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.
0:41
I wanted to touch on we had a few celebrity passings.
0:46
Obviously Robert Duvall passed away, and then Jesse Jackson,
0:51
and the only reason that I even knew Robert Duvall was in To
0:55
Kill a Mockingbird was because instead of reading the book in
1:00
9th grade English, I decided to go rent the VHS.
1:03
That's exactly what I did. Got it.
1:07
That is the only way I like. I know that he was in that
1:11
movie. So yeah, I mean, he's obviously
1:14
had other great movies since then, but yeah.
1:17
So I was thinking about, So for me, a movie called The Paper
1:20
with Michael Keaton is great. What's about the big
1:22
metropolitan? And I think it's AI want to say
1:24
it's a Rob Ryan or something like that. 1990.
1:26
He's the editor. Great, great one there.
1:28
Second hand lions where where he is the where they tell the big
1:34
tall tales. You know what I'm saying?
1:35
And they live in the middle of nowhere and they bring the
1:37
little boy comes and they're like, oh, we did all these
1:40
things and and no one believed them.
1:43
And at the end of the movie you discover that all the stories
1:46
were true, like they were. So they were some crazy mofos.
1:50
Yeah, so, so, yeah, Robert Duvall, and there's been a lot
1:53
like he was in a movie called The Judge with Robert Downey
1:55
Junior. I mean, the, the list of Robert,
1:58
it's just insane. He's great.
2:00
I think my biggest memory for Jesse Jackson, of course #1
2:03
running for president. I think that that's kind of the
2:05
big deal. But then also I think what so is
2:08
inspirational about him. He lives in a time where there
2:12
truly was a water fountain for colored and for white people and
2:17
he walked with Martin Luther King Junior and he was a part of
2:20
the civil rights. And I just I think you cannot
2:23
dismiss that era. I wasn't born, you weren't born.
2:27
I could not imagine living in that time And the racism.
2:31
I I mean, we deal with the day, the racism that the rate, the
2:34
racism that we deal with today. But I couldn't imagine being
2:36
there in the 50s when you you couldn't go into a diner, you
2:39
couldn't eat. You know, there was legit signs,
2:42
legit signs saying whites only where you.
2:45
I mean, I, I remember it was funny is down near the, the
2:50
Yakima Sun Dome, there's a little Mexican restaurant there
2:53
and we were doing, I think it was a Toby Keith show or
2:55
something. And so I ran over there to get a
2:56
burrito and did I ever fill out a place?
2:59
Walking into that little dive every, you know, I'm saying it
3:01
was like, I was like, Oh, I'm the only, I, I'm the, I'm a
3:04
gringo in this place, you know, I'm saying.
3:05
And they were super cool. But I wait.
3:07
I mean, money's money. But I understand what what
3:11
people feel like. I, I had this, whoa, this weird
3:14
feeling because I'm like, wow, I just stepped into somewhere I've
3:16
never been basically. And, and so Can you imagine
3:20
living in a, in a turbulent time when that was the norm, like
3:24
and, and, and, and the police and the law, they allowed the,
3:28
the atrocities that they allowed.
3:31
So for me, Jesse Jackson, that that's kind of what that legacy
3:34
for me is, you know, we didn't live during that time and, and
3:38
what he what he championed, I guess.
3:40
Right. I was going to say now, since
3:43
his passing, there have been a bunch of people who have been
3:47
saying because of him that are African American, that are like
3:51
because of him, I got into politics.
3:53
I like he inspired me. He made me believe that I can.
3:57
Be a part of. This I can do this, yes.
3:59
And so just seeing that impact that he made, like, yeah, he ran
4:03
for president. Who was it in 84?
4:06
Yeah, twice. Yeah, but a couple times, yeah,
4:09
yeah. So just the fact that he just
4:12
put himself out there and ran is what inspired these people.
4:16
And so I thought. Well, he even laid you could
4:18
even you could even say he laid the groundwork for Obama because
4:22
because for so long and and even to this day, it's like this
4:25
nation does not want to elect a black president.
4:27
I mean, they don't want to elect a black president or they or
4:29
even a black woman or even a woman, right?
4:32
So, yeah, but guys like, but guys like Jesse Jackson was out
4:35
there laying the, you know, lay in the brick before Obama came
4:39
along. And so I think that that there
4:41
is a debt of gratitude and and he's gonna be sorely missed.
4:45
Yeah, definitely. OK, so now we can move on to
4:48
happy things. So how is Valentine's Day?
4:53
OK, so I I'm able to come back and report now.
4:57
So Are you ready for a good report?
4:58
So it's good, OK. It's good.
5:00
Well, I talked about, OK, so I talked about my wife's hang up
5:04
about Valentine's Day because it's like she she doesn't
5:07
necessarily want to do anything right?
5:09
And it doesn't matter to her her.
5:11
Birthday is right is. It's yeah, her birthday is
5:15
coming up, right? So it's, it's her birthday is
5:17
exactly one week from Valentine's Day.
5:19
So I thought that it had to do with her birthday.
5:22
I'm like, OK, maybe she's been stiffed in the past, blah, blah,
5:24
blah, all these different things.
5:26
So I had a heart, heart to heart talk with her and discovered
5:30
that in her mind, sometimes it's just a useless holiday to her.
5:35
I mean, I kind of feel the same. I feel like it's just trying to
5:38
get money out of people and. She she that's that.
5:42
It's not about that she not love me or do anything like that, you
5:45
know, And so, and she did send me a funny, she did send me a
5:50
funny video about all, all a man wants is ABJ and a, and a
5:53
sandwich, a a little parody song, you know, I mean, cause
5:57
and that was some guys like, you know what, what, what?
6:00
Yeah, when I think about, you know, when, when, when you ask a
6:03
man what they want, then that's a hilarity parody song that she
6:05
sent me was like, that's basically it.
6:07
You don't have to shop for, you don't ever have to shop for a
6:09
guy. So, but The funny thing was so
6:12
she said, yeah, to her, it's just a, it's a throwaway.
6:14
So it's like, you know, you're going to do flowers, go to
6:16
dinner, candy. So in her mind, it wasn't, I
6:19
thought it was all about wrapped around her birthday, but it
6:21
wasn't. It was literally she just does
6:22
not find the value in Valentine's Day.
6:25
Now what we did, of course, is she ended up getting me candy,
6:30
which she told me not to get her nothing.
6:33
So she did, but she gave me a she got me a because she knows I
6:36
love Reese's peanut butter cups. So she got me a Reese's peanut
6:39
butter heart. So it's kind of cool, right?
6:42
Well, she put it in with and she got Kyron a bag of Heath, little
6:46
Heath bars Valentine's Day. So so anyway, she told Kyron to
6:50
come pick up his candy and he took my heart.
6:53
He took, oh, he did. Well, he didn't know he did
6:55
because they were stacked on each other.
6:57
And so, and so I so I said, Hey, did you see my Reese's peanut
7:00
butter heart? And she's like, no.
7:02
And I said, and she goes and she goes, Kyron must have taken it.
7:04
So it's hilarious that they were stacked on each other, but he
7:06
just took it. So I didn't get the the peanut
7:08
butter part, but we did. So we ended up going to it's
7:13
funny. Here's OK, this is a great
7:14
story. So my wife I kept all week long.
7:17
Hey, what do you want to do? What do you want to do?
7:18
I kept throwing ideas out. She kept shooting them down
7:21
bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. So anyway, she finally sent me
7:24
three options because here's a couple options and one was
7:28
Barnard Griffin, which is a winery.
7:30
And she goes, well, the tickets are expensive.
7:31
And so the tickets were $106.00 apiece for this, for this, for
7:36
A5 course, dinner, 5 course. Dinner.
7:38
Oh, that's fine then. So, so, so it's going to be over
7:42
200 plus dollars for dinner, right?
7:44
Then she sent another little Valentine's Day, which was Ice
7:47
Harbor Brewery and that was like 60 bucks a person.
7:51
And then she sent the Tri and then she sent me a link to the
7:53
Tri-City Americans, which is our local hockey team.
7:55
I said, oh, so I mean that oh, we'll go to a hockey game, grab
7:58
some dinner and then and then we kicked around going to a movie.
8:01
She looked at what movies were out and she, I mean, she did a
8:03
bunch of different things and I knew that the first thing she
8:06
sent me the the barn. Which one did she really?
8:10
I mean, she didn't say that. That's when she wanted.
8:12
Well, she didn't say that, but that's the one we that's the one
8:15
we decided on. And it's that again, going back
8:18
to the first thing out, you know what I'm saying?
8:20
Right, instead of the hockey game that you wanted to do
8:22
because it's probably the cheap route.
8:24
Well. It wasn't even about being, it
8:26
wasn't about being cheap, but it was.
8:28
The funny thing was she we decided on the barn Barnyard,
8:33
Barnyard Griffin, so we did that.
8:35
So it was a it was great. And The funny thing about going
8:37
out to those fancy dinners is the portion sizes are the right
8:40
size. They're like, no, they're like
8:42
tiny. Like, yes, yes, so so the
8:45
hilarity about that is, of course, you know, that's the
8:48
real portion size you should be eating as a human.
8:50
Yes, yeah, like the size of your fist is what we should be
8:54
eating. But but the hilarity is but we
8:56
don't. So anyway, so we did that.
8:58
It was, it was a lot of fun. And then we went to a winery.
9:02
We had winery or we'd had brewery is out near our home.
9:05
So we went out there and she had a she had a stout and she even
9:07
took a a video of me taking a sip off the stout.
9:10
Holy shit. So when it says chocolate, it's
9:13
a chocolate stout, right? It's no, it's I.
9:16
Want to I want to taste some effing chocolate.
9:19
They don't. Like they never taste like what
9:21
they are. Don't say it.
9:23
Oh, here's oh, this is strawberry.
9:24
Whatever. No, it is it.
9:25
It never tastes like so anyway, you already know I'm a non
9:27
drinker. I don't drink at all.
9:29
And so to me, it's bitter beer face.
9:30
And she took a she took a video of it because she thought it was
9:33
hilarious and she knew I would hate it.
9:35
At least she took a sip and tried it so.
9:37
Yeah, yeah. And so then we came home and we
9:39
watched a movie. I got to recommend it.
9:42
The life, the life of Charlie. Life of Charlie.
9:46
My gosh. Loki.
9:47
Loki is in it. Who's the actor that plays Loki?
9:51
Tom Hiddleston. Oh, yeah, yeah.
9:54
So, and it's an amazing, it's it's based on a Stephen King
9:59
book or a short story. And and so it was absolutely
10:02
great. So anyway, so yeah, it turned
10:04
out, it turned out, turned out pretty good.
10:06
So that's, that was my my Valentine's Day.
10:08
And that was pretty good. Don't you think?
10:11
I was a pretty good, I mean. Yeah, that was really good.
10:14
So but I will bring this up and I'm curious so and help me walk
10:18
me through this and this is not to be TMI, right?
10:20
OK, one thing I've noticed about my wife is no is she?
10:26
I don't know how do I put this into like she makes.
10:29
So you won't get in trouble. No, no, no.
10:31
It's one of those things where it's one of those things where
10:34
you normally think we go to dinner, we come home and you get
10:37
naked basically, right. So, but with my wife, my wife,
10:41
my wife Will Will play, what is it, Wordle?
10:46
Yeah, my wife will play my wife will.
10:49
We, like I said, dinner. We went to the winery.
10:52
We watched a movie, then we got into bed.
10:54
And then she's playing Wordle. So she.
10:57
So she makes me wait. I guess I just got it.
11:00
This is the Wordle of the day. Or whatever, whatever.
11:05
So whereas I am a man and I want to get down to business.
11:09
Right, you're. Like no, no, exactly.
11:12
So I'm like now number one, I will, I will be 100% truthful,
11:16
honest with it too. I'm always afraid of falling
11:18
asleep because I'm at that age. I'm just.
11:20
Going to say I picture you falling asleep or try not to
11:23
fall asleep at night. Exactly, but I'm waiting.
11:26
But I'm waiting for the young guy.
11:27
I'm Yum. So I got I got I'm waiting for
11:30
the Yum yums. I got no choice.
11:31
But because to me I'm like, OK, 8:30 at night, let's get this
11:35
going. Let's get what I'm saying.
11:36
Let's wrap tie this off and and my wife will drag it out with
11:41
just scrolling her Facebook, watching a video.
11:44
Yeah, you know, different things.
11:45
I mean, she do it. I think she does it on purpose.
11:48
I she, she I because we as women know that you guys like the
11:53
chase, so to speak and so. No.
11:57
She's having. If she's making you have to work
11:59
for it more, then that makes sense from our perspective.
12:04
Rick Michaels don't even chase because because to me, I look at
12:09
it like dinner, the brewery, the movie.
12:11
You played Wordle, you played Wordle.
12:14
Like when are we getting down to business here?
12:16
It's either not, or you need to get her drunk or I don't know.
12:20
No, no, I mean, we've had this conversation too.
12:22
She's we've also had this conversation too.
12:24
Well, she's like, you don't have to get me drunk to blah, blah,
12:27
blah. So, but I'm, but I'm like, but
12:29
you tend to be more happy, not drunk, but I'm saying you tend
12:33
to be more frisky if I, if I fill you up with some from
12:38
alcohol or whatever. So, so from your perspective,
12:42
and it's not about TMI, but it's like so, so I mean, I guess it's
12:45
different because you don't see Jay for an entire week.
12:48
Right. So, so you're like, this is so
12:50
are you, are you? I guess the question is, are you
12:52
just to get down to business kind of person or are you like,
12:55
no, I'm going to drag this shit out?
12:57
It really depends. Like obviously if you're going
12:59
to wear your lingerie or that kind of thing.
13:01
Like I'm you're not playing Wordle.
13:03
You're not. If.
13:05
You were right, you know, Like this is, this is the purpose,
13:09
this is the intent. This is Valentine's Day,
13:11
whatever it is, like, you know, and when he is home, like I'm
13:15
really not on my phone that much when he is home.
13:19
That's sweet. Because, you know, that's the
13:22
limited time that I have with him.
13:23
And so I try not to be on my phone too much.
13:25
Obviously if the kids text or whatever it is, then I'll
13:29
respond. But really both of us try not to
13:31
be on our phone too much. I mean, he obviously has to be a
13:34
little bit more because he is the general manager and so he
13:37
has to be available for his job at all time.
13:39
So, so yeah, I usually don't play Wordle.
13:43
I don't, I don't know. I don't know why she does that.
13:47
That I don't know. That doesn't make sense to me.
13:49
Because remember, she's give her, give her.
13:52
Credit then like she's just trying to make you either.
13:55
She's trying to either build up the anticipation for you or.
13:58
No, I. Think you chased it?
14:00
I don't know. Like, well, I, I think she also,
14:03
you have to remember she's very sensible.
14:05
We've talked about that. She's just very sensible.
14:06
So like a great example is like, oh, well, maybe some lingerie or
14:09
whatever. She's like, why?
14:10
It never stays on more than two minutes.
14:13
She goes, why do I, why do you want lingerie?
14:14
It it's off. So is that, is that a sensible?
14:18
I'm like, well, you can keep it on.
14:20
I get. I mean.
14:22
I mean, that's. Depend on what it is, yeah.
14:25
She's like, but it's like she goes, she goes, she goes, yeah,
14:28
it's, it's off in a minute. So why, why am I doing that?
14:32
But it's. But it could spice things up or
14:35
it changes things up. It mixes things up.
14:38
I mean, depending on what the lingerie is, she could be the
14:40
sexy nerd, she could be the sexy super.
14:43
I don't know. No.
14:44
It's one of those things. So yeah.
14:46
So it's, it's like, it's like, I guess the like, like you were
14:49
just like, let's say role-playing.
14:51
And this is, I mean, it's not to go into the weeds, but
14:53
role-playing is like, you know, it's like, oh, if I wanted to
14:55
wear a Spider man shirt or something, you know, now, could
15:00
you, when you talk to Jay, do you just tell Jay, hey, I want
15:03
you to wear if if you're like, I want you to do this up as a UPS
15:05
guy or what? Yeah, or I would buy it for him.
15:09
Yeah, OK. OK, all right, all right, right.
15:11
But I always feel for me, I just feel embarrassed to ask for
15:15
those different things because my, because again, my wife is
15:17
very sensible. So when I say something it
15:19
doesn't, she doesn't. She doesn't turn me down or say
15:21
no or anything. Right, She's like, why?
15:24
Yes, yes, I guess. And so I'm.
15:27
You have to provide a sense of a reason.
15:29
Basically, right, exactly. So anyway, so it turned out it
15:33
actually was it was really great.
15:35
Her birthday's coming up. Her mom's going to be here on
15:38
Thursday, her brother's going to be here on Friday.
15:40
She she reserved at that brewery that she likes.
15:44
They have a big glass Dome, so she reserved it for a couple
15:46
hours on Saturday. So we're going to do her family
15:50
and her friends are going to come out there and she's
15:53
inviting people. And so it's it's good.
15:54
Nice. Her mom's great.
15:56
Well, her mom and her brother are great.
15:57
And so, and then I did save the receipt.
16:00
I got her that tent. So what did I tell you?
16:02
I was going to get her a tent. No, we have not discussed what
16:04
you were going. Because she, well, last week she
16:06
was home. So last week she was home.
16:08
So she, she has a campsite that she goes to an Oregon.
16:13
So we have so we have a campsite.
16:15
So it's four, it's 4 hours away, but we have a campsite to where
16:21
it, so it's one of those, it's those year long campsites where
16:24
you pay a yearly due and so you have your sites.
16:28
So it's not one of those that you change sites.
16:30
So, so she's like last year she spent $1000 and put gravel in
16:33
her sights. I mean, yeah, you, you make the
16:37
site. Your site how you want it.
16:39
Yes, yeah, exactly. Within the rules of the camps of
16:42
the campground. Great.
16:43
So. So.
16:44
Yeah. So I mean, so, yeah.
16:46
So she, you know, she cleared a path and all these different
16:48
things that she's done in her past.
16:49
So she'd been at, she had a, she had a tent over her fire pit and
16:53
she didn't think it was big enough.
16:54
So I reached out to her mom and said, Hey, what size tent should
16:58
I get? And so then I went and got one
17:00
at big 5. And so it's in the, it's in the
17:02
man cave right now. So, but now, now The thing is,
17:04
it's that huge box. Do you wrap it because it's
17:08
freaking longer than crap? I mean, you could.
17:11
It's going to take like a couple of rolls.
17:12
Around, yeah, it does. It does.
17:14
It does or or you just say I mean.
17:17
Or get one of those big gift bags.
17:19
They have the giant, the jumbo gift bags.
17:21
Oh, I'd like to see what it's biggest.
17:23
It's 13 by. 13 I mean, you get a couple of those and just instead
17:26
of wrapping paper, that's what I would.
17:27
Do hilarious. So yeah.
17:30
So anyway, Yep, so her birthday's coming up, got a
17:32
great, got a little b-day plans. Good, good.
17:34
Now we're gonna now we're gonna go 360 this thing back to how
17:37
was your Valentine's Day? It was good.
17:39
It was low key because like Megan, I think Valentine's Day
17:43
is just one of those holidays that it's just all these
17:47
businesses trying to get money out of people.
17:49
Sure, like you can say how much you love that person whatever of
17:53
course which like Jay and I got each other cards and he was home
17:58
again. Normally depending on where
18:00
Valentine falls, he is not home during the week.
18:03
So if it falls during the week, then he's not home.
18:06
And so, so that's kind of why he got the flowers for all the
18:14
employees. At the radio station.
18:23
Not that you would date anybody at the radio station because
18:31
most DJ's are stinky. Yeah, stinky and nasty, but but
18:35
it still was a signal to don't be sniffing around my meat.
18:38
Right. Is that?
18:39
Is that the purpose of sending flowers to?
18:43
I took it from Jay as the purpose that Jay sent flowers.
18:47
This is my prize possession. And if you're sniffing around my
18:50
meat, you're going to be knowing that there's another bowl,
18:53
there's another, there's another bull in the stable.
18:55
Right. Look at these flowers.
18:57
You obviously can't afford it. Well, we.
18:59
Didn't just, we didn't just send you flowers and they were very
19:02
nice flowers. Yeah, they were.
19:04
It wasn't a $30 Safeway bouquet. No, I think it was Gasparetti's.
19:08
Yes. Yeah.
19:10
So yeah, in the in the elite it. Was way over the top.
19:13
It was not necessary. In the elite tier.
19:18
The gold tier. Yeah, No, I don't know how it
19:21
would be. So he bought me flowers.
19:23
Yeah, he bought me a little bag of M and NS the Valentine's
19:27
months because that's my favorite candy.
19:29
And then we just went to Bronner, the, you know, brewery
19:32
out and now cheese that has pizza because we love their Taco
19:34
pizza. I'm like, I don't want to go
19:36
anywhere, fan. It's Saturday.
19:37
It's going to be like packed. I'm old.
19:40
Now I don't want to have. To deal with this shit.
19:42
So yeah, so that's what we did. We're just like, yeah, went to
19:46
the brewery, had some pizza. Easy peasy.
19:49
We kind of sort of did that and and you did and you didn't make
19:52
him wait for it. So that's good.
19:53
So. No it.
19:54
Didn't play. No, it's Valentine's, right?
19:58
Why? I know exactly, exactly.
20:02
So no, it was it was it was good.
20:04
And my and and you know, my wife says I make her sound like a bee
20:07
and I and she's not she's my she's amazing.
20:10
She you've met Megan. Megan is.
20:12
Yeah, no, she Megan puts up with you.
20:15
No. She does, she does.
20:17
She puts up with me. But, and she is pretty, pretty
20:20
incredible. It's just, you know, it's one of
20:22
those just one of those things they have to have to get ahead
20:26
of. I, I do my best, I try.
20:28
Oh, she was proud of me this year because normally I always
20:32
go no matter what she says, I go against what she says no matter
20:34
what. And so she did say no flowers or
20:37
candy. So I literally didn't do it at
20:39
all. Normally I would get a card and
20:41
some candy and and put it in her car on her seat or I have a
20:44
surprise her. Right.
20:45
Which is. That's nice.
20:47
It is nice, but I didn't do any of that this year.
20:49
And she was OK with that or she or she wasn't.
20:52
Like where was my candy? Not at all.
20:54
She was like, she goes, I'm glad she goes.
20:56
I'm glad you finally listened to me and didn't get me any candy.
20:58
Great. Yeah.
20:59
So she was very happy with. That, I mean, it's nice to get
21:01
our favorite candy, but then again, if we're trying to watch
21:05
what we're eating or diet or and then it's around the house and
21:09
then we're going to eat it and. Yeah, so that, I mean, that's
21:12
probably 99.9% because I eat like a 12 year old.
21:16
And so, and so she I, you know, I didn't, I didn't realize I've
21:20
I've gotten better. The importance of not having
21:23
chips or not having candy bars or not having junk food in the
21:26
house because you know, she's, she's all she's always going to
21:29
the gym or she's always show meal prepping, all these
21:32
different things. And she and she goes when you
21:34
leave candy bars in the house or when you leave chips, I'm going
21:37
to eat them good. Because to me, because now there
21:40
is a big difference between Megan and I, I'm a mood eater.
21:43
So to me, it's like if I don't feel like having a candy bar, I
21:46
won't have a candy bar. Right.
21:47
So even though, even if there's ice cream, even if there's ice
21:50
cream right now in the freezer, it's like, unless I feel like
21:53
ice cream, I won't have a bowl of it.
21:55
And, and sometimes stuff it'll just go bad because I will never
21:59
touch it because, because I have to be in the mood to eat, to eat
22:03
stuff. So whereas she just says, well,
22:05
if there's ice cream, I'm just going to eat it.
22:07
So that's the difference in that.
22:09
So I I've I've gotten better at not not having basically junk
22:12
food in the house so. Yeah, I mean, it's hard for, I
22:15
think I'm a bored eater. So if I'm watching TV then I
22:20
have a habit of snacking more and I really have to watch that.
22:23
So that's always been a challenge for me.
22:25
So yeah, that's that's. That's the trick.
22:28
Super low blood pressure and so I'll crave like salty things.
22:32
So like chips because that's my body saying, hey, your blood
22:35
pressure is low, we need to like bump it up.
22:37
And chips are shit for you. Like you really shouldn't eat
22:41
that many of them. And that's what I want because
22:43
they have the salt on them and I'll just sit there and eat like
22:45
half the bag. While I'm watching this.
22:47
TV show Yeah and go what the hell?
22:49
Stupid serving size that you know when they when you go buy a
22:52
little bag of whatever and it says, oh, it's, you know,
22:55
whatever it is serving size. Well, even the little, even the
22:57
little bag of Doritos is actually 3 servings.
23:00
So you see. So you see.
23:01
Four chips, right? You look at and you go, oh, it's
23:04
130 calories. And then you eat the bag and
23:07
you're like, no, the bag was 800 calories.
23:09
You know, I was like, bullshit. I know I call bullshit.
23:12
Yeah, well, hopefully her birthday will be fabulous, and
23:15
it's, I think it's gonna be great.
23:16
Valentine's, I think. It's gonna be good because her
23:18
mom's gonna be here and her brother's gonna be here and mom
23:21
can direct traffic, so. That's always good.
23:25
Yeah, well, her mom's great. Her mom's great too.
23:28
And so I'm, I do know, I'm DDI do know that.
23:31
So we're going to do wine tasting.
23:32
So she wants to go wine tasting on her birthdays.
23:34
So. So her brother and her mom and
23:37
her. I will probably have to be
23:38
driving around. Well, that's good, yeah, because
23:40
you can get lit wine tasting. Yeah, exactly.
23:44
You don't. Relax.
23:45
It but the but the bummer thing is because mom is in the house,
23:48
guess what ain't happening? Fun land.
23:51
Fun Land will be shut down. Because Mom is in it.
23:53
What's that? Well, it's Megan's birthday.
23:56
And that's the and that's the least thing she wants.
23:59
Like, like if you were going down a list of what she wants
24:01
for her birthday, guarantee that is like not even on that's not
24:06
even on her list. So I remember it was funny years
24:09
ago. So we go visit her parents in
24:11
Salem, in Salem on occasion, right.
24:14
And I remember that we were in her childhood bedroom and it and
24:18
it has and it has stars on the ceiling.
24:20
You know, she had, you know, it's a kids room, you know what
24:22
I'm saying? And her parents and her mom's
24:25
room is, I mean, it's still far enough away, right.
24:28
And I and I tried to make a move and she's like, no, not in my
24:31
not in my childhood bedroom. And I was like, well, I'm sure
24:34
old man mountain's been in here. Oh no.
24:36
Oh God. I was gonna say like she's had
24:40
other. Boyfriends.
24:42
Well, yeah, And her, her high school boyfriend or whatever she
24:45
used to travel from, she used to travel from Salem to Portland
24:50
every other weekend to go see the the boyfriend in high
24:52
school. But she has also said that's
24:55
been her biggest regret because she spent her entire high school
24:58
with the same guy, basically. And so.
25:02
So it was and then and then, and then.
25:04
But I still can at least joke about it.
25:06
Right. Yeah, so.
25:09
I trust me. I do this on the radio too.
25:10
I call them, I call them Man Mountain.
25:12
I think we've discussed Man Mountain before, right?
25:14
I yes, I think in a past podcast.
25:19
And on the radio show I'm sure we've talked about.
25:21
Yes, yeah, I'm not sure Mountain.
25:23
Yes, I know on the radio we've gone into more detail who he is
25:28
and. Well, so.
25:31
What role he plays in her life or whatever.
25:34
It is so, so OK now. Now maybe you're now.
25:37
Maybe you look at it differently.
25:38
Here's the deal. Have you ever looked?
25:40
Does Jay? OK, First off, I have to ask a
25:41
question. Does Jay have any photos of his
25:43
exes? Yes.
25:45
OK. Are they all like you I guess is
25:49
the question. No, OK, no, I think like I think
25:52
I'm the exception. You know how everybody has a
25:55
type and his before me was always like dark haired girls.
26:00
And so I mean not always, but the majority.
26:04
There was some blondes mixed in there, but not very much.
26:07
So yeah. Right.
26:08
So, so when I so Ethan Mann Mountain, there's a picture of
26:13
when I first met Megan, he's like 6-5 or something like that.
26:18
And then she was probably God probably weighed 120 at the time
26:21
in high school. So he, he, he was ginormous.
26:25
Like he's big. And so I'm saying.
26:28
And so I'm like, well, what, what, why are you married?
26:30
Why are you married to me? Like, like I'm not even that,
26:34
that just from a physicality standpoint, not even, not even
26:37
close to Man Mountain. So, so that's kind of so.
26:40
Yeah. So I always, I always bring
26:42
that. I always bring that up.
26:44
So because when you you see somebody.
26:46
Yeah. Wouldn't.
26:46
Now, wouldn't you see that if you saw Jay with somebody that
26:49
was just diametrically different?
26:51
Yeah. Wouldn't it make you wonder?
26:52
Well, I mean, let's see. Yeah.
26:54
The problem is you're attractive.
26:56
See, that's the thing, you know, that's the that's the.
26:58
That's why this story doesn't work.
26:59
Are. You saying you're not?
27:01
I'm not. I don't think I was attractive
27:03
when I was younger, so I don't think I was attractive when I
27:05
was younger. So yes.
27:06
You were. Yes, you were.
27:08
Think so? Because I don't think so.
27:09
No, my teeth were like all jacked like that.
27:13
Well. We all had yes I know you had
27:14
your insecurities but great. But, but in my realm of the
27:18
universe, you're still attractive.
27:19
So OK, when he was younger, Yeah.
27:21
And you have seen a picture like my homecoming photo.
27:25
Yeah, yeah. So you know, I'm in, you know,
27:27
I'm a 4.5 on a good day. So now hopefully the personality
27:31
makes it up, makes it up a notch to a six.
27:33
That's. Probably, Yeah, Yeah.
27:35
If I'm lucky, if I'm lucky now, maybe maybe 10 years ago, 20
27:38
years ago, I was probably A5. See.
27:40
Maybe mountain man, mountain, whatever, whatever you call him,
27:43
maybe he doesn't have a good personality.
27:45
Well, no, he was a hey, I, hey, I call.
27:48
I could see it. I give him credit.
27:49
He was not not a it wasn't a bad looking dude now.
27:52
He didn't have a good personality is what?
27:56
I'm saying, well, Megan says, well, now, I mean they do keep
27:58
in contact today and Megan says that he's 300 lbs and she would
28:03
never in a billion years because they're so politically die of
28:07
different. Now he's a he's a massive
28:09
Trumper and like just politically she goes, she goes.
28:12
I couldn't even stand to be in the same room with the guy if
28:15
but they still they still are friends and they still chitchat.
28:18
I used to get jealous about it all the time, Like, why is she
28:20
talking to man mountain all the time?
28:22
And but you know what? And I, I, I, I will give myself
28:26
credit. I did a smart thing for the
28:28
first time ever years ago was I wasn't like snooping on her, but
28:33
I could see that she was texting him, but she never told me she
28:35
was texting him, right. And I thought, and I just never
28:38
brought it up. I'm like, you know what?
28:39
I'm just not going to bring it up.
28:40
And so we're driving down the road one day and she goes, Oh,
28:42
by the way, I'm texting Ethan and blah, blah, blah, blah,
28:46
blah. So I was very proud of myself
28:49
instead of going, hey, what the F's going on here?
28:52
Why? Why are you?
28:52
Why are you texting him and not telling me about it?
28:55
Right. I, I let her, I let her tell me
28:59
all about it and I also let her say Matt.
29:01
And she goes, oh, I got, she goes.
29:03
I have nothing in common with her.
29:04
I can't even believe I dated that guy.
29:06
And then I went. Then I felt pretty good about
29:10
that situation, but I was so proud of myself.
29:12
Yeah, anybody, I anybody would be like what the fuck, right?
29:18
Not just. You right, so I'm, I'm proud of
29:20
myself that I let her So I so then I just knew nothing was
29:23
going on because she she brought it up in conversation.
29:26
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, but.
29:29
But there you go. A couple of funny stories for.
29:30
You. Yeah.
29:31
Yeah. Well, at least he won't be at
29:32
her birthday party this weekend, so.
29:34
No, he will not. I've never met him.
29:36
Now I have met No, no, I've never met Ethan in person.
29:40
I do. I have met Kyron's dad, Jeff.
29:43
So Kyron's dad's name is Jeff, and I guess we're kind of
29:47
similar. I would not.
29:49
I wouldn't say we're. I mean, he's bald, so I'm not.
29:53
So that might be, I am pretty. I am pretty damn proud that I
29:57
have hair at my age. Yes, you are lucky.
29:59
And lots of it. Yes.
30:01
And lots of it. And no Gray are very little, you
30:04
know what I'm saying? So, yeah.
30:05
So that, you know, but I think I have.
30:07
I mean, I guess I could see Kyron's dad, but and then and
30:11
then I really don't talk about the rest of the I mean, do you
30:13
ever talk about Jay's exes with her, with him or a lot?
30:15
I mean years ago, not stay. No, I mean, not anymore.
30:18
It's just because. Well, you guys broke up for a
30:21
little bit too. Yeah, we did on and off for
30:25
quite, I mean, especially when I was, when I turned 21, then it
30:28
was like, oh, like. He's So who was off to the
30:32
races? Were you off to the races when
30:33
you turned 21? When I turned 21, yes, yeah.
30:36
I was like, yeah, we're gonna break up because I'm gonna,
30:40
like, go out to the bars for a while.
30:42
So yeah. And then and then, and I love
30:45
your story because I think he came and said, okay, that's it.
30:48
Yeah, I mean kind. Yeah, I mean.
30:50
Like he came back to you and said hey.
30:52
Right. Yes.
30:53
I mean, yes, that's and, and there was a couple guys that
30:58
were interested in me that he knew and.
31:00
Around his meat. Yeah, well, no, we were broke
31:03
up, so that doesn't. Sniffing around my meat.
31:06
No, no, we were broke up. And so I think like, he actually
31:11
got into like a fistfight with one of them at the bar.
31:13
I wasn't there at the time, but right.
31:16
I heard about this later on. So yeah.
31:18
Again sniffing around his meat. Yeah, it didn't belong to him.
31:22
You already tagged in time you already tagged it.
31:24
Oh my. So that was that brings up
31:26
another good topic of conversation.
31:28
So my wife sent me a little cartoon about and it was a
31:31
little cartoon figures. And they were talking and this,
31:33
this, they're they this married couple reaches over and or it's,
31:37
it's a cartoon. Now remember it's a cartoon.
31:38
So it's not graphic, But he reaches over and grabs her butt
31:42
and the cartoon goes, that's my butt, not yours.
31:45
And the cartoon goes, well, no, we're married.
31:47
That's mine. And so, so, so anyway that
31:53
again, I, I absolutely agree with that.
31:55
I mean, I agree, of course. I mean, it's your hiney, I mean,
31:57
or it's your body, I mean, and if I, and if I do something that
32:01
makes you feel uncomfortable, I would absolutely want someone to
32:03
say, hey, that makes me feel uncomfortable.
32:05
So, but I was interested to see the comments underneath where
32:08
people are like, well, no, you're married like, well, like,
32:11
well that. So I'm, I'm surprised.
32:14
So there is some division in that I mean.
32:17
Was that mainly coming from men or women?
32:20
Well, men number one, well, men and well, it was interesting was
32:23
men and women were saying right, So, but I, you know, I of
32:26
course, I got the message from my wife, like don't touch her,
32:30
but I mean, but don't worry, I get that message every day.
32:34
So I'm good, I'm good. I'm familiar with the.
32:37
She was just making sure that you it was confirmed.
32:40
Like look, look here, I'm not the only one that doesn't like
32:44
this so. Because she's kind of crazy.
32:46
So it's like, so like if I if I give her a smooch and grab her
32:48
butt, she's like, well, I don't. Then she goes.
32:51
You expect something. Great.
32:53
So and I'm like, well, I don't always expect something.
32:55
If I smooch you and grab your butt, I don't always expect it's
32:57
not that I just want to give you a smooch.
32:59
But so anyway, that was but I I was still blown away by the
33:03
comments below. Yes.
33:05
By by the people, by the men and women saying, yeah, you, you own
33:08
that. What you know I that's not how
33:11
you know, that's not how I feel. No, I know that's not how you
33:14
feel, but. I never felt, never felt that
33:17
way about. It that's crazy that people were
33:20
especially men and women both were commenting like, Oh well,
33:23
that's mine because we're married.
33:25
Right. Well, I guess you could say that
33:26
about the guy too. Well, that's my you know, I hear
33:28
you. You know so.
33:29
That's not that's not the case. That's crazy.
33:33
Yeah, it's a weird, it's a weird world we live in.
33:35
Right. Yeah.
33:37
Today it's a it's a weird, a weird world that we live in, so.
33:40
It is. Speaking of weird, let's move on
33:42
to aliens. All right, let's hear it.
33:45
What do you got? Did you?
33:46
Well, did you see former President Barack Obama on that
33:51
podcast and the podcaster asked him about aliens?
33:55
And what do you say? Well, he had to go back and, and
33:59
clarify what he said because in the podcast he, he says that
34:05
that what did he say? He had to go back and like
34:08
clarify that he hasn't seen proof.
34:10
He basically said like he kind of thinks or believes there's
34:14
aliens on this podcast. And so everybody was like, Oh my
34:18
God, like he knows he's. And so we have to go back and
34:21
clarify like I haven't seen proof.
34:23
I haven't been to Area 51. And so I thought that was
34:26
hilarious, which I think like, we are so hubris to think like,
34:31
oh, we're the only intelligent. Life.
34:34
There like that's just ridiculous to me and there was
34:36
some guy that was on a podcast and I can't for the life of me
34:40
think of his name. I've been trying to find him,
34:42
but he worked in the government and he says like there is proof
34:48
that there are aliens and we are not the only intelligent life
34:53
and that the reason. Well we're one of the reasons
34:55
that they're keeping it from us is because we as people can't we
35:00
wouldn't be able to handle the fact that we are not the only
35:03
intelligent life yes. And so that's the other reason
35:08
that it is being kept from us is because we just we wouldn't be
35:11
able to process it and. Handle it.
35:13
What's the humans race number one goal, probably.
35:16
Like let's go kill the aliens because that's what we do, no.
35:19
That's what's in the movies. That's the sad thing about
35:21
human, human beings. I mean, it's like we, for some
35:24
reason, we just have this need to destroy anything and
35:26
everything that's not like us. I've always believed so.
35:30
I took astronomy in college. I loved it.
35:32
It's one of my favorite classes. I've always felt that I do
35:36
believe in this infinite universe with a billion planets,
35:40
there's absolutely got to be some type of life I or some type
35:43
intelligent life, absolutely. But I also think that the
35:46
distance is so vast between planets that until someone
35:50
creates the ability to travel between the world, they may be
35:54
here. I I would never say that.
35:55
I never say never. I never say never, but but I
35:59
also think that if there really were aliens at Area 51, Donald
36:02
Trump would have spilled those beans.
36:03
That was. Kind of my fault.
36:05
Too. Well, same with the JFK thing.
36:07
He declassified all the. The JFK, he would have sold it
36:10
to somebody. He would have.
36:12
There made no doubt that guy, that guy.
36:14
There's. I love that there's a movie with
36:16
the president, Book of Secrets or whatever, with national
36:18
treasure or whatever. Oh, and the book passes down
36:21
between President, President, I believe that up until Obama, I
36:26
believe. That and then they.
36:27
Bushes and Reagan and, and any, you know, the, the, the good
36:31
Republicans and the good Democrats all the way all the
36:34
way back in history, right? And then you got then you got a
36:36
wacko. And I'm like, no, Nope, there's
36:39
no presidential book because we got a wacko that would just
36:42
literally spill the secrets because but they.
36:44
Didn't know but that, but he, no he bragged.
36:47
About he can't. They didn't brag.
36:49
I mean, yeah, but going into that first term, we didn't know
36:52
how. I mean, especially now the
36:54
second term, we know like he has gone off the deep end.
36:57
But that first term he was a little bit calmer and tamer and
37:01
so you wouldn't think. Right.
37:04
I mean it. Wasn't until after that he like
37:07
had those classified docks in his bathroom, you know, that
37:10
kind of stuff. So going into it, you would be
37:13
like, well, I'm gonna give him this book or this binder.
37:16
So I'm gonna defend. I will.
37:17
I'll go with you on that. I'll go with you on that.
37:19
I'll defend first term. I mean, still cuckoo for Coco
37:23
puff. Team compared to this term.
37:25
This term is just off the rails. I'm with you on that.
37:28
But I also feel that his narcissism, his ego, he would
37:34
share that information. He just would.
37:36
Yeah, he just flat would share that information.
37:39
Right. Because he wants to be right.
37:41
He wants he wants the notoriety. He wants to be known for it.
37:44
Yes, especially I think telling like one of these world leaders,
37:48
you know like Xuji Ping or Putin, I could see him wanting
37:52
to to tell them because then it would be like, haha, I know this
37:56
information and you. He's a one.
37:58
Well, he's A1 Upsman, he's A1 Upspring person.
38:01
So. So if there was aliens in Area
38:02
51, he'd absolutely would have already disclosed that.
38:05
I, I, you know, I don't, I don't think he cares about national
38:08
security. No.
38:10
Not or, or, or any of that. Yeah.
38:12
So I'm with Obama on that. And you know what?
38:15
I I'm, I'm in the camp that yes, I I just cannot believe in an
38:19
infinite universe. We're that special.
38:22
Yes. I just can't.
38:24
I can't believe we're that unique.
38:26
We're we're we're here during a certain time.
38:28
You know, we had dinosaurs before us, different things and
38:31
and our time will go away. I mean, our time is here now,
38:34
and that's sad. Makes me I mean, you know, who
38:37
wouldn't love to live forever? And I I do love overall, I do.
38:41
I do love humankind and I think humans have a lot to offer and I
38:46
think we could be a definitely a kinder and better human race if
38:49
we would just, you know, put the petty.
38:51
Destroying things, yeah. Well, just the like you said,
38:54
one upsmanship, I got more money than you or more land.
38:57
And I mean, I hope, I hope there comes a day we as a human race,
39:01
you know, can be more enlightened and, and care about
39:04
everybody and, and for the betterment of mankind and not
39:08
just to make Jeff Bezos or, or Elon Musk rich.
39:11
And even for the, the, you know, the poor people to sit there and
39:14
defend them. Just the most ridiculous shit
39:16
I've ever heard in my entire life.
39:17
Yeah, that. Is crazy to me.
39:19
Well, we're getting ready for what?
39:19
A millionaire's tax in Washington and people are losing
39:22
their shit minds over this. And I'm like, really?
39:24
Well, they're and they're all saying, well, if there's a
39:26
millionaire sack, that means that everybody's getting taxed.
39:29
That's not true. No it isn't.
39:31
You have to make $1,000,000. Yes.
39:33
Yeah, a year. Yeah.
39:35
I am so far away from that. I'm good.
39:38
And they already take enough. I mean, they already take taxes
39:40
out. My my property taxes actually
39:42
went down this year. I was surprised by it.
39:44
That's good. Yeah.
39:45
So, I mean, I wanted to bitch and moan about it, but I was
39:47
like, no, I opened it up. Megan was with me, and I'm like,
39:50
here's the property taxes. All right, Let's see what we got
39:53
and I looked at I went this is down and so I went and checked
39:55
our, you know, our mortgage and went Yep, it's down a couple 100
39:58
bucks so I can't. That's good.
40:00
I'd love to bitch and moan about it so.
40:01
Yeah, but now you can't. I know since since Shaylee, you
40:05
know, is getting her college degree in genetics, I always
40:07
tease her. She talks about, you know, going
40:09
to work for the government or whatever.
40:10
And I'm like, go work at Area 51.
40:13
You can ride the Janet, which I saw the Janet airplane when we
40:17
were in Vegas one time on our plane, our plane getting ready
40:22
to take off. And I was like, Oh my, my God,
40:23
there's the Janet. I'm like, you can ride the
40:25
Janet. You can go like find out what's
40:28
at Area 51. And then she goes mom, but I
40:31
wouldn't be able to tell you anything, right?
40:33
Right. So, yeah, so Megan works at PNL
40:36
and she has national security clearance, right.
40:38
My wife has my wife has national security clearance.
40:40
And I joke about, hey, what are you doing today?
40:41
She goes. I can't tell you.
40:42
Yeah. And she went through the and she
40:45
went through the FBI. She had to be vetted because my
40:47
wife works at PNL. So she's vetted.
40:49
She's got a whatever level security clearance she's got.
40:52
And she goes, yeah, yeah, she goes, You can go look at things
40:55
you're not supposed to be looking at, but you don't want
40:57
to because then they know you are.
40:59
Who's going to say they know they're trying to know
41:02
everything they're doing? They know what you're looking.
41:04
They know everything. So it's one of those things
41:06
where. Yeah.
41:06
So I'm with you, Shaylee. I hear what you're saying and,
41:09
and, but, but I also believe, like you, Michelle, I think
41:12
anything's possible. Oh, definitely.
41:14
And and. Never know.
41:16
Yeah, but but I also know if I'm an alien, why would I?
41:18
Why the fuck would I want to share my technology with you
41:20
bastards? No, I would, you know, maybe
41:23
touchdown and be like, oh, peace out.
41:25
And I tried to go find another planet.
41:27
Like give me yeah, I yeah, we're yeah, we're the we're the worst
41:30
neighborhood in the in the solar system.
41:33
Like there's there's some great memes of aliens stop hovering
41:37
over Earth. Go Nope.
41:38
Keep moving. Yep, keep on we're.
41:40
We're the trailer park trash. We're the trailer park trash in
41:43
the universe basically. Yeah, Speaking of trash, I have
41:49
discovered a new trashy. I don't know it was trashy, but
41:53
it's it's one of those like mind numbing shows, kind of like the
41:57
Real Housewives. But this, my son Matthew
42:00
recommended it. He's like mom, you.
42:02
He knows that I like those stupid shows.
42:04
He's like, mom, you have got to watch the show.
42:06
It's called Suddenly Amish. It's on TLC.
42:08
Oh. Yes, I.
42:10
Have you seen? This I have not watched it but I
42:12
but I do I yes tell me about it all.
42:15
My OK, which wasn't the show on MTV where they took the Amish
42:21
kids that were going on Rum Springa?
42:23
Yeah, yeah. Wasn't done on MTVI, couldn't
42:25
remember but. MTV or Tilsa and they get yeah,
42:27
and they get to decide if they're going to be Amish or
42:29
not, and they go. Right.
42:30
And they get to experience, you know, modern stuff basically.
42:35
So this is kind of reverse opposite of that.
42:37
It's like English or non Amish people going and staying with
42:42
the Amish for 21 days and then they have to live like them.
42:47
And then at the end of the 21 days, then they decide if they
42:50
want to continue to pursue being Amish.
42:53
Now the I love so first, so first, I think it's first
42:58
episode, they go through their bags and one of the girls has a
43:01
pink vibrator. So they're in this Amish house.
43:04
And the Amish people? Are they're going through her
43:07
bags and they find this pink vibrator which is like.
43:11
Do they take it from her? Yeah, she has to like get rid
43:14
of. She has to get rid of it
43:16
because, because and then they asked the Amish.
43:20
It's like the Amish couple that they're staying with and they
43:22
ask them first. They ask them, you know, well,
43:25
do you know, have you ever seen a vibrator before in person?
43:29
Do you know about them? Like, you know, they're asking
43:31
them questions like that. Poor Amish people I.
43:34
Mean, you know, I felt so bad for them because they're just
43:37
like. Well, they're embarrassed.
43:40
What's an you know well? Yeah.
43:41
And then they go on to say, you know, yeah, we believe in self
43:45
pleasuring is against our, you know, it's duh, it's you can't
43:49
do it, basically. Yeah, of course.
43:52
Yeah, so they go on to explain that so that I think that is
43:56
like episode 1. And I'm like, Oh my God, like
43:58
this is some great TV. Whoever is whoever thought of
44:02
this and probably plan to, I don't know, told her to take the
44:07
Because who takes a vibrator into an Amish household?
44:10
Like what? Seems like it's set up.
44:11
It's almost. Like yes, you know it was, but
44:13
still looking. For a shot of looking for shock
44:15
value. Yes, but it was still fabulous.
44:19
And so one of the guys, he's hard of hearing.
44:21
And so his hearing aids are connected and controlled by his
44:25
phone. Well, you can't have your phones
44:27
and they take their phones away. And so now he can't have his
44:30
hearing aids. He can.
44:32
He could still hear, but he said it sounds like being underwater.
44:36
And so it's really hard for him to hear.
44:38
So he's going through that. Then one of the other guys is
44:41
divorced and they find out he's divorced.
44:44
And so being divorced is it's bad.
44:48
It would, yeah, it's bad. It's I mean, it happens in the
44:51
Amish community, but it's a very, very rare.
44:53
And if you do get divorced, you can't remarry.
44:57
And so he kind of gets chased off of the property by this
45:02
James guy who's the Amish guy. I the reason that this is
45:07
happening, not so much because he's divorced, it's because the
45:10
divorce guy has been flirting, flirting with one of the girls
45:14
that's there to see if she wants no, just to see if she wants to
45:17
become Amish, one of the English girls.
45:21
And so I think the guy that chases him off James, who I
45:24
don't like, he's definitely the villain of the show.
45:28
I think he likes the girl that the divorce guy has been
45:30
flirting with. Then the divorce guy comes back.
45:33
He decides like no, I'm not going to take this shit.
45:37
He comes back and then this last episode kind of leaves with him
45:42
and that girl going on like an Amish type of date.
45:46
And then it ends with them leaving at night and they have
45:51
their English clothes on and they're going, they went to like
45:55
the motel. That's where like this last
45:58
episode left. And I'm like, Oh my God.
46:00
And then the Amish guy for the preview, it shows him putting on
46:04
his clothes and going, there's only like 1 motel near this
46:08
town. And he's like knocking on their
46:10
door. Like I don't like, Oh my God,
46:12
whoever like scripted this show or whatever, this is fabulous.
46:17
Like I am hooked. I am hooked.
46:19
Oh, and then his cousin, so James the villain Amish guy, his
46:23
cousin Emma is also there. I don't know if they're like
46:26
first cousins or they're they're just cousins, but this last
46:31
episode it showed him like sneaking into like her room at
46:35
night. And I'm which leading up to
46:37
that, there have been some weird, just weird stuff between
46:40
them. They're like, I wouldn't talk to
46:43
my cousin like that or yeah, it's just weird flirty.
46:47
I don't. It was just like, I don't know
46:49
if they're really cousins but like I am hooked and love this
46:55
show. Yeah, what's the show called?
46:57
It's bananas. It's called suddenly Amish.
46:59
It's on TLC. Pulling this up because I got to
47:01
take a look at Oh it's on TLC. Yeah, I get excited when we're
47:04
talking about, my gosh, I'm like, I'm, I'm like hook, line
47:08
and sinker into the show. It's from 2013.
47:11
No, no, there's a new show. That's not it then.
47:14
OK, hang on. Oh, I'm sorry.
47:15
That's breaking Amish. Remember?
47:16
I remember breaking. Remember breaking Amish?
47:18
Yes. And then wasn't there like the
47:19
Amish mafia one? Yeah, because they like to
47:22
gamble and stuff like. Yeah, you're suddenly Amish.
47:26
Yes. So yeah, how many episodes are
47:28
in 5? Yes, 55 just like aired last
47:32
night that I watched. So the evil one just aired.
47:35
Yeah. Evil 1 Bishop Vernon has a
47:38
radical solution that's never been tried to offer six
47:40
outsiders the opportunity to join his community and become
47:43
Amish Tuesday. Which when I first.
47:46
Saw the show. What the like I'm looking at
47:49
this like he's all ghetto fied coming into the Amish community
47:53
and like what? Yeah, I think I start growing
47:55
the beards and stuff. I.
47:56
Don't you know Well, no, you can't grow a beard and let until
47:59
you're married. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
48:02
It's crazy which that the African American guy, he like
48:06
this this coming up episode, they all go to church and he's
48:10
like, I was the only black person there, which there are
48:14
black people in the Amish community.
48:16
But in the group that he's in there, he ended up being the
48:20
only one at the church. So yeah, yeah.
48:22
But I think his mom comes to like take him home.
48:27
It's on a like preview of of an upcoming episode, so.
48:31
Yeah, I don't think he's going to make it basically or.
48:33
I don't, well, I don't want to spill.
48:35
He's he has a secret that he needs to tell them that is not
48:38
going to be. It's not something that the
48:42
Amish are open to, so let's so to speak.
48:46
I don't know what. He's got a bunch of girlfriends
48:49
or. No, you.
48:51
Don't want to? You don't want.
48:53
To I don't want to spill it for you.
48:55
You. I got to leave something for you
48:56
to watch. I basically like spilled
48:58
everything else. God, I was like, but I was like,
49:01
yeah, but I I need to talk to somebody about this Matthew.
49:04
And I've been texting about it when I first saw this, the
49:07
preview for the show. I'm like, these people are not,
49:10
they cannot be really Amish because Amish people don't allow
49:13
themselves to be filmed or taken their picture of.
49:18
So I'm like, these people can't really be Amish, so.
49:24
I know. Now, remember, there are
49:26
factions of Amish too. They're not just all.
49:29
Yeah, so. They're not like the strict,
49:31
yeah. Right there are they're varying
49:33
degrees because I think yes, believe it or not, I think
49:35
there's some Amish that might even have a phone in their
49:37
house. Yes.
49:38
For for emergencies or something.
49:40
I mean, right, yeah, I think that there's varying levels of
49:43
being Amish. Now don't quote me, I'm not an
49:45
expert by any. Means no.
49:46
There are because Matthew and I were texting because the cousin,
49:49
the girl cousin, which one of the other girls she has like the
49:54
fake nails and the eyelashes and she's having a real problem like
50:00
get taking them off and they won't they won't.
50:04
Well, one of the girls won't help her get dressed in
50:07
traditional Amish clothing until she gets rid of them.
50:10
And so it just kind of shows her going through this whole like,
50:13
this is my identity. This is how society makes us
50:16
feel as women like we have to have these nails and these
50:19
eyelashes. So she's really struggling with
50:21
getting rid of them. And then she she finally does.
50:26
And in the like, independent interviews, I notice Emma, the
50:31
cousin, like her nails. There's no paint on them, but
50:35
they look like they're kind of like they have either acrylic on
50:40
them or something. I mean, because I know what they
50:43
look like as a girl and I'm like, she like her nails are not
50:48
like a normal, just a normal fingernail look.
50:52
So I'm like, like, if they can't have nails, why does she have
50:57
this on? And so I'm texting Matthew this.
50:59
I'm like, what? Why the hell this girl Emma got,
51:02
you know, she obviously has some kind of nails, but they're
51:05
trying to make it look like she doesn't because they're not
51:08
obviously painted or anything. And he's like, well, he's like
51:12
my friends and I like did some digging and he's like she she
51:17
only dresses Amish like she lives the English life, but she
51:20
only dresses Amish when she goes to visit her parents.
51:23
And then the James the villain guy, like he is trying to get
51:27
back into good standings with the church and that's why he's
51:30
doing this. But Matthew's like, yeah, I, we
51:33
like read that he's not really trying to get back into the
51:36
Amish church. And then the two, the married
51:39
couple that they're living with are actually Mennonites.
51:41
They're not really Amish. And I'm like, thank.
51:44
You Mennonites with Mennonites, I'm like.
51:46
OK, yeah, yeah, OK. This makes sense then.
51:48
Because I'm like, yeah, because Amish people wouldn't agree to
51:51
be filmed, photographed. Well, there's liberal, there's
51:55
liberal sets of it or whatever. Yes, yeah.
51:58
So so yeah, that's what I discovered because I was drawn
52:02
in hook, line and sinker and I was going down the rabbit hole
52:04
with this whole show. Yeah, well, now I'm going to
52:06
have some homework because I'm going to have to go check out
52:08
this show. Yeah, going to have to check it
52:10
out. And this is going to be
52:12
interesting, so. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if
52:15
you'll like it, but aren't. Aren't you into the Mormon wives
52:18
as well? Yes.
52:19
I know what you've got Too much, Michelle.
52:22
You got too much time on your hands, girl.
52:23
I don't know. Or either that or you love you
52:26
love drama. I mean, yeah.
52:28
And I love like mindless TV that you just kind of sit there.
52:32
I don't want to have to try to figure it out or I but I do like
52:36
watching Paradise with Sterling K Brown and that's kind of a you
52:40
have to think kind of thing. But so I do like some shows like
52:44
that but. Hard time, I Yeah.
52:47
Yeah, I just like the crazy drama.
52:51
I mean, whoever scripted this show, it's not reality reality,
52:54
but it is fun, right? It's fun to watch.
52:56
There's some fakery in there, like when I watch when I watch
52:59
Pawn Stars. Yes, yeah.
53:02
Or storage wars. They were like they were
53:05
planting this stuff. Yeah.
53:06
Yeah, they were. Ended up, they were planting
53:08
Well, of course. What?
53:09
Of course you have to make it interesting.
53:10
So, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, I would do that.
53:12
I would do the same thing, you know, So suddenly Amish Tuesday
53:16
nights on TLC. Yeah, they got they got a a
53:19
shameless plug. Yeah, this this episode brought
53:23
you by Suddenly Amish by. TLC, which we're almost at like
53:26
an hour already. Oh my gosh.
53:28
We didn't get to talk about the Olympics.
53:30
We didn't get to talk about. So, Guthrie, there's so much.
53:34
Such a such a list and I would love to talk about Savannah
53:38
Guthrie's mom, but I don't want to end the podcast on a down
53:41
note like that. So hopefully when we come back,
53:43
hopefully when we come back next week, we'll have more
53:46
information about it. So I know when it first
53:49
happened, I thought that maybe she sadly had wandered off and
53:52
passed away. Now there's so much other stuff
53:55
coming out. So I'm curious to see what the,
53:58
but I still don't think there's going to be a good resolution
54:00
for this at this time. But that's just me.
54:02
I'm optimist, optimist. Yeah, when you hear some of the
54:08
yes, when you hear some of the FBI profilers that or
54:11
negotiators and you know, the the people that deal with this
54:15
day in and day out that have all the knowledge that you and I
54:17
don't have. Yeah, a lot of them are saying
54:20
the likelihood that she's alive is slim based on statistics, so.
54:24
Law of averages, law of law of averages, well, and just for
54:27
age, medical needs, yeah, different things like that.
54:30
I think that that plays a big, big part in there so.
54:34
OK, we weren't supposed to end on a down note we're talking
54:37
about. But we will.
54:39
So that gives, you know, hey, we'll talk about it on the next
54:41
podcast and we'll talk are the Olympics wrapped up on the next
54:44
podcast too? I think they will be wrapped up
54:48
by then, so yeah. I will tell you before we go
54:51
about that, I did have a favorite.
54:53
For what? For figure skating.
54:56
Figure skater Ilia. Is it Ilia?
54:59
Oh yeah, the quad. God, yeah, I did want to talk
55:01
about that. He like, but he like.
55:04
He fell twice during his performance.
55:06
I know. I was so sad.
55:07
I love. Him, I think he's great, great
55:09
kid. He's he's what 8th?
55:12
He was 8th. I guess yes now don't feel bad.
55:16
He's already got a bunch of gold for other things.
55:18
So don't don't start crying for him.
55:20
But what an amazing talent. And I think some people were
55:24
saying that he's so young that when he comes back again.
55:29
In four years. In four years he's going to be
55:31
well, He's already incredible. Yeah, he's won everything else
55:35
basically possible for figure. Skating, but not but not that
55:39
one. Yes.
55:40
Not that one. And he's amazing.
55:42
Yeah, he's a great personality. I love him in the interviews,
55:45
he's adorable. So yeah.
55:47
But the women's competition is I think was happening today while
55:51
we're we are recording this podcast.
55:53
So yeah. Yeah, he he's one of my faves.
55:56
I love, I love his story. I think he's absolutely
55:58
fantastic. And he did get gold in the team
56:02
events. He got gold for the team event,
56:05
but not individual. So and then of course that
56:08
quadruple axle is what? Yeah, he's the quad guy.
56:12
That's why he's called Guy. Who's ever accomplished that?
56:14
Ever. Yeah, yeah.
