Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.
[Music]
I love you Curadh. I love you, Baehr. This is episode 175 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We're going to play Husband Tag.
Do you ever heard of Husband Tag?
We were going to do going to try to do an episode about Starfleet Academy
because Haunt Cub asked us to and he is one of our two listeners. I think his husband is the
other one, but this one was already prepared like three weeks ago so maybe we'll do that one next week.
Yeah so, we can do our homework and watch the show or I'll do my homework and watch the show
because I know you're going to watch it. Yeah, so yeah okay. Where did we meet?
Online. Which line? The grocery store line? No, you know what I mean when you say that's where we met
on an app. Yeah, I don't remember which one. The growler? It was. Do they still exist?
I don't know. I haven't been on it since me and you hooked up. I kind of found you and
didn't need to be on there anymore. Yeah. And that's the worst way to meet anybody that you
will have a long-term relationship with. Yeah, I'm kind of kind of lucky then we might guess.
Being of my you did. Oh, I did you didn't? Okay so we're going that way with it now. All right I think
we both got lucky. What was your first impression of me? That you were cute. Cute. That's what
I was going for. No, I thought you were hot. I thought you were hot. How about you and me?
I sort of reserved my judgment until you took your shirt off.
And then you know I thought this guy's interesting. Okay there you go. Because I have a hairy chest.
Now if I didn't have a hairy chest. Well, if I wanted to f*ck a girl.
You're terrible. All right when did you meet my family? Oh god it was several years ago.
Several years ago, because they lived out of state. Yeah so, I think I met your family.
It was the day my father killed himself, wasn't it? No no no I met them for that. We had Christmas and
all that before. Because we met in November and then I remember. It was after Christmas that I made
your family. Because I remember calling and talking to you on Christmas but I didn't meet your family
yet because you were up there with another. You were up there with someone. That was like 12-13
years ago. I can't remember breakfast. Longer than that. Yeah, so how long have we been together?
We just answered that. Well, 2013 we started married 10 years this year. Yeah, I lost my leg in 2013.
2012 we met. Yeah. So, what's the math on that? 13 years. Oh look 13.
Yeah 13 years of bliss. We're still doing it. Mm-hmm happily. Do we have any traditions?
Don't really? Right off the top of my head, I can't think of anything but I'm sure we have a bunch.
Probably but yeah, I don't. I can't think of anything off the top of my head either. I don't know.
A tradition is like something you do every year right? Yeah, I don't have sex.
We have sex more than once a year. I don't think. Do we have any traditions? We sort of celebrate
our wedding anniversary. Yeah. Especially this year it was our 10th year. Yeah. I mean we do birthdays
for each other. Stuff like that. I mean but never like Valentine's. No. It's just... No, I'm
about to bear home for you last year and you're like we don't do Valentine's Day. Okay.
That's what I get for bringing a teddy bear home for Valentine's Day. But yeah, I don't think...
I don't know. It's all on me later on probably. Yeah. What was our first road trip? Well, we had several
trips to the lake. I think that was shortly after I got the car and I bought a state permit which I don't
think I continue to buy every year and I don't think we've used since then. But it's not
all that expensive, isn't it? Oh no it's like 15 bucks and they added to your
version. Yeah yeah, your car vehicle tag. Yeah. We also went to I think it's called Red Rock.
Is it? Yeah. The place that looks like the road runner and ride at Wiley Coyote. We've done that.
We went up from Cortez. Oh Cortez. Castle. Yes. And Mushroom Rocks up there. Mushroom Rocks
we went up there. Lynchburg. Lynchburg. We've been up there. We've been up to the Lake Drop. Never
anything out of state here. Kansas City. Well, we went there and came right back because you got sick.
Well, we stayed the one time. We stayed overnight remember? We went to the aquarium. Yeah. That was
when you got sick. Well, we went up to one time. Came right back. Got sick and then we went up and
stayed the night and actually went to the aquarium the next day and went to eat you know that. I think
that was all the same. And one time we went up and turned around got sick, stayed sick all night and
drove back the very next day but then we went up about a month later and I felt better drove up state
the day, state two nights instead of just the one night and went to the... I remember the aquarium but
I thought that was all in that trip. And then we went to the retail and restaurants that we both
really enjoyed too. So, I'd like to do that again. I really would. So, I want to make an effort to do that.
What was the first thing you noticed about me? I've already answered this one. Yeah, I think we
both did, don't we? What did you notice about me? My enormous penis? Yeah, because you just walk around
with it hanging out all the time. I don't know. I remember you had a hat on that said bear.
I put that on so because I told you that you could find me. And I guess I do wear that sometimes.
Yeah, you've been wearing it a long time though. Well, I have a better hat now that keeps me cool.
Yeah. What pisses you off? Oh god what do we start? The podcast every week? No.
Besides politics? I guess we're supposed to answer this about the other, aren't we?
I don't know. I think we're doing okay so far. Okay. Trump pisses you off. Yeah, very much though.
He pisses you off too does any. Oh, I know. I think of him kind of like a clown. Yeah, you don't
let him get to him as much as I let him get to me. I don't pity him the way I pity clowns though.
Yeah. Yeah no. Trump pisses me off. Everyone knows that. Mean people.
Entitlement pisses me off. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing really. You really don't come mad. You're a very late
peck person. Would you say I get mad easily? Have I ever seen you mad? I don't know. I have you.
Nothing I can remember. You see me. You had a scene. Yeah, I guess I do know that there's a
difference between you being mad in general and being mad at me. I try to recognize that you're
very rarely mad at me. You're very rarely very rarely that I can mad at you. But yeah, the other
shirt comes and says yeah, I get pissed off. That doesn't work necessarily the other way because when
I get angry you always assume that it's you that I'm angry with. I've gotten better about that though.
But yeah, I try not to let my temper get to me but it takes a lot to get my temper going but I don't
think you've ever seen me lose my temper. It's not pretty so that's why I try not to do it but I
think I've honestly lost my temper maybe a full time in my life but it's not pretty and I don't like
being that way. It's not a good sign. I try to steer clear of that. I know some of your customers
piss you off. Oh yeah, a lot. Especially yesterday I wanted to see if we're cold outside. It's like
stay the best home. But my customers never piss me off. Well, you know IT does. Yeah the
company that they hire to do the IT is just a waste of breath and time and money. I have learned
that when I submit a ticket I not only need to tell them the problem. I need to also tell them
how to fix it. That's ridiculous. Because they won't give me the privileges to fix it myself.
And if I just write the problem they'll spend a week having meetings and
really when I know exactly what to do in every case so I've learned to state the problem, state
the solution and put on the ticket the name of the group that it needs to be routed to because
there's so many different things that everybody there only knows their little specific thing
and it takes a while to figure out who that is. Wow. So, they're completely inept. Completely.
Wow. Well, they've been replaced. I know they're company and I'm really impressed with them.
Oh good. So far anyway. Another overseas group? No. No they're not. Yeah, they've replaced.
Yeah, they're okay. The company that I have been dealing with for all these years is an auditor
for our company now and they can't they can't be both a customer and an auditor. Okay.
So, they lost contract. Okay. I'll get for you. Let's see what we're going on. Number nine.
Favorite feature about each other? Your big high restart.
And I know you're going to say that. Same thing about you then. So now let's tell my favorite
thing about you. It's one of my favorite things about you. I just you're a real personality.
I just love you. I think I'm a stabilizing influence. Yeah. I would agree with that. Yeah. So
I think I'm most impressed with your ability to put up with me. What do you mean? What's it
I put up with? That's a good way to just look at it, I guess. Yeah, I don't think I put up with you.
You have your quirks on mine. Okay. I think in order for you to decide what to do in a situation you
so, you go what would bear do and then do the opposite. I do not. You should tell us.
As far as we're just completely opposite in every possible way. Yeah, but I mean we bounce each other
out. I mean we're good at keeping you even keel. And your pluses are my minuses and vice versa.
What am I good at? I just looked at that question. What am I good at good at?
What am I good at? Nothing I can think of. But are you good at? I can think of either. It's hard
being so aware of. Hard being so perfect, isn't it? Well though I mean if we were good at things we'd
have a hard time finding if we were perfect, we're going to have our time for the same things that
we're good at. I don't know I think I'm just good person in general. Yeah, I would agree with that.
I think I have a good heart. You're not evil. So, I think you're the same way. I think you're a very
caring person. What am I not good at? Talk to him. Is that why this podcast is such a struggle
every time? You talk more in the podcast than you do the rest of the week. So, it's been kind of a
dearth for a while. It's been three weeks since we've actually talked. Yeah, I'm kidding. I don't
know. What am I not good at? Keeping your sleep schedule? That's true. I don't. I think you know
me I just sleep whenever I do. It's like last night I fell asleep watching the suffice last night
and then I was up at three o'clock in the morning and I was up since that's why like when you woke up
at six or like five o'clock when you got dizzy or whatever that's why I was already I was up. I was
I was staying here watching TV. I just went to sleep. So that's why I was in the bedroom so quickly
checking on you. So that's but that's why there's times where I'll sleep during the day and I'll be
up all night or now I have no sleep schedule whatsoever. That's supposed to be really bad for you.
Yeah, I know but where you were super regimented but I but I know I have to chase you off the bed though
sometimes you know get sidetracked at night. Well, there's things I've got to do and there's only
so many hours. Well, you get so you get on mastodon though too and we'll sit down around them there
later than you should be so don't sit there and say there's things you need to get done. You play
on the computer a little too later it's just like when me I'll start watching a movie or something
like that at 11 o'clock at night you know I mean I don't wonder why I was up to two in the morning.
Well, I think the secret to I don't want to move these much anymore but what's a lot of YouTube and
most of its short form stuff but some of its long and the TV has a thing where you can just turn
the picture off. Oh okay. So, and it has a timer you can say to turn off in half an hour or an hour
or two hours so I set it to turn off in like two hours and I turn the picture off and just listen to it
and it keeps my mind from going off and bizarre places and lets me fall asleep. Whereas if I'm
looking at the screen I'm, I probably won't fall asleep. What do we argue about most? Do we argue?
Like every couple we've occasionally argued about money but we figured out the answer to that is
separate accounts. But I mean we haven't done that in forever and then I mean but I mean other than that
we don't argue about really anything do I mean I can't recall the last time we had a really
bad argument we agreed not to talk about it every again so that's true. Yeah, I think we should move on.
Okay. Who wears the pants in their relationship? The listeners can't. I'm pointing to you.
I'm pointing to you. I'm pointing to you. Would you agree with that? So, you wear the skirt?
I don't think anyone's wearing a skirt. I just think you're more of the you're with more of the
the leader I would say. I don't. I wouldn't say leader I would say organizer. Yeah. I keep us
organized. Yeah, I'm more of a fly by the sea of the pants you're more very calculated. I couldn't
live that way. No, I think it tries to be crazy that I'm that way, doesn't it? Mm-hmm.
I just had to wait your fidget to it. I think you did but I can go grab the fidget spinner that's
right there. Yeah, when I think that's part of our personalities that balance each other out too.
Probably. But yeah, you're more of the organizer so where's I am more of a just show up and see what
happens? Yeah. Well, that makes life exciting. It's giving you odds. Do I have any weird
obsessions? I mean I think I have more weird obsessions now than I ever had in my life. It's
mainly because I just have a job that gives me the income to do weird things. You're obsessed with
your knick-knacks, your gadgets and stuff like that and that's fine. Like you said it's waves
up at accounts. You can do whatever you want with your money. So, it's I don't care. It makes you
happy and you have your little gadgets that you get from Amazon. Like right now you're really
in the flashlights. Yeah. So, and then you've always been in the magnets. Chargers. Chargers. Yeah.
Power lines. Do I have any weird obsessions? Sports. Yeah. That's just so weird so bizarre.
Okay. I can't imagine. Knick-knacks for each other. The name of the show. Pretty easy.
Let's go over that again for somebody who hasn't listened to the last 150 episodes.
Okay. Knick-knacks for each other. So, I call you bear. And you call me Kura. And I think bear
seems pretty obvious if you look at me. But Kura, nobody knows what that is. No. Explain it.
In fact, nobody knows how to pronounce it. No. Kura is the word for champion in Gaelic.
And you have a Notre Dame banner over there that says play like a champion today.
Mm-hmm. Yep. So that's why I named you Kura. Okay. Here we go. Very self-explanatory. I don't think so.
No, you're right. Yeah. It's not. Yeah. Cause you can have unless you're fluent in Gaelic.
Mm-hmm. But no, I've not loved in the game so. And they say couples that have nicknames for each other
do better. Yeah. That's good. If I'm watching TV, what are you watching? What am I watching? Sports. Sports.
When are you watching Star Trek? Star Trek. Yeah. And if it's Christmas time, the Christmas Carol?
Yes. Out of this year. I did not. No. Most years I watch every version of a Christmas Carol. I
get my hands on. Yeah. But this year I did not. You know much one. No. Really? Well, YouTube kept
trying to push him at me, but I didn't watch him. Okay. What drink do I order when we go out to eat?
Diet cola. You said that right. Mm-hmm. And whenever I ask for a diet cola at a restaurant,
they go, um, is Pepsi okay? Yeah. Pepsi or Pepsi product or Diet Coke products. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, yeah, I think there's a lot of people don't know what cola is. I mainly say that because I don't
care whether which products they have at that restaurant. I just want a cola. Yeah. Well, now they have
a diet, Dr. Pepper, stuff. I guess that's a cola a bit. Yeah. I don't. You don't eat with that
money. I'm very, very out of get it. No. I don't think I've ever seen you drink a diet, Dr. Pepper.
You ordered tea. Mm-hmm. Okay. What's a shoe do I wear? Um, based on your penis size, about
a 14? No. No. I'm very size 11. Mm-hmm. What's it? You wear 12, don't you? I have no idea. I have no
about shoes. I just put on shoes until I find one that fits. Yeah, this is 12. Okay. Okay. What is?
Is one talent I have? I don't know. That's a tough question. Mm-hmm. How about me?
That's sucking. See, I was going to go there. Um, I don't know, bear. You're good at a lot of things.
You're good at putting up with me. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It is quite a struggle. I'm sure. No. You have your
perks. I mean, you have your little quirks and I, my quirks. We're both pretty laid back. But as far
as a talent, you know, like something you would do on the stage, I don't think I have any. You're
good at computer, but you're next on computer program. That's a talent. I think that's an occupation
resident talent. If I wasn't paid to do it, I don't know that I would do it. Mm-hmm. At least not
any more. Yeah. I guess, everyone's in a while, like I wrote a program a while back that takes
whatever's on the clipboard and puts it on the screen and lets me save it to a file because I do
that so often and I couldn't find a program that did it exactly the way I wanted it. So, I wrote one.
I guess when I'm telling I have it, I can draw. Mm-hmm. Drawing scares, so. I can't draw flies.
What would I eat every day if I could? I would say it's for you, macaroni, and cheese. Yeah, probably,
although I haven't since the oldest published with my teeth. For you, um, a Nathan's heart dog.
Surprise you can say ice cream. Mm-hmm. I try to not think about that. Yeah. Okay. What is my
favorite type of music? You really don't, but you like yellowed on you. I know what that is, but I don't
think I've ever listened to any of their music. Mm-hmm. I thought you did for some reason. You're thinking
of Alan Parsons' part. Oh, that's okay. That's right. You're right. And everybody knows that the
music you listen to in your teenage years is the best music in the world and the rest of the music
is good. Mm-hmm. I agree with that. Um, usually listen to one of those boy bands that has the
young kids in it. Blink 182? Yeah. They're not young anymore. There are at my age, though.
But yeah, that's one of my favorite bands. I'm surprised you knew that. I know lots of things about
you. Okay. What's my favorite sports team then? I think there's only 49 of them.
Very good. And there's enough stuff in the house to figure it out. Yeah, you don't have any sports
teams, so that was easy. I guess. No, it was the answer. Yeah. What is my eye color? Brown.
My skin flows to the top. Yeah. Mine's brown. That's easy. Who is my best friend?
You don't have the best friend. Well, me. Uh, no, no. We're lovers. We've never been friends. We've
always been loved. Pretty much, yeah. Steve is probably the best friend. What did we call him?
I thought we had a name for him. Mm-hmm. Well, yeah, until he died. Until he died, yeah. Here's my best friend.
Um, either your boss or the bag head at the bar. Angela? Both women, yeah. Probably. You're right.
Where am I from? Which dog cleanses? Wrong. Huh? Wrong. Boston. Wrong. Texas. I was born in Fort Worth, Texas.
Oh, okay. So, I got the third, uh, I'm third trial. That's good. I'll bet you were born in New Jersey.
Very good. Yeah. What kind of cake would you bake me on my birthday? I have no idea. Whatever they have
at the bakery. Whatever's on sale. Whatever's on sale. Me and you are, but we're not cake eaters or not.
No, I guess not. I mean, it's okay, but I mean, it was last time we gave me a ball of cake.
I think we bought cupcakes for Christmas, and I was going to bring a moment. I forgot. I mean,
but yeah, I mean, neither one of us are really that big of cake fans. What sports do I play? You don't
play any sports? No, we just have a snow. Yeah. And your sports, um, I haven't, you were in crew, but
I haven't actually seen you play anything. Well, yeah, I don't any longer, but I used to play them all.
It's the baseball basketball football crew. Hmm. What can I spend hours doing? Picking your nose. I've
never, ever in my life picked my nose. If I could pick my nose, I would have picked a smaller one.
Hmm. What can you spend hours doing playing on your computer? Yeah. Yeah. Have I made watching sports?
Watching sports? Yes. So, there we are. We're pretty, uh, pretty boring. Any final thoughts?
Hmm. This wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. No, I thought it was going to be a little bit better.
Maybe that's why. Yeah. There's no really big question. There was no revelations in there, except for Fort Worth.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, maybe this would have been fun. Some of the fun if we did. 12 years ago. Yeah.
My first match or something like that. So, um, but we weren't doing a podcast then, so.
Hmm. Hmm. Okay. You got a joke for me this week? Yes. What happens if a red head tops you?
I don't even want to know what you get gingerbread. Oh my god. That's cute. That is funny. All right.
