Scuba Steve joins Morgan on The Bobby Bones Show's Best Bits segment to answer listener questions about his career transition from LA to Nashville, his engagement ring, and theme park recommendations. The hosts discuss financial responsibility in relationships, career growth, and share detailed insights about Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure rides and dining.
Insights
- Financial prudence in major life purchases (rings, weddings) is a relationship value that should be discussed early and honored throughout partnership planning
- Career advancement often requires geographic relocation and lifestyle trade-offs; willingness to move for opportunity can accelerate professional growth
- Theme park loyalty and repeat visits create deep institutional knowledge that becomes valuable content and community engagement
- Scamming and phishing have become sophisticated enough that unsubscribing from malicious emails can compromise personal accounts; deletion is safer than engagement
- Cost of living disparities between major metros (LA vs Nashville) significantly impact family planning and quality of life decisions
Trends
Podcast hosts leveraging personal life milestones (engagements, relocations) as relatable content for audience engagementGrowing sophistication of email-based phishing and social engineering attacks targeting unaware usersTheme park annual passes and loyalty programs driving repeat visitation and expert-level content creationYounger generations prioritizing experiential spending (travel, theme parks) over traditional material goodsRemote work and geographic arbitrage enabling career professionals to relocate for better quality of lifeFinancial transparency in relationships becoming normalized topic in mainstream media and podcastingIndoor theme parks (Dubai, Mall of America) emerging as alternative entertainment destinationsInternational theme parks (Japan Disney) offering significantly lower admission costs than US counterparts

This is an I Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. It's listener Q and A time where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions. What's up friends? Happy weekend. Scooby Steve joining me. What's up? What's up? It's best bits time. It is. I got a phone. Someone's calling me. Is that a scammer? What's find out? Oh boy. Sunshine State. This is the cleaning experts. Did you know the EPA recommends you clean your air ducts at least once every three years? Press three now to speak to one of our courtyards. Don't press three. Is he talking to them? No. No? You don't think so? No. Well, they're talking to people from Florida. The sunshine expert did not get the call that you moved to Tennessee several years ago. Yeah. Leave the hidden dangers living inside your hangout. Hangout, bother. What do I press to not talk to them though? Just hit hint. In the... But he's still talking. Just in the... How do I shut him up? But I wanted him to keep calling me though. I was calling three. But what do you press to not talk to them? Just block the caller. Just in the... But he doesn't give you an option to not talk to them. Exactly. Just hit end. Hit end. How do I not talk to you? Just hit end. I'm at zero. Oh boy. No. Just hit end. And block the call. Oh, now I press zero and they're supposed to go away. You're not listening on purpose. I know, but I said three to talk to them. Zero wasn't the option. I figured zero was the one to go with. Oh my gosh. Hey, I saw the option for three to talk to you, but I pressed zero. I was hoping that was the option to not talk to you. But I guess it still talked to you. Okay, you have to press nine. Yeah, press nine to be removed from the list. Sorry to bother. It's all good. There's nine. So much chaos. How do I get signed up for this crap? Probably. And this is why I went through. I went and like scrubbed my email of everything that I was attached to. It was like, unsubscribe, unsubscribe. Yes. I was like, go and manually unsubscribe from so many things. So I did that. And then I got part of a scam because then I had these emails of like these like, I won't say where they're from, but it was like these nasty, like hateful emails. And I was like, I don't want to see this crap. I don't want to see this negative rhetoric of what's happening in our country. I don't want it. I don't want it. So I hit unsubscribe, but that unsubscribe was actually a malicious link that then hacked my Google account. And so for a whole month, I was dealing with all this crap of someone trying to, from somewhere in Richmond, Virginia, hacking my Google, calling me, like, I would get these fake calls from a Google number and it wasn't really Google. And it would say someone's trying to get in your account at Google over in Richmond and then I went and talked to the woman or the, and then I got transferred. I actually post this on my Tik Tok at Instagram of talking to the scammer and I talked to him for a really long time. And then eventually like, you should really, really, if you haven't seen it, it's actually pretty good. I think I saw one clip of you doing it. You were like confronting the scammer. Yeah. I did it in three parts. Cause then the third part was when I actually talked to the guy and then he was like, Oh, okay, Mr. Steven, nice try. And I was like, nice try. What? And he was like, nice try. You've been on the phone with me for 18 minutes. He's like, you're wasting my time. I was like, no, no, no, no, wait a second here. I was like, you're wasting my time because you're a scammer. He's like, I'm not a scammer. I'm trying to help you get your Google account back yet. I was like, you do not work for Google. I was like, where are you at in San Francisco? He's like, I'm not, and I'll be with this whole thing. And I was just like, this is such a bunch of, but I found out when I talked to somebody who actually worked at Google, he's like, well, the problem was we found that you clicked unsubscribe and that unsubscribe from that malicious email, then took your information. I was like, well, how do you unsubscribe from these? He's like, you have to just keep deleting them. He goes, you can't unsubscribe from some of these. It's such a crap. Hey, this is why you should go listen to part one. Cause we talked about how everything's a scam. Yeah, it is. It really is. I just kind of want to throw all this crap away and live off the grid. Okay. We can do that. We can go hang out with my grandma. She does that. God, I would love to do that. All right, Michelle, Apple Valley. She said, yes, my two faves are back. Everything is right again. Apple Valley, what a girl. How you doing? And then we've got, yes, my faves, scoops from Michelle, not Michelle. I was looking at Michelle and Apple Valley. Who's this from? Nicole. Nicole. Sorry, Nicole. Shout out. All right. How does it feel working in country music when you're more of a rock guy, Katie in Georgia? Yeah, never. I mean, I don't mind country music because I listened to like little bits of it here and there growing up as a kid. But it wasn't like my, oh, I can't wait to go to a country show or I can't wait to get in the car and turn on a country radio station. So, so for me, it was never a thing. Like, I know you love country music and you grew up on it. It was like a whole thing for you. Me was hip hop, pop, rock, but I like everything though. Like, I don't want another person that like is turned off by anything. Like I'll even listen to instrumentals or like Beethoven and weird crap or like TV show theme songs. Like I like everything. I'm the same way. I love all of it. Yeah, I'm everywhere. I'm beside scream out. That's where you get me. I scream on all sides. Like, so I like everything. I just of all list countries at the very, very, very bottom. And so for me was never when I took this job, it wasn't about country. I took this job because of the show, what it was needing. And I fulfilled or what are the word I'm looking for? I fit in with what was needed for the show at the time. I'm a fixer. I like to come in and fix things. And there were some systems that were in place that either didn't exist or needed some desperate help and needed some guidance and some, some assistance for the nicest way to put it. And so I had to come in and help fix the problems that never that they just didn't need somebody that came from somewhere else and could give the knowledge. Sorry, I'm so distracted by a ring. It's a massive. I haven't seen your ring. And I look down, I'm like, holy crap, that's a fricking huge diamond. I've seen it like in a picture, but I don't think I've ever seen it like in person. You want to see it? You sit in another, you sit in another studio and I sit in the glass box of Ray and Abby, and so it's always far away. But like now you're like, you have your hand like it's almost like, look at my ring. I wasn't dry. He's huge. Oh my God. Over your existing. Yeah. Well, I've seen Abby's because she's close to mine. Hers is like modest and like normal and yours is like huge. I feel like mine's date tea on the band and stuff. Hands small, but the ring is but the diamond's not everything. When we did go looking at rings, everything made my hand. Everything looked big on my hand because I have very little hands. So maybe perspective wise, that could be like a half care, but on your hand, it looks like four carrots. No, I think I think it's three. Three. I said four and you're like, no, no, I was thinking like, oh, no, it's one. And like it's three, which is basically four. You can be a bash one shy of a holy crap. That's a huge ring. Yeah. I literally was just, I have to hold on because I fall down with chairs a lot. You fall down because your hand weighs so much. Now you got four kids on your hand. Sure. In little and like I crap, yo. OK, that's a really nice ring. Thank you. I can play with what I was talking about because that thing is like massive. OK, you did. You are more of a rock guy, I guess. There it is. Holy Christ, anyone else reacted the way I had when they saw like Jesus Christ, Morgan, no, I mean, it weighs more than you. She pretty. He did really good. It's awesome. I think it's great that you should never feel bad or bashful or weird about it. Like that's amazing. The fact that, you know, you got that. That's awesome. We bought our ring at Costco. It was like a half a carrot, but we were also like hella broke. I was like 24 or five or whatever when I got it. That's a massive ring. Holy crap. That's like JLo status. For sure JLo is like 20 carats. Yeah, I know. But like in our world, it's like perspective. It's JLo status. Yeah, no, he did really good. I really love it. He did. So I was so thrown off. I'm like, whoa, I kept looking in your hand like Jesus, that's a huge ring. Good for him, dude. He's awesome. Like how much did you spend? I don't know, like a whole year's salary. He had been saving for a while. I can tell. Yeah, he has. Yeah, he really has. He's been saving for a while. Oh my goodness. Anita wants to know how many radio shows are you on? Oh man. Not as many carrots as Morgan has. Are you done? I didn't even bring up anything about it. You couldn't because like your hand was like wafting around in the air. And it's like sitting on my laptop. Yeah, but like you can barely hold your hand up. Like it weighs so much. That is an awesome ring. OK, sorry, sorry. I know I'm making you like a bashful. Like you shouldn't be embarrassed by it. You shouldn't be bashful. It's an awesome ring. It's not you. It's that everybody loves to have 80 million opinions on everything on the internet. My opinion is it's awesome. Thank you. It's amazing. You should be like, like that's a nice ring. He did really good. Yeah, he did. Like now how do you like top that with the band? Like because usually like I feel like for us, like the engagement ring was like kind of like it was nice, it was fine. We got it at Costco. We went to the actual Costco number one. Oh, where's? Kirkland. Kirkland, Kirkland, Washington, which is why everything's Kirkland. Oh, God, I did not realize that. So it's in Kirkland, Washington. And we were both were like massive. She'd been going to Costco since she was like a child. So like, oh my God, it'd be so cool. And we're like, she's like, just buy me a ring at Costco. Because Costco also doesn't, you know, mark up their stuff when it comes to diamonds and jewelry, they kind of are at where they should be. Like almost like a dealer price. And she's like, just buy whatever ring. And then when we get married, though, I want really nice bands. So the bands that I got are, I got her two bands that go on each side. The bands cost like way more than the actual engagement ring, which I'm sure at some point down the line when we're like, you know, older and have a ton of money, like you and your boyfriend or fiance, well, I'll upgrade her diamond in the middle. Here, Vets. One day when I'm you. Is that true? You also have how many kids? I have three kids. Yeah. But back then I didn't know, but I also was like, I was like, I worked in San Francisco and I got paid nothing. I got paid like, yeah. You were also in your 20s. We're in our 30s. Exactly. Life's a lot different. I'll just give you a hard time. No, you were honestly like on the real, real who cares that anyone says about it. If you like it, that's important. If he's proud of giving that to you, that's another thing. And you guys are happy as a couple. It's like, wouldn't anyone can say whatever they want. F them. They're not your relationship. They're not you. Who cares what they say and what they think. You like it and makes you happy. I saw, even though I called it out, it's still, you still smiled because you know it's a nice ring. It is. It's really pretty. So screw anyone else and what they think and their idea of it because, because you like it and that's all that matters. But God, even when you hold it down, it's like a lizard hanging on your hand. It's so huge. You know, it's funny though. I did tell him one simulation, which is why he was saving like early on. I'm, I'm not shy about financial stuff. Like my parents really like ingrained a lot of like financial conversations in me. But you should though. Very much a resource I was thankful for. And they like, when we were early in dating and even the conversation talking about marriage, I was like, it's very important to me that I do not go in debt for a wedding. I do not go, you don't go in debt for buying a ring. Like there, it, nothing is worse going into debt to me. And that's always the case. So that was like my stipulation with, with him whenever he was going to propose, if he wanted to propose, I guess those real conversations started happening, especially when we were looking at rings. I was like, you're not going into debt to get me something. That's not how this is going to work. Like I don't want that. I want us to be happy. I want this to be something that you love, that you create, that you think like symbolizes our relationship and the love that we have for each other. And if you go into debt, it's not worth it to me. At the end of the day, it isn't. And so he didn't, and unbeknownst to me before we even went ring shopping, he was saving and he was already planning for that to come. But it was, that was a very, very big conversation we had because I just don't, I, I'm still that way. Even like wedding planning. I don't, I don't want a big wedding. I want a small, I would elope if our parents wouldn't be angry. So I can't do that. Yeah, they want to be part of it. Yeah. Yeah. Um, are you traditionalist or like your, your dad pays for it kind of thing or how's that going to work? That's the other thing is like, I've been saving because I don't want my, my parents to be. Okay. That's cool. I just don't like I, but I also just don't want to spend insane amounts of money anyway. Yeah. So I, I want us to get married in the mountains, very small, like maybe just a family only type ceremony and then have a party here or something. But I'm just not none of that. Like I see people spending insane amounts of money and it blows my mind. Yeah. It really, yeah. Like a friend of mine, he got married to kind of like the mountains. It was big sir. So over there on the California coast, but it was only, it was like a really small, like 20, 30 people. It was like his like really, really, really good friends and family. And that was it. And we all stayed in little cabins on big sir, rich point. I forget what it was called, but it was so cool. And I mean, it costs a little bit of money. It wasn't, it wasn't cheap, but it also wasn't like a hundred thousand dollars. If he would have invited his entire group of friends and family and stuff. Yeah. So yeah. And it was beautiful and it was intimate and it was in the mountains. It was so cool. And yeah, yeah, I recommend you do something that you want to do, not what society wants you to do. I know. And it's hard. Heck, you even look at venues and they're, it's $20,000 to run a venue. Just a venue. Yeah. And I just, that's insane to me. Yeah. There's beautiful nature everywhere. What are we doing? Yeah. So yeah. No. Anyways, I digress. Yes. Yeah. Move on. How many radio shows are you on? Anita would like to know. I guess just Bobby's show and my show. That's it. Got your two shows. Whenever I do best bits. So three shows. You got three. Do you still do the weekend like you were doing something on I Heart Radio for a while? Like channel. I Heart 90s. Yeah. That was afternoons and I Heart 90s. Did you pick that back up? No, I stopped doing that because I was then focused on the rock thing. It was good to kind of like, it was like a way to get me back into doing solo radio. So it was great. It was fun. The music was so much fun. It was nineties, you know, pop rock alternative. So it was a fun station. It got my chops back going and doing radio again. But I did it for like six months and then maybe four or five months. I don't know. It wasn't that long. And then I started to get working towards this rock thing because of the Heart 90s, but I just don't have time to do multiple, you know, yeah, different kinds of shows. Yeah, you got two already. Yeah, two is enough. And I'm working on making that rock show, being other markets with just that. So that's the goal of taking that one show and expanding it into other places. I believe in you. Yeah. Thank you. Laura and Albert Kirk, you want to know how did you come to be on the Bobby Buncho? I came to be. So I was the shorthand version of it. I was in LA working with Ryan Seacrest. And one day I was at an event called Wango Tango, which was local, but it was the first year it was national. And so one of my other jobs, I guess, going back to the last question, not a show, but one of my other jobs is I go and do all of our company's tentpole events. So like alter ego is just there recently for in LA for it's like the rock show. We go to country fest because of where I'm at now. I do Fiesta Latina in Miami, which is like the Latin pop big show. We do the festival in Vegas. What else is there? There's the I heart awards that come up every year in LA. So I also am part of that broadcast team where we do the behind the scenes interviews and put that whole thing together. And so I was at Wango Tango and doing that was the first year it was a national show. So I was working there and working with Seacrest and I was talking to some people that I work with in management at Premier. And I was like, Hey, no, just I think I'm, you know, I want a nut. I'm looking for something else in the company. Like I love this job and working with Ryan's frickin amazing. It's it's so surreal to have to have Ryan Seacrest know who I am and like talk to me. And I'm like, Oh my God, this is frickin Ryan. It's Ryan Seacrest. But then eventually becomes like he just he just Ryan, but it's still a little bit in your back in my like, Oh my God, this is Ryan Seacrest talking to me right now. So I didn't I didn't want to think I was ungrateful for the opportunity. But I was like, I want like more responsibility. I wanted I wanted like the next step. I've always been that way in my career of like, I want more, I want more. I want to keep moving up the ladder and and do whatever. And then also I just had our first kid and we're living in LA and we live in a townhouse in the valley and there's no yard and I feel like guilty, you know, raising my kid without some sort of space. And I knew I wanted more kids and I know I couldn't afford more kids in LA. Just because the cost of living was so high. I got paid nice. So I had a good salary. My wife had a good salary. She was working the toughest part was she just got a cool job because I told her she left finance and I was like, you should we live in LA, dude. Get like a fun entertainment job. You know, we live here. I don't know how long we're going to live here for, but get like a cool, fun job. And so she went and applied for a job at Universal and she worked with the executive that handled toys and branding, which is the coolest one. So it's all like she got a lot of like the prototype toys of when they were coming out with dress business back when Jurassic World was about to come out. So she'd come home with all these cool prototype toys and and she got to work the Universal a lot. Her boss, it was like a really cool experience. And I felt bad because like four or five months into it, I was like, hey, so, you know, we talked about like getting a new job or a different job. She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, well, um, uh, I think I got it. And it's in Nashville and she's like, oh my God, Nashville. So we have to move. And I was like, yeah. And she just got this job and she liked her boss and her boss loved her. And I felt bad. I said, but I'll have to take it though. Cause I know you see, you like this and you seem really happy. And she's like, no, no, no. I was just that we want to build a family and do more. Let's go for it. And even in that moment, they were like, it was either New York or Nashville. And I was, I'll take whatever, but New York would have maybe not been the best cause it wouldn't have checked the family box in the city. I guess unless, unless we moved to Jersey or something, but I would have made it work. And by then Nashville just seemed like it's made more sense for us. And I was like, ah, let's explore the Nashville one. Like, all right, cool. Sweet. And they're like, it's forgot any Bobby bones. Like, I don't, you don't really know. I was like, I just want to move somewhere and they're like, all right, cool, whatever. So then I came out here and I think you were here, right? Yeah. And I came out here that one time. Yeah. I get why I first met them. I met somebody somewhere. I forget where I think it was Bobby somewhere. And then I came out here and met you guys and then I hung out for like a day or two. And then I flew out and then then I saw Bobby that festival of 2019 in September. He said, I guess, he goes, I guess we're dating now. I was like, what? And I was like, he was like, and then I was like, oh, I guess. And then he's like, yeah, I think it's going to happen. I was all right, cool, sweet. And then I was all right. This is great. He was nice to me. He said, we should follow each other on Twitter. And I was like, okay. And so we follow each other on Twitter. And that was how the relationship started. That's funny. So yeah, it was like one of those things where I just was looking for something else and looking for more of a challenge and they explained what the show needed. And I was like, oh, it's a fun challenge. I want to be able to come in there and work on that and do that. And Nashville, I never knew anything about it. I spent less than 48 hours here. This is pretty cool. It's a smaller city, but it seems like it's up and coming. And I was like, this is I could see myself living out here. The cost of living was way cheaper than LA. So it just made sense. And so yeah, we moved to here and here we are six years later. Now you're still here. Yeah. Speaking of before we're going to do this quickly before we go into the break. What do you miss about California? Vanessa from Monterey. Monterey. You live Monterey. You know why I miss California. If it's the Monterey I'm thinking, right? Is it Monterey, California? Yeah, I assume she just says Monterey. Well, you know, what's her name? Melissa. Vanessa. Vanessa. Sorry. Melissa's from Apple Valley. Yeah. Yeah. Michelle. Michelle. Oh my God. Also an M. Oh, long, long week. Vanessa. Yep. You know why I miss California. But for everyone else who doesn't know why I miss it, because she lives in freaking Monterey, like, like she knows why I miss California. The place is beautiful. You're right on the ocean. Like you're that's the biggest thing is the ocean. Yeah. I miss the ocean. I miss being near my wife's family because we had we had help, which was nice because we have, you know, having kids that takes a village and right now we're all by ourselves. So I did a top three. It'd be I was too top four. Ocean, being near family, recreational marijuana and access to like everything that you can do and see anything and everything in California. Whereas most states don't have the luxury for of the restaurants, theme parks, entertainment. I mean, the venue, everything about California. It's just, it's just awesome. There's so much to do and see there. No, I'd love to live there someday. I think. Yeah. It's all I recommend it. San Francisco, LA and everything in between. It's awesome. Okay. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back for more questions. Mark and Tampa just got Universal Studios, IOA passes. I don't know. I was an adventure. Okay. What are the top three rides and restaurant there? I was an adventure. So I don't know. They had passes just for the specific park. I thought it was like, it looks like he got it for Universal Studios. Slot. He said Universal Studios slash IOA. So he must have got Universal. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I think the Epic isn't part of the annual passes yet. I think it's becoming next year. Okay. Or with this year, I can't remember when they announced it, but it is in the next year. So. Okay. So I'll tell you my, if he's only looking for favorite rides that I, I guess I can give you my top three rides at IOA and Universal Studios. Okay. So because I used to have an annual pass when I lived in Orlando, it was 10 bucks a month when I had it. I'm sure he's paying way more than that now. Yeah. A lot more. Yeah. A lot more. That was 2009, 2010. I should know. 2007. Holy crap. My top three rides at IOA. One of them doesn't exist anymore. It was Dueling Dragons. Well, you can't tell them that one because it doesn't exist. But, but now it exists at Epic. That, you said that there's that one ride where. Stardust Racers. Okay. Yes. So yeah. That was my favorite ride with Dueling Dragons. It was the coolest thing ever. You got the, your feet were dangling. And I would always, I wore sandals all the time back then. So it was the coolest thing ever because I took my sandals off. I sat on my sandals and now I'm barefoot riding a ride. It was like so liberating to be barefoot on a roller coaster. Okay. So I love that ride. I also love, my second favorite would have to probably be Hulk. Oh, I love Hulk. Hulk, you ride that one where it shoots you off. You thought you think I rode a roller coaster like that when I don't like roller coasters? Yeah, but like you were there though. You should just, just, just do it. No. I, one, I would vomit. Two, I'd cry. Three, I'd probably give vertigo again. Okay. All three, no reasons. Okay. All right. So Hulk was number two for me. It was the best part ever. You get in that tunnel and I was like, I think it's, I think it's going to work. Warning, warning. No, no. And all of a sudden it would just, I don't know where it's, you're out of the tunnel and you're rolling around and it was so much fun. Did you, do you like Velocicoaster? I had, I never ridden it. It wasn't everyone I lived there. Velocicoaster is going to change your life when you ride it. So you rode Velocicoaster? I didn't. Oh. It's all, everybody who I've gone with, it's their favorite one. Okay. Because it's insane. That looks, looks really cool. I haven't ridden it yet. I had plans to, I had plans to go. I will be going end of March beginning of April. Okay. Yeah. Then you have to, then you have to ride Velocicoaster. Okay. I mean, my fiancee rode it five times in a row. Oh wow. Okay. Damn. Because he could go by himself because I wouldn't go. So he just go the individual rider line. He'd get off and I'm like, I'm still chilling. Go for it. Okay. He just went back up and did it again. Dude, dude, dude. And he come down so geeked out and he's like, I was like, still chilling. Go for it again. Go again, dude. Okay. Yeah. I can't wait to ride that one. And then so my number three, man, it's tough because I really like, I like Jurassic Park because it has that fun 90 foot drop or 60 foot drop, whatever it is in the end. Do you ride that one? Mm-mm. But now it's Jurassic World. So I need to see it now because it's different. But I think my third favorite at Islay has got to be Dudley Do-Rights, Ripsaw Falls. Did you ride that? It's the water log ride. No, I never rode any of the water ones. Okay. At Universal. We did at Disney, but we didn't at Universal. But that was at Universal. That was the island's adventure though. Yeah. But Universal in general, you didn't ride water rides. Okay. That one's a fun one. That's the one. It's almost like Splash Mountain, their version of it. Yeah. Because at the end it has like, you get out and it's like, whoa, and a big drop at the end, you go down, you get soaked the whole time. We used to ride that during Halloween hornites because no one would ride that. Because it's nighttime and you get soaked and no one wants to get soaked at the park. But we had frequent fear passes, which basically was an annual pass for Halloween hornites. So we'd go like three times a week and then we'd go there one day just to ride that. So we went there knowing we're going to get wet and we'd ride it over and over and over. Then you can plan for it. That makes that a lot more fun too. Yeah. We know that's what we're doing. Then when we leave, we don't care because we're going to go back in my truck soaked. It doesn't matter because we know that's what we're doing. And then one time we rode it over and over and over and over and over and over. And I had to pee. And I had to pee. I had to pee. And we were, it was like our seventh or eighth time riding it. And no one else had to pee. I was like, dude, I got to pee. And they're like, well, we don't. We're going to ride it again because it was like a zero minute wait. We're running back on to go ride it. And I was like, well, I really have to go. And it's a ride where it's a log ride. And so it's like, I think it's like four people on a ride. And I was in the back. And so it was me in the back, my friend Lee in front of me, and then Drew and Brent. And so I was like, I had to pee and I couldn't hold anymore. And I'm like, well, we are so wet right now. There's no. You pee in the ride? There's no way that they're going to know that it's either my pee or the water from around the ride splashing you. So I remember we were going down the big drop and I was like, all right, I just let it go and I sat back and I peed all over Lee. No, you did not. I did. And we rode like three or four more times, which I was like, let's ride it some more times. Like I thought you had to go pee. I was like, no, no, I'm good. But I want to ride it more times so I can like, so I can, so I can the clean me because I just peed. I forgot about that. That's bad. That's really bad. Sorry. That was a bad one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He probably thought all those years ago that he smelled pee and he just was like crazy or something. The water is hot. That's right. It's been cold all the time. It's really warm. Yeah. What the hell is happening here? What was that? Yeah, really weird. And then, and then my favorite spot to eat in there was a place right when you walk into Island's Adventure, you get to, so you walk straight in and you get to like that T in the row where you can go to the left, which takes you to Marvel Universe where it's got Hulk and all that, or you can go to the right and it goes to Dr. Seussland and all that over there. Oh yeah. So there's a walking through Dr. Seussland. When I was at Universal, it was pouring rain and I had ran because my family was riding the roller coaster and I didn't want to. So I ran to go to Spider-Man. Oh yeah. I wanted to do Spider-Man. Yeah. That's a fun ride too. It is. I loved Spider-Man and I got out of there and it was pouring down rain. So it was like a zombie apocalypse. Nobody was there or they were running around. And I was in Dr. Seussland and I didn't, this is my first time ever in the park. I was trying to get back to my family in the pouring rain and I was in Dr. Seussland. I thought I was on drugs. Oh yeah, because it's trippy. Oh, it was so trippy and it was raining and no one was there. Nobody was around and had no idea where I was going. I got lost in Dr. Seussland like three times just doing the same lap and I was like, what is going on? I want to get out of here if I was like Groundhog Day. It literally was. So that's my memory of Dr. Seussworld. It's a cool spot and even during Halloween horn nights because they like, the way they light things in there, it's so trippy and so cool. But right before you walk into there on the right hand side, there's a place called something Cantina. It's like a hidden gym. Like no one ever, even though it's right there in the main walkway, I felt like nobody ever went in there. Okay. It was the best place to go, especially for a drink because they have a bar right there that, and you can grab a drink and you can sit there and like watch Hulk and see all that stuff. I think it's really cool. I like that one. Not the best food, but it's a great, it's okay food, but it was the, the atmosphere and the drinks and the accessibility to get to a bar right there and, and watch the park. I think it's kind of cool. Okay. So like that. I like those. And then so for you, what were your top three? I was adventure. Well, and I'll just put them all into one. Okay. But definitely the, what was it called? Motorbike. Hagrid's. Oh Hagrid's. I never ridden that either. That's new. Yes. Hagrid's you'll love. Yeah. That's definitely my number one. And I would say then Harry Potter, the escape at Gringotts is number two. Okay. I haven't been on that. Very Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter at Universal. I could tell. Just, I'll spend the whole day there. And then three, I think my third one was what, what was that place and why can't I think of it now? I really do like Spider-Man. No. Transformers. Oh, Transformers. I didn't, that wasn't there either when I was there, I don't think. Yeah. It's like a 3D ride. Just like Spider-Man, right? Yes. Same kind of concept. And I freaking love Transformers. So I was geeking out in there and I got to meet Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Okay. Well, they have a Transformers at the one in LA and I've been on that one. Okay. It's the same thing where you're in the car with the glasses, screens, things like. And you're getting like thrown around. Yeah. And the water and the whole 4D effect. Yes. That one's fun. Okay. Yeah. So I'd say that's my third one. And then I do honorable mention the Jurassic coaster because everybody loves it. I can't see from experience, but you have to ride it. If you're a, if you're got passes, you have to do it. Okay. And then restaurant-wise, I love three broomsticks in Harry Potter. They have a bomb breakfast thing, which you can't normally find breakfast in the park, but we did there. Okay. And that one was really cool. And then I think that's about it because I'm definitely more a Disney food girl than I am a universal food girl. Yeah. Universal has stepped it up a little bit recently with their food. I know for the back when I was living there, it was like universal wasn't, you didn't go there for the food. You went there to drink and ride rides. Yep. And Disney was like the food. It was the foodie food. Exactly. The theming of it and everything. Speaking of, Janelle and Florida wants to know the theme park. What do you want to visit? You've never been to before. I've never been to before. Before I get to her, my top three of universal go really fast. Oh yeah. The main park. I don't know why I thought you put them all together. No, no, no. I divided it because you can't put them together. The fact you put them together is blasphemy. You have to separate the two parks. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So the universal, the main universal, I'm going to go mostly old school. Number one is ET. Oh my God. It is so cool. And I hope they never, ever, ever change it. You can't. You just can't touch that one. That one's amazing. I love ET. I love Men in Black as number two. Men in Black is so badass because it's such a fun shooting ride. And I have great memories of it. Men in Black is so much fun. And when he says don't touch the red button, touch the red button. I touch the red button. Because you get a million points or 100,000 points or whatever it is. So definitely touch the red button. That's a little hack there for you. And the other hack is definitely make sure you shoot the things on top of the other person's ride. So you'll notice on your car and every car around you at the very top, there's like this like almost like a Q-tip looking thing. It's got like a rod and like a circle on top. And there's a red circle that like flashes. And if you shoot that, you get a lot of different points. And when you shoot their car and you hit it right in the middle, their car spins around and does 360s, which is kind of cool. That's funny. Okay. And then my third favorite at Universal, man, it's gotta be Mummy. Mummy is so awesome. You didn't choose a single Harry Potter ride? No. Harry Potter wasn't there when I went to Universal. Really? Harry Potter didn't exist. Harry Potter wasn't just coming out as a movie for the first time ever when I went to Universal. Okay. Throwing up. You're going to have a wildly life-changing experience because you like Harry Potter. I love Harry Potter. Yeah. You're going to, it's going to change your, after you have visited again, I'm going to need your updated list. Okay. All right. Do I have a, yeah, I'll let you know come after April. I'll have some more information. And then the best food at Universal, man, I think the pizza spot, so it's over there where they did a lot of filming. All that was filmed, like the whole, all that intro was filmed in like that city looking area by Mummy. There's a pizza spot. If you're looking at Mummy to the right, there's a pizza joint. And that pizza from what I remember was like the best pizza ever. It was so freaking delicious. Okay. So good. Okay. Now to Jenelle. Okay. Next question. What theme park would you want to visit that you've never been to before? I've never been to before. I really want to go to, I've seen it on Instagram only. It's the Warner Brothers Park over in Dubai. It's all indoors, which is like so intriguing to me that it's an indoor theme park. So I would say that will be number one on the list, but it's like tied with the one inside Mall of America, the Nickelodeon universe. Yeah. You've had, you've wanted to go there for a while. For, for instance, I was like kid. So I think it's between the Warner Brothers in Dubai and Nick universe at Mall of America would be the two I haven't been to that I want to check out. Well, one of those is going to be really easy for you to get to. Yeah. The Mall of America. Yeah. Yeah. Dubai, it's a little bit of a hike. It's going to take you a while. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's hell of expensive. One of them you can get there pretty quickly. You can just pop on a little flight this weekend and go. I could, but I have a family to attend. That's true. Bring them with you. I can't just get up and go, but then it costs more money. I can't do that. It's true. I want to go to Disney in Japan. That's cool. That'd be cool. Yeah. That'd be fun to see like the Disney's across the world. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be another one. The Japan one looks crazy. So I want to get that one. Yeah. And they're adding the Zoo Topia land there, I think, right? Looks so freaking cool. I just want to go to Japan. Yeah. That'd be. And it's cheaper there. I think it's like 50 bucks to get in. Yeah. My friend just went there. He did a whole Japan trip by himself and he spent like a couple thousand bucks with flight, transportation while he's there, food, the tickets to Japan for the Disneyland there. It was like nothing. It was like 50, 55 dollars. It's like everything that you buy there is also affordable. I was like, why is that there but not here? Right. I don't understand that. Wow. OK. Well we're going to end because I had some more questions but we went on a little tangent earlier. Went through a few tangents. You stayed. The ring tangent. Oh my goodness. OK. Well, scuba thanks for coming on. Hanging out with us. I appreciate it. Not thank you for all the comments. I'm sure I'm about to get online. It's a scram. Fm as my dad would say. I would say. Come on. Come on. Yeah, something like that. Okay. You can find Scoop of Steve at Scoop of Steve radio. Pretty much everywhere. Not pretty much everywhere. Cause I'm not on MySpace anymore. You're on Twitter. I'm on Twitter, you're right, yeah. You're on TikTok and you're on Instagram. I'm not on Snapchat. I'm not on Be Real. You're not on Facebook. Is Be Real still a thing? No. Okay. It might still exist, but a thing in the fact that a lot of people use it, no. No, yeah. Everyone's like, it's gonna be the next greatest thing. This seems a lot like every other platform where you're just taking pictures of stuff. Listen, it's always, this is gonna be a thing until it's not. So, and it did have a moment. Had a moment there for a while. And I think, I do think it still exists. And I think there's college kids that use it. I think that's really where it's at. Oh, wow. That's weird. But also Snapchat has kind of had a little comeback too. So I don't know if they're competing or what that looks like. I'm gonna speak to some college kids. Yeah, yeah. It's like way down the totem pole. No one cares about it. But everywhere else he's on. Yeah, everywhere else, yeah, yeah. Everywhere but on. And I'm at WebGirl Morgan. Thanks for hanging out with us.
