Behind the scenes with a member of the show.
A
What's up, everybody? Happy weekend. Scuba Steve is joining me. What's up, Scuba?
B
Yo. This is the question and answer one, right?
A
No, this is chatting about life.
B
Never mind. But if you have questions, I've got answers.
A
That's true. And we do have questions. You can always check out a part three for that. But no, we're here to check in on life. This is our fun catch up. Routinely, semi, monthly.
B
Okay. Long form hangout sesh.
A
Yeah. So give me the life checkup. How are you? How's. Doing two jobs. How are the kids? How is your mental health?
B
Okay, like, how is your mental health? Well, the most recent thing I would say was a food poisoning issue that almost led me to the er. And it's the most. It was the scariest. It was the event. The words that came out of my mouth at one point were like, don't call an ambulance. Cause I don't wanna scare the kids. And so I had to, like, stomach through it. And there were moments where I haven't. I've never blacked out. I don't think ever in my life, at least in the last 20 years, I haven't had a blackout moment. And there were moments in this scenario where I would come to and I'd be like, oh, my God, I'm on the bathroom floor. And then two seconds later, like, oh, my God, now I'm throwing up. I'm like, what is happening? Where am I? And it started on Friday night of last week. We went to a restaurant. And I don't want to say which restaurant it is, because when you get food poisoning, you, like, sometimes you can't tell if it's from that moment or if it was from the 24 hours. You know, it's just. It's hard to really tell what it was or something could have triggered it from the night before. So I don't want to blame one particular location, but I have a pretty good feeling it was that spot because my wife and I were eating this particular type of food. It was like raw fish, but it wasn't the fish. I don't think it was the onions that were in it. That's like small little onion pearls.
A
Yeah. Which I've never had an onion pearl before.
B
Okay.
A
I've had onion rings. I've had onions.
B
Yeah, onion rings are good.
A
I don't think I've had an onion pearl.
B
Yes. And I love them. I think they're really good. And especially when it's, like, with the right sauce and everything. And so I had one, and she had one, and she, like, didn't eat the whole thing. And she's like, oh, she made a face, but I didn't know what that was. And then she goes, oh, it's Pawnees, which means, like, that's expired. And I was like, what? And I had another one, and I had two of them. And within, like, 10 minutes, I had this. You know that feeling you get in your jaw where it starts to, like, almost, like, tingle a little bit, and you get that feeling like you're gonna throw up. And I was like, oh, no, I'm gonna throw up. And, like, we're at the end of our dinner, I give the guy the. The. My car. Then I'm like, get me out of here. I need to get out of here. I went to the bathroom, tried to, like, go number two to, like, maybe that'll help or something.
A
Yeah.
B
No. And I kept feeling the feeling right there. And then it turned from the feeling in my j. Somebody taking a spear and shoving it into right below my rib cage and almost, like, going and making a circular motion in my stomach, like, constantly. And I was like, oh, my God, now I have this sharp pain in my stomach. Do I have, like, appendicitis? Do I have an ulcer? Like, what the hell is this?
A
Yeah, but it's also all correlating in that moment. So you're like, okay, probably food poisoning.
B
Yeah, exactly. So that we get to the truck. We didn't drink that night because we're not drinking for the month of November. It's just randomly. No reason behind it.
A
Just, hey, health and wellness, you know?
B
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. And so I'm sitting in my truck, and I'm in the. I'm in the driver's seat. And then I'm. I can't drive. I'm like, I'm. I'm. I'm out. And she was just go throw up in the alley over there. And I was, I don't want to throw up here. I want to get home. She's, well, you can't drive. Let me drive. And I'm very protective of her driving my truck. And so I was like, all right, fine. You can drive. And so the whole way home, I'm like, you know how when you, like, you press Your feet against like the floorboard or whatever. Yeah, press against the floorboard. And the whole time I'm laid back and I'm just breathing, like labored breathing. And I'm pushing on my stomach, which I think also created a problem later on that I'm dealing with now, this pressure on my stomach. And then we get home and then I go to the bathroom. I'm trying to throw up. I can't throw up, which is. I don't ever experience that.
A
Yeah, no, definitely I have. And that's a worse feeling. There's nothing worse than like dry heaving and nothing's coming out. Do you think you might have been allergic to these and you just didn't know it?
B
Well, I don't know. But then I was thinking about. Because I watched an Instagram video like months ago about different.
A
That's how every good start.
B
It wasn't a Tick Tock F that place, it was an Instagram video.
A
Instagram videos basically come from Tick Tock.
B
No, this was always an Instagram video. It was never a Tick Tock video.
A
Whatever makes you feel better.
B
Because Instagram videos are a little bit more closer to factual sometimes. Whereas Tick tock is always a made up story by some middle aged woman in her car in Wisconsin telling a recount story of something that happened but probably didn't happen.
A
I hate to tell you this but majority of the content on Instagram is.
B
Recycled from whatever anyway. So it was from Twitter also. Could be.
A
Anyways, what did you see on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter?
B
Well, how onions have this, I guess nutrients where if used the right way they can help with like the common cold and stuff like that. But if they're old they can turn rancid and they're poisonous. So this onion could have been rancid and it could have been a poison where it immediately just had this bad reaction to my body and the mixture mixed with whatever else I was eating.
A
These are just tiny little pearls. And you had two of them?
B
Yes, I had two of them. But I also drank the sabal which is the sauce. So this onion and the sauce.
A
Yeah.
B
So I just, I consumed the whole damn dish.
A
Did you call them though? Just like at some point just say hey, FYI, like you know, I wanted to let you guys know not I.
B
Need anything that's not my personality. I don't do that.
A
I just more mean for like to make sure they don't do it again to anybody else.
B
Well, but I don't know if it was them or not. So I can't really, you know, I can't really pinpoint.
A
Go back and do a check of their kitchen and make sure, like, all their onions are good. You know what I mean?
B
Yeah. I feel like you should just common sense know if your onions are good or not true.
A
Like, an onion being bad is.
B
You could tell.
A
Pretty obvious.
B
Yeah. It's, like, moldy and gross and disgusting, but it didn't look that way. But it also could have been disguised because of being mixed with all the different foods in the sauce. So you wouldn't be able to tell.
A
If they cooked it or prepared it early.
B
Yeah.
A
And then it got bad as it was exactly cooked or whatever.
B
Or somewhere in there, because it was. It's a restaurant that exists somewhere else, like New York, but then they moved to Nashville to have another location. And so they have a limited menu, and they have new cooks and new chefs, and everyone's learning the whole experience. So somewhere down the line, they could have left something out or something could have been whatever, and a mistake.
A
This is teaching me that there's a reason I don't like fish. Yeah, I've never liked fish, but I've never had it. But I also. The smell, the texture, everything about fish just grosses me out.
B
Well, fish is good. And I've always been skeptical of it because we're in a landlocked area where we're nowhere near the freaking ocean. So if I'm gonna eat fish, normally, I usually pass, unless I'm somewhere along the coast. Like, if I'm in Florida or I'm.
A
Back in California, like, fresh fish, you know, it's happening right near you.
B
Like, in Key west, they literally have caught it that morning, and you're eating it that afternoon. Or in Hawaii, same. Those guys are fishing and they're bringing to the markets, and you're having it that same day. So it's. It's so fresh you could taste it. Whereas here, you're like, oh, this is previously frozen. Doesn't taste the same. It's fine, but it's like. It's just satisfactory.
A
Yeah. My boyfriend said the same thing because he lived in Florida for several years, and he loved eating seafood down there. This is one of his favorite things.
B
Different experience. Yeah. So he gets it.
A
Yeah.
B
But. Yeah. So then we get home, and I'm trying to throw up. The sitter leaves. I can't throw up. And then we start to get ready for, like, showers and get the kids ready to bed and all that kind of stuff. And then I immediately am like, oh, no, I gotta. I Think I got to throw up. And so my wife gives me this like big basketball looking bowl.
A
Listen, the throw up bowl.
B
Okay, the throw up bowl. Basically. Yeah.
A
I remember this from when I was a kid. Anytime I get sick, I would have a funky food container sitting in my bed. It was either like a sorbet of ice cream that I was puking into or like an old popcorn bowl, some random assortment. I'm like, all the things you're giving me a food bowl to throw up.
B
Exactly as I am trying to get rid of food. My mom was always like an old, like, bucket. Like a. Like a cleaning bucket. Yeah. I always smelled like Lysol. Like an old, like.
A
Which is also not better.
B
No, exactly.
A
The two things you don't want to smell when you don't feel good are fruit and cleaning products. Yeah.
B
It makes you want to throw out more. But maybe that's the whole point. Maybe the psychological side of it. So then I'm. So I'm sitting there, I'm on the toilet and I'm like, I think I got both going on right now. Like, oh, my God. But the bottom half isn't. Isn't doing what I want it to do because I feel like, man, if I could just. If I could just take it. If I could just go poop, I feel like this would all go away. Throwing up. I don't want to throw up. Throwing up is my. I would rather die than throw up.
A
Really?
B
That's how much I hate throwing up.
A
It is not a fun experience.
B
No.
A
I spent a lot of college throwing up.
B
But yes. Yeah. And I. Violent. When I throw up, I violently throw up. Like, I'm loud and you can hear me. It's brutal. And I. And my whole body convulses, which leads to the pain that I'm experiencing now because I'm so full body throw up. And so I'm sitting on the toilet, I'm holding the bowl and I'm. And all of a sudden you can feel it. It's coming. I'm. Oh, my God, here it comes. And then it's just. And then it won't stop. And she's going and going and going. And then the bowl to fill up higher and higher and higher. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm at the brim of the bowl, but I still don't throw up.
A
You're about to be covered in your own mess in the bathroom because everything is just all over the place.
B
It's awful. So then I have to. Then I. Then I. Then now I'm. Now I'm so f. Like I have no energy because I've just. I've just lost everything in me into this bowl. And then I have to get off the toilet and I have no energy and I go to drop that, you know, pour it in the toilet, and then I. Then I fall to the floor and I'm sitting on the floor and I'm like, oh my God, my pants down.
A
It's like, you've had a rough night of drinking, but you had it.
B
But I hadn't. I had. No. That's the thing. We normally we do have a drink when we go out for a date night, but we had no alcohol. That was the worst part. I was like, man, like, like the one time, what the hell? And so then I do that and then I go, okay, I need to go upstairs. I just threw up. Usually when I throw up, I feel good and I can move on. I go upstairs. So go upstairs and then. And I'm like, oh man, I gotta throw up again. But then this time, and now it's a dry heaving period where it's like the worst. Now I'm dry heaving and all my muscles are contracting and I feel like I'm like pregnant, but there's nothing coming out. It was, it was painful.
A
And then this at the point where you're like, I might need to go to the er.
B
Not then. No. So then I take a shower and I'm like, I feel somewhat okay. I still feel like I got to go bathroom, bathroom, but I'm not going. And I'm like, man, I haven't been constipated in like 15 years. I've had a pretty good regular bowel movement with my diet.
A
Really happy for you.
B
Thank you. Yeah, yeah, I've been pretty good. I've been pretty, pretty, pretty good. And so I'm like, crap, I just need to lay down. Usually if I lay down and I sleep it off, I'm great the next morning and I'm all good and. And then I think it's like maybe midnight or 1:00 clock, I wake up and I can't sleep in my side because when I sleep in my side it hurts because I saw that stabbing pain in my stomach. And so I don't sleep on my left side. I try to sleep on my back, but then I'm like, I'm uncomfortable. Let me go on my right side. And I wake up around 1am and then all of a sudden I'm like, oh. I'm like, oh, no. And then I Can't move. And so I'm like, babe. And she wakes up. She's like, what is it? I was like, I can't move, but I have to go to the bathroom. Can you please help me? I'm so sorry. I've never experienced this pain before. I'm really sorry, and I'm apologizing a bunch. And then she helps me up, and this is when I black out. And then I don't remember going from the bed to the bathroom because then I wake up, and I don't know if it's been 10 seconds or if it's been 15, 20, 30 minutes, because then I wake up and I'm on the floor again. I'm like, oh, my God. I'm on the floor, and my whole. I could see my privates. And I'm like. I'm, like, naked, chilling in the bathroom.
A
Again once, you know, Had a really rough night.
B
Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. And I'm sweating, and now I'm at this point where I'm hot and I'm sweating, and it's just driven from my forehead. And I just shaved, too, so the. There's no. There's, like, no hair there, and it's just, like, falling from my face. And I'm hot and I'm uncomfortable, and I can't throw up and I can't go to the bathroom. And now I'm in this, like, point where I can't do anything. And then she's like. She's like, babe. She goes, did you drink any water after you threw up? And I was like, no. She was like, oh, my God. So she gives me this huge, massive freaking thermos of water, warm water. And then she gets me Pepto, and then she gets me Gatorade, and she's trying to get me to drink water. She's like, if you don't drink water, we have to go to the hospital. I was like, no, I don't go to the hospital because I don't want to scare the kids. I don't want to call an ambulance because they're going to freak out. I don't. I don't want to do that. And she's like, okay, well, you have to drink a lot of water, otherwise I'm taking you to the er. You have to go to the er. If you don't consume, you're gonna die. And I was like, oh, my God. So then I'm. Then I'm nervous that I'm gonna die, and I'm like, oh, my God. But I'd Rather die than throw up. So now I'm just like, I don't know. And so then I'm sitting there and I'm blacking out a couple different times, and I start drinking a bunch of water. And then I think I throw up a little bit, but it's like the phlegm white throw up. You know, the gross one.
A
Nothing's left in your body at this point?
B
Nothing. There's nothing in there at all. And then so I go back. Lay back down in the bed finally. But I'm still in a lot of pain. And she's like, we need to call, like, a nurse or something, because you know how we live in Nashville or any city like Nashville, Vegas, or wherever. They got those traveling nurses with the. The IV bag type situation.
A
Oh, yeah. I got one of those in my pantry for my cat.
B
Oh, yeah? Yeah. For your cat. Yeah.
A
I have to do sub Q fluids on her.
B
Really?
C
Yeah.
B
She gets IV basically.
A
It's like, right under the skin. So it's not like what you think of, like, an iv. It's like you just, like, puncture the skin above and fluid gets, like, pushed.
B
Into her and you do it.
A
My boyfriend does a needle. I just confine her.
B
So you have to hold her?
A
Yeah. It's a WWE match between her and I. But, yeah, so I have one at my house. I know what you're talking about.
B
Okay. Wow. That's very random. Do you have any, like. Any, like, warrior wounds? Any scratches from it?
A
Oh, yeah, my neck. You should see my neck. Every time I start wearing a hoodie, and I'm like, full hood, and I tie it, so it's like my whole face is covered. Yeah. And we have a little container that's full of old needles because you have to dispose of those correctly.
B
Yeah.
A
So you just have to keep them in a container until you can take them to, like, a firehouse and have.
B
Them dispose of them. Yeah, One of those random bathrooms. They have, like, a needle thing in them.
A
Yep.
B
You're like, I'm in a bathroom. What. What part of town am I in where they have a needle thing on the bathroom?
A
Okay. They had them at the Opry.
B
Oh, really?
A
Opry. The other night. And I was like, I've never seen those before in my life.
B
Maybe because it's. It's at a hotel, so maybe they had different regulations from osha.
A
Like the backstage area of the opera.
B
That's interesting.
A
Yeah.
B
Diabetics and older people. Yeah. A lot of old people there.
A
You have all kinds of things. It's probably more normal that people. Those should be in every bathroom because you totally have people with medical issues that actually need that.
B
True, yeah.
A
But I just have never really thought about. Because I've never seen them before.
B
Okay. I remember seeing them. The first time I saw them was when I was in Seattle there on vacation years and years ago. And I remember going to the bathroom and I was like, whoa, they have needle things in the wall. I'm like, oh, Kurt Cobain and heroin.
A
You extra drugs.
B
Yeah, people get. But then that became a thing and I asked somebody worked at a. It was like a Burger King, whatever. I was like, dude, you got like a needle thing in that bathroom. He's like, oh, dude. Homeless people are constantly going using bathrooms around Seattle to shoot up. And then sure enough, I went to the mall and six of the seven stalls were covered by people that smell like piss. And they're homeless people and they're shooting up and, and nodding off in the bathroom stalls. And so they put those things in there so they can at least dispose of their needle properly. And I'm like, oh my God. This is like, this is a. This is normal and okay and like a big city. How about we just fix the problem of allowing them to do it?
A
Well, you know, we like to put band aids on problems instead of go to the root of it.
B
So stupid.
A
At least we're disposing of needles.
B
Yeah, yeah, that exactly. Yeah, yeah. Which also leads to my son. Last night we're laying in bed and he's like, I don't know how we got in this conversation. He's like, war is so bad. Which means he must be learning about it. And I was like, yeah, war is really bad. He goes, why can't we just accomplish peace? And he's seven. And I was like, dude, like. And I wanted to like cut him off and try to talk. I'm like, let me just hear what he has to say. He's like, peace is so much easier. He goes, I'd rather live somewhere where I can go outside and breathe in fresh air and hear the noise of nature and it just be calm and beautiful. Then he's like, war is so bad. He goes. He goes, no one wins when it, when there's war. He goes, it's just greed and it's disgusting. He goes, peace is so much more, so much more important and a better solution than war. And I'm like, oh my God, a 7 year old is smarter than a 50 year old politician that runs our. Helps run our country. A seven year old Gets it.
A
I was gonna say wait till he learns about wealth and power and.
B
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. War is always fueled by greed and helping people who own companies like tank companies and armor companies and that kind of crap. It's always, it's feeling something bigger than what we are.
A
You know, and speaking of. And we'll, we'll cut to a break after this and you'll finish your, your er story. The I've been on my feed lately has been videos of what Afghanistan and Pakistan looked like before any of the war began.
B
2000S and everything. Yeah.
A
And it was such a beautiful country.
B
Yeah.
A
And it's heartbreaking that now it's just not, it's all gone. It's just decimated and it looks very deserted and just like zombie apocalypse kind of style. And it was just heartbreaking seeing like the before and after. Because you don't think of the before. Like I know that I was a kid when a lot of this happened. So what I remember of Afghanistan is just like this war torn country.
B
Yeah.
A
But 20 years prior it was like this beautiful place that people went to travel and see.
B
Yeah. Well, even like Gaza, which is most, the most recent one, that was this beautiful strip of land that was on the ocean or on the, on the water and it was so beautiful. But they were, it was greed and they wanted that plot of land because, because it was so beautiful. And then they just destroyed it so that they can eventually take it and rebuild it to what they wanted. And I'm like, that's awful. People live there.
A
Your 7 year old. Let's put them in politics.
B
Yeah.
A
Peace be everywhere.
B
Exactly. If this generation, this next generation has, which I'm sure if he thinks that way, a lot of other his friends think that way. That's the generation that can help fix all the problems that we have now, which unfortunately will take a long time.
A
But they should start now.
B
They really should now. They really should start now. Well, there are people that we see that are now in their 30s and 40s trying to make their way into politics and push out the old and crotchety angry views that shouldn't exist and never should exist. Like the whole point of, of living here is to evolve and become better. Why, why would you not want to live in a place that it was, that was better than it was yesterday? That's the whole point. Why? Who wants to live in turmoil and, and like anywhere in the world? Like there's no point. It'd be so much better if we just all stopped giving a crap about what everyone else had and just focus on ourselves and lived in peace. It's really stupid that we there's all this greed and we allow it and we're okay with it because we like a certain person. F that person, then they suck. We should live that way.
A
Humans, man.
B
I know. Humans suck.
A
Humans. We're gonna take a quick break here and we'll be right back.

Rejoin and on our podcast Hungry for History, we mix two of our favorite things, food and history. Ancient Athenians used to scratch names onto oyster shells and they called these ostrakon to vote politicians into exile. So our word ostracize is related to the word oyster. No way.
A
Bring back the ostracon.
C
And because we've got a very mi casa es su casa kind of vibe on our show, friends always stop by.
B
Pretty much every entry into this side of the planet was through the El Golfo de Mexico. No, the America.
A
No, the American.
B
El Golfo de Mexico. Continual, forever and ever.
C
It blows me away how progressive Mexico was in this moment. They had land reform, they had labor rights, they had education rights. Mustard seeds were so valuable to the ancient Egyptians that they used to place them in their tombs for the afterlife.

A
Okay, was there a finishing to your ER story?
B
Yes.
A
Did you end up going?
B
No, we didn't go to the ER because again, I didn't want to freak out my kids. And so my wife, she called this like traveling nurse and he came to the house the next morning. It was like 7am he came over and I felt bad because my son had a basketball game and I'm his head coach. And so I was like, I'm gonna. I can't go to your game, dude. I'm in so much pain. I can't even get up. And anytime I. Anytime I get up from the bed, even laying on the bed hurt because I was laying on the floor a lot. I ended up. That night, I ended up falling asleep. I couldn't go back to the bed. I end up falling asleep on the floor next to the toilet, on top of a towel, because it felt better to be on a flat surface than, like, a cushiony mattress.
A
Listen, that bathroom sleep, when you don't feel good, it's pretty hard. I'm not gonna lie.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
I know that. Not. Not just from, like, you know, hangovers or whatever, but, like, when you're sick.
B
Yeah.
A
And you don't want to move. I remember when I got vertigo and I, like, crawled to the. To the bathroom because you can't walk.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
And I just, like, starfished in the bathroom, and I passed out there, and it was, like, the best sleep I ever had because I was, like, floor totally cold. Floor flat.
B
Yeah.
A
And, like, I felt, like, so much crap that when I woke up, I was like, oh, okay. I slightly feel better.
B
Yeah.
A
But then you stand up. You're like, never mind.
B
Totally. Yeah. Go back down.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. But maybe there's something to the science of it that obviously, before mattresses were ever in existence, humans obviously slept on a flat surface, and that maybe is what we're supposed to do. And. And I feel like I felt really primal. I'm like, oh, I'm, like, laying on the flat ground. I'm back in my caveman state.
A
All the way back.
B
All the way back to the Stevens of many, many universes ago.
A
So you're on the floor, and.
B
And then. Yeah. So then he. She calls his ER guy. He comes over, and then all the kids, of course, are sitting there. I'm at. Now I'm in. Now I'm in the guest room because my wife's like, just go in the guest room. There's more room. He can come in there and set up all his crap. And he comes in. The kids are so inquisitive, and they want to know what the heck's going on, because they're seven, four, and two, and they're sitting on the bed next to me. And he comes in, and he's like, oh, I got kids that are 8, 8, 5, and 3. So they're close to my kids. So he understood and was, like, not bothered by it and wasn't. It didn't faze him because he has kids. Kids that are also trying to figure out life. And so we're sitting there, and they got Peabody and Sherman on. On the tv on the background. And he's like, sort of watching it. And even my daughter was. He stopped to watch it while he's filling up with some vitamins. And she was like, hey, stop watching TV and focus on my dad.
A
She was very concerned.
B
Very concerned. Because he gets. First he gets the IV bag, and he's explaining what he's doing. He's okay, iv, obviously, for the flu, to make sure you're hydrated. But then he goes, I'm gonna give you some magnesium for, you know, for nausea, vitamin B and C for energy and all these different things. And he had something else that was for the cramping of my stomach. He's like. And, you know. You know, some. Some of you'll feel instantly, you know, and he goes through all the different steps, and some you'll feel hours later. And thank God I did that, because, first of all, we got to use our HSA card, which is awesome. So it didn't cost any money out of pocket, which was cool. Well.
A
And it didn't cost the money of an ER or a hospital visit.
B
Yes. Because she was like, go to the ER. I'm like, that's going to cost, like, $10,000 over, like, if you ambulance in the ER. That's a lot of money. I'm like, we don't have the budget right now for that. And so, no, let's just do this. And she's like, this is great. We'll try this. And so we do the whole thing. He's there for, like, 20, 30 minutes, and he packs up his stuff and he leaves. And then I start to feel a little bit better. But I can't coach my son's basketball game. So he goes without me and of course has, like, the worst game ever, because he's worried about me at home, and he's stressed out, and, you know, he has a couple breakdowns of the game. They don't win, which is fine. I don't care if they win. But a lot of kids on his team did well. They all scored a bunch of points and had fun, but he had a terrible game. And I think obviously because he's worried about his dad. Yeah. But that's a good thing.
A
He's a feeler.
B
Yeah.
A
You know, you don't want to shut that down. You don't want to be like, focus on the game. That's what's important.
B
Yeah, yeah. No. He definitely feels all the emotions and takes it all. Like we talked earlier a second ago about peace and war. Yeah.
A
Like this shows you everything.
B
Yeah. You definitely feel he's like a lot like me. He senses energy and feels things and is a different human than, than others in that sense. His heightened sense. So yeah, he goes to the game, has a terrible game, comes home and then we have a great day and I'm still cramping and this was, this is now a week later. And all this week I have this, I have this massive amount of pain in my abdomen still.
A
Yeah.
B
My wife's like, well, because you're a violent throw upper and you. And like you just, you contracted all your muscles and you haven't been really working out over the last several years. And so it's like you did a thousand sit ups and. And my stomach is like, I feel like I have a Kevin James stomach where it's like this big stomach and. And. But it's so, so freaking sore. Yeah.
A
Like you're just really hurting in there.
B
Yeah.
A
And it is true. I mean that's, those are muscles at the end of the day you were working a whole lot of muscles. And yeah, also a stomach, when it gets destroyed like that by something, it's gonna take some time to rebuild it. And yeah, you, you might benefit from doing a extended fast.
B
Yeah, well, I kind of did that without really trying because for three days I couldn't really eat much. I only had like bananas and like light things, grains and stuff. And then eventually and I still couldn't go to the bathroom. Like, oh my God, if I could just go to the bathroom, I feel so much better. And then finally after the third or fourth day, I finally had like a real bowel movement. I felt I was like, oh my God. Yeah, more back to regular. Still not fully regular, but like, like, oh my God, thank God. Like this is excruciating pain.
C
Yeah.
A
Well, and now that you're at least over that moment.
B
Yeah.
A
Extended fast, like 24 hours plus if you can make it like really 36 hours, 48 hours is like a prime time. But it'll start to re. Heal your cells and stuff.
B
Yeah.
A
Autophagy. And it could really help you now with particular that just in case your stomach lining, everything is really upset by what just happened.
B
And when you say fasting, like there's no food at all.
A
No, you can only drink water with some Celtic sea salt would be super helpful. But okay, you can have avocado with Salt after the 24 hour hits because it'll. It breaks the fast, but it doesn't break autophagy.
B
Okay.
A
So if you like really are starving and you can't make anymore, I've had moments of that where I did that. But it's been one of the really big parts of my healing process is doing it. It gives your body a chance to actually reset instead of just constantly trying to kind of fix it and add different things to help it. It gives it a chance to breathe.
B
Okay.
A
Because it's different breathing than when you were forcibly not eating because you felt like crap. It's like now your body's healed and you feel good and that part is gone. But now it's like it needs to he from whatever lasting impacts might have had on it.
B
Okay.
A
It could help. It could also not. You know, like, it could be. That was stupid. But it might be worth a try if you're still feeling that way.
B
And I've heard that fasting is just good in general. Like, I have some people that do that. I forget what it's called where they don't eat till 11 or 12 every day.
A
The intermittent fasting.
B
Intermittent fasting, yeah. Which they do that, which is fine. But I've even heard that what you said, the 24 to 48, which is good for the body to cleanse itself while the toxins and crap. And also for your mind and your spiritual being. Whatever. I've heard.
A
Oh, yeah. When I get done with a fast, like every Friday, I am sharp as a nail.
B
Okay.
A
It's wild.
B
Okay. Wow.
A
Okay. So it is super helpful for a bunch of other things. So.
B
Yeah.
A
But at least it could potentially help your. Your stomach with everything that it just went through because.
B
Yeah.
A
Sounds like it was quite the eventful weekend for you.
B
It was awful. It was a date night. We haven't had a date night in a while. And I was so excited. And it was gonna be a sober date night. And we're like just having great conversation and talking and catching up on things that we haven't been able to talk about because we've been so busy the last month and freaking years.
A
The worst.
B
It was a great time. Then you get to the end and I'm like, oh, my God, this is awful. And we were excited to try this new restaurant out and now this terrible experience. Sorry.
A
It's like it's reminding you of that. I know this terrible is one of the worst things because it comes on so fast.
B
Yeah.
A
And it stays for like 24 hours at least.
B
Oh, my God. Yeah.
A
This is like long lasting impact. But it is kind of crazy how much it really went into your stomach.
B
Yeah.
A
But if you would, the one thing that would have been great is if you did go to the hospital, they could have probably tested you and figured out what you had in your system.
B
They could have. Yeah. They could have done all that. They also could have done more tests that freaked me out for other things that I don't either.
A
Yeah, no, that's.
B
Whatever.
A
Yeah, that's definitely true.
B
Yeah.
A
More your blood work would be like maybe with the traveling nurse. You should have had pull and then give you stuff.
B
Yeah.
A
Then you could have figured out if you had like an actual toxin in your body from that onion.
B
From it. Yeah. Yeah. Which. Which creates a poison and toxin when they expire. Like I said. So it's like. Yeah, he could have probably been able to. Or they could have been able to tell me.
A
Who knew? You know, I'm afraid of a lot of things when it comes to food. Like just to get sick or whatever.
B
Yeah.
A
But I was never afraid of rancid onions.
B
Yeah, well now you should be because it literally turns into a poison.
A
Yeah.
B
Like, and it will destroy you.
A
The onions. Or is it particular onions? Because then I just stay from those colored onions.
B
Why not? I think it is just onions in general because they have a lot. We also use onion too when we're getting sick. And we'll chop up an onion and we'll put it by our bedside because it's one of those things from like the turn of the century type crap.
A
Where there's supposed to.
B
Isn't it pulls the toxins out of your body and everything. Yeah. Like if you're. If you're starting to feel sick or if you're sick, whether it be like sinus related or something to do with respiratory or a flu or any kind of common cold. Yeah, it's supposed to. The onions in the air extinguish your. Your. Your broom does start to smell like animal style French fries from in and Out Burger. But it's totally worth it because it does. I feel like we could recover so much faster by the onions pulling toxins from our body. And even too.
A
Because you' crying though. Because onions make me cry.
B
No, they don't make me cry, which is weird. I don't cry from onions. I don't know what it is.
A
I haven't really started anything. You might be allergic to onions.
B
I don't know. I. I have no problem with them until that one freaking moment with those little small. And I love the small pearl onions. Little chalets. I freaking love those things. I love them so much. So I Love them, and I eat them all the time. But I've also heard, too, that if you take a red onion and you cut it and slice it and core out the middle and put honey in it and, like, cook that for a little bit, that honey that's been baked into the red onion is also, like, a good cough syrup or syrup for flu and fighting for common colds and stuff.
A
Yeah, I love that. I love natural remedies.
B
If they.
A
If they work. I. I started taking detox baths whenever I feel bad and they talk a lot. I made my boyfriend doing.
B
He's like, this is not a detox bath.
A
You put, like, mustard clay Ben and I clay, or mustard seed Bennett clay, and some other kind of, like, oils and stuff in it and in a.
B
Bath, like a body.
A
Yeah. It's kind of like it looks like dirty water almost.
B
Yeah.
A
And my boyfriend had. Was really not feeling well. Within 24 hours, he was back to normal. It was wild.
B
Damn. Okay.
A
Because it makes you sweat. Those particular properties are making you sweat, and sweating helps you get out toxins. It's kind of the same concept of a sauna or doing true. Something like that. But those particular things are like, what you're talking about with the onion and the honey.
B
Okay.
A
Certain properties that pull it out.
B
Okay.
A
Holistic remedies.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
But it only works if it works for you. Like, you know, it doesn't work for everybody.
B
Everyone's chemical makeup is different. That's another thing, too, Is. Yeah. Well, may work for me, won't work for you. Yeah.
A
Yeah. I did try onions one time. I put them on the bottom of my feet in socks.
B
Okay.
A
Because I saw it online, and I was desperate to feel better. It was like when I was going through Covid and have to get this crap out of my body. And it worked for a little bit.
B
Okay.
C
It seemed to help.
A
But, like, when I took the onions off my feet, they were gross.
B
Yeah. The onions were gross or your feet were gross?
A
The onions. Oh, my feet were also gross because it was weird. It was like. It worked as, like, a foot peel also.
B
Oh, okay, interesting.
A
So, like, my foot was weird, but then also, like, the onions were gross, and they're like.
B
Yeah.
A
This was supposed to be, like, pulled out the toxins. I'm like, that's disgusting.
B
Ye.
A
If that's legit, that's what that was. That's gross.
B
That's gross. And now I need a pedicure.
C
Yeah.
B
Literally.
A
We're gonna take one more quick break. We'll be right back.

A
I have some more Facebook Marketplace stories for you.
B
Okay.
A
My dad turned Facebook Marketplace into his own personal bachelor setup. Let me tell you how that.
B
Okay, gotcha.
A
So they had this old car they've had for years. It was like one of the cars that we drove in high school.
B
Yeah.
A
And it's just kind of been there. Like, kind of car that they drive when they need to go and do crazy things.
B
Extra. Do you know what kind of car it was?
A
Or Jeep Liberty.
B
Okay.
A
Yeah. So. But it was always funny watching my dad drive because it's a really girly car. It's white.
B
Liberty's over. Girly.
C
Yeah.
A
And I loved it.
B
Yeah.
A
But so they finally sold it. But what was funny is my dad doesn't know how to do Facebook Marketplace.
B
Okay?
A
He's never done this before in his life. We've always done it for him. And he's now retired, so we're like, you can figure this out. You'll be fine.
B
You have nothing but time. Dude, watch a YouTube video and figure it out, bro.
A
Well, he figured it out, all right.
B
Okay.
A
But instead of, like, communicating with people and, like, finding one person to go set up a meet with, he did, like, three or four and told them all the same time and place and said, show up at this time.
B
So he's gonna do, like, a game show. Like, all right. The winner gets the car, basically. Oh, my God.
A
Like, he tells everybody, show up to this gas station right at this time.
B
Oh, my God.
A
And so the first person comes up, they like it. They decided, yes, okay. Like, we want this car. My dad's signing over the car registration stuff to him.
B
Whatever.
A
And the second person pulls up is like, I guess we're late to the party.
B
Like, oh, my God.
A
And my dad just like, yep, we already sold it. I'm like, d, this is not how that works.
B
No. Yeah, you can't tell them all to meet there. Oh, my God. It's the first one here wins. Or color 105. You get the. You get the Jeep Liberty. What the hell?
A
I don't know what was going through that other person's head that, like, showed.
B
Up and was like, I drove all this way for a car that's no longer here because you gave to somebody else. They beat me.
A
And my mom was, like, worried. She's like, these people are going to, like, against you. Like, that was a car. This is just like an air fryer.
B
Like, exactly. Yeah. This is an expensive purchase. They may have gone to the bank, got cash, or figured out their finances or whatever. Holy crap.
A
Yeah. And thankfully, you know, it wasn't a lot of money. But still, though, it was just more hilarious because I'm like. And so we had to have a conversation with my father of, like, dad.
B
It'S not a contest.
A
This is not how this works. Yeah, you have to just choose one person. Obviously, it sucks if they don't show up. And that's a very big part of Facebook marketing.
B
That's probably what he's thinking. He's like, well, if they don't show up and I have a second and a third one in the can.
A
That's exactly what he was saying. I just am going to prepare for the fact that some of these people may not show up. Up.
B
Yeah.
A
And I don't think two of them ended up showing up. Yeah, but like the poor second person who was like late to the game show, they did not win a car that day.
B
Oh my God. And dude, by the way, you're retired. So you have enough time to set up another appointment. If the first one doesn't work out, you have nothing but time right now.
A
Hilarious.
B
Oh my God.
A
So well, it worked for him. So funny. Like my mom told me that story. I was like, you're for real? This happened? He's like, yeah, yeah.
B
So that's your dad.
A
There's my dad. I'm sure he's gonna call me after I had this conversation. He's like, that's not what happened. No, but it was. And then I let them know in.
B
Advance that they may or may not get it there. There was, there was some fine print.
A
Just a little bit written at the bottom. And then I had a funny one. Speaking of an air fryer, I was selling my old air fryer and I had this guy write me on there. I had a bunch of people reach.
B
Out, you want to buy that an air fryer that you've used and like put your food in it and cooked and grease and grossness.
A
And I had it really cleaned.
B
Okay.
A
I keep things very clean. I always cleaned it every time I used it. So pretty much brand new.
B
Okay.
A
It's 20 bucks. So that's a cheap air fryer. And I had, I had a guy write me it was midnight. I get a Facebook Marketplace at midnight. And he goes, if you're still awake, I'm finna come get you fryer.
B
Is your picture available on there? Oh, he said he wants to come get you and the air fryer if it's midnight.
A
I obviously didn't get it till like the next morning I showed my boyfriend and I was dying. He's like, well, you're not going to go meet up with.
B
No way. He had other intentions. Midnight. He was sitting there looking at girls and pop up.
A
Think he might have had a little fun that night and really wanted food. Really? One of the air fryer was just like, I'm going to come get that right now.
B
Uh huh. Okay.
A
So those are my two basic marketplace stories. Lately I've had a lot of these. Facebook Marketplace has been my source of entertainment.
B
Did you sell, end up selling your idea to the stone guy or somebody else?
A
They're a really nice couple that I met in a Costco parking lot.
B
Okay. Nice, safe.
A
I always Meet in the Costco or the Target parking lot.
B
Yeah. I was gonna say, because even for me, I've never. I've never sold anything on Facebook Marketplace.
A
Oh, you're missing a whole lot of joy in your life.
B
Yeah, I know, but I just also, like, nervous of, like, meeting strangers in a parking lot.
A
Yeah. But I'm telling you, it's the best stories.
B
Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. But I. I'd rather almost throw it away or give it away than have, like, to put the risk of, like, meeting some stranger. I'm like, I don't know. Know.
A
It's true. If I'm trying really hard to be really intentional about things that I have in my house, either, like, if I'm getting rid of them, I'm donating them to a place that's actually going to use them.
B
Yeah.
A
Or I'm selling them to somebody that can use it. It's just not going to a landfill.
B
Yeah, true. Yeah.
A
So I've been trying really hard to be intentional about that. So anytime I can sell something, I'm like, okay, let's try and sell this first.
B
Yeah. I bought off there. I definitely bought off Facebook Marketplace, where you have to go to their house and pick up a table and chairs or whatever.
A
You're probably a good buyer. You probably showed up and.
B
Yeah, I did. Yeah. I should have had the cash ready to go. And even then, I was still nervous. And I would let. Not let my wife and kids go. Like, I'm gonna go on my own. I'm gonna go to this guy's house. Or my wife and I would only go, and the kids would stay back with the sitter or something. I'm like, I'm gonna be very intentional about this.
A
It's true. Make sure you have to be careful.
B
Oh, my God. Yeah.
A
The Internet is a scary place.
B
Oh, my God. It's Facebook. Facebook is even scarier.
C
I know.
A
So. But that was Facebook Marketplace lately.
B
Okay.
A
All right. So I was gonna ask if you had any stories, but now you.
B
Yeah. Yeah.
A
If you do decide to sell something, I'll be waiting for the stories.
B
Okay.
A
Because you always have them.
B
Yeah.
A
I have a lot of weird friends now from Facebook Marketplace.
B
I'm sure you do. Have anyone. Has anyone become, like, your actual friend or just. Just those, like, in the moment friends?
A
No, there's some people that are really nice, and it's, like, a cool connection, and they're like. There was one where I was selling these chairs, and the lady was like, oh, my gosh I have this perfect place in my house, and I'm doing this for the first time by myself. And it was like a really cool, cute moment. And then there's other times where they'll just grab it. They won't say a word. They'll venmo you, and it's like, bye. And you've never had the interaction because.
B
They'Re probably, like, me, terrified. They want to get the hell out of there. As quick as they want to get in, they want to get the hell out.
A
And then this one, the air fryer was a couple, and they. It was their first time doing it, so I was like, meeting. And obviously Costco is a big parking lot. And they, like, send a picture of where they're at. They're like, sorry, first time, we don't know what we're doing.
B
Okay, first time swingers. Where do we meet?
A
And they barely said a word, but they're just like, okay, thank you.
B
And they got nervous. Yeah.
A
I was like, oh, good, I'm not gonna hurt you. Here's your air fryer.
B
Yeah. It's almost. I feel like it's a. It's like a comedy skit in the sense of your first time doing Facebook Marketplace, where it sounds like it could be like a meet up, like a sexual thing, but it's not. Like it has those tones in it, like you're afraid and like, I don't know, I feel like in my head I can see what it would be on video.
A
There's like a pineapple involved.
B
Yes. Yeah. Like an SNL type skit. It good for you. Yeah. It is scary.
A
There's a comedian that did one that everybody showed me because I've. I've had so many funny Facebook Marketplace stories lately.
B
Yeah.
A
But there's this comedian who was trying to sell her bed on Marketplace, and it was like this other woman.
B
Yeah. No. Yeah. She turned into, like, a whole thing. Yeah.
A
And it was funny.
B
I rap or a song.
A
I wish I could see more of those.
B
Yeah. She was great. Her whole thing was like. Like, no, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Yes, it is. And so she said. And it was like. Yeah, I remember seeing that. It was like a year ago or whatever.
A
I'm telling you, that's how the conversations actually are.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, that is not exaggerated in any way.
B
She's trying to sell a bed, Right?
A
Yeah. And then the person ended up coming and stealing the neighbor's bed.
B
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's not my bed. Yes, it is. No, it's not. Yes, it is.
A
I still cry watching that. That stupid video.
B
Yeah, it was hilarious. But it's true.
A
Like that's how it is. So there's, so there's my. My Facebook marketplace. And I wanted to ask you because I commented on your video, you had had a video and you played a. A Christmas song. Are you an early Christmas celebrator? Are you not?
B
I know you are. I know the, the moment the pumpkin, the you blow the candle out of the pumpkin on the night of October 31, November 1, you are pulling the you party pull. So when you pull stuff down to get it ready to put it up.
A
Oh, well, this year I was decorated the day before Halloween.
B
Okay, so you were up, you were early.
A
Well, the inside was Christmas, the outside was Halloween. Cuz we had trick or treaters. So we had to have, you know, party inside, party outside, different parties.
B
Okay. Wow.
A
Okay, so it was a vibe.
B
You were a hybrid house, half indica, half sativa.
A
We were going hard, but fright Saturday morning right after Halloween, gave the pumpkins to the deer and then we started decorating further and really exploded the Christmas thing.
B
Oh yeah, you went hard. I saw. Which is kind of cool because I always loved Christmas. But my family growing up, we always waited till Thanksgiving. It was like Thanksgiving would happen and then boom, Black Friday. We didn't go shopping for Black Friday. We. That was our big day. My dad was like going up in the attic and grabbing all the crap and my mom was getting it all. She had the inside, he had the outside. And so it was like a marathon on Friday. And then it was like, if you need anything, then we go to Home Depot or Lowe's and pick up missing things. Or the Christmas store.
A
Yeah.
B
And then get all that kind of stuff. But yeah, but then as now, my kids are different. They want it up immediately. Like, oh my God, our neighbors beat us. They have their lights up and I'm like, I know. But they're also retired and they have nothing but time and I'm busy as crap and so is your mom. So we're gonna try to get to it. Like this is our weekend that we're gonna spend putting up Christmas decorations inside and out.
A
So you're doing early.
B
We are early. Yeah.
A
We're going to be part of the early crowd.
B
We are gonna be part of the early crowd. Yeah. Which I'm okay with because they're kids and they get to enjoy it. And if you look at the, I mean, you look at the grand scheme of things. My oldest is seven, so you only get a few Christmases to really enjoy with him, you know, as their kids. So it's like, I don't really care. It's like, who gives a crap if I do it early or not? It's their excitement and joy is what's so awesome. So if they want to do it November 1st, well, I'll try to do it November 1st, but I don't really have, like, a strong opinion of, like. Oh. The one thing that does suck is when you go to retail stores like a. Like a Costco, and you haven't even had Halloween, and they're already throwing up Christmas crap. Yeah. It kind of kills the vibe because you're kind of like. As a kid, I remember it was so immersed in the Halloween decorations and scary stuff and all that, like, going through the aisles of Target and Walmart and whatever and party stores, and it was fun to live in that all the way through the 31st.
A
And then they do pumpkin stuff. They do pumpkin stuff. Like August, September. They hardly do it in October.
B
I know October comes around and it's already time for Christmas. And I'm like, you kind of kill the vibe and the. The magic, at least at the store of the holidays and that particular holiday that you're trying to be in.
A
And it's because they don't ever, you know, somebody really let down Thanksgiving because there's really not cool decorations for Thanksgiving.
B
There's no cool decorations. There's no cool music. Yeah. There's, like, no theming around Thanksgiving. Which I guess if you look at the root of Thanksgiving, it kind of. It's. It's a stupid holiday.
A
Maybe something that shouldn't be.
B
Shouldn't be celebrated because honestly, with Native and American roots, you're kind of like. Like, Thanksgiving's stupid.
A
Yeah. That's fair.
B
It's like, kind of like this, like, feast of, like, hey, giving. I mean, the. The idea of giving thanks and being grateful. Cool. But like, the whole pilgrims and the Native Americans and them coming here and raping and pillaging the land, the whole thing. So it's kind of like Thanksgiving's dumb.
A
Like a dark undertone to it, for sure. Yeah.
B
So I kind of get like, okay, I don't really care about Thanksgiving. I don't really. We do it, but it's not like.
A
But so maybe that's why commercialized. They never really did anything because it's like, we know that's kind of a dark holiday.
B
Yeah. They feel guilty about it. Like, this is really a great holiday.
A
Yeah. So, like, maybe we don't do decorations for this. It's like fall.
B
Yeah. Yeah. It's like. It's like the purgatory between Halloween and Christmas. Yeah. You're like, how can we get this over as fast as possible? Do a dumb parade and move on and then go right straight to savings, which connect to Christmas.
A
Y.
B
So it's like, boom, get into Christmas as fast as possible, cuz. Yeah. What is are the decorations? It's like that basket that you always see.
A
Cornucopia.
B
Cornucopia with like, random crap in it. The turkey.
A
Yeah. And like, what? I'm a vegetarian. I'm gonna put turkeys all over my house.
B
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
A
That feels weird.
B
Yeah. That's stupid.
A
I do have fall decorations, but they stay up to Halloween. I do Halloween decorations, but then they stay up till Halloween. So then that November is a weird month for it. So, you know, it's just always. My family's been like, we always decorated for Christmas. For Thanksgiving and Christmas.
B
Yeah. Which makes sense to have both. And even theme parks do that too. As soon as Halloween's over, boom, they're getting into Christmas, like November 1st.
A
Because it also allows you to have two months to do a bunch of celebration. Because sometimes it's really hard to get everybody together for one day. And even those two months.
B
So. Yeah. Or if you're traveling, you're not home for Christmas, you get to then enjoy Christmas a little bit longer because of that.
A
Multiple things. So what Marks, this is our kind of final question. What is your first Christmas movie that you watch to mark the start of.
B
The holiday season that we watch this year?
A
It could be this year. It could be like something that you like, really always. Like, this is what your identify is like, okay, we're in Christmas mode. This movie.
B
Well, we already watched because the kids are like, we watch Chris every night. They want to watch a Christmas movie. My son's favorite is Home Alone because he loves the whole Marvin Harry dynamic and he thinks it's hilarious when they get hurt. He's like, oh, my God. He like. He like cracks up in a laughter. That's like. It's. It's. It's so infectious. So I love Home Alone because of that. But we haven't got to it yet because I like to save it. But the one we watched first was the Santa Claus with Tim Allen.
A
Yes.
B
Yes.
A
My favorite Christmas.
B
Absolute. Dude. It's such a great movie, dude. Wife and kids here on a Saturday. Yeah, I forgot. I forgot my computer up here, so.
A
I had to come get it.
B
Ah, that's so cool, dude. Well, thank you for joining us on a Saturday, dude. Have a good Saturday, guys. All right, bye. Get some breakfast on your way out.
A
All right, See you later, Morgan. Don't even care about Saturday. Yeah, I mean, I'm not playing interior.
B
Her face is like, f you. Get out of here. She doesn't like Saturdays. Like, we do. No, we don't.
A
Give me an S. I'm really sorry, guys.
B
Saturday, you. Saturday. R D A Y. I thought he's gonna do give me a Santa Claus S a N and then do it.
A
You let him take it and she takes a mile. You know that.
B
But I'm the same way too, so I. I like doing that with him. It's fun.
A
Yes, but we have to rap. I'm trying to finish our podcast and we can get to work.
B
But now you can put in the title cameo from Lunchbox. No, but yeah, the Santa Claus is so much fun. We love it. And like, like, the lines in there are so cheesy and so hilarious where like, like that scene where the elves are at the desk and they're trying to break out Santa, he's like. And that cop looks at him, he's like, what are you guys? Who are you guys? And he's like, we're elves with attitude. And you're like, oh, my kids are loving it. And they're asking me questions about like, is this the real Santa? Like the whole thing. And I'm like, no, it's a movie. My son goes, is it fiction or non fiction? And I was like. I was like, well, it's a fiction movie, but it's based on non fiction information because, you know, Santa's Santa. But like, this could happen where if this is like a storyline of a Santa passing to the next one when Santa gets old or something happens, there has to be another Santa that comes around, whatever. So this is Hollywood's depiction on that.
A
Yeah. Heck, this is the way that I knew Santa came into the picture.
B
Yeah.
A
So totally. Still to this day, that's all I know is if he falls off a roof, then another Santa comes. So, like, anybody's dad could be Santa.
B
Exactly. Yeah. You see the coat? Put it on. You're Santa now.
C
Exactly.
B
Yeah, totally. It was so fun to watch that because, like the 90s and they get a divorce undertone to it, which is kind of crazy how they. They like work that out. And the best part of the movie is at the end because, you know, that the stepdad try, you know, gets him arrested and the whole thing and he goes to jail and he breaks out the best part of the movie. And I never clicked until just right now. There's that scene where when he comes in because the. The sun's missing. And then Santa. Tim Allen brings in the son. And the mom comes in. She's like, oh, my God, you're home. And he walks in. There's this moment where there's no words said, but he walks in with this, like. Like, chest puffed out, kind of like. Like, fu. And then, like, the stepdad's on his knees, like, charlie, Charlie. He's like, how'd you get here? And he looks up and he sees Tim Allen and him. And I can almost tell the director. Like, the director must have been like, all right, Tim, when you come into that scene, you're effing Santa Claus, bro. He's like. And that guy down there is a loser. And he put you in jail. Screw him. And so when I want you walk into that scene, I want you to walk in there with, like, just umph. Like, you got. You got Santa balls. You got a big Santa sack. Your chest popped out. I want you to own that room. And so when you walk in, I want you to give him the look of F you, bro. And then he. Because then down there, he looks up.
A
I would never do that.
B
Santa would never do that. But this scene, Santa walks in with, like, a. Yeah. Because then you see the other guy's face. The stepdad look up at him like, what? How is he here? And Tim Allen's like, how am I here? Because I'm freaking Santa Claus, bro. That's how I'm here.
A
That is a really cool scene.
B
Such a great scene. There's no words spoken, but it's all just the energy and the body language of, like, bro, I told you. You said I was crazy. I'm Santa Claus. That's how I'm here.
A
He is Santa. And you know why? You can't convince me any otherwise.
B
Yeah.
A
Still to this day, Tim Allen is Santa Claus.
B
Yeah, it's awesome.
A
Parading as a normal human every day here on Earth. And I also the part of. Did you have your kids watch the new version of that? Because they all came back for a TV show.
B
A TV show. I haven't seen it yet. I think what we'll do is, like. We'll do the whole drip of, like, 1, 2. And there's a third one.
A
Yep. There's three of them.
B
Yeah. So we'll do a 1, 2, and 3, and then get into the TV show that way Gives us something to look forward to.
A
Yeah, you should, because it's good. I mean, it's just more nostalgia than anything.
B
Yeah.
A
It's like the best TV show of all time.
B
Yeah. I'm sure it's cheesy and terrible.
A
Yes. But it's nostalgia and it plays into that show. If you love that movie.
B
Yeah. Like Bernard. Does he come back in the TV show?
A
The only one that didn't come back. But I think he might be coming back for season two. There was talk about that.
B
Okay.
A
So I love him. Only one that didn't make a comeback.
B
Okay. I know he had a moment in the 90s because he was.
A
Yeah, I don't.
B
He was from the Addams Family movie.
A
From the 90s first series, Santa Claus. I don't think he did. It's been a minute since I watched it.
B
Bernard's attitude was awesome.
A
No, he did.
B
Yes. Okay, cool.
A
Yeah. But it took him. It wasn't in the first few episodes.
B
Okay.
A
I was remembering.
B
That's smart, though, because you're. You're waiting for it because Bernard's such a pivotal character as well.
A
He really is.
B
Okay, cool.
A
So he's in there. And then. Yeah. Mine would be the Holly Grinch Christmas.
B
That's a good one. Yeah.
A
The real one with Jim Carrey and.
B
Yes. Cindy Lou. Who?
A
Yeah, Taylor.
B
Yeah. From Gossip Girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
A
I love her. I always wanted to be her. Cindy Lou is my girl.
B
Cindy Lou who?
A
I loved her. I might decorate. I might, like, dress up as her at some point this year.
B
That's cool.
A
Yeah. Or Martha May Hoovier.
B
Martha. That'd be a cool one. That's a fun one, too, because on the Universal lot in la, where I used to work at, they. I used to go by the Grinch. That whole, like, you know, the scene, like the Whoville scene, they still had that. There was part of the Backlot tour. But also when I worked Holly and horror nights, our station, we had like, our. Like our drink water replenish station was on the Whoville a lot because we was. Because it was next to Amityville where, like the Amityville for Psycho, the hotel and the house is right next to the Grinch. So when you're watching the Grinch movie, right behind that whole scene with the Christmas tree and everything in the middle of Whoville, right behind it is Psycho.
A
So as you're watching, that's ironic.
B
You're like. You're like, this is a great Christmas movie, but right behind it as death and destruction and murder and and Psycho.
A
That's crazy. Yeah, I didn't know that.
B
That's pretty crazy. Yeah.
A
But also, I'm jealous you've been on that. Because Holly Grinch was just one of my favorite movies of all time, but also Christmas. So, yeah, I'm jealous now. Okay. Yeah, we're going to leave.
B
We have to leave.
A
The Green Monster.
B
Oh, yeah. Is that a new strain? The Green Monster sounds like a good sativa.
A
The Green Monster is like of envy. Green Monster.
