Full show transcript:
You get a bag of Chex Mix. Okay. What thing is leaving? What thing are you chucking out?
In Chex Mix? Yep. Traditional Chex Mix, not Muddy Buddy? Correct. Because I'll eat all of the Muddy Buddy. Let's see. I like the pretzels. I like the...
You don't need two pretzels. You only need one pretzel. What are you talking about? You got too many pretzels. They have pretzel sticks and the square pretzels. No. Yeah, you only need one pretzel.
Not the Chex Mix I'm looking at. What Chex Mix are you looking at? It has pretzel circles. Oh, and pretzel windows. Yeah. It does have two pretzels. That's what I'm saying.
I love the rye chips. No. You know what I'm getting rid of?
What? I'm getting rid of one of either the two things. The little bread sticks that you love. I don't care for. I give those to you. Or I'm getting rid of the whole wheat Chex.
Because they're not that great. Oh, I love those. So the two things you love, I'm getting rid of. I'll have the pretzels and the rye chips. Bada-bing! We got ourselves a snack we can agree on.
Well, that works out well.
I know it does. That's how we eat our Gardetto's as well. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.
Gardetto's. Because now I'm looking at the Gardetto's mix.
The original Gardetto's have too many bread sticks. No. Too many pretzels. There has one pretzel. That's too many. It has sticks and twists. It's too many. Yeah, but I don't like those bread sticks.
And the bread sticks are the only reason I eat those.
They're too powdery.
Well, I think the pretzels are too pretzely. Well, that's what they're supposed to be. Yep, and it's two pretzels.
But I love the rye chips. You can buy just the rye chips by themselves. I might like that. Do you know what I like about them? They taste like ramen. They taste like beef bouillon.
That's why I hate that. It's so good. What do you mean? Just eat a cube of beef bouillon.
No, I'll eat rye chips that taste like beef bouillon.
And they're too crunchy. I feel like I'm breaking my teeth in half.
No way. Those are so good. The perfect crunch. You know those bread sticks? Too soft. You're too soft. I feel like I'm eating powder and it gums up my teeth.
Gums. Let's start the show. Good morning. Oh, hey. What's happening?
Good to see you here at 7.24. No, I'm sorry. 6.24.
That's right. Because of the time change. How are you adjusting?
So far, okay, I suppose. It does hit till later, right? Like later in the afternoon when you're driving home and it's dark. Yeah. And then like second, third day. It's pretty bad. Pretty bad on the third day.
I'm going to tell you, you have an alarm I've never heard before. Does that mean? It goes off real early. At 5. But it went off. It felt like at 4. Like it felt like it went off very in the middle of the night. And I was very awakened by it. And I was startled. And I was like, what time is it?
I was very disoriented. And I looked at my clock and it was prior to 5. It was on my alarm clock.
Because it still said 4 something. And so all I saw was 4 in the morning. And I went, what is happening? And then I think I dozed back off to sleep.
You did. And I may have been snoring. Yeah, pretty heavily.
I have never had more pain in my knee than whatever shoving into my leg you did. Holy smokes. Aggressive. Okay. Okay. Unreal. Bending my knee the wrong way. Holy smokes.
Okay. Let me explain. You were snoring very loudly. Like not even snoring. It was like just breathing out of your... It was...
Yeah, I was trying to stay alive. You were like, oh.
Yeah. It was, I don't know. I couldn't handle it. Apparently. And then I had tried to gently rustle you a couple of times.
I felt no gentle rustle.
I know because that didn't work. And then I kind of healed you a little bit.
Excruciating.
Okay, but it also hurt me. What did? Me rustling you.
That's very Munchausen. No. Sorry. It hurt me to hurt you.
No. It hurt my physically. It hurt my foot physically. And I went, ah, that hurt. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be that aggressive. Insane. I didn't. I also didn't know it hurt you.
So this is how my adjusting to time change is going. Four o'clock alarms and wild knee pain.
You also have your music on your alarm clock go off about 530.
Earlier than that. It's about 510.
No, it isn't. Yeah. I changed it. It didn't go off at 510. Felt like it. But you, I don't know, it went off and maybe it was too loud for you or something. Yes, it was. It was. It was. It was. It was.
It was This morning.
I can't figure out why it's a strange thing.
I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. I just meant to move you.
Oh I'm moved I'm quite moved. Probably not the way it should be.
But it'll recover, I'll heal. It will. Six to eight weeks, I'll be just fine. Back to normal. As long as I don't get that anymore. It was your heel? Felt like a hammer.
Yeah, I'm trying to remember.
I think it was your knee. It might have been. It was sturdy. It was very, very solid and hard.
I don't think it was my knee. How would I have gotten my knee and not angled to shove you? Gently nudge. There was no shoving. Gentle nudge.
It was real bad. Whatever it was. I have to start wearing armor to sleep.
The snoring was extreme.
Sounds like not a me problem. I was asleep. I didn't sleep until I wasn't. Anyway, good morning. We're here. It's a Monday. It's November. What do you know about that?
I don't know. These are all terrible things that you're saying.
No way. Monday, November. Time change. Time change. But it's the good one. It's the fall back one.
Right. It's the good one.
It's still, you have to wake up in the morning. Yes. There's still that. I know. All right. Well, here we are. Here we are.
Well, the Dodgers won the World Series.
Did they really? They really did. I didn't keep up with that at all. I'm surprised to hear that. I thought the Blue Jays were really on a round.
I think it was a pretty close game from what I understand. I am watching the locker room celebration. Oh, yeah. I bet it's insane. It looks awful. And I'll tell you why. Because there's a lot of people in here shaking something liquid. Like champagne.
It's got to be champagne. Yeah, it sprays everywhere. But I can't necessarily tell. It looks awful. It looks sticky.
Gross. Here's the thing about that. There's probably, let's find out if it is sticky. I'm unaware. Is champagne sticky?
Because you've never been in a celebration where champagne was top dollar.
Yes, it is sticky, especially when it dries because there are sugars in it, which is what I assume. So the fact that they're doing that and it's hitting the ceiling and the floors and the carpet and everywhere else.
It feels inconsiderate. Yeah. Right? And I'll tell you why. Because they're not cleaning it up. No, of course not. And they're going to hit a shower. They're going to throw their clothes in that laundry basket.
Somebody's even going to do their laundry for them. And somebody else has to be like, come on, guys. Come on. Yeah. And what do you do? I mean, that place is painted.
You can't power wash it. It's everywhere. I'm telling you, look at... Oh, yeah. Gross.
Yeah, I feel like go out to... Go outside. Yeah, go outside. You have an entire field. Right?
Go shoot your champagne outside. That's what I'm saying. The score, five to four. The winning game. Game what? Five? Game eight?
Seven? I think it's seven. If they tied it up and it was three to three, that'd be game seven. But I don't know what happened. I don't know the whole thing, right? It was game seven. Because I pay attention. Was it in Toronto or were they at home in LA when they won? All right.
I don't know. I've told you what I know. So, you know what I know. It was... It doesn't even tell me.
I'm going to assume it was in LA, but I really don't know.
What I also know is that the Dodgers won the World Series last year also.
The Dodgers did? See, and I know I've talked to a lot of baseball fans who were just like, I can't stand the Dodgers.
I know. I feel like you either love the Dodgers or you hate the...
I feel like that's true about any team. But I feel like everybody that I've talked to, I haven't seen a Dodgers fan. I hear everybody we talk to, we talk to with their Cubs fan or their Mariners fan or whatever they are, they are not a Dodgers fan.
Sorry, everybody.
I haven't had somebody call me and be like, I am a Dodgers fan and I'm very excited. So that's interesting anyway.
I know that Prince Harry and his wife celebrated. Okay. And a lot of people don't like them and their Dodgers fan.
Oh, see, so now you got two things. You're multiplying the dislike. I know. Interesting.
So I guess congrats to them, but also maybe next time you throw your little party, do it outside. Yeah. Somebody's got to clean that up and that sucks.
Yeah, I'm not stoked on that. I think that's pretty lame. And that's an interesting thing that you point out. Somebody's now got to figure out how to get all that cleaned up. Sugary substance. Yeah. What a gross mess. What a gross. What a gross.
All right. From the Good News Department. From the Good News felt. Yeah. Yeah, there's some good news. Retired Army veteran in North Carolina turned this Halloween hobby that he has into a nationwide movement that ended up raising over a million. Dollars for charity, which is pretty impressive, I would say.
Yes. Thanks to a yard full of plastic skeleton. So back in 2020, Jeff Robertson, he wanted to cheer up his kids during the pandemic. So he decorated his yard with Halloween decorations, which caught the attention of the community in a pretty big way. And he turned that attention into a charity campaign asking for donations to pass along the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. And from there, the campaign grew as Jeff started a nationwide movement called Skeletons for St. Jude, which now includes a thousand homes participating across the country.
And this year was Jeff's family's sixth Halloween spectacular. And he was proud to announce that Skeletons for St. Jude officially hit the one million mark in donations, which is really super cool. But if you look at some of the skeletons for St. Jude homes, they're really interesting.
People will put all kinds of different skeletons out there all to raise awareness and encourage people to donate funds to support the childhood cancer research that St. Jude does, which is a great cause. Yeah. And anyway, pretty cool. Some people go all out with like many, many, many skeletons. Some will just have one or two, but people get really creative putting them in, you know, hot tubs or all kinds of weird little, you know, displays. It's kind of fun. So if you're, you know, into it, skeletons for St. Jude or something you could be a part of if you wanted to decorate your front yard or something fun and actually, you know, do something also pretty awesome at the same time. You just have a sign with the QR code. So people that are enjoying it can, you know, hit the QR code and make a donation if they want. That's pretty much how it works. So pretty fun.
That's nice. Yeah. It's good news. Let's imagine that you're a big celebrity and you go to. Let's imagine. And you go to a venue, right?
You're Tory. You go to the venue and they say, oh, you can only have two things on your rider. What are they?
Now your writer is what you want in your dressing room.
Specifically, it's a list of things that are like, like these are the, my comfort things I need to prepare for a show or whatever. So I'm going to assume craft services is taken care of. So there's some sort of catering in that's coming in for food.
Well, you get like a meal for sure. But if you want snacks.
I understand. Yeah. Or specific things. Like sometimes people put on like a specific cough drop or something they like that helps them with their singing voice or something.
Miranda Lambert was on Joe Rogan and said, the two things on her rider are Cheetos and Titos. Oh, okay. Good for her. I know.
I know. I would, I would want some, some beverage like a, like a, like Sprite. So maybe a Sprite. And like a cold, a cold bottle of Sprite would be, would be nice to have. I could, I could, I could chill out and have a Sprite. Okay. One. And then if I don't have a meal, I want like a pizza. Okay. Like a good, real nice, good, hot, fresh pizza.
You're like 10 years old. I'm so easy to please. I like it though.
Doesn't pizza and a Sprite sound amazing right now? And from where? A good solid old school slice of pepperoni pizza.
From, do you have a particular place? I would say if it were me, I would say Pizza Hut from the 90s.
I know, but you want that 90s pan pizza. It's not the same. I know what you're talking about. It's not the same, but. You almost feel bad not eating that with a fork, like because the crust was so serious in the pan pizza. And I get it.
I did book it. I know what you're talking about, but it's not that. Like I want like a, I can see it in my head, but it doesn't exist the slice of pizza I want. Like I want the real like, I don't even know how to explain it, but a real good piece. You know what I don't want? Totino's. Gross. Totino's variety meat.
Whatever they call that thing. What would I pick? Am I a singer? I don't know. Because if I'm a singer, I wouldn't want to get something that affected my voice, you know? Like salt and vinegar chips, probably a no go. Yeah. I'll tell you what I'll have. A nice comfort cup of tea. Okay. London fog. Sure. Yes.
Yes. Okay. A nice good cup of London fog. And then. Ferrero Rocher.
Oh. See?
Toblerone. Toblerone.
Some sort of really nice chocolate. You love a chocolate.
I do like a chocolate. A nice chocolate.
Yeah. Or those, whatever those little sandwich cookies are that you get the bags and bags of every holiday.
Yeah, but I can get those anytime. No, I know. This is something. I can get pizza in a sprite anytime. What do you mean? That's true. Yeah. What are those cookies called? The Milano's? Yeah. Yeah, I like those. Earl Grey and a Milano. No, London fog. That's what I meant.
London fog and a Milano. Yeah.
That sounds nice.
Yeah. So to sprite the pizza.
So we'll both be happy. We're in very different lanes.
Yeah, we are. But that's okay. Maybe your dressing room and my dressing room can commingle. Oh, sure. Do you like London fog? No. Do you like Milano cookies? They're okay.
They're fine. I prefer Biscoff, but they're fine.
All right. Well, then I'll share my cookies. You share your pizza and we'll just keep to our own drinks.
Perfect. Like, like the way it should be. So tomorrow is election day in East Idaho and other places.
Oh, I had noticed that there was an election. Oh, absolutely. There is. Yeah. I haven't seen any signs anywhere.
No, none. Well, we want to encourage you to get out and vote 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The polls will be open so you can, you can get out. You can vote. It's really important that you do so. If you need information, if you don't know where to go, where do you go to get that information?
You go to vote Idaho.gov.
That's right. Vote Idaho.gov is where you can check your voter registration. You can get all of the results as well. They show up there, but you can view your sample ballot. You can find out where your polling location is. And you can, in the state of Idaho, register to vote on the same day. So if you are not currently registered to vote, you can bring the required documentation to your polling place and you can register to vote in person same day.
So it's never too late. Just show up. They'll tell you what you need. You can look up vote Idaho.gov to find all that out beforehand. But get yourself out and about and vote.
And if you don't know who to vote for, they're local news 8, East Idaho News. They all got videos of local debates. So good point.
Yeah. Educate yourself. Right. And then go cast your vote tomorrow 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Get out and vote. All right. Do we need spooky music for the conversation about how Halloween went? Are you over?
No, I, no, we don't. You know why? Because Halloween was a little bit different this year.
I think we've been saying it's different this year for the past probably five years. Right.
Not five. Maybe three. When your kids start to grow up, I just remember when our kids were a little, it was like, we had to do all of the things.
Right. We had to go with the zoo and we had to, on Halloween night, it was like you had to go to every, every grandparents house. You had to stop at aunts and uncles.
You had to stop at your friends. Yeah. I mean, there was, it was go, go, go all night. Right. And yeah, you're right. As they've gotten older in the last five years, it's like, what should we, what should we do? It's
really changed. Yeah. And this year, no exception. We ended up not doing much of anything and the trick or treating was slow. It really was. We had like four or five groups come to the house with maybe like up to four kids. We probably saw 20-ish kids. That's it.
Emery had a friend over. They were downstairs. They had a hunkered down watching scary shows. Beck was busy with his friends. So it was just, you and me, your mom had come over for some dinner. Yeah.
And then the two of you started chatting and I said, well, I'm going to put on my bald cap and wait for trick or treaters. Yeah. But I didn't, we did not get very many at all. No. In fact, I have a bag of candy that I brought to the office because I'm not going to keep that at home.
I did not know you did that. It's gross candy. Oh, well good. The candy I don't want. I see. She's going to throw it in the break room and say help yourself. All right. That works out.
Finally, at about nine o'clock, I think we decided that we were going to turn off the lights. We hadn't gotten any trick or treaters.
It had been a long gap.
Your mom had left and you were like, what do you want to do? And I said, I don't know. So we turned on a movie. Here's what I know. You think that I just fall asleep when I lay down and put on a blanket. But what I know now is that I can also fall asleep sitting up. That is true.
That's, I didn't, I think the right way. The recipe for guaranteed falling asleep is lay down with a blanket. Okay. Lay down with a blanket. You're out in five minutes. Sitting up 15.
Both can be true at the same time. I was sitting there like, hmm. Yeah. You looked over and you said to me, I'm crashing. And I went, all right. Calling it.
So we went to bed pretty early on Halloween night. Yeah. That's probably the lamest Halloween we've ever had. You think? I think so.
I mean, it was, I think now what we've decided, let me know if this is true, is that if we want to have some sort of excitement, we've got to do something for the neighborhood.
We've got to decorate the front yard as a trick or treat experience. Yeah. So that when people show up, they got to like go through a thing. Like we saw that robot on a porch was a fun idea. Something like that where you're going to have some sort of interactive trick or treating experience that people will come from all around to be a part of.
Yeah, but I mean, it's going to take, we just don't get a lot of trick or treaters because a lot of people just do the trunk or treats. Yeah. And so then we don't have a lot of door to doors. That's true.
I think the other thing that's happened in the neighborhood is we've had not a lot of turnover. There's only been a couple of houses this year that have changed hands. So I don't know that there's a super large young population in our neighborhood. Maybe not.
And that could be a big contributing factor too, is that maybe we just have a kind of an older or not quite ready to trick or treat young kids too. We could be in a weird bubble.
I mean, I'm ready. I should probably get some full-size candy bars because the amount of candy that I'm giving out is not enough.
It'd be less expensive at this point than getting a bag of a hundred and something pieces.
See, if the word gets out, this house has full-size candy bars, then we'll get more kids. It's weird.
You're trying to, kids come to my house.
Yeah, interesting.
Pretty low-key Halloween.
Quiet Halloween night. It wasn't bad. It wasn't terrible. Will be more exciting next year?
We'll have to wait and see, I suppose. All right.
I hope so because it could be more, I think, is the big deal. It could be more. We could do more showmanship for Halloween and that might help.
Okay. I'm game.
All right. I'm willing. We'll sort of figure it out. Make a plan. There's only 360-something days until Halloween. Okay.
I got a plan.
Right now? No. Oh, you've got to.
I've got a plan to make a plan.
Okay. Put it in the calendar. Got it. It's in there.
I think of all of the clocks to change on time change, the most difficult one is my car.
I think that one's pretty easy. I think you just don't know where to go to do it.
No. And I, because it only happens twice a year, I forget where I go to find it every time.
It's in the dash panel. All those little options you have to toggle through, it's in there. Okay. It's not on the radio part. Okay. It's in all your little settings.
No, no, no. I think it's on the steering wheel. Yeah.
You use the buttons to get through. That's what I'm saying. But it's got the little display up there where it shows your digital speedometer. Right. That little thing. Yeah. It's in there.
That's where you go to do it. Okay. I'm going to have to check it out today. Okay. You think you get all your clocks and then you're like, oh, miss that one.
Mine's automatic in mine. In your truck? Yeah. Once it sinks to my phone, it.
Oh, well, aren't you fancy? I guess. Don't you have a fancy car?
I have a car that is six years newer than yours. So there's that. Fancy. Yours predates backup camera requirement, which is why you don't have a backup camera. No. But you also have a tiny little hatchback. It's not hard to back up. You're sitting in the front seat, but you might as well be in the trunk. Yeah, it's a little car.
I appreciated that you set the alarm in the oven.
You did that. I did the clock on the microwave and the oven.
Yes. And then I had to do all the analogs, not the analogs.
Yeah. Yeah. The analogs. All the hand clocks throughout the house.
We have four. I have more usually. I have a wall of clocks, but they're currently.
Not a commission right now. Because we're painting some point.
And I took all the batteries out. And I have a wall of clocks. But I do, when we've had those up before. Daylight savings comes around. Whose idea was it to have a wall of clocks? It's a terrible idea.
Well, they all keep different time too. So throughout the month, you have to like adjust them ahead or back because they're faster, slow. So I also did the alarm clock in the bedroom. You did Beck's alarm clock, his analog alarm clock. Even though everybody uses their phones for alarms. Yeah. Except not me. What do you use? Just that radio. You do not just use that radio. I have no alarm set on my phone.
Guess what? You live in the same room that I do. Yeah, I know. So by way of default, you also use mine.
I get other alarms, but I have no other alarm set myself.
That's fascinating. You just rely on me to wake you up.
I rely on the fact that we're in the same room to wake me up. Yes. Yep, that is true. I'm trying to think of other clocks we've got. Did you get them all? I got them all. Nice. Other than your car. Yeah.
Because I was driving to work this morning. Look at the clock. And I go, ooh. Well, I'm waiting. I'm an hour late. I think it's easy. I just forget to do it every time. Yeah.
It's not, it's not super tough.
But is it one of those things? Sometimes my car won't do things while I'm driving. Yeah, no, you're going to have to do it parked. Yeah, that's fine. It's safer to do it while I'm parked anyway. Yeah.
That's why it makes you do it while you're parked. It forces you to be safe.
Yeah, I'll do it while I'm parked. Good answer. Because I'm safe.
Yeah. If you get one of those fancy ones, it's automatic.
A fancy car? Yeah. Yeah, but my car's paid for. So.
Yeah, there's that. A lot of D. That is fancy.
I think it's fancy to not have a car payment.
It is very fancy. I agree. I like where your head's at.
So I can manually set my clock every day.
Well, okay. I wouldn't do it every day, but you can. Well. Cause that seems more tedious than paying a bill once a month. Setting a clock every day. Buy a new car. I don't have time to deal with that.
Emory and I were driving this weekend and there was a young person behind me driving. And he was kind of tailgating a little bit. And that's what I noticed immediately. And I was tailgating you.
Okay.
And I was a little bit annoyed by that cause I was like, bro, if I have to stop suddenly you're going to be all up in my car. Right. And I don't appreciate that. And then I noticed that he was on his phone. He was recording something. He was talking like his phone was in front of his face the whole time we was trying to drive. And I got very annoyed. And then when we stopped at the stoplight, I turned around and Emory said, I mothered him. And I did. Okay. It was a little bit crazy what I did. Did you go, I'm on. I'll tell you what I did. Cause I recorded Emory saying it because she repeated what I said. And you said. You need to stop.
You need to stop like that. That's what you said. You need to stop.
Turned around in my seat and I even had a finger out.
Like I'm absolutely 100% positive. They have no idea what happened.
No, he didn't. He didn't even notice. You need to stop. Was it a little unhinged? Yeah. I mean, that's less unhinged.
Then. Then just yelling for the sake of yelling at people who aren't in your car. It's, it's a different approach. You've taken the, I'm, I'm going to tell you, you're driving poorly approach. It was a, I think you're cut your finger. Wagged.
Yeah. I think your borderline at the point where you're starting to get like this is probably your first like test the waters with your toe on, on turning from a road rage mama into kind of like I'm tired of society granny. You're kind of on that teeter. Like, you know, I get it. This is, this is the part where you start to transition into within the next five years. You're just living your best life and everybody else around you. You don't care about. Yeah. I can't wait to get there. That's where I think you're, I think you're, I think your scales tipping. Okay. I'm pleased.
I'm pleased. You need to stop.
This is, this is when you, you've seen these videos where, where like kids are skateboarding and it isn't, you're not going to walk up and go and be via Karen as they say, you're going to, you're going to walk up and you're going to be like, now you boys should be wearing helmets. You're going to be out here doing that aggressive, you know, skating.
You're going to need to be wearing protective gear and then you walk away and they go, thanks mom. Thanks Graham. Right. That's, I think you're teetering. I think that's what's happening.
My favorite part is I didn't even think about doing it. I just did it. And then after I did it, I went, what was that? Why did I do that? You need to stop.
Like you're in the car with them. That's good. Pointing your finger.
Oh man. Every, even every goes, what? Yeah. I said, I don't know. I don't know. You lectured him. I don't know where that came from.
Huh. Well, congratulations. I'm excited for your future. That's a, that's a good time. You need to stop. Has she been saying it a lot? Like every time you're in the car? No, no. Oh, I bet she will. I bet she will. Every time you get in, you're like, mm-mm. You need to stop.
And what, he can't hear me. No. He couldn't see me. What exactly did he need to stop? He has no idea. Tailgating apparently.
You need to stop tailgating. But he didn't know that. He didn't see. He knows now. He's been scolded. What's up? What do you know?
Well, you know how when people are dating, you're like, that's a red flag or that's a green flag.
Oh, okay. We've been married 20 years. Been together for 23. Yeah. Yeah. I've known you a while. 22. We met in 2003. 22. It's just over 22. We've been married for over 20 now. Yeah.
I see green flags all the time. New green flags that pop up.
From me? Yeah. Well, that's nice.
You know my taco order. And that's the biggest green flag of all.
Well, I know what you order. Yeah. I could pretty much, and you say the same thing. I could order for the whole family anywhere we go. Yeah. And I think that's true. And that's just out of like, I know your tastes, right?
I think what you're referring to is that in the app where I can go and order food, I have saved your order because you have a very customized items. And so it's really a pain? It's not. No, it's not anymore because I saved them.
But it's not a pain. It's not like I'm like, switch the levels for- No, here's the pain.
No, no, no. It's- I'm not saying your order is a pain. Okay. I'm saying the process of placing a customized order is a pain. And especially when it's like, what do we want to eat? And then everybody's barking their order at you and I'm like, hold on one at a time.
Like that, I love it to drive through. Like everybody tell me at once, like I'm going to remember. No, I'm going to pull up, I'm going to do some ordering and then I'm going to go and now next and next and next. And then we'll move through in an orderly fashion. Okay. So when I order on the app, I have saved your customized tacos so that when you go, oh, I want that one or I want that one or I go, do you just want both? And then you go, no, actually, yeah, I'm kind of hungry. I'll have both. And then I just have to hit one button to add it. And I don't have to go through, add it, customize, change the thing, save it.
It's not a big customize. You just swap the meat for beans and
you just make it a veggie taco. It's too much. It's not too much. It's one button. I've saved it. I pushed literally one button.
But I appreciate that you saved it and I appreciate that you know that there are sometimes I want both and sometimes I just want one and sometimes I just want the other.
I don't know when that'll be, but I have them saved individually so that I can select one, the other or both.
I appreciate that. And thank you. That shows me that you like me a little bit.
Because your food order exists in my phone? All right.
What's my Dutch brother's order?
Well it depends on the season. Because you do the Christmas morning chai with sprinkles and soft top sometimes. Yeah.
It's a lot of sugar.
Right. Sometimes soft top. Yeah. I know that.
Ice blended hot.
Depends on the day. How's the weather? It does depend. Not often blended. Sometimes iced, but if iced you like to do the large because then you get more drink even though it's mostly ice.
But you could say the medium. You can't say light ice, but then they water it down. I know. It's the way it works with the ice. I've heard the things. I know the complaints.
Wow. Yeah. Double green flag. Mm-hmm.
Two. I got two green flags. You got a lot of green flags. I look like a four wheeler at St. Anthony's Sand Dunes. Two big flags hanging up and they're green. That's me.
I'll just keep you around. Okay. These are the times where I go if, if, if, if we ever separate. Mm-hmm. Never, right? But I'll never. No one else is going to run. No one's going to know my taco order. Sure they could learn, but it's not. Yeah.
And then I have to delete those from my phone. What a hassle.
What a hassle. We got to just stay together. Yeah.
Because I'm not updating my apps.
No. I'm not going to tell anybody else what my taco order is. Just know it. Yeah. Come on.
I heard something over the weekend when I was doing yard work and I was a little bit confused about it and also a little bit like intrigued to learn more. And then I told you about it and you said, what? No, we're talking about this. So here's what I heard. I said we're going to unpack this. Yeah.
I was listening to a podcast while I was in my headphones doing the yard stuff, putting away all the chairs for the winter and all those things. And the statement that I heard was that men are more inherently good at directions because they have more iron in their nose and iron being a magnetic metal would turn your body naturally to a magnetic north, I guess. So you would be able to find north because of the amount of iron in your nose. So this morning, because I did no research, I just told you about it and you went, oh no, we're unpacking this. Here's what I found out. It is not supported by scientific evidence.
Shocker. So iron is an essential mineral that is primarily found in the blood and the liver and there is no known physiological reason why men would have more iron in their noses than women. And additionally, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that iron in the nose plays any role in human health or behavior. Now, it is important to note that some anecdotal evidence suggests that men may have a better sense of direction than women. However, it is likely due to cultural factors and differences in socialization rather than any biological differences in iron levels.
That's what they say on the internet. What spurred this conversation was I needed to go to a store across town and I went, okay, and I had to sit before I moved and think what road it was on and what was the easiest route to get there because I couldn't remember if it was off of sunny side or if it was off of 17th and then I went, okay, what's my direction to get there? And you said, you kind of smirked at me like, it's crazy that you have to do this. And then said that you had heard that on this podcast. That is not a science podcast.
Okay, but listen to this. Listen to this because you're not going to believe this.
I probably won't believe it.
Humans have vestigial deposits of magnetite in our sinuses, which were used by an evolutionary ancestor to sense the Earth's magnetic field for direction. Humans?
Humans. Not like a gender.
Well, no, humans in general. But if you think about historically and patriarchally and every other reason, hunter gatherers were different. Fair? Okay. Okay. I'm not saying that. So evolutionarily, it would make sense that it would be more on the men's ability to find their sense of direction for things like hunting.
Because they had to go to the center to find.
Well, you had to know where north was. So if your nose bent north, you knew you were headed in the north direction where meat might be, I guess. I don't know. Or if you felt like, nope, I have no magnetic pull to my nose.
Yeah, I got none. What I also know to be true, this is science, my own science, is that you are very good at and sometimes I'm flabbergasted by the fact that you're like, yeah, I've driven this once and I already know where I'm going. You don't need a compass. You don't need a GPS sometimes.
And I'm like, how? Unless I'm on the water. Unless you're on the water, that's true. Or unless you're busy talking. And when you're talking, it's not that you lose your way. You just forget where you're going.
Yeah. Or I'll be in my head about somewhere else I need to go. And then you'll go, where are you heading? I'm like, I thought I was headed to this place. I was going to complete. I didn't realize we had an order to the errands.
I was headed to this one first.
Oh, your iron is failing you.
Oh, it's working. It's fine. Anyway, this magnetite that they discovered, this was in early 2006 is when they published this about humans having compasses in their nose. Magnetite is the same thing that is in homing pigeons, migratory salmon, dolphins, honey bees and bats. Really? It's the same thing that helps them navigate home and navigate where they need to be.
It's magnetite and it's in humans. Still? Well, yeah. I mean, probably not as much because we developed GPS. So, you know, we aren't relying on our noses and our bodies to help us find meat these days. I just, you know, people type in, how do I get to the grocery store in the town I'm not used to to get meat?
Or I've seen some hunters and I know there's some hunters that are like, yeah, I could really use that because I can't ever find any gravitational area, whatever it is.
Yeah. Gravitational area. That's what it is. Okay. Yep. Fascinating. I thought so as well. And now you know what I know, which is very little.
We had some house guests over the weekend and yesterday we slipped in a little bit later than I wanted to. And then I felt, well, I guess we didn't. We just...
Time change happened. So, it felt like it.
And then we stayed in our room for a little bit longer than I wanted to. Okay. But then I felt guilty because I didn't realize by the time you got out, one of our friends was sitting in the living room. Okay. In the living room of the kitchen.
And then that made me feel guilty. Because you don't want to sleep in past your guests.
Why? I don't know.
Okay. I know you don't get it, but it makes me feel guilty.
I guess I just don't understand that feeling. I don't understand the guilt of it. That doesn't make sense to me. I understand you could be like, oh, hey, I didn't realize anybody else was awake. I don't think there's anything to feel guilty about.
Well, I know. That doesn't make sense to me. In retrospect, I think about it. I go, there's really nothing to feel guilty about it. If I was at somebody's house and I woke up before them, I'm fine entertaining myself. I don't need you to entertain me.
We all have a phone.
I know where the restroom is. I know where the couch is. If I need something, I can get it.
When they arrive and you say, hey, make yourself at home, whatever you need to help yourself, you're a guest here. That's part of being a host. It wasn't like noon. Right. That would be pretty gnarly. I think that's where you'd be like, what are you doing? Our whole day is done. It was probably 10 minutes.
I know. It wasn't that bad. For a split second, I went, we should have gotten up a long time ago.
It was no big deal. I don't feel guilty about it. There's nothing to feel guilty about. If anything, you might feel maybe embarrassed, but there's no guilt. What is the guilt? That's an interesting choice of words, I guess. Or maybe that's what you feel. I don't know. I don't know either.
I don't know what I feel.
I walked out, saw one of our guests in the living room and said, good morning. That was it. I didn't go, sorry.
I would have. If I had gone out there before you, I would have been like, oh, I'm so sorry that you're awake before me.
That makes no sense.
I feel like it's my duty as a host to wake up before them, make sure I have breakfast going.
No way. I don't know. That's a weird pressure.
I know it. It's what I do to myself. I don't know why. I don't either. You should stop it. It's fine. I'm fine. I'll be fine.
There's got to be something in there from an old-fashioned thing that you picked up along the way. Maybe that's an old thing. I don't know. I felt no emotion. Here's the other thing. I said good morning and then I started getting things ready to cook breakfast. That was it.
When you're staying at someone's house, do you come out in your pajamas or do you come out fully dressed?
Comfortable clothes, but not like ...
It depends on the day, I guess. If you've got plans.
And the guest, probably. Exactly. I think there are two factors there. If it's your sister, you're way more comfortable than if it is a different friend or something. That's a different type of guest.
Okay. That checks out. But I guess it also pertains to if you've got plans for that day or not. If you're like, we're going to this thing at
10, then I'm going to be like, okay, I'm going to get ready. I'll be ready to go. But if you're like, we're just going to kick it. I'm going to be cash. Right. Until we make a plan. Correct.
And then it's going to be like 45 minutes before you're out the door. So there's all this extra time for me to go, well ...
I am not. I do not take very long to get ready though. No.
I was talking specifically about the two of you, you and your sister. It will be 45 minutes.
No, she doesn't take very long either. The both of us don't take very long to get ready. We're Whippy Snap.
45 minutes burns by quick when you're the one getting ready.
Whippy Snap. That's us. Okay. Call us. Whippy Snap.
Call us? Whippy Snap. I don't know what that means. Whippy Snap. Whippy Snap.
Whippy Snap. Because we get ready super fast. Whippy Snap. Whippy Snap.
First time I've ever heard that in my life. That's what people call us. Whippy and Snap. Yep. No one's called you that. Everyone calls us that. No one has ever called you Whippy and Snap. Oh, here comes Whippy and Snap.
Whippy Snap. That's us. You just haven't ever heard it. You're right.
Because it's never been uttered until now. But congratulations on your new nickname. Whippy and Snap. Whippy Snap. Which one are you? Snap. Let's hear it. Whippy Snap. No, you're Snap. Okay, that's decent. Whippy Snap. You might want to try Whippy. Try on Whippy. See how that feels. Because Snap started to get bad.
You don't need to snap. It's the name. That was a good one. You had an oil change. They said your air filter was critical.
That's right. That's an interesting choice of words. Normally they'll say like, we really think you should get that change. But when they said, look, this thing's critical. I went, well, that's severe. That's a very strong choice of words about a cabin air filter. And so I said to myself.
Is the cabin filter and the air filter the same thing? No.
You have an engine air filter that filters air that goes into your engine so that you suck a bunch of debris and leaves and mice and bugs or whatever into your engine. You have a filter for that. That's your air filter. And then you have a cabin air filter, which is inside of the car.
Well, it's in your glove box, typically. And that's where it lives. And it's part of your heating and cooling air flow to keep debris and stuff so that when you turn on, remember in the old days, when you turn on the heat and a bunch of leaves would fly out at your face and dust and stuff in old vehicles, they didn't have a cabin air filter. They just were a hose to the outside air. And so that's how mice and stuff would get into your car because you didn't have that. So now they put in the cabin air filter.
It's going to be a pretty big suction to suck in mice.
No, they crawl in there. Oh, I see. Because it's warm. Ice. And then they make a nest and then you turn on your feet and it smells like dead mice. Oh. Treat. So what they did is they put in this cabin air filter to collect dust and leaves and whatever to keep your inside air clean. So that's why when you go into a car wash and you don't like the smell of it, you can switch to that recycle inside air. And it's just the air inside. It's not pulling air from the outside anymore. Got it. So you can change where your air comes from. So the cabin air filter that's in the glove box was critical.
That was your critical one. Ooh, doggy.
So I went to the store where I had a coupon.
Because they said, we can do this for you. And you said, no, man, I got this.
Dude, I can do air filters. Okay. And I can do them for less money. What did I say to you? Oh, I probably need that too. I do need that. Maybe you do.
Every time I go to get my air, my oil changed, they say the same thing to me. And you go, they never said critical. They never say critical.
Right. They say, you should probably get that change.
And I say, okay, let's do it. And you go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'll do that. And guess what? It still hasn't been done. I'm overdue for an oil change. I'm going to go back.
They're going to tell me the same thing. Yeah. I'm going to say, yeah, my husband keeps telling me that he'll do it and he doesn't. So just do it. Oh, you're going to pay more money? To get it done? Yeah. Pay me the money. Then do it. Do it, bro. Bro.
So I went to the store and I got my filter and I had a coupon from when we went to the races in Utah in August. And so I got to use my coupon to save a few bucks. I felt pretty good about that. Wow. Because I spun a wheel to win that coupon. So I used a thing I wanted to spin a wheel thing.
How much was the coupon? Five dollars. Hey, five dollars off? Five dollars off. That's a pretty good coupon.
Yeah. It was five dollars off your purchase of ten dollars or more.
I'm surprised you knew where to find it.
It's been in my wallet since I left that wheel spin thing.
You remembered you had it.
I see it every time I go to use my car and I go, oh yeah, I need to use that for something. And then I had a critical cabin air filter and I went, I have a coupon.
How? And I love a deal. Yes, you do. So I got to use a coupon and save a couple of bucks. So I went and put in the new filter. When I took out the old one, it was critical.
You've already changed it. It was bad. You've already changed it. Oh, I changed it in the parking lot. How much you did? Yeah. It seems like it's easy to change those air filters. Yeah, it is. Okay.
That's why I just do it myself. Then change mine.
I'm going to teach you how. I don't want to. You can't die because I don't know how to change my hair.
I'll just make somebody to do it.
It's a two minute job.
Fine. Teach me how to do it, I guess. Okay. What were you going to say then? I was going to say how much are they? Well, it depends on the vehicle. I was going to say, is that the thing that is specific for each car making model and year? Ugh.
I hate that. Do you know what year your car is? Yeah, it's a 2013. That's easy. You know everything you need to know. But then they have those books and you have to look at the books. Nope. You walk up to the counter and you go, here's the part I need. They go, awesome. We have these six options. Then you go, okay.
Don't give me options.
Just give me one. Well, they have to give you options because there's six different manufacturers. Oh, man. Oh, man. You might want one with carbon in it or you might want one that's just a little paper filter depending on your budget. And how much outside air you want to smell. Oh, okay. So I got one that has carbon in it. Is that a fancy one?
It's middle of the road, really. I didn't go like full on fancy because some of them are washable. So you can take them out and you can vacuum them off and wash them and put them back. Gross. You buy it once. For how long? Forever.
Forever. Yeah. But then you have to wash it all the time.
Every time you get your oil changed, you take out the air filter and wash it. And by wash it, I mean you vacuum it off, you hose it, and then you put it back in after it's dry. I see. It's not like a huge deal.
Air filter is critical.
Yeah, well, not anymore. Not anymore. And it was gross. It was really nasty. It was dirty. I haven't seen a dirty filter like that since I changed the air filter on the furnace. You probably haven't seen mine. No, I haven't.
Mine is probably high critical. Maybe. I haven't seen it. Okay, we're going to take it out and then we're going to look and you're going to replace it.
I'm going to teach you how to replace it.
I'm going to pretend to watch. And I'm like, yeah, I know how to change that now.
No, because I'm going to point. I'm not going to do it. You're going to do it. I'm just going to point. Big news, Chantel. What is it? Well, I talked to the neighbor about the leaves.
I did not know you.
I know I have not told you about this because I waited to tell you just now. This is big news. I know. So I still got to get his name. I feel bad. I don't know his name. I got to work on that.
What if you just start randomly calling him a stuff until you get it right? Hey, Gary.
Yeah, I'm going to guess it's not Gary. Okay. It could be like, I bet it's like a Jake or a Brian. It's something like that. Okay. It's got to be something like that. Anyway, over the weekend, he was doing yard work. I was working in the backyard. I had a few things I had to take around at the front and I saw him doing the leaf blower thing, mowing, doing the leaves and getting it cleaned up.
And I said, well, this is awesome. Now we're going to have good looking yards. Well, it was super windy yesterday.
It undid everything, by the way, which now everything's just a mess again. So thanks, wind. Appreciate it.
But so I saw him. This must have been Saturday night-ish. Late afternoon, maybe. Okay. We had come back from running some errands and you had walked inside and I was walking like behind you.
You'd shut the door. I was unloading stuff from the truck or something and he was there and I went, hey! I said, really sorry about all the leaves, man. And he was like, no, it's all good. And I said, I said, well, it's looking great. And he said, I'm trying to keep up with you, man.
And I went, no. I said, when are you putting up Christmas lights? Because we got to coordinate this a little bit. I said, and he said, well, it's looking like next weekend's got some pretty okay weather. And I said, all right, let's do this.
So yeah, because we can't be like one up in each other every two steps, you know? I took care of the leaves in the front. A couple of days later, he's like, I got to catch up. So it's fun to know that he's on the same page of like he does something to his lawn and I go, oh, now I got to do my lawn because they touch. And where they touch, you can't have one long, tall, shaggy grass and one looking nice. So we've got to work together a little bit on our schedules, I think. But anyway, yeah, so we had a nice little convo.
Hang every Christmas lights together.
It's kind of the plan, sort of. Just to let you know this weekend, if the weather's looking like he said it is, which I haven't double checked.
Josh and the neighbor are the best of friends. We're going to be putting them on Christmas lights. Josh doesn't even really know his name.
I know, I got to work on that. It is looking nice. It looks like sunny and highs will be in the low fifties. That's Christmas light hanging weather. So it looks like that's on the agenda for this weekend, at least for, you know, a good hour or two.
Okay, keep on being friendly. Sure. Because when it snows and he brings on his little plow. Right. I like that. Okay. All right. I don't expect it, but when he does it, I go, oh man, it's so nice. So I'm going to get it done in two minutes.
I know it's a really short sidewalk. And it's not a backbreaker.
Right. Anyway, what were you going to say?
I was just going to ask, like he does his lights up. I do ours down.
Do you have a preference? I don't think I even really have noticed.
I wonder if there's any reason to do one over the other. I have not noticed. I'm real excited for the part where I get to plug him in and see how many died and put in the new ones, lay him out in the kitchen. It's a whole thing. It is a whole thing.
And it's many strands. Do we want to add to it and do anything new this year? We got to start planning this stuff because this weekend I'm putting it up. Okay. So if we're going to add anything, now's the time to get it, you know, squared away. Yeah. Like I got to buy this week so I can be ready to install this weekend. Okay.
I don't know. I don't know what we have. Well, because we got new stuff last year.
Well, just the new strings. Like I have the strings, the strings are taken care of. It's just, do you want to add more stuff? Do you want lawn ornament?
I kind of like when we have stuff that line the flower beds, but I don't know what that is.
I lit up the tree. I'll probably do the little tree again, because that was kind of cute. That was cute. When you say line the beds, what do you mean?
Like before we had some big light stakes, like the ones that go in the ground. You know what I'm talking about.
I don't because I don't know that we had that. We had the ones that hang up in the Eve, the little four bigger ones.
Yeah. And then we had years ago, we had little ones that staked into the ground. That's cute. It was cute.
Well, let's look around. Okay. See what we might want to add to the mix? Yeah. Go a little griswalled, you know? Do it up big. You know? They won't turn on starting this weekend. Let's be clear. This is just the install, because you've got to do the install prior to snow. Okay. Because I'm not getting up on the roof in the snow.
Why don't you want to turn them on? Well, because it's not time yet. I know, but I always like a festive light. Yeah.
Well, and if I had the permanent lighting, which I would love to have, we'd have lights all year round. So I should coordinate with Jason, Jake, Brian, whatever his name is.
Jason, I bet that's the same. Could be, but it could be Jake.
Yeah, I don't know. Whatever his name is, the neighbor, I could coordinate with him and maybe we could get like a deal. Like we'll talk to whoever installs those and I'll say, hey, look, what if, what if we get like a twofer? What if, because they're not big houses. These are like small little farmy houses.
How are you going to find out his name?
Are you just going to say his name? Oh, I'm going to go, I got to know your name, man. I'm talking about you on the radio. I got to know your name. They'll go, what? Why are you talking about on the radio? I go, it's important stuff. Don't worry about it.
What if his name is Josh?
What if I doubt it's that
Josh and Josh are the festive friends.
We don't have the same name. You might. I don't think so. Matt, he could be a Matt. It could be a Matt.
We'll find out or a Gary.
He's not a Gary. There's no way if he says, oh, it's Gary. I'm going to go, no, it's not.
Oh, really?
The first thing I don't ask me, no, it's not. That's not your name.
I'm going to run over there today and be like, Hey, when my husband has your name.
Oh, is that right? Gary. Okay. No, no, it's not. What if it's Larry? It's not Larry or Gary. Or Perry or Barry. It's none of those. Nope. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather go on a scenic fall hike or a scenic drive through the mountains? Like today? Sure.
Interesting. Why not both? Why not take the scenic drive to the scenic?
Well, you're probably going to have to, aren't you? Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Okay. So both. Yeah. Why not?
Why not have both today? You can have both today. That's what I'm saying. Let's do both. Okay. Right now. Here's, here's the thing about a scenic drive through the mountains because I did this just a couple of weeks ago when I was fishing. Yes. It turns to snow real quick.
Yes, it does. The higher altitude you get. And I was fishing at almost 10,000 feet. It was just under 10,000 feet in ankle deep snow. So it was, I don't think it was a hike you would have enjoyed because of the ankle deep snow.
Yeah, I don't, I don't, I don't want to hike it snow, but I want to hike through some crisp, fallen leaves. Yeah.
Well, that could be arranged. I don't know there's going to be higher altitudes, many left on the tree.
No, I know. That's why you, they're on the ground and you hike through the leaves.
Yeah. But I also haven't been up there. So I don't know if there's snow on the ground, even in the, you know, 8,000 range. I don't know where we're at. We're not going to go that high. You sure?
I'm not going where snow is.
Well, the snow's in the mountains.
Yeah, I know, but that's where the hiking is. Yeah, but we're not going to go up that high. We're not going to find snow. Huh.
It's real easy to get that, to get to 8,000 feet.
I know it is, but I don't, I don't want to. Just leaves. I'm picking leaves.
I mean, we could go to a trailhead that starts at like 7,500 feet. And then all of a sudden we're, see, you got me all mapping. You got me talking about maps again.
No, no. Now you're in a plot, you're topography.
Yeah. Well, now I got to see where, where we go. The lights are closer together. That means it's steeper. You learned that, didn't you? Look at that. And who taught you that? A skill. That's what that is. That's a skill.
And that's important when you're looking at topography. I'm proud of you. Thank you. I think I'll hand you the map and compass. No, I don't. Follow your iron nose or whatever. We were talking about hanging up the Christmas lights. Yes. Want to know the trend this year?
Um, is it, well, the Halloween trend was decorating like it was the 90s.
Same with Christmas. Same? Yep. And so there are tutorials on how to decorate your windows with string lights like it's the 90s. And I've been doing this since I had my own bedroom, uh, when I lived at home. Yeah.
And, uh, And everyone in a dorm room has done this. Yeah.
Yeah. Uh, and there's a tutorial that is literally, and I'm, I'm going to tell you how to light up your window like it's the 90s this Christmas. You're going to need a 100 multicolor mini lights. You're going to need command strip hooks, which those didn't exist back then. I used thumbtacks, which never really worked because the, the push pin with the plastic little part is not big enough, but you would spread the little Christmas wires and put it on there.
Uh, that's how I did it. Push your thumbtack through the wire.
Right. Correct.
Correct. Yep. Especially if it was.
And then, and then you string it up from one corner to the other corner, the other corner, the other corner, the other corner, don you plug it in bottoming 90s Christmas decorations. You didn't use tape. No, I'm saying that's how they, that's the tutorial. No.
Oh, they have a tutorial.
That's the whole tutorial. I used tape. I know you did. I'm not surprised you use tape. I use thumbtacks. I wasn't rich like you were. Excuse me. You had tape way more expensive than thumbtacks. I might, uh, argue.
Depends on the tape, isn't it? We didn't have scotch. We didn't have brand tape. I have no idea what tape I had. Cheap tape.
I'll tell you, I couldn't find tape probably because we didn't have any.
We had off brand tape. Yeah. Well, you still had tape, didn't you?
Anyway, I think this is a pointless tutorial. Yeah, it is. And you'll be happy to know that it has 175,000 likes. It has 1300 comments and 68,000 people have saved it to their favorites. Oh my.
We got to start making tutorials on basic stuff.
This is the craziest, simplest thing I've ever seen, ever. And then people were like, I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas. I miss the 90s Christmas decor. Well, okay, this is just stringing up lights in like an apartment. This is not 90s. This is just hanging lights in a window. Interesting. And then somebody did say, if you really want to go old school, use scotch tape or tax to hold them up. Look how on brand we are.
It's how you do it. Scotch tape. Wow. Fancy.
Yep, we always use scotch tape. You have brand. And when the temperatures would change, down came the tape. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, it's not a 90s style thing, at least not what I'm saying.
It's very like it's just many lights because those were the strings that you would grab, but it's not. It doesn't like give 90s when I see it. It gives apartment. Dorm. Basement window at my house when I lived at home. Yeah, just like I'm not picking up a real strong decade.
Get some inflatable furniture, some blow of furniture. Okay. You got a dorm room in the early 2000s. Sure. Done. Christmas lights and inflatable furniture.
Yeah. That's it. That's what you need.
Redfield Howell ISU campus. Oh, is that right? Okay. Perfect.
Well, anyway, good luck decorating for the 90s, if that's your thing. We did see, as we were looking around this weekend, we did see those big plastic ones. They've done new ones. So there's like Bluey and My Little Pony and stuff, but they're that hard plastic. But they look like... Light up.
Yeah, they look vintage. Uh-huh. But they're new characters. Uh-huh. So I think that's interesting. I did not care for the My Little Pony when I don't need that in the front yard. Why? I did like the snowman. We got the little snowman for the studio last year.
I think he's great. Man, here we go.
