Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHart Podcast presents Soccer Bombs. So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school.

Absolutely. A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips. This is a podcast where we're going to be. recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey with all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Something we're doing a little different is we're doing part two before we do the show. We're recording

from my house today and there's power out everywhere. Still near my house. I'm very lucky that I have power, but all around me, still people without power. One of our friends who had power lost power again last night. Josie did. It's like a little bit of hope and then gone. Well, they had it for two days. So they had full hope and then it was all gone again. So which makes me nervous that that could happen here, but we're also recording this before we record the show. So I don't want to be later on in the day and lose power. And the files are probably a bit shorter. Uh, week because again when we were able to get out we're able to get out Amy's just walking in so we will yeah power yet yeah but I saw that text as well but it's starting to go up again all over

you saw the text from my neighborhood group yeah I saw you're on that three neighborhood group text I saw one from like a neighborhood called Belmead where they're like we don't want to publicly say because they're maybe looting in the houses if we say you're not getting it back for two weeks and then some of it started to pop up some other friends they were told next week they started to get power last night. So I don't know that you'll get it, but I bet it's a little quicker. I bet they're setting expectations low.

Yeah. Yeah, which is good. Like set them low and then, yeah, we'll get it back. I'm fine with that. I'm betting you get it tomorrow. That would be lovely. If I'm a betting man. I am a betting man.

I am a betting man, but I can't bet it. Yeah, Drive King doesn't have that. Yeah, no, that would be so great. You know what I found yesterday? My faucet outside. Busted. You didn't wrap it? I did wrap it.

Oh. I wrapped it, but I was driving up and I saw it, and it looks like a waterfall coming out of the side of my house. And now we had to call someone. I don't know how bad it is. We had to call a guy one of our, it's weird to complain about this. We have power now at our house, which is awesome. But we have a pool and that busted and water was going everywhere. So we had to call.

I mean, wang, wang, way, a pool. You have a pool, fancy boy. But pipes, busted pipes and no joke. But that pipe was. Oh, boy. So, yeah, it's been a mess. It looks like a tornado hit. That's the closest thing that I can compare it to.

You see that drone footage? Like the drone footage people have over neighborhoods is, yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeah. Like all the overhead shots with just massive trees down everywhere, it looks like a tornado is it. So that's what we're up to. This will be before. We'll still do the show. We're still going to put them up in order of part one, a part two.

But if they're a little shorter today, that's what's up. What did you guys do last night? I ate dinner and went to sleep. Like I'm so tired. We're staying at a friend's house. but my pets are not acclimating there well at all. So like my cat meowed all night long. She doesn't know what's going on.

So I was just ready to go to bed. And then she peed. It's the whole thing. I now have to call it professional. Oh, because it's not your house. She peed on something. You got to clean it. Oh, for sure.

Yeah, I'm like, oh, okay. Just denied. Not my cats, Pete. And she doesn't have a cat? No, they do have a cat. Thank God. I think that's why my cat's allowed because, like, they're cat people.

Because most people would be like, yeah, you can come, but not your cat. Bring your dog, fine. No cats. Eddie, you're good power. We've been good, yeah. Yeah, he's living large. Is Lockbox have power yet? Yeah, he got it back.

Yeah. Yeah, he got it back. I can't remember what day, but he didn't have it, and then he got it back. I think the issue with him is no hot water or something like that. Yeah, and he has people over at his house too, like neighbors that are staying at his house. Lunchbox, you there? Yeah, I'm here. What's happening?

I have power, but I have a family that's been staying with me. They've been there three nights now. They still don't have power. And half of my neighborhood still doesn't have power. So there's two other families that they come over during the day and let their kids warm up and hang out. And they try to get some work done using their hot spot on their phone. And then they go back home and sleep in the cold.

I keep looking at the outage map. And at one point, it was at like 330,000. For the first time, it's less than 100,000. Oh, that's good. Like, I watch it constantly. They're working. I saw there was a place in town. I think more than one place that's giving all the linemen free food.

Like, if you're working on the line, you go by, you get free food. Oh, I saw that. Yeah. Even the highway, the interstate doesn't have lights. Some. Yeah, that's how you know what blocks have power. Yeah. Because.

Okay. So the light, actually, it's kind of near here. So I saw an accident and it's like a big four-way light situation. and when the lights are out, you treat it like a four-way stop. Everybody doesn't know that. People just drive through. How do they not know that? They should know that.

How? Because there's no lights and stop and they're used to going on that road. And if a light doesn't say stop, they just go. I think what got confusing is the lights before it work. So then they just think they don't see red. So they're like, oh, this must still be a green light too. But you don't see any color. If it doesn't say stop, you just keep going if you've always gone.

Right. These two trucks. So I know these are like grown men. crashed into each other. Well, that's sexist. You didn't see them crash, though, right? I saw them off to the side dealing with police. Oh, and I'm like, dang.

Somebody didn't stop. Treat it like a four-way stop. However, if it's a busy road and then there's a crossing one, you know, like if there's no traffic on the smaller road, I think the big one dominates, right? Like the bigger, if it's five lands versus two. If the traffic's out, you have to stop. It's a, if the lights out. Like you can't just go interpreting.

it how you want while driving. That's what you're doing. Like, well, if it's 33% smaller, you should probably, if the light is out, everyone should stop. So these guys in their trucks thought, they're like, it's my turn. No, it's my turn. They're doing Eddie's method. Yeah. The bigger road dominates. Oh, yeah. So any whozy. Yeah, we start with that. I've only cried like three times. Today or in general? No, total. Since the power went out. I'm like, that's not bad. I thought you were going to fall coming in here today. I texted me. I was like, look, there's still eyes. I didn't even look at. I don't even look at. I don't

my phone out because I can't multitask in this. You texted just her? Yeah. Even though me and Mike could have fallen. Yeah. You guys don't wear heels. We don't. Well, my thing is, I only have certain clothes at my friend's house. I haven't brought, and it's like either my house slippers or then I was like, why did I bring these dang

boots, but. Why don't you take your cute shirt that you were wearing? What cute shirt? The one with the shoulder pads? The pirate one. Oh, my cute purple. No, I don't no, I didn't take that. I have like warm sweaters, but I'm going to go by my house today and pick up some stuff. hopefully no looters have come.

That's a risky proposition that looting. It is. You just don't know if people are there. If you're betting on powers out, let's go and break into these houses because nobody's there. Some people are still at their houses. Yeah.

Like, or some people are going to stop by. And if I stop by, I will hurt you. Oh, nice. No, you won't. If you stop buying someone's in your house, you're not going in. You're gone. Well, here's the thing, though.

I'm like, you're also taking the risk of like you're not getting away fast because there's ice, you could slip. Like you can't drive away. So I'm like, yeah, risk it. Luters. No, you're not. You're not like risk it.

Have you heard of looters? No, but I've been fearing them ever since I abandoned my home. Today in 1988 on this day, January 29th. Always and Forever by Randy Travis became a platinum album. Today in 1996 at the American News. Music Awards. Garth Brooks refused to accept an award for favorite artist of the year, saying he cannot agree with this, and it should have gone to... Hootie and the Blowfish.

That's correct. Good memory. Wow. Garth Brooks accepted two other awards. The Eagles got three, Reba, Alabama, and Shania Twain each got one. So yeah, he left the award up there. And why didn't accept that one? Because he said he didn't deserve it. You don't know this story?

We talked about it. We feel like I've heard it, but it wasn't like... If I know it, you know it. But it wasn't a stance. It was just like, I don't deserve this, so here's... And then he left it there on the podium. I don't remember that. That's crazy. Today in 1999, the Dixie Chicks collected a quadruple platinum album for wide open spaces.

If they reprint that album, which you don't reprint a lot of stuff because you don't have a lot of CD or, I guess, vinyl. Sure. Do they put Dixie Chicks on that because that was their name whenever they... I don't think so. You think they put chicks on wide open spaces? Like, what's the artwork on it now? Did they change the artwork? If they were to reprint it?

You think they put chicks instead of Dixie Chicks? 100% even though that wasn't their name then. Yeah, but that... Like if you played ball for the Cubs in 1997, and then you went and played for the Red Sox, and you're like, I need to reprint my 97 card. You don't reprint you in a Red Sox uniform. You reprint you in an old Cubs uniform.

Yeah, but the name wasn't changed because of a negative association. Do you know what I mean? Like... I don't know. I think they would still put on the old albums. So like, if you pull it up on streaming, it still says Dixie Chicks on the album cover, the artwork. Well, yeah, but...

because they haven't read. No, on streaming, but you could, you can change that easily. Oh yeah, that would be easy. You're right. So I guess they wouldn't.

It's not a hill I want to die on fighting for this that I'm right, but I would think, because that's what it was then, and that's what it's probably... Okay, so any music they put out... After the chicks.

So then when we play, like on Women of I Heart Country, if we play a throwback from the chicks, I say the chick. I know, but... You can say that now, because that's her name now. Right.

So I say... If you were in a time machine, you went back to that time, you wouldn't say the chicks. Yeah. You don't want to say it? No. I'll say, I'll say it.

But I just thought, like, because of the reason behind the change that they would just stick with that, you know? Yeah. Like, Lady A, like, would Lady Annabellum do the same thing? Mm-hmm. Any of their stuff when they were Lady Annabelle, if they're remaking it,

they probably just continued to remake it with the original art. Yeah. Gretchen Will. Wilson signed her record deal on this day in 2004. In 2008, on CMT Crossroads, Sarah Evans and Maroon 5. 2013, Stevie Nixon and Lady Annabellum

did an installment of CMT Crossroads. That's cool. And then in 2014, Tim McGraw, Miranda, he's got seven nominations at the ACMs. Keith Urban got six. There you go. That's what's happened on this day in country music. Do you have your story?

I can get my computer out, yeah. There's no Wi-Fi. I have mine. There's no Wi-Fi? There's no Wi-Fi? Well, I still have it. I can still pull it up. You can just go from the dome. Listen, I can remember that Garth left his trophy up there for Hootie,

but I can't remember what I prepared last night. Eddie, do you want to try yours? Yeah, I got mine. So you know how people do dry January for alcohol and they cut alcohol out for a month of day. Anybody that says they're doing dry January? I think they have a problem. No, my boyfriend doesn't. He doesn't.

No, I'm just telling you what I think. I think they have a problem. Amy, take it easy. She jumped hard. Relax. I think if you have to go dry for a whole month to reset yourself, it means you go pretty hard in all the other months. Yeah, I agree.

No, you can't agree. You just yelled at me. I agree with what you're saying. I said, however, in some cases, they use it as a, like, just, they like to do it as a complete reset and they're not big drinkers. Like, since I've been dating him, I drink less than I've ever drank,

so much so that I'm like, I'm not doing dry. January. You don't need to, but exactly. That's my point. But he's doing it. Is it? Well, because he drinks a lot. No, he doesn't. When you're not looking. This is like a health thing. He'll even, he actually, he actually does it into half of February. He does like six weeks. Oh, really? Because he heard. It sounds even more hardcore. It's that bad. He does dry 2026 because all the other years have been so bad. He does that because if he's already made it the whole month without like any type of out. then something for the liver and the kidneys, if you can make it six weeks, the repair is even

better. Anyway, I know that sounds even worse. I have neighbors that, like, they come over and they don't really drink much, but they're doing dry January. And so it's the other side of it, like, you don't really drink anyway, so what are you doing? Unless they really do, they just don't drink around to you. But I drink. Like, they come to the house.

I usually have, like, you know, bottles out and whatever. and then like they don't even drink. But I saw them the other day and they're like, yeah, we're doing dry January. What I would respect is if you did dry January, no liquids at all. Nothing. No water. I said I would respect it. I didn't say it was smart.

That's really dry. That's a real fast right there. Hey, stop. You want to do it real fast, Eddie? Do dry January no liquid. Okay, what's your point? So anyway, my story was that the cannabis companies are, want everyone to do high January. If you're not doing dry January, start doing high January.

start doing high January. And orange juice companies want people do citrus January. I thought that was funny. I wish there was some sort of a... I've been getting conflicting information about that. I mean, I don't... Cannabis?

So it doesn't matter. But like, you know how gummies are more popular, different things that can help you sleep better, calm, and I don't know all the different ingredients. But like I see brain experts online saying, if you have ADHD, you should stay away from the stuff like the THC or I don't know because of how your brain operates where yes for a lot of people it is fine and you should do it but if you have ADHD you know Dr. Amin do you see him a lot

he's the bald guy that always talks about I don't know these people are right no no no he does she starts talking Mandarin and I just sit back no no he he like has scanned Chloe Kardashian's brain and a lot of other I don't know that is okay yeah if I showed you his face you probably like oh yeah I've seen that guy pop up before uh because he's renowned Anyway, I need it. Amin like Amen? Uh-huh. He's renowned.

He is renowned. He is. And I just wish there was a comprehensive, you know, everything was just in one spot and I could check. Like what, yeah, yeah. Never seen him. What? Our algorithms are so different. I've seen him.

Like what we should stay away from or take or not. Like his alcohol is terrible for people with ADHD, apparently terrible. But I mean, you know, you still dabble. but like how bad is if I were to take a gummy, a legal one. I don't know. We don't have the answer. I want to be able to relax or sleep or calm my brain.

It's probably all trial and error. But then the next day, I don't want to be all a mess. You probably won't know until you do it and see if you're a mess. I don't want to be the guinea pig. Are there cannabis hangovers? It's not a guinea pig.

I think everybody's body is completely different. Our biology, even us four, all so different from each other. I mean, I can't have milk. milk. So think about that. You guys can't have milk, no problems. But I can't have milk. Same thing could happen with any sort of chemical food plant. So you have to do it and see how it treats you. You have to do like five times. Right. Because then it's also like, well, what else did you eat that day? You haven't done a gummy? I've done a gummy. Oh. She's on one right now. You're here?

No. I've done. And when my mom was sick, my sister and I would smoke with her. That was. You guys are like a dovy? Yeah. Like in the, yeah. After. We bought it on a street corner in Austin from like a high school friend. On a street corner from a high school friend, that doesn't match. Like you made it sound like you're out just looking for weed and then it was a high school friend. No, we got. Like, can anybody have any? Mark?

You're out here selling drugs from geometry? And then it was like, and then we mentored them and got him back on the right path. No, no. No, they were definitely, no, they were, it was good stuff. It was called Lance Armstrong. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment,

and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. You can have opinions, you can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

On a recent episode of the podcast Money and Wealth with John Hope Bryant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth, starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself

and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, You already know, there's a lot to break down.

Gorsha accusing Kelly of sleeping with a merry man. They holding Kay Michelle back from fighting Drew. Pinky has financial issues. I like the bougie style of Housewives show. I think it looks like it's going to be interesting. On the podcast, Reality with the King, I, Carlos King, recap the biggest moments from your favorite reality shows, including the Real Housewives franchise,

the drama, the alliances, and the team everybody's talking about. executive producer in reality television, I'm not just watching it. I understand the game. As somebody who creates shows, I'll even say this. At the end of the day, when people are at home, they want entertainment. To hear

this and more, listen to Reality on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Your story, lunchbox. Yeah, Ryan Wedding, that big drug dealer they got busted in Mexico. He appeared in court, where is facing 17 federal charges, drug trafficking, witness tampering, and conspiracy to commit murder.

He pleaded not guilty. And he's saying, hey, you guys didn't arrest me. I turned myself in because I'm ready to clear my name. So I don't know if he turned himself in or got caught, but his trial is set for March 23rd. Yeah, I saw two different stories. I saw that he turned himself in in Mexico. Yeah. They said he walked to the embassy and then the U.S. authorities were like, no, we tracked him down in Mexico and we bused

at him so I don't know what happened. Okay, I don't believe us. So he probably will turn in something. We're lying all the time right now. It's nothing but lies. You mean like our country? Yes. So it's crazy.

I was watching Ram Paul yesterday go up Marco Rubio in a hearing about Venezuela. And you guys don't watch this? No, we did. It was renowned. Renowned. And Rand Paul said, Rubio.

So if another country came and took our presence, and came in four hours and, you know, there were just a few casualties. Would that be an active war? And he's like, well, that's not what we're talking about. He goes, no, would it be? Would that be an active war? And he's like, that, no, we're due. No, we would. He said, so you're saying, so we went into their country, took their president. It wasn't a big, we didn't drop any bombs, but we took their president, arrested him, brought him back to our country. That's an act of war. And you're saying it's not. And he's like, well, that's not. But if someone did that to us, it would be. And he's like you're such a hypocrite.

I don't trust anything our government tells us now, more than ever. It's absolutely the worst that it's ever been. Oh, hypocrisy is the theme right now. I know also everybody has cameras. That's the, yes, that's how we know. You're able to see a lot of times. But imagine the stuff they tell us that there are no cameras. So he probably went in and turned himself in.

Now, I don't know if he did it or not. It probably did. I'm just going to be probably did. There's a lot of smoker on that fire. But I don't believe anything. that they're telling us. So, Merry Christmas.

Yeah, cool. Good stuff. Happy New Year. Yeah, it's, I think our people now, our citizens have the least confidence.

Faith, trust. And our government ever. And a lot of it too, it's just because there are a lot of cameras and they're just getting caught lying. They probably lie to us forever. But it's wild, man.

Morgan. There's a woman in Florida. So she was at a Burlington Coat factory. Her name was April and she saw this 92-year-old woman working. And she went up to her and was like, wow, you're, you know, you're doing great. You're on your feet. And the 92-year-old was obviously not happy that she was at work. And they got to talking and she said that, you know, she has rent and a car payment and car insurance

and all these utility bills that she has to pay and her social security doesn't cover it. So April went on a local Facebook page talking about like the 92-year-old still working. and doing all of this. And as of Tuesday afternoon, there has been almost $65,000 raise to help this woman stop working. 90 plus years old, still working. The real payoff to that bit would be

after she collects all of her money, it's really Johnny Knoxville. He rips all that old woman mask. You know I did, you guys ever said Johnny Knoxville, old man? Yeah. He's like, got you. It's not an old lady.

Thank you all. That sucks to be 92. still working. Still working. It doesn't sound like she has a lot of support with her. All right. Amy, what do you have? So when a psychiatrist or a psychologist, excuse me, asked patients to write a letter to their future self, their anxiety dropped by 34%. And I imagine a lot of people out there are feeling kind of anxious right now for various reasons. So we sit down and write letters to your future self. Oxford found that the practice is equal to cognitive. therapy and you just takes like 15 minutes a day or so you just sit down and write to your future

self. Who do you want to be? How do you want to show up? What other things would you like to see in yourself and in your life? And it can be very, well, therapeutic. And I was cleaning out my daughter's room the other day and I opened up her nightstand and I saw an envelope and it was sealed and it was letter to my 25 year old self. Oh, dang. And I was like, oh. What did say? You read it? You didn't read it? No, it was sealed. That's temper. That's temper. Man. I know it's not. You put it over like scheme or whatever and open it.

Get a new envelope and like try to try. Yeah. No, I was tempted. But I was like, oh man, she must have been told about this exercise, maybe in therapy or something. Or maybe it's something her and her friends did. Or maybe she's all on TikTok. You never know. But she has a letter in her drawer to her 25 year old self.

I feel like writing a letter to your future self is a lot riskier than writing one to your old self. Because writing one to your future self in your mind, you're going to do all these great things. You're like, hey, but at this point in your life, you've done this, you've probably accomplished this, you've got this going on, and then you get there, and you're like, I can do any of that. Because I think all of us probably had a different version of, I mean, not really for me, I'll be honest with you. You're living it out. A little bit, a little bit, yeah. But, you know, I think a lot of folks probably thought they'd be somewhere different than they are and had these great dreams and had to divert their path for some reason. And so all of a sudden you're like, wow, I'm going to be, you know, president of the United States.

You're like, oh, man, I'm not. I'm still here, Mountain Pine. Nothing changed. That feels like it'd be a little riskier. Yeah. So is that what you do? You're right. Like, wow, you've made a lot of money.

Like, congratulations. You still have all your hair, Eddie. I bet you look great today. Like, what do you write? Okay. It's called the best possible self-practice and you spend 15 minutes a day for a couple weeks describing who you want to become a year from now. The brain interprets this as already real.

When a person visualizes their best self, the brain receives a clear reference point and replaces chaos with structure. And structure is the opposite of anxiety. I see what you're saying. Risky. Very risky. It may feel good now,

but when you open that thing in a year, I just wouldn't open it. Oh, don't. You don't have to go back and read it. Oh, you don't. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's what it sucks. It's like a message in a bottle and it comes back.

But I think once you put it to paper, you already remember what you thought. No, I wouldn't. You wouldn't? Nah. I don't think so. Or would I even remember to think about it in a year? Like you'd have to put that on a...

Oh, yeah, that's true. On a cow. I don't know what? A cow. CAL, yeah. I thought you said a cow. I did too. Like, like, move.

And where do you send the cow? And I was like, is this some like brandy? Like, you got to brand it. You got to stamp it in there. My cow. When did you start calling it a cow? Everything's put in the cow. Please tell us.

Stop. CAL, you guys don't put in the cow? Nope. I just write CAL, send. It's in the cow. Yeah, it's in the cow. You guys, well, Amy probably uses our calendar a lot.

Oh, yeah. I love my calendar now. I use a calendar. Yeah, but it's different. Do you though? Yes, my wife keeps the calendar. Okay. And that's how I know what's going on.

I was so anti-calendar. And it's shared. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so we have a calendar. I'm like, if we're going to do something, I'll add to the calendar. Around like 2019, 2020 is when I started using the calendar

and changed my life. I remember I bought an organizer. You remember those little organizers that E-fold or whatever and it's got a calendar, notepad and all that stuff? I would buy it every year to do when I was in my 20s.

Never used them. Yeah, I never used one of those. And it was like, I want to be organized this year. Never would use them. Yeah, I never use one of those. Even like paper journals. Oh, I love them.

No, lose them. Or just don't go back to them. Would you write at least on the first page? Yeah, like two pages. Lose them. Where are you carrying it? I don't know. There's like one page journals.

is scattered all over the town. Yeah. I do best at just writing in my laptop because I always have that. Yeah, yeah. I just don't need something else to be lugging around. Do you have like a doc or like a notes app of like your journaling's?

I don't journal. Or do you just type and then delete. No, I definitely don't do that. If I write something, I was talking about this in therapy, I was like, if I write something, I'm writing it for two reasons. One, for a bit of therapy, but two, if I die, like my wife should sell it

like sell it as a book. Like I'm writing it. I'm writing it in performance as well. It's true, but I'm writing it in performance. What? She is not going to sell it as a book. I'll remind her. But I've told her.

And my therapist is like, how about you do, you know, like one page can be that and one page can be real? You're like, and then she can go on a book tour. Dude, that's so smart. Yeah. And so like, someone's doing it now. Little fiction in there? No, there's no fiction. Like did you wrestle with a big?

No, I didn't do Matthew McCona had green lights. Okay. No, but see, I think that he has so much information in there because he was a journaler. Like, he admits to being a lifelong person that journals. And I think I was contemplating this about his book. I'm like, how did he know all these stories? And how does he remember all these details? Yeah, a lot of it's like exaggerated.

I'm sure there's a combo of that. But I want to believe it's because he journaled and he had the proof. I think a lot of it just there going on. Then it can't be a memoir. No, it's not. It's a lot of it's fiction. I thought it was called a memoir. You can call it whatever you want.

This is this podcast, a memoir. Okay, we called it a memoir. Cool. Oh, okay. He should be like memoir mixed with a little bit of... No, because I didn't sell as well. And who cares? You read it the same, like, oh, that's crazy.

No. I read it like, did this really happen? Well, you can believe that. And he remembers every detail of a fight in a barn with his dad. That's the beauty of art. You can believe that if you want. Okay. It's also the beauty of misinformation, Eddie.

Well, but this is just a book that he's selling. It's not like... And that's just Twitter and Facebook. Oh, that's true. A lot of fake stuff out there. A lot of misinformation. A picky five-year-old hooked on sausage rolls breaks the habit after hypnosis.

I got hypnotized one time on stage, in college, at a performance, and I faked it the whole time. So you weren't really hypnotized. This is the first time I ever told anyone that you faked it? I've mentioned this before. But they did the whole thing, and he was kicking people off that he knew we're faking it or maybe wouldn't play the role.

and he's like, you're asleep. I fell on my headfall. So dumb. And then I just did the whole thing. And then I would ask other people after like, well, you really hypnotic? They're like, yeah. I was not hypnotized at all.

Nothing. Nothing about it was real to me. I was just playing a role up there. I thought at one point, I did have the thought of shit. I just right now I go, I'm not even hypnotized. But then I thought,

I don't want to do that and run the guy. Yeah. Is this what's happening with the, what was that, Yanny and gnarly people? What's the word? the thing where we hear different things. And I'm like, it's collectively a certain group of society acting like Bobby.

And they're all just like, I'm acting like I hear the other word. Because how do we hear two different words? I think that's the point of it. Just like we talked about earlier, the biology of a person's body or brain. That's what you would say because you're acting. Oh, my God. I'm not acting. I can't believe you guys are the other one.

We can't believe you now because you fake the hypnotists. Yanni and what's the other one? Laurel. Laurel and Yanni. I mean, they're so different. But what about the dress? Yeah, exactly. Two different colors.

I was thinking about this the other day. I don't, colors aren't my thing. But anyway, this kid got hypnotized to break pizza pockets, and he's five years old, so I don't think he's faking it. So did it? A five-year-old boy would only eat Greg's sausage rolls, and he's now eating more food after a hypnosis session. I was watching the Elizabeth Smart documentary.

Have you all started that on Netflix? I started it. We don't have any power. Where are you watching that? Your friends? And my friends asked, they had it on. I barely, I walked, by. So this is the only part I saw. The younger sister who was in the room when Elizabeth was

taken remembered some details, but not all. And part of her, when they would be talking to her, part of the process was at one point they hypnotized her to see if more would come to her. And I'm like, that's, that's really a tool. I don't know, because I don't know if hypnosis is real or not. And it's like, what if in the hypnosis she saw, some other thing and then said it. I think they probably look at it like that, but they probably investigate any lead that comes from. And if the lead turns into something, then it counts.

But I don't think they blindly assigned truth to people that are quoting things back in hypnosis. What's crazy is at four months or some point after that, she did have a sudden memory of who it was and she named him and police blew it off. That's crazy. Elizabeth Smart's sister. And it was exactly who had kidnapped her.

Sometimes I'll do that. Like, what's that guy's name? This ain't pink houses? And then I won't, like, I know it. I've said his name of 10,000 times. And then I won't look it up. And then like four days later, John Mellencamp out of nowhere.

Yeah. It was sort of like that. And she was so young. And one day she was just like, she went to her dad and she was like, it was Emmanuel. Someone she, they barely had contact with. And sure enough,

that was exactly who took her. But police were like, what? This is so random. It doesn't make sense. following other leads. Then she goes, John Mellencamp. Ted Lassau gets a season for summer release window.

That's a show I really loved. And then I just didn't watch it anymore. You didn't finish it? I watched season one. Watch like two episodes of season two, never went back to it. Never watched season two or three. But it was never bad. I just never went back to it.

That's good. Even towards the end. Well, it's not over. Well, I thought it was over forever until. said they were going to have a new one. You like it, Mike? Yeah, it was supposed to be over. They're like, we're done.

Oh, really? You're paid it so much money? We're back. Now he's going back to England to coach a woman's soccer team. Oh, okay. That's what I read, a women's football team. I like it. It's just a feel-good show you can watch with everyone.

I'm not. What? Like kids or anything? You don't watch it with kids? There's bad words, but it's all clean content, right? Not there's stuff. What? Yeah, there's like.

Okay, but it's fine. Like, they don't, some of it. Eddie. His 18-year-old can't see that stuff yet. Not my 18-year-old. He's fine. But, like, the other ones, yeah, you got to watch out when you watch stuff. Oh, yeah.

Okay. But that show? Yeah. Yeah, like Keeley. She's a little crazy. Yeah, she is. But also, it's like opportunity for conversation. No, I'm not, I just want to watch a show.

Like, I don't want to have the whole talk. You don't have to talk. Let me pause it and be like, all right, guys. What's happening here? Oh. All right, we got to go over to the real show, which is part one. We like doing part to the best. But again, apologies for the files being a little shorter this week.

We're just trying to get our lives back at this point. But now that we have power, that helps me a lot, not to rub it in. Now I'm happy for anybody that has power. That's amazing. We just don't have internet. Yeah. Makes life a little hard. Yeah, I'm glad to have power.

And I'm okay not having internet. Because I'd rather have power and no internet than internet and no power. Because we wouldn't be over here using internet. So of the two, we're, we're, the right way because we get hot water. Yeah. Yeah. So you can get hot water without power. If you have a like a, we have an electric hot water heater. Oh, that's different. Yeah. Because if you have a gas stove, you can boil it. Yeah. Yeah, gas stove or like a lot of like older water heaters. They're like propane. Gas. Yes. Mm-hmm. Gas. All right. That's what's what's. Everybody

keeps asking why and you have a generator. Well, we've talked about this on the show. I didn't have a generator. and then I had a guy come over and look at it and give me a quote. And then I got the quote about a day before the storm. So I didn't have the generator. I did pay for one yesterday. A whole home one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know how much a whole home one is?

Yes. I mean, I don't know for this. I just don't know. It's a lot of power. Is this the number? That's what I had to pay. Oh, yeah. That sounds right.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because it's the, you see where the comma is? Yes, I do. What I'm saying is I know what it would, because at my last house, I got a quote and it was, I know where it was. And I just picture like three of those houses sandwich together.

I can't believe it. They, and so like a small generator, you put gas in it. This they put into your gas line. Oh, never ends. So there's never putting in it. And it just pouring. Yeah. Oh, that's, that's smart.

Because my boyfriend has a small generator. He's not able to be at his house either, but he has a small generator that he keeps running for like his fridge. and then he has some radon detector, something that's in his basement that has to be, the levels have to be measured because it's bad. And so he keeps having to go over there

to fill it up with gas like multiple times a day. He's over there drinking. That's where he gets his little socks. I got to go fill this back up with gas. I'll be back in a little bit. You hear some clink. Clink, clink.

No, trust me. I ain't messing with that kind of action. Thank you guys. We'll see tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
