Speaker 1 (00:00):
All I want to do is sleep. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Before we check in with Katie in the state of
our pregnancy. I need to finish up my story.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
About being in assault mine on vacation. That thought Katie
was describing my lifestyle. All I want to sleep hasn't
been a moment in my life. I haven't wanted to
lie down.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So my kids and I toured a salt mine on vacation.
There's a salt mine in the middle of Kansas. And
if you're a film buff, you know this because this
is where all the ancient, old, well known films are stored,
like The Wizard of Oz, et cetera. Because way down
in the salt mine, temperature controlled, humidity controlled, nothing decays,
it doesn't deteriorate. That had a newspaper down there, a
(00:46):
copy of the New York Times from the day after
Lincoln was shot, and it was looking like looking at
a newspaper from that day, Oh my god, you would
have to go to settle the trouble to preserve that.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, you know elsewhere on earth. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And there's all kinds of stuff down there, movie memorabilia
like Batman uniforms and stuff like that, just stuff that
they store so it won't decay. One thing I did
learn about the salt mine that they opened up in
nineteen twenty is you didn't want to work in a
salt mine back in the twenties and thirties. Oh my god,
that looked like a hard job down there in the
pitch black except for your candles, hoping the thing didn't
(01:20):
cave in on you. Right, that's funny. We were taking
this tour and this guy was driving us around and
the little train down there in these dark, dark, long
tunnels in the salt mine, and then he's showing how
the roof SAgs sometimes and sometimes the sag can break
through and crush people. It was always I worry he
said that one's sagging like Madonna?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
What appropriate?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Whaty line from a tour?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Guys in appropriate? AnyWho?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I wanted to mention this because everything stays preserved down there.
And I mentioned on the radio show all the garbage,
anything that goes down in the mind stays in the mine.
It's just too cost and effective to bring anything out
of the mine other than you're losing money if you
take anything out of the mind other than salt. So
anything that goes down there stays down there. Any bit
of garbage over the last one hundred and five years
(02:09):
is still down there, and it's perfectly preserved because of
the you know, as I described, with the humidity and whatnot.
So there's all kinds of like really old like from
the thirties, cigarette containers or whatever, or toilet paper from
people who'd pooped one hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
A useful, invaluable historical lartifacts.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But here's something I didn't know. So they started they
originally they took donkeys down in the mind to try
to help with the work, but they would go blind
right away. And they found out human beings are this
way too. If you aren't using your corneas and everything
that you need to know, you've gotten your eyeball you
need to use for light. If you don't use them
at all for like three days, you go blind. That's
(02:52):
how that's how quick the atrophy. Wow, isn't that something
I'd never heard of that before? Terrifying it is, so anyway,
the donkeys will blind, and then they kept argument and
then they died down there because everything that goes into
mind stays the mind. So there are dead donkeys around this,
many hundreds of miles of minds various places, and they
would be perfectly intact, like the wind they died.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
What like, are they still the same shape or are
they like skinny located?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, they would look exactly the same. You got a
ninety year old dead burrel there.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The hell is amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I know, it's quite something. Anyway, that's the end of
my down and assault my knowledge having to to dead donkeys.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I mean, so like their internal uh you know, uh bacteria.
Don't know. If you went up and like put your
hand on it, it would just like turn to dust.
But it looks exactly the same as when it died. Wow, yeah,
I know in other dead donkey news, Wait, no, there
is no other dead donkeys now.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And then strangest transition ever to how Katie's pregnancy is going.
Katie is pregnant. Yeah, case you didn't know, and we
know who the father is to your husband, we do.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Wow, Dad was inappropriate, It really was.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I'm just fringing everybody else.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Was never a question?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Was enough of the air at any point?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But so, how how is being pregnant? He said? You
want to sleep all the time?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Oh my gosh, I have never been this tired. In
my life.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, And.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
So I finally made the I guess the announcement on
my social media the other day. And boy did I
think I was getting opinions beforehand? Oh boy, oh the
just wait and all that. But I had an interesting
interaction with someone who would not get off me about
(04:46):
telling them what his name's going to be. And yeah,
and that's something that I'm going to keep until he's here,
just because.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I don't I don't want to hear it what some.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
People do and some people don't. But if somebody if
I said, what are you gonna name them? And they
say we're gonna hold on to that, you.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Just say, okay, you don't like pride, Oh, unless you're
a piece of crap is a human being.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
They just kept going on and on about oh, well
this happened when I was naming my kid, and and
so one of the things that she did, she went, well,
I can just tell you that one of the names
that I thought was awful was and she said a name,
and so I wrote her back and I was like,
that's the name that we chose, a perfect And I
(05:30):
just waited a few seconds and I could see, you know,
you see the little type bubble coming in and I
finally hit her with that.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm just kidding, that wasn't it.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But I just felt like making her just sheer pants
for just a couple of seconds.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Indeed, Yeah, what an interesting personality quirk. Somebody tells you
we're not going to announce the name until the baby's born.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Come on, tell me and this tech.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
This text thread went on for much longer than it should.
I should have just stopped responding. If you know I
we're going to do the right thing. But it went
on for an hour and a half.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Good lord, how close are we in this scenarios?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Relatively close?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Okay, might be putting up the wall a little bit
from from that experience though.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
But yeah, I mean friend points there.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah right, you're gonna You're gonna stick with the name regardless.
I know some people pick multiple names and then depend
on what the baby looks like.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
No, we we have landed on a name for him,
and then when we plan to have our second one
in a couple of years, we have her name as well.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
You don't look like a Brandon, you look like an Aiden.
You're Aiden.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Well that's funny. Good for you approaching in any way.
You want. I think we kept our our options open
until it was time to do the name, and we
had a you know, a couple of things kicking around, ideas,
and just we waited till it was baby time, and
I was like, yeah, that's the one, but you know,
teach their own.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, so we've we've got. I just I just wanted
to get it out of the way.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
And like we we were talking about it back in
fourth and then when we landed on one and we
both went ooh, I like that, like perfect, let's just
leave it there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, my son and I got on this conversation
the other day about names. I'm amazed more people don't
change their names.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Because it's so cheap.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It like it. It doesn't cost hardly anything to change
your name. You'd think you'd think more people would decide
I don't want to be Jack or whatever and would
change their name to something they like better. But almost
nobody does.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, that is funny, because especially kids are all about
eye and I don't like my name. I wish I wasn't,
you know whatever, right, Yeah, it's funny. It'd be a
pain in the ass, I think, you know, running into
paperwork difficulties and fill out forms and stuff like that.
Maybe that's it. There's paperwork involved. It's not the cost,
(07:47):
it's the forms.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
You got to change your email probably and all your
doctor descriptions.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, i'd changed my name to Bob.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You could spell it forwards and backwards the same and
a good point a lot of fund kick ass. That
would be what I go with. Now, some states you
got to get approval for it, and in your more
metalsome states it would probably say no, no captain, and
I would spell it c a p apostrophe and captain
kick ass.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Cat be pretty good.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Captain.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Everybody has to call me captain.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Uh you gonna tell us the name?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
No, No, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
I'll tell you guys off the podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Jack, Joe, Mike, Mike is Jack. I don't want to know.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I want your options open.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I feel like I'd be invading your space if I.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Know you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I talked to you guys, more than I talk to
anybody else in my life.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, that's sad, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Shut up?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Is that one of your Brandon aiden you know?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
No, they're both. They're both Irish names, Okay, Irish, I
guess I am Irish and so is Drew.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, so Chauncey. Chauncey is Chauncy Irish.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
H it's certainly uh uk Ish British.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Isle Zi, Yeah, it's not Chauncey.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah. Seamus, No, it's not Seamous. I like, uh, it's
got shame in it. You can't go with it. Although
I've known a couple of Seamuses in my life, they've
been lovely fellas.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I know, I've only known one and he should have
been ashamed.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Oh really interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Oh yeah about McGregor Gonor, No, it's not McGregor.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
We'll just keep guessing Irish names for like another forty minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
You know, I don't think you guys will guess it.
And also, I'm one of the other reasons.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
I was really happy about it is that Drew and
I both don't know anybody with this name.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, just beware.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
This is why you keep your options open. Judy and
I seriously had never heard of any girl named Caitlin
when we normed, when we named Kate and then subsequently
became one of the most popular names you know in
the country for a long time, to the point that
I think she at times she had two or three
in each class. Yeah, ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I'm a Caitlin and that's that is acting.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That's right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know he can't
win with kids because I was always the only in
every class I was in, there was never another Jack,
and I hated that. It seemed weird that I was
the only one. And then there's kids that were two
Mics and four Steves and everything like that. They hated
that that so there's no winning.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Yeah. How do you feel about if like your your
your husband's mostly Italian, American whatever. I got a little
Greek in there, and you're from wherever else but not England,
not Ireland, not the British, and you go with Caitlin,
which is the Irish form of Catherine. That that shouldn't
be allowed. You shouldn't be able to get just seize
(10:41):
a name unless you have credentials.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Really, you know what I mean? If you don't have
any Irish you don't think you should be able to
name your kid Caitlyn.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah right, yeah, that's out it bounds Hull.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Get your own names, Get your own names.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Don't you be trespassing on my ethnicity snatching up our
groovy names? Huh?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Never thought about that before.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Name appropriation.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
We yeah, exactly, name appropriation. Well, I'm glad I didn't
accidentally do it.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Here's a little Irish name trivia because it always annoys me.
The paddy wagon is not the paddy wagon. It's the
pad d wagon with d's And it's not short for
Patrick Patrick. It's short for padrig p A d r
A I G. The paddy wagon a slur against my people.
And if you want a drunk punch in the face,
(11:30):
you'll keep saying paddy wagon.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Okay, it's facts.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, take that, you bigots. Hey Katie, have you had
any weird food cravings that happened my sister, my mom?
I have.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
I cannot stop eating salt and vinegar chips and I
I see Sultan vinegar.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I actually funny story.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
I went to the store the other day to pick
up some stuff for my mom and dad, and I
got the things, and then I also went down the
chip aisle and bought four bags of salt and vinegar
chips plus a Pringles container because I had other errands
to run and didn't want to open a bag. But
I knew that the Pringles container would fit in my
(12:15):
cup holder in my car.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's just in your cup holder chip holders. Awesome. Yeah,
that's just good thinking. Well, you don't want to run
out in inclement weather or something like that.

be dangerous for other people if I ran out on a.
