The following podcast is a dear media production.

Guys, welcome back to another episode of Probably a podcast, and boy, are you guys going to be happy, happy, happy because you are always begging, pleading.

I am too.

For Anna Grace to come on the pod, boop-o-boop-squad back again.

Boop-squad back again.

Boop-squad back again. Boof Squad back again. Boop Squad back again. Oh, oh, we've glitched. I was like, are we still going? Oh, oh, we're glitching. We're on virtual reality. We are doing a virtual podcast, which is sad because you have betrayed me and moved away, which is fine. I'm still not over it. It's been a few years now,

and I'm still meaning to bring it up to you that you shouldn't have done that. I know, but you know what? It's okay because luckily we do have this beautiful technology. I can still see your face. Like a little face time. We do have this beautiful technology. And one thing about me and agrees on a podcast, we aren't going to plan anything. And it is just going to feel like a facetime with the two of us that you guys just happen to like rudely interrupt and be a part of. So strap in because I haven't talked to you for a while. So let's face time. Buckle up. I just want you to know this just happened legitimately right before I got on the mic and I was like, oh, I'm about to go on the microphone. I get a text from one of my girlfriends and she says, doesn't know we're about to record. Please tell Shannon that

she's not alone on the nose picking. I'm not going to lie. It makes me feel so much better. And I'll literally go, wait, really quick, what the fuck are we talking about right now? Like, what are we actually? I am so mad to have headphones and because I want Courtney to hear this so bad. You know, I told Courtney, I said after we recorded that episode, the solo episode, I said to her, whenever I make you laugh and I see her, like, quietly, like, holding her mouth, like trying not to laugh loudly for the episode. Nothing brings me more joy. Like, I feel like I really did something. If Courtney is, like, laughing in the background of the episode, Anna Grace said before she came in this podcast that someone just messaged her and was like, please tell Shannon that she's not alone with the nose picking. And I feel really seen and really happy. And Anna Grace is like, hold on, sorry, really quick. What are we talking about? Courtney was just like seriously cackling when I was talking about. I talked about how my New Year's resolution, I'd like to hear if you have a New Year's resolution, is to stop picking my nose so much. Like, and, okay, by the way, if you guys were looking for an update on last week's episode, it's hard. Okay, I have to actively tell myself, like, you're addicted. Like, you have to stop. And I have this, like, I've started, I've started. You know, like when people smoke so then instead they like chew gum or like people that vape say they have like a hand fixation. So they like start like sucking on suckers or like having something in their hand like a fidget spinner. I got this like, it's just, not I got a fidget spinner. So I stopped picking my nose. No, I got this like saline spray, which James keeps getting confused. He keeps thinking it's like nasal spray, like, aphrine. And I keep telling it's salt water and a bottle. It just has like a spray end on it. And because I keep, anytime I want to pick my nose, I just reach for that. I try to tell myself, just reach for that instead and like moisten your nose because the reason I pick it is because I pick it so much that I have now created, like, little scabs, like dry scabs in my nose. All this sounds really gross. And I'll tell you what it is. And I should hold myself accountable. And so I'm not, I did say, like, don't picture like big ooey-googie, ooey-gooey-gooey-bookers. They're just like little crusty things that I just like feel like just like I have to pick them.

And so the saline spray like moistens your nose. oooy-goo-y bookers. Like, they're just like little crusty things that I just like feel like,

just like I have to pick them. And so the saline spray like moistens your nose so that you don't have that need to pick because then it's just like moist and soft. And then you kind of just want to blow your nose. And you know what's great, that is what adults do. They blow their nose and use tissues. And so I'm trying to do that. Okay. You know, when I first read the text, I was thinking, like,

wow, what the fuck could Shannon possibly have to be? I say the name. Who was it? Who else is that? Your figure out of picking her nose. I feel bad. I don't want to say her name. No, don't, don't. She might be like, I'll text you. You do know who it is, though, but I don't want to embarrass her.

But it was funny because I thought, well, you know, sometimes like, not that it's just like a, you know, weird habit, but sometimes it's medicinal. Like, you know, like sometimes you got something in your nose and you got to get it out. sometimes it's like medicinal weed though sometimes I just do that little hit like love and you know, but I've caught on now that I've, now that I've really recognized the addiction, like I've caught myself. I do do it when I'm like nervous or trying to like, like I don't know what to do. It's like, and by the way, nobody in the world would ever say that Shannon Ford, she's a nose picker habitually because because I don't do it in public. Like I have limits, okay? I would never just be like in public picking my nose. I'm not actually addicted to it to that extent. But like, dude, literally, I was like the guy came, budget blinds came by to like do something. And I, in our, we were getting like nude blinds to the nursery and I like went through all these samples and painstangely picked out which one I wanted and then I was like trying to put Daisy down and I was like okay this one he's like okay and then he came back he's like I'm so sorry ma'am they've just continued that I was like okay I'll I'll go bring some other samples upstairs went to the staircase finger and nose I was like stop you're just you'reressed. You don't have anything to pick. Stop picking your nose. So I talked about that kind of at, I'm a nervous picker. Look at me picking my scalp right now. I, um, I just talked about that on the podcast and I just said that that was my new year's resolution. I'm trying to like, you know, like, you don't always have to have some grandiose fucking resolution. Sometimes it's just be to stop picking your nose.

I, well, hell yeah.

Hell yeah, brother.

Hell, you know what?

You know what really this all stemmed from?

I saw this thing that said this, well, where was it?

It was like an article, but it was definitely had some like scientific backing

to it that I had then asked chat GPT if the scientific backing was correct. And it was like,

yeah, I mean, this is from an actual study. It said that picking your nose can lead to Alzheimer's.

Oh my God. We went there quick. Yeah, it's a slippery slope. Okay. I don't know. I am not trying to.

I don't lie.
