It's One More Thing Armstrong and Getty One More Thing. When Caitlin Clark retires from the wnba, she's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most. Fist fighting black women. A Shane Gillis joke from the ESPYs last night. That. Wow.
Mike Hanson
Wow.
Chris Martin
Shane Gillis is one funny freaking dude.
Mike Hanson
That is a funny, edgy joke.
Chris Martin
So my tease of. Look who's in on the kiss cam. I only kind of know this story. So we bring in executive producer Mike Hanson to explain what we're. What is going on here? That's about as much as you need to know. Chris Martin, the singer of Coldplay, at a concert, employing the kiss cam and capturing a loving moment between a man and a woman. Want to play the clip? And then we could back sell it, I guess. Yeah.
Hannah Jewell
Oh, look at these two.
Mike Hanson
All right, come on, you're up.
Chris Martin
Oh. What?
Hannah Jewell
Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.
Chris Martin
So they put the kiss cam on him. And what happened? They dive. Did a dive bomb. Both of them tried to escape the. The lens of the camera. Well, the man just. Just ducked down immediately, and the woman turned her back and she stood there for a while. But it does appear that they, in fact, were not a married couple and that the CEO, some. I don't know what company he's in charge of, but that's according to Twitter. That's the HR chief at the company that he runs. So the CEO of a company is with the HR girl at a concert.
Mike Hanson
Mashing with her at the.
Chris Martin
Chris Barton puts him on the kiss cam and says, well, I don't know. They didn't want to be on. They must be having an affair or something. Turns out that's exactly what was happening. And it would also appear that that moment proves that the HR chick has not gone through her latest installment of training. The only reason you would do that is because you didn't do the training.
Mike Hanson
Or. Or he was using his imbalance of power. Right, man. Splaining misogyny, paternal.
Chris Martin
Wow. I mean, there's all kinds of reasons that's a bad idea if one or both of you is married, that you shouldn't be doing that anyway. But if you think getting involved with the HR person who knows every single lever to pull in terms of ruining your life, well, that's easy to say.
Mike Hanson
Unless she's pulling your lever.
Chris Martin
Pulling your lever. Michael gets it. Okay. Thank you for that, Hanson.

Chris Martin
Came across this the other day. I kind of liked the tone of it. It was scientists helping you get back to sleep or get to sleep saying, we know you're drinking coffee later than you should in the day. We know you're looking at your phone. So let's just skip past that. Now what do you do? Which is not a bad. I wish more science looked at things that way from the more realistic standpoint instead of just laying out the don't drink any caffeine after 10am don't look your phone. Okay, that's great. It'd be great if I didn't, but I did. So now what?
Mike Hanson
What you got for me?
Chris Martin
What do you got for me and how I get to sleep or get back to sleep? And it's just some of your recommendations they had here. A lot of them you've heard before. Some of them I hadn't. Like, I don't know if I'd ever done this before. I think my mom might have told me about this when I was a kid. Tense your toes, flex them for five seconds, then release. This is known as progressive muscle relaxation. Reduces tension and calms the sympathetic nervous system.
Mike Hanson
Yeah, I learned about that in college.
Chris Martin
Tense your toes. I'm not exactly sure I know what tensing my toes means.
Mike Hanson
Well, you work through every muscle system. You constrict the muscle, then relax it.
Chris Martin
Okay. Has that ever worked for you?
Mike Hanson
I don't know.
Chris Martin
I feel like I did this years ago and it didn't give me a benefit from it. So this one is new to me. And somebody I know told me that they always go to a TV show or movie that they've seen a million times when they can't get to sleep. The scientists actually say that's a good idea. Watch a TV show you've seen many times before, an old episode of the Office or Frasier or whatever movie you like. The idea is to find something both comforting and familiar enough that you doze off without getting invested in any way. Huh. So if I'm watching something new, the scientists think I I want to know how it turns out enough that it might keep me awake. Whereas if I know what's going to happen, I'll fall asleep.
Mike Hanson
Well, maybe it's just the difference between taking in new information and well worn information too.
Chris Martin
Can you watch reruns?
Mike Hanson
Very, very rarely.
Chris Martin
Well, I don't watch. I don't watch pre runs. I don't watch in the first place at this point in my life, but I used to watch lots of reruns. Oh, this is a great episode of Seinfeld or MASH or whatever I was watching or movies. I can watch movies for many times. My dad was always a hardcore. Like if they were running a rerun, we've seen this before. Like get up and walk out of the room. Like he can't imagine. Why would you spend your time watching a show you've already seen? And I knew somebody else liked. I've only known two people in my life that were hardcore that way. But just no, I've already seen this.
Mike Hanson
Yeah, and I know another guy who's a very successful guy, works hard, smart. That's his thing. He watches old shows a lot when he's working out. For instance.
Chris Martin
Huh?
Mike Hanson
Some sort of like doing treadmill or elliptical or whatever. He likes to watch old Seinfeld episodes.
Chris Martin
So it's like comfort food, a term that I hate, but it's just something easy.
Mike Hanson
And he's a great guy and a good friend, but he's always hitting me with. You remember that episode when I mean, because somebody will mention, I don't know, a ham sandwich and he's like, you remember that episode a Seinfeld where Jerry had the ham sandwich and Kramer and I'll be. No, No, I don't.
Chris Martin
Here's a dumb one I'd never heard of. Read a nutrition label. It sounds silly, but the label has enough information to occupy your mind but is boring enough to coax you to sleep. This sounds like complete BS to me, but it's supposedly from scientists.
Mike Hanson
Well, even better. Double up. Have the same nutrition label next to your bed that you read over and over again.
Chris Martin
Oh, I love this nutrition label. It's got the flax in it. I can't wait till I get to the flax.
Mike Hanson
Oh, this, this seven grain bread nutrition label. Oh, it's an old favorite. Let's get started. Carbs, 14 grams.
Chris Martin
Try cognitive shuffling. Think of a random word. Maybe use bedtime, for instance, your random word. And then think of as many words as possible that start with B. When you run out of that, you think as many words as possible as you can. Start with E. I think you see where I'm going here. And you do that with each of the letters. The idea is that the random words will help you stop your brain from cycling through anxieties or trying to problem solve late at night. Because it usually is. Your mind is just like. My mind's on fire. With some topic.
Mike Hanson
Yes. Or a variety of them. That's. I'll usually have, like, three fighting for supremacy. And one is usually a song. And I'll have that song go through my head till I start worrying about my kid, and then I'll start worrying about some other thing, and then the song will come back in. And it's just. With me, it's half nuts.
Chris Martin
With me, it's usually, did I bury him deep enough or is a random stray dog gonna dig him up?
Mike Hanson
Right. Did I use enough bleach? All right, here's one that I've gone with that really works for me. I hope I can describe this properly. And you're going to think I'm nuts, but you already think that. I picture a specific.
Chris Martin
Point.
Mike Hanson
Physically. It can be like a foot in front. I've got my eyes closed. I'm trying to go to sleep. It's a foot in front of my face in. In space. Picturing. How do I express this? Picturing a specific point in space. And I don't know how I get started on doing this.
Chris Martin
I don't even know if I could do that. I don't even know. I don't know if I can. Wrap my head.
Mike Hanson
Close your eyes. Close your eyes and picture just the. The. The point in space. Like, it's almost a geolocation of a foot in front of your face. And just be aware of that space, that place.
Chris Martin
How'd you come up with this idea?
Mike Hanson
I have no idea. I don't remember. But the. And it's weird how. Well, it works for me because it's entirely spatial. It shuts off the verbal part of my brain, and it shuts off the anxiety part of my brain because I've got to, like, keep that spot in my mind. It's. Here's. Here's how I describe it. It's like I'm trying to levitate an object and keep it in prec. That spot. I know it sounds nuts.
Chris Martin
I've never heard that before, and I.
Mike Hanson
Wish I knew how. I. I don't remember.
Chris Martin
You need a book. You need a YouTube channel. You need a TED talk.
Mike Hanson
Sounds like a pain in the ass.
Chris Martin
Picture a familiar place. Imagine a place you know well in as much detail as possible. Maybe it's your childhood home, a vacation spot, your favorite park. Take yourself On a mental tour with as much detail as you possibly can.
Mike Hanson
That is interesting. That is a similar. I'll bet a similar part of your brain lights up when you do that to what I was just describing. Make it spatial, visual as opposed to, you know, whatever verbal slash, worry occupy your brain doing that.
Chris Martin
I did that for a while after my wife and I's honeymoon, however many years ago. That was many years ago. Had this house on the ocean that are ended and a big giant window looking out over the ocean. And I spent a lot of time sitting there and for a long time I could take my belt self back to that spot and picture that like it was just as real as could be. With quite a bit of detail in my mind, in my picture. But eventually enough time went by, I lost it. But for a while it was very, very calming for me to do that.
Mike Hanson
Right. You could evoke the emotional state you're in. Yeah, well that's why everybody wants to buy real estate wherever they go on vacation, including me.
Chris Martin
Oh yeah. When I was in Key west, absolutely had flyers out and explaining to my kids how I'm gonna buy a house here and you can come visit me.
Mike Hanson
Hey honey, let's just stop and look at this real estate agents window. They got some listings here I want to check out because. Because you think if you transport your current life and lifestyle to that location you will have the same emotional. Is that as you do on vacation? Yeah, that's why. Yeah.
Chris Martin
Well, now I feel like an idiot.
Mike Hanson
Well, and it could be that where you are is very beautiful and you would be happier there.
Chris Martin
I think I would.
Mike Hanson
It happens.
Chris Martin
I think I would be. Yeah. Happier.
Mike Hanson
I'm. I'm such a sucker for that because I'm just, I'm feeling footloose and fancy free, carefree, having a big time. I'm confident, I'm looking forward, I'm feeling positive. And I'm thinking we gotta look into a house here.
Chris Martin
Honey.
Mike Hanson
Let's take a. What is a square footage.
Chris Martin
I was walking down Duvall street in Key west after my kids went to bed with a cigar. I bought at a cigar shop, a Cuban cigar. And about as happy as I've ever been in my life. That's probably making me think I should buy a house here. I'd feel like this all the time.
Mike Hanson
Yeah, well, I'm not completely pooh poohing the notion. It's just be aware of that. You've got to picture the, the life you would be living not on vacation in that place otherwise. You're kidding. Yourself.
Chris Martin
Some of these are dumb. Place a cold washcloth on your forehead. I don't know, maybe that works for you. Count backward from 100. That's like the oldest idea in the world. Maybe that works for you. Inhale for 4 seconds. Hold for exhale slowly for 8. I've heard a lot of these kind of sounds. White noise.
Mike Hanson
Yeah, that.
Chris Martin
Stretching.
Mike Hanson
It's about the concentration. Same idea. You're concentrating on something completely benign and not what's running through your brain.
Chris Martin
I haven't tried this. Drink ice cold water. A few sips. A few sips can help lower your overall body temperature, mimicking its natural decline before sleep. I should try that ice cold water.
Mike Hanson
Wait a minute.
Chris Martin
I'll give that a shot.
Mike Hanson
Yeah. As an older fella, I may have to, you know, have a late night visit to the the Johnny. But I've got to do that anyway.
Chris Martin
Sit by a fan like of our show. They're just talking to me about you.
Mike Hanson
Remember that time you're talking about the President? I don't know if I can fall.
Chris Martin
Asleep with you sitting here.
Mike Hanson
Have you been vetted in some way?
Chris Martin
I mean, are you playing? As soon as I fall asleep, you are going to leave, right? And then lock the doors or am.
Mike Hanson
I going to wake up Pantless.
Chris Martin
Oh yeah, and a tub full of ice with tubes in my side. My kidneys gone.
Mike Hanson
Right, right. Well, that tub full of ice will lower your body temperature though, and you'll drift right off.
Chris Martin
All comes together. Well, I guess that's it.
