on with the show. Hey this is Scott

0:02

and you're listening to What Was

0:04

That Like? New episodes with guest

0:06

telling their amazing stories are Every

0:08

Other Friday, but today we have

0:10

the Every Other Tuesday, Tuesday question.

0:12

In the podcast Facebook group we

0:15

have a new thought-provoking question every

0:17

Tuesday and it generates some really

0:19

interesting and sometimes deep discussions. We'd

0:21

love to have you join us.

0:23

Just go to What Was That

0:25

like.com/Facebook. But if you're not in

0:27

that group... We bring it to

0:30

you here in a short episode

0:32

every other Tuesday. We dig into

0:34

the group archives and find one

0:36

of the past Tuesday questions that

0:38

we've discussed. Then Meredith and I

0:40

answered that question and we talk

0:43

about some of the answers that

0:45

came in from other listeners. And

0:47

in a few days, I'm talking

0:49

this coming Friday, a brand new

0:51

what was that like episode. Let's

0:53

do it. And we're back. Yeah, what

0:56

happened to your audio? We can't hear

0:58

it. No, it sounds weird.

1:00

Hmm. Like, um... Can you,

1:02

or there's anything you

1:04

can adjust? Like, it's

1:06

kind of like, it's kind

1:08

of like, it's like a chip

1:11

monkey kind of sound.

1:13

What? Are you messing with

1:15

me? Sorry, this episode comes

1:17

out on April the first.

1:20

So... Oh my gosh. You know,

1:22

just when I think I'm

1:24

keeping up. There's Scott in

1:27

his Excel spreadsheet going ha

1:29

ha ha ha ha what can

1:31

I do That was a fun

1:34

start anyway Usually, you know, I

1:36

don't usually do anything on April

1:38

1st because that's the day for

1:41

all the amateurs. I like doing

1:43

stuff, you know throughout the year. Oh

1:45

my gosh, are you for real

1:47

a prankster? Oh, yeah, absolutely

1:50

Yeah, you prank your wife I

1:52

have she doesn't always see

1:54

the humor You know, I knew that

1:56

you were going to respond that

1:58

way immediately. after the lips

2:00

closed, the eyes looked up

2:02

to the left and you

2:04

were like, yeah, but I

2:06

like living. So I like

2:08

to be able to sleep

2:10

at night without feeling nervous.

2:12

Right. Yeah, because we have

2:14

sharp things in our kitchen.

2:16

The only time I've pulled a

2:18

prank was as a teenager, I

2:21

switched the salt with the

2:23

sugar and my mom made very

2:25

salty coffee. And I thought it was

2:27

great. I thought it was so funny

2:29

because she would tell us tales of

2:32

all the pranks that she pulled as

2:34

a child. So I thought, ah, this

2:36

is like I'll be cool and it'll

2:38

be funny and we'll have a good

2:41

laugh and then we'll tell the story

2:43

of my prank. No, that is not

2:45

what happened. That is not what happened.

2:47

I got in trouble. She was

2:49

so mad. But now I understand. You

2:52

don't mess with a woman's coffee. Was

2:54

it the whole pot or just a

2:56

hot? She was easy enough to remedy.

2:58

Now my husband messes up this on

3:01

his own. I don't have to

3:03

pull a prank because I actually

3:05

do put salt in my coffee

3:07

on purpose. And so there's the

3:09

salt jar and the sugar jar

3:11

and he will confuse them on

3:13

his own and put large amounts

3:15

of salt in his coffee and then

3:17

he'll like be a little dust bunny

3:19

of cuss words and you know frustration.

3:22

And I'm like, listen, nothing has

3:24

changed. Wow, he's self-prankinging.

3:27

Yep. That's good. So you get

3:29

to laugh without having to take

3:31

the blame. Exactly. That's pretty cool.

3:33

I know I've done a ton of pranks. I'll

3:35

have to come up with one or two. We'll

3:38

talk about them. You know, that's

3:40

a good Tuesday question. What's the

3:42

best prank you've ever pulled or

3:44

has been done on you? Oh, that is good.

3:46

I love a good prank. And the

3:48

best ones are the ones that nobody

3:51

gets hurt or, you know, physically

3:53

obviously, but nobody gets offended

3:55

or mad or... It's just

3:57

a good, good harmless joke.

3:59

Yes. are Be

12:43

sure to click on the travel tab

12:45

on their site to browse all the

12:48

travel accessories, suitcases, and jewelry organizers you'll

12:50

want for your next trip. I'm eyeing

12:52

the Napa Leather RFID blocking passport holder

12:54

because I just learned that if your

12:56

passport gets ripped you might not be

12:58

able to cross a border. Did you

13:01

know that? I didn't know that. I

13:03

just always thought passport covers were a

13:05

looks thing. Turns out they have utility

13:07

and you get looks and utility with

13:10

quince all with the reassurance of safe

13:12

and ethical manufacturing. If

30:01
