Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why the hell would anyone steal that? It's one more Thing.

(00:03):
I'm strong and getty one more thing. Before we get
to that. On our first One More Thing of the
New year, I had several people tell me that they
really enjoy the One More Thing podcast. I lovely and
a couple of people that became aware of it by
listening to the best of stuff on the radio while

(00:27):
we're off for two weeks, because producer Mike Hansen put
some of the One More Thing podcast on the radio
stations that were doing best of and so some people
got introduced to it. So that's cool. A couple of
quick things before I get to a couple of stories
came across this shit. Wow.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
See that's one of the things about the One More
Thing podcasts. Sometimes there are swears, although now Hanson has
to label it so he doesn't rund it on the
air uncensored.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
First one of twenty five.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Michael Boy, Sorry, that was childish and I regret it.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
It was very childish. I loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Tell you what your inner child leaves town, you're screwed.
I keep mine the healthy.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It reminds me. We so one of the fun things
we did a cousin Christmas. We call it where everybody
gets together, my brothers, their families, kids, cousins, grandma and grandpa, everybody,
we're there. We did a hot sauce competition based on
the what's that TV show? Hot One? Hot Ones? Yeah,
so you can buy the home version of Hot Ones

(01:38):
and we watch Have you ever watched Hot Ones? Joe?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's pretty entertaining. Watched the Shack episode if you don't
watch anything else, because it's pretty funny. Yeah. They have
celebrities on there and then the interview them while they
try increasingly hot hot sauce with chips.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, Shack is stupid. That sounds really entertaining.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh, I haven't seen Conan's great funny. Shack is hilarious.
Guzzle and milk. They have milk there to drink, and
I mean, like crazy, I don't like spicy stuff, so
I don't get any joy out of it. I didn't
even participate, but everybody else did. Most everybody else did.
It was pretty funny, including my my my thirteen year

(02:15):
old Henry. He did the hottest one, the two million,
whatever that number is. They got a scale right, and
it was the hottest one that they had. Yeah, candle power. Anyway,
he was just he ran into the bathroom. We just
heard him in there and he yelled God damn. Oh

(02:37):
that got big laughs out of everyone. Boy, it must
be a guy thing.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
My husband we bought that hot ones thing and he
did it with one of his friends and he completed it.
He walked around like he just hulk smashed a building.
Like he was like, yeah, it was like the biggest
testosterone boost I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I guess it is a certain can you take it? Thing?
Because my brother the you know, served in Iraq several times.
Guy really likes taking on the hot sauce.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Wow, how interesting?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Uh? What was I leading up to? Oh? These couple
of things I came across, I don't know, they don't
fit in. I'll do that.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
I was gonna say, you know, I walk around with
crippling joint pain all the time. So I'm good, Frankly,
you burn your mouth with hot sauce. I'm good over here.
I got my thing.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
You got you.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's always don't see the appeal.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
It's always seemed a little bit to me like I'll
take these players and pinch you really hard? Is it here?
How about I pinch you here really hard.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Wow can hold her hand over a burner loss, although
you're not going to give yourself third degree burns obviously
with hot sauce.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So the the Hot Sauce game thing came with a
stack of cards and questions on them, and the way
you're supposed to play the game is you can either
answer the question or eat the hot sauce. And the
questions are like embarrassing or revealing. So it's kind of
a you know, thirteen year old. Now we've reached it

(03:59):
worked up to the really hot hot sauce, and here's
the question. The questions were way too filthy and dirty.
My son chose poorly. I should have looked at the
box before we bought it at Target. I was looking
through it. I mean, just like this is for early
twenty something drunk people sitting around. I mean, you know,
what was your worst one night stand? And just you know,

(04:19):
just stuff like that, a lot of them. But I
dug out for parenting. I dug out a bunch of
the questions that were okay for the family and parenting,
and then we did those and we didn't end up
doing them for the Hot saucing. We just tried the
hot sauce on chips. But this was just conversation starters.
I just needed something we got. We're all sitting around
and after like the initial I don't know if anybody

(04:41):
else has I've ever had this happen before, but get
all the family together and everything like that, and there's
a big burst of energy. Then that kind of a
bit of a lull happens, and now we got to
come up with something we gotta Well, first of you,
of all, you go out to eat like nine times,
but when you can't constantly go out to eat, so
he gets so.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
So many cookies. I am now a cookie addict. Oh lord.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
So I dug out some of the questions and what
was the one I was going to do before I
get to the final one? Oh, this is a pretty
decent one. It was kind of interesting because I'm there
as a parent with my kids, and then my parents
were there with their kids and grandkids, and the question
was what trait would you least like to pass down
to your kids?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Oh that's heavy.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, but I thought it was damned interesting. Again with
the family relations there. It was interesting me because my
dad said, patience, I wish I I wish I had
more patience. I don't have much patience. I never have
and I don't like that, and I wouldn't want to
pass that along. And I thought, huh, I've kind of
got that patience. I've got different things that bothered me
more than that. But like, my son really has no patience.

(05:51):
So and I have no idea if that's a genetic
thing or not.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, a lot of it is.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
What would your answer be.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Oh, my god, mine, that might be it. Uh yeah, yeah,
it would be something like that. Yeah, just patience, ability
to look, you can make your point later. I'm thinking
back to you know, I was a young parent and

(06:21):
ran a little hot and there were times it took
me a while to learn. Look, you can't make the
point tonight with your angry, misbehaving kid. Just plant the seed,
throw a little fertilizer on it, and just leave it alone.
And don't you know, don't try to close the deal
with a kid who's freaking out or whatever. Just let
it rest. Something like that. Just I don't know how

(06:43):
it'd phrase it exactly. Give me a minute, I could
probably come up with it.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
But it was interesting to have, you know, hear my
dad say it. With me there and then I've got
one from my mind was procrastination. I just I don't
I wouldn't want to pass that on to my kids,
and I have to one of them, but not the
other one. So that's cool, Katie. Since you're planning to
have a family, what trade of years would you not
like to pass along?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I would say my anxiety or my lack of ability
to identify what's in my control, Like I tend to
worry about things that I can't do anything about.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah, I was going to bring that up on the air.
I was interesting with a very big group of people
and like the weather conditions getting worse, there the different
levels of being worried about it, given that the result
is going to be the same either way, the person
that worries zero about it or the person that is

(07:38):
and I'm not going to mention any names, infinitely worried
about it, like to a really high point, the result
will be the same way, the same either way, which
is very interesting about worry and.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
The challenge in front of you will be the same.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Yeah, and not to be too much of a downer.
Is like my son who's got a variety of issues.
He said, I don't want to pass along my OCD,
which was Michael, anything you don't want to pass along
to your cats?

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Done? No, Maybe jealousy sometimes you get jealous of others
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Oh, a little bit envious. Interesting, that's a good one man. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Oh, speaking of cats, Michael, for what it's worth, our
daughter brought her cats with her and they have been
were in my home.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
For gosh, when did she get here? I know there's
an s on there, is it? Two or fifteen?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Two?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Two cats, brothers, very very cute little fellas.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm at least provisionally, I'm not on team cat like
versus dog. But I had a lot of fun with
the cats, really enjoyed their company fellas.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
And then so one more card and this will be
the end of the One More Thing podcast for today.
The question was have you ever shoplifted? And there are
only two people that had in our big group. I
never have. Maybe we answered some questions here, Michael, have
you ever shoplifted?

Speaker 3 (09:03):
No, Katie, No on accident, but no on accident. Yeah,
I walked out of it. I walked out of a
target with a parasun glasses on my head and when
I got realized it, drove back, returned them, got a
crazy look.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
That's sent in mind. It is. Yes, absolutely, as a kid,
I fell under the sway of some older boys who
were not a good influence at all. I was probably
eight years old, I might have been nine something like that,
and there's some of the neighborhood boys and they kind
of adopted me and that's what they're doing, and I'm like,
all right. It was a good learning experience, though it

(09:38):
honestly was because the because we got busted because we
were stupid kids, and the whatever you call the security
guy at the stag prevention Uh, yeah, exactly, that's the
term I was looking for, chewed us out. I mean,
like really till there were tears. And then mom and
dad came and it was like oh And at that

(09:59):
young age, I hadn't fully appreciated that I am a
extension of my parents and my siblings and my family.
And we have a joke I probably shouldn't do the
accent we do it in but as our kids embark
on something, they will say to each other, we will
say to them, bring pot pride to family. And it

(10:21):
helped me really appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good thing. It
didn't happen in you know, modern California up until a
month ago, that nobody would have busted you, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Just all right, could Yeah, built a career as a criminal,
probably a very successful career. So one more thought on
the hot sauce thing. While I do not find any
joy in seeing who can endure the most pain to
their nerve endings in their mouth, the idea of trying
to maintain your cool and like speak coherently while you

(10:51):
are dealing with the hot sauce that is very funny.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why. Yeah, that's why that
show is funny. Just google the Shack episode, watch it.
So on the did you shoplift? Two people in the
group of everybody said yes. My one niece said yes,
and we're all shocked, and and she said, yeah, she
kind of does it for fun. And I have a
friend who, like super successful. It's a very smart person

(11:15):
who who went through a big shoplifting phase in their
twenties and it was just the thrill of it. That
wasn't stuff they needed or anything. They got like a
thrill out of it. It's like people who lie for
the thrill of it or whatever. So I've never had that.
But then my dad shockingly said I did once. I
did once, And it was like, for some reason, my dad,

(11:35):
now that he's eighty seven, tell stories that he's never
told ever in his life. And I don't know if
he didn't think we could handle it or what, but
he tells stories now that we're like my brothers and
I are always like where, why were you holding onto
this your whole life?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Right? I had that experience with my eighty four year
old dad this past summer. He was in the Air
Force during the Vietnam War and he got out in
the early seventies, and he explained because he'd quote unquote
explained why to me earlier in my life, but he'd
left out like a lot of it, which was he
was fully cognizant of how dishonest the Department of Defense

(12:15):
and the White House were being about the war and.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
He hated it. Wow, that's interesting.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
And he'd never uttered a word of that to me.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
That is interesting. Yeah, So my dad says I did once,
and we're all like what. Because my dad is super honest,
law and order guy, which I really appreciate, And he said, Yeah,
I was in the army and I was working KP
in the kitchen and I stole something out of the
kitchen and took it back to my room, and I

(12:44):
felt so guilty about it. The next day I never
stole anything again. We said, what did you take? Hey,
here it comes a gallon jar of olives.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, one of the great pleasures in life.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
What the freak are you gonna do with a gallon
of olives? You're one thing you steal in your whole life.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
You're gonna sit back and enjoy those What you're gonna
do of olives?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Long day in the kitchen? You canna pop a little olive?

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Oh my god, I guess that's part of the hole.
You grow up without electricity or indoor plumbing thing, you know,
the joy of an olive may have been pretty exciting
for that part.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
It's like when I read Tom Sawyer to the kids,
they are like, why are they getting so excited about
an apple? Well, they didn't have apple. I guess that's
one of was my dad a jar of olives stolen
Army olives. The guy that was with him stole a
half gallon of ice cream and stuck it under his shirt.
On on the way back to the barracks, they got
stopped and had to stand in the hot sun for

(13:47):
a while, and that ice cream started to melt and
he became one big wet stain of ice cream. I
don't know, I didn't ask for My dad must have
stashed the gallon jar of olives, because that's not easy
to e'd either.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Oh, oh, of all, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
No, surely you can't suit case of gallon jar of olives,
not with that attitude. You can't.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Okay, ship, you see what I put up with? Well,
I guess that's it.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh and and all Back
