It's listener, Q& Daytime, where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions. It's time to answer some listener questions, and Mike D is joining me. What's up, Mike?

Hey, questions. You ready to answer all the questions? I think I'm ready. Questions make me nervous. Why do they make you nervous? They're always about movies and you're running. Yeah, I guess, yeah, I think sometimes answering questions about myself feels weird. Oh, well, at least you're not the one, like, answering them, you know?

I ask you. Okay. So hopefully that makes it a little bit better. is Mike D still trying to be a rotten tomatoes critic, Aaron? I've given up on that dream. What? I applied for three, maybe four years straight, and I don't even think they take applications anymore

because they stop. The criteria was so hard to get in, it led me to believe that they don't really accept anybody. Like they have people who either they know or you have to kind of be in some kind of circle because I met every single requirement to become an official critic, and they never allowed it. Like the first couple of years, they were like,

now you have to do something for a year, and I'd maybe started my podcast that same year that I applied. So that was 2019, and they just never accepted it. Even after I'd been doing it for one to two years, sent them all my credentials, they were like, no, you don't meet the requirements. So it led me to believe that they don't really take real people. And now that I don't even see the applications open up,

I just think it's all a sham. You need to go down the conspiracy theory thread and find out if your accusation's true. I think the only thing legit on there is the audience score. Because you can sign up for an account and contribute to that. And I'm like, I don't want to do that. I'll do that on my letterbox for all my podcast. But aside from that, I'm like, ah, I'm good.

Done with you rotten tomatoes. Do you trust their scores still? Or have you also backed off of that? I also don't look at the scores anymore because when I go watch a movie, I don't want to be influenced in any way. So if I know what the score is going into it, It's going to change my mentality on it. And I won't even go look at anybody else's review until after I've recorded mine

because I don't want to accidentally take what they felt about the movie or some kind of inspiration from those reviews. So I'll go watch a movie, record mine, and then dive into what everybody else is saying and maybe bring it up later. But I just like to be completely my own perspective. Okay. Well, there you go. That's why you're also the expert. Do you take notes during the movie for your podcast, Lauren from Austin? I do.

I set my phone to like the dark mode because you can't see it. And then I'll take notes throughout if I see something that I'm like, oh, that'd be funny to talk about or an interesting point. I'll always write the title of the movie and then all my random thoughts. So before I sit down to record a review, I just have all these things like weird camera angle, awkward facial interaction or like weird line or just something about the plot or a song or something. and then I'll just kind of go down through all my notes as I do my review.

So always taking notes. If I don't take notes or hit my timer on how long the movie is, I feel off. Really? Yeah. Do you feel like it takes away from getting to enjoy the movie? Do you ever go to a movie and not take notes? If it's a really big movie like a Spider-Man or Avengers, those are so big where I'm not going to forget any little details.

So for those movies, I'll maybe take two to three notes. And it's something like very specific that I see that I'm like, I don't think everybody else is going to pick up on that. I need to make a note of that so I can talk about it. But those movies I could go into and just freeball it and not do anything and just experience it as a fan. Because since I do go to the movies once or twice a week, there are some that are going to be movies that I would watch no matter what. Like even if I wasn't doing a podcast, I would still make it a point to go see them. But there are some that I'm like, okay, I got to watch a new movie this week.

It's probably going to be number one. I got to go check it out. And some of those feel a little bit. I still enjoy them, but at times they feel like a little bit more of a chore to watch. And I'm like, I got to find some angle here to take some notes. So there are some, like the big ones, like marble ones, usually, I don't have to take notes. That makes sense. Well, you're also probably really amped for those too.

Yeah, and it's like, I'm just going to remember that. I'm going to remember that forever, so I don't need to take notes. Callie and Vegas, what is each of your go-to vegetarian meals to make and fun snack? For vegan meals, a lot of mine are tofu-based, which I know a lot of people have. You think tofu is disgusting, but I'm really grown to like it. And I think with some seasoning and mixing it with things that, like, it absorbs all the flavor. So I would encourage anybody who's thinking about vegetarian or vegan diet, just looking up some recipes on TikTok, you can, like, put batter on them and, like, fry them, throw them in the air fryer. You can do all kinds of things with tofu to make it delicious.

And I like finding those type of recipes, like chili lime tofu. Like it's good. Like to me, it is my version of like a chicken nugget if I make it a certain way. Can you make tofu like a chicken nugget? Yeah. If you throw it in the air fryer with like some spices and some kind of like avocado oil, it gets pretty crispy. I'm just going to have to trust you on that. I'm one of the people who are going to do tofu.

Like a chicken nugget kind of sewer. You're going to be very aware this is not a chicken nugget, but as far as having something that has a bit of a crunch to it, that's as close as you can get. Okay. I'm trusting you on that because I'm not a tofu girl. What about your snack? I'm really weird that I love dates.

I think I'm the only person I've ever met that loves dates. Okay, maybe I've met two people now. Okay. I eat them with almond butter and sea salt. Yeah, I'll go to Costco and get the big thing of dates, and usually I'll just eat them like that. If it's like a weekend thing, I'll put peanut butter on them. It's a weekend snack.

Yeah, that's a weekend snack. I have like different snacks that are like, that's a weekday snack and that's a weekend snack. Well, it's a weekday snack. A weekday snack is like something crunchy. Like my weekday snack is like those popcorners. Like that's a weekday snack. That's something like at the end of the day, like I'm watching a TV show or something.

It's a good little crunch at the end of the day. On the weekend, it's like, I need something a little bit sweeter. little bit something that feels more like a celebration at the end of the week. That's what I'll throw in some dates with peanut butter. That's a weekend snack. I love it. I love, I just love when humans have fun things like that. I have stuff like that all like I have certain mugs that I use on certain days. I have a Friday mug. I have a Saturday and a Sunday mug. I have a specific fork I have to use every day. I have different things assigned to different days and different times all throughout my life. I like that. I like that. Some people might find that

but I feel like that's cool. I don't know. Humans are cool. Anyways, my vegetarian meal that I love to make are really geared, like, I really will lean towards Mexican food because it's the easiest to be vegetarian with. And I love making enchiladas of all kinds. I've made breakfast enchiladas, sweet potato enchiladas. Recently, I've been making these smoky black bean and mango guacamole tacos with some crispy taco shells and those have been really yummy because that's now my new vegan glue free diet

and so those have been good and then snack-wise I like making Trader Joe's has the best nuts and combination of nuts so I always get different like I'll get sunflower seeds and I'll get their pistachio

nuts and meats is what it's called don't ask me why and I'll get raisins and I kind of make my own trail mix so that's one of my favorite snacks right now I love nuts yeah that was one of the things I was excited to eat after I got my braces off

because I couldn't have any nuts or almonds. And I love cashews and I love almonds. So you can make your own trail mix now. Have you been in Trader Joe's and had their nuts? I don't think I've had their cashews, but nothing like the mix things. Okay. They're not, I make my own mixes.

I just get all the individual ones and I create my own little trail mix. You would like it. They have the best kind. But those would be the two for me. Is there any food you've missed since going vegan, gin in Oklahoma City? We did talk a little bit about this whole journey and stuff on part one, but I still want you to answer.

I'd say the only thing I really miss is like a pepperoni pizza. Like I haven't had a pepperoni pizza in probably over 10 years at this point. Would you have a pepperoni pizza just to have like a bite? That would, I don't know. Like I haven't had meat in so long. I don't know if I'd go pepperoni pizza first. I'd probably go like chicken tender before I went pepperoni pizza. But I used to love going to C-C's and I would just crush like just.

plates of pizza, I would say that's the one thing I miss the most. Because I've had like vegan pizza, which I don't really feel was like real pizza, because it doesn't really taste the same. Yeah. But there's just something about that crunch of a pepperoni. It's true. That good old classic, just OG pizza. The healthy ones are good, but the OGs. Yeah, greasy and cheesy. Yes. I, for sure, in my five days of not having anything. I already missed Jocelyn, so there's that anything sweet. I miss all of my sweets. That would be cool to have.

So that's all I got. Mike D's gone a lot longer, so it makes a lot more sense. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be our back. 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 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 likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like it was a little bit unbelievable until I really start making money. It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future.

This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they see all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything. But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food.

They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network On the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about, and they are experts at everything.

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Cougler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean the, like, the president? You think Canada has a president? You think China has a president?

Those law a rouset. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that saying.

It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual poem. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

They hold him Kay Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues. I like the bougie style of Housewives show.

I think it looks like it's going to be interesting. On the podcast, Reality with the King, I, Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real House Wise franchise, the drama, the alliances, and the team everybody's talking about. As an executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it. I understand the game.

As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this. At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. to hear this and more, listen to Reality with the King on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Why do you not ever post any pictures of your old self? We'd love to see the progress. This is from Jalen. That is an interesting question because I feel like I used to do that a lot,

maybe like when I was five years or so away from when I lost all my weight, and where I felt like I was doctorate. documenting that a little bit more. And I kind of thought about it recently of even seeing like, even though it's been pretty recent of like me getting my braces off, it's weird to see me now with braces looking back on that. So I think really is that I don't really recognize myself when I go back and look at some of those pictures.

Not that I do it because I'm ashamed. There's also like, I would say maybe three years of my life that aren't documented because I didn't like taking pictures at all. Like I would take pictures of people like. of my family, but I would never want to be in the picture. So I would say maybe from like 2011 to like 2013, there aren't even that many pictures of me just because I hated it. But yeah, I don't know.

I don't think I've made it a conscious thing to not post old pictures. But I think I haven't really done a like, here's me, 10 years ago, here's me now, here's like how I did it. Like I just kind of been a little bit more removed from that, that I kind of forgot that that was like, a big part of me for a while. I know you did a video at one point where you were like, this is my journey and this is what I did.

It's been a while since it, but I don't think you've ever not intentionally not, and you've posted it of, I've seen them. I just don't think you like scream it all the time, post it all the time. Yeah, I just like, I know that that is me in those pictures, but it also doesn't feel like me at this point. So even now I think I'm going to look back on from like a couple of years ago and be like man I look weird with races just judging yourself left it right right you all of those are parts of your story though I hope you know that

they're not bad parts of your story you just see them as bad now yeah because I think some people who maybe maybe they're just stumbled upon me probably don't even know that version of me and I think that's that's the only reason I would do it is because I think somebody could stumble upon me like posting my long runs and think like this is just some douchebag who runs a lot and post all of his workouts but to know like where I came from where like 10 years ago I couldn't even walk a mile let alone run a mile so I think that would be the only reason I would bring attention to that is to be like I am not doing this because I'm like boasting about it I'm doing it because of like my journey to get to that point to be able to do that to where that is.

is I guess I would say normal to me, but it shouldn't be normal to me. I think you should start boasting about it more just for the sake of you deserve to tell that side of your story. But also, I think that's stuff that people want to see and hear. People want people being real and authentic. And I think that's a very real part of your story. I wish I had more videos of like me throughout that journey that I could go back and look at. But like I took like one picture before I started losing my weight, which is the only

I usually post where it's like me with like no shirt in front of a mirror. You're doing like a selfie? Yeah. I don't know if I had an iPhone then. I might have had a BlackBerry. But that was like the only picture I took that was just for me. I was even, I was never going to post that.

That was just for me to reference for myself. And I think that first year I took a bunch of progress pictures, but I wish I had like videos. Yeah. So I could kind of see it all and like post the picture, post the video now. now with all that footage. Yeah, that's true. But you could also still, like, you still get the point across by doing your running

videos or anything and, like, have your picture. There's ways. We can talk about it. Part of me thought of, like, man, could I go back and do that again? I don't think I could. I think the reason, I don't want to say it was easy for me, but the reason it was easier for me is because I was in my 20s. And I think I still had, like, my metabolism on my side then.

because I think of people who want to do that now and like at my age or 30s or even 40s and 50s it's a lot harder to do you don't have as much energy it doesn't fall off the same way your body is a whole lot different that's also a when I was sharing my journey

I wish I would have been more like I also did this at 25 like it's going to be different for everybody where you are at in your life just because your body changes I'm like I don't know that I would have as much success if I did it now than versus when I did it 10 years ago.

See, but I think about talking about all those things are important, and I think people want to hear that and see you share those things. So I do think you should if you feel comfortable in doing so. But only if you do, because if you don't feel comfortable, then the point is not going to be coming across the same. All right. Have you ever been injured from running? How do you mentally recover Jordan in Wichita?

I've, I always take a tumble at least one. once a year. And about a month ago, I took a spill where I was running and then I was paying attention to my surroundings where I saw this car about a turn. So I was like, all right, I got to make sure I either turn before I get to them so I don't like do that awkward like, oh, I'm going to go, you're going to let me go type thing and in between of all that going on in my head my foot got like stuck in like a like a chunk in the road where I didn't see it and like my foot immediately stopped and my body kept going but I'm also so aware of it now at this point that I'm a really good faller like I know how to fall where I'm not going to injure myself like a lot of people make the mistake of like trying

to catch yourself and that's where you're going to like break something because you're trying to catch yourself you're going to break like your wrist or something So I'm really good at doing like the, maybe it's like a gymnastics move or something where you kind of take the tumble and you kind of roll in. You kind of roll into it. So the only thing that got hurt from that, which I still kind of have it, is like I kind of like caught my hand just a little bit. I had like a scratch on my leg. And then my ankle didn't really, I didn't really hurt it. But it kind of just felt like that initial like I just got punched there.

So it didn't really affect me that much. and once my hand kind of healed, like that was it. So I've been really good about prepping my body before I run to make sure I don't get injured. Because I think that's where a lot of people do is if you don't stretch and you're not prepared for it, you just hop right into it, which I could do back when I was first starting out. Like, I never stretched. Once I hit 30, I'm like, I got to start stretching. Stretching is good no matter what.

I think it's whether you're running, whether you're in the gym, lifting, or just walking or doing whatever, I think stretching is really important because it's warming your body up to reduce injury. So I've never been like fully sidelined from running because I would feel fine in saying that you're always kind of banged up. Like there's always something from running.

That's why I don't even encourage it to people. You're always going to be kind of banged up because it is a physical thing that it does take a toll on your body. like luckily like all my joints and stuff were good and like my knees don't hurt which is what a lot of people try to discourage me from running as much as I do they're like your knees are good at hurt you're like I was feeling that way when I wasn't doing any physical activity so it's like I don't know what to do here I don't work out and my entire body shuts it down I work out and like you also have these injuries so I'd rather do the one where I'm actually getting movement but it is a physical thing that it's going to take a toll on you and there's always going to be be like your toe kind of hurts. Your ankle feels a little weird. But it's kind of like being hurt versus being injured where you're always going to

hurt a little bit. But if you're really injured where you're running and you're like, what I do is the hop test where before you run, if you can like hot like a kind of like a high knee, if anything hurts when you high knee, you should not run. Okay, that's a good test. That's the test. I learned that on TikTok of like if you if you hop kind of like you're just doing high knees before you run and something hurts, probably shouldn't run. If you can do that and you feel

fine, you're good to go. What if I feel that every day? Because giving some perspective, you're talking about how, like, you always feel a little hurt? Yeah, that's just me every day. I don't even run. So in perspective, my idea is right that you should just be active in general because you're going to be hurting no matter what. Because I'm not at a point where my body is in pain at all times, but it's just something where you're just kind of have wear and tear, much like you drive your car every day, it's going to have some wear and tear just from, you're going to need an oil change, you're always going to have something that can probably have some attending to, which I feel is also just a little bit with getting older, but it's like anytime you do something physically,

you're going to just wear yourself out. Same thing like an athlete would. They might not get hurt every game that's going to keep them from playing, but they're going to get banged up. So it's all about doing things to maintain yourself as much. as you can, like doing an Epsom salt bath, doing some icy hot, just doing things to kind of help your body, which I would love to get a massage, but I cannot do it. You can't do massages? I can't physically put myself through that because it feels so, I can't stop laughing. Seriously, they are the best.

You're going to talk about relaxing and not thinking about anything? I just melt. I'm like a piece of butter. Put me on the bed and I just melt. Like, I can't do anything where somebody is like, touching me and like I just can't stop laughing. That's funny. As having a runner body, you definitely need that.

Yeah, I would love it because I feel like it would be very beneficial to me to just have like these things because like my legs do get very tight. So I do like I don't know what that roll like that roller thing is called. Or you just roll on it. And that I feel so much better after that. And like man, if I had like a real legit massage, I know it would feel better. Okay, okay. Hear me out.

Maybe you take it gummy. Not the one that makes you laugh because there's different ones. There's one that you'll definitely laugh, the moron. But there's ones that decompress you and, like, stress goes down. And maybe if you take one of those before a massage, but then you might be dehydrated. I don't know. I feel like you should try it. I feel like this is how you can potentially, you know, just a little.

And then you pass out. Can you do shorter ones? Because all the ones I've seen are, like, an hour. Yeah. You can do a 30-minute massage. It's just you get, it's worth more to do. an hour massage because the payment is still really there. We could definitely do a 30 minute

massage and like test it out. Yeah, because I don't know if I could, I feel like 30 minutes would be a lot for me. Like I'd be like maybe 10 to 15 but maybe meeting at 30. Are you overall ticklish or do you have certain ticklish spots? My calves are really ticklish.

It just feels funny. I think I am pretty much overly ticklish just in every part of my body except like my feet. Okay. Well, you can always. go into one and tell them and tell them and be like, hey guys, I'm a little ticklish, see how this goes. I need to be really gentle with me. And they'll, like, gear it towards you. You need to have a massage. I think your body would appreciate it. Because sometimes I feel like I just need to be,

like, you know, like the baking rolling pin. Like, I just feel like I need that over my whole body. You need to be rolled out. Just, like, flattened out and, like, cranked out. I'm sure you could buy that online, and I bet you can talk your wife and make you that happen. That's what you need. Maybe a silly question about how long do your shirt? shoes last after all of that running. Elida in Texas. This is a great question. It's one of my favorite things is I love putting wear and tear on shoes because I see

people like running influencers. They have like brand new shoes all the time and they're never dirty. I'm like, it's not fun. Like the fun part about getting running shoes to me is how dirty I can get them. And right now I've gotten to a point where I think it's better to have two different pairs at the same time because before, I mean, this was just this year that I started doing this, I have like two pairs that I kind of

rotate between. I have one pair for long runs that are, they have a little bit more like ankle support just because I am conscious of like how I did fall. Like I want to make sure my ankle is supported. And then I have another pair that are a little bit more cushion. They have like, they're thicker and a little bit less support, but I feel like they're better for like recovery runs of like

I'm just cruising here. So for each one of those, they save between 300 to 500 miles. So for me, that's about if I ran just in one pair, they would last me three months, which is a good amount of running shoes they run through. So I was like, if I have two different ones, I'm putting on half the miles on each of them. Maybe I can extend it a little bit. But right now, with both the pairs I've been running in for the last maybe two and a half months, I'm probably nearing the end of them.

And I can kind of just tell by how dirty they get and how much the souls just kind of start to wear out. Whenever you can feel the road and you feel like a rock kind of hit you, you're like, okay, these are starting to wear out a little bit. I feel like a running company needs to be created where it's kind of like a bombas or like a tom's where, and maybe there's more donating somewhere else, but maybe that you can donate your used running shoes

and they can recycle them to make new running shoes. Is there something like that that exists? I know Nike makes some with like recycled and they're actually kind of cool because they have like that weird like speckled material to them. I don't know if they do it from all running shoes or where they get those materials. That could just be like recycled plastics that they put in the soles.

Those do look cool. I have a pair of those. See, and that's cool. But I feel like that would be so smart because if you have this experience, most people have like a running, any runner is going to probably have a similar experience if they run as much as you do,

there should be a company that does this because then it would be so good for the environment and you make a lot of money. Someone did ask me one time, like what I do with my old shoes, and as much as I would like to donate them, nobody would want it. They're so dirty and they smell so bad by the end of it,

especially in the summer where it's just like, all the sweat just goes to your feet. You're like, nobody wants these. Yeah, and so you have to throw them away, but you could recycle them. I do feel bad throwing those things away because it's like, dang, these are like shoes. I know.

But it's like they're unusable. Hey, I found your new business idea. There it is. One for one shoes? Yeah. I feel like that would be a billion dollar company. That one feels good to me because I feel like it would work and you'd be helping because all the runners would do it, especially if you get like a high quality running shoes that you put together

and you're a runner so you know what those would be like. Just saying. Shark tank. Shark tank. Right here on BestBids. I'm giving you 10% of my company for $500,000. Yes. Somebody do it and tell me.
