The best Bits of the week with Morgan.
It's Listener Q and daytime.
We're Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.
What's up?
Everyone?
We are here for the listener Q and A times. Scoobs aka Scoob of Steve aka Steven I don't have any other names. Is here with me this weekend and we're answering some listener questions? Do you go with that?
Yeah, I'm okay, I guess I guess we could do that. This is the question answer one. Yeah, I don't really have a choice obviously, right, No you don't because I walk out. Then it's like you don't have an episode.
Yeah, I don't really have anybody ask the question too. I mean I guess I could answer them, but that'd be weird because they're directed towards you.
Have there ever been any questions? Because I don't listen to other best bits, just being totally honest, that's rude. I don't even listen to my own I lived it while I need to hear it again. But here's the thing, A question for you, is anyone ever not answer the question? Or but like I'm not answering that or.
Walked out of here?
Most of the time, if I have one that I question, I'll ask before we went to start. Before I'm like, do you want to go into this, and they'll say yes or no.
Oh, has there been a question that you wanted to get into and they didn't want to get into?
I mean there's listen, there's times that means.
There is the answers yes, well you don't have to go any further already, no, because that gets up by the layers.
Me. I am ninety nine percent in open books, so really, people ask me things and I'm most of the time going to answer.
Yeah, same thing. I don't give a crap whatever.
But that's not everybody on our show. Not everybody's necessarily like that.
The answers yes for people who want to answer questions.
Yes, but not openly. But I try and make sure all the listeners get their answers. But there are also things that get super super personal. I'm like, okay, we've probablyhod ye summer.
A little bit, let's sold security number.
Yeah, And those are the ones where I'm like, do you want to do this?
I would recommended yeah.
So so technically no, but yes.
Okay, I got the answer. I want to thank you so much.

That's a great, great one.
Rug Rats.

Because Nickelodeon they have all the Nickelodeon stuff. I'd watched that.
You just took edible.
Oh my god, your eyes are right now. Oh okay, Rugrats, rug Rats a real monsters, Doug Ren and.
Stimpy doesn't Lunchbox looks like Doug.
He does look a lot like dumb, especially when he like cleans himself up and he gets the short hair and everything.
Yeah, like the really baby face.
Yes, you seem like a country fast or whatever he looks like. He comes in all dude, dude, dude.
Okay, Michelle in Texas, on's know, your favorite nineties band?
My god, favorite nineties band would have to be between I would say Hooting the Blowfish and Asa Basse. Okay, there are the first two cassettes that I got, so I'm just biased towards them.
Okay, what are your top five bourbons? Roberto from Southwest Florida. He's not, in fact drinking bourbon, and he's drinking water right now.
I'm not sure what the Saturday though, So who knows what I'm drinking?
Are you sureating to take all something? No?
I didn't.
Okay, oh my god.
My favorite bourbon's I love whistle Pig. The twelve year Rise really good, and then the six years decent. So there's two. Three more would then be like Basil Hayden. If you can find it out your Costco, get it there. It's same size bottle. It's not like the massive size one, which you can usually ge bigger bottles and stuff, but get the one from Costco because it's like fifteen twenty dollars cheaper from the actual store, liquor store and stuff. Basil Hayden, that's three. Number four would have to be like Victor's Victor's Rye or Mictor's Bourbon's or Whiskey's pretty good, So that's four and five maybe Angels Envy it's pretty good.
All of these are like wild because I was ready for you to say, like a wild turkey, you're like a Jack Daniels. Are the names that I recognize. Then you started listening to these things. I was like the song.
Twelve track twelve and Whistlepig's album there were wilds.
Okay, well, yeah, there you go, talking about Robert.
That was an other episode we did. We're talking about Roberto. We're talking about evolving our drinks and going from one to the next.
Yeah, that's part one, gotcha part one?
Okay?
Cool gave away that this is a Wednesday that we're because we needed to record a little early this week.
Yes, so so evolving, So talking about the beginning to now, like back in the day would have been like, oh I love Jack Daniels, just a fine, But as you get older, you realize, like, oh, I can't handle it anymore.
It's just too harsh.
I need something a little bit more smooth, and so that my palate's gotten a little bit more sophisticated over the years.
We love a sophisticated palette.
We love a sophisticated palate.
Hello, Okay, did you ever visit famous people's cemeteries when you lived in La?
This is from Richard, not on purpose, but there the Hollywood Forever Cemetery was a spot where they would host these movie things. We can watch a movie, so I've been there for that, and then it was also next to.
The famous people buried there.
Oh, it's like all famous people.
What okay, I guess is there a benefit to being buried there rather than being like buried wherever your family.
Is or I think it's just like a status saying like, oh, this is where all the famous people are. They're buried there, and there's another cemetery in burbankh they're buried and so there's two cemeteries, one for the almost it's almost like TV and film.
Who are some people that are buried as Actually you answer the question and all I'll google it.
Yeah, look up Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It should be near the Paramount a Lot or is that the one in Burbank? I feel like the Hollywood Forever Cemetery or the Hollywood Cemetery that's over there off of Gower Street and.
It faces the Hollywood Sign.
It's all status thing.
It's all a bunch of like older I don't know any of these things.
It's like forties, fifties, Okay, is in that one Hollywood Forever But.
Like a lot of these things, I don't know.
So Hollywood Forever Cemetery, is that the one over there? And yep, Saint Michael Blvore, Yeah, that's the one by Doctor Phil's lot, the Paramount Lot.
Oh, Judy Garland was buried there, so I went there one time.
It was so creepy. So I was working on set for a TV show on ABC called Notorious. It was the season finale. It was the final episode of the first season, but it was a series finale. The show got canceled, and so that the vibe of that night was like weird because everyone knew they were getting fired and this show was supposed to do something and it didn't. So we we had met the pickup spot for the for the buses that pick up and take you to the location was We had to park at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and call time was like four pm, so it was a nighttime shoot because they were shooting at night. So we had to park our cars there and I'm like, oh, but they closed the gates I think at ten or eleven, So I was like, how are we going to get our cars out of here? Like, and they're like, oh, we'll figured out when we get back them. All right, whatever, park my car there, we get in the we all get in the bus. We head downtown LA. We shoot the scene, and then we're coming back and it's like one in the morning. I'm like, oh my god, I forgot we parked our cars at.
The freaking cemetery. This is so creepy.
And you get there and we're like honking the horn.
The gates locked.
I'm like, oh my god, I'm not gonna able to get home all this crap. And then some guy comes out like this is like out of a movie that's like old hunched over like crypt keeper looking guy comes out and unlocks the.
Door and the slides open the doors and you all get on.
It and you get in there and he gets your car and I'm and I'm telling you, it's like I don't know if it's like if there were lights, but I could just see all these like figures throughout the cemetery. Was so creepy, and I just remember, we're just having that tunnel vision of like, don't look left, don't look.
Right, just walk to your car. Just walk to your car. Just walk to your car.
And not only was the Spirit world like running rampant and where we're at, but it's also a lot of crime. People hop the fence and like Doug stuff and like, oh my god. Also need to get my car because I don't get like mugged and no one's here and everyone's I was like, oh my god, make got my car.
Is the furthest one back? It was just so creepy.
I don't really know the point of the story, but it was just a really creepy thing. And I thoughked in my car the other night and it was hella, hello weird.
So Richard he did and he never went back because he didn't want to see all the creepy figures again.
Oh yes, yeah, that was the question.
Yeah, basically, if you ever visited the cemeteries.
Yes, so, yes, I did.
And then there's one in Burbank that I've never been to, but I just drove by it a lot because it was near the studio. Burbank Cemetery. That's where I feel like most of the newer dead people get get buried at.
The newer one.
The newer one, the Forest Lawn, Forest Lawn, Yeah, forest Lawn and Burbank.
Who is buried at Forest Lawn?
I think like people like Walt.
Disney, Fischer, Paul Walker, Nipsy Hus, Yeah, Freddie Prince.
Okay, a lot more television or maybe or newer I think, is.
Your I mean there's some older one. There's also inventors. Oh, there's well, there's multiple. There's one in Glendale, California. There's one in Buffalo, New York, and there's one in Cathedral City. So Glendale, California, Glendale, Glendell whatever.
Glendell, Yeah, because Glendale's right next to Burbank. It's right in the middle.
Yeah, So there's a few of them that looks like it's a notable cemetery for people because there's like a inventor and a president buried at the one in New York.
Yeah, it was always like a oh, the grave of Bob Barker.
Bob Barker's are too. It was always like a big deal.
Whenever someone would die, you would see tons of cars everywhere. There's also a good cut through two to get through Burbank.
I never knew that.
Thanks Richard, Thanks Richard so much.
Okay, we're gonna speak a break. We'll answer a few more questions. Okay, what got you both into radio? Kyle from British Columbia, Canada.
Dan, Canada, what's up? What up north of the border?
Yeah, we love that. Keep my insurance sweet. I went to college for broadcast journalism and planned to be like a news anchor and then realized I didn't really want to do that. Ended up getting a job out of an internship that I did with iHeart back in my home city of Wichitak, Kansas, and I started working in radio through that and that was just a digital directing job. Then I moved to Nashville for another digital directing job, and then I got the job with the show. So that's been my course of career since college. That's mine, Scuba, keep it we're keeping it tight.
Oh, then this is not a tight question.
Yeah, you can do this. I just did it.
What was the question again?
Sorry? As what got you both into radio?
Saturday? And to check it out my emails and getting had for the week?
What got me?
Also? My favorite bart was like, Scooba, Hey, we're gonna keep it, Like sure, we're in. He's like, well, no, that's on you. But this man's been five minutes laughing, and so it's on me.
It's on me. You got valid, valid, valid, That is very valid and actually correct. How did I get in the radio? Well, it's funny you asked that question. So I always wanted to be in entertainment. I always wanted to do the forward facing camera side of things, or and ord directing, producing film, and so that was not obtainable where I lived. And I was like, well, the entertainment medium here is radio. And then I was like it'd be kind of fun whatever. I didn't really think about it very much. I was in a band. It was that screaming band, and I was like, oh, what will be the way to get our music on the radio. I was like, oh, I will, I will infiltrate and go from the inside and get our music played on the radio.
You're like Hydra when it comes to the Avengers.
Sure you have no idea. It's a great reference, but somebody totally understood it. See, when you're on radio, the people in the room may not understand it, but it's not for the people in the room. It's for the people who are listening, because they're probably a thousand people that go, oh, I don't how draw my god, it's a great joke. But I'm like, I don't. I don't get it. But there's also other side the audience. It's like me and goes don't. I don't get it. So we relate to both sides. Anyways, thank you, so yes, so, So I want to get my music played on the radio. And then and then I was like I don't know really how to do that. And then I heard this commercial for the Connecticut School of Broadcasting and it was on I was like the midday guy crash On j r R. Played the car. He was like he had, you know, I read commercials for them and stuff.
I remember hearing. I was like, man, that'd be kind of cool. I was like, I don't know what that is.
And so I literally signed up for that class. I hate using the word literally, but because it was literally signed up for it, and then within maybe I don't know, like a month of being there, I met a guy who was the morning show producer for the pop station there XL one O six seven, and he was like, hey man, he goes. He was like he just kind of noticed that you have great work ethic early. He was like, even have pretty good chops. We would do like fake breaks and learn stuff for the television and radio side. It was like a trade school basically, and I was like, to be fine, I don't know if this will go anywhere. It turns out of the schools, like I think it's got in a lot of trouble or something. Was my gut of it being what it was was what it was, And a lot of the professors and teachers there were like not really, I mean they were you know, they.
Were what they were.
They were fake.
They were fake, but they were like like it would be like going to a company and be like, hey, you know, I'd love to meet the CEO of McDonald's and then you're like, oh, yeah, I work high up in there and you're just a cash registered person and you show up three days a week and not even there all the time. It's like one of those people where it's like they would have people who weren't really like there, but they were there, or they were there at thirty years ago.
It just was like it wasn't what you thought it was going to be.
It wasn't.
It wasn't like Bobby Bones.
Was one of the teachers, like, oh crap, Bobby's still like wow, that's you know, I know who he is and he's in the industry.
Whoa, Oh my gosh.
I'm gonna impress him and hopefully, you know, whatever will come from this, or I can learn from.
Someone who's been Oh wow, Okay.
It wasn't that got It wasn't that at all, Like, not even close to it. But there was one professor and after knowing him, I was like, oh, this guy just he's a hustler and has lots of different jobs and if someone's gonna pay money, he's going to be there. He's just that kind of person. And so I met him. His name's Alex. He was the producer of the morning show and he was there and he was like, hey, man, why don't you just come by one day? And I don't know what the game was, He's just come by one day and you can meet the show and hang outs all right, cool whatever. And then I was like, oh, sure, no problem. So I know, I didn't go to work the next day, and I showed up that morning and I got there super early before all of them got there. And then he met me out from brought me in and I just hung out. I just hung out for the day and just watched. At the end of the day, Johnny came up to me. He'said, hey, Man, will be my intern, And I was like, yeah, man, surely, yeah cool, totally yea yeah, of court, Yeah, yeah, I'll be when you need me. So I be here tomorrow at whatever. I think it was like four. I got there like three fifteen, and I got there before.
He got there.
So it was like this basically, that school, in that moment brought me to meeting these people, which then turned into this career. And the school got so mad because then I just stopped showing up because I'm I don't really need you anymore and I'm now an intern over here. But I guess you still need a paper work to be a legal intern toor whatever, and so that's why I went there.
It so I was like, oh, he's good, you get paperwork.
So I had them fill out a letterhead saying I could do this internship and at the time like this is amazing, We're gonna get credit for this that like that we did this and we connected and made this a thing. But then after like but I went to like one more class and I was like, I'm not to my point earlier. I'm like, why would I keep learning from these people? But this is everything they're teaching me is antiquated. The equipment is old, like it isn't what it actually is. Because I'm now seeing what's happening, I'm like, this is these are two different worlds. This was twenty years behind of what's actually going on it often is, and so I'm like, all right, well.
This is a waste of my time. I was like twenty and I'm like this is dumb.
I'm like, so I just stopped showing up the class and then I just kept doing the internship and the internship turned into a job and it just kept snowballing into where I'm at now.
Yeah, that's cool. I don't think I had heard that story before. That was a good one. Okay, thanks Kyle.
Wasn't short but I sort of shortened up. There's a lot more detail that I left out.
I'm proud of you, but I.
Doubted as fast as I could. Just for you.
Thank you. Go in here with Tanya in California. Wanted to find a rad No, no, it's no differently.
It's not Ta and I a Maybe she's just trying to fool us.
If you could be behind a microphone, would you stay stay aware here with the show, because I think some people think you might be leaving.
Like you're like.
You can. Would I stay? Yeah? I would for a little bit. Yeah, yeah, always.
Too, just so people are aware.
I never want to take I never want to go.
From one to the next without making sure whatever I'm leaving is fully set up or have something in place to keep it at a similar level. Not saying anyone could ever do what I do, because it's it's just there are very few people. But I want to find someone who could at least somewhat come in and try to keep the train moving so it doesn't completely fall apart. Not saying it would, but there are some things that it's like when Da White Street wasn't there in the office, Like where's my're like White did that.
I did this? Why did that?
You're like, oh, shoot, okay, right, maybe he was someone that was of value.
I always think you're somebody of valuable.
Well, I don't mean like that. I mean you know what I.
Mean, like I appreciate you all the time.
Not saying that anyone has said or would feel that way. I'm just saying like.
I'm offended right now.
No, no, no, you know what I mean. I'm just trying to like put I'm trying to find analogy or something.
I know I got you. I'm just giving no more questions. You laughed at me for five minutes.
So you do know what I mean.
Like like things whenever something even when someone on the show is not there for a day, like oh that was, Oh we're missing gotcha this because so and so did certain you know, just in life, you know, yeah, yeah.
You're important to us Scuba and we don't want you to leave, but I personally would like you to tase your dreams however they may look. And even if you leave us, but you will be missed.
Well, thank you. I appreciate that. I do want to have a proper transition, which will mean like this is one of the things where it's like, all right, quit the job and start the next job the next day. This this would take a little bit time of me still doing a dual role. I would think, or maybe I don't know. I have no idea, but I think I think that would make the most sense, but I don't know if I should. That's where we should be.
Okay, well we will stop it. There no more questions. The press conference is over and I had more, but you know again, they spent five minutes laughing at me. So they took five minutes of your questions.
You go through all the questions, I'll pick one.
Nope, nope, come on, you're done.
We are someone right now is like upsetting a question.
Well, it's your God's fault.
No, it's not your fault.
Actually no, it's just actually read.
Them you want. Morgan won't read them.
I'm sorry if your questions they are have apologized.
I tried back to your guys.
I really try, guys listening.
And keep you greg under an hour and we just hit the hour mark.
What if there's like one, I'm like, we should answer, like what if that person is not going to be living next time?
What if they're going to die?
And the next week, I have to choose any ones. Already I can't answer all of them.
You know how many questions come in, I don't know, Like, but there's like a top three where you probably had something you were set to like get into, but now we can get in.
So I just went for the last one that I had that I actually truly had was about more of the career stuff. And we're stopping there.
So okay, cool, all right, all.
Right, really listen to my new podcasting this personally. I have a childhood trauma specialist. She's a therapist, and we talk a lot about childhood trauma. And then I did a little personal journal intrigue. Maybe you can relate to some of that. Scuba you can go follow him at Scuba Steve Radio and a bun a journal. I do like audio journals. Oh that's on like the back end, Like I'll bring on the expert for them to be like the expert, and then I'll just talk about my experience, like as if I were journaling, but it's an audio.
Oh I see I.
Heard journal sorry checking emails on a Saturday journals Like, oh, you're like doing a journal and you're putting it like a like a tumblr, like a blog.
