Ep. 67: What the hell is that smell?

Reese Charest [00:00:24]:

That was almost dangerous. I got to tell you something.

Dave Charest [00:00:29]:

It was you don't say.

Reese Charest [00:00:37]:

Yeah. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Dave Charest [00:00:41]:

I wholeheartedly believe in everything you just said.

Reese Charest [00:00:45]:

I know. And to reiterate so good.

Dave Charest [00:00:52]:

Yeah. What are you drinking over there?

Reese Charest [00:00:54]:

The Barbie.

Dave Charest [00:00:54]:

The Barbie. We created a drink. We were inspired by the pink color, I guess.

Reese Charest [00:01:01]:

I think my favorite part of the Barbie movie was all the pink, because I do love pink. I'm a sucker for pink. Green is my fun fact. Green is my favorite color. Certain shades of green. But I'm a fool for pink.

Dave Charest [00:01:16]:

A fool.

Reese Charest [00:01:16]:

I'm a fool for pink. I love it. I do.

Dave Charest [00:01:20]:

I think you're just a fool.

Reese Charest [00:01:21]:

Well, that's why I said, I'm a fool, dave, hello.

Dave Charest [00:01:24]:

For pink.

Reese Charest [00:01:25]:

You said, no, I'm a fool for pink. But just I'm a fool not to be confused with the singer, because oh, pink. She's another one I'm over.

Dave Charest [00:01:35]:

Oh, jeez.

Reese Charest [00:01:36]:

God, I'll put her in with but funny, I've actually started to get back into Pearl Jam. Who. I was kind of over for a while there, too. And I'll do you one better.

Dave Charest [00:01:48]:

You're going to do me one better?

Reese Charest [00:01:49]:

Led Zeppelin.

Dave Charest [00:01:50]:

Oh, I love Led Zeppelin.

Reese Charest [00:01:52]:

I love Led Zeppelin. LEB Leblin is my favorite.

Dave Charest [00:01:55]:

I love Led Zeppelin.

Reese Charest [00:01:56]:

You know that LEB Zeppelin song?

Dave Charest [00:01:58]:

Yeah.

Reese Charest [00:01:59]:

I was kind of over them as well. But now I've been listening here, and there good little LEB Zeppelin OOH.

Dave Charest [00:02:06]:

Maybe we should listen to some Led Zeppelin.

Reese Charest [00:02:08]:

Not Led Zeppelin. Sorry. LEB Zeppelin. That's who I like.

Dave Charest [00:02:11]:

LEB lebanon.

Reese Charest [00:02:12]:

LEB lebzin.

Dave Charest [00:02:13]:

Yeah, that's who I'm into. This drink works fast, really fast.

Reese Charest [00:02:18]:

Yeah.

Dave Charest [00:02:19]:

You're high on the crack.

Reese Charest [00:02:21]:

No, I am sweating, is what I'm doing.

Dave Charest [00:02:23]:

Yeah, I really wish you would. I'm trying to figure out why you tilt the glass away from you before.

Reese Charest [00:02:31]:

You bring it to your listen, I like to do what I like to do. Mind your business.

Dave Charest [00:02:35]:

That's why I was going if you.

Reese Charest [00:02:37]:

Think that drink is going to spill in the beginning, sorely mistaken.

Dave Charest [00:02:41]:

You are so close to don't worry about me.

Reese Charest [00:02:44]:

Worry about yourself.

Dave Charest [00:02:45]:

Okay. All right.

Reese Charest [00:02:46]:

Check yourself before you wreck yourself, is all I'm saying.

Dave Charest [00:02:49]:

Hi, Reese. All right, real quick.

Reese Charest [00:02:51]:

Yes?

Dave Charest [00:02:51]:

Can we talk about the ridiculousness that happened yesterday? Do you know what I'm talking about or did you forget already?

Reese Charest [00:03:01]:

I've already forgotten.

Dave Charest [00:03:02]:

Okay. So let's just fill people in on what I'm going on, and let's fill you in so you can get up to speed and help.

Reese Charest [00:03:09]:

Apparently, you have to fill me in. Was I a part of this?

Dave Charest [00:03:12]:

You were. Oh, you were?

Reese Charest [00:03:14]:

Was I the problem?

Dave Charest [00:03:16]:

Well, there was a moment when I thought you might have been. Just as though you thought I may have been the problem.

Reese Charest [00:03:21]:

Oh, my God, there it is the light bulb just went off. I was like, yeah, the second you said that, you also may have been the.

Dave Charest [00:03:32]:

Are. Okay, so one actually all right, we're going to get there, but we're going to take a little journey to get there. And the first part of this journey is reese's started watching Girls on HBO.

Reese Charest [00:03:46]:

Rewatching.

Dave Charest [00:03:46]:

Well, right? Rewatching.

Reese Charest [00:03:51]:

Was that the cat?

Dave Charest [00:03:52]:

Yeah. It's time for the cats to eat.

Reese Charest [00:03:54]:

Okay.

Dave Charest [00:03:54]:

We're picking that up from the other room. If you've heard that, that was the feeder.

Reese Charest [00:03:58]:

Our feeder has my voice. Time to eat. Come on, you want to eat. Time to eat. And the cats are like, they used.

Dave Charest [00:04:08]:

To really enjoy it.

Reese Charest [00:04:09]:

Now they're like, okay, you're like Pearl.

Dave Charest [00:04:11]:

Jamming until I come back around again and I'm in vogue.

Reese Charest [00:04:17]:

I like that group, too.

Dave Charest [00:04:18]:

So you started watching Girls again. So what I want to know is what made you decide to do that?

Reese Charest [00:04:27]:

So two reasons.

Dave Charest [00:04:28]:

Okay, there's two. Here we go. Number one.

Reese Charest [00:04:31]:

Number one is sometimes, especially lately, I have this, like, I definitely get this from my father. I don't know. Sometimes I need some what do you call it, some nostalgia. And I feel like sometimes I get that by watching certain shows.

Dave Charest [00:04:49]:

Okay.

Reese Charest [00:04:50]:

And I've been kind of like, yeah, maybe I want to rewatch because sometimes I like to watch Stranger Things just because sometimes I miss the 80s. Like, I love watching the 80s movies. And I'm like, okay. And then, I don't know. I was like, this world is not for me right now. Everything is such a mess. And I don't like anything that is on Netflix or whatever. Nothing is really making me excited. And so, as per usual, I'm on TikTok, and I follow a couple of these accounts where they show you clips from shows, like the best parts of certain shows. And there was like a couple of days where I kept coming across on my for you page clips from the show HBO show Girls. And I remember I was like, oh, my God, I used to love it. And then I remember there was like a point where I didn't love it, and then there was a point where it made me sad. And then I don't think I really liked the ending. Now I watched it in real time when it was on.

Dave Charest [00:05:52]:

Right? We both did.

Reese Charest [00:05:53]:

We watched that together. Yeah.

Dave Charest [00:05:55]:

I don't remember how it ended, of course.

Reese Charest [00:05:57]:

Yeah, I do, because I didn't like it. Well, I don't know. I was whatever about it, but now that I'm rewatching it, I'm like, okay. I think that ending is going to hit differently because some shows you have to watch after a certain amount of time has passed in order for you to go back and rewatch it and then see it through a different lens. You live a little, speak or you're.

Dave Charest [00:06:24]:

In a different place.

Reese Charest [00:06:24]:

Right. And so they showed a couple of clips on TikTok, and I'm like, you know, the show is actually really good. Let me go back. Say what you want about Lena Dunham, whatever. She's the actor. Her character, Hannah Horvath is. I mean, I it's a really good show just in terms of written the character development, but it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. She knows it. And I think part of my problem when I was first watching it, too, is like, her boobs are, like, constant. And now I guess I've grown accustomed because all the shows that we watch, everybody's boobs are out and other body parts, you know what I mean? And after Game of Thrones, everything is up for grabs. I'm like, whatever, it doesn't matter anymore. I've become immune to it. So now as I go, just from the first episode, I was like, okay, I'm in. Like, you know, you rewatch a show and you're like, oh, yeah, this is it. And it brought me back to now, what was that? 2014, 2013?

Dave Charest [00:07:28]:

So I don't really know. I don't remember the timeline. And that was the thing I was saying to you as we were watching. I think we're on season three right now.

Reese Charest [00:07:35]:

We might be on four. Did we get to four yet?

Dave Charest [00:07:38]:

I don't know. Maybe.

Reese Charest [00:07:39]:

We're going pretty fast.

Dave Charest [00:07:40]:

We're getting close. But I missed some because you started this journey without me. How dare you?

Reese Charest [00:07:45]:

Well, I started I wasn't that far in, but whatever. Anyway.

Dave Charest [00:07:52]:

What I was saying is that, oh, they're making references to things that I was like, oh, really? That happened then. We had those things that they were talking. It was more modern than I thought.

Reese Charest [00:08:01]:

It was further down the road than.

Dave Charest [00:08:04]:

It is, because that feels like if you said to me, oh, do you remember girls? I'm like, yeah, that was forever ago. And I guess in some levels it was. Well, okay. So what do you think?

Reese Charest [00:08:13]:

Wait, when you watch some episodes of The Office, I'll have to look.

Dave Charest [00:08:16]:

I'm going to look.

Reese Charest [00:08:16]:

They have flip phones.

Dave Charest [00:08:18]:

Yeah.

Reese Charest [00:08:18]:

You know what I mean? So you're just like, this is old. I want to say it's like 2013 or 2014. It could be a little bit before I came here, before I moved to Mass. And so I realized I'm looking at the clothes, and I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah. And I remember Shoshana's hair. I used to love the bun on the side, buns that she used to do. I'm like, yeah, all of that. All of that stuff.

Dave Charest [00:08:48]:

What was your guess on when it came out?

Reese Charest [00:08:49]:

I said, like, 2013. 2014.

Dave Charest [00:08:51]:

You're so close. Yeah, 2012. It was filmed in 2011, and the first season came out in 2012.

Reese Charest [00:08:58]:

I feel like it was a show that I watched when I got here.

Dave Charest [00:09:01]:

Was it?

Reese Charest [00:09:01]:

Yeah, when I moved here? Yeah.

Dave Charest [00:09:03]:

Oh, we moved here in 2011. Yeah, you're right. We did watch it when we were here.

Reese Charest [00:09:07]:

Wow.

Dave Charest [00:09:08]:

That's so weird, because to me, it feels like a show we watched back right in Brooklyn.

Reese Charest [00:09:13]:

I know. And it's not.

Dave Charest [00:09:15]:

Wow. It's so funny how our memories meaning and I mean, just in general, like, memories, our collective humans are so bad.

Reese Charest [00:09:27]:

Distorted, because I feel like these days we have so much stuff going on that your brain doesn't always calculate correctly time anymore, and especially when you get older.

Dave Charest [00:09:38]:

That now, for sure.

Reese Charest [00:09:39]:

The reason why I'm loving it right now is not just like, the characters are great, the writing is great. There's, like, certain parts of it that is so good, and I'm loving it. But also, they're in Brooklyn, so, like, all these little nods and little scenes, and I'm like, AW. I'm like I love it.

Dave Charest [00:09:58]:

It's bringing you the Brooklyn vibe.

Reese Charest [00:10:03]:

And so then I was trying to remember, why did I get so because when I watch a show and I'm in it, I get very invested.

Dave Charest [00:10:12]:

It was funny. I came in, you had your boobs out. Really into it.

Reese Charest [00:10:18]:

Absolutely. 100%. No, but I do give her I mean, that's ballsy, because that's, like, forever.

Dave Charest [00:10:24]:

Well, I think that was a big deal back in the day, right? To have somebody that is not your.

Reese Charest [00:10:28]:

Traditional people were so shitty about her body, and her body really wasn't that bad. Well, listen, it wasn't that bad. That's the way a woman's body should.

Dave Charest [00:10:40]:

But I think to the point of.

Reese Charest [00:10:42]:

The show offense to anybody in the.

Dave Charest [00:10:43]:

Point of doing it, right. It was very groundbreaking in that sense, right.

Reese Charest [00:10:47]:

I just feel like sometimes they went overboard.

Dave Charest [00:10:51]:

But it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. She's horrible. She's horrible as a person. But I love that they play that up and they lean into that, right? Oh, my God.

Reese Charest [00:11:01]:

But she finds her moments and human. The last episode that we watched was it last night, and it was just they got into this huge fight, the four of them, and then the next day, they're waiting to go home from their vacation where they just said, shauna said the Venus thing.

Dave Charest [00:11:19]:

But they all were.

Reese Charest [00:11:20]:

All but they all were. Yeah. And then the next day, they just the beauty of cutest, the cutest little thing. But that's the important part about friendship to me, is sometimes you have to be honest with people that you love, and it might hurt, but that's what you like instead of holding it in and harboring resentment. I don't know. I think that's not a friendship when.

Dave Charest [00:11:44]:

You tell your friends it's not based on reality. Right.

Reese Charest [00:11:50]:

Well, especially when people get mad at you and they write you off immediately. That's not your friend. That's not your friend. Your friends are the ones that are just like, dude, you're being super annoying. You know how many times I heard that one? So many times, but I bet please tell me. Well, you tell me every day, and I can't really do anything because I'm married to you, but friends can just toss you aside and be like, no, thanks. You know what I mean? I don't know. Anyway, but those aren't really friends.

Dave Charest [00:12:16]:

I mean, those are people you know?

Reese Charest [00:12:17]:

Right.

Dave Charest [00:12:19]:

Okay.

Reese Charest [00:12:19]:

And this show is about female friendship, which I really, really like. And just to really quickly wrap that up, I remembered why I connected with this show. And I'm not trying to say that I am, because sometimes you look at characters in the show and you're just like, which one is me? Right. I'm 100%. Hannah with a little bit more I don't know.

Dave Charest [00:12:47]:

I don't know what yeah, I'm not.

Reese Charest [00:12:49]:

As bad, but a little bit more clothes. 100%. There's no way that I would be as naked as she was throughout that whole series, but no, I just feel like she's an only child, and she's spoiled, she's a little petulant, and the whole she's creative.

Dave Charest [00:13:06]:

I'm not being confrontational right now when I say this, but the way everybody's like, you make everything about yourself, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it's always about you.

Reese Charest [00:13:13]:

Listen 100%. There's so many connections. And then the season that we're watching now is the one where she goes through a trauma and reverts back to some activities that she used to have when she was younger. And I remember that season, I would ball my eyes out because I'm just like, yes, that's me. There's, like, a scene where she sticks the QTIP all the way.

Dave Charest [00:13:36]:

Did that happen already? Did I miss that?

Reese Charest [00:13:38]:

You missed it, and I'm glad that you did, because I sat there and bowled my eyes. I bowled my eyes out because she's all about the self sabotage, and I feel like I totally connect with that because here's this amazing opportunity.

Dave Charest [00:13:53]:

What can I do to blow to mess it up so I can continue.

Reese Charest [00:13:57]:

To do what was made right? And then she's, like, googling all these things about the eardrum, and then it sets her back to this behavior. And just quickly yeah. I was trying to explain to you a little bit today. I'm learning a lot about myself. I mean, sometimes the Internet is really problematic, but sometimes it's really great. And I'm finding out a lot of things about myself that totally make sense. Total self diagnosis, and I save a lot of money, but I realized that today we went food shopping, and I'm just like I keep talking about this freaking romaine lettuce salad with fresh lemon and parmesan and a little bit of avocado oil that I found is, like, my new favorite thing. I can't stop eating it. So I find a food, and I obsess about it for, like, maybe a month or two, and then I want nothing to do with it after.

Dave Charest [00:14:58]:

So I want to say this because I feel like it's not much different from the things that I do, right? Like, I get into something, and I obsess about it for a while, and I really kind of focus on that thing.

Reese Charest [00:15:10]:

And you master it. You're the type of person that finds a project and then you learn about it, then you master it and then you move on. Or you find the next level of it and then you move on.

Dave Charest [00:15:23]:

Right.

Reese Charest [00:15:24]:

I am the same way, except in the fact that I find the comfort in repetition where sometimes you do not. So, yes, I will watch The Office because I know how it's going to end. That is comforting to me. I listen to the same music, which I know you don't like, and some of the songs are I get it. Like Blink 182. No offense to the Blink 182 hardcore fans. I get that.

Dave Charest [00:15:49]:

But there's yeah, for all those listeners.

Reese Charest [00:15:51]:

Out there, I have some friends that really love them, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I love a little blank. Some of the cheesy 90s music is my favorite stuff, but I like to listen to certain songs in repetition. I don't know. And the same thing goes for food and shows, and I don't know what it is, but I'm starting to learn that that is an actual I don't know if it's not OCD. So in the show, girl, she reverts back to this OCD compulsive behavior, and I actually used to have some of that that I guess I outgrew. I used to tap my fingertips when I would get nervous. Yeah. And so I don't do that as much. I do other things.

Dave Charest [00:16:35]:

I feel like you usually can bite your inside of your I do, yeah. Do you still do that?

Reese Charest [00:16:41]:

Sometimes, yeah. I don't realize I'm doing it.

Dave Charest [00:16:43]:

I haven't seen you do it in a while.

Reese Charest [00:16:44]:

That's fine. Sometimes I do it's when I'm under stress. Stress, of course. And in my sleep, I'm finding that while I'm sleeping, I am clenching my well.

Dave Charest [00:16:56]:

I mean, the whole thing, the joke with us is sometimes I'll look over and you'll be sleeping and you have, like, this furrowed brow, sour puss, and I'll rub your foreheads. I'm like, Dude, wake up and relax. You're making me nervous.

Reese Charest [00:17:11]:

In the morning, I wake up, I'm like, why am I Achy? I sleep clenched up. My fists are like, that Arthur meme where it's like his fist. I'm like and I don't know. I stress in my dreams, too. Like, I'm a mess. But it makes me cry because she reverts back to this OCD behavior, and I have like, It's not OCD. I thank God it's not OCD. It's OCD. Because I'm bougie. No, but I do have some quirks. Like, I can't sleep if any of the drawers are open or if I think right. If I think the bathroom mirror. We have our little bathroom mirror there where we have our separate little things, and sometimes you leave yours open, and that will drive me. I can't sleep. I have to get up and fix it.

Dave Charest [00:18:03]:

Okay. So I'm going to take one more diversion because we're already 18 minutes into this and we haven't gotten to where we were supposed to go.

Reese Charest [00:18:09]:

Because you start okay.

Dave Charest [00:18:10]:

But I'm going to go with it.

Reese Charest [00:18:11]:

All right.

Dave Charest [00:18:12]:

So I learned the other day that there were some houses built in, like the maybe before that, where in the medicine cabinet, and I don't know if you've ever witnessed this yourself. There used to be a little slot where you could put in your used razor blades, but the slot didn't go anywhere where you could empty it. It just went into the wall of the house. And so when people go in to.

Reese Charest [00:18:41]:

Redo something, all these razor boards, there.

Dave Charest [00:18:43]:

Are a huge test.

Reese Charest [00:18:44]:

That's going to be the new thing. I'm going to Google.

Dave Charest [00:18:46]:

I'll send you a picture because someone sent me because we were talking about it.

Reese Charest [00:18:50]:

That's why people find the craziest stuff craziest shit. So our friend's son okay. Does I'll give a little shout out to Tyler. I don't know if he listens to us, but he does that. What do they call that when they go in and he's not flipping houses. That's not a good term. But he goes in and they get houses.

Dave Charest [00:19:08]:

They remodel them.

Reese Charest [00:19:09]:

They remodel them and do all this stuff. And I love watching his videos to watch, like, before and after. But also sometimes he finds the coolest stuff in these older houses.

Dave Charest [00:19:18]:

Sure.

Reese Charest [00:19:19]:

And I'm like I would love that. I don't know. That's kind of cool. Definitely. Send me that video. All right.

Dave Charest [00:19:26]:

That was the diversion.

Reese Charest [00:19:28]:

All right.

Dave Charest [00:19:28]:

And then the diversion from that diversion. But now let's get back to the original point, which was we're sitting on the couch watching girls.

Reese Charest [00:19:35]:

Oh, my God. Wow. Whoa. The GPS took us all the way on a detour.

Dave Charest [00:19:44]:

Went the long way.

Reese Charest [00:19:45]:

I was on the couch first.

Dave Charest [00:19:47]:

Yes.

Reese Charest [00:19:47]:

So you didn't notice, but no. Four.

Dave Charest [00:19:49]:

No, I did. So I did notice.

Reese Charest [00:19:52]:

Say anything?

Dave Charest [00:19:53]:

Because I was like because you thought it was you. I think it was when I no, I didn't think it was me. Well, okay, I should rephrase that. I went through all the options of what it could be, and I think I'm pretty sure I did smell something at one point. And then I went out did I go to yoga?

Reese Charest [00:20:12]:

You went to yoga.

Dave Charest [00:20:12]:

I went to yoga. And then when I came back, I was like, okay, or maybe that's wrong. Maybe I didn't smell it before because I thought it was the sauce. I thought it was the sauce.

Reese Charest [00:20:24]:

I feel if you really did, you would have said something to me, but you didn't. Or maybe you didn't have an opportunity.

Dave Charest [00:20:29]:

Yeah, maybe I didn't.

Reese Charest [00:20:30]:

It might have been whatever. Anyway, we're sitting on the couch. I'm sitting.

Dave Charest [00:20:35]:

I'm not home.

Reese Charest [00:20:35]:

You're not home yet. You're sitting on the couch. I made my romaine and Parmesan cheese with avocado oil avocado oil and fresh lemon juice. And I'm living my best life, and I put the bowl up on the table, the side table, and then to Adam watching Girls, and I'm laying down on the couch. I get all comfy, and then I'm like, smell I smell something. Smell. I'm like, what does that smell like? It smells a little bit like again, sorry for this reference, because it smelled like a little bit of, like, cool Ranch Doritos, which I do not like. I do not like the smell of.

Dave Charest [00:21:20]:

That I got you.

Reese Charest [00:21:21]:

And so I'm like, what is that? But then it also smells like sour or old cheese.

Dave Charest [00:21:27]:

Okay.

Reese Charest [00:21:28]:

So again, go ahead.

Dave Charest [00:21:30]:

I was going to say, from my perspective, it smelled like something on the inside that should not have been what I I was hmm.

Reese Charest [00:21:40]:

Yes. I'm going to do you one better. So as I am laying there trying to figure out what is that? I had a flashback when I was in college, I had a roommate named Jill, and we were before the Christmas break, we're supposed to unhurdle. Yep. We're supposed to unplug the refrigerator and take everything out, and I left first. I unplugged. I took all my stuff out. Jill had stuff in there. I said, do you want this? Like, yeah, yeah. I'm going to come in. I'm going to get some stuff out of the room and whatever. In fact, she did not go in and take stuff out. I show up a couple of weeks later because there was, like, a theater conference or whatever, the ACTF or whatever, and I got to go to the campus early, and I got to stay in my room. And the second I walked into the building, I was on the third floor, and no one was on the campus yet, and it's winter, and I'm like, what is that? Someone die in this building? Now this is walking in to the building. I'm on the third floor. I get to the third floor.

Dave Charest [00:22:39]:

I mean, that's pretty intense.

Reese Charest [00:22:41]:

David in the building, if I tell you I open that door, that smell pushed me against the wall. What? Something crawled into this room and died. And I'm looking around, looking around. I look under my desk where the refrigerator was, and there's this white it looked like something out of, like, fringe or X Files. It was up on the walls, on my desk, everywhere. There's, like, white substance, and it looked like it was, like, bubbling. I'm like, what is yeah, and it was frozen because the heat wasn't on. So I'm like, what is this? I open. Jill had not taken she liked eggnog. She bought eggnog before.

Dave Charest [00:23:21]:

We doesn't like a festive glass.

Reese Charest [00:23:24]:

That's why I don't drink it, if you notice. Not a fan. And she had left it there. The fridge was unplugged. It exploded, leaked out from the fridge, froze, and had been there smelling up the entire building for like three weeks. And that's what that smell reminded me of immediately. And I got triggered because I had to clean it and still sleep in that room for like three days. And it was just horrible. Anyway, so I'm laying there and I'm like, okay. So I'm smelling the blanket. I'm like, It's not the blanket. Is it the pillow? It's not the pillow. I'm like, Is it me? So I'm smelling myself because I took a shower. I'm like, I don't know. I hope I don't smell like this, right? And then I'm like, because I was.

Dave Charest [00:24:07]:

Doing the same thing.

Reese Charest [00:24:08]:

Then.

Dave Charest [00:24:08]:

I was like, same things are going through my mind.

Reese Charest [00:24:10]:

I was like, It's fucking Dave.

Dave Charest [00:24:11]:

Yeah.

Reese Charest [00:24:12]:

I was like, I bet you any money this is what went on in my head. I was like, I bet you I was at my classes or at rehearsal and you sat there naked and put your ass on a pillow or a blanket and it just smelled like dirty boy butt. And not that you are a pretty clean you're.

Dave Charest [00:24:35]:

Okay, so a couple of things, grown man for one.

Reese Charest [00:24:38]:

Good. No offense.

Dave Charest [00:24:39]:

No, for one, I don't sit around naked. For two. For number two, the bidet is a game changer.

Reese Charest [00:24:49]:

I know it is.

Dave Charest [00:24:50]:

And I have gotten to the point where I used to be like, whatever, I got to shit. Where I'm going to shit, I'm going to shit. That when I go to places I'm always like, there's no bidet.

Reese Charest [00:25:06]:

You sure about that?

Dave Charest [00:25:07]:

Yeah, seriously. Because I hate it. I hate it because I have to get that area clean.

Reese Charest [00:25:16]:

Well, you know what, though? And so you're right. You're very precise. But anyway, TMI but I was like, this has to be it. Because in my head, right, I got you.

Dave Charest [00:25:26]:

Because I was saying the same thing, though.

Reese Charest [00:25:28]:

Possibly. And then I was like, well, maybe it's my so I took the bowl that I ate, my salad, whatever I put in the sink, and I went to go lay back down again. I'm like, Fuck, what is this? Then you came home and I didn't say anything.

Dave Charest [00:25:41]:

Okay.

Reese Charest [00:25:41]:

I thought it was me. No, also, for 2 seconds, I thought I might be having a stroke because sometimes I smell weird smells that no one else smells.

Dave Charest [00:25:51]:

Yeah, well, don't I got you. Yeah, I get home and I get some food. You made some food. I get some of the food.

Reese Charest [00:26:00]:

And it was really nice. You said, thank you for making dinner. And I was like, because sometimes you don't eat what I make because you're actually really good at sticking to your meal plan. No, you're good. But I made a little chicken concoction and you were like, I try to.

Dave Charest [00:26:16]:

Stay away from the oils. And you like to use a lot of oils. That's the problem. You go a little too heavy on the sauce.

Reese Charest [00:26:23]:

Type of sparingly. Sparingly. I've been using that avocado.

Dave Charest [00:26:28]:

I know. Apparently, that seems to be your new thing.

Reese Charest [00:26:30]:

It's my new favorite thing.

Dave Charest [00:26:32]:

Anyway, so I come home. I get some food that you made. I sit down, and I'm sitting on the side of the like you sat up, so I'm sitting on the thing, and I'm like, only in like this is why I feel like I smelt it early, because it was like, only in certain positions did you smell it. And I was like, oh, do you.

Reese Charest [00:26:52]:

Remember the AHA moment that we both had? Because I don't remember it.

Dave Charest [00:26:55]:

Oh, yeah. Well, so we're sitting there, and so now the things that you're talking about are all going through my head. And I'm like, no. First it was like, Is it me? Is it my ass? Is it me? I'm like, It's me, right? So I'm trying to figure out, like, okay, that definitely does not smell good, right? And so what is it? And then it the is it the food? Is it the sauce? Is it from the angle that the sauce was at? And then I'm like, Is it Reese? Reese wouldn't smell like this. I'm like, never in my life have I had you know what mean?

Reese Charest [00:27:30]:

Like, I mean, women have a smell, but it's definitely if you have that.

Dave Charest [00:27:34]:

Smell if you have this smell, you got to go, no, get and so then we're sitting there, and then I think I was finally like, because I think I was, like, making faces and doing things and you're like you were kind of looking at me, and I'm like I'm like do you smell that?

Reese Charest [00:27:48]:

Oh, you're right. And I was like and you were like, okay. God.

Dave Charest [00:27:51]:

Right? Because I think we both were, like, alone because you were kind of thinking it was me, apparently. And I was kind of thinking it was you. And so I don't think we wanted to be rude to each other and.

Reese Charest [00:28:01]:

Be like, why do you fucking marriage is fun.

Dave Charest [00:28:03]:

So then we were like, I'm like I'm thinking it was the food. I'm like, It doesn't feel like the food. So we moved the things.

Reese Charest [00:28:10]:

Then I was like, too. Is you smell I was like, Smell the yeah, because you smell the blanket.

Dave Charest [00:28:15]:

I think it might be the blanket.

Reese Charest [00:28:16]:

But it wasn't the blanket.

Dave Charest [00:28:17]:

And then I'm like, I smell like pillow.

Reese Charest [00:28:18]:

No, that's not the smell. Then you took the cushions off, which I have to say.

Dave Charest [00:28:25]:

That'S, right? Yeah. So then I'm like, okay, well, let's smell the things, because we're trying to discover smelled everything, right? So we're like, okay, smell the pillows. Not the pillows. Okay, it's not the cushions. And then I think I was like, oh, I wonder if dumb dumb.

Reese Charest [00:28:46]:

I think I said it first, though. I was like I think I was like, Maybe. Because here's the thing. Don't call him dumb dumb.

Dave Charest [00:28:53]:

I'll call him what. I want to call him don't call him dumb Dumb.

Reese Charest [00:28:57]:

He is not dumb dumb. He is a special kind of chunk. And you leave him alone. He's so innocent. Like, I cannot get mad at him. So magic is a puker. And he's been a puker since we got him the puking and the fur with this cat. But I love him. He's such a good boy. He's just such a good boy. But he does puke. He pukes a lot. A lot.

Dave Charest [00:29:26]:

So every morning, you kind of have to walk in the room on tiptoes.

Reese Charest [00:29:28]:

Because you're like, am I going to step at night, sometimes I go into the kitchen to get a little drink and not a drinky drink, just water or whatever. And I put the light on because I don't know what I might step on. It's always like a yeah, exactly. Like, you never know. So his thing, though, during the summer, he'll go under the couch because it's nice and cool under there. And so I was like, what if he threw up under but he never goes under that couch that we were sitting on. Well, he under the other couch, which I'm afraid to we still didn't go.

Dave Charest [00:30:06]:

We didn't go into the second one. All right, so let's tell what we're I feel like this might be the whole episode. Jesus, we're already 31 minutes.

Reese Charest [00:30:12]:

It is. It should be. It's fine.

Dave Charest [00:30:14]:

So I had said, okay, I wonder if Dum Dum had leave him alone thrown up under one of the couches, right? And you were like, oh, yeah, that's a possibility.

Reese Charest [00:30:33]:

And side note, every once in a while, Peppa, when you let her in, we lock her out at night because she'll drive us crazy. At, like, 04:00 in the morning.

Dave Charest [00:30:44]:

She's like, Lassie.

Reese Charest [00:30:46]:

She's very bad. And she is like, Lassie. So I let her in, and she'll come in.

Dave Charest [00:30:51]:

Except we have no like sometimes she.

Reese Charest [00:30:53]:

Is like, under duress. And we're like, what is it? Literally, Peppa? She will literally come in stuck in a well. And sometimes it's sometimes it's the food didn't come out from the thing, or she threw up someplace, and you go.

Dave Charest [00:31:10]:

I got to live with the idiot cat, right?

Reese Charest [00:31:13]:

And so there were a couple of mornings where she was just like, wild. And I was like, I don't know.

Dave Charest [00:31:19]:

We didn't know what was going on.

Reese Charest [00:31:21]:

And that was definitely it.

Dave Charest [00:31:22]:

It was definitely it.

Reese Charest [00:31:23]:

And so we were like, all right. So first, after we get rid of all the things on the top of.

Dave Charest [00:31:29]:

The couch, the reason why we were.

Reese Charest [00:31:31]:

Pull the cushions up well, the reason.

Dave Charest [00:31:33]:

Why we were taking everything off is because I was like, okay, we probably have to move the couches. And I didn't want to do that if it was so that's why we're doing it in phases, right? Like, smell this thing and smell that thing and smell this thing and see if it's that. Then we got down to, okay, it's definitely not the thing. And so when we got down to, it was just the couch left. You were like, all right, I'm going to go look underneath.

Reese Charest [00:31:53]:

No, right. And so you took the cushions off the couch, and I looked at a full summer's worth of oh, wow. Absolute. How there's no bedbugs or any bugs. I vacuum at least every other day. I vacuum that living room. What is that, the TV room? I vacuum because the cat fur is out of control. I vacuum the couches. I'll admit, all summer long, I did not pull the cushions up from the couches and vacuum under there. That was my bad. But I do vacuum underneath the couch.

Dave Charest [00:32:32]:

So everybody knows. If you're getting to the point where you're like, oh, I feel I felt.

Reese Charest [00:32:39]:

Guilty for not don't feel guilty about.

Dave Charest [00:32:41]:

It, because I think this is something everybody can relate to. You know, when you pull the cushions up on your couch, especially if you have kids and you're like, what is underneath these cushions?

Reese Charest [00:32:53]:

Disgusting.

Dave Charest [00:32:54]:

Oh, God.

Reese Charest [00:32:55]:

So, yeah, full three course meal for what was underneath these cushions. That was part one of disgust.

Dave Charest [00:33:05]:

We looked at that. So then you said, okay, I'm going to look underneath. And you were like, oh, yeah, there was a pile of puke.

Reese Charest [00:33:13]:

Yes. I pulled up the cloth part of the couch, and I had my light, my flashlight on my phone. Within a second, it was a millisecond. I was like, yes, there it is. And it was a little tiny vomit. It was a little one. It wasn't even like a big one. Nastiest okay, so now I'm like, all right. So it was like the 18 was like so we definitely went into action.

Dave Charest [00:33:42]:

We broke into action.

Reese Charest [00:33:43]:

And let me tell you, I have to say, when we're on I was really impressed.

Dave Charest [00:33:50]:

Look, when we're on the same wave.

Reese Charest [00:33:52]:

We had a fight today in Market Basket. That was freaking dumb. But when we are yeah, well, maybe you didn't know that that was happening, but it was happening. I almost divorced you in the cereal aisle of Market Basket today because you were out of control. But so was I. Because I'm ridiculous. But you take it a step further. Anyway, actually, I almost divorced you on the way to Market Basket because of your reaction of the keychain I put on the spare key to my car. The spare key Epileptic. But whatever you got really over the top about it, I'm like, it's going to be a long Saturday.

Dave Charest [00:34:27]:

Well, you know what it was? That was one of those things where the things built.

Reese Charest [00:34:30]:

I'm like, it was like falling down by the time we got to Market Basket, you're like, you are so annoying.

Dave Charest [00:34:38]:

Because you always.

Reese Charest [00:34:42]:

I'm annoying fun.

Dave Charest [00:34:45]:

Yeah, we're both fun, first of all. So the reason for that, though, was because I'm like this fucking keychain now is hitting my leg.

Reese Charest [00:34:52]:

Yeah, that would never bother me, but I'm going to think about a tall person.

Dave Charest [00:34:58]:

But that's my point.

Reese Charest [00:34:59]:

I'm like, why people don't think about tall people.

Dave Charest [00:35:01]:

Why are you putting this keychain on my key?

Reese Charest [00:35:04]:

People? Why are you putting this on my fighting about right now. But this is the point anyway.

Dave Charest [00:35:09]:

So why are you putting this on my thing anyway? I'm done. You brought it up.

Reese Charest [00:35:13]:

I did. Now I'm going to let it go. But when we are on the same page about something, right? We're really good, actually. Magic. Speaking of irony, immediately you're like, okay, so we both get into action. I'm like, first we're going to need masks. You're like, I'm going to go get the masks. Then we were like, all right, what should we do with the couch that bad. I was like, let's get the stuff first that we're going to need. And then you're going to have to pull the couch out. You're like cool. So you go get masks.

Dave Charest [00:35:43]:

We got bags. We got things.

Reese Charest [00:35:45]:

We got the clean. I'm like, you got cleaner, we got paper towels. Everything situated, all the things. So we're like, all right, let's do this. And so you move the couch, and it literally was like the littlest piece of vomit. Like, it wasn't even that bad. But that thing must have been there. I think the heat probably a couple of days of the hot September summer.

Dave Charest [00:36:08]:

You said it was hard, though.

Reese Charest [00:36:09]:

It was brick. You could have thrown that.

Dave Charest [00:36:13]:

And probably you know what it reminded me of was you know those times where we would have when we lived in Brooklyn and the mice would die on the wall, and then you would just have to wait, right? You would just have to wait until they got through the phase where they were decomposing and they were dust. Yeah, and I feel like we were in the phase where they're decomposing, and it's gross. But the fact that you say it was hard was interesting because it still had that scent. And I think maybe that's why it only had it at certain angles, almost. I don't know, whatever it was. So we went in there, we moved the couches, moved the things. We were like, got the thing.

Reese Charest [00:36:54]:

It was choreographed magic. I don't think anybody could have said Bob Fosse would have been like, do this move, then this move, then this move, and Snap and Twirl and Potter beret.

Dave Charest [00:37:08]:

I don't even know what that means.

Reese Charest [00:37:10]:

I do. The only thing I regret from that whole thing and there was the lighting of the candle. I'm like, wait, let me get the lighter. We lit a candle. We sprayed the stuff. You're like, we should use bleach. I'm like, no, because we don't want to smell bleach when we're there. It was like a whole thing. It was so great. And both of us were everybody was cool. Magic was like, I'm going to get out of here because it's my fault. But it was so great. We got it coordinated, I have to say. Nice work, babe.

Dave Charest [00:37:47]:

Yeah. Hey, good job.

Reese Charest [00:37:48]:

Teamwork makes a dream work. We got it done.

Dave Charest [00:37:51]:

We got it situated. We got everything back into place. We cleaned the couch. We cleaned whatever was going on there. We did a good job. We were helping each other with the vacuuming.

Reese Charest [00:37:58]:

Everything was great.

Dave Charest [00:37:59]:

And so now if you ever want to come over and watch some television with us, the only thing you'll smell is your own damn.

Reese Charest [00:38:06]:

And the couches will be clean. Not the other couch, because I think.

Dave Charest [00:38:08]:

We have so yeah, so we finished the one couch, and then we were like, you know what? We probably need to do the I was exhausted.

Reese Charest [00:38:15]:

And we were like, exhausted.

Dave Charest [00:38:16]:

We'll save that. So maybe tomorrow we'll do that one, or maybe later.

Reese Charest [00:38:20]:

At some point tomorrow's football. We'll save that tomorrow.

Dave Charest [00:38:23]:

All right, listen, I'm going to call this episode, okay. Because we didn't get to what we wanted to.

Reese Charest [00:38:27]:

No, but I think this is wape. Don't even mention what we were going to talk about.

Dave Charest [00:38:30]:

Yeah, no, I'm not going to. But this is the mysterious smell.

Reese Charest [00:38:35]:

Oh, I like it.

Dave Charest [00:38:35]:

Yeah.

Reese Charest [00:38:36]:

Can I just give a quick moral of the story?

Dave Charest [00:38:39]:

Oh, there's a moral?

Reese Charest [00:38:40]:

Moral of the story. You have any pets? You got some kids clean under your couches? Don't just vacuum under there and think you did it. If you can move the couch, move it.

Dave Charest [00:38:52]:

Yeah, I think you got to move the couch. You got to see what's under there. I think we got to send Aaron in there, actually. Maybe we do that after this. Let him do a thing because he goes under the couches and does stuff.

Reese Charest [00:39:03]:

Can you imagine, though, explain what Aaron is?

Dave Charest [00:39:06]:

Because people don't know Aaron is our maybe they know is our irobot vacuum.

Reese Charest [00:39:12]:

Right?

Dave Charest [00:39:13]:

Yeah.

Reese Charest [00:39:13]:

And we named it Aaron after Aaron Rogers, because he sucks. Get it? All right.

Dave Charest [00:39:19]:

Anyway, so I think before we let it go in there, though, we should look underneath the big couch just to make sure there's not anything weird in there. But otherwise, let's send Aaron in there to do his thing.

Reese Charest [00:39:29]:

You're right. So go Pats. Tomorrow, first game of the season, Brady football, number one. You deserve your flag, baby. Yeah, my whatever she said.
