Speaker 1 (01:07):
To to get tickets to go hang out.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Now, speaking of my wife, she's in New York right now.
She's been in New York for a few four or
five days. She's supposed to come home today, but the
Sweet sixteen March Madness U of a game is in
New Jersey and they're playing Duke tonight and she was
able to get one ticket, so she's staying so she
(01:30):
can go to the game.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So I don't understand, you know the geography of the map,
but you just know New York, New Jersey, wherever.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And she was in the Hampton's last night or something.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So this morning she had to take a faery, probably
like you've seen in the movies, you know when you
see those fairies in New York, right, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
I've only been her once. I never took a ferry.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So she texts me this morning and you guys know,
my wife is is very kind and mellow, right.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I mean, you have heard on the radio. You know
she's She's just a kind person. She's one of the
nicest people I've ever met.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
She goes, oh my god, I got to the ferry
forty five minutes early, and I didn't hear a call
for the departure. They were closing the gates and yelling
at me, all in their New York accents.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hut me up, lady, take one step after another after another.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
What do you need a hearing it? We called it.
We said we were out of here. She was. I
finally said, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
This is my first time on a ferry. Oh. She
wasn't sure what to expects, but I made it. She's
probably running, she also said the other day, because you know,
we we were in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago
for Spring Bregg and my son lives there, and Hawaii
got voted as the happiest state, the happiest.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Everything in New York isn't.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And she doesn't know that I have this information, right,
because you know, from doing the show, you get access
to information all on her own. Two days ago, she's like,
you know, what I noticed about New York. She was
there's just no joy. Oh that's what's going on in
(03:12):
her life. Now, let's get to lack of sleep.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Oh my gosh, I might be the king of lack
of sleep recently because of this show and then doing
an overnight show. So my sleep schedule is pretty whacked out,
and I've tried to I've tried to dial in everything
that I possibly can't when I eat, how much water
I drink, what supplements I take, all of these things,
because I feel like you have to be extra on
(03:36):
your game to do the kind of schedule that I've
adopted now by doing this show in the Houston Coast
to coast on a lot of those weekends. But I
think I've actually developed insomnia because it used to be
I'd fall asleep pretty easy, but I couldn't stay asleep
very long. Now I have both things working for me
to the point where I go to see my doctor
and he hands me these sleep supplements in the bottles
(03:57):
that take one before you go to bed, and my
doctor said, you probably need to take four. Wow, are
these things which I haven't done yet because I'm kind
of afraid to do that.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Do you know what they are.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's a supplement. It's not medicine. It's a supplement. I
assume there's magnesium and you know, whatever whatever makes you
go to sleep in it. I actually I'll bring it in.
I don't really know what's in it. But so I'm
talking to my wife Stacy about it, and she seems
to be one of those people that knows about drugs
and things. And I thought her solution was going to
(04:29):
be drug based, but it's actually insane based. What she
told me how you get to sleep? She's like, well,
you know, I used to have insomnia too when I
was a publisher for my own magazine, and I could
never get to sleep because I'm always thinking about deadlines
and this and that and what files are where. And
I've created this game that helps me get to sleep
that I used to this day. And she said, have
you ever heard of six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Like, yes,
(04:50):
of course, that's where you tie You get one actor
and you say, like, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Know, like you could pick up I don't know, within
six movies or less, she said.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But I got so good at that. Now you just
can think of any two actors and I can tie
them to any TV show and any movie, any two
actors at all. So I test her out and I
give her like a you know Brad Pitt and uh,
you know Regina King and she.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Goes boom bom boo boo boo boom.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
She's so fast with six within six. Yeah, in some
of them she's gotten, but she's gotten them in six
and the the loop around that is amazing. But I
don't know that I can do it. It's when I've
tried to do it. To get to sleep, It's taken
me forty five minutes, and I can't get to think
because now my head was already spinning about something else.
Now I'm really involved in the six degrees of two
(05:43):
actors and what happened last night? She says this to me.
I'm getting ready to go to sleep. She's like, I
love you so much. I'm so happy that we're married.
John Lithgow. She said, who did? She say? Uh? A
camp What's the girl from Friday Night Lights? Connie Britain,
Connie Brittin. She's like, let go Counnye Brittain. She's there.
(06:04):
Last night I couldn't get to sleep, So.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You've got to come up with movies that John Litt
gous in Connie Britton, and she would even got a
show Dexter and Friday.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh, you can't do TV show.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
You can't do TV shows. You just can't do SNL
because everybody's been on SNL. That's her only rule. No SNL, guys,
I gotta call shanigans. And I actually have already called
my copyright attorney. It sounds like Stacey just pitched celebrity
connection to that a while though we haven't. Yeah, because
people have been falling asleep during so anyway, my attorney
(06:35):
will be reaching out. She actually sabotaged my already difficult
sleeping pattern by keeping me waking. How am I gonna
tie John with God? Connie Brittain, I never got there,
by the way, you can try it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh, but I don't know Connie Britton movies. I know
I recognize her, She's in everything I know, but I can't.
She's one of those she's like a great character actress. Right,
she's not going to be the star star. She's not
an avenger. No, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
The avenger is actually a pretty good way to get
to people now too, right, because now there's a lot
of people in the bedroom movies. So I'm going to
suggest that you don't try that is your trick for
in some she's too smart.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean for me to go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I told you guys before, I just visualized the bowling
ball rolling in at.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The empty warehouse.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm gonna try that tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You're the camera behind the black bowling balls. It's rolling
through an empty warehouse. Do you just hear that noise
as it goes and then you fall asleep?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I thought about it.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
What it's terrible idea to get somebody who's a classic
overthinker something else to overthink about. So anyway, I did
sleep okay last night.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Eventually, I think it's interesting that you went to your
doctor that you're having that many sleeping problems.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, sleep is important.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
We talked about it all the time, and especially like
in our position when we wake up so early in
the morning and have to still function throughout the day
because everyone else in our lives don't follow that schedule.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
It was what it was not like about that I
was going for the blood test results and they're like, well,
your cortisol levels are blah. I'm like, well, that's because
I'm not sleeping. Much and what you got to do
that Like, that's a lot easier for people to go like, well,
I'm gonna go to bed ten and wake up at six.
You know, our alarm clocks go off or mine goes
off at three twenty five am.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But you so you are like kind of awake a
lot or yeah, because for me, like I would have
been at eight last night, and then I woke up
at ten and I was pissed.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I up with them, but I went right back to sleep,
and then I woke up at three.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Yeah, I don't go right back to sleep.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I wake up. I'm like, okay, what are we doing?
So here's what you gotta do? If I may? You may?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
You don't give me another no, no, because I've learned
all about the sleeping stuff. You have to you have
to make sure you have your last meal early.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I do. I usually eat around four? Oh you do? Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah, I don't eat late. Oh then you're screwed them
until you eat and then like and then walk.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I do that too.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I ate yesterday at like seven. Oh no, I'm sorry.
At six. Will you know what I did yesterday?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I was getting a I was talking to this guy
at the gym his name is Charlie, and he was
telling me for Swimmas. He brought up that he cooked
steaks in an air fryer. He said it was fantastic.
It was a piece of case. I'm having a problem
making steaks. I can't I can't cook them right and
they're just disasser on the grill or in the pan.
I just can't do it. So I thought I'd try
the air fryer. Turns out a we have an air fryer.
(09:07):
B Dutch knows how to work it. My son see,
we cooked two ribbis in the air fier. It was okay.
It wasn't fabulous, but I'm hungry. I want to eat
a steak. And it worked out okay. I had to
go YouTube and watch it and it was simple.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
You probably want to probably want to air fright and
then grill it on the like, put it on the
grill and get it, you know, get that seer.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh maybe I don't know, maybe that's the next level.
But for the first time doing it, I wash, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
And I put it on Instagram and I had a
lot of people going, I don't know, you can air
fry steak, and neither did I until yesterday.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
I'm impressed because last time I air fried a steak
it turned into like a dog chew toy.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, Dutch brought that up. The texture was a little
on the chewy side.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Was it in there too long?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I don't know. I don't know, I don't No, Dutch
put it in there. This is the whole. I don't
understand any of the numbers on the air fier.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
There's a whole bunch of numbers, and it's counting down,
but it's not counting down time.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
And one is the temperature usually.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh, is that what it is? There's just numbers usually,
and somebody numbers for me. You want me to go
to sleep, Give me an airfrag. Let me read the
numbers of the air frag.
Oh cool, your scanner stopped. It's John Jay and Rich.
