And then I'm trimming.

What?

The fuzz.

Oh, I see.

Man, if Dan saw me doing this, he'd probably float.

Do you know how many thousands of dollars we put into that finger?

Don't rip it off again.

Well, you're just trimming the fuzz.

It's okay.

It's all good.

I didn't wrap it as well as I could have.

Right before I started to go out to brunch, I reached for my purse and I had just rewrapped

it and the whole thing just flew off.

Oh, like a sleeve.

Oh, no.

Like taking a Twinkie out of a wrapper.

Yeah, I didn't. Yes, my Twinkie finger. My Twinkie finger. Like, I'm going to have to rewrap that. Yes, you are. Be funny, okay? Come on. I'm fine. All right. Mike O'Mara, Radio Entertainment. Cake and cookies. Rob and Katie. It's the Rob and Katie Show. I hate my desk. Well, you're still trying to get it put back together from your technical difficulties. Listen, I spoke to all the king's horses and all the king's men and none of them could put my desk back together again. It's a pain in the butt. It is and we'll discuss it later. Okay. How's the finger? It's fine. How's your Twinkie finger? My Twinkie finger? It looks like a little Vienna sausage now. Yeah. It really, you know what? It doesn't show. It looks normal. You can't tell? No, you can't. Not at all. Perfect. Looks great. This is Cake and Cookies, a semi-annual podcast done to prove that your life in comparison isn't that bad. I'm Cake. I'm Cookie. And we'd like to thank Mike O'Mara and Oscar Santana and Matt Bloom and everyone involved in making this show happen. Yes. But mostly we thank you, the listener. The very patient listener. Yes. Who's not above putting passive-aggressive notes on Facebook, like... Passive-aggressive? Well, there's some of that. I think you can leave out the word passive. Well, some of them are passive-aggressive. I've blocked a couple people in the past week. Have you really? I really have. I did some major Facebook surgery last night. Did you know that if people drop off Facebook, they remain your friend and they hold a friend spot, even if they're not there anymore? I don't understand what you mean. Like, if you were to grow bitter and close out your Facebook account and just say, delete this account, I'm done. I'm not doing Facebook anymore. Mm-hmm. Your people that you are friends with, you're still in their friend... The number states the same. So you have to go through and find all the people that are just in silhouette and delete them. I freed up 180 slots last night. Holy cow! Mm-hmm. And added 100 people this morning. I didn't know that was even a thing you could do. Dude, you can do it. I mean... No, I mean... Rob, that's a lot of scrolling, I feel. Well, yeah, but I mean, I was watching TV at the same time. Okay. Did you do this on your phone? No, at my desktop. Okay, I was going to say, no wonder you have to wear the glasses. I know. I think we all know why I'm losing my vision. But that's not... Hold up your hands. Let me see your palms. Clean as a whistle. Okay. Great. But anyway, so that's what I did on Facebook. So if you've been added to the... As I have said, I like to compare my Facebook wall to a party. And I invite you to the party. And if you bring a bad energy or something to the party that I don't like, I'm going to remove you. I'm going to ask you to leave. Yeah. So anyway, here we are. It's Sunday. And you all know what that means. No. Yes. Don't go to Costco on Sunday before Thanksgiving. And Carrie went to Costco today. Rookie mistake. Oh, yeah. You know what I was? I was a rube. I know better than that. I like to go to Costco Tuesdays at 1 p.m. When there's tumbleweeds and nothing going on. That's... I have that... Yeah. Deedleedleedlee. Wah, wah, wah. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, because as you know, I'm basically neighbors with Costco. If I were to go out and buy a quart of milk, the closest place for me to buy milk is Costco. 7-Eleven is so much further away, which therefore makes it an inconvenient store. Just for you, though. Just for me. And really, isn't that what it's all about? So that's why I went to Costco today. And I came back. Hey, can we talk about technical difficulties before we get to medical problems? Sure. All right. Even though you may not agree with me after hearing of what we do here, I have a fully functioning studio in my basement. Right? Yes, you do. That's one of the things I have. I'm very proud of it. I love it. What? Right now, do you have a fully functioning event? I had a fully functioning studio in my basement. Built it three and a half, four years ago. Built it for a music radio show. It's nothing fancy. But it's very, very adequate. There was two CD players, an input for iPads, a mixing board, some nice speakers. Two inputs for iPads. Two iPads. Yes. Nice speakers. Studio quality speakers. A compressor. And, of course, the recording unit, which is my computer. You even have a boom mic. Wait, did you see it? I know. Well, a microphone, of course. And so then I got all my equipment and I got these rack rails. Now, have you ever seen like a, and I'm showing these to Katie now because likely she's the only one who will ever hear this. Have you ever seen like a- You're not even recording, are you, Rob? No, there's no electricity in my home. If you like see at a concert venue or someone who's doing a tour, they have those big crates. And when they take the face off, the equipment's all mounted in there on rack rails. They screw in. So you can stack them without actually stacking them. And so I had everything mounted. Well, and that's like any sort of professional audio equipment that you see instead of just being like a standalone. Right. Pretty on the sides or whatever. It actually has a rack on the front for going into those racks. So it stays there. And then you screw them in. Stays there. Safe. Solid. Baby. So I had everything all set up for years. And then I got this music radio show on 97 One The Wave. And that started in the beginning of October. And up until then, really, the only time I was using the CD players was to do this show. And there was the CDs just stayed in the CD player. Because I never. Like the start music and then. The closing music. Whatever else we would need. And it was great because. Two sided. Yeah, there's two discs, two drawers. Two drawers. Right. And it was great because I didn't even have to have a CD box. My CD box was actually my CD player because the CDs just lived in there. It was like a big $400 solid state CD box that held two discs. And it was great. Well, come about the beginning of October, I start having to use the drawers again. Because, you know, discs are coming in, discs are coming out. And it's not. Is it the music show? Yes. It's not the highest quality CD player. It's a Stanton. A what? It's a Stanton. It's the brand of it. I know. You're making a yikes face because you've never heard of it. No, I haven't. But it's considerably cheaper than what I would call a fully functioning CD player. And it worked for a while. But about October 8th, I would say. I mean, as long as, I mean, when it comes to something like a CD player and you're just using with the input and output, it's all the same. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I still feel that the laser optic and the audio reproduction of it is fine. There were some mechanical issues, though, because about October 8th on CD2, that's the drawer on the right. When I'd hit the button, it would go. Does that mean that the drawer on the left is CDA? CD1. Oh, of course. Don't. All this technical talk, all this radio tech jargon, you're going to alienate everybody. Am I? Yes. Am I? That's what I'm doing? Yeah, look at them. They all have sour pusses. They're not happening. All this A and 2 and whatnot. So used to be when you bought it and CD1 to the same, to this day, if you hit the open button, it goes, and it opens, put the CD in, it closes fine. Well, CD2, starting in early October, when you'd hit the button, it would go. And then it would say drawer failure. Oh. And so I said, well, all it needs is a little help. So I just sort of wiggled it around a little bit. You know, I'm thinking it's off track. And so if I allowed a good five minutes or so, I could get the drawer open, put the CD in, close it, and there it would be. Well, towards the end of October, what happened? Ah, a little cold beverage. A little frosty cold beverage. And a koozie. That'll keep it cold and keep your hand warm. This is from the second girl's trip. They had koozies made, and it says, no one likes a shady beach. St. Simons 2016. Here's to you and cheers. Cheers. Clank. So then it got to a point where it wasn't opening at all. So I used a screwdriver, and I couldn't get it open. Was it plugged in while you're sticking a metal screwdriver into the electronic device? The screwdriver, well, of course, because it has to open. It won't open. If there's no electricity, the drawer is never going to open. Okay. But there's also a plastic handle on the screwdriver. See, look. Oh, okay. So you felt perfectly safe. I was insulated. If I was dicking around, excuse me, if I was messing around. Yes, m'lady. The screwdriver and a CD player, you would never let me hear the end of it. What makes you think you're so much better than me? I was drinking. Oh, Mr. Ballsy. Yeah. He got bold. And so one screwdriver didn't do it. What were you drinking? What every great sound technician drinks. Cheap red wine. Okay. It's part of my toolbox. The real big bottle. Costco, Woodbridge. Nice. Costco bottle. Remember, you can't get hung over if you stay drunk. So one screwdriver didn't open it, so I got two, and I sort of like ice tongs on either side of the drawer. Why didn't you just get iced? Oh, on either side. Oh, my God. Rob. I know. And then guess what happens? The drawer doesn't open, but the face plate falls off. The whole thing fell off? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Rob. I know. And so then I said, well, this has got to do something. So I hit open, and it went, drawer error. And so I hit it. Does it still have a CD ins
