Marriage 2.0 with kids means romance, mustaches, and emergency key fob batteries.
In this installment of Super Familiar with the Wilsons, Josh discovers something surprising at a KPop Demon Hunter sing-along, we give a PSA about cars that die but really don't, a neighborhood HOA saga update, and a pink-slippers-on-a-scooter sighting that redefines road safety.
Listener stories bring tumbling couches, runaway cows, and Freaknik folklore.
Plus: the cryptic Song Quiz, “What the (Heck) John Say?” in Scottish, birthdays for Muffy & Winthrop, and a surprising KPop fan.
It's family, community, and chaos, in Gainesville and beyond, served with humor, heart, and just enough woo to make you sing along.

Super familiar with Welcome toSuper Familiar with the Wilsons.
Josh (00:32):
I'm Amanda.
And I'm Josh, and we are thepodcast about marriage 2.0 with
kids.
And all of those damn sidequests.
And today we're going to talkabout the power of communal
gathering as discovered througha children's movie.
But first, folks, the mustacheis back, babies.
(00:53):
Well, I mean, to be fair, themustache has been there the
whole time.
It's just there was a beardconnecting it all, or a goatee,
but now it is on its own.
Solo.
So you have opinions about themustache.
Yeah, but I'm not mad at itright now.
But I think I know what youdid.
You know, this is what you did.
You shaved.
Big Voice (01:12):
Yes, I did.
Josh (01:12):
And you shaved a mustache and this really like just not
great soul patch.
It wasn't even a soul patch.
I don't know what it was.
Big Voice (01:21):
It was a bristle brush.
Josh (01:22):
It was.
It was like you're just yourrazor ran out of batteries and
you had to quit because it wasperfectly like rectangle.
Like it wasn't, but it wassticking straight up.
Anyway.
Because now the beard hair,especially in that section, is
just totally white.
It just looked like I had takenthe bristles off of a
toothbrush and stuck it to myface.
And so I was trying to embraceall of you, and I didn't say
(01:48):
junk about it.
And we went about our dayyesterday, and you had it there.
But now that you have shavedthat part of it, I'm embracing
the mustache more.
So I think this is what you'vedone.
I look younger, don't I?
You do look younger, and you'veyou've stepped me into
appreciating the mustache.
Now you can pretend that you'rehaving a bed date with a much
younger man.
And you're a cougar.
(02:10):
No stop.
It's still a white and graymustache, friend.
I look 10 years younger.
You do?
I'm embracing it.
Um, so there you go.
It's not going to keep you frommaking whoopee with me.
Oh my God.
I just got okay with bed date.
Do not say whoopee to anyone.
What is this?
Is this the what is that?
The newlywed game from the 70s?
Yep, that's right.
Folks, if you've if you're tooyoung and you haven't heard the
(02:32):
newlywed game, you need to lookup bloopers from the newlywed
game.
It's very much worth it.
Like I said, we are going totalk about K-pop demon hunters.
But before that, I do want tomention my car situation as a
public service announcement.
Public service, public serviceannouncement.
Public service announcement.
My car would not start when Idropped Winthrop off at school
(02:55):
the other day.
What I like to do is I like topull up and I like to park and I
like to walk him up to thecones instead of dropping him
off on the traffic circle thatthey have.
It's just something I've alwaysdone with him.
He's still at the point wherehe lets me hold his hand,
although we're kind of iffy onthat sometimes.
And so it's a thing that Ireally enjoy.
So I park as usual.
(03:17):
I take him up, I come back, carwouldn't start.
JJ (03:20):
I know.
Josh (03:22):
I go to the principal and I'm like, You go to the
principal's office.
I went straight to theprincipal and I said, Is it
okay?
No, first thing I said was, um,do y'all have a jump?
Right.
And they did have one of thosejump boxes.
So the school resource officer,in other words, the sheriff's
deputy that hangs out there,grabbed that and we went to my
(03:44):
car, and the car was dead as adoornail.
So I went back to theprincipal.
I said, Look, is it okay if Ileave my car here?
Because I I gotta get to work.
I can't take care of this rightnow.
So you come, you take me towork, bada bing, bada boom, the
the day is done.
We go back the next day, thenext morning, uh, to try to jump
it because we had cables.
And so I got in the car.
(04:05):
I was like, Well, what theheck?
I'm gonna try to start it up.
I started up, it goes justfine.
I drive it home.
And I'm like, this is so weird,it doesn't make sense for it to
start up, for having aseemingly dead as a doornail
battery, and then the next dayhave it start up.
Made no sense to me until Istarted to to think about the
(04:28):
fact that I have a key fob thathas a battery that I've never
changed.
Okay.
And I've had this car for quitea while.
I was like, I wonder if thatcould have anything to do with
it.
So I looked it up and it'slike, absolutely, yes, it could.
Now, what I can't imagine isfor the the key fob to have kind
of died or had the battery havevery little power, and then me
(04:51):
not using it through the night,and then it having just enough
juice the next day to start thecar.
Well, you know what you're nottaking to account.
Oh, several things, but that'smy life.
I don't take things intoaccount.
You're not taking to accountthat the day that the car
stopped working, what day wasthat?
Friday.
And what day was Friday?
(05:12):
Uh the end of the no.
It was Halloween.
No, and the next day wasn't AllSaints Day.
And so your car played aHalloween trick on you, and then
it revived itself for AllSaints Day.
Yeah, it's either that or thefact that when I got in my car
this morning, turned it on,drove it uh to the drugstore to
(05:35):
buy a new battery for the fob.
I saw for the first time thelow battery key fob light.
Oh.
Or maybe I'd never noticed thatthere was a low fob key battery
light, um, or low low batterykey fob light, I should say.
Um, and I saw it for the firsttime this morning.
I was like, okay, well, thenthat's clearly what happened.
Does your car not have a keythough?
(05:56):
It does have a key.
Like your fob will come apartand be a key, right?
So you could have just usedthat.
Well, but I don't know where tostick it.
It's not evident where I needto stick it.
I mean, you're pretty good atsticking it places that it
should go, so you should findit.
Oh, here we go.
All right.
You're gonna sing about it.
We're gonna take a quick break,folks.
Be right back.
Oh, yeah.
(06:25):
Catch my breath.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um folks, I want you to knowthat the amount of time that
that that little musical droppedwas the actual amount of time
it took for me.
Anyway, let's let's move on.
JJ (06:42):
Um, so sorry to any of our children and our children's
friends who listen to thispodcast.
Josh (06:46):
Let's talk.
Yeah, I'm sorry for to you.
They'll be like, poor Amanda.
Um, we did go see K-pop DemonHunter for Winthrop's birthday
in the theater because they hada sing-along version.
So basically what happened wasNetflix made all this money and
they're like, hey, let's makesome more money.
Let's make it into a sing-alongand have the kids go to it.
(07:07):
So I I went to it because itwas a family.
You so didn't want to go.
No, I didn't.
And you were pissed at mebecause I brought my my AirPods.
You walked.
Okay, no.
All right.
So tomorrow is Muffy andWinthrop's birthday.
We have the same birthday.
Muffy's gonna be 19 tomorrow.
Went for Winthrop's gonna benine.
So I guess by the time thisepisode drops, happy birthday,
Muffy and Winthrop.
(07:28):
And if you know, if you'refollowing it, Winthrop loves
K-pop demon hunters.
Josh does not want to abide itat all.
Friend of the pod, Josh Gar,has been trying to talk him into
it, wasn't interested.
But then Muffy came up with theidea of taking Winthrop to the
sing along for his birthday, anearly birthday present.
(07:49):
Because y'all know if you go tothe movies now, it is an
expensive.
I mean, it's up there withbirthday gifts because it is an
expense.
So she got the tickets, wewent, and Josh says to me, Do I
have to go to this ninja movie?
So many things are wrong aboutthis statement, sir.
Yes, you have to go, it's yourchild's birthday present.
Second of all, no ninjas.
And then he's in the car justcalling it K-pop ninja hunters,
(08:12):
just to annoy Winthrop.
And so we went.
The man walks in with his airpods in his ears, in the ticket
line, like going, and I so Iyelled at him, and he was like,
No, it's just it's so it's nottoo loud.
I was like, You lie, you'relistening to Alan Carr's
podcast, and you know that youare.
I had thoughts of actuallyputting white noise on so that I
(08:36):
could get a nap, because it wasone of these theaters where
with the fully reclining seats.
And actually, during thepreviews, I tried white noise
apps, yeah, um, and none of themcould could block anything out.
So I'm like, well, shit, okay.
So I sit down, the moviestarts, and it I gotta tell you,
I found myself getting into it.
(08:58):
It's a great little film.
It is, it's it's all about thethe power of embracing who you
are, the power of hope.
The you know, one of the linesor one of the themes was that
that songs and music can changethe world, and I'm really like
cynical about stuff like that.
But but part of the reason whyI'm really cynical about stuff
like that is because of theworld in which we live.
(09:19):
Um, and so I was having aconversation with uh a friend of
ours today talking about howhow this movie kind of changed
my mind.
Now, follow me here about theusefulness and efficacy of
public protesting.
We know all the public protestprotesting, excuse me, that's
(09:42):
going on now, and I've beenpretty um negative about what's
the point of this, but thefeeling that I got in this movie
theater, surrounded by seven,eight, nine-year-olds, and the
the words were on the screen,they were all singing together,
and it was actually a reallymoving, lovely communal
(10:03):
experience.
I cried.
No, yeah, it was so my mind waschanged on on the movie and on
the music because of thatexperience.
And my mind was changed,believe it or not, on protesting
because of K-pop Ninja Hunter.
JJ (10:20):
That's a demon hunter, but okay.
Josh (10:22):
So I'm texting all of this to a friend of mine today.
I just texted him, I actuallysent him a poem that I'd
written.
And um I asked him how he wasdoing.
He says that, you know, he hewas was tired and all this and
that.
Um, but he said that he felthopeful because it's the kind of
conversation that we usuallyhave, it's just about the state
(10:43):
of the world.
And I'm like, you know, funnythat you should say that.
I went to go see this movie,K-pop Demon Hunter.
I don't know if you've everheard of it, and then I gave my
whole spiel.
And he goes, I fucking loveK-pop Demon Hunter.
Yes, Chris Barron of the SpinDoctors.
I bet this was Chris Barron.
Loves K-pop demon hunters.
(11:03):
And I actually texted himbecause I don't ever share our
private texts with on thispodcast.
I said, Would it be okay if Imentioned your love of this on
the show?
He said, Hell yes, it'sactually one of my favorite
things I've seen this year, andyou can quote me on that.
Yes, good.
Josh Scar, hear that.
The lead singer of the SpinDoctors is with you on the love
of this movie.
(11:23):
It was just, it was so special,and Winthrop was so into it, and
just singing at the top of hislungs and doing the
choreography.
And I I cry every time we areat a live performance and like
the lights go down and then thestage lights come up.
It is the power of a live artexperience for me.
(11:44):
Typically it's theater, butthis was I just sat there and
cried because there is somethingso moving about people
experiencing something together.
And you and I have had thisconversation about protest
before, and you were talkingabout the efficacy of it.
Like, what does it actually do?
And my feeling on that is it'snot necessarily, yes, the hope
is there that it's gonna bringabout change, but it is to make
(12:05):
people feel like they haveagency.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah.
Josh (12:08):
Like I've got all of this anger or I've got all of this
fear, and I need to do somethingwith it.
And so I'm gonna come togetherwith people who feel like me or
think like me, and just forthose moments of being together,
you get you get hopeful.
Well, I think it's even moreprofound than that, or it has
the possibility of being,because feeling like you have
(12:28):
agency, but having that be afalse feeling to me is nonsense.
I I believe more than that.
It has to be that this goodfeeling that we have, this
feeling that we have agency willthen embolden us to actually
take real action, yeah, which isthe only thing that really
matters is is actual action.
And whereas before I thoughtthat that these public displays
(12:51):
were just a bit masturbatory.
Now, having felt it, you know,I I I kind of see the error of
my ways in that.
Um, because it was very, very,very powerful that experience.
I mean, and that's that's thepoint, right?
Of the movie is that likecollectively coming together for
this thing overcomes.
And it was so sweet becausethere was a uh so I was I took
(13:12):
one for the team and sat next tothe people not in our party
because we were like right inthe middle and and we're gonna
have to bump up against otherpeople.
So I sat there, you sat all theway on the other end, but there
was a family, I think it Ithink that it was like a mom and
a teenage granddaughter, andthen the grandpa.
And I don't think thegrandfather spoke English
because they were speaking tohim in Spanish most of the time.
(13:34):
Right.
But and and this is one ofthose times where you can talk
in the movie and it doesn'tbother anybody because you are
there especially to just engage.
Yeah, and most of the parentsprobably had their AirPods in.
Yes.
Well, but they didn't get itsprofound moment like you did.
Yeah.
And anyway, he was so sweet.
This little old man who wasprobably in his late 70s, early
(13:54):
80s, and he was just pumping hisfist, and he was, I mean, and
it he was clapping, and it wasjust it was just so sweet.
It was just so lovely.
Yeah.
And Winthrop got a touch of thestardom because he went dressed
as baby Saja, which was hisHalloween costume, which is one
of the characters, which is therapper that everyone knows what
(14:15):
we're talking about here.
The rapper of the Saja Boys,which is the demon boy band
group.
And you need to stop explainingthe movie now because now I'm
starting to fall out of lovewith it again.
I said five words.
Put your earbuds in and listento Alan Carr.
Anyway, he wore his costume.
You're like, Do you want towear your costume?
And he said he did.
And we were walking out, andthis child from across the way,
(14:38):
like outside at a restaurant,screams, baby Saja.
And he turns around and shesaid, I'm your biggest fan.
And he was still talking aboutthat night when I tucked him in
for bed.
Remember when that girl said Iwas she was my biggest fan?
His biggest fan, by the way,not baby Sasha's biggest fan.
So I think he's had a touch ofthe fame.
Well, I think that that otherchild's had a touch of the
(14:58):
hysteria because that wasn't theactual character.
I hope she didn't think thatshe actually saw this guy.
So anyway, I think she's justtrying to make him feel good.
Um, I allowed myself, I was openenough to allow myself to have
that experience.
So I'm giving myself fivepoints.
So didn't realize it was gametime, but thank you for joining
us at the um K-pop Ninja movie.
(15:20):
Speaking of the power ofcollective will, we have an
update on the HOA situation.
So for those of you who this isyour first show, which by God,
if this is your first show, youhave no fucking idea what's
going on.
But we are engaged in a littlebit of a back and forth with the
developers of our communityhere.
(15:41):
And we noticed today that theywere removing the windows out of
the shell of a half-complethouse that is falling over the
next street over.
And we know that that thatmeans that the developers are
scavenging all the useful shitout of this house, so then it
could be knocked down.
(16:02):
Because that's what happened tothe one next to our house.
Now that is two houses thatthey've had to knock down
because of us.
The picture that I have in mymind is you know that when
you're playing Monopoly and youget really fed up and you just
knock the board over and all thehouses go tumbling.
This is like that, except inreally slow motion.
That's what that's what this isreminding me of.
(16:24):
So that is our update.
Slowly, slowly, slowly, likelike the water carving the Grand
Canyon.
We are going to have our way,and our neighborhood is not
gonna look like crap.
So, speaking of going to theninja movie, we were driving
(16:46):
there and we saw a very oddthing.
So there are a lot of these,you know, these mopeds or
Vespas, if you want to be fancy,but these scooters that people
drive around, there's billionsof them here because we're in a
college town.
And they only go about 35 milesan hour.
So you get stuck behind one,it's not great.
But we were behind one theother day, and I've never seen a
(17:08):
person do this where the personwho was riding it had both feet
out, not on the, I guess, theshelf for your foot, foot rest,
whatever that thing is.
The shelf for your foot.
I don't know what it's called.
It's the shelf for your foot.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, it's essentially whatthat is.
It they had their feet outalmost to the ground of the of
(17:30):
the road.
When I saw it, because I think Isaw it first, when I saw it, it
looked like this person wasbalancing on the two tires and
then the two feet to the sidelike training wheels.
Yes.
And yeah, and on these feet weretwo pink fuzzy house slippers.
Not even with the back, just thefront half.
Like, I mean, it was not safe,friends.
(17:50):
Like, she was very, very closeto like flintstoning it with her
feet.
Like, it was just not good.
Maybe, see, that's see, I didn'tthink about that.
Maybe your brakes didn't work.
I asked the question of ourlisteners what's the craziest
thing you've seen on the road?
Amanda, what's the craziestthing you've seen on the road?
Well, the craziest thing I'veseen on the road, I happen to
(18:12):
know was one of your answersbecause you got it from somebody
else in our family.
Well, go ahead.
So Muffy answered the question,and she answered what?
I had forgotten that this hadhappened, but we were driving
back, I think we had been inNorth Carolina, and we were on,
I don't know, some interstate,and there was a car on fire, and
the person who was in had beenin the car, I'm assuming, was
(18:33):
out of the car and had strippeddown to her bra and her
underwear, and were using herclothes to try to fan out the
flame of the floor.
To try to try to beat the flame.
Trying to beat the flame.
The hood was open, the fi theflames were pouring off the
engine, and she was trying toput it out with her jeans.
I don't know why, like theshirt had to come off too.
(18:55):
Maybe she's just the shirt wason fire.
I don't know, but the woman wasin her bra and panties on the
side of the road trying to putout this fire.
Yeah, it was one of those thingswhere we passed by it really
quickly and we were all like,Did you just see that?
Did I, or did I see what Ithought I saw?
So here are some of youranswers.
Ken, who's a friend of ours,Ken set a tumbling couch on
(19:16):
I-595 in South Florida.
It fell off a pickup truck, wastumbling towards me, and I had
to swerve two lanes over toavoid it.
Love seat, brown leather.
I'll never forget it.
I've had like yard debris comeflying towards me, but never
furniture.
Although I will say growing upin Miami, there was always a
(19:37):
possibility that something largewas gonna fly off a car,
whether furniture or anotherdude.
All right, so friend Ricky uhsays this.
He said, Saw a guy asleep atthe wheel wasted on I-75 once.
We watched him sleep going 70miles per hour for like five
minutes.
We were beside him and honkingfor a while.
(19:57):
Then we just passed him, calledthe cops, and hoped he didn't
die or kill anyone else.
So you don't know what happened.
No, he they got the hell out ofthere.
How does he going straight?
Cruise control?
But the road doesn't go thecruise control.
Well, I guess if he had theones that keeps you in your
lane, then yeah.
Oh, maybe, but I got theimpression this was that would
be amazing, though.
(20:17):
That yeah, I gotta ask Ricky ifif if it was recent when they
have the steer assist.
Okay, but that's possible then,right?
Yeah, but the and I I'm I'm whenI we don't have it on our cars,
but when I rent a car for workand the steer assist, I will
mess with it where I will let goof the steering wheel but keep
my hands like hovering rightabove it, like that woman with
her feet on the road.
No, no, no, just to see howlong it'll let me do it.
(20:39):
And I will say, probably afterlike 30 seconds or so, it starts
beeping at you to put yourhands back on the wheel.
Oh, so it knows.
So, I mean, this guy couldn'thave slept through that.
So maybe this was like 10 yearsago before that technology, and
this dude's tires were just verywell aligned.
Yeah, I don't know.
Good job, sir.
All right, next.
Our neighbor Tony says he wason I 85.
(21:00):
Why is everyone giving us theroad that they were on with
these stories?
That's gonna add the correctamount of credibility to the
story.
Right outside of Montgomery,Alabama, I saw like 10 to 12
cows running down theinterstate.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Oh no.
Josh (21:16):
A truck had lost its trailer full of cows, and there
were people running aroundtrying to catch them.
Shut the entire interstate onboth sides down.
Were the cows running withtraffic or or toward it?
I wise it depends on what kindof ticket they get.
All right, next, uh, friendMark.
I grew up with Mark, um, alsoknown as Marty, or at least
that's what we call him, Marty.
(21:38):
Actually, that's what I calledhim.
He wasn't known as that.
I just called him.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I've never heard of a Marty in your life ever.
Josh (21:43):
Mark's, there were two Marty's, actually.
He was the second Marty, and hewasn't even a real Marty.
Mark says this (21:47):
I got stuck on I-75 in Atlanta during Freaknik.
So Freaknik is an annual springbreak festival in Atlanta,
Georgia, that no longer happensanymore because of the cops.
I remember Freaknik, yeah.
I'd looked that up because I'dnever heard of it before.
Anyway, he continues.
There were topless collegegirls leaving their cars,
running up and down I-75.
(22:09):
There was one car that musthave had like 45 girls, like a
clown car.
Then all of a sudden, they alllined up, squatted down, and
took a dump in unison.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
What?
Josh (22:18):
There were these evenly spaced turds aligned on the side
of the road for like a mile.
Some guy was selling t-shirts.
Amanda (22:25):
No.
I mean, but how do you timeeverybody has to go with
t-shirts?
Well, that's what he says.
Josh (22:30):
He says, I'm not sure if that was a planned event or a
spontaneously choreographedhybrid ballet of defecation.
Imagine how many bowels have toalign.
Well, you know that when abunch of females spend time
together, their periods align.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Nope.
It does not work the way youwere about to say it's gonna
work.
Sorry to you and or Marty.
No.
Josh (22:49):
Professor Mike O'Malley weighs in.
This is an interesting one.
First thing that comes to mindis when we lived across the
street from the Obamas inChicago and we were backing out
of our parallel parking spaceand had to block oncoming cars
for a few moments.
And among the cars beingblocked were Malia Obama's 2SUV
motorcade.
Oh.
She rolled down the back windowand glared at us in disdain.
(23:11):
That's good.
That is good.
I did not know that MichaelMalley lived across the street
from the Obamas.
Neither did I.
She panicked and kept driving.
(23:35):
Was she stuck on top of themattress and her wheels were
just spinning, or was shedragging it with her?
She panicked and kept driving,mattress wedged under the car.
Got to the corner of these tworoads that are close by, burst
into flames, and the car burnedto the ground.
Big Voice (23:49):
Oh no.
Josh (23:50):
I asked myself what the odds of that happening was.
Apparently, high.
About six months later, AaronCarter, brother of Backstreet
Boys Nick Carter, was on I-75 orthe turnpike, hit a mattress on
the road, it got wedged underhis SUV and caught fire and
burned to the ground.
So then there's that.
Amanda (24:07):
So is it something in the mattress?
Josh (24:10):
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
What are the odds?
I mean, I'm hoping that I mean,I know you're no longer married
to this woman, but I'm hopingshe escaped the fire.
Yep.
Uh Refined Gay Jeff, who wehave a letter from a little bit
later, says this the scariestthing I ever saw was driving
along the coast north ofAcapulco in Mexico, and every uh
(24:30):
10 to 15 miles were these groupof men in army fatigues sitting
practically on the pavement ofthe road beside their campfires
they had built, all holdingmachine guns.
Yeah, no, that's terrifying.
Sounds like Florida.
Uh so there you go.
Mine was uh strangely enoughwhen we were driving in Houston
to go see Refined Gay Jeff, andwe passed by this dude being
(24:54):
held at gunpoint by the cops inthe middle of the road.
Oh yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah, I know.
Scary, scary stuff.
I'm from Miami and I had to goto another city to experience
that for the first time.
Yeah.
All right.
So if you have a story, theweirdest thing, the strangest
thing that's happened to you onthe road or that you've seen on
(25:14):
the road, go ahead and email usat familiarwilsons at gmail.com.
You know what?
I just remembered.
What's that?
Just put it in an email.
No, no, no.
It was in my it was in Miami.
So I had gone to Miami recentwell, like last summer for work,
and we were coming back.
You weren't with me.
We were coming back, and therewas definitely a car going the
(25:38):
wrong way on the intersection.
Oh, sure.
But that is that's like a thingthat happens frequently there.
But I mean, like, but they hadgotten far.
Maybe it's the guy that thatRicky saw asleep, and he's just
made this big loop.
Yes, yes.
He made it all the way down toMiami.
The song quiz is back.
(26:06):
Uh, I had forgotten about thisbeing a tormentor in my life.
So this is very easy, and folks,you can play along.
It's not easy, folks.
It's very, it is very easy.
I will give you a cryptic cluefor a song and the artist that
sings that song, and your job isto figure out the the song and
the artist that sings that song.
Now, Amanda's gonna play alongwith you.
(26:26):
If she gets it, she's free totell me that she's gotten it,
but don't want her to reveal theanswer until next week.
Don't worry, friends, I won'tget it.
You might.
All right, so the song, thesong is so the again, this is a
cryptic clue that will lead youto the name of the song.

Josh (28:40):
Alright, folks out there, if you understand what he's
saying and you know what itmeans, please let us know.
Familiarwilsons at gmail.com.
And of course, thanks, John.
And now it's time for RefinedGay Thoughts with Refined Gay
(29:05):
Jeff.
Happy November, Wilsons.
He starts.
Can you believe that October isnow out of here?
Like someone who just finisheda grinder hookup and left as
soon as they could.
It's a mad dash till the end ofthe year now, and I'm living
for it.
It's my absolute favorite timeof the calendar year.
Cooler weather.
Well, just a little here inTexas, but I'll take anything.
(29:26):
Shorter days, which I secretlykind of love.
I'm gonna break in here.
Jeff, I do not.
Last night, the first night ofof this time change, we were in
bed at fucking 5 30.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I was because I wasn't feeling well.
Josh (29:41):
Right, but I like what am I gonna do?
And so it gets I know, but theywere doing their own thing or
whatever.
It got around eight o'clock,and I'm like, this evening is
interminable.
I could not believe it.
I slept.
I thought about it and woke up.
I think I slept like 14 hours.
Right, but I couldn't sleepbecause my body was like, it's
Not time.
But my eyes were like, yeah, itis.
(30:03):
And I didn't like thatcognitive dissonance.
Anyway, keep on with Jeff'sletter, Josh.
Okay, well, here we go.
Autumn leaves, another thingthat he likes, even though
there's not a tremendous amount.
Texas Autumn arrives around thefirst or second week of
December, believe it or not.
Preparation and anticipationfor Thanksgiving and the
December holidays and a generallift in my spirits because I
(30:25):
love this season so much.
Me too.
And then the birthdaycelebration for me in
mid-January.
Well, Jeff, we don't have thaton our holiday calendar, but we
do love Thanksgiving andChristmas.
And we also love Jeff.
So we'll love your birthday foryou.
Of course.
Oh, shall we have a birthdayparty here in honor of him?
Yes.
We totally should.
That would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Have a Jeff's birthday party.
Josh (30:45):
Yes.
Um, speaking of my birthday, Iwent ahead and bought an early
present for myself, even thoughit wasn't, it won't be realized
until three days after mybirthday.
I bought tickets for a concerton January 17th, and I couldn't
even tell anyone about it atwork when I purchased them
online because the late Gen Xand millennials won't even know
who I'm talking about.
Being a baby boomer, well,actually, I consider myself a
(31:08):
part of the newer, updated, morein-tune group called Generation
Jones.
JJ (31:12):
Never heard of this in my entire life.
Josh (31:14):
Jeff, did you make this up, Generation Jones?
Like keeping up with theJoneses?
I guess.
I don't know.
Okay, anyway.
Allowed me to grow up withphenomenal music.
I purchased tickets to seeHerb, Alpert, and the new
Tijuana brass.
And I'm beyond excited.
Are you familiar with thisgroup?
None of those words.
I knew I know Tijuana.
I know brass.
(31:34):
I had an Uncle Herb.
Well, maybe this is the guy.
Who knows?
He's recorded 28 albums, fiveof which reached number one.
He's also the only musician tohave reached number one on
Billboard Top 100 as both avocalist and as an
instrumentalist.
He's 90 years old, so I hope hereally takes really good care
of himself between now andmid-January.
(31:55):
I'm going to tell you, I got introuble last time I talked
about old musicians getting onthe stage.
See the episode where I had toactually issue an apology to
Frankie Valley.
I'm just going to say, good onthis guy, Herb.
You know, as long as he'shaving fun and they're not
trotting him out, making himplay, and then, you know,
putting him away in a cornerwhile they use the money.
(32:15):
That's fine.
He goes on.
I didn't get to do all thethings I wanted for Halloween
this past weekend.
My friend group that I considermy family here in Houston has a
small gathering that we havecreated primarily for Halloween,
but we do invoke itperiodically during the week as
well.
We call ourselves the Witch'sCouncil.
I love it so much.
And whenever we meet, it'scalled the Covenstead, like
(32:38):
Homestead.
We gather wearing our witch'shat, light candles, drink wine,
and dish on whatever needs to besaid.
Jeff, isn't that called Fridaynight?
Usually it's just banteringback and forth or making eyes
and inappropriate gestures toany hot bears, muscle daddies,
or twunks that we happen to see.
What's a twon?
He was hoping you would ask.
(32:59):
I don't think I've talked aboutthis one, he said.
It's a Twink who's aged out ofhis first 25 years, has put some
meat on his bones or added someluscious muscle.
Would that be me?
Don't make me classify you.
Obviously, it's a portmanteaubetween Twink and Hunk.
Think Zach Efron, TaylorLautner, Taylor uh people I
(33:20):
don't know, and Brandon Perea.
Who's Taylor Zakhar Perez?
JJ (33:25):
I don't know who that is.
Josh (33:26):
Mercy they could pass me around like Thanksgiving gravy.
Anyway, we gathered at myfriend Dale's place, bought
wine, I brought vodka, and alsobrought three to four different
elements for a ginormouscharcuterie spread that we
created.
It was massive and I ate toomuch.
By the end of the evening,around 11-ish, I went home
without getting to the gay boodto see all the costumes.
(33:48):
But he still had a fabulousnight.
Yes, you can.
He said this about what I saidabout all of the frickin'
Halloween candy.
He he agrees that the severalnights of Halloween candy
procurement is now out of hand.
It's almost like Big Pharma isbanking on the sale of future
drug medications to combatdiabetes and weight gain.
(34:08):
Would Winthrop be interested indonating some of his candy to
food banks or soup kitchens?
Just a thought.
That's a really good idea.
Diabetes.
Winthrop School does this thingwhere they you give them your
candy and they sell it to alocal orthodontist, and then for
every pound of candy that yougive to the orthodontist, they
give a dollar to the school'sPTO.
Then what do they do with thecandy?
(34:29):
They throw it away.
The orthodontists used to sendit like to troops that were
deployed.
I don't know if that's still athing.
Concerning parties, Jeff said,like Amanda, if I know I've
invited someone that knows noone else, I'll try to make some
connections for them.
But at the same time, I realizethese are grown-ass adults and
they can practice being acontributing member of society
(34:50):
and do that for themselves aswell.
That's a good point, Jeff.
I am not big on structuredparties because I had asked that
question.
Dale, my friend, that I boughtmy house from, always had a huge
Christmas party every year hereat my now house.
The theme of his parties wasalways the same.
It was called Christmas balls.
And everyone had to bring theirhors d'oeuvres in the shape of
(35:11):
a ball.
The tagline on the invitationwas I want to fit all your balls
into my mouth.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Okay.
Josh (35:17):
We had a contest and everyone voted on their favorite
balls that were brought.
That was the only structure wehad at those parties.
Not to brag, but I won the bestballs for the last three years
of his parties before he soldthe house to me.
Amanda wants to get Winthrop aCasio keyboard.
Yes, I guess I do.
He says, good call on thatkeyboard, but I have a question.
(35:37):
What is a gaming chair?
That's a new term for me, Iguess, simply because the last
video game I ever played was onmy Atari back in the late 70s.
It's it's marketing.
It's just this like ergonomiclike chair that you're supposed
to be able to lean back in andhave your kids.
It's dumb.
He's not getting one, so youdon't even know what it is.
We mentioned a story last weekwhere someone shot a speculum
(36:00):
out of their vagina.
Yes, yes.
To their onto their or or attheir gynecologist.
He said, if that happened tome, I would lay my body down on
the floor in the shape of across and give up the spirit.
Uh I also talked about theperson who said that whenever
they had bread slices, theyneeded to be the partner or like
(36:23):
the ones that are right next tothe other.
He says that he agrees withthat.
Speaking of sliced bread, haveI ever told you that a friend of
mine is the great-grandson ofthe man that invented the
machine that makes sliced bread?
His great-grandfather mademillions.
Every time I hear the phrasebetter than sliced bread, I
always think of him.
Amanda (36:44):
Millions?
Josh (36:45):
Yeah.
Amanda (36:46):
For slicing bread?
Josh (36:47):
Yeah, but it's the first machine that did it.
Amanda (36:49):
I know.
Josh (36:49):
That's like why they always say that Jimi Hendrix was
the greatest guitar playerever.
There's guitar players now whoare much better than him, but he
was basically one of the first.
And so that's why that's athing.
Well, guys, I'm off to mySunday fun day at the ripcord.
I guess I really should notdrink today since I'm taking
steroids, but my research hasyielded results that say it's
not explicitly verboten, justnot recommended.
(37:12):
He hopes this week iseverything wonderful for us and
that we limit Winthrop'schocolate intake.
Well, we have a problem withthat because tomorrow is
Winthrop's birthday and I gothim a chocolate cake because
Winthrop loves himself achocolate cake with chocolate
frosting.
Muffy is getting a vanilla cakewith vanilla frosting.
These are the two children.
Do you know what this child hassaid to me the other day?
(37:34):
Winthrop?
Yes.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Okay.
Josh (37:37):
He uses the like most precocious verbs for somebody
his age.
We were talking, he told me hewas thirsty the other night at
bedtime.
And so I gave him water, andthen he said something to me
like, I haven't, I haven'tconsumed enough water today.
Oh, wow.
The child said consumed.
He's just, he's just, I justdon't, I have it on the channel.
He's a problem for this child.
(37:58):
But we love him.
But he's a problem.
But it's his birthday.
So everybody reach out and wishMuffy and Winthrop very happy
19th and 9th birthday tomorrow.
Alright, Amanda, that's allthere is.
There is no more.
What'd you think of that mess?
I mean, it was a mess, but Ienjoyed it.
(38:20):
So here are the people withoutwhom we would not be able to
create this cacophony of sound,light, and wonder.
We'd like to thank Antonio,Josh Scar, and Daniel J.
Buckets, Chicken Tom, Matt,Monique from Germany, Joey,
Joey, Ryan Baker, Leo, RefineGay Jeff, Mark and Rachel, and
(38:44):
of course, Dan and Gavin.
Do you want to be a part ofthat list?
Well then you need tocontribute a little bit more,
folks.
Come on.
JJ (38:53):
Just pick up the sock, friends.
Josh (38:54):
Buck it up.
Alright, folks.
Until next time, I'm here totell you that you gotta enjoy
life because what else you gonnado?
Go sing some K pop demon huntersongs.
Yes.
And be kind.
Amanda (39:06):
Bye.
Bye.
Familiar Wilson's Media.
Relationships are the story.
JJ (00:07):
You are made of meat, my friend, all the way down.
Big Voice (00:10):
The following podcast uses words like and and also
woo.
If you're not into any of thatshit, then now's your chance.
Three, two, one.
Run.
Super familiar with Welcome toSuper Familiar with the Wilsons.
Josh (00:32):
I'm Amanda.
And I'm Josh, and we are thepodcast about marriage 2.0 with
kids.
And all of those damn sidequests.
And today we're going to talkabout the power of communal
gathering as discovered througha children's movie.
But first, folks, the mustacheis back, babies.
(00:53):
Well, I mean, to be fair, themustache has been there the
whole time.
It's just there was a beardconnecting it all, or a goatee,
but now it is on its own.
Solo.
So you have opinions about themustache.
Yeah, but I'm not mad at itright now.
But I think I know what youdid.
You know, this is what you did.
You shaved.
Big Voice (01:12):
Yes, I did.
Josh (01:12):
And you shaved a mustache and this really like just not
great soul patch.
It wasn't even a soul patch.
I don't know what it was.
Big Voice (01:21):
It was a bristle brush.
Josh (01:22):
It was.
It was like you're just yourrazor ran out of batteries and
you had to quit because it wasperfectly like rectangle.
Like it wasn't, but it wassticking straight up.
Anyway.
Because now the beard hair,especially in that section, is
just totally white.
It just looked like I had takenthe bristles off of a
toothbrush and stuck it to myface.
And so I was trying to embraceall of you, and I didn't say
(01:48):
junk about it.
And we went about our dayyesterday, and you had it there.
But now that you have shavedthat part of it, I'm embracing
the mustache more.
So I think this is what you'vedone.
I look younger, don't I?
You do look younger, and you'veyou've stepped me into
appreciating the mustache.
Now you can pretend that you'rehaving a bed date with a much
younger man.
And you're a cougar.
(02:10):
No stop.
It's still a white and graymustache, friend.
I look 10 years younger.
You do?
I'm embracing it.
Um, so there you go.
It's not going to keep you frommaking whoopee with me.
Oh my God.
I just got okay with bed date.
Do not say whoopee to anyone.
What is this?
Is this the what is that?
The newlywed game from the 70s?
Yep, that's right.
Folks, if you've if you're tooyoung and you haven't heard the
(02:32):
newlywed game, you need to lookup bloopers from the newlywed
game.
It's very much worth it.
Like I said, we are going totalk about K-pop demon hunters.
But before that, I do want tomention my car situation as a
public service announcement.
Public service, public serviceannouncement.
Public service announcement.
My car would not start when Idropped Winthrop off at school
(02:55):
the other day.
What I like to do is I like topull up and I like to park and I
like to walk him up to thecones instead of dropping him
off on the traffic circle thatthey have.
It's just something I've alwaysdone with him.
He's still at the point wherehe lets me hold his hand,
although we're kind of iffy onthat sometimes.
And so it's a thing that Ireally enjoy.
So I park as usual.
(03:17):
I take him up, I come back, carwouldn't start.
JJ (03:20):
I know.
Josh (03:22):
I go to the principal and I'm like, You go to the
principal's office.
I went straight to theprincipal and I said, Is it
okay?
No, first thing I said was, um,do y'all have a jump?
Right.
And they did have one of thosejump boxes.
So the school resource officer,in other words, the sheriff's
deputy that hangs out there,grabbed that and we went to my
(03:44):
car, and the car was dead as adoornail.
So I went back to theprincipal.
I said, Look, is it okay if Ileave my car here?
Because I I gotta get to work.
I can't take care of this rightnow.
So you come, you take me towork, bada bing, bada boom, the
the day is done.
We go back the next day, thenext morning, uh, to try to jump
it because we had cables.
And so I got in the car.
(04:05):
I was like, Well, what theheck?
I'm gonna try to start it up.
I started up, it goes justfine.
I drive it home.
And I'm like, this is so weird,it doesn't make sense for it to
start up, for having aseemingly dead as a doornail
battery, and then the next dayhave it start up.
Made no sense to me until Istarted to to think about the
(04:28):
fact that I have a key fob thathas a battery that I've never
changed.
Okay.
And I've had this car for quitea while.
I was like, I wonder if thatcould have anything to do with
it.
So I looked it up and it'slike, absolutely, yes, it could.
Now, what I can't imagine isfor the the key fob to have kind
of died or had the battery havevery little power, and then me
(04:51):
not using it through the night,and then it having just enough
juice the next day to start thecar.
Well, you know what you're nottaking to account.
Oh, several things, but that'smy life.
I don't take things intoaccount.
You're not taking to accountthat the day that the car
stopped working, what day wasthat?
Friday.
And what day was Friday?
(05:12):
Uh the end of the no.
It was Halloween.
No, and the next day wasn't AllSaints Day.
And so your car played aHalloween trick on you, and then
it revived itself for AllSaints Day.
Yeah, it's either that or thefact that when I got in my car
this morning, turned it on,drove it uh to the drugstore to
(05:35):
buy a new battery for the fob.
I saw for the first time thelow battery key fob light.
Oh.
Or maybe I'd never noticed thatthere was a low fob key battery
light, um, or low low batterykey fob light, I should say.
Um, and I saw it for the firsttime this morning.
I was like, okay, well, thenthat's clearly what happened.
Does your car not have a keythough?
(05:56):
It does have a key.
Like your fob will come apartand be a key, right?
So you could have just usedthat.
Well, but I don't know where tostick it.
It's not evident where I needto stick it.
I mean, you're pretty good atsticking it places that it
should go, so you should findit.
Oh, here we go.
All right.
You're gonna sing about it.
We're gonna take a quick break,folks.
Be right back.
Oh, yeah.
(06:25):
Catch my breath.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Um folks, I want you to knowthat the amount of time that
that that little musical droppedwas the actual amount of time
it took for me.
Anyway, let's let's move on.
JJ (06:42):
Um, so sorry to any of our children and our children's
friends who listen to thispodcast.
Josh (06:46):
Let's talk.
Yeah, I'm sorry for to you.
They'll be like, poor Amanda.
Um, we did go see K-pop DemonHunter for Winthrop's birthday
in the theater because they hada sing-along version.
So basically what happened wasNetflix made all this money and
they're like, hey, let's makesome more money.
Let's make it into a sing-alongand have the kids go to it.
(07:07):
So I I went to it because itwas a family.
You so didn't want to go.
No, I didn't.
And you were pissed at mebecause I brought my my AirPods.
You walked.
Okay, no.
All right.
So tomorrow is Muffy andWinthrop's birthday.
We have the same birthday.
Muffy's gonna be 19 tomorrow.
Went for Winthrop's gonna benine.
So I guess by the time thisepisode drops, happy birthday,
Muffy and Winthrop.
(07:28):
And if you know, if you'refollowing it, Winthrop loves
K-pop demon hunters.
Josh does not want to abide itat all.
Friend of the pod, Josh Gar,has been trying to talk him into
it, wasn't interested.
But then Muffy came up with theidea of taking Winthrop to the
sing along for his birthday, anearly birthday present.
(07:49):
Because y'all know if you go tothe movies now, it is an
expensive.
I mean, it's up there withbirthday gifts because it is an
expense.
So she got the tickets, wewent, and Josh says to me, Do I
have to go to this ninja movie?
So many things are wrong aboutthis statement, sir.
Yes, you have to go, it's yourchild's birthday present.
Second of all, no ninjas.
And then he's in the car justcalling it K-pop ninja hunters,
(08:12):
just to annoy Winthrop.
And so we went.
The man walks in with his airpods in his ears, in the ticket
line, like going, and I so Iyelled at him, and he was like,
No, it's just it's so it's nottoo loud.
I was like, You lie, you'relistening to Alan Carr's
podcast, and you know that youare.
I had thoughts of actuallyputting white noise on so that I
(08:36):
could get a nap, because it wasone of these theaters where
with the fully reclining seats.
And actually, during thepreviews, I tried white noise
apps, yeah, um, and none of themcould could block anything out.
So I'm like, well, shit, okay.
So I sit down, the moviestarts, and it I gotta tell you,
I found myself getting into it.
(08:58):
It's a great little film.
It is, it's it's all about thethe power of embracing who you
are, the power of hope.
The you know, one of the linesor one of the themes was that
that songs and music can changethe world, and I'm really like
cynical about stuff like that.
But but part of the reason whyI'm really cynical about stuff
like that is because of theworld in which we live.
(09:19):
Um, and so I was having aconversation with uh a friend of
ours today talking about howhow this movie kind of changed
my mind.
Now, follow me here about theusefulness and efficacy of
public protesting.
We know all the public protestprotesting, excuse me, that's
(09:42):
going on now, and I've beenpretty um negative about what's
the point of this, but thefeeling that I got in this movie
theater, surrounded by seven,eight, nine-year-olds, and the
the words were on the screen,they were all singing together,
and it was actually a reallymoving, lovely communal
(10:03):
experience.
I cried.
No, yeah, it was so my mind waschanged on on the movie and on
the music because of thatexperience.
And my mind was changed,believe it or not, on protesting
because of K-pop Ninja Hunter.
JJ (10:20):
That's a demon hunter, but okay.
Josh (10:22):
So I'm texting all of this to a friend of mine today.
I just texted him, I actuallysent him a poem that I'd
written.
And um I asked him how he wasdoing.
He says that, you know, he hewas was tired and all this and
that.
Um, but he said that he felthopeful because it's the kind of
conversation that we usuallyhave, it's just about the state
(10:43):
of the world.
And I'm like, you know, funnythat you should say that.
I went to go see this movie,K-pop Demon Hunter.
I don't know if you've everheard of it, and then I gave my
whole spiel.
And he goes, I fucking loveK-pop Demon Hunter.
Yes, Chris Barron of the SpinDoctors.
I bet this was Chris Barron.
Loves K-pop demon hunters.
(11:03):
And I actually texted himbecause I don't ever share our
private texts with on thispodcast.
I said, Would it be okay if Imentioned your love of this on
the show?
He said, Hell yes, it'sactually one of my favorite
things I've seen this year, andyou can quote me on that.
Yes, good.
Josh Scar, hear that.
The lead singer of the SpinDoctors is with you on the love
of this movie.
(11:23):
It was just, it was so special,and Winthrop was so into it, and
just singing at the top of hislungs and doing the
choreography.
And I I cry every time we areat a live performance and like
the lights go down and then thestage lights come up.
It is the power of a live artexperience for me.
(11:44):
Typically it's theater, butthis was I just sat there and
cried because there is somethingso moving about people
experiencing something together.
And you and I have had thisconversation about protest
before, and you were talkingabout the efficacy of it.
Like, what does it actually do?
And my feeling on that is it'snot necessarily, yes, the hope
is there that it's gonna bringabout change, but it is to make
(12:05):
people feel like they haveagency.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah.
Josh (12:08):
Like I've got all of this anger or I've got all of this
fear, and I need to do somethingwith it.
And so I'm gonna come togetherwith people who feel like me or
think like me, and just forthose moments of being together,
you get you get hopeful.
Well, I think it's even moreprofound than that, or it has
the possibility of being,because feeling like you have
(12:28):
agency, but having that be afalse feeling to me is nonsense.
I I believe more than that.
It has to be that this goodfeeling that we have, this
feeling that we have agency willthen embolden us to actually
take real action, yeah, which isthe only thing that really
matters is is actual action.
And whereas before I thoughtthat that these public displays
(12:51):
were just a bit masturbatory.
Now, having felt it, you know,I I I kind of see the error of
my ways in that.
Um, because it was very, very,very powerful that experience.
I mean, and that's that's thepoint, right?
Of the movie is that likecollectively coming together for
this thing overcomes.
And it was so sweet becausethere was a uh so I was I took
(13:12):
one for the team and sat next tothe people not in our party
because we were like right inthe middle and and we're gonna
have to bump up against otherpeople.
So I sat there, you sat all theway on the other end, but there
was a family, I think it Ithink that it was like a mom and
a teenage granddaughter, andthen the grandpa.
And I don't think thegrandfather spoke English
because they were speaking tohim in Spanish most of the time.
(13:34):
Right.
But and and this is one ofthose times where you can talk
in the movie and it doesn'tbother anybody because you are
there especially to just engage.
Yeah, and most of the parentsprobably had their AirPods in.
Yes.
Well, but they didn't get itsprofound moment like you did.
Yeah.
And anyway, he was so sweet.
This little old man who wasprobably in his late 70s, early
(13:54):
80s, and he was just pumping hisfist, and he was, I mean, and
it he was clapping, and it wasjust it was just so sweet.
It was just so lovely.
Yeah.
And Winthrop got a touch of thestardom because he went dressed
as baby Saja, which was hisHalloween costume, which is one
of the characters, which is therapper that everyone knows what
(14:15):
we're talking about here.
The rapper of the Saja Boys,which is the demon boy band
group.
And you need to stop explainingthe movie now because now I'm
starting to fall out of lovewith it again.
I said five words.
Put your earbuds in and listento Alan Carr.
Anyway, he wore his costume.
You're like, Do you want towear your costume?
And he said he did.
And we were walking out, andthis child from across the way,
(14:38):
like outside at a restaurant,screams, baby Saja.
And he turns around and shesaid, I'm your biggest fan.
And he was still talking aboutthat night when I tucked him in
for bed.
Remember when that girl said Iwas she was my biggest fan?
His biggest fan, by the way,not baby Sasha's biggest fan.
So I think he's had a touch ofthe fame.
Well, I think that that otherchild's had a touch of the
(14:58):
hysteria because that wasn't theactual character.
I hope she didn't think thatshe actually saw this guy.
So anyway, I think she's justtrying to make him feel good.
Um, I allowed myself, I was openenough to allow myself to have
that experience.
So I'm giving myself fivepoints.
So didn't realize it was gametime, but thank you for joining
us at the um K-pop Ninja movie.
(15:20):
Speaking of the power ofcollective will, we have an
update on the HOA situation.
So for those of you who this isyour first show, which by God,
if this is your first show, youhave no fucking idea what's
going on.
But we are engaged in a littlebit of a back and forth with the
developers of our communityhere.
(15:41):
And we noticed today that theywere removing the windows out of
the shell of a half-complethouse that is falling over the
next street over.
And we know that that thatmeans that the developers are
scavenging all the useful shitout of this house, so then it
could be knocked down.
(16:02):
Because that's what happened tothe one next to our house.
Now that is two houses thatthey've had to knock down
because of us.
The picture that I have in mymind is you know that when
you're playing Monopoly and youget really fed up and you just
knock the board over and all thehouses go tumbling.
This is like that, except inreally slow motion.
That's what that's what this isreminding me of.
(16:24):
So that is our update.
Slowly, slowly, slowly, likelike the water carving the Grand
Canyon.
We are going to have our way,and our neighborhood is not
gonna look like crap.
So, speaking of going to theninja movie, we were driving
(16:46):
there and we saw a very oddthing.
So there are a lot of these,you know, these mopeds or
Vespas, if you want to be fancy,but these scooters that people
drive around, there's billionsof them here because we're in a
college town.
And they only go about 35 milesan hour.
So you get stuck behind one,it's not great.
But we were behind one theother day, and I've never seen a
(17:08):
person do this where the personwho was riding it had both feet
out, not on the, I guess, theshelf for your foot, foot rest,
whatever that thing is.
The shelf for your foot.
I don't know what it's called.
It's the shelf for your foot.
Yes, absolutely.
I mean, it's essentially whatthat is.
It they had their feet outalmost to the ground of the of
(17:30):
the road.
When I saw it, because I think Isaw it first, when I saw it, it
looked like this person wasbalancing on the two tires and
then the two feet to the sidelike training wheels.
Yes.
And yeah, and on these feet weretwo pink fuzzy house slippers.
Not even with the back, just thefront half.
Like, I mean, it was not safe,friends.
(17:50):
Like, she was very, very closeto like flintstoning it with her
feet.
Like, it was just not good.
Maybe, see, that's see, I didn'tthink about that.
Maybe your brakes didn't work.
I asked the question of ourlisteners what's the craziest
thing you've seen on the road?
Amanda, what's the craziestthing you've seen on the road?
Well, the craziest thing I'veseen on the road, I happen to
(18:12):
know was one of your answersbecause you got it from somebody
else in our family.
Well, go ahead.
So Muffy answered the question,and she answered what?
I had forgotten that this hadhappened, but we were driving
back, I think we had been inNorth Carolina, and we were on,
I don't know, some interstate,and there was a car on fire, and
the person who was in had beenin the car, I'm assuming, was
(18:33):
out of the car and had strippeddown to her bra and her
underwear, and were using herclothes to try to fan out the
flame of the floor.
To try to try to beat the flame.
Trying to beat the flame.
The hood was open, the fi theflames were pouring off the
engine, and she was trying toput it out with her jeans.
I don't know why, like theshirt had to come off too.
(18:55):
Maybe she's just the shirt wason fire.
I don't know, but the woman wasin her bra and panties on the
side of the road trying to putout this fire.
Yeah, it was one of those thingswhere we passed by it really
quickly and we were all like,Did you just see that?
Did I, or did I see what Ithought I saw?
So here are some of youranswers.
Ken, who's a friend of ours,Ken set a tumbling couch on
(19:16):
I-595 in South Florida.
It fell off a pickup truck, wastumbling towards me, and I had
to swerve two lanes over toavoid it.
Love seat, brown leather.
I'll never forget it.
I've had like yard debris comeflying towards me, but never
furniture.
Although I will say growing upin Miami, there was always a
(19:37):
possibility that something largewas gonna fly off a car,
whether furniture or anotherdude.
All right, so friend Ricky uhsays this.
He said, Saw a guy asleep atthe wheel wasted on I-75 once.
We watched him sleep going 70miles per hour for like five
minutes.
We were beside him and honkingfor a while.
(19:57):
Then we just passed him, calledthe cops, and hoped he didn't
die or kill anyone else.
So you don't know what happened.
No, he they got the hell out ofthere.
How does he going straight?
Cruise control?
But the road doesn't go thecruise control.
Well, I guess if he had theones that keeps you in your
lane, then yeah.
Oh, maybe, but I got theimpression this was that would
be amazing, though.
(20:17):
That yeah, I gotta ask Ricky ifif if it was recent when they
have the steer assist.
Okay, but that's possible then,right?
Yeah, but the and I I'm I'm whenI we don't have it on our cars,
but when I rent a car for workand the steer assist, I will
mess with it where I will let goof the steering wheel but keep
my hands like hovering rightabove it, like that woman with
her feet on the road.
No, no, no, just to see howlong it'll let me do it.
(20:39):
And I will say, probably afterlike 30 seconds or so, it starts
beeping at you to put yourhands back on the wheel.
Oh, so it knows.
So, I mean, this guy couldn'thave slept through that.
So maybe this was like 10 yearsago before that technology, and
this dude's tires were just verywell aligned.
Yeah, I don't know.
Good job, sir.
All right, next.
Our neighbor Tony says he wason I 85.
(21:00):
Why is everyone giving us theroad that they were on with
these stories?
That's gonna add the correctamount of credibility to the
story.
Right outside of Montgomery,Alabama, I saw like 10 to 12
cows running down theinterstate.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Oh no.
Josh (21:16):
A truck had lost its trailer full of cows, and there
were people running aroundtrying to catch them.
Shut the entire interstate onboth sides down.
Were the cows running withtraffic or or toward it?
I wise it depends on what kindof ticket they get.
All right, next, uh, friendMark.
I grew up with Mark, um, alsoknown as Marty, or at least
that's what we call him, Marty.
(21:38):
Actually, that's what I calledhim.
He wasn't known as that.
I just called him.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I've never heard of a Marty in your life ever.
Josh (21:43):
Mark's, there were two Marty's, actually.
He was the second Marty, and hewasn't even a real Marty.
Mark says this (21:47):
I got stuck on I-75 in Atlanta during Freaknik.
So Freaknik is an annual springbreak festival in Atlanta,
Georgia, that no longer happensanymore because of the cops.
I remember Freaknik, yeah.
I'd looked that up because I'dnever heard of it before.
Anyway, he continues.
There were topless collegegirls leaving their cars,
running up and down I-75.
(22:09):
There was one car that musthave had like 45 girls, like a
clown car.
Then all of a sudden, they alllined up, squatted down, and
took a dump in unison.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
What?
Josh (22:18):
There were these evenly spaced turds aligned on the side
of the road for like a mile.
Some guy was selling t-shirts.
Amanda (22:25):
No.
I mean, but how do you timeeverybody has to go with
t-shirts?
Well, that's what he says.
Josh (22:30):
He says, I'm not sure if that was a planned event or a
spontaneously choreographedhybrid ballet of defecation.
Imagine how many bowels have toalign.
Well, you know that when abunch of females spend time
together, their periods align.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Nope.
It does not work the way youwere about to say it's gonna
work.
Sorry to you and or Marty.
No.
Josh (22:49):
Professor Mike O'Malley weighs in.
This is an interesting one.
First thing that comes to mindis when we lived across the
street from the Obamas inChicago and we were backing out
of our parallel parking spaceand had to block oncoming cars
for a few moments.
And among the cars beingblocked were Malia Obama's 2SUV
motorcade.
Oh.
She rolled down the back windowand glared at us in disdain.
(23:11):
That's good.
That is good.
I did not know that MichaelMalley lived across the street
from the Obamas.
Neither did I.
She panicked and kept driving.
(23:35):
Was she stuck on top of themattress and her wheels were
just spinning, or was shedragging it with her?
She panicked and kept driving,mattress wedged under the car.
Got to the corner of these tworoads that are close by, burst
into flames, and the car burnedto the ground.
Big Voice (23:49):
Oh no.
Josh (23:50):
I asked myself what the odds of that happening was.
Apparently, high.
About six months later, AaronCarter, brother of Backstreet
Boys Nick Carter, was on I-75 orthe turnpike, hit a mattress on
the road, it got wedged underhis SUV and caught fire and
burned to the ground.
So then there's that.
Amanda (24:07):
So is it something in the mattress?
Josh (24:10):
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
What are the odds?
I mean, I'm hoping that I mean,I know you're no longer married
to this woman, but I'm hopingshe escaped the fire.
Yep.
Uh Refined Gay Jeff, who wehave a letter from a little bit
later, says this the scariestthing I ever saw was driving
along the coast north ofAcapulco in Mexico, and every uh
(24:30):
10 to 15 miles were these groupof men in army fatigues sitting
practically on the pavement ofthe road beside their campfires
they had built, all holdingmachine guns.
Yeah, no, that's terrifying.
Sounds like Florida.
Uh so there you go.
Mine was uh strangely enoughwhen we were driving in Houston
to go see Refined Gay Jeff, andwe passed by this dude being
(24:54):
held at gunpoint by the cops inthe middle of the road.
Oh yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah, I know.
Scary, scary stuff.
I'm from Miami and I had to goto another city to experience
that for the first time.
Yeah.
All right.
So if you have a story, theweirdest thing, the strangest
thing that's happened to you onthe road or that you've seen on
(25:14):
the road, go ahead and email usat familiarwilsons at gmail.com.
You know what?
I just remembered.
What's that?
Just put it in an email.
No, no, no.
It was in my it was in Miami.
So I had gone to Miami recentwell, like last summer for work,
and we were coming back.
You weren't with me.
We were coming back, and therewas definitely a car going the
(25:38):
wrong way on the intersection.
Oh, sure.
But that is that's like a thingthat happens frequently there.
But I mean, like, but they hadgotten far.
Maybe it's the guy that thatRicky saw asleep, and he's just
made this big loop.
Yes, yes.
He made it all the way down toMiami.
The song quiz is back.
(26:06):
Uh, I had forgotten about thisbeing a tormentor in my life.
So this is very easy, and folks,you can play along.
It's not easy, folks.
It's very, it is very easy.
I will give you a cryptic cluefor a song and the artist that
sings that song, and your job isto figure out the the song and
the artist that sings that song.
Now, Amanda's gonna play alongwith you.
(26:26):
If she gets it, she's free totell me that she's gotten it,
but don't want her to reveal theanswer until next week.
Don't worry, friends, I won'tget it.
You might.
All right, so the song, thesong is so the again, this is a
cryptic clue that will lead youto the name of the song.
What you say to Mr.
Cheetle when Man United scores.
(26:51):
Okay.
What you say to Mr.
Cheetle when Man United scores.
JJ (26:56):
Okay.
Josh (26:58):
And the artist or band is the magic that I do to bag
myself a deer.
The magic that I do to bagmyself a deer.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Okay.
Josh (27:11):
Do you think, folks out there, you know the song and the
artist?
Email us at familiarwilsons atgmail.com.
And speaking of both bits thatwe haven't done in a while, and
the contest or a game, I gotanother one for you.
(27:32):
It's time to play What the FuckJohn Say?
Also things I don't understand.
Two games back to back that Idon't understand.
Our Scottish friend John Watsonsends us a Scottish phrase for
Amanda and you all to try totranslate.
Alright, so I'm gonna play ithere.
(27:54):
You're gonna try to guess whatit is, and you're gonna email us
at familiarwilsons at gmail.comif you know what he's saying,
but also if you know what thephrase means.
Okay, but to be clear, he'ssaying it in English.
He's not saying it in ScottishGaelic.
Like he's No, he's saying itwith his particularly wonderful
Scottish brogue.
Okay.
Alright, ready?
(28:14):
Yeah.
Now, man, if you get this, Idon't want you to say it out
loud, I just want you to thinkabout it.
Don't worry.
Alright, here we go.
Amanda (28:20):
Okay, sorry.
Uh your bums at the wendy.
Your bums at the wendy.
Josh (28:31):
Alright, do you think you know what it is?
JJ (28:33):
I mean, I kinda do.
Josh (28:34):
Do you think you know what it means?
Amanda (28:38):
Maybe.
Josh (28:40):
Alright, folks out there, if you understand what he's
saying and you know what itmeans, please let us know.
Familiarwilsons at gmail.com.
And of course, thanks, John.
And now it's time for RefinedGay Thoughts with Refined Gay
(29:05):
Jeff.
Happy November, Wilsons.
He starts.
Can you believe that October isnow out of here?
Like someone who just finisheda grinder hookup and left as
soon as they could.
It's a mad dash till the end ofthe year now, and I'm living
for it.
It's my absolute favorite timeof the calendar year.
Cooler weather.
Well, just a little here inTexas, but I'll take anything.
(29:26):
Shorter days, which I secretlykind of love.
I'm gonna break in here.
Jeff, I do not.
Last night, the first night ofof this time change, we were in
bed at fucking 5 30.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I was because I wasn't feeling well.
Josh (29:41):
Right, but I like what am I gonna do?
And so it gets I know, but theywere doing their own thing or
whatever.
It got around eight o'clock,and I'm like, this evening is
interminable.
I could not believe it.
I slept.
I thought about it and woke up.
I think I slept like 14 hours.
Right, but I couldn't sleepbecause my body was like, it's
Not time.
But my eyes were like, yeah, itis.
(30:03):
And I didn't like thatcognitive dissonance.
Anyway, keep on with Jeff'sletter, Josh.
Okay, well, here we go.
Autumn leaves, another thingthat he likes, even though
there's not a tremendous amount.
Texas Autumn arrives around thefirst or second week of
December, believe it or not.
Preparation and anticipationfor Thanksgiving and the
December holidays and a generallift in my spirits because I
(30:25):
love this season so much.
Me too.
And then the birthdaycelebration for me in
mid-January.
Well, Jeff, we don't have thaton our holiday calendar, but we
do love Thanksgiving andChristmas.
And we also love Jeff.
So we'll love your birthday foryou.
Of course.
Oh, shall we have a birthdayparty here in honor of him?
Yes.
We totally should.
That would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Have a Jeff's birthday party.
Josh (30:45):
Yes.
Um, speaking of my birthday, Iwent ahead and bought an early
present for myself, even thoughit wasn't, it won't be realized
until three days after mybirthday.
I bought tickets for a concerton January 17th, and I couldn't
even tell anyone about it atwork when I purchased them
online because the late Gen Xand millennials won't even know
who I'm talking about.
Being a baby boomer, well,actually, I consider myself a
(31:08):
part of the newer, updated, morein-tune group called Generation
Jones.
JJ (31:12):
Never heard of this in my entire life.
Josh (31:14):
Jeff, did you make this up, Generation Jones?
Like keeping up with theJoneses?
I guess.
I don't know.
Okay, anyway.
Allowed me to grow up withphenomenal music.
I purchased tickets to seeHerb, Alpert, and the new
Tijuana brass.
And I'm beyond excited.
Are you familiar with thisgroup?
None of those words.
I knew I know Tijuana.
I know brass.
(31:34):
I had an Uncle Herb.
Well, maybe this is the guy.
Who knows?
He's recorded 28 albums, fiveof which reached number one.
He's also the only musician tohave reached number one on
Billboard Top 100 as both avocalist and as an
instrumentalist.
He's 90 years old, so I hope hereally takes really good care
of himself between now andmid-January.
(31:55):
I'm going to tell you, I got introuble last time I talked
about old musicians getting onthe stage.
See the episode where I had toactually issue an apology to
Frankie Valley.
I'm just going to say, good onthis guy, Herb.
You know, as long as he'shaving fun and they're not
trotting him out, making himplay, and then, you know,
putting him away in a cornerwhile they use the money.
(32:15):
That's fine.
He goes on.
I didn't get to do all thethings I wanted for Halloween
this past weekend.
My friend group that I considermy family here in Houston has a
small gathering that we havecreated primarily for Halloween,
but we do invoke itperiodically during the week as
well.
We call ourselves the Witch'sCouncil.
I love it so much.
And whenever we meet, it'scalled the Covenstead, like
(32:38):
Homestead.
We gather wearing our witch'shat, light candles, drink wine,
and dish on whatever needs to besaid.
Jeff, isn't that called Fridaynight?
Usually it's just banteringback and forth or making eyes
and inappropriate gestures toany hot bears, muscle daddies,
or twunks that we happen to see.
What's a twon?
He was hoping you would ask.
(32:59):
I don't think I've talked aboutthis one, he said.
It's a Twink who's aged out ofhis first 25 years, has put some
meat on his bones or added someluscious muscle.
Would that be me?
Don't make me classify you.
Obviously, it's a portmanteaubetween Twink and Hunk.
Think Zach Efron, TaylorLautner, Taylor uh people I
(33:20):
don't know, and Brandon Perea.
Who's Taylor Zakhar Perez?
JJ (33:25):
I don't know who that is.
Josh (33:26):
Mercy they could pass me around like Thanksgiving gravy.
Anyway, we gathered at myfriend Dale's place, bought
wine, I brought vodka, and alsobrought three to four different
elements for a ginormouscharcuterie spread that we
created.
It was massive and I ate toomuch.
By the end of the evening,around 11-ish, I went home
without getting to the gay boodto see all the costumes.
(33:48):
But he still had a fabulousnight.
Yes, you can.
He said this about what I saidabout all of the frickin'
Halloween candy.
He he agrees that the severalnights of Halloween candy
procurement is now out of hand.
It's almost like Big Pharma isbanking on the sale of future
drug medications to combatdiabetes and weight gain.
(34:08):
Would Winthrop be interested indonating some of his candy to
food banks or soup kitchens?
Just a thought.
That's a really good idea.
Diabetes.
Winthrop School does this thingwhere they you give them your
candy and they sell it to alocal orthodontist, and then for
every pound of candy that yougive to the orthodontist, they
give a dollar to the school'sPTO.
Then what do they do with thecandy?
(34:29):
They throw it away.
The orthodontists used to sendit like to troops that were
deployed.
I don't know if that's still athing.
Concerning parties, Jeff said,like Amanda, if I know I've
invited someone that knows noone else, I'll try to make some
connections for them.
But at the same time, I realizethese are grown-ass adults and
they can practice being acontributing member of society
(34:50):
and do that for themselves aswell.
That's a good point, Jeff.
I am not big on structuredparties because I had asked that
question.
Dale, my friend, that I boughtmy house from, always had a huge
Christmas party every year hereat my now house.
The theme of his parties wasalways the same.
It was called Christmas balls.
And everyone had to bring theirhors d'oeuvres in the shape of
(35:11):
a ball.
The tagline on the invitationwas I want to fit all your balls
into my mouth.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Okay.
Josh (35:17):
We had a contest and everyone voted on their favorite
balls that were brought.
That was the only structure wehad at those parties.
Not to brag, but I won the bestballs for the last three years
of his parties before he soldthe house to me.
Amanda wants to get Winthrop aCasio keyboard.
Yes, I guess I do.
He says, good call on thatkeyboard, but I have a question.
(35:37):
What is a gaming chair?
That's a new term for me, Iguess, simply because the last
video game I ever played was onmy Atari back in the late 70s.
It's it's marketing.
It's just this like ergonomiclike chair that you're supposed
to be able to lean back in andhave your kids.
It's dumb.
He's not getting one, so youdon't even know what it is.
We mentioned a story last weekwhere someone shot a speculum
(36:00):
out of their vagina.
Yes, yes.
To their onto their or or attheir gynecologist.
He said, if that happened tome, I would lay my body down on
the floor in the shape of across and give up the spirit.
Uh I also talked about theperson who said that whenever
they had bread slices, theyneeded to be the partner or like
(36:23):
the ones that are right next tothe other.
He says that he agrees withthat.
Speaking of sliced bread, haveI ever told you that a friend of
mine is the great-grandson ofthe man that invented the
machine that makes sliced bread?
His great-grandfather mademillions.
Every time I hear the phrasebetter than sliced bread, I
always think of him.
Amanda (36:44):
Millions?
Josh (36:45):
Yeah.
Amanda (36:46):
For slicing bread?
Josh (36:47):
Yeah, but it's the first machine that did it.
Amanda (36:49):
I know.
Josh (36:49):
That's like why they always say that Jimi Hendrix was
the greatest guitar playerever.
There's guitar players now whoare much better than him, but he
was basically one of the first.
And so that's why that's athing.
Well, guys, I'm off to mySunday fun day at the ripcord.
I guess I really should notdrink today since I'm taking
steroids, but my research hasyielded results that say it's
not explicitly verboten, justnot recommended.
(37:12):
He hopes this week iseverything wonderful for us and
that we limit Winthrop'schocolate intake.
Well, we have a problem withthat because tomorrow is
Winthrop's birthday and I gothim a chocolate cake because
Winthrop loves himself achocolate cake with chocolate
frosting.
Muffy is getting a vanilla cakewith vanilla frosting.
These are the two children.
Do you know what this child hassaid to me the other day?
(37:34):
Winthrop?
Yes.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
Okay.
Josh (37:37):
He uses the like most precocious verbs for somebody
his age.
We were talking, he told me hewas thirsty the other night at
bedtime.
And so I gave him water, andthen he said something to me
like, I haven't, I haven'tconsumed enough water today.
Oh, wow.
The child said consumed.
He's just, he's just, I justdon't, I have it on the channel.
He's a problem for this child.
(37:58):
But we love him.
But he's a problem.
But it's his birthday.
So everybody reach out and wishMuffy and Winthrop very happy
19th and 9th birthday tomorrow.
Alright, Amanda, that's allthere is.
There is no more.
What'd you think of that mess?
I mean, it was a mess, but Ienjoyed it.
(38:20):

create this cacophony of sound,light, and wonder.

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.
