Bobby Bones Show Best Bits of the Week with MorganBest Bits with Lunchbox: Morgan & Lunchbox Talk About Their Vacations & They Fight Over Morgan’s Fly Story
Morgan and Lunchbox almost ran into each other unknowingly on vacation, and they share details from their trips. Morgan was almost on the news, and Lunchbox admits the one thing he would change about his life. Plus, Lunchbox shares an update on his acting career, and Morgan has an interactive movie recommendation.
It's the best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Number two, What is up?
Everybody? Happy weekend? And other best bits is here. This is part one this weekend. Lunchbox is joining me lunch what's up? Man?
If Rof coming back from vacation, had to come in on a Saturday, Like we go on vacation, feel all relaxed and you work all week and like, oh, finally the weekend, I can relax and they're like, nope, gotta be here on Saturday. Do best bits of Morgan. Okay, you're a running.
Joke to say we do this on a Saturday, but we don't.
Just sobody knows.
We're recording this right now on a Friday, so prove it. It's after the show. We just got done, and this is what's happening.
Man, I watched a Saturday September ninth.
Well, they're probably gonna believe me more than you, but that's just sorry for another day. We got a lot of things to talk about today. Okay, yeah, can we talk about that?
Yeah, let's do that, all right.
So Raymundo shared about his free cruise that he got and whether it was a scam or not. We finally got like all the details of everything that happened, but I want to talk about thing once. I've realized there are two types of friends in a friend group, right, Like there's two types.
Of good looking ones and the ugly ones.
Okay, that's one way to put it, But I was more thinking the one who always makes the plans and the one who always shows up with said plans. Okay, do you feel like you are the one who always shows up or the one who always makes plans?
Well, i'm gonna tell you what. It's different. We were in different stages of life, so it varies on who makes the plans. But like when I was younger, I would always say, yo going to sixth Street, Yo going to this bar or if you know what I mean, Like I was fifty fifty, I'm not always making the plans, but you're not. I'm not gonna rely on other people to make the plans all the time. But at this age with kids, it's more you'll like once a week, if you're going to eat at a restaurant and you're gonna sit on the patio and the kids are gonna run around, you'll text other families and be like, hey, we're gonna be at this restaurant if you want to come, You'll get that text from another family once a week, and you send it to other families once a week. So it's kind of fifty fifty, okay.
Cause the reason I bring it up is I feel like ninety percent of the time I'm the one that's like initiating plans. I feel like I'm the intentional one. Like a lot of people make like loose plan, like oh, I want to see you, let's get together, whereas I'm like, no, we're doing this seven o'clock be there.
Yeah, Like usually I guess usually it's the moms that do it. Every once in a while, the dads will do because like we have a little group in the neighborhood.
You have a dad group.
No no, no, I'm saying, there's a group of families that hang out in the neighborhood. And a few weeks ago, I find I was just like, man, we haven't done anything in a while, like nice weather, anybody up for a backyard.
Hang the night.
And one of the moms was like, oh my gosh, did a dad just initiate the hangout? And I'm like, okay, rude, But point, I don't.
Feel like that's common, so you know what, proud of you.
Yeah, I was like, all right, cool, let's do it, like, let's everybody over and in the backyard. And so people came over in the backyard and the kids ran around and we ate dinner and it was great.
So I do feel like you're also a social person.
So I like hanging out and chilling and doing whatever. And yeah, yeah, you.
Don't strike me as somebody who just wants to like chill at the house all weekend.
No, And my wife always says, you know, the kids do like being home too, they don't mind being at the house. I'm like, okay, we don't always have to do something. And I'm like, yeah, I know. But she's like, it's okay, Okay.
Well that's how I wanted to know, because I do. I definitely think people fall under one like there are people who just like to be a part of everything, and you need both friends to make a friendship work, right, because you have to have the people who want to show up. But there's always somebody who tends to initiate things more than others.
So are you like, let's say you haven't talked to a friend in a while, maybe you don't have friends that you don't talk to for a month. Are you one that will initiate in text and be like, hey, how's it going? Or do they initiate and text hey, how you been?
I'm texting. It's a little bit about it. I'm a terrible texterer. Oh, like, I don't. I don't like texting unless there's a reason for the texting.
Okay, you know you don't mind reminding people that you texted them because the other day you texted me and I saw it.
But because I had a question, like I needed an answer, I know.
But a few hours later I get emphasized this text and I'm like, oh, sorry, I.
Was because I knew you forgot it. I'd been like three and a half hours. I was like, oh, he totally saw this and forgot Yeah.
I was busy doing this with that, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and then you emphasized it. I'm like, okay, I can take a hint. You want an answer, but I needed an answer.
That one was like on a time frame, so I needed an answer.
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Whereas like when I'm just talking to people, no, I don't typically do that Okay, okay, they didn't respond.
Whatever gotcha? I just I just wondered. I was like, wow, man, she really wants me to answer.
So yeah, I had a time frame, but normal texting no, And I also just don't really text that much. But like when I was driving home back to Nashville from Kansas, I like texted like three different of my friends like, hey, we haven't caught up in a while.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
Before I left it. Before I left, I was like, hey, we haven't caught up in a while. I'm driving on the road. If you want to call and catch up while while I'm driving.
There you go. Now, I kind of wait for the the story. I know your reputation because I've been in the car with you where you check emails while you're driving, So I know that you sometimes practically stoplight.
When I check that email. So you like to exaggerate stories.
I don't exaggerate.
I'm a really busy woman. I have to check emails all the time.
No no, no, no, no.
Mails how to stop flight? But yeah, no, it was to have them call and I caught up. I had like an hour and a half long conversations with each of those friends because we needed to catch up.
That's beautiful. That is beautiful.
I like to try and initiate there, but I am a really bad texture. But where I thrive in a friendship as I make the plans there you go.
So I thrive at being famous and people hanging out with the famous dudes.
Oh boy, we're going to get on this TANDID.
No, no we're not, because we're going to keep it concise. You told me you got to keep it concise. Today.
We're doing good so far. We're moving on to BBS Cinema Club review Man on the Moon. Yeah, we all watched that. Yeah, you're looking at me, like what happened?
No, No, here's the thing. It was very interesting and I have to remember this was I mean, I think Bobby said it during the segment, but I have to remember there was no social media back then.
Yeah.
So I was thinking while I was watching, I'm going, okay, So if this dude comes out and just you know, Andy Kaufman comes out and just reads a book to the entire crowd for the whole two hours until they all leave, or until he finishes the entire book, why would people in the next city, go see him. But now I realize he could do that stuff because there was no social media. So now I believe maybe I'm crazy, or it may be the exact opposite. People would see that and be like, I'm not going to pay for tickets to that, or it would be I'm gonna buy tickets to see what he does at his show next.
It's probably the latter. People are naturally intrigued just by nature, you know what I mean, Like if you hear something happened, if you're gonna be like, h I want to see what's gonna happen next, you're not gonna be like, oh, that seems horrible, I'm not gonna go. It's like we like watching train wrecks.
You're right, because I thought the sting out Tarleup, she was hilarious, Like that part hilarious. I get why that guy was funny, Yeah, Andy Copman part I don't really get why he's funny. Yeah.
I mean for most of the movie I was pretty bored, but the second half, like when it got like sad, I was like, Okay, well that's a turn of pace that this movie wasn't going. But actually it made me think about something, which is why I want to talk to you about this. If you could see your life from start to finish, would you change anything?
Well, I would never see the finish. No, I don't want to do that.
Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, see, hold on, it's just hype of thing. I know. Question if you could see your life from start to finish, and you can only like if you change one thing, you can change multiple or you change nothing. Would you change anything?
The only thing I might change is I wouldn't have gone to economics class.
Okay, of all the things today, why would you have not gone to economics class?
See that's I'm glad you asked because you thought it was a stupid, little little tang. No, it was because I went and tried out for the real world slash road rules. I drove to College Station, Texas when I was in college and I auditioned. There was an open call blah blah blah, and the lady loved me. I knew it. Like I was sitting at a table. She reached across that thanks for coming, shook my hand. I was like, oh, she's calling me, no doubt, Like I'm moving on to the next round. No doubt about it. And so I drove back to San Antonio and I had I had a five pm economics class, and so I was like, I'm back in time. I as well go to class. And I go to class, and when I got home, on the caller, I d there was a area code three two three, and I asked my roommate Clay. I was like, hey, Clay, who called you from three two three? And he goes, I don't know anybody. And my brother had moved in at that time because he had gotten a job after he graduated college. So he was sleeping on a mattress on my bedroom floor. Shout out to my brother. Uh, And I was like, hey, Joe, who called you from the three two three? He's like, I don't know who that is? And I google three two.
Three LA, and you think that was your missed opportunity for a callback?
For Oh, it was, for sure. But I'm like, why didn't they call my cell phone? Why did I give him that stupid number? Would I've run out of class and answered it if I if I'd have seen three two three, yeah, because it probably would have said Los Angeles. Maybe that it didn't have that technology that where it would have said Los Angeles now it says the city.
Yeah.
But so that was my one thing I would change everything else. I don't think I changed it, Like, I mean, I dominated life.
If you change it that one decision and say you did end up on Real World, I mean, it would have changed the course of the rest of your life.
Correct, I understand that.
And you would you would be okay with that, Like you would maybe be okay not be married, not having the three kids that you have, maybe not being on the show.
Yeah, I mean I would be doing something else. I would have probably married someone else. Yes, I'd have different kids. But that was my dream. That was my goal, you know, to do that. So that's the one thing besides that I dominated life, like I didn't miss out on anything. Like we we crushed it as kids. I mean we did so many things. We caused a lot of havoc in our neighborhood. We we we were we kidded it up like kids kid it up. It was awesome.
I mean, that's a pretty big shift if you were to.
Change, like I don't, Like I used to want to go to Kansas University of Kansas, you know, like I wanted to be a Jayhawk, but I didn't go because I didn't have the grades to get in and then out of state tuition and like my going into my senior year of college, I applied to Kansas and I got in, but i'd have been a sophomore again because of transfers of credits and all that, and I was like, I ain't worth it, that's not so I couldn't, but I was because that's all I wanted to go, and I didn't do it, and I'm like, I'm glad I didn't do it because my life turned out pretty dang good. But man, that one call though, because of stupid economics.
Man. I mean, like I said, pretty major shift change if you were to go back and change that one thing, and.
That's what I'm saying, that one thing, that one economics class focused.
Point in your life. Had you changed that moment in time, it would have changed everything. You can go back and change little moments and it might not change much, but that for you would be like, Okay, new course correction correct. Yeah, I don't I don't think I would change anything. I just don't, like I think you.
Don't think you would change graduate in high school early and.
Oh I mean, I graduated high school and college early, and I went through a whole craptown of things that I wish I hadn't. But I don't think I would change him because I just don't think I would be where I am right now if none of that would have happened. Yeah, and you know, maybe if I see like the Red say, you know, say I see that I don't get married, or maybe I see that like I choose not to have kids, and maybe like later on, I'm like, oh I wish I did that. Maybe that happens later on, but like at this moment, Morgan, right now, I don't think she would.
Okay, you know what I mean? Yeah, I get it, and I mean my kids are great. It's cool. But I'm just saying that dream of being on it.
This is why I asked.
I just wanted to know when you have dreams, man, it sucks when they don't happen, when they don't come true. Like one of my dreams was to meet rest in Peace Bob Barker, like I said it on the show. Like as a kid, I would watch The Prices, right, and I was like, that is the coolest thing ever is people go up and shake his hand, and I was like, I can't wait to do that. And then he retired and then he died, so I never did remet him, but I but once Drew Carey took over, I was like, I mean, I'd still want a price is right? If you're listening, I still let me tell you. I'd still be like, come on down, you're the next kintest on the price is right.
Well that's if you're the contestant. You wouldn't say that, but yeah, that's.
What I'm saying. I would love for them to say that to me and have me come on now.
All right, Well, I feel like you could. I feel like you just like buy a ticket to the show and go.
I think the tickets are free.
Oh okay, well you gotta get your ticket. You discussed in the audience for a few nuts. I know.
I mean I would do it. I would do it for a month just to get my name called.
I feel like you could. I feel like we could make that happen. Didn't we talk about that for a hot minute.
Yeah, well, let's not bring it back up. See sad memories. I'd changed that.
Okay. Well, on that note, we're gonna take a quick break. We came back from vacation this week and Bobby shared a story about a flight got canceled and then he got a first flirst. He got a first class ticket and his wife didn't. So that was like a whole story, and I feel like it could have potentially ended up on the news with everything that was happening. But the reason I say.
That, what why could end up on the news?
Yeah, you just never because like those stories we've seen. Those stories were like if he would have taken the seat instead of giving it to his wife, We've seen the news stories about how like that's the whole thing.
No, No, the news stories, I think I don't think you understand what the news stories are. The news stories are like let's say a woman a kid. Yeah, but no, no, no, no, you haven't let me.
I know, I know you're trying. I post all the news stories I'm.
Told it's like a woman is sitting in two B and some other woman sitting in to A, and the woman in two B says, oh, can you move so my husband can sit there?
So it's like, well that, but there's also been one about a husband and wife and he sat in first class and she didn't. I don't remember that, but yeah, yeah, there's a lot of like first class stories like that.
Well why does the guy have to give that? That is just so annoying. But go with your question. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna derail us, but I'm just gonna be like, why does the guy have to be the one that always gives up?
What?
The woman was offered the ticket, whild she had to go, Oh, husband, no, you take it.
No.
Everybody like, no, it's okay for the white to sit there, but if the husband does it, it's so rude. It's like, shut up already, Like why why is it so rude the husband to accept the benefit but the wife can accept the benefit? Again, it makes no sense.
Let me ask you this. If you get a free first class ticket, would you then pay to have the other person be first class with you? No?
You know how fat expensive it is to be first class?
I mean I don't because I've never.
It's like triple the price.
I've never even looked. I'm being honest to first class tickets.
Oh, usually, like if you go to maybe it's Delta. I don't know, because I usually just fly Southwest.
I fly Southwest they don't even have classes.
That's what I'm saying. But if you go to one of those other ones, it says like it lists all three prices right away, like it's like first class, main cabin or trash that gets on last. And it's like, can you.
Imagine me in a person that always gets a five first class?
Let me sit here and think, Yeah, I can imagine.
It sounds like it feels pretty awesome. Yeah, I give me the expensive one.
Oh, my buddy Ryan, because he travels so much for work, he gets first class and he has all these perks at hotels, like he lives the life of luxury. He can go in the oh the club, private room, yeah, the private rooms at the airport, I mean everything. It's unbelievable.
Yeah. I do know. If you're like good at traveling and like you pay attention to points and everything, you can't figure some things out.
Yeah, and what's cooled? I don't travel enough. So whenever I go to like a Marriotte, I use his number and.
Then you get all the perks.
Yeah, I get all the party free cookie.
Isn't Marriot the one that does the free cookies?
Not sure, don't remember.
I guess higher I don't know. There's one of them that does a free cookie.
I don't know, but he's got a reward's number. So I get upgraded from my hotel room and you get it.
Pretend you're bougie. Yeah.
And then sometimes like if I'm going somewhere and i've you know, hooked him up with my I've used his number enough, he'll put it and I get free rooms.
You really have things figured out, don't you. Yeah. You figure you use.
Your friends and they use you like you barter with each other. That's the whole point of life. Man.
I thought you're about to say that's a whole point of friendship. I was gonna say, I feel like we have more to talk about.
No, no, no, I'm just saying it's it's a cool it's a cool little scheme.
It's a perk of friendship.
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's what I'm trying to think of the word.
All right. Interesting. Well, I was I was almost a news story. There was. We were driving back to Nashville and there was a fly in my car and you know, you know, like the first thirty minutes you're like, hmm, this isn't too bad, and you're like, it's fine, it'll exit itself at some point. Right, No, this fly state with is for four hours.
No, no one of my questions. Hold on, did you roll down all four windows?
Hold on? Wait? Okay? So I had my dog and my cat with me, and every time the fly landed on my dog, she was like trying to chase it. And I had the cat in the car and she's just chilling underneath my seat. But anytime i'd roll down a window, she'd just start meowing like crazy because it hurt her little ears. So like, I couldn't keep the window open for very long, but I'd try.
Hold on, hold up, you only open one window.
Well, because it'd be like, right, I'd only open the one that where was next to see because it was so loud. I didn't want to hurt her ears.
I understand, but you want to know why it's hurting her ears? You have to open two windows?
Well, I do that sometimes. Full what you have to.
Like crack anther exactly, and that's what you do, and it wouldn't hurt the cats of ears.
I did that after the first time.
After the first I've never met a rookie mistake. No, you did well, hold on.
The fact that you were in the middle of the story.
Okay, sorry, the fact that you didn't just roll down all four windows. For about five minutes that fly had been gone. But go ahead, go and tell me your stories.
Also, okay, it started with one window and then it eventually moved to all four windows. But keep in mind we were going eighty on a highway. Okay, so there's a lot of pressure happening in that car. So regardless I put it down all the windows. The fly I never left the car, did not matter. It would not get out of the car, okay. And at one point it landed on my dog and I tried to help her, and I like had to swerve, and oh my god. On the news, do you.
See what I mean by you and your driving? You are a distracted driver.
I'm not distracted.
Did you tried to pat the fly?
The fly in their car? It was in there for four hours.
You tried to pat your dog.
I wasn't patting my dog. I was trying to swat the fly out of the car because it's on my dog.
See, guys, this is case in point. When I say that Morgan can't drive and that she gets distracted, She checks her emails a lunch.
If you had a snake in your car, what would you pull over?
Oh, you would a snake. So you're you're telling me you're preparing a snake to a fly.
I'm saying. I'm just saying, what would you do? You never know what you would do until you're.
In I've never I've never heard of anybody being scared of a fly.
I've scared of the fly after exactly.
A snake is a fearful Oh my gosh, I'm going to die of them. A fly is that's annoying?
Die from a gardener's snake that's probably in your car.
Well, how do you know? As a gardener snake? You can't look at it.
Yeah, they have a certain color.
You just hear.
If you hear a little rattle, rattle, then yeah, you're probably gonna die, but not likely.
I mean, guys, tell me I'm crazy. I guess I'm talking to you. Guys right now, they're listening. Would you not just hit all four windows down for about five minutes that fly would be sucked out of there? No, no, you didn't. You said I'd rolled down one and then rolled it up and then and it moved to another window, I rolled it down.
You weren't listening to a story, then I started with one and eventually made my way to have all four downs.
No, you did not.
Yes, I literally told you that in the story.
You've changed the story once I started giving you a hard time.
No. No, you didn't even let me finish the story before you started giving me a hard time.
I'm standing by my story in my philosophy.
Anyway, if you saw a snake in the car, yes you would pull over. But guess what. You'd freak out, and you'd probably swear when you first saw it because you didn't know it was in there.
Yes, but if fly is not the same as a snake.
A fly, after four hours of driving with it, it's pretty freaking annoying. And until you've been in that situation, don't you judge anything.
Don't worry. I'll never be in that situation because I'll roll down all four windows immediately and that fly will be gone.
Yeah, that's what you think.
That guarantee.
But you know what, some flies they like to stick around.
They don't hang out. No, then your car must stink.
Had two animals in the car.
That's not true. I got three animals in the car every day.
I don't like telling you stories. No one have come to that conclusion because first of all, you interrupted my story.
I didn't.
Second of all, you didn't even listen. And third of all, you feel like you know what you would do in every scenario, but you don't.
That's not how much no I do it does you don't like? That's why you tell me a story so I can give you my opinion and advice.
I think we know how things are gonna happen, and then they happen, and then you know, like that was not what I wanted to do in that scenario.
I understand that.
But no, I'm not a distracted driver. And you know what, I haven't had an accident like I.
That doesn't mean you're not a distracted driver. You understand.
I'm on the road. I drive back and forth. I've driven home. By the end of this year, I will have driven home three different times. I've never had That is twenty plus hours on the road. WHOA, you don't drive that much. You fly all the time, so no time.
When we first moved here, I drove home all the time.
Okay, but I'm saying if somebody's actually a bad driver, they would have more incidents, lunchbox. I don't have any incidents. I'm a good driver. Okay, you just got mad because I had a brand new phone, which you didn't even tell the full story when you talked about that brand new phone that did not have a case on it. And no, I would not let you hold it because I don't trust you with a brand new phone with no case on it.
Yeah, because I'm going somewhere in the car, I'm sitting there. Instead you would hold it and look down at the phone.
That seems because why why would I trust somebody with a thousand dollars for me it doesn't have a case.
What's safer me holding the phone or you holding the phone while you're driving and looking down at it?
Just just okay, I was looking at a map, so don't say I was looking down.
Doing right whind you were looking at the map. But what is safer for me to hold the map and tell you which way to go or for you to look down at the map while you're driving.
It's not safer for me because I would not have made all the turns. I'm telling you, I'm a very visual person. I have to look at a map. No.
No, if I say, if I say this next right, you're going to take a right, you wouldn't know to take a right at the next right, which.
Is why typically my phone sits.
In a hold on I understand because it was.
A brand new phone without a case on it. It wasn't in the holder and my hand was being held where the screen in my car is.
So it's not like, oh no, uh huh.
You and I remember this trip very differently.
Yeah, I know, because you like to paint a which is beautiful picture.
I left you here and I was not giving you a ride.
That's fine.
That's why you still have to ride your bike to work.
That's right, it's good for me.
I'm moving on from this before I actually get angry with you.
Yeah, that's be careful. There may be a fly. You may turn this podcast all upside now because there's a fly.
I'm gonna get you back with a snake and you're gonna hit your life.
I didn't. There's a fly is not You're not scared of a fly.
You understand that I was annoyed by a fly after four hours.
You know what I'm annoying?
You get with the room. You stay in a room with a fly for for four hours and tell me you don't get annoyed.
I just opened the door and let it fly out.
Okay, okay, Yeah, you're so smart. You're so smart.
Thank you.
You are right, Lunchbox, and every scenario you are right.
Not every scenario.
One of August happened this week and it was not you.
It would have been me.
But nope, no it wouldn't.
Okay, Nope, that's fine.
We're gonna talk about some random I don't know if you can tell. Lunchbox and I have bigger like brother and sister. Very often this is because you don't even let me finish my story.
Before you finish it.
I would like to play the tape back. You started talking before I even got through the story. You didn't even know that the fly was in there for that long.
You didn't know any of the you said I was in there for four hours, And I was like, you didn't just roll down all four windows. That was my that was I had a question in your story. So when something like I just want you to admit that.
You interrupted my story because you did.
Not probably not. You did put a pull up, putting a pull up bride did a lot.
I want to ask some questions of what kind of person are you? Because I feel like it kind of reveals your personality. Okay, do you take the trash out the night before the morning of.
Morning of what like the morning.
Of trash day?
What do you mean taken out?
Set the trash on the curb.
I have an alley. They'll never have to take it out. It just sits there.
You're not normal, you have to you just roll out the question. It just sits there. You never have to take the trash.
Out, No, Like it just sits there. Like I have an alley behind my house.
People have to roll out their garbage can to the end of the driving.
I understand. I'm not, but I'm just saying that this question doesn't apply to me. It hadn't applied to me in ten years. Okay, since we moved here. I've had an alley.
At both of the places that you guys have lived.
Well, the first one where Ray and I lived, No, it was just a like a what do you call it, like a town home compleats or whatever, and the garbage can just sat out there like by the like I didn't have to roll it back to the house or anything. And then where we live our house, we just it's an alley go put the trash can in and boom you just so yeah, there is no taking it out the night before or the night after, which is great. So you never missed trash day. You never had to be like, oh, dang, it got.
The trash ap'll come through the alleyway. Yeah, I feel like that's little.
Oh it's tight, but it's legit.
Okay, Well I always put it out the night of, but lately it's been the morning off, and it's been chaotic.
You see, the morning of, just like it worries me. You forget, we'll see. Just having to do it, it would, I guess you would have to say your I mean my clock, like, oh, tomorrow's trash day in the morning of. Oh what if they come early? What? Because do you know what time? Here's people call?
Oh they come out all random times, never consistent.
That's the scary thing.
They typically never come before I leave for work, so I can always at least gid it out.
What time or what day is your trash day? Tuesdays okay, I think minus Thursdays. Really, yeah, I'm pretty sure I do know.
In Nashville, we're all on different days. That's how they get to old.
Yes, that's why. It's just like my it's just out there. Don't have to worry about it. It's it's like one less thing you have to worry about, which is awesome in life. Mark that off the list.
That's fair. Well, I have to take mine honor serious day.
Yeah, don't get see you don't get mad at me. I'm so you don't even have to take your trash out. You don't go with the questions. I didn't do on that one. I didn't want to lie because you didn't let me. I didn't want to lie to the listeners. I didn't want to lie and say, oh, I take it out every night the night before a lie. I know, I'm just saying, listeners, See, so I'm honest with you.
Cook food or do you order takeout?
We do both. We cook most more often. Oh, we cook most nights, but then there's some nights it's just like, oh, we're so tired and whatever got busy, and all the kids like, oh, let's go to a restaurant, so we'll order takeout.
Okay.
I would say it's about seventy two twenty eight seventy two percent or seventy two point three percent.
I feel like I'm the same, but I'm more so cook food. But I just like it's really hard cooking food for a person by themselves because ingredients always go bad. Yeah, you always have too much. So in those situations, I have to then order foods and I don't want to go buy more food that's going to go bad.
Well you could. This is what you can do, which is cook it, freeze it, then heat it up.
Yeah. I do buy a lot of freezer food, not like already made, but I buy a lot of like fruits and veggies that are frozen and that helps. But I don't know, I feel like freezing food is sometimes weird for certain things.
Well, I agree, it's like, oh, cook a big castle, role eat, have it, and then freeze it. And I'm like, is that really weird? That seems weird? I don't know.
I know it's probably not. It's probably just in my head, like the texture of food.
But yeah, I'm just not. And I'm also not huge leftover guy. Yeah, and my wife's I don't understand how, you know, like leftover. So I'm like, because like when it's fresh and hot. It's so good, like warming it up. It's like one bite's hot, one bites cold, one bite's warm, one bites luke cold.
You don't know what you're gonna get.
Yeah, and it's like, ah, so it just doesn't taste the same.
So I get I get you. What about do you wait to see a new movie or watch it right away? Oh?
Wait, I mean I don't see movies.
Yeah, watch new movies anymore.
I very rarely watch a movie. I mean I watch movies for the cinema club and that's pretty much yet, because it's just not a lot of time to sit down and watch a movie.
I doesn't say it may be the result of having kids, because like when a new movie comes out, I almost watch it, like immediately. As soon as I see something new on one of my streaming platforms, I'm like, god, watch it.
Oh, I don't even know. I thought you were talking about going to a theater.
Too, too, Like I'm going to theaters for movies.
I can't tell you. The last movie I went to in the theater might have been Fast and Furious nine or whatever, ten whatever. We went to Mike D's birthday like a year and a half ago.
But I actually think that might have been like two or three years ago.
Oh was it?
Yeah?
Oh well then there you go. I think that's probably the Maybe so maybe I went to one other one, but I can't remember it. It's just it's hard that the timing of doing a movie, and like, I don't want to pay a babysitter so I can go to the movie.
That's fair.
That seems kind of crazy when you take your.
Kids to the movies. Ever, no, too young still.
I think we're on that the brink of being able to take them to movies. Now, the youngest one is one, so I don't think he could go to a movie.
Well, when you're at the youngest one, you tend to just get carted around.
Oh trust me, he he he gets carted and he gets hey, we're just going. Like when we went on vacation, we were doing stuff and I was like, hey, let's go.
That's why I feel like I'm very glow with the flow because I'm the youngest and I just got brought everywhere to ask me.
I'm going with the flow too, because yeah, yeah, I'm the best.
I do feel like it comes with that territory you're just kind of we're used to you don't even know it, like subconsciously, you're just really good with like going with whatever's happening because you were drug along everywhere.
Yeah, it's it's cool. It's cool. He's got a good attitude some days gets that bad attitude from his mind.
I mean, that is a kid. That's being a kid. Do you like to work out in the mornings or the evenings?
Ooh, Like, if I'm going to go for a run, I would rather do it in the morning, just to get it done so I know I've got it done instead of it being two o'clock and it being super freaking hot.
Yeah.
I don't ever. Like if I'm going to go for a run, it's never at night because the kids are home. The only thing I do at night is if I go play a soccer game. That's it. But everything else has to be a morning or afternoon.
I'm with you. If I could work out every morning, I would. I obviously don't want to get up at at three am and go work out show, but if I could, I would be a morning workout person.
Yeah. I used to, Like in high school, I used to go because I ran cross country i'd go run before school, so I mean i'd put in six seven, eight miles before I went to class.
Is that why you were sleeping in class?
Oh my gosh, that first period good night.
I mean I was like, you do workouts to be more awake, but they end up making you more tired.
Yeah, I mean, well because you're sitting there, Like, if you're doing stuff, it's fine, but when you just sit down, you're in this boring class, you know, like the US history.
The typical sleep where you sleep keep knowing and you're throwing it back trying to wake up.
I hate that. I hate that. And in high school I used to when I knew I was going to go to sleep, I would just put a piece of paper on my desk and then put my hands, you know, over the top, and I'd put my forehead on my wrist and sleep and then the piece of paper but not really yeah, but then that way the piece of paper would catch my drowel.
So then you couldn't show what was happening.
Well, no, because just because I didn't want to know, just because I didn't want the drool to you know, roll out on the desk. So I just put the piece of paper down and then the notebook paper would soak up.
All the drools that you're passed out. Hard enough to be drooling is.
Oh I can I was a good sleeper.
Well, yeah, I've seen you. I've seen you sleep on airplanes. You're knocked out in two seconds flat, legit. I mean I talk to you and two seconds later you look over and you'd be passed out.
I mean, I remember sleeping to high school and just be like, oh man, it's so awesome. I wonder her teachers like what are you doing?
That about you a lot just normally like what am I doing?
Yeah?
What are you doing? Okay? We did have Ashley McBride stop by the show and she was really awesome. But she mentioned something during her glam sessions about how she wants, which is these old TV shows and it's kind of part of their routine. What TV show have you been loving lately? Anything?
Geez?
What have we watched anything new? Besides our Survivor and reality TV shows?
We're watching a Big Brother right now?
TV?
Oh?
Sorry, Like I can already plan on you saying all those so I already know that.
We're still we're still trying to finish Succession. That's the one we're still trying to get through. We're on the last I believe it's the last season.
Okay, you've made some headways since you were last time.
Yeah, so it just takes a while. It's like it's like it's hard, but yeah, we I think we're trying to get Succession done. That's it. That's all we've watched. Okay, I mean, and after Succession we'll hit Ted Lasso.
Oh you still was in the new season of Ted last great because we want to finish Succession.
You don't want to jump into another show. But then Big Brother started and my wife, oh my gosh, her soul, but she's obsessed with Big Brother. Like I like it, but she is obsessed.
Yeah that's fair. That's her vibe.
It's her vibe.
But it's like, gosh, but a whole lot of reality.
No, no, But she likes watches the live feeds and I'm like, like, so she already knows what happens before we watch the show. And I'm like, well, it likes to be ready. That seems to. And then she watches she has some podcasts she listens to.
Oh, she's like all it.
About where some guy literally watches the feeds the whole time. He doesn't go to sleep or something because he had He breaks down every hour of what went down on the live feeds, or he has people to do it and give him a recap. I don't know, but she listens to that, dude, and I'm like, you are out of control.
Oh. Yeah, she loves it. She's obsessed with it a.
Little too much, like she might need to go to rehab.
Oh don't say that.
No, really, No, it can be an addiction something, you know. No, no, no, you can enjoy something. But there's going too far.
I don't think she's there yet. If she was like trying to find all these people in real life, like you know, going after I'm like, hey, we gotta go visit Los Angeles because they're here. Oh no, and I think you're there. I think she just loves it. It's probably like a guilty pleasure for he.
Yes, I think that's what it is.
Yeah.
It's it's rough, though, man, but I enjoyed the show. It's really corny. The corny factor is so annoying, Like they make it so corny and they do these graphics sometimes and the theme this year where they're trying to do these universes and tie everything in. It's like, no, no, no. They had this game where they these BBS couples met in BBS. But what we're gonna do is we're gonna say these BBS couples met and we're gonna write letters as them, and then there's gonna be a word in the letter and you have to find that word in the picture. It's like, why didn't they just say the word is dog? Find the dog in the picture. Why did we have to go through the sog and dance of they met in the BBS house back, you know, seasons before. But we're gonna which to their partner and make them you know what if they would have got together with someone else, and it's like, just say the word is You're gonna look for clown shoes in the picture.
You would like them to be a little bit more concise, is what it sounds like.
It was like cool, I mean, it was just like so confusing, and then it was just there's gonna be a word. Underline that word, you're gonna define it in a B or C. Coolda is so much easier just to say that instead of having to write these love letters and ah.
Stupid, tell me how you really feel? No, please, I was kidding, really stupid. I know how you feel.
Though, What do you watch?
Not happy with that? Well, not too that you would watch because one of them is a very emotional show and your wife won't let you watch.
Yeah, she don't like that feelings.
It's Virgin River. They had just dropped the fifth season, and I mean you would think, like you know, when chose him to like fall off after a few seasons, You're like, Okay, it's not good.
Yeah.
Every time they.
Get me like, I don't even know what Virgin River is, never heard of it.
It's basically this nurse who moves to this small town, Virgin Ridger. That's like it looks like it's kind of an organ and it's on this big river and there's shootings that have happened there's so it's Yellowstone. No, it's like a nurse. It's not like cowboys, but it's like this nurse who moves there, and like they have all these really complicated kind of storylines that fall in it. But it's really good.
Like right now, where do you watch it?
It's on Netflix.
I probably won't watch it. But I'm just for people.
Like last night, I was watching it and I really needed to go to bed. But they keep each episode they leave you on like a.
Little cliffhanger, so then you got to start the next one to say, oh, I hate those but.
It's so good. It gets you, it gets you going.
Yeah, but then it costs you sleep. You can't go to sleep because you need to know what happened next. And it's like, ah, I did.
I'm running on a little fuel right now. It's okay. And then I'm watching a Star Wars movie, which I know you're gonna judge you for. Wait a movie or sorry TV show palled Ahsoka and it's really good.
Okay, what about a Jedi? And like I don't know who, Like, I don't know what a Jedi mean. It's like it's Jedi, the one that like the little robot.
One lightsabers, you know, the lightsabers.
But they concentrate on people that aren't Luke.
Yeah. Oh yeah. Like we had just had a Mandalorian series that was all about a Mandalorian baby Yoda.
Wait, wait, what is a Mandalorian?
Is that a persons in this universe? It's not an object?
I really thought Mandalorian was the the spacecraft they fly.
Oh no, you're talking are you talking about Harrison Ford's gosh, what is it called the what is this hold on?
I'm stealth bomber.
They do have a plane in Star Wars. Why can't I think of see?
I have no idea?
What is it?
Why?
Why can't Why isn't it just like pulling up? So it's because Harrison Bord like flies all these regular plays.
So what's it called? Mandalorian is a person?
Mandalorian is a person, and that's the TV show. But right now it's Yoda.
Yoda is the original kid dude, right, he's a little green guy Yoda.
And then there's baby Millennium Falcon. So they no, he didn't have a baby. It's called the Child. And the Mandalorian is a bounty hunter and so he goes through and he's bounty hunting and all.
These different so it's like dog the bounty hunter.
Definitely, not definitely, but he's a bounty hunter on all these different planets and he has to find this gift that he has to then give to somebody else to make the money. Well, when he finds it, it's the child and it's baby Yoda. You find out has a name later in his whole story, But that's Mandalorian. This is Ahsoka, which is like a Jedi.
So Mandalorian goes and finds baby Yoda, and then Yoda's like, oh my god, I'm a dad. I didn't know that one night on sixth Streets.
He's just called baby Yoda because he's the same creature. But he's actually not related to Yoda. He has his own story. He's just the same creature.
Well that's a relief for Yoda. He's like, dang, I don't have to pay child support, so he doesn't have to. They don't act like father.
I'm a lot of things in Star Wars and it's not gonna make any sense, but yeah, trying to.
So Yoda does not add like a father figure to baby Yoda.
Nod Yoda's not even alive, at least not in my God. The storylines are complicated, but in Mandalorian Yoda is never involved. Okay, people just called him baby Yoda because for the several first few episodes he didn't have a name. Got it, and then he had a name and now but.
Yeah, got it?
Okay, Okay, But Ahsoka is a new Star Wars TV show and it's really good.
All right, we've spent way too much on Star Wars. Okay, we lost half our listeners.
No, we did it. There's a new movie on Netflix, though. Would you watch this? I didn't even realize when I turned it on. It was just like a rom com. That's why I thought I was watching. But it's an interactive movie, so you get to choose. Oh no, how like each way the actor goes and what she does, and you get to see how it all plays out, like how you would choose for it to play out.
No, you w watch it? No, because I just want a movie. I don't want to have to like choose your own adventure books, because then you know what you're gonna do, what you're gonna do one scenario, and then the next day you're gonna go back and have her do the other thing, because you want to see how that went in. I'm not watching a movie three times.
Yeah, it's true, you can go back.
That's what I'm saying. That's what they want you to do.
But it was fun to watch, like how I would have chosen for it to play out, like if I was in her shoes, this is how I would have maneuvered it. It was fun watching that, like play out in a movie.
So have you gone back and said, oh, you know what, I want to try the other way?
Oh? Yeah, I did it while I was watching it.
See I know.
Hold on, I did my whole I did my whole storyline first, right, and then you go back and then it says, do you want to end the movie or do you want to go back? So you get in the movie. No. See, I just wanted to go back because I wanted to see what else is gonna happen.
That's what I'm saying.
So you watched it twice, but I watched how I Oh, I think it was like three or four times. But they were like it was like they would just pick up from where they left off. So it wasn't like I think in total it is maybe two hours. It wasn't like super long, you know what I mean.
I see what you're saying.
Okay, but yeah, so you want to watch it.
No, I'm probably not gonna watch Call.
Choose Love on Netflix though. So if you're looking for an interactive movie.
I'll probably not watch that one. You tell your wife, pably not gonna watch that one. I'm not gonna tell me more about that one. Don't worry.
Okay, we're gonna take one more quick break. Apparently Nintendo is looking for a new Mario voice, so we had more Mario voice auditions, and it made me think about your acting adventures. Is there any new updates?
No, no new updates, just kind of rolling it wrong, just trying to to, you know, get better polish my craft.
Are you still doing your online acting class? Still having on an in person class?
It's hard. I mean, you know, it's a class vote. And then also I'm just being like, it's hard with three kids to go to an to an actual acting class, like in person. Like I can do it late at night when we do the zoom. It's cool because the kids are in bed. It's just it's tough.
That's fair. Okay, Well, I just wanted to see if there was any to be.
Or not to be. Say hello to my little friend. Now you're now you're I'm doing acting.
You're impersonating other characters. Say that, No, I don't know what's happening.
Said okay, pretty dangn good, well commercial give me an oscar.
Okay. We did also share the sounds from our vacation, and I want to talk about our vacations.
Let's talk about it.
So that's us coming in that number one spot.
Okay, you want to talk about yours.
First, get to the number one spot.
Well, not really, Well, but you're in it. Well yeah, I'm always in it when I'm here, I'm always in the number one spot. I'm always in it.
I know. I just say, you can't complain this, you're in it, Okay, I.
Mean your vacation. You drove right by me and then say hi, I was kind of rude.
Yeah, lunchbox. And I found out afterwards that we passed right by each other, like we missed each other by like a day at the same place, in the same national park. Yeah, that's right, which is kind of crazy because that's kind of hard, Like national parks are massive.
Yeah, Rocky Mountain National Park. And you went in the same entrance as me, because when you came down that road, you had to go right, go down, take a left, and you turn and go up back up towards.
So we were saying in park and you were staying somewhere closer to I was.
Saying a Rocky Mountain or YMCA of ess Park the Rocky YMC of the Rockies, YMCA of the Rockies. Yeah, and she drove right by it. It was on her left hand side. She went down into Ess Park, hit that right, then had to hit the U turn left and then go back up over to the entrance in the national park that same place we drove in. She took a picture next to the side and asked my wife, Hey, do we want to a picture next to the family the sign? And she said no, And so we didn't get the same picture. Who didnt Pretty funny we had the same exact picture.
It would have It would have been funny. We did listen like I we hit six states and we did four national parks, and I mean I spent like fifty plus hours on the road a little road warrior at this point. Dang, but lunch was so worth it. So we went. We went from Wichita to the bad Lands National Parks.
I don't know what that is. I don't even know what bad lands means.
That's in bad Lands. You know they're bad lands. I don't know why it's called that, but it's in South Dakota, Okay. And it looks like a Star Wars movie, which was really cool.
Here we go everything back to Star Wars. What is like? What is bad Lands? Like it's just rolling hills.
Oh no, it's like it's like desert and there's all these different colors and it like and like and there's a pinnacles entrance and they look like these little teeny tiny pinnacles just all like water pinnacles, like little like think of an icicle. Okay, the best way I can describe it like up down in their skinny but there's they're like these little like skinny butts. I don't really like a landscape that's like straight across and it comes down kind of looks like a pyramid without a top.
Okay, got it?
Does that help? It's like this full, like really like kind of desert landscape and like it's just you don't see. It's very vast and very open. I got to watch the sunset there in the bad Lands, which is insane, like crazy to watch it come down and over all these like cool colors, over these brutes Okay, butts, boots, I don't know. I don't know. Okay, I was calling Geezer guys. There's Geezers, so I'm not there. Great, And then we went to about Rushmore and that was, you know, cool, I've seen it. I never need to see it again.
Really, like, it's cool.
I'm glad I got to see It's small, it's huge.
Do you drive right up to hike to it?
You can drive and see it, you don't necessarily have to park walk up to it. But we parked and we walked up.
Till can you like reach into their nose?
No? No, no, no, no, no. You can get close to it, like if you want to keep walking all the way up, you can get close up there, but you're not going to be next to the statue.
Okay, So I didn't know like if you could stand and put your head in the nose like you're coming out of their nose, or you put your head in their mouth.
No, no, no, you cannot. It is it's cool to see. And we looked at the history of it and like how it all came together. It was very a forward thinking for the time.
Right, But like does it still look like them?
Yeah? Oh yeah, like the structures have held up amazing.
But oh wait, wait, hold on, I mean this may be a stupid question. Yeah, I have no idea about Mount Rushmore. Is it just carved into the side.
Of a mountain. Yeah, okay, it was literally.
So it's all like a statue that was just built.
No, that's what took it. And like that's why it's so crazy, is like for that time and you see all these old if you go into like the history part of it, there's all these old things that they were using to create those sculptures, which is wild.
Yeah, okay, so that's.
Why it's like so cool part of history. But like I'm much more I like nature made man made things.
Yeah, I got what you're saying.
Yeah, so like I saw it cool. I got to see it. Now I don't have to ever go back.
Okay.
And then so we left there and we headed over to the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park and drove from the east entrance to the west entrance.
Okay, did you camp.
We didn't camp, but we did stay at Henry's Lake State Park in Idaho, which is on the other side because like it's Wyoming, Montana, Idaho literally all right next to each other in the west entrance of Yellowstone.
Okay, I did see I think I saw Wyoming.
Yeah.
When I was at the Rocky Mountain National Park, they were like if you look this way, you can see I think it's Wyoming or Idaho. I don't know. And so I saw it and I'm like, oh, I definitely can tell where it starts. It's like, how am I supposed to know on miles away? No? No, it's like it's there because you're all on top of the mountain. But I'm like, I don't know which one, Like where where does it start? Like but I saw one of those states.
Yeah you saw it, you just didn't. That's funny. And loved it, like loved Yellowstone. You gotta see a whole crap time and wildlife and Lambar Valley, which that's where we saw wolves and elk and antelope and definitely a lot of bison. But like just cool experience getting to see Yellowstone. And that's how Like I had my fun fact of Yellowstone as a super volcano, which I did not know. Did not realize that whole park SIT's on a literal volcano that can erupt at any moment.
Oh you could still up.
Oh yeah, like they think it's gonna happen in the next hundreds of years. Yeah, crazy, So go see it soon.
You know, I'll get there tomorrow.
And they have a lot of geysers that I like to call geezers.
What is it? What is it? They just shoot out lava.
No, they shoot out like hot steaming water. Essentially, it's showcasing that like there is something underneath the surface.
Okay, so don't get close.
No. And it smells like sulfur because there's all these like thermal areas too, where it's just like steam coming off and it's sulfur. Okay, So it's not like it looks like, oh yeah, you can sit a salt No, sulfur. It smells terrible, but I could smell. My parents were telling me.
That that's funny.
Okay, So got it? Got it. Experience like all of Yellowstone.
Did you see the idiots getting close to the animals are getting oh my gosh, yeah, getting close to the geezers?
Yeah yeah, people are just dumb, like you should listen to warnings.
Yeah.
So yes, we saw plenty of that. And then we went from Yellowstone National Park down through Grand Teton National Park, which was my favorite part of the whole trip. I like I would live in Jackson Hole and go to the Tetons all the time. They're mountain range, the Tetons are a mountain range, but Grand Teton National Park is like very underrated compared to Yellowstone because Yellowstone leads into Grand Teeton.
Yellowstone gets all the pubs, the beauty.
Yeah, like I loved Yellowstone. It is beautiful. But Grand Teton it's like where it's at. It's just there's so many cool lakes, like Glacier Lakes and stuff in there that are just really cool to see and I just loved it. Jackson Hole is like my favorite place like on Earth now, God, and I would go back there to a heartbeat. I'd love to go back for like a Christmas snowy time. Have so much one you can go snowmobiling in Grand Tee times. How cool would that be?
I don't know, I've never done snow anything, so it's pretty cool. That has to be awesome. I mean, well that's what I like when people are like I'm in I was in Colorado. I went to California then Colorado, and when I'm in the mountains and I'm like, dang, in like two months, it's gonna be covered in snow. Like I'm just looking around going people come here to ski.
It's like that's so awesome.
But I'm like, where do they ski? Because I've never been seed. I'm like, there's trees everywhere, like, where do you ski?
Do not see it? On the mountain? They kind of carve out a little like I never saw it.
You never saw the never saw it. And I was like, huh, it's interesting. And my wife's like, no, no, no, they don't. They cut out a little like you'll see and I'm like, so that's a ski lift thing. She goes, no, that's a power line. I'm like, oh, so I never saw a ski lift thing.
You may not have been close enough to like the ski area.
Well no, people like stay at the y mcam the Rockies to go skiing. But I'm like, where do you ski? I mean I guess they somewhere.
Yeah, yeah, you drive somewhere you can. I don't think you can ski in the Rockies.
But I haven't no idea. I don't know anything about skiing, so I didn't know. But keep going.
Yeah, No, that was good. So then we went from there and drove to Estes Park where we stayed, and we had our bear encounter. That was gonna be my sound of vacation.
What was your bear encounter?
Well, okay. So we got in late at ess Park, like ten pm, and we're unloading our car and my dad's like, Marien, you hear that there's some grunting going on. And I was like, I I don't know about that, Dad. There's like a river down there. I don't think that's grunting. And sure enough, like thirty minutes later, we're all loaded in and all of a sudden, we just hear this loud crash and we're like, okay, that's strange, but none of us like get up. My dad gets up and kind of looks around and see what's going on outside. And thirty minutes later I get a message from our airbnb hosts who are like, hey, you may have just heard this, but a bear knocked over the commercial trash case and that's outside of your's place. There's a bear on the property. We're not sure if it's still there, but just be bear aware.
And I'm like, I'll be bury aware.
Yeah, they say, very very careful, bear aware. And that was my bear encounter. I never got to freaking see another bear, but the bear knocked over.
Are And so you didn't see the bear, you, I heard it, and.
I wish I would have gone outside and looked for it. But probably a good thing I did it. Who knows. They were really close to us. But like lunch, this isn't like a regular trash bin. This is like a commercial grade trash bin that's metal that it knocked over on its side.
That's pretty cool.
And I had the picture of like the trash can that got knocked over, but that.
Was did you get did you see any bear prints, bear tracks?
We didn't see bear feces, bear scat. Yeah, that's why my digat.
Because my kids took a little class at the YMCA and they taught them all about the different animal scat. So everywhere we went there like oh, debta, oh that's a that's squirrel scat.
Guy, we're talking about pook your entire vacation.
That's deer scat. Oh wait, that's a that's moose scat. You know, they elk scat. They were I mean scat scot scots scat scat, and then they would go poop and they'd be like, dad, look at my scat. And they love the party. But then they learned about tracks, right and there in one of the in the classes at the YMC, the YMCA had everything. This Ymca the Rockies was fantastic for kids, and it was beautiful that it was kind of off season, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
It felt like it wasn't like packed.
No. No. So we go outside our cabin right and my kids said, oh my gosh, Dad, look at this track.
Let me see it.
You tell me what this is that was outside our cabin.
Well, that looks like a bearfoot.
That is a bear foot, that sure it does.
And that looks like a fresh one too.
Yeah.
So wait, did you guys want to see bears either that?
We didn't see a bear, but look at that footprint. I don't know, I mean that is a bear.
They're massive.
I mean it was like, holy crap.
Did you want to see one? Because I wanted to see a bear so bad. I tried so hard. I was looking everywhere. I really wanted to see a bear and we didn't. That was our only bear encounter.
Yeah, I mean, we didn't see any bear, but that was the one bear track we saw.
And I was like, you need this weekend. You need to post that your barefoot.
Okay, I will post it. I'm like, yo, was there a bear outside my cabin or was there a bear outside my cap?
Was you post your barefoot I'll post the trash can that the bear knocked over.
Yeah, And then I mean I almost got killed by the elk. I mean I talked about that, but it was that I have never my heart was beating so fast love that.
I love the encounters with wildlife like you get except.
When he's like me and him and he's like six to seven feet away and they tell me I'm supposed to be seventy five feet away from them.
And I mean yes, but like that's also purposely like if you can, if you have a choice, I understand that.
But if he decided to charge right then guess what. Yeah, I'm elk food.
But guess what you're story would be? Like you died from an elk.
That's not cool, Like, oh, you got too close to an elk. That's what the news story would be. And I'm like no, literally, I was just sitting out there and the elk came walking up to me and I was like, but it was awesome.
But they're so cool, Like it's so cool to see magical creatures like that just out in the wild living their life.
Yeah, and the reason, like, what's crazy is my kids like we want to do something where it wasn't just go see family because it was our first time ever doing that. Yeah, we're like, I don't know if we can do this. All right, cool? So we did it, and I'm going to save you the gross stories. You can go to the Sore Losers podcast and listen to the gross stories about human scat. Yeah, yeah, you don't need that on this. So I'm just telling you if you want to laugh about some human scat stories Sore Losers podcast from this past Wednesday. I mean, I go into detail about the things that were happening to our because we had a diarrhea bug.
Okay, you said you no, no.
But I'm just gonna That's all I'm saying, and then I'll tell you the stories that come along with that. Excellent. But we were just the YMCA Rocky is the only reason we chose there is our neighbors across the street. She had gone as a kid with her family and now she takes her kids there. Yes, and so we were like, okay, that sounds cool, you know, And then we happened to talk to another lady. My wife did talk to another She's like, oh my gosh, I've been there and our kids loved it. We're all right, let's go. So we went on a hay ride, like the horse carried in the hay and we went and they take us through the in the mountain and then we come to a fire pit and we roasted marshmallows. It said we were gonna make smores, but we just roasted marshmallows. There's no chocolate or Graham crackers, so marshallows marshmallows. So I don't know if that's their version of the s'more or I.
Think they just missed the rest of this.
Yeah, And so that was awesome, and it was great. We saw they had a roller skating rink. They had everything you could add, mini golf. I mean, it was just it was fantastic. And then we went into Denver for a few days and we went to the Zoo, Awesome Zoo, great Zoo. Went to the children's museum. Their children's museum is baller, I mean ballerrific. Let me show you the playground that they have at the freaking what is it called the Children's Museum.
You were in true dad mode and I love this for you.
No, no, look at that thing holy.
But like you realize you're showing to be pictures of a playground from your vacation.
No. No, the children the Children's Museum was legit, like they had climbing stuff, they had a fire truck inside. It was a nice museum. Loved it, except for the playground. My three year old he goes up and he's like, I want to go up on that, and she's like, oh, can you stand up next to Oh it looks like you need to grow this much before you're allowed up on that and get ready in three two one melt now City. Because my three year old is scared of nothing, and so he's like that I had to be a certain height I can climb up that. No problem was that.
His first like interaction with like not being tall.
Enough, first time ever not being tall enough, and it was like ouch, it hurt. It hurt. So yeah, so we had to do some adjusting and me and him had to go do play in the sand in the water and he got over it eventually, but yes, it was sad. And then we went to a Colorado Rockies game, their first major League baseball game. My five year old was into it. He had never heard of the Rockies before that night, but he was a diehard Rockies fan and it was awesome. So and we my aunt lives in Denver, so we saw her for a couple of nights and it.
Was great bit of family.
But I wouldn't rely like just go straight to us family member's house and just stay there the whole time. That we did a couple of nights there. At the end, as we came back into Denver, so do you.
Think moving forward, you guys might like stay with this.
So yeah, so we went and saw family in California. Then we did the Estes Park four days by ourself, and then a couple days in Denver with family. So it was you know what I mean. But we didn't go only to family where we just stayed there the whole time, because my wife wanted to go see her cousin in California. So it's like, all right, we'll go to California, go to the beach. And we went to the beach, a beach, her mountain, Oh mountain. Get the beach is stupid. The beach is stupid. I hate the beach. I don't get the beach. It's too hot.
It's the same way I don't want to just sit on the beach. You're gonna take me to the beach, like, take me out into.
The water to do something like you get sand all over you, sand all over your clothes, all over your shoes, all over everything. It's it's really weird. I don't know. But yeah, it was a great vacation. We had so much fun. And my kids, I mean, i'm gonna tell you what, we kicked their butts and they they didn't complain.
So rate your vacation. Give me a rating rating system?
Oh, i'd say an eight, eight out of ten.
Yeah, what's your your rating system?
Eight out of ten?
No, but like the eight out of ten?
What pikes eight out of ten, mountains out of eight out of ten, scat piles of scat eight out of ten, piles of scats. That's what I was looking about, Okay, I was like, what more? I was like, Okay, got it.
Okay, I give my out of ten out of ten, and I give it ten out of ten trash cans.
So no vacation could be better so far. That's no, no, no, But you're saying that is gonna be the greatest vacation of your life, because ten out of ten means nothing can top it.
Okay, fine, nine and a half out.
Of ten, Okay, see that's what I mean.
It was just awesome. I'm like, I just we saw so much and experience.
So much, and I guess you could have another vacation this ten out ten.
Just I was like, why are you putting that on me?
I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen in my life. I don't know, but for now, like truly, like I want to go back to I would live in Jackson Hall if I could, I would live in Jackson Hall.
You can. You can do whatever you want. You're a free woman. I can't do this show, but we can get a job in Jackson HOLEE.
Yeah, I don't know about that. It's pretty small town, that's true. Like I could ride.
We did drive through like we drew through, drove through Colorado. We went on some train. It was like some old train. It was like a train loop around a.
Mountain, and oh that's probably pretty.
It was cool, but it wasn't necessarily a loop. It was like we went up and literally came back down in the exact same way, so you saw the exact same thing. I thought we were going to go around the mountain, so we drove two hours to go do that. And I'm and we looked at it and we're like, you know, I would if you're in the area, you have some disposable income, because it was quite expensive, and you have a train like lover like kid lover or you get it. But otherwise now otherwise not really as cool as I thought.
But I mean it was all right, okay, what about your your hop through things from a vacation, well ended on that.
Oh, the wildlife, the mountains, No, like, give me a.
One to two and a three.
Oh for a second, no, I mean I don't even think. I don't really think about a lot of things. Number three, you see, my Aunt Judy was awesome. That was fun. Number two just the mountains were fantastic. And number one just the animals. The wildlife that we got to experience was super cool. Like right outside the cabin there was three deer and we just sat there and watched them nibble on grass for like thirty minutes. There was a baby deer and like a bug was getting on it like a fly, and it would jump around like a day and it's a dancing deer. It's a dancing deer and it did it over and over and over again. So we like had a dancing kind of deer outside of our window. It was it was really fun.
So the kids loved the wildlife.
And did I show you the big elk we saw?
Yeah, remember we compared elks. Oh, that's right, we showed out pictures. We both saw bull elks.
Yeah.
I think my top three. Number one would be the Tetons and Jackson Hole. That experience.
Yeah.
Number two would be seeing the wildlife and Lamar Valley and Yellowstone that was just insane because we're also there at sunset and that just there's nothing like it. And then three would be the bad Lands, okay, which is insane also did not look real.
Oh, in the weather, I got to put number four. The weather.
Oh it was great weather. It was like a little chilly in the morning and at night, but during the.
Day it was like, oh, it was like seventy five and then you wake up in the morning it was like forty five. It was like, this is awesome.
Yeah, so we were in the you could tell we were in the same area, were in the same weather.
Yeah, Like one day we set the alarm, and we went outside and watched the sunrise and it was like, wow, it is just peaceful.
Is that cool to watch like sunrise and sunset and areas like that that are so scenic.
Yeah, and like I had. I mean it was chilly enough where I was wearing pants and a jacket.
Yep.
It was like this is.
The shed layers during the day.
Yeah, oh sure for sure, for sure. So it was great, vacations great.
Oh when I need to add that, I gotta try all this huckleberry. Did you try anything huckleberry?
I don't know what that means.
It's really big in the mountains. It only grows in the mountains, and they can't mass produce it, like it can't be commercially grown. So it's really Huckleberry is a very big thing out there. I brought back like huckleberry vodka and like all these different huckleberry things.
Didn't any huggleberry. I don't think that was anesa spark. I think that may have been where you were. I saw it.
I saw spark as calm.
I was like, I didn't hear anybody talking about hey, I'll be your huckleberry.
It was up at the Alpine Tundra cafe that we talked about. You about that, Yeah, there's Huckleberry things in there for you to buy.
Oh didn't look, we don't buy stuff at gift shops. Kids. Try and I said, now, we don't need that crap. Get out.
Yeah, I feel like you guys would end up buying a whole lot of that exactly.
I'm like, they're looking at how Dad, I need this? Nope, they lived in one o Dad, can we get this snow globe?
No, they'd come back with everything.
Yeah. I was like, no, we don't buy crap.
Well, if you guys go back there, try some huckleberry.
That's what my wife was like, Oh, we got to go back next year. I'm like, why would we take the exact same vacation next year.
No, Well, if you go back in that area up in the mountains and maybe you go to Wyoming instead, get some huckleberry.
I'll be your huckleberry.
Don't do that. They probably think you're creepy. All right, Well, uh you can find me out.
