No, this is sad, Katie.

This is very sad.

For the past, this is why I have a low threshold of joy of late.

Is that...

What'd you take it?

What is that?

A vitamin C?

Yup.

The question posed to me is, are you gonna be mad if I take a pain pill?

I've never been more happy.

But...

It's not for...

It's not for my finger.

And it's not for my face.

Oh, did you hear that tape?

Oh!

That's...

We're making a mousetrap car.

That sounds like clear packing tape.

It is.

Yeah, we're recording.

So, yeah, my son is in the room with us.

Who's good?

You're very good.

But...

I have a low threshold for pain, and I have to really credit the sentiment to recent inductee

into the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Captain Steve Bridges, who said once on Facebook,

it's not fair to have gray hair and zits on the same day.

Oh!

See, that's why I was apologizing, because my face is from all of the...

All of the medication and stuff.

The antibiotic...

Everything.

My face is just...

Oh! See, that's why I was apologizing, because my face is from all of the... All of the medication and stuff. The antibiotic... Everything. My face is just... I got the rosacea. Yeah. I have... I have the spots. But... Well, that's okay. If you were... Poor Steve Bridges. I don't have to get up on a stage. I know. But here's the thing. That does seem like insult to injury. This was a long time ago that he said it, and I'm dealing with it this week, because what I have is I can feel in my nose a zits coming. I know it sounds like a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Oh, you don't mean inside your nostril. You mean... Yes. Is it one of those where there's a tingle, and you can't quite locate it? Yes. Yes. And you know what? When you watch all the... When you go and you do the... What do you call the... What's sex ed called now, Robert? It's got a different name. FLE. FLE. Family Life Education. Is that it? Yeah. Or Franklin Jell-O or something? Family Life Education. And they don't tell... You know, they tell you about what causes zits and how to avoid them and how acne is normal and all that. They never tell you they hurt. It never comes up. But I got something like Pompeii going on right at the bottom of my left nostril. Look out, Roman! Yeah. It's going to bury a city. Either that or look like a Peter North movie. Something is bad. Something bad is coming. You'll excuse the phrase. But here's the deal. Cosmetically, and you can tell through our high-def video connection, Katie, cosmetically, I'm beautiful. I can't see a darn thing. You look perfectly fine. Gorgeous. Really. Trimmed my beard in the whole deal. What would I dare say? Delightful. Thank you. You're glowing. Yes! Shaved my head yesterday. And I've said it before and I'll say it again. It is so easy to put on a hoodie the day you shave your head. There is no friction. But the day after, you don't have to worry about it slipping off. That's true. That's true. You can put on your hood. You actually put the hood on and it stays put like Velcro. Different kind of silver lining. Well, I'm going to get my... That was good! I'm going to get my nose lined with silver or something. Cos just like they use it, Shrimp boots are coming! Coming! Gonna have a good time tonight. Shrimp boots are coming! Well, you know what's coming? A zit on my nose. I have to tell you, I don't know this song. But you should... I can... You're doing the chair dance. You said you have to go pee. I do. And then we can start the program. Yes. I was actually... I don't know that there ever really was a song called Shrimp Boats Are Coming. I've never heard that song. I do know there's a Kevin Meany routine where he talks about imported New York cheesecake. And he sings, Cheesecakes are coming! We'll party tonight! We're going down to the docks. The cheesecake boats are here! Am I too loud? As a rule, yes. But on the recording, no. Okay. You're fine. Oh, doing some blow? Okay, Rob. I've got a few things that I need to talk about today. It's the go-go 80s. I'm pretty... I am... I am mad. I understand. At Dan. The Dan? The Dan. I'm mad at the Dan. Also, as you know, I guess this is technically our pre-show. Robert is joining us because he's building a mousetrap car. Yes. Apparently, we'll get him to school in no time at all. I've never heard of a mousetrap car. I've heard of the Soapbox Derby, and then I've heard of... We've done that. No, we didn't. You know what we did? We did... The balsa wood cars. Those are... What are they called, Robert? The little cars that you would drop and go? The... I don't know if they're called, but it's like a Pinewood Derby. Pinewood Derby. Pinewood Derby. Yes. Mm-hmm. We did that. He came in... Is that not what I said? You said Soapbox. Oh. Is that... That's not right, is it? The Soapbox Derby is where I stand up in front of a crowd and express all of my opinions. And then people see... Then there's a race. And then there's a race. And then they say, don't listen to him. In three days, he's going to have a zit on his nose. And then they turn the horses. They let him go. And then everyone has mint juleps. Uh-huh. You know what I need to go see? There's going to be hats. Oh, there will be hats. I need to go to a dermatologist that has the shining. And he'll say, you're going to have a zit. Rob. Katie. Red rum. You need that to make the juleps. All right, let's start the show. Mike O'Mara, Radio Entertainment. Yes? What's the best way to put the whole thing? Uh, I would use this screwdriver on the Phillips head side. We were about to start the show, but Robert just had a question. Did we already mention he's building a car? Yeah. Okay. With CD wheels. Yes. And it's not a pine box or a pine derby. Soap box or any kind of box. Soap box. It's not a soap box. No, no, no. It is what is indeed known as the mousetrap car. Oh, when I was in the hospital on Friday. This is a teaser. I protested. Like at the ladies' march that you went to? Did you have a sign? So, no, I didn't have a sign. I didn't have any arms to hold it up. Okay. Well, hold it. Let's start the show. We got so close. We really did. We got some of dude on the air. Mess. Okay. Here we go. Mike O'Mara. Radio Entertainment. Glad we got all of dude there. It was a dude accompli. Oh, more dude. Cake and cookies. Rob and Katie. It's the Rob and Katie show. Buenos noches. Hi. And hello. Welcome to Cake and cookies. Why noches? It's afternoon. Well, some people will be listening in the evening. Well, let's just say buenos dias. Buenos noches. To all. For whatever you're listening. I try one moment to be international. All of a sudden, I'm a criminal. Muchas gracias. Thank you. De nada. I took French. How am I doing with the Spanish, Robert? He's so focused on his car. He's putting wheels on it and whatnot. CD wheels. And we should be clear. CDs. I know. I know you were going there and you changed your mind. I went there for you. Let us be clear. Not S-E-E-D-Y. These are not CD wheels. Like from a suspect part of town. Like from the shady part of town. Yeah. The other side of the tracks, which Savannah literally has. We do. I know. So these are compact disc wheels. I honestly feel like that's a thing. Every established city has another side of the tracks. Yeah. Well, they're train tracks. Yes. We're not talking about like drug tracks. No, no. And I was thinking like animal tracks. I'm saying things that I don't even know what it means. Well, the pain pill's kicking in. That's what's happening. No, no, not yet. I'll let you know. Thank you. Actually, you'll probably be able to tell. You know what? A lot of times I can tell before you tell me it's happening. And when you said that the first thing that came into your mind when I said the other side of the tracks were the tracks on a heroin dealer's arm, I think that maybe if the pain pill is not in the house, it's knocking on the door. Well, I just took it maybe 10 minutes ago. But you have that hummingbird-like metabolism. Okay, so can I have some more chocolate? Yes, you can. And I'll do the reset. This is Cake and Cookies, a semi-annual podcast in which two friends from way back get together and talk about things and prove to you that in comparison- Way back. Way back. Wait. Wait. Wait. From way, way back, discuss things. And in comparison, you figure out your life isn't all that bad. You know, I still don't like chocolate. You see, Robert doesn't like chocolate either. Mm-mm. Robert, are you still anti-chocolate? Yeah. Yeah. That was sort of defeated sounding. Just again, if you're just joining us, if you turned on your podcast radio and you're just hearing us, didn't hear the setup. Your podcast machine. Robert is in the studio with me building a car that is powered by a mousetrap, a Victor-styled mousetrap. Mm-hmm. And so you will hear him occasionally stick his head in. Katie is in the Savannah Studios of the Katie Radio World Broadcast Headquarters. And me, I'm in my business. The BeaglePlex. The BeaglePlex. Precisely. I should have said it right. Geez, Rob. Well, it's been a while since we've done a full set, you know. You haven't been here to visit in a year. I know. Not for any lack of desire, mind you. I know. I think you need to. I really think that the Spewax need to visit before May. Now, when is she going to be there? No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm staying in the guest house. I'm May. The weather is just absolutely perfect. And everything is in bloom and beautiful. And that's what I think. It sounds marvelous. It's horrible here. This week we had 70 degrees. We had snow. We had snow squalls. And now it's rainy and a little too warm. You know what I hate? I don't... So you've had pretty much winter, spring, summer, and fall all in one week. That's right. And there was a character. That's right. There was a character. Oh, I maxed out on my volume. There was a character on the Howdy Doody program. And I believe it was Princess Summerfall Winter Spring. So there you go. I don't know. Rob... I was going more along the lines of winter, spring, summer, or fall. All you got to do is call. See? And that's what we're doing right now. Because I'll be here. Yes, I will. You've got a friend. Oh, I'm going to... No, you're going to... I am an emotional man. I have really... I've been toying with you. I made you pee while the mics were off. That's true. I laughed really hard. I said something really inappropriate. I mean, bad. Yes, I did. You made... You made a sound. No, you have to. And I said something... I won't even... No. Yeah, and you know, sometimes Oscar and I talk about stuff that we can't do on the radio that we could do, say, 10 years ago. This wouldn't have been okay 10 years ago either. So... It wouldn't have been good. No, bad. Bad, Rob. That's why we... That's why you can... Shame on you. That's why you can... You know better. You can turn a microphone off and turn it back on again. Don't turn your microphone off. It defeats the purpose. I know. It's Skyping. We'd have to yell so loud. So do me a favor before we get started. Actually, I guess we have started. Can you hold up for me your left hand? Hold up your left hand. It's still got something on it. What's on your... Yeah. What's on your ring finger? I went to the doctor noon on Friday. I said, doctor!
