129: "Raggedy-Andy Pants"

0:08 Curry and the Keeper, April 9th, 2025, Episode 129! Ann! Ann! Ann! Hello, my queen. You travel so far, I'm blessed to see you in between. Oh. Wow, really? That's what I get? A poet, you're not. What? Is that AI? I can barely hear myself. You didn't even test my, uh, there we go. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. He just went right into the show. Because it's late. Because that's, you're like.

0:49 I have to muster, babe. Babe. 830, what am I doing? I'm laying on the couch in your lap, on my head's like by your lap and I'm laying there and we're watching. This is the last, this is the last Wednesday night that this will happen. Yeah, it's just because we just finished our walk. We can go back to 530. Well, guess what? CK Sad is coming in next Wednesday. Cheers me first, babe. Oh, here we go. One, two, three. Oh, you sounded like, at least you have a glass this time. What do you have in your glass? H2O. It's from our well. It's so bad. I have gone back to Argilet, everybody. You have depleted all the wine that.

1:30 Well, no, I haven't. Almost all the wine. But I just got, I'm like, you know, it's nice that people send me wine. I'm just drinking it like table wine. Yeah, and nice wine too. I'm not really appreciating it the way I should. I was getting pretty spoiled, I have to say. But you left some of the, um, a few bottles of the Italian wine we have. No, of course, of course. I'm not going to drink that. Oh, you're drinking Argilet. That's right. Argilet, baby. All the way. All the way. Hello, darling. Hello, baby. So, yeah, CK Sad next Wednesday. And then the Wednesday after that, we have a wedding to go to. On a Wednesday. Yeah, so we can still, is the Wednesday, is the wedding all the way through the evening? Yes, starts at 530. So we'll have to do the show early.

2:10 We can do the show early. Yes. Oh, my goodness. The show interrupts everything. Not really. I mean, it's an hour. Oh, OK. You're like, we could do it in a half hour. No, I know. I said, I said you can do as long as you want to do. Yeah. Yeah. People want you. They don't care about me. Believe me, this show is about you, not about me. Everybody loves your voice. Everybody loves your stories. It's Tina's God shot. I am just the producer. Remember, you are. And I produce and I get you in that seat and I turn it on. I record and I get you to talk. That's what a good producer does. OK. You're not in my ear, though, giving me like prompts.

2:50 Hold on a second. OK, Tina, you can say something really nice to him now. Say something loving to him. I really love that. That's good. OK, go ahead. Yes, keep smiling like that. That's what camera loves you, baby. You have to really master the art of being able to listen to somebody in your ear. You and John were talking about it on the show. Mastering having somebody listen or excuse me, speak to you in your ear and then you turn around and you spit out those words to the person that's sitting across from you or on the air with you. That's only with dumb news models. But where it gets really cool, like I've done lots of live shoots and then, you know, the director will be telling you, OK, we got a minute left. Can you wrap up the guest?

3:31 So while you're talking or while you're listening, but not not really telling you what to say. That's I mean, if you're that bad, then why are you on television at all? Yeah, but there's a lot. I think a lot of the news models today, they are that bad. They're just there because whatever. Yeah, they don't know what to do. Yeah. So you don't need being told what to do. Yeah, but you have talent. You see, you got talent. You got charisma. Yes. And I had the administration spiritual. Yes, we just learned this. You got called out for it, too. That was fantastic. And it was so funny when he called me. I was because I was thinking and that because, well, we covered the different spiritual gifts that people have. Like there's about 10 of them. Yes. Hospitality, administration, leadership helps.

4:13 Mercy helps. I thought it was helps because I volunteer. I over volunteer myself. That is the problem you have. I have a problem with that. Your super spiritual gift is definitely administration. You are you have with a with helps tendency. Yes. You like to you like to jump in. But it's not exactly your spiritual gift. Exactly. But you also have you're just a nice person. That's the problem. I don't know how to say no. That's the problem. Yeah. It's funny because you have no problem saying no. I know so many things. Do you just use up all your nose on me? Is that what it is? You rarely ask me to do something and I say, no, I'm not going to do that.

4:55 I rarely tell you. No, no. You just tell me all this stuff. No, don't do that. Whatever. I'm like, no, we're picking this barstool. Not that one. This is the fabric we want. Yes. Exactly. But yes. So when he when Pastor Brian said, oh, Tina Curry has the administration, the administration, spiritual gift. I was shocked because I was thinking and that and that is way more in it than I am. I mean, I used to be like that. But now that I'm the kind of semi -retired and just a professional, you have. OK, this is lots of smoke here. Boo. Did you call me boo? I called you boo. It's not smoke. It's vape. Vape juice. What did you just you just cracked the mic.

5:36 Oh, I moved it. I moved it. Well, it sounded great. So let's talk about. Let's talk about what you've been doing, where you've been. No, let's before that, let's talk about the morning that I was getting ready to leave. You were praying in the kitchen. I was sound asleep. And what happened? Oh, yes. Yeah. So I got up early. I just woke up early and I had been talking to Pastor Jimmy. I don't know, the night, a day or two before. And he was telling me about because I lent him my or I gave him my hearing aids. He has one ear is a little shot and he has tinnitus, which is the proper way to say it. Most people say tinnitus, but I'm just going to be that guy and say it's tinnitus.

6:16 How do you know that to be sure? I've never heard it say tinnitus. First of all, it's spelled tinnitus. No, there's a U in it, tinnitus. No, there's no U in tinnitus. Isn't it T-I-N-N-I-U? No, no. Hold on. At the end, tinnitus at the end, it's double N. Okay. Every audiologist I've been to has told me it's tinnitus. So I think those people went to school and. Tinnitus. Okay. Tinnitus. Tinnitus. Tinnitus. Okay. All right. You ruined the story. I'm sorry. You ruined the story. Sorry. And so he said that he was praying for healing.

6:58 You know, because these things, no one really knows where it comes from. Some say it's a. I have it. I have a mild form of it. It went away for a while and then now it's. Yeah, and some people say it's a. Loud music. Hereditary thing or loud music. I personally subscribe to somehow it's a piece of your brain that is functioning in a way that creates that doesn't really matter. It's annoying and you want it to go away. And so he was praying for that. And he said, you know, whenever I pray for it, it actually gets louder. So I know that's okay. Way to go enemy. Way to go devil. You're part of tricks. So I didn't tell him, but I was just going to pray for it.

7:41 So I'm praying for his. I'm praying for this is five in the morning. Something like that. I'm praying specifically for his tinnitus. All of a sudden, all the fire alarms go off in the house. And five in the morning. Not the batteries beeping, the full-blown piercing fire alarm. And normally, the system we have will go and it'll say smoke. And it'll tell you which room it's in. Or it'll say carbon monoxide and tell you what room it's in. No, this was just every single one of them went off throughout the whole house. And I'm immediately like, oh, this is nice. Said not only is it going to freak out you, it's going to freak out Phoebe. And so I'm running over towards the bedroom door to hit the off button.

8:25 And you open the door and it just stops. No, I remember. No, it didn't. I walked into the living room and I covered my ears. I had to cover my ears. That's how loud it was. But before I got to the smoke detector, before I could even touch it, it went off. And here was the craziest thing for me. I let Phoebe out. I opened the door. She was still laying in her bed. She was not freaked out at all. She was not affected at all. And we've seen her before when it went off. She went crazy. Well, when the battery goes out and it starts doing that weird chirping, beeping noise, she does not like it. She wasn't affected at all. This has never happened before.

9:06 Sorry. This has never happened before. It was every room in our house. The whole system went off. And it lasted all of like half a minute or something like that. Maybe 45. Maybe 15 seconds. And it ended. And it's never done it again. And I right away went, nice parlor trick, devil. Yeah. Nice parlor trick. Immediately you thought it was the enemy. Right away. I'm like, what else could that be? What are you doing? Okay. Very funny. You're not freaking me out. But it had everything to do with hearing. It had everything to do with sound. Oh, gosh. I didn't even make that connection. Yes. Yes. I did not even make that connection. And it hasn't come back. It hasn't happened since. It never happened before.

9:47 And it was specifically when I was praying about his tinnitus. Wow. Maybe he was like trying to tell me to pronounce it tinnitus. And devil went, it's tinnitus. Beep, beep, beep. I don't know. Wasn't that crazy? It was absolutely wild. I loved it. I'm like, oh, okay. This is effective. And then I texted Pastor Jimmy. I said, how's the tinnitus? He says, oddly somewhat less today. Oh. Yeah. Isn't that awesome? Yeah. Well, then I told you while I was gone. I said, I want you to pray over every room in our house. Oh, yeah. And you did that, right? I walked around with the Bible. I said, Satan, if you're here, get out. You got no business here. Goodbye. Get out. I didn't feel anything, though.

10:27 I didn't feel anything was here. Oh, okay. No, I don't think. He's just in our smoke alarm. He was. He's gone now. That was freaky. It was fantastic. That was really weird. I thought it was like, wow. This is how it works, huh? Yeah. Well, you're not freaking me out with your smoke detector jokes at all. Yeah. So, yes. And that was the day you were leaving. Yes, I left again. I went to Florida. I went to see my girlfriend of 37 years, Teresa. We've talked about Teresa on the show many, many times. Yes. And travel woes again. That's what's getting ridiculous. That's why it's so weird. I said, Adam, you need to make more podcasts because I need to fly private.

11:10 Maybe you just need to fly less. I think that's the answer. And you won't be so annoyed by it when it happens. I think that's the answer. Because it happens all the time. Travel sucks. It's just what it is. So, Robert took me to the airport. And he's like, you know, there's a bad weather system north of Dallas, from Dallas or somewhere. And I'm like, oh, no. So, I got to Dallas. No problem. And then, oh, yeah. What was it? Three-hour delay? Was it a three-hour delay? I thought it was more. I thought it was like four hours. He's sitting in the Dallas airport. I'm just like, oh. Yeah. So, finally, I got to Fort Myers about 9.30, close to 10. And I didn't really stay up that late. No, you must have been wiped out. I was so, so tired.

11:52 And then it was the same way coming back. I was delayed at... Well, it wasn't all that bad. You were more freaked out than the delay was. I had a really big layover in Dallas. But we were late, what, an hour, hour and a half, leaving Fort Myers. And then we were delayed a half-hour leaving Dallas. So, it all worked out. It's just... Flying is... It just sucks. At least I've gotten you to... Please let me have someone take you and pick you up so that when you come home and you're annoyed, you don't have to sit in the car for an hour and 15 minutes driving yourself. And Robert, he was very intrigued by my fasting. He's like, tell me about the fasting. Because I said, oh, I'm fasting. I fasted... Also, who fasts on a travel day?

12:34 Who wants to eat airport food? Yeah, but you're in the... You're at altitude, you know. It's just... I was just drinking water. I was so hydrated. Okay, all right. I was so high. He was very intrigued. He kept asking me all these questions. And I was telling him about my weighted vest. And he was just... You know, he's a marathon runner and a cyclist. Ah, that explains it. So, he was very, very interesting. So, how is that all going? How are you doing? How are you doing with your weighted vest and your fasting and everything? Good. How do you feel? I feel great. I can't see you. I'm actually now... I've lost too much weight. I weigh less than Sir Brian with an eye now. No. Yes. Wow, okay. Yeah, and you know, he's like...

13:14 You can't even see him. Shall I go to Whataburger and get you a cheeseburger real quick? No, no. You don't look like you need a cheeseburger. No, no, no. No, but I'm... Yeah. No, it's going great. It's going great. I'm actually hungry right now. Are you happy? Yes. Yeah, okay. Of course I'm happy. That's all that counts. Yeah, I just don't want to... I don't want to lose any more weight. I'm fine where I am, but getting back to Florida. So, I had a lovely, lovely time with Teresa, and it's just amazing at how our friendship has continued to evolve, and I talked about this on the last show, that we talk a lot about God. Yeah, that's nice. We talk a lot about God. That's nice. We talk about... I read a devotional every morning. She had a devotional book sitting on her coffee table, and I read it every morning, and we just talk about everything, and she said it perfectly.

13:57 She said, it's just so comfortable. It is. But it's been that way for all this time. You guys have always had this, right? And I told her, I said, you're my sister. She's like a sister to me. So we had a great time. So Friday, we actually... What did we do? Gosh, I can't even remember. We walked, and we went to Whole Foods, and I made dinner. It's funny. I made dinner. I didn't mind. I didn't mind. So we made cod, and then we went on a tiki boat. So this tiki boat, I put it on my Instagram, and it's round. It's like on a... It's like a raft. Like on a pontoon. It's like a raft. Like on a pontoon, but it's round. And it actually has the tiki hut, like the thatched roof.

14:40 And so we were the only two on this tiki boat. And was there alcohol on board? You could bring whatever you wanted. Of course, I brought water, and she brought homemade cranberry juice, and she brought an apple with peanut butter. We're like, we're here to party. Woohoo! All right, everybody. It kind of reminded me, you know, if you've ever read Huckleberry Finn, you've read the book Huck Finn? A long time ago. He's on the raft with Jim, and they're going down the river. It kind of, except for the thatched roof part, it's like, that's kind of what I imagined their raft looked like. Kind of a house. Yeah. A little house on a pontoon. But it's got a boat motor, you know? Oh, yeah. That's handy. Yeah. That's very handy. Did you go out far? Yeah. Because that thing didn't look very seaworthy to me. Well, we got to kind of the edge of where it was really choppy, and I asked him twice.

15:25 I go, you're not going out there, are you? He's like, no, no, no. We can't go out there. Okay. But we were like inland, and yeah, I mean, it was pretty wide. Oh, so you went in the sea or on the inland part? Yes. Oh, okay. Oh, that makes sense. You know, because I'm checking it out, like, how far are the sides in case this thing tops over, tips over? Were there life rafts on board? I saw something like up in the teepee thing. If this thing goes, you're going up to heaven. You're done. Yeah, because I'll just drown. You know me. I'll panic, and I'm done. I'm done. I will. I'll panic. Because I truly believe I can't tread water. Yes, you can. I cannot tread water. I just sink. I sink. I really do. I've seen you in the pool. You're just fine.

16:05 I'm always standing in the pool. I'm never floating. I always have a flotation device. That's why we have the best pool ever. You can't drown in our pool. But anyway, what was really cool. He dropped us off at a beach. We got to walk the beach a little bit. We saw an injured pelican. This couple was watching. It was three people. I guess they were watching it. Kyle, the tiki boat captain, came along. They said, oh, he's injured. I said, how do you know he's injured? They said, well, they don't do that. They don't just stay there like that. He actually picked up the pelican, and they took it to a rescue place. Oh, really? Yeah.

16:47 We just walked the beach a little bit, and he took some pictures of us. We just had a good time. Did he say, okay, girls pose? No. He was a young guy. He was really nice. That's what I mean. We're asking about his love life. Does he have a girlfriend? We're drilling him. These two older women. Hey, tell us about your love life. Then all of a sudden, we see fins out of the water. There were dolphins like 10 feet, 15 feet in from the shore. Really? Yes. Yes. Wow. That's very peculiar. There was a mama and a baby, and then there was another one. That's fantastic. They were so close. When we got into the boat, the dolphins actually gave us a show.

17:27 They were feeding. He was coming up out of the water and chasing after this fish. He told us that the dolphins, when they're in shallow water, that they turn on their sides because of their fins, because their fins would be out of the water, so then they're going this way. Right, right, right. For people who can't see, my hand waving. You're flapping. I'm flapping my hand horizontally. It was amazing. It was probably an hour of a dolphin show, watching this dolphin chase these fish. It was just one dolphin? There was two. There was actually three. Two and the baby. The mom and the baby went somewhere. This one was just feeding.

18:07 Kyle, the boat captain, said, people come out here, they go on these boats, and they wait hours for this show. To see this show. It just happened to be right there. Praise God. Of course, they had a stereo on, so I played DJ. Teresa picked a song, he picked a song, I picked a song. You did the Sonos DJ thing. I did the Sonos DJ. That's a pretty cool thing to do. We were playing some really cool tunes, like Lynyrd Skynyrd. Oh, you were going that direction. Teresa loves Lynyrd Skynyrd. You rock chicks, man. Chicago rock chicks. Midwest rock chicks. I played Red Hot Chili Peppers, and we played Chris Stapleton.

18:49 We had some good tunes going. We were out there for two and a half hours. It was really fun. It was really, really fun. It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful to be on the water. Have you ever swam with the dolphins? Yes, in Mexico. Isn't that fun? It's a little creepy. Oh, you didn't like it? Okay. The dolphins are very- Did they push you out of the water? Yes. One under each foot? They're very amorous. You have to be careful with them. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah. I did a documentary. Well, I did this documentary that was, I think it was the Bahamas for some reason, and I went swimming with Jake and the Fat Man. Oh, goodness gracious. Yeah, and then later we were petting them, and- Oh, one got a little aroused. They were like, what?

19:32 That thing's got a knee. What is that? Oh, holy moly. These dolphins. Yeah. They're love fish. They are love fish for sure. Yes, they are. Yeah, you got to be careful. They get a little excited. Yes. Yeah. So, that was kind of cool to watch that, you know, because I've never seen them in their own habitat fishing. So, it was really cool. Nice. And so, then that was Friday, and then Saturday, we just went shopping, and, you know, we just hung around, but we stopped at one of- we went walking on a trail and a boardwalk, which was really pretty, and then we stopped by her neighbor's house, and in this tree, like across the street from her neighbor's house, were two eagles.

20:17 Eagles. Real eagles? Eagles. They had a nest. One had a nest up there, and I took a picture. This is like crazy. I took a picture and zoomed in, because Teresa told me. She's like, yeah, there's eagles there. I go, eagles? Really? Eagles. She's like, yeah. I'm like, really? In Florida, eagles? And she's like, yeah. And so, we stopped there, and sure enough, sure enough, so they had- Were they bald eagles or gold eagles? Well, they had the white heads. Yeah? Oh, wow. Yeah. That's a bald eagle, right? Yeah. And they were way up high in this tree, and they had a nest, and the mama must have flew in and got on the nest, and then you could see that the dad flew there, too. I guess it's the dad. What? God gave you guys a show, man.

20:59 What about that? That's really fantastic. I mean, we were like water, sand, dolphins, bald eagles, trails. All you missed was me. Shopping. Not really. Shopping. You had shopping, okay. It was really fun, and then Sunday morning, we got up, and we went to the gym, and then we went to the park, or did we go to the park first? I can't remember. We went to the park, and we watched the bridge service at 9 a.m. Did you see my arms? You can't miss your arms. Because I'm standing next to Annette on one chair over, so I'm right in the shot, I'm sure. Yeah, you can't miss your arms. People are like, where's Tina? Where's Tina? Everyone, like, where's Tina?

21:39 Where's your better half? Aw, that's so sweet. I just say, she abandoned me. She abandoned me. She doesn't care about me. She left me. Yeah. I did leave you alone. Well, so Phoebe and I, we just stayed home. I'm not done. I'm just giving you the up until Sunday. I know you're not done. So you were gone, and you left on a Thursday, right? Yes. Yeah, so I did the show, and I was done with the show. Yeah, Whataburger. I went to Whataburger. I took Phoebe through Whataburger. Hey, let's go to Whataburger, girl. Come on. She loves it. By the time we're in the line at Whataburger, she not even has her head out the window. She's like, okay, all right, I'm not going to get in. She doesn't get all excited smelling the fast food that comes in your car?

22:20 No, she doesn't care at all. Oh. No, she's fine. And then every single night, we watched Formula One Need for Speed. Oh, that's what you do. You usually watch car shows. We watched the Formula One. Did you text with my daughter while you were watching this? Because you know she's a huge Formula One fan. No, I didn't. I didn't. No. She would totally know what you're talking about. I know if I start texting with her, she's like, we got to go to the Austin Grand Prix. I'm like, I don't have to deal with that because it's on a Sunday. It's a problem. But Max Verstappen, he's the Dutch guy. He's still the number one driver in the world. She knows who he is. It's cool. Quite fascinating. I know him from when he was still in open Formula cars. I know this kid.

23:00 You know him personally? I know his dad. Oh, you do? Yeah, I know them both. Okay. I believe you. There's no reason not to believe me. I know Madonna. Oh, whatever. I know Adam Curry. Who else do I know? I know Joe Rogan. Yes, you do. I met him once. Yeah, you do. Well, it sounds like you had a very relaxing weekend. You worked a lot. I worked crazy. Yes. I was doing Godcaster stuff. Godcaster takes most of your time now. Most of your time. That's what it looks like. But in between, I'm doing no agenda stuff. I'm doing everything simultaneously interwoven.

23:43 God has me very busy. Yes, he does. He has me very, very busy. He has you very, very busy. I'm blessed that I get to do it. Yes. But man, he has me busy. Yes. He has me busy. Yes. I'm glad that you're eating well, at least. Yes. You're eating well and you're getting your walks in still. Yes. All right. So Sunday, I'm sorry to interrupt your flow of your travel diary. So then we ended up driving down to Naples. I always thought Fort Myers was south of Naples, but it's north of Naples. And so we went down there because I said, let's go to lunch. And so we went to this little restaurant that was on the water and then we hit downtown. And yeah, I don't know. It was okay. Not a lot of shopping.

24:23 I mean, there must have been a million Italian restaurants in the downtown strip on Fifth Street. I don't think I've ever been to Naples in my life. It's really pretty. It reminds me of Boca Raton. It's quite swanky. It's quite swanky. But I just had a lovely time with her. I mean, it was just easy. Everything was easy. I think it was my fourth time there. And then we went up to meet her little neighbor, Doris, who's 96 years old. And Doris, she was such a delight. She told us about how after her husband passed that she hooked up with the guy. Wait, how old was she when that happened? She was in her 80s. Go Doris.

25:04 I guess she asked Theresa. One time she asked Theresa, she goes, hey, do you know any guys? I love it. I mean, she's pretty good for 96. That's awesome. And Theresa just adores her. She adores Theresa. I can understand. It's hilarious. Yeah, it was fun. It was fun. So it was a good trip. It was a good trip. I was glad to come home to my husband. Yes, and of course, I was playing a travel agent on the spot. You were. You were. Okay, I have a delay. You're like, oh. That is what the text sounded like to me. I wasn't really that bad. I mean, I'm much calmer now than God's in my life. You are. But you were annoyed by it. Now that Jesus Christ dwells within me, I'm way calmer.

25:44 And of course, I didn't tell you, but there was absolutely no flight from Dallas after the one. You would have had to stay in Dallas. I would have rented a car and driven home. I'm sure you would have. But I had the exact time calculated that you had to transfer between flights and everything. You're so good. Well, it has nothing to do with that. I just want to help you. I just want you to feel good. And so, oh, yes, on Saturday. Yes. You had errands for me. You had a couple of post-it notes. Only one, actually. Kind of disappointing. And you put everything on one post-it note. I want three post-it notes for three things. Oh, okay. But anyway. What was it? I told you to take the box of UPS.

26:25 It was Eric. It was the UPS. And get the mailbox from the mail. And I did more than that. I did all kinds of stuff. I know. No flowers, though. It's okay. I had music and a candle, though. You did. And you had a steak in the refrigerator in case I was hungry. Yes, I did. A cooked steak. A hundred percent. A hundred points. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. So, it was Saturday. I'm like, oh, you know, I don't feel like cooking. I really, I just feel like one of those, what's the Chinese Panda? Panda Express. Panda Express. I just want. Like that you get at the airport of which food I refuse to eat. Yes, yes. I wanted a Panda Express sweet and sour chicken.

27:07 And I was pretty sure it was a Panda Express near the UPS store. I don't know why I thought that. And so, which is on the outskirts of town because we don't allow any box stores in town. Am I boring you? No. This is late. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Karen. And so, I'm driving around and the Starbucks is there and all that. And I thought there was a Panda Express here. I must be crazy. So, I put in the navigator, Panda Express Fredericksburg. Okay. Yeah. Panda Express or Panda Chinese restaurant this way off Elk Street. I'm like, that's funny. Elk Street, that's in town. You can't have a Panda Express in town. So, I roll up and it says Panda Chinese restaurant.

27:47 I walk in. I'm like, this is not a Panda Express. It's a proper Chinese restaurant with, you know, with tables and table service and everyone's really nice and it has an atmosphere. And I say, I thought this was a Panda Express. Believe me, they've heard this a million times because they came back with, this is locally owned restaurant 14 years. Okay. All right. Chill. All right. All right. Win who? It's good. Win who? Win who? It was fantastic. Well, I know because you texted me and you go, there are real Asian people that work there. They were super Chinese and everything, right? All the details. I got my Sapporo beer in a chilled glass.

28:28 I'm like, this is a hidden gem. And it was not crap. It was good Chinese food. We have to go. We have to go. Is there anything I can eat there? It's Chinese food. Oh. I don't know. It's filled with MSG, isn't it? No, no, no, no. There was no MSG. How do you know? Because I said, is it MSG? No, it's locally owned restaurant. There's no MSG. This is my racist voice. I hope everyone's real proud of me. But it had kind of a Texas twang to it. It's locally owned restaurant, yo. Wow. Every Asian now hates me. You were so excited about it.

29:10 I was. The sweet and sour chicken was fantastic. And egg roll. Did you get dessert? You had an almond cookie? No, no. They gave a fortune cookie, but I didn't eat the fortune cookie. Oh, okay. I didn't read the fortune yet. I'm not into that anymore. My fortune is with God. I don't need to read a fortune cookie. Do you know what's gonna happen? Because I know where I'm going eventually. Don't you cookies are not good. I don't care. No, they don't taste great. They don't taste good at all. No, they don't taste great. And those almond cookies are not good either. I don't know. Didn't get me any almond cookies, but it was, it was, it was real. I was so delighted with the experience. I really was. I could tell. Perfect experience. I could tell and you, sounds like you had a plentiful meal. Oh yeah, no, I stuffed myself. It was great. What did you have to begin with?

29:51 Egg rolls? Calamari. Oh, calamari. And egg roll and soup. The miso soup. Oh, I had the full deal. Of course I didn't eat lunch. I never eat lunch anymore. You don't eat lunch anymore. Lunch is overrated. You don't get hungry? No. You're like, I need a piece of cheese. Well, yeah, sometimes I have a little piece of cheese. I'm good. Yeah. And then you came home and I think I'd have to go. No, Sunday you grilled out. Yeah, then you came home Monday and then, oh yeah, Tuesday I had to go to Austin. Yeah. Which was actually completely delightful. Okay, but before you get there. You tell, and I'm just the producer, go ahead. Okay. But go ahead, Cara.

30:32 So you go, all right, I'm done. I'm done, no more flip phone. I went, what? That's why you are not cool anymore. I went, wait, what, what happened? Why don't you share why you're no longer cool anymore? Because you said you were the coolest person because you had your flip phone. Well, it's because the flip phone has very little, I don't need to do more than text, really. And the flip phone has very little space to read what you're talking. Oh, I know, I told you, it's one inch by one inch. And so there's so many mistakes that came in, it became comical. Well, was it, did it become embarrassing? Pretty much. Yes.

31:12 Yeah, and Dutch words would show up and Pastor Jimmy would just like send me eyes emoji, like, I don't know, what did you just say? But, you know, I was texting Steve Maxwell and it said, okay, Steven. And instead of Colby, it said Kobe, like Kobe Bryant. I'm like, oh my God, that was the drop. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm like, I can't do this anymore. I have to go. But I'm still using my crippled Graphene OS on Pixel. You've lost your coolness now. Well. You can't throw it on the table. The Light Phone 3 is coming. I ordered that a year ago and it just happens to be that it ships, so we'll see. And so what did I say when you said, I'm back to my Graphene iOS.

31:57 No, I think you just pointed at me and laughed. No, I said, I go, will you promise me that you will not be on your phone when we go to bed? Because that was the beautiful thing about the Flip Phone. We'd go to bed, well, prior to that, we would go to bed and you'd be on your phone and that blue light was shining in my eyes and I think that's what caused my sleep problems. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, but you see, the discipline stayed. I don't need to be on my phone. I know. I enjoy just putting the phone down, going to sleep. And going right to sleep, yeah. That discipline has changed. Yes. And I don't mind. I have the discipline. I have the discipline.

32:38 Of course, if you can text more, more people text back. That's just like the rule. If you answer emails, people answer them again. So there's a little bit more of that, but in the situation I'm in right now, I need to be able to respond with some dignity to people. Yes. And so, speaking of Asians, so I did this thing on, because I got a lot of text messages from Asians. Oh. Because I went to speak at the Arena Hall with Rob Steffens. He's a member there and I- These are friends of ours that live in Austin. They talked about them, I think. Tiffany and Rob, yes. He's the former Hollywood executive and he's a member of this club and this is where you actually went to see the- I went to the Mini Health Summit where all the beautiful people were.

33:20 That was there at that place. And so there's maybe 30, 35 people, all basically refugees from Hollywood and even New York. They're either in technology, finance, finance, or entertainment. And it was just, it was like just a fireside chat and I could tell that people were enjoying it, had a good time. And what was crazy, and these are conservative people. It's crazy that they're conservative in Austin. That's why there's only 35 of them in the club. Okay, there was all, there was predominantly conservative people when I was there. Yeah, and at least three people came up to me and said, because I was talking about my faith journey.

34:07 It's always interwoven, it's just who I am, I just talk about it. And three people kind of said, thank you for talking about that. I've really been struggling a little bit. I've been feeling that I need to get back into it. That's so cool. Like big men with tattoos and mustaches. I mean, interesting, interesting people. I said, hey brothers, my number, text me anytime. And there were, go ahead. No, the guy, didn't you say at the beginning of the interview, the one guy, one of the founders of the arena asked you a question? Yes, no, he came up and he, Evan, and Evan is kind of like a, hey everybody, kind of like a Hollywood tech, snappy, fast guy. And he said, wow, so what really drove you to do all this?

34:50 And I look at him and I said, God. And his whole posture changed within three seconds. And he's a believer, but he was keeping that kind of underneath his veneer of bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, I'm a fast talker. And he completely softened up. Because I just looked at him and said, God, God told me to do this. God made me do this. And it changed everything. That was even before we sat down to do this talk. It was when I just met him before, like 20 minutes before we went on. But then afterwards, and there was just this huge guy, Marine, and they're doing a documentary about him. And he had found his faith after severe opioid addiction.

35:32 A lot of vets go through this. And he turned into a super successful marathon runner and just all these different God talks. But what was so interesting is that before I, of course, I texted my boyfriend, Pastor Jimmy, like I'm going to Austin and I'm doing this thing. He said, well, what is it? So I send him the link. And he says, wow, that kind of looks like a church, what they're doing there. And so when we sat down and started off, Rob said, Adam texted his pastor and his pastor said that it looks like a church. You could hear people go, yeah.

36:12 Oh, really? Oh, I didn't realize he repeated that. So the whole thing was just had a veneer of God over it. It was fantastic. In Austin. Now, speaking of Asians. But they come up to me like, I'm gonna text you. I'll just remind you, I'm the tall Asian guy. Okay, right, all right. Or I'm the Indian guy that's like, they all, it was great. That's how they're describing me? Totally, totally. Because his name wasn't like. No, Ravi was his name. That helped. Wait, Ravi was the Asian guy? No, Ravi was the Indian guy. Oh, and the Asian guy was. Wait, Tan. Tan. Tan Chun. Tan Chun. Anyway.

36:54 Don't be racist about their last names. That's so unbecoming. But he invited us to one of his exclusive sushi. He says, do you like sushi? I said, if there's one thing that we miss in Fredericksburg, sushi. Well, he says, I do these special like 12 or 15 or 14 people at the Michelin Star Sushi Restaurant in Austin. I'm like, you can count us in. He already texted me. He did? Oh yeah, oh yeah. No, we're in. We're in like Flynn, baby. We're going to the sushi party. Awesome, awesome. Anyway, it was, you know these things like you say, yes, I'll do it. Of course I'm going to do that for Rob. Rob asked me, I'll do it. But I was like, oh, what have I said yes to?

37:35 What is this going to be like? Because you didn't know. No, and it was, I know I came home and I was like, that was totally enjoyable. I've had a good time. You said it multiple times that you had a really, really good, and I was going to go, but I was just, I was wiped out from travel. Tiffany was disappointed, but she understood. Yeah, I'm going to see her at the end of the month. It was just, the whole thing was amazing, particularly because all these God conversations come from like, what is going on? I'm ministering to people. And I'm telling these guys, hey man, you got questions? Here's what I read. Text me anytime. And they're texting me like with questions. Oh, I'll answer to the best of my ability, you know, whatever. So anyway, that was nice.

38:16 I'm so glad you went out there. Me too. And I think, I don't know if we ever talked about how I met Tiffany, but I was working at J.Crew and it was during COVID. And she came in and I sold her a couple of cashmere sweaters and she said she had just moved from New York. And I said, oh, I remember saying, oh, what do you think about Andrew Cuomo? And then that opened the door. You opened the COVID, the secret COVID handshake. Yes, that opened the door. And then we became friends and we didn't know that her husband used to be a, was he co-president or president of Marvel? Yeah, no, he was definitely still president of Marvel then. Yes. And we didn't even know that.

38:57 And so I got together with her a couple of times and we got together as couples and we've been friends ever since. But that was like four years ago. If you stay at each other's house, you're friends. Yeah. For sure. They're delightful. They're absolutely delightful. They're very nice. And then I've just been working, working, working. But while you were gone, so Adam's got this pit boss pellet grill. And so I've only cooked on it. Wait, no, it starts in bed in the morning. Oh yeah. And I've explained this several times. I do this to you all the time. I talk about complex things. I know I was talking about the taxes this morning. I need you to- First thing, first thing, like, okay, I'm going to do this. And I think I said, babe, there's a couple of things I do. I do the taxes.

39:38 Don't worry about it. I got this. You just fill this out, put this number on it, send that off. You don't need to do anything else. It's all good. I was, and I was completely calm. I was calm generally. But then you, then you got a little testy with me about the grill. Oh no, because you, because you were not being nice. I have explained the grill several times to you. Twice, twice. That's several. One is one, two is several. No, it's a couple, a couple. Okay, agreed, that's a couple. I did it once. Mind you- It's not like a Weber grill. I still have my mouth guard in bed. It's sexy, by the way, especially the spit, kind of like.

40:19 So funny. By the way, you still had your frownies on. Oh, that's right. And you had your eye patch. My eye patch? Yeah, whatever you wear. I was pirate in bed. Your eye patch. I'm amazed you don't have like a helmet on when you go to bed, like just to make sure everything's good. I know, I have socks on. You got socks on. I mean, what am I, who is next to me? Is this a person? So anyway. Oh, they already snagged you. And that's the truth. And there it is, gentlemen, there it is. I already snagged you. The frownies go on. The patch goes on. I'm doing it for you, babe. You're doing nothing for me. I have my eye mask on that Ashley Slater gave me because it helped hold my frownies in place.

41:02 See, I knew it wasn't because of the light because I don't use my phone. So I was just, anyway, forget the frownies. So anyways, when you come in at night, you always bring me ChapStick. Oh, that's another thing. I got my night mask on and I'm just like putting my arm out like give me the, I know I'm so sexy. It's not like you can buy your own ChapStick. I have ChapStick. I have an extra new ChapStick. I'm so sexy too. It doesn't matter. Give me the ChapStick, I need my socks. Do people even know what a frowny is? You better explain the frowny. It's basically a big Band-Aid on her forehead because there's some notion that her forehead will wrinkle in the morning or something. That's not it. No, that's not, what is it for then?

41:42 Because you have a look of surprise on your face when you have that thing on. I'm like, was there something else, babe? Did you have a question? Well, okay. If you have a wife who has a frowny, mail me. I bet you there's zero emails come in. No one uses these things. Brandy uses frownies. She does? That's where you got it from. Brandy? No. Is Brandy the frowny instigator? Brandy doesn't wear them at night though. What it basically does- Where does she wear them during the day? Just around the house? Now that would be a deal breaker for me. You cannot wear that during the day. At night when it's dark and I can't see very well- What if I get bangs and I'll hide it?

42:24 Look, the bangs can't be much worse than those pants you think are modern. I don't care what you say. They're too short and they're like ragamuffin, like Raggedy Andy pants. I know. I know. That's a good show title, Raggedy Andy Pants. And now I had a pair on tonight too. She goes, Jimmy doesn't like these. I go, of course not. He's a man with some sense of fashion. No, that's the problem. You guys don't have a sense of fashion. I lived in the world of fashion. I've been to fashion shows. This is just, sigh up. The magazines go, hey, let's see what we can sell these stupid women now.

43:08 Watch this, watch this. Are you calling us? Take that back. I take it back. Watch what we can sell these gullible women now. Check this out. These pants, they'll love it. They look cute. Anyway, getting back to the frownies. The frownies- They look cute. Put a patch- Just like the pants. I put a patch on my forehead because when I lay on my side, everything pushes. I wake up with this huge dent in my forehead that lasts half the day. Is this like death becomes her? Are you Glenn Close or something? It's a dent. Does Bruce Willis have to come in and de-dent you in the morning? It's a dent. So the frownies help keep things flat. Okay. Anyway, we wake up in the morning.

43:50 I start talking about the grill because I knew you were going to Austin. I have to cook. I was going to grill out some burgers and I have to get all my protein in because I'm on this protein kick. So I asked you, now tell me about, it's a pellet grill. It's not a Weber where you push the button and the flame comes out. You literally press the button and- But you got to open the lid. You got to open the sear plate. Then once it heats up, I got to wait for the smoke to come out of it. Oh, wow. How many steps do we have? Three? But it takes time. And then when the smoke comes out, you got to go close the lid, close the sear plate, and then put the burgers on.

44:32 And I explained it, you read it back to me, and then 2.7 seconds later, so what do I do again? That wasn't how it went. I go, wait, what's the purpose of the sear plate? Why do you have to open it? Why do you have to close it? And then you got testy. You're like, don't you understand? I've explained it to you two times already. I did not say that. Yes, you did. And I'm like, look, it's not the Weber grill. Cut me some slack here, buddy. And all you want to do was burgers. Just throw it in the pan. Anyway. No, I'm not panning the burgers. Anyway, you did it. I did it, but. And you lit the house on fire. I did.

45:12 Burgers are about the hardest thing. I didn't want to say it. I didn't want to say, by the way, fire may ensue because there's so much fat on these things that they just catch fire at a certain point. Yes, because I said to you, well, we almost had a casualty. I had a little bit of a three alarm fire. I almost burned my frownies off my head. Actually protected your forehead from scorching. I don't wear the frownies during the day. That's what you say. I don't know what you do when I'm gone. You're probably walking around with your socks and your chapstick and your short pants and your frownies and your eye patch. Hoping no one rings the doorbell. Yeah, that's me. That's me, all right. But I'm proud of you because you did it.

45:52 I did it. I had a little bit of a fire and I'm like, what do I do with this? What do I do? I'm trying to move the burger because I'm like, this is going to be charbroiled if I don't move this burger. And it starts to break up and I'm like, oh my God, I'm not sure what to do with this fire. So I just closed the lid. I'm like, if I close the lid, that's less oxygen that puts out the fire, right? That is a very good idea. And it put it out? It did. And it ended up being pretty good. I had the burgers. So now I can do it. You're very good. I'm so proud of you. Sorry that I was grilling you in the morning with your mouth guard in. So sexy, by the way. Like my frownies.

46:33 We're quite the couple. See folks, it's not all glamor around here. When we're in bed, I literally wait until we're done talking. Cause we love talking at night before we go to sleep. Yeah, we always talk. You know, cause at least you have your back towards me. I don't have to look at the frowny and the eye patch and all that stuff. We're spooning. And you have to put the pillow between your legs so I can get out in the back of your motorcycle seat. Yes. But I will wait until we're done talking. Then I put the mouth guard in. Yes, and then I'll ask you another question. And then you have to. Always, always. I'm like, hush. Then you have to take it out, yeah. I'm protecting this investment. That's what that's about. I'm protecting the investment. Yeah, yeah. Oh man. Well, I hope everybody enjoyed our life.

47:14 Yeah, I know. It's a big night on Friday night here at the Curry house. Yes, this is very exciting. We are having live worship music at our house. We have about 30 people coming and we are just beyond excited. It's gonna be very cool. Yes. Are we gonna video this now? Or are we just gonna worship? No, we're just gonna worship. So I had to borrow some chairs. We're gonna have to move a little bit of furniture around. I toyed with the idea of doing it outside but because the back of our house faces west, I think it'll get really warm. Might be a little too hot, yeah. But people are bringing appetizers, so we'll have. It's gonna be super duper. It's gonna be lovely, lovely. I'm really excited, yeah. I don't think we've ever hosted this many people in our house. Nope.

47:54 Where are they gonna park? Not a problem. No, they'll park in the driveway and in the cul-de-sac too. And they'll have to walk up the long driveway. With all the weeds, tripping over the weeds. A lot of them are dead though. Yeah, a lot of them are dead. But I'm really excited. It's gonna be a beautiful, beautiful night. It is gonna be fun. And then, oh, you leave on Saturday. I do, I know, put a gun to my head. Oh, you're gone again. Yeah, so Phoebe and I will have a good time doing Godcaster programming and watching more Formula One. We only have three episodes left. No, no, no, you leave on Monday for Holland, so you don't have. Yeah, but Saturday, Saturday. Yeah, Saturday.

48:35 Yeah, Saturday, oh, and then you work Sunday and then you leave Monday. You know where your passport is, right? Yes, in the documents, special documents folder. Yes, no, it's in the first door of the file cabinet. Yeah, that's what I mean. So we're gonna be like two ships passing in the night. We're not even gonna pass each other. No, I know. So I won't see you for a whole week. I know, I know, party over here. Yeah, and I'll have to pack my own suitcase. How about that? Oh, how about that? What am I gonna do when I don't have the magic packing suitcase? I know, I know. I think I can handle it. I think you can. Yes, you did it for quite some time when you were single and bachelorette and flying all over the world with all your girlfriends.

49:15 Okay, everybody. It's time for Tina's God shot. Notice how I never say anything disparaging about you. Well, I didn't go up, I didn't have to go on the breakup tour. That's you, and you proudly tell that story. And it's time for Tina's God shot. It's a long, long time. I know, babe, I know. We're going on 10 years. Here's your God shot, baby. Okay, of course, coming off of my treasured girlfriend time, weekend, it was only appropriate for me to find a scripture that spoke to that.

50:00 So it's Romans 12, verse nine and 10. Don't just pretend to love others, really love them. Hate what is wrong, hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection and take delight in honoring each other. And I chose that because that is how I feel about Teresa and a lot of people in my life. But coming off of that weekend, and it's so true, we have such genuine affection and love for each other. And we can talk about anything, anything. And I love that our conversations are so God-centered. I love that, you know, because when we met, we were single and we were hitting the bars and staying out all night.

50:44 TNT, TNT. Oh, TNT. Yes, they called us TNT. Really? Yes, you didn't know that. I don't think I've ever heard that. I'm sure Teresa told you that. Literally the bouncers would be like, hey, TNT are here. No, everybody at the bank because we hung out together. And I'll never forget when we were in the, I was on the second floor in the commercial banking women's bathroom. And I had mentioned, Teresa was in there and I had mentioned, yeah, I'm getting a divorce. This was when I was divorcing my first husband. And- You had to count, didn't you? One, two, three, four, five, yeah. And she said, you are. She's like, let's go out. And that's how it started. Because we knew each other from the bank, but now that I was kind of available, so we just started hanging out.

51:29 And I just, I look at the journey of our friendship and I was in her wedding. We had gone on trips, a lot of trips together. We had lived life together. We kind of lost a little bit of touch after I had Elise. And then when I moved to Florida, but she was always so good about staying in touch. And then- Those are the best friendships when you can pick it right up. And so that's why when you know, when I read the scripture about what God says, just don't just pretend to love others, really love them. I really love her. She's such a treasure in my life. I love Teresa too. I know, I know you do. When she puts the lid down. Yeah. And when she doesn't sit on my place.

52:11 She always sits at your place. She can sit on my place anytime. That's good, babe. Yeah. I love that. It's beautiful. Now wait for this. Wait until you hear all this. What's going on. Now it's time to hear from the Cokesuckers. Let's hear from them now. But we got to hear from those Cokesuckers now. What did you say? Wayne, what did you say? What did you say? Now it's time to hear from the Cokesuckers. So we are Value for Value. People kind of understand it by now. If you're not subscribed to the newsletter, you need to do that. Not often are you able to receive a weekly newsletter from an actual newsletter writing professional, which is what my wife is.

52:55 And she does a great job with it. I mean, it's good. It is a good newsletter. It's short to the point. It won't bore you. You'll get a chuckle out of it. And it'll remind you to listen to the show. And so we give you that. We give you the show, all of that, just the value we give you. If you want to send us anything back, a note, an email, a PayPal, something through the Value for Value, the Fountain Wallet, we love that as well. The P.O. Box. And I don't think we've ever, have we ever had an Insta-Salmonier? Was it the OG Salmonier? Was he an Insta-Salmonier? I want to say he was. Then this would be the second one. I have no note from him, but all of a sudden, out of the blue, in pops $500 from Robert Lucadello, I think the second, I think is what it said.

53:46 Yes, I see that. And I have no note. I don't have a note either. And I don't think we've ever heard from him before. So he needs to be decanted. You've been decanted. Robert, thank you so much. Wow. Please send us a note so we know what's going on. Well, yes, send us a note. And of course I need your address because you get the- You get the Salmonier sippy cups? No, wine glasses, not sippy cups. And the coasters. And the Salmonier coasters. Wow, Robert, thank you so much. This has been really awesome. But yes, tell us. I want to know how long you've been listening to our show. Please, please share. And thank you so much. Yes. And then coming in out of the right -hand corner with $50, Dame Christina Pearl shows up all of a sudden.

54:31 Well, let me, there's a correction. It's from Dame Christina Pearl and her husband, Charlie. Oh, oh, oh. She said, Charlie is a big listener of - He wasn't a listener though, first, was he? Has he always been a listener? I don't know when he started. But she said, he listens to the show. He loves the show. He loves listening to your show, she said. So she sent me a text. She said, I sent a donation for the show based on the newsletter. It sounds like you'll both need travel karma or as you Jesus freaks like to say, travel favor. That's true. That's true. That's right, girl. It is travel favor. Yeah, me too. She's great. And flight attendants don't get paid until we push back from the gate.

55:14 That's why we sometimes have a scowl on our face. Yeah, that's a jib, that's a jib. Okay, now understand, because Christina, the two on the plane coming from Dallas- Sour pusses, sour pusses. They were rude. They were just rude. And that is not, if Old Herb were still alive, that is not the culture of Southwest. They don't even make jokes anymore when they do the announcement. I'm sure Christina Pearl hated that anyway. I love the jokes. I thought it was part of the appeal of Southwest. I loved it. I'm sorry the bean count just came in and ruined your airline. I really am. That was a great airline. It's still a good airline. The people are good. But if they're sour puss, you should report them. You should write them up. Well, I looked for her name tag.

55:54 I'm like, what is your name? She's in the cupboard. I'm gonna ask Christina if she works with you. You're in trouble now. What's your name? You're in trouble. Conveniently didn't have one. Maybe they don't wear their name badge anymore. Flight 3220 from Dallas to San Antonio. Two scowling women. That's no good. Yeah, I'm like, you just don't like your uniform. Bad day at the office. I understand bad day at the office. Yes. Well, anyway. But thank you, Christina Hurley. What is that? That's a striper donation from Pastor Jimmy Pruitt who pops in with, he had to replenish his wallet. So he came in with two boosts. And he says, another great episode. I'm doing a week boost because well, Adam knows it's a technical thing that so he sent in two.

56:37 But this is the first one he sent in. We get to do this together. Trash car. Yes, Tina, we have felt your pain with budget. Yes, never again. Then he says, have an amazing day on purpose as Pastor Jimmy always says. If you listen to hellofred.fm, have an amazing day on purpose. You know who else says that? Andrea now.

I don't know how you have time to do it, but you did. Another question of the week. ♪ The question of the week All right, Gina knows the question. She's got her answer. This is basically a question for me. Okay. If this is not about your first little girlfriend, like what was her name? Bernie? Bernie. Bernie. I thought it was Bernie. Bernie. Okay. Cause you were what, five? Yeah. Yeah, that's not a girlfriend. That was my first kiss. That was my first kiss. Not my first. Not like your first real kiss, though.

1:03:42 No, it was her birthday party and I gave her a present and all the kids were out and she gave me a kiss for the present. I was like, I didn't expect, cause Bernie was cute. I didn't expect it. I think all the kids went, what? Yeah, but that's not like your first real kiss. No, no. Okay, so that's my question. Tell me about your very first kiss. Caroline von Arsen. Caroline. And this is when we were living in the village. How old were you? I was 15 and she was 16, scandalous. Were you as tall as you are now?

1:04:22 I was tall for my age. And I think that, cause we used to hang out near the phone booth. There was only 700 people in this village. Hung out near the phone booth? Yeah, the dudes hung out near the phone booth on the corner. Did you have like cigarettes in your car? Oh, we were smoking, oh yeah, oh yeah. Roll up our own cigarettes, smoking, hanging out by the phone booth with our homemade motorcycles and stuff. Hey girl, how you doing girls? You thought you were really cool. I was the youngest, I was like 17, 18. But at least I had a motorcycle. And you were tall, so they were like. No, I was a loser, but it's okay. And she was by far the most beautiful girl of the village. I still to this day, don't know how this happened.

1:05:03 And somehow we got to talking and I was talking, cause I was from America. I thought she thought that was interesting. At the time, we were talking about Saturday Night Fever and how much we loved that movie. And I think I went to her house, I stood in front of her house and threw pebbles against her window. You did? Yeah, and then she came down and then we went to the church grounds, which is, you know, it's a very small village. So there's kind of like a little woods there and we made out. And that was my first real kiss, yes. So were you afraid? Like, were you nervous? No, but she said, I'm sorry about the garlic I ate.

1:05:45 And let me tell you. Yeah, it was a lot of garlic. Now later, she of course found a boyfriend that was age appropriate, the Ronald Ruckers. And he was like 19 and he had, you know, he had a driver's license and everything. So I kind of like, just kind of like got pushed aside. Oh, that sounds like a really nice first kiss. It was. Now, sadly, she died of cancer. Yes, I remember you telling me, yeah. And that was, I was sad about it. She was by far the most beautiful girl of the village. I still do not know how that happened. I think it was just that I was American and had, you know, I had some vibe about night fever. I could, I think I could cite lines from the movie, like, hey, let's go dance on the Brooklyn Bridge.

1:06:30 Oh, brother. I'm Danny. Come on, let's go dance on the Brooklyn Bridge, baby. And I charmed her. Did you do any moves? Did you do those moves? Oh, yeah, totally. I had the, I had moves. I had moves, yes. How about you, Tina Marie? Now, do you have any, do you have a story as good as that? No. No, okay. No, but I was in seventh grade. So how old are you in seventh grade? 12? 12, yeah, something like that. And it was Danny Anderson. He was a year younger than me. Danny Anderson. So I was the older woman too. Danny Anderson was a wrestler. So he would wrestle on the wrestling team. And I don't remember, I don't remember, like, how we started liking each other or how we met.

1:07:12 But I remember he came over to my house and we were sitting on the stoop on the side of our house. And then he just leaned over and kissed me. And I, it was, I, it was like electricity. Electrified. It went through my body. I got chills. It's multiplying. Yes, yes, exactly. It was so, it was the first time I was ever kissed. And it was just like a sweet little innocent kiss. We didn't make out like you made out, but I was only 12. But it was just, I was, yeah, I was really affected by it. And then, yeah, so he wrestled and I could never watch him wrestling because it made me nervous. But I think we dated for about a week. Oh, wow.

1:07:52 Wow, marathon, marathon. And then I didn't have another boyfriend until freshman year in high school because I was a fat girl. Were you going, were you going steady? Did you have his ring? No, no, it wasn't. His varsity jacket? Oh, wait, when I was 12 years old? Oh, yes. No, no, no, no, no. It was short lived. Now, if I may say. Yes. When I kiss you, I still get chills. It's multiplying, it's electrifying. Oh, please. It's your grease light. We had the best first kiss though. We did. That was our first, last kiss. I don't know. You were probably kissing people. What did you just say? Our first, last kiss? Yeah, our first, last kiss. Or wait, our last, first kiss.

1:08:33 I don't know what you're saying. You might be. Last first. Why don't you just stop it? It was great. I just stopped it. I don't know what you're talking about now, but it's. It was great though. It was a good memory. I have never kissed anyone, anyone but you since that first kiss. Oh, I don't believe that at all. You should, you should. That's all, I can't say the same. That was 10 years ago, baby. Anyway, my point was, yeah, I still get chills and electrical, electrifying when I kiss you. Oh, I love kissing you too. Yeah. It's important. Should you kiss me tonight with my mouth guard? Yes, I will. And I'll have my frownies on.

1:09:15 Now that's a sight. That's sexy. That's a picture for the newsletter. It's coming this week. I don't think so. Tina Marie. Yes, baby. I love you. I love you too. And no show next week. Sorry, it's sad. But we'll have a lot to talk about after that. See you then everybody. Thank you for listening.
