2. Listener Feedback and Show Consistency

3. Scuba Steve’s 5-Year Career Plan

• Scuba Steve describes his balancing act:
  • Family stability is a priority.
  • Aspires for his wife to eventually be able to work less and focus on home if desired.
  • He wants his independent show to eventually be the main source of income, flipping his current "70/30 rule":

    "Right now my 70% is this job working with Bobby and you guys, but my 30% is my own show. Eventually, the goal is to flip that…" (05:26)

• He describes rapid progress within radio, moving to afternoons, with hopes for wider syndication and prominence in the rock market:

  “Went from nights to afternoons in less than two months… the goal is to then make afternoons into more markets and then syndicated and all the things. And rule the rock market.” (06:22)

4. Behind the Scenes: HR at the Show

• A listener from El Paso asks if HR ever gets involved with the show.
• Scuba reveals HR has never intervened in internal show matters but occasionally due to external listener incidents.

5. Rock Show Reach & Enjoyment

  “It goes all the way north into Kentucky, it goes south into Alabama… east towards Chattanooga and then west towards Memphis.” (08:47)

• They reflect on work ethic with a misquoted but meaningful takeaway:

  Morgan uncovers the full Roosevelt quote, furthering the theme of perseverance.

6. Being a Girl Dad: Reflections and Impact

• Listener Paul from Texas asks about being a girl dad. Scuba gets reflective:
  • He discusses the unique responsibility, citing how a father’s voice and actions leave a deep imprint on daughters:

    “The father is the voice that the daughter will always hear… whatever we instill… it lives with them forever… it’s how you treat your daughter is how they will then expect to be treated when they are dating.” (10:15)

  • He’s particularly mindful because of his own childhood without a father, driving him to be “a little bit more over the top” in involvement.
  • Shares adorable anecdotes—especially the special bond with his middle daughter, his “little bee boop.” (11:43)
• Morgan draws parallels to her own childhood, highlighting dynamics between mothers and daughters and the invaluable role fathers play in fostering independence.

7. Foodie Talk: Favorite Places to Eat

  • Favorites include Creation, Black Cat (a jazz bar that’s still open), and Kingdom of Dumpling (also still running, to relief).
  • Laments the closing of HRD, a beloved sandwich shop.

  “The soup dumplings. Oh my gosh. The frickin’ best.” (23:46)

8. Shoes & Nostalgia

• Tim in Colorado inquires about Scuba's sneaker collection.
  • Scuba confirms he’s on a shoe-buying hiatus at his wife’s request, but dreams of acquiring classic ‘96 Jason Kidd Uptempos and Olympic Penny Hardaways.
  • Talks about 1990s sneaker culture, the stigma of “off brand” shoes, and the transformation of Walmart’s apparel.

  “We would get sucked. I didn’t love it because then you would wear these like, bunk ass shack shoes or Hakeema Lodge ones… and then you get your butt kicked for wearing stupid shoes.” (25:40)

9. Cannabis Culture: Vapes, Tinctures & Terminology

• Sarah from Tennessee asks about Mellow Fellow Vapes/tinctures.
  • Scuba prefers flower (the plant/buds) over tinctures or vapes, as the latter make him sneeze.
  • He clarifies terminology for Morgan, who endearingly confuses “flower/flour.”

  “Flower is like the term for… the bud… what you pick, dry, and smoke. I’m more of a smoker than anything.” (29:08)

• They explore the “shotgun” move (both a beer and cannabis term), leading to college party stories and a few laughs:

  “The move is always… you wanna shotgun?... You take a blunt or joint and you blow the smoke into someone’s face… and you might catch a kiss.” (30:22)

• The duo gleefully recall party tricks—including Morgan’s talent for shotgunning beers and keg stands, sharing a memorable faceplant story from Scuba’s past.

Best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Morgan]

It's Listener Q and A Time, where.

[Scuba Steve]

Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions.

[Morgan]

Listener Q and A time. What's up, scuba?

[Scuba Steve]

Hey, what's.

[Morgan]

I told him to raise his hand if he ever needed to go to the bathroom or unpause or anything. And you know what he does? He raises his hand right when I start.

[Scuba Steve]

You remember, like, when you were at school, you'd put your hand up and you see that one kid who's like, got his hand up and then he's sitting on his other hand, he's like, oh, oh, over here, over here. Oh, I know the answer. Oh, I have to go bathroom.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, yeah. I was a kid, if I had to go bathroom, I didn't even ask for it. I just. I have to go bathroom and I just would leave you.

[Morgan]

Just peace out.

[Scuba Steve]

Just peace out.

[Morgan]

Dang. I wasn't that rebellious. I thought I was pretty bad, but you take the cake.

[Scuba Steve]

I didn't care. And I had the respect of everyone as far as teachers go, so it was like, if I was going to the bathroom, I had to go to the bathroom, so whatever. Or they had. I had some kids who would go to the bathroom and they would have sex with some girl. That would happen a lot.

[Morgan]

That took a really dark. How old were you?

[Scuba Steve]

High school.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I remember these two.

[Morgan]

I thought you were thinking, like, middle school or something.

[Scuba Steve]

I was like, not high school.

[Morgan]

Okay. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, the bathrooms are pretty gross there. My high school, that's public school. You're a private school girl anyways.

[Morgan]

No, I was a public school.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. None of that weird stuff happened to your privates or public school.

[Morgan]

I didn't spend a lot of time in the bathroom, if I'm being honest.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, well, you knew when. When one kid had to go to the bathroom and then 10 seconds later another kid had to go to the bathroom, and then 10 seconds later, this girl had to go to the bathroom and they all came back together a little sweaty and messy. You knew what was going on in the bathroom.

[Morgan]

I don't think that was happening in our public restroom. Can't say that I recall that one. Okay. I love, love, love when Scuba is on. That's from Pebbles in Oregon. Pebbles, you know, Michelle and Apple Valley.

[Scuba Steve]

Apple Valley.

[Morgan]

She loves it. But she said my podcast with my boyfriend might have taken the cake.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. Over you.

[Morgan]

I don't know though. She was in between. She's like. But it's up there with them. So.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. At least with mine there's consistency. You will get me at least every six.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You'll always get to hear from you.

[Scuba Steve]

Totally. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Which boyfriend of mine might be a tour off and may never happen again.

[Scuba Steve]

Totally.

[Morgan]

Or it could happen all the time.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Or yeah, it becomes a co host like Mike and his wife.

[Morgan]

Who knows? What is your five year career plan, Amy in Mississippi?

[Scuba Steve]

Amy, I love that everyone is saying their name and where they are from.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they got you.

[Scuba Steve]

I appreciate that. This also kind of lets me know where everyone's at, geographically located and where they're listening from. My five year plan is to personally, professionally or both or just in general?

[Morgan]

I think in general.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay. Well, in general. Well, family obviously successful and everyone's good and they enjoy wherever they're at in school and life. My wife hopefully at that point could be either a stay at home mom or more of like a hybrid of less work and more helping out at the house. Which I think we're trying to balance that out at this moment because I'm working even more and she's still working. And then her. I mean, essentially being a mother is a full time job as well, because you're having to take him to school and pick him up and do all that stuff until I get home. Be nice for her, not have to have to work. Because right now we need the financial assistance of two paychecks. But it'd be great if they always say, what is it the 3070 rule or 7030 rule, where your bread and butter is something that pays your bills, but there's that 30% that you really enjoy. And one day a 30% becomes your 70%. Yeah, exactly. Or your 100%. So right now my 70% is this job working with Bobby and you guys, but my 30% is my own show. And eventually the goal is to flip that to where my own show supports me and my family. So I can just have the. I can have the one and then it makes enough money to where my wife can just focus on the kids and maybe have like a side gig or something that she just really enjoys to make extra money for vacations and stuff. So that's the long. That's the five year plan. The five year plan is to flip the 30 into 100.

[Morgan]

I love that for you. And you're on your way. You're headed that direction.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Went from nights to afternoons in less than two months. And then now after having afternoons now for a couple weeks, the goal is to then make afternoons into more markets and then syndicated and all the things. And rule the rule, the rock market.

[Morgan]

Are you gonna try and stay in the afternoon? Is that your plan?

[Scuba Steve]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

I just kind of open to what happens.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. I'm not married to any particular. I. I always. I obviously want either mornings or afternoon drive. Mornings a little bit more difficult now because we're a morning show. But afternoon drive, I wouldn't mind that either if it was a nationally syndicated afternoon show. So I'm not going to pigeonhole myself into one or the other. But yeah, I definitely want to do like a syndicated midday show or a night show. There's just not the cum there for it. No one's that many listening. Not a big listening audience. Not as interactive on the phones and stuff. So I need something in drive time. So I don't care. Either one's fine.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Look at that. Amy, does HR ever get involved with the show? This is Carrie in El Paso, Texas.

[Scuba Steve]

I cannot say.

[Morgan]

I know. I saw that question and I was like, well, I don't really know that we can talk about that. But I mean, I think we're like any other job. HR's always part of the equation.

[Scuba Steve]

They've never gotten involved with personnel within the show, but they've gotten involved because of some crazy stuff that has happened with people outside the show that listen to the show that did something weird. Yeah, I'll just say that.

[Morgan]

Okay, I like it. That's a good answer. But we do have HR. Like, we do have actual HR. It's more correlated with iHeart, but that's still part of our company.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Back in the day, I don't know when you were working here if it was still a thing, but we used to have an HR person for every single cluster. We had one HR person.

[Morgan]

No, we did, too.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, cool. And then it became where they. Now they have just the one or a small group based in San Antonio or wherever they live.

[Morgan]

And they're all online?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, they're online. Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know they're real.

[Morgan]

Zoom in.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, they even real. The AI. What the hell is it? But I know we had one back in the day. It was awesome. In Orlando. Her name was Fran. She was sick.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we had a really good one in Wichita, too, when I worked there. I remember that. Are you enjoying doing the rock show? This is from Mary in Kentucky.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes, Mary in Kentucky. I'm enjoying. And by the way, in Kentucky, this radio station that I'm on has such a massive stick where it bleeds all the way into. Because I feel that. Listen to Kentucky and I'm like, oh, you're on the iHeart app. Like, Jen in west Kentucky calls often. She listens on the actual physical terrestrial radio because the station bleeds that far north.

[Morgan]

That's crazy.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. So it goes all the way north into Kentucky, it goes south into Alabama and it goes all the way east, like going towards Chattanooga and then west towards Memphis. It has, I think, within our. Either the company or. Or this area, it's the strongest radio station. So you can listen to it. She probably could listen to it where she's at.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So if you try to. Try to see if you can get on 105.9 in your area and then if you hear a rock station, then that's it.

[Morgan]

That's good to see.

[Scuba Steve]

From 3 to 7, 3 to 7pm Central. Yeah. Yeah. But yes, I'm enjoying it. I'm loving it. It's awesome. It's definitely a dream of mine to have my own show. And so being able to chase it and living in the moment, being present with it is pretty awesome. It's exhausting, but I know that it's paying off, so it's worth it.

[Morgan]

Anything worth having is. What's the saying? Anything worth having is going.

[Scuba Steve]

It's not easy.

[Morgan]

I can't remember. I only got the first half. If I'm being honest with you, it's like my brain just, like, died.

[Scuba Steve]

I think anything worth having isn't easy. I think it's what it is, is.

[Morgan]

Anything worth having isn't. Let's see what the quote is.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Because I built. Because they're always.

[Morgan]

Nothing in this world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain and difficulty. That's from Theodore Roosevelt. I knew there was a.

[Scuba Steve]

And I feel like it's been transformed over the years to basically the mindset of, like, if it's. If it's awesome and you love it, it's not going to be easy to. To obtain it and to maintain it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, anything worth having isn't easy.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's kind of the short version but mister Teddy.

[Scuba Steve]

Mister Teddy Roosevelt Theodore, what is your.

[Morgan]

Favorite part about being a girl dad? That's from Paul in Texas.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, gosh. There's a lot of scary things that I'm. For the future to come. I get so nervous because guys, you know, guys are, you know, I'm very well aware, and I have two girls, so it's like, oh, man. But my wife always sends me, like, these things on Instagram about how raising a daughter versus a son is completely different. And essentially that the father is the voice that the daughter will always hear in her head even. Because even later in life as an adult, whatever we instill in them or however we act or react or communicate any of that kind of stuff, it lives with them forever. And two ways. One, you were the voice in their head, but then also it's how you treat your daughter is how they will then expect to be treated when they are dating. So it's like. It's a lot. I feel like it's a very important role to play in this. And then also not having a father and then seeing my sisters not having a father and the struggle of that. So I'm a little bit more over the top of, like, I gotta be there, I gotta make sure I'm involved and all that. So, yeah, it's a really important role and scary. But I think the best part about it is knowing that whatever I say and do will leave a lasting impact. So that's pretty cool in the sense that I'm very conscious of how I act because of that. So I think that's really special. And then just my daughter, my middle daughter, she loves me. I call her my little bee. Boop. Beboop.

[Morgan]

Sounds like a Pixar character.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Yeah. She loves me so much. And the funny thing is she loves my wife, obviously. And she was our first daughter. And so my wife was. My wife was so excited when she was born, and I think for the first couple years, they had a special bond. But then when she hit two, like, I became the most important thing ever. And, like, there's things that my wife, she's, like, trying to get in the. Brush her teeth, and they won't brush their teeth. They can't. They won't do it. And I come up and they'll brush their teeth, and I'm like, oh, this is really cool.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, they love me and listen to.

[Morgan]

Me, you know, it was really funny. My relationship with my mom and dad was probably very similar, and my mom and I were so much alike. Yeah, that. That's often why I leaned more into my dad because he wasn't alike me. So I like, I listened to him better because listening to my mom was like listening to myself in a way.

[Scuba Steve]

He butt heads a little bit because of it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And so I do think there's some of that when it comes mother and daughter. Like you have a. Like I have a friendship with my mom that I could have never imagined and it's awesome. But I always did like when I was younger and as a kid I certainly listened to my dad better just because of that personality type.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's interesting how that works. So I wonder if that pans out for most mom, daughter and father son situations or father daughter situations.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Or if that's just like usual, like specific to every person. I'm sure it is a little bit. But yeah, I'm so curious to see how it pans out for you guys because that. The dad's little girl thing is very real.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I know, it really is. I never really saw that, but now I'm seeing. I'm like, oh, this is the thing. Yeah. And then even when she was born, I was like, oh, I love her. But like I didn't realize how much I was going to love her until like it all started to become a. I was like, whoa. She's like, she loves me so much and then I love her so much. Oh like she literally could be in my skin if she could.

[Morgan]

Yeah. That's a dad's little girl. She's like. And that's how she's gonna look at it for the rest of her life. And that's where that impact comes from. So. Yeah, just, you know, I mean my dad did all the right things. He. He raised me to be very self sufficient and very independent and super independent.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And to trust who I am and be. Be my own person. And I. You're like that scuba. So you're gonna instill that in your daughter.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I feel like I got. Yeah, I think that's huge because you attract the right people or the right person that you should be with through the independence. And anyone that is afraid of that or is against it, it's just insecure in themselves and is looking for a non. And they wanted. They say they want independent, but they really don't like the fact that you owned your own house, had your own car, paid your own bills. All that kind of stuff was I think is huge and eventually would attract the right person, which it has finally for you, which is awesome. You know?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So I Think. I think. I think that's huge. No, you're fine. It's not. It's a different text.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, not the text.

[Morgan]

It was waiting for a very specific yes.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But, yeah, no, it definitely was special. And I really credit my dad. My mom and dad both. They. They both play a huge role, but my dad very much instilled in me that independence, and I'm very grateful for that.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes. That's awesome.

[Morgan]

You know, you do all the right things. I have no doubt that she's gonna be an awesome kid, but I love hearing girl dads talk about their kids. It's one of my favorite things to hear about.

[Scuba Steve]

Totally. And then the little one, she's awesome, too, but she's still in that phase where she loves Mom a lot because she's two, but I could start to see her slowly swinging my way a little bit.

[Morgan]

You're like, I'm winning them both.

[Scuba Steve]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Morgan]

This is exciting.

[Scuba Steve]

Totally. And my son's kind of indifferent. He doesn't really care. He, like, he loves both of us, and. Cause he's seven now, he's just like. And he also knows where to go when he wants to get what he wants to get.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Well. And we didn't have any boys in the family, so I don't know how boys, like how that parent changes over time.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I'll be curious to know how that pans out, too, just over the course of their life.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Kids and parent relationships are so interesting to me. So maybe I'm weird, but I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

No, you're just human.

[Morgan]

All right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back. Betrayal Weekly is back for season two with brand new stories. The detective comes driving up fast and just, like, screeches right in the parking lot. I swear I'm not crazy, but I think he poisoned me. I feel trapped. My breathing changes.

[Scuba Steve]

More money, more money, more money.

[Nicole Garcia]

And I went white. I realized, wow. Like, he is not a mentor. He's pretty much a monster.

[Morgan]

New stories, new voices, and shocking manipulations. This didn't just happen to me.

[Scuba Steve]

It happened to hundreds of other people.

[Morgan]

But these aren't just stories of destruction. They're stories of survival, of people picking up the pieces and daring to tell the truth.

[Nicole Garcia]

I'm going to tell my story, and I'm going to hold my head up.

[Morgan]

Listen to Betrayal Weekly on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Simone Boyce]

Think back to the early 2000s.

[Morgan]

You're flipping through TV channels and then you hear this.

[Scuba Steve]

I was rooting for you.

[Morgan]

We were all rooting for you. How dare you learn something from this? But looking back 20 years later, that iconic show so many of us love is horrifying.

[Scuba Steve]

Robyn, first of all, is too old to be starting model.

[Morgan]

She's huge.

[Nicole Garcia]

I talked to cast, crew and producers.

[Morgan]

Who were there for some of the.

[Nicole Garcia]

Show'S most shocking moments.

[Morgan]

If you were so rooting for her.

[Nicole Garcia]

Why don't you help her with never before heard interviews? The Curse of America's Next Top Model examines why this show was so popular and where it all went wrong.

[Morgan]

We basically sold our souls and they got rich.

[Nicole Garcia]

Listen to the Curse of America's Next Top model on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It may look different, but Native culture is very alive. My name is Nicole Garcia, and on Burn Sage Burn Br, we aim to explore that culture.

[Morgan]

It was a huge honor to become a television writer because it does feel.

[Nicole Garcia]

Oddly like very traditional.

[Morgan]

It feels like Bob Dylan going electric, that this is something we've been doing for like hundreds of years. You carry with you a sense of purpose and confidence.

[Nicole Garcia]

That's Sierra Teller Ornelas, who with Rutherford Falls, became the first Native showrunner in television history. On the podcast Burn Sage, Burn Bridges, we explore her story along with other Native stories, such as the creation of the first Native Comic Con or the importance of reservation basketball. Every day, Native people are striving to keep traditions alive while navigating the modern world, influencing and bringing our culture into the mainstream. Listen to Burn Sage, Burn bridges on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Scott Barry Kaufman]

Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about exploring human potential. I was going to schools to try to teach kids these skills and I get eye rolling from teachers or I get students who would be like, it's easier to punch someone in the face. When you think about emotion regulation, like, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effort to use unless you think there's a good outcome as a result of it, if it's going to be beneficial to you because it's easy to say like, like you go blank yourself, right? It's easy. It's easy to just drink the extra beer. It's easy to ignore, to suppress seeing a colleague who's bothering you and just like, walk the other way. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denial is easier. Drinking is easier. Yelling, screaming is easy. Complex Problem solving, meditating, you know, takes effort.

[Scuba Steve]

Listen to the psychology podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Dr. J]

But the humility in knowing that life is this classroom that we should never graduate from is what is going to keep you growing and that's all that matters. World Mental Health Day is around the corner. And on my podcast, just heal with Dr. J, I dive into what it really means to care for your mind, body and spirit. From breaking generational patterns to building emotional capacity, healing is a journey and wholeness is the destination.

[Morgan]

I'm gonna walk away feeling very healed and feeling like, yes, I'm gonna continue my healing journey and I'm gonna get some keys from you.

[Dr. J]

Listen to just heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Morgan]

What is your favorite place to eat in the city? I need new places. This is from Nicole and Petaluma, California. So I'm assuming she's talking about California.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, in petaluma. Yeah. That's NorCal.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. In the city, man, I haven't eaten the city in a minute. I know there's a spot in east that we used to always go to that I love. It's not new anymore, but it was new several years ago. It's called Creation. And they have one in. She would know where this is at. They have one in Pittsburgh and they have one in like the downtown Pittsburgh area, which is really not Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but there's a Pittsburgh.

[Morgan]

Isn't that crazy how there's like as you're saying that I'm like, all I'm thinking is Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Yeah, it's kind of like how there's a Nashville, Indiana or Nashville, Illinois or something. And I'm like, there's so many major.

[Scuba Steve]

Cities, Manhattan, Kansas and Manhattan, New York. There's even a. There's even an Antioch in Tennessee. There's also an Antioch in California, which is where my wife's family is, out in that area, like the East Bay, Antioch, Concord and all that. It's weird. Yeah. How they have the same thing, but.

[Morgan]

Sorry, I derailed.

[Scuba Steve]

No, no, no. I even think this Pittsburgh is spelled differently from that. Pittsburgh. I believe one of them has like an H and one doesn't.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

What? Forget it. And who cares? I know Creation really good. I'm trying to think if there's a spot like in the Mission District. I always feel like there's some pretty baller ass restaurants. Let me look in the Mission of San Francisco.

[Morgan]

Mission district, Middle of Sam Sand.

[Scuba Steve]

But I'll even say if this one. If this one's still around. I know the pandemic. Like, whenever time I would go to visit, the pandemic would always scare me of, like, things being gone because they were all once there and then now they're not because of, you know, just things closed down or didn't make it. But there's two spots that I used to love to go to. One was in the Tenderloin, which is kind of a seedy area, so I'd be surprised if it still exists. But it was called the Black Cat. It was like an underground speakeasy, like a jazz bar, but they also had food.

[Morgan]

I love a jazz bar.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, it was sick. It was so much fun. And then another spot was called hrd, which was cash only, and that was in the. More, like the Soma area. Cash only. It was always featured on, like, Food Network channels. Oh, my God. Their sandwiches and their. It was so freaking delicious.

[Morgan]

Okay, let me see if I can find these two places. Black Cat, San Francisco looks like it is still open.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, it is. And is it in, like, the Tenderland area?

[Morgan]

Same. It says Eddie Street.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. Sweet.

[Morgan]

And then what was the other?

[Scuba Steve]

Hrd? Yeah, hrd. All the three letters.

[Morgan]

Like a coffee shop? Kind of.

[Scuba Steve]

No, it's like a Vietnamese sandwich shop, I believe.

[Morgan]

Was it on Third Street?

[Scuba Steve]

It was on. Yeah. Third and Soma.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's closed.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, that was so amazing.

[Morgan]

Yeah, they're not reopening either.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, that's.

[Morgan]

That one is. That's a bummer.

[Scuba Steve]

That is a bummer. Because that one was delicious.

[Morgan]

I always get sad when, like, I try really hard to go and try new restaurants all the time. Like, just even, like, when I say new restaurants, like, I'll try and go somewhere new each time. Even if it's a place that's been here for 50 years.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I always try and go. Every time we go out to eat, I'm eating at a new place, and it makes me really sad when, like, mom and pop shops have been around for decades. Shut down.

[Scuba Steve]

They're gone. I know. And they were so good.

[Morgan]

Good food or.

[Scuba Steve]

I know.

[Morgan]

Drinks or whatever they do. So bummer. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Oh, then Kingdom. This one. This one's close. I'm going to cry. We're going to end the podcast right now. This one was called. Was it Kingdom of Dumpling? And it was over in the Chinese.

[Morgan]

Restaurant in San Francisco?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yes. It's still open.

[Scuba Steve]

You know, Dumpling. It was like the Sunset District. Cash only, super small hole in the wall. It's been around forever. It's an OG spot, man. That place was phenomenal.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you're still good there.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, cool. Sweet. The soup dumplings. Oh my gosh. The frickin best.

[Morgan]

Oh man. Okay. Do you have any new favorite pairs of shoes lately? This is Tim in Colorado.

[Scuba Steve]

My wife has not allowed me to buy any new shoes. What in a while? I mean it's been. I can't think of me pulled my in person. I can't think of the last pair of shoes I bought in person. I'm going to check my sneakers app to see if I bought anything recently.

[Morgan]

Are you guys on a budgeting right now?

[Scuba Steve]

Budget slash. She's like, you have enough shoes. You have more than enough shoes. You have all the shoes you could possibly want. But I was like, yeah, there's a few more that I'm trying to conquer of like my holy grail collection of shoes that I wanted from my childhood that I never got that I'm trying to buy now. And one of them is a pair of Jason kids that came out in 96. Okay, they're up tempo.

[Morgan]

I'm gonna have to look them up.

[Scuba Steve]

They recently came out with a new pair of Jason kids, but they're not the color way that I like. I like the old school where it's like that charcoal gray, black and white. Okay, Jason kid, up tempo. Let me see if you get the right ones. The 96 flight of tempos or something like that. I think it's called Jason. Maybe it's called Tempo.

[Morgan]

We're doing a lot of googling on this. Best fits.

[Scuba Steve]

These, those are. No as the second one ones. It's those ones right there, but not that colorway.

[Morgan]

Okay, so they got like a little funky wave on them. They got a little like it looks like balls of air on the bottom of the feet.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes.

[Morgan]

So they're Nikes.

[Scuba Steve]

The Nikes? Yeah, man.

[Morgan]

What's the last pair your favorite brand overall?

[Scuba Steve]

Oh yeah, for sure.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Nike's my favorite brand. Nike, Jordan.

[Morgan]

Even you just talking about those. You never said Nike. So I was like thinking they might be something else, but everything's always Nike.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, that one, those ones and the ones that right there next to it, those are the Air Zoom Flight. I want those as the pennies from when he played in the 96 Olympics. I almost got a pair of those when we were at the Navy PX in Orlando. My grandmother, she was like, you know those sweet Ladies, like, I'll get you what you want. And they had those shoes and they were, I think 90 bucks back then, which was a lot of money for shoes. My budget for shoes was always like $40 and $50. Like the sale rack or Payless shoes or whatever the hell. We would get sucked. I didn't love it because then you would wear these like, Bunk Ass Shack shoes or Hakeema Lodge ones that no one had. And then you get your butt kicked for wearing stupid shoes.

[Morgan]

So my bucket. Is that a dude thing? Because I wear all kinds of shoes.

[Scuba Steve]

You're not wearing airwalks, like an air. That's the crazy thing, too. You go to Walmart now. Walmart sells airwalks. They sell fubu, they sell lug, they sell all the brands that were cool in the 90s.

[Morgan]

Walmart's like, clothing section.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Pretty solid.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. They've done a whole revamp across the country.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Esthetically looks more pleasing. That's like brighter. They have Reebok there now.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Like, they have a lot of good brands. I was walking through, I was buying something for a theme birthday party. I was like, oh, I would. I would wear that. Wear that. And I was like, yeah, cool clothes. And yeah, they. Walmart, notoriously, was never known for that. They were known for Walmart people.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. It was not really, like, the best stuff.

[Morgan]

Okay. Okay. So no new pairs of shoes. And we got our last one. This is from Sarah in Tennessee. Have you tried Mellow Fellow Vapes or tinctures?

[Scuba Steve]

Tinctures, yeah, they're like the. Like the vape cartridges and stuff. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay. Well, she highly recommends. So she's curious if you've tried it.

[Scuba Steve]

I don't think I've had Mellow Yellow. Let me look at you.

[Morgan]

Vape.

[Scuba Steve]

I haven't in a long time because it would give me. Because of the tinctures in it. It would make me sneeze every time I'd hit it, so.

[Morgan]

So you're allergic to vaping?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I think it's the. Whatever the tinctures are that are in there that give you. That gives it the flavor or whatever. There was a certain brand, and I think it was called Kingpin, which is a really. And they had. I think they called it Raw or whatever, where basically it was. Because when you get most vapes, they're yellow, and this one was like a clear one. They're so hard to find. But that was the only one. It was more like organic and it didn't have all the tinctures in it. Would make you sneeze and. Because I guess it's like a common thing, unless you are, I don't know, a superhuman and you can get through it. But they would have a clear version that wouldn't make you sneeze and was more clean. But of course, they don't sell it very often, and when they do have it, they always sell out because it's better than the other one.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

So, yeah, I'm more of a. Just. I like, flower better because I feel like. And there's pros and cons to everything.

[Morgan]

So you bake it in stuff and then you eat it?

[Scuba Steve]

No, I just smoke it. Like flour, like, in a bowl or roll it up in a J or something.

[Morgan]

Like flour. Like baking flour?

[Scuba Steve]

No.

[Morgan]

Because, listen, I know they make baking flour that does make you feel special.

[Scuba Steve]

No, so. So all the different versions, there's. So there's. There's like, edibles, which could be, like, gummies or candy or whatever it may be.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

And which. Those are made with, like, a. An oil. So the oil is like, the bas would either bake. You can get oil to bake your own stuff, but you can buy it where they put the oils in it, and they sell it and they package it, and they're. You know, they're portioned out by the milligrams and all that. There's the vaping, where it's like the cartridges and all that. There's the dab, which is way too hard for me. That's like. For people who are numb and. Or, like, smoke way too much.

[Morgan]

They also do, like, dab bars.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, that's just too strong for me. Okay, but then flour is basically like, like, buds. Like the actual. Like the traditional, like, from old school. Like, just like, actual. What you would see.

[Morgan]

Yeah, like the plant.

[Scuba Steve]

The plant, exactly. Yeah.

[Morgan]

But isn't there, like, weed flour that people bake with?

[Scuba Steve]

Well, that's the oil.

[Morgan]

Okay, so it's oil.

[Scuba Steve]

It's not flour, it's oil. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So when you say flour, it was really cute that you stopped that. I was like.

[Morgan]

I really thought it was because people bake, like, brownies and stuff.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. They use oil oil. It's, like, in butter, and they make the butter out of the THC oil or whatever. But. Yeah, so, no, there's no actual. You probably use flour to make the brownies, whatever you're making.

[Morgan]

Yeah. But it's not weed flower, like, I was thinking.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Flower is like the term for. For like the. Like. Because it. Because when the weeds growing It's a plant with leaves and then the buds or you can call. Bud is the flower that grows out and it's like, you know, that's what. That's where you pick that and dry it and smoke that. So, yeah, I'm definitely more of a smoker than anything.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, thanks for the lesson on flower. I don't know, man. I don't know.

[Scuba Steve]

I. Just kidding. I don't.

[Morgan]

You know, I. I thought flourish.

[Scuba Steve]

That is funny. When you're not in that culture, you would think. I mean, on the outside in, I'm like, oh, she was kind of right. Yeah. But spelled differently. That flower is F, L, O U R. This flower is F, L, O W E R flower.

[Morgan]

Oh, like the. I got it. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Flower. Like a literal flower.

[Morgan]

Either maybe it's the fact that I'm currently on a fast as we're doing this, or the fact I haven't eaten a lot of the foods that I love. So maybe I just was really going to food.

[Scuba Steve]

Totally. Or you just don't. You're just not educated in that world and that's totally fine.

[Morgan]

Both.

[Scuba Steve]

Square bear.

[Morgan]

Now a square bear. Is that also a terminology in that?

[Scuba Steve]

No, I think it's just like in life, I have.

[Morgan]

I. I've had my moments of that, but I don't know anything about the terminology. It was always done for me and then I just participated.

[Scuba Steve]

True. That's usually how it would be when, like when you're hanging out with girls. Oh, I got this. Don't worry. Yeah, the move is always. You wanna. You want a shotgun? Like, that was basically. It's like you take like a blunt or a joint and you put it in your mouth. Like the fire end is in your mouth and you hold like the, like the tip of it, this part, and you blow. And you can blow the smoke into someone's face.

[Morgan]

What?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Called shotgunning.

[Morgan]

But shotgunning is also a beer term.

[Scuba Steve]

I know, but. But it's in this world, my world, it's that. But it would be. It'd be a way to basically essentially get your lips pretty close to a girl. Because then you'd be like, turkey.

[Morgan]

Turkey.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, you want a shotgun? They're like, yeah, I'll take a shotgun. And so you put it in your mouth. So you're basically risking burning the crap out of the inside of your mouth to maybe get a kiss from this chicken. And you put it there and you blow it. And then some girls, you get it close enough. And then also next to you, you're.

[Morgan]

Making out but what happens to the thing?

[Scuba Steve]

You pull it out and you make out. Or you just kiss him just to, like, see what it's like, and then see where it goes from there.

[Morgan]

Get a little feeling.

[Scuba Steve]

Exactly. Yeah. Or you just do the shotgun. Here you go, and you move on. It was, like, a stupid move. Like, in high school.

[Morgan]

I learned so much right now in this moment.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. She tagged this one. Not safe for work unless you're in a state that participates.

[Morgan]

There's a lot of square bears like me. Okay.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, true. This could be an educational thing for mothers also that have kids. They're trying to hide it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. If they talk about shotgunning. Apparently. Now I know there's two terms.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. For beer and for this. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Neither one's good, so.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shotgunning a beer is way worse, though, because it's, like, gross.

[Morgan]

I love shot. I was really good at shotgunning.

[Scuba Steve]

Really? I was not. I couldn't do it. I couldn't get it to, like. I couldn't open my throat to get.

[Morgan]

It to go down to make that happen.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

That was kind of one of my party tricks when we were in college. They'd be like, anybody want a shotgun? Be all the dudes. I'm like, bring me in.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, my God. So cool. And I'm like, she's badass. She's amazing.

[Morgan]

And I do cake stands, and I love cake stands. I love a cake stand.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, cake stands are so much fun.

[Morgan]

My challenge to myself was always to stand on the cake stand by myself without anybody holding me. I never quite got it. It's tough, but I was close.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, it's tough. We had a girl one time at a house party in Daly City, San Francisco area, and I think it was her last day at work. I don't remember. It was like, we were in our early 20s, and she was never in a keg stand, but was like, I'll do it. Sure. And I remember the. I'll never forget it. We all. After she did what she did, we're like, why would you do that? Like. Like, it doesn't make. So you have to hold. You know, you have to hold your hands up on the keg, and then someone pulls your feet up in the air. So when she was done, she just, like, let go of the keg, which.

[Morgan]

No.

[Scuba Steve]

But they were still holding her feet up. So if you know anything about gravity, when you let. When you let go of it, but they're holding your feet up still. Bam. She smacked her face on the keg, and we're all like, stephanie, what the hell's wrong with you?

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh.

[Scuba Steve]

I didn't know what to do. I was like, well, don't let go because they're still holding your feet up. There's a thing called gravity.

[Morgan]

That poor, that poor girl. She probably still has an injury from this day and tells that story, I'm sure.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I'm sure it's part of her party stories of forever. And she was so intelligent, though. I feel like sometimes people who are just overly intelligent are not thinking about this kind of stuff.

[Morgan]

Social skills are different than intelligence, for sure.

[Scuba Steve]

So most definitely. Yeah. Yeah. She went on to move. I think she went on to work for Google and do all kinds of great things, so.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, for sure. She tells that story.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

[Morgan]

That's wild.

Yeah.
