[Morgan]

What's up, friends? Happy weekend. Scuba Steve joining me.

[Scuba Steve]

What's up? What's up?

[Morgan]

It's best bits time.

[Scuba Steve]

It is. I got a phone. Someone's calling me.

[Morgan]

Is that a scammer?

[Scuba Steve]

Let's find out.

[Morgan]

Oh, boy.

[Nav Green]

Hello, Sunshine State.

[Scuba Steve]

This is the cleaning experts.

[Nav Green]

Did you know the EPA recommends you.

[Scuba Steve]

Clean your air ducts at least once every three years.

[Nav Green]

Press 3 now to speak to one of our courtiers.

[Morgan]

Don't press three.

[Scuba Steve]

No. You don't think so?

[Morgan]

The sunshine expert did not get the call that you moved to Tennessee several years ago.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Nav Green]

Leave the hidden dangers living inside you.

[Morgan]

Hang up on.

[Scuba Steve]

What do I press to not talk to them, though. But he's still talking. How do I shut him up? But I want them to keep calling me, though. But what do you press to not talk to them?

[Morgan]

Just block the caller.

[Scuba Steve]

He doesn't give you an option to not to not talk to them.

[Morgan]

Exactly. Just end it.

[Scuba Steve]

How do I not talk to you? Just hit zero.

[Morgan]

Oh, boy. No, just hit end and block the call.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, now I press zero. And it was supposed to go away.

[Morgan]

You're not listening on purpose.

[Scuba Steve]

I know, but I said three to talk to them. Zero wasn't the option. I figured zero was the one to go. Yeah, I saw the option for three to talk to you, but I pressed zero. I was hoping that it was the option to not talk to you, but I guess I still talk to you.

[Nav Green]

Okay, you have to press 9. Yeah, press 9 to be removed from the list.

[Scuba Steve]

It's all good. There's nine.

[Morgan]

So much chaos.

[Scuba Steve]

How do I get signed up for this crap?

[Morgan]

Probably. And this is what I went through. I went and, like, scrubbed my email of everything that I was attached to. Was like, unsubscribe, unsubscribe. You have to, like, go and manually unsubscribe from so many things.

[Scuba Steve]

So I did that. And then I got part of a scam because then I had these emails of like, these, like, I won't say where they're from, but it was like these nasty, like, hateful emails. And I was like, I don't want to see this crap. I don't want to see this negative rhetoric of what's happening in our country. I. I don't want it. I don't want it. So I hit unsubscribe. But that unsubscribe was actually a malicious link that then hacked my Google account. And so for a whole month I was dealing with all this crap of someone trying to. From somewhere in Richmond, Virginia, hacking my Google calling me. Like, I. I would get these fake calls from a Google number, and it wasn't really Google, and it would say, someone's trying to get in your account at Google over in Richmond, and went and talked to the woman or. And then I got transferred. I actually post this on my Tik Tok and Instagram of talking to the scammer. And I talked to him for a really long time. And then eventually, like, you should really, really. If you haven't seen it, it's actually pretty good.

[Morgan]

I think I saw one clip of you doing it. You were like confronting a scammer.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I did it in three parts, cuz then the third part was when I actually talked to the guy. And then he was like, okay, Mr. Steven, nice try. And I was like, nice try, what? And he was like, nice try. You've been on the phone with me for 18 minutes. Da, da, da. He's like. He's like, you're wasting my time. I was like, no, no, no. I was like, no, wait a second here. I was like, you're wasting my time. Because scammer. He's like, I'm not a scammer. I'm trying to help you get your Google account back yet. I was like, you do not work for Google. I was like, where are you at in San Francisco? He's like, I'm not. And we went through this whole thing and I was just like, this is such a bunch of. But I found out when I talked to somebody who actually work at Google, he's like, well, the problem was we found that you clicked unsubscribe and that unsubscribe from that malicious email, then took your information. I was like, well, how do you unsubscribe from these? He said, you have to just keep deleting them. He goes, you can't unsubscribe from some of these.

[Morgan]

That's such a crap. Hey, this is why you should go listen to part one. Because we talked about how everything is a scam.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, it is. It really is. I just kind of want to throw all this crap away and live off the grid.

[Morgan]

Okay, we can do that. We can go hang out with my grandma. She does that.

[Scuba Steve]

God, I would love to do that.

[Morgan]

All right, Michelle. Apple Valley. She said yes. My two faves are back. Everything is right again.

[Scuba Steve]

Apple Valley, whatever. How you doing?

[Morgan]

And then we've got yes, my fave scoobs from Michelle. Not Michelle. I was looking at Michelle and Apple Valley.

[Scuba Steve]

Who's this from?

[Morgan]

From Nicole.

[Scuba Steve]

Nicole. Sorry. Nicole.

[Morgan]

Shout out. All right. How does it feel working in country music when you're more of a rock guy? Katie in Georgia?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, never. I mean, I don't mind country music because I listened to like, little bits of it here and there growing up as a kid, but it wasn't like my, oh, I can't wait to go to A country show or I can't wait to get in the car and turn on a country radio station. So. So for me it was never a thing. Like I know you love country music and you grew up on it. It was like a whole thing for you. Me was hip hop, pop rock. But I like everything though. Like I don't. I'm not a person that like is turned off by anything. Like I'll even listen to instrumentals or like Beethoven and weird crap or like TV show theme songs. Like I like everything.

[Morgan]

I'm the same way. I'm all of it.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I'm everywhere.

[Morgan]

I'm beside Screamo. That's where you get me.

[Scuba Steve]

I like Screamo and all that stuff. So I like everything. I just of a list countries at the very, very, very bottom. And so for me it was never. When I took this job, it wasn't about country. I took this job because of this, of the show that what it was needing and I. And I fulfilled or what do you what I'm looking for? I fit in with what was needed for the show at the time. I'm a fixer. I like to come in and fix things. And there were some systems that were in place that either didn't exist or needed some desperate help and needed some guidance and some, some assistance for the nicest way to put it. And so I had to come in and help fix the problems that never. That they just. They needed somebody that came from somewhere else and could give the knowledge. Sorry. I'm so distracted by a ring. It's a massive time. I haven't seen your ring and I look down, I'm like, holy crap. That's a freaking huge diamond.

[Morgan]

You haven't seen my ring.

[Scuba Steve]

I've seen it like in a picture, but I don't think I've ever seen it like in person.

[Morgan]

You want to see it?

[Scuba Steve]

You sit in another. You sit in another studio and I sit in the glass box of Ray and Abby. And so it's always far away. But like now you're like. You have your hand like it's almost like. Look at my ring wasn't dry. Huge. Oh my God.

[Morgan]

I thought it was just over here existing.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, well, I got seen Abby's cuz she's close to mine and hers is like modest and like normal and yours is like huge.

[Morgan]

I feel like mine's date te on the band and stuff.

[Scuba Steve]

Your hand's small, but that is. But the diamond's not everything.

[Morgan]

When we did go looking at rings, everything made my hand, everything looked Big on my hand because I have very little hands.

[Scuba Steve]

So maybe perspective wise, that could be like, a half carrot, but on your hand, it looks like four carats.

[Morgan]

No, I think. I think it's three carrots. Hold on.

[Scuba Steve]

I said four, and you're like, no, no. I was thinking, like, oh, no, it's one. I'm like, it's three, which is basically four. You could be all bashful and shy, but. Holy crap, that's a huge ring.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I wasn't. I literally was just sitting. I had to hold on because I. I fall down in chairs a lot.

[Scuba Steve]

You fall down because your hand weighs so much now because you got four carrots on your hand.

[Morgan]

Short and little and, like, cr.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. That's a really nice ring.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Scuba Steve]

I completely forgot what I was talking about, because that thing is, like, massive.

[Morgan]

Okay. You did. You are more of a rock guy, I guess. There it is.

[Scuba Steve]

Holy crap. Anyone else reacted the way I have when they saw, like, Jesus Christ, Morgan.

[Morgan]

No, I mean, it weighs more than you. Nice. She pretty. He did really good.

[Scuba Steve]

It's awesome. I think it's great that you should never feel bad or bashful or weird about it. Like, that's. That's amazing. The fact that, you know, that you got that. That's awesome. We bought our ring at Costco. It was, like, a half a car, but we were also, like, hella broke. I was, like, 24 or 5 or whatever when I got it. That's a massive ring. Holy crap. That's like, JLO status for sure.

[Morgan]

Jlo is, like, 20 carats.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I know, but, like, in our world, it's like, perspective. It's JLO status.

[Morgan]

Yeah, no, he did really good. I really.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, he did so. I was so thrown off. Like, whoa. I kept looking at your hand, like, jesus, that's a huge ring. Good for him, dude. He's awesome. Like, how much would you spend? I don't know. Like, a whole year's salary.

[Morgan]

He had been saving for a while.

[Scuba Steve]

I could tell. Yeah, he has. Yeah, he really has. He's been saving for a while.

[Morgan]

Oh, my goodness. And Nita wants to know how many radio shows are you on?

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, man. Not as many carrots as Morgan has.

[Morgan]

Are you done? I didn't even bring up anything about it.

[Scuba Steve]

No, but you couldn't because, like, your hand is, like, wobbling, wafting around in.

[Morgan]

The air, and it's, like, sitting on my laptop.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, but, like, you can barely hold your hand up. Like, it weighs so much. That is an awesome ring. Okay, sorry, sorry. I Know, I'm making you, like, a bashful. Like, you shouldn't be embarrassed by it. You shouldn't be bashful. It's a. No. It's because every awesome ring.

[Morgan]

It's not you. It's that everybody loves to have 80 million opinions on everything.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

On the Internet.

[Scuba Steve]

My opinion is it's awesome.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Scuba Steve]

It's amazing. You should be like. Like, that's a nice ring.

[Morgan]

He did really good.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, he did, like. Now, how do you, like, top that with the band? Like. Because usually, like, I feel like, from, like, for us, like, the engagement ring was, like, kind of like. It was nice. It was fine. We got it at Costco. We were. We went to the actual Costco. Number one. Oh, Kirkland. Kirkland. Kirkland, Washington. Which is why everything's Kirkland.

[Morgan]

Oh, God, I did not realize that.

[Scuba Steve]

So it's in Kirkland, Washington. And we both were, like, massive. She'd been going to Costco since she was, like, a child. So, like, oh, my God, be so cool. And we're like, she just buy me a ring at Costco. Because Costco also doesn't mark up their stuff when it comes to diamonds and jewelry. They kind of are at where they should be, almost a dealer price. And she's like, just buy whatever ring. And then when we get married, though, I want really nice bands. So the bands that I got her, I got her two bands that go on each side. The bands cost, like, way more than the actual engagement ring, which I'm sure at some point down the line when we're older and have a ton of money, like you and your boyfriend or fiance, I'll upgrade her diamond in the middle.

[Morgan]

You're a mess.

[Scuba Steve]

One day when I'm you.

[Morgan]

That's not true. You also have how many kids?

[Scuba Steve]

I have three kids. Yeah, back then I did know, but I also was like. I was like. I worked in San Francisco and I got paid nothing. Like, I paid, like.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you were also in your 20s. We're in our 30s.

[Scuba Steve]

Exactly.

[Morgan]

Life's a lot different.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm just giving you a hard time. No, honestly, like, on the real real. Who cares what anyone says about it? If you like it, that's important. If he's proud of. Of giving that to you, that's another thing. And you guys are happy as a. It's like, what anyone can say whatever they want f them. They're not your relationship. They're not you. Who cares what they say, what they think? You like it. It makes you happy. I saw. Even though I called it out. It's still. You still smiled because, you know, it's a nice ring. It is.

[Morgan]

It's really pretty.

[Scuba Steve]

So screw anyone else and what they think and their idea of it because. Because you like it and that's all that matters. But, God, even when you hold it down, it's like a lizard hanging on your hand.

[Morgan]

It's so huge, you know? It's funny though, I did tell him one stipulation, which is. Which is why he was saving, like, early on. I'm. I'm not shy about financial stu. My parents really, like, ingrained a lot of, like, financial conversations in me.

[Scuba Steve]

You should.

[Morgan]

Though very much a resource I was thankful for. And they. Like when we were early in dating and even the conversation talking about marriage, I was like, it's very important to me that I do not go in debt for a wedding. I do not go. You don't go in debt for buying a ring. Like, there it. Nothing is worth going into debt to me. That's always the case. So that was like my stipulation with. With him whenever he was going to propose, if he wanted to propose. Like, as those real conversations started happening, especially when we were looking at rings, I was like, you're not going into debt to get me something. That's not how this is gonna work. Like, I don't want that. I want us to be happy. I want this to be something that you love, that you create, that you think, like, symbolizes our relationship and the love that we have for each other. And if you go into debts, it's not worth it to me. At the end of the day, it isn't. And so he didn't. And unbeknownst to me, before we even went ring shopping, he was saving, and he was already planning for that to come. But it was. That was a very, very big conversation we had. Because I just don't. I'm still that way. Even, like, wedding planning. I don't. I don't want a big wedding. I want a small. I would elope if our parents wouldn't be angry. So I can't.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. They want to be part of it. Yeah. Yeah. Are you traditionalist, where, like, your. Your dad pays for it kind of thing or how's that gonna work?

[Morgan]

That's the other thing is, like, I've been saving because I don't want my. My parents to be okay.

[Scuba Steve]

That's cool.

[Morgan]

I just don't like. I. And I. But I also just don't want to spend insane amounts of money anyway. Like, so I. I want Us to get married in the mountains. Very small. Like maybe just a family only type ceremony and then have a party here or something. But I'm just not. None of that like I see people spending insane amounts of money and it blows my mind.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. It really. Yeah. Like a friend of mine, he got married kind of like the mountains. It was Big Sur so over there on the California coast. But it was only. It was like a really small. It was like 20, 30 people. It was like his like really, really, really good friends and family and that was it. And we all stayed in little cabins on. In Big Sur. Ridge Point. I forget what it's called, but it was so cool. And I mean it costs a little bit of money. Wasn't. Wasn't cheap.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

But it also wasn't like a hundred thousand dollars if he would have invited his entire group of friends and family and stuff.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So. Yeah. And it was beautiful and it was intimate and it was in the mountains. It was so cool and. Yeah. Yeah. I recommend you do something that. That you want to do, not what society wants you to do.

[Morgan]

I know. And it's hard. Heck, you even look at venues and they're. It's $20,000 to run a venue.

[Scuba Steve]

Just a venue. Yeah.

[Morgan]

And I just. That's ins. There's beautiful nature everywhere. What are we doing?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

No, I stopped doing that because I was then focused on the rock thing. It was good to kind of like. It was like a way to get me back into doing solo radio. So it was great. It was fun. The music was so much fun. It was 90s pop rock alternative. So it was a fun station. It got my chops back going and doing radio again. But I did it for like six months and then maybe four, five months. I don't know, it wasn't that long. And then I started working towards this rock thing because of the IHear 90s. But I don't have time to do multiple, you know.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Different kinds of shows.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You got two already.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, two's enough. And I'm working on making that rock show be in other Markets with just that. So that's the goal of taking that one show and expanding it into other places.

[Morgan]

I believe in you.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Morgan]

Laura in Albuquerque wants to know, how did you come to be on the Bobby Bone Show?

[Scuba Steve]

I came to be. So I was the shorthand version of it. I was in LA working with Ryan Seacrest, and one day I was at an event called Wango Tango, which is. It was local, but it was the first year it was national. And so one of my other jobs, I guess going back to the last question, not a show, but one of my other jobs is I go and do all our company's tentpole events. So, like, Alter Ego is just there recently for. In la, it's like the rock show. We go to Country Fest because of where I'm at now. I do Fiesta Latina in Miami, which is like the. The Latin pop big show. We do the festival in Vegas. What else is there? There's the iHeart awards that come up every year in LA. So I also am part of that broadcast team where we do the behind the scenes interviews and put that whole thing together. And so I was at Wango Tango and doing that. It was the first year it was a national show, so I was working there and working with Seacrest, and I was talking to some people that I work with in management at Premier, and I was like, hey, you know, just. I think I'm, you know, I want another. I'm looking for something else in the company. Like, I love this job. Working with Ryan's freaking amazing. It's. It's so surreal to have to have Ryan Seacrest know who I am and, like, talk to me like, oh, my God, this is freaking Ryan. It's Ryan Seacrest. But then eventually becomes like, he just. He's just Ryan. But it's still a little bit in your back of my, like, oh, my God, this is Ryan Seacrest talking to me right now. So I didn't. I didn't want to think, like, I was ungrateful for the opportunity, but I was like, I want, like, more responsibility. I wanted. I wanted, like, the next step. I've always, always been that way in my career of, like, I want more. I want more. I want to keep moving up the ladder and. And do whatever. And then also, I just had our first kid and we're living in LA and we live in a townhouse in the Valley and there's no yard. And I feel, like, guilty, you know, raising my kid without some sort of space. And I knew I wanted more kids. And I know I couldn't afford more kids in LA just because the cost of living was so high. I got paid nice. I had a good salary. My wife had a good salary. She was working. The toughest part was she just got a cool job because I told her she left finance. And I was like, you should. We live in la, dude. Get, like, a fun entertainment job. You know, we live here. I don't know how long we're gonna live here for, but get, like, a cool, fun job. And so she went and applied for a job at Universal, and she worked with the executive that handled toys and branding, which is, like, the coolest one. So it's all, like. She got a lot of, like, the prototype toys of when they were coming out with Drastic. This is back when Jurassic World was about to come out. So she'd come home with all these cool prototyp toys, and. And she got to work on the Universal a lot, her boss. It was, like, a really cool experience. And I felt bad because, like, four or five months into it, I was like, hey, so you know how we talked about, like, getting a new job or a different job? She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, well, I. I think I got it. And it's in Nashville. And she's like, oh, my God, Nashville. So we have to move. And I was like, yeah. And she just got this job, and she liked her boss and her boss loved her. And I felt bad. I was like, but I have to take it, though, because I know you see you like this, and you seem really happy. And she's like, no, no, no, no. She's like, we want to build a family and do more. Let's go for it. And even in that moment, they were like, it was either New York or Nashville. And I was. I'll take whatever. But New York would have maybe not been the best because it wouldn't have checked the family box. You're in the city, I guess, unless we moved to Jersey or something. But I would have made it work. But then Nashville just seemed, I guess, made more sense for us. And I was like, let's explore the Nashville one. Like, all right, cool. Sweet. And they're like, it's for a guy named Bobby Bones. I'm like, I don't. Yeah, I don't really know. I was like, I just want to move somewhere. And they're all, right, cool, whatever. So then I came out here, and I think you were here, right? Yeah. And I came out here that one time. Yeah. Well, I first met them, I Met somebody somewhere. I forget where. I think it was Bobby somewhere. And then I came out here and met you guys. And then I hung out for like a day or two, and then I flew out. And then. Then I saw Bobby. That festival of 2019 in September. He goes, I guess we're dating now. I was like, what? And I was like. And then I was like, oh, I guess. And then he was like, yeah, I think it's gonna happen. I was like, all right, cool. Sweet. And then I was like, all right, this is great. It was nice to me. He's like, we should follow each other.

[Morgan]

That's how you found out we should.

[Scuba Steve]

Follow each other on Twitter? And I was like, okay. And so we follow each other on Twitter. And that was how the relationship started.

[Morgan]

That's funny.

[Scuba Steve]

So, yeah, it was like one of those things where I just was looking for something else and looking for more. More of a challenge. And they explained what the show needed, and I was like, oh, it's a fun challenge. I wanna be able to come in there and work on that and do that. And Nashville, I never knew anything about it. I spent less than 48 hours here. This is pretty cool. It's a smaller city, but it seems like it's up and coming. And I was like, this is. I could see myself living out here. Cost of living was way cheaper than la, so it just made sense. And so, yeah, we moved out here. Here we are six years later, now.

[Morgan]

You're still here. Well, speaking of before. And we're gonna do this quickly before we go into the break.

[Scuba Steve]

All right.

[Morgan]

What do you miss about California? Vanessa from Monterey.

[Scuba Steve]

[Morgan]

Yeah. I ass. Assume she just says Monterey.

You're right on the ocean. Like, you're. That's the biggest thing is the ocean. Yeah, I miss the ocean. I miss being near my wife's family because we had. We had help, which was nice because we have, you know, having kids takes a village. And right now we're all by ourselves. So I did a top three. It'd be almost two Top four ocean, being near family, recreational marijuana and access to like everything. You can do and see anything and everything in California. Whereas most states don't have the luxury for of the restaurants, theme parks, entertainment, I mean the venue, everything about California. It's just awesome. There's so much to do and see there.

And it features one of the most famous ads of all time.

[Scuba Steve]

An ad that really redefined what advertising was in the United States. The calculation was that there was some number of Americans who were ready for something different, who were ready for something that was counter to the culture, if you will.

[Morgan]

Mark and Tampa just got Universal Studios IOA passes. I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

Islands of Adventure.

[Morgan]

Okay, what are the top three rides and restaurant?

[Scuba Steve]

There is adventure, so I don't know. They had passes just for the specific park, though. I thought it was like, it looks.

[Morgan]

Like he got it for Universal Studios slot. He said Universal Studios slash Iowa. So he must have got Universal.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I think the Epic isn't part of the annual passes yet.

[Morgan]

I think it's becoming next year.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

With this year. I can't remember when they announced it, but it is in the next year, so.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, so I'll tell you my. If he's only looking for favorite rides that I. I guess I can give you my top three rides at Iowa and Universal Studios.

[Morgan]

Okay, so.

[Scuba Steve]

Because I used to have an annual pass when I lived in Orlando. It was 10 bucks a month when I had it. I'm sure he's paying way more than that now.

[Morgan]

Yeah, a lot more.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, a lot more. That was 20 2009. 2010, actually. No, it's 2007. Holy crap. My top three rides, IOA. One of them doesn't exist anymore. It was Dueling Dragons.

[Morgan]

Well, you can't tell them that one because it doesn't exist.

[Scuba Steve]

But. But now it exists at Epic. That. You said that there's that one ride.

[Morgan]

Stardust racers.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. Yes. So yeah, that was my favorite ride with dueling dragons. It was the coolest thing ever. Yet your feet were dang. And I would always. I wore sandals all the time back then, so it was the coolest thing ever. Cuz I took my sandals off, I sat on my sandals and now I'm barefoot riding a ride. It was like so liberating to be barefoot on a roller coaster.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

So I love that ride. I also love. My second favorite would have to probably be Hulk. Oh, I love Hulk. Hulk. Do you ride that one where it shoots you off?

[Morgan]

Do you think I rode a roller coaster like that?

[Scuba Steve]

When I though you should just, just, just do it.

[Morgan]

No, I. One, I would vomit. Two, I'd cry. Three, I'd probably get vertigo again.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

All three no reasons.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Nav Green]

All right.

[Scuba Steve]

So Hulk was number two for me. It was the best part ever. You get in that tunnel. I was like, I think it's. I think it's gonna work. Warning. Warning. No, no. And all of a sudden it like it would just out of nowhere, you're out the tunnel and you're rolling around. And that was so much fun. Did you.

[Morgan]

Do you like Velocicoaster?

[Scuba Steve]

I had. I had never ridden it. It wasn't. I lived there.

[Morgan]

Velocicoaster is going to change your life when you get to ride it.

[Scuba Steve]

So you wrote Velocicoaster. It's.

[Morgan]

It's all. Everybody who I've gone with, it's their favorite one.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Because it's insane.

[Scuba Steve]

That looks, looks really cool. I haven't read it. Yeah, I have plans. I have plans to go. I will be going end of March, beginning of April.

[Morgan]

Okay. Yeah. Then you have to. Then you have to ride velocity.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I mean my fiancee wrote it five times in a row.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh wow. Okay.

[Morgan]

Because he could go by himself because I wouldn't go. So he just go the individual rider line. He'd get off. And I'm like, I'm still chilling. Go for it. He just went back up and did it again. And he come down so geeked out. And he's like. I was like still chilling. Go for it again.

[Scuba Steve]

Go again, dude. Okay. Yeah. I can't wait to ride that one. And then so my number three, man, it's tough. Cuz I really like. I like Jurassic park cuz it has that fun 90 foot drop or 60 foot drop, whatever it is in the end. Did you ride that one? But now it's Jurassic World. So I need to see it now because it's different. But I think my third favorite IOA has got to be Dudley D. Wright's Ripsaw Falls. Did you ride that? It's the water log ride.

[Morgan]

No, right next to Jurassic World. Any of the water ones.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, okay.

[Morgan]

At Universal we did at Disney, but we didn't at Universal.

[Scuba Steve]

But that was at Universal. That was the Islands of adventure though. Yeah, we Universal in general. You around water rides. Okay. That one's a fun one. That's the one. It's almost like Splash Mountain, their version of it. Cuz at the end it has like, you get out and it's like whoa. And a big drop at the end. You go down, you get soaked the whole time. We used to ride that during Halloween Horror nights. Cuz no one would ride that cuz it's nighttime and you get soaked and no one wants to get soaked at the park. But we had frequent fear passes, which. Which basically was an annual pass for Halloween Horror nights. So we'd go like three times a week. And then we'd go there one day just to ride that. So we went there knowing we're gonna get wet and we'd ride it over and over.

[Morgan]

Then you can plan for it. That makes that a lot more fun too.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, we know, we know that's what we're doing. Then when we leave, we don't care because we're gonna go back in my truck soaked. It doesn't matter because we know that's what we're doing. And then one time we wrote it over and over and over and over and over and over. And I had to pee and. And.

[Morgan]

Did you just pee?

[Scuba Steve]

I had to pee and. And we were. It was like our seventh or eighth time riding it and no one else. Dude, I gotta pee. And they're like like well we don't. We're gonna ride it again. Cuz it was like a zero minute wait. We're running back on to go ride it. And I was like, well, I really have to go. And it's. And it's a ride where you're. It's a. It's a log ride. And so it's like. I think it's like four people on a ride. And I was in the back and so it was me in the back, my friend Lee in front of me and then Drew and Brent and so I was like, I had to pee and I couldn't hold it anymore. And I'm like, well we are so wet right now.

[Morgan]

There's no ride.

[Scuba Steve]

There's no way that they're gonna know that it's either my pee or the water from around the ride splashing you. So I remember we were going down the Big Drop, and I was like, all right. I just let it go and I sat back and I peed all over Lee.

[Morgan]

No, you did not.

[Scuba Steve]

I did. And we wrote like, three or four more times, which I was like, let's ride it some more times. Like, I thought you had to go pee. I was like, no, no, I'm good. But I want to write it more times so I can. Like, so I could. So I could clean me, because I just peed. I forgot about that.

[Morgan]

That's bad.

[Scuba Steve]

That's really bad. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

He probably thought all those years ago that he smelled pee and he just was, like, crazy or something.

[Scuba Steve]

Water is hot on this ride. It's been cold the whole time. Warm. Yeah. What the hell is happening here? Yeah, really weird. And then. And then my favorite spot to eat in there was a place right when you walk into islands of adventure, you get to. So you walk straight in and you get to, like, that tea in the row where you can go to the left, which takes you to Marvel Universe, where it's got Hulk and all that. Or you can go to the right and it goes to Dr. Seuss Land and all that over there.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. So there's walking through Dr. Seuss land. When I was at Universal, it was pouring rain and I had ran because my family was riding the roller coasters and I didn't want to. So I ran to go to Spider Man. I wanted to do Spider Man.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. That's a fun ride, too.

[Morgan]

It is. I loved Spider Man. And I got out of there and it was pouring down rain, so it was like a zombie apocalypse. Nobody was there or they were running around. And I was in Dr. Seuss land, and I didn't. This is my first time ever in the park.

[Nav Green]

Park.

[Morgan]

I was trying to get back to my family in the pouring rain, and I was in Dr. Seuss land. I thought I was on drugs.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, yeah. Because it's trippy.

[Morgan]

Oh, it was so trippy. And it was raining and nobody was around, and I had no idea where I was going. I got lost in Dr. Seuss Lane, like, three times just doing the same lap. And I was like, what is going on?

[Scuba Steve]

I want to get out of here. It feels like Groundhog Day.

[Morgan]

It literally was that. So that's my memory of Dr. Seuss world.

[Scuba Steve]

It's a cool spot. And even during Hollywood horror nights, because they like the way they light things in there. It's so trippy and so cool. But right before you walk into there, on the right hand side, there's a place called Something Cantina. Now it's like a hidden gym. Like no one ever. Even though it's right there in the main walkway, I feel like nobody ever went in there. And it was the best place to go, especially for a drink because they have a bar right there that. And you can grab a drink and you can sit there and like watch Hulk and see all that stuff. I think that's really cool.

[Morgan]

I like that one.

[Scuba Steve]

Not the best food, but it's a great. It's okay food. But it was the, the atmosphere and the drinks and the accessibility to get to a bar right there and. And watch the park. I think it's kind of cool. Okay, so I like that, I like that. Those. And then so for you, what were your top three at Island's Adventure?

[Morgan]

Well, and I. I'll just put them all into one.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

But definitely the. What was it called? Motorbike. Hagrid's.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, Hagrid's. I've never written that either. That's new.

[Morgan]

Yes. Yeah, Hagrids you'll love. That's definitely my number one. And I would say then Harry Potter the escape at Grin Gringotts is number two.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. I've been on that.

[Morgan]

Very Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter at Universal. Like just go spend the whole day.

[Scuba Steve]

There's.

[Morgan]

And then three. I think my third one was. What. What was that place? And why can't I think of it now? I really do. Like Spider Man. No, Transformers.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, Transformers. I didn't. That wasn't there either when I was there, I don't think.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's like a 3D ride.

[Scuba Steve]

Just like Spider man, right?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Scuba Steve]

Same kind of concept.

[Morgan]

And I freaking love Transformers. So I was geeking out in there and I got to meet Bumblebee and Optimus. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, they have a Transformers at the one in la and I've been on that one.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

It's the same thing where you're in the car with the glasses, screens, things.

[Morgan]

Like you're getting like thrown around.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. And water and the Whole40 effect.

[Narrator]

Yes.

[Scuba Steve]

That one's fun. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So I'd say that's my third one. And then I do honorable mention, the Jurassic coaster because everybody loves it. I can't see from experience, but you have to ride it. If you're a. If you're got passes, you have to do it.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And then restaurant wise, I love Three Broomsticks. In Harry Potter, they have a bomb breakfast thing, which you can't normally find breakfast in the park, but we did there, and that one was really cool. And then I think that's about it. Because I'm definitely more a Disney food girl than I am a Universal food girl.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Universal has stepped it up a little bit recently with their food. I know for back when I was living there, it was like Universal wasn't. You didn't go there for the food. You went there to drink and ride rides. And Disney was like the food. It was the foodie food theming of it and everything.

[Morgan]

Speaking of, Janelle in Florida wants to know the theme park would you want to visit you've never been to before?

[Scuba Steve]

I've never been to before. Before I get to her. My top three of Universal, I'll go really fast. Oh, yeah, the main park.

[Morgan]

I don't know why I thought you put them all together.

[Scuba Steve]

I divided it because you can't put them. The fact that together is blasphemy. You have to separate the two parks.

[Morgan]

Sorry.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, yeah. Okay. So the Universal. Main Universal. I'm gonna go mostly old school. Number one is E.T. oh, my God, it is so cool. And I hope they never, ever, ever change it. You can't. You just can't touch that one. That one's amazing. I love E.T. i love Men in Black as number two. Men in Black is so badass because it's a fun, like, shooting ride and I've great memories of it. Men in Black is so much fun. And when he says, don't touch the red button. Touch the red button.

[Morgan]

I touch the red button.

[Scuba Steve]

Because you get a million points or 100,000 points or whatever it is. So definitely touch the red button. That's a little hack there for you. And the other hack is definitely make sure you shoot the things on top of the other person's ride. So you'll notice on your car and every car around you at the very top, there's like this like almost like a Q tip looking thing. It's got like a rod and like a circle on of the top and there's a red circle that like flashes. And if you shoot that, you get a lot of different points. And when you shoot their car and you hit it right in the middle, their car spins around and does 360s, which is kind of cool.

[Morgan]

Funny. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

And then my third favorite at Universal, man, it's. It's got to be Mummy. Mummy is.

[Morgan]

So you didn't choose a single Harry Potter ride?

[Scuba Steve]

No, Harry Potter wasn't there. When I went to Universal, really, Harry Potter didn't exist. Harry Potter was just coming out as a movie for the first time ever when I went to Universal.

[Morgan]

Okay. Growing up, up, you're gonna have a wildly life changing experience because you like Harry Potter.

[Scuba Steve]

I love Harry Potter.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you're gonna, it's gonna change your. After you have visited again. I'm gonna need your updated list.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. All right. Yeah, I'll let you know. Come after April, some more information. And then the best food at Universal, man. I think the, the pizza spot. So it's over there where they did a lot of filming. All that was filmed like the whole, all that intro was filmed in like that city looking area by Mummy. There's a pizza spot. If you're looking at Mummy, to the right there's a pizza joint. And that pizza, from what I remember, was like the best pizza ever. It was so freaking delicious.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

So good.

[Morgan]

Okay, now to.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, next question.

[Morgan]

What theme park would you want to visit that you've never been to before?

[Scuba Steve]

I've never been to before. I really want to go to. I've seen it on Instagram only. It's the Warner Brothers park over in Dubai. It's all indoors, which is like so intriguing to me that it's an indoor theme park. So I would say that will be number one on the list. But it's like tied with the one inside Mall of America. The Nickelodeon universe.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You've had, you've wanted to go there for a while.

[Scuba Steve]

Forever for. Since I was a kid. So I think it's between the Warner Brothers in Dubai and Nick Universe at Mall of America would be the two I haven't been to that I want to check.

[Morgan]

One of those is going to be really easy for you to get to.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. The Mall of America.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Dubai. It's a little bit of a hike.

[Morgan]

It's going to take you a while.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, exactly. And it's hell of expensive.

[Morgan]

One of them you can get there pretty quickly. You can just pop on a little flight this weekend and go.

[Scuba Steve]

I could, but I have a family to attend.

[Morgan]

So bring them with you.

[Scuba Steve]

Just get up and go. But then it costs more money. I can't do that.

[Morgan]

It's true. I want to go to Disney in Japan.

[Scuba Steve]

That's cool. Yeah, that'd be fun to see like the Disney's across the world.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah. The Japan one looks crazy.

[Nav Green]

So.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. And they're adding the Zoo Topia land there, I think.

[Narrator]

Right.

[Scuba Steve]

Looks so freaking cool.

[Morgan]

I just want to go To Japan.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, that'd be. And it's cheaper there. I think it's like 50 bucks to get in.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

My friend just went there. He did a whole Japan trip by himself, and he spent, like, a couple thousand bucks with flight transportation while he's there. Food, the tickets to Japan for the Disneyland there. It was like nothing. It was like 50, $55. It's like everything that you buy there is also affordable. I was like, why is it that there but not here?

[Morgan]

Right.

[Scuba Steve]

I don't understand that.

[Morgan]

Oh, okay. Well, we're gonna end because I. I had some more questions, but we went on a little tangent earlier.

[Scuba Steve]

Went through a few tangents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ring tangent.

[Morgan]

Oh, my goodness. Okay. Well, Scuba, thanks for coming on, hanging out with us.

[Scuba Steve]

I appreciate it.

[Morgan]

Not. Thank you for all the comments. I'm sure I'm about to get online.

[Scuba Steve]

Screw them. Fm. As. As my dad would say.

[Morgan]

Yeah, something like that. Okay. You can find Scuba Steve at Scuba Steve Radio pretty much everywhere.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, not pretty much everywhere, because I'm not on MySpace anymore. You're on Twitter. I'm on Twitter. You're right. Yeah.

[Morgan]

You're on TikTok, and you're on Instagram.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm not on Snapchat. I'm not on Be Real.

[Morgan]

You're not on Facebook.

[Scuba Steve]

Is Be Real still a thing?

[Morgan]

No.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Morgan]

It might still exist, but a thing. And the fact that a lot of people use it. No.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Everyone's like, it'll be the next greatest thing. I was like, this seems a lot like every other platform where you're just taking pictures of stuff.

[Morgan]

Listen, it's all. It's always a. This is going to be a thing until it's not, so. And that. It did have a moment. It had a moment there for a while, and I think. I do think it still exists. And I think there's college kids that use it. I think that's really where it's at.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, wow.

[Nav Green]

Mm.

[Morgan]

But also, Snapchat has kind of had a little comeback, too, so I don't know if they're competing or what that looks like. I need to speak to some college kids.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, yeah. It's like, way down the totem pole.

[Nav Green]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

No one cares about it, but everywhere else, he's on.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I am. Yeah. Everywhere else. Yeah.

[Nav Green]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Everywhere but on.
