[AT&T Business Wireless Announcer]

Not every sale happens at the register. Before AT&T business Wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too long. Basically a staring contest where everyone loses. It's crazy what people will say during an awkward silence. Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold. That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sail or two. Sometimes I do miss the bonding time. Sometimes.

Listener Q and A Time where Morgan

[Morgan (show host)]

and a show member answer almost all your questions.

[Morgan]

Here we are over in Listener Q and A Time on Best Fits. If you didn't already, check out part one this weekend with Abby. We spiraled in so many different directions, but we definitely talked about wedding planning. And a whole lot of it. And what we're doing with all that. Right, Abby?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yes, we did.

[Jill Winterstein]

We did.

[Morgan]

We talked about all of those things. Hi, Abby.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Welcome to the podcast.

[Morgan]

So if you want to know all about that, go listen to part one, but if you're here, you want to listen to listener questions. So, Abby, let's get into this. We didn't get to answer where you would go if the show ended.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Whoa, Bethany.

[Morgan]

In Kansas.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Where would I go?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

What would I do?

[Morgan]

I still can. I'm moving to a mountain town. You give me an opportunity to move. I'm moving to a mountain town. I don't give a crap where it is.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's awesome.

[Morgan]

Somewhere with mountains. Put me there. I'll work in a little cafe. Honestly, like, what I really want to do if I do leave this job is just to go travel for a while.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, yeah. I really like.

[Morgan]

I buy a. Or rent a van to go around the country for a little bit and then I'd fly over and go backpack.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, man. That. That's a dream.

[Morgan]

And my fiance is totally on board. He's like, you just say when.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's amazing.

[Morgan]

So I. That would be my dream if this all ended. That would probably be my first step into the other side of this life.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's awesome. Well, we are going to have to stay here because he has kids, so we'll be living here. But I would want to travel a little bit when I can. But I'd want to be on a beach.

[Morgan]

Do you think he'd move to a beach with you later?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Maybe. Maybe.

[Morgan]

I guess you can't right now because. Split custody.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah, it just kind of depends because I would want to be closer to family too, even though no family lives here. But like, my parents come and visit a lot and stuff. But he might could put that in the little. I haven't really talked about.

[Morgan]

Put a little seed, let it grow and fester.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Plant a little seed in the air. Let's get a beach going. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Okay. I would love to.

[Morgan]

So you'd be here, huh? What would you do? Not work, just go full, full time mom status.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Stay at home wife, stay at home mom. Yeah, full blown. I'm just. No, I'm just kidding. No, I'd still. I would like to do more like health stuff, like maybe work at a gym. While I'm also kind of doing singing stuff. Being creative, try to come up with like, get better at songwriting and singing. So like kind of two part time things.

[Morgan]

Okay. I'm Gonna throw something out here. Cause I don't know if you've ever really thought about it or maybe you have and we just never talked about it. But I had a really awesome girl on who'll be on my podcast coming up soon. Her. Her name is Kristen Rogers and she's a full time backup singer.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's awesome.

[Morgan]

She's done it for. She's done it on CMAs, ACMs. She's currently on tour with Post Malone.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No way.

[Morgan]

And she was the coolest person ever. I met her when I did Red Bull Jukebox. Cause she was in the band that was on stage and we were sharing a dressing room. We were just hanging out, talking. And she's a really awesome person. I feel like you could totally rock that career.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think you could rock the singing thing too, mind you. But if that for some reason feels overwhelming or too much, I feel like you'd be a great backup vocalist.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That'd be so. I love harmonizing. Yeah. Or like being in a group or something, like a band and just being like the harmonizer. And then maybe if there's a couple female songs like I sing. Yeah, that'd be so cool. Oh, my gosh. That's hard. Like every time I've met, like a background singer, they are insane. Like, their voice, you have to be even better than like the actual singer. Like Carrie Underwood's backup singer. Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Yeah. And she crazy. Kristen was also out with Eric Church for a bunch of stuff.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's so cool. I'll have to look her up. Yeah, she was already on.

[Morgan]

Yeah, she did. She did stuff with Eric Church for a while and she. She's so funny. She talked about how she'll quit after three years. Like, that's her max. She'll stay with somebody and she'll move forward.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Really?

[Morgan]

Yeah. It's. Her story is just super cool. She's a cool person.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's interesting.

[Morgan]

But I feel like that could be an avenue for you.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That could be just something that. So I don't get out of it, you know? Like, I don't want to lose sight. I feel like a lot of that lately is me, like, losing sight of why I moved to Nashville. And I'm like, that's why I did it too, so why can't I? You should do that, you know, or

[Morgan]

you should pursue the full time artist thing. But there's something in me about you that says that that's not what you want.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. I just don't think I have, like, I have to be honest with myself, I don't have, like, the full package. I'm not like the Laney Walton, like.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, not with that attitude.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

You seen me, like an easy turvy. I freaking lock up on everything.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

On an interview, they'll be like, what's your favorite part of being a singer? I'll be like, let me think.

[Morgan]

And you know what? That could be really endearing about you. You could. You have the full package. You are the full package.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

The girl that draws a blank, Abby Lee Anderson. I'm just kidding. See, I'm so. I'm so hard on myself, too. That's a lot of it. I can't be that way. If you're gonna be like Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson. They would never talk about themselves the way I talk about me.

[Morgan]

It is true. There's a confidence thing there, but I personally think you can do it. But that might be what I'm attaching to. It's just like I've been telling you, I'm missing your vi.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. That's not a good thing. Yeah. And conversations.

[Morgan]

Yeah. But you could. You could do that. But that would be a cool avenue for you to look at if you really wanted to explore something. Still doing your creative outlet.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yes.

[Morgan]

While not having to do the other side of it.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I really want to do that.

[Morgan]

So that'll probably.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That would be your thing. Yeah.

[Morgan]

The thing you did if you left.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Huh.

[Morgan]

What's it like being engaged now? So happy for you both. Mary from Arkansas.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

It's. It just feels like it's surreal, but it also feels like. Just very natural. Like it's not a thing. I don't know.

[Morgan]

That's a perfect.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You described that perfectly. It feels like nothing has changed. Well, also, everything has changed.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. Right?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

And I can't stop looking at the ring. Like, it's just, like, my favorite thing. I can't. It's even. It's been, what, since November? And I'm still like, oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

I know. I still look weird. Like, there's an engagement ring in my head.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I love to look at him, and I'll be like, you did that? He's like, yeah, I did. I'm like, I'll just say that randomly. It'll just come out because I'm, like, looking. I'm like, you did that.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. Sometimes he grabs my hand. He's like, I want to look at it. I never get to. I'm like, oh, you're right. Like, it's always here for me. But you never get to. And you're the one that bought it, so I didn't look at it.

[Morgan]

I just asked him the other day. I was like, what about your ring? Do you know what you want? He's like, oh, I haven't thought about that. I was like, well, you should probably start thinking about that. We can get that for you.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

He wants the bling.

[Morgan]

He wants a. He wants a black one. Little tungsten ring, I think is what they are.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Is it first initial response.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Okay. He knows.

[Morgan]

We'll report back.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's awesome.

[Morgan]

But have you forgotten your ring yet?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, yeah, I did. Well, oh, my gosh. I did. And it was so. I was with Cheesehead. I was with him, and I was like, oh, my gosh, I forgot it. And he's just like, whoa. Okay. I'm like, no, it's a big deal to me. I feel like I'm going out just, like, single and ready to make. No, I felt the same way. Really?

[Morgan]

Yes. So this happened to me, and I had. So I have currently my. Apparently, my fingers get really fat in the winter, and then they, like, get really skinny now that we're in, like, nicer weather. Because this thing was, like, great on there, and now it just, like, spins all the time.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Wait, it should be the opposite when you're cold. It should, but I feel that, too. It's the same thing with me.

[Morgan]

Really.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

It's been getting bigger. Okay. And I don't know why.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I.

[Morgan]

Somebody told me that in the cold, your fingers swell up.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I thought it was the opposite.

[Morgan]

I don't know, man. I don't know what fingers do. That's just what somebody told me. So I've been feeling that lately. And I. I had, like, a little spacer on it to keep it from doing that. And then I'd put on, like, my. All my face stuff and lotion, and I was putting on a spray tan, and I took them all off, and I was like, I don't want anything in there. And then I completely forgot to put it back on. I spent an entire day, and one of my busiest days, I was running everywhere. I was work. I had to go to an event. And then I went to a friend's event that she needed me at, where I was talking about trying on wedding dresses, and I was like. I just felt naked the entire day.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Isn't that so weird?

[Morgan]

It was awful. And I text him. I was like, I am so sorry. He's like, it's fine. I don't care. But, like, are you okay? Are you Going to be okay. I was like, I'm not actually.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh. A lot of my friends, they don't wear those. Well, one of mine, she's a dentist, so she's always, like, washing her hands and then taking gloves on and off. So I get that. But, like, a lot. They're just like, I'm just not, like, a diamond ring kind of girl. Like, what?

[Morgan]

I'm a diamond ring girl. You had a diamond ring on my hand. I'm a diamond ring girl. Maybe I won't feel that way in a couple of years, though.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

This is right now, Maybe. Yeah, but now it's crazy.

[Morgan]

You don't want to wear yours?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No, I want to all the time. All the time. But, yeah, it's like the tanning that I remember when I first got engaged. Like, I didn't want to wear in the shower. I didn't want, like. Like, shampoo. I thought it was gonna, like, stain it or whatever. Okay, now I'm a little more.

[Morgan]

I. I'll look at it all the time. I'm like, is this gonna hurt it?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Is that gonna hurt it?

[Morgan]

Will it break? What's gonna happen? He's like, I don't know. You know the same thing.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I know. I know. I, like, hit it on a door, and I'm like, it's gonna crack it. I'm like, wait, it's the diamond. It's harder. It's like, no. Not gonna crack.

[Morgan]

No, but there is something that can crack a diamond, and now I can't remember what it is.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, no. Or it can. The little prongs. Let me Google that in. They could get bent or something. That's what I'm.

[Morgan]

Prongs is what you have to be worried about. A friend told me that she. When she first got engaged, she lost the diamond, the big diamond. It came out of the prongs, and she looked for it everywhere. They were on a hike when she lost it. Like, I'm never going to find this diamond again. She, like, a couple hours later, she's like, I'm just going to check my purse one more time. It was in her.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I was in her purse.

[Morgan]

It happened to just fall out in her purse.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Crazy. And it was just a diamond. Not the ring. Like, the actual, like, diamond. The big one.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh. He got insurance?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Because I'm, like, always paranoid I'm gonna lose it. And he's like, it's fine if you do. I'm like, no, it's not okay. Just because you have Insurance. That's not. Okay. This is the original ring. It wouldn't be the same if you had to get a different one. It's true. Like, he's just so nonchalant. I'm like, no, I'm still gonna, like, protect it with my life.

[Morgan]

Yeah, because it's the first one. It's the one that they propose with.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Right.

[Morgan]

You get a new one.

[AT&T Business Wireless Announcer]

It's not the same.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

The same.

[Morgan]

And yes, while diamonds are the hardest natural material and cannot be easily scratched, they are brittle and can be broken, chipped, or shattered by a sharp direct impact from a hammer, anvil, or being dropped on hard surfaces.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

They have cleavage planes, and that makes them vulnerable to fracturing.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Well, next time I'm using a hammer, I will keep it far away from the ring. That's. Oh, okay. Yeah. There you go.

[Morgan]

So, yeah, we both in agreement. It's great. Being engaged is awesome. We love it. And also forgetting our ring sucks. That's what I've come to consensus on. What are your favorite date night ideas?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Love.

[Morgan]

Ava and Frederick's Berg, Texas. That one was hard for me.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That was good. Fredericksburg. What is it?

[Morgan]

Fredericksburg. I think that's a really cool wine country area in Texas.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Isn't it a bunch of wineries? A little bit. Maybe like an hour and a half or so.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, nice.

[Morgan]

Texas is massive. So I definitely just think everything's an hour and a half from each other. I'm not gonna lie. Just the main ones, you know, just

[Abby Lee Anderson]

to be safe to say that. Yeah. It's an hour and a half away. Oh, so we love, like, playing ping pong and pool and karaoke.

[Morgan]

Karaoke is for sure for you, isn't it?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

It is. I always bring it up. I just love it because we don't much. So when we do, it's extra fun. Like, I know I say we do a lot, but we don't that much.

[Morgan]

But that's your favorite date night.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Idea. Where do you play ping pong at?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

There's like, a billiards place in Nashville and they have pool and ping pong.

[Morgan]

Oh, so you get to play both.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yes. There's two. There's only two tables, so you can never get one. So we go there, like, all the time. We're like, okay, never mind. It's kind of sad, actually. Like, we go there ready to play, and then the tables are both taken.

[Morgan]

So how many times have you actually played?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Half the time. Okay. Yeah, we've probably been there. I would say like 10 times 50 out of 50. Yeah, that it. And then we sit there and wait, and then we watch them, and they're still playing. So we're like, okay, I guess we'll just go. Give up. We like to do trivia, too.

[Morgan]

Trivia nights.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Trivia nights. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I would think that would help you with easy trivia.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah, you would think.

[Morgan]

But honestly, trivia nights are more hard to me than, like, the tr. The questions that we get asked. I'm like, I should definitely know that, and I don't.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Exactly.

[Morgan]

So then I go to trivia, and trivia makes me feel even stupider.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You know what I mean? Like, I've listened to trivia nights. I'm like, who would know that?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I know, but sometimes I'm really good, and I'm so annoyed. So I'm like, wait, if they only knew I'm actually pretty good, I wouldn't look so dumb on the show.

[Morgan]

That's funny.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Like, it's just random. Like, there was one, and it was like, something Keebler, and I was like, applesauce.

[Morgan]

Keebler Elf.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. No, it was like, applesauce.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Hold on.

[Morgan]

I definitely. If you say Keebler, I think Keebler

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Elf, it said, what company has to do with apples or was first started with apples or something. And I said keebler, and it was right.

[Morgan]

That's impressive.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Let me look.

[Morgan]

I would have not gotten that, because I would have for sure thought cookies,

[Abby Lee Anderson]

because it's just like, that dumb trivia that comes in your. It just pops in your head, like, how do I know that that's when I thrive? When it's like a common sense or, you know, like a common knowledge. Yeah, common knowledge answer can do it. Nope. Anyway, Keebler.

[Morgan]

Okay, I learned something new today, and those are good date ideas.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. What are yours?

[Morgan]

We have a list in our phone of. So whenever we want to go on a date night, we have places and things that we've written down of things we want to do. And so every time we do a date night, we do something different that we haven't done before.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's awesome.

[Morgan]

I'm like, if we're gonna go out, we're gonna spend money, then we're gonna try new things instead of just going back to same places. So, like, we have places on here for lunch, for bakeries, for brunch, for dinner, for drinks. We have an activities list of things we can go do, hikes we can go on, and different. Like, holidays, if there's something going on, and then it's Just like a full. We have full thing.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

And we can just. So fun.

[Morgan]

Go on there, say, what are we in the mood for?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

For today?

[Morgan]

And then we'll pick one.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I love that.

[Morgan]

And that helps us because then it's not a go back and forth of, he wants this, I want this. We both want that.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Morgan]

We both want to go try something new. So we just try and knock them off every so often. Or if people reach out to us and want to do a double date or we want to hang out or do something, I'm like, okay, go to the list. What are we doing? And that's what we do.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I love that. I feel like ours are just mainly going out to eat because, like, on a weeknight, it's hard to do, like, go full on day. You know, it's like, okay, we got to eat, and then, okay, I gotta get back. Gotta go home to work.

[Morgan]

I get that.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Like, on a weekend. Yeah, we can do stuff like that.

[Morgan]

All right. I'm with you, though. Like, the sport dates are so fun to me. I love mini golf or duck. Duck bowl or duck pin bowling. Yeah. Or regular bowling. Any activity.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

What is that? That's close to your pet shack.

[Morgan]

Putt shack.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Love that. It's so fun.

[Morgan]

I love those places.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Me too.

[Morgan]

Or games. There's a place here called Play Playground, and it's all just a bunch of games.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. That was so fun. So, like, you don't have to pay to get in. Right. You just, like, go, and then you pay for the individual things. I think.

[Morgan]

Correct.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

They, like, changed it. I think it. Huh?

[Morgan]

I said correct, but I think I paid to get in.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I think they may have changed it since then to get people in the door because now they just let you in, but then you pay for each individual thing, which. I like that idea.

[Morgan]

Got it. That makes sense because. Well, when I paid up front, it was. It gave us credits to play the game.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

So I guess it's the same. They just want to get people, like, in there.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Because I was like. There was a line out the door, and I was like, I don't know what I'm paying. What's in there? You know what's up there? Yeah. Like, what. What is this play? Oh, yeah, that's a good one.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Good.

[Morgan]

Date nights. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

[Amanda Knox]

In 2023, a story gripped the UK evoking horror and disbelief.

[Morgan]

The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history.

[Amanda Knox]

Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict. A villain. A nurse named Lucy Letby.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Lucy Letby has been found guilty.

[Amanda Knox]

But what if we didn't get the whole story?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses.

[Clayton Eckerd]

I'm Clayton neckard and in 2022 I was the lead of ABC's the Bachelor.

[Stephanie Young]

Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The Internet turned on him.

[Clayton Eckerd]

If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would.

[Stephanie Young]

But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal.

[Jill Winterstein]

The media is here.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

[Mind Games Host]

What if mind control is real?

[Morgan]

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Mind Games Host]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Morgan]

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Mind Games Host]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[Clayton Eckerd]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Mind Games Host]

Can you get someone to join your cult?

[Morgan]

NLP was used on me to access my subconscious.

[Mind Games Host]

Nlp, AKA Neuro linguistic programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[Clayton Eckerd]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Mind Games Host]

Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a new age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP might actually work.

[Morgan]

This is wild.

[Morgan]

Kendra in Canada.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I love Canada. Canada.

[Morgan]

Visit Canada.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Me too.

[Morgan]

Does Abby get sad when Lunchbox is rude to her?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No. It actually kind of makes me laugh cuz he's so ridiculous. I think I used to be sad and I still do. Like when I sing, that makes me sad because like that's something you mean and it's something. I can't help my voice, you know, like he's like, you sound nasally, you're terrible. And I'm like, I can't help it. But. And so that kind of makes me a little sad. But no, the others are just. He's like a big brother, you know, it's just like you deal with it. Like you just have to have thick skin because you know, they just want to make you mad.

[Morgan]

Oh truly. The amount of times that they love to just make jokes and I'm at my wits end and I just want to be like, just stop and stop before I blow my gasket because you have pushed the wrong button.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

They can never be serious. Like never, literally ever. And even when you need them to

[Morgan]

be like, I've seen, I've seen maybe split seconds of them being serious, maybe. And that's if I demand it. I'm like, no, I actually need you to be serious right now.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

And if he is serious, like I'm like, oh my gosh, really? He's like, no, Abby. No, not really. I'm like, you had a serious tone, so I thought you were being serious.

[Morgan]

There's nothing serious about them at all.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

What are your favorite things about Nashville? Sadie from Ohio.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I love that. There's always something to do. There's so many venues to go to, a concert, and so many different ones, like writers rounds, like acoustic shows, arenas, stadiums. And then there's also so much to do outside, like, hiking. There's so many hiking trails and, like, running trails and bikeways or, you know, like, what else? There's a lot of activities for kids, too, which is cool. We go to Adventure Science Center a lot.

[Morgan]

I still go to Adventure Science Center. I haven't been.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

It's really cute. It's awesome. We have, like, a membership. So you go all the way. It's cool.

[Morgan]

Just for kiddos, though.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No. So, you know, like, Exploration Place in Wichita? Yep. It's kind of like that. But I always have, like, so much fun.

[Morgan]

Does it have the big dome like Exploration Place does? Because I loved the dome there.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No. Yeah, it does, but I haven't been yet with him. We want to go to, like, something, like, outer space. Something there. That'd be so cool. He does have that.

[Morgan]

Have you had space ice cream before?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No. No, I don't think.

[Morgan]

You never had space ice cream from Exploration Place?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No. What is it? Oh, the dried ice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

And it was like. It came in, like, chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

It's like chalk, like, kind of.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but I loved it.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No, it's so good.

[Morgan]

The texture is like chalk.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It kind of breaks ap. And it's just, like, chunky, and.

[Morgan]

But then you put it in your mouth and just melts.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yes. Oh, my gosh. Or the cosmosphere. Did you ever go there?

[Morgan]

That's, like, where that is.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I feel like that's where I got it. Maybe. Or there. Yeah, but.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Does Adventure Science center have NASA astronaut ice cream?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

They have a store, but I don't. I haven't seen it in there. Oh, my God.

[Morgan]

That's where it would be. I need to see if I can track that down. I've thought about that a lot, and I don't know why

[Abby Lee Anderson]

that nostalgia. Oh, my gosh. That's so funny. Yeah. When I was thinking ice cream, I was thinking Dippin Dots. But no, no. It's like the dinner.

[Morgan]

Oh, don't get me started on Dippin Dots. I love Dippin Dots.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yes. Me, too.

[Morgan]

I looked it up, and you can buy Dippin Dots and have shipped to your house. You can, but they come in, like, pounds.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

And your problem is what?

[Morgan]

I don't really have anywhere to put pounds of ice cream. You know, Like, I only have a very small freezer.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

They sell em at Opera Mills Mall.

[Jill Winterstein]

I know.

[Morgan]

I go sometimes just to get Dippin' Dots.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. Oh, they're so good.

[Morgan]

So good.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I used to get em at Worlds of Fun every time I went there. Yep. It was just, like, tradition. And I feel like, oh, and the mall tail needs to add it to.

[Morgan]

And whenever I go to a game, I get them. Anytime I go to an outdoor baseball game. Most places have Dippin Dots.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh. They need those here. Do they? They do.

[Morgan]

I think Nashville sounds.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

They have them.

[Morgan]

But don't you dare come at me with the knockoff version of Dippin Dots because it is not the same.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, yeah. What are they called?

[Morgan]

I don't know. I see them in, like, the bags and they are not the same.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

They probably have them at the grocery store. That's probably.

[Morgan]

Probably. But they are not it.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Probably not.

[Morgan]

You can't do knockoff Dippin Dots.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No, you can't.

[Morgan]

Dippin Dots is the only one.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Soul Survivor. Do Abby and her fiance want more kids? Natalie?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yes. Yes. I don't know why I said it like that. I get so weird when I'm talking about stuff like that.

[Morgan]

She just spasmed a little bit on me.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I am so weird when I talk about anything, like, vulnerable like that.

[Morgan]

Okay, that's okay. I understand.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I'm going to therapy for it. I have someone to talk to about it. Why do you think that is? I'm like. I don't know. I'm asking you, please tell me.

[Morgan]

I was gonna say we've talked about vulnerable things before.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

We have.

[Morgan]

And you've done great.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I know.

[Morgan]

You just got weird.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Okay.

[Morgan]

So. Yes.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yes, kids. And we'll leave that at that. Unless there's anything else you want to add. I can't tell what you're doing over there.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No, I do. Yeah. I don't know how many.

[Morgan]

See, I'm very much. If you listen to part one, I'm very much in my doom and gloom era, so I really don't want any.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

We didn't talk about then. We didn't talk about that.

[Morgan]

No. But I'm like, in the space of doom and gloom, and so it makes me really hard to, like, want to have kids in this world.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, well, yeah, that too.

[Morgan]

See, I Told you. Doom and gloom.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I know.

[Morgan]

So that's where I'm at right now.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, I think about that all the time. Like, would I want to bring kids into this world? He already has kids. So we. I just have to teach them and help them see the good and try not to be part of the bad. That's, you know, See, but, like, they're already here. Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I have to make that decision.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Right.

[Morgan]

But like, now when you have that ability to make that decision. Oh, yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's the number one thing on my brain all the time. Like, why would I do that? I hope. Like, I want them to have a childhood as good as I did, you

[Morgan]

know, and it's not the 90s anymore, so bring back the.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I'm going to bring it back. I'm not going to let them have phones or computers their whole lives until they turn 18.

[Morgan]

Do like the slow rollout. How we got it. Or you got like the. The phone line. Right. The home phone. And then you get the dial up. Or maybe those are reverse. Whatever. And then you get like the computer room.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Where everybody hung out in one room to get on the computer. And that was the only computer that was in the house. And then ipods to listen to music.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think that was 2000. I'm jumping around a bunch of years here, but you know what I mean?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Slow rollout.

[Morgan]

Do it the same way. You got it.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No, we're going to have a landline. They're going to have to call and be like, hey, can I talk to Sarah? I'll be like, yeah, one second. Wait, who is this?

[Morgan]

Who are you?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Who are you? Yeah, you got five minutes. I'm just kidding.

[Morgan]

They can have the cool little phones. I had the cool little home phone that had the little change out of the colors. You got to change the color of the phone.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, mine was the see through one where you could see the inside.

[Morgan]

See, that's cool, too.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

The little. Oh, my gosh. That was so awesome. First it was the one on the cord. Yeah. And then it finally became cordless and it was purple. Yeah. Did you ever have that was like

[Morgan]

a darker purple, a little see through? I think my sister did. Because then I got the one where you could change out the colors. It kind of looked like a walkie talkie, but you could change out the colors on it.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Really? I didn't ever have that one.

[Morgan]

So I had purple, pink, orange, and yellow, depending on the day.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, my gosh. That's awesome.

[Morgan]

It's so funny.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, all right.

[Morgan]

I know. So if you do have kids, you're taking them back to the 90s.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yep.

[Morgan]

Understood. What happened with Abby's car accident? That's where we're going to leave this at. Ms. Lisa asked that.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Oh, yeah. We're still waiting to process. So. Okay. There. Her insurance, like, called me, and I have, like, missed every call, and I won't call back. Like, I have called back, but they don't answer. It's. It's very difficult.

[Morgan]

Didn't.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Because I have to give a statement.

[Morgan]

And you're not in fault, though, correct?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Well, then you need to respond to that so you can get the money to fix your vehicle.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I know. It just seems like a lot right now because my other car, I'm still trying to get it fixed, too. And this is my. It's really old and it's on the other side. I can't see. So I'm kind of like at this point where I'm like, do I care? That's so bad. But that's just. That's another thing added to my list. I know we talk about wedding stuff. I'm like, there's just a lot of stuff happening.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

On my list of things that just. A lot.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You add that on, you're like, never mind.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah. It's just kind of. It's one of the. I still haven't taken my other car in to get fixed. I got like the whole quote and everything, so I'm just like, oh, my gosh, I don't have time to take this one in. Wait for it to get checked. It's. It's a lot. So I understand that I need a personal assistant. That's what I've come to realize. I just. I need something.

[Morgan]

I understand. I do get it. So, okay. Nothing currently.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

No.

[Morgan]

And you're not in jail, so you didn't do anything wrong.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I didn't do anything wrong. It was her. And I'm thinking of just forgiveness. Just be like, hey, you got off on this one. You're good. Just be careful next time.

[Morgan]

But if you ever want to try and resell that car, which I don't know if you plan to or want to at one point.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah, that's true.

[Morgan]

Then you will want it fixed. But I understand. Ultimately decide not to. And maybe if you get a, like, price on it's a couple hundred dollars, you don't really care.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

But. Yeah, that's true.

[Morgan]

That would be probably the only reason it truly matters at the end of the day.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

If you don't care is if you just want to get rid of it at some point in your life.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Which I'm so unlike that because I'm like, oh, my gosh, any dent on my car. Like, I cannot do that. Like door dings or anything. But this, I'm just like, it's. I mean, it's a 2006.

[Morgan]

She's still running, though.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

That's running.

[Morgan]

You might need that in apocalyptic territory.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Seriously? Oh, yeah, that's. I'm not getting rid of her, so

[Morgan]

then you should probably have it fixed.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

She going strong? She got a little scrape, but get the scrape. Friends like that.

[Morgan]

Like a what, Abby?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

I don't know. What do you say?

[Mind Games Host]

I don't know.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Like a tiger or.

[Morgan]

Where was your mind going?

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Like a cheetah. I don't know. Every time we get to the end, I just turn into this.

[Morgan]

Like, we're both loopy this whole time.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

It's okay.

[Morgan]

It's fine.

[Abby Lee Anderson]

Sorry. All right, we're gonna get out of here now for the place. I'm gonna go call the insurance company back.
