Just Trying to Figure Out If I'm Abnormal or Not! · Armstrong & Getty One More Thing

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Just trying to figure out if I'm abnormal or not.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: It's one more thing I'm strong andy, one more thing I.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Think we can answer that is there going to be
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: a vote?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Don't even need to know the context? No, No, Matt,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We're good.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: No question as phrased, was plenty.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, to a certain extent. I'll admit I might
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: be an outlier, but on a number of things. But
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: everybody you know, like if you really know them, the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: whole idea of like normal or average or whatever, because
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: like everybody you know, like really know, don't they have
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: like some serious quirks, every single one of them. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: can't think of anybody I like, really really know, maybe
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: outside my mom and dad. My mom and dad really
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: don't have any but I don't know.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean mostly sure, Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I think everybody was so so the range of normal
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that we generally think of in our minds, just for
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: thinking of the population a whole, is much narrower than
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: my real experience now as a person with a number
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: of quirks. Maybe a hang around other people with other
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: people who have lots of quirks also, which is almost
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: certainly true. But I just think the range of normals
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: way wider than we tend to.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, our public face, our presentation of ourselves
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: is much more tailored than the reality. When you really
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: get to know somebody, you know, as Seinfeld put it,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: you see their side, their other side or whatever. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: just sure, yeah, and it's fine.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: One of my dearest actually Greg Greg Gory. He came
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: on one of the podcasts back last summer. He is
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: so clean, like there are you go into his house,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you just don't want to touch anything. But one of
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: his biggest annoyances is when the condiments are lined up
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: in the labels don't line up with each other. So
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I used to whenever I'd go over to his house,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I'd like twist the ketchup bottle like a quarter of
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: an inch to the left.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So why do you think we act like there's a
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: normal range that's a much more narrow band than is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: our life experience. I wonder why I've never even really
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: thought about this before.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I think this may fit into the I
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: really need to come up with a name for this concept.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: The speed limit on the highway is not seventy because
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: they want everybody to do seventy. It's because they don't
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: want people to do one hundred, So it's not in
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: our our concept of normal isn't enforced. But stay within,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: you know, shouting distance of it, you know what I'm saying.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to go through people in my head though,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and like every person that, like, I really know, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: if you don't really know somebody, then then you don't know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But everybody that I really know has got like a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: couple of things that are pretty.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Wacky, and we're gauging that off of except for me,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I mean obviously, but go on clearly, but we're gauging
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that off of like our normal.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Like, there are people that I know that I think
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: are just weirder than hell, and they've got a whole
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: group of people that are weird as hell like them,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: and they think that's normal.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: True.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that gets back to my I'm pretty quirky,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: so I tend to hang around quirky people because people
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: that aren't quirky wouldn't be interested to me and vice versa.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so you got that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Right. Yeah, it's probably one of the reasons I'm actually
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: pretty tolerant of people with different political views. It's because
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I've spent my life among musicians. Half of them are
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: completely nuts or wrong about everything, but they're lovely people. Yeah, anyway,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I just don't want them in charge.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: This is a pretty bland question that I've got for
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the setup that I put out there. But what temperature
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: you I'm going to ask everybody here because I'm trying
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to figure out how close to normal I am. What
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: temperature do you keep the house at at night? Michael?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: What do you set thermostat at at night?
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Probably route seventy?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, Katie just responded with a wide eyed flinch. What
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: do you keep it at?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I keep it at sixty six, sixty seven.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I could never sleep at seventy now almost exactly the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: same on the chili side. Yeah, answer, I couldn't sleep
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: any of the season. Is that where you find most
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: comfortable or most financially comfortable? Financially comfortable, right, because there's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a difference.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would like sixty eight or sixty seven.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I put my thermostat at whatever makes me comfortable, comfortable,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: regardless of finances. Even when I was well and I
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was poor, I didn't run the air conditioner at all.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, my roommates, we'd lay on the couch in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: shorts sleep all night long with the doors and windows
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: wide open. So we didn't die because we just there
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: was no freaking wake. We could afford air conditioning. It
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: wasn't even even a question of turning on. I didn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: end up speaking of court. People hanging around, hang around
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: people like yourself, everybody I knew, girlfriends, whatever. Nobody ran
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: their air conditioner. Nobody, because like I had one girlfriend
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: who lived with their parents, So you go over there,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they had air condisriering. We'd go to the mall for
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: air conditioning. But but anyway, once I started making some money,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I decided, I'm going to keep it comfortable in my house.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't care if I have to walk to work
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: or donate plasma. This is one thing I'm going to do.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to keep it comfortable mass But seventy seems
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a little warm to me.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: All right, it is too warm?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Sorry, you wish it were cooler.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm changing it. After what you just said, I'm
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: going to change my ways.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Not get down a couple of degrees. Get to yourself.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I would have cheaper I would eat cheaper food before
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I would give up the comfortable temperature at night.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Definitely, Yeah, still groceries. It's legal in California. Michael, how
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: it's not illegal.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: How about during the day, what do you keep it at?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Same same?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, same summers. Oh in the really you keep
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: it like sixty seven when it's one hundred and three
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: out Katie, And then I would well, are we talking
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: about during sleeping?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What do you keep it at during the day? Joe
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is astonished. So what are you going with the daytime temperature?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah? You Joe, Uh well, it depends on the season
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: of the year. I mean, you just.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Don't go comfort. Only comfort. The only number I care about.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Is I'm talking about comfort. Interrupt this, Maximus. If you
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: come in from one hundred and four degree day, seventy
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: six is pretty damn call.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I couldn't live in a house. It's oh my god.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I would run screaming from a home that was so okay,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: no way, yeah, that would be honestly, you know what,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: We keep it seventy four, seventy three something like that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: But if you keep it way cooler than that, right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that'd be way too hot for You're.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: Always wearing a freaking suit, throwing some shorts. That's the
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: thing I'm wearing soccer shorts and a T shirt.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Joe and judyist. So that's what he wants to leave on.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: But it is cooler personal. So your daytime temperature hot day, Katie,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: probably sixty eight. Yeah, I'm closer to that.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not like polar bears. Well I'm much it is.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: When I get hot, I get pissed. Yeah, so around
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: angry all the time.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: So I like to keep it cool and even to
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the point where it's like, if I start to get cold,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I can I can put a hoodie on.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. I'll throw on a hoodie in my house
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: because it's too cool.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: See, I feel like a sin layer of sweat makes
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: me glow.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I think they didn't that special listening exactly.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And Michael, hot day inside, your temperature is.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Uh definitely uh nope, sixty nine.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I'd say, yeah, okay, that's pretty cool. Yeah, and this
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is also uh a thing if you live with somebody else,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: These are not minor concerns if you live with somebody else.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You know, you and Judy have been together so long.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what point you came together on your
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: temperatures or if you just agreed from the beginning. But
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you have to have to come to an agreement on
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: these sorts of things. And some people are hot blooded
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and some people are cold blooded and whatever.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Had this conversation one time, and one time only got
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: freezing in my house.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Looked at droom.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Is the ac on?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Whatever?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Sixty one degrees?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Sixty one's chilly?
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, wow, it's.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Like, are you okay? Are you trying to kill me?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So he's been keeping meat good of somewhere.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if sixty one is chilly.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that happened because it's.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Regularly, for whatever reason, the thermostat in the studio resets
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to sixty four on the weekends, and when we walk
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in here on Monday mornings, it's freaking cold. If sixty
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: four feels like that, it's sixty one.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Wow, Well in the fans on high so you have
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: to work in the wind chill too. That feels like
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: it is like fifty four.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But you don't have your fridge. You can just leave
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the fridge door open and unplugged and everything. Stay your meat,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: your condiments, everything's good because it's sixty one.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: In your house, orderline frozen.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So speaking of the meat, and condiments. Uh. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: and your your buddy with the all of these condiments
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: have to be faced. As you say, in the grocery business, uh,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: and also in the bank teller business. Judy and I
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: share this. We have got to if I have cash
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: in my wallet, the bills must be faced. They must
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: all be facing the same way. If they're like a mishmash,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: one's upside down, ones backwards and all, I can't stand it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Mine just have to be an order. They don't have
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to be faced.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: They have to be faced.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I have a yeah, I'm I'm. If I've got a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: little bit of time, they don't have to be faced,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but I will do it if I've got a couple
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of seconds. Make sure they're all turned the same direction.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But the order thing got to be the twenties on
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the inside, then tens and fives and ones as I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: got them fold in my pocket. Gotta be. I can't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: imagine walking around with them just.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Reverse pimprol small bills on the outside.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Well that's what I got, Yeah, my smallde oh I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: thoctually have the big bills, fold it around my Costco card.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: That's how I carry my cash.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: So Joe h all of his one hundred dollars bills
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: inside the ones.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Well, and my thousands are inside the hundreds.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my son has got one one hundred dollars bill
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that he got from I don't know what, Grandma and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: grandpa or something, and he likes to wrap that around
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: his money like he's a wrapper or something.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: You know. Wow, I play in a fairly big golf
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: game every weekend with a bunch of different guys, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you kick in twenty bucks in all, but somebody inevitably
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: shows up with like a hundred throws that in there,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: and come on, come on, a flex. As I've said
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: many times in a lot of day to day life,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: one hundred dollars bill, you might as well have a fish.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: You're trying to go around and trade a fish for,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: you know, that gallon of milker or you know, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: just need this and can you break that? And they
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: look at you. No, No, take your fish and go elsewhere.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: When I used to get to break that, when I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: used to travel around Mexico a lot, twenty was like that.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Twenty dollars in Mexico money might as well have been
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a brick. No, he was going to have change for that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Gosh, when I was bartending at a little dive bar
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: and I was like the midday shift, so it wasn't
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: crazy busy. There was this one guy that always came in.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: All he ever had were fifty dollars bills and he
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: would buy one drink and I'd look at him and go,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: have you not learned your lesson?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Like, we can't you keep breaking these?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You don't have your change from yesterday?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: He was laundering money? Oh okay, probably or something, Yeah,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: ozark like it's a little weird.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I had one more thought on that was it
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the money? Oh so it's a little OCD right the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: whole I can't walk around with either the money facing
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the wrong direction or not in the right order. That's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: because there's no logic behind that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: No, no, not per se. I mean I can recognize
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: a five dollar bill on the back to the numbers
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: right there. Yeah, I find that interesting.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Also speaking of quirks, is everybody's different levels of OCD.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Mine is quite mild, and I know more people. I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: know people that have it more, but it's not to.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: The like debilitating.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know what the proper medical term is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to do where you actually have to adjust your life
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: around like like my son. I mean, he's got OCD
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: do a level that he has to adjust his life
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: around it. And thank god, I don't have that. He
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: takes medicine for it. But you know, we've all got
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a little bit of it.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I have that with parking in a parking space, I
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: have to get it just right, like right in the middle.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Well, that's pride, that's not OCD. That's being a man.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: No offense, Katie.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I can't microwave anything on an odd number, just can't.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna cook it for twenty seconds or twenty four
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: seconds or eighteen seconds, but I ain't gonna do it
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: for nineteen seconds.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: My car, you can set the temperature. I always go
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: in even increments, and I decided that was stupid, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: so now I'm disciplining myself to mix in some odd
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: increments so I don't get fixated.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Well, but the benefits are really you're really reaping the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: benefits of this chain.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Well, well, there's a freedom in it, Jack. If I
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: want it to be seventy three, I set it at
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: seventy three. Damn it, God, I'm not gonna settle for
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: seventy two or oh sweltering seventy four.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: No, I'm going to dial you know what I'm gonna
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: do that today. I want to warm up that fresh
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: bread to put butter on it. I'm gonna microwave it
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for fourteen seconds. No, no, I did it again, fourteen seconds. Wow,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: he's worse than we saw him touch a kitty. Yes,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I'll write an odd number like fourteen.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Are we three?
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Now? Oh?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Wait, no, I'll try sixteen.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: No, God, well, join us next time for when the
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: staff will discuss whether we whether we like partly cloudy,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: mostly cloudy, or fully overcast conditions. Well, I guess that's it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: That is funny, Michael,
