I've had that dropped glass moment too...just falls out of my suddenly non responsive fingers...always right after I tell myself Don't drop it!
I think my brain only hears the last part of the warning...and then my body does exactly what I did NOT want it to do!
Maybe look up at the ceiling over your bed...I bet he is crouching there ( or in corner) just waiting til you fall asleep to crawl into your mouth...(* dun dun dunnnn* scary music).
I seem to notice sometimes, a spider hanging out in a corner of the bedroom, just as I want to go to sleep! I do the glass paper thing too( on a stepladder cuz I am not as tall as you) ...and out they go into the dark...which they hate. Too bad for them! They are not paying rent.
I recall a classic Charlie Brown cartoon where (I think) Lucy was afraid to put on her baseball glove at the beginning of the season because she was afraid that bugs had crawled into it over the winter. Naturally, hilarity ensued.
Interesting that you were able to give an 81% chance you'd have the next RVR up early next week. When I heard you say that it reminded me that 86.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Of course, that's only because 5 out of 4 people have trouble with fractions. Enjoy your weekend.
Mum of 4 here (now "grown"). Best thing for picking up those invisible pieces of glass is a wet paper towel. Rub it especially around the edges of the room. Magically you'll feel a small "skritch", and you've saved your tender feet from impalement.
Anyone else distracted the whole video by how cracked Brent’s glasses were? As a glasses wearer myself and someone known to be a little obsessed with things being straight and even, I wanted to reach through the screen and straighten them.
My New Project: To make my glasses slightly more crooked with each video, an incremental increase of millimeters per video, until you've been driven fully and completely mad.
Hats off to you sir. You have in fact won. I just watched the latest Rambler and spent the full 18 mins wondering if your glasses were just crooked by accident or if they were crooked on purpose to drive me nuts. 😂
Wow Brent. We have in common the refusal to eat shellfish. Do love me the fin fish though, as you do.
I was crying from laughter as you related the story of the spider and the broken glass. My question is, why were you barefoot instead of wearing your miracle slippers?
A legitimate and reasonable question! I always kick off my slippers at the bedroom door, (where they set overnight, awaiting my morning return) then get ready for bed, and go to sleep. Usually takes a matter of two or three minutes and I'm horizontal, so my feet don't get sore.
I have received and devoured my orders of Canadian snack items! Hawkins Cheezies are basically a variant on Cheetos, but I thought they were cheesier. The bag boldly declared the presence of real cheddar cheese, and they did seem cheesier than any Cheetos that have crossed my path, and they also seemed bigger and chunkier. I must say, though, that they were also very salty.
As for the Eat-More bar, shame on you guys for keeping this a secret! Oh my what a wondrous thing! Eat more is exactly what I wanted to do when I finished the first one. For my fellow non-Canadians, imagine something a like Pay Day bar, one of those nougat things with nuts, but much thinner, half again as long, and yummy dark chocolate toffee instead of the nougat. Plenty of nuts, and very chewy! Oh my goodness, this thing is delicious! I'm going to have to get some more of these. I am, however, experiencing cognitive dissonance at the thought of the 10 lb version that Brent has described....
Anyway, both items readily available from Amazon for those like me whose curiosity overwhelms them.
I believe the urban legend was that we swallow 7 spiders per year? Anyway, it was never true, and there were many variations on it, which also weren't true. I think American Hysteria podcast is working on an episode about this. Good podcast. Anyway, keep rambling! Good times. (Not the tv show, although that was good too)
I often hear the same preordained bits of wisdom ("...it was meant to happen..." or something along that same vein). I have come to notice, these same philosophers of over simplification, never say the same thing when it happens to them.

Is Heck coming back? I'd like to know how that story ends.
How did u defeat the spider!
It was I who was defeated, as the spider escaped to who-knows-where!
Loved your show. Check your slippers for spiders before putting them on.

Solid tip! Thanks.
I would have used the brick.
The result was virtually the same.
Exactly, but with the security of knowing there would be no mouth spiders that night.
where did the spider go after the glass slipped out of your grasp?
That's what I'D like to know!!!

Basically, a new version of gaslighting -- glassescrookeding?
This would not take long. 😂

Pinterest has Eat More recipes. I tried one and it tasted exactly the same. Wasn't hard to make either!
Thank you Mark for sharing. Just a month or so more and I get to try them. We just had a 105 degree day.
What happened with the spider???
I wish to god I knew.😬
