Best Bits: Raymundo’s Life in the Country & Morgan Had an Out of Body Experience

Published Mar 22, 2025, 1:00 PM

Raymundo shares the latest on country living, and Morgan has questions about small town drama tea. Then they each share people they feel bad for right now, and the last time they let an intrusive thought take over.

The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan.

Part one.

I hang a scene with a member of the show.

Welcome to the weekend, everybody. Ray Mundo is joining me. What's upright? You there? It is, wait to start our Saturday course. Thanks for being here. We're gonna just kick things off. I need to have some updates on life in the country, cat dad, life, all the things that is.

The beauty of country life. There's really no updates. Nothing happens in the country, okay.

But like when you say nothing, are you at least doing something? Or you just go home and you just chill on the front porch and that's.

All you do. Well, when I say nothing, I tell lunchbox. The skyscrapers change every day. When I first moved here, there were four. A year later there were four, and then the show Nashville happened, and there now, all of a sudden, there's twenty skyscrapers. It's almost like New York City and Nashville.

Are you sure there's only twenty? O you canon think there's more.

I say the ones that stand out, okay. And I know that because there's a mural at my gym and there's four skis and I look outside, there's way more than four. But in the country there's no skyscrapers. The same businesses that were there thirty years ago are still there.

Do you like because a later pointing this, I'll mention the show I've been rewatching that I love, but it's very small town centered. Do you feel like you start to get to know everybody and you're kind of all like you're constantly seeing the same people when you go places, or do you hang out with enough people in your little town enough to know yet?

Definitely, the grocery store lady knows me. We're friends with the Amish people. The whole town is basically my wife's last name. So there's a relative on every street corner.

Got it? So you guys already kind of know people.

Yeah, there's one degree of separation any direction. Usually I go to the golf course, I'll see a cousin. I go acrosstown to another golf course, got a cousin working, But a lot of cousins.

And where I live, is there like drama that happens and you get a catch up on. It's kind of tea small town little happenings.

Only drama that's had us.

Well, you know what I mean, Like when there's it's such a small town and everybody knows everyone, I feel like that's when stuff starts to happen. Yeah, that's how the TV shows make it. So this is why I'm asking.

No, No, there's definitely drama. I mean, there was a guy that lived with our Laura's aunt and he was he was gay, awesome guy. We actually partied with him and hung out with him, and he broke up with his dude and it was a bad breakup. And so I don't know if it really mattered to the story that he was gay, but I guess for me to say that he broke up with his dude, so then you knew what I was saying. And so then there was a bad breakup. Well, he had had pulled his trailer into my aunt's place and they broke up a year ago, and now he's dating another guy. Trailer's still there. So that's the current drama. Oh like, hey, move your trailer off the property. More cool with him. But maybe that's at the height of it right now.

See, I still like it. I carrying the fun small town drama.

And then there was there was goats and an ostrich and a llama. There was a lama. You can look it up online and it went on the interstate and it was actually that dude's llama and they were able to capture it and it didn't get hit by a vehicle or anything like that. Oh but the lama or the goats. And it wasn't an ostrich it was. It was a goat and a lama were just running down the road. Stop, traffic cops are out there. Just a massive thing to happen in our small town.

Did they both get caught?

They did? Yeah, it was good.

He just had the lama, so they're not worried about the goat.

Yeah, so that was That was big news in a small town.

See, but that's so interesting. That's the only news you get in a small town.

I got to open this drink. I went to the big city Whole Foods is what you call it.

Well, yeah, that's where we work. So when you come into the studio, you get to go to the city.

And guys, I'm all about principal and the principle of it because they don't cater to my hours. I want everything to be twenty four hours because I wake up at midnight. It's well known, and so they're not opening midnight. Whole Foods. They open at seven am. And I said, out of principle, I'm not ever going to eat or drink there, but I got something today from there.

Oh well, it was convenient, and it was the timing worked out that you were actually able to run down and get it. That's funny. But you do get the mix of big city with your small town vibe because you get it come to work in the city.

We're right near Broadway City Mouse Country Mouse. It's the best of both worlds. Nobody else experiences it. If there is somebody out there, let me know, because I don't think anybody else gets the half and half like I do. You do?

Okay, And how is Piper doing? What's update on Piper Piper now?

Because it's finally seventy degrees in Nashville. So she's on the patio. She's got her a little outdoor tent. She goes in, loves talking to her bird friends in her head. She's friends with them. I think the birds hate her, well, I think because.

She's probably saying I want to kill you versus you thinking.

She's been like I eight, let's hang out the thing we have to watch out for is one time with Pablo, our old cat, Rest in peace, Poblo. It's actually the anniversary of his passing. March Madness always reminds me of Pablo, beautiful soul, love and miss him so much. And Pablo. A hawk made a pass and actually dug into Pablo, and there's always a marking on him. So now with Piper, we got to watch out. Falcons, hawks, bald eagles, our nation's animal will watch you out. They're going for the cats.

Oh my gosh, you do need to Hawks love to go after especially cats because they look a little bit smaller, but they'll go after small dogs. They'll go after anything that looks kind of like resembles a rodent. Yep, in a way that's crazy. I didn't know that almost happened to Pablo. But that was in the city when you guys lived at the apartment.

No, it was back in college days. I got it, okay, But we always keep a left eye out. You never know when those things are coming through.

Well, especially now living in the city, are you gonna think about building Piper a little CaTiO?

Is that where there's actual wood and structure to it? Yeah, she's already got enough toys and enough stuff of the house.

But it's an outdoor structure where it's a patio. You know how you have a patio for humans, it's a cadio. So it's a cat patio.

Noah. My parents are in town, off and on. They're kind of doing some traveling, and we had so many toys, and I said, get these things off the ground. My father just got a new hip. He's gonna trip and need another new hip, all because of Piper.

Well, but she was playing probably right.

Way too many toys.

Well, that's why you get a cadio. Then you put them all out there with the cadio.

And she already has some cat structure in the main cave. And I go, if any of my boys come over here and see this, it is gonna be so impressive and embarrassing.

And then you say, strucker structure. Is it like a tree or is it stuff that's on the wall.

Yeah, it's a tree, and she primarily sleeps on it. So guys, can we get something that isn't as obvious she's just gonna sleep on it. Get her a pillow.

Here's such a cat.

Dad.

You know, I got a little visitor on my porch. It was a raccoon middle trash panda. Tell me it was the cutest thing ever. So I walk outside. This is actually really funny because I had.

It is funny.

Oh my gosh, no, speaking of cats and being outside. I had put a harness on Hazel.

We do that with pipe.

So I was gonna test out this in my little backyard, just on the deck while Rimy was going to the bathroom. So Remy's going bathroom, I have Hazel on my hands in her little horn. It's about to put her down such a mom and I looked to the riot. I was like, oh, we have a visitor right now. This is not an option right now. And I look and I just see these two little like eyes popping through my little like, uh, barricade. I guess if that's around the deck. And I was like, oh, little trash fan to hang out. And then I see it's little fingers that look like little lemur thing like grip onto the bars, kind of like it's in jail, but it's not. And it's like hanging from the side of my deck. And Romy's sniffing. She's going crazy. Hazel's freaking out of my arms. I was like, okay, everybody back inside.

What is the trash pan of going for?

I think it was looking for food. Would be my guess.

Which one was it going for? The cat or the dog or the you.

No, I think it was just startled.

Like.

I don't think it cared about any of us, but it was enough that it was going to cause a lot of ruckus. And if they all like managed to get next to each other, we would have had like a raccoon dog catfight.

If you would have of all the things you've gone through your or togo, you're maybe that's the only thing recently. Did you have any other outstanding warrants? Right?

Well, I did do my little life rant where it was about like the smoke alarm was going on, my car broke down.

All of all those things. You getting attacked by a trash panda would have been the low point of your life. Guys, I'll never believe this. Morgan got attacked by Ethi raccoon, Like I.

Thought, I was at my lowest. Boy, it can't go any lower.

Oh, you kept digging.

I don't think they attack humans, so I think they're pretty friendly. But I do think like there could have been a dog cat raccoon fight.

Jeez.

You know country life within the city.

Well, yeah, I was gonna say that's country coming to city. That doesn't all the time.

I do have. We also have a possume possum. I want to say that was a weird way I said that possum visitor that hangs out sometimes in the tree and will hiss whenever we come out.

They go inside the tree.

Yeah, it hangs out like lays in the tree.

Because I think in the true they just are on the roads.

They're climbing the trees.

There's armadillos, there's possums, there's moles arbivore or something we talked about on the show. So there's some weird stuff that you'll see out there.

Have you also seen groundhogs? I love a groundhog.

See these are bigger, so I don't think they're groundhogs, but they're a good and bad thing is they be a beaver.

We have beavers and otters in Tennessee and I've yet to see one.

They're going to be next to the water.

I know, and I've been on a lot of water.

That's probably where you're going to see them.

I've never seen them though, the fact that we just have wild otters and I've never gotten enjoy a wild otter. In Tennessee.

You got to hit up the lakes and rivers. My parents are traveling them right now and they send me pictures. It's gorgeous.

Where are they traveling on lakes and rivers?

They're going out west? So or out east? We're walling things about.

Oh yeah, like East Tennessee.

There you go. There's that song.

It's like, what are you talking about?

That's a wall in song?

No crap. I mean he has right out there. But you were like, they're traveling all over any reference rivers and lakes, And then I was like, I don't know where they're at right where? Oh I'm glad your parents are traveling. Is that because they're retired? Now? Are they enjoying retired life?

Yeah, they're retired and I love them. They're not weird. Weird is not a good word because it means people are odd, but they're just different. They don't go to Florida and sit on a beach and lay down. They like to be on the move. My dad just got his hip replaced nine days ago, and they travel. I think their trips maybe ten thousand miles. They're going all over. They went from Michigan through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri. Man mixed up those two Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin back to Michigan. And it's a month and a half long trip.

That's so much fun though, and they're not weird. I think that's awesome.

Okay, it's sometimes people just want to be beach bumps. But my parents are like, show me the parks in the water and the trees.

That's how I feel. I can't lay on a beach. I can do it for one day. You give me one day hanging out on the beach. I'm like, cool, I've had I'm satisfied.

Give me sad.

You just want to hang out there. You're not an active person on vacation. I'm like, put me on a jet ski, let's go Paara sailing.

No. I'm active, very active, but I love you go lay on a beach, you go play some beach volleyball. You're going for a run, you do a couple of drinks, then you take a little siesta. You're you're doing water games. I do some water volleyball, you do land volleyball. There's the kid playing soccer. You go kick around a soccer ball with a kid. I don't even play soccer. I'm active, but I mean I love me some beach.

See. But I could do that all one day. You make me do that for seven days, I'm gonna go crazy.

Oh so I can definitely do it for seven days. Especially your tan starts to get better. And if you go to a Spanish speaking place, all of a sudden, your Spanish is better. You're starting to become friends with people. You almost feel like a local. You're like baser. Couldn't you like balance some fruit on your head and you could pick up a job here. I could be a surf instructor.

I see, hey, now living that life.

I like it.

But I have often always said that I would like to retire in a mountaintown. So that that tells you anything about me.

I grew up in a mountaintown. Never went to the beach my dad. No, Never would my dad have taken us to a beach. Maybe we went.

No checond has beaches, right, they.

Do, but we weren't really next to the really nice ones, the different lakes, some of them are forty degrees. You don't go to a beach at a forty degree late Lake Michigan is nicer. People go to those beach lakes. Those are gorgeous. That's awesome, And.

I guess maybe those are considered lake towns versus beach towns.

It's all the same thing, one on one one or the other. But the thing is this, you grew up in whatever, and now you want mountain. I grew up in mountain when I was in Wyoming, So now I want beach. I never had beach for twenty years. Give me some beach.

Yeah, it is it. I'd be curious to know if for most people that end up being the reverse of kind of how you're raised. Now, granted, I did grew up with neither. I didn't have mountains or beach, so I guess it could have gone with either one.

You want to know the worst thing about mountains, This is such a sad story. I grew up with them for fourteen years in Wyoming. Yeah, you see them that you see the Rocky Mountains, and I believe they were actually the Sierra Madre Mountains. But you drive a little bit, you see the Rocky Mountains. It's all very gorgeous. You take it for granted. I was leaving. When I was leaving, my teacher goes, man, what's the only thing you're gonna miss out here? Pretty much the mountains? And I look up at them, and I'd never really realize that other places don't have mountains, and I didn't really care for them the entire time I lived there. And I go, oh, that's right, other places don't have mountains.

So was it weird when you finally move somewhere where there wasn't mountains.

Over so weird?

Yeah?

I just I thought every place had mountains.

It's crazy how you can grow up in your little bubble just to like, you know, until you decide to move somewhere else and have a whole different experience. But the landscape is definitely a thing. I mean, think about growing up in Kansas. It was flat. We didn't even have rolling hills, right like, at least not in Wichita. We have the Flint Hills, but you don't have rolling hills in the suburbs of Wichita. You don't have anything flyover state, So it's a flyover state very much. Jason Aldens sung And when I moved here, even driving down making the move to Tennessee. I was like, there, wait, there, it's hilly everywhere. There's actually like things you see that's landscape. It wasn't like I hadn't visited mountains and stuff before, but the fact that I was going to live somewhere where you could see a hill or maybe a mountain was a crazy experience.

Yep.

So I'm like the reverse end of you. You had it and then you lost it, and I never had it and then gained hills.

Look at that geography lesson right there, guys, guys, you're going to school even though it's spring break.

I might not have good geography skills, but we did it there. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back, all right, Ray, I'm gonna ask you a question about who you feel bad for right now, and I can give you a second to kind of think on this vamp.

Do a Bobby Bones vamp for me.

The reason I'm bringing this up is because I am so sad about the Southwest changes. I am just frustrated that they thought this was a good idea. I'm not sure who's making big dis decisions there, but this is the only thing that made Southwest stand out was free checked bags. This is the thing, and now I'm like, okay, well my whole life is going to have to change when it comes to travel. But I feel really bad for the Southwest social media managers because I've been watching them respond to all of these things Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and these poor people who had no say in this decision are having to deal with the repercussions of said decisions, see, and they're having to respond and be like we're really sorry, Like you just know that even they are probably sitting there wanting to respond and be like, this is the dumbest thing ever, and we get it. People are left and rights saying we're canceling you, we're not using you, and they're like, yeah, we're sorry. They don't even have a comeback.

Usually either a waiting on that account, though, aren't they They are.

One, and you have social media matters. Most of the time we'll have like fun with it and they'll enjoy it. But this is I think devastating for everyone that even the social media managers don't have a way to come out of this. They're just like we're sorry, we get it. Like cool, well understand. So I feel really bad for Southwest social media managers right now, do you have somebody you feel bad for right now?

I love me some Southwest. I'm a what is it called the passer that flies free?

Oh, the companion pass.

I am companion pass. I can fly to Hawaii for free.

Is that still happening? Is that still part of it? Yeah, you're still good on that.

Yes, we're fine with twenty five dollars bags. Okay, but we just do the credit card. Guys, it's genius. We pay for everything with it and you become within a year companion. You can fly anywhere in the country for free. So that's my take on that. But with the feeling bad for somebody.

Wait, but are you also a dude and you never check a bag? Oh?

I love me a backpack. But yeah, if it's a weak trip, I have to take a suitcase. Bazero get mad at me.

Okay, sorry, I had to ask you. I didn't if that was a different perspective.

It's always Uber eats drivers for me. That's so because I did Uber and when it's shifted to the Uber eats.

I say, they also clarify, how long did you do Uber for?

We're on a couple of rides, Oh, how many I made ask cash, but then Beazer told me, hey, on Friday and Saturday, I want a chill. Since you work so hard during the week, you're not gonna go drive around pick up drunk people on Broadway. Yeah, so how an if there's gonna be drug deal on Broadway, it's us.

Keep dodging the question. Okay, Uber eats drivers.

Because they shifted to that, and I go, man, you gotta go pick up food. Wait, think about getting towed. Then you got to go to a residence. You don't know how any of the access codes. Think about getting towed, then deliver the food. And I just so yeah, anytime, I'm like tip them, give them the premium pay. But and then I hear these reports they only make two dollars a drive. Why why is it so expensive to do the Uber eats because it sucks so bad? But I wish they would get they were getting more money. But yes, we're so willing to say somebody else will get this food because you go in there, your food's not ready. You don't know where to look for it. Where's John, where's Sarah, where's the manager? Where's my food? Why is it cold? They handle so much of it That's why it'll live forever, because nobody wants to go pick up food. It is a hassle. It's a convenient thing, for sure, and they do it for us every week, and it's it's worth the extra fee. You know, if you're doing it on a weekend. Guys, you can splurge on the weekends. Live below your means during the week. On the weekends to some Uber eats, you don't have to leave the house, do you.

Guys Uber eats out in the country. Yeah, Do you get it from.

Nashville, No, it goes up to No, it's different cities around the area, got it. There's some massive cities by I mean there's Hendersonville, Goodletsville, Springfield.

Got it. So, but you can get from those, but you never order from Nashville because what it'd be like a forty five minute drive, right.

Yeah, there's been times it'll pull from that and it is longer. But I swear they get us food just as fast in the country as they did. And we lived to the apartments.

Okay, still active out there, still got Uber eats drivers everywhere.

I feel bad for those people. I love them so much.

Yeah, and we did from too.

We did a subscription thing, where with Kroger they deliver your groceries. It's a per it's so worth it.

You don't like going into the gross store. We do have a friend at the grocery store.

Yeah. Yeah, that's my side grocery store that I go to when I cheat on my main grocery store.

Got it.

So the grocery store thing, guys, it's just it's so convenient. Whatever its subscription fee, I don't know. Baser says, this is a luxury we need to have, and I feel bad for them. I'm like, thank you so much for it. When they pull up, I'm going to get in the bags from their cars. They do.

I don't know if that's part of the surface. I think it's still allow them to bring it to the poort.

Now not me. I'm in their car grabbing crab. I'm great, there's a pop in the cup holder. They're like, that's mine. Oh, sorry, thought we ordered it.

You're just unloading the whole car. That's a good one. Okay, that's who we feel bad for right now. What about the last time you had an abtrusive thought takeover? You know what an intrusive thought is?

Yes, I'm I'm a terrible person. I don't know how to talk. I'm not good on podcasts. Me and Morgan's chemistry is bad. Man.

All the thoughts you've had, because now I know, I think we have great chemistry on the podcast, and.

That's what I was going to say with you. I always try to get this out of this podcast what I want to get out of it, and I want to have our chemistry awesome, and I want us to all talk equally. But I want it to be where I actually enjoy talking to you.

Are you enjoying it or where those are intrusive thoughts at the moment.

That's the only reason I do it, because I'm not obligated to do it.

So this is true, you're enjoy talking, Okay, Well, I'm glad you at least know what it is. But it could also be like silly things like where you see something like, oh, it'd be fun to like jump off of that, not like in a bad way for some people it is, yes, but you know, like you're like, oh, I really want to dive. You just have like intrusive thoughts all the time. I don't know if anybody else does. Maybe that's a me thing, but I feel like my intrusive thoughts just hang out in my brain every so often. And the other day this happened to me. Tell where, I had a very out of body experience.

Right.

I was in our elevator. You know how you see all the buttons every day, you go in and out, you press one button, you go where you.

Need to go. Hm, I go to pack alley.

Oh yeah, you don't typically take the.

Elevator stairwell, but I understand your elevator story.

You know what I'm talking about. So the other day, I go on the elevator like my normal routine, and I do not know what happened, But for five seconds, I was not in my own body because I literally hit every button.

What the vertigo?

I literally was like, uh, this thing is a Christmas tree right now? And I did it. But I don't know why? How what just happened? Like were you on acid?

Ray?

I'm not kidding you. It was like I was out of my body and watching my body do this and I couldn't stop it. It was the craziest experience and it happened within a span of like two seconds.

But I need a follow up. Was did anybody else get on the elevel and it was all the buttons. God I was I would have been like a kid came on, just ran off like some kids branking a bunch of little d heads around here. Man, the kids that live in this place, man, these new gen z ers, some girls doing a TikTok she like pin buttons ran off? So weird. People are so weird. How are you doing?

Literally?

Actually I did.

It, and I had to go down every single one because we're at one of the top fours.

But how did it feel?

It felt really good? But I'm like, I'm literally sitting there like looking at my hand, like, did I just feel like overtaking mine?

Alien? Like?

What did happened? It was so fast? Right, it was the weirdest experience I have ever had recently where I was just like, that was not me. Somebody else just took over my body for one minute. So interestive thought one that was my interns of thought that one recently?

Can it intrusive thoughts be? Where grab another drink on a Friday night?

A can be?

Yeah, see mine, it's usually the beautiful number is three or four drinks on a Friday night, no work in the morning. That's the best place to be. But then there's those intrusive thoughts where hey, have one more, get to six or seven, your buzz will be a little bit better. And every so often I will dip into that seven eight drink marker, and then your whole Saturday you're lethargic and you're not as motivated, and you don't feel as great as you should have felt, and you say, why did I listen to that intrusive thought? Why did I grab three more drinks out of the freezer outside.

That's a very real feeling. I've had that feeling that several times.

That's not really an intrusive thought I have. That was a terrible no.

Honestly, it's that's real life. That happens more often than not.

I guess intrusive is sometimes it's like, intrusive is really something I mean? Okay, Okay, I know what it is, so we have to submit. That was a decent example. Our truck drivers will love that example because when you're at the hotel and you're lonely at night, you have an extra beer. Okay, that's an intrusive thought. You guys get what I'm saying. But with show prep, we have to submit these ideas every day of our lives. Make your life a newspaper. Every single day we put out more newspaper articles in the New York Post. Good gosh, man, we gotta be us. Don't live a life to put that much. Yeah, I mean we're making out. We were making the freaking New York Times every day of the week, guys right here. And sometimes you're just like, that story sucks and I'll delete it of my life, delete it, and then I'll do it again. And it's just like, it was probably fine my dumbest ideas. Make the show. It was probably a fine thought. But I can't tell you how many times a week I'll be like, that's so stupid. I'll delete the whole thing after typing it for ten minutes, Like what idiot does that?

And I'm just like, and yours are really long, from what we've heard, at least on the show. You sit in like the full story in your show.

Prep well, because also the story that I do in that it kind of puts it back in, it put re ingrains it in my head so that I know all angles. I know kind of how Bones is gonna take it. The dumb comment lunch is gonna make Amy how she's gonna try and smooth it over, So you kind of play it out in your head. That's radio. It's just how we are. We don't we like what does it say? We view us as from a bird's eye view, like above us? You ever view your life from thirty thousand feet?

Yeah?

When we write these articles, we kind of do.

Yeah, you're kind of thinking in your head, how with this playout? Because it also will help you design if you want a prep it or not, because sometimes you don't want to.

Yep, and we're gonna have something coming up next week. Yeah, right alone, He probaly should have prepped that one.

Okay, we're still friends anyways.

But that's me. That's me.

That's a good one, though. I think a lot of that can be mixed with imposter syndrome.

Do you have imposter syndrome? No? No, I'm a very confident person.

Yeah, But like that can be imposter syndrome in the fact where you're like, no, this isn't good enough and you just don't realize it. You're just doing it because of you and the way that you're viewing it. But that could be you sitting there thinking like, well, I'm not good enough in this aspect, so somebody else isn't gonna like it.

Just kind of with that, I don't know, maybe I'm mixing up the two. But yeah, for me, I've always just been confident randomly, Like even in sports growing up, I always just thought I was gonna be a starter. So there was the times when I would ride the bench and it was so weird to me because in my head I just thought, oh, I'm a starter, and then I wasn't, you know, for a couple of times here in my life. Yeah, So I don't think.

I'm You don't think I've ever had imposters and that's impressive. No, got killer confidence, right? But you Okay, the guys give you a hard time because you all often say less stress, more life, but they say you're the most anxious person they know. Do you feel like you're anxious?

I am when it comes to parking and driving, and the examples that they use is when we would go eat at restaurants. They love sitting and parking over an hour when it says hour and I pay for an hour, and they love for a t expire and just to sit in the car and at the restaurant. Guys, when when your car expires with the parking, you can get a ticket. These tickets here in town are one hundred, two hundred, three hundred dollars. They are. It's not worth it with me at peg leg porker with lunch box. Hey man, I'm cool my cars expire. Oh whoa, I just got a ticket. It's not worth it. I'm gonna go sit in my car if I paid for an hour parking, I get that anxiety.

I want to do that too. I don't like my parking. I hate getting tickets. It makes me so angry.

And so they may also say, like because I get up so early for the show. But there's been times they've had to rebuild the butt of the entire computer. The butt. Yeah, there's different words for that, but it takes hours. And the engineers have told me verbatim, if you didn't get to work when you did, we would have never had this rebuilt by the time the show started, And I say, thank you. Can I put that on my file?

So it's worth it. A few times that you've needed to.

Be here, yeah, And I've built it in where I go work out or even sometimes I'll just sit back and just close my eyes for a second, and it's awesome. It's so peaceful.

Yeah, and at least you're here in case something does happen.

Yep. Think about going into a building and just having total peace and quiet to think any idea you need, any vacation you want to contemplate anything. It's the most beautiful thing. I don't nobody takes advantage of one am to five am like I do.

That is true. It's one of the most calm times of the day because nobody is out. There's no hustle and bustle. It's when everybody's technically sleeping.

Noather, they're out till like two am. But you get what I'm saying.

Yeah, well, you know most of the time, not Monday through Thursday most of the time unless you go to Germantown or Midtown.

Oh my gosh, is an intrusive thought. If I'm driving on at one am and I go instead of going to work, what if I just went to the bar.

Yes, that is an intrusive thought.

That is okay, maybe that hits me once a week.

Okay, but you've never acted on it yet, at least not yet. You have a randomly not shout up to work.

Maybe, just maybe I will next week.

Oh just maybe it might happen. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break and be right back before Ray comes up with more intrusive thoughts. Ray, I need to know what you would have done in this situation. So I went to a restaurant with a girlfriend of mine. We were sitting at the bar. We had a meal, all great, We had a drink, and we get our check and neither one of our drinks are on the check. Beautiful, do you tell them or do you just pay the tab?

No, that's a homecount hookup, hometown hookup.

But we didn't know the bartender. We didn't know anybody. We were just hanging out. Don't have to Okay, you would just pay the tab? Not said anything?

Makes your tip? Make it a little fat?

Mmmm? That's where you add in the extra money you got off.

Oh, say, there's been a bar or two around town. You noticed about I don't know, seven drinks missing off of it. It is fat in their tip a little bit.

Okay, that's probably a little bit more intentional on that side of it than this one. Well, we both looked at each other and we felt too guilty. We were like, we had to tell them because it we were too sober, Like we weren't even drunk enough to recognize that it was happening.

Amazing Americans, I did.

I ramm, a horrible liar, horrible liar. I think I would have even choked. How I just given it. I think I would have giggled giving him the card when I'm like, yeah, he'd be like, what's wrong with this girl? I'm such a bad liar in that way. So we ended up paying it. But he only made us pay for one drink when we told him, so we still ended up getting one for free, so it worked out.

Yeah, he wanted one of y'all.

No, that's what you think.

Yeah, based on that, Yeah, there's nothing I mean, slight of hand. You ain't gonna forget about two drinks. Their jobs talking about lunchbox on this on the podcast Man, there's people have such specialized jobs as a waiter. Say hi, nail the food menu, drink menu, what they're ordering. Boom they know they boom, boom boom, say goodbye to them out the door. You don't miss two drinks.

I don't know. I mean in my server days, I definitely miss things sometimes just so much happening.

Isn't it one of those things where the second they order it, you document.

It depends what it is. Sometimes, if you're running back to grab something, you don't have to ring it in, then yeah, you can easily forget it. Or if you go and get multiple orders.

You'll be doves.

Hug Hugh, you know I love to be doves. I I'd hook people up with ranch and blue cheese sometimes because they started charging for ranch of blue cheese.

Can you believe that girl gave us two cups of blue cheese for free? We're going to pay for it.

I help bad that people always had to pay for ranch and blue cheese when they did it't and people coming mad. I was like, well, okay, you get one, but I'll grab you two.

That a girl.

I tried to make it better. So those things, but like.

Hey, I got you an extra one, here's two.

There were he means, sound creepy.

There were a Q, wait, you're hooking up these people?

Other things They didn't know, but I was helping them out, got it. There were moments though, where there was so much happening, I'd forget to ring things in and I think that's what happened. I don't think it was them hitting on us.

Yeah, it's one of those where you don't want to forget to ring things in because you want the bill to be higher, because that's going to generate a more lucrative tip for you typically.

But so it we got good karma for doing it. We at least got one drink for you. So we only paid for one drink.

Some of these drinks in Nashville they got like seashells that are fifty dollars. They got the guitar shots that are one hundred.

Yeah, you must have just spent time at Hampton Special.

Yeah, and your little drink what it was in the it.

Was my sixteen bucks.

Yeah.

Yeah, so we only paid for one. It worked out, but I'm glad to know you wouldn't have.

Yeah, it's a gray area if I mean, that's the thing. If they're forgetting a seashell, you're like, holy crap, do I know the bartender and just hooked us up with a mother of pearls seashell at Hampton Social? That is true, that's a very experensive. That is a hook. Oh, we learned that the hard way that it was that expensive. Yeah, we're there for one hour, my buddy just in a seashell and some of these glitter drinks. Later the bill was two hundred. I'm like, get me back to the country. What justin? What are you drinking? That's in a seashell right now?

Okay, But cool experience. If you are coming to town with a group of people Hampton Social it is cool for that because you can that seashell you all drink out of, which make sure everybody's healthy. And then also the guitar shots are really cool because they put a little sparkler on it make it look like a VAP situation. But you're not paying the full.

VIP tab book early and go rooftop. Yeah.

Good see. Weave an national suggestion there too. All right, you've watched some TV shows, movies, stuff like that. Do you have a favorite actor? I don't know if I've ever actually asked you that.

I'm not specifics on that, but we're watching White Lotus right now.

Okay, hooked on that one.

This season's step down from the previous seasons, but still great phenomenal because it's about vacation. I live in vacation mindset.

You do you have two songs that are out about vacation boom. This is a thing, Well, I was looking at something. There was a thread on X the other day and it was who is an actor that is nailed every single role you've seen them in? And it was a hot topic. Is there anybody that comes to mind for you? Because I was trying to think of this one and I was thinking of like my favorite actors and all the things I've seen. For me, the one that comes to mind, there's two. It's Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. And I feel like every time I've seen them in something. Now I don't know that I've seen every single thing they've been in, but every time I've seen them in something, they crush. They're just superb, like top of the line, great actresses.

Got mine?

Okay, what comes to mind for you?

Bradley Cooper? Oh yeah, the Hangover? And then he did black Hawk Down or was it American Sniper or stuff like that.

I think he was an American sniper. Maybe do it black Clock Down?

He do good? He do good? Yeah, his stuff's good.

Yeah it was an American sniper. That's a great one. Yeah, it was. I don't know It's hard to come up with because, like if you think of people in their like really early roles. But that's when Anne Hathaway came in. She's Princess Diaries when I was a kid, and I loved her as Mia Thermopolis Ronald the Princess of Genovia shooh long title. Did you ever watch Princess Diary's Morgan?

No?

Was on Disney. No, everybody was watching Disney at one point or another.

I was. I was watching. My sister watched Hillary duff see Lizzie McGuire, Lizzie McGuire, and then she also watched on their circus Marcus Circus Circus. I don't know that I remember that one terrible reference and that was probably it. But yeah, she definitely watched the Lizzie.

McGuire and you watched it with her?

Or were you? Yeah, I'd see an episode. It was fine. It was pretty good.

Actually, so see you were watching it at the same time this was coming out. It was not a crazy one, Okay. I was making a reference to earlier your Small Town Life. I've been rewatching one of my old favorite shows. Did you ever watch Heart of Dixie? Was on c W Hell No, it was a great show. The dudes in it. This is the whole thing.

It's it's a female show.

Okay.

Is there a basketball or football in it or a baseball.

Well, the mayor of town is an old football athlete.

I'm in.

So they talk. They make a lot of football references all the time. Oh I do, yeah, okay, because of him. He played at Alabama, And you don't get any of them. I get references. I just don't like care to watch sports all the time.

You're gonna be watching it though. March Madness, all right, yeah, over the next month if you go to any bar, I don't care if you're into the games or not. You need to fake like you love March Madness, and that's how you're getting a dude.

I just don't care. I don't know why. I'm not a bone in my body.

Hey, you get everybody gets one life to live. But and you can live it any way you want to, but you can only live it once.

True. So so I like I like going to games. Take me to a game. I'm all about it. I'll be number one fan. But you know watching TV that I'd rather watch something else.

Right, But you're not talking to me right now, you're talking to people that are listening to this.

I know, but I'm also talking to you.

You're telling the guys right now. Guys, you hear that.

That's just personally how happen to a game? Good reference anyways, watching Heart of Dixie, it's so good. But I forgot because of when this came out. There were artists like Scotty McCreery, Gloriana Danielle Bradbury that came on this before they ever blew up in country music.

Interesting.

Crazy to watch them now. They look so so young, yes, and this is their very beginning of their careers. What's an odd way you've discovered an artist before where you're like, hmm, I didn't realize I found them this way? And then this might take you a second to think of it. You have all your favorites, you love Samharton.

Sam Hunt, Dave and Busters. When kids were flipping over at Vandy Bro's were flipping over tables in the parking lot and the cops had to close traffic because it was that crazy that this Sam Hun dude came to town.

I was gonna say, I still can't believe he went to a Damon Busters. That story will always give me.

Yeah, that's that is where you just become so big for the venues that they had previously booked, knowing not knowing how monstrous he was, Like he was the s in Nashville when he hit. When he hit, it was if not it was a little step down from Wallen, but it was really powerful. Yeah, like everybody was talking about him.

He did go on a skyrocket, like as soon as that song to your point, I want to I want to say the house Party was the first one that really blew up for him.

Yeah, house Party. You know, you had like ecstasy speakers on with.

I love all of those, but I think for like the mass majority of people, it was House Party. That's the one that hit for him. Yes, so David Buster's Sam Hunt. Okay, what about Kid Moore? You have a weird thing with Kid Moore too?

Really to his shows. I guess I he was because he's he's a Costa Rica guy and I lived in Costa Rica.

That's where that little obsession comes from. Yeah, Okay, well that was all I had. You got anything else you want to add before we leave? Any fun updates? Life?

I think we killed it. Yeah, Life right now, it's just gonna be a lot of golf over the next couple of months. It's finally hot in Nashville.

Is there any news about your guys' eggs? I know you mentioned something.

Yeah, we're not having kids for fifteen years.

Oh yeah, that's the latest updates.

I'm telling you, my cat's like a dog. She's like a kid as well. We're we have our hands are full, guys, no kids, no kids.

Well, and your wife still does want a dog, So are you working on building that fence?

Well that's been a hot topic. But I tell her you can get a dog right now, but when I'm at work, you're gonna have to get up and take it out on a leash because we don't have a fence. And I've heard from friends you have to build that fence real quick because it is so annoying taking your dog to go to the bathroom on a leash every time, multiple times a day.

Yeah, it is annoying to do that. I remember apartment living with Remy for several years, and every time she had to go out, we keep selling that was a thing.

But but was it really annoying?

It was annoying, but I loved having it.

Was it a lot.

Yeah, but also the potty train is crazy, Like seriously, this is why also adopted is really cool because you can get a dog that's like a year old and the potty training, you, guys, skip the whole face. Potty training sucks. You know how often I was up like once every hour with Rimmy when she was a puppy.

That's like having a kid.

It is trying to teach him because otherwise you're gonna have accidents in the house, in the bed, everywhere they're at. And so I was like, heck, 'mm even wore a diaper for some portion because it got to a point where I was like, girlfriend, we can do this, but like for the time that you are inside and keep wanting to a little trickle everywhere, I'm not gonna keep cleaning this up. So she had a diaper on at one point, and then she got trained pretty quickly as soon as that diaper went on.

But and honestly, the beauty of it to switch back to kids thing she froze. Laura FROs her eggs, so she has twenty three eggs that are gonna be there forever. And guys are blessed in the fact that we can have kids the lated we want forever.

Did you ever tell me if you went and got like tested and checked in it.

I got it tested, but we never made the embryo.

But you're good, like you got tested, you're good.

Yeah, they had just made the cut. Okay, I'm just kidding, idea. They just said good, whatever that means. But so, yeah, we can have kids later. It's like, maybe maybe we start the trend of let's let's raise these kids right in our seventies.

Oh boy, you're not even alive for when they like are in high school.

Yeah. Yeah, because you want to think you're going to live to one hundred and fourteen. They say that's the goal, because then you'll have lived a million hours on this earth.

That is the hope.

But you don't want to live any more than one hundred and fourteen.

Because they have nobody even lived one hundred and fourteen.

Rare. But just wait with me here for a second. Okay, So then we would have kids that are like, let's say we haven't met seventy, we would they would be thirty. Then they have kids, so we would be one hundred and one hundred, and then you just get to see your grandkids for a couple of years, and then you sail off into the sunset. You pass.

This is saying that you get over one hundred years old.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is this, but right, you know how rare that also, guys, grandkids are awesome. Maybe the Lord intended. Maybe we're not supposed to experience grandkids' lives. You know what I'm saying. You raise your kids right? At what age can you raise your kids right? You have no job, you got no responsibilities, You go to every one of the sporting events, seventy baby and retired. See my grandkids for one year, and then I pass away.

This is certainly a new outlook, and I love that for you. I would love to know Laura's thoughts on the time.

And then when you're in heaven, you're like, hey, how did the grandkids turn up? Oh my gosh, I went to jail. Okay, crazy? Well, yeah, I passed away. I didn't even see what they did.

You can be watching from above, you know, just at least I.

Raised my kids, right. But yeah, the grandkids went to jail. Yeah I did have any Hey, I had no saying that I was up here in heaven.

This is a strategy. This is not nothing. This is a strategy. But I definitely want Laura's hot taking on this thought process.

Now.
