Chia seeds and flax seeds. Yeah, I double-seeded. That might have been... Be careful with that.
I think that might have actually been too many seeds. Straight up in my smoothie. So I have to warn you there's going to be... The introduction to the podcast is coming up.
Okay. I'm getting situated still anyway. I'm getting situated. See how my stomach is in a real interesting place today.
It's kind of... It's algae. Well, you're doing well despite that. Yeah.
Is despite and in spite of the same? Can you use them interchangeably? I hate it when you come to me with grammar questions. I'm a high school graduate.
That's it. You still use bigger words than me. I do, but that's because I'm kind of a dick. I'm a little pretentious.
A pseudo-intellectual I've been called. Rock-ression episode. Number nine. Number nine.
Number nine. Oh, that was louder. That was louder. Oh, God.
Okay. Do you know what this is a reference to? Yeah, Nirmun. Ferrisbueller.
Ferrisbueller? Yeah. No. What's happening?
I'm not even on edibles and I feel like I'm on ed. Oh, God. What? Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, God. That's too much. It's a haunted house. I'm sorry.
I'm at the Minnesota State Fair. I'm in the haunted house. We're going to lose followers. This is the Beatles.
This is the Beatles reference. Why? What I know that. Number nine is from Revolution Number Nine.
Don't know it. From the White Album. Yeah. It's John Lennon's collage.
Take collage. I imagine he and Yoko did together. Mm-hmm. And the thing was, it has this voice repeating Number Nine, the whole through the piece.
And then people went and played it backwards and they said that Number Nine was, turn me on dead man. Yeah. Turn me on dead man. Yeah, this is one of the theories behind like the Beatles.
It was part of the Paulist Dead's conspiracy theory. You don't know that story? I'd have to really care about the Beatles to care about that story. You should care about the Beatles.
And I wanted to, I've been reading a book. Mm-hmm. I've been reading a book. You have your finger in the air right now.
Everyone, you put a finger in the air. I'm not on edibles. He's not on edibles. No.
But he's accentuating his point literally with his finger in the air. Go ahead. At least I'm not pointing at you. True.
It's just pointing at you. It's just pointing at you. Got above. I've been reading a book.
I've been reading a lot of books for you. I know that finger is just sitting in the air. So you're so proud of reading. Look at you.
Look at you reading books. Now you're right. You're just bragging about it. Just openly bragging.
I learned something new last night. I learned what Bob Dylan said the very first time you heard the Beatles. Okay. Which was this?
That's what he said. Direct quote. Direct quote. He was driving down a California highway with a friend.
And the Beatles came on the radio. And that's what he said. Well, yeah. I mean, but can people have their own opinions?
I don't know. Or tastes. I just can't accept this. I feel that those of us which are in the vast majority who adore the Beatles cannot accept.
We are like, cannot accept that someone could not like the Beatles on some level. I feel like you Beatles fans should really embrace maybe some deadhead vibeage and go like, it's okay. She can like her own thing. There's so many people who like the Grateful Dead.
And I think they're fine with me not liking it. And the people who like the Beatles are real but heads. They're like, yeah, no, you just don't understand. You have to like the Beatles.
I know the other day. I know the other day. The other day. The Beatles but heads.
Your parents have like an original English version of revolver. They do. They do. And I pulled it out and I played it the vinyl.
I was like, you know, this is the greatest record, possibly the greatest record ever made. I mean, it's like. And I think when only I'm only sleeping came on, you said, I like this one. Who's this guy?
It was John Lennon. But you liked it. You were like, oh, he's okay. But the thing is, while the record was playing, I actually had the thought like, I don't really want to go through with listening to this whole album.
It's too good. It's too good. There's too much going on, too much brilliance in one place. That's too much for me.
I'm going to step out. I don't know if I want to listen to that. I've heard it enough. So it was the first time I've ever played revolver in any version and said, I'm going to leave it today.
Check it out today. Interesting. Hmm. Why are we talking about the Beatles?
Is this a Beatles podcast? I didn't know we were doing this to me today. Well, it's episode number nine. Okay.
And I thought it was important. I could in my brain, I was like, it's number nine and all I could think it was number nine. Number nine. I'm like, I got to do it.
I think I got to put a reference to number nine, which is the little snippet that reoccurs many times during the epic Revolution number nine from the late album. All right. I'm just going to say a quick piece about the Beatles and then I want to sash away from this topic. I'm going to say it's a little bit more now.
So my little piece is just this is that, listen, okay, I, it's really pretty shallow. It's more like, I'm kind of tired of hearing those songs. I feel like anytime a Beatles song comes on, I'm like, I'm just tired of it. I've heard it too much and but you don't even know who John Lennon is.
You hear John Lennon song, which is so distinctively his. Oh, I don't know. You're right. I don't, I can't distinguish.
I just don't like the Beatles. And that's fine. I just don't like the Beatles. Maybe this will be the year that I come around.
Well, I'm, well, I just told you and I just, I just related to you. So it's not an option. I just related to you that I listened to revolver again and I thought, you know, maybe it's time to move on. But not because you weren't like disliking it.
It was just, it was so brilliant to you that you didn't feel like basking in the brilliance. I thought, no, I thought I, I've heard this enough. Oh, yes. See, maybe I'll let the universe decide when I hear this again.
Like, like obviously because they will hold foods. Yeah, in the car in the car. Or ever. Yeah, and they pound the Beatles.
I think it does kind of change me because I'm like, the world has so much music. And you wouldn't know it if you watched a movie or went to a shop because it's either like the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. And I would sure like to see movies play more. Okay.
It should play more music that was made at the time of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, but it's not the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. I like that. I like that too. There's a lot of that.
And that's actually my favorite music is the music that's, I like, my thing with the Rolling Stones is I like young kids who were in garages in 1965 pretending to be the Rolling Stones more than the Rolling Stones. Hmm. That's a cute image. I've been thinking about Dennis Hopper lately because you're reading that book.
That's the book I got the quote from the Bob Dylan quote. That's cool. Yes. Look at you.
I know reading and quoting and learning. I've been thinking about Dennis Hopper because I like the movie Easy Rider, which I mentioned to you recently. I'm going to have a lot to tell you about that once I hit that part of the book. Yeah.
Well, maybe don't. So I'll read the book. I'll read the book. I mean, I'm going to be reading about Easy Rider and I'm not going to tell you any of the anecdotes.
I don't know. I'll be honest. I don't think I'm going to be able to hold it in. True.
Just tell me. It's fine. I don't really care about spoilers. People are like, spoiler alert.
I'm going to settle down everybody. Some people like to be surprised. Some people like to be surprised. Some people surprise is a big part of entertainment.
All right. I guess, yeah. Well, so I was thinking about him and I really like the song The Ballad of Easy Rider. It's on the birds.
Yeah. You like the birds. I do. I like the birds.
I think the birds sound so cool and well, pretty. The country rock birds, which is what you're speaking of the ballad of Easy Rider. I probably like that too. The ballad of Easy Rider.
There's a wealth of material that birds created in that period, sort of the latter period of their early, you know, the first stages of their career. It's Crosby, posted David Crosby. They did a lot of really cool country rock. Yeah.
Is there anything that you would like to speak of since I ruthlessly imposed The Beatles on this, which I was not, that was not my plan. But when I read that quote last night, what Bob Dylan said, I thought I needed to share it with you. And then also number nine. Well, I think that I feel like you do secretly like that I don't like The Beatles while also simultaneously wishing I did like The Beatles.
I think that you're happy and sad at the same time. Just like Casey Musgrave said. Actually, I think I like that you don't like The Beatles more than anything else. It's exciting for a Beatles lover to have someone in their life who doesn't like The Beatles because you think you're going to like you think it some someday you can play something and you'll say, Hey, what is this?
This is really good. I love this. What is it? And the answer would be The Beatles.
Oh my gosh. I wanted to talk today about I feel so juvenile because I can't say this without giggling. Do you know what I'm going to say? You do.
You do. I do. I mean, to will web weby type feet, like to do and like plexet things. Spongecock.
This is a way of preparing chicken. It is. It's really good. Anytime that I see a Spatchcock to chicken on a menu, I'm like think I'm going to go for the Spatchcock to Chicken and it's always really good.
The Spatchcock it can be done by one person. You're removing sure? Spatchcock to me seems like it would take a couple of people at least two. That sir is inappropriate.
This is a family podcast. You just made it inappropriate by saying it was inappropriate. That could have just flown, that could have just been floating, that could have floated by and you smiled and laughed as you did and you could have moved on. You didn't have to go back and point out.
That's impossible. That is impossible. People are going to be like, did he just, what did he, wait a minute. Oh, I got floats on.
Like, what did I just see that? I mean, that's. Let's be honest, Spatchcock sounds like a sex act, all right? And then we did the Spatchcock.
I don't know. God. You know that this is where I really struggled. Truly juvenile behavior here.
I'm sorry, everyone. And mom, dad, just turn it off. Turn it off. You know that I am prone to saying the first thing off the top of my head.
Don't say it. Shush, shush, shush. I know that. But I'm saying is torturing me like this.
I want to say these things in public. I know. Well, someone's got to reel you in. You're just a wild stallion, aren't you?
I just wanted to. I want to be a stallion. I like the cat analogy. I like the lion.
OK. I like being a bear, too. Anyway, people, I Spatchcock to chicken last night. All right.
It was the first time. And I flattened that puppy. Put it on my trusty cast iron. And I followed an Ina Garten recipe, which, who knows?
Maybe I'll link it in the description. That would be wild. It's like a lemon, onion, Spatchcock chicken. I would recommend taking it to the grill next time.
Definitely. Yeah. Fire. Yeah.
Fire. Propane and propane accessories. Well, what did you think that we were discussing the Spatchcock versus the just full roasted chicken? Oh, in the oven?
Yeah. Full roasted, dry chicken. Yeah, same. I appreciate now knowing how to Spatchcock a chicken.
And I'm so sorry. I can't stop saying it because it doesn't make me giggle. It makes me giggle. What I'm just saying is I Spatchcock a chicken last night.
OK. I do prefer a dry rub only on chicken. I'm not into the dry rub. Who is into a dry rub?
Anyway, does anyone know what we're talking about here, Wink Wink? I mean, OK. Don't say Spatchcock again. I won't.
OK. Dry rub. Dry rub. Yeah.
Dry rub. Cool, shower. Cool, shower, dry rub. Hot oven.
This bird is done. OK. So wow. Well, you just not that word.
Not that word. OK. I just came out. It slipped out.
It's Spatchcock. Yes. Dry rub. But what was I doing while you were Spatchcock in last night?
You know what you were doing, baby? You were writing out lyrics, I think. Weren't you? Well, it was.
We were doing hand-written lyric art from the Barlow Family General Store. Perfect opportunity to talk about our other thing that we do. Yes. The Barlow Family General Store, where musical-related items can be like.
And I would like to say that I am deeply behind in knitting. I mean, I am sadly, sadly behind. Now that the holidays are done, we can finally sell some gifts. Gifts.
Gift to some people. This is a real cookie episode. That reminds me. Don't you think it's time?
Oh, god. Hey. It's been a bottom up. What's that sound, everybody?
You know what that is. Wait, do you not know what that is? I'll tell you what it is. Hey, guess what?
We are ready now for our unsponsored local ad. The distinctive sound of the mini cowbell indicates that it's time for an unsponsored local ad. Courtesy of Raw Impressions. All right.
You ready to go? Yep. Yeah, make sure that side door is closed. Got it.
OK, it's still not closed. No, I closed it. Well, why is it beeping? Stop.
Oh, wait. I feel like that red dot is not going anywhere. I don't know what it is. What the hell looks like an airplane wing?
Is that telling you that door is open? Is it? I don't understand. I'm not a car person.
I drive her. I don't know what cars are so weird these days. OK. You know, it starts without a computer.
It's all a computer. The whole thing is a computer. That's what they say. It's a computer.
And I mean, I barely have to open the doors anymore. Our computer shut down? I don't need to keep open it. I have no idea.
I have no idea what's going on. I know. I don't know. I mean.
We can't be driving with this beeping happen. Clearly. I can't do that. I can't do that.
Flip in mind. We need help. We need a quick. Today's cars are fucking confusing, am I right?
They're like locked toxic mystery boxes covered in hieroglyphics. But there's help. Come to One Grand Honda on Federal Street in Greenfield. If we drop the car, if we won't have the car all day long, what are we going to do?
Oh my god. Our service center, courtesy vehicle, will take you home and then back to One Grand Honda to retrieve your precious minivan. Do you know what I mean? No, I don't know what that is.
You go to the airport in the shuttle. I have no idea. It's kind of like that, except they have a minivan dedicated to just driving their customers from their facility to their homes. And they even come back to your home, get you, and bring you back to their location to get your Honda.
That's what I'm talking about. We make it easy for you. One Grand Honda, we love you. I don't hear that beeping anymore.
Oh, Annie, I think we can drive. I think she's fixed. Thank god they fixed me. Now she'll run for another 75 years.
Oh, God, the last of Honda. One Grand Honda on Federal Street in Greenfield, Massachusetts. That was great. I mean, we are so fucking good at that.
Wow. Oh, God, Christ. Yikes. Whoa.
Deeply sorry. In the red. Ooh. In the red.
In the red. Well, here's the thing is we need to get that darn bulletin board up on this wall so I can put the word wow up there with a big slash through it and then have suggestions written right underneath it. So I go, huh. Yeah.
I'm going to substitute swell. Neat. You could say anything. You saying swell would be cool.
Swell. Swell is kind of a dirty word. I don't know if you can actually say it right now. Just put your lips right up to that mic and say swell.
I feel shy now. That's swell. I don't know. Swell.
Doesn't have the same punch. Does it? No. Huh.
How about kicking? No, because it's got to be that it's got to be that. What do you say when you're excited? How come I only have a word?
What's your word? What do you what do you what comes out of your mouth? Oh my God. This is our rated episode here everybody.

If I hear a really good song, I'll be like, oh my God. That's true. You actually over say. I'm not going to say what you're saying.
You do sometimes on your eating my delicious cooking and the table you'll drive the kids nuts because you'll say over and over again. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God. And they're like, Dad, what the hell? I mean, is he doesn't say that, but you know, Hendricks may say that. Like, what are you talking about?

Yeah. I spatch cock the chicken for you. You ate it. You said, Oh my God.
I said, Wow. End of story. This might be it. I would like to say this episode is totally our rated X rated.
Well, it's always already you bring it. You drop the F bomb. I did it. It's an R.
