So they took one f off, and then they said it's Stuf. It's stuff trademarked. Look at us learning stuff today. Yeah. What did people do without Google?
I'll tell you. And as a matter of fact, we can celebrate it today. I was really struggling, but today is Dewey Decimal System Day. Dewey Decimal. So Hey.
That's actually people did. They used the Dewey Decimal. That's right. What a listen. That was a great idea.
Whoever had the Dewey Decimal System Sure. Fantastic idea. Now kids will never ever ever have to know kids these days. They'll never know the pain of pulling out one of those trees. A card file?
And then Yeah. Do a card shuffle thing. You can make a noise for that. I know it. I like what you did.
It was pretty good. Here's the here here's the thing. The Dewey Decimal System, honors the birthday of what's the guy's name? Dewey. Yeah.
Last name's Dewey. First name? Decimal. Nope. Decimal Dewey.
No. His name is not Decimal Dewey. Uh-uh. The man who invented the Dewey Decimal System, his last name is Dewey. He was born in 18/51.
He created the system to make library libraries more efficient. Melville. It's Melville Dewey. You were never gonna guess Melville. No.
I wasn't. Decimal. I like decimal. Decimal Dewey. Hey.
I'm Dewey. Dewey Decimal System. Of the Dewey Decimal System. Decimal Dewey. Nope.
His name is Melville. Good job, Melville. You'd you've made a really good invention. It's not used anymore. I mean, it is.
Oh, it's everything is still put that way. Yeah. It's just that card filed. Yeah. Good job, bud.
That was a good invention. Well done. Well done, Melville. Do you think his mom said that? Melville?
Melville. Good job, bud. Melville Dewey. How about that? And we didn't think we had anything to talk about this early in the last Talking about Melville.
Melville Dewey. Happy birthday, bud. It sounds like a disease. You came down with Melville Dewey. Oh.
No. That's not his legacy? No. No. Not at all.
It's numbers with the dot and more numbers after it. He was a chief librarian. I wanna be a chief librarian. Doesn't that sound like a cool title? Chief librarian, Melville Dewey.
Melville Dewey. Chief librarian. That's what he says when he hands you his business card. Melville Dewey, chief librarian. Nice to meet you.
You need to find anything in here, I'm your guy. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Do you know what, what I mean when I say, hey. It's time to start living by airport rules.
No. I I don't know if I do. Could you take a guess? Could I take a guess as to well, the air airport rules now there's security stuff. There's, arriving early.
There's No. I'm trying to think what you're talking about. We don't know anything about airport rules. This is what we found out. Okay.
Here's what we know. Airport rules is this new trend that's happening, and it's just a way of saying, like, there's no rules. Like, if you're flying somewhere K. You wear the most comfy clothes. Oh, sure.
Sure. Sure. Eat whatever you wanna eat in the airport Yeah. While you're waiting for your flight. So the new trend, people are doing this in their regular life to kind of escape from reality to kinda take it easy to relax.
Uh-huh. So they're doing kinda whatever they want. They're eating pizza for breakfast. They're having they're wearing pajamas all day. They're sleeping in.
They're watching whatever is on TV. Basically, anything goes. Do whatever you wanna do. There's no rules. There's no societal rules.
There's a lot of rules in an airport. There's a lot of structure at an airport. There's a lot of Listen. Security and, restrictions on sizes of things and extra fees for stuff. I didn't make the I didn't name the trend.
I'm just telling you what's happened. Here. Let's let's talk just about airplane airport etiquette. Arrive early. Respect the cues as in lines.
What did I just say? Mind your volume. I didn't Avoid overcrowding. Don't ignore hygiene. This one is ignore your eye.
Smelly food. Respect personal space. Listen. We've been doing our own version of airport rules for years. Occasionally, we have what we call a no shower sundae, and it's you just lounge about.
You just lounge about. I like our name better than airport rules because you're right. The airport has a lot of rules. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm trying to see I'm trying to read a little bit more about this. Somebody explains airport rules. Money means nothing, and the time of day means nothing. Yeah. This this is, this is made up.
It's not made up. It's totally made up. Who made it up? I'll tell you who made it up. Brooke Steinberg made it up when she wrote the article for the New York Post yesterday.
That's that's when Brooke Steinberg said, people are embracing airplane rules for everyday life, and money doesn't matter, and do whatever you want. She just made this up because her job was to write an article for the New York Post, and they were like she went, what am I gonna write about? And then she went, well, people like being cozy. I guess I'll write about that. That's it.
That's what she did. She made it up. When I Google it, it's exactly what comes up. That's why I I was I got to figure out the source of this. This is ridiculous, and it's made up by Brooke Steinberg.
Let's see what else Brooke has written on the New York Post. Brooke, he is calling you out. Listen. You wanna know what else Brooke writes? What else?
Well, she covers everything from bizarre food trends to canine couture. Oh, no, Brooke. She's a she's a puff piece writer. That's fine. Good for you, Brooke.
You wanna know her latest article? Yes. More airline stuff. Biggest changes coming to airlines in 2025. New baggage fees, carry on policies.
This lady's got a thing for airports. She's written 2 stories. Do you wanna know what? I'll bet she's go she's gonna be flying somewhere for Christmas, and she's thinking about it. I like being cozy.
I should write an article about that. You know what else she she wrote about? What? Black plastic kitchen utensils may be poisoning you. Should you throw them out?
I don't know, Brooke. Should we? She also got a couple articles about McDonald's, something about Grimace fans, something about bringing back a fan fave fave menu item with a cult crave? Yeah. You know, with a cult following.
I bet I can guess it's the little raps. Alright. We get it. Oh, hold on. December 5th.
Don't wear this popular outfit on a flight. Jeez. What is it? Obsessed with airplanes. I don't know.
Go follow Brooke. She'll tell you all about it. Brooke Steinberg. Brooke Steinberg, airport expert. Thanks, Brooke.
Airport expert. Well just saying. Check your sources. That's not a real thing. Brooke made it up.
You check your sources. I did. How many Hallmark Christmas movies have you seen this season? 0. I haven't seen any either.
How sad? That's pretty sad. Yeah. I was trying to find a Christmas movie last night. I specifically did not want ones that we've already seen.
Yeah. There's always, like, the 10 staples. Right? Sure. You see?
And I didn't want a Hallmark one. So I found 1, and it had Christina Applegate in it, and it had Ben Affleck in it. I never saw Christina Applegate. I woke up. I fell asleep, and then I woke up, and I was like, oh, there she is.
Oh, okay. Oh, I had Catherine O'Hara in it too. Never see her. She was the mom. She was at the very beginning.
I saw her. That's right. I remember that. What was that movie called? It was called Surviving Christmas.
Yeah. And I was pretty sure It was terribly written. It came out in 2004. We were reading the list of cast before the show. Mhmm.
And then all of a sudden, Ben Affleck was in it. And I went, what's Ben doing? Yeah. We didn't see And you're like, I didn't even see his name in the credits. James Gandolfini is in there.
It's not great. It's not a great movie. It wasn't bad. And then as I was watching it, I was like, I'm pretty sure I've seen this before. It's kinda terribly written.
It came out in 2004, so it's a 20 year old movie. It's a classic. Okay. Here's what you can expect to find in almost every Hallmark Christmas movie. Okay.
Do you wanna try and take a guess? A small town. A big city lady goes in her back door. Small town for Christmas. No.
That's not even on this list. I feel like that's the main plot. Okay. Yeah. That's the plot.
But, like, here's what you're gonna find. A Christmas tree lighting Yeah. Typically on Christmas Eve. Sure. You're gonna find also a reporter from the big city who went to cover, a Christmas tree lighting and, couldn't make it because of a snowstorm.
So she got stuck in the small town Yep. Where they were doing a Christmas lighting, and she went, I'm gonna cover this small town Christmas tree lighting instead. But also I fell in love with a guy. And then all the small town folk are like, don't do a story about our small Christmas tree lighting because we don't want everybody to show up. Mhmm.
K. Then you're gonna have a Santa look alike. Then you're gonna have a woman falling off a ladder into a handsome fella. Alright. I've never fallen off a ladder into a handsome fella.
It's because you climb ladders when I'm not around. And then I go, quit climbing ladders when I'm not around. It's a safety thing. Then you're gonna have a character named Nick, Chris, or Kringle. Then you're gonna have a pageant, a parade, or a fun filled festival.
Mhmm. You're gonna have snow that doesn't cover the car or the streets. But it's falling. Cute animals. Okay.
And a Christmas music sing along or caroling. Do they is that a thing? Do they really bring a Christmas sing along into every every show? Typically, they do. It does.
Let's see. What else do they have? Cups of cocoa that are rarely, if ever, drank. Sure. Shopping, red and green wardrobes, and last but not least, love.
Of course. Gotta have that. You've got to have that. You had a game that we were gonna play, and you haven't I do. Pulled out that game yet.
The game is, is the Hallmark Christmas movie game. Yeah. And it works where, we kinda go back and forth. I give you The title? The the plot summary.
Oh, okay. And you have to guess the name of the movie. Okay. Let's play that. Alright.
Well, let's, let me put together some of the, some of the plots. I'll find I'll find the site that has all the plots on it, and we can pick a few. And then, we'll play the game. I'm terrible at this game. We played this a little bit last year.
Yeah. I was bad at it last year too. It doesn't mean you will be this time. I know. Maybe I've gotten better.
Maybe. Here's a story. It comes to us from Kent, England where a 4 year old named Elliot is nearing the end of his leukemia treatments Oh, Elliot. Which is good news. That's good news.
Yeah. After months of going in and out of children's hospitals, Elliot is now enjoying some more hobbies. He just started playing soccer, which is cool. Good job, Elliot. Yeah.
But he has not forgotten the challenges of being in a hospital, and he wanted to spread some holiday cheer to kids who haven't quite gotten out of the hospital yet. Aw. And so, last year, his family, started delivering advent calendars to hospitals. They would they would go buy different ones and then drop them off, which is kind of a fun little thing. This year, he and his mom organized a toy drive through an Amazon wish list and kinda promoted that and said, hey.
If you wanna help us out, you can buy something off this list, and it's all gonna be donated. Well, they ended up with, like, a 400 different gifts getting purchased. And so they went to 3 different children's hospitals and delivered all of these gifts to kids that are, in the hospital. So I think it's really cool. It's pretty fun.
Elliott said the reception from the pair I don't think Elliott said this. This had to have been the mom. The reception. The reception. That's why I went, no.
Elliott didn't say this. The mom said the reception from the parents was brilliant. The nurses were all amazed by how many gifts there were. We brought in these huge crates of presents on on dolly carts and delivered presents, which is really cool. That is cool.
She did say of Elliott that he is so special. He's a very kind little boy. He's quite outgoing considering everything that he's been through, and he, you would never think, that anything was ever up with him. He's quite strong willed and just powers through. So way to go, Elliott.
Congratulations on wrapping up your treatments. I think that's fantastic. Yeah. And, what a great thing, to do for for kids that are in that situation. Just awesome.
So way to go. That's a good story, Josh. That's good news to get you going is what it is. Hey. What?
I am getting I don't wanna talk about it. I don't wanna talk about it. K. Fine. This is this is my impression of you I don't sell my stats.
6 weeks. For 1. I don't wanna even talk about it. We're gonna talk about it now. I Why?
Won fantasy football this week. Yeah. I know. You Long way man. Come on.
By about 40 points. 38. 38 points. I said by about 40 points. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I know. What about it? Feels pretty good.
Oh, does it? Yeah. It does. I think you thought that you had it in the bag. No.
I did not. You thought you were, like, in a sweep. Nope. I didn't, and I never have. Alright.
Here's the standings because I was curious how this was gonna turn out. Yeah. You have a one game winning, streak, which is a big deal. Good for you. Thank you.
You are in 4th in the league. I know. I was in 1st. Our son, who was not doing well I know. Is in 1st in the league out of nowhere.
He's won the last 5 weeks in a row. He is now 86. You are 68. Both Emery and I are 7 and 7, tied for 2nd place. I have lost 3 in a 3 in a row.
No. You're in 4th because you there is no 3rd. There I'm in 3rd. No. Yeah.
Because one of us will take 3rd. You guys are in 2nd currently. We're tied for 2nd. For 2nd, so that makes me 3rd. Which means no.
It doesn't. It makes me 4th because whenever what one of us loses 2nd place, we go to 3rd. But you're both in 3rd right now. We're both in 3rd. Loses and goes to 3rd, I'll be in 4th.
But right now, I'm in 3rd. It says 1224. It doesn't matter. I'm in 3rd. You're not.
Just I am. Oh, you're in 4th. There are 4 teams. There are 4 teams. You're last.
I've got 3 plays. Okay. Whatever it takes to get you to be comfortable with being in 4th place, I guess. So we move into the playoffs now. And as we move into, in into the 1st week of playoffs, you are playing against our son because you are in 4th.
Right. Nope. You're in 4th. There. So you will be playing against the team in 1st, so you will be playing against back in the No problem.
In the, 1st round, and I will be playing against our daughter in the 1st round. And then, it will be determined whoever wins from these two games this week moves on to the winner's bracket for round 2. Well, we're all gonna go there because there's only 4 of us. Nope. There's only 2 that move on.
Really? No. Now in leagues move on. Listen. In leagues that have more than 4 teams in them Mhmm.
Only the top teams make it. Like, there are people today waking up done with Fantasy Football because they didn't make it to the playoffs. I'm sorry for those people. Right. We only have 4 teams in our league, so everybody makes it to the playoffs.
I don't wanna be done with fantasy. It's been kind of fun. Has it? Yes. Well, there's at least 2 weeks for you.
That's what you have to look forward to. It's been a roller coaster of emotions, hasn't it? For some. For for others, it's been pretty even kill the whole season, but there's there's some of us in the league. The one who's in 4th, for example.
3rd. See? It's a roller coaster of emotion. I'm sorry. Roller coaster of you're saying you haven't had any roller coaster of emotions?
No. I've been pretty Yeah. Steady. You? You hated it at the beginning because you were losing so much, and you had to build your roster how many times, Josh?
Don't even come at me with that. Some of us have had emotions. For a second. You are. I'm so mad at you right now.
I hope I lose the whole thing. You've hoped I lose the whole thing from week 1. What are you talking about? It's not a new thing. All of a sudden, you're like, no.
I hope I hope I win it. Yeah. Okay. Well yeah. Yeah.
I had I had Lamar Jackson as my quarterback. He's on a bye week, and so I was nervous about who to pick up as a quarterback this week. I picked up Joe Burrow from the Bengals. Yeah. Fine pick.
He did good. Yeah. He performed for me yesterday. He did really good. In fact, he did better than Jalen Hurts, your quarterback, and that's what pushed me over the line.
How about it? How about it? So now I go, do I keep Joe Burrow? Well Or do I put it in Lamar? I will give you zero tips.
So good luck. Welcome to the playoffs. Jerk. You are a raccoon. You and I were at the grocery store the other day, and, it occurred to me that I was having not a deja vu moment, but more of like a moment where I I couldn't remember if it was real or not.
Okay. And so I I just asked a question, and you were you just said, no. That didn't happen in real life. I went, okay. Must have been a dream.
And it was simple. We had cookies In the dream. In the dream, and we wanted to, have milk with our cookies. And so we were at the store, And I said, do we have milk? And you said, I don't think so.
And I said, well, let's just get a half gallon. And that was really the majority of the dream. Oh, wow. I don't remember much more than that. But for some reason, you said, that is so sweet, you dreaming about our future.
And I said, well, is it? I don't know, like, in your head, what were you thinking? Because you said you also said when we were at the store in your dream and you asked me, do we have milk? And I said, no. And you said, well, let's get some, but let's just get a half gallon because it's just gonna be you and me.
I don't know if I said that. You did. I don't know if I did. You did. But but you in your head said this is he's dreaming about growing old.
Yeah. And then the kids are we're empty nesters and That's why we need milk, but we only need a half a gallon so we don't waste it because the 2 of us won't drink a whole gallon and the time it expires. This is not all of this was filled in by your brain. No. No.
No. No. Yo. Yo. Yo.
Yo. All I said was You said did I say that we needed to get a half gallon of milk? Because I can't figure out if that was reality or not. We never buy a half gallon of milk. That's why I thought it was weird.
You said, let's just get a half gallon because it's just the 2 of us. And I said, aw, that's so sweet. I didn't invent that in my head. You kinda did. I did not.
Yeah. No way, bro. Yeah. Because I have no idea if we had the kids at home. I it was a dream.
If we had kids at home, we would've gotten a full gallon. Would we have? Why are you trying to crush money? Trying to I'm trying to bring it back into reality. I am in reality.
And in reality, I'm dreaming about growing old. Sweet dream of us growing old together. Yeah. You did. Cookies and milk.
You're right. I did. Adorable. That's so sweet. Thanks.
And now you're trampling Halana. It's nice. Real nice. It was Nope. Real nice, Josh.
You were gonna about to be the best husband, and now you're the worst. Whatever. That is not true. I just really wasn't sure if that's what actually happened. I don't know if we were empty nesters alone or if we just didn't wanna share cookies.
And we thought, no. This is just you and me. We're gonna eat them in the car. I really don't know. Either way, that's sweet.
Okay. Well, cookies and milk is is the majority of the dream. All of the other stuff, you weren't even in my head when I dreamt it, so I don't know what to tell you. There I was all by myself, Sunday night, nothing to do, and I say, I'm gonna watch a movie. And then I notice that there's an old movie that I loved growing up, one of my all time favorites, and I say, I'm gonna watch this.
And I can't wait for my family to watch this with me. When I tell my family, do you guys wanna watch this movie with me? It's hilarious. And everyone says, no thanks. And then I sit on the couch.
I don't think anybody ever said no thanks. I think everybody just ignored the text message you sent to the family. I asked in person, and everyone said no. Thank you. And then I said, maybe they'll change their minds.
So I turned it on, full blast, thinking, sounds will come and get them. The sounds of the hilarious movie will come and get them. About 20 minutes in, I'm sitting there by myself, and I send a text and I said, hey. I'm watching this movie if anybody wants to come watch. Nobody showed up.
Response. Yeah. You guys didn't even text me at all to say, no. Thank you. We'd already told you we weren't interested in it.
So rude. You picked a movie from 1987. Yes. Adventures in babysitting. Yeah.
It's a fine movie. It's the one of the best. I got to babysit the blues. Yeah. I've seen it.
It came out in 1987. I know that movie is awesome. And I'm glad that you felt like you wanted to watch it again. Elizabeth Choo? Yeah.
Come on. Sure. Did you know that they made a remake of adventures in babysitting in, like 2016 Yeah. It said. Get out of here.
Yeah. I was trying to see, details about the the it was a made for TV movie Okay. In 2016. It Instead of the babysitter blues, it looks like it has a hip hop moment. You can't.
You cannot do that. You can't. A different story. Is it? 2 teen rival babysitters, Jenny and Lola, team up to hunt down one of the kids who accidentally runs away into the big city with no supervision.
O m g. No. That looks terrible. That movie looks terrible. Yeah.
If you're looking for a fun movie, might I recommend adventures in Babysitting 1987? Brenda Brenda? Gets lost in the bus station. She doesn't have her glasses. Oh, no.
There's hijinks that ensue. Babysitter blues. And I listen. When I it's on Disney plus. When I turned it on, it had a big thing that said this movie has been edited.
And I went, what? Yeah. Why did they edit this? They took out some bad language. Okay.
So the bad language is gone, which as a kid when I watched that movie, I loved the bad language. Oh, really? But if you're a parent and you're like, oh, I remember there's some bad language. There's only, like there was only 3 bad words. I see.
They're gone. So they took out a lot of the real bad stuff. Yeah. Is that the only thing they changed? Yeah.
That was it. They just took out the bad words. Well, okay. Good on them. Which if you're a parent, you're like, thank you.
Yeah. If you're a kid, you're like, oh, man. I was gonna hear some words. As an adult Yeah. I was like, no.
That's not what they say there. Uh-huh. Did the mouth keep moving, but they overdubbed the word? I don't remember. Probably something like that.
Interesting. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it by yourself, though. Myself. It was it was fine. Sure wish I could have shared it by someone.
Here we go. We were out doing some shopping last weekend, and I found something. And I said, oh, I'm gonna buy this for my own self. Because that's how it works. This time of year, you go, oh, I'll buy this for me.
Because I know no one else is gonna buy it for me. Oh. Oh, come on. What you bought for yourself goes along with the last gift that I said, that's not a great gift idea. It's a great go buy it for yourself idea.
And I did. No. I know. It was $5. I think our daughter was more upset that you bought it for yourself than anybody else.
I don't think myself or our son really were like, okay. Cool for you. Our son doesn't care about anything. Well, I know. But both of us just went neat.
But she went, that's a gift idea, and you bought it for yourself. No. I think she was excited because then she could also use it. Well, there is that. I think that's what she was the most excited about.
You found a, $5 bamboo bath tray. Yes. It goes across the bath, and it'll hold, one It'll hold candle and a It'll hold anything you want it to. And your phone. Hold a yeah.
Yeah. It's just a tray. It's got a little insert where you can put your phone. I'm telling you, your phone's ending up in the bath. No.
It isn't. Dude. Dude. That's a flimsy piece of bamboo wood. It's less than 4 inches wide.
That thing is going in the drink. It's not. It's Yeah. It is. Pretty inserted in there.
My phone's gonna be so secure. Right. Until you move and hit it with your knees, and then that thing goes bloop. It's gonna happen. It's not.
Because I'm careful. By the end of the week, there will be an update on this bath tray, and you'll go, well, it happened. It fell in the tub. Mm-mm. I promise you.
I'm so careful. Nothing's gonna happen. It's I'm telling you telling you you're playing with fate. You don't know me at all if you think my phone's going in the tub. Your your phone's going in the tub.
No. It isn't. It's going in the tub. I can't wait to use it. I think Amber used the bath tray last night.
Did she give you any feedback? No. I forgot to ask. I don't know if she used it or not, but I'll have to ask. She used my she used my Christmas present before I even got to use it.
The nerve. Your Christmas present you buy yourself. Yeah. Because nobody has to buy me. Present.
That's that is not true. You get plenty of Christmas gifts, and people love you, and stuff happens. I don't know why you're playing this poor pitiful me no Christmas card. I don't even know what's going on. No one will buy you a bath pillow because that's a go buy it yourself item.
They just buy it for me. I just want somebody to buy it for me. That's all. It's fine. It's fine.
I grabbed that bath tray, and you looked at me like, you don't need that. Yes. I do need that. Yes. I will use that.
Alright. I can't wait to get out my back. You know what it seems like to me? What? Some I'm gonna have to move out of the way to shower.
You don't even use that shower. Sometimes. There's a there's a handful of times since we've lived in that house. I've probably showered in the upstairs shower 5 times. I don't like that shower.
I do. I don't like the shower head. Ugh. I don't care for it. Okay.
Well, then don't complain about my bathroom. We don't have we don't have a mat in there. It's a slippery tub situation. It's dangerous. You need a slip mat.
You're gonna fall down. Not if I'm sitting in the tub. Ugh. Bath water. Gross.
I don't like baths. Then leave my bath tray alone. Yeah. Some of them have to move the shower upstairs. No.
Let me have my joys in life. Bath water. Of course. Our daughter has, on her Christmas list, a disposable camera Mhmm. Which I think is fascinating because she has, at her fingertips, a camera.
That's right. On your phone. Digital cameras. She can take as many pictures as she wants. She can delete as many pictures as she wants, and it's completely free.
It's gotta be an aesthetic thing. Right? Like, there's a vintage sort of look and feel to it. That's the only thing I can figure out. I know.
And then we're looking at them, and it was $20 for 1 disposable camera. And then you have to figure out where is going to develop them. And I know there are places that develop them, but it's not like, there used to be on every street corner a 1 hour Every street corner. There was a 1 hour photo printing place. Sure.
And now they don't I think you have to ship it in somewhere and then have your picture shipped back. I think you're right. I don't know that there's I don't know that there's a local film developer like there used to be. And then also, you get your pictures back, and then heads are chopped off. Oh, yeah.
I know. And things are blurry or things I think you're pointing the way. I think that's the point. The point is that it's it's harder to come by. It's not like it used to be the thing.
Now digital photos are the thing, and nobody ever prints anything, and you just end up with, you know, all of this digital storage locker of photos Yeah. Where, you know, we used to have tangible photographs in hand, and I think there's a desire to have that again. Plus, there's something about that windy little noise, the charging the flash, that little high pitched thing, and then clicking it and having it mechanically go chunk and then quick quick quick quick quick quick quick. I know. It's crazy.
I don't understand it either. And then you get what? 10 photos? Yeah. That's it.
That's all you get. Right. And then you're done. Then your camera's done. Develop And it probably costs how much you think to develop film.
I don't know. I have no idea. I gotta look that up. Is there a is there a thing on the camera that says what what to do? I don't I don't even know.
We didn't even know. I don't know. I'm gonna have to research or something. How funny. I know.
What a funny scenario. Be nostalgic because It has to be. Even walking around. They told you we were on, vacation. We were in San Diego in the spring, and I saw people walking around with old eighties nineties video cameras hanging from their hips because and and literally on a lanyard so that they can film old old looking stuff.
There's a nostalgic look to it that you can't achieve without that, and I get that from a camera perspective. The disposable thing is interesting to me. But an old 35 millimeter camera, they still make the film. I get that. You can still get it.
But film is so good these days. I look at old pictures and old video, and it's nothing is clear. The color is not sharp. Use the use today's technology. It's so much better.
I don't understand, Josh. There's a bunch of different places online I'm looking. I mean, there's a bunch will develop? Mhmm. Yeah.
They're like, just just mail in your camera. Just drop it in. Yeah. Just mail it in. And then how much is it?
I mean, you have to mail it in, obviously, so that there's the cost of that. Yeah. And then you print to print. So yeah. I mean, whatever it is for your prints.
And then how long does it take to come back? These guys are like, we'll do it in, like, 1 to 2 days upon receiving it. I have I have some old film. I wonder if it's still good, but I need to ship it in and get it printed. We can build a dark room and get the chemicals and just do it ourselves.
We could. There's always that. There is always that. I'm not gonna do that. Let's just let's just mail it in.
Let's just do that. That seems like a better option. Alright. I'm trying to see like, obviously, there's places you can print. I'm trying to see if there are places you can actually develop in, you know, in the area.
I'm gonna have to figure that out. I'm gonna do some research. I'm a find out. Okay. Interesting.
Alright. I'll get back to you. Oh, we're all gonna be waiting? No. I'm not gonna do it right now.
I'll do it later. I often joke that I am like a toddler. If it's out of sight, it's out of mind. Meaning, you could tell me something. If I don't write it down or I don't put a reminder in my phone, forget it.
Forget it. So what did you forget? What did you forget? What's the toddler move today? Well, on my phone this morning, I got a reminder that said, simply, chestnuts and tortillas.
K. So you're supposed to put the chestnuts in the bowl of water. Did that happen? Yes. What?
I know because I got the reminder on my phone. Big deal. Big deal. And then I know what the were for, but we end up doing something different. So the tortilla note carries over to tomorrow.
I brought the tortillas because I knew I would forget, and I didn't wanna take another reminder on my phone. I didn't wanna put another one. So I brought the tortillas today, and I'll just save them for Next week. When we need them. Yeah.
Are we gonna tell what the tortillas are for? Okay. It is not We should do that tortilla challenge. The tortilla challenge? Yeah.
You should. I brought smack your face with a tortilla. That's a timely trend. I brought 2 tortillas. 1 for you, 1 for me.
You just wanna smack me with a tortilla. Kinda. Rude. It doesn't hurt. You don't know?
I do know because I've played the tortilla challenge before. Yeah. And I didn't unleash the tortilla on you. Oh, really? So when you say it doesn't hurt, yeah, because I was being gentle.
Being gentle? Yeah. Like, I'm not gonna full force tortilla you to the face. Do it. No.
I dare you. No. I can handle it. No. And then I get to retaliate in return.
And, that would be like a fly landing on me. Are you serious? Are you serious? Yeah. You don't even know the strength that I possess.
I know the strength you possess. It is not in your tortilla flinging abilities. We're gonna have to have a tortilla challenge, aren't we? No. Aren't we?
No? Yes? No? We're going to. You don't even know.
I gotta unleash some Christmas angst. Oh, okay. Through tortilla. I just thought it was hilarious, but in my phone, my reminder was chestnuts and tortillas. Mhmm.
And I knew what both of them were without you explaining it. So you've communicated enough about the things you need to get done in your phone list. I could have reminded you. But you don't. No.
Because I forgot. Yeah. Because you always forget. Because you don't put anything and you don't write anything down, so you forget everything. It's better that way.
No. No. Yeah. Because then people go, remember I said that thing? And I go, no.
Me. Remember when I said to remind you of that thing? No. Yeah. No.
I don't. I don't remember that happening at all. We can't tell you about what the tortillas are for because it has to be a secret for the office. Shh. Chef said too much.
Quiet down. How many people can keep a secret? 1. 1. There are 2 of us.
Chantel. Still, I have a terrible secret. You wanna know what, annoys me? What? Well, you and I play a game, and we have for a long time, like a band name game.
And the band name game rules are pretty simple. It works like categories. We pick a letter. This is usually when we're on a road trip and we need something to entertain ourselves. And we'll pick a letter, and we'll just go back and forth on band names until we can't think of any more Mhmm.
And then we move on. But we always have the rule that our, our band names that we pick have to be categorized the same way they would be at a record store. Correct. And so, when when a band starts with the word the, the the is excluded. They don't show up under t.
They show up under the name of the band after the word the, for example. Yes. Tom Petty would be under p for Petty, for example, not under t for Tom. Well but if it's Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers And this is where we get into conversations, and this is how the game goes every time. So, you and I browsing through a a record store the other day stumbled across the fact that, no one knows how to do this anymore.
Alphabetize. And I don't know if people just don't zone these sections of the stores or what, but nothing is organized. No. We were looking for some vinyls, some records Yeah. And forget about it.
Yeah. It's a disaster. So the first problem was that they had dividers. So there was an a, a b, a c, and a d. And, typically, from my experience, you put the c's behind the c divider.
So that would be the beginning of the c's. Yeah. I don't disagree. But they had put everything in front of. So it was records Yeah.
The divider for a, records, the divider with b. Yeah. So they put all of the stuff in And maybe that's just because of the way the shelf is. Like, because the shelf starts down low and goes up, maybe that's why they're doing it that way. Right now.
And so maybe you're thinking about it. Like, maybe you need to start at the top and work your way down, like, the dividers at the top of the shelf. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. It's a disaster.
It's gotta be better. But, you know, when we had record stores in the olden days back in my days CDs. CDs, cassettes, records, whatever it was, it was big tables, and everything was flat. So it wasn't, elevated like that. True?
The ones that I went to it were? They were the ones I went to were elevated. They had they had stuff. Even within the alphabetized section, though, like the c section Yeah. And maybe it is because people just put stuff back, and they don't care about it was, like, d e followed by I know.
D a. Yeah. Nobody was alphabetizing, and that was driving me great. It's impossible to find stuff. That would be the first Yeah.
Thing I would do. If I if I was in charge of that section, I'd be like, first job of the day, organizing the records, alphabetizing. Because that gives me great satisfaction. I know. And then every time somebody walked into your section, you would be hawkeying it.
I would. I'd be be watching where they put the bag. You put that back right. DA goes in front of DE. Yep.
Sir Uh-uh. Thank you. Learn how the alphabet works. I can see you. You'd be the you'd be the alphabetized, czar, liaison, whatever the word is.
You would be the person who'd you'd be smacking hands. Yeah. Put that back. Put it back correctly. I also want them to bring back the listening stations.
I really enjoyed, being able to grab a CD or, or anything and, you know, put on the headphones, scan it, and listen to, you know, 30 or 40 seconds or whatever of the songs on that record. You can do that on your phone now, can't you? And I know, but it's there's an experience of doing it at the record store. I get it. I miss places like, like, like Sam Goody and Hastings and things like that.
There were too. There were good things that were going on when you could walk into a store dedicated to music. And, and then they all became dedicated to novelty, and that was that was a bad move. That was a bad business decision. Whoever decided, let's step away from music and start carrying all of this kitschy display stuff, You screwed it up.
Kitschy display stuff and But that started to take over all of the inventory. So you were getting way more of that stuff and way less focus on the music. Yeah. That's, that was the bad move. I'm with you, buddy.
Yeah. Also, let's do some alphabetizing. Okay. Let's work on it. A and then a a and then a b You got it.
And then a c. That's it. Right? And the numbers go before all of it. That's true.
Right. And those go in numerical order. You get it. I know. Let's teach the world.
I have an alphabetized wall of CDs. You'd be very proud. I am very proud. I know you are. And I can find everything with ease because I also also can alphabetize.
Here's my conundrum, though, with my CDs on the wall. What? Should I alphabetize by artist and then by album title, or should I alphabetize by artist and release date? Oh, see? I think release date.
I think you do artist and then release date. I don't think you alphabetize the name of the album. I think you you organize the album by the release date. 1st to last. Oldest to newest.
Yes. Correct. So the oldest would be on top Yes. As I work my way down to the newest album. Yes.
Interesting, interesting theory. What would you do? I I just have them sorted by artist. I haven't made been able to make that decision. I think for listeners they're just in there in no order other than by artist because So dangerous.
I can't make that decision. I think it's a release date. It has to be. I'll think about redoing it. I don't know if I have the time.
Just do it. It'll feel so much better if you yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'll think about it.
So organized? I feel pretty organized right now. It's not troubling me at all. Okay. I'm I I honestly can't be bothered.
That's really what it comes down to. I did the effort years ago to put them in alphabetical order. I think I'm pretty good. For now. Maybe I'll go in there and do it for you.
No. Because I also have all the comedies. I I it's a whole thing. It's a whole thing. Year in review.
Here's your year in review of music. Everybody does it. Yeah. Every and I like the memes that are popping up about the year in reviews. People are making their own.
Okay. Like, somebody made one for, like, LimeWire. Okay. They're like, my LimeWire downloads of the year. Like, stuff like that.
I I think those are funny. So the Google Photos, we use Google Photos. Yeah. It did one of those as well. It was like a year of review of photos.
I don't know if I've seen that. Which was kind of interesting. I I took 395 photos this year. Really? That was equals out to 10 rolls of film.
We're just talking about film. In your photo thing? I'm in there. I don't see it. Okay.
I'll show you in just a minute. Then it tells me who I smiled most with. And? Look who that is. It's this guy.
That's me. Let's go. We shared a 107 smiles in 2024. How about that? Then it'll tell you who your all star cast is.
So it is you, Emery, Beck, and my sister. That's who I took the most photos with and of. Alright. And then it'll tell me your vibes according to my pictures. So my vibes according to my pictures are outdoorsy, loves a hug Okay.
And culture club member. What? I don't know what that means. Okay. I'll show you where to go.
Are you ready? Yeah. Okay. Go to this, your photo thing. Yeah.
Click on it. I'm in there. Thank you. Yes. I know.
I'm in the app. Then if you go to camera, I think. No. I don't know. It was, like, right up I it's not showing it now because I used it.
I played it. So it was right up at the top. Maybe I swiped it away. You probably did. Oh, go to your photos.
I'm in my photos. Like, right there. Click on that photos. I'm I'm in that. And then it'll say your 2024 photo book.
I don't have that. Well, sorry. They must not give they must not be giving me one. I even went into memories just to see because that's where they usually show, like, things that have happened Yeah. Other frames Yeah.
Stuff like that. I got nothing. Nothing? Nothing. See?
2024 recap. Yeah. No. It's right there. I don't have it.
Sounds sad. I even looked up how to do it before I even asked you. I I tried to look it up on Google first, and and they're like, no. You can get your recap if you just go into your, featured memories carousel. No.
You Right. Nope. That's where I got mine. Mine's not there. We'll never know who your who you share the most smiles with.
I know why. Because I have a different privacy setting Oh. And you don't. In order to get your recap, you must have face groups turned on, which I do not. Turn your face groups on.
I don't want it on. Why? Because then they're scanning my photos for face recognition, and I don't want that setting turned on. Oh. So I have a different privacy setting.
That's why I don't have a Google photo recap. I don't even know how I turned that on, quite honestly. You do you. I am doing me. Well, congrats congrats on your cool photo thing.
Thank you. It is time to ask that, ever burning question, the one that gets asked every single weekday around this time. It's would you rather this or that. Would you rather wrap Christmas presents for hours or make gingerbread houses? I pick I don't mind either.
I hate both. Alright. So this is one for you. This is lovely. You rather do the thing or the thing?
I'm gonna pick Christmas presents. You're gonna wrap Christmas presents for hours. For hours. You know why? Why?
Because I can turn on a movie, and I can just or listen to a podcast, and I can just Same with gingerbread house. Yeah. I know. But I get so frustrated by a gingerbread house. The walls never stay up, and then I get frustrated, and then I just wanna tear the whole thing apart.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Here's the dealio. What? You don't have the patience for a gingerbread house?
Correct. Correct. I made a gingerbread house a couple of years ago. Uh-huh. What?
3 years ago or so? Yeah. I was very proud of it. I thought it turned out very nice. You did great.
I did individual icing for shingles on the roof. Yes. I I put a lot of effort into that thing. I thought it turned out very, very well. I was very excited about it.
It probably took me 45 minutes maybe. Uh-huh. It was not difficult, and I enjoyed the process. And you're saying you would rather wrap Christmas presents for hours. Correct.
Ugh. I don't enjoy gingerbread house making. I will do 45 minutes of gingerbread house over hours of Christmas wrapping. I don't mind. Like, I hate both of them.
Like, neither one of them are very much fun to me. I don't get joy in either one of them, but I feel like the the Christmas present wrapping can just turn into a tedious project that you're just going through the motions of. Whereas a gingerbread house, no. Forget it. You have to make those walls stand up?
Yeah. No. Thank you. As long as you do the icing, the right consistency and let it harden, you're gonna be fine. Yeah.
And I never do that. So Because you have to hold them together so they can harden up. I know. I know. As we both agree set.
I don't have the patience. No. You do not. So I'm gonna pick presents. I'm gonna have to change my thought process on a present that I was thinking about getting you for Christmas because of this conversation.
Because I just realized you don't have the patience for it. So there's that. Oh, no. I might It's fine. No.
You might have the patience. No. You don't. What is it? Tell me what is it.
You. No. Please. No. How many people can keep a secret?
This guy. That's it. In this room, one guy. Anyway, would you rather this or that? How's your, pen tapping going over there?
Pretty good? Yeah. Good. Why? Good.
Good. Good. Hey. Speaking of things that are really super good, we have a a listener of the show, who, decided that we needed to have some chocolates and, delivered a delicious box of chocolates. I I at least I think they were delicious, because, well, I I had one.
I left you all the good one. No. Listen. Here's what happened. This box of chocolates, went home and, sat on the piano.
And I walked by the other day, and I went, oh, yeah. I wanna try some of this. And so I opened up the lid, and there were 3 left. No. There were more than 3.
There were 3 left. There were more than 3. There weren't many, but there were certainly more than 3. There were 3. There were more than 3.
A peanut butter one, there was a lemon one, and there was a raspberry one. There were more than 3 because I also had more and a coconut one. Oh. You're right. There were 4.
And I said, well, of these four choices, I'll try the raspberry one, and it was nice. It was good. Wonder how all the rest of them were. Okay. Who who got into them?
Who got into these chocolates? Here's here's what I know. I'll start with facts. Oh, I'm all ears. I'm I'm gonna tell you.
Shush. You do not necessarily love sweets. You don't have a sweet tooth, and you specifically do not like sweets with nuts. This specifically was a box of chocolates that had she was like, oh, the pecan brittle is the best. Right.
And I was excited. You don't like pecans. I mighta like to try a bite. It was really good. I bet.
I bet it was. And the rest of the box the rest of the box. Quite a few in that box. Yeah. The rest of the box like a box of 24.
It was a large box of chocolates. We've took that box home. Yeah. I know. And we put it on top of the piano, which is in the middle of the thoroughfare of our house.
So every time I walked out or walked in, I was like, oh, chocolate. And I would have myself a chocolate. And then pretty soon, that whole box was gone. Isn't that a thing? Yeah.
Wild. I know. So on a whim, I went, oh, yeah. I wanna try some of that. I don't know what happened.
Weird. That box just mysteriously disappeared. I don't think it mysterious. I know exactly the answer to the mystery. What do you think?
You needs to self control and also to share. No. There's no self control at Christmas time. There's no none. None.
It's somebody who's whoever it's who's It's not. Ever faulted on the piano. Did you do that? Because then that's your fault. No.
There the fault is in the person who opens the box and eats 21 chocolates before somebody gets to have 1. Not you're making it sound like it was all in one sitting. This was throughout would say days. Throughout 2 days. And no.
It was longer than 3 days. No. It was a week. Bro, stop making me sound like a gluttonous pig. I didn't say that.
That was your own doing. Anyway, we gotta wrap up the show. Yeah. We do. Hope you have a great rest of your Tuesday.
I'm gonna try to find some chocolates. Maybe I'll have some, on my own sometime. Okay. Have a great day. Sorry.
And we'll see you back here tomorrow morning, bright and early. I'll be here. Yeah. I'll bring the chocolates. No.
You won't. No. You won't. Have a good day. Talk to you later.
