How long did it take you to figure out how to change the cameras, Hattie? Not very long at all. Really? Pretty easy, huh? What about, oh yeah, what about when I'm talking? What about when I'm talking? Can you see me right now? What about when both?

Hey, his face got burned on fire

Haley's face got burned on fire. Yep. How? Yeah, tell us more. Well, I'm pretty sure what happened was Hailey, it was when Hailey was little, so Miss Alyssa was teaching her older brothers and her older sister. And I'm not really sure, but I think she was looking at a candle or something. Okay. And then her face got on fire. What?

And so Miss Alyssa went and rinsed it off. Wow, okay. Oh, quick rinse. Just a rinse off, you'll rinse off fire. No, more thaned it off. Wow, okay. Oh, quick rinse. Just to rinse off, you'll rinse off fire. No, more than a rinse off. Out of all of our, out of all the kids in our family, who do you think is the most likely to get their face on fire?

Rosie. Absolutely Rosie. Why Rosie? I already thought Beau. Cause she's the wildest. She's wild, isn't she? Yes. All right. We usually start the theme song after a funny last line. So can you give us a last line?

Special guest Jake Shredded Triplet in the house. Thank you. What the heck do you want to talk about? Well, I asked Hattie what's on her mind. And what was it you wanted to talk about? Something happened to your ball? Was that today or is that an old story? It was kind of recently, but it wasn't today.

Okay, what happened to it? The ball went down the sewer because Bo was playing catch with mom and me we were playing three quarter catch and then Bo threw the ball to, and it went into the street, and rolled down your street. My street? And went into the sewer.

Bo's got a cannon on him. He can throw it hard and far, can't he? Yep, he certainly can. Yeah. Hattie, you're pretty good with the camera switching. I'm impressed very good job Thank you Okay, so you lost the ball it's making a ball you you watch space jam recently what you think of that movie I

Liked it a lot. It was very funny Yeah, did you have a favorite monster, favorite character? Michael Jordan. Yeah, he's the man. He's awesome. Yeah, you thought it was a pretty ridiculous, like funny movie. Yeah, because the cartoons were so funny,

the cartoon people. Yeah, did you know very, like, we haven't watched very many Looney Tunes. Did you know Bugs Bunny or Tweety? I knew Bugs Bunny and Tweety. Yeah, I was like- From books or something. I was having to like kind of explain to them like, I don't, we haven't watched very many Looney Tunes. Did you know Bugs Bunny or Tweety? I knew Bugs Bunny and Tweety. Yeah, I was like- From books or something. I was having to like kind of explain to them like, okay, so he's the Tasmanian devil.

Yeah. Okay, so that's, you know, the road runner, like all these different things. There wasn't a road runner on there. I think there was. Wasn't there? Nope. She's the memory master, I mean. Hattie sometimes, Hattie was getting a little sassy with me on the way home from church last night and I proved her wrong.

Remember that? You were like, you parked in the same spot and I was like, I didn't, I don't know what to tell you. And then she realized she was wrong. Okay. Yeah. I got that. Okay.

Roadrunner is definitely on space jam. He helps clean the gym. Oh, when like all the characters run at the same time. Yeah. Okay, Roadrunner is definitely on Space Jam. He helps clean the gym. Oh, when like all the characters run at the same time. Yeah, yeah. Maybe he did, but I don't remember him. Okay, well. He didn't have enough speaking parts to be memorable. What was, you remember Bo's favorite line?

In the movie? Oh yeah, you heard of the dream team or the mean team. Yeah, Bo liked that one. And then the one where Bugs Bunny is talking to Michael Jordan. He's like, basically, what I'm trying to say is, we need your help. That's a great line. Yeah. That's a great line. I thought it was fun to watch with you guys. I think you guys really liked it. And of course, since then, we've listened to the music a bunch. We had pancakes the next day.

We were rocking out to some space jam in the kitchen, which is always fun. So, yeah, the big thing in Hattie's life right now is memory master. So the way it works, she's trying to memorize every single thing she's learned this year. Yep. So what are the different subjects you have to memorize? Um, there's history, timeline, Latin, English, science, math, and what's the other one? Geography.

Geography. Man, Latin sounds intimidating. Okay, the Latin one is honestly the funniest one in my opinion. OCEOMO! OCEOMO! OCEOMO! What does that do? Yeah, what are those? Are those... Sink! Wait, yeah, which one is that?

They're these declensions, which I don't even know what that means. Oh yeah. See our second declension. Army says easy. Army says easy. No, that's not right. Oh man. Oh, now you're getting, now you're getting flustered because you're trying to be too

goofy about it. Oh man. I was only trying to say it fast. That's good. Yeah. But like when she does her Latin, it's like the it's like noun endings. Yeah. Nominative subject, genitive possessive, dative indirect object, accusative direct object, obstructive object to the preposition. And then I know first through 50 clenchons. First through 50 clenchons. Wow. That's not bad. You got that? Yeah. Yeah.

When you do the next 50 clenchens. I don't know. Worry about those later. Yeah. So do you know full words in Latin? Are they teaching you like? I do not know full words because they are teaching me the noun endings and first, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth declension noun endings.

Yeah. Just kind of the basics. Yeah. Like it's all going to come together, Vinge though. The ums and the like that's, yeah. Like all the, like she just sounds like she's and you know, and then now, you know, they listen to these songs. That's how she memorized all this stuff. So now you got, excuse me, I'm trying to say something. So now you got Rosie just running around the house, just going ah, ace, ibis, ace, ibis, you know, Rosie's saying all that.

That is not the one that she does. What does she do? We've heard that, I think it's a first. Ah, I, I am ah. That's what she does. So yeah, I don't know anything about Latin, but do you ever sing those songs yourself? Like you're laying in your bed and you like sing them to Rosie? Nope. Good question.

Nope. But it does help me a lot with memory master because I can get two in my head. Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Is there anything you could quiz us both on that I have a chance of getting? I have a chance of competing with Hattie on. Sure. No, he's asking me.

Okay. Let's, what about this Hattie? What if you start saying a sentence and see if like, have Jake fill in the blank for it. So let's say, tell me about... Santorini? Yeah, tell me about the Greeks. Santorini, is that what you said?

Tell me about the Greeks. Homer, a famous blank. What's Homer? Homer's a famous... A famous author. No! Writer. Not quite. Close.

Poet. Yep. Yep. Pythagoras, a famous. Mathematician. Good. I wish the camera was on her though. Good. All right, keep going, this is a good quiz.

Homer, a famous poet, Pythagoras, a famous mathematician. Socrates, a famous blank. Philosopher. Archimedes, a famous blank. Astronomer. No. Not really. Not really, what was Archimedes?

A famous inventor. Oh, what was Archimedes? A famous inventor. Oh. What did he invent? Quiz for anyone in the room? I don't know. Let's see. Alright, sorry, keep going. Okay. Let's see, what's another one?

What's a geography song you know? That might be my best shot. How about this? How about- Geography, it's like a song to do that says like what geography we're learning. What about like, do you know, let's say, do you know a couple rivers in Africa?

Can you think of a river or two in Africa? I can think of one. Yeah, there's a big one. Nile, Danube, is that a river in Africa. Can you think of a river or two in Africa? I could think of one. Yeah, there's a big one. Nile, Danube. Is that a river in Africa? I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly. The Danube, I think. Danube. That's in Europe.

Yeah. OK. All right. So I guess I just know the one. What are rivers in Africa? Um, I'll just tell you African waters in general. That's great. Great. Lake Victoria, Congo River, San Bece River, Orange River. Plus there's the Nile. Those are all the rivers in Africa.

Oh yeah, and the Niger River and Congo River. Wow, no song. Are the tigers in Euphrates? Yeah, but that's not in actual Africa. It's just right above Africa. Wow. No song. Are the tigers in Euphrates? Yeah, but that's not in actual Africa. It's just right above Africa. Okay. Yeah, I think it might be Middle East. Yeah. Middle East, Israel, Sinai Peninsula, Suez Canal, um. Persia. No. Dang it. Suez Canal, Something's not in the script. Oh man, you would do like, you know, she's got this 14 minute timeline song that she sings and like, there's so many times where we'll listen to it in the car or something

that I just want to mess with. And Kath is like, you got to stop that. You're messing with the song. Cause there's a part in there, Patriarchs of Israel. Patriarchs of Israel Yes, thank you and I'll just throw in patriarchs of Israel every like five, you know five or six things She's like, yeah stop that But what else do we math? Yeah, can you let's see can you do cubes? one through three

Can you do cubes? One through three. One, eight, 20 cents. No, no, no, no. See if he can do it. See if he can do it. Jake's really good at math. All right, one, eight, 27. Four would be 64, 125.

And then I'm out. Six times 36 would be 180. 216. Seven would be seven times 49. That'd be 450 minus seven, maybe. Is that right? What's the next one? 216, 343.

343, so next is eight. Eight times eight times eight, eight times 64. 288, no, we already went into 300s. Gosh, I don't know, keep going. 125, 216 343 500 off 729 1000 1331 1728 2,197, 2,744, 3,375. The end. Isn't that amazing?

Yeah, I got three and a half. I mean, and normally she does it without even singing it to me. And it's like- What about the identity law? I know that one. Ooh, Jake knows some laws. What is it, identity laws? Yes like the

All right quiz me Say the first part and see if you can get the equals part identity law for audition states a plus zero equals a oh Wow, you said the whole thing so well either way Ace to pause here a plus zero equals on't see what he would say or something like that the identity law for multiplication states a Times one equals a Once again, you could have paused You can't pause the song I see these skipping. Yeah, so you all that you are for addition subtraction

subtraction, subtraction, multiplication, division. No division. Just times and addition. But I do know different laws. Like the community law. The community law for addition. A plus B equals B plus A. Community law for multiplication. That's A times B equals B plus A. Communitive law for multiplication takes A times B equals B times A. There you go. I like the melody of that one. Yeah, what else would Mr. Jake maybe know? The distributive law?

No, he doesn't know. Teaspoons and tablespoons? Teeth moves in tablespoons? Yeah. Yeah, do you know the measurements? How many teaspoons equal? I thought it was teeth moves in tablespoons? Yeah. Yeah, do you know the measurements? How many teaspoons equal? Oh, I thought it was teeth moves in tablespoons. It was like a parable.

No! How many teaspoons equal one tablespoon? Well, I bake now. I mill my own flour. I'm trying to imagine. Teaspoon, 2.2. That's, I don't exactly know it that way. How many full teaspoons equal a tablespoon? For instance, another one of my measurements like that is eight fluid ounces equals one cup.

Okay, so you're saying Mr. Jake is wrong. Two and a half teaspoons equals one tablespoon. Wrong. What is wrong. Two and a half teaspoons equals one tablespoon. Wrong. What is it? Two teaspoons equal one tablespoon. OK, I should try to get cute. How much tablespoons equal a fluid ounce? Mr. Jake. Good question, Miss Hatting. Tablespoon fluid ounce. Two tablespoons equal one fluid ounce.

No, not quite. Okay, how many? Three? Right. It was between two and three. How about... I already told you eight fluid ounces equals one cup How about how many cups equal one pint? Oh, I should know this cup to pint actually no I shouldn't Everyone knows everyone knows five cups and a pint Nope The two

Yes, but you already know the answer cuz I've repeated this memory work man everything's twos and threes I don't know the answer saw these even though I've listened to you repeat them a few times. Okay? Okay one more Eight fluid ounces equals one cup two cups equal one pint two pints equal one quart four quarts equal one gallon Or in the kingdom of gallon there lived four quart queens each court queen had two pint-sized princesses and each pint-sized princess had two cup sized kittens and each cup sized kitten ate drink eight fluid ounces of milk Eight fluid ounces of milk equals one table's 17 tables equals

Ounces of milk equals one cup of milk It ends there with the kittens milk. I don't have any more songs. I like that way memorizing. That's fun So anyway, we are we have to we made it up Well, so what I'm talking I would appreciate if you don't talk. Okay, okay Just teasing So she has to get like Parent review like she has to go over with her parents and get like passing and then she has to do with somebody else Yeah, it's called proofs.

Proofs. Yeah. Uh, just a, uh, non-biased third party. And then she's finished this. Excuse me. I said, can I finish this? Yeah, sure. Okay. And then you do it with your tutor slash teacher. That's what you call your teacher, tutor. And then some people from CC do it with you. Like some, yeah, not the tutors,

but some people from CC do it with you. And then the director, Miss Alyssa, does it with me. Or she does just part of it. You do it four times? I thought you only had to do it three times. Well, really I have to do it basically three times. No, four times and one eighth. I see, just like one extra little test with Miss Lily.

Yeah. What's been the hardest thing to memorize of everything in Memory Masters? There's some math that I'm not very good at, in particular. I'm the best at science, I mean not science, history. Second best at science and science and timeline are tied. I'm starting to not really like timeline.

It gets boring when you're saying it. It doesn't get boring when you're singing it, especially singing it with emotions. Ooh What's your favorite like motion to do in the timeline song? I don't know. I made the motions up myself. Oh really? All right, was it one of the motions for the Roman Empire? Let's see those I'm not sure there is a Roman Empire in the timeline. Yeah.

There's gotta be. Caesar? Caesar. C. A C for Caesar. Yeah. What else would be in the timeline? Roman dictator, Julius Caesar.

Then what? Caesar? Caesar, Augustus, and the pox ramon. I don't have emotion for every, of them because they're like 160 maybe. And so I don't have one for that. But this is age of exploration. Does it go up to now? Is it like current?

Yeah. Yeah. The last one is rising tide of freedom. Rising tide of Freedom. Rising Tide of Freedom. And the second to last one is September 11th, 2001. So it goes from creation to September 11th, 2001. All the way. Pretty cool. She have a motion for 2001?

September 11th, 2001. Dad, that is not what I do. No? September 11th, 2001. That's what I do. Okay, okay, fair enough. Oh, Hattie.

All right, I have a question for. I can tell. I have a question for Mr. Jake and you can also weigh in here, Hattie, if you'd like. You know, I've been doing a little more cooking around the house when Hattie's urban, when Catherine's been sick recently. Catherine's a big fan of glassware.

Oh yeah. Yeah, Rachel too? Yep. I don't know where any of it goes. And I do not like it. Well, that's not true. I know it kind of goes in this one area of our kitchen, but the shelves for it are really inconvenient to get out.

And then you have to like pick up all the glassware to fit it in. Judge me if you want, relatable or not, not whatever the word is justified, Valor get off my horse, whatever, all these different things. Sometimes or Catherine will put like, she'll like wash out blueberries or something and put them in the glassware with a paper towel on the bottom of them. We're done with the blueberries. The paper towel is out of there. It's pretty clean.

Last night we had spaghetti and meatballs. I put it in the same glassware. Because terrible or not? I know where the glassware lives. Thank you. I think even if some blueberry juice gets on the spaghetti, it's not gonna make it taste kind of fun. It's kind of fun.

Yeah. I wouldn't want spaghetti sauce getting on my blueberries though. Fair. Doesn't go both ways. Yes. Oh yeah, yeah, exactly. Like it has to be the right kind of thing for you to get it out of there. Like, I don't know, like sometimes, yeah, you have bell peppers and then bell peppers are gone and I might do a quick rinse out

and throw something else in there. I don't feel like you have to wash them out every time or like put them through the dishwasher. That's a good point. I'll bring that up to the Mrs. Yeah. We're rinsing a lot of glassware. A lot of glassware.

I'll bring that up to the Mrs. too. Okay. Actually, I'm trying out some new material tonight because I signed the contract with them and then once I signed it, he's like, hey, do you want to do like 15 more minutes? I was like, sure. Yeah.

No, it's a good excuse to write some more stuff and get. So how long are you doing? 45. Long time for a private gig. You ever done a 45 minute? I have before. I did at CFO. And I think I did at Dike New Hartford.

But OK. Nice. Anyway, but one of the things I'm going to talk about is when I first moved in with Rachel, I couldn't believe how often we ran the dishwasher. Oh yeah. Because it's a single guy. Yeah.

I mean, I'm not using any of this. Imagine if I showered every day. It's insane. Yeah. You know, so. Because I feel like, I just brought this up to Tray and Derek a couple weeks ago, but like every time I, not every time,

but a lot of times when I do the dishes and unload them, there's like a bowl in there that I've never seen before. Like a big bowl. Yeah. This won't fit in any of our, where has this been hiding? Where does this go? And I just leave it out on the counter them. There's like a bowl in there that I've never seen before, like a big bowl. Yeah. I just won't fit in any of our where's this been hiding. Where does this go? And I just leave it out on the counter until Rachel gets home.

I've started doing that too. I'm just going to screw it up. I've also started once again, I think wives out there will say, I hate this, but this is what I do. And I think it's a good idea. Like we use a specific pan all the time for our or yeah, pan. I get pots and pans confused specific pan for eggs, for whatever browning meat, all these different things all the time. And so I wash it out at night. Like what, after we've used it for dinner

and then I just put it on the stove for the next day. I'm like, I'm not going to put it away. Is that, is that okay to you? Like a, it helps it dry better. Yeah. You know, I kind of dry it off and then it's like, let it air dry a little bit B it's right there when you need it tomorrow. Yeah. No, I'm good with that. Yeah. That's nice. I'm a big fan of like, and maybe like sometimes I'll do like 96% of the way there for Catherine, as far as dishes go. And I'm like, you can put it away. Like this stuff is dry or pretty dry. I put it on the oven. If you want to put it away, you can.

If not, just leave it there. Yeah. So I'm with you there. Yeah. If you know you're going to use it tomorrow anyway. Yeah. Let it dry. I've also started like when I clean out the empty out the dishwasher. If I don't know where it goes, I just have a little stack on the counter and just she'll figure out. Yeah. Yeah. The wife stack.

That's the wife stack. Yeah. Because I don't want to put in the wrong place. And then she'll never find it Yeah, yeah. The wife stack. That's the wife stack, yeah. Cause I don't want to put it in the wrong place. And then she'll never find it. Yeah, so. Sometimes I do and Rachel's like, it's so funny that you always put the small forks and the big forks that happened like a month or so ago. And I was like, I'm learning for the first time

that we have two different size forks. I had no idea. Yeah, I have been putting the small forks in the big forks. I have opinions on, I'm a fan of the smaller utensils for everything. I don't ever want a big spoon. I don't like big spoons. County always gives me a big spoon. What size spoons do you like honey? Big kids spoons and they also like the spoon that's a little bit thin Part of the handle it makes me feel

It makes me feel dainty. That's a great answer. It makes me feel dainty. Your big kid spoon though is like a small adult spoon, which is the right spoon. I think I love it. Youth large. Yes, exactly. Like the big ones. It's maybe.

It just feels reckless. Yeah. I'm not trying to get that much food in my mouth at once. It's too big of a spoon. I like a small fork too. I'm okay with that. Yeah, I'm not as particular on those, but anyway. Big fork gets heavy after a while, you know.

But you guys put it, you guys separate them out. I just throw, we just throw them all in the same slot. That's what I did for a year. Yeah. Yeah, I guess we do. You fool. Two slots. But yeah, I think the pan on the counter is fine.

As long as you don't have any mice running around, you know, it'll be good. We'll be fine. Do you guys have any mice running around, you know, you're good. We'll be fine. Do you guys have any mice this winter, Hattie? Nope. You did last winter though, didn't you? Maybe not last winter, but I remember one time when we had mice.

Yeah, it wasn't like Bo was not afraid of the mouse, but everyone else was? No, he was not afraid. Bo and Dad were not afraid. I got a little bit teepeded out and mom does not like mice. Yeah, I found a dead one on like the ladder up to the attic six months ago or something. Okay.

And I had contemplated whether or not to tell Catherine. Would you tell her? No, if it was already dead. I told her. I didn't tell her at first. And then she's like, yeah, we haven't had any mice for a while. I was like, yeah, there was one.

And then I found one when I was we haven't had any mice for a while. I was like, yeah, there was one. And then I found one when we were, when I was taking down the ceiling in the basement, found a dead one. Dang. So it was kind of gross, but it's all good. I don't know. Yeah, we, we have some kind of extermination. Oh, it's same people you have. Yeah, we just kind of refer all our people or you, whatever to you. It was funny. The mowers are back, it's mowing season.

And so they'll like park their car at our house and then like one of them will just drive over to your house. They scoot over to here, yeah. It's nice. Yeah, that sod dude looks nice. It looks great. Yeah, it's kind of amazing how much of a difference. I think it looks good too.

It does, it looks good too. It does. It looks very nice. So. Hattie, are you excited that it's getting warmer out and you can play outside more? Yes, but I don't like the bugs. You guys already getting bugs? No.

I see occasional wasps. You do? And bees. Yes, I do. I saw one just today. You don't need to yell. Have you ever been stung by a wasp? No, that's the, no.

No. No, I haven't, but I'm afraid of wasps and bumblebees. Super afraid. You are, and it's kind of, it bothers me sometimes. Yeah, you guys have been playing the front yard a lot lately. Yeah, because we like to play in the bush. Yeah. What do you do?

They like, they like sound like a house. Well, there's a bush in the front and there's part of it that we can climb on. That's Bo's tumble down that I was telling you about. It's like a head first of the slide, but a pokey slide that you land on the grass one day you did that with a frying pan and it was so funny while I was doing memory work with mom. And then pokey slide sounds awesome. There's also a section and there's a branch that we all sometimes sit on and that's our parlor. And then there's the root cellar, which is behind the thing over. The root cellar?

Yes, it's the root cellar and the bedrooms. Okay. There's the bedrooms and then in my area of the bedrooms, there's the root cellar. I walked out to the front yard the other day and there were clothes on the ground and they said, yeah, we changed our clothes. We changed into dress up clothes,

dress up clothes are fine. And I said, where are you changing? And then Bo comes from around like the backyard with his shirt off. Just like, yeah, dad, we're just changing back here. I changed back in the bush and I'm very careful for nobody to see me. I never take my clothes completely off.

And I told Bo, cause I was changing, that it's okay if he's just changing his shirt cause he's a boy. It's true. Seem like good rules. I think so. So, Hi, Caitlin.

Hey. Oh. What is that? Oh yeah. I told Caitlin, she could pop in if she wanted to and she said she has a pill swallowing technique for me. Oh, come on in.

And maybe Hattie too. All right. Yeah, come on in. Yeah. You can come in this way if you want. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Caitlin Triplett, Jake's sister in town. Hi, Hattie too. All right. Yeah, come on in. Yeah, you can come in this way if you want. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Caitlin Triplett, Jake's sister in town. Hi, Hattie.

Hi. You sound so good. Thank you. You're a little spoken. Where am I sitting? You can just sit right here. You have a pill swallowing strategy. Yes, this is not something that I learned.

This is not something I learned in school. This is just, because I also cannot swallow pills. I was gonna say, well, I would assume, you know, it might get passed down. You know, it's a generational thing. We both have the weird stomach thing that only pregnant ladies get. Oh really?

Okay. Reckless dialysis or whatever it's called. Freaks. Yeah. I'll show ya. We'll both do some V-ups. Okay, so, but you can swallow pills now? Yeah. OK.

When did you overcome your fear? Oh, in college. I was probably like 20 years old. OK. So I started with like little tiny ones. We all do. And then I realized, oh, if I just because I tried all the techniques that people would say of

like fill your mouth with water. Some people think it's easier with the straw or certain things. Is it like the straw kind of shoots it back faster? Yeah. But none of those were working. So then I would take it with crackers or literally any food at all. I did go through a stage where I needed some antibiotic or something and they didn't have a liquid form. And oh, it was when I had Mono, there wasn't liquid form. And I had to buy a pill crusher. Oh yeah.

And put it in applesauce. Okay. And it was, it tastes so bad. Really? Obviously pills taste bad if you actually taste them. Yeah. So then I was like, I gotta figure something out. So then I started chewing up bread

and then would basically chew it up until it's literally about to go down. And right as it's all the way chewed up, I shove the pills into the mush. And that's what I do. So we're doing this live on the pod? So this is not what I learned in grad school for speech pathology for swallowing. I thought I would learn more about it, but my swallowing course was during COVID and I didn't learn anything in that class. So I'm creating mine. So this is what you do to this day.

This is how you swallow pills. Yes. Well, if it's like ibuprofen or something, I can take that with water, but like my morning vitamins, those are big. So I'm like, I don't wanna make it a terrible experience. Then I'm not gonna take them in the morning. So I might as well eat a cracker with it.

Okay. Get these from the pantry. Do you need any Tylenol? I actually do. Well, I'll show you, because I actually need Tylenol. And look, this little baggie This is what I travel with yeah, yeah

Canisters take up too much space so here we go I Take one cracker no pressure Mush wait do you use water? if I just Sorry, no water. I guess yeah, I brought it in okay, but not with this method not with the mush method seriously These crackers are little stale Almond flour oh they're pretty dry Some saliva going on

Can you hear me The mush man these are alive ago and this is what people came to see baby he's gonna do it Hattie will she be able to do it? I don't know. All right. Good answer. All right. I put it back on Caitlin. You wanna see the mush or no? I don't wanna see the mush. I think we understand what the mush is.

Okay. So it's mush. Okay. Stick it in. Just like swallow in a cracker. Wow. Wow, okay. That's gross.

So every morning with my vitamins, I eat one club cracker. I eat half for like four with my vitamins, I eat one club cracker. I eat half for like four of my vitamins and then the other half for the other four. Interesting, because when it's mush, why not just get something that's already mushy like applesauce or something? Because it's almost like too thin.

Too liquidy. Something like crackers or bread, it's like thick enough, but then it's almost a mindset thing of oh well I'm just swallowing cracker. Yeah, yeah, you wanna try it Jake Do you need any pills to take? How you feeling? You need something? Yeah, yeah, let's punch him in the head real quick. We got a Tylenol PM in here. Yeah, punch him in the head. What do you need? I think I'm good for now. Unfortunately this comes at a bad time. I Haven't talked about it on the podcast. I don't want to brag but I'm on a hot streak right now

Oh three days in a row of not only on the first try but like the first try without struggling like I've been doing it for years Yeah, like you're what I've just the last three days like it goes in I take it and like I don't I'm not yeah Doing this or anything like I'm just like straight face swallowing it because actually did record myself for patreon It was pretty unsatisfying. I don't really need to upload Like I'm just like straight face swallowing it. Cause actually did record myself for Patreon. It was pretty unsatisfying. Like, well, I don't really need to upload this. It was like too easy. So as long as the pills stay as small as levothyroxine,

I might have it figured out, but this is really good to know for anything bigger than that. This is really good to know. I get a headache in China. Yeah. Do you guys have any club crackers? Ni hao.

Yeah, do you have any Ni hao crackers? Um. I'm like, do you guys have any club crackers? Ni hao. Yeah, do you have any ni hao crackers? I used to tell my patients this method. They're like, hey, it's kind of gross, but if you're really struggling, and because so many of them, as a nursing home, they take like 30 pills. Yeah. You know, so, but at that point they're professionals

at swallowing pills, so they didn't really need it. They just go crazy with them. But that chin tuck thing that you're talking about, that's like a swallowing method that we learned in school, but it doesn't make sense. It feels like it's the opposite. It's supposed to like widen your pharynx or like your throat basically. But I don't feel that when I do it. No, it didn't work for me.

I didn't even really feel, when I would tell patients to do I'm like Good luck don't tell me how it feels So our mom and dad just find that swallow pills or is it just like always been like a hey We're a liquid medicine family Yeah my mom's had like rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years or so, you know, she's had like rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years or something. Oh, really? So she's had to learn to take a bunch of pills.

Yeah. And I think my dad, just the way he eats like baloney and stuff in general is probably a lot like swallowing a pill. So, you know, it tastes as bad too. It's just mush. He's just mush method all the time. Yeah, he's always doing the mush method.

He doesn't even know. So yeah, I think they're fine. I texted your dad. I mean, he texted me. Anyway, I was like, hey, you're doing the mush about it. He doesn't even know. So yeah, I think they're fine. I texted your dad. I mean, he texted me anyway. I was like, how you're doing the hundred pushups still. He's like, yeah, you wouldn't know. It doesn't make a difference. I said, give me a break.

I was like, I bet he's looking better. He's gotta be building some muscle, but yeah, he continues to eat the same. So, oh, that makes a difference. Yeah. All right. Thank you, miss mush shout out Caitlin triplet Hoover, Alabama starting starting to sculpts to Not yet, I think

That's the part I get nervous about these days is the memorization. But yeah, I think at some point in this podcast,

I think we were like doing a bit, or I brought up something about how the thermostat buttons are confusing, leave, hold, stay, they all do the same thing. And so I actually started writing some jokes about that. So we'll see how those go over. Yeah, so thermostat jokes, it's supposed to be a boring topic,

but I'm like, at least it probably relates to everyone. Oh, totally. So yeah. That's half the battle. Yeah, it's just most boring topic. Well, I'm like, at least it's probably relates to everyone. Oh, totally. So yeah. That's half the battle. Yeah, it's just not isolating or ostracizing someone. So yeah, I got some thermostat material. I'm gonna talk about this house a little bit. It's like living in an old house and how it was built during the Great Depression.

Do some jokes about that. We'll see. Yeah. I don't know. And then doing some jokes. I wrote down a premise a long time ago. I think I might've mentioned on correct opinions, but living or like having a wife who buys fresh produce is exhausting is kind of like the idea of the bit

of just like I've got so many deadlines. I've always been told like when to eat something. And so just, I wrote some jokes about that. So we'll see. And then that'll kind of lead into the picky eaters bit that I've done before. So, so yeah. I got real overzealous at Costco the other day

and just went hard on some fresh produce. Have you noticed that, Hattie? We've been having a lot of fruits and vegetables recently. No, I have not noticed that. Oh my gosh. Get to the podcast, she gets extra good. I'm an old woman. Old woman?

She uses dainty forks. Come on. I'm an old woman with no teeth. I mean, to be fair, we usually have a lot of produce anyway. But yeah, I mean, I got about way too much. No, not too. I mean, that's the thing. Like, I think for the most part, we can eat it like especially fruit. Like we can go through.

You get a thing of raspberries. We could eat that as a family. And I love fruit thanks haddie uh yeah it's just like you can go through that stuff quick and so but yeah it's like you open up the fridge and it's like we got plenty of options i got one the old lady's talking again blackberries raspberries strawberries blueberries oranges He's talking again. Blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, bananas. Yummy! Bell peppers, cucumbers, all the things.

Rachel bought a bunch of fruit the other day and put them all in one bowl. So it was like the strawberries, blueberries, and grapes were all in one bowl. I was like, this is beautiful. I was like, we need to do more with this color scheme. Whatever color scheme of strawberries, blueberries, and grapes are. I love how they look together. What, yeah, green grapes, red grapes? Green grapes, cotton candy grapes.

Oh, cotton candy grapes. I always see those and I've been curious about them. They don't really taste like cotton candy, they're just like really good green grapes. Oh really? They're like next level. It's nice, crisp, solid green grapes. All right, I'll think about it.

I've never had a green grape I don't like though, so if they're more expensive, you don't need to. What about, you prefer green over red? Oh yeah. Really? I do, yeah. I like kind of the sourness. Okay.

I prefer red over green. Well, that's cause you're an old lady. You don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what I am talking about. I know what I'm talking about. You're crazy. Okay, Hattie on Wednesday, Wednesday episodes, we always do a win of the week,

which is just like something great to happen to you. So think about something great to happen to you. Okay. Do you have it? Okay, you can think. Do you have a win of the week, Jake? Yes, mine is, shout out to the ghosties. Every now and then you guys become very, very helpful.

When I first started my shred journey, I reached out to future people, you're very helpful with nutrition and weightlifting, but we found a new one. We were going off ranting the other day about the printer. I was so- Don't interrupt, okay? I was so bothered by my printer and someone,

I don't know who you are, but someone recommended that I look into a laser jet. I didn't even know about this, but my mind was opened and I'm a raving fan of the laser jet. Is that the one that's like a little bit expensive to start? Yes. Like it lasts forever kind of thing?

Yeah, so it takes toner instead of ink. Don't know what that means or what the difference is. I thought they were the same. Yep. I think this is more of like an office, like a corporate type printer where it's like, it can crank them out fast and it's only black and white. It's got that, it's got a smell to it.

I like the smell. it's a familiar smell. Like a high school printer smell. But I mean, I printed that just for fun. I installed my new printer and I'm printing all sorts of stuff. For this weekend, I think I'm gonna have everything printed off just because like, wow, it is a relief to have a reliable printer.

I love it so much. If I didn't have this wound, this like little cut on me, I was seriously gonna go off of space and like destroy my printer with a baseball bat. I was so infuriated by it. And I don't get this wound, this like little cut on me, I was seriously gonna go off of space and like destroy my printer with a baseball bat. I was so infuriated by it. And I don't get that way about things. I don't really feel anger or passion that way.

But I was like, man, this is so frustrating. It's like the worst piece of technology you've had in a while. It just doesn't work. Yeah. It just doesn't. I'm trying to get to the DMV for all these different, three different cars and none of it's working.

Just such a pain. But the laser jet. But the laser jet, wind laser jet win of the week Get yourself a laser jet. There's certain things. That's just like you just need it to work. You need to work Well, that's all you need and I just need black and white. I don't need color Yeah, oh, it's nice and it's like it's not wireless. I don't care. Yeah, I will happily plug it in Okay, so one of the week is a laser jet printer. Okay fired up about it Yeah, Catherine might not have to buy one of those for all the CC stuff or all the old school stuff we do,

but it's nice. All right, Hattie, what's your win? Seeing Bentley. Okay, talk normal, please. Seeing Bentley. And who's Bentley? My friend, my dad's friend's daughter. Yeah, Mr. Tate's daughter.

And she came over and we got dad bucks and we forgot to do the closing ceremony. Oh, we did. How many dad bucks did you get? I think six. We also went on a treasure hunt. How many papesos did you get? Huh?

Dad bucks. One to one ratio. Six, a six dollar bill. They've not an actual six dollar bill, but a piece of paper with six dollars on it. Not bad. That was fun. That's a good win of the week.

Hopefully we'll get that closing ceremony soon. Thank you. Can we get the closing ceremony on Saturday again? I'm not gonna be here tomorrow. No, not tomorrow. Saturday. I'm going to be with Mr. Jake doing a guys weekend, playing sports. So cool.

It'll be fun. It will be cool. It'll be super cool. My one of the week is also that, Hattie. I had a really fun time when mom went away with her friends. We had a good time with Space Jam. We had a good time with Tate and his family. It was just, you guys acted so well.

You guys behaved so well. All of you, Henry on up. We're just great. And we just had a lot of fun. Got to have some fun candy. Fun. Yeah. We got some ice cream at Chick-fil-A.

Yeah. Pancakes. it's a great time yeah so that's my win of the week it's just getting time with you guys i like mom being home i do too okay i'm not saying that everyone loves mom so much i think if i'm gone gone, it's like, yeah, dad's gone, I kind of miss her. But mom, when mom's gone, everyone's sad. Big deal. Yeah, Rosie can't go to sleep. Oh no.

You can't get Rosie to sleep, Hattie? Can't lullaby her to sleep? Yeah, big deal. Okay, calm down. Wow, the La Crona made me crazy. Yeah, sure. What was in there? Crazy powder. Mike's secret stuff.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Mike's secret stuff that's just water. Howdy, do you like seeing yourself on that screen? Yes. Hasn't taken her eyes off of it. She's going to listen back to this episode. You guys think it's so funny. Yeah, because it is.

All right, you're being loud. All right, I- We never get loud on this podcast ever, all right? Yeah, well, I talk loud, so it's hard to not talk loud. Yeah. So they need to be loud. Oh, what do you got? No, go ahead.

I saw this clip online. I thought it could maybe be a fun, like a little talking point. They were like, if you could curse someone else with like a minor inconvenience, let's be minor. Like what would you like choose if you really wanted to like irritate someone? And the comments were really good. So I'll give you like some options.

Oh, I had one. Oh, what do you think? Sneeze glitter. Sneeze glitter. Every time you sneeze there's glitter. Sneeze glitter. Every time you sneeze there's glitter. There's glitter everywhere. Yeah.

It's like it doesn't really affect anyone else. Like glitter is just so bothersome and like. It's not bothering me. Good point. It's not for everyone. All right, so some of the comments are like, for the rest of time you always hit a red light. Like you don't get a green light.

Like it'll eventually turn green, but it's always red. Every light? Yeah, it starts off red. That's terrible. Yeah, that's what happened when we were going to Chick-fil-A. That would be annoying. It would be very bothersome. All right, what do you think about this, Hattie?

Every time you wash like your hands or wash your face or something, some of the water goes down your sleeve. It's also a little bit annoying. Minor inconvenience. Bo's like, that's how I live my life right now. Every time you walk past a door handle or something, like your jacket or your shirt gets caught on it.

Also annoying. Okay. There's like, at all times, there's like an imaginary pebble in your shoe, where it feels like you have a rock in your shoe, but you can't ever get it out Oh One to beat right now

Yeah, so far that's the most annoying all right every time you have a do you have nachos or like dipping chips and stuff Chips and dip or anything like that Not really but both and rosy. I like them to love to dip stuff in hummus Vegetables and I also like carrots and ranch so I don't have it very often All right Maybe this is still work every time you dip a chip into cheese or every time you dip a Carrot into ranch or something in a hummus it snaps off and it breaks. Oh, and it falls in the dip Rosie would not like that because in the end they couldn't use any dip.

Rosie's a big dip gal. Can I tell the story about what the refried beans and RC? Please. Well, one night we were having dinner and we'd ordered it from the store and there was some refried beans. And dad had showed Rosie how to dip chips in the refried beans. This is actually a very popular story.

I tell it to everybody who gets a subject. And then we were having dessert and it's maybe called, it's something French, it's something French. Some French. Madeline's. Madeline's. I thought it was Madeline's or Madeline's or something, but I couldn't think, I wasn't sure.

Go ahead. So then Rosie dipped her Madeline's into refried beans. And liked it! She did. Switch the camera off. She did the, and liked it The camera Cookies yeah cookies and refried beans she loves No, she was a little one-year-old girl, I think just went for it loving it All right. What do you think about these every time you use ketchup you get like the ketchup water instead of the actual ketchup

You know what that is Hattie? Yeah, like the juice water instead of the actual ketchup. You know what that is, Hattie? Eee. Yeah, like the juice at the beginning. At the beginning. Every seat or every table you ever sit at is like slightly uneven and wobbles. I hate all these. These are like making me like, like, yeah. All of them make me so sad.

I don't like any of them either. Every video you ever watch online buffers and lags. What does buffers and lags mean? Sometimes when we watch a movie on the TV and it'll like stop for a second, and then it'll keep playing. What if every single time we're watching something it stopped every once in a while like that?

That is pretty annoying. Yeah, that would be terrible. You just have a few crumbs in your bed that you're like unable to get out. That's Catherine's nightmare. I had crumbs in my bed and it was a lot because I had breakfast in bed and I don't know how the crumbs got in

because I was holding over. But then we had to put a blanket on my bed and I did not like it very much because before I put the blanket on, because it was very itchy. I mean not itchy, annoying. Yep. Yeah, that would be annoying.

Every time you leave the house, your sock falls down under your heel and it's like halfway on your shoe and you have to take your shoe off and pull your sock back up. I never like when that happens and the house is gonna sue me all the time. That would be annoying.

That one's not too bad. Really? Yeah. That one's not too bad. Really? Yeah, but it's not too bad. That's inconvenient, but. What about wet socks? Oh. Permanent wet socks. No, thank you.

No, thank you. That sounds miserable. No, that's, you'd have Super miserable. You'd have a disease or something if that happened. You probably would get hypothermia. Some, I never like it when mom puts ice cold socks on my feet.

Oh, like when you're sick? Yep. It's cold. All right, what about every time you eat a hamburger, like the patty like slides out from like the buns every time. That's kind of annoying. It's not as annoying because I do like plain buns. Okay.

It would be a little bit annoying. They'd rather have the bun than the burger. Especially Bo. Bo, yeah. Every time you put like headphones in or earbuds in, like they just fall out. Like every five minutes they just fall out. That.

I had that happen to me before and it was not very funny. How do you has input for all these? That's great. I don't have inputs for all of them. You're literally having input about having input. What's input? An opinion, something to say. Okay, well I'm trying to have an opinion.

This one's so minor, this would be the last one. This would annoy me though. Just your phone will just dim at the most inconvenient times. Just randomly, it just like goes black. It's just, it's just so. I don't like that, but it's not too much of a problem for me because I don't have a phone. Never will you, ever.

Good input. I will! You're 21. Yeah! Oh, baby, it's good rancher season. You know why it's good rancher season? Why is it that time of year? Because it's always a good time of, you know, what, uh, days I like to, you know, what seasons I like to eat meat in? Eat meat in who? Everyone that ends in Y. Right, Hattie? Yeah. Hattie gets it.

Yeah. So that's more. Actually don't get that. Hattie, what do you, okay. This is fun to like just like let Hattie just endorse this stuff for us. Hattie, what's your favorite thing from Good Ranchers? I don't know.

Okay, this was good. Two out of three though, two out of three. Do you ever eat Good Ranchers? Yeah, all the time. All the time. We like having grilled chicken from Good Ranchers. Yep, we have grilled chicken all the time. And Ted grills it.

For your birthday, what did you request for your dinner? Spaghetti and... I thought you requested Viking chicken. Oh yeah, I did request Viking chicken. That's my favorite from good ranchers. Yeah, it is. I requested Viking chicken and noodles and Brussels sprouts. Those are my favorite. Yummy, yummy, yum, yum. The Brussels sprouts and noodles, not good rancher. Gonna have to go elsewhere for that. You know, maybe unsifted. Yeah, not good ranchers. The Viking chicken is amazing. It's literally as easy as it gets. You take skull, skull, chicken, oven, oven.

You literally take a bunch of chicken, some lemons, some garlic, and you put it on a pan and you put it in the oven. It's like a nursery rhyme. You take a little lemon, take a little lemon, throw it in the pan, throw it in the pan. That's right. Hey, why do we love Good Ranchers?

Tell your friends. Let's just put it this way, Hattie. One million. What way? Oh, that's a lot! Yeah, so you better not say anything inappropriate. Make sure those cameras are on us when we're talking. Yeah. All right. Couple last things. Please. As I'm doing my Asia trip preparation, you know, I look into, what do I need to get to China? Okay, an eSIM or maybe a VPN, you know, some Reddit comment says like, bring your own toilet paper. I'm like, well, okay, what's that about? After I've now seen the toilet paper comment

like five different times. So I'm like, I can't ignore this any longer. Really? I guess I need to bring toilet paper. Like, does that seem like a thing? Like you see that you think, oh, I'm sure it's fine. Do they just not have it? Are they bidet people?

I guess it's not that common. Really? They're just clean colon people? Clean colon people. Chinese, no toilet paper. Triple C's, clean colon Chinese. Do Chinese people just carry toilet paper around? Oh, they just don't provide it publicly.

Yeah, it's like not in the bathrooms. Wow, life hack. They'd probably save a lot of money on that. There you go, somebody think about, you know, if we go into a recession. Holy cow. Come back on toilet paper. So I guess I'll be bringing a couple rolls.

I don't know. Apparently many shops sell little wallet style tissue packs. I would need more. So, all right. Let's, one more thing. You got one more thing to wrap up? Then I gotta go. One more thing to wrap up.

I thought you did, you just said a couple things. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm deciding. What's that, what is that from? It's in the office. Everybody's like, all right, you can do one more. Michael's like, ooh, just one more? Okay, let me find out.

Forget it. Sorry, yeah. All right, last thing. Just one joke? Oh, just one joke, okay. I gotta make sure it's a good joke Oh, just one. I Let me should talk about some more time when it's back, but it's been really cool to see him You know, he's the main guy in charge of the lighting

So, I mean he's working closely alongside Derek who's like the main cinematographer on this like movie Yeah, it's a movie for YouTube and yeah, it's just a few of us. It's a small crew But I've been impressed by time and it's not like he's the 18 year old, just like taking orders, like, what do we need? I'll do. Yes. He's like filling a need, but also like he's giving like suggestions. He's like not too scared to like give advice and like even just like not super contrarian, but it's like, I actually think it looks better this way.

I'm like, yeah, dude, that's for you. That's the first thing I was impressed with him by. Yeah. Like initially was just like, uh, let me change this. Actually this will look better. Good for you. That's the first thing I was impressed with him by. Yeah. Like initially was just like, let me change this. Actually this will look better. Yeah. Yeah, so.

Good. It's been fun and yeah, my role is, I'm like Trey's little brother. I'm like the comedic relief. So I've only had one shoot day. I go in tomorrow to shoot some more, but it's fine. I just get to goof off and I'm just trying to make like time and then Zach laugh.

And yeah, yeah. So we've had fun. I mean like Trey was trying to rattle off like one of his lines and it was hard to memorize. I mean, like, Trey was trying to rattle off like one of his lines, and it was hard to memorize, so he's like, Zach, can you write it down and just hold it up for me? And then everyone got so tickled that Trey couldn't get through it,

and so Trey's like, has a serious face trying to say this, and Zach is now laughing so hard that he's like covering up his face. Trey's like, all right, you can't cover up your face. You've got to hold it. So Zach's like, okay, I'll hold it. And he's laughing so hard of himself, he's trembling. He's like shaking, holding the paper.

And he's like, all right, we got to tape it to a pole or something. Like you got to hold it together. So it's been fun and I'm sure time is getting plenty of good experience, but it's been a lot. It's like 10 hour days every day. I haven't like seen him or got to talk to him much. How long do you think this like whole movie is going to be?

Hour and 10 or so probably. Wow. Yeah, so. What whole movie is gonna be hour and ten or so probably Wow?
