Episode Transcript

(00:00):
And a happy Friday friend. Welcometo a thaw shower. My name is
in turn John. I'm I avoidedcrisis yesterday, which was it was something
straight out of like a sitcom wherewhen I go to the gym to get
swollen, I always like take offmy house keys and just bring in my
car key. Yeah, because Idon't want to have bulky keys. Yeah,

(00:23):
and then I try to remember tillI put the keys back on.
YadA YadA. So went to thegym, got swollen, went back to
my house, went to the garage, went to take Skittles for a walk
because Chewi is not going outside thisweather for a long period of time.
Skittles well, although Skittles started tolike get cold towards the end, so
we started to go back to myhouse. Garage. Door frozen shut.

(00:45):
Somehow between me getting home and thenleaving with Skittles, doors frozen shut.
Very exciting, but for me,I was like, it's okay, I
ain't bringing my house keys because I'mlike, I have a lock box with
a spare key. Yea, fugo to the lock box. Frozen shut.
I think it's because there was likesnow and the snow may be melted

(01:06):
and then whatever I mean, yeah, like being mechanical moving probably like refrozen.
Each each lever was frozen, andlike I was moving, I'm like,
I'm gonna for sure break a nailoff. So this is a nightmare.
So it's me and Skittles outside myhouse, locked out. I happened
to still have my car key inmy pocket, which was nice, so
I got to go in the carat least put Skittles in, and then
it was problem solving time because I'vebeen locked out before. And I don't

(01:30):
know if you ever called a locksmithbefore, sauce. It sucks. It
does suck because they don't you evercall one. When I was a kid,
my parents called a lot like yeah, because they don't like neatly go
through and delicately they take the lockoff. I feel like, now you
do that, But when I wasa kid, I don't remember them taking
locks off. Well, my parentscalled them a lot. I did it
once after a Caps game, similarsituation, except I didn't have a spare

(01:53):
key. They they drilled through thelock and then like you're kind of screwed
because you have a lock for aday, replace the locks. Yeah,
so they don't do it if theydon't do it for you though, yeah,
I know. Yeah, so uhso I was like, what am
I gonna do? It? Is? The first thing was I think you
suggested fire, So I went myfighter fire because you called it, and
I said fire or like sit onit, warm it up. So yeah,

(02:15):
I said, like I probably hotwater from seven to eleven. Yes,
I said do that. Yeah.So I got the lighter first and
that didn't work, and like itmelts it a little bit, and like,
this is the worst. My biggestfear was with the hot water because
like in Minnesota right now, it'slike negative degrees. If you pour water,
like it going freeze. Yes,just like freeze again. So I
was like, this has to bea pour the water and instantly go for

(02:38):
it. So you said, You'relike, I don't know if I pour
water hot water because I freeze,And I said, just try it.
I did, and I got inand it was very exciting. It was
a whole journey for you. Itcould have that could have been a nightmare
situation, Yx, like what wouldyou have had a call locks bit?
Yeah, And then I was sittingin my car after hockey last night.
I was in on the bench Iwas like, I don't know, my

(02:58):
house skies are Oh my god,Like, if I did this to myself
again, that'd be pretty on brand. I was gonna say, if you
do that again, I would thupto you, but no, Luckily they
were in my car. So alsokind of say this, So we're going
to the Ravens game tomorrow. Yeah, you're going with your friend Kate.
Yeah, you kind of you kindof pushed me in to get tickets,
like earlier this week. I thoughtit'd be fun and you should. Yah.

(03:20):
I'm like, okay, so I'mgoing my buddy Ryan. Very exciting.
I ordered a bunch of like heatgear the game. It's been delayed
three times. Oh it keeps sayingthe whole thing uh huh oh, says
out for delivery each time, andthen delivering by nine o'clock. We leave
in the morning because I got someof it last night, but my apartment's
odd with mail. But last dayI had a front over and literally like

(03:46):
I got home last day probably ninethirty and the front desk guy was like,
you have a lot of packages ofthe back because I had just gotten
all my Amazon stuff for the Ravensgame delivered and I was like, okay,
so I probably had it looked likeseven packages, but everything was like
individually bagged. But it was likemy gloves. My uh, I don't
get a hat because kat Kate actuallybought us like hats or matching, but

(04:08):
it was my gloves, heat warmers, my leggings and stuff. So well
I already socks. Yeah, andmy socks are delayed as well. No,
no, I got my socks.So it says the socks or are
supposed to be coming today. Igot three pack. If you need the
shirt, it is supposed to becoming today. But then it says the
gloves expected to be coming today.But then when you click on it says
expected on the twentieth, which isthat's tomorrow. Oh yeah, well not

(04:34):
great. And then the same thingwith the pants, which I think is
probably the most important part. Iwas gonna say, the gloves, mydack
can bring you gloves. My dadhas like all the you know, because
my dad's all about that life,so he probably has an extra pair.
I wonder if I should try toorder Probably should order more in the meantime,
as I say, maybe if youcould like get them overnighted. Yeah,
but like order a new pair thenjust like you can return them.
Yeah that's so annoying. Yeah,no, that is annoying. That sucks.

(04:57):
Yeah, either way, you'll you'llbe fine. No, yeah,
it's yeah, I want Yeah,I know. It's I'm trying to figure
that out because I I don't wantto overdressed and sweat my nuts off or
underdress and freeze them off. Iwas seeing the same thing, so I
started trying on my layers and stuffto wear nice and like going out on
my balcony. So I was gonnago on a walk with it. I
was like, I'm not gonna bewalking around like you know, cause I

(05:18):
was gonna go like an actual walkoutside the other day and I was like,
I'm not gonna be like on awalk walk and my stuff. You're
gonna be standing though, So that'sgonna be worse. I feel like.
Yeah. But so I have theseflea lined tights that I wore out last
night and I was inside, soI was like, wow, I'm sweating
really badly. Side. Yeah,but we're gonna be out with seing me

(05:39):
like twenty degrees, ain't it.Yeah? But no, that's just like
my bottom layer. Oh okay,it's like flee slight like they're they kind
of are leggings but not okay,but they are literally like fleece. They're
they're thick. I can't explain themto you because you're a guy. Yeah,
but they're nice, they're good.That's good. Then yeah, no,
I'm good either way. Like,I think you'll be fine if you
go into the game. Some say, Hi, it's gonna be a lot

(06:01):
of fun. I'm so excited.I thought this is interesting too. When
a door doesn't say push or poll, what do you try first? I
think push. It depends if likethe handles on the outside, because last
night there was a handle on theoutside and I was about to push,
and I was like, no,it's it's on the outside, so I
pulled it. I keep getting wronghere at the station. But now that
I think of it, it's becausethere's handles on both sides. Like to

(06:23):
leave, you're supposed to push,I think, but I always pull.
If I saw again, actually pullyhandle, I'd just pull it. Yeah,
that's what I'm saying. But youknow what I'm saying, like the
doors of the station, that it'sthe both on each side. Those I
promise you by the end of theyear that that glass door is gonna break,
because there's sometimes you get to likepush to exit, and sometimes it
just does it. I'matically yeah,And when it doesn't do it, it's

(06:43):
like I'm like, I'm about togo through this dam because because I used
to hit the exit buttonary time,and Rose like a few months ago was
like, you don't have to dothat, and then Lily we both ran
in it together. Yeah, andyou like never mind. So somebody try
to figure out what most people do. I think I'm a poll guy.
I just look at it and thenthe side. But usually I'm a push
pusher. I think I try tolook at like the like push edges,

(07:05):
at the edges, but like thehinges too, to see where that's going.
I don't. I'm not the observant. Yeah. Maybe for you,
although leaving the gym, I getwrong every time. Okay, well that's
exciting. You're just like toothwool.That's it. Fifty one percent say they
try pushing it first. Okay,Yeah, they say men are more likely
to push. I guess because mepushing is more violent. I think that

(07:26):
you're just like it's like your yournature, you know, like you see
it you're just like pushing and they'relike, oh, that's wrong, whereas
it you're pulling it. It's likeI'm just checking real quick. Like when
I go to nurse Meghan, nomatter what, I get that door wrong
every time because I'm overthinking it.And every time I like walk up toes
like that's a push door. No, it's a pull door. I'm just
gonna kick it from now on.Yeah, I mean people in the Northeast,
so that'd be you. It couldbe pushers. You're you live here

(07:48):
too, Yeah, but I'm nota Northeasterner. I'm a Midwesterner. We've
lived here for like ten plus years. I was time my mom the other
day about Chewy and I was like, Oh, he's lived the majority of
his life here, not Minnesota.I was thinking that the other day.
That's kind of weird. But Iwas like thinking. I was like wow,
like because I don't know saying mybrother's ig. I was like,
wow, I've had him, likelike I've known him for so long.
And I was like, wait,you've known two three years longer? Yeah,

(08:11):
be fifteen years in a couple ofweeks. C almost half my life,
which is crazy. People. UhSo Midwesterners are marbet polars. Okay,
makes sense? Uh? They sayas you get older, Americans under
thirty say they try pushing, fiftyolder say they pull. Okay, I
guess that makes sense. Yeah,I don't know. I think it's it's
more of like a I've never thoughtof it like that though. The anxiety

(08:33):
I get where it's like a unisexsaw at like a restaurant. Yeah,
like Chipoli is the worst where it'slike I slightly tap out knock because it's
like knocking seems too abrasive, butis so specific? Do you eat in
Chipolis a lot? I sound likeI think of that for sure. Has
like the unsex bathom where it's likethe single saw thing. Okay, we
have to like slowly push the handledown to make sure nobody's in there.

(08:54):
Yeah you know what I mean.Yeah, it gives me so much anxiety.
I appreciate stalls that have, likefor unisex, like the vacant one
that what you know? Yeah,yeah, unlast though, like I've walked
in on somebody before and I waslike, hey, did you just like
not lock the door? Yeah,like what are you doing? What I
did? One of those float tankthings once and the lady that showed me
what to do, Like I wentto the bathroom, she adn't locked the

(09:15):
doors, weird, and then shewas like, show me how locked the
doors in my room. I'm like, ma'am, I feel like you didn't
either. Yeah, I feel likeyou should be doing this really like take
your own advice. She was alittle bit salty at me. I was
like, I didn't pick the lock. I'm not the one that told you
how to do this. Now.That was also like the float tank was
cool for a little bit, butI got a little paranoid in there because
it's just it's sensory deprivations, soyou just kind of like you freak out

(09:37):
for a second. It's like whenyou having a dream where you choke on
air and you wake up like likekind of like that where it's like once
you realize what's going on, likeyou're going to the upside down like eleven.
So it supposed feel like sensory deprivation, right, yeah, exactly,
yeah, yeah, because it's likea bunch of saltwater, so you float,
yeah, and then it's just blackand then you just kind of forget
where you are. So not forme, no, no, it's called

(09:58):
blacking out. It's what that's called. Listen. If you go into the
game, make sure to say hi, appreciate you listen. You can follow
Sauce at follow me at Internjohn Radio. We'll see you Monday.
