Hell Loops, Kimmel Comebacks & Michele Turns Pretty Obsessed · Rik and that Michele Chick

0:01
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
So last episode we talked about or we teased what we thought our
0:47
hell loop would be. So have you thought about what
0:50
you think your hell loop would be?
0:53
Is this the song where it never stops?
0:56
It could be. OK, OK, I'll, I'll tell you what
0:59
I think mine would be. So it's not to me.
1:02
When I think about what your hell loop would be, it wouldn't
1:05
be because sometimes people would think it would be gory or
1:08
it would be the the demons torturing you, something along
1:12
those lines. But I think that mine would be
1:18
that I am stuck with the douchiest Assius, a guy who all
1:23
he does is talk about himself and try to one up you, you know,
1:28
like one of those 1 upper tech people.
1:31
All while he is staring at my boobs.
1:35
So I have dealt with this type of man my entire career, radio,
1:40
normal life, and now most recently dinners for my
1:45
husband's career like fancy dinners that we're stuck at.
1:48
And we're stuck at these dinners for like 3 to 4 hours with these
1:52
types of people. Luckily, now I kind of know some
1:54
of the people that we're going to be at dinner with.
1:57
And so I try to sit by the people that I know I like to
2:00
talk to, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
2:04
So that's what I think my hell loop would be.
2:08
So what do you think yours would be?
2:09
Well, I was thinking about it, so here's.
2:11
OK, this is probably the strangest thing ever.
2:14
So have you ever OK, fallen asleep in a car?
2:19
Now you're not driving, but you fall asleep, right?
2:21
So you're in the passenger seats and then you wake up out of
2:25
nowhere thinking that you're driving the car like that.
2:28
You've fallen asleep and are still driving the car even
2:31
though you're not driving the car.
2:32
Right, right. That that.
2:34
Have you ever had that experience where you like Jay's
2:36
driving, you go to sleep and then you just wake up like, oh
2:41
shit, I'm driving and you're not driving?
2:43
No, I wake up thinking we're about to crash.
2:46
OK. All right.
2:47
Not that I'm driving, but. That Oh my.
2:50
God, we're crashing. Or this is something along those
2:53
lines? Right.
2:54
For me, that for me, that would be the the weird.
2:56
That would be the weird. It's a weird thing.
2:58
It's a weird sensation. It's like, it's almost like that
3:02
sensation where you forget what time it is.
3:06
Like you think it's night or morning and you think you, it's
3:09
a, it's a like it's a Sunday morning and you get up at 7.
3:11
Oh, I gotta get to work. And then you realize, wait a
3:14
minute, I don't work today. So those are those are those
3:18
little for me, those little mind trick things that that happened
3:22
for me would be probably hell loops for me.
3:25
And the, and what's the biggest one is the one.
3:28
Is it the fear? Well #1 the fear of losing my
3:30
teeth. Have you ever had your?
3:33
Hair. It's not your hair.
3:35
No, I don't. If it goes, it goes.
3:37
But have you ever had that? Have you ever had any of these
3:40
dreams? Not not so much my teeth because
3:45
they have implants and veneers now.
3:48
Not at those prices. Not at, not at those prices.
3:51
It was funny. I went.
3:52
I would pay whatever if it meant that I still looked good.
3:55
OK, like. So I have a great I have a great
3:58
dentist here in tri-cities, Doctor Spencer.
4:01
He's he's awesome. Well, he, he got a new associate
4:04
and so I was getting my teeth cleaned one one day and he's
4:08
like, you know, with your personality, man, we could
4:11
really do something with your smile.
4:13
And so, so and we, no, I mean, I mean, I one thing that growing
4:18
up poor that I didn't have, did not have access to is good
4:22
dental care. So, so I was probably one of
4:25
those kids. I probably even today probably
4:27
need, need braces. I mean, or I would look
4:29
different if I, if I had straighter teeth And I, I can, I
4:31
can acknowledge that. Luckily for Logan, Logan has
4:35
perfect, absolutely perfect teeth.
4:38
Like he never needed braces. He just, he just has perfect
4:41
teeth. And so I'm glad I was able to
4:43
give him. I, I think it came from his mom,
4:45
actually, I'd love to say I was able to give him something, but
4:47
it came from Pokey, I'm sure. So he we started talking about
4:51
it and we did what they call a test drive where they put fake
4:54
stuff on your teeth. To to make Yeah.
4:58
So they can, yeah. So they can fill in the the you
5:00
know, they can fill in the gaps or whatever.
5:02
To kind of show you what it would look like.
5:04
Yeah. And they give you a little test
5:05
drive and it lasts a day or whatever.
5:07
And it then because it goes away because the stuff it's like
5:10
putty or something. And and I was like, oh, this is
5:13
a this is a cool idea. And then he goes, yeah, he goes,
5:15
I could get it probably done for $10,000.
5:19
Now and you're like, no. Now I'm a poor DJ, I'm a poor DJ
5:24
and so I don't have access to $10,000 even though it, I mean,
5:27
I, it would have been, it would have been a cool, a cool thing
5:30
for veneers. So, but yeah, think about that.
5:34
That's like, whoa, no, no. So, so yes, the dream of teeth
5:38
falling out. It's a, it's a scary one.
5:40
It's a scary one for me. So I think that would be a hell
5:43
loop for me. I don't know why, because I,
5:46
it's, it's funny poking. I mean, Megan and I talk about
5:48
this a lot. It's like religiously, I go to
5:52
the eye doctor and I go to the dentist.
5:54
So every six months, no matter what.
5:56
And she's like, but she, she goes, but you haven't been to a
5:58
doctor in 15 years, but she goes, but you religiously get
6:04
your eyes checked and you religiously go and get your
6:06
teeth cleaned and make sure there's no cavities or any of
6:09
those, those different things. So, and I said, well, believe it
6:12
or not, our health starts with our teeth.
6:15
A lot of people. A lot of people.
6:18
Having bad teeth can lead to issues with your heart and other
6:22
things, but you you also need to go to the the regular doctor for
6:28
stuff, especially at your age now.
6:31
OK so so let me clarify for you. As long as you've known me, just
6:38
be honest. How many times you recalled me
6:40
being like physically in pain or me complaining about ever been
6:46
in pain or having any issues health wise?
6:49
I don't think ever, I don't think you've ever complained
6:52
about being in pain, right. So off the top of my head.
6:55
I'm very fortunate, knock on wood right now that if I have a
6:59
headache, that's a weird day. Like I just don't have headaches
7:02
or and my body just doesn't ache.
7:05
So it's kind of an odd, I mean, now if I go lift a bunch of hay
7:09
and do a bunch of work, I mean my body, my body will be sore,
7:12
but but I will not be. I will not be in pain to where
7:16
like a knee job or elbow job or shoulders or any of that.
7:20
I've had zero thank again knocking on wood and maybe it's
7:23
because of my lack of my lack of physical activity.
7:26
Right that. Could.
7:29
Be that could be I mean, but you are a guy so you do you.
7:33
You do need to have like some blood work done.
7:36
We had it. It was funny.
7:37
We had it about 15 years ago, 15 years ago because that at the
7:41
time I was drinking a lot of Mountain Dew.
7:44
Megan goes, you need to go, you need to go to the doctor.
7:46
She goes, I think you're pre diabetic.
7:47
I went what, what are you talking about?
7:50
So we did. I did go to the doctor and he
7:53
ran 15 years ago. What's that 15?
7:56
Years ago, 15 years. Ago, yeah, 15 years ago and so
7:59
he said outside of a little high blood pressure at the time
8:01
because of radio was so stressful.
8:04
He goes you're perfectly 100% like healthy.
8:07
There's like a you couldn't find anything wrong with me.
8:09
So, and that's when I switched, I switched now job.
8:13
I mean, I still am with town, town, you know, I'm still in
8:15
radio, but I switched by what I was doing.
8:18
And so now even I don't know if I'm, I mean, I can be stressed,
8:21
but I don't think it's nowhere near what it was years ago.
8:24
Right. So I do want to get that cola
8:26
guard not to go that, you know, I, my buddy, so my buddy Randy
8:30
in Boise was telling me about cola guard and he was like, he's
8:32
like, he goes. Well, you know, Virgil, it's a
8:34
lot harder to hit the, the, the target than what you think.
8:39
Because I'm, because I'm like, oh, just give me the color
8:41
guard. You know, let me get, let me
8:42
just do the color guard. Let me, you know, poop in a cup.
8:45
I'll be good. And my buddy Randy told me that
8:47
it's a lot harder. You know what you think I did?
8:51
Not I talked to my doctor about the Cologuard, you know, because
8:54
where we are in Yakima, we lost our clinic that did all the
8:58
colonoscopies during COVID. And so there's only one or two
9:02
doctors here that are doing it. And so it's really hard to get
9:06
in to see them. And I talked to my doctor, I
9:08
said, OK, like what do you think?
9:10
Should I just do this Cologuard thing?
9:13
And she said, well, you know, it's not 100% accurate.
9:17
She said you can do it. But she said she would advise me
9:20
to get a colonoscopy, which I got one this year.
9:24
Wow, I beat you. You did.
9:28
And it's not great like the I think the prep work which
9:31
everybody warns you about that and.
9:33
Yeah, that's gross. That is the worst part of it.
9:36
But like they give you the nine night juice, they give you a
9:40
sedative so you don't remember anything.
9:42
And I love the night. Like just give me give me the
9:44
nine night juice and I'll be fine.
9:46
I don't care. Like so yeah.
9:48
And I mean, they found a few polyps, but and I have to go
9:51
back in like 5 to 7 years and that's.
9:54
Not good. That's good.
9:56
I I just recall looking over at my dad and going nothing went up
9:59
his ass before. I mean, also, like people died
10:03
of a lot of cancers. Well, my dad died of cancer, but
10:07
it was because he smoked 33 to 4 packs a day and and drank like a
10:11
fish. I can't, and same with my mom.
10:14
So a lot of people are like a lot of people are like, oh,
10:16
well, you're, you know, you have a history.
10:17
No, they yes, nonstop. And then I said my great
10:21
grandfather Virgil, who I'm named after, passed away at 95.
10:26
Tell him all faculties, all everything, None of that.
10:30
So he did none of that. So you.
10:33
Still need to go to the doctor. Of course.
10:35
Oh, I'm advocating. I'm telling people go, go do it.
10:38
I'm just trying to, you know, I'm, I'm.
10:39
It's not for you. I'm just going to get there
10:42
somehow. So if you're talking.
10:44
Five more years. Maybe hell loop is my good.
10:46
No, I don't, you know. Having to go to the doctor.
10:50
I think the teeth. I think the teeth fallen out or
10:52
that sudden being shook awake thinking that you're driving a
10:55
car or you're going off a Cliff or something like that.
10:58
Yeah, that is the weirdest, creepiest feeling.
11:00
So. I think my husband's we were
11:03
because I was asking him what do you think my hall loop would be?
11:05
And he just kind of looked to me like it was crazy, but which is
11:08
normal. But I think his would be that he
11:12
is stuck in a room and no matter what he does, he can't get the
11:17
pictures on the wall straight. So OK, so so we changed dentist
11:22
and this is his first appointment at our brand new
11:25
dentist, mind you. And they have all this artwork
11:28
in their reception area that's by a local artist and it's for
11:31
sale. And so my husband is sitting
11:33
there and he cannot handle that some of these pictures are
11:36
crooked. And he got up and started fixing
11:39
the pictures at his very first appointment at our brand new
11:43
dentist and like, Oh my God, they're, they're going to tell
11:46
us not to come, please don't come back.
11:48
Then we had to plant new trees outside of our front lawn
11:52
because our original ones that we planted like 27 years ago
11:56
needed to be ripped out. And so we bought new ones and he
12:00
proceeded to measure across the street where our neighbors had
12:05
Arbor vitas planted all in a row.
12:07
So he took the little laser measure pointer thing and
12:10
pointed it and, and the street isn't close, mind you, and
12:13
neither are the Arbor vitas so that our trees would line up
12:17
with the Arbor vitas. Then he then he measured from
12:21
the road from like the middle line in to our yard.
12:25
So that's which I, which I don't mind, has perfection at all
12:29
because. I love.
12:30
Well, it gave you perfection, which gave you genius children.
12:33
So obviously, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Michelle.
12:36
I'm gonna say the smarts came from Jay.
12:39
I have already. I've said that multiple times
12:43
like it is not me I mean. The analytical mind, yeah, yeah,
12:47
because we're from well, well, and most and most radio people
12:50
are from the creative side anyway.
12:51
Yes, yeah, yeah. I mean, my blonde hair shows a
12:56
lot of times, so yeah, yeah. I am not though.
12:59
I'm not the smart. That's.
13:00
Funny which we've talked about how he can't sit and watch a
13:03
show without trying to figure it out.
13:04
And I just want to Oh yeah, that's the best.
13:06
Watch Mindless TV. I love that, you know, I always
13:09
love those because I'm like, that person did it.
13:11
Megan's like, you're ruining it. And I'm like, no, that person
13:13
like, like that's foreshadowing. That's and that's even being
13:16
just a writer, you know, like, oh, there's the there's the
13:19
hint. There's the hint that this
13:20
person's gonna be in on a on a rare occasion, I'll go, oh, I
13:23
didn't see that one coming. But most of the time it's like,
13:25
Oh, this is the they've they've dropped the tail.
13:28
So but that's good to know about jail Jay being in that his hell
13:31
loop. So that rock'n'roll sign behind
13:33
me that I'm pointing at, that's kind of crooked that.
13:35
Would drive him crazy. Well.
13:36
It's Rock'n'roll. Well, he wouldn't care.
13:39
Yeah, that's what I mean. That's why.
13:40
That's why it's that's why it's Kitty cornered like that.
13:43
It's rock and. Roll.
13:43
I mean, it looks good, Yeah. Plus you have like the little
13:45
bump out on your ceiling, so I mean, it makes sense.
13:49
Makes kind of makes kind of cool.
13:51
So yeah. All right.
13:52
Well, hella loops. That's pretty fascinating, and
13:55
we learned a lot more about colonoscopies than we ever
13:57
thought. We did.
13:58
Yeah. You're you're welcome.
14:00
This is not medical advice or. Medical advice, No, listen to
14:05
anything. No, not at all.
14:07
Not at all. And I know I'm going to get a
14:09
lot of crap because I am. I'm probably long overdue for
14:12
for that. And I just have to, I just have
14:14
to go ahead head first into it. At least just go get some blood
14:18
work, shoot. That well, that too.
14:20
That too. That that too.
14:23
I well, I kicked the soda habit, so maybe I should go get some
14:25
blood work just to Yeah, yeah. See how good it is.
14:28
See. See what happens, Right.
14:29
Yep. So Yep, well, Jimmy Kimmel is
14:33
back on TV. I saw that.
14:35
So I had heard that Disney was raising their Disney Plus prices
14:40
and that was kind of why they rushed for this to happen
14:46
because they really needed the bleeding to stop from everybody
14:48
canceling their Disney Plus subscriptions.
14:51
And they knew because you know when you get a price increase, a
14:54
lot of people get upset and cancel.
14:56
So they knew it was going to happen more so.
14:59
And so that's what I had heard. And sure enough, like they
15:02
raised their prices by $2.00. So the rumor that I heard was
15:06
correct. So you and I have both got into
15:10
trouble for things that we've said and we've talked about this
15:12
in, of course, given, you know, the jobs that we're in, whether
15:18
that's like reading just a current story about a business,
15:21
we've got into trouble for that. We've been part of what happens
15:26
when deregulation hits a business because it hit radio
15:30
stations and a lot of people lost jobs.
15:32
So we've been a part of that, which has happened to TV.
15:36
And so, I mean, my thought on the whole thing is whether you
15:40
disagree with Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, just don't watch
15:45
or listen them. I mean, like trying to silence
15:49
either 1 is what countries like North Korea or Russia do.
15:53
Like just don't watch or listen them.
15:55
I mean, that's what I thought. And I and I saw that Sinclair,
16:00
which owns 32 ABC affiliates, they're still not going to run
16:04
Jimmy Kimmel. And then there's another group,
16:08
I think down to the South also that's not going to run it.
16:11
What I think is also sometimes misleading is I love when they
16:14
say mega, Mega TV group won't run Jimmy Kimmel.
16:20
Jimmy Kimmel runs on 240 TV stations in America. 200 and
16:24
4032 are Sinclair. So so when they say Mega TV
16:30
group refuses to run it, I think those I think some of those
16:33
headlines are misleading. And I'm saying, and I'm the same
16:36
boat as you, it's like on both sides because a lot of people
16:40
said, well, what about Roseanne and what about all these
16:43
different things? So lutely.
16:45
And, and even in radio, we are, we are under the same gun or the
16:49
same thing is if I go on the air and say something and, and it
16:53
does not correlate with the, the business, they can absolutely,
16:57
absolutely let me go for those particular situations.
17:00
So that is, I think that's a fair statement.
17:03
So this is still American. I'm like you too.
17:06
I, I, I think it's amazing how the lines get blurred one way or
17:10
the other. Like, like let's say Roseanne,
17:13
Roseanne got, got fired and they didn't, they decided not to fire
17:17
Jimmy Kimmel. So, and that's the choice of the
17:21
broadcaster. And they can, and they make that
17:24
choice. But it's funny, again, it always
17:26
comes down to revenue and money. Of course, that's all it is
17:30
that's all because he Jimmy got shelved in the 1st place because
17:34
it wasn't it that merger with next Gen.
17:36
Yep and another company that was going to hurt yes, yes, and and
17:41
and ABC was is a part of that somehow.
17:43
I don't I don't know they were the ones that were threatening
17:47
that they wanted this done. It wasn't ABC themselves and so,
17:52
but a lot of people don't really know the true story that that's
17:54
really what is behind it. And yeah, it's all about money.
17:58
It's. Not about OK.
17:59
What he said at all? Like it's to ABC anyway, OK.
18:04
I don't know if I should talk about this, but in our own
18:09
company, one of our morning show people in Montana said something
18:15
that should never have been said on the radio.
18:18
And because that station brings in a lot of money, the guy ended
18:21
up getting suspended for a week and then he was back.
18:24
Because at the end of the day, it is about money, revenue.
18:28
If, I mean, if, if, if you can tie revenue to your show, which
18:31
Jimmy Kimmel can. And they, and, and that's, and
18:36
that's, that's exactly why they made the decision.
18:38
They didn't make the decision because that ABC believes in
18:42
Jimmy Kimmel or Disney believes in Jimmy Kimmel.
18:45
Or didn't. Or were upset by what he said.
18:47
I mean, it didn't come about until all this hubbub started
18:51
with these two mergers that were going to happen and they were
18:54
threatening to pull all that bullshit.
18:55
And I, and you know what, I Nexstar and Sinclair both have
18:59
said that they're not going to, not going to run Jimmy Kimmel.
19:03
And I, I agree with them. They're, they're allowed to do
19:05
that. And it's the same thing as Hobby
19:06
Lobby not being open on Sunday or Chick-fil-A not being open on
19:08
Sunday. I'm, it's like, that is your
19:12
right, you're a business. You're, you're allowed to,
19:15
you're allowed to make those decisions.
19:17
Same as it was really big news here in the tri-cities years ago
19:21
with Arlene's flower shop. Remember, that was all about the
19:23
flowers and the gay marriage or the gay couple that went to the
19:26
Supreme Court or whatever. And again, Arlene, I, whether I
19:32
like it or not, I defend that shop's right to make that
19:36
decision. And guess what?
19:37
Where's Arlene now? Out of business so that because
19:41
the consumer, because the consumer can turn around and go,
19:45
I don't like. You.
19:47
Know AB or C yes so so that and even even from let's say even
19:53
from a Walmart standpoint even if you disagree with Walmart,
19:56
it's like the reason why Walmart is successful is.
20:01
However, many percentage of people, 8090% of people, don't
20:04
care about the politics of Walmart, don't care that Walmart
20:08
underpays their people, doesn't care that the people get get
20:12
food stamps or whatever. Because peanut butter costs
20:15
$1.98 at Walmart's and cost $4.00 at Jim's grocery store.
20:21
That's the reality of the world. Oh yeah, it's about our
20:25
pocketbooks now you. As a consumer can go, you know
20:28
what, I am gonna go to pay $4.00 at Jim's grocery store because I
20:32
want to support local and I want to support Jim and that is also
20:35
you're right. The problem is there's not
20:37
enough of you to take down Walmart or Chick-fil-A.
20:42
Or it was. But there were enough people
20:45
cancelling their Disney subscriptions there.
20:47
Was there was, they said like. What so mad?
20:50
Yeah, 340 million or some in dollars that that and again goes
20:55
back to dollar and cents. If Jimmy Kimmel wasn't making
20:59
money, he'd be gone. Jimmy Kimmel makes money.
21:05
That's the same in radio. That's the same thing for us.
21:07
When those ratings would come out and if the station was one,
21:11
if the station was 1-2 or three, it didn't matter how shitty the
21:16
person was that was doing the morning show.
21:18
If they were pulling in the ratings, guess what?
21:21
You kept them. Yep.
21:23
Yep, and that's, that's the reality of of, you know, that's
21:28
the reality of it all. So yeah, the Jimmy Kimmel thing
21:31
and Sinclair and and next door, they have every right to keep
21:33
them off the air too. So, and, and because ABC decided
21:38
to keep Roseanne off or Bill Cosby or whatever, well, that's
21:41
still as a business. It's still their choice.
21:43
Right. And I defend and I defend that
21:45
that that right. I mean, again, we do get free
21:48
speech. We do.
21:49
We have free speech, yes, you and I can say whatever we want,
21:52
but we're not free of consequences of that speech.
21:54
Right. Right on both sides.
21:57
On both sides. And I know that a lot of people
21:59
complain about, you know, the late night TV show host making
22:03
fun of them, but it's like they've made fun of every
22:07
president ever. Like they're not just singling
22:10
out Trump, like they have made fun of every single.
22:13
I mean, you're one of the most important people in the world.
22:16
So of course they are going to make fun of you whether you like
22:19
it or not. That's just that is again, part
22:21
of free speech. Like they have that right to to
22:24
make fun of you regardless. I will who you are, I'll clear
22:29
this, clarify this for a lot of people, when you program radio
22:32
stations, you know, program radio stations, we call it a
22:35
slice of life. Who's the audience?
22:39
Who's the audience and what are the best songs for the audience?
22:41
So it's funny when you do a Top 40 radio station and a 65 year
22:45
old man calls in and complaints. Hey, I just heard you play Missy
22:48
Elliott, bitch and I'm offended by it.
22:51
And I'm always like, I'm sorry, Sir, this station is targeting
22:56
women 18 to 24. So bitch by Missy Elliott is
23:00
100% appropriate. And even though you at 65 is a
23:04
white male, don't like it, I don't.
23:06
I don't program to you. So on the flip side, when you
23:10
look at Laura Ingraham or Sean Hannity or even Rush Limbaugh,
23:15
all that again, those things are built for a slice of length.
23:19
They're built for who they're talking to.
23:21
So go back to Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert, they're built.
23:25
Jon Stewart, The Daily Show, I let you know, those are all
23:27
built for that whatever particular audience.
23:30
Now, if there's enough audience, they need enough audience.
23:33
And then what's the return on investment on those if it?
23:35
Because if if there was not enough, they wouldn't be on the
23:39
air. Because at the end of the day,
23:41
you and I both have worked with broadcasting executives and
23:45
guess what all they care about. Money.
23:48
Money. That's not.
23:49
Care. They don't care how long you
23:51
have worked for so and so company like.
23:53
They won't drop you and cut you at the drop of a hat.
23:57
They don't care what your loyalty is if it comes down.
24:01
To X amount of money and that's your value and that even goes
24:04
back to Jimmy Kimmel that yes the reason why he's coming back
24:07
is because this is the value that he has for Disney and it's
24:11
and so and everybody and if you can find that value for
24:16
yourself, then you will also have a platform yeah cuz I cuz
24:21
there's a lot of cuz I still think there's a lot of hate
24:23
speech out there. Yeah, I.
24:26
Mean a ton of it, a ton of it even on TikTok, even on Insta,
24:29
there's a ton of it on both sides so.
24:31
I was gonna say it's everywhere and.
24:33
It's everywhere. It's everywhere.
24:36
So you're not, you're not gonna win that battle.
24:39
I love when people, I mean, it's so hard too.
24:42
I see so much of it in the Facebook feed and I just have to
24:46
keep on walking. I'm like, Nope, not worth the
24:49
battle. But to get into it with people.
24:52
We saw today, the recent or yesterday, we saw the
24:55
announcement about autism and gosh and Tylenol.
25:00
Well, yeah, I don't know if you want to break that down, but
25:02
it's like, it's like my friend Jamie, who is a doctor and she's
25:09
a she's a military doctor, says that's not true.
25:12
Well, guess who I'm going to trust?
25:13
Yes, I'm. Going to trust Jamie, my friend
25:15
who's a doctor. Right.
25:17
Who has a medical license and a degree then then RFK junior.
25:20
Sorry, yes, there's no and and and trying to change the new
25:25
cycle. I just never have understood.
25:29
It's like don't. It's like, look over here, don't
25:31
look over here while we do whatever we're gonna do.
25:34
Right. So, and you know what, I don't
25:36
care if it was a Democrat or Republican, somebody get up on
25:39
the stage and saying something stupid, you're saying something.
25:42
Especially if they have no medical background or are not a,
25:46
a doctor or anybody. It could be research medicine.
25:49
I don't, I don't care what it is like.
25:51
Our son Matthew has a degree in chemistry.
25:53
He's a chemist. And so he was at, he was at, he
25:57
was at Stanford when COVID hit and when all the vaccine trials
26:02
have been accelerated. And they and his, a couple of
26:05
his labs were working on the data and all that.
26:08
And so he was in the mix of it. And so I asked him, because you
26:11
kept hearing this stuff about mRNA, which which has been
26:15
around for 20-30 years by the way, it's not just something
26:18
that popped up overnight. And I said, hey, I asked him,
26:22
I'm like, hey, what is this mRNA stuff?
26:24
And he explained it to me. And he's like, either get the
26:27
Moderna or the Pfizer vaccine. Like these are going to be the
26:31
two better ones because he was seeing the actual data and he
26:35
works with protein based stuff currently.
26:37
And so he's the one I asked because he has the college
26:40
degree. I mean, he had to take a lot of
26:42
the classes that pre Med students have to take.
26:44
So he has the knowledge and so I'm going to talk to that person
26:48
who I trust, who is going to give me here's the here's the
26:52
risk, here's the benefits, you decide.
26:55
So yeah, it's no differently. I'm not just going to randomly
26:59
Google stuff and just take that as this is good advice from
27:05
somebody who has no doctorate or anything.
27:08
Just it's crazy to me. But they're but they're jumping
27:11
on. But they are.
27:12
It's amazing when you look in the comments how people are just
27:15
jumping on the bandwagon. Right.
27:17
And I've seen, Yeah. And I'll see the opposite too.
27:20
I've seen what are you, what's create these, you know, all
27:22
these, all these different things.
27:24
Which, you know, I, I know people that have autistic
27:26
children and they were really upset by this, like saying that
27:29
their autism is because of Tylenol.
27:33
It really upset them as parents that this is what they're saying
27:36
about their kids. So, well, I have multiple, well,
27:38
you and I know multiple people that have autistic children.
27:41
So and so at my at my work, AJ and, and again, remember on the
27:47
spectrum is such a wide, I mean, it's so the and, and, and all
27:53
these different things that we've had autistic people same,
27:57
same as we've had gay people since the start of time.
28:00
So we just didn't classify it or we didn't clarify what it was.
28:04
So. I think autism back before it
28:08
was probably classified would have just been your ODD or your.
28:12
On. Depending on what the spectrum,
28:14
Right, right, right. Yeah, right.
28:16
There's or if you were really bad, I mean, back in the day you
28:18
would have been institutionalized.
28:20
I mean, correct. That was the reality back.
28:23
Then that was the reality, and then and then some and then
28:25
some. They suspected we're autistic
28:28
are people who are great poets, great writers.
28:31
Michelangelo because he was such a Renaissance man.
28:34
Michelangelo was such a Renaissance man.
28:35
There was nothing that Michelangelo couldn't do.
28:38
And and it's funny is I've got a Co worker and I talk about him
28:43
all the time because he's literally an expert on
28:47
everything, everything. Now his son is autistic.
28:52
Now he I always joke after I get out of a conversation with him
28:56
and he walks away. I tell Patty, I said I always
28:58
go, he's on the spectrum because there's OK.
29:02
I would like to think of myself as an intelligent person.
29:04
I think you would like to think of yourself as an intelligent
29:06
person. I am capable, as you know.
29:09
I have a Really I think I have a pretty good memory.
29:11
Yes, yeah, you do. I have a good memory definitely
29:14
and and sometimes they they say memory is actually one of the
29:17
links to intelligence I guess, if that makes sense right not.
29:21
Mine's bad so. Right, they're not the whole,
29:24
not the whole being of it, right.
29:25
It's not the whole thing of it. It's just a it's just a slice of
29:28
it, slice of it. Well, my Co worker can come in
29:32
and it doesn't matter what subject we're talking about.
29:34
He'll just go like a like a encyclopedia on, on the depth of
29:39
anything. So, and I'm like, and I joke I'm
29:42
like he's on, he's on the spectrum because no, because,
29:45
and it's not a negative. It's no, I do not have the time
29:48
in my day to do as much research as this guy, whatever he's
29:52
doing. Right.
29:53
Like that's probably what he's doing.
29:55
He's probably not watching TV. He's just, he's just learning.
29:59
He's just sucking in like. Whatever subject, whatever,
30:03
whatever subject it is now it's interesting.
30:05
So I and I know he's never been formally tested, but I but I do
30:09
know his son is autistic. He has a daughter that's not.
30:13
And then we have our friend up in Yakima who has three kids,
30:16
One is 1 is autistic and then he's got 2 girls.
30:20
And I would even say that that former Co worker is on the
30:23
spectrum from a social never been tested, never been tested.
30:28
But I, but I mean there's those, there's those heavy levels and
30:30
those light levels. So I'm like, I'm like, because
30:36
some of the social ineptness or some of the lack of emotion or
30:39
empathy, different things that that kind of that make me go,
30:43
OK, he's got and then he's and then he does have a child that's
30:46
that is autistic. So.
30:48
Right. Yeah, so to me, it's like talk
30:51
to your doctor, trust your doctor, trust scientists, all
30:54
those different things. I'm, I'm blown away.
30:56
I don't want. I guess I'm just in the boat.
30:58
I don't want to see polio come back.
30:59
Sorry guys, I'm not a gosh. No.
31:02
I'm not or, or even from a measles, measles or mumps, any
31:05
of those things that that you and I both got.
31:07
Hey, I might have been, I might have been poor as a child, but I
31:10
was vaccinated. Yeah, me too, which we have this
31:13
new grandbaby and they were saying if you were vaccinated
31:16
for measles, mumps, rubella before rebellia.
31:20
However, the hell you say that before 1990 that you might want
31:25
to get a booster. And so my husband and I did
31:27
because we do not want to risk our brand new grandbaby being
31:32
exposed to measles because it it will kill them, it will kill
31:36
them. And what is it going to hurt us
31:38
to get one more? We've had the whole series
31:40
growing up. What what is one more?
31:42
I mean, it's not going to hurt us.
31:43
And I'd rather protect her over anything.
31:46
To me, I just look at better, better safe than sorry.
31:49
And, and I just, I, you know, and I just never understood and
31:53
I, hey, maybe educate me. But again, take it from a guy
31:56
who's been 100% vaccinated through my life and we just
31:59
talked about earlier where I've had zero health issues.
32:03
And so I think, I think genetics, there's so many things
32:08
that play into the role of Wyatt.
32:11
Why does one person at 55 look different than another person at
32:14
55? And and why is one person at 55
32:17
completely 100% pain free and the next person's got shoulder
32:21
surgery, leg surgeries, knee surgeries, all these different
32:25
things. I think I think genetics play a
32:27
huge and and your diet, your food, all these all these.
32:33
Different things. Environment where?
32:34
You live what? You're exposed to like, all
32:37
that. Yep, I I 100%.
32:39
I believe in all of those different things make make it
32:43
up. It's not just one.
32:45
You can't just point to one thing and I'm curious if the and
32:48
Tylenol is a brand name not not not the actual drug.
32:53
So I'm curious I'm. Just hypaminophen or?
32:55
Whatever. Yeah, I'm surprised that I know
32:56
like. The president couldn't say it
32:57
so. So I'm surprised if Tylenol
32:59
doesn't turn around and file a suit.
33:01
Oh heck yeah. Because I think their stock
33:03
dropped because of it. I think their stock dropped
33:05
because of it. Yeah, yeah.
33:08
I mean, that's the only thing that pregnant women can't take.
33:11
We can't take ibuprofen or aspirin.
33:14
And you don't want a pregnant woman with a super high fever
33:18
because that puts her at risk and the fans at risk.
33:20
I mean, like, there is common sense to this, but also, I mean,
33:24
they don't want you just taking Tylenol on the regular either
33:27
while you're pregnant. There has to be some common
33:29
sense imbalance with it so. Well, and I also know that like,
33:33
like ibuprofen and, and those type of drugs can do some damage
33:37
to liver and kidneys if if you're taking them like, yeah, a
33:42
lot. Which I didn't know ibuprofen
33:44
could affect your hearing either like.
33:45
That's. Something that I just learned,
33:47
if you take it on the regular, I was like, what?
33:49
So, yeah, yeah. So, so I cuz I cuz I thought
33:53
when we were kids or maybe we were teens or young adults,
33:56
someone said just take two aspirin every single day no
33:58
matter what. I don't know.
33:59
I don't know if someone say that or something like that.
34:02
It wasn't it. Yeah, Take two aspirin and call
34:04
me in the morning. Yeah, everyone.
34:05
What's that sad? So, so, yeah.
34:07
So it's yeah. So I mean, again, consult your
34:10
health. We are not experts in in this,
34:13
but I just know with my experiences with people that
34:17
that I know personally that are autistic, I don't recall any of
34:21
them ever mentioning that that and and they and they have
34:25
multiple children that are not autistic.
34:28
Right, yeah, which I mean, Shaylee, who is studying
34:32
genetics, she'll rattle off stuff about genetics and autism,
34:36
which it is genetic to some degree.
34:39
But. But not all cases.
34:41
But yeah, she'll rattle off. I don't remember what she says,
34:44
but yeah, she'll remind me of all this stuff.
34:47
But yeah. Yeah, 100%, almost anything and
34:49
everything. I really believe you know big
34:51
time about genetics. It's a, it's a crapshoot.
34:54
It's a kind of kind of like being born into wealth.
34:58
It's a crapshoot. It's a crapshoot.
35:00
It's a crapshoot and same same when it.
35:02
Comes to it, why weren't we not born into wealth?
35:04
Yep, like. That Logan?
35:06
Logan asked me that every single day, you know, and it's a
35:09
bummer. I'm like, sorry, son, you
35:10
weren't born to the Prince William and Princess Kate.
35:13
Sorry. Great.
35:14
Yeah. This is this is what you got,
35:16
dude. Yep.
35:16
This is what you're stuck with. Yeah.
35:19
So, but I'll be curious to see how that unfolds in the next
35:22
couple weeks here. Yes.
35:24
So over the weekend I got stuck into watching this show this
35:27
summer. I turned pretty.
35:28
Have you heard about this? Show I, of course.
35:30
Yeah, it's on Amazon. You're right.
35:33
Yeah, I don't know. I'm familiar with it.
35:35
Not usually my normal thing to watch, but I.
35:37
It's not normally mine either. I don't even know how I got OK.
35:40
It's kind of like that coming of age type show.
35:43
It reminds me of Twilight but mine is like the vampire and the
35:47
werewolf. It's like the girl that the two,
35:49
well the young girl, the two guys that are in love with her.
35:52
But plot twist they're brothers. Like they are brothers.
35:56
Uh huh. Hopefully.
35:57
Legends of the Fall Is this Legends of the Fall?
36:00
Basically, hopefully I didn't just, but I mean, if you've
36:04
watched the first season, you, you, you know what's going on.
36:07
So I didn't ruin anything for you.
36:08
But yeah, yeah, I got completely drawn.
36:12
And there are three seasons, there's three books.
36:14
This was which I made all the way through the entire thing
36:17
this weekend. Like Jay was probably getting so
36:19
mad at me because I'd be like, I'm going to go upstairs and
36:21
watch my show. And he's just like, like what?
36:24
Bedtime with me? No.
36:25
Then go watch the show. Because I know it's not a show.
36:27
He's he is not going to watch this show.
36:30
He's going to be sitting there going, what in the hell is she
36:33
making me watch? Like, like, no, no.
36:37
So yeah, I get sucked into this and I I finish like all three
36:42
seasons this weekend. Wow.
36:44
Come to find out, OK. Because like, Book 3 was like
36:48
the finale of Season 3, but there's going to be a movie.
36:53
Oh boy. I know it's like, Oh my God,
36:57
yeah. So I, I think I kind of like
37:00
like this show because there's a lot of Taylor Swift songs in it.
37:04
And it's like right at the the perfect moment, a Taylor Swift
37:09
song comes on and it's just, it takes you back to that time of
37:13
being a teenager, like your first love or that love that you
37:17
know that you can never be with it.
37:19
Stuff like that. You're like, OK, plus I'm a
37:22
girl, so I get sucked in all that stuff really easy.
37:24
But just for anyone who has watched the show and knows what
37:27
I'm talking about, I am Team Conrad, not Jeremiah.
37:31
So I mean, if you want to hate me for that, hate me for that,
37:35
well, I'm super excited. There's a movie, so I'm
37:38
thrilled. I mean, it's one of those
37:40
things, I think if I enjoy those movies, I generally will enjoy
37:45
the ones from the guy's point of view.
37:47
So that's, well, I mean, in terms of like when you're
37:52
talking coming of age. So for, for, for me, it was
37:55
like, you know, like meatballs or something, I mean.
37:58
Porky's like the. Animal House Yeah, but but I did
38:02
I will say, and you know me, I do like AI.
38:05
Will you know, I do like a good ROM com.
38:07
I do. I I get sucked into ROM coms and
38:10
I just watched Miranda Cosgrove's The Wrong Paris.
38:15
How is that? Adorable.
38:17
Adorable because she's on, you remember she's on a, she's on a
38:19
dating show basically. So yeah, it's, it's super cute.
38:23
Super cute. And if you know her from iCarly
38:25
and school Rock and all that. So Yep.
38:28
Yep. Yeah, so, so I did watch, I did
38:31
watch that I'd put it off forever that I had a little
38:33
break this morning that I can't watch it and it's it's on
38:35
Netflix now. Normally, normally you you know
38:39
me well enough to know normally I like I like action, I like
38:43
procedurals, dramas. I am not a horror fan.
38:47
That's the one thing either I know that horrors made horror
38:51
movies and stuff have made a real like Weapons and all these
38:54
movies have made a. Real research, it's not so much,
38:56
it's not so much the horror movies for me, it's the ones
38:59
that fuck with your mind. I mean that those are the ones
39:03
that not necessarily the gore ones, but the ones that you're
39:07
going, Oh my God, you know, like, yeah, those.
39:09
Were so you're talking M Night Shalaman in those different ways
39:12
with the twist in it and different things like that.
39:15
Yes, no, even the saw like you know, because those like yeah,
39:20
they have the gore aspect to it, but those really mess with your
39:23
mind too. It's no.
39:25
I think I watched the 1st 2 songs and that was it.
39:29
I was like I'm out. I am no.
39:31
What I what I think of a good like a good movie like that.
39:34
I think of my gosh, Hannibal Lecter, what's that one?
39:38
Silence of the Lambs. So that's those are the kinds.
39:42
And if you're talking like fun, fun stuff and tell Jay about
39:46
Knives Out. I love the Knives Out movies.
39:48
There's there's that's coming back and there's going to be a
39:50
third one coming out. But it's a it's a detective.
39:53
I mean, there's a murderer. It's a detective, those kind of
39:56
things. So I'm, yeah, I'm big.
39:57
I like. But it has to be that he can't
39:58
figure it out. That's what makes the nice out
40:01
cool is because you're trying to solve it a lot.
40:02
You're trying to solve it like, you know, so I so yes, I like I
40:05
like, you know, Matlock and Elsbeth and those kind of
40:09
procedurals where they're trying to figure out who who done it.
40:11
I like the good. I like the good whodunits.
40:13
And then and then you know me out of I like a good action
40:16
movie. So Elisa Neeson kicking some
40:19
ass. I'm all about South most of the
40:21
time. Those are my kind of movies.
40:24
And then and then ROM com, Yeah, ROM com will slip, slip in
40:29
there. I am not into which shocks my
40:31
son, being a comic book fan. I am not into anime.
40:35
Are you into any anime? Different things.
40:37
No, but my kids are. I know, I know.
40:40
Manga or whatever it's called, which I could be pronouncing
40:44
that wrong, I'm sorry, I don't know.
40:45
But yeah, they are. Which I think like.
40:48
I think three of them out of the four are into it.
40:51
Yeah, the K pop, or at least. Yeah, watch a little bit of it.
40:54
I no, the K Pop Demon Hunter is not, which is surprising because
40:59
my daughter loves Stray Kids, the K Pop group, because I, I
41:04
had to ask her about this, like that movie that you're talking
41:07
the K pop Demon Hunters. I thought it was, I thought it
41:10
was another K pop group because there's so many of them and
41:14
they're so popular right now. It's like, is this another like
41:17
K pop group? And she's like, no, it's just,
41:19
it's just a movie. It's not a real band.
41:21
I'm like OK. They sing along and it's a sing.
41:24
It's a sing along. I don't know, I she, she was not
41:28
impressed or did not want to watch it or I don't know, she it
41:32
didn't have anything to do with Stray Kids, I guess.
41:34
So she didn't want to have anything to do with it.
41:36
I don't know but so. Yeah.
41:39
So you would. Yeah.
41:39
So you would think that I was. Yeah, that not that I'm not into
41:42
that, does it? My son is I.
41:45
Wouldn't necessarily think those two things would go to grip
41:48
together though, like being into superheroes.
41:51
And yeah, they don't. They don't, you know, it's kind
41:54
of like, it's kind of like like Star Trek and Star Wars for me,
41:58
I enjoy Star Trek better than I enjoy Star Wars.
42:02
So I'm more of a Star Trek fan because but again, it's Star
42:05
Trek for me is thinking like they're there's little morality
42:09
plays and and different things like that compared to just
42:11
lightsaber battles, which is fine.
42:14
I like, you know, I like a good Star Wars movie too.
42:16
But but I but I but like my buddy at work, AJ.
42:20
Oh God, he's an over the moon Star Wars fan.
42:22
Like he's just Oh my. Well, remember Cephas Mica was a
42:25
massive. Right.
42:27
Massive Star Wars fan. So there, there, there's those
42:30
little, you know, little places for it so.
42:34
But before I forget, we discussed in a few podcasts ago
42:40
how I talked about I've been cleaning out our two storage
42:43
units and I found my My Little Ponies from when I was a child.
42:49
Wow. And I supposedly had saved them
42:51
for when I had a daughter, but then I never let her play with
42:53
them. Well, my cousin, she heard that
42:56
podcast and she had to call and remind me that when she would
43:01
come over, I would only let her play with certain My Little
43:05
Ponies. Like, she couldn't play with
43:08
whichever one she wanted. I would only let her play with
43:11
certain ones. And then when we played Barbies,
43:14
I would always make her be the kid dolls.
43:17
She could not be the Barbies. And I had totally forgot.
43:19
I had totally forgot about that. And I was like, I was like,
43:23
damn, I was a tyrant back then. You were hardcore, man.
43:26
Hardcore. Yeah.
43:28
Not you would not have been fun to play with.
43:30
Like no. I'm surprised they still put up
43:34
with me and wanted to come over to her house, no?
43:36
One wants to be Ken. No, unless you're the boy like
43:41
that's being sucked into playing with his sister or his friend,
43:44
whatever. Then you're then that usually
43:46
the bullies are the Ken dolls, but I didn't have no bullies, so
43:49
I had to make something to the Ken dolls.
43:51
So yeah. And then my other cousin
43:54
Jessica, I would make her be Ken, but she hated playing dolls
43:57
of any kind. So I think she was a she might
43:59
have been OK with being Ken, but she might have not.
44:01
I might have just been doing it just because I wanted her to.
44:03
I don't know. So yeah, I don't know.
44:06
I thought that was funny. I totally forgot about it.
44:08
So anyway, and it's some sad news today, Catfish, the TV show
44:12
has been cancelled. Did you hear about this?
44:14
I did not, and I do. I am familiar with the show
44:16
though. Yeah, I never watched it, but I
44:18
do understand. I understand the premise though.
44:20
I mean, I like to watch. I would watch it periodically.
44:22
Why was it like Die hard watching it?
44:24
But yeah, yeah. So Yep, it's done.
44:28
I know my my Co worker Patty was into the is into the TV show
44:30
Cheaters. I have watched that a lot.
44:34
Is that thing still on the air? I don't know if it's still on,
44:37
but it's just. Reruns.
44:38
That's like the Mori. The Mori show is all reruns and.
44:41
The nice thing about the nice thing about streaming is you
44:44
have everything and anything, anything and everything is out
44:49
as out there for streaming right now.
44:51
So I, I had gotten down a rabbit hole a couple days ago.
44:55
I'm on vacation this week, so I've been enjoying just hanging
44:57
out at the house and and I an old TV western called the Big
45:01
Valley, which stars Lee Majors and Linda Evans and Barbara
45:06
Steinwick. It's from 1965.
45:07
And I went, I just went, I went down the does Jay like?
45:12
Westerns, you went down the rabbit hole.
45:13
I do because I think his dad would make him watch him over
45:16
and. Over when he's younger.
45:17
Too so. I do.
45:18
I like, I like a good. I like a good Western.
45:20
Yeah, it's kind of weird. I guess I'm kind of weird to
45:23
people, but yeah, I like. I mean, the extent of the
45:25
Westerns I like is young guns and young guns.
45:28
Too. Those were great.
45:29
I remember both. I remember both those movies.
45:31
Love both those. Love the both those movies,
45:33
Yeah. I'm surprised we haven't been
45:35
cancelled by people because. Not yet, Not yet.
45:38
Not. Yet someone did say hi.
45:40
I thought it was a scammer that said hi in one of our comments.
45:43
I didn't know if you were going to respond back to him or
45:44
something. I did not because it is a
45:46
scammer. If you click on their if you
45:50
click on their profile, you can usually tell.
45:53
I'm like, well, I did not even go back.
45:54
I mean you. Could respond.
45:55
I don't no, I just. Want No I just went same as you.
45:58
Like probably scammer no one no. You can usually tell if you
46:02
click on their profiles and then look and yeah, don't, yeah.
46:06
I mean, that's the one. That's the one person that's
46:09
reached out to. Us.
46:10
I know it is. Yeah.
46:11
We're broke. What do you want?
46:13
What do you want, man? We're broke.
46:15
Yeah. Broke.
46:15
What do you want? Good luck, we're not sending you
46:17
any money. What do you want?
46:19
Got nothing, got nothing to send man.
46:21
Got nothing to send if I had something to WE.
46:22
Only have 6 listeners, we're not making any money.
46:26
There's going to be someday they're going to discover a
46:28
Nigerian Prince who tried to give away his billions and he
46:31
was he, he really existed and just couldn't give it away, I
46:34
guess. You have someday, someday.
46:37
Oh my gosh. Oh, that's Barkley.
46:42
I will say it will be interesting.
46:44
I'll I'll let you I'll report on next week before we go is my
46:47
sister Robin is passing through town and I've never had a family
46:51
member ever at my house. So so it'll be nice to see my
46:55
sister Robin and her husband Mike.
46:56
They're big fisherman, so they must have gone.
46:59
They must be on a fishing trip or something and they're passing
47:01
through tri-cities today. So I I said just come on over
47:04
and and a little after three they're supposed to come.
47:07
So be curious to see, you know, I've never had a family member
47:10
at my house so. How it's how it's going to,
47:12
it'll be fine. You're not going to.
47:14
Be awesome dogs are going to be as the house is not as clean as
47:18
Megan would like it. Oh.
47:19
My God, I'm sure it's fine. Oh, she sounds like me, though,
47:23
right before the holidays. Like I drive everybody crazy,
47:27
crazy because I'm stressing out and I'm cleaning and they can't,
47:29
right. They leave like one dirty dish
47:31
in the sink. I start freaking out.
47:33
People can't be in the kitchen with me.
47:34
It's it's a whole, it's a whole production.
47:36
The kids are like, Oh my. Gosh, yeah.
47:38
So that's yeah, that's where I was today when she left.
47:40
Left today. She is like, I can't believe
47:42
you're inviting your sister over to this pigsty.
47:44
I'm like, you know, you and I, I grew up not not with my foster
47:49
parents, but with the wall says I grew up in a pigsty.
47:51
I know what a pigsty looks like. And this and this does not look
47:53
like a pigsty. Like my mom hated cleaning the
47:56
house so guess who was the house cleaner?
47:58
You. Were.
47:59
I hate so this is like one of my trauma things not to get off
48:04
like. Hell hell loop.
48:06
Oh yeah, this could be so she loved to bake or cook or
48:10
whatever, but she hated cleaning up and doing the dishes.
48:13
And back then, nobody had dishwashers.
48:16
I mean, unless you were. Yeah, we didn't, the wall says.
48:19
No, we didn't. Have anything right so I was the
48:21
dishwasher and she would I mean the counter would be piled high
48:27
with pots and pans and dishes and it would take me forever to
48:30
wash them. And so yes, that is if I go,
48:33
this used to happen when I was doing mornings because I'd have
48:35
to go to to bed so early and the kids would be still be up to
48:37
older kids. You know, when you got to go to
48:39
bed at 8, Like no, like 14 year olds going to want to go to bed
48:42
at 8:00. So they would be eating,
48:44
pilfering through the kitchen and they would leave all these
48:47
dishes and I would get up the next morning and it would be the
48:50
counter and the sink would be covered and I would start to
48:52
freak out. But it was just from my
48:55
childhood, just a trauma response.
48:57
So I've kind of I've tried to be better and it's probably not a
49:01
lot better. That's a good topic for a future
49:04
podcast. Like could someone just drop by
49:07
your house right now and you'd and you'd be and you'd be and
49:11
you'd be OK and you'd be OK? Now would be fine.
49:14
Now, when I was going through the storage units, no, because
49:17
it was just like the entire downstairs was just full of
49:21
stuff everywhere because I was trying to sort through
49:24
everything. And yeah, now it's fine.
49:26
It's, I mean, I think that. For us, the biggest thing is a
49:29
lot of dust from the dogs. Yes, I think, or I think more
49:34
than anything else, cuz our dogs go in and outside so much and
49:36
we've got, we have two swinging doors up in the, up in the And
49:40
so I think the biggest thing is not clutter or stuff.
49:43
It's just, yeah, stuff is dusty. Yeah, yeah.
49:47
Like I can't handle clutter and OK, well, hopefully you can fill
49:51
us in on how this visit with your sister goes.
49:53
Your first family family member coming to your house.
49:55
I know never, never in my gosh and all these and all, I can't
49:58
think in all these years. You growing up and progressing?
50:03
Well, I was too cheap. I didn't want to go pay for a
50:06
cheeseburger today. That's it for today's episode of
50:10
