Behind the scenes with a member of the show. What's up and happy weekend, everybody? Best Bits time in this weekend.

Mike D is joining me. What's up, Mike? What up? I'm back. Thanks for being here. Feels good to be back. That means time is going by really fast. It always is.

Except this week is a little bit like messing with our brains because we did switch off with you in scuba in our like time frame. So it is earlier. It is a little bit earlier, but only a week. So time still flying. But we need an update because last time you were on, a lot of things were happening in your life at the time. Yeah, there was a mysterious box that I needed to address. We are in the process of moving. And I've had this box probably over 10, maybe 15 years.

whenever I first moved, I guess since I started, even when I left my hometown and moved to Austin, I've just had this box of stuff that was like when I was in a band, we would keep all of our merch in it. And I guess it was the only good box I had. So I've been filling it with things for over a decade of my life. And then since I moved into my current house, I have no idea what was in there because it's been so long. I moved in, put it in a closet, and never looked at it again. Is it the same box? Or have you at least transitioned the box?

No, it's the same box because I wrote. merch on it so it's an actual box we use for merch. That's funny. Okay, so did you go inside the box? I did because I told you I thought I'm maybe just throwing away the whole thing because I was like, I haven't used it and I haven't been in there in seven years. Probably don't need anything. I did encourage you not to look in it. Yeah. But.

But glad I didn't just throw it away blindly because there was actually a lot of old pictures in there that I had not. I don't even know why I have these pictures. They're like old family pictures like me as a kid. I found my sonogram. Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Because before when you've been on the best bits, you've been like there's not a whole lot of pictures of me.

Yeah, I found a lot of them. This is where they've been hiding the whole time? I thought they were at my parents' house. Apparently, I have them. I don't know where in my moves that I got a hold of them. I don't know if I took them on accident, but I had just stacks and stacks of real pictures from disposable cameras and over the years.

Wow. Like really old, like me, Literally my sonogram where they wrote on it like, hi mom. That's crazy. Yeah. Were you emotional finding all of this? I don't know why I have that. It was just weird seeing me as a baby.

I think it's a, did you ask your parents about it? Because sometimes parents want to keep all that stuff and sometimes they want it to go with the kids. I didn't, I forgot to tell them about the sonogram. I did tell them that I found a bunch of old pictures. And she thought she, my mom thought she had those pictures. Really? Because I started sending her pictures of the pictures. And she was like, oh yeah, I haven't seen those in a while.

So is there any. in there that you forgot existed? Because again, you had said, like, there's not a lot of pictures of me. I haven't really seen a bunch, so. There's some of me with friends, which is crazy. I forgot I had friends in the trailer park where at the time when I was a kid,

I was super into wrestling, and I met other kids who lived in the trailer park who were also super into wrestling. So it's us, like, hanging out. Like, we had an old trampoline that it was completely destroyed, but we just kept like the outer ring of the trampoline and that was our wrestling ring. I totally forgot about this, but it's like pictures of me and my friends standing in front of the trampoline where we would wrestle. Wait, would you guys do like masks and capes and stuff too?

Like I'm trying to think of what movie that reminds me of. Like Nacho Libre? Yeah. Maybe one of my friends had a mask, but we would just pick wrestlers and then have matches. Somebody would be a referee or we do three-way matches. And you were a wrestler, Mike? That's crazy. So I had to explain to my wife why I was doing these weird arm motions because I love the Hardy Boys and that's what they would do.

In every picture, I'm freaking doing the Hardy Boys thing. That's wild. Does it make you want to pick up wrestling again? I mean, I still love wrestling. That was my first dream of if you asked me as a kid, what do I want to be when I grow up? It was a wrestler. And it was WWE? Because that's what you went and watch too, right?

Yeah, it was WWF at the time and it's now WWE. But yeah, I was like, I'm going to go to wrestling. school, I'm going to learn how to be a wrestler. Because I'd play the video game and you could create your own wrestler. I'm like, I'm going to be the risk taker. That was your name that you came over yourself? I just ripped off the undertaker, I guess. Or peacemaker.

Just somewhere in the middle. I mean, that's, I feel like a dream you could still kind of chase if you want to do. I know, I watch a lot of wrestling documentaries. That's not a good. Really? That's a hardcore profession. Now you know too much? Yeah, the injuries are insane.

The lifestyle is insane. it's cool because everybody loves you and there's probably nothing like getting that kind of crowd reaction but the stuff you don't see is yeah pretty bad so do you feel like you're glad that you didn't chase down that it yeah i don't think i ever like fully committed to it i think soon after that i got into music and then my new thing was i want to be in a band so it was probably grades three through five where i was like super hardcore about that and then in sixth grade i learned how to play guitar and game over. Isn't it funny how when we look back on the things that we wanted to be as kids?

They kind of just developed very quickly over time. Yeah, what was your first thing? My very first thing I wanted to be was a marine biologist. I feel like we always go to animals as a kid. Yes. Marine biologist. I wanted to be a zoologist, a zookeeper. I had a lot of like animal things.

I wanted to be a vet at one point. And all of those I realized that I would have to deal with the loss of animals and I was not prepared for that. And at that point where you're already not eating? animals? I was already a huge animal lover. And yeah, I mean, because I went vegetarian at eight. So, yeah, probably by the time I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life, that's, I feel like six, seven, eight, that's where you, funny, is where they start to ask you what you want to be, because up until that point, you're just living your life, you know.

I just want to go and watch cartoons. Yeah, exactly. So I think I was already a vegetarian, big animal lover at that point. But yeah, I realized the other side of it pretty quickly that was not a fit. And then I had senior actor, a news anchor. And then the news anchor one kind of stuck. That's what kind of got me into journalism school. You take like the classes where you do TV news? Yeah, in high school I was part of like the broadcast team where we do like the morning announcements. And then in college I studied broadcast journalism.

So I've full-blown. I even one of my internships I was a news reporter. Like I interned with the news station and I would do my news beats in college. I would do the local news for our, like, college station. And that was my whole plan. It was a news anchor in life. Didn't go down that path. So it stuck at one point, I think, once I hit high school.

But up until then, I had a lot of different eras of who I wanted to be for sure. Is there any that you think would have stuck for you? What was yours? Like, what was your last one to then get to where you are now? Well, I think before wrestler, I remember there was a brief period where I wanted to be. an architect and I don't even know why. I think I was like in first grade but I remember telling everybody I wanted to be an architect because I wanted to design buildings. Love that. And I would like carry around like a little hammer inside like the loop of my pants. But that was just

like Bob the builder maybe. Maybe. I don't know. That was just some people say firemen as a kid. I said architect. Yeah. So then I went to wrestler. Then I think for the majority of my life I wanted to be in a band and like tour and get on a record label. Which you were still doing the band in high school. Yeah, I did it through high school. And then when I graduated high school, I moved from Waxhatchie to Austin to pursue music. And I just happened to find the internship on the radio show. I was doing those two things at the same time. So I was still pursuing that. I just kind of saw like, I don't think I want to do that anymore. Do you think there's a part of you that would ever go back to trying to do that? No, if I would do it, it would just like to play for fun, like in a garage, write some songs again. But I don't. think I would ever want to play shows again. Yeah, that's fair. There's more of a passion. Yeah. Like I enjoy it. In my head, it would be fun to like reunite with my old band. And like,

there was like a group of bands that we all toured with and just do like one show where it's basically just the people who were in those bands attending the show. It's not really like a thing we do. We just like kind of all perform for each other. Like that would be like the only thing I'd want to do like more like a party where we all play music. You don't feel like that would give you the bug to try and pursue again? No, I don't think so. I just think that it was such a grind to do, and we basically made no money for so many years that I don't think I would want to do it again to that extent.

Yeah, that's fair. It's also fair as you get older, you just realize the true sides of things. I mean, I also haven't played guitar in like five years. That's why that you also used to be a pretty significant, guitar playing. Yeah, like I taught myself how to play. That's all I would do. I would just play guitar and then I would say probably until I moved here is when I kind of stopped playing. I played still like the first couple of years I lived here and then just kind of stopped. You're telling me you never played for your wife? I did write her a song early on.

Did you? Yeah. Oh, that's so sweet. So that was probably around the tail. Yeah, because I was still probably writing songs in like 2018. So probably stopped fully in like 2019. maybe picked it up a little bit during the pandemic because there's nothing else to do. And then since then I pick it up maybe once or twice a year. But that's about it. That's so cool. Did you record the song or did you just play for it live in person? I remember playing it for her over FaceTime.

And then I think I recorded it and sent it to her. That's sweet. And then from there you're like, never mind. I'm good with guitar. And then even she kind of forgets that I play guitar. I haven't done it in so long. Do you still have a guitar that you could play? Yeah, I have two electrics and one acoustic.

Dang, you have a lot, not just one. Yeah, I mean, that was my, yeah. And, like, recently there was, my favorite guitar player is Tom DeLong from Blinklin 82, and he had this signature guitar that I wanted so bad as a kid, but it was, like, super expensive. And recently they did, like, a reissue version of it, and I was so close to buying it. Because I saw it on the rack, it was, like, so close to be buying it. Why didn't you? I'm not going to play it.

I was like, I haven't played guitar in so long. Is this really going to motivate me to want to play it again? But it could be you love collecting things. That's true. And that's a collector's item for sure. I would assume, especially in that genre. No? I mean, it could be, but I think with, I mean, they reissue it and they make a bunch of them.

So I don't know if it's going to have really any, like, collector value to it. But it would be to me because for a long time you couldn't even find that guitar. Yeah, I just feel like it would be a cool collection in your videos that I see from your podcast set up. I feel like that would be a cool ad to that collection. That is kind of how I justify some things. I'm like, I put it in the background. It's a set piece. It is.

And I don't know. Is that like something that's super expensive? That one, that was the other thing. I saw it. It was like on a pretty good deal. Really? And you still didn't do it? It was only like 900.

I mean, still a lot of money, like 900 bucks. But originally it was like $1,500. Oh, yeah, that's a great deal. You're almost like half. Yeah. That was the only. thing I was like, this is such a good deal. Like, why is this marked down so much? Like, your wife's gonna be like, Morgan don't say this, but you should go back and get it.

I don't know if it's there anymore, but yeah, I really, I think, I don't even think I told her when I saw it. Really? I said it to my brother because he was like, that's cool. Yeah. And she was probably just like, you have three guitars. What's this one? It's hard unless, like, you are a person who understands that side of things. She probably would motivate me to get it because she's like, you never buy things for yourself and she's like if something is cool like you have worked hard you can buy it for yourself i love that that's probably why i didn't tell her because then she would convince me to do it because i'm the one who always talked myself out of buying something ever i don't like buying things i don't really material things don't really mean much to me i'd rather spend money on experiences so i don't

really get joy of owning just objects i'd rather do things and i can always like justify it in my head of like i'm going to spend 800 dollars on this, how many uses am I going to get out of it? If I only use it twice, that's $400 a use. I always break it down by like use. Yeah. And in all fairness, like totally fair. Because I'm right there with you. I'd rather have trips and experiences and spend money on life versus owning a bunch of stuff. But something that's been part of your life for so long, you definitely didn't text your wife because you knew she was going to encourage you to do it. And I guess since then, I kind of have been on like a search of all like the childhood things that I didn't own and that's kind of been like my

avenue of like collecting things right now is like what are all the items that I wanted as a kid and have never bought and I'm kind of on the search for those. Okay. Here's a little hell merry moment. If it's still there wherever you found it, I feel like that's a sign that you're supposed to have it. I'm open to that. If it's still there and still the same price and it wasn't a mistake.

then you are supposed to own that guitar. That's crazy. I guess I just never, we've talked about you having been in the band and stuff, but, and you playing guitars and stuff now, I feel like that you could be a songwriter in that genre if you wanted to

as like a passion side of things. Is that genre, yeah. I've never, see, when I was growing up, I didn't really know that that was a profession that you could write songs. I always assumed that all the bands I listen to wrote all their own songs, which for the majority,

did because there's a lot of punk bands but now like seeing that my favorite band blink 182 they have like people writing some of their songs I'm like wait a minute you could write a song for blink 182 that would be a cool I don't know just side passion especially because you also love to write yeah so like that'd be a cool creative outlet but writing songs is also different than writing scripts I can't do either so but I do know they're different all right we're going to take a quick break and I need to find out what else was in the box because we're like out to one we'll be right back Pride is like love.

It scared the hell out of me. That was your first murder case? Yes, sir. Fair to say this was the biggest case of your career? Yes, sir. Rape a murder for a child. She's as bad as it gets. I would think so.

People wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder. take place by crevette and de pippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum.

What else was inside the box? So the other thing inside the box that gave me a crazy nostalgia trip was my old razor phone. Oh, yeah. I had a black Motorola razor that I bought off of eBay used and I saved up all my money for it.

And I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I got it at a point where they really weren't that cool anymore. But I was like, I have to have one of those phones because I want to download a bunch of ringtones. And I want to do the flip. and it just looked cool and it was just all black and I was like oh that's cool

they were cool for like 10 years though I mean they were around for a hot minute I feel like they're probably going to come back hmm this is it this brings up a good point I went into

and this is definitely more a girl thing but I went into a Victoria Secret and they have the secondary line that's called pink have you ever heard of pink so much more younger girl version

versus Victoria Secrets more from adult women and it's like I walked in there I stepped right back into the 2000s. They had the yoga pants that had the fold over them. Things were written on the butts. There was matching sweatsuits.

We're back with like crew necks with things written on them. I straight up thought, holy crap, I'm back in high school. There's like all over again. Yeah, 2000s are very back again. Oh my gosh, yeah. So I feel like maybe the razor could also see it come back. Or wasn't there something they were promoting that was a phone like that? I think they did bring back the razor.

It doesn't look the same, but I think they do have a new Motorola razor. Okay. This is an interesting point because I'm looking at all of that. What do you want to not see make a comeback? Like, please do not bring this back from the dead. And I have one that's in my head, so I can let you think for a second. But the first one that has come to mind for me is gouchos. Do you ever remember women wearing gouchos?

I've heard of them. My wife has explained them to me before, but now I don't remember. Yes. So they were like yoga pants, but they were free, flowy, but they were also capri's. And they were just really bizarre. And I love a flowy pant. I love a capri. And I love a yoga pant.

I don't like all of them combined. And honestly, if we bring back gauchos, I think I will just throw myself into a pool. That is the one thing I don't want them to see make a comeback. But they probably will. But what is yours? Clothing item for me was whenever baggy stuff started to become. cool again. I worked so hard to fit into a pair of skinny jeans that I'm like, are you kidding me? Now baggy stuff is making a comeback, even though like as a kid I wanted, you remember Jinkos?

Yes, I do remember Jinkos. I wanted a pair of Jinkos so bad and my parents would not buy them for me because they're like, we're not buying you those ridiculous looking pants that are super baggy. But I like the designs on them and then all the cool kids would wear them. So I never had a pair of Jinkos. And then once I finally lost weight and was able to fit into skinny jeans because they were cool, they became uncool again. And now it's like, baggie is the style. I'm like, why did I do this? Yeah, and this is why also I tried to not follow a lot of fashion trends because they do

change all of the time, especially things that were in, I feel like 90s, 2000s, all of that stuff was so short-lived. Like, I owned so much Lisa Frank things. And then one day, everybody was like, no, we only like black and white. I was like, my room, Mike, was how. hot pink and lime green. Those were the two colors that I painted my room. Like, I could not be brighter if you tried. When I had come back from college, my parents were redoing their house to they were empty nesters, whatever. And I was like, dang, I don't miss the hot pink and lime green.

I'm not going to lie. Like, I was a real, real choice in making that full color. So I was like the full-blown color girl. And then one day it was like brown, white, black. I'm like, what? What happened? Jump scare. there's that too. I just try and avoid them. I try and avoid a lot of trends if I can. Yeah, I don't really hop on a whole lot of fashion trends. They change so fast, but this is where my mom always loves to justify keeping stuff because everything old is always new again. And she will have every single one of those things somewhere in her closet. And there will inevitably be a time where I go back and get it. Do your

parents keep things? Do they have a lot of stuff from when you were young? Yeah, I think so Because I think My mom was just getting rid of some My mom is more like me now She doesn't like junk So if something hasn't been using a long time She gets rid of it

My dad is the complete opposite Where he will hold on the things forever And he's like I don't know what this is But it belonged to our kids And I don't want to get rid of it He's very weird about that He's sentimental

He either thinks like we're going to come back And move in and we'll need our things or if there's anything that we own no matter at what point in our life he keeps him. Oh, I mean, when I did meet your dad at your wedding, he just seems like such like a gentle giant. Yes.

It's like the best way I can describe him. He was just so kind. He looks like he'd be mean, but he's not. No, it's because of his stash. Does he still have his long stash? He has a long mustache. He puts like mustache wax in it, curls it on the edge, on the end of it.

Yeah, so you'd be like intimidated because cool stash. Cool stash is always cool facial hair intimidates me in general. I just feel like you know more than I do. It's the vibe that I feel. And he was like that. And then I met him and he was just like the nicest guy ever.

Yeah, but his garage is his space. And he doesn't like anything moved out of there. So my mom will try to clean it out. He's like, nope, I had to keep all my stuff. Do not touch any of this. But the house is free reign where she's kind of reorganizing. Yeah, that is. He can just keep all those things in the garage.

That I understand. I am trying to be like that as an adult. Like I cleaned out some drawers and I had kept so many boxes from technology. Why? Why did I keep boxes? Yeah. I just got rid of computer box, an iPad box, and an Apple Pencil box. And I was like, this is a really nice box.

Yeah, and they're nice boxes. But like, why do we keep boxes? What about our generation are we like, yeah, boxes? It's just like when you have a really nice put together box, you just can't throw it away. And you're like, there's something I can put in this box. But you never put something in the box. It hides out on a shelf and you never use it again. It's just a nice box.

I know. So I did get rid of a lot of mine. I've been really trying to get rid of things that I just don't. I have no reason for needing. Is that what the you guys are in right now because you're moving? Yeah, I've got rid of so many things that I've had that I don't have any use for. And me even two years ago, one year ago would have said, no, keep it. I'm over everything.

Like I could get rid of everything that I own aside from like my computer and I'd be fine. Okay, so you're telling me if everything upended today, would you just sell all your stuff and just go on with your life somewhere? I would be fine. If I could just do like a wholesale, like here's everything I own and sell it, I would be fine. What are the five things you're keeping if you sell everything? Five things I would keep. One would be my Secret Wars 8 comic that my wife got me for Christmas and surprised me with it. it was the comic I'd been looking for basically forever. Okay. And it has the first appearance of Black Suit Spider-Man.

Oh, your favorite? Yeah, so that's my favorite item in my collection. Number two, I have a signed letter from Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, where he came on the show back when we were in Austin on the pop station. Bobby interviewed him, and then Bobby knew he was my favorite artist. So as show prep, I wrote him. like a letter, Bobby read it to him on the air, and then afterwards he signed it for me, and then got us tickets to his show that night in Austin.

That's so cool. Did you get a picture with him, too, I assume? Yeah, I have a picture with him. He signed a bunch of stuff. My brother went up to the studio, too, and we were both huge community fans. So he signed, like, my brother's Blu-ray and, like, a comic book. That's awesome. And then we went to the show that night.

But I have that signed letter, and I've had it since that was probably 2011. Yeah. So I would keep that. That's my number two item. Number three, I recently got a Charzard Pokemon card, which was my favorite card growing up. I had one at one point. And then this kid in the trailer park kind of stole it from me, but in a way that he thought was fair, where I was just learning about Pokemon cards. And he was trying to teach me how to, like, battle with him.

Yeah. And then he was like, no, I win your Charzar. Dang, he, like, scammed you before scamming was a thing. And I had no idea what happened. And then, like, my other friends tried to get it back for me, and the kid wouldn't give it back. Dang, I hope that kid gets a warm pillow these days. I don't even remember. I remember where he lived in the trailer park, but I don't remember his name.

I wish I did. That's funny. I tried to track him down. Like, hey, you still have that? Yeah, he probably does it. I mean, he did. He probably sold it by now. Yeah.

That would be my number three. But you got one. You have a new one. Yeah, I went to a car shop here in town. They had one. It wasn't, like, in pristine condition. so I don't think I spent $10,000 on it. But I don't really care about that in my search of finding things from my childhood.

Like, I don't care what condition it's in. I just want to own it in some form of fashion, not spend my entire life savings on it. Yeah. So that would probably be number three. Number four is probably my nameplate that I got when we went to go see, when we went to go ride in Jerry Jones' helicopter. Oh. So we went, flew to the game, and then we went.

got to watch the game from his suite and at the suite they put everybody's name on like this little cardboard like place a little like if you go to a wedding and they have your name on the table they had that for my name and i kept it that's cool though and the dallas cowboys have been your team your whole life yeah so that was just a crazy experience of going and then being there watching my favorite team and then being there as a guest was wild so i have that nameplate it says like mr mike d stroll on it and i also have some nabby from Jerry Jones bathroom. And they have the Dallas Cowboys Star on them.

That's funny. Well, those are some good items, though. I feel like those are sentimental while also still being really valuable. Yeah, so those are all the things. Those are good things. I can't really rep. I mean, I could technically replicate the comic book and the card. Some of the other things I can't.

Okay, well, before we take a break, was there anything else in the box or are you getting rid of everything else? I found some really old relics from the show from way back in the day even before Amy joined the show. Oh, that's cool. It was whenever the show moved from Austin to here, I think Bobby let me clean out his desk and said I could keep whatever I wanted. And there's like some old, it's literally like a pack of like sticky notes that has like the show logo on it, but it's not Amy, which was really weird looking. That's wild. And then there's like a can of beans that they made. I forgot what it says on it. Something about gas or it was some kind of

kind of promo item, but I'll just... Are you getting rid of them? Are you keeping them? I'm keeping those. I just felt like it's a cool piece of like show history that nobody probably has anymore. So all of this is a, you open back up the box, the box is state. It's what I've learned for this. I got rid of like all the old... Because it was like my box for all my music stuff that we would tour with. So like there's like old cables and like old microphones that were really disgusting because we would take our own microphones and they got gross. And then a bunch of like old random things that I had no

idea where they even came from. Okay, so at least half of the box got tossed out. Kept the phone, kept the pictures, kept the random show items. Hey, that's progress. Yeah. What's in the box? We did it. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Happy Pride Month, Toronto. Pride is an opportunity for you to create your own space, to celebrate your existence.

Our podcast is called, Hey Jonas. We've here, since everyone has a podcast, we wanted to

as well. And we've had some incredible guests so far. And now our good friend, Nile Horn is joining the show. How's it going, boys? Hey, Niall. It's the same thing with slow hands. It's all the answer not about anything else really, is it? You know, or taste so good can't be about food. You do the same, Nick, with some of the stuff that you've done. You too, Joe. Drop what you're doing and listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

All right, I need to know if you have this experience because you're the only other one with, like, full dietary restrictions like myself. It's hard. Like, I'm vegan, my wife is gluten-free. It's hard to go out to eat. It's hard to get recommendations from people who, like, try this restaurant. We're like, ugh. Yeah.

But I will say gluten-free is becoming easier. Dairy-free is also start. Like, dairy-free is at the very beginning where we're seeing a big plant-based movement happening. When you go to a restaurant and they have it all labeled on there. Oh, it's so great. I saw you guys went and tried Flower Child, which is one of my new favorites. Oh, we'd be going there a while, yeah. They used to have it in Austin.

And whenever they got one here, we're like, finally. Yeah, except it's all the way out. in Franklin so it's forever way. But it's so good. I dream they have this like corn kuskos or like corn quinoa thing. I dream about it. That's how good it was. I love it when I can go to a place and I can get multiple things where I have it's not just the one thing. And then you always kind of feel like you feel like you feel lucky when they do have a vegan option or a gluten free option. But then when that's the only option they're like well we have an option for you. I'm like yeah, but then I don't really don't sound good to me. I know and neither one of you guys are on on the have the

ability. Like both of mine are more choices because I feel better besides vegetarian. That one is just solid. There's no changing that. But there will be times where somebody gets me to go try something to eat and I eat it. And I'm like, dang, I shouldn't have eat that, but that was really good. And I'm reminded of the experience when I wasn't gluten-free and totally vegan. So I do have some of those moments.

But all of that to say, I have, I'm not sure if I'm weird in this because there are sometimes, I really love eggs. Sometimes, love them. They're great. Other times, hate them, despise them, and want to not even see them. Do you have any foods that are in your list of things that you eat that you just hate also?

I hate cherry tomatoes. But do you also like them sometimes? I like regular tomatoes, but I don't like cherry tomatoes specifically. Why? I will love a regular tomato. I don't know. It's something about the texture when you bite into them.

Because I don't really like cold things. Like when it comes to salad Like being a vegan It's so hard for me to say I don't like salads because they're like Isn't that all you eat? No, I don't I'd rarely eat a salad Yeah

But I hate just the cold salad with a bunch of Cherry tomato That's like my worst thing That's your nightmare Yeah Because my worst food The foods I hate the most Are cherry tomatoes and arugula

Oh Dang arruly Arruola is getting tomato here Okay All right So it's something about the texture of biting it into a tomato and it like bursting in your mouth. I just don't like it.

Yeah. And then arugula just tastes like I'm going out to the lawn and just chomping down. That is fair. Arugula, if not prepared correctly, definitely tastes like dirt. Yeah. For sure. And cherry tomatoes are crunchy versus regular tomatoes. Regular tomatoes can be soft.

And you can slice them. Yeah. Like I could eat a sliced tomato, but something about a cherry tomato. You can't really slice those. I've tried to have cut myself a few times in that row. So, okay, so you have things that, like, it's a little odd. But, Mike, there'll be times where I like, well, lately, I've been making this homemade egg salad that I'm obsessed with.

Love it. I'll eat it with sweet potatoes. It's so delicious. And then one morning, I'll wake up and I'll have, like, two bites and I'm like, I'm disgusted. I want to vomit. Don't know why. Don't know where it comes from.

And I don't know if it's because of the vegetarian side of me, something about eggs. I'm very particular about eggs that I'll eat. Like, they have to be, like, fully organic. I know that they're actually roaming on a farm, not like fake roaming on a farm. You know what I mean? And so I'm very like the only way I'll eat eggs if I know where it's coming from, most of the time we'll get them from the farmer's market, that kind of thing. And I don't know if that's why, but it will be the most random day. Nothing startled it.

Nothing changed. But one day I just wake up and I hate them. I feel like that's weird. Yeah. I guess because I only have so many things that I, eat, I can't get tired of what I eat. There are moments where I get to a point where I'm just sick of cooking

and I could make the same thing that I've always made and for some reason it just doesn't hit the same. Where I feel like I'm just eating at a necessity because I'm hungry and that's usually the night we decide, okay, we're just going out to eat. That's fair. Okay, because people will always ask me, what are your favorite gluten-free vegan restaurants, Nashville,

flower child being one of them? My favorite all-time is Avo. I've been going there since they were like in this old shipping container. Now they're like in a legit restaurant. But I go there all the time. Like they know us there. We're like friends with the owner. And they're just,

it's just so crazy when you can go into a restaurant and you can eat whatever. Yeah. And my wife can't because some things aren't gluten-free, but I can go in and eat whatever. And it's awesome. Like totally safe because it's all plant-based. Yeah. And it's the one restaurant that I've taken people to who are maybe hesitant of eating vegan food

and they end up liking it. They might not love it and go back on their own, but if they come into town and we're like, you've got to try it out. Yeah. And they most oftentimes left like, okay, it's good. Like, it's not like what you think about vegan food,

like it all tasting like dirt or just all being salads. No, there's so many options. There's so many ways to create vegan food now, like with different substitutions of things, cashews, coconut being a lot of them. But also, I was really mad because there was one weekend where Avo did an Italian, weekend a full vegan gluten-free Italian food and I was so excited because it's hard

that's a hard food to find that has all of the restrictions and I was out of town yeah we went to that it was good oh my gosh I was devastated like when I tell you that I found out about it and I was like I have to go I'm going and then I saw the dates I was so sad yeah I cried Mike because I was like I really wanted to try that yeah it's great because yeah the two hardest restaurants for me to go eat are Italian restaurants and seafood places because you can never find anything that's vegan. You're eating the cold salad. Yep. So to go and they have Italian food that you can get whatever you want, it was awesome. So what was that? It was good. Yeah. I really hope they do it again. That was a devastating day for me. I'm not going to lie.

Yeah, they had like these giant ravioli's really good. Yeah, and like mozzarella sticks. Yeah, all the mozzarella sticks were good. Come on, man. We told them that they got to make those a menu item. I hope. I think it was really popular, so I'm hoping it comes back again and I finally going to go. But I will say, though, there is a lot of, at least on the gluten-free side, there's a lot of Italian restaurants that have started becoming really good at either importing pasta from Italy or coming up with things. But the vegan side is what's hard with it because cheese is literally everything in pasta. Or meat sauces, yeah. Yeah, all the things. So, all right, there was that one.

Then also, I'm not a spice girl. Not even a little bit. Not at all? Not even a little bit. What is your level of, like, what's your threshold? Is it? Mike, sometimes. pepper makes my eyes water.

Wow. And I don't know if I hate it so much because I'm also, I think, potentially allergic to it because every time I eat spices, my lips start to blow up. That could be a thing, yeah. That could be a medical condition. I'm also afraid of it there. But I want to like spicy things. I want to.

I want to. And I try so hard. And every time I cry, like I think I'm a baby in my food palate as far as spices go. Wow. There was like a honey barbecue that made me my eyes water. Honey barbecue. Like, what did they have in that? I made my fiancé a vegetarian buffalo dip.

You know, most of the time it's like a chicken buffalo dip. And it was made with chickpeas and I got really excited because I was like, I can finally you buffalo dip. And I put the most mild buffalo sauce you can ever put in there. I cried. And you know what I did? It tasted so good that I kept eating through the tears. That's how bad it was.

What about that side? Is there any food that you love enough that you'll, like, painfully allow yourself to go through it? See, luckily, I grew up where spice was just all around, so I kind of have a tolerance to it. Like, whenever Eddie made a salsa that everybody else said was way too hot, I had no problem. Like, I never thought.

I was like, what are they talking about? Yeah, you weren't too hot at all. I don't think there's anything I, like, I'm luckily, even though I don't eat cheese, if I do eat cheese, like, I'm fine. Yeah, because yours is preference. Yeah, it's not like an intolerance to that, which I think that would, I'd have a much different relationship with that. Because I used to on Christmas, I'd have my large cheese pizza by myself, and then I'd wake up the next day and be totally fine. Is there something you miss that you wish you could eat every day with no consequence?

I mean, when you were saying eggs, that was like the last thing that I gave up that I did not want to let go. Really? And why eggs? Why did you let go of eggs? Because if you can't be a vegan and eat eggs That was like the last thing Like I was like okay I'll stop eating Chicken and eggs were the last two things

Because I just ate so much of it I was able to do chicken But I was like man what am I going to eat for breakfast That's been my entire breakfast for years And I would just make I would put eggs in everything Like even my dinner I would find a way to work in eggs I know and it's so weird There's definitely a split on that

For vegan diets There's like half where they're like eggs are fine Half where like you cannot eat eggs It's kind of like the pescatarian diet where like they'll eat no meat but they'll eat fish. Yeah. It's like one of those dilemmas. And I think that's why maybe I go have problems with eggs.

Some days I'm one and some days I'm another. I don't know. But have you tried eggs again? No, I haven't had eggs probably in eight, nine years. Wild. Yeah, unless it's been like in one of my cheat days, like as an ingredient inside of like cookies or something, I haven't had eggs. Okay. That's crazy. Your dedication over there. I love it. What is your for you page right now? Because speaking of food, I have a lot of recipes. I'm pretty sure my entire for you page right now is recipes in traveling. So I have places saved where I want to go and food that I want to make.

I don't get food anymore, which I used to love. I used to just get people. There was like this lady who was like in maybe South Texas or maybe in Mexico, but she would just be making things every day. And that was like my feed for a while. And I was like, I haven't seen her videos in a long time. What did you do? Before you paid. I don't know. All food is gone. That's funny. So what is it now? Right now, because of WrestleMania that was a couple weeks, it's a lot of wrestling.

I get a lot of Pokemon stuff. I would say every third video is probably either somebody live ripping packs or somebody going to Target to try to find Pokemon cars. That's probably my number two most thing in my feed right now. You said ripping packs and I was thinking like ripping cigarettes. And I was like, that's not what he meant. And it took me a second to register that you were talking about, like, ribbon open. Pokemon card bags. Please continue.

So that's my number two. And then number three is probably just collectibles in general. I follow, I don't even follow a lot of people, but I get a lot of people just going to, like, different collectible shops and just like, here's what they have in stock today. That's a lot of my feed. Isn't it funny how your For You page can change so quickly? Yeah. You can like two things of one category. and all of a sudden that's what you have.

Yeah, recently I watched like one video of Chris Carpatrick from InSink. And then for like two days, I got a bunch of Chris Carpatrick from InSync. Like I was the biggest InSync fan. That's, you're like, okay, yeah, I like the one video. We don't need to give me everything of that one. Isn't that weird? I did that to our show Instagram feed too because because somebody's not like so actively on that page, you know what I mean?

Like just constantly on the 4th. you page, it was so random. And so I turned that one also into recipes or like life hacks or cleaning things. I started trying to turn it into something that like at least when I opened it, it wasn't like a jump scare every time I opened the thing. I was like, I don't need to see that. It was bad. It was really bad. That in our Twitter feed, which is still kind of a dumpster fire. So I've tried to engage with random things to like change the algorithm over there. So when I am on it, I'm not totally being startled. So our show Instagram for you page is cleaning videos, some country videos,

because I'll still comment on those, trying to make sure I know the country news. And then recipes, like all kinds of recipes. And that's what our show is. But that's funny. So yours is food. Traveling and everything wedding. Oh, yeah. My, that does not help anything.

Like I, having so many options hurts. to my brain. And social media, all it does make it worse. Like you get something, you're like, that was a really cool. I'm so excited about that. And then you get it on Instagram and you all of a sudden have five videos of different things you could have done. It's horrible. Like a horrible mind if is what happens to my brain in those situations.

Like, and it's just crazy how much you realize how much we're fed and how it like dramatically impacts our everyday life. You know what I mean? Like, I don't even think I realize it until I watch my 4-U page shift for what's happening in my life. Yeah, I worry about that sometimes of, like, how much my brain has changed. Seriously. And how much has been my own willingness or wanting to change my way of thinking versus how much has just been manipulated through an algorithm. Yes.

No, I'm not even kidding. I think even me getting back into, like, collecting things has been all because of what I've seen through TikTok of, like, other people. people showing that it's more socially acceptable, but also like getting fed videos of people like go into the store and buying things. That's made me want to do that more and lean more into that. And that's all because of having an app with my phone. Yep. And if you didn't, then you want to be buying things, you know, the basis for consumerism, I suppose. But it hurts my brain. There's sometimes where like I'll lay in bed and I, and I still want to be on my phone because I want to play my games. I want to like do my little brain rotting, I guess, as I used to call, well, also bed rotting.

because most of my day is very productive and I don't have that chance. But then I'm just like, why am I on this? Why? Why can't I just brain rot laying here without doing anything for my brain or having to watch a TV show or like even my winding down is consumed in that? I mean, yeah, my winding down is watching TikTok till my eyes hurt. That's not good. Yeah. Like, I'll be falling is like my eyes are closing and I'll be either like scrolling or I'm playing a game.

Like, that's not good. You should be closing your eyes like gently, fun asleep, it's in the dark. But I'm not, and I think about that a lot. I've had rude awakenings a lot recently if you can't tell. I've also had a lot of crash outs and spirals. You're talking about you personally? Yes.

Or I was like, that's your algorithm. You see other people crashing out. Completely myself. Or I will just like be on something for so long. And it's partially from looking at a bunch of vendors where there's like 15 different things. And I'm like, I have looked at the same photo 5,000 times. And my brain just falls apart.

And then I have a crash out because I can't. It's like I'm, you know when you watch a computer try and do too many things at once? Mine just did it. It literally just like dies. That's what my brain does. And I just completely crash out. It's a weird experience. It just locks up.

You get the circle of death. Literally. And I'm just like, my fiance will come home from work. And I'm just like, I don't know. And he's like, are you broken? Are you like, is there life inside of you? Like, what is happening? Have you never had a crash out or like a spiral like that

where your whole body just kind of like, what are you doing? Yeah, I haven't had a while though, luckily. I've had to do therapy and stuff to manage those things and medication. So luckily, the tools I've learned have kept me from that. I get close to it and I can feel it. But no, not a super bad crash out recently. Yeah. Yeah, that's weird. But it's also like overloaded. I think of all the stress that everybody is under on any normal given day, like a job. You and me, we look at just our jobs in general. We have a lot of things that we have to do and accomplish. And then you add life, social, health and fitness, cooking your food, taking care of. Like, see, then I start to crash out of you. I start thinking about it. That's why I go for 20 mile runs, honestly. Oh, yeah. I wish I could, Mike. It's all that steam just, that's where I'm not bothered.

It's so true, and I would love to do that, but I would crash out on the run. My body would be like, what are you trying to add to our thing? And I would be like five miles from out. This is like when I tried rollerblading for the first time to like, again, to pick it up as an adult and give me something to do. And I crashed five minutes from my house. I think it's just a matter of finding something where you're not being notified or you're not looking at anything. Whatever that is. It weren't you doing, was it disc golf for a while?

Yeah. I'm trying everything. The problem is finding time to do set things. And then I crash out trying to find the time. I just, you know, there's a lot going on in my life right now. Fair point. Fair point. It's really just like planning and organizing and all the things. There's just a heavy mental load trying to do a bunch of things at one time. I, like, it's also exciting stuff, but it's just, you know, when your to-do list looks

more long than your grocery list. You're kind of like, okay, one day that'll hopefully. not be there, but anyways. I just had a small crash out, I think. Right there. We witnessed it in real time. You did. You saw my brain doing it. But Mike, thanks for joining coming on. This was good.
