This is that story show where your hilarious real life stories get the audience they deserve. Hey podcast people, I’m your host. My name is James Kinison.
And I’m John Steinklobber. And this week on that story show, Colleen follows the rules but loses her dignity. Oh. Amy takes a year to find out why she couldn’t put a tent away. Why? Luella brings the homeschool drama. Emily almost dies laughing at the show. Alyssa is endangered due to a snuggly breadstick and Flash cuts in to convey a communique about a cute concourse cat.
Wow, say that 3 times fast.
I can’t even say it 1 time fast.
We always like to start with an opening story. This is called the sauna shuffle and it is wonderful. It comes from Colleen. Many years ago when I was a naive young girl in my twenties, I joined in an all-women’s Health club. Yeah, I hear about those. They’re important. It’s for safety. And they don’t get hassled by these men, these horrible
men. They don’t let the fellas in who just bring the stairs.
Yeah, Who wants that? I have the same problem with women, so I would love to have a men only gym. Because the girls are always staring at me, boy. I’ll tell you. Anyway, it was a small privately owned place, very non-frill with limited equipment and only a curtain separating the changing room from the workout space. So yeah, just a mom and pop type place, sounds cool. I was very modest, so I’d skipped the changing and I just wore my clothes that I was going to work out in to the club. They had a sauna, which I
was always curious about, but I was way too shy to even consider using. But 1 day I’m the only 1 in the club. So I think maybe today’s the day I’m hitting the sauna. I carefully read the instructions on the door. Number 1, remove all clothes. I’m out. That’s me. I’m done. Nope. Nope. Number 2, keep the door closed. Well, duh. And number 3, do not use if pregnant, unless you want to air fry your baby. And number 4, if you become dizzy or Lightheaded, pass out immediately. No, leave immediately.
Okay, I’m ready.
I’m a rule follower, so in spite of my shyness, I strip down, taking a reader’s digest with me so I’ll have something to keep me occupied. I enter the 5 by 6 foot cedar box. There are 2 sets of benches inside sort of like bleachers. So I make myself comfortable on the top set of bleachers and I begin to read while enjoying my first sauna experience. That’s all private, you know, it’s perfect.
Yeah.
A few minutes later, I hear a rustling from outside the door and then walk 2 rotund ladies with towels on, towels. The sign didn’t say you could wear towels. They sat on the lower bench below me and began to visit with each other. And my mind’s racing. My exit is blocked by these massive women. I’m up close to the ceiling, so I’m much hotter than they are. Oh, I bet you are. I didn’t mean that the way it sounded. I’m getting lightheaded. How do I get my skinny dipping self out of here? So I weigh my
options. Was that a weight pun? Do I slither out between these 2 gargantuan and toweled women, or do I sit here until I expire and bear the embarrassment of having an EMT carry me out dead in my birthday suit? I decide to live. I tore my reader’s digest in half to cover all the important bits and pushed my way through the mass of flesh in front of me. I throw open the door, grabbed my clothes, dressed and made a speedy exit never to enter a sauna ever again. Colleen, Colleen, thank you for starting our show off
so right and so wrong all at the same time.
Jeez, that was, I bet you those ladies in there are like, she must be European or something, right?
I mean, isn’t that? They were visiting about her after she left. Yeah.
Did you see her?
We did not need
her in this gym before She’s gotta be European. She doesn’t talk to nobody
just when You thought an all girls gym was safe. She felt a little too safe, if you know what I mean.
Yeah. Oh, John.
John, have you ever been, have you ever worked out? You ever go to a gym? Do you belong to 1? Do you do that kind of thing?
I, I don’t belong to a gym. I have visited a couple of gyms. In fact, when I was in college, I had an arrangement where I could work out at the gym for free as long as I volunteered my time to clean the gym.
So what kind of stuff did you have to clean?
Like all the equipment. I just would like go in and I’d wipe stuff down and you know, go clean the, just wipe, just wipe stuff down. I didn’t have to do that. Just clean the equipment.
So let me ask you this. You had some spray and you had a towel probably. What colors came off on these towels?
I don’t recall and the reason is because that that lasted me 1 day Oh, I did it 1 day. I bought the stupid shirt. It was a Gold’s gym
Oh, you buy shirt.
I had to buy a shirt That was the 1 thing so that people knew that I worked there I this is almost like a dream recalling this because I had forgotten all about this I don’t recall they kept things really clean there I do remember that because I actually did work out there once but then I was like, you know what? I’m a college student. I don’t got time for this. So why did
you quit?
If I
can’t stay fit because I don’t know really.
I just never went back. I don’t know. Maybe I still have the membership. It’s in Lakeland, Florida. I just go down there.
Oh man. Yeah. I just wondered because, you know, what are you wiping off? I mean, people sweat, you know, dead skin cells, maybe somebody’s makeup occasionally, you know, if a Tammy Faye branded woman comes and works out, you know. Tammy Faye branded. Yeah.
I don’t remember. I do remember it
was a white, like it was like a white towel, like,
you know, hand towel kind of thing.
Cause they had a bunch of those. But you didn’t make it a day,
huh? I worked there a day and I worked out 1 day.
And how much did the shirt cost?
Like 15 bucks.
Oh my gosh.
And back in the 90s, that was a lot.
Yeah. Now, at least back in the 90s, that was a cool shirt to wear.
Yeah, it was kind of cool. But, you know, I didn’t have the guns to fill it.
So then we didn’t stop a lot of people.
I probably shouldn’t have never stopped.
You know, I wore a jacket today, a piece of clothing, and somebody said, oh, that’s a nice, nice, members only jacket. And I didn’t, I didn’t know I had a members only jacket on. Really? I got it from American Eagle, but apparently it’s a members only style jacket. And they were very impressed that it had come back. I was like, I just need to get some aviators.
There you go.
And I’ll be set some bugle boy jeans, maybe.
Yeah. Bugle boys. So, yeah. You would wear bugle boy with, with, what you would call it? Members only. Yeah.
Yeah. Or dockers. Are there’s bugle boy jeans you’re wearing or are Kirk, not Kirklands. What’d they call them? Dock-siders. Yeah. Dock-siders? They were Eastlands. Eastlands. Eastlands.
Yeah. I thought those were the shoes. They are shoes. Or maybe they made pants
too. I don’t know. No, no, no. I’m talking about pants and shoes. So we got, we got, we got our Eastlands with our, our bugle boy jeans. We got a cross colors t-shirt on and a members only jacket. Cross colors t-shirt and members only jacket.
And if it gets too hot, you can put your duck head shorts on.
Oh, there you go.
Oh yeah.
That’s a vibe. It’s a whole thing. We got a review brought to you by podgagement.com. Oh no, Brett, Brett Bigler, who sent in metal finger. They got a whole episode named after him because
Oh yeah.
Jet was a majorette, no a cheerleader. And she was asked to accidentally flipping off the entire congregation because of her, her metal finger, a joint
middle metal finger.
Yeah. She says, in her review, I think the funniest thing is that the age range keeps going up. I listened to the newest episode and now it says 13 and up. And I swear that it was 10 and up before. And somewhere before that, it was family friendly. So James and John are just getting more moms saying that the podcast is too explicit for their 11 year olds, smiley face. I love this podcast so much. Thanks for the laughs, Jett. Yeah, well, you know, you age and you grow up. And I’ll tell you what, we were
promoting ourselves as a family-friendly show until we did an episode where we mentioned that Santa Claus wasn’t real. Oh, what? And I got the most hateful sets of emails you ever saw. You say you’re family-friendly, but my kids are having questions and all this. I’m like, oh crap, I didn’t know what we were stepping in. You know, I don’t want to be family friendly. So that’s when I started the 10 and up thing. Cause I’m like, if you’re 10 and up and you still believe in Santa, somebody needs to tell you no matter what your parents
say. I believe
in Santa.
So do I. And I told my kids that it’s real as long as you believe. What about the other kids? Yeah, that’s right. It’s not real for them, they don’t believe. So anyway, And then we went with 13 and up because of the rules of the internet. You have to be 13 and up to submit things and we can’t be responsible for those that are under 13. So now we, I guess, Technically, I don’t ever want to say PG-13 because there’s no way. We don’t swear. In PG-13, you get an F-bomb. You can show an exposed
backside. And I think we handled… You
can use other words
too. Yeah. We handled Colleen’s story very, very well. I think we were very respectful to the content.
Very tasteful.
Yeah, thanks. It’s artistic.
Yeah. So… Reader’s Digest was involved.
Maybe we’re G13. And maybe that’s our rap name group our group rap name. We’re G 13 G13 So anyway, thanks for the review we love reviews and you can review us all you want it review that story show calm Let’s do a news nugget All right a woman named Marijuana Pepsi from birth doesn’t smoke weed or drink soda, but will never change her name. Oh. This is a real woman, a woman called Marijuana Pepsi from birth says she’ll never change her name even though she doesn’t smoke weed or drink fizzy drinks or alcohol. Oh, wow. Yeah,
Marijuana Pepsi Van Dyke, she’s 52, was given her name by her mom, who said the name would take her around the world due to its originality. Yeah. Growing up, marijuana said she would be questioned on the moniker and whispered about, and people assumed her mother took drugs or was in prison, which was untrue. Marijuana has a PhD in higher educational leadership, works at the community college of Baltimore County, and is a founder of Action as Empowerment Center for Change. When people find out my name, they ask for my nickname and said, I said, hey, if you
can’t call me marijuana, and that’s not comfortable, you can call me Dr. Van Dyke. Boom!
But here you go.
There you go.
Meryl, doctor, Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Van Dyke. Yes, yes. I wonder if she’s gotten to go around the world with that name yet.
Oh yeah, truly. She just did. She just ran around the world.
She did through this podcast. You’re welcome, Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Van Dyke. I’d like to shake your hand.
I would. I would like that too. Let’s do some featured stories. All right, This is what you came for. Shut up, people. Shut up, James. Shut up, John. Yeah. It’s time for Amy to talk. Oh, Amy. It’s a voicemail. It’s called Tough Tent. Here we go. Let me say that again. Tough Tent.
Tough Tent.
Hey guys, it’s Amy and I am back with another story. So we go camping once a year right outside of our house. All of the girls in my friend group and we camp. And what usually ends up happening, me and my bestie clean it up. We clean up the tents. We put them where they belong so
nice
we were cleaning up 1 year and I think this was actually our first year of camping So we had set the tents up the night before and then the next day when we were cleaning them up putting them back into There we were rolling it up to get it back into its bag, and it did not fit. We were struggling and struggling.
Welcome to
camping. And finally got
it in there. That’s right.
And afterwards, my sister goes, 1 of my pillows is missing. And we were like, oh, it’ll appear. It’ll be fine. We did not find that pillow until next year. When we went camping, we set up the tent and we had packed a pillow into the tent. Oh man. Into the bag and that pillow was smushed forever. So that is the story of the time we managed to fit a tent into a pillow.
Wow, that’s impressive. That’s actually impressive because the tents never go back. They never go back in
bags unless you really you know how you’re camping. You know, you know the indicator that you’re camping with girls.
Well,
she said 1 of the pillows. That means she brought multiple.
So only 1 got unaccounted for Because they had 12. 1 of the pillows, 1
of my pillows is missing. When I go camping, I take my unused clothes and I press them together to use them as a pillow.
To a pair of boxer briefs, yeah.
That’s right. I got my socks right next to my face the whole camping trip.
She’s going glamping. That’s the difference.
Right, glamping.
I sleep on a bed of pillows. That’s my idea.
Bed of pillows.
Oh my gosh.
It does make the camping experience a little bit more fun.
The stuff never goes back in the bag.
It’s like unfolding a map
like camping chairs, you know, try to get those back in the bag. They go, but it gets hung up on every single thing along the way.
It’s not like how you get it.
No. And then
as you unpack it, it all unfolds and gets all.
I got my son this nice set of jumper cables that came in this neat little pouch. We used them the other day. Do you think they’re ever going to get rolled back up tight enough to get back in that stupid bag without popping off like some sort of exaggerated slinky. No, it’s not. So I have wasted money. Wasted money. I just need a pillowcase.
That’s almost what I’m using. You know what I’m using to hold my jumper cables?
No.
1 of those shopping bags. Not the plastic ones, but those ones that they, like the plastic conscious people
carry around. A reusable grocery bag.
Reusable, perfect, yep. And that’s what I use and it works great.
Yeah, those things are awesome
Yep, thank you Publix.
All right We’ve got some home school drama All right, this is from Luella she says this is fast food fingers Hi, I’m 13 and homeschooled and I am the oldest of 4. Heck yeah, hectic house. I know everyone says, but I love the frigging podcast. Yes, thank you. Having 2 three-year-olds and a five-month-old in the house, you can, What? That’s a lot. So twins and a 5 month old? Oh man. You ain’t got enough to do to homeschool your kids to where you’re just like, let’s have a bunch more. Let’s just have them on an annual
basis. Let’s work them into the budget. You know, this Christmas was tight, but let’s make it a little tighter for next year. Let’s bring in another little bundle of joy in that we can teach all the numbers and letters and colors to again and a freaking again and a freaking again.
It’ll pay off later in life. That’s for sure.
For them, parents get screwed. They do. We do. It’s the thankless job. But for some reason, it’s like my daughter, she got this dog. I told you all about this dog she got and we’re like, you should never get the dog. And she finally admitted. She’s like, you’re right. It was the wrong decision, but he’s my whole world now. And I’m like, that is what it’s like being a parent right there. I never should have had this baby, but it’s my whole world now. It’s my whole world. Oh, anyway. So we have a lot of craziness
going on and I have bucket fulls of stories such as my little sister throwing a block at my grandma’s eye. Oh, because she lives there. Of course she does. My little brother farting so loud he made my mom scream. Oh, geez. Send that 1 in quick. My neighbor almost burning his house down boiling down cow hooves.
All right now.
What is that for? Are you making gelatin? No, that’s horse hooves. What are you doing for sure cow hooves horse hooves? Okay.
Yeah, out of it all.
All right. And my Grandma literally melting bacon. I want all these stories.
Luella, you just gave us the biggest teaser of
the year. We will dedicate an entire episode to your stories if you send them all in at once, even though I never say that. I’ve never said send your stories in at once.
And you’ll probably recount that, but I’m standing by.
Yeah, I will. If you’d send me every 1 of those stories, I will dedicate a chunk of show to you. Anyway, here’s me story. That’s the way she wrote it. Here’s me story.
Story, I love
it. My three-year-old sister has an annoying habit of being a twin. Now, I just love how she mentions 1 of them without the other, but my three-year-old sister has an annoying habit of grabbing anything and everything off the counter or table and using it for her own good. 1 day she was in the bathroom and something on the counter caught her eye. Assuming it was chapstick, she popped off the cap and started spreading the substance on her lips. Eventually my mom came in and assessed that it was not Limb Bomb, but it was my dad’s all-natural
magnesium 24-hour protection deodorant.
Didn’t have sweaty lips for a whole day.
I will wait patiently for your thoughts. I know you 2 little angels. What? I just she’s waiting for our thoughts. So let’s get them out. I know you 2 little angels will put my story on the show, so I won’t even say I hope this makes it on the show like a wimp. Xoxo. Well, from Vermont, here’s my first thought. It the all natural crap don’t work anyway. So who cares where you put it? Right.
Yeah. Well, Here’s my thought. I think I think your little sister now has a mustache from dad’s armpit hair.
Glue them right on. Short and curly. It’s so gross. Why does
lip balm smell so funny?
It’s got some, it’s pit stash. It’s, it’s a pit stash. That sounds like the name of a show right there. The Name of an episode. Pit stash.
Well, Luluel’s little pit stash disser. I can’t talk. Forget it.
I’m done. Oh, anyway, we got another voicemail. It’s from Emily. Spelled E-M-I-L-I-E. What are you freaking people doing out there with your names? Emily’s a perfectly fine name. It was fine the way it was. Anyway, Emily, I do kind of care about your name. It’s cool. This is called Closet Crash.
Hey James and John. So This is Emily from Oklahoma and I want to tell you a story that I literally just happened 5 minutes ago. So I was listening to, I don’t remember what episode, but either way, James, You were talking about your wife and how she is when she’s tired. And you were like, and she’s some demonic baby thing or something like that. You said that. And I laughed so hard that I was in my closet cleaning it and I hit my head on this little overhang in there and I knocked forward Into my clothes
rack and the weight of me and all my dance recital clothes that were on that rack couldn’t like the bar that was holding them could not handle any more weight and it fell on top of me. Now I have to put all of those clothes back up.
All the dancer side of clothes.
I love the show. I haven’t been listening for that long, but it’s amazing. So thanks.
Keep listening. Everybody gets sick of this eventually.
Yeah, they do. We got a rotating circuit of a crowd that listeners, they like to come through and then. OK, I’ve matured too much. So
I’ll see. I’ll see after I’m through with my 20s. Yeah, we’ll be back. We’ll bring the kids with us. As soon as I hit 30, I’m back. I’ll be back. Hey, I remember that show. You guys are still podcasting. Holy crap. I’m 31 now. I mean, that happens. That really happens.
So, ouch.
Oh man. First of all, yeah, there’s something to say about all of your dance recital costumes. She’s got a closet full of dance recital costumes
that sit on a bar.
That she’s had for years. Kids grow every year. They have a dance recital every year. If you’ve got a bunch, none of them fit. You’re just keeping them for the good old times sake. And you can’t give them to the thrift store. No. Cause dance recital clothes have to match all the other kids at the dance recital. So, when are you gonna get that? When are you gonna do that? Maybe some poor kid that does, beauty con pageants, beauty pageants. But let me, let me take that back. Beauty pageant kids, poor or not, have dresses on
and dance recital gear typically looks like a One-piece bathing suit with maybe a little tutu or something going on. So no, it’s not a pro-pro So
I have no idea
Emily. I’ve got questions and no answers So if you want to follow up with another voicemail or an email, you can do that and let us know why you have so many.
Yeah. And are you a professional? Because if you are a professional, then I can understand a whole rack full of the
Dancers Idol stuff. And what do you win at the dancers? Idol? Do you get a ribbon or do you get a medal?
Or do you get a scholarship?
Do you get a, do you have trophies? Do you have a mirror, mirror full of metals? Or do you have a mirror full of badges or, or bows or something? There’s gotta
be something in it for you, Emily.
Yeah. I don’t know, just be careful. We used to have a disclaimer we played before the show. It’s true. Because people would get in trouble listening to our show on their headphones. And we have to add closet crashing.
We do, is that a new 1?
Wrapping up almost our all female episodes so far. Have you noticed? I didn’t, but now I do. Alyssa has a story called Breadstick at Bedtime. When I was 5, I was camping with my grandma and mom in the woods.
So not
in somebody’s front yard like before. This is real camping. What we were having for dinner was something with breadsticks. Okay, maybe not real camping. Breadsticks that can camp? You can camp with breadsticks?
Yeah, I guess. Unless it came from the Olive Garden.
But you know, you get a bunch of guys and they’re row rangerin’ around and they’re cookin’ up a slab of meat or some hamburger that came from a tube. You know, Real beef Franks that have no markings on them other than real beef Franks.
Yeah. And that’s a product name instead of an actual description.
There’s no labeling at all. It’s just Franks. I love breadsticks. I really got attached to things easily back then. In fact, I actually struggled with hoarding useless stuff. I’m over it now, though. Congrats. I think that’s every 3 to 5 year old, though. My kids never wanted to throw a single thing away. So we would go through their toy boxes and their clothes when they weren’t around and get their stuff out. Yeah, they never want to throw away toys.
Years later, like, what about that toy? That’s what happened to them.
Yeah, that’s where all my Star Wars figures went. So anyway, the breadstick was so good that I wanted to keep it and sleep with it like a teddy bear. And for some reason, grandma let me. Well, mom wouldn’t, but grandma would.
Grandma would let you do anything. That’s why
we love grandma more than
mom. Right.
Grandmothers are better than moms.
Oh, maybe James, that’s the secret. We just talked about parenting and how rough it is, but maybe grandparenting is where the payoff is.
That is so good. That is wisdom. That needs to hang in a bar somewhere or be on a canvas at Hobby Lobby.
I’ll work on that.
Something with some scripture, alright? Yeah. So Anyway, later in the middle of the night, my grandma and I and my breadstick are sleeping peacefully when we start hearing something sniffling and snuffling at the tent. Grandma the brave gets up and slowly unzips the flap to come face to face with a bear. Oh no. Grandma started screaming her full head off. Holy moly. She whipped around, tore my precious breadstick out of my arms and chucked it over the bear and out of the tent. Zip, went the flap and away with the bear. I was chasing the breadstick,
I’m sure. The bear never came back, thankfully, and we were both finally able to get back to sleep. So the day was saved by grandma and my poor snuggly, but apparently bear attracting breadstick. Hope this makes it on the show. Alyssa. Wait a second. A bear. A full on bear.
All right. They had to have been really grandma had to been super tired because if anybody that I know wakes up to a bear outside their tent, they’re going home immediately.
No, not if you’re scared or drunk. Grandma is not drunk as you suppose. She knew exactly what that bear was there for. She knew she was stupid to let that girl sleep with that thing. She is immediately half asleep, woke up immediately, saw the bear, said, he’s here, not for me, not for meat. He wants the breadstick. I’m chucking it out and I’m zipping up the flap and I’m praying to Jesus that all my dreams come true and my dreams do not include bedtime with that bear.
Oh, my goodness, man. Yeah. She totally yanked that thing and just
was a bedtime breadstick bear
bedtime breadstick. The bear just wanted to snuggle.
He barely wanted that breadstick. And it reminds me of Mitch Hedberg. He said he got in a fight 1 time in a tent and he walked out and had to try to slam the flap.
You can’t slam the flap.
You can’t do it. You can’t. How am I supposed to express my emotion at this particular time? So. All right. We can’t let it all be, girls. So Flash Jay from the UK writes this, the railway rascal.
Yeah.
I’ve been riding the train to London from my town of Salisbury for over 10 years, but due to some work involving the parking lot, I now have to arrive early if I expect to find an empty parking spot. Recently, I’ve discovered that a cat lives near the station, it crosses the parking lot, and then sits by the sliding doors until someone comes by to let him in. It’s McGonagall. It’s Professor McGonagall. She’s looking for the walkway 9 and 3 quarters. You don’t even know what I’m talking about. Do you? I do. Yes. Okay. I didn’t know
if you were a Harry Potter guy. I know
who McGonagall is.
Okay. She died recently.
She did. What’s her name? Betty Smith or something like
that. Something. Yeah. Something like a little girl’s name.
Professor McGonagall.
Oh, she was so good. Such a great person.
Yeah.
Anyway, so the cat is waiting by the sliding doors for somebody to let him in. Then she walks over to the ticket window and jumps up on the ledge. The station manager will open the little sliding door and put a few kibbles into the metal tray. And the cat will chase and swipe on the smooth surface trying to catch the kibbles. This can amuse both the station manager and the people in the queue for a good long while before Station Cat has to move over and let a human approach the window. After he’s had his food,
he goes back the way he came and continues his neighborhood patrol or whatever cats do. Like I said, I arrived early when I went in and I could see that station cat was sitting in the middle of the station concourse. That was the word I was looking for earlier, by the way, John. Oh, concourse. Concourse, yes. But there was no 1 at the ticket window yet. He wasn’t actually queuing up, but sitting patiently while waiting for the station manager to open the little ticket office window. I usually have something to eat on my long commute, like
a small sandwich or a mini meat pie. Isn’t he British?
I like it.
So feeling sorry for the cat, I tore off a bit of my ham from my roll and I offered it to him. He cautiously approached me and accepted the ham and even let me pat his head. And I said, that ought to hold you till the whole office opens. And then I went through the gate and I looked back and he was still watching me closely. So I waved and said, tra, no, have a good day station, catch, here we go. Nice. I looked back the way I was going and nearly ran into the station manager
who was rolling his eyes at me. He pointed at the cat and said, He’s already at his brekkie and tea ain’t for hours. Oh, man. Did I do okay? That’s the way you spelled it. Yeah. I didn’t want
to upset.
He’s already at his brekkie. I didn’t want to upset either of them. So I said, sorry. And I ran off to get my train. It made me chuckle to think Station Cat comes back several times a day to get his tea or his 11sies. 11sies! I wonder if his owner even knows about it. Hopes it makes it on the shows. She is Flash from the
UK. I thank you, Flash.
You know what I heard about the people in the UK? Is their faucets on their, on their sinks are jacked up. They have a hot faucet and a cold tap. They call them taps. First of all, not faucets, but they have 2 individual ones. And so the way I heard about this is this guy I watch on YouTube, he talks about the 12 years that he has spent in America and the things he couldn’t do without. And 1 of them was adjustable sink faucets, because apparently over there, you turn on the hot water and you wash
your hands as fast as possible before they burn off. And then you turn on the cold water and just kind of splash your hands between them to get some similance of a decent amount of water in the tub, no big deal. Cause you can micromanage each amount of water. But in the sink, I just want to tell you British people that here in the States, they make a converter. They do, that connects to both and will blend the 2 taps together on a little thing. So you can have the kind of taps that we have here
because it is wonderful to be able to switch from not so hot, you’re burning your fingers off into a warm enough to pat your face down with. So I just want to let you guys know if you need a YouTube link to that guy or an Amazon link to the product, let me know. And I included a picture of Station Cat. Did you see him there?
I see Station Cat. He’s a, I guess it’s a she because it looks like a calico, got a little orange and a little a gray and black tabby there.
And he’s sitting inside the window waiting, waiting for Kibbles for his food in the little tray that you pass money through. So I guess that’s the trick is, is he just waits for that slot to open and goes for it. We’ll make sure to put that up on Patreon for our listening or supporting listeners. And yeah, anyway, that is our show for today. We do have an announcement, stickers, key chains, hats and more available. Just go to nlcast.com and click on merch. We got shirts and all kinds of stuff. And we got a wedding theme show
coming up soon, November 21st, hashtag wedding. I had a lady, okay. She says, James, I’m a wedding planner. I have so many stories. She said, I know you have a rule against sending more than 1 a week, but can I just send them all? And I’m like, yes. She says, can I V-mail them or email them? I’m like, whatever you want. She says, I’m doing both. So I got a whole bunch of V-mails and emails from this lady. And, but we’re still, we don’t have enough for a show yet. So you still got time between now
and November 1st when we do the wedding theme show. If you have a funny story, a crazy story, a creative story, it doesn’t have to be drop dead funny.
