Can I Pull You For A Chat?

Hey everyone, I'm Morgan Stewart and welcome to the Morgan Stewart Show. I'm going to be talking about pop culture, fashion, my personal life, and just a warning I will be giving my opinions on everything. And those opinions are subject to change, okay? Now let's get into it. Okay, you guys were rolling. I officially got the word. I just want to say, first and foremost, that I was so excited to come in to do the pod alone today. I felt like I just wanted to have this sort of grounding experience and have this time for us to just connect, reconnect, chat about all the things. Typically I have like an immense amount of anxiety before I do the podcast for whatever reason, whether that's I'm talking to myself or I'm talking to a guest. I feel like my self-worth is in question a lot lately. Like I'm like, do people really care about what the fuck I'm talking about? I just feel like the world is really big. There's so much going on. There's so many people doing sort of the same thing that I'm like, well why would you tune in to me? And then I remember who the fuck I am. So I go in and out of that. Just so we're all on the same page. And today I was like really excited to come in and just sort of spew all the things that are on my mind and the things that I want to share with you. So this will probably go all over the place as it usually does. I do have notes in front of me that I already can't read and don't understand what I was talking about in half of them. But I feel like this would not be the Morgan Stewart show if I did not have things be slightly messy. So let's discuss what's taken place in the last two weeks. Cody, are you excited to talk about that? I'm excited. I'm scared. Yeah, we're all just like holding on for dear life. So we're recording this on a Tuesday typical Morgan Stewart. I always want to say Morgan Stewart sport guys it fucking kills me more than Morgan Stewart show records on Wednesday. As you know, I was leaving. I will get into why I was but I was supposed to be leaving town at the end of June for three weeks. As I told you I was going to do Switzerland alone with my mom and the kids Jordan was going to meet me. We were going to do a solo parenting trip with our friends and then I was going to go back to Switzerland and do another week with my kids. That has since changed and why that has since changes first I was going to record this episode last week and then. Unfortunately, Susan needed to be rushed to the ER and I was not sure if I was going to go into detail with you guys about sort of everything that has taken place over the last few weeks with Susan, but then I realize why else am I doing this show. I have no reason to be sitting here and sort of avoiding real life topics in my life. So as you know, my dad died October 2023 and then my brother unexpectedly passed away last July and going way back Susan has been dealing with an autoimmune disorder for as long as I've been basically alive that is not diagnosed they cannot figure out exactly what it is to the point where. When I was 11 she was misdiagnosed with MS and had to go on MS medications and got so sick on that medication that after taking it for like eight months my dad finally organized for her to go to the Mayo Clinic. She got to the Mayo Clinic and they were like you do not have MS you absolutely have to stop taking the medication before you get really sick and so since that has happened she's been dealing with these sort of like periodic I would say flare ups where she feels this like extreme. Burning sensation all like through her skull and all the way down her back where it's debilitating pain they don't know what it is there's some like vascular something going on and no one can like really pinpoint what it is. And as all autoimmune diseases happen they get exacerbated when you are dealing with an immense amount of stress Cody do you think that that's an accurate way to explain autoimmune hell. Absolutely yeah I go in there like what your stress level yeah you're like I'm running a life I'm like trying to pay bills I'm trying to like organize myself like any level of stress autoimmune does not like. So Susan has been feeling these symptoms has happened like six years ago when my dad was alive the last time and now obviously with everything that has gone on I think Susan has suppressed a lot of what has transpired in her life I mean she lost her husband to 40 years and then her only son unexpectedly passes away and I think she tried to truck through that and carry on as normal as best as she could and I think what's happening now is she is experiencing and we love her so much. And physical symptoms but also borderline some sort of I don't want to say psychotic break because she's not but she's having a she's extremely extremely fragile extremely fragile and all of the emotions that she suppressed throughout the last you know almost three years and specifically from last summer I think are bubbling up and bursting out of her and I'm dealing with a different woman right now she's staying with me. Because after the emergency room there was nothing wrong which is always so frustrating there isn't like you have this this and this and I mean I'm not going to go to into the details of her personal medical history she also asked me not to. But they couldn't keep her there because there was nothing wrong but she was a bit in coherent and disoriented and just really not feeling well so I had to spend the day in the ER and for me I was like my god like this is my you know last family member I didn't think it was going to get emotional so weird last family member and I'm like God you know we just have really been hit by this season of of difficulty and I think that's why I sometimes struggle with my purpose in doing this show and continuing to be in media because I think that I am trying to get back to a version of me pre my dad and the version of me that was like on nightly pop and that person is gone that she doesn't exist anymore I keep trying to like bro the canoe back do you know what I mean like I'm like well okay that happened that's a moment in time but like we're not we're not going to talk about that and deal with that like we dealt with that and the reality is you don't ever you don't ever fully deal with the immense loss that I have experience is forever changed me and it's something that I think I need to be a bit more welcoming about and a little bit more empathetic to myself about and I think what's happened is I've gotten some feedback because when you do press consistently to promote something a lot of the questions and subjects you're talking about are redundant and they're very similar and I've gotten feedback and I've even gotten to the point where I'm like okay I need to mention this stuff before anybody else does because I'm like we can't talk about the dead family anymore and we can't talk about how me and my husband got back together like I understand that but I am not going to rush myself or not talk about things that have impacted me and not only impacted me but have touched forever changed the DNA of the person I am to appease people if you don't want to listen to me talk about certain things don't listen to this fucking show it's not for you there's a million people that are talking about love Island there's a million people talking about whatever pop culture references that you want probably not as funny as I am but they're talking about it and I ran into somebody who I respect and admire and she was like you know I've listened to all the episodes and you just you're just talking about yourself too much and I really want to take a second to explain sort of the purpose of the Morgan Stewart show the Morgan Stewart show is about Morgan Stewart and Morgan Stewart's thoughts and feelings and opinions about every single thing going on including pop culture including fashion including myself and my life and I am from this moment on not going to censor myself in any way to appeal to other people and what I think they want to hear from me and the show as I pitched it to serious and all the other networks that I was talking to it was a show about me talking about whatever I wanted an extended necessary realness if you were there for that and I wanted to interview people close to me to showcase different sides of myself so I was like I want to talk to my husband I want to talk to my best friends I want to talk to my nannies I want to talk to maybe former teachers of mine are people that have been in my life that I respect and admire it wasn't always supposed to be celebrity centric because why am I adding the Morgan Stewart show to a sea of podcasts that are all talking about the same thing I don't necessarily want as I've said to you the same celebrity that every other podcast has had on doing their press run where you're we're all asking the same questions I wanted to provide a little corner of media for you guys to hopefully feel inspired by engage with scene by I wanted to bring something different to the market and over recent weeks you know I've gotten caught up in feedback and I've also gotten caught up caught up on sort of you know having guest after guests because it's definitely a grind to have a podcast and you need to make sure that you're maintaining relevance but also maintaining authenticity and today was really important for me to get in here and just be open with you guys about that and and explain like what what this show is and another thing that I want to say when we started the Morgan Stewart show I was offered by Sirius they were like and my agent they were like well everyone tests episode you can do testing and I declined that I am figuring out this show in real time with you guys I am not polishing it I'm not planning it yes we're making edits I don't want to make it seem like we're not like doing anything to the show and I'm delivering a raw product to you but there was an opportunity to make this show shiny and new and segmented out and so if you guys have ideas like this show is our show together send them to me I'm happy to credit you like we're figuring it out in real time and that is who I am and that is always who I have been and I was also thinking, 'cause obviously we had Hunter and Nina on and you guys love that. And I loved having them and I was so nostalgic and grateful and happy to have been with them. And also really reflective of my time at E and reflective of my time doing that show. And as of like the last three days and everything that's since happened again with my mom, I'm like, this is the time for me to do things by myself. I need to figure out who Morgan is on her own through this show and who I am now. Because again, it's like, don't talk about yourself that so much or don't talk about this that happened. It's like, well, these are, these are things that have happened to me that I'm now, there was pre-everything and there's post and the post is a different, is a different Morgan. I think because maybe a little tiny bit of lightness, is this dramatic Cody to say this? Like, a little bit of light within me has toughened or hardened, does that make sense? Yeah, absolutely. I think that's also like, I took quote, blank one or two growing up, right? Yes. Yes. I don't feel as sort of flighty and bubbly and I don't know. Like, light as I did and I think I need to just embrace this new version because everything is pretty much the same, but it's been jolted into a new reality and there's just more layers to who I am as a person and I'm trying to bring forth that version. I mean, I'm still having nightmares about the Roxy episode and I just want to say one last time about Roxy because I listened to the feedback about that and I'm not somebody that swayed easily. Like, I'm pretty rooted in myself, but I've been thinking about it so much because I do have obsessive thoughts. Roxy and I had such a magical friendship when we were friends that I really relied on the history of us to carry us through that conversation and that did not come alive in the way that I thought it was going to. So, and I realized that halfway through the episode, I was sort of losing my anchor and kind of just being like, but wait, but wait, and it was like, I needed to go into that a bit more prepared, a bit more guarded and a bit more just ready to like hit topics. That's the last mention of the Roxy episode I'll ever talk about Cody. I just wanted to bring that up one more time, okay? And another thing that I want to, as I ramble, I do want to say Susan is going to be fine. She's just in a really rough season and she, I'm happy she's now going to be taking the time to take care of herself and deal with just the immense grief that she has just postponed. So, we are not going to be going to Switzerland. I'm going to take a trip with Jordan alone for, I don't know, 10 days and that's it and my priority is my family and making sure that we're in a good spot. So, what I want to say is if you are somebody that is in a tough season in your life, I really encourage you to feel that, feel it as loudly as you possibly can because the body keeps score, man. And if you try to suppress any amount of tension, anger, stress, defeat, it just remembers for you and will come out in a different way. So if you need to scream, cry, hit a pillow, paint, I don't know, go to a shooting range, whatever it is, I really do encourage you guys to feel whatever you're feeling. And if you are in a tough spot with needing to have a difficult conversation or a stand-up for yourself at work or deal with a contract that I'm dealing with right now, you need to take time for yourself and make sure that you're making the best decisions for yourself because it is so fucking cliché. But life is short, it does not mean you're here tomorrow, it doesn't mean I could leave this building and get hit by a car, dark, but it's the truth. So I'm here to remind you of that and make sure that you are putting yourself first. And yeah, I didn't think I was going to be having one of these types of conversations so soon. I thought we were going to be talking about Love Island, which we're going to. We're going to talk about all the fucking things. But yeah, I just wanted to let you guys know where I was at. Okay, so let's move on. Let's do some lighter chat. I feel so good. I swear to God, this show has become my therapist, therapy. This is just random facts and then I want to get into some pop culture. You know what? I can't fucking stand more than anything in the entire world. I cannot stand when somebody sends you a formal email, but they're trying to be nice because it's the first time you've emailed and they're like XX at the end. I hate that. Wait, what? I fucking, that condescending mother fucking XX like I was emailing some girls a few weeks to go about like nothing important and they were like, hi Morgan blah, blah, blah, blah, XX and I was like, unless you're like British, you know, royalty of any kind or aristocracy, I don't want you to say XX to me. I don't like XX, I don't like exo, I don't like any of it. It drives me fuck, just say best or warmly or like, thank you so much or use an exclamation point like XX comma your name. It's not quirky. It's not quirky. It's not chic. It's not cute. It's not. It literally infuriates me. Like I guess that's in place of saying love so and so, but you're like, who says that? XX. Like XX. I put a dash in my name. Dash in your name. It's just like it's something that is just, I don't know, it's one of those things that was in my notes. It's just like a condescending little like I'm like, okay, you are not, you're not different by writing XX. So we don't need to see that. Okay, let's talk about off campus. I also, as I'm like reading through these notes, I do have to just get into that. I was, I went to my in-laws house two weeks ago because they were in town for something. And I was eating pistachios because my father and law always has pistachios on the counter. And he started talking to me like I have an MBA from Harvard. I have no idea what this man is saying to me all the time, but it's always like some smart shit. And he was basically explaining to me, I don't know if you've heard this, that pistachios and things that are taxing to eat, like they're more difficult and require more effort or high response, or high response foods. So anything that's high response that causes like causes you effort to eat are basically good for you. Yeah. Okay. So I was like chipping away at these fucking pistachios for 40 minutes, I was like, you know that's a high response cost food, I'm like, what? Like what do you mean? Like I don't even know what that means. You're supposed to work for your food basically. Yes. Yeah. And he was basically saying all low response foods are bad for you because you can like throw in a chicken nugget. You can basically like slam down a hot dog if you really want to, but things that take effort to get to are good for you. So that's my little like health tip of the day. Another funny thing is I was talking to my mother and law after we got into the high versus low response cost foods for like 40 minutes, I was like, I'm probably going to bring that about my podcast. He was, he came back, I was talking to my mother and law about like beauty treatments or something and then he interrupted and she's like, oh, um, you know, I'm just, I'm telling her something right fast. And the way she just slung around and looked at him like it's not your time to speak is just why I am obsessed with that woman more than any. I'm just, I got it. I'm telling her something right fast. Thank you. Like it was, she's like a human pistol. It's insane. Okay. Let's talk about love Island. Okay. I have to be honest. I hope you guys are watching love Island. Love Island is like me and Jordan's guilty pleasure. It is like one of those things that I am obsessed with and I am not really obsessed with anything else on television. Like I'm not like we watch whatever shows like on but we're not like those people that are like watching all the things and I have to say I was not thrilled with this cast at first. Like it's taken me the last three episodes to get into it. Cody has not seen an episode. Have you ever seen an episode? He's like, oh God. Okay. You have to watch it. It's amazing. And I just want to say, hopefully, no spoilers, but Kenzie, Kenzie's in the pink bikini, blonde in the pink bikini and Corbin, who's not in this original photo because we're looking at the original cast that came in. So what we're looking at right now, Cody, is the cast that arrived at love Island. Obviously, there's bombshells that come in. You get set up with different people. Like it is whoever came up with love Island is so brilliant because it is titillating. It's insane. Can you explain? I'm interested because I was getting fed a lot of stuff on Instagram. Like people who had been on the island and they were talking about being worried about kissing with bad breath and I'm like, I watched survivor and I'm like, can they not brush their teeth? What happens? Can you set up what the show is? So basically the show, and I mean, I will do my best because I'm like, you know, looking watching it through my phone. But basically it's a group of men and women that get brought to this house in the middle of wherever. I don't even know where they are. They're like in Fiji or something like that. And they couple up and then basically other people come in called bombshells, either men or women. And they go in and they basically get added in with the group. And like some people that were originally coupled up with other people get asked to leave. You have to do a bunch of challenges as a couple. Like it is a game show essentially. You have to win at the end. So whoever's the strongest couple wins, but America votes on everything. So America two weeks ago or two episodes again or wherever we are voted for a few of the couples to be shaken up. Couples that I thought were strong. So there was Melanie and sincere. Guys, Melanie is doing a lot. Melanie is gorgeous. Gorgeous. I mean, they're all fucking stunning. like watching these people it live in this house and just like look more and more beautiful every single day. That's Melanie. Like, what do you mean? Like, she just looks like that. That face is crazy. And she was sincere. I like them. But then I was like, no, Melanie is like a sweet girl. This is sincere. And they're not going to work out. So now sincere is coupled up with someone else. Coupled up with soul. Who is a bombshell? Who is not in the original, the original photo? And I think he's down first soul. I really do feel like they're well matched. And then there's Keta. So Keta and Zach together. Keta is one of those people that you're like, Oh, I don't know how God like had all that extra time. Like she's just one of those stunning, gorgeous. Like the faces gorgeous. Everything loved them. Kenzie and Corbin were a couple. They're like one of those couples that you watch and you're like, Oh, my God, the chemistry is palpable. Like it's like it radiates through the screen. America voted Cody that they had to be split up and be coupled up with other people. Corbin is not my typical type, but Corbin is a specimen. I mean, he is so stunning. The body is literally lights out. He seems like a pretty decent on a sky. And so he's coupled up with Melanie now. Kenzie's coupled up with Caleb. And poor Caleb is just like doing everything he can to make it work with Kenzie. And she is just basically snaking off and being obsessed with Corbin. And they just keep like making out in all of these different areas. And I just feel it's just that like chemistry, that sexual chemistry that you can't deny where they coupled before the show or where they can't see the couple up. They're all individuals. They go and they meet on the island. I love that you need to watch this show. It's like it brings levity and light through the darkest of times. In all of America's voting, their whole app crash last week because too many people voted and they had to delay basically sort of like the outcome of what was going to happen. I also heard the episodes are like come out right away. They cut their every single night except for Sunday or Saturday and Wednesday. It's honestly one of the best things on television. And Caleb is Southern, Kenzie's Southern, Kenzie's a former dancer. Like they really are on paper. Like they do have a lot in common. I really thought that maybe them being coupled up was like, good to bring something out of them. But poor Caleb is just waiting her to come back from making out with Corbin. And Melanie isn't sleeping. So this is the other thing I forgot to tell you, and you guys all know this, but I just want to know what you think about these couples. They all sleep, which I have so many thoughts about sharing so much communal space with people and never getting away. They all sleep in a room together. So the couples sleep in a bed together, obviously, and they all sleep in a line. Like the beds are lined up and they all sleep next to each other. So I just like often think about like what that room smells like and how disgusting inside the hotel, like not like a cabana. No, it's a house, but they share like one large bedroom and all the beds are next to each other. And they're just like having sex in there, making out in there, doing what I mean, it's just like it must feel and smell like hot air, like just disgusting. The boys have like a very small bathroom that they share. There's like one shower. There's essentially like no privacy. So Melanie and Corbin are coupled up. Melanie, who is with sincere, you following? There's a place called the hideaway or not the hideaway. Hold on. We're calling reinforcements. Hold on and see if he answers. What the fuck is it called? Oh, can you hear this? Hello? What is the place called on Love Island? I'm talking about Love Island now. Where they where Melanie's sleeping. I want to say I said the hideaway. It's not the hideaway. What's it called? She's sleeping alone. Oh, no. And what is it? What is it? What is it called? Oh, great. She's out. Yeah, it's right on the tip of my tongue. As soon as we hang up, I'll remember it. Okay, cool. So we can put it in next week's episode then. No, it's no, I'm going to think of it. I just looked at it. It says the hideaway. No, it's not the hideaway. It's like a it's like a no, it's like okay. Oh, soul ties, soul ties. Soul ties. Okay. It's soul ties. Bye. Love you. Bye. Do we go to soul ties? Yeah. Oh my God. He this is what's Corbin. Do Corbin's voice. Can I get a kiss? I forgot what our kiss goes like, can I get another kiss? Okay. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. So that's how Corbin talks. He literally asks everybody for a kiss. So Melanie and Corbin are are in a couple and Melanie because she is friends with Kenzie is not sleeping in the bed with Corbin. She's sleeping in soul ties, which is this sort of like outdoor, like lower sort of what's like when you're like, oh my God, you guys, I can't think today. What is it when you're in a pit when it's like low to the ground? A semi-sunk in conversation pit area in the villa. That's what it is. Oh, the villa. I know. It's a called a villa, but it's a house. So there's this like, sunk in conversation pit area, as you just said, and you can sleep in there if you don't want to sleep in the bedroom. It is outside. So Melanie has been sleeping there. And as of last night Corbin, he started out the episode of not kissing Kenzie. And then he ended up kissing Kenzie, which is what she wanted. She needed that validation. But he did not kiss Kenzie at first because he wanted to be respectful of Melanie and the new couple that they've entered into. But then Melanie still slept outside. So Corbin's kind of like, how are we going to get closer if you're sleeping outside? So then I realized they're all 22 years old. And they really just all want to sleep with each other. And like we're talking about something as though it's like very serious. And it's just not what do they win at then? Is there like a big like pot of money? What is the point of like when money? So America needs to first of all like vote for you to win. But there is a cash prize at the end. And you can either choose to split it with your partner or keep it. But yes, there's a cash prize. You win. And then everybody becomes obsessed with you. It's like a real commitment. And like, yes, you can brush your teeth to go back to that. But you're making out with so many people all day long and you're living in this villa. And you can basically be in a couple with somebody. But the whole point is to explore. So if you they call pulling pulling chat. So if you want to like pull somebody for a chat, Corbin can be talking to Kenzie and Melanie can come up, which is all the girls do this crazy ass shit where if you're coupled up with a guy and he's like being open with you and saying, Oh, well, I want to explore with Tiffany or whoever comes in. And then they go do that. The person that coupled up with halfway through the conversation comes in and is like, can I pull you for a chat? Like these girls get crazy. Like there's no chill. I was saying to Jordan last night, if I was on love Island and I was coupled up with a man and he was saying to me, look, I really like you, but I want to explore Tiffany again. I don't know why Tiffany's the word I'm the name I'm using today. If I want to explore Tiffany, there is not a shot in fucking hell. I'm going to go interrupt my my couple with Tiffany to say, can I pull you for a chat? I'm going to let him do whatever he wants. And if he's, if I'm important enough to him, then he'll come back. Okay. So I'm going because I watched survivor. And so this is the end. Well, then you need to go into it going like this is the game. It's very much that. But people fall, it depends on how you your experience. Like I think everybody that I've seen so far minus maybe one, they really do want to find love, but of course they want to win in the end. I mean, they're all like again, 22 to 29 years old. They're all incredibly gorgeous. They all get to sleep and hook up with each. I mean, they all get to make out at their own free will as much as they possibly want. Like it's a dream situation to be in at that age. The prerequisites are be hot, be horny. Be hot. Be horny. That's what it is. Be hot. Be horny. We'll cast you and be open for this experience. And it's really what America needed right now because we're obviously in such a divided time. It really is like bringing the people together. That and the nicks. I'm talking about the nicks. Like they're the fucking lakers. Like obviously I'm from Los Angeles, but the nicks really, what did they do? They brought us back. I think it's weird. I think it's fun to get behind a team. I'm calling myself a real sports guy lately. Oh, are you a real sports guy? It's fun to get. I'm from LA too. Like Dodgers, the lakers, I guess I have to like because you know, you can't wait there. I mean, and they were amazing for a long time. Yes. But it's fun to watch a team that hasn't won in forever, like, break through. And I say this is like, I mean, I know the Dodgers are the evil empire right now. Why? I don't even know. We just spend so much money on players that they might put a salary cap in. But we gotta know that now your team isn't like winning for so long. And there's good players. There's like, it was exciting watching New York be so excited. But I was out at a friend's house, hard to park at their house and silver lake. All the bars people were going crazy. Crazy. No, and I have to say, well, first of all, just to pause on the lakers, like we had Kobe Bryant. That's like having Michael Jordan. Like that is the craziest thing that we had the best player literally of all time. Well, we had Kobe and Shaq together. The Kobe and Shaq. I know my husband is very like Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all time. And there's no comparing. But I think Kobe is a close second. And I have to say, like, the nicks have not, you said they haven't won in a long, they haven't won in 53 years. I think Rich, maybe is it 1979 or 1973? I'm mixing up. I'll look at it. It's 53 years, right? 73. Yeah, 71. It's 73. They won. So 53. Is that 53 years ago? Yeah, I can't do math. Like I can't, by the way, hello. I was like, I was going to ask chap on my internet's down. So, and what I loved is like for a team like New York to take it, the sense of community, the fact that everybody is in the streets watching this together is why New York probably is like the best city in America, even though we love and we live in DIA and L.A. like we are such an isolated city. Because you go to your house and you don't leave it, you have people there, like if you are not a part of a community that is inviting you to a certain location, you're not really amongst the people. I mean, I'm in this serious building right now, there's like six people in this building, like it's vacant in New York. It would be buzzing. But then also, we're in our cars singularly. This is not my topic. And it's like the city of New York, they're riding the subway together. They're talking together. They're in it together. They're walking. They are talking. I was thinking the other day how I can literally go three days and speak to like my one friend on the phone. I am singularly in the car all day long like I'm going through my whole day by myself, which is also I think a difference in how I am now versus how I was pre sort of hiatus nightly pop. Like I just there was so much more community, more people around and it's sort of nice to have these things where you feel connected to other people at this point. Yeah. And it's fun. Like I just, like I don't watch basketball as much. I feel like I should. But then it was like fun being able to talk to people at my front is having a party, need people there. I didn't know. But it's something that you can just, it's an ice break. It's the best. It's the best. And we're talking about we watch it. We're like, wow, this is so great. It was just a fun thing. And you're immediately connected with people. So to your point, yeah, it's like that's the community aspect of can't believe I'm saying this sport. No sports. It's true. And I have to say like, even for me, like I get invited to a million things and sort of the like initial reaction is this like heavy feeling of like, I'm really not going to want to go to that or I'm really just going to want to get in bed with my husband and just like watch TV and relax and like, you know, save my energy for the next day. And as of lately, I have really come to the realization that I am a social being and I need to put myself in situations that even though I'm exhausted, I have to push through because I always feel better after I've gone for at least an hour. I see somebody I haven't seen in a long time. I run into somebody I wouldn't have run into. I mean, even spoiler alert, but like I went to the ARMS show, which I love, but like I still had a full day at a podcast. I was really tired. Like it's a lot of effort to kind of go to this stuff. Um, I ran into Chloe Feynman and she's coming on the show. I mean, hopefully she doesn't cancel, but she's coming on the show. And it's just, it's always nice. That's another thing that I want you to take away from today's episode. Like put yourself in situations that don't always necessarily, I mean, not that they shouldn't feel bad. But anything that you're sort of on the fence about and if it's due, if you're on the fence about it due to laziness, go unless you have to like get up at six o'clock in the morning because I also think when I was doing nightly pop, when I was doing daily pop, when I was doing that whole time at E, I never went anywhere at night because I had to be up at 5.15 every morning. And that was at a period in my life where I had no husband. I had no children like the world was really my oyster. And I look back and think I kind of should have pushed myself more to be social engage and just further relationships because there is going to be a period in your life where like, you know, things come before you right now. I'm in a season where I obviously have two small children. And my morning starts out with them sometimes hitting each other or scratching each other or they want to share a toy like the nervous system is at such a high state so early that if you're not in that season in your life, you should really enjoy it to the nth degree as much as you possibly can. You know, Morgan, have you seen, I know World Cup's going on, I know the traffic is fucking crazy. It's crazy, but I'm sort of jealous that LA doesn't have this vibe either in Boston. There's a whole bunch of Scottish people that have taken over the city and they went to a red socks game at Fenway and they brought a vibe that is like, they're singing every song. And like, we don't have that at Dodger Stadium. We don't have that vibe. And I'm like, they're bringing like a total community over. Well, also like European sports fans, like they're quirky. They're like so on top of it. It's really just that's that is what I am seeking. I am seeking community, I am seeking meaningful relationships, I am like seeking light and happy. And I think this has been a theme on the show with all the guests that we've spoken to. It's it's like I sometimes feel like I'm unattainable to people to to strike up real relationships because they don't view me as being a real person. And I don't say that like from an arrogant standpoint. Like I am so normal, but yet I lately felt more isolated and people like approach me like I am like maybe not normal or not like they could never be friends with me. Even moms at my kids' school, they're kind of like, oh, but you have all this stuff. And I'm like, what? You know what I mean? This sports theme is really what's parking up for me that I sort of got this show as like therapy. Oh my gosh, you're a sports guy now. I'm literally a sports guy now. So have you heard of this bare nail trend? Is this different than like? It's so what it is. It's so what it is. It's like a bare. Yeah. So basically I said on rich kids and it is like hot, not haunted me, but become like the most famous line. I said, if you don't have your nails done, it looks like you have dirty underwear on, which is something my mom used to say to me when I was a kid. She did not mean your nails needed to be painted or manicured. She just meant they can't have chipped nail polish because it just sort of gives this look and feel that you're like uncapped. I said that on rich kids, this is, this has followed me now for 12 years because rich kids last aired or 10 years ago, started 12 years ago, ended 10 years ago, which is insane. So now there's basically this trend that's happening where the girls are anti manicure and they're not getting their nails done anymore. And somebody was like, I really need to hear you speak about this. And for me, I want to go and say like the true fashion girls, the girls that were working at Vogue, the girls that were working at Vanity Fair and all these like fashion publications over in the 90s, those girls were never getting their nails done. They always just had had bare clean nails and like some of them maybe did their nails. So to kind of go into this trend now where it's like, oh, you know, it's not chic to get your nails done or like, you know, for me, it was never about having them painted. It was always just having them look clean. I am a girl, personally, that doesn't like to jump on trends because when anything is so fast and ferocious and trend driven, I just see it go up like a rocket and just I immediately just see it coming back down right before it's over. So I like to remain steadfast in who I am in my opinions and decisions while evolving at a healthy rate, I am somebody that is forever going to get my nails done and going to probably have color on my nails. It makes me feel more put together. I also feel like these trends come in so fast. So going. It just takes two people to say like have a strong opinion and it's sort of like, we don't need to follow everybody's personal opinions. We don't need to follow everything for everybody. And I got myself caught up in that like the Olsen twins, for example, Bible, they haven't gotten their nails done in 15 years. Like they're maybe they're buffing them out. Like there are girls that don't get them. If you're a girl that gets your nails done and you like that, continue to get your nails done. The only thing I would advocate for is just like, not chipped nails. That's really all I would say. But also like bare nails versus manicures. I'm assuming most like Olsen twins are getting manicures or just not painting. So we could be very, I think, clear on with that. Totally. The true fashion girl at Vogue, probably not even getting a manicure, probably just like clipping and filing her nails herself, which very chic. And I guess my purpose in saying this is like, if that's who you are, great. If you were now like, oh, I'm not chic because I have red nails, no, wear those red nails probably. I've had red nails now for the last five months. I'm just red nails, red nail girl. Red nails to me are so classic and so chic and it like looks good on everyone. It does. And it's fun. So through phases where I'm like picking the same color for like months. I mean, before it was like, I had the same color on for a year. Okay. I can't finish this episode without talking about off campus. You guys this episode, this series has just like brought me much like Love Island to like such a place of euphoria, which by the way, we'll talk about euphoria next time because like that ending to me was like so crazy. Like, why did we invest all our time in that show if like it was just going to end like that? Anyway, we have to talk about off campus. Cody, I assume you have not seen off campus either. I watched the first episode because everyone, my interns have been talking about it. So I know the interns, the interns are how old are the interns? They're 20 both 20. I think one's freshly turned 21 soon. You guys off campus has brought me so much happiness and joy. I've first of all been, I don't know how you only watched one episode and didn't watch all of them. It is obviously like a terrible show, but it is the best show at the same time. Like the tension, the vibes, the situation between Hannah, Wellesie, whatever, and Belmont get. I mean, Garrett Graham is basically what we always to happen at some point in our lives. Or another like it is so good. The layered complexities between these characters, he's just like hot people hooking up and making out and like the tension that builds, like they're not together. Are they going to be together? They break up. They get back together. It's basically just like the happiest. It reminds you of like the happiest time of your life, right? It is very low stakes. It's so low stakes. Yeah, why it's fun to watch and yes, there's, you know, they're getting a little nudity in there. You're getting some tits. You're getting some tits in there. You're getting a lot of just sort of like gyrating and things happening. And what I like is like if they don't spend too much time on the drama, like things It's like, like Garrett, for example, is like really nice too. and they have their moments, but I just feel like the whole thing is just so cheesy, but so good, and I am so signed up. And I have to say, when I looked up Garrett Graham, and I found out his name was Bill Montgomery, I was like, I'm going to have to sit with that for a few days. But he does a great job. Everybody does a great job. Allie, who play, like, I just think the cast is really well cast. And who's the other guy? Stephen. Stephen, who's hooking up with Allie in the show? They're the second couple. So Allie is obviously Wellesie's best friend. And then Stephen's Garrett's best friend. And those two are like, usually the second couple in a show like that is not as interesting. And we kind of just have to pass the time. Their sexual chemistry and tension with one another is pretty off the chart. So I highly recommend you watch the rest of the episodes. The character Allie is so pretty. And she's such a good actor that I'm like, I wonder if she was up for the role of Wellesie because she's just so good. Yeah, I think potentially, but like everybody landed with her where they were supposed to land. But yeah, I'm happy we have these shows right now. I am so happy that I got to have this time with you guys. Again, this show is going to shape in form week after week. So if there are certain things that you want me to speak about, or you have segment ideas, I mean, we don't really need full-on producer segment ideas. But if you want to throw them our way, we will obviously try to our best to incorporate them. So I think that's it for now, right?
