But if a baby is sleeping in the backseat, will you remember they're even there? When you're distracted, stressed or not, usually the one who drives them, the chances of forgetting them in the back seat are much higher. It can happen to anyone. Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly. So get in the habit of checking the back seat when you leave a message from N.N.H.T.S.A. and the Ad Council.

[B]

Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.

[A]

Time for some listener Q and A action. Eddie is joining me this weekend. Thanks, Eddie.

[B]

What's up, Morgan?

[A]

Well, we've got shout outs to Shart.

[B]

Cool.

[A]

Shart.

[B]

Shart. Let's start. Let's start with the shout outs. Your mind's a little scrambled today.

[A]

It is. I love Eddie's laugh. That's from Kelsey in Florida.

[B]

Oh, that's sweet.

[A]

I truly miss Eddie's woos. Bring them back, please. And thanks, Michelle in North Carolina.

[B]

I'm not doing it.

[A]

Did you yell that for that or something?

[B]

Not yelled at. It was just like, it's annoying when you go, ooh. I'm like, why? I get excited. I do. It happens sometimes and it just comes out, you know, like, and I do it and then I look at Amy and Bobby, I'm like, oh, no. Did they catch that one? Sometimes they don't catch it.

[A]

I think you should start doing them like Easter eggs.

[B]

Yeah, it's a good idea.

[A]

See how many you can get in.

[B]

It's a good idea.

[A]

Favorite duo, that's from Krista in California. And then we've got Love. When Eddie's on Best bits. Your conversations just flow broken. California.

[B]

Oh, I think, yeah. You're so easy to talk to. Same like, so easy.

[A]

That's why if you go listen to part one, you just literally hear Eddie and I catching up for 40 minutes.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Like, I don't even think, is there a plan ever?

[A]

Like, I never have a plan with you.

[B]

I really don't.

[A]

I just live like, how's life? And we just go tangents and it's perfect. That's how it works.

[B]

Great. I love it.

[A]

Have you eaten another hot dog yet, Justine, in Canada?

[B]

Nope, I have not.

[A]

Are you avoiding them like the plague?

[B]

No, I just, like, I think three weeks ago, like, I think my wife was like, hey, we're not. We're just going to do hot dogs for dinner. I'm like, great. I'm not eating it. Like, I'm going to. I think I made like a grilled chicken or something because, like, I'm not. I'm not going to eat it.

[A]

Do you think you'll ever eat again?

[B]

Yes, because I love hot dogs.

[A]

But still, it's still lingering that you don't.

[B]

It's just the smell of it. There was something about when I was doing the challenge, when I was cooking the hot dogs, there was this, like, kind of smell that at the time I thought smelled Great. But whatever that is and whatever memory it made in my mind, as soon as I smell that when there's a hot dog on a grill, I gag a little bit.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

We went to the Cubs game last week and Bobby got two hot dogs. And I looked at it, and it's just, you know, I'm such a. I'm not like a. I've never been. Thank God. Never been, like, addicted to, like, things like cigarettes, like drinking. Nothing like that. But I do have this problem with associating an activity with something like, if I'm gonna play golf, I want a beer. If I'm going to watch tv, I need chips. You know what I mean? Like that. And. And if I want to go to a baseball game, I need a hot dog. Oh, and there was a little bit of a. Oh, should I go?

[A]

Which one am I. Which side am I going to go with?

[B]

Here? Yeah. Yeah. And then I finally just said, like, I don't need a hot dog. I'm good.

[A]

That's funny.

[B]

And I didn't have one.

[A]

I don't know if you will ever eat one again.

[B]

You don't think so?

[A]

Well, I just remember a lot of moments in college. Like, I think about, like, alcohol, when I had a moment where I drank too much and I, like, threw something up, a food or whatever, and I was like, I will never eat that again. Most of them I haven't eaten again. I think there might be one or two things that I have, and I still don't. It's not the same.

[B]

Do you remember what those were?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

What?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

What won't you eat again?

[A]

Fettuccine Alfredo from Olive Garden. And Fireball is another one. I just. I have the smell of Fireball.

[B]

Fireballs. Yes.

[A]

So, like, any smell of kind of, like, cinnamon, if it's so strong, I'm like, okay, not.

[B]

Well, I remember I went out one time and, like, you know how people would infuse, like, fruit with vodka or something?

[A]

Yep.

[B]

They would soak gummy bears. No, it was like a real watermelon. And then, like, they would just. They would put vodka in the watermelon, and then they would cut it up and you would eat the watermelon like you were just a nice little Sunday picnic. But it had vodka in it.

[A]

Never had fruit.

[B]

So I. It was. I think it was either pineapples or watermelon. Don't remember. But I had eaten, like, so much of it that I threw up. And all I saw was just watermelon. And till this day, it's Hard for me to kind of eat watermelon because of that dumb memory. Yeah. Drinking, man ruins foods.

[A]

I know. And maybe it is because alcohol was associated, but I don't know, something with throwing up. Anything kind of.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Your body just starts to reject it.

[B]

And that's what I do with the hot dogs.

[A]

I know. So that's. You may never eat one again.

[B]

Probably not that.

[A]

That's gonna be a sad. That's sad for you. Why haven't you opened a 401k yet, Caitlin, in Massachusetts?

[B]

I did. I tried to. I did. I went into our.

[A]

Hold on. You said. I did. I tried to. I did.

[B]

Well, I have one because. And I talked about a little bit on. On. On air is. I looked into it. I went to our little HR portal, whatever, online, and I had already had a 401k at my old job, and so there's money already in there. And you know me, Morgan, you know me. I tried to figure out how I could merge the two. And, like, it required me making a phone call and, like, getting with a company and trying to get the old account and join it with this one. And I just gave up on it. And it's not that, like, I'm down.

[A]

That's like three steps.

[B]

I understand. But anytime you're like, you got to get in the call and they're going to put you on hold for a little bit, I, like, opt out. No. Every single time.

[A]

We do know Eddie does not like to be on a call. Stop, stop.

[B]

You're talking about something.

[A]

It is a thing.

[B]

I don't like calls. I don't like calls.

[A]

Okay, well, you should. You should prioritize this.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Because it's not going to take that much.

[B]

You think I should do 401k or Robin Hood instead?

[A]

I think you should do both.

[B]

I don't know if I can do both.

[A]

You can do both. You just have to prioritize it. Yeah, and maybe like, not prioritize your 50 for gambling a month.

[B]

Whoa, whoa. I'm making money on that too, you know.

[A]

You can make money on Robin Hood.

[B]

Not really.

[A]

You can actually make money on Robin Hood. I know that, like, sustains you.

[B]

Again, I did do a Robin Hood app. I got it on my phone and everything. And I try to connect my. My bank to it, and I had to call a number and I was like, I'm out. Now I gotta call this my bank to, like, just call.

[A]

It takes five seconds on the phone.

[B]

That's. That is not true. It does not take five seconds. It's always like, please hold while we find a representative.

[A]

When you finally talk to somebody, it takes, like, five seconds.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. Thank you for holding. Our. Our customer service people are on the line with other.

[A]

This is your nightmare. It's like, loops in your brain is a nightmare.

[B]

And I'm just like, I don't have time for this.

[A]

You please prioritize both of these things for the love. Which cowboy is your favorite or which is the ultimate cowboy? This is from Jin and Braden.

[B]

Okay. Currently, my favorite cowboy is CD Lamb.

[A]

Okay. I know that name.

[B]

Even though he dropped a lot of passes last week, he's my favorite cowboy. He's just awesome. Overall, though, like, that's tough. I love Emmett Smith.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Emmett. Do you know that name?

[A]

I know that name.

[B]

He was a quarterback. He was a running back for the Cowboys. Back, like, in the 90s.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Awesome, man. Deion Sanders was legit. Troy Aikman.

[A]

I don't feel like you can have, like, three ultimate players.

[B]

Yeah, but that was an ultimate team. Michael Irvin, Ultimate Cowboys.

[A]

Is that when you guys actually did some winning?

[B]

Yes, we won Super Bowls.

[A]

Morgan, if there's one thing I know about football is that the Cowboys don't often win.

[B]

That's great.

[A]

That's all I know.

[B]

Who's your. Who's your boyfriend's team?

[A]

The Steelers.

[B]

Yeah. When's the last time they won?

[A]

I feel like they have quite a few wins, actually.

[B]

The Cowboys have more than the Steelers, and I don't know, maybe the Steelers have one more. I think we have more. The Steelers. I'm not sure, but I don't know.

[A]

I'm just giving you.

[B]

It's hard. People are like, oh, the good boys don't win anymore. When's the. When's the last time the Bills won? Never. When's the last time the Browns won? Never. Like, they've never. They've been a team for freaking 80 years, and they've never won the Super Bowl. The fact that the Cowboys have won Super Bowls is an accomplishment.

[A]

Maybe it's because it's associated with the fact that you guys are America's team.

[B]

Or, like, say, you call each other. We didn't call ourselves America's team. America called the Dallas Cowboys America's team.

[A]

I do wonder who coined that.

[B]

I think it was, like, a marketing tool that the Cowboys probably created.

[A]

For sure, the Cowboys. So, like, maybe it's the fact that you guys call yourselves that and then, like, you're not winning. Maybe that's the association.

[B]

Yeah. But, hey, what, like, I don't know, man.

[A]

Outsider's perspective. I got nothing. I got no skin in this game.

[B]

I understand. I understand why people hate the Cowboys. Like, it's always something. It's always like, we're always like, it's our year, we're going to win, and then we don't. I understand. It's from outside.

[A]

Probably sucks also for you.

[B]

Yeah, man. Like, but we make it to the playoffs. We didn't make it last year, but for the most part, we make it to the playoffs, which, like, you know, a lot of teams don't make it to the playoffs. And it doesn't really. It's not the same to almost get there, but it's something. It's. It's not like our teams are terrible. We're not the worst team in the NFL, so there's that. I love this for you. Sorry, I'm getting loud. I know. I'm sorry.

[A]

I really love this for you. I just also really don't know.

[B]

What was the question? Oh, my favorite cowboy.

[A]

Yeah. And your ultimate. You answered. We got there.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What does your family think that you get to meet and hang out with famous people? Jenny in Indiana?

[B]

Yeah. That's a good question. I don't know. Like, I don't really hang out with famous people.

[A]

Okay. But you're gonna go to iheart Festival next weekend. You're gonna be around a bunch of famous people.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, kind of hang around them.

[B]

Yeah. So it is kind of cool that famous people know my name. You know, like, when they say, like, what's up, Eddie? I'm always like, that's really cool. Like, you know my name.

[A]

And do your kids realize any of this?

[B]

Nah, I don't think so. My kids. My kids feel like everyone's dad knows everyone. You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, since their dad knows whatever country artists or famous people, then they feel like their dad does do this. Their dads do the same.

[A]

What kind of music do they listen to?

[B]

So my oldest is a hip hop, but he loves hip hop. But he's very open to anything, which is cool. And I'll hear him upstairs in his bathroom showering, listening to Credence Clearwater Revival. Or he'll be listening to Stevie Wonderful.

[A]

But then he's a whole mix of.

[B]

Yeah. And then he'll just be like, hey, dad, you ever listen to Pink Floyd and, like, yeah, radio. He came up to me, he's like, do you like Radiohead? I'm like, yeah, I like Radiohead. And that's cool. Like, that's really cool to me because he's finding these bands all on his own. Yeah. Mainly by, like, reading articles where people say, like, oh, this band was influenced by Radiohead. And then he'll be like, who's Radiohead? And, you know, so that's really cool. But then the little ones, well, well, my. My 11 year old loves Pearl Jam now because I took him to a Pearl Jam concert. And Morgan, he loves Pearl Jam.

[A]

That's funny.

[B]

Like, loves Pearl Jam. To the point where my wife's like, stop playing Pearl Jam. Like, your dad ruined it.

[A]

I could see why.

[B]

She's like, your dad ruined Pearl Jam for me. And now you're in. You're ruining it again for me. Because, like, he loves it. And I'm like, this is amazing. That, like, at 11 years old, he. He's almost. He almost reminds me of the way I was with Pearl Jam, where he does all this research. I'm like, that's cool. Like, this is. And this is how they name themselves. And if it wasn't for this drummer, they would have never gotten together in that way. And it's really cool.

[A]

You really helped your kid inherit some bad taste is what you did there.

[B]

It's not bad taste, Morgan.

[A]

I had to give you a hard time because I also remember.

[B]

No, you're not giving me a hard time, though, because you said you listened to it and you didn't understand it. You were like, it's not that good. They're overrated.

[A]

I did. And that's still how I feel. That's why I had to make the joke that, like, you're.

[B]

It's not a joke. You're being serious.

[A]

It's a half joke.

[B]

Yeah. And then my little, little one. Oh, my gosh. He just loves music. All of it, everything. And he loves, like, recently, he's like, every time before we go to a baseball game, he listens to whoop, there it is. He wants to hear, like, play whomp. There it is. And he's in the back like, whoa, there it is.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

He's just. He's just the life of the party.

[A]

Oh, he just wants to be the vibe.

[B]

Yes, he is the vibe.

[A]

Oh, that's cute. Okay, well, I think we got there.

[B]

Yeah, we got there. We got there.

I had this, like, overwhelming sensation that I had to call her right there, and I just hit call, said, you know, hey, I'm Jacob Schick. I'm the CEO of One Tribe foundation, and I just wanted to call and let her know there's a lot of people battling some of the very same things you're battling, and there is help out there.

[B]

There's a lot of love that flows through this place and it's sincere now.

[A]

It's a personal mission. Don't have to go to any more funerals.

You know, I got blown up on a react mission. I ended up having amputation below the knee of my right leg and a traumatic brain injury because I landed on my head.

Hi, I'm Jenica Lopez, and in the new season of the Overcomer podcast, I'm taking you on an exciting journey of self reflection. Am I ready to enter this new part of my life? Like, am I ready to be in a relationship? Am I ready to have kids and to really just devote myself and my time? I wanted to be successful on my own, not just because of who my mom is. Like, I felt like I needed to be better or work twice as hard as she did. Join me for conversations about healing and growth. Life is freaking hard and growth doesn't happen in comfort. It happens in motion, even when you're hurting. All from one of my favorite spaces, the kitchen. Honestly, these are going to come out so freaking amazing. Be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the Overcome for podcast as part of the Michael Tura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Brooke in California wants to know if I ever got that pair of shoes from the guy on socials. So far, nothing has arrived, but that is the only update I have.

[B]

But you did tell him that you wanted the shoes?

[A]

Yeah, I sent him a pair of shoes. I sent him the studio address and.

[B]

Oh, what were the shoes?

[A]

They're like a pair of high heels.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

Not like high high heels, like little kitten heels, maybe?

[B]

What are kitten heels where they just.

[A]

Have much smaller, like, high heels Are straight up high heels.

[B]

Okay. And why did he want to send.

[A]

Nobody knows. But that's what we were trying to figure out. We were also trying to figure out if he was actually going to send him.

[B]

Yeah. How long has this been?

[A]

I feel like it's been about a month.

[B]

Yeah. You should have those shoes by now.

[A]

Yeah. So I haven't seen anything yet. Okay, we'll touch back maybe in a year, see if we've have any updates.

[B]

You better get your shoes within a year.

[A]

I know. Do any of the boys have cell phones besides the oldest? How's that going? Megan in New York?

[B]

Megan from New York? No, just the oldest has a cell phone. And he is very responsible with his cell phone. Although lately he's been saying he wants Snapchat. Help me out with this and maybe I'll bring it up on the show. I don't know because it's pretty new to me. And like, I used to have Snapchat when it first came out. I don't. I don't. Then it's not even on my phone anymore. I think, like in one of the updates it deleted and I never. I never downloaded it again. But he says that he wants Snapchat because that's kind of how everyone communicates now. No one even really texts. He said people just Snapchat each other and like, let's just. And he feels like he should get it. And this has been in the last week. And my wife's like, should we let him get Snapchat? And I'm like, I don't think there's anything wrong with Snapchat except for the fact that people think that you can take a picture and it won't last long. So sometimes they do little devious pictures.

[A]

Yep, that's exactly what I was about to say. Everything disappears after 24 hours.

[B]

So they say yes.

[A]

And I don't know, it's been a long time since I've been on Snapchat. Honestly, I got away from it because Snapchat to me is just one of those very sneaky ones. Like, it is the way that kids communicate 100%. They send pictures to each other. It's a fun way for them to communicate.

[B]

Don't they like geo track each other too? And then it tells you where you are and they'll be like, cool, dude, you're right by me.

[A]

Let's get together and you can chat with each other. I think you even have some groups and stuff now where you can send things to a mass group and chat that way. So it is a way that kids communicate, and I do think he could responsibly have it. You just have to be aware that there are possibilities for things to be shared on there that aren't necessarily good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In different ways. Whether it be not safe for work or, you know, some usage of things that they're not supposed to be having.

[B]

But. But, like, they could send a text, too, with like a dirty picture. Right.

[A]

They won't. They will use Snapchat.

[B]

Okay, got it.

[A]

That is exactly how they will do it.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Because of that. Now, as long as you have those conversations, just say you're never supposed to be asking for this. You're never supposed to receive this or give this. Like, I think as long as he's aware of all of that, he won't ever find himself in that situation. It's when there's not a lot of education and conversation around it. I think it's a great way for him, especially given what we talked about in part one, that you all can go, this is new for him to socialize and keep up with his friends. So I would just say, yes, but just be aware and monitor and just check in every so often about it and see how it's going.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But it is a way that they are sneaky. It just. I was so sneaky with it.

[B]

I totally understand both sides of it. Like, I do. Like, I. And I immediately, I'm like, yeah, like, why not? You should have Snapchat. Like, a lot of kids have Snapchat.

[A]

Has he been sneakier at any other point in his life?

[B]

No, not really.

[A]

Then I wouldn't worry about it.

[B]

Not really. Yeah, he's a good kid.

[A]

It tends to be a pattern. And I had patterns. And trust me, I showed a lot of things, so there was no surprise. Like, I was just kind of a rebel child, you know? So, like, I was always sneaky. I'd sneak out.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, oh, I got you. I got you.

[A]

I was showing patterns.

[B]

Yeah. And it's weird. He's not like that at all, which.

[A]

Then you don't have to worry about. Like, he won't have that type of behavior on social media. I'd say however they act as a person is what you could. You would replicate. Digital media just exemplified that is good to know.

[B]

So, and then my middle school kid, just to finish on that, answer that, answering that question is, he has the Apple watch. And so it's kind of cool. Like, it's not. He can kind of. It's like he has a phone, but he doesn't have a phone and it works.

[A]

Waits for you to communicate with him.

[B]

Totally.

[A]

And safety matters.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

What do you miss the most about Austin? Jose from Texas.

[B]

Ooh, Austin, man, I miss. I miss my friends and family in Austin. Like, my mom and my sister live in Austin. My brother no longer lives in Austin, but. And I still have, like, five or six really close friends of mine that still live in Austin. That's what I miss the most about it. And also, too, what kind of sucks about going back to Austin is that how do I divvy all that time to go see all my friends and then see my mom and my sister? So it makes going to Austin tough. But I remember when we went back for Christmas last year or two years ago, we kind of had a little Christmas party because we were in Austin, and we're like, you know what? Let's just let everyone know that we're in town, and if they want to come, they could come see us at our Airbnb. And, like, everyone came, and it was so cool.

[A]

Because that makes it a lot more fun.

[B]

Totally. Because it's always so stressful to go down there and be like, man, I don't really want to let anyone know that I'm here because they're going to be like, hey, let's go do this. And then, like, my mom really wants to hang out, and I only have, like, two days to be here, so it always ends up kind of being a thing. But that's really what I miss most about it. On just the city part of it. I miss the food. I miss barbecue. Like, Texas brisket. Like, I miss that.

[A]

You haven't found anywhere here that has it.

[B]

No, it's not. Like, it's not the way it is down there. Like, it's Texas brisket is like that. And Austin is, like, to me, the hub of good, good, good barbecue. Not that Houston doesn't have good barbecue or that Dallas doesn't have good barbecue, but Austin, to me, like, with Salt Lick and Franklin's and Blacks and the Lockhart barbecue, like, all that stuff is, like the OG Barbecue stuff. Interstellar, which I had the other day, was really good. The day is like, last year, it was really, really good. I feel like Austin is the Mecca for, like, barbecue, and I miss all that.

[A]

That's fair. Food is always a good association with cities. My husband really wants kids. I'm nervous. Any advice on having a first kid? Thank you, guys. You're the best. Tegan, this is our last question.

[B]

Tegan, that's a loaded Question. Because I feel like both of you all should be really excited to have kids. To have kids.

[A]

Especially you, Teagan. I mean, you're the one who's gonna go through all of it. Yeah, you're gonna go through the labor, you're gonna give birth, you're gonna be a very responsible party. And half of that for the very beginning especially. Yeah, you definitely want to make sure you want that.

[B]

Now if you're just worried about having kids, because the idea of having kids is a very, like, large concern.

[A]

Yes. Very daunting, very nerve wracking.

[B]

It's a life changing event. Like, having kids is a life changing event. And yes, you can look at it and be like, I'm not ready for that. But I will say that somehow, some way, we are equipped to raise children. Like my wife, when we've had our first son. I don't like, if you looked at both of us, we'd be like, there's no way that these two kids could have a baby and raise a child. But as soon as that baby was born, my wife knew what to do. I turned into this very soft, caring human that I never really was before. And you start just kind of living life a little differently. You start looking at life a little different. The financial responsibility finally just becomes like a no brainer of like, oh, I can't be reckless with my money. I have to support a child. You know, like, everything starts working out. And so if you're. You feel overwhelmed or you feel like you're not ready for all those reasons, like you're not able to have a kid, or you're not ready to settle down, or you don't have enough money to have a kid, all that stuff. Don't worry about it. Because you kind. It kind of works out.

[A]

Life forces you to figure it out.

[B]

It really does. Like, we're survivors in that way. And so if that's the concern, start thinking that you're. Start thinking that you're ready to have kids. But if you feel in your heart that you're not ready to have kids, don't have them. Because you are.

[A]

Because it is a life changing event.

[B]

It's a life changing event. And your life is going to change. I mean, you'll realize later that it's for the better. I felt like my life was ending when I found out we were pregnant with our first. Like, literally, my life flashed before my eyes of like, oh, my gosh, I'm gonna get fat. I'm gonna be a baseball coach. I'm gonna be like, the death of Eddie. Yeah. Like, everything flashed before my eyes. Like, oh, my gosh, the life, life as I know it is no longer gonna be the same. But that wasn't the case. And it was a slow roll into me being a coach and me getting fatter. It was a slow roll.

[A]

Okay, well, that second part, I don't know. That's not true. I didn't know you before the show, though, so I don't know.

[B]

But, oh, I got a little chunky monkey, like, after we had our first kid.

[A]

Well, it's also dad mode. You went into dad mode?

[B]

Yeah. And then, you know, like, it's still. Still stressful, like raising a kid. Because you're just like, what do we do? He won't stop crying. And start eating a little more, drinking a little more. Just like, trying to find your outlets. Yeah, exactly.

[A]

Oh, Eddie. Well, thanks for coming on. Talking about things. Make sure you guys go check out part one. We talked life and all kinds of stuff, kids stuff. You want to hear about all that and Eddie being a dad.
