127: "CKSAD"

0:17 Hello, my queen. You gave up caffeine. Now you look like you're 18. Did you think of that one today? That's not a Chad GPT. That is an Adam Curry original. Wow. Yes, you have given up caffeine. You've given up decaf. I've given up joy. No joy for you. It's amazing. I never thought that I would see the day that you would not drink any coffee. I know and I do miss it. Wait. Oh, cheers.

0:58 Ready? One, two, three. Wow, your glass sounds good. Thanks. Let me see what I... Oh, this is heavy. This is heavy. Let me try this. I need to smell it. Oh, is it not good? I'm Yeah, this is the Schaefer 2019 Napa Valley 1.5, whatever that means. It's a cabernet. It's a cab. It's smoky. Oh my gosh, 15.3% alcohol.

1:39 Oh, looks like I'll be getting lucky later. This wine expresses the classic aromas and flavors of Stag's Leap District. Oh, Stag's Leap. Are you familiar with Stag's Leap? Yes, I am. I actually went to that vineyard in Napa Valley. Is there anything on the label on the back and who it came from? Oh no, there's nothing. I was surprised. I'm like... Yeah, usually a market. I know. Our collection is dwindling. I know. I noticed. And I don't even drink. You're drinking it all. That's not true. We've had guests over and the guests are very interested in drinking our wine.

2:22 Yes. Well, because we have the good stuff. But yes, going back to... I have temporarily... I'm always doing something, of course, but I have temporarily given up all sugar. And joy. And joy. And you know what? And sugar. Do you realize how disciplined I am? I am so disciplined. Today, we got two boxes of chocolate. We got chocolate last week. We got two boxes of chocolate, which is toffee. Thank you from Little Johns in California. One box is two layers of toffee. And then other box is two layers, one milk chocolate, one dark chocolate of turtles. My favorite. Is that really your favorite? Turtles is your... Well, I like it all.

3:02 I would eat it all. You'll eat anything. I mean, I've had M&Ms in our little pantry closet and I've gone like, oh, I think I'll have an M&M. What? And you'll be like, uh, yeah, I ate them all. Like a whole bag, a huge bag of M&Ms. I am so disciplined. You are. And I am in the middle of a 24 hour fast. I am... Hungry. 11 and a half hours in. I'm 11. I've got... Are you hungry? I got 12 and a half hours to go. Do you have clarity? No. No. I'm thinking about chocolate. No. Actually, you know what the worst time is right now? Yeah. It's when I'm sitting down, you just made me dinner. You made me a wonderful dinner.

3:43 You made me Mega Choli. Mega Choli. Which is Master Choli Plus. Yes. Like Big ZD. Yeah. And then, you know, and I'll have a glass of wine. I have my little bowl there and you'll sit down to me and you'll pray with me. You'll pray over the meal that you're not eating. That must be so hard. And I appreciate you sitting there with your lemon water. And I drink hot lemon water with salt. Oh man. It's crazy. I've learned so much about fasting and there's so many benefits to it. And the hardest part though is dinner time. Once I'm past dinner time, I'm okay. When I go to bed, I'm okay. Even when I wake up, I'm okay. But this morning you had like a hungry man meal. Because you have to feast. You have to feast.

4:23 I had four boiled eggs and eight ounces of bavette. That's a ton of food. For you. And then onions and fermented stuff. I sautéed some onions. And all kinds of things on your plate. And I'm just like, I'll just have a little scrambled eggs. I don't need all that. That was my only meal for 24 hours. But do you have clarity? Do you feel like, no. The clarity kicks in when you're doing about 72 hour fast, which is three days of no food. And they say it gets easier. I mean, I've been listening to this book online. I've been reading about it. There's a lot of benefits. The autophagy is called where basically your cells get cleaned up in your body.

5:07 The autophagy. Wasn't that Star Trek 4, the autophagy? Yes, it was. But you know what? The inflammation in my shoulder is gone. There are so many benefits that I've had from taking the sugar out of my diet. And I'm so disciplined. I can sit there and look at those chocolates and watch you eat a chocolate. I don't give into it. I just don't. I make my mind up. Yeah. And I've been walking, walking, walking. I'm up to 22 and a half pounds now with my vest. I mean, somehow I think I should feel guilty. Yeah, because all you do is sit around. No, I walk three times a day. This keeps me alive. Around the blog? Yeah. Well, sometimes it's a good walk.

5:47 You probably get a mile and a half in a day. If Phoebe's got fire, then we walk a little faster than normal. Yeah. In the morning, she's kind of like, man, she's been loving the bull and the horse almost every morning. What's his name? Benny the Bull. Sammy. Oh, Sammy the Bull. Is that his real name? No, of course not. You know, Sammy the Bull from the gangster in New York. Sammy the Bull Gravano. So Sammy the Bull. Earmark 636. That's his ear tag. And he'll be laying there and Phoebe will go up and they'll touch noses and then he'll like start moving his rear leg like a dog does when you pet him. You know, he's like. Just by the touch of noses? Yeah, he likes it. Yeah. And then the horse comes over, turns around, and then Phoebe sniffs her tail.

6:30 It's a whole thing. It's a whole ritual. Yeah. It's almost every morning. I guess I'll see it. I'll experience it when you go to Amsterdam. Yeah. When do I go? Mid-April. About a month. But you're going to go. Aren't you leaving next week? I'm leaving Sunday. I'm leaving Sunday to go. This Sunday? Yes. Oh, baby. You'll be gone for five days. And then you come back, you turn around, you leave again? Next week. The following week. Yeah. That's coming back and turn around, leaving again. Party at my place. Woo! And then I turn around and leave again. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. You're not sorry. You have no look of sorrow at all on your face. You'll be fine. But I know it's going to happen. You're going to come home and be like, oh, I'm so tired. I wish I didn't have so much to do.

7:11 And then let me guess. We have a whole bunch of dinners lined up after that? We have a few things lined up. Yes. But no, I'm going to Chicago on Sunday to see my mom, spend time with my mom. And I'll be there. I fly home on Thursday. So I'll be gone five days. I get to see my daughter Ellen, which I'm really happy about. And then when I get back the following Thursday, I think the following Thursday, I go to Florida to see my friend Teresa. And you know what I do today? Taxes. I know. I so appreciate you doing that. All day. I so appreciate you doing that. It's actually kind of like last year, I pray, say, Holy Spirit, make the numbers all work.

7:52 And almost everything worked except some connection to the bank didn't work. So I had to enter like three months manually, which was kind of a pain. Yeah. But ultimately, I'm OK. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know how it used to be with with tax day. I would really be freaking out. I would be incredibly unhappy. You wouldn't freak out, but you weren't happy about it. And it took you a long time. Took me a lot longer. Yeah. The system's kind of automated now. It's remembered stuff. And we don't spend much. No, I mean, not a lot of different. No. In fact, I'll see like five hundred dollars, K and C cattle. Yeah. And then I'll be like six, eight weeks later, K and C cattle. We save money.

8:33 Oh, my gosh. We don't really go out to eat that much either, because I would much rather eat our own food. And and when we go to I get little things I don't buy. I don't do a big grocery. So bad now that we go to so, so infrequently that we're actually out of bags for me to pick up Phoebe's poop with. Those are my go to poop bags and we're out of them almost. I brought some home today. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Just for you. Yeah. Yeah. So you want to talk about our little day? Yeah, it was nice. Go ahead. Who planned it? What do you want? What do you want?

9:16 So you haven't planned a date in what I've been trying. The last date we went, I think, was Pizza Hut. I've been trying. You don't eat. You know, you're fasting. We went out. I ate. Didn't I eat? Yeah, that was during the day. It was a day. Yeah. Yeah. Why are you doing this to me? You know, there's a lot of women who would say that Curry's a good husband. I'll take him. Go find something in Chicago, Indiana. Go find something. Find something better, especially when I have my my wig on, which we'll talk about. That's the art of his hair. No, I'm not. That's the art of the tease. We went shopping, which means it was great.

9:58 We had one specific store we wanted to go to. And on the way like, and we go to this store and I got to return this. I go to that one and I go to this one. I got to go that one. Do you want to do anything? Do you need anything? No. OK. And we got to hurry because at 1230, we have lunch for 115. We have lunch reservations. So it was great. Come on. I'm a good shopper. I walk along. I carried the bags. I give you input. Yeah. I say I bought a pair of new pair of tennis shoes and you go, yeah, get those because I don't like those club hoppers. I go, what? I don't think I said it just like that. Hopper. I did call them Claude Hopper said they look better than the Claude Hoppers you're wearing right now. I'm like, well, yeah, they were style.

10:39 Oh, right. I know the jeans that that look like you'd fit three legs in each leg that are too short. Yeah, that's that's it's the style. It is the style. Amazing. People have lost their ever loving mind. What happened? Just like normal pants, normal length, normal shoes. It's called style, baby. Come on. It's it's called a sigh up, OK? They trick women into believing that you have to wear this. So we got to buy more clothes. Yeah, I get it. Exactly. That's it. So anyway, so I plan this day date because I had to go. I had to go pick up Annette's birthday present and I had which I helped pick up. You did. And was I right the first time you were. Yes. Yes. I said, could you put your put your put your.

11:20 And you looked around five more things like, oh, you think I'll take this? That's what I just said. So but yes, it morphed into a little bit more because I wanted to go pick something up and I needed to return something. You already you already knew that was happening when we were on our way. That's what I was like. Let's leave on the dot at 10 o 'clock, of which you were a late by five minutes. Why? You had to get your teeth. Exactly. I'm sorry. Yeah. It adds as at least 10 minutes on to everything. Yeah. Anyway, I waited. I didn't say. I don't know why you stay with me. It's amazing. I didn't say a word. I was like, here's the gun. Get rid of me, Dave.

12:01 No, I love you. Oh, OK. Yeah, because I drive. I drive. I could have drove. So anyway, so so I go to I had purchased Adam a beautiful David Yerman bracelet with the beads and it's got a sterling silver cross on it. And I got it for him for Christmas to you. It was it was always a little bit big. It was always a little bit big. So I said, hey, since we're here, let's go into David Yerman and let's let's see if we can get this sized. And he was like, OK, so we go in there and and the girls look, I go, can you size this? And she said, yeah. And and I said, well, I said, you can just take off a few of the links in the beads and you go, well, I'm missing a bead.

12:46 I go, what? Like it's they're glass beads. And I'm like, how how are you missing a bead? You go, I broke one of I crushed one of them. I go, what? You never told me. And I go, this is the this is the kicker. I go, how did that happen? My vape fell on it. So why didn't you tell me, Adam Curry? Well, what am I going to what good would it do? It was just one bead. It doesn't matter. It was my Christmas gift to you. Well, there's your reason for me not telling you. So I lay down my watch and I lay down my I take off my bracelet every night and I put my vape down next to it and it fell over and I just picked it up.

13:28 And I'm like, what are these little pieces of black here? What is this? And I'm like, oh, oh, yes. Crushed the bead. The bane of my existence. But, you know, it was going to take them eight weeks. Oh, I know. And five months or something to shorten it. And so I know. So you were very kind. You bought me a new one, which is I love you know, I love my bracelet. I know. I know. So we just got you a new one. And then she polished your ring. Oh, yeah. She knew all my jewelry. So I love you. Love your ring here. I love that ring there. Blah, blah, blah. I was like, wow. Yeah. You really know. She says, no, I sized you up when you walked in like, uh-huh. But you were you kept a secret. I kept a secret. You didn't tell me that. I completely forgot about it.

14:09 It happened at night. You're in bed because, you know, involved with the vape. That's why. Well, that that didn't help. But my only job at night, you're already in your bed. You've got your frownie on. Oh, did I give something away? You can go ahead and talk about it. I don't care. Frownie on, which is like this huge bandaid, which makes you look like Janie Lane from Warrant. It's called frownies. OK, you got your frownies on and you got your eye mask on. My only job is to come in and say, darling, would you like some chapstick? That's because I get ready. It doesn't take me long to get ready for bed for you. Yeah, because you have to irrigate your teeth. It takes you a little bit. So, yeah, I put my frownies on my forehead, put my mask on and get under the covers.

14:52 I'd never heard of frownies until you started applying. They work like magic. So here's the issue. They're basically like big band-aids. Yes, they're big patches that you put on your forehead that eliminate wrinkles. And the reason I started wearing them. I'm telling you, you look like Janie Lane from Warrant. I look like I have a headband on. Yeah, like, yeah, exactly. So because I lay on my side and smushes my whole face and I get this big indentation in the side of my forehead. But it goes away, doesn't it? It takes like half the day. I'm like, I'm buying these frownies. I've never noticed this. I'll tell you. So they're easy to go on. And then once they dry, it's like peeling them off is like trying to take a sticker off of a glass.

15:36 Oh, no. Yes. But they work. How do I look? You look beautiful. Smooth. You look beautiful no matter what. You know this. You know this. No, I don't know that. How many times do I say it to you? Every day, at least 10 times. Five. Oh, OK. But no, you're always very, very complimentary. You're like, you look really sharp. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I noticed what you look at. And then when you don't say anything, I know you don't. You don't like it. Those pants with those clod hoppers. Like I even saw you had different color lipstick on the other day. Yeah, it looked good. You didn't like it, though. Did you like it? I like that color lipstick.

16:18 It was I have to get used to it. It was just a little darker, but I noticed it in church. You did. You did. You did. Yeah, you did. So OK. So after this day date. Yeah. I gave you a directive. What was it? Really? Oh, man. Are you kidding? This goes back to Saturday. I have numbers in my head. What was the directive? You going to help me? You going to give me a clue? It has something to do with the day we got married. Oh, yeah, of course. Jeez. You forgot. No, I didn't forget. I have 18 reminders in my calendar.

16:58 Oh, you do? Yes. Yes. Something nice and special for our anniversary doesn't have to be in Fredericksburg. Right. Yes. I heard you. Yes. OK. Yeah. Keep your passport ready. Oh, we can't do that because we're going to Nashville the following week. But, you know, on the 23rd, it will be 10 years since that that lovely day of the meeting when you and I first met. Is that so? The 23rd of March? Sunday. Let me just check because I have that in my calendar, too. Let me just see. 23rd. Yes. March 23rd. You know what my calendar says? First talk, Tina.

17:39 First talk, Tina. That's that's what's in my calendar. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK. So there you go. So I'm excited to see what you're going to kind of conjure up. Luckily, I'll be drinking by then. Luckily, I have some time to figure this one out. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I have some ideas. Oh, there's no pressure, though, or anything. Man. Oh, man. Oh, man. It's like you just make me look like a horrible husband. You're not. You're a lovely husband. You did the taxes today. Oh, see, that's what I mean. Drive me, shop with me, do the taxes. You know, I'm just kidding. You know, I'm just kidding you. Aren't you, though? I am. There's always some kind of truth in humor.

18:19 Oh, please. You told me this yourself. We always you know what I love the most is when we're laying in bed and we just start laughing, like that's almost every night. Yeah. I just I love that. I love that. Yeah. You always make funny, funny jokes about me. Well, it's so easy. Yeah. So, gosh. Yeah. My town might almost burnt down. Yeah. I saw the newsletter. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I think it was closer than 22 miles. I think it was closer than 20. I think so. I think it was more like 10 plus. It wasn't 20 miles away if the wind was going south. Well, let's just say we were coming home from shopping on Saturday.

19:01 And now did you read that you read? Well, it's actually started Friday. No, no, no. Friday. You're sitting here, you're in the kitchen and you say, oh, wow, there's smoke at Laura Logan's place. Oh, yes. And I'm like, oh, no, because that's right down the road. That's literally down the street from us. I could walk to her house. I said, hold on a second. And that's all I heard. I grabbed the fire extinguisher. Like, I don't know if that would do. I mean, it would help some somewhat, I guess. And I just throw on my boots. I drive with a scoot, scoot. And there's her husband, Joe. And he's like, no, we already got to sweating.

19:41 Like, no, it's all taken. I see the hoses rolled out. You sure you don't have everything's out here? Because, man, I know that these fires, especially because we had 40 mile an hour winds gusting. And it was it's so dry here. Completely dry. So everything's a tender. That was kind of like just a little preparedness lesson. And as we're coming home Saturday, like, oh, man, there's a huge fire. And as we're driving up eighty seven, I think it is. It's eighty seven. Yeah. But let me go back. So so I want to say when that happened with Joe and we had the blood diamond dealers over for dinner on Friday night, I said to them, I go, if he would have burnt my house down, I would have got I would have shot him.

20:22 Now, that's my Christian wife right there. There's my son's thirty one wife at work. Of course, I was kidding. But of course, I would never do that. But but the magnitude of how what could have happened out of their carelessness. Yeah, I oh, oh, my gosh, I would have been I would have been fit to be tied. Well, anyway, so then we're driving back and we see the smoke. Yes. And it's huge. Well, I'm getting text messages from all my prayer warrior. We don't know how far away it is right this point. We just like we don't know where the wind is blowing. It's like it's already nine hundred acres and just, you know, your phone is blowing up. I got nothing. No one cares about me. There's a fire. I get a tweet.

21:02 I mean, you OK? That's all I get. But yeah, that was kind of that was kind of scary. And we got home, we could see there was far away. And by then we knew that the wind was blowing it eastward. But there were lots of friends of ours who were evacuating their homes. They had to leave their homes. The sheriff came and knocked on their doors and said, you're going to have to evacuate. And they didn't know. They didn't know. So it was just we were so many people were praying. We stopped at Pastor Jimmy and Annette's house on the way back from shopping. And we were just sitting there and we all just stopped and prayed and we all prayed for for God's mighty hand to just divert the fire, take the fire out.

21:43 And I think damage to homes was minimal. Was it? I don't I don't know. I think there are some people who lost their home. I know. But it was minimal compared to what it could have been as it expanded 10,000. It was almost 10,000 acres. Yeah. Yeah. And finally, it's like 95 percent contained. But I mean, I went and bought five cases of water and went and dropped it off at the fire station. People came and brought food or gift cards for food. And because we I mean, what would we do if we didn't have them? You know, and we're kind of right in the in the flight line for the helicopter, the buckets and the tanker planes. And God bless those guys, man. You need to shake that rain stick on the show.

22:24 You know, the rain stick is I'm going to pray for rain. I find that to be much more effective. Well, maybe God will hear the chimes. OK, I know he hears. He hears everything. We definitely need. Right. But thank you to everybody who reached out. I mean, I got a lot of messages either through Instagram, people texting me through. So people hear Fredericksburg like, holy crap, isn't that where Adam and Tina live? Yeah. Eventually, I got some messages. Seriously, if the wind was going the other direction. Oh, no, it would have burnt down all of that. Fredericksburg easily would have easily because we're such a tinderbox. It would I mean, granted, I'm sure that there would have been a very concerted effort to. Not easy. Yeah, not easy.

23:05 So, yeah. Yes. We're very grateful that the damage seems to be reasonably minimal. Yes. Certainly for no human lives lost that I know of. Yeah. I think most of the livestock got out OK. I think when you get into that mode, I can't even imagine getting into that mode of panic. And what do you grab? I mean, we've talked about this on the show. We've talked about it, but I'm sure when you're in the midst of it, you're just thinking, oh, I'd be like my microphone, my chargers, my wine. You get the wine bottle. You're back. Oh, no, you're back up your computer. You totally need your computer. I just grabbed the laptop. Yeah. None of it. Yeah.

23:45 None of it's important. No, there's not a single thing. The dog, the dog. She needs dog food. Yeah, she does. Yeah. So. And well, and then, of course, we have this party coming up on Saturday. Yes. This 80s party, which we now it was some some new people at church invited us. Yes. And they're actually kind of 80s kids, I think. Yes. Well, I'm an 80s kid, too. I was 18 in 1980. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know that the Gen X is now officially 50? I think Gen X is now turning 50. Oh, really? So we're we're right on the cusp. We're right on the cusp. You're a boomer.

24:25 Well, no, I'm not. We September 1964. But it doesn't matter because now people just say they just tweet to me. OK, boomer. It's like I am. I don't have to tell you how many times I'm the face in the hair of Generation X, but OK, whatever. So we were invited and it was like 80s party. I was like, oh, it's like it's like people sometimes think, oh, I have a great idea. Let's go on an 80s cruise. I'm like, yeah, no, well, not go this. Well, the spasmatics. Yes, that is. That's the bonus. The spasmatics played at the bandana ball for Ronald McDonald. That's right. I think two years. Yeah. Many, many years before I even joined.

25:07 And they're so fun. It's all 80s music. And so the friends that we're going with and Pastor Jimmy and Annette are going to, they wanted to dress up. So I'm like, OK, I'm down. Like, when do we ever do this? We never do this. And Halloween, we turn the lights off. I know we hide inside. Nobody's home. We've never been to Halloween party. We've never been to like a big New Year's Eve party. I mean, so I was like, this will be fun. Which, by the way, I don't think either you or I really feel like going to know if there was a classy like, you know, dress up tuxedo, beautiful New Year's Eve party.

25:48 Yeah. But usually it's like it's 10 o'clock. Happy New Year. Let's go to bed. But so I was like, OK, what am I going to wear? And I was thinking, thinking, thinking. And I decided and I don't know if we talked about this in the last show. I think so. But it's worth repeating because it's about me. Of course. Go for it. See how much I love you. So I got I took one of Adam's MTV headshots and I had it put on an oversized T-shirt with the word swoon over the top of it. So and then I'm going to try. I'm considering cutting out the neck so that it comes off of my shoulder, but I don't want to mess it up. And then I bought the 80s little accessories on Amazon for eight bucks, like the little mesh gloves, the cross earrings, the Madonna headband.

26:35 Yeah. And so then Annette, we after the class last week, we were talking about and I'm like, you guys need to come. She's like, OK, I'm going to come. So she wanted the exact same T-shirt that I have. Of course. So we're going to be twins. Yes. What? She has this Adam Curry swoon T-shirt. Yes. She has one, too. Yeah. It's my posse. It's your posse. Yeah. And so then then she broke the news to Pastor Jimmy. He was like, no. Broke the news that you're wearing a wig. So why don't you talk about your wig? Well, the first wig that came in, I don't know what that was. That was like a dead animal that they had plastified. It didn't look anything like the picture. It didn't even look like anyone's hair. It just looked like like a mop thrown on top of my head.

27:18 I'm like, this is not going to work. And in the picture, it looked kind of like a George Michael ish kind of we can probably make that work. Well, no, that was fake news. That thing was no good. You can't touch it with the curling iron because it'll catch fire. Yeah. Fourteen dollars. By the way, we got the refund. OK, good. Yeah. We sent it back to Amazon. I love you for that. I'd be like, I throw that thing in my closet like maybe one day you go to the UPS store, you return it and you get your refund. That's right. I love that. I'm not going to just throw it away. So you ordered two more. And one of them is like Tina Turner on steroids. It reminds me of that medium, Teresa Caputo.

28:00 Do you remember Teresa? Yeah, Teresa Caputo. She's from New Jersey. Look her up. They call her the I don't know. She talks. She says she talks to dead people. I don't know. Teresa Caputo. Teresa Caputo. I've never heard of this lady. Hold on a second. Let me take a look. She's some medium. Oh, doesn't that wig look like her hair? Her hair is a little more styled. But yeah, that height. Yeah, totally. So you put that on and I'm like, oh, dude, you're seven feet tall with that wig on your head. But then you had another one and it's doable. It's kind of doable. We can style it to make it look good enough. I got my leather jacket, you know, put that on. Unfortunately, I don't have my studded belt. Did you order me a studded belt?

28:40 I did not. No. I'm going to wear my bolo tie with my white shirt. You got to find your bolo tie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We got to find it. I think it's in the humidor. Oh, that's yeah. Yeah. OK. Along with some very, very old stale cigars. Yeah. Humidor is a big word. And I think your gold coins are in there, too. Yes. Go ahead. Tell everybody where the treasures are. If you break into our house, go straight for the two for the for the humidor. You can get the million dollar bolo tie and the gold coins. You can find the humidor. Yeah. So, yeah. So we're going to be all decked out. So so Jim. So Pastor Jimmy bought he bought and that got him kind of this mullet wig.

29:23 And it was so bad. I mean, it almost looks awesome. It was pretty bad. It almost looks as bad as the wig that you're going to wear. Yeah. He got another one. He's got like a Ramones. Now he's got really long. Yes. Really long hair like Ramones. And he was posing with his guitar, which, by the way, that picture should kind of be posted. Oh, it kind of needs to go viral. It takes 30 years off of him. He's got a rep. He's got a reputation to protect. He can't be putting that out there. All right. Well, there will be pictures taken of us at the party. I'm very much. And it's an early party. Yeah. It starts at like seven. Well, the doors open at six and then it starts at seven.

30:04 And we'll probably be on the road by nine because it's both a school night for both both of you guys. Oh, it's Saturday night. Yeah. Saturday night. Yeah. That's too funny. So it'll be it'll be fun. Oh, man. I love that. I love that. Yeah. Yeah. And then I went over to Patriot Academy this week. Yes. Which was a lot of fun because I. Oh, did you. Oh, we talked about you being on Flashpoint last week. Yes. Yes. And but I'd also heard Rick Green on a couple of things. I'm like and I knew that he is amazing. He has any sound at all over there. I'm like, dude, should I come by and just try and adjust your sound a little bit?

30:44 And so I went into the tavern. Oh, it's quite a cool. I've never been in that in that other building. We've only been into into the big the big building where they have the the replica of the house. And so this is where all the offices are. And it's I mean, it's cool. It's the first building when you pull in. Yeah, it's it's a pretty impressive campus. And it's not even kids. I love his kids. Yes. They're all like, hi, Mr. Curry, how are you doing? And they're always interested and they know what's going on and they're polite. And can I get you anything? And they just they how come our kids are. I don't know. I'm asking the same question. We didn't do that.

31:25 My girls, all of our girls are very, very polite and very personable. Yeah. But they work with their parents. So, you know, they're editing stuff and they're, you know, they're working on things and they're just always doing stuff at the Patriot Academy. And I said, let's go take a look at your setup. Well, he basically had the microphone stuck into the computer. It was like nothing else. And I brought along the big bottom and all kinds of effects and stuff. And I said that really for a whole bunch of reasons that wasn't going to work, although I was happy because like something was actually leaving my closet. Oh, hey, I even said, hey, look, Tina's going to love to leave it with him. No, I brought it back. Of course, it's back in the closet.

32:06 Open those doors. No, no, no, no. You might hurt yourself. Stuff is stacked in there. Don't I'll never find anything. This is so funny. I'm going to take a shortcut here. So I was laying in bed and I'm like, oh, my gosh, my feet are so cold. They're so cold. I said, could you grab me a pair of socks? And you go in my drawer. You're like, oh, my gosh, look at all this stuff in here. You got bags in here. You got this. And I'm like, you've never been in my. No, no, I've never been in any of your drawers. Oh, no. What am I going to look for there? But when I saw the socks opened a few other, I'm like, this is organized. You got stuff from little baggies.

32:46 You got baskets with bags in the bag. I got dark socks and white socks. Oh, yeah. I just like socks. There's your sock drawer. Wait a minute. I put the socks in there. You don't put the socks in there. No, I know. You could at least. What? Divide them into color. There's a few in there. There's some random socks that have no partner. There's a couple of things going on. I kind of save them. They'll show up. They'll come back home. Anyway, so going back to. Hey, yeah, we were in bed and you said my feet are cold and I said, shall I go get you? I know I got out of bed to go get you. You're amazing.

33:26 It was a great adventure. I can't. I cannot. Look at this. I can't. I know. You're like, what is this? Everything's color coordinated. It goes from dark to light. All the shoes have light to dark. Oh, all the shoes have their own little spot by color with an outline. So just like in it, like a tool, like a tool board. No, almost anyway. Anyway, back to Rick Green. So they bring out his old mixer, which is a huge beast, which is actually a really good one. And I get it all set up and rock and roll. And he says, hey, let's do it. Let's do an interview for the tavern. And so we talked for about an hour and it was really nice.

34:10 I like that. I do, too. They're lovely, lovely. All right. I'm going to go off. I got to go to Bastrop. It's three o'clock. I got to go to Bastrop. He's always off doing something. He's always running a gun in that guy. I'm actually going. I'm actually meeting with him and his wife and Debbie next Friday about their next event. So I'm going to just offer up my your expertise, my expertise and your experience. Yes. Yes. So and I think, you know, besides lots of Godcaster meetings and and some breakthroughs there, you know, we have another we have a follow up on Friday morning. I mean, things are moving. No, they're moving in and shaking. They are. They are moving. Yes. So I'm just super excited.

34:50 Yes. Yes. Yes. It's it's a lot, though. I feel like sometimes I'm like busy. I'm busy. You are busy. Yeah. Am I still fun to be around? Yeah. Most times. No, you are. You are the most balanced person I know. You have one mood positive. Pretty much. Like I said, your glass is always filled with champagne. It's not half empty. It's not half full. It's always filled with champagne. And we've been watching House of David, which has been nice, although and and White Lotus. Yes. It's also stressful for me. I mean, I am literally watching like, ah, because instead of episode cliffhanger, it's just like tension, tension, tension, tension, tension.

35:34 It's just and then after the programs are done, you're not even you're still tense because you're like, I don't understand why there's only one episode a week. This is not fair. We need to be able to binge on all of it. I have to wait now. I don't understand it. And I'm like, Adam, they want to keep coming back. And you're like, it's going to fail. They're making a mistake. I think they're making a mistake. I think they are. They need to release more than one episode at a time. That's just me. It's different. It used to be different on Netflix and Hulu. You could watch at least a couple episodes or the whole series at your own pace because, you know, then you could say, hey, should we watch another one? Yeah. Because everything else would be like, hey, should we watch another one? OK, how long will it be?

36:14 It'll be done at 10.05. I know because there are sometimes when we're watching something like very lighthearted and it's nine o'clock, you're like, OK, let's watch House of David. And I said, that is a little too stressful, that close to bedtime. I can't. Right. So I'm like, OK, because there's we we have to wait for another House of David, have to wait for another White Blossom, Lotus, whatever it is. What else are we watching? Well, and so last night and like and you're just like you're you've given up. You're like looking at Instagram, doom scrolling. I'm trying to find something and I find Marky Mark. Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. And that was a fun movie. Yes, it was so unrealistic. But yes, it was a lot of fun. Just because the family plan was nice.

36:56 He was a nice family man. It turns out he used to be an assassin. Yes, that was cool. Yeah. Come on. It was cool. They were in Vegas. They were like beating the crap out of him and he'd be still alive. Like he's Marky Mark. Come on, man. He's Marky Mark. He can do anything. He's got the hallow up in his back pocket. Yes. What could go wrong with him? Everything's good. Him and Jonathan Rumi and Gwen Stefani. Yeah. Also, excuse me, all touting. Tucker's also promoting the hallow. I think they're actually advertising on his show. Is that primarily a Catholic app? I think so. Okay. I think so. Yeah. But you know, it's still scripture. Yeah. So, you know, my sister is getting more into it too. I know. I love that. That's awesome. I love that.

37:37 So what is what is she? Is she reading something? Is she reading devotional? Yes. Yeah. She's doing something. Yeah. She's yeah. But what? I don't know. But she said told me that she's getting more and more into it. And she said she was going to go visit a church. And I said, do some church shopping because it takes a while to kind of figure out which one feels like home for you. Yeah. So church shopping. And I just love I mean, we talk about this all the time, but I love our church so much. I mean, it's great that our best friends are Jimmy and Annette, Pastor Jimmy and Annette. I love that. But I mean, when we walk in there, it is the community is just amazing. I love them all. Well, this is all the people who start texting like, how are you doing? Everyone? Okay. Does anyone need anything? I mean, we just lift up, lift up.

38:19 Connection is protection. We're holding their arms up like Moses' arms were held up. Yeah, exactly. Yes. So I know. I did get an interesting piece of news from our listener in Finland. Oh, yes. He this is an article from Jelle. It's a Finnish publication. Yeah. How to avoid norovirus. Oh, wash your hands. Yeah. And don't go on cruises. Keep the lid down. Oh, I thought that was so cool. Yeah. Keeping the lid down will help you avoid norovirus. Also, don't bite your nails.

39:00 Oh, gosh. I was at Annette's house today. We were just hanging out all day today. I know. Well, I was doing what was I doing? Oh, that's right. And how was it hanging out all day? It was great. Okay. We did online shopping. I go to her house and go, I came to your house. I spent money. Like what? What did you buy? I bought two pairs of sandals. Okay. But so she was showing me her because they're having housework remodeling done in their home. And so we went into her guest bathroom and the lid was up. She looked at me. She goes, they don't put the lid down. She blamed it on the workers right away. Oh, no.

39:40 Annette is no. Pastor Jimmy and Annette are very fastidious about that. KTLD. That's why we get along so well because they're as fastidious as we are. Very good. Although Pastor Jimmy's office is a little more organized than this studio. But other than that, I'm kidding. No, it was fun to hang out with her. I've been hanging out with her a lot. We went to, she's getting a hat made from Brandy. So I got to hang out with her then. And then we went, what else did we do? Oh, we went to lunch and yeah, it's been fun. And then I'm going to Nashville with them. That's what you do as a woman retired from corporate life. Well, it doesn't seem like I'm retired. Retired from corporate life.

40:21 Right. Just corporate life. Yeah. That's what you do. I'm busy. So we're planning the next big concert on Good Friday. Yeah. I'm not even going to be here. I'm really bummed. I'm like, I got to emcee this. You're going to emcee it? You can do it. Yeah. You're really good at it. Yeah. Yeah. Just put the Adam Curry wig on. Grab the leather jacket. You'll be good to go. Oh, I'll do that. I will do that. But no, speaking about our church, yeah, I'm volunteering again tomorrow at the church. I'm coming in and helping out. And yeah, I love our church. I love everything about our life right now. Even the taxes were okay. Yeah. I gave to God what belongs to God and to Cesar what belongs to Cesar.

41:02 Yeah. I know you said that at dinner. There was something else. Have you noticed, I think we talked about this, number 624 to 26 has popped up at least 10 times this week for me. And for you as well, I think. My favorite. I think Pastor Jimmy talked about it. I think it was on the You version. Do you have it in front of you? I do. And this is what my grandmother, after the eldest grandchild would read Psalm 121, the going away prayer, I lift up my eyes into the hills. And I never knew this because they would all say, the Lord bless his hills. I'd just be standing there like, I don't know what everyone's saying. I'd just move my lips.

41:44 But they would be saying, the Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace. Yes. I love that. I love that. There's a song too. Cody Karnes and Kerry Jobe. Is it Cody Karnes? And Kerry Jobe, I believe, sing the, it's called The Blessing. And it's a beautiful song. Beautiful. Let me see. I think I, is that the one? Yes. You're going to play, oh. Yes. Yeah, that's it. It's on hellofred.fm in case you didn't know. Yes, I know. I've been listening.

42:25 You've been listening to Hello Fred? Well, when I can. Okay. There's an app coming, an app that will work in your car. And you just plug your phone in and it'll pop up and you get a whole screen filled with Hello Fred. It's coming. It's coming. Okay. That's right. All part of your God caster experience. Yes. Yes. Speaking of God sees. God sees? I mean, God S. Oh, God's, God's, God's, God's shot. That's what I was, I was, this, this is a very bad transition I'm making here. Okay.

43:11 So I'm doing this wonderful devotional with Brandy. And I think this, I think this is where this came from. I'm not sure. Or maybe it was with Karen. I'm doing two devotionals. You're doing five. Well, I do. Okay. I do one with Karen, one with Brandy. I do the you version. I do the one with you. I just finished up the book of Esther. Did you guys finish Revelation? Not yet. We have about four more weeks. And then I just, I just did a five day devotional on the book of Esther. Okay. Yeah. And then yeah. And then Bible study. Yes. I'm like, I'm in it. You are in it. Yes. So this was Ephesians chapter two, verse 10, for we are God's handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good work, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

44:03 And I think about that, you know, I think about with Harvest Project Texas, I think about what you're doing with God caster. I think about writing the newsletter for the church. I think about serving on the women's ministry, you going to the men's breakfast, you mentoring Parker, all of that. And I loved what this devotional said. It said, in Christ, your life should be a poetic statement of God's glory. Isn't that great? Yeah. I love that. The Master Artesian designs each of our lives to join and interlock to create a big picture, a living giant tapestry woven of people.

44:45 So think about our spiritual family. This is where God makes all things work together for good. Yes. And it says, sometimes from where you're standing, you might not be able to see where you fit. But if you take a step back and look at it from his perspective, you can see the overall masterpiece, the perfect workmanship of God. Zoom out is what we say. Zoom out. Isn't that great? And like, Oh, I could just, I could just see, I see it all now. And if you see how big it is and how connected and how so many people are connected. I mean, just, there's a lot of connections. It all starts to fit together. And actually email helps me see that sometimes when I see people coming in, like this is one guy said, yeah, I want to help you with your app.

45:31 And then, you know, I'm looking at his website and I'm like, Oh, you're a believer. Oh yeah. Yeah. He didn't mention that. You know, like all these things just kind of fit together. And the tapestry keeps growing because now my sister is being sewn into the tapestry. I love it. I just love it. Soon the whole state of Indiana. Let's hope so. We got to hear from those cocksuckers now. Now it's time to hear from the cocksuckers.

46:14 I will point out that we were number three on the top episodes of the week on the fountain app this week. Yes. And living up in a dump. Downward was number one. Yes. Number one on the charts.

Who was your first celebrity crush? Oh, okay. Olivia Newton-John as Sandy in Greece. Really? I remember you telling me that one time. Yes, I think so. Did you like her as the good girl or the girl with the black leather?

56:38 You know, I kind of like the both sides of it. But I mean, Sandra Dee, you know. Was that her name? No, she was Sandy. I mean, I think I'm a romantic. You are. So the whole thing about between, what was her name? John Travolta. What was his name? Uh, not Danny. I don't know. And he's singing, stranded at the driving, feeling like a fool. What will they say?

I had his poster. Oh, I loved it. I loved him. He was on my wall and I was just like, I get tiger beat magazine. And would you, would you kiss your poster? Yes, of course. I never did that. No, definitely. And we talked about this. So it was Donny Osmond. Then I started liking Tony DeFranco because Tony, the DeFrancos kind of, they were like, they were like the, not really.

58:04 They were kind of like the, what's the word I want to use? Like the, the backup of the Osmonds. Like, you know, like, like a D list. Oh, like a, like a cheap Osmonds. Yes. Yeah. Tony DeFranco.
