I Don't Wanna Talk About This At All... · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about this at all, which
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I guess kind of makes the point. It's one more thing.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty, one more.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: And you're a man who's willing to go just about
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: anywhere a conversation like.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Said, not here, be afraid?
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Will You're afraid? Okay, So before we get that in
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: or get to that, I want to squeeze this in.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: At the very very end of the radio show, we
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: were talking about the Wildlife Bridge in California that was
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: once estimated at sixty four million dollars to build, which
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: is unimaginable, and it's already bloated to some one hundred
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: and fourteen million dollars, which is impossible. It's the Pacific
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Cougar Highway, and as Christopher Ruffo points out, the cougars
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: the mountain lions, if they take it, will be delivered
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: practically directly into suburban backyards. And here's the picture of
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the lady who's behind it in a hard hat carrying
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: a cougar stuffy around.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Good Lord cheese.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: And as always for the dryest, funniest commentary, I turned
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: to the Great Nelly Bowls. The activist chick is is
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Beth cougars will be pouring into backyards. Blah blah blah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I love California so much. I love Beth. Apologies to
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: all the dogs who are about to be cougar food.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: But I love the bridge. The cougars will eat one
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: female jogger, which will be blamed on suburban sprawl being
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: too close to this, to his ancestral corridor. Anyway, it'll
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: be shut down and eventually we'll just have a wildlife
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: corridor to nowhere. Or the cougars, once integrated into society,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: will become civilized and start their own strawl, which we
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: will build a human life bridge over.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Brilliant.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Oh lord, Cally Unicornia.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's the topic I don't want to talk about.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And it's possible that I have issues around this. Maybe
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I do. Maybe I had poor potty training as a kid,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: or it went wrong. Who oh boy, because I do
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: not find any of this stuff funny, never have and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: don't like to talk about it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: But so the like punishment or anything unto work.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a very private thing that you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: shouldn't you should keep to yourself, and it's and I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: don't think it's funny or shareable anyway, it'll become obvious
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. So I was on the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: phone with somebody and I don't even remember, and I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: don't know this person that well, but they I was
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: on the phone with them, and they, I guess they
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: had to pour some water out of something or something,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and uh, they said, by the way, I'm pouring out
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my coffee or I forget what. They said, I'm not
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: peeing in case you were wondering, And I said, oh,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: good god, that'd be gross. And they said gross, it's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a bodily function. I said, I'm They said, I'm not
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: doing it, but why is it gross? It's a bodily function.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I said, well, I don't you know. I don't think
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that's something that needs to be done on the phone
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: or not maybe anyway, So then it got into the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: conversation eventually of I think they asked. They said, well, like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: did you and your wife pee in front of each other?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And I said, a freaking course not, which they react
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to with, what do you mean a freaking course? Not
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: everybody does? I said, everybody does? I said, seriously, I said,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I've never known anybody who does. And then I thought,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I guess I don't really know. I've just assumed that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: my whole life.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, you haven't asked because you find the idea abhorrent.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But I said, you know, every relationship I've had in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: my life, we never have, not one relationship I've had
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: in my life did we pee in front of each other.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And it's not like I laid down the rules on
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the second date and said here's one thing, there'll be
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: no ping, and it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Just never happened. It's not like the dog on the
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: bed conversation or anything like that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I the longer this person was amazed, said, yeah,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: me and all my friends. She said, I think this
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: is the sign of a happy marriage, that you're comfortable
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: enough you can pee in front of each other. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I said, maybe it is. I said, one of us
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is an outlier. I said, maybe I've been an outlier
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: my whole life and I just didn't know it, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it's just a coincidence. I've only been in relationships like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I've been in like fifteen twenty relationships in my life.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: It's never happened.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: But maybe if you peede in front of each other,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: the number wouldn't be so big.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, so I did a little research, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the best it could come up with is so I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: asked Claude, for instance, do most married people pee in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: front of each other?
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: And Claude was like, don't you have anything better to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: ask me? I have near infinite knowledge. Don't you want
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: to know about the planets or the likelihood of parallel universes?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Claude said, yes, this is actually pretty common among long
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: term couples. Research and survey suggests that a majority of
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: married or cohabitating couples do become comfortable with us over time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: For instance, eventually someone needs to pee while the other
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: is brushing their teeth, and it just becomes no big deal.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I don't want somebody peeing next to me, or I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and brush my teeth, or vice versa. I just don't.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if there's something wrong with me
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: or not. But the numbers are sixty forty, so it's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: not like it's ninety five five. I'm in the forty percent,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, close enough to half and half
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that I don't feel bad about it. I just think
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: it's interesting that I've only had that experience in my life.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've actually had something like that conversation I'm in
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the forty percent, by the way, I may preserve some mystery.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Guy, Oh, I brought that up. You said that I brought.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Up that mystery exactly.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: But well, that's the very term that was used on
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: our show. Years ago. We did a marriage counselor panel,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: which was fascinating. I had a bunch of women in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: who were all marriage therapists whatever you call them, and uh, and.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That came up in the days especially, and one of
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: them said.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Uh, close the door, don't be with the door, preserve
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: some mystery. And I thought, yeah, that makes sense to me.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm in the forty percent that thinks that's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: really weird, not the sixty percent that does it all
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: So Katie, what percent?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I guess forty? I don't.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, if if Drew, I mean it was in
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: the bathroom brushing his teeth, I wouldn't go, you know what,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: now's a good time to go in there and pee
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: while he's in I just that seems weird to me.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I'm like repulsed by it because I know that we've
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: had conversation where he's peed with the door up and
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I've been like, hey, where's this, you know, But it's
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: not like I'm.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Going in there to talk to him while that's happening.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And honestly, I think even without discussing it, you
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: get a sense of whether that person wants privacy. Yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and you honor that well.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I like, like I said at the beginning, I don't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like talking about this stuff. I and I don't know why,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: but I just I just don't think it's a good conversation.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I realize we all do it, but if I if
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it, I don't understand why.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: If the logic is is it's about being comfortable with
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: each other, it's sign of a healthy relationship, then why
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: can't then what stops it from being the next stop
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: from number one to number two? Why wouldn't that be
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the same argument?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Then, Michael, what percentage? First of all, they.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: So, how are we all in the forty percent? I mean,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I realized mathematically that's not impossible.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: But maybe there's a personality type that finds this way
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: into this line of work. I don't know, Hans, it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: a wildcast.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They have a trough, the whole family piece together in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: a trough the same time.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Stand around talking about the news.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: To each their own. Certainly, I gosh, how old was
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I gladys early twenties, first job in radio Judy and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I got to know another young couple in town. I
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: wish we'd stayed in touch. Wonderful folks. But at one
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: point we were having a couple of glasses of wine
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: or something, and she was quite pregnant. She was not
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: drinking any one, and they were joking about the fact
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: that he was pooping, and she stood in the doorway
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: of the bathroom, more or less naked and huge with
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: child instead essentially seeing anything you like, baby, and it was.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: It was funny and endearing, but my immediate reaction was, oh, wow,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: you do like why you're pooping? Comedy for each other.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You know? And again, maybe I got something wrong with me,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: But I don't want that. I don't want that now.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want that in my life.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's just me. I don't think you do,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: because there are so many other ways to be comfortable
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: in your relationship that don't involve going to the bathroom.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, again, I don't judge whatever, But.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Well, the person I was on the phone with, and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know them that. Well, that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was a ghast that anybody that everybody doesn't do.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: That, hmmm, and that clearly it was a sign of
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: a bad relationship. Yeah, you have to with each other.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Have that person call me. Yeah, wow, okay, yeah, I don't.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It's a sixty forty issue. I'm in the forty.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, me too.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's interesting. I'm more than willing to
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: talk about, you know, health issues of that sort or
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: what have you. Well, of course, but it's a completely
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: different thing, right, I'm not shy about Pepe and poopoo
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. I just didn't know. It is
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: a different thing.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, preserve some mystery. Well yeah, and there's gonna be
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: like Johnny Depp or she's going right there in the bed.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Right, Oh my god. Well that was more a gesture
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: than that was just relieving that was all and that
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: was not the dog that It's definitely not that. There's
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: no way that little dog did that. Are you kidding me?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, this this kind of relates to this. What
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: about somebody speaking to you at a journal when you're
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: in the restroom. I don't want that. It's kind of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah, I find that mildly uncomfortable compared
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to the person I'm in a relationship with walking in
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: while I'm brushing my teeth, dropping their pants and sitting
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: on the toilet. I just think that's nuts, but just
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: But you're good with with troughs in.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Bars, I am yes.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, I despise it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I had that happen to me at the doctor's office
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: the other day. And we're separated by doctor's office.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: No, I'm getting there, No, we don't. We're separated by stalls.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: But some woman walked into the bathroom at the same
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: time as me and then went into her stall, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: as we were doing our thing, she goes, so, when
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: are you do.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Talking through the door?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I don't like that, don't what? This is not the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: time to chit chat for the men's stalls thing urinals.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I think some people feel it's weird to be that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: close to each other and not and to ignore each
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: other that. I think that's the feelings some people have.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the co workers we had for a long
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: time at the radio ranch who used to do that
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: most consistently were like gregarious, likable guys. It was annoying, But.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Every single time Water's cold, deep too every time.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Hilarious.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Gladys said she's in the sixty percent. Okay, she and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: her husband do it in front of each other.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: So wow, Gladice is edgy.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: We grew up in a Great Depression, different era.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: What's Gladys's husband's name.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking Bert, Bert Burton, Gladys Burt and Gladys. What
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: a couple of bits, Milton, Milton, Sully, something like that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: All good names. Well, I guess that's it.
