Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just trying to figure out if I'm abnormal or not.
It's one more thing I'm strong andy, one more thing I.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Think we can answer that is there going to be
a vote?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Don't even need to know the context? No, No, Matt,
We're good.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No question as phrased, was plenty.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
You know, to a certain extent. I'll admit I might
be an outlier, but on a number of things. But
everybody you know, like if you really know them, the
whole idea of like normal or average or whatever, because
like everybody you know, like really know, don't they have
like some serious quirks, every single one of them. I
(00:46):
can't think of anybody I like, really really know, maybe
outside my mom and dad. My mom and dad really
don't have any but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, I mean mostly sure, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think everybody was so so the range of normal
that we generally think of in our minds, just for
thinking of the population a whole, is much narrower than
my real experience now as a person with a number
of quirks. Maybe a hang around other people with other
people who have lots of quirks also, which is almost
certainly true. But I just think the range of normals
(01:20):
way wider than we tend to.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, our public face, our presentation of ourselves
is much more tailored than the reality. When you really
get to know somebody, you know, as Seinfeld put it,
you see their side, their other side or whatever. I
just sure, yeah, and it's fine.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
One of my dearest actually Greg Greg Gory. He came
on one of the podcasts back last summer. He is
so clean, like there are you go into his house,
you just don't want to touch anything. But one of
his biggest annoyances is when the condiments are lined up
in the labels don't line up with each other. So
I used to whenever I'd go over to his house,
(02:02):
I'd like twist the ketchup bottle like a quarter of
an inch to the left.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So why do you think we act like there's a
normal range that's a much more narrow band than is
our life experience. I wonder why I've never even really
thought about this before.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
You know, I think this may fit into the I
really need to come up with a name for this concept.
The speed limit on the highway is not seventy because
they want everybody to do seventy. It's because they don't
want people to do one hundred, So it's not in
our our concept of normal isn't enforced. But stay within,
(02:45):
you know, shouting distance of it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, I'm trying to go through people in my head though,
and like every person that, like, I really know, and
if you don't really know somebody, then then you don't know.
But everybody that I really know has got like a
couple of things that are pretty.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Wacky, and we're gauging that off of except for me,
I mean obviously, but go on clearly, but we're gauging
that off of like our normal.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Like, there are people that I know that I think
are just weirder than hell, and they've got a whole
group of people that are weird as hell like them,
and they think that's normal.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
True.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, so that gets back to my I'm pretty quirky,
so I tend to hang around quirky people because people
that aren't quirky wouldn't be interested to me and vice versa.
So yeah, so you got that.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right. Yeah, it's probably one of the reasons I'm actually
pretty tolerant of people with different political views. It's because
I've spent my life among musicians. Half of them are
completely nuts or wrong about everything, but they're lovely people. Yeah, anyway,
I just don't want them in charge.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
This is a pretty bland question that I've got for
the setup that I put out there. But what temperature
you I'm going to ask everybody here because I'm trying
to figure out how close to normal I am. What
temperature do you keep the house at at night? Michael?
What do you set thermostat at at night?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Probably route seventy?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, Katie just responded with a wide eyed flinch. What
do you keep it at?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I keep it at sixty six, sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I could never sleep at seventy now almost exactly the
same on the chili side. Yeah, answer, I couldn't sleep
any of the season. Is that where you find most
comfortable or most financially comfortable? Financially comfortable, right, because there's
a difference.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah, I would like sixty eight or sixty seven.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I put my thermostat at whatever makes me comfortable, comfortable,
regardless of finances. Even when I was well and I
was poor, I didn't run the air conditioner at all.
I mean, my roommates, we'd lay on the couch in
shorts sleep all night long with the doors and windows
wide open. So we didn't die because we just there
was no freaking wake. We could afford air conditioning. It
wasn't even even a question of turning on. I didn't
(04:57):
end up speaking of court. People hanging around, hang around
people like yourself, everybody I knew, girlfriends, whatever. Nobody ran
their air conditioner. Nobody, because like I had one girlfriend
who lived with their parents, So you go over there,
they had air condisriering. We'd go to the mall for
air conditioning. But but anyway, once I started making some money,
I decided, I'm going to keep it comfortable in my house.
I don't care if I have to walk to work
(05:18):
or donate plasma. This is one thing I'm going to do.
I'm going to keep it comfortable mass But seventy seems
a little warm to me.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
All right, it is too warm?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Sorry, you wish it were cooler.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, I'm changing it. After what you just said, I'm
going to change my ways.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Not get down a couple of degrees. Get to yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I would have cheaper I would eat cheaper food before
I would give up the comfortable temperature at night.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Definitely, Yeah, still groceries. It's legal in California. Michael, how
it's not illegal.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
How about during the day, what do you keep it at?
Same same?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah? Yeah, same summers. Oh in the really you keep
it like sixty seven when it's one hundred and three
out Katie, And then I would well, are we talking
about during sleeping?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
What do you keep it at during the day? Joe
is astonished. So what are you going with the daytime temperature?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah? You Joe, Uh well, it depends on the season
of the year. I mean, you just.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Don't go comfort. Only comfort. The only number I care about.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Is I'm talking about comfort. Interrupt this, Maximus. If you
come in from one hundred and four degree day, seventy
six is pretty damn call.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I couldn't live in a house. It's oh my god.
I would run screaming from a home that was so okay,
no way, yeah, that would be honestly, you know what,
I think.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We keep it seventy four, seventy three something like that.
But if you keep it way cooler than that, right.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Oh yeah, that'd be way too hot for You're.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Always wearing a freaking suit, throwing some shorts. That's the
thing I'm wearing soccer shorts and a T shirt.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Joe and judyist. So that's what he wants to leave on.
But it is cooler personal. So your daytime temperature hot day, Katie,
probably sixty eight. Yeah, I'm closer to that.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Yeah, I'm not like polar bears. Well I'm much it is.
When I get hot, I get pissed. Yeah, so around
angry all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
So I like to keep it cool and even to
the point where it's like, if I start to get cold,
I can I can put a hoodie on.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yep, exactly. I'll throw on a hoodie in my house
because it's too cool.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
See, I feel like a sin layer of sweat makes
me glow.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I think they didn't that special listening exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And Michael, hot day inside, your temperature is.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Uh definitely uh nope, sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'd say, yeah, okay, that's pretty cool. Yeah, and this
is also uh a thing if you live with somebody else,
These are not minor concerns if you live with somebody else.
You know, you and Judy have been together so long.
I don't know what point you came together on your
temperatures or if you just agreed from the beginning. But
you have to have to come to an agreement on
(08:00):
these sorts of things. And some people are hot blooded
and some people are cold blooded and whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Had this conversation one time, and one time only got
freezing in my house.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Looked at droom.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Is the ac on?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Sixty one degrees?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Sixty one's chilly?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh boy, wow, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Like, are you okay? Are you trying to kill me?
So he's been keeping meat good of somewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I don't know if sixty one is chilly.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, that's that happened because it's.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Regularly, for whatever reason, the thermostat in the studio resets
to sixty four on the weekends, and when we walk
in here on Monday mornings, it's freaking cold. If sixty
four feels like that, it's sixty one.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Wow, Well in the fans on high so you have
to work in the wind chill too. That feels like
it is like fifty four.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But you don't have your fridge. You can just leave
the fridge door open and unplugged and everything. Stay your meat,
your condiments, everything's good because it's sixty one.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In your house, orderline frozen.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, So speaking of the meat, and condiments. Uh. And
and your your buddy with the all of these condiments
have to be faced. As you say, in the grocery business, uh,
and also in the bank teller business. Judy and I
share this. We have got to if I have cash
in my wallet, the bills must be faced. They must
all be facing the same way. If they're like a mishmash,
(09:19):
one's upside down, ones backwards and all, I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Mine just have to be an order. They don't have
to be faced.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
They have to be faced.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I have a yeah, I'm I'm. If I've got a
little bit of time, they don't have to be faced,
but I will do it if I've got a couple
of seconds. Make sure they're all turned the same direction.
But the order thing got to be the twenties on
the inside, then tens and fives and ones as I
got them fold in my pocket. Gotta be. I can't
imagine walking around with them just.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Reverse pimprol small bills on the outside.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well that's what I got, Yeah, my smallde oh I
thoctually have the big bills, fold it around my Costco card.
That's how I carry my cash.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So Joe h all of his one hundred dollars bills
inside the ones.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, and my thousands are inside the hundreds.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, my son has got one one hundred dollars bill
that he got from I don't know what, Grandma and
grandpa or something, and he likes to wrap that around
his money like he's a wrapper or something.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You know. Wow, I play in a fairly big golf
game every weekend with a bunch of different guys, and
you kick in twenty bucks in all, but somebody inevitably
shows up with like a hundred throws that in there,
and come on, come on, a flex. As I've said
many times in a lot of day to day life,
(10:36):
one hundred dollars bill, you might as well have a fish.
You're trying to go around and trade a fish for,
you know, that gallon of milker or you know, I
just need this and can you break that? And they
look at you. No, No, take your fish and go elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
When I used to get to break that, when I
used to travel around Mexico a lot, twenty was like that.
Twenty dollars in Mexico money might as well have been
a brick. No, he was going to have change for that.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Gosh, when I was bartending at a little dive bar
and I was like the midday shift, so it wasn't
crazy busy. There was this one guy that always came in.
All he ever had were fifty dollars bills and he
would buy one drink and I'd look at him and go,
have you not learned your lesson?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Like, we can't you keep breaking these?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You don't have your change from yesterday?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He was laundering money? Oh okay, probably or something, Yeah,
ozark like it's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, I had one more thought on that was it
the money? Oh so it's a little OCD right the
whole I can't walk around with either the money facing
the wrong direction or not in the right order. That's
because there's no logic behind that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
No, no, not per se. I mean I can recognize
a five dollar bill on the back to the numbers
right there. Yeah, I find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Also speaking of quirks, is everybody's different levels of OCD.
Mine is quite mild, and I know more people. I
know people that have it more, but it's not to.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
The like debilitating.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. I don't know what the proper medical term is
to do where you actually have to adjust your life
around like like my son. I mean, he's got OCD
do a level that he has to adjust his life
around it. And thank god, I don't have that. He
takes medicine for it. But you know, we've all got
a little bit of it.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I have that with parking in a parking space, I
have to get it just right, like right in the middle.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, that's pride, that's not OCD. That's being a man.
No offense, Katie.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I can't microwave anything on an odd number, just can't.
I'm gonna cook it for twenty seconds or twenty four
seconds or eighteen seconds, but I ain't gonna do it
for nineteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
My car, you can set the temperature. I always go
in even increments, and I decided that was stupid, and
so now I'm disciplining myself to mix in some odd
increments so I don't get fixated.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Well, but the benefits are really you're really reaping the
benefits of this chain.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Well, well, there's a freedom in it, Jack. If I
want it to be seventy three, I set it at
seventy three. Damn it, God, I'm not gonna settle for
seventy two or oh sweltering seventy four.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
No, I'm going to dial you know what I'm gonna
do that today. I want to warm up that fresh
bread to put butter on it. I'm gonna microwave it
for fourteen seconds. No, no, I did it again, fourteen seconds. Wow,
he's worse than we saw him touch a kitty. Yes,
I'll write an odd number like fourteen.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Are we three?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Now? Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Wait, no, I'll try sixteen.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
No, God, well, join us next time for when the
staff will discuss whether we whether we like partly cloudy,
mostly cloudy, or fully overcast conditions. Well, I guess that's it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That is funny, Michael,
Just trying to figure out if I'm abnormal or not.
It's one more thing I'm strong andy, one more thing I.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Think we can answer that is there going to be
a vote?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Don't even need to know the context? No, No, Matt,
We're good.

I don't know what point you came together on your
temperatures or if you just agreed from the beginning. But
you have to have to come to an agreement on
(08:00):
these sorts of things. And some people are hot blooded
and some people are cold blooded and whatever.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Had this conversation one time, and one time only got
freezing in my house.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Looked at droom.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Is the ac on?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Sixty one degrees?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Sixty one's chilly?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh boy, wow, it's.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Like, are you okay? Are you trying to kill me?
So he's been keeping meat good of somewhere.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I don't know if sixty one is chilly.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, that's that happened because it's.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Regularly, for whatever reason, the thermostat in the studio resets
to sixty four on the weekends, and when we walk
in here on Monday mornings, it's freaking cold. If sixty
four feels like that, it's sixty one.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Wow, Well in the fans on high so you have
to work in the wind chill too. That feels like
it is like fifty four.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But you don't have your fridge. You can just leave
the fridge door open and unplugged and everything. Stay your meat,
your condiments, everything's good because it's sixty one.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In your house, orderline frozen.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Yeah, So speaking of the meat, and condiments. Uh. And
and your your buddy with the all of these condiments
have to be faced. As you say, in the grocery business, uh,
and also in the bank teller business. Judy and I
share this. We have got to if I have cash
in my wallet, the bills must be faced. They must
all be facing the same way. If they're like a mishmash,
(09:19):
one's upside down, ones backwards and all, I can't stand it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Mine just have to be an order. They don't have
to be faced.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
They have to be faced.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I have a yeah, I'm I'm. If I've got a
little bit of time, they don't have to be faced,
but I will do it if I've got a couple
of seconds. Make sure they're all turned the same direction.
But the order thing got to be the twenties on
the inside, then tens and fives and ones as I
got them fold in my pocket. Gotta be. I can't
imagine walking around with them just.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Reverse pimprol small bills on the outside.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well that's what I got, Yeah, my smallde oh I
thoctually have the big bills, fold it around my Costco card.
That's how I carry my cash.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So Joe h all of his one hundred dollars bills
inside the ones.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Well, and my thousands are inside the hundreds.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, my son has got one one hundred dollars bill
that he got from I don't know what, Grandma and
grandpa or something, and he likes to wrap that around
his money like he's a wrapper or something.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
You know. Wow, I play in a fairly big golf
game every weekend with a bunch of different guys, and
you kick in twenty bucks in all, but somebody inevitably
shows up with like a hundred throws that in there,
and come on, come on, a flex. As I've said
many times in a lot of day to day life,
(10:36):
one hundred dollars bill, you might as well have a fish.
You're trying to go around and trade a fish for,
you know, that gallon of milker or you know, I
just need this and can you break that? And they
look at you. No, No, take your fish and go elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
When I used to get to break that, when I
used to travel around Mexico a lot, twenty was like that.
Twenty dollars in Mexico money might as well have been
a brick. No, he was going to have change for that.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Gosh, when I was bartending at a little dive bar
and I was like the midday shift, so it wasn't
crazy busy. There was this one guy that always came in.
All he ever had were fifty dollars bills and he
would buy one drink and I'd look at him and go,
have you not learned your lesson?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Like, we can't you keep breaking these?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You don't have your change from yesterday?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
He was laundering money? Oh okay, probably or something, Yeah,
ozark like it's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, I had one more thought on that was it
the money? Oh so it's a little OCD right the
whole I can't walk around with either the money facing
the wrong direction or not in the right order. That's
because there's no logic behind that.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
No, no, not per se. I mean I can recognize
a five dollar bill on the back to the numbers
right there. Yeah, I find that interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Also speaking of quirks, is everybody's different levels of OCD.
Mine is quite mild, and I know more people. I
know people that have it more, but it's not to.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
The like debilitating.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah. I don't know what the proper medical term is
to do where you actually have to adjust your life
around like like my son. I mean, he's got OCD
do a level that he has to adjust his life
around it. And thank god, I don't have that. He
takes medicine for it. But you know, we've all got
a little bit of it.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I have that with parking in a parking space, I
have to get it just right, like right in the middle.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, that's pride, that's not OCD. That's being a man.
No offense, Katie.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
I can't microwave anything on an odd number, just can't.
I'm gonna cook it for twenty seconds or twenty four
seconds or eighteen seconds, but I ain't gonna do it
for nineteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
My car, you can set the temperature. I always go
in even increments, and I decided that was stupid, and
so now I'm disciplining myself to mix in some odd
increments so I don't get fixated.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Well, but the benefits are really you're really reaping the
benefits of this chain.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Well, well, there's a freedom in it, Jack. If I
want it to be seventy three, I set it at
seventy three. Damn it, God, I'm not gonna settle for
seventy two or oh sweltering seventy four.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
No, I'm going to dial you know what I'm gonna
do that today. I want to warm up that fresh
bread to put butter on it. I'm gonna microwave it
for fourteen seconds. No, no, I did it again, fourteen seconds. Wow,
he's worse than we saw him touch a kitty. Yes,
I'll write an odd number like fourteen.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Are we three?
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Now? Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Wait, no, I'll try sixteen.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
No, God, well, join us next time for when the
staff will discuss whether we whether we like partly cloudy,
mostly cloudy, or fully overcast conditions. Well, I guess that's it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
That is funny, Michael,
