Well, this will have to because I have a meeting in twenty minutes.

I believe you, but I also don't.

I also don't believe in you. You're the one that talks too long, and it says too much singings, and you've got these tangents and these long stories and stuff. It's all your fault.

Feel a lot of projection there. It's fine until the kidding.

It's all my fault.

Hd h adhd thank you.

I was like, why is that not coming out right?

That's funny my quick speech, Like, I'd like, get to the point and I talk fast.

I don't know if you get to a point, but you do talk that.

I can get in like seven minutes of content one minute.

You can get to a point if you want to, yes, yeah, but mostly if I want to.

I don't want to, but I don't forget. I go on tangents and I bring it right back around.

I know. I want to say. Quick to a point is like the first thing I would say. But you do talk quickly, Yes, I do talk quickly.

I can also slow it down if you'd.

Like, No, please don't because people also listen to us on two time speed sometimes.

Oh my god, really, oh yeah that I'm hella fast. I'm like reading disclaimers over here in three minutes exactly. Go again. Everyone's missing their hands, but she's got two hands up in the air and she's like going wiki like she said she has like she has got two turntables in her stomach.

All right, anyways, that's what they do. That's what rapers do.

I've never seen that before.

I've never seen the robbers. They have their like hands and they're going they're like, yes.

Yeah, sure, I've seen like some sort of hand movements, but not what you did.

Just thank you for being kind and honest. We need more of that. Cyanne in California. All right, Scuba, Yo, apparently you've been negative these last few times on Best Bits? Are you okay?

Really? Who said that? Taylor thinks I've been negative? Is she even eat like concrete or specific?

I think you just might have been going through it a little bit.

Maybe I've been through a mushial roller coaster last year, so maybe, or maybe my anger could be seen as as the previous comment as honest or HG eight or hgh yet ghb.

Adhd good goodness my brain, good goodness, good golly, Miss Marley, oh my gosh. Okay, but you're okay?

Yeah yeah yeah. We go through some things and then we move forward and we keep going.

You feel good this week?

Yeah? I feel great? Yeah yeah yeah.

And also sometimes Scuba has so much on his plate that sometimes and I throw in best bits and it's just a lot.

Oh yeah, well I maybe in the middle of a ship storm and I'm like, oh my god. And it's not even directed towards anyone. It's just what I'm dealing with. Someone stupid Somewhere. I have to deal with their stupidity, and I hate it because I'm like, why are you so stupid? Why don't you why don't you walk the common sense?

Just respond say why are you so stupid?

Yes, sounds I have like in person if someone did something like are you really that stupid? And then I kind of like unchos no, because him and I have a different kind of relationship, or maybe I've called him out on some things, but never like you're so stupid. Like I feel like we have a very interesting special relationship that doesn't translate on air or anywhere else. Yeah, yes, I'll leave it at that.

Okay, Yeah, how did you get the nickname of Scuba Steve? This is from Christian.

Christian so the PPM friendly VERSI and I'll give you a shorthand version of it. Is. When I first started radio in Orlando, my name is Stephen and the movie Big Daddy was popular at the time. Adam Sandler film has the kids from Zack and Cody are in it. Yep, and there's a character in that named Scuba Steve. And so when I came into my first day of the job in Orlando at XCEL, when I was six seven, Orlando number one, he musicization Tervari's Orlando. This is XL one. I six seven. Johnny and Jay in the Morning was the morning show I worked for as an intern. And they always maybe it's still a thing, but well not really, there aren't interns anymore. But I was an intern and they were kind of like a frat type morning show, and they they give you a nickname, like what one a the other interns, his name was No Name, and.

My that would suck. That's worse than Morgan number two.

Yeah, they called him No Name, And so there was almost a battle between because I had been around a little bit longer. And then No Name came in and I hated him for no reason because he got a little bit of attention. I was like, what the hell did up in here? Forever? And I worked what off? And so No Name didn't even last like I like purposely made it might have been debted to like get rid of him, and I think it was writing was on the wall because it had no name.

There are somethings you shouldn't admit to.

Well, this is like two thousand and five or whatever, different back then.

What is it the period of when you when you no longer give me in trouble for something?

Yeah? Period yeah, yeah, yeah, statutory law or whatever.

Limits yeah yeah, limit, that's not it.

Must limitation, yes, exactly that.

Yeah.

So yeah. I came in first day and they're like Scuba Steve, damn you. And I was like, oh, it's a cool movie. Because I know that's your name. I was like, oh okay. And then so that may that was my nickname in Orlando, and then I moved to San Francisco and then they loved that nickname, so I stayed with it. And I moved to Los Angeles and Ryan Seacrest loved it, and I was like, okay, well, if Ryan loves it, then I'm gonna stick with it. And then I moved here to Nashville. It's like maybe I'll change my name. And then Bobby loved it. I was like, okay, well, bite, this is the thing.

So thought Nashville could be your new I did it, my new.

Identity, a whole new place, whole knew everything. And then Bobby's like, no, dude, it's great branding. People already know you from it, and it kind of sticks, and it's you know, it's memorable, and I guess I like it.

Scoob Scuba, I think he should be Scoobs.

Scoobs, Yeah exactly. I saw you put that in the questions.

I always refer to you with scoobs.

And the only person ever do that aside from you was a guy named Don Blue in San Francisco who's like an OG radio guy, and he would always call me Scoopers or Scoobs or scubas.

Oh, I like scoobers.

Yeah.

Scoobers is like goobers.

Yeah exactly.

Yeah, I like that one.

So that's kind of like the quick Can version of it.

Yeah, Scuba, Steve, shout out, big Daddy, how's the writing coming, James in New York?

Shut your mouth, James in New York, shut your whole damn mouth, and go back to where he came from.

Okay, let me switch scares her because we didn't ask this in the in the live stream and I said that, asked this weekend, Uh, any scream o music update? Are you doing anything with that?

No? I will, though at some point I can't say anything right now, but I will be doing something with it.

Oh okay, I didn't know this.

Yes, I had the whole Hearty thing, which I thought was going to go somewhere, but then we talked about how party and then Hardy and then I don't know, something like that kind of ruined that for me. Yeah, I was not a fan of that at all. So yeah, I don't even remember how that'll happen. But I was like, this is stupid. Okay, this is so dumb. Why are we even doing this? What the hell? What's the point for adults here? Let's move on? Well, holding on, I don't even what's going on.

Was wrong something with your scream music voice? Something could be happening.

Yes, yeah, within the within months, okay, all right, by the next time we're on best Bits, you'll probably.

Know heck, yeah that's exciting.

Yeah, it's really exciting.

Yeah, okay, you got smile on so and not.

Bad exact would be a bad thing.

Yeah, we got like sued for something, you know.

Yeah, I started doing tell ourself songs that you got pissed and sued.

Me something like that, you know, resurfaced.

Yeah. Yeah.

What is the most difficult part of your job? Devin from Missouri.

I think the most annoying part of my job is emails.

This should have been an email. This should have been an email. But do you know the like thing where it's like you do all these meetings, you're like, this could have been any exact.

Which is a lot of the meetings, like, really, we have a meeting for this.

But your version is this didn't need to be an email.

Sending to me an email or just like I think just the culture that we're in. Emails are a very crucial part of what we do, and it's a form of communication. But what's really annoying I just got one of these ten minutes before we started this is our company is trying to form another form of communication within communication. So we already have text messages, which is like the immediate like if you need me, text me, if it's super important, call whatever, and emails are like a way to do most things and it's not like you know, but then Microsoft teams.

Everybody loves teams, but our team of the show has never used Microsoft Teams.

No, we do it from meetings, like if we have a because we don't do zoom in our company, we do the team's calls. Get I understand, But if you're going to fin hit me up, just send me an email. You're gonna they're chatting with me on Microsoft Teams and I don't ever chat on there, and so I get I got one right now, just came through. And the only reason I know about it is because I get an email from Microsoft Teams letting me know that I've got to chat somebody in Microsoft Teams. Why don't you just freaking email me?

That's fine, that's how mine?

Are you kidd me? GM Scuba, Good morning Scuba. Just send me the email? What is it?

I think it's because most of our company use teams, we're the only ones who don't.

Well, then get rid of email, blow it up, remove it. Why why have two different avenues? And then why am I gonna get a freaking email about a team's chat? Just hit me up an email? Are you kidding me? Dude?

I think they probably assume you use teams because I don't. Else does, and.

I've never responded to you ever on teams, because then I'll go through some of these ones and they've hit me up like seventeen times and I've never once responded. So then send me an email like everyone else does.

It is funny that we have multiple lines of communications.

Oh my god, it's stupid. Then they're like, then it muddies everything out, and then people like I didn't get whatever, it's because you didn't email me. Everyone's been emailing me for five years, while all of a sudden, now you got a teams me and then I get an email from teams. Tell me who teams me?

Well? And also it's probably because new people come in and then they upon new trying to help out.

So I get the teams says so so and so hit you in teams and I go like this, I go, I go delete. So I never got it.

It's now just your you're really standing in your crowd.

Oh you need me, bro, you send me a freaking email. Okay, like everyone else has been doing. You need tubes an email, Send me an email now. The only one person that I will reach out to if I see the team's email coming through is my boss because she can do whatever she wants because she I respect the crab out of heard she bathed my bills, and if she wants to tease me, all teams are back. Everyone else can kick rocks. That's the only one, the only one who can teams me. I still don't respond around teams, though, I respond around email because that's oh, she teams me all the time. I'm just kidding.

Somebody else is going to hear that and be like, what.

He's getting me? Holy crab dude. But yeah, but I still respond her an email that I don't. Teams are back.

Okay, Yeah, we're hope she's not mad though before she ever keeps going down this rabbit dudes, if why did I know that was coming? And you know what, we got a big laugh out of Gooodby okay at his own chow.

Who wanted the big laugh?

I don't even know.

You got a big laugh wherever you are. Let's let's send to Michelle apple Valley because I like her.

Okay, if you could trade jobs with anyone else from the show, who would it be? Abby in Tennessee lunchbox.

Because he gets to do it with the hell he wants and his life is so cush and so easy. Do you get that email? Now I haven't got a new all CD to download my email, to check your email. All on a second, get off the phone. I'm going on the internet. I want his job, good God, and his paycheck, the whole thing, the whole thing to be able to just check out.

It can also be outrageous. That's so I'm lunch Spatch's job. I couldn't do.

I don't mind that either.

I do I feel too uncomfortable.

I don't mind they That was my character a long time ago in San Francisco was I used to go out on the streets and my old host JV were like, Hey, go around ask people like what their favorite color is, and then once they tell you the answer, just hit them below the belt with some like stupid thing like hey, you're an idiot, or like whatever to I get a reaction out of them. And I was like, oh my god, you want to go do whatever? And I used to get like in physical not physical but like verbal arguments of people.

Nightmare.

Oh my god. Yeah, he had me run naked across you didn't square one time for those thousand dollars. I was like, we while for nine pays your bills and we were the one show within the whole company that made these videos. They got like millions of views on Facebook and vine divine a lot, and we were the first ones to do periscope. And then I heard Corporate in New York was like, these these periscope videos are amazing.

I was definitely thinking of periscope.

Yes, I was just rolling with you on it. But yeah, they were like, hey, so we're setting an appointment every Friday at X time. You guys are gonna go live on periscope on iHeart Radio's periscope. And so we did a bit every week and it was like this thing, but I was always at my expense of some way.

See you could do it. Yeah that makes sense.

No, no, not different. Now I'm a different person. I've got kids, my job, I've melt it out. I don't want your job. I hate social media, I hate the Internet. No way.

What does an ideal day off or look like Patricia from North Carolina.

You would think sleeping in, But I really don't sleep in, So I mean sleeping in for me would be like getting about six, six thirty maybe seven.

So I guess, dude, No, if you don't set an alarm for me, I will sleep until two pm at least. Oh my god, my body loves sleep, and my dog would love me. She'd sleep the whole day with me.

Really okay, ye see, I feel like I missed out on the whole day. I miss out on things.

And oh you do. Yeah if I don't set alarm, Yeah we can. Even if I don't have to be up, I have to set alarm at like nine or ten am to cap me.

Damn.

Okay, I'm sleeping in.

Well, even like, even if we were to go out the night before, you would think, oh, we got home like midnight for sure, going to sleep into like nine or ten. Nope, we're up at six thirty seven o'clock.

Still, that feels like a dad internal alarm clock.

That and because the kids are there, and you're like, yeah, I gotta be up because the kids are awake and I don't want to do anything stupid and hurt themselves.

Yeah.

So yeah, but even before kids, I still would get up really really early.

Are your early guy?

I guess I've just been an early guy for a long for a really long time. It goes back to I think I would say before radio, I was in landscaping and we'd have to get up super early and get to the shop by like six, which meant you have to get up like four, in shower and get ready. So I've been a morning person for god knows how long.

Yeah, it's been a really long time. See Okay, so you'd sleeping a little bit, sleeping.

A little bit, hang out with the kids, no rush, and leave the house around like eight ish, eight thirty. Go get some coffee from like sip or Osa ooh Osa. I know I told you about sip before, but Osa is another one that we discovered a couple of years ago that has a very similar vibe of like good coffee. And you wouldn't like this because it's like a ham and cheese Croissan. But there's this ham and mustard and I think I Swiss cheese in it. Oh, it's so damn good.

The croissant's good though, because Paris ruined me.

All this stuff is amazing. Well, if he went to Paris, you're not gonna like anything here, so I'm sure. Yeah. It's like were talking earlier about sour dough, and I was like, San Francisco roomy with sour dough because everwhere else sucks.

See that stuff sucks. It's cool because you have it at once one point in your life, but then you're ruined for the rest of your life.

Totally nothing you can compete with that ever, again, no, does your boyfriend eat me? Yeah, well then he would like that, so like if he likes that, then I think he would love the ham mustard Swiss croissana Osa. Okay, they have one of her by our old studios. It was really close to it, like near BMG. And then had the one I go to is on Gallaton East Nashville area.

Okay Oosa.

Yeah, we get coffee and then we would do with something like I'll go to Walmart or go somewhere and get some things, go to the park with the kids, go back to the house early. Like we like to get back of the house at like twelve one o'clock and just spend the rest of the day at the house, hanging out outside playing. My kids are in a Harry Potter and Star Wars.

Oh that's so fun, espelling.

So we have like we have I have from when the Dumbledore movie came out.

Whatever it was, the That's a Beast, yes, yes.

Yes, so I had the sword when I sword, but a wand a Dumbledore's wand that I got from from Warner Brothers.

Wait, we both have Dumbledore's wand.

Well you have it too, yeah? Oh yeah, I got it from the one I chose.

Yeah.

Yeah, so they oh you got yours a universal right.

Yeah, walk into the shop and then you choose which one you.

Want Ollivanders Yeah yeah. But mine was like like a movie you know, they get those boxes for promotions.

Yeah.

So when I was working with Ryan back in LA we used to get like some awesome box like here we get country music ones whatever, but the LA ones are cool because they're always movie related, TV related. And we used to get some sick boxes and one of them was Fantastic Beasts and it came with like a bag and all that stuff. But one of them was the WAND and I had just had my son. I was like, oh my god, I can't wait to give to this to him one day. And then just yesterday he was like he was playing with we were playing with chop Stix as ones, and I was like, oh crap, I have a real wand he's like a real wand with like magic powers. I don't know, dude, but how strong imagination is. And I couldn't find it for like an hour, and then my wife's like, it's in your box of all your crap, and I was like, oh, yeah, it is in there, and we found it and then busted out. He's been playing with Dumbledore's wand for the last couple of days and it's been blowing his mind.

I love that so much.

It's so much fun. And then we do we do Star Wars fights because we went to Disneyland last year. We both got light Sabers, yeah, and so we always do like Lightsabers and he does he remembers all the scenes like he does he does Luke Skywalker, and I'll usually play like Darth Moule or Darth Vader or something, and he's like a really good like fighter and he knows he does all the scenes and knows all the lions.

He's gonna be one. He's gonna be partnered with Anakin for sure.

It's so cool. Anakin was awesome the first couple of movies.

I know, but then he was dark and turns into Darth Vader.

Sometimes that happens, you know. But then at the very end of his life he kind of came back.

To At no point did he come back to because yeh at.

The end, but when he's Darth Vader and he was like, he saved his son, remember, because the Lord Sith was trying to electrocute him and kill him, and Darth Vader came up behind him and picked him up and threw him over.

Yeah, but not before he passed down his dark juices to somebody else I know.

But he saved the sun though, and he lost his hand in it, or robotic hand, and then he took us ever took his head off with and he goes, Dad, I'm gonna save You're gonna take you. He's like, you've already saved me because he you know, I gave him.

Yeah, I know what it is. But like the new movie, he throws me off because then like oh yeah, yeah, he passed down worse.

Yeah yeah, and well here's what we have an audio shut that's that's both of them doing it like back and forth.

Expelling Office is one of the best ones.

Yeah, they only know like two expelling Honus Beckford throwns and then they gent got whatever is Gwen Guardian Levosa gonna say it's Levosa.

Exactly many grange job I make I always reference that do you know the chest scene, the big chest scene where it's like not me.

You yeah, yeah, yeah, So it would do that. We'll hang on and we grow out and make some steaks or something and then just kind of like chill and then we go inside, just hang in and go to bed early.

I love that. That does sound like a good day, awesome day. I want to hang out with you, guys. I would have lightsabervides, bring your one. I will I have the probably the baby doubles for one car New York. Oh man, all right, we're jumping out of here skiving. Thanks for being here and hanging out until can find.

That was really timely, Morgan. I'm so proud of you for keeping it.

I cut off two questions. Favorite way to consume the green stuff from Jose.

I like to do it naturally, which is the flower. Edibles are fine if like on about doing things with a concert, but my absolute best way to do it is flower. If I can now that my father is smoking the blonde too much, so I just smoke a ball, okay.

And then Kevin, the one who edits best bits wrote in one he said, as a dad of three head, does he have any good advice for a new dad.

Forud, I already told him, Kevin, you already know. Okay, well I'll tell for everyone else baby wives scam because the baby wives are also made by the same people who make the freaking butt paste for all of that apparations and stuff. The only way to really truly make sure my baby has diaper rash because you're using those alcohol wipes and they're creating a rash on your skin. Imagine taking those alcohol wipes and rubbing in your skin. It drives it off, makes it red and whatever. But now you're doing all the body parts that are down there, and then you put a diaper on and it holds that moisture of alcohol on the skin, and then it gets a rash. You get it clean, and then you have to then buy the freaking paste that gets the diper rash off. It's a cycle. It's an endless cycle of corporate America getting to buy their crap.

The only way cycles everything's.

The only way to do it is go back and think about, oh my god, what if we just use water to clean it, Oh my god, and then wipe it down the towel, Oh my gosh, and then put the dipern that's the way to do it. You don't use baby wipes or crap unless you're out and about. I get it. You have to use baby wipes. That's when I say use water wipese put nine percent water. Those are better.

Couldn't use water types every time?

Then you could, but it's still not good because you're using a rough thing on the skin. So if you're at home or you're at someone's house or whatever. We used to take our kids, hold their legs up, put on night to saying, s pee easy, poop, little mess here. But at least you get all the poop off and you know how to use forty five wipes and buy more wipes and then do the whole cycle.

Go friendly.

That way too Morico friendly. And I only started doing it because I used to use wipes when I was a kid, helped my little sister and watching them my siblings because we're white. But my wife is Asian and their culture they use tabo are like basically a cup of water, and that's how she cleans herself, and so she's like, yeah, don't use baby wipe's is stupid. Just use water. Oh my god, it makes total sense. And I'm not putting one down because we don't know until we learn from somebody else. But I'm like, oh my god, it makes so much sense. Just use water and there's no irritation ever.

Hey pro dad shout.

My kids never had diperation until they went to daycare and they screwed it up.

A dang daycare.

All right.
