"You know it's time to get up when you've got cold butt cheeks. Nothing worse. Goddamnit, I married you, the least you can do is lay across my ass and make 'em warm. Nothing else is working. (fiercely demanding) Warm my bottom, woman! Okay, I'm sorry. (whining pathetically) I don't like a cold bottom."

By this point, I was feeling a moral imperative to cover Adam's exposed ass. I got out of bed, picked up the blanket, walked around to his side of the bed, and laid the blanket very gently on top of him...

Before transcribing, I just want to mention here that, generally speaking, I do not use the word "bottom" among adults. I was merely quoting Adam.

For those who are only reading, just imagine that "(laughing)" is added in at every line.

ADAM: Ah! What'choo doing? What are you doing?!
KAREN: You- You've just been talking on and on about your cold bottom! You've been-
ADAM: Go away! It's not cold, it's airing.
KAREN: You- Adam, listen to me-
ADAM: What?
KAREN: You even said, "I married you, the least you can do is lie across me and warm my bottom." And I started to feel so bad, that I finally decided to come cover your- cover your ass.
ADAM: You decided to wake me up.
KAREN: No- Adam-
ADAM: You attacked me with the blanket.
KAREN: Adam, why would I- why would I ever wake you up when you're talking and I want you to keep talking?
ADAM: No, my bottom's not cold, I like to air it. It has a mass so great, it gets so hot anyway.
KAREN: Adam, I'm trying to tell you-
ADAM: Listen baby, come- I love you and I'm sure you had the best of intentions, but you woke me up.
KAREN: Well, I didn't know what to do. You just kept going on and on about it.
ADAM: I go on and on about lots of things, most of the time you ignore me.
KAREN: But this time- I mean, this one seemed relevant to real life. I looked over and saw that it was in fact exposed. And then I started to feel so bad. You said, "I don't like having a cold bottom," and so I came to cover it because I was worried about you.
ADAM: That I'd get hypothermia of the ass?
KAREN: I didn't like you sounding so distressed.
ADAM: Oh, but baby, you threw the blanket on top of me.
KAREN: I laid it- You perceive that, but I actually laid it very gently.
ADAM: Oh, I felt like I was attacked by a heavy flat thing.

    Genius. And kudos to Karen for actually wanting to help out after being addressed by STM like that ;)

  2. oh my God!! That was absolutely hilarious!!!
    Best line that cracked me up was "That I'd get hypothermia of the ass?" followed by a close 2nd..."I go on and on about lots of things, most of the time you ignore me."
    Sometimes I don't know what's funnier, the sleep talking or the "reveal". Awesome stuff!

  6. Would like to agree with Kirst - as a british person, "ass" is a donkey, "arse" is what adam was on about :D

    ReplyDelete
  7. Aww- she was just trying to help, Adam!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Also agree with Kirst. He definitely says "arse".

  9. OMG best one in awhile. My cheeks (face) hurt from laughing so hard.

  10. I'm not sure which was funnier - his sleep talking, or you two going on about waking him up!

    ReplyDelete
  11. That was indeed quite...well, I can't find words to describe that awesomeness.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh dear. This is a pleasant birthday gift ;). It seems that STM and Adam have different opinions about whether or not their butt should be exposed XD.

  13. Too funny! I love you guys. I wouldn't miss checking you out every day for a chuckle!

  14. I'm smiling from ear to ear! I laughed so hard while reading/listening to this, this morning!

  15. Best reveal ever!
    Adam you are so funny! Even awake!
    And Karen seems like such a nice and patient person.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wait, I always thought that "arse" was a polite transliteration to avoid writing or printing "ass." Are you people saying that you actually do pronounce the r? I didn't hear that at all, I heard "ass."

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think I like the ones where Adam (yells and) wakes up for the recount the best.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I adore the pair of you arse cheeks 'n' all ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. marilyn - no, arse is the REAL word. ass is the bizarre americanism, which as I said earlier, is in fact a donkey. :D :D Of all the weird american ways of saying things, this is the one that irritates me most!! :p

    ReplyDelete
  20. this is an instant classic! OMG it's simply on my arse laughing so hard!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Tears streaming down my face from laughing so hard at this exchange; I had to go find a tissue. I, like Karen, would have thought he was talking to me in real world scenario and done exactly the same thing: forcefully heaved the blanket atop his chilly bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That is the funniest reveal ever and the most I've laughed yet!!

    I love how he says "a-i-r-ing" and "I like to a-i-r it", and "attacked by a heavy flat thing" - gad how hilarious. And "I looked over and saw that it was in fact exposed." LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  23. "It's not cold, it's airing" Bwahahahahaha, oh my the tears of laughter I'm suffering from.

    ReplyDelete
  24. OMG. I HEART you both sooooooo much! hahahhaha

    ReplyDelete
  25. have to agree with others... sometimes the reveals are funnier than the sleep talking.
    "That I'd get hypothermia of the ass?"
    Still giggling.

    ReplyDelete
  26. You two are brilliant entertainment! Thank you so much for sharing, even with all the personal embarrassment it must cause you Adam :-D
    And poor Karen, it must be very confusing to have a man who wants two completely different things ;-)

  27. ♥♥♥♥!!!

  28. jesus christ the people whining in the comments about ass vs. arse are annoying

    ReplyDelete
  29. Omg, this is so funny! I love it!!! I wish my man would sleep talk...

    ReplyDelete
  30. oh my gosh, you two are so cute.

    ReplyDelete
  31. And just when I think y'all can't be any funnier...

    ReplyDelete
  32. I keep up with your blog because some of them are really funny, but I have to admit I think this is the first one that ever made me cry from laughing so hard. Absolutely hilarious!

    ReplyDelete
  33. @Anonymous at 21:53 - Flying Spaghetti Monster, people whining about people whining in the comments are annoying. I didn't perceive anyone as "whining", but as being genuinely confused about a "two nations divided by a common language" difference in spelling and pronunciation. It takes less energy to scroll past such comments than it does to post about them being annoying.

    @Adam & Karen - Love it! You two are wonderful. This reveal really was the best yet.

    @Marilyn B - As an Anglophile Yank, I can confirm that most Brits say "arse" - there is, however, difference in how strongly the R is pronounced. Adam's accent is one that doesn't emphasize it as much, but it's there. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well, now we know... Adam likes to "air" out his bum while STM does not!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Hours and hours later it occurs to me that here in the US, to 'warm ones bottom' means to get an old fashioned spanking.

    Makes today's quote even funnier... Warm my bottom, woman!

    ReplyDelete
  36. lol! this is the best post ever!
    (I'm still laughing!)
    karen: you are so sweet!!!
    stm: love all your intonations!!
    adam: u are as funny as stm sometimes. . .specially in this post! u are cracking me up!!!

  38. Okay I didn't read yesterday and this morning I got a double treat.

    Love the reveal.

  39. I suffer from hypothermic bottom on a regular basis. We have a technical term for it. We refer to it as an asscycle (arsecycle for the britishly-enclined...) Luckily my husband loves cold and does not jump out of bed when I cuddle up for a little warmth...

    ReplyDelete
  40. The condition of having an hypothermic bottom has a name. In Canada it is known as an asscycle.

  41. Oh my god. I listen to this at work and had to stop myself from laughing out loud. I actually have tears in my eyes. First off, this is hilarious. Second, you guys are absolutely adorable. :-D

    Karen, I apologize if you've already answered this elsewhere, but I'm really curious. How do you manage to hear all these gems and still get any sleep? Do you leave the recorder on all night and then go back to it in the morning, and if so how do you skip to the parts of the night where Adam's actually talking? Or do you just stay up all night? I hope you're still getting some rest! :)

    Best,

  42. I fail to see what's so funny about this.

    ReplyDelete
  43. If you fail to see what is so funny then you need to go buy yourself a sense of humor...this never fails to put a smile on my face.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Just the laugh i needed to star the day right. This has to be one of my favorite posts yet! I about fell of my chair when hypothermia of the backside came up :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. I absolutley love the waking exchanges in the middle of the night. Do share more as they occur!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh, the arse/ass debate. It always makes me laugh. The defenders of 'arse' don't realize that mostly they sound to non-Brits like they're saying 'ass' anyway.

    It's not that the British don't pronounce their r's, but North American r's are very strong. So it sort of sounds that way to us, though some British accents have stronger r's than others.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow.... I needed that! Sooooo funny!

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is the best conversation you guys have ever put on the blog, I think.
    Jesus.

    ReplyDelete
  49. OMG! I think this is my most favorite STM EVER! I am still laughing with tears in my eyes! And I love the fact you needed to have a conversation about it after--that just adds to the funniness!

    ReplyDelete
  50. You do usually do ignore him Karen, you have to admit. Remember you didn't call 9-9-9 when he was clucking in his sleep! :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Please please please tell me that some of the wonderful tidbits from both aspects of this post (the actual STM and the reveal) are going to make it to merch!! Since I've found your blog, I've kept up with it diligently, and I'm pretty sure this is the funniest thing yet...except the scratchy things.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I have to say this is by far the best one yet

  53. I've come back and listened to this one every day since it was posted. Sure cracks me up! Thank you for making me laugh every morning.
