Jaimee (00:00):
Welcome to Caught Between a Tie and High Heels.
It is Wednesday, the 8th ofJuly 2025.
This week's episode we're goingto talk about weird stuff.
That makes me the unique littlesnowflake that I am.
So grab a gallon of somethingcold, sit on a block of ice and
let's do this, let's do this,let's do it, let's do it.
Hello, all my beautifullisteners.
(00:42):
Hey, welcome to the episode.
I need to.
First of all, we're going to getsome business out of the way.
I got to apologize.
I know I didn't do an episodelast week.
I was suffering and I know I'mlate this week, but again I've
been off and on this fuckingheat wave, oh my God, as we like
to say around here in thehomestead.
(01:03):
It is like it's fucking hot asballs outside.
I don't know what this heatwave is.
It's like going on, but like Idon't think anywhere is safe,
not even in the north.
They're just sweating bullets,you know, in all sorts of places
around here.
It's just crazy.
And of course, the barometricpressure has an effect on my
(01:26):
migraines.
So that's what was killing me.
Last week I was down and outfor the count.
I had to go get a newprescription filled and I can't
think of the medicine that it is.
But basically, if you catch itin time or you've got to, as
soon as you start feeling thatthat migraine is, you start
getting light sensitive orwhatever.
You get this, you take a pilland it just I mean it fucking
(01:47):
knocks you out.
But the good news is you don'thave the migraine anymore.
So, yeah, I had to take acouple of those in the last week
and I'm still not 100%.
My sinuses are still likeraging.
Yesterday we had rain a littlebit and it just fucked with my
(02:09):
head.
I hate it.
I can't.
The temperature dropped, youknow, and like, if it does from
really really hot to like 10degrees down, I'm screwed.
So I really apologize that Ididn't want you to think that I
was getting back into my habitof not doing anything Because we
were really getting going, youknow, with everything.
But anyway, I just wanted toapologize.
(02:31):
I am doing better.
So I've got my drugs, we're okay.
I've got my tea.
I've got my iced tea.
Oh my god, I love that shit.
Okay, it's really.
It's an addiction.
I'm not joking, my tea is anaddiction.
Now I've cut myself off of soda.
I don't know if anybody elsehas gone through this crap, the
(02:51):
withdrawal that I have from notdrinking soda, and I've
channeled it all into half andhalf tea, half sweet, half
unsweet.
God almighty, it's likecracking a fucking cup for me.
Anyway, I'm getting way offtopic.
This was something that actuallycame up a couple of times.
Dee and I were walking aroundand, like I don't know, there
(03:15):
were things that like, really,really Like, I'm the only person
that does this.
Are you kidding me?
So we're going to take a lookat a few things in depth.
Look, if you will of, is itjust me?
Am I the only one who does this?
I mean stupid stuff, and I willwarn you ahead of time that a
lot of it has to do with eating.
I never really realized howmuch of a foodie I mean.
(03:38):
I love cooking, I love, youknow, finding out new dishes and
tasting new dishes, and thattype of stuff, as long as it's,
you know, meets my requirements,because I do have a couple of
restrictions here and there.
But I didn't realize.
Once I started writing allthese down, I was like, holy
shit, there's a lot of thesethat are food related.
So, anyway, you might gethungry after this, but we'll,
(04:00):
you know, that's another podcastin another episode.
All right, the first one we'regoing to do is that.
Is it just me, or am I the onlyone that turns just about any
meal into a sandwich?
Now, I'm not joking about this.
I love sandwiches and aroundour house here at the Homestead,
once again, we call itsandwiches because anybody can
(04:23):
make a sandwich.
I mean anybody's.
You know any Joe Blow on the.
Anybody can make a sandwich.
I mean anybody's.
You know any joe blow on theneighborhood can do a sandwich.
You know, you throw a piece ofbologna and a cheese, you smack
it between two breads and that'sa sandwich, you know.
But it's not a sandwich.
So I know that there's peopleout there I know that it's not
just me that calls it that.
Anyway, I will turn literallyanything if there's bread within
(04:47):
arm's reach.
I don't give a shit if I'meating.
Let's see.
Well, spaghetti Spaghetti wasthe first one.
When I was a kid, anybody dowhat we called a bender.
Growing up, you basically youget a couple of pieces of bread.
My dad always had bread, twoslices of white bread, with
(05:08):
every meal and he always drank aglass of milk After that.
He would drink coffee for therest of the day Didn't matter.
I never saw the man actuallyphysically drink water.
It was coffee all day, milk formeals and two pieces of bread,
and then, of course, he had hismain entree or the plate of food
.
But this is what my dad woulddo, is he would use it in order
(05:29):
to be able to sop up all thestuff and everything else.
Well, when we did spaghetti, youend up curling that up and, for
me, you kind of fold it in atriangle shape, you put the, the
noodles that are on your fork,you pull that out and again my
mom always made meat sauce, soit was perfect a little bit of
parm cheese on that.
You just went to town.
(05:49):
I don't see anything wrong withthat, not at all.
And then I got really fancy asI grew older and then I started
doing open face sandwiches ortartine, where it's just
literally one piece of toast andI I know that's not a sandwich,
but it's still.
It's incorporating these things.
And even if it wasn't on theanywhere on, I will ask for
(06:13):
bread sometimes.
That's something that's reallyweird with this.
Is that like if we go out toeat, can I get, is there any
rolls, or do you have any?
I will.
I will do that.
I've only done it a couple oftimes, but it's just like I was
just dying for some kind of asandwich.
So anyway, yeah, that's me.
I can't be the only person thatdoes that.
(06:34):
I really can't like cordon bleu, beef stroganoff, chicken pot
pie.
I mean any of these things Iwould.
I'm trying to think of whatelse, what else, what else, what
else?
Oh, southern style green beansI have turned into a sandwich.
I'm not shitting Cheese, greenbeans, you know southern style.
(06:56):
They've got onion in there, alittle bit of bacon oh man,
that's so fucking good, yep.
So there you go, that's I turnjust about any meal into a
sandwich.
Uh, okay, here's another one.
This one's gonna be a littlehard to explain, but I don't
think I've ever seen anybodyelse do this, so I'm except for
(07:16):
the people that were in mykindergarten class, I think
we're the only ones in the world.
Thank you to mrs polanski, whotaught us how to do this.
Am I the only one that ties myshoes using the bunny ear method
?
Now, if you don't know what I'mtalking about, then you
definitely don't do it, becauseit's like I'm going to try to
(07:39):
explain this, but I don't thinkI'm going to do a very good job.
So there's a story about how tolearn to tie your shoes, and I
still remember it as the fox andthe bunny, and so the whole
thing is that you've got the fox, you're holding your two ends
of your shoestrings in bothhands.
In one hand you've got the fox,in the other hand you've got
the rabbit, and they startheading towards each other, but
(08:02):
they dodge and they weave, andthen that's when you form the
basis of the knot, and then fromthere, the fox loses the bunny,
but then, all of a sudden, theears pop up.
And this is where you take yourfirst finger of both hands and
you make bunny ears and you holdthe bottom of the bunny ears
with your thumb in your middlefinger, and then what you do is
(08:24):
the story goes is that the foxsaw the bunny ears?
Well, in your middle finger.
And then what you do is thestory goes is that the fox saw
the bunny ears?
Well, then they got into afight and the bunny ears went
everywhere.
And this way, and next thingyou know, and then the bunny's
ears go in opposite directions.
You're now twirling them.
You know making a knot withthem and you twirl them in
opposite directions and that'sthe bunny ears, if that made any
kind of sense.
(08:44):
You are not the only person thatdoes that.
And then I'm not the onlyperson that does that.
But is this really weirdBecause I've had people point
this out to me that I tie myshoe funky, like my own brother
bet me that if he tied my shoeone shoe in his way, my shoe,
you know, another shoe in my waywe'll see who comes undone
(09:07):
first, and sure as shit it washis.
The normal method where youmake the loop, you loop around
that and you pull that throughand then that's the tie.
I can't do that.
I don't know what it is.
It's very strange, but am I theonly person who does that?
All right, am I the only person, or am I the only one who does
(09:29):
this of having trouble going ona roller coaster that doesn't
have over the shoulder straps?
I don't know how many badassroller coasters that I have
passed up that don't have.
I want to feel secure.
You know, I hate these littleclips with the lap bar and
that's it.
And now some of them are comingdown where they've got the
(09:50):
harness from overhead and theycome down and they clip onto
your legs, the top of your legs,and kind of sandwich your
thighs in there.
But no, no, no, I don't wantthat.
I don't feel secure there.
I want a vest of safety when Iride a roller coaster.
I don't know what it is, but Iwill.
I have a very, very, verydifficult time in riding a
(10:12):
roller coaster that doesn't haveshoulder straps.
You know like you're buckled in.
I will tell you my favoriteroller coaster of all time.
Luckily, my favorite rollercoaster is it's either Cheetah
Hunt or Cheetah Run.
Um, in Orlando or Tampa, excuseme, busch Gardens, tampa.
(10:35):
That is a cool fucking ride.
I love that ride I got we rodeit one time, dee, and I rode
that, I think, five times in arow.
It was insane man.
But yeah, I can't be the onlyone that feels that way.
All right, moving on, here'sanother eating one.
Am I the only one who buttersmy corn on the cob by using a
(11:00):
piece of bread with a tab ofbutter on it?
So, basically, you hold thebread in your palm, it's got a
tab of butter on it.
So, basically, you hold thebread in your palm, it's got a
tab of butter in it.
It doesn't have to be melted oranything else like that.
You just have the tab of butterin there.
You then place the hot it's gotto be hot like straight out of
the pot ear of corn, and thenyou basically run it back and
(11:22):
forth as you gently squeeze,almost like you're doing a
bender, as I described earlier.
But then you're rolling the earof corn in the bread.
What's happening is it'll meltthe butter, butter the bread and
it also butters the ear of corn.
I don't know where I picked thatup, whether or not it was my
dad, or it must have been myfather, I guess I don't know.
(11:45):
But I can't remember when Ifirst started doing it.
But I can't be the only one whodoes that.
I can't be the only one who hasthought of that, because it's
genius, you get a and it'sdelicious, you know.
(12:05):
But here's the thing you can't.
One time I tried to put blackpepper on the bread and I
thought, ooh, it's going totransfer.
No, I just ended up withbuttered, peppered bread and
I've got to be honest with you.
A regular piece of of Sarah Lee,you know, or Sarah Jane, bread,
(12:26):
bread, uh, that's got butterand pepper on it.
I mean it's not the most.
I mean I hate it, of course,but you know it's not the most
appealing.
Um, but yeah, I can't be theonly one that does that.
I just I can't fathom that I'mthe only person that does that.
Um, let's see, let's see, let'ssee.
Uh, oh, here we go.
(12:48):
This is yet another food onelike I can't figure out where my
place is on this stupid paper.
Uh, okay, here's another one.
I can't am I the only one whodoes this finds an overcooked,
thin pointed french fry in mypacket of fries.
No matter where you're gettingthem from, it doesn't matter,
even at a restaurant, it doesn'tmatter but you find a
(13:10):
overcooked, like really crispy,thin pointed one and then use it
as a toothpick to pick up otherfrench fries and eat them.
You know, dip them in theketchup and then eat them that
way.
I can't.
I do that've been doing.
I am 55 fucking years old and Istill eat, like this Dee
(13:31):
pointed out.
The other day we were, westopped a moment of weakness and
had some fast food and bought apacket of fries and, lo and
behold, I'm sitting therewithout even thinking about it.
Her and I are having a fullblown discussion about something
completely unrelated to food.
And I start picking up the one,the one little gristly like
(13:55):
hard charred up piece of Frenchfry that's hard as a rock and
it's pointed, and I startstabbing larger French fries
with it and just eating it LikeI'm doing hors d'oeuvres off of
a serving plate.
I don't think there's anythingwrong with that.
Oh and in a uh, in a um, yeah,that one.
(14:17):
So in adjacent to this are uh,along with the same idea.
I cannot be and I know this isa fact simply for the fact that
I know that there's people inEurope that do that or do what
I'm about to say.
But I found after my time ofliving in Germany, you mix
(14:38):
ketchup with mustard.
You can't get this pre-mixedstuff.
I think Heinz actually has aketchup and mustard, that a mix
already.
It doesn't work out right.
I've tried it a couple of times.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
You've got to get a big youknow of mustard or, excuse me,
mayonnaise, and then you've gotto do another one of ketchup mix
(14:59):
that with a fry, and thenyou've got something going on
there.
But I can't be the only American.
So I know that the European,but I can't be the only american
, so I know that the european,but I can't be the only american
that is into that.
I don't think so.
I think that's there's verycommon.
I mean, at least I'd like tothink that it would be.
So, yeah, um, okay, here's one,and I know where I got this
(15:25):
from.
Am I the only one who eats oruses chopsticks to eat popcorn
or Cheetos?
Now, I got this from a coworkerwho said that she ate popcorn
with chopsticks and I was likethat's actually a really good
idea.
(15:45):
The logic behind this, and I'vegot to express to you the logic
behind this.
First of all and you can attestto this, with Cheetos, anybody
ever eat Cheetos or cheese puffsor something like anything that
is that type of a snack you caneat with chopsticks.
And the reason is you get allthat powdered shit all over your
finger and I mean I realized,yes, that's some of the goodness
(16:08):
that you, you know, lick offand everything else.
But after a while I mean, myfingers are old and they start
to prune if I lick my fingersfor too long, but it's also
messy, you don't need to touchsomething else.
You end up getting that orangeshit all over the place and I
don't want to do it.
Also, same thing with popcorn,butter, salt, blah, blah, blah,
(16:28):
blah, blah.
The oils from the you knowcooking.
It gets everywhere.
I don't want the mess.
So when I saw my coworker dothis, I thought that's a genius
fucking idea.
I that was like.
The logic with that made somuch sense.
So ever since then that's beenoh my God, when was that?
2014, no god, even earlier.
(16:52):
No, 2014, 15 somewhere aroundin there.
So literally a good 10 years nowthat I've been eating, and so I
know that I'm not the only onethere.
There is one other but her andI cannot be the only people that
do this.
So it's not a completely is itjust me?
Because I know it's not just me, because she's the one that
(17:14):
taught it to me, but we can't bethe only ones that do this.
I don't think that it's weird.
Dee thinks it's really kind ofstrange, because when we pop
corn here at the house, then Ialways whip out the.
I've got metal chopsticks and Ialways break them out, and
that's how I eat my popcorn,plus the other benefit to it.
(17:37):
I'm going to add this on theother benefit is that you don't
sit there and gorge yourselflike a handful of popcorn, or
shove it all in your mouth andyou can't even breathe, or
anything else.
It forces you to eat slower andenjoy the popcorn more.
Or, of course, the cheetos orthe cheesy puffs or whatever
else that you are hence snacking.
It does not work very well.
(17:57):
The peanuts, by the way, itdoesn't work very well.
Cashews not bad, peanuts not somuch.
Okay, okay, okay, I cannot.
Am I the only one that talksback to audio books?
I like stories.
I don't see that there'sanything wrong with this, but it
(18:18):
has been brought to myattention that I will do this,
and sometimes I do itunconsciously.
It just sort of it's a reactionthat I do.
Or the other part about this isI take on facial expressions
that are described in the book.
I don't really realize that I'mdoing that half the time.
(18:40):
Dee saw me washing dishes onetime and I'm listening to my
book, not on earphones.
Dishes one time and I'mlistening to my book, not on
earphones, but just, you know,having my phone play it.
And it said that you know,so-and-so raised an eyebrow.
My eyebrows raised up,so-and-so, you know, looked at
him with a shock and awe.
I did a shock and awe face.
(19:00):
I had no idea, but then I alsotalked back to it.
Like there was a series, a twobook series that I ended up
doing and the author was verygood.
I like the character building.
However, they made thecharacter, the main protagonist,
a bit too stupid.
A bit too stupid, while I'myelling at them, at the
(19:25):
protagonist, because they'rejust not understanding the key
points of the clues that they'vealready seen and you know that
type of stuff in order to beable to get this, the mystery,
taken care of or solve the issuethat they're trying to take
care of.
So I talk, I talk to the audiobooks.
I don't think there's anythingwrong with that, but am I the
(19:47):
only one that does it or doesanyone?
Just, you know, keep quiet andlisten to the books.
I mean, I also sometimes yellat movies, so I mean kind of the
same thing.
I guess I don't know all right,uh, onward and upward, uh, this
one's kind of funny uh.
Am I the only one who buys ayearly planner and then never
(20:10):
uses it?
I have got one, two, three,three yearly, uh calendars that
I purchased back last august,last August, okay, so it was the
, the, the final months of 2024and all of this year haven't
(20:31):
written a single thing in them,not one.
Not one thing in any of them.
And they're awesome notebooks.
Why do I do this?
Why do I buy more than one?
I, I have no idea.
I have no idea.
I know that this is probably anillness and this goes to.
Actually, what's really funnyis that this goes to the next
(20:55):
thing, that I can't be the onlyperson.
It kind of ties in I can't bethe only person.
At least I don't think that Iam, maybe I am, I don't know.
I cannot make it out of anoffice supply store without
buying something like a planner,a yearly planner or something
I'm.
Also, I am such a pen snob, Ihave to tell you I am.
(21:17):
I am a huge pen snob a personlocally that shows up at the art
festivals and will make penslike hand spun wooden pens or
lathe pens.
But there's also uh, right nowI'm kind of fixated on this.
(21:37):
Um, I'm trying to see if I'vegot one around me.
Hold on, yep, I'm very wellorganized.
If you haven't been able totell shit, uh, hold on, yep, I'm
very well organized.
If you haven't been able totell Shit, hold on.
No, I don't know, fuck it, Idon't know.
Nope, I don't have one.
(21:59):
Anyway, it's a Inkjoy but it'sa stick pen, you know, like a
Bic stick pen, and they are thesmoothest excuse me, the
smoothest writing pens.
I'm still looking around seeingif I can see one here close by,
but I don't see any.
I also like quill pens.
(22:21):
So going into an office supplystore, this is very dangerous
for me because one of the fewthings that I will go is I will
go into organization because I'madhd, pretty much, I think,
undiagnosed.
I'm self-diagnosing by sayingthat because I like the hyper
organized shit that's not in myimmediate work area.
Um, I love these things, soI'll go down that aisle.
(22:43):
I'll then the next one that Igo to is the notebook or ledger
aisle where you see the planners, the yearly planners, and then
I go to the pens.
That's my dessert, if you will,is the pen aisle at the office
supplies store.
Only person that feels this way?
(23:03):
That's why they have these bigstores, at least in my opinion,
that's why they have them.
It's for folks like me thatcan't control themselves.
So I can't go down that.
I can't go down to that storewithout knowing or having adult
supervision.
Dee's got to go with me becauseshe keeps me honest.
(23:24):
And I was like, do we reallyneed that?
I mean you have me because shekeeps me honest.
And I was like, do we reallyneed that?
I mean you have, I don't evenknow.
I mean I'm looking right now.
I'm looking right now.
I've got so many sets ofmarkers.
It is kind of embarrassing.
I am a 55 year old grown asswoman.
Yeah, very proud of that.
Okay, moving on.
We're not going to dwell onthat.
(23:46):
That's you Moving on.
Am I the only one that when I'mfilling up my car, I only stop
the gas pump at the quarterdollar?
So that would be like, you know, $10.25 or $10.50 or $10.75 or
the whole number like $11.
Am I the only one that doesthat?
(24:07):
I also really love quarters.
I don't know whether or notthat has anything to do with it,
but it's like if I paid cash,then I get quarters back and the
quarters means that they gointo my quarter piggy bank,
because I have a piggy bank justfor quarters.
I live a very complicated life.
I hope you all aren't judgingme, but this is just what makes
(24:30):
again me the unique littlesnowflake that I am Moving on
All right.
I cannot be the only person andI think this has to do with a
little touch of OCD that I have,or ADHD, I don't know.
There's some letters that areinvolved.
I cannot just let a power cordlie loose.
I have to wrap it up.
I have to organize it in someway, either wrapping it around
(24:55):
something or making sure it'stied off with a rubber band, a
twist tie, a hair elastic,something in order to organize
that thing.
I cannot have.
It's just so bothersome.
The back of my computer all thecords are all wrapped up,
they're all connected, they'reall zip wired together or zip
(25:17):
tied together.
The back of my computer all thecords are all wrapped up,
they're all connected, they'reall zip-wired together or
zip-tied together.
I just can't.
I don't like the spaghetti.
I hate cords.
I love cordless shit.
We still cannot.
I'm not allowed to get acordless vacuum for the house.
We have one for upstairs and Iabsolutely love that thing,
absolutely love it.
I've got a cord for the bigmonster vacuum that we have
(25:41):
downstairs and I hate thefucking cord, cannot stand the
cord.
It just gets in my way andagain, I don't know if it has
anything to do with me not beingable to Christmas time.
Oh my God, I love all thepretty lights, but I've got to
wrap all that shit up.
I can't be the only person thatfeels this way.
(26:02):
Please, somebody Commiseratewith me, please.
Ugh, okay, okay, here's thelast one, and I'm sure there's
more.
I just these are the ones thatI really always get brought up
and get, you know, brought to myattention all the time.
(26:23):
Is it just me, or am I the onlyone that has to put on earrings
using a mirror?
Mirror, now, I will qualifythis as it's on my right side
only.
Now, here's the qualifier forthis.
I believe this is my theory.
I have discussed this with Dee.
Dee says that she doesn'tbelieve it and she's not buying
(26:44):
it.
But I'm telling you, I thinkthere's something to it.
I am so predominantlyleft-handed that I have no
problem taking and I have twoholes in my ears.
I have no problem taking and Ihave two holes in my ears.
I have no problem takingearrings and putting them in my
left ear without a problem, noproblem at all.
But I can't, for some reason,zero in on those holes using my
(27:06):
right hand or even my left, andthe holes in my right ear.
I have to line them up in amirror for some strange reason,
and I don't understand what itis, and she laughs at me.
Every time we're gettingdressed or we're getting ready
to go out, I'm putting on myearrings for the day.
She always gives me a rash inthe shit.
Can you believe that?
You know, I'm just, I don'tknow.
(27:31):
I mean, I love her but stillgotta ration a shit because I
can't put my right earrings inwithout looking in a mirror.
So there you go.
There's me, uh, some of my, awindow, if you will, into the
idiosyncrasies of what it is tobe one Jamie, uh, queen of
(27:53):
weirdness, I guess.
Um, and co-chairman of the ittybitty, titty committee, there

That's me.
I'm feeling weird, I don't know, I'm feeling like punchy, I'm
just looking.

It's actually high gradealuminum, um and uh.
I've had customers that haveworn them for over 10 years and
they don't fade unless you likegrind them on and some of them

Welcome to Caught Between a Tie and High Heels.
It is Wednesday, the 8th ofJuly 2025.
This week's episode we're goingto talk about weird stuff.
That makes me the unique littlesnowflake that I am.
So grab a gallon of somethingcold, sit on a block of ice and
let's do this, let's do this,let's do it, let's do it.
Hello, all my beautifullisteners.
(00:42):
Hey, welcome to the episode.
I need to.
First of all, we're going to getsome business out of the way.
I got to apologize.
I know I didn't do an episodelast week.
I was suffering and I know I'mlate this week, but again I've
been off and on this fuckingheat wave, oh my God, as we like
to say around here in thehomestead.
(01:03):
It is like it's fucking hot asballs outside.
I don't know what this heatwave is.
It's like going on, but like Idon't think anywhere is safe,
not even in the north.
They're just sweating bullets,you know, in all sorts of places
around here.
It's just crazy.
And of course, the barometricpressure has an effect on my
(01:26):
migraines.
So that's what was killing me.
Last week I was down and outfor the count.
I had to go get a newprescription filled and I can't
think of the medicine that it is.
But basically, if you catch itin time or you've got to, as
soon as you start feeling thatthat migraine is, you start
getting light sensitive orwhatever.
You get this, you take a pilland it just I mean it fucking
(01:47):
knocks you out.
But the good news is you don'thave the migraine anymore.
So, yeah, I had to take acouple of those in the last week
and I'm still not 100%.
My sinuses are still likeraging.
Yesterday we had rain a littlebit and it just fucked with my
(02:09):
head.
I hate it.
I can't.
The temperature dropped, youknow, and like, if it does from
really really hot to like 10degrees down, I'm screwed.
So I really apologize that Ididn't want you to think that I
was getting back into my habitof not doing anything Because we
were really getting going, youknow, with everything.
But anyway, I just wanted toapologize.
(02:31):
I am doing better.
So I've got my drugs, we're okay.
I've got my tea.
I've got my iced tea.
Oh my god, I love that shit.
Okay, it's really.
It's an addiction.
I'm not joking, my tea is anaddiction.
Now I've cut myself off of soda.
I don't know if anybody elsehas gone through this crap, the
(02:51):
withdrawal that I have from notdrinking soda, and I've
channeled it all into half andhalf tea, half sweet, half
unsweet.
God almighty, it's likecracking a fucking cup for me.
Anyway, I'm getting way offtopic.
This was something that actuallycame up a couple of times.
Dee and I were walking aroundand, like I don't know, there
(03:15):
were things that like, really,really Like, I'm the only person
that does this.
Are you kidding me?
So we're going to take a lookat a few things in depth.
Look, if you will of, is itjust me?
Am I the only one who does this?
I mean stupid stuff, and I willwarn you ahead of time that a
lot of it has to do with eating.
I never really realized howmuch of a foodie I mean.
(03:38):
I love cooking, I love, youknow, finding out new dishes and
tasting new dishes, and thattype of stuff, as long as it's,
you know, meets my requirements,because I do have a couple of
restrictions here and there.
But I didn't realize.
Once I started writing allthese down, I was like, holy
shit, there's a lot of thesethat are food related.
So, anyway, you might gethungry after this, but we'll,
(04:00):
you know, that's another podcastin another episode.
All right, the first one we'regoing to do is that.
Is it just me, or am I the onlyone that turns just about any
meal into a sandwich?
Now, I'm not joking about this.
I love sandwiches and aroundour house here at the Homestead,
once again, we call itsandwiches because anybody can
(04:23):
make a sandwich.
I mean anybody's.
You know any Joe Blow on the.
Anybody can make a sandwich.
I mean anybody's.
You know any joe blow on theneighborhood can do a sandwich.
You know, you throw a piece ofbologna and a cheese, you smack
it between two breads and that'sa sandwich, you know.
But it's not a sandwich.
So I know that there's peopleout there I know that it's not
just me that calls it that.
Anyway, I will turn literallyanything if there's bread within
(04:47):
arm's reach.
I don't give a shit if I'meating.
Let's see.
Well, spaghetti Spaghetti wasthe first one.
When I was a kid, anybody dowhat we called a bender.
Growing up, you basically youget a couple of pieces of bread.
My dad always had bread, twoslices of white bread, with
(05:08):
every meal and he always drank aglass of milk After that.
He would drink coffee for therest of the day Didn't matter.
I never saw the man actuallyphysically drink water.
It was coffee all day, milk formeals and two pieces of bread,
and then, of course, he had hismain entree or the plate of food
.
But this is what my dad woulddo, is he would use it in order
(05:29):
to be able to sop up all thestuff and everything else.
Well, when we did spaghetti, youend up curling that up and, for
me, you kind of fold it in atriangle shape, you put the, the
noodles that are on your fork,you pull that out and again my
mom always made meat sauce, soit was perfect a little bit of
parm cheese on that.
You just went to town.
(05:49):
I don't see anything wrong withthat, not at all.
And then I got really fancy asI grew older and then I started
doing open face sandwiches ortartine, where it's just
literally one piece of toast andI I know that's not a sandwich,
but it's still.
It's incorporating these things.
And even if it wasn't on theanywhere on, I will ask for
(06:13):
bread sometimes.
That's something that's reallyweird with this.
Is that like if we go out toeat, can I get, is there any
rolls, or do you have any?
I will.
I will do that.
I've only done it a couple oftimes, but it's just like I was
just dying for some kind of asandwich.
So anyway, yeah, that's me.
I can't be the only person thatdoes that.
(06:34):
I really can't like cordon bleu, beef stroganoff, chicken pot
pie.
I mean any of these things Iwould.
I'm trying to think of whatelse, what else, what else, what
else?
Oh, southern style green beansI have turned into a sandwich.
I'm not shitting Cheese, greenbeans, you know southern style.
(06:56):
They've got onion in there, alittle bit of bacon oh man,
that's so fucking good, yep.
So there you go, that's I turnjust about any meal into a
sandwich.
Uh, okay, here's another one.
This one's gonna be a littlehard to explain, but I don't
think I've ever seen anybodyelse do this, so I'm except for
(07:16):
the people that were in mykindergarten class, I think
we're the only ones in the world.
Thank you to mrs polanski, whotaught us how to do this.
Am I the only one that ties myshoes using the bunny ear method
?
Now, if you don't know what I'mtalking about, then you
definitely don't do it, becauseit's like I'm going to try to
(07:39):
explain this, but I don't thinkI'm going to do a very good job.
So there's a story about how tolearn to tie your shoes, and I
still remember it as the fox andthe bunny, and so the whole
thing is that you've got the fox, you're holding your two ends
of your shoestrings in bothhands.
In one hand you've got the fox,in the other hand you've got
the rabbit, and they startheading towards each other, but
(08:02):
they dodge and they weave, andthen that's when you form the
basis of the knot, and then fromthere, the fox loses the bunny,
but then, all of a sudden, theears pop up.
And this is where you take yourfirst finger of both hands and
you make bunny ears and you holdthe bottom of the bunny ears
with your thumb in your middlefinger, and then what you do is
(08:24):
the story goes is that the foxsaw the bunny ears?
Well, in your middle finger.
And then what you do is thestory goes is that the fox saw
the bunny ears?
Well, then they got into afight and the bunny ears went
everywhere.
And this way, and next thingyou know, and then the bunny's
ears go in opposite directions.
You're now twirling them.
You know making a knot withthem and you twirl them in
opposite directions and that'sthe bunny ears, if that made any
kind of sense.
(08:44):
You are not the only person thatdoes that.
And then I'm not the onlyperson that does that.
But is this really weirdBecause I've had people point
this out to me that I tie myshoe funky, like my own brother
bet me that if he tied my shoeone shoe in his way, my shoe,
you know, another shoe in my waywe'll see who comes undone
(09:07):
first, and sure as shit it washis.
The normal method where youmake the loop, you loop around
that and you pull that throughand then that's the tie.
I can't do that.
I don't know what it is.
It's very strange, but am I theonly person who does that?
All right, am I the only person, or am I the only one who does
(09:29):
this of having trouble going ona roller coaster that doesn't
have over the shoulder straps?
I don't know how many badassroller coasters that I have
passed up that don't have.
I want to feel secure.
You know, I hate these littleclips with the lap bar and
that's it.
And now some of them are comingdown where they've got the
(09:50):
harness from overhead and theycome down and they clip onto
your legs, the top of your legs,and kind of sandwich your
thighs in there.
But no, no, no, I don't wantthat.
I don't feel secure there.
I want a vest of safety when Iride a roller coaster.
I don't know what it is, but Iwill.
I have a very, very, verydifficult time in riding a
(10:12):
roller coaster that doesn't haveshoulder straps.
You know like you're buckled in.
I will tell you my favoriteroller coaster of all time.
Luckily, my favorite rollercoaster is it's either Cheetah
Hunt or Cheetah Run.
Um, in Orlando or Tampa, excuseme, busch Gardens, tampa.
(10:35):
That is a cool fucking ride.
I love that ride I got we rodeit one time, dee, and I rode
that, I think, five times in arow.
It was insane man.
But yeah, I can't be the onlyone that feels that way.
All right, moving on, here'sanother eating one.
Am I the only one who buttersmy corn on the cob by using a
(11:00):
piece of bread with a tab ofbutter on it?
So, basically, you hold thebread in your palm, it's got a
tab of butter on it.
So, basically, you hold thebread in your palm, it's got a
tab of butter in it.
It doesn't have to be melted oranything else like that.
You just have the tab of butterin there.
You then place the hot it's gotto be hot like straight out of
the pot ear of corn, and thenyou basically run it back and
(11:22):
forth as you gently squeeze,almost like you're doing a
bender, as I described earlier.
But then you're rolling the earof corn in the bread.
What's happening is it'll meltthe butter, butter the bread and
it also butters the ear of corn.
I don't know where I picked thatup, whether or not it was my
dad, or it must have been myfather, I guess I don't know.
(11:45):
But I can't remember when Ifirst started doing it.
But I can't be the only one whodoes that.
I can't be the only one who hasthought of that, because it's
genius, you get a and it'sdelicious, you know.
(12:05):
But here's the thing you can't.
One time I tried to put blackpepper on the bread and I
thought, ooh, it's going totransfer.
No, I just ended up withbuttered, peppered bread and
I've got to be honest with you.
A regular piece of of Sarah Lee,you know, or Sarah Jane, bread,
(12:26):
bread, uh, that's got butterand pepper on it.
I mean it's not the most.
I mean I hate it, of course,but you know it's not the most
appealing.
Um, but yeah, I can't be theonly one that does that.
I just I can't fathom that I'mthe only person that does that.
Um, let's see, let's see, let'ssee.
Uh, oh, here we go.
(12:48):
This is yet another food onelike I can't figure out where my
place is on this stupid paper.
Uh, okay, here's another one.
I can't am I the only one whodoes this finds an overcooked,
thin pointed french fry in mypacket of fries.
No matter where you're gettingthem from, it doesn't matter,
even at a restaurant, it doesn'tmatter but you find a
(13:10):
overcooked, like really crispy,thin pointed one and then use it
as a toothpick to pick up otherfrench fries and eat them.
You know, dip them in theketchup and then eat them that
way.
I can't.
I do that've been doing.
I am 55 fucking years old and Istill eat, like this Dee
(13:31):
pointed out.
The other day we were, westopped a moment of weakness and
had some fast food and bought apacket of fries and, lo and
behold, I'm sitting therewithout even thinking about it.
Her and I are having a fullblown discussion about something
completely unrelated to food.
And I start picking up the one,the one little gristly like
(13:55):
hard charred up piece of Frenchfry that's hard as a rock and
it's pointed, and I startstabbing larger French fries
with it and just eating it LikeI'm doing hors d'oeuvres off of
a serving plate.
I don't think there's anythingwrong with that.
Oh and in a uh, in a um, yeah,that one.
(14:17):
So in adjacent to this are uh,along with the same idea.
I cannot be and I know this isa fact simply for the fact that
I know that there's people inEurope that do that or do what
I'm about to say.
But I found after my time ofliving in Germany, you mix
(14:38):
ketchup with mustard.
You can't get this pre-mixedstuff.
I think Heinz actually has aketchup and mustard, that a mix
already.
It doesn't work out right.
I've tried it a couple of times.
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
You've got to get a big youknow of mustard or, excuse me,
mayonnaise, and then you've gotto do another one of ketchup mix
(14:59):
that with a fry, and thenyou've got something going on
there.
But I can't be the only American.
So I know that the European,but I can't be the only american
, so I know that the european,but I can't be the only american
that is into that.
I don't think so.
I think that's there's verycommon.
I mean, at least I'd like tothink that it would be.
So, yeah, um, okay, here's one,and I know where I got this
(15:25):
from.
Am I the only one who eats oruses chopsticks to eat popcorn
or Cheetos?
Now, I got this from a coworkerwho said that she ate popcorn
with chopsticks and I was likethat's actually a really good
idea.
(15:45):
The logic behind this, and I'vegot to express to you the logic
behind this.
First of all and you can attestto this, with Cheetos, anybody
ever eat Cheetos or cheese puffsor something like anything that
is that type of a snack you caneat with chopsticks.
And the reason is you get allthat powdered shit all over your
finger and I mean I realized,yes, that's some of the goodness
(16:08):
that you, you know, lick offand everything else.
But after a while I mean, myfingers are old and they start
to prune if I lick my fingersfor too long, but it's also
messy, you don't need to touchsomething else.
You end up getting that orangeshit all over the place and I
don't want to do it.
Also, same thing with popcorn,butter, salt, blah, blah, blah,
(16:28):
blah, blah.
The oils from the you knowcooking.
It gets everywhere.
I don't want the mess.
So when I saw my coworker dothis, I thought that's a genius
fucking idea.
I that was like.
The logic with that made somuch sense.
So ever since then that's beenoh my God, when was that?
2014, no god, even earlier.
(16:52):
No, 2014, 15 somewhere aroundin there.
So literally a good 10 years nowthat I've been eating, and so I
know that I'm not the only onethere.
There is one other but her andI cannot be the only people that
do this.
So it's not a completely is itjust me?
Because I know it's not just me, because she's the one that
(17:14):
taught it to me, but we can't bethe only ones that do this.
I don't think that it's weird.
Dee thinks it's really kind ofstrange, because when we pop
corn here at the house, then Ialways whip out the.
I've got metal chopsticks and Ialways break them out, and
that's how I eat my popcorn,plus the other benefit to it.
(17:37):
I'm going to add this on theother benefit is that you don't
sit there and gorge yourselflike a handful of popcorn, or
shove it all in your mouth andyou can't even breathe, or
anything else.
It forces you to eat slower andenjoy the popcorn more.
Or, of course, the cheetos orthe cheesy puffs or whatever
else that you are hence snacking.
It does not work very well.
(17:57):
The peanuts, by the way, itdoesn't work very well.
Cashews not bad, peanuts not somuch.
Okay, okay, okay, I cannot.
Am I the only one that talksback to audio books?
I like stories.
I don't see that there'sanything wrong with this, but it
(18:18):
has been brought to myattention that I will do this,
and sometimes I do itunconsciously.
It just sort of it's a reactionthat I do.
Or the other part about this isI take on facial expressions
that are described in the book.
I don't really realize that I'mdoing that half the time.
(18:40):
Dee saw me washing dishes onetime and I'm listening to my
book, not on earphones.
Dishes one time and I'mlistening to my book, not on
earphones, but just, you know,having my phone play it.
And it said that you know,so-and-so raised an eyebrow.
My eyebrows raised up,so-and-so, you know, looked at
him with a shock and awe.
I did a shock and awe face.
(19:00):
I had no idea, but then I alsotalked back to it.
Like there was a series, a twobook series that I ended up
doing and the author was verygood.
I like the character building.
However, they made thecharacter, the main protagonist,
a bit too stupid.
A bit too stupid, while I'myelling at them, at the
(19:25):
protagonist, because they'rejust not understanding the key
points of the clues that they'vealready seen and you know that
type of stuff in order to beable to get this, the mystery,
taken care of or solve the issuethat they're trying to take
care of.
So I talk, I talk to the audiobooks.
I don't think there's anythingwrong with that, but am I the
(19:47):
only one that does it or doesanyone?
Just, you know, keep quiet andlisten to the books.
I mean, I also sometimes yellat movies, so I mean kind of the
same thing.
I guess I don't know all right,uh, onward and upward, uh, this
one's kind of funny uh.
Am I the only one who buys ayearly planner and then never
(20:10):
uses it?
I have got one, two, three,three yearly, uh calendars that
I purchased back last august,last August, okay, so it was the
, the, the final months of 2024and all of this year haven't
(20:31):
written a single thing in them,not one.
Not one thing in any of them.
And they're awesome notebooks.
Why do I do this?
Why do I buy more than one?
I, I have no idea.
I have no idea.
I know that this is probably anillness and this goes to.
Actually, what's really funnyis that this goes to the next
(20:55):
thing, that I can't be the onlyperson.
It kind of ties in I can't bethe only person.
At least I don't think that Iam, maybe I am, I don't know.
I cannot make it out of anoffice supply store without
buying something like a planner,a yearly planner or something
I'm.
Also, I am such a pen snob, Ihave to tell you I am.
(21:17):
I am a huge pen snob a personlocally that shows up at the art
festivals and will make penslike hand spun wooden pens or
lathe pens.
But there's also uh, right nowI'm kind of fixated on this.
(21:37):
Um, I'm trying to see if I'vegot one around me.
Hold on, yep, I'm very wellorganized.
If you haven't been able totell shit, uh, hold on, yep, I'm
very well organized.
If you haven't been able totell Shit, hold on.
No, I don't know, fuck it, Idon't know.
Nope, I don't have one.
(21:59):
Anyway, it's a Inkjoy but it'sa stick pen, you know, like a
Bic stick pen, and they are thesmoothest excuse me, the
smoothest writing pens.
I'm still looking around seeingif I can see one here close by,
but I don't see any.
I also like quill pens.
(22:21):
So going into an office supplystore, this is very dangerous
for me because one of the fewthings that I will go is I will
go into organization because I'madhd, pretty much, I think,
undiagnosed.
I'm self-diagnosing by sayingthat because I like the hyper
organized shit that's not in myimmediate work area.
Um, I love these things, soI'll go down that aisle.
(22:43):
I'll then the next one that Igo to is the notebook or ledger
aisle where you see the planners, the yearly planners, and then
I go to the pens.
That's my dessert, if you will,is the pen aisle at the office
supplies store.
Only person that feels this way?
(23:03):
That's why they have these bigstores, at least in my opinion,
that's why they have them.
It's for folks like me thatcan't control themselves.
So I can't go down that.
I can't go down to that storewithout knowing or having adult
supervision.
Dee's got to go with me becauseshe keeps me honest.
(23:24):
And I was like, do we reallyneed that?
I mean you have me because shekeeps me honest.
And I was like, do we reallyneed that?
I mean you have, I don't evenknow.
I mean I'm looking right now.
I'm looking right now.
I've got so many sets ofmarkers.
It is kind of embarrassing.
I am a 55 year old grown asswoman.
Yeah, very proud of that.
Okay, moving on.
We're not going to dwell onthat.
(23:46):
That's you Moving on.
Am I the only one that when I'mfilling up my car, I only stop
the gas pump at the quarterdollar?
So that would be like, you know, $10.25 or $10.50 or $10.75 or
the whole number like $11.
Am I the only one that doesthat?
(24:07):
I also really love quarters.
I don't know whether or notthat has anything to do with it,
but it's like if I paid cash,then I get quarters back and the
quarters means that they gointo my quarter piggy bank,
because I have a piggy bank justfor quarters.
I live a very complicated life.
I hope you all aren't judgingme, but this is just what makes
(24:30):
again me the unique littlesnowflake that I am Moving on
All right.
I cannot be the only person andI think this has to do with a
little touch of OCD that I have,or ADHD, I don't know.
There's some letters that areinvolved.
I cannot just let a power cordlie loose.
I have to wrap it up.
I have to organize it in someway, either wrapping it around
(24:55):
something or making sure it'stied off with a rubber band, a
twist tie, a hair elastic,something in order to organize
that thing.
I cannot have.
It's just so bothersome.
The back of my computer all thecords are all wrapped up,
they're all connected, they'reall zip wired together or zip
(25:17):
tied together.
The back of my computer all thecords are all wrapped up,
they're all connected, they'reall zip-wired together or
zip-tied together.
I just can't.
I don't like the spaghetti.
I hate cords.
I love cordless shit.
We still cannot.
I'm not allowed to get acordless vacuum for the house.
We have one for upstairs and Iabsolutely love that thing,
absolutely love it.
I've got a cord for the bigmonster vacuum that we have
(25:41):
downstairs and I hate thefucking cord, cannot stand the
cord.
It just gets in my way andagain, I don't know if it has
anything to do with me not beingable to Christmas time.
Oh my God, I love all thepretty lights, but I've got to
wrap all that shit up.
I can't be the only person thatfeels this way.
(26:02):
Please, somebody Commiseratewith me, please.
Ugh, okay, okay, here's thelast one, and I'm sure there's
more.
I just these are the ones thatI really always get brought up
and get, you know, brought to myattention all the time.
(26:23):
Is it just me, or am I the onlyone that has to put on earrings
using a mirror?
Mirror, now, I will qualifythis as it's on my right side
only.
Now, here's the qualifier forthis.
I believe this is my theory.
I have discussed this with Dee.
Dee says that she doesn'tbelieve it and she's not buying
(26:44):
it.
But I'm telling you, I thinkthere's something to it.
I am so predominantlyleft-handed that I have no
problem taking and I have twoholes in my ears.
I have no problem taking and Ihave two holes in my ears.
I have no problem takingearrings and putting them in my
left ear without a problem, noproblem at all.
But I can't, for some reason,zero in on those holes using my
(27:06):
right hand or even my left, andthe holes in my right ear.
I have to line them up in amirror for some strange reason,
and I don't understand what itis, and she laughs at me.
Every time we're gettingdressed or we're getting ready
to go out, I'm putting on myearrings for the day.
She always gives me a rash inthe shit.
Can you believe that?
You know, I'm just, I don'tknow.
(27:31):
I mean, I love her but stillgotta ration a shit because I
can't put my right earrings inwithout looking in a mirror.
So there you go.
There's me, uh, some of my, awindow, if you will, into the
idiosyncrasies of what it is tobe one Jamie, uh, queen of
(27:53):
weirdness, I guess.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
