| 0:00.0 | Hey, the bird show. |
| 0:01.6 | If there's something that you do and you're wondering if it's normal, we'll decide for you. Right. Jen was actually, she changed some people's lives the last time. Yeah, I just this weird thing. When I do laundry, I take my jeans out of the washer. And you know how they're all like crinkled, cramped up once they come out of the washing machine? Well, I have to take them out. I have to shake them out. Like, shake all the wrinkles out. And then I have to like smooth them and fold them. And then I put them in the dryer. And it works. Did you try it and do it? And there's less wrinkles in your jeans, right? It works. I got an email from a listener who did the same thing and he loves it too and now he's doing it. |
| 0:39.3 | Before I heard Jen, I usually did, I would take him out of the wrinkles in your jeans, right? It works. I got an email from a listener who did the same thing, and he loves it too, and now he's doing it. |
| 0:39.3 | Before I heard Jen, I usually did, I would take him out out the dryer and I'd shake him out. Everybody shakes them out, right? But I tried the folding thing, and it works. You don't even shake them out? I don't even shake them out. I just put my laundry in the drawer, yeah. But then there's like those permanent wrinkles in your jeans. |
| 0:53.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:53.6 | And I used to do it where I would hang them all dry and then once they were hung dry, I would put them in the dryer just to kind of tighten them back up again. |
| 1:01.5 | But that takes even longer. |
| 1:03.2 | So the shaking them out in the folding is like a shorter way to get them the way that I want them. |
| 1:08.1 | The listener emailed Jen and I actually was like asking her to explain it. Because once, you know, she said that she, uh, the listener did it. Now Tracy's saying, like, it still comes apart in the dryer. And Jen goes, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It works. Something about it works. If it makes it go better. It's not normal, but. Well, maybe it is. Maybe we've taken something that's not normal and made it works. Something about it works. If it makes it go better, it's not normal, but... |
| 1:27.8 | Well, maybe it is. Maybe we've taken something that's not normal and made it mainstream. |
| 1:33.3 | Tracy. Yes. |
| 1:35.4 | I don't think this is that abnormal, but every time I read something sad or see something |
| 1:40.9 | sad on TV, if it's after Ella's gone to bed, I get her out of bed and I hold her, like, for like an hour or so and just let her sleep on the couch with me. Because you're sad? Yeah. Yeah. Just because it makes me sad. Like, I mean, if it has anything to do with a baby, I definitely do. But just anything that makes me kind of sad that makes you want to be close to your baby, I don't think of that. So at Christmas time when those public commercials were on? Right. I'll get her out of bed and I'll hold her. |
| 2:03.4 | Yes, she did not get't think it's abnormal. So at Christmas time when those public commercials |
| 2:00.8 | were on? Right. I'll get her out of bed and I'll hold her. Yes, she did not get one good night's |
| 2:04.8 | sleep the whole holiday season. And I wonder why she has sleeping issues. So it's pretty, it happens |
| 2:10.6 | often. Does it happen often? How many, about how many times a week? Probably three. Oh, |
| 2:15.9 | no wonder she can't sleep through the night. |
| 2:18.4 | I know, but I feel better. |
| 2:20.8 | Yeah, I don't think that's normal. Yeah, Ella's not in this. But we have to find out from moms if that's normal. Ella's not in this world for Tracy. Ella's in this world for, or Alice not in this world for her. It's for Tracy. I could see if it was a movie about, you know, |
| 2:33.2 | but a public's commercial probably is about... |
| 2:35.2 | I don't know what's happened for a public's commercial, |
