  Welcome to the Nick and Kristen in the podcast.
• 0:12
  Podcast. Happy Monday.
• 0:14
  Hope you had a good weekend. It is officially spring break
• 0:17
  for us. Yeah, which means our child is
• 0:21
  home. All week long we yes, but we
• 0:24
  before we were let go, we had, we had booked her like time.
• 0:30
  It's it's like an after school program.
• 0:32
  So she's there doing that, and that's fun for her.
• 0:36
  Yes. And fun for us, yes.
• 0:37
  That gives us a week of yeah, you know.
• 0:40
  Mommy's busy. She's got work to do.
• 0:41
  Daddy doesn't want to be with you all day.
• 0:43
  Like, I love you, Yes, but. Like now it's.
• 0:45
  Hard. Yeah, it's a lot.
• 0:47
  But today I wanted to talk about using other people's soap, and
• 0:50
  that's where we're going to start.
• 0:51
  So weird. Happy Monday.
• 0:53
  So a couple of weeks ago your mom came and stayed with us and
• 0:57
  she had a bar of soap, which I don't even know people use bars
• 1:00
  of soap anymore. It's super.
• 1:01
  Weird like sensitive? Skin.
• 1:03
  And so she left the bar of soap here, because do you take it
• 1:06
  with you? No, I think because it's like
• 1:08
  under normally like under $3 a bar of soap, but you just kind
• 1:11
  of leave it and then you throw it out, see.
• 1:14
  That seems wasteful in a time where we don't have any money
• 1:16
  coming in and we have a lot of bodies to soap.
• 1:20
  Soap is soap, right? It's clean.
• 1:22
  And so I saw the soap bar there in Lily's tub, and I immediately
• 1:29
  thought, well, we should use that soap.
• 1:31
  Like we could use it on Lily. We can, we can take it into our
• 1:34
  room and we could share it. But is it weird 'cause like on
• 1:39
  the surface of it, it sounds weird, like you're like you're
• 1:41
  using somebody else's soap. You don't know what the hell
• 1:43
  they did with that soap. Like where it goes in or out,
• 1:46
  what happens. However, it's still soap, right?
• 1:49
  So it's cleaning itself at some. Point.
• 1:52
  You're washing away the residue of the person that used it.
• 1:55
  It's becoming your soap. If I run it under the the water
• 1:58
  for, I don't know, 5 minutes and de soapify like take out that
• 2:01
  first scrub layer, Yeah, like then it's fresh soap and I'm
• 2:04
  just tossing that in the trash. So like, right.
• 2:06
  So how do you feel about would you use your mom's old soap?
• 2:10
  I mean, so yeah, I, I think it's a good question, like, and it
• 2:13
  brings up the question of like, do you lather in your hands from
• 2:16
  the soap or does the bar travel with you, right.
• 2:18
  Yeah, I was told the bar doesn't travel.
• 2:20
  So I lather and then I rub and I and I don't know about my mom.
• 2:24
  I don't want to ask. That's a conversation for
• 2:27
  another day. The bar goes where I need the
• 2:28
  bar to go, right? But I, I would imagine that
• 2:31
  like, yes, if you were to run it under a sink and lather it up a
• 2:34
  couple times, you're washing away the use of the other person
• 2:37
  and then it would be OK to use because it feels.
• 2:40
  Like a waste if I went. Away right.
• 2:41
  Would I use it? Maybe not and not because like
• 2:45
  it's preused OK, but just because I have sensitive skin, I
• 2:48
  use a specific soap and like for me it's fine.
• 2:51
  Well, if it was. The same soap that you use,
• 2:53
  would you use it? Yes, I probably would.
• 2:54
  Do you remember sharing soap with your parents growing up?
• 2:58
  Like no, because we had different bathrooms.
• 2:59
  Did you OK? So she didn't bathe you in the
• 3:01
  same? No, my parents had their a
• 3:03
  separate like shower and then my brother and I had like a tub
• 3:06
  area. OK, but I don't recall if there
• 3:08
  was just one bar of soap between the two of us.
• 3:11
  Yeah, I always had like a loofah and I believe, I believe I
• 3:16
  always had like a shower gel or something like that.
• 3:19
  But again, I don't know if it got used.
• 3:22
  From the shower gel is the fine. Well, yeah, well, the Louvre.
• 3:25
  Yeah. So like, I don't know about all
• 3:26
  that. I haven't thought about that in
• 3:28
  a while. Would you use somebody else's
• 3:30
  loofah like that? Feels gross because loofah's
• 3:33
  scrape off the dead skin. Yeah, it's trapped in the
• 3:36
  loofah. You're supposed to wash your
• 3:37
  loofah like once. Every time I put soap on it.
• 3:41
  You're supposed to put it like in the the clothes washer once a
• 3:44
  week really or something like that.
• 3:45
  I think that might be too too. Aggressive.
• 3:48
  I mean, I am. I am poor now.
• 3:49
  Yeah. Like they're still you.
• 3:51
  Still. Have a loofah.
• 3:52
  Yeah, I have the little, Yeah, the little loofah.
• 3:54
  That's terrible for your skin. It rips your skin.
• 3:56
  It creates micro tears. That's.
• 3:58
  What they say, but I'll be like. What?
• 4:00
  But what benefit is it to you? Well.
• 4:02
  It just helps the soap travel better like because like it
• 4:04
  feels it feels weird. Hands are for I know, but it
• 4:07
  feels weird to just touch myself like while I'm like I've got the
• 4:10
  soap and then I'm just like how it doesn't feel like.
• 4:12
  Security you that you need a barrier between you and you
• 4:14
  just. Doesn't feel like I'm doing
• 4:15
  anything. I'm just rubbing my like it's
• 4:16
  like it's like feeling clean after just rubbing my arm.
• 4:19
  I don't know. You take it.
• 4:20
  And then you. Kind of.
• 4:21
  Go like this and the arm for the sun and then.
• 4:23
  Like like it just rubbing my hand up in there like I.
• 4:28
  Don't know man, I have never thought about it like I.
• 4:31
  Like some separate? I always, I, I stopped using
• 4:34
  Aloofa years ago because everyone was like, it's a, it's
• 4:37
  a little terrarium essentially of bacteria and it like doesn't
• 4:42
  go away unless you deep clean it.
• 4:44
  And I was like, that sounds like a lot of work and something I'm
• 4:46
  never going to do, so I'm just going to get rid of it.
• 4:48
  But it brings up the same question of like wiping with
• 4:51
  toilet paper. I wipe with toilet paper because
• 4:54
  there's a nice layer between my hand and the poop.
• 4:58
  Well. Yeah, but that's excrement.
• 5:00
  Yes but it's the same thing like cuz then you wash your hands
• 5:03
  afterwards and it's all clean right?
• 5:05
  So like why are we wasting toilet paper?
• 5:08
  Why not just grab it with your hands and and wipe yourself that
• 5:12
  way? It's that little extra layer.
• 5:14
  Sure it's probably micro scraping my butt but like I'll
• 5:17
  take. It I'll sacrifice my God.
• 5:19
  Yeah. So I, I, I don't see the micro
• 5:22
  cuts of the thing. I just don't want to have to
• 5:24
  walk like you. Yes, but I'm also not getting
• 5:27
  into the shower, just head to toe filth.
• 5:30
  Like I have showered, I have used the bathroom with toilet
• 5:35
  paper before I get into a shower.
• 5:37
  So I'm not in a situation where I'm like, oh, that was gross,
• 5:40
  but now I need to wash my leg. Yeah, that's we're getting too
• 5:42
  disgusting for the podcast, but like.
• 5:45
  Interesting, but it's like that layer layer is important.
• 5:49
  So I I do kind of want to switch to a bidet though.
• 5:52
  Yeah, I mean, a lot of people have bidets.
• 5:54
  I know and like it seems. Seems cleaner.
• 5:57
  I mean, a lot. Remember how like they were
• 5:59
  selling like hotcakes during the Yeah, because of the toilet
• 6:01
  paper shortage. I've heard that they're cleaner.
• 6:03
  I heard that it's a a somewhat interesting experience, a
• 6:07
  pleasant experience, a pleasant experience.
• 6:09
  I just at this point, being in my 40s, I have done it a certain
• 6:14
  way. OK.
• 6:15
  And this is one. This might be a source of
• 6:16
  contention for me. I just can't imagine it gets
• 6:20
  like you clean. But people have been using it
• 6:22
  for years and love it. If anything, do that and then
• 6:24
  wipe afterwards and like, feel the clean.
• 6:26
  Yeah, a little. A little.
• 6:27
  Yeah. I've got a brand new segment
• 6:30
  that I'm calling. Oh, boy.
• 6:32
  By the way, I love this. I don't have to run anything by
• 6:35
  anybody. I can make up any segment, any
• 6:38
  stupid thing I want because no one can say no.
• 6:40
  Even Kristen's too busy to really care about what I'm
• 6:42
  doing. So I get to make up all the
• 6:44
  stuff I want for this podcast. It's kind of nice.
• 6:46
  Before I had to run it by you and like three other people.
• 6:49
  There's like, you can't call it the great, the magnificent
• 6:52
  Honky. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:54
  Well, yeah, that's a, that's a different story, yes.
• 6:57
  Ask someday I would comment about if you want to know the
• 7:01
  story about the magnificent honking and we'll tell you.
• 7:04
  But here's a segment called Things I Didn't Know I Had to
• 7:06
  Worry About. Yeah, look it.
• 7:08
  Has a graphic. I know I was busy here, watch
• 7:11
  this video. There's no sound to it, but I'll
• 7:16
  describe it for there's a. Person on a beach, Yeah.
• 7:19
  She's legs are now stuck in the sand.
• 7:22
  Person walks over, falls into the same.
• 7:24
  Thing they walk right over to the same spot and also get
• 7:27
  stuck. They were.
• 7:27
  Wondering what what happened? Why were you stuck?
• 7:30
  Oh no. Is the tide coming in?
• 7:31
  It's quicksand. It's quicksand.
• 7:33
  Yeah, so this family this like so.
• 7:36
  Oh, so it's the young girl that got stuck 1st and then the
• 7:39
  mother rushed in to help but she got trapped.
• 7:41
  But there was a bunch of people because there's rocks nearby,
• 7:43
  this little water service. And they came by to like, help
• 7:46
  her out. Like, I know this dramatic
• 7:48
  music. Oh my gosh.
• 7:49
  So they had to like, scoop her out and her daughter out like of
• 7:53
  this quicksand, which came out of nowhere.
• 7:57
  And look, she's Oh my gosh. Oh wow, she's up to her like
• 7:59
  armpits. Yeah, she's sinking down.
• 8:02
  They said they were comp throughout and they gave like
• 8:04
  ropes, the mother and daughter before the tide came in, because
• 8:07
  if the tide came in, it would drown them.
• 8:10
  So like, I didn't know that quicksand, it was an actual
• 8:15
  thing. Now, is it actually called
• 8:17
  quicksand? I I think that's.
• 8:19
  What it's like or is it just like really a really dense sand?
• 8:24
  On the well, it's like a watery sand.
• 8:25
  So yeah, it's basically quicksand.
• 8:26
  Is is the mixture of water and sand, but not enough to create
• 8:30
  mud. So it's like that separation.
• 8:32
  And you can't really die in quicksand, right?
• 8:35
  Like all the things that we were taught as a millennial where
• 8:37
  it's like quicksand's everywhere and you got to watch.
• 8:39
  Yeah, yeah. It turns out you'll just sink
• 8:41
  basically to your waist. It's a high salt concentration.
• 8:44
  And so like, you can't really. You can't.
• 8:46
  But is there a way to get out of it?
• 8:47
  That's. The problem, it's hardly you
• 8:49
  have to, you have to have somebody get out because you are
• 8:51
  you are stuck. So I didn't know that I was
• 8:53
  going to have to worry about quicksand, but.
• 8:56
  I still don't think you have to worry about you don't.
• 8:57
  Think so because. No, I wouldn't let it keep you
• 8:59
  up at night, sweetie. The fact that you'd barely go
• 9:01
  out into our own backyard because you don't like being
• 9:03
  outside so much. I'm not going to worry about you
• 9:06
  prancing and frolicking at a beach.
• 9:09
  That's not who you are. There were many other fears that
• 9:11
  we had as kids, like there was a quicksand.
• 9:14
  I'll be honest, I wasn't even worried about quicksand when I.
• 9:16
  Was you weren't worried about quicksand?
• 9:17
  No sinkholes. Now that's the thing that I
• 9:20
  would be like, that's scary because that happened all the
• 9:23
  time. Sinkholes are creepy.
• 9:25
  Yeah. Like they had one in Vancouver.
• 9:27
  Yeah. And so I have a Yeah, I agree, I
• 9:29
  have sinkholes. Yeah, it's like, OK, I'm more
• 9:31
  worried about that than I am quick sink and.
• 9:33
  That's why I don't want to move to Florida because I hear, like,
• 9:35
  they have the most sinkholes, all that water, because you're
• 9:37
  so close to the water and, like, there's nothing you can do.
• 9:40
  I've seen a couple videos on YouTube where you see, like, the
• 9:42
  sinkholes just appear in the street because they can just eat
• 9:45
  streets now. And there was like a building.
• 9:47
  They got eaten. Yeah.
• 9:48
  Sinkholes. Yeah.
• 9:49
  That's on my. I don't mess with with those.
• 9:51
  I feel like if I had to rank it, they're above earthquakes.
• 9:54
  Like I don't really care about it.
• 9:55
  Earthquakes, earthquake forever. But like sinkhole randomly
• 9:58
  appearing out of nowhere. Terrifying.
• 10:00
  Can we circle back to something that we just talked about that I
• 10:03
  would like to talk about a little bit more?
• 10:04
  Is it the soap thing? No.
• 10:06
  OK. It's the idea that you don't
• 10:07
  have to run anything by anybody. OK, OK, so to expand on that a
• 10:12
  little bit more, I have increased my caseload as a
• 10:16
  therapist. And so there's just, you know,
• 10:18
  I'm super busy now and so I'm not able to prep the show now
• 10:23
  behind the scenes. I essentially produced our
• 10:26
  morning show. I would find, I would say 90% of
• 10:29
  the topics and I would write them out and I would I would
• 10:33
  have them ready for Nick in the morning.
• 10:35
  And it's been very weird for me for you to take the lead on
• 10:39
  this. And it's been very like
• 10:41
  uncomfortable for me. And I've had to really kind of
• 10:44
  check that at the door because you showed me the logo for this
• 10:49
  podcast. I don't.
• 10:51
  I immediately didn't really like it.
• 10:52
  Yes. And I don't get to do I get to
• 10:55
  have a say anymore because you're the 1 putting it
• 10:58
  together. Yeah, like, you made some points
• 11:00
  about it, and I've been meaning to fix that.
• 11:02
  Yeah. But it's like, oh, it's low on
• 11:04
  my list. Like, for now, the list is to
• 11:06
  get the podcast out. The logo can change whenever it
• 11:08
  needs to. Like it.
• 11:09
  It's such a subtle thing that no one's even going to notice.
• 11:11
  No, I understand. That it changes, but it's like I
• 11:13
  had to stop and be like, why am I upset about this?
• 11:17
  And I think it's because I have been our producer for so many
• 11:20
  years. Yeah.
• 11:21
  And like, since the beginning of the show, I've been the one kind
• 11:24
  of laying the show out. Yeah.
• 11:26
  And so it's weird. And it's weird for me to kind of
• 11:28
  relinquish that control to you. And then I've kind of had to
• 11:32
  keep reminding myself that like, well, I am contributing to this
• 11:36
  household. You're busy.
• 11:37
  And like I am bringing in money and things like that and, and
• 11:41
  not a lot, but like I'm bringing in something that's alive and
• 11:43
  it's like I have to just let you have this.
• 11:47
  And that's been. Hard for me.
• 11:48
  You can't do both. And I, and trust me, it's been
• 11:50
  hard for me too. As I go down I go.
• 11:52
  Is this what we want to talk about?
• 11:54
  And I'm so used to you shooting down all my ideas.
• 11:58
  Oh please, I. No, but.
• 12:00
  That your ideas? No, like it'll just have a lot
• 12:03
  of stuff that it's weird that I want to talk about or like it
• 12:05
  just doesn't. Fit it just doesn't fit the
• 12:06
  radio station vibe. Exactly.
• 12:08
  It works in the podcast. It's.
• 12:09
  Fine. And so, yeah, I've been trying
• 12:11
  to find things that are interesting to talk about and
• 12:13
  like, I've been taking notes and I've been like, I came super
• 12:17
  prepared because usually I just show up and I read the stuff and
• 12:20
  I'll do like, I do all the other stuff.
• 12:21
  Yeah. Produce the show.
• 12:23
  I make it visually stunning and I make it sound and I make it
• 12:27
  sound you. Run the timing of the show and
• 12:29
  stuff. We had our.
• 12:30
  Technical director, you're the producer and, and so now doing
• 12:35
  it like being the person that comes up with the content, I've
• 12:38
  been trying to be super conscious about it and make it
• 12:40
  interesting and be prepared, which I never was prepared
• 12:43
  before, yeah. It's a it's a hard thing.
• 12:46
  It's weird, like I'm planning a couple days in advance and
• 12:48
  things like that. And I've got like, by the way,
• 12:50
  we have a phone number that you can call or text if you want.
• 12:53
  It is 971. Write this down while you're
• 12:55
  driving, 266-3606. Yeah.
• 12:57
  Whoa. What was that?
• 12:58
  I'll put it in the comments. So I don't want anybody writing
• 13:00
  anything down like it'll be in the the comments and and the
• 13:04
  descriptions. OK, so, but we have a number you
• 13:06
  can text, leave a voicemail, We'll play your voicemail on the
• 13:09
  show. It's like a real show.
• 13:10
  Well, I know that Kathy, one of our dear friends, commented
• 13:13
  under one of the podcasts and was like, I missed the
• 13:16
  interaction and you missed that too.
• 13:18
  So it's like this is a way that we can kind of interact.
• 13:21
  If you leave us a voicemail, we can play it.
• 13:23
  We can interact kind of that way.
• 13:24
  I know it's not the same, but yeah.
• 13:26
  And if you have something that you want to talk about that's
• 13:27
  interesting, then we'll we'll call ahead of time and record
• 13:30
  with you and then we can have that for the podcast.
• 13:31
  So we're navigating, Yes, yes, we're getting there.
• 13:35
  What? It's weird, Yeah.
• 13:36
  It's not in the director's chair anymore.
• 13:38
  I know so everything you can blame me for now, but thank you
• 13:41

• 13:43
