leaking and limping

I won't talk over to the intro this time. Aren't you talking right now over the intro? Well I'm gonna edit it out. Yippee-yay!

You're all impressionants. Feed me your life. Husband and wife. duo.

Del Barlow and Lou Barlow present the Raw Impressions podcast. Temptressions. Free form. That was a nice intro.

Yeah. I'm smiling. We both just sighed at the same time. We had a big, big ass party in our lawn yesterday for Halloween.

Yes. How many children were there for? Or free form podcast. Yeah, semi.

Semi free form podcast. Oh my gosh, I'm stiff. I'm tired. It's snowing outside.

It's November 1st for us today. You're gonna hear this to Moomoo. So it'll be November 2nd for y'all. And then last night was Halloween.

And we host a very, very large Halloween party in our yard on our front lawn called Hot Dish Halloween. It's a bells invention. Hot dish being for Casaroles that she grew up with in the Twin Cities. Yeah, we don't call it a Hot Dish.

We don't call it a Casarole honey. It's a Hot Dish. I like Hot Dish. Thank you.

Yeah. I like saying it. I like thinking about it. You are a Hot Dish.

Mmm. What's that? Well, I had a good time at the party. Yes, me too.

I would say maybe too much of a good time, but I don't think I had too much of a good time. I think I had a perfect amount of good time. I did too. Actually, it was just great.

I was stressed at the beginning because all the people are descending. It's big y'all. It was about double the size of from the year before. I'm sorry, I'm interrupt.

Can I quickly say that the reason that this song was playing in the background, that's what went through my head all night long last night. Really? Don't pull your love out or whatever that song's called. It's probably not called Don't Pull Your Love Out.

It's three names, three guys. It's like Joe Frank and something. We have a strange name. I know that song.

That's a huge change. A huge hit from the 70s apparently at the same period as the streak by Ray Stevens which I covered faithfully covered in the mini music Monday. Yeah, that was fantastic. So I just had it repeating throughout my head last night and I just wanted to demonstrate what it was like to be in my head.

Don't pull your love out on the baby. If you do, then I thank them maybe. I'll just leave it down. Cry for 100 years.

I don't really love that. I don't really love that on my honey. Take my heart and I saw my money. I don't really hear drowning about this.

You say I leave it here. I'm going to take that big white bird. You got to find a ride out here without a single word. Don't pull your love out on the baby.

If you do, then I'll take the date. I was just one part of the song over and over and over again. So I think I, even though I did not have too much fun, I did have a bit of a rest last night and a bit of a groggy morning. It was hard to get up to date.

I get the kids ready for school. Oh, I was so tired. I feel like I just got a slap and slap. But also because it was dark.

I'm not going to be able to get a little bit of more fun. But I think the kids who are coming up here from the Twin Cities, you bring the culture that you grew up with to the east coast. They're like, what is that? What do you mean?

You mean a casserole and I'm like, no, I mean a hot dish. But you can call it a casserole. But everyone really gets on board and it's so fun. Folks made some tasty hot dishes.

Our friend Sarah, I think it was her first time making a hot dish and I thought she did fantastic. She kind of did like a spicy hot dish. It was, and I think she called it a spicy hipty hot dish and I thought it was really funny. beautifully delivered.

My thing is is that I think that both her and Genevieve, our friend, also brought a hot dish. They brought a little bit more of a Western-ass vibe to their hot dish and that they showed up with them in cast iron skillets. Oh. And where I'm from, everything is in a Pyrex.

Pyrex. Pyrex, Pyrex, Pyrex. That reminded me. I thought of like funny kid names yesterday.

Pyrex would be a great name for a kid. Pyrex is a fantastic name for a kid. Mylar. I tried briefly.

I failed. I tried. I don't want to make a rainbow arch. I was like, oh shit.

I'm gonna have to make a balloon arch, which means like tying together a lot of balloons. Because we still have a leftover hank, a tank. You guys were so tired. A helium tank.

I thought Hendricks and Hanall are how to Izzy, not Hanall are your other daughter, old man. In Hale, helium, and changed their voice in. So they did that quite a bit. So there wasn't there really wasn't a lot of it.

It got drained pretty quickly. It was. And I'll tell you I tried to blow up a few of those balloons by mouth. Oh, and I think I think it's carcinogenic for sure.

I was getting like powder from from the from the from these cheap black balloons like oh my mouth. I'm like, this is what definitely did you. Well, it was in the sale bin at Target. And I just thought, oh, this will be cute for Hat to Shaloween.

I'm gonna get a big fun balloon thing because I'm gonna use other rest of that helium tank we have. And I think you only got a few balloons, but really small, really sad balloons. Oh, now it's all done now. What do we do with that tank?

Where does the tank go? The tank has to go to the the transfer station, AKA the dump. Oh, okay. You don't return it to I think I bought it at BJ's with my dad.

Oh, you did buy it at BJ's. That's right. BJ's is like our Costco, if you don't know. And okay, so you're right.

I guess we have to bring that to the dump. I got to bring it to the dump. I have to go online first and look at the preparation, how you prepare the tank to be delivered to the dump. Oh, something about just driving to throw it in the woods somewhere.

Honey. Don't worry. Don't go dump trash in the woods. I don't know.

I can tell you as a kid wandering through the woods and finding trash was really fun. It's interesting. Yeah, I sure did find some interesting trash in the woods when I was growing up as well. Some of it quite pointy and unsafe.

But anyway, and Lou, I'm watching him massage his leg. Let's shift. So I'll just let y'all know we had to Halloween was a success. And if any of my friends are listening, thank you for coming out and helping bring the joy and embracing my midwestern.

Ideas. I love it. But so moving on to other news. Let's talk about our aging bodies, everyone, right?

Is this another news? I'm old. I have seen our demographic for our podcast and it's we're in the pocket. I'm gonna tell you a story.

This may or may not say on the podcast, but I'm just gonna say it. No, I had to get. Don't be mad if I tell you have to edit it. I know.

Okay. Maybe this can be like a super special edition somewhere. Okay, here's the thing. Yes.

One of the most embarrassing things that's happened to me possibly ever. It happened today. So I had to get an x-ray. Yes.

So wait, why did you have to get an x-ray? Because I have a pain in my leg. Possibly arthritis. Moving on.

I said, I said, I, so the doctor suggested an x-ray. And luckily that morning when I was leaving the house, I was like, oh, I gotta put underwear on. I definitely have to put underwear on because I'm gonna have to take off my pants to get him for him to check out my knee. So I went in and I got some underwear on.

Okay. Some blue underwear. I wanted black underwear. And this will come in that piece of information.

Hold that. Okay. So. So I went to the doctor's office and this morning, yes, my I dripped pee.

Oh, I was a little drippy this morning. Okay. It happens from time to time. Hasn't been happening a lot lately.

I don't know why. I pee myself pretty much every day all day long. All I have to do is laugh or sneeze or I've dripped throughout my life because of my use of suitifed. To run.

To really make me kind of drippy. Oh, meds can make you kind of drippy. So being drippy is not okay. I this morning.

Fortunately, I was drippy. So when I removed my trousers and he called them trousers, which I was wearing. He said, please remove your trousers. Yes, he did.

He said trousers. So I removed my trousers. And I knew this was there, but I had kind of, you know, there was a urine stain. There was a urine spot on my on my blue underwear.

You could see. Oh, it was blue. Yeah, there was a pretty solid circle. Oh, on my, my undies, my Calvin clients.

Sure. And I was like, Oh God. And so I realized that this had happened as he left the room for me to remove my trousers. And there was just this piece of paper sitting on the bench on the bench there, that movable bench.

I think it's called midmark. I'll never forget that they're called mid marks, these big, the bench. So that's a piece of paper. So I'm like, I wrap around myself when he comes in.

I'm like, I really don't know. Like a gown? No, just this paper. Oh, she did paper.

So it was large. And so I was like, I really didn't want him to see my urine stain. So I almost kind of like, I tried to tuck the paper under my underwear. I tried to tuck it.

So I was wearing this kind of like skirt of this medical paper. And he was kind of like, and he was, he must have come in really great. So he had me sit up on the midmark and I put my leg down and he twisted it around and nothing really hurt. And we were talking a little bit.

And then he said, well, stand up. So I stand up and I'm still wearing this crinkly thing. And I'm really trying to bunch it around my underwear because I really don't want him to see my piece. Thank you.

Care that much. It was a really big piece thing. I cared. Okay.

I cared. Fair enough. Yeah. We all care about different things.

I got it. And one time in history, there's a picture of me with a piece staying and I find it mortifying. Anyway, um, the whole story behind that too. But so I'm up and I'm holding this like my paper skirt that I'm not I'm clutching and I'm trying to actually roll it under the band of my underwear.

He must have been like, I think I was like, no, I never met. And then he was kind of like, well, this thing's really kind of getting in the way. Don't you think? Oh my God.

It's like sir. Paper skirt. What are you doing with this fucking paper? So I'm of course, I move it and I still keep it kind of bunched in a big ball in front of my crotch.

He's definitely aware now that something's happening to me. Maybe not. Maybe. Maybe that was this is just the beginning of this story.

So anyway, I got my trousers back on. He's like, got to head across the street to the hospital and get yourself an x-ray. So I got across the street. Wait, what'd you do with the paper?

Did you put it on the trash? I just left it on the floor. You left it on the floor? Okay.

I thought it was best that I just get out. I just get out and I get my x-ray. I wanted to get that done because I wanted to have a nice long, you know, share. I delivered you to that place.

I didn't know this had even happened. Exactly. But I wanted to get out. So clearly I had to go across the street to the x-ray.

Yeah. And I'm like, you know, I'm like, okay. So we're in you in your head then going, what am I going to do to cover up my pee pee stain? Well, here I felt better about it.

Because I knew over there in the x-ray place, they would have Johnny's. Yeah. But make you wear a gown. No, make you wear a gown.

Yeah. Yeah. No, give you time to put it on. Right.

So I got there. And the x-ray technician is a friend of mine. I've known him. I think I met him 30 years ago.

30 years ago, he's a DJ at W.M.U.A. I can mention his name. Why not Phil Straub? He's a DJ here in town on a billie or in this area.

Fantastic. On the river. He's a special. Yeah, he's awesome.

DJ. Awesome guy. He's the x-ray technician. So I get in and I said, do you want to put on your Johnny here in the room or do you want to put it on in the room?

Because I had a whole, and I'm like, I'll just do it here. So I got to turn it back and we're going to chat and it was cool to catch up with him. I always really like Phil quite a bit. And I don't see him often.

But I, so I get the Johnny on in the room and I'm like, I'm reasonably sure that I'm like, okay, I'm covered. The wet spot is covered because it's still there. I did not dry out. It's cold and damp out, so it's going to just hang out.

I leaked more fucking urine into my little older. So the leakage is a little more. Sometimes when it leaks, it almost feels like it's just kind of. Maybe you should get some period panties.

I thought you were going to say maybe I should see a. Erologist? A peepee doctor. Yeah.

No. Anyway, so it's on the table. But you got a Johnny on. So I got a Johnny on.

So I can't see it. Right. Right. So when, so he gets my front.

I'm going to have to turn over and when I turn over, yes, more liquid seems to, I don't know if it came out of me or whether it. How much soon have fed are you taking? I didn't take it. This has nothing to do with student.

I'll tell you I don't know what it is other than fucking getting old. Interesting. Leaking dicks. Leaking dicks.

Or maybe I was taking a lot of ibuprofen. You know what? People, who know? Parts leak.

They do. Like I said, I mean, I don't know. Yeah. So, yeah.

So I'm like, and then like new moisture comes. And I'm like, at that point, I'm like, Oh my God, I think the gown is getting wet. Wow. I'm like, I'm not literally pissing myself.

But this moisture that had developed that I had deposited, it was enough that it was really hanging in there. And just really like even just, you know, running down still. So when I went to my side, I felt this kind of more moisture gathered there. And I'm like, and I was feeling very strongly that it might actually be penetrating the Johnny, in which case, my old friend, my old friend Phil Straub.

I feel my inset, it might see that that I pissed myself. Okay. That will then be an information about Lou, a little piece of information about Lou Barlow. Well, pretty much anyone can know that now.

If they listen to the podcast, no secret. Well, so what happened? Okay, I'm saying what happened? We what's the climax to do?

It was like, so I got, you know, I put my pants on. Okay. And then, and he's like, well, you know, we can see. The X-rays, if you like it, I'm like, oh, you know, my wife's out in the parking lot, because I was kind of still feeling kind of like fleeing a little bit.

Yeah. Okay. Even though I love Phil and like hanging out with them, I talked to my brother. I wasn't about his family with them.

I'm like, how's the brother doing it? I mean, there's a great songwriter guitarist anyway. So I end up like just sort of being there and then hanging out and looking at my, the X-rays and then pulling down, you know, my sweat, or just enough to make sure because you know what? I didn't say this in the beginning of the initial wet spot was also on my jeans.

Wow. It was a big one. So that would give you an idea. Okay.

Okay. Oh, sweetie. I'm going to start like leading you by the arm soon and just, okay, come on, Louie. And apparently, you know, this whole ordeal, it might be, I mean, this might be the next bit of information I'm finding out about my advancing arthritis.

Wow. I could be arthritic. It's not confirmed. Okay.

It's a theory they're working on. It's a theory. That was the doctor's theory. I told him he's like, well, my never threat is.

Well, so, but I'm relieved that when Phil looked at your X-ray, he didn't see like a blood clot or something. That was my worry. That was their worry. That was my worry, of course.

Okay. You know, two weeks ago when the pain was really coming on. It seemed like it was really telling you hard. I talked myself out of that.

Okay. Because I know it is from a repetitive stress of me jump because when I dance with the other junior and I love to dance with the other junior. Yep. Oh, dear.

I hope you're dancing. I always use my right foot is like really where I bring my weight down, but I may not be able to dance no more baby. Daddy can dance. Oh, no, you're going to be leaking and limping.

Leaking and limping. Leaking and limping with Lou. Oh. What do you need like an A-SPAND-Ditch?

I don't. I said, do you think it would be a good idea if I went to CVS? I'm sort of braced because God knows I love you. You love a brace.

Okay, guys. We have like a graveyard of braces that Lou has embraced. I'll tell you what I had this realization yesterday. This all could have been alleviated by me simply going to CVS, getting a brace, putting on the brace there by reminding myself of this injury and then avoiding using this leg as much because the brace says, hey, be careful with me.

I'm very, I did this with my phantom elbow. Oh, my gosh. This leg made it go away. You love a sling.

Oh, yeah. And so yeah, I got to get something. He called it a sleeve. So I'm gonna get a string.

I'm imagining some sort of knee sleeve. Right. And it's probably got a hole for the cap where you can bend or something. Look at them.

Look for them. Look for them. And I'll have that like when I play the shows and stuff. I'm gonna go.

You're going to London. He's going to London, everyone. That sounds exciting. It is exciting.

It is kind of exciting. So exciting. Oh, my gosh. I wish I could be there.

It's gonna be amazing. London. London. It's cool.

How fun. I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of people. I love to really, really experience London. London and from the surrounding area that maybe they're sick of London.

You know, they've grown up with it. They've been in and out of it. It's really expensive to paint in the ass. You know, you love London.

I love it. Yeah. Last time I was there, I walked miles just to these neighborhoods. I know we would like FaceTime and talk while you were walking.

We'll be doing it. You're walking now, mama. Oh, my God. Gonna be just laying in your room, limping and leaking.

Holy cow. We're gonna have to get you some long tops to wear so that you can cover up your drippies. Hmm. I think you need some period panties.

You should try out some of my. I was gonna do that. I was gonna name them but thanks. I think they're called things.

Thanks with an X. Yeah, I guess maybe that's where I'm at now for adult diapers. Yeah. Well, why not?

Although I would say the period panty over the adult diaper because guess what? I have adult diapers. You want to know why? For a period.

Because it's so wild and so out of control, y'all, that I need like a full, I practically need a onesie. I need like a period onesie. Okay. This is what's happening right now.

I need a full body onesie to bleed in. Listen, you know what's happening right now? I don't. Best episode.

Never. Oh my God. We're talking about diarrhea right now. About some fucking loose parts.

Oh God. Accidental anal leakage. Oh God. You could tell.

My days of not wearing underwear are numbered. Wear some underwear, honey. I'm gonna get you some for Christmas. Free balling.

That's what I love. Get those balls off your jeans. Free the jeans. Those poor jeans.

The things that they have seen. I really feel for them. You know, if I put myself there like, my God, no, no, no, no, you're leaking on me too. I thought you wanted to meet my jeans, baby.

That wasn't our wedding vows. I will be your jeans. No. I'll be that.

I'll be that soft pair of denim. Oh my gosh. Now you're just inviting people to like check your pants to see if there's a leak stain. All your, all your adoring fans are gonna come up to the beach.

I said, everyone, I'm searching. You're just coming to town. Keep an eye on Lou. If you see someone with a day puffy hair limping around London.

You know what's in front of my penis when I play? Paper skirt on. What? Not just pants.

But my base guitar. The base guitar rarely rarely do I swing the base guitar high enough. This is now we're aging into her. I'm what I'm saying is I never show my crotch.

Okay. Briefly. I'm just going to be doing the course of a dinosaur genie show and now that I'm not going to be moving at all, I'm just going to be standing there. Oh my gosh.

It's like sunglasses and a thick cigarette hanging out in the corner of my mouth. You should like wear your knees, sleeve over your jeans to just really let people know your compromise. Like, hey, here's my sleeve. I know.
