Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't think I have to explain the booger wall.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
For years, you used to be able to point at
one here.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Okay, that was different, that was different.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh that's not what that was.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well, it was absolutely a booger wall. And maybe it
was one person's. Maybe it was one person's.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Didn't seem like it.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
No, but the in the bathroom by the urine all
there were so many boogers on that wall. There were
so many up there. Diane, I'm going to ask you,
as a child, did you ever have a booger wall?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Did any of your siblings? Did your brothers? I don't
know why. I say like boys, anybody could have a
girls picked their.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Nose too, Not to my knowledge.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Now did Marley have a booger wall?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Does Scott currently have a booger wall?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Does Diane currently have a bigger wall?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Do not know?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, really not you your kids? No.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I had never even heard the term, oh stop it
until I started working here.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You never heard of a booger wall.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, And I understand it could be referred to as
something different, but I had never even heard of the
concept of one.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I think the same thing it was here that I
had heard of it. What a lovely place to work.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, now you.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Had never heard of that, Kristen. You've heard of booger
walls for kids before. No, Oh, my god, the am
I on an island.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I mean you said it like you expected all of
us to know what it was, and we did once
we saw it here with our own eyes.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That's the key to you said, urinal. It wasn't in
the men's bathroom. No, it was in like a standalone
where anyone could use it. That's how yah knows what
it is.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, no, no, it was right at the urinal. Yeah,
but as a like, like I know, by the way,
my boys, neither of my boys, to the best of
my knowledge, have a booger wall or had a booger wall.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's just like it makes your stomach hurt. It's so disgusting.
Why I don't know, because it's a wall full of booger,
dried and mucus as I prefer to call it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But kids like so, kids are in bed, they pick
their nose and they take the booger and they wipe
it on the wall. And now sometimes it'll be kind
of like if there's like a headboard area or kind
of like low on the side. But they're definitely kids
growing up definitely have booger walls.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, I mean it's written about in real medical journals.
It's a thing, yes, but I did not know it
was a thing until well.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No, But with both of you saying I never heard
of it until we were here, like, granted, maybe you
haven't seen one, but you've definitely heard of it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I never heard that term either. Has more been written
about it in the last twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I don't think in the last twenty five years people
have started picking their nose.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
More uh dried nasal mucus.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I know what.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Boogers are often collected in place there by a child
who views them as a family. I'm sorry what.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Kids have great imaginations. So these are my booger families.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
See that part. I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Some people had sea monkeys. Other kids just had boogers
on their wall.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't have a pet, so these are my friends.
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh god. And by the way, by the way, wait,
what's wrong?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It just because I was searching, Oh do you check images,
and it's just naturally that's part of there. You go, Yeah,
that's so nasty.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
What age does booger walling end.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, we learned last week that you can wet the
bed until you're in your late teens.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh, remember that one dude sent us a note he
used pull up still he was fourteen. College dorms. If
you move into a college dorm.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm sure you could find one. We had adults working here.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But was that a bit like in college. Is it
a bit where it's like, I'm going to make a
booger wall for next year.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Trying to be funny?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well, I don't know. Diane was the one here meant
to be funny? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But you also kind of seemed to question whether or
not it was multiple people are one person? Do you
think because it has its roots in children's bedroom, it's
usually just one person, even when it's in a public setting. Absolutely, okay, Absolutely,
So you're not saying that in the cluster in the dorms,
(04:39):
all the guys are doing it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, No, I think it's what whoever is the resident
in that dorm room? Does it? Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
That is awful.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
By the way, I would bet adults that live alone.
Single people check aheadboard either the top or just right
over the top.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
This weekend I found nails what I was hoping for.
Clearly someone picking at their fingers in our basement and
then just placing them on the other side of the
couch cushion. That was lovely when I went to go
retrieve the ping pong ball. Is the pile of nails?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh, I'm guilty of that from time to time, picking
your nails. Oh yeah, And then if I get some,
I'll set it on like a little table next to
the couch and I don't pick it up. Yeah, Jackie,
Jackie not a huge fan. Not a huge fan of that.
I don't think it's the thing I do the most
that she hates. But I don't think it's one of
(05:37):
the things that she finds to be like a cute
quirk that I have. Where am I going line for?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
There he is leaving his nails again, Hi, Elliott the
more hey with me? Yes?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I had a massive loger wall when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And like and did you try to hide it or
was it just there?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
So my bed was like against the wall, like the longside,
and I used to roll over, you know, kind of
reached down underneath the matches a little bit. I mean,
it was anything from like the Krusty's to snot rockets.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Man, I get it, some of those goers.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It was.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
It was bad And by the time I got a
bigger bedroom, my parents had to literally scrape the paint
off the wall.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
To get get rid of the fuck get rid of
the boogers.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Were your parents pissed or no?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I think there are.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
More grossed out than pissed.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Right, yeah, but I mean, yeah, at what age did
you stop adding to it?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
It's probably thirteen fourteen.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Maybe, Yeah, that sounds about right. That sounds as well.
Living alone as a single person, like after high school
or college, did you have your own booger wall? Then?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Uh no, not really. It just started flicking them across
the room.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's got to say, I guarantee you you'd bite one
out from under your nail and just give a little bit.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
That's the only way I've been there.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
All right, very good, Thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
We're about to have a projectile vomit wall in a studio.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That's real life.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Brode You do you see him on board with this,
or at least comfortable with the idea that they exist.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's very natural.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Where would you be on a booger window. This DM says,
my daughter's favorite place to wipe them was the car window.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh that i'd be hot a bank you Yeah, that
I'm angry. Oh wait, wait, my car that I'd be
angry about. I would be furious about no food.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Because it's the car, or because like would you prefer
the back of the seat. No, not in the car,
So the car is completely use a tissue you.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Animal at home. But the wall, I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And you do have a box of kleenex, can't see
up by the headrests and all your hats with cords line.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
For hi elliot in the morning.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Hey, my youngest is of six siblings, and I shared
a room with my two older brothers. And we find
him out of the room. We found the wallpaper that
was peeling and certain spots was held up just from
his book of the life. And then we pulled the
(08:36):
bed out of the wall and there's a line almost
like a border just below his mattress line where there
was also just a graveyard of.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Old snot right. Well, that's as far as I could
kind of tuck my hand under and reach. Fantastic, very good,
thank you, sir, Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Tyler, Oh my goodness. In college. All Katie saw was
her friend pick his nose and put boogers in his pocket.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh nasty in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And then Holly wants to know spit him on the floor.
And this has to be for Elliott alone, because there's
no way, I guess, Kristen. Perhaps Holly wants to know
if you were ever involved in any dares that utilized
a booger wall. No, no, no, Kristen, you never were
dared to lick it. Oh that's what Holly's referencing here.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, that never never, and nor would I Are you
gonna not eat that bagel because I'll take it the
Uh No, never licked it, never kissed it, never took it,
never took a piece off, none of that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh my god, it's sickening.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I don't even want to clean one. Where am I going? Line?
And then I'll tell you why I even bring it up?
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
More than Elliott's Dan, Hey, Dan, how are you? I'm
great man. So I'm doing maintenance over at my neighbor's
garage apartment and they have like a twenty eight year
old tenant. I am pretty sure he's used every wall
as a booger wall.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Are you serious.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
There's like slimy little fingermarks that end with like a
little chunky thing everywhere. And I was walking through with
the landlord and I could tell she was just in denial.
She's like, I don't think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm like, it is, Yeah, of course it is. Of
course it is. And that's an adult. That's a twenty
eight year old with a booger wall.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Yeah, late twenties man, single guy, kind of nerdy, but yep,
booger walls everywhere.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I read not too long ago. Hey, thank you, single guy.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Let's stay that way.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So I disagree. There was a story not too long ago.
And then I'll tell you what even gets me to
the booger wall, where there was somebody who was talking
about dating and they had gone back to I can't
remember if it was his place or her place for
the first time and was repulsed by the amount of
boogers on the headboard on the top.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
From Instagram. I'm thirty four. Yes, you strategically place I
don't even like saying the word. Do you strategically place
buggers on things you know you're going to throw away?
Like the side of a soda bottle. Kristen, are you
laughing because that's funny or does he find himself in
(11:30):
good company the okay, No.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
No, listen, I don't. I don't. I've definitely never done that.
I've picked and put him in a piece of paper.
I've picked and put him in a tissue. I've definitely
picked here and spit. I never had a booger wall.
That may be the most shocking revelation about me. I
(11:54):
never had a booger wall, nor did my kids.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, thinking that you unless they have him in now,
but no, hopefully not. But thinking that you had one
at some point in your past would have been on brand,
would have been for many people what they thought was
a safe bet.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah. No, not the case anyway. Here's why I bring
it up, and don't trust me. I'm not done. I
want to hear more. Dude was talking about as a kid,
he had a booger wall in his room, and one
day in his room he tripped and fell, and when
he fell, he fell into the booger wall. But two
(12:28):
things happened. When he fell into the wall, he cut
his back a little bit on just on the wall,
but it was on the booger wall. Fast forward, he
got a staff infection from from the booger wall. He
ended up having to go to the doctor. He ended
(12:48):
up having to go to the hospital, and they brought
a hasmat team in full Hasmatt uniforms into his room
to scrape down the booger wall. Was that No, it's
really he did it as a warner. At first, he
(13:09):
was like, nobody knew, like, how did I get a
staff infection? Like they just thought like, oh, like anything else,
you have a cut, you get an infection, Like what
caused it? They didn't know what caused the staff infection.
They were concerned, and they finally tracked it down to
where he fell. He felt cut his back, got some
booger in there, staff infection. Entire hazmat team showed up
(13:34):
at the house.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Isn't that great? Hey, Diane, I'm not trying to be
a nosy neighbor, but I couldn't help. But notice why
was there a hazmat team? You know what craziest thing?
Marley cut her back and fell into the booger wall.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I'd rather lie and tell someone family member died. Yes, yes,
I am not telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
The why staff from a booger who come on, we'll
all look back and laugh.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Now, and then I can say, oh, they woke up
in the ambulance. Good news.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Hey is this me?
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Who's this? Hey? This is David. I'm down at Coulpepper
right now. Yes, sir, Back about ten years ago, we
were I was driving to work with a coworker. I
was riding with him and he started getting sick and
we're headed towards the city and I decided, Hey, pool over,
I'll get the car and i'll drive. I had to
adjust the seat and I found his booger stats underneath
(14:45):
the seat. I asked him about it. He said it
was his braille collection.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You know that's hysterical.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I'm not going to name any names.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Jason Hyman, thank you, sir. By the way, I bet
car seat booger wall is big.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
But the car seat for adults. You're not saying car
seat like it's a child.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
No? No, for an adult? Yeah no? Like do I
think like an infant car seat is covered in boogers? Yeah? No,
I'm talking about driver's seat. Like just down here on
the side, I a little bit of cloth and it's
great because if it's clack, you can just wipe off
on that and it drives the finger.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Elliott, my dad owns an upholstery business. Oh yes, you
would not believe the amount of boogers he finds under
driver seats.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, so you're right, Diana, Line one, Hi Elliott in
the morning.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Hey it's Aaron Barlow. How are y'all?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh yeah, y'all don't remember?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Like my nickname in college was Booger, and thank god
that guy called it because yeah, booger wall, no booger
car seat. Yes, can we address.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Something more importantly?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Did you did you legally change your name? Did you
get rid of the middle name?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Oh no, I'm Aaron M. Barlow Barlow?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Like I kind of threw us off off.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh damn it. I didn't even so focused on that.
She's a booger picker. Wait, so your car seat remember.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That I was Booger in college.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Foosh, Hey, so wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Dude, TC used to be like what booger? I was like,
what guys?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Wait a minute, So your car seat right now has
boogers on it?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
No no, no, no, no no no no no no no.
Let's remember Tyler said that this is a medical condition.
So a little sympathy, y'all.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
When did I say that? I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Pull the tape, somebody. I don't know. It was in
college that I would always pick my nose and put
it on the side of my seat. And my sister
drew my car one time and was like, sweet Jesus.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
What is that.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I was like, oh, that's where I put my boogers.
And she's like, oh my god, you're nasty. And so
she would never get in my car because it was
always full of boogers on the side.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
But you travel a lot for work, You're driving around
a lot. Now what do you do with them?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Well, I put them in a tissue. Like I fully
believe my nostrils evolved to fit my finger perfectly because
I picked my nose so much. But no, I put
them in a tissue. I'm a grown up.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Come on, okay, tissue? Is this your backup though? Bite
it out from under your fingernail and give a little spit.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Cruise grows. No, I literally I evolved. I'm now like Diane.
I'm more of a lady and refined.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I'm sorry, that's gross, but your booger wall on your
car seat. Isn't bad?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Right in college? It was a long time ago, people,
A long time ago.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
All right, very good, Thank you, Aaron M. Barlow, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I did a quick search on x and she has
posted a lot about her past bad habits, but my
favorite here in April of twenty twenty. So this is
going to be. As we were starting to read, we
schools had already basically been out. But this is where
everyone started to panic. She wrote, I've had a booger
(18:39):
for an hour, but refused to touch my face until
I get home and wash my hands.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's when you knew COVID was here.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
About another thing. A lot of people wait, hold.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
On line five, Hold on one second.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yes, I've also never heard of this. Did you have
friends or colleagues that fed fed it to pets?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
No? Isn't that I wouldn't abusive, I would, well, I
don't think it's abusive.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I don't know that guy got a staff infection from
his He.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Cut his body open, he cut his back, and a
piece of the bogger wall went into the cut, into
the bloodstream. I've never heard of that, although I would bet,
I would bet that I have one colleague that did.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's not a current coworker, no former coworker. Do we
know them? You have not met them, but you know them,
And why do you think that they would be.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I just know. I just know some of the stuff
that he used to do.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh okay, well now I know who it is, do
you no?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Go ahead, Danny, yes, Danny Bonaducci.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
No, he wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I don't know. He wouldn't masturbate onto hardwood floor. So
he used an animal.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Okay, well, now you need to explain because that sounds
like it's bestiality.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He was. He lived in a rental apartment with hardwood floors.
And this is when he was married to Gretchen, and
he was masturbating a lot, and he would masturbate onto
the hardwood floors and Gretchen got really mad. I'm sorry, Christian,
you go ahead and met the Gretchen got really mad
(20:26):
at him. But they also had a Great Dane, so
occasionally not a lot. And this isn't a proud moment
for Danny. I'm sure he would say, but he would
occasionally masturbate onto the dog.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That is horrible.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is it worse than feeding them boogers?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, Suddenly I don't feel so nauseous hearing about the
mucus meal. Okay, are we done? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I know because Christen said I had to go to
line five.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
Hi Ellie in the morning, take a morning, guys.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
So I'm an elementary school teacher and I've seen a
lot of disgusting stuff, but I've definitely found booger chairs
booger desks.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh dude, I didn't even think of that. I just
sit in my chair and I wipe it on the like,
what is that like the tray table that I'm sitting at,
or if I'm sitting at like an actual table, I
wipe them right under there.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh dude, nasty right.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
But that's not even the worst. So there was this
one kid who I was going to his notebook to
check some work and I found, just to add the flavor,
an ear wax journal with chunks of earwax that were
both labeled with which ear came from, and then date
a journal.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now I believe, I believe I do wipe I have
a lot of ear wax, because I have a lot
of of ear wax the but I will wipe it
on the side of a chair.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I don't journal it, don't mark down like which year
that's weird?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, I know which year, which side of the chair
is that? I don't dig here, but I don't. But
I don't go right hand the left ear.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I don't know what you do the.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
No, but I that I do. I get that. I
get that. Yeah, that makes sense. But by the way,
the the that's a good one. Like a teacher, that's
a good one.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
They probably see the worst of it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Not as bad as the upholstery guy or Aaron m
Barlow's car.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Not During COVID
I don't think I have to explain the booger wall.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
For years, you used to be able to point at
one here.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Okay, that was different, that was different.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh that's not what that was.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Well, it was absolutely a booger wall. And maybe it
was one person's. Maybe it was one person's.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Didn't seem like it.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
No, but the in the bathroom by the urine all
there were so many boogers on that wall. There were
so many up there. Diane, I'm going to ask you,
as a child, did you ever have a booger wall?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Did any of your siblings? Did your brothers? I don't
know why. I say like boys, anybody could have a
girls picked their.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Nose too, Not to my knowledge.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Now did Marley have a booger wall?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Does Scott currently have a booger wall?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Does Diane currently have a bigger wall?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Do not know?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Okay, really not you your kids? No.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
I had never even heard the term, oh stop it
until I started working here.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You never heard of a booger wall.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, And I understand it could be referred to as
something different, but I had never even heard of the
concept of one.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I think the same thing it was here that I
had heard of it. What a lovely place to work.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, now you.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Had never heard of that, Kristen. You've heard of booger
walls for kids before. No, Oh, my god, the am
I on an island.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I mean you said it like you expected all of
us to know what it was, and we did once
we saw it here with our own eyes.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That's the key to you said, urinal. It wasn't in
the men's bathroom. No, it was in like a standalone
where anyone could use it. That's how yah knows what
it is.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, no, no, it was right at the urinal. Yeah,
but as a like, like I know, by the way,
my boys, neither of my boys, to the best of
my knowledge, have a booger wall or had a booger wall.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's just like it makes your stomach hurt. It's so disgusting.
Why I don't know, because it's a wall full of booger,
dried and mucus as I prefer to call it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But kids like so, kids are in bed, they pick
their nose and they take the booger and they wipe
it on the wall. And now sometimes it'll be kind
of like if there's like a headboard area or kind
of like low on the side. But they're definitely kids
growing up definitely have booger walls.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, I mean it's written about in real medical journals.
It's a thing, yes, but I did not know it
was a thing until well.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No, But with both of you saying I never heard
of it until we were here, like, granted, maybe you
haven't seen one, but you've definitely heard of it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I never heard that term either. Has more been written
about it in the last twenty twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I don't think in the last twenty five years people
have started picking their nose.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
More uh dried nasal mucus.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I know what.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Boogers are often collected in place there by a child
who views them as a family. I'm sorry what.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Kids have great imaginations. So these are my booger families.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
See that part. I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Some people had sea monkeys. Other kids just had boogers
on their wall.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't have a pet, so these are my friends.
That's sad.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh god. And by the way, by the way, wait,
what's wrong?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It just because I was searching, Oh do you check images,
and it's just naturally that's part of there. You go, Yeah,
that's so nasty.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
What age does booger walling end.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Well, we learned last week that you can wet the
bed until you're in your late teens.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Oh, remember that one dude sent us a note he
used pull up still he was fourteen. College dorms. If
you move into a college dorm.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I'm sure you could find one. We had adults working here.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But was that a bit like in college. Is it
a bit where it's like, I'm going to make a
booger wall for next year.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Trying to be funny?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well, I don't know. Diane was the one here meant
to be funny? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
But you also kind of seemed to question whether or
not it was multiple people are one person? Do you
think because it has its roots in children's bedroom, it's
usually just one person, even when it's in a public setting. Absolutely, okay, Absolutely,
So you're not saying that in the cluster in the dorms,
(04:39):
all the guys are doing it.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, No, I think it's what whoever is the resident
in that dorm room? Does it? Okay?
Speaker 2 (04:46):
That is awful.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
By the way, I would bet adults that live alone.
Single people check aheadboard either the top or just right
over the top.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
This weekend I found nails what I was hoping for.
Clearly someone picking at their fingers in our basement and
then just placing them on the other side of the
couch cushion. That was lovely when I went to go
retrieve the ping pong ball. Is the pile of nails?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh, I'm guilty of that from time to time, picking
your nails. Oh yeah, And then if I get some,
I'll set it on like a little table next to
the couch and I don't pick it up. Yeah, Jackie,
Jackie not a huge fan. Not a huge fan of that.
I don't think it's the thing I do the most
that she hates. But I don't think it's one of
(05:37):
the things that she finds to be like a cute
quirk that I have. Where am I going line for?
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
There he is leaving his nails again, Hi, Elliott the
more hey with me? Yes?
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Sure.
Speaker 6 (05:51):
I had a massive loger wall when I was younger.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And like and did you try to hide it or
was it just there?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
So my bed was like against the wall, like the longside,
and I used to roll over, you know, kind of
reached down underneath the matches a little bit. I mean,
it was anything from like the Krusty's to snot rockets.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Man, I get it, some of those goers.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It was.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
It was bad And by the time I got a
bigger bedroom, my parents had to literally scrape the paint
off the wall.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
To get get rid of the fuck get rid of
the boogers.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Were your parents pissed or no?
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I think there are.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
More grossed out than pissed.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Right, yeah, but I mean, yeah, at what age did
you stop adding to it?
Speaker 6 (06:42):
It's probably thirteen fourteen.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Maybe, Yeah, that sounds about right. That sounds as well.
Living alone as a single person, like after high school
or college, did you have your own booger wall? Then?
Speaker 6 (06:55):
Uh no, not really. It just started flicking them across
the room.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's got to say, I guarantee you you'd bite one
out from under your nail and just give a little bit.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
That's the only way I've been there.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
All right, very good, Thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
We're about to have a projectile vomit wall in a studio.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
That's real life.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Brode You do you see him on board with this,
or at least comfortable with the idea that they exist.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's very natural.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Where would you be on a booger window. This DM says,
my daughter's favorite place to wipe them was the car window.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Oh that i'd be hot a bank you Yeah, that
I'm angry. Oh wait, wait, my car that I'd be
angry about. I would be furious about no food.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Because it's the car, or because like would you prefer
the back of the seat. No, not in the car,
So the car is completely use a tissue you.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Animal at home. But the wall, I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And you do have a box of kleenex, can't see
up by the headrests and all your hats with cords line.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
For hi elliot in the morning.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
Hey, my youngest is of six siblings, and I shared
a room with my two older brothers. And we find
him out of the room. We found the wallpaper that
was peeling and certain spots was held up just from
his book of the life. And then we pulled the
(08:36):
bed out of the wall and there's a line almost
like a border just below his mattress line where there
was also just a graveyard of.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Old snot right. Well, that's as far as I could
kind of tuck my hand under and reach. Fantastic, very good,
thank you, sir, Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Tyler, Oh my goodness. In college. All Katie saw was
her friend pick his nose and put boogers in his pocket.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh nasty in your pocket.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And then Holly wants to know spit him on the floor.
And this has to be for Elliott alone, because there's
no way, I guess, Kristen. Perhaps Holly wants to know
if you were ever involved in any dares that utilized
a booger wall. No, no, no, Kristen, you never were
dared to lick it. Oh that's what Holly's referencing here.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, that never never, and nor would I Are you
gonna not eat that bagel because I'll take it the
Uh No, never licked it, never kissed it, never took it,
never took a piece off, none of that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Oh my god, it's sickening.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I don't even want to clean one. Where am I going? Line?
And then I'll tell you why I even bring it up?
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 8 (09:58):
More than Elliott's Dan, Hey, Dan, how are you? I'm
great man. So I'm doing maintenance over at my neighbor's
garage apartment and they have like a twenty eight year
old tenant. I am pretty sure he's used every wall
as a booger wall.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Are you serious.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
There's like slimy little fingermarks that end with like a
little chunky thing everywhere. And I was walking through with
the landlord and I could tell she was just in denial.
She's like, I don't think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm like, it is, Yeah, of course it is. Of
course it is. And that's an adult. That's a twenty
eight year old with a booger wall.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Yeah, late twenties man, single guy, kind of nerdy, but yep,
booger walls everywhere.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I read not too long ago. Hey, thank you, single guy.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Let's stay that way.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
So I disagree. There was a story not too long ago.
And then I'll tell you what even gets me to
the booger wall, where there was somebody who was talking
about dating and they had gone back to I can't
remember if it was his place or her place for
the first time and was repulsed by the amount of
boogers on the headboard on the top.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
From Instagram. I'm thirty four. Yes, you strategically place I
don't even like saying the word. Do you strategically place
buggers on things you know you're going to throw away?
Like the side of a soda bottle. Kristen, are you
laughing because that's funny or does he find himself in
(11:30):
good company the okay, No.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
No, listen, I don't. I don't. I've definitely never done that.
I've picked and put him in a piece of paper.
I've picked and put him in a tissue. I've definitely
picked here and spit. I never had a booger wall.
That may be the most shocking revelation about me. I
(11:54):
never had a booger wall, nor did my kids.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, thinking that you unless they have him in now,
but no, hopefully not. But thinking that you had one
at some point in your past would have been on brand,
would have been for many people what they thought was
a safe bet.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yeah. No, not the case anyway. Here's why I bring
it up, and don't trust me. I'm not done. I
want to hear more. Dude was talking about as a kid,
he had a booger wall in his room, and one
day in his room he tripped and fell, and when
he fell, he fell into the booger wall. But two
(12:28):
things happened. When he fell into the wall, he cut
his back a little bit on just on the wall,
but it was on the booger wall. Fast forward, he
got a staff infection from from the booger wall. He
ended up having to go to the doctor. He ended
(12:48):
up having to go to the hospital, and they brought
a hasmat team in full Hasmatt uniforms into his room
to scrape down the booger wall. Was that No, it's
really he did it as a warner. At first, he
(13:09):
was like, nobody knew, like, how did I get a
staff infection? Like they just thought like, oh, like anything else,
you have a cut, you get an infection, Like what
caused it? They didn't know what caused the staff infection.
They were concerned, and they finally tracked it down to
where he fell. He felt cut his back, got some
booger in there, staff infection. Entire hazmat team showed up
(13:34):
at the house.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Boom.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Isn't that great? Hey, Diane, I'm not trying to be
a nosy neighbor, but I couldn't help. But notice why
was there a hazmat team? You know what craziest thing?
Marley cut her back and fell into the booger wall.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I'd rather lie and tell someone family member died. Yes, yes,
I am not telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
The why staff from a booger who come on, we'll
all look back and laugh.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Now, and then I can say, oh, they woke up
in the ambulance. Good news.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Hey is this me?
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
Who's this? Hey? This is David. I'm down at Coulpepper
right now. Yes, sir, Back about ten years ago, we
were I was driving to work with a coworker. I
was riding with him and he started getting sick and
we're headed towards the city and I decided, Hey, pool over,
I'll get the car and i'll drive. I had to
adjust the seat and I found his booger stats underneath
(14:45):
the seat. I asked him about it. He said it
was his braille collection.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You know that's hysterical.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I'm not going to name any names.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Jason Hyman, thank you, sir. By the way, I bet
car seat booger wall is big.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
But the car seat for adults. You're not saying car
seat like it's a child.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
No? No, for an adult? Yeah no? Like do I
think like an infant car seat is covered in boogers? Yeah? No,
I'm talking about driver's seat. Like just down here on
the side, I a little bit of cloth and it's
great because if it's clack, you can just wipe off
on that and it drives the finger.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Elliott, my dad owns an upholstery business. Oh yes, you
would not believe the amount of boogers he finds under
driver seats.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah, so you're right, Diana, Line one, Hi Elliott in
the morning.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Hey it's Aaron Barlow. How are y'all?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh yeah, y'all don't remember?
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Like my nickname in college was Booger, and thank god
that guy called it because yeah, booger wall, no booger
car seat. Yes, can we address.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Something more importantly?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Did you did you legally change your name? Did you
get rid of the middle name?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Oh no, I'm Aaron M. Barlow Barlow?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Like I kind of threw us off off.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Oh damn it. I didn't even so focused on that.
She's a booger picker. Wait, so your car seat remember.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That I was Booger in college.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Foosh, Hey, so wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Dude, TC used to be like what booger? I was like,
what guys?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Wait a minute, So your car seat right now has
boogers on it?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
No no, no, no, no no no no no no no.
Let's remember Tyler said that this is a medical condition.
So a little sympathy, y'all.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
When did I say that? I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Pull the tape, somebody. I don't know. It was in
college that I would always pick my nose and put
it on the side of my seat. And my sister
drew my car one time and was like, sweet Jesus.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
What is that.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
I was like, oh, that's where I put my boogers.
And she's like, oh my god, you're nasty. And so
she would never get in my car because it was
always full of boogers on the side.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
But you travel a lot for work, You're driving around
a lot. Now what do you do with them?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Well, I put them in a tissue. Like I fully
believe my nostrils evolved to fit my finger perfectly because
I picked my nose so much. But no, I put
them in a tissue. I'm a grown up.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Come on, okay, tissue? Is this your backup though? Bite
it out from under your fingernail and give a little spit.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Cruise grows. No, I literally I evolved. I'm now like Diane.
I'm more of a lady and refined.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I'm sorry, that's gross, but your booger wall on your
car seat. Isn't bad?
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Right in college? It was a long time ago, people,
A long time ago.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
All right, very good, Thank you, Aaron M. Barlow, thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I did a quick search on x and she has
posted a lot about her past bad habits, but my
favorite here in April of twenty twenty. So this is
going to be. As we were starting to read, we
schools had already basically been out. But this is where
everyone started to panic. She wrote, I've had a booger
(18:39):
for an hour, but refused to touch my face until
I get home and wash my hands.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That's when you knew COVID was here.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
About another thing. A lot of people wait, hold.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
On line five, Hold on one second.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yes, I've also never heard of this. Did you have
friends or colleagues that fed fed it to pets?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
No? Isn't that I wouldn't abusive, I would, well, I
don't think it's abusive.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I don't know that guy got a staff infection from
his He.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Cut his body open, he cut his back, and a
piece of the bogger wall went into the cut, into
the bloodstream. I've never heard of that, although I would bet,
I would bet that I have one colleague that did.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's not a current coworker, no former coworker. Do we
know them? You have not met them, but you know them,
And why do you think that they would be.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I just know. I just know some of the stuff
that he used to do.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh okay, well now I know who it is, do
you no?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Go ahead, Danny, yes, Danny Bonaducci.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
No, he wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I don't know. He wouldn't masturbate onto hardwood floor. So
he used an animal.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Okay, well, now you need to explain because that sounds
like it's bestiality.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
He was. He lived in a rental apartment with hardwood floors.
And this is when he was married to Gretchen, and
he was masturbating a lot, and he would masturbate onto
the hardwood floors and Gretchen got really mad. I'm sorry, Christian,
you go ahead and met the Gretchen got really mad
(20:26):
at him. But they also had a Great Dane, so
occasionally not a lot. And this isn't a proud moment
for Danny. I'm sure he would say, but he would
occasionally masturbate onto the dog.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
That is horrible.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is it worse than feeding them boogers?
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yes, Suddenly I don't feel so nauseous hearing about the
mucus meal. Okay, are we done? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
I know because Christen said I had to go to
line five.
Speaker 8 (20:54):
Hi Ellie in the morning, take a morning, guys.
Speaker 9 (20:57):
So I'm an elementary school teacher and I've seen a
lot of disgusting stuff, but I've definitely found booger chairs
booger desks.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Oh dude, I didn't even think of that. I just
sit in my chair and I wipe it on the like,
what is that like the tray table that I'm sitting at,
or if I'm sitting at like an actual table, I
wipe them right under there.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Oh dude, nasty right.
Speaker 9 (21:24):
But that's not even the worst. So there was this
one kid who I was going to his notebook to
check some work and I found, just to add the flavor,
an ear wax journal with chunks of earwax that were
both labeled with which ear came from, and then date
a journal.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now I believe, I believe I do wipe I have
a lot of ear wax, because I have a lot
of of ear wax the but I will wipe it
on the side of a chair.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I don't journal it, don't mark down like which year
that's weird?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, I know which year, which side of the chair
is that? I don't dig here, but I don't. But
I don't go right hand the left ear.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
I don't know what you do the.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
No, but I that I do. I get that. I
get that. Yeah, that makes sense. But by the way,
the the that's a good one. Like a teacher, that's
a good one.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
They probably see the worst of it.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Not as bad as the upholstery guy or Aaron m
Barlow's car.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
