The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.

[Morgan]

Part one.

[Listener]

Behind the scenes with a member of the show.

[Morgan]

What's up, everybody? Welcome to part one of Best Bits. This weekend I am joined by Scuba Steve.

[Listener]

Yes. And it doesn't affect anyone who's listening to this, but it is really weird. We're in a new studio, a new place, and our AC is still broken. So there's these temporary fans outside. I don't know if you can hear them, but hold on a second. If this is audible, listen. If it's not, it's like this.

[Morgan]

I'm picking it up a little bit.

[Listener]

All day, every day, all the time. No matter what.

[Morgan]

You hear these fans, white noise, amplified all the time.

[Listener]

Yeah. It's like being in. I think we're being. It's like a psychiatric ward. They're testing our limits to see how much we can handle this ambient noise, but at a super high level for weeks on end. I'm losing my.

[Morgan]

Yeah, last week, I think it was last weekend, I had Avi on and it was so hot in here. We were sweating and we started just to get straight up delusional because we were like, at some point we were like, I don't even know what we're talking about. We were like drenched in sweat.

[Listener]

And so losers like Ray yesterday had his shirt off. He was like, he's walking on the shirt off. Like, what are you doing? He's like, it's 100 degrees in there. It's a hot box. Because they. An AC vent. They didn't put the temporary AC units in the smaller studios. They only put them in the important ones, like our studio. Like all the other morning show studios.

[Morgan]

Can sweat for an hour or so. You're fine, you're whatever.

[Listener]

It's fine. Yeah.

[Morgan]

What is our update on our AC situation?

[Listener]

So I finally, I got a follow up and it was, I think a couple days ago they said that they're removing these temporary units the end of this week. I don't know what day this is, but at the end of this week they're going to be gone and on Sunday they're going to be switching over to the main AC because they found the leak in the Freon. They're going to fix it in the weekend and then by Monday, it should be silent out in the hall hallways, and it should be relying only on the normal AC units.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, let's hope that that's actually what's gonna happen. And in that time frame. Yeah, it feels like it's been the longest version of fixing an AC unit that's ever existed.

[Listener]

Yeah, it was supposed to happen, like, three weeks ago when I left for Miami for Fiesta Latina. They told me, hey, when you get back, those units are gonna be gone, and we're gonna have AC pumping and working. And I'm like, all right, sweet. And I came back and it wasn't.

[Morgan]

So I feel like it's just taking a lot of time. That was an update people have. Keep asking on how AC everybody thought we were doing better because it. What's crazy, though, is our studio now is freaking Antarctica. It went from the desert to Antarctica. There is no in between. I walked in there this morning. I immediately walked out and went. Got my blanket. I'm not doing this today with, like.

[Listener]

91 to, I think, 5756. Like, it's hella cold in there now.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

That's the new studio, guys. Welcome to the show. Let's talk about something you're actually looking forward to, though. Like, let's talk about something good, exciting. Is there anything coming in the next few months where you're like, I'm really excited.

[Listener]

Oh, I thought you. I thought you had something for me. Like, you have something exciting coming. I was like, what is it? Cause I have no idea.

[Morgan]

You're like, what's happening here? No, I mean, just like, in your life. Cause we're, you know, we did our little complaining of the AC units. Now let's talk about exciting stuff.

[Listener]

Gotcha. So it's spinning with a positive into the Yang.

[Morgan]

Any exciting things, stuff you're looking forward to in the coming months?

[Listener]

Well, obviously the holiday, because I love. I love Christmas and I love getting out of here and having a couple weeks to go. I was adjusting my arms in my chair.

[Morgan]

SK is real. It feels very out of body right now.

[Listener]

So weird. Everything is weird. It's even a smaller room, and the positioning of everything is just. It's just different. It just takes a little getting used to it.

[Morgan]

Is you going to be okay?

[Listener]

I think I'll be fine. Yeah. It's a little sensory overload with the fans. I can still hear the damn fans out there with the door closed. It's a soundproof door in a soundproof room. And all here are fans.

[Morgan]

I know but it's okay. You can't hear it on the audio.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Kevin assured me.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

You gonna be okay?

[Listener]

I'm gonna be fine. The perfectionist in me is slowly gonna have to die.

[Morgan]

Yep. You just gotta let go, let go of things you can't control. And right now, we can't control that.

[Listener]

That's right.

[Morgan]

Christmas.

[Listener]

Christmas.

[Morgan]

Elsa, have you guys started decorating?

[Listener]

We have not. Because the problem is all the leaves have fallen, or most of them have. And then the moment I have time to blow them or get rid of them or mow them off to the side, which is actually what I really do, I get on the mower, and I just. And I go to the left, and they go to the right, and I blow all the leaves off to one side. One goes into the woods, so it doesn't matter. So I don't wake, you know. Another one I put. And I just rake it and put it around my trees, and I create. It's like natural mulch.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

I don't want to do.

[Morgan]

You're supposed to do.

[Listener]

Yeah, I do that. Or usually I would burn it. And I guess that was not good because I had, like, power lines near my house. And so I was gonna say, is.

[Morgan]

It not good to burn leaves? I feel like that's what we burn.

[Listener]

Well, you can, but. But I think it's the. I think it's. You have to get, I don't know.

[Morgan]

Permission, maybe.

[Listener]

Yeah, but maybe it's different here in Tennessee.

[Morgan]

No, I've never heard anything about burning leaves.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

But maybe it has something to do with the power lines. Maybe that combination of all the things. Fire.

[Listener]

Fire and power. Yeah, that could be. Yeah. Maybe just it.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

But. Yeah, so I can't move the leaves off to then put my Christmas lights up. So everything is kind of at a standstill because it keeps fricking raining. Every time it rains, it gets all wet inside. I just also haven't had a whole lot of extra time because then I. Then I'm coaching my son's basketball team. Matt started up. So there's practice once a week and a game once a week. There's two days where I would have, like, some extra time gone. And then the kids are just nuts, and they take a lot of extra time and attention, which I enjoy and I love, and I want to give them the attention, but it's tough to give them undivided attention because I have some boxes I got to check. Once I check those boxes, then I can hang out with Them. And if I want to do other things, I feel guilty because I want to hang out with them. So it's this whole, like, cycle of guilt.

[Morgan]

Are they not old enough yet to help you do decorating? I feel like I started decorating with my parents ever since I was, like, a child, I'd be trying to throw on ornaments. My mom, like, not there. Put it over here.

[Listener]

Exactly. So you. So you think you're helping, but really, you add more time to the clock.

[Morgan]

True.

[Listener]

Because you're making a mess. But it's fun, though.

[Morgan]

Memories for me.

[Listener]

Yes. No. My oldest one, because he's six going on seven. He definitely is at the age now where he's going to help out. He helped out last year, but he can help out more and do more, like, you know, put the stakes in the yard or whatever. Help with the ornaments. He gets excited. And now the one that's three going on four, she can help out, but she's still kind of like what you were describing of like. No, not there. Don't drop it. Oh, my gosh. Hold on a second.

[Morgan]

Lots of broken ornaments.

[Listener]

Yes.

[Morgan]

I would even help my dad, like, what you're saying. I would help him put the lights up. Out. I'd be so excited. I'd be screwing on new lights. He'd put him up. He'd be like, okay, Morgan, there's five that need replacing. And I'd climb up the ladder.

[Listener]

Are you up in the ladder?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[Morgan]

I mean, I wasn't a baby when those were happening. I was a little bit older. I was probably, like, seven or eight maybe. But I would be going up, and he'd watch me. He'd be right there, and I'd go, and I'd change all the lights, and I loved it. But then it was funny. By the time I got into high school, he's like, you gonna come help with your Christmas night? I was like, nope, but you better put him up.

[Listener]

You only had me from age 0 to about 14.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Now I'm good. But you better have him up, because I really, like. I just, you know, don't want to be part of that process.

[Listener]

Yeah, exactly. Or I definitely want to be part of the process that comes with taking it down, because taking it down sucks the most. And no one wants to help with that. Everyone loves putting them up, but no one loves taking them down. And guess who has to still do it. Your dad. Okay. And this dad. We have to do it still. And we have to also put it away and put it away in an organized way, because if you don't, then you have a whole year of those cords being stuck in that weird memory. And then when you pull them out next year, they're all funky and they're all over the place and they're all messed up.

[Morgan]

Probably won't work. Buy new ones.

[Listener]

Exactly. Yes. Yeah. Or your wife is mad at you because it looks disorganized and like crap. So you have to make sure it looks nice and neat. So there's all that that goes with it.

[Morgan]

See, this is also why everybody wants to know why I always put some stuff, the Christmas stuff up so early, and I keep it up really late. Like, sometimes my. My window of Christmas is early November to, like, February.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I just kind of leave it up.

[Listener]

February. Okay.

[Morgan]

Sometimes that has happened. It's been, like, close. It gets, like, close to Valentine's Day. I'm like, I should probably take this.

[Listener]

This is why I don't have a Valentine.

[Morgan]

It's because.

[Listener]

I'm just kidding. Oh.

[Morgan]

You know, there' multiple reasons, but I will start to take them down, and they're just so much effort, and it takes so much time that I'm like, I want to enjoy it for as long as I want to enjoy it, and then I'll put it up.

[Listener]

That's fair.

[Morgan]

It takes so much time.

[Listener]

It doesn't. And if you're like me, you end up procrastinating it because you haven't had time to get to it. And then it becomes December. You're like, I haven't put them up at all now. And now you have an even smaller window to enjoy them. So. Yeah, So I think it's great. Put them up as early as you possibly can. We used to, as kids. I don't know what you did, but it was always the day of Thanksgiving. So is that Black Friday? We would do all lights, all day.

[Morgan]

Ours is always beginning of November.

[Listener]

Like, I've always been early. Early, yeah.

[Morgan]

Because we just never really decorated for Thanksgiving. We didn't have the fall. We had all the Christmas decorations always out for Thanksgiving. It was like holiday decor with Thanksgiving. And we always had big Thanksgiving celebrations, but it just wasn't that decoration. It was not like a bunch of turkeys on the wall.

[Listener]

Well, yeah, we didn't have much decoration either. It was more of the sense of, I guess, my mom's eyes. It was like, we're gonna. We're gonna celebrate all the holidays. We're gonna enjoy them as they are, and then we'll move on to the next one. Because At Halloween, it would be same thing. It was October 1st. Halloween began. And November 1st, Halloween was completely over. It was gone. And then it was getting ready for Thanksgiving, since she'd bring out all of her red stuff and, like, all of, like. Like, fall colors. And then the idea was, okay, now you had Thanksgiving. There's no vision of Christmas. And then Christmas, boom. Next day, Christmas music, Christmas lights, Christmas, everything. It was, like, on steroids.

[Morgan]

See, I think that's cool, though. I love that everybody has their different traditions, and it always ranges from what you did as a kid that you then bring into that next phase.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I think it's cool. However you want to do it.

[Listener]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[Morgan]

You know, I'm the one that's.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Holly Jolly from November 1st. But I like it February.

[Listener]

If my kids could have their way, we would be doing it November. They were asking for it as soon as Halloween was over, like, hey, can we go to Christmas? And I was. I'd love to. Let's do it. But then, you know, just things.

[Morgan]

Life gets in the way.

[Listener]

Gets in the way. Leaves get in the way. Life gets in the way.

[Morgan]

Blame it on the league.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

How is dad life going?

[Listener]

It's great. It's a little more busy because of basketball season.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And are they winning this year?

[Listener]

So the first two games, they did not. The first game, they were right there. It was a team we played last year that also moved up with us in age. A great team, but they had the formula of one kid, get the ball to the one kid, and there's, like, somewhat of an okay second kid. So they just dominated with that one kid. I was like, you got to stop that one kid is all what it takes. And they were sort of getting it towards the end. And so it's neck and neck, but they had, like, this run where he was going back to back, and I was like, all right, whatever. But they learned, and they were great on defense and offense. Like, they basically destroyed him for the first couple quarters and did really well, but then you just get tired and. And plus, too, like, it's kids. So, like, some weekends you have all nine, 10 of them, and some weekends you have six, which means you have one person to rotate off the bench. And they're kids. They're, you know, they're six, seven years old. So, like, you can't really expect a whole lot out of them, you know? But you want them to also win because it feels good to win. If you don't, it's whatever. But I saw. We try to focus on the positives of that game. Even though they didn't win, I'm like, okay, so you guys didn't win. But it was great teamwork. We moved the ball around. It was the first time with them playing without me on the court. Because last season I got to be on the court and, like, help direct them and all that. And when I told them this year.

[Morgan]

So, like, you were actually on. On the court, not side court, it.

[Listener]

Was the coolest thing ever. Oh, yeah, because, like. Yeah, because it's like pre K and K in this league in particular, I think a lot of them, it's almost like coach pitch, but for basketball, where the coaches are on the court, you know, not you're not in the game, but you're walking alongside and trying to help direct them. Like, hey, cut to the ride or take it to the basket or, look, he's open. Pass it to him or take the shot. You're kind of helping direct them. Except for now, it's the sidelines, where it is as you get older and it's a little more difficult. And when I told him at the first practice this year, I was like, hey, yo, so coach is not going to be with you guys in the court? And they're like, what? I was like, yeah, not on the court. And then no wristbands to match the guys up. And they're like, huh? And I was like, yeah. And so I have to be over there on the sideline. They're like, really?

[Morgan]

Oh, man, wait, they wore wristbands to match up with the other team.

[Listener]

Yeah. So like, so you would. If you had a red and a red, you had to guard. They're basically trying to teach him the fundamentals of man one, you know, one on one defense, like, that's your man. You stick with the guy with the red wristband. That's who you were with the whole time. He guards you. You guard him. Yeah, because then. But sometimes where the ball goes, everyone runs the ball, even fair.

[Morgan]

But that's so clever. They never did that. When I played basketball, it was like a free for all.

[Listener]

Yeah, exactly. It's like, guard that guy. Like, I don't remember what he looks like anymore. It's like, just follow the ball. And so you would just follow the ball. But now they have to try to do the one on one. And some coaches, they don't really follow that. But I was really big on it. I was like, all right, match up. Red on red. Put your hands out. Blue on blue. All right. That's who you Cover. I'm like, but in a situation where there's a fast break or something, and if you have red and blues running past you and no one's around, of course, help out, block the shot. But in a situation where everyone's on that side of the court, it's one on one. And it's teaching them to, you know, get that. Because as you get older, that's what you're supposed to do. You do the one on one defense. You know, of course other things happen, but that's what they're trying to teach him. And I was big on that. And so this year, it's no more wristbands. It's like, remember that person and their number, because that's your guard in the whole time. And then they're. I'm not on the court, so I can't help direct them. So their confidence level kind of went down a little bit. And they're not as like. Because before. All right, just. Just go look like it's wide open to the right. No one's there. They're all to the left. If you just cut to the right, go and like, all right, cool. And then whenever they were stressed, I tell them, like, calm down, take a deep breath, and just take your time. And you're there to, like, guide them a little bit more. And so this time it's kind of like from the sideline. No, no, no, not you. You bring it in. No, come on. Oh, my gosh, guys, come on. Team.

[Morgan]

Team frustration.

[Listener]

You're on the same team. Quit trying to take the ball from him. So it's a little bit different. It's a little bit. How am I take this stupid screen off? Because it's, like, cutting into my beard. Ugh. Gross.

[Morgan]

Behind the scenes.

[Listener]

Yes. But anyway, just to cap that is that it's different now. They're on their own, they're doing okay. And I focus on the positive. Like, the last game, they lost by a few points as well. I was so close again. I'm like, oh, my gosh. And they kept. They were calling fouls now, but equated to points so there's no foul shots. So they had, I think, like, seven or eight fouls because they were so aggressive on defense. They were, like, all up in it. So my positive takeaway was like, yo, you guys were strong on defense, even though some of them, you got a little frustrated on them. I was like, but a lot of those, you had the ball. And even the ref was like, yo, those are some good blocks. But at this age I'm calling a foul. He goes. But you know, when they're a couple years older, that's a great block. I'm like, all right, well, why don't you just not call it a foul now and call it a block?

[Morgan]

But whatever, you know, gotta. Gotta call it a little easy on him these days.

[Listener]

Yeah. And I get it. So then. So seven or eight of those turned into points. Points versus the fouls. So I was like, hey, you're strong on defense. And now we got to continue to work on our teamwork on the offense side and moving the ball around, not being afraid to go in. So this practice we worked on all those things. So I look at it as a long term thing of like, all right, we're going to build. Because then there's a second season after this where they restart and start all over again.

[Morgan]

Okay, Coach Scuba.

[Listener]

So, yeah, so I always do the two back to back. I do the fall and the winter. And so fall is like, by the end of. You get. By the time you get the end of fall or even midway through, then it's like they're domin. They're dominating, they're winning, like every single game. And it happened last year. And then you get to part two, and it's like, we're unstoppable. There's no way that anyone can beat us. And we're having so much fun because everyone gets to play. And I give everyone a shot to bring the ball in and I give everyone a chance to be able to hold the ball and take a shot. And when I was out on the court, it was easier to also be like, all right, no, he hasn't had a chance to make it yet. Let's give him a chance. And everyone help him out and try to block the way to give him a shot because he's, you know, we're at the end of the season now and everyone's got at least a few points and he hasn't had one yet. Let's get. Let's. Come on, let's help him out. Let's get Jackson. Let's give Jackson. Come on, let's get Jackson a point. Come on. And so they're like, all right. And then Jackson got a point. He's finally scored one of the littler kids. And not as confident by the end of the season, but much more confident, but just couldn't get the shot. But he finally got it. I was like, oh, my gosh, this is like a Disney movie.

[Morgan]

Do you want to be like a coach in another live Scuba. I look at you right now, I.

[Listener]

Think it'd be kind of cool to be able. Like, in my head, the Disney movie or series would be. You know, it's like, I do this job, and it starts off with, like, this lifestyle. Like, it's the radio, and it's like. But then his true passion is coaching kids. And then it turns into me coaching my son and following him along all through the middle school in high school, and then all of a sudden, then I get picked up to college, and then he goes to my college, and I miss coach in college.

[Morgan]

This has evolved very quickly, and I don't know that that's how it quite works.

[Listener]

And then it gets into the NBA, and then instead of it being like, LeBron James and his son as players, it becomes player coach, and I become his coach in the NBA, and he's the star player. And some of those kids that were with him from kindergarten have moved up with him, and they're all on the same team, and it's like, this whole thing, and it's amazing.

[Morgan]

That's a really great Disney movie.

[Listener]

It is.

[Morgan]

That will not happen in real life. For the simple fact, not. Not that you aren't capable of it. You totally could. But you would have to coach a lot to become a coach in the NBA.

[Listener]

Oh, I know. But I'm starting now. It's been. I've done, like, four seasons, so I'm at the very beginning of this. I'm at the very tip. I'm working. Hey, quoting another Disney movie.

[Morgan]

You can't. You can't do it. Like, different grades every year. You would have to, like, stay consistent.

[Listener]

I'm moving up. But once you get to high school, it becomes a whole nother thing. And then I go. I start working at college earlier, and I'm like. I'm, like, interning and figuring it out and going to the games, and I'm a study of the sport, and I'm able to do it, you know.

[Morgan]

Hey, you know what, Scuba? Never mind. You. You can do it. I believe in you. But I do think it's a great Disney movie. Great plot for a movie.

[Listener]

It is. And quoting another Disney movie. Hey, it could happen.

[Morgan]

Which one is that one?

[Listener]

Angels in the Outfield.

[Morgan]

Hey.

[Listener]

Oh, it could happen.

[Morgan]

Dude, that was such a generic movie line. Like, I did not know where we were going.

[Listener]

All that kid ever said was like, hey, it could happen.

[Morgan]

And it was always, gosh, that's been. That's been a long time since I've seen Angels in the outfield.

[Listener]

That's a great movie. What's his name?

[Morgan]

Kevin Costner. In that movie, I feel like he's.

[Listener]

The guy that the mom falls in love with. Maybe.

[Morgan]

Let me look up the cats. You do have Google.

[Listener]

We do, and. But the guy from Back to the Future is in it. Christopher. I got Christopher Walken stuck in my head, and I can't get it out.

[Morgan]

Angels in the outfield. Let's see. Oh, no, it's not Kevin Costner. That's Field of Dreams. I think it's Kevin Costner.

[Listener]

Okay. Yeah. Kevin Costner. This is. What's his name? There's the two guys from the 80s. Joseph Gordon Levitt's the kid.

[Morgan]

Yep. Danny Glover.

[Listener]

Danny glover. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Matthew McConaughey's in it. Tony Danza. Christopher Lloyd.

[Listener]

Christopher Lloyd. I. Christopher Walken stuck in my head. Christopher Lloyd's the guy from Back in the future. He's Doc Brown.

[Morgan]

Got it. Yep. He is. Okay.

[Listener]

Well, if you haven't seen it, I recommend this weekend.

[Morgan]

I definitely seen it. It's just been a long time.

[Listener]

Well, I think you should. You need a nice little refresher.

[Morgan]

I do like watching the old Disney movies. It makes me feel happy.

[Listener]

Yeah, it was a great time.

[Morgan]

Christmas kick right now. Scuba.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But this doesn't fall in it.

[Listener]

But this is also in the kind of. In that sense, because then it reminds you of, like, childhood and the good days. And it's nostalgia.

[Morgan]

That's true.

[Listener]

Nostalgic.

[Morgan]

Nostalgia and nostalgic. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break because we were supposed to do a second ago and I forgot. So real quick.

[Morgan]

Well, scuba. Besides Christmas and basketball, what else has been going on in your life? Anything else exciting?

[Listener]

Exciting? Or just going on?

[Morgan]

Or sad? Or going on?

[Listener]

What's going on in your life?

[Morgan]

Whatever you want to share.

[Listener]

What's going on? What do you want to share about your life?

[Morgan]

We can talk about whatever. But I'm just trying to make sure you get a chance to share all the details of your life right now.

[Listener]

I think that's about all the details that I can share at the moment or what am I can talk about? I don't know.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

All right. I don't have anything specific. I really don't.

[Listener]

Just came on. I came back from a trip. You were in Austin and San Antonio, and you're flying all over and you're doing station visits and shows and interviews. Apparently, you know, social content, sales meetings.

[Morgan]

We did some funny social content. We. This is my idea, and I should not have come up with it, but I did. And it was, hey, we're going to hold shots of alcohol in our mouth, and whoever swallows first gets slapped with a tortilla.

[Listener]

Oh, my God. That's what you guys are doing. I thought you guys had. I thought it was old school, like, pie to the face, like, double dare type style. But I didn't see any whipped cream, so I figured, oh, that's weird. Pie to the face, but there's no cream.

[Morgan]

It was the slap the tortilla challenge with a twist of drinking alcohol. So by like, 4pm I was five shots deep, and I was like, guys, I need a break. I'm exhausted. I've traveled all day.

[Listener]

And you're holding the alcohol in your mouth was, like, entering your blood system or whatever.

[Morgan]

Exactly. And my tongue was numb multiple times.

[Listener]

Oh, I bet.

[Morgan]

So, yeah, it was fun. I love San Antonio. I'd never been. I got to see the Riverwalk. I was driving in my rental car, and I saw it and I popped out. I literally put my hazard lights on. Popped out. Out, like, oh, cool. See it, take a picture, pop back in the car. Gotta go.

[Listener]

What about the Alamo? Did you get to see that?

[Morgan]

No.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

I was in there. I was there for less than 24 hours.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Slept in my hotel room for four hours, worked in it a little bit in the morning, and then had to peace out.

[Listener]

Okay. Yeah. I'd never been to San Antonio myself. I'd always want to see the Alamo, eat some good food there, and go to a San Antonio spurs game would be what I want to do.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, we can make that happen because I've met the wonderfully nice people of San Antonio, and they want me to come back. So they come back.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

They have a connection with the spurs or they. Let's go. I met her. She was amazing. And then also, we totally don't go to the Alamo I want to go have a drink at Hotel Emma, which they said is so amazing. It's the only five star hotel in the continental U.S. really?

[Listener]

The only one.

[Morgan]

Five not five star, five diamond.

[Listener]

Okay, gotcha.

[Morgan]

So it's super. Apparently super nice. Really? Like everybody raved about it. It's called Hotel Emma.

[Listener]

Emma. Okay. In San Antonio.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Yeah. And we were going to go and then the show got done super late, so it was closing. But I want to go back and go there too, so that the Alamo and I want to actually experience the river walk besides my one second pit stop.

[Listener]

Yeah, yeah. And actually see it and do it. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Walk it down.

[Listener]

This kind of reminds me of like, like the Fairmont chains, like where it's like old style and like super historic and beautiful and super clean and looks really nice. Oh, yeah, this is nice.

[Morgan]

Yeah. There wasn't a single person that didn't have great things to say about that.

[Listener]

Okay. It looks cool.

[Morgan]

Even ra. Randy Rogers. Do you know Randy Rogers Band? I don't know if you're familiar with like, Roy Rogers. No, not the same Roy Rogers in the.

[Listener]

And the art, like the roast beef sandwiches.

[Morgan]

None at all.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

There's Randy Rogers Band, who are wildly famous for Texas country. Like, they're red dirt, the OGs. And he has a lot of business investments. But even he, who's like super well versed of Texas, could not stop raving about this place.

[Listener]

Randy Rogers.

[Morgan]

Yeah, Randy Rogers. Texas loves them. Some Randy Rogers. Even Kansas. I grew up listening to them.

[Listener]

Okay, like, what's their, like, big song that you go, oh, I know that one. They have a song that transcends all genres. For them to be that big.

[Morgan]

Well, that's why I said Texas loves them. Like, they're a Texas red dirt country band, but they're very well known in the space of country music.

[Listener]

Gotcha.

[Morgan]

I asked you because you're not like, before now. You weren't a country music person.

[Listener]

Definitely wasn't a Texas person. So.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And that's like even deeper than regular country music. So.

[Listener]

Yeah. My only thing about Texas is probably the San Antonio spurs, like their. Their iconicness within the NBA. Like, they're just an icon team with Dave Robinson, Tim Duncan, Papa Bitch, all that. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So we can go to a Spurs game because I may want it. Listen, I was connecting. I was networking. I was saying hi.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Kissing babies.

[Listener]

You were kissing babies?

[Morgan]

No, not really.

[Listener]

How many babies did you kiss? Okay, gotcha. It was like a figurative thing.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

You didn't literally kiss a Baby.

[Morgan]

No, I didn't.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

I mean, I would have if somebody needed me to, but that feels weird.

[Listener]

Yeah, exactly. Can I. Can you kiss my baby, please? Kiss my baby.

[Morgan]

What they say when you're like, I was doing everything. Kiss all the babies, Shaking all the hands.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's some figurative.

[Listener]

Yeah, I know it is.

[Morgan]

I just messed with you, you know, Missed the whole rest of it.

[Listener]

Well, like, they did. They joked on that on Ricky Bobby, where Will Ferrell was signing babies. I'll sign your baby.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Yeah. They're kind of making fun of Bobby. Hey, Ricky Bobby, if you're not first or last.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So it was fun. I had a good time down there. I recently took myself on a little hot date date to my favorite Italian restaurant in town.

[Listener]

You took. You took yourself, like, by yourself on a hot date. Okay, so you dated yourself.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Sat at the bar.

[Listener]

What's your favorite Italian restaurant?

[Morgan]

It's a place called Italian.

[Listener]

Italian.

[Morgan]

It's called Palado.

[Listener]

Palado. I never heard of it.

[Morgan]

They have one of my favorite pastas in town. It's this radiatory. Radatory. I don't know how you pronounce the Italian version. No, it's not Ratatouille. It's radiatory. It's like. Nope, not. It doesn't have a G. It has a D. How do you spell it? R, A, R, I, D, I, A, or just T, O, R, I. Right.

[Listener]

Yeah. Radatory noodles. I've seen this before. Yeah, it's like, kind of like squiggly a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

They have an insane dish of that, and it's my favorite in town. So I went there and I had myself a Cosmo. I also got some potatoes. I had dessert, and I just sat there and have myself a little hot date.

[Listener]

I have never heard of this place before. Palado, the one you told me to go to. And I've been going there a few times, and they have a couple locations now is Nicoletti's. They had to make the fresh homemade pasta that you can take us during the pandemic. You had to go there and pick it up and take it home. And it was so phenomenal. And it's good. I'm fine with Olive Garden. Olive Garden, to me, I feel like it's just. Is pretty damn good. This Nicoletti is, like, on a whole nother level. So this is even better than Nicoletti's.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Yeah. So I like Nicoletti's for taking it home and eating it at home.

[Listener]

Okay, good take out.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I really love Palado. They have my favorite pasta dish in town. Like, top pasta. Second.

[Listener]

Oh, this is where St. Stephen used to be.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Listener]

Oh, and I. And I loved St. Stephen. Not because of my name, but it was just a really good restaurant. And the person who took me on to that was Ryan Seacrest. Because when he came to town like seven years ago, when I was working with him, he was like, oh, this place called St. Stephen. It was amazing. And the chef and I was bummed that place closed down.

[Morgan]

People were really bummed when it so bum.

[Listener]

That didn't make any sense to me why that place closed. It was so freaking delicious.

[Morgan]

It's not the location either. The location is in Germantown, which is really good. I just don't know know if you know it. Everybody's. But yeah, Pado number one for pasta. Number two. Pasta is Coco's Italian Kitchen. They have a tortellini that's amazing.

[Listener]

That the one that's over there on the west side, it's like hidden by the bridge.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's a mom and pop place. They have a few in town.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Lunchbox is also a major fan of that one.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

But yeah, those are my two top Italian Cocos.

[Listener]

Italian market. Okay. All right. So, yeah, I've seen this one before. Yeah, near Charlotte Avenue by the bridge. Yep. Okay.

[Morgan]

But Nicoletti's pasta for, like, taking it for you, it's amazing.

[Listener]

Oh, it's a freaking phenomenal. Palados is more of a date night for me and the wife. Okay.

[Morgan]

See, I got you. And for anybody else who's coming. Also, I would like to point out that Amy's right. I did. I'm having a glow up scuba.

[Listener]

Oh, I missed it then. Was it. What do you mean, a glow up?

[Morgan]

So she came on air was like, you go through a breakup and you have a glow up, which is. This is. That's not uncommon knowledge.

[Listener]

You, like, feel better about yourself and you, like, like, for me, went through a divorce. I lost like £20. I got rich ripped.

[Morgan]

Well. Really? You lost like, what? 120 pounds? You know, like her plus whatever.

[Listener]

That's what they say.

[Morgan]

That's the joke.

[Listener]

Oh, she weighed more than 100 pounds.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, I was trying to be nice, you know, I don't know, however much. That's what they say you, like, lose your weight.

[Listener]

But then weight is so relative depending on the. On the structure of the person. Like if you're super short and weigh 400 pounds, it looks. It looks like 400 pounds, but if you're like 7ft tall, you're 400 pounds, you're like Shaq and you're. It's distributed differently and like a number. I guess I'm trying to get out to speak positively towards body images and all that kind of stuff.

[Morgan]

I chose a hundred that was just like a level.

[Listener]

100 also isn't one of those ones where it's like 100 may not be good because if you're 6ft. If you're 6 foot 6, you're 100 pounds. Something's wrong.

[Morgan]

No, 100 is for any normal adult. Is not great.

[Listener]

Yeah, exactly. Depend. But the 100 can be great though, depending on your size though. So you can't play 100. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. But I don't want to say that you're £100 and you're like, well, I'm actually £120 and whatever.

[Morgan]

Anyway.

[Listener]

Yeah, but you started this though.

[Morgan]

It's a person's body part. I was just trying to say that.

[Listener]

You threw a number out there, lost.

[Morgan]

More than 20 pounds.

[Listener]

Yes. Okay. There you go.

[Morgan]

That's how you should probably. That was the metaphor.

[Listener]

Yes, I know, I know, yes.

[Morgan]

Anyway, that's not even what I was relating it to.

[Listener]

Uh huh. I sidetracked you.

[Morgan]

Listen, my little arms, okay, My arms have been the toughest part. And other women out there can speak to this. Like, my legs are so, so strong, but my arms, man, it's really hard to lift a lot of weight.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And you know what? The other day.

[Listener]

What?

[Morgan]

I lifted 65 pounds in push presses on each side.

[Listener]

65?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Listener]

You had a 65 pound on each side.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no. I take that back. It was 65 total.

[Listener]

Oh, okay. I was like, whoa, that's really impressive.

[Morgan]

Getting there because I started out with only tens on each side.

[Listener]

Okay. So basically you have 30. You really have like a 30 on each side. Or. Or like, like 225 is like really strong.

[Morgan]

Yes. Which was insane. When I put that on there, I was like, there's no way I can do this. There's no.

[Listener]

Cool.

[Morgan]

And I did it and I freaked out and I did it 25 times. It wasn't even one of those where it was like, okay, I can just do it once. And we're getting. Yeah, I did it 20, 25 times.

[Listener]

That's pretty incredible.

[Morgan]

I was so proud of myself.

[Listener]

That's really, really cool.

[Morgan]

I felt really strong.

[Listener]

That's very strong.

[Morgan]

And I can climb a rope.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I've never been able to that's a.

[Listener]

Full body strength thing to climb rope. That's hard to do. That's not easy. I can't even climb the rope or any. I can't do anything anymore. I'm so physically out of shape, which I think has affected my personality and me as. As a human and my everything.

[Morgan]

Scuba.

[Listener]

We used to work out three days a week, three to four days a week. And I was in great shape. And now I'm like, I'm not. I wish we moved to this new building. I was hoping they were gonna have have a gym in it that we could use. Because when I was in a building like this before in Burbank, we had a gym and it cost like 30 bucks a month. And you could. It was convenient because I come to work a little bit earlier, work out, quick shower, go upstairs, do the show. Now it's like, to go to the gym. It's a full two hours out of my day. And I just don't have that. I really don't.

[Morgan]

I did just check out the floor above us, and there's like, abandoned rooms. So if you wanted turn into a gym. Yeah, I don't think they would know.

[Listener]

Start making my own home gym and start squatting. And if I squat it, then it's mine, and then I have rights now.

[Morgan]

Exactly. And you're here all the time.

[Listener]

Probably.

[Morgan]

You could squat all the time.

[Listener]

I could just squat up there too. Do actual physical squats as well with my bar.

[Morgan]

Both physical and literal. Literal squatting, yeah.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

None of the other squatting. Because that's kind of gross, but.

[Listener]

Yes. Yeah. Yeah, you get it.

[Morgan]

So yeah, you could go do that up there. I'm sorry there's no gym here, though. And I'm sorry that you're not able to get into the gym right now.

[Listener]

I know it really sucks because I feel like that's kind of what my out. Like, what my problem is is not. I was like, what am I doing differently that I was. Was that I wasn't, or what am I not doing that I wasn't doing before? And I'm like, oh, I haven't really been working out. Which then snowballs into my mental health and snowballs into how I eat and what I do. And then my physical strength is into my mental strength. And then it's into, like, me with the kids, me being tired. I'm like, damn, I need to go back to the gym workout. I'm like, but damn, I don't have time to go to the gym workout. And you got people Like Bobby, who's like, well, you can make time. And Amy's like, you gotta carve out the time. It's like an elephant. It's like, no, you can't effing do that. When it literally isn't in your schedule to be able to go and set out an hour and a half, two hours of time to go to the gym. Gym, yeah. It's just not there.

[Morgan]

You do listen there. There's. There's two sides to this, right? Like, yes, you do have to carve out the time and you have to make it a priority. But there's also this thing when it comes to being an adult where you have to choose. You get to choose out of, like, five things. Two or three have to be the priority.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And then the other two are, like, important to you, but you can't make time for them all the time. And just for you right now, where you're at in your life and how young your kids are and what's happening in your career, like, that's just one of the bottom five. And there's nothing wrong with that.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But to your point, you may have to force it back into the top three because of how you're feeling. It's the. Not even just, like, going to the gym. Maybe it's. You start going on longer walks. Like, maybe you go on walks with the kids. Maybe that is how you can start incorporating it. Because it's more just the physical activity that your body needs than it necessarily needs gym. And that can be like you're getting back into it without taking away from your other things. Maybe you just have to start going on some long walks.

[Listener]

We tried doing the walks, but I hate going on walks because it's so boring.

[Morgan]

I hear you.

[Listener]

I absolutely hate it so much.

[Morgan]

I hear you. But here's where the balance comes in. Yeah, that's something that you can do with your kids. Yeah, it's exercise.

[Listener]

And they like going on walks. They like going to the parks and walking around, and I don't mind taking them, but we do do that. We go to the park or we go to the. The place by our house and walk around. It's fine. But, like, after a while, I'm like, oh, my God, now we have to turn back around and make it all the way back to where we started from. Like, because if you. If you're in a gym, you're in that space, and when you're done with cardio, you just hop off and there you are.

[Morgan]

But here, now this is where you're making excuses.

[Listener]

Yes.

[Morgan]

This is like, I hear you.

[Listener]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

And I get it. It's not the best preference. Like, it's not your preference of what you would like to do.

[Listener]

Yeah, I want to go to the gym. Like, I used to go. I used to go to 24 Hour Fitness in Sherman Oaks every day after work. I'd get off work around like, 1231, and then I would go to the gym for an hour and a half, and then I would head home, and then I would start getting dinner ready or whatever and getting ready for my wife to come home. And then we'd have the rest of the evening kind of do whatever, and then I'd go to the gym maybe tomorrow or the next day, I don't know. But I would for sure get in three to four days. And then we go together on a Friday or Saturday. And then we'd also go to Disneyland or Universal and we get all our cardio there. Walking around. It's like I'm missing all that, and I don't have any of it here.

[Morgan]

Well, but also, that's hard. You have kids now. That is a drastic life change that you did not have before.

[Listener]

I know, I know.

[Morgan]

Because you could be doing those things.

[Listener]

Oh, yeah, but I didn't have kids. Yeah. I have to go pick up the kids in two hours. And then when I pick them up, then it's like, then there's the understanding that I never really understood until I had kids of like, oh, crap, I literally have no time because now they're home, they haven't seen me all day, and I want to be a dick and be like, hey, I'm going to go. Because I have to do it sometimes, like, I don't really have a choice. I have to go in the office for two hours, but they'll still come in and. And I don't want to say bother, but they still come in and interrupt me, which makes something that would be 90 minutes now three hours long. Because I don't want to stop down and ignore them. So I.

[Morgan]

Okay, then that.

[Pets Best Insurance Representative]

This is.

[Morgan]

This is my challenge then to you. Instead of trying to carve out time away from all of it, find a way to incorporate them into physical activity for you.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So the walks, you just. Even if you don't love them, just do it. You know, it's good for you. It's getting your body moving. You'll feel better. Like, even getting in 5,000 steps, you'll feel better.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Find something you can do at the house that maybe they can be involved in. Kids are so curious, Right. They would love to sit there and. And be like, what's dad doing? If you're doing some workout on the TV or you have some weights there and involve them in it.

[Listener]

I want to do insanity. I used to do insanity with Shaun T. Same. Insanity used to make me sweat. So I was dripping sweat by the end.

[Morgan]

I'm pretty sure I still have mine. Scuba.

[Listener]

Well, I have mine. I have the DVDs. I have the DVD. I have the workout. I have everything. I just need to put it into my DVD player and go.

[Morgan]

Okay. And do that and just get your kids involved. And it gives them an activity. They don't have to actually do it, but they can pretend like they are, and they're hanging out with dad and it's an activity. Maybe those are your two ways. Instead of looking at it as something you have to carve out time to go do, how can you incorporate them into doing it?

[Listener]

Okay. I can see them, all three of them sitting there in front of the tv trying to do Shaun T's around the World. All right, let's do it again.

[LifeLock Representative]

All right.

[Listener]

Let's take a quick water break. Then you come back. You're like, wow, let's go again.

[Morgan]

Then you're introducing them not only to fitness, but, like, just some older things that are nostalgic for you. There's multiple levels to this that could be beneficial to all of you guys.

[Listener]

Okay. All right. I like that.

[Morgan]

Just an idea.

[Listener]

It is a good idea. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Just to not make it feel so daunting. Because the one thing we don't like to do is when things are daunting, we just keep pushing it away.

[Listener]

Daunting. Or if it's not what you're used to. Because I'm used to being able to go to the gym, and I want to just go to the gym, but I know. I realized I can't just go to the gym.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

So how can I. How can I get around that?

[Morgan]

You have to change your perspective on it.

[Listener]

Yeah, that.

[Morgan]

It starts with that. It's like, okay. So that's why I say no longer look at it as, like, carving out time. I have to make time to go. This is the only way to do it.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

There's so many ways to do it now.

[Listener]

It's true.

[Morgan]

Even just being active in that capacity will help you feel better too. Even if it is just a walk once a day.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

Something that. Food for thought.

[Listener]

Food for thought.

[Morgan]

You don't have to do it though.

[Listener]

Okay, speaking of food for thought, this is random and no one can see this, but they. In these new studios, they put monitors everywhere. So you can, like, put up a monitor and put up a graphic. Like, right now, we could be shooting video of best bits of the week, and you can put it up. But the funny thing is they put the monitor in front of us and the camera faces the wall with no monitor, you know, so they put this monitor up so you could see whatever show is in here to do something, but the monitor doesn't face the camera, so you would never see that monitor.

[Morgan]

So it's straight producer mind on us for a second. It is.

[Listener]

It's kind of dumb.

[Morgan]

We're gonna take one more quick break. We'll have a few. Just a few more questions.

[Morgan]

We'Re going to do a debate here. Scuba. You know how there's a thread on Reddit where it's the Amazon I the A hole. Have you heard of that? They basically all come on and they write different things of like their experience and they're like, am I the jerk in this situation?

[Listener]

Like, here's what's happening and is it me or am I just thinking it's not me because it's I'm thinking because it's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

So I'm doing a version of that. But it's Am I the weirdo?

[Listener]

Okay. Am I the weirdo? Okay, gotcha.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you can propose something, maybe this will trigger something for you. But I like to eat tortillas with sour cream and cheese cold. Like I just, I put a tortilla down, put some sour cream cheese, roll it up. I just snack well.

[Listener]

I mean the sour cream I get. Because you wouldn't want that warm, right? That'd be gross.

[Morgan]

Some people I like warm, like tacos, enchiladas, Sometimes it's warm.

[Listener]

True. I guess it gets warm because it's mixed with warm items. Because. Because if you were to warm up sour cream, it'd be like a mush a little bit. Yeah.

[Morgan]

But everybody thinks I'm. I'm weird because I just straight up eat just these cold. Like there's no meat. There's no like anything. It's just like cheese, sour cream and tortilla. So am I the weirdo?

[Listener]

I think, knowing you, because you don't eat meat and be like, oh, she's not a weirdo. She doesn't eat meats. This is what she eats. The weird part to me is eating the cold chees. Cause I would, what I would do is I would take the tortilla and I would then put butter on the bottom and I put it on the pan and I put cheese on there, let the cheese melt a little bit, then put the sour cream and roll it real quick. Real quick and then strike it.

[Morgan]

But then that's kind of like a quesadilla.

[Listener]

Yeah. But I think the part for me, I can't grasp is the cold cheese. Like, it doesn't, for me doesn't make sense. And then a cold tortilla.

[Morgan]

Oh, okay.

[Listener]

It's a cold tortilla. That's another thing I was going to get to.

[Morgan]

Now you're taking.

[Listener]

You eat like an actual like refrigerator temperature. Hot. Not even hot like that. Like that weird texture it has. Because it's cold.

[Morgan]

Yes. I'm telling you, I just take it straight out of the fridge, put it on play, and I just.

[Listener]

It's like eating a brick. It's like, it's. It's like, how do you do. I don't understand. I don't know.

[Morgan]

The ones that I have, they're made out of sweet potatoes because they're gluten.

[Listener]

Free and they're made of sweet potatoes.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

It's not even the corn one or the flour one.

[Morgan]

I can't have the flower ones. Well, I could, but. But I'm mostly what I eat at home, free. The corn ones don't roll up. Yeah, they do.

[Listener]

Yeah, they roll up. What kind of corn ones you getting?

[Morgan]

Oh, I always think of the corn ones as like the hard ones.

[Listener]

Oh, no, no, no. That. That's. That's hard shell taco versus soft shell taco.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I know. Sorry. No, it's not functioning in.

[Listener]

That's okay. Like the traditional one that you would go. If you were to go to a great place called like Guados in la, there's A old woman there that makes it with corn mash or meso, I think that's what it's called. And then she will form into these little tortillas and. Oh yeah, those. Those fold.

[Morgan]

No, you're right. Cuz I've had like corn enchiladas at rest and stuff. I don't know why. I just like never see them at the store. I could. I also don't necessarily. I'm. I think my taste buds are starting to shift. But I never really loved corn tortillas.

[Listener]

Really. Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

Weird, weird.

[Listener]

You're weird and you're weird and it's not you, it is you. You're weird.

[Morgan]

I know, but it is also weird because I eat tortilla chips, so.

[Listener]

Which is the same thing. It would just fried, like.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it doesn't make sense in my brain.

[Listener]

Okay, well, it's like me, like for like. I do not. Like, am I weird? I don't mind catching ketchup, but God, do I hate a tomato. I want nothing to do with the tomato. It's a texture thing. I don't want tomatoes. I don't like it out of my marinara sauce. I don't mind chunks of tomatoes in the marinara because it's been hot and cooked. It's a little soft, but like an actual tomato versus ketchup. I can't stand a tomato. Love ketchup.

[Morgan]

Can you have tomatoes on anything? Like, obviously not. You don't like the tomato about itself.

[Listener]

I don't want like on my sandwich. I don't want it in my burger. I don't want it in a salad. I want. I don't want cherry tomatoes. I want any cold tomato ever. Gross.

[Morgan]

That is interesting.

[Listener]

The smell of it, the texture.

[Morgan]

Like, is this a thing that you have always not liked?

[Listener]

Yeah, I've never. I haven't liked it in a very long. Forever.

[Morgan]

Okay. This was me up until I was about 21 years old and I started loving tomatoes. Now I eat tomatoes raw all the time.

[Listener]

Okay. Oh.

[Morgan]

So that's why I say it could be a change that.

[Listener]

But I've tried it over time, though, because I know your taste buds change every seven years. Allegedly. But I've tried it a few different times. And even, like recently I tried a fried green tomato and that was pretty good. I didn't mind that one. It was fried and it had some sort of like, cheese on it. Whatever. It was actually really, really good. But I don't like the red tomatoes cold.

[Morgan]

Like raw tomatoes is what you're not liking.

[Listener]

Yeah, I think it's the raw. I think it's just more of a texture thing. And just the smell of it, I think it's just foul.

[Morgan]

I would like to personally say you're weird, but I don't. I don't think that's uncommon.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I think there's a lot of people out there that like ketchup and sauces and stuff, but they don't like regular tomatoes.

[Listener]

Okay. At the place I went to, I was trying to think of. Have you ever heard of Harper's?

[Morgan]

Harper's. It's new.

[Listener]

Harper Steakhouse. Yeah, they went there a few weeks ago. It's real. It's very new. Oh, my God. They had that fried green tomato thing there. Harper's is legit.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

Steaks. You don't eat steak. But the steaks are really, really good there. And all the food was really good and the drinks were good. It's. It's a steak. They have steak. But of course they have many other things. But steak is one of their. What they're known for because they have like, oh, we go to Illinois and we get this special cow and. Yeah, whatever. I don't know, but it's just really, really good.

[Morgan]

Poor Illinois cow.

[Listener]

Know, delicious. Seafood's good. Steak's good. All the food is good.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

It's an experience. It's delicious.

[Morgan]

So if people are coming to Nashville, you got two recommendations from Paul Auto and Harper's.

[Listener]

Harper's. Yeah, Harper's is awesome. Get a reservation too and see if you can get a booth. Because they put us in this like, little booth area. Yeah, just me and my wife. We felt like two mobsters. And there's like half circle booth romantic vibe spot. Oh, yeah, it's badass.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's a cool vibe.

[Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay, last question. And we're going to bounce out of here. Do you have a holiday TV comfort? Like something you always put on TV as soon as that holidays start to hit? You're like, I got. I gotta watch.

[Listener]

Oh, yeah. Home Alone. And my kids love it, especially my oldest because we'll watch Home Alone and then him and I will play Marvin Harry, like throughout the house. And he'll play. He'll play like Kevin McAllister and he'll be like, he, like, he. He's a great actor. Like, he'll have me be the bad guys and he'll throw out the car and then I get all hurt. And he like does this whole. He does all the lines, like.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Listener]

And all the stuff. And he just is so Animated with it. That I love it. So I get excited for Home Alone.

[Morgan]

I feel like you could decorate your house to be like Home Alone in the movie a little bit.

[Listener]

We could. Yeah. Like put some paint. Paint on, like strings. It'd be very dangerous. Ornaments in the ground for the windows.

[Morgan]

They could be also fun. It's like a kid's Christmas playground.

[Listener]

Totally. Yeah. Like a booby trap. Like, watch where you step at all times and where you walk.

[Morgan]

Has he seen all of them or just the first one?

[Listener]

Seen the first one. He seen Lost in New York, which is the second one. And then we started to get into the third one, which is weird because there's no one from the original ones. It's like a whole new cast from the 90s.

[Morgan]

Ever seen the third one?

[Listener]

And no one should see it. It's awful. But he doesn't mind it. He doesn't care. He's not. Like, he didn't grow up in my time frame. So he's not biased on the first two versus I think there's even a third and a fourth and even a fifth one maybe.

[Morgan]

Let me see.

[Listener]

But he started with last year. We started going through all the Home Alones and I think we watched the third, fourth, and fifth because they had a new one that came out recently too.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they do that. Came out on Disney Plus Home Alone in the 90s. Home Alone 2, Lost in New York 92, Home Alone 3, 1998. That looks like the Taylor kid from Home Improvement.

[Listener]

JTT, let me see.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it may not be. It just looks fuzzy.

[Listener]

It's a. It's a kid that looked like him. It almost like one of those things. If you were to go to like a casting call, it'd be the kid that didn't get it, but JTT got it. Looks just like him.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

But then he gets all the crappy rules at no one wants. Happens a lot in Hollywood.

[Morgan]

So I wasn't wrong to.

[Listener]

Yeah, he was the typ cast for that era.

[Morgan]

2002, Home Alone 4, 2012 Home Alone the holiday something. And then 2021 Home Sweet Home Alone.

[Listener]

And that was a newer one that came out on Disney Plus. So we've definitely seen one and two. I believe we've definitely seen three because it's weird and it's so 90s and everyone's got these weird cell phones and glasses and. And fashion, which is kind of fun to watch. I don't remember four or five. I think he must have watched on my own and I tuned turned out.

[Morgan]

And then the the new one. Dang.

[Listener]

Yeah, the new one. You have a lot.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I didn't even realize they had. I just only knew about the first two.

[Listener]

That's all you need to. Really need to know about. The other ones. Kick rocks good.

[Morgan]

I always have on. On my rotation. I have. I have a list.

[Listener]

Oh, you have multiples.

[Morgan]

This is how the season goes for me.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

How I kick it off is always how the Grinch Stole Christmas, My favorite.

[Listener]

Christmas movie of all time with Jim Carrey.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Listener]

That's a great one. Yeah.

[Morgan]

The live action, I guess you would.

[Listener]

Call it, the first one that came out. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's my favorite Christmas movie of all time. And then I will play the Santa Claus. One, two, and three.

[Listener]

Okay. That's a good one, too. Yeah, we watch those. The kids like that too.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they're so good. I just introduced my niece and nephew, I think two years ago. I was like, no, you have to watch all of them. This is an experience.

[Listener]

It's so cool. That's a great, great franchise. The fourth one, or do they have just three now?

[Morgan]

Just three.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I think they were in talks. Well, they came out with a TV show and I've been watching the TV show.

[Listener]

That's what it was. That's what made me think there's a fourth one. Okay.

[Morgan]

They're all back.

[Listener]

They're all the original Bernard back and everything. Okay, cool.

[Morgan]

I. I don't know if Bernard came back in the first season. I want to say there's a second season or something, and he was. I don't know if Bernard came back, but everybody else did. Like, the original everything.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, all of them. So that was. Has been fun to watch, too.

[Listener]

Yeah. Okay.

[Morgan]

I actually enjoyed that one.

[Listener]

That's a great one.

[Morgan]

But so I. I do those and then I will put on Gilmore Girls will be my background for just like the entire holiday season.

[Listener]

Oh, so it's not Christmas, though, right? Gilmore Girls.

[Morgan]

There's something about it that's super festive. It's a very small town. It's very homy. So I think the hominess is what makes me identify it with Christmas time. Okay.

[Listener]

And then it's all like, we're talking earlier about Disney movies like Angels in the Outfield and all that, where it's like, not necessarily Christmas, but it reminds you of a time when you're a kid, which is great. And it gives you. Okay. Got you.

[Morgan]

Give you a specific feeling. And something about Gilmore Girls does that for me.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And then the one that I always make sure. To watch before the season is over, I'll binge watch the Harry Potter movies.

[Listener]

Okay. Also Christmas, but not Christmas like Die Hard where it takes place at Christmas, but it's not a Christmas movie. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I'm pretty sure there's only one in that entire series where it's actually Christmas time.

[Listener]

I think it's the first one backwards.

[Morgan]

At one point, but that's. So those are, like, my lineup that I have to consume during the holidays.

[Listener]

You don't do the Christmas story with the Ralphie and shoot your eye out and all that?

[Morgan]

No, I never got into those ones.

[Listener]

Really? There's only one? Well, they have a couple, but the only one that matters is the first one. They have a second one about tops. It's kind of dumb, but the first one's the one that they play on TBS for 24 hours.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I've seen them.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

But I think I just spent so much time really, like, my entire culture. For me, like, you want to look at me as a human being, and what I experienced was Disney and country music.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Those are the two things that I was, like, raised on.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So anything Disney related I've seen and anything about country music, music wise, I know you've been.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But everything else is, like, if it came, like, it came very sprinkled in and I would catch it, it was not part of, like, my childhood. Yeah.

[Listener]

So it's how your parents raised you. In a sense, they were in a Disney and in the country music. So that's what you got.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Okay. All right.

[Morgan]

So that's kind of like why with you, like, you'll have rock music and stuff. I'm like, I have no idea. Any of these I wasn't raised on. I don't know, whatever.

[Listener]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So that's where mine came from.

[Listener]

Okay. That makes sense. Yeah. We had a lot of Disney, too. We were very, very Disney. Nickelodeon and then whatever my parents were into, which they were into the, like, Christmas Story and all that.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, my. We dominated the tv, so I don't think I ever really saw the things my parents wanted to see.

[Listener]

Whatever you wanted. Yeah. That's why Disney got you. Okay.

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Listener]

They had to fall in love with it because of you.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, my. My dad was a huge fan of Top Gun, so Top Gun was a big one.

[Listener]

Oh, yeah. We were Top Gun family. That's the dark side of our story, of our family. But do you want to share?

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Listener]

We're talking about great things in the holiday.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Listener]

That's a hell of Dark story that's.

[Morgan]

Associated with Top Gun, though.

[Listener]

Oh, yeah. Cocaine, Top Gun, my dad and my family falling apart. It was like the worst night of my life.

[Morgan]

Was it because Top Gun was like the background noise to all of it, or was it something particular with the movie?

[Listener]

Well, it was just what was on We Came Home that day.

[Morgan]

Got it.

[Listener]

So. So it's tied to a very negative memory.

[Morgan]

Understand? Yeah, yeah, I was.

[Listener]

Because I was not Top Gun's fault. Top Gun's a great movie, but it's just associated with a very negative day in my life. So it's like, oh, I hear Top Gun. I'm like, oh, I hate talking.

[Morgan]

Did you ever watch the new one? Or were you like, I don't want to.

[Listener]

No. Yeah, I was like, I don't really give a shit.

[Morgan]

That's such a bummer, because it really is. That's a good movie.

[Listener]

I know. I know. It's a great movie. Iceman. Everything is great. It's cool. But I hate it, so.

[Morgan]

But understand, everybody has something that they associate with a particular time and they won't go back to it.

[Listener]

Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

I was just making sure. I was like, is there, like, something I should be watching for in this movie?

[Listener]

Well, like, should be canceled, like, okay to talk about it.

[Morgan]

I miss something. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

[Listener]

No.

[Morgan]

All right, we're going to jump out of here before I try and make Scuba cry and talk about things he doesn't want to talk.

[Listener]

Yeah, no, thanks.

[Morgan]

All right, we will see you guys later. Scuba, tell them where they can find you here you. All that good stuff.

[Listener]

Yeah, you can find me on Twitter and on Instagram and I'm still on. On Tik Tok, but I don't ever check it. It's so dumb and stupid. But you can find me at Scuba. Stev R. Awesome.

So one of my teachers in high school, who was my savior when I went through a really bad bullying situation. And because of what I went through, she is. Had went through training to become the school's counselor and she's been.

[Listener]

She's gonna. Come on. Have you talked about her before? What you and I may maybe a few months ago. You told me the whole story and he had this one teacher that was there for you and she kind of took on the whole. So she's going to come on. Yep. Is it like in person or on Zoom or how you doing?

[Morgan]

It'll be on Zoom because she's back in Wichita and I wanted to wait and do it in person, but I was like, I just really want this. I think this will be such a cool interview to have just over the course of not only the shared experience of what I went through, but her becoming a counselor because of that and her now have having changed lives for 10 plus years.
