Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part one.
I had a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Happy Weekend, everybody, welcome to the Best Bits. Mike d
is joining me.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, Mike d Uh, how's it go? And I forgot
what to say in that instance.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The words are hard. Sometimes it's okay, Well, it is
a Saturday and we're here hanging out and catching up
on all things life. But Mike, you haven't been on
since you went to the super Bowl. And I know
obviously super Bowl's passed, but I need like details.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That was the most wild experience I've ever had, never
been to a super Bowl. I haven't even been to
that many NFL games. Really. I think that's like my
third NFL game of like all maybe fourth, I guess
my fourth.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You're never going to be able to go to a
regular NFL game again.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
No, And it was wild. And I know at this
point you've all heard what happened in the super Bowl,
but I think just being there and the energy was
something I wasn't expecting because even though it was a blowout,
it was so entertaining to be there. There was like
a vibe and energy in the room and we were
like up high, but even being up high, we had
like the perfect view. Seeing the behind the scenes of
(01:06):
the halftime show was awesome how quickly they put that
stage together and how quickly they tear it apart, even
though we couldn't really hear it from our perspective. But
I think just being in the city of New Orleans
during a Super Bowl was crazy because I'd never seen
a city with so much security before. You'd walk down
the street and there were cops everywhere. I'd go to
(01:28):
Starbucks and there'd be like five cops there getting getting
a coffee. Anywhere you went there was heavy just police activity.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Which I suppose is a good thing.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, choppers flying by, so in a way it made
me feel more secure, but also kind of like something
gotta happen here because it was like it was intense.
They had like streets blocked off with like these little
like pop up almost like military checkpoints. It kind of
reminded me when I'd go to Mexico and there'd be
like people like armed guards standing in the road making
(01:57):
sure you were safe. But wild experience. I think the
coolest part for me was all the things we got
to do leading up to.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It, all of the interviews and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, we got to see like I love spotting celebrities,
that is my favorite hobby, and I could spot some secure,
some obscure celebrities. So being there, we went to two
days of Radio Row, which is where all these radio
shows and podcasts get set up and just people come
through the whole time getting interviewed. I was just like
focusing on work, but also like looking who was walking
(02:27):
around me and trying to like snap pictures of people
I could sending to people like hey, check out who's here?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Who was the big like top five you saw at
the Radio Row and at maybe at the super Bowl too.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh, I could do it like my whole week.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, do it break it down for us.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'll just go I won't rank these because I'm gonna
forget all these. I'd say. The one that caught me
the most off guard is I saw the Costco guys
from TikTok Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's like Costco guys commercial and then I was like,
oh yeah, OKAYD.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And his son and they were in like a cameo
cyber truck getting dropped off to their hotel. Because I
would just walk around like after we were done for
the day, I would just go walk around because I
was trying to spot celebrities. Yeah, because I knew like
Blanken eighty two was in town. I was like, if
I could spot them ount somewhere, I would love to
just run into them.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That would be cool. But no, no, blank one two, No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So that was when I was just walking around and
I see this just flashy cyber truck pulling up to
this hotel. And this hotel was like where all the
celebrities were staying, because it was like right downtown and
there were just a line of just black cars SUVs
dropping people off and out of everybody. I was excited
to say. I saw the Costco guys get out and
I was like, that's them. They bring the boom. Did
(03:37):
you say Hidyth No, cause I think it was kind
of weird for me, like I knew they were famous.
But then also he's like a kid, He's like an
eight year old, and I'm like, that's kind of weird,
and it's like a whole family, and I was like
that was it was cool in the moment I told
people about it, But that was the one that I
was like that who gets excited about the Costco guys.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, it's also like Bobby always says that famous relative
and you find the people that you love and who
you're gonna be excited about, and you learned one of
yours that kind of caught you off guard, like ex
like that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That was one another one random on the street, I
saw Dave Portnoy, who's like the head of Barstool.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I started seeing like I was walking to dinner and
I saw like two or three dudes with barstool hats
and I was like, yeah, big Barstool fans. And then
I see this other guy walking with two security guards
next to him. I was like, Oh, that's Dave Bortoni
and he was just walking around and I think that
was the kind of the vibe of seeing celebrities as
everything is going on.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Wait, I have a question. Did he have Miss Peaches
with him?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, it was just him.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Dang it. I would like, listen, cool, Dave portna You're awesome,
But like if he had Misspeeches, I would have freaked out.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No, it was just him.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Bummer makes sense. So because I don't think Miss Peaches
could have gone to his role.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It was wild to see him with like that much
security because he I mean he's famous. I feel like
he's a type of person who a lot of people
would come up to and bombard and also possibly try
to fight him.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, because he's kind of controversial in a way, like
he loves to share his opinions, and when you share opinions,
you're always like gonna have both sides because I've seen
a bunch of his posts before and there's always people
in the comments and stuff just going at him, or
then you have people supporting him. So maybe that's why,
and he does. I mean, he's got a massive following.
Barstool Sports is huge.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, so that was cool. That was random. Yeah, I'd
say the next one would probably be Emmett Smith, which
we interviewed him the day of. But that night I
went to the Post Malone bud Light Show m HM,
which was cool for me because that was like the
first time I saw post Malone was at a bud
Light show, which is always like a smaller venue. I
(05:42):
think this venue only held like three thousand people.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That man loves his bud Light yeah, like the Lifetime partner.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So he's yeah, he's all bud Light. And then I
was in the crowd and they had like this VIP
section next to the stage where all these people were.
There was like a lot of people who had been
there for this Super Bowl, and I just see Emmitt
Smith there with a liquid death water in one hand
and like a beer cup in the other hand, and
he's just having the best time, like singing along nos
(06:11):
every word to every post Malone song, and then everybody
around us just starts to notice that that's EMMITTT. Smith
over there having the best time. So you just see
people start yelling just em and then he's going off.
So I was like, I gotta film this, and I
filmed him singing and that was just cool because I mean,
that was all my world's coming together. That was me
(06:33):
at a post Malone show. I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan,
so there's one of the greatest Dallas Cowboys of all
time singing a post Malone song. I'm like, I couldn't
even like think of this, And when I was a kid, like,
how is this even gonna happen? Now?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Is Emmitt Smith known for being like that? Or was
that kind of out of characture for him?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I mean, he's a pretty I'd say he's a pretty
out there guy.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay, like pretty outgoing fun.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, he's a fun guy dancing with the stars, so
he's pretty extroverted, Okay, But I think it's just weird
seeing him, like anybody in that like have that good
of a time. Like, aside from like Taylor Swift at
an award show, I don't really see celebrities like enjoying
themselves at a concert. It's so true and dudes at
their backstage or somewhere else when they're like too cool
(07:18):
and they're like not even paying attention. He was like,
actually just like having fun like everybody else.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, he just was there. He was there for the party.
He didn't care that he was in at Smith. He
was like, I'm her party. Was that also a cool
experience for You've seen post malone twice in a twenty
four hour span.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Twice and for free, Yeah yeah, and in pretty intimate
settings like that was the smaller venue. I was further
back because it took us forever to get into the show.
I waited in line for an hour.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Did you go to that first one by yourself?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I went with read our video guy and then he
left like halfway through the show to go meet up
with the other guys. So I'm like, I'm not gonna leave,
and I have no problem being at a concert by myself. Yeah,
I figured so after a while it was just me.
But when we got there, there was a line to
get in, and the line I thought to get in
was actually the VIP line. So the line we had
(08:06):
to go in was general admission. And we kept walking
and walking and I'm like, surely the line's gonna It
was so long that I was like, there's no way
this is the line, and we just kept going further
and further back and we're there for an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Dang.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Like Luckily we made friends with the guys behind us, Yeah,
and it was it was kind of like a fun
bonding experience. But I've never waited in line for an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Before, right, look at you making friends. Yeah, that's kind
of a little up to obviously, I know, like, you know,
fun short term friends.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It wasn't like long term friends. But are you proud
of yourself?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
A lot? It was a guy and his brother. Dude
was a lawyer. Other his brother was like there for
a minute. They went to go get a drink, so
mainly talked to his brother for the most part, but
there was like a bonding experience of us both liking
posts Malone he was like, I think I kind of
blew his mind in a way because it was a
weird part. Like I don't get recognized a whole lot,
(08:58):
but there was a moment I got recognized in line
and like somebody came to talk to me and they
took a picture with me, and then the whole time
I've already been talking to this guy for thirty minutes,
He's like, wait a minute, what exactly is happening here.
That's a weird moment for me because when I get
recognized and have to explain it to somebody else, I'm like,
(09:18):
I'm not famous, Like this is a very like rare occurrence,
and it's so like it's hard to explain exactly that situation.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's hard to explain to people you know, let alone
people you don't really know. So like when I feel
like when you're out and about and you're with your
friends and family and stuff, they're kind of like, Okay,
well we know you and we know what you do.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, it's so weird that it's happening.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But when it's people you don't even know, then they're like, wait,
I miss something am I like missing a piece of
this and it's it's funny to kind of watch the reaction. Yeah,
what kind of happened.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's exactly what happened. And then he was just like
asking about that and he's like, Wow, this is weird.
He's like, why are you waiting in line? I'll say,
I'm like that's why. Like what I do gets me
in this line, but it doesn't give me to the
front of this line. Like I'm not famous like that
by any means.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, So we made friends. Yeah, we saw a post
mill and twice in forty eight hours you were in
the super Bowl. Lots of famous people. Any other famous people.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I would say, uh, famous for me. I saw The
Workaholics Guies Okay, as a Comedy Central show that I
really loved growing up.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think I know who it is, but keep talking.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And they were both they have like a show podcast too,
and they were working next to us.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh yeah, no, all like especially two of them, is
that I kind of looks like weird out? Is that
not weird at?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Blake Andrews, That's who I got a selfie with before
we left. Like, I didn't take many pictures while we
were there. Because we were working. But I was like,
the last day we were leaving, he was leaving at
the same time. I was like, hey, man, gonna get
his selfie with you. He was like, yeah, man, very chill.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
He seemed super chill.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And then the other two Adam Devine and Anders Holmer
in a whole bunch of movies.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, Adam Divine is probably the most famous out of
all them, Like he was getting recognized the most people
yelling at him. He was also they were also all
at the post Malone show and he got recognized too,
and they were yelling at him.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Okay, that's cool. It was just like a celebrity week.
Were you just like high on life?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, I just lost funny celebrities. And the last one
was I saw Keegan Michael Key from Key and Peel.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh yeah, okay, I'm looking him up, just a bit
of face to the name, and.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I just saw him walking around and I was like, Oh,
that's that's Key from Key and Peele.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It's so funny because like you say their names and
you're like, there's no way I know like who these
people are, and then you look them up. You're like,
I've seen them in so much stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, he's been in a lot too.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
He's a major actor.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Big voice actor too. Any animated movie comes out.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
He is in it and he's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Was he like really outgoing in person?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Or would they seymore chill?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
When I saw him, he was like go into the bathroom, okay,
So I was like, I can't touch him on that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's awesome. So many stories to share, and yeah, you're
never gonna be able to top that for an NFL
game unless maybe the you know, the Dallas Cowboys are
in the super Bowl and.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That would be the only difference. And after going to
a super Bowl, I have to imagine how nerve wracking
it is for your team to be in it. Because
it was a low pressure game for me because I
didn't really care being a Cowboys fan. I'm not an
Eagles fan, but I almost enjoyed their fans there more
than the Chiefs fans because there was like a when
(12:24):
we were there, there were seventy percent Eagles fans. It
was it felt like a Philly home game when you
were in there, and I kind of respected that a
little bit, even though now it sucks that they're in
our division and it's like there's a Super Bowl champs.
But in that moment, I was like, this is cool,
like to see them cheering and like being so passionate,
Like I could respect that.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Okay, which was better super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This one or the Dallas Cowboys where you went with
the whole Jerry Jones, you were there at the stadium,
the house.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, nothing is a good a top the Dallas Cowboys day.
That is the best, Like that is something that can
never be replicated. Like I could go to another Super
Bowl and pay a massive amount of money to get in,
but that day cannot happen like that again, like flying
to the game and Jerry Jones helicopter, Like that's not
gonna happen again.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's so true. I wondered though, because listen, those are
like two top tier events.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I don't know how you choose.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But I'm also not like you're a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan,
diehard Texas Longhorn fan. I like k State, you know,
I'm not like the End of the World Forum. So
it's a different probably perspective for you. That's why I
was so curious between the two.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, my top three sporting events. Number one will always
be that Dallas Cowboys game where we went because we
also got to interview Jerry Jones before the game got
out on the field, and then we won the game,
so it's like everything went right, like that could never
happen again, like we could go again and we could lose,
but that was perfect. Number two is this super Bowl
we just went to. And then I think number three
(13:54):
would be probably the last Texas Longhorns game I went
to because we also got to go down on the
field and my wife got to be a part of that,
and that's like the one time like she gets to
experience the cool part of like my job and my connections.
She's like, Okay, this.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Is cool now, just that one time though, like all
this other.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Time when you're all stressed out of working too much,
that's not cool, but that that's cool.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
This one off, six hour moment. Okay, we're gonna take
a quick break and come back and speaking of your wife,
we're going to talk about some live updates. Yeah, all right, Mike,
talk to me about life.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
How are things going, what's happening with you.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm having a big decision with my teeth right now. Okay,
I am at the stage where braces could have come
off by now, and the plan was for me to
get a dental implant. And the whole reason it's taken
so long is because we've been trying to make space
on a side of my mouth that has two gaps.
Whenever they first took out my teeth, they took out
(14:53):
my wisdom teeth, and they took out some other teeth
that were like cramped in there, and we've been trying
to make space to put an implant in. And then
I went to another specialist to get like a consultation
for it, and it freaked me out why what happened?
Because I initially thought it was a two step process
(15:14):
where they essentially put in like this holder into your
mouth that takes a while to heal from, and then
they actually screw in the implant, okay, And then I
went to this specialist and they told me that I
guess since those other teeth had been out so long
that the bone had like evaporated or diminished or something,
(15:37):
and I would have to do a bone graft to
kind of repair that. And the entire process with everything
was going to take like eighteen months. But that bone
graph sounded gnarly.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So when you say bone graph, are they like basically
re in a way, rebuilding the bone.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, because I guess there's like some bone above your
teeth where if you were getting an implant, they would
be able to I guess drill into okay, to put
the little like hole I don't know exactly what it's called,
but essentially like this wholer thing that they can screw
the implant into. But since I've had that missing tooth
for so long, that is kind of not there anymore,
(16:16):
so they need that foundation to put it into.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
So it's kind of like just gum right.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, And that sounds like the worst process out of
all of them, because I would be down recovering for
about two weeks post.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
That, meaning like couldn't eat probably hard foods, you had
to like eat certain foods, you had like.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Pain in your mouth, a lot of pain, probably couldn't
speak very well. And I mean in the two weeks
it's like just like generously I could feel I feel
like it could be longer, and there's not a guarantee
that once I get that done, that it's gonna take.
So they could put it in there and then be like, well,
we actually can't even get the next part we need
(16:58):
into so.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
How big of a possibility that it does work.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I I think it was more on the side that
it would work, but they didn't really tell me so
much about what happens if it doesn't, got it. So
that part seemed like the most daunting to me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And understandable too, because nobody even likes going for a
dental cleaning. And that's nothing against like dentist, hygienists and
dentists themselves.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
But I have no problem with the actual like process,
like once I'm there of them digging in prime like
I don't have I'm not freaked out by the dentist.
It wasn't that. I think for me, it's the recovery
part of like how long it's going to put me
down and how much it's going to affect like my
day to day life for that long. Yeah, and I
know there's like this big, bigger picture you look at
of like, yeah, you're in discomfort for this amount of
(17:48):
time it takes over a year to do, but it's
like the lifelong benefits of it. So I tried to
outweigh that because a lot of times whenever I get
faced with somebody telling me something like that my immediate
reactions and he's like, I don't want to do it,
and I kind of recognize that and knowing like, okay,
but this might be me shutting down being freaked out
by something new. Let me give myself a second to
(18:10):
think about it. And I did think about it for
a week before I had my following orthodontis appointment, and
I was like, I just don't think that's the step
I want to take. And I even asked them in
that first consultation of like, is this gonna affect at all,
like any health thing, like if me not putting a
tooth in it, Like, is it going to affect me
(18:30):
in like a negative way? And pretty much he said
that it's just like a cosmetic thing, like it's not
going to affect the way that I eat or speak
by not having that. It's more cosmetic than anything. And
I think that was my main concern of like, if
it's not going to affect like my teeth down the
line of not having one, then I don't It's not
the biggest deal to me. But luckily after that, I
(18:50):
went back to my orthodonist and we kind of developed
a new plan with my current dentist of instead of
doing the implan, I'm going to get a bridge, which
I hadn't heard about, okay, which sounds it's a lot
less invasive. Essentially, I could get it done in about
two appointments where they so I have the missing tooth,
(19:11):
and what they do is they file down the two
teeth around it and then they put essentially it is
like this bridge thing that it's like two almost like
they look like little teeth caps, and they put under one,
put it under the other one, and then the fake
tooth goes in the middle of that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Interesting, and where does the bridge sit, like on the
roof of your mouth kind of.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It's like on the teeth. Yeah, So they file down
the teeth and put it like right over it. So
it's almost like I guess to put it like in
where you could kind of see it, like kind of
like if you're putting dentures on, but it's on there permanently.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So it wouldn't fall out easily.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, it's like in there. Once it's in there. They
told me it would last if I take care of
it ten years and then.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
You just have to get a new one.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, he said. Essentially, it's not that it it's ten
years and done. It's that's like the shelf life they
put on it Google is it'll last ten years, but
if you are good about flossing and cleaning it, it
can last you a lot longer. It's kind of like veneers. Yeah,
because veneers, I think they if you google that, they
last like ten years before you have to get in replace.
So it's kind of that same thing of like when
(20:13):
you would get like a like a molar put in
or something. So that sounded a lot better to me.
And I think the reason that some people choose one
or the other is because some people don't like the
idea of having like their teeth filed down, which I
think they had to file it down like a millimeter,
which lot a big deal to me. Yeah, So I
was like, that just sounds like a lot easier to
(20:36):
do and a lot easier to recover from. Yeah, And
I think overall, I'm like, that's yeah, if it's not
going to really affect my mouth health, and I think
that's the way I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, And it gives you the bigger picture, a long term, right.
What you wanted out of all of this was you
wanted to have like the smile that you loved, and
it gives you that because you already have most of it.
This is the missing piece. So I'll still give you
the thing that you want without doing a pretty invasive
surgery that may not end up working. So I feel
(21:09):
like you feel good about that answer based on just
talking it out.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, Because the other thing was apparently the space,
like they're trying to like create some symmetry of like
my left tooth and my right side tooth, and the
tooth on my left side would not match the implant
they would put on my right side because the space
isn't as big, so they're like it won't look completely
right because I think it's like maybe two millimeters smaller.
(21:36):
That's even weirder if I get another tooth, then it's
like not the same size, which I don't care that
much about. But that's also why I have to keep
the braces on a little bit longer to make a
little bit more space for even what the bridge they're
going to put in. Yeah, so like those are little details. Also,
when you speak to orthodontis and dentists, they're perfectionists, which
that's their job, Like they're going to want it to
look like as pristine as possible, as lined up as
(21:59):
as can be. And I think for me, coming from
having as cricket of teeth that I did have, I've
already come like where I want to be, and I'm like,
I don't need it to be perfect. There are imperfections
in the teeth that are going to be there. I'm
not looking for like a million dollar smile. I just
want to feel more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, And I feel like you're in a place with that,
and I think this answer will give you that without
making you uncomfortable in the long term, because you could
end up doing it to your point, you couldn't up
doing it. They could put the random tooth in there
and then you're like, what have I done?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know, and you don't want to be in that
position either of.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, going that far and being like this is stuck
in there.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I can't take that back.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah. I just feel like at some point in that
process I would regret it and it would be too
much because you go to take eighteen months and there's
three times that I would have to be put under
for an hour.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
For a cosmetic. It just seem like like I'm not
in I don't think I need to do that to myself.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
No, And honestly, your teeth look great, Mike. Like you,
we always notice our imperfections so much more emphasize than
everybody else. And until you ever talk to me about this,
I never would have noticed personally. But maybe that's also
because you haven't been comfortable enough to smile. You know,
I don't know how much you smile on pictures.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Do you soft smile more than you regular smile.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I think in the last maybe year or so, I
smile more with like full teeth, just because they are
the straightest they've ever been. And I think it has
been that one side that I noticed where I am
missing that tooth that I try to like not angle
myself towards that, and when I do, I'm like, I
(23:46):
boast on that one. Yeah, And even like with my
wife and I take pictures, I'm like, you'd be on
this side.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's understandable. But you know, everybody also has a good
left or right side. So that's a lifelong paer.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, so that's it. I think everybody that to some extent.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Well, I'm happy you have answers. I'm sad for you
that you kind of had to make a hard decision
because honestly, if there's especially anything I've learned in the
past month with all of my vertigo stuff, like hell,
stuff sucks, and when they come at you and give
you like these are your options and none of the
options are super great or what you wanted to hear. Yeah,
(24:23):
you just it hurts everything in you, but especially something
that like whether you're going to be faced with it
for the rest of your life, whether you're something that
you're not getting answers in the way that you really
planned for, for the way that your lifestyle is, however
it may go. That's frustrating. That's a frustrating experience, and
you can't do much about it. You feel very out
(24:44):
of body, out of control, and you just have to
like kind of prepare yourself for the best case scenario
that you feel comfortable with. And that's not fun. Like
being an adult sucks, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And this is one of those moments for you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But you sound happy about it at least what you
came with your dentist versus the other option.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, I feel good now that there's a plan. I
guess there's not like a full timeline of when it's
all gonna happen. But now that I know it's not
going to be another eighteen months of that, I feel
a lot better about it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Good, I'm glad, I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I can't wait to see the finished product after all
this happens.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I bet you're not even gonna be able to tell.
That would be my guess.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, I think so. Like the more I look at it,
I don't feel it's as noticeable to other people. And
like the way like my teeth sit and everything they've
been trying to fix. I think by the end of it,
it's going to be good.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Just remember I told you though, when you take off
your brains for the first time after so long, you
may feel a little traumatized.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well, I did have them all for like a month
in between, like my old ones and my new ones,
and that was wild. I just kept like feeling my
teeth when my tongue, I'm like, this feels weird. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's like you have to get used to a new
person almost because you're so used to having this kind
of fixture accessory, and then you take it away you're like,
who am I. It's like if somebody wears glasses all
the time, and all of a sudden they stop wearing glasses.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It's a different person.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And there's also like things I haven't been able to eat,
Like I can't eat apples right now. Like there's a
lot of like crunchy foods I can't eat.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Has that always been the case or just right now?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
No, Like the whole time I've had them is because
if I if I bite into something crunchy, it could
pop a bracket. So there's a lot of foods that
I've not had and I'm waiting, Like I can't eat
any kind of almonds or cashews, which I love.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Oh my dar, I'm pretty sure when I had versus,
I ate all us.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Really I.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Did not listen very well.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You're you're doing great, You're you're abiding by the rules.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I guess if I an adult, I like, I'm following
all the rules because I don't want to miss anything
up or delay it any longer.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I was gonna say I wasn't high school, so you know,
I was just.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Like, you don't care as much.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The rules don't apply to you.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The wild part is with adult braces. Whenever last time
I called to make my appointments see that specialists they
thought I was a teenager. They were asking me these questions.
They're like, yeah, you could probably ask your parents and
check with your insurance. I'm like, I think I had
that with my job, not with my parents. Are like,
oh data burst. I was like, They're like, oh, okay,
they probably.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Should have asked the data first.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
They make a lot worse sense. I think that is
a frustrating part with any kind of calling a medical office,
which I know they're just doing their job, is it
feels so impersonal at times that they're just like trying
to like get you, and I'm like, man, I'm a
human here, it.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Is, dude, Mike. I feel that on such a level though.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I have a lot of health stuff going on right now,
and I'm trying to get a lot of stuff established,
like with the primary care, which I haven't had one.
I know that's not great, but I've had horrible experiences
with like primary care doctors who like all they want
to do is like send you to test and you
pay like fifteen hundred dollars out of pocket. You're like,
what was that for? What am I doing? And so
(27:52):
I never had one, And now with all the health
stuff that I'm having, and I've had to get like
established because I'm trying to get sent to different specialists
sincy thing. I had a full blow Minty Bee yesterday, Mike.
I broke down for solid twenty minutes where I was like,
I am alone.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I have zero help. I have to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
There's no like, there's no there's nobody I can fall
on to fix this.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I just have to figure this out. And it was like.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Everywhere I turned, I was just hitting walls and I
wasn't getting answers that I needed and I full like
just full on, was like I'm done. You know, I
really don't want to be an adult right now. I
would like to do none of this anymore. And I
like freaked out. And it's because they make it so
difficult mental, but all of the different structures of medical
(28:42):
they make it so difficult to get the help that
you need. And I know that's not like any of
the doctors or side. It's like the insurance in the Yeah,
oh it's horrible and I don't understand it. You could
give me like a whole list and I'm still confused
by it. I'm like, what does that mean? So this
is a network, but it doesn't work work What would
it make that make sense to me? And then we
(29:03):
have an entrance that even isn't in our state, so
how does that work. It's just all those kind of things.
So I had that full blown adult breakdown. And then
on top of that, my house is also falling apart,
falling apart, well, my car. We learned my car died, right.
I had to place replace the battery, my WiFi stopped working,
had to replace my whole Wi Fi system. I Uh,
(29:25):
last night, three o'clock in the morning, my smoke alarm
starts going off.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I'm like, what the are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Right now? Wouldn't stop being I replaced it. I'm up
on a ladder, still dizzy, and this is not good
for anybody. We're good, And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna
pass out, and I'm you know, nobody's gonna find me
for like three days, and I'm up here trying to
change it the battery. It still won't stop beeping. So
I'm pretty sure I need to replace the whole smoke
system whatever. I literally ended up like turning off half
(29:51):
my breaker last night. I was like, I'm going to bed.
I'm not dealing with this right now. That's my life
this week.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
How do you deal with a mental breakdown? Because I've
been there, Like when you feel so overwhelmed, life is
just kind of like piling up on you. What has
been your like go to, Like I just need to
take a break, a reset.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I kind of just have to force myself to sit
in it, honestly, for that's like my first step. I
just have to allow myself to feel whatever's happening, because
if I don't, it's just gonna flood out in different
ways or I'm gonna take it out on somebody and
that's not fair to anybody else, Like I could take
it out on the poor ups guy that comes to
my house, you know what I mean. So I'll sit
(30:30):
with it for however long I need to. Like yesterday,
after it happened, I sat on my couch for just
like two hours and like mind less scroll. I couldn't
focus on anything else. I wasn't even trying to touch
my work. So I'm just gonna this is not gonna
end up well as far as me doing the best
work that I can do. So I literally just sat
there for two hours and then I had another appointment,
(30:51):
and I was like, okay, deep broath, we just have
to have to do this appointment and we'll come back
and take another break. And just as much as I
need to, I take breaks until I finally feel like
I've caught my breath, because the mental breakdown feels like
is where you like the breath gets taken from you
in a way, and so I have to do things
(31:13):
that will like help me catch my breath, but I
have to do it interminutely. It's not like I can
do it all again at once. I have to do
a little bit at a time and they'll take another
break a little bit at a time. But then it
like set me back because you know, I didn't go
to bed till like one am last night because I
was taking so many breaks because my brain couldn't comprehend
all the stuff that was happening. So it was like
(31:35):
that helps, And then now today after I plan to
like go for a long walk, try and reset in
that way. Yeah, walks help, And I'd love to go
work out that's always typically my way, but I can't
work out. I haven't been able to work out for
a month, which is also not helping my.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Mental or physical health.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
So normally I would go for a walk and then
i'd go work out and i'd have like a really
good reset.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
But I can't do that right now.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So typically, how do you handle a mental breakdown.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'd say, like full on mental breakdown, like I've had
panic attacks before, breathing always helps, as basically as it sounds,
just like, breathe. Take a minute. Whatever you're worrying about,
just try not to think about it for a few
minutes and just breathe. I think that always helps. I
can't run when I'm having a mental breakdown because I'm
full on, like about a loser mode. So that's why
(32:25):
I'll walk. Like if I'm walking, like that means like
it's because like running is how I like keep my
mental health in check and like I take a break
from everything. That's like just normal. But if I'm having
a mental breakout breakdown, I can't run because if I
go run, I'm like I'll like start crying. Yeah, I'm
at that point, So I'll like if I'm walking, that
means I'm going through it. And then a hot shower
(32:48):
is like my go to saving right now, like some
maybe because it's been like cold lately, but if you
get in the shower it's like super hot, like steamy.
I feel like that kind of resets me. It's almost
like to me like making an advil, Like if I
have like a I feel mental breakdowns, or even like
when I get like into a depressive state, I get
(33:09):
like this weird headache where it feels like there's something
like just over my head where it's not like a
real headache, like I need to take some kind of medication.
But I feel that in that moment, I'll get in
the shower and it kind of like lifts it away
a little bit. So that's like my my natural advil.
It'll go take a hot shower.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's good. I do listen. I do love a good
cry in the shower.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Do you ever cry in the shower?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Nah, I've never cried in the shower.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You never had like your movie moment when you just
sit there and you're like I'm in a movie. I'm crying.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Not recently, maybe some time, but I can't recall a
time like crying in the shower. I feel like that's
my happy place. Like I don't like nothing can affect
you in the shower because there's there's nothing there. There's
no technology, time doesn't exist there, So I don't I
don't really want to associate crying in the shower.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
I that's fair. You shouldn't take away your happy place
and change it with something else. But I will tell
you a good cry the showers very It's like cleansing.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's almost like you feel like the the cry didn't
happen because you went in and cried and you got
washed away.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I just like a beer in the shower. Is that
the same thing?
Speaker 2 (34:11):
We can roll with that. I think a bear shower
is great. Different experiences, but yeah, it also doesn't count.
You know, beer in the shower, it's cleaned away from
the body you spill it.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He just goes down. A beer tastes better in the shower,
it does.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
You're not wrong. Okay, we're gonna take one more quick
break and we'll be right back to talking about some
more fun, kind of random topics. All right, Mike, we're
gonna talk movies and TV shows because you are a
movie guy. What movie scene traumatized you for life? Now?
I have two of these that come to minds, so
(34:44):
I'll let you like think on something in mind.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
You have it, ye, Okay, roll with it.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Mine was signs. I saw it in theaters. It's the
m night Shyamalan alien movie. Yeah, and the scene whenever
the alien first appears on screen and walks across trauma
ties me. That was one of the scariest moments I've
ever experienced in theaters.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Okay, because it was an alien or because.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Of all the tension leading up to it. That movie
doesn't show the aliens that much, it builds up the
suspense in your mind. And again, this was like early
two thousands, and there was just this moment where the
entire theater gasped because it's the first time you get
a glimpse of the alien. It's on this like shaky
found footage and then you just see it walk across.
(35:27):
If you watch it now, you're like, man, the graphics
like a little suspect. But at the time that was
the most terrifying thing. That freaked me out for so long.
And I remember leaving the theater that day. I was
with my cousins and my brother and I had to
ride in the back of a truck to get back,
and I was just terrified. And that stayed with me forever,
and that scene still freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Oh yeah, that's that's a really good one. I don't
even know that I can recall that movie. Most of
the scary movies that everybody made me watch when I
was younger, I've definitely blocked out in my brain.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I'm not a horror movie person, and I'm too traumatized.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I am a baby.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I am a horror movie person. I've been chasing that
same feeling ever since.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
You went like opposite direction and I went like, I'm
gonna hide in a hole.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I gotta get that joke scare moment again. But yeah,
it still traumatizes me.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Okay, the one for mine is from Final Destination three.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Did you watch that movie?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Yeah, I've seen most of them, and I think they're
making another one.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Oh god, yeah, I'll never touch those again. I'm pretty
sure Final Destination three is the only one I saw.
I never saw any of the one two or anything after.
But there's a tanning bed scene and she dies in
the tanning bed. And at the time of this movie
coming out, I was going in tanning beds all the time.
That was like the cool thing to do, and obviously,
you know horrible. Never do that.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
It's bad for you.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
But at the time I was and I remember this
movie happening, and that was like what cured me from
going to tanning beds. I stopped going because I was like,
you can die in these things, and of course it's
like the most exaggerated, like most extra scenario, but it's
still a possibility. And as soon as I saw on
a screen, no chance. So I have not touched a
(37:07):
tanning bed since that movie came out.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I have another one from Final Destination. I don't know
if it's the same movie, but it's whatever. There's like
a semi in.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Front, yes I know we're talking about Gohad, sorry.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
And the log like comes through then kills him. Like
every time I'm on the highway, and it doesn't even
have to be like a semi like that, but anything
hauling something that I feel could fall off. I'm like,
I'm getting out of this lane.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
I'm the same exact way.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Reference I've seen every time, because I'm like, is it
evident to me.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
It's true, not even just the log. It's like to
your point, like anything when it's hauling, but especially if
I ever see anything just like cylinder, like the log,
like if it's metal, if it's pipes, anything of that nature.
I'm out.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I'm not in that lane because of that movie I had.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I did have like kind of a freak out moment
when we had our snow. You know how people get
the snow on top of their car and they don't
like wipe it off.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
The ice missiles, Yeah, it one hit me.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I panicked, like you should see me swarf like I
didn't know what to do. It was like an out
of body experience. It hit me and I was like Mariocarlico,
and I tried to swerve. Obviously I didn't because I
didn't know where it was coming from.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
It was terrifying.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I'm really thankful that it didn't do any damage to
like my windshield or worse. But those things are scary,
Like why don't people get rid of those?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I guess too lazy to dust on the car.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I mean, I get it, it's freezing out like the
whole thing. But man, once you've seen or experienced one
of those, as you call ice missiles, I will never
like make sure my car snow has gone from anything
that was traumatizing.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah them all.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
It was so very final destination moment that I also
did not realize was going to be connected to that.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Okay, what is the biggest lie that you believed because.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Of a TV show? Mm?
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Good question, and I can I can go first.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, so for and it could be a movie too,
not just not just a TV show.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
But the thing that inspired this.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
And I hadn't really thought of it, was there was
a meme and it was like friends taught me that,
like people go and have breakfast before work all the time,
and that's not true at all, totally true, Like I
have never known anybody in my life who has breakfast
before they go to work with their friends unless they
actually all live together or something.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
So huge lie. That's what inspired this.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
But I actually thought flying monkeys existed because of Wizard
of Oz for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
It was a real creature, yep.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And the best part was like I was even I
even played a flying monkey, and like a play of
Wizard of Oz, I thought they were real.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
I thought these things were real for decades.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
I think it was in my like middle twenties where
I finally realized I that, okay, those aren't real. The
flying monkey is not a thing. I just thought for
some way, like somewhere out there in the universe, there
was a flying monkey and that was where it was
God inspired from. But sure enough there are no There
are some obviously they jump in stuff, but they do
(39:52):
not fly.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I feel like there could be like some science experiment
that somebody made, like trying to cross breed two animals,
and there's some kind of flying monkey.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
If we get the flying monkeys from wind pause, we
should all be in bunkers.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I terrifying too, they are.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
They are mean, what about you? Did you come up
with an for me?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
And like movies, I always thought it was a real
thing that police could just take anybody's car. Oh, and
like I'm police officer, I need your vehicle. That happens
so much, and you can't really do that.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Do we know that? That's for sure? They can't do that.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
You can do that. You can't just go and like
take somebody's car because you're chasing somebody. There's so much liability.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
There that it's true.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I guess I thought that they could do make advice
about it.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Those the FBI police, like CIA shows definitely have given
me a version of all of those types of government
like programs, and I don't think any of them are accurate.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
If I meet any of them in real life, I'm
gonna have a whole lot of questions like do you
guys do this, or like.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
No, this is not real, it's all TV.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
It is all right, dumb debate. How do you like
your water cold or room temperature?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
I am pretty much a room temp guy.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I I had this heart of it.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
I was on the date with a guy and for
some reason he really wanted to like super cold water,
and I was like, that hurts my teeth white, what
that's weird? And he was like, really, I thought it's
weird to get room timp water. So you're also a
room timp person.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, Like I'll have my my water bottle and it'll
be cold, but by the time I drink it, it's
room temp because I don't really like cold, like especially
with ice. Like I'll never drink ice water.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, I guess the only times I drink ice water
at a restaurant, mostly because I just don't want to
be the person who done who like asks for water
without ice.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
I feel like, for the most part I get even
at restaurants, I get just straight up water.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Some of them have definitely like moved over it, like
just water with no ice, but there's still some places
that do ice water chain restaurants.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
That's it, you know.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh at school, they're still in the same they still
have a little ice buckets and stuff. I do love
sonic ice though, but beyond that, I really I don't
like like the chunks of ice. I've also been on
dates too, or I'll take a drink of water and
they do have ice in it. I'll like get a
cube and I'm like, I am stuck here. How to
either sol this whole or spin it back out. There's
(42:10):
nowhere between, and I have done both and it has
not been a good experience.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Yeah, in general, I'm just not an ice person unless
it's ice coffee.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Aside from that, like, I don't put ice in anything.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
And when you drink ice coffee I'm assuming you're drinking
out of a straw too, so you're not really like
dealing with the cubes.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, I don't have the teeth or the ice hitting
my teeth.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Okay, I'm with you. We are room, Tim. I'm curious
any of the cold water drinkers out there because you
might be a little crazy.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
But I also like chug water, Like I would just
chug like a twenty four like glass of water, and
you can't really chug ice water or cold water.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
That is true. I wish I could chug water. I
wish I was better. I'm trying so hard, especially with
everything that I have going on.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I am trying my dangist to drink so much water,
and I am I'm not.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Doing great on it. And that's me like actively trying.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I've had to, like I purposely drink a lot of water.
I'm to the point where I drink a gallon a
day without like trying to, just because I have to,
like to run as much as I do, I have
to keep my body hydrated. Yeah, so like I'm always
just craving water. Problem is you peel a lot, which sucks.
But I find drinking room tap water helps with it
because you can just chug it. I used to be
(43:25):
able to, like chug a beer really fast too, Okay,
I could chug.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
I just transferred it from the beer to the water.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Like I took what I learned about downing beers to
drinking water. Now, Okay, they used to be my party
trick of like how fast I could chug a beer,
like not shotgunning it like straight up. I could beat
people who were shotgunning it by drinking it normally.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Do you think you still could?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Probably not?
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Yeah, and anything gets transferred too much.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
I feel like the I don't drink a whole lot
of carbonated stuff, so I feel like the bubbles would
get me now, Yeah, because that's really what you got
to fight through, Like when you're whenever you open up
your throat, get the beer down. It's the bubbles that
like your logic with my tea. Yeah, it's the bubbles
that I get you. But you have to like open
up your throat a little bit to just like pour
it into a hole and not think about it.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
My dear, I can't even open my throat to take supplements.
You should see me take it.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
I'm like, oh god, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
I can't even do that, like let alone with the
water or alcohol.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
I am like, if you ever see me taking someuplements.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Sometimes I have to like lean my head back and
like for a tiend, like I'm like shoving it back
in there because for something in my brain stops working.
It's like my brain's like we're not gonna swallow today.
So apparently that's how I am with water and supplements
and then you're over here, guzzlin. I need you. I
need your techniques all right. Last one, are you the
type of person who will pay for parking if it
(44:45):
keeps you close to something? Or are you the type
of person who parks far away because it's either free
or super inexpensive but you have.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
To walk a long way.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
I am all down for parking as far as possible
to get the cheapest price. Like here, when we go
to concerts in Nashville, we will park as far as possible.
It's like a mile walk at that point, but the
parking is like twenty dollars less. I am all about that.
I hate paying for parking. It's such a waste, gosh
it is.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
I am one hundred percent in agreement with like pay.
I hate paying for parking. It is my like and
everywhere you go in Nashville. Sometimes I will not go
if somebody invites me to something, if I know I'm
gonna have to pay to park, I'll be like.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Sorry, this is just not for me.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
But I have gotten to a place where I've started
to pay for parking up close. You know why. It's
because by the time something will end, I'm like I don't.
I don't want to walk that far. Now, Like the
walk to it was fine and I didn't care because
you're like going to it, you're excited.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
Then you leave, You're like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Want to walk a mile. This is horrible, and then
you're like stop. It's just I've had so many horrible
experiences walking a while because I just decided to, like
you know, not pay the twenty dollars or whatever, and
I was like, I can't do it anymore. Something some
a switch turned in my brain and now I'm like,
I'm just paying for it.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Some days I hate myself for that.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
But yeah, even at the mall they have like that
vip poh yeah, yeah, I won't do it. I'm like,
I'm not paying to bark at the mall.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah no, no, no, those I want to do. But
like anytime I go to downtown stuff, or I go
to a place where I just know there's probably much
a paid parking around and there's like you can either
find street parking or paid parking, I just I get
so frustrated and I lose a lot of patience. So
I'm like, I'm just gonna pay the park it's gonna
be But there has been there have been times where
I have like been like, I'm a paid park and
(46:29):
I go in there and it'll be like forty dollars.
I'm like, never mind, I'm going back out. Yeah, I
like I find something new.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, anything over forty I'm like, I'm walking. I can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
It is true, I have a threshold depending on the scenario.
In this situation, one threshold is like fifteen dollars and
the other threshold is forty, like depending on the event
or situation. Like if I go on a date downtown,
I have threshold this is fifteen dollars, and you'd be
surprised how many of them are like thirty dollars.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
So I do end up doing a lot of walking,
but I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
I think it's different when I'm here in Nashville versus
in another city. Like in another city, I'm more open
to paying for parking. But it's something about being in
the city you live in and then going to park there,
like I was just parked at home. Am I paying
to park here now?
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (47:12):
And for me, though I live I love enough away
from the city that in uber each way costs about
fifteen dollars or twenty.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
So it's like here, this is where I start to
justify it.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
I was like, if I'm gonna pay whatever I would
have paid to Uber, then I'm stuck in the same scenario. Now.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I really also like to save money.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
I am relatively frugal, which many people may not know
that about me, but I tried to save money in
a lot of ways, so I will try to like
do it. I'm like, I'm saving ten dollars, so that
that counts here or you know what I mean, Like
I'll do that, all that math in my head, and
then there's sometimes I just get so exhausted. I'm like,
just just pay the thirty dollars and just kinda happen.
(47:51):
But it is everywhere. It pays for parking now everywhere.
It's like you can't go anywhere without having to pay
something at this point. And maybe that's just Nashville in
our city, but I feel like it's becoming the thing.
In most most cities, they're like paying for parking because
it's easy. The thing that I should have got into
for business was buying a freaking parking lot.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I mean, it just generates money, no overhead, You do
nothing you have to maintain it.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Heck, you don't even have to give people tickets. You can,
you'll make more money, but like you don't even have
to you know what I mean? That was the one
business I.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Should have got in on when I first moved to Nashville.
It's buying a freaking parking parking lot, parking garage. I
don't know what that overhead cost is. Not that I
had that money, but I should have.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
And then I hate the ones where you have to
like enter in your information, like get to go to
a website and put in your credit card, like the
ones where you can just walk in and it scans
your your license plate. I'm like, Okay, that's cool. At
least I don't have to think about it.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Yes, But those I have trauma with I always have
to tell them I'm leaving. I'm like, I don't believe
you that you're gonna make sure I left. You're gonna
up charge me ten more dollars. So I always like
going that. I'm like, I left, leave it alone. Oh man, Okay,
well we're gonna jump out of here.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
Mike.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
Tell the people where they can fine to you, hear

The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part one.
I had a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Happy Weekend, everybody, welcome to the Best Bits. Mike d
is joining me.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, Mike d Uh, how's it go? And I forgot
what to say in that instance.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
The words are hard. Sometimes it's okay, Well, it is
a Saturday and we're here hanging out and catching up
on all things life. But Mike, you haven't been on
since you went to the super Bowl. And I know
obviously super Bowl's passed, but I need like details.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That was the most wild experience I've ever had, never
been to a super Bowl. I haven't even been to
that many NFL games. Really. I think that's like my
third NFL game of like all maybe fourth, I guess
my fourth.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You're never going to be able to go to a
regular NFL game again.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
No, And it was wild. And I know at this
point you've all heard what happened in the super Bowl,
but I think just being there and the energy was
something I wasn't expecting because even though it was a blowout,
it was so entertaining to be there. There was like
a vibe and energy in the room and we were
like up high, but even being up high, we had
like the perfect view. Seeing the behind the scenes of
(01:06):
the halftime show was awesome how quickly they put that
stage together and how quickly they tear it apart, even
though we couldn't really hear it from our perspective. But
I think just being in the city of New Orleans
during a Super Bowl was crazy because I'd never seen
a city with so much security before. You'd walk down
the street and there were cops everywhere. I'd go to
(01:28):
Starbucks and there'd be like five cops there getting getting
a coffee. Anywhere you went there was heavy just police activity.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Which I suppose is a good thing.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, choppers flying by, so in a way it made
me feel more secure, but also kind of like something
gotta happen here because it was like it was intense.
They had like streets blocked off with like these little
like pop up almost like military checkpoints. It kind of
reminded me when I'd go to Mexico and there'd be
like people like armed guards standing in the road making
(01:57):
sure you were safe. But wild experience. I think the
coolest part for me was all the things we got
to do leading up to.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It, all of the interviews and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, we got to see like I love spotting celebrities,
that is my favorite hobby, and I could spot some secure,
some obscure celebrities. So being there, we went to two
days of Radio Row, which is where all these radio
shows and podcasts get set up and just people come
through the whole time getting interviewed. I was just like
focusing on work, but also like looking who was walking
(02:27):
around me and trying to like snap pictures of people
I could sending to people like hey, check out who's here?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Who was the big like top five you saw at
the Radio Row and at maybe at the super Bowl too.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh, I could do it like my whole week.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, do it break it down for us.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'll just go I won't rank these because I'm gonna
forget all these. I'd say. The one that caught me
the most off guard is I saw the Costco guys
from TikTok Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's like Costco guys commercial and then I was like,
oh yeah, OKAYD.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And his son and they were in like a cameo
cyber truck getting dropped off to their hotel. Because I
would just walk around like after we were done for
the day, I would just go walk around because I
was trying to spot celebrities. Yeah, because I knew like
Blanken eighty two was in town. I was like, if
I could spot them ount somewhere, I would love to
just run into them.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
That would be cool. But no, no, blank one two, No, Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So that was when I was just walking around and
I see this just flashy cyber truck pulling up to
this hotel. And this hotel was like where all the
celebrities were staying, because it was like right downtown and
there were just a line of just black cars SUVs
dropping people off and out of everybody. I was excited
to say. I saw the Costco guys get out and
I was like, that's them. They bring the boom. Did
(03:37):
you say Hidyth No, cause I think it was kind
of weird for me, like I knew they were famous.
But then also he's like a kid, He's like an
eight year old, and I'm like, that's kind of weird,
and it's like a whole family, and I was like
that was it was cool in the moment I told
people about it, But that was the one that I
was like that who gets excited about the Costco guys.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Well, it's also like Bobby always says that famous relative
and you find the people that you love and who
you're gonna be excited about, and you learned one of
yours that kind of caught you off guard, like ex
like that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That was one another one random on the street, I
saw Dave Portnoy, who's like the head of Barstool.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I started seeing like I was walking to dinner and
I saw like two or three dudes with barstool hats
and I was like, yeah, big Barstool fans. And then
I see this other guy walking with two security guards
next to him. I was like, Oh, that's Dave Bortoni
and he was just walking around and I think that
was the kind of the vibe of seeing celebrities as
everything is going on.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Wait, I have a question. Did he have Miss Peaches
with him?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
No, it was just him.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Dang it. I would like, listen, cool, Dave portna You're awesome,
But like if he had Misspeeches, I would have freaked out.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
No, it was just him.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Bummer makes sense. So because I don't think Miss Peaches
could have gone to his role.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It was wild to see him with like that much
security because he I mean he's famous. I feel like
he's a type of person who a lot of people
would come up to and bombard and also possibly try
to fight him.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, because he's kind of controversial in a way, like
he loves to share his opinions, and when you share opinions,
you're always like gonna have both sides because I've seen
a bunch of his posts before and there's always people
in the comments and stuff just going at him, or
then you have people supporting him. So maybe that's why,
and he does. I mean, he's got a massive following.
Barstool Sports is huge.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, so that was cool. That was random. Yeah, I'd
say the next one would probably be Emmett Smith, which
we interviewed him the day of. But that night I
went to the Post Malone bud Light Show m HM,
which was cool for me because that was like the
first time I saw post Malone was at a bud
Light show, which is always like a smaller venue. I
(05:42):
think this venue only held like three thousand people.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That man loves his bud Light yeah, like the Lifetime partner.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
So he's yeah, he's all bud Light. And then I
was in the crowd and they had like this VIP
section next to the stage where all these people were.
There was like a lot of people who had been
there for this Super Bowl, and I just see Emmitt
Smith there with a liquid death water in one hand
and like a beer cup in the other hand, and
he's just having the best time, like singing along nos
(06:11):
every word to every post Malone song, and then everybody
around us just starts to notice that that's EMMITTT. Smith
over there having the best time. So you just see
people start yelling just em and then he's going off.
So I was like, I gotta film this, and I
filmed him singing and that was just cool because I mean,
that was all my world's coming together. That was me
(06:33):
at a post Malone show. I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan,
so there's one of the greatest Dallas Cowboys of all
time singing a post Malone song. I'm like, I couldn't
even like think of this, And when I was a kid, like,
how is this even gonna happen? Now?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Is Emmitt Smith known for being like that? Or was
that kind of out of characture for him?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I mean, he's a pretty I'd say he's a pretty
out there guy.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Okay, like pretty outgoing fun.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, he's a fun guy dancing with the stars, so
he's pretty extroverted, Okay, But I think it's just weird
seeing him, like anybody in that like have that good
of a time. Like, aside from like Taylor Swift at
an award show, I don't really see celebrities like enjoying
themselves at a concert. It's so true and dudes at
their backstage or somewhere else when they're like too cool
(07:18):
and they're like not even paying attention. He was like,
actually just like having fun like everybody else.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, he just was there. He was there for the party.
He didn't care that he was in at Smith. He
was like, I'm her party. Was that also a cool
experience for You've seen post malone twice in a twenty
four hour span.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Twice and for free, Yeah yeah, and in pretty intimate
settings like that was the smaller venue. I was further
back because it took us forever to get into the show.
I waited in line for an hour.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Did you go to that first one by yourself?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I went with read our video guy and then he
left like halfway through the show to go meet up
with the other guys. So I'm like, I'm not gonna leave,
and I have no problem being at a concert by myself. Yeah,
I figured so after a while it was just me.
But when we got there, there was a line to
get in, and the line I thought to get in
was actually the VIP line. So the line we had
(08:06):
to go in was general admission. And we kept walking
and walking and I'm like, surely the line's gonna It
was so long that I was like, there's no way
this is the line, and we just kept going further
and further back and we're there for an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Dang.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Like Luckily we made friends with the guys behind us, Yeah,
and it was it was kind of like a fun
bonding experience. But I've never waited in line for an hour.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Before, right, look at you making friends. Yeah, that's kind
of a little up to obviously, I know, like, you know,
fun short term friends.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
It wasn't like long term friends. But are you proud
of yourself?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
A lot? It was a guy and his brother. Dude
was a lawyer. Other his brother was like there for
a minute. They went to go get a drink, so
mainly talked to his brother for the most part, but
there was like a bonding experience of us both liking
posts Malone he was like, I think I kind of
blew his mind in a way because it was a
weird part. Like I don't get recognized a whole lot,
(08:58):
but there was a moment I got recognized in line
and like somebody came to talk to me and they
took a picture with me, and then the whole time
I've already been talking to this guy for thirty minutes,
He's like, wait a minute, what exactly is happening here.
That's a weird moment for me because when I get
recognized and have to explain it to somebody else, I'm like,
(09:18):
I'm not famous, Like this is a very like rare occurrence,
and it's so like it's hard to explain exactly that situation.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
It's hard to explain to people you know, let alone
people you don't really know. So like when I feel
like when you're out and about and you're with your
friends and family and stuff, they're kind of like, Okay,
well we know you and we know what you do.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, it's so weird that it's happening.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But when it's people you don't even know, then they're like, wait,
I miss something am I like missing a piece of
this and it's it's funny to kind of watch the reaction. Yeah,
what kind of happened.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's exactly what happened. And then he was just like
asking about that and he's like, Wow, this is weird.
He's like, why are you waiting in line? I'll say,
I'm like that's why. Like what I do gets me
in this line, but it doesn't give me to the
front of this line. Like I'm not famous like that
by any means.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Okay, So we made friends. Yeah, we saw a post
mill and twice in forty eight hours you were in
the super Bowl. Lots of famous people. Any other famous people.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I would say, uh, famous for me. I saw The
Workaholics Guies Okay, as a Comedy Central show that I
really loved growing up.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think I know who it is, but keep talking.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And they were both they have like a show podcast too,
and they were working next to us.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Oh yeah, no, all like especially two of them, is
that I kind of looks like weird out? Is that
not weird at?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Blake Andrews, That's who I got a selfie with before
we left. Like, I didn't take many pictures while we
were there. Because we were working. But I was like,
the last day we were leaving, he was leaving at
the same time. I was like, hey, man, gonna get
his selfie with you. He was like, yeah, man, very chill.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
He seemed super chill.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And then the other two Adam Devine and Anders Holmer
in a whole bunch of movies.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, Adam Divine is probably the most famous out of
all them, Like he was getting recognized the most people
yelling at him. He was also they were also all
at the post Malone show and he got recognized too,
and they were yelling at him.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Okay, that's cool. It was just like a celebrity week.
Were you just like high on life?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, I just lost funny celebrities. And the last one
was I saw Keegan Michael Key from Key and Peel.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh yeah, okay, I'm looking him up, just a bit
of face to the name, and.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I just saw him walking around and I was like, Oh,
that's that's Key from Key and Peele.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It's so funny because like you say their names and
you're like, there's no way I know like who these
people are, and then you look them up. You're like,
I've seen them in so much stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, he's been in a lot too.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
He's a major actor.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Big voice actor too. Any animated movie comes out.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
He is in it and he's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Was he like really outgoing in person?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Or would they seymore chill?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
When I saw him, he was like go into the bathroom, okay,
So I was like, I can't touch him on that.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That's awesome. So many stories to share, and yeah, you're
never gonna be able to top that for an NFL
game unless maybe the you know, the Dallas Cowboys are
in the super Bowl and.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
That would be the only difference. And after going to
a super Bowl, I have to imagine how nerve wracking
it is for your team to be in it. Because
it was a low pressure game for me because I
didn't really care being a Cowboys fan. I'm not an
Eagles fan, but I almost enjoyed their fans there more
than the Chiefs fans because there was like a when
(12:24):
we were there, there were seventy percent Eagles fans. It
was it felt like a Philly home game when you
were in there, and I kind of respected that a
little bit, even though now it sucks that they're in
our division and it's like there's a Super Bowl champs.
But in that moment, I was like, this is cool,
like to see them cheering and like being so passionate,
Like I could respect that.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Okay, which was better super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This one or the Dallas Cowboys where you went with
the whole Jerry Jones, you were there at the stadium,
the house.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, nothing is a good a top the Dallas Cowboys day.
That is the best, Like that is something that can
never be replicated. Like I could go to another Super
Bowl and pay a massive amount of money to get in,
but that day cannot happen like that again, like flying
to the game and Jerry Jones helicopter, Like that's not
gonna happen again.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's so true. I wondered though, because listen, those are
like two top tier events.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I don't know how you choose.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But I'm also not like you're a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan,
diehard Texas Longhorn fan. I like k State, you know,
I'm not like the End of the World Forum. So
it's a different probably perspective for you. That's why I
was so curious between the two.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, my top three sporting events. Number one will always
be that Dallas Cowboys game where we went because we
also got to interview Jerry Jones before the game got
out on the field, and then we won the game,
so it's like everything went right, like that could never
happen again, like we could go again and we could lose,
but that was perfect. Number two is this super Bowl
we just went to. And then I think number three
(13:54):
would be probably the last Texas Longhorns game I went
to because we also got to go down on the
field and my wife got to be a part of that,
and that's like the one time like she gets to
experience the cool part of like my job and my connections.
She's like, Okay, this.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Is cool now, just that one time though, like all
this other.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Time when you're all stressed out of working too much,
that's not cool, but that that's cool.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
This one off, six hour moment. Okay, we're gonna take
a quick break and come back and speaking of your wife,
we're going to talk about some live updates. Yeah, all right, Mike,
talk to me about life.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
How are things going, what's happening with you.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm having a big decision with my teeth right now. Okay,
I am at the stage where braces could have come
off by now, and the plan was for me to
get a dental implant. And the whole reason it's taken
so long is because we've been trying to make space
on a side of my mouth that has two gaps.
Whenever they first took out my teeth, they took out
(14:53):
my wisdom teeth, and they took out some other teeth
that were like cramped in there, and we've been trying
to make space to put an implant in. And then
I went to another specialist to get like a consultation
for it, and it freaked me out why what happened?
Because I initially thought it was a two step process
(15:14):
where they essentially put in like this holder into your
mouth that takes a while to heal from, and then
they actually screw in the implant, okay, And then I
went to this specialist and they told me that I
guess since those other teeth had been out so long
that the bone had like evaporated or diminished or something,
(15:37):
and I would have to do a bone graft to
kind of repair that. And the entire process with everything
was going to take like eighteen months. But that bone
graph sounded gnarly.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So when you say bone graph, are they like basically
re in a way, rebuilding the bone.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, because I guess there's like some bone above your
teeth where if you were getting an implant, they would
be able to I guess drill into okay, to put
the little like hole I don't know exactly what it's called,
but essentially like this wholer thing that they can screw
the implant into. But since I've had that missing tooth
for so long, that is kind of not there anymore,
(16:16):
so they need that foundation to put it into.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
So it's kind of like just gum right.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, And that sounds like the worst process out of
all of them, because I would be down recovering for
about two weeks post.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
That, meaning like couldn't eat probably hard foods, you had
to like eat certain foods, you had like.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Pain in your mouth, a lot of pain, probably couldn't
speak very well. And I mean in the two weeks
it's like just like generously I could feel I feel
like it could be longer, and there's not a guarantee
that once I get that done, that it's gonna take.
So they could put it in there and then be like, well,
we actually can't even get the next part we need
(16:58):
into so.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
How big of a possibility that it does work.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I I think it was more on the side that
it would work, but they didn't really tell me so
much about what happens if it doesn't, got it. So
that part seemed like the most daunting to me.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And understandable too, because nobody even likes going for a
dental cleaning. And that's nothing against like dentist, hygienists and
dentists themselves.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
But I have no problem with the actual like process,
like once I'm there of them digging in prime like
I don't have I'm not freaked out by the dentist.
It wasn't that. I think for me, it's the recovery
part of like how long it's going to put me
down and how much it's going to affect like my
day to day life for that long. Yeah, and I
know there's like this big, bigger picture you look at
of like, yeah, you're in discomfort for this amount of
(17:48):
time it takes over a year to do, but it's
like the lifelong benefits of it. So I tried to
outweigh that because a lot of times whenever I get
faced with somebody telling me something like that my immediate
reactions and he's like, I don't want to do it,
and I kind of recognize that and knowing like, okay,
but this might be me shutting down being freaked out
by something new. Let me give myself a second to
(18:10):
think about it. And I did think about it for
a week before I had my following orthodontis appointment, and
I was like, I just don't think that's the step
I want to take. And I even asked them in
that first consultation of like, is this gonna affect at all,
like any health thing, like if me not putting a
tooth in it, Like, is it going to affect me
(18:30):
in like a negative way? And pretty much he said
that it's just like a cosmetic thing, like it's not
going to affect the way that I eat or speak
by not having that. It's more cosmetic than anything. And
I think that was my main concern of like, if
it's not going to affect like my teeth down the
line of not having one, then I don't It's not
the biggest deal to me. But luckily after that, I
(18:50):
went back to my orthodonist and we kind of developed
a new plan with my current dentist of instead of
doing the implan, I'm going to get a bridge, which
I hadn't heard about, okay, which sounds it's a lot
less invasive. Essentially, I could get it done in about
two appointments where they so I have the missing tooth,
(19:11):
and what they do is they file down the two
teeth around it and then they put essentially it is
like this bridge thing that it's like two almost like
they look like little teeth caps, and they put under one,
put it under the other one, and then the fake
tooth goes in the middle of that.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Interesting, and where does the bridge sit, like on the
roof of your mouth kind of.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It's like on the teeth. Yeah, So they file down
the teeth and put it like right over it. So
it's almost like I guess to put it like in
where you could kind of see it, like kind of
like if you're putting dentures on, but it's on there permanently.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So it wouldn't fall out easily.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No, it's like in there. Once it's in there. They
told me it would last if I take care of
it ten years and then.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
You just have to get a new one.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, he said. Essentially, it's not that it it's ten
years and done. It's that's like the shelf life they
put on it Google is it'll last ten years, but
if you are good about flossing and cleaning it, it
can last you a lot longer. It's kind of like veneers. Yeah,
because veneers, I think they if you google that, they
last like ten years before you have to get in replace.
So it's kind of that same thing of like when
(20:13):
you would get like a like a molar put in
or something. So that sounded a lot better to me.
And I think the reason that some people choose one
or the other is because some people don't like the
idea of having like their teeth filed down, which I
think they had to file it down like a millimeter,
which lot a big deal to me. Yeah, So I
was like, that just sounds like a lot easier to
(20:36):
do and a lot easier to recover from. Yeah, And
I think overall, I'm like, that's yeah, if it's not
going to really affect my mouth health, and I think
that's the way I'm going to go.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Yeah, And it gives you the bigger picture, a long term, right.
What you wanted out of all of this was you
wanted to have like the smile that you loved, and
it gives you that because you already have most of it.
This is the missing piece. So I'll still give you
the thing that you want without doing a pretty invasive
surgery that may not end up working. So I feel
(21:09):
like you feel good about that answer based on just
talking it out.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, Because the other thing was apparently the space,
like they're trying to like create some symmetry of like
my left tooth and my right side tooth, and the
tooth on my left side would not match the implant
they would put on my right side because the space
isn't as big, so they're like it won't look completely
right because I think it's like maybe two millimeters smaller.
(21:36):
That's even weirder if I get another tooth, then it's
like not the same size, which I don't care that
much about. But that's also why I have to keep
the braces on a little bit longer to make a
little bit more space for even what the bridge they're
going to put in. Yeah, so like those are little details. Also,
when you speak to orthodontis and dentists, they're perfectionists, which
that's their job, Like they're going to want it to
look like as pristine as possible, as lined up as
(21:59):
as can be. And I think for me, coming from
having as cricket of teeth that I did have, I've
already come like where I want to be, and I'm like,
I don't need it to be perfect. There are imperfections
in the teeth that are going to be there. I'm
not looking for like a million dollar smile. I just
want to feel more comfortable.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, And I feel like you're in a place with that,
and I think this answer will give you that without
making you uncomfortable in the long term, because you could
end up doing it to your point, you couldn't up
doing it. They could put the random tooth in there
and then you're like, what have I done?
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know, and you don't want to be in that
position either of.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, going that far and being like this is stuck
in there.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I can't take that back.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah. I just feel like at some point in that
process I would regret it and it would be too
much because you go to take eighteen months and there's
three times that I would have to be put under
for an hour.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
For a cosmetic. It just seem like like I'm not
in I don't think I need to do that to myself.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
No, And honestly, your teeth look great, Mike. Like you,
we always notice our imperfections so much more emphasize than
everybody else. And until you ever talk to me about this,
I never would have noticed personally. But maybe that's also
because you haven't been comfortable enough to smile. You know,
I don't know how much you smile on pictures.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Do you soft smile more than you regular smile.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I think in the last maybe year or so, I
smile more with like full teeth, just because they are
the straightest they've ever been. And I think it has
been that one side that I noticed where I am
missing that tooth that I try to like not angle
myself towards that, and when I do, I'm like, I
(23:46):
boast on that one. Yeah, And even like with my
wife and I take pictures, I'm like, you'd be on
this side.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's understandable. But you know, everybody also has a good
left or right side. So that's a lifelong paer.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, so that's it. I think everybody that to some extent.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Well, I'm happy you have answers. I'm sad for you
that you kind of had to make a hard decision
because honestly, if there's especially anything I've learned in the
past month with all of my vertigo stuff, like hell,
stuff sucks, and when they come at you and give
you like these are your options and none of the
options are super great or what you wanted to hear. Yeah,
(24:23):
you just it hurts everything in you, but especially something
that like whether you're going to be faced with it
for the rest of your life, whether you're something that
you're not getting answers in the way that you really
planned for, for the way that your lifestyle is, however
it may go. That's frustrating. That's a frustrating experience, and
you can't do much about it. You feel very out
(24:44):
of body, out of control, and you just have to
like kind of prepare yourself for the best case scenario
that you feel comfortable with. And that's not fun. Like
being an adult sucks, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
And this is one of those moments for you.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But you sound happy about it at least what you
came with your dentist versus the other option.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, I feel good now that there's a plan. I
guess there's not like a full timeline of when it's
all gonna happen. But now that I know it's not
going to be another eighteen months of that, I feel
a lot better about it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Good, I'm glad, I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I can't wait to see the finished product after all
this happens.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I bet you're not even gonna be able to tell.
That would be my guess.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, I think so. Like the more I look at it,
I don't feel it's as noticeable to other people. And
like the way like my teeth sit and everything they've
been trying to fix. I think by the end of it,
it's going to be good.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Just remember I told you though, when you take off
your brains for the first time after so long, you
may feel a little traumatized.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Well, I did have them all for like a month
in between, like my old ones and my new ones,
and that was wild. I just kept like feeling my
teeth when my tongue, I'm like, this feels weird. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It's like you have to get used to a new
person almost because you're so used to having this kind
of fixture accessory, and then you take it away you're like,
who am I. It's like if somebody wears glasses all
the time, and all of a sudden they stop wearing glasses.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
It's a different person.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
And there's also like things I haven't been able to eat,
Like I can't eat apples right now. Like there's a
lot of like crunchy foods I can't eat.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Has that always been the case or just right now?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
No, Like the whole time I've had them is because
if I if I bite into something crunchy, it could
pop a bracket. So there's a lot of foods that
I've not had and I'm waiting, Like I can't eat
any kind of almonds or cashews, which I love.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Oh my dar, I'm pretty sure when I had versus,
I ate all us.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Really I.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Did not listen very well.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
You're you're doing great, You're you're abiding by the rules.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I guess if I an adult, I like, I'm following
all the rules because I don't want to miss anything
up or delay it any longer.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I was gonna say I wasn't high school, so you know,
I was just.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Like, you don't care as much.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
The rules don't apply to you.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
The wild part is with adult braces. Whenever last time
I called to make my appointments see that specialists they
thought I was a teenager. They were asking me these questions.
They're like, yeah, you could probably ask your parents and
check with your insurance. I'm like, I think I had
that with my job, not with my parents. Are like,
oh data burst. I was like, They're like, oh, okay,
they probably.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Should have asked the data first.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
They make a lot worse sense. I think that is
a frustrating part with any kind of calling a medical office,
which I know they're just doing their job, is it
feels so impersonal at times that they're just like trying
to like get you, and I'm like, man, I'm a
human here, it.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Is, dude, Mike. I feel that on such a level though.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I have a lot of health stuff going on right now,
and I'm trying to get a lot of stuff established,
like with the primary care, which I haven't had one.
I know that's not great, but I've had horrible experiences
with like primary care doctors who like all they want
to do is like send you to test and you
pay like fifteen hundred dollars out of pocket. You're like,
what was that for? What am I doing? And so
(27:52):
I never had one, And now with all the health
stuff that I'm having, and I've had to get like
established because I'm trying to get sent to different specialists
sincy thing. I had a full blow Minty Bee yesterday, Mike.
I broke down for solid twenty minutes where I was like,
I am alone.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I have zero help. I have to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
There's no like, there's no there's nobody I can fall
on to fix this.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I just have to figure this out. And it was like.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Everywhere I turned, I was just hitting walls and I
wasn't getting answers that I needed and I full like
just full on, was like I'm done. You know, I
really don't want to be an adult right now. I
would like to do none of this anymore. And I
like freaked out. And it's because they make it so
difficult mental, but all of the different structures of medical
(28:42):
they make it so difficult to get the help that
you need. And I know that's not like any of
the doctors or side. It's like the insurance in the Yeah,
oh it's horrible and I don't understand it. You could
give me like a whole list and I'm still confused
by it. I'm like, what does that mean? So this
is a network, but it doesn't work work What would
it make that make sense to me? And then we
(29:03):
have an entrance that even isn't in our state, so
how does that work. It's just all those kind of things.
So I had that full blown adult breakdown. And then
on top of that, my house is also falling apart,
falling apart, well, my car. We learned my car died, right.
I had to place replace the battery, my WiFi stopped working,
had to replace my whole Wi Fi system. I Uh,
(29:25):
last night, three o'clock in the morning, my smoke alarm
starts going off.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I'm like, what the are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Right now? Wouldn't stop being I replaced it. I'm up
on a ladder, still dizzy, and this is not good
for anybody. We're good, And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna
pass out, and I'm you know, nobody's gonna find me
for like three days, and I'm up here trying to
change it the battery. It still won't stop beeping. So
I'm pretty sure I need to replace the whole smoke
system whatever. I literally ended up like turning off half
(29:51):
my breaker last night. I was like, I'm going to bed.
I'm not dealing with this right now. That's my life
this week.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
How do you deal with a mental breakdown? Because I've
been there, Like when you feel so overwhelmed, life is
just kind of like piling up on you. What has
been your like go to, Like I just need to
take a break, a reset.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I kind of just have to force myself to sit
in it, honestly, for that's like my first step. I
just have to allow myself to feel whatever's happening, because
if I don't, it's just gonna flood out in different
ways or I'm gonna take it out on somebody and
that's not fair to anybody else, Like I could take
it out on the poor ups guy that comes to
my house, you know what I mean. So I'll sit
(30:30):
with it for however long I need to. Like yesterday,
after it happened, I sat on my couch for just
like two hours and like mind less scroll. I couldn't
focus on anything else. I wasn't even trying to touch
my work. So I'm just gonna this is not gonna
end up well as far as me doing the best
work that I can do. So I literally just sat
there for two hours and then I had another appointment,
(30:51):
and I was like, okay, deep broath, we just have
to have to do this appointment and we'll come back
and take another break. And just as much as I
need to, I take breaks until I finally feel like
I've caught my breath, because the mental breakdown feels like
is where you like the breath gets taken from you
in a way, and so I have to do things
(31:13):
that will like help me catch my breath, but I
have to do it interminutely. It's not like I can
do it all again at once. I have to do
a little bit at a time and they'll take another
break a little bit at a time. But then it
like set me back because you know, I didn't go
to bed till like one am last night because I
was taking so many breaks because my brain couldn't comprehend
all the stuff that was happening. So it was like
(31:35):
that helps, And then now today after I plan to
like go for a long walk, try and reset in
that way. Yeah, walks help, And I'd love to go
work out that's always typically my way, but I can't
work out. I haven't been able to work out for
a month, which is also not helping my.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Mental or physical health.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
So normally I would go for a walk and then
i'd go work out and i'd have like a really
good reset.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
But I can't do that right now.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So typically, how do you handle a mental breakdown.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I'd say, like full on mental breakdown, like I've had
panic attacks before, breathing always helps, as basically as it sounds,
just like, breathe. Take a minute. Whatever you're worrying about,
just try not to think about it for a few
minutes and just breathe. I think that always helps. I
can't run when I'm having a mental breakdown because I'm
full on, like about a loser mode. So that's why
(32:25):
I'll walk. Like if I'm walking, like that means like
it's because like running is how I like keep my
mental health in check and like I take a break
from everything. That's like just normal. But if I'm having
a mental breakout breakdown, I can't run because if I
go run, I'm like I'll like start crying. Yeah, I'm
at that point, So I'll like if I'm walking, that
means I'm going through it. And then a hot shower
(32:48):
is like my go to saving right now, like some
maybe because it's been like cold lately, but if you
get in the shower it's like super hot, like steamy.
I feel like that kind of resets me. It's almost
like to me like making an advil, Like if I
have like a I feel mental breakdowns, or even like
when I get like into a depressive state, I get
(33:09):
like this weird headache where it feels like there's something
like just over my head where it's not like a
real headache, like I need to take some kind of medication.
But I feel that in that moment, I'll get in
the shower and it kind of like lifts it away
a little bit. So that's like my my natural advil.
It'll go take a hot shower.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
That's good. I do listen. I do love a good
cry in the shower.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Do you ever cry in the shower?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Nah, I've never cried in the shower.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
You never had like your movie moment when you just
sit there and you're like I'm in a movie. I'm crying.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Not recently, maybe some time, but I can't recall a
time like crying in the shower. I feel like that's
my happy place. Like I don't like nothing can affect
you in the shower because there's there's nothing there. There's
no technology, time doesn't exist there, So I don't I
don't really want to associate crying in the shower.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
I that's fair. You shouldn't take away your happy place
and change it with something else. But I will tell
you a good cry the showers very It's like cleansing.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
It's almost like you feel like the the cry didn't
happen because you went in and cried and you got
washed away.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I just like a beer in the shower. Is that
the same thing?
Speaker 2 (34:11):
We can roll with that. I think a bear shower
is great. Different experiences, but yeah, it also doesn't count.
You know, beer in the shower, it's cleaned away from
the body you spill it.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
He just goes down. A beer tastes better in the shower,
it does.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
You're not wrong. Okay, we're gonna take one more quick
break and we'll be right back to talking about some
more fun, kind of random topics. All right, Mike, we're
gonna talk movies and TV shows because you are a
movie guy. What movie scene traumatized you for life? Now?
I have two of these that come to minds, so
(34:44):
I'll let you like think on something in mind.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
You have it, ye, Okay, roll with it.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Mine was signs. I saw it in theaters. It's the
m night Shyamalan alien movie. Yeah, and the scene whenever
the alien first appears on screen and walks across trauma
ties me. That was one of the scariest moments I've
ever experienced in theaters.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Okay, because it was an alien or because.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Of all the tension leading up to it. That movie
doesn't show the aliens that much, it builds up the
suspense in your mind. And again, this was like early
two thousands, and there was just this moment where the
entire theater gasped because it's the first time you get
a glimpse of the alien. It's on this like shaky
found footage and then you just see it walk across.
(35:27):
If you watch it now, you're like, man, the graphics
like a little suspect. But at the time that was
the most terrifying thing. That freaked me out for so long.
And I remember leaving the theater that day. I was
with my cousins and my brother and I had to
ride in the back of a truck to get back,
and I was just terrified. And that stayed with me forever,
and that scene still freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (35:48):
Oh yeah, that's that's a really good one. I don't
even know that I can recall that movie. Most of
the scary movies that everybody made me watch when I
was younger, I've definitely blocked out in my brain.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
I'm not a horror movie person, and I'm too traumatized.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
I am a baby.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
I am a horror movie person. I've been chasing that
same feeling ever since.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
You went like opposite direction and I went like, I'm
gonna hide in a hole.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I gotta get that joke scare moment again. But yeah,
it still traumatizes me.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Okay, the one for mine is from Final Destination three.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Did you watch that movie?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Yeah, I've seen most of them, and I think they're
making another one.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Oh god, yeah, I'll never touch those again. I'm pretty
sure Final Destination three is the only one I saw.
I never saw any of the one two or anything after.
But there's a tanning bed scene and she dies in
the tanning bed. And at the time of this movie
coming out, I was going in tanning beds all the time.
That was like the cool thing to do, and obviously,
you know horrible. Never do that.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
It's bad for you.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
But at the time I was and I remember this
movie happening, and that was like what cured me from
going to tanning beds. I stopped going because I was like,
you can die in these things, and of course it's
like the most exaggerated, like most extra scenario, but it's
still a possibility. And as soon as I saw on
a screen, no chance. So I have not touched a
(37:07):
tanning bed since that movie came out.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I have another one from Final Destination. I don't know
if it's the same movie, but it's whatever. There's like
a semi in.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Front, yes I know we're talking about Gohad, sorry.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
And the log like comes through then kills him. Like
every time I'm on the highway, and it doesn't even
have to be like a semi like that, but anything
hauling something that I feel could fall off. I'm like,
I'm getting out of this lane.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
I'm the same exact way.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Reference I've seen every time, because I'm like, is it
evident to me.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
It's true, not even just the log. It's like to
your point, like anything when it's hauling, but especially if
I ever see anything just like cylinder, like the log,
like if it's metal, if it's pipes, anything of that nature.
I'm out.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I'm not in that lane because of that movie I had.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
I did have like kind of a freak out moment
when we had our snow. You know how people get
the snow on top of their car and they don't
like wipe it off.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
The ice missiles, Yeah, it one hit me.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I panicked, like you should see me swarf like I
didn't know what to do. It was like an out
of body experience. It hit me and I was like Mariocarlico,
and I tried to swerve. Obviously I didn't because I
didn't know where it was coming from.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
It was terrifying.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
I'm really thankful that it didn't do any damage to
like my windshield or worse. But those things are scary,
Like why don't people get rid of those?
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I guess too lazy to dust on the car.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I mean, I get it, it's freezing out like the
whole thing. But man, once you've seen or experienced one
of those, as you call ice missiles, I will never
like make sure my car snow has gone from anything
that was traumatizing.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah them all.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
It was so very final destination moment that I also
did not realize was going to be connected to that.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Okay, what is the biggest lie that you believed because.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Of a TV show? Mm?
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Good question, and I can I can go first.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, so for and it could be a movie too,
not just not just a TV show.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
But the thing that inspired this.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
And I hadn't really thought of it, was there was
a meme and it was like friends taught me that,
like people go and have breakfast before work all the time,
and that's not true at all, totally true, Like I
have never known anybody in my life who has breakfast
before they go to work with their friends unless they
actually all live together or something.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
So huge lie. That's what inspired this.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
But I actually thought flying monkeys existed because of Wizard
of Oz for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
It was a real creature, yep.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
And the best part was like I was even I
even played a flying monkey, and like a play of
Wizard of Oz, I thought they were real.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
I thought these things were real for decades.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
I think it was in my like middle twenties where
I finally realized I that, okay, those aren't real. The
flying monkey is not a thing. I just thought for
some way, like somewhere out there in the universe, there
was a flying monkey and that was where it was
God inspired from. But sure enough there are no There
are some obviously they jump in stuff, but they do
(39:52):
not fly.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
I feel like there could be like some science experiment
that somebody made, like trying to cross breed two animals,
and there's some kind of flying monkey.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
If we get the flying monkeys from wind pause, we
should all be in bunkers.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
I terrifying too, they are.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
They are mean, what about you? Did you come up
with an for me?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
And like movies, I always thought it was a real
thing that police could just take anybody's car. Oh, and
like I'm police officer, I need your vehicle. That happens
so much, and you can't really do that.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Do we know that? That's for sure? They can't do that.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
You can do that. You can't just go and like
take somebody's car because you're chasing somebody. There's so much liability.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
There that it's true.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I guess I thought that they could do make advice
about it.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Those the FBI police, like CIA shows definitely have given
me a version of all of those types of government
like programs, and I don't think any of them are accurate.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
If I meet any of them in real life, I'm
gonna have a whole lot of questions like do you
guys do this, or like.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
No, this is not real, it's all TV.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
It is all right, dumb debate. How do you like
your water cold or room temperature?
Speaker 1 (41:00):
I am pretty much a room temp guy.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
I I had this heart of it.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
I was on the date with a guy and for
some reason he really wanted to like super cold water,
and I was like, that hurts my teeth white, what
that's weird? And he was like, really, I thought it's
weird to get room timp water. So you're also a
room timp person.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, Like I'll have my my water bottle and it'll
be cold, but by the time I drink it, it's
room temp because I don't really like cold, like especially
with ice. Like I'll never drink ice water.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Yeah, I guess the only times I drink ice water
at a restaurant, mostly because I just don't want to
be the person who done who like asks for water
without ice.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
I feel like, for the most part I get even
at restaurants, I get just straight up water.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Some of them have definitely like moved over it, like
just water with no ice, but there's still some places
that do ice water chain restaurants.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
That's it, you know.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
Oh at school, they're still in the same they still
have a little ice buckets and stuff. I do love
sonic ice though, but beyond that, I really I don't
like like the chunks of ice. I've also been on
dates too, or I'll take a drink of water and
they do have ice in it. I'll like get a
cube and I'm like, I am stuck here. How to
either sol this whole or spin it back out. There's
(42:10):
nowhere between, and I have done both and it has
not been a good experience.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Yeah, in general, I'm just not an ice person unless
it's ice coffee.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Aside from that, like, I don't put ice in anything.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
And when you drink ice coffee I'm assuming you're drinking
out of a straw too, so you're not really like
dealing with the cubes.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, I don't have the teeth or the ice hitting
my teeth.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Okay, I'm with you. We are room, Tim. I'm curious
any of the cold water drinkers out there because you
might be a little crazy.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
But I also like chug water, Like I would just
chug like a twenty four like glass of water, and
you can't really chug ice water or cold water.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
That is true. I wish I could chug water. I
wish I was better. I'm trying so hard, especially with
everything that I have going on.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
I am trying my dangist to drink so much water,
and I am I'm not.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Doing great on it. And that's me like actively trying.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
I've had to, like I purposely drink a lot of water.
I'm to the point where I drink a gallon a
day without like trying to, just because I have to,
like to run as much as I do, I have
to keep my body hydrated. Yeah, so like I'm always
just craving water. Problem is you peel a lot, which sucks.
But I find drinking room tap water helps with it
because you can just chug it. I used to be
(43:25):
able to, like chug a beer really fast too, Okay,
I could chug.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
I just transferred it from the beer to the water.
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Like I took what I learned about downing beers to
drinking water. Now, Okay, they used to be my party
trick of like how fast I could chug a beer,
like not shotgunning it like straight up. I could beat
people who were shotgunning it by drinking it normally.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Do you think you still could?
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Probably not?
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Yeah, and anything gets transferred too much.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
I feel like the I don't drink a whole lot
of carbonated stuff, so I feel like the bubbles would
get me now, Yeah, because that's really what you got
to fight through, Like when you're whenever you open up
your throat, get the beer down. It's the bubbles that
like your logic with my tea. Yeah, it's the bubbles
that I get you. But you have to like open
up your throat a little bit to just like pour
it into a hole and not think about it.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
My dear, I can't even open my throat to take supplements.
You should see me take it.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
I'm like, oh god, I'm joking.
Speaker 2 (44:15):
I can't even do that, like let alone with the
water or alcohol.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
I am like, if you ever see me taking someuplements.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
Sometimes I have to like lean my head back and
like for a tiend, like I'm like shoving it back
in there because for something in my brain stops working.
It's like my brain's like we're not gonna swallow today.
So apparently that's how I am with water and supplements
and then you're over here, guzzlin. I need you. I
need your techniques all right. Last one, are you the
type of person who will pay for parking if it
(44:45):
keeps you close to something? Or are you the type
of person who parks far away because it's either free
or super inexpensive but you have.
Speaker 3 (44:52):
To walk a long way.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
I am all down for parking as far as possible
to get the cheapest price. Like here, when we go
to concerts in Nashville, we will park as far as possible.
It's like a mile walk at that point, but the
parking is like twenty dollars less. I am all about that.
I hate paying for parking. It's such a waste, gosh
it is.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
I am one hundred percent in agreement with like pay.
I hate paying for parking. It is my like and
everywhere you go in Nashville. Sometimes I will not go
if somebody invites me to something, if I know I'm
gonna have to pay to park, I'll be like.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Sorry, this is just not for me.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
But I have gotten to a place where I've started
to pay for parking up close. You know why. It's
because by the time something will end, I'm like I don't.
I don't want to walk that far. Now, Like the
walk to it was fine and I didn't care because
you're like going to it, you're excited.
Speaker 3 (45:42):
Then you leave, You're like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Want to walk a mile. This is horrible, and then
you're like stop. It's just I've had so many horrible
experiences walking a while because I just decided to, like
you know, not pay the twenty dollars or whatever, and
I was like, I can't do it anymore. Something some
a switch turned in my brain and now I'm like,
I'm just paying for it.
Speaker 3 (46:00):
Some days I hate myself for that.
Speaker 1 (46:02):
But yeah, even at the mall they have like that
vip poh yeah, yeah, I won't do it. I'm like,
I'm not paying to bark at the mall.
Speaker 2 (46:08):
Yeah no, no, no, those I want to do. But
like anytime I go to downtown stuff, or I go
to a place where I just know there's probably much
a paid parking around and there's like you can either
find street parking or paid parking, I just I get
so frustrated and I lose a lot of patience. So
I'm like, I'm just gonna pay the park it's gonna
be But there has been there have been times where
I have like been like, I'm a paid park and
(46:29):
I go in there and it'll be like forty dollars.
I'm like, never mind, I'm going back out. Yeah, I
like I find something new.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, anything over forty I'm like, I'm walking. I can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
It is true, I have a threshold depending on the scenario.
In this situation, one threshold is like fifteen dollars and
the other threshold is forty, like depending on the event
or situation. Like if I go on a date downtown,
I have threshold this is fifteen dollars, and you'd be
surprised how many of them are like thirty dollars.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
So I do end up doing a lot of walking,
but I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
I think it's different when I'm here in Nashville versus
in another city. Like in another city, I'm more open
to paying for parking. But it's something about being in
the city you live in and then going to park there,
like I was just parked at home. Am I paying
to park here now?
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (47:12):
And for me, though I live I love enough away
from the city that in uber each way costs about
fifteen dollars or twenty.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
So it's like here, this is where I start to
justify it.
Speaker 2 (47:22):
I was like, if I'm gonna pay whatever I would
have paid to Uber, then I'm stuck in the same scenario. Now.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I really also like to save money.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
I am relatively frugal, which many people may not know
that about me, but I tried to save money in
a lot of ways, so I will try to like
do it. I'm like, I'm saving ten dollars, so that
that counts here or you know what I mean, Like
I'll do that, all that math in my head, and
then there's sometimes I just get so exhausted. I'm like,
just just pay the thirty dollars and just kinda happen.
(47:51):
But it is everywhere. It pays for parking now everywhere.
It's like you can't go anywhere without having to pay
something at this point. And maybe that's just Nashville in
our city, but I feel like it's becoming the thing.
In most most cities, they're like paying for parking because
it's easy. The thing that I should have got into
for business was buying a freaking parking lot.
Speaker 1 (48:11):
I mean, it just generates money, no overhead, You do
nothing you have to maintain it.
Speaker 3 (48:15):
Heck, you don't even have to give people tickets. You can,
you'll make more money, but like you don't even have
to you know what I mean? That was the one
business I.
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Should have got in on when I first moved to Nashville.
It's buying a freaking parking parking lot, parking garage. I
don't know what that overhead cost is. Not that I
had that money, but I should have.
Speaker 1 (48:33):
And then I hate the ones where you have to
like enter in your information, like get to go to
a website and put in your credit card, like the
ones where you can just walk in and it scans
your your license plate. I'm like, Okay, that's cool. At
least I don't have to think about it.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Yes, But those I have trauma with I always have
to tell them I'm leaving. I'm like, I don't believe
you that you're gonna make sure I left. You're gonna
up charge me ten more dollars. So I always like
going that. I'm like, I left, leave it alone. Oh man, Okay,
well we're gonna jump out of here.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
Mike.
