If you're listening to the Jack and Niki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WVQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Let's turn our attention now to something quite shocking. Nicki
Drake Yes and discovery she made about one of her friends.
We'd like to share with you and then find out
if you guys are actually guilty of this same transgression.
As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I think transgression.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, I think this is really an affront. Okay, So
Nikki tells the story here.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I was on the phone with a friend, a friend,
and uh, it was a video call. I was getting ready,
doing my little like morning routine, and is a day
where I was just staying at home, you know. We
end just relaxing and I start putting my deodorant on
and she's like, well, where are you going?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I was like nowhere?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
She said, why are you putting deodoran on? And I'm like,
because I put the odoran on every day and I
don't want to smell. She's like, oh, I don't wear
deodorant when I'm just staying around the house.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Really that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Does she live alone?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Married?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh boy?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well that's a whole other thing than isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
So I was like, well, what does your fill in
the blank person here do and she's like, oh, yeah,
he's She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
He may he may or he may not. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And I was like, what, wait, what are we talking
about her husband?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Her husband wearing deodorant okay, yeah, or her spouse. And
I was just like, okay, what's well, how do you
not know if they're wearing deodorant around the house or not.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
She's like, I don't know. I don't smell his armpits.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
And I'm like, okay, so they both, I guess, don't
wear deodorant on the weekends that they're just staying at home.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Are you thinking of stinking?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So I was like that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I was like, I don't think I've ever purposefully decided, Hey,
I'm just staying home today, I'm not gonna wear the odorant.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You know, the couple that stinks together stays together. I
think this is how the saying goes. This is surprising
to me. It's interesting that she doesn't wear the odorant.
She doesn't know if her husband wears thedoran or not. Hmm, yeah,
that's that's confusing.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It is.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I'm trying to measure my language here because you know,
generally speaking married people, when you're together at home on
the weekends, these are opportunity times. So I would think
you would know if somebody's not wearing deodorant. I guess
(02:55):
would be the cleanest way that I could express what
I'm trying to say here on a g rated radio show.
You follow what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I follow what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, okay, so you obviously wear the odor because you
were seen putting that deodorant on. Yeah. The actor who
plays your husband, Dave, Yeah, he wears the odorant on
the weekends. Or I assume I.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Don't smell him stinking, so I assume he is wearing
his deodor.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You've never actually spotted him putting it on.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
No, I don't watch him during his morning all right,
all right.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I'm not stalking in the background peeking around corners.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But you assume that he does. Yeah, eight eight eight
seven seven seven sixty six forty. You can text us
as well. It's a question of hygiene. Do you wear
deodorant around the house when you're not leaving the house
on your days off on weekends? Yeah? Also, are you marrying?
Is somebody in the house with you who would potentially
(03:47):
have to suffer because of your laziness and your decisions
that you've made. I think if you are, I'll just
say this, If I'm home alone, I have deodorant on.
I don't ever want to s all myself, right, I
wouldn't want to walk around my house, right and you're,
you know, reaching up into the cabinet for something, and
(04:08):
you go, you get a whiff and you're like, oh,
I stink. I don't want that to happen. I don't
want to smell myself. It's disgusting. Now, I certainly don't
want Jessica to smell me. So, uh, you know, I'm
going to be very clean at all times. Okay, Yeah,
tell us what is your hygiene policy around the house? Also,
are you so low or do you have somebody there
(04:29):
who has to deal with the consequences?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, married, roommate, whatever, I mean, if anybody else is
in that house, your kids, whatever, mm hmm. Everybody has
to deal with dog with your smell. All right, I
see some phone lines ring, and we'll talk to you next.
Did she give a reason, by the way, for why
she doesn't do this, because it's not very difficult or
(04:53):
time consuming. It's not like shaving your legs or something.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
No. She When I was like, really, you don't, She's like, no,
I'm just sitting around. I don't have anything planned for
the day. I'm just gonna be lounging.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And I'm like, okay. I didn't really ask more after
that because I was like, uh.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Okay, you're afraid the friendship would fall apart right in
front of you if you continued to probe. Yeah, yeah, okay,
I mean again, I know I know people who don't
like I don't shave a lot on the weekends, Like
I'll shave on Friday and then not again until Sunday night.
But it's just a little stubble that pops in, and
I have a beard anyway, so it's just cheek and
next double.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Right, you're just shaving at that point, right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, that's right now, Jessica. And I don't know if
she wants me discussing her personal hygiene on the radio,
but just Jessica's got that great farm girl work ethic.
She's she's shaving the legs every day, the armpits. I
mean every single day. There's not a day off for that.
She is baby smooth at all times, which is one
of the things I love about her. God bless her.
(05:50):
But I do know women who don't shave their legs
on weekends. And I know women who don't shave their
legs in the wintertime.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I shave less than the winter time for sure, walk
around like wear wolf sometimes in the wintertime.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah. Yeah, so now, And the reason, by the way,
I tossed in the caveat there and it was explaining
Jessica's personal hygiene is I didn't want to say, well,
you know, I know women who do this, who don't
shaven thing, and people go always talking about jessicause she's
Jessica's a Sasquatch. I don't want people to think that
about her, right, Okay, So, Nikki, now that I've tossed
in all of these qualifiers, would you like to tell
(06:24):
us what we're seeing on the text line.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's a mix.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Surprisingly, there's some people being like married family of five,
I put my kids, I make my kids put deodorant
on and brush their teeth, even if they're staying in
Jammy's all day.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, yeah, you gotta brush your teeth. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And then somebody else texted in, I'm shocked that people
wear deodorant while at home. I don't wear deodorant at home,
but I shower once a day since I have a roommate.
So if you didn't have a roommate, you wouldn't be
showering once today.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
How about this, skip the shower and put on some deodorant?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh gosh, no, do both?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
No, if it's or the other. No, I agree if
it should be both, but if it's one or the other, yeah,
I mean, if you're willing to put in the effort
to shower, but then you get out of that shower
and you don't roll on a stick of the odorant,
what's the problem. Why would you shower and not put
on deodorant?
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't understand why no deodorant, Like.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Isn't the odorant part of your post shower routine?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That just somebody else texts it in.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
It's a habit to put on deodorant immediately after a
shower on weekends, weekdays and every day is habit.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's hard.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
So when that's why when I come in here and
I'm like, Jack, I forgot my deodorant, I'm panicking because, like,
what happened to my routine?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right? Brush your teeth? But the right.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, it's just part of yeah, part of the habit.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That's right. Okay. Any other text you want to get
to before I toss this call on here?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
When you smell yourself, it's too late.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's true, it's fair. Yeah, all right, you're on the
Jack and Nikki Show. What do you got for us?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All day?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Every day I carried in my car.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I put it on when I get out of the showers.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
No way I'm going without it.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
The odorant all day or day.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, that is a good policy.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
At home, in the car, at the office, deodorant. Everywhere
you go. You're surrounded by the odorant.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Absolutely, I Am not going to be a stink you on.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now. Are you married?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay? And your husband, what's his policy?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Same things? Oh, he hasn't carried in his car and
he has it to work.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, as soon as he gets up in.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
The morning, when he gets out of shower, you.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Put it on.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, all right, so are you like us, you're kind
of bewildered by Nicky's friend in this weird Hey, I
don't put on theodorant on the weekend's policy.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Absolutely, I would have to question that one.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Would you suggest that maybe it's time for Nikki to
re evaluate this friendship?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I would make some strong suggestions to keep a going.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
You Yeah, yeah, I think it's a time for education,
like this is a learning moment from my friend.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, at the very least, Nikki, don't visit her on
the weekends, right, yeah, yeah, make sure all of your
get togethers are through the week. Okay, Christmas is coming off.
You know you can do subtle hints and.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Ye oh that's true, even like the body wipes and stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Oh this is good.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, this woman must be really disgusting meek. He's going
to give her a basket of the odor and body wipes.
Merry Christmas. Stick. But all right, thanks for the call,
you too, by all right, tell you what, let me
toss in another wrinkle on this, then we'll wrap this up.
All right, let me throw this out here. We'll come
back and get your thoughts on it. Okay, okay, while
we're talking, hygiene. We talked about deodorant. We covered these bases.
(09:36):
Let me ask you this, how often do you change
you out of your lounge wear that you wear around
your house, like in evenings on weekends, Like I have
like pajama bottoms and a T shirt that I always
throw on. How often do you do you switch out
of those?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You mean like in one day?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No, I mean like do you wear a multiple days?
Because like if i'm if i'm, I'm not leaving the
house and I only put them on after I take
a shower. Yeah, I take shower, I put on my
T shirt, my pajama bottoms, I lounge around watch TV.
I might have it on for a couple of hours
before I go to bed. Well, I might put that
back on the next day because I did nothing. I
didn't even sweat it, and I didn't stink, I didn't
(10:17):
go outside. How many days do you go.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
With that though you didn't poop your pants.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Earlier in the show, we got into a big conversation
about Nikki's friend who doesn't wear deodorant on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Right, yes, right, My friends are unique.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That's one way I think the state refers to them
as special. So now we have another question of hygiene.
This time around, it's towel maintenance. Okay, this came in
at the very end of our conversation that we were
having about hygiene, and it was too late. We couldn't
(10:55):
get to it. But we have a minute now, and
I thought it's something that is worthy of discussion on
a radio show on a fifty thousand watt station that
covers parts of three states. I think you can see
the importance of this topic and how it affects people's lives,
and why it should be rushed to air. Studio lines
are open text lines too. Eight eight eight seven seven
(11:18):
seven sixty six forty says this text or how many
times do you use the same towel after showering? My
wife says no more than two times. I say a
week you're clean after a shower. Nikki Drake your witness,
That is.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
A good question. I go off.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Of just the towel texture and towel smell and towel
I don't know, I don't rule.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I appreciate the honesty, I really do.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, some of our towels they seem to only be
able to be used a few times.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And then you're like, I need a new towel. Yeah,
So I just kind of go off of that. I'm
a big texture person generally speaking.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
How long do you go on average?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Do you think four to five days?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay, yeah, all right, so you're you're kind of on
board with this this philosophy. Yeah, yeah, as opposed to
the wife. Yeah, very intriguing, very intriguing. Now I agree
with everything you're saying. By the way, okay, the texture
of the smell the whole thing, because the problem with
the towel is, yeah, you are clean, because you know
you've just gotten out of the shower when you wipe
(12:28):
down with it, But the towel then hangs up and
it's damp and then it can.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Milde and if it doesn't dry properly, then you've got
to swap it out sooner.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It's right, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, and uh, and you don't want to start wiping
down with a towel and go this towel sticks, right,
this is going to make me smell worse. I just
got out of the shower. Yeah, so I think you
kind of have to play it by towel now wash clothes, well,
obviously that's a complete pushed into unspeakable crevices. They have
to be tossed out every time. Yes, not just washed,
but burned. They have to be taken into the yard.
(13:00):
You have to have a fire pit behind your house
and burn your washballs after every shower. Everybody knows that.
But here's I think something plays into this that is
being overlooked, and I think it's with reusing a towel,
reusing clothing, trying to stretch things out. I think that
(13:21):
might be more common with people who grew up poor,
because you're trying to stretch your dollar. You're used to
not having things, and like, for example, I grew up poor,
and so our policy was, okay, you get one of these,
it's probably used, you probably didn't get it new, and
if you break it, you're not getting another one. And
(13:42):
so for that reason, I am very careful my whole
life about everything I have. I take meticulous care of
my vehicles, of the motorcycle, of my house, everything I
have because I never had a chance to have another one.
And I think that goes all the way down to
how often I wash my towels, because probably the more
you wash the towel, the more quickly it's going to
(14:04):
deteriorate and you're gonna have to get another towel.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
That's why I hang dry almost all of my clothing,
right yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Right there, you got. I think what I'm saying sounds
crazy to you, then.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, it doesn't sound crazy, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I think there's something to that. I really do, because
I remember at one point Jessica and I had been
married for a few years and I was clinging to
something I don't know what it was, and she was like,
you know, you can buy another one of those, and
I went, what.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Another the Jack and Nikki Show two w v a Q.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Let's talk about how you are cheap, because people are
cheap in many ways, and what we want to know
is what you're doing that makes people say you're cheap
skate perhaps, or that you know, you're absolutely nuts. And
I wanted to start with something that we got yesterday.
(14:56):
Somebody texted in here and said that they wash and
reuse ziplock bags.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yes, and I will sometimes do this.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, you admitted to this, you'll wash and reuse the
zip lock bags. And I remember off the air you
went into I thought a surprisingly passionate speech about the
quality of some of these ziplock bags.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yes, I uh if I'm going to be able to
splurge on name brand zip block bags and uh, you know,
Hepty's good zip block is also good.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
But the I can't I don't know if it's a
Hefty one that I have right now.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
But they have like a flat bottom on them, you
know what I'm talking about, like, instead of just having
like a regular zip blocky.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Okay, so they're flat on the bottom.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, and they zip on top instead of squeezing the
things together.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Those are very high quality bottom bags.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Sure, yeah, we all know this. We've all heard the jingle. Okay,
we know how it works.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
But they been they've been very high quality, and I
can wash them a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well. This is interesting because sometimes you get something that
is disposable, but it seems like the quality is so
good you hate to just use it once and throw
it away.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yes, that's how I've become with these Hefty bags.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Find yourself for insing things out. It's humiliating, all right. Texts. Uh,
I go to the library. I don't. I don't actually
buy books. I just go get them from the library
and read them.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Well, yeah, that's a great thing to do.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It saves money. But I'm sure some people call you cheap. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
The library also you can get free audiobooks. They've got
a lot of digital stuff. You should go visit your
local library. I do love the Morgantown Library.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Okay, well that's very nice to get drake. Okay, let's
see what else are we getting here? Buy in bulk?
Well yeah, sure, I mean again, these are these are
obvious things. I'm looking for something that reeks of mental illness. Now.
I gave an example yesterday. I'm I have a hard
time throwing away like fast food napkins, fast food condiments
(16:59):
Like if I go and I get a buck of
packets of ketchup or sweet and sour sauce or honey mustard, yeah,
and I only use one of them, and I have
a couple left. I will actually take those home and
put them in the refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, who doesn't.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't know is that normal? Do people do that?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
We have ziploc bags in the refrigerator separating all those,
and we have like the taco sauce Taco bell sauce packets,
we have those in another bag in the pantry because
they don't have to be in the fridge, you know.
And I guess the ketchup ones don't either, But all right,
I do my I did have a friend admit to
me yesterday because I was talking to my friends about this,
(17:37):
and she has trouble getting rid of underwear.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Okay, and now we're getting somewhere. Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It's not like you can't go out and buy.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
New underwear, right right, right, yeah, but for some reason
she is currently having the issue of purging her underwear
drawer and getting rid of some of her underwear.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And she doesn't know why. There's a mental block.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Is she attack to the particular underpants and doesn't want
to throw them out. I'll do that with shirts.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I do have that with shirts.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah I can't get rid of Yeah, you're never going
to wear that. Yeah, but yeah I've had this shirt
for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, pretty passion.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
All right? Eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six
forty call or text and let us know ways you
are cheap specifically, and again we've got the basic stuff,
you know, buying in bolt, going to the library. I
want to hear from some maniac using their underpants as
a coffee strainer because they're trying to save money. That's
what I'm looking for. Here, let's go to Nicky Drake
(18:33):
for a taste from the text line, what can you
tell us?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Oh my goodness, Do I start with the gross or
the grocer?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Here's an easy one. I don't go to the movies.
I wait until it streams for free.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Uh you know what? I will do that depending on.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
The movie, Depending on the movie.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yes, yeah. Sometimes it's something that I'm really wanting to
see and I don't want to wait. And then sometimes
I'm like, that's interesting, but you know it'll be streaming
streaming about a month. I'll just wait. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
There's another one that this one seems very common.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
When I buy the lunch meat from the store that
comes in the container, then I just wash and reuse
that container.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yes, yes, that's right. And you know there are some
Chinese places that give you a really nice quality plastic container.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yes they do.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
How many of those do you have right now?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
We're down to our last one because we've burned through
a few, so it's time for takeout again.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I try to hoard them in. Jessica's like, stop bringing these.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Oh no, we use them until they go bad.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well that's my plan to see we already have plenty
of storage containers. Jessica's like, I've told we have enough
ways to store food. We don't have to keep doing this.
And then, because of my mental block, I'm going, but
look at the quality construction, Jessica, look at this nice
plastic and look at the steal and she's like, I
get it, Yeah I do, but look and she opens
the doors like, there's a thousand of them in here,
(19:49):
don't we don't need another one? Okay that has to
go in the garbage.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Do Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
I use We were talking about being attached to old
T shirts and not getting rid of them.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I use old T shirts as rags for cleaning.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I have some some stuff in the
garage that, yeah, you can wipe down. You gotta be
careful what you're wiping the scratch the paint. Oh yeah,
you got to have a microfiber towel if you're on paint.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
If you're on paint. Yeah, yeah, there's some of like
the old T shirts.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
They work really well on like glass and mirrors when
you're washing those down. Yeah, so I found that less streaks.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Sure, this one's very gross.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Are you ready ready? I re wear workout clothes to
save water. It's gross, but I'm just going to sweat
in them again.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Okay, are you working out around other people? Are you
working out alone at your house? Are you in your garage?
Do you have a gross? Right?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
But there's so much bacteria, that's true, that's so much bacteria.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But if you're I assume they're around people, because if
you're working out at home and you're doing this, well,
you may as well just be naked when you work out. Sure,
I mean right, there's no one to witness. Yeah, but
nobody sees it.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I would be so uncomfortable even if I'm home.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's really gonna motivate you to get in shape, right.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, re wearing workout clothes, we talked about re wearing
like lounge pants. Yeah, we're just wearing them for a
couple hours and the next day you wear them for
a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
But workout clothes too much sweating.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, there's no question about that. Because yesterday when we
talked about the lounge pant as it is known. Yeah,
if you go outside, even if you just walk outside,
get down to get the mail, you come back, you've
got that outdoor smell. Pants have to go imagine working
out in them. Imagine that. And now we get to
some of the more disturbing reactions to this. This one
(21:46):
doesn't seem too bad to me. I says this texture.
I cut open tubes and containers to get the last
of whatever the product is that I'm using.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, that's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's not too bad. I've I've done that with hand lotion.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I've done that with my I cream.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, very expensive.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, because you got the hand loation pump and then
for a while, unscrew it and you pull it out
and then you you know, you wipe the stem on
your hand.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Have you seen it's popped up in like my little
Amazon ads on various apps, there's these little products that
you can buy to flip the containers over and they
become squeeze bottles. But then they have like a little
stand that you can settlement, so you can anything pump
that you can get the last.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Of it out of.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh I like that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I haven't tried them. I haven't bottom to try them yet.
I wonder if anybody has purchased those. M hum, let
me know if they work.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yes, yes, I would like to get in on that
sweet sweet action, right, Yeah, let me go back to
This is probably the most disturbing thing we've seen, and
I probably should end with it, but it's in front
of me now, so here you go. Okay, Text, my
aunt and her partner only flush the toilet when they
go number two stop. This apparently saves water and helps
(22:55):
lower their water bill. Well, you know there is a
saying for that, Nikki Drake, if you're probably familiar with
do you know the saying.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
If it's yellow, let it mellow, If it's brown, flush
it down.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That is correct. Yes, that is correct, Nikki, And I'm
glad you thought of it so I didn't have to
say it, so you can be the gross one this morning. Okay, Yes,
free change.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Great. I just saw something on the text line that
might be illegal.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
If I buy something pricey and the next week it
goes on sale, I buy it again, but then return
the new one with the old.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Receipt, Well, I don't know if it's illegal, but at
it's unethical at the very least.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Some sort of fraud movie.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, eventually he's not supposed to be doing that. Yeah, okay. Text.
When I was in high school working at McDonald's, I
would wear my uniform multiple times before washing it, more
because I was lazy than just saving money all around
for your order. Sir, Hi, you were on the Jack
and Nikki show, which you got for us.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Yes, I was calling in about uh cheap. Yes I'm
not cheap, but I had a husband and that was
so cheap.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
How cheap was he?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
He?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Let me tell you this is gross.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He used to reuse his gentle flows reuss now and
I would find gentle flows all over my house, up
on the cabinet and at the side of his dad.
He would reuse that.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And you guys got a divorce.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Oh no, May God rest his and he passed away.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Well, thank you, but.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I missed him every day in my life and would
love to see the dental floss again.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well, I was going to ask you, are you still
finding dental floss around the house, And you're like, wow,
I can't believe he flost in here.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
No, we have moved and I had got rid of
a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Well, if you moved and continued to find dental floss
would be really weird, wouldn't it.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, that would be I'd get scared.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You can call it call in tomorrow when we do
Mysteries of the Unexplained. Right, thanks for the call, ma'am.
You're welcome YouTube. Bye bye, lovely lovely woman.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
All right, I know you got something that just dropped
your drawer over there.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yes, okay, this came in on the text line. Okay,
all right, uh money saving hack. So this is kind
of genius.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Use toilet seat liners to blot excess oil off my
face because they're made of the same tissue that the
oil blotters are made out of from the makeup distributors.
Obviously use it, but not you know, before us on
the toilet. You don't use it after.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So this person goes into the restroom, they blot their
face their face with a toilet seat liner, and then
they put it on the toilet and use it. Yeah,
you can do that duel use.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yes, you could also do that, because then that's also
getting dual use. But I'm sure you could probably buy
the liners, just like from wherever.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I'm sitting on my own face grease. All right, we're
running out of time. You are on the jacket, Nikisha,
what do you have for us? You there?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I have a sister in law.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
She makes you reuse the paper plates, and if she
sees you throw them in the trash, she'll pull them
out and wash up and make us use the paper plates.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Oh my gosh, I love it in the trash.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I love it. That's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Does it's no, it's horrible.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
I and they're they're rich, you know, they like they
have a lot of money, so you would never think that.
We went over to their house one time and I
threw my paper plate in the trash and she pulled
it out, and I was like, what are you doing.
She's like, oh, we we use these.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
That's why they're rich. Yeah, they're not foolishly squandering money
on new paper plates.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Why doesn't she just go get some fiesta wear or something, indeed,
actual plates if she's going to take the trouble to
wash them.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Thanks for the call. We appreciate it, all right. You
know what's interesting about that the thrifty thing, is it
necessarily tied to how much money you have. As we
discussed yesterday, maybe you grew up poor and that's just
your mindset. You just save and hoard and hang on
to everything because you know, that's that's how you grew up.
Who was it, Oh, there's a story coming to me.
(27:12):
There's a a It was some do it some. It
was some celebrity who I think it was maybe Bob
Hope who he was a multi millionaire. At one point,
he was the largest landowner in the state of California.
He was incredibly wealthy as you can imagine, and he
would still use coupons and go to fast food restaurants.
(27:35):
He'd go through the drive room and be like, I'm
saving thirty cents off this whopper, and they're like, you know,
you're the wealthiest man in California, right. So I think
it's just a mindset sometimes
If you're listening to the Jack and Niki Show podcast
everywhere you get your podcasts and at WVQ dot com.
Joined Jack and Nicky Live weekday mornings from six to
ten on one O two WVAQ.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Let's turn our attention now to something quite shocking. Nicki
Drake Yes and discovery she made about one of her friends.
We'd like to share with you and then find out
if you guys are actually guilty of this same transgression.
As far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I think transgression.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, I think this is really an affront. Okay, So
Nikki tells the story here.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I was on the phone with a friend, a friend,
and uh, it was a video call. I was getting ready,
doing my little like morning routine, and is a day
where I was just staying at home, you know. We
end just relaxing and I start putting my deodorant on
and she's like, well, where are you going?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I was like nowhere?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
She said, why are you putting deodoran on? And I'm like,
because I put the odoran on every day and I
don't want to smell. She's like, oh, I don't wear
deodorant when I'm just staying around the house.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Really that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Does she live alone?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Married?
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh boy?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Well that's a whole other thing than isn't it.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
So I was like, well, what does your fill in
the blank person here do and she's like, oh, yeah,
he's She's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
He may he may or he may not. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
And I was like, what, wait, what are we talking
about her husband?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Her husband wearing deodorant okay, yeah, or her spouse. And
I was just like, okay, what's well, how do you
not know if they're wearing deodorant around the house or not.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
She's like, I don't know. I don't smell his armpits.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
And I'm like, okay, so they both, I guess, don't
wear deodorant on the weekends that they're just staying at home.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Are you thinking of stinking?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
So I was like that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
I was like, I don't think I've ever purposefully decided, Hey,
I'm just staying home today, I'm not gonna wear the odorant.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
You know, the couple that stinks together stays together. I
think this is how the saying goes. This is surprising
to me. It's interesting that she doesn't wear the odorant.
She doesn't know if her husband wears thedoran or not. Hmm, yeah,
that's that's confusing.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It is.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I'm trying to measure my language here because you know,
generally speaking married people, when you're together at home on
the weekends, these are opportunity times. So I would think
you would know if somebody's not wearing deodorant. I guess
(02:55):
would be the cleanest way that I could express what
I'm trying to say here on a g rated radio show.
You follow what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I follow what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, okay, so you obviously wear the odor because you
were seen putting that deodorant on. Yeah. The actor who
plays your husband, Dave, Yeah, he wears the odorant on
the weekends. Or I assume I.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Don't smell him stinking, so I assume he is wearing
his deodor.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
You've never actually spotted him putting it on.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
No, I don't watch him during his morning all right,
all right.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
I'm not stalking in the background peeking around corners.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
But you assume that he does. Yeah, eight eight eight
seven seven seven sixty six forty. You can text us
as well. It's a question of hygiene. Do you wear
deodorant around the house when you're not leaving the house
on your days off on weekends? Yeah? Also, are you marrying?
Is somebody in the house with you who would potentially
(03:47):
have to suffer because of your laziness and your decisions
that you've made. I think if you are, I'll just
say this, If I'm home alone, I have deodorant on.
I don't ever want to s all myself, right, I
wouldn't want to walk around my house, right and you're,
you know, reaching up into the cabinet for something, and
(04:08):
you go, you get a whiff and you're like, oh,
I stink. I don't want that to happen. I don't
want to smell myself. It's disgusting. Now, I certainly don't
want Jessica to smell me. So, uh, you know, I'm
going to be very clean at all times. Okay, Yeah,
tell us what is your hygiene policy around the house? Also,
are you so low or do you have somebody there
(04:29):
who has to deal with the consequences?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, married, roommate, whatever, I mean, if anybody else is
in that house, your kids, whatever, mm hmm. Everybody has
to deal with dog with your smell. All right, I
see some phone lines ring, and we'll talk to you next.
Did she give a reason, by the way, for why
she doesn't do this, because it's not very difficult or
(04:53):
time consuming. It's not like shaving your legs or something.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
No. She When I was like, really, you don't, She's like, no,
I'm just sitting around. I don't have anything planned for
the day. I'm just gonna be lounging.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And I'm like, okay. I didn't really ask more after
that because I was like, uh.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Okay, you're afraid the friendship would fall apart right in
front of you if you continued to probe. Yeah, yeah, okay,
I mean again, I know I know people who don't
like I don't shave a lot on the weekends, Like
I'll shave on Friday and then not again until Sunday night.
But it's just a little stubble that pops in, and
I have a beard anyway, so it's just cheek and
next double.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Right, you're just shaving at that point, right.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, that's right now, Jessica. And I don't know if
she wants me discussing her personal hygiene on the radio,
but just Jessica's got that great farm girl work ethic.
She's she's shaving the legs every day, the armpits. I
mean every single day. There's not a day off for that.
She is baby smooth at all times, which is one
of the things I love about her. God bless her.
(05:50):
But I do know women who don't shave their legs
on weekends. And I know women who don't shave their
legs in the wintertime.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I shave less than the winter time for sure, walk
around like wear wolf sometimes in the wintertime.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah. Yeah, so now, And the reason, by the way,
I tossed in the caveat there and it was explaining
Jessica's personal hygiene is I didn't want to say, well,
you know, I know women who do this, who don't
shaven thing, and people go always talking about jessicause she's
Jessica's a Sasquatch. I don't want people to think that
about her, right, Okay, So, Nikki, now that I've tossed
in all of these qualifiers, would you like to tell
(06:24):
us what we're seeing on the text line.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
It's a mix.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Surprisingly, there's some people being like married family of five,
I put my kids, I make my kids put deodorant
on and brush their teeth, even if they're staying in
Jammy's all day.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, yeah, you gotta brush your teeth. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
And then somebody else texted in, I'm shocked that people
wear deodorant while at home. I don't wear deodorant at home,
but I shower once a day since I have a roommate.
So if you didn't have a roommate, you wouldn't be
showering once today.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
How about this, skip the shower and put on some deodorant?
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Oh gosh, no, do both?
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
No, if it's or the other. No, I agree if
it should be both, but if it's one or the other, yeah,
I mean, if you're willing to put in the effort
to shower, but then you get out of that shower
and you don't roll on a stick of the odorant,
what's the problem. Why would you shower and not put
on deodorant?
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't understand why no deodorant, Like.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Isn't the odorant part of your post shower routine?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
That just somebody else texts it in.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
It's a habit to put on deodorant immediately after a
shower on weekends, weekdays and every day is habit.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's hard.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
So when that's why when I come in here and
I'm like, Jack, I forgot my deodorant, I'm panicking because, like,
what happened to my routine?
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Right? Brush your teeth? But the right.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, it's just part of yeah, part of the habit.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
That's right. Okay. Any other text you want to get
to before I toss this call on here?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
When you smell yourself, it's too late.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's true, it's fair. Yeah, all right, you're on the
Jack and Nikki Show. What do you got for us?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All day?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Every day I carried in my car.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I put it on when I get out of the showers.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
No way I'm going without it.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
The odorant all day or day.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, that is a good policy.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
At home, in the car, at the office, deodorant. Everywhere
you go. You're surrounded by the odorant.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Absolutely, I Am not going to be a stink you on.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Now. Are you married?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Okay? And your husband, what's his policy?
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Same things? Oh, he hasn't carried in his car and
he has it to work.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, as soon as he gets up in.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
The morning, when he gets out of shower, you.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Put it on.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, all right, so are you like us, you're kind
of bewildered by Nicky's friend in this weird Hey, I
don't put on theodorant on the weekend's policy.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Absolutely, I would have to question that one.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Would you suggest that maybe it's time for Nikki to
re evaluate this friendship?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I would make some strong suggestions to keep a going.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
You Yeah, yeah, I think it's a time for education,
like this is a learning moment from my friend.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Well, at the very least, Nikki, don't visit her on
the weekends, right, yeah, yeah, make sure all of your
get togethers are through the week. Okay, Christmas is coming off.
You know you can do subtle hints and.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Ye oh that's true, even like the body wipes and stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Oh this is good.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, this woman must be really disgusting meek. He's going
to give her a basket of the odor and body wipes.
Merry Christmas. Stick. But all right, thanks for the call,
you too, by all right, tell you what, let me
toss in another wrinkle on this, then we'll wrap this up.
All right, let me throw this out here. We'll come
back and get your thoughts on it. Okay, okay, while
we're talking, hygiene. We talked about deodorant. We covered these bases.
(09:36):
Let me ask you this, how often do you change
you out of your lounge wear that you wear around
your house, like in evenings on weekends, Like I have
like pajama bottoms and a T shirt that I always
throw on. How often do you do you switch out
of those?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You mean like in one day?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
No, I mean like do you wear a multiple days?
Because like if i'm if i'm, I'm not leaving the
house and I only put them on after I take
a shower. Yeah, I take shower, I put on my
T shirt, my pajama bottoms, I lounge around watch TV.
I might have it on for a couple of hours
before I go to bed. Well, I might put that
back on the next day because I did nothing. I
didn't even sweat it, and I didn't stink, I didn't
(10:17):
go outside. How many days do you go.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
With that though you didn't poop your pants.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Earlier in the show, we got into a big conversation
about Nikki's friend who doesn't wear deodorant on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Right, yes, right, My friends are unique.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That's one way I think the state refers to them
as special. So now we have another question of hygiene.
This time around, it's towel maintenance. Okay, this came in
at the very end of our conversation that we were
having about hygiene, and it was too late. We couldn't
(10:55):
get to it. But we have a minute now, and
I thought it's something that is worthy of discussion on
a radio show on a fifty thousand watt station that
covers parts of three states. I think you can see
the importance of this topic and how it affects people's lives,
and why it should be rushed to air. Studio lines
are open text lines too. Eight eight eight seven seven
(11:18):
seven sixty six forty says this text or how many
times do you use the same towel after showering? My
wife says no more than two times. I say a
week you're clean after a shower. Nikki Drake your witness,
That is.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
A good question. I go off.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Of just the towel texture and towel smell and towel
I don't know, I don't rule.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I appreciate the honesty, I really do.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, some of our towels they seem to only be
able to be used a few times.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
And then you're like, I need a new towel. Yeah,
So I just kind of go off of that. I'm
a big texture person generally speaking.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
How long do you go on average?
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Do you think four to five days?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Okay, yeah, all right, so you're you're kind of on
board with this this philosophy. Yeah, yeah, as opposed to
the wife. Yeah, very intriguing, very intriguing. Now I agree
with everything you're saying. By the way, okay, the texture
of the smell the whole thing, because the problem with
the towel is, yeah, you are clean, because you know
you've just gotten out of the shower when you wipe
(12:28):
down with it, But the towel then hangs up and
it's damp and then it can.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Milde and if it doesn't dry properly, then you've got
to swap it out sooner.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It's right, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, and uh, and you don't want to start wiping
down with a towel and go this towel sticks, right,
this is going to make me smell worse. I just
got out of the shower. Yeah, so I think you
kind of have to play it by towel now wash clothes, well,
obviously that's a complete pushed into unspeakable crevices. They have
to be tossed out every time. Yes, not just washed,
but burned. They have to be taken into the yard.
(13:00):
You have to have a fire pit behind your house
and burn your washballs after every shower. Everybody knows that.
But here's I think something plays into this that is
being overlooked, and I think it's with reusing a towel,
reusing clothing, trying to stretch things out. I think that
(13:21):
might be more common with people who grew up poor,
because you're trying to stretch your dollar. You're used to
not having things, and like, for example, I grew up poor,
and so our policy was, okay, you get one of these,
it's probably used, you probably didn't get it new, and
if you break it, you're not getting another one. And
(13:42):
so for that reason, I am very careful my whole
life about everything I have. I take meticulous care of
my vehicles, of the motorcycle, of my house, everything I
have because I never had a chance to have another one.
And I think that goes all the way down to
how often I wash my towels, because probably the more
you wash the towel, the more quickly it's going to
(14:04):
deteriorate and you're gonna have to get another towel.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
That's why I hang dry almost all of my clothing,
right yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Right there, you got. I think what I'm saying sounds
crazy to you, then.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
No, it doesn't sound crazy, Okay.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I think there's something to that. I really do, because
I remember at one point Jessica and I had been
married for a few years and I was clinging to
something I don't know what it was, and she was like,
you know, you can buy another one of those, and
I went, what.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Another the Jack and Nikki Show two w v a Q.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Let's talk about how you are cheap, because people are
cheap in many ways, and what we want to know
is what you're doing that makes people say you're cheap
skate perhaps, or that you know, you're absolutely nuts. And
I wanted to start with something that we got yesterday.
(14:56):
Somebody texted in here and said that they wash and
reuse ziplock bags.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yes, and I will sometimes do this.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, you admitted to this, you'll wash and reuse the
zip lock bags. And I remember off the air you
went into I thought a surprisingly passionate speech about the
quality of some of these ziplock bags.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yes, I uh if I'm going to be able to
splurge on name brand zip block bags and uh, you know,
Hepty's good zip block is also good.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
But the I can't I don't know if it's a
Hefty one that I have right now.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
But they have like a flat bottom on them, you
know what I'm talking about, like, instead of just having
like a regular zip blocky.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Okay, so they're flat on the bottom.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Yeah, and they zip on top instead of squeezing the
things together.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Those are very high quality bottom bags.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Sure, yeah, we all know this. We've all heard the jingle. Okay,
we know how it works.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
But they been they've been very high quality, and I
can wash them a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well. This is interesting because sometimes you get something that
is disposable, but it seems like the quality is so
good you hate to just use it once and throw
it away.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yes, that's how I've become with these Hefty bags.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Find yourself for insing things out. It's humiliating, all right. Texts. Uh,
I go to the library. I don't. I don't actually
buy books. I just go get them from the library
and read them.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Well, yeah, that's a great thing to do.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
It saves money. But I'm sure some people call you cheap. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
The library also you can get free audiobooks. They've got
a lot of digital stuff. You should go visit your
local library. I do love the Morgantown Library.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Okay, well that's very nice to get drake. Okay, let's
see what else are we getting here? Buy in bulk?
Well yeah, sure, I mean again, these are these are
obvious things. I'm looking for something that reeks of mental illness. Now.
I gave an example yesterday. I'm I have a hard
time throwing away like fast food napkins, fast food condiments
(16:59):
Like if I go and I get a buck of
packets of ketchup or sweet and sour sauce or honey mustard, yeah,
and I only use one of them, and I have
a couple left. I will actually take those home and
put them in the refrigerator.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, who doesn't.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I don't know is that normal? Do people do that?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
We have ziploc bags in the refrigerator separating all those,
and we have like the taco sauce Taco bell sauce packets,
we have those in another bag in the pantry because
they don't have to be in the fridge, you know.
And I guess the ketchup ones don't either, But all right,
I do my I did have a friend admit to
me yesterday because I was talking to my friends about this,
(17:37):
and she has trouble getting rid of underwear.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Okay, and now we're getting somewhere. Yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It's not like you can't go out and buy.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
New underwear, right right, right, yeah, but for some reason
she is currently having the issue of purging her underwear
drawer and getting rid of some of her underwear.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And she doesn't know why. There's a mental block.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Is she attack to the particular underpants and doesn't want
to throw them out. I'll do that with shirts.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
I do have that with shirts.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah I can't get rid of Yeah, you're never going
to wear that. Yeah, but yeah I've had this shirt
for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, pretty passion.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
All right? Eight eight eight seven seven seven sixty six
forty call or text and let us know ways you
are cheap specifically, and again we've got the basic stuff,
you know, buying in bolt, going to the library. I
want to hear from some maniac using their underpants as
a coffee strainer because they're trying to save money. That's
what I'm looking for. Here, let's go to Nicky Drake
(18:33):
for a taste from the text line, what can you
tell us?
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Oh my goodness, Do I start with the gross or
the grocer?
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Here's an easy one. I don't go to the movies.
I wait until it streams for free.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Uh you know what? I will do that depending on.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
The movie, Depending on the movie.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yes, yeah. Sometimes it's something that I'm really wanting to
see and I don't want to wait. And then sometimes
I'm like, that's interesting, but you know it'll be streaming
streaming about a month. I'll just wait. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
There's another one that this one seems very common.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
When I buy the lunch meat from the store that
comes in the container, then I just wash and reuse
that container.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yes, yes, that's right. And you know there are some
Chinese places that give you a really nice quality plastic container.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yes they do.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
How many of those do you have right now?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
We're down to our last one because we've burned through
a few, so it's time for takeout again.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
I try to hoard them in. Jessica's like, stop bringing these.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Oh no, we use them until they go bad.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Well that's my plan to see we already have plenty
of storage containers. Jessica's like, I've told we have enough
ways to store food. We don't have to keep doing this.
And then, because of my mental block, I'm going, but
look at the quality construction, Jessica, look at this nice
plastic and look at the steal and she's like, I
get it, Yeah I do, but look and she opens
the doors like, there's a thousand of them in here,
(19:49):
don't we don't need another one? Okay that has to
go in the garbage.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Do Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
I use We were talking about being attached to old
T shirts and not getting rid of them.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I use old T shirts as rags for cleaning.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Sure, yeah, yeah, I have some some stuff in the
garage that, yeah, you can wipe down. You gotta be
careful what you're wiping the scratch the paint. Oh yeah,
you got to have a microfiber towel if you're on paint.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
If you're on paint. Yeah, yeah, there's some of like
the old T shirts.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
They work really well on like glass and mirrors when
you're washing those down. Yeah, so I found that less streaks.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Sure, this one's very gross.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Are you ready ready? I re wear workout clothes to
save water. It's gross, but I'm just going to sweat
in them again.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Okay, are you working out around other people? Are you
working out alone at your house? Are you in your garage?
Do you have a gross? Right?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
But there's so much bacteria, that's true, that's so much bacteria.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But if you're I assume they're around people, because if
you're working out at home and you're doing this, well,
you may as well just be naked when you work out. Sure,
I mean right, there's no one to witness. Yeah, but
nobody sees it.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I would be so uncomfortable even if I'm home.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's really gonna motivate you to get in shape, right.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, re wearing workout clothes, we talked about re wearing
like lounge pants. Yeah, we're just wearing them for a
couple hours and the next day you wear them for
a couple hours.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
But workout clothes too much sweating.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well, there's no question about that. Because yesterday when we
talked about the lounge pant as it is known. Yeah,
if you go outside, even if you just walk outside,
get down to get the mail, you come back, you've
got that outdoor smell. Pants have to go imagine working
out in them. Imagine that. And now we get to
some of the more disturbing reactions to this. This one
(21:46):
doesn't seem too bad to me. I says this texture.
I cut open tubes and containers to get the last
of whatever the product is that I'm using.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah, that's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
That's not too bad. I've I've done that with hand lotion.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I've done that with my I cream.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yeah, very expensive.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, because you got the hand loation pump and then
for a while, unscrew it and you pull it out
and then you you know, you wipe the stem on
your hand.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Have you seen it's popped up in like my little
Amazon ads on various apps, there's these little products that
you can buy to flip the containers over and they
become squeeze bottles. But then they have like a little
stand that you can settlement, so you can anything pump
that you can get the last.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Of it out of.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Oh I like that.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I haven't tried them. I haven't bottom to try them yet.
I wonder if anybody has purchased those. M hum, let
me know if they work.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yes, yes, I would like to get in on that
sweet sweet action, right, Yeah, let me go back to
This is probably the most disturbing thing we've seen, and
I probably should end with it, but it's in front
of me now, so here you go. Okay, Text, my
aunt and her partner only flush the toilet when they
go number two stop. This apparently saves water and helps
(22:55):
lower their water bill. Well, you know there is a
saying for that, Nikki Drake, if you're probably familiar with
do you know the saying.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
If it's yellow, let it mellow, If it's brown, flush
it down.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That is correct. Yes, that is correct, Nikki, And I'm
glad you thought of it so I didn't have to
say it, so you can be the gross one this morning. Okay, Yes,
free change.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Great. I just saw something on the text line that
might be illegal.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
If I buy something pricey and the next week it
goes on sale, I buy it again, but then return
the new one with the old.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Receipt, Well, I don't know if it's illegal, but at
it's unethical at the very least.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Some sort of fraud movie.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, eventually he's not supposed to be doing that. Yeah, okay. Text.
When I was in high school working at McDonald's, I
would wear my uniform multiple times before washing it, more
because I was lazy than just saving money all around
for your order. Sir, Hi, you were on the Jack
and Nikki show, which you got for us.
Speaker 5 (24:01):
Yes, I was calling in about uh cheap. Yes I'm
not cheap, but I had a husband and that was
so cheap.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
How cheap was he?
Speaker 5 (24:13):
He?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Let me tell you this is gross.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
He used to reuse his gentle flows reuss now and
I would find gentle flows all over my house, up
on the cabinet and at the side of his dad.
He would reuse that.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
And you guys got a divorce.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
Oh no, May God rest his and he passed away.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Oh well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Well, thank you, but.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I missed him every day in my life and would
love to see the dental floss again.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Well, I was going to ask you, are you still
finding dental floss around the house, And you're like, wow,
I can't believe he flost in here.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
No, we have moved and I had got rid of
a lot.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Well, if you moved and continued to find dental floss
would be really weird, wouldn't it.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, that would be I'd get scared.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You can call it call in tomorrow when we do
Mysteries of the Unexplained. Right, thanks for the call, ma'am.
You're welcome YouTube. Bye bye, lovely lovely woman.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
All right, I know you got something that just dropped
your drawer over there.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yes, okay, this came in on the text line. Okay,
all right, uh money saving hack. So this is kind
of genius.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Use toilet seat liners to blot excess oil off my
face because they're made of the same tissue that the
oil blotters are made out of from the makeup distributors.
Obviously use it, but not you know, before us on
the toilet. You don't use it after.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So this person goes into the restroom, they blot their
face their face with a toilet seat liner, and then
they put it on the toilet and use it. Yeah,
you can do that duel use.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yes, you could also do that, because then that's also
getting dual use. But I'm sure you could probably buy
the liners, just like from wherever.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
I'm sitting on my own face grease. All right, we're
running out of time. You are on the jacket, Nikisha,
what do you have for us? You there?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I have a sister in law.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
She makes you reuse the paper plates, and if she
sees you throw them in the trash, she'll pull them
out and wash up and make us use the paper plates.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Oh my gosh, I love it in the trash.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I love it. That's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
It's horrible.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Does it's no, it's horrible.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
I and they're they're rich, you know, they like they
have a lot of money, so you would never think that.
We went over to their house one time and I
threw my paper plate in the trash and she pulled
it out, and I was like, what are you doing.
She's like, oh, we we use these.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
That's why they're rich. Yeah, they're not foolishly squandering money
on new paper plates.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Why doesn't she just go get some fiesta wear or something, indeed,
actual plates if she's going to take the trouble to
wash them.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Thanks for the call. We appreciate it, all right. You
know what's interesting about that the thrifty thing, is it
necessarily tied to how much money you have. As we
discussed yesterday, maybe you grew up poor and that's just
your mindset. You just save and hoard and hang on
to everything because you know, that's that's how you grew up.
Who was it, Oh, there's a story coming to me.
(27:12):
There's a a It was some do it some. It
was some celebrity who I think it was maybe Bob
Hope who he was a multi millionaire. At one point,
he was the largest landowner in the state of California.
He was incredibly wealthy as you can imagine, and he
would still use coupons and go to fast food restaurants.
(27:35):
He'd go through the drive room and be like, I'm
saving thirty cents off this whopper, and they're like, you know,
you're the wealthiest man in California, right. So I think
it's just a mindset sometimes
