The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part one, behind a scene with a member of the show.

Good morning and Happy twenty twenty five.

It's already next year, but it's still last year. I know it's spoiler alert. This is twenty twenty four, but we're talking about twenty twenty five.

I know.

But technically right now it is January. Gosh, hold on, these are so loud.

What if somebody's listened to this in January first of like twenty thirty seven.

They might be right now it is January fourth, twenty twenty five.

January fourth, twenty Wow, that's amazing.

Yeah, but technically we're recording this very early in December before we leave.

So I say to ask my Christmas plans. I have no idea because I haven't. It hasn't happened yet. So that's not happening.

No, No, we're not talking about that. We're actually going to focus on this past year and the new year.

Okay, Oh, this, so which one is this? What's going to happen round now? I don't hear the beginning production? Is this the Questions one? Is this the regular one?

The regular one?

Gotcha? Okay? See, I was waiting for questions to come. I was looking for some like positive feedback like Sarah MLP it says that, well, I was Scooby Season with my absolute favorites. I never heard that yet. I'm kind of like fumbling and.

Well, you're going to wait for okay, all right, cool, like everybody else, all right, coolca cool. But I am bringing some questions over because we I had asked everybody like New Year's related things, what they wanted us to talk about. We've got corn who was like, what is the craziest New Year's Eve you've ever had?

Oh man, that'd have been back in Winter Springs, Florida at my friend Drew's house. I think it with a year was two thousand and three or two thousand and four. It was one of those wild, wild New Year's e parties where it was like something you would almost see like in a a Seth Rogan type movie, where it was like that kind of a party. And I don't remember all the details. I just remember, well I could we could probably be for an hour, and I can tell you the whole story because it's a very very long. It's like it's it's a show within itself that whole day. But the bullet points would be uh. That was the first day that I that we started it basically with me being as the lead singer and screamer in that band. So that was like a pillow moment. It was also a moment where my best friend, Justin, his dad showed up and was all upset and he was like, where's Justin? Where's Justin? And so that hole was that was the whole thing. Then he got his car stuck. No, he just he talks like this, she's from New York. He's like, hey, hey, leave a message or I don't call you back if I want, I don't know, we'll see.

Okay, Well that that turns New York. The first one was British.

Al right, that's my little col knee now. So so that evolves him and then his car getting stuck and then slinging mud everywhere and him not even going to leave and then his car breaking down. Is a lot of that and a lot of drinking, a lot of hooking up. My friend. We had names for some people and I won't say what one of those things were. Like there were that are really really mean and probably not twenty twenty five friendly. Oh yeah, they weren't even twenty twenty four friendly, so.

It doesn't sound like they were even in two thousand and three friends.

Now they were cool back, especially outside of Orlando, Florida. Not no, it wasn't anything like like that. It was just like very like work. Not safe work for sure, no way. But we had names for them and they were not mean. They were just very descriptive, so we knew who we were hanging out with.

Did you call these names to their face or was this well nickname is behind the back.

Well, I think it started behind the back, and I think it's sort of faded into the into the forefront. At that point, everyone was so drunk that no one really even cared, and so everyone had their at their thing that they were doing.

Did you have a nickname?

I didn't have a nickname. Know, we nicknamed these other people that we were hanging out with.

Yeah, I just didn't know if your friends also gave you one and you gave your friends.

No, no, No, we were still I with Stephen, he was Brent, he was just in. I think that was the only three that had any magical moments that near z Eve, And that was the first time ever drank like drank drink and I was like, this is we drank this nasty ass like vodka smearing off Like that was my realization of like, never vodka. I'm not a vodka person. I knew from then that moment gross and then like warm beer and.

You know, everybody has that one alcohol that they started drinking and they can never drink again. Yes, And that was like in the beginning where you like have trauma associated with whatever that alcohol is.

Oh yeah, you see the girl that you think you're gonna be hooking up with, and then your friends in the back of his other friends bronco while he's in the front seat of his bronco and they're both hooking up and the car's going where Where were where? And then you're drinking all this uh, this nasty, gross pop off vodka and you're like and you start throwing up, and then you start like spiraling, and then you find another person you didn't want to be around, and then you're around that person and you're like, oh my god, what is happening right now?

Okay, how late were you out this night? Were you're out all night?

We didn't sleep, We stayed up all the way into the morning. We're playing Uno from like maybe that was like our like our reset. We sat on the by the pool and this is like by the way. My friend had a lot of money, so it was a nice house too, so it's like had all the amenities at everything. It was like free reign, do whatever you want. Everything's everywhere. It's also a little bit in the wood too, so there's just a lot of space. And it was it's like it was, it was. It was magical. So at that point we started playing Uno and so bring up a little bit, just smoking weed and eating a lot of food, and then also you're broke, so it just kind of what do you want to do. It's like I guess we'll just play un know for four more hours until everyone wakes up. And they went to Denny's and then just stayed a ball that rest of the day and then started a crash around like in the afternoon.

Yeah, and how old were you like around this, I was.

Eighteen or nineteen.

Oh.

Then we saw those three girls later a blockbuster because they were like all I think I forgot what day what? But it was like somewhere near a weekend whenever, like hey, we's go run a movie. Or something. I was. We're in a movie, so we're freaking that's how old this is. We were in Blockbuster. We look up and there's the three girls and there's us three, and we're like, oh, you three are together. And you're like you three are together. I'm like, yeah, we've been friends since like middle school. Of course we're together and the same kind of thing. And it was at a really awkward moment and I was like hey, and everyone's like hey, and everyone has like the little one I'm We're like, hey, what's going on? And then one of them feels like she's she's like I may be pregnant, like one of those scenarios. And my friend's like, what didn't use a you know, a Jimmy. So he's now worried. He thinks he gets he's got this girl pregnant. But it's like one day later, there's no way that she knows that she's pregnant. Maybe I don't know, Maybe it's a feeling you get, don't I don't know.

Yeah, I mean typically that at least takes a few days to have like true certainty over that.

I think, So I think maybe she was just freaking out and like oh, my god, I're just nervous and thinking, oh my god, I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant, and then believing herself into her being pregnant and she really wasn't because she wasn't. And then they fast forward they didn't have a kid together, and I actually never saw each other again after that blockbuster moment because.

Any of you guys ever friend groups, but like did never again.

That was like, that was the last time. I was like, all right, see you later, and I was like, I don't think we're going to see him later ever again. And then we never did and that was it.

So yeah, dang. Also, you know, I want to recognize it you have some great memory recall of these things, because like my situations where I remember my things, they're so fuzzy. I don't remember the details, like I know where I was, who I was with, what was happening, but I don't have like the details.

Memories give it, you know, like core memory is like something that you can remember like almost like an episode like top to bottom a TV show.

You know, honestly, I think I used to until I got COVID. Oh really, and it really messed with my memory.

Oh damn, Okay, I didn't realize there's that is more than just sensory and all the other stuff.

No, because I used to have a really good recall and I would remember things really well, and now like post COVID, I have fuzzy, just memories of different things, and I'll recall something and it'll be like half what I think happened. It's weird if.

You're talking about with friends that did they help jog your memory? Like, oh, no, Morgan memory did this. And then it's like, oh, because as I was telling you that New Yar's Eve story, that legit legitimate is a if I would go through all the details that are in my head, that's a solid one hour, if not more story, because I can. I can tell you every single moment from the moment we got it that morning thinking about how we're going to plan this party, to the show, to getting people there, and then all the way to the next day at that Blockbuster meeting. I remember it. It's like a flash that's almost like and I'm back in that house. Yeah, and I'm like here, I am, Oh my god, I'm seeing it. Dude, don't do that. No, just walk away, bro, don't go there. Hey, don't drink that. Hey, don't make out with her, it's gonna lead to potential pregnancy. You know. I can just think I can just see everything.

Yeah, so it's weird, very wild. I mean, I think that's cool that you can do that though.

Yeah, And I have a lot of those kind of memories that where I just I start talking about it and I'm like, oh my god. I'm like it's like it's like I'm there like one of those oculus classes or whatever, like or the eye of the Apple whatever they call those.

No Oculus you got it, I think is the name.

Yeah, but what are they called the Apple ones? Thought they call it like something different, like vision pro or something.

Probably. Yeah, in fact, it like I again, I just can't recall things Apple, VR glasses.

Yeah, I think it's Apple because there was like a it was hot for a while and then I think it definitely cooled off vision pro so does vision pro so. I was right. Damn, I got a really good man.

Oh there's also a medaquest that's the Facebook one.

Yeah, and Oculus was another one, but I think it formed with whatever. Who cares? Anyways, Yes, great memory, Thank you so much. I appreciate at that. But then there's a lot of things like day to day where someone's like you remember yesterday or a couple days ago, and I'm like, a core memory, sorry means nothing.

That email, Yeah, not that core memory at all.

Actually that email was a core memory and I hated it. Different version of different. Yeah, exactly, you really are.

You're like the inside and out where they're pulling the core memories out and like here pop this one on the screen.

That's totally it. That's why when I watched that movie, I'm like, oh my god, this is me like that bad memories, good memories, core memories, like things that shape you. Like it really is, like it's crazy. That whole thought process of creating inside out is really what is it's like for me. I'm sure a lot of people too. I'm not the only like, can't be the one person like this, No, I.

Bet there's a lot of people and you're not wrong. And there are some moments where core memories will come back. I'm like, oh, yeah, that one's super vivid, but it's just yeah, covid. I mean, I should probably go see the brain doctor that Amy and A start making out the neuronce fire correct, Yeah, or not well, more so to get my men.

I'm just kidding.

That so fun to have a guess.

I almost feel like you just need to go like on a mem retour and go back home and just go to some of the places and bring the people that you were there last time and just have them bring the memories back to you.

Well maybe that's also why I don't have my smell. It's all connected. My brain can't remember how to smell exactly.

You need to go back to your roots and go smell some dirt exactly, Morgan going back to roots Season one.

Action, Oh Kansas Fan. Yeah, we had a The New Year's that I went that I can recall was a really fun when we ran into a party bus and I was with like two of my really good friends that I grew up with, but then everybody else I really didn't know. It was this one of the girls was dating this guy and it was a bunch of his friends, and so we were on this party bus and there's like forty people on this part of a party busy.

Well, year was just like, well, I guess how old were you college? Out of college?

I was? It was I was home from college. I want to say it was like my freshman or sophomore year. Okay, and so I was old enough to drink, gotcha. We were going to the bars or I had my sister's ID. Yeah, either way, I was around.

You're doing it, yeah, yeah.

But yeah, we always had party buses. That was like the thing back in with Tatah. Yeah, not so much now, but that used to be the thing.

Oh, they were things too, because even when I was in San Francisco, everyone so let's get a party bus and then we'll go to the club. So she had a big group of people. Yeah, then it was it was kind of fun to have like ten to thirty people on a bus.

It is so fun. I wish we did those more because it was just a fun way to get places and you, yeah, like nobody's drinking and driving. It's very safe, like it is.

Yeah, until the party bus drops you off to your car and then you drive home like the ones you see here in Nashville. It's like, all right, let's go drive around drinking for the next three hours in the hot sun, and then we're gonna drop you off at your car that you came in over by Nissan Stadium, and then you're gonna drive home. Hella drunk.

Oh yeah, that's good.

So whenever those are going on, like on the weekend whatever, and I see where they drop them off, I'm like, we are going nowhere near that area on the weekend, and we're gonna try to avoid even the roads at some point because those people are they're getting in the car driving. They're not uber and home by the way. I've see them. I see them getting their car and they're stumbling. All right, Jessica, let's get in the car and drive home. After we had all those wat claws and no water in the hot sun, driving around with no roof over our head where sun beat red. We're tired and we're drunk, and we're gonna go drive home to Hendersonville. You're like, what in the but the but the good ones and the ones we're like a picture up at at like your house where everyone meets the house and then drops shop there, and it's like, yeah, I feel gets safer.

Drinking your driving is very very bad.

Yes, sorry, going on a tangent.

That's a song.

Yes, drinking and driving it's very very bad.

No, what did he say? Yo? I gotta fake? What is that song?

You know?

I gotta fake ID though. How does it go?

Is it a rap song? Is it a pop song?

It's a rap song and it's like an old school I want to say, it's like CHINGI or fifty cent. It's like, Yo, I got a fake IDI though? What is that song?

Yo? I got a fake I d oh look before he even finished it. It finishes it for me and it goes h lyrics? Oh is it ja Kwan tipsy?

Yeah?

Maybe that's maybe.

That's why drinking and dry arts good.

It says teen drinking is very bad. Yeah, I got a fake ID though. Yeah, ha ha ha ha yeah remember what something no? Which makes sense because your boobyzy is very very popular and all that stuff.

Yeah okay, well you know drinking driving is also very bad.

Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, Sorry I need to go on a huge tangent rupt you. But I was just was so baffled by that. When I moved here, I was like, what in the hell is happening right now?

Yeah?

This is this the nineties? Like where are we are? They mad about their seatbelts too, and you can't smoke a cigarette in the car with the kids or the windows rolled up.

I don't think anybody actually thinks through that process. Yeah, they go think, okay, we got to go to this, we got to be here at this time. You go and then you're like, oh, well.

I'll be like, we're going to Uber. We know we're drinking. We just got uber to the spot.

Well, some people playing for some dude, yes, others you know don't and they need to do better. Yeah, they do very bad. It's never ever worth it.

No, no, no, I'm not judgmental, but I am in that.

Yeah.

Okay, all right, sorry's heart a railroad. Ya go ahead.

So we got a party of.

Bus which a yeah.

We ended up like going out on a night which shot which we went to a few different places, like we went to a place called Pump House, which is an old gas station turned into a bar.

That's pretty cool.

We like, we're bopping around to all these two bars. But what I remember the most is that I still to this day, Scuba, I'm pretty sure somebody planted this Beach Vibes bar. We walked in there. I've never seen it. I've lived in Waish on my entire life. I've never seen heard anybody ever talk about this bar. We go in there. It's like straight out of you know, you're on a beach somewhere literally chest Yes, like there's the teaky Hut vibes everywhere, there's all these drinks or whatever. And we're there for like three hours. We get lost in this place. Right we're there and I'm sipping on drinks to have a little umbrellas.

Okay, does that have a sand area like where it's like people saying, oh, yes, I've been one of those are so cool And it was so much fun.

We were there when the ball dropped, so like everybody's celebrated.

That's where you ran for Okay. Cool, So you had a fun spot. The vibe was awesome.

Yeah, okay, but and I had like a fun random New Year's kiss that night, like it was a vibe. Okay, And we leave there Scuba. I've never been able to find here of this bar ever. Again.

It was almost like one of those things where like it was like a glitch in the matrix and you found this place that doesn't exist, or it will exist at some point, or it's in an alternate universe and you got to go there for the night and kisses boy that doesn't exist.

Except I know he exists because we added each other on Facebook. He exists, but the bar for sure does it?

Or you just got so sloshed before you got to that bar and you envisioned what you envisioned.

But in real life, like it's almost like one of those things where like it takes off the lens and you're walking around. It's like this like bar where it's like this lady is missing her teeth and she's like playing pool and you have to see it's like this cool chicken like a bikini hanging out this young guy and there's this old man with no hair smoking a cigarette. It's flabby skin. But then you have your beer gog goes on looks at this hot guy because I can't a Barbie doll and they're hanging out over the beach. Life is good, but in reality it's like whatever's going on? You start making out this guy and this guy's like all right, but you think it's just.

Hot God the party bus, so all bets are off all that.

I think there's like a there's like a movie or something a TV show where they envisioned one thing, but in the reality of.

It is it's like the isn't that shallow?

How yes? Almost like shallow.

How Yeah, but even the whole reality of even like everything that's happening is.

Even a different space in a different place than people too. Yes yeah, yeah, yes.

But that one he envisions like totally different.

But if it doesn't exist, that's my only theory of why it doesn't exist, Because you thought it was that and it actually.

Isn't that it's possible. I mean I remember, like, I spent years after that night trying to just google because I was like, I wanted to go back. I loved the Yeah, and I'm telling no, I'm telling you, I went down deep circles of the Internet trying to find this place and I never could. And nobody, even then. The best part is, nobody even that was with us that night, could even recall what the name was.

Which one here says, well, well hidden tiki bar, and which is all that's what it says.

We do have an actual tiki bar, which though there is one that I found, but it's not the one that we went to.

Okay, this one says History eight. He was like, I guess the name of their thing? They say right here, says the Kansas guest on maybe no sorry, Lava and Tonic is.

That what is really cool? But yeah, no, it's not that. Trust me, okay, deep like you know me, I'm going with technology. I would to deep parts of the Internet and I can't find anything.

I do love that every town has there because even I can think about going back to Orlando back in the early two thousands of there's like those quintessential bars that everyone went to and flocked to in Orlando. Like we had Ember, we had Chiller. There is one where it was three floors and so the bottom floor was a place called Chillers, and on Wednesday night you could get sloshed. They had like thirty five of those slushy machines and it was like rumshotta and vaka this and all these crappy, awful drinks. Yeah, but they were a dollar on Wednesdays, so you can go there and spend like five six bucks and get hammered and add another shot for a dollar or whatever. The next level was Big Belly and they did nickel beers, so beers for a nickel and then the top level beer.

Yeah, that's not a hangover waiting to help.

It was awesome. So you'd start with the with the crappy slot with slushy drinks. Then you drink beer, and then you get to the third level where it was called Latitudes and it was three for ones.

Wait hold on, yeah, I'm putting in a quick break and we're coming back. Okay, yeah, okay, three for ones go.

Three for ones at Latitudes was awesome. So that would remind me of Tiki Bar. It's on the rooftop of a three store building in downtown Orlando. I hope it's still there because we used to go there every time we go back home, like, oh, we gotta go to Chillers, Big Billion Latitudes. Chillers was still there for a moment. Kind of I think change names.

Who comes up with all these names?

Right, they're kind of like what.

Everywhere has weird name anything?

You had the pump, But that one kind of made sense because it was because of the gas station and everything.

It's still they're all weird names. I don't know where all anyways.

Yeah, and so it was crazy we have that in the chiller At top level was a Latitude and I had like a tiki hut and had like the fire and the flame. It was kind of dangerous and three for ones and that's where you ended the night. But if you were smart as you got older, you would start the night and only go to Latitude. So when I would go back to visit, we would skip. We would walk through chillers and go, oh, that's awesome. It always people here. They have no idea and big bell. You just you don't even go and you just walk up the stairs and keep going and you get to the third level, You're like, we're just gonna be a Latitudes all night long. That was a spot to go. And then Taboo was a fun one and that was owned by John Morgan, you know Morgan and Morgan, Morgan and Morgan for the People Offices Orlando. He used to I think they sold it off because that was like the massive, like awesome hip hop club. Used to be an old like movie theater, like a theater for plays and stuff, and they converted it like it was sick. It was the spot to go to. Him and a guy named Johnny who was a morning show guy in Orlando. He had was partnership and a couple of people. I think they sold it. It was like there were big investor people.

Realized that John Morgan was like a national thing.

Yes, I always knew him as Orlando because that's where he was, that's where he's from, that's where he started his practice was Orlando. And so when I moved away from Orlando, like in two thousand and nine, I just was like, John Morgan gone, never was a blip of my memory. I mean knew him, knew all these kind of things about him, but I didn'tink much about him. I'm just a lawyer there. And then moved to Nashville and I saw John Morgan Bill Morden twenty nineteen. I'm like John Morgan, like the guy from Orlando. And I was like, oh, well it's been like fifteen years. Dude probably went national. He blew up. Yeah, and he did move. He was interlandabody all over the place. Down Night's a Maui and he's in LA and he's all rolle iswnand everywhere.

He's got that money. Money.

Kay, he's got real money. I was like, man, he's big time now. So like this is sick. So yeah, So they like the downtown club seem was amazing, and you had their land of Magic. So people would go to games, natural games. You didn't roll over into a.

Spot, okay, but did any of these bars and you think exist, but then they really didn't.

No, no, because I was I was pretty conscious and I went to these bars pretty frequently. So yeah, no, no, I don't have your problem. We would get pretty drunk, but we knew what were around because we picked it.

Listen, it's like you're ghosting right where you have all these experience with like ghosts and other things on the spurt planes. This is like mine where something happened to me and I can't explain it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that you were right, and I was on another dimension for like three hours of a new year.

Oh, you entered somewhere you your bus went for something over. Your bus was like the magic school bus.

Yes, I love magic school.

Yes, senior were in a Yellowjacket's where reminded me of the Madge school bus. So I figured out immediately school bus. So I was like, yo, you went on the magic school bus.

I did.

Miss Fritz took you into a different time zone. You got the out of planet Earth. You went somewhere else. I didn't even know where you were, and then you got back in the magic school bus to leave there.

Yeah, I mean we left on the party bus and I went back around again. Couldn't find it ever again exactly.

So you didn't get in a number and no one picked you up. You got back in the.

School bus Tomorrowland, you know where they pressed the button. Yes, which that's the only friend of mine because I just watched that movie.

It's a great, big, beautiful Tomorrow.

But they live on the button and it's like this whole world that's take it off and it's all gone.

Did you ever go on carousel Progress Progress in Orlando? Do we talk about that?

Yeah?

You went on it. So when you sit down, you see the whole thing, like the nineteen twenties where I think it's the eighteen hundreds maybe this which is wheird, like the dog lived over one hundred and fifty years. This is crazy, Yeah, because it goes to the whole thing.

Whish they did, you know? So I'm just gonna believe that one's true.

Okay, Yeah, I love that song about it. IULD see the whole thing too, but I don't care hopeful. Yeah, And when I heard it in the movie Tomorrow Land, I'm like, oh my god, they featured the song in the movie. This is amazing.

I love it so funny, I guess I didn't put two and two together that that was that song. Yeah, because on the tomorrow Land ride in Disney, they don't play it's about the Webway.

That's about the thing in the sky, the blue one.

Yeah, I can't remember which one. I feel like they have that ride, don't they're taking that up.

Yeah, about the Carosel Progress.

Or the Webway, like the one that was inspired by tomorrow Land.

Yeah, the Carousel Progress. Yeah, that's the one where it's like a big it's Walt Disney. It wasn't the World's Fair. It's that big circular building that moves. You sit like in an auditorium in US, like a stadium seating, and you got like the stage and it's like it's like, well it's the turn of the century and Uncle Arraville. It's like a scene where he's like the curtain opens up and he's like on like an exercise or he's exercising.

We didn't go in there.

Ah, you messed up, dude. That's like the only ride, the only thing I know. It's like the spot where people go to sit down because the legs are tired or they needn't break and they need to be in the ac.

Because it is cold, and go in there for the a C at one point, but I don't think we went into that.

You didn't go to ride the ride.

Then we did do the carousel Progress because I remember that.

That's the one that's when we sit down in the stadium seating and you and it's like and it's this guy who's at the same constant guy one that you're on it.

It's it's a carousel progress, like you're literally on this track and you go all the way around.

You kind of see a lot of the park that's blue line, so that that's the webway where you go up the escalators, like it's like a flat escalator with no stairs, and it brings you up to like the second level and you sit down in this like six car thing it's blue, and you go around. It's like it's like now approaching Space Mountain. And you go inside Space Mountain you can see it, and then it's like now approaching the carousela progress and it's like it does play a little bit of the song. It's like it's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow.

Okay, that's what we were on. Okay, right, I didn't go in the stadium.

That's my second favorite ride of Disney World. So you're good. You're good. You just missed my first favorite. Sorry, yeah, it's okay. So but it's okay though, because you have you need to go back. I do, and you will. I'm sure you will. So yeah. Yeah, so it's just something out of the list. If you don't go to the carousel progress next time you freaking go on movie hell a pissed.

Okay, but also as long as it's not what's the what's the creepy one? It's a small world.

Oh yeah, you don't have on that ever? Again? Do you go onto once? Yeah, you're good. You could have watched a YouTube video.

Been fine, you're right. And I regretted everything when I was on that ride.

Yeah, because you can sit at the restaurant next to it and watch all the kids go in there and the parents with this massive amount of disappointment, like I hated it, then I'm gonna hate it now here we go ever?

Blow my mind that there was multiple people when I went there that were like, you have to go on. It's a small world. It's the best friend ever, and.

I wise people hate you.

I won't be like a hot why yeah, we'll give Me Nightmares for My life.

And the song on repeat over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

It's literally that right, Okay, that was not That was our Disney tangent for the day.

Oh, we can keep going. We's go I know we could go on. Well, I'm going to Slash. I went to Orlando, Yeah, and it was awesome.

I heard, are you guys potentially planning? Did you plan to go to Disney?

So we were looking at everything from Disney to Universal because my oldest loves Harry Pottery and Jurassic Park and Jurassic World. Yeah, looking at those two, looking at Lego Land and SeaWorld because of the capacity, and I know Disney one hundred percent, That whole week of Christmas is at like one hundred and more percent capacity. I don't have patience for crowds and long lines. Universals.

Holidays were supposed to be the time.

Is it?

It's after the holidays? Got it? It's right after the holidays. So if you were to go the second week of January when everyone goes back to school and goes back to you know across the world from vacation. That's when it's like zero minute away five minute ways. So like the second week of January is pretty good, going into the first holiday weekends pretty decent, and then February it's kind of like also man, but once you get the spring break, then it starts to lift again in March. So that's why I would love to one day just be like, screwed, I'm going I'm taking my vacation sec week of January. I'm going to Orlando because I want to be able to just do Disney when like the way I did Disney as a kid with no lines, so we were looking at all that, I'm like, I don't know, it's not gonna be fun. So we didn't do Disney. I already know we're not doing it. We're not doing Disney and not doing Universal Flashbward next year.

We did it anyways, Hey, you never know what's going to happen.

Yeah, then we're Lego Land and SeaWorld because I i'n't done Sea World a long time. I had a like six roller coasters since I left, and they were looking at Lego Land because my kids love Legos. But those were at seventy percent capacity, and those are usually like at ten percent. No one ever goes there, So I'm like, if those are a seventy, that means that's not gonna be good either. So I was just like, no theme parks, We'll just do like Disney Springs, which is like the old school downtown Disney do like a bunch of restaurants. So I love getting reservations.

You have.

My reservations right now are stacked. I've been making Disney reservations for every day that were there, for food, the places I haven't been to, or I want to revisit with family members.

I hope all of them taste as good as you remember. That's always disappointing when they don't and you're like, dang, I guess I didn't that. I just had a moment there where I really liked.

It, and no longer exactly I enjoyed it in that moment in that time.

But yeah, yeah, so I hope they all taste good. Thank you, And I hope if you do go you have patients for days?

Yeah, I have.

Oh yeah, okay, do you have a actually, you know what, let's seek one more break. We'll bear back. Do you have any resolutions for the new year? Do you ever do resolution? No?

Really, don't mean not try. I'll say something and I just like the second day and I'm like, fuck, that's what. Yeah, she's like cursing, like trying to curse as much, but just it's just my nature, especially around the kids, and that's where I'm really good at not cursing as much or even it's more almost just like absolute frustration, like are you kidding me? Like really, and I'd like, oh man, I'm so sorry. I'm like, yeah, we just talked about this, dude, and he realizes like, oh yeah, I really did mess up. He won't say it. One time he did say and I was like, dude, you can't say that's an adult word. Like he knows what certain things are, and he'll go like he'll go like, so what can I say that? I'm like, when you're eighteen? He's like, all right, cool, I want to mainteen. Like and then sometimes we'll be somewhere and I don't realize it. I'll go, oh f and I'll go I can say that when I'm mainteen and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can.

Remember that eighteen and just started dropping bombs everywhere. It was like just condensed inside of it.

But it's not even nuts everything. It's like, He's like, when can I I started doing this? I'm like, that's when you can do it when you're eleven. It's like eleven, got it because I can do this when I'm eleven. So all these things. I put all these ages on stuff, so I have to he remembers him. I don't. So as soon as he gets to those ages and have to be like, all right, do I have to assess this? Can you really do this? Or was I just trying to scoot him away to leave me alone? So like years down the road to not have to worry about it.

You might need to stop putting ages on things. You might just be like when you're older.

We still damn specific. I'll say that and I'm like, well what age though, and then I'm like, eleven, twelve?

He is your son?

Yeah?

It tracks. And they often say that your kids are your own karma.

Yeah I know.

I know. Ah, okay, well fair, I don't. I don't have any plans to do any resolutions them a lot like you. I don't. I might do like one and throw it, but I I don't know I just don't have it. I'm like, I'm always trying to do better and do better things, like, but if I put I feel like if I put some random resolution or goal on something, it never ends up panning out in that way. If I just let it be something that's kind of on a list somewhere, I feel like it pans out more.

Yeah. I feel like if you don't like trying to force yeah, because then it's like then you're really then you're like really trying to make it happen. And then it's like then if it happens, and it's like.

Well yeah, and then I get sad if I don't do it too. I don't need to be sad over not of doing like a silly thing that I came up with on a whim, yeah exact. Yeah.

Yeah.

Some people are really good and they're really intentional about it, and m I'll be like, oh yeah, I'll do that.

Yeah, yeah that's how I And when you get to like, oh I was pretty cool, did it? Yeah, it's just like I've been thinking about it all a year and I haven't done it yet. Oh my god, it's December nineteenth.

Ah. You know. It is funny though, I do have a video planned in my head because I will have spent at this point long as alf of my flights and everything go according to plan, Barcelona, I'll be in New Year's Eve. What Barcelona for.

New Years And that's awesome. Yo, wow, so.

Excited about Yeah, all my travel goes.

As the other place where they have that have that big statue on top of the hill.

Yes, I believe.

So.

Oh if that's it, you please go there. If you don't go there, I'll be super disappointed. It's like not going to carro aseel Progress, okay, or is that South Paw or so and Paul or something.

I don't know. You may have to confirm that it's there. I got I still got to put to you at this point my Barcelona Spain.

Sorry, I was thinking South America. You're going to Spain? Yeah, oh my god? Even better? For for some reason, I think in South America Spain. My friend's Cuban, which of the direct descendants of Spain Spaniards, that he constantly likes to remind me of that when here's other people Spanish or something like, someone would say something and I'm like and I'm like, yo, what do you say? He goes, I don't know, that's like some trash Puerto Rican Spanish. I'm like, oh, okay, and I'm like, what do I guys say? Is like, I don't know. It's like I don't know what that is, dude. It's like somewhere from somewhere in Mexico. And I'm like, well, you know what he said, Like, tell me what he said. He's like, we're from Spain, okay, And I'm like, oh, okay, gotcha, Like where direct descendants?

Is he the bougie kind like that?

I'm the I'm the upper echelon of Spanish speaking people like Cuban and people because they're from Spain. I mean, I guess when you're it's I don't know. Not everyone may be that way, but that's exactly how he is. For sure. When it comes to that, you know, it won't even come up like he's not even like he's not that way all the time. But when someone speaking something and you have to ask me, you're like, I don't know, dude, gross, I'm like, okay, like I think you know what he said. Can you just give me an idea? I don't know, bro, I don't know what he said. It was like something stupid and I'm like, oh, okay, but what did he say?

I did not realize this is a thing.

I didn't realize the thing either until I was like, I think one I think. I started asking him and I was like moving Fransance are like nine or ten. It was around fourteen or fifteen. I was like, Yo, what do you say? I don't know? Bro Okay, Like I don't know either. I have no idea. Can I think? I got yo? Which means I like, what is he talking about himself about? Like what did he say? I don't know, dude, It's like gross? Okay, right anyway, so so funny, guess what Spain's beautiful? And I'll off that's trying to get I'll hit him up and by yo, tell me a couple of things because he has like family, like family they like castle there and stuff that they know a lot about Spain and Barcelonia.

Because I'm going in totally, oh dang cool, I have no idea.

Okay, cool.

But the reason I brought that up this is how my brain works. Like people always be like how do you come up with video content? And ideas? Like I'll be something will be in my head and this is my thing. Last year, I was eating grapes under a table because I was hoping to find the love of my life. Four I thought I met it right, got broken up with so I decided to go to Barcelona for New Year's Eve and the compilation.

That's awesome.

That's the video I do.

That's badass.

Yeah, that'll be bad that's so cool my New Year's video.

Yeah, that's sick. So when do you I guess when you potentially flying out?

So I'll fly out the day after Christmas?

Okay, cool, see you Christmas with family and then fly out. Hell yeah.

Yeah. What we're doing and I've talked about so many times, people are gonna be annoyed to me. We're doing Brussels, Paris and Barcelona.

Paris too, and Brussels Holy Crab. Yeah, we say weird. Who is weird?

Me and one of my girlfriends, Julia.

Oh dang, that's sick. That's so cool.

Yeah.

How long is that flight?

Oh? From So I'll be flying because I'm going from my hometown because my parents are watching my animals for me. Amazing flying out of Chicago from there to Brussels. Okay, I think it's a nine hour flight.

Oh, it's not too bad.

No, the flight basket gonna be much worse because I'll fly from Barcelona and I have to fly somewhere else in Europe. Then I think to like can then to Chicago the dang whoa, Yeah, that one's a little bit different. Wow, in Chicago and Brussels have a direct flight.

So that's cool. And you train it when you're there to go from one place to the next.

Training from Brussels to Paris, flying from Paris to Barcelona.

Dang, that's so cool. Yeah, that is so cool.

That is so cool. This same winter travel is crazy.

Yeah.

So that's saying like this all works out and it.

Pays work out. I know it's going to work out. Well, No, that's awesome. That's so freaking cool. My I'm so jealous. That is so badass.

Yeah, that's a plan. So this is why you need to go to Universal and Disney. You have your own international vacation within a theme park. Yeah. I know it's not the same, but same.

Yeah. I don't like lines at all, and I don't like large crowds.

Yeah, but that's also just part of the experience.

Yeah, but I don't like that part of the experience. I like the experience where I have freedom to walk around people bumping into me in lines with like five ten minutes long.

You're right, but you know what, you're gonna look back and be like, dang, we did that over the holidays and the kids loved it. You're not going to look back and be like, those lines suck.

Yeah, you're right, kids don't really carry, right, but the kids do not like long lines.

So that's true to Yeah.

I also to convinced my wife, who's also it's even more of like, we're not doing that with that many kids and that many people.

Listen, I say this all to somebody who's also impatient of flying, so like I get it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But I think you guys should. I feel like you guys would have fun. And if you go to Orlando and don't get to go to a theme park, I feel like you're gonna be bumped.

Oh I know, trust me. That's what we did last Christmas. We didn't go because the same thing. I was like, I don't really want to go on the lines, and we didn't go. Then I came back, I was like, but it didn't feel like it was that complete, like we're missing one thing.

I feel like one of those has to be less busy at one point or another. Yeah, right, you could go on Christmas actual Christmas Day? Is that busy?

Sorry? No, I got an email and someone's here, so I was just looking on something.

Sorry, got it? Okay, Well let's end. Let's end on something. You looked concerned, so I wanted to make sure you were okay. Let's end on what was the best part for you of twenty twenty four.

The best part of twenty twenty four was December thirty first, twenty twenty four. Oh stop that ish was over.

Stop it you had.

At eleven fifty nine. December thirty first, twenty twenty four was the greatest moment of twenty twenty four. Get you out of there, Scuba. You are out of this year.

You have to have something this.

Year, this next year where it's already happening right now my four days and do it.

I'm going to force you to find something that you liked about this year. You can do it. Do you want me to go first?

Yeah, you go first. I have to live for something to my email while you're going first.

Got it? That will help you. I believe that I think mine, honestly was getting to experience multiple of my friends and my sister get married. Like as much as it was the most chaotic year of my life and still is going up until literally twenty twenty five, I loved getting to experience all the weddings and seeing all my friends and my close people in my life like find their person and get married and fall in love. And that was that was a cool, joyful part for me.

Yeah, you were on a wedding tour. You were like you were like you were like literally it was like performing live Morgan Heelsman at your wedding. You were all over. I was like, this is really cool. It was a fun get a year full of a lot of like fun up and like up energy, like like like fun positive energy. And then you got to go to Vegas a couple weeks ago and do the whole thing and do all a lot of little things in between with work stuff. Like it was. I felt like it was a good year for you as far as like getting out there and doing stuff. And then you cap it off with the ultimate getting out there and doing stuff. I go into freaking Paris and Brussels and Barcelona. Yeah, that's pretty freaking cool.

Yeah, it's been like a really busy you know. It was like the weird situation where like I got broken up with and I just never saw it coming. Yeah, to like this ended up being one of the best busiest years so far. So crazy how life works out in that capacity.

But yeah, what about you? What about me?

Well, that's what give me something, give me ei. There has to be something good. In twenty twenty four there was twelve months, three hundred and sixty five days. One of those days had to be decent. Even if it was a day that you got a day off and you didn't have to do anything, that could also be an option. But I'm going to push you to have something here. Okay, this is why I told Scuba before we get into it, deep breath, and the sooner you tell me this, sooner you're.

Going to get out. Also, the first thing that you get out of this, you're a being held hostage. I've locked that door.

It is take it out and tell you you say something positive about your twenty Therefore.

I would say the first thing that comes to mind, because we have a game this coming weekend, I would say at the beginning of the year, when we are second season of the same team of kids that I was. I'm coaching for my son's basketball team. That because they had played together the first season in the fall and twenty twenty three and we're kind of figuring things out and they were jelling and they were, you know, figuring out the fundamentals and everything. And then when they were the majority same team like eight percent into the following season, which was January and February of twenty twenty four, they were like they had jails so well that they were dominating, like they were having so much fun and just playing really good basketball. And they won every single game except for one, and they beat teams they couldn't beat last previous season. So they just felt really they felt really good. They were like on a high energy high. And I was like, oh my god, it's amazing. This coaching is so much fun. And my wife was an assistant coach. She she would sit on the bench and she would hang with the with the boys. Yeah, so she would hang with the boys and be kind of like their mental coach because you know, they were five and six and after playing you know a lot, or if they got hit or they got frustrated for some reason. My wife was the best to be there and be like, hey, take a deep breath, like relax, drink some water. You're fine, take You're gonna take a break, four minutes whatever. And she talk to them for a little bit and be like look see and then she like point things out for them to watch and be like, hey, see how he's doing that or don't do that. Like she was also a coach too and like helping them to see things, but also more than anything to like calm down to get ready to come in in four minutes or at the next quarter or whatever. So she was like the really good like a great bench coach. And then I was the head coach, so I was out there with them and like directing them and telling them what to do and that kind of stuff. Power duo like we dominated. It was awesome and it was so much fun to see and to the point where we were playing all all the other teams as we're leaving other like parents, I didn't know who they were, like hey, coach, good game, Like I didn't know who they were, and I was like, I don't know that is and I was like, oh that's and I see them with the chemic Oh, that's the other team's parent or a grandparent or like whatever they were. And I was like, oh, I'm get a lot of comments from the other team like this is pretty crazy, like yeah, a good team. You guys had a great team, good coaching coach.

And I was like, well, that's really oh my god, it'll be maybe I'll be an NBA coach one day.

I don't know, this is on your dream too, wanting to become the NBA coach with yourself exactly.

I was like, damn, well, maybe I'm doing really good. Okay, I sweet. I was like, this is something that if I work at it, maybe I could do something like that.

Look at that twenty twenty four you did have a good part of your year. I'm proud of you.

Yes, thank you.

Okay, Well, let's get out of here. Tell the people where they can find you, they can find me.

Well, and then New Year, I think Twitter and not Twitter TikTok TikTok is going away? Right, and they banning it when they've been talking about it like a year.

Now, Yeah, I'll whin it happens. Will be the day that I believe it's finally happening.

Well, Vine went away so Vine.

Went away because it's legal reasons.

It just disappeared. Yes, yeh, Instagram story, well, Snapchat killed it. Snapchat was starting to come in and kind of kill it a little bit. But I miss Vine. I wish that was back. That would take Vine ever TikTok.

I do love Vine, and there are some Vine moments on TikTok so I do like those little peeping through I just literally saw one the other day and I was like, that's a Vine moment.

Yeah.

But all that to say, yes, it may still be here. Like I said, once it's officially gone, then I will believe it's actually happen.

And when it's gone, good riddance. No one really cares. I don't really care, at least don't. I don't want to see recycled content from twenty years ago. I don't want to hear you tell me about a story inside your car of the parking lot, of something that allegedly just happened with you and somebody else that sounds completely made up. But there's no evidence whatsoever of your story holds, no basis, no water, no factual evidence, nothing.

It's just you sitting in the car looking at your phone. Tell me some stupid story that is pretty entertaining, but it isn't because it's not real.

I know it's not real. Go get a job.

There are some things. I think those are more real than the one where they fake make this nerveous.

Or the fake ones too, the same thing, the fake ones and the ones where the storytelling ones of like we're gonna be funny if this happened, and we'll just tell the story in your car and the parking lot of work just happened, and the or the ones where it's like this hack that like no one's ever heard of before, but yeah, we've all heard of it from the nineties.

It's like, ah, this new thing.

If you breathe in you can get oxygen into your lungs, trot when you get home, and do it every second and you'll be able to breathe easily.

Or you know, in this moment, you're reminded me of one one.

But it's all facts that I'm talking about right now, So right now, TikTok. It's going to be a defunct app on my phone, just like Vine was one day where it's still there and you can't open or it can't do anything with it. But you can find me on there, but I don't ever go on there because I'm not doing anything.

You're doing a great job.

Last time I was there was last year because it's stupid. Oh all right, so you can find me there, Scooby see video CBS, TV, LRDO. But don't go there, go to I'll go on X sometimes that I'm minding. But a lot of times I get a bunch of stupid spam and dumb news stories and articles.
