Content warning foot stuff Your Daily Lex If nothing else this show makes me laugh sometimes that’s good, right First of all, this is not the first thing I’ve recorded into this very logic project the app I use for recording the show today Because I recorded some voiceover for a friend For a friend that’s how well I spoke in the voiceover for a friend of mine Who’s prepping a an updated app launch and when I saw some of the videos this friend was creating I was like, hey friend if you need voiceover, let me know I’ll be happy to do it This friend has helped me out multiple times in the past including with the original photo for this podcast artwork I eventually changed the photo after many years when I realized I was 10 plus years older than the original photo It’s just it seemed disingenuous to keep having younger Lex’s face on old man Lex podcast But anyway, I recorded a bunch of voiceover today, which was fun because I had to debate accent and pronunciation and I was like Do you prefer no gruffier announcer voice or cheerier upbeat announcer voice?

The answer was upbeat announcer voice and then we literally had to discuss.

How do you pronounce your apps name?

And that was an American accent pronounce the name, but whatever.

There you go Anyway, as I warned you at the top foot stuff, I had mentioned that I was taking a scary pill I think I mentioned the scary pill I’ve gone to the the podiatrist because I was having some weird stuff on my foot that I had for a long time I was like, hey there my foot looks weird and he looks at he’s like, oh, yeah, you have a very unusual form but very minor form of Athletes foot and he’s like The more common form of athletes foot is actually much worse This is fine And we don’t have to do anything but let’s treat it and he gave me this pill that I called the scary pill because it had a million side effects like I had to watch for my urine turning brown, which honestly probably would have killed me just sight on sight but anyway, I took the pill and The thing went away and I went back to the podiatrist He’s like, yeah, I went away and like it did go away, but I still have all this weird like Seemingly dry skin on my foot.

He’s like, yes, you do have some dry skin I was like, I thought that was also the same thing It’s like it’s probably connected to the fungus athletes foot issue that you had, but it’s not it’s not a symptom thereof And he’s like here’s how you can treat that you can put some lotion on your foot and you should use one of the foot files and I’m like a foot file and he’s like a foot file and I was like Yeah, you can just order them.

You can find them in stores or order them online But get the one that looks like sandpaper.

Don’t get the one that looks like a cheese grater I was like you have a brand or anything you recommend and he says no So then I leave and I’m sitting in the parking lot of the podiatrist and like cheese grater What is this guy even talking about?

So then I looked up foot file on Amazon and there were two main kinds of foot files my friends There were things that looked like sandpaper and there were things like cheese graters the things look like cheese graters terrified me but I bought a three-pack for $3 of Sandpaper ask foot files and they don’t come with instructions or even like Branding on the packaging.

I guess when you’re charging as little as they are.

It’s basically nothing basically is sandpaper on a stick and Then I’m like, well, what do I do now?

And I understand the console and he did say don’t go too rough and ideally do it in the shower So then I had to check the the product listing on Amazon to make sure they were waterproof Because there was no packaging on the box to say anything.

There was no printing on the boxes anything and I don’t know I have this foot file that looks like sandpaper.

It’s not a cheese grater and I guess I’m using it, right?

There’s still dry skin on my foot, but he said it would take time and I haven’t yet lotioned my foot because that’s gonna tickle But anyway sandpaper your foot feels exactly the way you would expect nail files themselves grows me out I Will file my nails sometimes most of the time I’m just a nail cutter But a nail filing the sound and feeling both really gross me out and now I’m thinking about it It’s like when some people think about nails on a chalkboard, obviously I hate that sound too but man Nail filing the feeling the sound all of it really super gross like I can handle the metal ones in like the ones that swing Out on a nail clipper like that’s not as gross But the the emery board the one that’s got that sandpaper feel truly disgusting doing on my feet doesn’t bother me One because it’s it’s a foot file.

So that’s what it’s there for and two because like I don’t know it’s my feet I mean, it’s I feet are just inherently gross, but they’re not eyeball level gross Anyway, that’s all my thoughts for this Thursday.

Have a great day Lex
