Listen to raw impression. The podcast commencing. Listening to the kitty cat using the litter box. You did, didn't you?
The litter box. For real. You recorded that. Listen to the owner.
Scooping. The feces from the litter box. Cleaning. Listen to the owner cleaning the litter box.
Let this all sink in. That's the that's the deodorizer. Listen to the owner vacuum the periphery of the litter box. Listen.
Fascinating shit right there. It's shit. All right. So stinky.
I have the idea. We haven't been able to do a podcast at all. It's been impossible. We had aspirations of doing them when we were traveling.
I went where did I go? Texas. I went to Texas. You then I got home and you.
We swapped. I left. You left for Wisconsin. And yeah, we were like, oh, cool.
We'll do the remote podcast. And we didn't because it's just too much. It's just too much stuff to do. You're taking your help and take care of your mom and being there for her.
I was here with Izzy and the other two. Wow. Okay, that was actually too loud. How fucked up the black and decker handheld vacuum.
I have to oh god. Listen. People got to know about this. I have to dismantle that thing and look at it.
I don't. I'm going to throw it away. Oh, okay. So we have we have two vacuums that we have next to the litter boxes.
There's one downstairs. We use the little handheld. You know, the black and decker. It's the shark, right?
I don't know what it is. But for some reason, the other like like last month we turned it on and it sounded like a fucking reef blower. It was like, why is it doing this? I mean, so wow.
Overnight. It's just turned on us. Yeah, but I thought, you know, since we're doing this like emergency podcast, what is this? Because I'm supposed to be out of that outdoor in like an hour.
Yeah, you're supposed to be scrambling to be scrambling. You and Bobby Bear Jr. hitting the road. You're going to Boston tonight for show Boston.
Yeah, we are squeezing this in literally. Squeeze. Because I just got back last night. So it's like we're yeah, this has been a week.
It was a long week of what happened. And you were talking about the scoping of the litter box there. I was like, huh, is this what I'm actually doing right now through my life? Am I like scoping the litter box of the junk that I'm carrying around and I have to like discard it?
It's funny you say that. Because when I woke up this morning, I had so much, I mean, I love to tour. I love to perform. I love shows.
I despise the first day of a tour. I hate it. It's like, I cannot, I just wake, I have this static, just like, I just, I'm like, what do I do? Yeah.
Am I going to remember all my lyrics? Am I going to get to the show on time? Am I going to, I mean, then, and so one, how this correlates to what you're saying is that the first thing I wanted to do when I got up was take care of things, like do the dishes, scoop the litter box, make the bed and just to sort of begin the day with some kind of control, hoping that by doing those things that it will calm me and organize me to the degree that I can then methodically go through the steps I need to do in the day. Like, I have songs that I want to play for these shows that I haven't played in over a year.
No, but I want to, but one of the really main components is relaxing and kind of doing the inventory of things that need to be done and hoping that the steps fall that I can make the next step throughout the day. And yeah, scooping litter box of life. Damn, right? Yeah.
Yeah. That's the first thing I have to go. I know, because you got to get the shit out of the box because you're going to smell it. Might be covered up.
Yeah. Yeah. That's a good job of covering it up. You may put a lot of deodorant, you know, the cat litter deodorizer over it, but no.
Sometimes you actually have to like put a whole new liner in there, wash it off, start some fresh litter, you know, because time consuming. It feels like I would have done that this morning and I probably could have, but I was like, I didn't want to do the overhaul. I think that we've been the, we haven't quite, I thought you did, I, for some reason I don't want to do the big overhaul on the, on the boxes generally, because it takes time. I feel like I do those.
I'm the one to do who does those. I'm sort of like, I'm getting lazy doing those. I'm, I'm feeling very put out by that process. Well, I was thinking that we should like, I mean, not that if it even shows up, I'm like, oh, okay.
Listen, the dishes being done. Oh, God, those dishes aren't broken, I hope. That could be something I inherited from my father. I just, the way you do them is very loud and banging and clinging.
You haven't, you heard my dad do it? Have I? Yes, Lou. I hate the dishes.
I know. You hear the recycling being put away. You, you hear Lou walking with the recycling and the recycling bin? Oh, dang, I should have given you.
Listen, God bless the voicemail. Oh, God. Okay. That isn't that bad.
There are certain points in my life that, during the pandemic, and recycling was like, watching a dump truck unload at the dump, the sound of the bottles, the bottle. Clanking and smashing. It was like, you could kind of tell it what kind of week it was. Like you can gauge who in the neighborhood is doing how they're doing by how loud they're recycling is that we could say, oh, okay, we always have more recycling than anyone.
I feel like I've never figured that out though, because it's like, you know, the lettuce container, it's the blueberry container. Yes, it's casually ball wine. That's a yogurt container. Like, aren't people living and eating in these homes amongst us here?
They're all very, like, residential domestic people with families. Where are their piles and piles of recycling? I think I think we're the only like American family on this block. When I say that, I mean, we're the ones that like, we just make a lot of garbage.
Everybody else is like reusing. We live in everything they have as Balkan in a glass jar. We do live in their, their, their, their, their, uh, their sack to the co-op and then they write the little number on it and they, damn, I've tried all of these. I mean, before the pandemic, this was really funny.
Before the pandemic, uh, Adele was becoming, what do you call that? You, you were watching. I became hyper-focused on like, on these people that basically would produce one thimble of trash in a week and I'm serious. No, like in a year.
So I, and you're like, I want, I want that. And we started buying all these reusable like, like vegetable bags for the grocery store and we still have somewhere. And saving all these. And there was like zero waste.
I was like, why would we buy a jar? We have all these jars. Look at all these food comes in jars. Yeah, perfectly reasonable.
But the pandemic at all went out. Yeah. Not at the door. Oh my good intentions.
Quickly. Well, you also bulk and things like that became unavailable overnight, you know, during the pandemic. So I did also have literally a pandemic, a global pandemic, kick my zero waste journey in the knees and knock me down and continue to hit me while I was down. So, you know, Oh, what I was going to say is when you're recording the sounds of, uh, did you do a voicemail or how did you record that sound?
Yeah. The fucking miraculous. Is that still going, by the way? The thing?
Yes. Just as no signal. So I wanted to make sure our pad, our little patty pad emergency pad is recording. Meet shark cryo glow, the new med spa inspired mask with under eye cooling, IQ LED technology using high powered LED and deep infrared for visible results in just eight weeks.

Okay. When I was in Wisconsin this week, I was taking a lot of little videos. I want to try to do like a little sub stack post about just the week there in Wisconsin and I was trying to incorporate more video element and like me taking my parents dog Sammy for a walk and whatnot. And as Sammy and I were going for a walk up the road, I heard this interesting sound and I'm not even sure how to describe it, but it was sort of this weird squeaking sound and I was looking all around trying to figure out where it was coming from.
And then I realized it was coming from a tree. And so I started recording the sound and it was indeed a tree, but this tree was like screaming. It was so loud. A tree had fallen and like, you know, like two kind of branches of another tree had like fall like kind of held this trunk.
It's leaning up against it. And I think the sound of the two together, one of them. Oh, they were rubbing. Yeah.
And it interacting. The trees were fucking. Speaking of fucking I just want to say. But fucking.
We're just I know two ships not fucking moving in the night passing in the night. Anyway, so the trees were making this incredible sound. I recorded it. I'm going to put it on the sub stack.
But and then I got to have a really, really incredible dinner with two very dear friends of mine, the night before I left for her one of them 50th birthday celebration. And they were kind of like asking me about all the different towns and things like that here in Massachusetts. Like if it's they're both very much city people in St. Paul, they live in the city.
They don't really know what it's like out here too much in Massachusetts where we live. And so I tried to describe it to them. I was like, well, it's like a little town slash city and we have a little downtown and blah, blah, blah. And they're like, and I said, and on the outskirts of that are these kind of more rural communities.
And I'm like, we have some friends who live in town and some who live kind of more rural, like further out, you know, dirt road, a lot of dirt road people. Yeah. And when is he speaking now again of the pandemic when she was in the pandemic, she was in a little pandemic playgroup called saplings. Oh, yeah.
And it was like, thank God, thank you, thank you, saplings, everyone, it was an outdoor playgroup. When we were able to drive our toddler to this playground, Gil, Massachusetts, we were like months deep in the pandemic and boy, yeah, I don't know. No, it was almost like a year into it because it was it was started like in the winter of 2021. And we didn't have a lot of alone time, if any, at all, right.
Yeah. The reasons that I will not get into it just we challenging. It's challenging. So you know, you need a little reset.
We didn't get a lot of those. But so saplings happened. And so this was an outdoor thing in Gil, Massachusetts, like on the land of a woman very generously, like let the kids and the teacher person who was kind of like nanny slash teaching them fucking guy rules. He was great Chris, my fucking life Chris.
Thank you, Chris. I know seriously, he had like he was so sweet and so genuine. And he was like, I'm gonna walk these kids around winter and nature. And I'm like, God bless.
So I saw him at Target years later, and I didn't recognize him because he never changed. Never seen without a mask on. Oh, I know. Yeah, he was all because we're all masked outside on the top.
I can mask outside. Oh my gosh. So to get to the thing I was trying to say, so I was describing it. And one of the one of the kids, or maybe two of the siblings, they literally came, they were delivered by their mother or their father, depending who it was that day, like it looked like from another era, you guys, it would be a little else on the road.
I'm not exaggerated at all. It came across a snowy field pass cows on like an old time, you almost like slay. Yeah, like an old fucking sleigh. Yes.
Yes. And these people run, they run this farm that sells like raw milk and chips. Yes. And their home is 100% so they built a home entirely considered, I guess, off grid.
And so it's pretty rural, you know, it's out there anyway. So she would come in and then the dad even when it was time for the little boy to like wander the field, sometimes he went back by himself. The dad would literally do like a whistle or a call. It was so funny.
We were like, Oh, it's time for someone to walk back past the cows and through the fields. And so we were just kind of like talking about that there's this mix of like people who are off grid as well as living in the community and stuff like that. And and then I said, just this thing, it was really, I don't know why I said it, but I was like, I don't want to live like off grid because I'm, and I don't know if we've actually really shared this on the podcast, but I am, I feel more comfortable in community with people like being really close to people. And I said, I want to be on the grid.
I want to fuck the grid. I want to fuck the grid. I want to fuck the grid. Yeah.
Anyway, that's how close I want to be. I think that I actually fuck the grid. Yeah. I've been doing that for a while.
Yeah. But I also really love like being in those places too, you know, like I love, you know, spending time in these rural places and getting to experience the quiet and the nature and the sounds and the beauty. It's so incredible. Like I do have a part of me that very much loves it and feels feels like kind of filled up from it.
But yeah, it's like, I think, I guess you can't have both. It's got to be kind of like one or the other. But I think in the end, I probably have to go to the city thing, you know, but one of the people that we know who lives out there, almost off the grid, writes for the New York Times. Do you know what I mean?
Like we have people, these people actually have one foot. Yeah. I mean, that's true. Do you know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're kind of finding the, I guess the best of both worlds, right?
They're getting their piece. They're really, I want to really do the like dirt road life. Yeah. They also have the other foot in the middle of Manhattan, really.
That's true. That's true. I mean, well, our friend Alexis, you know, I'm going over there on Tuesday because we're doing kind of like a pottery Tuesday thing and she's helping me and their home. And remember to have her adjust your bra.
Oh, well, I have a bra that needs to be adjusted and Lou can't do it. I fucking, I cannot put a life of me. Figure out how to adjust a bra. It's like actually even like putting on bicycle helmet.
It's like putting on guitar strings. Yeah. Not good. I bought a new bra and you can't adjust.
You couldn't figure it out. So I did once you're shaking and hands were they were shaking? I don't know if you were just like pulling on because you were feeling frustrated, but I was just trying to make it go. But anyway, we have a good friend who lives for further out there, too.
She's not super remote though. I mean, I don't think they're super road. Well, it is a dirt road, but dirt road life, but she's only like 10, 15 minutes away from Shelburne Falls. Or is that what's called?
The bustling urban hub hub. Anyway, I'm just saying I love their land. It's very beautiful. Yeah.
It's so peaceful. Yeah. Anybody wants to come out? Yeah, go to Shelburne Falls.
It's really cute. People really, really, they sing when they do see the oh my God, it's just like people. It's certain people. Yeah.
It's really like it's idyllic. Well, I think that's maybe the cutest one of the cutest ones for sure. For me visually, I like Shelburne Falls. I think it's adorable.
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, if you've seen the holdovers, you might recognize some of the town because it's they filmed some of the scenes. Yeah.
Yeah. They filmed Paul Giamatti. Paul Giamatti is so good in it. If you haven't seen the holdovers, I recommend.
Yeah, they filmed in Shelburne Falls and at Northfield Mount Herman School and at Deerfield Academy. So it's got some little tour. Northern western mass flavor. It really does.
Yeah. That's because that's where we're at. Yeah. Well, wait, were you going to play a song?
No. Oh, okay. I thought you were. Oh, you don't have to, but I forgot what we were doing.
I was like, what are we doing here? It's just an emergency pod. I was thinking about should I just practice this song? Yeah.
I miss you. I want you here in my arms and in my hair. I hold your neck and watch you brace the wave. When I'm not home for ages, I look for ways to fade.
And in my mind, you're so fine. Breaking wave. Thank you for your long girl on it. I'm lying.
I'll never leave me hungry. Never leave me dry. Brace the way. I'll leave you alone.
Don't go. I'll leave you alone. Don't go. I'll leave you alone.
Don't go properly. I'm never thought I'd take own disappointment and put it on me. I don't hear the warning signs. And it's on time.
I'll leave you alone. Don't go. I'll leave you alone. Don't go.
I'll leave you alone. Don't go. I'll leave you alone. Don't go.
I don't wait to move. Listen. With the wrong pressure to podcast. There is no time to look.
Thank you for dropping in. At the time that you took to begin. Good luck. Good luck.
That last line of the song I've never known went meant. I guess I can play that at the shows. I remember it. Sounds good.
You did it. Yeah, you did. I think you did it well. It wasn't too bad.
Your voice sounds good. I'm gonna have a really good time singing. You are. It's gonna feel so good to sing and you and Bob, you're gonna laugh and the audience is gonna laugh and it's gonna feel so nice.
Not as nice as these sounds that we're hearing right now. Boy, these are so comforting. I think I better just throw that directly to the trash. Fuck that vacuum.
Fuck it. Oh my god. What the hell? Why would it all this?
Why would it go from being like a perfectly functional handheld vacuum cleaner to a leaf blower? Something broke out. What happens? I didn't break it.
No, I know you didn't. I'm just saying. I'm saying I always break everything. I'm man-hand.
I'm man-hand-hand-blower. Rompressions.
