No, he's uh. He lived I think a portion of his life in Kentucky. He had this famous quote of when the end of the world happens, I want to be in Kentucky because everything happens twenty years later there and ironically, sadly, that is still true today. I did not it was not dismissed on me that Shannon Lawson was our musical guest Friday, and he said, when he first moved to Nashville, Louisville and Nashvillville were very similar. Oh. Absolutely,

And I marked Twain, so this, so this stops. So if this stops, just so, if this stops, I'll say, oh, perfect, nailed it, nailed it a clear concurance. It's the signe of a bad memory.

You know. I try to give you some Mark Twain quotes and then you two just act like imbeciles.

She took a Sydney bus for the majority of the course. I like her.

She hid into bushes and just ran out on a portion of the so she caught the bus.

And the bush.

The bush that she hit in, yeah, is forever known to this day still as Rosie Ruez this bush.

Do you charge your phones all the way up to one hundred percent? Rick Tony?

Do you do it once a day? Yes? I do.

I go to bed, I throw mine on the charger.

Yep, that's what I do do.

Well.

Charging your phone's battery to one hundred percent constantly is bad for his life.

Evidently, whoops, I don't care. I must, I'm must throw it on there anyway, right.

No, no, no, no, no, he's talking about keeping it plugged in all the time. It's at one hundred percent all the time.

Why I'm talking about it? But at night, I throw it on the charger.

Yeah, but you charge it once, but then you don't charge it till the next time you go to bed. And then Susan pulls out her retainer and goes drops it in the glass of water, and then you put your loud, stupid mask on.

Good I honey grows this couple her plus it's disgusting, and she got this stuff on her face.

So she got the stuff on the face. She got the headband pulling the hair back, and then the retainer comes out. Worney.

She puts stuff on her lips. Oh yeah, like vascilaine or something.

Yeah.

I always try to go in for the kiss before because she puts this germ factory of a retainer thing.

It's like a bite guard.

Yeah, it.

Gets me a good night Carlos. Saliva comes out. It's like it's like a little bit just coming from her bottom lip.

And then you're over there with a big Spider Man Astronauts mask.

I kind of pull off my seatpat machine though.

Do you Yeah, I think I think, Oh, I'm sure.

I think I looked like Maverick or Goose from Top Gun with a full flight mask thing on.

You know you have three before, but when you put your mask on, is their fortunes something to think about? So charging your phone, don't do it all the way to one hundred and keep it there because I think in the battery, can you feel a jingling?

I can't wait a foot while I'm talking.

And plus I didn't shave this morning, so it's briskly fat.

That's so it's like even more, Ah, I hate.

You fat, cannot get through a kitchen door.

We rushing.

Now, See, that's why kids are skinny, because had songs like that. Yeah, you didn't get a fatty too.

I can't get through the kitchen door, that's right. Or is it bathroom door?

No kitchen door because it's eating.

I don't know. I think it was bathroom And.

That's why kids were skinny. Now you've got to look at him and go, you're such a hero for gaining weight. But back in the seventies and eighties when we were raised, they had songs. They had little songs fatty fatty two by four, can't get through the kitchen door.

I just looked up the lyrics. You're right, Yeah, it's a kitchen door.

Of course, because a fatty fatty song.

It's called the fatty Fatty two by four. Uh rhyme.

Yeah, that was an holy but a goodie.

Yeah, let me see. Hang on, let's let's do a deep guy.

There might be a lot to unpack on this fatty fatty uh.

And then big people wouldn't they knew they were. They were like, yeah, fat why is it not opening?

Come on? Except but Nick, it's not open.

I have a I have a really good friend that was went to wagen Riigh School and he went and tried out for basketball. But he was tall, but he was big. He was you know, ended up being a left tackle on the offensive line in football. And he scored twenty points a game and twelve rebounds in the UH in the in the tryout era. So he doesn't make the team. He goes sees the list and he's like, I was the best player. So here's what they look at me, both of you all right talking.

Well, I'm trying.

I don't care about that.

I'm doing Harvard research on Fatty Fatty two about four.

Oh. I like that.

That's good. That's good. So the coach brings him in and goes in front of the mirror and goes, look at that. Now, this is who he used to do the kids. He goes, look at that. He goes, does that look like a basketball player? My buddy goes, no, coach, it doesn't. It doesn't look like a basketball player. You have a coach. I scored more points than anybody else. Yeah, but I'm doing you a favor. I wants you to go to Coach so and So's wrestling room. He goes,

Did you did that?

Now the kid, the teacher would be out of a job for the end of the day.

Dar right.

He ended up being a very good wrestler heavyweight, and he was left tackle on the on the football.

I just told say, hey, we wait and we gotta get some's fat off of you. I'll be like, eh, it's just baby fat, baby fat.

You're fourteen.

I'm talking to you. Rick, you can zippity zip zippity do all out over there.

Okay.

There was a part of Dwight at one time that thought if he when he lost all that weight when he.

Was working out seventy pounds.

He lost seventy pounds. Rick, he called me in a panic one night and said, what if I get skinny and I'm not funny anymore?

I did, that's true, and I.

Said, scared to death, what are you saying that the power of being funny is tied to your fatness? And he said, yes, yes, exactly, It's exactly what I'm saying.

It's like Samson and his hair. I mean it's not it's not a far stretch, right.

So he was afraid he would shed Funess.

What did you say shed exactly right, you'd be playing and loose over there with the FCC violations.

What's the other one? Hair of my chin and chin? Chin? That's why there was three. They were thinking of twights, three chins.

I can't content over there.

I can't even keep keep your chin out like this huge there you go.

It looks like listen listen though like hairy fat, it like magnifies the fat. What's Harvard say?

Uh?

Fatty Fatty two bout four can't fit through the kitchen door when the door begins to break.

Faty had a tummy ache. This is a rhyme.

Whatever you do, don't be fat kid.

I'm gonna you know what I'm gonna. I'm gonna put a pin in this.

Yeah, and I'm gonna do some hardcore journalistic research.

I mean the Harvard This is from the Harvard Independent.

Yeah, I never know.

Fatty Fatty two by four can't fit through the kitchen door when the door begins to break.

Fatty had a tummy age.

Yes, they had a little rhyme or reason for everything to force you not to be fat or stupid.

I want to find out who pinned the joke.

Anybody wore glasses? Hey, four eyes?

That was mean, it was and I never understood it either.

Yeah, but you know when you were in trouble, when when four Eyes would take his glasses off and put it on the counter. This about fight.

Yeah, that's bad news. Let's go back to the beginning.

If you charge your phone one hundred percent just to comfort you, it's not necessarily doing any good for your phone battery.

Chao Yang Wang.

The director of electro chemical in engineering at Penn State University, says keeping your phone at one hundred percent and still charging it will cause your device's power supply to degrade faster than it would if you didn't. So they're saying that you should charge it you around ninety percent and then pull it.

Off, Okay, know that? Or let it drain all the way down.

Who's still to recharge it that before?

Yeah, take it down to zero and then recharge it.

Well, he's so kind of psychopath letting it go down to nothing, That's what I've heard.

Yeah he did.

She did. Like the little red line that's just a shadow of a battery.

Yes, but I tell I tell Jackie all the time, because Jackie's one of those has to have the laptop plugged in deals. I'm like, it's not good for your computer, man.

Yeah, Sitisan does the same way with her iPad.

Well, some that across the kitchen, so it's like a high jump pole or a thing. I'm like, why why did you set a trap in the kitchen with your stupid charging cord.

On the second you hit that extension court too? Here they come, Oh.

I'm sorry, do you guys ever power your phold off completely at night before you charge it?

Or you just do you guys ever?

Uh, stop making fun of Rick.

Sorry, I'm only got fifteen more minutes.

You know.

It's a miracle though, whether and let's say an app. If an app's not working, or like one of the cameras aren't working, it's a miracle. You just turn it off and turn it back on. You're like, oh, it's all working now.

No, I don't do that, Rick, because a psychopath. But what I will do is put my phone on silent. My phone stays on silent.

On the weekends. I've gotten in the habit of losing it for about forty five minutes or an hour to where I walk away from it. I don't miss it.

Oh, I did that yesterday.

I don't miss hours.

I did.

Don't miss it.

I did it for three hours because Susan and I were talking about watching the show.

And it said, I can't remember what it's saying.

I went to the grocery left my phone at home. When I got home, Jackie was on the front porch saying, are you a psycho path? I went what she goes, You didn't take your phone. I didn't know where you were. I was like, are you crazy?

Person? A glorious? I did it for three hours, talking about three hours? No phone, Yes, turn your phone, geor leave it somewhere. Usually I leave it in the bathroom. Well I hang on.

Note to self, never use Tony's phone for a phone call. I might get the pink by you get pink. Well, I used Vanetti's phone to wish my mother a happy Mother's Day.

Nine out of ten times if I lose my phone, it's on the windows, still in the bathroom. This is a fact. But I do clean it every single night with those alcohol little pouches.

Not me.
