A
The best bits of the week with Morgan, Part one.
- [00:04]
B
Behind the scenes with a member of the show. What's up, everybody? Happy weekend. It is craziness. Just about wherever you live in the United States right now, we have fires, we have snowstorms, we have, gosh, everything. So, Mike, welcome to the weekend.
- [00:23]
A
There's a lot going on. I feel like our snow is probably the least of, like, the major problems in the world, but it does affect us.
- [00:30]
B
Oh, gosh. Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. I'm like, give me the snow. Like, my heart is breaking for everyone out in Los Angeles and that whole area right now and all the animals and just everything that's happening over there. I, like, I can't stop watching videos and crying. Like, I literally had to put my phone down the other day because I was crying so much.
- [00:50]
A
That seems to be the consensus of people of, like, you can only take so much of it. But then I also think of it as, like, I could just not look at it for a little bit, but people are going through that. Yeah, that's their life. Like, for us, we can be like, oh, we should probably stop consuming that, because it's affecting us mentally. But people are dealing with that. So there's kind of that balance of how much do I inform myself, how much do I allow this to take a toll on me as well? But, yeah, it's just. It's just a crazy time right now.
- [01:17]
B
Yeah, I'm, like, sitting and waiting to figure out, okay, where am I going to donate what's going to impact the most? Because it's always the. You want to help right away, but you don't want to help the wrong situation or the wrong organization. So I'm like, sitting and waiting. I'm like, okay, I want to help, but how? And what am I going to do yet?
- [01:35]
A
Yeah, that's always a weird thing because there's those scammers, man. They just. You want to do something good, and there's like, okay, here's this link. It's not a legit link. That just sucks. So you have to think about that.
- [01:47]
B
Exactly. So that's why I'm just like, okay, I'm just going to sit and wait and, like, see what actually comes out legit. You know, I think there's been a few of, like, the Pasadena Humane Society was one, and then, like, the Los Angeles Fire Department. Those are, like, the two that I've seen where I'm like, okay, those feel very legit. But everything else, I'm a little sketched out on. So time will tell. But we do have lots to catch up on too, because we just got back from holiday break. Are you hearing all of my sounds? I gotta make sure all of my things are closed out.
- [02:16]
A
I don't hear your sounds.
- [02:18]
B
Okay, good. I'm just making sure. I'm like, okay, everything stop, close down. I need an update. We are in 2025. The people need an update. Mike D. Did you ever go and do a run club?
- [02:30]
A
I never did, no.
- [02:34]
B
We got to a new year and it didn't happen.
- [02:36]
A
Doing one over break and then I just never went to one. It's still my goal for this year and at this point, if it doesn't happen in the next few months, I don't know that I'm ever going to do it.
- [02:48]
B
Okay, how do we, how confident do we feel that you are going to do it in the next few months?
- [02:54]
A
I feel pretty confident about it now. Is this something that I think in the year that I'm going into, I want to invest a little bit more in myself and that's investing in myself in every aspect of my life. And I think one of those is friendships. And I've been talking about it for so long, it gets to a point of like, do you even want this anymore? Is this something you're just saying or is this something you're just thinking like, ah, I'm going to do this eventually. If I don't do it, then I have to stop saying that I want friends because I'm not putting any effort into it.
- [03:23]
B
There is there. There's definitely a situation there, but I think you want it. It's just, it's uncomfortable and that's hard. It's a hard move to all of a sudden make yourself in this situation that makes you super vulnerable. So, you know, I don't know that it's. That you don't want friends, but it's just hard to do that. So I'm. I wanted a better update, but I'm. I'm glad you're being honest with us.
- [03:48]
A
Yeah, I mean, that's. Anything in life, if you want it, you have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations. I. Do you think I come from a place sometimes that I get a little bit comfortable where I am being in my little bubble. That going out of that bubble to me sounds like the worst thing possible. Like, oh, I could just not do that and not feel uncomfortable. But then you're not going to grow.
- [04:07]
B
Yeah, yeah. And you got to grow. Especially in 2025. We are growing in 2025, Mike.
- [04:13]
A
And for me, odd number years are always my favorite. So as soon as the calendar flipped, I'm like, all right, odd number year. I'm good.
- [04:19]
B
So we hated 2024, but we like 2025.
- [04:22]
A
Any odd number year, the better things happen to me. Odd number year. I graduated high school in an odd number year. There are different moments of my life that happened in odd number years, so I always root for myself in an odd number year.
- [04:36]
B
Did you meet your wife in an odd number year?
- [04:39]
A
No, but we got married in an odd number year.
- [04:41]
B
Okay. I was going to. That was my follow up question. So there was still something there in that. But see, not all bad things happen.
- [04:48]
A
We met, we did meet in an even number year. Got engaged in an even number year, but married in an odd number year.
- [04:54]
B
You're really trying to make that good luck continue for the marriage with any number.
- [04:59]
A
Like, even if I go for a run, I always have to end on an odd number. Even if I do 8 miles, I'll do 8.1. So it's an odd number. There's just something weird that I associate good luck with odd numbers. I'm really big to big into 11. 11. So anything odd number, I'm all about.
- [05:15]
B
You know what's funny, Mike, is that you say that like you're. You're definitely more into it than I am. But I've always been an even number person. Even numbers for all of my, like, sports, my jerseys. I've always had, like, wanted to have even numbers of kids. I always like, just even, like what you're talking about with running. Like, I always do the even numbers. Isn't that weird how we are polar opposites in that?
- [05:40]
A
Yeah. There's just some comfort, I think, in whatever number you prefer that you like seeing that. That that's what it is for me. Even my, like, favorite, like, sports players have even odd number jerseys. So there's just some comfort in me. I think for me it's like a rule of three. I like to do things, do things in threes. That always feels comforting to me. So I think I've applied that to every aspect of my life. And anytime there's an even number, I just associate it with good luck.
- [06:07]
B
Every time there's an odd number, you associate it with good luck. Right. So I got you on the even number team there for a second.
- [06:13]
A
Even number. Yeah. Odd numbers.
- [06:16]
B
That's so funny. I like. And honestly, until you even said that, I hadn't even really thought or processed that. That's. That's Crazy. I wonder if there's some, like, backstory to that of why some people go odd and some people go even.
- [06:31]
A
I don't know what it could be. I feel maybe it could be, like, a personality thing.
- [06:35]
B
Yeah, I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna have to do a deep dive into this that might be a Take this Personally podcast episode and find out like, there's some deep meaning to it. Oh, man. What about Word for the Year? Did you choose a word for this year?
- [06:47]
A
Yeah. Invest.
- [06:49]
B
Invest. Tell me more.
- [06:50]
A
I think I'm trying to invest a little bit more in myself in 2025. I think I've kind of realized that I want to do more things for me. I've always put my job ahead of myself and all aspects of that, like, which I love. I love doing that. But I got to the end of last year and I looked back on all my things that I've done, all my accomplishments in my career so far, and I just wanted to do more things for me, whether it's my podcast, whether it's me and my own creative endeavors. I just kind of want to invest a little bit more on myself because I kind of realized that, like, I'm the only one who cares about me as much, like, as anybody. And I think if I don't invest in myself, then it's not going to make other people want to invest in me. And I think I've done a good job of, like, investing in my health and both mental and physical, that I kind of just want to invest more in all the things that bring me joy. So whether it is professionally, whether it's personal, I just need to put a little bit more emphasis on doing things that make me happy.
- [07:55]
B
Oh, this is. This is a really good one. I like this. I think you could also make it a double meaning, like Amy and you invest, like, literally.
- [08:03]
A
Yeah, I think that's part of it, too. Yeah. I was always about the double meaning. I think even investing in things that just that I believe in and maybe could make me money down the line, too.
- [08:15]
B
Yeah. Like you. You can invest in so many different ways, but I really like that word. That was a good choice because you.
- [08:22]
A
See people who like the people I look at that I want to be like, they have taken some risks. They've either invested money in something, which I believe is something you have to do to achieve your dreams. I think that's something some people are afraid to do because you think, I'm going to invest this money in myself, but I might not make anything back. I think it's worth it. In the end, even if you don't get what you were trying to achieve, you'll never look back and think, man, it's not the things that you try, it's the things that you don't try that you end up regretting. So maybe you do lose some money on it, but at least you tried.
- [08:55]
B
Yeah, yeah, that's so true. And it is, it's the riskiest thing, right? Because there's, there's two things that we value so much. It's time and it's money. Like, those are, those are the two things that everybody is invested in. And time you can never get back. And money is one of those things that we are so we're either like so careless about or we're so frugal with. There's really no in between. And it's hard. It's hard when you, you do believe in yourself, but you also believe that the world is hard and, and things are difficult and they're not going to work out how you want them to.
- [09:31]
A
And as I think I took the last year kind of second guessing myself in my dreams. And one of my dreams has always been to create some piece of art, whether it be a book, whether I write a script, whether I write a comic book. And I spent a lot of 20, 24 contemplating if I was even cut out for that. And I think it's because I'm in. I'm 33. I'm at a point where if somebody, there's like people my age who are already crushing it in this, and I think I let that affect me a little bit of like, oh man, there are people already well established and I'm here still in the beginning stages of it. And I think I just needed a little inspiration of finding out more about people who had success later in life, in their 40s, in their 50s. I was really inspired by the creator of Squid Game, who had been pitching that show for 10 years, is in a much later part of their life and is now one of the biggest shows on the planet. So I think it was realizing that, that there's really no timeline that you have to follow. And it's not too late to be a newbie at something that I thought, you know what? It is something I've always wanted to do. It doesn't matter how old I am, it doesn't matter how much I'm going to suck at in the beginning. It just matters that you start, you invest in yourself. Because if you do it now in a year, you'll be like, wow, I'm at a totally different place that I never thought I could be.
- [10:50]
B
Yeah. And that if there's one thing I have realized is age doesn't matter anymore. You can do anything whenever you want to do it genuinely. And it's scary, Right. If you don't do it on the timeline that everybody else has done it on, or you're walking a different path. Absolutely. That's terrifying. But you can and should do anything you want to do, no matter how old you are at any point in time. Like, I. I'm so glad you're doing this for you. And regardless of what comes for it, you did it for you. And the hope is right. That it's insanely successful, and if I know you, you're gonna find a way to make it that way. But even if it's not, you did do it for you, and it's something that you're gonna be proud of no matter what.
- [11:32]
A
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's what I kind of forgot about myself. Of, like. I looked back on me in my 20s, and I was so. I don't want to say reckless, but I had no worry about something not working out that I'm almost jealous of. Me in my 20s, who didn't think about failing, didn't think about, like, oh, what's gonna happen if this blows up in my face? Me in my early 20s was, this is the only option. This is the only way out. This is what I'm gonna do. And I just kind of want to have a little bit more of my younger self in me, who was so confident and just did things without thinking about them and was always thinking, like, three steps ahead. I think as you get a little bit older, you get a little bit more worried about that risk. And I'm like, I just gotta. It's not even that I have to dig it out of something that's never existed in me. It's like, I just got to be like I was, like, 10 years ago.
- [12:23]
B
Yeah. I mean, if you think of it, you look at anybody as a kid, right? And as kids, we were so fearless. We asked so many questions, and we broke bones in our body, and we would throw ourselves off of things with no care in the world. But, you know, you get used to what's happening in life, and you're seeing things around you and you're learning lessons and. And knowledge is powerful, but it is also the more you learn, the more cautious you become, the more afraid we become. So you do kind of have to Tap into the inner mic version, like, the little kid in you who was absolutely fearless and did not have a care in the world to truly, like, probably accomplish something like this, which I think you also can. I mean, I'm looking at you right now, which, by the way, we're on. We're on Zoom because of this crazy snow. And I see your whole backdrop behind you. Like, the kid is alive in you, Mike. Like, there's no doubt about that, and I love it, and, like, that's who you have to embrace.
- [13:22]
A
Yeah. And I think I have at least embraced that part of me in the last year where I felt a little bit more comfortable diving into that. And I think that's even why here in this home studio set up, I've put those things that inspired me early on that are comforting to me now, that when I walk in here, I feel a little bit inspired just by looking at what's behind me. And I think it's being in tune with those things and not being ashamed of those things or thinking somebody's gonna think I'm lame for being so into those things that's allowed me to get a little bit of that spark back and think, okay, I. I've always loved this. It's always been a part of my life. I need to keep that energy with me and keep those things a part of me, because I think that's what's going to propel me into that next level.
- [14:06]
B
Yeah, I totally agree with you. And it's so cool. Like, it's. I think it's awesome. I think you embracing, like, the truest version of yourself is the coolest thing anybody can do, and you're doing it.
- [14:17]
A
Yeah. At least I hope I am.
- [14:19]
B
You are. You are. My. My word isn't as exciting as yours is, but it's content. Or contentment, I guess you could do whichever one. But I am learning a lot about patience and understanding that I. I genuinely should be so content with where I am in my life and who I am. I think I've always spent a lot of time looking for the next thing and always ready for the next thing, that. Spending time in the present moment, in the here, the now, and really being proud of myself for everything that has got me to this moment instead of constantly looking to the future. So I'm really challenging myself this year to just be content, be proud of myself where I am, and not constantly trying to push myself forward, because there's a. There's always a time for that, and I can always be doing that. But what I'm not good at is like, having patience and like sitting in the present and being proud of what's happening.
- [15:18]
A
How do you implement that in, like, the short term versus the long term?
- [15:23]
B
I think it's day to day life. You know, I'm not, I'm not sitting here, which normally, like, what I would do is like, okay, I need to make sure I have this, this, and this. Six months from now, this has to happen. Instead, it's like, just focus on today. Like, genuinely focus on this moment right now. What's happening today that you're so proud of and trying to really exist instead of focusing on whether it's the past or the future, like just this day. And I think I've had a lot of experiences recently that have just taught me that, like, genuinely, you know, you hear it all the time, like, you're not promised tomorrow, you never know. And like, it feels so cheesy, but it's so just true. And time, when you, when you really look at, like, I think spending time with my family has shown me that, like, time moves really fast. And as you see people getting older and you see things happening, it just makes you want everything to stop and slow down and like, why, you know, why is this happening? Why is everything moving so quickly? We weren't here and now it's five years and I've lost all this time. I haven't, but that's how it kind of feels. So it's really trying to embrace the very, very present moment. Not anything forward, not anything back. And that's not to say I don't have, like, goals or visions or hopes, but just really trying to make sure I'm putting myself in the present moment instead of always kind of putting myself, like four hours ahead, five days ahead. I just trying to live in the day, letting the day be the day.
- [17:00]
A
Yeah. About spending time with family and kind of realizing that that is something that hit me over the holidays where I went home. I was only able to see my parents for like a day because they were going to Mexico. We went to Texas.
- [17:13]
B
Oh, wait, wait, hold on. I want to get into holiday break, but we're going to take a quick break and then we're going to come back. And I want to hear this.
- [17:19]
A
All right.
- [17:22]
B
Okay, you may continue. Please, please continue on the story about.
- [17:26]
A
The family thing and tomorrow not being promised and all that mentality. It really hit me over the break when I was spending time with my parents and I kind of realized now what you were saying, like, when you see people getting Older. My parents are in their 60s now, still mid early 60s. But I saw this meme going into the holidays. It just made me sad of like calculating how many times you go home, how old your parents are, and how many times you're going to see them. And it was like, you will see them maybe eight times a year, the next, whatever. And it's like weird to think about, like each trip is almost numbered now when you only do, like with being far away from my family, I see them at most twice a year when I go home. And being around them this holiday, I just tried to live in the moment a little bit more because I was like, man, like, I know they're not that old, but you think about how like old people tend to be these this time and like, you think more about like, how long they're gonna be around. It just really kind of made me think, like, I gotta enjoy this a little bit more. And one of my favorite things to go home and do is have my mom's rice. She makes like this incredible rice that everybody loves. And it hit me for the first time of thinking, like, man, she might not be around sometime to make this for me. I need to write this recipe down. Because it was just that weird thought of in my head. She's always gonna be there. She's always going to be able to make that for me. But someday that's not going to be a thing. And it'd be one thing for her to not be here anymore, but also thinking like, man, like, I'll never be able to taste that rice again. Like, I, I need to write that down.
- [19:02]
B
Yeah, you don't realize, just, gosh, especially like when I'm even talking to my parents too. Like, I, I have super active parents and stuff. But even still, I'm like, guys, I need you to take care of yourselves. I don't care what it is I need you to take. I need you around for as long as humanly possible. So please be taking care of yourselves. Like, I see myself doing that now. And you know, 10 years ago I wouldn't even have noticed or paid attention. But you feel that start to happen and you're just like, oh, gosh, I feel myself getting older, which means they're getting older. And you do start to treasure things like recipes and the cooking moments and the just like, just sitting on the couch. When I was like talking to my parents, I was like, gosh, I wish I could do this every day, you know, and living away from them makes it 20 times harder. You know, there's this big part of me that's like, okay, I just need to move home because then I'm never going to miss anything. But then it's also like, okay, well then I'm doing a disservice to me and to them by doing that. It's that, that internal adult struggle that's happening right now, I think for both.
- [20:08]
A
Of us, and I think it never stops because the other side of this is my parents went to Mexico. My grandma, my mom's mom is the only living grandparent I have left. She's 94 years old, so she's lived in Mexico her entire life. They try to go at least once a year to see her, but it's like a 17 hour bus ride that they take to get down there. And when they were, they spent like 10 days with her and they were leaving. And my 94 year old grandma made my dad cry because she was like, hey, take care of yourself so you can be around for your kids. And even at 94, she still felt that way. She's still having those same thoughts that we're having and talking about right now. Yeah, we're still telling them like, hey, take care of yourself, be healthy because you should be around for your kids.
- [20:53]
B
Yeah. And that. But that's also so cool. She's like 94, you know what I mean? Like, she's lived such an incredibly long, amazing life. But to be able to then pass that wisdom on and say, do this. But I also imagine for your parents, because of that age, like when we were towards the end of losing, I, I also only have one living grandparent left on my mom's side, my grandma. But when we lost my grandpa this past year, he had just turned 94 and we had lost my grandma a few years prior. But I just, I remember just seeing my dad experience that and just every time we leave that it could have been the last. Like it even makes me like choke up thinking of that because like, you know, you, you don't want to see your parents hurt and it hurts you because those are your grandparents, but like those are their parents. And then you have this whole like emotional roller coaster that you go on, but every time you leave it was like, okay, is this the last time that I see you? And one time it was. And like that is so like, oh, you want to talk about like hitting somebody? Like just right in the jugular. It's that.
- [22:06]
A
Yeah. And I think that's what they were going through when they went to see her this past time because she did have some pretty big health issues. Last year, where they thought she wasn't gonna make it, she came. You know, she was able to overcome it. She's in really good health now. Even though she's 94, she can still get around really well, and her mind is, like, super sharp. She's really big into watching Tick Tock, and she loves watching Tick Tock. So, like, he has a great memory. Is, like, super sharp, funny, and witty, and it's just wild to see at her age just how much with it she still is.
- [22:39]
B
Yeah. Gosh. See, and that's what we should be doing that, like, we should be able to be with it by the time we're 94.
- [22:45]
A
I still want to be on Tick Tock if it doesn't get banned when I'm 94.
- [22:48]
B
I know. We. We. We may not even have it in the next week, Mike. So here we are. Okay, besides the we, we got the. The sappy, emotional stuff. What was the fun parts of your break that you guys did?
- [23:02]
A
We went on our entire Texas tour, which was fun. Every time we go back to Texas, it just feels like home. And I also love a road trip, so it was kind of the best that we flew from Nashville to Austin and then drove all up and down Texas to see all our families. There's something just comforting to me of being in a car on a highway, making decisions like, you want to go to the gas station? I love going to Buc EE's. So we went to every single Buc EE's. Three different Buc EE's. And I was like, we got to see them all. We got to see the biggest one. We got to see and compare the toilets and the coffee. I just wait.
- [23:36]
B
Like, the biggest one ever.
- [23:38]
A
It's the biggest one in Texas now, which every time they build a new one, it's always the biggest one.
- [23:42]
B
Got it.
- [23:43]
A
I couldn't really tell much of a difference between that one and the non bigger ones.
- [23:47]
B
They're all large.
- [23:48]
A
They're all just huge and massive. And they're just something comforting to me about going to a big gas station. And I love gas station coffee for some reason. Like, as much as I love coffee, I don't necessarily love good coffee. Like, some people are so into the process of making coffee. I like cheap gas station coffee. And there's just something comforting to me about going in, getting a cup of coffee, and then just hitting the road.
- [24:11]
B
So is that all you get from a Bucky's? I was just about to ask, what's your go to BUC EE's. And then I was like, is there vegan options at a Buc EE's for Mike?
- [24:18]
A
Pretty much. I just get black coffee. They'll have, like, cups of fruit. But I even love going. Even though I don't eat it. I love smelling the brisket and the barbecue and hearing them, you know, yell out when they make the sandwiches. I love the smell of that. Even though I don't eat it. I just get coffees. They usually have some kind of, like, vegan protein bar that I'll get. So that's pretty. It's just the experience for me.
- [24:38]
B
Got it. You're going. You're going for that whole environment versus the food experience. Okay, so Bucky's trip, you hit the biggest one in Texas. What else? What else were you guys doing?
- [24:51]
A
So first week of vacation, that was just family tour. We were in Texas the whole time. And then we came back to Nashville, and that was just a week we dedicated to doing nothing, doing what we wanted to do. I think we had both had a pretty crazy last few months of the year, so we just wanted to be like, okay, we have no plan set. We don't want to go anywhere. We just want to watch movies. We went to the movie theater every single day because we have Regal Unlimited, where you can go as many times, and that's just unlimited. So any movie that came out, we went to go see it in theaters. We rewatched every single Harry Potter movie.
- [25:28]
B
Love that great Harry Potter movie marathon. Is always. Is always amazing at Christmas time.
- [25:33]
A
Yeah. I always associated with Christmas. Even though they're not Christmas movies in the first two, at least they're. They really emphasize Christmas. So they always have that feeling to me of, like, being cold, not having anything else to do. We watch all those movies, and then we both found ourselves being sad that there wasn't another one. Even though the movies have been out for so long. Like, when are they gonna make another one? So now I'm really invested in that HBO Max show coming out that hopefully it's some kind of, like, okay. At least similar to it, which I think they're gonna do each season is a book which I think will be interesting.
- [26:05]
B
It's not the same characters at all though, right? It's totally new people. I don't know.
- [26:09]
A
I've seen different things. I've seen that. Unless they just focus on different characters the entire time. But it seems like it's going to make it where each book is a season of the show.
- [26:21]
B
I love that. I love the idea I'm hopeful. I mean, Max hasn't, like, butchered anything. But it's also like. One thing I've realized what I don't like about some of the remakes is just the modern ness of it. I think the reason I love a lot of these is because they're like, in other words, vintage. They're old school. They like the. The Harry Potter movies. Like, the CGI stuff is. It's horrible. Right. But you love it because when you watched it in theaters, like, you're getting the experience when you watched it when it came out. In the modern ones, you don't have that same experience.
- [26:58]
A
Yeah. Especially in the first two. You realize how bad the CGI actually was. They look like straight up video game characters. And so. And you're like, I think the further and further away we get from it, the worse and worse it looks, because we see everything looking so new and slick and we're like, oh, man, how did we buy this back in the 2000s?
- [27:17]
B
Yeah. No, for real. But, you know, once you've seen it, it's like one of those things, like, if you saw it when it came out, it's really hard for you to watch the remake. If you never saw it and then you watch it now, you're like, oh, this is terrible. Like, that's my experience that I've had with anything that's like 90s, early 2000s. And then, you know, the same happens, like in that vice versa switch.
- [27:42]
A
Yeah. Which is what kids nowadays are probably looking at those movies and thinking, this is terrible. The same way we saw movies from the 70s and 80s and crappy. Why you love this stuff so much?
- [27:54]
B
Yeah, that's like anybody I talked to. Like Star Wars, Because I watched it so much later in life when I, like during COVID when I went on that binge of all of that stuff and I watched Star Wars, I was like, oh, of course I love the later ones, like, because I don't have any attachment to the really horrible ones at the beginning. But then you talk to anybody who watched them when they came out, or like, especially when they were younger and they're obsessed with the older ones. I'm like, why? It's so horrible. Oh, man. Okay. So fun. That's a fun break, though. I mean, it sounds relaxing. You got to see family number one moment over the break that you had.
- [28:30]
A
Number one moment was probably eating my mom's food. I think that is what I look forward to every year. Any trip I go home, I gotta have my mom's food.
- [28:40]
B
You Know, I really feel like. Does she still work at Taco Bell?
- [28:43]
A
Yep.
- [28:44]
B
I feel like she really needs to, like, implement her own Taco Bell. Like, she owns one, and then she adds some of her own recipes to the Taco Bell. Like a spin on Taco Bell.
- [28:56]
A
That is what my mom knows. It works. She experiments and makes her own thing, and she'll make them so good that, like, the other. Her. Other people who work with her, like, hey, make me one of those. She'll mix different ingredients. She loves it.
- [29:09]
B
See, but that's what she needs it, like, on the menu. She needs her own Taco Bell.
- [29:13]
A
I used to love going there because I would. I would go to high school, and then I would stop by Taco Bell, because my mom would always hook it up, and she would either make me something that wasn't on the menu or what I did order. She would just load it up with stuff. I'm like, yes, this is amazing.
- [29:29]
B
Oh, see, I'm. I'm rooting for Mike D's mom's Taco Bell. It's like Stacy's mom, but, like, Mike D's mom's Taco Bell.
- [29:38]
A
He would crush it.
- [29:39]
B
She would. Okay, I. I mean, I don't even know, honestly, where to start with mine. I went home for a week. I spent Christmas with my family, which was amazing. We played this. You've. You've played the board game Life, right?
- [29:54]
A
I don't think I ever have.
- [29:56]
B
Okay, what we need to play Life, but do you know at least the reference? Like, you know the game Life game?
- [30:03]
A
I don't really know how you play it. I've never played it.
- [30:07]
B
Okay. Basically, it's like this. You're around about on this board. You, at various points, get children, and you could end up with, like, 15 children. And you have, like, it. It's literally the game of life, but on a board game. And so there's a version of this called, like, redneck something. And so we played this redneck version of Life, and it was hilarious, Mike. We played for, like, five hours. We were dying laughing. This is my last night, like, home with my family. And they. I was like, guys, we're playing a redneck game, which means, like, all of our. Our country redneck accents have to come out. Like, this is where. This is the moment we can all shine. And I, like, I'm not kidding you. We could not stop, like, talking. And I would. I had my. You know, everybody makes fun of me when my Laney Wilson side comes out. But it was so strong. And my Sisters could not stop laughing. They're like, where did this come from? I'm like, guys, like, this is what I was born with. We just like really suppressed it. So we played that game. Highly, highly recommend. And definitely if you're going to play a live game, I think you should play that one, Mike, because it's so much better. You had like, they would tell you your name based on like rolling the dice. And I think I was like Bubba Jean or something was my name. And then they like pick your kids names that way. It was just, it was pure chaos, but so much fun. And then after that, of course I, I went to Europe and we talked about that a little bit on the post show. So there's that. You have any questions about any of it, Mike? That probably helped me narrow it down.
- [31:41]
A
Yeah. When it comes to leaving the country. Because when we talked about it on the show, we said that leaving, that going to different parts of North America really didn't count, which is all I've done. I've been to Canada, Mexico, I've been to Central America. What does that feel like, leaving the country as far as, like, I don't know, just what does that feel like? I guess I feel like I've been out of the country. I feel like I've traveled a lot. But when I thought about it, I was like, I guess I've never really left the country technically because I've stayed on this continent.
- [32:10]
B
Yeah. And I don't. I, you know, I still think it counts. I do think there's a level of it counting because you're, they're speaking different English, like different languages. Mexico, you're speaking Spanish. Canada, a lot of it's French. And then I don't know what. In Central America. Is it also Spanish?
- [32:24]
A
It's Spanish. It's like a different flavor of Spanish. There's some differences. But yeah, Spanish, okay.
- [32:30]
B
See, I do think it still counts, but it is different when you're literally like when you're watching yourself fly across an ocean. I was like, oh, this feels weird. And my sister like sent me the location and she was like, in Kansas and I'm in Brussels. She's like, you're on a literal different continent.
- [32:46]
A
Because I've done that going to Hawaii, but that's still part of the United States. Even though that felt like an entirely different country.
- [32:53]
B
Like, no, because you were flying over the ocean.
- [32:56]
A
Yeah. When you're just over the ocean for a long time and then being there, nothing in Hawaii felt like anything in America. So I know it Technically estate, but to me, that felt like leaving the country.
- [33:08]
B
Yeah, no, Hawaii really should be a country all on its own, because, like, between Alaska and Hawaii, I'm not sure how they're connected to the United States because they look vastly different.
- [33:20]
A
Genuinely never been to Alaska either, though.
- [33:23]
B
You. You would like Alaska. Although it's freezing, like, very cold. If you don't like the cold, don't go. It's amazing, but very cold. But, yeah, it was a weird. It was definitely weird. It was also, like, you should have seen me. Me and my little poor economy class that I was sitting in. I was, like, just crunched up in this little seat for, like, nine hours. But I was so fascinated with all of the. Like, you could plug in and charge your phone, and you can watch. They had, like. Mike, you would have loved the movie selection. I mean, they had thousands of movies for you to choose from to watch. On this flight, I ate lunch and dinner on a full dinner and breakfast is what it was. On this flight, I was like, dang, that was actually pretty good. Like, I wasn't expecting much, but that was good. And I'm sitting there. I'm like, I just had this meal. Like, you should have seen me. You would have thought I had never been on an airplane in my life. That was that experience that I had, just traveling internationally because I've just, like, I have been to Hawaii, but again, it just. It was not the same experience as this. And, like, flying over, like, I. I took melatonin to try and pass out. It didn't work. So I'm, like, groggy, and I'm using this, like, teeny, tiny blanket that they give you, and I literally hit the map. I'm like, oh, crap, we're in the middle of the ocean. I should have not looked at that. So, yeah, the flight there was eight and a half hours. I flew into Chicago and Chicago to Brussels, and then the flight from. I. I went Barcelona to Newark, New York, and that was nine hours. So both of them were long.
- [35:00]
A
Okay, that's. That's closer than I'm. I want. I really want to go to Japan. And that's, like, 17, 18.
- [35:08]
B
Oh, my gosh.
- [35:09]
A
Part about wanting to do that trip. And if you're saying eight hours feels like a lot. I remember Hawaii felt like a lot. And that was like, eight hours.
- [35:16]
B
Yes.
- [35:17]
A
Double that.
- [35:18]
B
Okay, hold on. I want to talk about this more. We're gonna take a quick break. I, like, realize it's like, I never took a break. Hold on. Yeah, no. So, Mike, I would Literally fall asleep for, like, two hours. I'm like, surely, we are close. Like, surely. I'd look. It'd be like, six hours left. I'm like, there's no way. There's no way I'm gonna survive this flight.
- [35:39]
A
Running on the treadmill, you're like, oh, clearly I should be close to done. Oh, I've been on here five minutes. Okay.
- [35:44]
B
Yes, that's what it feels like. I think. I do think it's worth it, but it's just, like, you really have to prepare yourself for if you go overnight. Like, if you fly overnight on a red eye. I do think it helps with all the jet lag and stuff, but. And had we honestly not stayed up every night until, like, 4:00am I think I would have been just dead to the world when I got back. But I think I confused my body so much, it couldn't figure out what the heck time zone I was on. So that helps me out. But I do think that jet lag is horrible.
- [36:18]
A
How much of everything on your itinerary did you actually get to versus how much did you not be able to do?
- [36:25]
B
Oh, I would probably say half and half. But again, I also had, like, a long list of things that was not good.
- [36:33]
A
That's a lot of stuff.
- [36:35]
B
I. I get really, really adventurous when I start putting something together, and I all list everything, knowing I can't make it. But it's always like, a. In case I am around this area.
- [36:49]
A
You're not one of those people, like, okay, this is everything on the list. We got to do this. We got to be here. We got to be here.
- [36:54]
B
No, no, I didn't. I didn't do that. It was more like, okay, let's try. Or if, like, we're sitting there and we're like, what do we do? I'm like, okay, well, let me go to my list, and I'll pull some things out. But there was a day, like, in Barcelona, I was like, we have to at least go and see some of these sites. Like, I know we're having fun and we're living, like, the local life, but we have to at least see some of these touristy spots. And that's when I pulled it out, and we hit, like, four spots in two hours. But, yeah, no, I. I want to say, like, 50. We probably got mo. We probably got a lot of it, and we saw a lot of it. But, like, I didn't go in the Louvre. I'm not a huge, like, art person.
- [37:29]
A
Museums. That is my damn.
- [37:31]
B
So you would have. You Would have loved it. But the thing is, is, like, if you go in the Louvre, people say you can spend an entire day in there. And I had two days in Paris, and I was like, I can't be spending it in an art museum trying to see the freaking Mona Lisa.
- [37:44]
A
That sounds like what I would enjoy about that trip. I would like to go to a museum, spend the entire day there. And I know it's a lot of things that you could see by Googling it online, but for me, seeing something like that in person and just knowing that, I can always say, like, I saw the Mona Lisa in person. I saw these in person. That sounds like a dream to me.
- [38:04]
B
Yeah. And you're right. Like, it. Honestly, I haven't heard of anybody say they were, like, disappointed to go in and see it. I think it was more like, okay, if I come back, that's something else I can do. For now, this is what I'm gonna, like, focus on, because also, the. The one thing we didn't do that I so, so wish we did, you had to make a reservation, and we just didn't know. We were not experienced in enough in that area in Barcelona. But there was this place called the Basilica. It's this. This beautifully massive cathedral straight out of a fricking comic book, Mike. Like, doesn't even look real medieval. They've been building it for years, hundreds of years. It's still not finished. And I guess it's just insanely beautiful inside. And we weren't able to go in because we didn't have reservations. And that is one thing I do wish we, like, would have been able to go in and see, because I think it is absolutely worth it.
- [38:57]
A
So best landmark you saw versus the most underwhelming landmark you saw.
- [39:03]
B
I think it was iconic to see the Eiffel Tower. I think I wanted to hate it, like, because, you know, like, everybody talks about it, and I. I wanted to be like, oh, it's not that cool. But as soon as I walked up to it and it. At. Especially at night when it started sparkling, I was like, oh, my gosh, I'm gonna cry.
- [39:21]
A
Is it as massive in person as it looks like, or is it actually kind of small?
- [39:25]
B
No, it's huge. It's huge. Like, you. To walk around. It would take you miles.
- [39:32]
A
Really?
- [39:33]
B
Yes. And, like, even walking up to it, like, you're literally, like, looking straight up, and it just feels like it goes. The crazy part, Mike, is too. It would be covered by clouds. That's how tall this thing is.
- [39:42]
A
Oh, wow.
- [39:44]
B
Yeah. We'd look off into the distance and you'd only see, like, the. The middle half because the top half was in the clouds. Crazy. So definitely the Eiffel Tower. It's as iconic as everybody says it is. And then the most underwhelming. One of the things we went and saw in Barcelona, we saw, like, so Gaul is like, their architecture guy who is just well known, and he's. He's part of, like, the basilica stuff, and that is obviously really cool. But there was. We went to this place called Casa Botlo, and I'm totally butchering that, I'm sure. But there was two different ones. There's Casa Mila and Casa Bartlo. And Casa Mila was totally worth it. Loved it. Amazing. We paid for the tour. We walked inside. They give you, like, headphones and you would like that. Like, you walk around and you get, like, the guided tour just by yourself. And we also did it in Bala, thinking it was going to be really cool. But that one was definitely underwhelming compared to, like, all the other things that we had seen. So if I go back, I would just go to see the outside, because the outside is beautiful, and then, like, skip the tour. So probably those two. And Brussels. Brussels was so much more beautiful than I would have given it credit for. Like, I genuinely went because I'm like, I love chocolate. It's really what I want. And I, like, want to test my French. That was, like, that whole, like, kind of backstory on Brussels, but I did not anticipate how beautiful. There's this area called the grand palace, and it's where all the shops and you can walk around in. It is easily probably one of the cooler, just, like, central locations of all of those cities that we went to. It looks. It didn't even look real. Like, you. If you looked at the buildings, you wouldn't think you could go in them. Like, they would just be like a storyboard. You know what I mean? But you can actually go in them, and there's, like, restaurants and bars and things inside of all of them, but.
- [41:38]
A
They don't look that way after coming back. Do you feel that you're a little bit underwhelmed by American food now?
- [41:45]
B
Oh, my God, yeah. So underwhelmed. So, like, I'm eating. I'm eating, like, the chocolate and cheese. I'm like, this is such a bummer. I really ruined this for myself because.
- [41:55]
A
I think of, like, when people come to the US like, what is the food you have to try here?
- [41:59]
B
That's comparable well, and maybe because I don't eat barbecue, and you don't either. That might be why. Because barbecue, I do feel like, is the thing that they come here for in general. I mean, you have a lot of different areas in the states that have, like, specialty barbecue. And maybe that's because, like. Because they don't really have that over there. Anywhere that, like, I looked on the menu, barbecue wasn't a thing. Neither was, like, hot chicken. You know, Nashville, like, so many of them knew Nashville for hot chicken, which was a crazy, like, thing. They're like, oh, yeah, you guys have hot chicken. And I'm like, we do so. And so. Maybe that's why. But in general, the food just felt so, so fresh. Like, so much fresher. Like, I wasn't eating, you know, horrible ingredients all the time. It was, like, genuinely fresh food. Even the bakery items felt like I was having, like, actual fresh, like, normal flour, not, like, processed.
- [42:59]
A
Yeah, that's what I hear about people going to other countries and eating their food. Like, some people who can't have gluten in the United States can go to other places like Italy and have their pasta and have no problems whatsoever because it's fresh and, like.
- [43:13]
B
And I, like, I did have a little bit of that experience. Like, I still had a little bit, but it's probably because I was genuinely inducing so many carbs into my body that I wasn't a great test subject. But I do feel like had I eaten that many carbs here, I would have been destroyed. So I wasn't horrible. I was. But I'm still having a little bit of my reactions. Now, granted, I do think Italy specifically is the one that they talk about. Like, Italy's super, super fresh. Paris, I think, become a little bit more commercialized, at least where we were going. If you're, like, maybe the more local areas, that's not as much the case. But for sure, just in general, it felt fresh. Even like the scrambled eggs I had in Paris, I was like, how did you make them like that? I don't even know what that is.
- [44:00]
A
Would you ever, if you went to another country, break your vegetarianism? Because it was a local cuisine that you could only have there, and it's supposed to be amazing.
- [44:10]
B
No. You know, Mike, the Barcelona guys tried.
- [44:13]
A
Really?
- [44:14]
B
Yeah. There was some, like, I don't know, octopus dish. And I was like, have you guys not seen my octopus teacher? Because, like, I can't eat that. Like, I get it that that's your thing, but I can't. Like, seafood's really Big there because they're on the. They are on the coast. And so they. They tried a bunch. And Julia was like, oh, gosh, this is all so amazing. I'm like, I bet it is. I bet this is really tasty. But I did do one of their things, so, you know, green onions, like French green onions, they grill them, I think is what it is. And basically you have to, like, peel them out of the thing and eat it with this. Like, what I would say is like our blooming onion sauce basically is kind of what it tasted like. And you dip them in there and you eat the whole green onion.
- [45:02]
A
That sounds pretty good.
- [45:04]
B
That's like that thing. That's one of their, like, delicacies in Barcelona. And it has a name. I don't remember what it was, but I was like, this is so interesting. This is a French green onion, and you guys are just eating it by itself. So that was. That was an interesting one. That was vegetarian. But no, I don't. I wouldn't ever break it. I. Because mine's just too, like, one, I know I'm going to get sick if I eat it, like, regardless of where I am. And two, I just. I don't think I even have the desire. Even if it's like, this is the specialty thing. Like, if they come here and it's like barbecue, I'll be like, okay, well, guys, I'm not eating barbecue.
- [45:40]
A
For me, like, my dream is to go to Japan. I've been really looking into it. I don't know if this year is a possibility, but if I go there, I'm. I'm breaking veganism to have sushi. Like, real sushi.
- [45:50]
B
Yeah.
- [45:51]
A
But it's a. It's a long trip to get there. And I would regret it so much if I went all that way and didn't try the thing that they were known for and the thing they recommend. So I would immediately eat seafood. Different country, different continent. Like, it's fine.
- [46:07]
B
This is true. And you always have your one like thing that you were doing. I don't think you do it anymore. But your one day a year.
- [46:14]
A
Yeah, I don't do that anymore. So I also. I'm not vegan for moral reasons. It's more for health reasons. So I don't know how my body would react because even though I do have that. What I did have that one day where I would eat whatever, I still never had meat. And on that day. So it's probably been going on eight years now since I've had any meat. I don't know how my body would react to it. I think I would do probably fine with sushi, but if there was any meat, like, I would just go for it at that point.
- [46:43]
B
Yeah, it is.
- [46:44]
A
You're.
- [46:44]
B
It's funny how your body, like, blocks things out, because anytime, like, even by accident, it'd be like, chicken would be in some dip or something, and I didn't know it, and I. I would taste it immediately, and I'd, like, spit it out. But, like, there's even the, like, cream of chicken stuff that was put in things. And I wouldn't know because most of the time it's like a stalk. And I would get so ill, like, almost immediately, I'm like, okay, who put the cream of chicken in here? Because, like, my body literally went straight out. So I do think there is, like, your body does recognize when you haven't had something for so long. I think you can ease back into it and. And get it again at some point. Especially for you. Yours is a little bit different. Only eight years. Mine being, gosh, 20. However many.
- [47:34]
A
That has been a long time.
- [47:36]
B
Yeah. No, if I try to do it now, my body's like, yeah, you're toast. There's no. There's no coming back. But do you even eat, like, now? Are you full vegan and that you don't eat seafood? Because I do know there's some vegans, vegetarians that will eat seafood.
- [47:49]
A
No, no seafood.
- [47:51]
B
Okay. So that would even be, like, a venture for you in there. Why sushi? Why is sushi the, like, thing you want to try?
- [47:59]
A
That's what they're known for. I do like sushi, but it's all, like, vegan sushi. That's just like, you know, vegetable rolls and stuff like that. But I feel like. I almost feel like that's not really sushi because sushi has raw fish. And I think I just love Japanese culture and I would want to try what they're known for.
- [48:18]
B
Yeah, I guess I didn't realize that's what they're known for. Okay, where are the cities you want to visit in Japan?
- [48:25]
A
I want to go to Tokyo, and I want to go to Kyoto.
- [48:29]
B
Okay. Is that near Tokyo?
- [48:32]
A
I really don't know.
- [48:33]
B
You're like, I just know these little two cities.
- [48:35]
A
I haven't done that much research into it yet as far as just getting to know from what other people have done there. And from seeing pictures of Kyoto, it just looks like a place I want to be. So I want to experience the city, but also a little bit of Just like the landscape of it. It. So I think that's why those are a little bit too different.
- [48:55]
B
Don't they have. Is that where they have the Mario World?
- [49:00]
A
Yeah, in Japan.
- [49:02]
B
Okay. Would you go to that?
- [49:04]
A
Because that's another big part of it. Of all the things that I love, like Pokemon, Nintendo, anime, it's all from Japan. And I feel like going there and going to like the Pokemon stores, the cafes and all those things where is just normal there. I think that part of it would blow my mind. And even just going shopping there where you can go into a store and find like old school Nintendo video games and things that only they have. Because Japan is like 10 years ahead of us when it comes to some of that technology that I would enjoy just going shopping there and just finding things to bring back.

B
You're gonna have to have like a whole separate bag that is just all your items that you bought there.
- [49:43]
A
I'm just taking an empty suitcase and buying as much stuff to load up with.
- [49:48]
B
You know, we did when we were in Paris, we ate at a really cool restaurant, but we met a couple that was from Singapore and they just spoke so highly over there of just the whole area. But I think you should also add Singapore to your list because they like, so clean. They like. The place that they compared it to was Dubai. And I don't know if you've done any research on Dubai, but it's like super clean. And they. Yes, yes. And that's kind of how Singapore is. But it was funny. I asked him the question. I'm assuming you've seen the movie Crazy Rich Asians. I was like, okay, I need to know. It's Crazy Rich Asians, like legit. How well did we do? They're like, yeah, no, not at all. Not at all. So don't expect that when you go to Singapore. But they were really cool and they, they spoke highly just in general, but Japan was one of their thing. One of their places that they said is one of their favorites.
- [50:43]
A
Yeah, I want to go. I think Dubai is one of those places that is so rich where you go out and look on the street and they're just like so many luxury cars driving around where everybody has one and it's almost not even a flex to have one because it is so normal. It's like seeing a Honda Accord out in the wild. And what they take pride in is their license plate numbers because apparently you can pay for like a lower license plate. So if you have license plate, that's just number one. You pay like Millions of dollars to get that license plate. So that is their flex. It's not even the car is the license plate.
- [51:17]
B
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dubai is a different planet. I don't feel like it's actually, you know, here with the rest of us. Also, wasn't it kind of like a made city? Like, it kind of was built from the ground up. It wasn't like. It's not like Dubai's. I don't know if Dubai, the actual city and the name have been there forever, but, like, what Dubai is and what we know Dubai is now is not what it was.
- [51:43]
A
That I don't really know that much about.
- [51:45]
B
Okay, well, there's like. There's some. I. I went down a rabbit hole one time where it was like. It was basically like this made city. Basically take like, a Elon Musk and he, like, created the city is essentially what somebody was saying online. I don't know that that's true because I was on Tick Tock. Can't believe everything on Tick Tock.
- [52:01]
A
Tick Tock.
- [52:02]
B
Yes. This might be why they're taking it away from us. Okay, well, we are gonna jump out of here. I hope you get to go to Japan this year. I hope this is your year for Japan.
- [52:12]
A
Yeah, that is my plan. I am starting to ask friends who have been like, I think my biggest worry is getting there and not speaking the language and feeling lost, because that's kind of how I feel like leaving the country. When I thought about you leaving the country of, like, what you said about we don't know many other languages, and people there, you know, they do know English, and they do it because we go travel there. I experienced that just going down to Costa Rica, where luckily I do speak Spanish. But they know English just because they know people are coming there who are going to know English, and they make such an effort to do that and learn other languages. We don't really do that here. We're like, if you don't speak English, get out of here.
- [52:51]
B
Literally, we're the dumb Americans that won't speak other languages. And that's coming. Like, you have a second language. Like, you speak Spanish. And I major or I minored in French. So, like, I had it. I tried, but I didn't. I wasn't able to keep it because there's nowhere here that I would have been able to practice that language. There was nobody else that was speaking it. Like, you know, dumb on my part. I probably should have just done Spanish, and then at least I would have been able to Try it some places. But it really is, it's. It's wild to me that they, they not only speak their language English, but like they speak multiple. Majority of them speak at least three languages. Majority. And I don't say like, you know, they're so, so fluent, but they're enough to communicate with you and like help you and be able to, to serve you if they're in the service industry or whatever. And that just like breaks my heart that there are people that come over here and they're just like, cool. I don't get to speak like my native language, but I gotta speak yours.
- [53:52]
A
Yeah, that's, that's just a crazy concept.
- [53:55]
B
Yeah. But you would be okay. I do think Japan, especially in the last gosh, couple decades, has definitely had a lot of tourism from America that I do think a lot of them speak English. So I don't think you would be, you would. If you went more local side, you would definitely feel it. Like anytime we were in a local situation, I felt it and I was like, oh, I am that like there be. I'd make a joke and I'm like, that is not the same joke to them. So I'm just going to let that one roll. But otherwise, like when we were not in the local areas, when we were definitely around like the tourism and stuff, you were totally fine. So I think you would be fine over there as long as you stayed there or had someone local to be able to help you in the local areas.
- [54:38]
A
I think I'm gonna start practicing by watching movies from Japan and then watching them with English subtitles. So maybe I can start picking up on some things.
- [54:45]
B
Yes, that did help. Like, even though I didn't have like all of my French anymore, like, even in Paris, like I picked up on words. Heck, I knew when a dude was making fun of us, I was like, yeah, he's totally making fun of us right now. So it does help some dialect, you know what I mean? At least to have like, so you don't feel totally stupid like listening to them. But it's hard. It's also just hard in general to pick up a whole nother language.
- [55:09]
A
So, yeah, I guess I just didn't want to go and feel helpless. Like, man, I can't even communicate that I'm trying to check into my hotel room.
- [55:15]
B
Yeah, I think on level you would be okay. I think you would. So don't worry at least on that. And, and for anybody who wants to travel abroad, unfortunately, we will always be the dumb Americans that don't speak Multiple languages. Okay, we are going to get out of here. Mike, thanks for joining me on this snow day. I'm pretty sure we've had multiple inches accumulate while we've been sitting here.
- [55:37]
A
I'm curious to see what it looks like outside now.
- [55:39]
B
I know, I know. But thanks for catching us up on the break. And we're going to be hopeful that by the next best bits, you will have gone to a run club. That's the goal.
- [55:49]
A
Yeah. Even if it's in the snow.
- [55:50]
B
Even if it's in the snow. We'll be so proud. All right, well, tell the people where they can find you. Hear you, all that good stuff.

The direction I went, but he had a crazy story about drowning, and he remembered the entire thing. His name's Jesse Hutch, and that's why I brought him on to talk all about that. He was in a. A new movie called Homestead. Have you seen that one yet?
- [56:27]
A
I haven't seen it yet. Heard about it.
- [56:29]
B
Okay, so that's what he was in. But yeah, he came on and, like, we talked about the drowning for, like, 30 minutes of, like, he genuinely can remember every moment that happened. And that's insane to me. I was like, that. Like, that has to feel hard to remember. And he was like, actually, like, it helps me now. Crazy. Just crazy story.
