Ramblings of a Restless Mind

09 Restless Ramblings
===

[00:00:00]

Jenn: What's up? Hi, what it is. What'd it do? Ramblers. We are back for another fun-filled, rambling like crazy with our Restless Minds episode. I am Jen. Point five of this whole situation, and I'm joined by the other 0.5, my co-host Deja ve in

You guys, I [00:01:00] never know what she's gonna say and it's great. Like every time we started off I intro boop. Did you, then you get Deja and when I asked you in the other episode and I was like, how are you, how are you doing buddy? And you were like, hashtag blessed . I lost it. And, and surprise. So if you were listening to the previous episode, which if you haven't, go back and listen to that.

Yes. You're gonna laugh Yes. And you're gonna learn. Yes. And you're probably gonna leave with more questions than you started with. But we decided to keep Brett hostage. Mm-hmm .

Brett: It's . I just need a sober up before I drive home. They gave me alcohol and now I can't leave .

Jenn: So we wanted to have a guest perspective on the things that we're gonna ramble about today.

And we, we just wanted to make it a whole collaborative group effort. Sure. And we're gonna have Joe just rapid fire some questions at us. Yeah, sure. Send just completely random, . And see what very logical questions. I'm sure. Yes. They're gonna make so much sense.

Mm-hmm . And be very real. Mm-hmm .

Joe: All right. So what if every time you blink the laws of physics briefly stopped working,

Brett: don't they?[00:02:00]

Joe: That is

DeJah: the perfect existential answer. Yes, yes.

Jenn: I, that's a, first of all, I didn't, I didn't ever take physics, so I don't think that I'm qualified to answer that question. But di I'm, I'm gonna, I ditto to what Brett said.

Brett: I mean, you are what you perceive, right? Okay. It's true. It's true. Everything stops existing.

When I close my eyes,

Jenn: just blink really long.

Joe: All right. How do you think your life would go if your thoughts were broadcast as a public radio station? Ooh, I'd be jailed. . Yeah.

Brett: Would not, do not subscribe.

Jenn: Unfollow un. Yeah. I, I mean, some days it would be really boring. I mean, yeah, no. The days that I'm like, just stay in my pajamas, no bra and just binge tv.

Like I'm void. It's a void. Like, and those are great days.

Brett: It would just be TikTok, , just call it, it would just be the sounds of me watching [00:03:00] TikTok for like

DeJah: hours on end. I think my mind is just what TikTok is based on. Yeah, just a A DH adhd. Just flip Flo Flip. Flip.

Brett: Yeah. Or just like random quotes from movies and stuff.

Or finishing people's sentences with songs. .

Jenn: or my dog voice. My dog mom voice. Like talking to him. Yeah. There'd be a lot of that nugget turd. I call 'em turds and nuggets and . Yeah.

DeJah: also just be a lot of just endless screaming into the voice. .

Brett: not scream.

You scream inside. You don't know

DeJah: what I do for a living. Honey . I'm saying scream outside.

Brett: It's easier. Oh, I do both. Oh, okay. Okay.

Joe: All right. How would you like you to, every time you touched a book, the characters came to life and started talking to you.

Brett: Which book?

Joe: Valid question. So this is court, the, so then which book would you push or touch?

Push, push, push. . If

Brett: this was your superpower,

Joe: which book would you, which book would you be going for first? So,

Brett: so like, like do you know that you have this power [00:04:00] or is this an accidental thing? You're gonna, I think you

Joe: discover it 'cause it's time that way.

Brett: I don't like

Jenn: that .

Well I would pick Iron Flame and I would push all up on Zayden.

Like, give me all of that. Talk about pushing , push, grab,

Brett: whatever the problem, the problem is that like, stroke , the problem is that the book that I would end up grabbing would be like, like my, you know, like a manual for something. No doubt. Yeah. It'd be for my refrigerator. Yeah. It would be something stupid.

And, and like, wouldn't, so like, like I, is this like a fictional book with fictional characters? Or could be, is this like any book? Anything you pick up? Because I, I would hate to pick up a book that was written by an author that. Is still alive. Mm-hmm. And then like, you know, like JK Rowling just like appears in my room and it's like, did JK Rowling poof out of existence from where she was and come here?

Or is this another JK Rowling, which we don't need, like No, but that's the author. So the character characters. But, but what is an autobiography? Well, I was

DeJah: really thinking, I was like, [00:05:00] I have an autobiography of Thomas Jefferson. If I, does he come back to dad? I don't want him have a back dad, a like Amy

Brett: Puller's autobiography.

Like truly what happens if I, right. Is it like a, a like an angry

Joe: version that appears of her? It's a multiplicity situation. You're making multiple polars every time. Okay. I, that would be kind of fun. Hilarious. Yeah. Every time you touch. Yes, please.

Brett: I, I just am worried that I, yeah. Yes, please. Exactly. That was a great one.

Yeah. I'm just worried that I would end up . Like touching something, like finding out in like the worst way possible . That

DeJah: this was a power

Brett: of This was a power. Yeah. Especially because

DeJah: this is, you don't know you have it. Yeah. And all of a sudden you're tactally just, I would straight up,

Brett: I would pick up like animal farm or something, and then I'd just have like a Napoleon in my Dr.

DeJah: Doolittle just erupting in your

Jenn: house. Yeah. Yeah. Or, and would it, and is it just, we're listen, we're asking questions You don't have the answers to. No, I have them. You have you asked the question, I'm the Dun master, I'm the question master. Yes. Is it anything you read? So like if I pick up a newspapers, not vegan, ba box of mac and cheese, [00:06:00] like does somehow the noodles come to life?

Oh, instructions pick up like

Brett: a box of like Fruit Loops does. Like the two can come off of a box. But that's not a, that's not a book anything

Joe: with anything with a character. Think you guys are describing it. Acid trip, but

Jenn: I don't, that's, that seems so broad. Any character, so like Tony the Tiger could just pop out.

Brett: The little beef and that's Cheerios happened. You would just be living cereal inside of a cereal commercial then? Yeah, so we're back to describing my dream from previous episode. I'm so high and I'm eating these like Twix or like trick cereal and then the rabbit commercial and then the rabbit comes and like steals it and you're like silly rabbit.

Joe: You feel like just validated, you would be accidentally touching a lot of things that would come to life. Yeah. Yeah. Just in your everyday life, you can't touch anything. You

Jenn: have to be like rogue from X-Men. I can't touch shit. . Yeah, I can't touch

Joe: you.

Jenn: But basically said, sorry. It's like

Brett: I can't touch you because your shirt has like ac, CD, C on it or shit.

DeJah: Well, I, I can't touch you because I don't want your koala to come to life and I don't want chlamydia. . [00:07:00] Yeah.

Brett: Well, I mean, you Well, don't have sex. You the koala man. Listen, earlier I said it was a single lady.

Jenn: Oh,

Brett: no. Oh,

Jenn: dear.

Brett: But yeah, you couldn't touch like any of like the, like, you know, it would be kind of nice though to get like

Joe: live music, just touch an album, just

Brett: poof in instant.

Oh, no, no, no. You think that they're gonna just pop out into this studio and just start singing? They'd be like, the fuck, where am I? . They're not just gonna immediately just start like, jamming out some of these people for quite time and they're just like, poof, back into existence. They're not gonna just start serenading you.

They're like, who the fuck are you? Where the fuck am I?

Jenn: Could you imagine? I'm sorry. There's, so Joe, if I imagine. But in Joe's studio, the, the podcast studio here, he's got a few albums here on the wall for us, and one of them is Johnny Cash. Could you imagine if Johnny Cash was just like, poof from the dead back here?

He,

Brett: you know, honestly, he probably would just start singing actually for any of them. Yes. If any of them were going to just start [00:08:00] singing it immediately, it would be Johnny Cash. He'd just hand him

Joe: a guitar and he'd be off. Yeah. Yeah. Yep.

Brett: Like, I feel like, I feel like the Beatles prison, let's go . Yeah.

The Beatles probably wouldn't be as keen on that. No.

DeJah: Okay. So we got a few almost up here. The Beatles would come back, they'd start fighting. So would Fleetwood Mac? Yeah, they would just fighting Fleet Mac. Yeah. Lionel

Brett: Richie.

Jenn: He just,

Brett: hello

DeJah: In a corner. I feel

Brett: like Lionel Richie would just be real

DeJah: quiet and just like, he'd be fine.

Jenn: I mean,

Brett: he's

DeJah: a judge. American Idol now. He would be the one I'd want to just, you know, okay. Touch. Then all of a sudden, yeah, he does come out and he just starts singing. To me, that would be amazing. I,

Joe: it probably would be a lot of work to talk, talk somebody down after every time you do it. Yeah. You just wanna enjoy it.

Like, okay. But also Potter, but also where

DeJah: do you, where do you put them? Did they go, where do come from? Joe? You have a crowd of people following you.

Joe: That's not your

DeJah: problems. Big world.

Brett: But would they follow you? They'd probably like run away scared. Listen, but do they have all of the memories? I know me well,

DeJah: but they would follow me.

Brett: do they have like all the memories of [00:09:00] like every, you know, this actual one or is this like a, is this like a cardboard cutout of the Yeah,

Joe: if they're a character, they're in character. Right? If they're, they're in Charact. If it's like a, if it's a biography or something, it's the actual person. It's true person.

Actual. It's

Jenn: the actual person. But like, but to your point like to, to get back, do you have to like lay the album on the floor and they just like. Hop into the puddle back into the album. Like on the full moon with the werewolves. I don't know. No. In this case, you curb, curb stomp them back in. You do have to murder

Joe: them.

Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. Oh,

Brett: that's, that's upsetting. I wouldn't, I clean service, put some oven MITs on and never touch anything, ever again. We're

DeJah: Rogan this bitch. That's right.

Jenn: So then you would have to like never touching anything. You find certain things to touch to bring certain characters back.

Right. So I'm like, okay, you gotta murder him. Then somebody's gotta gotta go touch the Dexter books. All right. And like, bring him in. But then what do you do with Dexter?

Joe: Just get another Dexter. Just get another

DeJah: Dexter.

Brett: Oh my gosh. That's what Dexter always wants is another Dexter. Do you get like infinite?

You know, if you keep touching them. But

Joe: it's like a photocopy though. They keep getting dumber every time. . Oh [00:10:00] my gosh. Have you seen that Futurama episode? Yes. That's such a Yes. I love Futurama. That's a good one. That's a good one, yes. Wow. That that took us places. Yeah. I feel like we got all of that one.

All right. Here's the story.

Brett: I feel like there's more to be said, but go ahead, .

Joe: All right. Do you think you would lie less if every time you told a lie your wifi password changed?

Brett: Oh my God. Yes, yes. Oh,

Joe: absolutely. It's, we just found the way to make the world better, right?

Brett: Yes. Oh my gosh.

Jenn: Can

Brett: you imagine? I hate that.

My at, at work, they change our, they make us change our password like every month. And I hate it. Oh my God. And it

Jenn: can't be the same thing. And it has to be like 15 characters and like one upper case, a special letter, your blood type, like, it's just, it's, it's, I hate it. It's infuriating. I know. Yeah.

Brett: At that point, just take my blood.

Like, yeah, I don't want to change now. Just lemme use my can now can I just do a retinal scan? Like

Jenn: what can I,

Brett: my memory, my memory is getting worse and worse and worse. And I do not have, I mean, they say don't put, put like the, like sticker on your computer or everything. I put stickers [00:11:00] on my computer, I don't even care.

Yeah. Like, I cannot

Jenn: remember these Well, and I have a, like, I was like, oh, this will be helpful. I got an app that's like password safe and you put like, but how is that your accounts? But then I have to remember to go into the app to update exactly the shit like. Defensive purpose. Now we're angry. You have to break into

DeJah: my house to get my old lady notebook in its hidden location.

Okay, well you aint

Jenn: hack in that bitch, but fair. And as, as a firm, you know, your firm helping folks with probate and stuff when you pass away, like that's important shit to have written down your passwords for your accounts and stuff. Oh my god.

DeJah: Much

Brett: so, yeah. That need a notebook so much time. 'cause people don't dunno what to think.

Oh, I hope it takes them so long to get into my stuff. Like I'm a mystery. Like, do not get into my stuff. What makes

DeJah: you more afraid? Like of people finding your online computer stuff or people finding stuff in your home when you die spontaneously?

Brett: Whoa, that's a good question. I don't, I don't think I have anything like really bad.

[00:12:00] I've got some pretty embarrassing like, videos of me like trying to do comedy , so I don't probably would like, want those deleted. Oh, you

DeJah: know what, Brett actually has like a rubber chicken collection and she's got 3,700 in one closet. Right? 30, like 3,700 . Yeah.

Brett: So that is a, an expensive hobby. Listen,

DeJah: goals, ,

Brett: like No, no.

I, I, there's literally, I don't think there's anything that I have that I would be great. No, I'm just fascinated

DeJah: by that. 'cause like have, if you ever watched shows like hoarders or like when, you know, like things when people die and then they're like, family comes in, they're like, holy shit, you shit. Yeah.

Uncle Bob was a freak. .

Jenn: Well, I would say like my, when mom

DeJah: don't care

Jenn: that,

DeJah: talk about dad, we had

Jenn: some family members pass away and my mom and I guess aunt were like going through, like trying to find a, a marriage certificate or something and they had, they were going through sub boxes and they happened to open a box and it was a box just full of dildos.

Oh, that doesn't bother me. Right. And, but they, but I think it was just a humor relief [00:13:00] for them, right? Like, they're in like serious mode. They

Brett: lost loved ones. Honestly, I'm about to start collecting rubber chickens just based on this conversation. I'm so happy to inspire. I want, I feel like now that all my stuff is boring.

Like I, now, I want people to find that'll like, make them laugh right now. They're just gonna be like, wow. She was real bored all the time. Yeah. . Yeah. I'm just like, Jerry rig my home. Unfinished paintings and stuff. . I'm like, wow. What a, what a waste of time. . I should been collecting rubber chicken.
[00:14:00]

Joe: All right, so if, if all your thoughts immediately were written down and mailed to the people that you had the thoughts about , who would you be the most concerned and try to stop?

From opening their mail.

Brett: Oh. Oh. No. I wouldn't stop any of 'em. . They all know how I feel about them.

DeJah: I love that confidence. I love it. No, I'll tell it

Brett: straight to their face. I don't even, don't even write it down. Let me tell you in person, that's a waste of stamp. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. This is too much money. I don't,

Jenn: I haven't really thought about people a lot recently.

I don't think, like, I don't

Brett: think

Jenn: about

Brett: other people. , . [00:15:00]

Jenn: I mean, I guess Sure. I mean, like, you know, I think about my mom. I talk to my

DeJah: brother every day. Like I get Yeah, I guess like, it would be somebody who I've been having like negative thoughts and I guess the only person I'd have negative thoughts about would be Voldemort, which is what I call my ex.

Oh.

Brett: But, but yeah. But that's the thing. That's, I I wouldn't stop those letters. I mean, I wouldn't, I actually wouldn't talk to them in person. 'cause I don't have any of their information anymore. But like, if it, if it was an X and they were, I want them to know. Yeah,

DeJah: I'll write it for,

Brett: I'll straight up. Just,

DeJah: I, I got, I got a friend that's like that, that she will write.

Fucking manifestos. You break up with her. Yeah. She is gonna write a goddamn manifesto about her feelings. Even. You're gonna know. I'm

Brett: even, I don't, I don't wanna send it to them. I wanna send it to their best friend. the person out. You're gonna publish. No, no. Like send to all the exes. Like my, my, my partner now knows how I feel about it.

And so be like, why are you like, why are you texting me? You're right next to me is kind of, it would essentially be what happens . But like the, if I, if it was about an ex, which I have very negative feelings about some of my exes, I wanna send it to their best friend. [00:16:00] I don't want it going to them 'cause they already know.

I want, I wanna go, you know what, I'm gonna up this. I'm send it to their mom. Wanna Their

DeJah: mom? Hell yes. .

Brett: Yes. Oh, I wish you

Jenn: guys

Brett: could just,

Jenn: that was good. That just happened. That, that was fantastic.

Joe: That was like a three foot in the air. High five .

Jenn: Yeah, but there were chords involved attached to the headphones.

I was like, we, we did it.

Joe: Mine melded. I've often wondered, based on all the great movies that have been made, was that Simon Peg one where like, or the invention of Lying, or the one with Ricky DVAs or, or the whatever. There's been like a bunch of 'em. Do you think, how long do you think, okay, lemme ask two, two part question.

Oh God. Would the world be better if nobody could lie and everybody could just read each other's thoughts? No. The Mel Gibson movie, absolutely no. And if it would be, how long do you take think it would take to get there?

Jenn: Oh, like to get to lying or? No, to get, to get to telling

Joe: the truth to better, because eventually everybody would be so [00:17:00] like, oh, everybody thinks everybody's terrible and Oh, so we're not, we're not so bad.

Brett: No, no. I think, I think it'd be a terrible idea. I think that's a terrible idea.

DeJah: Oh, no, that's terrifying. Yeah. No,

Brett: I, I think there's, I think there is a, like, we, like the, the art of deception is like an evolutionary trait. Mm-hmm . In a lot of ways and has created a lot of social cues and like interactions and even intelligence to some extent because you have to know when someone lied to you.

So I don't think it'd be a good idea. But I. Do think people should stop lying as much as they are lying. Mm. So the wifi thing, the wifi password thing would be great. , that's, it's a little

DeJah: deterrent. Yeah.

Brett: It's not gonna stop people from lying, but it's certainly gonna be, it is gonna be annoying. It's gonna stop

Joe: the

Jenn: annoying lies.

Yeah. Yeah. Instead of forgot password, it's gonna be like, tell the truth to get your password. Yeah. Yeah.

Brett: Right. And, and actually I think it, it would make the whole like sharing your password with your partner like that much more like dangerous, you know what [00:18:00] I'm saying? So like, you really gotta trust your partner that because like if their password changes and the other person like notices that their password changes, like what have you lying about, what you, what are you lying to me about?

Yeah. Things are get real messy. So

Joe: if that is, if everybody couldn't, but you could. Hear everybody else's thoughts. Ugh. Would you like that? Fuck no. No. Hell no.

Jenn: God, no. That sounds exhausting. Yeah. ,

DeJah: I already, I'm exhausted listening to my own

Brett: thoughts. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Joe, Joe, tell me, do you wanna, do you want that because you are, I mean, it would I don't know.

No. See that? I think's 'cause you're a dude, what could you Yeah, I agree. I think it's 'cause you're a dude and you just wanna know what people are thinking. Women are like, we already know what people are thinking. I'm tired of it

Joe: be because I think that like, women's intuition is a real thing. Oh yeah. I don't have it.

I often have to ask my wife like, what just happened for real After

Jenn: what, what was between the lines there? Yeah.

DeJah: Oh. Like, honestly, when you, when you, when you said it, my first vision was. Then I have to hear every man's cat call. Ugh. Ugh. The ones who are fra themselves ins I inside. Yes. Have to man thinks about me all the time.

Right. What he thinks about my body. My body [00:19:00] parts so much my Yeah. No. Or other people like, right.

Brett: I like, I I think it's just like hearing what other people think about other people too, which just be exhausting. I feel like I'm in everybody's gossip. I like, I like gossip, but I like gossip when I have consented to the gossip.

Yes. If I am not consenting with gossip, it's like, t

DeJah: consent is real. It, it is. Don't consent.

Jenn: Don't

DeJah: you like

Jenn: throwing people into your shit if they didn't ask for it? , I just think of you know, in the movie Bruce Almighty Yeah. With Jim Carrey, whenever he first gets the powers of God and he's answering the emails and he just hears all the things all at once.

Like, that's what that sounds like to me. Yes. You know what I mean? Like if you could hear everybody else's thoughts that be not,

Brett: but, but also there's like a de debate about whether people have like the internal monologue. Like people who have an internal monologue and people who don't have an internal monologue.

So you're are if for people who don't have an internal monologue, are you just hearing like static or you're not hearing anything? Yes.

DeJah: Apparently psychopaths don't hear anything. Yeah. Avoid like

Brett: they're, like, they're not listening to themselves, like rattle on about stuff all the time in their No. 'cause they don't

DeJah: question any action or deed or word [00:20:00] or, yeah.

Brett: Yeah. I mean, I know there's sometimes when I don't have an internal monologue, it's usually when I'm scrolling, but like, yeah, doom scrolling. Doom scrolling. But then I will at. At some point I will start to hear myself, like talk in my head and it's usually practicing a conversation that I'm gonna have later.

Oh yeah. Right.

Jenn: Yeah. Oh, do you ever have the convers, like you think about like how a conversation went and you're like, if I could do that over again, I would say this and this. You know what?

Brett: You know what, I take it back. I kind of would like to hear . Wait a minute. That'd actually be hilarious. Okay. So if you could like hear someone practice the conversation they were about to have with you.

Oh, and then you had the real conversation and you got to like compare notes. That would would be like, that's not what you said in your head. That's not what you were gonna say. Say what you meant. Say what you were gonna say though.

Joe: All right. So maybe that would be maybe an off switch for the toggle.

That would be actually really funny because then you could get some relief when you wanna sleep. No. 'cause there's like in the series, that

DeJah: book series that I just turned oh, no, no, no. It's the one that you turned me onto. The one that you said that you want. Zayden.

Jenn: Oh yeah, the, the Imperion series.

[00:21:00] So Iron Flame forth, Wayne, that's series.

DeJah: There's a, a gift to that, that you can hear everyone and they have to instantly kill them because otherwise they're gonna, because taking in everyone's voice, everyone's thoughts at the same time is so overwhelming that they have to literally, they like explode with their power, basically.

Jenn: Yeah.

DeJah: Pretty

Jenn: intense stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That was too much I had

Joe: consider exploding. Yeah. , I could

Jenn: have done it. What if, like, if I could pick, if I could reverse that, I would like to have a man's mind so that I could just be quiet sometimes, like just the, the simplicity. Just be able to, like, I don't feel like they, they've bought that anymore.

Wouldn't, like I'm not,

DeJah: I'm not gonna have. Fear or a lack of self-confidence or, yeah. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie,

Joe: it's pretty great to be like a 40-year-old white dude ,

Jenn: like we know.

Joe: I know. We pretty, pretty safe. I don't worry about a lot of stuff. Yeah.

Brett: Yeah. Although, although I'll say that I probably have the confidence of a 40-year-old, right dude.

Like, I don't, I don't care. That is, that

DeJah: is how I carry myself. Yeah.

Brett: I like to walk around the world, not really caring about stuff, so I [00:22:00] try, it's, it's,

DeJah: it's part of my, I do comedy, so meditation,

Brett: actualization to yeah. You not care anymore. It's really, it's very freeing. It is. It's really nice. It's good,

Jenn: free, healthy.

I just like the, the compartment. I can't compartmentalize. Like, like if I'm thinking about something, it's all mush in my head. Right. And there's this picture that I've seen you guys probably you haven't, 'cause you're not deja, you're not on social media, but the it's like two pictures and it's like a man's brain and it's, it's a radio track just going straight and then it's like a woman's brain and it's just like all these tracks, like intersecting or whatever.

And I'm like, I've met a lot of men who I feel like the second one definitely applies

Brett: to because I know a lot of guys with a DH ADHD that probably couldn't stay on track if they tried. Yeah.

Joe: Fair. Yeah. Yeah. You might be giving us more credit than we deserve to. Yeah. I

Brett: don't think there's a track at all.

They're just walking, they're just, they're meandering. They're just skying their way through life, just like, blah, blah, blah. Look a rabbit. I'll shoot it. Yay.

Joe: A track imp applies that. There's like a plan. Yeah. There's no plan.

Brett: They're just walking around the POV like video game in it. No doubt. Yeah. [00:23:00] This

Joe: is, this is one of my favorite questions, so real random.

So you gotta think about it. And but it's a tricky one. So if you could have a superpower, but it can't be a regular superpower, like nothing you'd see in a comic book or in a, in a comic book movie or anything. So you have to make up a superpower. Oh,

DeJah: I love this game. Which one?

Joe: I already have an answer.

Which one? I, I have my answer too, if you guys want. Well, I'm glad you guys

Jenn: prepared. Was there a, was there a study guide for this? Like ?

Joe: No, no. I'm this a question, thought this before, because this is a real question that I, that I've thought about.

Brett: Y'all do yards. And then I'm gonna tell you about a game that's super fun, that is kind of similar to that super power make.

So mine, this is,

Joe: this is what mine would be. And I thought about it a lot before I got here. My superpower would be, I would be able to absorb the physical benefits of working out by watching other people work out. Ooh, that's a good one. Brilliant. That's a good one. So I could just like sit on the couch and watch, you know, yoga P 90 x.

Nailed it. P 90 x, oh my gosh.

Brett: My roommate did P 90 X and I can't tell you how many times I just watched P 90 X . [00:24:00] I would be ripped.

DeJah: Oh my gosh. Jacked and ani to move your neck. . That, that's a good one. That does. That's spend a lot of time. That's a really good one. Yeah. That's amazing. Well, the one that just instantly popped into my head when you said it was

I would just wanna touch any plant around me and just turn it into weed, , , whatever, plant, wherever I am, people popping along. You know what sounds good right now? Boop.

Joe: What if you touch like a 40 foot oak tree? Yeah.

DeJah: That bitch

Joe: is a 40 foot and a plant.

Brett: I was like, please don't touch any like endangered plants.

That would be really upsetting.

DeJah: Only, only win necessary

Brett: there. There's this really fun game that I used to play with my friends that was useless superpower, and you had to make the most useless superpower ever. And whoever had like the most useless one was like the winner of the game. And one of my favorite ones was, every time I clinched my fist, a white crayon would [00:25:00] disappear for 10 seconds.

DeJah: Perfectly random. Yeah. That was, it's the most useless superpower. Yeah. I was like, I could bend spoons with my mind. Yeah. That's completely worthless. I mean, that,

Brett: that might be though, like, you could maybe make like rings out of them. You know, those people that make like spoon rings. Mm-hmm . So that could be useful.

That's could be lucrative. Yeah. It could be lucrative if you, I like

DeJah: how you're thinking about this. Productive. Yeah. No, you, you have, you have

Brett: to start drilling holes into people's things and be like, worthless. It could be useful. Worthless.

DeJah: As

Brett: worthless

DeJah: as possible. It's true. Who uses a white crown?

Jenn: Nobody.

DeJah: Nobody. That's, it's useless. That's why it's great. That's why it's so useless. This is

Jenn: not useless, but I think this might be my power superpower. Yeah. Would be to be able to instantly fill up my gas tank, because I am one of the people that's like, I'll fill it up in the morning for free. Oh, well free.

There's that piece. Damn. But also just like I, I'll always, I'm like driving home. My light comes on, I'm like, well, I'm not stopping at a gas station at night by myself as a female, so I'll get gas in the morning and then I do not leave time to get gas in the morning. So That's true. Yeah. I think I would, it would [00:26:00] be a

Joe: pretty nice thing to do to people too.

Just like, boop, free gas,

Brett: just your own or other people's boppity boop. Oh sure. I can do others. I'll be charitable. That'd be really nice. I think

Joe: it my useless superpower would be see through skin.

Brett: That would actually be very useful if other people were doctors that wanted to like, look at you.

She's played this

DeJah: game. I know how to play this game.

Brett: I'm poking holes in everybody's seamless superpowers. That would be incredibly useful actually. 'cause you could see everything while it's like moving and they could potentially diagnose you without even having to like, and I guess

Joe: I would be like hired to be like, go to classrooms and show people would study.

Yeah. Yes.

DeJah: Actually that'd be really cool for science. Get to strut around naked. True. Look at you. I would never be embarrassed

Joe: about being sunburned,

Brett: right? No. Yeah. Can you get sunburned if you have C through? Can your organs get sunburned? Nobody

Joe: would know what race I am.

Brett: It's true. That is true. Well,

Jenn: race is socially constructed anyway, but yeah, especially when you have invisible skin.

Everybody, everybody

Brett: would just know by like how you're strutting around naked, that you're a white guy, back to that confidence of [00:27:00] white man. He's not worried about being studied at all. Actually. There is a lot of black people that are incredibly scared about being studied by white people, but he just seems to be walking around like it's no big deal.

probably a white guy, . Oh, oh,

Joe: that's true. I actually don't, I don't have a, I don't have a useless one. Then I'll, I'll keep thinking about there. There was

Brett: another guy who was like, every time they blinked, then all the manhole covers would rise like 30 inches. I was like, that's so dangerous. Yes. That's so dangerous.

No, that was more

DeJah: like thinking. Yeah, like, so every time I cross my legs. I grow eyebrow hair. Ooh, I like that one. That's nice and useless. Completely. Pretty

Brett: useless. That is a good, I don't know if I have a, a, a hold to poke in that one. That's pretty good. Oh,

Jenn: what about the, that's pretty good. One of the questions we were talking about earlier that every time you sneezed a rubber ducky appeared 10 feet from you.

Brett: Yeah. That one's pretty useless. I, unless you drive a Yeah.

Jenn: Unless you really needed a rubber tuckie or unless you drive a Jeep. Oh yeah. The rubber duck. Yeah. [00:28:00] Epidemic. That's a thing. That's weird. Yeah. When you see the Jeep with 'em, like, I'm like, bro, calm down. You got like, you 30 do my, does that, you know

DeJah: what I, every time I see one, I every instantly start singing the rubber ducky.

Yo. The one rubber

Jenn: ducky. That is cute. I mommy's a bird. Nerdy . And that's what we would hear if we were daious head. Yep. I, that's not bad, actually. That's not too bad. Cute.

Joe: You got any more for us, Joe? How, how much trouble would you be in if every thought you had tomorrow was a visible bubble floating above your head? Again, jail.

Brett: Wait. Every, wait, every,

Joe: every time you have a thought, it just animates up.

And everybody It was a bubble. Like a thought bubble

Brett: tomorrow. Yeah. Did I know this was gonna happen? Or is this again something No, you don't, don't discover. You just discover.

Joe: It's like an origin story. I

Brett: don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow. How am I supposed to know what's gonna happen now? It makes grateful to

Joe: work from home.

no

Brett: one can. Yes. You just got these, all these bubbles like around you.

Joe: I would like head straight to the therapist. All right. Here we go. ,

Brett: ask the questions. That, that would be a very quick [00:29:00] therapy session. Yeah. Tomorrow I have my Spanish lesson, so it would just be a lot of really broken Spanish . My poor Spanish tutor will be like, are you okay?

And I'm like, I'm trying to find the conjugation for this verb.

Jenn: He's like, yeah, I can see that doing a 90 minute yoga, hot yoga session tomorrow. So maybe mine would just be like, don't die. That's probably my thought. Don't stay, don't breathe in. Breathe in, breathe out. Lay down. Don't fart. Don't fart. Yeah.

Some days, some days are better than others. You gotta be in trouble. Well we do actually have a someone who did call in with a question. So I guess we can, we can switch to that and, and see we had another voicemail, so, if you want to be as cool as this person and this voicemail that we are about to play, you can call into our podcast number, which is 9 1 9 2 9 5 0 5 7 8, and leave us a voicemail.

It will not ring through to anyone. You do not run the risk of having to actually [00:30:00] speak to someone on the phone. You can just leave as a voicemail. We will play it. We do not listen to these ahead of time, just FYI, we listen and respond in real time. So with that, Joe, whenever you're ready, Maestro

Joe: saying that every time could, could really backfire, but here we go, right, because

Jenn: Lisa, let's go.

Yeah, it

Joe: didn't in this case. Here we go.

Jenn: Hey ladies, ramblings of a restless mind. I have a question for you. As someone who does a lot of freaking laundry in the house, for everyone in the family, why don't we have laundry rooms in one central room? Like, why do we have closets in every bedroom? Would it be much more efficient to have one room?

Where all the laundry hangs and the washer and dryer is in there. So you can wash, dry, hang up all in one space, and you don't have to worry about taking it to all these freaking bedrooms in a house because you know, there's usually one person that does the laundry mostly. Unless you have your shit together and [00:31:00] can get your kids to help.

If I envy those who can. But yeah, that's my question. Why not one central closet with the laundry room all in one spot? Can we make that happen? ? Thanks. Love your podcast,

That's,

Brett: that's great. Like, that would make stealing your family's like other clothes, like so easy. Yes. Yeah. Oh my gosh. My, I had a, I had a big sister. Oh, that would be awful. . That would be for her. Oh, no, for both of us. That would be terrible. Like we'd be stealing each other's shit left and right. Yes. Like that would've, that would be awful.

I, I disagree. I immediately

DeJah: was like. There's still gonna be one person hanging it up in an organized manner. Still manner, because everybody else is gonna fuck get up. 'cause if you got kids, they, yeah, okay. Everything's gonna be in one room, but there's still gonna have to be a manager of it. Like matter what?

I just

Jenn: wanna give her a hug. 'cause they feel like she's drowning in laundry. Terrible. She,

Brett: I do my own laundry and my partner does their own laundry and it's like, I don't want, [00:32:00] that's, I can't do other people's laundry. It seems like kind of too personal too. Oh. Like touching other people's stuff like that is weird to me.

I see.

Jenn: I wouldn't have the issue because the way that I do laundry for myself is I make piles on the top of my, 'cause I front loaders, so I make piles on top of my washer and dryer and they sit there for quite a while and I will pick apart what I need and then I'm like, all right Jen, it's been like a month and a half.

You should probably really hang this stuff up or you know, whatever. Yeah.

Brett: I just have a big old like bin that just lives, like all the things that I said, oh, I'm gonna fold these. I just. It's just in a bin and then it, and then I pick out of it during the week. And then at the end of the week I have like three shirts that I'm like, oh, I should put these away.

La la la. I'm so responsible. Yeah. , you feel so accomplished actually, a shirt

Jenn: like, I did it. I did it. Cute. Yeah. That, but I mean, okay, so let's break this down. Like logistically, if you had a house that, if I had a house whoa. first of, okay. First of all, [00:33:00] moving on up, baby, sweaty, get outta my, get outta my apartment.

So, because Joe, you have two girls, three girls, two girls, yeah. Two girls. And so if there was one, if, if it was the norm, right? And this has obviously not been the norm for real estate, but it, with the laundry room, it was big enough and had space to wear everyone's clothes. Were you wash, dried and put all in, in that same space?

Mm-hmm. I, it would say some steps and if you got a two story house, yeah. But if you've ever had

DeJah: teenage boys, that shit is rank. So if you're keeping all your clothes in the same room as the dirty clothes.

Brett: Everybody should have their own hamper. Yeah. So like if your dirty clothes kept their room is the only one that stinks, right?

Jenn: Yeah. Because yeah. I mean, so maybe the clean clothes being hung up wouldn't be in the same exact vicinity of, but like next to Oh, that's, that's the problem

DeJah: she was complaining about. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's the problem. So what we need to have is a like a diaper decontamination. Yes. . Like a diaper genie diaper chamber, diaper.

Before the dirty clothes. It holds the smell in, right? Yeah. The diaper genie. Yeah. [00:34:00] And then you can immediately transfer it into the washer, because I don't know if you've ever come near the contamination unit of my son's socks. I.

Joe: There would be fights. I remember when, when I started dating my wife, we were young, so she was probably 17.

I was gonna say was, was it legal ? Yeah.

Brett: Were you also 17 ?

Joe: I was. I was 15 or 16, but

Brett: Oh, okay. So she was the one being illegal. Yeah.

Joe: Crazy. Her mom did the laundry for both daughters and she would hang it up in the basement. Very similar to what this woman is describing. And I remember I was down there one time and I was like, why is there two of every shirt?

And she said, 'cause my mom got sick of us arguing all the time. Yeah. So there would be like a sweatshirt and then right next to it, the same sweatshirt. Yeah. Agreed. Yeah. 'cause the fights would be just knocked down.

DeJah: No, I do remember that down, like coming, I come from the land of basements, and Michigan.

Yeah, yeah. Right, right. Not have a basement. And yeah, the washer and dryer was down in the basement and there was a line and yeah, you'd hang up [00:35:00] everybody's clothes. Right. But then they would get disseminated back into their rooms. But technically it was all happening in like one basement separated area.

You gotta just

Brett: get down there and grab your shit before someone else does. Yes. And they have

Joe: the little shoots in the house where you just like, there's a hole in the drywall. You'd just like, yeah, my grandpa had one of those are

Brett: swanky. We did not have that.

DeJah: So our, our, well see this is in the north when you're trapped inside for nine months and you can't go outside, so you need indoor shoots.

My,

Brett: my, my childhood house had our washer dryer in the bathroom that me and my sister shared. Oh, yeah. So there wasn't, it was all like. Like there wasn't a line, there wasn't, it was literally like you, the laundry was there, you did the laundry, and then you immediately took it into your room because there's no space.

Right? Yeah. Anywhere in there to do your stuff. And in, in our apartment, the washer dryer is in the kitchen. So there's like nowhere to put, oh, that was, you can't put anything anywhere. You literally take it and you take it to your [00:36:00] room and you put it away. Or in my case, you just leave it in a basket next to the dresser that's cooked.

Jenn: Yeah. My, my mom, oh my God, she used to get so frustrated 'cause she would take all the, you know, my brother and I, we, we would bring our, our laundry baskets, the dirty clothes down, and she'd do the laundry and she didn't. Have us help her with the laundry. 'cause she didn't wanna get fucked up . Right. So she was very, she was particular about her.

And I appreciate it. 'cause you know, my color, my shirts, my colors and my whites and everything say it all separate. Everything separate line. And anyway, so she'd wash, fold and everything, put it in our little basket and she would sit out on the steps. And my brother and I were just talking about this the other day, that we would just, we'd go up and down those stairs multiple times, go into our bedrooms.

But Do you think we grabbed our laundry baskets? Hell no. Until our mom was like, I washed all this laundry. You need to, and then it would just sit in my room, in the hamper and my mom would get so pissed because I would start to throw dirty clothes on top of the clean clothes. 'cause I hadn't put 'em away.

Away.

Brett: Wow. I'm so glad I don't have kids. It sounds like a nightmare. Yep.

Joe: How would it work? Would it, would it be a more elegant solution if every room had a washing machine in it? That

Brett: sounds expensive. No, that sounds so loud. Yeah. [00:37:00]

DeJah: Like,

Brett: just like a, it's every,

DeJah: it's a really valid question because like my house, the washer and dryer has now been in three different locations.

It was originally in a shed that was outside, attached to the house. Oh, that's kind of cool. Then it was moved into the kitchen. Yeah. And then I built on another addition and moved it out there , so like there's. And a lot of like designs, like, especially in this area, there's not like a centralized location.

Yeah, like a basement, right. Where it's code that hasn't been cracked

Brett: yet. Yeah. It's a valid question. My grandmother had a basement that had a pool table, but also the wash in it. She's from Maryland. And she had, it was terrifying down there, like as a small, oh, their basements are so creepy. Oh my gosh.

As a small child, you would go down there and it was really creepy. It was so creepy. . It was like the, and it was also like the wood paneling, like the vertical wood paneling. It was so dark. And there was this like one like naked light bulb in the middle always. And you would go down there and these like just vintage, like laundry machines down there that were just like, [00:38:00] please at least

DeJah: tell me that that one single light bulb terrifying.

Just swayed No gently for no reason. . No, no,

Brett: no, no, no, no. It was, it was in the middle. It was actually, oh no, it wasn't even in the middle. So like, it was like these carpeted stairs that like went down and then. The, it was just a naked light bulb that wasn't on a string. It was just like on thing, but it was offset so that you couldn't see the back.

Oh, yes. You couldn't see the back corner. Oh my gosh. It was terrifying. That play. But the pool table's dope . So

DeJah: once you got

Brett: past the stairs We did, we did go down there often to play on the pool table. But I mean, you were a skirt, but it was, it was scary. But like, you felt really cool when you were down there.

But like those, those like laundry machines just in the back. Just like, like heart thumping? Yeah. Thumping mess. Oh, it was scary as fuck. .

Joe: My daughters are the typical daughters that their floors are just like six inches of clothes. Mm-hmm . And I didn't decide to fight with it. I'm like, it's fine. Just shut the door.

Jenn: If you're gonna wear WR clothes, you're gonna wear wrinkly clothes. Yeah. I'll just buy more. Well, he just buy more . Whatcha swimming [00:39:00] and honey? What the My mom? No. How I would never Uhuh, my argument was that I was busy as hell in high, like I would go to school like I don't know how I functioned because if I had to do all of the shit that I did in high school now, no, just, no.

Like it was school all day long and then it was either cheerleading practice or dance and then it was like going to the games and just like all the things and the clubs and this and that, and I wasn't getting home until 9:00 PM Then I had to do homework. Where do I have time to clean my room?

Joe: Yeah. I do think I've heard that college is the busiest time of your life.

Do you guys think that's true? No.

Brett: I don't know, but I do know a lot of college people that don't know how to do their laundry. .

Jenn: True, true. People will get ruthless though, like in the dorm, laundry, laundry spaces. They'll

Brett: like, they'll like, pull your shit out and hell yeah. Like sopping

Jenn: wet clothes and just set 'em in a pile to grow molds.

Yeah. I mean, I guess you shouldn't forget your stuff, but like, no,

Brett: we, we, we had like the, the the like coin laundry in our college dorm mm-hmm . And Yeah. You don't leave your stuff. Nope, Nope. There were some people [00:40:00] that would do that stupid thing where they would put like a sock in each dryer to like, have you ever seen that?

Because it locks, it locks once you put, so they would like put their, like a sock in each dryer so that they could like, reserve it or whatever, and then they would like time it and they would go down and like reserve everyone so that there wouldn't be jerks.

Joe: Ooh. There just be like an jerks line of waiting for that.

Yeah. No, it was

Brett: bad. They, it was like a common thing for people to do so that they knew that there was going to be one available to them when they came back for their stuff. People would, because people would, they would just straight up take your shit out and put it on like the side ruthless. And so they would like purposefully take up all of them so that they knew there was one available to them when they needed to switch their stuff over.

Jenn: I ain't got that many quarters. Like yeah, I was not, I was not, these are rich kids. That was not me. There are four quarters every month. That's why I would like my laundry would pile up and pile up to, I'd be like, okay, it's time to make the four hour drive home to ha to do my laundry. Yeah. Because like I'm out of underwear.

Time to go home. . Yeah. Oh man. So, I mean, [00:41:00] I, I don't know. I mean, I think there's, I I, it's tough

Brett: if it works for your family. I don't think it would work for everybody's situation. Yeah. I think it would. If it worked for your personal situation, then Sure. Yeah, absolutely. But yeah, you

DeJah: know what? I just, I just figured it out.

Okay. So we have a, a centralized location, right? Mm-hmm . Where we put all of our clothes into, but then we have like mobile, like hotel racks. And then we just, but what do you do for

Jenn: two story homes?

DeJah: You're

Brett: screwed.

DeJah: No, everyone lives in a ranch now. . Oh, okay. It's true. The ranch style

Jenn: is the style right now.

Yeah. Extra wide hallways. Yes. Yes. Yeah. But there, because there's a lot of houses where all of the get down upstairs, but laundry's downstairs, like who designed that? Like why? You know, but you, that's our house care care is her washer and dryer. Sorry, Joe, upstairs up.

Brett: That doesn't really bother me too much.

Like get your steps in.

Jenn: Yeah. But, but I would, but I could see is like if you're the main, if you have children. Yeah. Like we are all talk, Joe's the only one in the room right [00:42:00] now that has like children at home that grew up like doing all the laundry and stuff. So I have

DeJah: kids,

Jenn: so I, yeah. You know, I, I don't like doing my own laundry.

And

Joe: I do, we do one thing weird at our house and we didn't realize it was weird until my daughter had a bunch of girls over for sleepover and they were watching love Is Blind. Mm-hmm . The new one. And oh God, the this woman was describing a situation that we've done for years, and the guy was like, you're crazy.

But we have one sock drawer down by the, by the laundry thing. Oh,

Brett: that's not weird.

Joe: Because we were like, this is too much work to sort socks. Oh,

Brett: I actually love that. So I just bought

Joe: like a bunch of different drawers and made like a folding table area, and then under, it's just nothing. But like, whatever drawer you open is just jam full of socks.

Not paired or nothing. That's,

Brett: no, that's awesome. . So, no, no, I, I actually really like that because I, when I worked at another zoo where we were in the farm area, our, our feet would be like gnarly, right? So I actually went ahead and bought a bunch of socks for everybody [00:43:00] so that if you got water in your boot mm-hmm

And you had a wet sock, you could just change your socks or change your boots like, so that you, I mean, you can really get like, damage your feet if you walk around in wet socks. Socks, yeah. For eight hours, you know. So, so I literally made a, just a basket of socks for people that were, you know, it's free, just change your socks.

And they did that at the, when I volunteered at the Lemur Center, they also had free socks for everybody that you could just. Change your socks because, because primates are disgusting. So like, if you don't wanna get, you know, giardia, like change your . Outfit. So yeah, I agree. I absolutely wholeheartedly sock drawer.

A hundred percent. It works out for us. I think hundred percent.

Joe: We have, we have tried to slowly just convert everybody to liking the same ankle high sock, because

DeJah: makes

Jenn: it easier. Yeah. So

Joe: we just buy hundreds of these things and just throw 'em in the, I was gonna say, so like, do you

Jenn: have, since you have multiple drawers, like do you have, because my little type A brain is like, wait a minute.

So do you have, like, this is, you got time for that. We just jam 'em in. Dad's sock [00:44:00] drawer. They are paired. Moms sock drawer. No's just, it just socks. Everybody. Socks. Communal socks. I

Brett: love that so much. So

Jenn: socks. Oh, my brain doesn't work that way. Gives me excited.

DeJah: This I would. Hundred percent. I, I once went on a, I went on a date with a woman who was like, she, she physically got like anxious, like her body language changed when she started to tell me that she couldn't go out on Sundays because she had to match her socks

And I was like, whoa. At first I was like. Is this like a deadpan joke? And then I realized, no, she was, she has o cd, she fucking serious. How many pairs

Jenn: of socks does

Joe: have I, she like, how many do you wear a week? Why is this

DeJah: like

Brett: she has o cd?

Joe: Probably you could, it was a thing you could have made her life so much easier by getting her 50 bucks and send her to Costco.

She's just gonna, I'd be like,

DeJah: every month I'm just going get you a new pack. That's

Brett: Yes. The beauty of the beauty of the sock thing is that you can ha like they're all the same sock. You can, it doesn't matter if there's a pair, you just, you, there's always a pair available. But

Jenn: are all the socks in the sock drawer at your house [00:45:00] the same?

No, they're not. And so what happens is about, oh no,

Joe: about every six months I get really frustrated and I just wanna throw away like 400 socks and buy like just six new containers of socks and just be like, these are gone. Doesn't, but what happens is you get gift socks, like crystals. Yeah. I do like

Brett: the gift socks.

I like the socks that look like chickens. Always the mix. Yeah.

Joe: You got like, you seen it, the socks that look like chickens. Yes.

Brett: I love those.

Joe: But my daughters, when they were in elementary school and middle school. In high school. Really? They never cared about matching socks. They would wear like a one that goes up to your knees that's got sushi on it, and then like an ankle high sports.

So, and they'd be like, same.

Brett: I love that for them, man. That's cool.

Joe: They didn't mind.

Brett: Same. I like, I, I also do that. I like that they

Jenn: like socks. Or socks. Yeah. No, my, my mom, she's, they were always folded and like, you know, nestled together into each other.

Brett: I do feel like if you had, if you have a big sock pile and you do your laundry, like eventually, eventually you find the other sock and you can put them together.

If you really care, you know enough about the [00:46:00] matching is

Joe: the only downside is when somebody grabs their load out of the washing machine and doesn't take the time to pull the socks out. Mm. Because now the socks are in the clean clothes in some random location, which is where we just keep buying socks.

Well then you can just,

Brett: no. Then you can just like, like, I mean there are sock hoarders, but like you could just, like, if you have a really favorite pair of socks and take that to your room. Don't leave that in the mutual sock area.

DeJah: No, that's not how they live.

Joe: It makes, it makes vacation very stressful.

'cause they're like, all right, we all need socks. How do we get this mini matching socks sometimes? Sure. They're, I don't, no, no. You just

Brett: get your own duffel. Do you just get a duffel bag? That's just socks, socks, socks. Yes. That's brilliant.

Joe: It was brilliant. Just travel with the sock drawer. Yes. Some TSA agent would be like, so you just

Brett: go, you just go down to the sock thing and you just like grab however many socks you think you're gonna need.

I don't think it's that complicated. I, I agree. This is a great idea. Idea. Exploding my brain. Brain. I can't decide

Jenn: if I don't wear enough socks. Or you all wear too many pair of socks. 'cause like. Oh, socks. Socks every day.

Joe: Mm-hmm. So four, four person's worth of socks is actually like two eight socks. Like [00:47:00] math

You have no idea. It's

Brett: like eight socks times seven, mind blowing seven days a week. Eight socks would be six socks.

Joe: It's, there's a lot of socks in those drawers. Yeah, they're always filled up. Even when all the laundry's dirty, there's a whole sock drawer full of socks. I think that's brilliant.

Jenn: I mean, I, I love that.

I mean, maybe that I need to try it. I don't know. I like, I've got a sock drawer for like athletic, like the lower cut socks and then like socks that you would wear with like boots or, you know, that are not, but they're not like fuzzy. I call 'em fuzzy socks. Like fuzzy socks are like . Really warm, seasoned socks.

Right. I've got a separate drawer for those socks. Y'all, y'all clearly dress up like every day. I know we have,

Brett: we both work from home . But before you don't need to do that. No, I like, it's funny 'cause I wear, like, I wear a uniform and I wear like work shoes. So I wear, I don't care. I don't care what my socks are Fair.

They, they don't have to look any [00:48:00] particular way. They also don't have to match anything. So like I . I will wear an ankle high white sock every day in my life and it doesn't matter to me. So I, I think that if you care about fashion or, or it like matters to you that you're, you know, your socks match to whatever outfit you're wearing, then yes, that would get frustrating.

But I think for my job, which is just like you, they're always wet, they're always disgusting. They're falling apart, they're getting bleach on them. Like, I don't care. Yeah, that's fair. 50 56 are the same. Pair of socks is not the worst thing in the world. Yeah.

Joe: The utility sock truck,

Brett: utility socks. I love it.

Can't

Joe: get away with it with underwear. It's a whole different thing. .

Jenn: Well, you could try Joe, but

Joe: theres nothing, there's nothing I wanna see less than my teenage daughters. No, that's not something I'm interested in. Physically

Brett: disgusted, man. I'm

DeJah: just thinking about like I, 'cause I have so many different kinds of socks.

Then, you know, there's the low cut ones for the shoes you don't want on the show, and they have to be in different cut like, so I have, they're mm-hmm. They all have to be matched. Mm-hmm . But I have like, it's like [00:49:00] ceremonial. If I don't have a matching sock, like I gotta play taps before I throw it away.

Yeah. That's so you, well, as Gwyn, I did not find your mate your love.

Brett: You just, I mean, Marie Kondo like every pair of socks before you throw

Jenn: it away.

Brett: You brought me so much joy. ,

Jenn: I do feel quite like triumphant whenever I'm doing laundry and all the socks do match up and carry. Yes. And yeah, look in the laundry and it's, it's empty and they're all like mashed up and I was like, oh, you found your mate Hooray.

It's like winning at solitaire. Yes. Yes it is. And the screen clears. Did you get, and the cards are jumping across the screen.

Brett: Yes. Yes.

DeJah: But it socks.

Brett: Yeah,

Joe: I agree.

DeJah: Yeah.

Brett: I don't, I don't like socks though. So like if I, if I'm wearing like, somewhat dressy shoes, they all are like no laces, no socks kind of shoes.

I, I hate, like,

Joe: I, I gotta do a thing. I don't think my wife appreciates it, but I, I hang up all of my shirts including t-shirts because I hate folding t-shirts that [00:50:00] much. Wow, okay. I don't like that. Listen,

Jenn: you stand on that hill, like whatever. That really bothers me

Brett: actually. I dunno why . Alright. I was, I was with you with the so thing, but I've, I'm hanging t-shirts really bothers

Joe: me.

I dunno. Are they nice T-shirts? No. Yeah, that, that's even worse. It's so much the

Brett: idea of like, they're undershirts, the undershirts, the pit stain. The idea of like, like I actually do have a couple of nice clothes and the idea of like, like just a pit stain white shirt that's got like holes in his, that like.

On the next, right, next to like a or something next to my nice, nice dress. I'm like, you

Joe: hang, hang that up. You hang that thing up, you hang no

Brett: brother. No thank you. Can't compute like, just starts glitching. That, that one. I have to, I have to disagree. Do you

Joe: guys, do you guys do this every once in a while?

Like maybe every three or four months? Maybe, or Probably. That's probably being super generous. I do feel the urge to like organize my closet. Yeah. And there's like two days where all the, all the t-shirts are like, here's all the blue shirts, here's all the gray shirts, here's what blah. My closet is like that

Jenn: actually.

Like it's, it's color. Yeah. I've never had that.

DeJah: My closet is also color coordinated by [00:51:00] style .

Brett: I've literally never done that. My, I moved, yeah. , my closet was too messy,

Jenn: so I just moved. I just moved. I left it on. We're starting over. I do. I and I, I hate, I hate that. And now, I mean, to your point though, Brett, like I worked in a law firm for 10 years, so I did have to like get dressed up and now like working from home, like normally I will pack up like my fall and winter like boots and booties and I bring out like all my sandals and stuff.

And you are so

Brett: organized.

Jenn: Now I'm like, I guess I'll move these yoga pants over to this drawer this season. Like literally what I did, like

DeJah: I just moved every, like all my comfort clothes just out and I have a closet of clothes I never wear. Yeah. Because I don't go into an office anymore. Yeah, we did that.

I'm actually.

Joe: I'm sorry. We did that in Michigan. We had the winter clothes and mom would pack 'em up for the winter. Mm-hmm . But here I just, I just got clothes. Yeah. I don't, yeah,

Brett: I, I know. I'm actually kinda sad when we moved my dog has a lot of clothes. and, oh, pixie. Yeah, she's tiny. She's, she gets cold.

And her clothes [00:52:00] gonna sock drawer. I know. Before we moved yeah, before we moved, she, hers were like, hung up. Like I, hers were organized. Mine were not . And I haven't gotten around to, or like actually hanging hers up. Hers are actually like in a little bin now, and now I feel bad. I'm like, I really need to organize her clothes.

I don't care about mine. But like, she's the Isha of the house. Like she, honestly, though, she's got better fashion since than I, she's got a, she's got a, a little Yoda sweater. This is my favorite. That's amazing. That's adorable. Yeah. She has the best clothes.

Joe: I feel like we saw the laundry issue. Yeah. Yeah, we did.

Brett: Yeah. The la .

Jenn: What was the laundry? ? What did we solve?

Joe: We got it. We got it done. Who

Jenn: did?

Joe: Yeah.

Jenn: I don't, yeah, I don't know. I mean, you know, you gotta take that up with real estate or just make it

Brett: work. Like do like, just say, this is what we're doing now, ladies and gentlemen. Like, or in and inbetweens, like, this is what we're doing.

Like if you have a, if you have a room that is your designated like laundry room, I would say just do it. And just have them fight. Fight it out. Like, [00:53:00] it's like if you have, if you have an actual laundry room, this would work fine. Yeah. But if you, if you were like in an apartment like me where your laundry is literally in your kitchen mm-hmm

It's just not gonna work. But I think that caller, if you wanna make this happen, girl, make it happen. Like just do it. Don't ask, don't ask them. Like

DeJah: vicariously with a drawer full of socks like Joe, man. Like just

Joe: do it. Do it. Like, where's my clothes? They do it. They're downstairs. I moved them.

Brett: I do the laundry.

They live

DeJah: their

Brett: house. Exactly. Say say I'm the one who does the laundry. This is the way we're doing it now. If you don't like it, do your own laundry. That's, yeah. I think that's the long and short of that,

Jenn: I think. But I guess like what if you have . Kids that aren't old enough to do laundry, you know what I mean?

Well then they

Brett: say, then you say, I'm doing the laundry. This is how we're doing the laundry. Like the end when you're old enough to do your own laundry, change it the way you like it. That's, or

Jenn: I'm gonna hang everything up here. And it's your job to get it to your own closet. Closet. Although, although if your children are like really short, don't hang it up like super high.

That's super

Brett: rude. Unless you're an asshole. And I mean your little 4-year-old, that's [00:54:00] like jumping over his foot. Alright,

Joe: here's, here's an they don't trust themselves. Here's an outside of the box thing. What if, because, you know, have you ever been to like Europe or whatever? And the laundry? Yes. The laundry machine is the dryer.

Yes. It took me the first time I went, oh wait, what I, I've tot a place where it's an all in one. No. So we went to Paris and stayed there and it was a whole thing. Like we were researching like where's the fricking dryer? But anyway, they're all in one there. So what if somebody came up with a closet size, one outfit at a time?

So at the end of the day you could just put it in. Then it would wash and dry it, and in the morning you just put that away like steam.

Brett: Impressive. Roll it right back out. So you would only wear one outfit a day, like the same outfit every day? No,

Joe: no, no. You could have as many outfits as you want, but each day you would simply just take whatever you're wearing.

Oh, yes. Instead of just throwing it on the ground. Mm-hmm . Or in the laundry bag, insta wash, you put it. Right. It sounds like a

Brett: waste of energy. Yeah. Have to solve that. Yeah. That

Jenn: part. It's wind power, so maybe it's power solar powered. It's just a small person. [00:55:00] It's literally .

Brett: It's just, it's just you putting your, your clothing outside in the sun and say like solar cleaning.

UV sterilization. Yes. Perfect. Yeah. It sounds like, like the cell phone, this

Jenn: collar's superpower needs to be. It's the laundry . Oh.

Brett: You know, actually a UV sterilizer would be kind of fun though. Yeah. It wouldn't take out the stains. But like your, your clothes would be clean .

Joe: I know that there's a hack, like if you have really stinky shoes, you know if you put 'em in the freezer overnight.

Yes. So if you could do the

Brett: Ew, what, wait a minute

DeJah: slot. They, they put their flack jackets the same thing into the freezer. 'cause it kills the sun kills odor and the bacteria freezer kill odor next

Brett: to

DeJah: your

Brett: food. Right on top. Frozen baby. Yeah. In this case you would have, would never,

Joe: you would have a UV cleaner.

That's disgusting. That gets super cold. And so it's clean and smells nice. It smells okay.

Brett: Yeah. I don't know because therefore you can do it without

Joe: water.

Brett: There you go. There you go. But then you, you just have like stains baked in forever. I tend

Joe: to always do anyways. I don't know how that's an upgrade. Aw[00:56:00]

I seemingly, every time I look down, I just got so sad for him in stain. I I was that I feel like at the end of every day I look down, I'm like, when did I spill coffee? .

Jenn: Oh, that's my life. Yeah. Oh, well, I don't, well, you know what? Our, our job is not to solve the problems. Our job is to talk about 'em. And that's what we did, guys.

We, we did that. So we're winning. Do you did We did a

DeJah: great job.

Jenn: Do you? I can't imagine the frustration. Like I said, I don't have children. I don't have to wash children's clothes. Hell yeah. I, for a short period dated a guy who had kids and I did start washing their clothes, but they weren't there all that often, so it wasn't that big of a deal.

So I don't, I don't, I don't have a solution and I wish you all of the best. Yeah,

Brett: I think you are. If you're, are you, is it just you and your children or is there another person there that is an adult person that could also help you? I have a

Joe: feeling from this story that what she didn't say is, and my husband never does it.

I feel like there was

Brett: some confirm. I know the color and I can confirm. I would say maybe you should talk to someone else [00:57:00] about maybe helping you also, because that seems like a lot. You seem it like it's okay if you like to do the chore, but if you're the only one doing the CHO and you don't like to do the tour, um mm.

Mm. Yeah. Which is describing marriage. I have some, because most chores, I have some, some beef about that. Like, may maybe make a schedule or something. . Yeah. Bless. Yeah.

Jenn: Laundry.

Brett: I, I actually like doing laundry. I don't mind doing laundry, but like, and that's why I usually do it more, because I actually enjoy doing it.

But I feel like my, my partner also does his own clothes. I'm not gonna wash his clothes. I wash our sheets and stuff, but yeah, I don't wash his clothes. I think I wash my dog's clothes because they need to be really nice whenever we go out that Yoda

Jenn: sweater, but be on point. I

Brett: don't want him messing up her clothes.

Jenn: Yeah. Yeah. I, because with laundry, I don't mind like the washing and the drying. . I don't even mind the folding so much, but it's that whole putting away thing. That's my hurdle, man. That is my hurdle. I also really despise. [00:58:00] You just need to

Joe: let it go. You come up with a whole new thing. This is my, this is my un putaway closet.

The

Jenn: un my unfolded. I'm here for the wrinkle life. I also really despise emptying the dishwasher.

Brett: Yeah. I don't

Jenn: like that. Yeah. That's my, that's my cho. I

Brett: also don't like it being un emptied. Yeah. . You know, and there

Jenn: lies

Brett: the problem. . Yeah. It's more of just like a how long can we wait it out? Go without, yeah.

Until it becomes, we got all these an issue. We

Joe: got all these silly rules at my house. Like if. Like with trash, for example, if you push down the trash foul, you should have taken it out. Yeah.

Jenn: You know ? Yeah. Oh no, I will push that shit down. I was like, right. Contact it.

Joe: I'll come to find it and it's like, it just rips apart on the way up.

Like trash packed it all. We have a

Brett: valet trash that we have to pay for that. I'm like, but we were like right next to the dumpster. Mm. I was like, why do I have to pay for someone to walk three flights of stairs to take my trash down when I'm on the way?

Joe: So you just gotta put it outside. Yeah. That's what my wife [00:59:00] does with Amazon.

It's really annoying.

Brett: Actually. ,

Joe: the classic, the garage is just like this place where everybody's like, oh, these just disappear eventually. And every Saturday I am like three hours with a utility knife out there, like breaking down boxes. ,

Brett: I just think there's like a YouTube video about like the things just disappearing off the table.

But that's probably the only one thing

Joe: I can complain about. It's probably very weighted the other way. Breaking down boxes for 99% of all the other houses. Stuff I, I actually like breaking

Brett: down boxes. It's very therapeutic. Hmm. Yeah, I saw, I saw I've got a really nice leatherman and I just like go to town on those

Yeah. It

Joe: is satisfying. I love a leatherman. You get to use a knife. Yeah, yeah,

Brett: yeah. If you, if you get a nice leatherman, oh my gosh. I use it every day.

Joe: I got, I got every single day. I'm always carrying a knife. 'cause I'm a dude. But

Brett: I always carry. Well, I actually, I actually didn't, I actually didn't. I'm surprised I didn't carry mine with me today.

But no, I always carry a knife too. 'cause I'm a zookeeper.

Joe: I might have to stab a Ali bear.

Brett: Yeah. Just in case. Rogue. Koala

Joe: bears. .

Brett: Koala [01:00:00] What? Gum, nut gum. Gum nut. Keep a knife on you.

Joe: I think you could, you could set that gum nut craigslist of music and. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Jenn: And if you don't know what we're talking about, go back and listen to the episode that's right before this and you'll be caught up and you'll laugh.

I pro. And if you don't, you are not our audience. . So you're probably not listening to this podcast if you don't laugh. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. Well, I don't know. Do laundry put it somewhere or, or don't you just don't. mattress socks don't. Whatever you do. Yeah, yeah. You do. You live your life. However, however you wanna.

Doing a great job. You're doing a great job. You're doing this. We're all doing it. We're just surviving. I don't know. Yep.

Joe: If you're wearing clothes, you won .

Jenn: If you're not, you probably won even more . Yeah. Kids see

Brett: through skin. Exactly. Walking around naked all the time.

Jenn: Right. So if you have see through skin,

Joe: you're not naked.

'cause it's showing some skin. You're never naked. True.

DeJah: But remember he's always wearing one high sock and one ankle sock. You're a never [01:01:00] nude. You're that. So he's never fully .

Jenn: I was just about to say, I'm thinking of like the invisible man, like putting clothes on. But like if your skin is still is see through, but like could you still, would you still see your eyes?

Oh

DeJah: yes.

Jenn: Yeah. You would see

Brett: what what you see when you skin someone. Well, I've never skinned someone. I know. So it's okay. . You got time. You got time. Have you ever been to the Bonnie's exhibit? Yes. It's so cool. I have seen a person without skin. Yes, yes. Fair. Enough's. Essentially what it would look like you to see your muscles.

But I mean like, but like it's weird though, like would it be like rice paper kind of see through or would it be like straight up literally you can't see it? Yeah, or like glass. Like how, how SeeThrough are we talking about?

Joe: I think, I think it should be very see-through to the point where you transparent, literally can't

Jenn: see it.

I mean, but you would still see like the blood flowing and the neurons firing. Not the neurons. 'cause like no, you can't, yeah, you wouldn't

Brett: be able to see

Jenn: those.

Brett: But you can definitely see like the blood vessels everywhere. Yeah.

Jenn: The heart pumping and food moving, digest, articulating, digestive. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Brett: You, [01:02:00] I mean, I guess you, the things that are like real deep, you wouldn't be able to see, you'd have to like walk around Yeah. Yeah. To try to get a good image. But

Jenn: I, I love that we're giving this so much thought, like it's a real possibility. Yeah. Oh yeah. Well, definitely, definitely a real factor. Yeah.

I don't know that, that, that's all I got guys. My, I'm, my, my ramblings are done rambling, I think for, for, for today, . But but thank you again and call. I know we didn't really help, but we feel you girl, and I wish you the best in figuring out your conundrum and your piles of laundry and maybe you're a little humans we'll grow to help you one day or maybe your big human Yeah.

That is there with you will also help one day. And anybody out there listening if this has sparked something in your brain to, to call and leave us a voicemail for us to ramble about as well. Again, the number to do so is 9 1 9 2 9 5 0 5 7 8. Joe, thanks for your random questions, bud. Those were, those were great.

Brett: thanks for

Jenn: having spontaneous, and we appreciating you, letting us hold you hostage and captive again for all of this. [01:03:00] And deja close us out, bud.
