WEBVTT - Throw It Away or Give It Away?

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Do I throw it away or do I give it away?

0:00:02.279 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>It's one more thing.

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm strong and getty.

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh a rare.

0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Michaelangelo hosts one more thing before we get to his topic.

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>During the radio show, we brought up that the smart

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>rings that you can get I guess there's a couple

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 2>of different brands, is like this four and a dollar

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>ring you wear on your finger and it can measure

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 2>all your heart health, sleep, habits, blah blah blah stuff.

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>And you have an app with your phone and everything

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.199
<v Speaker 2>like that. And you said you had one for a while, Katie.

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I checked it probably regularly for maybe a

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 3>month and a half two months, and I was like,

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 3>all right, it's just I don't know what to do

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 3>with this information.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a pretty decent point. And I would imagine

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>unless you make drastic changes in your life, a lot

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>of it's going to be the same for a very

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.760
<v Speaker 2>long time, maybe the rest of your life.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 2>But so you got indications that you weren't sleeping much

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 2>or enough.

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I wasn't getting enough hours and I wasn't spending

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 3>enough time in rem sleep and I've again, I don't

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 3>know how to change that.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 4>Was it like sleep apnea or something like that, because

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 4>I worry about that occasionally.

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 3>But m M, it wasn't sleep apna. My heart rate

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 3>stayed the same, my breathing was normal. It was just

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 3>I bounce out of deep sleep really quickly.

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Well that's a good point. Now, the hours, obviously, you

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 2>could we could all change the number of hours we

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 2>spend in bed. You can't change the number of hours

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>that you're in ram. I mean, I don't know how

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I would.

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 3>No something specific going on, and I have this weird

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 3>complex where it's like I felt like it was telling

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 3>me I was doing a bad job.

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, I'm done listening to you. That's funny.

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>That's what Tim Sanderfer says. He doesn't want his watch

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>yelling at him for not standing up enough and stuff.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, kidding, shut up.

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I had a dream the other night that I was

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 2>lifting weights at the gym. I was by myself in there,

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 2>and I dropped the bar on my neck and I

0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>was trying to crawl to my car to drive myself

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to the er. And it was one of those dreams

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>that seemed like that lasted all night long. It could

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:11.399
<v Speaker 2>have been five minutes. Yeah, it's like what does that mean?

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>And it clearly was. It's funny. I just had the

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 2>conversation with the therapist about how I don't ask for help.

0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I need help with various things. I'm getting snowed under,

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>trying to take care of the kids by myself, blah

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>blah blah, don't I hire more help? And that's clearly

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>what the dream was. I was crawling to my car

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>with my crushed throat so I could drive myself to

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the er rather than calling nine one one or something.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what the dream.

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 4>Meant, right, It sure sounds like it.

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Of course, dreams don't have to mean anything. Joe and

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I used to have dream analysts on all the time,

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 2>and they were mostly Charlatan's.

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Ridiculous laughable, so we laughed.

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>So you know, it wasn't that bad taking advantage of

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>sad or old people. What's your story, Michael.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>My wife has looked in the closet and says I

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>need to throw away all my old.

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.399
<v Speaker 2>Clothes basically because of fashion or size.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't wear them and it's just taking up space.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, do I I guess the question I have is,

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>for example, we have some old towels. She wants to

0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 1>change out the towels. But I've told her, hey, just

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>wash them, we can give them away to goodwill or

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>something like that. She wants me to throw them away.

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>And how often do you change out towels? For example?

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you guys change them out every rid

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>of them?

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean do you change them out every six months?

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 4>No? When we're ashamed of them, that's when you you

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 4>get rid of. There's nothing you're embarrassed for people to

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 4>look at them.

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I realize my lifestyle is not like most people's, but

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that I ever have in my life

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>other than like they just get lost or something.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, like you, Jack, I just keep the same

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 1>towels and keep re washing them. Ye.

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I've never kept thirty years.

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I've never kept a towel long enough to wear it out.

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think.

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Can how do you lose them like a bath? Tell

0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.119
<v Speaker 4>what happens to them?

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't have the same towels I

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>don't have well, I don't have the same towels I

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>had when I was twenty five. But I never act.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm as, That's what.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering too. I've never actively gotten rid of them.

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 2>You know what I do a lot, and this is

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>not good. Is I've moved a lot in my life.

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm bad at unpacking. I'm doing this right now in

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>my house. I have an unpacked since my last move.

0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Like I bought some new a new screwdriver last night

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 2>at the store because I don't know where my screwdriver

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>is from the move, so I probably do that. I

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 2>got boxes of old towels. I've never opened the boxes,

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>so I had to get new towels. That's probably what

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>I do. But no, I have never thought does your

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 2>wife do this because she wants a different look, like

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>a different color, or is it because she thinks they're

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>worn out?

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>She thinks they're worn out, well, then get new towels.

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>But what's what I'm trying to save money? And so

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>what's a.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Worn out tile? What is a worn out towel?

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 4>It looks kind of threadbare and just black. Doesn't look

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 4>nice anymore.

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>It's unraveling, Okay, I don't.

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I just figure if it washes my body and I'm

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>happy with you. I wash them and that's it. You

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>wash yourself with your towel, well, you know you dry

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>yourself with the towel.

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 4>But there you go.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>As far as saving money, though, I just, I just

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't want her to keep buying new stuff.

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 2>And it's just, well, this sounds like a thing between

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:16.119
<v Speaker 2>you and your wife.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 4>But wow, yeah, I'm not waiting involve it.

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>No, I have opinions, but it just doesn't seem like

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>a good idea away in Although I buy high quality

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 2>towels so they would last practically forever, I'm one of

0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>the few things and I've always been willing to splurge on.

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>I love the feel of a good, high quality towel. Huh. Yeah.

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>She wants me to throw them away, not give them away.

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>She says, you can't give those two goodwill And I said,

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 1>why not, They're perfectly fine, and she says, no, no,

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>we've been using them. And I say, well, just wash them.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, I would say, bring them to said charity

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 4>or a charity of your choice, and if they want them,

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 4>they'll take them. If they don't, they will heave them.

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Katie, I've got comments, but.

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm just I mean, how bad of shape are

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 3>they in?

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:57.799
<v Speaker 4>Michael?

0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you read the newspaper through them?

0:05:59.839 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 1>No, they're in good shape.

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 2>So, and I do not want to weigh in this

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>on this at all. I'm only asking a.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 4>Lady wants new towels, all right, Katie, I'm only the

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 4>lady or towels.

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm only asking for information purposes. So she doesn't want

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 2>to give him away because she doesn't think it's cool

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 2>to give somebody a used towel. Correct, Okay, well, okay,

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>by definition, I mean goodwill stuff tends to go to

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 2>people that are pretty down and out usually, and I

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>think they'd rather have a used towel of a no towel.

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>But you can always donate them.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 3>I was sorry to like the SPCA or something for

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 3>the animals.

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Dogs don't use towels. I've watched dogs over and over.

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 2>They just shake.

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 4>I wish they would. Um Boy does backshirt, like if

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 4>we walk him in the rain, Boy does. He liked

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 4>to get toweled off, so it's a win win. He's

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 4>not resistant to it because it feels.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Really it's a race between getting the towel on the

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>dog and them shaking. They standing in the doorway or

0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>something like that and they shake. You got hair and

0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 2>splacker everywhere.

0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah. Pro tip towels in the garage. You gotta

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 4>be prepped, you gotta be ready. Uh where were we?

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, let the free market function, missus, Mike Lingel.

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 4>If somebody wants to buy the towels, let them. That

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 4>is a coming together of a need and a fulfillment

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 4>of that need.
