Jo & Morgan

0:00 Good morning, good afternoon, good one am. It's hailing out and you go outside to make sure the horses are okay, but then you think you see a bear and go running back inside screaming. We are anxiety atic spaddime stories. I'm Joe, I'm Morgan. Joe. Wait. Pause. We haven't done this in two weeks because I've been gone, but you said a few things that freaked me out. A hail, but be the horses. The horses are back. The horses are back. And we had a terrible combination of it getting rainy and then they got wet. And you can't put a blanket on once they get wet because it can actually give them chills faster and it's terrible for their skin. But then it got really cold after it got really wet, and then they don't like going in the barn, and I don't know life, so the mom and me worried about them. At one o'clock in the morning, I went out with a flashlight that did nothing like this. It looks like this big, It looks like such a powerful ap splash light, and like it looks like something that would be so intimidated and then is ineffectual, like politicians.

1:07 Wait a second, So we got Nook bear lady and the plank and yellow hair yeah oh and yellow hair yeah yeah. Well, I'm so happy for you. I know it totally changes your whole, I don't know, way of doing things, but also your happiness when you actually have your horses back. Yeah, it's totally true. It changes kind of like my day to day existence. But it also makes me happier than anything. It makes me so happy. Well, if they listened as well as the horses, we would have a different conversation. It would be different. So, well, Joe, I missed you.

1:47 I've been gone. I've been gone for two weeks and Joe a week before that was was gone for two weeks two. So we feel that we've done this probably once in the last month and I missed it. I know it's too bad. We should we should just do this, even when we're running around and not. Doing we should just we shoul should FaceTime and record ourselves. We should. So Morgan and I love this idea. Every week that we put Google alerts out on ourselves and we tell you what the other Morgan Walshes and Joe Newman's are doing. And Morgan I'm gonna go first. Goay. So I think I've told you guys this, but so I put this Google alert on myself when I was acting, and I just wanted to know if you know, Steven Spielberg had been looking for me in the like four hours that I'd been sleeping in the.

2:34 Middle of the afternoon on a Tuesday. Because I was a real productive time in my life. He never was. The Google alert never. Was affiliated with Steven Spielberg. The Google alert never produced anything productive. But what it does is I usually get obituaries and death notices for anybody with Joe Newman anywhere in their name, but I just did. With everything that's going on in the world, nobody wanted to hear that. So here is the Joe Newman I'd like to share with you today, Marcie. Ready, Yes, I. Feel like I have to put this on our chat because I want you to be able to see this Joe Newman. And then I'm slightly worried that you'd rather be friends with her than me, But I'm just gonna I'm gonna burp.

3:20 Oh, I'm not gonna burp. Am I She liked to stay home and just chat on the couch drinking a glass of wine. Maybe is she. Like seventy years old? Because these are all these are? Is she in a gooraphobic tea drinking seventy year old? No, she's not. But are you ready for that action? I did not say tea drinking. I said wine drinking. Oh I'm sorry. I think I feel like she would. I feel like this Joe Newman would. Okay, Okay, I did. Okay, So she it's on the chat. So she is Joe Newman. She has four job descriptions on her Facebook page. First of all, she looks very fun and I would sit on a couch and drink tea with her or wine or maybe she's from Australia. Maybe they mixed tea and wine there. Anyway, so she's got four job descriptions.

4:13 Are you ready? Yes? Okay. She is a educator. Love that for her. She is an author, Love that for her as well. She is two other things that I'm going to put you on the spot, and you have to say with the differences, because I don't know. She is a psychic okay, and a medium. Okay. I don't know this is coming out on. My butt, but I think that a psychic is somebody who can help somebody figure out like their path for the future. And I think a medium talks with dead people. Oh I think are you looking at right now? Yeah?

4:56 I am looking it up. So medium is like Whoopy Goldberg and ghost. Yeah. Or there was a whole show called Medium with Arquette. Wait was that the long Oh yes there was that. I never watched that show. Yeah, I think I. Did because it was like one of the things on Sky in Italy fifteen years ago. The sister the Arquette sister. Patricia patriciaulous actress. Okay, yeah, here and that it's called medium, And I think you can talk to dead people. And I think a. Psychic is somebody who can like possibly also get things from dead people, but can also I don't know, if somebody's missing but not dead, can also like say.

5:38 I'm wait ready, like wait, okay, tell me I was right? All right. So here's what AI says. But here's what's funny is to remember I thought you were going to Google. Oh my god, AI took over Google. Google's gonna go down to I'd be like google it, and You're like, no, I just ask it. Well google it? Well, you google it and an AI overview comes up. So you know how when you were in I don't know. I don't want to see geometry because I definitely didn't go very far in high school math. But remember when it was like you had those word problems and it goes all bandoggles are boondocks, but not all I remember. Being a simpler word. It's a simpler there's a simpler one.

6:18 All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles or squares. Yes, but but that makes sense. This one is like much more jumbled. Okay, yes, okay, ready, yeah. A psychic is generally someone who possesses psychic abilities like clairvoyance, seeing beyond the physical. Rep Claire Sentience, feeling that. How's that for a new SAT word? Claire sentience feeling. You missed me at the first one, Claire clairvoyance. I think clairvoyant and psychic are the same thing, but maybe not. I don't want to offend any psychics with this, especially since there. Are the abilities, okay, abilities.

7:00 To really piss my my sense of being out the window. Okay, Claire sentience feeling energies and emotions. I'm that I feel energies and emotions. Is this a job? I need a new job. Okay, do you have paid for it? Clearly? And I just keep on thinking of Woopy Goldberg and ghosts. Okay, Morgan, this third one, is you ready? Yes, Claire Audience, that's hearing voices. I have a tattoo that says my back in Japanese. You have no idea what that things? Well, now it's what is it? I don't remember, Claire Boardiance.

7:44 Okay, So Claire Buoyance is seeing That's. What my tattoo says. That's what I'm want to start telling people. Yeah, you just have to remember the word. I'm going to tattoo. Continue Okay. So Claire Boyance is seeing Claire Sentiences feeling, and Claire Audience is hearing voices. This is like a great vocabulary I think today. I think that a if that was me looking it up, I wouldn't have been able to read any of those words numb one. Number two. I feel like Google is way more helpful because you need like a dumbed down version because that didn't make any sense. What we wanted to hear is I'm not a psychic. Okay, continue, Okay.

8:29 A medium, on the other hand, is a psychic who specifically focuses on communicating with spirits or the afterlife. So I was kind of yeah, and you were totally. You were really on it, often using their psychic abilities to facilitate such communication. Wait, I want to read you the last lide in essence. Are you ready? Yeah? Are you excited? Am I right? Are you excited? I am? I'm excited to hear the suspense is killing. Me all right? Ready? In essence, a medium is a type of psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. It's a square.

9:10 The squadium is the square and the psychic and psychic. Yeah, Joe, I have this single life figgered out. You do use If you have any life questions, just email info at anxiety attics dot com and ask Morgan. Are you drinking a Starbucks? I am so trying to pour it out in microwave it and put it back in. But here, I am. I want to target this morning. It was very exciting. Okay. I want to keep on telling you about this, Joe Newman, And then I want to hear about your Morgan Walsh. She's in Australia. You can book her online. She posts a lot of inspirational quotes. I think she likes owls, which I feel like if you're connected to owls, that says that you have kind of an otherworldly presence.

9:52 I like owls. Okay, And then I'm going to leave you with So if you would like to book Joe Newman, I think you just go on her Facebook page and look up Joe Newman psychic medium, author, educator. Okay, can we get her on? I mean yes, like you wanted to already do. A dog psychic do you remember, Like so many people, I got. Down, I want to do the dog. I want to do the dog. I think I should also do it, just as long as I'm saying this is the cutest dog ever. I'm not going to show you the bed because I'm in the guest room and like we use our guest room as like an extra closet. I won no, it's saying, okay, all right, So I'm going to leave you with one of her posts.

10:38 This is from April fifteenth. She posted this at five oh six am, but I don't know if that's five oh six am my time or Australia time. And when she says, she says, when you feel off, turn your body on, walk, run, lift train, when you overthink, turn your body off, sit, breathe, journal, meditate. Your body isn't just a home, it's a vehicle. Use it to change yourself physically and mentally. I love that when you said turn your body on, I'm like, oh my god, she's some vibrators too. Oh my god. Wouldn't that be amazing if you went to a psychic and you were like, just tell me, like go into my body and just like tell me help me pick out a vibrator.

11:24 I have a crazy story, but I'm gonna save it for another time. Wait a second, I just come up with another story that you might be able to write about and vibrators. You know, it's about vibrators, like a vibrator, Like there was a point in California when I was living there. The story has to do with our dear friend Aaron Scanlon, who we love. That like bachelor parties or some sort of parties, like one of those things that you get a lot of girls around for. It could have even just been like a friend was selling something and so they had like a party for them, like an avion person or whatever they. Used to that used to be a thing like vibrator parties. Yeah, and so we had parties. Yeaheah, that's what it was.

12:12 That's what it was, and it was really fun. Like it's not like they. Gave you a vibrator to go try out in case you liked it. But they're they're not. Jet tho like like one time use ones. But this could be a funny story. Okay, we can talk about this later. All right, We're gonna go into me really quick. Although Joe, there's so many better Joe Newman's. I do have to say something about Morgan Walsh's. I set up Joe had me set up notifications. I definitely don't get as many notifications as her. But the two that I have gotten, which our obituaries are for like really, i'm gonna cut this part out, but they were really young.

12:56 One was twenty four, one was thirty two. Oh that's awful, mind like one hundred and seventeen. Yeah, which is fucking fabulous, Like talk about them and bring them back. But I'm like, oh. Wait, can I tell you why I think that is? Because I have a real thought, because first of all, mine are like Mary, Joe, Betty Joe, Donna, Joe, and those are old people names, and Morgan just came out like your mom was Ura and dad were super ahead of the curve because Morgan, like I know, it must have had a huge resurgence twenty five years. Ago, because that's that's all the. Morgans are that age now, Like I know, like IM. For Morgans now, but you didn't know them back then. I'm well, I know three or four. You're such an original because I know three or four. You know twenty three to twenty five year old Morgans here.

13:43 Yeah, And I like, out of our town, I didn't know. When I moved to Boston, I knew a few more Morgans, some men, some women. I always try to explain Italians think a Morgan is a male name because a Morgan Freeman or whatever. But uh, yeah, yeah, I had one of those names that was not like crazy. If you heard my name, people would be like, oh, that's such a strange name, but it would It wasn't that there was a ton of people named no unique. Yeah, but well it's definitely unique. Here people cannot say my name. Italians don't like words or names that end in a consonant. It needs to end in a vowel. So for me, I'm usually Morga and Alex gets annoyed because Alex Alexander, my youngest son.

14:27 They call him ale which is Alex, which is. Which is cute. Morga is where you put dead people. It sounds like olga. I think I said this on our last thing, but my we were just in Japan. I will be sending uh doing pictures of anxiety attics in Japan. But my husband had to like book all these things on the Japanese website, and he finally saw what his name was like in Japanese because like he couldn't write words, he had do this stuff. And I think I've told you this before. We found out his name in English is Hubert Umberto, which is like a typical I would say, like South American and Italian Spanish.

15:15 Like, it's not that typical here either. It's more like like an eleanor like it's more of like an Albert, like an older name, but still normal. But I go, oh, my god, Hubert. If I met you and your name was Hubert, I'm so sorry, sweetheart. I don't think we would have ever happened. I would have called Maje Okay, sorry, So. This Morgan Walsh, I'm not doing the notification ones. Yet this one Joe found for me, and she is a very accomplished actress in I don't know she's in Los Angeles or New York. I'm assuming one of the two.

15:56 But Joe had told me Morgan, this is for you because you sound amazing and Veep is the only thing I've seen. But Veep is very, very funny. Yeah, I think I would just like to throw it out there for and it's ten years old, but for anyone who hasn't listened to it or watched it, I think that Veep is one of the, if not like, the best written show of the past twenty years. And it's an even better character for Julia Louis Dreyfus than Elaine was on some Seinfeld. It is that good. I remember you said that, Yeah, so deep. I haven't watched them all, but after you told me that about Julian yeah lost Dreyfus, Yes, but I didn't want to bring up her husband because what you said about her husband, you said he's probably one of the funniest people in Hollywood to date.

16:42 But I wanted to give fund of credit. Yeah, why don't I know him? He founded the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater with Amy Poehler, so he was very very much in the La comedy improv scene and then. They he was never on SNL or anything. He might have been on Essenal and me like, come up. Anyways, I don't want to give him any credit because I love Morgan Walsh. She is a blonde bombshell who also happens to be hilarious. And I also saw. That she was. She's been married to Matt since two thousand and nine, which is really fucking funny because my brother's name's Matt Walsh and my name's Warrian Walsh, and the fact that they're.

17:23 Married is funny. Oh my god, I creep you out just a little bit. Well, it's just odd, Like, Joe, have you, like ever dated anybody that had your same name or your sister's name or something. I have dated a Joe. I don't have dated a Dale, which is my mom's name. Oh, that's dated a Billy, which is my dad's name. And I've never dated a Leo, which is my sister's name. Yeah, but nobody calls your dad Billy. No. But if it's I mean, it's still part of the conversation. Yeah, that's true. Anyway, she's like a blonde bombshell. I love her. She's adorable. I don't like the word adorable.

18:07 She's a blonde bombshell. She's very beautiful. And yeah, somebody else who's living I don't know, probably a more interesting life than me. I hope I find a loser one day and I'm like, ha, I got one up on you. So far. My Morgan Walshes are awesome. She was on Games People Play. Yeah, so I've never heard of that. I have. It's on my like go watch it list. All right, I'm gonna move it up on my go watch it list. I keep next to my. Bed because how many episodes? She did six episodes, but this is in twenty nineteen, but people, I don't know how many seasons that they got, but people said really good things about it.

18:56 So she's known for Under the Eiffel Tower Wet Hot American Summer. Ten years later. I loved, loved, loved both of those movies. What under the Eiffel Tower and What Hot American Summer? No, there was two wet, hot American summers and I it's David Wayne and Paul Redd and it's so fun. Oh, they did they turn it into TV show that I didn't even turned into a TV show. I didn't even watch it. I never even heard of the movie. I never even heard of the movie. Oh, it's like Hen Marino, Paul Rett, you you would, morgane Garofolos and Amy Pohlars and it's you should absolutely watch it with a Barato.

19:39 Embarto. May or may not get it because it's very much like American Summer Camp. But it's really funny. Okay, I a Paul Rudd. You sold me? Why do I love Paul Rudd? Oh? You know what you should watch with Embarito. You should watch The Shrink next Door? Oh? Why did I? It's like a miss like he you listen to the podcast? No, but I think I watched the Like the beginning of the show, it's like this man who's creepy and a young girl goes in. No. No, it's about a guy who's kind of losing a ship played by Will Ferrell in I Guess the Seven Indies in New York and he goes in to meet a therapist.

20:20 At his sister's insistance. And his sister is played by Catherine Han and I just love her. I know, I didn't so talented. I'm looking it up now. I didn't see this. I think I'm thinking of like some lifetime thing that I watch in the summers that it's like my door. Yeah, you should watch you guys would have been like you guys would it does end up in chaos. And I listened to the I listened to the podcast and it is written and recorded and reported and it's the first person storytelling by Joe no Sarah who lived around the corner for me growing up. Oh wait, was that Kate no Sarah's brother father. That's oh father, Oh that's so funny. Yeah, and he writes for Bloomberg. But it's it's I.

21:03 Uh. We started the first episode, watch a second anyway. I listened to it, and I was like, did I know where this is going? And he's like not, because you're brilliant, because you already listened to the story, Like shut up, You're. Like, thanks, thanks, thanks. Anyway, guys, we are going to take a break for some news stories after I think we'll do another two weeks and then we're going to continue on with our bs all summer while we collect, edit, write, produce more stories. We're going to put a bunch of stuff up on our YouTube channel in case you want to look at one of us as. You're going to sleep, which very few people do. But you never know that the internet there sort of a market for everything. I told Joe if she lets me show my feet, maybe more people would tune in.

21:45 And I told her that's not a joke, and it's true. So if she's willing to do it, she should step it up and get a pedicure. I haven't got one of those in a long time. She's laughing because she thinks it's a joke, but it's real. Like if Romona, if Morgan would start in only fans with her feet, we would be much more successful. Although you haven't seen her feet. Isn't that where the clear I always put, I have really fucking nice feet, Joe, Like, I don't have bunians. On my feet. My feet are awful. Yeah, I have good feet, but you've always told me my feet are ugly, but they're not. I have really good arched feet. You do have a good arched feet. You have long toes. I have long feet. I wear a size a large size.

22:25 So any of you out there who really likes big feet to. Modan you're saying that, but there are those people. What if I make us a million dollars Joe off of your long toes. Wait, I don't know that long. I'm not really a foot person, to be honest with you. She's showing them to me right now. I don't want to look. It's not really my thing. Okay, I'm gonna go get a petticure. Like I am the last person who's gonna go spend money on feet picks. But anyway, I told her, if you guys, I told her, if she wants to show her feet, anxiety addicts would be in a different bracket. My dog, My dog just looked up his head and looked at me. Don't wried lela me. Oh she's covered.

23:08 Oh my god, she just took her pawt. What like this? I'm not joking. I wish I got that on Kim. She doesn't like your feet, you are, No, she loves the feet. Wait, I'm gonna show you the room for a minute, just because look how cute she is. She is a very cute. Good thing. I'm gonna show my feet and we're gonna make money and I'll buy you. Balls and those not those kind of balls. Leila, that's okay, she's not interested. So please send us your stories. It doesn't have to be the craziest thing that ever happened to you, although we love those two, but send us embarrassing, silly, heartwarming stories about your family or school, or the first or last time something happened, or a mistake or an accident, or a really good decision. We like those two, but you send them in. You can send us three sentences a pair. You can send us one picture that you think describes everything. We don't really care, and then we run with it and we turn it into a fifteen to twenty minute Fredtime story, making up all of the identifying characteristics so nobody will trace it back to you.

24:13 Unless, like you're wanted for murder, and then. We'll trace it back to you because we listen to too much true crime. So please give us five stars. Share it with your friends, your neighbors, the and who you don't speak to anymore. You know, we're really not that picky. And if no one's told you today, we love you. We love you so much.
