• 0:11
  enchanted. The song that's taking over the
• 0:14
  world. At least in mixed.
• 0:16
  World Rico man every every page I look at has this song on it
• 0:19
  so. I took the bus to.
• 0:25
  So what's the story behind? I have no idea.
• 0:28
  I like, I've just been seeing it everywhere and I'm like, man,
• 0:30
  that is catchy. Is it like a fan 'cause I mean
• 0:33
  it looks like it was fan made? Yeah, I'm assuming it's from
• 0:36
  like the same software that I always use for like my songs a
• 0:38
  little bit, but it's like, I don't know, it's just blown up
• 0:40
  on my TikTok. 'Cause then you were telling me
• 0:42
  like, isn't it like the official song now of Puerto Rico?
• 0:45
  Like I've been seeing it all over my TikTok too.
• 0:47
  If I was Puerto Rico, I would jump on this.
• 0:49
  But yeah, it's definitely made by a fan 'cause it's like talks
• 0:52
  about how it landed on the everyone.
• 0:54
  Everyone was laughing. I don't want to do all the
• 0:56
  tourist stuff and stuff like that.
• 0:57
  So yeah, hi, we're Nick and Kristen and welcome to the Nick
• 1:00
  and Kristen in the podcast. We're married and we have a 7
• 1:04
  year old. I, I remembered that I haven't
• 1:06
  established this for everybody. Like I'm just assuming people
• 1:09
  that already listened to our our morning show on the radio.
• 1:11
  New people. Exactly.
• 1:13
  And now I'm like, we should probably establish ourselves.
• 1:15
  If you're just joining us now, we are a married couple because
• 1:18
  things get weird and we're like, gosh, they sound like they're
• 1:20
  married. But yeah, so I, I want to come
• 1:23
  up with a song for another city and yeah, but it's just doesn't,
• 1:27
  it's not going to hit. This thing, well, it's not, but
• 1:28
  I mean it's all in the delivery, right?
• 1:30
  Because like who knew that the the Puerto Rico song was going
• 1:33
  to take off? And I mean like, so this is this
• 1:35
  is your time to shine because all the jingles, the Doctor
• 1:39
  Pepper Jingle went super viral. And so you made the video for
• 1:43
  Squirt and it went really popular.
• 1:46
  And now this is like, oh, well, if Puerto Rico can have a song,
• 1:50
  maybe the city of Vancouver, WA can have a song and you just
• 1:54
  show like Hwy. 99. That's.
• 1:56
  Pretty much. It Yeah 99 Saloon and the.
• 2:00
  It's just like there's like 5 things in Vancouver.
• 2:02
  So yeah, you. Go to the Baskin-robbins in the
• 2:04
  Panera next to each other. With gas prices right now, I
• 2:07
  can't be around the city filming stuff.
• 2:09
  It was like $6 a gallon to fill. Up.
• 2:11
  It was so insane. I spent $65 filling up our car.
• 2:15
  I know. And I was like, Oh my gosh, it's
• 2:17
  normally like 40 something bucks.
• 2:19
  Yeah, it was 80 bucks to fill up our our big car.
• 2:21
  And I'm like, well now I'm not driving that like it's electric,
• 2:23
  it's hybrid. But then at the same time I'm
• 2:25
  like, should I stock up on gas? Cuz I saw people like filling up
• 2:29
  little carton things and I and I'm like it is probably only
• 2:32
  gonna get higher. Yeah, but that's what they're
• 2:34
  saying is like we haven't really felt the impact of things yet
• 2:38
  and that that's coming. I don't know.
• 2:41
  I don't, I don't. But I also think like we don't
• 2:42
  want to hoard stuff. Like this isn't a pandemic in
• 2:45
  the toilet paper, right? Like that's why we had a
• 2:47
  problem. Yeah, well, the we have enough
• 2:49
  gas like and then we're gonna get it from somewhere.
• 2:51
  Yes. The problem is the company is
• 2:53
  charging us more. Yeah.
• 2:54
  So, but yeah, everybody's probably.
• 2:57
  Everybody's hurting, apparently the DoorDash and like Uber Eats
• 3:01
  business and just Uber in general has really gone down.
• 3:05
  Well, I bet yeah, nobody wants to be a DoorDash driver right
• 3:08
  now because it's taking, they're saying like you don't make any
• 3:10
  money, you break even. And at the at the end of the
• 3:13
  day, they're like, I'm not going to do this.
• 3:14
  Anymore, well, I'm still looking for a job and a lot of the jobs
• 3:17
  that are open are like driver position and I'm like, oh, I
• 3:19
  could easily do that, but it's like it's not enough.
• 3:22
  I need a gas stipend at this. Point exactly like unless you're
• 3:24
  going to cover the gas and the miles and then also pay me,
• 3:27
  which I don't see that's gonna I don't see how that's.
• 3:29
  You don't get both. I know.
• 3:31
  So like if I can find a company that's willing to pay me both, I
• 3:34
  might I might be a driver because I could listen to the
• 3:37
  radio all day. That'd be fun.
• 3:39
  Ohhh yeah, okay. Hey moneys money.
• 3:41
  Right. We used to be on the radio, now
• 3:43
  we're listening to it. We've been doing that.
• 3:45
  If I were you, this is what I would do segment, but it's a bit
• 3:48
  a little dark. It's been heavy.
• 3:50
  And so I'm I'm trying to adjust that.
• 3:52
  I'll work on that a little bit later.
• 3:53
  So this is kind of like that, but I think it's just more of an
• 3:56
  open discussion that leads into something else.
• 3:58
  So I saw this post. I've been dating this girl for
• 4:00
  two years. She's nice, pretty fun to be
• 4:03
  around. However, I've been noticed that
• 4:04
  she's kind of dumb. It hit home yesterday when we
• 4:07
  were playing the car game where one person thinks of a person,
• 4:09
  place or thing and the other asks a yes or no question to
• 4:12
  figure out who that is. During this game, I realized
• 4:14
  that not only did she not know who John Wilkes Booth is, she
• 4:18
  said she had only heard of only heard of Abraham Lincoln.
• 4:21
  She had no idea. Everybody's only heard of
• 4:24
  Abraham Lincoln. I don't know.
• 4:26
  I know, but I don't think she knew he was like the president.
• 4:29
  She had no idea what the Civil War was.
• 4:30
  I was pretty convinced that World War 2 happened in the
• 4:32
  1800s and when asked who the 1st president was, I had to give her
• 4:36
  a hint saying like George and she responded Oh yeah, Bush.
• 4:40
  Then we stopped playing after an argument resulted because she
• 4:42
  was adamant that Washington DC was in the state of Washington.
• 4:45
  I had to pull up a map to show her.
• 4:46
  When politely asked about her lack of history knowledge, she
• 4:49
  just said that she never paid attention to that stuff in
• 4:51
  school. What should I do?
• 4:53
  She's kind of history dumb. Yeah, I mean, but like, what
• 4:57
  aspects of her life is she not dumb in?
• 4:59
  I mean, like, everybody's dumb about something.
• 5:02
  Yeah, that's what I thought too. But also as I was like reading
• 5:05
  this, I was like, that was your guy.
• 5:07
  You said like think of a person and then you can ask answer no.
• 5:10
  Question. John Wilkes, but like.
• 5:13
  What do you got on the brain here, buddy?
• 5:14
  Yeah. I mean, like, I don't know, I,
• 5:17
  I, I think there should be a, a, a general knowledge base, right?
• 5:22
  Like you should know that George Washington was the 1st
• 5:24
  president. Yes, I believe that's taught
• 5:26
  several times in in class. Yeah, but does it help you in
• 5:29
  any aspect of your life? Probably not.
• 5:32
  And it's. Only watching Hamilton.
• 5:33
  And it's only, it's a, it's a one Google away.
• 5:36
  You know what I mean? Like who's the 1st president?
• 5:38
  George Washington. All right, now I have that
• 5:39
  knowledge. She's 25 and she's 29, so like,
• 5:43
  they've had Google their whole life it seems like.
• 5:45
  I guess I would look deeper into like, why?
• 5:48
  What else does she not know? Is this a deal breaker?
• 5:52
  If you're a poli sci major and this is the thing you love
• 5:55
  talking about the fact that you pulled out John Wilkes Booth.
• 5:58
  Like maybe you love history and you're in history buff and maybe
• 6:02
  you want somebody that has equal or greater knowledge than you,
• 6:05
  but also maybe you like teaching somebody about the.
• 6:08
  Stuff. Yeah, now you can teach, but
• 6:10
  he's been dating her for two years and just realized she's
• 6:12
  done. That's kind of how I feel too,
• 6:14
  Like after two years, you should know.
• 6:16
  I feel like this is his problem. I know.
• 6:17
  And it feels like there was a real emphasis on like, well,
• 6:20
  she's real pretty. We have fun together.
• 6:22
  And it's like, OK, well, if that's enough for you.
• 6:25
  Then why are you worried? About it, you know, what do you,
• 6:27
  you can't ask for everybody to be anything at all the time.
• 6:29
  But you know, I do think there should be a general basement.
• 6:32
  You should you should at least know that Abraham was a
• 6:35
  president and not a vampire hunter.
• 6:39
  But it did bring up like, what are you dumb in?
• 6:41
  Yeah. And like, history for me is like
• 6:44
  the thing I'm dumb in. Like, I know who John Wilkes
• 6:47
  Booth is. But like Civil War, I don't know
• 6:50
  when the Civil War would that. Was, I mean, I don't know the
• 6:52
  dates, yeah. You know what?
• 6:53
  I mean like I know the general concept.
• 6:56
  Yeah, I, yeah, I know some stuff.
• 6:58
  But like, yeah, I, there's a lot of things in history that I come
• 7:01
  across that I realize I didn't know.
• 7:03
  I I learned most of my history from The History Channel.
• 7:06
  Right. And there's a lot of stuff I
• 7:08
  don't know about history. I'm definitely not somebody
• 7:10
  that's like, oh, the Civil War was from this time to this time,
• 7:13
  and these were the key players. I don't know, like, I know the
• 7:15
  general gist of things. And like same with like
• 7:18
  governmental things. Like if you were to press me
• 7:21
  right now, like I don't know if I could tell you what Congress
• 7:24
  does versus the House of Representatives.
• 7:26
  Like in terms of like bullet points of like, well, here's
• 7:29
  what they can do. Here's what the Speaker of the
• 7:31
  House can do. Like I know they can make ties
• 7:34
  and all this stuff, but like all of that feels like new
• 7:36
  information when it comes out. So I mean, I guess you could say
• 7:39
  I'm dumb about that. Yeah.
• 7:40
  Well, yeah, politics is definitely a gap for me too.
• 7:42
  Yeah. But I think they make it
• 7:45
  complicated. I think that's why because.
• 7:46
  Yeah. And it doesn't feel like they
• 7:47
  follow their own rules either. So it's.
• 7:49
  Like representatives or senators and then what's the other one?
• 7:52
  Is that it like the House the. Senate There's representatives,
• 7:56
  there's congressmen and. Women and.
• 7:58
  Somebody get Schoolhouse Rock. I'm just a bill.
• 8:01
  Oh yeah, that's. Right, that's the only way I
• 8:03
  know how anything gets done. We've had to cut back on some
• 8:05
  stuff in life. And you were you, you brought
• 8:09
  this up yesterday. You're like, man, I am sick of
• 8:11
  using these trial size shampoos. So we we want to throw that out
• 8:16
  there because I've been getting stopped in the streets thinking
• 8:20
  that I am that we're like struggling.
• 8:24
  Yeah. And so I've like a couple people
• 8:26
  that I've ran into like at the store and like just in the
• 8:28
  neighborhood. And friends of mine have just
• 8:30
  been making like, hey, man, what can I get you?
• 8:33
  Like it's very much like, oh, I'm not.
• 8:35
  We're, we're good. So yes, the, the, the context of
• 8:38
  this is both Nick and I did a morning show in Portland and we
• 8:42
  are both let go due to budget cuts because the show was let
• 8:45
  go. And so not just one, but both of
• 8:47
  us lost our jobs. Now I'm a therapist in the spare
• 8:51
  time that I've had and so I bumped up my clients.
• 8:54
  So I'm now working full time as a therapist.
• 8:57
  So I have money coming in, but Nick is still unemployed.
• 9:01
  And we did go from making a certain amount of money to
• 9:04
  making a very different amount of money.
• 9:06
  But like, not a lot of people know that I have like a full
• 9:09
  time therapy thing. So they just know of us as two
• 9:13
  people that lost their jobs. So I yeah.
• 9:15
  Which is great. Like it was super sweet.
• 9:17
  Yeah. And like I just have a thing
• 9:19
  with people. It feels like people are pitying
• 9:20
  me. Pity.
• 9:20
  Yeah. And I it's not it's not false
• 9:22
  pity. Like I feel like they.
• 9:23
  Really want to hear. Yeah.
• 9:25
  And they're so generous. And we would do the same if if
• 9:28
  we heard that situation. Yeah.
• 9:30
  But yes, like our situation is really unique.
• 9:32
  Both members of the family lost their jobs at the exact same
• 9:35
  time. Yeah, but I will assure you that
• 9:37
  I have a full time job. Like I'm I'm working full time.
• 9:40
  We went from three full time jobs though to like 2 to one or
• 9:43
  to 1 to 1 like so we've just decided to cut back on all the
• 9:47
  stuff that we need. And so you're using like trial
• 9:49
  sizes because you've been stockpiling OK for?
• 9:51
  Forever, right? So every woman, I'm going to go
• 9:54
  out on a limb here, every woman has a box or something under
• 9:57
  their sink of facial products or makeup or something that they're
• 10:02
  not using currently, but they have ready to go.
• 10:05
  Yeah, because you guys get stopped a lot, right?
• 10:07
  Don't people in the streets just hand you stuff?
• 10:08
  No. Like here.
• 10:09
  You go. Here's the trial try.
• 10:10
  Like we'll try something and we'll go.
• 10:12
  I don't know if I like it, let me go back to my normal thing.
• 10:14
  But you don't want to throw it away.
• 10:16
  You keep it because you're like, well, if I ever need that
• 10:19
  product again, I'm going to use it.
• 10:21
  And so I have one of one of this box under my sink, but it's a
• 10:24
  lot of the travel sizes or trial sizes of products that I, I use
• 10:29
  the full size of. So I've run out of the full
• 10:32
  size. And I will say that I was bougie
• 10:35
  when it came to my face stuff like I, my face stuff is, was
• 10:39
  expensive. And so I have some like grocery
• 10:43
  store facial lotion under my sink.
• 10:45
  And so I pulled it out and I go, well, great, now I can use this.
• 10:48
  I don't have to buy anything. And I started using it and it
• 10:50
  made my face itchy and I started getting hives on my face.
• 10:54
  And I was like, I my skin is like, what is this?
• 10:57
  Yeah. My skin doesn't like new stuff.
• 10:59
  Yeah, my skin is a 65 year old very wealthy woman with a
• 11:02
  poodle. Like I'm not, but my skin is.
• 11:05
  And so they're like bring back the good stuff.
• 11:07
  And so I pulled out all of the trial and travel sizes that I
• 11:11
  have of the stuff I normally use and I have like 10 trial sizes
• 11:15
  of the moisturizer. I.
• 11:17
  Like a one time use or like a little bottle?
• 11:18
  It's like a, it's like a seven day usage because they want you
• 11:22
  to get used to it and then you want to buy it or whatever.
• 11:24
  And so I have about like a good seven to 10 of those.
• 11:28
  So I'm using those now and they're really small.
• 11:31
  So you have to stick your finger in and like, you know, go like
• 11:34
  this, like, and, but I have a bunch of them.
• 11:36
  So I'm still using the stuff I like, but I just noticed it the
• 11:40
  other day. I was like, oh man, this feels
• 11:43
  like I went from just being like, well I ran out, let me go
• 11:46
  buy some to now being like, well, do I have the trial size
• 11:48
  of this champion? It's weird to make that
• 11:51
  transition, I know. But it it's such a not like,
• 11:54
  look, I could go to the store, I could buy something that doesn't
• 11:56
  itch my face, and that's what it's going to come down to.
• 11:58
  Like, yeah, the clearly the grocery store stuff that I
• 12:01
  bought was just not a good brand for me.
• 12:03
  There's plenty of good brands that you can buy at Safeway.
• 12:05
  We're just trying to cut back on stuff we don't need, like we
• 12:08
  don't need in our lives. Like, like, it's kind of the
• 12:10
  same thing. I am having the same struggle
• 12:12
  with my bowling balls. Like, yeah, if you don't know
• 12:15
  bowling, you need to constantly be updating and like, and
• 12:17
  cleaning your balls. Yeah, I know.
• 12:20
  And so every every six months I have to go wash my balls.
• 12:24
  And it costs about $40 per ball to wash my ball because you take
• 12:30
  it to a pro shop and they like do it, It takes like 3 hours.
• 12:34
  And I found myself hand washing my own balls in the sink, in the
• 12:40
  sink, in the sink. We need to start a GoFundMe for
• 12:43
  your dirty balls. My balls.
• 12:45
  My balls need to be cleaned weekly.
• 12:47
  Oh my gosh. All right.
• 12:49
  Well, on that note on. That note, thank you for
• 12:51
  listening. Don't forget to like and
• 12:51
  subscribe and we'll talk more about my balls.
• 12:54
  No, we won't. I think we're done.
• 12:56
  We've said it all, Italy.
