Welcome to Rick and That Michelle Chick, the weekly
0:05
podcast where your hosts, Rick and Michelle, confidently dive
0:10
into topics they know absolutely nothing about and somehow make
0:15
it sound legit. They're not experts.
0:17
They're not qualified. Honestly, they barely googled
0:20
it. So grab a drink, lower your
0:23
expectations, and let's pretend this counts as content.
0:28
So buckle up. Facts are optional, but the
0:31
bullshit? That's premium grade.
0:34
This is Rick and that Michelle chick.
0:45
So we spent so much time catching up from our holiday
0:49
break that I forgot to ask you about New Year.
0:52
New Year's. Gosh, I can't talk.
0:54
What the heck? New Year's and your New Year's
0:57
resolution. If you had any resolutions for
0:59
the New year, do you? The, the, what I mainly try, you
1:03
know, I mean it's, and it's probably already broken is, you
1:07
know, I, I, I've, I have tried to keep my weight in control or
1:12
weight in check. Basically, you know, I had lost,
1:16
I had lost 20 lbs with the, with tri-cities weight loss.
1:20
And so and then I think I've gained like 5 or 6 back already,
1:25
but but that's bad especially. Around the holidays, we.
1:29
All no, we're coming up holidays, you know, and the
1:31
goal. I think my biggest thing is for
1:33
me, I am such love. I love sugar or I have a sweet
1:37
tooth. So I so my biggest thing is, is
1:40
a less sugar, I guess less well, well, one for sure is very
1:46
little fast food. So I I haven't hardly any fast
1:51
foods. I think that's that's been the
1:53
biggest change more than anything else is the is the no
1:57
fast food. And then I do, I do still have
2:01
to have a soda, but it's it's 0 sugar.
2:04
There's no sugar. That's good.
2:05
Yeah, it's zero. It's 0 calories.
2:07
I mean, yeah. Shaylee drinks the 0 sugar
2:09
Doctor Pepper and it's actually not bad tasting at all.
2:13
So, so, yeah, so I, I learned something over this whole this
2:15
whole trial and tribulation of get kicking the soda habit and I
2:19
still have the the habit, but I I discovered that that do you
2:23
realize what the difference is between diet and 0 sugar?
2:26
No. What is it?
2:27
OK, so the diet soda like a Diet Pepsi or even a Diet Coke or a
2:31
doc diet Doctor Pepper is supposed to actually have a
2:35
different taste. It's not supposed to taste like
2:37
it just right. And then 0 sugar, the goal of 0
2:42
sugar is for it to taste exactly like a Doctor Pepper.
2:46
It's tastes exactly like a Coke or a Pepsi.
2:47
So for me, right now, for me it's sugar free A&W.
2:52
So it's root beer basically, but it's sugar free.
2:54
So, so it mimics 0 sugar because because you always look at like,
2:58
well, what does it mean? You know, Pepsi Zero.
3:00
And then why not just drink Diet Pepsi?
3:03
They actually have different tastes.
3:06
I see so. Yeah, so the 0 sugar stuff tries
3:09
to mimic the original product. So, so yeah, for me, I think
3:13
it's, it's what well #1 #1 fast food prices have just gone
3:18
outrageous. I mean, no, really it really it
3:21
really I mean. Especially where you work early
3:25
and then, yeah, when I worked with you, it was easy for you to
3:28
just walk to KFC get. It on every day like.
3:31
Yeah, like Arby's was right there.
3:33
Like you were just walking to whatever fast food place every
3:37
day for lunch, basically. So yeah.
3:40
And because it was convenient and.
3:41
Yeah. And and, and even then it's
3:43
like, and you know, again, I'm so, so lucky for my metabolism.
3:49
So to me, the the heaviest I've ever been is 175.
3:52
I mean which you? Are not by any means like
3:55
overweight at all at any point in your life.
3:58
I don't think I've ever seen you.
3:59
Fat Captain Kirk. Fat Captain Kirk.
4:02
But you know. Fat Captain Kirk but but now I'm
4:06
now I'm 160 and I, you know and I mean I could technically go
4:10
technically GO-150, but that's hard to maintain people don't
4:13
realize Oh yeah You know, Megan has talked to me a lot about
4:17
this is that the reason why the pounds come back on is because
4:19
you lose the weight and then you start eating normal again yes
4:24
and it just goes right Not the nice thing it's not for me since
4:27
I since I took out the fast food and the and the you know all of
4:31
that The nice thing is it's not that has not come that hasn't
4:33
come back at a quick pace I mean I still gained 5 or 6 lbs for
4:37
the to the. Holidays cutting that food out
4:40
will help with your high blood pressure.
4:42
And if you end up having, I know you don't have high cholesterol,
4:45
but some of those issues that start to like creep up as we get
4:49
older. My cholesterol is like right on
4:51
the cusp. And so I'm like, oh God.
4:53
I think the last time I got it checked, last time I got it
4:56
checked, it was on the cusp. It was on the cusp and this has
4:58
been years ago, probably 10-10 years ago or whatever.
5:01
That's right, you need to go to the doctor.
5:02
I think we talked about this on a last.
5:04
Podcast I never go, I never go. So Megan, Megan is always on the
5:08
case about it. So yes.
5:09
So yes. But the last time I had gotten
5:11
checked, it was probably on the border.
5:15
And so it's like, yeah, I mean, it's like just because you've
5:19
got a great metabolism or you can, you know, at least keep
5:22
some pounds off, the age gets you to it well.
5:25
Oh yeah. Megan Megan will tell you age
5:27
has nothing to do with it. And she's right, it doesn't have
5:29
anything to do with it, but it's just the I I feel.
5:32
For me, the older I get, the less motivated I am about
5:34
anything. Right.
5:35
For women, though, we get menopause, perimenopause and
5:39
that and that and that in and of itself can just we'll pack on
5:43
the pounds. It's just it's the weirdest
5:46
thing. And so for us, at least, we have
5:49
that as an excuse or. No, I.
5:53
Mean it's a it's a very valid thing that happens to us so.
5:56
I, I think one thing I, I, you know, I definitely have to say
6:01
is I have taken it for granted. So in my, in my, in my family,
6:05
I'm a fatty. I am the fattest of I'm just,
6:08
I'm just fat now. They are.
6:12
But they all but they all drink. My whole family drinks and
6:14
smokes well. My my siblings are chain
6:17
smokers. So they have the natural weight
6:20
loss stimulant. Well, yeah, they.
6:22
Yeah. So they're cigarettes.
6:23
They're. Yeah.
6:23
My, when I saw my sister at I was crazy.
6:25
When I saw my sister at my mom's funeral, she had three packs of
6:29
cigarettes stacked on top of each other.
6:32
She was outside the She was outside the motel puffing away 3
6:36
stacks and then she was going. Down.
6:39
What I'm like, I'm like lung cancer, lung cancer.
6:43
Hello. So the good news, being a
6:45
non-smoker, a non drinker, it's like I, I, I mean, I'm going to
6:49
get the weight more so because I'm just eating normal.
6:52
Whereas whereas my sister and my brothers all smoke all day long.
6:56
They they're not eating. Right, right.
7:00
Yeah. Where I would be snacking in
7:02
front of the TV where and they instead are sitting there
7:06
smoking their cigarettes I think.
7:08
I think you make a great point. Snacking, snacking super tough.
7:11
So for me, yeah. So, so New Year's resolution one
7:14
100% less fast food, less sugar if humanly possible.
7:19
And try to try to keep within a, you know, a reasonable weight I
7:23
guess. Right.
7:25
So for you, for you, Michelle. Well, I found, so I try not to
7:28
make them anymore because I found that when I do make them
7:32
and I fail, it makes me feel even worse about myself.
7:36
I mean, I'll have I just call them like OK, yearly goals.
7:40
Like this year I would like to start walking more because when
7:44
we do go to Disneyland, there is a lot of walking like we'll hit
7:49
before noon, we'll hit like 20,000 steps.
7:53
And so walking I really, which I should do anyway.
7:56
Again, you and I are older and that's one of the things they
7:58
say that we should do is walk. A lot of walking, yeah.
8:01
Right. We don't have to run or lift
8:03
heavy weights or whatever it is. Walking is really good for us.
8:06
So I should do it just for multiple reasons.
8:10
And then I have not been on stage to do any comedy I think
8:15
in like 4 years. I think last time was when you
8:17
and emceed the event. Oh wow.
8:20
Because I am my worst critic. We have talked about this.
8:23
Oh. You did a great job.
8:24
So good job. So I'm like, OK, you have got
8:28
to. Even if I just go do some little
8:31
open mic night, I think Bill's place here has it every Tuesday
8:35
or whatever. Even if I just go do that just
8:37
to kind of dip my toe back in it.
8:39
I really need to just force myself to do it.
8:42
But again, it's like getting ourselves out of our comfort
8:45
zone and being like, OK, you have to do this.
8:48
Like, I know you can do it. You just go do it.
8:51
It'll be fine. So yeah, so those are the the
8:54
few things I for the most part, try to eat healthy.
8:57
And but why, why is snack a lot? I think is the problem for me.
9:03
What one thing I've been struggling with lately is the
9:08
older I get, well, the older I get around, you know, it's just
9:10
like there's things I want to accomplish then, but when I get
9:14
home from work, I'm so just I'm done, right.
9:18
And so I feel like I, I feel like I'm wasting, you know, a
9:22
bunch of time and I hate that. I hate that it myself because
9:25
there's, you know, I would like to, I would like to write
9:28
another book. I've got a I've got a bunch of
9:30
ideas. I always have lots of ideas in
9:32
my head. I even have lots of notes and
9:35
stuff, but there's things I want to accomplish and do.
9:38
And then now I will give myself at least credit for last year is
9:43
I had to write that book because I've been wanting to write that
9:46
book for for I talked about it for 40.
9:48
Years, yeah. You talked about it all the
9:50
time, and to see it come to life and be a real, tangible thing
9:55
was awesome. So, but, but same as you, it's
9:58
like I want to rewrite that whole book because I'm like,
10:01
that sucks. You know what I said?
10:02
I want to go back, put more pictures in.
10:04
I want to, you know, because my son, he read and knows well and
10:08
he just picked holes in it. My son Logan just picked holes
10:11
in it and he, and he was, I mean he was.
10:13
In everything you do. He does, but it but he wasn't
10:16
wrong. He wasn't wrong because even
10:19
Megan, my wife, who's got a degree in English, I was.
10:23
So I just wanted to get it out there that that I, I think that
10:28
the proofreading or the, the, the extent that I could have
10:31
done like a real author. There's a lot of stuff that I
10:36
that I could have explained, like who's pokey and or who
10:39
Logan was. I mean, right, kind of get the
10:41
jet. If you knew me, you're like, you
10:43
already know this. You already know but but if
10:45
there's somebody. Know who Pokey is?
10:47
But someone reading the book does not know that.
10:50
Is your first wife, your ex-wife Logan's mom?
10:53
Which have we talked about why her nickname is Pokey?
10:56
Yeah, Pokey. I don't think you've said, I
10:58
don't think we've talked about that on a podcast, like why you
11:02
call her that? Pokey.
11:03
Well, her nickname. Well, her nickname is Pokey, but
11:05
it's but her dad called her Pocahontas when she was a little
11:10
girl. So and then it they shorten it
11:12
to Pokey and her her her mom's name is Dorothy.
11:16
Her name is Dorothy. So and and her mom, like his
11:20
nickname is Dort. And then Pokey is kind of just
11:22
the the are a nickname to, maybe because they had both had the
11:26
same name. Right you.
11:27
Ended up with that. So when I met her, when I met
11:30
Pokey, she was at the skating rink.
11:31
She was 15 years old skating at the skating rink and that's kind
11:35
of where I met that's How I Met met her.
11:37
She was quite the quite the character Pokey is.
11:40
She is a character she really is.
11:42
So that's how. But that's How I Met her at the
11:44
skating rinks. Me and my mullet.
11:47
Yeah, my flowing mullet. Hair.
11:49
Yep, that that hair roller skating DJ gosh, what was I 19
11:54
years old? And yeah, so anyway, that's a
11:57
that's a that's a good story for another time for sure.
11:59
But yeah, but she, I was, I remember working at the skating
12:03
rink and was like, I don't know how it all came together because
12:08
it wasn't like one of those where I met Pokey and I
12:11
immediately went I want to, I had other girl, I had other
12:14
girlfriends at the time or had girlfriends.
12:16
No, before I met Pokey. And then it was, it was
12:20
interesting. I think what happened was I was
12:22
19, I was dating a girl named Patty and she was 16.
12:27
And the, the skating rink had no issue with that.
12:31
Then Pokey became interested in me and we kind of sort of like,
12:35
oh, maybe. And then I said, well, I said,
12:37
well, you have to be 16 because remember, 16 is the legal age of
12:41
consent, right? In our state, in our state, in
12:44
Idaho. What's that?
12:46
Oh, in Washington, I was going to say.
12:47
In Washington, it is. And in Idaho, too.
12:50
Oh, it is OK. Yeah, it is in Idaho too.
12:52
So I don't know if those laws have changed.
12:54
I think they, I think they still are.
12:56
Don't quote me on that. I mean 16 and 19 is not.
13:00
I mean I. Mean Todd marriage is still
13:01
legal in what, like 35 states? Well, and Pokey and I are what,
13:06
4 1/2 years apart? It's not like it wasn't, I mean
13:08
it wasn't, you know, it was not my mother.
13:10
It was not my mother. 33 and 16. Okay, right.
13:14
Yeah, I talked about. That's your moms age difference.
13:18
That's I talked about that in the book.
13:19
Right with your dad, yeah. Yeah, my dad was 33 and and so
13:23
and anyway, so yes, so I had told her, hey, when you know,
13:27
once we turn 16, you know, we can start dating.
13:30
We started dating and then all help, all help broke loose
13:35
because see Barclays even agreeing.
13:39
So what happened was, unbeknownst to me, the assistant
13:42
manager at the roller skating rink had a thing for Pokey, and
13:45
he was 30 something. I'll.
13:48
Oh, I know, but anyway, so he was like they can't date, blah
13:52
blah blah blah blah and so. Because he wanted to date her.
13:56
What? Well, he was married.
13:59
He wasn't. Stop, man.
14:00
Are you kidding? Like I, yeah, so it, yeah, I
14:03
could tell a whole story about that, but it's not my story to
14:05
tell. But anyway, Pokey and I so,
14:11
yeah. So I quit the skating rink and
14:13
started because I was like, no one's going to tell me who I'm
14:15
going to date. So I, yeah, so I, so I quit the
14:18
skating rink and, and dated Pokey.
14:20
And then of course, Logan came along and all that stuff, all
14:22
that fun stuff. So anyway, not to get off court,
14:25
not to get off course on New Year's resolutions, but.
14:28
But yeah, so, but going back to my original statement, it's so,
14:31
so every single day I come home. I mean, I work a full day and
14:34
then I come home and I want to do all these extra projects.
14:36
Yeah. I go outside and play with the
14:37
dogs and I kind of put I caught putting around.
14:40
I put around, but I never sit down.
14:42
And because I have to write for work now creatively, it's like I
14:46
don't want to come home and write a comic book or a draw a
14:48
picture or I don't and I don't know why where you know, why
14:52
does that go away? I guess does that has that ever
14:54
happened to you where you're like, I really want to
14:56
accomplish all these things and then I just, I get in front of
15:00
the TV and I'm like, no, I'm just gonna watch murder.
15:02
She's. Right, yes, it's the same for
15:05
me. Like, okay, let's write some new
15:08
jokes, some new material, let's update what you have, because a
15:11
lot of it is like outdated. And then I, I open my laptop and
15:16
all the stuff I had been thinking about for weeks and
15:19
weeks and weeks, I can no longer remember it.
15:22
It just like evaporates out of your mind and you're just
15:26
drawing, sitting there, drawing a blank.
15:27
And now you have no creative inspiration or that little like
15:32
spark of energy, like you said. And so again, like you, I just
15:36
go and watch TV or whatever, whatever.
15:39
It is and I can't. I can't entertainment.
15:42
I can't decide if that's an age thing or what, what what is
15:46
what's that all about? You know, but we.
15:49
Are also creative people and I think like maybe writer's block
15:55
the same kind of scenario for us is we have to have we have to
16:01
have something that inspires us or motivates us or pushes us to
16:06
do it almost if that makes sense we.
16:09
Have to. We just have to be like in that
16:11
plane of whatever it is for that creativeness.
16:15
And maybe as we get older, we're just not in those places as much
16:19
anymore. I mean, I don't, I don't know.
16:22
Yeah, I think, I think it, yeah, I think it's, yeah.
16:25
Again, it's, it's so, yeah. So New Year's resolution, yes,
16:28
if I could, you know, get a little bit of, you know,
16:31
creative, but. But I always feel like work
16:33
takes so much of it the, you know, because we, because we
16:35
have to at my work, we have to write two articles a day.
16:38
It's got to be exactly, exactly the way they want it and all of
16:42
that. I'm like, so when you come home,
16:43
you're like, I don't want that bullshit.
16:44
Right. I think.
16:45
That's when we have other creative people around us that
16:49
we like, like, and that helps to spark that in us.
16:55
We kind of feed off of each other, if that makes sense.
16:57
So. Well, and, and for me, it's like
17:00
there's other things that, that there's other things that
17:02
interest me for sure, but also from a creative standpoint,
17:06
because I do the radio show every day or Monday through
17:08
Friday. I, I mean, I, so I do, you know,
17:12
I'm creative every single day, which is nice.
17:14
And then when I, and then when you come home, you're like, OK,
17:16
I don't want to do that. I don't, I don't want to do
17:19
those. You know, I've already, I've
17:20
already I've given I've, you know, I've given a little bit
17:23
you. Know which I mean I get that
17:25
because my hairdresser so when I did work at the radio station
17:30
and and then when I stopped working there she said that she
17:33
noticed the difference when I would come in to get my hair
17:36
when I worked at the radio station I didn't talk very much
17:39
and then afterwards now like I talk a lot and it and she's like
17:43
that makes sense she's like because you had to talk for a
17:45
living and so you don't want to talk anymore you're kind of like
17:48
zapped for the day basically and I'm like yeah I mean that's a
17:52
actually what happens so. I think that's a great, Oh,
17:54
that's a, that's a great, that's a great way.
17:56
And then I'm also one of those people like I've got to when I
17:59
get off work, if I have any errands, I have to run those
18:02
before I get home. Because once I get home, guess
18:04
what I don't want to do? I want to stay home I once I
18:07
have to now. I'm just that personality.
18:09
It's like I'm not one of those who come home.
18:11
I'm home now. Now I'm gonna kick off my shoes.
18:13
Now I got to go do something. No, I'm like, Nope.
18:16
Under the covers. Get the pillow out.
18:18
Get the dog snuggles. Yeah, yeah, that's how I am too.
18:21
Now I've noticed that like, it's dark.
18:24
I don't want to go outside and go do something.
18:27
So I, if I so for New Year's, I, you know, I mean, this is fun.
18:30
This is a great, this is a great outlet.
18:31
So this is a lot. Doing the podcast is a lot of
18:33
fun, but I think. We're not restricted.
18:36
No, no. And that might be that might be
18:38
part of the problem. But there's a couple things.
18:41
I mean, there's still a couple things I want to accomplish.
18:44
You know, one of them has always been, and I talked about ever
18:48
since I was junior in junior high.
18:49
I really want to and it's it's just, it just takes so much out
18:53
of here. But I really want to do my own
18:56
comic book to where it looks exactly, exactly like, you know,
19:00
a real 1. So.
19:03
So that's ever since I was in junior high.
19:06
So, yeah. But that you have to write it.
19:09
You have to draw it, I mean, but I mean, that's an incredible
19:13
undertaking by yourself. And so, yeah.
19:17
Yeah. That seems like a lot too much.
19:19
It is seems like too much for me.
19:21
It is. It is a lot.
19:22
So maybe someday. Yeah, maybe once you retire then
19:27
you'll have the time. Well, yeah, I think that the
19:29
eyesight probably go before then, right?
19:31
The ability to draw too. Well, and that's it.
19:34
That's another thing is what's interesting because because you
19:36
know, I used to draw a lot and now I'm not.
19:40
I'm just not motivated to draw. It's probably been a few years
19:42
since I really sat down and drew something and then I now have to
19:45
wear, I have to get out reader glasses.
19:48
Yeah, even though, even though I mean, I, I'm still 2020, but
19:52
then really close stuff, I have to wear reader glasses.
19:54
Now, yeah, so I have, I have both eyesight going.
19:58
Before my knee surgery, I had great eyesight.
20:01
And then I realized I can't see that road sign when I was
20:05
driving far away, Right. And so I'm like, oh shit.
20:09
So I went and got my eyes checked and sure enough, I
20:12
couldn't see far away, whatever that is.
20:14
Isn't that near sighted? I don't know you're.
20:15
Like they're. Opposite or whatever.
20:18
Right and but. Now I can't see it close up very
20:21
well either and I'm going Oh my God, like this.
20:25
Is horrible you have lasik or I have contacts?
20:29
No, I have nothing right now. Hold on.
20:31
I do have glasses but they are like the transition.
20:36
So they have both in them. OK.
20:37
And so trying to go up and down stairs or oh.
20:40
Look at that. Hold on, look at those.
20:42
Oh jeez. I can't put them on with my.
20:44
Oh yeah, there you go. They're like sparkly though they
20:47
are see like. I like it.
20:48
Inside, Yeah, yeah, of course. But yeah, it's like being on a
20:52
roller coaster trying to go up and down the stairs.
20:55
And so I find myself not wearing them when I should be wearing
20:59
them so. OK, GM Brady.
21:02
Yeah, you know, kind of you kind of look like you kind of look
21:05
like Missus Howe from the Gilligan's Island when he had
21:07
those on. But that's.
21:08
OK, I mean, I like them. I like them.
21:11
Otherwise I don't mind the fact that I have to wear them, but I
21:15
just don't like the feeling. I think of the transition and
21:19
that weirdness about it. So I don't know which the eye
21:23
doctor warned me. He said it's going to take you a
21:26
long time to get used to this because at that time I wasn't
21:29
wearing any glasses. And I.
21:31
Opted for this. It it.
21:34
It's partly my fault. It's weird because I am, I am,
21:41
I'm near side, which means but, but for me, it's just what's
21:45
interesting. It's a slight blur.
21:46
It's not so you can see what? I don't have glasses on.
21:49
You see me function all the time without glasses.
21:51
Oh yeah. You know, but when I drive, I
21:53
will have AI have my glasses on because again, I can't see the
21:55
sign signs this blurt. Now I know it's a stop sign.
21:59
I know it's a yield sign. I mean, and if I squint, I can
22:03
see the lettering. So it was always fun being a kid
22:05
when I would would get picked on and I have my glasses on and
22:08
they're like, oh, come on, a four.
22:10
And then I'd take my glasses off and I'd hit them and they go you
22:13
can see. Well, duh, I'm not blind, you
22:17
know. Well, they did because it's
22:19
like, oh, you have a slight blur.
22:20
So, so I can 99.9%. But for me, like you just said,
22:25
it's an irritation to have that slight blurriness.
22:28
Yeah, so that's why. So that's why I have, and that's
22:30
why I always have the glasses hanging for my shirt, you know,
22:33
because it's like it's, if I need to look far away or look
22:36
far away, I put them back, put them on.
22:38
But, but everything else for me is 2020, which drives me nuts.
22:41
So it's like I have to go on and on like this.
22:44
And it, it, you know, Megan, for years I had worn contacts with
22:49
Megan hates the fact that I don't wear contacts anymore.
22:51
But the problem was I have an astigma.
22:55
I have astigmatism. And so I could, I could not wear
22:58
what they call the torque lens, which is the big fat ones, the
23:01
big lenses. So I couldn't do that.
23:03
I had to have the just the regular.
23:04
So I never saw why I had my contacts at the time.
23:07
I never saw 2020 anyway. And then my, and then my eyes
23:11
would have to adjust because I can see without without the
23:15
contacts. And so I have to takes me a
23:18
second to adjust my eyesight on everything I just got.
23:21
It got so annoying. I'm like, OK, fine.
23:22
I'll just wear my glasses when I need them because that slight
23:25
blur just drive me nuts. I've thought about getting the
23:28
LASIK, but my friend Risa, the one so we've talked about on the
23:32
show, she's had it and but now she has like that night
23:35
blindness and she can't drive at night anymore.
23:38
And so I mean, very rarely can she drive at night.
23:42
And so I'm like, oh God, like I don't want that to happen
23:45
because that does. That can happen to some people
23:48
who get LASIK. Yep, I had talked to, I had
23:50
talked to the optometrist about LASIK years ago and he says I, I
23:56
mean, I have enough good vision. He's like, man, if something
23:59
goes wrong, you could lose the good vision you have.
24:03
Like like you just talked about the night vision or anything
24:05
like that, those, those situations And I was same as you
24:08
guys, terrified like, Nope, I'll keep because again, 99.9% a day
24:12
I can operate without glasses. So and so I just really, I
24:16
really need him just for signs, you know, because.
24:19
Yeah on a yeah, just for science.
24:21
No, I'm not really digging night anymore.
24:23
I mean, I can drive at night. I definitely have to wear
24:26
glasses at night for sure. Yeah, I because the lights are
24:29
getting well, the lights are getting just too like
24:32
everybody's got them damn fluorescent lights.
24:35
That it's. Halogen lights or?
24:36
Whatever. Yeah, it's yeah.
24:38
It's like no one has the nice yellow lights anymore.
24:40
It's all freaking like, what the hell are we?
24:41
What are we lighting up down the road?
24:43
If we go? It's like, my God, nail the old
24:45
ones. Oh, and they have the light bars
24:47
and shit. You know what I'm saying?
24:48
It's not even it's not even like you're dealing with two lights
24:50
coming down the road. It's like, you know, like you
24:52
said, it's like what what the F man to flashing your you're
24:56
flashing your little yellow beams like and they're like
24:58
here, let me show you my real bright.
25:00
Here's my here's my Here's my light bar.
25:03
Yeah, yeah. So, yeah.
25:05
So the fluorescent is. Yeah, it's killer.
25:07
So I'm with you on. It yeah.
25:08
OK, well, let's move on because I want to ask you about if you
25:12
saw if you saw the TikTok. It has over 3 million views I
25:16
think now. So it's a woman who says that
25:20
men shouldn't need a three page manual to take care of their own
25:24
kids, which I could not agree more.
25:27
OK, I agree with that. Although I, I think probably
25:30
some of this stems from like just moms being overprotective,
25:35
hovering mom, you know, the ones that think that the husband
25:38
can't take care of the kids, the husband or partner and they but
25:41
they really can, but they're just overbearing basically.
25:45
And to me, if you have to, to help your partner or husband
25:51
take care of the child or leave them instructions or whatever it
25:53
is, the first of that they're not an equal partner.
25:56
And then that's just another child that you have to take care
26:01
of, like your husband or your partner.
26:05
Maybe you just do and who needs that?
26:08
I know we've had the conversation which I find it.
26:10
I find it odd. There's a couple things that
26:12
when people I find some kind of language odd.
26:14
So we once had a Co worker who was going home and goes he goes
26:18
I'm going to go. I have to go babysit my
26:20
daughter. Yes, that came to my mind too.
26:22
Exactly. Yes, Yes, you.
26:25
Don't Yes, you don't babysit your own kids.
26:27
No. Ever.
26:28
Never. I was babysitting kids when I
26:31
was 13. I get it.
26:33
And if some grown ass man can't watch his own kid.
26:37
That's yeah, so I've that's you know, yeah, that is always stuck
26:40
in my well, I've heard it Yeah, I've heard it.
26:42
I've had a couple Co worker men, Co workers say that not just
26:45
that one, but a couple. And I'm like, that's your own
26:48
kid. Yeah, that that's your own kid.
26:49
And I once had a Co worker, which I was not.
26:52
He has two daughters and they're very sweet and goes, Oh yes, I
26:54
go home and I smoke a bowl and I'm like, what the really take
26:57
care of your damn kids. I wouldn't want you.
26:59
I mean, I felt I felt bad for his daughters.
27:01
I'm like, you know, they're toddlers and he's going home and
27:03
smoking a bowl. I'm like, oh hell no.
27:05
Great, like how can you be present as a parent?
27:08
You can't. That is crazy.
27:11
When my kids were growing up, you know, the Jay was, he was
27:14
not home during the week. So it was just me and the kids
27:17
and I would not hear about these wine moms that would drink a
27:21
glass or two glasses of wine. I never drank anything if it was
27:26
just me and the kids because what if something happens?
27:29
What if something happens and now I need to drive them to the
27:31
emergency room or anything like? That it's just.
27:35
Great, this is common sense to me.
27:36
That's. Responsible, well, it's big
27:39
well, but it's also because the way we grew up.
27:42
So, so because of the way we grew up, we we hopefully paid
27:46
more attention to our children. Yes.
27:49
And and the how Logan, how Logan views me matters.
27:53
So, so, so for me it was like, well, you, we've talked a lot
27:57
about this on the radio. It's like people are like, oh,
27:59
you don't drink or smoke because you're religious.
28:01
No, it has everything to do with the fact that I came from a
28:04
broken childhood. And, and so I, so when I had my
28:07
own kid, I'm like, OK, my kid will never, never see me
28:10
inebriated. He'll never see me never be
28:12
functioning. I will always good or bad, I am
28:16
who I am. This is me so, so I'm always so
28:18
making those decisions. But yeah, so I don't think, I
28:21
don't think a man needs a three book manual on like.
28:24
Three page manual again, I think some of it is these moms being
28:29
overbearing. Your husband is capable of
28:31
taking care of the kids like yeah, it may not be perfect like
28:35
how you'll. Never be.
28:36
Perfect. But as long as they're engaged
28:40
and taking care of them and nothing, they're not coming.
28:43
Nothing. No harm is coming to them.
28:45
Like then they Yeah, they you doesn't have to be.
28:48
Exactly. How you would want it as the
28:50
and? You got to let and you got to
28:52
let you got to let dads be dads. I mean, you know, so, and, and
28:57
it's sad. I mean, I think it's it, I think
29:00
it's the most ridiculous thing when a dad doesn't want to be a
29:03
dad or a father to their, their, their kids.
29:05
I mean, we went, we went through all this as kids.
29:07
So I, it, it rings deep in me that I, that I, for me, I had to
29:11
have a good relationship with my, my son.
29:14
It's important to have a good relationship with him.
29:16
I'd like to think I do. I don't know.
29:18
I don't, I mean, I've never asked him what he thinks of our
29:20
relationship, but I'd like, I'd like to think, you know, Pokey
29:23
always said, Pokey always said, yeah, he puts me on a well, I'm
29:26
not going to say it because he's going to.
29:27
No, I don't do it. No, I don't.
29:29
Put you on but. Yeah, but he did when he was a
29:31
kid. You did when, you know, we did
29:33
when he was a kid. And he goes, you know, and he
29:35
goes, well, you know, you could do it.
29:36
You could do no wrong in your son's eyes.
29:38
But but, but I was always there for him.
29:41
I was always there for him no matter what.
29:43
And always supporting them and, and and doing, doing the best
29:46
that I that I could with him. So yeah, I think that, yeah, I
29:51
think that you got to parents have got to be there for your
29:53
kids, men, men and women. Right.
29:56
And when? Yeah, no.
29:58
Women who keep their women who keep their the the the dads away
30:02
from their kids is. Even worse.
30:04
Yeah, sorry with with with the J being gone for work.
30:09
Then he would come home on the weekend.
30:11
He would want to be the Disneyland dad and he would let
30:14
them do things that I wouldn't let them do during the week.
30:17
Or. Mess up the house and build
30:19
these forts and I had to learn to let it go because I was like,
30:24
look, this is this will all clean up.
30:27
Like sure, you might have to clean it up but or hopefully,
30:29
yeah, but you know what? This is the time that he wants
30:33
to spend with him. This is how he wants to spend
30:35
it. So just let go.
30:37
The house will get clean. It doesn't really matter.
30:40
Just stuff like that, that I just had to be like, this is
30:43
you're being dumb like I had to like you're being dumb about
30:47
they're messing up your house when he's clearly having fun
30:51
with the kids. Just let it go.
30:52
Let it go. Yeah, I think that's what I
30:54
think. That's one of the things that
30:55
that Megan was glad in her mind that she never had children with
30:58
me, because I think it. Was even the daily Disneyland
31:02
dad? Well, I think, yeah, I think
31:04
she. I think she, you know, I think
31:07
she has a the wrong impression of me because the dogs get away
31:10
with murder. And so to her, she's like, well,
31:13
that's how you treat kids. You, you know, like, well, no, I
31:15
mean, I wouldn't. I mean, you know, you know, you
31:18
know me. My number one rule is how you
31:19
treat others is the number one. I could care less if my kids
31:22
room is a pigsty. That's on you, dude.
31:24
You know, if you, if you want to live in a, if you want to live
31:26
in a through, live in a through, I don't care.
31:29
But but you will, you will have manners.
31:31
You will be respectful. You will, you know, God, I mean,
31:34
my, you know, look at my foster mom.
31:37
He's like, you know, and anybody, and I will say anybody
31:40
who's ever encountered Logan has said he's a great, wonderful
31:44
person, right? Like he's very kind.
31:47
He's very nice. He's not.
31:48
He, I would never, I would never.
31:50
Logan is not a Neanderthal by any means, right?
31:53
You would not call Logan a knuckle dragon.
31:56
Right. And even though he is adamant he
31:58
is not ever having children, I think he would make an
32:02
exceptional dad dad. He'd be a good.
32:04
Dad, just because of who he is himself as a person, so.
32:08
He's a good person. And, and, and I think at the end
32:11
of the day, that's all you can expect of your kids is, I mean,
32:14
above all, be a good person, be a good person.
32:17
And, and, and that's one thing I, I like about Logan, I think
32:20
more than anything else is I know push comes to shove, he'd
32:23
make the right choice because he's got a conscience.
32:26
And and that comes and that came from, well, hopefully his
32:30
parents given him the right or wrong when he was a little kid.
32:33
So I, I don't think I, yeah, I don't think the dad needs a
32:36
manual. I do think the dad should be
32:38
involved. Well, yes, daily, Yeah.
32:40
Yes, yes, they should. OK, well, while we are talking
32:46
about TikTok, there was another TikTok that I wanted to talk
32:48
about. So it is of a grandma, she's
32:52
holding her baby or her daughter's baby.
32:55
She's holding the baby anyway and her daughter like slaps her
32:59
because the grandma kisses the baby.
33:02
I know this is a hot button around you so.
33:05
The mom, the baby like slaps her and it's like, well, yeah, like
33:09
she's told her mother, the grandma not don't kiss the baby,
33:14
which that is the new recommendation now is unless
33:17
you're the mom or the dad not to kiss the baby, which this is
33:20
something. That like are you talking to
33:22
kiss the baby on the lips or on the?
33:25
Just anywhere on like anywhere on there, anywhere.
33:29
Like just don't kiss them basically, especially on the
33:32
lips and the face especially, but just get it.
33:35
Just don't kiss them, which is something that Benjamin and
33:38
Haley have implemented. And I completely get it.
33:41
Like you have herpes, like people have herpes that don't
33:44
have outbreaks or whatever. There's sicknesses and the only
33:50
reason that you as the adult need to kiss the baby is for
33:54
you. Like that baby is not going to
33:56
know that you're not kissing it. They're just, they're not,
34:00
they're too little, they're not going to know.
34:01
And it's only for you as the grandparent or the relative,
34:06
whatever it is that you're kissing this baby.
34:08
So I completely understand where she's coming from and.
34:12
Are the parents allowed to kiss the baby?
34:13
Yes, so mom and dad can kiss the baby OK, but nobody else.
34:18
That is the recommendations now. I was, I was gonna say cuz, I
34:22
mean, not that I kissed Logan a lot, but Keith Logan's basically
34:24
the only male I've kissed. I mean, on his forehead and when
34:27
he looked up the little baby, right?
34:29
Right. Yeah, yes, yeah, Of course.
34:31
I love my love. I mean, I yeah, I snuggled with
34:34
him. I love doing so.
34:35
Yeah. Yeah.
34:36
I'm good with that. I'm good with that.
34:37
So so yeah. So they got so they got into a
34:39
fisticuff. Well, yeah, she like, slapped
34:42
her. She slapped her mom, which she's
34:45
warned her mom multiple times. Don't kiss the baby.
34:47
And then she did. And she she's like, slapped her.
34:52
So yeah, I get it. I understand.
34:55
I'm surprised Benjamin has not done that to some relatives.
35:01
I think some of them forget that they're not supposed to kiss the
35:05
baby. And so he has to keep telling
35:08
them, like, hey, don't, don't kiss the baby.
35:10
Don't kiss the baby. She's cute.
35:13
So it's happened a few times that I was sitting there going,
35:18
Oh my God, I was waiting. I could see the look.
35:21
On his yeah, we have not. Good for you.
35:23
I would struggle. I'm not going to lie, I was
35:26
struggling. If I had my grandbaby, I'd be
35:28
struggling. Don't get me wrong, like I would
35:31
love to kiss her, but again, it's only for me.
35:34
It's not for. I get it.
35:36
She's not going to understand that.
35:38
So what kissing? Actually get to kiss her on the
35:40
forehead. I'm I don't know, like, I don't
35:44
know, like when you can kiss them or.
35:48
No, I get. I I understand the principle
35:51
behind the whole, the whole I get, I get it.
35:53
But man, being the grandparent, if I had a grandbaby, that'd be,
35:57
I can't tell a lie. I would struggle with that.
35:59
For me, for me it. Is hard especially when I
36:02
babysit her and you have her you know snuggled up to you right to
36:07
just not go but again I don't need to do that I don't I got me
36:12
to do that yeah yeah, I I thought it was interesting I
36:16
thought it was funny hopefully I would love to see like my son
36:19
slap somebody they're kissing the baby because it's not going
36:23
to be me so. Now I I cannot tell a lie.
36:26
So this is where Megan is correct.
36:29
Pokey's correct is if I was going to break the rules, I
36:34
would. I am.
36:35
I am definitely a rule breaker. This is where you would.
36:37
Secretly. Kiss the baby.
36:39
Well, that'd be 1 my own, my own, not somebody else's baby,
36:43
remember? I mean, I would not There's
36:45
there's, there's way too many cases out there in the world.
36:48
Like, no, I don't. I don't ever approach anybody
36:50
else's but my own. But my like my own son, I did
36:53
kiss him on the forehead. I probably kissed him on the
36:55
lips maybe a couple times. And he's like, baby, I mean,
36:58
it's like, oh, I love you so much, you know, but that's about
37:01
it. So, but yes, I, I would not, I
37:03
would be a rule breaker. So I probably not.
37:05
That's the one thing I think that I would probably get in
37:07
trouble for if I had a grandchild.
37:10
I would not kiss him on the lips.
37:12
I would not kiss my grandchild, but I'd probably kiss him on the
37:14
forehead. Right.
37:15
Yeah, I'd. Probably get in trouble for it.
37:17
Right. And keep doing well.
37:19
But if you keep. But here's the thing, if you
37:21
keep doing it and they have told you over and over, then they're
37:25
going to limit your access to your grandchild now because
37:29
you're not listening. I.
37:30
I hear what you're saying. So you run the potential of
37:36
never seeing your grandkid again if you keep doing that, which is
37:39
completely understandable. OK, well I want to talk about
37:42
this Barbie. Have you seen the Autistic
37:45
Barbie? That my just.
37:47
Came out with, I know, I was so excited about this.
37:50
So she joins. There's a whole collection.
37:52
So there is a Down syndrome Barbie, a blind Barbie, and then
37:56
there's a Barbie and Ken have a vitiligo.
38:02
That's the Michael Jackson. Yeah, that's the pigment.
38:06
Yeah, so I thought that was so wonderful.
38:09
I guess the autistic Barbie, she comes with a fidget skin, a
38:13
fidget spinner, fidget spinner, and the noise cancelling
38:16
headphones and the tablet. So I thought that was super
38:19
cute. Remember when people got so
38:21
pissed when they started giving Barbie professions?
38:23
Do you remember that? Yeah.
38:25
Well, well, all of that, yeah. Yeah, it's like.
38:27
Well, they got mad. They got mad when they had a
38:29
black Barbie or a brown Barbie, remember?
38:32
Yeah, that's the insanity that the insanity of the of the world
38:36
back then was like, right. You know, I mean not getting up
38:39
my kids, not getting a Barbie that looks like him.
38:42
But yeah. That's the most the most absurd
38:45
thing is, you know, thing people that you know, like you said,
38:49
it's going to be it's a it's a great thing.
38:51
Yeah, I mean Barbie can only be dumb blonde with an unrealistic
38:55
body. I guess I I mean it, it makes
38:58
sense. That's the.
38:59
Yeah. I mean, that's basically like if
39:01
you strip away, if you just go back to the OG Barbie, like
39:04
that's what she is. I mean, that's.
39:06
Well, but, but I also say, well, it's not the 1950s anymore and
39:09
it's 2025 and there are so many, there's just so many different
39:14
people that I think that that's the, that's the big thing I
39:18
think more than anything else is they're like me.
39:21
So if they look, so if a little kids at the store and he's
39:24
looking at the shelf looking for a toy and oh, they, they look
39:28
like me or they, they have some attributes that I that I don't
39:31
have. I think it's I think it's a good
39:33
thing. I don't.
39:33
I don't think we should have, you know?
39:35
Which is why I love the Barbie movie.
39:37
Did you watch the Barbie movie? I did not.
39:39
I know I did. Oh I did.
39:41
I know it had the message. Oh, the message.
39:49
What message? Well, A.
39:50
Lot of people, a lot of people didn't care for it because what
39:53
do they demasculite kin, you know?
39:57
Yeah, things like that. So, but, but again, I'm going to
40:00
go back to the original statement, like I've always
40:01
said. And you know, Superman could be
40:05
gay, Batman could be black. They're fictional.
40:10
Yes. People.
40:12
Flipped out over Little Mermaid the.
40:14
Oh yeah, so I so I'm I'm a huge fan.
40:16
It's like she. A mermaid is not a real God damn
40:19
character. But but I also look at like,
40:22
like Sherlock Holmes could be a woman.
40:24
I mean, it doesn't have to be because again, they're
40:27
fictional. They're fictional characters.
40:29
So but people and maybe even Michelle to some extent.
40:32
When you're talking about one of your favorite, what's 1 of what?
40:35
It's one of your favorite movies or one of your favorite
40:37
franchises that. You know, Labyrinth, we just
40:40
talked about this last episode. Right.
40:42
So so yeah, So what if they redid it?
40:46
And did a remake. And made the characters
40:49
different. The Goblin King is.
40:51
That's a Goblin Queen, let's just say.
40:53
That'll be fine. Which there is.
40:55
Rumor talks that there is going to be a Labyrinth remake and the
40:59
director he has directed Alexander Skarsgard in Northman,
41:05
Northman and I think another other movie.
41:07
And I was like, that would be amazing if Alexander Skarsgard
41:12
plays the Goblin King like. That would.
41:14
Be that would be. Michelle would die and go to
41:17
heaven. Yes, exactly.
41:18
Yes. Her all her all time favorite.
41:22
So yeah, I'm for me, fictional characters can be whatever you
41:25
want them to be. It's whatever the writer
41:27
imagines them to be. So and I just don't understand.
41:30
But again, like you said, when you when you deal with fandom
41:32
that are psycho that you know that you're not allowed to
41:35
change anything about the I think at the end of the day, I
41:38
always say was the story good? You know and and if the story.
41:42
Is good. Did it move you?
41:44
Did it touch you? Did it in some way make you
41:46
think or whatever, Whatever you're watching.
41:50
And and, and again, it's like, and then it's like when we talk
41:53
about all the time, it's like, well, who is the audience?
41:55
Who is this trying to, who is this trying to speak to?
41:58
It's not trying to speak to Nana that's 75 years old.
42:01
That is, you know, racist. Yeah, that's racist.
42:04
I mean, it's like, and so that's one thing I always love about.
42:08
That's one thing I always love about radio stations is because,
42:12
you know, radio stations are mass appeal, of course, but then
42:15
there are people that come to you and it's your and it's your
42:18
women's station 1834 and it's a 65 year old man with the biggest
42:21
belt buckle and like, I don't like your music.
42:24
Well, you shouldn't like what are you talking about?
42:27
You? You shouldn't be, you shouldn't
42:28
like the the Top 40 radio station.
42:30
It wasn't built for you. So, but it's a but amazing, but
42:34
it's amazing that everybody's got an opinion, if that.
42:38
Yeah. That's that that.
42:40
Oh, social media. Did I, did I tell you?
42:43
Oh, I did tell you about before we go, I did tell you about we
42:45
had to get some air conditioning work done or we had to get
42:48
furnace work done, right? And the guy and the guy didn't
42:51
listen to the radio station. No, you didn't tell me about
42:53
this. I just knew that you were having
42:55
problems with your AC or and you had to get an estimate.
42:58
You were worried about the cost? Yeah, well, that's my number one
43:02
thing no matter what. You know me well enough.
43:04
Oh, and I was going to mention on the last podcast about cost,
43:07
which is which I think is very interesting about life really
43:10
quick is so when I was poor, when I was a poor DJ, let's say
43:15
the car would the car would break down and it would cost you
43:18
2 to 300 dollars, 100 dollars, 8500 bucks, 600 bucks, right?
43:22
But it was never, even though you were poor, it was never
43:24
really anything that you couldn't handle, right?
43:26
Right. So now, so now in life, I'm in
43:29
the middle income bracket, right?
43:31
So every repair is now instead of being that $400.00 or 500
43:34
bucks, now it's 1500 to 2000 but it's never 10,000 or 20,000.
43:40
See what I'm saying? So maybe.
43:42
If you were richer, if you were in AI, believe I.
43:46
Believe true. I believe if I was making
43:48
$300,000, oh, it'd be $20,000. For some reason.
43:51
It's just amazing how that works because I kind of feel like life
43:54
never really gives you it. It it stresses.
43:57
You out and give you more than you can handle but.
43:59
Yeah, right. It can't.
44:00
But it but it generally doesn't. It's usually OK.
44:03
It's a, it's a road bump. It's a speed bump in life.
44:06
So anyway, going back to Chad. That's his name.
44:09
Chad. OK, we have a name.
44:13
Oh, no. What?
44:14
Oh, God. Chad.
44:15
Chad do. So Chad comes and he has to go
44:18
look, he has to go look that it done.
44:20
He's like, hey, this thing's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
44:22
blah, blah, blah. And I need to get you estimates.
44:24
Well, he was here and you and I were trying to do the podcast
44:27
and, and, and it was Wednesday of last week.
44:29
And so he's just here like, well, I can't do the podcast.
44:32
And so finally he goes, he goes, well, here's your estimate.
44:35
And it was what, 1500 bucks to do whatever you got to do.
44:37
And he goes, well, I could just get that done today.
44:39
And I said, hey, I'm trying. I got to do a podcast.
44:42
Oh, so you put him off OK. I did, I said, so can you come
44:45
back tomorrow? And she has like, oh, yeah.
44:46
And then he and then that opened the door to, oh, you do a do a
44:50
podcast and I'm like, well, yeah, I do it with my friend
44:52
Michelle from Yakima. We used to work together in
44:54
radio. Oh, you work in radio because
44:57
that then you're always in that conversation and he's.
45:00
Like, are you on the radio? Yeah, So what?
45:02
So what radio station do you work for?
45:03
I said I work at, I work at mornings on 102.7 KORD.
45:06
He goes. Oh, he goes, he goes, oh, he
45:09
goes, yeah, I don't listen to that station.
45:10
I listen to the other guys, the 9494.9, the Wolf, the, the
45:14
competition. I said, well, it's OK, Adam and
45:16
Jen, I know him, they're friends.
45:18
And he and he just, he just goes, Well, he goes.
45:21
I just don't really care for the music you guys play compared to
45:23
the, the older country that the Wolf plays or whatever.
45:26
But so he's, he was a good guy and it was hilarious.
45:29
But I but I find it amazing that our radio or anything or radio
45:35
people have an opinion about that.
45:36
Oh yes, like. They like whether they listen or
45:39
don't listen or what they like. I mean, so if I said, hey, I
45:42
work at McDonald's, he wouldn't go well, I like Arby's better.
45:45
Like Burger King, Right? Like McDonald's?
45:47
Right, Yeah, right. No one would ever say that to
45:49
you. If you said you worked at
45:50
Walmart or Kohl's or whatever, they wouldn't they wouldn't name
45:53
the competition. But in radio, yeah, it's
45:55
amazing, amazing how they do that.
45:57
And so he goes and so I, I, he was talking to the technician on
46:00
the phone and. And so he came back the next day
46:02
and he goes, hey, can you leave me a Google review, blah, blah,
46:05
blah, blah, blah. And I said, yeah, I'll give you
46:07
a Google review, which I did. And I went on there and I left.
46:10
It was 5 star. It was nice, five star review
46:13
and said, hey, great job, blah, blah, blah.
46:14
Then I saw him the next day and I said, hey, I left you a review
46:17
for Google. And so thanks man.
46:18
Yeah, he gets 25 bucks for it or whatever.
46:20
And then I and then I had said to him, I said, hey, by the way,
46:22
I didn't end the review with, but he doesn't listen to my
46:25
radio station. I would have.
46:27
I would have been petty like that.
46:29
But I didn't. I told him I said I because I I
46:32
didn't, I didn't lend it with, you know, and he doesn't even
46:34
listen to my radio station and I'm giving a good.
46:36
I mean, they're both country stations.
46:38
Like for you to be like, you know, they'll play like it's
46:43
like they're both country music like.
46:45
It's not a lot of difference though.
46:47
There isn't, but maybe a. Slight difference, but.
46:50
They do play older. They play older.
46:52
Yeah, they do. KXTDI don't know if you've
46:54
listened to KXTD in a long time or listen to The Wolf in a long
46:57
time. I.
46:57
Don't listen to any normal radio I.
47:00
Know what they shifted years ago go to what they call everything
47:03
country. So they'll play Colin Ray,
47:07
they'll play stuff like Tracy Lawrence that that and we're new
47:10
countries. So it's one of those things
47:12
where we do have a throwback Thursday, but even throwback
47:14
Thursday is Tim McGraw something like that.
47:16
I mean, it's not George Strait check.
47:18
Yes, no. And so they're playing Diamond
47:22
Rio. Meet me in the middle.
47:23
I mean, I know exactly what they're doing.
47:25
It's not like not a surprise to me, but it is old yeah, I mean,
47:29
I could see and he's a dude. He's like, what was he 50 some
47:32
years old probably. So again, we talk about it was
47:36
it's built for him, right where where we're going to be, you
47:38
know, young, probably 181834, you know.
47:44
So anyway, with this interesting made me laugh.
47:46
Which I think in one of our OG, like one of the four original
47:51
podcasts when we first started, when we were talking about radio
47:54
stuff, I think we talked about like how brutal radio listeners
47:58
are. And they say it to your face.
48:02
Like they legit come up to you at a remote and tell you that I
48:07
don't like your voice, I don't like how you sound you your
48:10
voice annoys me, blah blah blah blah.
48:13
I you know, you get multiple stuff that they'll come up and
48:16
tell you to your face. It's completely different now we
48:19
have a social media and people just you see a tick tock video
48:22
and you just stay something mean in the comments that this is
48:26
this is to your face, like, oh, I I thought you'd be brunette,
48:29
just stupid stuff like that, that you're like what?
48:33
I I, it is ABS it just absolutely fascinating because
48:38
it just is, it's just one of those those careers or one of
48:40
those jobs where Megan will say she'll mention to anybody.
48:43
Oh, and go, what does your husband do?
48:45
Oh, he works on radio. Is he on the air?
48:46
That's the first question. Then what stations?
48:49
Yeah, yeah. And we know there's a lot of
48:51
other people besides radio people that work at radio
48:53
stations. There's engineers or
48:54
salespeople. There's but.
48:57
There's only that. Job but I always laughed.
49:00
I just had to share that story about Chad.
49:02
He definitely had an opinion about radio.
49:04
So oh. Chad.
49:06
Yeah. Oh, Chad.
49:07
Well, maybe he'll listen to the podcast.
49:09
Did you tell him the podcast name and.
49:11
I I I should have? What was I thinking?
49:13
I I I need I need a bit. I should have I should have name
49:16
drop. Chad is not our target audience
49:18
for the podcast either, so. Chad.
49:22
Well, I think on that note, we could leave it there.
49:24
That's I. Just want to do a little shout
49:26
out to Chad and anybody else who was taking the time to listen
49:30
those podcast and got this far. Thank you.
49:34
That's it for today's episode of Rick and That.
49:36
Michelle J, thanks for hanging out with us.
49:39
If you laughed, rolled your eyes, or question our sanity
49:43
even once, make sure you hit that follow button.
49:46
Don't forget to rate and review the show.
49:49
It helps people find our chaos. And hey, share it with a friend
49:53
who could use a laugh. We'll be back with more sarcasm
49:56
stories and questionable life advice next time.
50:01
See ya.
