table of dim lighting, we are doing

1:47

what has become somewhat of a tradition,

1:49

and we are going through our top

1:52

purchases of the

1:54

year. See what we can learn about each

1:56

other from the things that we have chosen

1:58

to enhance our lives with. Okay And

2:02

I I look back there's a number of things

2:04

that I've mentioned throughout the year I was I

2:06

tried to bring some new things to the oh

2:08

you know everybody listens to every single episode Yeah,

2:11

yeah, you know it for those that do

2:13

I love you and

2:15

second of all I don't want to

2:18

bore you with the same story. What did he make it

2:20

even more interesting? What do you lie about it? Is it

2:22

supposed to be top purchases or it's just to me. It's

2:24

just purchases I Mean

2:27

I I included things that I thought you rank

2:29

yours. No, I didn't rank them. I included things

2:31

that I thought Might

2:34

be fun to talk about okay. Yeah, I kind of

2:36

did that and the

2:38

next episode is Definitely

2:40

my favorite recurring episode where we

2:43

talk about our top moments of

2:45

the year so be

2:47

ready for that I have

2:49

to break with

2:51

the theme of this episode and not talk about

2:53

a purchase at all first because there's something that

2:55

happened to me and Well,

2:57

maybe you could say it's something that I did Okay,

3:00

you can say it's something that I did to myself over

3:04

my Thanksgiving break that I have

3:06

not told you about and

3:08

you mean to tell me By

3:10

the fact that there's no twinkle in your eye right now

3:12

you pull a muscle that you have not heard Through

3:15

my wife to your wife that something

3:17

happened You

3:19

know it's trust me you would know I

3:21

hear so many things about things that I

3:23

know you do Things that

3:25

go wrong in your life that makes

3:28

its way to me via your wife to my

3:30

wife It could just all blend together when

3:32

you start talking about oh, yeah, I heard about I think

3:35

this one you running over the baby giraffe No,

3:37

dude, this one stands out. Okay, then maybe I

3:39

haven't heard about I think This

3:41

might be the dumbest thing you've ever done

3:44

No, but it might be one of

3:47

the most embarrassing things that I'm

3:49

deciding to share on the internet, okay

3:53

I'm not really that embarrassed by it, but I don't

3:55

know maybe I'll be there you should be I don't

3:57

even know what it is But you should be well

4:00

I was

4:02

like, it's just one of

4:04

those things where I just started thinking, well,

4:07

at least I can talk about it on the podcast. That

4:11

will redeem this. And it made me

4:13

feel better knowing that I

4:15

was going to share it with

4:17

you. I'll be the judge of that. So,

4:22

for Thanksgiving, we just spent a couple

4:25

of days back in North Carolina. Me,

4:27

Christy, and Lando flew back. Of course,

4:29

the older kids off at college, they

4:31

weren't able to leave

4:34

when we left. Because it wasn't even really

4:36

Thanksgiving. It was the weekend before, and then

4:38

we wanted to be back by proper

4:41

Thanksgiving so that Lily

4:43

and Lincoln could come back into town

4:46

and we could have a Thanksgiving at the

4:48

house. Now that the

4:51

majority of our kids are out of the house, it

4:54

definitely feels different. And

4:57

it definitely feels different

4:59

than just having one out of the house.

5:02

When they come back home for Thanksgiving, I'm

5:04

actually starting to experience something

5:06

that didn't happen with just Lily. And I don't

5:08

even remember how Thanksgiving worked the previous

5:10

year. I think we all came

5:12

to North Carolina. But anyway... You burned the ham. No,

5:16

that was two years ago. Last

5:18

year was the first year. You

5:20

warmed the ham. I got the honey baked ham. I

5:23

got that again this year. It's

5:25

pricey, but it's worth it. So

5:29

yeah, it definitely feels different to have

5:32

the kids come back home and

5:34

you're experiencing Thanksgiving in that

5:37

way. So we had a good time. But when I

5:39

was in North Carolina, because we didn't have the older

5:41

kids with us, we

5:44

were able to stay at my mom's house again,

5:46

which is something that we used to do. But

5:50

in the last few years, the

5:52

kids are getting older. They're getting bigger. Bigger

5:55

beds. Bigger rooms. Need

5:58

for more space. stay at

6:00

an Airbnb and then we visit my mom a lot.

6:02

They can't get in the race car beds anymore. Right,

6:04

all the other, well the blow up

6:06

mattresses, all three lined up in

6:08

the living room floor. But

6:14

we were excited to do that again now

6:16

that it was just Lando's, so it was like a blast

6:18

from the past. So we're staying three

6:20

nights at mom's house and

6:24

the back, so Lando sleeps

6:26

in the living room on the blow up mattress

6:28

and Christy and I sleep back on the double

6:30

bed in the

6:33

back of the hall there, across

6:35

the hallway from mom's bedroom. And

6:39

so we're trying to get used to sleeping in a double

6:42

bed again, even though that's what we did for the majority

6:44

of our marriage. And

6:46

you're trying to guess what happened. Yeah

6:50

and I hope what I just thought

6:52

of didn't happen. So I'll just log it. Yeah,

6:55

log it and tell me later when it's not

6:57

it, what you think it is. I

7:00

certainly hope it is what happened though. What's

7:06

the best way to say this? I

7:08

think I just need to come out and say it. I

7:12

went to bed. Okay,

7:17

that wasn't what I was thinking. I

7:20

peed myself in

7:23

the bed. Okay. Like, and I'm

7:25

not talking about a trickle. You

7:27

went for it. I'm talking about. Full empty.

7:31

Well, this is what happened. I

7:33

can't laugh at you too much because I was a bed wetter.

7:36

I was not a bed wetter as a kid.

7:40

Let me tell you what happened. Okay, okay. I

7:44

just remember, you know,

7:46

with the time change and everything. Yeah,

7:48

that was it. I remember. I

7:54

remember that I was asleep. And

7:56

then all of a sudden it was the, it was. It's

8:00

gonna be light outside because Christy woke

8:02

me up getting out of bed Presumably

8:05

to go pee and at that

8:07

point I remember thinking to myself Man,

8:11

I really have to pee as well Oh,

8:13

so you what you remember you were awake

8:15

at one point. I was awake enough to

8:17

think that I really need to pee as

8:19

well but I Also,

8:22

I really want to sleep some more so I went

8:24

back to sleep little combination by the time Christy got

8:26

back in the bed I don't remember. She didn't wake

8:28

me up when she got back in the bed. I

8:30

don't remember any of that and

8:34

time passed it

8:37

wasn't like immediate or anything time passed because

8:39

Christy was Totally

8:41

asleep and it takes her a while to get back

8:43

to sleep Next

8:45

thing I know I'm

8:49

just it's it's warm and

8:51

wet down there. I'm

8:53

laying on my back and did

8:55

you catch yourself and I Yeah,

8:59

it was like warm and wet all over

9:01

my crotch, which is the source

9:03

of yeah, that's usually how it works. Pee and I

9:08

wake up just a little bit and

9:10

I like my

9:12

hand was up my hand was here on my like

9:14

belt line and My

9:16

hand was wet and I like I

9:19

threw the covers off of one hand and

9:21

I think I think I pinched the hose

9:23

with The other I think

9:25

I grabbed the hose because it was still going it was

9:27

still going right? That's usually how it happens it was still

9:29

going and I like

9:32

throw the covers off and I like

9:34

run to the bathroom and I'm talking

9:36

about a lot of

9:38

pee like Running down my

9:41

legs pee both legs like

9:44

like I might need to drag a mop

9:46

down the hallway level of

9:48

pee and I get I go in

9:51

the bathroom and then I like I sit

9:54

I sat down on the toilet because I

9:56

was just too discombobulated to stand and Yeah,

10:00

there was a lot more of the

10:02

package to be delivered. So

10:05

yeah, I did cut off the

10:07

flow, but not before I completely

10:12

wet myself. And the

10:14

sheet. Yeah, the bed too. How

10:17

much got on the bed? There

10:19

was this, it spilled over my hip into

10:23

a puddle, yeah. You knew that this wasn't something

10:25

you could get away with without talking to someone

10:27

about it. Right. Well, and then

10:29

I'm like, I'm so freaking soaked. I just

10:31

immediately get in the shower. And

10:33

then Christy's like, yeah, I heard this.

10:36

I like woke up, it was early and like,

10:39

I heard the shower. But

10:41

when I came back in the room, she was still asleep. I

10:44

was like, well, I'm not. Hold on, so you wet it when she was next

10:46

to you? Yeah. Oh, I thought,

10:48

okay, she went to the bathroom and then that got

10:50

you thinking about pee. She got back in the bed,

10:52

went back to sleep. I went back to sleep. Did

10:55

it leak to her side? Did she come in contact

10:57

with you? No, it was on my left side. No,

10:59

it's not long enough, yeah. Not long

11:01

enough, yeah. And I was,

11:05

I was, What if that's how it

11:07

works? I was quite embarrassed at

11:09

the time. Yeah, my standard. And

11:11

then I'm like sleeping

11:13

on the couch for a little bit. But

11:16

I was like, yeah, Christy, I wet the

11:18

bed. And she was like, you

11:21

peed the bed or something else? And

11:23

I was like, oh, no,

11:26

it was definitely pee. I definitely

11:28

know the difference. I mean, with a

11:30

puddle that big, well, that's, I

11:34

mean, I would have a different career

11:36

trajectory, I think. If

11:40

it wasn't pee and the puddle was that big, is

11:42

all I'm saying. Money shot. Did you,

11:44

you were, obviously you were a

11:46

little embarrassed. We'll talk about that. Yeah, I- But

11:48

were you also- I

11:51

was embarrassed to tell my mommy. Mommy- Were you

11:53

concerned about like, is something wrong with me? Mommy,

11:55

I peed- Because I've wet

11:57

the bed once. We can talk about, I don't

11:59

remember the details. But I

12:01

I wet the bed once as an adult You

12:04

have? Yeah, I Have

12:07

never wet the bed as an adult It

12:10

was never a challenge for me

12:12

as a kid so there was no like throwback

12:14

or anything But let me tell

12:16

you the next three mornings. I Was

12:20

really nervous like it the

12:23

moment I woke up I was like, oh do I need to

12:25

pee I do need to pee I better get up and

12:27

Chris even even the second morning Like when

12:30

I started to stir a little bit Christy

12:32

Christy rolls over wide awake. She's like Do

12:36

you need to pee? Yeah, you might need to go to

12:38

the bathroom. Did you already pee yourself? We

12:40

were a little Nervous

12:43

about it. Yeah, I was like you probably

12:45

not gonna happen. Is this some sort of

12:47

a prostate thing? I don't know. I'm 45.

12:49

Does it mean something? Does it mean something

12:52

emotionally? Oh, no, I thought

12:54

physically Yeah, like me getting

12:56

old but but emotionally yeah But

12:59

they say as a bed wetter, I

13:01

should know this like I

13:05

wet the bed I Don't

13:07

know I don't know how

13:09

old I was but like Beyond when you were

13:11

supposed to be like to be classified as a

13:13

bed wetter Like I remember wetting the bed right

13:16

now still as a kid though. I

13:18

yeah I mean I wasn't like in my

13:20

teenage years It was like, you know like

13:22

six seven years old eight years old Maybe

13:25

you wet the bed occasionally and it was

13:27

like embarrassing and they say

13:29

that it means something You know

13:31

I'm saying not physically like there's something Psychological

13:35

and I'm not going down that path.

13:37

No, right. So I

13:39

overcame it and Then what I

13:42

have experienced as and I think this is you

13:44

tell me if this is a common experience Sometimes

13:48

you have to pee so bad while you're sleeping that

13:50

you dream about peeing Does

13:52

that happen to you? I? don't

13:54

remember if I was having a

13:56

dream but I Know has

13:59

that ever happened? It has not happened to

14:01

me, but I have to think that's

14:03

what was happening and I just don't

14:05

remember the dream. That like, I was...

14:07

For me to completely release my bladder

14:09

on myself, I had

14:11

to be dreaming that I was peeing. Because it

14:13

was the last thing I thought as I was

14:16

falling back asleep. Was I do

14:18

need to pee. Right. Well... And I

14:20

was like, I'm not gonna think about it beyond this. I'm

14:22

not gonna make this into a thing. You didn't

14:24

go on Reddit? Besides the story. You didn't go on Reddit? I did not.

14:27

You go on Reddit for everything. I'm not

14:29

going on Reddit and be like, adult bedwetting

14:31

one time. Just... No, no. Here's

14:34

what I thought. There might be a

14:36

whole sub-Reddit. If it happens twice more,

14:39

maybe once more, but I said to myself,

14:41

if this happens twice more, then

14:45

I'll start searching about it. But I

14:47

am not. It probably won't. I am not going down

14:49

that path after wetting one little bed. It was a

14:51

new bed. You know, I feel like it was a

14:53

new bed. It was a new bed. I did it

14:56

in my own bed. How old were you? Were

14:58

you married? Oh, this was in the past 10 years. Oh,

15:01

really? Okay, so let

15:03

me go back. So I would do it as a

15:05

kid. Super embarrassing. Like, it

15:07

was like, you know, I think

15:10

at one point we got like a... You have

15:12

to tell your parents. Like a mattress cover or

15:14

something, you know. Like, it was like, it happened

15:16

occasionally. It happened often enough

15:19

that we had to like take precautions. And this is embarrassing.

15:21

You don't want to be known as a bedwetter. Yeah.

15:24

And then of course I overcome it and I don't think

15:26

about it ever again. But throughout

15:28

my life, I've

15:31

had what I thought was a common experience, which is

15:33

like, if you have to pee and you're

15:35

still in bed and you're dreaming, a lot of times

15:37

you'll have dreams about having to

15:39

pee. Like, you'll have to pee in your

15:42

dream. Makes sense. And what I have found

15:44

is that it

15:47

is not uncommon if I'm having a dream where

15:49

I have to urinate. I

15:51

will urinate in my dream

15:55

and then wake up and realize that I

15:57

haven't urinated. I just really needed to. And

15:59

so... Sometimes you're like, literally

16:01

in a dream, you'll find a

16:04

urinal, or I will. I don't

16:06

know about you. And you'll empty it

16:08

and you'll be like, man, I'm there for

16:10

a while. And then you'll go on your

16:12

dream and then you're like, shit, I still got a

16:14

urinate. Cause you haven't actually, your bladder is feeling the

16:16

pressure. So you go dream going to multiple urinals? Yeah,

16:19

sometimes, three, four, maybe. Yeah,

16:22

yeah, yeah. That is strange, dude. That is

16:25

strange. And I don't, well, I don't think

16:27

it is strange. What I'm saying

16:29

is that I venture to guess that

16:31

this is a common experience for people having to

16:33

pee. This is what you need to call in

16:35

about. 1-888-EER-POD-1. It's

16:41

the number one. However, we want

16:43

you to, I need to know

16:45

if you peed yourself in

16:48

a bed as an adult. I

16:51

need to know that Rhett made me feel

16:53

better, but I need you to make me

16:55

feel better by telling me you do it, or

16:57

that you've done it. You're

17:00

probably not gonna. Jamie, you care to weigh in

17:02

on this? It's uncommon. I have stories.

17:06

But that could be for another day. No,

17:09

no, no. If we get enough, if we get enough, No, I

17:11

wanna know. We can talk about it and make it a whole

17:13

episode. Yeah,

17:15

there we go. Well, there we go. Okay, well that

17:17

feels good. Because this episode is not about urinate and

17:19

stories. We got other things to talk about. We've been

17:22

through things. Yeah, I've been through things. I

17:24

have not, but I have had the dreams

17:26

of having, and then waking up being like, oh, I

17:28

need to pee, but in my dream, I'm trying

17:31

to find a bathroom. Okay, good. So I've had that.

17:33

I'm not crazy. So peeing in

17:35

your dream, but not peeing in reality, that's a,

17:37

that is a, I

17:40

mean, that's like a, that's a powerful dichotomy. The

17:43

scary thing is, is the time. Because

17:46

every time that happens, and then I wake up, and

17:48

the thing that was the impetus to wake me up

17:50

was the fact that I had to pee so bad,

17:52

and I was peeing in my dream, I

17:55

have these flashbacks to being a little

17:57

kid and I'm like, oh shit, did I do it? Did

17:59

I pee in my bed? And it never happens

18:01

except one time. When

18:03

I started peeing in my dream and

18:05

then I woke up

18:08

with the sensation of warmth spreading.

18:12

And I immediately caught myself and stopped. But,

18:16

and I- Did you pinch the hose? It

18:18

didn't, I didn't have

18:21

enough that it leaked over my

18:23

shorts and down into the bed. It didn't

18:26

wet the mattress, it wet my underwear. And

18:28

I was like, what the hell? Like, and

18:30

then I was like, hold on, maybe this was a weird

18:33

wet dream. Like I was trying to find any

18:35

other explanation other than, oh shit, I've wet the

18:37

bed again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

18:39

I think I went,

18:42

I like took my underwear off and

18:46

peed and then went back to bed and kind of

18:48

forgot about it until you just brought this story up.

18:50

Cause you never told me. I

18:53

mean the moment I've, the first opportunity

18:55

I've had to do it for public consumption, I

18:57

told you about it. But I was worried that

18:59

it might mean that something had happened to me

19:01

like psychologically. Oh.

19:04

Now I wasn't thinking it was a

19:07

physical problem. But

19:09

it hasn't happened again and it's been years. But

19:12

you are afraid of it. So you're pro- Now

19:15

I'm afraid nobody wants to pee the bed. I'm afraid

19:17

of it now. They should be. And as

19:19

we get older, we're gonna be, you know, they say you get

19:21

up and pee in the middle of the night. Yeah, I haven't,

19:23

I'm 46 and that, and

19:25

somebody who hydrates a lot, I'm surprised that you don't have to do

19:27

that. I don't have to do that yet. I

19:30

did however, just last night, 3 a.m. You

19:34

hear when Sean hits the floor. Yeah.

19:37

Is when he's ready and he got

19:39

his timing off or something. So I had to take him out to

19:41

pee and poop in the middle of the night. And while I was

19:43

up, I peed. And I was like, wow,

19:45

this is a lot of pee. I was like, I

19:47

guess I was gonna make it until six o'clock with all this pee. And

19:50

I would have any other night. You thought

19:52

about it though. You got a little scared. What

19:54

is the thing that you thought I was gonna

19:57

say before we move on to your breakfast? I

19:59

thought that you. you got in the

20:01

bed with your mom thinking it was your wife. Ah!

20:03

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

20:05

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Like,

20:07

cause you, cause you, cause the way you set it up was like, I

20:12

want you to call me and tell me

20:15

if you have gotten in the bed with your mom,

20:17

and that's why I started laughing at it. Thinking it

20:19

was your wife. Because it was like, if you have

20:21

done that, you need to call us too. Middle of

20:23

the night, double bed, like it's

20:26

not your home. You hang a right and hang a left. You hang

20:28

a left and right, yeah. That's what I thought you were going to

20:30

say. And you got in and didn't realize until the morning. The morning

20:33

when you were peeing yourself. When you woke

20:35

your mom up peeing on her. Mommy!

20:38

I know. What did

20:41

your mom think about, what did Sue say about this? When

20:44

you said, did you tell you peep yourself? I

20:46

did. Okay. I

20:49

did. She was very non-judgmental. She was,

20:51

she's the perfect mom that she always

20:53

is. She was like, well

20:56

do you want sausage and eggs?

20:58

Or do you- What can make it

21:00

better? Do you want grits? Do

21:02

you want grits? Do you want to sell some grits in there next

21:04

time? Do you want some grits? Do you want to stop it up?

21:06

I think that was literally her response. Do you want some grits? Okay,

21:08

so she wasn't worried. Christy wasn't

21:11

worried. But Lando wanted, I mean when

21:13

we come back home, I told

21:15

Lando, he's telling, I mean like, Lincoln

21:18

comes home, walks in the door. Dad!

21:24

Tell Lincoln what you did. You got him a thing. Then

21:26

Lily comes in. Hey

21:30

Lily, I'll die what he did. I'll die what

21:32

he did. I was like, this

21:35

is my story to tell on my terms. Well,

21:39

I think it's also your kid's story. No,

21:42

it's not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When your dad pees

21:44

himself, you get to tell that story. Like you

21:46

write that in your memoir. Trust me. All

21:50

the embarrassing stuff that you've done. Well,

21:52

all the stories that I've told that lead

21:54

to potentially include them, they definitely have the

21:56

right to tell any story they want about

21:58

me and I'm okay with it. Well, I wouldn't

22:00

worry too much. I've done it once, you've done it once as

22:02

an adult. Yeah, but Jenna's, I

22:04

think, done it a lot. So I think we're

22:06

waiting on your calls to

22:10

bring Jenna out of

22:12

hiding. Now, Jenna, not to

22:15

make any assumptions, but I don't know if being

22:17

in an altered state qualifies

22:20

as a real experience. Oh, okay, okay.

22:23

We're just talking

22:25

about two completely

22:28

sober men pissing

22:31

themselves in bed. Then I have

22:33

never done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

22:35

yeah, it's a different thing, you know? I

22:38

have illness stories that are worse, but that's

22:40

different. Also, altered state. Let's

22:43

get to talking about top

22:46

purchases of 2023, but

22:48

you know what? We would like to maybe

22:50

inform some of your potential top

22:53

purchases that can still be made in 2023. Do

22:55

you like that transition? You're talking about mythical.com. As

22:58

you know, we've been doing the pin of the month every

23:00

single month this year. You know, we

23:03

sell out for 24 hours this

23:05

year's, or this month's pin

23:07

is my face as a Christmas face, if

23:09

you remember that song that we did a while back. Yeah,

23:12

your beard became a Christmas tree. And not

23:14

everyone has been able to keep up with

23:16

getting the pin of the month. And so

23:18

what we're doing is for that same 24

23:21

hours, we're releasing

23:23

every pin that we have sold for 2023, all

23:26

12 of them, that you can

23:28

get so you can make up for any of

23:30

the pin gaps that you want to fill. That's

is supported by Thrive Market. Whenever I go

24:48

to the grocery store and I'm like trying

24:50

to get something, and then I'm looking at

24:52

the different prices for the different

24:54

types of the same thing, I

24:58

get overwhelmed, man. And I still

25:01

don't know if I'm getting the best price

25:03

or the best thing. That's where

25:05

Thrive Market. Well, it sounds like you need Thrive Market, Link. It

25:08

organic grocery and household essentials, and the convenience

26:33

You didn't rank your purchases. I didn't rank them but

26:35

I mean they're in, you know, they're

26:38

in an order that I thought might help

26:40

with interest. Okay. Starting with

26:42

low interest. Yeah,

26:46

I mean.

26:48

I purchased a

26:51

chainmail scrubber. Chainmail

26:54

as in like what a knight in

26:56

medieval times would wear as underwear? Yeah.

26:58

Or whatever.

27:00

Protection, yeah. So if

27:02

you have... Chainmail. So

27:05

I've really been cooking a lot with the cast-iron

27:08

skillet, right? And

27:12

almost exclusively, if I'm gonna cook something on the

27:14

stove, I'm using the cast-iron skillet. I've got a

27:16

big one and I've got a smaller one. And

27:18

you're dressed as a knight. And

27:21

as you know, you're

27:23

not supposed to wash, I mean it's

27:25

actually a little bit, it's not technically

27:27

true, but you don't wash a cast-iron

27:30

skillet in the same way that you

27:32

wash a nonstick pan or a stainless

27:34

steel pan, right? You season it. So

27:36

it's got this seasoning on it, which

27:38

is a misnomer a bit because it

27:41

really is just like

27:43

a layer of polymers from there being fat

27:45

in the pan and then it getting to

27:47

a certain temperature and it basically creates a

27:50

nonstick surface. But then you have to really

27:52

care. It does impact the taste in a

27:54

positive way. I

27:56

believe that's a little bit overrated, but

27:59

yes it is. because actually what you're trying

28:01

to do is, I

28:03

always thought that it was like, oh, you want the

28:05

taste of everything that you've cooked in this pan to

28:08

be in there, like seasoning. And maybe that's where the

28:10

word comes from. I don't know, I don't know. Josh

28:12

could probably tell me this. But

28:14

really what you're trying to do is you're

28:16

trying to create a nonstick surface. Not a

28:19

surface that makes everything taste a certain way.

28:21

It's a nonstick surface. But

28:24

you do wanna clean it. In fact,

28:26

you wanna get the other food out of there.

28:29

And so most of the time, if you've got a

28:31

really good nonstick surface, like what I do is I

28:33

finish cooking and then I immediately just put it under

28:35

water. And most

28:37

of the time, everything that was in that pan,

28:39

because I've got a well-seasoned pan, it

28:41

kind of just washes right off and then I put some

28:44

oil on it, heat it up, and you know, it's just,

28:46

and kind of keep it going. But

28:48

if you get something in your pan that

28:50

doesn't come out when you just spray water

28:52

on it, there's this chainmail

28:55

that is wrapped around rubber in a

28:57

circle that you just keep right there

28:59

in a little holster inside your sink

29:01

and you just rub it. You

29:04

just rub it. So it doesn't

29:06

clean chainmail, it's chainmail that cleans.

29:08

It's chainmail that cleans, that gets

29:10

all the little bits off without

29:12

compromising your nonstick

29:15

layer. Oh. It's been

29:17

a game changer for me because what I was doing

29:19

is I was putting coarse salt into, a lot of

29:21

people do this. Yeah, yeah, I do it. Coarse salt

29:23

in there and moving it around and stuff. And I

29:26

still do that. The salt absorbs

29:28

the blackness and then you rake it into the.

29:31

It's an abrasive, you know, but

29:33

I think that this works better. Personally, it's easier. You

29:35

don't have to do the salt and then get a.

29:39

And because the chainmail, it's like loops, it

29:42

doesn't scratch. Doesn't scratch. Chainmail

29:45

scrubber. How much do you pay for

29:47

that, Russley? Unfortunately, I

29:49

did not put the price down and it's no

29:52

longer applicable, remember? I mean, we're talking less than

29:54

10 bucks. I mean, this is not an expensive

29:56

item. Okay. Get one if you've got cast iron.

30:01

The first purchase item I want to talk about

30:03

is the Pecuti

30:07

Just it's the word cute with the letters P and

30:09

E in front of it Pecuti

30:13

dog basket for

30:15

bike Okay, and

30:19

I throw this in the Amazon cart

30:23

and We have a family

30:25

threat. It's called Sam You

30:27

know again now that majority of our kids are

30:29

out of the house. We've we've started this family

30:31

thread and We've got

30:33

decent at putting stuff in there, you

30:36

know, just kind of you know, and then

30:38

you can Evaluate

30:41

if everybody doesn't respond in some way Then

30:44

it's like alright, then you start to keep a record and then

30:46

some what do I need to give so-and-so a call? What's

30:49

going on? Yeah, you know family

30:52

throws like a nice innocuous way to

30:54

like Just keep keep in

30:56

touch. You were like one of the first Generations,

30:59

if not the first generation to

31:01

have a family text thread for your immediate

31:04

family and but isn't that because of what

31:06

we didn't Guard the kids our parents didn't

31:08

have that. Well, the fact that we call

31:10

it a text thread. I've been told by

31:12

my kids Severely

31:14

dates us it is a group chat But

31:17

I cannot not call it a text thread

31:19

group chat group chat is what it's actually

31:21

called Like they gave me so

31:23

much shit about that and I cannot stop saying it

31:25

but text. It's a text thread to us But

31:28

it's a group chat. It's a group chat anyway

31:34

In the group chat, I don't know if it was

31:36

I think it was Lincoln first because He'll

31:38

go he'll he'll order some stuff using his

31:40

mama's Amazon account You know what I'm saying?

31:43

Yeah, and now every time I order stuff

31:45

I have to I Really

31:48

have to note that shipping address. Yep. Oh

31:50

this I'm about to ship my Pecuity

31:53

dog basket for bike to Lincoln's

31:55

dorm room. Yeah, I don't want

31:58

that. I don't want that because the dog the dog

32:00

ain't there. But he goes in there and

32:02

so he put in the text there and he was like,

32:06

I think it was him, it could have been Lily. Dad,

32:09

what are you doing? And I was

32:11

like, what? He was like,

32:15

there's a dog basket

32:17

for a bike in

32:19

the Amazon cart. He's like, he's like

32:21

keeping tabs on me through

32:24

the Amazon cart. And then

32:27

like Lily was

32:29

like, what? Hold on.

32:32

Is there what's going

32:34

on here? They started to become concerned

32:36

for whatever dogs or

32:38

dogs I was going to be presumably

32:41

biking around. You don't have a great track

32:44

record. Yeah, it was a year. In

32:46

fact, in fact, it was a year ago that I brought

32:48

my collar going on my mountain bike and all I have

32:50

is a mountain bike. I don't own it hurt your wrist,

32:52

but that wasn't on the bike. That was the one wheel.

32:54

Yeah, but I, you know, I don't have a beach cruiser.

32:56

They know that the only bike that I have is a

32:58

full suspension mountain bike. And

33:00

then I'm like, yeah, I'm

33:02

about to add a dog helmet to

33:06

the Amazon cart. Don't worry. Hold on. Is that

33:08

a real thing? No, I was joking. Oh. And

33:12

yeah, so this thing shows up and it

33:14

could be though. You mount it on the

33:16

front of the handlebars. So

33:20

it's like, and then you put a dog

33:22

in it and you can like, I'm familiar with a

33:24

bike basket. You've seen a... I've seen

33:27

Mary Poppins or what? Tell the music.

33:30

I think you're talking about Wizard of Bocks. I

33:33

don't know. I've seen a woman with

33:35

a black basket in a classic film. I think

33:37

that... And I've also just like been to Venice

33:39

Beach. Where you could come to my house. Yeah,

33:42

yeah. So yeah, I put

33:44

this, I got a bike basket because Jasper,

33:49

every morning, he's like,

33:53

he's so eager when he hops out of

33:55

bed or like the moment I stir,

33:57

he's like, oh, hold on. Oh my god,

33:59

oh my god, it's time to walk. Oh,

34:02

it's another day when I get to take

34:04

a walk. Oh, I'm gonna walk right now

34:06

Oh my god, he just moved. That means

34:09

he's gonna walk. That's

34:12

how he is. So

34:15

every morning, it's for a

34:17

year now, I've gotten in the habit of

34:19

taking, I used to just take him for

34:21

a walk. And I was like Jade, you need to start taking a

34:23

walk. And Jade's She's

34:26

gotten bigger, she's gotten buff as

34:29

a result of me walking her every morning. Okay,

34:33

I question this but I haven't seen her so I don't

34:35

know. When the kids came home for

34:38

Thanksgiving, they were like, what? Why is Jade's? She's

34:40

like, her chest has gotten more developed. Her

34:43

chest is more buff. She's doing

34:45

something else. She's doing work She's working out all the time. I

34:47

don't know and I was like, do you think something's wrong

34:50

with her? I think walking trims you. Does it both mean

34:52

you can't? I don't

34:54

think it bulks you up. Maybe in her

34:56

older age. Did you change her diet? No,

34:59

did not change her diet. In her older age, I

35:02

think she's kind of getting fluffier

35:04

in her like, her upper torso.

35:07

But I also like to think that she's in better shape

35:10

because I've been walking her every day. Well, she probably is.

35:13

But you know who's not in better shape? You.

35:15

Because Jasper guilts me

35:17

into walking him every

35:20

single morning. And I used

35:22

to go, there were stretches before I broke

35:24

my collarbone that I would go biking. At

35:27

least every other morning. Maybe every morning. So

35:30

I was like, I What

35:32

am I gonna do? I Got

35:35

to start, I gotta get back on my bike.

35:37

I gotta, I gotta do some form of workout

35:39

beyond just walking these dogs. Well,

35:42

how fast do you walk? Every morning. I don't even walk that fast.

35:44

I mean, if you just pick up the pace a little bit, he

35:46

probably will like it and then you basically get a good workout in.

35:48

Well, but Jay can't keep up. Ankle

35:50

weights. Ankle weights? Yeah,

35:53

and arm weights. Okay. Speed

35:57

walk it. That's not, that's

36:00

Well, this was that was not my idea. I'm just trying

36:02

to solve problems here. Okay, my idea

36:04

was Well, if I want

36:06

to go biking and I don't

36:08

want to feel guilty for leaving Jasper home because he will

36:10

make me feel guilty The moment

36:12

I come back from biking, he'll he's just sitting

36:15

there just like We

36:18

didn't walk We didn't

36:20

walk you left. You must have

36:22

walked without me. Yeah. Well, why couldn't I walked with

36:24

you? I can smell it on you. Why couldn't I?

36:26

I can smell the water on you. You

36:29

won't plant me, you know, and it's and I

36:31

feel horrible Yeah, you should. So I'm like

36:34

I'm going to have my cake and eat it, too I'm

36:37

gonna ride my bike and I'm gonna and my dog is

36:39

gonna go with me But is that good enough for

36:41

him? Is that what he wants or did

36:43

he want to actually walk? He's

36:45

got the FOMO. I thought maybe that would do it So I put

36:47

him I got the thing and I like

36:50

I strapped it on there and you know I put

36:52

him in it and I'm walking I'm driving around the

36:54

cul-de-sac and he's like you leash him

36:56

in so they can't jump out Cuz

36:59

he seemed like he might want to jump out, but he wasn't

37:01

scared. So then I got up the next

37:03

morning. I Drove

37:06

to the place where I mountain bike more

37:08

of a flatter place but still

37:11

with some single track. Okay,

37:13

and Once

37:15

I got to a place where I didn't think

37:17

there was anybody else My

37:19

plan was to let him out of the basket so

37:21

like he's in the basket and we're riding like Dorothy

37:23

and Toto and then we get

37:25

to the the single track and I

37:29

take him out of the basket I was putting down beside me and

37:31

I just start riding my mountain bike and then now

37:34

I'm that cool guy Who mountain

37:36

bikes with this dog chasing it?

37:39

Hey, this is great. Not really

37:42

how did that go? because I

37:44

started meeting people who were jogging on

37:46

this path and Or

37:49

riding bikes on the path and I

37:52

would get out of the way on my bike and then I

37:54

look behind me and Jess were would just like He

37:56

would not move. Yeah, right. He

37:59

didn't knew no trail I'm

38:01

like apologizing for my dog and like then

38:04

all these other bikers are like, oh good

38:07

You know and then it's like somebody had another dog on a

38:09

leash and I got a dog and he's not on a leash

38:12

and like I'm Irresponsible. So then

38:14

when I got through that part, I'm like, ah, you

38:16

got to stay in the basket you're still having fun

38:18

having a bonding time and I

38:20

wrote him around We

38:25

got back home I didn't feel guilty I But

38:28

I started looking on reddit. I Follow

38:31

mountain biking thread and the thing I've never

38:33

noticed until this point was people

38:36

occasionally will post videos in themselves like

38:39

doing jumps or like doing all types

38:41

of stuff for people to Analyze them

38:43

and sometimes they'll have their dogs chasing

38:45

them and every time the comments are

38:47

just full of people Criticizing

38:51

the fact that you're doing this

38:53

Yeah, and I started reading it

38:56

and there's a lot of compelling reasons like

38:58

like More

39:00

than I can count on everyone's sake your dogs

39:03

and for everyone's sake it's not just not it's

39:05

not it's not only an inconsiderate Idea,

39:09

but it's not a good idea It's

39:11

not a safe idea. So you're gonna go basket

39:13

only next time I'm

39:17

saying he's only gonna be in the basket. No

39:20

You're saying you're not gonna do it at all No,

39:22

because I'm I can't do anything worth doing with him

39:25

in the basket because then what if I fall again

39:27

What I couldn't live with myself if

39:29

I broke my collar on and his So

39:31

are you gonna do with the basket? It also is

39:33

a backpack So maybe if

39:36

I hike with him and Jay gets tired, I'll put

39:38

him in there, but it's kind of like a loss

39:40

Okay, well, you know what? I was just I'm

39:43

trying I'm trying so hard And

39:45

apparently my kids knew it from the moment. They

39:47

saw it in the Amazon cart that Whatever

39:50

plan you have dad Run

39:53

it by us next time. That's why I have a

39:55

different account. Just I listen I

39:57

pay a little bit extra I need to that

40:00

accountability. To have my own Amazon Prime. Because

40:03

sometimes you might want to buy something that you

40:05

don't want the kids to know about, you know?

40:07

And I'm not just talking about a surprise for

40:09

them. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all

40:11

right. I mean, what do you do

40:13

when you want to do that? I

40:16

like to go in person. No,

40:19

I don't buy it through Amazon. Yeah,

40:22

I don't, yeah. You talking about dildos? That's

40:28

cool, man. That's

40:32

cool. You probably... I know all my kids know about

40:34

dildos that I buy. I'm

40:37

sitting in my son's dorm room. Yeah,

40:39

right, yeah. Exactly. I can't happen with

40:41

my system. Oh,

40:45

God. I'll cover two... I'm assuming

40:47

I've got more things than you. Yeah, I don't

40:49

really have much else. I have some things that

40:51

I'm not much else. I just want to... I

40:53

talked about this, but I don't think I said

40:55

exactly what it was. The Dr.

40:59

Scholl's Go Sockless Cushioning Insoles. The

41:02

Terry cloth insoles. I can't recommend

41:04

those enough. You got... Now the weather's a little bit

41:06

too cold. I'm not loafing it, but I can't wait

41:08

for the weather to warm up again next year. Is

41:10

it Terry cloth? Am I right about that? Yeah, but

41:13

I don't think it has to be. It's like a

41:15

wash rag in your loafer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So

41:18

I want to hit that again. Hit

41:20

that again. The

41:23

other thing that

41:25

was a pretty significant purchase for me is...

41:30

You may remember on GMM...

41:34

I don't know if it was... Oh, it was

41:36

that... Maybe it was a moor where we had all

41:38

those squishy toys,

41:41

right? I never thought of myself as

41:43

much of a squishy guy. And

41:46

until we got

41:49

that freaking piece of bread, that

41:52

squishy piece of bread... Is it the same one? There

41:54

was a lemon with the eyeball? I

41:57

don't know if it was the same episode or not. I don't

41:59

know about the bread. I think it was actually

42:01

maybe it was earlier. We

42:03

were like, let's try these different squishies. And

42:07

it was a slice of bread. It was a slice of bread.

42:09

Like if you just saw it on the ground, you'd be like,

42:11

oh, somebody left bread on the ground until

42:13

you picked it up and tried to eat it. And then you

42:15

died from choking on latex.

42:19

And I brought it with us.

42:22

First of all, I just found myself wanting to touch it.

42:24

Now I'm a guy who likes to touch rocks. Okay?

42:28

What? I like smooth rocks. So I do

42:30

have a little bit of a texture thing. You know,

42:32

there are people who like to touch things. You like

42:34

to touch smooth rocks. And so I like a good

42:36

smooth rock. I got some smooth rocks in my office

42:38

and a little wooden bowl. And sometimes I'll just take

42:40

it and I'll just hold it. And

42:42

it and something about the texture is comforting,

42:44

right? I've never, I didn't know this about

42:46

you. I've never seen you do that. Yeah,

42:49

you're too busy wetting a bed. Don't

42:52

you? Uh-uh. This

42:54

is not a runner. This is not

42:56

the thing we keep bringing

42:58

back up again. Yeah, I don't do it

43:00

often, but I do have it. So, but

43:04

something about the squishy nature of this thing.

43:06

I just felt myself wanting

43:08

to touch it, wanting to stretch it. Yeah. And

43:11

then we had a weekend with friends. Right.

43:15

And I don't know, at some point- When we went to

43:17

Big Sur. We went to Big Sur. We

43:19

had cabins. And I let everyone touch my

43:22

bread. And in

43:24

fact, maybe even encouraged everyone to touch it.

43:26

Yeah. And there was a moment at

43:28

which music was

43:30

playing. Yep. And there was

43:32

a guitar solo. Right. And

43:34

I don't know who started it, but at

43:37

some point we all started taking turns playing

43:39

the bread. As

43:41

if it were making the sounds of the guitar.

43:43

You talk about a good party. And it was

43:46

so much fun. It's better than a pie eating

43:48

and contest. Yeah. So, first

43:50

of all, I made a decision in that moment that

43:52

like, I'm going to be a man

43:54

who likes squishy things. And

43:57

I'm going to be a man who gives squishy things.

44:00

squishy bread to people. So

44:02

I bought, I don't

44:04

know how many of our friends listen to this podcast,

44:06

so I might be spoiling the surprise, but the next

44:09

time that group of people gets

44:11

together, I've got a slice of bread

44:13

for every person. You have a loaf's

44:15

worth of squishy bread? And I have

44:17

a loaf. So I

44:19

have two, you've seen the loaf I've got. I've

44:21

got a loaf that looks like a nice baked

44:23

piece of bread with like a glossy like top,

44:26

like a... But it doesn't feel

44:28

as good. It's not as stretchy. I've got that just

44:30

to experiment. I've got that, I like it, but you

44:33

can't play that bread as well as you can play

44:35

my stretchy bread. When

44:38

B.V. King has really been in that

44:40

note, you want to pull that bread.

44:43

Pull it. Right. Because just to be

44:45

totally clear about the playing of the

44:47

bread, picture air

44:50

guitar, but

44:52

squishy bread. And

44:55

it can be stretched. So you

44:57

can just sit there and you can noodle on it and

45:00

you're smushing it with your fingertips

45:03

as if you're like Eddie Van Halen doing some finger

45:05

tapping. You can really do whatever you want, but that

45:07

is a common technique. We discovered that

45:09

you can do pretty much anything you want and

45:12

that can include stretching. Stretching

45:15

at the right time is really, it's a crowd pleaser.

45:17

It creates like a neck. I got a lot of

45:19

laughs at stretching at the right time. Right.

45:23

And in the contraction at the right time. Oh yeah,

45:25

you gotta come back. You can't just

45:27

stay stretched and you can't stretch too far because you don't want

45:29

to break it. If you break the bread in the middle of

45:31

a solo,

45:34

it's almost as bad as. I

45:36

feel like welcome to my world of satisfaction

45:40

because here's why

45:42

this bread that you've discovered is so great.

45:45

You know it's great when you touch it

45:47

and you squeeze it and your mouth

45:49

starts salivating. Not because you want to eat

45:52

bread, but because you're so satisfied with the

45:54

squishing it. I don't know if that happened.

45:56

Next time you play the bread, pay

45:59

attention to. If you're sovereign well

46:01

you like to eat dog food. I bet you

46:03

shut up. I bet you do I

46:06

bet you do and listen If

46:09

you have an urge You

46:12

first you have an awareness that there's something inside

46:14

of this squishy bread

46:16

that is viscous Yeah, and

46:19

that makes it squishy But

46:21

then you have this urge To

46:24

push it to the breaking point

46:26

to to pierce it to

46:29

to squirt it

46:33

And you resisting that and so there's this I Don't

46:36

know what you would call it.

46:38

There's this tension that you're it's like just

46:41

get you it's like you're on the edge of just

46:45

like I was just like compromising

46:47

your I Haven't like I

46:50

haven't broken it and I

46:52

will say we played a little bit. We

46:54

played that bread Yeah, we played that bread

46:56

so hard. That's the appeal the crust wore

46:58

off of it So

47:01

now it's just all white it looks

47:03

like a uncrustable No,

47:06

the ones I bought fully I didn't take them out

47:08

of the package because I'm handing them in the package

47:10

to each person I think I got a whole thing

47:12

a bread ceremony I'm trying to figure

47:14

out how I'm gonna be mr. Bread. I don't

47:16

know. I'm not going over think it Yeah, I mean

47:18

everybody doesn't even live in this state So it's no

47:20

but we were all planning on getting back together You're

47:22

waiting for that and I gotta wait until that to

47:24

get my bread you can go and give me my

47:26

bread No, no, no, no, you're gonna be

47:29

part of the bread ceremony. I know I

47:31

don't want to wait for that It'll be worth

47:33

it delay gratification. You're gonna love it Um

47:38

It is it is truly great. Where do people get this bread?

47:40

Do you want to tell them? I got it on Amazon my

47:43

there's a number of them, but the one

47:45

I got is toast sliced bread stress toy

47:49

toast sliced bread stress toy

47:51

I think it just might

47:53

be clickable not a sponsor, but we have sold

47:55

the hell out of this bread. I'm telling you

47:59

There's something I got the one that was more

48:01

expensive because I was worried. Yeah. I

48:04

mean, I think I paid like $9 a piece for like eight

48:06

pieces of bread. I paid 72 bucks for

48:08

fake bread. Hey. Hey,

48:12

this is the most money I've ever spent on fake bread.

48:14

I would, you should buy the cheap. Probably the most money

48:16

I've ever spent on bread. You should, yeah. You should have

48:18

bought the cheaper one too because I want to know if,

48:21

is it the same? It's probably the same. I don't know.

48:24

I feel like I got a good one because the thing I don't want

48:26

to do is I don't want somebody playing the bread for the pop. Mm-hmm.

48:29

Because that'll ruin it for everyone. But getting as close as

48:31

you can to that? Yeah, you want to think that it's

48:33

going to pop but you don't want it to pop. Exactly.

48:37

It's not going to pop. It's not going to pop but

48:39

you want to make it pop a little bit. Okay,

48:42

what else you got? Oh, what else I got? Because

48:45

I mean, I've got quite a list here. Not

48:49

a sponsor, though it, I think it was

48:51

a Mythical Kitchen sponsor and a lot of

48:53

people are sponsoring this thing now, including the

48:55

whole Snoop Dogg thing. Oh, Solo Stove. I

48:58

bought a Solo Stove, which they're saying

49:00

is like, it's a fire pit and

49:03

it's smokeless. I

49:05

got one for the Creative House, been enjoying that thing.

49:07

Did you use the corporate card for that? Yeah.

49:11

Well, yeah. You

49:13

should, but I mean, I don't know. I

49:16

still think we bought- I feel like this

49:18

is maybe a technical violation. We bought a

49:20

Solo Stove. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You haven't

49:22

even used it. Yeah, I have.

49:24

I threw some logs on it. Oh, yeah, that night. Yeah.

49:27

Where was the bread that night? Bread

49:29

should have been there. No, no, no. The

49:32

big loaf was there. Oh,

49:34

oh, and the little loaf was there. I played the bread

49:36

that night. The little loaf, don't you

49:39

remember? You didn't play

49:41

it memorably. I did

49:43

play it, but it was different because I'm- listen, that

49:47

wasn't the group. That wasn't the group for the

49:49

bread ceremony. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're

49:54

right. I did

49:56

play it, though. It wasn't the same. I will admit it

49:58

wasn't the same. Again,

50:00

they're not a sponsor but because And

50:03

there's some other competitors I just can't vouch

50:05

for them, but I can vouch for this

50:07

solo stuff and then come at different sizes.

50:09

They're pretty damn pricey I

50:12

think it's all hype. I know because

50:14

you know Snoop did his whole I'm

50:17

giving up smoke, right? I mean how much did that

50:19

man get paid for that? Oh my god because I

50:22

mean I was telling everybody that

50:24

smoke that Snoop stopped smoking

50:26

weed. I'm telling my in-laws over Thanksgiving.

50:28

I did not fall for it Oh,

50:31

I did not you thought it was an ad the whole

50:33

time Of

50:35

course, it's Snoop Dogg. I mean him or

50:37

Shaq, you know, he's selling something. Okay. No,

50:40

I'm questioning your timeline. I Think

50:43

you found out about it. Once everyone knew it

50:45

was an ad I thought he was gonna launch

50:47

an edible Yeah,

50:50

but he said he was smoking he's giving

50:52

up smoke he said smoke Yeah,

50:56

so you so well, I'm not saying I didn't think

50:58

he was gonna be doing edibles I'm

51:00

just saying I thought that he was saying that

51:02

he was legitimately we were never gonna see well

51:04

That's what he wanted him with a joint. But

51:07

that's what I didn't think do you feel cheated?

51:11

It did feel a little cheap yeah when he was selling

51:13

the solo stuff, yeah, yeah, yeah How

51:15

much did he get paid for that? How much did he get paid?

51:18

Not enough probably well Not

51:21

enough with the amount you pay for these things they could

51:23

probably afford to turn around and pay him away I'm in

51:25

a four hundred bucks. I can't remember I

51:29

did get the biggest one and then that

51:31

the accessories are exorbitant. So you got to

51:33

watch yourself, but I will say there's

51:36

just something magical about like burning

51:38

wood in a social setting and But

51:42

you don't want to have that smoke chasing you around

51:44

where you're like, oh, I gotta move my chair. I'm

51:46

gonna move my chair And it

51:48

smokes at first Once you get

51:50

a couple of logs going then it stops

51:52

it does stop smoking and then it's because

51:55

of the airflow Yes, so

51:57

it goes on more wood faster it

52:00

It eats through some wood.

52:03

But there is no smoke. It's just

52:05

an amazing fire. It's so hot, there's

52:07

no smoke. Jenna, you've seen it. Yeah,

52:09

my aunt and uncle have one as well

52:11

at their house. It's awesome. But

52:14

I will say it does smoke when the

52:17

log that you put in there has plastic wrapped

52:19

around it. Yeah, that's

52:21

what you did. It was dark, it was

52:23

really dark. And we had, we

52:26

had been playing quite a bit of

52:28

toast already. You got all the

52:31

wood and it was all wrapped up

52:33

and I'm out there cutting it and then I'm like,

52:35

I can't see anything, but I don't think there's any

52:37

plastic on this. Me

52:39

and Ward are standing next to the fire and I'm like,

52:41

that thing, for something that's not supposed

52:43

to smoke, that is some black smoke.

52:47

That is some toxic smoke coming out of

52:49

that thing. Yeah, it will

52:51

smoke if you put plastic in it. That's

52:54

mine, what else you got? I was

52:58

at the dentist earlier in the

53:00

year and

53:03

I already told you about my issue with trying

53:06

to, they're making me come

53:09

back every four months because of how it's like,

53:11

how quickly the buildup comes back. Yeah. And

53:13

they're like, it's something to do with like your saliva or

53:15

whatever. And they're like, you gotta be

53:18

flossing, you gotta be, so I'm doing everything. They

53:20

blamed your spit. Yeah, it's

53:22

something about, so it's not, sometimes

53:24

it can have nothing to do with it. It

53:27

can, anything to do with sugar, it has to do with the pH

53:30

or something. Okay. And so, I'm

53:33

like, well, there's never been a problem before, but you know,

53:35

you get older, things change. So, she's

53:39

like, what floss do you use? I'm like, you know,

53:42

the one that you get at the store, I don't think

53:44

about it or whatever. And she's like,

53:46

oh, you don't need to use like a

53:48

waxed, you

53:51

don't need to use a waxed floss, that's not

53:53

doing anything. There might be

53:55

dislodging some food, but there's

53:57

no abrasive nature. Oh. So

54:00

she's like, you need to get some

54:03

floss. That actually hurts. That's dry.

54:06

And so I found this floss

54:08

that's made from coconut. Cocoa

54:13

floss. By a degradable or something? Cocoa.

54:16

I mean it's vegan and cruelty free.

54:20

Anyway, cocoa floss. Probably

54:24

the most expensive floss that I've ever

54:26

bought. It's

54:28

not as expensive as fake bread. Is it in

54:30

a big roll or because it's from a coconut,

54:32

it's shorter strand? It looks the same. I got

54:34

three, it comes in a pack of three. I

54:37

don't know, it's probably like $20 for three. You'll

54:40

never go through it all. You'll stop for it. I've already

54:42

been through it and I bought more. I

54:45

floss every single night. You're still doing that.

54:47

Without exception. It is, I don't care how

54:49

tired I am, I don't care what I've

54:51

been doing, I'm like, you floss

54:53

and then you brush your teeth with the

54:55

electric toothbrush and you wash your face, no

54:58

matter what. You

55:01

better do it. That's how you talk

55:03

to yourself? And if you do that, you can play the bread.

55:06

You can't play that bread until you

55:09

floss, brush and wash your face. So

55:11

I've been doing it and listen, I

55:13

go to the dentist on Friday and

55:15

so. You're hoping. Because

55:18

we've been so busy, I had to postpone my dentist

55:21

appointment twice. So it's been like seven months. But

55:24

boy, if they give me a bad report, I'm gonna

55:26

be so disappointed. But I've been using this stuff, so

55:28

I'll let you know if it was worth it, but

55:30

it feels good and you feel like you're getting stuff.

55:33

You feel like you're rubbing the side of your tooth.

55:35

You're becoming obsessive, man. In

55:37

your age. Every single time that I go to the

55:39

dentist, they tell me I got a problem. I

55:42

never had a problem. Your problem is your health anxiety

55:44

and you know that. No,

55:47

when the doctor tells you that you have a problem,

55:50

that's not anxiety. When you tell yourself that you

55:52

have a problem and WebMD is where you go,

55:54

that's helping. But when you stop flossing every day.

55:57

You're supposed to floss every day. No, but

55:59

nobody, no. So they say that so that you'll

56:01

do it occasionally. Okay,

56:03

when all your teeth fall out of your

56:06

head. Hey, I'm the one

56:08

who's chewed 30 times in his entire life because I...

56:11

You're like an elephant and your mold is gonna wear

56:13

out. I'm just saying,

56:15

I'm trying to spare you. Like, I

56:17

spent my whole life meticulously trying

56:19

to be perfect. And

56:21

now you're trying... What?

56:26

What is that? It was just a good setup for a

56:28

joke, but I won't do it. I won't make the joke.

56:31

No, make it. I can take it.

56:33

No. I've spent my entire life trying

56:36

to be perfect. Yeah, trying. That's

56:38

it? Yeah, right, something. Okay. You

56:41

know, yeah. That

56:43

wasn't even good. Anyway,

56:45

you should have this floss because... No! Even

56:48

if you don't... What kind of floss are you

56:50

using? I don't equate. I don't

56:52

floss. At all? If

56:55

I eat corn or ribs, I'll

56:58

break out some string. Yeah, here

57:00

we go. Otherwise... How you get in between your

57:03

teeth? What are you doing? I use my tongue. Your

57:05

tongue cannot remove plaque. Don't

57:07

you tell me what my tongue can't

57:09

do. Between your teeth. My tongue... You

57:12

ever heard of a silver tongue devil? Uh,

57:16

yeah. Well, if...

57:20

Don't you think Hiki removed plaque? I

57:24

don't know what you're trying to say at this point, honestly. No,

57:29

after a meal,

57:31

I'll use my tongue to explore my

57:33

teeth and make sure there's nothing in there. But

57:35

this is the thing. And I

57:37

know that you're talking about scraping plaque. My

57:39

flossing, because I actually feel very

57:42

differently about this, my

57:44

flossing is unrelated. It's actually a

57:46

good... Like for me,

57:48

it's good. My health and anxiety. Health and

57:51

anxiety is when you think about something that

57:53

isn't happening. And you worry

57:55

about something that might happen. Okay,

57:57

that's true. And so I have that...

58:00

problem but this

58:02

is not that problem this

58:04

is actually good because it's real just

58:06

don't well and I'm being told by my doctor to

58:08

do it my dentist just don't brush your teeth too

58:11

hard because they also told me that yeah

58:13

I don't do that I don't brush them too hard I

58:16

might brush them too often what okay all right I'll let

58:18

you off the hook ear

59:49

I bought what

59:53

am I gonna tell you that I bought This

1:00:01

is actually Christy's purchase, but I did want to talk

1:00:03

about it. I don't think I've told this story. Okay.

1:00:07

Again, maybe a violation of the rule,

1:00:09

but okay. I just don't buy interesting

1:00:11

things, but I thought this was interesting.

1:00:13

She bought a handheld carbon monoxide detector,

1:00:16

and I don't think I told the story on the

1:00:18

podcast, forgive if I have, but like, you

1:00:20

know, back

1:00:22

early this year, we went to Cabo and

1:00:25

we went with a couple of friends, and we

1:00:27

like stayed in this place, and it was like this

1:00:30

nice resort where you had

1:00:32

like different Cabana

1:00:34

type things, and then there's a firepit, and we're

1:00:36

like hanging out by the firepit, and then a

1:00:38

couple of weeks later, Christy sends me this article,

1:00:40

and she's like, this

1:00:43

couple was

1:00:45

at the resort, and she started to

1:00:47

figure out that she thought they were in like the

1:00:49

same room that our friends were in, or in one

1:00:51

just like the one our friends were in, and

1:00:54

you can see where this is going.

1:00:56

They started to feel sick, and

1:00:59

then they went to the urgent care,

1:01:01

and then they checked them out. Since

1:01:04

they started to feel better, they

1:01:06

didn't discover anything. They went back to

1:01:08

the resort, went back to bed, and

1:01:11

woke up the next morning dead from carbon

1:01:14

monoxide poisoning. Oh, Jenna, you think

1:01:17

that's funny? Well, they probably- Waking

1:01:19

up in the morning dead is funny to me.

1:01:21

They probably didn't wake up. It's

1:01:24

another way to say it. It feels like we

1:01:26

had a brush with carbon

1:01:28

monoxide poisoning ourselves, because the gas

1:01:30

line was messed up at

1:01:32

the firepit that we were at, and then we had to call

1:01:34

the guy out there to get the firepit going, and

1:01:37

apparently some of it in one of these places

1:01:39

was leaking into a bedroom, and

1:01:41

they didn't have carbon monoxide detectors

1:01:43

installed. That

1:01:46

feels like a problem. I think that's a problem. It

1:01:48

should be like- And I'm not going to say, well,

1:01:50

it's Mexico, because I don't think that's true either. But

1:01:54

it probably is the law in America for people

1:01:56

to have carbon monoxide. Well, let me tell you

1:01:58

this. I don't know. Every

1:02:00

other place that we've gone, including

1:02:02

our own bedroom, you

1:02:05

best believe that Chris has been firing

1:02:07

up that carbon monoxide detector. How often

1:02:09

does she do it? Oh, she's every

1:02:12

night. She's got a holster for it.

1:02:15

She sleeps with it. And

1:02:18

what does it do? She might have a little bit of

1:02:20

what you got, you know what I'm saying? She

1:02:22

might have a little bit more than I got. Based

1:02:25

on my conversations with her. Right. Yeah,

1:02:30

so she never detected any

1:02:32

carbon monoxide. Right. It'll probably

1:02:34

say that way. So maybe the detector's not working.

1:02:36

What I tell her. You need a detector for

1:02:39

the detector, is what I told her. Well,

1:02:41

you need to go into an environment that you know is

1:02:45

compromised. Or send someone,

1:02:47

maybe. Um, she's

1:02:49

doing it at your house? I've

1:02:52

seen it out, yeah. And what, how does

1:02:54

it work? We do have carbon monoxide detectors.

1:02:56

They're in our fire detector. You

1:02:58

just hold it up into the air? Yeah,

1:03:00

yeah, yeah. It's like a handheld. And it gives

1:03:03

you a ding. You're good to go. Keep breathing. I

1:03:05

mean, just think about it. If you

1:03:07

can, if there's a circular one, you can mount to

1:03:09

your ceiling. Or plug into

1:03:11

the wall. If it doesn't go off, it's good. A

1:03:14

handheld one, yeah. She

1:03:17

held it up to your face? Why?

1:03:21

Why? Do you ask that? Because I'm a silver-tongued devil.

1:03:24

Because a lot of hot air comes out. Hot air. It

1:03:28

would probably detect. Actually, it would

1:03:31

detect. If it doesn't detect, is

1:03:34

it carbon dioxide that comes out of your mouth? I believe

1:03:36

it is, yeah. That's a difference. You might have some monoxide.

1:03:38

I don't know. I

1:03:40

mean, I don't know. You're starting to wet

1:03:42

a bed as an adult. I don't know what's going on. You

1:03:45

might have monoxide coming out of your mouth. Okay.

1:03:51

I bought something that

1:03:55

I feel like I ended up making you buy

1:03:57

that you probably have forgotten about. might

1:04:01

be the most significant purchase you've made all year. I

1:04:05

think it may have been, it probably wasn't as much

1:04:07

as that Solo stove, but we paid for that together.

1:04:10

You know what I'm talking about? What genre

1:04:12

are we in? It

1:04:14

was a situation. Can you buy it at Walmart? No,

1:04:17

it was a situation in which I

1:04:20

do the thing that I do, which is

1:04:22

when I get into something, I get equipped

1:04:24

properly equipped. You talking about a GPS? No.

1:04:30

On another trip, I bought a satellite

1:04:32

tracker. I had already had that satellite

1:04:35

phone. I bought one because you had one. Yeah, yeah.

1:04:38

And you know what? I was

1:04:40

looking out for you. Yeah. No,

1:04:42

I bought something and you were

1:04:44

there when I bought it and you were like, okay, I guess

1:04:46

I'll buy it too. You

1:04:48

bought the same exact one that I bought. And I'm

1:04:50

telling you, it had to be, it

1:04:54

had to be one of your biggest purchases of the year. You

1:04:59

talking about solar panels? No,

1:05:03

we were in a store together,

1:05:06

buying things to get ready for something. Buying

1:05:09

things to get ready for something? Something

1:05:12

that I started doing because you started doing it. But

1:05:15

then the way I did it was the way that I do it. Skiing

1:05:19

and snowboarding? No, but close.

1:05:22

An activity. I'm

1:05:25

glad that, you know what? This represents growth for

1:05:27

you because you didn't register that you spent like 350

1:05:29

bucks on a bag. A

1:05:34

bag? Oh,

1:05:37

a scuba bag. Yeah, the diet bag. Oh, yes.

1:05:40

I was looking at the other, I was like, well damn, I bought

1:05:42

that bag. And I could

1:05:44

see the pain in your eyes when you bought it

1:05:46

too. Because

1:05:48

we went to, we were gonna go on

1:05:50

the scuba trip, the

1:05:53

one where we saw the orcas and all that. And

1:05:55

we were at our, we were at Hollywood Divers, shout

1:05:57

out to Hollywood Divers, that's our dive shop. I

1:06:00

had to get a warmer suit for myself. And

1:06:02

uh. Because of the splurge. We got all this,

1:06:04

like you know, you got your mask and your

1:06:06

fins and your wetsuit and you've got the things

1:06:08

that you don't wanna have to keep renting every

1:06:10

time. But then what are you gonna do

1:06:12

with it? Put it in a trash bag? No, you're

1:06:14

gonna put it in a dive bag that has wheels.

1:06:17

Yeah. So that me and Shepherd can put

1:06:19

all our shit in one bag. And I'm

1:06:21

just looking at the bags and I'm like, well that one looks like the

1:06:23

best one. That's what I'm gonna do. And

1:06:25

then you look at me and I'm like, I don't think

1:06:28

I need a bag. Yeah and

1:06:30

then you bought it and I get you. But

1:06:32

like you've used it more than me cause you

1:06:34

went diving again. I haven't been diving since that

1:06:36

point. Since that you went

1:06:38

diving with Link and you used it. Yeah,

1:06:41

it's a good bag. It's a great bag. It's a great

1:06:43

bag. I almost used it twice but the conditions weren't. Oh

1:06:46

yeah, you were gonna go back and see the seals.

1:06:48

They didn't give birth. The conditions, the

1:06:51

guy called it off the day before.

1:06:54

Yeah, I bought a bag. And you know what? Since

1:06:57

then, this has been the year of

1:06:59

me buying bags. You know, I talked about my

1:07:01

fanny bag, my sling bag.

1:07:04

I am still fully committed to

1:07:07

going with that thing everywhere and

1:07:10

I do it. And then I bought

1:07:12

a weekend pack to go along with it that

1:07:17

it goes in the top of it and I can like, and

1:07:20

then I bought Christy one and I'm like,

1:07:22

oh, what kind of weekend pack? We're

1:07:24

gonna go to New Zealand and we're gonna be

1:07:26

like outdoor trekking people and we're gonna have like

1:07:29

these bags. I

1:07:31

went on this Dakota-poxy or Kodopaxi,

1:07:33

I don't know how you say

1:07:35

it, website and I just got

1:07:37

enamored with this stuff. You'll

1:07:39

fall for bags, which is why I thought I was doing you

1:07:41

a favor when I got a really nice bag. And

1:07:44

then I bought, I got a new laptop bag from them.

1:07:47

Did you notice that? Today was the first day I brought it

1:07:49

in. Did you notice it? Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's just hard

1:07:51

to keep up with how many bags you got. 100%

1:07:54

recycled materials to make these

1:07:56

bags. And I just

1:07:58

like their ethos. I gotta get a good bag

1:08:01

for all the bread I'm gonna give you. You know

1:08:03

what else? I bought a toiletry bag. I

1:08:05

got a new backpack, a new toiletry bag.

1:08:07

I got Christy a backpack. I got me

1:08:10

a weekend backpack. Does your toiletry bag, can

1:08:13

you hook it and then it unravels? No.

1:08:15

Oh, I figured you would have done that. No. And

1:08:21

for Christmas I bought myself a snowboard. That

1:08:24

was my big one. And then, and

1:08:27

boots. Yeah.

1:08:30

Oh, that got more than a bag. Because Lincoln is

1:08:32

like, he wants to get in snowboarding. I'm like, you

1:08:34

know what? I'm gonna get back in the snowboarding. I

1:08:37

can do it. Little Michael

1:08:39

can do it. So

1:08:42

that was my big Christmas present to myself.

1:08:45

And then I'm like, and you know what I need? A

1:08:48

bag. I need a bag

1:08:51

for my snowboard. You gotta buy a bag.

1:08:53

So here I am, thanks to you. Yeah.

1:08:56

Yeah, I didn't trace it back. I

1:08:58

opened your year to back. You're my bag boy. You've

1:09:01

opened up my world of bags. And

1:09:04

I'll open up a box. I broke the seal. And there'll

1:09:06

be an, I'm like, my mother-in-law

1:09:08

is obsessed with purses. And

1:09:10

now I get it. We'll totally get it.

1:09:13

Oh, I wonder how, when I open up this

1:09:15

bag, I wonder how many zippers and how many

1:09:17

other pockets are gonna be inside of it. How

1:09:19

am I gonna be able to organize

1:09:21

everything and have everything? It's like, and

1:09:25

it feels good. It feels almost as good

1:09:27

as playing bread. But

1:09:29

not as good as playing bread. And

1:09:32

you know what? Once you give me that bread, I'll probably

1:09:35

need a bag to carry it in.

1:09:37

Maybe I'll give everybody a little crown

1:09:40

royal bag for their bread. I'm

1:09:42

gonna keep my bread in my fanny pack.

1:09:44

I'm gonna keep it with me at all

1:09:46

times. Well, I mean, I have been thinking

1:09:48

not just about giving bread to that group,

1:09:50

but I've been thinking about, you

1:09:53

know, as I've been talking about having

1:09:55

these events, that

1:09:57

they're still very like nebulous.

1:10:00

in my mind, but I have been thinking that one

1:10:02

of the things that I would like to do if

1:10:05

the event was not too big is to always have

1:10:08

maybe bread for everybody but a different kind of

1:10:10

bread like everybody gets like a biscuit like maybe

1:10:13

Those sliced bread is just for that group. But then

1:10:16

oh if you go to Parting a red sauce you

1:10:18

he'll give you he'll give you some squishy biscuits We

1:10:21

know it's just something just something like that. Are

1:10:23

you just so they have something to remember, you

1:10:25

know I think you should shall we break bread

1:10:27

together and then they all try to break it

1:10:29

and they can't get squishy Almost break. It's a

1:10:32

prank almost break bread together This

1:10:35

is yeah, then I think this might play in the

1:10:37

like your Jesus complex Jesus

1:10:40

complex you can't tell somebody that they have a Jesus

1:10:42

complex just because I get accused of looking like the

1:10:44

Mormon Jesus on a regular Basis doesn't mean I have

1:10:46

a Jesus complex. When that what it is When

1:10:49

you when you're mistaken the loaves in the

1:10:51

fishes when you're mistaken for Maybe

1:10:55

trying to do like a like

1:10:57

maybe you're the backup guy on the chosen series

1:10:59

or something like that, right? Yeah Yeah, yeah, Jesus

1:11:01

come. Yeah, but that's I mean, that's I don't

1:11:03

know if that's a complex. I think that's just

1:11:06

opportunistic But

1:11:10

maybe I do I get some squishy fish Do

1:11:12

you like you're multiplying the bread maybe if I

1:11:14

get some squishy fish? Yeah, maybe maybe I the

1:11:16

loaves in the fishes Maybe I just want to

1:11:18

say Swedish fish in there squishy, but

1:11:20

you can eat them loaves and fishes. There you

1:11:22

go That's your party. Um, I

1:11:25

purchased as you know, I have

1:11:28

somewhat of a smart home and Where

1:11:32

I like to say things to my home and

1:11:34

then my home does things right? Yeah Not

1:11:37

everything is smart, but as many

1:11:39

lights as possible are those

1:11:42

Lutron lights. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right You

1:11:46

told us about this last year. Well two years ago

1:11:48

Yeah, but I'm telling you about the update first of

1:11:50

all, have you ever a few leutron to yet? No,

1:11:53

you don't have any leutron. I

1:11:55

I've we mowed Right,

1:11:57

but you but you can like when you go to

1:12:00

bed you don't have to worry that you've

1:12:02

left lights on no okay that's making sure

1:12:06

well a few lights but keep

1:12:09

going Jesse when

1:12:11

she redid the outside area in our

1:12:13

home she

1:12:16

wanted a fountain look you know

1:12:18

this little fountain that trinkles

1:12:21

some water right yeah I know

1:12:23

what a fountain is and as

1:12:25

you know as you have experienced one of

1:12:27

my favorite things to do at my house

1:12:29

is to touch rocks watch is

1:12:34

to the fountain no is to

1:12:36

watch television outside okay yes and

1:12:38

I had

1:12:40

you over for my birthday party and we did that and

1:12:43

thank you now

1:12:47

when I say how

1:12:50

to pay Google outdoor movie the

1:12:52

fountain turns off a fountain turns off

1:12:55

that's so damn loud the lights change

1:12:57

but the fountain goes off because lutron

1:13:00

makes a

1:13:03

weatherproof outdoor smart plug that's just

1:13:05

an on-off switch yeah you can

1:13:07

just plug anything anything into it

1:13:09

yeah you're like

1:13:11

you even a fountain your lights outside like

1:13:13

it's not just for fountains but like your

1:13:15

voice controls water you have an Aquaman complex

1:13:17

no that's still kind of a Jesus well

1:13:20

it's adjacent Momoa complex well no cuz can

1:13:22

we know you have that Jesus could make

1:13:24

he could walk on water and he could

1:13:26

turn the water to wine I still think

1:13:28

we're squarely in Jesus territory what

1:13:31

can Aquaman make fountain style right I

1:13:33

have not watched those movies I think

1:13:35

he just has a trident not

1:13:39

a sponsor

1:13:41

because it gum because

1:13:43

it guy I

1:13:46

don't want to talk about anything else up off really I

1:13:49

feel like it's only been met with ridicule

1:13:52

every time I thought and you say that I'm

1:13:54

Jesus well

1:13:57

yeah I really cool you you really kill

1:13:59

my purchases And that

1:14:01

hurts. What was the last thing you said? I

1:14:04

didn't ridicule it. What was it? Well,

1:14:06

you said that it didn't count. You

1:14:09

said none of my things count. No, I say

1:14:11

that you violated some unofficial rules of the list,

1:14:13

which is something that you bought for yourself. Okay.

1:14:16

Not something you bought for us or something your wife bought. But if

1:14:19

that's the way that you need to fill out your list, then maybe

1:14:21

we'll just amend the rules. I'm not a stickler

1:14:23

for rules, you know that. My last thing, UAR, that

1:14:25

is a Y-U-O-Y-A-R. U-A-R,

1:14:32

two pack sunglasses holder.

1:14:35

Another bag, really. It's, well,

1:14:38

it's a clip. It's a kind of bag. It's

1:14:40

a, you put it, you're driving, and you got

1:14:42

a bunch of glasses, and

1:14:44

you feel like wearing a certain type of glasses. And

1:14:47

so on my visor in my car,

1:14:50

I have bought, I

1:14:52

actually bought multiple sets of these. I have three

1:14:55

clips, three

1:14:57

different types of glasses in my car. And then

1:14:59

I was like, you know what? I'm gonna do

1:15:01

Christy a favor, and I got two in Christy's

1:15:03

car. One of them's for my

1:15:05

glasses. And yeah, cause it's like, I

1:15:07

don't like, I have to switch my prescription

1:15:09

to my sunglasses. Okay, so that's two clips.

1:15:11

And then, maybe. Just so you're saying that. And

1:15:14

then I have other type, I have sunglasses that

1:15:16

I can also read with, but that make me

1:15:18

sick when I drive with. And

1:15:20

those were up there, but then those were replaced. Eh.

1:15:25

They're all up there convenient. But

1:15:28

in, just in your car, what do you do

1:15:30

when you drive your wife's car? Have them in there too, and

1:15:32

I have different sunglasses in there. You

1:15:34

got sunglasses just for your wife's car. Yeah, prescription

1:15:37

sunglasses. It's a safety thing, that's a

1:15:40

different set. Yeah. Okay,

1:15:43

what about when you drive some, what about when you steal

1:15:45

a car? Well now I have my fanny pack,

1:15:48

which I care with me at all times. You

1:15:50

can't be thwarted at this point. Nope. That's

1:15:54

the last thing you're gonna talk about? I'm done. I've

1:15:57

got to speed through. I'm so done with this. purchases

1:16:00

of this year is those

1:16:03

hocus I got. Those

1:16:05

comfortable shoes that were prominently featured

1:16:07

in our we took

1:16:09

a nap video. They floated.

1:16:12

Yeah. You know I gotta

1:16:16

say most comfortable pair of

1:16:18

shoes that I've ever had the Bondi

1:16:20

8. If you're in the market for

1:16:22

to walk on clouds I'm just gonna tell

1:16:24

you you got to get some. I

1:16:28

got one of those little

1:16:35

MIDI controllers. Oh

1:16:37

yeah that's cool. The Akai I

1:16:39

guess it is AKAI. Akai. Just

1:16:42

really small. Put

1:16:44

in your laptop bag. It just looks like

1:16:47

a miniature keyboard. Yeah but you know we've

1:16:49

been making a lot more music for

1:16:52

the Rhett and Link channel and

1:16:57

also like we did the GMM

1:16:59

Metro this year and that was all done on

1:17:02

that little keyboard. Right. Like

1:17:04

not having to like we've been doing a lot more of

1:17:06

our own music making

1:17:08

and producing versus farming. We've still farm stuff

1:17:10

out and still get people to help us

1:17:12

with things but like I don't know there's

1:17:15

a whole little world that's opened up on

1:17:17

that thing. You keep it in your laptop

1:17:19

bag? I do.

1:17:21

It's in my car right now. It's just on the back of

1:17:23

my car. But you could travel with it. You could travel with

1:17:25

it. Yeah. I highly recommend that. I got

1:17:28

because you know we're

1:17:33

going back to North Carolina more often and

1:17:36

I really like flying with a guitar is like

1:17:38

you don't want to do that. You know there's

1:17:40

so many horror stories about that. I was like

1:17:42

I gotta get me like a solid

1:17:46

acoustic guitar that I have

1:17:49

in North Carolina. It'd be my North Carolina

1:17:51

guitar. Oh right. You know it's like my

1:17:53

home guitar and I'm gonna go to Harry's

1:17:55

guitars. Remember Harry's guitars in Raleigh? Yeah. Which

1:17:58

moved it moved. It's a different location. It's not

1:18:00

in downtown Raleigh anymore. I don't care. But

1:18:02

it's just, I mean, it was a little disappointing, but it

1:18:05

moved, but it's bigger. Okay. I

1:18:07

haven't told you about this guitar. I didn't know

1:18:09

you bought a guitar. I mean, you have, why didn't you just take

1:18:11

one? You didn't want to fly with one that

1:18:13

you have here? You got four

1:18:15

here, Rhett. Well, half

1:18:18

of them, my kids play them, my kids break

1:18:20

them. I've got, my kids have broken so many

1:18:22

of my guitars. Okay. And I

1:18:27

got a guild. You've

1:18:29

seen a guild? You've seen those guild guitars? Yeah.

1:18:32

Yeah. Like a guild. Well, I just was asked

1:18:34

to get, it's just like, it's just like they're

1:18:36

like 140. It's like, you

1:18:38

know, like the base, the, the, the,

1:18:40

the, the lowest level solid

1:18:42

top. You mean guild and, no,

1:18:45

it's not the t-shirts. It

1:18:48

plays so good. I've never played a, I never

1:18:50

picked up a guild guitar. Butter? It's just, oh,

1:18:52

it just, I love it. It just, it's great.

1:18:54

And what's the bread factor? It's like, it's got

1:18:57

probably eight out of 10 on bread. Okay. It's

1:18:59

not as good as the bread. Wow.

1:19:02

I got a, I bought

1:19:05

a robe this year. I, you

1:19:08

know, I, I bought a robe. Yeah.

1:19:11

We get robes for free. Some, for some

1:19:13

reasons, yet you still had to buy one.

1:19:16

Well, we get like YouTube robes that say like

1:19:18

Good Mythical Morning on there and things like that.

1:19:20

Like I want to be that guy. Yeah. It's

1:19:22

like, what's your YouTube channel? Look at my robe.

1:19:25

You know, I've got a wingstop robe.

1:19:27

Again, I, wingstop sent us a robe.

1:19:29

In fact, the other night, Jesse comes

1:19:32

out with a robe and she says,

1:19:34

why do we have a wingstop robe?

1:19:36

I'm like, baby, you married the right

1:19:38

guy. Lifestyle. You married a man to

1:19:40

get sent wingstop robes. It

1:19:43

is a nice lifestyle when you can walk

1:19:45

around. I mean, but there's a company, shout

1:19:48

out to highway Robbery. Get

1:19:50

it? I fell

1:19:53

victim to their Instagram ads and

1:19:57

what's so good about their robes? Jizzer's cool looking.

1:20:00

They're just cool looking. Paisley. And

1:20:02

it's striped and it's light. It's a

1:20:04

light robe. Summer robe. It's

1:20:06

a summer robe. I try to stretch it into the

1:20:09

winter. It's California. You can do that. I just feel

1:20:11

like, you know, I'm past

1:20:13

my mid-40s, really, 46. I'm

1:20:16

heading to late 40s. I just feel like it's time. It's

1:20:18

time for cool robes. Last

1:20:22

two things. Oh gosh. Thank

1:20:25

goodness. I, and I'll

1:20:28

talk, I mean,

1:20:30

this may be bleeding over into

1:20:32

my top moments. You know

1:20:34

what? I'm gonna save it for my

1:20:37

top moments. That's right. Don't spoil it. Because I

1:20:39

bought something that then translated into a top

1:20:41

moment that I'll talk about next week. Yeah,

1:20:44

save that. But the last thing is, and

1:20:46

maybe this might encapsulate this

1:20:50

year for us as

1:20:52

a species. I

1:20:56

bought, I started paying

1:21:00

for Chad GPT. It's

1:21:03

like a monthly or annual type thing. What's

1:21:06

that run you? Maybe

1:21:09

it's 20 bucks a month. Oh really? I

1:21:12

can't remember what it was. But

1:21:16

I haven't done that. I

1:21:18

honestly, I'm thinking about not like,

1:21:20

I don't know. I use it

1:21:22

on and off. And

1:21:25

I haven't like used it. I

1:21:27

used it more when I first started to do it. And

1:21:29

it was more in the, I don't know if we talked

1:21:31

about this on the podcast,

1:21:34

but like, I've used it in

1:21:36

exercises where I wanted to ask it a

1:21:38

question that I would ask Google or ask

1:21:40

it to summarize something. Or

1:21:43

if I'm trying to generate a list

1:21:45

of things that like, what?

1:21:48

Oh, I'll tell you. I'll tell you where I used it.

1:21:51

And this is an example of it not doing a good job. So

1:21:57

the song, the egg song

1:21:59

that's in the... the latest Rhett and Link

1:22:01

video. Yeah. And

1:22:04

of course the whole premise of the song is

1:22:06

that this whole idea that over easy is

1:22:08

harder to do than over hard. Right. Sends

1:22:12

you, not your character, you into an existential

1:22:14

crisis. Right. And

1:22:16

then- Where other truths. Well

1:22:19

and you say- It would sound backwards. Well and

1:22:21

you say, next thing you know you'll

1:22:23

tell me that Iceland is green and Greenland is covered in

1:22:26

ice. And

1:22:28

I'm like, yeah it's true. Well

1:22:31

that was what I thought of, right? But

1:22:34

when I went on chat at GPT and I was

1:22:36

like, give me

1:22:39

an example of something that

1:22:41

the name for it is

1:22:45

actually describes,

1:22:48

I don't know how I described it, but I was like, over

1:22:51

hard is harder, is

1:22:53

easier to make than over easy. And I

1:22:55

was like, such as Greenland is covered in

1:22:58

ice and Iceland is green because everybody knows

1:23:00

that. And then

1:23:02

people are like, well driveway, parkway, whatever. There's a

1:23:04

few examples. Right. And so

1:23:06

the great thing about chat GPT is it can generate,

1:23:09

ostensibly it can generate all known

1:23:13

examples of that. But it

1:23:16

didn't give me anything better than what I had already come

1:23:18

up with, which is the Greenland thing. And I was like-

1:23:20

Did it give you the driveway parkway? Yeah. I

1:23:23

didn't want to do anything that people

1:23:25

already knew about. Right. I

1:23:27

was kind of disappointed in that line. I was

1:23:30

happy with it when I first heard the Greenland

1:23:32

ice. Because I was like, because it

1:23:34

was a song about eggs. I wanted to be more

1:23:36

unexpected. That was unexpected, but apparently

1:23:39

it doesn't exist, or at least chat GPT. So that's

1:23:42

how I've been using it this year, is when I'm

1:23:44

like, am I gonna find a

1:23:46

website that has idioms listed? Yeah, when

1:23:48

you know the criteria for something and

1:23:50

you know there's probably an answer that-

1:23:53

And I'm sure I'm not, I'm definitely not

1:23:55

taking full advantage of it. And I'm not

1:23:57

using it. It's not writing things like- Oh,

1:24:00

write a script or tell me a joke. It's

1:24:02

more like this is something that I

1:24:04

could go through a long process of getting somebody to

1:24:06

do or searching. But

1:24:08

anyway, I thought that was, I

1:24:12

assume we'll look back on this

1:24:15

year. It's like, oh yeah, you remember 2023? Yeah.

1:24:19

It's the year when everybody kind of

1:24:21

started understanding what that first AI tool

1:24:23

was that we, what was it called,

1:24:25

chatgbt? Yeah. What is it now?

1:24:27

It's whatever it's gonna be. Right. It's

1:24:30

our consciousness. Yeah. Right. It's

1:24:33

our president. Right. It's

1:24:35

the government. All

1:24:38

right, it's my rec baby rec, baby 123

1:24:40

today. I'm

1:24:45

just gonna pick something we talked about. Like what, if

1:24:47

I can only pick one thing, what's the thing

1:24:50

that could have the most impact in people's

1:24:52

lives that we've discussed today? A

1:24:56

bag? Maybe a bag probably. I

1:25:00

guess I gotta go with a handheld carbon monoxide

1:25:02

detector. You know what? It could save

1:25:04

a life. When in doubt or two, get

1:25:06

one and take it with you whenever

1:25:09

you're staying somewhere and use it. I

1:25:13

just conceivably saved a life. Good

1:25:17

for you, man. Yeah. Put

1:25:19

it in your bag. With your fake bread. I

1:25:23

was just trying to add something. Or just get fake bread. Pretty

1:25:26

1:25:28
