Super Familiar with The Wilsons
Marriage 2.0 with kids…and all the side quests!
Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a weekly comedy podcast about second marriage blended family life, and the beautiful chaos of parenting, aging, and figuring it all out (again). Hosted by Amanda and Josh, partners in life, love, and side quests, each episode dives into real-life stories, quirky observations, listener emails, and spontaneous tangents that somehow always circle back to relationships, resilience, and the absurdity of modern life.
Whether you’re navigating your own second act, raising kids who don’t want your help, or just wondering why birds seem to aim for your head, you’ll find humor, honesty, and heart here. Expect: offbeat storytelling, second-marriage dynamics, parenting fails, philosophical detours, and new friends you didn’t know you needed.
Familiar Wilsons Media produces content to bring people together. We are curious, hopeful, and try not to take ourselves too seriously...admittedly, with varying degrees of success.

Last week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons. My online shopping does vary, but I draw the line at Wolf Urine.
SPEAKER_00:Well, don't worry about that because I got a Wolf Urine guy. It's time for the song quiz. Talking Loud by Weeping Cowards. All right, I'm going to stop you there. Do you think that you know it?
SPEAKER_01:No, because my brain's not even trying. Because I don't have to. And that's what's so lovely about this.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, well, I mean, I can give you more of these later. You know, in our personal time. That's
SPEAKER_01:right.
SPEAKER_00:How many laps are in the Abra-Bai-Zhan Grand Prix? Um, four. Four? There's nothing grand about that prix. That's a mini-prix.
SPEAKER_03:There you have it. You're all caught up. Let's go.
SPEAKER_00:Welcome to Super Familiar with the Wilsons. I'm Josh.
SPEAKER_01:I'm Amanda.
SPEAKER_00:We are so happy that you're here. You've joined us at our little weekly get-together. Welcome to our house.
SPEAKER_01:We even lit a candle
SPEAKER_00:for you. We did light a candle with illegal Tonka bean, apparently. Yeah, I don't know. So the fragrance that says it's vanilla and Tonka, so I didn't know what Tonka was beyond the truck and possibly the reference in Dancing with Wolves. Or dances with wolves?
SPEAKER_01:Dances with
SPEAKER_00:wolves, yes. And apparently tonka bean is illegal. which has nothing to do with our podcast, but that's free. But welcome. We lit a
SPEAKER_01:vanilla bean and tonka candle in your honor.
SPEAKER_00:So I just want you to think of us for this next 30 minutes, 40 minutes, I don't know how long this will go, as kind of like the curmudgeonly Mr. and Mrs. Rogers welcoming you into our home.
SPEAKER_01:I am not curmudgeonly.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, well, I'm curmudgeonly. Fine. You
SPEAKER_01:are. I'm the long-suffering, patient, loving, gracious woman who married the curmudgeonly man next door.
SPEAKER_00:So, moving on. We went and we saw a concert last night. I was very excited to do that.
SPEAKER_01:We did. It was lovely. It was outdoor. The weather was great.
SPEAKER_00:We saw the Shitty Beatles, which is the actual name of the actual band. It's a Beatles cover band. And so I'm going to play a clip of them playing a Beatles song. Ready?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Um... Okay, I was there. It was longer than that.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, but we don't have the rights to any Beatles songs. We can't even really, are we allowed to play like a second of it? But I think that that is so indistinguishable as a Beatles song. I was very upset when I found out that we can't even use a second because I was going to do this whole game for game time where I played a little second of a song and then would have you guess it. And that's not going to work.
SPEAKER_01:But the way you explained it to me is that we could play the ones second but then if we discuss what the song actually was then we couldn't do that anymore
SPEAKER_00:something about fair use something about if you use it in the context of reviewing or analyzing it but I'm not doing that and so which by the way we saw the shitty Beatles they were exceptional but Amanda can you please send a tweet for me it has to do with this I was reminded of this but please send a tweet ready
SPEAKER_01:I'm on it go
SPEAKER_00:dear people standing behind us at the shitty Beatles concert last night
SPEAKER_01:I
SPEAKER_00:so enjoyed your loud and constant talking to each other throughout the show.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, they were catching up. They had missed each other for a very long time.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, next, you're gonna have to join this tweet with the next tweet. Oh,
SPEAKER_01:okay. Oh, so this is what, like a
SPEAKER_00:one out of four. Go ahead. Please reach out so that I can pay you$30 to disrupt other things that I'm trying to do to relax, such as when I'm playing with my child or even sleeping.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I know. The child does that for free. But yes. There was lots of talking. There's more? No,
SPEAKER_00:can you send that?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I got it.
SPEAKER_00:I'm on it. Why would you go to a concert, a really good concert, and talk all the way through it? It is not a social occasion.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. I don't know. I mean, if they were further in the back and not like by the porta potties and not around people, I would have been okay with that.
SPEAKER_00:Also, I don't understand people who basically record the whole concert.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Well, at least that concert. We're not bootlegging the Shady Beatles show.
SPEAKER_01:I recorded like 20 seconds of something
SPEAKER_00:to put on Instagram. Well, I recorded one second of something, as you just heard.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. I very much enjoyed some people dancing a few rows in front of us. And I think you were getting so frustrated at me because I kept saying, look now. I felt like the five-year-old where it's like, mom, watch this. Mom, watch this. And it's just the same thing over and over. It
SPEAKER_00:was the same thing. It was so good, though. Lots of pelvic thrusts. And that person's knees must have been wrecked because all she was doing was bouncing up and down on her knees.
SPEAKER_01:No, you missed the martial arts kicking that she was doing at a later point in time toward her.
SPEAKER_00:Speaking of martial arts, or at least martial arts, or, okay, let's dive into the news. The Wilsons do the news. Hard-hitting, direct, slightly uninformed. Mike Tyson's in the news. Did you hear this?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, yes, I did.
SPEAKER_00:Do you know the backstory? So Mike
SPEAKER_01:Tyson was on a flight. I believe it was JetBlue, I think. I'm not quite sure. A nighttime flight, and he got on the plane. He was being polite and nice to the people around him, but there was a man behind him who apparently was no longer sober and was very... chatty and excited to have Mike Tyson there, but then Mike Tyson told him to settle down, and the guy just kept going and going and going. Mike Tyson spoke out about it today for the first time. I did not see that. Yeah, and he said the guy threw a water bottle at his head.
SPEAKER_00:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:And so then Mike Tyson's response was to turn around and basically just beat the mess out of him.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I saw the video. However, I am not here to talk about that, or this is going to go in slightly a different direction, because... Just like the Chris Rock, Will Smith thing, you can have your opinions on whether it was justified or not justified. That's not what I'm here to talk about. I think that the last place that you should make alcohol available to people is in an airport and on an airplane.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so I kind of understand it or understood it because flying causes anxiety, people want to relax, but especially now with COVID, Mask and not masking. It's a pressure cooker that you've put into the sky.
SPEAKER_00:And alcohol doesn't relax people per se like that. It doesn't sedate. Well, I mean, it could sedate some people. What it does is it takes away people's inhibitions.
SPEAKER_01:Like it. it makes you think it's a good idea to pick on Mike Tyson?
SPEAKER_00:Exactly. So if you think about like you're talking about, even before the pandemic, flying is stressful. Because what you're doing is you're basically taking a bunch of people, you're packing them in a tube, you're throwing that tube way the hell up in the sky, and everyone knows at some point that tube's got to come back down.
UNKNOWN:Right.
SPEAKER_00:Now, before this had happened, you have rushed people into an airport. Even like getting to the airport is stressful.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, that's true.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. Parking is stressful. Checking your bags is stressful. Oh my God, security.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Security is like a roller coaster ride that no one wants to go on. You wait for 45 minutes in line, just like you do at the theme park. Then you go through a very unpleasant thing that may, who knows, involve someone checking your anus. You don't know. God,
SPEAKER_01:that's not happened
SPEAKER_00:yet. of the pandemic and also we're going through this wonderful time of love and bipartisanship that we're experiencing now.
SPEAKER_01:There's no polarization in our country at all.
SPEAKER_00:What do we need to
SPEAKER_01:add
SPEAKER_00:all of this?
SPEAKER_01:Alcohol.
SPEAKER_00:Add some alcohol, abso-freaking-lutely. So folks, I can't do anything about it, but I'm just saying it's a bad idea to have alcohol anywhere near airports or inside airplanes. And I'm not even talking about like flight crews. I'm just talking about the gerbils that are inside the tube. Not a good idea.
SPEAKER_01:It's now that time of the show where you all have to guess the songs and I don't have to do it anymore. I'm
SPEAKER_00:going to change that though. So this is what happens. I come up with these really clever song quiz things and I cannot wait. I'm busting at the seams to tell you afterwards. Because I want you to revel in the genius. And what I have to do is I have to resist that because really the best thing is if we come back week after week and then you've had a week to think about it and then you have to guess them. You know
SPEAKER_01:I'm going to need help no matter what.
SPEAKER_00:Well, okay. So do you remember what the two were from last
SPEAKER_01:week? Yeah, something about the million dollar man.
SPEAKER_00:So the first clue was talking loud by weeping cowards.
SPEAKER_01:That one I got without help.
SPEAKER_00:And it is...
SPEAKER_01:Shout by Tears for Fears.
SPEAKER_00:All right, so not only did you get it without help, we had Kelly Madden from Drunk Theory. Love Kelly. She got it. Dan Belson got it.
SPEAKER_01:Congrats, Dan Belson.
SPEAKER_00:Dan from Casting Views got it.
SPEAKER_01:Congrats, new Dan.
SPEAKER_00:And... Oh, don't say that too loud. And Tommy Akers got it
SPEAKER_01:as well. Oh, yes. Congrats, Tom.
SPEAKER_00:So they got that, right? The second one is my... It might be the best one I've ever done.
SPEAKER_01:You really are very proud of it.
SPEAKER_00:The song is What Those Fellas That Broke Back Mountains Said to Each Other. Yes. And the... artist was, what would it be called if you replaced the actor in Six Million Dollar Man?
SPEAKER_01:Yes, and I told you this is a very dated reference because no one knows who the actor in Six Million Dollar Man was, but then I realized they have the internet so they could look that up.
SPEAKER_00:The key to this really is if you get the artist. Now, I will tell you that Dan Belson and Tommy Akers and Dan from Casting Views all got it with help. With
SPEAKER_01:help. Kelly did not get it with help, or Kelly said, I don't want help, and I'm
SPEAKER_00:not even trying. No, Kelly, I don't know if Kelly tried, but she said she couldn't get it, so. The actor who played the$6 million man, his name was?
SPEAKER_01:Lee Majors.
SPEAKER_00:Lee Majors, all right, and so what you're looking for is the Lee, right?
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_00:What is it when you replace an actor, what it's called?
SPEAKER_01:You have to recast them.
SPEAKER_00:So it's recast Lee. Rick Astley. Rick Astley. And then you get the song, Never Wanna Give You Up.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's never
SPEAKER_00:gonna give you up. Never gonna give you up, whatever. Doesn't matter. I'm still brilliant.
SPEAKER_01:You are. I revel in your genius every day.
SPEAKER_00:Excellent, you should. Okay, so now I've got two new ones. All right, now I'm not gonna tell you these.
SPEAKER_01:You're not gonna tell them to me or you're not gonna give me the hints to get the answers?
SPEAKER_00:I'm gonna hear you tell them right now. You're gonna wait till next week is what I'm saying to you right now. Okay. Or you might get them. All right, so the first one.
SPEAKER_01:Highly unlikely.
SPEAKER_00:The song is, what does this stethoscope do?
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:The artist is, what do I have when I have a group of minerals?
UNKNOWN:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. You said you were going to do kind of like a starter one and then the advanced placement one. Is this like intro or is this AP?
SPEAKER_00:I'm not certain about that, but the next clue is the song is The Andromeda Galaxy Is Where. The artist is Give the Side of Those Ships a Whack. Give the side of those ships a whack.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, I'll think about this for a full week and be sure to get back with you.
SPEAKER_00:You know what? This is what I'm going to do because I do want people to have a chance, right? And not everyone is as brilliant as me. And so I lifted this idea right the hell off Carl Pilkington, right? And so what he did is he would give his cryptic clue and then he would give an initial clue.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that
SPEAKER_00:feels nice of him. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you an initial for the band. And then that way, that'll kind of get you on your way. For both bands. Right, right, right. The first one is, I have a group of minerals. Or what do I have when I have a group of minerals? Okay. The initial is R.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:All right, and the second one, give the side of these ships a whack.
SPEAKER_01:Sure.
SPEAKER_00:The initial is B. Okay. All right, folks, so reach out to us. DM us on Twitter or any of our socials on Twitter. We are FamiliarWilsons, or you can email us, FamiliarWilsons at gmail.com, or find us on the other socials. Good luck.
UNKNOWN:Thank you.
SPEAKER_00:Amanda, it's time for another installment of I'm Just Old. You're just old.
SPEAKER_01:Old.
UNKNOWN:I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_00:So here's the thing. Last week or two weeks, or you think it's been three weeks, I've had discomfort up to excruciating pain in my shoulder.
SPEAKER_01:It has been three weeks.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's been absolutely awful. It's been terrible. And I want to do something about it, so I was kind of looking it up. And I'm kind of tracing it to a couple things. I'm tracing it to bad posture. I've always had bad posture. And also related with that, how I deal with my stress. I apparently carry my stress in my shoulder. What I'm hoping to do is do a little research into how to deal with this and then fix it. Now, what I fear is that I am so old that I'm kind of like that underwear that you have in the drawer where the elastic is stretched out and all it's good for now is cleaning the blinds.
SPEAKER_01:Which we don't do.
SPEAKER_00:Well, now you have something to do that with, which is me. But I'm hoping that I can actually fix it. So I looked up shoulder pain and bad posture and this and that and it gave me some exercises to do. Now I want to show you first on this website where it's talking about poor posture leading to muscle imbalance and it talks about how we have our head to forward, oftentimes with most of the things that we do, like looking at a computer screen or whatever. We tend to have that. Or you
SPEAKER_01:bend your neck to look at your phone.
SPEAKER_00:Right, and then this idea of forward rounding shoulders, which I do. I know that I slump, basically. It's talking about how to do different exercises to mitigate that. Also, I've noticed that when I am stressed... I lift up my right shoulder. I lift it up two or three inches. I don't know, but so often I find myself with my shoulder tensed up like that. And I have to relax it. I have to remind myself to relax it.
SPEAKER_01:But you also sleep with an arm up there, with that shoulder up, and that's causing it to be...
SPEAKER_00:I'm not certain I can change how I sleep, but I may have to try to do that. So anyway, I go to this... website to find exercises. It gives me three or four exercises and it has graphics. And the graphic looks disturbingly like me.
SPEAKER_01:It does look like you.
SPEAKER_00:It's a bald man with a goatee and glasses. Right. His
SPEAKER_01:goatee's not white, though.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, my God.
SPEAKER_01:Well, this is your old segment.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, but don't pile on, please. Can I show you, though? So they have this gentleman in this graphic sitting in a chair waiting to show us how to do this exercise, right?
UNKNOWN:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01:Why is his hand on his crotch? Why is he moving back and forth? Like it got animated for a
SPEAKER_00:second. It absolutely did not. But just his feet
SPEAKER_01:were
SPEAKER_00:moving. Lies. So
SPEAKER_01:in order to... I will post... I
SPEAKER_00:will post... No, absolutely not. Maybe that's why the nerve is
SPEAKER_01:pinched. Is it your dominant hand?
SPEAKER_00:It is. Anyway, then it kind of leads me through exercises. And so I'm going to do a couple of these. So one of the things it says is to grab my head and pull it out. No, that doesn't seem good.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but see, I've always had neck pain because I have, the top of my spine isn't curved. It's, you know, my skull sits on, it's supposed to be curved at the top. Mine isn't. So I have a lot of neck pain and I do these. Those are in my stretches
SPEAKER_00:to do. So, and it also recommends a lot of shoulder rotations, rotating it forward, rotating your shoulders back. This is a problem I think a lot of people have. Basically just, like I said before, it's a common occurrence for people to be staring at their computer screen or Or just to slouch. And so I've got to get into the habit of throwing my shoulders back, opening up the chest. It even feels good to do it now.
SPEAKER_01:It does. It feels kind of ridiculous because when you're a woman and you do it, you feel like you're trying to put things out into the world further than they are. Okay,
SPEAKER_00:but it feels odd. Keep doing that.
SPEAKER_01:No hush. It really would really help you to get back into yoga.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I got to do yoga. Downward dog is not my friend though because I'm not flexible.
SPEAKER_01:I don't like downward dog because I have no upper body strength. So I'd be happy to skip downward dog with you. We can just corpse pose while that's going on.
SPEAKER_00:So anyway, I'm going to work on my posture. I have to because even right now I'm so uncomfortable and I'm not a happy person when I'm uncomfortable and when I'm going through this excruciating pain. And so we're going to work on that.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know many people who are happy when they're excruciating pain.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, there's a certain subset of people. They hang out on Reddit, I understand.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, right. Yes. Okay. I guess there's a fine line. I have something to add to this. You're just getting old segment, but it's that I think that I fear that I'm coming up on a birthday next month that I might be joining this club because I was... Trying to read an instruction manual today for these candles that we got. Candles, I know, you just light them with a match, but no, these are battery-operated pillars. And I was trying to read it, and I actually said, well, this print is too small. I think that is the beginning of the end. Not the end. The end? What's wrong with you? The end. I think that's how you know you're old is when you start complaining about the size of the font.
SPEAKER_00:You'll never be old, my dear.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, well, now I feel really bad because I told you you were old.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, good. I'm glad. Amanda, that theme song tells us it's game time.
SPEAKER_01:Game time.
SPEAKER_00:I'm very excited about this game time. I
SPEAKER_01:am suspicious about this game time.
SPEAKER_00:So I was scrolling on social media and I came across something. Funny Swedish phrases.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, there are some excellent Swedish words and phrases.
SPEAKER_00:So you might know some of these, but what I'm going to do is I'm going to give you the Swedish phrase, but I'll give it to you. Well, first I'll give it to you in Swedish and see if you know it. I'm
SPEAKER_01:very excited for you to pronounce these words.
SPEAKER_00:And then I'm going to give you what they mean, and then you try to guess what the euphemism is trying to convey. Okay, you're going to
SPEAKER_01:give it to me in Swedish first, then English, and then I'm going to get the...
SPEAKER_00:They're all expressions, and so they're all meant to convey something else, but they're funny.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, got it.
SPEAKER_00:All right, you ready for the first one?
SPEAKER_01:See, that's cheating. I thought you were going to pronounce these.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I made it happen.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, I have no idea what that is. Please may I have the English translation?
SPEAKER_00:Throw yourself into the wall.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, I watched the five-year-old do this yesterday. Like, have a really good time?
SPEAKER_00:What?
SPEAKER_01:It's just like you're just, you're so happy you're just throwing yourself about.
SPEAKER_00:In English, we tell people to go take a hike.
SPEAKER_01:Oh,
SPEAKER_00:okay. The Swedes, someone who annoys them, they say, go throw yourself into a wall. Love that. Love that.
SPEAKER_01:Much more violent than take a hike. We're just suggesting people get outdoor exercise.
SPEAKER_00:There you go. All right, you ready for the next
SPEAKER_01:one? Rund under fötterna. Fötterna. I don't know what that
SPEAKER_00:is. She is round under her feet.
SPEAKER_01:Round under her feet? Like her feet are round under them? Or she's standing on something round?
SPEAKER_00:Okay, the expression is, she is round under her feet. What does it mean?
SPEAKER_01:She's not necessarily flexible, but she can go with the flow. She's round under her feet. She's, you know, she's fine.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. She's round under her feet. No, it means that you're wasted.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay, well, yeah, like you would be walking like something, your
SPEAKER_00:feet were round. Round on the feet. That's good, though. I like that one. Yes, no, it makes sense. All right, next one.
SPEAKER_01:Again, something I see the five-year-old do. This is, I'm telling you that toddlers, he's kind of grown up, toddlers and drunk people, very similar.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_01:Skogstokig. I know two Swedish phrases, none of them so far. None of them are in here. Go
SPEAKER_00:ahead. All right, the phrase is forest crazy.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, is that like we say like bat crazy?
SPEAKER_00:Bat shit insane, yes. Yes. Bat shit crazy. That's exactly what it means. Forest crazy.
SPEAKER_01:Forest crazy, like she's been wandering, or he or they have been wandering in the forest and they've lost their minds.
SPEAKER_00:Yep.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. Midsummer, it's messed up. Have you seen that? That would make somebody crazy. I have read all about it. But
SPEAKER_00:Nate from A Scary Home Companion, oh wait, Nate has.
SPEAKER_01:They have the framed Midsummer poster up in
SPEAKER_00:their home. So there you go. Next.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, go ahead. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:Dress up your teeth.
SPEAKER_01:Does this mean to get braces?
SPEAKER_00:No. What does dress up your teeth mean?
SPEAKER_01:Get fancy to go out for a date.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, you're so right. You got it. Yay. Their version of get dressed to the nines is dress up to your teeth. Dress up to your teeth or dress up your teeth? Dress up your
SPEAKER_01:teeth. Yes. There you go. Oh, very good. Putting lipstick
SPEAKER_00:on to make your teeth look good. I'm so proud of you. Well, no. Lipstick on the teeth is bad, I thought.
SPEAKER_01:No, around it.
SPEAKER_00:Or on my teeth. Yes. Whose lipstick is that? Yeah, it's bad. Moving on. Ready?
SPEAKER_01:Some aggressive kissing if you have her lipstick on your teeth.
SPEAKER_00:Is it? No, it's not. It's just regular kissing. We'll try it out later.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. Yeah, that didn't help.
SPEAKER_00:Caught with their beard in the letterbox.
SPEAKER_01:That sounds dirty. I don't know why I put that.
SPEAKER_00:Caught with their beard, and then you get the lipstick on your
SPEAKER_01:teeth.
UNKNOWN:That's right.
SPEAKER_00:Caught with your beard in the letterbox. You know, I didn't think of that as dirty until you just said, you nasty. You nasty, baby.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I think that means you're being nosy, like putting your nose in other people's business.
SPEAKER_00:Ooh, that's good. That's really good. But it's not that. Well, it's caught with your hands in the cookie jar. It's kind of that. So not really, not being nosy. But your interpretation is better. Well, I thought
SPEAKER_01:it was like you're trying to look through somebody else's letterbox to see their stuff and then your beard was in there and your beard got caught and then it ripped your beard out.
SPEAKER_00:All right, here you go. Ready?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Sure.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, now think, think, listen, because you might get one of these words.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I don't have any of those words.
SPEAKER_00:All right, one of the words was hund.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Do you know what that means? No. Hound?
SPEAKER_01:Okay, sure.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so there's a dog buried here. What does that
SPEAKER_01:mean? There's a story here, like there's something to tell.
SPEAKER_00:Ooh. Is it a good story or a bad story?
SPEAKER_01:It depends on how the dog is. I don't think you could ever
SPEAKER_00:interpret there's a dog buried here as a good story.
SPEAKER_01:Like, you know, there's skeletons in the closet. There's a dog buried here.
SPEAKER_00:So there's something fishy going on here, basically. So you basically got it. All right, next.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. English, please.
SPEAKER_00:Don't buy a pig while it's still in the bag.
SPEAKER_01:Pigs don't come from bags, first of
SPEAKER_00:all. Well, in Sweden they do. Okay. Or they shouldn't. I think that's the point. Don't do it.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Well, still in the bag though. Is this like ham? Like you have a bag of ham?
SPEAKER_01:Well, is it as simple as don't count your chickens before they're hatched?
SPEAKER_00:Actually, it doesn't have an interpretation here. It's just, I think that is supposed to be obvious. Don't buy a pig. Well, like you got to look at the merchandise, basically. I don't know, dude. Those Swedes, those nutty Swedes. So last week we offended the Australians. I think we're going for the Swedes now. Ready?
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:What is that? No idea. Paint the devil on the wall. What does that mean? To paint the devil on the wall.
SPEAKER_01:Does it mean to get really drunk?
SPEAKER_00:Or does it mean to get out of here, throw yourself
SPEAKER_01:on
SPEAKER_00:the wall? Throw the devil on the wall? No, it doesn't.
SPEAKER_01:Like bring the truth to light?
SPEAKER_00:It means that you've gone too far.
SPEAKER_01:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, you've painted the devil on the wall.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, because now he's coming for us. See, Midsommar, it goes back to it.
SPEAKER_00:All right, two more. Okay. Ready?
SPEAKER_01:The
SPEAKER_00:translation is to shit in the blue locker.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I have nothing to poop in the blue locker.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. What does that euphemism mean?
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. Where is the blue lock? Oh, does this mean that you have to go to the bathroom in the ocean?
SPEAKER_00:Davy Jones' locker. Yes,
SPEAKER_01:see? Then it's blue.
SPEAKER_00:I think that's a little bit too literal, though.
SPEAKER_01:Is this like that you shouldn't do this where you work or where you eat or something? Isn't there a saying in English about that? I don't know what this means. What does this mean?
SPEAKER_00:It means you've really gone too far or you're being very difficult. I
SPEAKER_01:don't understand. Like the other ones, I can kind of make connections to logic that I understand. I don't understand this, but okay. All right. Good on you.
SPEAKER_00:Last one.
SPEAKER_01:Josh är den bästa maken. What
SPEAKER_00:do you think that means? I
SPEAKER_01:still don't speak Swedish. I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:You don't recognize any of the words in that? I
SPEAKER_01:don't recognize any of the words.
SPEAKER_00:Listen again.
SPEAKER_01:Josh är den bästa maken. I don't know. I don't know those words.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's Swedish for Josh is the best husband.
UNKNOWN:Ha, ha, ha.
SPEAKER_01:And what that really means is...
SPEAKER_00:Josh is the best husband. So there you go. There's our game time. How
SPEAKER_01:about that? I appreciate all of the learning that I get from this show. And also, I appreciate our friends, the Swedes.
UNKNOWN:Bye.
SPEAKER_00:Now is the time of the program where we give our recommendations. Amanda, do you have a recommendation? I
SPEAKER_01:do. When we went to the concert last night, there was a food truck and it was all vegan food. And so I wasn't 100% sure because the sandwich that I wanted, it was the vegan version of like a Nashville fried hot chicken sandwich, but it was made with seitan. I think that I'm saying that correctly. And I've not had that before. It's my understanding that it's wheat gluten. So, you know, I don't have a gluten allergy. I tried it so good. And you had a Beyond Sausage Po'boy. And we don't, we've tried vegetarianism. We have kids that are vegetarian and vegan. And we really do think about the environmental impact and also, but also struggle with the fact that we really enjoy certain meals. And so we are really trying to Just buy fish and poultry for home. But it was nice. I enjoyed it. So I'm going to recommend just try a vegan meal. Just try it. You might enjoy it.
SPEAKER_00:I recommend getting involved in your community. So the Wilsons got to participate in kind of a telethon. It was a live stream for all of the nonprofits in the Gainesville area. It was seven hours. No, it was 12 hours. And each hour they had a different host or pair of hosts in our case. And so we got to host a couple of the sections. It was a lot of fun. And I certainly learned that there are many more nonprofits doing really good things for the people of Gainesville than I thought that there were.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it was a really great time. We interviewed people that we were aware of, but learning what these organizations do and some that I'd never heard of. And so it was 12 hours to give to all nonprofits. And really, it helped build their budget for the year. And if you are super familiar with the Wilson's Frequent Listener, you will be happy to know that the Wilson's My husband started a tally every time I said, um, and we donated because it's a struggle. We donated$5 every time I said, um, to, uh, see, did it again to an organization. So my podcast fumbles benefited our community.
SPEAKER_00:Back to my recommendation, getting involved in your community. There's a lot of people doing a lot of good. We only hear the bad. both locally and nationally. But I guarantee them to you, there's a lot of good people doing good work in your community and they absolutely can use your help. So instead of sitting home and ingesting the news and just getting more and more depressed, especially about news on the global scale, which we can do little about practically speaking, there's a lot that we can do locally and we should. Now that could mean many different things to many different people. That could mean giving monetarily That could mean giving of your time. That could mean just letting other people know of all of the good work. I'm not here to tell you how you can help. I'm just here to tell you you should help.
SPEAKER_01:If you live in the Gainesville area, the Community Foundation of North Central Florida are the ones that put on the amazing give, but their website is incredible. There is a list there of all of the nonprofits, but it goes into their, you know, disclosing their spending and what your donations are used for, ways to get involved if you want to volunteer. So if you live in our area, that's a great resource, but I'm sure communities around the world have
SPEAKER_00:those as well. So there you go.
UNKNOWN:Thank you.
SPEAKER_00:All right, Amanda, that's all there is. There is no more.
SPEAKER_01:If you take anything away from today, let it be that you get involved and you also don't antagonize Mike Tyson on a plane.
SPEAKER_00:Also, maybe one or two less drinks at the airport lounge would do everyone a lot of good.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, agreed.
SPEAKER_00:All right, folks. So until next week, take care of yourselves.
SPEAKER_01:Go be nice.
SPEAKER_00:Bye.
SPEAKER_01:Bye.
SPEAKER_00:So until next week, y'all be nice to people.
SPEAKER_01:Now I can't say go be nice because I always say go be nice and you just said be nice. So now I got nothing to say. You usually say until next time, take care of yourselves. And then I say go be nice.
SPEAKER_00:All right, folks. So until next week. Weak snack.
SPEAKER_01:We're still playing this game?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that means bullshit.
UNKNOWN:Okay.
