Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part one
behind with a member of the show What's Up Everybody?
Happy Weekend? Abby is joining me this weekend on Best Bits.
What's up Abby? What's up? Well, we did have quite
the scare this week. There's crazy storms and my god,
(00:21):
I think you and I may have brought tornado Alley
with us to Kansas. From Kansas to Tennessee. I think
we did, yeah, because tell me why just in the
last you know, seven years, we've been having tornadoes here,
but like then, we've been having tornadoes our whole lives
in Kansas, and.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yet the more he yes, I feel like there has
been more here. Yeah, but I also feel like here
people are more scared or they're just like unsure because
it doesn't happen. It's often here.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, they don't know what to do, they don't know
how to prepare. Like I was literally texting my neighbors
and I was like, get in your shelter, and they're
like we'll watching them, like no, no, no, get in
your shelter. And they're like, well, and I like will
teach everybody what they have to have them and like
have harnesses on your animals, make sure if they move
a lot, like have them in some form of a cage,
like my cat's in her little backpack, and I have
(01:08):
shoes on, I have clothes on, My wallet's in there,
Like you have to be prepared in the one chance
that something really bad is about to happen, even though
ninety percent of the time it's not, you have to
be prepared for that ten percent that it could, right,
And everybody always looks at me like I have ten
heads When I say that, I'm like, no, no, no,
(01:28):
Like when if I like last night before I had
gone to bed and this all happened, and I knew
it was gonna happen overnight. My pantry, which is where
my little inside room is I which is underneath our
little staircase because structure is really good, no windows, but
I had put in cushions in there. I put all
of the animals stuff that they needed, pairs of shoes.
(01:49):
I had my phone, I had my wallet, I had
everything I needed in case something were to happen. And
it did at two or three am, come freaking loudly
believing it was like get in your shelter, and I'm
like rolling out of bed. I'm like trying to pick
Russell Hazel and I'm like, get in here.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's so crazy because I did I stay in bed,
I just stay asleep.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, it's really bad.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Why do you do that? I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I think it's me growing up. I just am like,
what's going to happen is going to happen, which is
really bad.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I don't know, like averse of each other, Like
I grew up with it, So I'm like, i know
what this is going to look like and I'm prepared
for it. Yes, you grew up in it, and you're like,
I know what this is going to look like and
it's fine.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I put it in God's hands.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That is so bad. Yeah, you have to with your boyfriend.
Does he panic at all?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Or like?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Is he prepared?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Here's the thing. I was at my house when so
I was alone, okay during it? Yeah, so I mean
he is prepared. And he was like yeah, probably texting
and calling you being like are you awake? Are you
basically yeah, but I was like, oh my god, I
was actually scared. I was scared. I was like, why
am I here alone? Right now? I know, but I
(03:07):
rifing feelings, I know.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And you have to like you're about to face potentially
something really bad, like by yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Gary, it was, And it was just like three in
the morning and your phone's going off. You hear tornado sirens,
and you're just like, oh, what do I do? But
then I just stayed in bed.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You got paralyzed by the fear, just like I'm just
gonna stay here.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Because I think the best for me would be like
downstairs in the bathroom. Yeah, by the toilet, that would
be mine.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You were upstairs and no room with windows. All right, Kansas, girl,
we know better than this.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
We know why with.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Wizard of oz Man and Twister that is true.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You know what's crazy is I'm like one of the
most anxious people I know, Like I take anti anxiety meds,
but when it comes to stuff like that, like mother
nature stuff, I'm just like, there's not much I can do.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Like they're literally so many you can do. I'm shocked
You're gonna take precautions, but yeah, and like you can
be alive. What if mine now it takes everything else?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
What if my house collapse? If I'm in that bathroom
and the whole floor they're like the washer and dryer
is above that bathroom just falls on me.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, that's also why you're supposed to have a helmet on.
That's why I had cushions to have on top of
my head.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That they say to put like your mattress.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh yeah, like I had my couch cushions, like the
very like sturdy ones ready to go. You can at
least attempt to save your own mind, and you can't.
There's a benefit in that, Oh my goodness, Abby. Beyond that, though,
it was so crazy? Is every what was wild about
this last one? We had more tornado watches and warnings
(04:49):
happening in the span of such a short amount of time.
It was like one tornado warning would expire and then
twenty minutes later, here comes another one, here comes another one.
I think in total I got three or four tornado
warnings themselves, and then like eight phone calls, ten text messages.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah me too. And that's the thing. It's like when
they oversaturate it, then you just start being like kind
of overwhelmed because you're like, well, what part of Nashville
is that it is?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Is it west east? This is where you watch nash severe.
They're so good at telling you. Like I would watch them,
I'd get my notification, I'd turn them on, and I'd
start preparing myself like okay, we got to move. And
then they'd be like, okay, we see rotation in the radar,
but we don't see anything on the ground, and I'm like, okay,
we can calm down, but we should still start heading
that direction.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They are the best. They are good, so good at
what they do. It is insane, like watching on Twitter
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, Like I use the notifications from the government, but
that's all I get, like everything else on Like Nashal,
I trust whatever you're saying.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, they're there on top of it, like by the second, whereas,
like you said, the sirens they were going off.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Thirty minutes after. I'm like, what good would that have done?
I know, even those guys on that live streamer being like, well,
you guys have to remember these sirens are from like
an older time. They're not quite equipped for today. And
I'm like, I get that, but why can't we equipped
them to be for today? Because most people, especially your
(06:18):
older generation, aren't really on technology. They're not watching this.
And if you lose power and you don't have your
cable to watch the news that maybe you potentially do,
and you don't have a smartphone, how you're never gonna know.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Mm hmmm. I know. No, that is so true because
I think, did you lose power at one point? Yes, yes,
I did too, And I think that turned my alarm
off because I have my legs. Well, I don't want
to say it's gonna make everybody's go a word. I
had her set my two alarms and I always do
didn't go off, so I got up an hour later
than I usually. It was bad. I was like scrambling
makeup on it's It was a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, I think a lot of people lost power.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It was such a wow moment.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It is. I feel for people that were like really
affected and like the there's flooding and flooding.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I know, much much worse happened in other areas than
when we got We kind of got lucky in what
did happen. We never had the tornadoes on the ground,
but from wherever it came from, it did cause devastation
in a lot of places. And that's what's just so
scary about tornadoes. Like, I don't know, everybody always thinks
(07:27):
I'm so cool, calm and collected when it comes to tornadoes,
I'm like, no, I'm prepared, like I grew up with this.
I've been in them, I've heard them, I've been around
them a lot. I know what they're like, and they
are terrifying when they happen. And I've also seen the
destruction in multiple towns when it happens, Like I've been
part of pickup crews and news cruise when these massive
(07:48):
devastation is hit and what they can do is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh in a matter of seconds, yeah, in the.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Sound of them the train coming. Yeah, that cost me
for life, I know. But Abby's overcreous, something wrong with me.
We you know, we should probably work on your preparation plan.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yes, let's work on that.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
We can do that. We can work on preparation plans.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That is one thing. Like my boyfriend, he's like, you
never want to plan ahead for anything? I like he
loves to plan. Like he's like, Okay, what do you
want to do next Saturday? I'm like, I don't even
know what we're going to do tomorrow. What do you
mean next Saturday? So, yes, this is also that coming
out that just like me planning I just I live
in the moment, which.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is living in the moment is not a bad thing.
And you know, sometimes you need a mix of both
of you guys, or you need a mix of both
of those things to make your relationship happen and work
in the best way. Yeah, Because if you just want
to plan things all the time, you're never gonna have
any spontaneity. You're never gonna have like moments where like,
oh well let's change courses here and try this something new.
(08:54):
M you get in a monotony like kind of routine
of things right, but never having plan also.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
For emergencies, that's here not a good thing. Yeah, yeah, okay,
thanks for opening my eyes. We're gonna go do some
emergency planning right now.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And it doesn't have to be a lot like you
hear mine, I have like five things that I throw
in there, and I'm like whatever, as long as I
have my wallet, I can go and buy things, and
as long as I have my animals, everything else doesn't matter.
And I have clothes on my mama, body, shoes on
my feet. We're golden. That's all that matters. Like, I
don't make it a whole thing because to unfortunately here,
(09:32):
which that's why I loved Kansas. They have freaking basements,
right they don't.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, we would just go down to the basement, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh yeah, we just sleep. We'd literally fall asleep in
the basement and was like, okay, wake us up when
it's over. But here, I'm like, okay, go downstairs, get
in the pantry. Okay, out of the pantry, back in bed, Okay,
back downstairs.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I know. That was like one of the craziest things
when I first moved here, I'm like, people do not
have basements.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
This is wild. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I was in one basement one time, like one of
my friends. They were like running a house and I
was like, I've never seen this in Tennessee. We're going downstairs,
going down into the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That weird is It's so weird. Okay, well those are
our weather. Weather situations from two Kansas girl.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, no sleep and if you're sleep.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
If you like Abby, please have a plan.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I know, please make I was like, Hey, shout out
to people like me, but that's not good. That's not
going to be that way.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Whether it's tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, everything, you should have a
plan for whatever area you're in.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I have a fire extinguisher house.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's all that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
A flash light.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's the only thing we're prepared for. Do you have
lights in case your power goes out?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah? I do, Okay, Yeah, I have a really bright
flash light. Yeah, okay, but I need to go. Oh,
I have a lantern one too, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I have the lantern ones. I have like multiple of them.
They came in like a four pack or something for
me Amazon. I just placed them everywhere.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The other thing though, that I always think about is
like your phone, if it dies and you don't have electricity,
do you have like a backup charge or a charge
it with?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yep. I always keep my portable battery charged, so that
does come in there with me.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You you're so you're so prepared.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Stop uh huh? I am. I am an organized lady.
I love my organization and I love my preparedness.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I'm a chaotic lady. I'm like, I was going to
bed so late from working. I'm just like, I'm so tired,
I'm gonna go to sleep. It was it was a lot,
but it's okay.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I just worry about you, like next time this happens.
Now that I know this about you, I'm gonna call
you and get and be like, get in the shelter.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I already I did that with like both of my neighbors.
I was like, you guys up, is everybody good getting
your shelters?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, I'm made to that. I made the list.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, I'll add you. Trust me. I was right, and
I was texting another one of my friends. I was
in a different area. I'm all about, like, I'll help
you get out of bed.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, usually the Bobby Bone Show, like group chat, you
usually are like, hey, is everybody good?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know? I know, but we all are also in
so many different places. But you and I are near
each other, so I can make sure I'm always checking
on you. I'll add you to my my side of
town checklist. So you're like, hey, we got over here.
So I got you, Okay, I got your back.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
all right. So you went to San Diego recently? You
and your boyfriend went on a trip. How was it?
What happened?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
So fun? So he used to live in San Diego
for like ten years. He was in the navy. Wow,
he was stationed out there and like some of his
best friends he hasn't seen in like four years, lived there.
So we stayed with a really fun couple of his
and we just did everything. They liked to drink, so
we went out a lot. But yeah, we took the
(12:41):
not the trolley but the ferry like over to Coronado. Yeah,
and there's like a really nice hotel there. It's like
the Hotel Dell or something, and it's like haunted. Like
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Really nice, but yeah, like pugi, like you pay really
expensive price, but it's haunted.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It's really nice. Yeah, but apparently two guests that were
staying there, like it was like a man and her
his wife, and he like murdered her or something like
at the hotel and so apparently that room that she
stayed in is haunted. That's like the theory or whatever.
But it's really pretty and really nice there. So we
rode bikes around the island.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's so fun. It was really fun. What was your favorite,
like top three favorite things from the trip.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, top five favorite things. Well, definitely like the fairy
that was awesome, the faery ride.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Have you ever been on a ferry?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
M hm okay I did in North Carolina. We went
on one there too. What else I just loved like
seeing the local places. You know how Nashville has like
twelve South and like all these cute little areas. That's
what I love seeing, like the local perspective when you
go places. So just like seeing we went. I got
this really good coffee. What was the name of it?
I forget the name of the coffee shop, but it
(13:49):
was so good. I love my coffee.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You do love your coffee.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So I'm like, that's the first thing I have to
do is we're like, Okay, let's go get coffee, local coffee,
not Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You're like me with coffee. I'm like that with donuts,
Like I always have to try the local donuts.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, I never get donuts, like you know, they don't
co operate with that stomach.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But that's your thing though. It is like you have
to try the local coffee shops. I'm like, Okay, what's
what's there? Because I've been to so many different places.
They have all kinds of donuts and their specialties. You
have potato donuts. I've had, Oh my gosh. I wish
I could tell you, like the list of like random
things that people come up with. But they're so fun
to try local spots.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh I bet yeah, like that you never even you're like, wait,
that's even a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, like what is this?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay, So we got coffee, we got the faery, and
then Coronado and then we ran because we're both doing
the half marathons.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We were going to train there.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh, you guys are gonna do it together. Yeah, that's
so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I know we did last year and he stayed with me.
But this year I think he's like faster somehow, he's
actually training more. But it's gonna be like a competition now.
But we ran and we ran by Balboa Park. It's
like the prettiest park I've ever seen. I don't know
if you've heard of that. I have heard of.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It sounds familiar.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It was so beautiful. But we did like six miles
and just like ran all over and that was really fun.
Like the weather was nice.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You guys are so cute, you little runners.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, I know all the other guys who.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Exercised on vacation. Oh my gosh, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But yeah, we only got one in because the next
day we were not well from the drinking. Yeah, you're like,
I can't do it you.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Go like full on clubbing or were you just drinking
in fun places?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Just drinking at fun places, and then we would come
back and like dance. They turned on music and we
were just like dancing. I got like the funniest videos
because they hadn't seen each other for four years, so
they were like catching up and I was just kind
of like watching the moment.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I'm here for the vibes.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, and I actually had to like go to bed.
I felt like such. It was like two when I
was tired. They stayed up till like four. I'm like,
oh my gosh, you so not like you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I know, you're normally the rager.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I know, so they're gonna be like, oh, she's really boring.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
She only stayed up until two eights, I know, but
like California, that means it's four am in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, you know. I was like, oh my gosh, I
was really tired, but it was super fun.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I just had three of my oldest girlfriends, like oldest
friends ship like over fifteen years, not like they're old.
I don't know if I said that correctly. My brain
is fried running on one hour of sleep. They just
came and visited me. We always do, like once a year,
we always do trip where we all get together, and
this year they just wanted to come to Nashville and
(16:22):
so fun. Oh my gosh, Abby gets so much fun.
We had it blast. But I was the same way.
I literally we were at a bar at one point
in the weekend and I was like, I'm just gonna
lay down right here. I wasn't even drunk. I was
so tired. I was like, I need sleep. And then
I got a second win somehow. They're like, Okay, get up,
we're gonna go. We're gonna go dancing party. And I'm
like and we kept moving that night. We were out
(16:45):
till three am. Wow, so you did manage. But man,
I'm still in recovery from that. I mean this that
was this past weekend and I am still And then
the tornadoes. I'm like, dude, this weekend, I am sleeping
all weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Don't talk to me as you guys do.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
So I took them to a bunch. I'm gonna like
run through our r itinerary because I know so many
people come and visit Nashville and they're always like, what
do we do. Where do we see? And I feel
like I put together just prime itinerary for them coming,
like I'm going to show you this. Dang, I'm getting another.
I'm literally getting a call you are from Metro government
right now to tell me I'm sure about the flash
flood warning.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh I didn't get that. I got a text though.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Oh, I'm bet I'll get a text too, Like, yep,
I did. Texts just came through. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I signed up for every I did too after the
last one. Yeah, because I didn't get anything, well, I did.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It either, and because they clearly the sirens are not
on time. I know. Okay, let me pull this up
real quick. I'm just gonna run through this really quick.
So they got in Thursday and we went and made
bracelets at Little Words Projects together everybody. I may one
that said, uh, what was it? Fir mom with a
little popprint and on my like my esthetic brown and
(17:54):
black of their colors. And so we did that first,
and we walked around Fifth and Broadway downtown. They really
wanted to see Morgan Wallan's bar, so we stopped in there.
I ate some really bombed mac and cheese bites from
his bar at the bar okay, because I needed a
little snack. I had been coming off at work and
I met up with them and I'm like, okay, we're
on Broadway on a Thursday.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Here I go, Here we go. I gotta get some
food literally.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So we did that, and then that night we had
dinner at the Henry in twelve South, which loved, love,
love love. This is where I saw Reese Witherspoon and
I like geeked out, and they were geeking out.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I would die. I love her, She'd be too cute.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And they so badly wanted to like talk to her
and said, oh, these guys, we can't, we can't, we can't.
I want to, but we can't.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Did you say.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
She was with her family, her kids, and they were eating.
They did take a video of one of the girls
walking out and she like walks behind her and I
was mortified, Oh, like, we can't do that, guys, we
can't do that. I know she's gonna see yes. And
then we went and got drinks at the Blind Barber,
which is a cocktail bar, which hilarious though. So we
walk into this place, super cute, cool bar, and nobody's
(18:56):
in there. But I just opened, I'm like, okay, I'm
missing something, and within like fifteen minutes, just a swarm
of college kids come in. We were in the middle
of a fraternity sorority mixer.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
They had rented out the freakin' bar, but they still
let other people in.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Apparently we had a literal reservation at this bar.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
They're like, don't mind the walk in party that's coming in.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
No, they said it was a birthday party, and we're like, okay,
birthday party. Oh, we got bamboozled. So then these freaking
little college kids are coming up to us and we're like.

one of them's like, listen, I'm gonna need you to
come to my formal with me down in Savannah, and
I'm like, sir, that is a whole other life for me.

ninety nine percent sure. He was barely twenty one? Barely?
Oh yeah, I got a fake barely, Like not sure
how and where? What? Why? But that's what happened. And
so we're sitting there on My friends are eating this up.
They're like, yes, you should go. You always do stuff
(20:15):
for the plot. Morgan, I'm like, this is a plot
that feels very wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah. Sound, I don't know if that got in.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well. I love a free trip as much as the
next person, but this is not one of those that
I'm gonna walk down.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
So that was Thursday Night Wild Experience. Yeah, would you
have gone? Would you got? Would you have Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay, maybe I was single.
Speaker 1 (20:36):

for the plot.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
No, that'd be weird. That's just weird, I know, right, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
So then they went and got some yummy food while
I was at work, and we ended up having dinner
at We ended up that afternoon we had a little
like spa day at Escape day Spot, got some facials,
got some massages. It was so fun. I needed that desperately.
You need a spot I right go to this place.
(21:05):
It's like full spa mode, is it. Yeah? And I
have a hilarious steam room story that I'm gonna prep
for the big show. Okay next week sometime. Yeah, you're
gonna die hilarious. Oh no, no, it's hilarious. Okay, it's funny.
And then we went and had dinner at Polado, which
is like one of my favorite Italian spots in town.
Tapa's never been you have a man now? Oh my gosh.
(21:28):
So Radiatory vodka is to die for. Well, it's my
favorite in town. It's like a radiatory. Oh and it's
a vodka sauce. It's my favorite in town. They have
my number one Pops edition in town. And then Coco's
Italian Kitchen has my favorite. It's like a tortellini blush pasta.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
My gosh, you have all see you have all the suggestions.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
See this is why I'm like, I'm running through this
because I always get asked. And then we went and
got drinks at where did we go after Polado? Because
what I have on here is not what we did.
Oh you changed, I think we went. That was the
night we went to Skinny Dennis, and I told you
I need you to go because it's gonna be your
new favorite bar. It's like country meets dive bar.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I looked it up and someone else I know, like
posted it. It was like a coffee bushwhacker. They were
drinking or something. Oh yeah, I bet and I was like,
I have to go.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, you love it. I love it. And we loved
it so much we went to the next time too,
So look at rand did love it, We really did.
And then Saturday we went and got brunch at the
mocking Bird. Oh my gosh. They had cream cheese everything,
bagel bombs, and this giant cinnamon roll thing that had
(22:38):
cream cheese for days.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I'm getting through so hungry, like starving.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I'm trying to I'm telling you everybody, and I'm trying
to run through these so fast because nobody wants something
can fast forward. After brunch, we went to Arrington Vineyards,
which you've been.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
To choice, Yes, so fun.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Everybody loves Arrington. It's just the spot shout out Kicksbrooks.
He's the one who owns it. And you can bring
your own food. You can bring your own food, you
can literally create an entire picnic. People throw their birthday parties,
baby showers, like engagement parties out there all the time,
and they set it up with a cute little tablecloths
and we just like totally rot it because we had
just had brunch, so we literally just went out to
(23:11):
have wine and hang out. It sprinkled on us a
little bit, but that was okay, this is part of
the party.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
My vibrant is like the dessert wines, like the BlackBerry.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
The brasberry is my favorite BlackBerry, favorite second favorite wine
of all time.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Is it that's big? Because yeah, I love it too.
It's kind of it's just like dessert, like they just
drink the whole bottle because it's kind of a tiny.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But you know why it's tiny? Why? Okay, so you
know how most wine bottles are like thick, Yeah, like
the normal wine bottle. The dessert wines there are skinny
because they don't add anything extra to what they're mashing
up and creating the wine out of. Oh, there's no
like added layers of anything. It's just like the fruit
and however you make wine, I don't know. All I
(23:52):
know is that there's no added stuff as you have
in the other wines. Okay, that makes just like the
minimal ingredients. It's so good, right, it is like juice,
it is and it goes down so smooth. I know,
it's so smooth. And then we went and got drinks
at the Amster Damien, which loves. They had a great charcuterie.
The girls got espresso martinis there that they loved. I'm
(24:14):
not an espresso girl because I don't drink coffee, but
they love their espresso martinis. And then we ended the night.
We went to Ernie's, which is one of my favorite
bars in East Nashville besides now Skinny Dennis and Lakeside
Lounge for some maz Rellistics to in the night and
play some darts.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
How do you find all that? I am curious, like
how you find all this?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Because just trolling social media and when people post things
if they like, whether it's my friends or like, I
follow Nashville Guru. I also follow where to eat in Nashville,
and whenever they post new spots popping up, I have
my own little thing in here that says Nashville still
to try, and I put them and I'm like, oh,
(24:55):
these pop ups. So whenever I want to go eat
for a like specific thing, whether it's lunch, brunch, dinner, drinks.
Like I have all the things of where we could
go try something new, so I just kind of keep
a running list. And then when they were all coming,
I was like, heck, yeah, I'm crossing off all these rights.
They'll try all these things.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Get to your organization's coming back tell you. But yeah,
then we ended up the next day. We were hungover,
they weren't.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I was dying. We had brunch out Adele's, which is
the best buffet brunching down, and then we uh walked
around twelve South, which is the best little area.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Wow, you're such a good host. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's this is why I'm tire.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, I know that. That is the bad thing, Like
when you have visitors because you want to do everything
and you're like, oh, I have so much fun, but
then you're like, oh my gosh, no, I'm exhausted, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Like and it truly was. We had. We had so
so much fun. Like I love those girls and the
fact that we even plan a trip and still do
it at this point in our lives, Like two of
them have two babies each and we just all make
the time and it's always so much fun. But man,
like they can out part of me under the table.
Really it's wild. I'm like, I used to be here
(26:05):
and I cannot anymore. Maybe it's because, like work was
so busy, it just consumes a lot of my brain
and energy that when it's all over, I'm like, okay,
I just want to lay on the couch. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think it is because that's how I felt in
San Diego, Like I was like, wait, I used to
be the one like dancing, Like, why is he on
the table dancing?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You're like, this is reversed.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, how do you have as much energy?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Isn't it weird? It is.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I think we're just like at our capacity, you can
only do so much.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, yeah, it is true. And you and I are
both busy, busy girls. We've had a lot going on. Okay,
so that was me. Oh and also I got a
free piece of cake when we went to the Henry
really so because I had asked for like no bacon
on the salad that I got and it came out bacon.
I was like, it's fine. I just literally just picked
it off as in one area, and the guy felt
super bad and he ended up bringing me like one
(26:56):
of their butter cream cake things to try. I was like,
I was like, really didn't have do this, but like
also I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That is really nice. It was butter cream that sounds
so good.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It was with vanilla bean ice cream and these like
caramel crunchy things. It was so good. Abby, I had
so so much good food this week.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I'm gonna like take note of all these and
try all of them.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, I'll give you the list you and your wife
and the itinerary that you can run it out like
over a week, you know, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm doing the exact same itinerary this weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It was really happen and it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Sunday I'm just like, oh my gosh, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
And we got to talk about a grasshopper and some
something that I'll be found gross. All right, Abby, the grasshopper,
what happened? Tell me the story?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay? Do you have you ever had like can spinach?
It's just basic like Popeye's brand.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yes, But also I don't know what I've ever bought it.
I've seen it. I think I typically always just buy
spinach in.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The bag, right, Well, this is it's like in water basically,
so it's it looks kind of gross, but I've been
eating it since I was a kid. I put white
vinegar on it. It's just it's sounds gross, but it
is actually Sorry you put this or do you just
like straight up cannon. No, you just pour it in
a bowl. You you drain out the water so that
there's no liquid. You just put the spinach in a
(28:16):
bowl and then you mix white vinegar in it. Just
please try it. I know it sounds and looks gross,
but it's it's like compliment. The white vinegar compliments it
so well, and it's just good.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I do like both of those things. But I'm just
gonna be so honest. It just so disturbing.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, okay, you want to hear disturbing. So I my
boyfriend tried it for the first time because he's like,
that's really weird combination, and so we ate like most
of it, and then he looks on his plate and
there is a grasshopper, like like all the whole grasshopper day, yeah,
legs and everything. It was white though, like it wasn't black,
(28:52):
but it was like the most disgusting thing ever. And
he's like, I'm never eating this again. I'm never eating
spinach out of a can again. I'm like, what, Like,
what are the odds it's gonna be another can?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You're like, I will mean this is my whole life
and this has never happened to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's never happened. And I'm like, yeah, the odds of that.
I've been eating it my whole life and this has
never happened. And then I introduced it to someone new
and now he's grossed out by it. He's like, I'm
never gonna unsee that. Like he almost did throw it
because he was like, Abby, come look at this. Come look.
He's like throwing up. Like he's like oh, and I'm
like that never happens.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Would you eat it a gosh? No?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh you putn't. Oh see now, I just ruin it
for everybody because they're gonna think there's something in there.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
It's and it's like Bobby always says it when he's like,
you find something that is like fresh, so you know
that's what you get, and I get it, but it
doesn't take away the experience that you had where you're like,
I'm gonna vomit, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm still gonna eat it.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You are because it didn't like it happened inadvertently to you,
but it didn't happen to you, right, And it's not alive.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
People eat bugs all the time, that is true.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
But you don't know you're doing that, you know what
I mean, Like you open your mouth when you're sleeping
and you might consume some bugs, but like you're not
knowingly be like, let me eat this grasshopper. Oh it
did a bug? That looks so good?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's true. People take the tequila shots with the scorpion.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
No, I can never ate. Not the is the it's
the worm there. I think there's a worm and there's
a scorpion. Okay, something with tequila. Man, they put all
kinds of bugs in that tequila. And I don't know
where that comes from, but I can never know. Like
it's fine. I'm like, guys, that's still a version of meat.
It might be the littlest tinily piece of meat, but
it's and they had a mole of insect thing.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah yeah it's gross.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, but you would still eat it.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah that's so I gonna need it. Okay, have you
found anything like that.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I did find plastic in one of my food at
one of my favorite places, and it did turn me
off there for a while, but it wasn't gross enough
where I was like, yeah, it was like plastic, this sucks,
But it wasn't like you know, a hair.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, that is rough. When that happens.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh, when I find hair, it's over. I don't even
like hair. I'm gonna tell you something that's so bad.
Like I am so good with the environment until it
comes to drying my hands. I have to use paper
towels because if you give me a towel and the
little hair fibers get.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
All my salop.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, the little hairs get in my food. I literally
gag you do. It's so so bad. And it was
not like that as a kid. I think as I've
gotten older and I've started really cooking and like handling
my own food, and I notice it. And I see
people wipe their hands on towels and they cook, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Can taste it?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
So the little fiber I don't know that I can
taste it, but like I know because I've seen them
on my hands, especially when I handle like cheese. If
I'm cutting like a block of cheese.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh yeah, I have to.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Use paper towels because I don't. And I'm sure there's
little fibers, but I don't see them. But like you
know what I'm talking about when you use a towel,
like does the little tea tiny fuzzies, say no to
the fibers.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I get those in my eyelashes all the time and
in my eyes me too.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
That's fine, that's not going in my mouth, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
No, that's just as annoying. I can't see it, and
you have to shine. I shine my like phone light
on it, and it like to make yourself going because
it's yeah, you can't see it unless it's like the
right angle. I'm like, huh, I really are going.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
You're gonna comply when they're like, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Oh, that's what happened. I was getting the fuzz the
fibers out of my hate.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I'm telling you, Wow, I don't know. That's a quirk
about me, for sure.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I'm getting another freaking fun I want to somebody shook
at my phone? What is happening? Miscall? This is a
high priority alert. I'm like, I'm so appreciative, but like
we got we gotta got something out.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Man, I know I need more detail me out. Can
they at least put like the zip codes or areas
instead of just like, I mean something just a little
more specific. I oh my gosh, stop please let me alone.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I know, I know, we know, derilled my train of thought.
But anyways, fibers, Yeah, that's I can't do it. It's
so weird, and I I, yeah, there we are. None
of my towels have fibers. And I do think we
can have certain dish towels that don't have them, and
I probably just need to invest in some of those.
(33:17):
But I think I don't think I even if they do,
I just I'm always gonna think that they do.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I'm gonna look up anti fiber dish cloth.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Even like when people put like they do it specifically
like the bread cloth and they put it around, I'm like, no, no, no, no,
oh my god, that's like a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
The whole outside of the bres is gonna be covered fire.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I don't know how to have England hair, and I
don't know why. I don't know where it comes from. Okay,
So I want to talk about this because I got
a message from a listener named Bethany. And it's so
funny because people will call it and they're like, we
listen to the show, we love you guys, or like
I had people come up to me when I was
(34:02):
out with friends this weekend and it was so sweet.
It was so fun getting to meet people and they'll
be like, you influenced me whatever. I'm like, gosh, I'm
not an influencer. That's not how I view myself. I
just share my life, you know what I mean. Yeah,
but she reached out to me and she was like,
I pulled a Morgan number two move and I spent
hours coaxing this dog that got abandoned, and now and
(34:24):
I reached out to my friend who has a rescue
and now we are officially fosters, and a holy crap,
what is happening? No, and like sent me all these updates.
I'm like, you know what, I'll take the influencer title now,
like for that. If I'm influencing people to foster. She
wasn't the only one. I even got one from another
guy and I screenshoted. He has a cute, adorable seven
year old chihuah wah. Right now, let me find his name,
(34:46):
because that's Bethanie who reached out. This guy's name is
Chris and he currently has a foster named Harold who's
seven years old, a little chuah wah mix. And he's like,
I'm doing it, Like he messaged me. He's like, tell
me how I can get involved in fostering and stuff.
And if there is literally nothing else I do in
this world that matters, that's fine as long as that's
the influence I have, And I like that it made
(35:07):
it worth it. I think all the influencing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I think it does show that, Like if you see
a dog, like, don't just assume I don't know that,
or just you could take it home. You never know.
I think because me growing up like I don't know,
I was just always taught like because we had a dog,
so that wasn't a thing. Like my family, we wouldn't
be like, oh, let's just foster it. I just didn't
think that was ever a big thing, was it when
(35:31):
you were a.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Kid, like to foster this never fostering, adopting, understanding, rescue,
all of that never became a thing until one of
my college roommates wanted to start fostering. I don't even
know how she found it. I think it was more
so because we all really wanted a dog. All of
us were huge animal lovers and we or a cat
and we just couldn't. We were college students, like that
(35:53):
wasn't the responsible thing to do. And I think she
stumbled upon this fostering program. It was Purple Paws in Manhattan, Kansas,
and we ended up streaming twenty dogs through them together,
and that was my first introduction and from there it
just spearheaded like a whole who I am now and
fostering and how I got remmy was becoming a volunteer
at the Kansas Humane Society after college. It like sit
(36:16):
me on that track. But before that, no I knew
they existed because of like the ass cap or as pat.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I can never say SPA or something SPCA, I think,
so I don't know if you even say it, you
just spell it maybe, But I always knew about stuff
because of those and society of Yeah, but I also
don't feel like the problem was near as.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Bad as what it is today.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Hyeah.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
And we're in very very dire times with rescues and
shelters and stuff, so you know, never before but we
I mean I'd seen my parents like help animals, but
most of the time I always saw them get reunited
with owners.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yes, yeah, Like.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It was never like I found the dog or you know,
yeah they didn't have identification or somebody wasn't looking for
them or whatever. There was always like a reunited thing
that happened. It wasn't now until my like this phase
of my life where I'm like, oh no, these dogs
probably got abandoned mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
And even like microchips too.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Which is such an easy thing to do. You can
literally go to a shelter and say microchip my dog
and they probably will for five or ten dollars. Like
it's such an easy thing to do, so you know,
it's easy.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Like the biggest thing for me is why I'm hesitant
like to foster, Like I would love to, but I'd
be so sad that I'm like, oh now I have
to take you back.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
You know, it is hard, Like there's listen, there's no
part of me that can sit here and say it's
so easy to let them go. I cried when I
let my last foster go and you had them like
a week, right, Yeah, And I don't know, I'll in
love with her. Yeah, but also I think there's a
safety in my home, and they see the animals I
have and they know they're safe, so it creates a
very safe environment that's just easy for them. So we
(37:52):
get attached super quick. But all that to say, somebody
had said something similar to me, and my response was, like,
my heartache is worth them, not being euthanized, not knowing, neglect,
not being stuck in a shelter. My little breaking of
my heart for that one moment in time, or for
(38:13):
a few days that follow is incredibly worth it to
know that I can help in some form or fashion,
because not only am I saving that one dog's life,
I'm saving another who can take their place, I know,
you know, yeah, like a getting domino effect, And when
you reframe the thought process of that and you also accept,
like for me, I have to accept like Remy, she
(38:35):
is a great foster sister. She has her moments, but
also I know she's never gonna allow me to have
another dog without like it being the right fit, and
so I have that responsibility to her to never bring
one in without it being the right fit. And there's
just a lot of them, as amazing as they all are,
(38:56):
It's no different than finding Grimlin aka now Lola. She
hated my cat, and I was like, Hazel came first,
and I have a responsibility to her, Like it doesn't
matter how much I love this dog, This is not
the right fit for me at the end of the day.
But she became the right fit for my parents, you
know what I mean, Like, and and I picture them
getting to have this just better life because of the
(39:19):
role that I got to play in it, and that
so much of that was reframing my mindset on it. Yeah,
and I think it helps. And as you.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Could, I know, I'm just gonna want to keep them all.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
And that's okay. If you find one that you're in
love with and you're like, I can't let them go,
then you do. And that's what happens. And a lot
of people become foster fails. But a lot of the
time you know your circumstances, and you also know, like doo,
if you do foster fail, you can't foster anymore, or
you can, it just might be a while or whatever, right,
(39:53):
So it ends that, you know what I mean, Like,
there's just you just kind of have to put these
like blocks in your head to be like, this is
why I'm doing, this is how I'm helping, this is
why it matters. And then like also, if I stop,
that's one less foster, it's one less person to keep helping. Yeah,
like you just kind of have to like literally reframe
your mind about it. You do, yeah, and I think
(40:15):
once you do it, once you love it so much
and you're just like that was worth it. The reward
is so worth it.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Oh my god. I love dogs.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I like you would be a great foster.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I know I love them. I want to be a
vet at one time.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
But I know I think I think you should try one.
Just try one. There's because there's no All that happens
is like you feel and you're like, Okay, this isn't
for me.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I did it for the two weeks and it got
adopted and this is awesome or however long and you're like, okay,
that's not for me. I think you'll find it is
for you. I mean, I love pet sitting so exactly,
and I like to be able to pass them off
and be like I'm good. I don't need that in
my life. Yeah, I love them like you love Ramine Hazel,
but your boby like I don't want that every day
of my life. I'm good, you know what I mean.
(40:58):
So you find mind that more often than not, it's
just not the right situation for you, but you you
get to be a part of loving them.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I know. It's so cute. See that's cool that you're
like in aspiring others, even me influencing.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Okay, do you have one? Do you have any like
fun comments from people recently?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Well, you know how I did the like Saint Jude
fundraiser thing where I like was singing to people to
send videos.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
I'm still working on those videos. By the way, there
were a lot like God, because I need doing personalized
like thirty and so I'm kind of like personalizing them
to be like hey Katie, thanks for donating. But a
lot of the people that with their donation, they send
in notes and they were just like keep singing, like
I love the idea. Don't listen to lunchbox, Like you
(41:45):
have a beautiful voice. So like it's good to hear,
you know, because sometimes you just like lose sight and
I'm like maybe I am bad or you know, you
let that creep in and it's like it's nice to
hear people complimenting.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
I was gonna say you also, like thirty people donated
and did that because they wanted to hear you.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
There were a couple of fifteens, and I was like, oh,
they didn't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Because I've made support you.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I made the amount twenty five. What if there would
have been like a twenty four dollar that might.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Have been more intentional. And also maybe the fifteens that's
just all they could afforded.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
No, I love the fifteen Yeah, you know what I
mean kind of kidding on that.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah, yes, but like you can't take that personally, because
I guarantee none of those was like that, right, Lunchbox
is in a category of his own, I know he is.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
It's just like positive compliments, you know, like even the
other day someone out like complimented my shoes or something,
and I was like, oh my god, that like made
my day. You know, we just we didn't think things
all the time, but we don't actually say it. And
I'm like, I want to start complimenting people.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
No, this is this is a thing. I did an
episode on my podcast with a guy named doctor Harry Cohen.
That's the right name. Why does that sound like a
famous person's name.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Are you going wait hereicnic Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
No, it's doctor Harry Cohen. Okay. I was like, that
feels like a famous name right now, and he does
kind of have it. But he has a book called
Be the Sun Not the Salt, and so much of
it is about like literally just showing up every day
and just loving life and like complimenting people and wearing
a smile and it allows you to like feel better,
but also you're existing better in the world and in
(43:22):
turn making other people feel better about themselves. Yeah, but
it's a hard thing to do. Life's happening, you're busy,
and there's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I know, but I've been trying to like better. If
I'm like, oh, that girl's hair is so pretty, I'm
trying to like just vocalize it. It takes two seconds to say,
and she's like, oh my gosh, really, thank you. Like
people aren't used to get it because we're just so quick,
you know, like I'm getting my coffee. We're in and out,
but so people are just in their own world. But
if you just take five seconds.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
To exactly it's so important.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I know.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
I love that you got all of those, though. I
hope the positive outweigh the negative because they often do.
As I said, when this segment happened, and lunch Box
is like, I see it all over, I'm like, I
don't know what you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
I thank you for saying that. I mean, there are
a lot of like the sixty four like, it's right,
a lot of people there.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
It is also what's that saying opinions are like but
something else? There's another part of that. But everybody's got one. Yeah,
you know I'm talking about that. I do. It's one
of my favorite sayings. Is it's so true, right true.
Everybody has an opinion.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, which is fine. Doesn't mean it's right right, doesn't
mean you have to say it.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
That's so true.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Okay, but yourself. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Please, that's nice. I'm excited for you. I'm excited to
see how the marathon goes. I hope you beat your boyfriend.

The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan Part one
behind with a member of the show What's Up Everybody?
Happy Weekend? Abby is joining me this weekend on Best Bits.
What's up Abby? What's up? Well, we did have quite
the scare this week. There's crazy storms and my god,
(00:21):
I think you and I may have brought tornado Alley
with us to Kansas. From Kansas to Tennessee. I think
we did, yeah, because tell me why just in the
last you know, seven years, we've been having tornadoes here,
but like then, we've been having tornadoes our whole lives
in Kansas, and.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yet the more he yes, I feel like there has
been more here. Yeah, but I also feel like here
people are more scared or they're just like unsure because
it doesn't happen. It's often here.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Well, they don't know what to do, they don't know
how to prepare. Like I was literally texting my neighbors
and I was like, get in your shelter, and they're
like we'll watching them, like no, no, no, get in
your shelter. And they're like, well, and I like will
teach everybody what they have to have them and like
have harnesses on your animals, make sure if they move
a lot, like have them in some form of a cage,
like my cat's in her little backpack, and I have
(01:08):
shoes on, I have clothes on, My wallet's in there,
Like you have to be prepared in the one chance
that something really bad is about to happen, even though
ninety percent of the time it's not, you have to
be prepared for that ten percent that it could, right,
And everybody always looks at me like I have ten
heads When I say that, I'm like, no, no, no,
(01:28):
Like when if I like last night before I had
gone to bed and this all happened, and I knew
it was gonna happen overnight. My pantry, which is where
my little inside room is I which is underneath our
little staircase because structure is really good, no windows, but
I had put in cushions in there. I put all
of the animals stuff that they needed, pairs of shoes.
(01:49):
I had my phone, I had my wallet, I had
everything I needed in case something were to happen. And
it did at two or three am, come freaking loudly
believing it was like get in your shelter, and I'm
like rolling out of bed. I'm like trying to pick
Russell Hazel and I'm like, get in here.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's so crazy because I did I stay in bed,
I just stay asleep.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Are you serious?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, it's really bad.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Why do you do that? I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I think it's me growing up. I just am like,
what's going to happen is going to happen, which is
really bad.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So I don't know, like averse of each other, Like
I grew up with it, So I'm like, i know
what this is going to look like and I'm prepared
for it. Yes, you grew up in it, and you're like,
I know what this is going to look like and
it's fine.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I put it in God's hands.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
That is so bad. Yeah, you have to with your boyfriend.
Does he panic at all?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Or like?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Is he prepared?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Here's the thing. I was at my house when so
I was alone, okay during it? Yeah, so I mean
he is prepared. And he was like yeah, probably texting
and calling you being like are you awake? Are you
basically yeah, but I was like, oh my god, I
was actually scared. I was scared. I was like, why
am I here alone? Right now? I know, but I
(03:07):
rifing feelings, I know.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
And you have to like you're about to face potentially
something really bad, like by yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Gary, it was, And it was just like three in
the morning and your phone's going off. You hear tornado sirens,
and you're just like, oh, what do I do? But
then I just stayed in bed.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You got paralyzed by the fear, just like I'm just
gonna stay here.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Because I think the best for me would be like
downstairs in the bathroom. Yeah, by the toilet, that would
be mine.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
You were upstairs and no room with windows. All right, Kansas, girl,
we know better than this.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
We know why with.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Wizard of oz Man and Twister that is true.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
You know what's crazy is I'm like one of the
most anxious people I know, Like I take anti anxiety meds,
but when it comes to stuff like that, like mother
nature stuff, I'm just like, there's not much I can do.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Like they're literally so many you can do. I'm shocked
You're gonna take precautions, but yeah, and like you can
be alive. What if mine now it takes everything else?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
What if my house collapse? If I'm in that bathroom
and the whole floor they're like the washer and dryer
is above that bathroom just falls on me.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Well, that's also why you're supposed to have a helmet on.
That's why I had cushions to have on top of
my head.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That they say to put like your mattress.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh yeah, like I had my couch cushions, like the
very like sturdy ones ready to go. You can at
least attempt to save your own mind, and you can't.
There's a benefit in that, Oh my goodness, Abby. Beyond that, though,
it was so crazy? Is every what was wild about
this last one? We had more tornado watches and warnings
(04:49):
happening in the span of such a short amount of time.
It was like one tornado warning would expire and then
twenty minutes later, here comes another one, here comes another one.
I think in total I got three or four tornado
warnings themselves, and then like eight phone calls, ten text messages.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah me too. And that's the thing. It's like when
they oversaturate it, then you just start being like kind
of overwhelmed because you're like, well, what part of Nashville
is that it is?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Is it west east? This is where you watch nash severe.
They're so good at telling you. Like I would watch them,
I'd get my notification, I'd turn them on, and I'd
start preparing myself like okay, we got to move. And
then they'd be like, okay, we see rotation in the radar,
but we don't see anything on the ground, and I'm like, okay,
we can calm down, but we should still start heading
that direction.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
They are the best. They are good, so good at
what they do. It is insane, like watching on Twitter
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, Like I use the notifications from the government, but
that's all I get, like everything else on Like Nashal,
I trust whatever you're saying.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yes, they're there on top of it, like by the second, whereas,
like you said, the sirens they were going off.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Thirty minutes after. I'm like, what good would that have done?
I know, even those guys on that live streamer being like, well,
you guys have to remember these sirens are from like
an older time. They're not quite equipped for today. And
I'm like, I get that, but why can't we equipped
them to be for today? Because most people, especially your
(06:18):
older generation, aren't really on technology. They're not watching this.
And if you lose power and you don't have your
cable to watch the news that maybe you potentially do,
and you don't have a smartphone, how you're never gonna know.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Mm hmmm. I know. No, that is so true because
I think, did you lose power at one point? Yes, yes,
I did too, And I think that turned my alarm
off because I have my legs. Well, I don't want
to say it's gonna make everybody's go a word. I
had her set my two alarms and I always do
didn't go off, so I got up an hour later
than I usually. It was bad. I was like scrambling
makeup on it's It was a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, I think a lot of people lost power.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It was such a wow moment.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
It is. I feel for people that were like really
affected and like the there's flooding and flooding.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I know, much much worse happened in other areas than
when we got We kind of got lucky in what
did happen. We never had the tornadoes on the ground,
but from wherever it came from, it did cause devastation
in a lot of places. And that's what's just so
scary about tornadoes. Like, I don't know, everybody always thinks
(07:27):
I'm so cool, calm and collected when it comes to tornadoes,
I'm like, no, I'm prepared, like I grew up with this.
I've been in them, I've heard them, I've been around
them a lot. I know what they're like, and they
are terrifying when they happen. And I've also seen the
destruction in multiple towns when it happens, Like I've been
part of pickup crews and news cruise when these massive
(07:48):
devastation is hit and what they can do is terrifying.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Oh in a matter of seconds, yeah, in the.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Sound of them the train coming. Yeah, that cost me
for life, I know. But Abby's overcreous, something wrong with me.
We you know, we should probably work on your preparation plan.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yes, let's work on that.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
We can do that. We can work on preparation plans.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That is one thing. Like my boyfriend, he's like, you
never want to plan ahead for anything? I like he
loves to plan. Like he's like, Okay, what do you
want to do next Saturday? I'm like, I don't even
know what we're going to do tomorrow. What do you
mean next Saturday? So, yes, this is also that coming
out that just like me planning I just I live
in the moment, which.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is living in the moment is not a bad thing.
And you know, sometimes you need a mix of both
of you guys, or you need a mix of both
of those things to make your relationship happen and work
in the best way. Yeah, Because if you just want
to plan things all the time, you're never gonna have
any spontaneity. You're never gonna have like moments where like,
oh well let's change courses here and try this something new.
(08:54):
M you get in a monotony like kind of routine
of things right, but never having plan also.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
For emergencies, that's here not a good thing. Yeah, yeah, okay,
thanks for opening my eyes. We're gonna go do some
emergency planning right now.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And it doesn't have to be a lot like you
hear mine, I have like five things that I throw
in there, and I'm like whatever, as long as I
have my wallet, I can go and buy things, and
as long as I have my animals, everything else doesn't matter.
And I have clothes on my mama, body, shoes on
my feet. We're golden. That's all that matters. Like, I
don't make it a whole thing because to unfortunately here,
(09:32):
which that's why I loved Kansas. They have freaking basements,
right they don't.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, we would just go down to the basement, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh yeah, we just sleep. We'd literally fall asleep in
the basement and was like, okay, wake us up when
it's over. But here, I'm like, okay, go downstairs, get
in the pantry. Okay, out of the pantry, back in bed, Okay,
back downstairs.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I know. That was like one of the craziest things
when I first moved here, I'm like, people do not
have basements.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
This is wild. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I was in one basement one time, like one of
my friends. They were like running a house and I
was like, I've never seen this in Tennessee. We're going downstairs,
going down into the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
That weird is It's so weird. Okay, well those are
our weather. Weather situations from two Kansas girl.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, no sleep and if you're sleep.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
If you like Abby, please have a plan.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
I know, please make I was like, Hey, shout out
to people like me, but that's not good. That's not
going to be that way.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Whether it's tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, everything, you should have a
plan for whatever area you're in.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I have a fire extinguisher house.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
That's all that's it.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
A flash light.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
That's the only thing we're prepared for. Do you have
lights in case your power goes out?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah? I do, Okay, Yeah, I have a really bright
flash light. Yeah, okay, but I need to go. Oh,
I have a lantern one too, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I have the lantern ones. I have like multiple of them.
They came in like a four pack or something for
me Amazon. I just placed them everywhere.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The other thing though, that I always think about is
like your phone, if it dies and you don't have electricity,
do you have like a backup charge or a charge
it with?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yep. I always keep my portable battery charged, so that
does come in there with me.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You you're so you're so prepared.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Stop uh huh? I am. I am an organized lady.
I love my organization and I love my preparedness.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I'm a chaotic lady. I'm like, I was going to
bed so late from working. I'm just like, I'm so tired,
I'm gonna go to sleep. It was it was a lot,
but it's okay.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I just worry about you, like next time this happens.
Now that I know this about you, I'm gonna call
you and get and be like, get in the shelter.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I already I did that with like both of my neighbors.
I was like, you guys up, is everybody good getting
your shelters?
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, I'm made to that. I made the list.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Okay, I'll add you. Trust me. I was right, and
I was texting another one of my friends. I was
in a different area. I'm all about, like, I'll help
you get out of bed.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Well, usually the Bobby Bone Show, like group chat, you
usually are like, hey, is everybody good?
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know? I know, but we all are also in
so many different places. But you and I are near
each other, so I can make sure I'm always checking
on you. I'll add you to my my side of
town checklist. So you're like, hey, we got over here.
So I got you, Okay, I got your back.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Sounds good.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
all right. So you went to San Diego recently? You
and your boyfriend went on a trip. How was it?
What happened?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
So fun? So he used to live in San Diego
for like ten years. He was in the navy. Wow,
he was stationed out there and like some of his
best friends he hasn't seen in like four years, lived there.
So we stayed with a really fun couple of his
and we just did everything. They liked to drink, so
we went out a lot. But yeah, we took the
(12:41):
not the trolley but the ferry like over to Coronado. Yeah,
and there's like a really nice hotel there. It's like
the Hotel Dell or something, and it's like haunted. Like
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Really nice, but yeah, like pugi, like you pay really
expensive price, but it's haunted.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
It's really nice. Yeah, but apparently two guests that were
staying there, like it was like a man and her
his wife, and he like murdered her or something like
at the hotel and so apparently that room that she
stayed in is haunted. That's like the theory or whatever.
But it's really pretty and really nice there. So we
rode bikes around the island.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's so fun. It was really fun. What was your favorite,
like top three favorite things from the trip.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, top five favorite things. Well, definitely like the fairy
that was awesome, the faery ride.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Have you ever been on a ferry?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
M hm okay I did in North Carolina. We went
on one there too. What else I just loved like
seeing the local places. You know how Nashville has like
twelve South and like all these cute little areas. That's
what I love seeing, like the local perspective when you
go places. So just like seeing we went. I got
this really good coffee. What was the name of it?
I forget the name of the coffee shop, but it
(13:49):
was so good. I love my coffee.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You do love your coffee.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
So I'm like, that's the first thing I have to
do is we're like, Okay, let's go get coffee, local coffee,
not Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You're like me with coffee. I'm like that with donuts,
Like I always have to try the local donuts.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, I never get donuts, like you know, they don't
co operate with that stomach.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
But that's your thing though. It is like you have
to try the local coffee shops. I'm like, Okay, what's
what's there? Because I've been to so many different places.
They have all kinds of donuts and their specialties. You
have potato donuts. I've had, Oh my gosh. I wish
I could tell you, like the list of like random
things that people come up with. But they're so fun
to try local spots.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh I bet yeah, like that you never even you're like, wait,
that's even a thing.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, like what is this?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Okay, So we got coffee, we got the faery, and
then Coronado and then we ran because we're both doing
the half marathons.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
We were going to train there.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Oh, you guys are gonna do it together. Yeah, that's
so fun.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I know we did last year and he stayed with me.
But this year I think he's like faster somehow, he's
actually training more. But it's gonna be like a competition now.
But we ran and we ran by Balboa Park. It's
like the prettiest park I've ever seen. I don't know
if you've heard of that. I have heard of.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It sounds familiar.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It was so beautiful. But we did like six miles
and just like ran all over and that was really fun.
Like the weather was nice.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You guys are so cute, you little runners.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, I know all the other guys who.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Exercised on vacation. Oh my gosh, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
But yeah, we only got one in because the next
day we were not well from the drinking. Yeah, you're like,
I can't do it you.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Go like full on clubbing or were you just drinking
in fun places?
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Just drinking at fun places, and then we would come
back and like dance. They turned on music and we
were just like dancing. I got like the funniest videos
because they hadn't seen each other for four years, so
they were like catching up and I was just kind
of like watching the moment.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I'm here for the vibes.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, and I actually had to like go to bed.
I felt like such. It was like two when I
was tired. They stayed up till like four. I'm like,
oh my gosh, you so not like you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I know, you're normally the rager.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I know, so they're gonna be like, oh, she's really boring.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
She only stayed up until two eights, I know, but
like California, that means it's four am in Nashville.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, you know. I was like, oh my gosh, I
was really tired, but it was super fun.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
So yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I just had three of my oldest girlfriends, like oldest
friends ship like over fifteen years, not like they're old.
I don't know if I said that correctly. My brain
is fried running on one hour of sleep. They just
came and visited me. We always do, like once a year,
we always do trip where we all get together, and
this year they just wanted to come to Nashville and
(16:22):
so fun. Oh my gosh, Abby gets so much fun.
We had it blast. But I was the same way.
I literally we were at a bar at one point
in the weekend and I was like, I'm just gonna
lay down right here. I wasn't even drunk. I was
so tired. I was like, I need sleep. And then
I got a second win somehow. They're like, Okay, get up,
we're gonna go. We're gonna go dancing party. And I'm
like and we kept moving that night. We were out
(16:45):
till three am. Wow, so you did manage. But man,
I'm still in recovery from that. I mean this that
was this past weekend and I am still And then
the tornadoes. I'm like, dude, this weekend, I am sleeping
all weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Don't talk to me as you guys do.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
So I took them to a bunch. I'm gonna like
run through our r itinerary because I know so many
people come and visit Nashville and they're always like, what
do we do. Where do we see? And I feel
like I put together just prime itinerary for them coming,
like I'm going to show you this. Dang, I'm getting another.
I'm literally getting a call you are from Metro government
right now to tell me I'm sure about the flash
flood warning.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Oh I didn't get that. I got a text though.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Oh, I'm bet I'll get a text too, Like, yep,
I did. Texts just came through. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I signed up for every I did too after the
last one. Yeah, because I didn't get anything, well, I did.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
It either, and because they clearly the sirens are not
on time. I know. Okay, let me pull this up
real quick. I'm just gonna run through this really quick.
So they got in Thursday and we went and made
bracelets at Little Words Projects together everybody. I may one
that said, uh, what was it? Fir mom with a
little popprint and on my like my esthetic brown and
(17:54):
black of their colors. And so we did that first,
and we walked around Fifth and Broadway downtown. They really
wanted to see Morgan Wallan's bar, so we stopped in there.
I ate some really bombed mac and cheese bites from
his bar at the bar okay, because I needed a
little snack. I had been coming off at work and
I met up with them and I'm like, okay, we're
on Broadway on a Thursday.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Here I go, Here we go. I gotta get some
food literally.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So we did that, and then that night we had
dinner at the Henry in twelve South, which loved, love,
love love. This is where I saw Reese Witherspoon and
I like geeked out, and they were geeking out.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I would die. I love her, She'd be too cute.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And they so badly wanted to like talk to her
and said, oh, these guys, we can't, we can't, we can't.
I want to, but we can't.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Did you say.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
She was with her family, her kids, and they were eating.
They did take a video of one of the girls
walking out and she like walks behind her and I
was mortified, Oh, like, we can't do that, guys, we
can't do that. I know she's gonna see yes. And
then we went and got drinks at the Blind Barber,
which is a cocktail bar, which hilarious though. So we
walk into this place, super cute, cool bar, and nobody's
(18:56):
in there. But I just opened, I'm like, okay, I'm
missing something, and within like fifteen minutes, just a swarm
of college kids come in. We were in the middle
of a fraternity sorority mixer.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
They had rented out the freakin' bar, but they still
let other people in.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Apparently we had a literal reservation at this bar.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
They're like, don't mind the walk in party that's coming in.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
No, they said it was a birthday party, and we're like, okay,
birthday party. Oh, we got bamboozled. So then these freaking
little college kids are coming up to us and we're like.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
The al ladies in the corner, that's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
And these two kids were like talking to us, and
one of them's like, listen, I'm gonna need you to
come to my formal with me down in Savannah, and
I'm like, sir, that is a whole other life for me.
At this point, I've been to playing of formals. I
am good on that. He's like, but it's all paid for.
You can come down. I promise you'll have so much fun.
I'm like, let's story.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
That's flattering. He thinks you're like college and college.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
It was flattering, and I was like, sir, I'm gonna
need you to find somebody your own age. I am
ninety nine percent sure. He was barely twenty one? Barely?
Oh yeah, I got a fake barely, Like not sure
how and where? What? Why? But that's what happened. And
so we're sitting there on My friends are eating this up.
They're like, yes, you should go. You always do stuff
(20:15):
for the plot. Morgan, I'm like, this is a plot
that feels very wrong.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah. Sound, I don't know if that got in.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Well. I love a free trip as much as the
next person, but this is not one of those that
I'm gonna walk down.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
So that was Thursday Night Wild Experience. Yeah, would you
have gone? Would you got? Would you have Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay, maybe I was single.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I'm gonna I'm just gonna for the plot, do everything
for the plot.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
No, that'd be weird. That's just weird, I know, right, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
So then they went and got some yummy food while
I was at work, and we ended up having dinner
at We ended up that afternoon we had a little
like spa day at Escape day Spot, got some facials,
got some massages. It was so fun. I needed that desperately.
You need a spot I right go to this place.
(21:05):
It's like full spa mode, is it. Yeah? And I
have a hilarious steam room story that I'm gonna prep
for the big show. Okay next week sometime. Yeah, you're
gonna die hilarious. Oh no, no, it's hilarious. Okay, it's funny.
And then we went and had dinner at Polado, which
is like one of my favorite Italian spots in town.
Tapa's never been you have a man now? Oh my gosh.
(21:28):
So Radiatory vodka is to die for. Well, it's my
favorite in town. It's like a radiatory. Oh and it's
a vodka sauce. It's my favorite in town. They have
my number one Pops edition in town. And then Coco's
Italian Kitchen has my favorite. It's like a tortellini blush pasta.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
My gosh, you have all see you have all the suggestions.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
See this is why I'm like, I'm running through this
because I always get asked. And then we went and
got drinks at where did we go after Polado? Because
what I have on here is not what we did.
Oh you changed, I think we went. That was the
night we went to Skinny Dennis, and I told you
I need you to go because it's gonna be your
new favorite bar. It's like country meets dive bar.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I looked it up and someone else I know, like
posted it. It was like a coffee bushwhacker. They were
drinking or something. Oh yeah, I bet and I was like,
I have to go.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, you love it. I love it. And we loved
it so much we went to the next time too,
So look at rand did love it, We really did.
And then Saturday we went and got brunch at the
mocking Bird. Oh my gosh. They had cream cheese everything,
bagel bombs, and this giant cinnamon roll thing that had
(22:38):
cream cheese for days.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I'm getting through so hungry, like starving.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
I'm trying to I'm telling you everybody, and I'm trying
to run through these so fast because nobody wants something
can fast forward. After brunch, we went to Arrington Vineyards,
which you've been.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
To choice, Yes, so fun.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Everybody loves Arrington. It's just the spot shout out Kicksbrooks.
He's the one who owns it. And you can bring
your own food. You can bring your own food, you
can literally create an entire picnic. People throw their birthday parties,
baby showers, like engagement parties out there all the time,
and they set it up with a cute little tablecloths
and we just like totally rot it because we had
just had brunch, so we literally just went out to
(23:11):
have wine and hang out. It sprinkled on us a
little bit, but that was okay, this is part of
the party.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
My vibrant is like the dessert wines, like the BlackBerry.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
The brasberry is my favorite BlackBerry, favorite second favorite wine
of all time.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Is it that's big? Because yeah, I love it too.
It's kind of it's just like dessert, like they just
drink the whole bottle because it's kind of a tiny.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But you know why it's tiny? Why? Okay, so you
know how most wine bottles are like thick, Yeah, like
the normal wine bottle. The dessert wines there are skinny
because they don't add anything extra to what they're mashing
up and creating the wine out of. Oh, there's no
like added layers of anything. It's just like the fruit
and however you make wine, I don't know. All I
(23:52):
know is that there's no added stuff as you have
in the other wines. Okay, that makes just like the
minimal ingredients. It's so good, right, it is like juice,
it is and it goes down so smooth. I know,
it's so smooth. And then we went and got drinks
at the Amster Damien, which loves. They had a great charcuterie.
The girls got espresso martinis there that they loved. I'm
(24:14):
not an espresso girl because I don't drink coffee, but
they love their espresso martinis. And then we ended the night.
We went to Ernie's, which is one of my favorite
bars in East Nashville besides now Skinny Dennis and Lakeside
Lounge for some maz Rellistics to in the night and
play some darts.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
How do you find all that? I am curious, like
how you find all this?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Because just trolling social media and when people post things
if they like, whether it's my friends or like, I
follow Nashville Guru. I also follow where to eat in Nashville,
and whenever they post new spots popping up, I have
my own little thing in here that says Nashville still
to try, and I put them and I'm like, oh,
(24:55):
these pop ups. So whenever I want to go eat
for a like specific thing, whether it's lunch, brunch, dinner, drinks.
Like I have all the things of where we could
go try something new, so I just kind of keep
a running list. And then when they were all coming,
I was like, heck, yeah, I'm crossing off all these rights.
They'll try all these things.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Get to your organization's coming back tell you. But yeah,
then we ended up the next day. We were hungover,
they weren't.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I was dying. We had brunch out Adele's, which is
the best buffet brunching down, and then we uh walked
around twelve South, which is the best little area.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Wow, you're such a good host. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That's this is why I'm tire.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, I know that. That is the bad thing, Like
when you have visitors because you want to do everything
and you're like, oh, I have so much fun, but
then you're like, oh my gosh, no, I'm exhausted, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Like and it truly was. We had. We had so
so much fun. Like I love those girls and the
fact that we even plan a trip and still do
it at this point in our lives, Like two of
them have two babies each and we just all make
the time and it's always so much fun. But man,
like they can out part of me under the table.
Really it's wild. I'm like, I used to be here
(26:05):
and I cannot anymore. Maybe it's because, like work was
so busy, it just consumes a lot of my brain
and energy that when it's all over, I'm like, okay,
I just want to lay on the couch. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
I think it is because that's how I felt in
San Diego, Like I was like, wait, I used to
be the one like dancing, Like, why is he on
the table dancing?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You're like, this is reversed.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, how do you have as much energy?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Isn't it weird? It is.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I think we're just like at our capacity, you can
only do so much.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, yeah, it is true. And you and I are
both busy, busy girls. We've had a lot going on. Okay,
so that was me. Oh and also I got a
free piece of cake when we went to the Henry
really so because I had asked for like no bacon
on the salad that I got and it came out bacon.
I was like, it's fine. I just literally just picked
it off as in one area, and the guy felt
super bad and he ended up bringing me like one
(26:56):
of their butter cream cake things to try. I was like,
I was like, really didn't have do this, but like
also I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That is really nice. It was butter cream that sounds
so good.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It was with vanilla bean ice cream and these like
caramel crunchy things. It was so good. Abby, I had
so so much good food this week.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, I'm gonna like take note of all these and
try all of them.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, I'll give you the list you and your wife
and the itinerary that you can run it out like
over a week, you know, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I'm doing the exact same itinerary this weekend.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It was really happen and it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Sunday I'm just like, oh my gosh, what did I do?
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
And we got to talk about a grasshopper and some
something that I'll be found gross. All right, Abby, the grasshopper,
what happened? Tell me the story?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay? Do you have you ever had like can spinach?
It's just basic like Popeye's brand.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yes, But also I don't know what I've ever bought it.
I've seen it. I think I typically always just buy
spinach in.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The bag, right, Well, this is it's like in water basically,
so it's it looks kind of gross, but I've been
eating it since I was a kid. I put white
vinegar on it. It's just it's sounds gross, but it
is actually Sorry you put this or do you just
like straight up cannon. No, you just pour it in
a bowl. You you drain out the water so that
there's no liquid. You just put the spinach in a
(28:16):
bowl and then you mix white vinegar in it. Just
please try it. I know it sounds and looks gross,
but it's it's like compliment. The white vinegar compliments it
so well, and it's just good.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I do like both of those things. But I'm just
gonna be so honest. It just so disturbing.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Well, okay, you want to hear disturbing. So I my
boyfriend tried it for the first time because he's like,
that's really weird combination, and so we ate like most
of it, and then he looks on his plate and
there is a grasshopper, like like all the whole grasshopper day, yeah,
legs and everything. It was white though, like it wasn't black,
(28:52):
but it was like the most disgusting thing ever. And
he's like, I'm never eating this again. I'm never eating
spinach out of a can again. I'm like, what, Like,
what are the odds it's gonna be another can?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You're like, I will mean this is my whole life
and this has never happened to Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
It's never happened. And I'm like, yeah, the odds of that.
I've been eating it my whole life and this has
never happened. And then I introduced it to someone new
and now he's grossed out by it. He's like, I'm
never gonna unsee that. Like he almost did throw it
because he was like, Abby, come look at this. Come look.
He's like throwing up. Like he's like oh, and I'm
like that never happens.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Would you eat it a gosh? No?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh you putn't. Oh see now, I just ruin it
for everybody because they're gonna think there's something in there.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
It's and it's like Bobby always says it when he's like,
you find something that is like fresh, so you know
that's what you get, and I get it, but it
doesn't take away the experience that you had where you're like,
I'm gonna vomit, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'm still gonna eat it.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You are because it didn't like it happened inadvertently to you,
but it didn't happen to you, right, And it's not alive.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
People eat bugs all the time, that is true.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
But you don't know you're doing that, you know what
I mean, Like you open your mouth when you're sleeping
and you might consume some bugs, but like you're not
knowingly be like, let me eat this grasshopper. Oh it
did a bug? That looks so good?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's true. People take the tequila shots with the scorpion.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
No, I can never ate. Not the is the it's
the worm there. I think there's a worm and there's
a scorpion. Okay, something with tequila. Man, they put all
kinds of bugs in that tequila. And I don't know
where that comes from, but I can never know. Like
it's fine. I'm like, guys, that's still a version of meat.
It might be the littlest tinily piece of meat, but
it's and they had a mole of insect thing.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah yeah it's gross.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah, but you would still eat it.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Yeah that's so I gonna need it. Okay, have you
found anything like that.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I did find plastic in one of my food at
one of my favorite places, and it did turn me
off there for a while, but it wasn't gross enough
where I was like, yeah, it was like plastic, this sucks,
But it wasn't like you know, a hair.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, that is rough. When that happens.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Oh, when I find hair, it's over. I don't even
like hair. I'm gonna tell you something that's so bad.
Like I am so good with the environment until it
comes to drying my hands. I have to use paper
towels because if you give me a towel and the
little hair fibers get.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
All my salop.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, the little hairs get in my food. I literally
gag you do. It's so so bad. And it was
not like that as a kid. I think as I've
gotten older and I've started really cooking and like handling
my own food, and I notice it. And I see
people wipe their hands on towels and they cook, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Can taste it?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
So the little fiber I don't know that I can
taste it, but like I know because I've seen them
on my hands, especially when I handle like cheese. If
I'm cutting like a block of cheese.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Oh yeah, I have to.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Use paper towels because I don't. And I'm sure there's
little fibers, but I don't see them. But like you
know what I'm talking about when you use a towel,
like does the little tea tiny fuzzies, say no to
the fibers.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
I get those in my eyelashes all the time and
in my eyes me too.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
That's fine, that's not going in my mouth, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
No, that's just as annoying. I can't see it, and
you have to shine. I shine my like phone light
on it, and it like to make yourself going because
it's yeah, you can't see it unless it's like the
right angle. I'm like, huh, I really are going.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
You're gonna comply when they're like, I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Oh, that's what happened. I was getting the fuzz the
fibers out of my hate.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I'm telling you, Wow, I don't know. That's a quirk
about me, for sure.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I'm getting another freaking fun I want to somebody shook
at my phone? What is happening? Miscall? This is a
high priority alert. I'm like, I'm so appreciative, but like
we got we gotta got something out.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Man, I know I need more detail me out. Can
they at least put like the zip codes or areas
instead of just like, I mean something just a little
more specific. I oh my gosh, stop please let me alone.
I get it.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I know, I know, we know, derilled my train of thought.
But anyways, fibers, Yeah, that's I can't do it. It's
so weird, and I I, yeah, there we are. None
of my towels have fibers. And I do think we
can have certain dish towels that don't have them, and
I probably just need to invest in some of those.
(33:17):
But I think I don't think I even if they do,
I just I'm always gonna think that they do.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I'm gonna look up anti fiber dish cloth.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Even like when people put like they do it specifically
like the bread cloth and they put it around, I'm like, no, no, no, no,
oh my god, that's like a whole other level.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
The whole outside of the bres is gonna be covered fire.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
I don't know how to have England hair, and I
don't know why. I don't know where it comes from. Okay,
So I want to talk about this because I got
a message from a listener named Bethany. And it's so
funny because people will call it and they're like, we
listen to the show, we love you guys, or like
I had people come up to me when I was
(34:02):
out with friends this weekend and it was so sweet.
It was so fun getting to meet people and they'll
be like, you influenced me whatever. I'm like, gosh, I'm
not an influencer. That's not how I view myself. I
just share my life, you know what I mean. Yeah,
but she reached out to me and she was like,
I pulled a Morgan number two move and I spent
hours coaxing this dog that got abandoned, and now and
(34:24):
I reached out to my friend who has a rescue
and now we are officially fosters, and a holy crap,
what is happening? No, and like sent me all these updates.
I'm like, you know what, I'll take the influencer title now,
like for that. If I'm influencing people to foster. She
wasn't the only one. I even got one from another
guy and I screenshoted. He has a cute, adorable seven
year old chihuah wah. Right now, let me find his name,
(34:46):
because that's Bethanie who reached out. This guy's name is
Chris and he currently has a foster named Harold who's
seven years old, a little chuah wah mix. And he's like,
I'm doing it, Like he messaged me. He's like, tell
me how I can get involved in fostering and stuff.
And if there is literally nothing else I do in
this world that matters, that's fine as long as that's
the influence I have, And I like that it made
(35:07):
it worth it. I think all the influencing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I think it does show that, Like if you see
a dog, like, don't just assume I don't know that,
or just you could take it home. You never know.
I think because me growing up like I don't know,
I was just always taught like because we had a dog,
so that wasn't a thing. Like my family, we wouldn't
be like, oh, let's just foster it. I just didn't
think that was ever a big thing, was it when
(35:31):
you were a.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Kid, like to foster this never fostering, adopting, understanding, rescue,
all of that never became a thing until one of
my college roommates wanted to start fostering. I don't even
know how she found it. I think it was more
so because we all really wanted a dog. All of
us were huge animal lovers and we or a cat
and we just couldn't. We were college students, like that
(35:53):
wasn't the responsible thing to do. And I think she
stumbled upon this fostering program. It was Purple Paws in Manhattan, Kansas,
and we ended up streaming twenty dogs through them together,
and that was my first introduction and from there it
just spearheaded like a whole who I am now and
fostering and how I got remmy was becoming a volunteer
at the Kansas Humane Society after college. It like sit
(36:16):
me on that track. But before that, no I knew
they existed because of like the ass cap or as pat.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I can never say SPA or something SPCA, I think,
so I don't know if you even say it, you
just spell it maybe, But I always knew about stuff
because of those and society of Yeah, but I also
don't feel like the problem was near as.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Bad as what it is today.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Hyeah.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
And we're in very very dire times with rescues and
shelters and stuff, so you know, never before but we
I mean I'd seen my parents like help animals, but
most of the time I always saw them get reunited
with owners.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Yes, yeah, Like.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
It was never like I found the dog or you know,
yeah they didn't have identification or somebody wasn't looking for
them or whatever. There was always like a reunited thing
that happened. It wasn't now until my like this phase
of my life where I'm like, oh no, these dogs
probably got abandoned mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
And even like microchips too.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Which is such an easy thing to do. You can
literally go to a shelter and say microchip my dog
and they probably will for five or ten dollars. Like
it's such an easy thing to do, so you know,
it's easy.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Like the biggest thing for me is why I'm hesitant
like to foster, Like I would love to, but I'd
be so sad that I'm like, oh now I have
to take you back.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
You know, it is hard, Like there's listen, there's no
part of me that can sit here and say it's
so easy to let them go. I cried when I
let my last foster go and you had them like
a week, right, Yeah, And I don't know, I'll in
love with her. Yeah, but also I think there's a
safety in my home, and they see the animals I
have and they know they're safe, so it creates a
very safe environment that's just easy for them. So we
(37:52):
get attached super quick. But all that to say, somebody
had said something similar to me, and my response was, like,
my heartache is worth them, not being euthanized, not knowing, neglect,
not being stuck in a shelter. My little breaking of
my heart for that one moment in time, or for
(38:13):
a few days that follow is incredibly worth it to
know that I can help in some form or fashion,
because not only am I saving that one dog's life,
I'm saving another who can take their place, I know,
you know, yeah, like a getting domino effect, And when
you reframe the thought process of that and you also accept,
like for me, I have to accept like Remy, she
(38:35):
is a great foster sister. She has her moments, but
also I know she's never gonna allow me to have
another dog without like it being the right fit, and
so I have that responsibility to her to never bring
one in without it being the right fit. And there's
just a lot of them, as amazing as they all are,
(38:56):
It's no different than finding Grimlin aka now Lola. She
hated my cat, and I was like, Hazel came first,
and I have a responsibility to her, Like it doesn't
matter how much I love this dog, This is not
the right fit for me at the end of the day.
But she became the right fit for my parents, you
know what I mean, Like, and and I picture them
getting to have this just better life because of the
(39:19):
role that I got to play in it, and that
so much of that was reframing my mindset on it. Yeah,
and I think it helps. And as you.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Could, I know, I'm just gonna want to keep them all.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
And that's okay. If you find one that you're in
love with and you're like, I can't let them go,
then you do. And that's what happens. And a lot
of people become foster fails. But a lot of the
time you know your circumstances, and you also know, like doo,
if you do foster fail, you can't foster anymore, or
you can, it just might be a while or whatever, right,
(39:53):
So it ends that, you know what I mean, Like,
there's just you just kind of have to put these
like blocks in your head to be like, this is
why I'm doing, this is how I'm helping, this is
why it matters. And then like also, if I stop,
that's one less foster, it's one less person to keep helping. Yeah,
like you just kind of have to like literally reframe
your mind about it. You do, yeah, and I think
(40:15):
once you do it, once you love it so much
and you're just like that was worth it. The reward
is so worth it.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Oh my god. I love dogs.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I like you would be a great foster.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I know I love them. I want to be a
vet at one time.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
But I know I think I think you should try one.
Just try one. There's because there's no All that happens
is like you feel and you're like, Okay, this isn't
for me.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I did it for the two weeks and it got
adopted and this is awesome or however long and you're like, okay,
that's not for me. I think you'll find it is
for you. I mean, I love pet sitting so exactly,
and I like to be able to pass them off
and be like I'm good. I don't need that in
my life. Yeah, I love them like you love Ramine Hazel,
but your boby like I don't want that every day
of my life. I'm good, you know what I mean.
(40:58):
So you find mind that more often than not, it's
just not the right situation for you, but you you
get to be a part of loving them.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
I know. It's so cute. See that's cool that you're
like in aspiring others, even me influencing.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Okay, do you have one? Do you have any like
fun comments from people recently?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
Well, you know how I did the like Saint Jude
fundraiser thing where I like was singing to people to
send videos.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
I'm still working on those videos. By the way, there
were a lot like God, because I need doing personalized
like thirty and so I'm kind of like personalizing them
to be like hey Katie, thanks for donating. But a
lot of the people that with their donation, they send
in notes and they were just like keep singing, like
I love the idea. Don't listen to lunchbox, Like you
(41:45):
have a beautiful voice. So like it's good to hear,
you know, because sometimes you just like lose sight and
I'm like maybe I am bad or you know, you
let that creep in and it's like it's nice to
hear people complimenting.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
I was gonna say you also, like thirty people donated
and did that because they wanted to hear you.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
There were a couple of fifteens, and I was like, oh,
they didn't want to hear.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Because I've made support you.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I made the amount twenty five. What if there would
have been like a twenty four dollar that might.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Have been more intentional. And also maybe the fifteens that's
just all they could afforded.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
No, I love the fifteen Yeah, you know what I
mean kind of kidding on that.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah, yes, but like you can't take that personally, because
I guarantee none of those was like that, right, Lunchbox
is in a category of his own, I know he is.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
It's just like positive compliments, you know, like even the
other day someone out like complimented my shoes or something,
and I was like, oh my god, that like made
my day. You know, we just we didn't think things
all the time, but we don't actually say it. And
I'm like, I want to start complimenting people.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
No, this is this is a thing. I did an
episode on my podcast with a guy named doctor Harry Cohen.
That's the right name. Why does that sound like a
famous person's name.
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Are you going wait hereicnic Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
No, it's doctor Harry Cohen. Okay. I was like, that
feels like a famous name right now, and he does
kind of have it. But he has a book called
Be the Sun Not the Salt, and so much of
it is about like literally just showing up every day
and just loving life and like complimenting people and wearing
a smile and it allows you to like feel better,
but also you're existing better in the world and in
(43:22):
turn making other people feel better about themselves. Yeah, but
it's a hard thing to do. Life's happening, you're busy,
and there's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I know, but I've been trying to like better. If
I'm like, oh, that girl's hair is so pretty, I'm
trying to like just vocalize it. It takes two seconds to say,
and she's like, oh my gosh, really, thank you. Like
people aren't used to get it because we're just so quick,
you know, like I'm getting my coffee. We're in and out,
but so people are just in their own world. But
if you just take five seconds.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
To exactly it's so important.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
I know.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
I love that you got all of those, though. I
hope the positive outweigh the negative because they often do.
As I said, when this segment happened, and lunch Box
is like, I see it all over, I'm like, I
don't know what you're seeing.
Speaker 2 (44:03):
I thank you for saying that. I mean, there are
a lot of like the sixty four like, it's right,
a lot of people there.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
It is also what's that saying opinions are like but
something else? There's another part of that. But everybody's got one. Yeah,
you know I'm talking about that. I do. It's one
of my favorite sayings. Is it's so true, right true.
Everybody has an opinion.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Yeah, which is fine. Doesn't mean it's right right, doesn't
mean you have to say it.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
That's so true.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Okay, but yourself. I'm just kidding.
