Ever experienced the weird mix of annoyance and humor that comes with life's little mishaps? Our latest episode is a journey through the peculiarities of human experience, starting with those pesky unwanted hairs and the oh-so-familiar pain of biting your tongue. We get personal as Producer Sara recounts the saga of her tongue-piercing fiasco, while Moose offers a vivid flashback to her bold teenage years and the unforgettable tongue-piercing episode that followed. From the comical to the impactful, we explore how the smallest decisions, like sporting a piercing, can influence the way the world sees us and even affect our professional encounters, complete with a tale of workplace nose-ring drama.

This episode is not just about the laughs; it's a deep dive into the interplay between our physical and emotional well-being. I open up about the times our bodies cry out for attention, often through injuries that seem like cruel jokes at first but reveal deeper truths about our stress levels and the need for self-care. As we discuss the often-overlooked emotional fragility of the tough-as-nails Enneagram Type Eight, we touch on the transformative potential of bodywork and the lessons we can learn from listening to what our pain is trying to tell us.

Wrapping up with a mix of hilarity and heart, we recount a bizarre mix-up involving what was thought to be a blood clot, only to discover it was a benign result of pet grooming. We don't shy away from the personal triggers around health and family that can catch us off guard, yet we find solace in sharing these vulnerabilities. And to top off the episode, we share the pure joy of connecting with fans in person, reminding us of the special bond we forge through the airwaves. It's a rollercoaster of emotions – from hearty chuckles to sincere reflections – and we invite you to join our podcast family for the full experience.

00:00:04.368 --> 00:00:06.051
Welcome to the Cat and Moose podcast.

00:00:06.051 --> 00:00:07.415
I'm Kat and I'm Moose.

00:00:09.178 --> 00:00:12.785
This is the True Life podcast, where we explore the quirks of being human.

00:00:12.785 --> 00:00:22.411
Okay, hey, kat, hey Moose, hey Sarah.

00:00:22.931 --> 00:00:26.338
I just greeted us all hey guys.

00:00:26.378 --> 00:00:29.751
Hey guys, we're just talking about hairs in the mouth, it's fine yeah.

00:00:30.274 --> 00:00:34.189
Yeah, and then I noticed I have hairs all over my microphone and that grossed me out.

00:00:34.652 --> 00:00:35.796
Oh, now I have to look.

00:00:35.796 --> 00:00:37.222
It's more of a fuzz.

00:00:37.222 --> 00:00:38.569
All right, back on track.

00:00:38.569 --> 00:00:40.497
All right, pull yourselves together everyone.

00:00:40.798 --> 00:00:45.935
I'll tell you what I do have that's different than than a hair in my mouth is.

00:00:45.935 --> 00:01:01.311
I was at a event the other day a radio thing and I bit my tongue so hard oh no, I bit my tongue so hard that it like sent that like shock through my whole body, Like when you hit your funny bone.

00:01:01.311 --> 00:01:03.726
You know it's like it hurts so bad.

00:01:03.908 --> 00:01:12.230
I'm so sorry and it bled, and then it like, and then it like started like swelling, which makes you like bite it 500 more times.

00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:14.162
You know like, oh my gosh.

00:01:14.162 --> 00:01:22.545
And I just realized, as I was checking out the hair on my mic, I was remembering that lovely experience that I had this week.

00:01:22.885 --> 00:01:25.451
When I was 18, I got my tongue pierced.

00:01:25.451 --> 00:01:27.524
Oh my gosh, you did.

00:01:27.524 --> 00:01:32.242
And literally they just hold your tongue out with, like they have like gauze on there.

00:01:32.242 --> 00:01:36.944
They like hold your tongue out with a piece of gauze and then I can't hear this.

00:01:36.944 --> 00:01:47.355
They put this like open bar through a something and they just like put a hole right through your tongue and then the bar goes through it and they put a ball on each side.

00:01:48.075 --> 00:01:50.677
I mean, I've seen it before, but why what?

00:01:50.876 --> 00:01:51.417
inside of.

00:01:51.417 --> 00:01:53.158
You know what possessed me?

00:01:53.158 --> 00:01:54.802
My friend at the time had one.

00:01:54.802 --> 00:01:56.126
I thought it was cool, we all had.

00:01:56.126 --> 00:01:59.203
That was not sexual, it was not at all.

00:01:59.203 --> 00:02:08.044
I later learned that it's maybe runs in those circles I didn't have any interaction with those tongue ring.

00:02:08.085 --> 00:02:10.931
People run in sexual circles, is what she's saying.

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:13.662
Maybe, so maybe.

00:02:13.662 --> 00:02:16.669
Anyway, that was not me at the time.

00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:23.271
I know at least one of our listeners who has a tongue ring and I'm so curious what she's going to think about this episode.

00:02:23.292 --> 00:02:24.021
This is great.

00:02:24.021 --> 00:02:24.884
I would, I am too.

00:02:24.884 --> 00:02:30.384
So I had it for a total of like nine months and I ended up taking it out and bailing on it.

00:02:30.384 --> 00:02:36.164
But I will tell you, cat, it was, hands down, the most painful thing I've I've experienced.

00:02:36.927 --> 00:02:41.485
My tongue hurt for days and I didn't eat for days because you, your tongue hurts.

00:02:41.485 --> 00:02:43.754
So the first thing I ate, this is great guys.

00:02:43.754 --> 00:02:46.447
Just I didn't even know what's bringing this up.

00:02:46.447 --> 00:02:48.134
I went into Costco.

00:02:48.134 --> 00:02:49.179
This is the first time I ate.

00:02:49.179 --> 00:02:49.841
We're at Costco.

00:02:49.841 --> 00:02:54.631
I went to the Costco little where you could get pizza and stuff.

00:02:54.631 --> 00:03:05.592
The Costco restaurant, if you ask me yeah, the Costco restaurant, and I got like a smoothie, like a berry smoothie, and I threw all of it up, all of it.

00:03:05.652 --> 00:03:10.286
Wow why it's terrible I because I hadn't eaten for like three days and my tongue was.

00:03:10.286 --> 00:03:12.700
I was in so much pain, it was like so stupid.

00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:14.122
Anyway, then I got.

00:03:14.122 --> 00:03:16.808
I ended up getting the shortest bar.

00:03:17.229 --> 00:03:18.572
It's called a shaft?

00:03:18.572 --> 00:03:22.145
I think no, it's not called a shaft, Sarah.

00:03:22.145 --> 00:03:23.568
That's what?

00:03:23.568 --> 00:03:24.528
Something else?

00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:25.311
is called.

00:03:25.311 --> 00:03:36.009
It might be Okay bar, because every time I would eat, you use your tongue to eat, right like you throw food around in your mouth from like side to side.

00:03:36.009 --> 00:03:38.460
The worst was an apple, I'm telling you.

00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:44.366
You bite into that apple and then you use your tongue and you throw that piece of apple to the back of your mouth.

00:03:44.407 --> 00:03:58.794
Right, and then you bite, I'm telling you, I know this because you bite, and then I bite into that ball, I'm not kidding, I did it three too many times and I took the damn thing out, never put it back in.

00:03:58.794 --> 00:04:02.834
Yeah, and I still probably have a little thing like a whole like a divot tongue All right.

00:04:02.834 --> 00:04:05.443
Anybody else have some piercing experiences?

00:04:05.704 --> 00:04:08.751
Let me think if I have any tongue things going on today.

00:04:09.092 --> 00:04:13.854
Well, I have a nose ring and I just want to know what circles I run in Me too.

00:04:13.935 --> 00:04:16.101
We both run in some nose rings.

00:04:16.101 --> 00:04:20.634
I bet you would have I ever told the story I got to tell it.

00:04:20.634 --> 00:04:25.946
Okay, this is a piercings podcast, guys, but when I worked in.

00:04:26.086 --> 00:04:26.708
Florida.

00:04:26.708 --> 00:04:43.853
I worked for Christian radio station and I was like 23 years old, something like that, and I got my nose pierced and I came in and I just had like a tiny little diamond in it, like I wear now, a real diamond.

00:04:43.853 --> 00:04:46.584
Of course it's not cubic, is there a cone?

00:04:46.584 --> 00:04:50.552
Yeah, guys, but it's not a diamond, it's from Claire's.

00:04:50.552 --> 00:05:05.478
But I had this tiny little thing and and there was a person in charge at the radio station that thought that that was inappropriate for the work and so uh-huh, and so they said For the work or the workplace.

00:05:05.670 --> 00:05:06.031
Thank you.

00:05:06.031 --> 00:05:10.197
The workplace I'm moving, so my brain is moving so fast the workplace.

00:05:10.218 --> 00:05:11.550
They didn't think it was appropriate.

00:05:11.550 --> 00:05:14.858
This is circa 2003,.

00:05:14.858 --> 00:05:18.115
Okay, so about 20 years ago, anyway.

00:05:18.115 --> 00:05:20.230
So they and I said, well, what do you want me to do about it?

00:05:20.230 --> 00:05:23.536
I, you know, I didn't know that Is there something in the handbook?

00:05:23.536 --> 00:05:25.778
And they're like, well, I think you need to cover it up.

00:05:25.778 --> 00:05:37.886
And I was like, okay, so instead of getting like one of those little circle band-aids and covering up you know just a tiny little thing that would cover my nose, I found the largest band-aid I could find.

00:05:37.886 --> 00:05:38.490
Yeah, you did.

00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:51.915
And I wrapped it over my face, just barely avoiding my eye, and walked into the next staff meeting like that and I feel like that story, as I'm telling it, explains everything about who I am.

00:05:51.915 --> 00:05:54.901
That's a really good story.

00:05:54.901 --> 00:05:55.302
You're right.

00:05:55.302 --> 00:05:56.675
You're totally right.

00:05:56.675 --> 00:05:59.699
Like I do, I can respect authority.

00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:06.733
However, when I think it is not, like there's not justice related to it, then I have to.

00:06:06.733 --> 00:06:10.737
I won't follow the rule, but I will make a statement in the meantime.

00:06:11.290 --> 00:06:15.119
Yeah, yeah, you are like the perfect advocate.

00:06:15.119 --> 00:06:34.637
Like I know that, like aides are protectors I think isn't that one of the words that is used to describe an aide but also like I think that aides are like I was talking to our friend Mark the other day and he said I'm gonna push, I'm a pusher, like I'm gonna push, I'm gonna push things to move down the road, you know.

00:06:34.637 --> 00:06:43.584
And I thought to myself I thought, gosh, that is such an aide tendency and it's so valuable and, just like anything, it's got its flat sides too.

00:06:43.584 --> 00:06:44.449
Blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:06:44.790 --> 00:06:47.653
I mean, I haven't found any yet, but I've heard that there are some.

00:06:48.274 --> 00:06:50.401
Yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:06:52.230 --> 00:06:52.550
You know.

00:06:52.550 --> 00:06:54.678
So here's I said this recently.

00:06:54.678 --> 00:07:04.622
I've been in the presence of an aide lately and I've reflected on kind of my own tendencies and different things like that.

00:07:04.622 --> 00:07:15.817
And for those who are Enneagram fans, I think Enneagram aides were known as, like these, really tough, like sometimes when you're unhealthy, like a bully type, when you're healthy, a good leader.

00:07:15.817 --> 00:07:30.904
We're known for being like bad asses and like willing to take risks and all of that, but ultimately and you guys know this it's if they can get in touch with their vulnerable side and their sensitive side.

00:07:31.127 --> 00:07:37.045
We are actually, in my opinion, some of the most fragile people on the Enneagram.

00:07:37.045 --> 00:07:40.247
Like the word fragile keeps coming up for me and the reason.

00:07:40.247 --> 00:07:58.016
I know that I'm fragile emotionally, I'm not always aware, but like physically, things break all the time and I think because we are body types, we sort of initiate things from our gut.

00:07:58.016 --> 00:08:17.831
Because we're body types, I think things happen to our body before they happen to our insides emotionally, and then we have to reflect on the weakness in the body, which weakness is very hard for us, in order to have the intuition of what else is going on here, which is your land of body work.

00:08:18.564 --> 00:08:30.906
Well, I was just gonna say it seems like AIDS would be really, really excellent, excellent body work clients If, like you said, they were willing to get in touch with that vulnerability and all of that Like that's.

00:08:30.906 --> 00:08:34.094
I need to maybe change my marketing strategies.

00:08:35.346 --> 00:08:43.433
I thought about you a lot, by the way, because this is definitely an injury podcast and so I gotta tell you guys this quick story.

00:08:43.433 --> 00:08:51.413
I got off the plane last night from a work trip and everything was going well and I get my bag.

00:08:51.413 --> 00:08:53.769
Well, that's a whole other story, but I won't tell that today.

00:08:53.769 --> 00:09:08.068
Get in the car, Sarah picks up me and Megan, who is the other best friend of mine Kat would be the original and I have learned to love her more than I am jealous of her.

00:09:08.409 --> 00:09:09.373
I know that that's good.

00:09:10.144 --> 00:09:12.725
Well, megan might be the original, but anyway, okay.

00:09:12.725 --> 00:09:34.493
So, regardless, sarah picks us up and I in the car and I have this excruciating pain in the bottom of my right leg, and it's not quite my ankle, but it's like the bottom of my right leg and I mean it is hot, it is on fire and it's just like throbbing, like level eight nine pain on the 10 scale.

00:09:34.493 --> 00:09:37.832
Oh, I mean, I walked through this dam airport.

00:09:37.832 --> 00:09:40.712
I've been walking for the past three days, whatever.

00:09:41.565 --> 00:09:47.432
So, to my point, as an Enneagram 8, I'm dealing with an injury that I don't even know how it happened.

00:09:47.432 --> 00:09:56.293
And I said I was like guys, megan, you saw me, like she's like you've been limping for three days, and I didn't have any clue that I had been limping.

00:09:56.293 --> 00:09:58.812
You didn't know it, I didn't know it.

00:09:58.812 --> 00:10:07.168
And then when I got in that car I was done with my work trip it just went pop, like that, and I really do think it might be a tendon or something going on.

00:10:07.168 --> 00:10:25.210
But it's so interesting, like I think my body went you're safe now, as weird as that sounds, because I was safe with these people on the road too, but for an eight, I love that kind of safety and then, like I just blew an ankle, it was like you're safe.

00:10:25.289 --> 00:10:26.452
now you can fall apart.

00:10:26.452 --> 00:10:28.327
Yes, yes.

00:10:28.945 --> 00:10:34.251
I think that that's why a lot of people get sick on vacation and get sick like of a.

00:10:34.251 --> 00:10:53.849
Christmas break and get sick on spring break and stuff like that, because it's like the body just like, is like we require it to be, this like high performing thing that's just go, go, go all the time and it really is quite miraculous, like how strong our bodies are and how they will just obey our brains.

00:10:53.889 --> 00:10:54.490
Yeah, I agree.

00:10:56.225 --> 00:11:04.754
And it's like so I think it's really important that every now and then, the body gets a chance to talk, and that's, of course, I'm a body worker, so I think that.

00:11:04.754 --> 00:11:08.655
But I'm curious, like what do you think happened?

00:11:10.250 --> 00:11:13.904
Well, so I can go off the deep end.

00:11:13.904 --> 00:11:36.884
But I have to say this I put ice on it when I got home and then overnight when I went to sleep, I woke up in the middle of the night and again level 10 pain like it just was off the charts and I was like I think my ankle might have a stress fracture is what I, what I thought, because it was just shooting up my leg and it didn't quite feel like nerve pain, it felt like muscle tendon situation.

00:11:36.884 --> 00:11:39.799
So I was like I don't even know if it's a bone.

00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.344
I don't think it's a bone, but so I don't quite know.

00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:50.904
But what was funny is, a little bit later Sarah noticed I was walking around in shorts at the house and she was like you have blood on your leg.

00:11:50.904 --> 00:11:59.904
And I looked down and I have blood in the part that my leg was hurting, the exact area.

00:11:59.904 --> 00:12:19.684
And the first thing I think is oh my God, it was a blood clot and it came out of my skin I'm letting you guys into the most vulnerable part of my heart and I was like because my dad, my dad actually died of a blood clot.

00:12:19.684 --> 00:12:22.705
So you know, we have triggers in life, guys.

00:12:22.705 --> 00:12:23.594
So I was like could?

00:12:23.674 --> 00:12:24.220
a blood clot.

00:12:25.770 --> 00:12:28.304
So I am almost ready to type in.

00:12:28.304 --> 00:12:30.705
Could a blood clot come out of your skin?

00:12:30.705 --> 00:12:32.351
God bless me.

00:12:32.351 --> 00:12:35.654
And Sarah like comes over and she's like.

00:12:35.654 --> 00:12:48.436
I got you a cotton ball with alcohol on it and I wipe it off and it was blood because I was cutting my dog's nails, or Sarah was cutting A dog's nails and whatever it wasn't her blood.

00:12:48.616 --> 00:12:56.211
It was two little smudges of blood Just happened to transfer to her leg Like 13 question.

00:12:56.231 --> 00:13:02.187
I know you just opened a I know, yeah, you.

00:13:02.768 --> 00:13:07.697
Oh, I feel so much better getting that out of me though I feel lighter right now.

00:13:07.697 --> 00:13:08.678
I'm glad.

00:13:09.846 --> 00:13:11.452
Okay, here's the quick answer.

00:13:11.452 --> 00:13:14.284
The dog thing our dogs hate their nails being clipped.

00:13:14.284 --> 00:13:17.732
We haven't taken them to the vet for seven years.

00:13:17.732 --> 00:13:23.375
It feels like that's not true, there it's been a while their nails are long.

00:13:25.489 --> 00:13:27.115
Frankie's are gonna come after us.

00:13:28.067 --> 00:13:30.759
No, it's just been a minute and I tried to do it on my own.

00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.553
I did not bleed him, I did not even injure him.

00:13:34.553 --> 00:13:37.684
Okay, I don't know where the blood came from, because I did check anyway.

00:13:37.684 --> 00:13:39.308
It was a blood happening.

00:13:39.448 --> 00:13:43.057
It wasn't coming from my skin, unless it's a suspicious blood.

00:13:43.057 --> 00:13:47.465
But I will say this I woke up and it feels a little bit better.

00:13:47.465 --> 00:13:54.198
So if it was a blood clot that came out of my skin, okay, nurses out there talk to me.

00:13:54.198 --> 00:13:55.688
Can that happen?

00:13:55.688 --> 00:13:56.711
What other?

00:13:56.711 --> 00:13:57.956
Questions do you have?

00:13:59.587 --> 00:14:01.138
I'm gonna Google it real quick, let me.

00:14:01.138 --> 00:14:04.070
I feel like that I'm.

00:14:04.070 --> 00:14:04.993
I can't think of the.

00:14:04.993 --> 00:14:13.025
I've been sitting here trying to think of the vocabulary word, of the herb adjective that I'm looking for, of the statues that like bleed, do you know?

00:14:13.025 --> 00:14:15.772
I'm talking about like, there's like a phenomenon eyes.

00:14:16.212 --> 00:14:18.096
Oh yeah, is it Mother Teresa?

00:14:18.116 --> 00:14:29.000
No, no, I think it's Mary Mary, yeah, yeah but, but it's, it's called a specific thing, it's called like a something and I was just wondering if you had that gift I.

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.827
That's what I'm trying to get to, I do have that gift.

00:14:32.470 --> 00:14:33.751
Let me read this to you.

00:14:33.751 --> 00:14:55.833
I am a nurse and I'm gonna read this to you guys superficial thrombosis Come on, cat thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein just below the surface of the skin which results from a blood clot.

00:14:55.833 --> 00:14:58.043
It's basically a fart.

00:14:58.043 --> 00:15:02.115
I have superficial thrombophlebitis.

00:15:03.714 --> 00:15:05.528
I Don't think you do.

00:15:05.849 --> 00:15:07.533
I don't think that you do either.

00:15:07.774 --> 00:15:11.532
I'm not wrong, it is related to thrombosis.

00:15:11.532 --> 00:15:13.378
I wish I had thrombosis.

00:15:13.378 --> 00:15:15.565
No, I don't know the universe.

00:15:15.565 --> 00:15:19.716
I do not want that, no, but it's a cool name thrombosis yeah.

00:15:20.567 --> 00:15:21.611
You know what you want.

00:15:21.611 --> 00:15:22.817
You know what I bet you want.

00:15:22.817 --> 00:15:24.424
That you don't have is a hercaldirkle.

00:15:24.966 --> 00:15:26.673
What is a hercaldirkle?

00:15:26.673 --> 00:15:26.955
You?

00:15:26.955 --> 00:15:29.465
I feel like you've told us this before that we should know.

00:15:29.644 --> 00:15:36.032
I know and I was thinking about it when it came up to me the other day and the person said Don't you know what a hercaldirkle is?

00:15:36.032 --> 00:15:40.447
And I was like I really feel like we've talked about this on the podcast and no, I don't.

00:15:40.447 --> 00:15:49.075
And so I'm gonna remind us right now as, as I was reminded, a hercaldirkle is when you get to go back to bed after you've gotten up.

00:15:49.576 --> 00:15:52.042
Oh yeah, right, right.

00:15:52.042 --> 00:15:55.274
Oh, what a great name.

00:15:55.946 --> 00:15:58.091
Yeah, I think it's Australian or something like that.

00:15:58.091 --> 00:16:00.135
Of course, the Aussies are amazing.

00:16:00.417 --> 00:16:01.986
Um, yeah, okay.

00:16:01.986 --> 00:16:06.238
So anyway, I don't have, I don't think I have it, but something's going on.

00:16:06.238 --> 00:16:10.933
I feel so much better sharing that.

00:16:12.047 --> 00:16:12.990
I'm glad you feel better.

00:16:12.990 --> 00:16:16.424
Saying that it it makes me wonder if this might resonate with you.

00:16:16.424 --> 00:16:37.605
Um, the energy flow in the body that is associated with the bladder, yeah, kind of runs from right here on the inside, like corner of your eyes, all the way like a Like like parallel across your head and then down the neck and down the spine and then it splits into like four.

00:16:37.605 --> 00:16:41.985
It's really a really cool energy flow and then it blah, blah, blah does all that stuff.

00:16:41.985 --> 00:17:15.776
Anyway, it runs down the back of your leg and one of the things that's associated with the energy of of the urinary bladder is Releasing toxins, releasing tension, releasing anything that is no longer serving you, and if you think about, like when we pee, we get rid of this stuff, that like our bodies, like can't use that, so we're gonna pee it out, you know, and it just kind of makes me wonder because you feel so good after sharing that If, maybe, if you've got a little bit of like water.

00:17:15.855 --> 00:17:19.788
I got some toxins out, I feel that's so cool, that is so neat.

00:17:20.391 --> 00:17:21.796
The theory works.

00:17:22.465 --> 00:17:23.627
Yes, the theory does work.

00:17:23.627 --> 00:17:35.065
I also find that when I am in that vulnerable place which is hard for me to be as an eight, like in pain, that I Really want people to believe me.

00:17:35.065 --> 00:17:37.390
Mm-hmm, and people do.

00:17:37.390 --> 00:17:51.051
The people around me often do it be you guys and people I love, but it's funny I find myself saying like I'm being serious, this is really not okay and like there's something that needs to be investigated.

00:17:51.051 --> 00:17:58.877
There Is my counselor is listening, my therapist let's put that on the list.

00:18:00.048 --> 00:18:02.825
Let's put that on the list for the little girl with the bloody eyes.

00:18:02.825 --> 00:18:04.869
So you do have the gift.

00:18:04.869 --> 00:18:12.237
Oh my gosh, what like true, the gift of the crying statue like your inner child is.

00:18:12.237 --> 00:18:15.474
This is a thing I got to look up, what this is called.

00:18:15.474 --> 00:18:18.125
I can't like if any of my Catholic friends are listening.

00:18:18.125 --> 00:18:20.198
I'm so sorry to be letting you down right now.

00:18:20.198 --> 00:18:20.258
Oh.

00:18:21.846 --> 00:18:23.369
Hey, sorry to interrupt.

00:18:23.369 --> 00:18:26.637
The word cat is looking for here is stigmata.

00:18:26.637 --> 00:18:30.238
She's gonna continue looking for it throughout the rest of this episode.

00:18:30.238 --> 00:18:31.704
We may hear more about it later.

00:18:31.704 --> 00:18:33.171
Okay, back to it.

00:18:34.345 --> 00:18:37.530
Speaking of Catholics, I got to go to st Patrick's.

00:18:37.530 --> 00:18:46.049
I almost said seminary, but it's not a seminary st Patrick's Cathedral in New York City, mm-hmm, and what a freaking gift.

00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:46.892
Have you been in there?

00:18:47.353 --> 00:18:48.074
I have.

00:18:48.074 --> 00:19:02.964
I was so excited when you sent me that one of our clients that we work with Plays there regularly around Christmas time and it's just so beautiful and we have a really good friend who kind of like runs all of their events there and stuff like that.

00:19:02.964 --> 00:19:09.424
I was so Thrilled that you guys were getting to enjoy that space like it's so beautiful.

00:19:09.884 --> 00:19:11.066
It's like sacred.

00:19:11.066 --> 00:19:15.028
It was so sacred, and did you have you ever gone to the bathroom there?

00:19:15.028 --> 00:19:17.153
Oh yeah, yeah.

00:19:17.153 --> 00:19:19.862
Do you remember where the bathroom was?

00:19:20.672 --> 00:19:26.998
Well, I remember where, like the behind the altar bathroom is, I don't know about like the bathroom, like out in, like the public.

00:19:27.179 --> 00:19:32.785
Yeah, the bathroom is a confessional that they have turned into a bathroom.

00:19:32.785 --> 00:19:33.910
Are you serious?

00:19:33.910 --> 00:19:37.520
Yeah, it took me like a good 20 minutes to find it.

00:19:37.520 --> 00:19:40.230
There is, there's no sign that says bathroom.

00:19:40.230 --> 00:19:42.515
So I go to the information desk.

00:19:42.515 --> 00:19:50.719
After I sat and spoke with the good Lord and I went back, she says it's over here, you can't miss it.

00:19:50.719 --> 00:19:51.821
Look for the red rope.

00:19:51.821 --> 00:19:57.710
Walked right past the red rope because that's a confessional and I don't have much to confess.

00:19:57.710 --> 00:20:00.699
I don't think, and so I just keep walking.

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:03.387
Go to the security guard red rope he says.

00:20:03.387 --> 00:20:04.290
And I walk back there.

00:20:04.290 --> 00:20:05.738
I mean truly it.

00:20:05.738 --> 00:20:14.921
There are confessionals, and then there was one that is a red, has a red rope and if you look close there's a little thing that says vacant or non-vacate.

00:20:14.921 --> 00:20:23.284
It doesn't have a sign for a bathroom and there I walked into the confessional and I did your business, released my toxins as you.

00:20:24.491 --> 00:20:27.227
Don't worry only the liquid kind, that's great.

00:20:27.248 --> 00:20:30.442
Well, right, it sounds bad too, but you know, yeah, that's great.

00:20:30.442 --> 00:20:31.869
So what were you guys doing at St Pat's?

00:20:32.491 --> 00:20:50.730
Well, we were hanging out at Sirius XM with a couple artists and and our contact there reminded me that it had been, I want to say, remodeled, restored, is that the way to say it and I hadn't been there in years I bet it was 10 years since I had been in there.

00:20:50.730 --> 00:20:59.932
So we had like an hour before the flight left New York so we walked over there and I've always spent an hour in there just like soaking it in it's.

00:20:59.932 --> 00:21:03.403
I mean, it was beautiful, the music that was playing, it's wonderful.

00:21:04.207 --> 00:21:05.109
That's so awesome.

00:21:05.109 --> 00:21:08.778
I'm so glad that you got to enjoy that, especially the remodel.

00:21:08.778 --> 00:21:12.296
I haven't been in there in probably Four or five years, so I bet it's.

00:21:12.296 --> 00:21:16.890
I bet it looks even more different because the last time I was there there was scaffolding.

00:21:16.890 --> 00:21:19.777
Oh, there was like yeah, it's like they were.

00:21:19.777 --> 00:21:22.702
They were under like massive construction.

00:21:22.702 --> 00:21:25.155
Well, that is so fun.

00:21:25.155 --> 00:21:26.623
What else did you do in New York City?

00:21:26.623 --> 00:21:28.089
Tell me, you got to eat at Budakon.

00:21:28.810 --> 00:21:29.873
I did need a Budakon.

00:21:29.873 --> 00:21:33.160
This time I ate at a new restaurant called Valerie.

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:34.863
Highly recommend it.

00:21:34.863 --> 00:21:47.470
It's Probably like six blocks from Time Square or so, but I found it online and loved the menu and it was super cool Vibe space and really cool.

00:21:47.470 --> 00:21:48.953
So if you go to New York, check that out.

00:21:48.953 --> 00:21:53.772
I do want to bring up something, though, that you know.

00:21:53.772 --> 00:22:04.223
I'm traveling with Megan, who works with me, and she lives in Colorado, so she flew to Tennessee and her parents got.

00:22:04.223 --> 00:22:10.046
She passed her daughter off to her parents and said, okay, let's fly out from Nashville.

00:22:10.046 --> 00:22:22.340
So we're on the road together and we got talking about things that you can't eat on the plane and it came up that she would allow her daughter to eat tuna on a plane.

00:22:22.501 --> 00:22:30.282
No, no, no, that's not okay, I love you, but that's not.

00:22:31.653 --> 00:22:39.304
She's telling the whole group of us there's like five of us kind of traveling together and we all gasp and we're like what?

00:22:39.304 --> 00:22:46.126
And she's like dying laughing and she's like I mean I didn't know, but I mean I thought so.

00:22:46.126 --> 00:22:58.679
Her whole, her whole Conjecture was that because it was like the pre-made, like tuna to go, that it doesn't stink as much, she's gonna crack open a can hey.

00:22:58.739 --> 00:23:00.304
I'm like tuna is tuna.

00:23:00.304 --> 00:23:02.148
Yeah, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

00:23:02.369 --> 00:23:05.421
Yeah, you just don't eat things that stink on planes.

00:23:06.104 --> 00:23:06.766
No, it's not.

00:23:06.766 --> 00:23:07.730
It's really not cool too.

00:23:07.730 --> 00:23:24.780
I was on a plane a couple of weeks ago and and I smelled this familiar smell that I just love but it should probably go into the category of things you don't eat on the plane and the person Across the aisle for me was eating a bag of Fritos.

00:23:26.511 --> 00:23:28.457
Oh, that's rough on a plane.

00:23:28.718 --> 00:23:31.525
Yeah, it's like Fritos corn nuts like.

00:23:31.986 --> 00:23:36.058
I know I love some corn nuts, but you got to be real selective, where you eat those.

00:23:37.292 --> 00:23:40.784
Yeah they, they are, they're very fragrant, very fragrant, yes.

00:23:40.884 --> 00:23:46.777
I remember, kat, when we worked at what is now called capital in Nashville.

00:23:46.777 --> 00:23:56.829
The president of the company had a rule, because his office was semi near the kitchen area, that we were not allowed to pop popcorn in the microwave.

00:23:57.151 --> 00:23:57.873
Do you remember that?

00:23:57.873 --> 00:23:59.498
I do remember that.

00:23:59.498 --> 00:24:01.564
Yeah, because it was like a pet peeve.

00:24:01.584 --> 00:24:03.714
Yeah, it's kind of yeah, Especially if you burn it.

00:24:03.714 --> 00:24:06.883
Then it's like yeah, what about the people that?

00:24:06.903 --> 00:24:21.077
just bring, like you know, not tuna but like, just like a fish salmon from last night's dinner into the workplace and Microwave it, and the entire place Smells like a fisherman's wharf.

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.063
Yeah, it just.

00:24:22.063 --> 00:24:23.710
It's just unkind.

00:24:23.710 --> 00:24:29.343
It's to me it's selfish and it's it's not thoughtful and it's unkind.

00:24:31.071 --> 00:24:31.656
Thank you, sir.

00:24:31.656 --> 00:24:33.410
I was waiting for a laugh on that one.

00:24:33.410 --> 00:24:37.054
One of our listeners sent this photo in Kat.

00:24:38.415 --> 00:24:43.407
Well, I can't say that I'm terribly surprised at this photo.

00:24:43.407 --> 00:24:47.454
It's a giant GMC pickup truck.

00:24:47.454 --> 00:25:04.084
It's the back of the truck that looks very souped up and a little, a little high on the tires and all that kind of stuff, and there is what appears to be a very, very, very, very large sack of balls hanging off of the biggest sack of balls I've ever seen.

00:25:05.157 --> 00:25:07.630
And it's hanging less than an inch from the ground.

00:25:07.630 --> 00:25:08.535
It's that big.

00:25:08.915 --> 00:25:21.653
If you're new to the podcast, you'll know that this is my biggest pet peeve in the entire world is when a man needs to hang a set of rubber balls off the back of their toe truck.

00:25:21.653 --> 00:25:28.806
Yeah, and this one, I mean I'm just noticing, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not making any comments, but this one has.

00:25:28.806 --> 00:25:37.903
It's got some, um, some like large carabiners or hooks in case they've got to pull out their friend from the mud.

00:25:37.903 --> 00:25:40.584
There's some shocks happening here.

00:25:40.584 --> 00:25:44.035
There is a don't tread on me license plate.

00:25:44.035 --> 00:25:45.160
That's interesting.

00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:50.807
I'm not sure exactly which saint this is.

00:25:51.199 --> 00:25:52.335
Yeah, I was thinking that too.

00:25:52.335 --> 00:25:55.894
There's some sort of there's a real Catholic theme going on here today.

00:25:55.894 --> 00:25:57.299
It feels like it is yeah.

00:25:59.215 --> 00:26:01.320
And can somebody look up this phrase?

00:26:01.320 --> 00:26:03.326
Malverde Jesus.

00:26:03.326 --> 00:26:09.094
So I'm hoping it's positive about the good Lord Jesus, but uh, no, are you ready?

00:26:09.094 --> 00:26:12.694
Yeah, this is going to be great, Malverde Jesus.

00:26:12.694 --> 00:26:14.355
Oh, that's the guy on the back.

00:26:14.355 --> 00:26:15.835
Oh, perfect.

00:26:16.876 --> 00:26:23.214
He's commonly referred to as the generous bandit, or angel of the poor, or the narcosaint.

00:26:23.214 --> 00:26:33.454
The narcosaint it is a folklore hero in the Mexican state of Sinola Lawa I wonder if he had a big set of balls.

00:26:34.951 --> 00:26:44.494
God probably, well, and to me it's like if he's an angel of the poor and a generous bandit, then like I wouldn't think that he'd be the type person that we need to show his balls.

00:26:45.647 --> 00:26:46.213
No, I agree with you.

00:26:46.213 --> 00:26:52.212
I didn't know if that was related or not, but it says it's not recognized as a saint by the Catholic church.

00:26:52.212 --> 00:26:54.213
Just want to put that out there, right.

00:26:55.820 --> 00:27:07.451
The Malverde legend says he was a Mexican Robin Hood type bandit who stole from the rich and gave to the poor in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the Pacific Coast.

00:27:07.451 --> 00:27:09.192
State of how do you say it, Sinola?

00:27:11.523 --> 00:27:13.010
That's a great, try, I don't know.

00:27:13.010 --> 00:27:13.875
Yeah, okay, there you go.

00:27:13.875 --> 00:27:19.035
Oh, he's the patron saint of drug lords.

00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:25.211
Again, not recognized by the Catholic church, by the way, Just for utmost clarity.

00:27:25.211 --> 00:27:30.885
Oh my God, I feel like we need to like delete Everything we just shared.

00:27:30.885 --> 00:27:31.367
Are they going to?

00:27:31.407 --> 00:27:32.171
come after us.

00:27:32.171 --> 00:27:33.055
They might, they might.

00:27:33.939 --> 00:27:34.200
I mean.

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:42.528
that would be a cool story, though, that the Cat and Moose podcast had all this incredible success until the drug lords killed them.

00:27:42.528 --> 00:27:44.607
Yeah, yeah, that would be pretty cool.

00:27:44.670 --> 00:27:46.984
Jesus Malverde, lord, have mercy.

00:27:49.660 --> 00:27:54.614
I just want to say you don't have to put a set of balls on your truck to be a man.

00:27:54.614 --> 00:27:55.055
Yeah, you really don't.

00:27:55.075 --> 00:27:59.599
No, it's actually I think a lot of people have been, I think diminishes your manhood.

00:27:59.881 --> 00:28:03.683
Yeah, I would never put a set of boobs on my truck, would you?

00:28:04.035 --> 00:28:05.461
No, no, I wouldn't.

00:28:05.461 --> 00:28:10.747
And we have a mutual friend who makes boob pots.

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:15.914
Oh, she does, I know her, I know her, I love those boob pots.

00:28:16.276 --> 00:28:17.381
I know what you're talking about.

00:28:18.615 --> 00:28:25.913
And we should have her on the podcast for an interview, because her heart behind why she does it is beautiful.

00:28:26.616 --> 00:28:28.682
How do you guys know who this is?

00:28:28.682 --> 00:28:29.384
And I don't.

00:28:29.384 --> 00:28:31.480
It's remember I.

00:28:32.537 --> 00:28:34.757
Oh, awesome, and so she.

00:28:34.757 --> 00:28:37.525
We toured together in June and then she's been with your team.

00:28:37.846 --> 00:28:38.688
Yeah, that's right.

00:28:38.688 --> 00:28:39.872
Yeah, so great, I love her.

00:28:39.872 --> 00:28:45.285
Yeah, she's done a bunch of other stuff too, but she's tour managing our spring tour.

00:28:45.285 --> 00:28:49.476
And she said something about her boob pots and I was like.

00:28:49.476 --> 00:28:51.942
I was like, will you show me a boob pot?

00:28:51.942 --> 00:29:04.183
Because all I'm thinking in my head is like this flower pot that's like got boobs on it, and she's like no, that's exactly what it is, and I was like oh wow, and they're beautiful, like they're really beautiful, and I'll let her tell us.

00:29:04.255 --> 00:29:15.123
I don't want to tell her story because I'll probably do a terrible job of it, but at some point we need to have a feature where she shares her story behind her boob pots, because I think they're fantastic.

00:29:15.756 --> 00:29:16.660
I love those things.

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:18.419
Who doesn't need a boob pot?

00:29:18.419 --> 00:29:19.856
We just said that.

00:29:19.896 --> 00:29:24.262
at the same time, I have a puzzle about of boobs.

00:29:24.262 --> 00:29:27.282
It's just they're like drawings of different types of boobs.

00:29:27.282 --> 00:29:29.421
I never completed it.

00:29:30.085 --> 00:29:30.930
Well, why not?

00:29:30.930 --> 00:29:33.641
It's hard, it's a hard puzzle.

00:29:33.641 --> 00:29:37.506
Yes, now are they photos or drawings.

00:29:38.336 --> 00:29:40.662
They're drawings, but it's like every kind.

00:29:40.662 --> 00:29:45.337
Whether that you had a mastectomy, double single, it was really cool.

00:29:46.060 --> 00:29:46.823
That's really neat.

00:29:46.823 --> 00:29:51.425
We should do a total thing around breast cancer awareness as well.

00:29:51.425 --> 00:29:53.782
Isn't breast cancer awareness months like October?

00:29:54.355 --> 00:29:57.221
Yes, october, we could call it the boob cast.

00:29:58.375 --> 00:30:00.241
The boob cast just for a month.

00:30:00.241 --> 00:30:02.079
Cat and Moose boob cast.

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:15.988
I met someone at this radio event the other day who I have met a long, long time ago and he didn't remember me until we kind of, you know, jogged our memories a little bit.

00:30:15.988 --> 00:30:21.211
But he came up to me after we had been in the room together for probably like almost two hours.

00:30:21.211 --> 00:30:35.054
And he came up to me, he said cat and I said yes, and he said cat and moose and I said yes, you're, and I said the same thing.

00:30:35.095 --> 00:30:35.779
I said, oh god.

00:30:35.779 --> 00:30:38.880
I said I don't know, I don't know how to feel right now.

00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:42.048
I said but I feel really nervous and he's like don't?

00:30:42.048 --> 00:30:43.711
He said you guys are brilliant.

00:30:46.001 --> 00:30:49.189
I know that there was a at that same event.

00:30:49.189 --> 00:30:57.333
There was someone there who texted me and said I got to be in the same room as cat today and I felt like I was in the room, the celebrity, and it was very.

00:30:58.401 --> 00:30:59.383
That's very sweet.

00:30:59.383 --> 00:31:07.700
She told me that to you and and she was like oh, I already know you because I listened to the podcast and I was like, cool, but that doesn't mean I know you.

00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:18.640
Yeah, it was really, really fun getting to meet a handful of listeners this past week that that love what we do.

00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.790
So thank you guys, thank you for listening.

00:31:20.931 --> 00:31:21.895
Thank you for listening.

00:31:21.895 --> 00:31:22.559
We love you.

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:24.203
We love you.

00:31:24.203 --> 00:31:30.262
