1. Behind the Scenes at the CMA Awards Night

Angela Yee’s Outfit Dilemma ([24:23] - [28:03]): Angela shares her challenges in selecting the perfect outfit for the highly formal CMA Awards. Struggling to infuse her personality into traditional suit attire, she experimented with various styles, including a leather jacket paired with non-traditional pants reminiscent of her punk rock days. Despite her efforts, she felt these choices were too casual for the event, ultimately reverting to a classic suit adorned with her signature Doc Martens to maintain a touch of individuality.

Angela ([25:26]): "I wanted just to wear something that showed like my personality... It just doesn't feel like me. Like, a suit and tie is just not me."

Mike D’s CMA Afterparty Experience ([24:23] - [35:23]): Mike recounts his exhilarating yet exhausting experience at the CMA Awards afterparty. Initially intending to stay for a short time, he ended up pulling an all-nighter filled with free drinks, fun at a local bar, and last-minute preparations for a Thanksgiving potluck. This overindulgent night left him drained the following day, dealing with the repercussions of late-night festivities.

Mike D ([32:32]): "I stayed out until close to 3am and then I cooked my Thanksgiving potluck side dish at 3 o'clock in the morning."

Angela’s Mixed Feelings About Attending ([24:23] - [28:03]): Angela admits her reservations about attending the CMA Awards, feeling overwhelmed and questioning her belonging. However, with encouragement from her wife and a desire to represent herself authentically, she decided to attend. Despite initial doubts, Angela found herself enjoying the event once there, highlighting the importance of overcoming internal hesitations.

Angela ([27:24]): "I felt pressure to go to those things, because I don't think pressure is the word. I feel like I don't belong there."

2. Navigating Personal and Family Dynamics During the Holidays

Angela’s Vegan and Gluten-Free Thanksgiving ([02:21] - [05:12]): Angela discusses her unique approach to Thanksgiving as a vegan and gluten-free individual. Opting to order pre-made sides and focus on personally preparing main dishes, she aims to create a more manageable and enjoyable holiday experience. This strategy helps her navigate the challenges of traditional Thanksgiving meals that often revolve around meat and gluten-heavy dishes.

Angela ([05:28]): "We are actually like ordering a bunch of sides that are already made and then we're just focusing on like our main thing."

Mike D’s Experience Hosting Family ([06:11] - [10:08]): Mike describes the joys and challenges of hosting his family during the holidays. While he loves having everyone together, the chaos of a busy household and the dynamics of managing multiple family groups can be overwhelming. Additionally, he shares a personal connection with his dog’s return, highlighting the emotional aspects of family gatherings.

Mike D ([07:54]): "I’m really excited to see her. I'm hoping she remembers me..."

3. Personal Encounters and Safety Concerns

Angela’s Unsettling Run Club Interaction ([09:55] - [16:15]): Angela shares a concerning incident where a stranger confronted her during her runs, expressing worry over her running habits. This unexpected interaction left her feeling violated and questioning the stranger’s motives. She reflects on the importance of self-awareness and managing unsolicited advice in public spaces.

Angela ([10:08]): "There was a guy, like an older guy in a minivan... he just wanted to tell me I run too much. It was so weird and violating."

Mike D’s Advice on Handling Unsolicited Criticism ([14:50] - [16:15]): Mike offers reassurance to Angela, emphasizing self-awareness and listening to one's own body over stranger opinions. He suggests that such unsolicited advice often stems from others projecting their own insecurities or desires.

Mike D ([15:35]): "Maybe he's just jealous because he can't run. He wants you to live the life he lives."

---

4. Managing Social Interactions and Memory Challenges

Forgetting Names and Recognizing Faces ([42:26] - [46:48]): Mike and Angela delve into the common issue of recognizing individuals without recalling their names. They discuss strategies to navigate such social interactions without feeling awkward, sharing personal anecdotes about forgetting names despite multiple encounters.

Angela ([43:11]): "I just don't address anybody by their names. I've just eliminated that altogether."

Brain Fatigue from Managing Multiple Responsibilities ([46:00] - [47:48]): Both hosts acknowledge the mental strain of juggling numerous tasks and responsibilities, leading to moments of forgetfulness and cognitive overload. They compare their experiences to performing multiple complex tasks simultaneously, likening it to "spinning plates" and "riding a unicycle."

Mike D ([47:15]): "It's like you’re doing like three magic tricks at once... Why can’t you kick that soccer ball?"

---

5. Personal Hobbies and Collector’s Interests

Angela’s Passion for Figure and Record Collecting ([50:14] - [57:12]): Angela reveals her interest in collecting action figures and records, finding joy in owning tangible items that represent her favorite superheroes and comic books. She appreciates the community and nostalgia associated with physical media, contrasting it with the ephemeral nature of digital formats.

Angela ([51:29]): "I put them all in like the back display in my studio... there's probably like six behind there now at this point."

Mike D’s Record Player Journey ([51:35] - [56:54]): Mike shares his venture into record collecting and the challenges of setting up a record player. Despite initial frustrations with technical difficulties, he expresses a growing appreciation for vinyl records as a means to support artists and preserve musical legacies.

Mike D ([55:02]): "I got told multiple times I was so excited about this cow... I was just a little kid that just got told I could buy my favorite toy."

Angela ([57:44]): "You can listen to my podcast, movie Mike's Movie Podcast, Spoiler free movie reviews."

Mike D ([58:05]): "You can check out my podcast, Take Those Personally. Both of them are good."

[Morgan]

1 Behind the Scenes with a member of the show.

[Mike]

Good morning everybody. Hey everybody, and Happy Saturday. Welcome to the Best Bits. Post CMA Awards and pre Thanksgiving.

[Angela Yee]

That's weird.

[Mike]

Prime time right now, babe.

[Angela Yee]

A lot of things going on.

[Mike]

I know, it's really exciting. How are you Feeling. Mike. Mike. If you didn't just hear his voice, he is joining me this weekend.

[Angela Yee]

I'm, like, not quite ready for everything yet. It doesn't feel like holiday time to me.

[Mike]

You know, every time you come on here, you're like, dang, the year's just flying by.

[Angela Yee]

It's just like, I feel like it just gets earlier and earlier every year. Like, I used to be really big into Black Friday, and now that's not really a thing anymore because Black Friday starts like a month ago.

[Mike]

It's true. They started, I think, at the beginning of November for some stores now.

[Angela Yee]

And it just feels like everything happens so early that once it's actually time for it, I'm not ready for it because it's already been happening for so long.

[Mike]

This is true. So not ready for Thanksgiving.

[Angela Yee]

No.

[Mike]

Or Christmas.

[Angela Yee]

No. Also, as a vegan, like, what am I going to eat? Like, there's not really. I don't really look forward to turkey. All the food.

[Mike]

This is.

[Angela Yee]

So there's not a lot on that front for me to look forward to not going home for Thanksgiving, so.

[Mike]

Okay, well, let's get into it. I mean, we're like. We kind of already are a little bit. That was our little intro. But if you do want to check out the part two where there's like, all the bits. And catching up on the Bobby Bone show, lots of CMA content. There's a hoodie controversy, if you will. There's some flirty things that happened in some of the interviews. Lunchbox did our acceptance speech. Just a lot of good stuff over there. But let's talk about life right now. So you're not going home for the holidays.

[Angela Yee]

Now, Thanksgiving is hard because it's a quick turnaround and everybody's going home. So travel is just insane. We've done it before. And also it's hard to split time between two families.

[Mike]

Yeah. In such a short amount of time.

[Angela Yee]

The one. One time we did go home and we did both, like a combo Thanksgiving where my family and my wife's family came together. That was fun. But that's hard to do. It's also, you're gambling a little bit, banking on the fact that both families here to get along, which was nice that time because everybody did get along. But it just seems like more times you do that, you run into the possible risk of people not getting along.

[Mike]

So that was why it was maybe a one and done type scene.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Everything went well. We're good. That was fun. But it's just a lot to go back for Thanksgiving and then go back home again for Christmas.

[Mike]

Yeah. And maybe it's something that you guys can do every couple of years versus, you know, every single year.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Because last year we were like, we're not going to do that again. And we went to New York and went to the parade.

[Mike]

Fun.

[Angela Yee]

I do remember this and I remember thinking like, we just wanted to do something while we're still just us two, don't have kids and we want to go do something fun for ourselves. So we did that and that was awesome.

[Mike]

Are you guys going to go on a trip this year?

[Angela Yee]

No, we're staying here because this is the first time we're staying here since like 2020, I think.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Because the Christmas, I mean, the Thanksgiving before we went with our. Both of our families, we were in Costa Rica. So it was like we just want a normal Thanksgiving at home where we kind of try our own traditions.

[Mike]

Okay. All right. Anything you think you're going to try this year for a new tradition?

[Angela Yee]

We are actually like ordering a bunch of sides that are already made and then we're just focusing on like our main thing. And I think we'll probably just make what we each want to eat.

[Mike]

Okay. A vegan Thanksgiving.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And gluten free. Because isn't your wife also.

[Angela Yee]

She's gluten free. So it's hard for us to find those of those foods because. Cause it's so specific. And you think of Thanksgiving food, it's all either meat or glutinous.

[Mike]

That's true. Glutinous.

[Angela Yee]

Like all the breads and everything.

[Mike]

That's so true. Okay, well, what else is going on besides the holidays and that's coming around the corner. I am with you. My family's about to come into town this weekend when everybody's hearing this and they'll be here for a week, which I'm really excited about. They always come to me for Thanksgiving because I can't ever get back into town and then I'm by myself.

[Angela Yee]

Do you like having everybody in the house or is it overwhelming to you?

[Mike]

Oh, I love it. I love hosting people. Like, the thing that's overwhelming about it to me is that I love my house being clean and there's like chaos in my house for a week. But I always just remind myself, like, it's once a year and it's so much fun having them all in town for you.

[Angela Yee]

When you have your parents back in town, do you revert back to being a kid? Because sometimes when I have like even my older brother and sister Back in town, it's almost like they forget that I'm an adult now, and they still treat me the same way they treated me when I was, like a kid. To where it feels like, hey, we're gonna do this. And they're saying that like, they're the authority. I'm like, no, you're, like, in my house now. Like, I. I'm gonna do what I want. And this is kind of how I go. Is that kind of how it is with your family? Like, your parents go back to being like, all right, we're gonna do this? And you're like, no, you're in my house.

[Mike]

You know, they do. At least in the sense of, like, I always have a list for my dad, and I'm like, can you help me with these things? Because I need some help.

[Angela Yee]

Okay. That's also fun to do, though.

[Mike]

Yeah. He loves it. He's like, make sure you have your list ready for me so I can get things done. But I. That's where I, like, kind of revert as a kid. Otherwise, they look to me. They're like, tell us all the new stuff we got to go do. Because they.

[Angela Yee]

So when it comes to doing things, you're still the one. Because they're here. You're like, okay, we're here to go do this. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And because they know I'm out doing stuff all the time and trying it, they don't know what's here and what's good that I've tried versus, like, oh, this isn't worth the time. So they do at least allow me in that capacity. But for sure, like, the dynamic goes back to me being the youngest, and I'm just like, they're hanging out kind of thing. I get what you're talking about. So I am excited for that. And they're bringing. My parents are bringing their three dogs, one of them being the dog that I had found and they adopted.

[Angela Yee]

That's cool.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I'm really excited to see her. I'm hoping she remembers me, because I dropped them. I dropped her off with them in July when I went back for my sister's wedding. So it's been a couple of months now, and either she's going to want nothing to do with me, or she's going to freak out, and I cannot wait to see it. So that'll be really exciting.

[Angela Yee]

You think you feel it more when you go home, though, and you're under their roof and doing things, like, even, like, going out to run errands. Like, I want to go Drive myself or do you have to always go with them and be the passenger a little bit?

[Mike]

Yeah, definitely more when I'm at their house.

[Angela Yee]

It feels weird to me. Like even now as adult, when I go back, we have to rent a car because I can't be at the mercy of like my parents or my wife's parents are like, no, I need to be able to get around to do what I need to do and do what I want to do.

[Mike]

Yeah, like, hey, can, can you take me here? Can I go here? Is this allowed? It is. It's funny because you're also like living there for. Because we go back and we get to spend some time for Christmas and it's like I have to adjust and like try and put my routines back into like my old life in a way. You know what I mean? Like where I want to do all these things but like I'm in my parents house again and I don't. I feel like I'm five years old.

[Angela Yee]

You're like checking in like I'll be back at 9:30, like why do I have to tell you what time back home?

[Mike]

Yeah. And it's, it's like more the existence of like, oh dang, somebody's actually here and like wants to know what I'm doing versus me just going and being like, oh, you don't need to know, it's fine. Like I remember last year when I went home for Christmas, I went on a date. I was like, this is going to be weird. This is going to be weird because I'm weird. And it did because it was literally like I was about to leave and I had told them prior to us, like, okay, I think I'm going to go on a date. And then they had all these questions like, no, no, no, that's not how this works. I'm just going like, it's just a first date. We're just seeing what's happening. So there was, it's more involvement in your life when you go back home. I feel like. And as an adult you're kind of like, oh, that feels weird. I don't feel like the involvement needs to be there.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, what other updates are going on besides the holidays? Oh, I need to know about Run Club. Did you go to Run Club? Did you make a friend? We need an update.

[Angela Yee]

I tried to go to Run Club and I did not make it to Run Club.

[Mike]

Mike, this is like what in the timeframe since you've here a month and a half ago.

[Angela Yee]

And now all the Run clubs are kind of shutting down because it's getting colder.

[Mike]

Mike.

[Angela Yee]

I've tried to make. I have tried to make a friend on the trail because the weird thing is, like, I start to notice other people who run as much as I do, because around, like, the routes I run, I start to just notice the same people I've been seeing for a while now. And there's this one guy who I always run into, and I know he's a long distance runner too, because I'll see him like 30 to 45 minutes apart going on the trail. And I always, like, try to wave and say hi to him, and he never says hi to me back. And the thing is, like, I just want to compliment him because I've noticed the more and more times I've seen him, he's, like, gotten fitter and, like, healthier looking. And I can see, like, the work he's putting into it. And I'm like, man, can I just make, like, a casual friend? Like, just out in the wild like that? It's so hard to do.

[Mike]

I mean, you totally can, but you're going to have to be maybe a little bit more aggressive about it than just this slight wave.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it is hard to do. Like, you're not going to stop somebody. But I just feel like there's like this weird bond that you have with somebody else. You see doing the same thing as you over and over again, and you, like, encounter each other, but you never really say anything to them. It feels like there's like almost like a misconnection there.

[Mike]

There is. You currently have a misconnection happening in your life. Maybe you have to go because you're so used to seeing him a little bit earlier to see if maybe you guys hit the trail at the same time. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Then I started, like, following him home and then.

[Mike]

No, no, no, not doing that.

[Angela Yee]

Hey, man, I've been seeing you out running. Oh. The weird thing that did happen to me running the other day is somebody was concerned for me and they told me, like, hey, I've been like. They literally yelled at me from the street saying, hey, I've been seeing you run, and I think you run too much.

[Mike]

Seriously.

[Angela Yee]

And I just found it weird that there's been a person, like, watching me. And it wasn't even what he said of, like, it was a dude. It was a guy, like an older guy in, like, a minivan. And he's, like, yelled at me. And I had my headphones on, But I'm always aware of my surroundings because I want to know, like, Hear cars, hear people yelling at me. And he, like, yelled at me, like, flagged me down to stop and said he'd been watching me. And he's like, I think you run too much. And he said I should look into the effects of, like, overrunning. And I don't buy into the thing of, like, people telling me what to do. But it was just so weird that somebody had been watching, like, my route and knowing how much I run. And then I worry, like, how. Like, how long has he been watching me? And does he watch me go all the way home? Does he watch me go to my car? Like, it just felt really weird and, like, violating. But it's like, I'm out in public, you can see people. But it just felt so weird.

[Mike]

Do you run? Kind of. I'm assuming there's houses that you run by at different points.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, I change my route up all the time, so it's never the same spot because I don't want to get bored. But now I have to think about, like, are people watching me this entire time?

[Mike]

Is it possible that, like, he lives near one of the particular trails where, like, it's a spot you always kind of hit, even though if you take different routes.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it's close to. Yeah. I would say the part he saw me at is usually the basis of where I start or at least go through at some point. But it's really weird for him to see me repeatedly because I run at all different times. Sometimes it's early on the weekend, Sometimes it's later because of work. It's just really weird.

[Mike]

And it's also weird that he just felt, this is a stranger. Like, it's weird that he felt so inclined to stop what he was doing and stop you from what you were doing and say, hey, this is how I think you should stop doing something. You know what I mean?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. And you have no idea about anything about me.

[Mike]

Yeah. Like what? The audacity. Honestly. Oh, my gosh, Mike, I'm sorry that happened. That's scary.

[Angela Yee]

It's weird. And as somebody who, like, just struggled. I've struggled with, like, working out and, like, thinking, am I doing too much? Am I doing too little?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And it's just, like, to have this other layer of, like, am I really, like. I don't know. It just felt really weird.

[Mike]

No, I mean, because, Mike, at the end of the day, you know you and your body better than anybody else. Right. And sure, some people overindulge and less. Whatever. There's always going to be this balance, especially when you're trying to understand what you want to do, but you feel good. You don't feel like if you're over doing something, your body will tell you that, right?

[Angela Yee]

You're.

[Mike]

You will feel that in your bones. Your body loves to tell you what's going on. So unless you feel that way, you're not doing anything wrong. You know what I mean? Like, and I know that's hard because somebody literally, when somebody out of the blue comes at you and says, this is. Observes you so much to the point of saying this is what you're doing wrong, which is an entirely wrong thing in my mind. But does that. I can see where it would plant the seed in your brain to then justify the things that you've already felt. You know what I mean?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, exactly.

[Mike]

But you. But you're not, Mike. You're healthy. You're doing great things for your body. You're moving the way that you should be. And maybe this guy is just jealous because he can't run. You know what I mean? Like, maybe he's jealous because he can't go running and he doesn't like running long distances and he wants you to live the life. If there's something I have learned about people who criticize openly and without the full history or knowledge of something is that they want you to live your life the way they live theirs. So all he was doing was projecting what he thinks and what he wants other people to live, like, based on his own life. So he's driving a minivan, you know, do you want to be driving a minivan instead of running on a Saturday morning, enjoying your life?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it just took me a while to shake that. Like, I literally thought about it for like two to three weeks. I just would come back to those comments of thinking, like, just questioning everything for a while.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I'm really sorry that that's not fair. It shouldn't have happened. You know what I mean? Like, at the end of the day, it just shouldn't have happened. And nobody should feel so obligated to tell a stranger such an unsolicited, unwarranted opinion. You're going to make me go on a tangent. People make me so mad sometimes.

[Angela Yee]

The unsolicited advice and opinion.

[Mike]

Yeah, like, that's so. And it was so unwarranted in so many ways. And also creepy that he's been watching you. Yeah, I think maybe he's obsessed with you.

[Angela Yee]

The creepy factor is more what I was concerned with, of just somebody. The idea of somebody watching me because I think when you're out in public, as much as we think that everything we do people are paying attention to, it's all inside our minds. But that was just the one moment I had of like, oh, there are actually people like paying attention to things. And then I also have this whole other theory of like NPCs and like, am I living in some weird simulation? Like, I know Bobby goes on that tangent, but there are just some people I see so repeatedly and I have no interactions with them. It just feels weird to me. Like people at the gym, people out in public, at the grocery store. I see them repeatedly. I'm like, is there like just a limited amount of people that I encounter or is it just a coincidence that I'm. I'm also at the same places at the same time as these people in all these weird situations?

[Mike]

No, I think that's an interesting perspective too, right? Because you'll run into other people for the first time ever. And you're like, we have the same circles, we've had all these same scenarios. How have we never met each other? And then you're like, I see this other person 50 times a week. Yeah, why?

[Angela Yee]

And I'll even like change up my routines and I'll encounter the same people. And I'm like, how, how am I still running into you if I'm not doing this thing at the normal time that I'm doing it at? But then I like look back on it like, well, I'm also here at a different time, so maybe they're thinking the same thing about me.

[Mike]

It's possible. You guys, you guys are both NBC's to each other.

[Angela Yee]

Are there just NPCs in our life just all the time?

[Mike]

I think that's possible. I mean, I'm never going to say nothing is not an option. But I also think people who are super self aware is very uncommon, right? To be aware of your surroundings.

[Angela Yee]

So much so that I am like hyper aware of my surroundings.

[Mike]

And a lot of people aren't. You know, like I see and experience everything that happens to me. And there's a lot of people that don't. They'll be like this, like all the crazy things that happen to me, right. I have weird stories to share all the time and I think so much of it is related to that. I'm just paying attention a lot. Like I'm so much like you, hyper aware of what's happening around me anytime I go out in public spaces. So I can't not notice things. And I think there's a lot of people that just go out, exist and do and they're in their bubble and there's nothing wrong with that. But when you're in your bubble, you're not seeing everything that's happening around you.

[Angela Yee]

I wish I had just like a level of that inside of me. Ye like not being able to care about my surroundings. Even like sometimes in public where you encounter people who aren't really trying to be rude but they're just like not. There's just no nothing going on to where they're aware of people around them or their surroundings or even that they're doing anything wrong. I was like, I wish I just had an ounce of that in me because I'm out in public thinking like, I don't want to inconvenience this person. I'm taking too long to do this. I'm holding everybody up in this line and there are people who are just like la de da de da cool. And I'm like, I just wish I had that inside of me.

[Mike]

I know, but it also makes you a better person that you don't, Mike. You know, you are self aware and you are considerate of other people around you. And I think when you are in that bubble, it takes, you're in a situation of lack of consideration for a lot of other people around you. So it makes you a good person.

[Angela Yee]

Okay.

[Mike]

So keep being a good person. I'm sorry you got creeped out and hopefully this guy leaves you alone.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Also creepy that he was in a minivan and this happened because those are the kind of, those are the vans that they take you away and you know. So please be careful. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

[Mike]

All right, Mike, let's talk CMA Awards. We both went to this show.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Experiences, stories behind the scenes. That's what the people want to hear is what I kept being told when I put in the questions. So give me, give me your story of CMA Night and any other things that happened that week.

[Angela Yee]

I will have to say going into it, I also had a struggle with what I was going to wear and I wanted to wear something that had a little bit of me in it because it is a very formal event where suit and tie is kind of the norm. And I wanted just to wear something that showed like my personality. And I tried to. And the more and more I tried out different things, I'm like, this just isn't working. It's not going to fit. Because it is such a formal event where unless you're like a nominated artist at the award show, if you wear something a little out of pocket, it's going to look a little weird. So I tried out probably four to five different things. Going into it, I was like, you know what? I'm just going back to the original suit I had and not Trying anything else out because it just doesn't feel right.

[Mike]

What were these other options that you were looking at?

[Angela Yee]

I was trying, like, at first I tried, like, this look where it was like a leather jacket still, like a. Like, a shirt and a tie underneath it. And, like, different pants. They weren't, like, traditional, like, dress pants. More like kind of like vintage. My old, like, punk rock pants.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Angela Yee]

And I was like, it just doesn't feel right. It doesn't look right. I tried to go more casual with, like, no suit and tie and nothing. Just really felt like it was CMA worthy to the point where, like, if I wear this, it's gonna feel like I'm just going to the mall or something. So I was like, I just got to kind of commit to it, and I went with the suit.

[Mike]

Well, I do think you have some super nice dress pants. Like, we've talked about it a few times where you're changing up your style and doing things. If I'm thinking of the type of pant correctly, they're kind of more like linen, old school based. Is that.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, that's the vibe going for. Like, I'm really inspired by Tyler, the creator right now, who is like, my. As of right now, like, my fashion just icon. And if I had, like, the money to spend, like, he does, like, that is how I would address. So I was kind of going. I kind of channeled that a little bit. I went shopping and tried to find some things, but I felt like everything I found was a little bit too casual still. And it was like, this is cool, but probably not award show cool.

[Mike]

Well, at least you were having that conversation in your head versus, you know, lunchbox. He just went with it. You could have just sent it, I guess, like, he did.

[Angela Yee]

I was probably two outfits away from coming to something, like, similar that he decided to come with.

[Mike]

But I think your reaction would have been differently because if we all asked, you been like, guys, it was really hard. Like, I kept going through outfits, and it was just a whole situation.

[Angela Yee]

I was like, five minutes before we had to leave. I was still, like, switching out different things because I wasn't set on it. And it wasn't until, like, five minutes, I was like, I just got to put the suit on and get out of here because I was overthinking it.

[Mike]

That's fair. Okay. So that's why you ended up meeting us there.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Okay. Because. So we. Some of us all met at the. Like, our whole plan was all of us to meet at the thing, but that's A, that's okay. Like, you still got it. And you still looked really great that night.

[Angela Yee]

Like, if I'm being completely honest, at one point I was like, I don't think I want to go. And it was like, I feel pressure to go to those things, because I don't think pressure is the word. I feel like I don't belong there. And I feel that I get overwhelmed, like, so much inside my head that I was like, I would just be better off knowing. Not going. I don't think many people would miss me not being there. I even, like, told my wife, like, I don't know if I really want to go. And she's like, you gotta let me know right now. Cause I'm about to get ready. It's an hour and a half process. Let me know. And then I took some time. I was like, okay, I'm good. We can go. I can get my work done. I just got to figure out what I'm going to wear.

[Mike]

I'm really glad you ended up coming, because we would have missed you, and we would have been bummed that you weren't there. Like, it was a bummer that Bobby wasn't feeling good and he couldn't come. You know what I mean? Like, it's a. It was a whole team outing. So I'm glad that you got yourself in a place where you felt good enough to come. So I'm proud of you. Like, that took something, you know, to get yourself together and do that. And I've also been there. I've. There's times where I have put on 80 million outfits, and it's literally the Grinch moment where I'm like, that's it. I'm not going.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You know what I mean? Because you're just, like. You're tired of it and getting around and having this perspective on when you're going out. And you're like, I have to look a certain way and feel a certain way to be doing this. When sometimes you just have to show up in the world as you are. And that's what you did.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. I think that's what it comes down to. You said of, like, how you feel you need to look, and I felt the way I needed to look. I wasn't going to look at a picture of me dressed that way and be happy the way I looked, because I'm like. It just doesn't feel like me. Like, a suit and tie is just not me.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

But I realized that, like, having this job, having to do professional things, you just have to kind of buy into that and do that. And I just got to get more comfortable with that. So the only thing I kind of held onto was, like, I'm not going to wear fancy dress shoes. I'm going to wear my Doc Martens. That was like, my one piece of me.

[Mike]

Yeah, you still had it. And you'll find it as you. You've only been kind of really changing up your style the last few years, and I feel like it's something that takes a lot of time, many years, to really cultivate and understand. Okay, this looks good on me. I like this. You have to find your things, and that takes time and patience. That also, we don't really have a lot of. You know what I mean?

[Angela Yee]

Because it's a balance of finding things that you feel good in and also look good in. Because there are certain things that my wife tells me that I look good in, but I don't feel good in. And if I don't feel comfortable in it, I think my energy is just off that I'm going to feel like. I feel very stiff. I don't feel like me. I don't want to take pictures because I don't like the way that I look. So I think it's having to find that medium of, like, I feel comfortable in this, and I also look good in this.

[Mike]

Yeah, and you will. You will find it. You know, you can't find it last minute on a random Wednesday where you have to go to an event, but you will find it. I'm proud of you for ending up going. Are you glad that you ended up going?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Once I was like. Once I was there, we got out of the Uber, we got in the building. Everything else just didn't matter. And that's also kind of how I feel sometimes about deciding what, like, all these things that you build up in your head, by the time you actually get to it, it doesn't really matter. Like, nobody's really looking at you and, like, comparing things. You're thinking about it too much. You're overthinking it. By the time you're just there and in it, it's just like you don't even think about it.

[Mike]

No, it's true. And I would have never known that you had that whole experience until you just told me. Like, you. You played it off super well. At least the night you seemed like you were happy to be there. You were. You saw Posty.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

You were having a good time. So you played it off well. And I think you ended up leaving at some Point early. It was a commercial break. So I didn't know if you guys went and hung out in the back for a while or if you ended.

[Angela Yee]

Up leaving when we were going to the bathroom and then we weren't done in time to get back in and they were like, you know what we saw, everybody we wanted to see, wanted to see Post Malone. We wanted to Shabuzi want to see Kelsey Ballarini, Luke Combs. And after that we're like, you know what, I think we're Good.

[Mike]

You did Ms. Post Malone come out by himself?

[Angela Yee]

I did. I watched it on tv. I was like, ah, crap, I missed that one.

[Mike]

Well, hard to say that, like nobody knew it was coming that he was going to perform twice.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I didn't, I didn't know that either. I was like, oh, we started at the beginning and I was like, ah crap, I missed one. And then we wanted to have seen George Strait, but it was fine.

[Mike]

Yeah. And that was definitely towards the later end of the evening. You know Mike D. I, I don't know if you could have noticed, but Thursday when I came into work, I was struggling.

[Angela Yee]

Stay. How late did you stay up, Mike?

[Mike]

I pulled an all nighter.

[Angela Yee]

So you.

[Mike]

I didn't sleep.

[Angela Yee]

Didn't sleep at all.

[Mike]

I didn't sleep.

[Angela Yee]

Wow.

[Mike]

It was, it was not good. I was not well. I was not. I was. There was nothing happening in my brain. The lights were not on that morning. I went to. So we, I stayed for the whole award show and then there was a CMA afterparty. Went to the CMA after party. Ended up having way too much fun. And I was like. First I was like, oh no, I'll stay for a little bit. I have stuff to do, whatever. So then I'm like, okay, I'm actually having fun. I'm getting like a little bit more drunk as the night goes on because I've had several free drinks at this point and we're having a good time. And then it comes like 1am I'm like, I have to go home.

[Angela Yee]

Like I need you start doing that math of like it's going to take me 20 minutes to get home. By the time I wind down and go to sleep, I can get two hours of sleep, literally.

[Mike]

And I'm having this whole process. And my friend Julia who was with me, she looked at me, she goes, you got me out. Because she didn't go to the award show. She just came out and met me for the after party. And she was like, you got me out at 10pm on a Wednesday, and you're about to go home right now. And I said, I've been awake since 3am Like, I am literally at the point where I'm about to pull an all nighter without intentionally doing it. And she goes, it's one night, like just come out and you can go home after. You can go have another drink and then, you know, get. Still get some sleep. And I was like, fine, I'll go to the bar for one drink. And we went to this, the local bar that everybody goes to that like in the industry. So of course when we show up, it is a giant second after party at the bar. And I'm just having the best time ever. And the bar Normally closes at 2am it did not. The bar did not even close because the bar was having a good time, I guess. And so we stayed out at the bar until like close to 3am and then when I got home, I was like, well, if I go to sleep now, I'm going to get about 10 minutes and it's probably going to be worse. So I. And I forgot I didn't cook my. I didn't cook my Thanksgiving. We had a potluck the next day. So I cooked my Thanksgiving potluck side dish at 3 o'clock in the morning. And I got that made. I also had some friends had come back to the house with me. So we played Mario Kart and I just played Mario Kart and kept myself awake until it's time to come and tour. So that was my CMA Awards night.

[Angela Yee]

That's awesome. Like, I think you look back on life and that's what you're gonna remember. You're not gonna remember the nights you got eight, nine hours of sleep. You're gonna remember the nights you went out and actually did something. So I envy you for that.

[Mike]

Well, you know, you say that and I agree with you. That will be. But I'm telling you, Thursday, I was like, I regret every decision I made. I am so tired. You know when you used to sit in school class and you'd be like, your head was like nodding off. I was doing that. I was like, somebody's totally gonna catch me doing this because I am not well. Like, I need it. I am a sleepy girl. I need sleep more than the average human being. So staying up all night was rough. And then I also had forgotten tortilla chips for my dip. So then I had to go down to Whole Foods and yeah, it was a whole thing. I forgot my wallet. And like, it's. It's Been, you know, when you also. It's just been that week where like when it rains, it pours. Like, my dog got sick, of course, on CMA Day. So it's just it whole day where finally, when Thursday came, it was like, oh, okay, you are going to feel the repercussions of every single one of your actions right now. So it was so much fun up until about Thursday at 7am and my body was. She was done.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, yeah, I haven't done that probably since college. Yeah, I was. Whenever I was interning for the show back in Austin, I was also playing in a band. So we would go play shows and wouldn't be done till like 2am and I had to go in at 5am so there were nights like that where I would just stay up. I maybe sleep an hour and then just go straight to work. But I feel like now as an adult, I don't know if I have it in me to not sleep. See, because I used to be able to do the 20, stay up for 24 hours and then I would recover, like after a day. I don't know that that would happen now.

[Mike]

I'm telling you right now, it doesn't. Your body as an adult was like, no, you need actual sleep and normal food to function. So when you spent the entire day doing nothing but drinking alcohol and eating bad foods and then proceeding not to have any sleep in your body, yeah, I'm shutting down. You're done. Like, you have to tap out at this point.

[Angela Yee]

Because the thing I struggle with now is whenever concerts come to town here and they're on a weeknight or they're on a Sunday, and it's like, I could maybe do that for one night, get home late, sleep a little bit, and then be fine that day. It's that day after that's going to get me. Because you're almost like hyper alert the first day after because you know that you went out and you can't show any signs of weakness and you're like, okay, I'm going to power through this day. It's that next day when you're exhausted that it's like, oh, I shouldn't have done that two days ago.

[Mike]

It is. And the hangover, man, if you drink at all, like, the hangover as you've gotten older will hit for like five days. Like, I'm still dealing with the repercussions of my actions. And I have slept multiple. Like, I should have went into hibernation. I went to sleep last night on a Friday night at like literally 5pm I said I'm done. I don't care what the world needs from me, what is about to happen, whoever's going to blow up my phone, I'm going to bed and I'm just going to sleep forever. So that was my CMA Awards.

[Angela Yee]

That's great. I just love that.

[Mike]

I'm glad you're proud of me. But like I said, we'll see. You know, check in with me next week and see if it's still worth.

[Angela Yee]

It because you had the complete opposite experience of me. Like I left early, I was home, I went to sleep almost at my normal time.

[Mike]

Yep. But you know, the Morgan me right now is really jealous of that. The Morgan that night. No, she was having a great time. Different versions that exist. All right, we're gonna take one more quick break. We'll be right back.

Speaking of all the CMA stories and interactions. So of course, that night you run into just a whole bunch of people that you've met. Whatever. How do you handle a situation when somebody comes up to you? You know them, you recognize them, like, yes, I know who you are. We've had multiple interactions. But you cannot remember their name.

[Angela Yee]

I just don't go for the name. I don't say anybody's name. I don't say your name.

[Mike]

Yeah, but what happens when, like, there's multiple of these where I keep seeing them and I'm like, dang, I need to figure out your name somehow. If I keep running into you and I don't know how, I guess it.

[Angela Yee]

Doesn'T bother me that much because everybody's bad with names. I know people say, like, I'm bad with names. I think everybody is bad with names, but I never address anybody by their names. I've just eliminated that altogether. That I don't feel bad if I don't remember people's names.

[Mike]

Yeah, exactly.

[Angela Yee]

And maybe that's fat of me. Maybe that says something about me. But I don't address anybody by their name and I don't feel awkward about it.

[Mike]

Well, and I don't in those same, like, oh, my gosh, so good to see you. But it makes it. I don't know, it does make me feel bad where I'm like, you. Like, I had this. I had these sweet people who would come up and, and talk about my podcast and stuff. And I'm like, dang, you're so awesome. Why can't I remember your name? And I would get so mad because it's just you meet people in passing so often.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Mike]

It's hard for you to, like, actually be able to correlate, like, unless you've had a genuine, like, moment, experience, hangout that's when I can remember somebody's name. But if I meet you multiple times in passing, I'm going to forget your name.

[Angela Yee]

I think it's because I experienced so much of it. On the other side of, like, doing this show, doing the Bobby cast, where we book a lot of guests and we have artists over, I don't expect them to remember me. And I would feel weird to put them in a position of, like, we've met. Like, I just don't expect people to remember me. In turn, I also sometimes won't remember people if I met them for two minutes randomly. It's hard to do. So I don't expect it back in the same way. I know how hard it is.

[Mike]

Yeah. And maybe that's how most of us are in this industry. We're like, we know each other. It's fine. Don't worry about it. I do like Bobby's trick. I stole that of the Good to see you.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I do that, too.

[Mike]

Yeah. Like that. As soon as he said that, I was like, I'm doing that. I'm stealing that forever because I need it.

[Angela Yee]

I guess for me, it's not so much I worry when I don't remember somebody's name. It's whether I have met them or not, where I. Interacting with this person. Something in my head is going like, have I met this person? And I can't really quite pinpoint it. And I don't want to talk to them in a way that it's me meeting them for the first time if I have had an interaction with them before. Because I would feel bad in that scenario. Like, if I met somebody and I'm, like, saying things like, why are you saying this thing? We've met before. That's where it gets me a little bit.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And you know what?

[Mike]

That happened to me once this week where they were so, like, so confident. We had met before, like, familiar with each other. And I was like, God, I really don't think we've met before. Like, I was, you know, when you were, like, filing the cabinet. Like, what's all in here? Like, let me pull out memories.

[Angela Yee]

I think, because sometimes people approach you in a way that they. It feels like they've met you before.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

And you can't tell if they have or not, or that's just their personality.

[Mike]

That's true. And this person definitely had that personality. So that's why I was sitting there. I was contemplating everything. I was like, dang it, we've met. I don't remember it. Oh, so, yeah. That was one of my situations this week. So if anybody has any pro tips to either remembering names or recollecting names, give them to me. I might need to go see the brain doctor, though. Also. My brain. My brain is fried.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. I think. Me too. I feel like my brain just drops, like packets of information sometimes and I'm. It's like a lost file.

[Mike]

Yep.

[Angela Yee]

Where I'm like, doing something and like, that file is just missing and it's not connecting or a little corrupted.

[Mike]

Where you get, like a version of it. You're like, that doesn't feel accurate.

[Angela Yee]

That's not loading.

[Mike]

Maybe we all do. But I think you and I particular, we've talked about this a lot where you and I are managing multiple different things. And I think that fries our brain.

[Angela Yee]

It definitely does.

[Mike]

You know, like, because it's overstimulated.

[Angela Yee]

I think even this week on the show, things have come up and I've, like, hopped to something and, like, my brain just wasn't there. And if you're listening, like, the listeners will call us out and it's not a normal conversation because it's not a normal situation. Like, in that studio. It's not the same as me talking to somebody out in public. There's like this different level that your brain is on where a simple piece of information that you could recall at any time doesn't work in there. Yeah.

[Mike]

And you know how you can see this so plain and clearly? Easy trivia.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like, genuinely, just in general, when we are. When we are doing things in that room, we're operating at a different. It's like how Bobby talks about aliens on a different frequency. Right. When we're in that studio. Different frequency than a normal day to day Morgan frequency or mic frequency.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. It's like you're doing like three magic tricks at once. You're like spinning plates, riding on a unicycle, and also trying to kick a soccer ball.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Angela Yee]

Doing all those things at the same time. And you're like, why can't you kick that soccer ball? Well, I'm also spinning these plates and doing and writing down this unicycle. That's why I can't kick the soccer ball.

[Mike]

That's exactly why. And then people are like, why did you do it this way? Or why did you say that? I'm like, honestly, I don't know. I wish I could tell you there's.

[Angela Yee]

Somebody that, like, I honestly don't know. Even like, when I do my podcast, I'm going back and, like, editing it. I'm like, why did I even say that word? That. That's not something I would ever say. That word makes no sense. Oh, yeah, I know. I didn't mean to say that word. And I sound so confident saying it there. I don't know why.

[Mike]

You know another one that's always funny part, like in this too, is that Bobby will say, hey, like, come up with this. It'll be. It'll be something on the fly. And I'm like, okay, yeah, this works. But then, like, three hours later, I was like, dang, I had a really good story that really would have gone there, and now we've already done it, so I can't go back to that. Like, it just. It just has to be not a story that ever gets share. Those are the worst. Where I'm like, I wish I could. My brain was. Because it's so, like, circuit fried. It just can't recollect things in that moment. There's some days where I come in and it is on, but there's other days I come in and it is mush.

[Angela Yee]

And then you think about it driving home, you're like, ah, that's what it was.

[Mike]

See? Yeah. Those are the words that. That calling back to all the previous files that are corrupted, Destroyed everything. Also, I need your opinion. You like Christmas, right? You like the holidays?

[Angela Yee]

I don't know that I.

[Mike]

Well, okay, hold on. Let me rephrase this.

[Angela Yee]

There are people who love. Like, you love Christmas. My wife loves Christmas.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't really even like it until I was with my wife. And how much she loves it has rubbed off on me.

[Mike]

That's. That's where I was going with it, because I want to say we talked about this last year, your experiences with Christmas and why. But also your wife has, like, you know, brought you to the light side.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I don't say dark side because Christmas is very light, lots of lights. But I ask you this as someone who has both perspectives. I bought an inflatable Highland cow that sits in my yard and has a Christmas hat. But I got told by a lot of people that I was tacky. Is it tacky?

[Angela Yee]

People think that those are. The inflatable things are tacky. I think they're fun and awesome.

[Mike]

Right. I feel like it adds a different level of joy to the front yard.

[Angela Yee]

It's just fun. It's like an ornament for your yard. Why wouldn't you. What makes it tacky?

[Mike]

I don't know, but you would be surprised, Mike. I got told multiple times I was so Excited about this cow. Not only did I, like, see it one time and be like, I kind of want that, and then go back and get it, I literally was in so much joy that you would have thought, as you watch me walk through Walmart with this, that I was, like, a little kid that just got told I could buy my favorite toy.

[Angela Yee]

Isn't that a good feeling?

[Morgan]

It is.

[Angela Yee]

Like, now as an adult, you go in and you're like, can I get this? You're like, wait, I'm an adult. I can get this. There's nobody telling me I can't.

[Mike]

Yeah. I don't have to get anybody's approval. Nobody's checking my money. Have you had that moment recently with something where you, like, bought it and you're kicking, screaming, giggling?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Something I haven't really shared that I've gotten into recently is figure collecting. And I think there's, like, a community of adults that are reverting back to a time where they couldn't buy things when they were younger. So now, as an adult, you can. So, like, one time I went to Target and I found, like, this Ironman figure that if I was a kid, I could have never afforded. It was, like, 24 bucks. And I had, like, this moment of, like, I don't know if I can afford. And I was like, wait a minute, I'm an adult. I can buy this. And I was like. It was like, this little joy that made me happy of being able to do something that I wanted to do as a kid. Now I'm able to do it. And it just felt like, oh, that was cool. Like, that was fun.

[Mike]

Yeah. So you did get you at the little joy of it. How many do you have now, at this point, you think?

[Angela Yee]

I put them all in, like, the back display in my studio. So, like, whenever I record my podcast, you can see them behind me. There's probably, like, six behind there now at this point.

[Mike]

And you're super specific about which ones you're getting. Like, there's particular ones you want.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, there's a lot of them are based on either my favorite superheroes of all time or my favorite comic books. So I'm trying to find things that are all just have been my favorite for a very long time and are meaningful to me in some way.

[Mike]

Have you been to McKay's?

[Angela Yee]

Oh, I love McKay's.

[Mike]

Okay. I was. I don't. Do they have that, like, what you're looking for there?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I found some great stuff there.

[Mike]

Okay. That's where I recently went with my new Obsession of records and vinyls, which I don't understand. Why are they interchangeable? Do you know? Are they the same?

[Angela Yee]

Records, Vinyls, Yeah, records, vinyl. I think it's already plural and singular at the same time.

[Mike]

Well, because I say that because it's, like, called a record player. But then you're getting vinyls. But aren't they. I went down a whole rabbit hole anyways. I was there and I was looking for old vinyls and stuff, and that place was packed. But I remember seeing what you're talking about.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, it's crazy going there and seeing how alive physical media still is, which is something I love. Like, if I had the space for it, I would still buy VHS tapes and DVDs and Blu Rays because I just love the idea of actually owning something. And if you look, you know, online, seeing, like, oh, sales are down, but there's still a community because you'd be surprised. Like, I'll go to McKay's when it opens at 9am and there's a line of people waiting to get in there to sell things and buy things, and the lines are full. It just kind of makes you happy. Like, oh, this is actually still existing.

[Mike]

Yeah. I want to say we've reverted in a little bit where I think people are getting tired of everything being digital.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. I think especially when it comes to music and seeing people buy records because you can actually, like, hold it. The art is on, like, big display. Because now, like, I feel like album art has kind of gone away because it's just on our phone in, like, a small little square. But when you buy a record, you can, like, look at the art. You can pull out, read the lyrics. You can actually put it on something and listen to it. And your intent is different. Different. So I used to be bigger into record collecting, but I also kind of ran out of space and my record player doesn't work anymore. So I think once I get a new record player, I'd probably get back into it. I did buy the Post Malone album on. On vinyl, just because that was, like, a significant one for me to have. But I've gotten out of, like, going through bins and searching for things at this point. Unless there's, like, a big album that comes out that I want to own. Like, I do still want to get the title of the creator's new album on record just because. Because I have his album right now behind on my wall, like, displayed. So I'd like to update that. But, yeah, it's great to get into. I think I just got To a point where I was only buying records for the sake of collecting them and not listening to them.

[Mike]

Yeah. And that. But it is a thing to still be a collection. It's still a cool hobby to collect things. But I do get what you're saying, because otherwise it's sitting there collecting dust, and you're kind of like, why do I have it?

[Angela Yee]

I also think of it in a way of. That is, like, the only time I really support some of my favorite artists. Because I think about when I just stream their music. They're not making much off of that unless I go see them in concert. Like, there are some artists that I've never seen them live. I've never bought a T shirt. I've never paid for their music. So I feel like buying their record is kind of giving something back to them.

[Mike]

It's a cool perspective. I guess I've never really looked at it that way, but, yeah, you're right. I mean, because streaming music has changed it, and obviously you're supporting them. They. They make royalties off of that and stuff. But to your. In the grand scheme of things, in the way that we used to support artists. Yeah, it's not. So that's a cool way to look at it too. I mean, the one of the ones I bought was Bing Crosby, and I don't think I can support him anymore, but, you know, it's keeping his memory alive. His record is really cool. It looks like a candy cane. That Christmas one that I got, I.

[Angela Yee]

Love the colored vinyl.

[Mike]

Yeah, those are cool. Most of them are black. And then I did get a little mini one, but I'm not really sure how that one works.

[Angela Yee]

So is it the, like, the 7 inch?

[Mike]

Yeah. And I think I gotta move. I got. Listen, the record, of course, everything I do is the extended version, essentially. But the record player I got. I saw in the reviews is like, you're gonna have to put together a little bit, but it's good for you to understand how this works. It's like, cool, okay, give me the task. I can do it. It comes in, Mike, and I was, like, freaking out. I was sitting there and I was like, I'm not gonna figure this out. And then it didn't work. And it kept. The needle kept, like, moving off. I was like, I'm gonna ruin all these records. And I was stress, stressing out. And I was like. I got so excited. Like, I had this huge high of, like, it working, and then just, like, straight down. Because I was like, I don't know what's going On. But now that I. I have the little one, I figured it out. I. It was a day of figuring it out, but I did. And now that I have a little one, though, I'm like, I don't want to mess with this. I might just look at that one.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, there's the. The 12 inch are like, the big ones, and then they make a smaller one that's like a seven inch, which is usually like two to three songs on it. Usually just two. And you have to play it at a different speed. So the big records, I believe, are 33 and a half RPM, and then the smaller ones, you have to switch it and run it at 45 RPM.

[Mike]

Do you know why they would make some bigger and some smaller?

[Angela Yee]

Because a record can only hold a certain amount of information on it. So if they're only putting, like, one or two songs, they can put it on a smaller record. It's cheaper to make. And then since it's smaller, you have to play it at a higher speed to still have the same revolution. So it still sounds the same. Same. So it's really just comes down to, like, they would only put those out as, like, singles. So, like, hey, there's one song we want to put out and a B side on it. So here's the single. A lot of those they would send to record. I mean, to radio stations back in the day that were just playing one song, they would just put on the smaller record, play that, but still people put them out. It's like little special things.

[Mike]

Yeah, like nostalgia, almost. Dang, that's cool. You just taught me a lot that. I didn't know about any of that.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I mean, I used to be way into it, I think, like, growing up listening to punk rock. Like, those are huge. Like, the seven inch. Like, the singles were huge. Those are more of, like, a collector's item because they were cheaper to make. So people would make, like, different covers, different variants of the color of record you could get. So I was big, and I still have a lot of those.

[Mike]

Dang. Okay, well, I. We can. We could keep talking about this forever because I'm now. I'm so obsessed, but we're going to jump out and go do some other stuff, like, you know, because Mike and I have 80 million things that we're balancing. So we're going to jump out of here, tell the people where they can find you. You hear you. All that good stuff.

[Angela Yee]

You can listen to my podcast, movie Mike's Movie Podcast, Spoiler free movie reviews. And also, if you don't like movies. I find that just talking about movies is talking about life. The way I approach my reviews is I always like to give away a little piece of myself in every review because if you're talking about a story with characters going through things, you're going to end up talking about how they affect you and what you relate to. So I always try to find like what how do I relate to this movie and how can somebody listening to it also relate to it in that way way, even if you don't see the movie, it's just talking about life. So on that aspect too, check out the podcast.

[Mike]

Yeah, life lessons and movies.

[Angela Yee]

Exactly.

[Mike]

I like it. And you can check out my podcast, take those personally. Also, both of them are good. Both of them are short, so you can fit them all in in two hours if you wanted to. My high school teacher, Mrs. Manning came on. She was my angel in the situation. When I went through bullying, she was my safe space, the classroom that she was at. And she, she also, after my situation, went back to school to become the high school counselor instead of a math teacher because she didn't like what she was seeing and what she was experiencing. And all of that's super cool. So getting to chat with her and catch up on podcast forum is all up on the latest episode. And please go follow the show at Bobby Bone Show.
