You are made of meat, my friend, all the way
down.
SPEAKER_04 (00:10):
The following podcast uses words like and and
also woo.

Super familiar with it.
SPEAKER_02 (00:31):
Welcome to Super Familiar with the Wilsons.
I'm Amanda.
SPEAKER_04 (00:34):
And I'm Josh, and we're the podcast about marriage
2.0 with kids.
SPEAKER_02 (00:39):
And all the side quests.
SPEAKER_04 (00:40):
Amanda, I have some feedback about our last episode.
SPEAKER_02 (00:44):
As long as it is feedback directed at yourself,
not at me, I will allow it.
SPEAKER_04 (00:48):
It is directed at me.
The episode was a little bitdisjointed.
We were kind of all over theplace.
We had two quizzes, which wedon't usually have.
Wasn't our finest uh work?
SPEAKER_02 (00:59):
I actually have not listened to last week's episode,
but I can tell you that itreally wouldn't have bothered me
because that is the stream ofconsciousness that is my life
anyway.
SPEAKER_04 (01:06):
Well, there you go.
So let's get on the stream ofconsciousness.
We do have the song quiz answer.
We have the what the fuck isJohn saying uh answer, and I
also have a a new game time foryou that I'm Lord more game
time.
Excited about.
We're gonna do a backwards moviequiz.
SPEAKER_02 (01:23):
Okay, yes.
You texted me about this thatare you very excited about this.
SPEAKER_04 (01:26):
I should say backwards movie plot quiz.
Yes.
Um, so we're gonna do that.
But first, how have you beenthis week?
SPEAKER_02 (01:33):
Me personally or our listeners?
Because you live with me.
SPEAKER_04 (01:37):
Yeah, no.
How how have you fine this week?
I do have a question for yousince you know this is something
that those with children andchildren who are getting older
may relate with.
I have a question for you.
How much time do you think wehave before we need to be
mindful of Winthrop being awarethat we're having sex?
SPEAKER_02 (02:00):
I don't know.
Can we not with the people?
SPEAKER_04 (02:04):
Oh no, I don't I don't want to do with the
people.
I'm sorry, I don't know what youthought this was.
SPEAKER_02 (02:09):
Listen, Muffy's friend has already told her we
talk about sex on this podcastnow.
Hi, Muffy's friend that listensto us.
She hasn't already told her thatwe talk about sex, so Muffy
wants nothing to do with it.
I don't know.
I mean, we were having that beddates when she was younger than
him or older than him.
SPEAKER_04 (02:30):
Okay, I just want to know at what point do we need to
be listening for the little, youknow, on the door in in the
middle of the action.
SPEAKER_02 (02:39):
And oh, I mean, to be fair, you can hear him
running.
Now when when she was his age,we lived in a one-story house
and the bedrooms were completelyacross different sides of the
house.
So that was different.
SPEAKER_00 (02:52):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (02:53):
This is he's about three feet that direction.
SPEAKER_00 (02:56):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (02:57):
So I I don't know.
I don't know, but I don't knowwhat to tell you the solution is
because it's not like he's gonnago to anybody else's house.
SPEAKER_04 (03:05):
No, I I suppose not.
SPEAKER_02 (03:07):
He lives here.
This is this is his permanentresidence.
SPEAKER_04 (03:10):
This is one of those things that uh I want him to, I
don't know if we can just keephim in his room.
And I'm not saying lock him inthis room.
No, no, no.
But like maybe there's an AI tokeep him occupied if he wakes up
in his room.
He has an AI in his room.
There is, yeah, but but I mean,uh, the AI in his room is um the
(03:31):
Amazon product, and it's notgonna stop him when he gets up
and say, no, don't go in there.
SPEAKER_02 (03:36):
He's gonna say, why?
You know he's gonna ask amillion questions until he gets
to the answer.
SPEAKER_04 (03:41):
But there is an AI for everything, or as Boris
Johnson says, AI.
And I saw something today that Iwanted to talk to you about.
I'm not gonna tell you the nameof this product because I'm not
recommending it, but I saw aproduct.
The advertisement was they callit the anti-gaslighting app.
(04:02):
Couples can now record eachother during arguments and get a
detailed breakdown of who saidwhat with AI.
SPEAKER_02 (04:08):
All right.
So basically, this is a plot ofa friend's episode because
Phoebe decides she's going to dothat and she journals everything
that Monica and Chandler talkabout.
And then when they get in adisagreement, she looks in her
journal and says, Well, I knowwho really said it or what time
you agreed upon, but she won'ttell them what it was.
So basically, they've they'vecreated AI to be Phoebe Buffet.
SPEAKER_04 (04:30):
Well, this is uh billing itself as your your
number one AI relationship coachthat helps couples reconnect,
improve communication, andunderstand each other better.
SPEAKER_02 (04:40):
No, all this is gonna say is see, I was right
and you were wrong.
SPEAKER_04 (04:44):
Wait, me being right?
SPEAKER_02 (04:46):
Or no, it whoever was right and whoever, then the
other person's pissed.
SPEAKER_04 (04:50):
Well, here's the thing that amuses me about this.
How it works is that you aresupposed to get in an argument,
right?
Well, you're not supposed to getan argument, but you're you get
in an argument, you need to havethe presence of mind to stop,
turn this thing on so it recordsyou, yeah, and then continue
arguing.
Now, that would absolutely stopthe argument as far as I was
(05:14):
concerned, because you wouldreach for the phone to start the
recording and I would bust outmy ass laughing.
Yes.
I'd be like, What do you thinkyou are doing right now?
Like that that's the dumbestthing I've ever heard.
And listen, I am not down forit.
I absolutely do not need Skynettelling me that I get too
defensive when we talk about thelaundry that's sitting right
(05:35):
over there.
SPEAKER_02 (05:35):
Oh, I hadn't noticed that.
SPEAKER_04 (05:37):
Yeah, so this is not a thing that no man wants this.
No man wants and and I will tellyou that I don't think no women
want this either.
SPEAKER_02 (05:47):
Or probably non-binary people as well.
I just don't think people wantthis.
But I do tell you that I kind ofwant it when Winthrop starts to
argue with me because the otherday he was getting so mad about
he's really into drawing rightnow, and he was getting so mad
because he was trying to dosomething, he couldn't do it
well.
And I said, I remember a coupleweeks ago you were drawing and
you were getting reallyfrustrated, and then you stopped
and you came back to it and andI c commented on that, and you
(06:10):
said, Yeah, I just needed totake a break and walk away, and
then I could come back and doit.
And he said, I've never saidthat before in my life.
And he got really mad when Ireminded him.
So I need whatever this app is.
SPEAKER_04 (06:21):
Well, we have threatened both of our younger
children with the next time youbehave like this, we're gonna
videotape you so that we canplay it back for you.
And neither of them like thatidea at all.
SPEAKER_02 (06:34):
That's because they didn't know what videotape was.
SPEAKER_04 (06:36):
Okay, you know what I'm saying.
What happened to yes and itjackass?
SPEAKER_02 (06:40):
Well, no, I wanted to point out that you said tape
and it was funny to me.
SPEAKER_04 (06:43):
Okay, well, we rind the tape.
We need to turn the the AI thingon and and we can see who said
what here.
But no, Winthrop is absolutelygoing through a stormy phase
right now.
He is Mr.
Grumpus, and I guess it has todo with the time change, right?
SPEAKER_02 (06:58):
I think so.
SPEAKER_04 (06:59):
And the um the time change and the fact that days
are getting shorter, so there'smore darkness in his heart.
SPEAKER_00 (07:08):
Heart of darkness.
SPEAKER_04 (07:10):
But he is definitely having a moment.
And whatever, we can handle mostthings.
Um, I want to know what thepeople out there think of this
situation.
So he's getting really grumpy inpublic as well, and something
that we're trying to deal with.
We went to a restaurant theother day, and the the person
who took our order insisted upontrying to talk to him.
(07:35):
Even after it was clear that hewas not interested in engaging,
this person just kept at, hey,what are you drawing?
Hey, you know this, uh, hey, didyou do you like this food or or
whatever?
Um, at some point, like I'm onthe kid's side.
Yeah, like I always want him tobe polite, but this was
badgering.
(07:55):
This is it went on for quitesome time.
This was harassment.
What do you do when you justwant the server?
Do you just say, Oh, he's not ina good mood right now?
Can you please not talk to him?
Well, that feels rude.
SPEAKER_02 (08:08):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (08:08):
So what do you say?
SPEAKER_02 (08:09):
Yeah, and then if you say, Oh, you know, he's
tired or he's grumpy orwhatever, then you're like
dismissing the child's behaviorin front of the child.
So I I don't know.
SPEAKER_04 (08:17):
Well, I do think that he was tired, but I just
don't think that that we wouldhave gotten very far with him at
that point.
It was obvious that he did notwant to talk to this gentleman.
SPEAKER_02 (08:28):
No, he was also very grumpy at that point in last
week because he had fallen andhe kept saying his tongue hurt.
And I mean, whatever, he'sbitten his tongue before.
He's been eating a tortilla chipand he jams it and is like gum
or whatever.
I so I didn't really investigateit.
And when I picked him up fromschool, he said, I bit my
tongue, it was bleeding, butit's better now.
Like he just doesn't want totalk about it.
(08:50):
So two days go by and he's stilltalking about his tongue.
And I I said, Let me see it.
And he said, Can you take apicture of it?
His entire molar print was onthe right side of his tongue.
I mean, he bit the mess out ofthis.
And it took him about because hewhat he was doing is playing
gaga and he jumped over the walland fell and hit his chin on the
(09:11):
ground, and his tongue happenedto unfortunately be between his
teeth.
And it took him about a week tobe able to eat stuff that wasn't
just like soft.
So all he was eating was whiterice at this restaurant.
So he was just grumpy about thattoo.
SPEAKER_04 (09:23):
Sure.
And I'd forgotten about thatactually.
But what what do you do?
Tell us, listener out there, ifyou've got kids and it's clear
that the kid doesn't want toengage and the server still
wants to engage.
Like, what do you say?
Like, I'm genuinely asking forhelp here.
Email us at familiarwilsons atgmail.com and tell us what you
would do.
SPEAKER_02 (09:44):
Clearly, I don't know.
I was there and I didn't helpit.
What I did was I got him up andleft with him.
I took him to because we were inin in we're nearby a grocery
store, and so I took him intothe grocery store and got him
some liquid yogurt because thatwas the only thing he could
have.
So I think some of it is justbeing hungry, and I definitely
think he hits a threshold ofhangry real fast sometimes.
And then also he's he's justtired, and also he's really over
(10:07):
school right now.
I think he has senioritis inthird grade.
SPEAKER_04 (10:10):
Oh, we got really big problems if that's the case.
The other thing that Idiscovered this week is I have
legitimately forgotten how tobowl.
SPEAKER_02 (10:19):
Oh, you were really unhappy.
SPEAKER_04 (10:22):
When I was a kid, I used to bowl, and I'm not saying
I was a great bowler, I didn'tgo on the tour or anything.
Um, but I could throw a balldown a lane and and hit a pin
every time.
Yes.
Not so the other night.
SPEAKER_02 (10:36):
Yeah, last night, friend.
SPEAKER_04 (10:38):
Yeah, it feels like so long ago.
I I would get a gutter and thenknock down eight, which was
really freaking frustrating.
But I don't know what it is.
I've forgotten how to bowl.
Have you ever forgotten likesomething that you used to know
how to do, like a physicalthing, and you've just forgotten
how to do it?
SPEAKER_02 (10:58):
Sometimes when I'm crocheting, if it's been a
really long time, I have toremind myself of like the hand
movements and stuff.
I but that's I mean it's butit's been how long has that been
since you've bowled?
I don't think that you and Ihave ever bowled together and
we've been together for 12years.
SPEAKER_04 (11:13):
Okay, then 12 years ago is last time I bowled.
Oh, because when I worked withteenagers, yeah.
I remember the day well.
Um the I used to work withteenagers that whole time, and
we would take the the kidsbowling.
That was the thing that we did.
Like, I used to know how tobowl.
SPEAKER_02 (11:29):
Yeah, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_04 (11:30):
And I don't know if like my body is so different
now.
They say that that your bodyrenews its cells like what every
seven years or something likethat.
So every seven years, basicallyyou have a whole new body, which
by the way, I'm kind of callingbullshit on that because like my
cells have been renewing.
I'm not getting a new body, it'sjust an older body, right?
Like my cells have fucked upsomehow.
(11:52):
But this new body that I have isnever bowled, yeah, is what it
is.
Like the body a few cellgenerations before, that body
has bowled.
This body's never bowled.
SPEAKER_02 (12:03):
Yeah, so Winthrop decided, not sure why, that he
wanted to go bowling.
I think it started when we metfriend of the podcast, Josh Scar
and his family at DisneySprings, and we had dinner at
what it was it, Splitzville orwhatever it's called.
SPEAKER_00 (12:16):
Something like that.
SPEAKER_02 (12:16):
Um, in in Winthrop wanted to bowl, but you I mean,
you had to reserve a lane andall this.
So we we took him bowling.
First of all, it has been a longtime since I've taken and paid
for anybody to go bowling.
That was really expensive.
SPEAKER_04 (12:30):
Well, things are getting more expensive.
There's a tariff on pins.
SPEAKER_02 (12:33):
It was fifty-one dollars for the three of us to
bowl for an hour.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
And and he can't and I he wasarguing with me about putting
the bumpers up before we evergot there.
I was trying to head it off.
It was like, listen, you neverhave done this before.
This is going to be difficult.
It's going to be something likewhen you first started riding
(12:54):
your bike, you're gonna have todo it over and over and you're
gonna get better at it.
But we need to use the bumpers.
No, no, I don't, I don't know, Idon't need the bumpers.
I know how to bowl.
I'm really good at it.
So then I looked at him and Isaid, Wait, you've bowled?
And he said, No, I haven't, butI'm really good at it.
I know that I am.
SPEAKER_04 (13:09):
I need the bumpers.
SPEAKER_02 (13:10):
Well, so he got the bumpers and he was fine.
Look out of the three games weplayed, maybe four of his
attempts did wouldn't haveneeded a bumper.
SPEAKER_00 (13:17):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (13:18):
But he was fine once we got there, but then he just
discovered there was an arcadeand then laser tag, and he got
real bored with bowling realfast and wanted to do other
things.
SPEAKER_04 (13:28):
Yeah, so anyway, there's our bowling adventure.
Um, Winthrop needs the bumpers.
He did okay, and I needed thebumpers too because I did not do
okay.
You won't do the games that weplayed.
SPEAKER_02 (13:40):
Well, I I kind of threw the last one and started
just like because you wereyelling at me that I wasn't
rolling the ball, I was droppingit.
I don't know that I was yellingat I still got strikes since
bears, but anyway, so then Ijust I decided to try to
practice with my technique, andI kept getting gutter balls
every time.
So clearly, you you're not avery good bowling instructor.
SPEAKER_04 (14:07):
Weather alert, weather alert, weather alert.
SPEAKER_02 (14:11):
It's cold outside.
SPEAKER_04 (14:12):
Weather alert from South Florida.
SPEAKER_02 (14:14):
Oh, from South Florida.
Iguanas are falling out oftrees.
SPEAKER_04 (14:17):
Weather update, falling iguana alert is is an
actual update that I saw thatwas a screenshot of a TV screen
from South Florida, fallingiguana alert.
SPEAKER_02 (14:28):
I did not mean to step on that joke.
I just was like, oh wait, it'scold.
They're gonna fall out of trees.
SPEAKER_04 (14:33):
No, you didn't step on the joke because it's not a
joke, it's real, it's a thing.
And I don't know if if thepeople listening who aren't in
South Florida are aware thatthis is a thing that happens
every year, the falling iguanas.
SPEAKER_02 (14:44):
Explain it.
SPEAKER_04 (14:46):
Well, uh iguanas are reptilian in nature, they're big
too.
They are, and so they can theythey're cold-blooded, they can't
regulate um their bodytemperature.
So when it gets cold, they gointo a state of hibernation.
So if they're in a tree and itgets cold, they freeze, they
fall out the tree.
And you gotta be careful.
And the warning, of course, isdon't touch them, they're not
(15:07):
dead.
The sun will come out tomorrow,tomorrow, and they'll warm up
and they'll park up and they'llgo about their their business.
And so people like will go andthey'll they'll pick them up or
they'll take them home or someshit like that, and the thing
will wake up and they of coursefreak the fuck out.
SPEAKER_02 (15:24):
So what were they gonna do with it?
They thought it was taxidermied,like what did they think?
Put it on a mantle?
SPEAKER_04 (15:30):
I don't know, or maybe they don't want them to go
take it and throw it awaybecause the damn thing's still
alive, don't throw it away, justleave it alone.
Yes, but I that just amuses meno end.
It's like one of those littlequirks about living in South
Florida is the the weather coolsdown, the songs of of snow and
mistletoe go on the radio, andthe iguanas fall out of the
tree.
SPEAKER_02 (15:50):
Have you ever seen it happen?
SPEAKER_04 (15:52):
I've never seen it happen, but I've seen frozen
iguanas on you know, on thespace.
SPEAKER_02 (15:57):
Um, oh my god.
I wonder they must fall onpeople, right?
SPEAKER_04 (16:02):
I I would guess.
SPEAKER_02 (16:03):
I mean, odds are that would hurt though, because
they're not light things.
They probably weigh like 10, 15pounds.
SPEAKER_04 (16:10):
Oh, I don't think they weigh 10 pounds.
SPEAKER_02 (16:12):
They weigh five pounds.
SPEAKER_04 (16:13):
I think that you're thinking of monitor lizards or
Komodo drivers.
SPEAKER_02 (16:17):
I mean, iguanas are like this big though, yeah?
SPEAKER_04 (16:19):
Okay, yeah.
Well the cameras aren't on you.
SPEAKER_02 (16:21):
That's like a foot and a half long.
SPEAKER_04 (16:22):
Yeah, well, they're they they would hurt if they
fell on you frozen solid andshort.
SPEAKER_02 (16:27):
So I wonder, so that just made me think about this.
Has nothing to do with winterand falling iguanas, but just
thinking about things thatshould happen more frequently.
Uh, you and I both worked at acamp in or two different camps
in in North Carolina.
There was a guy, he was acounselor or staff.
Uh he came to opening sessionand his face was just clawed,
like just clawed up.
He happened to be in thecrossfire of a squirrel jumping
(16:50):
from one tree to the other, andhis face went right in the
squirrel's path.
So the squirrel latched onto hisface.
SPEAKER_04 (16:57):
Are you saying that the squirrel failed to notice
that he was there?
Or that he moved and he wasjogging in that.
SPEAKER_02 (17:03):
He was just that fast.
SPEAKER_04 (17:04):
It's like that that YouTube clip, that old YouTube
clip of Randy Johnson, thepitcher throwing the ball and a
bird happened to so same thingexcept the squirrel in the guy's
face.
SPEAKER_02 (17:14):
Yes.
And I saw the scratches, so Iknow that it happened, but
that's gonna happen more oftenthan we hear about, right?
SPEAKER_04 (17:20):
Yeah, I guess so.
So so folks, this has been yourweather alert and squirrel alert
from the Wilsons.
SPEAKER_02 (17:39):
Weather alert from Amanda.
Weather alert.
SPEAKER_04 (17:42):
No, we're we're done with this.
SPEAKER_02 (17:43):
No, no, no.
I have one.
I got a weather alert on myphone, and I yeah, you I sent it
to you because I sent it to theBelsons too.
It was the weather channel alertpopped up on my phone and it
said weather alert increasedspider activity.
SPEAKER_04 (17:56):
What?
SPEAKER_02 (17:57):
Yes, and it said that due to whatever weather
systems are in the area and thetemperatures, that we will see
an increased activity withspiders and to make sure that
you're like keeping everythingsprayed outside so they don't
come into your home.
I've never seen a spider alertcome from the weather channel.
SPEAKER_04 (18:15):
It just goes to show how much this world is on fire
that we need next next winter.
It's I swear to God, it's gonnabe falling iguana alert,
followed by the spider alert,and then the locusts.
Then the locusts will comelocust alert, and then like
rivers flowing red with blood.
SPEAKER_02 (18:32):
That's right.
So last night we're asleep.
About 11:30, my phone startsringing, and I look at it and
it's Muffy calling me fromdownstairs.
SPEAKER_00 (18:42):
That's good.
SPEAKER_02 (18:44):
Panicked, I need you.
There's a big spider down here,and I can't get it.
So I get up, I go downstairs, Ilook, and it is.
SPEAKER_04 (18:52):
This thing had better been the size of like a
baseball mitt.
SPEAKER_02 (18:56):
I mean, no, it was about that big.
SPEAKER_04 (18:59):
This is an audio medium.
SPEAKER_02 (19:00):
Okay, it was about the size of that's not even a
half dollar.
It's bigger than that.
I like a chocolate chip cookie.
SPEAKER_04 (19:07):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (19:08):
I mean, it was big.
SPEAKER_04 (19:09):
And now all I'm picturing is she's calling you
panic because there's achocolate chip cookie on the
floor.
SPEAKER_02 (19:16):
So it's under the ottoman, and she's just sitting
on the ground staring under theottoman.
And so I'm trying to figure outwhat to do.
In the meantime, here comesWinthrop wandering around
looking for us out of his bed.
Came, I could hear his littlefeet running around.
Came in here, wasn't happy thathe found just you here.
So then he came to the stairsand she said, We're down here.
(19:39):
So he comes down, he wants tosee the spider, then the dog
comes.
So last night at like 11:45, me,Winthrop, uh, Muffy, and the dog
are downstairs trying to problemsolve this spider.
So I go, I get a cup, I move theottoman, I put the thing over
the cup over the spider, I slidea piece of paper and I take it
(20:02):
outside, and then I have a talkwith the spider.
Well, Muffy had to talk first.
She told him not to come back.
And then I told it to please nottell its friends that were kind
and compassionate and didn'tkill it.
Tell its friends that all thepeople that go in there die,
stay outside.
SPEAKER_04 (20:18):
Yeah, and then that's we killed all the other
spiders, and we sent one spiderback outside to tell the rest of
them.
I've seen that movie.
SPEAKER_02 (20:29):
And I left, I left it with the cup, and I said, I
will come back for this cup inthe morning.
And I came back in the morningand it's gone.
Now I think that the chocolatechip spider is wearing this cup
like a shell, like a hermitcrab, somewhere in our
neighborhood.
SPEAKER_04 (20:42):
What cup was it?
Was it a cup we liked?
SPEAKER_02 (20:44):
No, it's one of the solo cups, the recyclable solo
cups.
SPEAKER_04 (20:47):
All right.
Thank you.
Well, that's it's our secondweather alert.
I think that was a spider alert.
I don't know what that was.
(21:08):
So I've got this book that's gotnotes of all the stuff that I
want to talk about, andsometimes it's just like a
sentence.
And I don't know why I wrotethis, but one of the topics that
I intended to cover was justmusic during sex.
SPEAKER_02 (21:23):
It's probably because you were thinking of
should we put mus noise on so hecan't hear anything.
SPEAKER_04 (21:29):
Uh no, but I think we've we've covered that before
that I can't, yeah, I can't havemusic on.
SPEAKER_02 (21:34):
Then you try to get a rhythm or whatever then.
SPEAKER_04 (21:36):
No, it's it's no, it doesn't work that way.
Um, it would need to beasynchronous music.
Yes.
And I can't have we've talkedabout this.
I can't have lyrics because thenum I don't want to be thinking
about the lyrics all of asudden.
Oh, that's very interesting.
Cake by the ocean.
Oh, sorry, dear.
Um, so anyway, I really don'tknow why I put that, so we won't
(21:56):
talk about it.
SPEAKER_02 (21:57):
Are you recording?
SPEAKER_04 (21:58):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (21:59):
Oh god, I thought you and I were just having a
conversation.
SPEAKER_04 (22:02):
No.
Oh it is time to give theanswers to the song quiz.
You remember the uh you rememberthe clues to the song quiz,
(22:25):
dear?
SPEAKER_02 (22:25):
I I do.
It's something about oh god, whowas the man?
Who is the man?
SPEAKER_04 (22:31):
It was just to let everyone know, it's a cryptic
clue about a song title and asong artist.
And you all out there and Amandatry to guess what song and
artist I'm referring to.
The um the song title was whatyou say to Mr.
Cheetle When Man United Scores.
SPEAKER_02 (22:50):
Yes, Cheetle.
I couldn't think of who theperson was we were talking
about.
SPEAKER_04 (22:53):
And the artist or band is The Magic That I Do to
Bag Myself a Deer.
Did you get this one?
SPEAKER_02 (23:00):
I definitely got this one.
Right after we recorded, I gotthis one.
SPEAKER_04 (23:04):
Go ahead and talk us through what you say to Mr.
Cheetle when Man United Scores.
SPEAKER_02 (23:09):
Okay, so Mr.
Cheetle.
SPEAKER_04 (23:10):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:11):
Don Cheetle.
SPEAKER_04 (23:12):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:12):
Famously of the Yorkshire accent in Oceans
Eleven, or what was that accentthat he did?
He did a Cockney accent.
SPEAKER_04 (23:20):
Cockney, not even close to Yorkshire.
SPEAKER_02 (23:22):
I'm just making up uh areas now.
Anyway, Don Cheetle.
Yes.
So Don.
SPEAKER_04 (23:27):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:27):
And then when Man You or whoever you say Man
United scores.
Scores, you say goal.
Right.
So it's gold Don, which thenbecomes golden.
SPEAKER_04 (23:36):
Golden is the song.
And the artist or band is themagic that I do to bag myself a
deer.
SPEAKER_02 (23:42):
Okay, so bagging a deer, that's hunting, right?
Which I don't don't go do.
I don't like it.
And then it's if it's magical,then you're doing a trick.
SPEAKER_04 (23:49):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (23:50):
So you're hunting trick.
SPEAKER_04 (23:51):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (23:51):
Your Hun Trix.
SPEAKER_04 (23:52):
Hun Trix.
SPEAKER_02 (23:53):
It is golden by Huntryx from K-pop Demon
Hunters.
SPEAKER_04 (23:58):
By the way, we've got an incredible amount of
listens from South Korea.
Have we really?
On the two episodes that wementioned K-pop Demon Hunters.
Yeah, no.
So it was two episodes ago.
Then we didn't talk about it.
And then last episode we talkedabout it.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:13):
Do you put it in the title?
Like what they're searching andthey find us, or what happens?
SPEAKER_04 (24:17):
I did, and I put it in the description.
So anyway, we asked you if youcould get the song quiz, and we
did have one answer.
SPEAKER_02 (24:26):
Only one person?
Yes.
SPEAKER_04 (24:28):
Yes.
So it's golden by Hunter's.
I got it in 30 seconds, and Iwould like a prize.
Belated happy birthday to Muffyand Winthrop.
From Kate, our neighbor Kate.
SPEAKER_02 (24:40):
Our neighbor Kate.
Hey Kate.
SPEAKER_04 (24:42):
Yeah, Kate got it.
So there you go.
And then I said, excellent.
Any guesses on what our Scottishfriend said?
And she says, Oh, I gotdistracted and didn't listen to
that part.
SPEAKER_02 (24:52):
It's okay, Kate.
No one knows what he says ever.
SPEAKER_04 (24:55):
Okay, so that was the second part of our little
quiz section in last week'sepisode.
We have our friend John Watson.
He is Scottish.
And so therefore, he's when hespeaks, it's unintelligible.
So I get a big kick out ofquizzing Amanda and you all to
see if you can tell what it isthat he's talking about.
(25:17):
So just to remind you what hesaid last week.
SPEAKER_03 (25:21):
Your bum's out the windy.
Your bums at the windy.
All right, what is it?
SPEAKER_02 (25:27):
So he sounds like he's saying your bum's out the
windy.
Like your bum, your bottom's outof the window.
SPEAKER_04 (25:33):
Your bum is out the window.
SPEAKER_02 (25:34):
Yes.
And I think it means just likelike when people say you're
talking out of your ass, like Ithink like you're just you just
don't know what you're talkingabout.
You're just making stuff up.
SPEAKER_03 (25:42):
All right, so let's see what that means.
Your bums at the wendy.
That means you're talkingnonsense.
SPEAKER_02 (25:49):
Yeah, there you go, right?
SPEAKER_04 (25:50):
Yep, you got it.
SPEAKER_02 (25:51):
I did get it.
SPEAKER_03 (25:52):
No one else got it.
SPEAKER_02 (25:53):
I get to move to Scotland.
Is that what that means?
There's so there's quizzes.
That's the entrance, right?
Like when you come to the US andyou have to take your
citizenship ship, ship, ship,ship.
So hard word to say.
Citizenship test, that's whatyou gotta do when you try to
become a citizen.
SPEAKER_04 (26:08):
You have to understand John.
He does not live close enough toany of their major ports of call
for him to be the guy to dothat.
SPEAKER_02 (26:15):
I'm fairly certain there are others like him.
SPEAKER_04 (26:18):
A whole country full, some would say.
(27:00):
Amanda, we have our backwardsmovie plot quiz.
Very easy.
I don't even need to explain it.
I'm gonna give you the plot of amovie backwards, and you tell me
what the movie is.
You should get all of these.
There are five of them.
You should get all of them.
SPEAKER_02 (27:13):
Are these movies I have seen or am aware of?
SPEAKER_04 (27:16):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (27:17):
Okay.
SPEAKER_04 (27:17):
Alright, so the first one
eats pea soup and then calmsdown.
SPEAKER_00 (27:24):
The exorcism.
That's so good.
That is the exorcism.
That's so good.
SPEAKER_04 (27:31):
Alright, next.
A man loses a big fight, punchesbeef with decreasing fervency,
and then becomes an increasinglyunknown boxer.
SPEAKER_02 (27:40):
I mean, I've not seen this, but I'm gonna go with
Rocky.
SPEAKER_04 (27:44):
That is the plot to Rocky, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02 (27:47):
I just know that he punches some meat.
Um they still cook the meat?
Did he like tenderize it, or wasit that this is just now his
punching bag?
SPEAKER_04 (27:55):
A couple falls out of love, making the man
increasingly angry andreclusive.
Prone to talking to householditems.
SPEAKER_02 (28:05):
Okay, so a man talks to household items, he becomes
increasingly reclusive or lessreclusive, and then he gets
angry and falls out of love withsomebody.
SPEAKER_04 (28:18):
Uh let me try this again.
You're thinking too hard aboutit.
Again, this is the backwardsmovie plot.
A couple falls out of love,making the man increasingly
angry and reclusive and prone totalking to household items.
SPEAKER_02 (28:31):
Oh, this is the shining.
SPEAKER_04 (28:35):
Actually, it's funny how some of these backwards
movie plots are the forwardmovie plots of some movie.
It is not the shining.
SPEAKER_02 (28:43):
But but he goes crazy and he talks to the things
in the yes, this is thebackwards plot.
Listen, I can't.
Okay.
Um So does that mean if theyfall out of love, they fall in
love?
SPEAKER_04 (28:55):
All the information's on the task.
SPEAKER_02 (28:57):
No, no, you're not a looks horn.
Um I don't know.
I can't do this one.
SPEAKER_04 (29:03):
Beauty and the beast.
SPEAKER_02 (29:06):
But they don't fall out of love, they fall in love.
SPEAKER_04 (29:08):
Yes, but this is the fucking opposite.
It's the opposite.
SPEAKER_02 (29:11):
No, opposite is not backwards.
SPEAKER_04 (29:14):
We are not, we are not arguing here.
SPEAKER_02 (29:16):
Okay, so get the app.
Opposite is not backwards,friend.
Backwards means that because yousaid that she ate pea soup.
Well, she had to eat pea soup tobe able to spew it, but they
didn't fall out of love.
SPEAKER_04 (29:29):
I don't like it.
Let's let's get Susie Dent inhere.
Um, you didn't get that right.
SPEAKER_02 (29:34):
Because you wrote it wrong.
SPEAKER_04 (29:35):
Next, three film students grow increasingly calm,
emerge from the woods with theirvideo cameras erased, and look
forward to attending filmschool.
SPEAKER_02 (29:46):
Okay, see, this one you did backwards.
This is the Blair Witch project.
SPEAKER_04 (29:51):
That is correct.
So you got that right.
So one more, ready?
A man gives up the familybusiness, helps resurrect many
people, and attends a wedding.
SPEAKER_02 (30:04):
This is the story of Jesus.
This is the Passion of Christ.
SPEAKER_04 (30:08):
No, what movie is this?
SPEAKER_02 (30:11):
A man attends a wedding?
SPEAKER_04 (30:13):
A man gives up the family business, helps resurrect
many people, and attends awedding.
SPEAKER_02 (30:19):
Is that four weddings and a funeral?
SPEAKER_04 (30:21):
It is clearly the Godfather.
SPEAKER_02 (30:23):
Oh.
SPEAKER_04 (30:27):
So you got four out of five.
SPEAKER_02 (30:30):
I got three out of five.
SPEAKER_04 (30:31):
Oh, did you?
Okay.
Just so folks know that theGodfather backwards is the story
of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ.
It is email time.
If you'd like to drop us a line,send it to familiarwilsons at
(30:54):
gmail.com.
So we have a a little missivefrom our friend Leo that is
titled Six Seven and OtherMusings.
SPEAKER_02 (31:06):
Six Seven.
SPEAKER_04 (31:07):
He says, Hey Wilsons, hope you're enjoying
some cooler temperatures.
We are.
We are.
It's lovely.
It's supposed to freezetomorrow, and so I've gone into
the back garden and coveredthree plants with some sheets.
SPEAKER_02 (31:19):
It's the only ones we like.
SPEAKER_04 (31:20):
That's right.
He says the humidity has brokenfinally here in Ohio.
That's a song, isn't it?
Humidity has broken here inOhio.
SPEAKER_02 (31:30):
You should be on the tourism board.
SPEAKER_04 (31:33):
He says we are all bracing for our typical Indian
summer, whereas we suddenly hada weird stretch of summer-like
weather in November.
I'm not familiar with that term,but I guess that's what it
means.
Okay, didn't know that.
Before I forget, I also want togive a huge shout out to Muffy
and her friends for taking careof that poor girl on the
sidewalk.
Doesn't matter how or why sheended up in that state.
(31:54):
We were all young and stupidbefore too.
I'm just glad social mediadidn't exist when we were that
age.
I'm trying to think.
I don't think that I didanything that I would have been
ashamed that social mediacaught.
Except for, of course, mygeneral just social awkwardness.
(32:14):
My existence.
That's right.
That's enough to be embarrassed.
SPEAKER_02 (32:17):
If you fall asleep with like a bucket of KFC on
your chest one time in your car,that would be interesting.
No.
I've made that up.
SPEAKER_04 (32:23):
You have made that a little bit.
SPEAKER_02 (32:24):
I've conflated a whole bunch of different stories
I know about you.
SPEAKER_04 (32:28):
This, though, is a different boyfriend, is what
you're thinking of.
SPEAKER_02 (32:30):
Nope.
Those get electrocuted bylightning.
SPEAKER_04 (32:33):
Um, he says, kudos to her for insisting that you
use location tracking for her.
Our daughter balked at thisidea.
She took it more as we would bespying on her.
Our sons, not so much.
We use Life 360, and ouryoungest loves using it against
us because it also shows howfast you're driving.
He once took a screenshot of ourwife driving 90 miles an hour on
(32:56):
the freeway and sent it to her.
SPEAKER_02 (32:58):
Oh no.
Yeah, we just do um Apple familysharing location.
It doesn't say how fast I amgoing.
SPEAKER_04 (33:08):
Not a sponsor.
Oh no, no, but we have our ourcar insurance to show us that.
In fact, I think that on our carinsurance app that tracks our
movements and tracks our speedand tracks all these this
different things when we'redriving and then gives us a
discount based on our score.
I believe I have the highestscore.
SPEAKER_02 (33:27):
You do.
You have a 97.
Muffy has a 93 and I have noffyhas a 95 and I have a 93.
But we did get a$60 a monthdiscount off of that.
SPEAKER_04 (33:37):
Yeah, very good.
So there you go.
I mean, we probably would havegotten 75 if you didn't freaking
have a 93, but whatever.
SPEAKER_02 (33:43):
I wasn't going 90 miles an hour, though.
SPEAKER_04 (33:46):
He says, Josh, I must say you are a fascinating
specimen.
Thank you, Leo.
You not knowing who Herb Alpertwas genuinely caused me to let
out an audible gasp.
He's been one of the highestrespected horn players since
dirt.
Not that I'm necessarily a fanof his, but he's so well known
it's almost impossible not toknow of him.
Well, Leo, don't know what totell you.
(34:06):
You'd think that I wouldremember a musician called Herb,
but the only Herb that I'm awareof is Herb Tarlick from WKRP in
Cincinnati, one of my favoriteshows.
He continues, as for thestrangest thing seen while
driving, because that is aquestion we asked a couple of
episodes ago.
For me, it was seeing one ofthose tiny smart cars being
(34:26):
rolled over because an old ladytapped its back bumper in a
roundabout.
What?
Me and the other drivers helpedthe guy out of the car.
He was a big guy, so it waspretty comical that he was
driving it.
He wasn't injured save for ascrape and bloodied elbow.
SPEAKER_02 (34:41):
My goodness.
Like you just tap it and itrolls over.
Forget taking that out on aninterstate.
SPEAKER_04 (34:47):
I don't know why they call them smart cars
because it's the dumbest lookingthing you've ever seen.
It has no back half.
No, I know.
It's just the front half andthen it ends.
Stupid.
To me, like the bigger the caris, the more armored the car is,
the better.
SPEAKER_02 (35:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Especially when you're puttingyour children out on the road.
SPEAKER_04 (35:05):
Yeah, that's right.
Well, don't don't don't put yourkid out on the road.
It's very dangerous.
SPEAKER_02 (35:09):
Put them in a car.
And then put them out on theroad.
SPEAKER_04 (35:11):
And then he goes on and he offers another
explanation for 6'7.
And weirdly, it's one that I'venot heard.
He said, last he asked for 6'7,a young basketball phenom from
Kentucky named Talen Kinney isto blame.
He said it, he said it just tobe silly during interview.
He said he was nervous, and likemany of us, humor is his go-to
(35:32):
when he's nervous.
He admits it means nothing.
The rest is meme history.
And to take advantage of thisviral moment, he's even launched
a 6'7 water brand.
SPEAKER_02 (35:41):
Water?
SPEAKER_04 (35:42):
Yeah, I guess.
Why would you go for water?
Good luck to that young man.
Last I saw he's gonna play for auniversity in Atlanta.
SPEAKER_02 (35:51):
Well, good.
SPEAKER_04 (35:52):
And he says, no, I don't know the answer to the
song quiz.
SPEAKER_02 (35:55):
Okay, it was golden.
It's just because you have to gowatch the K-pop demon hunters.
Well, thank you, Leo.
It's always wonderful to hearfrom you.
And thanks.
Yeah, thanks for um the kudosfor Muffy and her friends.
We are very, very proud of thesegirls that they are becoming,
and I think we can only takevery little credit.
SPEAKER_04 (36:13):
I think that we can take a lot of credit.
I believe in nurture and nature,and both of those happened here.
So that is a thing.
If you want to email us,familiarwilsons at gmail.com.
Tell us how it's going.
We want to know, and then we'llwe'll read it on on the uh the
(36:33):
pod, and you will be rich andfamous beyond all the dreams of
Avarice.
SPEAKER_01 (36:38):
No one likes to be told what to do.
SPEAKER_04 (36:40):
And now is the time in the program where we tell you
what to do.
Amanda, what should we do?
SPEAKER_02 (36:45):
This is me telling you, this is my annual reminder
to you that the holiday bakingchallenge has started on the
Food Network.
It is my favorite.
I love it.
Jesse Palmer, bless him.
He was a Florida gator, he wasnot great bachelor, and um, but
I just enjoy him.
He's goofy and it's just soheartwarming and lovely.
(37:06):
And I'm so excited about theholiday season and like my inner
just I want to have all thethings.
I want all the I want all thepeppermint bark and I want all
the cozy jammies, and I want afireplace that I don't have, and
I want lots of twinkly lights.
I tried to talk Josh intoletting us hire somebody to do
the lights on the house, and hesaid no.
And I want to go sledding, and Iwant a Christmas tree in every
(37:27):
room, and I love Christmas treesand windows, and I love
Christmas trees on the top ofcars, and I could keep going and
going and going, but just gowatch the holiday baking
challenge on the Food Networkbecause I hear this might be its
last year.
SPEAKER_04 (37:40):
I'm sorry, sledding?
SPEAKER_02 (37:42):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (37:44):
Have you ever been sledding?
No, but I want to.
It's overrated.
SPEAKER_02 (37:48):
Have you been sledding?
SPEAKER_04 (37:50):
I have.
Snow in general, very overrated.
SPEAKER_02 (37:52):
Oh, I love snow.
SPEAKER_04 (37:53):
Have you ever been in snow?
SPEAKER_02 (37:55):
Yes, the marriage 1.0 in-laws live in northern
Minnesota.
I've been in lots of snow.
SPEAKER_04 (38:00):
Yeah, we saw how that worked out before you,
didn't we?
SPEAKER_02 (38:02):
Right, but no, I want to go sledging as the Brits
say.
Why do you guys say that?
Why do you have to put a soft Gin there?
Why is it sledging?
That sounds that sounds harsh.
I don't like it.
Say sledding.
SPEAKER_04 (38:24):
Alright, Amanda, that's all there is.
There is no more.
What'd you think about all that?
SPEAKER_02 (38:29):
I'm still on sledging.
SPEAKER_04 (38:32):
Yes.
You you have the tendency tojust really perseverate on one
thing.
Why is that?
Is that where where Winthropgets it from?
SPEAKER_02 (38:40):
Probably.
And also, I was working fromhome today and I was sitting in
the bed and I was doing my work,and the dog saw somebody out of
the window because he likes toperch up on that chair.
And and he barked, but he keptbarking, and I thought, good
lord, this person is justhanging out in front of the.
No, the person was gone.
And he barked for 10 minutes.
He's just thinking about it.
This is clearly what I do.
I'm I'm mad about sledging.
(39:01):
This is this is my version ofthe dog yelling out of the
window, the phantom trail theperson walking left behind.
unknown (39:10):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (39:10):
I started out this episode happy.
I went on a rant about how Iwant to or not a rant.
I went on a monologue about howI want to go embrace all of
winter, and it's ended with mebeing mad at the dog and the
Brits.
SPEAKER_04 (39:23):
That's not how it's ending.
It's ending with us giving youour list of people without whom
we would not be able to hand youthis audio polished turd that

As long as it is feedback directed at yourself,

I actually have not listened to last week's episode,
but I can tell you that itreally wouldn't have bothered me
because that is the stream ofconsciousness that is my life
anyway.
SPEAKER_04 (01:06):
Well, there you go.
So let's get on the stream ofconsciousness.
We do have the song quiz answer.
We have the what the fuck isJohn saying uh answer, and I
also have a a new game time foryou that I'm Lord more game
time.
Excited about.
We're gonna do a backwards moviequiz.
SPEAKER_02 (01:23):
Okay, yes.
You texted me about this thatare you very excited about this.
SPEAKER_04 (01:26):
I should say backwards movie plot quiz.
Yes.
Um, so we're gonna do that.
But first, how have you beenthis week?
SPEAKER_02 (01:33):
Me personally or our listeners?
Because you live with me.
SPEAKER_04 (01:37):
Yeah, no.
How how have you fine this week?
I do have a question for yousince you know this is something
that those with children andchildren who are getting older
may relate with.
I have a question for you.
How much time do you think wehave before we need to be
mindful of Winthrop being awarethat we're having sex?
SPEAKER_02 (02:00):
I don't know.
Can we not with the people?
SPEAKER_04 (02:04):
Oh no, I don't I don't want to do with the
people.
I'm sorry, I don't know what youthought this was.
SPEAKER_02 (02:09):
Listen, Muffy's friend has already told her we
talk about sex on this podcastnow.
Hi, Muffy's friend that listensto us.
She hasn't already told her thatwe talk about sex, so Muffy
wants nothing to do with it.
I don't know.
I mean, we were having that beddates when she was younger than
him or older than him.
SPEAKER_04 (02:30):
Okay, I just want to know at what point do we need to
be listening for the little, youknow, on the door in in the
middle of the action.
SPEAKER_02 (02:39):
And oh, I mean, to be fair, you can hear him
running.
Now when when she was his age,we lived in a one-story house
and the bedrooms were completelyacross different sides of the
house.
So that was different.
SPEAKER_00 (02:52):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (02:53):
This is he's about three feet that direction.
SPEAKER_00 (02:56):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (02:57):
So I I don't know.
I don't know, but I don't knowwhat to tell you the solution is
because it's not like he's gonnago to anybody else's house.
SPEAKER_04 (03:05):
No, I I suppose not.
SPEAKER_02 (03:07):
He lives here.
This is this is his permanentresidence.
SPEAKER_04 (03:10):
This is one of those things that uh I want him to, I
don't know if we can just keephim in his room.
And I'm not saying lock him inthis room.
No, no, no.
But like maybe there's an AI tokeep him occupied if he wakes up
in his room.
He has an AI in his room.
There is, yeah, but but I mean,uh, the AI in his room is um the
(03:31):
Amazon product, and it's notgonna stop him when he gets up
and say, no, don't go in there.
SPEAKER_02 (03:36):
He's gonna say, why?
You know he's gonna ask amillion questions until he gets
to the answer.
SPEAKER_04 (03:41):
But there is an AI for everything, or as Boris
Johnson says, AI.
And I saw something today that Iwanted to talk to you about.
I'm not gonna tell you the nameof this product because I'm not
recommending it, but I saw aproduct.
The advertisement was they callit the anti-gaslighting app.
(04:02):
Couples can now record eachother during arguments and get a
detailed breakdown of who saidwhat with AI.
SPEAKER_02 (04:08):
All right.
So basically, this is a plot ofa friend's episode because
Phoebe decides she's going to dothat and she journals everything
that Monica and Chandler talkabout.
And then when they get in adisagreement, she looks in her
journal and says, Well, I knowwho really said it or what time
you agreed upon, but she won'ttell them what it was.
So basically, they've they'vecreated AI to be Phoebe Buffet.
SPEAKER_04 (04:30):
Well, this is uh billing itself as your your
number one AI relationship coachthat helps couples reconnect,
improve communication, andunderstand each other better.
SPEAKER_02 (04:40):
No, all this is gonna say is see, I was right
and you were wrong.
SPEAKER_04 (04:44):
Wait, me being right?
SPEAKER_02 (04:46):
Or no, it whoever was right and whoever, then the
other person's pissed.
SPEAKER_04 (04:50):
Well, here's the thing that amuses me about this.
How it works is that you aresupposed to get in an argument,
right?
Well, you're not supposed to getan argument, but you're you get
in an argument, you need to havethe presence of mind to stop,
turn this thing on so it recordsyou, yeah, and then continue
arguing.
Now, that would absolutely stopthe argument as far as I was
(05:14):
concerned, because you wouldreach for the phone to start the
recording and I would bust outmy ass laughing.
Yes.
I'd be like, What do you thinkyou are doing right now?
Like that that's the dumbestthing I've ever heard.
And listen, I am not down forit.
I absolutely do not need Skynettelling me that I get too
defensive when we talk about thelaundry that's sitting right
(05:35):
over there.
SPEAKER_02 (05:35):
Oh, I hadn't noticed that.
SPEAKER_04 (05:37):
Yeah, so this is not a thing that no man wants this.
No man wants and and I will tellyou that I don't think no women
want this either.
SPEAKER_02 (05:47):
Or probably non-binary people as well.
I just don't think people wantthis.
But I do tell you that I kind ofwant it when Winthrop starts to
argue with me because the otherday he was getting so mad about
he's really into drawing rightnow, and he was getting so mad
because he was trying to dosomething, he couldn't do it
well.
And I said, I remember a coupleweeks ago you were drawing and
you were getting reallyfrustrated, and then you stopped
and you came back to it and andI c commented on that, and you
(06:10):
said, Yeah, I just needed totake a break and walk away, and
then I could come back and doit.
And he said, I've never saidthat before in my life.
And he got really mad when Ireminded him.
So I need whatever this app is.
SPEAKER_04 (06:21):
Well, we have threatened both of our younger
children with the next time youbehave like this, we're gonna
videotape you so that we canplay it back for you.
And neither of them like thatidea at all.
SPEAKER_02 (06:34):
That's because they didn't know what videotape was.
SPEAKER_04 (06:36):
Okay, you know what I'm saying.
What happened to yes and itjackass?
SPEAKER_02 (06:40):
Well, no, I wanted to point out that you said tape
and it was funny to me.
SPEAKER_04 (06:43):
Okay, well, we rind the tape.
We need to turn the the AI thingon and and we can see who said
what here.
But no, Winthrop is absolutelygoing through a stormy phase
right now.
He is Mr.
Grumpus, and I guess it has todo with the time change, right?
SPEAKER_02 (06:58):
I think so.
SPEAKER_04 (06:59):
And the um the time change and the fact that days
are getting shorter, so there'smore darkness in his heart.
SPEAKER_00 (07:08):
Heart of darkness.
SPEAKER_04 (07:10):
But he is definitely having a moment.
And whatever, we can handle mostthings.
Um, I want to know what thepeople out there think of this
situation.
So he's getting really grumpy inpublic as well, and something
that we're trying to deal with.
We went to a restaurant theother day, and the the person
who took our order insisted upontrying to talk to him.
(07:35):
Even after it was clear that hewas not interested in engaging,
this person just kept at, hey,what are you drawing?
Hey, you know this, uh, hey, didyou do you like this food or or
whatever?
Um, at some point, like I'm onthe kid's side.
Yeah, like I always want him tobe polite, but this was
badgering.
(07:55):
This is it went on for quitesome time.
This was harassment.
What do you do when you justwant the server?
Do you just say, Oh, he's not ina good mood right now?
Can you please not talk to him?
Well, that feels rude.
SPEAKER_02 (08:08):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (08:08):
So what do you say?
SPEAKER_02 (08:09):
Yeah, and then if you say, Oh, you know, he's
tired or he's grumpy orwhatever, then you're like
dismissing the child's behaviorin front of the child.
So I I don't know.
SPEAKER_04 (08:17):
Well, I do think that he was tired, but I just
don't think that that we wouldhave gotten very far with him at
that point.
It was obvious that he did notwant to talk to this gentleman.
SPEAKER_02 (08:28):
No, he was also very grumpy at that point in last
week because he had fallen andhe kept saying his tongue hurt.
And I mean, whatever, he'sbitten his tongue before.
He's been eating a tortilla chipand he jams it and is like gum
or whatever.
I so I didn't really investigateit.
And when I picked him up fromschool, he said, I bit my
tongue, it was bleeding, butit's better now.
Like he just doesn't want totalk about it.
(08:50):
So two days go by and he's stilltalking about his tongue.
And I I said, Let me see it.
And he said, Can you take apicture of it?
His entire molar print was onthe right side of his tongue.
I mean, he bit the mess out ofthis.
And it took him about because hewhat he was doing is playing
gaga and he jumped over the walland fell and hit his chin on the
(09:11):
ground, and his tongue happenedto unfortunately be between his
teeth.
And it took him about a week tobe able to eat stuff that wasn't
just like soft.
So all he was eating was whiterice at this restaurant.
So he was just grumpy about thattoo.
SPEAKER_04 (09:23):
Sure.
And I'd forgotten about thatactually.
But what what do you do?
Tell us, listener out there, ifyou've got kids and it's clear
that the kid doesn't want toengage and the server still
wants to engage.
Like, what do you say?
Like, I'm genuinely asking forhelp here.
Email us at familiarwilsons atgmail.com and tell us what you
would do.
SPEAKER_02 (09:44):
Clearly, I don't know.
I was there and I didn't helpit.
What I did was I got him up andleft with him.
I took him to because we were inin in we're nearby a grocery
store, and so I took him intothe grocery store and got him
some liquid yogurt because thatwas the only thing he could
have.
So I think some of it is justbeing hungry, and I definitely
think he hits a threshold ofhangry real fast sometimes.
And then also he's he's justtired, and also he's really over
(10:07):
school right now.
I think he has senioritis inthird grade.
SPEAKER_04 (10:10):
Oh, we got really big problems if that's the case.
The other thing that Idiscovered this week is I have
legitimately forgotten how tobowl.
SPEAKER_02 (10:19):
Oh, you were really unhappy.
SPEAKER_04 (10:22):
When I was a kid, I used to bowl, and I'm not saying
I was a great bowler, I didn'tgo on the tour or anything.
Um, but I could throw a balldown a lane and and hit a pin
every time.
Yes.
Not so the other night.
SPEAKER_02 (10:36):
Yeah, last night, friend.
SPEAKER_04 (10:38):
Yeah, it feels like so long ago.
I I would get a gutter and thenknock down eight, which was
really freaking frustrating.
But I don't know what it is.
I've forgotten how to bowl.
Have you ever forgotten likesomething that you used to know
how to do, like a physicalthing, and you've just forgotten
how to do it?
SPEAKER_02 (10:58):
Sometimes when I'm crocheting, if it's been a
really long time, I have toremind myself of like the hand
movements and stuff.
I but that's I mean it's butit's been how long has that been
since you've bowled?
I don't think that you and Ihave ever bowled together and
we've been together for 12years.
SPEAKER_04 (11:13):
Okay, then 12 years ago is last time I bowled.
Oh, because when I worked withteenagers, yeah.
I remember the day well.
Um the I used to work withteenagers that whole time, and
we would take the the kidsbowling.
That was the thing that we did.
Like, I used to know how tobowl.
SPEAKER_02 (11:29):
Yeah, I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_04 (11:30):
And I don't know if like my body is so different
now.
They say that that your bodyrenews its cells like what every
seven years or something likethat.
So every seven years, basicallyyou have a whole new body, which
by the way, I'm kind of callingbullshit on that because like my
cells have been renewing.
I'm not getting a new body, it'sjust an older body, right?
Like my cells have fucked upsomehow.
(11:52):
But this new body that I have isnever bowled, yeah, is what it
is.
Like the body a few cellgenerations before, that body
has bowled.
This body's never bowled.
SPEAKER_02 (12:03):
Yeah, so Winthrop decided, not sure why, that he
wanted to go bowling.
I think it started when we metfriend of the podcast, Josh Scar
and his family at DisneySprings, and we had dinner at
what it was it, Splitzville orwhatever it's called.
SPEAKER_00 (12:16):
Something like that.
SPEAKER_02 (12:16):
Um, in in Winthrop wanted to bowl, but you I mean,
you had to reserve a lane andall this.
So we we took him bowling.
First of all, it has been a longtime since I've taken and paid
for anybody to go bowling.
That was really expensive.
SPEAKER_04 (12:30):
Well, things are getting more expensive.
There's a tariff on pins.
SPEAKER_02 (12:33):
It was fifty-one dollars for the three of us to
bowl for an hour.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
And and he can't and I he wasarguing with me about putting
the bumpers up before we evergot there.
I was trying to head it off.
It was like, listen, you neverhave done this before.
This is going to be difficult.
It's going to be something likewhen you first started riding
(12:54):
your bike, you're gonna have todo it over and over and you're
gonna get better at it.
But we need to use the bumpers.
No, no, I don't, I don't know, Idon't need the bumpers.
I know how to bowl.
I'm really good at it.
So then I looked at him and Isaid, Wait, you've bowled?
And he said, No, I haven't, butI'm really good at it.
I know that I am.
SPEAKER_04 (13:09):
I need the bumpers.
SPEAKER_02 (13:10):
Well, so he got the bumpers and he was fine.
Look out of the three games weplayed, maybe four of his
attempts did wouldn't haveneeded a bumper.
SPEAKER_00 (13:17):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (13:18):
But he was fine once we got there, but then he just
discovered there was an arcadeand then laser tag, and he got
real bored with bowling realfast and wanted to do other
things.
SPEAKER_04 (13:28):
Yeah, so anyway, there's our bowling adventure.
Um, Winthrop needs the bumpers.
He did okay, and I needed thebumpers too because I did not do
okay.
You won't do the games that weplayed.
SPEAKER_02 (13:40):
Well, I I kind of threw the last one and started
just like because you wereyelling at me that I wasn't
rolling the ball, I was droppingit.
I don't know that I was yellingat I still got strikes since
bears, but anyway, so then Ijust I decided to try to
practice with my technique, andI kept getting gutter balls
every time.
So clearly, you you're not avery good bowling instructor.
SPEAKER_04 (14:07):
Weather alert, weather alert, weather alert.
SPEAKER_02 (14:11):
It's cold outside.
SPEAKER_04 (14:12):
Weather alert from South Florida.
SPEAKER_02 (14:14):
Oh, from South Florida.
Iguanas are falling out oftrees.
SPEAKER_04 (14:17):
Weather update, falling iguana alert is is an
actual update that I saw thatwas a screenshot of a TV screen
from South Florida, fallingiguana alert.
SPEAKER_02 (14:28):
I did not mean to step on that joke.
I just was like, oh wait, it'scold.
They're gonna fall out of trees.
SPEAKER_04 (14:33):
No, you didn't step on the joke because it's not a
joke, it's real, it's a thing.
And I don't know if if thepeople listening who aren't in
South Florida are aware thatthis is a thing that happens
every year, the falling iguanas.
SPEAKER_02 (14:44):
Explain it.
SPEAKER_04 (14:46):
Well, uh iguanas are reptilian in nature, they're big
too.
They are, and so they can theythey're cold-blooded, they can't
regulate um their bodytemperature.
So when it gets cold, they gointo a state of hibernation.
So if they're in a tree and itgets cold, they freeze, they
fall out the tree.
And you gotta be careful.
And the warning, of course, isdon't touch them, they're not
(15:07):
dead.
The sun will come out tomorrow,tomorrow, and they'll warm up
and they'll park up and they'llgo about their their business.
And so people like will go andthey'll they'll pick them up or
they'll take them home or someshit like that, and the thing
will wake up and they of coursefreak the fuck out.
SPEAKER_02 (15:24):
So what were they gonna do with it?
They thought it was taxidermied,like what did they think?
Put it on a mantle?
SPEAKER_04 (15:30):
I don't know, or maybe they don't want them to go
take it and throw it awaybecause the damn thing's still
alive, don't throw it away, justleave it alone.
Yes, but I that just amuses meno end.
It's like one of those littlequirks about living in South
Florida is the the weather coolsdown, the songs of of snow and
mistletoe go on the radio, andthe iguanas fall out of the
tree.
SPEAKER_02 (15:50):
Have you ever seen it happen?
SPEAKER_04 (15:52):
I've never seen it happen, but I've seen frozen
iguanas on you know, on thespace.
SPEAKER_02 (15:57):
Um, oh my god.
I wonder they must fall onpeople, right?
SPEAKER_04 (16:02):
I I would guess.
SPEAKER_02 (16:03):
I mean, odds are that would hurt though, because
they're not light things.
They probably weigh like 10, 15pounds.
SPEAKER_04 (16:10):
Oh, I don't think they weigh 10 pounds.
SPEAKER_02 (16:12):
They weigh five pounds.
SPEAKER_04 (16:13):
I think that you're thinking of monitor lizards or
Komodo drivers.
SPEAKER_02 (16:17):
I mean, iguanas are like this big though, yeah?
SPEAKER_04 (16:19):
Okay, yeah.
Well the cameras aren't on you.
SPEAKER_02 (16:21):
That's like a foot and a half long.
SPEAKER_04 (16:22):
Yeah, well, they're they they would hurt if they
fell on you frozen solid andshort.
SPEAKER_02 (16:27):
So I wonder, so that just made me think about this.
Has nothing to do with winterand falling iguanas, but just
thinking about things thatshould happen more frequently.
Uh, you and I both worked at acamp in or two different camps
in in North Carolina.
There was a guy, he was acounselor or staff.
Uh he came to opening sessionand his face was just clawed,
like just clawed up.
He happened to be in thecrossfire of a squirrel jumping
(16:50):
from one tree to the other, andhis face went right in the
squirrel's path.
So the squirrel latched onto hisface.
SPEAKER_04 (16:57):
Are you saying that the squirrel failed to notice
that he was there?
Or that he moved and he wasjogging in that.
SPEAKER_02 (17:03):
He was just that fast.
SPEAKER_04 (17:04):
It's like that that YouTube clip, that old YouTube
clip of Randy Johnson, thepitcher throwing the ball and a
bird happened to so same thingexcept the squirrel in the guy's
face.
SPEAKER_02 (17:14):
Yes.
And I saw the scratches, so Iknow that it happened, but
that's gonna happen more oftenthan we hear about, right?
SPEAKER_04 (17:20):
Yeah, I guess so.
So so folks, this has been yourweather alert and squirrel alert
from the Wilsons.
SPEAKER_02 (17:39):
Weather alert from Amanda.
Weather alert.
SPEAKER_04 (17:42):
No, we're we're done with this.
SPEAKER_02 (17:43):
No, no, no.
I have one.
I got a weather alert on myphone, and I yeah, you I sent it
to you because I sent it to theBelsons too.
It was the weather channel alertpopped up on my phone and it
said weather alert increasedspider activity.
SPEAKER_04 (17:56):
What?
SPEAKER_02 (17:57):
Yes, and it said that due to whatever weather
systems are in the area and thetemperatures, that we will see
an increased activity withspiders and to make sure that
you're like keeping everythingsprayed outside so they don't
come into your home.
I've never seen a spider alertcome from the weather channel.
SPEAKER_04 (18:15):
It just goes to show how much this world is on fire
that we need next next winter.
It's I swear to God, it's gonnabe falling iguana alert,
followed by the spider alert,and then the locusts.
Then the locusts will comelocust alert, and then like
rivers flowing red with blood.
SPEAKER_02 (18:32):
That's right.
So last night we're asleep.
About 11:30, my phone startsringing, and I look at it and
it's Muffy calling me fromdownstairs.
SPEAKER_00 (18:42):
That's good.
SPEAKER_02 (18:44):
Panicked, I need you.
There's a big spider down here,and I can't get it.
So I get up, I go downstairs, Ilook, and it is.
SPEAKER_04 (18:52):
This thing had better been the size of like a
baseball mitt.
SPEAKER_02 (18:56):
I mean, no, it was about that big.
SPEAKER_04 (18:59):
This is an audio medium.
SPEAKER_02 (19:00):
Okay, it was about the size of that's not even a
half dollar.
It's bigger than that.
I like a chocolate chip cookie.
SPEAKER_04 (19:07):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (19:08):
I mean, it was big.
SPEAKER_04 (19:09):
And now all I'm picturing is she's calling you
panic because there's achocolate chip cookie on the
floor.
SPEAKER_02 (19:16):
So it's under the ottoman, and she's just sitting
on the ground staring under theottoman.
And so I'm trying to figure outwhat to do.
In the meantime, here comesWinthrop wandering around
looking for us out of his bed.
Came, I could hear his littlefeet running around.
Came in here, wasn't happy thathe found just you here.
So then he came to the stairsand she said, We're down here.
(19:39):
So he comes down, he wants tosee the spider, then the dog
comes.
So last night at like 11:45, me,Winthrop, uh, Muffy, and the dog
are downstairs trying to problemsolve this spider.
So I go, I get a cup, I move theottoman, I put the thing over
the cup over the spider, I slidea piece of paper and I take it
(20:02):
outside, and then I have a talkwith the spider.
Well, Muffy had to talk first.
She told him not to come back.
And then I told it to please nottell its friends that were kind
and compassionate and didn'tkill it.
Tell its friends that all thepeople that go in there die,
stay outside.
SPEAKER_04 (20:18):
Yeah, and then that's we killed all the other
spiders, and we sent one spiderback outside to tell the rest of
them.
I've seen that movie.
SPEAKER_02 (20:29):
And I left, I left it with the cup, and I said, I
will come back for this cup inthe morning.
And I came back in the morningand it's gone.
Now I think that the chocolatechip spider is wearing this cup
like a shell, like a hermitcrab, somewhere in our
neighborhood.
SPEAKER_04 (20:42):
What cup was it?
Was it a cup we liked?
SPEAKER_02 (20:44):
No, it's one of the solo cups, the recyclable solo
cups.
SPEAKER_04 (20:47):
All right.
Thank you.
Well, that's it's our secondweather alert.
I think that was a spider alert.
I don't know what that was.
(21:08):
So I've got this book that's gotnotes of all the stuff that I
want to talk about, andsometimes it's just like a
sentence.
And I don't know why I wrotethis, but one of the topics that
I intended to cover was justmusic during sex.
SPEAKER_02 (21:23):
It's probably because you were thinking of
should we put mus noise on so hecan't hear anything.
SPEAKER_04 (21:29):
Uh no, but I think we've we've covered that before
that I can't, yeah, I can't havemusic on.
SPEAKER_02 (21:34):
Then you try to get a rhythm or whatever then.
SPEAKER_04 (21:36):
No, it's it's no, it doesn't work that way.
Um, it would need to beasynchronous music.
Yes.
And I can't have we've talkedabout this.
I can't have lyrics because thenum I don't want to be thinking
about the lyrics all of asudden.
Oh, that's very interesting.
Cake by the ocean.
Oh, sorry, dear.
Um, so anyway, I really don'tknow why I put that, so we won't
(21:56):
talk about it.
SPEAKER_02 (21:57):
Are you recording?
SPEAKER_04 (21:58):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (21:59):
Oh god, I thought you and I were just having a
conversation.
SPEAKER_04 (22:02):
No.
Oh it is time to give theanswers to the song quiz.
You remember the uh you rememberthe clues to the song quiz,
(22:25):
dear?
SPEAKER_02 (22:25):
I I do.
It's something about oh god, whowas the man?
Who is the man?
SPEAKER_04 (22:31):
It was just to let everyone know, it's a cryptic
clue about a song title and asong artist.
And you all out there and Amandatry to guess what song and
artist I'm referring to.
The um the song title was whatyou say to Mr.
Cheetle When Man United Scores.
SPEAKER_02 (22:50):
Yes, Cheetle.
I couldn't think of who theperson was we were talking
about.
SPEAKER_04 (22:53):
And the artist or band is The Magic That I Do to
Bag Myself a Deer.
Did you get this one?
SPEAKER_02 (23:00):
I definitely got this one.
Right after we recorded, I gotthis one.
SPEAKER_04 (23:04):
Go ahead and talk us through what you say to Mr.
Cheetle when Man United Scores.
SPEAKER_02 (23:09):
Okay, so Mr.
Cheetle.
SPEAKER_04 (23:10):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:11):
Don Cheetle.
SPEAKER_04 (23:12):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:12):
Famously of the Yorkshire accent in Oceans
Eleven, or what was that accentthat he did?
He did a Cockney accent.
SPEAKER_04 (23:20):
Cockney, not even close to Yorkshire.
SPEAKER_02 (23:22):
I'm just making up uh areas now.
Anyway, Don Cheetle.
Yes.
So Don.
SPEAKER_04 (23:27):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (23:27):
And then when Man You or whoever you say Man
United scores.
Scores, you say goal.
Right.
So it's gold Don, which thenbecomes golden.
SPEAKER_04 (23:36):
Golden is the song.
And the artist or band is themagic that I do to bag myself a
deer.
SPEAKER_02 (23:42):
Okay, so bagging a deer, that's hunting, right?
Which I don't don't go do.
I don't like it.
And then it's if it's magical,then you're doing a trick.
SPEAKER_04 (23:49):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (23:50):
So you're hunting trick.
SPEAKER_04 (23:51):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (23:51):
Your Hun Trix.
SPEAKER_04 (23:52):
Hun Trix.
SPEAKER_02 (23:53):
It is golden by Huntryx from K-pop Demon
Hunters.
SPEAKER_04 (23:58):
By the way, we've got an incredible amount of
listens from South Korea.
Have we really?
On the two episodes that wementioned K-pop Demon Hunters.
Yeah, no.
So it was two episodes ago.
Then we didn't talk about it.
And then last episode we talkedabout it.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (24:13):
Do you put it in the title?
Like what they're searching andthey find us, or what happens?
SPEAKER_04 (24:17):
I did, and I put it in the description.
So anyway, we asked you if youcould get the song quiz, and we
did have one answer.
SPEAKER_02 (24:26):
Only one person?
Yes.
SPEAKER_04 (24:28):
Yes.
So it's golden by Hunter's.
I got it in 30 seconds, and Iwould like a prize.
Belated happy birthday to Muffyand Winthrop.
From Kate, our neighbor Kate.
SPEAKER_02 (24:40):
Our neighbor Kate.
Hey Kate.
SPEAKER_04 (24:42):
Yeah, Kate got it.
So there you go.
And then I said, excellent.
Any guesses on what our Scottishfriend said?
And she says, Oh, I gotdistracted and didn't listen to
that part.
SPEAKER_02 (24:52):
It's okay, Kate.
No one knows what he says ever.
SPEAKER_04 (24:55):
Okay, so that was the second part of our little
quiz section in last week'sepisode.
We have our friend John Watson.
He is Scottish.
And so therefore, he's when hespeaks, it's unintelligible.
So I get a big kick out ofquizzing Amanda and you all to
see if you can tell what it isthat he's talking about.
(25:17):
So just to remind you what hesaid last week.
SPEAKER_03 (25:21):
Your bum's out the windy.
Your bums at the windy.
All right, what is it?
SPEAKER_02 (25:27):
So he sounds like he's saying your bum's out the
windy.
Like your bum, your bottom's outof the window.
SPEAKER_04 (25:33):
Your bum is out the window.
SPEAKER_02 (25:34):
Yes.
And I think it means just likelike when people say you're
talking out of your ass, like Ithink like you're just you just
don't know what you're talkingabout.
You're just making stuff up.
SPEAKER_03 (25:42):
All right, so let's see what that means.
Your bums at the wendy.
That means you're talkingnonsense.
SPEAKER_02 (25:49):
Yeah, there you go, right?
SPEAKER_04 (25:50):
Yep, you got it.
SPEAKER_02 (25:51):
I did get it.
SPEAKER_03 (25:52):
No one else got it.
SPEAKER_02 (25:53):
I get to move to Scotland.
Is that what that means?
There's so there's quizzes.
That's the entrance, right?
Like when you come to the US andyou have to take your
citizenship ship, ship, ship,ship.
So hard word to say.
Citizenship test, that's whatyou gotta do when you try to
become a citizen.
SPEAKER_04 (26:08):
You have to understand John.
He does not live close enough toany of their major ports of call
for him to be the guy to dothat.
SPEAKER_02 (26:15):
I'm fairly certain there are others like him.
SPEAKER_04 (26:18):
A whole country full, some would say.
(27:00):
Amanda, we have our backwardsmovie plot quiz.
Very easy.
I don't even need to explain it.
I'm gonna give you the plot of amovie backwards, and you tell me
what the movie is.
You should get all of these.
There are five of them.
You should get all of them.
SPEAKER_02 (27:13):
Are these movies I have seen or am aware of?
SPEAKER_04 (27:16):
Yes.
SPEAKER_02 (27:17):
Okay.
SPEAKER_04 (27:17):
Alright, so the first one
eats pea soup and then calmsdown.
SPEAKER_00 (27:24):
The exorcism.
That's so good.
That is the exorcism.
That's so good.
SPEAKER_04 (27:31):
Alright, next.
A man loses a big fight, punchesbeef with decreasing fervency,
and then becomes an increasinglyunknown boxer.
SPEAKER_02 (27:40):
I mean, I've not seen this, but I'm gonna go with
Rocky.
SPEAKER_04 (27:44):
That is the plot to Rocky, absolutely.
SPEAKER_02 (27:47):
I just know that he punches some meat.
Um they still cook the meat?
Did he like tenderize it, or wasit that this is just now his
punching bag?
SPEAKER_04 (27:55):
A couple falls out of love, making the man
increasingly angry andreclusive.
Prone to talking to householditems.
SPEAKER_02 (28:05):
Okay, so a man talks to household items, he becomes
increasingly reclusive or lessreclusive, and then he gets
angry and falls out of love withsomebody.
SPEAKER_04 (28:18):
Uh let me try this again.
You're thinking too hard aboutit.
Again, this is the backwardsmovie plot.
A couple falls out of love,making the man increasingly
angry and reclusive and prone totalking to household items.
SPEAKER_02 (28:31):
Oh, this is the shining.
SPEAKER_04 (28:35):
Actually, it's funny how some of these backwards
movie plots are the forwardmovie plots of some movie.
It is not the shining.
SPEAKER_02 (28:43):
But but he goes crazy and he talks to the things
in the yes, this is thebackwards plot.
Listen, I can't.
Okay.
Um So does that mean if theyfall out of love, they fall in
love?
SPEAKER_04 (28:55):
All the information's on the task.
SPEAKER_02 (28:57):
No, no, you're not a looks horn.
Um I don't know.
I can't do this one.
SPEAKER_04 (29:03):
Beauty and the beast.
SPEAKER_02 (29:06):
But they don't fall out of love, they fall in love.
SPEAKER_04 (29:08):
Yes, but this is the fucking opposite.
It's the opposite.
SPEAKER_02 (29:11):
No, opposite is not backwards.
SPEAKER_04 (29:14):
We are not, we are not arguing here.
SPEAKER_02 (29:16):
Okay, so get the app.
Opposite is not backwards,friend.
Backwards means that because yousaid that she ate pea soup.
Well, she had to eat pea soup tobe able to spew it, but they
didn't fall out of love.
SPEAKER_04 (29:29):
I don't like it.
Let's let's get Susie Dent inhere.
Um, you didn't get that right.
SPEAKER_02 (29:34):
Because you wrote it wrong.
SPEAKER_04 (29:35):
Next, three film students grow increasingly calm,
emerge from the woods with theirvideo cameras erased, and look
forward to attending filmschool.
SPEAKER_02 (29:46):
Okay, see, this one you did backwards.
This is the Blair Witch project.
SPEAKER_04 (29:51):
That is correct.
So you got that right.
So one more, ready?
A man gives up the familybusiness, helps resurrect many
people, and attends a wedding.
SPEAKER_02 (30:04):
This is the story of Jesus.
This is the Passion of Christ.
SPEAKER_04 (30:08):
No, what movie is this?
SPEAKER_02 (30:11):
A man attends a wedding?
SPEAKER_04 (30:13):
A man gives up the family business, helps resurrect
many people, and attends awedding.
SPEAKER_02 (30:19):
Is that four weddings and a funeral?
SPEAKER_04 (30:21):
It is clearly the Godfather.
SPEAKER_02 (30:23):
Oh.
SPEAKER_04 (30:27):
So you got four out of five.
SPEAKER_02 (30:30):
I got three out of five.
SPEAKER_04 (30:31):
Oh, did you?
Okay.
Just so folks know that theGodfather backwards is the story
of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ.
It is email time.
If you'd like to drop us a line,send it to familiarwilsons at
(30:54):
gmail.com.
So we have a a little missivefrom our friend Leo that is
titled Six Seven and OtherMusings.
SPEAKER_02 (31:06):
Six Seven.
SPEAKER_04 (31:07):
He says, Hey Wilsons, hope you're enjoying
some cooler temperatures.
We are.
We are.
It's lovely.
It's supposed to freezetomorrow, and so I've gone into
the back garden and coveredthree plants with some sheets.
SPEAKER_02 (31:19):
It's the only ones we like.
SPEAKER_04 (31:20):
That's right.
He says the humidity has brokenfinally here in Ohio.
That's a song, isn't it?
Humidity has broken here inOhio.
SPEAKER_02 (31:30):
You should be on the tourism board.
SPEAKER_04 (31:33):
He says we are all bracing for our typical Indian
summer, whereas we suddenly hada weird stretch of summer-like
weather in November.
I'm not familiar with that term,but I guess that's what it
means.
Okay, didn't know that.
Before I forget, I also want togive a huge shout out to Muffy
and her friends for taking careof that poor girl on the
sidewalk.
Doesn't matter how or why sheended up in that state.
(31:54):
We were all young and stupidbefore too.
I'm just glad social mediadidn't exist when we were that
age.
I'm trying to think.
I don't think that I didanything that I would have been
ashamed that social mediacaught.
Except for, of course, mygeneral just social awkwardness.
(32:14):
My existence.
That's right.
That's enough to be embarrassed.
SPEAKER_02 (32:17):
If you fall asleep with like a bucket of KFC on
your chest one time in your car,that would be interesting.
No.
I've made that up.
SPEAKER_04 (32:23):
You have made that a little bit.
SPEAKER_02 (32:24):
I've conflated a whole bunch of different stories
I know about you.
SPEAKER_04 (32:28):
This, though, is a different boyfriend, is what
you're thinking of.
SPEAKER_02 (32:30):
Nope.
Those get electrocuted bylightning.
SPEAKER_04 (32:33):
Um, he says, kudos to her for insisting that you
use location tracking for her.
Our daughter balked at thisidea.
She took it more as we would bespying on her.
Our sons, not so much.
We use Life 360, and ouryoungest loves using it against
us because it also shows howfast you're driving.
He once took a screenshot of ourwife driving 90 miles an hour on
(32:56):
the freeway and sent it to her.
SPEAKER_02 (32:58):
Oh no.
Yeah, we just do um Apple familysharing location.
It doesn't say how fast I amgoing.
SPEAKER_04 (33:08):
Not a sponsor.
Oh no, no, but we have our ourcar insurance to show us that.
In fact, I think that on our carinsurance app that tracks our
movements and tracks our speedand tracks all these this
different things when we'redriving and then gives us a
discount based on our score.
I believe I have the highestscore.
SPEAKER_02 (33:27):
You do.
You have a 97.
Muffy has a 93 and I have noffyhas a 95 and I have a 93.
But we did get a$60 a monthdiscount off of that.
SPEAKER_04 (33:37):
Yeah, very good.
So there you go.
I mean, we probably would havegotten 75 if you didn't freaking
have a 93, but whatever.
SPEAKER_02 (33:43):
I wasn't going 90 miles an hour, though.
SPEAKER_04 (33:46):
He says, Josh, I must say you are a fascinating
specimen.
Thank you, Leo.
You not knowing who Herb Alpertwas genuinely caused me to let
out an audible gasp.
He's been one of the highestrespected horn players since
dirt.
Not that I'm necessarily a fanof his, but he's so well known
it's almost impossible not toknow of him.
Well, Leo, don't know what totell you.
(34:06):
You'd think that I wouldremember a musician called Herb,
but the only Herb that I'm awareof is Herb Tarlick from WKRP in
Cincinnati, one of my favoriteshows.
He continues, as for thestrangest thing seen while
driving, because that is aquestion we asked a couple of
episodes ago.
For me, it was seeing one ofthose tiny smart cars being
(34:26):
rolled over because an old ladytapped its back bumper in a
roundabout.
What?
Me and the other drivers helpedthe guy out of the car.
He was a big guy, so it waspretty comical that he was
driving it.
He wasn't injured save for ascrape and bloodied elbow.
SPEAKER_02 (34:41):
My goodness.
Like you just tap it and itrolls over.
Forget taking that out on aninterstate.
SPEAKER_04 (34:47):
I don't know why they call them smart cars
because it's the dumbest lookingthing you've ever seen.
It has no back half.
No, I know.
It's just the front half andthen it ends.
Stupid.
To me, like the bigger the caris, the more armored the car is,
the better.
SPEAKER_02 (35:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Especially when you're puttingyour children out on the road.
SPEAKER_04 (35:05):
Yeah, that's right.
Well, don't don't don't put yourkid out on the road.
It's very dangerous.
SPEAKER_02 (35:09):
Put them in a car.
And then put them out on theroad.
SPEAKER_04 (35:11):
And then he goes on and he offers another
explanation for 6'7.
And weirdly, it's one that I'venot heard.
He said, last he asked for 6'7,a young basketball phenom from
Kentucky named Talen Kinney isto blame.
He said it, he said it just tobe silly during interview.
He said he was nervous, and likemany of us, humor is his go-to
(35:32):
when he's nervous.
He admits it means nothing.
The rest is meme history.
And to take advantage of thisviral moment, he's even launched
a 6'7 water brand.
SPEAKER_02 (35:41):
Water?
SPEAKER_04 (35:42):
Yeah, I guess.
Why would you go for water?
Good luck to that young man.
Last I saw he's gonna play for auniversity in Atlanta.
SPEAKER_02 (35:51):
Well, good.
SPEAKER_04 (35:52):
And he says, no, I don't know the answer to the
song quiz.
SPEAKER_02 (35:55):
Okay, it was golden.
It's just because you have to gowatch the K-pop demon hunters.
Well, thank you, Leo.
It's always wonderful to hearfrom you.
And thanks.
Yeah, thanks for um the kudosfor Muffy and her friends.
We are very, very proud of thesegirls that they are becoming,
and I think we can only takevery little credit.
SPEAKER_04 (36:13):
I think that we can take a lot of credit.
I believe in nurture and nature,and both of those happened here.
So that is a thing.
If you want to email us,familiarwilsons at gmail.com.
Tell us how it's going.
We want to know, and then we'llwe'll read it on on the uh the
(36:33):
pod, and you will be rich andfamous beyond all the dreams of
Avarice.
SPEAKER_01 (36:38):
No one likes to be told what to do.
SPEAKER_04 (36:40):
And now is the time in the program where we tell you
what to do.
Amanda, what should we do?
SPEAKER_02 (36:45):
This is me telling you, this is my annual reminder
to you that the holiday bakingchallenge has started on the
Food Network.
It is my favorite.
I love it.
Jesse Palmer, bless him.
He was a Florida gator, he wasnot great bachelor, and um, but
I just enjoy him.
He's goofy and it's just soheartwarming and lovely.
(37:06):
And I'm so excited about theholiday season and like my inner
just I want to have all thethings.
I want all the I want all thepeppermint bark and I want all
the cozy jammies, and I want afireplace that I don't have, and
I want lots of twinkly lights.
I tried to talk Josh intoletting us hire somebody to do
the lights on the house, and hesaid no.
And I want to go sledding, and Iwant a Christmas tree in every
(37:27):
room, and I love Christmas treesand windows, and I love
Christmas trees on the top ofcars, and I could keep going and
going and going, but just gowatch the holiday baking
challenge on the Food Networkbecause I hear this might be its
last year.
SPEAKER_04 (37:40):
I'm sorry, sledding?
SPEAKER_02 (37:42):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_04 (37:44):
Have you ever been sledding?
No, but I want to.
It's overrated.
SPEAKER_02 (37:48):
Have you been sledding?
SPEAKER_04 (37:50):
I have.
Snow in general, very overrated.
SPEAKER_02 (37:52):
Oh, I love snow.
SPEAKER_04 (37:53):
Have you ever been in snow?
SPEAKER_02 (37:55):
Yes, the marriage 1.0 in-laws live in northern
Minnesota.
I've been in lots of snow.
SPEAKER_04 (38:00):
Yeah, we saw how that worked out before you,
didn't we?
SPEAKER_02 (38:02):
Right, but no, I want to go sledging as the Brits
say.
Why do you guys say that?
Why do you have to put a soft Gin there?
Why is it sledging?
That sounds that sounds harsh.
I don't like it.
Say sledding.
SPEAKER_04 (38:24):
Alright, Amanda, that's all there is.
There is no more.
What'd you think about all that?
SPEAKER_02 (38:29):
I'm still on sledging.
SPEAKER_04 (38:32):
Yes.
You you have the tendency tojust really perseverate on one
thing.
Why is that?
Is that where where Winthropgets it from?
SPEAKER_02 (38:40):
Probably.
And also, I was working fromhome today and I was sitting in
the bed and I was doing my work,and the dog saw somebody out of
the window because he likes toperch up on that chair.
And and he barked, but he keptbarking, and I thought, good
lord, this person is justhanging out in front of the.
No, the person was gone.
And he barked for 10 minutes.
He's just thinking about it.
This is clearly what I do.
I'm I'm mad about sledging.
(39:01):
This is this is my version ofthe dog yelling out of the
window, the phantom trail theperson walking left behind.
unknown (39:10):
Okay.
SPEAKER_02 (39:10):
I started out this episode happy.
I went on a rant about how Iwant to or not a rant.
I went on a monologue about howI want to go embrace all of
winter, and it's ended with mebeing mad at the dog and the
Brits.
SPEAKER_04 (39:23):
That's not how it's ending.
It's ending with us giving youour list of people without whom
we would not be able to hand youthis audio polished turd that

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.
