cancer. I didn't want to lose her. But a lot of amazing things came from that. I can even think back to my childhood. I didn't want my parents to get divorced. But a lot of amazing things happened from that. My mom's life was completely
Starting point is 00:26:46 transformed because of the divorce. That's when we finally started going to church. We didn't go before that. And then she became a completely different person, not being able to get pregnant. Now I've got two beautiful adopted children, now 17 and 14, and things that seemed negative and hard, but what did they make possible? And I think just maintaining that faith, that hope, that there's a bigger picture here. That's right. And if you can find a way to put yourself at a different point in the story, your suffering. What you just said is it turns out to be true that all the research that looks at suffering and cancer patients are a great example has been well studied where a huge majority, like way more than you can imagine, of people who are going through cancer, even that ultimately
Starting point is 00:27:30 succumb to it, say things like what you just described of your mother, that they actually find that they've grown through it, they've found purpose through it, that their lives have become enriched by it. So it's almost like suffering is not optional if you want to be a really well-rounded and fully developed human. It's almost necessary. Like you have to go through hard things if you want to become a really fully developed person. And so we find gratitude through those hard moments because we recognize that they've given us experiences and opportunities to change and grow and learn and connect with other people in ways that we wouldn't have been able to do if we hadn't gone through suffering. And it's interesting because just like we talked about a while ago with quantum physics,
Starting point is 00:28:10 like this idea that two things can be true at the same time, like it's never going to be okay. that I lost my son. Like I'm just as sad and broken about that 11 years after it happened than I was the day it happened. You're not okay with you losing your mom and you never will be. But at the same time, it is true that I've grown, I've written books,
Starting point is 00:28:29 I've connected with people all over the world. Like a lot of the things that I am, I'm a much more compassionate physician and husband and father and grandfather now than I was before I lost my son. All of that because of having suffered. So doesn't make it good. Doesn't make it right. you would trade it all for having your mom back or I'd trade it all for having my son back.
Starting point is 00:28:48 But that sort of secret sauce of life turns out to be this meaning that we find because we navigated through something hard. And on the brain science side, it's true too. Like you look at what makes resilience in the brain is this area called the mid-antier singular. And what they find is when you do hard things, it becomes easier for you to do hard things in the future, like all across the board. So you do something that's hard, even if you don't want to, your brain gets more resilient.
Starting point is 00:29:14 and you develop more willpower and you find more sort of joy in engaging in hard things the next time. So it's almost like you start saying, I'm ready for the next thing that's hurt, that it's going to hurt, because I know I can get through it because I've done it before. Is there a magic number of how many times we have to do something for that new neural pathway to be built, or is it different for everybody? Well, it's different for everybody, but on the basic physiology side, there's a structure in your brain called microtubules. and that's the stuff that makes new synapses, the little building blocks of new synapses. And they start happening within minutes of you trying something new or doing something new.
Starting point is 00:29:51 So that's why we always say on my show, like thoughts become things, because when you think about something, you actually make something in your brain, structurally make changes in your brain. And what happens is within minutes, you start laying down what's going to become ultimately the highway towards making a new habit or making a new process. But if you don't use it, continue to use that new thing. it disappears within about three weeks. And so in order to ingrain it and make it permanent, you have to engage in that thing over and over and over for a while.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Some people say 21 days, that's probably true for things that aren't sort of life or death. It's probably longer for things that are really hard, like giving up smoking or something probably takes longer than 21 days. But in terms of what's happening in your brain, it starts almost instantly in the first hour of you trying to make a change, a positive change in your life. You're making it structurally in your brain.
Starting point is 00:30:40 So that's encouraging. It gives us hope because we feel like we can't change. We feel like we're stuck. We inherited the genes we inherited. We went through the trauma that we went through. And that means that we can't ever change. But the truth is, as soon as you start trying to change, your brain's right there with you. Well, so then that's epigenetics.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Right. We have the ability to change certain parts. You're probably the better person to describe this. But I think I have a fear inside of me because both my parents had cancer that I'm going to get cancer. and sometimes that is a thought that will take over, and I immediately have to squash it and back up because just because they had it does not mean I will, but if I keep having those thoughts,
Starting point is 00:31:19 then I'm increasing the likelihood of something negative happening. That's right, because so if you think about the big picture, so epigenetics, if somebody's not familiar, is that the things that we think about and certain things that we go through and lifestyle choices can turn on or off genes, so to speak, up or down-regulate genes, This is the way the biochemists call it.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And what that means is the genetic material that you inherit from mom and dad is not guaranteed to be expressed or turned true in your life. So we know that from identical twin studies, for example. Identical twins often have very different length of life and very different disease profiles that they get. And it's because even though they have the same genetic starting point, they don't have the same lives. And so what that means is that your life has a lot of impact
Starting point is 00:32:02 in what genes get turned on and off. So if both your parents have cancer, for example, And you spend a lot of time worrying about that and stressing about it, your cortisol level is going to rise. And the systems in your body that fight cancer and do things on your behalf to try to avoid cancer are going to be depleted because you're spending so much time in a negative biochemical state. And your thoughts are becoming those things that are fighting against you and beating those cancer cells. So it's true that you can spend time in your brain thinking healthier thoughts and that will promote an environment that's going to produce a better. chemical environment to optimize the epigenetic opportunities that you have to turn things on and off and make your life as good as it can be.
Starting point is 00:32:45 We're going to do it live. We are the one, two, three, so are losers. What up, everybody? I am Lunchbox. I know the most about sports. I give you the sports facts. My sports opinions because I'm pretty much a sports genius. Y'all, it's Sisson.
Starting point is 00:33:03 I'm from the north. I'm an alpha male. I live on the north side of Nashville with Beazer, my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful. A lot of acreage. No animals. A lot of crops, hopefully soon.
Starting point is 00:33:13 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. Now they're going to remodel it and make it the hard rock. Forgot.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Tropicana, they're knocking down. A, stadium is going there. go. So we go to this lava show, 45 minute lava show and I'm like, hell yeah, hell yeah. And we just happened to see it because it was in the same parking lot as where we're eating at the soup
Starting point is 00:33:46 kitchen or whatever. At the soup kitchen, I mean it sounds like such a party. What are you guys doing? Like pregame drinks or what? I had some beers and had some soup. What on the soup kitchen sign enticed you guys have dinner there? My wife was doing research and someone on Reddit said
Starting point is 00:34:02 nine months later, I'm still thinking about the soup I had in this soup. And I'm like, oh, man, this must be amazing freaking soup. I'll do crap, but that's about it. But my wife is a, she loves soup. She loves it. Lobster Bisk. Ah, no, they had lamb soup. They eat a lot of lamb there because they have
Starting point is 00:34:25 lamb. They have more lambs, sheep, than they do humans in Iceland. Where's my flock? I tied it up here. Hopefully parking's good. That's kind of like what they sound like, but that's Canadian a little bit. So we go to the lava show and I'm like, all right, and the soup was okay, but it wasn't amazing. And I had three different kinds. I had the corn
Starting point is 00:34:41 and spinach. I had the fish curry one and some other one. And then we go to the lava show. And it's in a room and they give you protective glasses. You know what I mean? Because it's going to get so freaking hot. Right, we took off our clothes. So I'm like, 45 minutes of lava. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:34:57 All right. The lady closes the door, comes in. She starts talking, hi, my name is Rack-or-la. And I'm like, whoa, this is about to be awesome. Nice to meet you. I'm lunchbox. She's like, welcome to the lava show. The only place in the world where you can see real lava from a volcano up close. And I'm like, she goes, it's going to get so hot.
Starting point is 00:35:15 You're going to need those goggles to protect your eyes. That? And I'm like, hell. Yeah. Honey, take off your bra. So then she proceeded to stand up there for 15 minutes and give us a history of the town and the volcanoes that have erupted in that town. What the queef? And I'm like, okay, that's 15 minutes of my 45.
Starting point is 00:35:34 When are we going to get to the damn lava? Not bad. you still have 30 minutes of lava. Then we have 30 minutes of lava. She's like, honey, get ready to feel the rumble of the lava. And she goes, now. So before we get to the lava, let me show you a video. No, I'm not doing the tours with the damn video.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Show me 3D, bitch. Sorry, I'll delete that. And I'm like, okay, so now we're going to watch a video. So what was the video, right? It was a 15-minute video. We're at 30 minutes now. It was a 15-minute video showing exactly what she just. just talked about. That's bullshit.
Starting point is 00:36:09 So she talked about the history of the town. Then they made a little cartoon video for you to enjoy of what she just told you about. Nice learning about your town. Like either way, just either play. Show us the lava. Where's the, I wanted to get hot in here. Hot and here. Sheeper boring.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Mew. But I did learn if the volcano is going to erupt all the tourists. You meet at the church on top of the hill. That's the evacuation plant. All right. So where's the lava show? Exactly. Where is the lava show, Ray? Oh, that was it.
Starting point is 00:36:40 15 minute video? All right. She goes, all right, now should we get to the lava? And so she does. It comes rolling out of this, like, tube in the wall. And there's lava, and she starts picking it up with this stick. Now we're talking. And she's making little things.
Starting point is 00:36:56 And then it freezes, and she's cracking it, and she's picking it up. The lava's touching me. Then she brings out a big old ice thing, a piece of ice and puts it in the lava and makes it blow up like a a big balloon. This is a science project? Exactly what it was, Ray. Baking soda and food coloring. Dude, no, it was real lava.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Saw this in second grade. It was real lava. She got your ass. Did you feel the hot? Oh, I could feel the heat, man. So they must have just pump the, obviously, the heater on. No, no, they have to warm up. So what they do is they go get the...
Starting point is 00:37:29 Ray, they actually turned the heater like 110. They pretty much fucked us. No, no, they go get the rocks, like the ash from, like the actual volcanoes in the mountains. Okay. And they bring it in and they reheat it up and make it into lava. That's making it better. Awesome. Okay. She played with the lava for 10 minutes, then the show was over. See, you needed a little bit more of that. Oh, you think? Yeah. It is advertised as a 45-minute lava show. Was it ever lavying? No, it was lava. No, no, it was lava. It came out like lava, like it does out of a
Starting point is 00:37:59 volcano. Okay, that's pretty cool. I shouldn't have knocked it. It was pretty badass for 10 minutes, but advertise it as 10 minutes and then I get out. I don't need to Watch the damn video. I like, she had the lava like she's like having it rub on her. No, no, no. She had a metal pole because it was so hot. She was fully naked.
Starting point is 00:38:13 It was actually a lava tit show. No. No. And I'm like, wow, this is amazing, dude. Amazing. And we, then we're leaving. We got to drive to the hotel. We still got an hour to drive to the hotel.
Starting point is 00:38:32 And we get to the hotel. And guess what? They're already closed. You can't check in. Wait, it's your hotel. Oh, yeah, yeah. But in Iceland, nothing. it was only 10 o'clock, but they only
Starting point is 00:38:43 stay on duty till 8. That's my biggest fear of other countries. You never know when places clothes. And I'm like, uh, and everything, the lights are off, everything. We're like, how the hell do we get in our room? Break in. How do we do this? We already paid online. What do we do? Sleep under the volcano.
Starting point is 00:38:59 It's warm. So we bossed out our flashlights and we're looking under Matt. We're looking, I mean, we're looking. They're going to think you're robbing the place. I know. That's what I was worried about. Well, no shit. Like, I'm going around.
Starting point is 00:39:11 the back, like maybe there's a hidden door or something. You Americans in your crime rates, freeze! And then, no, they don't have police, man. I don't think they have guns. I don't think they have anything over in Iceland. It was, it was a, like, there's no one there. It is empty. And so then I, oh, wait, wait, what's that sign over there? It's on, on one of the windows that says, oh, sorry we're not here to greet you, but we close at 8 p.m. Just so you know, your cabin 5D, your key
Starting point is 00:39:39 is in the door. Excuse me? Anybody, polar bear sleeping in there right now? Dude. So you just go up and the key is in the door. Quite the security system. No, that's how nice it is in Iceland. They don't have any crime. They got nothing on nest. They have no problem. They just left the key in the door for us. What do you mean you were robbed? I don't know. The door was open.
Starting point is 00:40:01 It was awesome. I was like, how cool is this? Americans, of course, we tried to break in a back door. We're trying to break in a back door and they're like, hey, just go to your cabin, man. We left the key in the door. and you look and there was other cabins that just had the key in the door so there was other families that hadn't arrived yet. Honey, I'm going to go sleep in 5A if you don't mind. A win is a win. A win is a win.

Starting point is 00:45:16 Hey, it's Mike D. And this week, our movie Mike's movie podcast, my wife Kelsey and I did our movies of the month where we go through all the movies we watched in August. talked about the ones we recommend, best of the month, and the ones we don't recommend the worst of the month. I want to play you this of us talking about our favorite movies as the summer blockbuster season comes to an end. So be sure to check out this full episode. But right now, here's just a little bit of Movie Mike's movie podcast. Movies of the month for August, I feel like it's been one of the best months of the summer. Interesting. You don't? What was your favorite month? July. Oh, July, I think was my least favorite. July had Twisters and Deadpool.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Yeah, but that was two. And fly me to the moon. I feel like there are so many more in August. I'm looking at my list here and there's like eight movies. Interesting. That's a hot take. I thought August was way stronger, which August is usually the decline of the summer blockbuster season, but I felt like there were more hidden gems.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I have more fours in August than I did for July. I don't agree with that, but the last time I told you that your take was stupid, someone on the internet called me a not nice name. Is it because you love Twisters so much that we've now seen twice? Possibly we'll see for a third time in theaters. We have a code now to watch it at home, thanks to everybody at Universal, who sent us an awesome box if you didn't watch that on TikTok. It was the greatest package we've ever received.
Starting point is 00:46:32 But is it because you love that movie so much? No, there was just always something to see. It was like the first weekend we saw Despicable Me 4. Then there was fly me to the moon. Then there was Twisters. Then there was Deadpool and Twisters again. Like, there was great stuff in July. There was always something.
Starting point is 00:46:46 I feel like this month we kind of had to be like, okay, what's coming out this week? What are we going to see? And I think it's because we had lower expectations going into the movie. this month that I felt like, oh, this is a really solid month and more. Before we get into our favorite and our least favorite, I'll go through all the movies we saw. And we did see some movies apart. You saw one without me. I saw one without you. This is correct. This is factual. So going through the list, Trap, which you didn't see with me, the instigator, which was an at-home one, D-D, Gunner, which was also, I watched that one at home. I had a screener for that. Alien Romulus,
Starting point is 00:47:18 which you didn't see with me. Sing-Sing. And then we closed it out with Blink twice. I feel like those all together is a solid month. And then I saw it ends with us. True. I think that's better for me. Okay. I still disagree, but. We'll get into our best and the worst. You kick it off what was the best thing out of all these for August. I'm going to go one that surprised me. Blink twice. I was saying that I feel like this is a movie people are either going to love or hate.
Starting point is 00:47:43 TikTok is a buzz. It's right. It's kind of polar opposites. I think any movie, if you are concerned that you're not going to like it, you need to the trailer. There were trigger warnings. Even the trailer, like, I didn't watch the trailer thinking this is going to be funny. Like, you know that it's going to be kind of like a creepy psychological thriller reviews compared it to get out before. And people are like, what did I just watch? This was terrible. There were no warnings. I'm like, no, there was a literal full screen warning before the movie. That leads me to believe there is still a select group of
Starting point is 00:48:19 people that would just go watch a movie based on the A-list star, based on the lead. Yeah, the lady in the TikTok was like, I just wanted to watch Channing Tatum. And it's like, okay. Which is a bizarre way to go into a movie just because Channing Tatum, who you probably know from Magic Mike and maybe haven't seen a Channing Tatum movie since or like 22 Jump Street, 21 Jump Street. Step up. And you think, oh yeah, that movie.
Starting point is 00:48:39 You forgot my favorite movie all the time. I feel like he's had such an evolution as an actor, primarily being in the rom-coms. Then he kind of shifted into being like the action star, which never really kicked off. He kind of transitioned into being the comedic star. which I think was kind of a juxtaposition of you see him and you don't think comedy, but then he's really good at comedy. He's great at comedy. And now I feel like he's just making really good movies,
Starting point is 00:49:02 having one of the best years out of any actor. He's having a summer. So it's weird for me to see somebody go into just watching a movie and thinking it's going to be everything he's done maybe 10, 15 years ago. Yeah, I agree. I think that, yeah, you just need to watch the trailer. Like, if you're concerned at all about the movie, I also think it was rated to art, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:49:23 It was rated R. That tells you all you need to know. That tells you all you need to know. And yeah, it was disturbing. That's why there were trigger warnings. And if you go into the movie, you see the trigger warning and think, I don't know if this is for me. You can go get a refund. I think a lot of people don't know that.
Starting point is 00:49:36 I think it's within the first 20 to 30 minutes, probably different based on the theater you go to. You can still get a refund. Should have done that when I took my grandmother to Talladega Nights. So if you see that at the beginning and think, huh, I don't know if I'm in for that. I also feel like that was a little bit rage bait. My best of the month comes down to two movies, Alien Romulus and Didi, which Alien Romulus was the most surprising to me because, like we've been talking about this month, I went in with pretty low expectations and ended up really enjoying it, even though I'm not the biggest fan of the alien franchise as a whole. But I think when it comes down to my favorite of the month, it goes to Didi. Just because I haven't seen a movie take place in that time period done that well.
Starting point is 00:50:20 It's so good. Like 2009, 2008 to 2009 is like a golden year for me. And seeing all those things that D-D went through and realizing that also the director is like my age. So I feel like that movie was made for somebody exactly my age, also somebody who their parents migrated from another country. And it was also just, I won't call it a straight-on comedy. There were some funny parts, but it was kind of a dromedy. Yeah. Where I wouldn't tell somebody, go watch this movie because it's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:50:51 but there are funny parts in it. And I feel like that movie is relatable to anybody who's ever been a teenager. That's really the prerequisite for it. I mean, it captured similar to what we talked about like eighth grade. It captured, which you probably related to this one more because it was a teenage boy, whereas I did. Eighth grade. But it was like it captures the essence of that awkward time of being like 13, 14,
Starting point is 00:51:15 eighth grade into ninth grade. And my trauma that I still haven't forgiven my parents for is that they moved me in the middle of eighth grade. Eighth grade was my worst year ever. They moved me in the middle of it, which was incredibly rude and difficult. But I did meet my best friend, who was still my best friend to this day, on the bus. And we were like the two weird kids and we've been best friends ever since. So that was the only good thing. But that was some trauma.
Starting point is 00:51:37 I think I lost any friend I made from six to seventh grade in eighth grade. His grade is brutal. It is so, and I don't even know why. It just got to a point where I just stopped talking to people because they stopped talking to me. Everyone thinks that they're better. And then you get to ninth grade and it's like everyone who was terrible to you in eighth grade is like, hey, happy first day of school. And you're like, me. I still have the blade of my back from last year.
Starting point is 00:52:00 You're like, you literally spit on me. Like, why are you being nice to me? Yeah, I remember eating lunch alone a lot in eighth grade, making friends with people I did not want to be associated with just because they'd be the only ones who would sit around me at lunch. And I just remember that time being awful. I also apparently got a lot of hate because I came in and I was really smart and I would like raise my hand and answer questions. And I didn't know. I didn't really fully realize that being smart would put a target on your back, but it sucks to be all of them because I was smarter than all of them. And I did graduate third in my class in high school.
Starting point is 00:52:32 That's a fun thing to talk about. What were the things that put a target on your back in let's just say seventh and eighth grade? You said that one. For me, one of the big ones was just me wearing all black all the time, which people associated me with being emo, goth. And I would get made fun of that all the time because I wore all black. Having a hard to pronounce last name. Oh, yeah. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:52:52 That just makes you a target. Because would they make fun of it? Yeah, I was telling my younger brother this story the other day. And one time somebody made fun of my last name. And I was like, sorry, take it up with my dad, dad. And I shot him up. That was a good comeback. That's always like the Uno Reverse card.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Yeah, that like being smart, having a hard to pronounce last name. And then weirdly, like, I had a hot mom, which it makes it really difficult to be a teenage girl. From the teenage boy or the teenage girl. The teenage boy. Like, my mom would come have lunch with me at school. And everyone would be like, oh, my God, who's that? And I'm like, it's my mom. I could tell they found my mom more attracted than they found me.
Starting point is 00:53:32 So that was all so difficult. That's quite the top three there. It was pretty rough. For me, it was the all black clothing goes hand in hand with being into punk rock. Number two was being chunky. That's just an easy target. number three, I guess being Mexican, just because people expect things out of me or assume stereotypes about me. All right, now that we're through all of our traumas from school.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Now that we're through Kelsey's childhood trauma, thank you for joining. If anyone is a psychologist listening, please let me know what's wrong with me. But there you go. Didi was my best. Part two, are you ready? I'm ready. This microphone is rolling away, so I'm just going to hold it to my face. I loved part one. We talked about the front half of Hannah. Yeah. But we can't stop now. We can't because now we're getting to like the juiciest bits. Yeah. So can we keep going? Can we dive in? I hope we do. Part two, here we come. I'd be sad if we didn't. I know. This is like, oh my God, the main attraction. Buckle up. Here we come. We did a marriage intensive. At onsite? No. Okay. And, but we did it with another couple. It was a two Christian,
Starting point is 00:55:00 like husband and wife, like counselor pairs. And so we would come in with them every day. And I was so excited about it because I was like, we're going to fix all of Shea's problems. How to go. We came out of it and I was just like shell-shocked because we had storyboarded. Have you ever heard of this? No. Tell me this is good. Oh, I love this.
Starting point is 00:55:22 We story-boarded out. This was one of our exercises. We each were given a poster board and we wrote out in thumbnail pictures, our lives. Beautiful. So it was like moments of our lives. What a great way to know yourself and your partner. Oh, my gosh. When I tell you, it was emotionally exhausting.
Starting point is 00:55:43 because I went through 30 years. I was 30. This was three years ago. I went through 30 years of like trying to think of the things that like impacted my life and like that were pretty important to who I've become. So, shame. There's a lot. We spent hours just like doodling.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Like it's funny because on our storyboards we both start out and it's like so beautiful and like detailed. And by the end it's just like stick figures and we're just like dead. Yeah. And nothing else happened. in the last 10 years because I'm tired and my brain hurts. What a way to clear the pipes though? Well, so we did that and the actual like
Starting point is 00:56:21 Realizations you probably learned of yourself. Well, no. The shocking part was that she then went through and she was like, I'm going to go through. I want each of you one at a time to go through your life and explain each of these. And then I'm going to come back through with my sticky notes and I'm going to, I'm going to put on the board what I hear you saying. Whoa. This is intense.
Starting point is 00:56:43 It was so intense. Exhausting. It was like when I tell you, like emotionally. It's like an exorcism almost. It was, so she ran out of sticky notes for me. Morgan's laughing with her. It's not like an exorcism. But kind of.
Starting point is 00:56:56 I feel like we went through Shay's and basically they were like, oh, you can turn lemons into lemonade. That was like the thesis for his life. And she ran out of sticky notes for me. You're like, we're going to come fix Shay. I've got this all figured out. She literally ended with like chronic trauma. And I was like, what? I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:57:22 So, anyway, all that to say, we both spent that week. And I think the important... What a moment in your marriage. I think the important part was that we were opening this up in front of each other. And so we literally... And then we had to, like, talk to our younger selves. This is so beautiful and vulnerable. In front of each other.
Starting point is 00:57:46 But just to be able to get that vulnerable, not that you're not already vulnerable, but, like, to go all the way into the demons and the dark of it all that we store. That's so beautiful. I literally had to let go and, like, talk to my little girl self and tell her, like, and talk to her. What did you tell her? It was something really sad. And it was just, like, it was so sad. And... Shea is just seeing this.
Starting point is 00:58:13 You know what I mean? And, like, he did the same thing. What was your coping mechanism for your little girl? How did you cope? Well, I just... What did you do to protect her so she didn't have to feel? Well, it's funny because, like, I went back and because she was like, you need to probably do some solo therapy for like... Your time.
Starting point is 00:58:29 She's like, you probably need to, like, go do some work on your own. And we did. We've both done that. But it was... I actually said... I was like, because I was bullied a lot, like a lot of bullying. And again, I'm a dormant. And so I've always been like quiet and reserved or was.
Starting point is 00:58:51 I feel like I've like, sorry, I feel like I've, something about having kids will really make you step into like who you are. Mom a lion. Yeah. You're like, I don't really give a rat patootie what anyone thinks of me because now I'm a mom and there's more important things to laugh than someone's opinion. So other than God's like, yeah. As long as God's telling me I'm doing good. And you and your husband are on the same page? That's exactly it.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Like I sat the other day and I was like, I feel like I haven't talked to you in a long time, God. And I just felt him say you're a good mom, and I just started bawling. Sometimes you just need to, sometimes you just like need to hear it, you know? But okay, so what did you tell your little girl? Is it too personal share? No, I just said the reason that I was bullied a lot was because I was, they called me Miss Goody Tooshoes. Like, I didn't break the rules. And, like, I was just, like, a rule follower.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And, um, and I lived, and my mom told me my whole life, you're a good girl. And, like, she'd always say make good choices. And I literally told her, I was like, you're a good girl. And you are good. You are good job. And you did a good job. And you try, you've been trying so hard. And, like, the thing that came out of it was, um, the therapist actually said,
Starting point is 01:00:07 She was like, do you know what? She was like, I'm looking at your whole life. And she was like, and you never followed. And I was like, like, I'd never thought of that. But like, as much as I was picked on or bullied or like all this for like being good, she was like you never followed them. Like I never, like, you just kind of braced it, braced for it. Yeah, like, mom told me I was good and I wanted to be good.
Starting point is 01:00:36 and like thank goodness for that foundation because she and I were both raised to know and love the Lord and I'm so thankful for that. But I'd never heard that before in my whole life. She looked at me and she was like, you were never a follower. So proud of you. And there was something about that.
