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
Well, we are officially back from our holiday grade.
0:45
Welcome back. There's the light.
0:49
It's a party. It's a party.
0:52
Show us your lamp. This is.
0:54
Your. Ring light.
0:56
Yeah, so the ring light ended up getting, Bodie ended up going
0:59
under there I think was Bodie or Barkley got tangled up in the,
1:02
he got tangled up in the cords underneath the desk.
1:06
And so and so he ended up yanking it out of the wall.
1:09
Now the hilarity. You know me well enough to know
1:11
that I went to Walmart and I've been going to Walmart like over
1:14
the last few months to get a new ring light.
1:16
And I'm looking for the $9 one, right.
1:19
And the $9 one is out and the Next up there.
1:21
And of course, it's not like you get a, you can get a 15 or even
1:23
a 20. The next one's the $35, right?
1:27
Like, like the standing like, but the standing one, it's like,
1:29
what? Where's the Where's the little
1:31
baby ring light? I mean I have the standing one.
1:34
Of course you do. But I think mine was from Amazon
1:36
and it wasn't $35.00. So, you know, everybody needs to
1:41
buy their social media teenager a ring.
1:43
Like for Christmas, I was. Like, yeah, you're you're a big
1:46
pimping at your place. And so, you know, I'm I'm
1:49
surprised you don't have what is it the where they have the
1:50
holder, where they have the phone like sideways.
1:52
I see that all. I think I do have.
1:55
I do have that for the ring light.
1:57
I just don't know. How to right.
1:59
So it's like, yeah, so but but you are correct, because
2:02
everybody I'm sure is starting a podcast or every teenager
2:05
starting a podcast, everybody starting a podcast.
2:08
And so and they need the all that stuff like, man, they're
2:11
making big money. No one's making well the people
2:15
I'm saying. People that make.
2:16
Stuff as the podcast and influencers aren't making any
2:19
money right the. Problem the ring lights and all
2:21
the. Manufacturers.
2:22
Oh, I'm sure it was. I'm sure it was a good Christmas
2:24
forever. I'm sure it was a good Christmas
2:25
for those guys, right? Oh, definitely.
2:27
So Speaking of Christmas, how was your Christmas?
2:30
It was good. Do you want to go first?
2:32
You want me to go first? Well, inquiring minds want to
2:35
know if Megan was happy with all her gifts.
2:40
So for the so interesting story about this for the first year
2:45
ever. So normally she doesn't take
2:49
anything ever back or anything. So I did get her jewelry from
2:53
Fred Meyer and she did ask, hey, can I go exchange this for
2:58
something else? I got her some earrings and I,
3:00
I, you know, so she did go get a bracelet.
3:03
So I'm assuming the jewelry was not on her list because you have
3:07
talked about she. Had mentioned she had mentioned
3:09
jewelry. But she mentioned.
3:11
Jewelry but not but it wasn't on our list.
3:13
OK, so it. Was on the list.
3:14
Specifically on her list she was like I want these diamond
3:17
earrings XYZ no. It was just friends jeweler.
3:21
No, it was some extra, it was an extra little gift.
3:23
OK, so interesting enough that so so she yeah, so she she she
3:27
never asked, but this time she said, I can I take that?
3:29
And I said sure. And so she did that.
3:32
And then The funny thing is we so I was at the company party
3:37
and this year we had it at Twigs, one of your favorite
3:40
places in Kennewick. But it but it was just a lunch.
3:43
So there are no spouses, blah, blah, blah.
3:45
And so Nick? So they're going cheap is what
3:47
you're saying? Right, So Nick the general
3:49
manager had bought what digital photo frames, he bought some
3:53
headphones, he bought a little Bluetooth boom box thing.
3:57
And then and then there was this comforter, this Gray and really
4:01
cool comforter from Costco, one of those big fancy faux fur
4:05
ones, super expensive ones, right?
4:07
And so I'm sitting there going, I should get the digital photo.
4:11
You know, that was my first thought knowing Megan.
4:14
But we just got a brand new bedroom set that we got at
4:17
Walker's and it's Gray. And I thought, well, that would
4:20
match. So dumbass me gets the gets the
4:24
quilt set, which is absolutely expensive.
4:26
It really is. And so it was one of the things
4:29
that was not on her list. And so at the end of Christmas,
4:32
she's like, Hey, do you have the receipt for that?
4:35
And I did not, I did not tell her that it was a re gift.
4:39
She was cool with it, but but I just said, I said, actually I
4:43
got that at the company party. And I said, and I said, damn it,
4:45
I should have gone for the digital photo.
4:47
What was I thinking? Anyway, we're going to use that
4:50
comforter set since I don't have a receipt in the guest room.
4:53
Yeah, you're stuck with it now. But but I but I want to say
4:57
overall she I mean as she says she got everything on her list.
5:00
I don't think there was any. But you got the extra, didn't
5:03
you Get the concert tickets for Jack?
5:05
Johnson, Yeah, Jack Johnson. She loved that.
5:06
That was like the extra. Thing.
5:08
Yeah, there was. Oh, she had a ton of extras.
5:10
I got her a Buckle gift card. I got her Roscoe's coffee.
5:13
I mean, she she like, she says she if, if yeah, and stuff that
5:18
wasn't even on her list. So she does.
5:20
Right. But stuff that you knew she
5:21
likes. So yeah, you know, she likes the
5:24
coffee plays. You know, she's just a buckle,
5:26
right? Stuff like that then.
5:28
Yeah, I just, I mean, I can't again, just get I, I, I getting
5:31
a rise out of her is just, it's just tough.
5:33
I mean, like I said, the pink to Vegas, you know, she said, oh, I
5:38
cried for that one. Yeah, well, I cried too.
5:41
My wallet, My wallet cried bloody murd.
5:46
And that's the problem is now you have to go to that extreme
5:51
to be able to get that kind of reaction out of her now because.
5:56
Yeah, she's not expected. You know, I mean, that's the
5:59
good news, Michelle. She doesn't expect it.
6:02
No. You know, but but but yeah,
6:05
trying to find those, Yeah, trying to find those those gifts
6:08
that really make her cry and make her wow is just that it's a
6:11
hard ass. But we had we had a good, we had
6:13
a good, we had a really quiet Christmas because Logan wasn't
6:17
here and then Kyron was here and they went saw his dad the next
6:24
day or the couple days after that.
6:25
The crazy thing I got to I got to bring this up really super
6:28
quick and I will not spend a lot of time on it.
6:30
So when do you open presents? For us and our kids or in
6:37
general? Yeah, just Christmas.
6:38
Christmas. Do you?
6:40
Do you do Christmas Eve or do you do Christmas morning?
6:43
Christmas morning. But now that Benjamin and Haley
6:46
have their own little family, the only reason they came over
6:49
Christmas morning this year is their washer flooded their house
6:54
a couple months ago. And so their floor has been torn
6:56
up until they've been battling insurance.
6:58
You know that limbo, you get in with insurance until they can
7:01
come fix it. And so they have been in that
7:03
limbo for a couple months with a baby, mind you, which is chaos.
7:08
And so they didn't have a Christmas tree up.
7:10
And so they asked if they could come over Christmas morning.
7:13
Otherwise this was going to be our first Christmas not opening
7:17
presents with all the kids on Christmas morning and their
7:20
stockings. And we were going to do it a
7:21
little bit later on on Christmas Day.
7:24
So I'm foreseeing that's what's going to happen next year or in
7:28
the future now that they do have their own family.
7:30
But generally it is Christmas morning for our immediate
7:33
family. Then like grandma, grandpa, they
7:37
can, they come over later on the day like for dinner, like around
7:42
3. They usually come over like
7:44
around 3:00 and then we have Christmas dinner and open up
7:47
their presents. So, yeah, so.
7:50
So. What about you?
7:51
Why? Here's my dilemma.
7:52
So here's what I here's I have very little expectations in life
7:56
and you know, this is true. It is a true fact.
7:58
It is true. I don't really expect a lot from
8:00
anybody having grown up the way I have grown up.
8:03
I don't really, I don't expect anything from anybody.
8:05
I don't, you know, but as a kid or with my wonderful foster
8:10
parents or, or even for Logan is I have always once, once people
8:16
are up, you open presents. So, so let's say everybody gets
8:19
up at 5:00 AM, Guess what? You're opening presents.
8:23
I just felt that. And so Kyron, this is I, I don't
8:26
normally get irritated, but I was really irritated.
8:28
So Kyron, that night we had Christmas dinner.
8:30
We had a dinner and, and I said, hey, it's like, I'm one of those
8:35
people that when you get up, let's open presents.
8:38
And he's like, Oh yeah, she goes, I might stay up all night,
8:41
just just open presents. And sure as shit on Christmas
8:46
Day he didn't get up till like 9 or 10.
8:50
Oh, so I'm out in the yard playing with my dogs.
8:53
Just waiting. Just frustrated by, I feel like
8:57
that's the only thing I ask, you know what I'm saying?
9:00
And so and so many years ago, so many years ago, we had an
9:03
experience with Logan that I never want to repeat.
9:06
So Pokey and I, so we were going to go to her family's house to
9:10
open presents 1 Christmas, right?
9:12
Well, her dad and he was a nice guy.
9:15
He's passed away. He's a very nice guy, but he
9:17
would never get up before noon or one.
9:20
So he just wouldn't. He just wouldn't.
9:23
So to me it's like so and and they're like, well, you're not
9:25
opening. So we went over to her parents
9:27
place. I'm like son of a like I.
9:30
Mean I wouldn't have gone over until like after one.
9:33
Then you know why. I need to open presents at 5 AM,
9:39
6:00 AM that I guess that's that's that's my expectation.
9:44
It's like, let's get up the. Lesson is you need to have a
9:46
specific time to tell Kyron, like you need to be up by 8:00
9:52
AM whatever time. But he's a grumpy bear, so he so
9:56
one of the things that Kyron has always been he is the worst
10:00
morning person. He just is.
10:02
And I'm going to say I don't care if I mean, he's a pisser.
10:05
He's a pisser in the morning. He is not fun to be around.
10:08
No, he is not. He's grumpy.
10:10
He's a grumpy person. And it's like, so to me, I, I
10:13
was getting excited at Christmas dinner because he's like, hey,
10:15
oh, I'm going to stay up all night.
10:17
We're going to open at 5:00 AM or 6:00 AM.
10:19
I'm good with that. I'm like, yay, we get there.
10:23
And yeah, So I don't know. Should I, should I do a better
10:27
job of telling Megan Hey, next year?
10:28
Megan, the expectation is I don't ask a lot, but I want 6:00
10:31
AM presents. I mean, you can say that.
10:34
How do you think that's going to go over with her?
10:37
Like what do you how does she feel about it?
10:39
Or does she really? Or does she mind either?
10:41
Way she was up, yeah, I don't. I don't think she cares either
10:44
way. Right.
10:45
But I'm like, I'm like, you know, I mean, it's like.
10:49
You're like, you're like a kid. I want to open my presents at
10:53
6:00 so I can play with my toys all day.
10:55
Yes, I mean, that's because football's on, because
10:57
football's on at 10, you know, and you want to eat leftovers
11:00
and all that. So.
11:01
Yeah, so it's so it's like, yeah, it's like Christmas
11:06
tradition for me is like, hey, the minute everybody's up, none
11:09
of this 1:00 bullshit. It's like I.
11:11
Mean you've been that it's Christmas Day, you need to say
11:14
look next year I would like to do XYZ like I.
11:19
Don't care if it's even 7. I don't even care if it's 7:00
11:21
AM but but. Even like 8:00 AM it's.
11:23
Reasonable. I'm like the day is already
11:25
wasted. For you because you have to get
11:28
up at like 4. Right.
11:30
Well, yeah. So anyway, so I remember being
11:33
really upset as I'm walking the yard.
11:35
I didn't, I I never told Megan. I never told Megan.
11:37
I never told her. I was like that upset.
11:39
But I'm not playing with the dogs, you know, in my own pissy
11:42
mood. And I and I and I sat and I'm
11:44
like, I'm like, OK, it's Christmas Day, Virgil, you need
11:47
to snap out of it and not be a pisser about it.
11:50
But I was just more disappointed by the fact that, oh, you're oh,
11:54
I'm going to be up all night and I'm going to and I'm going to
11:56
open presents. So I should have known he's, you
11:58
know, a young person that, you know, they talk a lot of smack.
12:03
That doesn't necessarily mean. They're inconsiderate.
12:06
They are. They are inconsiderate.
12:08
And then, and then Megan, of course, plans everything around
12:11
him. Oh yeah, I have that.
12:14
So we have a couple of. Right.
12:16
It's like now you have 4. I know you, I get it.
12:18
You've got 4 kids and I understand.
12:20
That it's not so much my kids, it's other family members, kids.
12:23
Oh yeah, we have to. Why are we?
12:26
Yeah, I guess I'm just like, why am I making concessions here?
12:29
Yeah, yeah. So anyway, it was good.
12:31
It was, it was good. As you can tell.
12:33
I got, I got which you don't ever see me wear.
12:36
You got to. So I I don't like juries.
12:40
What's that? Or is that a regular ring or one
12:42
it's? A silicone, it's a silicone
12:44
silicone ring or whatever. So we've, I don't know if we've
12:47
ever talked about this. I don't like anything that
12:49
touches me. Like have you ever noticed I
12:51
don't have jewelry? I don't have you.
12:52
Never wear anything. No, and and not even a wedding
12:55
ring. And so Megan had been talking
12:57
for a long time about getting me it's it's almost like a rubber
12:59
band or a silicon, a silicone. And so she got well, maybe
13:03
you'll like that. So I'm trying to get used to
13:05
wearing it and. How's it going?
13:08
It's going good, It's going good.
13:09
The funny thing is, it's interesting.
13:11
My Christmas presents was as Megan said, all my Christmas
13:14
presents benefit her in some way.
13:17
Did you get the record player? I got the record player.
13:19
Yep, I got the record player. I got a Richard Page album, a
13:23
solo album, which is awesome. So red vinyl, very cool.
13:27
So that was one of my favorite, favorite things.
13:29
And a discovery Michelle was, I had thought because I had I
13:35
talked about the fact that when Megan and I got married, she
13:37
says, hey, it's either comic books or 40 or the records.
13:41
And so I had gotten rid of these the I thought I'd gotten rid of
13:44
all the records. Well, I went to our little
13:46
underneath the stairs and there was a big It wasn't a lot, but
13:49
there was probably 240 fives. Oh nice.
13:52
Under there. So there was a ton of old
13:53
records that I had not heard in a long time and I wanted to
13:57
bring up on the podcast and I, I, I was going to bring
14:00
something up that was interesting that I didn't
14:02
mention in the book or that we've not talked about.
14:05
So there was a time when I, when I was 15 to, I don't know,
14:12
early, like, let's say 30 years old.
14:15
I went through a phase to where I was into pop music, like
14:19
really into pop music. So I bought 45 LP's.
14:23
So when I when I first got my first crush on a girl, I dropped
14:27
comics like a hot rock, right, like boom, like, you know what
14:31
I'm saying? I was, I mean, not that I would
14:33
not not. I've always loved comics.
14:34
You already know that that never changed.
14:36
But what I bought as a teenager, I wasn't you would think that
14:40
I'd be buying comics non-stop. I didn't.
14:42
I went through and I go through years where I don't buy any
14:45
comics. And so it it, it varied.
14:48
But one thing I never, I, I should have brought up in the
14:51
book and just in the podcast was I had this massive album
14:56
collection or record collection and, and I would try to buy all
15:00
the Top 40 singles from, you know, so from 1985, probably
15:04
into the early 90s, that's where I spent a bunch of money was,
15:09
you know, and Columbia House ripping them off, RIP them off,
15:15
you know, Oh God, got to get prosecuted now.
15:18
So I had, like you said, so I had this massive music
15:20
collection of, of different things.
15:22
And so when we got married, Megan's like, OK, one or the
15:24
other. And so and so anyway, it was
15:27
great to find these, this box of 40 fives, this bunch of 40
15:29
fives. So it was really cool.
15:31
And songs that I hadn't heard that were not.
15:33
So the cool thing Michelle, is I worked at a station that when
15:38
they went CD, they just gave me their their record collection.
15:41
Oh nice. Yeah, so, so I, so, so I had all
15:45
the 40 fives that they had and, and the LP's that they had so
15:50
and with and, and it got them for free.
15:53
So the cool thing is you're going to love this.
15:55
So there's 40 fives like Glenn Medeiros.
15:57
Nothing's going to change my love for you.
15:59
I mean, there's just these 40 fives, you know, you 2 or the
16:02
streets have no name. So it's all from, you know.
16:06
Yeah. So anyway, it's kind of cool
16:07
just to go through there, put them on the vinyl and and I like
16:10
the sound of vinyl. I love vinyl.
16:13
I am not a collect. I am not a collector in the
16:16
terms of I need Led Zeppelin or Beatles albums or any let you
16:19
know because because you know me.
16:21
The music I like is pretty, for the most part, pretty cheesy.
16:23
I just mentioned Glenn Madero, so nothing's going to change my
16:26
love for. You.
16:30
Oh yeah. Rico Suave.
16:32
I saw him in concert years ago and met him.
16:36
He was on OK, so he had. He played it in Lewiston Rick.
16:41
He had what two hits at the time or whatever one hit he won.
16:44
So the band alias more the words can say Rico suave had that guy
16:50
and then Alicia Silarello, you know, so and I think there was
16:55
one other act They all had like one hit a piece.
16:58
So and the and the radio station, not my radio station,
17:01
but the competition brought him in.
17:03
So I went to the I went to their their concert.
17:06
But Rico slave so but oh, you know what else was done in the
17:11
40 fives? Jive Bunny and the Master
17:13
Mixers. Oh, I love that.
17:16
Right. So, yeah.
17:17
So anyway, so that's the kind of stuff that that I came across.
17:20
Oh, this is a it's a great, great little throwback,
17:23
different things like that. So I just want to drop really
17:25
quick that I did go through a phase where I bought a lot of 40
17:31
fives and albums and and it's cool to hear those, to hear
17:34
those things again. Yeah, yeah.
17:36
So. But overall, Christmas was good.
17:38
Let's hear your Christmas. Matthew drew my name and so he
17:42
got me. It's like a labyrinth.
17:45
It has actual cells. Hold on, I'll woo.
17:48
Woo lookout. Wow, it has.
17:49
Actual movie cells. Yeah, I.
17:53
I know, that's cool. It's the 40th anniversary of
17:55
Labyrinth. It's in theaters this week, and
17:57
I'm dragging Shaylee to go see it.
17:59
Very cool. Wanna go see it?
18:01
So yes, I was so thrilled I had to put that on my list.
18:05
But it was kind of like, you know, it's nothing really.
18:09
Did you have that on your list? I did, yes.
18:11
Oh, got it on Etsy. It would have been cool.
18:14
It would have been better if he had found it on his own.
18:16
That would, you know, I mean, it's still, it's still amazing,
18:18
Don't get me wrong. It's still amazing.
18:19
But yeah. It which it has one of the cells
18:22
from one of the things that I love so.
18:24
Oh good. Oh, that's even better.
18:25
It says that you can't pick which cells you want, they're
18:28
just going through the the movie.
18:31
But so that's great that why. Why do I think that you you and
18:34
Megan are close to the same age? Because the journey of Natty
18:37
Gann. She loves that movie and and
18:42
Princess Bride. She likes all those in that same
18:45
era. I'm not a big.
18:47
I mean Princess Bride is OK, but Labyrinth is for.
18:50
Summer. Right, like I fell in love with
18:54
the David Bowie's character like that.
18:56
That was like the first journey into loving bad boys, I think.
19:01
And when I was and I, I would have been what, 11 with this
19:04
movie came out so. Right, OK oh 'cause that's
19:07
right. You.
19:08
So you are older than Megan. You are older than.
19:10
Megan, yeah, I'm older than her, so hopefully I don't.
19:13
I'll try to contain singing all the songs while the movie's
19:17
playing because I know how irritating that could be for
19:19
people with Wicked. People were getting super
19:21
irritated that people were singing the song, so I'll try to
19:24
not sing the songs from Labyrinth out loud when we go to
19:28
see this movie. You.
19:29
Know it's kind of interesting. I'm super excited.
19:31
It's the shared experience, though.
19:33
I mean, that's what makes it special, right?
19:34
You can have a bunch of you're gonna be, you're gonna be at the
19:36
movie theater with a bunch of people.
19:38
I don't know if there's going to be a bunch, but.
19:40
I don't know. You never know.
19:42
It's only for one day, so hopefully, yeah, the theatre
19:46
will be filled. I don't know.
19:48
I'm I was just surprised it was even going to be playing here in
19:51
Yakima. So I was super excited about
19:54
that and jumped on buying my tickets super fast.
19:56
So so yeah, that I got that great gift.
20:00
Christmas was fabulous because it was our grandbaby's first
20:03
Christmas. So yeah, that was exciting.
20:06
And then my niece, Natalie, do you remember her?
20:09
Yeah, she had leukemia when she was like 8, and now she's, what,
20:14
23? She just got engaged on
20:17
Christmas, so we're all super excited for her.
20:22
And then there was another holiday.
20:24
Ham gravy fail. Oh no.
20:28
This time it was too runny, but I was running behind to make
20:32
Christmas dinner because we had spent so much time opening gifts
20:37
with the kids and so I just didn't have time to try and
20:40
thicken it more. But yeah, it was a disaster.
20:43
So if anyone makes homemade ham gravy that I could purchase for
20:48
the holidays please let me know because I will buy it.
20:51
I I don't care I just want yes I just want homemade ham gravy
20:56
with that salty ham taste like my grandma used to make.
21:00
And so yeah, that and and they and just and just let them know
21:04
that you're going to plagiarize it and not let anybody know that
21:06
it's. Not yes.
21:07
I'd do it. Yes, but the ham gravy wasn't
21:10
the only thing causing problems on Christmas in my household.
21:14
There, of course, was some drama this year.
21:17
It was provided by my mom, so I'll tell you the story.
21:22
So she usually makes things for the kids for Christmas, which
21:26
she did that and that's fine. They all are fine with with that
21:30
because they've grown up with it.
21:33
But she got Matthew Benjamin and Haley Jackson and Jay this
21:39
Doctor Phil book. She.
21:42
Yes. And inside, no, she did.
21:45
Oh, she did. All of them Got a copy of it.
21:47
Right, except for me and Shaylee.
21:50
Shaylee got Shaylee got like some cute little clown music box
21:53
from from Etsy. She didn't get me it, but you
21:55
know, it's basically for Jay and I and Benjamin's is for him and
21:59
Haley. And then inside was a little
22:02
note to each one of them. Like this is Jay's note.
22:07
It kind of said the same similar thing.
22:08
Like, I hope you read and know why I am so concerned about the
22:12
future of our country. And she said that she said that
22:17
as like as the kids are opening this and being like, what the
22:21
fuck, you know, she said that kind of like, I'm worried about
22:26
the future of our country and want you to read this with it
22:29
open my but it was in that tone. It was in that tone that I know
22:36
all too well. It's it's hard to explain unless
22:39
you've like lived it as the child.
22:42
It's kind of like that, like I'm right, don't question, you know,
22:47
like I'm going to prove to you that my opinion is right.
22:51
It's I don't know, it's a specific tone that like sets me
22:55
off because I know it. But a little I'll give you like
23:00
a little back story of something that happened over the summer.
23:03
So she had sent a text to one of the kids saying like, I feel
23:08
you're pulling away from me, which in reality, like nothing
23:13
had been different in their relationship.
23:15
So I don't know why she just spontaneously sent this text to
23:20
one of the kids. And so the kid, when my kids was
23:25
like, well, but they decided that they were going to tell her
23:29
how they felt about all the stuff she had been sharing and
23:32
posting on Facebook that they did not agree with or like,
23:36
which we've mentioned before, you are free to express what you
23:41
feel or your opinion, but that's going to have some consequences
23:44
that come with it. I mean, look at, you know,
23:46
Charlie Kirk's situation. Sure, you could say whatever you
23:50
want, but that's not going to be it's without a consequence.
23:53
So, but my child was surprised by the response that she sent
24:00
back. I wasn't because it's classic
24:04
behavior for her. So she basically doubled down on
24:08
what she had been posting and then you know, she likes to play
24:13
the victim, especially when you express your feeling or you
24:18
correct her or you point out the real facts.
24:22
So I think this kind of plays into why she maybe gave the
24:26
books kind of like I'm right here is a validation type thing.
24:31
I don't know. But she said, so she sells
24:35
things at bazaars. She makes things and sells them
24:37
at bazaars, and she said that there was a lady at the bazaar
24:41
that was selling all these books because there's like, 4 right
24:44
there that she bought. And I'm thinking, well, yeah,
24:46
like Doctor Phil's like, bankrupt, you know, like, of
24:49
course, like she's selling all. These damn books, it's.
24:54
Like, of course, she's selling all.
24:57
Nobody wants to buy these books. I mean, and my kids were raised
25:01
right and to be polite. And so they couldn't say
25:05
anything because like, Jay's family is there, you know, you
25:08
know, they just kind of had to basically like take it,
25:12
especially when she was like, I. Want you to read this with?
25:15
You know, in her weird, I don't know, voice or whatever she was
25:19
trying to do and she could have given it to them yet separate
25:24
from their Christmas gifts and not that Christmas in front of
25:28
everyone if that's what she wanted to do.
25:32
I don't it just, I don't know. And it really upset my kids, I
25:37
think because they wouldn't do something like that to her.
25:42
I think, you know, like, right, even if they think they're right
25:47
and she's in in the wrong or whatever it might be, they still
25:50
wouldn't do that to her. And so I think they were taken
25:55
aback by that. I which still, I think nothing
25:59
really surprises them with her to some degree, but I which my
26:06
friends and I were discussing this and they asked me how I
26:10
felt about it and I said well I it's not me I feel I feel sad
26:16
for my kids because in her doing all of this she is eroding all
26:21
the happy and fun memories that they have with her growing up.
26:25
And so I feel sad for them that she is basically taking that
26:31
away from them or destroying that, however you want to look
26:33
at it like this. This is what they're going to
26:35
remember in the end. You know, she only has so many
26:39
years left and this is what they're going to remember her
26:43
by. And so I don't.
26:45
I almost, I almost feel like, like it's given an atheist a
26:49
Bible on Christmas. I mean, that's, that's what I
26:53
feel like. Well.
26:54
You're going to hell. Let's see you or.
26:57
Or I, you know, I, I have, I have some Mormon friends and
27:00
they've always tried to give me the Book of Mormon, which is
27:02
very nice, very polite. But think of that.
27:04
Oh, they're giving it to me for Christmas.
27:06
What you know, or, and then put a note and I hope you find your
27:09
way. What?
27:11
Which here's so here's to the extreme that she'll go to be
27:15
right. So this happened when Trump ran
27:19
for president the first time and won.
27:21
And my son Matthew messaged her on Facebook and was like, hey, I
27:26
just want to know. I just kind of want to get like,
27:28
why you voted for Trump when he cheated on every single one of
27:33
his wives? You know, he's based.
27:35
Why? Why do you think that's OK?
27:38
And she in trying to prove that whatever she thinks or her view
27:44
is correct or to defend it, I don't know, she brought up the
27:48
fact that their grandpa, my dad had cheated on her when they
27:53
were married. And keep in mind he had just
27:56
died like 3 months before this. That was her defense.
28:02
Like, Oh well, your grandpa cheated on me when we were
28:06
married and I got over it. That was her defense, yes.
28:09
So keep in mind, this is the extent that she will go to to
28:14
prove that she whatever it is, she's right.
28:18
I don't. But I mean so that obviously.
28:21
I was so Matthew sent me a screenshot of that and I was
28:26
livid. So you so they opened it, their
28:31
present. You weren't in the same spot
28:32
when they opened those? No, we were.
28:34
All at Christmas when they opened the Doctor Phil books.
28:38
Like all. Of us.
28:38
So they're sitting there and they go here, kids.
28:40
And then like, holy shit, Doctor Phil.
28:43
Yeah, and like, again, like, there's like Jay's family, some
28:47
of his family is there. So that's why they couldn't be
28:49
rude. But they were clearly upset by
28:52
it. And I think especially like what
28:55
she said a little note that she, you know, again, she could have
28:59
just pulled them aside and given it to them separate from their
29:01
Christmas stuff and been like, hey, I think you should read the
29:04
you. Know what she wanted to say, so
29:06
this was their present. This is part of it.
29:09
And then she always makes them stuff.
29:11
So oh, that's pajama bottoms, whatever it is.
29:14
So I see what I see what you're saying.
29:15
But it's mixed in with that. So the book was in with whatever
29:19
she had made them when they opened it.
29:21
So it's their gift in total. It's sitting right there.
29:25
I get it. You know, it's like, yeah, what?
29:27
I mean, yeah, I mean that. I mean, we call that usually we
29:30
call that tone deaf. It's a lot of things.
29:35
So, yeah, I mean, in those situations, you're polite and
29:37
you say, oh, thank you, thank you, grandma.
29:39
You know, I'm going to, I'm going to use it for kindling
29:41
later. But it's great.
29:42
Thanks. Right.
29:43
And I didn't know that there was notes in them because they just
29:46
kind of opened and were like, oh, yeah, thank you.
29:48
You know, like what you just said.
29:49
And so Jackson, like, on the sly, like, slipped me his note
29:53
because again, they're not going to be rude and point stuff out
29:57
in front of everyone else. But they wanted me to know like,
30:01
oh, there's more to it than just this.
30:03
So I can read this now. Oh.
30:06
Wow. And I'm just sitting there like,
30:07
Oh my God. Look, I wanted to say something,
30:10
but again, there's other family members there, which they
30:14
probably would have been fine with, but right, I'm not going
30:18
to do that at Christmas, but I don't.
30:22
Know so did you talk to your mom or did you just like just I?
30:25
Have to talk to her in person because I can't just text her
30:29
because she will double down or she'll defend whatever.
30:33
So it has to be in person and I haven't really seen her.
30:37
I don't. Really want to be her.
30:38
That's going to be a fun time. Yeah, she'll just be.
30:42
Do you run the risk? Do you run the risk of like, oh
30:45
fine, I just will never come over again?
30:48
Possibly, but I mean, again, we house her in the place that she
30:54
lives. So I don't I don't know.
30:59
I don't know. I don't I don't think the kids
31:02
would be super sad if she if she was like, I'm not going to come
31:06
over, especially now. They might have been before, but
31:10
now they probably just be like well she made her choice or and.
31:15
I agree with that. I think.
31:16
I think they're just that, you know, I mean, that that's a sad
31:20
bridge. I mean, that's it.
31:22
You know, it's one of those things where in this current
31:25
state of, you know, where we're at politically, I've just
31:28
decided to keep my mouth shut because it's not worth it to get
31:31
into any conversations with the Colts.
31:35
It is not worth it. It's not worth my time on my
31:37
Facebook. You notice my Facebook doesn't
31:38
have any of that anymore. It's not, you know, I mean what
31:41
I think, what I think, you know, of what's going on right now.
31:45
I know that it only concerns people that are like minded like
31:49
myself. So to go on with our like 3000
31:52
fans or friends or whatever and go here.
31:54
I, I just, I mean it just, but for me, there's just, it's a
31:58
battle you're never going to win.
31:59
Right, which we've discussed. You're not going to change
32:01
people's opinions. I, we, we can.
32:04
I'm just sharing whatever on your social media is right.
32:07
We can disagree, you know, but I also look at it like you already
32:11
know how I feel. Like if you know anything about
32:14
me personally, you know where I stand on stuff.
32:17
You know where I stand on, you know, gay marriage.
32:20
You know where I stand on abortion.
32:21
You know where I stand. And and I also, as it should be
32:25
obvious just by how I act, it should it should not, should not
32:30
come as a surprise. It should not come as a
32:32
surprise. I mean, it's not there's.
32:33
Also that you can't just let people keep doing this, you
32:38
know? Well, it's.
32:39
It's yeah, I just. You have to find that balance
32:42
and to keep yourself sane and boundaries for yourself.
32:47
So you have to figure out where that is.
32:49
And if you want a relationship like like we've talked about
32:52
this before, Logan is really way further away than than I am, you
32:57
know, and I, I'm trying to understand, I'm trying to
33:01
understand and I there's a lot I don't understand, right.
33:05
And we're, and we're definitely, we're definitely two different
33:07
generations. I like the fact that at least
33:10
there's some common thread for him and I, you know, but I
33:14
always love it when he sends me a text goes Dad, don't talk
33:16
about politics, dad, not because not because he and I don't agree
33:22
on a lot of things. It's because I don't think he
33:24
thinks I'm radical enough or I'm not as extreme in those views as
33:28
he is. And so, and, and like I said, I
33:33
always, I always talk to him like, Hey, if I could solve the
33:35
problems of the world, I would, But I, I can't solve those.
33:38
But there are ways you can solve some problems.
33:41
You can run for office. I mean, if you want to do all
33:43
these things, you're more than capable of doing those things,
33:47
but you're gonna have to put yourself out there and that and
33:49
a lot of people I agree don't want to do that.
33:51
So how would? That.
33:52
Be an interesting conversation with your with your mom.
33:54
So, yeah, and. When it happens, I'll be sure to
33:57
let you know because I'm sure I'm going to want to talk about
33:59
it so. Yeah, boy, how do you?
34:02
How do you approach that subject?
34:04
I will. I mean, I will tell her look.
34:07
Hey, that's not appropriate. Right, you upset the kids were
34:10
upset by the Doctor Phil book in with their Christmas gifts and
34:16
if you wanted to give it to them, you could have done it
34:18
separately and separate from Christmas.
34:21
Matthew was here for right over a week so she had plenty of
34:26
time. Jackson was hope for two weeks,
34:28
so she had plenty of time to come over separate from
34:31
Christmas if she wanted to so. It's like sliding in Mein Kampf
34:34
or whatever. Something like what you know,
34:36
communist Mephisto What the what the Karl Marx, what I got you a
34:40
great book from Karl Marx. You know, communism.
34:43
This is what I got you, mom. How do you think Logan would
34:46
receive like? Oh, he'd love.
34:48
It getting Oh yeah, he would love receive getting Doctor
34:50
Phil. No, no, no not no.
34:53
I'm talking the Communist 1 he would love.
34:55
Well, yeah, I know the Communist 1 he would love, but he'd.
34:57
Be all about that, but it's like but you like but like you said,
35:00
what if what if what if grandma got Bernie Sanders book?
35:02
Yes, well, that, I mean, that was the joke after when we were
35:07
all talking and that was just talking stuff.
35:08
I'm gonna get her like Kamala Harris's book next year or
35:12
Hillary Clinton. Any of those.
35:14
But yeah, she'll hate any of it. Barack Obama, You name it.
35:17
Yeah, and Matthew's like, and I'm going to tell her I want you
35:20
to read this book because I'm worried about the fate of the
35:24
world. Right, right.
35:25
Exactly. Here's Bernie Sanders and and
35:28
The funny thing about Bernie Sanders, which you got to give
35:30
Bernie credit because I've seen videos of Bernie from 1982.
35:34
He is the same principled, yes. Why?
35:38
Even in 1982 with brown hair, he's like the 1%.
35:44
He, he, you know, he's got his talking points, you know, Bernie
35:48
Bro, Bernie Bros. But yeah.
35:50
So that would have been funny if now you'd go drop off a, you
35:53
know, Kamala Harris book for like, oh, she'd be like, but I
35:58
don't get would she, I guess, would she take the joke or would
36:00
she, would she be offended? See, I think she'd be offended.
36:03
Of course she would. She would not see it as the same
36:06
thing. Right, right, right.
36:07
To her, it's OK to give you a Doctor Phil book, but if you go
36:09
give her a Kamala Harris book, it's like what?
36:11
You know? How dare you?
36:13
So right, right. Wow, I should do that for her
36:16
birthday. Normally I get her a gift
36:18
certificate to wear whatever she wants for her birthday, you
36:22
know, and it's a good, it's $100 plus whatever.
36:25
So I should just get her a book instead and that be it for her
36:29
Like birthday gift and. Say hey mom I was driving along
36:32
Yakima Ave. I saw this guy in the back with
36:34
truck sell and Bernie Sanders books and thought you'd love 1
36:36
so it was discounted. It's like 5 bucks but that just
36:40
nothing shows love then my opinion right?
36:43
Or my concern for the fate of the world.
36:45
And I want you to read this so you can open mind.
36:49
So you got over that hump? Yes.
36:51
OK, So what? Anything else that happened?
36:54
Other than that, it was good. Jay's big holiday family party
36:59
went fine. We had it.
37:00
Normally we would have it at our house and we are outgrowing our
37:04
house with the amount of family members that he has.
37:07
And so we had it at the Sila Civic Center and that actually
37:10
went well. So yeah, yeah, that was good.
37:13
No drama. Usually that's the party that
37:15
has the drama. That has the.
37:16
Drama. The drama.
37:17
Yeah, it's my family. So what?
37:19
What did Jay get you? We don't.
37:22
Remember, we don't just stocking.
37:24
I just got my stocking stuffer stuff which is stuff that was on
37:27
my list just like May and stuff that was on my list.
37:30
So you got gift cards and different things like that?
37:32
Yeah, like my dry shampoo and that kind of stuff, all the
37:35
stuff that I use my perfume. So there was not, not a big
37:39
surprise like like, like, oh, here's Disneyland or some crazy.
37:43
No, but I mean we are going to Disneyland.
37:46
I know, I know, I know. You got you guys live a whole
37:49
different lifestyle than the old Rickster.
37:51
I mean, totally. I mean, I get.
37:53
I get it. Yeah.
37:55
Yeah. To me, it's like for me, those
37:57
are the the the, you know, the those are wrapped into presents
38:00
for what I. Do the trips are the presents?
38:04
Well, like the you try, so it's yeah, so I, I so it was good
38:09
then. Yeah.
38:10
I mean, yeah, it was good. I just love having all the kids
38:14
home. Like, I love that Matthew still
38:17
wants to come home. I mean, I'm sure sometimes he
38:19
doesn't necessarily want to. He was dreading like this whole
38:23
drama with the TSA, the flights, and luckily that kind of got
38:28
sorted out before Christmas, but.
38:31
He. Came home.
38:32
So I just like the fact that they all still come home and
38:35
they like to be here and so I just like having them here.
38:39
It doesn't matter like what I get or what we do.
38:41
It's just that we're all together, which he got me
38:44
started watching that show on Apple TV.
38:47
Pluberis is what it's called. He started watching it and then
38:51
I got sucked into it and it's pretty good.
38:55
The premise is it's not really aliens, but it kind of is
38:59
because it comes from space. But it's not like the typical
39:02
like aliens like invade Earth to kill us kind of.
39:06
It's really like, I really like the premise of it.
39:09
So you have to go watch it. I can't really, if I explain it
39:13
too much, it's going to give a lot of it away.
39:15
But basically there's only like a few people, I think 12 or 13
39:21
in the world that is not affected by this like virus
39:25
basically that turns all of us into this little worker humans
39:32
that all kind of function together.
39:34
And so those like 12-13 people, it's kind of showing how they
39:38
are navigating the world and trying to figure everything out.
39:41
And yeah, it's interesting. So that's.
39:44
Cool, that's cool. That's just cool that if you
39:45
like. That kind of stuff.
39:47
Yeah, just cool to have all the kids back for Logan.
39:49
I sent him cash. He was very grateful.
39:51
He is, he is very grateful. He always sends a nice little
39:54
text back saying thank you so much.
39:55
And he's not. He's never been ungrateful,
39:57
which was nice. And so, so for me, it's like
40:00
Kyron gets cash and Logan gets cash And and I always wonder if
40:05
I'm sending enough money. Like I don't know what I don't
40:09
know what a good, what's a good, what's a good level of cash.
40:13
So right now, right now, the boys.
40:15
The boys, they're adults. They're they're adults.
40:16
They're getting 150 bucks. That's pretty decent.
40:20
Is that OK? Yeah, I keep thinking, I was
40:22
going to say ours range anywhere from like 100 to 200 depending
40:26
on. All right.
40:27
So that's what it is like birthday graduations a little
40:30
bit more. Yeah, you know, Yeah, that's.
40:31
Kind of where I'm yeah, OK, so I I OK, because I was asking like,
40:34
well, is that enough? And then I mean, if someone
40:36
gives me 150 bucks, I'd love it. But rate.
40:38
Yeah, but but. That's different.
40:42
I don't know, I don't know what they all like with the with the
40:44
current rate of inflation and how crazy it is, you know, I
40:47
mean, it's like, but but yeah, it's it's kind of cool that we
40:52
had, we had Kyron and then we have his new girlfriend.
40:55
And and so they were, they were here, but it was really quiet
40:58
for us and it was just nice, you know, quite peaceful.
41:02
Barkley. Barkley has a new caller that
41:05
says, sadly, deaf dog. So he's got a, he's got a got a
41:10
collar that says, you know, that he's deaf.
41:13
So but and then Bodie got some new, he got a new dish, a couple
41:18
different things like that. So yeah.
41:20
The cats got a new toy that they love.
41:23
Yeah, I wish we got a bought it earlier.
41:25
We got the, we got the, the carpet that has the dogs that
41:27
are hilarious. You know that they're, they're
41:29
caricatures, which that was that was not on Megan's list.
41:32
So she thought that was pretty funny.
41:34
So little things like that again, I was still someday.
41:39
Oh, I would love to, to impress her someday, but I'm trying to,
41:44
oh, we got to, I just, I got to catch back up with her.
41:47
So it was funny. We we did on the radio show.
41:51
We did that. We do this thing called other
41:52
people's problems. And I think we used to do this
41:55
like your daily dilemma or those kind of things, right.
42:00
And so and so we've got so I think one of the things was
42:07
about flirting with a Co worker. So this woman started the second
42:12
job. She flirted with her Co worker.
42:14
She's married, but nothing like nothing happened.
42:16
Nothing happened, right? But but but they still text.
42:20
And so and so and that was the kind of the premise of it.
42:23
So I'd gotten to the conversation with Patty about
42:25
the fact that my wife has a group of friends, Kelsey, Eric,
42:30
whoever from the gym that she sends, you know, memes and
42:33
different things. But she never sends me any of
42:35
these things. So I now, now I did build.
42:39
I will, I'll clarify. I built the story into more than
42:43
what it probably was. Of course, because she says all
42:46
she goes, I'm sending them poop jokes.
42:47
I'm sending them fart jokes, which I can't stand.
42:49
You already know I don't like the Jersey boys.
42:53
I don't like ACD with people shit.
42:55
And I don't know why people think it's funny.
42:57
They think it's funny. I'm not 12.
42:59
I just even as a kid, I never liked that kind of humor.
43:01
So that's the kind of stuff she says she's sending them, but I
43:04
kind of alluded to the fact, well, she's sending them
43:06
inappropriate, inappropriate, you know, sexy time things and,
43:12
and well, she doesn't send it to her husband, right.
43:14
And then I talked about, and then I talked about what she was
43:17
like, she goes, you called me fuddy Duddy.
43:19
I said, what do you mean? She goes, you called me a fuddy
43:21
Duddy. And I had said, I had said that
43:24
my wife had gone to 50 Shades of Grey.
43:28
Now as a man, I'm like, oh, great.
43:30
OK, so she's going to come home tonight and it's on like Donkey
43:33
Kong. Right.
43:34
Or Magic Mike, if we or when? We whatever, whatever, my wife
43:38
come home. My wife comes home and goes to
43:40
bed like there's like and and and and and to the point where
43:44
her back's to me and she's covered up, you know, like.
43:47
Damn, like. You ain't you.
43:49
Ain't I'm going to sleep? Don't.
43:51
Right? Don't.
43:51
Don't touch me. And so I talked a bit on the
43:53
radio today and I said my wife's a funny daddy because I
43:56
expected, Hey, you're coming from dirty, you know, 50 Shades
43:58
of grey. You don't want to try some of
44:00
this stuff. Not my wife.
44:01
So anyway, so she actually, she normally, I've never seen her
44:05
really take offense or like, but she was like you.
44:09
She was offended by the fact that you called her funny Duddy,
44:12
but she didn't care about the text message thing.
44:14
Is that what you're saying? Well, she said, she said she she
44:17
goes, hey, I'm going to send you all the the fart and poop jokes
44:20
now, just because just because you mentioned it, you know, but
44:24
you know, but it was one of those things where it yeah, she
44:27
just, yeah, it was funny how she took that like you call me a
44:30
funny dud. I'm like, well, I mean, but hey,
44:36
hey, to defend myself, come on, be honest.
44:39
Most women who went and saw that movie went home to their
44:41
husbands and probably that's fun.
44:44
That's all I'm saying, you know, that's all I'm saying.
44:46
And, and my wife can go watch those kind of movies and it
44:50
does. Not be affected.
44:52
There are some people like that, Not everyone is.
44:55
Nope. Like Nope, not interested so,
44:59
but it was funny because this is for the first time she actually
45:02
seemed visibly moved like she. Was like some kind of reaction,
45:06
I don't know if. It was a good reaction, but it
45:10
but it was she was like she yeah, she was not.
45:13
She was not. Now she knows that when I do the
45:16
radio show and I, I will be as honest and truthful as possible.
45:20
I do exaggerate stories to make them.
45:22
I always say I exaggerate. Stories to make them we have.
45:26
To to make them unusual or make them fun.
45:28
So. But this one particular one she
45:30
did. Not like being called a fuddy
45:32
daddy. I know.
45:33
So I'm like, OK, going forward, fuddy daddy going to have to put
45:36
that, put that, put that in, put that in the file, right.
45:39
So but it was just it was just a funny experience.
45:43
It happened today too. It just made me laugh when it
45:46
was, you know, I was like, oh, geez.
45:48
But so, yeah, we had had a great holiday.
45:51
I was going to tell you also, and I'm not going to do it.
45:55
But for those I know that one person said don't ever talk
45:58
about Richard Page again. I get it.
46:00
But really, really I didn't. Say don't ever.
46:03
They just said you. You are like stalker.
46:06
He's my man crush. He's my man crush.
46:08
So, So here's the crazy thing, and I didn't do it, is Richard
46:11
Page is playing at some 80s experience and we've talked
46:14
about the fact he doesn't tour, he doesn't do any of these
46:17
things, but he's going to be in in Atlanta this weekend again.
46:20
He's going to be. I almost bought a ticket to go
46:22
to Atlanta, GA Yeah, it's an 80s experience.
46:24
He's kind of opening for something or doing something now
46:28
for me. Now here's the really is the two
46:30
big hits are Broken Wings and Curie, right?
46:31
Right. Which I've seen him perform that
46:34
at Ringo Starr. I mean, I've seen him multiple
46:36
times do those songs. I would have been more
46:39
interested in going to the show if I heard other songs I've
46:42
never heard and perform live. So he went.
46:46
So one time he went to Ontario and he did his show and he did
46:49
like 7 songs and I'm like OK, I want to go see that.
46:53
Show. I want to go see that show
46:55
because I'm not going to just hear broken wings and Curiae,
46:57
which are the two big, you know, he's had other hit or other
47:00
songs. So it's so I don't.
47:02
So I to my mind, I was like, well, I don't know if I'm I'm
47:04
not guaranteed that he's going to do the other Mr. Mr. songs
47:09
that I want to hear. Now the cool thing if you're if
47:12
you are a fan, which I am is if you go to YouTube quick plug for
47:16
these guys, they did reunite all four reunited in September and
47:21
they did brand new videos of broken wings Curie and is it
47:24
love live. So you can go check it out on
47:28
YouTube and broken wings already has over 1,000,000 views
47:31
already. Oh, nice of them reunited
47:33
because remember I said they they have not performed together
47:35
in 40 years. Great.
47:37
And so they got the band back together for a one time.
47:41
Here's some live, here's some live stuff.
47:42
And I'm like, I'm like Jones. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm
47:47
like, yeah, I was like, I'm like a kid on Mountain Dew.
47:50
I'm like. But now we're now, if he does
47:52
perform other songs, are you going to be kicking yourself
47:54
like, oh. But I thought to myself, if he
47:57
does, it'll show up on YouTube because someone will be at the
47:59
concert and probably take right because because the you know,
48:02
the one out of Canada that he did they I only saw little
48:05
clips, just little clips and I can't find him anymore.
48:08
So yes, I will be disappointed if the the setlist is more than
48:12
the the big hits because you know, but and I thought but then
48:17
I but here's the deal. I don't have my real ID yet.
48:20
Oh. So I know and you can't go.
48:23
You can fly, but it's a hassle. Right.
48:25
And don't you have to pay some? You've got to pay, you got to
48:28
pay a fee, you got to you got to come out extra early to make
48:31
sure that you are. That you right.
48:34
And I thought to myself, maybe if I get lucky, you'll do
48:37
something on the West Coast on, you know, it's a rarity that he
48:39
does anything. It is a rarity that he does
48:41
anything. Yeah, but but also, I mean, I
48:44
have as you, as we joke, I've met him multiple, you know,
48:49
multiple times and gone backstage and he knows who I am.
48:53
I could e-mail. He knows.
48:54
Who you are he? Knows who I am so but I did want
48:57
to get a quick plug in from a boy RP and those Mr. Mr. videos
49:01
which are absolutely the coolest.
49:04
That's so nice of you. It was, it was.
49:07
I mean, they may never. They may never to her again.
49:09
Right now I'm thinking about taking Logan to Toto Christopher
49:13
Cross and the Romantics. But it would have, but it would
49:17
have been the most, most amazing dream if it was like Toto,
49:20
Christopher Cross and Mr. Mr. Right, all all day long.
49:27
Yeah. And they would be perfect for
49:28
that. I don't know, you know, but
49:29
they, they, they, you know, again, they said they're not
49:31
going to tour, but, you know, so there you go, my little quick,
49:35
you know, plug. Sorry, won't bring it up again.
49:39
You're mine. It's OK.
49:40
Well, we could have done today on the The Coming Back podcast.
49:43
We could have dived into all of the craziness in the world and I
49:46
thought we should keep it up upbeat and bright and.
49:49
Wow, this is basically catching up on we were gone for two
49:52
weeks. So which I did catch up on
49:55
shows. Well some of them, not all of
49:57
them. During our break, I did watch
50:00
the Stranger Thing finale. OK.
50:04
And that's an A. Is that an A+?
50:06
I mean, it was OK. I mean, it was they wrapped it
50:09
up the best that they could. At least it wasn't what
50:12
everybody was speculating that it was going to be them just
50:15
playing AD and D campaign. That.
50:19
Was the rumor and I was like I like it better not end like that
50:24
and it didn't. You know, autistic kid or
50:27
whatever. Like what?
50:28
It's a fan. Right, yes.
50:30
So it did not end that way. So again, I think they wrapped
50:34
it up the best that they could. I also did watch the latest
50:40
season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives I love.
50:43
That show. I love the drama, so I finally
50:46
got caught up on that I. Watched Christians, man, what
50:49
the heck? They're Mormons.
50:52
Well, they're Mormons. Kind of the same thing.
50:54
Not really. I mean, kind of.
50:55
I know, I know there's, I know there's all the different, you
50:58
know, it's like. Yeah, I just, I just love all
51:01
the drama. I love the Real Housewives
51:05
franchises so. Yeah, I, I.
51:07
Don't. It's just like a more high
51:09
schoolish version of that basically.
51:11
And then the girls are younger, so and I did catch up on Nobody
51:16
wants this. That's the one with Kristen
51:18
Bell. I love that one.
51:20
Yeah, I've seen the second season, but I love the first
51:22
season. I watched the second season.
51:24
I have not watched the Eddie Murphy documentary.
51:26
I did want to watch that, so that's on my list of things to
51:32
watch. And again, I watch that
51:33
Pluberous with Matthew. It's on Apple TV, so you have to
51:38
go watch it. It's pretty good.
51:39
So yeah, I like it. Did you watch anything or catch
51:42
up? On anything I did well, I watch
51:44
a lot, but I don't watch anything that anybody cares
51:46
about. I mean so 'cause so I took.
51:48
Page videos on YouTube. No no, so I'm an 85 year old
51:52
man. If you're just curious when it
51:53
comes to my TVI like nostalgia TV.
51:56
So so to me, I'm enjoying Elsbeth Matlock, that new show
52:01
called High Potential, where she is the genius.
52:05
Oh yes, she's also in hacks. Yeah, I love her.
52:08
Daughter, I love hacks. I've seen hacks.
52:09
I like hacks. So I like that.
52:13
So I like, I like those like crime procedurals.
52:17
Or I did watch Knives Out the the newest movie that came out.
52:21
So I'm really big into the murder mystery.
52:24
Kind of I mean little things like that or I and I'm a dude.
52:27
So I like action. So I'll watch old 18 episodes
52:30
and you know, Magnum Pi or guys are so it's like I'm.
52:33
An. I'm an 80s kid, you know that
52:37
I'm. Kind of I'm like late 80s, early
52:40
90s. I mean, by the time I was old
52:42
enough to start remembering things, it was, you know, mid to
52:45
late 80s. So like 85 on SO.
52:49
Right. So, so, yeah, so I so I know
52:52
like, oh, the movie, I like Nancy and Cillian, so the
52:54
rookie, the TV show, the rookie. So I like just different things,
52:58
like different things like that. I do not like, I know we talked
53:02
about this. I don't like horror movies.
53:03
So horror has never been mine. I mean, I did enjoy the Scream
53:07
movies, you know, because I think that that's like, sloppy.
53:13
Right, it's making fun of. Right, right.
53:17
And you're always like, oh, here comes the like, you're like,
53:19
here comes the twist. It's like you can almost those
53:22
are fun to watch because you know what's happening.
53:24
But for me, not not watching the strangers or saw or where
53:28
they're disembowing people, just not not going to not going to be
53:33
something I'm going to watch. And then you already know and
53:35
I'll I'll even gladly admit it. I do love ROM coms so there's.
53:40
A great. I mean, if you watch and nobody
53:41
wants this, then yeah, you do. Like that's a wrong call, but it
53:44
does Netflix. Netflix also had a cute movie
53:47
for Christmas where the woman dressed like Santa Claus.
53:51
It's called, it's called like being Santa or something like
53:54
that. But it's a woman who's Santa.
53:56
So it's a it's Mrs. Doubtfire, but as a Santa.
53:59
So it was kind of a cute. It was kind of cute.
54:01
It's a cute premise. Like it's something like
54:03
different, yeah. Yeah, for me, it's one of those
54:07
things where I feel like I need escapism more and more in this
54:12
day and age. And so I don't need things.
54:14
I don't need things that make me think, I guess when I watch a TV
54:17
show or I, I mean, I. Like the Real Housewives, it's
54:21
mind numbing when I make when when Jay is home and he's
54:25
forced, he's forced to watch this.
54:27
He's like. What?
54:28
No, he's like, this is the most mind numbing.
54:33
This is the dumbest stuff. And and I mean, he's a trooper
54:37
because he will sit through it with me, but I know he's just
54:41
sitting there like, what in the hell is she watching?
54:44
So. Crazy thing about so all the,
54:47
all the great sitcoms are, oh, dramas.
54:49
I, I, I go in for about a season and then I'm out.
54:51
So a great example is Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy.
54:55
I loved all of them when they Oh my God.
54:58
Grey's Anatomy? Aren't they on like the 30th?
55:01
Season 20. Five, I am an ER girl and I
55:04
could never get into Grey's Anatomy.
55:07
Never so so so like so for the 1st 4, Four Seasons I loved it
55:11
and they're like, OK now I'm kind of bored with it.
55:13
If you're an ER fan, I got to give a plug out for the pits.
55:17
So I love, I love, I keep. Forgetting to watch it it's.
55:22
So good. And I think a new episode, a new
55:24
the second season is dropping like this week.
55:27
But I love the pit. I love Noah Wiley because he
55:30
does like the librarians. He does falling skies, he does
55:35
leverage, I mean things that I like to watch, but the Pit is
55:38
absolutely fantastic. So add that to your list.
55:41
I will I mean my list. Just keeps crazy and again, and
55:44
but even going for the ER, it's like I love the first few
55:47
seasons of ER, but then when you start mixing in other people and
55:51
like, I don't know who these, you know, it's like The Walking
55:53
Dead. I love The Walking Dead until
55:56
until Rick walked off and I'm like, well, there goes my guy.
55:58
I'm done because Rick was my character.
56:02
I mean. Once ER got rid of George
56:04
Clooney, it was like all downhill.
56:06
Oh, you were out. You were out.
56:07
So yeah, I mean, I like Noah Wiley, I guess is a great, I
56:11
mean I do like him. So he was he was on the entire
56:13
20 plus years that ER was on. But yeah, I did hear that The
56:17
Pit is like the most realistic medical show ever.
56:21
They'll show your junk. I mean, I mean, they're like,
56:24
no, I'm serious. Because it's on HBO, so.
56:26
They it is on HBO and it literally shows that if the leg
56:28
is gnarled or if they're if gals give it birth, you're seeing
56:33
you're like you're seeing that shit come out like what?
56:36
What am I watching? Yeah, they show.
56:39
It. Yeah, so there you'll like it.
56:42
So happy viewing. Yeah, yeah.
56:44
OK. Yeah, I'll definitely make sure
56:47
I watch it now. All right.
56:52
We are getting close to being out of time.
56:55
Yeah, welcome back. There were some other things I
56:58
wanted to discuss but of. Course we never get to them.
57:00
We never get. To them we never do look.
57:02
At the next comic, can Rick just shut up?
57:05
Well, I did want to talk. I'll just briefly touch on this.
57:07
So, you know, CES is going on in Las Vegas right now and they
57:11
just, they just unveiled a robot who folds the laundry.
57:16
Oh, now you're now. You're.
57:17
I don't know why it took them so long to figure this out that
57:20
this is what we want, a robot to fold the laundry.
57:24
That's what AI should be doing, right?
57:26
Yes, yes, definitely. So then I was thinking, well,
57:29
what else would I want this robot to do?
57:32
The dishes? Because we've talked about my
57:34
childhood trauma with the sink being full of dishes.
57:37
So definitely I would want my robot to do the dishes.
57:41
Dishes. What about you?
57:42
What would you want your robot to do your.
57:44
AI like every male SEX. How did I know that was coming?
57:52
Would. You even ask that question
57:53
every. I'm sorry, you know, it's like,
57:56
you know, I can't do it myself. I'm going to leave it with.
58:01
I'll leave it with that. You can.
58:04
Only Sting can do it himself only.
58:07
Sting, I don't think. Anybody else can do it
58:08
themselves. Yeah, that's a whole another
58:10
weird. We could discuss I.
58:13
Think I'm ready. I think I yeah, that's a, that's
58:16
a mic drop. Yeah.
58:18
We'll, we'll just, we'll end with that.
58:22
That's it for today's episode of Rick and That Michelle.
