Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the week with Morgan, Part one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I hang a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What's Up? Everybody? Welcome to the Weekend. It's part one.
Super Steve is joining me. What's up? Scuba?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
So is this the first one that plays or the
second one that plays?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
First one that plays?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I was gonna say something that was a follow up
from the first one that we recorded.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No, I can't do that.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You can't do that. I know, it's all it's weird.
You have a weird scales, So I gotta fit you
in where we can find.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Okay, what if for this weekend only we flipped it
and put Q and A first, and then we did
this one second.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And then when they hear this, so.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Go, oh, that's why the Q and A's first, because
he's telling the story. That's the fallout to what they
recorded first. No, No, you can't break the format.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You can't break the format.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You gotta be fluid. We're in radio. People like consistency, yeah,
but sometimes you gotta like change it.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No, if there's anything I've figured out about our listener.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Makes sense though, but the listeners will understand if you
had to flip it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Okay, We're missing a lot of conversations right now.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Okay, a right, sorry listeners, you'll have to get the
story in about a month and a half. My next time,
I want the best bits.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Fall up to something that we talked about.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah. We Yeah, it's okay, it's fine, it's cool, it's
more about it's all good.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh my god, you're stressing me out.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm not stressed out. I'm always stressed out.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Okay, well that is a problem. Yes, yeah, Anyways, we
didn't get to talk about one question, which was Chandler
in California, who wanted us to talk about Epic.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Universe in Oh yes Universal.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She was like, which Epic Universe section are you most
excited about?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I think my kids are excited about the How To
Train Your Dragon side. I'm really excited to see the
Mario side because it's the first, like really big expansive
Mario world. Because they have the one in Hollywood and
it's a really it's cool, but it's a smaller portion
of It's almost like a food court sample size of what.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It can be.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Do they have one in Japan?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Japan? I have one too. I don't know how big
theirs is.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I feel like there is probably really cool.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, I'm sure, yeah, because that's where it was made.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah. I feel like they like made it all out there.
So this will be at the first big.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
One for yeah, for America. Yeah, I'm so excited to
go see it.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I wish we I wish we were one of those
shows that did the broadcast, because they always invite shows
across the country, especially art, we would get the We
would one hundred percent get the invite because they reached
a large population that travels to Orlando and it's thinking, oh,
should I go to Universe. Well I listened to Steve
or whoever the Bybone show and they were there and
they had a great time.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm going anyways, I digress.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I wish we could do that because it would do that.
We would do it. You and I would go and
we'd get there.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Because Disney when ever time they would have a new ride,
or they are them in for a particular holiday, like
you know, whether it be I think Christmas is a
big one or they're not so scary Halloween, they always
invite shows to go there and broadcast for a couple
of days, and they put you up in a hotel
and then you get to go to the parks and
you get cool fun access and you talk about it
and it's so much fun because you're there. But I
don't know, that's a dream of mind to be able
to actually be able to do one of those.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I still think we should try and make it happen.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I know that Beginniverse one is coming upough, because that's
like now if they're opening up I think May twenty third.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Or at the end of May man.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And it looks so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
The one I'm so excited about is Ministry of Magic.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Okay, that's the Harry Potter one. Yes, because they're spending
that it's going to be even going to be three worlds. Now,
that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
And I'm so excited because when I went to the
other ones, I totally geeked out. I could have spent
a whole weekend just hanging out in Harry Potter Land
doing both those.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Back and forth in Islands and the Universal Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
So now I'm like, oh, I got another one to
go to, So I'm really excited about that one. But
I'm with you. The Super Mario one looks so cool
and feel like you're in a video game exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah, that's the whole I think the whole object is
because they have those tunnels that you go through, and
the tunnel that you go through into the Mario world
is that green tube that you've see in the video game,
So it really makes you feel like you immerse yourself
into And they do a great job too of putting
things up high enough to where it feels like you're
not even in Florida anymore. You're in whatever land that
they put you in, because everything's just so high in
the sky and the architecture is amazing. I'm also excited
(03:45):
for the the the what do they call it, the
one with all their villains like Dracula and Frankenstein they have.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I think it's villain World.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, because that for me, I always loved Halloween horn
Nits and so to get a tamer but also really
cool version first Ark Universe, ye had to get that
year round. That's pretty freaking cool and also genius. And
also when they do Hollway Hornet's it's probably gonna be
insane that part.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Of the theme park, yeah, and then the other part
of Celestial Park, which is probably gonna be super cool
and just super like pretty and fancy celestial.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Oh, that looks kind of like that reminds me of
old school Islands of Adventure, which had this kind of
like had that kind of a vibe to it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I wonder what's gonna be in there.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I know, I don't know what exactly they're gonna put
in there, but it just to me looks like it's
gonna be the bougie one, Like it's gonna look pretty,
you're gonna feel really cool in it, but then you're
gonna go to the others and they're gonna be like
the fun Maybe that's.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
The entrance one where you walk in, like you know,
there's always like like a mainstream USA type thing that
could be the entrance to the park.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Because there's only four worlds, it's a.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Step into a lush, green world where thrills, entertainment, dining,
and shopping lead all who enter on an exhilarating journey
of discovery.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yes, I hear dining and shopping, and I hear entrance
or like kind of like a city walk extension type thing,
which is gonna be really cool, I'm sure. But yeah,
the tenor world's going they're all really cool. Excited for
any one of those, I know, I.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Want to be able to go, Hey, but what we
talked about, you know my little moment?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, you being friends of somebody at Disney.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, so maybe this is our moment.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So I need to know what are your top three
that you'd want to be friends with. I don't know, Disney.
I need the top three, so I have to pitch
the top three.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, let me see. Well, because the all the marvel
ones are in California.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, but they always do some sort of crossover at
Disney World. They may have a uh you never know,
like that, what do they call them?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I also love Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, star Wars. The definitely have Star Wars there. Yeah,
love to.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Let me holda Let me make sure I'm saying the name,
because Princess Lea would be cool. But I don't think
they dress up as Princess le anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, they do that one girl, he's a rogue one.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, what's her name?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Star Wars it's having rogue one and then it'll be
that main chick and there she's awesome jin or so.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
But they also do one with what's the latest Star
Wars one? Like the newest newest movies. Sorry, guys, we're googled,
we got Star Wars? Is it the Last Joy? Maybe?
I thought it was, Well, you know what I'm talking
about it she's Burnett.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's about Nillie Portman, the queen from the one, two
and three.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh here she is the Rise of Skywalker. And her
name is why can't I think of it? Oh? Her?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yes, Kylo Wren color Ren's the bad guy dude. Yeah,
her name is Ray Rays also in Worlgue one too,
isn't she? Or that's a different girl?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
No? Different girls, very similar they do. They both have
burnette hair. They have similar kind of very pretty faces,
very pretty faces. Yeah, love to be Ray.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
That'd be really cookay, and they definitely I've seen her there,
Raise raised one written Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, and we're gonna focus on disney World because is
a different.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, it's easier to get to Disney World for us
two as well for travel and then the connection and everything.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, so Ray would be number one, Ray one. Two
would be Cinderella, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Okay, and that's pretty that's superclassic.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, I love a classic. And then maybe three would
be Chewbacca.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Chewbacca not tall enough for Chewbacca. Did you beat Chabacca's
kid could.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Be so you bet e walk then yeah, so you
have one of the little ewoks.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, I don't think they have those those.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm gonna nothing they do, or they may. If they don't, then.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
They have Chewbacca. But I don't think they have an
e walk.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
No, you could beat Chiwaka as like little toy or kid.
It would be kind of cool to me to do
a kid Chewbacca.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It's like his child.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
What would you sound like it? Chewbacca's like he's louder.
I do it again.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I messed it up as I was doing it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Or you could be They could put you in the
R two D two suit.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I was R two D two in a play there
you go.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
See your short enough you can get in there. They
definitely have R two D two I know.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Let me think I'm the third one.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
You could be R two D two and I could
be C three p O. That'd be pretty awesome machinery.
That'd be really cool, right, come on?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
We can also double whammy. Yeah go over to universal.
Oh my gosh, yeah, we promote everything.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Boom boom boom boom. You just do it all. That'd
be really really.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Cool, I know, okay, okay, manifesting, All right, here we go,
get back to you my number three okay, yeah for sure,
Ray and Cinderella.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Ray, Cinerella and then TVD number three. Okay, cool, Like
at Lea's get the ball rolling with those two. Those
are obviously there, they exist. They are like quintessential to Disney.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Okay, all right, cool, Yeah, those are my first ones,
so we might have our first way of making this happen.
Yeah yeah, okay, I like it, and then he can
totally geek out. Anyways, how's life, How's dad life? What's
going on?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Dad life is busy, And now we're in the state
of education and all that because it's kind of changing
a little bit, so we're worried about public versus private.
So that's my wife's biggest stress right now is figuring
out what we want to do. And I like the
public school system in the sense of I went there
and I understand there are problems and there's pros and
cons that anything in life. But I like where he's
at now because he goes to a school where English
(08:36):
is a second language. There's a lot of kids that
speak Spanish or other languages, and I like it in
the sense that it's really cool to see him. He
learns really fast, and obviously he speaks English, so he
gravitates to it faster and quicker, and it's cool to
see where he'll tell me stories of where he teaches
other kids that are in his class and he helps them.
So not only is he learning it, but then he's
double learning it because he's then teaching it to other
(08:58):
kids who are asking him for help that he that
our friends at his table or whatever. So it's really
sticking in his head because he learns it and then
teaches it, which is you know, I think my studies
have said that that's the way to really understand information
is to take it in and then tell it to somebody.
So he's a really good at math and reading and writing.
He like will sit there, he's seven years old. He'll
sit there in our bedroom while we're waiting, you know,
(09:20):
wait for everyone to take their showers and baths, and
he's down there in his notebook and writing a story
about the bird.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Came to my house.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The bird sat down and his name like writing a story,
and I'm like, oh my god, this is so cool.
So he's really great at it, and so I worry
by taking him to a private school if he will
then lose that because there it's a little different. It's
even smaller classrooms, and most kids are all on his
level or higher or in the same space.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So I worry that would be a thing.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But then I also worry about where we are in
the state of where things are, where there's a lot
of funding being pulled from public schools and then it's
being put into private schools where they don't really need
funding because they get their people pay to go there,
so there's really no point money. Yeah, there's no point
to give something money that already gets money from the
people who go there, and people also who go there.
They they don't neate money, they don't need money, and
they do charities and events to get even more money.
(10:07):
They don't need more money coming that way. The money
needs to go to public schools where they don't get
any money. That it comes from us, so we can
we pay. I like to pay for it because I
know it's paying for my kids education and other kids education,
So I have no problem with my tax money going
to pay for a school system that's what it was
there for, and I'm okay with that. So that's my
biggest struggle right now with the kids is what do
we do do we just we have to just succumb
(10:28):
to it and be like, well, this is what they're
doing for the next few years. We have to just
sit them a private school, or do we say, now,
screw it, we'll suck it up, tough it out. But
then I don't want it to be at the expense
of my kid. But I also feel like crap because
the other kids are going to be even further behind
because of funding and the way things are.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Guys have a whole situation happening right now. Really yeah
for parents, Yeah, I've been seeing.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That happen so and we live in a state Tennessee.
I don't only get too much at it where you
don't really have a choice, so they just make the
rules for you. Just roll with it way, okay, cool,
Whereas before I lived.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
In a bubble and it was a little different and
it was more thought about the people who are in
the constituents. We are the we are the country, and
it should be of our best interests, and some things
are and a lot of things are not.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So yeah, that's that's the crapy part.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Right now, we're at his parents and some people don't
understand because they enough kids, and I get it, but
you have nieces and nephews or your.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Friends have kids, and my sisters are in the education system,
and I know a lot of what's happening, and it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It is so for educators. I feel for kids. I
feel for parents, like it's a crazy time right now.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, because it's just common sense and knowledge is power,
and when you hold knowledge from people, you take away
people's power to learn and to understand and have perspective
in life. And you know, and even before all this
standardized testing was crap because kids had to learn to
a test, so it was all about memorization, which is great,
but you're memorizing a test to pass a test to
(11:50):
get funding.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So there was some broken stuff in there.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Where really it should be kids should be taught things
that they should just be taught, not to a certain test. Yeah,
you can test the kids and make sure there's certain
things you have to work into the curriculum and make
sure they understand the basics of the ABC's and all
that crap. I get that, but like to but to
make the whole curriculum to be about. Like in US,
in Florida, we had this thing called the FCAT. I
don't know if it exists anymore, but it was like
a Florida standardized test where the teachers pretty much spent
(12:14):
the majority of their time making sure they passed that
test because if their class got high numbers, they got,
you know, incentives, and the school got incentives, which is
fine to a certain degree, you should teach those things,
but it became the only focus was making sure we
passed that test versus other things in school that we
should have been learning and focused on in which we did,
but it was a much smaller focus for us, where
(12:35):
the larger focus was passing the standardized testing, which wasn't
fair for the teachers. So I could see that whole
thing being like, well there's a system flaw. Well then
that's why you take it and you look at it
and you fix it. You don't just eliminate it, you
don't just smother it. You just figure how you can
figure it.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You're for us, apparently, to just get rid of things
and yeah, start brand new instead of just learning to
adjust and navigate and change things to be better. Yeah. Yeah,
it's a wild time right now.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I hate that that's what's happening. But hopefully, yeah, I'll
just hope that good things are going to happen and
the kids can stay in the public education system and
it keeps going good because I also had a public education.
But speaking to the standardized testing side of things, that's
why so much of my memory sucks because all I
did was memorize everything for a test.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So you had a version of that in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, I don't remember what it was called, but like
we would just always so much of our testing was
like comprehensive, so you'd have to memorize all these things
and then you never use it again. So like I'd
memorized to get my at yeah exactly, yeah, and then
I'm moving on to something new. So like my whole
memory was never like keeping things to retain the information.
(13:47):
It was keeping it so I could pass the test and.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Then and move on yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah. So that's that's how my brain works now. So
that's why half the time I suck it easy for
I'm like, I know, I learned that I should not
retain it.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It wasted.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Critical thinking is so much more important and education on
where we started and where we are and where we
can go is important.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Music is important. Music.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's completely my son. The school he goes to now,
they have this amazing, awesome, fantastic music school area with
all these instruments and a whole hall and everything, and
they don't have a music class because they don't have a
music teacher. So they have all these things just sitting there.
And they have an art class, which is cool and
thank god they at least have that, But we're a
music city and they don't have a teacher. And if
(14:28):
I were someone that was extremely music, like if I
was a songwriter or something, and my kids went there, like, yeah,
I'll volunteer my time twice once or twice a week
just to give these kids these.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Things that are just collecting dust.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And you're like, man like, little things like that are
so important, I think for kids' brains.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
You have a lot of educators that don't want to
be in that field right now.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I knows much what's happening. Yeah, and it's sad.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, pushing out good people who really want to make
a change, And at some point you just get so
burnt out by you're like I just can't do this
anymore and it's not good for their mental health. And
they're like, well this really sucks. I fought as long
as I could, and I feel like they're just letting
go because what are they.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Going to do now?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, and they have to go and change jobs is something
that they don't actually want to do. But yeah, exactly,
Yeah he can actually make money.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And yeah, my Uber driver was we had I had
an Uber driver about a few weeks ago. We were
coming back from somewhere and he pointed to some high school.
He goes, oh, I used to teach there. And I
was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I taught chemistry there. And
I was like, oh my gosh. He's like, yeah, he
came from Lebanon, not leban in the city, but Lebanon
the country. Came from Lebanon over here, and he learned
English by watching TV and from his parents and all
these things. And he got his you know, he got
his master's degree, his doctorate.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Like he's super super smart. And he was teaching there.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
He's like, but it wasn't worth it because the pay
sucked and the kids didn't want to learn and everyone's
dicking around their phones and then no one's held accountable
for anything, and the school is just kind of falling apart.
And he really tried to but there's just he's like,
but it's not worth the money. He I make more
money driving you around than I did teaching kids, and
he goes. But I loved it, he goes, I loved
it so much. So I loved, you know, educating the
(15:54):
future of America. But it just wasn't set up for
me to continue doing it. And I was like, damn,
that's that sucks. And he was a smart dude, and
I was like talking to him, I was like, well,
this is a this is somebody you need in the
public school system. This is somebody who really truly and
we even told him like, hey, dude, I know it sucks,
but private school is hiring, so you should definitely look
at that and they'll pay you more and you.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Can continue to educate kids.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
But he's he's seen them more like want to help
kids who really, like really needed the help.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And I was like, and I understood that, but yeah,
I was like, dang, do you lease people like that?
You know?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I know that's what Yeah, Okay, we're going to take
a quick break.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
That was a donor come back at a higher note.
We will.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
We'll come back with some fun topics. We had our
little Disney moment, a rant moment, and now we'll be okay,
no more rants or Disney talk or universal talk. We're
moving on to some other things.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, you can't make any promises. Well know what'sna leaders too? Well, Yeah,
we'll do our absolute best.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, we're gonna try. I want to know something from
you because I have recently learned from somebody new in
my life who's telling me that I use an old
school word very frequently, okay, that they haven't heard until
I started using it all the time. And I use
bamboozled a lot o bamboozled. Okay, I've been bamboozled, Like,
don't bamboozle me. It's become a very significant part of
(17:10):
my language for some reason. Can't tell you where?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
When?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
How are why?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Okay, but it's an old school word that is now
in my new language of today. Do you use any
old school vocabulary terms.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
There was a time when we used to use the
word buffoon, like buffoonery or buffoon.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's some buffoonery, Oh you buffoon?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I think buffoon is kind of like I don't even
know where the root of it is, but it's just
it's such an old like time.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Classic that is.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And you know, are you the one in reason why
we started doing buffoon or what is that on the show?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh? Yeah yeah buffoon?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah yeah, I cann't remember.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The other side of buffoon that maybe one of tho
things right, texted Lunchbox like, hey you say this.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It's possible you got inserted it onto the show. Isn't
weird though? How words like will come and go life
and you're like, oh, I haven't heard that one for
a long time, and then it just becomes part of
your like weigen and then some.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Of them are like, oh, there's a reason why that
one's gone.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, Like I'm like, yeah, we don't say that one anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I know I shouldn't even say it back then, but
but some people did, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And look at both of ours, both storting with bees.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And a bamboozle buffoon.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Bamboozle buffoon.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I have just like a OCD that if my shoes
are untied, I just have to tie them. But I
can't tie them the way I like to tie them.
My wife ties them for me. So so so also
pivoting on a Bobby Bone show segment. Things that you
can't do as an adult, but you should know how
to do for me. It's tie my shoes. I can
tie my shoes, but my wife ties them for me.
The factory tie, you know, the factory tie has like
(18:39):
this like yeah, it's not here because it came undone.
But the factory tie is like that where it's like
a it's like a loop looking thing.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
You know how to do the factory Yes, she.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Could do the factory tie, so I saw. I'm always like,
can tell my shoes for me? And then public people
are always like, what the hell? Why is your how
old are you?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You have three children? You can't tie your own shoes?
Can your kids tyler shoes?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I was gonna say, did you teach your kids how
tyler shoes? Or did she?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
She did?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, I could do like the old school where you
do like the bunny ears of the loop swoop po
or whatever. I could do all that, like that's no problem,
but I like him as the factory tie that she
can do that I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, I don't think anybody ever taught me the factory tie.
I don't think anyone teaches you that you have paint
or fingernail polish on your fingers.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Oh yeah, my middle child, my daughter. She it was
a day of me saying a lot of nose and
then at the end of the day she was like,
can I.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Paint your nails?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
And I was like, I said no, so so many things,
and I was like, all right, fine, So I put
my hand out and she started painting my nails and
she just takes and just mashes the crap out of it,
and your nails and it was the full nail and
now it's they starting to fade. And I just wanted
to show her that, like I kept it on to
be like, look, see I kept it on.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You did it for me, And here it is, So.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
You're telling me you could keep fingernail polish on, but
lunchbox and wear a bracelet.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Yeah, making sure exactly ye yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
exactly what what you thought is what happened. Yes, I
don't care. Then she made me a bracelet one time
and I've worn it because it's just like it doesn't
really matter who cares. And I saw some guy here
in the building. He I went to get him, like DAPs.
He saw my fingernails, and I was like, oh, no,
he's gonna say something. And he goes, you have a daughter, huh,
I think I have.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He goes, I've got one as well, and so he's
like so it's like an understanding of like you just
kind of do whatever. Who cares.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's so true. I'm pretty sure I put my dad
through the gambit of whether it was like dressing up
as princesses or having tea time. Oh. I also always
put on shows.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I would always put on the clothes, like my new clothes.
I'd come home huh. If my mom went and bought
me some new stuff. I'd come home, like, Dad, sit down,
I have and I'd like show him all my clothes.
That's cool. Yeah, yeah, I just know now about looking back.
He's like, what am I doing? Why?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But then he looks back now and goes, oh, and
now I know why I did it, because those moments
you cannot get back, and once you once you once
you say no or you've gone away from it, then
it becomes a point of they get older and they'd
become adults and they don't really care anymore, and it's
a different kind dynamic and relationship. And I think that
having those small little moments when their kids is so
important to try to embrace it and be there and
(20:51):
be present and really enjoy.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
It, okay, because it also means so much to the kids. Yea,
the fact that I remember that my dad would sit
on the couch and let me do a fashion.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
So you remember it, So it's a core memory for you.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
It is.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
We go like wife and I would go in to
some things and like, oh this has told you'd be
a core memory kind of day because of what happened
or what we did or whatever. Like to us, it's
just it's just another thing or another whatever. But for
them it's like, oh my god, I remember that one
time the fashion show, or I painted your nails. Are
we chucked on that tree or whatever it was? So yeah,
so I look through life that way.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Now, what do you think are your core memories like
your top ones?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I have a lot of bad ones, Okay. Core memories
are are good?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Okay, because I'm thinking like inside out and she preserves
a really greatalgy core memories. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's like
we have to focus and you do have bad core memories.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
But I'm thinking inside out where she literally like stops
the bad core memories and she just focuses on the
good core memories. So, like, what's one or two that
come to mind for you?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I think my one of my great core memories is,
I think one just being a kid and being able
to go outside and us rollerblading or riding bikes in
our cul de sac, playing five hundred, you know the
football like.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Two hundred surprise box you will play.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
That like that, those kind of things, and just playing
in our cul de sac and being kids, and all
those memories like collected into one core memory. Another one
which kind of led me into I think was the
inception of me being interested in being behind a microphone
was when I was I think I may have told
the story here, but I don't know. Is my brother
(22:20):
he played baseball, and I played baseball, but I didn't
pursue it nearly as long as he did, Like I stopped.
I think after like first or second grade. I'm like not,
I like basketball. I don't really care about this. My brother, though,
he played, and there's four of us, and my grandfather
was into it and he would take us all there
to watch my brother practice or play basketball or so
I played baseball the games and we'd all be there
and in the middle of this place. This is Central
(22:41):
Winds Park in Winter Springs, Florida. If anyone is listening,
I was like, Oh, I know where that's at, Sin Orlando.
And they had like four baseball fields and in the
middle was this like massive looking siloed tower looking thing,
and it had windows all around it and up there
and no one ever went up there, but they had
a scoreboard. Every field had scoreboards, and it had the
PA system. It was fully hooked up to be almost
(23:02):
like a real game with everything going. It was really nice. Fields.
There were brand newish and I remember seeing that silo
and I was like, like, man, no one's ever up there,
but no one ever, no one ever keeps score. And
it just bothered me that we never knew what the
score was or as many balls or strikes or outs
or what any it was. It always irked me, and
I'm like, God, there's gotta be some way to get
to this, to connect to it. I wonder where it is,
(23:23):
and I think this is just my personality always is
like just ask questions later and figured out yourself kind
of thing and don't act like, you don't know what's
going I just just just go.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So someone tells you can't go.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I noticed at the bottom of the silo is
a concession stand, and then around the backside there's a
door that I've never seen open.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I've never tried it.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So I was walked up to it and I pulled
on it and it opened, and I was like, oh,
And I see stairs, and I'm like, oh, I bet
those stairs go up to the top where everything's at.
So I go up the stairs, walk up to the top.
And as a kid, this is this It feels scary
and eerie and creepy, and you're like, oh my god,
I'm supposed to be here. But as an adult you're like,
you just go up there to do your thing. But
no one ever went up there, no one ever did anything.
So I go up the stairs up there and I
look around. Oh my gosh, it's all of the booths
(24:03):
for each of the games. And in each one of
those things that has a little microphone. You push a
button on it you can like talk into it, like
you know now abouting. And then there's a little thing
next to with all the little buttons to change the scoreboard.
And so I walked up there one day and I
was like, oh my god, well there's my brother's field
and the game had just started, so I was like, ah,
screw it. And so my brother was batting first because
(24:23):
he's like one of the best. I would usually start
with him, and I just I didn't know it worked
because I have no idea. So I pushed the button
I go now batting, and I said his name and
his number, and then all of a sudden people were
like looking around. And then I put the score up,
with the score up, and I followed his balls and strikes,
and this was like maybway through the season. And then
I came down to the end of the game because
then I did the whole thing I did. I did
everyone's walk out. I kept the score and everything, and
(24:47):
I felt the energy of the game change because now
parents can see the score, parents can see how many
balls and strikes and what ending it is, and there's interaction,
there's somebody talking and saying something, and all the other
games are super quiet. And then it's one of those
things where you don't like radio, you do the show,
you walk out, like did anyone hear that?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Did that? Even happen existed.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Yeah, yeah, it may just only been in my head
because I was like ten eleven years old and I
walked down the stairs and I come down, and also too,
it's like my grandfather wasn't like, where's where Steven at?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He wasn't worried about it.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
No, he wasn't, or maybe you heard my voice of it,
and he's like, it's pretty cool, and then let him be,
let him be.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, it's what.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I come down and it's like one of those moments
where everyone's like standing around there and they'll turn around
and I'll.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Go yeah, And I was.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Like what, Like that was so cool? And then someone
was like, dude, how old are you? And I said
I'm eleven. He's like, oh my god, can you do
that for our game? And I was like, well, my grandfa,
we have we have to go. I'm just here for
my brother's game. And so then I did all of
my brother's games for the remainder of that season. I
would go up there and I would announce him and
I would do the score and everything, and I was like,
this is so freaking cool.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
That was your first That was you planting a seed
that would involve microphones exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yes, yeah, And now fast forward to I'm looking at
where we are currently, and I've always wanted to.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I thought it'd be so cool. But we don't live
in a town where there is an NBA team, and
I could do other sports and maybe in or even baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We don't. We have a minor league, but not really
major league, but.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
In the minor league, I.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Guess we could. Yeah, but I've always wanted to do
the PA announcing for either baseball or for basketball. Basketball
be really cool.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah, Baseball would be cool just because it's the full
circle moment, but I think basketball would be unreal. It's
my real that's my huge love. And then Orlanto Magic.
You know, that guy was my inspiration because he was
so animated and so awesome, and he just got the
news after thirty six years the team's in around from
day one, he's been there since the start in eighty nine,
that he is retiring and they now are no longer
(26:42):
going to have a voice person for the Orlando Magic.
And I was like, oh my, I saw the video
of like them retiring.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Him and giving him a jersey. His name is Paul
Porter and he had been doing this since day one.
And I'm like, oh my god, that to me, there's
an opening in Orlando to be the PA guy.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I don't live there, but like, man, that'd be so
cool to be able to announce for the Orlando MAK
my favorite team, and to do this.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
But they're not doing it anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
They're still gonna have something. They're gonna you know, how
the process goes. They probably have somebody in line that's
been the backup.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But you said they weren't going to do a voice,
and they there was something, oh that he was retired,
going to have a voice for the time being.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yes, So so he's retiring at the end of the season,
Paul Porters. So at the end of the season, he
will be done. If they go to the they do
the playoffs, and however far they go, he'll do it.
Condition for it, I know, I just know how to crap.
There's already someone in line.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
But you're always gonna be mad if you never if
you didn't try it.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, it's true. It's a good point. Yeah, there is.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Always the one percent chance that you do beat everybody out.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Yeah, I just I just know how logistics of the
politics that it may happen.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
You can't focus on that because if you somebody else
gets hired and they stay there for thirty years, you're
never going to have a chance. But at at least
when you did have the chance, you took it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, it's a good point. Okay, you know what I mean? Like, yes, yes,
you don't.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Know is the reality? Yeah? Probably, But there's also the
reality that you could get it, I know.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Yeah, and then i'd move there and mornings in Orlando
and have this Orlanto Magic gig on the side and
then go to Disney and stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I give you pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, so I don't think you don't reply Okay, Okay,
like Lunchboks with yes, he didn't get the D game,
but like he tried it.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah it's true.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Now at least he knows that he did put an
effort in for it.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But now I need to find that the gig's not
posted anywhere yet. He just announced it. So either the
Orlanta Magic if you hear me, reach out. I'm wearing
black and blue shoes right now.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Okay, somebody in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Somebody in the NBA it's here and listening to this
as anything, Please give me a chance at least put
together a demo or go there. I'd love to go
there and do like a audition, like just do one
quarter and it starts with a demo. Well, even if
they wanted to be like, hey, what suit, it's like
it's just for just for shits and giggles. Have him
to do a preseason game and I do the intros
at the very beginning, and I do one quarter and
(28:46):
if I'm good and keep me throughout the whole game,
if like hey that was great or we're flying, we're good,
and they bring in the other guy that they want
to do it, do it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
But I would love to have the opportunity to do that.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
You see it gets posted or somebody hears you have
to apply. You have to. This is a no brainer.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I know it is. It'd be so freaking cool.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Do it.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I'm gonna hold you to it, Okay, next best mins,
I want to know if you found the job posting.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Anything about it?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Anything, okay, all right, cool, I'll hold you to it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I hold me to it. Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
While you were talking about that, it reminded me of
like my the first core memory that popped up in
my brain because you have so many, right, there's so yeah,
but this is the one that popped up for me.
My parents took me to Maui for a vacation, which
Hawaii beautiful, only it's the only time I've been in
my life. Oh wow, okay trip, and I'd love to
go back. But I was in like eighth grade, so
(29:36):
you were conscious.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I knew that you knew you're going to Maui, like
we're going Hawaii, Oh my god? Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And I remember a lot of it, but this particular moment,
they woke us up at the buck crack of.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Dawn, like one of those.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
So early right now, this is vacation. It was like
five am. Some wasn't even out, and we pile in
this rented jeep. Okay, tops off. This is where I
fell in love with jeeps, by the way, okay, and
I'm like, what are we gonna do? We did the
Road to.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Hannah, Oh nice, okay, and the.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Top down jeep the entire day. Luke Bryan had just
put out his spring break album First One, okay, And
so we're jamming to Luke Bryan's new album Top Down
like Hills Mountains.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
What do you common mountains basically. Yeah, you have a mountain.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Side mountains of Hawaii and they're in these teeny tiny
roads and you're seeing all these beautiful places.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And I just remember that entire day being like, I
don't think anything will ever live up to this moment.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
How it started so Crappy're like, ah, get up. It's like,
by the way, Morgan, you're not driving or do anything.
It's gonna sit in the seat literally, and I'm gonna
be all doing all the driving and never Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And I was so like rumpy, and then I got
in the car was like, Okay. By the end of
the day, I was exhausted. But this is the coolest
thing I've ever done.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah, because it's beautiful. Oh my god, it's so cool.
The whole road and everything everything about it's so lush, and.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
There's so many adrenaline moments because you're seeing crazy things
you've never seen before. Also, some of the roads are.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Wild, Yeah, pull the side while another car comes.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
It's like it's in. The bridges are narrow and.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Well there's like a waterfall coming down.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It's pretty damn cool.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Out of a movie.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, you reminded me of that when you're when you
were talking about theirs. But I have to let Scuba
Steve get out of here. You had a crazy, crazy
week on the show. Make sure you go check out
part three Scuba Thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Part three one, where it's the replay of the Bits.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Listener Q and a Listener Conversation is where they catch
up on the three listener Q and a compliment sandwich.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I see that the meat in the middle and the
buns on the outside.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
There's a strategy.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I'm your buns to your.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Best bits and the buns to me are the best part.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I agree as well. Yeah, but also McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I used to work click before we go, but I
used to work there. My favorite thing the world to
do was to take just the bread like the buns
and put it through their little heater thing and they
come out They're so soft and warm, and eat just
the bread by itself.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So delicious buttery buns.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah. See, I'll put Manai in the middle of it,
or they special sauce and eat that too.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Who it's really good, special sauce and bread.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, really, it's all it was. It was good.
You need it because it's.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, and I'm laughing because I've made some really bizarre sandwiches.
Because I don't eat meat, people look at me like
I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
We have to come up with alternatives.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, I've come up with some wild things.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
What's like, the most wildest concoction you come up with
because you don't eat meat.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
The one that people never every time I make, they
always think I'm crazy is like a it's a bagel
egg sandwich, but I put jam on it.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Oh yeah, jam is really good. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah yeah, jam is an egg. It's just top tier.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Oh it's really good.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
But every time I do it, people are like funky, No,
it's good, just try it, just hear me out. Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, there's a spot in East Naturally you've been to.
It's called Hearts. Yes, they had, they had their, they
have their Their bagels are really good and then they
have a sandwich where you can put the jelly in it.
Oh it's all freaking phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Yeah. And if you have like a like a local
spot that does it, it's yeah. Oh yeah, those are
my best one oka. But also I will do a
Everybody makes fun of me for this one I make.
It's literally just a tortilla and I put like sour
cumin chive cheese and then I roll it up.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's right, Okay, that's all right.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I know it sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, but it's good though.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
But I also recently made it healthier because I make Greek.
I take Greek yogurt, okayne, and I put ranch season
with it.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Okay, yeah, powder back.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
We ate like a Greek yogurt ranch dip, and I
put that on it, and then I put the cheese.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
I don't know if it's healthier because you got the
ranch seasoning though, but.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Like five calories okay, fifteen grams of protein, that's true.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
What about the preserves and the chemicals they put in
the ranch powder? Let me have this? Actually make it
healthier because I put rat poison in it.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
It's like, yeah, fairness, it's healthier than like the sour chi.

The Best Bits of the week with Morgan, Part one.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I hang a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What's Up? Everybody? Welcome to the Weekend. It's part one.
Super Steve is joining me. What's up? Scuba?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
So is this the first one that plays or the
second one that plays?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
First one that plays?
Speaker 4 (00:18):
I was gonna say something that was a follow up
from the first one that we recorded.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
No, I can't do that.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
You can't do that. I know, it's all it's weird.
You have a weird scales, So I gotta fit you
in where we can find.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Okay, what if for this weekend only we flipped it
and put Q and A first, and then we did
this one second.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And then when they hear this, so.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Go, oh, that's why the Q and A's first, because
he's telling the story. That's the fallout to what they
recorded first. No, No, you can't break the format.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You can't break the format.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
You gotta be fluid. We're in radio. People like consistency, yeah,
but sometimes you gotta like change it.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
No, if there's anything I've figured out about our listener.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Makes sense though, but the listeners will understand if you
had to flip it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Okay, We're missing a lot of conversations right now.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Okay, a right, sorry listeners, you'll have to get the
story in about a month and a half. My next time,
I want the best bits.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Fall up to something that we talked about.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah. We Yeah, it's okay, it's fine, it's cool, it's
more about it's all good.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Oh my god, you're stressing me out.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I'm not stressed out. I'm always stressed out.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Okay, well that is a problem. Yes, yeah, Anyways, we
didn't get to talk about one question, which was Chandler
in California, who wanted us to talk about Epic.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Universe in Oh yes Universal.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
She was like, which Epic Universe section are you most
excited about?
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I think my kids are excited about the How To
Train Your Dragon side. I'm really excited to see the
Mario side because it's the first, like really big expansive
Mario world. Because they have the one in Hollywood and
it's a really it's cool, but it's a smaller portion
of It's almost like a food court sample size of what.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It can be.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Do they have one in Japan?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Japan? I have one too. I don't know how big
theirs is.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I feel like there is probably really cool.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, I'm sure, yeah, because that's where it was made.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah. I feel like they like made it all out there.
So this will be at the first big.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
One for yeah, for America. Yeah, I'm so excited to
go see it.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I wish we I wish we were one of those
shows that did the broadcast, because they always invite shows
across the country, especially art, we would get the We
would one hundred percent get the invite because they reached
a large population that travels to Orlando and it's thinking, oh,
should I go to Universe. Well I listened to Steve
or whoever the Bybone show and they were there and
they had a great time.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I'm going anyways, I digress.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I wish we could do that because it would do that.
We would do it. You and I would go and
we'd get there.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh my god. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Because Disney when ever time they would have a new ride,
or they are them in for a particular holiday, like
you know, whether it be I think Christmas is a
big one or they're not so scary Halloween, they always
invite shows to go there and broadcast for a couple
of days, and they put you up in a hotel
and then you get to go to the parks and
you get cool fun access and you talk about it
and it's so much fun because you're there. But I
don't know, that's a dream of mind to be able
to actually be able to do one of those.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I still think we should try and make it happen.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I know that Beginniverse one is coming upough, because that's
like now if they're opening up I think May twenty third.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Or at the end of May man.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And it looks so cool.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
The one I'm so excited about is Ministry of Magic.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Okay, that's the Harry Potter one. Yes, because they're spending
that it's going to be even going to be three worlds. Now,
that's so cool.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
And I'm so excited because when I went to the
other ones, I totally geeked out. I could have spent
a whole weekend just hanging out in Harry Potter Land
doing both those.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Back and forth in Islands and the Universal Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
So now I'm like, oh, I got another one to
go to, So I'm really excited about that one. But
I'm with you. The Super Mario one looks so cool
and feel like you're in a video game exactly.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Yeah, that's the whole I think the whole object is
because they have those tunnels that you go through, and
the tunnel that you go through into the Mario world
is that green tube that you've see in the video game,
So it really makes you feel like you immerse yourself
into And they do a great job too of putting
things up high enough to where it feels like you're
not even in Florida anymore. You're in whatever land that
they put you in, because everything's just so high in
the sky and the architecture is amazing. I'm also excited
(03:45):
for the the the what do they call it, the
one with all their villains like Dracula and Frankenstein they have.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I think it's villain World.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Yeah, because that for me, I always loved Halloween horn
Nits and so to get a tamer but also really
cool version first Ark Universe, ye had to get that
year round. That's pretty freaking cool and also genius. And
also when they do Hollway Hornet's it's probably gonna be
insane that part.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Of the theme park, yeah, and then the other part
of Celestial Park, which is probably gonna be super cool
and just super like pretty and fancy celestial.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Oh, that looks kind of like that reminds me of
old school Islands of Adventure, which had this kind of
like had that kind of a vibe to it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I wonder what's gonna be in there.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I know, I don't know what exactly they're gonna put
in there, but it just to me looks like it's
gonna be the bougie one, Like it's gonna look pretty,
you're gonna feel really cool in it, but then you're
gonna go to the others and they're gonna be like
the fun Maybe that's.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
The entrance one where you walk in, like you know,
there's always like like a mainstream USA type thing that
could be the entrance to the park.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Because there's only four worlds, it's a.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Step into a lush, green world where thrills, entertainment, dining,
and shopping lead all who enter on an exhilarating journey
of discovery.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
Yes, I hear dining and shopping, and I hear entrance
or like kind of like a city walk extension type thing,
which is gonna be really cool, I'm sure. But yeah,
the tenor world's going they're all really cool. Excited for
any one of those, I know, I.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Want to be able to go, Hey, but what we
talked about, you know my little moment?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, you being friends of somebody at Disney.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, so maybe this is our moment.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So I need to know what are your top three
that you'd want to be friends with. I don't know, Disney.
I need the top three, so I have to pitch
the top three.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah, let me see. Well, because the all the marvel
ones are in California.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, but they always do some sort of crossover at
Disney World. They may have a uh you never know,
like that, what do they call them?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I also love Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, star Wars. The definitely have Star Wars there. Yeah,
love to.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Let me holda Let me make sure I'm saying the name,
because Princess Lea would be cool. But I don't think
they dress up as Princess le anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
No, they do that one girl, he's a rogue one.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, what's her name?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Star Wars it's having rogue one and then it'll be
that main chick and there she's awesome jin or so.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
But they also do one with what's the latest Star
Wars one? Like the newest newest movies. Sorry, guys, we're googled,
we got Star Wars? Is it the Last Joy? Maybe?
I thought it was, Well, you know what I'm talking
about it she's Burnett.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
It's about Nillie Portman, the queen from the one, two
and three.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Oh here she is the Rise of Skywalker. And her
name is why can't I think of it? Oh? Her?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yes, Kylo Wren color Ren's the bad guy dude. Yeah,
her name is Ray Rays also in Worlgue one too,
isn't she? Or that's a different girl?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
No? Different girls, very similar they do. They both have
burnette hair. They have similar kind of very pretty faces,
very pretty faces. Yeah, love to be Ray.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
That'd be really cookay, and they definitely I've seen her there,
Raise raised one written Star Wars.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, and we're gonna focus on disney World because is
a different.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Yeah, it's easier to get to Disney World for us
two as well for travel and then the connection and everything.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Yeah, so Ray would be number one, Ray one. Two
would be Cinderella, Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Okay, and that's pretty that's superclassic.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, I love a classic. And then maybe three would
be Chewbacca.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Chewbacca not tall enough for Chewbacca. Did you beat Chabacca's
kid could.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Be so you bet e walk then yeah, so you
have one of the little ewoks.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, I don't think they have those those.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I'm gonna nothing they do, or they may. If they don't, then.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
They have Chewbacca. But I don't think they have an
e walk.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
No, you could beat Chiwaka as like little toy or kid.
It would be kind of cool to me to do
a kid Chewbacca.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
It's like his child.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
What would you sound like it? Chewbacca's like he's louder.
I do it again.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
I messed it up as I was doing it.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Or you could be They could put you in the
R two D two suit.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
I was R two D two in a play there
you go.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
See your short enough you can get in there. They
definitely have R two D two I know.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Let me think I'm the third one.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
You could be R two D two and I could
be C three p O. That'd be pretty awesome machinery.
That'd be really cool, right, come on?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
We can also double whammy. Yeah go over to universal.
Oh my gosh, yeah, we promote everything.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Boom boom boom boom. You just do it all. That'd
be really really.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Cool, I know, okay, okay, manifesting, All right, here we go,
get back to you my number three okay, yeah for sure,
Ray and Cinderella.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Ray, Cinerella and then TVD number three. Okay, cool, Like
at Lea's get the ball rolling with those two. Those
are obviously there, they exist. They are like quintessential to Disney.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Okay, all right, cool, Yeah, those are my first ones,
so we might have our first way of making this happen.
Yeah yeah, okay, I like it, and then he can
totally geek out. Anyways, how's life, How's dad life? What's
going on?
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Dad life is busy, And now we're in the state
of education and all that because it's kind of changing
a little bit, so we're worried about public versus private.
So that's my wife's biggest stress right now is figuring
out what we want to do. And I like the
public school system in the sense of I went there
and I understand there are problems and there's pros and
cons that anything in life. But I like where he's
at now because he goes to a school where English
(08:36):
is a second language. There's a lot of kids that
speak Spanish or other languages, and I like it in
the sense that it's really cool to see him. He
learns really fast, and obviously he speaks English, so he
gravitates to it faster and quicker, and it's cool to
see where he'll tell me stories of where he teaches
other kids that are in his class and he helps them.
So not only is he learning it, but then he's
double learning it because he's then teaching it to other
(08:58):
kids who are asking him for help that he that
our friends at his table or whatever. So it's really
sticking in his head because he learns it and then
teaches it, which is you know, I think my studies
have said that that's the way to really understand information
is to take it in and then tell it to somebody.
So he's a really good at math and reading and writing.
He like will sit there, he's seven years old. He'll
sit there in our bedroom while we're waiting, you know,
(09:20):
wait for everyone to take their showers and baths, and
he's down there in his notebook and writing a story
about the bird.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Came to my house.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
The bird sat down and his name like writing a story,
and I'm like, oh my god, this is so cool.
So he's really great at it, and so I worry
by taking him to a private school if he will
then lose that because there it's a little different. It's
even smaller classrooms, and most kids are all on his
level or higher or in the same space.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
So I worry that would be a thing.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
But then I also worry about where we are in
the state of where things are, where there's a lot
of funding being pulled from public schools and then it's
being put into private schools where they don't really need
funding because they get their people pay to go there,
so there's really no point money. Yeah, there's no point
to give something money that already gets money from the
people who go there, and people also who go there.
They they don't neate money, they don't need money, and
they do charities and events to get even more money.
(10:07):
They don't need more money coming that way. The money
needs to go to public schools where they don't get
any money. That it comes from us, so we can
we pay. I like to pay for it because I
know it's paying for my kids education and other kids education,
So I have no problem with my tax money going
to pay for a school system that's what it was
there for, and I'm okay with that. So that's my
biggest struggle right now with the kids is what do
we do do we just we have to just succumb
(10:28):
to it and be like, well, this is what they're
doing for the next few years. We have to just
sit them a private school, or do we say, now,
screw it, we'll suck it up, tough it out. But
then I don't want it to be at the expense
of my kid. But I also feel like crap because
the other kids are going to be even further behind
because of funding and the way things are.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
So, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Guys have a whole situation happening right now. Really yeah
for parents, Yeah, I've been seeing.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
That happen so and we live in a state Tennessee.
I don't only get too much at it where you
don't really have a choice, so they just make the
rules for you. Just roll with it way, okay, cool,
Whereas before I lived.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
In a bubble and it was a little different and
it was more thought about the people who are in
the constituents. We are the we are the country, and
it should be of our best interests, and some things
are and a lot of things are not.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
So yeah, that's that's the crapy part.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Right now, we're at his parents and some people don't
understand because they enough kids, and I get it, but
you have nieces and nephews or your.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Friends have kids, and my sisters are in the education system,
and I know a lot of what's happening, and it's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
It sucks.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
It is so for educators. I feel for kids. I
feel for parents, like it's a crazy time right now.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, because it's just common sense and knowledge is power,
and when you hold knowledge from people, you take away
people's power to learn and to understand and have perspective
in life. And you know, and even before all this
standardized testing was crap because kids had to learn to
a test, so it was all about memorization, which is great,
but you're memorizing a test to pass a test to
(11:50):
get funding.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So there was some broken stuff in there.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Where really it should be kids should be taught things
that they should just be taught, not to a certain test. Yeah,
you can test the kids and make sure there's certain
things you have to work into the curriculum and make
sure they understand the basics of the ABC's and all
that crap. I get that, but like to but to
make the whole curriculum to be about. Like in US,
in Florida, we had this thing called the FCAT. I
don't know if it exists anymore, but it was like
a Florida standardized test where the teachers pretty much spent
(12:14):
the majority of their time making sure they passed that
test because if their class got high numbers, they got,
you know, incentives, and the school got incentives, which is
fine to a certain degree, you should teach those things,
but it became the only focus was making sure we
passed that test versus other things in school that we
should have been learning and focused on in which we did,
but it was a much smaller focus for us, where
(12:35):
the larger focus was passing the standardized testing, which wasn't
fair for the teachers. So I could see that whole
thing being like, well there's a system flaw. Well then
that's why you take it and you look at it
and you fix it. You don't just eliminate it, you
don't just smother it. You just figure how you can
figure it.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
You're for us, apparently, to just get rid of things
and yeah, start brand new instead of just learning to
adjust and navigate and change things to be better. Yeah. Yeah,
it's a wild time right now.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I hate that that's what's happening. But hopefully, yeah, I'll
just hope that good things are going to happen and
the kids can stay in the public education system and
it keeps going good because I also had a public education.
But speaking to the standardized testing side of things, that's
why so much of my memory sucks because all I
did was memorize everything for a test.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So you had a version of that in Kansas.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah, I don't remember what it was called, but like
we would just always so much of our testing was
like comprehensive, so you'd have to memorize all these things
and then you never use it again. So like I'd
memorized to get my at yeah exactly, yeah, and then
I'm moving on to something new. So like my whole
memory was never like keeping things to retain the information.
(13:47):
It was keeping it so I could pass the test and.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Then and move on yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Yeah. So that's that's how my brain works now. So
that's why half the time I suck it easy for
I'm like, I know, I learned that I should not
retain it.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
It wasted.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Critical thinking is so much more important and education on
where we started and where we are and where we
can go is important.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Music is important. Music.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's completely my son. The school he goes to now,
they have this amazing, awesome, fantastic music school area with
all these instruments and a whole hall and everything, and
they don't have a music class because they don't have a
music teacher. So they have all these things just sitting there.
And they have an art class, which is cool and
thank god they at least have that, But we're a
music city and they don't have a teacher. And if
(14:28):
I were someone that was extremely music, like if I
was a songwriter or something, and my kids went there, like, yeah,
I'll volunteer my time twice once or twice a week
just to give these kids these.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Things that are just collecting dust.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
And you're like, man like, little things like that are
so important, I think for kids' brains.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
You have a lot of educators that don't want to
be in that field right now.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I knows much what's happening. Yeah, and it's sad.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yeah, pushing out good people who really want to make
a change, And at some point you just get so
burnt out by you're like I just can't do this
anymore and it's not good for their mental health. And
they're like, well this really sucks. I fought as long
as I could, and I feel like they're just letting
go because what are they.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Going to do now?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, and they have to go and change jobs is something
that they don't actually want to do. But yeah, exactly,
Yeah he can actually make money.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And yeah, my Uber driver was we had I had
an Uber driver about a few weeks ago. We were
coming back from somewhere and he pointed to some high school.
He goes, oh, I used to teach there. And I
was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I taught chemistry there. And
I was like, oh my gosh. He's like, yeah, he
came from Lebanon, not leban in the city, but Lebanon
the country. Came from Lebanon over here, and he learned
English by watching TV and from his parents and all
these things. And he got his you know, he got
his master's degree, his doctorate.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Like he's super super smart. And he was teaching there.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
He's like, but it wasn't worth it because the pay
sucked and the kids didn't want to learn and everyone's
dicking around their phones and then no one's held accountable
for anything, and the school is just kind of falling apart.
And he really tried to but there's just he's like,
but it's not worth the money. He I make more
money driving you around than I did teaching kids, and
he goes. But I loved it, he goes, I loved
it so much. So I loved, you know, educating the
(15:54):
future of America. But it just wasn't set up for
me to continue doing it. And I was like, damn,
that's that sucks. And he was a smart dude, and
I was like talking to him, I was like, well,
this is a this is somebody you need in the
public school system. This is somebody who really truly and
we even told him like, hey, dude, I know it sucks,
but private school is hiring, so you should definitely look
at that and they'll pay you more and you.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Can continue to educate kids.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
But he's he's seen them more like want to help
kids who really, like really needed the help.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
And I was like, and I understood that, but yeah,
I was like, dang, do you lease people like that?
You know?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I know that's what Yeah, Okay, we're going to take
a quick break.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
That was a donor come back at a higher note.
We will.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
We'll come back with some fun topics. We had our
little Disney moment, a rant moment, and now we'll be okay,
no more rants or Disney talk or universal talk. We're
moving on to some other things.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Yeah, you can't make any promises. Well know what'sna leaders too? Well, Yeah,
we'll do our absolute best.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Yeah, we're gonna try. I want to know something from
you because I have recently learned from somebody new in
my life who's telling me that I use an old
school word very frequently, okay, that they haven't heard until
I started using it all the time. And I use
bamboozled a lot o bamboozled. Okay, I've been bamboozled, Like,
don't bamboozle me. It's become a very significant part of
(17:10):
my language for some reason. Can't tell you where?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
When?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
How are why?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Okay, but it's an old school word that is now
in my new language of today. Do you use any
old school vocabulary terms.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
There was a time when we used to use the
word buffoon, like buffoonery or buffoon.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's some buffoonery, Oh you buffoon?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I think buffoon is kind of like I don't even
know where the root of it is, but it's just
it's such an old like time.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Classic that is.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
And you know, are you the one in reason why
we started doing buffoon or what is that on the show?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh? Yeah yeah buffoon?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah yeah, I cann't remember.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The other side of buffoon that maybe one of tho
things right, texted Lunchbox like, hey you say this.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It's possible you got inserted it onto the show. Isn't
weird though? How words like will come and go life
and you're like, oh, I haven't heard that one for
a long time, and then it just becomes part of
your like weigen and then some.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Of them are like, oh, there's a reason why that
one's gone.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yeah, Like I'm like, yeah, we don't say that one anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I know I shouldn't even say it back then, but
but some people did, you know.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And look at both of ours, both storting with bees.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And a bamboozle buffoon.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Bamboozle buffoon.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I have just like a OCD that if my shoes
are untied, I just have to tie them. But I
can't tie them the way I like to tie them.
My wife ties them for me. So so so also
pivoting on a Bobby Bone show segment. Things that you
can't do as an adult, but you should know how
to do for me. It's tie my shoes. I can
tie my shoes, but my wife ties them for me.
The factory tie, you know, the factory tie has like
(18:39):
this like yeah, it's not here because it came undone.
But the factory tie is like that where it's like
a it's like a loop looking thing.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
You know how to do the factory Yes, she.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Could do the factory tie, so I saw. I'm always like,
can tell my shoes for me? And then public people
are always like, what the hell? Why is your how
old are you?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Sir?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
You have three children? You can't tie your own shoes?
Can your kids tyler shoes?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I was gonna say, did you teach your kids how
tyler shoes? Or did she?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
She did?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Well, I could do like the old school where you
do like the bunny ears of the loop swoop po
or whatever. I could do all that, like that's no problem,
but I like him as the factory tie that she
can do that I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, I don't think anybody ever taught me the factory tie.
I don't think anyone teaches you that you have paint
or fingernail polish on your fingers.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Oh yeah, my middle child, my daughter. She it was
a day of me saying a lot of nose and
then at the end of the day she was like,
can I.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Paint your nails?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
And I was like, I said no, so so many things,
and I was like, all right, fine, So I put
my hand out and she started painting my nails and
she just takes and just mashes the crap out of it,
and your nails and it was the full nail and
now it's they starting to fade. And I just wanted
to show her that, like I kept it on to
be like, look, see I kept it on.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You did it for me, And here it is, So.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
You're telling me you could keep fingernail polish on, but
lunchbox and wear a bracelet.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Yeah, making sure exactly ye yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
exactly what what you thought is what happened. Yes, I
don't care. Then she made me a bracelet one time
and I've worn it because it's just like it doesn't
really matter who cares. And I saw some guy here
in the building. He I went to get him, like DAPs.
He saw my fingernails, and I was like, oh, no,
he's gonna say something. And he goes, you have a daughter, huh,
I think I have.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
He goes, I've got one as well, and so he's
like so it's like an understanding of like you just
kind of do whatever. Who cares.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
It's so true. I'm pretty sure I put my dad
through the gambit of whether it was like dressing up
as princesses or having tea time. Oh. I also always
put on shows.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
I would always put on the clothes, like my new clothes.
I'd come home huh. If my mom went and bought
me some new stuff. I'd come home, like, Dad, sit down,
I have and I'd like show him all my clothes.
That's cool. Yeah, yeah, I just know now about looking back.
He's like, what am I doing? Why?
Speaker 4 (20:30):
But then he looks back now and goes, oh, and
now I know why I did it, because those moments
you cannot get back, and once you once you once
you say no or you've gone away from it, then
it becomes a point of they get older and they'd
become adults and they don't really care anymore, and it's
a different kind dynamic and relationship. And I think that
having those small little moments when their kids is so
important to try to embrace it and be there and
(20:51):
be present and really enjoy.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
It, okay, because it also means so much to the kids. Yea,
the fact that I remember that my dad would sit
on the couch and let me do a fashion.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
So you remember it, So it's a core memory for you.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
It is.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
We go like wife and I would go in to
some things and like, oh this has told you'd be
a core memory kind of day because of what happened
or what we did or whatever. Like to us, it's
just it's just another thing or another whatever. But for
them it's like, oh my god, I remember that one
time the fashion show, or I painted your nails. Are
we chucked on that tree or whatever it was? So yeah,
so I look through life that way.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Now, what do you think are your core memories like
your top ones?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I have a lot of bad ones, Okay. Core memories
are are good?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Okay, because I'm thinking like inside out and she preserves
a really greatalgy core memories. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's like
we have to focus and you do have bad core memories.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Yeah that's true.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
But I'm thinking inside out where she literally like stops
the bad core memories and she just focuses on the
good core memories. So, like, what's one or two that
come to mind for you?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I think my one of my great core memories is,
I think one just being a kid and being able
to go outside and us rollerblading or riding bikes in
our cul de sac, playing five hundred, you know the
football like.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Two hundred surprise box you will play.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
That like that, those kind of things, and just playing
in our cul de sac and being kids, and all
those memories like collected into one core memory. Another one
which kind of led me into I think was the
inception of me being interested in being behind a microphone
was when I was I think I may have told
the story here, but I don't know. Is my brother
(22:20):
he played baseball, and I played baseball, but I didn't
pursue it nearly as long as he did, Like I stopped.
I think after like first or second grade. I'm like not,
I like basketball. I don't really care about this. My brother, though,
he played, and there's four of us, and my grandfather
was into it and he would take us all there
to watch my brother practice or play basketball or so
I played baseball the games and we'd all be there
and in the middle of this place. This is Central
(22:41):
Winds Park in Winter Springs, Florida. If anyone is listening,
I was like, Oh, I know where that's at, Sin Orlando.
And they had like four baseball fields and in the
middle was this like massive looking siloed tower looking thing,
and it had windows all around it and up there
and no one ever went up there, but they had
a scoreboard. Every field had scoreboards, and it had the
PA system. It was fully hooked up to be almost
(23:02):
like a real game with everything going. It was really nice. Fields.
There were brand newish and I remember seeing that silo
and I was like, like, man, no one's ever up there,
but no one ever, no one ever keeps score. And
it just bothered me that we never knew what the
score was or as many balls or strikes or outs
or what any it was. It always irked me, and
I'm like, God, there's gotta be some way to get
to this, to connect to it. I wonder where it is,
(23:23):
and I think this is just my personality always is
like just ask questions later and figured out yourself kind
of thing and don't act like, you don't know what's
going I just just just go.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So someone tells you can't go.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
So I noticed at the bottom of the silo is
a concession stand, and then around the backside there's a
door that I've never seen open.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I've never tried it.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So I was walked up to it and I pulled
on it and it opened, and I was like, oh,
And I see stairs, and I'm like, oh, I bet
those stairs go up to the top where everything's at.
So I go up the stairs, walk up to the top.
And as a kid, this is this It feels scary
and eerie and creepy, and you're like, oh my god,
I'm supposed to be here. But as an adult you're like,
you just go up there to do your thing. But
no one ever went up there, no one ever did anything.
So I go up the stairs up there and I
look around. Oh my gosh, it's all of the booths
(24:03):
for each of the games. And in each one of
those things that has a little microphone. You push a
button on it you can like talk into it, like
you know now abouting. And then there's a little thing
next to with all the little buttons to change the scoreboard.
And so I walked up there one day and I
was like, oh my god, well there's my brother's field
and the game had just started, so I was like, ah,
screw it. And so my brother was batting first because
(24:23):
he's like one of the best. I would usually start
with him, and I just I didn't know it worked
because I have no idea. So I pushed the button
I go now batting, and I said his name and
his number, and then all of a sudden people were
like looking around. And then I put the score up,
with the score up, and I followed his balls and strikes,
and this was like maybway through the season. And then
I came down to the end of the game because
then I did the whole thing I did. I did
everyone's walk out. I kept the score and everything, and
(24:47):
I felt the energy of the game change because now
parents can see the score, parents can see how many
balls and strikes and what ending it is, and there's interaction,
there's somebody talking and saying something, and all the other
games are super quiet. And then it's one of those
things where you don't like radio, you do the show,
you walk out, like did anyone hear that?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Did that? Even happen existed.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Yeah, yeah, it may just only been in my head
because I was like ten eleven years old and I
walked down the stairs and I come down, and also too,
it's like my grandfather wasn't like, where's where Steven at?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
He wasn't worried about it.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
No, he wasn't, or maybe you heard my voice of it,
and he's like, it's pretty cool, and then let him be,
let him be.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, it's what.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I come down and it's like one of those moments
where everyone's like standing around there and they'll turn around
and I'll.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Go yeah, And I was.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Like what, Like that was so cool? And then someone
was like, dude, how old are you? And I said
I'm eleven. He's like, oh my god, can you do
that for our game? And I was like, well, my grandfa,
we have we have to go. I'm just here for
my brother's game. And so then I did all of
my brother's games for the remainder of that season. I
would go up there and I would announce him and
I would do the score and everything, and I was like,
this is so freaking cool.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
That was your first That was you planting a seed
that would involve microphones exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yes, yeah, And now fast forward to I'm looking at
where we are currently, and I've always wanted to.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I thought it'd be so cool. But we don't live
in a town where there is an NBA team, and
I could do other sports and maybe in or even baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We don't. We have a minor league, but not really
major league, but.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
In the minor league, I.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Guess we could. Yeah, but I've always wanted to do
the PA announcing for either baseball or for basketball. Basketball
be really cool.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah, Baseball would be cool just because it's the full
circle moment, but I think basketball would be unreal. It's
my real that's my huge love. And then Orlanto Magic.
You know, that guy was my inspiration because he was
so animated and so awesome, and he just got the
news after thirty six years the team's in around from
day one, he's been there since the start in eighty nine,
that he is retiring and they now are no longer
(26:42):
going to have a voice person for the Orlando Magic.
And I was like, oh my, I saw the video
of like them retiring.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Him and giving him a jersey. His name is Paul
Porter and he had been doing this since day one.
And I'm like, oh my god, that to me, there's
an opening in Orlando to be the PA guy.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
I don't live there, but like, man, that'd be so
cool to be able to announce for the Orlando MAK
my favorite team, and to do this.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
But they're not doing it anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
They're still gonna have something. They're gonna you know, how
the process goes. They probably have somebody in line that's
been the backup.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
But you said they weren't going to do a voice,
and they there was something, oh that he was retired,
going to have a voice for the time being.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
Yes, So so he's retiring at the end of the season,
Paul Porters. So at the end of the season, he
will be done. If they go to the they do
the playoffs, and however far they go, he'll do it.
Condition for it, I know, I just know how to crap.
There's already someone in line.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
But you're always gonna be mad if you never if
you didn't try it.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, it's true. It's a good point. Yeah, there is.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Always the one percent chance that you do beat everybody out.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Yeah, I just I just know how logistics of the
politics that it may happen.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
You can't focus on that because if you somebody else
gets hired and they stay there for thirty years, you're
never going to have a chance. But at at least
when you did have the chance, you took it.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, it's a good point. Okay, you know what I mean? Like, yes, yes,
you don't.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
Know is the reality? Yeah? Probably, But there's also the
reality that you could get it, I know.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Yeah, and then i'd move there and mornings in Orlando
and have this Orlanto Magic gig on the side and
then go to Disney and stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I give you pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Yeah, so I don't think you don't reply Okay, Okay,
like Lunchboks with yes, he didn't get the D game,
but like he tried it.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah it's true.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Now at least he knows that he did put an
effort in for it.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But now I need to find that the gig's not
posted anywhere yet. He just announced it. So either the
Orlanta Magic if you hear me, reach out. I'm wearing
black and blue shoes right now.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Okay, somebody in the NBA.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Somebody in the NBA it's here and listening to this
as anything, Please give me a chance at least put
together a demo or go there. I'd love to go
there and do like a audition, like just do one
quarter and it starts with a demo. Well, even if
they wanted to be like, hey, what suit, it's like
it's just for just for shits and giggles. Have him
to do a preseason game and I do the intros
at the very beginning, and I do one quarter and
(28:46):
if I'm good and keep me throughout the whole game,
if like hey that was great or we're flying, we're good,
and they bring in the other guy that they want
to do it, do it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
But I would love to have the opportunity to do that.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Do it.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
It'd be awesome.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
You see it gets posted or somebody hears you have
to apply. You have to. This is a no brainer.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
I know it is. It'd be so freaking cool.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Do it.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I'm gonna hold you to it, Okay, next best mins,
I want to know if you found the job posting.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Anything about it?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Anything, okay, all right, cool, I'll hold you to it.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I hold me to it. Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
While you were talking about that, it reminded me of
like my the first core memory that popped up in
my brain because you have so many, right, there's so yeah,
but this is the one that popped up for me.
My parents took me to Maui for a vacation, which
Hawaii beautiful, only it's the only time I've been in
my life. Oh wow, okay trip, and I'd love to
go back. But I was in like eighth grade, so
(29:36):
you were conscious.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I knew that you knew you're going to Maui, like
we're going Hawaii, Oh my god? Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
And I remember a lot of it, but this particular moment,
they woke us up at the buck crack of.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Dawn, like one of those.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
So early right now, this is vacation. It was like
five am. Some wasn't even out, and we pile in
this rented jeep. Okay, tops off. This is where I
fell in love with jeeps, by the way, okay, and
I'm like, what are we gonna do? We did the
Road to.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Hannah, Oh nice, okay, and the.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Top down jeep the entire day. Luke Bryan had just
put out his spring break album First One, okay, And
so we're jamming to Luke Bryan's new album Top Down
like Hills Mountains.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
What do you common mountains basically. Yeah, you have a mountain.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Side mountains of Hawaii and they're in these teeny tiny
roads and you're seeing all these beautiful places.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And I just remember that entire day being like, I
don't think anything will ever live up to this moment.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
How it started so Crappy're like, ah, get up. It's like,
by the way, Morgan, you're not driving or do anything.
It's gonna sit in the seat literally, and I'm gonna
be all doing all the driving and never Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And I was so like rumpy, and then I got
in the car was like, Okay. By the end of
the day, I was exhausted. But this is the coolest
thing I've ever done.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Yeah, because it's beautiful. Oh my god, it's so cool.
The whole road and everything everything about it's so lush, and.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
There's so many adrenaline moments because you're seeing crazy things
you've never seen before. Also, some of the roads are.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Wild, Yeah, pull the side while another car comes.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
It's like it's in. The bridges are narrow and.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Well there's like a waterfall coming down.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
It's pretty damn cool.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Out of a movie.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It really is.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yeah, you reminded me of that when you're when you
were talking about theirs. But I have to let Scuba
Steve get out of here. You had a crazy, crazy
week on the show. Make sure you go check out
part three Scuba Thanks for being here.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Part three one, where it's the replay of the Bits.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Listener Q and a Listener Conversation is where they catch
up on the three listener Q and a compliment sandwich.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I see that the meat in the middle and the
buns on the outside.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
There's a strategy.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I'm your buns to your.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Best bits and the buns to me are the best part.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I agree as well. Yeah, but also McDonald's.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I used to work click before we go, but I
used to work there. My favorite thing the world to
do was to take just the bread like the buns
and put it through their little heater thing and they
come out They're so soft and warm, and eat just
the bread by itself.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
So delicious buttery buns.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah. See, I'll put Manai in the middle of it,
or they special sauce and eat that too.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
Who it's really good, special sauce and bread.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, yeah, really, it's all it was. It was good.
You need it because it's.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Yeah, and I'm laughing because I've made some really bizarre sandwiches.
Because I don't eat meat, people look at me like
I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
We have to come up with alternatives.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah, I've come up with some wild things.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
What's like, the most wildest concoction you come up with
because you don't eat meat.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
The one that people never every time I make, they
always think I'm crazy is like a it's a bagel
egg sandwich, but I put jam on it.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
