Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're disrupting your day with hot takes and bold opinions.
We're going to say what needs to be said, even
if no one asked. She is Rebecca Black, I am
Dan O'Malley, and this is unsolicited. If you've ever wondered
what happens to a radio personality with too much time
on her hands, you're about to get your answer. Rebecca,
(00:21):
you have recently had a wild revelation.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, I have ended Bertanley become a tread wife.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Full disclosure, You and I don't know each other all
that well yet, but I do know that you saying
that is massive because you, to me, are not a
traditional household wife.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I am not at all.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And it's crazy what happens when you're unemployed and you
don't have anything to do. You start doing things that
you wouldn't do in your regular life, if that makes
any sense, like cooking dinner and doing laundry and cleaning
the house.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm doing all of these things.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So you're going full fit's housewife then full well.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, maybe not full on in yet, like I'm not
wearing around like heels in a pretty dress and putting
on my makeup and stuff every day, but that might
happen next week.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
We don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It depends. If you don't get a job, he may
come home to you being dressed like June Cleaver.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Absolutely, but I mean I can't even tell you, like
I'm this close to like starting making dog treats, like
from scratch, oh no, dog treats. Yeah, I was up
the other day at like four am baking.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I feel like this might be a cry for help,
So just blink really hard a number of times if
it is to really just bring that point home. But yeah,
that's a far away to go from. Like, okay, in
between jobs, blah blah blah too. You know what I
want to do today? I want to make homemade dog.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Treats, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I have never been without a job, I think this
long in my entire life, and in fact, there have
been many times where I've had like two and three
jobs all at the same time because I get bored
very easily and need to be doing things at all times.
So when you don't have a job, start making things
up for yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So how did you start down this path of inadvertently
becoming a traad wife.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm not exactly sure. It's a slippery slope Dan, like.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I just woke up one day. I was like, oh
my god, I almost feel like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It started like I needed to start working out, if
that makes sense. I'm like, oh, you're really fat and
you're really lazy, like you need to get your together.
And so I was like, oh, like, okay, I'm gonna
make a point of getting up and going to work
out every single day. Well that sort of has evolved,
and now it is get up early, like at six thirty,
walk dogs, do some stuff on the computer, then go
(02:39):
work out, and then it's like come home and it's
like clean the house while the TV's on. And then oh,
next thing you know, I'm making dinner and baking cookies.
I made popovers from scratch last night.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh my god, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I don't even know what to do anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, so you're in a state of shock. What's just
like your husband right now?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He's loving it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I bet he is. I mean he came he came
home last night, the homemade popovers absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Bro saving the time of his life. Right now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He hasn't had to do laundry in weeks. I've probably
washed the sheets on our bed more times than the
last I don't know month that I have in our
whole marriage.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Okay, that's a whole other topic someday.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Truly it is, we're gross. I'm gross, but like, there's
no dirty laundry in the house. All of the dishes
are clean, the kitchen is clean. There's never there's never
a time where my house has just been clean. I again,
don't know why or how this happened, but like it's
(03:43):
all I can do right now.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And when you were employed, these are things that would
only happen occasionally or not at all.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
So for the longest time, I just wasn't doing my
husband's laundry like at all. Like I stopped because he's
real picky about it, and I'm like, I'm not even
gonna bother with that.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Uh are you that person?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I am also picky. If by picky you mean follow
the directions on the tag. You know, what's with you women?
To follow the directions. It's not a few times that
a man will read and follow the directions. You know,
it's on a little tag this big. We'll do that
so it doesn't ruin our clothes.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh my gosh, whatever, No, he like won't. He doesn't
want any of his shirts in the dryer either, like
a psychopath. And I'm like, then they're crunchy, like they
hang and dry and they feel crunchy to me. I
don't understand how you could not want the dryer.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He doesn't want them to shrink.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, no, that's exactly what it is. But I find
that annoying. And I again, haven't done his laundry in
a million years, and now all of a sudden, I'm
doing all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So what's going to happen? You're stunned, I mean I am,
but it's like, okay, so, uh my wife is already
like that. Now, I'm not saying traditional wife. She just
does stuff. She just does stuff. She's always been that way.
She's independent, she's self sufficient, she is a self starter.
She will just go start doing stuff, right.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So, like there's been times when we've moved, I would
go to work, come home, everything's unpacked in its place
already in a matter of hours. I mean, it's a
glorious thing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I've lived in this house for five years and I
can tell you right now there's absolutely boxes that have
not been unpacked since we moved in.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
From the other room, I can hear my wife's skin crawling?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Like I am not that person. I don't do things
around the house. It's not me. It never has been me.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Like even in high school, I remember if I waited
long enough, like with my dirty room, my dad would
at some point get annoyed and come and clean it.
Oh wow, okay, yeah, like I would just wait it out.
But now I'm in a place where I am just
so utterly completely worn. Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Another thing I did. I trim the bushes out front
in one hundred and ten degree weather.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Wow? Is that something that you had ever done before?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Never? Never my life, I have literally never trimmed a bush.
That sounded weird.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Talk about unsolicited, right, nobody will, and that is definitely
something no one asked for right.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
There, But now we all know it, and you know,
you know who's really happy?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Your husband should have said an outdoor bush. Never trimmed
an outdoor.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't think you should trim it outdoors either, Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
This went off the rails very.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Quickly, It really did. It happened really fast. I will
say this, if your husband comes home and he sees
you outside trimming the bush, and that may be the
absolute rock bottom time time to get help type scenario.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I do feel like that's when I get committed.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Okay, so you've you've taken to going to the gym
as a new hobby. Are there any other hobbies besides
cleaning that you've picked up on, because going to the
gym is a good one, if because anytime you're between jobs,
especially if there if it's been for any amount of right, Yeah,
it's about filling that time and trying to feel productive
(07:04):
in some way.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Even yes, even if.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's small, doesn't matter. Just waking up and say, you
know what, by the end of the day, Oh my god,
I accomplished something. So going to the gym is a
great one. But I mean, unless you're trying to go
bodybuilder status, you're in and out of the gym in
about an hour, so you still got a bunch of
other time to fill the day. Are there any other
hobbies that you've done, tried, or are considering.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I need a new hobby to keep myself entertained and
busy other than like, I really would love to do
some Halloween decoration crafting, but.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's gonna have to be on the cheap because I'm unemployed.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Are you a crafty person I am.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I do love crafting, Okay, okay, so that could be
an avenue for me.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But other than that, I've started like twelve podcasts. This
one included all.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Right, this show excluded you need to slow down.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's what's wild, is like I've people when they ask
me about, you know, how's the job hunt going and
all that kind of stuff, and I'm like, I have
I feel like I've never been busier. I'm the busiest
unemployed person on the planet.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's That's how you know you had it good when
you had the job, especially if we're being honest, because
you and I as radio people. When you've got a
good gig in radio, you know it. You knew when
you had it. I knew I had a good one
and have had a few. You've had a few, so
you know in the moment that you've got a good one.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And if we're being honest, sometimes those jobs don't take
all day, correct, but they can pay well absolutely so
when you don't have it anymore, that's a big adjustment.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, And I'm like, you know what I feel like,
And I probably shouldn't actually admit this, Like being a
trad wife on some level would be nice if I
were rich, yeah, right, Like, but if you're poor and
a trad wife is not fine?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, because your husband's in education and right, I mean
unless he's the head of a private charter school.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I need I need money so I can at
least clean in my house and then go get drinks
later on this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's a different level of productive.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Absolutely, it's it's fantastic. It sounds phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But I'm like, I guess people should maybe be worried
if I start thinking about having kids or something, because
then that.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Might Yeah, that's that's definitely a step up from crafting.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
God, can you imagine? Kids? Is my hobby?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh? Good?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now, Also, I'm too old. I think it's impossible to
have kids at this point. I might adopt a few.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
There you go, there are ways to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I could foster. No, what am I saying? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You could you that? There it is? That's the problem. No, No,
The worst I have had it w was I came
home and my wife found a cat. If your husband
comes home and you found a kid, that's a whole
new level.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think we might be divorced if that happens.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Now, let's jump on Reddit for our unsolicited Reddit story
of the week. Rebecca, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I am?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This is our very first Am I the a Hole here? Unsolicited?
And this one was so good Reddit actually deleted the
original posts. I know this is so bad because as
I'm going through a bunch of these in preparation for
today's show, the like it's like, Okay, that was okay,
this one's okay, this one's kind of mad. And then
this one popped up and I was like, that's the one.
(10:43):
That's the one we're going to do. Am I the
a hole for telling my husband his face smells like
a baby's butt?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Okay? Interesting? Is that a compliment or a negative?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Oh? It's definitely a negative from.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
This kyuh cause babies smell good.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not to her? Okay, it appears so. Am I the
ahle for telling my husband his face smells like a
baby's butt. I'm twenty five female, he thirty male. Okay,
So she says, my husband has been using a shaving
foam for quite a while that seems to not agree
(11:21):
with his skin. pH while shaving, it smells normal. I
guess after it's done shaving, the scent shifts somehow.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It goes sour.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I bet that's what it sounds like. The other part
I was able to piece together is she says somehow
it smells a bit like the bottom of a baby
base notes of baby cream and top notes of discomfort
of my gag weirdly lacktonic as well. Oh so that's
(11:53):
all the information I was able to pull out of
the post after it got deleted. But I feel like
we have enough to go on here.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Question really quick, because I'm not that smart. Lactonic? Is
that what I think it means? Uh? Huh?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
If if you mean like milky.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, okay, like lactation tasty, yeah, okay, Because I do
know that smell. I know that sounds weird. I've never
had a baby, but I do know that smell. I've
got plenty of nieces and nephews, and when they get
like the milk down their face and if you don't
get it all rubbed off, it has a very gross,
sour smell.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Is that more information than you wanted?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's very descriptive, and I appreciate descriptive.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I am just trying to give people, the people what
they want a picture of what might be going on
with this man's face.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, not only did you paint it, but you painted
it in scratch and sniff form. So thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
So what I'm here for?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So do you think she's the ahole for telling her
husband that his face smells like a baby.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But hard, No, I feel like people should know if
they stink. Wouldn't you want to know if you if
your face smelled gross?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yes, I also want to know when there's stuff in
my teeth.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yes, anything that's anything, that's if I have something poking, sticking, yeah, protruding.
Tell me if I'm stinking, smelling whatever, tell me, please
God tell me.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yes, I do want to be the one walking around
like pig Pin from Charlie Brown.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right, I'll be a little embarrassed, but I'd rather be
a little embarrassed on the front end of you telling me, correct,
I've got baby spinach sticking out of my baby butt face,
then finding out later that I went through the entire
day with that, Yeah, because now you'd be the ahole
for not having told me.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I agree completely. Why do people not get that? I
think you're being a kinder, better friend, girlfriend, whatever, spouse
by telling your significant other that, like, hey, this is
just a little slightly off. You don't have to mean about.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It right quick aside, I still remember in seventh grade.
Seventh grade, so we're talking height of puberty, right, Yeah.
I still remember seventh grade walking into the cafeteria before
school or everyone congregated and having a buddy of mine
look at me and point to my face and say, hey, Dan,
you've got a huge ZiT right there. I still remember that.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Josh, Yeah, oh, Josh.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
While being embarrassed, I do actually kind of appreciate it
because I was able to go to the bathroom and
deal with it, so at least it wasn't as glaring
the rest of the day. So yeah, I was embarrassed,
but at least he told me his delivery could have
been better. But it is what it is. Yeah, back
to this. Am I the a hole for telling my
husband his face smells like a baby's butt? What do
(14:43):
you think the consensus was by the people on Reddit?
Do you think they think she was an a hole
or not the a hole? Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
This is Reddit, so I think everybody probably thought she
was a horrible person.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Wow, that is correct. Everyone said she's the a hole
in this. No, she's not the nos She's doing. She's
doing the right thing, the hard thing, but the right thing.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm curious as to what some of the comments were
to her, like why, like, why do you think that
that is an a whole thing to say to your
significant other at that.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Mm hm why?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
One person acrobatic Hippo says most people would not be
thrilled to learn they've been walking around smelling like baby
ass for quite a while and their spouse not telling them. So, yes,
y ta, you're the a hole if he smells unpleasant
due to what product, and you didn't bother letting him know.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Okay, but that's what she's doing, she's letting.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Him know, right, So that one's kind of an odd one. Uh.
Real Toledo says, you're the a hole? Why were you
so afraid to say something? I guess I guess what
they're saying is she waited too long to say something.
Oh okay, So maybe that's maybe that's part of the
chunk that we're missing that has people saying she's the
(15:59):
a hole, is that she didn't tell him soon enough.
Maybe that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So now I'm curious, like, what do you think the
over under is on? How long is too long before
you tell somebody.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Look your husband and wife as soon as he as
soon as he shaves, yeah, and whatever the pH balance
that's off comes into play and his face sours as
soon as you notice it, you need to say.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Something agreed, agreed completely. And I honestly don't think that
there would be any waiting period for me, because things
will just come out of my mouth without my permission,
and I think as soon as I smelt it, I
would be like, broth, is something's off here?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah. See that's where you and my wife are very similar.
You have no problem saying exactly what you're thinking in
the moment. And so there was a body wash that
I had bought from Bath and Bodyworks a while back,
and because we bought it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
On there, you know what the Bath and Body Works, Oh, it.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is my wife's account. She had like the two for
one stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
So yeah, that's cute though.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But since we didn't go to the store to do
the smell test on these things, I experimented with a
couple of new scents and one of them did not
agree with my wife, and she did not hesitate to
tell me I had just gotten out of the shower.
She walks into the bathroom as I'm toweling off, and
she's like ooh, she's making like heaving over her and
(17:22):
then she's covering her face like she just walked into
some sort of mysterious cloud. Yeah, and she's like, what
does it smell? It smells like rubbing alcohol. That is awful.
What's going on? My nose is burning? I just took
a shower. How do how I could possibly smell bad?
And she's like, well, what did you use? Like, I
used one of the new scents you bought. Yeah, it's
called after Dark.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oo ooh that no, anything called after dark you should
never buy. I can tell you that right away.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Like I'll tell you right now most of the names
for the things that men had to choose from at
Bath and Body where she is not good, Like, it
just sounds like a bad classified ad.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I literally, yeah, Oh, there's nothing good can come from
after Dark.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It sounds like a really bad headline on a Craigslist
misconnection post.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Or like the ex brand cologne at an off brand store, like.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
At instead of Bath and Body works, it's bath and
Body kind of works. And the scent is not quite
after dark, right, but yeah, whatever was in this scent
did not agree with her whatsoever. And no, she did
not hesitate to let me know she's like rubbing alcohol.
Get that out of here. I ended up having to
throw the damn thing away.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Okay, but another caveat to this, would you be able
to tell her equally as quickly. It's always different. I
feel like guys are a little slower to tell.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, I'm kinder about it. I'll try to soft sell
it a little bit, but I will say I will
say I will tell her if something really is off putting,
because I try to. I try to approach every relationship
in my life, whether it's my wife with you, Golden
rule style. Absolutely, if I smell, I want you to
(19:08):
tell me. If you smell, I will tell you, but
I'll try to deliver it politely. I'm not going to
double over and dry heave in the bathroom the way
my wife did. I'll be like, I love you, but
this scent and you don't go well together.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Oh, I love you.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It's not you, it's it's me. Meanwhile, I walk out
of the shower. Boo, you smell awful. You're a biohazard.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Again. I don't think we can help it.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I think it's just one of those things where it's
like that instant gross and you have to know the
how awful it is and to get it off of
you immediately.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's exactly what it is. And you I now know
that if she's not around and I put something on
that smells bad, I know that you will tell me.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I will totally.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
If you have a booger in your nose, I got you.
If you've got food in your teeth, I got you.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Just you're not gonna pick it for me, right like
if I'm trying to find it, You're just You're just
gonna give really good directions on where it is.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, I can do the right, left, I can do
all of that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, all right, So this is good. We're getting to
know one another and now we know the line is
you will not pick my nose. Correct, You're welcome, and
since I followed the Golden rule.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You would do the same.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You would do the same and also not pick my bondy. Well,
I don't know if I've ever had a more unsolicited
conversation that I've had Right now, we'll be back with more, Rebecca,
I have a confession to make. Oh, and this is
the first time I've ever told anybody this.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Okay, Oh god, am I in trouble?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, No, you're not in trouble.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Just checking, just checking.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
My confession is I like it when my wife is sick.
Let me clarify.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on on. Before
you get into your story. If this is going in
the direction which I think it is going, I'm already
annoyed by you.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, it's gonna be good then, because I'm willing to
bet it's gonna go the place that you think it is.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I think it is. I'm predicting right now, so go ahead.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I like it when my wife is sick. I don't
like that my wife is sick. I want that very clear.
I don't like I don't like her to be sick.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
But yeah, there is a difference.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I just like that when she's sick and she's sleeping
and recovering, I can watch whatever I want.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh yeah, okay, I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Okay, what did you think I was gonna say?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I thought you were gonna be like so that I
can wait on her hand and foot and nurture her
and be the best husband ever. And I was gonna
be like, gross, Thank god, you're normal.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I will dote on her the proper amount I have.
I have empathy for her, I sympathize for her plight.
I will get her in anything she needs. I will
offer to get her anything she needs if I need
to go if she if she needs a specific thing
and I have to drive thirty minutes to go get it,
I'll happily go do that so you feel better, Okay,
But I am not going to baby stroke your face
(22:13):
and your hair like you kind of I'm not.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Doing that, Okay, good.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I will be I'm sure there's a better word for it,
and I can't think of it at the moment, but
I will be helpful but not smothering love it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Okay, thank you, Lord, baby Jesus. Because I legit thought
you were gonna come in here and be like, look
at me, I'm such a hero, I'm such a good husband,
and I was just gonna murder.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You for that.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, keep in mind, I started out the segment saying,
I like it when my wife is sick.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I know that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I thought you were getting ready to like build yourself
up as this amazing husband, and I was gonna just
have to knock you down a peg.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yo, definitely not. I like it when my wife is
sick because I can go in the other room watch
a stupid action movie. I can play a video game
and not get any side eye for it. It's it's
a thing of beauty. I'll pause it and I'll go
get her some cough medicine or something. But I then
can go back and while she takes her night quill nap,
I can enjoy my Call of Duty war Zone, or
(23:11):
I can or I can rewatch the new Superman movie.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So is that what you've been doing this week?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yes, it's been good, Like it's been amazing, the best
week ever. I get to watch whoever I want. And
the weird thing about that is usually when I watch
the things I want, I do it at the gym
because I'm a movie guy. She has favorite actors, like
she loves Julia Roberts, and she has movies that she likes.
But there's a difference between liking some movies and being
(23:40):
a movie person.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Agreed, I'm a movie are yeah, I'm a movie yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So I'll watch things that she has absolutely no interest in,
and in order for me to do that, I usually
just do it at the gym. And it's on my phone.
So when she's sick, if she's in the bedroom and
she's taken a night cuil nap, then I can be
in the living room on the big screen enjoy something
like a normal person.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I will say, you're very polite about about your TV watching,
that you'll take it to the gym in order to
like not bother her with that or whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, I mean, I know she doesn't have any interest
in watch and watching Extraction two with Chris Hymnsworth. She
didn't have any interest in Extraction one, so I didn't
bother her with either.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I didn't know they made a second one.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh yes, and I watched both at the gym, of course.
But well, when we're together, we'll watch things together, things
that we both enjoy, and then usually by the time
that's over, it's time for bed because we're old and
we're tired.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, no, no, no, I was like this, you're just
proving me that my husband and I have been married
for far too long, because We're at a point where
it's like he'll be watching football and I'm like, I
don't want to watch.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That, and I just leave.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I just go in the other room and watch all
my murder shows, and that's good.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I think that's healthy. I think that's help.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
No, we're not spending any time together.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Here's the thing. Would you rather both go your separate
ways to watch something that you each want to watch
for a couple of hours or would you rather make
him watch your murder thing and him resent you for it?
Or would you rather him make you watch a football
game and you resent him for it. I'll choose not
resentment every single time.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh, I like suffrage. So I would love for him
to sit with me for two hours watching some murder
shows because that's love. That's proving your love to me.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, you send that to my wife, because I feel
like I do, like I know way too much about
the Idaho college student murders than I need to know.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yes, Oh that's a good one to get to know.
Like I'm all in on that one. And he's having
a bad time in prison and I'm fine with that,
of course.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I'm good with that.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah. Same, who knew.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Bushy eyebrows made good handlebars? So yeah, So I like
it when my wife is sick because I can then
watch whatever I want on the big screen TV and
she's not subjected to it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I will say that is a perk, but for women
it's completely the opposite. We hate it when our husbands
are sick because y'all are annoying and.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Big old babies.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Is that your husband?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, And it's funny that you mentioned this because my
husband is currently sick.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
He's been sick for like.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Four days, and rather than go to a doctor and
get like medication, he's decided to.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Wallow in it in front of me for the last
four days. And I hate it. I don't care. I'm like,
I'm sorry that you're sick. Go to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I don't need to nag.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Then stop complaining.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is he whining about it?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's not even it's not even like a vocal whine.
It's like a whole body sad sack happening on the couch.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Oh? No, so he's he's like adult pouting.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yes, It's like he.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Comes home, grunts a word to me, and then like
sits on the couch posted up, watching who knows what,
and it's just like, all.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I don't feel good.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's a pity party.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It is. It's a pity party, and I'm so annoyed
by it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, so I think I'm the odd bald in that scenario.
I usually only get sick about once a year, and
when I do, it's usually the same thing. I know
what I need to get through it, and I don't
go to the doctor because I know there's over the
counter stuff I can get and I don't need to
go spend a copey or whatever on the doctor. I
(27:21):
know what I need to do. If it's bad, I
will go to the doctor. And when I get to
the doctor, I will word vomit every symptom and thought
I've had about it, because if I'm there and I'm
paying for it, I'm not gonna mess around and tippy toad.
It's like, here's my problem.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, no, my husband will not do that. And I'm like,
you're a teacher. You're surrounded by kids with super germs.
We don't have kids, we don't have that immune system
that's all built up and such. So I'm like, whatever
they have, they're gonna take you out. You should know
this by now. He's literally been a teacher for twenty years, Like, come.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
On, he should do what my eighth grade science teacher did. Large,
large man, very bright, possibly brilliant. He carried around a
yard stick.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Not only did he use it to slap people's desks
so they'd wake up, but he would use it as
an extender, like if someone was sick, he would poke
them and push them away from him. Oh my guard
away his arm extended with the yardstick. So now you're
talking about a good you know, yeah yard and a
half yeah, with him saying talk to me from over there,
(28:26):
and he would just push them with the yardstick. That's
what your your husband should do.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I love that so much, Like I think I'm going
to do that tonight to him.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You can make it because you're crafty. Now I can.
I've got time, because all it takes. And he did this,
My eighth grade teacher did this. He would get some
athletic tape and he would tape a handle around the
yard stick. So obviously he didn't rub off any of
the wood.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I could.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I could just like grab the plastic silverware out of
the pantry here and just tape it all together and
make myself a poker stick.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I wait to see your husband on the news.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
It will happen, promises.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
We are back to unsolicited. She's Rebecca Black. I'm Daniel Maley.
We're new to you, but we're also new to each other.
Rebecca and I have only actually met in person one time,
I know, right, yeah, but we've been aware of each
other for a long time. We've spoken on social media
and things. We're able to sort of build this sort
of camaraderie to a point to where you're like, you
(29:27):
know what, let's do a show together. So here we are.
But because of that, yeah, we're still new to one another.
We're still getting to know each other along with you
getting to know us. So I thought, what better way
to get to know everybody, for you to know us,
and us to know each other than play one of
my favorite games, Would you Rather?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I love? Would you Rather? So?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Full disclosure, Rebecca. Eventually we'll play this game, and I'll
make it real weird, real fast.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
The weirder the better. I do not love surface level questions.
I like to get into the weird stuff, and then
I want you to explain answers.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Perfect. Well, today we're gonna kind of start surface and
then we'll dig a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I guarantee you there is nothing surface about this conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Okay, Well, we're about to find.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
It regardless of the questions.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
All right, so here we go unsolicited. Would you rather, Rebecca?
Would you rather have coffee or tea? Every morning?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Coffee? Coffee, coffee, coffee?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Would you ready?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
People can go away to me.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Ted Lasso said it best when he said tea is
just garbage water it It truly.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Is like And don't get me wrong, I'm from Texas.
It's hot here.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I like a good, sweet iced tea, but I will
go with a hot coffee all day.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yes, coffee is my jam.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
It's my ritual wal.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And it's also a ritual for me. And my thing
with coffee is I just even if I don't drink it,
I just love the smell.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh right, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You want to hear a funny thing. My dad has
never drink coffee in his whole life.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Ever. He hates the smell all of it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
That's so weird.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I know. I'm like, can you just try it the
one time?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, I have. My buddy Raj has never had coffee.
But I don't think he I don't think he dislikes
the smell of it. He just never had it.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
But like, why I need to know why people have
not had coffee.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They're literally a Starbucks or a La La Land on
every single corner.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Why would you not partake.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
A lot of people that drink coffee nowadays really aren't
drinking coffee. It's basically just a bunch of milk and
sugar with a dash of coffee.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I mean, yes, that's how I started, That's what got
me hooked. My granddad was like, I'll let you have
coffee when I was four, and it was like milk,
water and some sugar and a tiny bit of coffee.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, it turns out frappuccinos or just gateways.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
To coffee, that's for real.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Would you rather always be ten minutes early or ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Late neither, I'm all I am. I am habitually late,
and it's not on purpose.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I have the time.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm blind this thing, so I guess early. I'd like
to be early for once in my whole life.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You what about you?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I am definitely team early because I had a feeling. Yeah,
I'm a punctual guy. I can't stand it if I'm
a minute late. I'm not so hard up to say
if I'm on time, I'm five minutes late. I'm not
that weird, but I would definitely rather be early than
a second late.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Like I have this again, I'm perpetually late, and in
order to combat that, I have to be like, really
aggressively early. And so nine times out of ten, when
I'm trying to be somewhere, let's say at nine am,
I will be there at eight thirty because I'm progressively late,
and then I have to sit in my car for
thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Progressively. You're like a jackpot.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I've again, never been early a day in my life.
I'm so bad at it.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Would you rather spend a day at the beach or
a day in the mountains?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Beach all day? Give me some sun? What about you beach?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Would you live?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
You literally live on the beach?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Okay, so I'm a gray man?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
That means that honestly, my wife. When I told my
wife that you and I were going to do a
show centered around hot takes and bold opinions and it
was going to be called unsolicited, she looked at me.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Like, you because you don't have opinions to give.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I do. But I always ask clarifying questions, like I
want more information before I just necessarily just give, you know,
just whatever out the talk of my head. I need
context for lots of things. Right, coffee tea, that's easy,
I can do that. Sure. To give you an example,
would I choose beach? Yes, that being said, where I
(33:45):
live Saint Thomas, US, Virgin Islands, we're actually on a mountain,
but it's over the beach. We are seven hundred feet
above sea level, which doesn't sound that high, but we
are a three minute drive to the waterfront.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
So like the best best of both worlds.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It kind of is. We get the height and the views,
but we're it's beach. Ultimately, it's beach, but it's the
islands here. If you've ever seen photos of Saint Lucia
with the really sharp peaks, it's like a it's like that,
just a little not quite as sharp. It looks like
little mountains poking out of the ocean. Okay, I'm not
mad at that, So that's where my answer could be
(34:25):
kind of gray. But ultimately, yeah, give me a beach. Okay.
Next one, would you rather explore space or the deep ocean?
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Space? Hands down? Space.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
The ocean is a scary, scary place. There's critters down
there that we don't know, We've never like met them.
I don't want to encounter some sort of weird critter like.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Ocean critters, know, space critters.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Okay, yes, yeah, what about you?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, I gotta love of I gotta love of space
for my dad.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
So yeah, give me, gimme easy answer. And I don't know.
I just also feel like we have a better track
record with space.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Once we get there. Yeah, but don't tell that to
the guys from Apollo one.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Well, you know, we gotta make sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
What did I say, I have one? Or Gemini? Well,
you know the one that the fire and the cap.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Would you rather have this? One's interesting? Would you rather
have free flights for life or free restaurant meals for life?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
God, that's a hard one.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I like both of those a lot because I love food.
Food is delicious and I eat literally all the time.
But I think I'm gonna go with flights because then
I could just go eat in Italy whenever I want.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, I too would take the flights because the flights
are more expensive.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Uh that's a great point. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, I'm just approaching that from a pure financial angle.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
But also then aren't in there a party.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
That's like, I bet I could eat my way through
a lot of free food.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Oh I know I can.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
It would be like you're on the all inclusive vacation
all the time, dude out ahead on those Yeah who doesn't.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, well, I've seen people that don't like, why are
you at an all inclusive? It's a waste on you go?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Can I just sorry?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Side note here, I always have to interject a little
story or whatever. But when we go on the all
inclusive vacations, people like will stare at us because, oh,
our waiters also are like, are you sure you want
that many meals? We will order like three meals apiece
and then just move it all around the table with
friends and we eat all of it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That's good. I like it.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, every time, five desserts.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Every time I've done an all inclusive or just gone
to just Ponchos or Golden Corral. Yeah, I will come
out ahead.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Name like beffet does not want to see me coming.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Uh. Do you remember the comedian John Pinnett, really heavyset guy.
He was the one that it wasn't very it's not
PC by today's standards, but when he did the jokes
back then, it was he's like he goes to the
Asian buffet, and because he's a very large man, they're
the ones that tell him, you go away, you've been
here four hour. Yeah, they don't want him coming because
(37:24):
he he wins, he breaks the bank, same way anytime
I've gone, and all inclusive, it's like, it's not just
a vacation, it's a mission. Correct. If I spent two
grand on this trip, mm hmm, I will get four.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Out of it, absolutely as you should, though, I'm like,
that is what it is designed for.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
All right, let's jump to some other would you rather?
Would you rather always talk in rhyme or always sing
instead of speak?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh, I'm a singer. I make up songs at home
all the time. That's my ADHD brain in a noise
of crap out of my husband. But get me the
singing all the time. I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Rhyme, Go yeah, rhyme. And here's why, keeping in mind
that I grew up in a very musical family, right, Okay,
But I saw the movie The Marvels and they went
to a whole planet where they only communicate by singing,
and it was really annoying, and that was for only
like twenty minutes in a movie, so I couldn't do
it for life.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I'll do the right men, like, I know it's annoying,
but I can't stop. I just I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I think my husband's used to it at this point,
because we've been married for a really long time. And
I asked him the other day, it's funny you mentioned this.
I was like, I go, do you just not hear
it anymore? And he was like, I really don't.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
It's a special talent that some of us men have.
We don't all have it, but those of us that
do know it exactly and we appreciate it. Yeah, I
too can.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Two certain things out must be nice.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Would you rather have spaghetti for hair or maple syrup
for sweat?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Oh, spaghetti for hair. We would maple syrup sweat.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
At least I wouldn't look weird to other people.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Do you do you understand what it would feel like
to be like on a treadmill and then your armpits
are just sticking to yourself because of the maple syrup
thickness sweat.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Well, at least I wouldn't be the stinky guy at.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
The jim, No, I think you would be stinky.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, I mean, I'll just smell like pancakes and stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Right, which can get annoying after a while.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
It can. But if I have spaghetti for hair, I
try I try to limit the amount of pasta I eat.
I don't think I could live with it just dangling
next to me.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Whipping it around. Absolutely, I would.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Just sace flinging. Would you rather be able to teleport
but only the places you've been? Or fly but only
as fast as you can walk?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Teleport? Yeah, I'm I'm lazy.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
When I was younger, and when I was younger, it
was all about I want to fly or I want
to be like Superman and have superhuman strength. As an adult,
that's like teleportet teleport all day.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Yep, yep, I've been on enough long flights that a
teleport situation would be fantastical. Also, like, I'm old and
I'm kind of scared of flying. Does that make sense? No?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
It does? Airplane give me your logic? So you're old.
So you just said you're old and you're kind of
afraid of flying. What's your logic?
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Like, I'm a like I assume when the people will
ask you if you want to have the ability to fly,
that means you're like Superman, right and you're out in
the elements flying around.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Okay, I don't know why, but that's terrifying now. It
was cool when I was a kid. Now that I'm old,
I'm like, oh, it's so dangerous, Like there could be
lightning and I'm a flying around.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
No thanks, Maybe just stay at a reasonable altitude, or
just don't fly during bad weather.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
But then, like, what if it's hot and you're flying
in the heat.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
It gets you a moisture wicking cape.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
No, that's no good.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
When I can just push a button and teleport somewhere,
that's so much safer.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
That makes sense. Would you rather hit There's a lot
in the brain, Yeah, there is the was a lot
going on in for sure. M Would you rather hiccup
non stop for a day or sneeze non stop for
an hour?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I already have the hiccup problem, so I'm going to
go with sneezing. Also, I think sneezing is the greatest
feeling in the world.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Oh I hate sneezing. What I hate it?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
You're you're not doing it right?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh no, I'm doing it right.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
So you want to be a hiccupper.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
No, I don't. I might hate hiccups worse. I hate
both just about equally because I'm no longer in control
of my body. I don't like not being in control
of my person. And the way I sneeze it is big,
it is loud, it is violent.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
That's the only way to sneeze. That means you are
doing it right. And I know it's annoying to other people,
but it feels so good.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I would rather. Yeah, I would rather sneeze non
stop for an hour than hiccup non stop for a day.
I'll take the sneezes.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yet, I'm I'm yeah, I'm a hic I will hiccup
all day to anyway.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
And it's the most annoying thing.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
It's happened to me on the air before, and it's
like there's nothing I can do where I take a
senate senten sentence and go.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
And they're loud too.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Mine are loud and obnoxious. It's embarrassing on you know.
I know I'm already loud and obnoxious, so why would
my hiccups not be?
Speaker 1 (42:53):
That makes me super excited for the next episode of
Unsolicited with Rebecca Black and Me dan O, Maley Wee.
We'll see you next time.
We're disrupting your day with hot takes and bold opinions.
We're going to say what needs to be said, even
if no one asked. She is Rebecca Black, I am
Dan O'Malley, and this is unsolicited. If you've ever wondered
what happens to a radio personality with too much time
on her hands, you're about to get your answer. Rebecca,
(00:21):
you have recently had a wild revelation.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, I have ended Bertanley become a tread wife.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Full disclosure, You and I don't know each other all
that well yet, but I do know that you saying
that is massive because you, to me, are not a
traditional household wife.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I am not at all.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And it's crazy what happens when you're unemployed and you
don't have anything to do. You start doing things that
you wouldn't do in your regular life, if that makes
any sense, like cooking dinner and doing laundry and cleaning
the house.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I'm doing all of these things.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So you're going full fit's housewife then full well.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Okay, maybe not full on in yet, like I'm not
wearing around like heels in a pretty dress and putting
on my makeup and stuff every day, but that might
happen next week.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
We don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It depends. If you don't get a job, he may
come home to you being dressed like June Cleaver.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Absolutely, but I mean I can't even tell you, like
I'm this close to like starting making dog treats, like
from scratch, oh no, dog treats. Yeah, I was up
the other day at like four am baking.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I feel like this might be a cry for help,
So just blink really hard a number of times if
it is to really just bring that point home. But yeah,
that's a far away to go from. Like, okay, in
between jobs, blah blah blah too. You know what I
want to do today? I want to make homemade dog.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Treats, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I have never been without a job, I think this
long in my entire life, and in fact, there have
been many times where I've had like two and three
jobs all at the same time because I get bored
very easily and need to be doing things at all times.
So when you don't have a job, start making things
up for yourself.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So how did you start down this path of inadvertently
becoming a traad wife.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I'm not exactly sure. It's a slippery slope Dan, like.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I just woke up one day. I was like, oh
my god, I almost feel like.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It started like I needed to start working out, if
that makes sense. I'm like, oh, you're really fat and
you're really lazy, like you need to get your together.
And so I was like, oh, like, okay, I'm gonna
make a point of getting up and going to work
out every single day. Well that sort of has evolved,
and now it is get up early, like at six thirty,
walk dogs, do some stuff on the computer, then go
(02:39):
work out, and then it's like come home and it's
like clean the house while the TV's on. And then oh,
next thing you know, I'm making dinner and baking cookies.
I made popovers from scratch last night.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh my god, I don't.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I don't even know what to do anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, so you're in a state of shock. What's just
like your husband right now?
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He's loving it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I bet he is. I mean he came he came
home last night, the homemade popovers absolutely.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Bro saving the time of his life. Right now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He hasn't had to do laundry in weeks. I've probably
washed the sheets on our bed more times than the
last I don't know month that I have in our
whole marriage.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Okay, that's a whole other topic someday.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Truly it is, we're gross. I'm gross, but like, there's
no dirty laundry in the house. All of the dishes
are clean, the kitchen is clean. There's never there's never
a time where my house has just been clean. I again,
don't know why or how this happened, but like it's
(03:43):
all I can do right now.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
And when you were employed, these are things that would
only happen occasionally or not at all.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
So for the longest time, I just wasn't doing my
husband's laundry like at all. Like I stopped because he's
real picky about it, and I'm like, I'm not even
gonna bother with that.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Uh are you that person?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I am also picky. If by picky you mean follow
the directions on the tag. You know, what's with you women?
To follow the directions. It's not a few times that
a man will read and follow the directions. You know,
it's on a little tag this big. We'll do that
so it doesn't ruin our clothes.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh my gosh, whatever, No, he like won't. He doesn't
want any of his shirts in the dryer either, like
a psychopath. And I'm like, then they're crunchy, like they
hang and dry and they feel crunchy to me. I
don't understand how you could not want the dryer.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He doesn't want them to shrink.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, no, that's exactly what it is. But I find
that annoying. And I again, haven't done his laundry in
a million years, and now all of a sudden, I'm
doing all of it.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So what's going to happen? You're stunned, I mean I am,
but it's like, okay, so, uh my wife is already
like that. Now, I'm not saying traditional wife. She just
does stuff. She just does stuff. She's always been that way.
She's independent, she's self sufficient, she is a self starter.
She will just go start doing stuff, right.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
So, like there's been times when we've moved, I would
go to work, come home, everything's unpacked in its place
already in a matter of hours. I mean, it's a
glorious thing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
I've lived in this house for five years and I
can tell you right now there's absolutely boxes that have
not been unpacked since we moved in.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
From the other room, I can hear my wife's skin crawling?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Like I am not that person. I don't do things
around the house. It's not me. It never has been me.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Like even in high school, I remember if I waited
long enough, like with my dirty room, my dad would
at some point get annoyed and come and clean it.
Oh wow, okay, yeah, like I would just wait it out.
But now I'm in a place where I am just
so utterly completely worn. Oh.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Another thing I did. I trim the bushes out front
in one hundred and ten degree weather.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Wow? Is that something that you had ever done before?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Never? Never my life, I have literally never trimmed a bush.
That sounded weird.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Talk about unsolicited, right, nobody will, and that is definitely
something no one asked for right.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
There, But now we all know it, and you know,
you know who's really happy?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Your husband should have said an outdoor bush. Never trimmed
an outdoor.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't think you should trim it outdoors either, Rebecca.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
This went off the rails very.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Quickly, It really did. It happened really fast. I will
say this, if your husband comes home and he sees
you outside trimming the bush, and that may be the
absolute rock bottom time time to get help type scenario.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
I do feel like that's when I get committed.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Okay, so you've you've taken to going to the gym
as a new hobby. Are there any other hobbies besides
cleaning that you've picked up on, because going to the
gym is a good one, if because anytime you're between jobs,
especially if there if it's been for any amount of right, Yeah,
it's about filling that time and trying to feel productive
(07:04):
in some way.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Even yes, even if.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's small, doesn't matter. Just waking up and say, you
know what, by the end of the day, Oh my god,
I accomplished something. So going to the gym is a
great one. But I mean, unless you're trying to go
bodybuilder status, you're in and out of the gym in
about an hour, so you still got a bunch of
other time to fill the day. Are there any other
hobbies that you've done, tried, or are considering.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I need a new hobby to keep myself entertained and
busy other than like, I really would love to do
some Halloween decoration crafting, but.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
It's gonna have to be on the cheap because I'm unemployed.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Are you a crafty person I am.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I do love crafting, Okay, okay, so that could be
an avenue for me.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
But other than that, I've started like twelve podcasts. This
one included all.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Right, this show excluded you need to slow down.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
That's what's wild, is like I've people when they ask
me about, you know, how's the job hunt going and
all that kind of stuff, and I'm like, I have
I feel like I've never been busier. I'm the busiest
unemployed person on the planet.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That's That's how you know you had it good when
you had the job, especially if we're being honest, because
you and I as radio people. When you've got a
good gig in radio, you know it. You knew when
you had it. I knew I had a good one
and have had a few. You've had a few, so
you know in the moment that you've got a good one.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
And if we're being honest, sometimes those jobs don't take
all day, correct, but they can pay well absolutely so
when you don't have it anymore, that's a big adjustment.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, And I'm like, you know what I feel like,
And I probably shouldn't actually admit this, Like being a
trad wife on some level would be nice if I
were rich, yeah, right, Like, but if you're poor and
a trad wife is not fine?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, because your husband's in education and right, I mean
unless he's the head of a private charter school.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I need I need money so I can at
least clean in my house and then go get drinks
later on this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That's a different level of productive.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Absolutely, it's it's fantastic. It sounds phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
But I'm like, I guess people should maybe be worried
if I start thinking about having kids or something, because
then that.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Might Yeah, that's that's definitely a step up from crafting.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
God, can you imagine? Kids? Is my hobby?
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Oh? Good?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now, Also, I'm too old. I think it's impossible to
have kids at this point. I might adopt a few.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
There you go, there are ways to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I could foster. No, what am I saying? Now?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You could you that? There it is? That's the problem. No, No,
The worst I have had it w was I came
home and my wife found a cat. If your husband
comes home and you found a kid, that's a whole
new level.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I think we might be divorced if that happens.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Now, let's jump on Reddit for our unsolicited Reddit story
of the week. Rebecca, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I am?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This is our very first Am I the a Hole here? Unsolicited?
And this one was so good Reddit actually deleted the
original posts. I know this is so bad because as
I'm going through a bunch of these in preparation for
today's show, the like it's like, Okay, that was okay,
this one's okay, this one's kind of mad. And then
this one popped up and I was like, that's the one.
(10:43):
That's the one we're going to do. Am I the
a hole for telling my husband his face smells like
a baby's butt?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Okay? Interesting? Is that a compliment or a negative?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Oh? It's definitely a negative from.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
This kyuh cause babies smell good.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Not to her? Okay, it appears so. Am I the
ahle for telling my husband his face smells like a
baby's butt. I'm twenty five female, he thirty male. Okay,
So she says, my husband has been using a shaving
foam for quite a while that seems to not agree
(11:21):
with his skin. pH while shaving, it smells normal. I
guess after it's done shaving, the scent shifts somehow.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It goes sour.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I bet that's what it sounds like. The other part
I was able to piece together is she says somehow
it smells a bit like the bottom of a baby
base notes of baby cream and top notes of discomfort
of my gag weirdly lacktonic as well. Oh so that's
(11:53):
all the information I was able to pull out of
the post after it got deleted. But I feel like
we have enough to go on here.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Question really quick, because I'm not that smart. Lactonic? Is
that what I think it means? Uh? Huh?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
If if you mean like milky.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, okay, like lactation tasty, yeah, okay, Because I do
know that smell. I know that sounds weird. I've never
had a baby, but I do know that smell. I've
got plenty of nieces and nephews, and when they get
like the milk down their face and if you don't
get it all rubbed off, it has a very gross,
sour smell.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Is that more information than you wanted?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's very descriptive, and I appreciate descriptive.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I am just trying to give people, the people what
they want a picture of what might be going on
with this man's face.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Well, not only did you paint it, but you painted
it in scratch and sniff form. So thank you, You're welcome.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
So what I'm here for?
Speaker 1 (12:44):
So do you think she's the ahole for telling her
husband that his face smells like a baby.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
But hard, No, I feel like people should know if
they stink. Wouldn't you want to know if you if
your face smelled gross?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yes, I also want to know when there's stuff in
my teeth.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Yes, anything that's anything, that's if I have something poking, sticking, yeah, protruding.
Tell me if I'm stinking, smelling whatever, tell me, please
God tell me.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yes, I do want to be the one walking around
like pig Pin from Charlie Brown.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right, I'll be a little embarrassed, but I'd rather be
a little embarrassed on the front end of you telling me, correct,
I've got baby spinach sticking out of my baby butt face,
then finding out later that I went through the entire
day with that, Yeah, because now you'd be the ahole
for not having told me.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I agree completely. Why do people not get that? I
think you're being a kinder, better friend, girlfriend, whatever, spouse
by telling your significant other that, like, hey, this is
just a little slightly off. You don't have to mean about.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It right quick aside, I still remember in seventh grade.
Seventh grade, so we're talking height of puberty, right, Yeah.
I still remember seventh grade walking into the cafeteria before
school or everyone congregated and having a buddy of mine
look at me and point to my face and say, hey, Dan,
you've got a huge ZiT right there. I still remember that.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Josh, Yeah, oh, Josh.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
While being embarrassed, I do actually kind of appreciate it
because I was able to go to the bathroom and
deal with it, so at least it wasn't as glaring
the rest of the day. So yeah, I was embarrassed,
but at least he told me his delivery could have
been better. But it is what it is. Yeah, back
to this. Am I the a hole for telling my
husband his face smells like a baby's butt? What do
(14:43):
you think the consensus was by the people on Reddit?
Do you think they think she was an a hole
or not the a hole? Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
This is Reddit, so I think everybody probably thought she
was a horrible person.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Wow, that is correct. Everyone said she's the a hole
in this. No, she's not the nos She's doing. She's
doing the right thing, the hard thing, but the right thing.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I'm curious as to what some of the comments were
to her, like why, like, why do you think that
that is an a whole thing to say to your
significant other at that.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Mm hm why?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
One person acrobatic Hippo says most people would not be
thrilled to learn they've been walking around smelling like baby
ass for quite a while and their spouse not telling them. So, yes,
y ta, you're the a hole if he smells unpleasant
due to what product, and you didn't bother letting him know.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Okay, but that's what she's doing, she's letting.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Him know, right, So that one's kind of an odd one. Uh.
Real Toledo says, you're the a hole? Why were you
so afraid to say something? I guess I guess what
they're saying is she waited too long to say something.
Oh okay, So maybe that's maybe that's part of the
chunk that we're missing that has people saying she's the
(15:59):
a hole, is that she didn't tell him soon enough.
Maybe that's it.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
So now I'm curious, like, what do you think the
over under is on? How long is too long before
you tell somebody.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Look your husband and wife as soon as he as
soon as he shaves, yeah, and whatever the pH balance
that's off comes into play and his face sours as
soon as you notice it, you need to say.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Something agreed, agreed completely. And I honestly don't think that
there would be any waiting period for me, because things
will just come out of my mouth without my permission,
and I think as soon as I smelt it, I
would be like, broth, is something's off here?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah. See that's where you and my wife are very similar.
You have no problem saying exactly what you're thinking in
the moment. And so there was a body wash that
I had bought from Bath and Bodyworks a while back,
and because we bought it.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
On there, you know what the Bath and Body Works, Oh, it.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is my wife's account. She had like the two for
one stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
So yeah, that's cute though.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But since we didn't go to the store to do
the smell test on these things, I experimented with a
couple of new scents and one of them did not
agree with my wife, and she did not hesitate to
tell me I had just gotten out of the shower.
She walks into the bathroom as I'm toweling off, and
she's like ooh, she's making like heaving over her and
(17:22):
then she's covering her face like she just walked into
some sort of mysterious cloud. Yeah, and she's like, what
does it smell? It smells like rubbing alcohol. That is awful.
What's going on? My nose is burning? I just took
a shower. How do how I could possibly smell bad?
And she's like, well, what did you use? Like, I
used one of the new scents you bought. Yeah, it's
called after Dark.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Oo ooh that no, anything called after dark you should
never buy. I can tell you that right away.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Like I'll tell you right now most of the names
for the things that men had to choose from at
Bath and Body where she is not good, Like, it
just sounds like a bad classified ad.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I literally, yeah, Oh, there's nothing good can come from
after Dark.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
It sounds like a really bad headline on a Craigslist
misconnection post.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Or like the ex brand cologne at an off brand store, like.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
At instead of Bath and Body works, it's bath and
Body kind of works. And the scent is not quite
after dark, right, but yeah, whatever was in this scent
did not agree with her whatsoever. And no, she did
not hesitate to let me know she's like rubbing alcohol.
Get that out of here. I ended up having to
throw the damn thing away.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Okay, but another caveat to this, would you be able
to tell her equally as quickly. It's always different. I
feel like guys are a little slower to tell.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, I'm kinder about it. I'll try to soft sell
it a little bit, but I will say I will
say I will tell her if something really is off putting,
because I try to. I try to approach every relationship
in my life, whether it's my wife with you, Golden
rule style. Absolutely, if I smell, I want you to
(19:08):
tell me. If you smell, I will tell you, but
I'll try to deliver it politely. I'm not going to
double over and dry heave in the bathroom the way
my wife did. I'll be like, I love you, but
this scent and you don't go well together.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Oh, I love you.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It's not you, it's it's me. Meanwhile, I walk out
of the shower. Boo, you smell awful. You're a biohazard.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Again. I don't think we can help it.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I think it's just one of those things where it's
like that instant gross and you have to know the
how awful it is and to get it off of
you immediately.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's exactly what it is. And you I now know
that if she's not around and I put something on
that smells bad, I know that you will tell me.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I will totally.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
If you have a booger in your nose, I got you.
If you've got food in your teeth, I got you.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Just you're not gonna pick it for me, right like
if I'm trying to find it, You're just You're just
gonna give really good directions on where it is.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yes, I can do the right, left, I can do
all of that.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, all right, So this is good. We're getting to
know one another and now we know the line is
you will not pick my nose. Correct, You're welcome, and
since I followed the Golden rule.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
You would do the same.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
You would do the same and also not pick my bondy. Well,
I don't know if I've ever had a more unsolicited
conversation that I've had Right now, we'll be back with more, Rebecca,
I have a confession to make. Oh, and this is
the first time I've ever told anybody this.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Okay, Oh god, am I in trouble?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
No, No, you're not in trouble.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Just checking, just checking.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
My confession is I like it when my wife is sick.
Let me clarify.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on on. Before
you get into your story. If this is going in
the direction which I think it is going, I'm already
annoyed by you.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, it's gonna be good then, because I'm willing to
bet it's gonna go the place that you think it is.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I think it is. I'm predicting right now, so go ahead.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I like it when my wife is sick. I don't
like that my wife is sick. I want that very clear.
I don't like I don't like her to be sick.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
But yeah, there is a difference.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
I just like that when she's sick and she's sleeping
and recovering, I can watch whatever I want.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Oh yeah, okay, I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Okay, what did you think I was gonna say?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I thought you were gonna be like so that I
can wait on her hand and foot and nurture her
and be the best husband ever. And I was gonna
be like, gross, Thank god, you're normal.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I will dote on her the proper amount I have.
I have empathy for her, I sympathize for her plight.
I will get her in anything she needs. I will
offer to get her anything she needs if I need
to go if she if she needs a specific thing
and I have to drive thirty minutes to go get it,
I'll happily go do that so you feel better, Okay,
But I am not going to baby stroke your face
(22:13):
and your hair like you kind of I'm not.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Doing that, Okay, good.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I will be I'm sure there's a better word for it,
and I can't think of it at the moment, but
I will be helpful but not smothering love it.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Okay, thank you, Lord, baby Jesus. Because I legit thought
you were gonna come in here and be like, look
at me, I'm such a hero, I'm such a good husband,
and I was just gonna murder.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You for that.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, keep in mind, I started out the segment saying,
I like it when my wife is sick.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I know that's what I thought.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I thought you were getting ready to like build yourself
up as this amazing husband, and I was gonna just
have to knock you down a peg.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yo, definitely not. I like it when my wife is
sick because I can go in the other room watch
a stupid action movie. I can play a video game
and not get any side eye for it. It's it's
a thing of beauty. I'll pause it and I'll go
get her some cough medicine or something. But I then
can go back and while she takes her night quill nap,
I can enjoy my Call of Duty war Zone, or
(23:11):
I can or I can rewatch the new Superman movie.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So is that what you've been doing this week?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yes, it's been good, Like it's been amazing, the best
week ever. I get to watch whoever I want. And
the weird thing about that is usually when I watch
the things I want, I do it at the gym
because I'm a movie guy. She has favorite actors, like
she loves Julia Roberts, and she has movies that she likes.
But there's a difference between liking some movies and being
(23:40):
a movie person.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Agreed, I'm a movie are yeah, I'm a movie yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
So I'll watch things that she has absolutely no interest in,
and in order for me to do that, I usually
just do it at the gym. And it's on my phone.
So when she's sick, if she's in the bedroom and
she's taken a night cuil nap, then I can be
in the living room on the big screen enjoy something
like a normal person.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I will say, you're very polite about about your TV watching,
that you'll take it to the gym in order to
like not bother her with that or whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, I mean, I know she doesn't have any interest
in watch and watching Extraction two with Chris Hymnsworth. She
didn't have any interest in Extraction one, so I didn't
bother her with either.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I didn't know they made a second one.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh yes, and I watched both at the gym, of course.
But well, when we're together, we'll watch things together, things
that we both enjoy, and then usually by the time
that's over, it's time for bed because we're old and
we're tired.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, no, no, no, I was like this, you're just
proving me that my husband and I have been married
for far too long, because We're at a point where
it's like he'll be watching football and I'm like, I
don't want to watch.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
That, and I just leave.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I just go in the other room and watch all
my murder shows, and that's good.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I think that's healthy. I think that's help.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
No, we're not spending any time together.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Here's the thing. Would you rather both go your separate
ways to watch something that you each want to watch
for a couple of hours or would you rather make
him watch your murder thing and him resent you for it?
Or would you rather him make you watch a football
game and you resent him for it. I'll choose not
resentment every single time.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Oh, I like suffrage. So I would love for him
to sit with me for two hours watching some murder
shows because that's love. That's proving your love to me.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Well, you send that to my wife, because I feel
like I do, like I know way too much about
the Idaho college student murders than I need to know.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yes, Oh that's a good one to get to know.
Like I'm all in on that one. And he's having
a bad time in prison and I'm fine with that,
of course.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I'm good with that.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah. Same, who knew.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Bushy eyebrows made good handlebars? So yeah, So I like
it when my wife is sick because I can then
watch whatever I want on the big screen TV and
she's not subjected to it.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I will say that is a perk, but for women
it's completely the opposite. We hate it when our husbands
are sick because y'all are annoying and.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Big old babies.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Is that your husband?
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, And it's funny that you mentioned this because my
husband is currently sick.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
He's been sick for like.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Four days, and rather than go to a doctor and
get like medication, he's decided to.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Wallow in it in front of me for the last
four days. And I hate it. I don't care. I'm like,
I'm sorry that you're sick. Go to the doctor.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I don't need to nag.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Then stop complaining.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is he whining about it?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
It's not even it's not even like a vocal whine.
It's like a whole body sad sack happening on the couch.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Oh? No, so he's he's like adult pouting.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Yes, It's like he.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Comes home, grunts a word to me, and then like
sits on the couch posted up, watching who knows what,
and it's just like, all.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I don't feel good.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's a pity party.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
It is. It's a pity party, and I'm so annoyed
by it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, so I think I'm the odd bald in that scenario.
I usually only get sick about once a year, and
when I do, it's usually the same thing. I know
what I need to get through it, and I don't
go to the doctor because I know there's over the
counter stuff I can get and I don't need to
go spend a copey or whatever on the doctor. I
(27:21):
know what I need to do. If it's bad, I
will go to the doctor. And when I get to
the doctor, I will word vomit every symptom and thought
I've had about it, because if I'm there and I'm
paying for it, I'm not gonna mess around and tippy toad.
It's like, here's my problem.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, no, my husband will not do that. And I'm like,
you're a teacher. You're surrounded by kids with super germs.
We don't have kids, we don't have that immune system
that's all built up and such. So I'm like, whatever
they have, they're gonna take you out. You should know
this by now. He's literally been a teacher for twenty years, Like, come.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
On, he should do what my eighth grade science teacher did. Large,
large man, very bright, possibly brilliant. He carried around a
yard stick.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Not only did he use it to slap people's desks
so they'd wake up, but he would use it as
an extender, like if someone was sick, he would poke
them and push them away from him. Oh my guard
away his arm extended with the yardstick. So now you're
talking about a good you know, yeah yard and a
half yeah, with him saying talk to me from over there,
(28:26):
and he would just push them with the yardstick. That's
what your your husband should do.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
I love that so much, Like I think I'm going
to do that tonight to him.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You can make it because you're crafty. Now I can.
I've got time, because all it takes. And he did this,
My eighth grade teacher did this. He would get some
athletic tape and he would tape a handle around the
yard stick. So obviously he didn't rub off any of
the wood.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I could.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
I could just like grab the plastic silverware out of
the pantry here and just tape it all together and
make myself a poker stick.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I wait to see your husband on the news.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
It will happen, promises.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
We are back to unsolicited. She's Rebecca Black. I'm Daniel Maley.
We're new to you, but we're also new to each other.
Rebecca and I have only actually met in person one time,
I know, right, yeah, but we've been aware of each
other for a long time. We've spoken on social media
and things. We're able to sort of build this sort
of camaraderie to a point to where you're like, you
(29:27):
know what, let's do a show together. So here we are.
But because of that, yeah, we're still new to one another.
We're still getting to know each other along with you
getting to know us. So I thought, what better way
to get to know everybody, for you to know us,
and us to know each other than play one of
my favorite games, Would you Rather?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I love? Would you Rather? So?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Full disclosure, Rebecca. Eventually we'll play this game, and I'll
make it real weird, real fast.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
The weirder the better. I do not love surface level questions.
I like to get into the weird stuff, and then
I want you to explain answers.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Perfect. Well, today we're gonna kind of start surface and
then we'll dig a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
I guarantee you there is nothing surface about this conversation.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Okay, Well, we're about to find.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
It regardless of the questions.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
All right, so here we go unsolicited. Would you rather, Rebecca?
Would you rather have coffee or tea? Every morning?
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Coffee? Coffee, coffee, coffee?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Would you ready?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
People can go away to me.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Ted Lasso said it best when he said tea is
just garbage water it It truly.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Is like And don't get me wrong, I'm from Texas.
It's hot here.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
I like a good, sweet iced tea, but I will
go with a hot coffee all day.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yes, coffee is my jam.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
It's my ritual wal.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
And it's also a ritual for me. And my thing
with coffee is I just even if I don't drink it,
I just love the smell.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh right, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You want to hear a funny thing. My dad has
never drink coffee in his whole life.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Ever. He hates the smell all of it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1 (31:03):
That's so weird.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I know. I'm like, can you just try it the
one time?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, I have. My buddy Raj has never had coffee.
But I don't think he I don't think he dislikes
the smell of it. He just never had it.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
But like, why I need to know why people have
not had coffee.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
They're literally a Starbucks or a La La Land on
every single corner.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Why would you not partake.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
A lot of people that drink coffee nowadays really aren't
drinking coffee. It's basically just a bunch of milk and
sugar with a dash of coffee.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
I mean, yes, that's how I started, That's what got
me hooked. My granddad was like, I'll let you have
coffee when I was four, and it was like milk,
water and some sugar and a tiny bit of coffee.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, it turns out frappuccinos or just gateways.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
To coffee, that's for real.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Would you rather always be ten minutes early or ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Late neither, I'm all I am. I am habitually late,
and it's not on purpose.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I have the time.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I'm blind this thing, so I guess early. I'd like
to be early for once in my whole life.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You what about you?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
I am definitely team early because I had a feeling. Yeah,
I'm a punctual guy. I can't stand it if I'm
a minute late. I'm not so hard up to say
if I'm on time, I'm five minutes late. I'm not
that weird, but I would definitely rather be early than
a second late.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Like I have this again, I'm perpetually late, and in
order to combat that, I have to be like, really
aggressively early. And so nine times out of ten, when
I'm trying to be somewhere, let's say at nine am,
I will be there at eight thirty because I'm progressively late,
and then I have to sit in my car for
thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Progressively. You're like a jackpot.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I've again, never been early a day in my life.
I'm so bad at it.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Would you rather spend a day at the beach or
a day in the mountains?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Beach all day? Give me some sun? What about you beach?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Would you live?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
You literally live on the beach?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Okay, so I'm a gray man?
Speaker 3 (33:08):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
That means that honestly, my wife. When I told my
wife that you and I were going to do a
show centered around hot takes and bold opinions and it
was going to be called unsolicited, she looked at me.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Like, you because you don't have opinions to give.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I do. But I always ask clarifying questions, like I
want more information before I just necessarily just give, you know,
just whatever out the talk of my head. I need
context for lots of things. Right, coffee tea, that's easy,
I can do that. Sure. To give you an example,
would I choose beach? Yes, that being said, where I
(33:45):
live Saint Thomas, US, Virgin Islands, we're actually on a mountain,
but it's over the beach. We are seven hundred feet
above sea level, which doesn't sound that high, but we
are a three minute drive to the waterfront.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
So like the best best of both worlds.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It kind of is. We get the height and the views,
but we're it's beach. Ultimately, it's beach, but it's the
islands here. If you've ever seen photos of Saint Lucia
with the really sharp peaks, it's like a it's like that,
just a little not quite as sharp. It looks like
little mountains poking out of the ocean. Okay, I'm not
mad at that, So that's where my answer could be
(34:25):
kind of gray. But ultimately, yeah, give me a beach. Okay.
Next one, would you rather explore space or the deep ocean?
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Space? Hands down? Space.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
The ocean is a scary, scary place. There's critters down
there that we don't know, We've never like met them.
I don't want to encounter some sort of weird critter like.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Ocean critters, know, space critters.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Okay, yes, yeah, what about you?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, I gotta love of I gotta love of space
for my dad.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
So yeah, give me, gimme easy answer. And I don't know.
I just also feel like we have a better track
record with space.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Once we get there. Yeah, but don't tell that to
the guys from Apollo one.
Speaker 3 (35:11):
Well, you know, we gotta make sacrifices.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
What did I say, I have one? Or Gemini? Well,
you know the one that the fire and the cap.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Would you rather have this? One's interesting? Would you rather
have free flights for life or free restaurant meals for life?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
God, that's a hard one.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
I like both of those a lot because I love food.
Food is delicious and I eat literally all the time.
But I think I'm gonna go with flights because then
I could just go eat in Italy whenever I want.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Yeah, I too would take the flights because the flights
are more expensive.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Uh that's a great point. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Yeah, I'm just approaching that from a pure financial angle.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
But also then aren't in there a party.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
That's like, I bet I could eat my way through
a lot of free food.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Oh I know I can.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
It would be like you're on the all inclusive vacation
all the time, dude out ahead on those Yeah who doesn't.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Yeah, well, I've seen people that don't like, why are
you at an all inclusive? It's a waste on you go?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Can I just sorry?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Side note here, I always have to interject a little
story or whatever. But when we go on the all
inclusive vacations, people like will stare at us because, oh,
our waiters also are like, are you sure you want
that many meals? We will order like three meals apiece
and then just move it all around the table with
friends and we eat all of it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
That's good. I like it.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Yeah, every time, five desserts.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Every time I've done an all inclusive or just gone
to just Ponchos or Golden Corral. Yeah, I will come
out ahead.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Name like beffet does not want to see me coming.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Uh. Do you remember the comedian John Pinnett, really heavyset guy.
He was the one that it wasn't very it's not
PC by today's standards, but when he did the jokes
back then, it was he's like he goes to the
Asian buffet, and because he's a very large man, they're
the ones that tell him, you go away, you've been
here four hour. Yeah, they don't want him coming because
(37:24):
he he wins, he breaks the bank, same way anytime
I've gone, and all inclusive, it's like, it's not just
a vacation, it's a mission. Correct. If I spent two
grand on this trip, mm hmm, I will get four.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Out of it, absolutely as you should, though, I'm like,
that is what it is designed for.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
All right, let's jump to some other would you rather?
Would you rather always talk in rhyme or always sing
instead of speak?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Oh, I'm a singer. I make up songs at home
all the time. That's my ADHD brain in a noise
of crap out of my husband. But get me the
singing all the time. I know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Rhyme, Go yeah, rhyme. And here's why, keeping in mind
that I grew up in a very musical family, right, Okay,
But I saw the movie The Marvels and they went
to a whole planet where they only communicate by singing,
and it was really annoying, and that was for only
like twenty minutes in a movie, so I couldn't do
it for life.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
I'll do the right men, like, I know it's annoying,
but I can't stop. I just I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
I think my husband's used to it at this point,
because we've been married for a really long time. And
I asked him the other day, it's funny you mentioned this.
I was like, I go, do you just not hear
it anymore? And he was like, I really don't.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
It's a special talent that some of us men have.
We don't all have it, but those of us that
do know it exactly and we appreciate it. Yeah, I
too can.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Two certain things out must be nice.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Would you rather have spaghetti for hair or maple syrup
for sweat?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Oh, spaghetti for hair. We would maple syrup sweat.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
At least I wouldn't look weird to other people.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Do you do you understand what it would feel like
to be like on a treadmill and then your armpits
are just sticking to yourself because of the maple syrup
thickness sweat.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
Well, at least I wouldn't be the stinky guy at.
Speaker 3 (39:18):
The jim, No, I think you would be stinky.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, I mean, I'll just smell like pancakes and stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Right, which can get annoying after a while.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
It can. But if I have spaghetti for hair, I
try I try to limit the amount of pasta I eat.
I don't think I could live with it just dangling
next to me.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
Whipping it around. Absolutely, I would.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Just sace flinging. Would you rather be able to teleport
but only the places you've been? Or fly but only
as fast as you can walk?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Teleport? Yeah, I'm I'm lazy.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
When I was younger, and when I was younger, it
was all about I want to fly or I want
to be like Superman and have superhuman strength. As an adult,
that's like teleportet teleport all day.
Speaker 3 (40:13):
Yep, yep, I've been on enough long flights that a
teleport situation would be fantastical. Also, like, I'm old and
I'm kind of scared of flying. Does that make sense? No?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
It does? Airplane give me your logic? So you're old.
So you just said you're old and you're kind of
afraid of flying. What's your logic?
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Like, I'm a like I assume when the people will
ask you if you want to have the ability to fly,
that means you're like Superman, right and you're out in
the elements flying around.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Okay, I don't know why, but that's terrifying now. It
was cool when I was a kid. Now that I'm old,
I'm like, oh, it's so dangerous, Like there could be
lightning and I'm a flying around.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
No thanks, Maybe just stay at a reasonable altitude, or
just don't fly during bad weather.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
But then, like, what if it's hot and you're flying
in the heat.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
It gets you a moisture wicking cape.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
No, that's no good.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
When I can just push a button and teleport somewhere,
that's so much safer.
Speaker 1 (41:20):
That makes sense. Would you rather hit There's a lot
in the brain, Yeah, there is the was a lot
going on in for sure. M Would you rather hiccup
non stop for a day or sneeze non stop for
an hour?
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I already have the hiccup problem, so I'm going to
go with sneezing. Also, I think sneezing is the greatest
feeling in the world.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Oh I hate sneezing. What I hate it?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
You're you're not doing it right?
Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh no, I'm doing it right.
Speaker 3 (41:52):
So you want to be a hiccupper.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
No, I don't. I might hate hiccups worse. I hate
both just about equally because I'm no longer in control
of my body. I don't like not being in control
of my person. And the way I sneeze it is big,
it is loud, it is violent.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
That's the only way to sneeze. That means you are
doing it right. And I know it's annoying to other people,
but it feels so good.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Yeah, I would rather. Yeah, I would rather sneeze non
stop for an hour than hiccup non stop for a day.
I'll take the sneezes.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yet, I'm I'm yeah, I'm a hic I will hiccup
all day to anyway.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
And it's the most annoying thing.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
It's happened to me on the air before, and it's
like there's nothing I can do where I take a
senate senten sentence and go.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
And they're loud too.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
Mine are loud and obnoxious. It's embarrassing on you know.
I know I'm already loud and obnoxious, so why would
my hiccups not be?
Speaker 1 (42:53):
That makes me super excited for the next episode of
Unsolicited with Rebecca Black and Me dan O, Maley Wee.
We'll see you next time.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
