quirks of being human.

everybody doing this lovely,dreary, miserable weather day?
It's nice.

Speaker 2 (00:30):

It's dangerous to drive in therain.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Yeah, I can't drive at night or in the rain, so I'm
solid.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I'm like, oh, my driver's busy, I can't get out.
How are you guys?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well, I have been.
I went to a body work sessiontoday, like just before this,
and it was so good and I learnedso much and it was so powerful
and I'm so sleepy now.
Like I'm so sleepy and it'slike I think it's like the

(01:23):
session was good and I drovehome in this like drizzly, gray,
dark, it looks like it's aboutto be night time and it's only
like four in the afternoon and Ithink it just kind of it kind
of kind of lulled meDa-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I never realized lull is where lullaby comes from.
I'm gonna lull you to sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Did you know that the Scottish word there's a
Scottish word for days liketoday?
No, and it's drich, drich,drich, and it means depressing,
miserable or cold.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
We need to adopt that phrase.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I learned that when I was in Scotland Drich, so how
would you use?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
it in a sentence.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It's pretty drich outside today.
Matey, that sounds like apirate, our pirates from
Scotland, drich whether on theScottish coast or a drich church
service.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
that's what are my options here.
Oh, like a dreary, it's likedreary maybe.
Yeah, just kind of like drich.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, now that we've covered the weather here in
Nashville Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
One of the most.
Do not talk about subjects.
Nobody is having the sameexperience.
You are, Kat.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, but now they understand why you would be
sleepy after what you've gonethrough.
But then also they've putthemselves in our drich kind of
day, and don't worry, I'll put agreat soundscape in here, so
everybody will know exactly whatit feels like.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, that is just awesome.
I had so much fun with you guyslast night.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
We did too.
No, it was really fun.
We thought we kind of watchedthe football game.
Let's say that we watchedMonday night football.
Yeah, we did.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
You were saying that.
You were saying that Mahomeslooked like he needed a spanking
.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
He does Like.
I love Mahomes and I think heis incredible and super
difficult to sack.
We're a sports podcast, by theway.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, we are.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's just like listening to the Manning
brothers or the Kelsey brothers.
We are here to talk football,guys, but what was I saying?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
You were saying that.
I said that.
You said oh gosh, wow, this isgoing well.
I said that.
You said that he looks like heneeds a spanking and that he got
one.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yes, so he always had like I have someone in mind
that he reminds me of I'll saythat much and he kind of looks
like him where he's always likehe just needs a little spanking,
like I don't want him to gettoo big for his britches is what
I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
And he is too big for his britches.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Sarah pointed that out last night.
Yeah, she thought that maybe heis actually.
He needs a half size up on hisbritches.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know that, britches coming, britches coming
a half size up?

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Sure they do, it's the NFL.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
They can make them whatever size they want.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
They're like men's pantyhose.
Wait, wait, wait.
Can you?
Will you share what you sharedwith us about his undies?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Oh yeah, I read this article that he on the Eli and
Peyton Manning podcast that heshared, that he wears the same
underwear for every game andonly washes them if they lose.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Well, I mean can we unpack that a little bit?

Speaker 2 (05:05):
So it says Patrick Mahomes underwear superstition
explained.
Chiefs quarterback confirms hewears the same lucky red pair
every game.
I love that they're red.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Especially because they're away uniforms are white.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
I know Like.
Can you see through thepantyhose?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
God, I hope so.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Anyway, on the Manning cast, he says that he
wears the same pair of underwear.
He revealed that Mahomes wasgifted the underwear by his wife
, brittany, and put them on in2017, his first season in the
NFL even though he only playedone game.
The Chiefs finished 10 and 6and he won the AFC West for the

(05:45):
second straight year.
That was good enough for him,so he began the tradition.
Mahomes said he's worn the samepair every game, but only
during game, so don't worry,they're not too worn down.
But when does he wash them?
Every once in a while, headmitted they don't get clean if
he's on a hot streak.
As long as I'm winning footballgames, I'll keep the

(06:05):
superstition going.
That is, by the way, an articleby Emily Dozier from the
Sporting News.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
So yeah, and I'm curious, like if we could talk
to his wife like like we're Katand Moose and they're like Eli
and Peyton, like kind of samedifference, right.
Like I wonder if we could talkto his wife and say, brittany,
like what were you thinking?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
boo, she just wanted to give him some of the
underwear I didn't think she hadin mind he wouldn't wash them,
right?
Yeah, that's a whole otherthing I would think of all
people.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
she wouldn't want that Right.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
When you guys travel, do you guys bring extra
underwear?
Mm-hmm, yes, Like, have youever thought through that?
Like, what?
Now, for women it can be alittle bit different because of
you know the things we have oncea month.
But otherwise, do men like, domen pack extra underwear?

(07:00):
And if so, are they were?
What are they worried about?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I think they do , and I think that I think
things happen also in theirpanties.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Oh God, what Again we need to?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
interview.
Wow, I mean, I totally.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
no, I don't want to interview a man and ask these
questions.
I would rather stay in amystery, I guess, wow.
I didn't think through thatbefore I asked the question.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Walked right into it.
All right, okay, moving on.
I know we love to highlight asponsor.

If you're a local, you knowabout this place that we have a
steakhouse here called CainPrime.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Not Kanye Prime.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Not Kanye Prime, but spelled similarly.
And they?
Their steak is unbelievable andyou need to know that, but we
need to talk about their sides,because they have.
Oh, come on, oh, maybe I couldmake popovers, oh popovers.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
It's basically like taking an egg and put a little
bit of flour with it and shakeit up and drop it into a deep
fryer.
Oh a vat of butter.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Isn't it?
I thought there's.
It isn't a fryer, I thought itwas baked.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
No, it baked.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
They have to get a little pan, a popover pan.
There's no way that's baked.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yes, it's baked with butter.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
And it is like melt-in-your-mouth.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, the creamed corn brûlée.

Everybody knows what thosethings are.
It's like a wait.
The High Court of Justice ruledthat Lee and parents did not
own the trademark for it.

identify the body that feel alot closer to reality than the
words we currently have.
So thank you.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, I've heard all kinds of different languages and
uses for the various body partsthat we have.
Yeah, and I'm sure thateveryone has these, but this was
producer Sarah's version.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I love it.
I hope that you're going toshare that on the internet.
It'll go viral.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Oh, I, sure will yeah .

Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know I speaking of the downtown area, something
about Thanksgiving has inspiredme lately to call any of the
downtown area, whether male orfemale or otherwise, they're
giblets that that's been mynewest term is has been saying
that around the house a lot.
I just been saying gibletsaround the house.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
I mean it's really in place of downtown, or oh yeah
it's like little gibbs, littlegiblets, you know.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Well, and you were last night, if I remember
exactly you.
You asked the room.
Has anyone twisted off anyone'snipple before?

Speaker 2 (17:04):
I said well, I don't think that's it.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's exactly what I said, oh what exactly did you
think it was a bit off?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Bit off.
I didn't say no, I am beingtaken out of context.
This is not who I am.
I nope, I'm not going there.
We should have had a microphonein the room, but that is not
exactly what I said.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Well, it might not have been exactly what you said,
but it was a question that welike, we looked around the room
and nobody was like racing theirhand.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
It was related to the football game we were watching,
because if I ever told you guysthe story, I'm I'm going to put
up a warning here right now forany men listening, because this
might be really difficult.
It's difficult for me and I'mfeeling nervous.
So I worked with this guy at arecord label and he he told me

(18:01):
the story of he and these guysin high school were all like
showering after a football gameand guys, as they do, were
rolling up their towels andsnapping each other in the butts
.
You know, and you know it wasjust a bunch of guys doing that
and one guy did it and he hitthe guys giblets area and one of

(18:26):
his giblets fell out of what ispackaged in and just went.
Oh no, it didn't.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Yes, it did Are you serious.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Apparently blood everywhere and it was like a
little yo-yo that came out ofits packaging and they had to
rush him to the hospital.
Now, how would you make that up?
You're the one that knows allabout the body.
Show me.
Show me an image of a man's theyo-yo, giblet.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
No, no, I do not claim.
I do not claim to have muchknowledge whatsoever of that.
I even said, like two podcastsago, that I have very little
experience with that.
It just seems like unlikely,Like well, I'm going to show you
.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Did he survive?
Is he okay?
Yeah, he ended up being okay.
I didn't know him.
I didn't know him.
I just pulled up a testiclegraph.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Well, of course, you did, so we're going to see
testicle, testicular anatomy.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
So I think something in here went ding ding ding ding
, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,ding, ding, ding ding.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
I don't know if you can see my?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
can you see my cursor moving?

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Oh yeah, I can, yeah, I can.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
It's really bouncing around like a yo-yo yeah well,
so like yeah, I mean I, I meanthere's other photos it kind of
looks like an eye, there'ssomething called a kaput, that's
what I'm saying right here.
I think one of these danglers,like a blood vessel it came out.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
It looks like electrical wires with hearing
aids holding eggs.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yes, it looks like the Southern Oracle from the
Neverending Story.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
So, anyway, that's where that conversation came
from, was I was thinking it.
It seemed to shock everyone inthe room, yes, but in my mind I
was just thinking like, huh, Iwonder if people have ripped off
parts of their body like that.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
So I don't know, I really was just curious if any
of us had ripped off our own orsomeone else's no, not your own.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Did you know of anyone who had taken a nipple
off?
Is what I was asking.
I recognize it's not a normalquestion and here I am admitting
that, so there.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
This is like a rare moment everybody.
Like this is really rare.
I love you, moose, and thankyou for for it wasn't sexual.
Oh no, it never is Never.
It's always purely anatomical.
I wanted to tell you guys thatonly in about a week and a half
I am taking the last requiredclass to apply for

(21:10):
practitionership in the bodyworkmodality that I have been
studying, Jenshindo, which meansthe way of the compassionate
spirit.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
And I am really excited to be.
The word I keep coming up withis like on, like the precipice
of like what?
What if I've like studied allthis stuff, and what if I, like,
actually can say for myself,not for anybody else, I'm not
thinking anybody else caresabout that, I mean, maybe they
do a little bit.
But I guess when I'm sayingit's yeah, thank you, thank you

(21:42):
for feeding my inner voice, butit's like well then, what then?
What do you do?
You know, it's like do you justlike all of a sudden, like
begin levitating or like have Ibeen levitating the whole time
and I've just learned how to doit differently?
Like it's kind of, it's kind ofneat, and it made me think
about you, moose, in yourstudies, because you're getting

(22:03):
near the end of your studies,and it's like comma.
Then what?
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:09):
What comes next?
Well, first of all,congratulations until this one.
It's huge, so we can celebratebecause we love to celebrate.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
I love it and I think what comes next, cat, is that
you start teaching other peoplehow to levitate.
I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
I also don't know what's next, but I felt this
entire time that this degree wasvery purposeful for me and I
just went with it.
I've never really questioned itthe whole time, I've just
enjoyed.
You know, I picked a subjectthat I'm very passionate about
and I am having the best time.
It's so embarrassing because Iwas so afraid of this at the

(22:49):
beginning, writing my researchpaper.
Like, I'm 34 pages into writingthis research paper and it's a
literature review, and so whatyou do with the literature
review is like you go and findout what everybody else has said
about your research problem andit's been fascinating and I'll

(23:10):
share more about the topic andall of that later on.
But yeah, so I don't know.
I will say I have sort of fallenin love with research, which
doesn't surprise me too much,because I love analytics.
I know I go to five on theEnneagram and I love analytics.
I love even in the musicindustry.
Like any possible subscriptionI can have to like dig in and

(23:34):
understand how a song's doing orwhatever.
There's this new softwarepackage that I've been loving on
the music side and I found outtoday that they have a
certification and you know meLike I was like, oh I can be
certified in something.
And I was telling Sarah about itand someone else, and they were

(23:54):
like, how much does it cost?
I was like it's free, which youknow, for me I like to drop a
couple grand just for the hellof it.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Yeah, just in case you actually take the course.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, exactly, but anyway, stuff like that I love.
So that's been fun to noticehow much I enjoy the research,
because I don't think prior tograd school I quite understood
how much research like caninfluence policy, and now I

(24:25):
understand that and so thatmakes me feel like it's not just
people sitting around doingresearch, it's going, hey, let's
create these studies so we canpoint to that and ideally change
, you know, circumstances forpeople.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
So well, with the internet being so vast and wide
and deep and all that kind ofstuff, like where does one even
start?
When one says I want toresearch something, and I'll use
myself for an example, it'slike if I search Chinese five
element theory, all kinds ofshit comes up.

(24:58):
Yeah, and, like you know, it'severywhere from like please come
to our chiropractic office inSt Louis.
And then the next thing is likeplease come to, you know,
Beijing, where you canexperience a healing sound bath
and hear.
And it's like okay, but likehow do you begin to narrow down
your research, moose?

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Well, that makes me want to nerd out for everyone,
but I won't.
The one thing I'll say is, whenyou're doing research at an
academic level, you're usingpeer reviewed and published
actual studies, which is reallyinteresting because you could
actually go to do.

(25:40):
You know this thing calledGoogle Scholar?
Have you ever heard of that?
So if you Google Google Scholar, or you can just go to that,
you can look at it.
It'll filter everything basedon publications and research.
Oh yeah, so you could type inyou know Chinese five element
theory and you could.

(26:01):
I mean, there would actually bestudies of you know how people
have used that and medicine orhow people have used that.
And the cool thing is is to me,I mean, those, those studies
are they have to be sponsored bya university and then you have
to you know.
So there's there's all theselevels of criteria that have to

(26:23):
be in place before you canactually publish a study, and so
, anyway, I think it's the bestplace to actually look for
research.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
That is so neat and does it have like, do you have
to like subscribe to it oranything, or.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Well, like if you're part of an institution, you can
just put in.
You know, often your school hasa subscription and so you know
you can do it just as a proxythrough that school.
But a lot of them are open whatthey call open files or
whatever and so a lot of themyou can look at for free.
Sometimes you'll get into onethat I'll say like for $34, but

(27:01):
I can always find that for you.
We'll sneak around and findsome stuff We'll do.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
we'll take a scandalous approach.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I have paid enough money to get a few review
articles for free.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
That's right, I'm going to start using you as my
underground, undergroundresearch.
Hey guys.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Let me know If there's any listeners out there
that need me to do some research.
You know who to call.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Ghostbusters.
Um, kat, would you be willingto read something for me?
Yes, I have a thing, that's aconspiracy theory, and I would
love for you and our listenersto join me.
Woo, and I would love it if,kat, you would read it for us.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Oh, I'm so happy to.
I bought one of my clients Ifyou're listening Spoiler alert,
but I know you're not yeah, Ibought one of my clients said a
conspiracy theory kind of wordgame type thing for Christmas
this year and I'm very excitedabout it.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I actually told a friend today.
I was like I used to love, or Isaid I love conspiracy theories
that aren't related to rightwing stuff.
Other than that, I don't knowabout it.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Well, good, ok.
Well, this is completely madeup by this person.
His TikTok handle is Bad Dreams1985.
And he just made his own theoryup using, I'm guessing, some AI
artwork, and it just totallygot me and it's called the 1988
anomaly theory.
Oh, ok, I'm already a believer,so I'm going to, I'm going to

(28:42):
share this and then I'll justscroll through.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
Ok, in the year 1988, a strange phenomenon swept
across the globe, one that wentunnoticed by the public but
caused ripples through thefabric of reality.
It was the year humanity facedan unrecorded extinction, and
everything we know today isbuilt on the echoes of that lost

(29:08):
world.
A growing group of Internettheorists, known as the anomaly
truthers, believe that in 1988,a catastrophic event erased
humanity.
Wow, this event was sodevastating that it caused a
reset in the timeline, a glitchthat the universe itself
scrambled to fix.

(29:29):
They claim this is why so manypeople experienced the Mandela
effect.
Misremembered events or details.
Misremembered events.
Wow, this is because ourcollective consciousness is
trying to reconcile theinconsistencies between pre and
post 1988 realities.
It's funny like, in thebackground, all they're showing

(29:51):
is like shitty cars.
Yeah, it's like cars.
Just so you know.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
cars covered in grass Plants have grown through cars
and housing.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Yeah, it's just like scenes from the Walking Dead.
These theorists point toseveral pieces of evidence to
support their claims.
Firstly, the surge in 80snostalgia isn't cultural.
It's a subconscious effort bythose who lived during the
anomaly.
Oh gosh, what if this is real?

(30:22):
What if it is?
I'm starting to believe it.
This is why new generations,even those born decades later,
feel an inexplicable connectionto the 80s.
They're resonating with theechoes of a past that's
imprinted on the human psyche.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I thought we all died in 88.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Right, yeah, this is starting to fall apart quickly.
Secondly, the technologicalboom and the Internet's
explosion in the 90s were tooadvanced, too rapid, almost as
if they were compensating forlost time, is theorized that
remnants of the old world'sknowledge leaked into the new
timeline, causing an unexplainedacceleration in progress.

(31:03):
The anomaly truthers hint thatthe truth of 1988 lingers in odd
cultural quirks andtechnological leaps that feel
out of time, echoes of a prereset world.
As we navigate a reality thatfeels increasingly like a
patchwork, we're left to wonderif these are more coincidences

(31:25):
or glimpses through the veil ofa history that was never
supposed to be lost.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I feel like that didn't even make sense.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
It doesn't even there's no, there's no even
explanation of anything.
And then this ding dongcomments that this would be a
good pitch for a TV series.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
I totally agree.
By the way, it would be a goodidea Like anything based in the
80s is freaking amazing.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
And then this this woman says I'm too high for this
right now.
Oh my God, oh my God, so sogood.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Wait, wait, wait, go up, go up, sarah.
This is my favorite.
Not really a theory, more ofjust a made up series of
sentences, right?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Oh, wow, yeah, this is this.
I mean it would be.
It's a great concept, like thehumanity would be wiped out like
the Andromeda strain.
Did you guys see that back inthe day?
No, it's not, no.
Well, I mean it's, you know,like a comet hit the planet or
something, or a disease orsomething, and it wiped
everybody out.
I mean there's like everygeneration.

(32:39):
There's at least two or threemovies about post-apocalyptic
times, right?
So that's clearly a thing that,like we humans are fascinated
with and worried about and andall of that kind of stuff.
This one just gives no reason.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
None, it just happens to be 1980 and that's why you
don't remember shit and I'm likeno, I think it was trauma
actually.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
That's a fantastic offering, Sarah.
I wonder if if the Mandelaeffect is going to happen after
the voting season of 2024.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yeah, oh something's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Let's see what it is.
The Mandela effect describes aphenomenon where a large group
of people adopt a false memoryabout the same event or image,
usually one associated withhistory or popular culture.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
No, in all honesty, it's true Like, yeah, we all.
If we think back to the 80s, Iremember care bears, I remember
Scooby Doo, where the care isthe one that lived in a tree, or
is that another?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Think the care bears lived in the clouds.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Oh, who lived in the trees.
The shirt, the tail key blur.
Remember the?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
shirt tails.
What about the Frago Rock?
Oh yeah, now they have done itground.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
Ponky Brewster yeah, ponky Brewster.
And and I know this is morelike 70s, but I've gotten in
some feed that I see every nowand then.
I get stuck watching a whole 30minutes of Wiley, coyote and
Roadrunner cartoons.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
From.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Looney Tunes.
I love Looney Tunes.
I will sit there and gigglelike a child.
I think they're so funny.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
I love that.
That's how I felt about ScoobyDoo.
Can I ask you guys, before wego, your names on Zoom are
Gluten Free?
Me, kat and Sarah Peed.
Would you guys please explainto our listeners what's going on
here?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Sarah, I find yours much more fascinating.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Well, my last name is Reed.
Oh yeah, and I have to pee, butI didn't go yet, but I thought
it would be funny to ride.
Never even thought to rhymePeed with Reed, so I did it
today.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Oh, great job.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
I really like it.
Thank you, and you can't Wellin mine is is not creative at
all and is just a continuedscreaming black hole of I Need
Attention.
I, oh, my God, that's good.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
A screaming black hole of I Need Attention, Feed
me.
Holy shit, Sarah, you've got tofind a sound effect that,
whenever Kat goes into thescreaming black hole of I Need
Attention, that's like Dun dundun, Dun dun dun.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Dun dun, dun, dun dun dun.
I have just been trying to makelittle tweaks and changes to my
life to see if I can doanything to help my body feel

(35:48):
any better, and one of theissues I've had pretty much my
whole life has been something orother to do with the digestive
tract.
You know I've had irritablebowel syndrome, or I've had
indigestion or heartburn, or youknow a puke when I drink coffee
or whatever.
You know I've always got somesort of like like a digestive
thing going on and so I justdecided I was like I'm going to

(36:08):
try to eliminate gluten from mydiet and just see what happens.
That's awesome.
I didn't suspect like, oh, I'mgluten intolerant or, you know,
can't have a Ritz cracker orwhatever it is.
But I have been feeling so muchbetter in my body since I have
eliminated gluten from my dietand so I think I'm going to.
What are you?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
eating like lunch meat and shit.
Yeah, I just panicked because Ihave to get on everyone's
bandwagon and I just literallygrabbed these.
What are you?
Doing and I was like oh shit, Ithink this is gluten in it.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
That's awesome.
No, what I've done is like youknow, for example, I love hummus
, and so when I go to aMediterranean place and get some
hummus, I ask for vegetableswith it instead of the pita.
Yeah, you know it's that it'sthat kind of stuff.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
It's just little soft pita is so good, it's so good,
like how in the world can youstop?

Speaker 1 (37:05):
You can't.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
You can't, and they're whipped feta.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
OK, so you're feeling better.
How many days in are you?
I'm about a month.
Well, I didn't know any of this.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, I've been.
I've been relatively glutenfree for about a month.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Anyway, I've been pretty darn pleased with the
results, and have you had abowel movement today?
Yes, did your grandmother'sever ask you that?
My grandmother would ask meevery day when I was visiting in
the summer.
Have you had a BM today?
And I'd be like grandma oh myGod is not OK yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
First of all, I had no grandmothers, pretty much oh
my.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
God, hey, bring back the dark.
Oh, it was Kimmel.
Yeah, please give me attention,I have had no parents.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
Well, both of my parents are dead.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
So top that Kat.
No, I guess not a competitionman shoot guys and my brother is
your brother.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I just want to say Godly.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
Ok.
So I didn't mean to bring upthe trauma of not having a
grandma.
Did your mom ever ask you that?

Speaker 1 (38:15):
I mean, maybe she has , but I certainly don't remember
it.
And what I was going to say iswhat I got from my grandparent.
The one who I actually canremember having somewhat of a
relationship with is that shecalled me Shag Nasty.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:31):
We got to bring.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Oh, we got to.
Ok, that is the episode we needto listen to.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
That's the one.
Yeah, I think it's number four.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Ok guys, we have something to say we do, we do,
kat, tell them what we're doing.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
OK, so what we're doing and we're going to thank a
lot of people for this idea,most specifically my mother,
thank you, yes, thank you, mom.
So you know we've been doingthe podcast now for about four
years, and so there's a lot ofcontent and there are new
listeners that we're having joinour tribe, like every week.

(39:02):
You know it's like oh so and sofrom England, we didn't know,
and so and so from Nova Scotia,and you know it's very exciting,
and so my mom was like it wouldbe neat if those people could
be introduced to some of yourearlier episodes through your
current state of being.
It's great.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
Right, it's so fun because it's like the director's
cut of us listening to oldepisodes with you and responding
throughout and I can't waitbecause I can't go back and
listen.
Like I know you've gone backand you're like, oh my gosh, the
quality was still OK and I'mlike, oh, I am just so afraid of

(39:42):
any vulnerability that I shared.
I just I wrap it up every weekand I'm like we'll not listen to
that again.
Cheers.
But I'm excited to, becauseit'll be cool to see if there's
been growth or if we are on thedecline.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
Totally.
And we've been going back andforth on OK, well, which ones
are we going to do?
And so I mean that just came toour mind.
The shag nasty one would be agreat place to start, and we
would love to roll a couple ofthese out just sporadically as
the year closes in, and we'llstill do our normal episodes,
but we want to throw a couple ofthese directors cuts in as well

(40:15):
.
Yeah, we'll call them stockingstuffers.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Oh yeah, stuff it up, stuff it up.
So if you have a favoriteepisode or a favorite moment
from an episode, please tell uswhat it is.
We'd love to cover it and andcomment on it from our
perspective now.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
Totally and share any of your perspectives, because
we love to hear them.
Yes, we do Love.
