Speaker 1 (00:00):
Familiar Wilson's Media Relationships are the
story.
You are made of meat, my friend, all the way down.
The following podcast useswords like and and also If
you're not into any of that shit, then now's your chance.
Three, two, one run.
(00:21):
I'm super familiar with you,wilson.
Get it Welcome to SuperFamiliar with the Wilsons.
I'm Josh or maybe I should callthis little intro Super
Familiar with the Wilson,because it's just me.
Today, as you can tell from myvoice, I am recovering from
(00:42):
being sick, been sick for abouttwo and a half weeks now.
That's why we missed ourepisode last week.
I just wasn't up for it.
And beyond that, we're bundlingup Muffy and sending her off to
college.
I say sending her off tocollege.
She's going down the road butstill going to be an adjustment
for us, and our house does kindof look like we've taken all the
(01:03):
things and thrown them on thefloor.
So that's fun.
I do have to say that being sicknow, post-pandemic, is so much
different than being sick before.
I remember when I was a kid I'dwake up and I had really bad
allergies and if I, you know,was having allergic reaction,
I'd say I'm sick.
Or if I caught a cold, I'd be Ihave a cold, I'm sick, or
anything that had a fever.
(01:25):
I'd be like, oh, I have the flu, I'm sick.
And then you rest for a coupledays, you drink a lot of water
and then bada-bing, bada-boom,you're done with it.
Now, if we don't know exactlywhat we have, we freak out, or
at least I do.
I don't freak out, but I feelthe need to know what kind of
virus I have when I'm sick andwhat the decimal points and
(01:47):
letters are behind it.
Or else it's just a mysterythat I can't deal with and I
can't handle.
And this is what the pandemichas done to us.
If I can't say that I've gotflu HWQ.7, then I feel like I'm
negligent in diagnosing myself.
So I can take care of myself.
I'm quite certain that when wewere kids we were catching all
(02:07):
of these exotic diseases and wedidn't even know it.
We didn't give a damn.
We're just like, oh, I'm sick,give me the crackers and the
Gatorade and I'll be okay.
I don't think I prefer it theway it is now, anyway.
So this weekend we are sendingMuffy off to college, and I've
done this with two boys, my twoolder sons.
(02:30):
Totally different doing it witha daughter.
It's all of the complications ofwedding planning, with less
cake and possibly more crying.
I say possibly because itdepends on who you're marrying.
And here I am with all theenergy of a boiled noodle.
But we'll get through it.
We'll get through it and wewill tell you all about it next
(02:50):
week, assuming that Amanda cankeep it all together.
Also, we'll share with you nextweek the continuing drama with
our homeowners association slashbuilder.
There have been developments,very exciting, interesting
developments, so we'll talkabout that as well.
So I got a couple of segmentshere for you in this very much
shorter episode, because wedidn't want to go two weeks
(03:12):
without you knowing who we were.
We've got a game time here, andthen we've got Amanda
recommending this thing that Ithink might spell the downfall
of all human civilization.
So do enjoy.
What time is it?
(03:37):
Game time, game time.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That song means it's game time, but it's not really a
game.
I have a little query for josh,but we love that song by acjw
and I did it wrong again.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Why do I do?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
that he even laughed at me because he and I have the
same aw, but he ajc, he A-J-C-Wman.
That's really hard for me.
Anyway, we love that song byour son Andrew and so we wanted
to play it, but it's not reallya game.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
We talked to Andrew last week actually on the
podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And you told him how I never get it right.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah and then you do that, so wonderful, all right.
So this game that's not a game.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Go.
So I'm going to give you aseries of words starting from
the 1500s and I want to see ifyou can figure out what these
words are referring to.
Oh okay, that is a game, Iguess kind of.
Yeah, but it's not very long,all right.
So jewel the 1500s, these arewords from the 1500s, okay okay
jewel oven pudding fiddle ironplow wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
can I not have?
No, no, no, no.
What's happening right now?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
We're just going to keep going up by centuries until
you figure out what categorythese are in.
Don't you love playing theconnections game?
This is what we're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, well, you didn't explain any of that.
So what you're saying is you'resaying a bunch of words and I'm
figuring out go back and listen.
All right, just start all overagain.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I am starting with the 1500s and we're going to go
up to the 2000s.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And I'm going to give you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
These words are all words for a certain category.
Thank you so we'll see how longit takes you to figure out.
In what century would you havecottoned on to what these words
were?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I said cotton caught on.
Is that like a southern racistthing?
I don't think it is.
You're southern.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I am.
I mean, my mom grew up on acotton farm picking cotton as
tenant farmers.
Okay, all right.
So in the 1500s the words werefor this category jewel, oven,
pudding, fiddle, iron plow.

But what's a schlong?
A thing you're right so it'snot porn but these are slang
throughout history for genitaliaoh so in the 1500s the vagina
was jewel oven or pudding right,and then the vagina was jewel
oven or pudding.
Speaker 1 (07:04):

Speaker 2 (07:05):
And then the penis was fiddle, iron or plow.

Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
And the penis was needle, cockatoo and sweetmeat.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Okay, needle would be a problem for some people.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yes, all right.
And then in the 1700s, we havesnatch, which is where I thought
you were going to get it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, I mean, I did kind of get it.
Speaker 2 (07:26):

Speaker 2 (08:01):

right.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
If you're lucky, yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
In the 1900s the female parts were jelly roll
Jelly roll, that's not good.
Oh, give me some of that jellyroll, oh God.
Okay, boogie or wazoo.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Wazoo up the wazoo.
Yes, I guess that's what thatmeans.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
No, and then the male parts were dingbat nards and
love pump.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, nards is the testiculus.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, but that's what this says.
Okay, and then in the 2000s,which I've not heard, any of
these.
For the female parts, it's Moot, Batcave and Burger.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, what does that do with the point is Moot?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Right, right and then Wait.
Burger yes.
Speaker 1 (08:55):

That would really mess with myburger reviews.
I'm going around town right nowfor this website.
I'm starting and I'm doingburger reviews.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Please don't be reviewing burgers in town.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Next we're going to review jelly rolls.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Nope.
And then in the 2000s, for themale parts was Jammer, Old Chap
and Bonafone.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Okay, this is British .
Speaker 2 (09:17):
This is British it has to be, but Old chap and
bonaphone.
Okay, this is British, this isBritish, it has to be.
But this book I mean, I wasreading yesterday.
So a friend of mine got me thebook Word Slut for my birthday
and it's a feminist guide totaking back the English language
, and the point this chapter wasmaking is that all of the words
for male genitalia are likeintense, like action verbs, like
(09:40):
real, like real, likeaggressive, and the words for
women were real, like, just likea receptacle, like we are.
We are less than unless theneedle is in or something.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So I would rather have a jelly roll than a needle
let me tell you that right now.
It's interesting because Ilearned a UK phrase um this past
week.
I'd never heard before, whichis surprising to me because I
think I've heard a lot of themand that is wind your neck in.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh, what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh, that's good.
What do you think?
Wind your neck in means.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Is it like don't get your panties in a wad.
It means like calm down.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yes, it means well.
Actually it has two meanings.
I've heard it used in the uhcontext of calm down yeah, you
need to.
To like, like stop, and youneed to consider and think.
But also, because I was lookingat the etymology of the word,
it means like wind your neck in,like don't stick your nose in
other people's business type ofthing, yeah but I like that one
(10:33):
wind your neck in.
Yes, I used that work the otherday and they looked at me like
I was crazy did you explain itit to them?
No, I don't tend to.
I tend to throw phrases in thatI learn and I just leave it at
that, and I think that I havereached that reputation at work
where they're just like okaywhatever, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's just who he is , it's fine.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Let me, though, ask you if you know what some of
these UK slang words?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
mean and you words mean and you should know most of
these.
I feel like um you know whatchuffed means?
Speaker 1 (11:02):

very saccharine.
Speaker 2 (12:44):

Speaker 1 (12:45):
So, anyway, there are your UK slang words that you
can now start folding into yourlanguage at school and or work,
and they'll look at you likethey look at me.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Along with all of along with actually no one wants
that along with all of thegenitalia, words we just taught
you that's right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Pocket watch ticking, constricting coat and vest
marking moments.
And now a dog poem.
That dog's at it again.
Neurotic vigilance, barking atthe postman's left shoe with
canine diligence, a phantommenace in every dust speck that
floats this hairy paranoid withdental overbite notes.
(13:27):
The wind picks up.
He's off his daggum head,barking at the concept of
Tuesday.
Instead of lying down likenormal dogs should do, he's
protesting.
The color magenta.
He apparently also hates blue.
Instead of lying down likenormal dogs should do, he's
protesting the color magenta.
He apparently also hates blue.
Tax returns, microwaves, theneighbors to pay.
He's barking at shadows cast byEarl Grey.
(13:47):
The doorbell rings he thinksit's a conspiracy between the
cat next door and fancy Frenchpastry.
Ballpoint pens drive him up thewall.
Abstract paintings he hatesthem all.
Clouds shaped like Nebraska.
Silent documentaries, hisendless complaints about modern
dentistry.
In the dead of night he'llstart without warning, barking
(14:10):
at the concept of global warming.
I haven't slept right since2002, thanks to his vendetta
against bamboo.
So why does my dog bark at thewind?
And ikea furniture that needsassembling and a harsh critic of
interpretive ballet?
I reckon he's just wired thatway in a world where garden
(14:31):
gnomes plot revolution and sockdrawers require canine
retribution from quantum physicsto leftover curry, real or
imagined danger.
He's a Karen but furry.
He will remain my barkingfriend.
His hatred of jazz bands willnever end.
The neighborhood thinks we'vegone insane with his howling
(14:53):
dislike of cellophane.
Like of cellophane, no onelikes to be told what to do.
Now is the time in the programwhere we tell you what to do,
amanda.
What should we do?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
So you should go check out Goblin Tools.
I have started therapy to tryto deal with, you know, just
life, and I was meeting with mytherapist this week and we were
talking about de-escalationthing, practices or techniques
or tips or whatever.
And one of them was, you know,I get a lot of anxiety around
(15:30):
clutter, and so we were talkingabout.
You know, she's like, even ifyou could just pick one thing
that you could declutter, whatwould it be?
And I said, well, I could do my, I could do my bedside table
pretty easily, otherwise I getreally overwhelmed.
And so she showed me this thing.
It's Goblin Tools, is thewebsite, but then it has magic
to-do list and you put in whatit is you need to do and then
you can drag.
(15:51):
There's chili peppers and youcan go from a one to like a five
, and a one means it's going togive you minimal steps, a five
means it's going to give you aton of steps.
You decide how much scaffoldingyou need.
And so I used this the other daybecause Winthrop was fussing
about making up his bed, aboutcleaning up his room, and
usually he will do well if I'min the room going, okay, now
(16:11):
pick this up and I'll do this.
Like he doesn't know where tostart.
It's overwhelming.
We get that this thing.
So he clicked this thing.
I said I need to clean my roomand I put it in.
And it gave him a full list ofall the things he needed to do,
like, uh, pick up any clothesand put them in the hamper, pick
up things off the floor and putthem back where they're
supposed to go.
And he did this like a champ.
(16:31):
He would go to his room, do it,come back to me.
We click it off.
Then, when it got to his bed,he's super overwhelmed by making
up the bed.
I put that in as a separatetask and it broke it down and it
was so great.
But I can also see how this isgoing to be super helpful for me
when it comes to cleaning thehouse or decluttering.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It looks here like Goblin Tools was originally
invented to be.
Well, it says on the thing thatit's tools for the neuro spicy
and looking at the differentthings that you can do, um, I
can see that that would be so.
So you got the magic to-do listformalizer, text transformers
for tone right.
So, um, it helps you if, if youfeel like the way you've
(17:16):
written something might bemisunderstood by someone reading
it, so that's another tool.
I think that's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
There's also, I think , a pros and cons, so you can
put something in and it'll breakit down for you to help you
make decisions.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
They've also got something here called Judge.
Read a text for emotion.
Am I misreading the tone ofthis?
You know I need that sometimeswhen I'm dealing with texts from
my children.
Yes, I don't understand thistext.
So that's interesting,professor, which explains
anything.
Consultant, help me decide.
(17:52):
So is that the pro?
Yeah, that's the pro and con.
What are the pros and cons?
So you enter your text thereand then it gives you a list.
That's a pro and con.
What are the pros and cons?
So you enter your text thereand then it gives you a list.
That's really interesting.
Estimator, guess an activity'stime frame.
Compiler, turn a brain dumpinto actions.
And then I like this one Chef,create a recipe from ingredients
.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, so you just tell it what you have.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, now wait a second, let's see.
Now we're going to try thisWhile you're doing that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let me say there's also.
Goblin Tools has ateacher-facing version which
requires an account.
I don't know if there's a freeaccount or how much you have to
pay, but if I were still in theclassroom I would find it very
helpful.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
All right, so I'm putting in Give me an ingredient
, a random ingredient.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Garbanzo beans, okay or chickpeas, chickpeas.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Thank you, I'm not spelling garbanzo beans right?
Let's see, let's put ketchup,swiss cheese, chickpea, just one
chickpea.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Swiss cheese.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Swiss cheese and sardines.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Gross.
So let's see, watch it say youcannot cook anything with this.
Oh, it's thinking, okay whatdoes it say?
Dish name sardine and chickpeafish toast oh gross, I do not
want that oh god, so you toastso you're the one that fed it
(19:18):
weird ingredients.
Warm the sardines briefly tomake them easier to mash.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Mash them, mix in the ketchup and chickpeas and then
put it on the toasted bread.
Top with Swiss cheese slices.
No, thank you, I'm good I feelcompelled to try this, though we
will see, can you try it atsomeone else's house?
We'll see.
Alright, josh, that's all thereis.
(19:51):
There is no more.
What did you think of that mess?
well, josh, it was it was okay,it could have had more Amanda in
it, and you sound like WalmartGalactus, so you should probably
knock it off and go get somerest.
Okay, josh, that's a great idea.
All right, folks, until we talkto you next week.
Amanda and I, you all, go outthere and you be safe, you stay
(20:14):
well, being sick is for thebirds and you be nice to each
other, is that?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
what she says.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, she says be kind to each other.
So go, do that.
Bye.
So so what if I were to startan ASMR type of podcast with
(21:06):
this voice?
So let's try it out.
Hello baby, close your eyes,breathe deep, let it out slowly.
(21:26):
How's that?
Would you pay for that?
Familiar Wilson's Media Relationships are the
story.
You are made of meat, my friend, all the way down.
The following podcast useswords like and and also If
you're not into any of that shit, then now's your chance.
Three, two, one run.
(00:21):
I'm super familiar with you,wilson.
Get it Welcome to SuperFamiliar with the Wilsons.
I'm Josh or maybe I should callthis little intro Super
Familiar with the Wilson,because it's just me.
Today, as you can tell from myvoice, I am recovering from
(00:42):
being sick, been sick for abouttwo and a half weeks now.
That's why we missed ourepisode last week.
I just wasn't up for it.
And beyond that, we're bundlingup Muffy and sending her off to
college.
I say sending her off tocollege.
She's going down the road butstill going to be an adjustment
for us, and our house does kindof look like we've taken all the
(01:03):
things and thrown them on thefloor.
So that's fun.
I do have to say that being sicknow, post-pandemic, is so much
different than being sick before.
I remember when I was a kid I'dwake up and I had really bad
allergies and if I, you know,was having allergic reaction,
I'd say I'm sick.
Or if I caught a cold, I'd be Ihave a cold, I'm sick, or
anything that had a fever.
(01:25):
I'd be like, oh, I have the flu, I'm sick.
And then you rest for a coupledays, you drink a lot of water
and then bada-bing, bada-boom,you're done with it.
Now, if we don't know exactlywhat we have, we freak out, or
at least I do.
I don't freak out, but I feelthe need to know what kind of
virus I have when I'm sick andwhat the decimal points and
(01:47):
letters are behind it.
Or else it's just a mysterythat I can't deal with and I
can't handle.
And this is what the pandemichas done to us.
If I can't say that I've gotflu HWQ.7, then I feel like I'm
negligent in diagnosing myself.
So I can take care of myself.
I'm quite certain that when wewere kids we were catching all
(02:07):
of these exotic diseases and wedidn't even know it.
We didn't give a damn.
We're just like, oh, I'm sick,give me the crackers and the
Gatorade and I'll be okay.
I don't think I prefer it theway it is now, anyway.
So this weekend we are sendingMuffy off to college, and I've
done this with two boys, my twoolder sons.
(02:30):
Totally different doing it witha daughter.
It's all of the complications ofwedding planning, with less
cake and possibly more crying.
I say possibly because itdepends on who you're marrying.
And here I am with all theenergy of a boiled noodle.
But we'll get through it.
We'll get through it and wewill tell you all about it next
(02:50):
week, assuming that Amanda cankeep it all together.
Also, we'll share with you nextweek the continuing drama with
our homeowners association slashbuilder.
There have been developments,very exciting, interesting
developments, so we'll talkabout that as well.
So I got a couple of segmentshere for you in this very much
shorter episode, because wedidn't want to go two weeks
(03:12):
without you knowing who we were.
We've got a game time here, andthen we've got Amanda
recommending this thing that Ithink might spell the downfall
of all human civilization.
So do enjoy.
What time is it?
(03:37):
Game time, game time.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
That song means it's game time, but it's not really a
game.
I have a little query for josh,but we love that song by acjw
and I did it wrong again.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Why do I do?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
that he even laughed at me because he and I have the
same aw, but he ajc, he A-J-C-Wman.
That's really hard for me.
Anyway, we love that song byour son Andrew and so we wanted
to play it, but it's not reallya game.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
We talked to Andrew last week actually on the
podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And you told him how I never get it right.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah and then you do that, so wonderful, all right.
So this game that's not a game.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Go.
So I'm going to give you aseries of words starting from
the 1500s and I want to see ifyou can figure out what these
words are referring to.

you figure out what categorythese are in.
Don't you love playing theconnections game?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Okay, well, you didn't explain any of that.
So what you're saying is you'resaying a bunch of words and I'm
figuring out go back and listen.
All right, just start all overagain.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I am starting with the 1500s and we're going to go
up to the 2000s.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
And I'm going to give you.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
These words are all words for a certain category.
Thank you so we'll see how longit takes you to figure out.
In what century would you havecottoned on to what these words
were?
Speaker 1 (05:23):

tenant farmers.

throughout history for genitaliaoh so in the 1500s the vagina

specific to, but I mean knoband schlong, are still in use
right.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
If you're lucky, yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
In the 1900s the female parts were jelly roll
Jelly roll, that's not good.
Oh, give me some of that jellyroll, oh God.
Okay, boogie or wazoo.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Wazoo up the wazoo.
Yes, I guess that's what thatmeans.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
No, and then the male parts were dingbat nards and
love pump.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Well, nards is the testiculus.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, but that's what this says.
Okay, and then in the 2000s,which I've not heard, any of
these.
For the female parts, it's Moot, Batcave and Burger.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Okay, what does that do with the point is Moot?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Right, right and then Wait.
Burger yes.
Speaker 1 (08:55):

That would really mess with myburger reviews.
I'm going around town right nowfor this website.
I'm starting and I'm doingburger reviews.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Please don't be reviewing burgers in town.
Speaker 1 (09:07):

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Nope.
And then in the 2000s, for themale parts was Jammer, Old Chap
and Bonafone.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Okay, this is British .
Speaker 2 (09:17):
This is British it has to be, but Old chap and
bonaphone.
Okay, this is British, this isBritish, it has to be.
But this book I mean, I wasreading yesterday.
So a friend of mine got me thebook Word Slut for my birthday
and it's a feminist guide totaking back the English language
, and the point this chapter wasmaking is that all of the words
for male genitalia are likeintense, like action verbs, like
(09:40):
real, like real, likeaggressive, and the words for
women were real, like, just likea receptacle, like we are.
We are less than unless theneedle is in or something.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So I would rather have a jelly roll than a needle
let me tell you that right now.
It's interesting because Ilearned a UK phrase um this past
week.
I'd never heard before, whichis surprising to me because I
think I've heard a lot of themand that is wind your neck in.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Oh, what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Oh, that's good.
What do you think?
Wind your neck in means.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Is it like don't get your panties in a wad.
It means like calm down.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yes, it means well.
Actually it has two meanings.
I've heard it used in the uhcontext of calm down yeah, you
need to.
To like, like stop, and youneed to consider and think.
But also, because I was lookingat the etymology of the word,
it means like wind your neck in,like don't stick your nose in
other people's business type ofthing, yeah but I like that one
(10:33):
wind your neck in.
Yes, I used that work the otherday and they looked at me like
I was crazy did you explain itit to them?
No, I don't tend to.
I tend to throw phrases in thatI learn and I just leave it at
that, and I think that I havereached that reputation at work
where they're just like okaywhatever, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
That's just who he is , it's fine.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Let me, though, ask you if you know what some of
these UK slang words?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
mean and you words mean and you should know most of
these.
I feel like um you know whatchuffed means?
Speaker 1 (11:02):

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh, I didn't know that Gaffer.
Well, that's somebody who workson a movie set with the tape

No, it's like, uh I think itmeans like it's like your your

So yeah, like saccharine, like something being
very saccharine.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was thinking like too sweet yeah
.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
So, anyway, there are your UK slang words that you
can now start folding into yourlanguage at school and or work,
and they'll look at you likethey look at me.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Along with all of along with actually no one wants
that along with all of thegenitalia, words we just taught
you that's right.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Pocket watch ticking, constricting coat and vest
marking moments.
And now a dog poem.
That dog's at it again.
Neurotic vigilance, barking atthe postman's left shoe with
canine diligence, a phantommenace in every dust speck that
floats this hairy paranoid withdental overbite notes.
(13:27):
The wind picks up.
He's off his daggum head,barking at the concept of
Tuesday.
Instead of lying down likenormal dogs should do, he's
protesting.
The color magenta.
He apparently also hates blue.
Instead of lying down likenormal dogs should do, he's
protesting the color magenta.
He apparently also hates blue.
Tax returns, microwaves, theneighbors to pay.
He's barking at shadows cast byEarl Grey.
(13:47):
The doorbell rings he thinksit's a conspiracy between the
cat next door and fancy Frenchpastry.
Ballpoint pens drive him up thewall.
Abstract paintings he hatesthem all.
Clouds shaped like Nebraska.
Silent documentaries, hisendless complaints about modern
dentistry.
In the dead of night he'llstart without warning, barking
(14:10):
at the concept of global warming.
I haven't slept right since2002, thanks to his vendetta
against bamboo.
So why does my dog bark at thewind?
And ikea furniture that needsassembling and a harsh critic of
interpretive ballet?
I reckon he's just wired thatway in a world where garden
(14:31):
gnomes plot revolution and sockdrawers require canine
retribution from quantum physicsto leftover curry, real or
imagined danger.
He's a Karen but furry.
He will remain my barkingfriend.
His hatred of jazz bands willnever end.
The neighborhood thinks we'vegone insane with his howling
(14:53):
dislike of cellophane.
Like of cellophane, no onelikes to be told what to do.
Now is the time in the programwhere we tell you what to do,
amanda.
What should we do?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
So you should go check out Goblin Tools.
I have started therapy to tryto deal with, you know, just
life, and I was meeting with mytherapist this week and we were
talking about de-escalationthing, practices or techniques
or tips or whatever.
And one of them was, you know,I get a lot of anxiety around
(15:30):
clutter, and so we were talkingabout.
You know, she's like, even ifyou could just pick one thing
that you could declutter, whatwould it be?
And I said, well, I could do my, I could do my bedside table
pretty easily, otherwise I getreally overwhelmed.
And so she showed me this thing.
It's Goblin Tools, is thewebsite, but then it has magic
to-do list and you put in whatit is you need to do and then
you can drag.
(15:51):
There's chili peppers and youcan go from a one to like a five
, and a one means it's going togive you minimal steps, a five
means it's going to give you aton of steps.
You decide how much scaffoldingyou need.
And so I used this the other daybecause Winthrop was fussing
about making up his bed, aboutcleaning up his room, and
usually he will do well if I'min the room going, okay, now
(16:11):
pick this up and I'll do this.
Like he doesn't know where tostart.
It's overwhelming.
We get that this thing.
So he clicked this thing.
I said I need to clean my roomand I put it in.
And it gave him a full list ofall the things he needed to do,
like, uh, pick up any clothesand put them in the hamper, pick
up things off the floor and putthem back where they're
supposed to go.
And he did this like a champ.
(16:31):
He would go to his room, do it,come back to me.
We click it off.
Then, when it got to his bed,he's super overwhelmed by making
up the bed.
I put that in as a separatetask and it broke it down and it
was so great.
But I can also see how this isgoing to be super helpful for me
when it comes to cleaning thehouse or decluttering.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It looks here like Goblin Tools was originally
invented to be.
Well, it says on the thing thatit's tools for the neuro spicy
and looking at the differentthings that you can do, um, I
can see that that would be so.
So you got the magic to-do listformalizer, text transformers
for tone right.
So, um, it helps you if, if youfeel like the way you've
(17:16):
written something might bemisunderstood by someone reading
it, so that's another tool.
I think that's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
There's also, I think , a pros and cons, so you can
put something in and it'll breakit down for you to help you
make decisions.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
They've also got something here called Judge.
Read a text for emotion.
Am I misreading the tone ofthis?
You know I need that sometimeswhen I'm dealing with texts from
my children.
Yes, I don't understand thistext.
So that's interesting,professor, which explains
anything.
Consultant, help me decide.
(17:52):
So is that the pro?
Yeah, that's the pro and con.
What are the pros and cons?
So you enter your text thereand then it gives you a list.
That's a pro and con.
What are the pros and cons?
So you enter your text thereand then it gives you a list.
That's really interesting.
Estimator, guess an activity'stime frame.
Compiler, turn a brain dumpinto actions.
And then I like this one Chef,create a recipe from ingredients
.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, so you just tell it what you have.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Okay, now wait a second, let's see.
Now we're going to try thisWhile you're doing that.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let me say there's also.
Goblin Tools has ateacher-facing version which
requires an account.
I don't know if there's a freeaccount or how much you have to
pay, but if I were still in theclassroom I would find it very
helpful.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
All right, so I'm putting in Give me an ingredient
, a random ingredient.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Garbanzo beans, okay or chickpeas, chickpeas.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Thank you, I'm not spelling garbanzo beans right?
Let's see, let's put ketchup,swiss cheese, chickpea, just one
chickpea.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Swiss cheese.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Swiss cheese and sardines.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Gross.
So let's see, watch it say youcannot cook anything with this.
Oh, it's thinking, okay whatdoes it say?
Dish name sardine and chickpeafish toast oh gross, I do not
want that oh god, so you toastso you're the one that fed it
(19:18):
weird ingredients.
Warm the sardines briefly tomake them easier to mash.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Mash them, mix in the ketchup and chickpeas and then
put it on the toasted bread.
Top with Swiss cheese slices.
No, thank you, I'm good I feelcompelled to try this, though we
will see, can you try it atsomeone else's house?
We'll see.
Alright, josh, that's all thereis.
(19:51):
There is no more.
What did you think of that mess?
well, josh, it was it was okay,it could have had more Amanda in
it, and you sound like WalmartGalactus, so you should probably
knock it off and go get somerest.
Okay, josh, that's a great idea.
All right, folks, until we talkto you next week.
Amanda and I, you all, go outthere and you be safe, you stay
(20:14):
well, being sick is for thebirds and you be nice to each
other, is that?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
what she says.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
No, she says be kind to each other.
So go, do that.
Bye.
So so what if I were to startan ASMR type of podcast with
(21:06):
this voice?
So let's try it out.
Hello baby, close your eyes,breathe deep, let it out slowly.
