I have to say the experience of launching a new podcast
completely podcasting 2.0 Only on podcast index.org Only was
value for value streaming payments.
And on specialized podcast apps to right now only on
only unpack well, you can add it to any any app you want. But you
can't get it if you if you're using. Like Apple. You'd have to
add it manually. Yeah, because it's a man fighting against the
man. Excuse me. Apples, the man who were fighting against the
man, we want to do this pure 2.0 We don't want to have everyone
just part of the show. But yeah, the responses. The feedback was
really nice. It was so nice to me mainly friends and family.
Yeah, my sister out in Indiana spreading the podcast all of her
friends and colleagues and business people and love that.
Now shout out to Lisa. Thanks.
What are we? What are we drinking here because this is a
winery Wednesday. Typically the idea is that we go to a winery
here in the hill country. And then we bring a report and we
rate the wine we rate the overall ambience we rate the
sommelier and the charcuterie board. Then once again we have
failed to go to a winery. Oh,
that's because we've been indulging and other things we
went to. We went to the separate event at vaudeville, which was a
wine pairing
hold on first. What are we drinking?
Oh, what are we drinking? It's called Oh goodness. It's called
shackled shopping California. shackled or I'm sorry unshackled
it's unsure. 2019 California cab.
Okay, when we try again.
Okay, it's fabulous.
The color colors. Fantastic.
You can't do that though. I like that. We never did. We never did
can't Why but you have to cancel it for the
show now because they're probably going to drink the
whole bottle. Yes. And
seeing as we went to this Christmas party yesterday at
vaudeville, which is probably the best restaurant in
Fredericksburg. I'd say it's certainly it has the class and
it's not really it's a bistro. And they're not open. And
they're not open every night and most things aren't open every
night here. But it's two guys who run this place. And one is
the chef and the other is like the proprietor. I would say
Rashard. Yes. And he invited us to join the wine club and then
to come to the Christmas party. And we went this was an
interesting education in Hill Country Chic. Well, we
haven't done much in Hill Country. So we're like, you know
what we're gonna get out we're gonna see if we can meet people
we're gonna get out and you know, just enjoy a night out.
And so we ended up going to
You were pretty skeptical. You were like, from the moment I
sent you the invitation, you kind of ignored that. And then
we got roped into into joining and committing because we bumped
into the owner or you're having dinner? Yeah, you were like,
Well, how long? How long is it gonna take and then it was an
after party, which sends Tina into some kind of like, the term
after party is just bad to you. Well, I don't want to be an
after party.
Was not interesting to me at all to be there for late, late. I
just wasn't just wasn't it.
So this is basically just the wine tasting and the cheese and
stuff. But the people there. I think that was the most fun for
us. Yeah.
Interestingly enough, a lot of people think that Fredericksburg
is nothing but old people. And that's quite the opposite. There
are a lot of young people here too. There are a lot of older
people. But there are a lot of young people we saw a lot of lot
of young people last night, and they were the the the fashion of
the evening with sequins. Everywhere, gold and silver and
red and black. It was everywhere. And I'm like, shoot,
I didn't wear my sequence. But like head
to toe, complete sequence suit. I mean, to me it was it was like
Diana Ross only not Diana Ross. Girl, you're flashing my eyes
with your sequence and just bouncing off of Yes. Yeah. I
don't think we didn't really talk too. Well. We talked a
couple that on our way out as you were bailing. They were
bailing too.
Yeah, we saw one person that we know Sarah. But yeah, I mean, it
was just kind of nice. We saw the the owner or the proprietor.
And yeah, it was it was a nice event. I mean, it was fine.
Yeah, we came home and we had nothing to eat and so there was
no food there like, just Well, that was the after party. They
were they're gonna kill us. pigs or sheep or something
they were pouring the alcohol like nobody's business but there
was no nothing to stop up the alcohol no system just cheese.
She's like
I got a bit too this morning. What huh? Wine and cheese. Great
for the day. Wine and cheese is what I feel
is nice to get out and vaudeville is it's it's a nice
restaurant. Interestingly enough, it has a it has a retail
store above the bistro and it's kind of a high end. They carry
Waterford and baccarat in a lot of high end.
Oh yeah. Very Rolex winding boxes and stuff. You know, like
flasks for four gentlemen. It's, it's a perfect gift store for
that person. You want to spend some money on but don't know
what to
get. But it's in the middle of Main Street, in Downtown
Fredericksburg, surrounded by tchotchke stores, which is kind
of like you know, it's like an island in the in the middle of
Main Street. That's kind of it's really
odd, because it's the two gay guys. I think they're married.
And they're flamboyant. They have total, like runway style,
you know, all of it and, and there's the the local Fred
people just enjoying the enjoyment sequence with their
sequence like, remember, I'm going to vaudeville I'm gonna
wear my seat. Let me get them out of the mothballs. I think I
haven't since 1965.
Adam and I are terrible, too. Because we judge everybody.
We're like, look at that. Look at that. Look at the girl with
white boots.
No, you're the one that yes, you're the one that said. Look
at the one with the white boots. What do you think this is always
dangerous when you say what do you think? Because, you know, I
have to really study what this is always a trick question. Let
me see. So do I do I want this? You want it to be good? Not
good. Is it something about this? Yeah, huh? Yeah. Well, men
know you gotta be careful. This this woman had all white on and
knee high white boots. Kind of like a, like one of those in the
marching band.
She looked like Nancy Sinatra. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
These boots are made for walking. Yeah, exactly. She
definitely said, great. But if you if you said Hey, Baby, what
do you think's like, go out on this and be like, take them off.
Just take it all off. Take it off. One thing.
My job is
Adam will look at me he'll like, go take that off. And I return
the favor as you do. But you do it differently. I'm like, Oh,
you iron your shirt. You did? Like
you're wearing that. And they'll say what's it good? No, it's
fine. It's fine. I printed mine the F word in the house. It's
fine. Yeah. Yeah. So that was nice. Well, this will be our
first a first Christmas in Fredericksburg and Christmas
without anybody no one's here. Yeah, yeah. All the mother kit
that's this is obviously why we have Miss Phoebe boo Faye is to
fill the void of children who have abandoned us for the
holidays. He
is to give us any grandchildren. Or add any grandchildren. Yeah,
he's ready to be grandpa. Me not ready to hit the grandma
moniker.
I'm ready. I'm ready. I want to teach some kids stuff and then
give them back.
So yeah, so it's the two of us so it's gonna be a new normal
for us. Yeah.
So so we got Ellen in Maine. We've got Elyse in New York and
Christina in Rotterdam, right. We're actually trying to get
Christina and Kevin, her new partner who is not a birthing
person? No. This is new.
Man. He's a man that a bird.
Well, he might be he can be a birth.
Sis. Sis. Head. Yeah,
he's a dude, isn't it? Yeah. But he's very sweet to his mom. Oh,
yeah. Yeah, he's also from he's kind of from the ghetto. He's
from the kind of he worked himself up out of like, the bad
parts of Rotterdam. Kind of the gangster hood, the hood, the
hood? Without a doubt.
There's the hood and Rotterdam.
There's a hood, but he still takes care of his mom. Yeah, he
doesn't live in the hood anymore.
We're hoping they're gonna be out soon. Yeah. So, you know,
the rule now for with Omicron Omicron Omicron they change that
non immigrant non citizens have to show proof of vaccination
with booster now. Oh, which of course almost no one has. Oh, so
is that three shots? That's three Yeah. And and there's all
these discrepancies because now Kevin had one shot and then he's
like, Nope, not gonna do that again.
Did he have a not a good reaction? No, I did not have a
good reaction.
He kind of got coerced into it, you know, typical story anyway.
It was just not for him. So he's not going to do a second one.
Christina says like, I don't need it. I've been I've slept
next to sick people for weeks and I whatever's I'm not gonna
get it so I'm not gonna get Cuf but I'm not going to get the
shot. I'm going to get poof, she's I'm not going to get it.
You have to respect that, of course. And I think she's right.
So now how do so she can come in because citizens can. This is
how stupid it is citizens can come in without vaccination, but
they have to have a test. Okay, that's fine. But non citizens
can because you know, your passport makes all the
difference. And so we're working the backchannels of, you know,
the people I know. And there's ways to do it. The caveat is,
this is pretty funny. He would probably have to quarantine in
our house for five days, which, okay, they were planning on
coming here anyway, right? That's not a problem.
Who's gonna? How are they going to check on it? They will.
Or at least they can. And, and in addition to that, yes, to
take a test on the fifth day, and then submit that. And this
was the funny part. I was asked several times by my people. Has,
does he have a criminal record? I was like, No, he doesn't have
a criminal? No. Are you? Absolutely sure. So I'll double
check.
And he'll get out of he'll be free. Right? Because letting the
criminals
know. Now, interestingly, the path that we're taking was just
some kind of diplomatic exemption. I don't know, I don't
ask questions of my friends. They're just so sweet to help
us. If should he lie about that? Then he would be refused entry
into the US for 20 years. So I'm like, Hey, man, I'm just asking.
I'm just gonna ask again, just so we all know what's going on.
If you have if anything above a parking ticket, you tell me,
give me a break. And so then our borders are completely open.
Mexico and just walk right over? Yeah. And we know a lot of them
have criminal records. I'm not saying all of them, but we know
that they do have and that's okay. Yes.
Hey, but most people can't get it at all. We might be able to
get them in for New Years.
Yeah, that would be nice. Yeah, we I haven't seen Christina it's
going on. Sure. The three years, three years in May.
And they just extended their curfew, which is 5pm to 5am. No
one allowed out on the street for another until January
January 14. This was supposed to
really nobody on the street, you can't get no
you cannot be outside after 5pm and before 5am.
And so are there any businesses that are open in in Holland? Not
not after 5pm I mean, all the restaurants must be just
completely
obliterated. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's completely screwed the
crazy over there. The crazy.
I'm glad we live in Texas.
Especially Fredericksburg is now I would they vote to be a
sanctuary city. So no. government, state or federal
could ever shut down Fredericksburg business again.
Right. What was the thing that they just passed and Gillespie
county to oh, that's to get
money from the old that opioid settlement. Yeah, it destroyed a
lot of people here to make continues. Yeah. Oh, yes. Bad.
Is that Sackler? Is that pretty?
Yeah, yeah. Well, no, it's just just Purdue. It's also Johnson
and Johnson who are paying five times the fine of Purdue. Mm
hmm. No, but don't pay attention to that.
Yeah. Yeah. Yes. All right. All right. Well, fingers crossed.
Christina and Kevin will be here soon. Yeah, yeah. And then my
sisters are coming out. My sister Tony and Lisa are coming
out. Lisa's been here several times. So she likes hanging out.
We're coming out together the sisters Yeah, we should have
mother podcast. Holy crap. That'll be I don't have enough
microphones or limiters. And I don't think we would it's hard
to explain three Midwest girls who are sisters hanging out
together and
we're all badass man. We don't take shit from anybody watch the
Kardashians of Northwest Indiana. You are? You are? Let
me know i armpit of America, or the Kardash I mean, I know that
I know that Tony. You know, Tony will beat people up. If you say
so much. You say something wrong about her sister's like she will
jump over the bar and rip your head off. She's great.
That's the one thing about my mom. Like she taught us not to
take shit from anybody. So we don't we just don't I know
darling. I've been with you for six and I've been quote unquote
married to you for six and a half years. So yes, I know. I

funny and kind and generous and other fun. I love saying that my
brother in law's Adam curry. They love it that really
worked out really works in Northwest Indiana. Still people
are still walking around with their headbangers ball hair.
Yeah, man I know the bed no man headbangers ball well when
my sister Angie passed away three oh my god three years ago
crazy and we had the little memorial service for her and hit
me. Alright,
I need some more any more. No, don't cheers. Me with some more
while I was in the middle of it. Sorry, I'm sorry.
Oh, hold on, hold on. I
gotta do it for effect. There we go it's barely hitting the
noise. Okay, it's good. Thank you. Anyway, when Angie
had her, we had her memorial service
now December. Now cheers. Cheers.
I hope you're drinking with us. Somebody had tweeted, we're
gonna have shorts but not have an AIG and I don't know where
the AIG situation came in. Why they mentioned that we don't
have eggs in wind.
They don't go Tina, you have to. And let's put a pin in your
story. Okay. Tina has open phobia.
Yeah, they're disgusting.
She has a real egg issue cannot eat eggs and it's a childhood
trauma. We don't have to get into it.
Oh, so we went when we went to the supper event at vaudeville
with absolutely love what
you can expect this is something different. Wait, hold on a
second. Let me step back. So we don't spend money a lot. We love
to travel. That's kind of done. The one thing we've always liked
to do is at least once a year have one crazy ass dinner at
some restaurant that you really should just never go to. And so
we don't have that. We've been a couple of you know, in Paris. We
did one in Vegas. We did. Joel Rubin shoddily we did. Italy so
we you know we had and that's where I propose to you. Yeah, so
that was a perfect one. I know. Thank you, including fireworks.
In fireworks. Were there fireworks Did you see fireworks
but you didn't arrange for those what
you think? Oh, George Clooney. George fry that shit up man.
presser Come on. Yeah. Shit. All right. So the restaurant
vaudeville this is this is where this is like our set our
universe now. This is one restaurant. They have once a
month, a supper club, which you know, you have to sign up for
It's the secret handshake. It's a whole different part in the
back
door. You got to go through it if you didn't even know. Yeah,
then and you know, obviously it's it's a fixed price. And you
can choose if you want to have the wine tasting with it. So I'd
heard about this. We had missed missed one or two since we've
been here a couple perhaps it's a one was coming up. And then
you know, we got on the list. And so we went and this was
seven courses.
Seven courses seven. Yeah, every
course had a wine and we know all the personnel pretty much at
the restaurant anyways, it was really nice. It was really fun
to do because they were the I mean, what tell us about the
food? Do we took pictures. We had those in the show? Oh my
gosh,
let me see if I can even pull them up with yours
is ever so bad. We take pictures of the food? Well, because I
knew we were going to talk about No, no, but we've taken pictures
of all our expensive restaurant foods.
Well, we started off with some type of champagne cocktail that
had the little little smoke rose pin on it. Yes, sage. So I can't
remember what that was a little Barbie doll clothes pin. And
then then it started with. Oh my gosh, I'm looking at the
pictures. It was it looked like salmon. Like in a row. Oh yeah.
It was a row with a little bit of caviar at the top. Yeah,
absolutely beautiful. It was beautiful.
It was almost ashamed to eat it.
But every every dish that came out was a work of art. It was
and it was paired with
maybe 50 people I think the whole the whole night. That's
what they serve.
Yeah. And the one thing though that came out that I was not
happy about
was I saw it. I saw it coming out.
What was it? Well, I can't remember what it was was a
polenta that was a polenta and right smack in the in the in the
movie
freaking a bra. Ah, in the center. So they're serving it,
you know, they're going through their whole diatribe about oh,
you know, it's infused with this and laced with this and blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm looking at it and I look at Adam
and I go
I don't like eat around it. Honey, eat around it. Just eat
around it. It's okay. It won't hurt you don't pierce it appears
that you ruin your meal. Honestly, I didn't pierce the
egg yolk either.
I just I'm just I know.
You've ruined me. I used to like eggs a lot. You kind of like
who puts a freaking egg on a hamburger? That is the most
disgusting. One of our relationship moments. Oh, yeah.
Yes. Explain that. You explain yesterday we
were we were flying out it was after show on a Thursday. I
don't remember where we were going. We were going somewhere
and we were at the airport and awesome, tired, tired. He's
bleary eyed. And he had to pack up a studio and crumbling and we
weren't we weren't married yet. We were dating. Oh, really? And
so we ended up just ordering airport food and I ordered a
burger and they opened up my book There's a freaking fried
egg on it. And I turned to Adam like, oh my god, there's an ag
on it. And he turns to me, he's like, just take it off and eat
it. I'm like he didn't fully
accept your trauma. I was so off base with that one. I
Yeah. Yeah, I guess you had to be there. But no, no, everyone
understands exactly what was going on. Yeah.
So yes, no, I'm not a person. But anyway, other than the AIG
in the it was like a soup sort of plantas soup. Yeah, yeah.
Everything else was good. But the whole evening was now I
don't do eggs. i The only way to do eggs are in a cake. cooked.
Yes. But not I can't eat the potato salad with the chunks egg
in it.
Well, when you say chunks, it already sounds so appetizing.
And remember when I was on Instagram, and I would sit there
and I would just watch these egg recipes, like, oh, it just
grossed me out. But I was just feeding the algo it was like
looking at an accident, right? And I was feeding the algo. So
AIG recipes just kept coming up. I'm I
know that my dear wife has an addiction. Or addiction, it
varies. You know, sometimes she'll go from Twitter to
Instagram, but I'd say the addiction is there. It's and
then the egg thing was interesting because I love
watching the algos. And you know, I can see exactly how
she's looking at cake. And you like take a lot of people making
cake spinning cakes, cakes out of different colors and cool
cakes and but then when the egg thing the algo was just feeding
the eggs and you just kept on like looking at him like he
couldn't look away and then algo went more eggs, more eggs, more
eggs. She liked we were like I was getting free offers for eggs
from Instacart. Like Stop, stop, stop, stop. So I love you for
that. Doesn't it fry your brain? What social media?
Yeah, you know, I don't mind it. Oh, my I'm not on Facebook. But
I do. I mean, I I've curated my, my Instagram. I do not follow
celebrities. Thank
you. Oh, okay. I don't follow any celebrities train the algo
to
Dan, I'm trying to tell me what I should should say, you know,
like, put the black box up and say this and denounce that and I
don't need some Hollywood person telling me what I should and
should not think. So. It's very curated. So I follow a lot of
fitness, a lot of health, a lot of functional medicine. I
follow. I follow certain families. I have my Insta
families that I follow that I know all their stories and I'm
invested in their life. I don't know who they are. But I'm
invested. So um, yeah, no, I enjoy it.
I like the real or the real. Nice tick tock repurposed on
rails. That's today's television. There's no doubt
about it. Those guys are kicking ass. I have to admit. There's
nothing like sitting there. Everything's 30 seconds. It's a
cute dog video. It's a cute kid video. It's funny. Relationship.
Husband wife doing pranks on each other. You don't like it?
Boom. You're on to the next one. Oh my kids that boom onto the
next one. I hate those. My kids. Oh, yeah. Like, it was one year
ago. And I feel no, no, I feel that I feel that but that's
like, but we
don't want to watch them to be put to know Debbie Downer.
That's the
algo trying to see Are you ready? Yeah. Are you ready for
some downer? Do you want a little downtime? Yeah, they
throw that in. I'm convinced of it. It's
so now that we have a dog we watch a lot of dog type videos
and yeah, the algos do. We do eat nuts that So how was
the dog doing?
She's doing well. Oh, we have a report though. We had some
friends. Oh
yeah. A couple weekends ago have an important report. These
are my friends. These are my very first friends from Austin
from Ronald McDonald House charity. I'm friends with all of
them. Yeah, I'm sure they're friends of ours. But um, so they
came over for loha holiday gathering. They were all super
excited to meet Phoebe.
That's right. They all came in like Hey, Adam. Hey, Phoebe.
Phoebe? Phoebe here
they brought her gifts and bring them anything. Anyway, so one of
my friends Allison, who's a school teacher. She loves
animals she does and,
and we love Alison too. She's She's a challenge in our life,
but we love her. I have respect for school teachers. You cannot
take that away from me. No matter how
much she didn't know that about how
woke she is? What did she know
playing the game and she thought math was on a boat. I'm a math.
Math. I go you're an English teacher. English teacher. She
got a math ma SS is on a boat.
Alcohol edible that she consumed. I have no idea how
they got that. Who was who was handing out edibles.
That would be you you're the Mr. Candyman.
Hey, let's play a game. Yeah, it doesn't candy. You play the game
anyway.
So Alison fee He was sleeping by Adam and Alison came up behind
her. And Phoebe doesn't kind of
like like did a whole mirror spooning bear hug type thing
with Phoebe and
Phoebe turned around and she, she bitter, she bitter, bitter,
she drew water.
She drew blood, like two little holes in her arm.
Yeah, like Vampire holes. It
was. It was very it was shocking. I blame myself because
I should have seen that someone was doing something messed up
with a dog because she, I mean, that could have happened to
anybody. Maybe not us because she knows us now. Yeah, well,
Dale was like, oh, Phoebe, don't worry. Do sheep sheep.
Feels like fuck Alison. I was devastated though. Because the
last thing I wanted was our dog to be biting I guess. But my
friend Letty Who? Who? Who has had rescue dogs had said to me,
she's like, Look, she's a rescue. She has trauma. You
cannot come up on a dog like that. You just can't. And she
said if you are gonna throw her away because of that. Throw her
my way. I will
take her I was I was not ready to throw her away.
No, I wasn't either. But I was shocked. I mean, I want that to
happen. Phoebe and I were at the mailbox. You know, I met our
mailboxes are up a central place. And we met the mail
carrier Diane. Oh, her name is Diane, Diane. I know Diane
because she's brought many at you. We have a long driveway and
the UPS guy lose all the shit out. Like, you know 200 yards
away. You got to carry it up. No Christmas present for him. Now,
the United States Postal Service Worker which is a constitutional
job. I have great respect just like Allison.
Except grumpy at the post office. Well,
even then, even then, but I have respect for the mail carriers.
And so I was like, hey, Dianne, I didn't know her name then. And
I introduced her to Phoebe. And Seabees She's precious.
Beautiful, like sniffs it's down. We're chatting. She just
sitting beautiful, you know, perfect. And I'd said to Diane,
make sure you come up tomorrow or whatever. You know, the we
got a Christmas gift for you. And it opens Wi Fi bees barking
at I'm like, What the fuck are you doing? And she was like, I
was okay. I just threw me back. Like what what is that? It's
part of the trauma. It's got to be because I had heard was Diane
if he's like, Hi. What are you doing?
I don't understand either. We know that she's, she has Trump.
Yeah. And every time a diesel truck pickup truck goes by she
with a with a trailer with the trailer. Yes. Yeah, she was the
best.
I don't know. It just breaks my heart. She's the sweetest dog.
We've had no problem other than her biting Alison. But
that's not really a problem.
Everyone wants to bite out.
No, I mean, Alison, she was really at fault. But we've had
no problem with her and to the thought.
You slip that in. She was really at fault.
Well, no, she shouldn't come up.
It was a dumb idea of I take response. Yeah,
yeah. But um, plus my point. I don't other than that. She's
just been a fantastic job. I can't understand why anybody
would have abandoned her.
It's weird not to have a backstory. Yeah, it's really
weird
when I see all these stories about on my Instagram reels
about people rescuing dogs, and you know, bringing them back to
health and just caring for them it. It makes me sad to think
that that's exactly what Phoebe went through. Because she is a
great dog. And I don't understand why somebody just I
guess that happens all the time. I just don't understand it. So
people, yeah, especially dogs. And I think especially in rural
communities, they're easy to toss dogs aside if they don't
fulfill the mission. Yeah, yeah. She fulfills our mission. Man,
what a great watch dog. What a beautiful, lovely companion.
Yeah, it's so bad now that half the time that when we're in the
house, you'd like what? No, I was talking to the dog.
Would you say no. When I was talking to Phoebe, we've
actually turned into those people that we used to make fun
of all the time, although we will not take her to a
restaurant or anything like that. Just turn those people.
Green kids. You know, we don't have any kids around. So
she does not like toys.
No, does not. Choice just likes her bones. That's it. Yeah.
Yeah.
She likes hanging out. She likes hanging out with us. Basically.
Not in the studio tonight. She was she was tired.
Yeah. What's interesting though, is watching her kind of unfold
because the first one we first had the first few days goes down
like a lotus. Yeah, her tail was down. She didn't interact. Now.
She's so happy to see us. Her tail is wagging. She gets
on her back with her legs wide open. With you. She's like, hi.
I trust
you. Adam does not hate dogs. He adores
dogs. Of course. They're people and you know that
people to to Yeah, exactly. Let's do
a couple boosted grams because As you know pardon now again we
started this show because we thought it would be fun to do
and people might listen like listening to it and that turns
out to be true so far sophomore show you never know
Yeah, we don't know where it's going we still we haven't we
haven't gotten our legs under we are gonna we
are going to get guests in we're definitely gonna get on the show
for sure. And that would be a variety of people. Oh man.
Oh man, we could get my sister on here cuz she's got all those
plastic surgery stories,
but she will she's she devolves risky device. She doesn't say
any names. It's like a HIPAA violation. Any name your sisters
or what she has shit on her phone
Look at that. Oh my god, can you please
look at this labia plasti
this by the way is where my ears perk up this is from like that
one no I'm not like that at all. Or like like Now luckily I have
a lot of experience with the plastic surgery industry so I
know some things I'm just because my ex wife was basically
Mr. Potato Head all the pieces were stuck on you know if I paid
for him to Mrs. Potato Head Yeah, but but it was it's
interesting to know all the things and but holy crap
she is funny funny funny stories.
Just about the pleasures
like the crazy like what the doctor that she works for told
the patient that she should take a bag of peas and use the P to
help with the swelling and the woman turn to the doctor said
should I take the peas out of the bag? He's like no, you keep
the peas in the bag. Definitely
having the sisters on when they're here. That'll be crazy.
That would be crazy. I can't wait. Maybe we shouldn't have
any interesting people just our friends are interesting and
family there's
so many so many of our friends. Yeah, we have a lot of
interesting friends
but what I mean is no one like it social media people that
people were talking about No, it's like I think we just have
our own people. We got to get Mike on the show with Mike we
put mike on the show who say ask him one quick hey Mike. So what
was it like being Coppin? Carville and then just walk
away? And then we have wine we come back and then Mike still
telling a story. I guess story, Mike is that story? Yeah,
exactly. Stories. Okay, well, alright, so
we're gonna go into booster grams. And then we have some
emails. We have questions from my friend Julie Simon from
Austin sent me well, you want to just some question.
Let's do that first. Because what I'd like is I don't know
exactly what we're doing. We are just we've agreed we're not
we're doing but to hear from people like Julie. Now we know
Julie and Ben, we've known them from Gosh, when we first started
dating six, seven years,
I was doing a video for Ronald McDonald House Charities. And
she used to work for one of the local television stations. And
she offered to she volunteered her time to help with the
videos. And she did all the interviewing, right? So I did
the directing and the producing and she did all the
interviewing. She was she became a friend. And I actually met her
right when we started dating.
And I remember we went to dinner with her and her husband,
husband, Ben. Yeah, I remember I was trying to kind of connect
with Ben didn't really know why. But then all of a sudden, they
crop up. years later. Like we basically not been in contact
touch with her. When I worked at Ronald McDonald House.
Three years, at least probably. And then she's like, Oh my God.
We're in Austin. And you know, things are changing. And we
listened to Adam show, and oh my god. So they came out and had a
really good day. And it really was nice to connect with you
were working. It was nice to connect
with them. Yeah. Yeah. So I was in Chicago at the time that
we're in Chicago. Oh, that's right. You weren't? Yes. That's
right. Yeah. So
so she so she, she listened and she sent us an email. Yes, she
said
it was so wonderful. Hearing your voice after so long felt so
familiar. There, they would really love to come out to
Fredericksburg. So then she said how many people listening Do you
think laid in bed Saturday morning looking at Frederick
Burke Fredericksburg property on Zillow like we did and then
listen to a podcast about life and post Austin. It was eerie.
It's a sequined life baby and she goes on she she says it was
all new you guys dating when we did our video so it was like a
refresher stroll down memory lane for me hearing how you all
met etc. Here's what I want to hear more of since you guys are
so open about your opposition to the mainstream. I am taking
notes how to be bold and brave and still comfortable in social
situations. So one of the first questions she said how how have
your previous life friends lifelong friends reacted to
hearing you don't have a ticket on the left D train. Um, I guess
for me, I I don't cross over into those types of
conversations. I would I have to say one friend back in Florida
that's kind of distanced herself a little bit from me. But I
still I reached out to her and wished her happy birthday, but
we just we steer away from those conversations. And
yeah, it's interesting. Now, I don't have many friends. But
even like the friends that I have, that those problems don't
really exist like even Tim and Kim are friends who are
definitely Democrats. And by the way, I'm not a Republican, I'm
not meaning member of any party of anything. I vote how I feel
are not party lines or right left or anything, but I tend to
be more conservative with a lot of things but I'm very liberal
with other things we see fit is even if they have different
views, and we discuss different views. It's not a it's an issue.
Ellison for instance, she's very much of a Democrat. We've had
Alicia is
she is she's like spiking left, like massively
left. And we've had her home several times and had very great
conversations and walks away. We were fine. We completely respect
each other's perspectives. And there is some crossover, it
isn't all just right. Yeah,
that's what I love seeing because even Allison isn't she's
not completely all. There's always some bit no one is left
or it's not binary, I guess is what I'm Yeah, yeah. And if you
find if you just go into that, like, it's not binary man, that
the thing that is that you think would be hard is vaccine on
backs. We both are not vaccinated. And we have our own
reasons, but mainly because we think we're healthy,
not putting that shit in my body. No,
that should nobody. Nope. But again, it's up to everybody
else. But I would say everyone who came to visit us was all
backson. Yeah. And they they didn't see no problem. No one
was being weird about it. No, no, not at all. And they really
appreciated them for
that. And a majority of my family, including my two
daughters are vaccinated, and they I completely respect their
choice, and they respect mine. So it has it has not been an
issue.
If anything, they would be worried that you would get sick.
Yeah, that's the only that's exempt even that I don't think
there's thinking that anymore. Yeah, I see more and more people
saying, huh, yeah, What? What? I gotta do another one. What is
this signal word number? What's your number? That's mo by the
way. I mean, I picked that up. I started using I gotta get mo
props. He's the one that started saying, what's
your what's your number? Kimo. We've given you props as he
deserves. Um, okay. Then the next question is, have you had
some really uncomfortable moments where you've been called
names? Yes. I had someone.
Tina calls me names all the time. It's not annoying.
I do that. I've had somebody very close to me that I love
very much referred to me as a white supremacist because we
watch Tucker Carlson at night. And the reason we watch Tucker
Carlson is for Adam's job. That's why we do it, because I
think he's absurd. Half the time. But yeah, I mean, and I
just, I just disputed it, and he's
really done. It's really even. Yeah, but that's knee jerk.
That's all knee jerk stuff. Um, I mean, it's professional. It's
hard. It's professional and personal blur. So much. Nothing
hurts me anymore. I've been called names since the moment I
was on the radio when I was 15. Yeah, so I'm so used to people
calling me names.
And when you were, you're not as active on Twitter as you used to
be. But when you were Yeah, people were coming at you left
and right. Because you know, people are just so they're
warriors behind their keyboard.
So I just like stuff that important to me. I just, I
always think, why am I wasting my good energy on someone else's
platform? I'd rather wasted on Korean the keeper, or no agenda.
Much more fun. Yeah, this is our own shit we can talk about I
don't need to argue with people on Twitter. And people can
sit there and call us. Call me all sorts of names. I don't
care. I stand on my own truth. I know who I am. I don't need to
prove that to anybody. And I don't I don't really care. Sexy
when you talk like that. Thank you. Let's see. How do you
maneuver this with your millennial daughters? Do they
think you are not ball? No, actually, I have very, very
spirited intellectual conversations with my oldest
daughter and we completely respect where each other is
coming from. And it's wonderful. It's wonderful to have that and
I completely respect exactly what they believe in and what
how they want to live their life. They're grown women. And I
you know, I just think about how when I was their age, my parents
were older. And we my parents thought we were crazy because we
were young and I think we're just in that mindset of you
know, they're just think differently. They're a different
generation. And so I I think that You know, I think the
respect goes both ways with at least Yeah, I think it goes both
ways. Now with Christina, Christina is very much in line
alignment with how you think, don't you?
Oh, yeah, totally. She's always been like that. But of course, I
had her drinking rainwater when she was nine. Didn't we can't
drink the fluoridated water baby. Don't drink out of the TAF
seek some rainwater out of this barrel. So she got an
indoctrination very, very early. Yeah. But she's she's, she's
beaten her own path. Yeah, she helps a lot of people too. She's
really good at helping young people figuring out stuff.
Christina is an old soul. She's very wise. Old life for sure.
Yeah, for sure. Um, so I think that at a certain point,
everyone, you know, when you're around the 25 year level you can
start to that's when a child can start to have a rational
conversation with their parent, I think.
Yeah. If they're, yeah, if they're open to it. There's some
people that are Yeah,
so we're fortunate that way, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.
Um, she also asked what's it like starting over in a new town
at your stage of life? Do you think there's something to not
staying in the same town for life with lifelong friends he
thought would be in your life forever.
Well, you can't ask. I've moved 37 times in my life.
Yeah, my lifelong friends are in the Chicago area. And with the,
with the internet, with, you know, social media with texting
with FaceTime. It's Dave, it I don't feel like
but even our friends in Austin, we have been entertaining more
than we ever had. Have since we've been together. Now we have
a nice guest suite, which is nice. But when you move out of
Austin, you can get something a little bigger. We have a great
so people are rich friends. Really rich friends come here
and want to stay. Yeah, that means that we're a destination.
Yeah, we're an important destination. But that's been
great people coming over. They we drink we go to dinner, we
hang out. They stay overnight. In the morning. Goodbye. Yeah.
And you know, the some of them don't want coffee. See?
And we have some friends here in we have Mike and Sarah who are
friends. So I would say I would say it's been exciting starting
over. I've enjoyed it immensely. And you're my favorite person to
be around? Yeah, I didn't get I did. Yeah. You're good.
We get along pretty well.
We do. You're funny. You make me laugh?
I think. Yeah. Now we don't have your typical nine to five. Job
lifestyle. Not usually. So it's not your results may vary. But I
find it very easy to make acquaintances and perhaps
subsequently fat friends out here. Yeah, I definitely like
the people we've just encountered so far. I consider
them to be good buddies. Yeah, like if I know is like I'm gonna
have to, you know, powerwash the roof. I know. I know. Mike, my
guy. Eric's gonna be the guy for that.
Well, I met this at work. This guy happened to walk in and we
started conversation Tom and he he lives in Waco now and his
daughter went to school with my daughter and bada boom, Bada
bing. He's our landscaper.
He also drives the limo over he he drives the pink limo for the
for the wind. Yeah, yeah, but we needed some help with some you
know, a lot of trees died during the the big the big
Snowmageddon? The Snowmageddon? Yeah, yeah. So again, we had
last year.
So I would say it's been it's been great. We Yeah, no, I'm no
problem with starting over. I like it. Actually.
I was looking for this clip. I was gonna record it. I couldn't
find it before the show is of Jordan Peterson. And it was
about the phrase never again, and this kind of ties into
friends and who you're talking to? And how do you know detox
people have different different thoughts or different political
ideas or different vaccination status? And it was a very short
clip as one piece I couldn't find it. He said, What is the
takeaway from never again, which of course refers to the Jews and
the Holocaust. And you've heard this Never again, never again,
never get. And he says the only takeaway, any intellectual
person with any thinking capability is we were the Nazis.
We the People were the Nazis. And that's the thing that we
have to look out for. Because good people don't understand
what they're doing by shunning people this way, and that's the
never again part that would that we're missing. It's his look at
least five psychological experiments. You've seen them.
Well, you have to shock this person. And then you've got to
up the voltage. You've seen that the black and white test people
We'll do that. That's the lesson. And that's the thing.
It's not everybody, and a lot has changed since World War Two.
But we still have to be really cognizant that we the people,
we're the ones to screw each other over.
Well, I, I'm proud to say that I, I am accepting of anybody, I
am
I am, I completely
respect their choices, because you have to choose for your own
life, what what works for you, you have to stand in your own
truth. And unfortunately, if if those friends don't feel the
same way with me and choose not to be a part of my life, and
that just gives me insight into really what the relationship is
about. And I do believe that people come into our lives for a
reason. And sometimes they stay for long time. And sometimes
they exit and there's a reason why they were brought there, and
just just rejoice in that and just let it go. So yeah, I
agree. It's, it's in our own attitude. If you're thinking
this guy's a fucking Nazi, but I approach the person with love.
Sometimes it's better, better that way.
Yeah. I mean, I certainly have lines that are drawn, like, you
know, abuse and stuff like that. But for the most part, I think
that I think that I know, I know that I'm very, very open. And
I'm open to learning for sure. Yeah. Open to constantly
learning. So.
So that I guess, to wrap that up the polarization that a lot of
people are feeling it also lives within them. You let it polarize
you you don't let them become the enemy. Don't let your
neighbors become the enemy. You approach them with whatever
Yeah, and life is too short man. I lost a sister already he write
down I wrote that down as a show no as show prep. Here it is.
It's just too short mortality. Life. How do you feel we're now
moving up towards 60? likes some some of us are closer to it than
other I'm significantly Young. What
ends dude. He's not significantly under
Hey, do you want 24 months? Just go fuck around and do nothing.
That's all the extra I have. Good wine.
But no life is too short to be focused on bullshit. Like, do
you problems?
I think often. What is another 25 years?
He needs more wine? Why do one second bite? What's another 25
years? I've had these thoughts very hope I don't develop a
hump.
Some things have no comeback for. Because I'm the one that
will develop the heart. If anybody's gonna get home. It's
gonna Amy. Thank you. Um, I have these thoughts. I really I know
you have them too. What are the thoughts? What thoughts are? Um,
57 to 57 year old 20 years. I'll be 77 You know, by then,
and you'll probably still have your hair.
The hair God bless this man. I love my follicles. By the way,
your hair. Thank you hair. I love you hair. Thank you. I
really do. Okay, it was so weird, though. Because I
remember what my life has been. They've been so many different
milestones. And because I've had multiple careers and just all
these great things have happened to me and I that's what happened
when I was 15. I was 19. I was 24. And in that, and I was a
millionaire before I was 30. And then I was broke. Thanks, Adam.
sold those Bitcoins. That was the second time I went broke.
What I saw when I gave away when I sold the inheritance,
but you loved every minute of it.
Yes. And then I'm excited about every minute, but I'm actually
like, holy shit. The runway I can see it's not that crazy far
out anymore. Do you ever
look at it that way? You mean like there's not a lot of runway
left? Yeah. Oh,
yeah. 2530 years of them. I want to be 98 I think that's a good,
good age. For me. A lot of men and my family have lived to be
old. My dad abused himself like crazy and lived to be 82 My
grandfather 98 You know, we're, we make it. Yeah, we live long
and I'm excited about that. But also, like, come on, it's gonna
suck what's, you know,
I guess I don't look at the runway. But I look at I've just
tried to try to stay as present as possible. And I think about I
know, I think about when we met. It's like, life just changed and
it just became more much more colorful. It just became much
more colorful. And so I'm just kind of living in that colorful
world right now.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I want it to last a lot longer. Yeah, than
what I see it Do I look back said 20 years ago, that's
nothing that was 2000.
Now I know 20 years now you'd be 77 Yeah, as long as we keep
walking the dog and we stay in shape and eat good well,
I I've calculated that I walk the dog quite a bit because of a
home more than you are. But I've calculated I do close to a 4k
every day walking, walking, but it's close to 4k. Yeah, yeah.
That's not bad. Yeah. What do you think?
Appreciate it? Yeah, and you're really good at picking up the
poop too. So I
am the poop scoop Meister I have the the reverse hgB bag trick
down to the size. Tina has to shine the flashlight.
We all use evaluate like, Oh, it's a five dropper?
Yes, it's a five droppers. What's the I'm very big. I'm
looking at the poop for consistency. Dog looks healthy.
Sometimes, like, cool little.
We need to I mean, you want to know,
the whole back on the teriyaki snack? Holy crap dog. What's
going on inside you?
All right, let me ask me.
Last Last question.
How has your life been enriched by the no agenda community since
I know they're from all walks of life, Christian atheists wealthy
now wealthy, urban rural? I would have to say this
is this is a question for you this Yeah. Because you came in
six and a half years ago completely virgin to the no
agenda community, and to get my nation. And yes,
I would have to say that they are hands down. Amazing. And I
know Adam doesn't, or you don't like the word awesome, but
amazing. It's very comforting to know that they're out in the
corners of the world that if anything should ever happen to
our daughters or us that they would be there in a second tip
to lend a hand if if needed. I think what they've done just to,
for the no agenda community has been amazing. And it's just been
so interesting to meet people from different walks of life
that are just eager to learn and to share and to break bread with
and to drink wine with and I just think I feel very, very
grateful and blessed for everybody that contributes to
that amazing community.
And for a long time, I thought it was a very unique American
quality to be able to Americans grab a couple of red solo cups
and you know, a couple of couple of middle lights and and some
chips and we got a party, right? That's That's how we're known
all over the world. So it's easy for Americans to get together
and say, Hey, we're hanging out, we have a party. But for this to
be working around the world is phenomenal. And it's the same
thing is it's the age spectrum, the race, religion, gender,
sexuality doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And to me, it's
like, I know what humanity is. And it's GMO nation. It is true.
Humanity in its purest form, because not only do we feel
comfortable knowing that we've got a network all around the
world, when we had the Snowmageddon, we had Baron
Scott, you know, mobilizing all kinds of shit to get people who
were stuck or whatever. And it was happening everywhere.
Australia, their their meetup communities helping each other
all the time.
Well, when my daughter moved to New York, people reached out to
me and said, Look, if she needs anything, let me know when my
daughter moved to Maine, the same thing. It was just, it was
just so comforting. And when we were on our honeymoon, when we
were in Portugal, every night, every night, there was a knock
at the door and some amazing treat with some libation arrived
at our door. And it was from a no agenda listener who knew
somebody at the hotel that we were saying, and to me that was
just unbelievably kind and thoughtful. And we were so
great. I'm, I'm so grateful for the community. And I actually
have people who emailed me and that I correspond with directly
on Instagram. And I just so I enjoy it. I'm
talking to you talk about your producers in New York.
Yeah, mix, mix, right mix and I we chat all the time, we're
going back and forth. He posts things that I laugh and he's
just so kind and wonderful. When we get to New York. We can't be
we got to
go to we just we just can't sleep or eat anywhere.
Because he's such an amazing, amazing person. So yeah,
hopefully anyway, so yes. answers her question.
Well, to add to that, it's like because the people who are in
GMO nation in general are the people who make the world run.
Their people have jobs that are important. Little bit micro kind
of audience often. Yeah, we have a good comparison. Yeah, I guess
we have the dudes and dudettes named Ben who are running
servers and everything in the world. But we also have park
rangers sanitation workers, lots of nurses, doctors, police,
military, the people who make the world the country in the
world run. And so when when there's something that needs to
be fixed or someone needs to be helped out, it's cool because
not coming from someone with money and power is coming from
someone within the system who can't who knows that there's sub
networks that we actually can make the system work for us.
It's very encouraging. To me, it's, it's like perpetual
resistance that no one really knows is even there, but it's
there. It's there. I love that
well, and we go to meetups too. It's so It's so heartwarming to
meet all these people. And for me, it's just an it's it's an
odd thing. I mean, I'm just a Midwestern woman that happened
to meet Mary Adam curry. And when people are like, Oh my god,
the keeper. It's just so hard for me to reconcile that because
I'm like, I'm just me, but they're so kind and generous and
just wonderful, wonderful people. So the last email I
wonder read was from this and I can't How do you say her name
Adam, because it's a Dutch name. Can you see
on the meek holder anime colder and
so she sent an email for feedback and she said Dear at
Adam and Tina. A quick note from Florida as I truly enjoyed the
first episode of Korean the keeper, as a loyal listener of
no agenda show and sharing the Dutch connection with Adam. I
figured it was time to check out the new podcast. Tina, you have
a natural beautiful voice. Thank you so much at Sweet that is so
easy to listen to on the podcast and it was a joy to listen to
the two of you interact. Your conversations are very organic
and authentic, something special between the two of you. That was
clearly noticeable on air. I loved hearing the stories, the
current events and laughter and love looking forward to many
more episodes with my own glass of wine. She said my husband
Chris is from Chicago. We met 30 years ago at Indiana University
with a Dutch exchange student. I grew up with Adam on air
listening to curry and venting. Every Friday night is a teenager
in Holland and now is a Dutch American raising our family in
Florida. It's been a pleasure to reconnect, listen and navigate
the world with everything that's going on. So what a connection
because I lived in Chicago, you're she's from Holland,
that's cool. I mean, isn't
that very cool? That
was very kind thank you so much for sending that that was cool.
So um, value for value, which means we'd like to at least
cover the cost of the wine. But moving forward, if you find
this, this podcast of any value, then we asked you simply to try
a new podcast app, you can get one at new podcast apps calm. My
favorite is pod friend, Tina prefers prod pod friend has a
lot of good ones. And you want to look for one at that new
podcast apps comm that does value for value streaming
payments. And this is what I clearly believe is the future of
media. And it's like when you're listening, you're actually made
a made an exact analogy today, which worked pretty well.
Imagine your favorite podcast app, and you have Venmo and we
just stuck the Venmo onto your podcast app. And whenever you
hit play you predetermine. Yeah, I want to send this podcast $1
an hour. So every minute 1/16 of $1 is transferred from your
Venmo to the podcast has been mo that's what's happening, except
it's with Bitcoin. Because Venmo can't actually do that it's
impossible because of the fees, etc.
But Bitcoin you're you're transferring SATs
Satoshis which is 100,000,000th of a Bitcoin.
So how many Satoshis is equivalent to $1?
Right now is about 2100 Satoshis. Okay, yeah, so we're
at 48 375 right now. So safety is kind of roughly, you know,
100 100,000 Satoshis will be $50. So let's look at what
people sent us in value.
And I just have to say if you need to learn about Bitcoin,
there's a great website called Learn me a bit learn me a
Bitcoin. Is that what it's called? Oh, I don't know. I, I
went on it was put in the show me a bit. Learn me a
bitcoin.com. Learn me a bitcoin.com. Yes, it's a learn
theory. It's a very remedial it. Well, it talks about it from the
beginner's perspective. So it's very interesting. And it makes
it easy
to learn, did you? What did you learn?
Okay, you're putting me on the spot. So I mean,
just tell me what your takeaway was. I mean, what you learned is
unimportant. what's your takeaway?
Well, how it's a it's a network that everybody is connected to.
And so when a transaction is made, everybody knows about the
transaction. So
that's what I learned. That's that's the that is actually the
problem that was so
decentralized to theirs Yeah, well middleman. In fact that
laptop right over there is a part of the Bitcoin network. Oh,
all right. It's verifying transactions. It's doing all
that. Yeah, we are a node on the Bitcoin network.
Okay? It's the future. Yeah. Anyway, so go back to the
Bousso. When you get a new podcast app, you can, if you're
listening, and you're sending your, whatever your Satoshis per
minute, you can also if you'd like something a lot, you can
send a boost. And there's a button, they all have it, and
you can determine how many Satoshis you're going to send.
And you can even do a boost to gram which is adding a note.
Yeah, so I have and this is from our first show, which is
unbelievable to have any kind of feedback at all, to see these
booster grams coming in real time was incredibly exciting to
me personally,
every time a booster gram comes through the Adams phone goes pew
pew.
It's actually Dave Jones develop this, develop this software. And
we wanted it to be just like that movie, where the porn guys
who set up the the credit card trick is called the middlemen.
And they set up this company
even watching a porn movie called the middleman. No.
If I'm watching a porn movie, I'll call you over and say, Look
at this shit, baby. I don't watch porn, I always see where
exactly, no, it's the story of it's a true story about these
two guys who started a credit card processing company called
American entertainment, I think. And the reason why is because
people wanted to watch porn, you know, pay for it, but they
didn't want you know, Pornhub on their credit card. So these guys
would be in the middle. And these were like
to look at a credit card statement. But anyway, go ahead.
These were
two degenerate guys, and strung out on coke and alcohol, and
then they build this thing. And then all of a sudden, then they
have a buzzer hooked up, or a bell hooked up to it. So if
someone does a transaction through them, they get 995. So
they're like that they have no more money built this thing.
This is in the I think 90s And then the they're in this drug
stupid all of a sudden you hear and that's all the transactions
coming through right? Now. So we had a version of that, which is
more like that's the sound that it makes it does. It does that
pew sound and so here's some of the booster grams with the
amounts and when I have it the the people who sent it.
Actually, I'll go in reverse order since this was the first
show. I didn't know the title of the show was I like your shoes.
The first boost was from me because I had to test it. And
then the second was the
message did you send a message first boost, of course. So
then we got 1500 SATs from majors. We said enjoy the show.
Enjoy to see where y'all take it. Cheers. Then came Brian of
London with 533 sets. He says he said first question mark. Of
course that's you know that this thing? So no, you weren't but
you were close. Then we had mere mortals that's Kyron and from
Australia who I did the interview with recently. He says
Welcome to the world of podcasting. Tina, judging from
this first episode, you're a natural go podcasting. And I
might go with my go podcasting thing. Here we go. Now, Chad
Farrow, Chad Farrow, he's a huge promoter of podcasting. 2.0 He
sent a whole bunch of different boosts a lot of 330 threes. And
he's just supporting us he even a 3333 So he's been sending
multiple dollars to us and we appreciate it. Then we have
Steven B. Now he makes curio caster. Oh, yeah. And he lives
in San Antonio.
Let's have lunch, Steven.
He's in hospital right now. Oh, you want to hit this is a shitty
story literally. He had a colonoscopy done. And somehow is
like something fused with something else and now like PSP
in the hospital he he's like his colon fused something else where
they were doing it and so they they have to his colon was
twisted and he could become septic. It's like a horrible
ordeal. I don't want to I don't want to hit him. But he knows
you already have but he's basically in the hospital
coding. He's like I'm so bored here but he has to be there
because they can't operate on him so that he has to go through
some process and he went
in for a ruling room. Routine colonoscopy.
I'm not sure I believe so. Yeah, yeah, shit. You can't say words
like shit when it's about colonoscopy is just too too
polarizing. I didn't realize you live in Fredericksburg. He says
My wife has an uncle's a doctor up there. dad owns 33 acres in
comfort. Just south of you. You've made the right choice
moving further to the west of Austin if you haven't checked
out the LBJ homestead and Wildseed farms off to 90 which
we have not done yet. I recommend them both my wife and
I enjoy these two places when we did our anniversary in
Fredericksburg. We're gonna have to have them yeah over for sure
when he's out he's going to be okay. We know he's going to be
okay. And he actually sent us two booster grams each with 200
and a 2222 sets oh two two which is known as a row of ducks. Oh,

all so very much for for supporting the show. We'd love
to see some more. We'd love to have some other value return
like maybe a website we'd love a website yeah website we
need a graphic for the show. That's what we need. Yeah, you
just did. Yeah, I'm not a graphic bad though. I couldn't
find but I like it but if somebody could perfect it a
little bit.
So the total for our first episode was $17 Nice. Yes. So
almost almost got the wine No,
it didn't even pay for the WHY 23 Better,
we'll do better we'll do better. But we're growing with
podcasting. 2.0 It will take a little while
and we encourage you to have your glass of wine or whatever
libation or coffee or water whatever it is that
you're doing we also got an an audio from one of our producers
hear me say he did a little song for us. I think he did a little
he sends me a lot of audio. He says Richard
Levin jack in love story. Ball he likes of five
do this on his home studio. Right
we need a bit of recording.
I was gonna say it's going it's going yeah.
Yeah, I immediately tried it was I guess I didn't know it was off
balance. That kind of loses a lot that way. Sorry about that.
We'll just cut that out of the show. Okay. No one will ever
hear that. No over here happened. It didn't happen
people. Okay, what else? Oh, I did want to mention just because
it's our forever charity. Ronald McDonald House charities of
central Texas for anyone listening in Central Texas about
their capital campaign.
Yes, yeah. They are near and dear to our heart, because and
I'd have to admit, when I first applied for the job there, oh my
gosh, eight, nine years ago, I had no idea what they did. But
what they do, if you are not familiar is they take care of
families whose children are in the hospital. So a lot of times
families have to travel distances in order to get the
care, medical care for the children that they need. And
they don't have a place to stay. And because of the generosity of
donors where we were able to open our home to them and they
were able to stay so they were very close to their children.
Austin is growing exponentially. And, and the children's hospital
there, delta delta Children's Hospital, has brought on some
specialized caregivers like cardiologist and neurosurgeon,
yeah, pediatric. And so what has happened is people are flocking
to Austin now for pediatric care. And they need a place to
stay. And so the Ronald McDonald House has been so busy and they
have turned away how many people six out of 10, six out of 10
families are turned away because the house is full. And so
they've embarked on this capital camp capital campaign to add 57
rooms. I believe it's a 30 room house now they need to raise $30
million. Yes. And they've only raised 5 million. And it's the
unfortunate thing is a lot of people don't know about Ronald
McDonald House Charities are exactly
what they are. Yeah, exactly. You need it. So just just
understand when your kid is sick in the hospital, and you live 25
miles away. 25 miles by itself is devastating to a family for
work, you know, because someone has to be with the child going
back and forth. It's it ruins everything. And then how many
parents we know slept in their cars, right?
Well think about it. I mean, you don't want to be 25 miles away
from your child who's in the hospital?
No cost of Ramadan? No, it's all
it's everything is free. So they get three meals a day, they get
a place to stay, they get internet access, they have
laundry facilities, they have everything. And that's because
of the generosity of the donors. So when you think about Ronald
McDonald House Charities, I mean, think about how they're
supporting families and we're we're definitely trying to help
them raise the is it 30 million.
I'm really devastated because the people just aren't thinking
about this. You're right. And they will they will and I'm
looking at you Elon Musk. When you bring 5000 people to Austin.
You know, they a lot of these young people that we're gonna
have. We're gonna have a lot of kids. Yeah, and this is such an
important I've been a support rod mcdonald house 1520 years
before I even knew you really. In Holland. Oh, yeah. I want to
make a wish I did. That's when I had the helicopter did make a
wish but Ramadan house. I want bought like a 50,000. Euro
tulip. Yeah, I could name it. Yeah. Donna Summer was there
before she passed. But always supported ROM. I'd love the
idea. That's how we met by the way. We are talking about this
because of that. And it's very, and these charities, they're all
separate, right? They don't get money from or they get some but
they don't get real money from McDonald's. like McDonald's is
paying for it.
Right? No, oh, no, they get the well, McDonald's provides them a
portion of the Happy Meal sales. And they also do the round up
for rmhc. So they go to McDonald's. And you purchase
something and you want to round up your
or they don't ask for that except during the show. Yeah,
you people in das worth
equated to in every random mcdonald house has a geographic
location. So an arson Austin expanded several counties. And
so any McDonald's that was in that county, filtered into the
Ronald McDonald House charities in Central Texas. And with the
roundup for rmhc. It was about $100,000 Oh, really? The coins?
Yeah, it was a lot of money.
And all these McDonald's who participate? They're independent
operator owners. Yeah, I love those because it was my favorite
was her name.
I Becky Russell. Russell. Thank you, Roger. This is McDonald's.
I do I do. Um, so I had a thought about this. You are
talking about starting a foundation. You know, we could
easily put rmhc in the value blog and give them like 10% of
whatever we get from grams for sure. Can we talk to Sarah make
sure that they go straight to them and that she can manage
that? We'll figure it out. I'd love to do that.
We'll figure it out. But yeah, the Ronald McDonald House
Charities is near and dear to our heart because that's how we
met and you know That's how Adam seized upon the opportunity to
get to know me.
Oh, please. Okay, before we leave that let me just the one
part that was left out of all stories is that Tina was waiting
for me like you know try waiting to trap me as I was leaving the
dog fit Phoebe. She had an empty box She was pretending to look
at it with her.
wacko look this back up a minute. Oh, hi, Adam. Oh, um, so
we were just looking at this empty box jack up
a minute. So when Adam when Adam started talking to me, and
Christina approved me. Yes, she asked me out to dinner and he
said we'll go out to dinner after the bandanna ball. Yes. So
we're texting.
I didn't want to mix personal with with Ryan fashion. So but
it
was a month after ambient bandana ball and he still didn't
ask me out for dinner. And so I had to take matters into my own
hands. Occupied? Busy. Oh, in air quotes. Yes. Yeah. Watching
C span so anyway, to take matters into my own hands. And
so I knew he was at a meeting at Ronald McDonald House. And I I
just positioned myself strategically so that he was and
finally he made it happen. It took a while. Took a while. But
aren't you glad it did?
Oh my god, I'm the luckiest man in the world. What do you say?
Should we make some dinner? Yeah, what do you have?
Oh, we're doing salmon and roasted vegetables.
meats. I'm doing the salmon. You're doing the roast.
