141: Big Bong

0:00 She can keep in line, everything's fine, you got all that you need, Curry and the Keeper. Yeah, Curry and the Keeper. Curry and the Keeper, July 16th, 2025, episode 141. Curry and the Keeper. And hello, my queen, driving that growling machine. Hey, baby. You know, that's not an AI slogan I put there. Slogan. Slogan, because you're driving that growling machine, baby. Hey, it's been a couple weeks. It's been a hot minute. It's been a hot minute.

0:40 And that's only because you didn't want to do the show? No. When we got to New York. It was my birthday week, and I said, I'm not working. And that's right. That's exactly what you said. Yes. And instead of going out to dinner tonight in Austin, we decided to do the show. We did, yes. Yes, because it was just, we couldn't not say hello to Vineyard Nation. Exactly. We put you ahead of this curated Michelin Stars sushi experience. Yes, we did. And we said, nope. Nope. Vineyard Nation, baby. Vineyard Nation is above all. Numero uno. Numero uno. Cheers me. Oh, yes, please. Here we go. One, two, three. Hey, you got it. Nice. All right. And you've got a clear glass of wine.

1:21 I'm drinking a straight up tequila, honey. I'm back on the I'm back on the wagon did you ever fall off of the wagon well I'm back on the Argelay wagon back on the Argelay wagon where were we that we were at Walmart we were at Walmart get some wine here and I'm like okay and I picked up a bottle it was like $6 that can't be good maybe I should just go for the who are you And yeah, well, you have a $6 bottle of wine. Well, you know what it is. What is it? It's because when we were going to New York. Yes. And I knew the restaurant we were going to, because we had two meals with, I'll just call them the kids, two meals with the kids.

2:05 And, um, and so I, uh, before we left, I asked the Dvorak, I said, Hey, take a look at the wine list. What should I get at this, at this restaurant? He's like, you got any, he gave me a whole script, what to say and ask for a different one. He will not let me get expensive wine. He's like, that's too expensive. No, no, no. You're going to get this one. So it's really Dvorak's fault. Oh, okay. Yeah, he's pushing me down. So down to $6.99 wine. Okay. It's hooch, man. It's hooch. It's probably a red wine vinegar. It's good. Yes, we have a lot to talk about. Oh, we do. Gosh, it's been a couple weeks. Rare to start even.

2:45 I don't remember anything before the Wednesday that we left for New York. What happened before that? Did you write anything down? I have no idea what's been going on. Where am I? What is the date today? Are we in Fredericksburg? What continent is this? Let me see. I don't, you know what? Do you have the Epstein files? Do you have the client list? Well, we had the big floods on July 4th. Remember, that was the big floods. Did we have a show after the big flood? We had a show on that Wednesday, and then July 4th was Friday, and that was when the big flood came. and it was so much devastation, so much loss of life. And we didn't do anything on July 4th because- Oh, it was completely ruined. Yeah, it was just rained and we were just worried about people.

3:25 And so the fun really didn't start until we went to Jill's to drop Phoebe off. Okay, first a little bit about the flood. For me, you know, I had a lot of contact with people in Western North Carolina. So I knew how long that was taking. I think there's still some people still not in a good permanent housing situation. Yeah, it takes a long time. And it doesn't really hit you until you are in a situation like this. Even though it's 20 minutes down the road, it's very close to home. We know a lot of people who have been affected, who have been out there, who've been helping. We've been helping the best we can in our own ways.

4:08 And it really doesn't dawn on you until you see after, you know, like a week, the news moves on. There's something else to talk about. Meanwhile, we've got people, we've got staging areas at churches. We've got people moving down, people coming in. People volunteering, going out there. Volunteering from all over the world, coming into Fredericksburg to help. And so that's something that I'm really going to keep in the back of my mind. You know, when the news moves on, but the disaster is still there. You can't forget about it because it's in our community. We shouldn't forget about any of it for anybody's disaster. It just hits closer to home because it's so close to us. It was just sad how many people were just at RV parks and children were at camps.

4:50 And then this happened in the middle of the night. We've just been praying for all the people that were affected by this. A lot of prayers going on. So with that in mind, then we got ready to go. And we took the Feeb Meister to Jill and Mike's. To the ranch. To the ranch. To the ranch. Where she immediately was happy to see Maxim Bannett and the cat and the chickens and the longhorns. It's like, oh, this is good. Until. Until. Until. Well, so Jimmy and Annette. Until. Jimmy and Annette wanted to bring their dog, Chevy, who is a very tiny white dog. I don't know. I don't know what breed he is.

5:31 but they wanted to see how he would do with bandit whose idea was that i don't know i don't know if i don't know if she'll offer like hey i can take care of chevy too i don't know i don't i don't know i just one day annette said oh yeah i'm gonna bring um chevy over when phoebe's there and i said oh okay and she said so so we were all there phoebe of course is acclimated like just like her brothers. She's groovy. She's all good. She's sleeping on the floor. We're all sitting there and Pastor Jimmy and Annette show up and they've got Chevy on the leash and they walk in with Chevy on the leash and immediately take it away, Adam. Phoebe gets up and attack Chevy. Yes.

6:13 She has her mouth around his neck. Now, if you remember when we first had Pastor Jimmy and Annette over at our house. Yeah, she had her mouth around Annette's neck. Hand. No, it was hand. So Annette was going to pet Phoebe. They were leaving goodbye and Phoebe snapped at her and it scared Annette. It scared me. And I was ready to get rid of her. I'm like, I know. You already had my gun out. You're going to shoot this dog in the head. I wasn't going to do that. I was going to find her nice. I was going to give her to a nice friendly farm. Get rid of this dog. But anyway, obviously we kept her. We sent her to boot camp. She's been rehabilitated immensely.

6:54 Yes, she has. But this was so, I mean, I was mortified. You were, yes. And it scares Annette now. Annette is scared because, number one, she tried to attack her, and now she's trying to eat her dog as a little tasty snack. Morsel. He looks like a marshmallow. Maybe that's the problem. Well, we all did ourselves no service with that. I mean, we all didn't even think about it. I wasn't thinking about it. no one was thinking about hey she took a couple days or maybe even longer to acclimate these two dogs with phoebe and she took her time like she had him on two separate parts of the fence exactly yeah and now it's just all of a sudden we have this newcomer which i mean for all who knows phoebe might have thought this is a varmint i need to protect my brothers i need to i need to grab this thing by the neck he's so much tinier than than bandit and max and of course big girl phoebe like a gerbil no he doesn't don't make no he doesn't compared to compared to comparison wise but i think yeah i mean for some reason phoebe jumped up and just just was alarmed i don't know why i was mortified at that point everybody's vibe in the room made her only that much more we kicked her out she went outside then we were like it's 90 degrees deal with it. She was okay.

8:19 But Chevy, praise God, wasn't even affected. No, he was fine. He wasn't even affected. But she wanted, she, when Annette was holding him, she was jumping up on Annette. Phoebe doesn't jump. Doesn't really jump much. She doesn't jump. So I don't know what it was. It just wasn't acclimated right. It didn't work out. But to see, Jill sent us a picture of all three dogs eating. She's got them in three separate places. With the cat on the table. Two cats eating up on the table and Phoebe not. She's fine. When Phoebe sees a cat on our property. Oh, no. She wants to go through the glass almost. She becomes spastic. Yes. Notice that now she's in our room. She's in the studio again with us.

9:01 And she's been laying outside in 87 degree heat. It's been good for her. It's good for her to go have a play date with these two. And she's an easy dog. I mean, she's an easy dog for Jill. Easy. Yeah. We feed her the same food that Jill feeds her, Max Bandit. And Jill's just chill. She's just chill. But you took her to the vet today. Yes. So we've been giving her a farmer's dog, which was upon recommendation from Joe Rogan. He says, what's his dog's name? Major? Marshall. Marshall. He says, this dog is so much better for him.

9:44 And it kind of makes sense, you know, when it's like, okay, this is actual food versus processed stuff that who knows how long it's been sitting around. And Phoebe is excited to eat. And she's now 91.7 pounds. I know. So she has lost almost 30 pounds. Since we porked her up. Yeah. Yeah. Which has been a while. We porked her up. We really porked her up. Porked her up big time. Her poor legs were breaking underneath the body weight. She seems fine, you know. She seems pretty good. Yeah. So we're real happy with that. We're real happy with that. She's got her summer body. And also just to know that we can drop her off at Jill and Mike's house. I know. How good does that feel? I know.

10:25 It really makes a huge difference. And I love that we're going to take him out to a nice dinner. Yes. Because she will not accept a dime from us. So we just throw gifts at her. Here, here, here's some bottles of wine. Come join us for dinner. Yeah. And she sent us videos of Phoebe. Another thing. Like you, you can't get a boarding place for a dog that actually does that for you. You know, look what they're doing. Look how much fun she's having. And, uh, and look, she's there, all three of them are chasing off a deer and yeah, it's real good. And there's Phoebe always like coming up the, you know, the last one. She's like, come on Phoebe. And Phoebe's like, here I am, here I am. Yeah. So we, we, yeah, we are very, very blessed to have Jill to help us with Phoebe.

11:09 So yeah. So we dropped off on Wednesday and Thursday. no, we dropped off on Tuesday and Wednesday. We were off to off to New York. Off to New York. And we had great travel favor. It was super easy. We did. That was so nice. Getting to Austin, getting on the plane. I had the studio. They didn't even look at the suitcase. No, we sailed through TSA. It was great until we got to JFK. And we're like, let's just take a taxi. Oh my gosh. JFK's a nice airport though. They must have redone it, right? They've redone it. That was Elise's recommendation. And I don't bother just hopping a cab. It was humid. It was 90 degrees. There was a line. You had a hoodie on?

11:49 I had my hoodie on. Of course. I'm like, you know, let's see. Because you have to take a, because they're rebuilding, you have to take a shuttle bus to where they pick up for the Uber. To the baggage claim. All worth it. Oh, no, no, no. To the Uber. We had to take a shuttle bus to the baggage claim once we got our bag. Oh, well, there was that. We walked right out and the taxi was long, but we had to take a shuttle bus. because they moved them because of all the construction. Yes. And once we got in the Uber, it was about an hour and 15 minutes. Midtown Tunnel, very familiar trek in for me, looking at the city skyline. Nice hotel south of Houston. Houston. Which here in Texas is like Houston, but okay. Houston. We say Houston. Yes. Got to the hotel. We got upgraded. And my stepdaughter was there waiting for us.

12:31 She came right in. We went out to a really quick meal at a small little restaurant. Remember the name of that restaurant? No. Oh, princes. Little prince? Little prince? Something like that. Really small, maybe 15 tables or something like that. There's so many restaurants in New York. Oh, yeah. It's crazy. And everywhere you walk, it smells like weed. Oh, it's a big bong. New York is a bong. Big bong. No kidding. Everywhere, everywhere there's smoke and weed. Yeah. It really is true. But it was really nice to be able to spend two-on-one time with the police. And I set up the studio. I'm like, come on, babe, let's do a show. I'm not doing a show. It's my birthday week. I'm not doing a show.

13:12 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. And then what? So then Thursday you did the show and at least that I went shopping. We went shopping. What is wrong with this picture? I'm always working at the hotel. Because you let that allows me to go shopping. Yeah. Yeah. And then we had lunch. And of course I ordered a bottle of Prosecco. So we drank the whole bottle of Prosecco. I was just drinking water and coffee. And you just had water and coffee. I'm sorry. Just water and coffee. But Elise and I were in a store and all of a sudden my phone rings and I'd look and it's Sir Brian. And I'm like, why is he calling me? Why is he calling? Yeah. So me, I pick up the phone and I go, are you okay? Like, what can I do in New York? He goes, no, I'm just calling to wish you a happy early birthday. Oh. Oh my God. I know.

13:52 It was funny because he never, ever. And it was funny because he never called me. He'll text you 50 times a day, but he won't call. Oh my gosh, they won't leave me alone. so yeah so it was really nice to spend the the day with elisa it was just me and her and of course i like to take her shopping when's the last time you saw her in person when she was here last summer so it's a year ago about a year ago yeah remember she left right after your birthday yeah almost a year ago wow yeah yeah and so that was fun and then we you went to her apartment you hadn't seen her apartment no i walked to her apartment yep that was nice she has a rent-controlled five-story walk up. I know. And it's hot in that stairwell. Yeah. But her apartment's cute. Yeah, that was great for young people.

14:33 So when I went there and I go, oh, can I see Maggie? That's her roommate's name. Can I see Maggie's bedroom? She goes, yeah, you can look, but don't go through her stuff. I go, I'm really going to go through her stuff. I was thinking about it. That's probably just something that she's used to saying when other people say, oh, can I check out the the whole apartment and don't go through the stuff right i don't think it was because she thought you would go through the first one to admit that she goes through everybody's medicine cabinet she does she sure does yes she like yeah of course i check it out that like ellen who says yeah if somebody texting next to me and it their phone is in the open i have every right to read what they texting I like really Is it of any good So then that night after you did the show we went to Pestice Yeah, which is where Elise used to work.

15:25 Right. Right. Right. And that's when you pulled out your script from John C. Dvorak. It was perfect. It was perfect. Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Let me get the psalm. Let me get the psalm. Sounds like you know what you're talking about. Oh, yes, I do. Yeah, exactly. It was a loud restaurant, but very, very New York, very good food. What did you have again? I had a burger and mashed potatoes. I didn't want fries. I wanted mashed potatoes. I didn't even finish it. I was so full. I had the beef bourguignon. Here's the thing. You guys, you and Elise, you like to order appetizers. I mean, so we get three, four appetizers, and I eat off of that, and I'm too full. Well, you don't have to. Well, it's sitting in front of me.

16:05 I'm hungry. Elise and Adam know how to eat, man. Remember, when she was still in Austin, I'd say, let's go out to dinner. Your mom's out of town. Let's go out to dinner. You choose. And she knows how to choose a restaurant. I know. Believe me, I know. Very well. But we were so nice. So her ex-roommate, Mackenzie, joined us, and her new roommate, Maggie, joined us. And Mackenzie is, let's be honest, fourth daughter. Yeah, she's our fourth daughter. We love her. And Mackenzie has a new puppy, Nina. She's a little chihuahua. It's my God, doctor. Yes. And we, I bought Nina a little pink raincoat. So then she, so we, we proceed to tell the story about Phoebe almost eating Chevy as a snack. And Mackenzie starts to tell us the story about how there was, I don't remember whose dog it was a big dog. I don't know if it was a golden retriever. It was a big dog.

16:57 and then the grandma they had the grandma's dog and it was an older dog and little like white dog little old and the big dog swiped at the white dog and the white dog's eye popped out that's a horrible story i know she goes yeah well they just i go what did they do they put the eye back here. I forgot about that. She's like, no. They took it out and had to sew the eye shut. I go, did he have an eye patch? Mackenzie is just fabulous. That was so funny. That was so funny. She's a good daughter. I know. Yeah, she's lovely.

17:37 And so is Maggie. When I really got a chance to get to know Maggie, too. Her roommate. Elise's roommate. Very smart. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I'm glad Elise hangs around with really smart. Hangs around with smart women. Because Elise is smart too, and she needs to be around that love. Yeah, for sure. So that was fun. But afterwards, Elise is like, let's go over to the Restoration Hardware bar. And to me, it's like- Restoration Hardware is furniture. Yeah, isn't that a furniture place? She goes, they have a champagne and caviar bar in the basement. I'm like, oh. So we go, who knew, right? And by the way, Tina, for all the drinking you don't do on this show- I drank a lot. You caught up pretty well.

18:17 You sure did. It was, so imagine it's kind of like a glass and metal, goldish metal. Opulent. It was very opulent. Very classy. But kind of like a gangster hideout in the basement. Yes. You know, it was like a little clandestine feeling. But very classy though. And our server, Cy, he was from London. So we're talking about soccer. Very nice, nice looking young man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And we're like, soccer? Yeah, we just watched Ted Lasso. We know all about it. I know all about it. Because he said something about Manchester. He said, he named the team. Yeah, Man U. Oh, wasn't that on Ted Lasso?

18:58 Hey, I know because I'm throwing out names like Johan Cruyff, Nayskens, you know, Wesley Snyder. I know all these guys. Wesley Snyder. Wesley Snyder. And Deja is for y'all. I taught Tina a little Dutch last night. We were doing a little DJing last night. I'm like, remember that song, 10 CC? I'm not in love. And of course, so you said, yeah. We're in the bedroom. Yes. Yeah. What did I say? No, and you said, yeah, I used to play it at Countdown. Veronica on the radio. Veronica, yes. And then you played it for me. And then you said, right before the song starts, you go, this is what I say. And Deisa is for y'all.

19:40 I'm like, Deisa is for y'all. Which means, and this one is for you. And this is for you. That got you laughing. I was cracking up laughing. So I could just hear you saying that. Nothing like laughing. It's a quarter to 11 at night and we should be sleeping. But anyway, so yes, it was really nice. We went down, we had a bottle of champagne. I was so full and you ordered all this caviar. Well, not all this caviar. But you ordered caviar and, you know, it comes with the little bellinis and the potato chips and the onions and the egg and the creme fraiche. It was fantastic. It was fantastic. We celebrated your birthday, baby.

20:21 We were doing it right. It was fantastic. We were doing it right. But who knew that Restoration Hardware had a place like that? I had no idea. I didn't either. Somebody had told us about the restaurant. I can't remember who. I didn't know anything about it. I did because somebody said, oh, yeah, they're really nice. And I remember seeing a picture. I cannot, for the life of me, I can't remember who showed me that picture. but I love Elise's friends so Mackenzie, Maggie and of course Megan, we met Megan, her girlfriend and she was really really lovely too but Megan was she was talking at and by the way, it's my job to be the pod father and to show everyone a good time I take this very seriously I'm sure that that's what Elise wants I could tell she says sometimes her parents which is really sweet It's really sweet that she says that.

21:13 But I liked her friend Megan a lot because we were talking, Megan, she's kind of this no nonsense young woman. And she goes, yeah. She goes, when people come up to me and say, hey, can you take my, can you take our picture? She goes, I go, no. She goes, I don't want to. So I say, no, I don't want to take your picture. She's honest. That's for sure. She will tell you what she's thinking. I love that. I love that. So it was a good, it was a good, that was Thursday night. And then Friday was my actual birthday. Yes. And so we didn't do, you and I just kind of hung out. We walked over to Lisa's apartment. Whoa, hold on. You skipped over the whole morning. Oh, yeah. Oh, we had breakfast in our room. And you gave me my birthday gift.

21:53 Yes. Which was, you hand wrote a love letter for me. Which is a lot of work for me. Yes, I know. It took me quite a while to write a page and a half. I know. Without skidding off the page or going into completely illegible letters. I know. I know. A for effort. That was really, yes. A for effort. And the letter was actually beautiful. Yes, the letter was absolutely beautiful. That's what I wanted. You said, because I just got the new car and I'm like, I don't need anything. I just got the car. Write me a love letter. You said, okay. It was more work to write you a love letter than buying you a gift. Was it? Yes. But I was happy to do it. I'll do it every year from now on.

22:34 And I got so many happy birthday wishes and so many thoughtful texts. It was really, really made me feel special. Yeah. And then during the day, we went over to Lisa's so you could see her apartment. We had lunch with Mackenzie and Lisa. I had to rest for a minute once we were up in her apartment. Yeah, because you climbed five stairs. Well, also, I had my blue jeans on, my boots. I had- You had a shirt on. I told you, wear a t-shirt. And you're like, no, I need to wear a shirt. It was soaking wet by the time. I wanted to look good. And so then when we get back to the- I don't look good in t-shirts. We're at the restaurant. You go, we're going to take a cab back. I go, no, we're not. We're walking back. I walk all the time. She's punishing me. I walk all the time. She's punishing me. You were missing your three walks a day with the dog.

23:16 I was. Yeah. Yeah. And it was good. Again, lots of weed. Lots. A lot of contact. My goodness. Jeez. That's actually, that's kind of disappointing. Yeah. You know, obviously I'm not against weed, but just like, oh man. It's just everywhere. It's prevalent. It's so prevalent. 90 degrees. I mean, as a former smoker, I didn't want to smoke and get high outside with 90 degree weather. No, no, this is, I don't understand that. I just don't understand that. Yeah. So, um, we had plans to meet up with your friend. Oh, JB. Yes. Yeah. Now, JB, I've known, he was the first person who welcomed me off the plane when I came to work for MTV.

24:02 Yes. And I had not seen him for 10 years. Yes. And he's a very typical New York entertainment dude. Very much so. Yes. And so we met him at the, what was it? The, what hotel bar was it? Crosby Bar. Crosby Hotel Bar. Yes. And go ahead, Kara. No, go ahead. Talk about your friend. Well, it was nice to catch up, but it was so interesting that he immediately came out with, I got a great idea. Because, of course, he knows we're Christians. He's like, Ten Commandments vitamins. He said it was his wife's idea. I'm like, I'm all in. This sounds great.

24:42 Thinking, nope, I'm never going to participate in that. It was kind of odd. So every day there's a commandment on their vitamin pill and they read the pill and then take, I'm like, I go, there's got to be more to it than just taking a pill. You have to really study the God's word. I would say in general, it was kind of interesting that he was from the old world that I used to be from, you know, show business, entertainment. And that really doesn't interest us. Well, what was interesting is he immediately said his wife was 24 years younger than him. He said he bought a castle up in, where did he live?

25:23 Larchmont. He lives in a castle up in Larchmont. He talked about doing big events for very, very big people. That's what he does. And then he mentioned Taylor Swift, and I go, Taylor Swift is Satan. He goes, what? What? He said, well, she- I was two glasses of wine in. There are a lot of people who don't like her anymore. But look, I got a selfie with her. Yeah. He was very nice, but he was. Yeah. When he started saying stuff like he loves Barack Obama, I was like, you lost me there, dude. OK, I can't. I can't. I'm like, Adam, drink up or out of here. I'm just like, I love JB. I don't care what is whatever he thinks. He just thinks very differently than I do.

26:04 But he was he was pleasant. He was nice. He is a a he's a guy that you want organizing your big event. that's what you want him for. Yeah. It was good to see him. I'm glad that I at least got to see him. Yes. It's been 10 years. Yes, exactly. It's been a long time. Exactly. And then after that, we went to Ralph Lauren's American Bar restaurant. What'd you think of that restaurant? I thought it was okay. It was okay. It wasn't a lot of Ralph Lauren-ish stuff there. It was just, but yeah, it was a good location. We did have a nice table. Yes. And I had been in cahoots with Elise for two weeks. Yes. About getting you the correct cake. Yes. And making sure that the restaurant knew about it. Because if you don't arrange that ahead of time, they'll be like, well, no, we can't.

26:47 You got to pay a fee. Cutting fee or something. Yeah, you got to pay a fee. And so she, and of course, this one had to be kept relatively cool. Oh. Because it was the buttercream. Oh. And so they went early with the cake. So she was stressing about it. Was she stressing about it? Because I was all over her butt about it. I'm like, this has got to be right. Show me the cake. What does it look like? did you taste it? Is it good? She did well. She did a good job. She did well, yes. And it came out with a Roman candle and everything. Yes, it was very nice. It was nice. It was a good restaurant. I wouldn't say it was fantastic. I thought Pestis was better. Yeah. Actually. Yeah. Or even the restaurant, the Little Prince, I thought was equal, equal as Ralph Lauren.

27:28 But, but no, it was, it was such a lovely birthday. Yeah, it was good for the birthday dinner. Everything was great. And then we went back and we went to one bar called Joy Face. And it was like going back into the trip of the 70s. Well, what I've noticed in general, the music in every restaurant and the club, it's all 70s and 80s music. Yeah. Is that what the young people are listening to these days? I don't know, but I liked it. Hey, speaking of music. Yes. I think we need to play a song. Oh, the AI song. That's in the value verse. It's in the value verse. that Randy Black sent us because yes, it's AI, but he did write the lyrics himself.

28:14 Okay. Should we play it? Yeah, are you going to play the whole thing? It's only a minute 45 seconds. Oh, it is? I thought it was one. Okay, yeah, play it. She's the keeper. Yeah. He's the podfather. Podfather, yeah. He runs a house. Maybe. In the hill country heat with a glass of red Talking faith, life, and what the preacher said She's the keeper Got the truth and the sass He's the podfather still kicking podcast Wine, clothes, TV house They're keeping it real with Texas style Curry and the keeper Love laughs and a little bit deeper Rocking through life with a bottle and a beat Sharing the good news and what's cooking to eat Yeah, it's real.

Yes, if you always want to listen to a song about us, it'd be great. Of course. Of course. I mean, you just have to listen to a song about us again. Phoebe has the last word. Phoebe has the last word. Usually. Beautiful, brother. Thank you. Yeah, that was nice. Love that a lot. But at the end of the birthday night we went back to that Joyface bar and I had a shot I had a lemon drop shot Like who was I I was not So we woke up on Saturday I'm like, I am not eating till Monday.

30:32 You said that every morning. I'm not going to eat anymore. I woke up full. I woke up full. Yeah. Yes. But we met more of her friends and more of Elise's friends. The one that works for Tory Burch. We met her. Very smart lady. Yeah. That was nice. And it was a great weekend. It didn't end on a great note though. It didn't? No. Because... What did I do? No, you didn't do anything. So Elise had purchased something for me and I forgot to take it from her on the night, the last night that I saw her. So this is Saturday... This is the crappy kid department. So Saturday I text her and she texts me back and I said, okay, we're going to stop in...

31:13 I'm going to have the Uber stop at your apartment. I'm going to, if you can run down the thing you bought me and I will, um, I'll, um, just grab them from you. And then we're going to go off to the airport. She's like, sure. Okay. So I text her. I'm like, we're on our way. Nothing. Don't hear from her. Now we've shared locations. So I can see she's in her apartment. Yes. I'm ringing the doorbell. Nothing. I'm calling. Nothing. Ringing the doorbell, calling, ringing the doorbell, calling. I'm like, I cannot believe this. are you kidding me? And so I ended up leaving without the thing that I bought. I was not happy. And she was pretty remorseful.

31:54 Well, she had fallen asleep. She'd fallen back to sleep, yes. I'm like, I lost all faith in humanity. Well, momentarily. And then, of course, we got to the airport. It was Saturday, TSA training day. So they had to open up everything I had, put everything back through. And you're just like, well, that's going to blow up the plane. I know I gotta keep my mouth shut I was like easy does it tiger it's okay it's training day look we're well on time for the flight it's gonna be okay yeah and then so then we're on the plane you know those delta sky lounges though are pretty nice that was very nice so we're on the plane and here's what you never want to hear on the plane ladies and gentlemen do we have any person with the medical qualifications.

32:44 We need you in row 23. This is what you don't want to hear on the airplane. And you're like, oh, no. Like, oh, that's horrible. And independent from each other, we both prayed for this person. Yes, we did. Because I saw you like, oh, I just prayed for this person. It's like, we're the spiritual first responders. Like, okay, I've seen Pastor Jimmy do this. Like, right away, pray for this person, pray for this person. Yes. And, you know, so we couldn't really see what was going on. But we got to the airport in pretty good time in Austin. Yeah. And the pilot even said, hey, you know, that was kind of cool because I got to fly really fast.

33:24 And there must have been 15 medical people, EMS, EMT, fire guys. I mean, they immediately pulled up to the gate. The door was immediately open. And I was like, bonus. She was okay. She walked off the plane. She just fainted. She was okay. She walked off the plane. But I was like, wow, we got here quick and the door opened and we're out. That's something we need to remember. I'm sorry. My wife just fainted. Can you make the plane go a little faster? I'll stick my tongue out. Please make the plane go faster. Anyways, we're happy that she was okay. It was a really nice trip, but we always love coming home. Yes. Yes. And then Jill and Mike brought Phoebe back and I think she was happy to see us.

34:07 Yeah. She just passed out on the floor. She's so tired from everything. But I wanted to say when I got home, there was a couple boxes at the front door. And I wanted to comment about the gifts that I received. So we received this. I received this beautiful charcuterie board from Donna, from Donna Crawford. Unbelievable. I was. You were blown. I've never heard you like this. You did not. You were not about this, about my love letter. No, no. charcuterie board way up here love letter about midriff high yes it's so beautiful and she had it even says curry and the keeper and the date of our very first podcast is on it it's so beautiful i don't even want to use it did you post the picture of it no i didn't no it's fantastic it is really and i i so i i sent her an email profusely thanking her it was one of the best gifts i've ever gotten it's so beautiful yes and then dame christina pearl sent me a gift what did she send you oh she sent me a hoodie she sent me a hoodie i walk out and you're looking at you're standing looking at me and the first thing i think is oh crap what did i do wrong what did i forget don't you see anything uh and i'm looking at your face like i always do and you say look at this hoodie it's a nice hoodie by the way it's a beautiful hoodie and you go that's really a gift for me really. I'm like, I think it is.

35:35 It's a gift for me because you're wearing it. It makes me feel so good. Thank you. I will wear it when it gets colder. Good job. Well done. She's my sister. And then I got beautiful gold earrings from Annette that I wear all the time. I wear them all the time. So it was a beautiful, beautiful birthday. But it's not over. We're meeting girls for champagne next Thursday. What? Yeah, six twists. It just keeps on going? It keeps on going. Won't drink on the show. No, I drink around the show. Something very wrong with that. Vineyard Nation. What should we call it? Bone Dry Nation. Bone Dry Nation?

36:15 No. I'll drink again. I've just been drinking so much. That's what you keep saying. You never do it. You never do it. Hey, we got a nice note from Dame Sarah. Did you see that note? I did. Do you want to read any of it? I want to read some of it, yes. because she says Dame Sarah of the Fraser Valley. And she says she was a longtime listener of No Agenda. And when we started Curring the Keeper, she started listening right away, starting at episode one. And she's witnessed our transformation. Yes. And she dropped a little bit behind. She was kind of overboard, but then she started to catch up on everything again. And she said, here's what she said.

36:57 I wanted to start at the beginning. I've been working my way through episodes in order. It's kind of neat to listen from the future and hear about and remember things that happened so long ago. I'm enjoying listening to the stories of your early days of dating, Adam kicking the tree, the plastic succulent, your pool and garden woes, Phoebe stories, Tina sauna, sauna, your bag, your hot box, 75 hard challenge, the seven habits book, the people and friends you met when you first moved to Fredericksburg. And most of all, your faith journey and hearing how you landed a bridge church. I'm looking forward to listening more and eventually getting completely caught up. And the thing she says, one thing I'm realizing is I listen to both No Agenda and Curring the Keeper is how podcasts end up developing into what feels like a one-sided friendship.

37:40 It seems so strange in some ways to feel like I know you both so well, yet you have no idea who I am. I find myself responding and interjecting in your conversations as I listen, knowing that you can't hear me. Which, by the way, is what Tina does every single Sunday and Thursday when she's listening to No Agenda. You're yelling at your phone because you've got it wrong. I text you. You text me. I text you. You're saying it wrong. Anyway, God bless you both. Thank you for your courage, Dave Sarah of the Fraser Valley. Thank you, Dave Sarah. That's very, very nice. Yeah, I love that letter too. I love that email. That was really sweet. A couple other things. What do you got going on? I got nothing. I have absolutely nothing. You have absolutely nothing?

38:21 I got nothing. I have nothing because I was there with you the whole time. You wrote it all down. Good to go. except for tonight yeah tonight which you know we should have just been home oh getting the show ready yes but they said well pastor jimmy and annette and their kids are in town uh with the grant with the grandson yes the new seven seven month old grandson very cute cutest cutest baby we're gonna go eat with them at what's the mexican place fajita street which is a great mexican restaurant comfort so okay yeah that's cool we'll go because they're leaving on saturday So let's be able to get a chance to just hang out with them and, and, you know, see the kids and the grandkids. And this is good.

39:02 And so you and the girls went in your car. Yes. And the boys. So me, Mark and you, pastor Jimmy and Caitlin went in his car. Kylan went in his car and we roll up to the restaurant and there's your car parked on the yellow line in between with two spots, straddling two spots. Like, who do you think you are? You are a rude. You are that douchebag. I'm that douchebag. You are horrible. I know why. Because, oh, I don't want anyone to ding my car. It's brand new. And we're taking pictures of it for the newsletter. Like, you are that horrible person. It just, everything about it says, D to the oosh to the bag.

39:42 Wow. And I said, I proudly, I proudly say that. I don't trust anybody near my new car. Because people, and even Pastor Jimmy goes, that first ding is the hardest. Why don't you just kick a ding in it? No. You'll be over. It'll be done with. It'll be done with. No, I take care of my cars. You know I do. It was a great dinner, only to be topped off by the baby having explosive poop and puking. That was awesome. Because it wasn't our kid and it wasn't on us. It was great. And I didn't have to clean it up. It was great. I was like, oh, I can't even look at it. We're looking at it. No, I was like, yeah, I remember those days. Exactly. That was perfect. Yeah. That was fun. That was nice to spend time with them.

40:23 um a couple of the things yeah those so i met you know i meet clarence on my walk you know clarence is the guy that's like hey you're the you're the woman that prays the guys who picked up the the trash no clarence clarence is the old man that's walking while i'm the guy oh he did he picked up the bottle i listened to the show okay all right okay um so i he was talking to this one woman and he's like, hey. Does he know your name? No. He goes, how's your walking going? Because the first time he said, I guess how old I am. And I'm like, oh, 79. He's like, I'm 89. And he can walk strides. And so I finally asked him, I said, what's your name? And he said, his name is Clarence.

41:06 So now I see Clarence on my walk in the morning. He knows me as the woman that prays. So we had that. So that was kind of fun. And then I have tooth woes. You have what? Tooth woes. I had a tooth woes. A woes, tooth woes. I have a huge pocket in my tooth. And now I'm in Adam Curry's world. Welcome to the club. I had to order a water pick. I'm like, ugh. And the only reason you don't like the water pick is you don't just want anything sitting on the counter in the bathroom. I don't like stuff on my counter. So we had to go through the whole, well, how about this one? It's tiny. It's portable. You can pack it away so nobody sees it. So you don't have to look at it.

41:47 But this is what I don't understand. So you brush your teeth first. What's the process? Okay, here's the process. Now you have a bridge and this is where you have the pocket. I am an expert. Listen to me. Hear me now, believe me later. Okay. First, you use the little brushes. What little brushes? I don't ever use little brushes. Don't you get the little brushes? For where? Underneath the bridge? Yes. Okay, I do that already. Okay. With a little brush. Yes. Do you have the little brush? What color brush? It's white and green. Okay, you need a red. Why? Because it's smaller and it can get in there. Mine's pretty tiny. The pocket is out of my back molar where the bridge sits on. But while you're at it, do all your teeth. Just do that with that, okay?

42:28 Brush them first. No. Or little brush. Be little brush. Little brush first. Next, floss. Because now you've already loosened stuff up. Now you flick a flock of floss, right? Then, water pick. Now, water with a squirt of hydrogen peroxide. This is the tip from Maverick. Okay. Because that takes care of any, just a little bit, any bacteria that, I'll show you how much, that may, you know, it just eats bacteria away. Then you brush. Are you kidding me? And then if you're me, then you go after that with the Sonicare brush. I'm not doing all that. This is why you're almost asleep by the time I get to bed.

43:08 I'm like, I'm doing this whole regimen. It is wax on, wax off every night for me. Take the makeup off. Take the eye makeup off. Wash your face. Moisturize your face. Floss your teeth. Brush your teeth. Water pick your teeth. President Joe Biden had the right idea. Just get a mask. Yes. And then put the eyelash serum on. Then put the frownies on. Then put your pajamas on. Then go to bed. And then I come in like, here's your chapstick. I know. I know. Here's your chapstick baby. Okay, yes. So I have teeth woes. Yes. Sorry to hear that. And the only other thing I wanted to talk about is how you didn't invite me to go to Glenn Beck with you.

43:50 Well, since you don't know his name, I didn't think it was appropriate. Glenn Beck. So Glenn Beck invited me last minute to come join him on the 22nd. He said, Regis, I mean, Adam. This is why I don't invite you. And so I was like, oh, maybe Pastor Jimmy will go with me. Like, no, they're on vacation. They're going to be out of town. I said, well, let me see. but why don't I invite to, I think, did you say Brent? Yeah, I said, I think you should invite Brent. This is a great idea. And so I called him and he was like, why are you calling me? You go, yes. Yeah. Yeah. And then we're on the couch watching TV. No, so you invite him and he goes, no way.

44:32 And you go, way. I hear that on the phone. Way. And then, well, he's new in town, you know. We really like him a lot. They're great. I love his wife. I love his wife and I love him too. And he needs dude friends, you know, so let me be his dude friend. Well, it'd be fun for him. And he's a tech guy. He's into all that stuff. Exactly. So all the right reasons. Then we're sitting down, we're watching TV, we're watching Stick. Yeah, great show on Apple TV. Yeah, Owen Wilson and Marc Maron, of all people, who I don't really like as a podcaster. I think he stopped doing his podcast. Oh, did he? I think he gave it up, yeah. And then I... I did not. That's exactly what it's not. I did not.

45:12 Yeah. You chose Brent above me I would have liked to have gone I'm like what is this I'm the one that I said to you though I said you know what I didn't even think about Going with you After you tortured me for a good 15 minutes You don't have to do this I very sensitive to these things That what happens when you married to Tina Curry It time for Tina God Shot All righty then everybody We're all waiting to hear Tina's God Shot. Okay. Well, it's been a trying couple weeks. There's a lot that's been swirling around.

45:54 I think this was in our couple's devotional this morning. It's Ephesians 4, verse 29. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as good for building up as fits the occasion that it may give grace to those who hear. And it's just a reminder. I'm not going to go into a whole story, but it's a reminder of be careful of what comes out of your mouth because what's in your heart comes out of your mouth. And words can really hurt you. And I've witnessed people getting very hurt by words. And it's just good to remember, you know, that corrupting talk does not build people up.

46:39 And just be careful about what you say. I mean, think about what you say and approach it from love because that's what God wants. I think even in there was a bit of a line of James 1, 5. Was it? quick to listen, slow to speak, even slower to get angry. Yeah. Yeah. And I think we've been very good at that. We have been. Yeah. Yeah. Except for, you know, this whole Glenn Beck thing. Yeah, that's your fault though. You really hurt me with those words. I feel a little bit damaged. I said it was as much my fault as... Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. After the fact. But anyway, I just want to just remind people that, you know, if it's not coming from love, that really just be careful what you say. And also, when somebody says something to you that isn't pleasant, that realize that it's what's coming out of their heart.

47:25 The mouth speaks what the heart is full of, and you just have to, that's Luke, I think, 645. But it doesn't mean that people can't repent and can't change. Of course, of course. And you also have to forgive. But this was a big, big lesson for me. And it's a big lesson. And just so happened to be the devotional this morning. It's a good reminder because I think we get into our flesh. When we get into our flesh, we are not being Christ-like. We are not living the fruits of the Spirit. So it's a big lesson. So that's my God shot. Oh, look at you. Now it's time to hear from the cocksuckers. I'm a professional.

48:06 You are? I'm a forensicator. We got to hear from those cocksuckers now. Yeah, what did you say? What did you say? What did you say? Now it's time to hear from the Cokes of... We got some stuff in the P.O. box, actually. We did. Which is very nice. We love in the value for value model. We love time, talent, treasure. Craig Weinberg doing art for us. Did he do the art?

And we love getting boostograms and stuff through the PayPal and through the Fountain Stripe donations.

48:54 But the P.O. Box is always fun. And you came home today and said, I've got boxes. Yes. So I wanted to talk about that real quick. So I got two awesome hats from Ranch Wife. and they have a website ranchwife.com but we don't know who sent them i don't know the name but i have who they are oh not they're just a little description is it from them is it from the ranch oh okay and they're in the hill country we're in the hill country uh hold on i don't know it just says texas hill country okay but this is what i love about yeah it says the rolling landscapes of texas hill country but it says at ranch wife we're committed to honoring the strength of women who balance grace with grit, creating fashion that doesn't just fit your body, but your unbreakable spirit.

49:42 From sorting cattle to cooking meals, a ranch wife wears more hats than most. That's right. She's a mother, a gardener, a bookkeeper, a chauffeur, and often a skilled hand with horses. Many mornings, she's up before the sun, sometimes even earlier than her husband. That's Proverbs 31 right there. Ready to tackle a long day's work. These women aren't afraid to get dirty or stay out late. More often than not, they're right alongside the Cowboys roping, branding, and doctoring cattle. It is, go look at their website. It's really awesome. And they sent me two beautiful hats. Nice. Like caps. And I really, really like them. So one is a vintage embroidered cap. And then the other one is a, oh, this is your hat.

50:23 This is a distressed, oh, this is your hat. Oh, it's for me. Oh, thank you. I'm a ranch wife too. Distressed dad hat, it says. I'm a ranch dad. I'm taking it though. I don't think you're going to have it. Yeah. Okay. Anyway, thank you so much. That was so kind. Yeah, they're cool looking. But there's no name, so I don't know. So send us a note.
